KU to seek new football coach, must pay $6M left on contract

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University football coach Turner Gill, who struggled to a 5-19 record during his two seasons, has been fired and will receive the remaining $6 million owed to him within 90 days, as outlined in his five-year contract.

“After a thorough evaluation of our football program,” KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said in a statement, “I have concluded that new leadership is necessary to place us on the path toward

competing for championships in the Big 12 Conference. I come to this conclusion reluctantly, because I have the utmost respect for Turner Gill as a quality individual who wants only the best for the young men he coaches.”

Gill, 49, was hired by former athletic director Lew Perkins in December 2009 to replace Mark Mangino, who was pressured into resigning after a Perkins-launched investigation into Mangino’s treatment of his players.

Gill went 1-16 in Big 12 games. Overall, his teams

lost by 30 points or more 10 times, including losses this season by scores of 66-24 (Georgia Tech), 70-28 (Oklahoma State), 59-21 (Kansas State), 43-0 (Texas) and 61-7 (Texas A&M).

His lone Big 12 win was against Colorado in November 2010.

Sources have told the Journal-World that the search to identify a successor to Gill will move quickly, as Zenger essentially has had the past several weeks to map out a game plan.

KU chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little also released a

statement regarding Gill’s dismissal: “We are striving for excellence across KU’s academic and research missions, and that drive extends to all of our athletic programs,” Gray-Little said. “In consulting with Athletics Director Zenger, I agree that in order to achieve the excellence we seek in Kansas football “Yes.

Spirits of the season Selling public on progress not always easy can challenge efforts at sobriety KANSAS BIOSCIENCE AUTHORITY

For many people, the holidays are a chance to celebrate with friends, family and co-workers. But it can also be a precarious time for anyone recovering from alcohol and drug abuse.

“Any celebratory event may raise the risk of relapse or pose a challenge to those recovering,” said Jody Brook, a social work professor at Kansas University. “We just happen to have an intense frequency of celebrations

over the next six weeks.”

Add in potentially stressful interactions with family, and the holidays are the “perfect storm” of challenges for people struggling with substance abuse, Brook said.

Anyone in the early stages of recovery — less than a year — are particularly vulnerable, said Kendall Heiman, program director for Professional Treatment Services, 3205 Clinton Parkway Court.

As the Kansas Bioscience Authority continues to work through issues that include an ongoing forensic audit and criminal investigation in Johnson County, its leadership is struggling to find new ways to explain how it’s contributing to the state’s economy.

While some of its programs are easier to understand, others are much more complicated. And the discussions about how to best report the state-subsidized authority’s dealings has been the subject of discussions among its staff and board of directors.

The authority recently

filled two new posts dealing with communications to help with the effort. In addition to the July hiring of Sherlyn Manson, director of communications and marketing, the authority also hired Stephanie Meyer in October to serve in the new role of director of external affairs.

David Vranicar, interim president and CEO of the authority, said Meyer will be dealing directly with communicating with state government officials and other constituencies, including speaking to community organizations like Rotary clubs. Meyer’s post replaces a director of special projects position formerly held by

Lindsay Thornton, the wife of former KBA CEO Tom Thornton.

Vranicar said he knows how difficult it can be to communicate information about the KBA. The authority has control over a sizeable amount of state funds.

But even how it receives money from the state is determined by a complicated formula that governs how much it receives from taxes collected from the bioscience industry. Last year, the KBA received the maximum amount it was eligible for, or about $35 million, from the state.

Those funds are then invested in a variety of different bioscience projects.

Telling the story Earlier this month, the authority distributed a press release detailing some of the results of its investments, the latest effort to explain an often complicated set of investments to the public.

The authority makes investments, grants and loans to companies and universities working in the bioscience sector. It announced earlier this week that its $87.5 million in investments since its founding in 2004 had led to $816.5 million in “direct outcomes,” including new jobs, external research funding awarded in Kansas and capital expenditures made as

HOW TO HELP

Program: Safe Winter Walkways Contact: Call 785-832-3338 or register at lawrenceks.org The City of Lawrence and Douglas County Senior Services are looking for volunteers for the annual Safe Winter Walkways program. The program matches volunteers with individuals who need assistance removing snow from their sidewalks and driveways.

If you’re interested in volunteering, call 785-832-3338 or register as a volunteer online at lawrenceks.org. The program depends on volunteers and local residents being matched before bad weather so get signed up now if you’re available to help.

a result of the KBA’s funding.

But KBA officials said it’s hard to know exactly how much of those results were directly tied to the KBA’s investment, as usually KBA funding is made in conjunction with other sources.

In some cases, it’s clearer than others. Take, for example, the KBA’s Eminent Scholar program, said Dan Watkins, a Lawrence attorney who is serving as the chairman of the KBA’s board of directors. The KBA has contributed funds to hire important faculty members in support of the Kansas University Cancer Center’s ongoing quest to achieve National Cancer Institute designation and has supported Manhattan’s effort to bring in the National Bio and AgroDefense Facility.

Roy Jensen, the cancer center’s director, has told the authority’s board that its funding has been critical in getting those faculty members — and the critical NCI funding they bring — to come to KU. “We’re very proud to be a child in your organization,” Jensen told the board in July.

Watkins said that the KBA contributions for university faculty, which can be in excess of $1 million, are important, even though the universities typically fund half of the packages, too.

Getting more complicated Other investments, though, aren’t always as simple as paying some money and then having a new faculty member show up in town with research funds in tow. Vranicar recently explained a venture capital program, one of the more complicated programs in the KBA. It has the aim of generating more money for startup firms to spend on their businesses.

The KBA approached eight venture capital firms from out of state (there are no significant venture capital firms in Kansas, Vranicar said).

The KBA said it was willing to invest in them, provided the firms agreed to certain stipulations. They must establish a presence in Kansas, for example, and make a good faith effort to invest in Kansas companies.

They’re not required to invest in Kansas companies, though, Vranicar said.

So far, under the program, the KBA has announced intentions to invest $10 million in one firm and $5 million in two others. About half of that money has been invested so far, and Kansas has seen about $20 million in other new investments because of it.

Still, explaining the benefits of a program that invests Kansas state tax dollars in out-of-state companies without requirements that they spend money in Kansas can be a difficult task.

Kenny Wilk is a former Republican state legislator from Lansing who serves on the board as a nonvoting member representing the Kansas Board of Regents. He wrote the legislation that created the authority in 2004.

He said that he didn’t personally have the solution for the issue but that both the authority and the regents could do a better job of telling the authority’s story to the public.

“It’s not the public’s fault if they don’t understand,” Wilk said.

He said he thought Kansans, and Americans in general, understood the value of investing in innovative research. But it’s not always an easy concept to get across.

“It’s very difficult to explain all of that, but that’s our job to get it done,” he said.

always sees an influx of new and returning clients during the holidays and immediately following them.

Richard, a Lawrence man and recovering alcoholic who asked not to use his real name, said he tries to take a different view during the upcoming holiday season.

Instead of fearing relapse into addiction, Richard, sober for more than two years, celebrates the freedom from substance abuse.

“When I was drunk, I wasn’t there,” Richard said of past holidays. “Or when I was there, I wasn’t there.”

But free from alcohol, “I get to be present for activities,” he said. “It’s really a time for me to make restitution.”

However, Richard, who assists other alcoholics by responding to a 24-hour hotline, said he recognizes that for many people, the chances

Jody Brook, social work professor at Kansas University, provided these holiday tips for family and friends of those in recovery: ! Just as you plan meals around those with specific dietary needs, plan for individuals who do not drink and have alternatives available. ! Create a celebratory culture where it’s OK not to drink. !"Privately ask the person in recovery if there’s anything you can do to help. !"Be respectful of a person’s need to limit interactions in certain situations.

for relapse during this time of year are increased.

“We get a lot of calls all during the holidays,” he said.

It comes down to keeping up with recovery and the daily routines that have helped people stay sober, Heiman said.

With their clients, counselors help those in recovery create a relapse-prevention plan specific to this time of year, including exit strategies and other coping mecha-

nisms for when relapse triggers occur.

Simply put, the holiday season is no time to take a holiday from recovery, Heiman said, and pointed out the daily Alcoholic Anonymous meetings that run consistently during this time of year.

“Lawrence is rich in recovery,” she said.

Arab League sanctions Syria In an unprecedented move against an Arab nation, the Arab League on Sunday approved economic sanctions on Syria to pressure Damascus to end its deadly suppression of an 8-month-old uprising against President Bashar Assad.

But even as world leaders abandon Assad, the regime has refused to ease a military assault on dissent that already has killed more than 3,500 people.

On Sunday, Damascus slammed the sanctions as a betrayal of Arab solidarity and insisted a foreign conspiracy was behind the revolt, all but assuring more bloodshed will follow.

The sanctions are among the clearest signs yet of the isolation Syria is suffering because of the crackdown. Damascus has long boasted of being a powerhouse of Arab nationalism, but Assad has been abandoned by some of his closest allies and now his Arab neighbors. The growing movement against his regime could transform some of the most enduring alliances in the Middle East and beyond.

Officials: Fire from Pakistan led to attack Afghanistan officials claimed Sunday that Afghan and NATO forces were retaliating for gunfire from two Pakistani army bases when they called in airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, adding a layer of complexity to an episode that has further strained Pakistan’s ties with the United States.

The account challenged Pakistan’s claim that the strikes were unprovoked.

The attack Saturday near the Afghan-Pakistani border aroused popular anger in Pakistan and added tension to the U.S.-Pakistani relationship, which has been under pressure since the secret U.S. raid inside Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden in May. Pakistan has closed its western border to trucks delivering supplies to coalition troops in Afghanistan, demanded that the U.S. abandon an air base inside Pakistan and said it will review its cooperation with the U.S. and NATO. 3 | CAIRO

Egypt heads to landmark vote today Egyptians prepared to vote today in the first elections since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster, a milestone many hoped would usher in a democratic age after decades of dictatorship. Instead, the polling is already marred by turmoil in the streets, and the population is sharply polarized and confused over the nation’s direction.

Nine months after the popular uprising that pushed Mubarak out, protesters are back in the streets. This time, they are demanding that military ruler Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi and his council of generals step down immediately, accused of bungling the transition. Nine days of clashes that have left more than 40 dead have heightened fears of violence at polling stations.

More critically, the political crisis has cast doubt on the legitimacy of the vote, which is expected to be dominated by Islamic parties. That could render the parliament that emerges irrelevant.

Trees trimmed, ready for festival Christmas creations to be auctioned off to benefit nonprofit

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Local business owners, individuals and community groups got into the holiday spirit Sunday — for a good cause.

Charitable givers set up and decorated Christmas trees in Liberty Hall, 644 Mass., for the 25th annual Festival of Trees, a benefit auction for The Shelter Inc., a Lawrence nonprofit that provides social services for children in, or at risk of going into, state care.

Visitors can get a sneak peek of the trees and wreaths beginning at 10 a.m. today for a $3 donation (kids are free) that goes to The Shelter. Viewing continues until 8:30 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, when the fancy conifers will be auctioned off. Then there will be more display time from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. Shelter volunteers will then deliver on Friday.

Judy Culley, executive director of The Shelter, has been involved with the nonprofit since 1981 and said she modeled the festival on that of another nonprofit in Topeka. In 25 years, despite some rough economic patches, tree donators and purchasers have been giving, she said.

“It’s good to watch how many people want to do something to help,” she said. “People are just incredibly generous, and it’s great to see how much they want to be involved in community events and help kids.”

This is the first year Building Blocks Daycare, 1411 E. 1800 Road, has donated a tree, and teacher Cassandra Mayhugh said all the kids there helped to decorate by making their own crafts, from handprint reindeer to embellished candy canes.

CANDICE CESARE, LAWRENCE, OF ORTHOKANSAS P.A., DECORATES her “Bad to the Bone” Christmas tree during setup for the annual Festival of Trees on Sunday at Liberty Hall, 644 Mass., in downtown Lawrence.

“Everyone had a part,” she said.

Beth Kelley, along with her husband, Marshall Kelley, gave a different kind of tree — one that’s supposed to last all year round. Part of the Douglas County Master Gardeners, they built a “Mrs. Claus” gardening cart with a detachable wooden tree frame.

“We wanted to give something practical,” she said Culley said she appreciated

how many different kinds of groups participated.

“It’s a total mix of people,” she said. “That’s part of what makes it a nice community event.”

Admission to the live auction Tuesday is a $35 donation. There will also be a silent auction for the donated wreaths.

TOPEKA — State regulators on Tuesday will hold the first of two public hearings on Westar Energy’s $91 million rate hike request.

If approved by the Kansas Corporation Commission, the proposal would increase residential customers’ bills by approximately $6.50, or 5.85 percent, per month, and give Westar shareholders a 10.6 percent return on equity.

Officials with Westar, the state’s largest electric company in Kansas, say the increase is needed to maintain a reliable system, comply with environmental regulations and keep its commitments to the employee pension system, which was hurt by stock market losses.

“Our costs to provide reliable service and comply with new regulations has increased since our last rate request, which has led us to ask for a modest increase in price,” Westar spokesman Leonard Allen said.

The Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board, or CURB, is opposed to the proposed increase.

“Westar is asking for 10.6 percent shareholder profit, which we believe is clearly excessive in a market where 30-year bonds are selling below 3 percent, Please see WESTAR, page 4A

Gingrich wins N.H. endorsement Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich landed the endorsement of New Hampshire’s largest newspaper on Sunday while rival Mitt Romney earned a dismissive wave, potentially resetting the race in the state with the first-in-the-nation primary.

For Gingrich, the former House speaker, the backing builds on his recent rise in the polls and quick work to build a campaign after a disastrous start in the summer. Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who has a vacation home in the state and has been called a “nearly native son of New Hampshire,” absorbed the blow heading into the Jan. 10 vote that’s vital to his campaign strategy.

“We don’t back candidates based on popularity polls or big-shot backers. We look for conservatives of courage and conviction who are independentminded, grounded in their core beliefs about this nation and its people, and best equipped for the job,” The New Hampshire Union Leader said in its frontpage editorial, which was as much a promotion of Gingrich as a discreet rebuke of Romney.

The Union Leader’s editorial telegraphed conservatives’ concerns about Romney’s shifts on crucial issues of abortion and gay rights were unlikely to fade. Those worries have led Romney to keep Iowa’s Jan. 3 caucuses — where conservatives hold great sway — at arm’s length.

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

With a national television audience watching, Kansas University graduate Cassie Rupp said she did her best to represent the Jayhawks during her appearances on the second season of CMT’s “Sweet Home Alabama.”

“I said ‘Rock Chalk Jayhawk’ all the time,” Rupp said of her time on the reality show that pits 11 city girls versus 11 country girls in the battle for the heart of one man. And pretty quickly, she earned the nickname “Rock Chalk Cassie.”

But the Dighton, Kan., native’s attempts to wear Jayhawk gear were often thwarted by production staff, much to Rupp’s dismay.

Love Where You Live

Showing her Jayhawk pride catching the KU men’s basketball team play in Maui last week, Rupp talked about her time on the show, Rupp which is broadcast at 8 p.m. Fridays on CMT. She had to keep mum on whether she’d be the final girl picked by former Clemson University football quarterback Tribble Reese.

“We’re all keeping secrets,” Rupp said of the contractual obligation not to release any of the details of the show before it airs.

Rupp has kept in the running for six weeks, but she’ll have to keep quiet about the results un-

til the Dec. 9 season finale.

She said the experience has been “the best time” of her life, as she’s made friends and learned a lot about the behind-the-scenes work of television, which she hopes to possibly make a career.

Rupp graduated from KU in 2010 with a journalism degree in strategic communications. She moved to California and worked some marketing jobs but has since decided she’d like to work as a broadcast journalist. She’s working as a model and freelance host in California.

Her dream job? To come back to Kansas and be the host of the Kansas City cable channel “38 the Spot.”

Rupp started shooting episodes of “Sweet Home Alabama” in August and spent five weeks

on the show, traveling to exotic date locations and making friends with the other women.

But it wasn’t all fun and games.

After all, it’s a competition.

“Some of the girls were extremely competitive,” she said.

They “made life challenging for the rest of us.”

Rupp said she was easily the biggest fan of her college on the show, but she had to go with the flow at times.

On one outing to visit Reese’s alma mater, Clemson, Rupp and the girls had to wear Clemson team colors — orange and purple.

“It wasn’t like I had to wear all purple or Missouri colors,” she said.

Teen tweeter won’t apologize to gov.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — A Kansas teenager who wrote a disparaging tweet about Gov. Sam Brownback said Sunday that she is rejecting her high school principal’s demand for a written apology.

Emma Sullivan, 18, of the Kansas City suburb of Fairway, said she isn’t sorry and doesn’t think such a letter would be sincere.

The Shawnee Mission East senior was taking part in a Youth in Government program last week in Topeka, Kan., when she sent out a tweet from the back of a crowd of students listening to Brownback’s greeting. From her cellphone, she thumbed: “Just made mean comments at gov. brownback

and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot.”

She actually made no such comment and said she was “just joking with friends.” But Brownback’s office, which monitors social media for postings containing the governor’s name, saw Sullivan’s post and contacted the Youth in Government program.

Sullivan received a scolding at school and was ordered to send Brownback an apology letter. She said Principal Karl R. Krawitz even suggested talking points for the letter she was supposed to turn in today.

The situation exploded after Sullivan’s older sister contacted the media. Since then, Sullivan’s

following on Twitter has grown to about 3,000 people, up from about 65 before the tweet. She said she thinks the tweet has helped “open up dialogue” about free speech in social media.

Sullivan has received emails from attorneys but is waiting to see what happens when she refuses to hand in a letter.

Krawitz, her principal, told The Kansas City Star previously that the situation is a “private issue, not a public matter” but didn’t return a phone message from The Associated Press at his home Sunday.

She hasn’t heard from Brownback or his staff. She said she wouldn’t mind sitting down and talking to the governor.

“I’m Glowing!”

Recent rate increases

unemployment is high and risk has been moved to ratepayers through all of the line item riders,” said David Springe, consumer counsel for CURB. But Westar’s Allen said the 10.6 percent return on equity is in line with Westar’s peers in the electric industry.

The “line item riders” Springe referred to are increases that Westar receives by passing through costs to ratepayers.

In 2008, Westar requested a $177 million rate increase and was granted a $130 million increase that took effect in 2009. Since then, the utility has also received several increases from the KCC through pass-throughs of costs related to transmission investments and environmental improvements at its plants.

“We need to rethink this policy of allowing annual increases with little oversight,” Springe said.

About $20 million of the proposed increase now before the KCC is to expand a tree-trimming program.

Westar says this will reduce

Since 2009, Westar customers have seen a $265 million increase in rates. The company is now seeking another $91 million increase.

Here is a breakdown of rate increases. Note: The 2008 rate increase took effect in 2009.

2008: general rate increase, $130 million or 11 percent.

2009: transmission delivery rate increase, $31.8 million or 2.4 percent.

2009: environmental cost recovery rate increase, $32.4 million or 2.5 percent.

2010: abbreviated rate increase, $17.1 million or 1.2 outages from tree branches falling on power lines, but Springe said $20 million extra for this job seemed high when Westar is already spending $25 million per year on tree trimming. Allen says that the preventive trimming program will save money in the long run and increase reliability.

Another $37 million is needed to help Westar’s employee pension fund, which was hurt by stock market losses.

percent.

2010: transmission delivery rate increase, $6 million or .4 percent.

2010: environmental cost recovery rate increase, $13.5 million or .9 percent.

2010: energy efficiency rate increase, $5.8 million or .4 percent.

2011: transmission delivery rate increase, $17.4 million or 1.1 percent.

2011: environmental cost recovery rate increase, $11.2 million or .7 percent.

2012: rate increase request of $91 million or 5.85 percent.

BRIEFLY Robotic tech firm opens in SE Kansas PITTSBURG (AP) — A new business in southeast Kansas will market a South Korean firm’s robotic technologies.

The Joplin Globe reports that there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony this past week for the grand opening of the Sapience Corporation. The firm is the official North American distributor for electronic education equipment created by ED Co., Ltd., a South Korea-based company.

Gov. Sam Brownback was on hand for the ribbon cutting.

He said the business represents the cutting edge of what can be done.

He says it will allow Kansas to reach out to other South Korean companies and try to lure them to the state.

Reading businesses ready to reopen READING (AP) — Businesses are beginning to reopen in a tornado-ravaged Kansas town.

The EF-3 tornado that hit the small Lyon County town of Reading killed one person. The May 21 twister also demolished 54 of the town’s 101 towns and nearly all its businesses.

Now the town is getting back its bank, café and grain elevator.

The Topeka Capital Journal reported that a full-service branch of Citizens State Bank and Trust in Woodbine will start doing business on Dec. 5. Reta Jackson hopes she can start serving meals out of The Miracle Cafe in early December.

Plus, the owner of Reading Grain and Lumber Inc. expects to maintain consistent hours at the grain elevator by the end of the year. The elevator was deemed a total loss after the tornado.

Student says he was beaten after arrest in Cairo

By Kelly Daschle Associated Press

Forced to lie still for hours in the dark, the American students held during protests in Egypt were told they would be shot if they moved or made any noise, one of them said Sunday on his first full day home.

“It was the most frightening experience of my life, I believe,” Derrik Sweeney said.

Speaking to The Associated Press by Skype from Jefferson City, Mo., Sweeney said the evening of Nov. 20 started peacefully in Cairo, with Tahrir Square “abuzz with ideas of democracy and freedom.”

The three wandered the streets and wound up in a large group of protesters outside the Interior Ministry, Sweeney said. The demonstrations escalated, with the protesters yelling and perhaps throwing stones, he said.

“Eventually the police shot back something, I’m not exactly sure what,” he said.

“We didn’t wait to see. But as soon as we saw some sort of firing coming from the gun and heard it, the whole crowd stampeded out and we sprinted away.”

He said they fled to an area that seemed calmer and were approached by four or five Egyptians in plain clothes.

The Egyptians offered to lead them to safety but instead took them into custody, Sweeney said.

They were threatened to be force-fed gasoline, beaten and forced to lie in a nearfetal position in the dark for six hours with their hands in cuffs behind their backs, Sweeney said. He said they were told: “If you move or make any noise, we will shoot you.”

“They were hitting us in the face and in the back of the neck,” he said. “Not to the point of bleeding or I can’t say I have any lasting major scars at this point, but they were hitting us.”

Sweeney is 19 and studies at Georgetown University.

He was arrested along with Luke Gates, 21, who attends Indiana University and is from Bloomington, Ind., and Gregory Porter, 19, who studies at Drexel University and is from Glenside, Pa. The students flew home Saturday after an Egyptian court ordered their release two days earlier. The three were studying abroad at American University in Cairo, which is near Tahrir Square.

Medicare’s drug coverage gap shrinks

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Medicare’s prescription coverage gap is getting noticeably smaller and easier to manage this year for millions of older and disabled people with high drug costs.

The “doughnut hole,” an anxiety-inducing catch in an otherwise popular benefit, will shrink about 40 percent for those unlucky enough to land in it, according to new Medicare figures provided in response to a request from The Associated Press.

The average beneficiary who falls into the coverage gap would have spent $1,504 this year on prescriptions.

But thanks to discounts and other provisions in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law, that cost fell to $901, according to Medicare’s Office of the Actuary, which handles economic estimates.

A 50 percent discount that the law secured from pharmaceutical companies on brand name drugs yielded an average savings of $581. Medicare also picked up more of the cost of generic drugs, saving an additional $22.

The estimates are averages, so some Medicare recipients may do worse and others better. Also, it’s still unclear if the discounts will start to overcome seniors’ deep unease about the law.

Concern over cutting Medicare to expand coverage for the uninsured helped push older voters toward Republicans in the 2010 congressional elections. Obama and the Democrats have been trying to woo them back ever since.

“For people with high drug expenditures, the 50 percent discount offers real savings,” said Tricia Neuman, director of Medicare policy for the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. “It’s certainly

The “doughnut hole,” an anxiety-inducing catch in an otherwise popular benefit, will shrink about 40 percent for those unlucky enough to land in it, according to new Medicare figures. more helpful than no coverage at all, which is what they had previously.”

More than 2 million beneficiaries already have gotten some help, discounts that have gone largely to middleclass seniors, because the poor are covered in the gap at taxpayer expense.

For retired elementary school teacher Carolyn Friedman, it meant she didn’t need a loan to pay for drugs that keep her epilepsy under control.

“What a change for the better,” said Friedman, 71, of Sunrise, Fla. “This year it was easier to pay my bills, whereas last year I had to borrow money to pay for my medications when I was in the doughnut hole.”

One of her brand-name anti-seizure drugs cost about $370 in the gap last year, and the other about $270. This year Friedman paid about $150 and $130, respectively, for a month’s supply.

Medicare covers about 47 million older and disabled people, and about 9 in 10 have some kind of prescription plan. Most rely on the drug benefit, also known as Part D, which is delivered through private insurance plans.

Beneficiaries have until Dec. 7 to change their drug plans for 2012. Consumer advocates recommend that seniors check their coverage during open enrollment to see if their current choice remains the best for next year.

‘12 Days of Christmas’ items now top $100K

By Kevin Begos Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The price of partridges, pear trees and turtle doves has spiked, pushing the cost of every item mentioned in the carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas” above $100,000 for the first time.

Holding mostly steady this year: maids-a-milking, ladies dancing, lords-a-leaping and gold rings.

Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investment for PNC Wealth Management, said the core rate of increase is less than half the 9.2 percent jump last year.

“The story in general is wages are still a very sluggish part of this economy,” said Dunigan, who noted that the price of eight maids-a-milking at minimum wage was $58 — the same as in 2009.

Five gold rings even declined a bit, Dunigan said, to $645, from $650 last year.

But last-minute shoppers who turn to the Internet may be in for some surprises. The core list that costs about $24,000 in stores will come to $39,860 online — a whopping 16.1 percent increase over Internet prices last year. Dunigan said the high cost of shipping live birds explains some of the difference.

Six items didn’t go up in cost this year: French hens, calling birds, gold rings, maids-a-milking, ladies dancing and lords-aleaping. Pipers piping and drummers drumming rose 3 percent. The partridge is still the cheapest item, at $15, and swans the most expensive.

PNC Financial Services Group Inc. checks jewelry stores, dance companies, pet stores and other sources to compile the list. Some of its sources this year include the National Aviary in Pittsburgh and the Philadelphia-based Pennsylvania Ballet Company.

Welcome improvement Recent work on Kansas Highway 10 in Douglas County produced big improvements with a minimum of inconvenience for motorists.

T

o motorists who only occasionally drive Kansas Highway 10 between Lawrence and Johnson County, the work that has been under way for more than a month may look like just a run-of-the-mill repaving project.

But to motorists who regularly drive that route, it is clear the state has made a significant safety improvement to the heavily traveled highway. The $4.3 million project included a 1.5-inch thick layer of new pavement for the highway’s four lanes — the first major repaving in 12 years. The project, however, also paved the shoulders of the road, and added “rumble strips” that alert drivers when they drift out of their driving lane. The Johnson County portion of the highway has had paved shoulders and rumble strips for some time, but the Douglas County stretch has had only gravel shoulders that make a slip of the wheel more harrowing than it should be.

The Kansas Department of Transportation should be thanked for finding a common sense way to address at least some of the safety concerns that exist on K-10. The department also did a fine job of trying to limit the inconvenience of the project to motorists. Much of the work — which is expected to wrap up in the next week or two — was done during overnight hours when traffic was lowest. Even when crews did work during the day, they weren’t on the job from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. to avoid rush hour traffic. Work also was prohibited on Kansas University home football dates.

Otherwise, crews were encouraged to work seven days a week to shorten the duration of the project as much as possible. Workers often were on the job on Saturdays and Sundays battling not only the crisp fall air but the ever-present danger of fast-moving traffic.

Another positive aspect of the project is that the contract was awarded to Perry-based Hamm Construction, which was able to employ a large number of local workers.

All in all, the project was a success on several levels. Hopefully the state and city officials will use the same approach when they tackle future projects in and around the Lawrence area.

On the eastern edge of town, what was fun for some folks was proving a headache for others. Neighbors of the “Outhouse,” a building just east YEARS of Lawrence which was rented out for AGO parties, had been complaining about IN 1986 noise, litter and traffic on some recent nights. Douglas County Administrator Chris McKenzie said that the county commission was looking into ways to address their concerns, including implementing parking restrictions along county road 1500N. The Outhouse was able to operate without approval from the commission due to a loophole in the zoning regulations.

At a recent Lawrence City Commission meeting, the Red Cross Board, represented by Chuck Lanning, had presented plans for building a new room in YEARS the Community Building to be used as AGO a permanent blood collection center.

IN 1971 The city had been without a permanent blood center since August and was currently using a bloodmobile several days a week.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 27, 1911: “More than 1,000 persons gathered on Massachusetts street Saturday afterYEARS noon to see the Kansas-Missouri footAGO ball game played on the gridiron that IN 1911 had been built in front of the JournalWorld office. Never in the history of Lawrence has such a thing been seen. Automobile parties, buggies, wagons, hundreds on foot, everyone who could gather to watch the game played.

They began coming down town every early and they stayed until after the game was over. It was the best thing that Lawrence has ever seen. It will always be remembered.... The field was a complete one, and the device built by C. V. Leigh was so unique that everyone who saw it said he should get a patent on it.

The ball was arranged so that it could be turned and shown by the colors whether it was Kansas’ ball or Missouri’s ball. ... It took a perfect working corps to make the Saturday what it was.... There was a leased wire run from Rollins field and there was no relaying, no waiting at St. Louis, or Kansas City. At the key there was W. C. Fountaine, of the Western Union, and never has a man at the key handled a wire service in the manner that Fountaine did. His copy was accurate, it was speedy, and he took it so that there was no delay in getting the story to the outside field.

Directing the work of the field was Harry Allphin of Lawrence, who megaphoned the story, who directed the action of the mechanical field.”

Gingrich may be Romney’s greatest test HART’S LOCATION, N.H. — This is a small place, the tiniest town in New Hampshire. A river runs through it — the Saco. It is unadorned; weeks ago the leaves left their branches. It is sleepy in late autumn — no tourists in sight, and only one hiker. It may be the perfect place to contemplate what is going on in this state, site of the first presidential primary, at this time (six weeks before the balloting).

This is the report from the hillside: The old rhythms are prevailing. The moose have fled to the higher elevations, as they do every winter. The cascade basin on Mount Webster is dry and will

It is an uphill battle for Gingrich here (New Hampshire), given Romney’s strong organization, his strong identification with the state and his familiarity to voters …”

remain empty till late spring. The lamb’s ears along the paths are a faint green and won’t regain their purplish hue till summer. The sky is a gunmetal gray and soon will darken further.

Romney withstands change All that change, and still Mitt Romney is the strong favorite in the January primary.

The geologists and meteorologists who study New Hampshire’s White Mountains are much like the political scientists who examine the Granite State’s politics. They warn that this is a region of peculiarly swift, sometimes even violent, change.

Evidence of rockslides is everywhere along the trails and mountain highways. The signs on the paths leading to the top of nearby Mount Washington warn of dramatic weather changes. Last Sunday morning, for example, the skies were blue, the breezes gentle, the weather warm down in the Mount Washington Valley. Yet here in Crawford Notch on a shoulder of Mount Willey, the winter winds blew down hard, even heartlessly.

So, too, in the political world are great forces at work. This season they have put forward a series of challenges to the position of the former Massachusetts governor. One after another they have come — first former Gov. Tim Pawlenty, the

hope of the Upper Midwest; then Rep. Michele Bachmann, with her stunning summer straw-vote performance on the Iowa plains; then Gov. Rick Perry, rushing in on a white horse, his Colt .45 misfiring every time he removed it from his leather holster; then businessman Herman Cain, armed with a tax plan based on the numerology of nine that somehow didn’t add up.

Now comes Newt Gingrich, the historian who bent history by ending 40 years of Democratic rule in the House, the master of the past who portrays himself as a futurist, the former House speaker who casts himself as an outsider.

Gingrich no outsider Gingrich may be the pariah of polite society in the capital but he is no outsider, unless you consider consulting contracts with the Chamber of Commerce ($840,000) and Freddie Mac (more than $1.6 million) badges of independence from Washington power centers. Both these groups paid Gingrich handsomely for his advice; in fact, quite a lot of money for quite little advice.

In the 1980s and 1990s Gingrich displayed a remarkable instinct for seeing the weaknesses in men who seemed strong and in institutions that seemed impregnable. He understood what almost no one else did, that the Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill was based on an illusion, which was that the mid-1950s power calculus that made congressional Democrats kings and congressional Republicans vassals would continue forever.

But though Gingrich gave speeches to virtually every forum hungry to rearrange Washington,

his was an inside game — here a nudge at a Democratic potentate, there a vow to overturn an obvious example of Democratic abuse.

It was a relentless, remorseless effort, both in the House chamber, where he accused the Democratic leadership of moral corruption, and in the Republican caucus, where he accused his own leaders of moral weakness.

He described the most revered Republican lawmaker of the age, Sen. Bob Dole, as the tax collector for the welfare state. He portrayed the most beloved Republican figure of the time, House minority leader Robert Michel, as a feckless tool of the Democrats, even as a clueless fool.

Now Gingrich is running as an outsider and playing an outdoor game. His audience isn’t dinnerjacket crowds in banquet halls hired by the National Beer Wholesalers Association or the National Federation of Independent Business, lobby groups with leaders alert enough to understand that Gingrich was onto something in the last years of Democratic rule in the House. His audience is Republican primary voters here in New Hampshire and GOP caucus-goers in Iowa.

Now he is in a statistical fourway tie in Iowa with Cain, Romney and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas — and in third place in New Hampshire, with 11 percent, behind Romney (who stands at 40 percent, according to the latest Bloomberg News poll), and Paul (17 percent). No one else is close.

It is an uphill battle for Gingrich here, given Romney’s strong organization, his strong identification with the state and his familiarity to voters — he was a neighboring governor

from 2003 to 2007 and finished second here in the 2008 presidential primary, less than 6 percentage points behind the winner, Sen. John McCain.

But Gingrich is a shrewd man.

Look at his retinue: His new director of operations here came from the staff of Bachmann, a tea party favorite. His new volunteer coordinator was a coordinator for NH912, a tea party group. The tea party has not mixed a brew here as strong as in other places, but it remains a significant unknown.

Tea party won’t back Romney This, however, is known: Romney will get almost no support from that quarter. Gingrich, the onetime insider, nonetheless has positioned himself to pick up the tea leaves in this state, particularly if the other tea-sipping candidates continue to fade.

And so what if 56 percent of the public, according to the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, places the principal blame for the nation’s troubles on Republicans in Congress — arguably the progeny of Gingrich.

Right now the winds are beginning to pick up, the horizon is darkening. Great changes are coming to New Hampshire. It has been Romney’s remarkable achievement to weather change thus far, so much so that 45 percent of Republicans now believe he’s the most likely Republican nominee, according to the Journal/NBC national poll. But his greatest test is weeks away, and the skies, and maybe Gingrich, maybe someone else, are closing in.

Grading systems To the editor: Why is standards-based (SB) grading used by USD 497? Because global research shows it accurately communicates students’ mastery. Because SB is more meaningful than traditional letter grades that tend to be an accumulation of points instead of telling what the kid really knows.

SB grades students; traditional letters grade tests.

Grades do not motivate students; students are motivated by success. SB tells my kid, me and her teachers exactly what she knows, and what she is still working on. SB is for everyone: smart kids, slow kids, rich kids and struggling kids. Smart kids can zoom ahead, and struggling kids can keep working on their struggles.

Schools around the world and across the U.S. have moved to standards-based grading.

I believe Lawrence should keep pace with the rest of the world. If there are national standards and state standards and the state is testing my kid on standards, then I want to know

how my kid is doing on the standards.

Neighbors, don’t allow one opinion and a petition based on misinformation convince you that standards-based grading is bad. Do a little research. There’s a lot on the Internet including a petition in support of Lawrence public schools and their work on standardsbased grading.

Be informed and let go of the old outdated grading system.

Medicare penalty To the editor: The Medicare Part D late enrollment penalty is a growing issue that needs to be re-examined. Eligible Part D enrollees who have gone 63 days or more without creditable prescription drug coverage are penalized with a fee that is added to their monthly premium. Individuals below age 65 will pay until they turn 65; however, individuals 65 and older will pay this fee for the rest of their lives. According to the 2010 census,

9 percent of the 65-and-older population is living in poverty. When the age bracket with growing medical costs and stagnant incomes — in some cases inadequate incomes — is forced to pay a late enrollment fee for an indefinite amount of time, the system needs to be re-evaluated.

What is the basis for this late enrollment penalty? Are we teaching personal responsibility or the value of planning for the future? If that is the lesson to be taken from this penalty, then I feel as if the individuals affected by this policy may feel an air of condescension. The only acceptable reason for the existence of this penalty is that those who are penalized are making a back-payment to the Medicare pool to which they had not been contributing.

Perhaps we should take a cue from the phasing-out process of the donut hole. There could be a way to phase out the late enrollment penalty for the individual by raising the percentage of the fee and gradually decreasing it, until there is no additional fee.

Feeding homeless requires permit WICHITA (AP) — A Wichita man who feeds the homeless has learned it takes a permit to spread goodwill.

David Hill has been serving hot food every third Saturday for the past two years. The Wichita Eagle reported that he figures he feeds about 300 people per month.

It wasn’t until this fall that an officer asked to see his food safety permit. Hill says he didn’t know he needed one.

Hill has gotten a temporary permit and plans to meet with someone from the city.

Officials say the permit requirement exists to make sure the needy are fed safely.

Hill operates his program through One Spark. The effort started in Wichita and has built a following by encouraging people to pass on what Hill calls “random acts of kindness.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL

MOVING ON

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Zenger has guts to hire Leach You can’t hire a football coach who is suing the network that holds the rights to some of your conference games and is suing a school in your conference.

Why not? You just can’t. Oh, OK, just like you can’t fire a football coach two years into a five-year, $10 million guaranteed contract.

Kansas University athletic director Sheahon Zenger weeks ago determined adhering to the standard way of doing business and giving a coach at least three years to prove himself didn’t apply in this situation. So why should anyone think that Zenger will put his own convenience ahead of a chance to turn the KU football program from a national laughingstock into a winner? He won’t.

Zenger will pursue controversial former Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach unless Leach puts up a hurdle in front of himself that’s just too big to clear. Zenger will pursue him because he knows Leach has the sort of pushy presence that can get recruits to come to Lawrence and has the knowhow to develop them into better players once they get here.

The fact Leach isn’t afraid to say anything about anyone at any time makes him all the more appealing to a football program that has fallen so far so fast since winning the Orange Bowl and going 12-1 four years ago. These days, finding the cure to the common cold presents a far easier challenge than trying to sell season tickets to KU football games. Zenger lands Leach and in an instant those tickets become hotter than it was cold Sunday night at the Lawrence Airport.

So strong is the pull of the name Leach that more than just media members who get paid to turn over every stone shivered standing outside the Lawrence Airport terminal, waiting for the landing of an airplane that originated in Key West, Fla., where Leach lives. It turned out to be another Geraldo Rivera vault-opening. No Leach.

Leach’s “Air Raid” offense turned Texas Tech into such a force it had a 47-33 record in the Big 12 in his 10 seasons. And that record was built playing five games against the stronger South and three against North squads.

Overall, he went 84-43. The new Big 12 schedule that has every team playing the other nine every year won’t scare Leach.

He had a winning record every year at Texas Tech, peaking in 2008 (11-2, 7-1).

Along the way, he offended many. Imagine that, a football coach saying things that upset people. In a popular YouTube video, Leach in a postgame presser after a loss to Texas A&M, referred three times to the players’ “fat little girlfriends.”

“As coaches, we failed to make our coaching points ... more compelling to them than their fat little girlfriends,” Leach said. “Now, their fat little girlfriends have some obvious advantages. For one thing, their fat little girlfriends tell them what they want to hear, which is how great you are and how easy it’s going to be.”

Ouch.

Texas Tech is located closer to a rich football pool of recruits than is Kansas, but Leach would have a couple of advantages recruiting to KU as well. For one, state-of-the art facilities. Also, recruits who visit Kansas will learn that the Jayhawks’ girlfriends tend to be in much better shape than the Red Raiders’ girlfriends.

TURNER GILL OVERSEES WARM-UPS PRIOR TO KANSAS’ SEASON-ENDING LOSS to Missouri on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo. Sunday, Gill was fired.

Despite admiration, Gill out as KU coach

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

His goal was to turn Kansas University football into a dynasty, but the experiment ended with him going down as one of the least successful coaches in school history.

Through it all, KU coach Turner Gill, who was fired Sunday afternoon with three years remaining on the five-year, $10 million contract he signed in

December 2009, functioned as a man of class and integrity. He just couldn’t win football games.

“I admired Turner Gill as a person going in, and I admire him more going out,” first-year KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said several hours after the firing.

Zenger broke the news to Gill at a 4 p.m. meeting in Zenger’s office. The discussion lasted 1520 minutes and featured a coach whom Zenger described as cor-

dial throughout. One other member of Zenger’s senior staff was present in case questions about the contract came up. None did.

As outlined in his contract, Gill, who came to Kansas after a 20-30 stint at Buffalo and guided the Jayhawks to a 5-19 record in two seasons, will receive $6 million within the next 90 days.

Zenger said the money would come from a redistribution of revenue streams — most notably the increased dollars from

the Big 12’s new FOX television contract — and that none of KU’s share of the exit penalty that has yet to be received as a result of Texas A&M and Missouri’s departure to the SEC would be used.

“That money was going to go to whatever our top priority was, and our top priority just became this transition,” Zenger said of the television dollars.

Goodrich, KU women roll

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Just a few minutes after the final horn sounded Sunday afternoon, marking the end of the Kansas University women’s basketball team’s 82-63 victory over Florida Atlantic, junior point guard Angel Goodrich applauded as her Jayhawk teammates, senior Aishah Sutherland and junior Carolyn Davis, were named to the all-tournament team at the conclusion of the three-day Basketball Travelers Classic.

The Jayhawks’ floor general and captain didn’t know she would soon be introduced and brought back onto the Al-

len Fieldhouse floor, too, as the classic’s MVP following her 13-point, 10-assist showing against the Owls (3-4) that clinched the Classic championship for KU. “It means a lot,” Goodrich said of the Goodrich award. “Personally, I was shocked, because at first I thought they just gave an all-tournament team.”

In a game in which Sutherland dominated the glass and cleaned up eight offensive rebounds on her way to 21 points

and 12 boards, Goodrich stood out as well by making plays on both ends of the floor. Not only did her pace and play-making help KU (6-0) shoot 56 percent (35-for-62), but she managed four steals and four defensive rebounds while helping keep the FAU starting backcourt in check.

Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said she was thrilled for Goodrich, a 5-foot-4 junior, because Goodrich is exuding confidence, aggressiveness and leadership.

Broken thumb and all, Big Ben dooms Chiefs

“

They’re a good football team, good defense.”

— Ben Roethlisberger, on the Chiefs

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Ben Roethlisberger joked that the broken thumb on his throwing hand was “still attached” Sunday night. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin thought the injury was a non-issue, and perhaps it was given the way the former Pro Bowl quarterback played.

One thing is certain: The

Chiefs sure wish it had been a bigger problem.

Roethlisberger threw a short touchdown pass to Weslye Saunders in the first half, and the Steelers took advantage of four turnovers by Chiefs quarterback Tyler Palko in a 13-9 victory that allowed them to keep pace with Baltimore atop the loaded AFC North.

“They’re a good football team, good defense,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s tough because it’s a mixed feeling type of thing: You’re happy to get the win, but you’re disappointed the way the offense played. I think that’s what team’s all about. The defense stepped up huge today.”

Roethlisberger finished 21 of

31 for 193 yards and an interception for the Steelers (8-3), whose defense lost All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu to a head injury in the first quarter yet still managed to keep the bumbling Chiefs (4-7) from scoring a touchdown.

Late field goal lifts Broncos past Chargers The Associated Press

Broncos 16, Chargers 13 OAKLAND, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Prater kicked a 37-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in overtime to lift Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos to a 16-13 victory Sunday over the San Diego Chargers, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost six straight games for the first time in 10 years.

The Broncos narrowly avoided the first NFL tie since Cincinnati and Philadelphia ended deadlocked at 13 on Nov. 16, 2008.

Tebow, now 5-1 as the Broncosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starter, led Denver from its 43 after San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Novak was wide right on a 53-yard field goal attempt with 2:31 left in overtime.

Novak made a 53-yarder in the first quarter, a career-best, and was wide right on a 48yard try early in the fourth quarter.

AMERICANS MATT KUCHAR, RIGHT, and Kansas University product Gary Woodland hold their trophy after winning the World Cup golf tournament Sunday at the Mission Hills Blackwater course in Haikou, China.

Raiders 25, Bears 20 OAKLAND, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sebastian Janikowski kicked a team-record six field goals and Oakland took advantage of three interceptions from Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fill-in starter Caleb Hanie.

Carson Palmer threw for 301 yards and Michael Bush iced the game with a touchdown run in the fourth quarter to lead the Raiders (7-4) to their third straight win against a Bears team missing starting quarterback Jay Cutler.

Hanie struggled in his first career start in place of Cutler, who broke his right thumb last week in Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth straight win to put a major obstacle into what had been a promising season for the Bears (7-4).

Woodland helps U.S. end drought at World Cup HAINAN, CHINA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland ended the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 11-year drought in golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup by shooting a 5-under 67 on Sunday to win by two strokes.

The American pair fired six birdies in the alternate-shot final round at Mission Hills Blackstone course to finish at 24-under, 264 overall, notching the 24th U.S. win in the history of the tournament.

English pair Ian Poulter and Justin Rose had the final dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best round with a 63 to tie for second at 22-under with Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Martin Kaymer and Alex Cejka (69).

Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell led by two strokes going into the final round but could only manage an evenpar 72 to finish tied for fourth with Australia, the Netherlands and Scotland.

The American victory was the first since Tiger Woods and David Duval claimed the title 11 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really clicked. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic to win for the U.S.,â&#x20AC;? said Woodland, a former Kansas University product.

Patriots 38, Eagles 20 PHILADELPHIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tom Brady threw for 361 yards and three touchdowns in a game that all but ended the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playoff hopes.

Filling in for the injured Michael Vick for the second straight game, Vince Young couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep the Eagles in contention despite a career-best 400 yards passing. The Eagles fell to 4-7 in a season that began with Super Bowl expectations.

Angry fans made their feelings known about coach Andy Reid, chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire Andy!â&#x20AC;? in the second half.

The defending NFC East champions fell to 1-5 at home and have lost eight of nine at the Linc, including a playoff loss to Green Bay last January.

Down 10-0 early, the AFC East-leading Patriots rallied behind Brady. New England (8-3) scored on five of its next six possessions, excluding a kneel-down at the end of the first half.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Redskins 23, Seahawks 17 SEATTLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rex Grossman found Anthony Armstrong for a 50-yard touchdown and Washington rallied for 16 fourth-quarter points to end a six-game losing streak.

One play after committing a grounding penalty, Grossman stepped up in the pocket on third-and-19 and found Armstrong in the corner of the end zone.

The touchdown pass was Grossmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second of the game and followed rookie Roy Heluâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaping 28-yard TD run that pulled the Redskins (4-7) within 17-14.

Grossman finished 26 of 35 for 314 yards Marshawn Lynch rushed for 111 yards and caught a 20-yard touchdown pass for the Seahawks (4-7).

Syracuse fires aide Fine SYRACUSE, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bernie Fine was fired Sunday by Syracuse University after a third man accused the assistant basketball coach of molesting him nine years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the direction of Chancellor Cantor, Bernie Fineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment with Syracuse University has been terminated, effective immediately,â&#x20AC;? Kevin Quinn, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior vice president for public affairs, said in a statement.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Four coaches fired Sunday A historic late-season collapse ended Ron Zookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure at Illinois after seven seasons.

Zook was among four coaches ousted on what turned out to be college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Sunday.

Memphis fired Larry Porter after two seasons, UAB coach Neil Callaway was pushed into resignation after five seasons with the Blazers, and Kansas canned Turner Gill after two years.

In addition, Arizona State was working on Dennis Ericksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure as Sun Devils coach.

Zook, the former Florida coach, was done in by a season-ending six-game losing streak after a 6-0 start by Illinois.

According to STATS, LLC, the Illini are the first FBS team to open the regular-season with six straight wins, and close it with six losses in a row.

Panthers 27, Colts 19 INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cam Newton threw for 208 yards and ran for one score and DeAngelo Williams scored twice Sunday to help the Carolina Panthers hold off the winless Indianapolis Colts 27-19.

The Panthers (3-8) ended a 12-game road losing streak by winning outside Charlotte, N.C., for the first time since Dec. 27, 2009 when they beat the New York Giants.

Newton was 20 of 27 and carried nine times for 53 yards. Williams ran 15 times for 69 yards including the game-sealing score â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 2-yard TD run with 10:23 left in the game.

The Colts dropped to 0-11 for the first time since 1986 and have lost six home games in a season for the sixth time in the Indianapolis era.

Falcons 24, Vikings 14 ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Ryan tossed three touchdown passes and Atlanta held on again.

The Falcons (7-4) were up 17-0 at halftime after allowing just 97 yards. But, mimicking the previous weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closer-thannecessary victory over Tennessee, they let Minnesota (2-9) back in the game.

Toby Gerhart, filling in for injured Adrian Peterson, scored from the 1 late in the third quarter. Then, after Dominique Franks inadvertently touched a punt the Falcons were trying to avoid to set up a Vikings recovery, Christian Ponder went to Percy Harvin for a 39-yard touchdown pass on fourth-and-13 to make it 17-14.

But Ryan responded with a 3-yard scoring pass to backup Michael Palmer, and the Falcons held on downs after Harvinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 104yard kickoff return to the Atlanta 3.

Texans 20, Jaguars 13 JACKSONVILLE, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Leinart injured his throwing shoulder, overshadowing Houstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory against the offensively inept Jaguars.

Arian Foster ran for 65 yards and a score, Leinart delivered a perfect touchdown pass to Joel Dreessen before leaving the game and the Texans (8-3) sacked Blaine Gabbert six times. It was good enough for their fifth consecutive win, which moved Houston a little closer to clinching the AFC South.

But Leinartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoulder could be a serious setback.

Jets 28, Bills 24 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mark Sanchez threw four touchdown passes, including the winning score to Santonio Holmes with just over a minute remaining.

With the Jets trailing 24-21 and facing a third-and-11 from the Bills 36, Sanchez connected with Plaxico Burress, who made an impressive one-handed grab for the first down. Sanchez quickly ran a quarterback sneak and then, on the next play, rolled out to his right to buy some time and found Holmes alone in the right corner of the end zone to give the Jets the lead with 1:01 left.

Cardinals 23, Rams 20 ST. LOUIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Patrick Peterson tied the NFL record with his fourth punt return for a touchdown this season, Beanie Wells set a franchise mark with 228 yards rushing, and Arizona won its seventh in a row in St. Louis.

Wells averaged 8.4 yards per carry on a career day that included gains of 71 and 53 yards. The latter set up Jay Feelyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goahead 22-yard field goal with 4:12 remaining. Rookie Sam Acho also had a career day on defense with two sacks and a fumble recovery for Arizona (4-7), which did enough to overcome another awful outing by John Skelton, who threw two interceptions.

Titans 23, Buccaneers 17 NASHVILLE, TENN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chris Johnson ran for a season-high 190 yards, and Matt Hasselbeck threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Damian Williams on fourth-and-2 with 3:01 left.

The Titans (6-5) forced five turnovers and overcame four turnovers of their own.

The Bucs outscored them 14-3 off mistakes even though Tennessee got the ball three times on Tampa Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of the field.

But the Titans got the ninth and final turnover of the game when rookie linebacker Colin McCarthy intercepted Josh Freeman with 2:19 left.

Bengals 23, Browns 20 CINCINNATI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A.J. Green made a leaping catch for a 51-yard gain in the final minute, setting up a field goal that rallied Cincinnati.

The surprising Bengals (7-4) stayed right behind Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the AFC North with another second-half comeback forged by their rookie big-play combination.

For the second time in three games, a botched snap cost Cleveland a chance to take a late lead.

As for moving forward with a new staff, that, too, will come from existing university dollars.

“We will tighten our belts, and I will do fundraising to support the next staff,” Zenger said.

In addition to dismissing Gill, Zenger also removed the KU football program’s strength and conditioning staff on Sunday. KU’s strength and conditioning program had been under fire for poor performance throughout Gill’s tenure, and Zenger, a former football coach, said a solid strength staff was crucial to a football program’s success.

“It all begins in the weight room,” Zenger said. “The tone gets set there. The discipline gets set there. Everything starts in the weight room.”

One of Gill’s strength coaches, former KU player Joe Vaughn, told the JournalWorld on Sunday night that even though he was disappointed about the decision, he understood that college athletics was a business.

“I’m happy my alma mater gave me this opportunity,” Vaughn said. “I’ll always love KU, no matter what.”

The nine assistant coaches who worked for Gill, at least

for now, have been retained.

Each has 18 months remaining on his contract, and their place at Kansas figures to be re-evaluated by KU’s new head coach. Many of them will continue to work for, recruit for and be paid by KU in the coming weeks.

Running backs coach and recruiting coordinator Reggie Mitchell has been appointed as KU’s interim head coach, and beginning today the Jayhawks will move ahead with heavy hearts and a new focus.

“Right now, I can’t even explain it to you,” said sophomore linebacker Darius Willis, who also played for Gill for one season at Buffalo.

“I’m all over the place right now. The dudes that want to be leaders on this team are going to have to step up and just keep us together. We can’t lose each other. We lost a great coach, but we gotta stick together, because if we don’t, it’s going to get a whole lot worse.”

Gill and his coaching staff met with players in small groups for about two hours Sunday evening.

Many emerged from the Anderson Family Football Complex with tears in their eyes and spoke to reporters about being surprised and disappointed by their head coach’s firing. Others elected not to talk. Gill was a member of the latter group.

After the final players exited the facility, Gill left

level right now, and that’s contagious.”

The coach said the two of them had a discussion this past spring in which Goodrich told Henrickson she wanted to take control of the team as a junior. Goodrich said she feels like she has come a long way since her freshman and sophomore seasons, when she had to deal with injuries and didn’t feel as though she was in a position to speak up and lead Kansas.

“This year, being one of the oldest veterans and seeing we had five freshmen coming in,” Goodrich said, “I wanted to be the one to step up and be a more vocal leader.”

Henrickson was pleased one of her other captains, Davis, was able to play in all three KU victories at the Classic despite still not being totally recovered from a stress fracture in her right foot. The 6-foot-3 forward only played four second-half minutes against FAU, but finished with 12 points, three rebounds and a pair of blocks, despite the fact she hasn’t practiced the past few weeks due to her injury.

That led Henrickson to joke players will soon be advocating for no one practicing: “Why do we have practice, coach? Look at Carolyn.”

At 7 p.m. Thursday, the Jayhawks will play host to SMU.

The Chiefs nearly did on their final possession, marching across midfield to the 37. That’s when Palko dropped back and looked for Dwayne Bowe, but his throw was high and behind him, and Keenan Lewis hauled in the interception with 29 seconds left to seal the win.

through the back door without saying a word. His wife, Gayle, and their youngest daughter, Margaux, pulled their car around back to pick Gill up and he walked past reporters without talking.

Many players said Gill remained positive even while meeting with them for the last time.

During his short time in Lawrence, Gill completely changed the culture of Kansas football. The answer to the question of whether he changed it for better or worse was what ultimately led to his removal.

The Gill Era started on an embarrassing note with a loss to FCS opponent North Dakota State. Gill’s team followed that up with a spirited upset of No. 15 Georgia Tech, but no momentum from that performance carried into the rest of his reign. Gill’s teams too often looked unorganized, undisciplined, unable to adjust and uncompetitive.

Overall, his teams lost by 30 points or more 10 times, including losses this season by scores of 66-24 (Georgia Tech), 70-28 (Oklahoma State), 59-21 (Kansas State), 43-0 Texas and 61-7 (Texas A&M).

Gill’s lone Big 12 victory, a surprise, 52-45 comeback win, came at home against Colorado, Nov. 6, 2010.

Again, the momentum of a comeback from a 28-point, fourth-quarter deficit didn’t carry into the next week,

despite it being the largest comeback in KU history.

So now, for the second time in 24 months, KU turns its attention to another coaching search. There’s a new man heading up the search this time around, Zenger, but, thanks to the realignment madness that has captivated college athletics during the past two summers, there also are new stakes.

Sources have told the Journal-World that the search will move quickly, as Zenger essentially has had the past several weeks to map out a game plan for identifying a successor to Gill.

“I have no specific timetable,” Zenger said. “Naturally I would like to have a new coach on board as soon as possible.”

Early signs of coachingsearch mania hit Lawrence late Sunday night, when rumors of a plane carrying former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach began to surface. Many reporters and even a few fans flocked to the Lawrence Municipal Airport to await the plane from Key West, Fla., near where Leach keeps a home. When the plane parked near the terminal and the door flew open at 9:56 p.m., a Lawrence family returning from vacation stepped out, somewhat surprised by the welcoming.

“Sorry. We know who you thought it was,” the father said with a laugh.

And so it begins.

and protect deep,” Lewis said. “When the ball came out of the quarterback’s hand, I saw that Bowe had already made his move. That’s when I knew I could make a play.”

Palko, making his second consecutive start in place of the injured Matt Cassel, also fumbled a snap and threw interceptions to Ike Taylor and Ryan Mundy on consecutive passes in the first half.

Palko fared little better than he did last week against New England, when he tossed three picks in his first NFL start. He finished 18 of 28 for 167 yards in what was likely his last chance.

The Chiefs claimed former Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton off waivers Wednesday with the intention of having him compete with Palko for the starting job. Orton didn’t arrive in town until Friday, though, and he was inactive Sunday night after participating in only one practice.

“He’ll have a much better chance this week to compete,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said, “and like I said, Tyler is the starter, but whatever position we say, if someone gives us a better chance to win, that’s the guideline we generally follow.”

a stand, and now the girl is posting comments about me, saying that I’m interfering with their relationship. How do I deal with this? — Not on My Watch Dear Not: Teenagers push parents in order to see what the boundaries are. Having no limits creates confusion and insecurity. Embrace your inner ogre. The world can be a dangerous place, and 15-year-olds do not have the best judgment. The Internet makes it likely that your grandson may regret some of what is floating around that he cannot control. It is your job to protect him.

Yes, you should have access to his Facebook page (although we don’t recommend posting on it), and it’s fine to limit his phone privileges because texting costs money.

Fans round up best of ‘Top Gear’ Just how does a vintage Volkswagen Beetle compete with a Porsche sports car in a one-mile drag race on the desert flats? You’d have to be a “Top Gear” fan to know. The race is probably best described as “drag and drop,” since it pits a driver in a Porsche against a Beetle hoisted aloft by helicopter and dropped directly onto the finish line. Can horsepower beat gravity? I’ll never tell. ‘‘Top Gear Top 40” (7 p.m. and 8 p.m., BBC America) counts down the best stunts and moments, including the infamous Porsche/ Beetle contest.

This eight-episode limited series is based on a poll of faithful “Gear” viewers who chose some of the greatest burnt-rubber thrills from around the globe, from an effort to race amphibious cars across London to the attempt to turn a modest little economy car into a space shuttle.

O A timely episode of “The Closer” (8 p.m., TNT) concerns a high school football coach accused of getting a little too close to his athletes. Actually, it begins with the violent murder of an ambitious high school principal. The coach’s extracurricular activities come to light only after he becomes a person of interest.

Viewers, like Brenda, may jump to immediate conclusions, but the story turns out to be more than meets the eye.

O Desperate hunters of a certain age scour the malls and schoolyards of America in search of fresh blood. Are they vampires? No, they’re the stars of “Scouted” (9 p.m., E!), a new reality show that chronicles the discovery process that leads to new talent for the fashion runways. In essence, it’s “America’s Next Top Model” turned upside down, a show where the grown-ups and professionals go in search of the kids.

And, in avoiding the high-strung atmosphere of a fashion dormitory, “Scouted” examines the fresh-faced beauties on their own turf. In episode one we meet a would-be mannequin with an overbearing mother who might impede her career, while another natural beauty’s quest for stardom proceeds against the backdrop of her father’s cancer diagnosis.

Tonight’s other highlights O The top three perform on “The SingOff” (7 p.m., NBC).

O Taylor and Mira rumble in the jungle on “Terra Nova” (7 p.m., Fox).

O Boris Karloff narrates the 1966 holiday favorite “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (7 p.m., ABC).

O A green ogre and his friends celebrate the holidays in the 2007 special “Shrek the Halls” (7:30 p.m., ABC).

O A prosecutor’s paranoia affects his health on “House” (8 p.m., Fox).

O Anthony Bourdain shares tips on making the most of a short stay in New York on “The Layover” (8 p.m., Travel).

O George pays for Emily’s wedding on “Bored to Death” (8 p.m., HBO).

O Amy is reported to human resources on “Enlightened” (8:30 p.m., HBO).

O Pirates ruin a three-hour tour on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS).

O A killer in a costume kills a con on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

importantly, talk to your grandson about your concerns, especially about this girl’s aggressive behavior, which is all about her social status, without any concern for him.

Dear Annie: It soon will be Christmas. We have four wonderful grandsons in another state, but we are tired of not receiving thank-you notes for gifts.

Dear Annie: My husband and I are raising our two teenage grandchildren. Our grandson is 15 and recently started going out with a girl.

They attend the same school and are Facebook friends. We don’t know this girl, but after their first outing to a mall, she posted pictures of them kissing. The following weekend, they went to the movies, and she posted another kissing picture. She posts nonstop on his page about how he’s made her life better, and she texts him constantly.

We think this is rather disrespectful on both their parts: hers for thinking these are acceptable public displays, and his for thinking we wouldn’t care. Our grandson says it’s unreasonable for us to limit his phone and text usage with this girl. The other unspeakable thing, apparently, is that we have access to his Facebook account. We were told we’re old-fashioned because we want to meet the girl and her parents. This girl’s parents don’t know or care what she posts.

Are we true dinosaurs to think there should be limits for teens and that parents should know what their kids are doing on the Internet?

What is reasonable in today’s world? We trust our grandson, but we also remember what it was like for us at that age, and we didn’t have 24/7 access. I’ve become the evil ogre because I have taken

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

KU’s next coach is on this page (or not) tions about improper treatment of players. Leavitt denied any wrong-doing — which allegedly included physical contact — but still was forced to leave the he helped build. Is it too soon for Jayhawk The last time the Kansas University foot- program Nation to bring in a coach from the Mangino mold?

By Matt Tait

mtait@ljworld.com

ball program pushed a nice-guy head coach out the door after just two seasons, the university followed it up by hiring a hard-nosed disciplinarian to take his place.

That was the story when Bob Valesente — 4-17 overall, 0-13-1 in the Big Eight from 198687 — was given his walking papers following the 1987 season and Glen Mason was brought in to replace him.

With history repeating itself on the front end of that equation — Turner Gill was fired on Sunday after going 5-19 overall and 1-16 in Big 12 play during his two seasons in Lawrence — the question on everybody’s mind now is what direction the Jayhawks will take in finding Gill’s replacement.

There are plenty of options, from coast to Larry Fedora, 49, coast, and the list figures to be full of both University of Southern Miss head coach nice guys and intense leaders. The following Record at school: 31-19 in 4 seasons (4 bowl apis how the Journal-World sees the search un- pearances) folding: Current salary: $704,500 per year

Record at school: 34-16 in 4 seasons (3 bowl appearances) Current salary: $1.2 million per year Why it makes sense: Has made a huge national splash in just his fourth season at Houston. After going 8-5 in 2008 and 10-4 in 2009, Sumlin has the eighth-ranked Cougars at 12-0 this season.

Sumlin is another coach who already has experience in the Big 12 Conference and obviously has huge Texas connections.

Sumlin coached under Bob Stoops at Oklahoma from 2003-07. He also coached under R.C. Slocum at Texas A&M in 2001 and 2002. With record-setting QB Case Keenun set to graduate after this season, could Sumlin be looking to move on, too?

Why it might not happen: He’s happy at Houston, which will do everything it can to keep him but could be battling several big-time BCS schools along the way. Maybe Sumlin wants his jump from Houston to be a bigger one?

Why it makes sense: He’s known as an excellent recruiter — especially in Texas, where he was a high school coach — and has Big 12 ties from his Troy Calhoun, 45, days as an offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State. Air Force Academy head coach Also served as offensive coordinator at Florida from Record at school: 39-23 in 5 seasons (4 bowl 2002-04. appearances) Why it might not happen: Is his name sexy Current salary: $889,095 per year enough to please the big-time donors who helped Why it makes sense: Experience all over the board facilitate the firing of Gill by coming up with private from Ohio and Air bucks? Even if it is, Fedora looks like a candidate at Force to Wake Forest Ole Miss, which would probably be an easier transiand the NFL. tion.

Offensive-minded

The Favorite

Mike Leach, 50, former head coach at Texas Tech University

Record at school: 84-43 in 10 seasons. (10 bowl appearances) Current salary: Not available. Made $2.7 million at Texas Tech.

Why it makes sense: The biggest name on the block would bring instant on-the-field credibility to the program, restore faith and return excitement to a fan base that has checked out. Offensive guru would inherit a handful of young athletes and, no doubt, bring more with him, perhaps even a bigtime quarterback. As for his interest in KU, it seems like the guy would love a shot to stick it to Tech and the rest of the Big 12.

Why it might not happen: Leach would be a great catch for any program, but questions about his character, the way he conducted himself at Texas Tech and whether he learned anything from his uncerimonious fall from grace likely would linger for years no matter how well he did in the win column.

In addition, he’s tied up with lawsuits against ESPN and Texas Tech.

The Strong Contenders

Mark Stoops, 44, Florida State defensive coordinator

Record at school: N/A Current salary: Not Available. Made $283,914 in final year as Arizona DC (2008).

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

Why it might not happen: A lack of head coaching experience could hurt Stoops in this case, as the Jayhawks need a proven leader to replace Gill.

The Up-and-Comers

Jim Leavitt, 54, former head coach at the University of South Florida

Record at school: 94-57 in 13 seasons (5 bowl appearances) Current salary: Not available. Made $1.6 million at USF. Why it makes sense: A defensive-minded coach with Midwest ties who built USF from the ground up and elevated the program to a No. 2 national ranking at one point during the 2007 season.

Currently coaching linebackers for the San Francisco 49ers, Leavitt went to five bowl games in 13 seasons at USF and won fewer than six games just twice. Hired KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger to work as his recruiting coordinator at South Florida (1996) and also worked with former KU coach Mark Mangino at K-State (1991-95) Why it might not happen: Leavitt, like Mangino, was forced to leave South Florida because of allega-

Lawrence

Kevin Sumlin, 47, University of Houston head coach

Lawrence

Record at school: 70-6 in 6 seasons (6 bowl appearances, 2 BCS) Current salary: $1.525 million per year.

Why it makes sense: When you throw in his time as an assistant coach, Petersen boasts an unbelievable track record of success. The program did not miss a beat when he took over, and it’s a lot easier to envision Petersen knocking down the BCS door at a Big 12 school than at Boise, where anything short of perfection doesn’t get it done.

Why it might not happen: After the way former Boise State coach Dan Hawkins fell on his face at Colorado, it’s easy to see why other schools could be gun-shy about taking another hot name from Idaho.

Lawrence

Lawrence

Kirby Smart, 35, Alabama defensive coordinator

Record at school: N/A Current salary: $750,000 per year Why it makes sense: Smart is the architect behind one of the most dominant defenses of the last decade.

Why it might not happen: For starters, Smart is just 35, which seems a little young to take over this type of situation.

The Former Head Coaches

coach who knows how to utilize multiple running backs, a position that should be a strength at Kansas for at least the next few years.

Named the Mountain West coach of the year in 2007 and known for creative offensive game plans.

Why it might not happen: His is not the biggest name of the bunch, and he seems to be pretty Phillip Fulmer, 61, former University of happy at Air Force, where he starred as a quarterback during his playing days and began his coaching Tennessee head coach Record at school: 152-52 in 17 seasons at Tencareer under the legendary Fisher DeBerry. nessee (15 bowl appearances) Current salary: Not Available.

Why it makes sense: Fulmer, 61, was forced out at Tennessee after an uncharacteristic 5-7 record in 2008. All he did before that was win 10 games in ’07, nine games in ’06 and 10 in 2002 and 2003, as well. Oh, he also guided the Vols to the 1998 national championship. Although the Tennessee native has spent all but four years of his coaching life in his home state, the four years away were in Kansas at Wichita State.

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

Dave Doeren, 39, Northern Illinois University head coach

Record at school: 8-3 in 1 season (1 bowl appearance) Current salary: $371,000 per year Why it makes sense: Doeren spent time at KU under Mangino and grew up in Kansas City. Was a huge player in recruiting a good chunk of KU’s 2007-08 Orange Bowl team and also has been praised by many as one of the bright, young defensive minds in the game based on his highly successful stint as Wisconsin.

Why it might not happen: Gill beat Doeren earlier this season (45-42 in Lawrence), and that probably won’t sit well with KU fans. In addition, he’s still in his first year at NIU and might not be ready to move again.

Attorney for Petitioner _______

Record at school: 41-50 in 7-plus seasons (3 bowl appearances) Current salary: $1.465 million in final season at Arizona.

Why it makes sense: Look at the last name and consider the area he would be recruiting. Getting back into the Big 12 and having the chance to prove himself against his brother could be appealing. Stoops’ defensive pedigree would be welcomed at KU. Why it might not happen: Although a head coaching job in the Big 12 might be appealing, Stoops could be more interested in a less stressful role back on Bob’s staff at OU or somewhere else.

Don’t count out the idea of him becoming KU’s next defensive coordinator.
