Making breakfast gluten-free is easier than it may sound

BITE Sighs

AUDREY LINTNER

T

he very idea of dealing with something as temperamental as pie crust is enough to make many novice bakers turn in their aprons. Throw in a need for gluten-free nutrition, and you’ve got the potential for an uprising that has nothing to do with yeast.

There’s no need to get crusty about crust, though. Here’s a recipe that proves you can put “gluten-free” and “pie crust” in the same sentence as words like “easy” and “yummy.” It’s a very basic tart crust recipe used by lots of bakers, with just one modification.

I’m not going to tell you that these little breakfast pies are high on the health charts (Woo-hoo! Butter!), but they’re small enough to pair with fresh fruit and still make a satisfying meal.

Start with one cup of gluten-free baking mix. I used Hodgson Mill’s blend of millet, sorghum, brown rice and xanthan gum, but go ahead and use whatever bakes up (and tastes) to your specifications. Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt and stir it together. Cut one stick of cold, unsalted butter into little pieces and mix it into the flour with a pastry blender. Don’t have a pastry blender? Use two butter knives in a crisscross motion, about 10 million times.

I’ll be honest; the butter knives drove me nuts. I ended up using a balloon whisk, potato-masher style. It worked just fine.

Once the flour and butter look like large crumbs with a few peas thrown in, set it aside. In a small bowl, whisk together one egg yolk and two tablespoons of water.

Save the egg white in a medium-sized bowl; you’ll need it for the filling. Pour the egg water into the flour mixture and stir

THESE GLUTEN-FREE breakfast bakes are cooked in a muffin tin. just until it all holds together. Press the dough (gently) into a ball, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for 15 or so minutes.

In the meantime, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Add three more eggs to your egg white, plus a few shakes of pepper and garlic powder. Dice four “heat and serve” breakfast sausages and toss them in with the eggs. Lacto-ovo vegetarians, feel free to substitute your favorite tofu version. Add two cups of frozen O’Brien potatoes, the kind with peppers and onions, and 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese. Stir the heck out of it and set the bowl aside.

Crust time! Pull the dough out of the

fridge and dig out your muffin pan. Break off ping-pong-ball-sized pieces of dough and mush them into the pan cavities.

Don’t worry about daintiness; you’re not setting a broken leg. Press the dough right up to the rim, nice and thin, adding a bit here and there as needed. You should be able to line eight or nine muffin ‘dents’ before you run out of dough.

Give the filling mixture another stir and divide it evenly among the crusts. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the egg is set and the tops start to brown. Breakfast is served!

Enjoy!

Is fiscal fitness at the top of your priorities list for 2012?

Lawrence Public Library is poised to help.

Bowler combines passion with work n 2007, Kristal Scott Wilson’s performance in the United States Bowling Congress Queens tournament was broadcast on ESPN. In a clip that aired, Scott Wilson lifts her ball, wipes it with a towel, closes her eyes and kisses the ball. She studies the pins and hurls the ball, letting it teeter close to the lip, the edge precariously near the gutter. The ball rockets down the lane. Every pin comes crashing down. A moment later, she does it again. In both scenes, Scott Wilson never cracks a smile.

She never furrows her brow. Her face is calm, collected, the look of a deeply focused athlete.

Scott Wilson is a former professional bowler who now works at Jayhawk Bowling Supply, 355 Iowa. She’s involved in product production, paperwork and customer service for Jayhawk Bowling, a company that supplies equipment to 67 countries. “(The equipment) they use to drill balls, or fit your hand to a ball, or to work out a thumb hole or anything, we make that equipment to go into pro shops,” Scott Wilson says.

Bowling is an integral part of Scott Wilson’s identity. She started bowling at age 3. Her grandfather, Bill Gombos, taught her the sport, an act that would propel her toward a noteworthy professional path.

Scott Wilson was 12 when she started studying the game: practicing spares, learning to read the lane, focusing on her technique. By 15, she was spending ample time at the bowling alley. After school, she would rush over and practice for an hour or two. When league teams came in and swooped up the lanes, she would wait until 9:30 p.m., when they finished and begin again. She would play until late, though she had school in the morning.

Scott Wilson’s grandfather helped her train.

“He taught me how to read the lane,” Scott Wilson says. “A lot of people relate it like a golf course. You know how on a golf course, you can see the sand traps, and you can see the trees? Bowling is kind of the same — there’s (oil) on the lane, only you can’t see it.”

At 17, Scott Wilson’s skill earned her a spot on the United States Junior Olympic team. It was the first year for the elite program. She was on the team for three years, then at 19 she won a spot on Adult Team USA. At a major tournament, she finished

KRISTAL SCOTT WILSON is a former pro bowler who works at Jayhawk Bowling Supply in Lawrence. third in the world among more than 65 countries.

Scott Wilson attended Wichita State University on a bowling scholarship.

After college, Scott Wilson continued to bowl in at least two major tournaments each year — the Queens tournament and the U.S. Open — and she still participates annually. She has a sponsor, Columbia 300, that pays for all of her bowling gear, and in 2009 she served as bowling coach at Baker University.

“I loved passing my experience of the game to other bowlers,” she says.

Scott Wilson married another bowler,

Russ, who also works at Jayhawk Pro Bowling. They bowl together in a league, and their daughter, Leah, bowled her first game at 18 months.

“She’s been in a bowling alley since she was a week old,” Scott Wilson says.

Because there’s a lack of sponsorship for women’s professional bowling in America, a career in the sport was unsustainable.

But Scott Wilson found a job that was still connected to bowling, though in a different way.

“Even though I can’t bowl, it’s the other side of bowling. It’s how I get my balls,” she says. “It’s great because I love bowling.”

TIP OF THE ICEBERG LETTUCE New York Times writer merely scratches surface of vegetarian options during his time in K.C.

BY SARAH HENNING

L

ast week, I was somewhat livid. I’m not the type to get angry, and the source of my anger was kind of surprising, I suppose, if you know how journalists are: The New York Times.

More specifically, a story posted on Tuesday entitled “Meatless in the Midwest: A Tale of Survival.”

In it, we read the story of A.G. Sulzberger, who in the year that he had been assigned to the Times’ Kansas City bureau, had been, well, hungry.

And no wonder, by the sound of it, he’d spent a lot of time checking out the region’s famed barbecue joints with colleagues and friends, all the while doing some really terrific coverage of the tornado in Joplin and the Iowa Caucus.

In reading his tale of “survival,” at first I was really upset. Seething, I described it as not so much a tale of survival as a dated, elitist, tongue-in-cheek painting of how the Midwest is still the frontier, devoid of culture. (See, I was MAD!) His sources included a restaurateur who knows better (“The mentality of the Midwest is, green is garnish,” explained Heidi Van Pelt-Belle, who runs Füd) and a guy who turned vegetarian in Omaha and then moved to New York, where, presumably, he could be with his kind.

I thought, “How could they print this?”

Then, “Who is this article for?” When I thought about it, all I could come up with were New Yorkers who have never been west of the Mississippi, or possibly exMidwesterners (like the Brooklynite) who would relish the fact that they were smart to leave in the first place.

As someone born and raised in Kansas City, I went from upset to outright offended. I thought of all the eyes who’d seen that article before publication — editors, designers, web producers — and thought, “Really? No one thought, ‘Hey maybe this is a bad idea?’”

Someone had to have thought about the fact that people in the Midwest read The New York Times. In fact, they had to have known we read the Times because they opened a bureau here. And there’s no more sure-fire way to piss off your neighbors than

Read the New York Times story “Meatless in the Midwest: A Tale of Survival” at ljw.bz/y7cC6J.

by making fun of them and thinking they’re too dumb to know about it.

And pissed off they were. Twitter blew up; Facebook, too, all with angry Midwesterners going on the defense.

So I did something I never do. I emailed another journalist about the article he wrote. And not just any journalist — the SON of the publisher of the most powerful paper in the country. Yes, A.G. is Arthur, son of the publisher and, thus, the heir to the Times.

I was very cordial about it, introduced myself, told him I cover food and that I grew up vegetarian in Kansas City and told him that it was a crime that he hadn’t seemed to have found Eden Alley or Mudpie Bakery, both of which are completely vegetarian (in Mudpie’s case, vegan) and hugely popular (Eden Alley has been my favorite restaurant for more than half my life). He had hinted that Kansas City had two fully vegetarian restaurants, meaning Füd and Eden Alley, but because he’d only talked to the owner of Füd, I figured maybe he wasn’t in the know.

After I sent that message, I started to feel bad for Arthur. I know what it’s like to be a vegetarian journalist in a strange place with weird hours, lots of stress and coworkers who’d rather power through lunch in an effort to save money and calories for later sustenance over pints and darts.

I also knew that though my message was in good taste and cheerful, his inbox was probably brimming with hate mail.

Emails spewing rage and probably calling him out for being just another East Coast snob. Or picking on him for being born into power. Or chastising him for going against his people — how could he turn his back on other vegetarians? How?!

That night, I received a response from Arthur. Simple, professional and shocking because I totally expected to be skirted away with the inbox riptide.

AP File Photo

Hi Sarah, Thanks for the note. I have actually been to Eden Alley a few times. As for the restaurant in Omaha, thats great news and I’ll look forward to checking it out.

Best, Arthur It’s a nice note — short, to the point, and proves that he read my message and thought about it. (I had mentioned that Isa Chandra Moskowitz is opening a vegan restaurant in Omaha).

So, look, though I’m late to the party, I was asked by several people to write about the “tale” that upset both vegetarians and omnivores alike.

But I’m not going to go on about how it’s all an elitist conspiracy from rich people on the coasts to look down upon the Midwest.

Because that’s just as big a stereotype as saying that vegetarians are as rare four-leaf clovers once you land in the pastures past the Mississippi.

And it also feeds into another stereotype: That vegetarians are back-biters, eager to look down on everyone, even their own kind, for silly reasons like a personal preference for honey or subsisting on vegetarian (but not so

healthy) deep-dish pizza.

So I’m not going to do that.

Instead, I’m going to take my friend Christine’s suggestion and make a list of some wonderful vegetarian options in Lawrence, should Arthur or any visiting vegetarian need to know.

In no certain order:

The avocado chimichurri at Free State

The veggie burger salad at Local Burger

The Thai sweet and sour with tofu at Zen Zero

The veggie roll combo at Yokohama

The Merc salad bar — which is completely vegetarian

The chana masala at India Palace

The “make your own salad” option at Ingredient Honestly, this list could go on and on.

Lawrence is rife with vegetarian options, and they’re all wonderful.

I am aware this isn’t the case everywhere in the Midwest. And, like Arthur, I have dined on what amounts to iceberg lettuce salad. But we do have options … and it would be nice to have more.

What’s your favorite veggie meal in Lawrence? Join the conversation at Lawrence.com.

Cervical cancer screenings recommended

BY KARREY BRITT

T

he Kansas Department of Health and Environment is encouraging women to schedule their annual well-woman checkups in recognition of Cervical Health Awareness Month.

According to a 2010 report, 17 percent of Kansas women ages 18 and older had not received a Pap test within the past three years.

“Pap tests decrease the risk of developing cervical cancer by detecting precancerous cells which, when found early, are highly treatable. Women should have their first screening Pap test at age 21 or within three years of becoming sexually active if younger,” said Dr. Robert Moser, secretary and state health officer.

Although cervical cancer was once the leading cancer killer of women, the number of cases has declined 75 percent in the past 50 years, largely because of the widely available and reliable Pap test. Even so, an estimated 12,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year.

In 2008, 76 Kansas cases were diagnosed with 24 deaths due to cervical cancer in 2010.

KDHE’s Early Detection Works program provides breast and cervical cancer screening for uninsured women, ages 40 to 64, who meet income guidelines.

For more information about the EDW program, call 877-277-1368 or visit kdheks.gov/edw.

HPV VACCINE Most cervical cancer cases are caused by infection with human papillomavirus, or HPV, a common sexually transmitted disease. HPV infection also can cause a number of other health problems for both men and women.

An HPV vaccine is available to prevent many of these potential health problems and is routinely recommended for both females and males at age 11 or 12. The three dose series is to be given over a sixmonth period. If an adolescent misses receiving the three recommended doses, they may catch up between the ages of 13 and 26.

Most health insurance policies cover the cost of vaccines. If an adolescent does not have an insurance plan that covers vaccines, the Vaccines for Children program may be able to help. The program provides vaccines at no cost to doctors who serve eligible children.

Ask your doctor, contact the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department at 843-0721 or visit cdc. gov/vaccines to learn more about the program.

FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA joins cast members Miranda Cosgrove, left, and Jennette McCurdy of Nickelodeon’s “iCarly” in performing the “random dance” at a special screening of “iMeet The First Lady” episode of the show Friday.

First lady on ‘iCarly’ ALEXANDRIA, VA. (AP) — They called it “random dancing” but First Lady Michelle Obama broke out some moves that resembled subdued variations of “the Monkey” or “the Jerk” Friday during an appearance at a northern Virginia high school.

A screaming, raucous auditorium filled with elementary and middle school students greeted Obama and the cast of the Nickelodeon TV show “iCarly” at Hayfield Secondary School in Fairfax County.

The appearance promoted an upcoming episode featuring Obama in which she thanks military families for their sacrifices. On the show, star Miranda Cosgrove plays the daughter of an Air Force colonel deployed overseas.

A staple of the show is a segment of random dancing, which Obama performed both in the episode that premieres today and on stage Friday.

Obama’s dance moves drew plaudits from the “iCarly” cast.

“I think she showed everybody up in the dance department,” said Jennette McCurdy, who plays Samantha.

LAWRENCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LUNCHES MONDAY

Dear Dr. Wes and Miranda: My boyfriend and me were apart for break. The first week we were texting everyday and switching off who was texting who, and it was all lovey-dovey. We Skyped and Facebooked and so on. But then, halfway through break he went on a trip with his friends, and I haven’t heard from him since. It’s been a week and its not normal for a bf not to text his gf every day in this day and age, so I’m worried that he’s bored with me or maybe he doesn’t really love me like I thought he did. And now I’m thinking maybe I should break up with him if he doesn’t care about me.

What do you think?

WEDNESDAY BBQ pork sandwich Turkey sandwich PBJ Chef salad Mixed fruit Scalloped potatoes

THURSDAY Soft taco Ham and cheese sandwich PBJ Chef salad Refried beans Mandarin oranges

FRIDAY Pizza Roast beef sandwich PBJ Chef salad Green beans Grapes

Relationships require reciprocity, so talk to boyfriend about expectations

Miranda: In the age before cellphones, this wouldn’t have ever been a problem.

He would have gone on his trip, and you wouldn’t have heard from him until he returned home. Cellphones have provided the expectation of constant communication, so even if you two are hundreds of miles apart, you can easily freak out if he doesn’t respond within an hour.

Take a deep breath. He’s on a trip. What if he left his charger at home? What if he’s out of cell service? What if he’s just having fun? It seems extreme that you automatically believe he doesn’t love you anymore.

That’s not to say you’re wrong, but I’d wait and see how he treats you when he gets back. If he’s distant and cold, then you might want to end it.

Once he returns home, make it a rule to only text during lunch or at night before you go to bed. Or, you could even call each other on the phone (gasp!). If you set aside a certain time of the day to really talk, those conversations will become more meaningful, and their absence less anxiety-producing.

Ever heard the phrase “quality over

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND MIRANDA DAVIS quantity”? Use that as your guide. Don’t text someone for the sake of texting or to reassure yourself. It should not fill the void of actual human communication. In the future, focus less on the amount you talk and more on the quality of those conversations.

Dr. Wes: Texting is only the latest way to tell if a guy is really into you. It is a big deal for couples, but it also follows the same predictable pattern of verbal dating communication.

Things take off and his texts blow up your phone. Then as you get to know each other, he feels more comfortable backing off. You’re already won, why overdo a good thing? Then as you begin to get a little too comfortable with each other, the texts slow to a crawl. Other things just seem a little more interesting, and he starts to be less noticing.

No wonder you felt hurt. The relationship was in overdrive, and suddenly you’re taking a backseat to a good time with his

friends. But right here is where you have to get your feelings in check. Quick.

I’m not saying you should just smile and fake being happy. I’m suggesting that relationships aren’t really about feelings as much as they are behavior. Right now, you don’t like his. And what you need to do is think hard about how you want to respond.

Hint: This is NOT a breaking-up situation. Not yet, at least.

You have a right to ask him to make some changes in how he handles his communication with you. That’s a key element of successful coupling — each partner works to meet the others needs, without giving up everything he or she wants. If each does the job correctly, the couple has what’s called “reciprocity” (give and take in roughly equal proportions).

However, you need to pick your battles very carefully and decide what’s really important to you. In this case, I think he should have been a little more sensitive and checked in a time or two every day.

But I’m willing to bet a nice dessert on the likelihood that he has no idea you felt disconnected, and once you gently share that news with him and ask him to change, he’ll do his best. If you try this approach a few times, and he’s still not getting it, only then should you pull the plug.

Chefs root for ginger’s versatile properties

BY MICHELLE LOCKE, ASSOCIATED PRESS

COUPON COUPON

F

resh, dried, candied or pickled, the rhizome of the plant Zingiber officinale — ginger root to you and me — is a hot commodity at the moment.

Used quietly for years to add zip to everything from stir-fries and sushi to breads and cookies, ginger also happens to be a key ingredient for the noodles and dumplings traditionally eaten for Chinese New Year, the two-week celebration of food and family that begins Jan. 23.

But at the moment the knobby brown root is enjoying a bit of zeitgeist that goes far beyond that celebration, showing up in desserts, upscale sodas, marinades for pricey meats and fancy cocktails as the food world embraces this zingy root in anything but a gingerly fashion.

At the Lukshon restaurant in Los Angeles, chef-owner Sang Yoon laughingly describes himself as the guy who’ll “eat my own weight in the pickled ginger” when sitting down to sushi. “I really enjoy that light burn on the palate. It almost acts as a palate cleanser. It’s especially really pleasing for richer, oilier dishes like mackerel.”

So at his restaurant, he has taken ginger well beyond the stir-fry, making a syrup from ginger and galangal (a more savory relative of ginger) for cocktails, juicing ginger for sauces and vinaigrettes and hot pickling ginger for raw fish dishes.

Chef and Asian food authority Bruce Cost is such a fan he wrote the 1984 cookbook, “Ginger East to West,” which traced the history of ginger. He created Bruce Cost Ginger Ale for his restaurants and now sells it in specialty and food service retailers across the country. Unfiltered, it’s brewed in Brooklyn and made from fresh, whole ginger and cane sugar.

“It’s probably the premier herb on the planet,” he says, noting that ginger is an ancient food that has been embraced by diverse cultures.

And his brew is hardly alone. Grocer’s shelves are suddenly crowded with fancy ginger ales sporting big, bold flavor, from Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew to Maine Root Ginger Brew.

Diana Kuan, a New York-based writer and cooking instructor who blogs about food at appetiteforchina.com, likes ginger in all its incarnations, including, of course, its traditional role along with garlic and scallions as the basis for stir-fry and other dishes.

Ginger also shows up in marinades to

help tenderize meat and is a natural partner to crab, steamed fish or in rich dishes, such as pork belly or dumplings. “It has a really clean and sharp flavor,” says Kuan.

Jan. 23 ushers in the Year of the Dragon, which is the only mythical creature in the 12 animals that make up the Chinese zodiac and packs a bit more drama than the mild-mannered rabbit that ruled 2011.

Celebrations begin with a big family feast on New Year’s Eve and go on for 14 days ending with the Spring Lantern Festival.

Somewhere in there, you may need a cocktail, and this ginger lemon drop spritzer may fit the bill. Use the best ginger beer (fancy ginger ale) you can find. Fresh ginger, usually found with the grocer’s Asian produce, should be firm and brown.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS? Almost every day is a holiday, if you know where to look online

BY SARAH HENNING

T

oday is a real holiday: Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It was the last holiday added to the national roster when, in 1983, it became a federal holiday, going into effect in 1986.

But will we see another federal holiday added within our lifetimes?

Well, as always, the Internet is chock-full of suggestions, none nearly as serious or meaningful as a 21st century take on MLK Day. Daily, Twitter feeds are full with exclamations of “Happy (fill in the blank) Day!” Whether that be National Cupcake Day (Dec. 15), National Handwriting Day (Jan. 23) or National Talk in a Elevator Day (the last Friday in July).

These “holidays” may not be the best reasons to ratify a federal holiday, but they do serve a purpose, says R.M. Milner, a doctoral candidate in communications studies with an interest in online subcultures at Kansas University.

“I can say that even though the cupcake, enchilada day thing is not my scene, I can see why it works,” Milner says. “Technology allows us to connect to those who share our interests even if we’re all physically dispersed. If I visit food blogs and follow the Twitter accounts of other foodies, then I’m probably more likely to hear about National Cupcake Day and more likely to share the festivity with my network. Maybe if I’m on a cupcake blog and they have a post about festive Cupcake Day cupcakes, I can decide to make my own and then post the pics to my Flickr.”

Get enough people to “celebrate” National Cupcake Day with special posts or mentions, and it’s almost a selffulfilling prophecy for the day to actually be observed by people all around the country, Milner points out.

“I visit a site called Reddit with a pretty large contingent of people who dig science. This means that even though I’m not super-inclined to know it, I’m more likely to hear about the birthday of Stephen Hawking or Rich-

The Internet helps the spread of subcultural information like this because it helps us connect to a wider audience of those who are likely to share our interests and identity,” he says. “The spread can go wider when a journalist … finds out it’s National Cupcake Day from her network and then sends it out to an even wider audience through a more traditional media format.”

The amplification can benefit traditional holidays as well. More and more, users are likely to share their plans for a particular holiday or post kind words on Veterans Day. “Like so many things, social media amplifies our voice.

I’m not sure technology has ‘changed’ the way we celebrate as much as it gives us a place to express our held sentiments in a visible format,” Milner says. “We can now add to our picnics, dinners and days off with sentiment expressed and shared digitally with those in our social network. We can also engage with the sentiments oth-

ers have and share in a communal moment, even across distance.”

It also allows us not to forget holidays as easily because of the joint celebration factor. In fact, we might find ourselves celebrating something we wouldn’t have had knowledge of just a few years ago. An example would be our tendency to “know” and “celebrate” birthdays more than in the past, all thanks to Facebook’s profile preferences and reminder system.

“At least in the networks of people I talk to, it’s become pretty standard to have your wall flooded with ‘happy birthday’ salutations once a year. These may be from people you know well, know a little or haven’t talked to in years,” Milner says. “The Facebook system encourages this by sharing your birthday prevalently with your friends list. Now it even tells the world people are posting ‘for your birthday.’ In this way, we’re given a little nudge toward remembering we wouldn’t otherwise, and a cul-

tural norm has developed for doing something with that nudge.”

Milner says, though, that he’s not sure any amount of nudging by the Web community can succeed in making a federal, state or even city holiday an actual, set in writing, holiday.

“Certainly, there are examples of online subcultures rallying to change similar things. Such groups have been given credit for bringing TV shows back from cancellation, getting Betty White to host ‘SNL’ and even for rallying against a policy like SOPA. However, such net groups have also failed to save shows, failed to get the Muppets to host the Oscars and haven’t shut down Gitmo,” he says.

“If a concerted enough public sentiment develops online for a new national holiday, then I could see them having an influence.

ence the right gatekeepers: journalists, politicians, etc. In that way, social media is still very much tied to more traditional cultural outlets.”

So, what should be a holiday? Local historian Katie Armitage says that though she’s not sure we’ll see another official federal holiday anytime soon (it took nearly 20 years after his death for even King to get his own holiday), she has some ideas better than National Cupcake Day. First, what it won’t be: It won’t be Sept. 11, though that’s the most life-changing event of the past 20 years for many Americans. “ W e don’t want to celebrate disaster,” Armitage says. “‘Commemorate’ is what we try to say when we do

She says, rather, we should celebrate life and perseverance. If Sept.

11 does get a holiday, it will be one about survival, she says. And though the 79-year-old doesn’t think one will happen at the federal level in her lifetime, Armitage says she at least has a similar “life not death” suggestion for an official city-wide holiday: A celebration of Lawrence’s survival.

“A holiday for the survivors of Quantrill’s Raid, who had the courage to rebuild the town on the smoldering embers,” says Armitage, picking Sept. 18, the day the survivors created a charter government. “They had the vision and the courage to go on … so that might be more appropriate — a founder’s and survivors day combined.”

Go a little wild in St. Joseph, Mo. F

or a “nearcation” to a place straight out of the old-time Westerns, look no further than St. Joseph, Mo., just 78 miles from Lawrence.

This historic little town, whose motto is “Where the West Officially Started Getting Wild,” is filled with surprises. The Pony Express got its start in St. Joseph on April 3, 1860, and outlaw Jesse James met his end there when he was shot and killed on the same date 22 years later. No wonder True West Magazine named St. Joseph one of America’s “Top 10 Western Cities.” No horsin’ around!

The Pony Express National Museum has family-friendly exhibits galore. You can pump water from the original well and shift a mochila saddle from one horse to another, just like Pony Express riders once did. There’s even a room exploring pioneer kids’ lives, so your young Calamity Jane and her cowboy brother can try out the frontier lifestyle.

The Patee House Museum, built in 1858, was formerly a pioneer hotel and the headquarters of the Pony Express. But now this grand old building houses such a fascinating collection of things that your eyes could wander around all day. You’ll see period rooms, an 1861 replica stagecoach, an 1860 locomotive, antique toys, Walter Cronkite’s father’s dental office and a lot more. Clamber aboard a rhino on the vintage “Wild Thing” carousel for a ride you’ll never forget!

Right next door is the Jesse James Home Mu-

seum, where the bullet hole in the wall shows where James was plugged by fellow gang member Bob Ford while James was standing unarmed on a chair, dusting and straightening a picture. Yep, you’ll be standing in the same room where James rasped his last breaths. It’s enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.

Calm yourself down by communing with nature at the Remington Nature Center, much beloved by restless young buckaroos. Your kids can get up-close-and-personal with a mammoth and her baby, stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a bison, confront a black bear weighing more than 600 pounds, and look into the glinty eyes of a wolf. Of course, these critters are stuffed by taxidermists, so they won’t be hankerin’ to gobble down your young’uns.

There are plenty of other exhibits (many hands-on) about nature and history (including a 7,000-gallon aquarium) — not just educational but downright fun. Outside, you can enjoy scenic views of the Missouri River while your small fries follow nature trails to their hearts’ content.

Shifting gears, take a tour of the impressive collections of 18th, 19th and 20th century art (including colonial portraits, American landscape paintings and examples of American impressionism) at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, former home of William Albrecht, creator of the Big Chief writing tablet. The Albrecht-Kemper Cafe is open to the public for lunch every Wednesday

J.C. WYATT HOUSE in St. Joseph, Mo., offers dinners by reservation. and Thursday. Although the menu changes weekly, the food is always tasty and the surroundings are as inspiring as the museum’s collections. I love their Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwich on sourdough bread.

While you’re in the mood for rustlin’ up some grub, try Galvin’s Dinner House, a family-style restaurant serving some of the most mouthwatering pan-fried chicken that you’ve every tasted in your life. (Their soups and salads are nothing to sneeze at, either.) Last September, Galvin’s celebrated its 70th anniversary, so it must be doing something right.

The J.C. Wyatt House (built in 1891) was lovingly restored to capture the opulence of St. Joseph’s Golden Age of Prosperity. Chef Jeff Keyasko uses fresh, local ingredients to prepare flavorful cuisine, in a fine-dining setting, by reservation only.

Boudreaux’s Louisiana Seafood serves authentic Cajun fare, including seafood and steaks, in the heart of historic downtown St. Joe. Laissez les bon temps roulez!

And if the cowpokes in your posse can’t agree on what they want for dinner, but you’re all starved enough to eat a saddle blanket, head to Chu’s Garden Restaurant, a Chinese, American and Mexican buffet. After you chow down at this trough, you won’t be hungry for hours.

There’s way more to see and do in St. Joseph than is possible on a day trip, so plan on spending a long weekend to take in more of the sights and activities. For summer fun all year round, buy day passes to Monkey Cove Water Park at the Ramada Inn and Conference Center. And be sure to visit Tobiason Studio, where you can make a small Old West stained glass souvenir to take home.

Set up camp at the Drury Inn & Suites, with its indoor pool, free hot breakfast, free wireless Internet, free popcorn and free hot food and cold beverages each evening.

This motel makes getting in touch with your inner western spirit downright civilized!

Touring Mount Rushmore’s famous faces goes virtual

BY KRISTI EATON, ASSOCIATED PRESS

S

FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Virtual visitors to Mount Rushmore can now explore even more remote areas of the memorial than some who see it in person.

Three-dimensional laser technology scans that captured every nook of the four presidential faces and other features of the monument last year mean that starting Tuesday, visitors will be able to take indepth tours of the four presidential faces and see other features of the monument online.

The portal, comprised of models of the monument, allows people remote access to the Mount Rushmore National Memorial in western South Dakota to plan a visit or explore unusual areas, said Maureen McGee-Ballinger, the memorial’s director of interpretation and education. The monument draws about 3 million in-person visitors a year.

Online users are able to manipulate or dissect the three-dimensional models in various ways to learn more about the 60foot granite carvings of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore IOUX

MOUNT RUSHMORE NATIONAL MEMORIAL is shown July 18, 2006, near Keystone, S.D. Take an online tour of Mount Rushmore at http://ljw.bz/Al6F9G. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, McGeeBallinger said.

Crews scanned the entire monument and other features of the park in 2010 for historic documentation and preservation.

“They physically scanned all the different aspects of the sculpture,” McGee-Ball-

inger said. “This is going to really enhance our preservation aspect.”

The project is a five-year collaboration between the National Park Service and CyArk, a nonprofit project of the Kacyra Family Foundation based in Orinda, Calif. The Scottish government also provided resourc-

es and technology to perform the 3-D laser documentation, McGee-Ballinger said.

Some of the sights and experiences that virtual visitors to the memorial will be able to take in that they couldn’t in person are climbing to the top of the structure or accessing the Hall of Records behind the presidents’ heads, said Elizabeth Lee, director of operations at CyArk. Younger people are so accustomed to three-dimensional content because of video games that “being able to communicate about a historical site or the reservation work, you need something that is going to interest them or entice them,” Lee said.

“Just on the educational front, having 3-D media is a great way to engage the next generation,” she said.

The Kacyra Family Foundation, formed to foster humanitarian, cultural and scientific endeavors, has documented about 50 historical sites using state-of-the-art technology, including Pompeii in Italy and Angkor Wat in Cambodia. It says it is committed to preserving world heritage and freely disseminating the data.

The Mount Rushmore data will also be available to researchers and teachers who want to incorporate it into their lesson plans, McGee-Ballinger said.

How to dress in your 30s

Y

ou’re a young mother, perhaps. Maybe you’re not married. Or you’re quite possibly married and divorced.

You’re painfully bridging the gap between youthfulness and adulthood. You like to go out with your girlfriends and pretend you’re still in college, and you also fully appreciate staying in for movie nights.

You’re in your 30s, and whether you’re living the single life or married with kids, we can agree on two things: 1) You must dress your age and 2) The fashion world is doing nothing to help you dress your age.

When in doubt, stick with these four style concepts to get you through this tender decade.

JANEIRO — Forget fluorescent spandex: Rio’s catwalks were awash in the most exclusive of materials on Friday as Agatha fielded a winter 2012 collection in shaggy Mongolian lamb, patchworks of snakeskin and lustrous velvet.

Brazilian supermodel Isabeli Fontana, a regular on top catwalks in Paris, Milan and New York, opened the show — the top-paid model setting the tone for a production that was rich in every sense of the word.

Flippy cocktail dresses in lustrous inky black velvet swung seductively as the models walked, some of them wearing funky snakeskin visors or cropped vests in Mongolian fur.

But the loveliest pieces in the strong show were the dresses in velvet covered with little square appliques, like scales.

It was all about dramatic slits at Filhas de Gaia, where second skin dresses in bold colorblock had skirts split up to the models’ hips. Standout pieces in the strong show included an ankle-length gown in black and white, with a cutout at the waist and a salmon patch on one shoulder.

In a saturated palette of teal and royal purple, with touches of zebra and polka dots, the clothes at Filhas de Gaia exuded a tropical vibrancy that has been in strangely short supply at Rio fashion week.

Geometric and graphic, the prints at the aptly named label Printing IO DE

A TRENCH COAT is a classic coat and a good investment in outerwear.

PROPER OUTERWEAR Nothing says, “I know where I’m going in life” like a good coat. As a 30-something who is over the whole “impressing boys” thing and more fixated on practicality, you should demonstrate you are capable of dressing appropriately. Because if you can’t dress for the weather, what can you do?

I’m especially digging ladies’ trench coats right now, and this type of investment piece will last winter after winter.

Nor should you.

This is Lawrence, Kan., after all. The Midwest isn’t keen on skin, and I appreciate that. Our sensuality comes from ease — being relaxed and confident with ourselves, holding tightly to our femininity.

There’s something especially feminine and sophisticated about not showing skin and every curve. Choose clothes with movement, clothes that skim the body without hugging it.

CLASSY ACCESSORIES

QUALITY CLOTHING

Every 30-something needs a good bag. Whether you’re carrying around pacifiers, a professional portfolio or a collection of trinkets that seem to end up in your purse at random, a nice age-appropriate bag will separate you from the 20-year-olds carrying backpacks and messenger bags without seeming “too old.”Also, having one pair of nice boots, flats and pumps will ensure that you at least look like you have your life together. Try a practical shoe with a little sass — understated details make all the difference.

While teenagers and 20-somethings can usually get away with wearing clothes that don’t actually quite fit, a 30-year-old’s clothes require more tailoring. The sad truth is our bodies change as we age. So will our size. Accept it. Get the size that creates the best-looking silhouette and cut the size tag out. The older you get, the more important fit becomes.

Consider investing in higher-quality pieces as you age. Cheap clothes look even cheaper when women over the age of 25 wear them. Quality garments will last longer, look classier and fit better.

Whatever you do, whether you heed any of these suggestions or not, please, embrace this decade of life.

By now, you should know that modesty is, in fact, a virtue. I know Halle Barry shows skin for a night out on the red carpet, but you don’t have to.

were lovely — except if you stared at the mix and matched triangular designs too long, in which case you they might make you dizzy. In an unusual palette of Klein blue and tangerine, salmon and wine, the cropped trousers, short skirts and wide jackets were utterly fetching.

Sao Paulo-based designer Walter Rodrigues said he was inspired by Austrian director Michael Haneke’s 2009 film “The White Ribbon” about nascent fascism in a German village ahead of World War I, and the first half of his eponymous collection had an unmistakable Germanic rigidity about it.

Models wore sweeping black skirts and cropped jackets with crisp white shirts, their heads covered by what appeared to be a piece of curved construction paper.

Only the combat boots on their feet gave the slightly stiff, dated looks a punkish edge. The Amish punk vibe of the first half mutated into a Gypsy punk look as the models emerged in eye-popping prints, cropped wide-legged pants in vertical stripes with a long jacket in bright flower prints, their hair tied up in bright scarves.

R. Groove, the sole all-menswear display in the first four days of Rio fashion week, delivered the kind of pared-down utilitarian chic that a trustafarian would wear while backpacking around the world. In a muted palette of khaki, gray, Bordeaux and white, the low-crotched pants and plain-fronted jackets and windbreakers felt both rugged and pricey at the same time.

r. P promised, at high school parent night, that our teenage daughter would leave his class capable of organizing a logical and wellconstructed debate. My husband and I chuckled at the thought of our little teenybopper making sense in 18 short weeks.

Still, we watched as her nights of endless research evolved into weekends on the road while tales of our country’s exomesospheric needs overpowered dinner conversation and post-competition recaps filled our Saturday nights.

Where once stood a girl with scrunched up eyebrows and flailing arms we soon found a young woman, composed and deliberate with her words. We might not have been able to follow many of them, but we were fairly certain they made sense to anyone well-read in matters of space exploration and the federal defense budget from the Kennedy years through 2025.

It wasn’t until judging her school’s debate tournament, though, that I fully grasped what kind of monster Mr. P had created out of our teenage text machine.

(For those who have never debated or witnessed a debate, in a high school debate round, the two competing two-person teams face off in a classroom with one or three judges selecting a winner after each member gives a speech, is cross-examined and cross-examines an opponent.)

Alone in a room with four teenagers, I watched the opening speaker for the affirmative team, a sweet young lady not unlike my daughter, casually prepare for her speech.

“Is the judge ready?” she asked. I nodded, which was, in hindsight, untrue. Nothing could have prepared me for her opening argument, which sounded something like this: “The-United-States-must-protect-itsinterests-from-beyond-the-earth’s-mesosphere-with-satellite-based-missiledefense-brilliant-pebble-technology-will-

{ 13

JULIE DUNLAP

-save-us-all-from-death-something-something-federal-funding-something-RonaldReagan-something-shoot-them-downfrom-outer-space … ” Her eight-minute, one-breath argument left me speechless. And 100 percent positive we were all going to die if President Obama did not immediately order 50,000 (or whatever) defense satellites to protect us.

But the opposing team begged to differ.

“The-United-States-should-never-develop-this-type-of-technology-or-somethingsomething-retaliate-something-India-something-Iran-something-Missouri … ” Suddenly I felt less like calling the White House and more like sending “Thinking of You” cards to the Middle East and maybe even Missouri to prevent World War III. High school debaters are infinitely smarter than I am and can produce the evidence to prove it.

Back and forth they went quoting scientists, economists and (I think?) Jedi Knights.

By the end, only one thing was resolved for sure: Mr. P was correct. And he is a miracle worker, as are high school debate coaches around the country who enthusiastically turn these hormone-laden rookies into poised and knowledgeable debaters ready for any cable news moderator of today.

I still know nothing about space exploration, but I do know at least one teenager with whom you do not want to argue the topic.

Filtering shower water has been proven to reduce dry skin, increase softness and health of hair and eliminate chlorine and sulfur smells.

Filtered water can make showering more pleasant

I

f you have dry skin or notice a distinctive smell in your shower water, consider installing a shower water filter.

Filtering shower water has been proven to reduce dry skin, increase softness and health of hair and eliminate chlorine and sulfur smells that often plague household water systems.

Step 1: Choose the filter that is right for you. Shower water filters come in three basic styles. An inline filter can be attached to the existing shower arm, allowing for use of a standard shower head.

Other shower filters are contained within the shower head and completely replace the existing shower head. These self-contained shower filters are available in both wall-mount and hand-held options.

Step 2: Consider availability and cost of replacement filter cartridges. Most shower filters come with filter cartridges that will need to be replaced every six months. For households with frequent shower use, these filters may need to be replaced more often. It is a good idea to purchase the shower filter from a source that will stand by the product and offer long-term availability of replacement cartridges.

Step 3: Read the manufacturer’s instructions before installing the filter. It may be necessary to open the filter and remove the cartridge from its protective

packaging before installing the filter. Most filters require pre-soaking or recommend a specific amount of water be run through the shower head to activate the carbon or charcoal filter medium.

Step 4: With the water turned off in the shower, hold the shower arm firmly with one hand and unscrew the existing shower head, turning the coupling nut (located above the swivel portion of the head) counterclockwise. It may be helpful to use an adjustable wrench or locking pliers to facilitate this process.

Step 5: Clean the threads of the shower arm and wrap them clockwise, with one or two layers of white Teflon tape.

Step 6: Hand-tighten the shower filter or filtered shower head onto the shower arm. Do not over-tighten the filter or shower head.

Step 7: If installing a shower filter, rather than a filtered shower head, screw the old shower head onto the open end of the filter housing.

Step 8: Turn the shower water on and check for leaks. Tighten the shower filter or filtered head further if necessary.

Step 9: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to activate the shower filter and enjoy!

Massachusetts woman defends cupcake PEABODY, MASS. (AP) — A Massachusetts woman says federal safety officials are mischaracterizing a frosted cupcake in a jar that was confiscated from her at a Las Vegas airport.

The Transportation Security Administration says it considered the icing on the cupcake a gel exceeding

the 3-ounce limit for airline carry-on luggage. The limit is designed to stop terrorists seeking to evade detection by using explosives made of plastics, liquids or gels.

The TSA says in a blog post the cupcake taken last month had a thick layer of icing inside the jar.

But Peabody resident Rebecca Hains said Wednesday her jar consisted of three layers of cupcake, each topped with a medium layer of icing, not a thick layer.

The bakery that makes the red velvet cupcake has renamed it National (Security) Velvet.

SUSAN WACHTER, KU ATHLETICS’ CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, is retiring from the position this year. She oversaw a budget of $4.5 million when she first took over the books at the athletics department in 1980; that budget has grown to $67 million today.

KU Athletics accounts for largest chunk of Susan Wachter’s career

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Editor’s note: This is another in an occasional series of stories by reporter Andy Hyland, asking Kansas University staff to share “16 Things I’ve Done.” This week, we talked with Susan Wachter, the chief financial officer for Kansas Athletics, who plans to retire this year.

though she’s a “Jayhawk through and through” today, she grew up rooting for that other team to the east.

2. Took physical education classes in junior high from future NBA head coach Cotton Fitzsimmons, who was serving as the head basketball coach at Moberly Junior College.

3. Worked in the food industry growing up for her father, who owned several restaurants.

Wachter did a little bit of everything, including waitressing, busing tables, doing dishes and even a small bit of cooking.

“If you don’t finish your degree, you’ll always have this to fall back

on,” she remembered her father telling her. “I said, ‘Dad, I’m going to go get my college degree.’”

Diana Jurik left home at 12.

She was an alcoholic by 14 and a school dropout by 16. By 36 she had been in prison five times and convicted of nine felonies.

But age 37 has been different. Jurik is working and staying clean. She is going to school and learning there are people in the world who care about her.

“I feel like somebody worth something,” she said, sitting between the two women she credits with much of her success.

The women are Dot Fernandez and Cindy Manske, co-founders of Freedom Foundation Ministries. Since last June, they have been holding life-skills classes for women in Topeka Correctional Facility and pairing them

with mentors for when they are released. The group also offers optional religious services.

“It’s important for them to have that support from somebody who doesn’t want anything from them,” Fernandez said.

After Jurik was released from prison last April, Fernandez helped her get a job at a restaurant and enroll in cosmetology school in Topeka. She has also helped Jurik avoid her old way of life, which included alcohol abuse and bad relationships. She was convicted multiple times for forgery and drug possession.

Jurik said she has had one addiction relapse since being released from prison. In the past, that would have been the beginning of a downward spiral that

From the kitchen to the field, Winsor wants to share what it means to be a farm woman as part of a program geared toward dispelling misconceptions about conventional farming. Winsor is part of a campaign backed by the United Soybean Board and the National Corn Growers Association called CommonGround.

The goal is to cultivate conversations between the women who grow food and the women who buy it.

A Kansas University scholar will publish a new biography on a man whom civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. called his spiritual mentor.

Randal Jelks, associate professor of American studies at KU, has written “Benjamin Elijah Mays: Schoolmaster of the Movement,” which is scheduled for release in April by the University of North Carolina Press.

Mays, the child of forJelks mer slaves, met King while Mays was serving as president of Morehouse College in Atlanta.

Jelks said King came to the college at age 15, and Mays took him under his wing.

“Your knowledge of American history would be impoverished if you didn’t know about someone like Benjamin Mays,” Jelks said.

Mays also was a scholar in his own right, publishing nine books, including an autobiography. He met Mohandas Gandhi in India and would become an advocate for nonviolent resistance during the civil rights movement.

In addition to King, several other graduates from Morehouse during Mays’ presidency became leaders, including Lerone Bennett, executive editor of Ebony magazine for 40 years; Maynard H. Jackson, the first black mayor of Atlanta; and Herman Cain, the former Republican presidential candidate and former Godfather’s Pizza executive.

ured that out, she said.

“From a job standpoint, it’s probably the job I loved the most,” Wachter said, though she only did it for a short time.

13. Met her husband on a blind date when they went to see “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” on a Friday night, and went to a KU-MU football game the next day in Lawrence in 1969. “I was in black and gold,” she admitted. KU lost 69-21, or, as her husband, John, says, 10-3. He just counted the touchdowns.

14. Served as a member of the NCAA review team on certification visits for other schools, including at Arizona State, Idaho, Temple and Buffalo. “I enjoyed those trips,” she said. “You could learn a lot from other schools and how they were doing things.”

15. Served in several leadership roles at the College Athletics Business Management Association, a professional group for people in similar roles at colleges and universities across the country, including a term as president. The first vice president’s job was harder, though, she said. That person had to arrange the program for the conference, including finding a speaker.

16. Made plans to spend retirement working part time, spending time with her two grandchildren, 3-year-old Henry and 1-year-old Landry, and enjoying some golf.

where the hours were more manageable: No more than 55 hours per week at the smaller firm, she said.

8. Traveled ahead of the football team on all road games and with the men’s basketball team during the tournament at the beginning of her career with athletics.

She helped arrange hotels, meals and other financial expenses for the teams. Today, officials with the teams handle those kinds of arrangements themselves.

9. Watched a bus on one of those trips crash into the team plane on a football road trip to play Auburn in 1987. No one was hurt, she remembered then-coach Bob Valesente being very thankful about that.

KU still lost the game, 49-0.

10. Oversaw a budget of $4.5 million when she first took over the books at the athletics department in 1980.

11. Oversees a budget of $67 million today, nearly 15 times the amount in 1980.

12. Taught accounting classes for a year at Pittsburg State while her husband was going to law school in Topeka. The school wanted her to teach a governmental accounting course, an area with which she wasn’t familiar.

LAVELL WINSOR IS PICTURED with her husband, Andy Winsor, and their 1-year-old son, Brayden, on Friday on their farm outside of Grantville. LaVell is one of several women in the state who participate in CommonGround, a woman-to-woman group that works to dispel misconceptions about farming. Winsor would like others to understand her belief that the overwhelming majority of farming in the country is done by family operations rather than corporations.

Farm CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

this month, farm women had dinner with academics, media and government officials in Lawrence before the Kansas University and K-State women’s basketball game to talk about farming.

“We aren’t trying to tell anyone how to eat,” Winsor said. “But we would like them to know what actually happens on our farm.”

Winsor lives near Grantville on a corn and soybean farm with her husband, Andy, 1-year-old son, Brayden, and 16-year-old son, Kade. Andy is a third-generation farmer in the area and farms with his brother and father.

Among the misinformation Winsor would like to counter is that corporations are growing the nation’s food.

“If you look at the statistics, it’s like 96 percent of (farms) are family-owned,” Winsor said. “The family is there working day to day.”

Winsor is one of four women in the state who

Freedom

have volunteered to share their experience of farm life, mostly through blogs, Facebook and Twitter. The other farm women are from Alton, Ulysses and Clay Center.

On Winsor’s blog, http:// growingfortomorrow.wordpress.com, she has written about everything from the need to improve agriculture production to meet a growing world population, to hot chocolate recipes. One of the more popular posts was an explanation of how soybeans are harvested. The post came with photos of a combine in action, the unloading of grain and the family taking a snack break out of the back of a minivan.

Winsor was surprised by how many of her friends were interested in the process.

“This is what we do everyday, but people have no idea how that works,” she said.

Winsor, who married her husband eight years ago, has been around agriculture all her life.

She grew up on a wheat, barley, cattle and hog farm in eastern Colorado, majored in agribusiness at Colorado State University and worked

Progress lost Kansas was recently a model for helping people like Jurik.

In 2007, former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signed legislation to grant up to 60 days in reduced sentences for inmates who attended offender re-entry programs and appropriated $4 million in grants for communities with plans to reduce recidivism.

Kansas was among the top three states with the largest improvement in its recidivism rate from 2004-2007, according to a 2011 Pew Study, and its inmate population fell 5 percent from fiscal year 2006 fiscal to year 2009, according to the Kansas Legislative Research Department.

Gov. Sam Brownback, then a U.S. senator, championed

a bipartisan bill inspired by the Kansas law. It was later signed by President George W. Bush and became the Second Chance Act, which awarded grants to governments and organizations that helped offenders better return to society.

But Kansas’ fiscal woes have taken a toll on such programs, and the Kansas inmate population has been back on the rise. Every year since fiscal year 2009, there have been more people in Kansas prisons and jails than the year before. There were 9,186 prisoners in September 2011, the highest number in a decade.

It’s a trend the Department of Corrections worries will continue given current funding levels for offender programs. The Kansas Legislative Research Department included that concern in its 2012 legislators’ briefing book, a guide of issues provided to state lawmakers.

Fernandez believes her program is allowed access to the prison because of the state’s diminished ability to provide such services. But she praised Brownback, who has called for every Kansas inmate to have a mentor during the months before and after they are released.

for Cargill, where she helped advise farmers on when to sell grain. She is now a consultant at Loewen and Associates.

Even before becoming a part of CommonGround, Winsor was asking how farmers could inform others about agriculture.

“How can we get information out there, what can we do about this, how can we get more knowledge out on how (farming) actually happens in this area?” Winsor asked.

Along with the misconception of farms as corporate entities, Winsor said that few consumers realize the amount of safety regulations farmers have to follow.

And, while Winsor supports the concept of buying local foods, she also said there are great benefits to being able to buy food that comes from far away. The system is one that allows folks to eat fresh fruit and vegetables all year long.

“We want to have conversations; we want to educate people about what is going on, on the farm,” Winsor said.

BRIEFLY 3 Neb. residents killed in I-135 crash

Getting pooches to pay attention

MCPHERSON — Three Schuyler, Neb., residents are dead and two others were in critical condition after their SUV went off Interstate 135 north of McPherson and rolled several times.

The patrol says 45-year-old Martha Medina, 36-year-old Adrian Quezada and 10-year-old Daisy Medina Quezada were killed in the crash about 11:10 a.m. Saturday.

Wesley Medical Center in Wichita said Sunday afternoon that 26-year-old Augustina Medina and 4-year-old Natalie Medina were in critical condition, while 1-yearold Daniel Medina was in fair condition. A seventh person, 48-year-old Luis Medina, was not listed as a patient.

Corps gauging public knowledge of base KANSAS CITY, MO. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been gauging public understanding in the Kansas community of Salina about a site at the former Schilling Air Force base where there is possible contamination from chemical warfare training decades ago.

Tim Rogers, executive director of the Salina Airport Authority, where the site is located, said the investigation into possible contamination from chemical warfare training at Schilling is not related to ongoing negotiations between Salina and the federal government over groundwater contamination at the former base, which closed in the 1960s.

A Corps of Engineers contractor surveyed area officials recently to determine their interest in and knowledge of the site and its potential contamination from two types of chemicals used during training exercises more than 50 years ago.

The corps has been charged with investigating potential contamination at the former base’s gas instruction area. Diana McCoy, spokeswoman for the Army Corps of Engineers office in Kansas City, Mo., said in an email that there are no known contaminants at the site but that there could potentially be two types of chemical agents in the soil — toxic radiological waste and another material containing neat mustard agent, a chemical weapon that causes severe, painful but nonfatal blistering.

Man wants federal charges kept quiet WICHITA — A former Barber County public works director wants to keep pending federal theft charges against him quiet from potential employers.

Steven E. Collier is asking a federal judge to remove a condition of his pretrial release that requires his probation officer to make sure his supervisors are aware of the case against him. He’s accused of stealing vehicles and money from the county where he worked.

His attorney, Douglas Adams, told the court in the filing Friday that if the condition remains, Collier will become destitute.

Collier, 49, of Nashville, Kan., and his wife, Diana Collier, 58, of Medicine Lodge, were charged in November in an 11-count indictment. They face charges of theft, interstate transportation of stolen property and sale of stolen property involving trucks, a bulldozer, a tractor and other items from the county.

Who knew the right collar could make a dog more polite?

That’s what Greg Lyon learned a few years ago, when he began using electronic collars to train dogs. He now holds classes using the collars as part of his Mutts and Manners dog training business.

“It’s a very nonconfrontational type training,” Lyon said.

While electronic collars might conjure up images of an animal being cruelly shocked, the collars feel like low-powered pagers, not live wires.

buzz for a short amount of time. They are usually activated when an owner gives a command, as an extra signal to the dog.

“It’s not used for any kind of correction. It’s used to get the dog to pay attention, essentially,” Lyon said.

In decades past, choke chains and pinch collars were all the rage for dog training.

But those collars lack consistency because a person will always pull on the collar slightly differently.

“The dog doesn’t understand if it’s not consistent,” Lyon said.

Collars CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Lyon held an advanced class Saturday at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 2110 Harper St., where dogs were challenged not to be distracted by each other and to listen to their owners. The dogs succeeded for the most part, though at the end one did make a break for the door.

She came back after being called by her owner.

One of Lyon’s students said he had tried choke collars with his previous dog, but the electronic collar worked better. After about six months and a few 15-minute classes per week, he could take the dog on a walk without a leash.

“You can walk around with a dog that’s been trained on the collar and tap the button to change directions,” Lyon said. “It’s just like saying ‘come,’ but you don’t have to.”

NEW YORK — The price of natural gas is plummeting at a pace that has caught even the experts off guard.

A 35 percent collapse in the futures price over the past year has been a boon to homeowners who use natural gas for heat and appliances and to manufacturers who power their factories and make chemicals and materials with it.

The country is flush with natural gas as a result of new drilling techniques that have enabled energy companies to tap vast supplies that were out of reach not so long ago.

The country’s natural gas surplus has been growing even as the country burns record amounts.

This winter’s warm weather slowed the growth in demand, however, and created a glut. In the Northeast, December was the fourth warmest in the last 117 years. Winter supplies are 17 percent above their fiveyear average.

The natural gas futures price fell 13 percent last week, to $2.67 per 1,000 cubic feet.

That’s the lowest winter-time level in a decade.

SOUND OFF

Q:

Why don’t all of the countdown lights on Lawrence traffic signals turn yellow when they hit zero?

A:

Megan Gilliland, the city’s communications manager, provided this answer: While the countdown signals are for pedestrians, the yellow lights are for motorists. The pedestrian signals have to count down in case there is a motorist on a side street waiting when it gets to “0.” That may not always be the case, but the controller has to prepare for it. Motorists should not make driving decision based on pedestrian signals.

Kansas town of Elmo now quiet after a busy past

ELMO — It’s not all quiet in Elmo, although there isn’t much left.

HOSPITAL BIRTHS

Tale of two towns “There are none left to take us down memory lane to Banner City of 1886 and to Elmo of 1885; only faded photographs prevail,” Jeanne Bonfield, who documented the town’s history, stated in records.

Elmo’s past involves two towns: the “first” Elmo and Banner City, situated a mile away.

According to the book “Past and Present Towns of Dickinson County, Kansas”

by Helen Dingler, the first Elmo village consisted of six families within a quarter-mile radius of a country store. There also was a blacksmith shop. The town never had more than 100 people.

No one knows why it was named Elmo.

There was a post office at this site as early as December 1884, according to the Kansas State Historical Society.

However, according to information written by John Bonfield, the town was located on sloping ground. The railroad said it would be easier to put in a sidetrack and switches if the ground was level.

Thus, Banner City station was petitioned in 1886 one mile east of Elmo after the

— Former resident Bonnie Feeney, 94 railroad failed to go through Elmo, according to John Bonfield. Banner City was platted with 30 blocks.

Banner City had several businesses, including two implement dealerships, a couple of grocery stores, lumber yard, hotel, livery, hardware and elevator. Old Elmo’s post office moved to Banner City around 1887.

Banner City by name, however, was short-lived. Jackson and Trego counties both had towns named Banner, “which may have had some bearing upon the discontinuation of using Banner City postmarks in 1902.

“Because of the postal designation, Banner City became widely known as Elmo and eventually the Banner City name was forgotten,” according to Jeanne Bonfield’s written documentation.

According to state historical society postal records, there is no Banner City ever listed as having a postal office, only Elmo.

Elmo had a population of 225 in 1910, according to “Kansas: A Cyclopedia of State History,” published in 1912. This book called Elmo a “thriving little town of Dickinson County” that had a bank, grain elevator, money order post office with one rural route, express and telegraph offices, telephone connections, Catholic and Methodist churches and several stores.

In his memoirs, John Bonfield also said he recalled two grain elevators, two garages, two filling stations and an automobile dealer. There also was a restaurant, butcher, barber, doctor, hotel and general store.

Fossils galore Few Kansans are aware the state contains one of the most celebrated sites for Paleozoic insect fossils.

According to the Emporia State University publication, The Kansas School Naturalist, which published a pamphlet on the Elmo fossils, the site is a “fossil bonanza.”

Much of Kansas was a coastal plain at the edge of an inland sea during the Permian period, which scientists say was 245 to 280 million years ago.

In 1899, a man named Elias Sellerds, while working on his doctorate at Yale, discovered a well-preserved trove of insect fossils beneath the Kansas prairie in the limestone beds southeast of Elmo.

Over a few years, Sellerds collected more than 2,000 specimens, according to the Kansas School Naturalist publication.

Kansas State University possesses a 7 1/2 inch dragonfly wing, the largest ever found. And, according to another ESU publication, the Elmo site has produced tens of thousands of specimens, with more than 150 species of insects described.

Unfortunately for fossil hunters, according to a website managed by Roy Beckemeyer, Wichita, who wrote the Kansas School Naturalist publication on Elmo’s fossils, the landowners of the fossil

were determined to reunite the dog tags with their owners’ families. Their search led them to Rita Drake of El Paso, Ill., the granddaughter of one of the Americans who lost his dog tag. She helped return one of the dog tags to a Portage, Wis., family and placed a call to the Chase County Historical Society Museum as she searched for Potter’s family.

The museum tracked down Lincoln. She in turn called her uncle’s only son, Dale Potter, 75, of El Dorado, Kan. Dale Potter received his late father’s dog tags during a ceremony Thursday at the Chase County museum. He has agreed to loan the dog tag and pictures of his father to the museum for six months, Lincoln said.

site no longer allow access to it.

Gradual decline As the years went by, Feeney watched as the little town she called home began to wither away.

The bank closed in 1930, the school in 1963 and the post office in 1966, according to John Bonfield’s documents.

One by one, other businesses followed, with Feeney recalling when the grocery shuttered, noting it was somewhat of a surprise.

Yet, eventually even Feeney moved to Abilene.

The railroad tore up the tracks in the 1990s.

John Donnelly, whose great-grandfather homesteaded in the area, said he remembers a circus coming to town when he was a boy.

He also recalls going to the elevator and scooping coal into the back of a pickup to use on the farm. He attended first grade at Elmo the last year the town’s school was open.

An older couple lived in the hotel until it was eventually torn down, he said. There were two groceries when he was growing up, one on either side of the street.

But all those structures are long gone, except for a handful of homes, a couple of old buildings and a cemetery, which is still called Banner.

There also is the Catholic church, a town mainstay that has been in existence for more than a century. Donnelly said he and his wife, Linda, are among the small congregation that attends St. Columba every week.

People ask him “where is Elmo?” he said, when he tells folks where he lives. Fewer and fewer people have heard of the tiny hamlet.

Elmo’s demise, however, doesn’t surprise him, he said.

“There really isn’t anything out here to draw people to work,” he said.

CRUISE LINER CRASH

Captain’s conduct blasted as more found dead

By Gregorio Borgia and Nicole Winfield Associated Press

GIGLIO, ITALY — Maritime authorities, passengers and mounting evidence pointed Sunday toward the captain of a cruise liner that ran aground and capsized off the Tuscan coast, amid accusations that he abandoned ship before everyone was safely evacuated and was showing off when he steered the vessel far too close to shore.

Divers searching the murky depths of the partially submerged Costa Concordia found the bodies of two elderly men still in their life jackets, bringing the confirmed death toll to five. At least 15 people were still missing, including two Americans.

The recovered bodies were discovered at an emergency gathering point near the restaurant where many of the 4,200 on board were dining when the luxury liner struck

rocks or a reef off the tiny island of Giglio. The Italian news agency ANSA reported the dead were an Italian and a Spaniard.

Still, there were glimmers of hope: The rescue of three survivors — a young South Korean couple on their honeymoon and a crew member brought to shore in a dramatic airlift some 36 hours after the grounding late Friday.

Meanwhile, attention focused on the captain, who was spotted by Coast Guard officials and passengers fleeing the scene even as the chaotic and terrifying evacuation was under way.

The ship’s Italian owner, a subsidiary of Carnival Cruise lines, issued a statement late Sunday saying there appeared to be “significant human error” on the part of the captain, Francesco Schettino, “which resulted in these grave consequences.”

Authorities were holding Schettino for suspected man-

slaughter and a prosecutor confirmed Sunday they were also investigating allegations the captain abandoned the stricken liner before all the passengers had escaped. According to the Italian navigation code, a captain who abandons a ship in danger can face up to 12 years in prison.

A French couple who boarded the Concordia in Marseille, Ophelie Gondelle and David Du Pays, told the Associated Press they saw the captain in a lifeboat, covered by a blanket, well before all the passengers were off the ship.

“The commander left before and was on the dock before everyone was off,” said Gondelle, 28, a French military officer.

“Normally the commander should only leave at the end,” said Du Pays, a police officer who said he helped an injured passenger to a rescue boat. “I did what I could.”

Coast Guard officers later spotted Schettino on land as

the evacuation unfolded. The officers urged him to return to his ship and honor his duty to stay aboard until everyone was safely off the vessel, but he ignored them, Coast Guard Cmdr. Francesco Paolillo said.

Schettino insisted he didn’t leave the liner early, telling Mediaset television that he had done everything he could to save lives. “We were the last ones to leave the ship,” he said.

Questions also swirled about why the ship had navigated so close to the dangerous reefs and rocks that jut off Giglio’s eastern coast, amid suspicions the captain may have ventured too close while carrying out a maneuver to entertain tourists on the island.

The ship’s owner, Costa Crociere SpA, issued a statement late Sunday saying it was working with investigators to determine “precisely what went wrong aboard the Costa Concordia.”

LIGHTS ILLUMINATE THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. MEMORIAL as dusk approaches in Washington, on Aug. 23, 2011.

Towering legend, flawed man? MLK’s image evolving

By Brett Zongker and Samantha Gross Associated Press

WASHINGTON — On the National Mall in Washington, Martin Luther King Jr. is a towering, heroic figure carved in stone. On the Broadway stage, he’s a living, breathing man who chain smokes, sips liquor and occasionally curses.

As Americans honor King’s memory 44 years after he was assassinated, the image of the slain civil rights leader is evolving.

The memorial The new King memorial, which opened in August in the nation’s capital, celebrates the ideals King espoused. Quotations from his speeches and writings conjure memories of his message, and a 30-foot-tall sculpture depicts King emerging as a “stone of hope” from a “mountain of despair,” a design inspired by a line of his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.

Some gaze upon this figure in silence. Some smile and pull out cellphone cameras. Others chat about how closely the statue resembles King. And some are moved to tears.

“Just all that this man did so that we could do anything and be anything,” said Brandolyn Brown, 26, of Cheraw, S.C., who visited the memorial Saturday with her aunt and cousin.

“I know it took a lot more than him to get to where we are, but he was a big part of the movement.”

Brown’s aunt, Gloria Drake, 60, of Cheraw, S.C., said she remembers King almost as though he was Moses leading his people to the promised land, even when there were so many reasons to doubt things would get better in an era of segregated buses, schools and lunch counters.

“It was really just hostile,” she said. “ ... And then we had a man that comes to tell us things are going to be better.”

“Don’t be mad, don’t be angry,” she recalled King’s message. “Just come together in peace.”

They said King’s lasting legacy is the reality of equality and now having a black president. Drake said President Barack Obama reminds her of King with his “calmness” even in the face of anger.

The stage On Broadway, theatergoers are seeing a different version of King — one that is more man than legend.

The realism was refreshing for Donya Fairfax, who marveled after leaving a matinee of “The Mountaintop” that she had never really thought of King cursing, as actor Samuel L. Jackson does while portraying King in the play.

“He was human and not someone who was above fault,” said the 48-year-old, visiting from Los Angeles.

“He cursed. He did things that people do behind closed doors. He was regular.”

For some, such a portrayal would seem to chip away at King’s memory. But for Natalie Pertz, who at 20 has come to know King only through the gauzy view of history, it seemed a precious reminder that it is not beyond the reach of the ordinary and the flawed to effect change.

“It’s important for people our age to see that he wasn’t this saint-like figure,” she said. “It’s making you see that just because you’re not perfect, it doesn’t mean you can’t do good.”

For M.E. Ward, seeing an in-the-flesh incarnation of King brought her back more than 40 years, to when she watched his soaring speeches on the television. No matter how human he seemed on stage, she said, he still carried a godly gift.

“Still charismatic, still an orator, and an individual who was able to move people through his speech,” she said, adding that King enlightened the world with a message “to be peaceful, to be patient, to be non-violent.”

No matter how distant his presence is now, that legacy is still very relevant, she said, in what she called “a world of turmoil and violence, constant violence.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A splintered conservative vote in South Carolina could pave the way for Mitt Romney to win this week’s pivotal primary, some rivals said Sunday, acknowledging an outcome that prominent state lawmakers suggested could end the nomination fight.

“I think the only way that a Massachusetts moderate can get through South Carolina is if the vote is split,” said Newt Gingrich, portraying himself as the lone conservative with a “realistic chance” of beating Romney in the first-inthe South contest.

Polls show Romney, the former Massachusetts governors who struggled to a fourth-place finish in South Carolina during his 2008 White House run, with a lead heading into Saturday’s vote. The state has a large population of evangelicals and other conservative Christians, and concerns arose four years ago about his Mormon faith.

But Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry all said Romney, after victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, continued to benefit from the fractured GOP field and the failure of social conservatives to fully coalesce around a single alternative.

“If for some reason he’s not derailed here and Mitt Romney wins South Carolina, ... I think it should be over,” said the state’s senior senator, Republican Lindsey Graham.

He added, “I’d hope the party would rally around him if he did in fact win South Carolina.”

Santorum said South Carolina is “not going to be the final issue” and spoke of the “need to get this eventually down to a conservative alternative” to Romney. “When we get it down to a two-person race, we have an excellent opportunity to win this race,” said the former Pennsylvania senator who won the endorsement of an influential group of social conser-

U.N. chief says Assad must stop violence BEIRUT — The U.N. chief demanded Sunday that Syria’s president stop killing his people and said the “old order” of one-man rule and family dynasties is over in the Middle East on a day when activists said 27 people died.

Secretary-General Ban Kimoon, delivering the keynote address at a conference in Beirut on democracy in the Arab world, said the revolutions of the Arab Spring show people will no longer accept tyranny.

“Today, I say again to President (Bashar) Assad of Syria: Stop the violence. Stop killing your people,” Ban said.

Ban has been highly critical of the Assad government’s deadly crackdown on civilian protesters since the killings began — unlike the U.N. Security Council. That body is deeply divided. The U.S. and European nations demand strong condemnation and possible sanctions against Assad, but Russia and China are opposed.

Perry: Marines in video are ‘kids’ WASHINGTON — Republican presidential hopeful Rick Perry on Sunday accused the Obama administraPerry tion of “over-the-top rhetoric” and “disdain for the military” in its condemnation of a video that purportedly shows four Marines urinating on corpses in Afghanistan.

Perry’s comments put him at odds with Sen. John McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, who said the images could damage the war effort.

“The Marine Corps prides itself that we don’t lower ourselves to the level of the enemy,” McCain said when asked about Perry’s position. vatives and evangelical leaders Saturday in Texas.

Perry, the Texas governor, said it was “our intention” to compete in the next contest, Florida’s primary Jan. 31, even if he finished last in South Carolina.

Gingrich said he would “reassess” his candidacy if he lost in South Carolina and acknowledged that a Romney victory would mean “an enormous advantage going forward.”

The former House speaker appealed for the support of “every conservative who wants to have a conservative nominee.”

“I hope every conservative will reach the conclusion that to vote for anybody but Gingrich is, in fact, to help Romney win the nomination,” he said.

Tanker carrying fuel arrives at Alaska town

Petty Officer 2nd Class Charly Hengen/U.S. Coast Guard/AP Photo

THE COAST GUARD ICE BREAKER HEALY GUIDES THE RUSSIAN TANKER RENDA closer to the fuel transfer mooring point Saturday in this image provided by the U.S. Coast Guard. Crews worked to build a path Sunday over a half-mile of Bering Sea ice for the final leg of the Russian tanker’s mission to deliver fuel to a town isolated amid one of the most severe Alaska winters in decades. The tanker got into position Saturday night, and ice disturbed by its journey had to freeze again so workers could create some sort of roadway to lay a hose that will transfer 1.3 million gallons of fuel from the tanker to the harbor in Nome.

On Sunday, workers spent the morning walking around the vessel and checking the ice to make sure it was safe to lay the hose, which will take about four hours, said Jason Evans, board chairman of the Sitnasuak Native Corp.

Enforcement challenge The city has new tools to enforce occupancy limits on rental housing, but enforcement still will be a challenge.

L

awrence city commissioners certainly are talking tougher when it comes to cracking down on problem landlords in the city.

Of course, the talking is the easy part.

City commissioners recently approved a new ordinance that gives the city far greater authority to deny applications for rental licenses, if the city has evidence the applicant has been a problem landlord in the past. The new ordinance even allows the city to declare problem properties ineligible for use as a rental unit for up to two years. Landlords who live 40 miles or more outside the city limits will be required to hire a local resident agent who can serve as a point of contact when problems arise at their properties. A $500 fine also has been added to the mix of possible penalties.

Those changes have pleased many neighborhood residents who put up with houses that are overcrowded and produce excessive noise, litter and parking problems.

But it is worth remembering that when it comes to rentals, City Hall’s problem never has been an inability to write new regulations.

More than a decade ago, the city took the bold step of making it illegal for more than three unrelated adults to live in a single-family rental home. The ordinance was greeted with enthusiasm by the same neighbors who are enthusiastic now. But the city quickly found the ordinance was difficult to enforce.

Perhaps there are reasons to be more optimistic about the most recent regulation changes. The city has created a strategy that relies more heavily on the ability of city staff members and the City Commission to hand out penalties to problem landlords, rather than relying on the city’s Municipal Court system to do that. Such a system has the potential for abuse and inconsistencies, but it is worth trying and monitoring closely. There are many single-family neighborhoods in the city that are in real need of stability.

But one thing is certain: This new ordinance won’t enforce itself. City staff members are dedicated individuals who will work to enforce the new regulations. But their efforts must be matched by the political will — and resources — of the City Commission, and a dedication to fairly administer these new penalties.

Anything less will be a City Hall failure that will be felt in neighborhoods across the city.

Bureaucracy mires port improvements CHARLESTON, S.C. — Thanks to globalization, and to containerized shipping that began in 1956 and makes globalization work, commodities swiftly move vast distances around the planet. Wal-Mart alone imports 400,000 containers a year. Trade flows can, however, be deflected or even defeated by a distance of just five feet. Herewith a story of the high costs of a few feet and of too many years required for our nation’s increasingly sluggish public processes to move.

This city’s port, the East Coast’s fourth busiest (1.38 million shipping containers a year), is 45 feet deep. But in two years the Panama Canal will open a larger set of locks capable of handling ships 50 percent wider and with deeper drafts than today’s “Panamax” ships — the largest that can currently transit the canal.

The first container ship reached Charleston in 1966, carrying 600 containers. Today the port receives ships carrying more than 9,000. By 2014, there will be 1,200 “post-Panamax” ships — marvels of naval architecture, floating mountains — built for commerce after the canal widening. They will carry up to 18,000 containers. The widening, says Jim Newsome, CEO of the South Carolina State Ports Authority, will be “the biggest game-changer in the history of containerization.”

Charleston could be out of the game, with huge anti-competitive consequences for the burgeoning manufacturing and exporting

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which must do the dredging, says, on the basis of preliminary studies of other harbors, that the harbor in Charleston ‘would probably be the cheapest South Atlantic harbor to deepen to 50 feet.’”

industries of the Southeast — BMW, Michelin, General Electric (turbines) and others in South Carolina alone. By 2014, twothirds of the world’s container capacity will be carried by ships bigger than the unwidened canal could handle. Some things are moving rapidly.

There are four southeastern ports along 400 miles of Atlantic coast — Wilmington, N.C., Charleston, Savannah and Jacksonville — but none is 50 feet deep. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which must do the dredging, says, on the basis of preliminary studies of other har-

bors, that the harbor in Charleston “would probably be the cheapest South Atlantic harbor to deepen to 50 feet.”

Determining the feasibility of such projects typically takes five to eight years even if expedited (10 years or longer if not). Perhaps Congress could require globalization to pause while America studies things. Or perhaps postPanamax vessels will be willing to loiter offshore a decade or so.

The federal government would pay $120 million, South Carolina $180 million. The $300 million — a sum equal to a rounding error on the General Motors bailout — would be quickly recouped as the deepened port delivered more than $100 million in net benefits annually. Today, 70 percent of imports from Asia arrive at West Coast ports and are distributed inland by truck and rail. But shipping is the cheapest transportation per mile and will become cheaper with post-Panamax ships, including those coming here.

Newsome says the study for deepening Savannah’s harbor was made in 1999. It is 2012 and studies for the environmental impact statement are not finished. When they are, the project will take five years to construct. “But before that,” he says laconically, “they’re going to be sued by groups concerned about the environmental impact.” A Newsome axiom — that institutions become risk averse as they get challenged — is increasingly pertinent as America changes from a nation that cel-

ebrated getting things done to a nation that celebrates people and groups who prevent things from being done.

Newsome says that because of labor costs — in constructing and crewing ships — America has essentially no deep-sea shipping industry. This is a facet of the de-industrialization of the nation. But the nation is currently enjoying a renewed export boom, which accelerates the need for deep harbors.

The huge project of widening the Panama Canal began in 2006; it will be completed in eight years.

Newsome, who is unstinting in his praise of the Army Corps, knows it must comply with ever-thickening layers of laws. But even if we stipulate that all these laws are wonderful, we should also stipulate that surely things would move faster if the nation faced an emergency. Such as economic enfeeblement.

The Empire State Building was built in 14 months during the Depression, the Pentagon in 16 in wartime. The aircraft carrier Yorktown, which earned 11 battle stars in the Pacific and now is anchored here, was built in less than 17 months, back when America was serious about moving forward. Is it necessary to take eight years — just two years less than it took to build the Panama Canal with yellow fever and without computers — to deepen this harbor five feet?

U.S., Iran need back channel to communicate WASHINGTON — As the United States and Iran move closer toward open confrontation, it’s important that both take quiet steps to avoid the miscalculations and misunderstandings that can lead to an inadvertent military conflict.

It’s been done before: During the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, President Kennedy used a back channel to communicate American resolve to the Soviets, and also explore a formula for settlement. The key points of contact were his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, and the Soviet ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Dobrynin. That exchange helped avoid nuclear war.

Washington and Tehran today lack any similar means of communication in a crisis. Since the embassy takeover that followed the Iranian revolution of 1979, the two nations haven’t had diplomatic recognition. They communicate indirectly, through the Swiss embassy, which is inadequate.

So here’s a proposal in this period of deepening crisis: The U.S. and Iran should explore the possibility of direct contact through the sort of back channel that nations use to communicate urgent messages — namely, their intelligence services. Through this contact, each side could communicate its “red lines” in the crisis — for the U.S., the insistence that Iran’s nuclear program remain peaceful; for Iran, presumably, an end to sanctions and a recognition that Iran is a significant regional power.

My nominees for this back-

David Ignatius

davidignatius@washpost.com

“

The U.S. and Iran should explore the possibility of direct contact through the sort of back channel that nations use to communicate urgent messages — namely, their intelligence services.”

channel contact would be two people who have been circling each other warily for the past half-dozen years: Gen. David Petraeus, director of the CIA, and Gen. Qassem Suleimani, the head of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. These two are said to have communicated indirectly in the past about red lines in the Iraq conflict, when Petraeus was commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad and Suleimani was the de-facto chief of Iranian activities in Iraq.

Some would argue that as head of the Quds Force, Suleimani is the heart of the problem — and therefore an inappropriate liaison. U.S. officials believe, for example, that Suleimani was

probably aware of the plot to kill Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir that was alleged by the Justice Department in October. But precisely because Suleimani heads Iran’s most powerful intelligence network, messages through him would carry special weight.

An intelligence channel might address the problem that has frustrated past efforts to engage Iran — which is the lack of an authoritative intermediary. An offer made by one faction in Tehran is disavowed by another.

That’s what happened in the fall of 2009, when President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad signaled his willingness to accept a formula for enriching uranium outside the country. But he didn’t have support from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose allies immediately began attacking the deal. It quickly collapsed.

Suleimani would be a potent contact because he reports directly to the supreme leader, and his Quds Force role trumps Ahmadinejad. Though Suleimani commands ruthless operations, he is said to be reserved and articulate in meetings. I’ve likened him in past columns to John le Carre’s fictional Russian spymaster, “Karla.” An important question, if a back channel were ever seriously considered, is whether Suleimani’s connection with the Iranian nuclear program is significant enough to make him a reliable intermediary.

The time for communication may be running out. Economic sanctions are creating a worsen-

ing crisis for Iran, one that is a potential threat to the regime’s survival. And more potent sanctions are on the way. Meanwhile, Israel, the U.S. and other allied nations are conducting covert actions against the Iranian nuclear program.

Iran called the assassination this week of one of its nuclear scientists another in a series of “malicious terrorist attacks.” At some point, the Iranians may conclude that the broad pressure campaign, overt and covert, means that a state of undeclared war exists — and respond in kind.

The Obama administration’s squeeze on Iran has been powerful, but also carefully calibrated.

U.S. officials insist that America had nothing to do with the recent killing of Iranian scientists, for example, and their denials are credible in part because it would be so difficult for the CIA to direct motorcycle assassins in North Tehran.

The pressure campaign has international support, and there’s no reason to stop it. But this is a moment when a U.S. emissary should make clear that Iran has a choice — it can seek to be a nuclear-weapons power, or remain an oil power, but not both — and communicate that to someone who can report directly to Ayatollah Khamenei.

As in the Cuban missile crisis, the message should be one of resolve — and of a desire for a settlement that avoids war.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Dreamin’ until tonight’s tipoff Close your eyes and picture places you might want to be at 8:30 p.m. today.

Walking down the 18th fairway in Maui, where the sun still will be shining brightly on the island.

Teeing off on the first hole in Australia, hoping a lonesome kangaroo doesn’t wander onto the course as one once did in the Australian PGA as Rory Sabbatini sized up a shot.

Hanging out with Hugh Hefner at the mansion pool wearing shades and having grapes ever-so-slowly fed to me.

Dream scenarios, yet they all compete for second place.

If I could choose to be anywhere tonight, it would be sitting in Allen Fieldhouse, watching undefeated underdog Baylor take on thrice-beaten favorite Kansas in a clash between the lone remaining Big 12 teams without a conference loss.

Tangible basketball reasons favor Baylor. The intangibles are on the side of Kansas.

Baylor (17-0) will be ranked third in the nation by the time the game tips off, Kansas somewhere in the top 10.

This is ninth-year Baylor coach Scott Drew’s best team in the same school year the Bears have the Heisman Trophy winner, Robert Griffin III, and the nation’s best women’s basketball player, Brittney Griner.

Starting Nov. 5, when Griffin III threw for 406 yards and three touchdowns to defeat Missouri, 42-39, Baylor has a 40-0 record in the three sports.

That remarkable winning streak faces its toughest test tonight.

Kansas has more drive and the best player in the game, Thomas Robinson; Baylor the superior depth, size and shooting.

To appreciate the Bears’ depth, consider that junior guard A.J. Walton played 33 minutes a game last season, 20.4 this year. Senior forward Anthony Jones played 26.6 minutes a game as a sophomore, 29.8 as a junior, 17.9 this season.

Pierre Jackson, a 5-10 juniorcollege transfer, doesn’t start but gets the majority of minutes at point guard. He ranks second in the Big 12 in steals (1.9) and three-point percentage (.492) and fifth in assists. Boston College transfer Brady Heslip is third with a .481 long-range accuracy rate.

On the front line, senior jumping jack Quincy Acy (second to Jeff Withey with 2.4 blocks a game) joins McDonald’s All-Americans Perry Jones III, a sophomore, and freshman Quincy Miller.

Last season’s leading scorer LaceDarius Dunn, who could get a shot off whenever he wanted, which was pretty much whenever he touched the ball, and his 19.6 ppg are gone and in some ways forgotten.

“One thing about LaceDarius (Dunn), he was hard to guard, but it made others easier to guard,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “Now there’s more balance.

I think they’re harder to guard as a team than they were last year.”

Baylor, noted for its 2-3 zone, has mixed in more man-to-man defense and had great results with it in a road victory against Kansas State. But unless KU can shoot Baylor out of its zone, the Jayhawks won’t see as much man.

This isn’t Self’s best team, but it might be his grittiest. And then there is the best homecourt advantage in basketball.

Seconds will feel like hours as the clock crawls toward 8:30.

TONIGHT’S BIG MONDAY GAME BETWEEN KANSAS UNIVERSITY AND BAYLOR COULD FEATURE an interesting game-within-the-game between KU’s Thomas Robinson, No. 0 in photo at left, and Baylor’s Perry Jones III, No. 1 in photo at right.

Big-name big men to meet on Big Monday

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self worked at Kansas University — as a graduate assistant — the last time a visiting Big 12/ Big Eight team came to Allen Fieldhouse with an unblemished overall record.

One has to go back to Jan. 21, 1986, when No. 5-ranked Oklahoma (17-0) was taken down by No. 7-rated KU, 98-92.

Today, a mere 26 years later, No. 4 Baylor carries an identical 17-0, 4-0 record into Allen for an 8:30 p.m. showdown against the No. 10 Jayhawks (14-3, 4-0).

“I think we’ll be really excited playing on Martin Luther King Day in a Big Monday game. Getting Vitale (Dick, ESPN) and those cats in here ... I think does add to it,” ninth-year KU head coach Self said of what figures to be a huge hoops happening.

“Our guys will be geeked up and ready to go, no question.”

KU, which leads the all-time series against Baylor, 16-2 — BEWARE Self is 8-2 verOF BEARS sus the Bears; Baylor coach Scott Drew is 1-8 Who: No. 4 against the Jay- Baylor (17-0 hawks — will be overall, 4-0 facing one of the Big 12) vs. No. most talented 10 Kansas (14teams in Baylor 3, 4-0) history tonight. When: 8:30 “I don’t know tonight how many NBA Where: Allen guys they’ve got, Fieldhouse but they’ve got TV: ESPN more than they (cable chanever have,” Self nels 33, 233) said.

Draftexpress. com believes 6-foot-11 sophomore Perry Jones III (13.8 ppg, 7.7 rpg) will be the No. 5 overall pick in the

2012 NBA Draft and 6-9 freshman Quincy Miller (11.7 ppg, 5.3 rpg) the No. 12 selection. Quincy Acy, a 6-7 senior (12.3 ppg, 6.9 rpg), is a major talent with 40 blocked shots, while 5-10 juco transfer Pierre Jackson averages 12.3 points and 5.1 assists. Brady Heslip, a 6-2 sophomore, averages 10.5 ppg.

“They are terrific,” Self said of a BU team off to the best start in school history. The Bears join Murray State and Syracuse as the only remaining undefeated teams in Div. I this season.

“They play (2-3) zone. It’s different. We can’t simulate their length in practice. I wish we had more than one day to prepare for their zone,” Self added.

BU has used some man-to-man defense this season as well.

“They start in zone. They are mixing it up pretty well,” Self said.

As to how KU will try to attack,

KU football lands three juco pledges

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With less than three weeks remaining before national signing day, Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis and his new coaching staff continue to make up for lost time by landing commitments in a hurry.

And their moves seem to be in direct contrast to the way Weis’ predecessor, Turner Gill, went about building his program.

Saturday night, the Jayhawks learned that juniorcollege All-American running

back Taylor Cox and juniorcollege wide receiver Josh Aishah Sutherland Ford had orally pledged their 24 points, 9 reb. services to KU. Sunday, junior-college tight end Charles Brooks decided to join them. All three were former three-star prospects, according to Rivals.com.

Gill did not bring in his first juco player until his second year in town.

In landing the three juniorcollege players, Weis adds both experience and talent to a KU Carolyn Davis Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B 24 points, 8 reb.

Self said: “The more length they have, it seems to me the harder you have to take it at them. You can’t shy from contact or they’ll end up blocking everything. I hope we can get the ball inside the zone and not settle.”

The Jayhawks enter as 51⁄2-point favorites.

“I think it’s going to be a good game. I’m excited for this game,” said KU senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor, who exploded for 28 points in Saturday’s 82-73 victory over Iowa State at Allen Fieldhouse.

Baylor, meanwhile, crushed Oklahoma State, 106-65, Saturday in Waco, Texas, behind Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year Jones’ 19 points and 12 rebounds.

Miller had 21 points and Jackson 18 points, including five of BU’s 15 threes.

Kansas women thump MU, 72-63 J-W Staff and Wire Reports

COLUMBIA, MO. — Forwards Aishah Sutherland and Carolyn Davis combined for 48 points and powered Kansas University’s women’s basketball team to a 72-63 victory Sunday in their final Border War trip to Columbia in the foreseeable future.

Missouri is leaving the Big 12 for the SEC after this season, bringing an end to the Border War rivalry.

Sutherland tied a careerhigh as she poured in 24 points on 9-for-11 shooting. She was

also perfect in all six attempts from the foul line and was just shy of a double-double with a team-high nine rebounds. Davis added 24 points for her seventh contest with 20 or more points this season.

Kansas improved to 3-1 in the Big 12 for the first time since the 1999-2000 season and 14-2 overall. MU fell to 10-5, 0-4.

The Jayhawks finished the contest 28-for-53 from the floor (52.8 percent) for its top fieldgoal percentage in Big 12 play Please see KU WOMEN, page 3B

Muhammad Ali still fighting at 70 The Associated Press

“Rumble, young man, rumble,� used to be his battle cry.

But Muhammad Ali is an old man now, ravaged by his years in the ring and his decades of braving Parkinson’s disease. The voice that used to bellow that he was “The Greatest� is largely muted now, save for those times in the mornings when he is able to whisper his thoughts.

The face, though, is still that of the most recognizable man on earth. Maybe not as finely chiseled as it was in his prime, but close enough. “It’s not like he doesn’t look like himself,� said his oldest daughter, Maryum “May May� Ali. “It’s the same face, the Parkinson’s hasn’t affected that.’�

Ali turns 70 on Tuesday, giving Baby Boomers who grew up with him one more reason to reflect on their own advancing years.

He’s fought Parkinson’s the way he fought the late Joe Frazier, never giving an inch. But it’s a fight he can’t win, and nearly 30 years of living with it has taken a heavy toll.

His days at home with wife, Lonnie, in a gated community near Phoenix, generally follow the same routine: He gets out of bed and takes a shower before easing into his favorite chair for long hours at a time.

Sometimes he will watch videos of his old fights. The hands

MUHAMMAD ALI CELEBRATES his 70th birthday at a fundraiser Saturday in his hometown of Louisville, Ky.

will move, eyes will twitch, as he remembers the magnificent fighter and physical specimen he once was. “I always say the only person who likes to watch old Muhammad Ali fights more than me is him,� said John Ramsey, a Louisville radio and television personality who has been a close friend of Ali’s for more than 30 years. “His memory is better than mine and he’s very sharp. His sense of humor is still there, too.�

Through it all he remains a proud man. There are no complaints. No time spent bemoaning his fate.

It is, the devout Muslim would say, God’s will. “He would always just say to his family, ‘These are the cards I was dealt, so don’t be sad,’� Maryum Ali said. “He never played the

victim. There was never any ‘Woe is me.’�

That he is still alive so long after being diagnosed with the degenerative disease may be a tribute to the athleticism and inner strength that helped him stop Frazier on a brutally hot morning in the Philippines and helped him knock out the fearsome George Foreman in Africa. Among the heavyweights of his generation he was a big man, standing 6-foot-2 and usually weighing in at around 210 pounds.

He’s stooped now and weighs much less. But his arms are those of a younger man, and his body still shows signs of the magnificent sculpting of days gone by.

Every Sunday, his doctor in Phoenix makes a house call to make sure he’s doing OK. There are medications to help relieve his symptoms; there is no cure for Parkinson’s.

Ali, his daughter says, is in the late stages of Parkinson’s now, a time when doctors say patients are particularly susceptible to things that can kill them.

Pneumonia is the leading cause of death among Parkinson’s patients, who are also at constant risk for other infections. The increasing inability to swallow can be fatal, and falls are always a concern.

How Ali got the disease will never be known, because not much is known about the cause of Parkinson’s.

Ali once calculated that he took 29,000 punches to the head in a career that spanned more than two decades.

By the final stages of his career, he was slurring his words. Not long afterward, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

Ali is coherent and his thought process is still intact, though the Parkinson’s forces him to communicate more with gestures and actions instead of words.

The festivities for his 70th birthday include a Feb. 18 bash at the MGM Grand arena in Las Vegas, where celebrities and former fighters will pay tribute to him.

Millions of dollars will be raised for brain research.

People will come because he’s Ali. But they’ll also be there because of the person he is — the kind of person who never turned down an autograph. The kind of person who tried to help the less fortunate or the sick. The kind of person who never gets down because he wants to keep those around him up.

Maryum Ali said her father knows he didn’t lead a perfect life.

But he takes comfort in his religion, and he accepts everything he’s been given.

That goes for the Parkinson’s, too. “He would always say I’d rather suffer now than in the hereafter,� she said. “That’s just who my dad is.�

TUESDAY College Basketball

By Jim Souhan Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Once your couch sores heal and you undergo a very specific form of liposuction to remove queso from the arteries nearest your heart, I hope you’ll realize what you experienced the past 48 hours: The best weekend in American sports.

The NFL playoffs provided drama (the 49ers improbably coming back to beat the Saints), upsets (the Giants winning on the road to advance to an improbable NFC championship game against the 49ers), emotion (49ers tight end Vernon Davis crying as he hugged his coach), story lines (the quarterback who fathered a child out of wedlock, Tom Brady, beating the quarterback who claims he’s a virgin, Tim Tebow) and two days that gave us all an excuse to sit inside by the fireplace pretending we’d really rather be at the gym.

You may choose another of my top 10 sports weekends . . . or you may be a hockey fan.

1. NFL Division Playoffs: Four big games in two days with no overlap and the promise of real upsets. Since 1998 only one defending Super Bowl champ has made it past the divisional round.

2. The Masters: Saturday is moving day, Sunday is either rapid-cut drama or a long coronation in the most beautiful landlocked space on earth. The Masters on CBS is sport as art.

3. World Series weekends: The NFL and Major League Baseball are our two most popular sports. When they converge on Fall weekends, with the NFL staging games at noon and 3 and the baseball playoffs or Series filling the night, we have our longest good sports days of the year.

4. Sweet 16: The Final Four can be anticlimactic, and the NCAA championship game isn’t played until Monday night. The Sweet 16 gives us overlapping, channel-flipping drama, and sometimes the best story of the tournament isn’t which power school wins, but which underdog makes a run.

5. NFL Championship games: Anticipate on Saturday, then spend Sunday watching the title games that gave us The Catch and The Brain Favre.

6. The U.S. Open: Rarely as pretty as The Masters, in terms of flora, fauna or shotmaking, the U.S. Open provides a vision of elite golfers as grinders, as they try to par their way home on a great old American course.

7. Final Four: College basketball really isn’t a great sport for 11 months of the year. The Final Four is the culmination of the best marketing campaign in the country, a tournament that makes us care about George Mason, Butler and VCU. 8. NFL wild-card round: Yes, the NFL dominates American televised sports.

9. Super Bowl: The NFL has become America’s most dominant sport because it draws casual fans. This is the top example.

10. First weekend of March Madness: See No. 9. The NCAA tournament has created a culture in which you feel like a loser if you don’t fill out a bracket and hand $20 to a guy you know will immediately spend it on beer.

NEW YORK GIANTS’ KENNY PHILLIPS REACTS WITH FANS after New York defeated Green Bay, 37-20, in an NFL divisional playoff game on Sunday in Green Bay, Wis.

Wagner wins Sony Open, grabs Masters spot HONOLULU — Johnson Wagner played bogey-free over the last 12 holes and won the Sony Open for his third PGA Tour title.

Six players had a share of the lead Sunday at some point in the final round.

Wagner was the only player who stayed there, closing with a 3-under 67 for a two-shot victory over Carl Pettersson, Sean O’Hair, Harrison Frazar and Charles Howell III. Wagner The win puts Wagner in the Masters and keeps that moustache around that has been causing so much attention for at least another week.

He ends his two-week working vacation in Hawaii with a tie for ninth at Kapalua and a win at Waialae. Going into the year, Wagner had only seven top 10s in his career.

Oakland to sign RHP Colon OAKLAND, CALIF. — A person with knowledge of the negotiations says the Oakland Athletics and right-hander Bartolo Colon have reached agreement on a one-year deal that will bolster the team’s depleted rotation.

Colon’s contract is pending a physical, the person said Sunday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had yet to make a formal announcement.

The 38-year-old Colon, a former A’s nemesis during his four-year stint with the AL West rival Angels from 2004-07, went 8-10 in 29 appearances and 26 starts last season for the New York Yankees in his 14th big league season. He won the 2005 AL Cy Young Award.

NFL ATLANTA — Completing an unusual swap of offensive coordinators, the Falcons hired Dirk Koetter from Jacksonville to replace Mike Mularkey only four days after the Jaguars introduced Mularkey as their new coach.

The Falcons announced the hire on Sunday.

ESPN first reported the move.

NBA

MIAMI — The Miami Heat are not sure if guard Dwyane Wade will be able to play Tuesday against San Antonio because of a sprained right ankle.

Wade also has been dealing with a sore foot and strained calf muscle. Teammate Bosh says Wade should not play until Gonzalez, Nats agree on deal Chris he’s healthy again, and the team “will hold it WASHINGTON — Gio Gonzalez agreed to down� in his absence. a contract extension with the Washington Miami has lost three straight games and Nationals on Sunday, just weeks after the left- entered Sunday sixth overall in the Eastern hander was acquired in a trade with Oakland.

Meyer dismisses two Buckeyes COLUMBUS, OHIO — New Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has dismissed two players for off-the-field problems.

Ohio State spokesman Jerry Emig confirmed Sunday that defensive backs Dominic Clarke and DerJuan Gambrell have been released from their scholarships.

Clarke, a third-year sophomore from Frederick, Md., has been charged with drunken driving and also had been arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct after allegedly discharging a BB gun on campus. No one was hurt in the latter incident.

Gambrell, a freshman from Toledo, was also discharged for a “violation of team rules,� but OSU did not specify what that violation was.

“Baylor is a really good team, really athletic. They have guys that can make plays. They have guys that can pretty much stretch the floor and do everything,” Taylor said. “I think it’s going to be a good challenge for us.

I’m really excited. It’s a Big Monday game, and the fieldhouse is going to be crazy.

“They’re going to come in with a lot of confidence, as they should. They’re an undefeated team with really good players, so it’s going to be a good game.” !

Jones knows Robinson: Baylor’s Jones competed at several camps this past summer with KU’s Thomas Robinson.

“I mean, we are cool off the court, even on the court, but when it’s time to compete, it’s time to compete,” Jones told the Journal-World at Big 12 Media Days. “I’m definitely going to give him my A-game. I know he’ll give me his A-game. It definitely will be a competitive game.”

The 235-pound Jones practices daily against BU’s Acy. “He’s fast, the same as Robinson. It’ll be an all-around good game for both of us,” Jones said of him and Robinson.

Jones was asked by the Dallas Morning News if Saturday’s rout of OSU served as a “statement game” heading into today’s contest.

“No, not at all. Just taking it one game at a time,” he said. “Not looking ahead

offense that figures to look a lot different in 2012 than it did in 2011.

“At Kansas, there just aren’t enough BCS football players in the state to survive,” said Jon Kirby of JayhawkSlant.com, who has covered KU recruiting for 13 seasons. “So you have to be creative how you build your roster, and I’ve always felt that junior-college kids can be a big part of that. From what I have seen so far, the quality of the junior-college players that they’re bringing in is a great sign for KU football because these are guys that I think can make contributions right away.”

Cox, 5-foot-11, 200 pounds, of College of the Siskiyous in Weed, Calif., ran for 1,507 yards and 14 touchdowns in 10 games this season.

Originally from Mill Creek, Wash., Cox owns the school record for rushing yards in a game (326), rushing yards in a career (2,744) and touchdowns in a career (31). He also knows incoming transfer Jake Heaps, a quarterback from Washington, and told JayhawkSlant.com he chose KU because of what Weis is building.

“I just know I want to be a part of it,” Cox said. “I think good things are going to happen. The coaches were all

this year. The Tigers (10-5, 0-4 Big 12) hit 42.9 percent from the field.

Davis and Sutherland scored 14 of KU’s first 16 points to help Kansas build up an early lead, with its largest advantage coming at the 10:12 mark, 18-12. The momentum soon swung in the home team’s favor as Missouri used an 11-2 run to take its first lead, 23-22, with 6:20 remaining in the opening half.

The teams traded points over the next four minutes, but it was all KU in the final two. Junior Angel Goodrich scored back-to-back baskets with two drives to the hole.

The Tigers turned the ball over for the ninth time of the half with 30 seconds to go, and junior Monica Engelman converted on the opposite end right as the shot clock expired to help KU to a 33-31 halftime lead.

BAYLOR FORWARD QUINCY ACY (4) GESTURES after sinking a three-pointer against Oklahoma State during the Bears’ 106-65 rout Saturday in Waco, Texas. Acy and the Bears will be in Allen Fieldhouse to face Kansas University tonight. until it’s time. Now it’s time to get ready for Kansas. And that’s what we need to focus on now.” !

Remember the video flap?: It should be interesting to see if Baylor stays on the court to view KU’s pregame video tonight. Two seasons ago, the Bears raced through the southwest tunnel for some quiet time as the Jayhawk video played and the Jayhawks were introduced.

“I don’t think it was a slap in the face, but I thought it was disrespectful. You can’t come in somebody’s home court and disrespect them like that,” then-KU senior

very welcoming but that they had that look they are ready to get to work. I know coach Weis wants good football players, but he also is looking for players with high character. I’m excited and honored to be a part of it.”

Ford, 6-4, 195, finished the 2011 season at Arizona Western with 845 yards and 10 touchdowns on 58 receptions. Long and tall, with 4.4-second, 40-yard dash speed, Ford, who originally hails from Washington, D.C., said he could flourish at his new school.

“I know in an offense run by coach Weis, I will get the ball thrown to me a lot,” Ford told JayhawkSlant.com.

“It is the type of offense that can showcase wide receivers. Coach Weis is known for developing quarterbacks, and that is the receiver’s best friend.”

Brooks, 6-5, 245, comes to Kansas from Scottsdale Community College in Arizona as one of the top five junior-college tight ends available. He chose KU over offers from Florida International, Middle Tennessee State, Mississippi, New Mexico and Savannah State.

The addition of Brooks, Cox and Ford brings KU’s commitment list in the Class of 2012 to a dozen, about half of the yearly maximum (25) the program is allowed to sign. It remains to be seen just how many more prospects Weis will bring to town.

“I don’t want to undersign,” Weis said the day he was in-

Sutherland found her rhythm at the top of the key and was nearly perfect from the field in the first 20 minutes, going 6-for-7 for 12 points heading into the break, while Davis was dominant down low chipping in nine points.

BreAnna Brock paced the Tigers in the first half scoring 14 of her game-high 26 points. She also led MU on the boards with eight rebounds on the day.

Kansas’ defense limited Christine Flores to just six points, 14 below her 20.0 points-per-game average.

Through the first 10 minutes of the second half, the Jayhawks were 8-for-11 from the field (72.7 percent) and ended the half shooting 54.2 percent.

With her team-high six assists, Goodrich became the fifth player in Jayhawk history to reach 400 for her career.

Kansas concludes its twogame road swing when it travels to Oklahoma State on Wednesday. Tipoff is 7 p.m. in Stillwater, Okla.

Sherron Collins said after hitting for 28 points in an 8175 KU victory. “I went to our huddle and said what they did was disrespectful. I said, ‘Let’s go. Let’s win.’”

BU coach Drew at the time explained: “I never dreamed that people might take it as disrespectful. Obviously, had I known that might be the case, we’d have never done it. It was simply because we knew we only had a minute when we got back out. We wanted to go over what we wanted to do to start the game, and there’s no rules against it or anything. We just met in the hallway because their intro is pretty good and pretty long.

About the Bears: BU (17-0) is the fifth Big 12 team to start a season 15-0 or better. KU owns the three-best season starts — 22-0 in 1996-97, 20-0 in 2007-08 and 18-0 in 2010-11.

Texas started 17-0 in 2009-10. ... BU is 1-4 all-time in ESPN Big Monday contests; its lone win came against No. 6 KU in 2001. ... Baylor is 4-0 in games decided by five points or less. ... BU has made at least one three-pointer in 636 consecutive games. ... BU senior Acy ranks 18th in school history with 1,114 points. He also is second in career FG percentage (60.6), second in career blocks (147) and needs eight rebounds to crack Baylor’s career top-10. ... In his last 48 games, Acy has blocked 85 shots. ... In all, 50 of Heslip’s 58 field goals have been threes. ... Heslip has made multiple treys in 14 games. ... Heslip and Jackson have combined for 85 points in the last three games. !

About KU: KU is facing its fourth Top-10 team this season. The Jayhawks lost to No. 2 Kentucky, 75-65, in the Champions Classic Nov. 15 at Madison Square Garden and to No. 6 Duke, 68-61, in the Nov. 25 championship game of the Maui Invitational. KU beat No. 2 Ohio State, 78-67, on Dec. 10 in Lawrence. ... KU is 2-2 against ranked foes in 2011-12, 28-10 since 2006-07 and 37-20 under Self (2003-04). ... Former KU guard Sherron Collins said on Twitter he’ll be back in Lawrence today. One of Collins’ KU teammates, Tyrel Reed, also tweeted that he will be attending the game tonight. ...

GIANTS QUARTERBACK ELI MANNING REACTS in front of Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews, right, after throwing a 37-yard touchdown pass to Hakeem Nicks during the first the first half of an NFL divisional playoff game on Sunday in Green Bay, Wis.

Giants roll over Packers, 37-20 ————

Green Bay drops, fumbles away hopes of title repeat GREEN BAY, WIS. (AP) — With their own star quarterback and a dominating defense, the New York Giants exposed the Green Bay Packers for what they now are — former Super Bowl champions.

The Packers dropped passes, fumbled the ball and simply couldn’t stop Eli Manning and his receivers in the Giants’ shocking 37-20 divisional playoff victory Sunday. To the Giants’ delight, a Green Bay team that had a real shot at an undefeated season less than a month ago is heading home.

And that the win came at Lambeau Field, well, that was just as sweet. The site has become a familiar launching pad for the New Yorkers. After beating the Packers (15-2) at home for the second time in four years, they only hope this trip ends the same way — in the NFL title game.

The Giants will play the 49ers in San Francisco for the NFC championship next Sunday.

“I think we’re a dangerous team,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “I like where we are and how we’re playing.”

The Giants (11-7) have been on a roll ever since beating the rival Jets on Dec. 24, beating the Dallas Cowboys to get in the playoffs and then blowing out Atlanta in the wild card round last week.

They took down the Packers on Sunday, as Manning threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns.

The Giants are 3-4 against the 49ers in the playoffs, including their memorable collapse in a wild card game at San Francisco on Jan. 5, 2003.

New York led 38-14 in the third quarter but fell apart and lost 39-38.

That probably won’t be much of a worry for this year’s Giants, who were oozing confidence even before they beat the Packers.

“This team knows how to win on the road,” defensive end Justin Tuck said. “It seems like right now it’s our time.”

The Giants stunned the Packers with a touchdown off a long heave from Manning to Hakeem Nicks just before halftime, then knocked them out with a late touchdown off a turnover.

Lambeau Field fell silent as

the Giants swarmed the field in celebration, with a handful of New York fans chanting, “Let’s go, Giants!”

“I knew we were going to beat them on Wednesday, to be honest with you,” running back Brandon Jacobs said.

The win came four years after the Giants beat a Brett Favre-led Packers team in the NFC title game. It wasn’t nearly as frigid this time around, and the Packers’ vulnerable defense seemed to be waiting to get sliced up.

Manning found six different receivers against a porous Packers defense. But Manning did the most damage with his throws to Nicks, who caught seven passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns.

Nicks’ biggest play was a 66-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. His score at the end of the half came on a 37-yard pass into the end zone with defenders all around.

The Giants’ defense also was able to defuse the bigplay abilities of Aaron Rodgers and the Packers’ offense.

Rodgers was 26-of-46 for 264 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception.

Ravens ride turnovers to win against Texans BALTIMORE (AP) — If style points and offensive fireworks meant anything, the Baltimore Ravens wouldn’t stand a chance of making it to the AFC championship.

Playing defense and protecting the football are what they do best, and that formula led to a 20-13 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday, putting Baltimore in the AFC title game against the New England Patriots.

“I always say there is a right way to do things, there is a wrong way to do things and there is just the Ravens’ way of doing things,” linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “It wasn’t pretty but we’re not really a pretty team. We got the W and now it’s on to the AFC championship.”

The Ravens (13-4) had almost as many punts (nine) as first downs (11) and scored only three points over the final 46 minutes. But Baltimore wasn’t penalized once, didn’t commit a turnover, intercepted rookie quarterback T.J. Yates three times and totaled four takeaways — two in the first quarter and two over the final eight minutes.

“If we didn’t get any of those turnovers it would probably be a different game,” Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata said.

Baltimore visits New England next Sunday, with the winner advancing to the Super Bowl in Indianapolis on Feb. 5.

The Patriots lead the series 6-1, but Baltimore’s lone win came in the postseason.

“We don’t play the game until next week,” Suggs said.

“I’m going to enjoy tonight.”

Veteran defensive stars Ed Reed and Ray Lewis led

BALTIMORE FREE SAFETY ED REED INTERCEPTS A PASS intended for Houston wide receiver Andre Johnson during the second half of an NFL divisional playoff game Sunday in Baltimore. a unit that yielded only one touchdown and came up with the big play when one was needed. Lewis had a team-high seven tackles and Reed sealed the victory with the Ravens’ fourth takeaway, an interception near the goal line in the closing minutes.

“It’s winning by any means necessary,” Reed said.

“That’s what it’s got to be.”

The Ravens finished 9-0 at home, but this one was anything but easy. Baltimore led 17-3 after the first quarter, and interceptions by Lardarius Webb and Reed in the final 71⁄2 minutes helped the advantage stand up.

Reed has eight interceptions in 10 playoff games, few bigger than the last one.

“You can’t say enough about him,” Ravens linebacker Jarret Johnson said. “His big plays always seem to happen when you need one.”

One week earlier, in the first playoff game in Texans history, Houston didn’t commit a turnover in a 3110 home rout of Cincinnati.

Against Baltimore, the Texans couldn’t hold onto the ball and quickly fell behind by two touchdowns.

Arian Foster ran for 132 yards, the first player ever to rush for 100 yards against the

Ravens in the postseason. But Yates’ three interceptions matched the total he had in six regular season games.

“I can’t have the turnovers,” Yates said. “If we don’t turn the ball over like that, we have a chance to win. And we still had a chance to win. If I’d done a better job of protecting the football, I really think we’d have come out with the win today. We did a good job of moving the ball and we had some big plays, but you can’t have that many picks.”

Yates was the third starting quarterback used by Houston this year, following injuries to Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart.

Warriors 99, Pistons 91 AUBURN HILLS, MICH. — David Lee scored 24 points, and Monta Ellis added 22 to help the Warriors win on the road for the first time this season.

Golden State won at Detroit for the second time in its last 17 visits. Greg Monroe had 25 points and eight rebounds for the Pistons.

The Warriors trailed 4844 at halftime but went on an 8-0 run early in the third quarter and never trailed after that. They led by five early in the fourth before scoring 10 points in a row to make it 88-73.

Ellis scored 17 points in the second half.

The Warriors came in having lost seven of eight, including a 112-100 defeat at Charlotte on Saturday. Firstyear coach Mark Jackson said before Sunday’s game he expected his group to play like “a team that’s upset.” Although the Warriors had a hard time stopping Monroe inside, they prevented any of the other Detroit players from becoming too comfortable on offense.

The Pistons snapped a six-game losing streak Friday night with a victory at Charlotte, but Lee hurt them inside early, then Ellis and Dorell Wright contributed some scoring of their own in the second half.

Lee’s streak of double-doubles ended at six games. He fouled out with 4:40 remaining with only six rebounds.

Lee went 10 of 12 from the field, and the Warriors shot 52 percent.

Detroit shot 42 percent.

The Warriors were still without guard Stephen Curry, who has a sprained right ankle. Both teams seemed intent on going inside early.

Monroe and Lee each scored 17 points in the first half.

Gordon Hayward scored 19 points, and Devin Harris and Alec Burks added 10 each for the Jazz, winners of seven of their last eight.

Danilo Gallinari scored 18 points, Nene had 17 and Arron Afflalo 16 for the Nuggets.

The game was close throughout until Millsap got going early in the fourth quarter. He scored 16 points in the period and gave the Jazz control of a close game.

After a three-pointer by Gallinari cut the lead to 8179, the Jazz went to Millsap down low. The forward responded by scoring Utah’s next 14 to give the Jazz a 9583 lead midway through the period.

Harris hit a three-pointer with 3:52 left to make it 9885, Utah’s biggest lead of the game. Denver cut the lead to seven but couldn’t get any closer.

The Jazz started fast in the third quarter, scoring the first seven points to take a 55-48 lead. Denver responded with a 10-2 run to go back in front, but Utah countered with six straight points to take the lead for good. The Jazz led 77-73 heading into the fourth.

Neither team could take control in the first half. Jefferson had 12 points to help the Jazz take a four-point lead in the first quarter, while Nene had 11 for Denver, which led by as many as five.

No. 5 Ohio State 80, No. 7 Indiana 63 COLUMBUS, OHIO — Lenzelle Smith Jr. more than doubled his career high with 28 on Sunday to lead Ohio State to a surprisingly easy victory over Indiana.

Jared Sullinger added 16 points, William Buford scored 12 and Deshaun Thomas had 11 for the Buckeyes (16-3, 4-2 Big Ten), who were coming off a loss at Illinois on Tuesday night. Several players questioned their teammates’ commitment and effort after that game.

There was no doubt about either on Sunday as Ohio State took command early and was never threatened.

Cody Zeller had 16 points, Christian Watford 13 and Jordan Hulls 11 for the Hoosiers (15-3, 3-3), who had lost at home to unranked Minnesota on Wednesday night.

Smith, who came in scoring about five points per game, erased almost every offensive high-water mark he had ever had in a game.

He hit 10 of 12 shots from the field including four of five three-pointers. He also had seven rebounds, an assist and a steal.

No. 8 Duke 73, Clemson 66 CLEMSON, S.C. — Andre Dawkins scored 24 points and made five three-pointers.

The Blue Devils (15-2, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) overcame a sluggish start to pull away from the Tigers (98, 1-2) even though scoring leader Austin Rivers finished with 4 points, more than 10 fewer than his average.

Duke had to overcome a late rally by Clemson, which cut a 13-point lead to 68-64 in the final minute on two threepointers by Andre Young.

But Dawkins made three foul shots down the stretch as the Blue Devils beat Clemson for the 26th time in the last 28 meetings.

Milton Jennings had 16 points for the Tigers and Devin Booker added 12 points and 13 rebounds.

BIG 12 WOMEN

Griner’s 32 spark Baylor AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — Topranked Baylor’s run at perfection is still going strong.

Brittney Griner turned in another dominant performance against the Texas Longhorns on Sunday, tying her season high with 32 points to go with 13 rebounds and three blocks as the Lady Bears stayed unbeaten with an easy 77-59 win.

Griner made 12 of her first 14 shots and Baylor (17-0, 4-0 Big 12) led by 20 by halftime.

Baylor used an early 19-0 run to blow the game open.

“She was pretty special today,” said Baylor coach Kim Mulkey, who has seen her 6-foot-8 junior forward put up some big numbers her entire career.

Griner and Baylor have been rolling over teams all season. The Lady Bears have allowed only two opponents, Tennessee and Connecticut, to play them within 10 points and on Sunday easily dispatched a Texas team that had just beaten defending national champion Texas A&M on the road.

Sunday’s win sets up another key Big 12 game Wednesday for Baylor when the Lady Bears play at No. 10 Texas Tech.

Griner could have approached her career-high 40 points, but started giv-

ing up shots with passes to teammates in the second half with the game in hand.

She dominated the first half, scoring 21 — one point below her season average — as Baylor built a 49-29 lead by halftime.

Baylor also got a bonus with forward Destiny Williams setting career highs with 21 points and 14 rebounds. Williams benefitted from the double-team defenses Texas threw at Griner and found herself with several wide open shots at the basket.

Griner made nine of 11 shots in the first half and Williams pumped in 15 points.

High-income kids can benefit from nonprofit also Annie’s Mailbox

I am now semi-retired, and money is an issue. A couple of months ago, she began pressuring me, asking what’s wrong that I don’t want sex.

When I finally told her it is her weight, she didn’t speak to me for two days. She thinks we need counseling, but I am concerned that she would hear only what she wanted to hear.

I have had opportunities to cheat but asked myself each anniesmailbox@comcast.net time whether the available woman was worth losing half children, you are performing a my house and half my pension. useful and appreciated service So far, the answer has been to the community. “no.” But I don’t know for Dear Annie: There have been so many letters in your column about women not wanting sex. How about hearing the other side?

I am a 57-year-old man, married for 25 years. Overall, it’s a good marriage, except I am not interested in sex with my wife. She has gained 100 pounds. I lost weight myself and had to fight her every step of the way. Seven years ago, I bought her an expensive exercise machine that she said she wanted, even though she never uses it. She gets offended when I encourage dieting or exercise. She has had some major health issues, and when she decided she only wanted to work part time, it forced me to work overtime. I stood by her through all this.

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Cops, ghosts mingle on ‘Alcatraz’ and ‘Lost Girl’ So there’s this island where strange things happen and people who should be very old or dead show up unchanged nearly half a century later. And there’s an underground lair filled with computers that may or may not be the source of the weirdness. And it stars Jorge Garcia, and it’s created by J.J. Abrams. Only Garcia’s character is no Hurley and “Alcatraz” (7 p.m., Fox) is no “Lost.”

Before the credits even roll, we learn that the very night Alcatraz prison was supposed to close in 1963, more than 300 inmates and guards simply vanished.

Fast-forward to the present day and the residents are returning unchanged.

And they’re Rip Van Grumpy!

Hot on the mystery is Det. Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones), a fetching young policewoman. She enlists shaggy Alcatraz expert Dr. Diego Soto (Garcia) as her sidekick. He’s written four books on “The Rock” and likes to play video games with teenagers. Like Hurley, he has a habit of making oddball commentary on the action, but these asides don’t seem as fresh coming from a guy with so many advanced degrees. Mystery man Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill) is first seen thwarting Madsen in her search, and then recruiting her. Needless to say they all have personal connections to the penitentiary. And as on “Lost,” the island itself has them in its clutches.

On “Lost,” both the audience and the characters seemed joined in confusion and mystery, saying, “What the heck is going on?” at roughly the same moments.

Here, the police- procedural aspect of the story sort of takes half the fun away.

The imported Canadian series “Lost Girl” (9 p.m., Syfy) also mixes police work with the supernatural. Poor Bo (Anna Silk) has quite a problem. She’s a shapely thing and eye candy for the lads, but she keeps waking up with dead boyfriends. She just doesn’t know that she’s a Succubus, a powerful folk heroine capable of inhaling the life force of those near and dear.

Early on in the pilot, she uses her special power to protect Kenzi (Ksenia Solo), a waif-like pickpocket, from a violent cad who just slipped her a date rape pill. The discovery of that creep’s dead body sets off alarms at the police department, but also among members of the folk-fairy demimonde known as the Fae. After a crackling start, “Girl” gets a tad dull and contrived when Bo has to contend with the Fae and their arcane rivalries, rituals and hierarchy. It’s a little like “Twilight” that way.

Stars gather for “Betty White’s 90th Birthday: A Tribute to America’s Golden Girl” (7 p.m., NBC). A preview of White’s candid-camera series “Betty White’s Off Their Rockers” (8:30 p.m.) follows. Hallmark commemorates the day with an 11hour “Golden Girls” (2 p.m.) marathon.

Tonight’s other highlights

First lady Michelle Obama appears on “iCarly” (6:30 p.m., Nickelodeon) to hail the service of military families and discuss their special needs.

Shocking news about White on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS).

Death in the motor pool on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

how long. — Kansas Dear Kansas: We think there is also some resentment behind your reluctance to be intimate with your wife. We understand that you don’t believe counseling would help, but please try nonetheless. It could bring insight, as well as suggestions to improve the situation, and that surely has to be better than what you have now.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, Jan. 16: You could be overly serious and stern, especially within your community and professional world.

Others often back off when you make a statement. If you are single, this person could become more than a friend. If you are attached, you and your significant other will gain through getting to know each other better. Scorpio comes through in a crunch.

Dear Annie: Four months ago, I joined a nonprofit that provides free tutoring and homework help to elementary-school kids. When I started, the kids coming into our center were from lowincome minority and immigrant families. These were kids who would be home alone all afternoon if they didn’t come to us.

A few weeks ago, the demographic shifted. A large number of kids from stable, affluent families began arriving at the center. The parents of these children own property in an area that is quickly gentrifying.

This nonprofit is meant for kids whose families really need it. I feel as if I’m providing free baby-sitting and tutoring for kids whose parents could afford to pay for such services. What do you think?

— New Yorker Dear N.Y.: You should discuss this with the administrators of the program. Perhaps there could be an incomebased tuition or in-kind contribution so that families that can afford it would help support the center. Either way, consider that these higher-income kids are getting valuable lessons in diversity, and some of them might also be home alone if the center didn’t exist.

As long as the original students are not losing their places in the program to higher-income
