Retailers bask in holiday afterglow Texting law

takes full effect Jan. 1

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Come Jan. 1, Kansas motorists might want to think twice before picking up a cell phone to send or read a text message. If they are spotted by a law enforcement officer, that action could cost them a $60 ticket and in Douglas County another $93.50 in court fines. Following a six-month warning period, the state’s ban on texting goes into effect at the start of 2011. “It will be enforced like any other Kansas law. You see it, you take care of the problem,” said Lt. Robert Baker with the Kansas Highway Patrol. Technically, the state law extends beyond texting to instant messages and e-mails. The law states that drivers are prohibited from using a “wireless device to write, send or read a written communication” while driving. Exceptions are provided to law enforcement officers and emergency service personnel using their phone on the job. Texts messages also can be read for emergency, traffic and weather related alerts, and for receiving information related to operating or navigating the vehicle. Texting is allowed if it would prevent injury to a person or damage to property and to report a Please see TEXTING, page 2A

Road work Shoppers return in full force seeking deals ahead in 2011

After remaining bare for a day, retail parking lots filled up Sunday as shoppers hit the streets for after-Christmas sales and returns. Stores around town saw steady business throughout the day as residents started spending grandma’s Christmas money or exchanging the sweater mom picked out. Erin Besson, a Best Buy shopper, spent part of her morning testing out different cameras and laptops. Besson said she isn’t usually a big after-Christmas shopper, but this year she had some motivation. “Part of the reason why is from getting money for Christmas,” Besson said. Other residents had planned on shopping anyway. Randy Haeffner, a shopper at Kohl’s, said he went to the store specifically looking for a vacuum. “We didn’t necessarily go

Sales, returns, exchanges and gift cards enticed shoppers back to stores on Sunday. looking for a deal,” Haeffner said. “There was some stuff we knew we needed to get.” However, Debbie Green, another Kohl’s shopper, did specifically go for the deals. Green said each year she usually does a little after-Christmas shopping because of the

great prices on items. She walked out of the store Sunday with a bag full of halfprice picture frames. “The holiday stuff is super cheap,” Green said. “I always need frames and you always take pictures at Christmas, so it’s a good buy.”

Still, some after-Christmas shoppers treat the day more like Black Friday. Missy Stirling, manager at Target, said there were around 30 or so people lined up outside the entrances by 7 a.m. when the store opened. Stirling said the store opened an hour early, would close an hour later and added extra employees to the staff to accommodate customers. In terms of buying versus returning/exchanging, Stirling said she expected business to be about even. “A lot of times customers will bring in clothes that were the wrong size or items like movies that they got more than one of,” Stirling said. For Tanya Treadway, it was the wrong size of gloves. Treadway went to Weaver’s Department Store to exchange some gloves she had bought her husband. Luckily for her, she said, the gloves are the only Christmas

Many of the road construction projects that had motorists sitting in traffic this year will return in 2011. And expect some additional projects. Short lived will be the joy that many commuters had when construction ended on a three-mile stretch of Interstate 70 this fall. Starting in March, crews will return to I-70 to begin reconstruction of a threemile stretch of road just east of the Lawrence service area. The entire $23 million project funded by the Kansas Turnpike Authority replaces six miles of 50-year-old concrete Part 3 in a series: road with a 10-inch rock base and 18 inches of asphalt. TRANSPORTATION The first half of the project began last summer and ended in November. Crews rebuilt a three-mile stretch of road from the East Lawrence interchange to the Lawrence service area. The road closure, which squeezed four lanes of traffic down to two, translated into major traffic headaches, especially during busy summer weekends and at rush hour on Friday afternoons.

A look ahead

Implementing full-day kindergarten not as simple as A-B-C, 1-2-3 By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Full-day kindergarten gives students more time to learn in class, more chances to get along with others, and more exposure to their school’s building, responsibilities and routines that will become part of their academic lives for the next 12 years and, perhaps, beyond. And that’s not all. “There’s a lot less crying,” reports Jeanne Fridell, principal at Woodlawn School, one of eight elementaries in the Lawrence school district

with full-day kindergarten. “We don’t have that anymore. It’s a lot less crying, and a lot more laughter.” Yet while administrators, school board members and many parents agree that offering full-day kindergarten throughout the entire Lawrence school district would be a great idea, few — if any — see much chance of getting the job done anytime soon. Welcome to the world of financial reality: The program now costs the district about $500,000, all of it financed through revenues

trators will be forced to endure another round of cuts when compiling their budgets, just as they did this past year when they eliminated jobs and cut programs to prevent closing schools while reducing expenses by $4.6 million.

restricted to be spent on helping so-called “at-risk” students because of their f inancial or other demographic characteristics. Adding full-day kindergarten at the other seven elementary schools where halfday classes are offered would cost another $450,000 on teachers alone, plus another $200,000 or so for materials and furnishings. That’s real money, at a time when the district doesn’t expect to receive any more money for the next academic year. The standing fear is that board members and adminis-

to 31st Street. The yearlong project will turn Kasold Drive into a fourlane road with center turning lanes and medians. Upgrades to utilities will also be made. Throughout the project, traffic will be narrowed to one lane in each direction and have a 20 mph speed limit. “It’s definitely our biggest project,” public works director Mark Thiel said. The Kansas Department of Transportation will continue working on the massive project to build a new highway between Ottawa and Lawrence. Right now, crews are still building culverts and completing grading work on the road that will be the new U.S. Highway 59 between Lawrence and the Franklin County line. Paving should start this spring, KDOT spokeswoman Kim Qualls said. The project should be finished by 2012.

At the request of the deceased, no services are planned for Wayne Daniel, 69, Tonganoxie. Cremation is planned. Mr. Daniel died Saturday, Dec. 25, 2010, at his home. He was born April 26, 1941, in Lawrence, the son of Lois Wallace and Theresa C. Loedige Daniel. He attended schools in Lawrence, and graduated from Lawrence High School. He later served in the United States Army Reserves. Mr. Daniel was a selfemployed drywall finisher and small business owner for more than 35 years, owning and operating Daniel Drywall. He enjoyed the outdoors. He married Sharon L. Freeman on May 22, 1964, in Lawrence. She survives of the home.

As for other major projects, KDOT will know more in February, Qualls said. That’s when the state agency will reveal what projects will be funded under the $8 billion transportation bill the Legislature approved last spring. Among the big-ticket items up for potential funding is the South Lawrence Trafficway, a $188 million project that will build a four-lane highway from the existing South Lawrence Trafficway at U.S. 59 seven miles east to Kansas Highway 10. This fall, KDOT held workshops throughout the state to gather community input on what projects should be funded. The need for the SLT received much support. Even if the SLT makes the cut, funding wouldn’t become available until 2013. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

If someone has to send or read a text message, Baker recommends they pull over to the side of the road to do it. Kansas Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kim Qualls said the law couldn’t come at a better time. With winter weather at hand, drivers need to be focused on the road, not their phones, she said.

district’s plans for next year take shape. “There are a lot of people out there that still think that kindergarten is just learning to draw straight lines and color between the lines and whatever,” said Mary Loveland, who has spent 20 years on the Lawrence school board. “There’s a curriculum in there, things that need to be learned. And it’d sure be nice to have a whole day to do it — for every child.”

8 American tourists killed in bus crash A tour bus slammed into a truck in southern Egypt on Sunday, killing eight Americans and injuring 21 others in the latest fatal crash involving tourists, the state news agency said. The bus was taking a tour group on the 115 mile journey from Aswan to the ancient temples of Abu Simbel along Lake Nasser, when it ran into the truck carrying sand parked on the side of a single lane desert road, killing six women and two men. The Egyptian driver and a guide were also injured in the accident. Egyptian security officials said the hurt Americans were first transferred to a military hospital for treatment and then 10 of the injured, including two Egyptians, were airlifted to a hospital in Cairo. 2 | IVORY COAST

General strike hoped to oust Gbagbo Allies of the man who the international community says won Ivory Coast’s disputed presidential election called Sunday for a general strike that would last until the incumbent hanging on to power concedes defeat and leaves office. It was the latest form of pressure to try to force Laurent Gbagbo from the presidency nearly a month after the United Nations said his political rival, Alassane Ouattara, won the runoff vote. Gbagbo has refused to leave despite international calls for his ouster, and West African leaders say they now will remove him by force if he fails to go. In an interview with Associated Press Television News on Sunday, Gbagbo said he was not concerned about world opinion, insisting he was duly elected. He said of his detractors: “Maybe they do not want me, I admit it, but I am not looking to be loved by them. I respect and abide by the Ivorians’ vote.” Djedje Mady, the head of Ouattara’s electoral coalition, said it called on “all Ivorians and those who live in Ivory Coast and believe in peace and justice to cease all their activities on Monday, December 27, 2010, until Laurent Gbagbo leaves power.”

Snowstorm complicates travel plans A winter storm made travel torturous in the Northeast on Sunday, dropping a thick layer of snow that stranded thousands of airline, train and bus passengers and made motorists think twice about hitting after-Christmas sales. More than a foot of snow was expected in some areas, including New York and Boston, where an aquarium had to protect — of all things — penguin ice sculptures from the elements. A dumping of up to 20 inches had been forecast for Philadelphia, where the Eagles-Vikings NFL game was postponed because of the storm, but by early evening meteorologists said the city would end up getting no more than a foot. More than 1,400 flights had been canceled out of the New York City area’s three major airports alone, and more cancellations were expected today. Airlines canceled flights throughout the Northeast and at airports in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Chicago and the Carolinas. They expected more cancellations today, but were trying to rebook passengers and hoped to resume normal operations Tuesday. U.S. Airways had already canceled 110 Monday flights by Sunday afternoon — spokesman Jim Olson said that was to try to keep passengers and crews from getting stranded at airports. 4 | JERUSALEM

Foreign minister: Peace is ’impossible’ Israel’s foreign minister said Sunday a peace deal with the Palestinians is impossible under current conditions and that Israel should pursue a lesser deal instead — a concept the Palestinians swiftly rejected. The latest diplomatic spat between the two sides came as violence along the Israel-Gaza border simmered. After days of accelerated Palestinian rocket attacks on southern Israel and Israeli airstrikes in response, Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinians on the border early Sunday. Avigdor Lieberman, the Israeli foreign minister, told a conference of Israeli diplomats that instead of a full peace deal, Israel should seek a long-term, interim agreement on security and economic matters. Palestinians have consistently rejected that approach. Lieberman said the West Bank Palestinian Authority — with whom Israel has pledged to negotiate — is “not legitimate” because it has postponed elections. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas remains in office though his term expired almost a year ago, and there is no date for a new election. 5 | CHICAGO

Daley now mayor 1 day longer than dad Richard M. Daley on Sunday surpassed his father’s tenure, becoming the longest-serving mayor of Chicago. Daley has served 7,917 days in office, or 21 years and eight months. That’s one day more than his father, Richard J. Daley, who died in office in 1976. Daley announced earlier this year that he would retire and not run for a seventh term. When he leaves office next spring he will have served about five months longer than his father. Between them, the Daleys have been in charge in Chicago for 42 of the past 55 years.

So, with WellCommons about to turn 1 year old (we had our unoff icial beta launch in March, and our official beta launch in April) we pulled together the top stories of 2010 for you to look at. So, with those quick figures out of the way, here’s out top 10, most-clicked stories of 2010.

10. Family of 9 finally find home after living out of Lawrence motel (Oct. 29, 2010) Earlier in the year, we introduced you to the April Schmidt and Jerry Hunt and their seven kids. For months they’d been living in a motel. Just before Halloween, we were able to bring you the good news that the family had moved out of the motel and into a home, thanks

to people who learned about their plight on WellCommons and took action to help.

9. Health experts say losing weight, staying fit is about will to change (June 25, 2010) Last summer, several entrepreneurs brought to Lawrence programs designed to give individuals incentives to lose weight. And not those tried-and-true incentives like looking better and feeling better, we’re talking about cold hard cash. So Karrey Britt, our WellCommons reporter, took a look at the programs, the successes, the failures and turning to the experts to find out whether they could work. The verdict? Maybe. What matter most is whether you, as a person, want to make the changes you need to make to be successful. 8. Iwig Family Dairy still in business thanks to loyal customers (Aug. 11, 2010) Despite several efforts to bring more local food to our area, one local dairy came within a whisker of shutting down this year. But, in August, the dairy announced that its customers had come through and purchased more than $215,000

7. Hereditary disease devastates families, but not the faith of an area woman (April 29, 2010) Sara Schmanke has Huntington’s disease. It’s a disorder passed down through families in which certain nerve cells in the brain waste away or degenerate. It commonly affects muscle coordination and cognitive functions. Despite all the challenges, Schmanke and her husband Dean have maintained their love and their faith. 6. Bedbugs are crawling into Lawrence: Experts offer tips on prevention, treatment (Nov. 5, 2010) Lawrence ratcheted up the creepy crawly factor this year when, as in many other places across the country, bed bugs moved in. They’re tough to find and even tougher to kill, but some experts weighed in with their ideas for how to keep the blood-sucking buggers at bay.

The research appears in the December issue of the American Sociological Review. Kim authored the article, titled “Have Asian American Men Achieved Labor Market Parity with White Men?” with Arthur Sakamoto of the University of Texas-Austin. They used data from the 2003 National Survey of College Graduates to compile earnings data. For Asian-American men who were born overseas and completed their education in a foreign country, the gap is even wider; they make 29 percent less than white men in the United States. The study also found that Asian-American men who earned their highest degree at an American institution — but were born and previously educated abroad — had incomes 14 percent lower than white men. Kim said the gap was shrinking, but “we still have some room to improve.” — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388. Follow him on Twitter at twitter.com/LJW_KU.

2. Lawrence resident talks about her husband’s suicide after 23 years of marriage (Nov. 21, 2010) Suicide is a difficult topic for many to talk about. In the media, we often do a terrible job of reporting on and helping people understand why people attempt or commit suicide. But in November, a national event for survivors of suicide was held in downtown Lawrence. Anita Burkhalter told the story of finding her husband dead on their back deck. Nine years before his death, he was injured by a student. The injury caused major damage to Phillip’s back that left him in chronic pain. Anita

years helping others get healthy. In April, he let it be known that he needed others’ help to get himself healthy. The doctor needed a bone marrow transplant, because of his leukemia, a disease he’d battled for five years. Lawrence Memorial Hospital held a community bone marrow registration drive in order to improve Dr. Barnes’ odds of finding a match, as well as to help others who in the future may need their own transplant.

1. Lawrence men sport red heels to support fight against domestic violence (Dec. 3, 2010) Far and away, the most clicked on story of the year was Karrey’s story about Willow Domestic Violence Center’s new calendar, featuring influential and well-known Lawrence men sporting red high heels. From KU basketball coach Bill Self to fire chief Mark Bradford to former KU basketball star Scot Pollard, the pictures in the calendar are hilarious. And it was a viral hit on Facebook, on Twitter, and on news sites all over the state. But no one else had the pictures. And this story not only did exceptionally well for us, it also generated many sales for Willow. And that’s what matters here at WellCommons. We want our stories to make a difference. I’d like to think all of the stories above made a difference in someone’s life. But with this one, I know Karrey’s story made it just a little easier for Willow to carry out its important mission.

Communityworks helping people with disabilities remain, return home CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

then-Gov. Mark Parkinson cut the Medicaid reimbursement rate by 10 percent. It was a huge blow to the agency, which primarily was funded by the state’s Medicaid program. “We had to diversify and look at what other opportunities are out there, so people can get the case management they need to stay in the community,� she said. It added case management for seniors who want to remain in their homes, and it added case management for residents who are homeless or facing eviction. Communityworks taps into a program that helps pay rent and security deposits. “It’s for anyone. They don’t have to have a disability,� Williams said. “We are doing outreach to the shelters.� The agency also has been able to access federal dollars through “Money Follows The Person.� The funding helps low-income people who have been in a skilled nursing home for 90-consecutive days, return home. “It’s a really, really neat program,� Williams said. The agency has helped 38 people, including Diana Smith, get out of an institution this year. That’s double the number it was able to help in 2009, and Williams said that’s because of Money Follows The Person. It provides unlimited funding for one year.

Communityworks Inc. is a home health agency that coordinates services so individuals can remain or return to their homes. In December, the agency’s Lawrence office relocated to a bigger space at 3210 Mesa Way, Suite B. Its phone number is 856-2370. For more information, its website is communityworksinc.com. ately put out bids to remodel the Smiths’ mobile home, so Diana could return. A wheelchair-accessible ramp with handrails replaced three front stairs. In the bathroom, they took out a wall and put in grab bars. Once home, Diana and her physical therapist went on a shopping spree at a medical supply store. They came home with exercise equipment, a foot brace, wheelchair, wheelchair cushions, silverware modifications, among other things, that would help Diana regain her independence. “Money follows the person, and it followed her right home,� Donovan said. The program also pays for a physical, occupational, cognitive and speech therapist. Diana also has a personal care attendant for 35 hours a week. The speech therapist works with Diana, her husband and their two grown daughters. The goal is to help them communicate with Diana without their finishing

‘Much livelier’ Jack Smith said they learned about Communityworks while Diana was in rehabilitation at a Topeka hospital. A hospital employee hooked the Smiths up with the agency, which then contacted them while Diana was in the nursing home. Natalie Donovan, of Communityworks, became Diana’s case manager in August. The agency immedi-

her sentences or filling in the blanks. “It’s about letting her get her own words back,� Natalie said. During the interview, Diana mostly said, “yep,� but when asked a question, Jack let her answer without interruption — no matter how long it took. “The lesson that I’ve learned from Jack and Diana is incredible support,� Donovan said. “This is a family who really came together in this crisis and have really worked together and have been accepting of all of these strangers coming in and out of their home every day.� In just a few months, Diana has made great strides. She is walking with a medical walker, bathing herself once in the tub, and helping with household chores. Her speech and concentration have improved. She recently went on a shopping trip for winter clothes with Jack and a therapist. “She shopped until she dropped,� he said, laughing. “She’s so much livelier now and alert.� Donovan said when the one-year grant runs out for Diana, Communityworks will transition her to the Traumatic Brain Injured Waiver program, so she can continue to receive rehabilitation. — Health reporter Karrey Britt can be reached at 832-7190.

Congress’ view on immigration to become tougher with GOP turnover By Suzanne Gamboa Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The end of the year means a turnover of House control from Democratic to Republican and, with it, Congress’ approach to immigration. In a matter of weeks, Congress will go from trying to help young, illegal immigrants become legal to debating whether children born to parents who are in the country illegally should continue to enjoy automatic U.S. citizenship. Such a hardened approach — and the rhetoric certain to accompany it — should resonate with the GOP faithful who helped swing the House in Republicans’ favor. But it also could further hurt the GOP in its endeavor to grab a large enough share of the growing Latino vote to win the White House and the Senate majority in 2012.

Legislation to test interpretations of the 14th Amendment as granting citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants will emerge early next session. That is likely to be followed by attempts to force employers to use a stilldeveloping web system, dubbed E-Verify, to check that all of their employees are in the U.S. legally. There could be proposed curbs on federal spending in cities that don’t do enough to identify people who are in the country illegally and attempts to reduce the numbers of legal immigrants. Democrats ended the year failing for a second time to win passage of the Dream Act, which would have given hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants a chance at legal status. House Republicans will try to fill the immigration reform vacuum left by Democrats with legislation designed to send illegal

immigrants packing and deter others from trying to come to the U.S. Democrats, who will still control the Senate, will be playing defense against harsh immigration enforcement measures, mindful of their need to keep on good footing with Hispanic voters. But a slimmer majority and an eye on 2012 may prevent Senate Democrats from bringing to the floor any sweeping immigration bill, or even a limited one that hints at providing legal status to people in the country illegally. President Barack Obama could be a wild card. He’ll have at his disposal his veto power should a bill denying citizenship to children of illegal immigrants make it to his desk. But Obama also has made cracking down on employers a key part of his administration’s immigration enforcement tactics.

Rep. Patrick Kennedy to exit from Congress, leaving a family void By Andrew Miga Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The Kennedys have held congressional seats, the presidency and the public’s imagination for more than 60 years. That era ends when Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island vacates his U.S. House seat next month, leaving a city council post in California as Camelot’s sole remaining political holding. The son of the late Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy said he has no qualms about walking away from politics. His departure marks the first time in 63 years there won’t be a Kennedy serving in elected office in Washington. “In my family, the legacy was always public service, and that didn’t necessarily mean public off ice,” Kennedy, 43, said in a recent interview on Capitol Hill with The Associated Press. He recited a long list of Kennedy family members

Kennedy

who have spurned politics and chosen lives as activists promoting issues such as the environment, human rights and

women’s issues. Kennedy plans to continue the tradition by championing a national effort to boost brain research. He hopes to inject the same urgency that his late uncle, President John F. Kennedy, inspired during the 1960s with his challenge to Americans to put a man on the moon. Still, Kennedy’s exit from the nation’s capital marks a bittersweet turn for one of America’s most powerful and prominent political families, a family that has seen its influence in Washington fade in recent years as its younger generations have largely shunned public office. “It is a milestone,” said

Allan J. Lichtman, an American University history professor. “Frankly, it’s not as if there’s a new generation of Kennedys ready to move into public life in a major way.” Politics was the family business, the lifeblood of a dynasty that often dominated the public stage with its triumphs, as well as its personal traumas. The family name has been writ large for decades. Camelot. The New Frontier. Chappaquiddick. JFK arrived as a young congressman in 1947, later capturing the White House and leaving an outsized stamp on the nation’s history. Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential ambitions were snuffed out by an assassin’s bullet, but he inspired generations of activists. Edward M. Kennedy was seen as one of the most influential senators in history. Now it’s Bobby Shriver as the lone holdout in politics, serving as a city councilor in the seaside Los Angeles suburb of Santa Monica.

BRIEFLY Thousands fear hunger after Pakistan bombing KHAR, PAKISTAN — Some 300,000 desperately poor villagers impoverished by fighting in Pakistan’s tribal belt are scrambling to feed themselves after a female suicide bomber killed 45 people outside a World Food Program food distribution center, triggering a district wide suspension of the relief project. Pakistan says the attack is a sign of insurgent desperation, but the bombing and ongoing battles challenge Islamabad’s claims of victory over al-Qaida and the Taliban in this part of the porous northwest border. WFP district coordinator Shahab Khan said on Sunday that all four food relief centers run by the United Nations agency in the Bajur district

had been shut indefinitely since Saturday’s bombing in the area’s main town of Khar.

NATO service member killed in Afghanistan KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — NATO says one of its service members has been killed in a roadside bombing in southern Afghanistan. A coalition statement said the person was killed Monday. It provided no other details. So far, 697 NATO service members have been killed in 2010, according to an Associated Press count. That makes this the deadliest of the nearly 10-year war. The southern part of the country is a Taliban stronghold and has seen some of the worst fighting this year between the militants and foreign and Afghan troops.

Chavez signs decree for disaster fund CARACAS, VENEZUELA — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday said he was signing his first decree under new powers granted to him by congress to create a fund for housing reconstruction after devastating floods and landslides. The National Assembly earlier this month granted Chavez broad powers to enact laws by decree for a year and a half. Opponents have condemned that and a package of other laws approved by Chavez’s congressional allies, saying the measures are a power grab by the president and will enable him to crack down on dissent. Chavez said more than 130,000 Venezuelans have gone to government shelters due to the disaster.

A good goal Plans to change how local United Way dollars are distributed should be viewed as an opportunity for the community.

W

e are in the season of giving. As the holidays arrive and winter sets in, there are many reminders of how important it is for individuals to give — both of their time and money — if they are able. For the social service agencies in Lawrence and Douglas County, giving is a year-round occupation. But during this season, it is important for local nonprofits to give in a way that they are not always asked to do. They need to give a new idea a chance. The idea is one that has been discussed for some time by board members of the United Way of Douglas County. It involves revamping how the United Way distributes funding to the 24 agencies it helps support. Board members are suggesting that United Way tie future funding to a set of community goals. United Way agencies — beginning in 2012 — would have to demonstrate how their agencies help fulfill one or more of those goals as part of their funding requests. The idea is still at least 14 months from being ready to implement, but already some social service providers have responded with various levels of concern, noting the new funding situation would create a “huge unknown.” Such concerns are understandable. The employees and volunteers of local social service agencies work extremely hard to make Douglas County a better place but often must work even harder to find the funding they need to continue their work. But now really isn’t the time to worry; it’s the time to dream and help set the community goals that agencies will be asked to address. This is the time for local residents to come together and determine which issues we must tackle to be the caring community that we desire. The success of the United Way’s idea will depend on how well the community comes together and plans for its future. Other United Ways across the country have been doing just that. A recent Journal-World article noted that the United Way of Central Iowa set three community goals earlier this decade: Cut by half the number of students who do not graduate on time; cut by half the number of lower-income families who are financially unstable; cut by half the number of adults and youths who are engaged in unhealthy and risky behaviors. What would be Lawrence and Douglas County’s three goals? It is exciting to ponder. Also exciting to think about is how such a process could energize the county’s donors. In Central Iowa, giving increased by 45 percent in a five-year period. In Douglas County, such an increase would equate to about an extra $800,000 per year. Such a surge in giving may or may not occur in Douglas County, but the United Way initiative has the potential to benefit the community in a number of ways. What the United Way is proposing should be viewed not so much as a big change but as a big opportunity.

Al-Maliki deals may threaten Iraq stability Just before leaving for Baghdad earlier this month, I spoke by phone to my Iraqi driver Salam, who was recently released from prison. What he told me haunted me during my visit. It made me question what kind of Iraqi regime will emerge after U.S. troops exit by the end of 2011, and what sort of long-term relationship can develop between Washington and Baghdad. Salam spent two years in jail on false charges brought by relatives of Shiite militiamen from the Mahdi Army of radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. These militiamen, who were killing Salam’s neighbors, were arrested after he tipped U.S. troops. When American soldiers left Baghdad, the killers used contacts inside Iraq’s Shiite-dominated army to get Salam — and his two teenage sons — jailed. The three were finally freed by an honest judge. But Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has now made a political deal with the Sadrists in order to finally form a government, nine months after Iraqi elections. The deal, brokered by Iran, required that large numbers of Mahdi Army thugs — like those Salam fingered — be freed from prison. This deal resurrects a fiercely anti-American group that battled U.S. forces until it was routed in 2008. With Sadrists on the loose, Salam began receiving death threats. He told me he was going to flee Iraq (to a country that, out

of concern for his safety, I won’t name). No one answered when I phoned him in Baghdad. Al-Maliki, for his part, is still dickering over key government posts with the Sadrists, who hold a crucial bloc of 40 parliamentary seats. Iran obviously influences Sadr, who lives in Iran, as well as other political parties whose leaders troop regularly to Tehran. U.S. officials profess not to be overly worried about the re-emergence of the Sadrists, or Iranian influence. “Iran is inevitably going to be a player, but not calling the shots,” one told me. As a hedge against Tehran, the United States is working to improve ties

between Shiite-led Iraq and its Sunni Arab neighbors. American Embassy officials in Iraq are pleased that al-Maliki, a Shiite, has given major government portfolios to Sunnis, who did well in the elections and feared they would be excluded. Washington hopes an inclusive government will reduce tensions. Yet Iranian meddling, and the anti-Americanism it stirs, are bound to affect the long-term U.S. role in the country. There’s been no substantial discussion yet between al-Maliki and U.S. officials about whether any residual U.S. troops might remain in Iraq, even as advisers, after 2011. Under domestic and Iranian political pressure, al-Maliki may be reluctant to consider the idea. “I hope we can start the discussion as soon after (a government is formed) as possible,” Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told journalists in Baghdad. “We are by no means out of time, but whatever agreement we are going to reach can’t wait until the end of (next) year.” Many of the U.S. military’s training functions will be taken over by the vastly expanded State Department operation in Baghdad. It will include an Office of Security Cooperation staffed by military and civilian personnel, including private contractors. Similar offices exist in the U.S. Embassies in Ankara and Cairo. And the United States’ Strategic Framework Agreement with Iraq

calls for expanded cooperation in civilian areas, including trade, education, and culture, with exchanges of students, young leaders, and museum exhibits. However, in a bad geographical neighborhood, where neighbors are keen to meddle in Iraqi affairs, a strong security relationship between Washington and Baghdad is essential. U.S. troops now mediate between Kurds and Arabs in the north. They train Iraqis to guard against external threats to their territory, including building an air defense network. And they offer visible proof of the continuing bond between the two countries. Here’s my nightmare: As Americans turn inward, the White House may lose interest in pursuing strong civilian and military ties with Baghdad, and Tehran will fill the vacuum. Secular Iraqis who believed U.S. promises, like Salam, will flee (along with Iraq’s Christians), as Muslim religious parties solidify power. A fractious government will fuel enough violence to make Iraqis yearn for a new dictator. “Where we are today has been paid for in blood,” a sacrifice shared by Iraqi and U.S. forces, said the deputy U.S. commander in Iraq, Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, last week in Baghdad. We must not allow those shaky gains to be squandered, or swallowed by Tehran. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Students at an elementary school in Caldwell, Kansas, were operating a YEARS grass-roots camAGO paign to elevate the IN 1985 ornate box turtle to official state reptile status. Sixth-graders were sending hand-written letters to newspapers, museums, and legislators. A local zoologist who supported the proposal said that the reptile had many characteristics valued by Kansans: “The box turtle is cautious, conservative. It’s very adaptable. It can be found everywhere. It is placid and peaceful.... It has all the good traits.”

Obama accepted political realities The fallout from the recent debate over extending the Bush tax cuts has helped President Barack Obama counter the conservative myth that he’s a leftwing ideologue seeking to socialize the United States. At the same time, Obama’s success in winning inclusion of some significant provisions sought by fellow Democrats and his stance on two important social issues shows how silly it is for some liberal dissidents and pundits to liken him to the weak, yet often rigid approach of President Jimmy Carter. Presidents often are defined as much by their friends as their enemies. And the bitter, last-ditch opposition by House Democratic liberals to tax bill provisions aiding wealthier taxpayers will help Obama reoccupy the crucial center of American politics. That’s always important, but perhaps more so for Democratic presidents than Republican ones. Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush took advantage of the fact there are more conservatives than liberals to base their electoral strategy on the solid support of the right, adding enough moderates to achieve a majority. Democrats don’t have that luxury, though many of the party’s most outspoken liberals seem to have trouble understanding that. As a result, its leaders need to keep the left satisfied while they craft policies aimed at the center. That’s how all three recent Democratic presidents won or retained the White House, though all three initially took advantage of the failures of incumbent Republican presidents. It’s how Bill Clinton rebuilt his political strength after the big GOP congressional election victory in 1994 and how the tax bill compromise is

the same time … he “hasAtshown he won’t abandon liberal causes that are both achievable and politically helpful.”

enabling Obama to do so now. Carter, essentially less liberal than Clinton or Obama, sought to follow a similar path but was undone by the devastating combination of soaring inflation, the Iranian hostage crisis that came to symbolize his weak international image and his alienation of the party’s left at a time it had a champion willing to take him on in the late Sen. Edward Kennedy. Still, even Kennedy couldn’t wrest party control, though he weakened Carter enough to ensure his general election defeat. As for Obama, the fervent denunciations over the tax bill were hardly the first time the Democratic left has faulted him as too prone to abandon the liberal orthodoxy they thought he would bring to the presidency. It also happened when he accepted tax cuts as a significant portion of the 2009 economic stimulus in a futile bid for GOP support; refused to make what would have been a losing fight for the “public option” on the health care bill; and coupled withdrawal

from Iraq with the dispatch of more troops to Afghanistan. To some extent, the liberal complaint on the tax bill was both that he agreed to accept compromise to achieve a greater end and that he did so without first waging a bitter battle for Democratic principles. But on both the public option on the health bill and the estate tax provision in the tax bill, Obama was simultaneously acknowledging political reality and reaching out to independent voters. At the same time, in the aftermath of the tax bill’s passage, he has shown he won’t abandon liberal causes that are both achievable and politically helpful. Repeal of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for gays in the military gives him an achievement that, though coveted by party liberals, reflects changing national sentiment. And his losing fight for the socalled DREAM Act to provide a path to citizenship via college or the military for the children of illegal immigrants both appeals to the growing number of Hispanic voters and casts Republican foes as rejecting this country’s historic role as a global beacon of opportunity. Many liberals seem afraid that the next two years will see Obama making other compromises with Republican positions. As the battles over “don’t ask, don’t tell” and the DREAM Act showed, that can happen only if enough Republicans abandon the negativism that has marked their last two years. In either case, Obama comes out as the political winner at a time when a growing number of independents wants more cooperation and less ideology. — Carl P.

Krazy Karl’s restaurant, 1811 W. Sixth, which was owned by Karl Haas, YEARS had been heavily AGO damaged by an IN 1970 early-morning fire. Firemen had been called to the scene at 4:01 a.m. and had spent three hours in sub-freezing weather extinguishing the blaze. The loss to the building was estimated at $40,000, with loss of contents estimated to be $20,000. The fire had apparently begun in a gas furnace, but arson had not been ruled out.

From the Lawrence Daily World for Dec. 27, 1910: YEARS “The Lawrence AGO post office estabIN 1910 lished a record this year in handling the immense amount of holiday mail coming into the office. In former years several delivery wagons had to be impressed into service on the last afternoon, and there always remained a stack of undelivered gifts, which brought temporary disappointment in many homes. This year all gifts were delivered promptly and without the usual accumulation.” “The Christmas spirit was apparent in the county poor farm. Supt. Heaston gave a real Christmas tree for the inmates, on which presents for every one of the old folks were hung. The old people received clothing and useful articles for their rooms. In order to make it seem as near like Christmas as possible, the old folks were given little sacks of candy and nuts.” “Christmas at Haskell began Saturday night (Dec. 24) with a distribution of gifts in the chapel, and closed with a Christmas dinner which fell little short of a banquet. The big kitchens at the Indian school cooked during the day 500 pounds of chickens, 4,400 rolls, 325 loaves of bread, 1,650 doughnuts, six bushels of sweet potatoes, 48 cakes, and 30 dozen eggs. Four hundred pounds of candy was distributed to the smaller pupils.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

MORRISON , C OLO . — Dinosaurs tramped on what was once a beach in Colorado, leaving tracks that have remained remarkably well preserved on a small slope in the mountains southwest of Denver. The tracks of the threetoed dinosaurs resemble giant chicken prints and have endured the elements for millions of years but are eroding and could soon be gone, according to Friends of Dinosaur Ridge, the nonprofit group that manages the site. But there’s no easy fix to the problem. The group proposed building a canopy over the tracks to protect them, but it’s an idea that county officials say will diminish the majestic views of Colorado’s Front Range. “The plan that they came up with includes structures and it just doesn’t work,” said Kathryn Heider, a spokeswoman for Jefferson County, which owns the land where the tracks are located 15 miles

from Denver. “It doesn’t mean we don’t want to preserve the footprints. It just means we don’t want structures on the backdrop.” Rain, snow and freezethaw cycles have caused slabs of shale to crack and break off from the slope where the tracks and micro layers are eroding, said Joe Tempel, executive director of Friends of Dinosaur Ridge. “We project that we have between 10 or 15 years to protect them or they’re going to be gone,” Tempel said. Discovered in 1937 during road construction, they show about 300 individual tracks from three types of dinosaurs, including an Iguanodon that walked on four feet. The site spans about three or four car lengths and also has tracks that were made by a crocodile. The tracks were made more than 100 million years ago, when the now mountainous area was the coast off an ancient seaway. Friends of Dinosaur Ridge has archives of photos spanning decades that show tracks that have since disappeared.

CHIEFS 34, TITANS 14

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Soccer stadium sweet KANSAS CITY, KAN. — When I first heard the name, Sporting Kansas City, I figured it was an exclusive yacht club on the river, where captains hats, blue blazers, white slacks and topsiders are the standard wardrobe. You know, one of those places where if you laugh too loudly you get accused of “ruining our entire evening.” It’s no such thing. It’s the Major League Soccer club that used to be known as the Wizards. Not sorry to see the Wizards go — any reference to Wizard of Oz is so trite, so outsider — but Sporting Kansas City? Well, the parent company is the Sporting Club, and Sporting Kansas City is its soccer club, a la Sporting Lisbon, a Portuguese outfit that includes a famous soccer club. The name doesn’t roll off the tongue, but the guess here is the new soccer-specific stadium in Village West across from the Kansas Speedway will be a huge hit from its first kick, June 9 when the Chicago Fire come to town. KC Soccer Stadium, an under-construction, 18,500-seat, $180-million venue, will be packed with sweets, suites and, most important, not a bad seat in the house. (See for yourself at www.SportingKC.com.) It became easy, after touring the stadium on a recent seeyour-breath afternoon, to project that Lawrence sports fans finally will have the chance to latch onto a big-time sports franchise that plays its home games 30 minutes away in a bigtime stadium, roughly half the time it takes to watch the Royals try to win without Zack Greinke in the rotation. The idea behind the name is consistent with the organization trying to make its fans feel not just like spectators watching soccer matches, but like members of a club. Levels within the membership will keep the youngish beer-and-peanut crowd hanging together in a sports bar-like atmosphere inside the stadium before matches, whereas the more well-off can become members of a more pricey club and have seats that position them to high-five some of the world’s most famous players as they make their way on the walk of champions and onto the pitch. In the suites, various camera angles, such as a closeup on the goalie, or the sidelines or the stands, are available to play on the multiple TV sets. Given the choice, I’d rather travel 30 minutes to watch major-league baseball, but the Kansas City T-Bones don’t resemble that, and for the past several years, neither have the Royals. The intimacy of the soccer stadium that also will be used for outdoor concerts will lead to season-ticket holders — excuse me, members — feeling connected to Sporting Kansas City’s stars, including newcomer Omar Bravo, a gifted goal scorer from Mexico. The MLS, fired up about Kansas City’s all-in commitment to soccer, has loaded Sporting KC’s schedule with road games at the start (the season opens March 19 in Carson, Calif.) in order to ensure the stadium is ready for the home portion of the schedule, which runs deep into October. The MLS has 18 teams, and each club plays everyone twice during the 34-match schedule, a season long enough to develop favorite players and villains and short enough to create an urgent atmosphere for every game at the state’s newest stadium.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WIDE RECEIVER DWAYNE BOWE (82) AND QUARTERBACK MATT CASSEL (7) CELEBRATE in the stands after Bowe scored a touchdown during the second quarter against Tennessee. The Chiefs beat the Titans, 34-14, Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

K.C. routs Titans, wins AFC West By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . — His kids started “going crazy.” His phone started ringing off the hook. Todd Haley knew good things must be happening in Cincinnati. They were. The Bengals upended the San Diego Chargers, making Haley’s Kansas City Chiefs the worst-to-first champions of the AFC West on Sunday. “Everybody that’s worked really hard and had to go through some difficult days, this is a day to enjoy and feel good about ourselves,” K.C.’s secondyear head coach It’s a said. Earlier, the huge Chiefs (10-5) had turnaround romped past Tennessee, 34-14, for us, being going from 4-12 4-12 and in 2009 and com- going pleting the great- through the est one-year turnaround in year we did franchise history. last year.” Now, with help from the Bengals, — Chiefs QB they’re AFC Matt Cassel West champions for the first time since 2003 and will be trying to improve their seed when Oakland comes to town Sunday for the regular-season finale. “Through experience, I have learned you can get things going at least in the right direction,” Haley said. “For us to get to this spot this quick I think is really great. I can’t say it was necessarily expected.” With Kansas City’s greatest one-year turnaround came great reward.

“

CHIEFS RUNNING BACK THOMAS JONES (20) DIVES for extra yards as he is tackled by Tennessee defensive end Jason Babin. Minutes after beating the Titans, the Chiefs knew their playoff goal was oh, so close, and were in no mood to celebrate their historic turnaround. “It just means we were just that bad last year,” guard Brian Waters said. “Our goal is to get to the next part of the season.” They are there, although everyone around Arrowhead Stadium has been trying to avoid even saying the word “playoffs” all week. There was obvious pride in winning 10 games; in the Chiefs’ first 50 years, five wins had been the biggest one-year improvement. “It’s a huge accomplishment,” said quarterback Matt Cassel, who threw three touchdown passes in the first half against the Titans.

“It’s a huge turnaround for us, being 4-12 and going through the year we did last year. I know there’s a ton of adversity and all those things were very difficult to handle at times. But to be here with 10 wins on our season and one win away from a division championship — I mean, it’s remarkable to say the least.” Cassel connected with Jamaal Charles for touchdowns on K.C.’s first two possessions and Eric Berry returned an interception 54 yards for another score as the Chiefs raced to a 31-7 halftime lead. Cassel hit 12 of his first 13 passes. The Titans (6-9) spent much of the game dropping passes, missing arm tackles and piling up penalties

while losing for the seventh time in eight games. Dwayne Bowe had six catches for 153 yards, including a careerlong 75-yard touchdown as the Chiefs remained unbeaten in seven home games. The Chiefs had 327 of their 458 total yards and all but three of their points while rolling up a 31-7 halftime lead. “The game got out of reach early,” Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. “You’ve got to execute to near-perfection when you get down like we were and we just didn’t do that.” A couple of times in the ragged second half, it seemed fights were about to break out. By the end of the third quarter, each team had three unnecessary roughness penalties. “It’s just two physical teams going at it,” Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers said. “Wasn’t nobody going to back down. So when you get two teams like that, stuff like that is going to happen.” The Titans, one of the league’s most penalized teams, were flagged nine times for 74 yards, while the Chiefs uncharacteristically drew seven penalties for 84. Chris Johnson, the fourth-leading rusher in the NFL, had only 58 yards on 14 carries for the Titans. “It’s always disappointing when you’re not able to run the ball. Anytime you get down like we were, there’s not much you can do,” he said. “They were stacking the box. But that’s not why I didn’t have a big day. It’s the number of touches that I had. When you go down by that many points, it’s going to be hard to have a big day.” Please see CHIEFS, page 3B

Jayhawks’ Taylor snowbound in Jersey By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Tyshawn Taylor was stuck in New Jersey and missed Sunday night’s KU practice after a blizzard hit the East Coast

A massive snowstorm that slammed into the East Coast on Sunday has delayed one Kansas University basketball player’s return from three-day Christmas vacation. “Tyshawn could not get out today. All the flights were canceled,” KU coach Bill Self said Sunday night, referring to Hoboken, N.J., junior guard Tyshawn Taylor. “Hopefully he can get out tomorrow. It’s snowing so hard they don’t even know if they can drive to the airport,” Self added

of Taylor, stuck in Jersey because of a blizzard that’s expected to dump up to 20 inches in New York/New Jersey by this morning. Five other Jayhawks from the East were able to flee the wintry weather in time for Sunday night’s practice in Allen Fieldhouse. Twins Marcus and Markieff Morris flew out of Philadelphia early Sunday, as did Josh Selby from Baltimore and Thomas Robinson from Washington, D.C. And freshman walk-on Niko Roberts, who hails from Huntington, N.Y., boarded a flight just before snow began piling up and

the wind began gusting up to 50 mph. “If Norm (Roberts, former KU assistant) had gotten Niko to the airport 35 to 40 minutes later, he (Niko) wouldn’t have been able to take off,” Self said. “Some of the guys were fortunate enough to have early-morning flights. “The twins’ flight was 8 a.m. They were able to get out, same with Josh and Thomas. Tyshawn’s flight was a little later — at 10 or 11, I believe.” The snowstorm in Philly forced the NFL to move the Vikings at Eagles game from Sunday night until Tuesday. Self, who celebrated Christ-

mas in Oklahoma with his wife and two children, had no problems making the round-trip drive to the Sooner State. The Midwesterner knows all about havoc that’s caused by snow. “It’s circumstances you are unable to control. You can’t control Mother Nature,” Self said. “The biggest thing is (that) Tyshawn gets back safely.” As far as KU’s first practice since the Cal game, Self said: “It’s just what you’d think it would be. The attitude was great, but we definitely need to run off some turkey and dressing.” Please see LITTLE, page 3B

COMING TUESDAY • Eric Sorrentino’s Big 12 bowl guide: Which conference games are worth watching and which are deserving of hitting the snooze button?

“Those are interesting comments,” Love said. “I saw what he said, and it is not like that he is the only one that thought of that before or thought of that lately. You hear rumblings of contraction.” Love leads the league in rebounding with a 15.6 average and is averaging 20.9 points. The thirdyear player also leads the NBA with 25 double-doubles. “That was just something he

said,” Love said. “I didn’t really pay too much attention to it. I just figure that when the time comes with the CBA (collective bargaining agreement), the owners and players and everybody involved will make their decision. I didn’t really think much of it.” Love admitted it’s exciting to watch teams that have more than one star player. “I don’t see it happening, but it was fun when you used to watch

By Bob Ford The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — There is no question the Minnesota Vikings have offended the gods of football this season and are sentenced to sail ghostlike through the rest of their schedule, a lost Flying Dutchman of a team paying for the hubris of its (former) captain. Navigating the treacherous Straits of Favre is not a mission for the fainthearted, apparently — or the very bright — and the Vikings are getting what they deserve for putting the rest of us through another season of All Brett All the Time. There are always innocent victims standing by the side of the road, of course, and here we are, trying to figure out if the Eagles will ultimately be helped or hurt by the Vikings-induced blizzard and the league’s decision to move Sunday night’s game to Tuesday night. Let you know in about a week. For the record, once the storm that was supposed to stay offshore came roaring inland, the NFL did the right thing by postponing the festivities. There’s little point in moaning that the game was originally scheduled to be played at 1 p.m. EDT until the league flexed it into the prime-time slot several weeks ago. That is the nature of the league’s scheduling — putting the most-interesting matchups in the high-profile slots. And as for the troglodytes who feel that canceling football games because of a little snow is an infringement on their innate right to drink heavily and then slide sideways off the Walt Whitman Bridge, well, that speaks for itself. Grow up. Driving was dangerous on Sunday and the league was correct in postponing the game. The argument that is worth having, however, is whether the game could have safely been played tonight, thus having as little effect as possible on the Eagles’ ability to recover and prepare for next Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Cowboys. That’s worth discussing, but, once again, welcome to NFL Nation, where television is king and the fans and players are mere subjects to the crown. This is a system that has made the team owners very rich and, therefore, isn’t one likely to change very soon. At the time the decision was made to push the game all the way to Tuesday night, the forecast for today called for snow showers stopping by morning, with less than an additional inch of accumulation. The league covered itself on Sunday by noting that the winter storm warning issued by the National Weather Service would remain in effect until 1 p.m. today, and that uncertainty about the conditions made a Tuesday scheduling more appropriate. Well, OK, but it also meant no conflict with “Monday Night Football, and it meant that NBC will get a big bonus game on Tuesday. If the NFL really cared about the conditions and the game, and being fair to the Eagles, then it should have scheduled the postponement for Tuesday afternoon, but that was about as likely as free parking. The real issue isn’t about the Vikings’ game. If the Eagles can’t beat this dispirited, 5-9 team with everything that’s on the line, then they aren’t going very far anyway. The issue is about the following game against the Cowboys. If the Eagles are going to get one of the two first-round NFC playoff byes, they can’t afford to lose a game. Playing a revenge game against Dallas on just four days’ rest — while the Cowboys will have seven days’ rest — is a dicey proposition. Don’t blame the snow, however. Don’t blame the city. Don’t blame the NFL. There’s nothing surprising about late December snow, a city that wants to get through it, or a league that long ago let television steer the sled.

certain teams that had certain guys, three or four superstar guys on a team,” he said. “That kind of stuff was cool. I understand what he is saying, but you never know until all the negotiations.” James, who left Cleveland to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, said last week that the league is watered down and would be more popular if there were more teams with multiple AllStars.

Love brushes off contraction comments CLEVELAND (AP) — Minnesota forward Kevin Love brushed off LeBron James’ recent comments that the NBA would be better off if it eliminated teams so more stars could play together. James mentioned Love as an example of one player he wanted to see playing on a team other than the Timberwolves, who went into their game Sunday night against Cleveland with a 624 record.

49ers fire Singletary after two tough years SAN FRANCISCO — Mike Singletary was fired by the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night after two disappointing seasons, including a 5-10 showing this year for a franchise expected to win the NFC West. The team made the announcement late Sunday upon returning to the Bay Area, several hours after San Francisco was eliminated from playoff contention with a 25-17 loss at St. Louis. Defensive line coach Jim Tomsula was promoted to interim coach and will run the team in Sunday’s season finale at home against Arizona.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Seton Hall guard shot, wounded NEW YORK — Seton Hall University basketball team senior guard Jeremy Hazell was shot and wounded Christmas night by someone who tried to rob him and was taken to a hospital, a school spokesman confirmed on Sunday. Hazell, who has been away from the basketball court since undergoing wrist surgery Dec. 2, was kept overnight at a Manhattan hospital as a precaution and was resting at home in Harlem late Sunday.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NFL President defends handling of case Panthers secure No. 1 pick SOUTH BEND, IND. — Notre Dame’s president says the university acted with integrity in its handling of sexual-misconduct allegations against a football player by a St. Mary’s College student who later committed suicide. Campus police conducted a “thorough and judicious investigation that followed the facts where they led,” the Rev. John I. Jenkins told the South Bend Tribune for a story Sunday. “I cannot stand by and allow the integrity of Notre Dame to be challenged so publicly,” Jenkins said. “The values at issue go to the very heart of who and what we are at Notre Dame.” St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak said Dec. 16 that his office won’t pursue criminal charges in the case. Nineteen-year-old Elizabeth Seeberg died of a suspected drug overdose Sept. 10. Dvorak said Seeberg accused a student-athlete of touching her breasts on Aug. 31. He didn’t reveal the name of the athlete.

Prep CB commits to Kansas By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The incoming Kansas University football recruiting class continues to pick up steam. This weekend, the Jayhawks learned cornerback Kenneth Lynn, out of Kimball High in Dallas, had become the latest member of the Class of 2011 to commit orally to KU. Lynn’s commitment to KU

came at the expense of Iowa State, which had received a pledge from Lynn earlier this year. Lynn’s relationship with KU receivers coach Darrell Wyatt and his visit to campus earlier this month led to his change of heart. “Coach Wyatt was the main recruiter at Kansas,” Lynn told Jon Kirby of Rivals.com. “He was always recruiting me and came down to see me. When I

called him he was excited I was picking Kansas. I just felt comfortable with the people and players at Kansas. I think it was a better fit for me. I know I will get along with all of the people in the program.” Lynn, 5-foot-11, 165 pounds, was named to the Texas all-district first team last week. This season, he grabbed four interceptions and returned three for touchdowns. Lynn has been clocked at 4.45 seconds in

the 40-yard dash and has a vertical leap of 36 inches. He chose Kansas over Iowa State, Memphis, Utah and UTEP. Lynn, a three-star Rivals recruit, becomes the 22nd player to commit to Kansas during coach Turner Gill’s f irst complete recruiting class. Last year’s class, which included 18 players, was made up of a mixture of players recruited by Gill and former KU coach Mark Mangino.

The Jayhawks, who headed to their hometowns after a 7863 victory over California on Wednesday night in Berkeley, will meet Texas-Arlington at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse. ●

Little practices: KU senior Mario Little practiced Sunday for the first time since his Dec. 16 arrest on charges of battery, criminal damage and criminal trespassing. Self said that, at this time, Little remains suspended from playing in games.

“He’s practicing with us. I had him take some time off. He did that, went home to Chicago to spend a few extra days with family,” Self said, adding, “He’s still part of the team. I don’t have any game plan (as far as if/when Little will play in games) as of now.” ●

What’s next?: Wednesday’s game marks the start of a three-game homestand for the No. 3-ranked Jayhawks (110). KU will play host to Miami of Ohio at 5 p.m. Sunday and UMKC at 7 p.m., Jan. 5. UT-Arlington (5-5) fell to Texas Tech, 73-56, Wednesday

Chiefs win West

Final-play field goal lifts FIU, 34-32 DETROIT (AP) — Jack Griffin’s 34-yard f ield goal on the game’s final play gave Florida International a stunning 34-32 victory over Toledo on Sunday night in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. The Golden Panthers, playing in their first bowl, faced fourth-and-17 on their final drive before picking up the first down on a hook-and-lateral to T.Y. Hilton. Replays showed he might have stepped out of bounds short along the sideline, but the play stood after a review, putting the ball at the Toledo 42-yard line. Moments later, Wes Carroll found Greg Ellingson across the middle to the Toledo 22, helping set up the final kick for the Golden Panthers (7-6). Toledo (8-5) had taken the lead with 1:14 remaining on a touchdown run by Terrance Owens and a 2-point conversion pass to Eric Page, but that was only part of a delirious finish. FIU, in only its ninth season of football, trailed 24-7 in the third quarter before Hilton returned a kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown. The Panthers went on to score 24 straight

Owens, who had thrown three interceptions in the second half, patiently led Toledo on a 62-yard drive that ended when he kept the ball himself

for a 14-yard touchdown run, then found Page on a slant pattern to put the Rockets ahead. FIU wasn’t done, though. The Panthers took over near midfield after Toledo went with a squib kick to keep the ball away from Hilton.

NBA roundup The Associated Press

Spurs 94, Wizards 80 SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker had 20 points, 14 assists and six boards, and the NBA-leading Spurs beat short-handed Washington on Sunday night. The Spurs improved to 264, rebounding from a 123-101 loss to Orlando on Thursday night that snapped their winning streak at 11. The league leaders in three-point percentage, San Antonio shot 10of-24 from long range. Manu Ginobili had 21 points, and George Hill added 11. Hill returned to the lineup after missing four games because of a sprained right toe. Rashard Lewis, acquired last week from Orlando, had 21 points for Washington, playing without suspended forwards Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee. They were suspended for one game for conduct detrimental to the team. The Washington Post said Blatche and McGee were involved in an altercation outside an area club early Friday. The newspaper reported that two league sources said the players cursed at each other and exchanged punches. The Post said another source said police were called to break up the fight.

Saints-Falcons finally a legitimate rivalry ATLANTA (AP) — Finally, one of the NFL’s most heated rivalries has two teams that are worthy of all that passion. For much of the past four decades, the fans of Atlanta and New Orleans got fired up when their teams met — but hardly anyone else paid attention. That’s all changed now. The Saints (10-4) are the defending Super Bowl champions and closing in on a return trip to the playoffs. The Falcons (12-2) have the best record in the NFC and their sights on home-f ield advantage throughout the conference playoffs. Heading into a crucial game tonight, the teams already have combined for their most wins ever in the same season. “It’s a really good time to be a Falcons fan. It’s a really good time to be a Saints fan,” said retired NFL kicker Morten Andersen, who played for

both teams and now lives in Atlanta. “All you can say is, ‘Merry Christmas!’ It should be a great game.” These teams are linked by more than proximiSAINTS VS. just ty (about a FALCONS seven-hour drive). They When: 7:30 entered the tonight NFL one year apart, Where: Atlanta the Falcons Line: Falcons by 1 in 1966, the 2 ⁄2 Saints folTV: ESPN (33, 233) lowing in ’67. They have been in the same division since the AFL-NFL merger of 1970, giving them home-andhome games each year. When the Saints head north to face the Falcons, thousands of fans from the Big Easy usually descend on the A-T-L. The situation is reversed when the teams play in New Orleans, giving Atlantans an excuse to party on Bourbon Street.

PHILADELPHIA — On a bizarre day when the Philadelphia Eagles were snowed out, they celebrated an NFC East championship. The NFL moved the Vikings-at-Eagles game from Sunday night to Tuesday because of a blizzard that could dump more than a foot of snow on Philadelphia. The game — the first on a Tuesday since 1946 — will be played at 8 p.m. EST. and televised nationally by NBC. Sidelined by the storm, the Eagles went home and watched the Green Bay Packers beat the New York Giants 45-17. That gave Philadelphia its first division title since 2006.

Mom should remain abused daughter’s lifeline Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

However, I feel an urge to salute, but I am not a veteran and don’t know if this is proper. For that matter, when I thank vets at different times during the year, would it be proper to salute, or should I simply say thanks and shake their hand? — Lockport, N.Y.

“American Masters: Genius Within: The Inner Life of Glenn Gould” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) looks at the complex man behind the popular musical legend. Along the way it examines the nature of 20th-century celebrity that had as much to do with so-call high art as popular culture. Following in the footsteps of pianists over the centuries, piano prodigy Gould conquered the music-loving public with his 1955 New York City Concert debut at the age of 22. At the depths of the Cold War, he would travel to the Soviet Union and make believers of that nation’s discerning musical audience as well. Yet less than a decade later, Gould would take the dramatic step of abandoning live performance to concentrate solely on recordings. He saw that way as a means of leaving behind the trappings of concert celebrity and trail-blazing a more intimate relationship between a single artist and an audience of one. Gould’s recordings would become essential LPs and all but redefined Bach for an upcoming generation. This “Masters” returns to some of these recordings and also includes interviews with Gould’s lover, personal assistant, collaborators and manager — in short, those who best knew the temperamental artist and interpreter. ● With a week to go in 2010, bring on the year and decade round-ups. “50 Most Insane Celebrity Oops” (8 p.m., E!) features not-so-well-thought-out antics and outbursts from Mariah Carey, Jessica Simpson, Kristen Stewart, Adam Lambert, Katherine Heigl and of course, Snooki. ● Turner Classic Movies salutes the late director Blake Edwards with four of his best-known f ilms, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (7 p.m.); “Days of Wine and Roses” (9 p.m.); “The Pink Panther” (11 p.m.) and “Victor/Victoria” (1 a.m.).

Dear Annie: Every year, our church has a veterans’ service for our members who have served, and each year they are asked to come forward for recognition. At that time, I cannot help but stand and applaud them.

For Monday, Dec. 27: This year, go off on your own fact-finding mission. You'll often find that you are in the middle of misinformation and quarrels. The end result will prove to be better. If you are single, someone quite different could knock on your door. Why not? If you are attached, the two of you often struggle about who is right. Respect your differences. Capricorn pushes you very hard.

Your visits and phone calls may be the lifeline Joan needs to find the strength to get help, and we hope you will encourage her to do so. Meanwhile, reinforce your daughter’s confidence in her ability to stand up for herself.

Dear Annie: I need to know how to react to my 32-year-old daughter when she tells me about what her emotionally abusive husband has said or done to her. “Joan” is a nurse at a hospital. Her domineering husband, “Ray,” is currently unemployed. The two of them are like oil and water. If she says the sky is blue, he says it is raining. The same goes for their parenting styles. Their 3-yearold daughter has frequent tantrums. Joan started taking away the child’s bottle because Ray was putting baby food into it so he wouldn’t have to feed her. Joan wants to start potty training, but Ray says he doesn’t have the time and wants to keep her in a diaper. Joan has become very passive. Ray has convinced her that she can’t drive the baby to my house (150 miles away) because she will surely have an accident and kill them both. If I want to see my daughter and granddaughter, I have to go there. I understand these are control issues. I just don’t know what to say when Joan calls and repeats these things. I want to help her, but my friends say I enable her to stay with Ray by making things better for her. I love them and want to do what is best. Please advise. — Sad Grammy
