Wintry wallop: foot of snow, bitter cold By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld

A snow storm that’s barreling through the Midwest has public safety officials advising residents to be prepared to stay at home for a few days. The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for Douglas County, with heavy snowfall this morning through late tonight with total snow accumulation of 10 to 13 inches. Having enough bottled water, nonperishable food and medication to last at least three days are among the steps Kansas Adjutant General Lee Tafanelli recommends. And here are some other ideas to help you survive:

KU outreach director collects top award, meets President Obama By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

After working for years as a psychology professor, Marigold Linton said she wanted to move into a field where she could reach more people. So she became interested in helping to pave the way for American Indians and other minorities to enter careers in the sciences. She was recognized for her efforts last week with a presidential award for mentoring. Linton, who works today as the director of American Indian outreach at Kansas University, said she was both embarrassed and honored to receive the National Science Foundation’s Presidential Award for Excellence in

Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring. And, yes, that meant she got to meet President Barack Obama. She was pleased to be placed in the front Linton row of the picture of the award winners and was tickled to have the president put his arm around her for the group photo (everyone took individual photos with the president, too). She’s waiting for the photos to arrive. Linton quizzed the president on the Please see KU, page 2A

Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Emergency Room staff was busy Monday treating people who fell on icy sidewalks and parking lots. Belinda Rehmer, an LMH spokeswoman, said 20 people had come to the ER by the afternoon after freezing drizzle made surfaces slippery starting in the morning. Rehmer said all of the patients were treated and released, but most will likely have follow-up visits with orthopedic doctors. Hospital staffers were encouraging people to be careful, especially when getting out of their vehicles.

Kobach claims fraud bigger issue than thought; critics suggest otherwise By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach told legislators Monday that election fraud is far more widespread in the state than previously thought, but a critic of his bill on the subject sharpened her attacks over what she sees as its potential to suppress turnout among minorities. Kobach released a report that his office has received 59 reports of alleged irregularities involving at least 221 ballots since 1997 — twice as many as documented by an internal report three years ago. And he suggested those reports represent perhaps

only 10 percent of what’s actually occurred. “It must be made clear that this report significantly understates the incidence of election fraud Kobach in Kansas,” the Republican Kobach told the House Elections Committee during its first hearing on his bill. The measure would require voters to show photo identification at the polls, and people who register to vote for the first time in Kansas would have to provide proof of their citizenship. The

Today’s forecast, page 10A

TOPEKA — Amid mounting opposition, Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee on Monday retreated from a proposal that could have cut state workers’ pay by 7.5 percent. “The political pressure built up,” said Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka. “They didn’t really have any choice” but to back off, he said. Last week, Rep. Pete DeGraaf, R-Mulvane, pushed through an amendment to the budget bill that could have cut state salaries and wages by 7.5 percent for the last six pay periods of the year. DeGraaf said not everyone would have gotten a 7.5 percent cut because state agencies would have had flexibility in how they reached the required savings. Under his original proposal, money from the cuts at regents DeGraaf universities, such as Kansas University, would have been allocated to repair buildings on campuses. The Kansas Organization of State Employees and numerous legislators, however, criticized the cut, saying it was unfair to employees and would disrupt essential state services, such as snow removal. On Monday, DeGraaf altered his proposal and it was approved by the committee. Under the new plan, state officers, such as elected officials and regents chiefs, and employees making more than $100,000 will see a 7.5 percent salary cut. So, instead of saving $16 million, the new plan will save less than $1 million. The full budget bill, which includes a proposal by Gov. Sam Brownback to cut base state aid to schools, will go to the full House for consideration on Wednesday. Under Brownback’s plan, base state aid will fall from $4,012 per student to $3,937 per student, a reduction of $75 per student. DeGraaf said he didn’t change his proposal because of political pressure. He said he reconsidered the amendment and was concerned about the possible disruption of state services. He added he didn’t want to hurt lower wage earners, but he mentioned again that many employees in the private sector have had pay cuts during the past couple of years. He also said he would consider a state employee pay cut for the next fiscal year’s budget, which legislators will start working on once the current one is balanced. In the next fiscal year, which starts July 1, the state is facing an estimated $550 million revenue shortfall. “We’re going to have to make some structural changes,” DeGraaf said.

James K. Hitt February 14, 1914 - January 14, 2011 A memorial service for James Kohland Hitt, 96, Lawrence, will be held Saturday, February 5, 2011, at 3 p.m. at the Lawrence Presbyterian Manor chapel at 1429 Kasold Drive. Mr. Hitt passed away Friday, January 14, 2011 at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor. He was born February 14, 1914 in Everest, Kansas to James Boyd Hitt and Meta Kohl Hitt. He grew up in Hamlin, a small town in northeastern Kansas, with his younger brother George, and graduated from Hamlin High School in 1930 at the age of 16. He was one of the first Summerfield Scholars at the University of Kansas (Lawrence), where he earned his B.A. in 1934 and his M.A. in 1936, both in mathematics. While at K.U., he joined Kappa Sigma fraternity, played piano in a small band that played for dances around town and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1936 he married his childhood sweetheart, Bernadine Berkley, who also graduated from K.U. that year. They spent 62 rewarding years together until her passing in 1998. They raised two children, Alan of Stockton, California, and Nancy (Mrs. David Clark) of Shawnee, Kansas. Mr. Hitt taught math at Dodge City Junior College and Wichita University before becoming Assistant Registrar at K.U. in 1940. He served in World War II in the Coast Artillery and returned to K.U. in 1946 as Registrar. He spent the rest of his professional life at the university, mostly as Registrar and Director of Admissions. The diplomas of generations of KU graduates bear his autograph. Well-regarded in his field, he served as president of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers in 1964-65. Mr. Hitt felt a deep attachment to the universi-

ty throughout his adult life. He chaired the Summerfield Scholarship Committee Hitt for many years and served on several other campus-wide committees. He also closely followed the Jayhawks’ athletic teams and accompanied, as faculty representative, the Wilt Chamberlain-led basketball team to the NCAA regional tournament in Dallas in 1957. He retired from K.U. as Registrar Emeritus on January 1, 1977. In retirement he stayed busy. For many years he volunteered for AudioReader. Growing out of his experience caring for his beloved Bernadine, who lived with Alzheimer’s disease for many years, he cofounded the Caregiver Support Group for Douglas County Senior Services. He lived the last 23 years of his life at the Lawrence Presbyterian Manor and served as the first president of the manor’s Resident Council. He is survived by his brother George, Evanston, Illinois; his children Nancy and Alan; his California grandsons Jason and Brian Hitt; his granddaughter Lynn Laakso of Marquette, Michigan, two great-granddaughters, a niece and two nephews. For those who wish to honor him, the family suggests contributions to the Good Samaritan Fund at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor, Douglas County Senior Services Caregiver Support Group, Lawrence Habitat for Humanity or the Lawrence Health Care Access Clinic, sent in care of Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, 601 Indiana Street, Lawrence, Kansas 66044.

water is just as important in winter as it is in summer, Marcellino said. Ens recommends drinking hot tea or cocoa to stay warm. But avoid alcohol or caffeinated drinks. ● Check on elderly neighbors to make sure they’re warm enough and have plenty of food, water and medicine. If you can, shovel their sidewalk. ● Once temperatures get below 20 degrees, pet owners should think about bringing outdoor cats and dogs inside, said Midge Grinstead, Lawrence Humane Society director. Keep pets in garages, barns and sheds and have warm blankets and straw available. Make sure the animal’s water doesn’t freeze and your pet doesn’t lick or eat the snow.

Power outages ● Have emergency telephone numbers on hand, flashlights with fresh batteries, a battery-powered radio and clock, bottled water, firstaid kit and medications, nonelectric can opener and tool kit. And know how to open your garage door manually. ● If the power does go out, don’t assume Westar knows. Call 1-800-544-4857. If you spot a downed power line, treat it as a live line and call 911 to report it. ● Unless necessary, don’t open your refrigerator door.

Next time Superintendent Rick Doll cancels classes, his bosses on the Lawrence school board will be responsible for readjusting schedules for the district’s 11,000 students. Any future snow days would need to be made up by the end of the academic year, likely by adding a few minutes to the end of each school day, said Julie Boyle, the Lawrence school district’s communications director. Making that decision would be the school board, which is responsible for seeing that students get their state-mandated 1,116 hours of instructional time before summer vacation begins. All of the district’s snow days so far — Jan. 10, 11, 20 and today — either have makeup days built into the schedule or do not need to be made up. According to the Centers for Disease Control, if the power is out for less than two hours, food in the refrigerator and freezer will be safe to eat. ● For longer periods, a freezer that is half full can hold food safely for up to 24 hours and a full freezer can hold food safely for up to 48 hours. For refrigerated food, pack food into a cooler (an inexpensive Styrofoam cooler will work) surrounded by ice. Use a food thermometer to check the temperature of the food right before you cook or

eat it. Food should be no warmer than 40 degrees. ● Have a safe alternative heart source. If that happens to be a gasoline generator, make sure the generator has plenty of fuel. ● To keep heat in the central part of the house, close doors, use towels or rags as doorstops and close drapes and curtains. ● Don’t use propane or charcoal grills indoors. Never use a portable generator inside the house or garage. ● Run a small stream of water from your faucets to prevent pipes from freezing.

Driving The Lawrence Police Department asks you to stay home if you don’t have to be on the road. ● Before you travel, make sure you have a full tank of gasoline, emergency kit and a fully charged cell phone. Among other items for an emergency kit: blankets, nonperishable food, first-aid kit, flashlight, candles, matches or light, and shovel. ● Avoid parking on the street. City crews will leave behind massive windrows as they plow, so cars could easily be under a couple feet of snow by the end of the storm. ● Lawrence snow plow crews expect to spend much of today and Wednesday plowing the city’s major streets. Residential neighborhoods won’t be reached until

art in the Oval Office — he didn’t know the artist of a painting of George Washington hanging in his office, she recalled. And she drew a laugh from the president and fellow awardees when she made a comment after a remark about how many find the office to be smaller than they anticipated. “The Oval Office may be small,” she told Obama, “But you, sir, are larger than life.” The recognition came for an educator and researcher who started out from humble beginnings, and has gone on to make a difference in the lives of many minority students today. James Orr, a KU molecular biology professor and director of KU’s Office for Diversity in Science Training, praised Linton’s work at KU, which began in 1998, and said that she has helped invigorate a program that serves about 60 students each year. Her work gives KU and Haskell Indian Nations University students access to faculty members’ labs that they likely wouldn’t see otherwise. “She has a personal understanding of the challenges and the barriers that students from the American Indian culture face when they try to move forward in their education,” Orr said. A member of the CahuillaCupeño tribe, Linton grew up on the Morongo Reservation in California, and she said she knows that the quality of education on many reservations makes it difficult for many Native Americans to move up. Linton said she was the first woman to become a full professor at the University of Utah when she attained that position in 1973 and became known for her research on long-term memory. Since then, she has gone on to form programs, not just at KU, but also some affiliated with the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science, an organization of which Linton is a past president. One such program provides leadership training for minority students to prepare them to become deans, provosts and university presidents. There are few American Indians in those kinds of positions today, she said. One KU student and two from Haskell have participated in that program, she said. “I could have done all of those things if I had any kind of background at all. Any kind of background at all,” she said. “But I didn’t.”

Wednesday night and Thursday morning, city spokeswoman Megan Gilliland said. If you have to be on the road, Gilliland advises looking at the city’s snowplow plan (www.lawrenceks.org /publicworks/docs/SnowPlow_ web.pdf) to map out a route to lead you to a street that’s been plowed. ● If you get into an accident, you are legally required to exchange this information with other drivers involved: your name, address, vehicle registration, driver’s license number, insurance company’s name and insurance policy number.

Not-so-nice ice foreshadows ominous storm 1 | CAIRO

Army backs off force against protesters Egypt’s military pledged not to fire on protesters in a sign that army support for President Hosni Mubarak may be unraveling on the eve of a major escalation — a push for a million people to take to the streets today to demand the authoritarian leader’s ouster. More than 10,000 people beat drums, played music and chanted slogans in Tahrir Square, which has become the epicenter of a week of protests demanding an end to Mubarak’s three decades in power. With the organizers’ calling for a “march of a million people,” the vibe in the sprawling plaza — whose name in Arabic means “Liberation” — was of an intensifying feeling that the uprising was nearing a decisive point. “He only needs a push!” was one of the most frequent chants, and a leaflet circulated by some protesters said it was time for the military to choose between Mubarak and the people. The latest gesture by Mubarak aimed at defusing the crisis fell flat. His top ally, the United States, roundly rejected his announcement of a new government Monday that dropped his highly unpopular interior minister, who heads police forces and has been widely denounced by the protesters. 2 | FLORIDA

code requiring the store to be set back 25 feet from both Massachusetts and New Hampshire streets. Instead, the store wants the setback reduced to zero, meaning it could go right up to the sidewalks much as downtown stores do today. Neighbors haven’t objected much to the two specific variances, but rather have expressed concerns that the layout of the store will increase traffic in largely residential areas. The company proposed a drivethrough pharmacy lane off New Hampshire Street, and also proposed that a two-way drive leading to the main parking lot be located on New Hampshire street.

One or two elementary schools would close next year, and another four would be consolidated into two new or expanded schools by 2016, under the latest vision from members of a task force studying the future of Lawrence’s elementary schools. Nineteen members of the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task SCHOOLS Force spent more than three hours Monday night condensing their consensus on potential recommendations for closing, renovating, expanding and building elementary schools. They settled on two scenarios to study further before making recommendations to the Lawrence school board by the end of February: ● Close either one or two of three schools next year: Cordley, Pinckney or Wakarusa Valley. ● Within three to five years, consolidate New York and Kennedy into a single school, either at one of the school sites or at a different one, such as land that is home to the former East Heights School, and consolidate Hillcrest and Sunset Hill schools, likely into a new or expanded building at one of the two existing sites. All of the possibilities would mean changes to enrollments, boundaries and other matters, and that’s why district officials will be crunching numbers up

Judge: Health overhaul unconstitutional A federal judge in Florida ruled Monday that President Barack Obama’s entire health care overhaul law is unconstitutional, placing even noncontroversial provisions under a cloud in a broad challenge that seems certain to be resolved only by the Supreme Court. Faced with a major legal setback, the White House called the ruling by U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson — in a challenge to the law by 26 of the nation’s 50 states — “a plain case of judicial overreaching.” That echoed language the judge had used to describe the law as an example of Congress overstepping its authority. The Florida judge’s ruling produced an even split in federal court decisions so far on the health care law, mirroring enduring divisions among the public. Two judges had previously upheld the law, both Democratic appointees. A Republican appointee in Virginia had ruled against it. The Justice Department quickly announced it would appeal, and administration officials declared that for now the federal government and the states would proceed without interruption to carry out the law.

Board of Zoning Appeals to hear issues on rebuilding By Chad Lawhorn

American woman summoned for trial Iran has summoned an American woman to return to the country and stand trial on Feb. 6 along with two other Americans still in custody and accused of spying after crossing the border from Iraq, a judiciary spokesman said Monday. Their families say the Americans were just intrepid travelers out on a hike in northern Iraq’s scenic — and relatively peaceful — Kurdish region when they were arrested on July 31, 2009. The only woman among them, Sarah Shourd, was released on bail in September and returned to the United States. The U.S. government has denied the charges against them and demanded their release. Their lengthy detention has added to tensions between the two nations over issues like Iran’s disputed nuclear program. After her release, Shourd said in an interview with the New York Times that the three inadvertently crossed the unmarked border because a guard of unknown nationality gestured for them to approach.

New hires to allow more Health Care Access patients

By Jane E. Stevens jstevens@ljworld.com

Health Care Access can now see another 1,000 patients a year, thanks to $300,000 in donations and grants. The funds support a patient-care team of three new staff members for three years. Health Care Access provides free and low-cost health care for many of the 14,000 people in Douglas County who don’t have health insurance. In 2010, the clinic saw 1,182 patients. Until Monday, the clinic comprised a staff of eight and a group of volunteer physicians. Nikki King, executive director, anticipates that the addition of the new staff will cut the wait time for patients from 12 weeks

to six weeks, and it will increase the number of urgent care appointments. With the addition of nurse practitioner Patricia Neis, support nurse Brenda Waite, and Marie Daniels, at the front desk, the clinic also is expanding its hours to include two evenings a week. Starting this week, Health Care Access is open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. “We’re thrilled to be able to provide this for the community, knowing that the demand has outpaced supply for a long

time,” said King. “This is a big step in meeting our goals to help more people.” The nonprof it raised $300,000 to fund the new staff for three years. One-third of the money came from private donors, and two-thirds from grants. A lead gift of $9,000 that kicked off the campaign came from Cosmopolitan International, with the support of their its clubs, River City and Breakfast Cosmopolitan Clubs. The Sunflower Foundation was the largest donor, providing $200,000. Not only will the clinic be able to see about another 1,000 people, “we hope to see a direct impact at the Lawrence Memorial Hospital emergency room as

well,” said King. “We know a lot of our patients are resorting to the ER if they can’t get in quickly.” With 14,000 uninsured people in the region, “we could easily keep another set (nurse practitioner, nurse and receptionist) busy,” said King. A typical nurse practitioner sees 1,200 patients a year, two or three times each. “With health reform around the corner, nobody really knows what that’s going to do to our numbers,” she said. “At the current outlook, it will be business as usual for quite some time.” — Jane E.

Monday’s markets

A vehicle taking a 4-monthold Lawrence baby to an Overland Park Hospital Monday morning was involved in an accident on icy Kansas Highway 10 near the Johnson CountyDouglas County line. The baby, who had a hospital visit scheduled, was not injured

in the accident but was taken to the hospital by ambulance as a precaution, said Mark Billquist, an operations chief for the Northwest Consolidated Fire District in Johnson County. According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the driver of a westbound 2001 Ford Explorer lost control on a bridge 3 miles east of Eudora, and the vehicle struck the rear driver’s side of an eastbound 2004 Ford F-150 truck, driven by Sophia L. Jones, 28, of Lawrence. The crash happened at 8:30 a.m. The report said 4-month-old Everett Atwell was taken to Children’s Mercy South Hospital in Overland Park by ambulance. No one else was taken to the hospital. Troopers shut down traffic in the area briefly so a road crew could treat K-10 near the county line.

Kobach tells House committee voter fraud is bigger issue than thought CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

millions of ballots have been cast since 1997. She suggested his bill would hinder voter registration drives and, after the meeting, said it would suppress many more legitimate votes than fraudulent ones. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s state chapter has criticized the measure, and Mah said it could hurt minority turnout, in particular. Mah, who is white, noted that all of the witnesses testifying for the bill Monday were white and said it has strong support among “nice, middleclass white folks” who don’t worry about suppressing turnout. “Where are the people of color who support this bill?” she said after the hearing. “To those folks who know their votes are going to get thrown out, it’s a big deal.” Kobach has repeatedly said his bill won’t suppress turnout and called Mah’s comments “outrageous.” “Since when do Kansas legislators look at the skin color of people testifying?” he said. Kobach, a Kansas City-area law professor on leave, already is a national figure for advising city officials and legislators in other states wanting to crack down on illegal immigration. He helped draft a law enacted in Arizona last year, empowering police to

Kobach has said he wants to give Kansas the toughest laws against election fraud in the nation. Eight states require a photo ID at the polls, and Oklahoma will begin doing so come July 1, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. question anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally. He’s said he wants to give Kansas the toughest laws against election fraud in the nation. Eight states require a photo ID at the polls, and Oklahoma will begin doing so come July 1, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Kobach made combatting election fraud the key issue in his successful campaign for secretary of state last year, but he faces skepticism that it represents a widespread problem. His latest report was designed to dispel doubts. The report includes instances in which six noncitizens cast ballots in 2008 or 2009, and Kobach noted that in 2009, the secretary of state’s office discovered that 54 non-citizens were registered to vote. Seward County reported a case of a non-citizen being registered this year,

and canceled the registration. “Although most of these individuals may never vote, the fraud already has occurred,” Seward County Clerk Stacia Long, a Republican, testified. But Mah said even if Kobach is right and roughly 2,200 ballots cast in Kansas since 1997 were fraudulent, the figure still pales in comparison to the number of votes that won’t be cast or counted if, as she contends, his bill suppresses turnout. She noted that a 1 percent drop in turnout represents more than 8,000 votes in a general election in a nonpresidential year. “You tell me, which is worse?” she said. “The numbers just don’t even line up.” Mah also said the requirement that people show proof of citizenship when registering for the first time would hinder the efforts of groups that set up registration tables at libraries, grocery stores and other locations, or candidates who register people as they campaign door-to-door. Kobach acknowledged there will be some changes in how voter registration drives are conducted but doesn’t see the proof-of-citizenship requirement as burdensome. He noted that the bill provides for free non-driver’s ID cards and birth certif icates for Kansans who are receiving social services or have low household incomes.

Task force discusses closing, consolidating schools CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

until the task force’s next meeting: 5:30 p.m. Feb. 14 at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive. “It’s going to be painful,” said Brad Finkeldei, a task force member who helped craft the scenarios. “The question is, will it be too painful?” Much of the Monday’s discussions focused on the consolidation possibilities, as members emphasized the importance of investing in schools in eastern Lawrence while acknowledging educational, social and political realities. “Significant reinvestment on the east side needs to be part of that plan,” said Erika Dvorske, a member of the task force. Rich Minder, school board president and co-chairman of the task force, said he could foresee a new school being built at the East Heights site, with New York then converted into a new “dual language” school that would provide an option for expanding English as a Second Language education. Such consolidation plans — including the one for Hillcrest and Sunset Hill — would require the district

borrowing money through community passage of a bond issue, one that likely would include upgrades for elementary schools throughout the district. “That requires a big commitment on the part of the whole community,” Minder said, “and I think we’re up for it.” The task force’s goal remains to align elementary schools with the community’s vision for education, and all within financial realities. With that in mind, task force members agreed to seek more information about the potential for closing either one or two schools next year. They agreed to seek information regarding expected cost savings, enrollment shifts and other issues regarding three candidates for closure: ● Cordley, 1837 Vt., which a task force report describes as having “signif icant ADA access challenges” and the potential for disruptive renovations, depending on how work could be staged. ● Pinckney, 810 W. Sixth St., has a relatively large number of small classrooms and is located on the smallest site in the district, both “creating special challenges to increas-

ing enrollment and expanding classroom square footage,” according to the report. ● Wakarusa Valley, 1104 E. 1100 Road, just southeast of Clinton Lake, has the fewest students in the district — district officials forecast that the school would have 155 students for next year, with capacity for another 164 more. Displaced students could face increased transportation time to other schools, according to the report. — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Bob Gent, who lives a block east of the store, said residents are concerned about more store traff ic going through the neighborhood on New Hampshire and 18th streets. “The two-way drive is a big issue,” Gent said. City Planning Director Scott McCullough said Dillons officials and some members of the neighborhood met recently to discuss issues including the building’s northern orientation, setback, vehicle and delivery truck access. But he said there was “no final resolution on what Dillons might revise to address the neighborhood’s concerns.” Sheila Lowrie, a spokeswoman for Dillons, said the company was currently eval-

uating the comments received from those neighbors and valued their feedback. But Lowrie declined to comment on whether the project would remain feasible if the city’s zoning board does not agree to the necessary variances. The city’s zoning board acts as a quasi-judicial board. Generally, if the variance is not granted, Dillons could not appeal the decision to the City Commission, but rather would have to file an appeal in Douglas County District Court. The city’s Board of Zoning Appeals is scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at City Hall. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw.

Proposed sales tax repeal draws debate By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — The Kansas Chamber, which fought the state sales tax increase during the last legislative session, urged legislators on Monday to keep the increase in place and use the revenue to offset elimination of the state corporate income tax. “That is the formula other states of like size to Kansas have used to grow their economies while at the same time maintaining and improving existing government services and infrastructure,” said Kent Eckles, a spokesman for the Chamber. Eckles spoke during the

House Tax Committee hearing on a bill that would repeal the 1-cent state sales tax increase that was approved during the last session and took effect July 1. The law increased the state sales tax from 5.3 cents per dollar to 6.3 cents per dollar. It will drop to 5.7 cents per dollar in 2013. Conservatives, who added to their number in the November election, have made repeal of the levy one of their priorities. During the last session, a slim majority of Democrats and moderate Republicans approved the tax increase above the protests of the Kansas Chamber, the largest business lobbying group in

the state. During the November election, the Chamber helped fund candidates who defeated legislators who had voted for the increase. But on Monday, the Chamber switched gears, saying the revenues from the increase should be used to eliminate the corporate income tax. Several conservatives seemed surprised by the Kansas Chamber’s position on the bill. No action was taken on the bill, but Tax Chair Richard Carlson, R-St. Marys, said he would probably work on the bill later this session. The Kansas chapter of Americans for Prosperity called for the repeal of the

increased state sales tax, saying the tax rate was hurting Kansas’ economic recovery. But a coalition of education groups argued against repeal, saying the loss of revenue — about $390 million per year — would cripple state services and throw the state’s budget into a deeper hole. Highway interests and several local chambers of commerce also urged the Legislature to leave the sales tax intact. Part of the revenue goes to road projects. Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, also has said he opposes repeal. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Neighborhood annexation on city agenda By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence City Hall staff members want to talk about annexing a rural neighborhood that isn’t so rural anymore. At the city commission meeting this evening, city staff members will ask for permission to discuss possible annexation with the approximately 50 homeowners who live in the Miller/Wells Acres area north of Lawrence. The area is just north of Riverridge Road and east of North Iowa Street. The neighborhood once was a typical rural subdivision, but the city limits have all but surrounded the area as development along North Michigan and North Iowa streets has continued. That’s created questions about

whether residents of the area have been getting access to city services without paying for them. “We think there is perhaps a tax equity issue to address,” City Manager David Corliss said. “They are benefiting from quite a few city services.” Residents of the neighborhood already have city water service, although they pay higher rates than city residents. At least two of the homes also have been allowed to connect on to city sewer service. Taxes for residents in the neighborhood would go up, based on current tax rates. Essentially, the main change in tax bills would be that residents no longer would pay taxes to the Wakarusa Township, but would start paying to the city of Lawrence. Lawrence’s mill levy is about

10 mills higher than Wakarusa’s. The city estimates that a property owner of a $150,000 home would experience an annual increase of $150.79 in property taxes, or about $12.50 a month. Residents also would start paying the city’s stormwater fee, which likely would be about $4 per month for most homes. But some costs could go d ow n , i n c l u d i n g t h e amount residents pay for water service, trash service, and perhaps home insurance because the city’s fire ra t i n g i s l owe r t h a n Wakarusa Township’s fire rating. It isn’t entirely clear whether the annexation would provide much of a financial benefit to city coffers. Based on current tax rates, the annexation would add about $24,000 a year to

EDITORIALS

Billing bunk The whole system of late fees on Lawrence utility bills demands a full review.

eads should be rolling in the city’s utility billing department following Sunday’s Journal-World story about problems with late charges and how they are hidden on city water bills. The situation came to light when a Lawrence resident got curious about a charge listed on her bill as an “adjustment.” It was a small charge, only about a dollar a month, but she wanted to know what it was for. Come to find out, the “adjustment” actually was a late fee — a late fee that was charged to the customer despite the fact that both she and her bank say the electronic payment was sent in time to avoid such a fee. The first problem here is related to transparency. When asked about the “adjustment,” City Finance Director Ed Mullins was unconcerned. Maybe that isn’t the best word to use, he said, but “I think it is pretty clear to most people that it is a late fee.” Wrong. A late fee, usually, is called a “late fee.” Many utility bills include various adjustments and fees that are tacked on for legitimate reasons, but a late payment fee should be — and usually is — clearly identified. There is no reason for someone who thinks they paid their bill on time to assume that the “adjustment” on their next bill is related to a late payment. City officials say they can’t change the wording without reprogramming their billing system and they can’t reprogram that system because they don’t own it. This situation has existed for some time, they think it will be most of a year before there is any chance of it being corrected. This is simply not acceptable. The other issue is the high number of late fees being charged to Lawrence utility customers. The utility billing division determined that about 30 percent of its bills have late fees attached, which is two to three times what other utilities experience. Sunday’s story seems to indicate that there may be some problems in the system for handling electronic payments for utility bills. Many utility customers schedule electronic payments as close as they can to the due dates to manage their cash flow or maximize the interest they earn on their money. In the case the story examined, both the customer and her bank were adamant that the payments were sent in time, but the city was equally adamant that the payment was received late. The city owes it to its customers to launch a thorough audit of how electronic payments are received and posted. If the city needs to provide more and better information to bill payers or their banks, it should do that. If the city needs to alter its own system for handling those payments, it should do that, too. The high percentage of late fees being charged on city bills shouldn’t go unexamined. Mullins seemed unwilling to accept any responsibility for the problems and instead suggested that perhaps if the city charged higher late fees, more people would pay their bills on time. Let us suggest that before taking such action the city needs to make sure its own house is in order. It needs to expedite whatever changes are needed for a late fee to be clearly identified on bills, and it needs to work with customers, banks and its own staff to make sure that late fees are charged in a fair and accurate manner.

U.S. must press free elections in Egypt If you want to understand the Egyptian uprising and how U.S. officials should respond, let me take you back to the pro-democracy demonstrations I witnessed in Cairo in 2005. Middle-class protesters went to the streets then, too, demanding free elections. But the government of President Hosni Mubarak — tarring all opposition as radical Islamists — surrounded them with police in Darth Vader helmets and shields. I spoke with professional women who had been beaten and groped by police, and with young women journalists whom security agents had threatened to jail on prostitution charges. I interviewed a conservative judge who was furious because the government had forbade the judiciary to monitor Egypt’s first contested presidential election. “If we had an independent judiciary and fair elections, everything would change,” I was told by Judge Hesham el-Bastawi. The judge later had a heart attack after being threatened by the regime. I interviewed Egyptians in a working-class slum who complained bitterly about economic conditions, before a burly plainclothes cop snatched and ripped up my notebook; he threatened to punch me when I tried to grab the notes back. Those 2005 demonstrations were small but were a preview of today’s drama. Instead of encouraging a middle-class opposition, the regime crushed it, rigging 2010 parliamentary elections so boldly that the governing party won nearly all seats. The current revolt is far larger, inspired by the rebellion in Tunisia. Egypt’s demonstrators are linked not by clear leadership

Egypt is a vital ally in “fighting Islamist terrorists and in curtailing the spread of Iranian power.”

but by cell phones, Facebook, and Twitter (which the regime blocked last Tuesday). The source of this Egyptian revolt is not Islam, nor is it simply poverty and unemployment. “This is not only about economics,” says Marwan Muasher, a former deputy prime minister of Jordan who fought for political reforms in his country and is an astute Mideast observer. “Most of the slogans are about governance,” Muasher says. “People are fed up with the corruption.” Egyptian demonstrators — mostly young, often college-educated, and jobless — want a reason to hope for their future. They watch bitterly as privileged Egyptians grow rich from corrupt regime ties. They have no voice in the system and no chance of replacing a frozen governing party whose leader has held power for 29 years. That’s why they are calling for Mubarak to go. “Until Arab leaders are willing to put countries on a sustained reform process, and to share power, things will get worse,” says Muasher, now a vice presi-

dent at the Carnegie Endowment in Washington. Serious reform, he says, means “a serious parliament, serious electoral laws, a serious political opening, with no restrictions on political parties.” He says Islamist groups, with their strong following, must be permitted to run so long as they commit to “peaceful means and peaceful rotation of power.” If people in Egypt and elsewhere in the region could see a serious reform process put in place, “they would be willing to wait,” Muasher says. “But things like bringing sons to power are out,” he emphasizes, referring to Mubarak’s reputed plan to have his son Gamal succeed him as president. The Obama administration has had understandable trouble figuring out a response to the uprising, for the same reasons the Bush White House backed off its early support for Egyptian democracy activists. Egypt is a vital ally in fighting Islamist terrorists and in curtailing the spread of Iranian power. Cairo has a peace treaty with Israel and has worked with Washington to curb Hamas Islamists in Gaza and push for the renewal of Israeli-Palestinian talks. Moreover, the Egyptian revolt has no clear leadership; its titular head, former U.N. official and Nobel laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, only just returned to Egypt and has few deep links to the protesters. He is now under house arrest. The best-organized opposition group is the Muslim Brotherhood (although it has not led this upheaval). This raises U.S. fears about a future Islamist government in the region’s largest country. A newly elected Egypt-

ian regime might be anti-American, upending U.S. policy in the Mideast. Yet the march of Egyptian history won’t wait. Calls by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Obama for nonviolence, and their pleas for Mubarak to engage the opposition, have been outpaced by events. The United States is behind the curve. The moderate middle-class demonstrators I met in 2005 were ready for engagement with Mubarak, but he blew it. Today’s rebels might accept a serious dialogue that led to a free vote. But the Egyptian president isn’t listening. His appointment of a new government, and (for the first time) of a vice president, intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, won’t satisfy protesters. They want Mubarak out. The big question now: Will Egypt’s army, which is still popular (unlike the police), mount a coup that ushers in a transitional government? That would permit time for the organization of new, non-Islamist parties and new elections within a reasonable time. The Obama team is correct not to call openly for Mubarak’s exit. But there must be an unequivocal U.S. message conveyed to Mubarak and to his military — both publicly and privately — that the White House endorses Egyptians’ call for serious dialogue that leads to free elections. This will not be an American diktat. The Egyptian drama will produce a new leadership sooner or later no matter the U.S. message. But a clear U.S. position might help make the transition more peaceful and put Washington on the right side. — Trudy Rubin is a columnist and editorial board member for the Philadelphia Inquirer.

When I asked her why their bill didn’t at least identify a late charge as opposed to an “adjustment,” she replied that the current software did not allow them to make that change. I suggested they buy a large red stamp and mark late charge on the bill. In discussing this with friends, I discovered that most people do what I do: pay the total amount of the bill and get it there by the “due date.” Sounds like a lot of people are due a refund!

Therapist charged with stalking soldier WICHITA (AP) — A therapist who was treating a Fort Riley soldier for traumatic stress has been accused of sexually harassing the patient. Rachelle Santiago was charged Monday in a federal criminal complaint with stalking the sergeant she was counseling for post-traumatic stress disorder and marital issues. An affidavit also alleges that she sent him sexually explicit messages and pictures, and that she stalked the soldier and his wife. The woman is a clinical social worker who was working as a contract employee at the Irwin Army Community Hospital. Santiago had been barred from the post on Jan. 25. The next day, she allegedly drove her car through the post’s entry gates and led police on a 50minute vehicle chase through Fort Riley at speeds reaching 110 mph. Officials say Santiago was sent to a state mental hospital for treatment.

KU MEN’S BASKETBALL

Eric Sorrentino esorrentino@ljworld.com

TTech’s bad start surprising

Not lucky in Lubbock

Editor’s note: The following is an entry from Eric Sorrentino’s Conference Chatter blog, which takes a look at features and trends in the Big 12, on KUsports.com. Two-thirds of the way through the college basketball season, the Big 12 has had a few unexpected developments. Texas, not too long after a disastrous last season, looks like a national title contender. Kansas State, after the league’s coaches selected the Wildcats to win the Big 12, look disorganized and undisciplined. KSU’s current standing in the conference: tied for 10th. One of the biggest surprises, though — perhaps as startling as the first two — is how poorly Texas Tech began Big 12 play. The Red Raiders (11-11, 3-4 Big 12), who will play host to Kansas (20-1, 5-1) today in Lubbock, Texas, started conference play 0-4, losing by an average of 21.5 points per game. It just didn’t make sense. Entering the season, Tech had upper-half-of-the-league aspirations. The Red Raiders returned five of their top six scorers from a year ago, including point guard John Roberson and forward Mike Singletary. Both are seniors. I remember attending Big 12 media day in Kansas City, Mo., before the season, when thirdyear coach Pat Knight candidly addressed reporters, saying he was entering a “get-an-extension-or-get-fired kind of year.” At the time, it wasn’t too big a stretch to think Knight could turn the program around. Tech was 14-19 in his first season in 2008-2009 and 19-16 last season. I came away from media day thinking Knight, who typically speaks what’s on his mind, meant business this year. That’s why it was somewhat surprising when Tech appeared to be spiraling its season down the tubes at 0-4 in league play. A sudden burst of life has seemed to re-energize the Red Raiders, however. Tech has won its last three league games, giving Knight his first three-game Big 12 win streak as a head coach. It’s part of the mission of this blog to offer insight occasionally into KU’s Big 12 opposition, but the Red Raiders and their Six Flags over Texas rollercoaster rides into the land of inconsistency are making that rather difficult.

Like coach Self says, you create your energy a little bit. Sometimes it’s tough to do that, you know?” Taylor added. Marcus Morris, who like Taylor is 0-1 in Lubbock, also can’t explain KU’s three-game skid here. “It’s very surprising,” Morris said. “Every year, we have a good team and have been consistent.

Defense is name of game for Big 12 hoops teams

“

Our league is guarding right now. Everybody puts an emphasis on getting stops.” — Kansas coach Bill Self

The Associated Press

This is the year of defense in the Big 12 Conference. Five teams — the most since the conference started in 1996-97 — are allowing fewer than 63 points a game, and just two are giving up more than 70. “Our league is guarding right now,” Kansas coach Bill Self said Monday. “Everybody puts an emphasis on getting stops.” Nebraska started the week first in the league and fourth nationally with a defensive aver-

Your Security. Our Priority.

age of 56.5 points a game. No. 16 Texas A&M was allowing 58.7 points, and No. 3 Texas was giving up 60.5. The Cornhuskers and Aggies met Saturday in Lincoln, and, predictably, defense decided Nebraska’s 57-48 victory. A&M scored 17 points in the second half, was held to two field goals over the last 9:50 and finished with its lowest point total of the season. Tough defense also fueled third-ranked Texas’ 71-58 victory over Missouri in Austin. The

Tigers, the highest-scoring team in the Big 12, were held 27 points below their season average. Texas held Missouri to season lows in points, field-goal percentage (33.9), three-point percentage (22.2) and assists (six). “It is no secret how they play,” Missouri guard Kim English said. “They are a physical team, fast to the ball and big, strong guys.” Baylor coach Scott Drew said defenses have become more sophisticated since he entered

the Big 12 in 2003. No longer do teams rely so much on straight man-to-man schemes. “Everybody has a different twist in what they do,” he said. “It might be doubling the post, switching, denying, more packed defense. It’s tough to prepare for every game because there is an adjustment.” Last season, Kansas led the Big 12 with a 64.2-point defensive average, and five teams allowed 70 or more. “I do think teams we’ve played defensively are better than they

were last year across the board,” Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon said. “It’s been very difficult to manufacture points and get easy shots.” Strong defense has always been Nebraska’s calling card under Doc Sadler. The Huskers have consistently ranked in the top half of the Big 12 under Sadler in scoring defense. Two years ago the Huskers were the only team in the league to give up fewer than 65 points a game.

COMING WEDNESDAY

By Gil LeBreton McClatchy Newspapers

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — I always looked at the eyes. I would stare into the eyes of the Super Bowl participants, measure their responses to our weeklong inquiries, and by the weekend of the big game I would be emboldened enough to predict a winner. Didn’t do badly, either, though I still don’t know how the Giants beat the Patriots three years ago. Something must have gotten in the Patriots’ eyes. There is no science, however, I must admit, in predicting the winner of a Super Bowl. Computers have tried it. Astrologers have tried it. Gamblers — especially gamblers — have tried it. All with varying results. And yet we try. Like the guy in New Jersey who uses Princess the Prognosticating Camel to predict the results of Jets and NFL postseason games. While I was looking into players’ eyeballs at Super Bowl XLII, Princess was correctly predicting the end of New England’s perfect season. At the Portland, Ore., zoo, three orangutans — Kutai, Inji and Batik — have correctly selected five of the past six Super Bowl winners. And in Sherwood, Ore., four cats somehow cooperated to predict the outcome of Super Bowl XLIII. Of course, if cat food bowls and graham cracker treats aren’t reliable enough prognostication methods for you, you could always seek out more scientific means. Like the German researchers who have been tracking the relationship all season between Green Bay Packers results and the sale of mozzarella stick cheese. I didn’t make that up. Or you could get the computers at the website “whatifsports.com” to simulate the game 2,501 times, and predict that Pittsburgh will win Sunday’s game 21-20. Or you could consult the findings of two College of Wooster (Ohio) graduate students, one of whom has never seen an NFL game in person, who have endeavored to predict the outcome based upon each team’s artificial neural networks. I’m still liking the orangutans myself. You could ask famous people what they think about the upcoming game, too. Last year’s poll by the Scripps Howard newspaper chain included the predictions of, among others, Hulk Hogan, poet Maya Angelou, Roseanne Barr, Dick Clark, Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn, Yogi Berra, Dawn Wells (Mary Ann on “Gilligan’s Island”) and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Meanwhile, our newspaper’s always trusty longhorn steer, Rusty, will be in Sundance Square on Friday to predict the outcome. Rusty gained notoriety in the 1990s by “selecting” the stock market. His pen was marked off in squares that corresponded to different stocks. Wherever he went, they bought, so to speak. Not sure how he’s going to do this Super Bowl thing, though. If it’s anything like his old stock market gig, watch your step. Myself, I have always relied upon the eyes. I have looked into the eyes of the Super Bowl teams all week, and then made my prediction accordingly. Except this time. Our deputy editor wanted our Super Bowl picks handed in a week early. So put me down for taking Pittsburgh. I trust the orangutans.

Steelers, Packers arrive in Dallas in fine form FORT WORTH , T EXAS — The big rodeo is in town. It’s called the Super Bowl. If Monday is a fair indication, this could be a wild week in Big D. Video cameras and cowboy hats were in order for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers when they arrived six days before they’ll face off for the NFL championship. With dozens of fans chanting “Go Pack Go,” the Packers witnessed Super Bowl frenzy for the first time in 13 years. Many David J.

A few of them wore cowboy hats, but none went so far as Steelers veteran receiver Hines Ward. He took the “True Grit” route, decked out in black cowboy hat, black shirt, Texassized belt buckle and jeans. “I’m in Dallas, Texas,” Ward said, smiling as if he’d just won the Super Bowl MVP trophy, something he did in the 2006 game. “I wanted to put on my whole cowboy outfit and enjoy it. No nerves.” Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger held his mobile phone high, taking photos of the six-deep pack of reporters at his podium. “Just taking it in stride, enjoying this opportunity regardless of what comes or how it comes,” Roethlisberger said. “Take it all in.” Taking it all in were the big guys who block for him. They paid tribute to tackle Flozell Adams, who spent a dozen seasons as a Dallas Cowboy before joining this Pittsburgh team, by wearing his No. 76 Michigan State shirt as they deplaned. “It’s special to bring back the throwbacks, for all the guys to wear them,” Adams said. “They’re all still walking around with them on. ... I’m grateful for it.”

NFL Polamalu top defender DALLAS — Now that the voters have chosen Troy Polamalu over Clay Matthews for the Associated Press 2010 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, the two stars can prove their worth against each other on the field. In the Super Bowl. Pittsburgh safety Polamalu received 17 votes Monday from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who cover the league, edging Green Bay linebacker Matthews by a hair — two votes.

Tripping aide Alosi resigns NEW YORK — Sal Alosi decided it was time to move on. The embattled New York Jets strength and conditioning coach resigned Monday, less than two months after he was caught tripping an opposing player during a punt return and suspended by the team. Alosi was initially docked without pay for the rest of the season and fined $25,000 by the team for sticking out his knee to trip Miami’s Nolan Carroll during a game at the New Meadowlands Stadium on Dec. 12. He was suspended indefinitely by the team a few days later after acknowledging he ordered players to form a wall along the sideline. “After the events that have transpired, I feel it’s best for my family and me to look for a

Commish, union head meet DALLAS — Trying to kick-start lagging labor talks as the Super Bowl fast approaches, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and union executive director DeMaurice Smith met Monday in New York and drew up a schedule for new negotiating sessions. Goodell and Smith spoke about “a range of issues related to a new collective bargaining agreement,” according to a joint statement released by the league and union. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello would not reveal details of those discussions. Goodell and Smith also met Jan. 19 in New York, where the league is headquartered.

The Titans confirmed they completed the interview of offensive line coach Monday on Twitter. Munchak is considered the top candidate for the head coaching vacancy.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL OSU unanimous No. 1; KU No. 2 Ohio State, the lone remaining unbeaten team, is a unanimous No. 1 in the men’s college basketball poll by the Associated Press. The Buckeyes are one of three top 10 teams not to lose last week and they received all the first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel Monday. It’s Ohio State’s third straight week at No. 1. Kansas and Texas are the only other top 10s to escape last week without a loss. They jumped four places to second and third. Rounding out the top 10 are Pittsburgh, Duke, Connecticut, San Diego State, BYU, Notre Dame and Kentucky.

Baylor women remain No. 1 Baylor remains No. 1 after its closest game in two months. The Bears received 25 first-place votes Monday in the women’s college basketball poll by the Associated Press.

Hoiberg says Monday in a statement that Godfrey will be eligible to return to the Cyclones on Feb. 16 at Texas A&M. No other details about the suspension were released. Godfrey, a freshman forward from Robbinsdale, Minn., is averaging 4.1 points and 4.7 rebounds this season.

Big 12 teams emphasize defense CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

With Lance Jeter averaging almost two steals and Andre Almeida and Jorge Brian Diaz each blocking at least one shot a game, the Huskers (155, 3-3) already have matched their win total from a year ago and have won one more conference game. The Huskers have held seven of their 20 opponents under 50 points and 12 under 40 percent shooting from the field. Only one opponent has shot better than 46 percent, and five have been below 30 percent. Sadler said some teams can get away with lax defense because they’re so good offensively. That’s not the case with his Huskers, whose 68.8 point scoring average is second-tolast in the Big 12. “We’ve sold the fact to our players that if you want a chance to be in most games, we have to defend,” Sadler said. Texas (18-3, 6-0) has held its first 21 opponents to an average of 60.5 points on 36.6 percent shooting, including 27.8 percent from long range. The Longhorns’ first six Big 12

opponents have managed 54.2 points a game on a combined 36.9 percent shooting, including 20.5 percent on threes. Tristan Thompson, a 6foot-8 freshman, has been a force in the middle with his rebounding and ability to block shots with either hand. He leads the league with 2.19 blocks a game. The Longhorns’ perimeter defense, led by Jordan Hamilton, is one of the team’s most improved areas. Texas assistant Russell Springmann said the players look out for one another on the defensive end. “That’s something special when you get a group of guys who are willing to cover their man,” he said, “and one more.” Texas A&M (17-3, 4-2) has limited nine opponents to under 38 percent shooting, and Khris Middleton, B.J. Holmes and Dash Harris are each averaging better than a steal a game. “It’s the culture you set from the beginning,” Turgeon said. “They realize to be part of the team and rotation, they have to defend. You look around the league, and most teams coach that way.”

BIG 12/TOP 25 ROUNDUP

Texas routs Texas A&M The Associated Press

No. 3 Texas 69, No. 16 Texas A&M 49 COLLEGE STATION , T EXAS — Moments after Texas wrapped up its victory over Texas A&M on Monday night, Aggies coach Mark Turgeon delivered a message to winning coach Rick Barnes. “I told Rick, if they keep improving and stay healthy, they can win a national championship,” Turgeon said. “I haven’t said that about many teams. I said that about Kansas the year they won it. I’ve been doing this 24 years, and I haven’t seen many teams as good as Texas.” Jordan Hamilton scored 20 points to help the Longhorns to their first victory in College Station since 2004. Texas never trailed and built a 25-point lead by halftime thanks to hot shooting and its trademark stifling defense. The Aggies outscored the Longhorns by five points in the second half, but the dominant first half kept Texas (19-3, 7-0) undefeated in the Big 12. Texas outscored the Aggies 14-4 on fast breaks, and Texas A&M seemed to have trouble keeping up with the Longhorns’ pace of play. “We want to run,” Barnes said. “We want to get out in transition. We wanted to have that mind-set, to push it.” The Longhorns are still looking for more on defense despite the strong performance. “We can still get better,” guard Dogus Balbay said. “We still make mistakes. We’ve got to eliminate those. We can always get better on defense.” The Aggies (17-4, 4-3) have lost three of four in a skid that began when Texas beat them, 81-60, in Austin less than two weeks ago to snap a 13-game winning streak. Turgeon is worried about his team after an effort he called embarrassing. He believes his players got too high on themselves during their winning streak. “I’ve got to get my team back,” he said. “I don’t like the way we’re playing. I think we just got really caught up in ourselves and became a little bit uncoachable. I’ve felt this coming for a while and I just hope I can fix it by Saturday.” B.J. Holmes had 19 points for Texas A&M. He bruised his right knee late in the game and had to sit out, but Turgeon isn’t sure if the injury will keep him out on Saturday against Baylor.

MANHATTAN (AP) — Kansas State coach Frank Martin says forward Wally Judge has quit the team. Martin announced the departure of the 6-foot-9 sophomore Monday afternoon, quoting Judge as saying he was unhappy. Judge had been in and out of the Wildcats lineup this season. He played in 17 of Kansas State’s 22 games, averaging 5.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 15.2 minutes. He started 11 games early in the season, but missed five for personal or disciplinary reasons. Martin said he wasn’t surprised. “I kind of saw it coming with some of his emotional situations,” Martin said at his regularly scheduled news conference. “He just has not been enjoying it. He told me today that he thinks it’s time for a change.” Judge played 17 minutes in Saturday’s 90-66 loss at thenNo. 6 Kansas, scoring five points and grabbing two rebounds before fouling out. His departure is the latest tremor in what started as a promising year for the Wild-

Freddy Asprilla, a 6-10 junior-college transfer and Colombia native who had been expected to add heft and offense inside this year, abruptly quit the program in early January. The Wildcats are 5-6 over-

all since Dec. 21, when senior guard and acknowledged team leader Jacob Pullen was suspended for three games and forward Curtis Kelly for six after questions were raised about clothing they had obtained at a Manhattan department store. Kansas State won a schoolrecord 29 games last year and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.

No. 13 Georgetown 62, No. 15 Louisville 59 WASHINGTON — Chris Wright scored a season-high 24 points, and Georgetown overcame a major dose of Big East ugly to get its fifth straight win, blowing an 11-point second-half lead before pulling out a victory over Louisville. Wright, who was held scoreless in the Hoyas’ win at

then-No. 8 Villanova on Saturday, went 8-for-8 from the free-throw line, including making two with 4.4 seconds left that forced the Cardinals to attempt a three-pointer to tie. Peyton Siva, who had perhaps his worst collegiate game, dribbled down the court and missed from the top of the key at the horn. The Hoyas (17-5, 6-4) won a game that featured 32 turnovers — 16 for each team — but their winning streak has them in the top half of the conference standings after a 14 start.

an NBA lottery pick if he leaves early. Walker, a 6-1 junior, also could be NBA-bound after this season. In a tie game with the clock winding down, Walker would be the pick of any player in college basketball to take the last shot. Walker nailed a game-winning jumper with five seconds left in overtime to beat Texas on the road, and a little more than a week later, took down Villanova with a drive through the lane and a floater with 2.5 seconds left. It was at the Maui Invitational where the point guard first turned heads. He scored 31 points against Wichita State, 30 against then-No. 2 Michigan State — including the game-deciding shot — and 29 points against thenNo. 9 Kentucky to win the tournament MVP award and help the off-the-radar Huskies ascend to national prominence. Averaging 24.2 points per game, Walker currently ranks third nationally in scoring. His speed and deft ballhandling skills give opponents fits. Lately, Walker’s numbers have fallen, but he still produces against Big East competition nightly. “He’s gotten better and better and better,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “He’s come down to earth a hair, but he’s at an atmosphere higher than the rest of us.”

Dear Twin: This is extreme sibling rivalry. Bullies are often jealous and insecure. Talk to your school counselor. Then look into switching classes and extracurricular activities so you are not together. Make different friends. Join sports groups outside of school. Be sure to attend different colleges.

Dear Annie: My son and his girlfriend, “Mandy,” have a beautiful baby boy, “Cal,” who is my first grandchild. Mandy also has a daughter, “Lila,” from a previous marriage. Lila is now 4, and Cal, with whom I spend a lot of time, is 2. Lila used to call me “Grandma,” but recently began calling me “Grandma Kay.” Mandy has always kept her distance from me, and I suspect this is a way to keep Lila from getting too close. I am worried that Cal will start calling me by my first name, too. I asked Mandy to have Lila simply call me “Grandma,” but she refused and now laughs when her daughter calls me Grandma Kay. Cal is

‘Frontline’ explodes the ‘CSI’ fantasy All murder mysteries begin with a body. And in every story from “The Wizard of Oz” to “CSI,” we need a medical examiner, pathologist or coroner to declare that the deceased is not merely dead, but really most sincerely dead. The popular “CSI” franchise assures us that homicides are investigated by experts with the latest in 21st-century technology. Tonight’s can’t-miss “Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) “Post Mortem” argues that this couldn’t be further from the truth. It exposes the remarkably inconsistent and frequently incompetent jobs performed by elected coroners and forensic pathologists. In too many towns and counties, pathologists have no experience or relevant expertise, and they are overwhelmed, understaffed and work in facilities 50 years behind the times. One pathologist describes autopsies performed in garages with only a single light bulb for illumination. Again, as any fan of “CSI” knows, autopsy reports are crucial to homicide investigations and prosecution. A botched report can send the wrong person to prison, or cover up a murder and allow a killer to go free. And in public health, post-mortem investigations are also the front line of defense, warning medical experts against possible epidemics. “Post Mortem” follows several crucial cases. In one, a husband fell under suspicion for suffocating his wife after he had reported her apparent suicide. But investigation into the private facility that issued the autopsy report revealed a pathologist with a record of severe alcoholism and serial incompetence. Prosecutors were forced to drop the charges. In another case, a South Carolina coroner felt forced to cremate the decaying remains of a “John Doe” because he had no proper refrigerated place to store the cadaver. The plight of the victim, and his shoddy treatment, came to light only when it later became known that “John Doe” was the missing father of NBA star Michael Jordan. Qualifications vary from state to state and from one country to another. After the scandal of Michael Jordan’s father, the county changed its laws to require that its coroner have at least a high school diploma. One county had employed a blind coroner for decades! Most of the experts interviewed here agree that this is a nationwide scandal that requires federal attention. This is an exceptional, gripping report, even by “Frontline” standards. Budding crime novelists should not miss this and should take notes while watching.

Tonight’s other highlights ● “Pioneers of Television” (7 p.m., PBS) celebrates classic crime dramas. ● Erica discovers rifts in the resistance on “V” (8 p.m., ABC). ● Alicia’s client makes a sudden confession on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS) ● Fitch falls under suspicion on “Detroit 1-8-7” (9 p.m., ABC). ● Light’s brother may be in too deep on “Lights Out” (9 p.m., FX). ● Women of various ages discuss alcohol on “Seven Ages of Drinking” (9 p.m., BBC America), the first of a four-part series to discuss drinking, love, marriage and pregnancy.

Dear Annie: I have an 18year-old fraternal twin sister. We have the same friends, the same classes and the same extracurriculars. The problem is, she bullies me. If I have something she wants, she throws things at me. She pushes me out of my chair so she can sit in it. She constantly teases me, even when our friends are over. She says things like, “People only hang out with you because you’re my twin,” and “You should lose some of your fat.” Everything I do, we do. Everything we do, she’s the boss. If I resist, she hits me. We have an older sister, but she favors my twin. My friends don’t want to get involved or are oblivious to it. My parents do nothing. It’s obviously hard to avoid her, and I’m tired of sinking to her level. What can I do? — Twin Problems
