Call center expanding into former outlet mall

Old-fashioned rides rolling into town

———

Company planning to add 30 employees

Annual horse parade set for Saturday CONNIE WERNER WITH WERNER WAGON WORKS, OF HORTON, prepares her wagons Thursday afternoon at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. Werner will be taking part in Lawrence’s Old-Fashioned Christmas Parade.

The 19th annual event comes to downtown Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m. at Seventh and Massachusetts streets. The parade, which will head south on Massachusetts Street and end in South Park, will feature about 100 entrants, including horse-drawn carriages and rare black Clydesdale horses, said Phillip Bradley, one of the parade organizers. The parade, which costs about $20,000, is sponsored by a variety of businesses, including Wells Fargo. Rain is in Saturday’s forecast, and Bradley said the parade will go on unless weather conditions are extreme and pose a danger to the animals or crowd.

Also, Downtown Lawrence Inc. will have food collection bins throughout the downtown area. The bins will be out until Dec. 25, and will benefit the Just Food pantry.

Lawrence’s national standing as the place to call to get answers about student financial aid is getting a boost with a major expansion of a private call center.

A little-known Lawrence-based call center that handles questions about student financial aid confirmed Thursday that it is expanding into the former Tanger Outlet Mall in North Lawrence and plans to add more than 30 employees by early next year.

Student Financial Aid Services Inc. has signed a lease to move into 19,000 square feet of space in the I-70 Business Center in North Lawrence.

The company currently operates from the Golf Course Superintendent’s Association building in west Lawrence, but the sputtering economy has created new demand for the company that provides assistance for people applying for federal student aid.

“A lot of people who are looking for a job are getting the response that education is very important,” said Aaron Detwiler, vice president of operations for the company. “You have a lot more people going back to school, and that has caused the phone to ring more.”

The expansion adds to Lawrence’s reputation as a hub for the student financial aid industry. Vangent, the city’s largest private employer, operates a call center in the East Hills Business Park for people who have questions about filling Please see EXPANSION, page 2A

Online petition backs standards-based grades

The Lawrence school district’s use of standards-based grading for sixth-graders has some fans, after all.

Support for the grading system — which gives students “S,” “M,” “T” and “E” grades based on approaching, satisfying or exceeding state standards — is showing up through an online petition created by an art teacher at Cordley School.

The effort counters another online petition, one created by parents upset that their new middle schoolers are receiving grades previously reserved for elementary students.

“We just wanted to make sure that school board members and the community understand that there are other voices out there,” said Julia Rose-Weston, in her 17th year teaching art at Cordley. “There is another

voice in this community that believes it’s the best practice for our kids.”

Earlier this week, district administrators conducted two forums on the topic.

The events drew dozens of opponents, many of whom maintain that standardsbased grades overwhelm teachers, spur confusion and drain students of motivation.

Rose-Weston counters that while traditional letter grades are fine, use of standards-based grading is the most effective way to:

Inform students about their mastery of knowledge.

Inform teachers about what they should teach.

Inform parents about specific learning.

“It assesses the child instead of averaging a bunch of assignments,” she said.

Rose-Weston launched the petition nearly a month ago, and as of Thursday evening it had gathered 46 signees. About 20 are teachers in the district, she said.

TOPEKA — In response to a request for tax policy records, Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration said even if it has the records, it doesn’t have to release them.

On Oct. 11, the Lawrence Journal-World made a request under the Kansas Open Records Act for access to or copies of minutes, agendas and policy papers of a group that has been working in private to prepare a tax policy recommendation for Brownback.

Kansas Department of Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan is heading the effort to give recommendations to Brownback.

When given the newspaper’s request, the Revenue Department said it would need some time to respond to the “extensive nature of your request,” but promised to respond by Nov. 30.

WICHITA — Kansas in the next 150 years will rely less on agriculture as the backbone fueling its economy and more on the ingenuity and resilience of its urban residents to thrive.

The life and dreams for many rural Kansans will change in the next few decades as small towns hover on the precipice of growing or silently disappearing from the map.

Water will be the key resource and will determine whose jobs, lifestyles and property will survive.

Counties and services in sparsely populated areas will consolidate while cities, predominantly in eastern Kansas, will continue to grow and become larger metroplexes than they already are.

Still, Kansas will survive, said experts and officials who were asked about what our state — celebrating its 150th birthday in 2011 — will look like 150 years from now.

except that this exemption shall not apply when such records are publicly cited or identified in an open meeting or in an agenda of an open meeting.”

Brownback’s stated intention to overhaul the state tax code has generated a lot of interest and speculation. In past statements, Brownback has said he wants to reduce or eliminate the state income tax as a way to grow the economy. This idea has prompted concerns from some about how the state would fund education, social services and public safety.

Jordan has talked about a task force working on the tax proposal, but has provided few details. Earlier this year, it appeared the plan would be unveiled before the end of the year.

But now the governor’s office has said Brownback’s proposal probably won’t be outlined until his State of the State address to the Legislature, which is scheduled for Jan. 11.

Koranda has said senior Revenue Department staff members Richard Cram, head of policy and research, and Steve Stotts, director of taxation, have been consulted on the proposal. She said Republican leaders of the House and Senate tax committees had been consulted.

But she has declined to name any businesspeople who are working with the task force.

The only person outside state government who has been named to the task force working on a recommendation for Brownback is Arthur Laffer, who had served as a key economic adviser to President Ronald Reagan.

Laffer espouses cutting taxes for corporations and topincome earners as a way to grow the economy through increased jobs.

Laffer, who is being paid $75,000 as a consultant on the Kansas tax proposal, helped write the latest edition of “Rich States, Poor States” for the American Legislative Exchange Council. Brownback wrote the forward to the ALEC report.

Water concerns Currently, Kansas is using more water than it can replenish.

Nearly 86 percent of all water used in Kansas goes to agriculture, according to Mike Hayden, former Kansas governor and secretary of the Kansas Department of

out the financial aid application available on the government’s website.

Student Financial Aid Services’ Lawrence call center does the same type of work, except for a private website that offers a paid service for people who need additional assistance in filling out the application.

“We compare our business to a tax preparation service,” Detwiler said. “Everybody has the opportunity to submit the information for free, but a lot of people choose to go to a professional.”

In addition, the company also works with several Fortune 500 companies to manage their employee tuition reimbursement programs.

“

If we lose just one small town, maybe it doesn’t matter. But losing the collection of all of them makes a difference in who and what Kansas is.”

— Marci Penner, director of the Kansas Sampler Foundation Wildlife and Parks. Of that amount, 80 percent is devoted to irrigation.

Most of that water comes from the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the world’s largest aquifers, covering almost all of western Kansas. Because of demands from livestock and irrigation systems, some estimates predict the aquifer will dry up in about 25 years.

“We cannot continue to pump water at the rate and level we are now,” said Rex Buchanan, interim director of the Kansas Geological Survey. “If you look at some areas of the map, there are areas where the game will be over fairly quickly — like in the next 10 to 15 years, let alone 150 years from now.”

Hayden said if the aquifer declines, water rights will be purchased for nonagricultural uses.

New farming methods Farming practices also will shift, in part because of water issues. There will be more emphasis on dryland farming and at developing drought-resistant crops. Farms will get bigger and more corporate.

“A hundred years ago if you farmed with 300 acres you were a big operator, especially if you were in western Kansas,” Hayden said. “Today, just to survive, you have got to have at least 1,000 acres and you are probably not surviving very well on that.”

As water becomes more in demand, circle irrigation systems will begin to shut down.

It may cause feed yards — an iconic symbol of western Kansas — to move elsewhere, Hayden said.

“Feedlots were located in southwestern Kansas because of the climate and because the feed supply is right there,” he said. “Feedlots could relocate to places, such as Iowa, where they can grow 200-bushel-to-the-acre corn without irrigation.”

And, as the feedlots go, so go the people associated with those industries, Hayden said.

Gas and minerals In addition to water, there is concern that the Hugoton natural gas field in the southwest corner of the state may also disappear over the next 150 years.

“Clearly gas and water are limited,” Hayden said. “We are not making any more.

Once it is used, it is gone.

“The Hugoton fields have been mined for 80 years. Our reserves are looking less vital and viable all the time. This will change the face of western Kansas.”

Buchanan said he doesn’t

L A W R E N C E

know whether that will happen.

“What we thought we would be doing in terms of mineral depletion has not come to pass,” he said.

“It doesn’t show any real signs that it will. Things can change and can change a lot when they are driven by technology.”

In the meantime, there will be increasing concern for the environment, Buchanan said.

“A hundred and fifty years ago, nobody was talking about the Ogallala aquifer, they barely knew it existed,” Buchanan said. “And, in the 1870s, there was a lot of lead and zinc mining going on in southeastern Kansas that soon became a big environmental concern.”

Evaporation pits, developed less than a half century ago with oil and gas drilling, now are major concerns as the saltwater mixes with groundwater. And fracking, the process of shooting pressurized water, sand and chemicals under those wells, is currently coming under scrutiny amid accusations it contaminates groundwater.

Population shifts Eastern Kansas — Manhattan, Topeka, Lawrence and the cities around Kansas City — will get more populated in the next 150 years. Wichita will keep growing as will all the towns north of Wichita along I-135 to Salina.

The communities north of Salina to the Nebraska state line and those east and west to the Missouri and Colorado state lines will all get smaller, as will anything west of Hutchinson.

Meanwhile, as fewer people live on farms, smaller communities will disappear or reinvent themselves.

“Towns are either growing or dying, they aren’t staying stagnant,” said Katie Eisenhour, executive director of the Scott City Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development. “Luckily, we are growing.”

From 2000 to 2010, the town’s population grew 73 percent. The town’s population now exceeds 4,000 residents, with a growing population of Hispanics shifting the dynamics of life in Scott City.

“If you don’t integrate and welcome and get people of other cultures involved at the government level, pretty soon you will have two separate communities,” she said. “We won’t tolerate that. People come here wanting to find jobs. And even with 3.5 percent unemployment, if you want to work, you’ll find a job.”

As small towns disappear, many fear that the sense of community for many Kansans will also disappear.

“If we lose just one small town, maybe it doesn’t matter,” said Marci Penner, director of the Kansas Sampler Foundation, which promotes rural culture.

“But losing the collection of all of them makes a difference in who and what Kansas is. People don’t know the value of small towns if they don’t live in them or are somehow connected to them.”

Officials oppose child labor restrictions 1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Senate approves $662B defense bill Ignoring a presidential veto threat, the Democratic-controlled Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly approved a massive, $662 billion defense bill that would require the military to hold suspected terrorists linked to al-Qaida or its affiliates, even those captured on U.S. soil, and detain some indefinitely.

The vote was 93-7 for the bill authorizing money for military personnel, weapons systems, national security programs in the Energy Department, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1. Reflecting a period of austerity and a winding down of decade-old conflicts, the bill is $27 billion less than what President Barack Obama requested and $43 billion less than what Congress gave the Pentagon this year.

Shortly before final passage, the Senate unanimously backed crippling sanctions on Iran as fears about Tehran developing a nuclear weapon outweighed concerns about driving up oil prices that would hit economically strapped Americans at the gas pump. The vote was 100-0.

Senate rejects extending payroll tax cut Senate Republicans on Thursday defeated a plan

by President Barack Obama to renew a temporary cut in the Social Security payroll tax, even as all sides on Capitol Hill continue to promise an eventual compromise on a tax holiday before Congress leaves Washington for Christmas.

More than two dozen of the Senate’s 47 Republicans also voted to kill an alternative plan backed

by GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky in a vote that exposed a wide split among the party over whether renewing an existing 2 percentage point payroll tax cut makes sense.

The defeat of the competing plans came as House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said for the first time that renewing the payroll tax cut would boost the lagging economy, a view many in his party don’t share. Boehner also promised compromise on a renewal of long-term jobless benefits through the end of 2012.

Islamists poised to dominate parliament Islamists appear to have taken a strong majority of seats in the first round of Egypt’s first parliamentary vote since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster, a trend that if confirmed would give religious parties a popular mandate in the struggle to win control from the ruling military and ultimately reshape a key U.S. ally.

Final results, expected today, will be the clearest indication in decades of Egyptians’ true political views and give the long-banned Muslim Brotherhood a major role in the country’s first freely elected parliament. An Islamist majority could also herald a greater role for conservative Islam in Egyptian social life and shifts in foreign policy, especially toward Israel and the Palestinians.

Clinton meets Suu Kyi Wrapping up a historic three-day visit to Myanmar today, Hillary Rodham Clinton met for a second time in as many days with former political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi, this time at the lakeside residence where the Nobel laureate was kept under house arrest for much of the last two decades.

Clinton’s meetings with Suu Kyi forcefully underscored a U.S. challenge to Myanmar’s leaders: The new civilian government must expand recent reforms, including the release of political prisoners, to improve relations as it emerges from more than a half-century of repressive military rule.

Proposal would limit operation of certain farm equipment without supervision Staff Reports

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and other Kansas officials said Thursday proposed federal restrictions aimed at increasing safety for children working on farms go too far.

“The learning opportunities provided by working in agriculture are second to none,” Brownback said. “Spending time on a farm or ranch teaches

young people the value of hard work and instills in them a respect for land and animals.”

Schmidt said, “This proposed regulation is a one-size-fits-all bureaucratic assault on rural culture.

If this had been the law when I was a kid working on my grandpa’s farm, a formative part of my childhood would have been illegal.”

The officials were criticizing a move by the U.S. Department of Labor to update child labor regulations in agriculture.

“Children employed in agriculture are some of the most vulnerable workers in America,” said U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis. The fatality Schmidt rate for young agriculture workers is four times the rate of young people working in non-agricultural workplaces, according to the Labor Department.

The proposal would prohibit farm workers under age 16 from operating almost all power-

driven equipment unless the child was under the supervision of a parent or guardian. It also would restrict youngsters from working around certain animals and handling pesticides.

Some agriculture officials have said the restrictions are too much and would hurt family farmers who depend on youngsters to work on the farm.

In addition to Brownback and Schmidt, the federal proposal was criticized by Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Dale Rodman, Secretary of Commerce Pat George and Secretary of Labor Karin Brownlee.

School district to review notification system in wake of bomb threat Free State evacuated

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Twitter, Facebook, area media outlets and good old-fashioned word of mouth quickly spread news of a bomb threat spurring the cancellation of classes Thursday at Free State High School.

The Lawrence school district’s automated phone system — the contracted service designed to deliver official announcements and information in just these kids of emergencies — didn’t stand a chance.

“There was definitely delayed delivery this morning,” said Kyle Hayden, the district’s chief operations officer, who acknowledged that some families hadn’t received direct, official phone notifications until an hour and a half or more after the decision to call off school. “We feel like that problem was the result of the phone lines burning up due to the initial threat being reported.”

School officials notified Lawrence police at 7:46 a.m. that a written bomb threat had been discovered at the school, 4700 Overland Drive. By then many of the school’s 1,503 students had been showing up for their “zero hour” classes, which were to begin at 8:05 a.m.

The first automated message going out by phone to families of Free State students was sent soon after 8 a.m.

But as people jammed phone lines with questions, comments and concerns — both at the school and the district office, 101 McDonald Drive — the message was slow getting out, Hayden said. While the first message was received at 8:14 a.m., some recordings hadn’t made their way into students’ homes or onto parents’ wireless phones until 9:30 a.m. or even later.

Will there be a makeup day? Maybe So, will Free State High School students need to make up class time lost to Thursday’s bomb threat?

“It’s yet to be determined,” said Kyle Hayden, chief operations officer for the Lawrence school district.

The state mandates that students spend a minimum number of hours in class for the year. That’s why the district builds in days for “inclement weather,” to account for time lost to snow or ice on roads without having to rearrange school calendars.

But first, district officials must determine whether students did, in fact, attend school Thursday. Hundreds had shown up for “zero hour,” but classes had been canceled before such classes could begin.

“That’s something we’re going to have to look into and discuss and make a decision,” Hayden said.

Decisions about how to account for the lost work time by teachers and other employees also remain to be determined, Hayden said.

Political science professor chosen as KU’s dean of graduate studies

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Kansas University has selected a political science professor and the director of its Center for Global and International Studies as the next dean of graduate studies after an internal search.

Thomas W. Heilke will begin his new position on Jan. 8. He

previously worked as associate dean of international programs from 2003 to 2007 in KU’s former Graduate School and Office of International Programs.

Heilke said Thursday he hoped to help make the office a repository for good data on the state of graduate education.

He also aims to implement the university’s strategic goals on

increasing the level of doctoral education and increasing the funding available for graduate education, from both grants and private donors.

Funding is one of the biggest challenges facing graduate education at KU, Heilke said. The faculty, facilities and other support are there, he said, but in many cases, money — specifi-

cally, the lack of it — hampers the growth of graduate studies.

He said he hoped to show private donors how good graduate education supports undergraduates, too.

“That’s not smoke and mirrors,” Heilke said. “That’s actually true.”

Graduate students frequently connect with undergraduates

as teaching assistants, and they support the research mission of the university, an area in which undergraduates are becoming more and more involved, Heilke said.

The office of graduate studies, Heilke said, serves both a helping and a regulatory role in the Please see DEAN, page 4A Heilke

BRIEFLY 4 charges filed after police standoff

next court appearance for 2 p.m. Monday.

Prosecutors Thursday filed four charges, including attempted aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, against a man arrested after a standoff Tuesday night with Lawrence police.

Prosecutors also charged Brian Lee Bailey, 22, with aggravated intimidation of a witness or victim, criminal restraint and domestic battery.

Bailey was arrested Tuesday night after police surrounded a mobile home in the 3300 block of Iowa Street.

According to the charges, prosecutors accuse Bailey of preparing to fire a revolver at a Lawrence police officer at a door where Bailey believed the officer was about to enter the mobile home. He eventually peacefully surrendered.

The incident stemmed from a domestic disturbance inside the home earlier in the night, and no one was injured. A woman had exited the mobile home earlier before the man’s standoff with police.

A judge set Bailey’s bond at $20,000 and scheduled his

“It was probably tweeted and on Facebook before the message was even inputted,” Bradford said, acknowledging reports that students quickly exchanged texts, logged on to social media and accessed local news sites.

“This is only one of multiple ways people are notified.

There are other methods of receiving school information than just this one.”

Bradford, who serves as chief of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical, noted that students were safely evacuated from the build-

Even a second message, recorded and set at 8:59 a.m., took nearly an hour to reach some families, “We’re going to have to look at that and make some adjustments,” Hayden said.

Part of the problem: The initial recording erroneously hadn’t been sent out as an “emergency” message, which likely had knocked it down a few notches on a priority list of messages being sent through the district’s hired contractor, which provides such services nationwide.

But the second message did go out through an “emergency” channel, and still faced lengthy delays.

Mark Bradford, president of the Lawrence school board, said that the delays certainly should be investigated and improvements

Others left in their cars — to homes, friends’ places, even IHOP. “There are a lot of times you can’t be dependent on one source of information,” Bradford said. “In this particular case … there was staff present to be sure nobody ever was in danger.”

By 12:40 p.m., multiple searches of the 257,000-square-foot building — all 77 classrooms, plus all lockers, the gym, cafeteria and common areas — had been combed for any evidence of an explosive devise.

Nothing was found to be out of the ordinary.

“Which is a good thing,” Hayden said. “The initial threat ended up being a nonthreat.”

Police search for armed robbery suspect Lawrence police are searching for a man suspected of robbing another man of a television set at gunpoint early Thursday in the 700 block of Alabama Street.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said a 21-year-old Lawrence man, who was a guest at the residence, reported the robbery occurred at 1:47 a.m.

Thursday.

The suspect, described as a black male, also stole a 1999 Cadillac from the driveway of the home, owned by a 59-yearold Lawrence man. Officers eventually located the Cadillac near Sixth Street and Monterey Way, and after a brief pursuit the suspect crashed the car near Monterey Way and Bob Billings Parkway before running away on foot.

Sarna said Thursday evening person or people responsible for making the unspecified bomb threat — walking up to the front door on the south side of the school, taping a handwritten message in the earlymorning hours that would be discovered and then reported to a school administrator just as school was about to begin.

“We do have some video surveillance that is going to assist us here,” Hayden said.

Police urged anyone with information about the bomb threat to call the police department, 832-7650 or Douglas County Crime Stoppers, 843-TIPS (8477).

Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to caller ID, and all callers remain anonymous. Tips to the Crime Stoppers hot line can lead to an award of up to $1,000.

police were still looking for the suspect, although they did locate and interview a possible accomplice, who was not arrested Thursday. The suspected accomplice was driving a 2000 Nissan that had the TV inside, Sarna said, and officers stopped him near Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive.

Franklin Co. man indicted in meth case A federal grand jury in Kansas City, Kan., Wednesday indicted a 36-year-old Franklin County man accusing him of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

According to U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom’s office, Timothy Wilson is accused of possessing the drugs Sept. 8 in Franklin County.

Ottawa police and Franklin County Sheriff’s Officers investigated the case along with U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents.

If convicted, Wilson faces from 10 to 40 years in federal prison and a maximum fine of $2 million, according to prosecutors.

Analyst: Expect cattle market to stay strong WICHITA (AP) — Consumers can expect to pay more for their beef this coming year if the return of wetter weather allows cattle ranchers to begin rebuilding herds rather than sending cows to slaughter, a leading market analyst told hundreds of livestock producers Thursday.

Cattle prices will likely remain strong for many years, Randy Blach, the executive vice president of CattleFax, said at the Kansas Livestock Association’s convention in Wichita.

Blach said that the number of females slaughtered could drop by a million cows during the next two years as the industry goes from liquidating herds to expanding them.

About a third of the nation’s livestock herds are located in areas that suffered from drought this year, Blach said.

The drought led many producers to send breeding cows to slaughter as hay prices skyrocketed. But if forecasts projecting more rain in those regions hold up, ranchers are expected to keep more of those cows for their operations.

“Lean beef prices are going to get higher,” Blach said.

Beef prices — already bolstered by a strong export demand — had already risen by 14 percent between 2010 and 2011.

They could reach an average of $5 a pound in 2012, according to the CattleFax projections.

In addition to higher beef prices for consumers, the impact of taking 1 million cows out of slaughter will vary depending on the type of livestock operation involved, he said.

BRIEFLY Ballard to lead National Black Caucus State Rep. Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, will lead more than 350 members of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators during its annual conference next week in Chicago.

Ballard “We are on the front lines in the battle to bring jobs and a better quality of life to our constituents,” said Ballard, who serves as president of the NBCSL. “The issues we deal with are life and death, and this conference will provide a framework for national progress,” she said.

The conference will be from Dec. 7 to 11 at the Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel.

Legislators from nearly every state will tackle issues such as education, transportation, health care and agriculture. NBCSL focuses on domestic policy “and is committed to policies that positively affect all Americans.”

Holiday Extravaganza is Sunday in Eudora The Eudora Chamber of Commerce will host a Holiday Extravaganza Open House on Sunday that will benefit the Eudora Food Pantry and Community Living Opportunities.

The event will include a silent auction for decorated Christmas trees, sleigh rides provided by CLO’s Midnight Farm, pictures with Santa, treats for children and musical entertainment. The event is charging $5 for a picture with Santa, but that fee is waived with a donation of two cans of food. Donations also are accepted for the sleigh rides.

The event will run from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at Eudora High School, which is just south of the Kansas Highway 10 and Church Street interchange.

Brown Foundation leaves namesake site KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — A foundation led by the daughter of the lead plaintiff in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation case has complied with a demand that it leave a National Park site housed in a former segregated school in Kansas’ capital city.

“At the end of the day the worst they could accuse her of was employing her sister at the foundation, which is a foundation established in part by her family, and that she was in a relationship with a co-worker,” said Deborah Dandridge, a member of the Brown Foundation board of directors.

Subsequently, the government commissioned an audit into the foundation’s finances. The audit was to be released Thursday.

A VAN PARKED IN THE HIGHLAND PARK SECTION of Los Angeles and another car are shown damaged by trees early Thursday as high winds up to 50 and 60 mph tore through the southland.

Strong winds down trees and power lines in West

By Noaki Schwartz Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — The most powerful winds to tear across California in nearly 15 years kept 9-year-old Dalen Guyton up late into the night. Then, around midnight, came the boom.

The great yawning tree that stood next to his grandmother’s house, the one with the rope swing he and his sisters played on, had toppled, coming within inches of their one-story home.

On Thursday, the siblings stood out front surveying the damage, like thousands across the West where high winds toppled countless trees, knocked out power to hundreds of thousands and brought gusts of 123 mph.

“If she pays someone to clean it up, it’s not going to be a good Christmas,” said the boy, who was wearing a Santa hat. “She’s not going to be able to get any presents.”

The National Weather Service called Southern California’s winds Wednesday night a once-in-a-decade event, and it’s not over. Winds were expected to pick up again Thursday night though they won’t be as fierce.

In the mountains, winds were expected to gust up to 65 mph into Friday morning and 50 mph in the valleys.

High wind warnings and advisories were also issued for Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Arizona and New Mexico.

The blustery weather is expected to eventually hit Oklahoma, Missouri and Indiana.

The storms were the result of a dramatic difference in pressure between a strong, high-pressure system and a cold, low-pressure system, meteorologists said. This funnels strong winds down mountain canyons and slopes.

The winds reached 123 mph at a ski resort northwest of Denver and topped 102 mph in Utah.

California, however, was the hardest hit, with more than 200,000 utility customers without power. The gusts were blamed for toppling semitrailers and causing trees to fall on homes, apartment complexes and cars.

In some neighborhoods, concrete light poles cracked in half. Darkened traffic signals and fallen palm tree fronds and branches snarled traffic. At a Shell station, the roof collapsed into a heap of twisted metal.

“It was a terrifying ride for me, coming here in pitch dark ... and watching motorists take no notice of lights being out,” said

U.N.: Syria in a civil war with 4,000 dead BEIRUT — Syria has entered a state of civil war with more than 4,000 people dead and an increasing number of soldiers defecting from the army to fight President Bashar Assad’s regime, the U.N.’s top human rights official said Thursday.

Civil war has been the worstcase scenario in Syria since the revolt against Assad began eight months ago. Damascus has a web of allegiances that extends to Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah movement and Iran’s Shiite theocracy, raising fears of a regional conflagration.

The assessment that the bloodshed in Syria has crossed into civil war came from the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay.

The conflict has shown little sign of letting up. Activists reported up to 22 people killed Thursday, adding to what has become a daily grind of violence.

General Motors will buy Chevrolet Volts back from any owner who is afraid the electric cars will catch fire, the company’s CEO said Thursday.

In an interview, CEO Dan Akerson insisted that the cars are safe, but said the company will purchase the Volts because it wants to keep customers happy. Three fires have broken out in Volts after side-impact crash tests done by the federal government.

Akerson said that if necessary, GM will recall the more than 6,000 Volts now on the road in the U.S. and repair them once the company and federal safety regulators figure out what caused the fires.

Bob Spencer, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works.

Bill Patzert of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, lives in Sierra Madre and like hundreds of thousands of people across the region, lost power at his home. A heavy tree limb blocked his driveway.

He estimated winds peaked between 80 to 90 mph in his neighborhood overnight.

“It was like being in a hurricane. I thought I was going to blow away,” he said. In heavily damaged Pasadena, schools and libraries closed and a local emergency, the first since 2004, was declared. Officials said 40 people were evacuated from an apartment building after a tree smashed part of the roof.

Economy improving, but job growth is still weak WASHINGTON (AP) — Factories are producing more.

Construction is growing.

People are buying more cars.

The holiday shopping season is off to a strong start.

Normally, all that would suggest a bright outlook for the economy. Problem is, employers still aren’t hiring much, the number of people seeking unemployment benefits remains high and Europe’s debt crisis poses a grave threat to the future.

Thursday’s mixed economic picture came a day before the government will report on unemployment and job growth for November. That report is expected to show a modest net gain of 125,000 jobs, scarcely enough to keep up with population growth. The unemployment rate is projected to remain 9

percent.

Analysts say the economy remains locked in a goodbut-hardly-good-enough position: It’s growing consistently, yet too weakly to induce employers to hire aggressively.

“The economy is picking up momentum as we close out 2011,” said Neil Dutta, an economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. At the same time, it faces “an ongoing flu in Europe” and other challenges, such as uncertainty about future taxes and spending in the United States, Dutta said.

For now, factories are expanding. The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, says its manufacturing index rose to 52.7 in November, up from 50.8 in October.

Any reading above 50 indicates expansion. Factories have grown for 28 straight months.

Manufacturers are slightly more hopeful about the next few months because of cheaper raw materials and healthy demand, said Bradley Holcomb, head of the ISM’s survey committee.

Still, he said, companies have tempered their outlook because of concerns about whether the economy will grow consistently, uncertainty about federal taxes and regulation and fear that Europe’s debt crisis may trigger a global economic panic.

Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo, suggested that employers are reluctant to hire freely because the U.S. economy’s future appears hazy.

Forced diversity may hurt minorities

EDITORIALS

Safety gap Kansas’ two U.S. senators are working to close an important regulatory gap for underground natural gas storage fields.

F

ederal legislation introduced this week by our state’s two U.S. senators could close an important safety gap in Kansas and many other states.

Sen. Jerry Moran and Sen. Pat Roberts teamed up on legislation that would allow states to monitor underground natural gas storage within their borders. Such inspections were halted in Kansas 19 months ago after a Topeka federal judge ruled that, because the natural gas being stored was for interstate commerce, monitoring the safety of the storage sites was a federal responsibility.

That would be fine, except that the federal government hasn’t stepped up to meet that responsibility.

This issue is of particular concern to Kansans because of two natural gas explosions in Hutchinson in 2001. Natural gas being stored in an underground salt cavern escaped and flowed seven miles underground to Hutchinson where it popped up through abandoned brine wells and exploded. The first explosion destroyed about a half-block of businesses in Hutchinson’s downtown. A day later, the leaking gas found another escape route to the surface and exploded in a mobile home park in east Hutchinson, killing an elderly couple.

After the explosions, the Kansas Legislature passed a law that would have the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Corporation Commission split responsibility for regulating underground storage of hazardous gas and liquids. The federal court ruling, however, reduced that authority and left the KCC providing oversight for only about 4 percent of the 272 billion cubic feet of storage space in 11 Kansas locations where utilities hold gas at high pressure until it is piped out to customers.

The interest of Kansas and any other state with similar fields is obvious. The federal government may not be focused on this issue, but the safety of the people who live above or near these storage fields is of grave interest to state and local officials. The companies who use this underground storage also have a stake in ensuring the safety of the facilities, but the Hutchinson explosions prove that additional oversight is justified. The experience and local knowledge provided by in-state inspectors offer the best chance to avoid further tragedies.

The legislation being proposed by Moran and Roberts is a common sense approach to an issue that affects not only Kansas, but every state with similar natural gas storage facilities.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court faces a discomfiting decision. If it chooses, as it should, to hear a case concerning racial preferences in admissions at the University of Texas, the court will confront evidence of its complicity in harming the supposed beneficiaries of preferences the court has enabled and encouraged.

In the 1978 Bakke case concerning preferences in a medical school’s admissions, Justice Lewis Powell, the swing vote on a fractured court, wrote that institutions of higher education have a First Amendment right — academic freedom — to use race as one “plus” factor when shaping student bodies to achieve viewpoint diversity. Thus began the “educational benefits” exception to the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection of the laws.

But benefits to whom? For 33 years, the court has been entangled in a thicket of preferences that are not remedial and hence not temporary. Preferences as recompense for past discrimination must eventually become implausible, but the diversity rationale for preferences never expires.

Liberals would never stoop to stereotyping, but they say minorities necessarily make distinctive — stereotypical? — contributions to viewpoint diversity, conferring benefits on campus culture forever. And minorities admitted to elite universities and professional schools supposedly serve the compelling goal of enlarging the minority component of the middle class and professions.

But what if many of the mi-

George Will

norities used in this process are injured by it? Abundant research says they are, as two amicus curiae briefs demonstrate in urging the court to take the Texas case.

In 2003, when the court ruled on two cases arising from University of Michigan undergraduate and law school racial-preference policies, the court contributed more confusion than clarity. It struck down the undergraduate policies as too mechanistic in emphasizing race but upheld the law school’s pursuit of educational benefits from a “critical mass” of certain approved minorities.

The details of the Texas policies are less important than what social science says about the likely consequences of such policies. A brief submitted by UCLA law professor Richard

Sander and legal analyst Stuart Taylor argues that voluminous research refutes the legal premise for such racial classifications: They benefit relatively powerless minorities.

“Academic mismatch” causes many students who are admitted under a substantial preference based on race, but who possess weaker academic skills, to fall behind. The consequences include especially high attrition rates from the sciences, and self-segregation in less-demanding classes, thereby reducing classroom diversity. Blacks are significantly more integrated across the University of California system than they were before the state eliminated racial preferences in 1996, thereby discouraging enrollment of underprepared minorities in the more elite institutions.

Sander and Taylor report: “Research suggests a similar pattern nationally; scholars have found that the use of large racial preferences by elite colleges has the effect of reducing diversity at second-tier schools.” Another study showed that even if eliminating racial preferences in law schools would mean 21 percent fewer black matriculants, there would still be no reduction in the number of blacks who graduate and pass the bar exam.

A second brief, submitted by three members of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (Gail Heriot, Peter Kirsanow and Todd Gaziano), argues that racial preferences in law school admissions mean fewer black lawyers than there would be without preferences that bring law students into elite academic settings where their credentials

put them in the bottom of their classes. A similar dynamic is reducing the number of minority scientists and engineers than there would be under race-neutral admissions policies.

There are fewer minorities entering high-prestige careers than there would be if preferences were not placing many talented minority students in inappropriate, and discouraging, academic situations: “Many would be honor students elsewhere. But they are subtly being made to feel as if they are less talented than they really are.”

This is particularly so regarding science and engineering, which are, as Heriot, Kirsanow and Gaziano say, “ruthlessly cumulative”: Students who struggle in entry-level classes will find their difficulties cascading as the academic ascent becomes steeper.

Hence the high attrition rates.

The court should use the Texas case to acknowledge the intersection of constitutional law and social science regarding racial preferences, and to revisit the crumbling legal rationale for them.

Until it does, diversity bureaucracies on campuses will continue to use minority students as mere means to other people’s ends, injuring minorities by treating them as ingredients that supposedly enrich the academic experience of others.

In six devastating words, the Heriot-Kirsanow-Gaziano brief distills the case against the “diversity” rationale for racial preferences: “Minority students are not public utilities.”

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 2, 1911: YEARS “The lecture AGO on Women and IN 1911 the Ballot given last night in the Friends church by Mrs. A. C. Zehner of Dallas, Texas, was of unusual interest. Mrs. Zehner is a southerner and speaks with a marked southern accent. She is of Scotch-Irish extraction. She has a strong personality and unites the energy of the north with the eloquence of the south.

She treats her subject as only a strong woman can who has had a wide experience in life. Mrs. Zehner sets forth her arguments for woman suffrage clearly and convincingly.”

Fiscal crisis

To the editor: Turner Gill’s two-year run as coach is over, but it’s important for everyone to remember, as I see the message boards blowing up with vitriolic and scathing criticism of this team, that it was a team made up of college kids. None of those kids out there on that field were making millions of dollars, and many of them were out there representing the school as best they could.

One of those kids was Stephen Johnson; one of KU’s starting inside linebackers. As a KU football season ticket holder, I saw Stephen bring it every game. He played his guts out and represented the Crimson and Blue with pride and passion. I just want to say thank you to Stephen for his efforts on the field and the great example that he put forth in showing that, no matter how badly things go, you never stop trying.

This season was a disaster, I’m not disputing that, but he still played as hard as he could and ended the season leading the conference in tackles. Unfortunately, with as bad as things went this season Stephen’s efforts have gone largely unrecognized. Not by those of us who were there every Saturday. Best of luck to you in the future, Stephen. Thanks for wearing the Crimson and Blue with pride.

To the editor: When reading Mike Hoeflich’s ominous screed (“US facing constitutional crisis,” Journal-World, Nov. 30), I was reminded of the sick patient, who rather than opting for painful surgery, kept trying to find a doctor who would tell him what he wanted to hear.

Merely electing new politicians won’t cure our fiscal problems!

As a nation, we have been living beyond our economic means, and there is a growing realization that if we don’t get our fiscal house in order, the U.S. dollar will lose its status as the global reserve currency. Since our Federal Reserve has been running the printing presses 24/7 for the past decade, should foreign banks start to dump their dollar reserves, Americans will likely need wheelbarrows to go shopping. The automatic cuts mandated in the deficit reduction legislation are the first, small (and painful) steps toward fiscal health.

Hard truth To the editor: My heartfelt thanks to the Lawrence Journal-World for giving its readers a chance to comment about local, state and national events. I must include kudos to those who take the time to write. Many viewpoints I agree

with, a few I don’t, but that does not detract from the fact that they are well-written, without the rancor that so often permeates letters to the editor columns. It’s admirable that the good people of Douglas County exhibit civility. However, there comes a time when we should demand the truth.

A few days ago, this paper ran an article titled, “Kansas congressional delegation dismayed over panel’s failure on deal.” The gang of four comprised of Moran, Roberts, Yoder, and Jenkins were dismayed? Really? It would have been more honest if the headline read, “Grover Norquist’s congressional delegation ...” I remember Rep. Jenkins proudly announcing that she signed his no tax pledge.

Whom do these delegates represent anyway? Certainly not the working class. They have blocked every effort to put people to work, including plans to put thousands of unemployed construction workers on projects which would upgrade our aging infrastructure.

The kindest thing I can say about “our delegates” is that they are accomplished at skewing facts to accommodate those at the top of the economic hierarchy. It’s time for the rest of us to face the hard truth. The people we hired to represent us have no respect or loyalty to their bosses.

To them, we appear as dumb as we vote. Stay asleep on election day, folks. These politicians are counting on it.

Anna Slemmer, Lawrence

Training abuse To the editor: WHINSEC, previously named the “School of the Americas,” is a shameful scar upon the American ideals of freedom and democracy. This training facility in Georgia trains foreign militants on the U.S. taxpayer dime. According to a U.N. Truth Commission report, some of the most notorious human rights abusers in Latin America have been SOA graduates or attendees, including the officers responsible for the 1980 assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador in front of his congregation while he was giving Mass. His crime? The previous day he had publicly criticized the repression and killings being carried out by the rightwing militant government.

Now graduates and attendees are using their new SOA skills to become some of the most notorious criminals in the drug war.

Rene Sanabria, who attended SOA in 1993, was sentenced to 32 years for cocaine trafficking this past September. Currently, the country of Colombia, which has been cited in recent years for having the highest number of human rights abuses in South America by its own military, also has the highest number of SOA graduates, and the numbers are increasing.

Why are our tax dollars paying for this?

Wichita bridge will cost $300K to fix WICHITA (AP) — Kansas transportation officials estimate it will cost about $300,000 to repair a Wichita bridge that was damaged when it was hit by a truck with an extended hydraulic boom.

Kansas Department of Transportation spokesman Tom Hein told The Wichita Eagle that the amount will be paid by Fremar Corp. or its insurance company. Fremar owns and operates the large trash hauler whose raised lift struck the north side of the bridge as it tried to pass underneath earlier this month.

The company also will get a bill of about $3,300 from the city for damage to a decorative street light fixture and pole.

Hein said the bridge repairs should be finished by Christmas.

Ruel knows keys to winning

Toughing it out

As more jobs open, KU search continues

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Coaching searches provide an excuse to call guys about whom you’ve heard so many good things but never had a chance to visit with on the phone.

Golden Pat Ruel, lifelong assistant coach, qualifies as one such man. Ruel has coached football at eight different universities and five different NFL teams. He has spent the past seven seasons working for Pete Carroll at USC and with the Seattle Seahawks.

Ruel, 60, and working in his fifth decade as a football coach, had the courtesy to return my phone call Thursday when he had a long break between game-day meetings preparing for a night clash with the Philadelphia Eagles in Seattle.

KU women credit aggressive play in victory

While Thursday turned out to be another quiet day for Kansas University’s search to find a head football coach, plenty of moves that might impact what happens at KU unfolded across the country.

The action was slow and steady for most of the day, but, by the time the sun set, Texas A&M had an opening, Arizona State was refuting reports of an offer to Houston head coach Kevin Sumlin, 47, and KU target Larry Fedora, 49, of Southern Miss, had a little more on his plate than he did when he woke up.

Fedora’s situation is by far the most interesting for Kansas.

Although the College Station, Texas, native seemed destined to become a top candidate at A&M, which fired Mike Sherman on Thursday, reports from the Dallas Morning News indicated that sources listed Sumlin, Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart, 35, and Louisville head Follow the coach Charlie latest news Strong, 51, as from the KU the three lead coaching candidates at search on A&M.

That could clear the way for him to climb higher on Kansas’ wish list and increases the odds of Fedora coming to Lawrence, should the Jayhawks be interested.

KU, which saw Mike Leach, 50, snatched out from under its nose by Washington State on Wednesday, actually seems to have a longer list of viable candidates today than it did 24 hours ago.

Former Colorado and Northwestern head coach Gary Barnett, 65, said on a Kansas City sports talk radio show Thursday morning that he was interested in the Kansas job. South Florida’s Skip Holtz, 47, a KU candidate in 2009 and the son of legendary Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz, also may be drawing interest. And recently fired Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt, 54,

Seabury hoops squads embrace this season’s challenges if Seabury takes some lumps in the process.

“For us it’s not necessary about wins and losses during the season,” he said. “It’s about preparing for that third season.”

The Seahawks, 12-7 last year, have the pieces to be successful.

Battles said Gillett can push the ball and initiate offensively and defensively, while Funtarov, Diaz and Lane can “go get buckets” and May and Lock can clear the glass and do work inside.

That being said, Battles wants the Seahawks to respect their opponents, be they 6A or 1A. “Even though we have good players,” he said, “we know that our job is to go out and be humble, play as hard as we can, play as smart as we can.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Lynch carries Seahawks past Eagles SEATTLE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Marshawn Lynch loves the prime-time stage, even if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rarely given such a spotlight.

Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard-charging running back bulled through Philadelphia for 148 yards and a pair of first-half touchdowns, David Hawthorne returned the third of Vince Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four interceptions 77 yards for a score, and the Seahawks rolled to a 31-14 victory Thursday night that only added to the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; miserable season.

Lynch ran into and escaped from a massive pileup for a 15yard TD run in the first quarter, then made a quick cut and went back against the flow for a 40yard scoring dash on the first play of the second quarter to give the Seahawks (5-7) a 14-0 lead.

Golden Tateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11-yard, toetapping touchdown grab along the back edge of the end zone in the third quarter pushed Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cushion to 17 over the Eagles (48).

But the Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third victory in their last four games wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t secured until Hawthorne stepped

in front of a swing pass intended for LeSean McCoy and raced untouched in the other direction with 4:24 left.

Making his third straight start in place of Michael Vick and his two broken ribs, Young couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the same magic he did in the 2006 Rose Bowl when he led Texas to an upset of Pete Carroll and USC. Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first pass of the night was an awful interception thrown right to Seattle safety Kam Chancellor and nowhere near an Eagles receiver. Young was intercepted in the third quarter as well when a perfect pass deflected off the hands of Riley Cooper and into the hands of cornerback Brandon Browner. Both turnovers led to Seattle touchdowns.

Then came a pass for McCoy when Young clearly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see Hawthorne, ruining the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last chance to rally. For good measure, Young added one more interception in the final moments, giving him a career-high four picks.

Young finished 17 of 29 for 208

yards. McCoy got more chances than he did last Sunday against New England when he touched the ball just 14 times, a number that drew criticism from Eagles fans believing the leading rusher in the NFL deserved more opportunities.

McCoy finished with 84 yards on 17 carries and added another four catches for 49 yards. But he was upstaged by Lynch.

For the fourth time in five games, Lynch topped 100 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the one time he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, he finished with 88 yards in a victory over St. Louis. He had 90 yards by halftime on Thursday night, the most first-half yards rushing in his career. He averaged 6.7 yards per carry and almost immediately provided a spark the Seahawks needed on a short week.

And he did it while battling an upset stomach that occasionally forced him to the sideline.

It was the second-most yards rushing in Lynchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, behind the 153 yards he had in his rookie season with Buffalo against Cincinnati.

West Virginia rallies, shares Big East title

Aggies coach Sherman out at Texas A&M COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Sherman was fired as Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach Thursday after the Aggies finished the regular season a disappointing 6-6.

Athletic director Bill Byrne announced the move in a statement.

Sherman, 25-25 in four seasons at A&M, had three years remaining on his contract and the buyout will be about $5.8 million. He was given a one-year extension to his original contract in July, but it was never executed.

He was hired at the end of the 2007 season three days after Dennis Franchione resigned.

His best and only winning Sherman season came last year when the Aggies won their last six regular-season games and finished 9-4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate coach Shermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selfless service to Texas A&M as our head football coach and his tireless efforts in building leaders of character,â&#x20AC;? Byrne said in the statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is truly one of the great offensive minds in football, both collegiate and professional, and I know that he has much to offer the game of football in the future.â&#x20AC;?

Byrne said he would talk with the assistant coaches to decide who will serve as the interim coach for Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowl game. He also hopes to meet with the team and remaining staff today.

Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin thanked Sherman for his contributions to the program and said he created a â&#x20AC;&#x153;solid foundation for Texas A&M to build upon in the future.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Decisions of this nature are never easy, and I appreciate the patience of Aggies everywhere as we carefully evaluated the current state of our football program and the prospects for the future,â&#x20AC;? Loftin said.

The school hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t named any candidates, but possible replacements could include Houston coach Kevin Sumlin or Louisville coach Charlie Strong. Sumlin, who has led the seventh-ranked Cougars to a 12-0 record, was an assistant at A&M from 2001-02. Strong also spent time with the Aggies, working as a graduate assistant in 1985.

The Aggies entered this season with 18 returning starters, a top 10 ranking and were expected to contend for the Big 12 championship and be a factor in the national title hunt.

Instead they lost early games to Oklahoma State and Arkansas after holding double-digit halftime leads to fall to 2-2.

They won three in a row after their first skid, but a three game losing streak, which included two overtime losses, ensured the Aggies of a mediocre season.

TAMPA, FLA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tavon Austin returned a kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown, Pat Miller scored on a 52-yard interception return and Tyler Bitancurt kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired, helping No. 22 West Virginia clinch a share of the Big East championship with a 30-27 victory over South Florida on Thursday night.

The Mountaineers (9-3, 5-2) pulled even with Louisville in the conference standings and likely will receive the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s automatic berth in the Bowl Championship Series if Cincinnati beats Connecticut on Saturday to create a three-way tie for the title.

USF (5-7, 1-6) finished its season on a three-game losing streak and failed to qualify for a bowl bid for the first time in seven years.

Geno Smith set up Bitancurtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third field goal of the night with a 26-yard completion to Stedman Bailey on fourth-and-10 from the USF 42. The West Virginia quarterback also led an 11-play, 78-yard drive that Dustin Garrison finished with a 5-yard TD run to make it 20-all with just more than 5 minutes to go.

The Mountaineers, who fell behind 2720 when JaQuez Jenkins returned an interception 24 yards for USFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last touchdown, began the winning drive from their own 26 after Najee Goode forced a fumble by Bulls quarterback B.J. Daniels.

Daniels returned from a shoulder injury to throw for one touchdown and run for another. Jenkins gave the Bulls their only lead of the game.

Louisville earned its share of the league title by beating USF last week. The Cardinals hold the tiebreaker over West Virginia if the race ends in a two-way tie, but the Mountaineers likely will receive the coveted BCS berth if Cincinnati beats UConn at home to force a three-way deadlock.

Under that scenario, the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCS spot goes to the team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranked highest in the final BCS rankings. That should work out for West Virginia, the only one of those teams that was ranked this week.

KU MEN’S BASKETBALL

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

T-Rob cashes in free throws

Veritas girls win opener; boys fall to Flint Hills

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University junior power forward Thomas Robinson, who hit 11 of 13 free throws Wednesday against Florida Atlantic, has made 71.4 percent of his attempts this season.

That’s noticeably better than free-throw marks of 39.5 percent and 51.0 percent his first two seasons at KU. “Well, I changed what I do,” said Robinson, whose form ap- Robinson pears to be more fluid through six games, “but, I mean, coach (Bill Self) made it a must that nobody help me this summer. It was just a confidence thing. He always says, ‘Be a man and knock down the free throws.’

“Quite frankly, I didn’t do anything this summer I didn’t do over the past two summers as far as free throws. It’s being on the floor more and being more comfortable and the fact if I miss a free throw now, it matters. The past few years it didn’t quite matter if I missed a free throw or not.”

Robinson — he made 6-of10 versus Georgetown, 1-of-

1 against UCLA and 4-of-6 against Duke last week in Hawaii — seems determined to possess the right mindset at the line his junior season.

“I shot the ball great in the offseason last year and got in the game, and unfortunately it didn’t transfer over,” Robinson said. “It’s all mental. If you have big enough heart you’ll step up to the line and knock the free throws down.”

Decision day: Andrew White, a 6-6, 210-pound small forward from Miller School in Charlottesville, Va., says he will announce his college choice at 4 p.m., Central time, today.

White, who averaged 19.2 points and 7.0 rebounds a game last season, has made official visits to KU, West Virginia, Louisville and Texas. He’s made unofficial visits to Richmond and North Carolina State and also is considering Virginia Tech.

Competing for the Under Armour-sponsored “Team Loaded” with N.C. State commit Tyler Lewis, White exploded for 27 points versus the New Jersey Playaz at the Pitt Jam Fest last AAU season. He averaged 19.8 points a game at the Memorial Day Weekend Tournament of Champions.

“White showed off an excellent mid-range game (at Pitt

Jam) as well as the ability to knock down the three pointer.

He also did an excellent job of putting the ball on the floor and attacking the basket,” wrote terpsinsider.com.

Rivals.com’s Jerry Meyer reported on Twitter on Thursday: “Good source telling me prob(ably) Kansas for White.”

Rivals.com’s No. 56-rated player started his high school career at Thomas Dale High in Chester, Va., moving over to the Miller School for his junior campaign.

Package deal?: Isaiah Lewis, a 6-3 junior point guard from Christ the King High in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Brannen Greene, a 6-7 junior forward from Mary Persons High in Forsyth, Ga., are friends who are both considering KU. Greene is ranked No. 35 and Lewis No. 52 in the Class of 2013.

“He really likes Kansas as well as I do. We could end up at Kansas if that’s possible,” Lewis told Zagsblog.com.

Lewis said KU, Memphis and Louisville were recruiting the duo the hardest with Florida, Florida State and St. John’s on the lists of both players.

“We really like each other’s game. We think we can do well in the backcourt together,” Lewis said.

KU is also recruiting No. 34-rated Tyler Ennis, 6-2 junior point guard from St. Benedict’s High in Newark, N.J. Ennis is originally from Canada.

“He’s more of point guard so I’m more like a point guard so I really think I don’t want to go to the same school as him,” Lewis told Zagsblog.com. “But if a school can make it work starting two guards, maybe something like that could work out but I don’t see me and him going in the same direction as me and Brannen Greene.”

Reunion: KU’s 1965-66 team will celebrate the 45th anniversary of its Big Eight championship season this weekend and be recognized during Saturday’s KU-South Florida game, set for a 4:15 p.m. tip in Allen Fieldhouse.

Coach Ted Owens’ Jayhawks went 23-4 overall and 13-1 in the league. KU fell to Texas Western, 81-80, in double overtime in the NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional finals.

Two members of the squad — Walt Wesley (20.7 ppg, 8.8 rpg) and Jo Jo White (11.3 ppg) — have had their jersey numbers retired. Al Lopes, Delvy Lewis and Ron Franz averaged 12.4, 10.9 and 9.6 ppg respectively.

Goodrich came up big on both ends, dishing out eight assists and getting four steals to go along with her 15 points.

The Jayhawks, who al-

ready lead the country in field-goal percentage, continued their torrid pace, hitting 56.9 percent of their shots.

They also held the Mustangs to 35.1 percent.

As well as Kansas played, coach Bonnie Henrickson said the team’s turnovers still

bother her. Kansas lost the ball 20 times on Thursday and hasn’t had fewer than 17 turnovers all season.

“We get lackadaisical,” Henrickson said. “We always hope our passes will get there, and we can’t throw those balls.”

“You tell a coach you like a sophomore, you go back that next year and that junior already knows you like him,” CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B Ruel said. “And tell the kid said of the quarterback. you’re recruiting not to talk “You can’t say, ‘I’m going to about your school.

Ruel believes.

“If you’re going to sacrifice “Traditional doesn’t get recruiting ability, do it on it done,” Ruel said. “Oregon coordinators.” was running a traditional Every recruiting visit offense in the Pac-10 and to a school, he said, must getting their butts beat on involve asking about juniors a regular basis.

come up with an equalizer to the talent at USC?’ Where you nullify some of those good players is you put the ball out on the perimeter, out in space. It can look a little herky-jerky at times, but eventually things pop.”

Kansas popped under strict disciplinarian head coach Mark Mangino, with the undersized Reesing running offensive coordinator Ed Warinner’s spread attack. Pairing that with Bill Young’s defense, which included several Dave Doeren recruits, led to a 12-1 season and an Orange Bowl victory.

Before that, the last double-digit victory total came 12 seasons prior, when Ruel worked under Mason for a 10-2 record. Nobody’s in the mood to wait until 2019 for another double-digit victory total.

Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger didn’t land the coach who would have won the press conference and games. Mike Leach went to Washington State. Now the issue isn’t winning the press conference, just winning games at a school that has lost 23 of its past 24 Big 12 games.

Basketball season has finally arrived for Lawrence High.

Both the boys and girls open the 2011-12 season tonight, though not at the same venue.

At 7 p.m., the Lions’ boys will play host to Junction City. Meanwhile, at the same time, in Kansas City, Kan., the LHS girls will play at K.C.-Wyandotte.

Lawrence’s boys went 8-14 last season. The LHS girls were 6-15.

Ellen Phillips added five points and 10 rebounds for the Eagles, who will play Salina Smoky Valley in the semifinals at 1:30 p.m. today.

“For our first game, with several new girls worked into the mix, it took us a while to get going,” Veritas coach Kevin Shelton said. “It was nice to play a game and do some of the things we’ve been working on in practice. I was pretty proud of the them for their first game tonight.”

reportedly has told some people that he, too, is interested in KU. These well-known names merely add star-power to KU’s growing list, which also might include Mark Stoops, 44, (Florida State defensive coordinator), Dave Doeren, 39, (Northern Illinois), Sonny Dykes, 42, (Louisiana Tech), Dave Christensen, 50, (Wyoming) and Brent Venables, 40, (Oklahoma defensive coordinator), among others.

While the salaries of KU’s likely targets range anywhere from $370,000 to $2 million per year, KU appears to be ready and willing to pay whatever it takes.

“Money will not be a barrier to attracting the right coach,” KU associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said.

tenure, it appears the Seahawks might finally be on track.

Seabury had neither a full schedule nor any kind of postseason the past two years, but things are different now, with a 16-game varsity schedule and postseason eligibility intact.

“For the last two years,” Bridson said, “it’s really been about building and learning and growing.”

The problem with all of that, Bridson added, is that the Seahawks don’t have much game-time experience at this point, other than some match-ups against junior varsity teams, with a handful of varsity games thrown in.

Seabury has just two seniors — Alyson Oliver and Hannah Spomer — on its roster, but the Seahawks have a

Flint Hills Christian 42, Veritas boys 37 MANHATTAN — Veritas Christian School’s boys basketball team fell to Flint Hills, 42-37, on Thursday in the first round of the Shea Tournament.

Andrew Currier scored 11 points and Eric Shin 10 for Veritas (0-1).

“There were first-game jitters, a lot of mistakes and missed assignments. Hopefully we’ll settle down tomorrow and play better,” coach Gary Hammer said.

“We were down 13 at half and got within three points. I was proud of the way we battled and made a game of it in the fourth quarter.”

Veritas will play Salina Smoky Valley at 3:15 p.m., today.

Veritas scoring — Brody Robinson 3, Elijah Penny 7, Peter Shin 2, Andrew Currier 11, Eric Shin 10, Caleb Holland 2, Thomas Bachert 2.

Flint Hills scoring — Catterson 10, Ferguson 10, Lowny 2, Eaves 10, Love 7, Shultz 3.

“

Money will not be a barrier to attracting the right coach.”

— Kansas University associate athletic director Jim Marchiony at USF and Fedora makes $685,000 at USM. Nutt made $2.75 million at Mississippi this year, Doeren makes $371,000 at NIU, Dykes makes $450,000 at La. Tech and Christensen makes $843,000 at Wyoming.

Salaries for current assistant coaches were not available.

During the past two seasons, KU paid former head coach Turner Gill $2 million per season, and, before that, former KU coach Mark Mangino increased his worth at KU to $2.3 million per year.

As for how high KU would go, a lot of that depends on the resume, experience and current salary of whichever man becomes KU’s next coach.

“That will be something that Sheahon and the chancellor (Bernadette Gray-Little) will decide,” Marchiony said.

talented pair of juniors who are expected to help lead the team. Bridson said Courtney Hoag, a transfer from Free State, and Alexa Gaumer have stood out as Seabury’s most experienced players.

“They’ve played basketball since they were itty-bitty, and it shows,” Bridson said.

“They’re both very naturally gifted.”

The Seahawks also figure to get contributions from juniors Raquel Dominguez, Padget Sutherland, Taylor Sweeney, Emilie Padgett and freshman Reilly Malone.

Considering where the program was when Bridson took over in 2009, she said the mental and physical growth of the players has been “astronomical,” and this season, full of new opportunities, will be important for the players.

“I hope that it’s validating for them,” she said, “and I hope they understand that their hard work has paid off.”

No. 1 Kentucky 81, St. John’s 59 LEXINGTON, KY. — Freshman Anthony Davis scored 15 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and had eight of a school-record 18 blocks in Kentucky’s victory over St. John’s.

Terrence Jones added 26 points and nine rebounds for the Wildcats (7-0), who head into a highly anticipated showdown with No. 5 North Carolina on Saturday on a high note after a stalwart defensive performance.

favors. It also is not safe to hand a 3-year-old a tongue depressor. We have stickers that are more appropriate.

When my children were little, I would never dream of opening containers in the doctor’s office. Is this appropriate behavior? Do people believe they are entitled to these supplies because of the cost of medical care? Or are they simply ignorant? — Baffled Nurse in Indiana anniesmailbox@comcast.net Dear Indiana: We’ve seen doctors and nurses give happen again? Can you for- these gloves and tongue degive them? If so, tell them that and put this behind you.

If not, decide whether you want to keep your job and your boyfriend because you won’t be able to trust either of them.

Dear Annie: I am a nurse at a walk-in clinic. When did it become OK for parents to help themselves to exam gloves and tongue depressors for the purpose of entertaining their children?

It is not unusual to walk into the exam room and find several gloves that have been blown up and are being batted around and children running around the room with tongue depressors in their hands. These medical supplies cost the facility money and are meant for medical use, not party

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

‘Charlie’ goes on the road; John Walsh returns A botched family vacation offers fodder for the holiday movie-length special “Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas” (7 p.m., Disney), featuring the cast of the Disney Channel favorite, “Good Luck Charlie.”

An impetuous decision strands mom (Leigh-Allyn Baker) and daughter (Bridgit Mendler) without a plane ticket and miles from their planned Palm Springs vacation. What better excuse for a quickie homage to “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” without the wit or chemistry of John Candy and Steve Martin?

The holiday theme might strike some as a tad tenuous at best. Like many Disney offerings, “Charlie” doesn’t need Christmas as an excuse to be loud, bright and aggressively cheerful.

Television legend John Walsh is back on a different night and network as “America’s Most Wanted” (8 p.m., Lifetime) returns to the regular schedule.

Since its debut on the fledgling Fox Network back in 1988, “Wanted” has contributed to the apprehension of more than 1,100 fugitives in the United States and 30 foreign countries, including 17 on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.

The new series “Starving Secrets With Tracey Gold” (9 p.m., Lifetime) follows. The “Growing Pains” star discusses her battle with eating disorders while helping others who are bulimic or anorexic.

Mixing ultra-violence and family dynamics, the four-episode British miniseries “The Take” (8 p.m., Encore, TV-MA) is a must for fans of gangster films from “Goodfellas” to “Scarface.” An appreciation of “The Long Good Friday” wouldn’t hurt.

Tom Hardy (”Warrior”) stars as Freddie Jackson, a common criminal released from prison in 1984 and eager to catch up with music, pop culture and everything else he’s missed out on during his stint behind bars. This includes time with his wife and any number of other women, married and single.

His ambition and manic impulsiveness are rather breathtaking as he takes his younger cousin Jimmy (Shaun Evans) along for a very bloody ride. Speaking of “bloody,” “The Take” features the slang and near-incomprehensible accents of London’s East End. It may require some effort to keep up, but Freddie has a brutally effective way of making himself understood.

“Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse” (9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., TBS) was the second-most-watched cable series last Friday, next to Discovery’s “Gold Rush.”

Tonight’s other highlights

The battle for the Republic continues on “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” (7 p.m., Cartoon Network).

Ronald Reagan plays a doomed football star and the subject of Pat O’Brien’s “Win one for the Gipper” speech in the 1940 sports biography “Knute Rockne, All American” (7 p.m., TCM).

Cupid’s arrow lands near Porcupine Creek on “Gold Rush” (8 p.m., Discovery).

A crook offers sound information on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

Actress Julie Harris is 86. Former Attorney General Edwin Meese III is 80. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is 72. Actress Cathy Lee Crosby is 67. Movie director Penelope Spheeris is 66. Actor Ron Raines is

pressors to children to keep them occupied, so it’s not a big stretch for parents to think it’s OK to do the same.

Those folks who are caught depressor-red-handed should be told not to do that in the future. Also, try posting a sign asking patients not to take these items. Otherwise, the best you can do is store them in a locked drawer or cabinet.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Friday, Dec. 2: This year learning how to express your not-sonice feelings effectively and not threaten others will become easy. You will put in a significant effort to reach this place. If you are single, you easily could tumble into a love-hate relationship. Take your time.

If you are attached, your vision of your life might be much different from your sweetie’s. Don’t judge. Try different styles. Pisces can be challenging.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Understand that you might be feeling the undercurrents of other people’s unacknowledged feelings. Others could be acting out. Tonight: Maintain an unusually low profile.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Decide what is too much effort and what is reasonable. The problem lies in getting a group consensus. Tonight: Only with pals.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Stay on top of work and demands.

Pressure builds between you and others. Tonight: A

must appearance.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) With as much anger being sprinkled left and right, you could be sarcastic or say something you might regret later.

Clear the air as fast as possible. Tonight: A very important talk over dinner.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Deal with people with whom you feel comfortable and from whom you can handle feedback. Anger seems to be the underlying tenet no matter who does what and no matter what others say.

Tonight: Share over dinner.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) Others seem to be on the warpath, but perhaps you are really the one sticking the pins in. Let someone know how you feel in a calm, quiet way.

Tonight: Listen to another version of the same story.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Walk right in.

Once you’re energized, you’ll get a lot done.

Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You leap over hurdles. Your smile lures in whatever you want.

Tonight: Frisky you.

BIRTHDAYS 62. Country singer John Wesley Ryles is 61. Actor Keith Szarabajka is 59.

Actor Dan Butler is 57.

Broadcast journalist Stone Phillips is 57. Actor Dennis Christopher is 56.

Actor Steven Bauer is 55.

Country singer Joe Henry

Understand that although you are feeling better than you have in a while, at times you could be caught between a rock and a hard place. Today exemplifies that issue.

Tonight: Know that others are under the gun, too.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Of all signs, you can mobilize anger and use it to enhance a situation. Do just that, and let others see different ways of expressing rage.

Tonight: Meet a friend at a preferred place.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You need to move forward and not get hung up on someone’s disagreeable accusations or feelings. Indicate a willingness to discuss a problem, but not in the manner this person wants. Tonight: Your treat.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You are feeling better than you have in a long time and may make a choice to proceed in a different direction. Others are disagreeable. Tonight: Your night to howl!

Dear Annie: I work for a major corporation, and I like my job. However, my boss has betrayed me.

She is single, and I wanted to set her up with a friend of my boyfriend. She sent me her picture, and my boyfriend asked me to send the pic to his phone so he could send it to his friend. Instead of doing that, however, he texted my boss all night long.

He asked her to be discreet and not tell me.

She showed me all of his text messages, and I broke up with him. A few months later, he apologized and said he was drunk when it happened, and we got back together. While we were apart, he washed the clothes I’d left there and packed them in a canvas bag. When he gave me the bag, I noticed it had my boss’s name on it in her own handwriting. That means she was at his place with an overnight bag.

I confronted her with this information, and she wouldn’t even make eye contact. She said I was crazy.

My boyfriend said the same thing. I need to know what to do. — Hurt and Confused in Torrance, Calif.

Dear Torrance: So, worstcase scenario, your boss and your boyfriend slept together. Do you believe it won’t
