Dem leader: Obama plans Tuesday visit to Kan.

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — President Barack Obama plans to travel to eastern Kansas next week to give a speech in Osawatomie, the state Democratic Party’s chairwoman said.

The historic town was where

former President Theodore Roosevelt gave his “New Nationalism” speech, which extolled the government’s role in promoting social justice and regulating the economy to help the poor and underprivileged. It also was the site of an 1856 battle between pro- and anti-slavery settlers.

ing,” Wagnon said. “It’s exciting when any president comes.”

In his 1910 speech, Roosevelt criticized some fellow Republicans for refusing to tackle the economic power of the wealthy and declared that the “destruction of special privilege” aided progress.

Two years later, Roosevelt broke

with fellow Republicans to run for president as the Progressive Party nominee, unsuccessfully seeking a third term.

The 1856 battle, which helped earn the territory the nickname “Bleeding Kansas,” included abolitionist John Brown and members of his family.

The base of the site is 43 feet below the normal river level. On Friday, a group of city officials met with Sarah Hill-Nelson, co-owner of Bowersock, and representatives of Kissick Construction to tour the site and to learn about progress being made toward completion of the plant.

Site for new hydroelectric plant shown off to city officials

Don’t tell Sarah HillNelson that hitting rock bottom is a bad thing.

Hill-Nelson, a co-owner of the Lawrence-based Bowersock Mills & Power Co., was so pleased with finding rock bottom that she hosted an event for city officials Friday to celebrate the fact. Construction crews have finished digging an approximately 50-footdeep hole for the company’s new hydroelectric power plant on the north bank of

the Kansas River.

“It feels good to finally be going up,” Hill-Nelson said.

About a dozen city officials from various departments, along with Commissioner Mike Dever, toured the construction site at the north end of Kansas River bridges in downtown Lawrence.

“How deep is the hole?” was the first question yelled by City Manager David Corliss over the sounds of rushing water and humming construction equipment.

Deep, is the simple answer. From the top of the levee, it is a little more

than 50 feet. Another way to think of it, though, is that construction crews working on the recently poured concrete slab are about 43 feet below the surface level of the Kansas River.

“It is probably the only time you would want to be that far below the Kansas River,” Hill-Nelson said.

Hill-Nelson told city leaders the $25 million project is still scheduled to open by December 2012.

The new plant will be in addition to the company’s existing hydroelectric plant on the south bank of the Kansas River. Bowersock will use the two

plants to produce electricity that will be bought by the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities in Kansas City, Kan. The construction project is shaping up to be one of the most unusual in Lawrence history. Crews with Kissick Construction have had to build a large coffer dam around the site to basically move the river away from the construction zone. And, yes, the process has involved a lot of mud.

“It has been a long, hard fight, but we’ve finally gotten to the bottom of it,” Please see BOWERSOCK, page 2A

Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said Friday that the man suspected of robbing Central National Bank on Wednesday had targeted the financial institution since last summer.

The district attorney has filed two counts of robbery against Elliot R. Werner, 25, Lawrence, in connection with the robbery earlier this week.

In addition, Branson said in court that prosecutors thought Werner attempted to rob the bank on July 13 and Nov. 25 and that he succeeded on July 14 and Wednesday.

Lawrence po- Werner lice and the FBI publicly released a photo of the suspect after the July 14 robbery at Central National, 603 W. Ninth St., but Friday was the first time Branson indicated the earlier robberies were linked to Wednesday’s robbery.

“We do anticipate filing additional charges for the earlier offenses, and we believe those charges would mean Mr. Werner is subject to long-term incarceration,” Branson said Friday in asking for a $250,000 bond.

Defense attorney Kevin Babbitt asked pro-tem judge James George to set bond at $50,000 because Werner would agree to electronic monitoring by a bonding company and live with his sister in Lawrence as he decides how to assist in his own defense.

George did order electronic monitoring if Werner posts bond, which he set at $150,000.

Commissioners at their weekly meeting will consider plans for a six-story hotel/apartment building at the southeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

Commissioners are expected to get pushed from both sides on the issue.

“I think what we’re dealing with is there are two different visions for downtown,” said Mayor Aron Cromwell. “One is more urban than the other.”

The project, proposed by a group led by Lawrence businessmen Doug Compton and Mike Treanor, previously has been rejected by the city’s Historic Resources Commission. But the project can continue to move forward if city commissioners give it a positive vote Please see DOWNTOWN, page 2A

There’s a good chance illegal drugs smuggled into the United States from Mexico will travel through Kansas, and maybe Lawrence, on their way to the East Coast, according to a recently released federal report.

“Kansas is kind of that gateway,” said Lt. Scott Herrington, spokesman for the Kansas Highway Patrol, which monitors Kansas highways.

She was born Feb. 23, 1924, in Lawrence, the daughter of William and Elizabeth Richardson Underwood.

Mrs. Green was a lifelong resident of Lawrence.

She was a member of Alvamar Ladies Bridge Club and had been a member of other groups, including a local quilting guild and several bowling teams at Royal Crest Lanes.

Mrs. Green was a homemaker.

She married Cecil B. Green on Jan. 2, 1943, in Lawrence. He preceded her in death Feb. 7, 2002.

She was also preceded in death by two sons, Jon Green in 1982 and Jim Green in 2007; three brothers; and one sister.

City Commissioner Mike Dever said he can see how the project — which would include an 81-room TownePlace by Marriott hotel, 36 apartments, and 120 underground parking spaces — could benefit downtown.

“But the big question is whether we will be setting a precedent for this type of development to occur on the edge of residential development,” Dever said. “That is pretty common in more urban areas but it is less common in smaller towns and cities.

“It basically boils down to how much impact do we want to have on adjacent landowners when we create urban development downtown? Once we do this, I think others will want to do it too. It is important that we create a positive trend.”

said Matt Rothermel, a project manager for Kissick.

About 700 gallons of water per minute are flowing through a temporary construction pipe that dumps into the Kansas River. The pipe is collecting both groundwater and river water that is entering the site.

Crews on Friday were wrapping the pipe with heat tape to ensure that it doesn’t freeze shut during the winter.

Stephen Hill — an owner of the company that dates back to his great-grandfather Justin D. Bowersock — said the project is a feat of engineering.

“We have told our engineers that this building has to be here for a minimum of two centuries, and we really mean that,” Hill said.

“It definitely will be here that long,” Rothermel said.

Some interesting facts about the project include:

Hill-Nelson said the completed building will stand a bit taller than the Kansas River bridges. HillNelson said the building will be about as tall as a tower — the one that previously has been connected to a cable that runs across the river — at the north end of the bridge.

If the Kansas River rises dramatically during the construction project, crews would be forced to flood their construction zone before the river

— City Commissioner Mike Dever aren’t opposed to the lot developing but instead think the site is more appropriate for a three- or four-story building. Developers have said making the building shorter ruins its financial feasibility.

Cromwell said he still needs more information before he can reach a decision on this project, but he said he thinks increasing the density of downtown and adding living units to the area is important for downtown’s future.

He also said adding density will be difficult to do on Massachusetts Street.

“We have a plan of leaving Massachusetts Street as historic and intact — and that is absolutely the right plan,” Cromwell said. “But I think ultimately it will lead to New Hampshire and Vermont streets having taller and more dense structures along them.”

City Commissioner Hugh Carter said he also supports the idea of more density in downtown but wants

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD to hear more information about why this particular site is the right location for a major project.

“It is going to be a challenge,” Carter said. “It probably won’t produce a winwin situation. But the bottom line is that I do think that the historic area of downtown is better preserved by ensuring that it will be healthy and vibrant in the future.

“Sometimes we try to make things a win-win, and we still don’t make either side happy, and we end up with a project that doesn’t have the impact we’re hoping for. I don’t want to do that here.”

In addition to neighbors, the project is expected to draw concern from historic preservationists. Preservationists are expected to remind commissioners that they are required to judge the project using different criteria from that used for many development projects.

Technically, the city will be conducting a quasi-judicial appeal hearing of the Historic Resources Commission’s rejection of the project.

The appeal standards call for commissioners to uphold the HRC’s decision, unless there is not a “feasible and prudent” alternative to the project.

Commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

County is a high priority for the team,” Lewis said.

But Lewis and Herrington said they didn’t have specific details about whether Lawrence is a hub, or major stopping point, for smugglers.

Curbing the flow of illegal drugs through the state is often a combined effort among state, federal and local law enforcement, Herrington said. One example is the I-135/I-70 Drug Task Force organized by the Saline and Dickinson County Sheriff’s Offices, formed in 1993.

Since then, the task force has seized more than $55 million worth of illegal drugs.

One trend in Kansas is an increase in the amount of

marijuana seized by the Kansas Highway Patrol, which nearly doubled between 2008 and 2010, up to more than 13,000 pounds last year.

Herrington also said officers are seeing other roads — such as Kansas Highway 4 and U.S. Highway 36 — utilized by smugglers trying to avoid law enforcement.

Regardless of how much they seize, it’s an uphill battle stopping drug traffickers, Herrington said.

“As soon as a trooper makes an arrest, there’s more coming,” he said.

and one who was a victim of both.

“I think they were relieved to have somebody arrested,” Branson said. “They had concerns that he may make bond.”

Werner, who Lawrence police officers apprehended Wednesday after a brief foot chase, could have faced federal charges for the robbery because the bank is FDICinsured, but Branson said he and federal prosecutors decided to proceed in state court because they believe he could face a stiffer prison sentence if convicted.

The two robbery charges Branson filed in connection with Wednesday’s incident are mid-level felonies that each carry from 31 months to 136 months in prison, but prosecutors are seeking to

file additional charges for the earlier incidents.

“Our ability to seek a lengthier sentence will come in the fact that we will seek a conviction in this case and a conviction in a second case where he will have an increased criminal history,” he said.

Branson said his office had seen cases in the past in which suspects return to a business they have robbed before.

“Robbery, by its very nature, is a violent crime,” the district attorney said, “with the potential for victims, witnesses and bystanders to be hurt. Therefore, that makes it a very serious crime in general.”

Party to push for Islamic Egypt Anticipating a strong presence in the new Egyptian parliament, ultraconservative Islamists outlined plans Friday for a strict brand of religious law, a move that could limit personal freedoms and steer a key U.S. ally toward an Islamic state.

Egypt’s election commission announced only a trickle of results from the first round of parliamentary elections and said 62 percent of eligible voters cast ballots in the highest turnout in modern history.

However, leaked counts point to a clear majority for Islamist parties at the expense of liberal activist groups that led the uprising against Hosni Mubarak, toppling a regime long seen as a secular bulwark in the Middle East.

The more pragmatic Muslim Brotherhood is poised to take the largest share of votes, as much as 45 percent. But the Nour Party, which espouses a strict interpretation of Islam in which democracy is subordinate to the Quran, could win a quarter of the house, giving it much power to affect debate.

Cain to make announcement today Rapidly becoming a mere footnote in the presidential race, Herman Cain sent mixed signals Friday on whether he would abandon his beleaguered White House bid today after a woman’s allegation of an extramarital affair.

He said he would make a “major announcement” on whether he would press on — at an event still being billed as the grand opening of a new headquarters.

It is the latest — and perhaps final — twist in a campaign saga that has taken the Georgia businessman from unknown longshot to surprise frontrunner to embattled tabloid subject.

He arrived at his suburban Atlanta home on Friday afternoon to talk with his wife of 42 years, Gloria, about whether to press on after his campaign was rocked by multiple sexual harassment allegations and this week’s claim that he had a 13-year affair.

He denies wrongdoing. It was their first face-to-face meeting since the allegation was made public.

As night fell, campaign aides who were optimistic earlier Friday that Cain would press on said privately they expected that he would exit the race.

KU Med Center situation not as smooth as regents may think

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

Several weeks ago, Kansas Board of Regents Chairman Ed McKechnie wrote a letter to the JournalWorld’s Public Forum in which he praised the accomplishments of Barbara Atkinson, executive vice chancellor of the Kansas University Medical Center and dean of the KU School of Medicine.

He said “the current leadership is to be commended.” He noted the “organizational change” at the KU Medical Center in which Atkinson will step down as dean of the School of Medicine once a new dean is selected and retire as executive vice chancellor in two years. McKechnie added, “this orderly transition will allow KU Med to make continued progress.”

The Pittsburg businessman, who was appointed to the regents by former Gov. Mark Parkinson, said the organizational change with Atkinson remaining for another two years as boss of the school was done with steady, thoughtful consideration and that he wanted the public to know the Board of Regents is “working hard, working together, to make the Med Center the best it can be.”

This sounds great, and the letter obviously was written to dispel any concerns the public might have about the leadership, vision and morale of the medical center

staff. It also was a way to send the message that the regents have been alert and on top of all that is going on at the medical school.

The fact is, the public has every reason to wonder whether the regents have had any idea what was going on at the school: the poor morale, frustration and dissatisfaction with Atkinson’s leadership. McKecnhie said he and KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little have had extensive discussions about the KU Medical Center.

If so, why didn’t they call for immediate changes and why would they allow Atkinson to remain as head of the medical center for another two years when the faculty is angry, disappointed and frustrated with how she runs things? Did the regents have any idea of the seriousness of the situation? Why did they allow Atkinson to determine the timing and conditions of her “organizational change”?

Rather than being on top of the situation, this is another case of the regents apparently being out of the loop on many facets of what is going on at KU, such as the recent serious troubles within the School of Business, the handling of the chancellor situation during the last four or five years of Robert Hemenway’s tenure and their total blindness to what was taking place under Lew Perkins’ leadership of the KU athletics department.

If they were not out of the loop, why didn’t they have the courage to take action and correct the situations? Will the public ever be told the results of the survey regents conducted among about 150 alumni, business leaders and other knowledgeable individuals at each regents university seeking opinions on the kind of job the presidents and chancellor were doing?

COMMENTARY Getting back to the current situation at the medical school. Although McKechnie wants the public to think everything is fine and well planned, a growing number of KU medical school faculty members are terribly concerned.

The following are direct quotes from distinguished faculty members of the school. It is understandable that they wish to have their names held in confidence, particularly in light of the way Atkinson rules the school and the fact she intends to remain as the senior official for another two years — courtesy of the chancellor and the regents. Here’s what faculty members are saying:

“Why can’t the Kansas Board of Regents act with the courage and

decisiveness of the Oregon education board (which recently fired the former KU provost who was serving as president of the University of Oregon)?”

“People are shocked she (Atkinson) plans to be here for another two years.”

“We have to wait two years to see what is going to happen.”

“There is nothing more the faculty can do; nothing has changed.

We had the courage and honesty to fill out the assessment of Atkinson.

What more can we do?”

“What is Doug Girod (senior associate dean) to do? She (Atkinson) trots him out as her successor but doesn’t follow through and it could be two years. How long will he stay?”

“The future of the school is hanging in the balance.”

“We are going to lose many of our excellent people if they are expected to wait for two years to find out who is going to be their boss.”

“The idea you could bring in someone from the outside and put them in charge to run the school is ridiculous. It would take them a year or more to find the bathrooms, not to mention to know all the players and how to run the school.”

“We are in a catastrophic state financially.”

“There is no faculty governance.”

“We probably will have good

people leaving in six months.”

“It is reported she (Atkinson) handpicked most of the members of the committee to find a new dean.”

“Don’t sell Atkinson short; she would like to be the chancellor.”

“The chancellor and/or the regents are in a state of paralysis … It’s like walking through Jell-O around here.”

What are the regents thinking, what is the chancellor thinking when Atkinson’s own faculty give her a vote of no confidence?

Their assessment of Atkinson is clear. The faculty have done everything they can. They have placed themselves on the line and said how bad it is and how she operates. “What more can we do?” they ask. Now it’s up to Gray-Little and the regents to demonstrate they have the courage and commitment to do what is necessary to make the school as good as possible.

So far, they are acting like the three monkeys with their eyes, ears and mouths covered, signaling they will see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil.

These firsthand assessments of the situation today at the medical school don’t indicate everything is fine and progressing in an orderly and timely manner, as McKechnie and some senior people on Mount Oread would like the public to believe.

Ex-soldier sentenced to probation Grant

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Douglas County judge Friday sentenced a 23-yearold former Fort Leavenworth soldier to serve one year on probation for buying cigarettes with money taken from two Kansas University students in a June 23 armed robbery on campus.

District Judge Paula Martin, following a plea agreement, ordered Brandon James Huggins to refrain from drinking alcohol while he’s on probation. Last month, Huggins pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor theft charge.

He had faced much more serious charges, including aggravated robbery and conspiracy.

After the original charges were filed, Huggins was dis-

charged from the Army.

His attorney, Sarah Swain, said the facts prosecutors used as the basis for his plea showed that her client was not involved in the armed robbery.

The two male KU students testified at an August preliminary hearing for Huggins and co-defendant Michael Martin Gerald that two men, whose faces were covered, robbed them at gunpoint as they walked early that morning along Memorial Drive behind Snow Hall.

Gerald, a childhood friend of Huggins, has pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery and was sentenced to serve 49 months in prison.

Attorneys said Gerald participated in an interview with law enforcement after the plea during which he said

Huggins was not involved in the robbery.

Swain also had criticized KU police and prosecutors for not looking into the possibility — based on Gerald’s second interview with police — that a third man who was with Gerald and Huggins was involved in the robbery instead of Huggins.

A KU police detective testified in August that authorities didn’t have probable cause to arrest the third man that night based on descriptions from the victims, the man’s size and build, and clothing he was wearing.

Assistant district attorney Deborah Moody said Friday that Gerald provided more forthright information after his guilty plea and that the original charges were filed based on information investi-

gators had immediately after the robbery.

Martin did ask Swain if Huggins, who is originally from North Carolina but has been living in the Kansas City area, could return to his post as a military police officer now that he has been convicted of a misdemeanor instead of the original charges.

Swain said it’s unlikely Huggins would appeal the decision to discharge him because he believed it was unfair Army officials kicked him out of the service while his Douglas County case was pending.

“It has taken a serious toll on him,” Swain said.

KU center studies link between BMI, Alzheimer’s

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

For years researchers weren’t sure what to make of studies showing that people who were overweight in middle age were at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, yet later in life a lower body mass index could be an early indicator of the disease.

Last week, the American Academy of Neurology published a study from Kansas University’s Alzheimer’s Disease Center that explored the connection between BMI and Alzheimer’s.

“We looked into it a little further to try to tease out why we see those sort of contradictions in literature,” said Jeffrey Burns, author of the study and co-

“

These people don’t have problems like forgetting to eat or putting director of KU Alzheimer’s a recipe together. More Disease Center.

The study showed that the is going on.” seemingly logical conclusion that people with early Alzheimer’s had a lower BMI because they weren’t remembering to eat wasn’t actually the case.

Instead, Burns said the findings suggest that Alzheimer’s could be more than just a brain disease and affect the whole body, including metabolic change.

The study examined more than 500 people with advanced brain imaging techniques that can look for biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease. Those biomarkers can be present in the brain

— Jeffrey Burns, author of the study and co-director of Kansas University’s Alzheimer’s Disease Center years before the first symptoms appear.

The study found that people with Alzheimer’s biomarkers — both those with no memory or thinking problems and those with mild cognitive impairment — have a lower BMI than those who did not have the biomarkers.

“These people don’t have problems like forgetting to eat or putting a recipe to-

gether,” Burns said. “More is going on.”

Not enough is known yet to say whether Alzheimer’s disease affects areas of the brain that control caloric intake and metabolism or whether it involves a larger systemwide change in the body.

But finding those answers could help develop strategies to intervene in and delay the disease.

“If we maintain our body weight through diet and increased calories, can we reduce the risk or reverse the process?” Burns asked.

That study will have to wait. Right now, Burns is working on a study that looks at the role exercise plays in Alzheimer’s.

and an additional 40,000 metric tons will be compressed and injected into the lower portion of the Arbuckle saline aquifer.

The water in the aquifer is too salty for human consumption and is separated from freshwater aquifers by thousands of feet of rock.

Both uses could be a boon to the local and state economy, said Lynn Watney, a senior scientific fellow at the Kansas Geological Survey.

He is the grant’s lead investigator, along with fellow KGS geologist Jason Rush.

Watney said the enhanced oil recovery process, which has been done in Texas for years and tested in an oil field near Russell, could yield 20 percent to 25 percent more oil than traditional methods.

The carbon sequestration in the aquifer is a newer process, though, and the project will work with industry partners to measure and collect data to determine its effectiveness.

“We’re basically on the leading edge — some might

say the bleeding edge — of what’s practical, what is essential and what can be effectively monitored,” he said.

The latest grant takes the total amount of Department of Energy funds devoted to the Kansas Geological Survey’s carbon sequestration research to about $23 million.

Rush said the carbon sequestration could have additional economic benefits for the state if cap-andtrade legislation ever gains approval.

“The main thing is we don’t want to be behind the curve,” Rush said. “If carbon trading does come down as legislation at some point, that could be an economic benefit for Kansas.”

The project is scheduled to operate over a period of about three or four years, Rush said, and is really a small-scale pilot project.

He said the total amount of carbon dioxide that will be injected represents a “fraction of a percent” of the capacity of the space that could be used in the oil field and the aquifer.

Town of Carry Nation OKs Sunday liquor sales

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Turnof-the-century teetotaler Carry A. Nation began her campaign against drinking by busting up saloons in Kansas, which to this day has some of the strictest liquor laws in the country.

But even in the town where her legacy is enshrined, the influence of the hatchet-wielding crusader is waning.

Residents in Medicine Lodge, where Nation lived for about a decade in the late 1800s and early 1900s and the site of the Carry Nation Home — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached Museum, approved a measure at 832-6352. this week to allow Sunday

liquor sales for the first time at least since Prohibition.

The vote, certified Friday, allows the sale of beer and liquor on all Sundays except Easter. In November 2010, voters in Barber County, where Medicine Lodge is located, also voted to legalize liquor by the drink in bars and restaurants.

Some see the moves to make liquor more accessible as progress in a state that has yet to ratify the Constitutional Amendment ending Prohibition. Others think the changes would enrage the town’s famous but long-dead resident.

BEAU

SARAFINA

Everyone says I’m “easy on the eyes.”

Whether it’s my handsome face, my physique, or my beautifully marked brindle coat, this 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier is an energetic guy ready to learn from an experienced owner. Cats, other dogs, and even kids aren’t really my thing. Loyalty and oneon-one love is what this Beau is all about. That’s what I can give, and you know what, that’s a heck of a deal.

It’s Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month, and I’ve got about a decade of experience now which means you’ll find me to be very calm, friendly and low maintenance. My big, bushy tri-color coat makes me one handsome woman, and you’ll want to rub me all day long. My former owners dropped me at the shelter, said they worked too much to care for me. That’s really sad because I don’t ask for much, except love. Maybe now you can give me a comfy home for my golden years?

EMILY

LADY

My “class clown” personality is so much fun. And I’m a pretty girl too, with a soft tan coat marked with white (including all four feet!). As a 1-yearold American Staffordshire Terrier I’m a bit on the small side at 35 pounds.

But I make up for size with a big heart, which makes me a great family dog, happy, and outgoing. And did I mention I’m smart? If you can teach me some new tricks, I’m ready to learn!

Now here’s a real Lady, long-haired and so lovely in my coat of many colors – chocolate and peaches ‘n cream. Must be those choice colors that make me so sweet, if you get my meaning. Elegant describes me, but warm, friendly, and loving really tell my story. My entire 6 years I’ve been all about people, which is why I look through my window every day hoping there’s someone to love this Lady.

NICHOLAS

MORTICIA

DUCKIE

At about 7 pounds, I’m just a little guy who’s big on fun! Attention? I can’t get enough. And love? I can’t give enough!

Don’t think me an ordinary black cat.

No way. The folks here say I have an “awesomely unique personality.”

What’s that mean? I guess the only way to learn my secret is to come meet me. I’m 3 to 5 years old, full of play, and as your best friend, I’m simply a “saint” (as in Nicholas!).

Some spooky eyes, huh? Don’t let them scare you away – I’m just trying to look somber, like my name, which doesn’t fit me at all. When I’m not mugging for the camera, I’m an adorable, funloving kitty, a bit laid back, and happy to share my space with other cats. If you want to see smiling eyes, just run your hand over my beautiful silky coat.

Ah, that’s smooth, that’s sweet, that’s special – that’s me!

If it quacks like a duck, it must be a... cat? Yep, that’s me. I think I meow, they think I quack. No matter, I’m quite the favorite around here. But I’m not a kid anymore, and at 5 to 7 years old, thoughts of home are always on my mind. I’m calm and relaxed, well mannered, and just a sweet boy to have around. “Petting time” is my best time, and when we share the love, I’m one lucky Duckie!

Lawrence police officers and detectives are continuing their investigation into a written bomb threat that led to canceled classes Thursday at Free State High School.

The threat had been taped to the front door at the school, 4700 Overland Drive. It was found early Thursday morning. Administrators canceled classes and evacuated the building shortly before 8 a.m., then worked with district leaders and police to be sure no explosives were in the building.

Free State classes resumed Friday, as police continued to work with district personnel to seek the person or people responsible for the crime.

“We are taking this very seriously because it affects the safety of our schools, staff and our children,” Sgt. Matt Sarna said.

Anyone with information regarding the threat may provide police with tips through the Crime Stoppers hot line, which is 785-843-TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to caller ID, and information leading to an arrest can result in a $1,000 reward.

Information also may be reported to the police department at 785-832-7650.

Police plan crackdown on drunken driving Kansas Highway Patrol plans to bring in extra troopers to Lawrence and Douglas County tonight in an effort to crack down on drunken driving and other traffic offenses, including speeding.

Lt. Keith Hudson said troopers will participate in a Roving Aggressive Violations Enforcement, or RAVE, funded with a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation. It’s an effort to get more troopers to patrol state highways in Douglas County and the Lawrence area. The KHP performs these operations in Kansas counties periodically and attempts to target several areas where many arrests or accidents have occurred in the past, he said.

“If you are drinking, make sure to get a sober driver,” Hudson said. “Just make arrangements to get home safely.”

Lawyer’s license suspended indefinitely TOPEKA — The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday suspended indefinitely the law license of longtime Lawrence attorney Shelley Kurt Bock.

The court said suspending Bock from the practice of law was appropriate given several previous disciplinary actions against him.

Last year, Bock’s license was temporarily suspended after an informal admonishment in 2009.

In 2008, his license to practice law was placed on probation.

A hearing panel of the Kansas Board for the Discipline of Attorneys determined that Bock had violated numerous portions of the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct.

He failed to represent several clients “with reasonable thoroughness and preparation.” Bock missed numerous court appointments and failed to communicate with clients and expedite litigation in the best interests of clients.

He also failed to provide information during disciplinary actions against him and provided misleading information, officials said.

“Basically, it resulted from being overwhelmed in the profession and trying to get through some depression,” Bock said Friday from London, where he is working on a master’s degree “in an effort to readjust my direction.”

“I’ve received a great deal of support from many of my peers and several local judges,” he said. “They have

Europe embraces German might

By David Rising Associated Press

BERLIN — For more than half a century, the legacy of World War II has meant that the mere mention of a new rise of German power sent shudders through European nations. Now, Germany is increasingly calling the shots for the entire continent — and few seem to mind.

Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski — whose nation lost millions of people in the Nazi invasion and occupation — shocked many this week when he made a dramatic appeal for greater German influence.

“You know full well that nobody else can do it,” he told a largely German audience in Berlin. “I will probably be the first Polish foreign minister in history to say so, but here it is: I fear German power less than I am beginning to fear German inactivity.”

European leaders are panicked over unsustainable debt that could take down the entire global economy.

From the streets to the halls of power, all eyes are trained on Germany — by far Europe’s biggest economy — to lead the continent out of crisis.

“Germany should take on a leadership role because right now, economically, it is the one that can,” said Nacho Criado, 31, on his way to his job laying fiber optic cable in downtown Madrid.

On Friday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel pushed forward with a Berlin-engineered action plan for containing Europe’s crisis, calling for tougher rules to keep national budgets under control. She set the agenda for next week’s critical European Union summit, saying it would grapple with a strategy to make sure countries follow the rules and write those changes into EU treaties.

At the same time she talked down any fears of German preeminence in Europe.

“Our guidelines for next week are clear, but it is important for me to say that they have nothing to do with fears or concerns that we are reading about or hear that Germany wants to dominate Europe or some such,” she said. “That is absurd.”

Woman claims St. Louis psychologist implanted horrific memories while seeking treatment ST. LOUIS — The memories that came flooding back were so horrific that Lisa Nasseff says she tried to kill herself: She had been raped several times, had multiple personalities and took part in satanic rituals involving unthinkable acts. She says she only got better when she realized they weren’t real.

Nasseff, 31, is suing a suburban St. Louis treatment center where she spent 15 months being treated for anorexia, claiming one of its psychologists implanted the false memories during hypnosis sessions in order to keep her there long-term and run up a bill that eventually reached $650,000. The

claims seem unbelievable, but her lawyer, Kenneth Vuylsteke, says other patients have come forward to say they, too, were brainwashed and are considering suing.

“This is an incredible nightmare,” Vuylsteke said.

Castlewood Treatment Center’s director, Nancy Albus,

and the psychologist, Mark Schwartz, deny the allegations.

Albus pledged to vigorously fight the lawsuit, which was filed Nov. 21 in St. Louis County and seeks the repayment of medical expenses and punitive damages. As in repressed memory cases, which typically involve allegations of abuse

LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION Agenda highlights • 6:35 p.m. Tuesday • City Hall, Sixth and Massachusetts streets • Knology Channel 25 • Meeting documents online at lawrenceks.org

Lease-purchase deal for police rifles to be discussed BOTTOM LINE City commissioners will consider approving a program that will allow police officers to purchase through the city certain types of rifles that officers then would carry with them in their patrol vehicles.

BACKGROUND The lease-purchase program basically would allow the city to buy the rifle and then the officer would repay the city through 26 automatic payroll deductions. The city has a similar program in place that allows officers to purchase their patrol pistols. The police department requires officers to purchase their patrol weapons because it believes officers will be more likely to practice with the weapons if they

own them and also that they will maintain them better.

The city is estimating each patrol rifle will cost about $1,600. The department has been allowing officers to carry patrol rifles since 2003, but there has not been a program in place to help them purchase the weapons. The City Commission considered the issue last month, but took no action after a member of the public asked for more time to study the issue.

House Republicans pass bill curbing regulation

By Larry Margasak Associated Press

WASHINGTON — In an ambitious gesture to their business allies, House Republicans passed legislation Friday to reduce what the GOP calls “an avalanche” of unneeded, costly regulations. Opponents call the bill an attempt to prevent the government from protecting Americans at their workplaces, in their homes and when they want a breath of fresh air.

The 253-167 vote sent the bill to the Democratic-run Senate, where it’s likely to die.

Just in case, the White House has issued a veto threat.

Republicans insist the mostly technical legislation would simply force federal agencies to follow presidential directives that have often been ignored — including seeking with the lowest cost.

The objective, the GOP says, is to allow companies to use their money to hire workers.

But Democrats, the White House, and government watchdog groups insist the aim is to get rid of aggressive rules approved by the Obama administration — regulations that businesses complain about constantly.

“America faces an avalanche of unnecessary federal regulatory costs,” Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, the House Judiciary Committee chairman, said during House debate. “Yet the Obama administration seeks to add billions more to that cost.”

Democratic Rep. George Miller of California denounced the bill, saying the U.S. has spent great time and effort “to ensure when workers go to work every day, they will return safely to their home.”

“This legislation begins to bring that to an end because it would needlessly and recklessly expose our workers to injuries,” said Miller, the senior Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee.

At this point, the fight over this and other anti-regulation bills approved by the GOPled House is mainly a 2012 campaign issue, since they have little chance in the Democratic-run Senate.

The GOP effort is not finished. Next week, the House is expected to pass a bill that would make it easier for Congress to kill proposed rules.

Republicans agree the bill passed Friday would have a major impact on regulators but argue that’s because it’s not difficult for agencies to ignore presidential directives that don’t have the force of law. Supporters and opponents agree on the major impact, but not much else.

The opponents insist the bill would require agencies to consider any suggestions by interested parties, allowing opponents to dial up their lobbyists to keep offering changes and delaying a proposed rule. Republicans disagree, saying there’s no change in the 60-day comment period for minor regulations and 120 days for major rules projected to cost at least $100 million.

The bill would require an earlier analysis of costs and benefits, a provision that opponents argue would lead to misinformation that could cause delays. Republicans counter that agencies now misuse the analysis to justify the decisions they already made.

Opponents object to additional proceedings for rules with a projected cost of more than $1 billion. Republicans argue there are only seven such regulations pending, including a now-delayed rule on boiler emissions. They said the hearing could be scheduled quickly and would not have to delay the final action.

Until now, Republicans have focused on derailing specific rules and regulations from the Obama administration, many of them from the Environmental Protection Agency. The latest effort, and the next bill giving Congress greater control over regulations, would cover the entire federal government.

Unemployment rate drops

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The unemployment rate, which has refused to budge from the 9 percent neighborhood for two and a half frustrating years, fell sharply in November, driven in part by small businesses that finally see reason to hope and hire.

Economists say there is a long way to go, but they liked what they saw.

The rate fell to 8.6 percent, the lowest since March 2009, two months after President Barack Obama took office.

Unemployment passed 9 percent that spring and had stayed there or higher for all but two months since then.

DILBERT

The country added 120,000 jobs in November, the Labor Department said Friday.

Private employers added 140,000 jobs, while governments cut 20,000.

The economy has generated 100,000 or more jobs five months in a row — the first time that has happened since April 2006, well before the Great Recession.

“Something good is stirring in the U.S. economy,” Ian Shepherdson, an economist at High Frequency Economics, said in a note to clients.

The stock market rallied at the opening bell, after the report came out, but finished flat for the day. It was still up 787 points for the week. The only bigger point gain in a week

was in October 2008, when stocks lurched higher and lower during the financial crisis.

The report showed that September and October were stronger months for the job market than first estimated.

For four months in a row, the government has revised job growth figures higher for previous months.

September was revised up by 52,000 jobs, for a gain of 210,000. October was revised up by 20,000, for a gain of 100,000.

Unemployment peaked at 10.1 percent in October 2009, four months after the Great Recession ended. It dipped to 8.9 percent last February and 8.8 percent last March but otherwise was at or above 9 percent.

Gingrich, Romney pose unpalatable choice WASHINGTON — It’s Iowa minus one month, and barring yet another resurrection, or something of similar improbability, it’s Mitt Romney versus Newt Gingrich. In a match race, here’s the scorecard: Romney has managed to weather the debates unscathed. However, the brittleness he showed when confronted with the kind of informed followup questions that Bret Baier tossed his way Tuesday on Fox’s “Special Report” — the kind of scrutiny one doesn’t get in multiplayer debates — suggests that Romney may become increasingly vulnerable as the field narrows.

Moreover, Romney has profited from the temporary rise and spontaneous combustion of Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain. It required no exertion on Romney’s part.

Enter Gingrich, the current vessel for anti-Romney forces — and likely the final one. Gingrich’s obvious weakness is a history of flipflops, zigzags and mind changes even more extensive than Romney’s — on climate change, the health care mandate, cap-and-trade, Libya, the Ryan Medicare plan, etc.

The list is long. But what distinguishes Gingrich from Romney — and mitigates these heresies in the eyes of conservatives — is that he authored a historic conservative triumph: the 1994 Republican takeover of the House after 40 years of Democratic control.

Charles Krauthammer

“

letters@charleskrauthammer.com

This is a weak Republican field with two significantly flawed front-runners contesting an immensely important election.”

Which means that Gingrich’s apostasies are seen as deviations from his conservative core — while Romney’s flip-flops are seen as deviations from ... nothing. Romney has no signature achievement, legislation or manifesto that identifies him as a core conservative.

So what is he? A center-right, classic Northeastern Republican who, over time, has adopted a specific, quite bold, thoroughly conservative platform. His entitlement reform, for example, is more courageous than that of any candidate, including Barack Obama. Nevertheless, the party base, ostentatiously pursu-

ing serial suitors-of-the-month, considers him ideologically unreliable.

Hence the current ardor for Gingrich.

Gingrich has his own vulnerabilities.

The first is often overlooked because it is characterological rather than ideological: his own unreliability. Gingrich has a self-regard so immense that it rivals Obama’s — but, unlike Obama’s, is untamed by self-discipline.

Take that ad Gingrich did with Nancy Pelosi on global warming advocating urgent government action. He laughs it off today with “that is probably the dumbest single thing I’ve done in recent years. It is inexplicable.”

This will not do. He was obviously thinking something. What was it?

Thinking of himself as a grand worldhistorical figure, attuned to the latest intellectual trend (preferably one with a tinge of futurism and science, like global warming), demonstrating his own incomparable depth and farsightedness.

Two ideologically problematic finalists: One is a man of center-right temperament who has of late adopted a conservative agenda. The other, more conservative by nature, is possessed of an unbounded need for grand display that has already led him to unconservative places even he is at a loss to explain, and that as president would leave him in constant search of the outof-box experience — the confoundedly brilliant Nixon-to-China flipperoo regarding his fancy of the day, be it

Rude behavior To the editor: I did not vote for Sam Brownback and oppose many of his policies. Nonetheless, I find the recent admiration for rude behavior wrong. Emma Sullivan has a perfect right to tweet what she wants. True, Brownback’s staff should have ignored the tweet. If a member of the national championship basketball team meets with President Obama and tweets during that meeting a similar type of remark “hesucksalot,” I suspect that university will not just say kids will be kids. There would be repercussions. If Ms. Sullivan despised Brownback so much, then she shouldn’t have attended the conference or she should have held her tweet for a later time.

health care, taxes, energy, foreign policy, whatever.

The second, more obvious, Gingrich vulnerability is electability.

Given his considerable service to the movement, many conservatives seem quite prepared to overlook his baggage, ideological and otherwise.

This is understandable. But the independents and disaffected Democrats upon whom the general election will hinge will not be so forgiving.

They will find it harder to overlook the fact that the man who denounces Freddie Mac to the point of suggesting that those in Congress who aided and abetted it be imprisoned, took $30,000 a month from that very same parasitic federal creation. My own view is that Republicans would have been better served by the candidacies of Mitch Daniels, Paul Ryan or Chris Christie.

Unfortunately, none is running. You play the hand you’re dealt. This is a weak Republican field with two significantly flawed front-runners contesting an immensely important election. If Obama wins, he will take the country to a place from which it will not be able to return (which is precisely his own objective for a second term).

Every conservative has thus to ask himself two questions: Who is more likely to prevent that second term?

And who, if elected, is less likely to unpleasantly surprise?

ways universally applauded the president when he enters to give the State of the Union speech, regardless of their political party. Recently a congressman was admonished for yelling “he lied” at Obama. He should have been admonished. I thought principal Krawitz did the right thing, asking for an apology. Inappropriate behavior should have consequences. Ms. Sullivan will find that with her future jobs, if such behavior continues.

Brownback’s staff did not go to the media. They reported the behavior to Statehouse for a Youth in Government, which went to principal Krawitz.

Marlon Brando was one of our greatest actors, but he lost a lot of friends by having a protester represent him at the Academy Awards. The venue was wrong for his actions.

Shakespeare’s complexity compounds mysteries The film “Anonymous” is the most recent installment of the ongoing argument about who wrote the plays attributed to William Shakespeare. It restates the theory that the real author was Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. Although there is no concrete evidence for this claim, it persists, due to distaste for the notion that a bumpkin from Stratford could create some of the world’s greatest literature. Only someone with a privileged education could write such lofty works. Only an aristocrat could have written so knowingly about kings and queens.

Study of the grammar school curriculum of Shakespeare’s time — more challenging than most colleges offer today — refutes the idea that the bard would have lacked education. Elizabethan playwrights and actors performed before the court and had sufficient contact with aristocrats to know their traits. Many of Shakespeare’s immortal characters are members of the lower class, who would likely have been foreign to an aristocratic author.

But the most compelling argument against the Earl of Oxford is the obvious one: The author of the plays had to be a professional man of the theatre. Hamlet’s expert advice to the players could only have been articulated by a man who directed plays. Imagery comparing the world to a stage and human beings to actors permeates Shakespeare’s works.

Even the Oxfordians admit that in-

George Gurley volvement in the theatre would have been beneath the station of an aristocrat. How then could an Oxford have gained such familiarity with the nuts, bolts, and lifeblood of the stage? By the way, Edward de Vere died before some of Shakespeare’s most important plays were written.

In a biting parody of this futile quest to unseat Shakespeare, drama critic Terry Teachout asked who wrote the music of Bach: “Not the man from Leipzig. It is self-evidently absurd to suppose that an overworked church organist with 20 children could possibly have had enough brain power (or spare time) to will into existence such supreme utterances of Western art.” Moreover, all Bach ever talked about “was money.”

In other words, there are many great artists about whom we know as little as we do about Shakespeare.

More pertinent than phantom rivals is the fact that Shakespeare collaborated with other playwrights. Some passages in his plays were undoubt-

sonnets suggest that he was betrayed by his mistress and a friend, which may have darkened his feelings about love. In his later plays, he obsessed on jealousy and expressed misogyny and outright sexual revulsion. Hamlet, as Ernest Jones pointed out, is more tormented by his mother’s adultery than the murder of his father. He vents an almost ecstatic disgust at the “rank sweat” of her bed, “stewed in corruption, honeying and making love over the nasty sty.” King Lear’s tirade against the female sex still shocks: “Though women all above ... Beneath is all the fiend’s: there’s hell, there’s darkness, there is the sulpherous pit.”

In a way, “Anonymous” is an apt title for a movie about Shakespeare. A writer so complex and protean can never be truly known. “The more one reads and ponders the plays of Shakespeare, the more one realizes that the accurate stance towards them is one of awe,” wrote Bloom. “The plays remain the outward limit of human achievement.”

Bloom went so far as to credit Shakespeare with “inventing the human.”

Jorge Borges virtually deified Shakespeare and imagined God addressing him as an equal: “I have dreamt the world as you dreamt your work, my Shakespeare, and among the forms in my dream are you, who like myself are many and no one.”

— George Gurley, a resident of rural Baldwin City, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

edly written by others. Moreover, there are no absolutely reliable original manuscripts and in some cases serious discrepancies exist between Shakespearean manuscripts.

More worthy of study than any of these issues is the question, “What sort of man was Shakespeare?” Hints can be gleaned from the plays and the spotty historical records. He was somewhat litigious and preferred drinking to eating, according to Harold Bloom. His purchase of a coat of arms suggests that he was something of a social climber. More seriously, he was an instinctive adversary of orthodoxy and dogma. Shakespeare’s mind operated “always by antithesis,” wrote Helen Vendler. “As soon as he thinks of one thing, he thinks of something that is different from it.”

His villains often have a certain appeal and his heroes their dark side.

He abhorred mobs but also mistrusted authority. Perhaps the most interesting thing about Shakespeare is that he seems to have believed in nothing. In fact, “nothing” was one of his favorite words. “Nothing can come of nothing,” said King Lear.

Life, said Macbeth, is “a tale told by an idiot signifying nothing.”

More than any other great writer, Shakespeare was the poet of love and its sexual associations. He had a weakness for bawdy puns but he also created sublime expressions of romantic love, such as “Romeo and Juliet.” His

Lawsuits on abortion rules moving slower

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Two lawsuits challenging attempts by Kansas to impose special regulations for abortion providers are moving more slowly than initially expected, with the state still blocked from enforcing its rules by judges in federal and state courts.

But the changes in timetables for both cases aren’t a concern, Bonnie Scott Jones, an attorney for the New Yorkbased Center for Reproductive Rights, said Friday. The center is representing Dr. Herbert Hodes and his daughter, Dr. Traci Nauser, who perform abortions at their offices in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park.

“We believe that both cases are proceeding appropriately,” Jones said.

The attorney general’s office declined comment.

The state Department of Health and Environment wanted to have rules in effect July 1, spelling out the

drugs, equipment and staffing abortion providers must have on hand. Hodes and Nauser filed a federal lawsuit in late June.

The department revised its rules last month, and Hodes and Nauser filed a separate lawsuit in Shawnee County District Court, without dropping their case in federal court. Jones declined to discuss the strategy behind filing separate cases.

In state court, District Judge Franklin Theis had planned a Tuesday hearing on whether his injunction against the rules would continue. He decided last week to instead hold a short conference with attorneys to handle scheduling issues and determine the status of the case.

In federal court, U.S. Magistrate Karen Humphreys had told the parties to submit an analysis of the differences between the two sets of regulations by Nov. 28. But after the state court case was filed last week, she cancelled the deadline and set a status conference for Jan. 17.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Prep F White commits to KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Virginia high school basketball sensation Andrew White capped one of the most memorable days of his life by scoring 23 points in Miller School’s 8055 home victory over Woodberry Forest on Friday night in Charlottesville, Va. The game followed a pair of ceremonies in which the 6-foot6, 210-pound senior small forward orally committed to play basketball at Kansas University — the first at a television station in nearby White Richmond; the second in MillSchool’s TAKING ON er lobby, prior to THE BULLS the game.

“It was a What: Kansas very exciting University (4-2) day. It’s good vs. South Florida to make my (5-3) college decision and to When: 4:15 p.m. know where today I’m going,” Where: Allen said White, RiFieldhouse vals.com’s No. TV: ESPN2 (Knol- 56-rated playogy Cable chaner, who chose nels 34, 234) the Jayhawks over North Carolina State, For starters and a preview of the Virginia Tech, Virgame, see page 3B West ginia, Richmond, Texas, Georgetown and others.

“It’s a great opportunity to focus on my game, relax, keep enjoying basketball, school and living a normal high school life,” added White.

He said he chose KU primarily “because of the opportunity. It wasn’t because of the hype that comes with Kansas. Seeing them play on TV, I see an opportunity to play as a freshman, and their style fits my strengths.”

Specifically ... “I like the spacing of how they run their offense. They have multiple guards that have a lot of versatility. That’s a skill I’d like to perfect. That system fits my game, my style,” White added.

First-team all-stater White, who averaged 19.2 points and

None of us gets to sit down with the candidates interested in the Kansas University football job, yet that doesn’t keep us from having strong reactions to hires.

When it comes to sports, many of us think with our hearts. It’s KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger’s job to think with his head and his gut when pulling the trigger on the most important decision of his professional life.

Taking the pulse of those who want to see Zenger make a great hire leads to interesting revelations. The most consistent, most baffling tendency of many is to get far more excited about a defensive/offensive coordinator/ guru from a big-name school than a former defensive/offensive coordinator/guru from a big-name school who has gone on to do impressive things at a lesser football school.

TD drought frustrating to Chiefs KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chiefs coach Todd Haley doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the answer for his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touchdown drought, perhaps because there is none. It seems almost impossible, after all.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more than two full games, 143 miserable minutes, since the Chiefs turned a drive into a touchdown. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve managed just one during a four-game losing streak, the worst stretch since the Cleveland Browns scored one touchdown during a similar four-game debacle in 2008.

Sure, quarterback Matt Cassel is out for the season because of an injured throwing hand, and tight end Tony Moeaki has missed the whole year because of a torn left ACL, the same injury that dropped AllPro running back Jamaal Charles in the second game of the season. The offensive line has been bullied and bruised, and a perilous lack of depth across the board has been exposed.

But the fact remains that plenty of teams with uncertain quarterback situations and a plethora of injuries have managed to score a touchdown â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least one measly touchdown â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in nine quarters of play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a number of things, really, in the last couple of games that kept us from winning,â&#x20AC;? Haley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But at the same time I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important when you have games, losses, tough losses specifically, that you understand why you lost the game.â&#x20AC;?

Turnovers would be a good place to start.

Since taking over for Cassel, journeyman backup Tyler Palko has turned the ball over seven times by himself. During one awful three-play sequence in last Sunday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13-9 loss to Pittsburgh, Palko fumbled a snap and threw back-to-back interceptions.

The Chiefs are minus-5 in turnover margin this season after going plus-9 last season, when they surprised just about everyone in the league by winning the AFC West. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like nothingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working on offense,â&#x20AC;? Palko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a lot of good things. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just unfortunate the things weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not doing well are getting magnified.â&#x20AC;?

The Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; running game, which led the league last season, has been a hodgepodge of fill-ins that include a 170-pound firecracker who seems to fall down in a stiff wind (Dexter McCluster), a 33-yearold whose best days are seemingly behind him (Thomas Jones) and an undrafted guy out of Houston whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the team mostly because of his special teams ability (Jackie Battle).

The result is a rush offense that has managed three touchdowns all season â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one by Battle, one by fullback Leâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ron McClain and one by, of all people, defensive back Javier Arenas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have to keep moving forward,â&#x20AC;?

McCluster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoever is up has to play.â&#x20AC;?

And play better than they have.

Kansas City is 29th in the league in scoring offense at 13.9 points per game, and has managed all of 25 points during its fourgame skid. The only teams worse than the Chiefs are Indianapolis, St. Louis and Jacksonville, who are a combined 5-28 heading into this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to figure out a way to get into the end zone some way, somehow,â&#x20AC;? Haley said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because you have to score more points than your opponent.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to do that kicking only field goals.

Even though Haley has said that Palko will start Sunday at Chicago, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good bet that Kyle Orton will get a shot to run the offense against his former team.

Orton was claimed off waivers last week from Denver, and the Chiefs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paying the roughly $2.6 million left on his salary to be a backup. Orton has a track record of success that far surpasses what Palko has accomplished, throwing for more than 3,000 yards in back-to-back seasons in Denver and helping lead Chicago to 11 wins and a division title as a rookie in 2005.

Not to mention he was 15-2 at Soldier Field as a starter for the Bears â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, those defenses we had had a lot to do with that,â&#x20AC;? Orton said with a laugh.

Yes, the vaunted Bears defense.

Considering the trouble the Chiefs have had getting into the end zone, Brian Urlacher and Co. are probably salivating in practice this week. Chicago is eighth in the league against the run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defense hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really changed yet the last few years. We have a few new faces but we do the same thing,â&#x20AC;? Urlacher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We run to the football, we get pressure on the quarterback and we play Cover 2. ... We play little bit more man, but for the most part our staple is running to the football and getting takeaways.â&#x20AC;?

The Bears are tied for second behind the unbeaten Packers with 16 interceptions, which helps to mask the one glaring weakness in their defense: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allowing more than 270 yards passing per game, third worst in the NFL.

COMING SUNDAY

Tiger leading Chevron; Woodland 7 back THOUSAND OAKS, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tiger Woods knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing better than he has in the last two years, and he has the leaderboard to prove it.

Woods hit a half-dozen extraordinary shots Friday in the Chevron World Challenge on his way to a 5-under 67, giving him a three-shot lead over Matt Kuchar and K.J. Choi at Sherwood Country Club.

It was the second straight tournament that Woods had the 36-hole lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want the lead after four days,â&#x20AC;? said Woods, winless in his last 26 official starts dating to the Australian Masters in November 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two days is nice, but four days is even better.â&#x20AC;?

Woods was at 8-under 136 and will play in the final group today with Kuchar.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland was 7-back at 143.

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman is unhappy with the way he was informed of his firing and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe his dismissal was justified.

Still, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proud of his four years at Texas A&M and believes he left the program in better shape than it was when he arrived.

Sherman was fired Thursday night after the Aggies finished the regular-season 6-6.

He had just pulled into the driveway of a recruitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home Thursday night when Athletic Director Bill Byrne called to dismiss him.

Sherman was disappointed the news leaked to his family and players before he was told.

KU MEN’S BASKETBALL

| 3B

CITY BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Teahan set to score against USF

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior Conner Teahan knows what is expected of him as the Jayhawks’ first or second guy off the bench.

“If I’m out there, I need to be scoring points,” said Teahan, a 6-foot-5, 215-pound guard out of Kansas City Rockhurst High School. He’s known as KU’s most accurate outside shooter entering today’s 4:15 p.m. home game against South Florida (5-3).

“Coach always says for me (the important thing) is making shots,” added Teahan, whose three firsthalf threepointers Teahan helped the Jayhawks jump-start the offense in Tuesday’s 77-54 victory over Florida Atlantic.

He entered that game after a 1-for-6 showing from beyond the arc in KU’s three games at the Maui Invitational.

“I really wanted to get back out there. Maui wasn’t a great thing for me,” Teahan said. “I was very disappointed in the way I played when we were out there struggling. I have to come in and provide a spark.”

Of course, it’s way too early to pinpoint trends during the 2011-12 season. Yet through six games, Teahan has fared better at home than at neutral sites. Counting two exhibition games, he’s made 13 of 19 threes in Allen Fieldhouse, good for 68.4 percent.

In Maui and against Kentucky (2-of-5), he connected on three of 11 from beyond the arc.

“I don’t know what it was.

In Maui, I felt comfortable. I didn’t get a ton of looks. Then against Georgetown (1-of-5) ... sometimes you are going to shoot them and they are not going to go in. It was a little more difficult (getting open vs. Georgetown, UCLA and

7.0 rebounds a game his junior season, watched a batch of his finalists’ games on TV with his dad, Andrew, Sr., the past few weeks, before making his decision.

“Coaches can tell you a lot, but when you can put your eyeballs on it yourself — when you can see the teams play and the coaches coach — it makes it more clear,” Andrew White, Sr., said. “He made the decision totally independent, but I wanted to give him pros and cons.

“KU has a need for what he does. He’s a jump shooter, a three-point artist.

He also does well in the mid-range game. A lot of schools we looked at had slashers, but didn’t have a lot of jump shooters which

BRIEFLY KU track and field kicks off season Fifteen members of the Kansas University track and field team won events on Friday during the season-opening Bob Timmons Challenge at Anschutz Sports Pavilion.

Natalie Becker took first in the women’s 3,000-meter race, the first-ever event on the pavilion’s newly installed track.

The Jayhawks’ next meet will be the Bill Easton Classic at 1 p.m. on Jan. 7, 2012, at Anschutz Pavilion.

Duke). They were focusing in on me, Duke especially.

It was kind of funny. I was guarding Dawkins (Andre, Duke) and it was like, ‘Do not leave him. Do not leave him.’

I felt it was the exact same way when they were guarding me.

“Obviously I love shooting at home,” he added. “I shoot it in the fieldhouse and practice gym all the time.

It’s something I’m definitely used to, the surroundings,

is what he has kind of developed into.

“KU has great, great players. But we could see him fitting in their system as a jump shooter. He can also get to the basket, and a lot of people like his rebounding ability. At 6-6, he could be a mismatch problem for teams not tall at the two. Andrew felt he fit in the best at KU,” Andrew White, Sr., added.

Perhaps the only negative is location.

“It’s a long ways from our home,” said Andrew White, Sr., who works as a professional developer in Virginia. “We usually have 10 to 12 and as many as 40 relatives at our games.

We are such a tight-knit family (including Andrew’s mom, Sheryl; older sister, Andrias, and younger brother Jaire).

“It’s the farthest of any schools recruiting him. But they made him feel comfortable. Coach Self, Danny

gave LHS some positives to take away from the win.

“I liked the way we shared the ball,” he said.

Lawrence only had nine assists (Willoughby led with four) against 13 turnovers, but the Lions’ ball movement and patience in the half-court often led to Bluejays fouls, so LHS didn’t finish with as many assists as it would have with baskets on those plays.

Still, the Lions went 14-for-23 at the foul line, where Montes de Oca often benefited from his teammates’ passes.

The 6-foot-7 sophomore finished with 12 points and nine rebounds, plus three blocks.

He became a focal point of the offense, and although he went 3-for-12 from the floor, he made six of 10 free throws.

Lewis said the big man, who played some varsity minutes late in his freshman season, will learn how to finish around the rim.

and it’s not too bad when you have 16,000 fans cheering for you.”

Coach Bill Self encourages Teahan to shoot when there’s the slightest space to do so.

“He doesn’t do as good a job of getting open as some guys do,” Self said. “He has to focus on that. People aren’t going to let him get his feet set. Even with that, you’ve accomplished something that’s very positive (when Teahan is in game). You’ve stretched

Manning, coach (Joe) Dooley and (Kurtis) Townsend made him feel comfortable like family. The distance is something we’ll work out as we take on this different animal,” he added of college.

White’s high school coach, Scott Willard, noted that he has known assistant coach Dooley a long time.

“They recruit quality kids and do a great job of developing players. They develop guards all the way to big men,” Willard said. “Andrew is one of the top shooters in the class. He has NBA range and a college-ready body at 6-foot-6. He works out at 6 a.m. in the gym every single day and doesn’t tell anybody about it, doesn’t want anybody to know about it.

He’s the hardest working kid we’ve had here. He’ll be a hard-working, team-oriented, really quiet, unassuming kid who can shoot the lights out.”

the defense which isolates Thomas (Robinson) more in the post.”

Teahan, who red-shirted last season and played sparingly his three seasons before that, is still learning some nuances of the game: like knowing it’s still OK to fire away after missing.

“I sit there and talk to myself, ‘Hey you’ve got to forget about missing shots,’” Teahan said. “If I’m open I’m going to take the shot because that’s what the team wants me to do.”

Self explained: “Conner has a short memory. He remembers just the good stuff, which is a good way to be. He’s kind of like Mario (Chalmers) in that regard. He has not played the same number of minutes yet probably to have the same comfort level of Brady (Morningstar) or Tyrel (Reed). The guy can really shoot. We have to do a better job of getting him looks. If he gets four looks a game, I’m confident he’ll make at least two of them. He is important to us.”

Today’s foe: South Florida of the Big East Conference has defeated Vermont, Marist, Florida Southern, Georgia Southern and Florida Atlantic and lost to Old Dominion, Penn State and VCU. KU beat Florida Atlantic, 7754, while USF also stopped the Owls, 68-55. Coach Stan Heath’s Bulls are led by sophomore guard/forward Victor Rudd and senior forward Augustus Gilchrist, who averages 12.5 and 11.6 ppg. Preseason All-Big East pick Gilchrist averages 6.8 rebounds. He’s missed the last three games because of a shoulder injury, but is expected to play today.

Senior forward Ron Anderson contributes 11.0 ppg and 7.6 rpg. The school is located in Tampa, Fla., with an enrollment of 47,576.

“Their defense is excellent.

They really guard. It’ll be a tough game. A Big East opponent coming in here ... we don’t see that every night,” Self said.

The soft-spoken White, who is hoping to attend a KU home game this winter, was on hand for the Legends of the Phog exhibition involving KU’s former NBA players.

“It was fun to see all the people on campus. It was exciting to see what basketball means to the people,” White, Jr., said, wanting to conclude by thanking several individuals.

“My coaches, teammates and family members. I’ve seen some kids without the support ... it affects their development. I always had somebody willing to take me to the gym and always had somebody willing to rebound for me and help me out. It’s a great advantage when you are trying to develop as a player. I want to thank everybody who had anything to do with my recruitment and look forward to going to KU,” he concluded.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Coaches CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Of our original list of 12, eight names are still potentially in the running. During the past five days, a host of other names have also emerged as potential KU targets.

Here’s an updated list, with new categories and a quick breakdown of each candidate:

Sonny Dykes, 42, Louisiana Tech head coach Record at school: 13-11 in 2 seasons at La. Tech (1 bowl appearances) Current salary: $450,000 per year Why it makes sense: A disciple of former Kentucky head coach Hal Mumme and described by some as Mike Leach Lite, Dykes uses the same style of offense as Leach and comes with far less baggage. Son of legendary former Texas Tech head coach Spike Dykes. Great recruiting ties in Texas and 13-11 in two seasons at La. Tech, including 8-4 this season and a WAC championship.

Why it might not happen: There are reports of La. Tech and Dykes discussing a contract extension, and sources have said that Dykes and his family are very happy in Louisiana.

The New Favorite

Larry Fedora, 49, University of Southern Mississippi head coach Record at school: 31-19 in 4 seasons (4 bowl appearances) Current salary: $704,500 per year Why it makes sense: Known as an excellent recruiter — especially in Texas, where he was a high school coach — and has Big 12 ties from his days as an offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State. Also served as offensive coordinator at Florida from 2002-04 and has emerged in recent days as one of the hottest names available.

Why it might not happen: Appears to be in the mix at Texas A&M and Ole Miss, which could cause problems for KU. Is his name sexy enough to please the big-time donors and a fan base that, just a few days ago, had visions of Mike Leach as their new head coach?

The Strong Contenders

Dirk Koetter, 52, Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator and former head coach at Arizona State and Boise State.

Record at school: 26-10 in 3 seasons at Boise (2 bowl appearances); 40-34 in 6 seasons at ASU (4 bowl appearances) Current salary: Not Available.

Why it makes sense: Was the man who got Boise State rolling before handing over the keys to Dan Hawkins and Chris Petersen. Has served as an offensive coordinator at five schools — including Missouri from 1989-93 — and, in 29 years, has developed ties to dozens of coaches, which could lead to him hiring an impressive staff.

Why it might not happen: Not incredibly familiar with Big 12 country and has been away from the college game for five years.

The Forget-Me-Not Guys

Mark Stoops, 44, Florida State defensive coordinator Record at school: N/A Current salary: Not Available. Made $283,914 in final year as Arizona DC (2008).

Why it makes sense: Obviously has the right last name to get your attention, but also has the right connections. Zenger and Stoops worked together on Leavitt’s staff at South Florida in 1996 and again from 1997-99 at Wyoming, where Stoops coached defensive backs and Zenger served as recruiting coordinator and assistant head coach. Has served as defensive coordinator at three schools (Houston, Arizona and Florida State).

Why it might not happen: A lack of head coaching experience could hurt.

Dave Doeren, 39, Northern Illinois University head coach Record at school: 10-3 in 1 season (1 bowl appearances) Current salary: $371,000 per year Why it makes sense: Doeren spent time at KU under Mangino and grew up in Kansas City.

He knows what it takes to win at Kansas and he understands the culture. Was a huge player in recruiting a good chunk of KU’s 2007-08 Orange Bowl team and also has been praised by many as one of the bright, young defensive minds in the game based on his highly successful stint as Wisconsin’s co-defensive coordinator.

Why it might not happen: For starters, Gill beat Doeren earlier this season (45-42 in Lawrence) and that probably won’t sit well with KU fans.

Dave Christensen, 50, Wyoming head coach Record at school: 17-18 in 3 seasons. (2 bowl appearances) Current salary: $843,376 per year Why it makes sense: Record-setting former Missouri offensive coordinator knows the area well and has recruiting ties throughout the Big 12 from his 12 seasons at Mizzou. Took over at Wyoming in 2009 and has led the Cowboys to bowls in two of his three seasons.

Why it might not happen: Could be a reach, and his losing record in the Mountain West Conference might hit too close to home for people still feeling burned by KU’s hire of Gill, who arrived at KU in 2009 with a 20-30 record in four seasons in the MAC.

Skip Holtz, 47, South Florida head coach Record at school: 13-12 in 2 seasons. (1 bowl appearance) Current salary: $1.7 million per year.

Why it makes sense: Son of legendary Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz was a candidate for KU’s job in 2009 and, until then, had enjoyed a steady rise from UConn to East Carolina. With instability plaguing the future of the Big East, Holtz could be looking for more stable ground.

Why it might not happen: Hasn’t fared well in the Big East and will be sitting at home this postseason as the Bulls finished 5-7 and did not qualify for a bowl game.

Phillip Fulmer, 61, former University of Tennessee head coach Record at school: 152-52 in 17 seasons at Tennessee (15 bowl appearances) Current salary: Not Available.

Why it makes sense: Fulmer was forced out at Tennessee after an uncharacteristic 5-7 record in 2008. All he did before that was win 10 games in ’07, nine games in ’06 and 10 in 2002 and 2003, as well. Oh, he also guided the Vols to the 1998 national championship.

Although the Tennessee native has spent all but four years of his coaching life in his home state, the four years away were in Kansas at Wichita State. Fulmer expressed interest in and interviewed for vacancies at Louisville and UConn in late 2009.

Why it might not happen: Fulmer’s been out of the game for three seasons now and could have trouble adapting to the spread offenses — both offensively and defensively — currently in favor in the Big 12.

Troy Calhoun, 45, Air Force Academy head coach Record at school: 39-23 in 5 seasons (4 bowl appearances) Current salary: $889,095 per year Why it makes sense: Experience all over the

board from Ohio and Air Force to Wake Forest and the NFL. Offensive-minded coach who knows how to utilize multiple running backs, a position that should be a strength at Kansas for at least the next few years. Named the Mountain West coach of the year in 2007 and known for creative offensive gameplans.

Why it might not happen: His is not the biggest name of the bunch and he seems to be pretty happy at Air Force, where he starred as a quarterback during his playing days and began his coaching career under the legendary Fisher DeBerry.

Brent Venables, 40, Oklahoma defensive coordinator Record at school: N/A Current salary: Not Available.

Why it makes sense: Long considered one of the top assistant coaches in the college game, the Salina native, who played at Kansas State and later coached under Bill Snyder at his alma mater, has deep roots in the Midwest. His intelligent, energetic and charismatic qualities make him a master recruiter and the kind of coach players go the extra mile for. Venables has a great eye for talent and has been instrumental in Bob Stoops’ success at OU since 1999. Before that, the two worked together at K-State, as well.

Why it might not happen: Talking him into a rebuilding project at KU could be tough, considering some think he’s waiting to take over at either Oklahoma or Kansas State one day.

Glen Mason, 61, former Kansas and Minnesota head coach Record at school: 47-54-1 in 9 seasons at KU (2 bowl appearances); Current salary: Not Available.

Why it makes sense: Known for his ability to turn around programs and his identity as a strict disciplinarian.

Mason knows the area, knows the culture of the conference and has expressed interest in the Kansas job. In addition, his step-daughter currently is enrolled as a student at KU. Why it might not happen: Been there, done that. Had Mason never coached at Kansas, he might be among the favorites for this job. But he already left KU once — nearly twice — and seems to be enjoying life as a broadcaster for the Big Ten Network.

The Deep Reaches Justin Fuente - 35 - Co-offensive coordinator at TCU, now in his fifth season with the Horned Frogs. Before TCU, Fuente spent six seasons as the quarterbacks coach at Illinois State, the final two years while Zenger was the school’s athletic director.

Jeff Monken - 44 - Georgia Southern head coach who is 19-7 during his two seasons. Key player in helping Paul Johnson develop that wacky offense at Georgia Tech. Once interviewed with Zenger for the Illinois State job.

Todd Monken - 45 - First-year Oklahoma State offensive coordinator, who has experience in the Midwest, the NFL (Jacksonville) and at LSU, has drawn some interest from a few schools recently.

Oregon wins first Pac-12 title game, 49-31 EUGENE, ORE. (AP) — LaMichael James ran for 219 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 8 Oregon beat UCLA, 49-31, in the inaugural Pac-12 championship game Friday night for the Ducks’ third straight conference title and a berth in the Rose Bowl.

Rick Neuheisel tipped his hat to the UCLA fans in his last game as coach. The former Bruins quarterback was fired this week after four seasons with his alma mater.

While the Bruins (6-7) played with passion for their outgoing coach and kept it closer than many thought they would, it was not enough to overcome the Ducks (11-2), who head to a BCS bowl for the third straight season.

Darron Thomas threw for 219 yards and three touchdowns, becoming Oregon’s career leader with 63 TD passes.

James became the first rusher in Pac-12 history with three straight 1,500-yard seasons. He moved into a tie with USC’s LenDale White (2003-05) for second on the league’s career rushing TD list with 52.

Neuheisel, fired following last weekend’s 50-0 loss to No. 9 Southern California, hugged quarterback Kevin Prince as time ran out.

His dismissal was part of a wave of coaching moves in the conference. Around the time

Neuheisel’s dismissal was announced, Arizona State let go of Dennis Erickson. Washington State parted ways with Paul Wulff, then quickly hired

former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach a day later.

Oregon will play the winner of the first Big 10 championship game Saturday between No. 11 Michigan State and No. 15 Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 2.

The heavily favored Ducks scored on their first series when James ran 30 yards for a touchdown. James went into the game as the nation’s top running back with an average of 142.7 yards per game.

UCLA tied it when linebacker Patrick Larimore intercepted Thomas and ran 35 yards for a touchdown.

Neuheisel pumped his first in celebration.

Thomas scored on a 10yard keeper and then found true freshman tight end Colt Lyerla alone in the end zone with a 7-yard scoring pass to make it 21-7.

UCLA narrowed it with Prince’s flea-flicker to Nelson Rosario for a 37-yard touchdown.

Oregon was stung early in the game when dynamic true freshman De’Anthony Thomas fumbled after a hit

by Tevin McDonald. Shaken up on the play, the versatile running back who earlier this week was named the Pac-12’s co-freshman of the year on offense did not return.

James added a 3-yard touchdown run to make it 28-14 before Darron Thom-

as connected with Daryle Hawkins for a 25-yard TD reception.

UCLA’s Tyler Gonzalez kicked a 44-yard field goal to make it 37-17 at halftime.

Prince scored on a 1-yard run early in the third quarter to pull UCLA closer to the Ducks, but James answered with a 5-yard TD dash to make it 42-24.

A Heisman Trophy finalist last season as a sophomore, James fell out of the running for the most part this season because he missed two games with a dislocated right elbow.

David Paulson caught a 22yard touchdown pass midway through the third, which put Darron Thomas in front of Danny O’Neil (1991-94) for most passing TDs at Oregon.

Rosario pulled down a onehanded, 19-yard touchdown pass from Prince with less than two minutes to play. Prince completed 13 of 26 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns.

The addition of Colorado and Utah to the Pac-12 paved the way for a league championship game this season. In previous years, the team with the best conference record claimed the title.

While No. 9 USC (10-2, 7-2) finished atop the Pac-12 South, the Trojans are ineligible to play in the postseason because of NCAA sanctions, which put UCLA in the title game.

Pokes’ road to BCS It’s time to talk Heisman goes through Bedlam BIG 12 FOOTBALL

Some Heisman Trophy voters have already entered the secret password, filled in the proper ballot number and hit the send button.

With so many teams playing today, that seems strangely premature. Ballots, which require voting for three candidates in order of preference, are due at 4 p.m. Monday. I’ll send mine Sunday, choosing three from the 10 names I still consider worthy of consideration.

In alphabetical order, here are the 10 from which I’ll choose: Montee Ball, Wisconsin: The 5-foot-11, 210-pound junior running back from Wentzville, Mo., has scored a Big Ten-record 34 touchdowns (29 rushing) and is second in the nation with 1,622 rushing yards (behind Western Kentucky’s Bobby Rainey, 1,695), which are always difficult to come by against top Big Ten defenses.

Robert Griffin III, Baylor: Born in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, where both of us parents were stationed serving our country in the U.S. Army, Griffin has an AllAmerican game, head and personality. The family lived in Washington state and New Orleans before making its way to Copperas Cove, Texas, where Griffin played high school football and was recruited by, among others, Kansas. A 6-2, 220-pound jet, Griffin has thrown for 34 touchdowns and 3,678 yards and has rushed for 612 yards and seven touchdowns. The way he finished the Oklahoma game will be talked about for centuries in Waco.

Case Keenum, Houston: A 6-2, 210-pound, sixth-year senior from Abilene, Texas, Keenum has thrown 43 touchdown passes and just three interceptions and has led his team to a 12-0 record.

Collin Klein, Kansas State: Has rushed for 25 touchdowns and thrown for 11, enabling Kansas State to bring a shocking 9-2 record into its final game of the regular season. The 6-5,

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

226-pound junior from Loveland, Colo., shows an athlete who doesn’t pass particularly well still can find a way to become a great college quarterback.

Luke Kuechly, Boston College: This 6-3, 237-pound junior inside linebacker from Cincinnati leads the nation in solo tackles, and he punctuates each one with a growl.

Andrew Luck, Stanford: A 6-4, 235-pound fourth-year junior from Houston, Luck would have gone in the first few picks of last year’s draft but enjoyed college football so much he came back for more and has thrown 35 touchdown passes. Son of Oliver Luck, athletic director at West Virginia and former Houston Oilers quarterback, Andrew Luck has not regretted his decision for a second.

Whitney Mercilus, Illinois: This junior is the most underrated player in college football. Quarterback is without question the most important position in football, so it stands to reason that the next most important thing to have on a roster is a player who excels at disrupting an offense. Nobody does that better than Mercilus, the 6-foot-4, 265-pound defensive end from Akron, Ohio.

Trent Richardson, Alabama: A 5-11, 224, junior from Pensacola, Fla., Richardson has 1,583 rushing yards and 327 receiving yards.

Brandon Weeden, Ok lahoma State: A secondround draft choice by the New York Yankees in 2002, Weeden didn’t make it as a pitcher. Football’s his sport.

A 6-4, 218-pound senior from Edmond, Okla., he has thrown for 4,111 yards playing

STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — In more than a century’s worth of Bedlam games, the stakes have never been higher for Oklahoma State.

The Cowboys (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) are No. 3, matching their highest ranking ever heading into the rivalry game against No. 13 Oklahoma (9-2, 6-2), and they still have an outside chance at going to the national championship game with an impressive win tonight.

At the least, the in-state showdown is a substitute for the Big 12 championship game, which went away when the league shrank to 10 teams this year.

The Sooners will be attempting to win their eighth Big 12 crown, by far the most in the league’s 16-year history. Oklahoma State is after its first outright conference title since 1948.

To earn a shot at its first national championship, Oklahoma State will have to put together a strong case against a Sooners team that has won eight straight Bedlam games and is 81-17-7 in the series — with one of the losses coming by forfeit.

The Cowboys are third in the BCS standings but must make up the most ground on top-ranked LSU and No. 2 Alabama in the human polls.

They’re ranked fifth in the coaches and Harris polls and — unlike the idle Crimson Tide — have one last chance to make an impression before ballots are due.

“The way I look at it is that AP Photos if we go out and play well BAYLOR QUARTERBACK ROBERT GRIFFIN III, TOP, enough and win the football WISCONSIN RUNNING BACK MONTEE BALL, MIDDLE, AND game, then somebody’s goALABAMA RUNNING BACK TRENT RICHARDSON, BOTTOM, ing to have to make a deciare just a few of the players who might win this year’s sion based on it,” OSU coach Heisman Trophy.

Mike Gundy said. “And if it’s actually going to happen the for a coach who doesn’t befrom Richmond, Va., Wilson way it should, that decision’s lieve in running up the score has led the Badgers to a 10-2 going to be made after we play Oklahoma. So, it really and goes to his second-string record and a shot at the Big quicker than most. Weeden, Ten championship by throw- doesn’t matter what I say.”

“

... if we go out and play well enough and win the football game, then somebody’s going to have to make a decision based on it.”

— Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy averaging 401.6 yards per game behind quarterback Brandon Weeden and All-American receiver Justin Blackmon. That strength will go up against what has been Oklahoma’s weakness, a pass defense that allowed 452 yards through the air in a loss to Texas Tech and 485 yards passing in a loss at Baylor.

The Sooners are determined to prevent that from happening again — particularly with their own chances to win a conference title and play in a BCS bowl hanging in the balance.

It will be the third straight year that Oklahoma State carries the higher ranking into Bedlam, but the Sooners still won the last two years — costing the Cowboys a chance at an at-large BCS bowl two years ago and the Big 12 South title last year. OSU is trying to prove it’s even better this season, carrying its highest Bedlam ranking since the No. 3 ’Pokes lost to the No. 2 Sooners back in 1984.

There’s no guarantee that the Cowboys can leapfrog either of the two teams in front of them in the BCS standings, and Gundy may not have helped their case by saying this week that even he considers LSU and Alabama the best teams in the country, at least for now.

With a win, he may change his tune and offer reminders that the Cowboys would then have five wins against the Top 25 teams in the BCS — compared with two for Alabama — and they would be conference champions, unlike the Tide.

FLORIDA’S KENNY BOYNTON LOOKS FOR AN OPEN MAN under the basket against Syracuse. The Orange beat the Gators, 72-68, Friday in Syracuse, N.Y.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Boeheim wins, apologizes ————

No. 4 Orange hold off No. 10 UF The Associated Press

No. 4 Syracuse 72, No. 10 Florida 68 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Jim Boeheim maintained his usual stoic facade Friday night while his unbeaten Syracuse basketball team notched another victory. Behind the postgame microphone, it was a different story.

The coach returned to the subject of his fired former assistant coach, Bernie Fine, and apologized for his initial remarks involving the men who accused Fine of molesting them as minors. Two of the three men were former Syracuse ballboys.

Fine has maintained his innocence.

“I believe I misspoke very badly in my response to the allegations that have been made. I shouldn’t have questioned what the accusers expressed or their motives.

I am really sorry that I did that, and I regret any harm that I caused,” he said at the news conference after Syracuse beat Florida.

“It was insensitive for the individuals involved and especially to the overall issue of child abuse,” he said, speaking slowly and pausing several times.

Boeheim said it was important that he get involved in terms of raising awareness and promised he would.

“I’m going to do everything I can to do that, whether I’m coaching or not coaching,” he said.

Some sex abuse victims’ advocates said Boeheim should resign or be fired for his initial disparaging comments about the accusers.

Boeheim said he was acting “out of loyalty.”

“I acted without thinking.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing,” he said.

As he did at Tuesday’s home win over Eastern Michigan, Boeheim received a warm ovation when he was introduced to a crowd of 24,459. It was the largest on-campus attendance in the nation so

Big Ten says official missed call at Minnesota The Associated Press

The Big Ten says it has disciplined an official for “misapplying a rule” at a key point in the final seconds of the Virginia Tech-Minnesota game in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.

The Hokies trailed 56-55 when they inbounded the ball to freshman Robert Brown in the front court. The ball wound up in the back court, and a back court violation was called. Brown argued the ball had been tipped by a Minnesota defender, but the officials did not agree.

NCAA rules indicate a back court violation should not have been called on the play.

The Gophers went on to win, 58-55.

far this season, and it included former Syracuse star Carmelo Anthony and former Orange assistant Rob Murphy, in his first year at EMU, in front-row seats.

Syracuse (8-0) breezed to its first seven wins with an average margin of victory of 26 points, but the Gators (52), whose only previous loss was by seven at No. 2 Ohio State, figured to provide a stiff challenge and they did in a game that seemed like a midseason encounter in the Big East.

Do you feel faith is highlighted more in December than any other month?

——————

My faith ‘highlight’ of December is that Jesus is the light The Rev. Mitch Todd, associate pastor, First United Methodist Church, 946 Vt.: This is a trick(y) question.

It occurs to me that faith shows up on a consistent basis throughout the year in most churches I know of.

Faith is both the question and the answer that drives most Christian practice.

You could almost say faith takes a slight back seat to Love and Joy this time of year, as we celebrate the reality and promise of Emmanuel (God with us). To be sure, faith is there in the mix, but perhaps not to the degree of, say, Good Friday, when God becomes, for a moment, absent. Now that’s a day when you want a strong Faith.

The answer to the young girl’s famous question was not: “Yes, Virginia, there is a God.” It was a faith question about Santa Claus! Perhaps that’s what people secretly struggle to believe this time of year — that there is Todd someone out there who is watching over them and will reward their good behavior.

I suppose that’s a sort of secular faith.

I happen to be a big fan of Santa — he’s a great role model for generosity and jolliness — but the highlight of

the season for me, when I think about it, is a handful of verses from the prologue to the Gospel of John, including my favorite verse, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.”

To me, the faith “highlight” of December is that notion of Jesus as the light of the world. There does seem to a pause in the worry and conflict of our darkened lives this time of year. Just a brief recognition that there is a reason for hope. As we say, “Jesus is the reason for the season,” a belief that truly does draw on the faith of Christians around the world.

— Send e-mail to Mitch Todd at mitch@ fumclawrence.org.

Send your questions about faith and spiritual issues for our religion columnists to religion@ ljworld.com.

Yes, I believe there is more emphasis in December The Rev. Verdell Taylor, pastor, St. Luke A.M.E. Church, 900 N.Y. Yes, I believe that there is more emphasis on faith in December than in other months.

Our faith is our belief and in most cases this would be our religious belief. Religious faith can be a difficult concept to grasp. It is rooted in hope and trust. Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) states, “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”

There are many reasons why faith is highlighted more in December than in any other month. The most important reason is because the Christian world celebrates the birth of Jesus on Dec. 25. Although there are many controversies about

the actual month of Jesus’ birth, for centuries, it has been celebrated on Dec. 25.

Many members of the faith community also celebrate Advent Season, which occurs mostly in December. For the church and the world, December becomes the month that Taylor we clean up unfinished business.

We often volunteer more, help someone in need and are more generous in our giving. We tend to be more kind to each other in December than in other months.

We celebrate by giving Christmas parties and buy-

ing and exchanging gifts.

Our motives can often be challenged. Are we giving gifts to receive gifts? Are we giving more to the church or other charities in December, for tax deductions?

Do we even think about Jesus as being the reason for the celebrations? These are questions that can only be answered individually.

The truth about December and our faith can be very personal but it is a special month for us to stand and share our faith with others and respect others, when we believe differently.

In every month, not just December, we should strive for peace on earth and goodwill toward others.

Dear One Step: Micki is not as young as your wife thinks. At 35, she is closer to middle-aged.

A weekend sleeping around is not. Encourage your wife to put her grandchildren’s welfare first and

children’s spouses feel like part of the family and that will help you maintain a great relationship not only with your own child, but with all the new children that come along through marriage. — Loving All My Children in Virginia

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

— Please e-mail your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Dear Annie: I am now a mother-in-law and have a wonderful relationship with my children and their spouses. I am also a daughter-inlaw and can tell “Michigan” that the best way NOT to lose her son is to always include the wife as part of the family.

My husband and I have been married for many years, and I have always felt like an outsider in his family. When we married, my mother-inlaw tried to undermine our relationship. According to her, everything in our home is “his,” nothing is “ours.”

When she calls our house, she barely speaks to me. She immediately asks to talk to my husband. She makes it clear that he is her priority

Don’t expect Roger Moore too early in ‘Princess’

Roger Moore, the longest-running 007 to date and a television star on “The Saint” (not to mention the campy buddy-spy effort “The Persuaders” with Tony Curtis), returns to the small screen in “A Princess for Christmas” (7 p.m. Hallmark). Unfortunately, it’s a long time before he shows up in this holiday bauble about a beautiful aunt (raising two spunky motherless kids) from Buffalo who finds herself in a far-off magic kingdom and sweeps a young handsome royal off his feet. Katie McGrath stars in the title role.

The irreverent, ribald and occasionally raunchy Irish host of “The Graham Norton Show” gets a new spin off series produced especially for BBC America.

“Would You Rather With Graham Norton” (10 p.m.) directly follows his talk show. ‘‘Rather” asks celebrity guests to contemplate ridiculous and often tasteless choices. For instance, would you rather permanently lose two thumbs or a cousin? Would you rather try to land an airplane while on ecstasy or defuse a bomb while suffering a hangover? Over the course of its first season, guests will include Whoopi Goldberg, Cyndi Lauper, Stanley Tucci, Alan Cumming, Scott Adsit and Judah Friedlander.

Robin Williams, Elijah Wood, Jennifer Saunders and JLS appear on tonight’s “Graham Norton Show” (9 p.m. BBC America).

Rich party-throwers get very demanding and we’re supposed to care on “Chef Roble & Co.” (9 p.m., Bravo).

There was a time when working as a waiter-caterer was something actors did while waiting to get a job on television dramas. Now reality TV wants to create drama out of catering.

Tonight’s other highlights

An angel saves a troubled banker (Jimmy Stewart) from desperate thoughts in the 1946 holiday favorite “It’s a Wonderful Life” (7 p.m., NBC), directed by Frank Capra.

Michigan State takes on Wisconsin for the Big Ten championship (6:30 p.m., Fox).

Oklahoma State hosts Oklahoma with the Big 12 title at stake (7 p.m., ABC).

Two hours of homicide on “48 Hours Mystery” (8 p.m., CBS).

Beetles from a far-off time cause mayhem on “Primeval” (8 p.m., BBC America).

An aging star (Harrison Ford) finds himself trapped in a joyless sequel in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” (8 p.m., Syfy).

Steve Buscemi (“Boardwalk Empire”) hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guest The Black Keys.

Series notes Sheldon’s girl strays on “The Big Bang Theory” (7 p.m., CBS) ... A best man in the worst way on “How I Met Your Mother” (7 p.m., CBS).

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker December 3, 2011

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Saturday, Dec. 3: This year you might seem more into your personal life than in many years. If you are single, romance could knock on your door, and all you will want to do is be with this person. If you are attached, your domestic life and personal interactions draw a lot of happiness and focus. Creative people in appropriate professions also seem to excel. Excitement surrounds children and romance. Make it OK not to be so much into your work.

You recognize how much more there is to living. Aries encourages your impulsiveness just by being around you.

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) You have reason to smile from ear to ear. Understand what is motivating you to act in such an unpredictable way. Tonight: All smiles.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Use the daylight hours to the max, when you can zero in on what you want. Use the support of a meeting of likeminded people. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Gemini (May 21-June 20)

jacquelinebigar.com

Demands hit you left and right. You know no other solution than to step up to the plate. Tonight: Share a fun evening.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Dig into the hows and whys of certain situations. Rather than judge, observe. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You have been playing your cards close to the chest with a partner and with others. You still might not be ready to reveal what is obvious to many. Tonight: Go for something exciting.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) You allow many people to take the wind out of your sails. It is clear your priorities are very different from many of the people around you.

Tonight: Go along with another person’s ideas.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Concentrate on getting your work and errands done. You might not understand why you need extra free time, but you will see. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your imagination seems to be everywhere but where you are.

Relax and work with this energy. Tonight: Getting an errand done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) The good news is, once you get going, you could go on and on into the wee hours. Unexpected developments pop you out of your present activities and allow greater opportunities. Tonight: Kick up your heels.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Meetings might have an unusual twist at the end. Use caution with money, whether paying for lunch or closing a million dollar deal. Tonight: Head home early.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be aware of the costs behind an idea. Ask yourself how much you are motivated by money. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Know that it is quite possible that something you do today or a conversation could force you to regroup and head in a new direction. Laughter surrounds a surprise. Tonight: Do some shopping for yourself.

Dear Annie: I have a 35-year-old daughter with two children (ages 13 and 2), and they all are living with us. “Micki” moved in after leaving her common-law husband a few months ago.

He was the third man in her life.

Since Micki has been home, she has been going out every weekend. I am “old school” and believe she should come home from work and take care of my grandchildren.

But if I open my mouth, my wife will toss me out. It has already happened once before.
