ESL programs factor into consolidation plans

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

The future of English as a Second Language programs is among dozens of factors being balanced as an advisory group moves closer to recommending which Lawrence elementary schools should be consolidated in the name of efficiency.

“That is something to consider,” said Vanessa Sanburn, vice president of the Lawrence school board. “In the whole long list of pros and cons for consolidation, that’s another of the pieces to fit together.

“There’s not a lot of clarity, and there’s no right answer. It’s nuances, and it’s complicated. There are a lot of things to weigh.”

Next fall, each Kansas University freshman will receive the same book for a reading program that’s under development.

Planners say they hope to have campus events connected to the book and to have the book intertwine with various university courses.

The effort is one part of KU’s ongoing strategic plan, and administrators hope the program will help students build connections that will keep them in school.

“We know KANSAS that students UNIVERSITY who develop a sense of community early on are likely to persist,” said Sarah Crawford-Parker, special assistant to the provost and a co-chairwoman of the committee that has been working on the effort. Many other universities have similar programs.

On Tuesday afternoon, a message seeking suggestions for books went out across the university. By Wednesday morning, more than 80 suggestions had come in, Crawford-Parker said.

TOPEKA — An area of the state that was once mined for its lead and zinc deposits to fuel industrial production more than a century ago is getting a new life and purpose.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism is purchasing some 700 acres in southeast Kansas that will be used for public recreation.

Funding comes through a federal program that seeks to clean up contaminants left by 150 years of mining and smelting.

Members of the State Finance Council approved purchasing the land at $640 per acre in the Neosho River basin in Cherokee, Crawford, Labette and Neosho counties.

The funds were from settlements with the companies that were responsible for the mining through the National Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration program.

“You’re getting this for a nice price,” said Gov. Sam Brownback, chairman of the council.

Missing student told relatives of ‘creepy,’ drunken stranger OVERLAND PARK (AP) — Relatives of a 19-year-old college student believe she was abducted by a man who was harassing her at a northeastern Kansas campus where she was studying for finals.

Aisha Kahn, a student at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park who also takes classes at the Kansas University Edwards Campus in the same city, has been missing since Friday morning. That’s when her older sister says she left frantic text messages with her about a drunken man on the Edwards Campus she described as “creepy.”

Faiza Kahn said she dropped Aisha off at the campus about 10 a.m. Friday for a noon final.

The text messages started arriving within an hour.

“There’s a creepy guy that just came up to me, and he was harassing me,” Faiza said her younger sister told her in

a message. She told local media outlets that Aisha “was just freaking out at that time.

She didn’t know what to do.

I guess she pushed him, and she slapped him.”

She said her sister ran away from the stranger and tried calling instead of texting, but reached the voice mail.

“Oh my gosh, it was so scary,” Aisha said in her voice message. “My heart is like pounding. I’ve never got this scared in my life. Pick up your phones. I am freaked out right now.”

Faiza said she and a cousin went to the campus and found Aisha’s phone, book bag and iPod on a picnic table, but her sister was gone.

“Nobody saw anything, I guess, which is something I don’t understand,” said the cousin, Sana Habib. “There is so much construction, and there’s so many people over there. How cannot even one

person see what’s going on?”

Overland Park police spokesman Matthew Bregel said 30 to 40 officers were searching over the weekend for the missing Olathe woman, but he stopped short of calling her disappearance an abduction.

Aisha Kahn was married in July and stays in close contact with a wide circle of friends and relatives, family members said, so it’s highly unlikely she left voluntarily.

Faiza said her family has printed about 5,000 fliers and has been distributing them in the Olathe and Overland Park area. The family is offering $10,000 for any tips that lead to Khan’s whereabouts.

Aisha is 5 feet 2 inches tall, with dark brown hair, brown eyes and glasses. She wore a black jacket beneath a longer black and white coat, police said, and may have been wearing her glasses.

Land

near the old mining town of West Mineral. There are more than 1,500 acres of water for fishing. The 200 bodies of water are up to 50 acres in size and are found near Cherokee, Columbus, Oswego, Pittsburg, Scammon and West Mineral.

Strip mining played itself out as a viable industry in the 1960s and 1970s, leaving behind vast stretches of land scarred by the digging and the harmful heavy metals exposed when the coal was removed.

Federal regulations required the land to be restored and the environmental hazards to be remediated, a process that is ongoing in Cherokee County, including the town of Treece along the Oklahoma border.

The area was developed for recreational opportunities after mining operations ceased in the region.

Deep strip pits left by sur-

face mining were stocked with a variety of fish, including bass, crappie and trout.

Leo Henning of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment said the land being purchased didn’t have any contamination on it from mining operations and has been returned to its native vegetative state. Nine companies have been in settlement talks over mining contamination, with two companies reaching agreements. Money collected is used for rehabilitating it for natural and public use.

“This is the first property to come up with that action.

The land is not contaminated,” Henning said.

He said the property was already under a restricted use easement, which reduced its value and enabled the state to purchase it at the low rate.

suggested Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass.” Ingolia said he’d like to see a book that would help out-of-state students adjust to their new surroundings, and Lauth said he wouldn’t mind a biography.

Maryemma Graham, an English professor who’s also a co-chairwoman of the committee working on the project, said biographies would get consideration, along with books about scientific subjects, like Rebecca Skloot’s “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” which deals with DNA research. The hope is to involve as many people around the university as possible, she said.

Still, Graham recognized that not everyone may read the book.

“There is no policing here,” she said, but added that for those who choose to read the book, “they’ll be

building communities and meeting new people.”

She said there would be a marketing campaign around the book, and she said it can’t just be the chancellor who recommends that freshmen read it. It’s got to be people like the captain of the football team, too, and a scientist or an engineer.

The program is also an opportunity for the faculty to connect with first-year students, who often spend much of their year in large classes with graduate teaching assistants.

“We don’t meet these students until they’re sophomores and juniors,” Graham said.

“This gives us a chance as faculty to reinvest and be energized with first-year students.”

Lance Hedges, public lands supervisor in southeastern Kansas for the Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Department, said the land includes prairie, wetlands and other bodies of water that will be used for hunting, fishing and other outdoor activities. It will be managed by existing state staff in the region.

Hedges said the purchase of the land also helps lakes downstream from the Neosho, including Grand Lake in Oklahoma, by controlling drainage and what eventually ends up in the channel.

“It’s projects like this that will help,” he said. “It meets a lot of our goals.”

open up a dialogue,” said Joseph Lauth, a senior from St. Louis. “And with 30,000 people on campus, that can be a challenge.”

Others, though, were a little cooler to the prospect.

“It doesn’t sound like a horrible idea,” said Joe Ingolia, a senior from Arlington Heights, Ill. Ingolia’s high school had a similar program, he said, but it was a required component.

He said making the program voluntary was a better idea.

“Then, you get out what you put in,” he said.

When asked, students offered various book suggestions. Kenneth Owens, a junior from Lawrence, said he was a “hopeless romantic” and

vitamin D on osteosarcoma, a malignant bone tumor that mainly affects children and adolescents.

“It’s the most common type of bone cancer in kids and teenagers, and vitamin D is critical to bone health,” she said.

So an interdisciplinary team at the Kansas University Medical Center came together to study how vitamin D affects bone cancer. The team used cancerous tumor cells to do the research.

“My question was if the tumor recognizes vitamin D and if it would help control

the cells,” Templeton said.

In the laboratory tests, not only did the cancerous cells recognize the vitamin D, but the vitamin prevented the osteosarcoma cells from replicating as quickly and promoted the growth of normal bone cells.

“What should happen and what does happen (in the lab) is always two different things,” Templeton said. “So I was happy it turned out the way we thought it would.”

The findings are important for a cancer that hasn’t seen the treatment methods or rate of survival change in the past 20 to 25 years. Most osteosarcoma patients undergo 10 weeks of chemotherapy before the tumor is removed.

The findings suggest that a

normal-sized dose of vitamin D could become another tool in the treatment of osteosarcoma. Unlike chemotherapy, normal doses of vitamin D don’t have any negative side effects, and it is inexpensive.

Before clinical trials on humans can begin, researchers would have to test the effects of vitamin D on animals, which might include large dogs because they have a high rate of osteosarcoma.

Templeton said the findings don’t suggest people should start taking vitamin D to prevent bone cancer, although that is a connection that researchers might study in the future.

Kobach: Kansas ID law not being reviewed

4 dead after oil platform capsizes

By Scott Rothschild

Rescue workers are searching for 49 men in freezing, remote waters off Russia’s east coast after their oil rig capsized and sank amid fierce storms.

By nightfall Sunday, four men had been confirmed dead, 14 others had been plucked alive from the churning, icy waters by the ship that had been towing the Kolskaya drilling platform. But the search for the remaining men was hampered by freezing temperatures, a driving blizzard and strong winds.

Dmitry Dmitriyenko, governor of the Murmansk region in Russia’s northwest where 33 of the men come from, urged friends and families not to lose hope late Sunday but admitted the chance of the men surviving in the 33.8 degree Fahrenheit water is approaching zero.

TOPEKA — The U.S. Justice Department is reviewing new voter-photo ID laws in some states, but apparently Kansas is not one of them.

“We have not been contacted at all by the Justice Department in this respect,” said Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.

And Kobach, a Republican who pushed for the Kansas voter ID law, said he doesn’t expect the federal government to look at the Kansas measure.

Kansas was among a number

of states this year that approved laws requiring voters to show a photo ID to vote. The new requirement will be in effect for the Kobach 2012 election.

The Justice Department is looking over new laws in South Carolina and Texas. The agency has not said what other states’ laws are being analyzed.

In a speech last week in Austin, Texas, at the presidential library of Lyndon Johnson,

who signed into law the Voting Rights Act of 1965, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder vowed to enforce civil rights at the ballot box.

Under the Voting Rights Act, the federal government may block states from putting into effect laws that it deems may deter minorities from voting.

Several voting rights groups allege the ID laws will suppress elderly, student and minority voters.

Kobach disagrees, saying the ID laws are needed to prevent voter fraud.

Kansas may escape Justice Department review because it

The end of Czechoslovakia’s totalitarian regime was called the Velvet Revolution because of how smooth the transition seemed: Communism dead in a matter of weeks, without a shot fired. But for Vaclav Havel, it was a moment he helped pay for with decades of suffering and struggle.

The dissident playwright spent years in jail but never lost his defiance, or his eloquence, and the Havel government’s attempts to crush his will ended up expanding his influence. He became a source of inspiration to Czechs, and to all of Eastern Europe. He went from prisoner to president in 1989, the year the Berlin Wall fell and communism crumbled across the region.

Havel died Sunday morning at his weekend home in the northern Czech Republic. The 75-year-old former chain-smoker had a history of chronic respiratory problems dating back to his time in prison.

Havel helped draw the world’s attention to the anger and frustration spilling over behind the Iron Curtain. While he was president, the Czech Republic split from Slovakia, but it also made dramatic gains in economic might.

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback says his education funding plan will end lawsuits over how Kansas finances its public schools, but some educators and legislators doubt his changes would survive a court challenge.

Skeptics question how the plan would promise modest increases in state aid to dozens of rural districts with fewer than 500 students while providing no additional dollars to the state’s largest districts and schools with 75 percent of Kansas’ students.

Others don’t think his ad- Brownback ministration’s promise to prevent any district from seeing its aid drop is good enough to ensure an adequate education everywhere. His proposal to eliminate state limits on local property taxes also is drawing criticism.

Brownback wants to junk a two-decades-old policy of basing some of school districts’ spending authority on how many students are at risk of failing or don’t speak English well. Critics of his plan argue that the practice helps distribute more than $3 billion in state aid fairly, so that poor and minority students have similar opportunities as white and wealthy ones.

The Republican governor expressed confidence during a recent interview with The Associated Press that if the Legislature approves his proposal, the state will prevail in lawsuits, including one pending in Shawnee County District Court. He contends the changes he seeks will make the state’s school funding

Military, activists vie for support Egypt’s ruling military and the revolutionaries who demand they immediately step down battled for a third day in the streets on Sunday — and competed fiercely for the support of a broader public that has grown tired of turmoil since the fall of Hosni Mubarak 10 months ago.

Before dawn today, security forces mounted a charge and cleared hundreds of demonstrators away from the Cairo’s Tahrir Square, according to videos posted on the Internet. Earlier, a man died in custody, a lawyer said.

The protesters have tried to drum up Egyptians’ anger at the military by spreading videos and photos of military police savagely beating young men and women to the ground with sticks and truncheons — and the resonant scene of a woman in a conservative headscarf being stripped half naked by soldiers who stomp on her chest.

At least 10 protesters have been killed and 441 others wounded in the three days of violence, according to the Health Ministry.

Moreover, Special Agent David Shaver told a military hearing he discovered evidence that someone had used the computer to streamline the downloading of the cables with the apparent aim of “moving them out.”

It was the government’s first hard evidence linking Pfc. Bradley Manning with the wealth of confidential government information that showed up on WikiLeaks: battlefield reports from Iraq and Afghanistan, diplomatic communications, a military video showing a U.S. helicopter attack that killed 11 men, and more.

Shaver’s appearance capped the third day of a hearing that will determine whether Manning will be court-martialed on 22 charges, including aiding the enemy. The testimony was potentially the most damaging so far.

Even so, Kobach said he didn’t think the Justice Department could justify stopping the laws because the U.S. Supreme Court in 2008 upheld an Indiana law that required a photo ID of voters.

Coco’s hooves hadn’t been shaved for more than four years, though it’s supposed to be done every six weeks. The curled hooves caused severe problems with the pony’s bones.

But just in time to cross “pony” off a Christmas wish list, Coco is fully rehabilitated and ready for adoption.

“She’s ready to go,” said Kayse Aschenbrenner, director of animal welfare at the Lawrence Humane Society.

formula fairer, simpler and easier to understand.

“I want to see this done by legislation, not the litigation,” Brownback said. “I think we’ve got a really good chance then of being able to show the courts that we are going to and that we are dealing with what the lawsuit is alleging.”

But John Robb, a Newton attorney involved in the Shawnee County lawsuit, called Brownback’s plan “mystifying,” suggesting it will put the state in a worse position legally. Robb represents 32 students, their parents and guardians and the Dodge City, Hutchinson, Kansas City and Wichita school districts, who argue state funding is inadequate and that the money is distributed unfairly.

“It’s like pouring gas on the fire,” Robb said. “If they’re trying to end the litigation cycle, this sure won’t do it.”

The state enacted its current school finance formula in 1992, in response to a lawsuit. The state revised the formula in 2005 and 2006, also in response to litigation, with rulings from the Kansas Supreme Court mandating large increases in aid to public schools.

The latest case is scheduled to go to trial in Shawnee County in June. Robb said the complaint can be amended easily if Kansas overhauls its school funding system, with the case delayed perhaps only six months.

The state backed away from promised spending increases for schools after the Great Recession began in 2008, and Brownback successfully pushed legislators to cut base state aid per pupil by nearly 6 percent to help balance the state budget. It’s now $3,780 per student, far short of the $4,492 that state law sets as a target.

The Kansas Constitution says the state will provide for intellectual and educational improvement through public schools and that the Legislature will make “suitable provision” for financing them. The Supreme Court’s rulings in 2005 and 2006 said funding must be tied to the actual costs of providing a suitable education, leading to the $4,492 target for state aid per student.

Under the current formula,

“

It’s like pouring gas on the fire. If they’re trying to end the litigation cycle, this sure won’t do it.”

— John Robb, a Newton attorney involved in the Shawnee County lawsuit, who called Brownback’s education funding plan “mystifying” the state uses “weightings,” assigning extra value, for example, to students at risk of failing, artificially inflating the annual enrollment figure for each of the state’s 286 school districts. The policy provides extra dollars for special programs.

Brownback’s plan does away with those weightings.

Instead, it takes the money from a statewide property tax levy, projected at $538 million for the 2013-14 school year, and distributes it based on each district’s property wealth, with poorer districts getting a larger share. Under the current formula, dollars collected within a district typically are spent within that district.

State Board of Education member Ken Willard said Brownback’s proposal “is a whole lot more understandable” than the current formula. Brownback said his plan is constitutional because it sets base state aid for each school district at $4,492 per student — the target in state law.

But Brownback’s plan ties that figure to each district’s actual enrollment, not a higher, “weighted” figure.

Robb said the plan fails to acknowledge that some students, such as those who speak English poorly, require additional resources.

“There’s no point in saying, gee whiz, we’re going back to the statutory $4,492, because it doesn’t involve the weights,” said State Board of Education member Sue Storm, an Overland Park Democrat. “That $4,492 is not nearly as much as it appears.”

Brownback’s administration has made much of its promise that no district will see its state aid decrease for 2013-14. Under his plan, 182 districts would see their base aid increase by a total of $45 million, though increases are capped at 6 percent. More than half have fewer than 500 students; none of the 33 largest districts are included.

Some educators said they’re grateful the governor doesn’t plan to cut aid to schools further, but that the current amount of funding isn’t sufficient. Robb said the plan locks inadequate funding in place, divorcing it from

the actual cost of providing an education.

State school board member Sally Cauble, a Republican from Liberal, said, “Some of these schools that are being held harmless have had to do some pretty serious cutting that is affecting and is going to affect their outcomes.”

But Landon Fulmer, the governor’s policy director, told her: “The fact of the matter is public money is not unlimited.”

State Sen. John Vratil, a Leawood Republican and an attorney involved in school finance cases into the early 1990s, said the only constitutional issue he sees with Brownback’s plan is whether overall funding is adequate.

He believes past court decisions give legislators “a significant amount of latitude” if state aid per pupil is between $4,000 and $6,000.

“There is no one right figure, and everything else is wrong,” he said.

BRIEFLY Blizzard warning in effect for Kansas TOPEKA (AP) — Some parts of Kansas could see more than a foot of snow in the next few days, with blizzard conditions likely in the southwest corner of the state.

The National Weather Service in Topeka says a blizzard warning is in effect for western Kansas, from Hays down through Dodge City and on to the Colorado border, from 9 a.m. Monday to noon Tuesday.

Meteorologist Shawn Byrne says 9 to 12 inches of snow is expected in the blizzard area, with some places getting even more.

He says rain on Monday will start changing to snow in the western part of the state and move east as the day goes on.

Central Kansas could receive 8 to 10 inches of snow, while the Topeka area could get 4 to 6 inches.

After leader’s death, N. Koreans rally around Kim Jong Il’s heir

By Rafael Wober Associated Press

PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA — North Korea today urged its 24 million people to rally behind 20-something heirapparent Kim Jong Un as the nation mourned the death of supreme leader Kim Jong Il. South Korea, meanwhile, put its military on high alert, while people in the streets of Pyongyang broke into tears as they learned the news that Kim had died at the age 69 of heart failure. The United States said it was in close contact with allies South Korea and Japan.

The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said the country, people and military “must faithfully revere respectable comrade Kim Jong Un.” “At the leadership of comrade Kim Jong Un, we have to change sadness to strength and courage and overcome today’s difficulties,” it said.

HEADQUARTERS

Kim Jong Il’s successor Kim Jong Il unveiled his third son Kim Jong Un as his successor a year ago, putting him in high-ranking posts. Little is known about the younger Kim, who is believed to be in his 20s.

Kim Jong Un regularly accompanied his father on trips around the country over the past year. Kim Jong Il inherited power after his father, revered North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, died in 1994.

South Korea’s police were placed on a high alert after Kim’s death, according to the National Police Agency, and the South Korean parliament convened emergency committee sessions on national defense, intelligence and unification affairs. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak put the military on alert and convened a national security council meeting.

The South Korean and U.S. militaries have bolstered reconnaissance and are sharing intelligence assets on North Korea, according to Seoul’s Defense Ministry. About 28,500 U.S. troops are stationed in South Korea.

The White House said in a statement that it is closely monitoring reports of Kim’s death.

AT THE IRAQ-KUWAIT BORDER — Outside it was pitch dark.

The six American soldiers couldn’t see much of the desert landscape streaming by outside the small windows of their armored vehicle. They were hushed and exhausted from an all-night drive — part of the last convoy of U.S. troops to leave Iraq during the final moment of a nearly nine-year war.

As dawn broke Sunday, a small cluster of Iraqi soldiers along the highway waved goodbye to the departing American troops.

“My heart goes out to the Iraqis,” said Warrant Officer John Jewell. “The innocent always pay the bill.”

Relief, mostly When they finally crossed the sand berm that separates Iraq from Kuwait, illuminated by floodlights and crisscrossed with barbed wire, the mood inside Jewell’s vehicle was subdued. No cheers. No hugs. Mostly just relief.

His comrade, Sgt. Ashley Vorhees, mustered a bit more excitement.

“I’m out of Iraq,” she said.

“It’s all smooth sailing from here.”

The final withdrawal was the starkest of contrasts to the start of the war, which began before dawn on March 20, 2003. That morning, an airstrike in southern Baghdad, where Saddam Hussein was believed to be hiding, marked the opening shot of the famed “shock and awe” bombardment. U.S. and allied ground forces then stormed from Kuwait toward the capital, hurtling north across southern Iraq’s featureless deserts.

They slipped out under cover of darkness and strict secrecy to prevent any final attacks. The 500 soldiers didn’t even tell their Iraqi comrades on the base they were leaving.

The attack never materialized. The fear, though, spoke volumes about the country they left behind — shattered, still dangerous and containing a good number of people who still see Americans not as the ally who helped them end Saddam’s dictatorship, but as an enemy.

About 110 vehicles made the last trip from Camp Adder to the “berm” in Kuwait, the long mound of earth over which tens of thousands of American troops charged into Iraq at the start of the war.

The roughly five-hour drive was uneventful, with the exception of a few vehicle malfunctions.

Once they crossed into Kuwait, there was time for

Looking ahead The war that began eight years and nine months earlier cost nearly 4,500 American and well more than 100,000 Iraqi lives and $800 billion from the U.S. Treasury. The bitterly divisive conflict left Iraq shattered and struggling to recover. For the United States, two central questions remain unanswered: whether it was all worth it and whether the new government the Americans leave behind will remain a steadfast U.S. ally or drift into Iran’s orbit.

But the last soldiers out were looking ahead, mostly, and not back. They spoke eagerly of awaiting family reunions — some of them in time for Christmas — and longing for Western “civilization” and especially the meals that await them back home.

The 29-year-old Vorhees was planning a Mexican dinner out at Rosa’s in Killeen, Texas. Her favorite is crispy chicken tacos. Another joy of home, she said: You don’t have to bring your weapon when you go to the bathroom.

Spc. Jesse Jones was getting ready to make the 2 1/2 hour drive from Fort Hood, Texas, where the brigade is based, to Dallas. His quarry: an In & Out Burger.

“It’s just an honor to be able to serve your country and say that you helped close out the war in Iraq,” said Jones, 23, who volunteered to be in the last convoy. “Not a lot of people can say that they did huge things like that that will probably be in the history books.”

N.C. man, 23, last soldier killed in war

By Don Babwin and Tom Breen Associated Press

GREENSBORO, N.C. — As the last U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq on Sunday, friends and family of the first and last American fighters killed in combat were cherishing their memories rather than dwelling on whether the war and their sacrifice was worth it.

Nearly 4,500 American fighters died before the last U.S. troops crossed the border into Kuwait. David Hickman, 23, of Greensboro was the last of those war casualties, killed in November by the kind of improvised bomb that was a signature weapon of this war.

“David Emanuel Hickman.

Doesn’t that name just bring out a smile to your face?” said Logan Trainum, one of Hickman’s closest friends, at the funeral where the soldier was laid to rest after a ceremony in a Greensboro church packed with friends and family.

Trainum says he’s not spending time asking why Hickman died: “There aren’t enough facts available for me to have a defined opinion about things. I’m just sad, and pray that my best friend didn’t lay down his life for nothing.”

He’d rather remember who Hickman was: a cutup

who liked to joke around with friends. A physical fitness fanatic who half-kiddingly called himself “Zeus” because he had a body that would make the gods jealous.

A ferocious outside linebacker at Northeast Guilford High School who was the linchpin of a defense so complicated they had to scrap it after he graduated because no other teenager could figure it out.

Hickman was these things and more, a whole life scarcely glimpsed in the terse language of a Defense Department news release last month.

Three paragraphs said Hickman died in Baghdad on Nov. 14, “of injuries suffered after encountering an improvised explosive device.”

He was more, too, than the man who bears the symbolic freight of being the last member of the U.S. military to die in a war launched in the political shadow of 9/11, which brought thousands of his fellow citizens out into the streets to oppose and support it. Eventually, the war largely faded from the public’s thoughts.

“There’s a lot of people, in my family included, they don’t know what’s going on in this world,” said Wes Needham, who coached linebackers at Northeast when David was a student. “They’re

David Emanuel Hickman oblivious to it. I just sit and think about it, the courage that it takes to do what they do, especially when they’re all David’s age.”

And they were mostly young. According to an Associated Press analysis of casualty data, the average age of Americans who died in Iraq was 26. Nearly 1,300 were 22 or younger, but middleaged people fought and died as well: some 511 were older than 35.

“I’ve trained a lot of kids.

They go to college and you kind of lose track of them and forget them,” said Mike King of Greensboro Black Belt Academy, where Hickman trained in taekwondo for about eight years. “He was never like that. That smile and that laugh immediately come to mind.”

WASHINGTON — Top House Republicans rebelled Sunday against a bipartisan, Senateapproved bill extending payroll tax cuts and jobless benefits for two months, reigniting a politically fueled, holiday-season clash that had seemed all but doused.

T h e House GOP defiance cast uncertainty over how quickly Congress would forestall a tax i n c r e a s e Boehner otherwise heading straight at 160 million workers beginning New Year’s Day. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said it could be finished within two weeks, which suggested that lawmakers might have to spend much of their usual holiday break battling each other in the Capitol.

A day after rank-and-file House GOP lawmakers used a conference call to spew venom against the Senatepassed bill, Boehner said he opposed the legislation and wanted congressional bargainers to craft a new, yearlong version.

“The president said we shouldn’t be going anywhere without getting our work done,” Boehner said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” referring to President Barack Obama’s oft-repeated promise to postpone his Christmastime trip to Hawaii if the legislation was not finished.

“Let’s get our work done; let’s do this for a year.”

A spokeswoman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said the House would vote today to either request formal bargaining with the Senate or to make the legislation “responsible and in line with the needs of hardworking taxpayers and middleclass families.”

Cantor spokeswoman

Laena Fallon did not specify what those changes might be, beyond a longer-lasting bill.

Boehner, though, expressed support for “reasonable reductions in spending” in a House-approved payroll tax bill and for provisions that blocked some Obama administration anti-pollution rules.

Democrats leaped at what they saw as a chance to champion lower- and middle-income Americans by accusing Republicans of threatening a wide tax increase unless their demands are met. If Congress doesn’t act, workers would see their take-home checks cut by 2 percentage points beginning Jan. 1, when this year’s 4.2 percent payroll tax reverts to its normal 6.2 percent.

“They should pass the two month extension now to avoid a devastating tax hike from hitting the middle class

in just 13 days,” said Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director. “It’s time House Republicans stop playing politics and get the job done for the American people.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said by opposing the Senate bill, “Tea party House Republicans are walking away once again, showing their extremism and clearly demonstrating that they never intended to give the middle class a tax cut.”

Adam Jentleson, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said the Nevada Democrat would be “happy to continue negotiating a yearlong extension as soon as the House passes the Senate’s short-term, bipartisan compromise to make sure middle-class families will not be hit by a thousanddollar tax hike on January 1.”

Gingrich bucking political traditions

EDITORIALS

Policy challenge Coming up with the right admissions policy to build KU’s stature without limiting access will be a tricky job.

O

n the surface, the Kansas Board of Regents request that Kansas University change its student admissions standards sounds easy enough: Raise your admissions standards and you’ll get better students, retain more students, graduate more students and help preserve KU’s membership in the prestigious American Association of Universities.

In reality, the task facing KU officials is more complicated and difficult.

What the regents want KU to do is come up with an admissions policy that doesn’t necessarily restrict access to the university, but focuses on higher retention and graduation rates and keeps more academically talented Kansas students in the state. While doing this, KU has to figure out how to avoid further enrollment declines and try not to aggravate its reputation as the “snob hill” university in the state.

Lurking in the background will be the goal of solidifying KU’s position as a member of the AAU, which ousted the University of Nebraska this year and accepted the resignation of Syracuse University after informing the school a committee review likely would show Syracuse no longer met the group’s criteria.

But, hey, KU, no pressure.

The regents seem to be coming around to the idea that the six state universities can serve different missions in the state’s higher education system. The message last week was that the regents are willing for KU to distinguish itself from other state universities by setting different standards that enhance its national reputation as a comprehensive research university.

Providing access to higher education is a high priority in Kansas, but as Regents Chairman Ed McKechnie noted, “I’ve come to realize that the most important thing is for a kid to have access to a regents university as opposed to all universities.”

The state’s six universities all have the same admissions requirements for Kansas high school graduates, but the demands placed on students at those six universities vary. For some students, attending one of the state’s smaller universities or starting their post-secondary careers at a community college may be a better choice than jumping into work at KU, but setting standards and selecting students who can be successful at KU without “restricting access” can be a tricky business.

Having an AAU university in Kansas is an important asset for the state, and the Board of Regents is right to place a high priority on maintaining KU’s membership in that group.

Revised admissions standards may be an important part of that goal, but coming up with the right policy will be a challenge for KU officials.

Of all the orthodoxies Newt Gingrich has challenged over the years, there is one fundamental but unnoticed orthodoxy he is testing this political season — and it is one of America’s most beloved elements of folklore.

In one fevered month of unbroken, unprecedented and unanticipated ascent in the polls, the former House speaker is taking on perhaps the cardinal principle of presidential politics itself. It’s the notion that American chief executives win the White House by undertaking an intimate political rite of passage in Iowa and New Hampshire, winning public support one handshake and one coffee at a time, shaping their views and

Gingrich doesn’t have the time to do that. His rise came too late in the political season, and his political exchequer is too slight to undertake it.”

perspectives one gingham-covered kitchen table conversation and one raucous town meeting at a time and demonstrating the discipline required for presidential leadership by building a political organization one precinct and one county at a time.

Unconventional approach Gingrich doesn’t have the time to do that. His rise came too late in the political season, and his political exchequer is too slight to undertake it. But that is almost beside the point.

Gingrich is an insurgent, a selfstyled revolutionary, and if he is to topple bedrock principles of politics, then sweeping away one of the myths of politics is an implicit part of his movement — and an explicit part of his temperament.

Gingrich isn’t the first insurgent to ride a surge into Iowa and New Hampshire. More than a quarter-century ago, in 1984, when former Vice President Walter F. Mondale was the establishment candidate, Sen. Gary W. Hart of Colorado finished second in Iowa and then stunned Mondale by winning New Hampshire. Hart campaigned on a platform much like Gingrich’s; his mantra was “new ideas,” an intoxicating chant in a party stifled by persistent old ideas and choked by powerful old interest groups.

But the Hart campaign sweated

the details. One of the organizational architects of the Hart victory in New Hampshire was Jeanne Shaheen, later elected governor of New Hampshire and now the state’s senior senator. Quietly, out of sight of press and politicos, she and Sue Casey built a formidable political machine, perhaps the greatest organized uprising in the state since the Indian Stream Rebellion of 1832-1835.

While Hart prevailed with a melding of ideas and organization, Gingrich is operating with only half that formula. His New Hampshire organization, for example, is almost nonexistent, run by a tea party activist who has been on staff less than two months and whom GOP regulars dismiss as being on the fringe of the fringe. The campaign has about one-eighth as many coordinators as those deployed by the master of organization, the former Bain Capital business consultant Mitt Romney.

The Gingrich rationale That, of course, may mean nothing. Gingrich may have an insight (or 600 of them) possessed by few others and a campaign message unrivaled in its appeal in a time of economic uneasiness. In fact, that’s the entire rationale of the Gingrich campaign, which could be why he leads in Iowa, South Carolina and Florida — three of the first four contests. Mr. Romney retains the advantage only in New Hampshire, where he owns a vacation house and where he is a familiar figure because of his four years as the governor of neighboring Massachusetts, his presidential campaign in 2008 and his five years of nonstop organizing.

Gingrich likes nothing so much as to assail all the assumptions, and he is doing that

in the two early states, so much so that established political figures (some of whom once were rebels themselves) see his campaign as an affront to the ethos of the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary themselves.

“In New Hampshire, you have always had to run a ‘see me, touch me, feel me’ campaign,” former Gov. John H. Sununu, a Romney supporter, said in an interview. “Gingrich is campaigning through a newspaper endorsement.”

Sununu was referring to the endorsement provided last month by the state’s largest newspaper, the Manchester Union Leader, a devoutly conservative publication whose support hasn’t always provided the margin of victory.

“A Union Leader endorsement in New Hampshire is very valuable and important, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to win,” former Gov. Pete du Pont of Delaware, who won the paper’s support in 1988, said in a telephone conversation. “I noticed that myself.”

Du Pont finished in fourth place with 10.7 percent.

The question now confronting Iowa and New Hampshire is whether Gingrich has cracked the genetic code for running for president, letting poll numbers, debate performances and costfree newspaper and television interviews trump actual campaigning. He did not, for example, appear in New Hampshire for more than a fortnight after receiving the endorsement of the Union Leader, which for decades has been the torchbearer for the romantic notion that the state’s primary is the ultimate expression of press-the-flesh, meet-the-people democracy.

This gambit has been tried twice before. In 1984, the year

To the editor: I suggest the food fight between Democrats and Republicans over job creation is in fact a strawman struggle being waged to avoid coming to grips with the main issue creating the logjam.

Both sides want to get credit for creating jobs. But the Republicans block all proposals from Democrat Obama or the Democratic-majority Senate, not because they wouldn’t create jobs — they would — but because those jobs programs would be paid for at least in part by raising taxes on the top 2 percent of the population. Of course, the Democrats reciprocate, blocking all jobs proposals from the Republican-majority House, not because they wouldn’t create jobs — they would or at least might — but because they refuse to raise taxes on the aforesaid 2 percent. Thus the real issue is not jobs per se, but rather whether to increase taxes on the super-rich, or not. All the rest is camouflage.

Instead of avoiding the problem, why not face it squarely by introducing a tax reform bill whose only function would be to raise taxes on the 2 percent, without raising tax rates on anyone? The extra revenue would come from closing some of the zillion exclusions, exemptions, deferments, write-downs and other examples of the tax lawyer’s art now comprising the bulk of the entire IRS code. If the Democrats win on the 2 percent issue, it would open the way to create jobs while continuing to support funding

for other important functions. And if the Republicans win, it would open the way to create jobs by cutting other spending. True, this would cancel out some of the economic benefit of the new jobs created, but it would also have the upside of strengthening the sorry fiscal position of the country.

Either way, the logjam would be broken and jobs created.

Street sense To the editor: I hope the City Commission does NOT change the name of any part of 11th Street to honor Coach Fambrough. It is already confusing that part of 15th Street is Bob Billings Parkway and part of 23rd Street is Clinton Parkway. Our numbered street system makes it easy to navigate around our city, even for strangers. Let’s keep it simple. Please name a building or a park for the coach instead.

Mr. Hart rode his insurgency to a Granite State victory, the political experts saw the Democratic contest as a struggle between Mondale and Sen. John H. Glenn Jr. of Ohio, a former astronaut and symbolic hero of the Camelot years.

Mondale prepared for Iowa, which he won, and New Hampshire, which he lost, in the hard, traditional way, building a strong organization in Iowa’s 99 counties and New Hampshire’s 10 counties day by day. Glenn did not, relying on gauzy television ads and on a bump from the release of the Project Mercuryoriented film “The Right Stuff,” which went into wide distribution three days before the Iowa caucuses. Glenn finished fifth in Iowa, behind even Sen. Alan Cranston of California, and third in New Hampshire.

Lodge is only precedent The only success for a nocampaign campaign came 48 years ago, when Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York battled throughout January and February of 1964, only to see a write-in campaign for former Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. of Massachusetts gather inexplicable support in March. Lodge, the American ambassador to South Vietnam, never came closer to Concord or Manchester than the outskirts of Saigon, but he won the New Hampshire primary with nearly 36 percent of the vote.

Now Gingrich is challenging the traditional rhythms again.

It’s a high-stakes gamble, but then again, that’s the kind he likes best. That’s also why he has surged to the front of the polls.

Casino not worried about competition HUTCHINSON (AP) — Officials with the first state-owned casino in Kansas say they’re not worried about competition from state’s second, which is scheduled to open the day after Christmas south of Wichita.

Representatives of Boot Hill Casino and Resort in Dodge City say the Kansas Star Casino in Mulvane will pull gamblers from Oklahoma and drive tourism into Kansas, rather than hurt the Western-themed Boot Hill facility.

Officials with the Kansas Lottery, which owns and operates the casinos, say they are pleased with how the 2-yearold southwest Kansas casino has performed so far.

Lottery gaming facilities director Keith Kocher told The Hutchinson News there’s no way to tell how the Mulvane casino will affect traffic at Boot Hill, but he says it could be an interesting year.

CHIEFS 19, PACKERS 14

NO. WAY.

Tom Witherspoon twitherspoon@ljworld.com

Memory of Weis: No ‘D’ The pressure of Charlie Weis’ new job certainly will be a relief.

I witnessed his first season at Notre Dame from the bleachers. I attended nine games that season, but one sticks out.

In 2005, Pete Carroll and USC came to South Bend, ESPN “GameDay” set up shop on the quad in front of Touchdown Jesus, and the Irish and Trojans played one of the greatest games in a rivalry that dates back to 1926.

Before the 3-9 season in 2007, the program’s worst ever in many ways — the utter failure on defense in the fourth quarter game after game, the losses to Navy, the loss to hapless Syracuse in 2008, consecutive losses to the academies — before all that, Weis and Notre Dame nearly dethroned Carroll and the Trojans in the midst of the greatest part of USC’s run.

I distinctly remember after yet another inspiring 80-yard drive organized by Weis and orchestrated by his student, Brady Quinn, to put Notre Dame ahead 31-28 with 2:04 remaining that there was only one way USC could win: an epic defensive collapse by the Irish.

Through the clouded remains of all the brain cells destroyed that day, I had that thought.

It was a bad thought, because, of course, it materialized.

A sack on second-and-10 of Matt Leinart for a nine-yard loss put USC back on its 16yard line with 1:44 left. A complete pass for 10 yards to Reggie Bush made it fourth-and-nine with 1:32 left.

We all thought the game was over.

But Leinart dropped back and lofted the ball to Dwayne Jarrett up the east sideline, and Jarrett caught the ball at his knees. Jarrett went 61 yards to the Notre Dame 13. Bush then did most of the work on two carries and pushed Leinart for the final yard with three seconds left, and USC won, 34-31.

Weis’ highlight in five years at Notre Dame was the loss to USC. Then, following the 2005 season, Ohio State drubbed Notre Dame in all the major statistical categories in the Fiesta Bowl and won, 34-20.

Still, the Notre Dame base was riding high going into 2006.

At the Blue and Gold spring game that year after the 2005 season, Joe Montana and Tim Brown came back to be on the sidelines for a practice game because Charlie asked them to. The tradition was alive and well because Charlie rallied the army. Everyone was on board.

But things went downhill from there. The 2006 season, though highlighted by 10 wins to compliment the nine of 2005, included three results which clearly kept Notre Dame from the ranks of the nation’s top teams, a 41-17 loss to Michigan, 44-24 loss to USC and a 41-14 setback to LSU in the Sugar Bowl.

The defense experienced new lows in 2007, with consecutive losses to Navy and Air Force, in which Notre Dame gave up 46 and 41.

In 2008 losses to North Carolina, Pittsburgh, USC and, most embarrassingly, Syracuse, the defense could not be depended on.

In four losses to end the overall decline that was his career at Notre Dame, Weis’ defenses could not withstand Navy, Pitt, UConn and Stanford.

And I should have known it in 2005. No fan in Weis’ tenure believed Notre Dame was going to win at the end of a game, not when the other team had the ball.

INTERIM COACH ROMEO CRENNEL (IN BLACK AT LEFT) CELEBRATES WITH THE CHIEFS late in their 19-14 victory over Green Bay. The outcome Sunday in Kansas City, Mo., spoiled the Packers’ perfect season and gave the struggling Chiefs a lift.

Lowly K.C. spoils Packers’ perfection KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Mike McCarthy never put a whole lot of stock in a perfect season, except as a means of gaining homefield advantage and setting the Green Bay Packers up for another Super Bowl run.

Well, they still have a chance to earn home-field advantage.

The perfect season? That’s history.

Kyle Orton threw for 299 yards to outduel Aaron Rodgers, and the Kansas City Chiefs rallied behind interim coach Romeo Crennel for a shocking 19-14 victory on Sunday that ended the Packers’ 19-game winning streak. It was their first loss since Dec. 19, 2010, at New England.

“I personally always viewed the undefeated season as, really, just gravy,” McCarthy said. “The goal was to get home-field advantage and win the Super Bowl. That’s what we discussed.

“We were fortunate enough to be in the position to possibly achieve the undefeated season,” he added, “but we still have the primary goal in front of us, and that’s to get home-field advantage.”

Green Bay, playing without leading receiver Greg Jennings and top rusher James Starks because of injuries, can wrap up the No. 1 seed in their final two games against Chicago and Detroit. But the Packers no longer

Orton threw for 299 yards in the Chiefs’ victory over Green Bay. have the pressure of becoming the second team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl with a perfect record, or extending the second-longest winning streak in league history.

“I think our ultimate goal is to win a Super Bowl. The next step is getting that number one seed in the playoffs,” Rodgers

said. “We’ve got a home playoff game — we’ve got a bye secured.”

Rodgers was 17-of-35 for 235 yards and a touchdown, and he also scampered eight yards for another touchdown with 2:12 left in the game. But the Packers (13-1) were unable to recover the onside kick, and Kansas City picked up

a couple of first downs to secure the victory.

“They had a good game plan,” Rodgers said. “You have to give them credit.”

Ryan Succop kicked four field goals for Kansas City (6-8), which had lost five of its last six games and fired coach Todd Haley last Monday. Jackie Battle added a short TD plunge with 4:53 left, points that came in handy when Rodgers led one last scoring drive.

“Everybody had marked it off as a win for the Packers, but those guys in the locker room, they’re football players,” Crennel said.

“They decided they were not going to lay down, they were not going to give up, so they went out and played a tremendous game.”

Neither team looked all that tremendous in the first half.

Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson was hit twice with offensive pass interference, Rodgers was harassed by the Chiefs’ weak pass rush, and Green Bay wound up making five first downs.

One of them came when Kansas City’s Jeremy Horne ran into Packers punter Tim Masthay, giving them 15 free yards. The Chiefs tried to give Green Bay another gift later on the drive when Mason Crosby missed a 59-yard field goal attempt but Kansas City had 12 men on the field.

KU, Releford return to K.C. ————

Junior expects plenty of family, friends on hand for tonight’s clash

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas University junior forward Travis Releford sat behind the University of Alabama basketball bench with his mother, Venita, and other relatives Saturday night in Sprint Center.

His mission was to cheer on brother Trevor, who scored 14 points, dished six assists against four turnovers and swiped three steals while playing 37 minutes in the Crimson Tide’s 71-58 loss to Kansas State.

“It was different,” Travis Releford said of his role as cheerleader. “I let my mom do all the screaming. I was laid-back watching the game.

“I was rooting for him. I think he played well,” Travis DAVIDSON added of TrevVS. KANSAS or, a 6-foot-1 sophomore point guard Records: who, like his Kansas is 7-2; older brother, Davidson is attended Ro- 6-3 eland Park’s When: 8 Bishop Miege tonight High.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

BRIEFLY

Pacers trade Rush to Golden State INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Indiana Pacers will trade guard Brandon Rush to the Golden State Warriors for forward Louis Amundson.

The Bay Area News Group first reported the deal. Mark Bartelstein, the agent for both players, confirmed the move Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great fit for both guys,â&#x20AC;? Bartelstein said.

Rush, a Kansas University product, averaged 8.9 points and 3.6 rebounds in three seasons for the Pacers. The Pacers considered him a part of the core group of young players, but the team eventually added enough talent at his position to make him expendable.

Bartelstein said Pacers Rush president Larry Bird and general manager David Morway worked to find an ideal setting for Rush once Paul George emerged as a starter and the team added guard George Hill in a draft-night trade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pacers have been talking about this for quite a while,â&#x20AC;? Bartelstein said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really appreciate Larry and David for trying to find a good home for Brandon. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re loaded at the position. Brandon is a really talented guy who needs to play.â&#x20AC;?

Rush showed great potential at times, but also found trouble. He was suspended for the first five games last season for violating the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s substance abuse policy.

NBA

Baron Davis to Knicks?

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A person with knowledge of the plans says point guard Baron Davis will sign with the New York Knicks.

ESPN.com first reported Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; intentions.

Davis is expected to sign toay, the person told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an announcement until the signing is official.

Davis was waived last week by the Cleveland Cavaliers and designated as their amnesty player. He was not claimed and chose the Knicks, who are seeking more backcourt depth after waiving Chauncey Billups with the amnesty clause. New York had already signed another veteran point guard, Mike Bibby.

“Yeah, I do. I do think he’ll play, unless something happens negative today,” Self said before practice, asked if he thought T a y l o r would take the floor eight days after surgery to repair a torn Taylor meniscus in his right knee. “He’s going to go up and down a few minutes today, just a few.

He won’t play 30 minutes or anything. If he doesn’t have a setback today, I think he’ll be OK to at least play a little bit tomorrow.”

Self confirmed after practice that there was no “setback.”

“He was good today,” Self said.

Self said Conner Teahan would replace Taylor in the starting lineup, giving KU a backcourt of Elijah Johnson and Teahan to open the 8 p.m. game at Sprint Center.

Self said Taylor shot on Friday “pretty much full-speed.

We waited to see if there was any swelling, and there wasn’t.

He practiced yesterday some, but only half court. We waited to see today if there was much

be there. I’ll have my own little family section.”

Travis Releford has averaged 8.4 points a game off 52.6 percent shooting in KU’s nine games. The 6-6, 210-pounder has made six of 20 threes for 30 percent.

Trevor averages 10.8 points, 3.3 assists and 2.0 turnovers for 8-3 Alabama. He has made just three of 17 threes.

“I am very proud of him.

He’s playing well,” Travis said. “He played well last year, and it’s continued on this year. They’ve got a good team. Hopefully they’ll make the tournament.”

KU tonight meets a Davidson team that has been picked to win the Southern Conference. The Wildcats, who fell to KU, 59-57, in the 2008 Elite Eight in Detroit, have lost at Duke (82-69) and UNC Charlotte (84-61) and fell to Vanderbilt (87-83) at home. Wins have come against Guilford, Richmond, Presbyterian, UNC Wilmington, Wofford and Furman.

“They run motion and play fast,” KU coach Bill Self said of the Wildcats, who average 77.1 points a game to KU’s 75.3 ppg.

“Motion is the hardest thing to guard if you know what you are doing, and certainly I think they know what they are doing. They are physical and play some 1-3-1 (defense), which we have not seen yet.”

Sophomore forward De’Mon Brooks averages a team-leading 16.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. Junior guard JP Kuhlman averages 13.6 ppg, junior forward Jake Cohen 12.4 ppg and junior guard Nik Cochran 10.2 ppg.

Two local players are key Wildcat reserves. Clint Mann, a 6-7 junior from Overland Park’s St. Thomas Aquinas, and Tyler Kalinoski, 6-4 freshman out of Olathe East, average 5.3 and 4.0 points.

“That was one thing that may have been talked about,” Self said of Davidson wanting to play close to the hometowns of two players, “but ESPN thought it would be a good game as well. ESPN helped schedule the game.”

Of course, there will be references on ESPNU tonight about the ’08 thriller, which propelled KU to the Final Four, where the Jayhawks beat North Carolina

swelling, and there wasn’t.

We’re going to let him go up and down today a little bit — 10 minutes, 15 minutes — and see how he does there.

We’ll wait and see tomorrow if there’s any swelling. But if there’s not, there’s no reason he can’t play some tomorrow.”

Self reminded the media that Thomas Robinson came back from the same injury in a similar period of time last year. !

About Tharpe: Self said he did not know how much freshman point guard Naadir Tharpe would play tonight.

“It’s the hardest position to play, no question,” Self said of lead guard. “Naadir played a lot early in the exhibition games. He hasn’t played as well the past month. Since the Kentucky game, he hasn’t played as well. I hope he does (play more). Even if it’s giving us three to four minutes a half, that would be good for Tyshawn.

“He has to play better,” Self added of what it’ll take to play more. “You could say the same about any of our players if we don’t put them in. The reason guys don’t get into the game is you feel more comfortable with guys in the game than those not in the game. I’ll just leave it at that.” !

Finally practicing: Freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor, who were ineligible first semester, are now practicing with the team.

“They are fitting in well,” KU junior Travis Releford said. “Those guys have been

wanting to play since they’ve been here. It’s good to have them. They’ve been making the team a lot better the last couple days.”

McLemore, 6-foot-5 from St. Louis and Traylor, 6-8 from Chicago, will have four years of eligibility remaining starting next season.

“Ben and Jamari have been practicing well. They’ll be fun to watch next year for sure. We wish we could have had them the entire year,” senior Conner Teahan said.

“Ben’s defense is great; Jamari’s is great. They make it harder on T-Rob and the guards. It’s something that gets overlooked. How much they will bring to the table in practice is making us better.” !

Back home: Teahan, who is a graduate of Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst High, said it’ll be fun to play in KC’s Sprint Center.

“We call it Allen Fieldhouse East,” Teahan said.

“I think the Sprint Center is awesome.”

KU is 13-2 all-time in Sprint Center and 212-83 in KC. KU has played at least one regular-season game in Kansas City in 22 of the last 24 seasons, including every year the Sprint Center has existed. !

About Davidson: Davidson, located in Davidson, N.C., has an enrollment of 1,900.

Davidson is 2-0 in Southern Conference play, a league the Wildcats have won seven times in the last 11 seasons. ... coach Bob McKillop is 407266 in 23 years at Davidson.

Chiefs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

With another chance from 54 yards, the normally reliable Crosby still pushed the kick right.

Rodgers finished the half 6-of-17 for 59 yards, with a handful of drops between wide receiver Donald Driver and tight end Jermichael Finley. In fact, things were going so badly for Green Bay that at one point it ran out of the wildcat despite having one of the best quarterbacks in the game.

The Chiefs were still clinging to a 6-0 lead when Rodgers finally hit down field, finding Finley over top the coverage for a 41-yard gain.

Three plays later, the Packers’ star quarterback hit Driver in the corner of the end zone for a 7-6 lead with 8:04 left in the third quarter.

Kansas City answered when Orton hit his own tight end, Leonard Pope, for a career-long 38-yard catch. Jon Baldwin added a 17-yard grab to set up Succop’s 46-yard, go-ahead field goal.

The Packers moved into field-goal range on their ensuing drive, but rather than have Crosby attempt a 56yard kick in the same direction he had already missed, McCarthy elected to go for it on fourth-and-9. Rodgers’ pass fell incomplete and the Chiefs took over.

They needed seven plays to cover 59 yards, but had to settle for another field goal and a 12-7 lead. It was the third time the Chiefs drove inside the 5 and had six total points to show for it.

They got seven on their next trip, though.

KANSAS CITY RUNNING BACK JACKIE BATTLE (26) CELEBRATES his touchdown against the Packers in the Chiefs’ 19-14 victory Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. With first-and-goal at the 5, Thomas Jones managed to gain a yard and Le’Ron McClain bulled ahead for three more, setting up third down from just outside the goal line. Battle took the carry over the right side and powered into the end zone, giving the woeful Kansas City offense its highest-scoring game since the Chiefs beat San Diego in overtime in late October.

The Packers marched down field in the closing minutes, and Rodgers showed his moxie by scampering around the end for a touchdown that made it 19-14, but that was as close as they got.

Green Bay came into the game averaging nearly 36 points, but was held to its lowest total since beating the Chicago Bears 10-3 in Week 17 last year. The Packers needed to win that game to make the playoffs, and wound up riding the momentum to a Super Bowl victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“Davidson in ’08 was the most physical team we played all year,” Self said.

The low-scoring game was not decided until Jason Richards — not phenom Stephen Curry — took and missed a three at the final horn.

“I am thinking of ‘wide left,’ because it looked like it was on line from where I was sitting,” Self recalled of the shot. “That was one of the toughest grind-it-out games we’ve had since we have been here. We were for-

tunate that it was a coin-flip game, and we were able to come away with the W. It’s a great memory, but it was definitely one where we had to sweat. Once you get in that NCAA Tournament, people don’t understand and even coaches do not understand because you kind of wish certain things happen. Maybe you think, ‘Well, that team is not as good; it’s not seeded as high,’ but in the tournament, it is all about match-ups, and the team that Davidson had that year could match up with anybody.”

49ers bring tough ‘D’ to meeting with Steelers SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — When members of San Francisco’s dominant defensive line step into their meeting room, they might start off by discussing life away from football or any personal issue someone is facing. There’s usually some clowning around — enough that Ricky Jean Francois has referred to this intense, close-knit group as “Looney Tunes.”

The one thing that’s never mentioned is an impressive streak that has gone largely unnoticed during San Francisco’s remarkable turnaround season: The defense hasn’t allowed a single rushing touchdown this year.

If the 49ers (10-3) can keep the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3) out of the end zone on the ground tonight, they will become the first team in NFL history to do so in the first 14 games.

Monday, December 19, 2011

“We take pride in stopping the run,” defensive end Justin Smith said. “We don’t get into that. I really don’t know how many it’s been to be honest with you. It’s just one of those things, we’re in the business of trying to win a football game, not necessarily streaks or stats or anything like that. The main thing is stop the run and give our team a chance to win, and that’s what we’re all about.”

San Francisco also hasn’t allowed a 100-yard rusher in 35 straight games — though Pittsburgh’s Rashard Mendenhall, with his eight rushing touchdowns, will be determined to try to break one of those streaks.

And Pittsburgh will certainly look to run more if quarterback Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t play or is limited because of an ankle injury.

Single mother needs more financial assistance Annie’s Mailbox

for Credit Counseling (nfcc. org) at 1-800-388-2227.

Dear Annie: I have had it, umm, with people who, umm, cannot get a sentence out without saying “umm.”

You would think educated people would not do this, but they seem to do it just as much as those with less education. I’ve heard both celebrities and college professors using “umm” when interviewed on the national anniesmailbox@comcast.net news. Any suggestions? — Against Umm get the best of me. I’ve been Dear Against: People turned down for a raise at tend to say “umm” as a way work. I’m not asking for handouts. What’s a mother to do when no one is willing to help? — Need a Bigger Piece of the Pie Dear Need a Bigger Piece: Can your child support be increased through the courts? It might be possible to adjust the payments.

Is there a food depository in your area for which you are eligible? Can you talk to your doctor about your medical bills or medication costs? Are your relatives aware of your financial situation? People don’t offer to help if they don’t realize help is needed or wanted.

Also, you might be able to fine-tune your monthly budget with some assistance.

Talk to your family, and also try the National Foundation

Eames: the chair that made the world modern Even if you’ve never heard of Charles and Ray Eames, you’ve likely sat on an Eames-style chair and been influenced by their works. “American Masters: Charles & Ray Eames, The Architect and the Painter” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) celebrates the nearly 40-year collaboration of the husband-and-wife team.

The Eameses made modern design accessible to millions of consumers and created influential films, museum exhibits and marketing installations for the U.S. government and major corporations from the 1940s until Charles’ death in 1978.

The Eames chair, their best-known work, revolutionized the notion of furniture. It ushered an audaciously modern “potato chip” shape into ordinary homes, church basements and airports.

It also showed designers and manufacturers how new and seemingly mundane materials such as molded plywood, bent wire and aluminum could result in objects that became both commonplace and highly collectible and straddle the line between utility and art.

This “Masters” also offers a fascinating glance at the nature of artistic collaboration, both between a husband and a wife and between the two famous studio owners and their staff, many of whom thought they worked in obscurity to contribute to the Eameses’ allure. The same could be said of people who have worked for men named Walt Disney and Steve Jobs.

If you’re interested in the creative process, don’t dare miss “Eames.” It’s an alltoo-rare television offering about people who cared more about ideas than money.

With the holidays upon us, NBC offers the weeklong trivia game distraction “Who’s Still Standing?” (7 p.m.). A contestant stands in the middle of a circle of 10 challengers. He or she must compete in a lightning round of trivia questions with each challenger. Knock off all 10, and win a million dollars.

The visual hook to the game consists of trapdoors below every player. When a contestant loses, the door opens, dropping the player into a plastic chute and out of sight. Ben Bailey (“Cash Cab”) presides over this combination of covetousness and cruelty with a certain macho detachment.

Tonight’s other highlights

An obese bear cracks wise in the 2010 cartoon “Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special” (7 p.m., ABC).

The colony hunkers down to survive on the two-hour season finale of “Terra Nova” (7 p.m., Fox).

Rodents with squeaky voices perform on “A Chipmunk Christmas” (7:30 p.m., ABC).

Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Kelly Clarkson and Florence and The Machine are among the performers on “VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul” (8 p.m., VH1).

A hit-and-run accident on “The Closer” (8 p.m., TNT).

“The Layover” (8 p.m., Travel) explores Hong Kong.

A New York cop wants revenge on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS).
