BIG 12 MEN’S TOURNAMENT

Clash with Cowboys

Self loves playing in K.C.

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY , M O. — Bill Self, who played in four Big Eight Tournaments in Kansas City’s Kemper Arena, grew up as a fan of the event that precedes the allimportant NCAAs. “I like it,” Self, coach of the No. 1-seeded Kansas Jayhawks and former Oklahoma State point guard, said of the conference carnival, which has upgraded to the shiny, new Sprint Center.

“My favorite part of it being in Kansas City is, it is a big deal to Kansas City,” Self added of the 2011 Big 12 tourney.

My “How many places will favorite part you go where of it being in you’ll get the Kansas City crowd you’ll get in this par- is, it is a big ticular set- deal to ting? Last year Kansas City.” when we played K-State in the f inals — KU men’s basket(in K.C.), it ball coach Bill Self was an unbelievable setting. I think the biggest thing is the interest level here is so great.”

How important is the Big 12 tourney to KU’s fan base and even the Jayhawk coaches and players?

“Obviously to me, the conference tournament isn’t as important as the regular season,” said Self. He has led KU to seven straight regular-season conference crowns. “Everybody would agree, unless you are in a one-bid league. What it does is gives everybody hope, everybody excitement, everybody incentive to play.”

KU today meets Oklahoma State in an 11:30 a.m. Big 12 quarterfinal in Sprint Center. A victory would mean a spot in Friday’s 6 p.m. semifinals against either Colorado or Kansas State. The title game is 5 p.m. Saturday.

“It’s not the most important thing as far as from our standpoint,” Self said, noting the

KU to face Oklahoma State in quarterfinals

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas University’s basketball practice ended at the perfect time early Wednesday afternoon, crunch time of a first-round Big 12 tournament clash between Oklahoma State and Nebraska.

“That was a great win for Oklahoma State,” KU coach Bill Self said.

He dined on barbecue in an Allen Fieldhouse lounge while watching the Cowboys (19-12) close out a 5352 victory over the Cornhuskers (19-12) in Sprint Center.

“They are in a situation they

probably need to win the tournament (to get an NCAA bid),” Self added of the No. 9-seeded Pokes, OKLA. ST. who meet No. 1 VS. KANSAS seed KU in a quarterfinal What: Big 12 contest at 11:30 tournament a.m. today in quarterfinal Sprint Center.

“I think When: 11:30 a.m. they’ll play in today the postseason, Where: Sprint no question. To Center, K.C., Mo. get in the TV: ESPN2 (34, 234) NCAAs, they probably have to win this, which they are certainly capable of doing.”

INSIDE Eric Sorrentino writes that Oklahoma State can’t expect to score 53 points again and beat top-seeded Kansas today. Big 12 tournament coverage on page 4B. Self — his Jayhawks boarded a huge, black charter bus for their downtown Kansas City hotel at 1:40 p.m. Wednesday — has a healthy dose of respect for coach Travis Ford’s Pokes, a team the Jayhawks slammed, 92-65, on Feb. 21 in Allen Fieldhouse.

“Even though we just played

them two weeks ago, our players don’t know them as well as Nebraska,” Self said. The Jayhawks beat the Huskers twice.

“I said all along I like their team.

They can throw three bigs at you (Matt Pilgrim, Marshall Moses, Jarred Shaw) and have guys who can stretch it from the perimeter (Keiton Page, Reger Dowell).”

Moses, a 6-foot-7, 255-pound senior power forward, exploded for a career-best 27 points off 8-of11 shooting against KU. He hit 10 of 13 free throws.

BIG 12 WOMEN’S TOURNAMENT

Baylor routs Kansas, 86-51

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — New game.

Same result. Totally different story.

Seven weeks after being slapped around by Baylor at home, the Kansas University women’s basketball team suffered another blowout loss at the hands of the Bears in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 tournament Wednesday at Municipal Auditorium.

The scores of the games were not all that different. Baylor topped KU, 86-51, on Wednesday, a four-point improvement for the Jayhawks from January’s 7637 loss at Allen Fieldhouse. But

just because the scores were similar does not mean that the effort was. In the first meeting, the Jayhawks lay down and let the Bears walk all over them. In this one, KU showed up and played hard but simply was done in by Baylor’s superior talent.

“Yeah, it’s still disappointment,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “Don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. But I felt like we competed. I watched that (first game) late last night, and it made me sick. I didn’t sleep. We had no fight, we had nothing. We just let it happen. (Today’s) Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo result was the same, but it felt difKANSAS POINT GUARD ANGEL GOODRICH (23) ferent.”

KU BASEBALL 5, NORTH DAKOTA 3

Jayhawks win despite slump

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

High-quality starting pitching carried the Kansas University baseball team in its first 11 games of the season.

Sophomore Thomas Taylor helped continue that trend in Wednesday’s 5-3 victory at home against North Dakota, striking out seven and allowing just a solo home run in 5 2⁄3 innings.

But coach Ritch Price was disappointed with how the Jayhawks fared against North Dakota’s pitching staff, which entered the game sporting a gaudy 11.65 earned-run average.

“We had some really bad atbats,” Price said.

The Jayhawks (6-6) picked up a season-high 10 hits against the Fighting Sioux (0-7), but Price still thinks his guys are trying too hard to put an end to their hitting slump.

Kansas entered the game hitting .185 and averaging just 2.7 runs per game.

“It looked like we were swinging uphill all day,” Price said.

Sophomore catcher Alex DeLeon hit a line-drive home run to left field in the fifth inning to give Kansas a 3-1 lead. DeLeon also picked up RBIs on two deep sacrifice flies.

He doesn’t think that the new, less-springy bats have much to Please see BASEBALL, page 3A

COMING FRIDAY • Complete coverage from KU men’s basketball battle vs. Oklahoma State

Baylor immediately appealed to have Jones’ eligibility reinstated.

“We are profoundly disappointed in the timing and determination in this matter,” Baylor athletic director Ian McCaw said in a release from the Jones school. “This outcome appears to be inconsistent with other recent, widely discussed NCAA decisions.”

The school’s release said Jones

had no knowledge of three, 15-day loans between his mother and AAU coach that were provided while Jones was in high school.

The loans were repaid in a timely manner, according to interviews conducted by Baylor officials and the NCAA staff.

Jones’ AAU coach also paid for the player’s travel to a professional preseason football game in San Diego before getting to Baylor, the release said.

Jones, from Duncanville, Texas, was the Bears’ highest-rated recruit ever. He could also become their first one-and-done player

Jim Tressel lied.

And nobody cares.

He proclaimed ignorance when his Ohio State superiors approached him in December regarding some of his star football players potentially violating NCAA rules. Now the coach embarrassingly concedes that he made “a mistake.”

He admits he should have notified the university when he first learned of the situation last April, but — try to keep a straight face when reading this — he didn’t know to whom he should pass the information.

Jim Tressel cheated.

And nobody cares.

He blatantly violated the language in his contract that demands — not asks, not suggests, DEMANDS — that he immediately report any suspicion of NCAA transgressions or risk dismissal. It certainly appears that Tressel’s silence was motivated more by ensuring that Tressel the Buckeyes fielded a team capable of winning the national championship last season than anything else.

Finally, there’s a loose strand on the Sweater Vest. Keep pulling at it, and it will unravel. But the NCAA doesn’t have the stomach to expose Tressel’s football evangelism for the hypocritical sham it is. If the NCAA doesn’t demand a full and thorough examination of every fiber of the Buckeyes’ program in the aftermath of Tuesday’s half-hearted mea culpa, it should forever remove the term “compliance” from its rules code.

Tressel should have been immediately fired for breaking an important clause in his contract.

But as far as Ohio State is concerned, the most important aspect of his agreement is to keep dragging Michigan up and down the field every year and participate in BCS bowls. As far as the NCAA is concerned, it’s more important keeping a megabrand such as Ohio State football standing on an ivory tower, winning big while making big money and keeping its television partners happy. That’s why the NCAA probably won’t add to Ohio State’s self-imposed sanctions of suspending Tressel for the first two games next season.

When reporters asked university president E. Gordon Gee during that comical news conference Tuesday night whether he contemplated firing the head coach, Gee smirked that he hoped Tressel wouldn’t fire him.

It was meant to be a joke, but there was nothing funny about it.

That remark told you all you need to know about the barefaced corruption and misplaced priorities of major college athletics. It’s why card-carrying cynics like me will always assume the worse. We’re rarely disappointed.

It’s why delusional, doe-eyed fans will still adoringly trust that their beloved school is immune to such transgressions.

We all know it isn’t.

Tressel has long positioned himself as a conservative, straight-laced manager.

There’s nothing flashy about him. That’s by design. He has authored motivational tomes predicated on his deep faith and commitment to conducting himself in an honorable fashion.

And we’re supposed to believe that a person of such strong convictions suddenly didn’t know which direction to turn when he received an e-mail from a lawyer notifying him of a federal criminal probe that might involve some of his players?

The man’s a fraud. But as long as he keeps winning, nobody will care.

since he is projected to be one of the top picks in the NBA Draft this summer.

McCaw indicated that no Baylor representatives were involved or aware of any preferential treatment between the AAU coach and Jones’ family, whose relationship dates to at least the sixth grade.

The AD commended Jones “for being cooperative and forthcoming during this unfortunate process.”

Baylor’s release said the issues that led to Jones’ ineligibility are not considered to be an institutional violation of NCAA rules.

Baylor rookie Jones ruled ineligible KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Baylor freshman Perry Jones was declared ineligible by the NCAA on Wednesday after an investigation about whether Jones or his family received preferential treatment or improper benefits from an AAU coach before enrolling in college.

The NCAA’s decision came only hours before the Bears played Oklahoma in their first game at the Big 12 Conference tournament, leaving them without a starter and one of the nation’s top freshmen.

The 6-foot-11 Jones averaged 13.9 points and 7.2 rebounds for Baylor.

NFL, union wrangle publicly on CBA WASHINGTON — The NFL’s willingness to reduce the amount of extra money owners want up front — from $1 billion to $800 million — isn’t enough to produce a new labor deal, the head of the players’ union said Wednesday, insisting that the league hasn’t offered to turn over enough financial data.

Both sides spoke much more openly about money matters Wednesday than they have since they entered mediation Feb. 18. With the collective bargaining agreement set to expire Friday, they clearly are far apart on how to divide more than $9 billion in annual revenues.

On his way into the 14th session at the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, NFL lead negotiator Jeff Pash said the issue of financial transparency — a key sticking point — “really should be behind us.”

“We’ve made more information available in the course of this negotiation than has ever been made available in decades of collective bargaining with the NFLPA,” Pash said. “Far more information. And we’ve offered to make even more information (available), including information that we do not disclose to our own clubs.”

NFL Falcons sign GM to extension FLOWERY BRANCH, GA. — The Atlanta Falcons signed general manager Thomas Dimitroff to a new contract, the team announced Wednesday.

Financial terms and length of the deal were not disclosed.

Early last month, the Falcons signed coach Mike Smith to a contract extension through the 2014 season.

Attorney wants Cox hearing closed DENVER — An attorney for Perrish Cox, a Denver Broncos cornerback charged with sexual assault, is asking a judge to hold a court hearing in secret because allowing the public and media to attend could taint a jury.

The Denver Post, the Associated Press and the New York Times oppose the move.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Ex-player sent Tressel e-mails COLUMBUS, OHIO — The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that a former Ohio State football player is the lawyer who sent e-mails to football coach Jim Tressel last spring telling him that players were selling memorabilia.

The newspaper, citing three unidentified sources, reports Columbus attorney Christopher Cicero sent the e-mails. Cicero lettered in football at Ohio State in 1983, when Tressel was an assistant coach, according to The Columbus Dispatch.

BASEBALL 911 call: Cabrera had verbal run-in FORT PIERCE, FLA. — Media outlets are reporting police were summoned to a Fort Pierce restaurant before Detroit Tigers star

Miguel Cabrera’s DUI arrest last month because the first baseman allegedly threatened a manager and an off-duty fish and wildlife officer.

The Florida state attorney’s office released a 911 audiotape, a police video and a 41-page report on Wednesday.

According to The Detroit Free Press, the manager and off-duty officer told police Cabrera smelled of alcohol, insinuated he had a gun in a shoulder bag and said, “I know all of you, and I will kill all of you and blow this place up.”

Cabrera walked into the restaurant around 10:15 p.m., according to the report, and was told by the manager that the restaurant was closing. After continuing inside Cabrera was convinced to leave, but then leaned near the manager’s face, said “I will kill you” and again patted his shoulder bag, the newspaper reported.

Police searching for Longoria’s car CHANDLER, ARIZ. — Police in a Phoenix suburb are searching for a stolen 1967 Camaro belonging to Tampa Bay All-Star third baseman Evan Longoria.

Longoria’s car has Florida license plates and is valued at $75,000.

The Camaro and a classic 1970 Buick belonging to someone else were stolen from a fenced yard last weekend as they awaited restoration work.

Utley hopes to avoid surgery CLEARWATER, FLA. — With second baseman Chase Utley unable to play in any spring training game due to a right knee injury, the Philadelphia Phillies are exploring non-surgical options.

The Phillies said an MRI of the five-time AllStar on Monday revealed tendinitis, bone inflammation and chondromalacia, which is pain due to irritation under the kneecap.

“We’re still doing and researching who exactly we want to get opinions from,” Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said.

Perez headed to Mets bullpen PORT ST. LUCIE, FLA. — Oliver Perez is headed to the New York Mets bullpen, likely his last chance to make the team.

The left-hander allowed his first four batters to reach base Tuesday against the Houston Astros in his final opportunity to prove he could be a starter. Overall, he gave up three runs on four hits and two walks in three innings.

Rivera throws 1st batting practice TAMPA, FLA. — Yankees closer Mariano Rivera has taken another step toward pitching in his first spring training game this year.

Rivera threw 35 pitches during his first batting practice session Wednesday. He didn’t rule out pitching on Sunday, while manager Joe Girardi said Sunday or next Wednesday would likely be the right-hander’s debut.

KANSAS JUNIOR EKATERINA MOROZOVA FIRES a return shot during a doubles match against UMKC on Wednesday at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

KU tennis rolls J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University’s tennis team recorded its first sweep of the season with a 7-0 rout of UMKC on Wednesday afternoon at the Jayhawk Tennis Center.

The Jayhawks played strong from start to finish, beginning the match with a 2for-3 performance in doubles.

Paulina Los and Victoria Khanevskaya easily downed Jessica Ball and Gabby Pintos, 8-1, to start the Jayhawks off with a win. Ekaterina Morozova and Dylan Windom then took the doubles point for KU with an 8-5 victory.

Laura Bouet and Suzan Lisenby were the only UMKC pair to earn a doubles win, taking it down to the wire, defeating Amy Barnthouse and Erin Wilbert, 9-7.

In singles play, Los extended her win streak to four with a 6-0, 6-1 defeat of Bouet.

Khanevskaya easily disposed of Jillian Yakomich, 6-3, 6-0.

Morozova followed with another easy victory over Eva Dalvai, which clinched the match for KU. After Windom downed Lisenby in the No. 4 position, Wilbert fought off Chelsea Horner in the second set of the No. 3 singles match.

In the final singles match, KU’s Barnthouse went up by one set before Ball fought back in the second. The two battled back and forth, with Ball forcing a tiebreaker. But Barnthouse never trailed in the tiebreaker, winning it 6-3, capturing the sixth-singles match with a 6-0, 7-6 (3) victory.

Kansas moved to 6-4 with the victory.

Edge?

Kansas, by a lot KANSAS CITY, MO. — There’s no Big 12 Player of the Year candidate on this year’s Oklahoma State men’s basketball team like there was last season, when James Anderson led the league in scoring.

No bulldog of a point guard who can stretch the defense and finish at the hoop, either, a la Byron Eaton two years ago.

No one on OSU’s current roster makes the eyes follow his every move on the court, to where a quick glance down at the computer screen could result in the risk of missing an oh-my moment.

LeBryan Nash, the No. 4rated, five-star Rivals.com recruit in the Class of 2011, could be that guy, but not until next season.

On Wednesday, in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament at Sprint Center, No. 9 seed Oklahoma State escaped with a 53-52 victory over No. 8 seed Nebraska.

It wasn’t Scarlett Johansson pretty. More like the Betty White of Late Night, 2010.

The Cowboys’ 53 points represented the lowest output by a winning team in a Big 12 game this season.

Before Wednesday, Nebraska held that distinction, having scored 57 points in a victory over Texas A&M on Jan. 29.

Oklahoma State (19-12, 6-10 Big 12) will need quite a bit more offensive firepower for today’s 11:30 a.m. matchup against top-seeded Kansas University (29-2, 12-4) in the quarterfinals just to keep it within snowball’s-chance-inAugust range.

Estimated chance of OSU scoring 53 points and beating the Jayhawks: 1 percent. And that’s only if somebody locks the Morris twins in the dressing room and hides the key. Kansas ranks first in the Big 12 and fifth in the country in scoring offense (82.7 points per game). Even in KU’s slopfest of a win against Texas A&M on March 2, it scored 64.

It’s not overwhelmingly difficult to stay in a game with Kansas if you possess the necessary offensive components for a shootout.

These Cowboys can’t afford to fire blanks.

Oklahoma State probably should have led Nebraska by more than the 30-21 halftime score indicated Wednesday.

After all, the Huskers shot a putrid 22.6 percent from the field in the first 20 minutes.

But the Cowboys didn’t put the Cornhuskers away because they don’t have any pure scorers.

Keiton Page: nice player, scary three-point shooter when he finds his rhythm.

Marshall Moses: fine inside presence, sound rebounder, big energy guy. JP Olukemi: capable of going for 20 on any given night, but also capable of going for five on any given night (like Wednesday). Darrell Williams: displayed potential with back-to-back doubledoubles early in league play, but then was suspended for charges of four felony counts alleging he inappropriately touched two women without their consent.

The only way Oklahoma State figures to pull an upset today is if Moses and Page combine for at least 50 points.

It’s not enough for just one of them to catch fire.

In Oklahoma State’s first matchup against KU, on Feb. 21 at Allen Fieldhouse, Moses scored 27 points. Page had only eight. Olukemi, for reference, had just one point.

The final count: Jayhawks 92, Cowboys 65.

Only a hot shooting game from the Cowboys will make today’s rematch competitive.

NEBRASKA GUARD BRANDON RICHARDSON TRIES TO STEAL THE BALL from Oklahoma State guard Keiton Page (12). The Cowboys held off the Cornhuskers, 53-52, at the Big 12 tournament on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo.

Oklahoma St. edges Huskers

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Endings like this make college basketball fun.

Oklahoma State’s 30-percent foul shooter swishes two in a row in the final seconds.

Then Keiton Page, the best free-throw shooter in the conference, misses the front end of a 1-and-1 with 16 seconds to go, giving Nebraska a chance for one more shot.

But the Cornhuskers’ Lance Jeter fell down under the bucket, and Nebraska failed to put the ball up, enabling the Cowboys (19-12) to hold on for a 53-52 victory Wednesday in the first round of the Big 12 tournament.

Page did make two key three-pointers and score 16 points to lead the Cowboys, who will meet top-seeded and No. 2 Kansas today in the second round.

“I was feeling horrible after that missed free throw,” said Page, who hit 90.2 percent from the foul line and missed only five free throws throughout the Big 12 season. “But I had confidence in my teammates that we were going to come down and get a stop.”

When Page missed, Nebraska grabbed the

rebound. But Jeter, who led the Huskers with 17 points, fell down before he could shoot.

“I pretty much got tripped, but there was no call,” Jeter said. “There shouldn’t be, especially in the last seconds.

You’ve got to make the play, and I didn’t do that.”

Page drilled three-pointers on consecutive possessions to give the Cowboys the lead after Nebraska (19-12) had overcome horrific 22.6 percent first-half shooting and taken the lead against an Oklahoma State team that was almost equally as cold.

Toney McCray and Brandon Ubel each had 11 points for Nebraska, while Marshall

Moses had 10 for Oklahoma State, which improved to 9-0 in first-round Big 12 games.

With the loss, Nebraska’s basketball program ended its tie to the Big 12, bringing a conclusion to an athletic association with some conference schools that stretched back more than a century. Next season, Nebraska joins the Big Ten. “We had a shot at the last.

They just made the play, and we didn’t,” Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said. “Toney McCray was wide-open, but Lance went in there to make the play like he did all year.

But he just didn’t make it.”

Down by as many as 11 during a miserable first half, the Huskers finally got back even at 34-all on Ubel’s bucket about six minutes into the second half.

Moses, in traffic, put the Cowboys on top 38-36, and then Ubel, a 6-foot-10 sophomore, drilled a three-pointer, and the Huskers took their first lead with 11:21 left.

Jeter hit a three-pointer and a free throw, and the Huskers led, 45-42. With 5:57 left, Jeter stole a pass and drove in. He missed a layup, but Caleb Walker was there for a putback, and the Huskers had their biggest lead at 48-44.

Page, a 30-percent threepoint shooter, then drilled back-to-back threes and put the Cowboys ahead, 50-48, with 3:52 to play. Moses, fighting for an offensive rebound, was fouled by Brandon Richardson and made one free throw to make it 51-48.

Brown’s two foul shots raised Oklahoma State’s lead to 53-50 before McCray’s uncontested dunk sliced the lead to 53-52.

“I think Jeter is the key to their team,” Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. “Every film I watched, he contributes to more than half the team’s points. On that last possession, we put Nick (Sidorakis) on him, to get some size on him. We knew he would try to create something. We wanted to switch and not give him any angles. We did a great job on him.”

Nebraska in the ragged first half made only seven of 31 shots. The Huskers missed from both short and long range, making only two of 10 from behind the three-point arc. McCray got a bucket off what appeared to be a banked dunk at the 12:37 mark, then Nebraska went almost five minutes without scoring until Jorge Brian Diaz scored on a goaltending call.

Burks, Buffaloes Oklahoma stomps Jones-less Bears knock out ISU

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — As a former player and executive in the NBA, Fred Hoiberg knows a future professional star when he sees one.

On Wednesday, the Iowa State coach saw all he wanted of Colorado’s Alec Burks.

Locked in a shootout with Iowa State’s Jake Anderson, Burks had 29 points, 15 rebounds, six assists and three steals, leading the Buffaloes to a hard-fought 77-75 f irst-round victory over Hoiberg’s Cyclones in the Big 12 tournament.

“I thought Alex Burks was a lottery pick before today,” Hoiberg said. “And nothing changed my mind he way he went out there and performed today. He’s a big-time player.”

Anderson had a career-high 33 points, the second-highest total ever scored by a college player in the Sprint Center.

“He was awful good today.

My hat goes off to that kid,” Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. “He’s been getting better and better.”

Burks scored 25 points in the second half and keyed a 12-2 run in the final minutes for the Buffaloes (20-12). In the second round today, Col-

orado will meet No. 19 Kansas State, a team it beat twice in the regular season.

“I stayed aggressive,” said Burks, a 6-foot-6 sophomore from the Kansas City area who was virtually ignored coming out of high school by Kansas, Missouri and Kansas State.

“I don’t think I played really aggressively in the first half.

I tried to come into the second half with a different mind-set.

I tried to get to the free-throw line and get some easy baskets.”

Anderson, a senior, was 13for-20 from the floor, including 3-of-5 from three-point range, but the Cyclones (1616) lost their sixth straight Big 12 tournament game.

K A N S A S C ITY , M O . — Cade Davis scored 24 points, and Oklahoma hit short-handed Baylor with an 18-2 punch early in the first half, sending the Sooners to an 84-67 victory Wednesday in the first round of the Big 12 tournament.

The Sooners also canned nine three-pointers and took advantage of the absence of standout freshman Perry Jones, who was declared ineligible by the NCAA just hours before tipoff in an unexpected move that angered Baylor coach Scott Drew.

“I hope no other institution, no other team, no other family and no other player has to go through what we did the last couple of hours,” he said.

“The Jones family are unbelievable people. Teri Jones works I don’t know how many jobs to take care of her family.

Big Perry has been there for his family. Little Perry is the type of guy you’d have marry your daughter.”

With the 6-foot-11 Jones out and leading scorer LaceDarius having a poor game, the Bears never threatened.

Jones was declared ineligible over issues regarding

whether he or his family received preferential treatment or improper benefits before he enrolled. Baylor said it would appeal.

Jones averaged 13.9 points and 7.2 rebounds and had been a forceful defensive presence.

He was obviously missed when Oklahoma went on its early run and took control.

“When we built that lead, we wanted to make sure we kept pushing it and kept trying to knock them back even more,” Davis said. “We didn’t want them to get back in the game at all and have any hope of any momentum.”

The 10th-seeded Sooners (14-17) split with Baylor in the regular season.

K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . ( AP ) — After bringing the curtain down on Pat Knight’s time as Texas Tech coach, Missouri’s Mike Anderson heaped praise on his fired colleague.

“I want to compliment Pat Knight,” Anderson said Wednesday night after Missouri held on for an 88-84 victory in the first round of the Big 12 tournament.

“What a class guy.”

Marcus Denmon scored 20 points as the Tigers fended off two second-half rallies by the Red Raiders, who knew if they lost it would be the final game for Knight and his staff.

Knight was fired Monday, effective whenever Tech was eliminated from the conference tournament. The son of Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, who coached Tech while grooming Pat for the job, finished 50-61 in three disappointing seasons.

“If anybody’s looking for a house in Lubbock, Texas, I know seven that are available,” Knight deadpanned.

Twice Missouri (23-9) had big runs and appeared to pull away. But the Red Raiders (1319) responded each time and made it close before the Tigers finally nailed down the victory to end a three-game losing streak and advance to a second-round game today against Texas A&M. John Roberson had 28 points for Texas Tech.

“We fought hard,” Roberson said. “Everyone came with a lot of intensity. We wanted to win the game for our coach.

We came up a little short.”

With Denmon and Kim English canning three-pointers, the Tigers scored the first eight points of the second half and seized a 56-44 lead that ballooned to 58-45 on a bucket by Michael Dixon, who totaled 17 points.

But Roberson followed with a 10-footer, and the Red Raiders unreeled an 18-5 run, tying it 63all on Roberson’s fourth threepointer. David Tairu, one of five seniors on Knight’s last team, drilled a three-pointer and converted a rare four-point play in the spree.

Then back came the Tigers, with Denmon and Dixon hitting three-pointers in a 15-4 spurt, taking a 78-67 lead on Steve Moore’s layup.

Mike Singletary’s bucket halted the spree for a moment, but English, fouled on consecutive trips down the court, sank four straight free throws, giving the Tigers an 82-69 lead.

Another three-pointer by Roberson ignited a 13-2 run by Tech. Brad Reese’s two free throws made it 84-82. Phil Pressey’s two foul shots put Missouri back on top 86-82 before Roberson made two free throws of his own that shrank the lead to 86-84.

The Jayhawks displayed plenty of fight early on and actually held a 7-5 lead at one point. But Baylor, behind the dominant defense of Brittney Griner and a devastating transition game, answered KU’s hot start with a 12-0 run and spent the rest of the afternoon running away from the Jayhawks. By halftime, Baylor led 43-19. With eight minutes remaining, the lead was up to 69-32 and, from there, the only thing left to determine was whether the final margin of victory would be worse than the first time these two met. It wasn’t and that’s a credit to the way the Jayhawks approached the rematch.

“We all talked about coming in the game and being aggressive,” said sophomore guard Monica Engelman, who led KU with 16 points. “I think I tried to keep up with that BAYLOR’S MELISSA JONES, RIGHT, CHASES DOWN A POSSESgoal and (those) expectaSION in front of Kansas’ Carolyn Davis.

It speaks volumes for her character and the pride she plays with for herself and her team.”

Ultimately, that was the point for Jones. She didn’t enter Wednesday’s game hoping to steal the spotlight or pull people into her sob story.

She showed up to win. Coming dangerously close to recording a triple-double despite playing with just one working eye, is the way she does that.

“That’s just an unbelievable story,” Mulkey said. “It is 10 days now that she’s not been able to see. Each little thing that happens, a change, it’s like we all start hugging each other.”

As for Kansas, Wednesday’s loss dropped the Jayhawks to 20-12 and ended their hopes of making a run to the NCAA Tournament. A likely berth in the WNIT awaits, and if the Jayhawks are included in the field — they’ll learn their fate Monday night — it will mark the fourth straight year they advanced to that postseason tournament and the fifth time in the past six seasons.

“It drives us all crazy,” Henrickson said. “But we’re going to have to get over that fast because, in the NIT, those that don’t want to play in it don’t last very long.”

OU survives Tech scare ————

K-State, A&M advance in quarterfinals The Associated Press

No. 21 Oklahoma 71, Texas Tech 69 KANSAS CITY, MO. — Danielle Robinson scored 19 points, and Carlee Roethlisberger added 18 to lead No. 21 Oklahoma to a 71-69 victory over Texas Tech in the Big 12 tournament on Wednesday night.

The Sooners (21-10) advanced to face Texas A&M in Friday’s semifinals.

Casey Morris hit a threepointer to pull the Lady Raiders (22-10) within two with 47.4 seconds left. Oklahoma could have sealed the game when Aaryn Ellenberg came up with a steal, but she missed an open layup.

Texas Tech called timeout with nine seconds left and put the ball in Chynna Brown’s hands for a drive, but she lost the ball on her way to the basket, and Oklahoma held on.

Monique Smalls led the Lady Raiders with 15 points.

Kansas State 56, Iowa State 53 KANSAS CITY, MO. — Brittany Chambers scored 20 points, and Jalana Childs added 14 to lead fourth-seeded Kansas State to a victory over Iowa State, sending the Wildcats to the Big 12 women’s tournament semifinals against topseeded Baylor.

Kansas State (21-9) was up by 13 when Hallie Christofferson hit back-to-back 3-pointers with 5:24 remaining. The Cyclones (22-10) closed within three before Chassidy Cole and Kelsey Bolte missed three-pointers in the final 18 seconds.

Christofferson led the Cyclones with 18 points.

The Wildcats took a 30-25 halftime lead thanks largely to a strong start from Childs, who contributed 10 points before the break. Chambers, an All-Big 12 selection, had nine, and Branshea Brown scored seven.

Iowa State stayed close throughout the half as Christofferson came off the bench to score six points. The Cyclones got a 12-rebound performance from Chelsea Poppens.

No. 8 Texas A&M 77, Texas 50 KANSAS CITY , M O. — Texas A&M put the pressure on, and Texas couldn’t hold on to the ball.

Danielle Adams scored 23 points, and Sydney Colson and Tyra White each added 14 as Texas A&M cruised past turnover-prone Texas to advance to the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament.

Texas committed 31 turnovers, one shy of the tournament record, and was held to its lowest points total of the season.

“That was the best defensive game we’ve played in a long time,” Aggies coach Gary Blair said.

The Aggies (27-4) defeated Texas (19-13) for the third time this season and have an 11game win streak over the Longhorns overall.

“I think we just let them get in our heads tonight,” Texas guard Yvonne Anderson said.

“We didn’t execute the way we wanted.”

The Aggies seem to have been re-energized following a loss at Kansas State on March 2. Texas A&M followed with an 84-49 win over Nebraska on Senior Night before blowing out the Longhorns.

“It had been coming for a while,” Colson said of the Kansas State loss. “We weren’t coming out with the intensity we had shown earlier in the season. It woke us up in a sense. It helped us get our minds on what matters. We need to come out and play hard every game.”

Texas coach Gail Goestenkors was at a loss to explain how her team could commit 31 turnovers, resulting in 37 Texas A&M points.

The Aggies had an 18-0 edge in fast-break points.

“I don’t know when I’ve ever had a team with 31 turnovers,” Goestenkors said.

“Their defensive pressure is the best I’ve seen all year.”

Chelsea Bass came off the bench to lead Texas with 11 points. The Aggies shut down Chassidy Fussell (1 of 9) and Kathleen Nash (3 of 10).

“That is the key,” Blair said.

“Fussell’s a very, very good player.”

Texas A&M’s stifling perimeter pressure proved more than Texas, which beat Missouri in the previous round, could handle in a first half dominated by the Aggies.

Texas A&M scored 23 points off 17 turnovers over the first 20 minutes and never let the Longhorns guards get comfortable.

The Aggies had 11 steals in the first half, with Sydney Carter and Colson getting three apiece. With the transition points coming in abundance, Texas A&M shot 53.3 percent in the first half and sprinted to a 41-24 lead.

Adams and White, both from Kansas City, had typically strong efforts in their homecoming. Colson also helped set the tone early with 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the first half.

“The NCAA Tournament ... this doesn’t compare to that.

Still, it is our league and our conference championship.

Anytime you lace ’em up, you want to try to be the best. Any time you play, you might as well play to win.

“We are playing in Kansas City against our rivals that would like nothing more to beat us to enhance their situation. The biggest thing, going into the NCAA Tournament, we’d like to get a little bit better, play against quality competition and certainly have to grind out some games. I think that would be the best thing for us.”

Self emphasized one of the best things about this tourney is it ends on Saturday. Prior to last season, the tourney ended on a Sunday, way too close to the beginning of the Big Dance.

because I think Kansas is the best team in America,” Moses said after scoring 10 points and grabbing five rebounds against Nebraska on Wednesday.

“I think we have legit shot if we play as a team and we do our best to contain the Morris twins and (Brady) Morningstar and the guys they’ve got from the three-point I was joking with arc. They’ve got an excelsome of my lent point teammates guard and great depth after we on the played bench. If we them. That come ready to play and team play as a probably team, we’ll could play have a shot.” somewhere The Jayin the NBA hawks resembled and the Lakers in compete.” sinking 10 of 23 threes in f irst — Oklahoma State the meeting vs. forward Marshall OSU. KU Moses led, 52-28, at halftime and never looked back.

“I was joking with some of my teammates after we played them. That team probably could play somewhere in the NBA and compete,” Moses said. “We knew they were that good. We’re going to know (today). So the question is, are we going to bring the effort to try to make those guys miss shots, to get out there and contest on the ball, box out, rebound, fronting, three-quartering the post and do our best job and give our best effort?”

Marcus and Markieff Morris combined for 32 points and 12 boards versus the Cowboys.

“Marcus Morris is personally my favorite player to watch when we’re not playing them. Him and (Colorado’s) Alec Burks,” Moses said.

“They’re never really scared any nights. They don’t really take any nights off. Rebound the ball excellently, versatile player ... I think he (Morris) reminds me a lot of me,” Moses added, laughing. “He’s a cool guy, too. Playing against him, he’s not really a big trashtalker. A nice guy, him and Markieff. So I kind of like them.”

There appeared to be some trash-talking between the Morris twins and OSU’s Moses and Matt Pilgrim (four points, four boards) in Lawrence.

“You know when we’re playing basketball, especially against teams like that, you kind of get into bickering with guys back and forth.

It’s all love. It’s all in basketball. After the game, we shake hands and let it go,” Moses said. “We’re going to have to come up with some different lines or something, because it didn’t work last time.”

“No matter what, you are (now) off Sunday. Everybody will take Sunday off,” Self said.

“You’ve got time to get scouting report (on first NCAA foe) and all that stuff done, so it doesn’t affect next week’s preparation.

“If you play Sunday and turn around and have to leave Tuesday (for a Thursday NCAA game), I’d say, yes, that could be a negative. The way the league is shaped, it’s not a negative any longer.”

Self said his team enters the 2011 Big 12 postseason event focused on winning the crown — not losing early, resting up and getting reenergized for the NCAAs. “If you are going to play, you might as well do everything you can to win,” said Self. “When I was at Illinois, we lost in the second round, which was on a Saturday back then. That helped our team rather than playing on a Sunday. But in this situation, it’s our goal to go win the tournament, like it is every other team’s goal, too.”

KU junior Marcus Morris said the Jayhawks wouldn’t overlook anybody, but insisted it’d be nice to have rematches against the teams that beat KU in a 29-2 regular season.

“

— Kansas University junior forward Marcus Morris “If we win our first game and K-State wins, we’d get that rematch,” Morris said.

“If we win that game, I’m hoping Texas wins so we get that rematch. Definitely if we get Texas, I think it’d be one of the best games we play all year because we’d be so ready to play after what happened the first game this season (74-63 loss in Allen).

“K-State the same way,” he added of KU’s 84-68 loss in Manhattan. “I felt we overlooked those guys, and they are getting better.”

As far as the strength of the Big 12 this year, many pundits figure six squads will receive NCAA bids compared to seven of a year ago.

“That’s just how we play.

We play aggressive. They responded to it. We're going to play the same way we did last time,” said Pilgrim, who had four points and four boards against KU. “If they respond to it, there’s nothing we can do. But I plan on attacking the same way we did last time.”

Of today’s meeting, Pilgrim said: “This is another opportunity to make a name for ourselves. It’s the end of the season, but there’s always time to step up.”

The Jayhawks, of course, have to be aware of sharpshooter Page, a 5-9 junior from Pawnee, Okla., who missed nine of 11 shots and had eight points in 38 minutes in Allen.

He scored 16 points off 6-of13 shooting, including four of eight from three versus Nebraska.

“He was just a little more physical and tried to play on top of ball screens a little bit more,” Page said. “He’s a good defender, good athlete, has good length. He did a good job down in Lawrence. Personally, I think I’ve been struggling all season to get my shots to fall down. But yeah, he did a great job of playing defense on me that game.”

Page noted that today’s game presents “a huge opportunity for us. Our backs are against the walls. We’re just striving to play another day. I think our guys are understanding that and knowing that it takes every single one of us out there to go out and give a team effort and just play as hard as we can for 40 minutes.”

The winner of today’s game will meet either Kansas State or Colorado at 6 p.m. Friday in Sprint Center.

Yes. “Are there are other teams that can make great runs in the tournament and have a chance to play the second and third weekend (in NCAAs)? Yes, there are.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

NEW YORK (AP ) — Charles Barkley’s analysis after a firstround blowout in the NCAA Tournament: “Duke graduates their players, but that team they did has not graduated a player in like seven years.”

Never one for understatement, Barkley was in fact exaggerating Tuesday when he imagined that scene. But not by much. The brash Hall of Famer plans to lobby for better graduation rates in his new job as a college basketball commentator.

CBS and Turner Sports’ new 14-year, $10.8 billion deal to televise the NCAA Tournament adds announcers from the NBA broadcasts on TNT to March Madness. And Barkley is mad about how few Div. I players, especially African-American men, earn degrees.

“They got $10.8 billion.

That’s a lot of freakin’ money,” Barkley told the Associated Press. “The players aren’t getting any of it, so clearly somebody is making money. I’m not opposed to people making money, but we do have an obligation, to, like, ‘OK, you know what? We’re making a (ton) of money. Let’s at least make sure these kids get educated.”’

When Turner Sports chief David Levy asked him about joining the college studio show, Barkley said he wouldn’t take part if he couldn’t get academic. He met with NCAA President Mark Emmert in Atlanta in January, which convinced him players shouldn’t be paid because it wasn’t fair to give athletes in some sports money but not others.

“He understands what this is all about,” NCAA vice president Greg Shaheen said. “His comments are representative of the many issues in the environment of basketball we’re all trying to address. ... It’s a great opportunity for him to comment on those topics.”

Barkley does believe, unlike the NCAA, that college players should be able to get loans from agents. He was surprised

The NCAA’s new deal with CBS and Turner Sports will give Barkley an opportunity to analyze college games this postseason. to learn that black athletes have higher graduation rates than black students as a whole, which left him even more dismayed.

According to the latest NCAA statistics, the graduation success rate for black Div. I men’s basketball players was 58 percent. Barkley would like to see it be 70 percent — he figures there are three “boneheads” for every 10 kids.

“We can’t expect these kids to go out and be good fathers and take care of their families if they’re uneducated,” Barkley said. “There is personal responsibility. But you’ve got to help these kids because, first of all, all these kids think they’re going to play on the next level.”

He’s thought about writing a book tracking down all the guys he played with in high school, college and the pros.

When Barkley reached the NBA, he realized just how few of his contemporaries made it. He heard stories that some were homeless.

Barkley thinks it’d be a fascinating book, but worries it may seem as though he’s taking advantage of them. For now, he can send the message of why earning a degree is so vital.

“I’ve been on the sidelines, but now I’m actually in the fight,” Barkley said. “I see how it works now. You can’t make a difference unless you talk about it. Now I’m going to keep banging the drums.”

National Bracket Day looms J-W Staff Reports

Turner Sports and the NCAA have branded Monday the first “National Bracket Day” and will flood the streets of big cities and key college campuses, including Kansas University, with bracket sheets, urging fans to fill them out.

The tournament has expanded from 65 to 68 teams this year, and instead of one “play-in” game, there are four.

But those four games no longer are being called “play-

in” games, rather, “first-round games.” Two will be played Tuesday night and two Wednesday night, with starting times of 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Central both nights. The games, all played in Dayton, Ohio, will be televised on truTV. The four winners of those games join the 60 teams that weren’t required to play the extra round.

This is the first of a 14-year agreement the NCAA has with Turner Sports and CBS Sports in which every game

will be made available in its entirety across four TV networks: CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV. “Creating a day where fans can debate the fate of their teams as they complete their brackets and celebrate the 68 schools and student-athletes who made it into the tournament is a great way to kick off March Madness,” said Greg Shaheen, the NCAA’s interim executive vice president for championships and alliances, of declaring a “National Bracket Day.”

NCAA selection committee ready to do the dirty work INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — NCAA selection committee chairman Gene Smith hopes he’s seen the last of this week’s complications.

The Ohio State athletic director is already dealing with a scandal in his own football program and a delayed arrival in Indianapolis. Two committee members are also dealing with what Smith calls “significant” personal issues he didn’t specify, and Wednesday’s news conference had technical difficulties.

And Smith’s committee hasn’t even gotten to the hard part yet — selecting the first 68-team field in NCAA Tournament history.

“This committee is very close, very cohesive and we’re supported very well by the NCAA staff,” Smith said. “I’m ready to roll.”

This will not be just another typical selection weekend for Smith and the other nine committee members.

They’ll spend the next five days holed up in an Indianapolis hotel trying to find

the 37 best at-large teams — three more than previous years — and then seed all 68 properly.

Nobody’s perfect, and it’s never easy, but this year’s selection process could be more challenging and face more scrutiny.

Why? The new format has created added some different debates to the regular mix of who is in and who is out.

Some believe the Big East should get a record 11 bids, raising concerns about whether the expanded field has simply become a way to get more teams from the six power conferences into the field.

Plus, Smith’s committee will likely face criticism about which teams play in next week’s four opening-round games in Dayton, Ohio. Two games will feature the bottom four seeds in the tourney while the other two will feature the last four at-large teams.

The NCAA has dubbed this

group the First Four, though those eight team probably will not feel the same way. Smith has already prepared some answers.

“We will go through one through 68 and we’re very confident that the 35th, 36th, 37th slots that the at-large teams going to Dayton will be excited to go,” he said. “Every single year we evaluate what we did the previous year. Anything that we feel we need to modify based on that experience we’ll modify.”

Smith is getting pretty good at adapting on the fly.

On Tuesday night, he attended a hastily called news conference to announce Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel had been suspended for two games and fined $250,000 for violating NCAA rules. Tressel, school officials said, waited more than nine months before notifying school compliance officials about his players’ involvement in selling signed memorabilia in exchange for money and tattoos.

Knicks 110, Grizzlies 108 MEMPHIS, TENN. — Carmelo Anthony made a 19-footer with less than a second left as the New York Knicks withstood a late Memphis rally and beat the Grizzlies on Wednesday night.

The winning shot by Anthony, who finished with 31 points, came over Tony Allen after Zach Randolph’s three-point play with 14 seconds remaining pulled Memphis even at 108.

Memphis had one more chance after Anthony’s basket, but an alley-oop attempt to Darrell Arthur was broken up at the basket, giving the Knicks their third straight win and strengthening their hold on the sixth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Arthur scored 21 points.

White was a star quarterback at West Virginia, a dual threat as a passer and runner. The Dolphins drafted him in the second round in 2009 and he played in 13 games.

The Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees had previously drafted White. four hits, walked four and struck out four in 22⁄3 innings.

“He didn’t have his command early, but what I saw of him, the last 10 hitters (after Cabrera’s triple), that’s what I expect of him when we open the season,” Cubs manager Mike Quade said. “I thought he threw extremely well after that.”

SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) — Former NFL player Pat White has told the Kansas City Royals that he is retiring from baseball.

The 26-year-old White signed a minor-league contract with the Royals after being released by the Miami Dolphins last September.

Kansas City then sent the outfielder to the Fall Instructional League.

Chen said. “I’m competitive, and I know that nothing will be given to me.”

Two of the hits off Chen were by Marlon Byrd, including a solo home run in the third inning.

Byrd continued his solid spring with his sixth multihit effort in eight games. He is now 13 for 20.

“I was able to throw all of my pitches and tried to work out of some jams,” Chen said.

“I came out of the (pregame) bullpen and I felt weird. I was flying open. I tried to make some adjustments and by the third inning, I felt I was throwing better.”

Notes: Alex Gordon had three hits, two RBIs and a stolen base for the Royals. ...

Brett Carroll scored three runs, but had no official atbats. The first run was as a pinch-runner, the second two after he remained in the game as a DH and was hit by pitches twice.

Ex-NFL player White quits baseball

Meanwhile, Chen gave up two runs and three hits, walked three and struck out four in four innings for Kansas City. Chen thought he was going to pitch only three innings, but was given an extra inning by manager Ned Yost because of a low pitch count.

After missing the entire 2008 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Chen split time between Triple-A Omaha and Kansas City in 2009 and began last season in Omaha. He joined the Royals’ rotation on May 30 and went on to lead the team in victories, going 12-7 in 23 starts.

He was re-signed as a major-league free agent on Jan. 19 and came into camp raring to go. The 33-year-old left-hander made his second start of the spring and third appearance overall.

M E S A , A R I Z . (AP ) — Bruce Chen is happy Melky Cabrera is getting big hits for his team these days instead of against him.

Cabrera had a bases-loaded triple in a five-run first inning to back Chen as the Kansas City Royals coasted to a 13-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday.

“He is looking really good,” Chen said of Cabrera. “It was good that we were able to get him.”

Cabrera signed with the Royals as a free agent on Dec. 16 and is hitting .500 (10 for 20) with six RBIs this spring.

He also had a double to lead off the fifth and scored on a double by Alex Gordon, who had three hits.

Chen recalled the day a few years ago when he was with the Baltimore Orioles and faced Cabrera, then with the New York Yankees.

“I threw a 0-2 curveball, and he hit it for a single,” Chen

K I S S I M M E E , F LA . — Atlanta Braves minor-league manager Luis Salazar was awake and able to respond to doctors Wednesday after being hit in the face by Brian McCann’s foul liner while standing in the dugout during an exhibition game.

Salazar may have sustained a concussion and might have a facial fracture and damage around his left eye, Braves general manager Frank Wren said.

Salazar was airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center and was to stay overnight.

Wren did not have an official hospital report.

“We are just blessed that Luis is alive,” Wren said after St. Louis beat Atlanta 6-1.

“The scans so far have been positive.”

Wren said Salazar was unconscious when an ambulance drove onto the field in the first inning to help the 54year-old former big leaguer.

Wren said Salazar was hit around the nose, toward his left eye.

Kansas 7th in cuts to mental programs

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Kansas ranks seventh in the nation when it comes to cutting state funding for mental health programs.

Its spending went from $115 million in 2009 to $97 million in 2011, a 16 percent decrease.

ment late Wednesday afternoon.

“Steve Six has distinguished himself as a first-rate jurist with unflagging integrity and evenhandedness,” President Obama said in a statement. “I’m grateful for his service to the state of Kansas and look forward to adding his considerable wisdom

and experience to the Tenth Circuit Court.”

Six would fill a spot on the court of appeals left open by the retirement of Lawrence resident Deanell Tacha.

Six, a Democrat, will have to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Six served as Kansas Attorney from 2008 until January, after

losing his bid for election. Prior to being appointed to fill the unexpired term as attorney general, Six was a Douglas County District Court judge from 2005 to 2008. Since January, he has worked as a partner at the Lawrence law firm of Stevens & Brand.

Oshel died at age 88 in November, but his presence will continue to be felt at the school. One of his last wishes was that his military flag be donated to the school, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary and is also on the list for potential consolidation with New York School in the next three to five years.

Wednesday afternoon, his family carried out that wish.

“This is kind of our way of saying, ‘OK, Dad, everything’s OK,’” said his daughter, Linda Miller.

Five generations of Oshel’s family presented the flag to Kennedy’s library. His wife, Grace, was present, all the way to his great-great-granddaughter, Ava Nelson.

Miller said it meant a lot to be able to carry out her father’s wish, which he expressed once he started getting sick.

“That was the f irst thing he requested,” she said. “His life was here.”

Oshel earned his flag serving in the U.S. Army during World War II. Miller said he was stationed in Italy and Germany, but being at the school was his dream job.

He had to drop out of school during the Great

“I’d never seen my dad happier,” Miller said.

Cris Anderson, principal of Kennedy, knew Oshel from another building and said the flag added a valuable histori-

cal dimension to the school.

“Everybody leaves a thumbprint in life,” she sa i d . “ M r. O s h e l l e f t his.”

Anderson said it was obvious how much Oshel loved the kids he was around, and his family

was aware of that joy.

“Mr. Oshel’s children are remembering his commitment to his job,” she said. “His family knew how much his job meant to him.”

Lawrence police detectives Wednesday arrested a couple wanted in Tennessee for the 2009 death of their young daughter, prosecutors and police said.

According to Douglas County Jail records, officers arrested Ryan Lee Robert Davis, 34, and Larissa Renee Davis, 23, around midnight on warrants out of Sullivan County in Tennessee.

Julie Canter, a Sullivan County Ryan Davis assistant district attorney, said a Tennessee grand jury indicted them both Tuesday on charges of firstdegree murder, aggravated Larissa Davis child abuse and aggravated child neglect.

Canter said the two are accused in connection with the death of their daughter, Izabel Davis, who was less than 1 year old and died at a Tennessee hospital Nov. 6, 2009. Sullivan County Sheriff ’s officers had been investigating the girl’s death for more than a year.

“The investigation was ongoing, and the charges were not brought until yesterday,” Canter said.

She said prosecutors could not provide additional details about the case.

Census numbers reveal more detailed picture of Lawrence

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

There are a lot more empty houses and apartments in Lawrence than there used to be — but still a lot fewer than there are in many other Kansas towns.

Hispanics and Asians make up a bigger part of Lawrence than they used to, but blacks do not.

And children under age 18 aren’t quite as prominent in Lawrence as they were a decade ago.

That’s a glimpse of Lawrence as seen through the first round of data from the 2010 U.S. Census, which was released last week. The num-

bers — which included muchwatched population totals — also provided basic information about race, age and housing totals. Even more detailed information will be released in coming months, but for now, here’s a look at what the Census says about Lawrence:

Lawrence’s Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, which serves 5,600 Douglas County residents annually, has lost more than $1.1 million during the past several years.

In state fiscal year 2010, Bert Nash lost $565,000, which resulted in cutting a program that helps people transition from a hospital into the community. It also cut

funding for a housing assistance program.

Over the years, it has reduced community outreach and staff.

Gov. Sam Brownback has proposed cutting $15 million in funding to community mental health centers in 2012. Johnson estimates that will cost Bert Nash another $372,000.

“Cutting mental health is penny-wise and pound-foolish,” Cagan said. “Costs get shifted to emergency rooms, schools, police, local courts, jails and prisons. The taxpayer still gets the bill and it often costs more.”

Students in coalition discuss ways to better address teen issues

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

There’s a conversation taking place concerning important issues for Lawrence’s teens. And teens are the ones having it.

More than a dozen area students comprising the Wake-Up Coalition gathered Wednesday at Lawrence Arts Center to talk about what they say should be talked about more effectively: teen pregnancy, teen suicide and sex education.

“The kids identified these as the central issues they

thought were most important,” coordinator and teacher Shannon Draper said. “School counselors are overworked, so the kids thought, ‘Why don’t we do this ourselves?’ Which is amazing to have kids so interested.”

The coalition, created with the help of a $10,000 renewable grant, has partnered with the GaDuGi SafeCenter and the arts center to create a peer-to-peer counseling and mentoring program for area junior high and high schools.

Sarna said the Douglas County Sheriff’s office assisted police in helping them locate the couple. Sarna also said the suspects have ties to the Lawrence area and were not believed to be running from authorities.

Sullivan County Sheriff ’s officials contacted the Douglas County Sheriff’s office in February 2010 and asked for assistance in locating Ryan and Larissa Davis, said Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman.

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said the couple likely won’t appear before a judge in district court here until this afternoon.

In Douglas County District Court, the couple would have to choose whether to contest or waive their extradition to Tennessee to begin the legal process there.

Ash Wednesday marks beginning of Lent 1 | WISCONSIN

GOP cuts collective bargaining The Wisconsin Senate succeeded in voting Wednesday to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public workers, after Republicans outmaneuvered the chamber’s missing Democrats and approved an explosive proposal that has rocked the state and unions nationwide.

“You are cowards!” spectators in the Senate gallery screamed as lawmakers voted. Within hours, a crowd of a few hundred protesters inside the Capitol had grown to several thousand, more than had been in the building at any point during weeks of protests.

“The whole world is watching!” they shouted as they pressed up against the heavily guarded entrance to the Senate chamber.

All 14 Senate Democrats fled to Illinois nearly three weeks ago, preventing the chamber from having enough members present to consider Gov. Scott Walker’s “budget-repair bill” — a proposal introduced to plug a $137 million budget shortfall.

The Senate requires a quorum to take up any measures that spends money. But Republicans on Wednesday took all the spending measures out of the legislation and a special committee of lawmakers from both the Senate and Assembly approved the revised bill a short time later.

2 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Senate rejects rival budgets The Democratic-led Senate on Wednesday emphatically rejected a budget-slashing House spending bill as too draconian. It then immediately killed a rival Democratic plan that was derided by moderate Democrats as too timid in its drive to cut day-to-day agency budgets.

The votes to scuttle the competing measures were designed, ironically, to prompt progress. The idea was to show tea party-backed GOP conservatives in the House that they need to pare back their budget-cutting ambitions while at the same time demonstrating to Democratic liberals that they need to budge, too.

White House budget director Jacob Lew said the votes should turn a page and that talks between the administration and Republicans are likely to become more productive. The negotiators are unlikely to meet a March 18 deadline, which means another stopgap budget extension would be required to keep the government from shutting down.

teammates. Of course, the organizers will be shaving their heads, too.

“We are doing what we can,” he said. “It’s a fun event.”

To learn more or participate, visit stbaldricks.org /events/ Lawrence or contact LaFarge by e-mail at trevor.lafarge@washburn.edu or 303-241-9970.

Or simply stop by during the event and donate to the cause.

Lawrence’s efforts to become a destination for retirees are becoming more visible by the day. Don’t believe it? Just drive by the Sixth Street and Folks Road intersection.

The big development under construction at the intersection is an independent living facility for people 55 and over. A representative with the company said an opening is expected in September.

Dubbed Meadowlark Estates, the facility will have 124 living units. But the unique part of the project is that none of the apartments will have a kitchen.

Instead, the facility will have a full-scale commercial kitchen and dining room that will serve three meals per day. It also will have a bistro-style café that will offer food during off hours. Meal costs, utilities — basically everything but the phone bill — is included in one monthly rate.

The apartments, which will include a kitchenette with a refrigerator and sink, will be a mix of 30 studio units, 76 one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom units.

The project is selling a lowmaintenance style of living.

“It is independent living,” said Sam Behler, a spokesman for the project and an executive with the project’s general contractor, Colson & Colson. “Residents come and go as they please. It is a month-to-month rent, and residents aren’t pinned down to any type of particular activity or regime. It is really freestyle living.”

The residence will provide transportation options for residents who no longer want to drive, and there will be several on-site amenities including a theater, a beauty salon, workout gym, a chapel and a large activity room.

Hawthorn Retirement Group, a Vancouver, Wash.-based company, will operate the facility.

The company has about 35 senior living facilities in the U.S., Canada and Europe, but this will be the company’s only facility in Kansas.

The Lawrence facility is about a $10 million construction project and was the largest construction permit pulled in 2010 in Lawrence.

The Dusty Bookshelf opened in Manhattan in 1985.

The Lawrence location opened in 1996.

The store’s often so stocked — it claims to offer more than 70,000 titles of books exclusively from the community — that rows of books are continued from shelves to lines on the floor.

Local, national and global acts have made a point to visit Liberty. The stage is spacious and the seating areas provides the perfect opportunity to take in the unique atmosphere. And when no live acts are performing, the place doubles as a movie theater.

The venue managers are quick to point out that promoters played a big part in the venue’s success. In the

Moran will meet with faculty, students and staff at a public forum at 2 p.m. today in 203 KANSAS Green Hall.

UNIVERSITY She has taught at Vanderbilt since 2001 and in that time has served as the chairwoman of the school’s faculty-staff campaign, which successfully met its goal of $1 million.

STANLEY THE CAT keeps customers happy at at Sunflower Outdoor and Bike Shop, 804 Mass.

Owner/Proprietors: Dan and Karla Hughes Opened: 1972

Stanley is a lion among men.

The tan longhair male cat, who is shaved in a fashion that makes him look more like a miniature Simba than house cat, beat out other beloved felines, including Alice of The Dusty Bookshelf and Love Garden Sounds’ three cats, for our top store cat prize.

Stanley has been roaming the sporting goods store for nearly a decade after being adopted from the Lawrence Humane Society. His favorite spots are on the counter or in a tent he has set up in the display window.

His calm demeanor and formerly rough life — he has missing teeth and BBs in his body from his time before Sunflower — have earned him a devoted following. He’s got his own Facebook page and customers can purchase goods covered with his likeness.

Honorable mentions: Highly contested. ● Dusty Bookshelf, 708 Mass. ● Love Garden Sounds, 822 Mass. ● The Toy Store, 936 Mass.

Best Place to Dance: Eighth Street Taproom Over the last few years the Eighth Street Taproom, 801 N.H., has become one of the best dance spots in Lawrence, due in no small part to the bar’s affinity for booking unique local acts. In a single week, a postpunk DJ, snuff jazz, funk and soul records, and good old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll can all be consumed in the Taproom’s basement.

If you need a breather, head upstairs for a game of pool or grab a drink at one of its two bars.

Variety is indeed the spice of life and in this case, it helped the Taproom stand apart. Lawrence likes to party, this much we knew going into this contest.

Billed as the home of the ginger smash, the Taproom also boasts a reputable selection of mixed drinks and has both cheap and high-end beers on hand.

Be sure to stake out a spot as the dance floor can get packed early.

Co-defendant testifies in first-degree murder trial

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A co-defendant of the man on trial for the 2006 killing of a Lawrence hip-hop artist on Wednesday drew a diagram of his version of the shooting death of Anthony “Clacc” Vital, 28.

Major C. Edwards Jr., 31, said Vital then got out of the front passenger seat and ran in front of the car, where he was met by Durrell Jones, 26, who had gotten out of the backseat, circled the car and met Vital where he shot him three times Oct. 14, 2006, in a rural driveway off U.S. Highway 24 about 2 miles west of Lawrence.

Vital’s body was found the next morning by a rural landowner. Edwards, who has already pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the

case, has said that he picked up Vital that night because Jones, from Kansas City, Kan., wanted to collect a Patterson debt on Vital after supplying him with PCP. Edwards said in the car Jones pulled out the gun and directed Edwards to keep driving until he got his money from Vital. Edwards later stopped the car outside of Lawrence.

Edwards said he was afraid Jones would then shoot him, so once they drove back to a Lawrence to return to a party at Felicia Patterson’s apartment on Sixth Street, he left town.

But defense attorney John Kerns has accused Edwards

of admitting to shooting Vital and writing rap lyrics about it later.

Edwards has denied writing the lyrics. Kerns has also said Edwards is trying to pin the murder on Jones. Prosecutors have agreed to take four years off of his sentence in exchange for his testimony.

Prosecutors have told jurors that they can tie Jones to the murder weapon and that items left near Vital’s body included DNA evidence from both Edwards and Jones.

Other witnesses Wednesday included people who saw Jones and Edwards the night of Vital’s death, including Patterson.

Prosecutors will continue presenting witnesses at 9 a.m. today.

Best Place to Watch a Game: Johnny’s Tavern Big TVs, a great list of drinks and famously good burgers make Johnny’s Tavern the place to watch a big Kansas University basketball game in Lawrence.

Johnny’s Tavern opened in 1953 in North Lawrence and has since expanded into the Kansas City market and out west to its second Lawrence location, on Wakarusa. In 1978, friends and Johnny’s lovers Rick Renfro and Doug Hassig bought the business and added a grill, meaning Johnny’s famous burgers were born.

Each of the six locations is a bit different, but what is definitely consistent is that the

tell from the rise and fall of the patrons voices just how the game is going — a peek at the score is unneeded.

These days, bar-goers have more than burgers to enjoy, with Johnny’s adding an expanded menu along with its newer locations. Visitors can cheer on the Jayhawks while dining on fare such as salads, wraps and pizza.

And without Free State Brewery’s bar, a lot of things for Lawrence beer lovers would not go so well. With its fabulous selection of maderight-there brews, expansive menu and proximity to big flat-screen TVs, Free State Brewery is the bar to go to in town. A long list of regulars will attest to that.

Fitting too, that the when Free State opened in 1989, it was the first legal brewery in Kansas in more than 100 years. The brewery currently has 10 locally made beers on tap, giving bar patrons a hefty homemade selection.

Brandon Holmes, delivery driver, Lawrence “For a reason, yeah. If it was worth it, then yeah.”

Esther Park, biology major, Lawrence “Probably not.”

BRIEFLY Man in car chase given felony charge Lawrence police used spike strips to help apprehend a Lawrence man who led officers in a pursuit near downtown just after 3 a.m. Wednesday.

Douglas County prosecutors filed a felony charge of attempting to elude officers plus four misdemeanor charges, Masquas including DUI and battery of a law enforcement officer against Ryan W. Masquas, 21.

Sgt. Damon Thomas said officers responded to a disturbance at Haskell Indian Nations University about 3 a.m. When officers arrived, a male driver fled in a car.

Officers chased the car down Massachusetts Street, in the area of the Kansas University campus and through Oread neighborhood before deploying spike strips, Thomas said.

After hitting the spike strips, the car went into West Hills apartment complex in the 1000 block of Emery Road where the driver fled the vehicle. Officers apprehended Masquas after a short foot chase.

Thomas said no one was injured during the chase. A judge Wednesday set Masquas’ bond at $4,000 cash or surety and scheduled a hearing for March 16.

Phelps ruling disappointing but right

EDITORIALS

Only the best Is Kansas University attracting the best possible candidates for some key administrative positions?

V

arious groups or individuals at Kansas University currently are engaged in search and recruitment efforts to find new deans for the schools of business and law and a new vice chancellor, who will be in charge of public information and lobbying efforts for the university.

All three positions are important, and the level of skill, vision and expectation displayed by those on the search committees, as well as those who make the final selections, says a great deal about how good a school KU can become.

Are the goals of the search committees to seek and hire “best in field” candidates, or are they settling for mediocre, run-of-the-mill, easy-to-hire — and perhaps less expensive — individuals?

What instructions have been given to the head hunters if, indeed, such firms are being used to come up with the names of possible candidates? Are there salary limitations? It would be interesting to know why some superior candidates may have said they were not interested in a KU position.

This information should be shared with members of the Kansas Board of Regents since they are supposed to be overseeing the university and should know whether there are matters that hinder or handicap the university’s ability to attract the best possible deans.

Openings in deans’ offices do not occur very often and, when they do, it offers an opportunity to upgrade the position. If KU officials and alumni and friends of the university are genuine in their often-expressed desire to make KU one of the country’s finest state-aided universities, the excellence of deans and other administrators plays a critical role.

Superior deans help attract top-flight faculty and researchers and they, in turn, play a major role in attracting outstanding undergraduate and graduate students.

If a search doesn’t identify a pool of three truly outstanding candidates for each of the dean positions and the vice chancellor slot, it’s better to start over with a more effective search rather than settle for second best, or worse, third best.

The type of individuals selected will send a clear signal to the public, as well as to current faculty members. Just how serious is the university about building the schools’ academic and research excellence?

It is not easy being America.

Maybe that’s why America often finds it hard to do.

Being America requires more than simply existing between certain geographic lines. Rather, it requires vindicating a set of ideals that are downright dangerous.

This would include the notion that all men and women are created equal and have from birth the right to live, be free and pursue personal happiness. Also that they enjoy freedom of — and from — religion, freedom to assemble, freedom from random search and seizure. And, most dangerous of all, that they possess the absolute freedom to speak their minds.

What makes those promises dangerous is that they entrust people — not the smart people, not the good people, not the right people, but the people — with power. Enough to challenge authority, make trouble, thwart police — even enough to restrain government itself.

So yes, sometimes America finds it hard to be America. History is dotted with the big failures: the Alien and Sedition Acts, slavery, the Trail of Tears, Plessy v. Ferguson, the Japanese internment, the Red Scare, COINTELPRO. Arguably more insidious are the smaller failures, the everyday

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

Sometimes, those “rights protect wrongs.

But the thing is, rights too freely abridged are not rights at all, but privileges. And privileges can be taken away.”

acts of moral cowardice that come and go in the rush of daily events: terror mosque panics and Hispanic bashing, driving-while-black traffic stops and the banning of books from public libraries.

The reason it’s not easy being America is that there is always a temptation to avoid the demands of dangerous ideals, a temptation to find a more expedient way.

That is what adds the taste of bittersweet to last week’s emphatic Supreme Court ruling in favor of Westboro Baptist Church.

Westboro, of course, is no more a church than the Playboy Mansion is. It is, rather, a boil on the buttock of reason, a tiny, Topeka, Kansas-based congregation of diseased minds whose entire raison d’etre is to spread the following bizarre thesis: America has grown too tolerant of gays; therefore, God has turned against America. He gets His point across by killing American soldiers.

Westboro members spread this hateful perversion of the gospel by showing up at military funerals bearing signs that depict images of anal sex and slogans like: “God Hates Fags” and “Thank God for Dead Soldiers.”

After this carnival of repugnance desecrated the 2006 funeral of a 20-year-old Marine, Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, his father, Albert, sued and won a $10.9 million verdict.

Westboro appealed. By a vote of 8 to 1, the Supremes vindicated the “church.” While noting that the protesters’ activities added to the “incalculable grief” of the Snyder family, Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, said we may not respond by punishing them.

“As a nation,” he wrote, “we have chosen a different course — to protect even hurtful speech on

public issues to ensure that we do not stifle public debate.”

And I don’t mind telling you: I had hoped the justices could find some loophole, some technical, legalistic way of restricting Westboro’s grotesque assaults while leaving intact the constitutional guarantee of free speech. Part of me still wishes they had. But another part of me knows we do that all too often, seek, for reasons both admirable and repulsive, to compromise our own freedoms, weasel out of defending those dangerous rights.

Small wonder. Sometimes, those rights protect wrongs. But the thing is, rights too freely abridged are not rights at all, but privileges. And privileges can be taken away.

Last week’s ruling, then, repulsive as it was, disappointing as it was, was also correct, also a needed reminder that freedom is a messy thing. It is a reminder that strips innocence away like tree bark. Yes, it’s painful when America fails its own ideals. But sometimes, it’s painful when America does not.

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Mar. 10, 1911: YEARS “FRESHIES AGO DON CAPS. Failure IN 1911 among the freshmen to wear one of the varicolored little lids on April 1 will subject the indiscreet ones to public paddling in front of Fraser hall. This order which is in accordance with the K.U. tradition of many years usage was promulgated last night by the student council. Wearing the absurdly tiny freshie lids is an April Fool’s Day custom long in vogue at Kansas, and the upperclassmen have delegated to themselves the power of enforcing the custom.”

“The regular story hour will be given at the library Saturday at four o’clock. All little folks of Lawrence are invited.”

PUBLIC FORUM

Neutral court To the editor: Recently, the Kansas House passed HB 2101, which would replace the nonpartisan Supreme Court Nominating Commission process for appointments to the Kansas Court of Appeals with an “advice and consent” model similar to the federal system.

The bill is headed to the Senate. HB 2101 will replace reasoned analysis of judicial qualifications with partisan bickering and lower the quality of the judiciary. HB 2101 is bad for Kansas.

The Supreme Court Nominating Commission provides an invaluable service to both the state government and Kansas citizens by vetting candidates for judicial appointment to ensure that only qualified individuals are presented to the governor. The commission is comprised of both lay and lawyer members who tend to be thoughtful and deliberate individuals that have earned the respect of their peers.

I will not pretend to agree with every appointment or decision rendered by our Court of Appeals. No lawyer

or citizen ever does. Nevertheless, the nominating commission has helped maintain ongoing respect for the judiciary. The nominating commission has also helped to strengthen the independence of the judiciary, something that I believe is imperative in a democracy. One need look no further than the federal system to see how potential appointees “politic” in the system proposed by HB 2101.

An open political process is paramount in the legislative and executive branches. Political power and governmental philosophies ebb and flow.

However, we need neutrality in the judicial branch of government. The constitution and the interpretation and implementation of law are too important to ride the waves of current popular opinion.

We are playing our most hated rival on their home court who are on an 11-0 run narrowing our lead to almost nil and there are only 3.5 minutes left to play.

And what happens? Somebody pulled our plug and plugged in two unrated teams game just starting. At the time, no explanation or follow up.

Truth. True, there were sunspots occurring recently but they ended days ago. True, no other occurrences of sunspot-related communication failures reported anywhere. Do you know anyone who had difficulty with their cell phone or Internet or other TV and radio communications? Truth, CBS had no trouble providing a perfectly clear, interruption free replay of the entire second half of the KU-MU game later in the day.

How were they able to do that if sunspots interfered with their electronics?

My guess is that the switch over was driven by sponsorship money, not electrical interference, and was intentional. How convenient that the so-called sunspot related network prob-

I certainly hope CBS gets their heads screwed on right before the start of the NCAA national tournament games.

Keeping pace To the editor: This is in response to George Gurley’s column in the March 6 Journal-World.

Yes, we have some strange words now. To be fair, though, we are doing some strange things. The language that we use must keep pace with these strange ideas.

Not long ago, there was no word for a collection of essays and information that was available to anyone and changeable by anyone. It had never been done before. So, they had to make a new word for it or, repurpose an old one.

But, always remember, just because it is new, does not make it silly. (It doesn’t make it wonderful either.) So, yes, I can stand in front of my mirror and say “wiki.” I tweet (or

CBS concerns To the editor: The recent Saturday broadcast of the KU-Mizzou game on CBS does not bode well for March Madness viewing for Jayhawk fans. WIBW 13 out of Topeka lost audio for nearly two minutes in the first half and lost audio and video signal completely in the second half.

KCTV 5 out of Mission cut away to the Michigan/Michigan State game with 2:30 minutes remaining in Columbia.

The KLWN radio broadcast was nine seconds ahead of the game on TV, making the choice of turning down the volume on the TV and turning on the radio less than satisfying.

Over the years, many basketball fans of KU have felt CBS has been anti-KU. (Did anyone from Lawrence attend the Billy Packer farewell dinner?) The

cutaways to what might interest sponsors and East Coast fans has permitted Jayhawk fans to watch some final exciting moments as Duke beat Little Sisters of the Blind, Lame and Poor 102-9 while the Jayhawks played UCLA. CBS, to its credit, says it is going to broadcast all games by co-casting with TBS and other cable channels. But as a backup, be prepared to use your iPhones or iPads to pick up the online broadcast.

For those whose only option to watch is CBS, keep track of the advertisers and let them know if their dollars are not feeding KU fanatics a quality broadcast. Or better yet, buy their competitors.

Thanks due To the editor: To the property owner(s) between 2600 and 3000 West Sixth (north, either side of Schwarz Rd.): I was one of the folks who filed a complaint with the city about unshoveled sidewalks.

I’m not writing to complain further but to compliment you. Since that complaint was filed, that whole stretch of sidewalk has been shoveled immediately after each of our last snowfalls. I walk that stretch almost daily, and now each time I do (and it’s snowy) I am grateful for your prompt attention to making those sidewalks safe for myself and others. So many times we (myself included) are quick to complain, but neglect to compliment where it is due. Thank you!

House panel endorses cut in public pensions TOPEKA — A Kansas House committee endorsed a bill Wednesday that would cut future retirement benefits for current teachers and government workers to help solve the long-term funding woes of their pension system.

The measure that cleared the Pensions and Benefits Committee on a voice vote also would increase the state’s annual LEGISLATURE contributions to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System and increase the age at which many teachers and government workers could start drawing full retirement benefits.

The bill goes against a longstanding assumption that’s governed past debates over pension legislation, that the state constitution and Kansas law prevent the state from altering its public pension plans by forcing lower benefits on current participants. But committee members said they’re compelled to act because of the projected $7.7 billion gap between anticipated KPERS revenues and promised benefits over the next few decades.

Emotional infidelity still considered cheating Annie’s Mailbox

She was always caring and supportive. A few months ago, I made some comments about a mutual friend that she misunderstood and thought were mean-spirited and nasty. I tried to explain what I meant, but she brushed me off, indicating she wouldn’t have time to further communicate with me.

I wrote her a few more times, telling her how much I miss our friendship, and apologized repeatedly for offendanniesmailbox@creators.com ing her. I thought she would again, I’d divorce him. forgive me, but she ignored Well, last year he joined her my e-mails and finally said online high school website. He she was too involved in other didn’t even go to that school.

He says it isn’t cheating if they aren’t having sex. But emotional affairs are just as devastating. Cheating is doing something when your partner is not around that you wouldn’t do if they were with you. Cheating destroys lives. And marriages.

— Still Hurting in Tennessee

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Doubts that “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox) would remain the “Death Star” and indisputable ratings champ have been laid to rest. Last Thursday, the revamped and Simon Cowell-less “Idol” attracted more than 25 million viewers, with more than 8 million of those in the coveted 18-to-49age bracket. Presumably, millions and millions more are even younger than that.

By way of contrast, “The Mentalist,” the second most watched show of the night, had a total audience of 10.5 million. That’s not too shabby for a repeat, but fewer than 2 million were between 18 and 49. That’s why the ageobsessed Liz Lemon on “30 Rock” likes to make jokes about being a big fan of that CBS show. ● “Polar Bear: Spy on Ice” (9 p.m., Animal Planet) follows big arctic critters in their home environment. While every great nature documentary has a “how-did-they-get-that-shot” moment, “Spy” has many such takes and makes no secret about its devious techniques.

Using the smallest remote-controlled devices, the filmmakers hid cameras in fake boulders, faux snow piles and even a rolling white ball that cubs played with, licked and kicked around. The filmmakers and remarkable technology behind “Spy” were featured on last Sunday’s “60 Minutes.” ● Tradition and consistency are on display in the visit to the Jack Daniel’s plant on “Ultimate Factories” (9 p.m., National Geographic). The Lynchburg, Tenn. facility produces 150 million bottles a year.

And the yeast they use in fermentation process is descended from the very first batch produced more than 140 years ago.

Speaking of old recipes, “Ultimate” visits a Coca-Cola bottler next Thursday.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway bring a certain heat to a game of chess in the 1968 thriller “The Thomas Crown Affair” (7 p.m., ABC). ● A cop’s killing leads to a trail of accusations and suspects on “CSI” (8 p.m., CBS). ● Andy hosts a sales incentive seminar on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC). ● Jake the sniper returns to form on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Murder on the 19th hole on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Jack tries to stay one step ahead of the news on “30 Rock” (9 p.m., NBC). ● Band members balk when a singer suggests they sell their song for use in a commercial on “Fairly Legal” (9 p.m., USA). ● Pauly and Vinny expand their horizons with a trip to Staten Island on “Jersey Shore” (9 p.m., MTV).

Cult choice The 1956 western “The Searchers” (7 p.m., TCM) is considered by many to be director John Ford’s best movie and John Wayne’s finest performance, and as a result, many count it among the best Westerns ever made. The movie’s influence transcended the screen. The British pop band The Searchers took their name from the movie and Buddy Holly turned John Wayne’s catch phrase into the hit song, “That’ll Be the Day.”

Dear Sad: Nora doesn’t believe your explanation and has decided you are no longer worth her time. She doesn’t seem to be the forgiving sort.

Sorry to say, this friendship is over.

Dear Annie: I was friends with “Nora” for several years.

For Thursday, March 10: This year, you naturally choose the right words.

Your popularity soars, as do your options. You are able to visualize ideas in a way that other people can't. If you are single, you could meet several interesting suitors. If you are attached, the two of you often don't agree. You might not completely understand each other's concepts or the innuendoes. Gemini can push your buttons.

Dear Tennessee: Cheating is when one partner shares intimacies, sexual or otherwise, with someone other than the spouse. Your husband has offered this woman time, energy and devotion that belong to you. Since he doesn’t seem to understand your objections, please try counseling before walking away.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, my husband had an emotional affair with an old girlfriend. This woman has caused problems throughout our marriage. I never seem to measure up to her. The first time I discovered that my husband was seeing her, I told him it had to stop. But just before our anniversary, he told me he wanted to be with her instead of me. I was devastated. Of course, a few days later, he got down on his knees and begged me to forgive him. He promised not to see her anymore.

However, he refused to stop speaking to her. I found his emails and had an emotional breakdown. When I told him in order for me to stay he had to cut her off completely, he did, but mourned as though she had died. We worked through it and became closer than before. I thought he loved me the way I loved him.

Two years later, they were e-mailing again. He said he didn’t think I’d mind! He found out she had breast cancer and told me if no one was available to take care of her, he would do it even if it meant ending our marriage. He made it plain that she was more important to him than I was.

I told him this was his last chance, and he promised to give her up, so I forgave him.

I made it clear that if I discovered he was in touch with her
