CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AWARDS

A high degree of success Alex Garrison/Journal-World Photo

THIS PORTRAIT OF “WILD” SEN. JAMES LANE has been donated to the Lecompton Historical Society. The painting of Lane, a free-state firebrand in northeast Kansas in the pre-Civil War era, had been kept in his family and most recently had hung in a home in the eastern United States.

DWAYNE PEASLEE, A FORMER LEADER OF THE PLUMBERS AND PIPEFITTERS UNION LOCAL in Lawrence, is being honored as the Chamber of Commerce’s Citizen of the Years. While the chamber doesn’t usually embrace union leaders, Peaslee’s desire to create all types of jobs in Lawrence earned him the respect of the business establishment, which now is bestowing its highest award.

Citizen of the Years recipient smoothed intersection of trades, professionals

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Dropping out of Kansas University may have been the best career decision Dwayne Peaslee ever made.

He didn’t leave KU to head to some Ivy League school or anything like that. Nor did he become some Steve Jobs-like

wunderkind who created a successful business out of his garage.

Instead, Peaslee simply became a Lawrence plumber and a pipefitter. Not the owner of a Lawrence plumbing company, mind you, but rather a hired hand who worked on projects ranging from the Farmland Industries fertiliz-

er plant to dormitories at the university he left behind.

Peaslee’s blue collar path turned out like many forays into the trades do — just fine.

“You know, both of my kids graduated from college,” said Peaslee. “And even though they have both been out for a long time, neither one of them make as much as I did when I retired.

“All of us want our kids to have it better than we had it.

I understand that, but I think it is important to remember that there are a lot of good ways to make a living without a bachelor’s degree.”

Peaslee has been preaching that message for more Please see PEASLEE, page 2A

“Wild Jim Lane,” an 1890 painting of Kansas’ first senator, has recently been donated to Lecompton’s Historical Society and will be unveiled as part of a special “Bleeding Kansas” history lecture series on Feb. 5.

“The most interesting part is the way his eyes are painted,” Swain said. “There’s this crazy look.”

Swain said the process took several months because the painting wasn’t in good shape — there were scratches, about 50 holes where it had been tacked to a canvas backing and other damage – but the “details really came out” after cleaning and restoration.

Library closes the book on successful fundraising campaign

By Aaron Couch acouch@ljworld.com

The towering stack of books that has been growing in the lobby of the Lawrence Public Library has grown even taller than library officials had hoped.

Sunday afternoon, “The Wizard of Oz” became the final book added to the stack, which has acted as a progress

chart for the $1 million the library sought to raise toward an expansion project. The library held a celebration to thank its donors.

“Every community that exists espouses the importance of education and children,” said Lawrence Mayor Aron Cromwell. “In the city of Lawrence, we put our money where our mouth is.”

In all, 287 donors helped

“We wanted to usher in the next chapter of the library in a really special way,” said Kathleen Morgan, executive director of the Lawrence Public Library Foundation.

Stamberg, now a special correspondent for NPR, first came to Lawrence in the 1970s when she was the host of All Things Considered.

She did a broadcast from local NPR affiliate KANU. Stamberg told library officials last week it was the first time NPR had ever done a broadcast from the road.

Tickets go on sale today at the Lied Center and range from $25 to $50.

New definition will change rape reporting

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

The number of local and state rapes reported in FBI statistics will most likely increase in 2012 because of a recent change in how the crime is defined.

Earlier this month, the Obama administration made changes to the FBI’s 83-yearold definition of rape, used in the annual Uniform Crime Report, or UCR. The previous definition only counted forcible intercourse with a woman as rape, and the expanded definition includes offenses against men and crimes in which the victim is incapacitated by drugs or alcohol. In addition, the new definition includes cases of “oral penetration by a sex organ of another person.”

Local police agencies, such as the Lawrence Police Department, submit statistics to the FBI based on the FBI definition and not Kansas law, which currently defines rape as forced sexual intercourse against either gender.

Oral penetration, however, is classified under the state’s aggravated criminal sodomy statute.

The change will result in a “much broader definition” of rape and will be more accurate, said Bridget Patton, FBI spokeswoman.

Sex crimes in Lawrence (rape, aggravated criminal sodomy) ! 2006: 48, 20 ! 2007: 48, 20 ! 2008: 40, 6 ! 2009: 57, 21 ! 2010: 40, 15 — Rape numbers provided

by FBI annual statistics; aggravated criminal sodomy numbers provided by the Lawrence Police Department.

Joyce Grover, executive director at the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence, said that while the move doesn’t change any laws, more accurate statistics on rape could impact funding and grants. The change was long overdue, Grover said, and she’s “pleased someone in the U.S. Department of Justice made this a priority.”

Between 2006 and 2010, the number of aggravated criminal sodomies reported to Lawrence police averaged about 17 per year. Under the change, those numbers would be categorized as rape in FBI statistics. In 2010, that would’ve spiked the Lawrence numbers reported to the FBI from 40 to 55 rapes.

than 30 years in Lawrence.

In that time he’s served on the Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors and the city and county’s top economic development boards.

But what he’s really served as is the community’s unofficial Blue Collar Champion.

“Dwayne was always the guy who kept us grounded and reminded us that there are all types of people in this community, and we need all types of jobs,” said Shirley Martin-Smith, an owner of a local employment agency and a former Lawrence mayor who served on multiple boards with Peaslee.

For his efforts, Peaslee will be honored as the Citizen of the Years at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce’s annual meeting on Friday. !!!

Peaslee is not necessarily the guy you would expect to see in front of a chamber of commerce crowd receiving a lifetime achievement award.

While working as a plumber, Peaslee successfully won election as the business manager for the local plumbers and pipefitters union in the late 1980s and held the position until he retired in 1993.

To say it is rare for chambers of commerce to give lifetime achievement awards to union leaders is a bit like saying Congress kind of argues.

Maybe, then, it is not surprising that it took something as random as a messy desk to bring the chamber and Peaslee together. Peaslee started working with the chamber soon after he began going through his new desk at the plumber and pipefitters’ Lawrence headquarters off Haskell Avenue. There, he found an old “certificate of investment” that the union had purchased years ago to help the chamber of commerce with its startup costs.

Peaslee decided it was time to go collect the $100 it was entitled to from the chamber.

Then-Chamber President Gary Toebben paid the $100 debt, and the two found out they had a bit in common — mainly the desire to see more jobs in the city.

labor, and many of my peers couldn’t understand how I could get along with the chamber,” Peaslee said. “But I wanted to work with them because I had come to realize that confrontation wasn’t usually the way to get things done.”

The next thing you knew, Peaslee had become a player in the city’s economic development infrastructure. He ended up being an 11-year member of the LawrenceDouglas County Economic Development Board, was a member of the LawrenceDouglas County Planning Commission, and a member of the city’s Public Incentives Review Committee that made recommendation on tax abatements and other incentives for businesses.

Peaslee is believed, chamber leaders said, to be the only union business manager to have served on its board of directors. Martin-Smith said Peaslee’s involvement in the chamber helped build some important bridges in the community.

“Business people really ended up respecting Dwayne,” Peaslee said. “They learned that what he really is all about is putting in a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay.” !!!

These days, Peaslee, 79, spends much of his retirement talking about work. He currently serves on the Kansas Board of Education’s Advisory Council on Career and Technical Training. Over the years, various governors have appointed him to more than a half-dozen statewide commissions or boards related to workforce training.

In August, Peaslee became the first Kansan ever to be inducted into the United States Apprenticeship Association Hall of Fame.

Peaslee still uses his positions to talk about the virtues of labor unions. He’s not sure he would have had the opportunity to get into the plumbing profession in the early 1950s had it not been for weekend classes that were held by the union in the basement of the old Liberty Memorial High School building.

But he also spends some time talking about his days at KU. The son of a plumber, Peaslee thought engineering might be a good fit for him. “I didn’t do well,” Peaslee said of his time in college. “I went Commerce board of directors, the chamber’s Leadership Lawrence program and was a participant in the Kansas Community Leadership Initiative sponsored by the Kansas Health Foundation.

through high school never needing to study, then when I got to KU, I realized nobody cared whether I studied, so I didn’t.”

But he said the experience taught him something important.

“Not everyone is geared to go to a four- or five-year university,” Peaslee said. “And you know what? That’s all right.”

Peaslee, though, said he’s not sure that message is coming through very well to either high school students or their parents.

“I feel like what happens so often is that kids get pushed to get that degree, and then they get a degree in a field without many job opportunities,” Peaslee said.

Part of the issue, he said, is that the U.S. economy has changed so much that it is difficult for a high school student to get the type of once common part-time jobs that expose them to physical labor. Consequently, the idea of a physically demanding job in the trades can seem daunting — especially the idea of spending five years as an apprentice, which is the standard for plumbers and pipefitters.

Today, the building trades industry has been hammered by the downturn in the construction industry.

Peaslee, though, said there are still shortages in several skilled labor positions. He often tells a story about a ditch to help convince students to at least explore the path of a blue collar career, which he says can be a bit bumpy in the beginning but gets smoother as you go.

He said not too many years ago, a local plumbing contractor needed an apprentice at a job site to work in a ditch.

Problem was, it was July in Kansas, and the temperature was topping the century mark. Apprentice after apprentice went to the job site only to return, saying it was too hot or too dirty for them to continue.

But the third guy who went to the site stuck it out.

“That guy is now making $30 an hour, has health insurance for his family, and has a retirement plan,” Peaslee said. “It is not a bad life.”

BRIEFLY Kansas cuts food aid for illegal immigrants’ kids TOPEKA — Kansas welfare officials have eliminated or slashed food stamp benefits for hundreds of lowincome, U.S.-born children whose parents are illegal immigrants.

The cuts are the result of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services changing the way it counts household income when determining who is eligible for the food stamp program — now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. The Kansas City Star reported that families affected by the change are those that contain a mixture of legal citizens and illegal immigrants. While illegal immigrants are not eligible for the food assistance, U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants can be.

The issue is that the formula now includes the entire income of all members of a household, but calculates food stamp eligibility as if the citizen children are the only people in the household. Previously, SRS counted only a portion if one or more members did not provide proof of legal U.S. residency.

Kobach struggles to find support for hunting bill TOPEKA — Secretary of State Kris Kobach is having a tough time finding support for a plan that would allow the governor to distribute 12 big-game hunting permits at his discretion.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Kobach testified in support of the legislation this past week during a hearing before the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.

But committee chairman Larry Powell, a Garden City Republican, said there isn’t much support for the legislation outside of Kobach’s office.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism currently distributes one big-game permit per year to each of its seven commissioners. The permits allow for one whitetail or mule deer, with or without antlers, statewide in any season.

The commissioners generally give them to conservation groups, such as Pheasants Forever, which auction them off to support their missions.

‘No matter what your age, you can have fun’

Bill would keep long-term care out of KanCare plan Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposal to privatize Medicaid would put longterm care of those with developmental disabilities into the new plan.

But advocates for those with developmental disabilities say this is a bad idea because while the general Medicaid group requires medical attention a few times a year, those with severe developmental disabilities require more frequent, nonmedical help for day-to-day living.

State Rep. Jim Ward, D-Wichita, has introduced House Bill 2457 that would “carve out” of Brownback’s proposed KanCare program the management of long-term care, nonmedical services.

“The Brownback Administration appears to be on the fast track to the privatization of Medicaid,” Ward said. “Regardless of what happens with the governor’s plan, it is important that any reform efforts are deliberate and implemented safely. We must ensure that critical services for our most vulnerable citizens are not jeopardized.”

Stars of flash mob give encore performance

They’re at it again.

In December, the video of their “flash mob,” or surprise dance routine, at the Lawrence Target went viral. On Sunday afternoon, the group of Meadowlark Estates residents performed a new one at the retirement community in northwest Lawrence.

The group now has a name: The Meadowlark Chicks and the Rooster.

As they danced to a Rascal Flatts cover song, “Life is a Highway,” the Rooster, Bob MacLean, rocked an air-guitar solo with his cane.

“There was a lot more practice than the old one,” MacLean said.

Health center makes switch to electronic records Flash mob

By Aaron Couch

acouch@ljworld.com

Heartland Community Health Center may be about to take a step toward the realm of science-fiction.

A couple of weeks ago, staff at Heartland, Riverfront Plaza Suite 100, began training on an electronic health record system (EHR). Jon Stewart, Heartland CEO, said the system will streamline operations.

“We can pull up all of our diabetic patients who haven’t had an eye exam in the last year and say ‘OK, let’s send a notice to them that they need to come in for an eye exam,’” Stewart said. “It’s possible by paper, but it’s impractical.”

Physicians will also be able to see how different drugs interact with one another and be able to keep track of what other doctors have prescribed for patients they share.

That type of information can easily be lost if a paper chart is misplaced.

One drawback to EHR is that so many companies are developing them, and none of those systems talk to each other. Stewart described it as like the old war between Macs and PCs, times 100.

But that problem is being worked on, and experts believe different systems will be communicating in the near future. If that becomes a reality, any doctor would be able to pull up a patient’s entire medical history, which could reduce the mistakes an incomplete history might cause.

“Medical practices all over the country drive themselves crazy running around, looking for paper charts,” Stewart said.

That won’t be the case any longer at Heartland.

than 1.6 million hits on YouTube and was featured on NPR and the “Today Show.”

The group performed an encore with their latest routine, part of Meadowlark’s RV Road Trip, a set of activities for residents this month.

Andrea Wyatt, activity coordinator at Meadowlark, recruited the dancers after Meadowlark’s home office in Vancouver, Wash., proposed the idea of a flash mob. She said she originally posted the video online for the group’s family members to see. Nobody knew it would capture the nation’s attention.

“I had no idea it would mushroom like it did,” said Jackie Marrs, another member of the group.

Roberta Lewis, a fellow Meadowlark Chick, said the video’s popularity also surprised her. She saw pictures of it at her church, and fam-

ily members “sent it everywhere.”

Amid the overwhelming wave of media attention, Wyatt said she has loved the experience.

“It just shows you no matter what your age, you can have fun,” Wyatt said.

Marrs, who moved to Meadowlark in November, said the experience was a great way to make new friends. MacLean reconnected with relatives and old Army friends who contacted him after recognizing him in the video. He also learned a few things about the Internet.

“Tell you the truth, I hadn’t heard of YouTube (before the video),” MacLean said.

The group gave mixed answers about whether there would be another flash mob.

Wyatt said the public would have to wait and see. Lewis, understanding the importance of surprise, said she thought one flash mob was enough.

For Medicare supplement plans, Blue Cross-Blue Shield of Kansas offers a substantial premium discount if one uses hospitals on its preferred list.

LMH is not one of them. For a community wanting to be Agency: Small World more retiree friendly, why Contact: Kathy Mulindoesn’t Lawrence Memorial azzi at 785-841-3645 or kathy Hospital participate? mulinazzi@aol.com.

A:

Janice Early, LMH spokeswoman, said Blue Cross Plan 65 Select is a Medicare Select policy, which is an alternative to a traditional Medicare Supplement plan. She said LMH’s analysis of the Blue Cross Plan 65 Select determined it is not financially feasible for the hospital to participate.

To lower Blue Cross’s costs, participating hospitals must write off the patient’s inpatient deductible, which for 2012 is approximately $1,200 per admission. Fewer than 20 hospitals, out of more than 140 eligible hospitals in Kansas, participate in this plan.

“Subscribers to Select plans can come to LMH for all outpatient services without any change in coverage.

They also can still use LMH if they need inpatient services; they will, however, have to pay the Medicare deductible of approximately $1,200 per inpatient admission,” Early said.

ACCIDENT REPORT • A 30-year-old Baldwin City man was injured early Saturday morning after he was involved in a one-vehicle rollover accident between Lawrence and Baldwin City.

About 2:50 a.m., Ryan David Forker was driving southbound in the 800 section of East 1650 Road when his vehicle crossed the center line, became airborne and hit some trees, said Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Steve Lewis.

Officials worked for about 15 minutes to free Forker from his vehicle, and a LifeStar air ambulance flew him to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. The accident site is north of Vinland and south of Cedar Hill Gun Club. Forker’s vehicle carried no passengers. His condition was not available on Sunday.

Boeing to boost spending with Kansas suppliers WICHITA — Boeing is planning to boost its spending with Kansas suppliers.

Company spokesman Forrest Gossett says that while the aircraft manufacturer is closing its Wichita facility, it’s not leaving the state.

The Wichita Eagle reported that plans announced last week call for the aircraft manufacturer to increase its spending with Kansas suppliers from $3.2 billion to $4.8 billion by 2014 or 2015.

Boeing announced earlier this month that it was moving work at its Wichita plant to Oklahoma City and San Antonio. Tanker work that was to have come to Wichita will now go to the Puget Sound area in Washington state.

Boeing has about 475 suppliers in Kansas, most in the Wichita area. Kansas currently ranks fourth among the 50 states for Boeing’s supply dollars.

Rep. Giffords to resign from Congress

By David Espo Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona announced Sunday she intends to resign from Congress this week to concentrate on recovering from wounds suffered in an assassination attempt a little more than a year Giffords ago that shook the country.

“I don’t remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice,” the Democratic lawmaker said on a video posted without prior notice on her Facebook page.

“I’m getting better. Every day my spirit is high,” she said. “I have more work to do on my recovery. So to do what’s best for Arizona, I will step down this week.”

Giffords was shot in the head and grievously wounded last January as she was meeting with constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson, Ariz.

Her progress had seemed remarkable, to the point that she was able to walk dramatically into the House chamber last August to cast a vote.

Her shooting prompted an agonizing national debate about super-charged rhetoric in political campaigns, although the man charged in the shooting later turned out to be mentally ill.

In Washington, members of Congress were told to pay more attention to their physical security. Legislation

was introduced to ban highcapacity ammunition clips, although it never advanced.

Under state law, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer must call a special election to fill out the remainder of Giffords’ term, which ends at the end of 2012.

President Barack Obama on Sunday called Giffords “the very best of what public service should be.”

“Gabby’s cheerful presence will be missed in Washington,” Obama said. “But she will remain an inspiration to all whose lives she touched — myself included. And I’m confident that we haven’t seen the last of this extraordinary American.”

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he saluted Giffords “for her service and for the courage and perseverance she has shown in the face of tragedy. She will be missed.”

Advocates for children raise concerns about Park University tax, budget proposals

adds degree in fitness, wellness

By Karrey Britt

kbritt@ljworld.com

Americans need help getting back into shape, and Park University hopes to help.

The college located in Parkville, Mo., just north of Kansas City, is adding a Bachelor of Science degree in fitness and wellness in the fall.

Tom Bertoncino, chairman of the department of athletic training, said the degree could help any student who wants to improve his or her health, or take it to the next level and help others.

“Today, “I think of ex- there is a on ercise science as focus prevenjust being about tive mediexercise. Well, and there’s more to a cine, I think it person’s overall starts with health.” changes in — Tom Bertlifestyle,” oncino, chairman he said. of the departThe dement of athletic gree will training include courses in: ! Physical and physiological functions of the body. ! Nutrition. ! Ability to design a personal strength training and conditioning program. ! Prevention of injuries. ! Administrative responsibilities in fitness, wellness and recreation. ! Emergency first aid.

The new degree could help students land a job as a fitness center owner, athletic director, personal or athletic trainer or as a wellness coordinator in a community or corporate center. Bertoncino said a lot of businesses now are getting a reduction on insurance costs if they have some type of wellness coordinator on staff.

Most colleges offer a similar degree program, but they call it exercise science. Park University wanted to be different.

“I think of exercise science as just being about exercise. Well, there’s more to a person’s overall health.

There’s the fitness part, which is the exercise component, and there’s also the wellness, which is the nutrition part and hygiene part and psychology part of it,” he said.

Bertoncino said he’s already fielded a lot of inquiries about the degree, so he believes it will be a healthy addition to the 49 other bachelor’s degree programs at the college.

To learn more about the degree, visit park.edu/ athletictraining or call the Park Student Success Center at 877-505-1059.

TOPEKA — Advocates for children say they are getting hit on both sides of the ledger

by Gov. Sam Brownback.

Brownback’s plan to overhaul the state tax code inc l u d e s elimination of tax credits, such as the Earned I n c o m e Tax Credit, which is aimed at a s s i s t i n g Brownback low-income working families.

And the governor’s budget proposal for the fiscal year that starts July 1 assumes less than $40 million in funding for the Children’s Initiatives Fund. The Kansas Children’s Cabinet had proposed recommendations based on an anticipated funding level of $56 million.

Doing away with the EITC “flies in the face” of Brownback’s stated desire to reduce childhood poverty, said Shannon Cotsoradis, president and chief executive officer with Kansas Action for Children.

And Brownback’s reduction in funding in the Children’s Initiatives Fund “is a devastating blow for young children in our state,” Cotsoradis said.

Brownback, a Republican, maintains the state portion of the EITC should be eliminated because it is fraught with fraud and the dollars saved from the credit could be plowed into poverty programs that attract more federal dollars.

Brownback’s tax plan includes the elimination of numerous tax credits and deductions combined with lowering state income tax rates and reducing much of the taxes paid by tens of thousands of businesses. It would also make permanent a 6.3 percent state sales tax that was scheduled to decrease to 5.7 percent next year.

Brownback has argued his plan will spur economic devel-

opment and create jobs, which will be good for Kansans of all income levels. But as criticism has mounted, Brownback has said he is open to different tax proposals.

Kansas Action for Children has argued that elimination of the EITC would throw 4,000 more children under the poverty line. Advocates for the poor have disputed the largescale fraud allegation made against the EITC and say it is an efficient way to lower the tax burden of the working poor and help them pay their bills.

On the budget side, the KAC has expressed alarm about Brownback’s proposal for the Children’s Initiative Fund, which supports programs such as Early Head Start, the Infant-Toddler Program and Parents as Teachers.

The programs are funded through monies the state receives from the national settlement with tobacco companies.

But the governor says in his budget proposal that the funding is plagued by cash-flow problems and uncertainty.

“At issue is the timing between when the Legislature determines the budget and the receipt of the tobacco settlement payment,” Brownback’s budget recommendation says.

“By the time the state receives its payment, less than one-quarter of the fiscal year remains, at which point it is difficult to make adjustments in current year spending should the payment be less than was estimated. Because of ongoing litigation, a large portion of the state’s tobacco settlement receipts could be in jeopardy. It is the governor’s recommendation that the cycle of cash-flow problems be stopped by reducing proposed expenditures from the Children’s Initiatives Fund to fit a conservative estimate of tobacco settlement receipts,” it states.

But Cotsoradis said even if the funding comes up short, the Legislature can and should make adjustments.

Judicial moves The Kansas Supreme Court is making some good suggestions about how the state’s judiciary can operate more efficiently.

A

fter an exhaustive year-long review that resulted in a 154-page report, the Blue Ribbon Commission assigned to study the Kansas court system has come up with some common sense recommendations to make the Kansas judiciary more efficient.

Based on the report, Chief Justice Lawton Nuss asked legislators last week to consider several changes that would give the state court system greater flexibility to direct its staff and finances in a way that may reduce costs and provide better court services in the state.

Key among those recommendations was to repeal a law that requires each of the state’s 105 counties to have at least one judge. The study group concluded that the state currently has about the right number of judges but that not all of those judges are serving where they are needed most. Caseloads handled by judges across the state vary widely, leaving some judges overloaded and some underutilized. Eliminating the requirement that each county have a resident judge would allow the Supreme Court more flexibility to assign judges where they are needed, when they are needed. The commission saw no reason to consolidate judicial districts and said the clerk’s office in each court district should remain open at all times to ensure proper access to the courts.

Nuss also forwarded proposals to improve the court system’s technology to allow court documents to be filed and stored electronically. Such a move not only is a convenience but also would allow clerks in different counties to access documents and help each other when needed.

On the financial side, the commission supported legislation that would increase all court docket fees and require that all that revenue go to fund the judicial branch. At the same time, the state Supreme Court should encourage district courts to “vigorously pursue” the collection of court costs, fees and fines.

Legislators reportedly listened politely to the chief justice’s presentation Wednesday night and expressed support for the court system’s efforts to try to make the judicial branch more efficient. Perhaps the toughest issue for a number of legislators will be eliminating the one-judge-per-county rule, which will have its greatest impact on smaller, rural counties. Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican, compared losing judges to closing schools, which is never a popular move.

That’s understandable, but legislators need to look at what’s best for the state as a whole.

The Blue Ribbon Commission has done a commendable job of trying to make the court system more efficient without reducing services across the state. Its recommendations should get serious consideration in the current legislative session.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 23, 1912: “Milk chocolate is absolutely ‘tabooed.’

It is bad for University students, accordYEARS ing to the Board of Regents, and conseAGO quently they will not allow it to be sold at IN 1912 the new lunch room which will be started in the basement of Fraser hall soon. William Allen White stated in the discussion about the advisability of selling milk chocolate to appease the appetites of hungry students and possibly hungry professors and it is not known, however, whether or not professors are fond of milk chocolate or not — that milk chocolate was bad for the stomach.”

U.S.-Iran communication confirmed WASHINGTON — The Iran nuclear crisis is far from over, but Tehran appears to have made a subtle blink — backing away from its threat a few weeks ago to close the Strait of Hormuz in response to escalating U.S. sanctions.

The softening of Iran’s position followed a warning by a U.S. emissary this month that any effort to close the strait would trigger a potentially devastating U.S. response. Clearly, Tehran got the message — with a top Iranian official Thursday publicly disavowing the earlier saber-rattling.

“Iran has never in its history tried to prevent, to put any obstacles in the way of this important maritime route,” Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi insisted in a television interview during a visit to Turkey.

But in a sign Iran is pressing its broader nuclear program, Salehi warned nations not to put themselves in a “dangerous position” by allying with the U.S. What started the jitters was a bellicose statement in late December by Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi that Iran would close the strait if the West imposed new sanctions on Iranian oil. On Jan. 3, a senior Iranian admiral said his country’s navy had practiced closing the strait; he warned that the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, which recently departed the Gulf, should not return. But U.S. intelligence quickly picked up signs that some Iranian leaders were unhappy with the blustering comments.

“

Explaining Iranian behavior is always a puzzle. But it’s possible that their recent statements — both hawkish and dovish — are responses to economic sanctions that are beginning to have a serious impact.”

The foreign minister’s statements, taken with other developments, suggest that war fever over a quick confrontation at the Strait is ebbing. There’s no progress yet on the core issue of Iran’s nuclear program, but the U.S. has clarified its “red lines” in the crisis, and Iran has indicated by its public response that it understands.

Another step back from the brink was Wednesday’s statement by Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak that any Israeli attack on Iran was “very far off.”

Barak was expressing the consensus of the Israeli nationalsecurity establishment.

The American back channel to Iran is an intriguing new factor.

U.S. officials wouldn’t disclose the identity of the emissary, but they said the person delivered an oral briefing that included both the warning on the strait and the reiteration of U.S. interest in serious negotiations.

The private message is said to have been similar to a public version offered by White House spokesman Tommy Vietor: “The United States and the international community have a strong interest in the free flow of commerce and freedom of navigation in all international waterways. ... Since taking office, the president has made it clear that he is willing to engage constructively and seriously with Iran about its nuclear program.”

Explaining Iranian behavior is always a puzzle. But it’s possible that their recent statements — both hawkish and dovish — are responses to economic sanctions that are beginning to have a serious impact. I wrote last week about how Iran’s biggest customers — including China and India — are beginning to reduce their oil purchases from Iran, and looking to Saudi Arabia to make up the difference.

This oil-market squeeze has begun to produce a financial run at home, as Iranians scramble for dollars that (because of a deliberate U.S. policy) are in short supply. According to The New York Times, the Iranian currency fell to its lowest level ever against the dollar on Wednes-

day. The black market rate has fallen more than 50 percent in the last month, to 18,000 rials to the dollar compared to 11,000 to 12,000 in December.

Putting these elements together, one intelligence official who closely follows Iran explained: “Iran is deterred now from crossing the Rubicon and developing nuclear weapons.”

This official says Iran wants to obtain all the necessary components of a nuclear weapon — but wait to cross the threshold until the moment is right.

What the Obama administration wants are verifiable safeguards that, while allowing Iran to have a civilian nuclear program, prevent any breakout to weaponization. President Obama summed up his goal in an interview with Time’s Fareed Zakaria: “The Iranians have a very clear path where they say, we’re not going to produce weapons, we won’t stockpile material that can be used for weapons. The international community then says, we will work with you to develop your peaceful nuclear energy capacity, subject to the kinds of inspections that other countries have agreed to in the past.”

This confrontation still has a long way to run, with significant dangers on all sides. But last week’s exchanges made clear, at least, that urgent messages are being sent and received between Washington and Tehran.

Loss of reverence mourned You might call this a requiem for reverence.

It seems that one Jeffrey Darnell Paul, a graphic artist from Miami Beach, had been tasked with creating a poster for a strip club’s so-called “I Have A Dream Bash” last week in apparent “honor” of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. So this genius concocts an image of the nation’s greatest human rights leader holding up a fan of $100 dollar bills like some low rent “playa” while a scantily clad woman looks on. Paul, let the record show as African-Americans duck their heads in mortification, is black.

But, though he’s the one whose transgression made national news and the one who has been fielding angry phone calls from sea to shining sea, let the record further show that he is not the only individual to use King’s image that way. A Google search reveals that clubs in at least two other cities (Pensacola, Fla., and Baltimore) also thought it a grand idea to pair King with barely dressed hoochie mamas to commemorate what would have been his 83rd birthday had he not been shot in the face and killed while fighting for freedom and economic justice.

Perhaps we ought not be surprised. It is not exactly a secret that America is a nation of illiterates where its history is concerned.

But Paul’s transgression speaks to more than just the shortcomings of the ignorant. It speaks also to an overriding shallowness, an

But decades later, it sometimes feels as if irreverence has instituted a tyranny all its own, a ban against holding anything above the fray, or regarding anything as too sacred for too long.”

obsession with the superficial and trivial that seems unfortunately characteristic of this era.

It was difficult to look on that poster without feeling that, OK, here we are, this is finally it, the moment when reverence died.

But of course, one can hardly get through the day anymore without feeling that. Reverence dies repeatedly in a nation where ironic distance and postmodern cynicism are worn like armor to protect against the possibility one might accidentally feel something profound or hear some deep, affecting truth.

What a difference a generation makes.

Maybe you are old enough to remember when “reverence” became passe and its antonym, “ir-

reverence,” became the byword of American culture. Like a blast of cold air into a stifling room, it blew away the tyranny of the excessively earnest and the stiffly proper, refused to bow before cobwebbed notions of propriety, skewered sacred cows with infectious abandon. It was culture as dividing line, the bright Rubicon between Bob Hope and Lenny Bruce, Henry Fonda and Jane Fonda, Bing Crosby and Funkadelic. In a real sense, it represented the liberating of the American mind.

But decades later, it sometimes feels as if irreverence has instituted a tyranny all its own, a ban against holding anything above the fray, or regarding anything as too sacred for too long.

Worse, this new tyranny seems to portend less the liberating of the American mind than the calcifying of the American heart against the very notion of sacred things.

So Paul’s poster and the event it advertises suggest not just ignorance, but a profound unseriousness, a sense of emotional retardation unworthy of grownup people. In this, Paul is not unique.

Rather, he is emblematic. For what it’s worth, he says it never crossed his mind people would find his poster offensive.

Actually, that’s the most offensive thing about it.

— Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columnist for the Miami Herald. He chats with readers from noon to 1 p.m. CST each Wednesday on MiamiHerald.com.

To the editor: Gov. Brownback says he supports programs that: 1. raise taxes on the bottom 80 percent.

2. use the proceeds to lower taxes for the top 20 percent.

3. hit the working poor especially hard.

4. abolish the earned income tax credit.

5. for some reason, are expected lead to more future investment and more jobs in Kansas than would any other use of the money.

6. will find money somewhere to make it up to poor people .

7. will somehow increase health insurance for poor people.

Each and every part of this program stinks.

1. Raising taxes on ordinary consumers unnecessarily and during a job recession is just plain stupid. It will reduce sales and put people out of work.

2. Giving away tax money to the well-off won’t fix the problem. They consume a smaller share of income, creating fewer jobs than any other group.

3. After 30 years of stagnation for the middle class, this kind of upward income redistribution is just plain upperclass class war.

4. The earned income tax credit is widely acknowledged as about the best antipoverty program we have.

5. Throwing money at the well off creates investment only in fantasy. Real economic development programs target benefits narrowly to jobs and capital investment.

6. Historically, Brownback has always chipped away at programs for poor people. He has no credibility to promise poor people any kind of pie in the sky before you die.

7. Brownback opposes universal coverage for poor people, promised by the Affordable Care Act. David Burress, Lawrence

Numbers don’t lie: Kansas is good Kansas University, which lost two lottery picks and four starters from last season, will appear somewhere in the top five when today’s national rankings are released.

But are the Jayhawks really that good?

Well, yes.

How? In a nutshell, they play more sound basketball — at both ends and especially in transition — than opponents by having mentally stronger and physically quicker athletes play intensely and play together.

Basketball games aren’t often won by the team that has better shooters, rather the one that takes better shots, and few teams do a better job of consistently proving that than the one that faces Texas A&M tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas doesn’t have a starter who counts shooting among his top two strengths. A look at KU’s free-throw accuracy (.655, seventh in the Big 12) indicates pure shooting touches don’t fill the Jayhawks’ roster. Yet, Kansas ranks third in the Big 12 in field-goal percentage (.487), behind Baylor (.500) and Missouri (.492).

Kansas obviously is at its best on the run, where numbers advantages lead to dunks and layups. But even in the halfcourt, KU gets good shots, either from Tyshawn Taylor driving to the hoop for buckets or to set up teammates when the defense breaks down, or by the players moving the ball so quickly with passes the defense can’t keep up.

Despite all the complaining about Taylor’s penchant for wild passes, he is the point guard for the team that leads the conference with a 1.37 assists-to-turnovers ratio. Elijah Johnson (1.92) ranks fifth, Taylor (1.3) ninth.

In an 18-point victory against Baylor in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas showed superior offensive patience and typically waited to take three-pointers until they were wide-open shots. Baylor repeatedly jacked up threes early in the clock.

In Austin, where Kansas won by three points, J’Covan Brown launched 26 shots in his final 30 minutes on the court, a rate of nearly one per minute. In the game’s final 7:06, Brown took eight shots, the rest of the Longhorns two. Even on a Kansas team in which two players, Thomas Robinson and Taylor, clearly are the best scoring options, that sort of ball-hoggery just doesn’t take place.

Defensively, the quick and conditioned, long and strong, Kansas athletes have limited conference foes to .364 shooting, best in the conference, and .300 three-point shooting, tied with Kansas State for second behind Iowa State (.274). The Jayhawks lead the Big 12 with a plus-6.7 rebounding margin.

Bill Self’s team has become more confident and intense, winning nine in a row since the Davidson debacle. He knows how much his players can handle in terms of turning up the heat in practice and taking off the pressure during games.

During a timeout with eight seconds left, KU up two on Texas, and Thomas Robinson set to head to the line for two shots, Self kept it simple.

“I think that’s hard to do when you give guys three scenarios, ‘OK, if we’re up two, if we’re up three, if we’re up four,’ I don’t think that would be smart,” Self said. “I think our guys could forget, or one guy messes up, or next thing you know, a guy clips off an open one.”

Kansas takes a lot more open ones than it allows.

KANSAS FOOTBALL COACH CHARLIE WEIS TALKS with media members on Jan. 16 at the Anderson Family Football Complex.

Weis seeks jucos, transfers to bolster roster

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Less than 10 days remain before the Feb. 1 college football signing day, and first-year Kansas University coach Charlie Weis and his staff continue to try to make up for lost time.

With 10 players from the Class of 2012 orally committed — cornerbacks H.B. Rosser and Derek Keaton both recently dropped off KU’s radar — and another three already on campus, the Jayhawks have as many as 12 spots remaining in this year’s class.

Although the final number in this year’s class remains up in the air, Weis said during a recent meeting with the media that it would be somewhere in the 20s.

He also said he would save at least a couple of spots for future transfers who will graduate in May and be eligible to play right away, as was the case with new quarterback

Dayne Crist, who graduated from Notre Dame in December with one year of eligibility remaining.

Two likely candidates are: tight end Mike Ragone, of Cherry Hill, N.J., and offensive guard Trevor Robinson, of Elkhorn, Neb. The 6-foot-5, 311-pound Robinson, ranked by some recruiting services as the top guard in the

country during his senior season at Elkhorn High, was recruited to Notre Dame by Weis and started every game of his sophomore, junior and senior seasons.

Ragone, who missed most of the 2011 season but made nine starts and appeared in 35 games during his first three years at Notre Dame, also was recruited by Weis.

During his senior season at Camden Catholic High, Ragone, 6-4, 250, was ranked the No. 3 tight end in the nation, the sixth-best player in New Jersey regardless of position and 83rd on the Rivals 100. He caught 12 passes for 119 yards at Notre Dame. Should he choose to finish his career at Kansas, Ragone would be playing his sixth season of college football in 2012.

“Let’s use this fifth-year rule, where a college graduate that has another year of eligibility can move on to another place,” Weis Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

Texas A&M assistant basketball coach Kyle Keller considered bringing his entire family to Allen Fieldhouse for today’s 8 p.m., ESPN Big Monday battle against Kansas University.

“My wife (Chaunsea) and I thought about it, but I think my daughter would root for the Jayhawks more than the Aggies,” Keller said of 5-year-old Kenzie.

“I’m afraid she’d go for Thomas (Robinson), Tyshawn (Taylor) and those guys more than our team. She loves those guys,” Keller added with a laugh.

Penn St. coaching legend Joe Paterno dies at age 85 “

Carolyn Kaster/AP File Photo

IN THIS SEPT. 4, 2004, FILE PHOTO, PENN STATE COACH JOE PATERNO LEADS HIS TEAM ONTO THE FIELD in State College, Pa. Paterno, the longtime Penn State coach who won more games than anyone else in major-college football but was fired amid a child sex abuse scandal that scarred his reputation for winning with integrity, died Sunday. He was 85.

STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) — Other than family, football was everything to Joe Paterno. It was his lifeblood. It kept him pumped.

Life could not be the same without it.

“Right now, I’m not the coach.

And I’ve got to get used to that,” Paterno said after the Penn State Board of Trustees fired him at the height of a child sex abuse scandal.

Before he could, he ran out of time.

Paterno, a sainted figure at Penn State for almost half a century but scarred forever by the scandal involving his one-time heir apparent, died Sunday at age 85.

His death came just 65 days after his son Scott said his father had been diagnosed with lung cancer. Mount Nittany Medical Center said he died at 9:25 a.m. of “metastatic small cell carcinoma of the lung,” an aggressive cancer that had spread from one part of the body to an unrelated area.

Friends and former colleagues believe there were other factors — the kind that wouldn’t appear on a death certificate.

“You can die of heartbreak.

I’m sure Joe had some heartbreak, too,” said 82-year-old Bobby Bowden, the former Florida State coach who retired two years ago after 34 seasons in Tallahassee.

You can die of heartbreak. I’m sure Joe had some heartbreak, too.”

— Former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, on Joe Paterno’s final months, which were engulfed in a child sex abuse scandal Longtime Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said he suspected “the emotional turmoil of the last few weeks might have played into it.”

And Mickey Shuler, who played tight end for Paterno from 1975 to 1977, held his alma mater accountable.

“I don’t think that the Penn State that he helped us to become and all the principles and values and things that he taught were carried out in the handling of his situation,” he said.

Paterno’s death just under three months following his last victory called to mind another coaching great, Alabama’s Paul “Bear” Bryant, who died less than a month after retiring.

“Quit coaching?” Bryant said late in his career. “I’d croak in a week.”

Paterno alluded to the remark made by his friend and rival, saying in 2003: “There isn’t anything in my life anymore except my family and my football. I think about it all the time.”

The winningest coach in major-college football, Paterno roamed the Penn State sidelines for 46 seasons, his thick-rimmed glasses, windbreaker and jetblack sneakers as familiar as the Nittany Lions’ blue and white uniforms.

His devotion to what he called “Success with Honor” made Paterno’s fall all the more startling.

Happy Valley seemed perfect for him, a place where “JoePa” knew best, where he not only won more football games than any other major-college coach, but won them the right way. With Paterno, character came first, championships second, academics before athletics. He insisted that on-field success not come at the expense of graduation rates.

But in the middle of his final season, the legend was shattered.

Paterno was engulfed in a child sex abuse scandal when a former trusted assistant, Jerry Sandusky, was accused of molesting 10 boys over a 15-year span, sometimes in the football building.

Outrage built quickly after the state’s top law enforcement official said the coach hadn’t fulfilled a moral obligation to go to authorities when a graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, reported seeing Sandusky with a young boy in the showers of the football complex in 2002.

Professors seek answers for college sports TULSA, OKLA. (AP) — They threw around ideas people dream about — a 64-team football playoff — and others that might be more realistic: finding a way to let players receive a small stipend in addition to their scholarships.

A group of reform-minded professors who represent their faculties on the Coalition On Intercollegiate Athletics met this weekend to talk about the many

changes they’d like to see in college sports and the precious few they might help push through.

This year’s annual meeting came in the midst of some troubling times for college athletics.

Over the past year, the NCAA has endured scandals at — to name a few — Miami, North Carolina, Ohio State and, of course, Penn State, where the news of Joe Paterno’s death hit hard Sunday.

COMMENTARY

Requiem for soul of Penn State

It’s been the sad lessons in State College that have resonated deepest with many of these professors. A child sex-abuse scandal and its aftermath have come to define the massive, 157-year-old institution instead of academics setting the agenda. “It’s been a classic example of the tail wagging the dog,� said Nathan Tublitz, a biology professor at Oregon and one of the more vocal voices in COIA. “It’s where

In hopes of remedying that, COIA explored several questions during its three-day meeting, the full answers to which will be hashed out over the next several weeks, with those results being passed along to faculty senates, athletic departments, school presidents and the NCAA.

When time does what it does, and the full measure is taken, Joe Paterno’s legacy will be a fine and remarkable thing. It will be very close to what the great man hoped and dreamed during his decades as a college professor whose discipline happened to be football.

Paterno was a winner, on the field and in almost every area that mattered.

He was not perfect, which was true before the terrible Jerry Sandusky story broke. That dreadful scandal may have robbed Paterno of the appropriate end to his coaching career, and almost certainly sped up the end of his life, but it will not ultimately rob him of his reputation. That was built carefully, brick by brick, over decades of hard work, uncommon decency and unyielding integrity. It is a sound structure that was rocked, but not destroyed, by the hurricane that has blown through State College since November.

Death and mercy came to Joseph Vincent Paterno on Sunday. Surrounded by his beloved wife Sue and their family, the coach was carried off on the phantom shoulders of the hundreds, even thousands, of young men whose lives he enriched over six decades at Penn State.

Death comes to us all. It is mercy when it eases pain too great to bear. For Paterno, the pain of what transpired over the past few months was surely as great as the cancer that officially claimed him. He is free from that pain now.

There was pain over the loss of his job, of course, and over the inability to leave it on his own terms after such a long and stellar career.

But his deepest pain was for the university to which Paterno devoted his life.

To say he was the Nittany Lions football coach would be to say Steve Jobs worked in computers, or that Walt Disney was a cartoonist. The man was larger than the university where he worked, than the sport that he coached.

That was both his greatest achievement and, in the end, part of his downfall. If you appreciated Paterno for assuming his position as a much needed conscience of college sports, and for his singular status as the most important man in Happy Valley, then you had to be disappointed by his failure to meet his own standards when confronted with Sandusky’s heinous alleged behavior.

This is not a contradiction. Indeed, you got the distinct impression that Paterno was disappointed in himself. He said in an early statement that he wished he had “done more.�

This is the third and final time Sandusky’s name will appear in this column.

It is unfortunate that his name is linked with Paterno’s at all. There is no getting around the connection.

For decades, Paterno made time stand still in State College. His team dressed and (sometimes to its disadvantage) played as if the calendar still said 1965.

Paterno conducted himself like a courtly gentleman of some previous era. He wore the same thick glasses, sported the same thick black hair, ran onto the field in the same high-water khakis.

Nothing ever changed. And then everything did. Suddenly, cruelly.

It is possible to believe that Paterno could not continue representing Penn State as its head coach and also believe that he’d done so with great distinction for an incredibly long time.

It is possible to believe he should have done more when confronted with real evil and also believe that he was a good and decent and admirable human being.

Joe Paterno was a force for good for most of a long and wonderful life. When the full measure is taken, that will outweigh the terrible events of these last few months.

Penn State already has hired a new football coach. It will never have another soul. That was Paterno. That is Paterno.

Time will take care of the rest.

Mark Wilson claims dramatic Humana victory LA QUINTA, CALIF. — Mark Wilson made a 10-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the Humana Challenge on Sunday, beating Robert Garrigus, John Mallinger and Johnson Wagner by two strokes in a dramatic dusk finish to the wind-delayed tournament.

Moments after Garrigus barely missed a 35-foot eagle putt that would have given him the lead, Wilson coolly made his birdie try in the disappearing light, Wilson calmly celebrating his fifth career PGA Tour victory. “Robert and I, going back and forth, we really enjoyed that,� Wilson said. “It just came down to 18, and I didn’t want to give him a chance to make that putt to tie me. ... That’s what we play for. You want somebody to win it, not necessarily to lose it.�

Wilson led by three strokes Sunday morning after finishing his third round, which was delayed by ferocious wind Saturday. Wilson quickly gave away the lead on the low-scoring Palmer Private course, but played bogey-free over the final 15 holes while every other competitor dropped back.

Every other competitor dropped back — including Garrigus, who fell out of the lead when he missed a 51⠄2-foot par putt on the 17th. “We really couldn’t see much,� said Garrigus, who finished a third-round 61 earlier Sunday. “I could barely pick up the flag on 18. We had a great day, and it got pretty dark. I wish I could have read that putt a little better.�

States beat Guatemala, 13-0, on Sunday to clinch a berth in the semifinals of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament for the London Olympics.

A left-foot tap in the 12th minute and a header in the 14th gave Wambach 129 career goals for the U.S. team, moving her past Germany’s Birgit Prinz (128) and behind only Mia Hamm (158) and Kristine Lilly (130).

The only active player in Wambach’s range is Canada’s Christine Sinclair with 125 — including five in this tournament.

The 31-year-old striker’s exploits — along with those of newcomer Sydney Leroux — added some meaning to another suspensefree rout for the Americans, who have outscored their opponents 27-0 over two games as they attempt to earn one of two berths available for the Summer Games.

Leroux, earning only her second international cap, scored five goals as Wambach’s halftime substitute — tying the U.S. record for most in a game. The record is shared by Wambach, Brandi Chastain, Michelle Akers, Tiffeny Milbrett and Amy Rodriguez.

Or as KU center Jeff Withey said ... “Coach Keller was a great coach at Kansas. He’s one of my favorite guys to be around. He knows our offense. It’s going to be tough, but I think everybody in the Big 12 knows our offense because we’ve been in it so many years.”

Keller said his knowledge of Self’s system “doesn’t matter. Coach Self has those guys so tough-minded and disciplined ... he makes it work.

He’s really talented at what he does. He’s the best.

“I told our guys that he (Self) is like Bill Belichick (New England Patriots’ coach). He figures out what your weaknesses are and attacks you.

He’s like the Green Bay Packers — like Vince Lombardi.”

How so?

“Lombardi would run ‘Packer sweep left.’ He’d say, ‘We’re gonna line up and come at you, and you’ve got to stop it.’ That’s what coach Self’s teams do. They just grind it out. It doesn’t matter if you know what’s coming, they still score. It hasn’t been fun trying to prepare for them, that’s for sure.”

It has been a trying season so far for the Aggies (11-7, 2-4), who were picked to finish in a tie for first with KU (16-3, 6-0) in the Big 12 preseason coaches poll.

Not only did freshman Jamal Branch transfer to St. John’s, but soph forward Kourtney Roberson has been limited to nine games because of a broken foot.

Also, junior forward Khris Middleton (12.4 ppg, 5.4 rpg) has been battling persistent knee problems. He re-injured his knee in Saturday’s 81-75 home overtime victory over Oklahoma and is questionable for tonight (he did make the trip to Lawrence).

“We’ve had so much adversity from a health standpoint, from players to coach, who has gone through a lot,” Keller said.

First-year coach Billy Kennedy was diagnosed with early stages of Parkinson’s in the preseason.

“It’s not gone the way we’d like it to go, but we have so

said. “We only have one right now (Crist), but there will be others that will be a part of the program. Come signing day, they will not be a part of the mix because they have not graduated from college yet.”

The fifth-year rule is just part of Weis’ strategy for building a roster that can compete right away. With most of the top players in the country already committed, Weis and his staff have traveled from coast to coast during the past several days, mining the talent pool for impact players.

“Obviously, high school kids are always the bread and butter,” Weis said. “But the one problem when you come in late in the recruiting mix is that most high school players are greatly influenced by relationships they have with the coaches that are recruiting them. So when you do not have time to compete with relationships, you have to minimize that inventory and move in another direction to go fill holes.”

That’s why several junior colleges — locally and nationwide — have had KU coaches on campus during the most recent recruiting period.

As of today, KU has secured commitments from five junior-college players.

Before recruiting the Class of 2012 is finished, Weis may have signed twice that many.

“This is a hotbed, rich and fruitful with high-level college football players in the state of Kansas,” Weis said.

“We are tapping into that resource to try to fill some holes with players that are a little more developed and ready to go and that have a couple years under their belt walking in the door.”

KU’s quintet of juniorcollege pledges is: tight end, Charles Brooks, 6-5, 245, Scottsdale (Ariz.) C.C.; running back, Taylor Cox, 5-11, 200, College of the Siskiyous; wide receiver Josh Ford, 6-4, 195, Arizona Western; defen-

— Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis sive lineman, Ty McKinney, 6-3, 310, Trinity Valley (Texas) C.C.; and defensive lineman Keon Stowers, 6-3, 273, Georgia Military College.

Although Weis quickly identified quarterback, where he landed Crist and BYU transfer Jake Heaps (eligible in 2013), and defensive line as areas that needed improvement, he was not shy about his assessment of the roster he inherited.

“Look, we could use help everywhere,” Weis said.

“There isn’t one position on our team that I can sit there and say, ‘Hey, we don’t need help there.’ That’s a fallacy.

So we’re going to spread that 20-some number across our roster and try to get us help at every position.”

Russell wooed by Baylor?

It appears that KU has some competition for Class of 2012 quarterback Seth Russell. And it’s coming from Russell’s home state of Texas.

Russell, a three-star, dualthreat QB from Garland High, committed to the Jayhawks last July. At the time, it was believed that KU would have a tough time hanging on to the 6-4, 195 quarterback, and, in recent weeks, Baylor has begun to target Russell.

A recent report from JayhawkSlant.com indicated Weis visited Russell last week. The KU coach made at least a good enough impression to keep Kansas in the mix. But Russell was expected to visit Baylor last weekend, so this is definitely a situation worth keeping an eye on, especially with KU’s lack of depth at quarterback.

PENN STATE’S SASA BOROVNJAK, CENTER, LOSES THE BALL between Indiana‘s Cody Zeller, left, and Tom Pritchard during the first half on Sunday in Bloomington, Ind.

Indiana rallies to beat emotional Penn State The Associated Press

No. 11 Indiana 73, Penn State 54 BLOOMINGTON, IND. — Cody Zeller scored 18 points, and Indiana rallied for a victory over Penn State on Sunday, hours after the Nittany Lions learned of the death of former football coach Joe Paterno.

The team was told of Paterno’s death on the short bus ride from the hotel to Assembly Hall.

Team officials scrambled to get black strips attached to the players’ blue road jerseys.

Indiana officials held a moment of silence in honor of Paterno, the coach who won an NCAA-record 409 games and was fired in November after child sex-abuse charges were filed against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

For a half, it looked like Penn State (10-11, 2-6 Big Ten) would ride its defense to a third straight victory in Bloomington.

But Indiana (16-4, 4-4) scored the first four points of the second half to take a 31-29 lead and never trailed again in ending a three-game losing streak.

Tim Frazier had 21 points and Nick Colella added 11 for Penn State, which was coming off an upset of No. 22 Illinois but has lost four of five.

Virginia Tech 47, No. 15 Virginia 45 CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. — Erick Green scored 15 points, including the free throws with 1:52 remaining to give Virginia Tech the lead, and Dorenzo Hudson had six points over the final 2:12 as the Hokies ended Virginia’s nine-game home winning streak.

Hudson, who finished with 12 points, hit a baby hook with 1:11 to go to give Virginia Tech a 44-41 lead. After a jumper

by Jontel Evans pulled Virginia within a point, Hudson hit a three-pointer from the left corner with 16.5 seconds left for the Hokies (12-7, 1-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).

Virginia (15-3, 2-2) needed several shots to score at the other end, and when Joe Harris finally banked in a putback, only one second remained. Virginia shot 32.6 percent overall and missed 13 of 14 three-point attempts.

Virginia came in second in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 50.4 points. The Hokies held the Cavaliers to a season-low in points.

Taylor drove into the lane and hit a midrange jumper with 32 seconds left to give the Badgers (16-5, 5-3 Big Ten) a 62-57 lead in what had been a back-and-forth battle.

Wisconsin has won four straight after dropping three consecutive Big Ten games.

The Illini (15-5, 4-3) were led

by Meyers Leonard’s 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Joseph Bertrand added 15 points.

The Illini tied the game at 53-53 with 5:16 to play on a basket by Bertrand, but a jumper by Ben Brust put the Badgers up for good, 55-53, with just over five minutes left.

Illinois’ loss was its second straight since an upset of then-No. 5 Ohio State.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The New York Giants have their own Super Bowl formula: in overtime and on the road.

And with Lawrence Tynes’ foot.

Five plays after the 49ers’ Kyle Williams fumbled a punt, Tynes kicked a gamewinning 31-yard field goal in overtime, sending the Giants to the Super Bowl with a 2017 victory over San Francisco in the NFC championship game on Sunday.

In another tight one in this decades-old postseason rivalry, both defenses made key stops before New York capitalized on a rare mistake in San Francisco’s resurgent season. Williams’ blunder put the Giants in perfect position for another sensational finish in a season full of them.

“That was a tough game.

We had to fight for every yard that we got,” Giants quarterback Eli Manning said. “Defense was outstanding, special teams getting us two turnovers was huge.

That led to 10 points.”

The first three overtime series ended in punts before Williams fumbled. The Giants won it moments later and silenced — for good this time — the towel-waving, poncho-wearing sellout crowd at cold, rainy Candlestick Park.

“It was one of those situations where I tried to turn it upfield and it just didn’t work out,” Williams said.

Manning and the Giants (12-7) will face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis as 3 1/2-point underdogs.

The last time the teams met for the NFL title, 2008, the Giants ended the Patriots’ bid for a perfect season.

Tynes had a hand, er, foot in getting the Giants to that one, too, kicking the gamewinning field goal in overtime at Green Bay. Devin Thomas put the Giants in position by recovering his second fumble of the

“It’s my second NFC championship game, my second game-winner,” Tynes said of his kick 7:54 into overtime. “It’s amazing. I had dreams about this last night.

It was from 42, not 31, but I was so nervous today before the game just anticipating this kind of game. I’m usually pretty cool, but there was something about tonight where I knew I was going to have to make a kick. Hats off to Eli, offense, defense. Great win.”

Manning went 32 of 58 for 316 yards and two touchdowns and overcame six sacks in his record fifth road playoff win, New York’s fifth in a row overall.

Manning threw a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown pass to Mario Manningham with 8:34 remaining after Kyle Williams fumbled for the first time.

The Giants challenged that the ball touched Williams’ right knee and Thomas recovered with 11:06 left and coach Tom Coughlin won, giving the Giants the ball back at the 29.

“That was a tremendous football game for those that really enjoy football at it’s very basic element,” said Coughlin, who matched former Cowboys coach Tom Landry for most road playoff wins with seven. “Just a classic football game that just seemed like no one was going to put themselves into position to win it. Fortunately we were able to do that.”

During this playoff run, he’s already outplayed Aaron Rodgers and the defending champion Packers, and fellow former No. 1 pick Alex Smith.

Victor Cruz set the tone Sunday with eight of his 10 receptions in the first half and finished with 142 yards.

“It’s just been a tremendous effort by all of us, man,” Cruz said. “We understand that any one of us can get hot at any moment. As long as we’re all on the same page and just playing together, man, we’ve got a great group of guys.”

AFC: PATRIOTS 23, RAVENS 20

Brady, New England Super again FOXBOROUGH, MASS. (AP) — Tom Brady got all the help he needed to get the New England Patriots into the Super Bowl.

Thank you, Billy Cundiff.

The Baltimore Ravens kicker shanked a 32-yard field goal with 11 seconds left, and the Patriots escaped with a 23-20 victory in the AFC championship game Sunday.

Usually, vintage Brady doesn’t need much assistance in championship settings, but the Patriots much-maligned defense came through, and Brady’s one-yard touchdown dive with 11:29 left proved to be the winning points.

“Well, I sucked pretty bad today, but our defense saved us,” Brady said after throwing for 239 yards, with two interceptions and, for the first time in 36 games, no TD passes. “I’m going to try to go out and do a better job in a couple of weeks, but I’m proud of this team, my teammates.”

Brady waited out the final tense minutes on the sideline, and then celebrated with the rest of his team when Cundiff’s attempt went wide left.

The Ravens looked on in stunned horror.

Cundiff had no excuse.

“It’s a kick I’ve kicked probably a thousand times in my career,” Cundiff said. “I went out there and didn’t convert.

That’s the way things go.”

Next up as the Patriots chase their fourth Super Bowl trophy in Brady and coach Bill Belichick’s tenure in New England is the New York Giants, who beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in overtime Sunday night.

The Patriots were installed as three-point favorites for the Super Bowl on Feb. 5 in Indianapolis.

In their last trip to the big game, the Patriots had an 18-0 record when they were stunned by the Giants four years ago. They won the NFL championship for the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons. This

Before Cundiff missed, the Ravens had a chance to go ahead two plays earlier, but wide receiver Lee Evans was stripped of the ball in the end zone by backup cornerback Sterling Moore, who earlier was victimized for a touchdown that gave Baltimore (13-5) the lead 17-16.

On his touchdown, Brady took a huge hit from Ravens star linebacker Ray Lewis, then emphatically spiked the ball as he walked away. Earlier, Brady showed his fire by barking at Lewis following a hard tackle on a 4-yard run.

“It’s a pretty mentally tough team,” said Brady, whose fifth trip to the Super Bowl will equal John Elway’s achievement with Denver.

“There’s really some resiliency. We’ve shown that all season. Even in the games we’ve lost, the three games we lost, we fought until the end. We’re always going to fight to the end. It’s great to be a part of a team like this.”

Baltimore had the touted defense in this matchup, but New England’s unit, ranked 31st overall, was just as powerful.

“We stepped up,” Pro Bowl nose tackle Vince Wilfork said. “We all stepped up big time. Being in this situation is a great moment. You have to cherish this moment.”

The Patriots shut down Ray Rice, the league’s total yardage leader, who was limited to 78 yards. Brandon Spikes made a fourth-quarter interception of Joe Flacco, who played well before that and threw for two touchdowns.

And when the Ravens were threatening to score a late touchdown to win their first conference title in 11 years, New England clamped down.

“It’s two great football teams, two gladiators, I guess, just kind of going at each other at the end, and I’m proud of our guys,” Harbaugh said. “You know, we’ve got 53 guys, mighty men, as we like to call them — and they fought, and we came up a little bit short, as 53. You know, 53 win and 53 lose.”

Paterno last of his ilk

Kansas Women

————

Coaches’ tenures don’t last anymore

By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Writer

There will never be another coaching career like Joe Paterno’s.

His time at Penn State started long before coaches were pulling down multimillion dollar salaries, before fire so-and-so.com websites and win-now-or-else attitudes at programs that have rarely contended for championships.

No Division I coach won more games (409) or had a longer run at one school than Paterno.

It’s hard to fathom a coach staying at a power program such as Penn State for even 20 years these days, let alone the 46 seasons Paterno led the Nittany Lions.

Coaches who come to define not just a team but a school, Hall of Famers such as Bear Bryant, Tom Osborne, Bo Schembechler, Bobby Bowden and Paterno, seem to be going the way of the wishbone and tear-away jerseys in college football.

“Look what’s happening,” Bowden told the Associated Press on Sunday, hours after Paterno died at the age of 85. “Coaches getting fired in two years. Coaches making a million dollars here and they get $2 million and they leave.

They break a five-year contract. You’ve got unloyalty at both ends.”

The 82-year-old Bowden was nudged into retirement two years ago after 34 seasons at Florida State. Paterno was fired during a chaotic week in November after his former defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, was charged with sexually abusing children.

He found out about Paterno’s death when he arrived home Sunday morning after coaching a charity game between former Florida State and Miami players. Former Hurricanes coach Howard Schnellenberger, who retired from Florida Atlantic after this past season at the age of 77, was coaching the Miami squad.

Bowden and Paterno became friends over the years partly because, as they grew older, they could relate to each like few other coaches could.

JoePa CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

McQueary said that he had seen Sandusky attacking the child with his hands around the boy’s waist but said he wasn’t 100 percent sure it was intercourse. McQueary described Paterno as shocked and saddened and said the coach told him he had “done the right thing” by reporting the encounter.

Paterno waited a day before alerting school officials and never went to the police.

“I didn’t know which way to go ... and rather than get in there and make a mistake,” Paterno told The Washington Post in an interview nine days before his death.

“You know, (McQueary) didn’t want to get specific,” Paterno said. “And to be frank with you I don’t know that it would have done any good, because I never heard of, of, rape and a man. So I just did what I thought was best. I talked to people that I thought would be, if there was a problem, that would be following up on it.”

When the scandal broke in November, Paterno said he would retire following the 2011 season. He also said he was “absolutely devastated” by the abuse case.

“This is a tragedy,” he said.

“It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.”

But the university trustees fired Paterno, effective immediately. Graham Spanier, one of the longest-serving university presidents in the nation, also was fired.

Paterno was notified by phone, not in person, a decision that board vice chairman John Surma regretted, trustees said. Lanny Davis, the at-

A WOMAN PAYS HER RESPECTS at a statue of Joe Paterno outside Beaver Stadium on the Penn State University campus after learning of his death Sunday in State College, Pa. “We’d sit and talk and discuss a lot of NCAA questions,” Bowden said. “Those were great memories. My wife Ann and Sue (Paterno’s wife) got along real good together too.”

Bowden said he’d written a letter to Paterno “not too long ago,” but hadn’t spoken with him for some time.

“Bobby always thought so much of Joe,” Ann Bowden said. “He was just a unique character. Joe was very strong and outspoken. He and Bobby were different in a lot of respects. He’d been there a longer time and he was stronger, more forceful, said what he thought.

Bobby guards himself a little bit when he says something.”

With Schnellenberger’s retirement, Kansas State’s 72-year-old Bill Snyder is the oldest active coach in majorcollege football.

Snyder has spent 21 seasons with the Wildcats, but even that was interrupted by a three-year retirement when he hit a rough patch.

After Paterno was fired, Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer became the longest-tenured coach working in the highest level of Division I football.

“College football will miss Joe Paterno,” said Beamer, who is 65 and has been leading the Hokies since 1987.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Joe Paterno would no doubt have made a dramatic courtroom witness. But legal experts said his death will have little or no effect on the criminal or civil cases to come out of the Penn State child sex-abuse scandal.

“Obviously, you’re taking away a great deal of the highprofile nature of this case, because it deals with Joe Paterno’s football program,” said Jeffrey Lindy, a criminal defense lawyer involved in a clergy-abuse case in Philatorney retained by trustees as an adviser, said Surma intended to extend his regrets over the phone before Paterno hung up him.

After weeks of escalating criticism by some former players and alumni about a lack of transparency, trustees last week said they fired Paterno in part because he failed a moral obligation to do more in reporting the 2002 allegation.

An attorney for Paterno on Thursday called the board’s comments self-serving and unsupported by the facts. Paterno fully reported what he knew to the people responsible for campus investigations, lawyer Wick Sollers said.

“He did what he thought was right with the information he had at the time,” Sollers said.

The lung cancer was found during a follow-up visit for a bronchial illness. A few weeks later, Paterno broke his pelvis after a fall but did not need surgery.

The hospital said Paterno was surrounded by family members, who have requested privacy.

Paterno had been in the hospital since Jan. 13 for ob-

The next-longest continuous tenure among current coaches belongs to 60-yearold Mack Brown, who has been at Texas since 1998.

“I think that the changes in communications and media (changes that of course accelerated Joe’s termination once the grand jury indictments were issued) create a level of scrutiny and pressure that will make 10 years at the same FBS school rare,” Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick said in an email.

Some of Notre Dame’s greatest coaches (Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian and Lou Holtz) only lasted around a decade, but lately the storied program has been emblematic of the revolving door many schools have on the football coach’s office.

Brian Kelly is Notre Dame’s fourth head coach since 1997; its fifth if you count the days-long tenure of George O’Leary.

As for Kelly, Notre Dame is his third job since 2004, though he was climbing the ladder from Central Michigan to Cincinnati to one of the most celebrated football schools in the country.

“I think the cycles for head coaches will be shorter, much as we’ve seen in pro sports,” Champions Tour West Virginia Athletic Direc- Sunday At Hualalai Golf Course tor Oliver Luck said.

Experts: Death won’t impact court cases delphia. “But with regard to the legal impact of his death, there is none.”

Paterno died Sunday at 85, two months after former coaching assistant Jerry Sandusky was charged with molesting boys and two university officials were accused of perjury and failing to report child sex-abuse allegations against Sandusky to police.

The criminal case against the two university officials may even become more streamlined without Paterno in the mix.

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER By Kathy George

Please know that sometimes a drunk will die no matter what is done to help them.

It’s a devastating disease. But you can kill your loved ones with too much kindness. — One Who Knows

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Gross-out factor diminishes host “Bizarre Foods America” (9 p.m., Travel) returns for a season of domestic consumption. Culinary adventurer Andrew Zimmern explores the 50 states to sample unusual entrees like smoked raccoon and guinea pig.

Describing food or, more to the point, putting the eating experience into words, is a difficult task requiring real talent. And few do it as well as Andrew Zimmern. Anthony Bourdain’s “The Layover” and “No Reservations” are long on post-punk attitude and cultural observation. Far too often Tony can be at a loss for words while tucking into a meal. He resorts to such phrases as “that’s incredible” when far more nuanced evocations are required. In contrast, Zimmern has a refined palate, a quick tongue and a mad scientist’s ability to break a meal down to its chemical components as he’s tasting, swallowing and describing it.

He’s often a wonder to behold.

That’s why I find his devotion to the back alleys of extreme eating so frequently disappointing. It’s one thing to occasionally push viewers past their comfort zone; it’s quite another to forever dwell on revolting, shock-value cuisine. Call me a snob, but the continual focus on gross-out gourmet is trite and adolescent. Zimmern is far smarter and more interesting than “Bizarre.” It’s like watching a trained ballet dancer reduced to “Jackass” stunts.

“American Masters” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune,” a profile of the prolific folk singer whose commitment to political activism and social change gave way to alcoholism and mental illness as the contentious 1960s ended and the more “mellow” 1970s unfolded. Ochs took his own life in 1976. “Fortune” was released theatrically last winter.

Like far too many documentaries about the 1960s, the tone here ranges from somber to reverent. We’re frequently told that Ochs had a sense of whimsy and the absurd, but there’s little humor on display here.

Too little effort is made to discuss Ochs’ influences on contemporary music. The band They Might Be Giants has covered Ochs’ material and occasionally sounds like him.

Is the band interviewed here? No. That might be too entertaining and run against the grain of this earnest profile.

This PBS program does not enjoy universal carriage, so if it doesn’t air tonight, it may appear later this week.

Tonight’s other highlights

A medical test goes horribly wrong on “House” (7 p.m., Fox).

A child killer returns five decades later on “Alcatraz” (8 p.m., Fox). This drama’s premiere last Monday attracted more initial viewers than the premiere episode of the more heavily hyped “Terra Nova.”

An ex-Marine gets a note from the city on “Hoarders” (8 p.m., A&E).

A contempt-of-court citation puts an attorney behind bars on “First Week In” (8 p.m., Discovery).

A woodland fae says “boo” to Bo on “Lost Girl” (9 p.m., Syfy).

Anthony Bourdain crams in some quality time eating his way through Los Angeles on “The Layover” (8 p.m., Travel).

The governor makes a new appointment on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS).

A reality television star falls under suspicion after the death of a dog trainer on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, Jan. 23, 2012: You demonstrate immense creativity and dynamic thinking this year.

Others count on you to have an answer. Confusion earmarks many discussions, resulting in sarcasm.

If you are single, your magnetism attracts many potential suitors. If you are attached, you will need to find a viable way of letting others know how you feel. AQUARIUS cannot be roped in.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You have too much on your plate. Oddly enough, in the process of trying to eliminate some excess, you add more work.

Tonight: Out of sorts.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) All the possibilities that surround a project might overwhelm you. A new beginning becomes possible professionally, if you worry a little less. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Reach out for someone at a distance.

Your ability to zero in on

an issue might not be as sharp as you would like.

Tonight: Think through a situation by detaching.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You could become increasingly aggravated with someone you relate to on a daily basis.

Try not to trigger. Tonight: Make a decision honoring your waistline.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Use caution with finances in the next few months. You easily could make an error.

Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) You could be unusually irritable and cause yourself some problems in the near future. You will have a tendency to overthink after the fact, replaying the situation in your mind. Tonight: All smiles.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be out of sorts and somewhat more direct than usual.

Dear Annie: My pregnant granddaughter smokes. She has switched to electronic cigarettes, telling her husband that these are completely safe and will not affect the baby in any way. She also claims there is no danger of secondhand smoke.

I say if you are sucking into your lungs any vapor with nicotine, it will affect the unborn child. And when you exhale, there has to be some nicotine when it comes out. My husband and I don’t smoke at all. So please tell me: Should my granddaughter smoke her electronic cigarettes inside the house or out? —Kansas Dear Kansas: Electronic cigarettes are cigaretteshaped, battery-operated vaporizers that deliver nicotine through flavored liquids.

They have not yet undergone any rigorous study, so the effects regarding secondhand smoke are still unknown.

They are not regulated, and there are no industry standards, which means you can’t be sure what you are inhaling, but it generally includes nicotine and propylene glycol.

Please urge your daughter to treat electronic cigarettes as she would any other type when it comes to smoking while pregnant. She is still risking the health of her child.
