At the Kansas State Fair, thousands of people walked past the Geary County Convention & Visitors booth, taking a peep at what the heart of the Flint Hills had to offer. Basically were ambassadors for the community, so were talking to people, answering questions and getting them excited about our area, Director Connie Hall said. Some of those visitors took time to
fill out surveys and CVB officials are pleased with the outcome. The majority of people from the state fair, who are from all over Kansas, have great things to say about Junction City, Assistant Director Rick Dykstra said. As a result, the CVB is working to put together a discount program to attract more people to the area. Many responders said they would consider visiting if discounts were offered for lodging, meals and activities. Hall said they have to examine the
idea and find businesses willing to participate. Theyre more apt to go to a place if they have discounts, Hall said. During the event, CVB officials passed out 200 surveys and received a 36 percent response from participants. Different surveys were distributed for people who visited and those who have not. The majority of the responses were positive. Some of them were about Junction Citys diversity, growth and Please see CVB, 8A

Dad recalls growing understanding of autism

B Y JOE RObEr TSON
The Kansas City Star

KANSAS CITY Forty years ago, within an hour past midnight on Jan. 1, Danny Hogan entered the world as the first baby of Kansas Citys new year. I just hope he doesnt see hard times, his mother told The Stars reporter and photographer who came to their bedside. In the first evening paper of 1974, the baby lifting his eyes to see the faces of his parents gave no clue to what was in store for his life. A future quarterback? his father, Tom Hogan, wondered aloud. They couldnt know that Danny would be autistic, The Kansas City Star reported. This was the 1970s. Autism a spectrum of disorders with a range of effects on brain development was poorly understood and rarely diagnosed. Many child development specialists still blamed what had been labeled refrigerator mothers or refrigerator parents for failing to nurture the emotional and verbal skills missing in many autistic children. Awareness of the disorders true genetic and neurological causes was only beginning to emerge. So Tom Hogan was peering into a barren world on the day, when Danny was 2, that Tom realized something was wrong. He was babysitting a child near the same age as Danny, and he saw a vast difference in their abilities to communicate and interact. He didnt understand it and he didnt know where he could turn for help. They walked alone out in the woods a couple of days later, Tom Hogan said. And he determined then that he would accept whatever life was preparing to deal them.

Commissioners meet with lawmakers to discuss upcoming issues

B Y C HASE JOrDAN
c.jordan@thedailyunion.net
Legislators are meeting in Topeka soon to make crucial decisions for Kansans, and cutbacks continues to be an issue. The Geary County Commission met with local representatives and senators to discuss matters such as tax incentives. That dialogue back and forth help me represent Geary County better in Topeka, Sen. Jeff Longbine (R-Emporia) said. I always enjoy the opportunity to do that. Others in attendance included Rep. Allan Rothlisberg (R-Grandview Plaza), Sen. Tom Hawk (D-Manhattan) and Rep. Tom Moxley (R-Council Grove). Going into the session,
Longbine said the budget and income will be a challenge for the state. How are we going to fund government at a proper level and provide services that the citizens of Kansas expect us to do? Longbine said. During the meeting, Longbine presented the combined impact of two tax incentive bills, which would result in the state losing about $495 million in revenue. According to projections presented by Moxley, fiscal year 2014 begins with $680 million. Expected revenue total $5.85 billion, but approved spending is about $5.96 billion. That leaves a balance of $573 million to begin fiscal year 2015. For 2015, the preliminary outlook for the budget is $6.12 billion and if that
The biggest issue on the state level is that were running budget deficits for the first time in a number of years.

expenditure amount is unchanged, the state would be spending $203 million more than collected in revenue. The ending balance would drop to $370 million. The biggest issue on the state level is that were running budget deficits for the first time in a number of years, Moxley said. He said thats a result of reductions to income tax. Income tax cuts went largely to the high income folks and the consequence
of that has been major shortfalls, Moxley said. Longbine said most of their concerns revolves around their budget and lack of funding for services. We either cut back in those services or we expect the county to do more and that puts tremendous pressure on the county commissions, Longbine said about county officials picking up services or diverting resources. Commission Chair Ben Bennett agreed on the issue. Each year we seem to find that there more and more dollars being cut, so theres less money to spend at the local level, Bennett said. Cuts in mental health funding was another topic of concern. Thats very troublesome to the county and well do
whatever we can to avoid that kind of situation moving forward, Longbine said. Commissioner Florence Whitebread believes its the state responsibility to fund mental health facilities. Its a tragic situation, Whitebread said about the cuts. Another legislative issue is the push to restrict people from lobbying if theyre employed by organizations if they use tax money. One example of this is the Kansas Association of Counties. Hawk questioned the possible consequences of this matter. How do we protect the interest of the local taxpayer? he said. Some of the other topics discussed Kansas Department of Transportation projects and education funding.

Glitch-plagued rollout of health care tops 2013 stories

By The Associated Press
NEW YORK The glitchplagued rollout of President Barack Obamas health care overhaul was the top news story of 2013, followed by the Boston Marathon bombing and the dramatic papal changeover at the Vatican, according to The Associated Press annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors. The saga of Obamacare as the Affordable Care Act is widely known received 45 first-place votes out of the 144 ballots cast for the top 10 stories. The marathon bombing received 29 first-place votes and the papal transition 21. Other strong contenders were the bitter partisan conflict in Congress and the leaks about National Security Agency surveillance by former NSA analyst Edward Snowden. Last year, the top story was the massacre of 26 children and staff at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. That result came after a rare decision by the AP to re-conduct the voting; the initial round of balloting had ended Dec. 13, a day before the Newtown shooting, with the 2012 election at the top. The first AP top-stories poll was conducted in 1936, when editors chose the abdication of Britains King Edward VIII. Here are 2013s top 10 stories, in order: The White House had hoped the Oct. 1 launch of open enrollment would be a showcase for the upside of Obamas much-debated overhaul. Instead, the website became a symbol of dysfunction, providing Republicans and late-night comics with ammunition, and worrying the presidents Democratic allies. The site gradually improved, but a wave of cancellation notices from insurers undercut Obamas oft-repeated promise that people who liked their existing coverage could keep it.
In seconds, a scene of celebration transformed into one of carnage, as two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon in April. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured, including at least 16 who lost limbs. Authorities soon identified two suspects 26-yearold Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died in a shootout with police, and his brother, Dzhokhar, 20, who faces multiple charges, including 17 that carry a possible death penalty. Though jolted by the bombings and a subsequent lockdown, the city rallied under the slogan Boston Strong. Pope Benedict XVI stunned Catholics around the world with his announcement in February that he would resign. The cardinal elected to succeed him, soon known as Pope Francis, proceeded to captivate many Catholics and non-Catholics alike with a new tone of openness, modesty and tolerance. Without challenging core church doctrine, he suggested it was time to rethink policy on divorce, focus more on serving the poor, and devote less rhetoric to condemnations of gay mar-

Vatican changeover
Opinion polls showed Congress with historically low approval ratings, and the key reason was seemingly intractable partisan conflict. Among the consequences were the harsh automatic spending curbs known as sequestration, the partial shutdown of the government in October, and bitterness in Senate after the Democrats used their majority to reduce the Republicans ability to stall presidential nominations via filibusters. The ripple effect continues, seven months after the world learned of Edward Snowden. The former NSA analyst leaked vast troves of secret documents detailing NSA surveillance operations, including programs that collected Americans phone records and eavesdropped on allied leaders. After a stay in Hong

Kong, Snowden spent a month in Moscows airport before obtaining asylum in Russia. The leaks have roiled diplomacy, triggered lawsuits and calls for reform, and prompted warnings that terrorists could benefit from the disclosures. Capping decades of activism, the gay-rights movement won a monumental victory in June in the form of two Supreme Court decisions. One cleared the way for ending a ban on same-sex marriages in California, the most populous state. The other struck down a 1996 law passed by Congress that banned federal recognition of same-sex marriages. In subsequent months, Hawaii, Illinois and New Mexico boosted the number of states allowing gay marriage to 17. A freedom fighter, a political prisoner, a states-

man revered for preaching reconciliation in a nation torn by racial strife. Nelson Mandela was all that and more the icon of the anti-apartheid movement and South Africas first black president. With his death at the age of 95, his compatriots, world leaders and countless other admirers mourned the loss of a one-of-a-kind hero. There were dire warnings beforehand, but the toll wreaked by Typhoon Haiyan was still stunning in its scope after it struck on Nov. 8. More than 6,000
people died; hundreds more remain missing. The death toll mounted inexorably, past 120,000, as Syrias nearly 3-year-old civil warfare raged on with no signs of resolution. The government of Bashar Assad did agree to eliminate its chemical weapons, but prospects for peace talks were complicated by infighting among anti-government rebels. Nearly 9 million Syrians have been uprooted from their homes, with many of them seeking refuge abroad.

Right on for 2013, predictions for 2014 A
From the Editor
nother year has come and gone. Although I have documented in print my predictions for years, I almost forgot this time around. So, once again, its time for me to tell you all what I think will happen next year. Hold on. First, lets see how I did on my predictions made at the end of 2012. 2013 Prediction No. 1 Junction City will see some retail and business growth in 2013. Somethings in the works for a development at the intersection of Washington and Chestnut and I believe we will know early in 2013 what to expect there. I also predict work will start on that development and we will see completed buildings at that location later in 2013. What happened Looks like I was right on target on that one. We have seen development, including a Starbucks, Qdoba, USAA and likely the biggest coup, CVS Pharmacy at the corner of Chestnut and Washington. 2013 Prediction No. 2 The much discussed fiscal cliff will drag the country into 2013. The national debt and deficit will become higher on the radar for most people as politicians in WashL ISA ington continue their inability to S EISER work through possible long-term solutions. What happened All that occurred and some things such as Fort Riley furloughs and a government shutdown added to the pain, especially in this area. 2013 Prediction No. 3 Kansas Sate University, behind the efforts of Bill Snyder and Collin Klein will beat a more talented Oregon squad on Jan. 3 in the Fiesta Bowl. The Wildcats over the Ducks, 45-41. What happened Ugh. I am sorry all you K-State fans. I was really rooting for the Wildcats that night. But, it wasnt meant to be. Now that we have gone through my 2013 successes and failures, its time to reveal my 2014 predictions. 2014 Prediction No. 1 Locally, the talk for months has been about casino legislation going to committee and being discussed at the state level. Approval would allow a casino to be built in this area, as the fifth Kansas casino. Much to my disappointment, I dont believe the bill will get out of committee level in February. Despite efforts locally, it will die again, this time in 2014. 2014 Prediction No. 2 Already at a standstill, Congress and the president will get virtually nothing done in 2014. Actually, more will go back to the way it was a few years back, including Obamacare being put on hold. 2014 Prediction No. 3 Always a sports prediction ... sadly the Kansas City Chiefs and my Green Bay Packers will not impact the NFL playoffs in the coming weeks. Both will fall in the Wildcard games this weekend. My hope for a Chiefs/ Packers rematch of Super Bowl I will end very soon. So you all know, Im not off the hook on these predictions. One year from now, we will revisit my successes and/or failures. I will fully hold myself accountable for these predictions. Everyone, enjoy, and lets have a fabulous 2014.
Moderation and balance

B Y JOHN S CHLAGECK
Kansas Farm Bureau
ts the New Year and like so many, I have vowed to shed those extra pounds. Losing weight is no easy task. Expectations often exceed the will to lose this weight gradually during an extended period of time. Today, there are as many diets out there as there are people who attempt to stick to them. What it really boils down to is watching what we eat, caloric intake, and exercise. If we have the discipline to do that, each of us can meet our goals. Still, when it comes to exercise and diet, myths are as plentiful as the calories in a piece of pecan pie one of my favorites by the way. To clear up some of these misconceptions, I visited with a nutrition specialist during the holidays to set the record straight or at least point me in the right direction. One common myth and core ingredient in several popular diets involves eating extra protein to build strong muscles and rev up your metabolism. Today, most Americans, whether they are weekend warriors (athletes) or not, take in plenty of protein from a normal diet. Protein powders and amino acid supplements are unnecessary. That is unless you want to bulk up and look like the former governor of California whose most famous movie line was, Ill be back. The only healthy and safe way to
increase the size and strength of muscles is to work out. Too much protein, if not burned as energy, turns to body fat. Another myth would have us believe that sugary foods provide quick energy. While a candy bar, energy bar or soft drink before exercising may trigger an insulin response, that causes a rapid peak and then fall of blood sugar. The most efficient source of energy comes from complex carbohydrates. That includes whole-grain breads and cereals, pasta, fresh fruits and vegetables. So what about the popular diets that suggest staying away from carbs altogether? Not such a good idea. The real key to a healthy diet is moderation and balance. It also includes a diverse, complete grouping of foods. As for the so-called energy drinks and I wont mention even one of those flooding the convenience and supermarket shelves, most of these are caffeine, speed or some other stimulant. And we all know that speed kills, maims or throws your body out of whack. Vitamins and minerals do not contain energy. However, some vitamins help the body use energy. Unless there is a deficiency, supplements will not help performance. Taking unneeded supplement may do more harm than good. Too much vitamin A or D can lead to side effects such as liver damage over time. Another myth suggests thirst is a
good signal its time to take fluid. Wrong. Vigorous exercise can blunt the bodys thirst mechanism. Drinking plenty of liquids, especially water, is important during exercise to prevent dehydration. For every pound of weight we lose through sweating, we need to drink two cups of water, whether we are thirsty or not. The last myth, but one we cannot forget, suggests that milk causes cottonmouth. Nervousness and fluid loss, not milk, make the mouth feel dry before a game, match or other competition. Drinking milk, water or other fluids before exercising is essential. The body needs to maintain its fluid levels during a workout. Cold drinks, with the exception of those containing alcohol, are the ideal beverage during physical activity because they help cool our bodies. Good luck and try to remember, losing weight is not a sprint its a marathon a long term commitment.

About this page
n the 1980s, the late country singer, songwriter, and sometime actor Hoyt Axton had a hit with a song with that line. Anyone remember the answer? Bony fingers! For generations, weve been taught if we work hard and play by the rules we can be whatever we want, but it always has been and always will be an empty promise based on a lie. One wonders whose fingers David and Richard Koch worked to the bone. Certainly not their own. Any time a rich man tells you he got rich through hard work, ask him whose. Some get all maudlin about these things, imagining shiny white nuclear families basking in the Stars and Stripes standing proudly, but its all hooey and always was. Its a rigged game. The manipulators want you to hate the poor so much you dont realize how the rich are doing a number on you. Dont buy it. Some attribute The American Dream mythos to a Unitarian Minister named Horatio Alger who wrote stories about poor boys who worked hard and made good. The rest of the story is that Alger was really a pedophile who assaulted dozens of boys. What a fitting metaphor for such a big lie. In 1983, the late English professor Paul Fussell wrote a book called Class: A Guide through the American Status
System which examined the American aversion to class consciousness and the truth that you are what you are and no amount of polish can change that. Unfortunately for Fussell, it came out at the same time as Charles Murrays The Bell Curve, a racist screed which blamed the underclass for their own misery because theyre just inferior, and Fussells work was denounced side by side with Murrays, even though Fussells was tongue in cheek and wonderfully subversive. Fussells goal was to make an American version of a Jilly Coopers Class which examined the seemingly confusing British class system. Fussells answer was that our class system (and, yes, we have one) was even more confusing than the Brits. He postulated we actually have nine social classes. At the top and the bottom were those he called the Top out of sight and Bottom out of sight, the top being the very rich who hide behind gates or else in plain sight, and the bottom, those tucked away in prisons, state mental health facilities, and nursing homes. Both were similar to those just above and below them, the Destitute and Upper Class respectively, just not visible. That leaves the five Fusselian classes in the middle, which are the three Prole classes (Proletarian) Low, Mid-, and High, Middle class, and Upper Middle class. The divider was mostly college: proles mostly didnt go, middles went to places like Kansas State, Washburn, UCLA, Notre Dame, and so forth, while Upper Middles went to
those exclusive places like Harvard and Yale. To Fussell, you were stuck with the class you grew up in rising and sinking was impossible, even by intermarriage which only highlighted your contrast with your spouse. Sure, he said, there were always people who slipped through the cracks struggling middles like Bill Clinton, and declining Upper Middles like his successor in the White House, but everyone knew just where they came from. That is even more apparent in entertainment, where we have people like the child of Polish immigrants, Martha Helen Kostyra, who christened herself Martha Stewart and pretended to be Upper Middle and in contrast, the yuppies of the Robertson clan of Duck Dynasty, who grew their hair out and put on camouflage to play rednecks on TV. But eventually the truth came out about both Martha and the Robertsons. Fussell was in some regard a fussy professor type, but after seeing how he concluded his book, I wasnt surprised to later find out he was also a nudist. He advocated treating all as persons of dignity and worth regardless of where they came from, and what else can you do when nobody has on clothes that reveal their class origins?

University sees growth in private, research funds
TOPEKA University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the universitys efforts to raise higher education funds from private donors and research grants continue at a brisk pace, but she cautions that state support is still critical. Gray-Little tells The Topeka Capital-Journal that while outside research grants hit record levels, further gains may be difficult because of federal budget constraints. The university has recorded $957 million in private funds toward its goal of raising $1.2 billion by 2016 as part of its Far Above campaign. Research funding topped $171 million in 2012, compared with $162 million a year earlier. Gray-Little, who has been chancellor since 2009, said state support for higher education helps with fundraising efforts by demonstrating a partnership for improving the university. Police and service providers had repeatedly asked the man to go to a shelter but he refused, said Officer Nate Schwiethale, part of the police departments three-officer Homeless Outreach Team that has found housing for more than 100 people since February. He was resistant, Schwiethale said. He didnt want to be confined. Several homeless people left the encampment months ago and found housing, Schwiethale said, but the man couldnt be persuaded to leave. Its tragic, Schwiethale said. He did have some income, through Social Security. He had enough money to live in housing. We could have tried to get him an apartment. The man had a drinking problem, said Schwiethale. A lot of them just dont want to be around other people, said Tom Myers, who oversees a mens shelter at the Union Rescue Mission. For whatever reason, they just want to stay out. They feel boxed in if they come to a shelter. He said the shelter had room on Saturday night when the wind chill was between zero and 5 above. Little can be done when a homeless person refuses help because being homeless isnt a crime, Schwiethale said. aneurysm. When her husband arrived, he noticed that her purse, phone and wedding ring were missing. KAKE-TV reports her family says she was taken off life support on Monday. The family said it didnt care about her purse or phone, but they hope to get her wedding ring back. $92.5 million bond issue district voters approved in April. Construction is expected to begin early next year, with the center scheduled to open for the 2015-2016 school year.
Kansas Statehouse visitor center to open Thursday

TOPEKA State and local officials will hold a ceremony this week to mark the official opening of the Kansas Statehouse visitor center to the public. The Kansas Historical Society will cut the ribbon Thursday morning on the new facilities on the north side of the Statehouse. Gov. Sam Brownback and Topeka Mayor Larry Wolgast are scheduled to speak, and visitors will be offered tours of new exhibits lining the halls of the Statehouse. Workers are completing a 13-year, nearly $330 million renovation of the capitol building. The project has included expanded office and meeting space for state officials, new ventilation and electrical systems, and the visitor center on the ground floor. The center includes a marble floor with a map of Kansas with each countys name engraved.
Teen arrested in Hutchinson church break-ins

HUTCHINSON A Hutchinson teenager is facing charges after being arrested in two church burglaries. The 17-year-old was arrested Friday after a custodian discovered him at the First Church of God. Nothing was reported stolen from that church. But police say the teenager is also a suspect in the theft of some cash from Riverside Baptist Church less than an hour before the break-in at the First Church of God. The teen also is suspected of breaking into vehicles in the past week. Investigators say the thefts apparently arent related to a string of church burglaries that hit Hutchinson in 2012.
Mans death shows difficulty of helping homeless

WICHITA A homeless man who may have frozen to death under a bridge in Wichita had refused offers of help because he didnt want to be confined in a shelter, police and homeless advocates said. The 61-year-old man was found dead Sunday afternoon. Police said he apparently froze to death when temperatures dropped from the mid-50s to 18 degrees overnight Saturday. Police and others who work with the homeless arent releasing the mans name until they can confirm his identity through fingerprints. An autopsy will determine the official cause of death. He was the 10th homeless person known to have died in Wichita this year, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Kansas to check for voter birth records

TOPEKA Kansas will start combing through its birth certificates within a few weeks to whittle down the list of voters with registrations on hold because they havent complied with the states proof-ofcitizenship requirement, Secretary of State Kris Kobach said. Kobach told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview that attorneys for his office and the state Department of Health and Environment were meeting Tuesday to finish work on an agreement between the two agencies. The health departments Office of Vital Statistics maintains birth certificates on people
born in Kansas. Under the agreement, the Office of Vital Statistics will check lists of prospective voters against its records to determine whether it has birth certificates and notify the secretary of states office when it can verify matches, Kobach said Monday. He said the checking should begin by mid-January. The proof-of-citizenship law took effect Jan. 1, 2013, and requires new voters to produce a birth certificate, passport or other documentation when registering. More than 19,300 registrations are on hold because the voters havent complied with the rule, and they cannot legally cast ballots until their citizenship is verified. Kobach said when its determined through the checking that prospective voters have Kansas birth certificates, their registrations will be deemed complete and theyll be notified by election officials. Were looking for every way that we can to help people complete their registrations, he said. This will help a lot of people. He said he doesnt know how many people whose registrations are on hold have Kansas birth certificates and how many were born in other states, registering in Kansas for the first time after moving to the state. Kobach, a conservative Republican, championed the proof-of-citizenship law as an anti-fraud measure to keep non-citizens from voting, particularly those in the U.S. illegally. Critics argue that a small amount of reports of non-citizens potentially voting doesnt justify putting thousands of citizens ability to vote in limbo. Its an effort by a small minority that wants to repress voter participation, state Sen. David Haley, a Kansas City Democrat, said during an interview earlier this month. Its disappointing and frustrating. The proof-of-citizenship law and voter registrations on hold are likely to be major issues as Kobach seeks a second, four-year
term in 2014. When Democratic challenger and former state Sen. Jean Schodorf of Wichita launched her campaign in late October, she said the state needed to be using the Office of Vital Statistics records to verify birth certificates instantaneously. She added that there was no reason for two state agencies with offices in nearby Topeka buildings to not be cooperating with each other. Kobach said his office and the health department have been working on an agreement for months and before Schodorf launched her campaign. He said the two agencies need an agreement because of the interplay of multiple laws that restrict the disclosure of information in birth certificates. For example, one law says a person must have a direct interest in a birth certificate to review it, and the information must be necessary for the determination of personal or property rights.
Wichita museum plans events to celebrate MLK Day

WICHITA The Kansas African American Museum in Wichita is planning a series of events on the Saturday before the Jan. 20 observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Wichita Eagle reports memorial events honoring the slain civil rights leader have been held in Wichita for more than 30 years, drawing more than 700 people annually. Activities scheduled for Jan. 18 include a pancake breakfast, a communitywide parade and a celebration that will include a gospel concert. Museum executive director Mark McCormick says the program was designed to make the holiday more of an American holiday than an African-American holiday. He says the museum is trying to be more purposeful and intentional about being inclusive.

Egypt: Al-Jazeera journalists detention renewed

CAIRO Egypts top prosecutor on Tuesday ordered five people including four journalists working for satellite news broadcaster Al-Jazeera English held for 15 days on suspicion of joining a terrorist organization and spreading false news harmful to the state security. Prosecutor General Hisham Barakat accused the five of belonging to a terrorist group, referring to the Muslim Brotherhood, the group from which ousted President Mohammed Morsi hails. The order had a list of accusations against the five, including alleging they set up a media network with the aim of tarnishing Egypts image abroad and harming its political position. It said that they were arrested on Sunday in a five-star hotel in Cairo and that authorities confiscated a number of cameras, microphones, computers, gas masks, cash and statements including calls for student protests. Those in detention are Australian award-winning correspondent Peter Greste, Al-Jazeera English Bureau Chief Mohammed Fahmy and producer Baher Mohamed. A spokesman for Qatarbased Al-Jazeera said that the fourth, cameraman Mohamed Fawzy, was released early Tuesday morning, even though the prosecutors statement said all remained held.
TOPEKA Although winter has set in across Kansas, door-to-door paving scams are continuing to be seen throughout the state, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has said. In the past three months, the Attorney Generals Consumer Protection Division has received complaints regarding door-to-door driveway paving scams from Cloud, Douglas, Jefferson, Marshall, Mitchell, Nemaha, Neosho, Osage, Ottawa, Republic, Saline, Shawnee and Stevens counties. According to Schmidt, the scam typically involves the pavers claiming they have leftover asphalt from a recent job, and offering consumers a good deal to pave their driveways. Often, they do not disclose all of the charges, do not inform the consumers of their three-day right to cancel, perform substandard work or do not complete the job at all. Schmidt reminded consumers that when hiring contractors or construction workers, it is best to deal with reputable, local companies. Schmidt asked that any Kansans who may have done business with a deceptive or fraudulent paving operation contact the Consumer Protection Division by calling 1-800-432-2310 or by filing a complaint online at www.InYourCornerKansas.org.
Uganda warns South Sudan rebel leader

JUBA, South Sudan Ugandas president on Monday warned South Sudans rebel leader against rejecting the governments offer of a ceasefire, saying regional leaders would unite to defeat the former vice president, who is accused of mounting a failed coup in the worlds newest country. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni told reporters in Juba, the South Sudan capital, that a regional bloc known as IGAD had given Riek Machar four days to respond to the cease-fire offer. If he doesnt we shall have to go for him, all of us, he said, referring to IGAD. A meeting of East African leaders last week said it welcomed the commitment by South Sudans government to cease hostilities against rebels and urged both sides to start peace talks by Tuesday. Machar instead called for a negotiated cease-fire that includes a way to monitor compliance. The U.N. Security Council on Monday evening issued a statement reiterating its support for IGADs efforts to bring about peace and insisted that the warring factions begin talks without preconditions. Violence since mid-December in South Sudan has displaced up to 180,000 people, the United Nations said Monday.

Revelers welcome 2014 with huge fireworks displays

CANBERRA, Australia With fireworks, dancing and late-night reverie, millions around the world welcomed 2014 on Tuesday, gathering for huge displays of jubilation and unity as the new year was arriving across 24 time zones. In Australia, fireworks sprayed from the sails of the Sydney Opera House and the citys harbor bridge at midnight. Revelers in Dubai awaited what was supposed to be the worlds largest fireworks show. In Ukraine, anti-government protesters hoped to set their own record for the most people to sing a national anthem at the same time. Revelers heading to New York Citys Times Square could expect the annual ball drop but no mayor this year. The new year was to be rung in by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor instead. Closer to the edge of the International Dateline, New Zealand bid farewell to 2013 with fireworks erupting from Aucklands Sky Tower as cheering crowds danced in the streets of the South Pacific island nations largest city. Known for glitz, glamor and over-the-top achievements like the worlds tallest tower, Dubai hoped to break another record by creating the largest fireworks show ever. Organizers planned to light up the citys coastline with a flying falcon made out of fireworks that would move across a massive manmade palm-shaped island alongside a countdown in fireworks. Organizers say they will also create a burst of light out of fireworks to imitate a sunrise and dazzle spectators with a United Arab Emirates flag that could also break records for being the largest ever made of fireworks. The 6-minute extravaganza will include 500,000 fireworks from 400 firing locations, all synchronized by 100 computers from stations across the city, said Barrett Wissman, co-chairman of IMG Artists that is managing the event. Guinness World Record officials will be on hand to measure the scale of the event. Wissman said the display will cover 30 miles (48 kilometers) of seafront. It is really mind-blowing, the size of this, he said. In Sydney, organizers had expected to set off 7 metric tons (7.7 U.S. tons) of pyrotechnics in 12 seconds. The estimate appeared accurate. It filled up the whole sky, said Mona Rucek, a 28-year-old tourist from Munich, Germany. In Tokyo, five priests at the Zojoji temple used ropes to swing a wooden pole against a large bell, sounding the first of 108 gongs to mark the new year. Simultaneously, 2014 lit up in white lights on the modern Tokyo Tower in the background. Both Japanese and tourists jammed the temple grounds for the traditional ceremony. Suburban resident Juji Muto said he was curious to hear how the bell sounded. At his age, the 75-year-old retiree said he wishes as every year for good health in the new year. China planned light shows at part of the Great Wall near Beijing and at the Bund waterfront in Shanghai. The city of Wuhan in central Hubei province called off its fireworks show and banned fireworks downtown to avoid worsening its smog. Pope Francis used his year-end prayer service of thanksgiving to urge people to ask themselves: Did they spend 2013 to further their own interests or to help others? In his homily, the pontiff asked people to reflect if they used 2013 to make the places where they live more livable and welcoming. Citing Rome as an example, Francis said the city is full of tourists, but also refugees. Britain planned to welcome 2014 with a mixture of futuristic fireworks, torchlit tradition and worries about immigration. The United Kingdom is only one day away from lifting restrictions on workers from Romania and Bulgaria, a prospect which has many on the countrys right worried. Britains top-selling The Sun newspaper carried a startling feature quoting Romanian bus passengers en route to London as vowing to beg and steal their way across the country. The right-leaning Daily Mail reported that planes and buses from Romania to the U.K. were sold out a claim ridiculed by journalists who easily found cheap flights online. For people already in London, the New Year will give them the opportunity to literally taste the fireworks. The citys mayor in conjunction with telecommunications company Vodafone said this years explosive display would come packed with peachflavored snow, edible banana confetti and orange-scented bubbles, allowing people to feast with more than just their eyes. The multisensory display will also include scratch-and-sniff programs, LED wristbands and fruitflavored sweets. At Berlins Brandenburg Gate, hundreds of thousands of people were starting to assemble for what organizers say is one of the worlds biggest outdoors New Years party, a traditional German gathering featuring jelly doughnuts and sparkling wine. More than 260 people had been injured by firecracker blasts and celebratory gunfire in the Philippines ahead of New Years Eve celebrations. Department of Health spokesman Dr. Eric Tayag said he expected the number of injuries to rise sharply as Filipinos commemorate the end of a year marked by tragic disasters, including a Nov. 8 typhoon that left more than 6,100 dead and nearly 1,800 missing. Many here are welcoming the new year after losing their mothers, fathers, siblings and children so you can imagine how it feels, said village chief Maria Rosario Bactol of Anibong community in Tacloban, the city worst hit by Typhoon Haiyan. I tell them to face the reality, to move on and stand up, but I know it will never be easy. In Hong Kong, pyrotechnics were fired near the Kowloon peninsula and from the tops of seven skyscrapers. A British colonialera canon was fired at midnight in a tradition dating from the end of World War II. New Years celebrations in Indonesia were widespread except in the city of Banda Aceh where Islamic clerics prohibit Muslims from celebrating New Years Eve. In New York City, outgoing Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who hobnobbed with celebrities during past Times Square celebrations, is sitting out this years festivities to spend time with family and friends. Mayorelect Bill de Blasio will be sworn in at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday at his Brooklyn home. Sotomayor, a New York City native, will lead the final 60-second countdown and push the ceremonial button to signal the descent of the Times Square New Years Eve ball in front of an estimated 1 million celebrants.

The 2012-13 Junction City wrestling team finished the year undefeated in dual meets and as Centennial League and regional champions. While injuries have sidelined some of the more experienced wrestlers through the first month of the season, the Jays are hopeful the full roster will be available in the upcoming weeks. And the streak of dual wins continues into 2014.

Colts get back in sync just in time for Chiefs, playoffs

BY MICHAeL MAROT
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS Robert Mathis insists momentum matters. He remembers Indianapolis pulling things together to make a Super Bowl run following the 2006 season and realizes six of the past eight Super Bowl champs played on wild-card weekend. The teams that survive and advance this time of year are the ones capable of cranking up the intensity while minimizing mistakes. Yes, the new NFL sacks champion has done his homework and figures that model bodes well for his Colts. I think if you check the last six Super Bowl winners, they got hot at the right time, Mathis said Monday. Thats what its all about, getting hot at the right time. No team has done that better this season than the AFC South champions. Only one of the NFLs 12 playoff teams heads into the postseason with a longer winning streak than Indy (11-5). San Diego has won four straight. The Colts, Carolina and San Francisco each have won three in a row. But Indys resume may be the most impressive of the group. In a league where one-possession games are the norm, Indy has won its past three all by 16 or more points including a 23-7 victory at Kansas City (11-5) on Dec. 22. Please see Playoffs, 6B

Small improvement for Schumacher after second surgery

GRENOBLE, France Michael Schumacher underwent a second surgery after a brain scan showed small, surprising signs of improvement, but grim doctors said Tuesday they could offer no insight into the prognosis for the Formula One champion. Schumacher, who turns 45 on Friday, suffered critical head injuries when he fell and struck a rock Sunday while skiing on a family vacation in the French Alps. His manager confirmed that the accident cracked his helmet, which doctors credited for giving him a chance at survival. Schumachers condition stabilized

somewhat after the second surgery, but he remains in a medically induced coma and doctors gave no prediction on how long that would last. We cannot tell you any more about the future, said Gerard Saillant, a surgeon and friend of the family who is in Grenoble. Saillant said it would be stupid to make any predictions about Schumachers recovery. Schumacher and his 14-year-old son were skiing in the French Alpine resort of Meribel, where the family has a chalet, when he fell and hit the right side of his head on a rock.

Double heartbreak against Manhattan

May 16
Nine days after suffering a shocking, double-overtime loss at Al Simpler Stadium where visiting Manhattan knocked in a questionable goal with 36 seconds remaining, the Junction City girls soccer team had a chance for vengeance. The second time around, the teams battled to a scoreless regulation. However, in the rematch, the Junction City back line of Aly Bontrager, Cassidy Meadows and Shelby Reeves held strong, preventing Manhattan from any good scoring chances. And when the Indians did break through, Blue Jays keeper Lily Thornberg turned every attempt aside. Late in the final overtime, Thornberg injured her shoulder charging off her line to stop a Manhattan scoring opportunity. She finished the period, but couldnt go in the shootout. Erika Goodwin, normally a forward, stepped between the woodwork for the shootout. She turned away the first Indian shooter to notch the only save of the shootout. But two Junction City shooters missed the net and Manhattan advanced 4-3.

Blue Jays retain the Silver Trophy

Nov. 1
The Junction City football team had much on the line when it traveled to Manhattan on Nov. 1. A shot at the district title, a spot in the playoffs and most importantly, the cherished Silver Trophy hung in the balance. Late in the fourth quarter, senior running back Ron Wilson plowed his way through the Indian defenders before plunging into the end zone to give the Jays a 16-10 lead. Wilson credited his offensive line for creating the holes that pushed him into the end zone. They were holding their blocks firm, moving down the field, he said after the game. Everybody had to come together as a group, weve got to play as one together, as a group, its really for them. The defense held strong, forcing a turnover on downs deep in Jays territory. Junction City had a little more than two minutes to march down the field to score in order to claim a spot in the state playoffs. Ultimately, the drive fell short, but by holding on to the win, Junction City retained the most important prize its trophy case can ever hold the Silver Trophy. The trophy exhibits not only athletic achievement but also represents the very best in sportsmanship. And for the second consecutive year, it will proudly reside outside the Shenk Gymnasium for all to see.
Ty returns, Cats end bowl streak

Dec. 28
Junction City High School alumnus Ty Zimmerman spent his final home game as a member of the Kansas State football squad on the sidelines with a walking boot on his foot as he hobbled back and forth on crutches as he followed the action. But he made sure to end his career in a much different fashion. Zimmerman returned from an ankle injury to help the Wildcats to a 31-14 victory against Michigan in the Buffalo Wild Wings bowl on Dec. 28. The win was significant not only because it signified Zimmermans return, but it also ended an 11-year bowlvictory drought for K-State. Some of the talk concerning the streak might have been blown out of porportion, as last season K-State fell to Oregon, one of the top teams in the nation, in the Fiesta Bowl. The year before, the Wildcats lost to a then up-andcoming SEC team in Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl. If that Razorback squad hadnt lost its coach following a scandal, they wouldve been on pace to potentially challenge for the SEC title. Nevertheless, the win lifted a burden from the teams back. And this senior class, which helped guide K-State back to football relevance with four consecutive bowl appearances, felt the feeling of finishing a season on a high note for the first time since he led Junction City to the 2008 6A football title.

Return of summer baseball

Summer
Not one, but two former staples of Junction City summers returned to historic Rathert Stadium in the summer. The formation of the Junction City Brigade saw the return of collegiate summer baseball for the first time since the Junction City Generals ceased operations following the 2010 season. After an opener dampened by less than ideal weather, the Brigade hit its stride. The Brigade brought a lively, family-friendly atmosphere to Rathert with many fun promotion nights including a Mustache night on June 27, where everyone with a mustache real or fake received free admission. Even the players, managers and Brigade staff participated by attempting to grow mustaches. Led by former Generals manager Shane Sieben, the team ended 2014 with a successful 21-13 record. Brigade first baseman Scott Tyler recently committed to play Division I baseball at Ball State University in Indiana. After playing as an independent team in its inaugural season, the team will return as part of the Great Plains League this summer. Junction Citys American Legion summer team also resumed play following a twoyear hiatus with the AAA Hawks (18 and under) and the A Jays (16 and under). Led by coach Derek Scott, the Jays advanced to state by winning its zone tournament, which was held at Rathert. In the zone opener, Tate Zimmerman tossed five shutout innings against Andover to earn the victory. In its second game, the Junction City offense erupted. Charlie Peyla went 2-4 with three runs and two RBIs in addition to shutting down Emporia on the mound. Tim Bell added two runs on a 2-3 performance with a walk and two RBIs. Nine of the 11 batters Junction City sent to the plate scored a run in the blowout. Severe weather forced the remaining games of the weekend to be cancelled. Since the Jays were the last undefeated team remaining, they were named zone champions. Legion baseball will return this summer and many of the Jays from the state team will be expected to contribute as the move up to the Hawks squad in 2014.
Davis, girls track shine at State

May 24-25
Raven Davis time inside the halls of Junction City had already concluded in late May. But the Junction City track standout had one more test before her high school career could enter the books the girls state track meet. Davis passed with flying colors, finishing second in the 200-meter dash, third in the 100-meter dash and anchoring the Blue Jays to a third place finish in the 4x100-meter relay. Shes a tremendous athlete, a tremendous performer and she came through at the state meet in a big way, Junction City track coach Becca Steiger said after the meet. Asia McFarthing, Olivia Kemp and Mona Saroglou ran superb other legs of the 4x100 to help the team finish with the time of 49.48. The girls 4x800-meter relay also advanced to Saturdays final races. Breanna Pace, Bre Watterman, Tina Butts and Deisjambra Bisio placed 11th in state, helping Junction City girls to end the meet 14th in Kansas class 6A.

Husband cannot get past wifes gambling

Dear Annie: Ive been married to my lovely wife for nine years, and to this day, I cant get past her gambling habit. It is causing major problems in our marriage. Once or twice a week when she gets that itch to head to the casino, she loses all the money she earns in our account and then accumulates bank fees and overdraft charges. Im fed up with her habit and have mentioned that this must stop. She has promised me many times that she will quit, but she hasnt been successful. Once I let her go to the casino and told her to spend only a certain amount, and she ended up gambling away $1,000, which she never replaced. I was upset and didnt speak to her for a few days. I will be deploying overseas soon, and Im afraid to leave her to handle our financial affairs. I want to ask my brother to put her on an allowance to pay our bills, but I know she will be upset and ask me to move out. I dont want to do that. What should I do? Totally Fed Up Dear Totally: Your wife has an addiction. Stopping will be impossible unless she admits she has a problem and agrees to get help. Some addicts voluntarily list their names with casinos to prohibit admittance, although it is not a guarantee. We urge you to separate your accounts so she cannot access money needed to run the household, and put your brother in charge of paying the bills. She may become angry, but your marriage will not survive her continued gambling and the potential loss of your savings. Please contact Gam-Anon (gam-anon.org) for additional information and support. Dear Annie: Your advice to couples about affairs has a very negative female bias. A little flirting and an affair or two is normal behavior for both men and women. Your usual advice is to get counseling or break up the relationship. I would advise them to just ignore it. They could have many years of a happy relationship with each other. Why dont you suggest that alternative? D. Dear D.: Most of our readers arent big fans of that alternative, whether male or female. If both partners agree that affairs are perfectly fine within their marriage, we have no objection. Or if one partner chooses to overlook the others phi-

landering, the couple might stay together, although they are not necessarily happy. In most cases, however, affairs are sneaky betrayals full of lies, and one partner loses out on the intimacy and trust that keep a marriage solid. The partner who cheats may believe the marriage is sufficiently happy, but our mail says otherwise. Dear Annie: This is in response to Finally at Peace, who now focuses on the grandchildren they are close to instead of mourning the ones they are not. My husband and I have four beautiful, successful and intelligent children. When our oldest was an infant, my mother-in-law told me that she was not available to babysit, so we didnt impose. It was difficult to watch Grandma and Grandpa travel many miles to babysit for their other grandchildren and attend their plays and ballgames, while showing little interest in ours, no matter how many times we invited them. When we had them over for Sunday dinner, we had to listen while Grandpa bragged endlessly about his other grandchildren. Our children have been taught to treat their grandparents with love and respect, but kids catch on to favoritism. I suggest that those grandparents examine their own behavior to see whether they need to change. Im still hoping my in-laws will realize what they are missing. Hope To Be a Better Grandparent

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). If one person in your household is working less diligently than the others, it will cause tension. If you live alone, the tension might be caused by a loved one you sometimes compare yourself to. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Youre careful not to waste time, especially not the time of a total stranger. When dealing with the public, youll be even more organized, purposeful and efficient than usual. GEMINI (May 21June 21). You will be rooting for someone who perhaps isnt capable of doing the thing that needs to be done, but your hope and encouragement will lift this person to new levels of accomplishment. CANCER (June 22July 22). Everybody wants something. Start with the people who want something small and easy to accommodate, like a glass of water. It will feel good to satisfy such needs, and this will prepare you for a bigger game. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). People will reveal their character to you; you just have to know what to listen for. Something you hear wont sit right with you. You may not know why, but your feeling is correct. Act on it. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). You dont want to push the ones you love into uncomfortable areas, but you have to. Who is going to help them find out what they are made of if you dont? LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). Be careful not to waste time wishing things were different than they are. Instead, note that you might prefer something different, and then get to work creating it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). What you do today you do specifically to please one person, and thats what makes your actions so interesting and meaningful. So what if that one person happens to be you? You deserve it! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Smart people may point out the inaccuracies they witness or argue fine points, but wise people know what to overlook. You are both smart and wise, so you make internal notes, not public remarks. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Things go well until it is time to say goodbye. People seem to hate leaving you, but you have a schedule to keep, too, so dont let the goodbyes drag on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Afraid of their own judgment, many people will work hard to avoid being alone. You, on the other hand, rather enjoy the selfreflection that comes when there is no one else to reflect off of. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). Youll smooth things over socially. You sense what people long to hear and will express it beautifully. You dont mind at all, especially since today it happens also to be the truth.

For each inch Gipson gave up in height, he made up for with his strength and sheer force of will, ending with eight rebounds and 12 points. I just told my team weve got to get stops and it all starts with defense and transition, Gipson said of his message at the timeout. And once we did that, were pretty fast in transition and we got easy buckets and it fueled our fire on defense. Freshman Jevon Thomas, playing in just his second collegiate game after sitting out the last 11 months, checked into the game after the strategic early timeout. His energy and speed immediately impacted his team. Down 15-8, he knocked the ball loose from his defender and into the hands of his teammate, Will Spradling. The next trip the Colonials took down the court, Thomas batted a rebound out to Gipson, which led to a Southwell trey. Weber said the pressure brought by Thomas and Nigel Johnson extends opponents. They didnt get to their sweet spots after that and I think thats a big difference maker, he said. Our teams have always been, if we can get pressure, teams get worn down and tired and now I think we have the depth to do that. Thomas also made plays on the offensive end. While hes still working on his scoring touch, the freshman found open teammates all over the court on his way to recording six assists. And not all of his best passes earned a place in the scorebook. With 11 minutes remaining in the game and K-State up 55-40, Thomas drove to the lane before delivering a no-look pass to Wesley Iwundu under the basket. Iwundu didnt make the basket, but was fouled before converting one of his two free throws. Southwell said he was happier with his teammates performances than his individual accomplishment. Jevon was getting to the lane and getting it to the right people, Nino (Williams) was making shots, he said. Omari (Lawrence) came in a grabbed three big rebounds for us and that energy just started flowing and I was on the bench, excited. Kansas State starts the defense of its Big 12 title when No. 6 Oklahoma State comes to town Saturday. Weve got to take each game 1-0 like we did last year and if we do that, well come out with another Big 12 title again.
Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher of Germany speeds down a course in Madonna di Campiglio, Italy on Jan. 13, 2006.

SCHUMACHER
tal, which is recognized as having one of Frances best neurology teams. Dr. Emmanuel Gay, the hospitals chief neurosurgeon, said a brain scan performed late Monday showed bruising a little bit everywhere in Schumachers brain but also an unexpected easing of pressure. The brain scan was, I must say, surprising, he said. But Gay and other doctors cautioned that Schumachers condition was still grave after the successful two-hour surgery to eliminate the largest and most accessible bruise, on the left side of his brain. We cannot say he is out of danger, said Dr. Jean-Francois Payen, head of the hospitals intensive care unit. Payen said any neurological evaluation
Kansas States Thomas Gipson (42) dunks past George Washingtons Kevin Larsen (21) during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2013, in Manhattan, Kan. Kansas State won the game 72-55
Charlie Riedel The Associated Press
was out of the question for now. Payen told BFM-TV on Monday that medical literature puts the recovery rate at 40 to 45 percent of patients. I dont work with statistics. I work with patients, he was quoted as saying. Schumacher was being kept artificially sedated and his body temperature was lowered to between 34 and 35 degrees Celsius (93.2 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit), to reduce swelling in the brain, reduce its energy consumption and allow it to rest. Schumacher earned universal acclaim for his uncommon and sometimes ruthless driving talent, which led to a record 91 race wins. He retired from Formula One last year after garnering an unmatched seven world titles. Schumi, as his fans affectionately call him, was famously aggressive on the track and no less intense off-hours. In
retirement, he remained an avid skier, skydiver and horseback rider. Sabine Kehm, Schumachers manager, offered more details on the accident, confirming that his helmet cracked on impact. It looks like probably that initiating a corner, he was hitting a stone which he had not seen and was catapulted down on a rock, Kehm said in English. That is extremely and very unfortunate ... really very, very bad luck. Michael was not at high speed. Visitors to the hospital Tuesday included two close friends of Schumachers from his time at Ferrari, where he won five of his record seven F1 titles from 2000-04. Jean Todt, then manager of the storied Italian team and now president of motor racings governing body, and Italian test driver Luca Badoer both declined to speak with media.
PLAYOFFS
During that stretch, Indy is plus-seven in turnovers, has allowed only two touchdowns, outscored opponents 78-20 and seen Andrew Luck complete nearly 67 percent of his passes. The offense has 106 points in the past 14 quarters, a per game average of 30.2. Indy heads into the postseason with the fewest turnovers (14) and fewest penalties (66) in the league, a 4-2 mark against playoff teams and a 3-1 record against teams with five or fewer losses. The Colts are playing their best football of the season and at just the right time heading into Saturdays rematch with the Chiefs (11-5), who have lost five of their past seven. Thats our goal, running back Donald Brown said, getting better each week, learning from our mistakes and just moving forward. Mathis knows better than most that getting hot doesnt guarantee anything in the playoffs. He was around when Indy: went 13-0 in 2005 and wound up losing in the divisional round to eventual Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh. started 14-0 in 2009, then threw away a possible perfect season to chase a second Super Bowl title before losing to New Orleans in Miami. and in 2008, when the Colts thought they were ready for another deep playoff run after finishing the regular season with nine straight wins. Then came an overtime loss at San Diego. This time may be different. After six up-and-down weeks of alternating narrow wins and blowout losses, contending with agonizingly slow starts and the constant injury
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Junior Hemingway cant hold onto this pass while being tackled by Indianapolis Colts cornerback Vontae Davis at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Dec. 22.
battle, the Colts called a players-only meeting to discuss fixes. It was guys meeting, men talking and holding each other accountable, Mathis said, declining to reveal details of the private discussion. Whatever was said, worked. After weeks of struggling without Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne, the Colts trotted out a nohuddle offense and Luck delivered. He started hooking up with young receivers such as DaRick Rogers and LaVon Brazill, which opened things up for T.Y. Hilton. The benching of Trent Richardson gave Brown a chance to prove his value and he finished the season averaging 5.3 yards per carry. Indys constantly shifting offensive line, which has started six different combinations over the past six weeks, responded by allowing just three sacks in three weeks. And the defense has limited opponents to just nine third-down conversions in 37 chances in the past three games. I think the key to it is now weve had the same guys in the lineup a little bit more so were kind of feeling comfortable with each other knowing who is out there, said kicker Adam Vinatieri, a fourtime Super Bowl champ. I think guys are really, really trying to do the extra little stuff to get us to the next level. If thats on the iPads, if thats more meeting time, if thats a little more field time, if its more time in the training room to make sure you can get as healthy as you can so you can play the best that you can. I think that focus is really amped up.
