NCAA TOURNAMENT

First stop for KU: Tulsa, vs. Boston ——

Jayhawks are No. 1 seed in Southwest Staff Reports

As expected, the Kansas University basketball team was seeded No. 1 in the Southwest region of the NCAA Tournament and is scheduled to play its first two games in in Tulsa, Okla. KU (32-2) will face No. 16 seed Boston University (21-13) on Friday in the BOK Center. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:50 CDT. No. 1 seeds have a 104-0 record against No. 16 seeds in the tournament. In the event the Jayhawks survive Boston University, they will face the winner of the game between No. 8 seed UNLV (24-8) and No. 9 Illinois. KU coach Bill Self left Illinois after the 2003 season and has not faced his old school since. Headquarters for the KU Alumni Association will be at the Tulsa Convention Center, across the street from the BOK Center. A Friday pep rally is scheduled for 3 p.m. Other notable teams in KU’s Southwest bracket are No. 2 Notre Dame (26-6), No. 3 Purdue (25-7), No. 4 Louisville (25-9) and No. 5 Vanderbilt (23-10). Five Big 12 teams made the NCAA Tournament: Joining KU will be No. 4 seed Texas (27-7) in the West region, No. 5 Kansas State (22-10) in the Southeast region, No. 7 Texas A&M (24-8) in the Southwest region and No. 11 Missouri (23-10) in the West region. In what came as a surprise to many, Colorado (21-13) did not earn a bid to the tournament. See more coverage in Sports, including a tournament bracket, on pages 1B and 3B.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY GRADUATE STUDENT ANNE-CHRISTINE BARTHEL practices curling with the Kansas City Curling Club at the Line Creek Community Center in Kansas City, Mo. Barthel is a member of the German national curling team. Many players in this area are from other countries, but Midwesterners participate in the sport also. See a video at LJWorld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — On the weekends, Anne-Christine Barthel takes a break from life as an economics graduate student at Kansas University and takes time to play a sport that usually fades into obscurity for most Americans after the Winter Olympics. She and the rest of the Kansas City Curling Club are back on the ice on Saturdays now at the Line Creek Community Center in Kansas City’s Northland. They’ve been looking for a new home during the last few months after leaving Overland Park’s Pepsi Ice Midwest rink. Barthel is a doctorate student in economics, and she’s been curling since the mid1990s. She competes internationally in her home country of Germany. “It was mainly a friend of

The National Weather Service had forecast 3 to 6 inches of snowfall before daybreak, although temperatures were to remain near the freezing point. Today’s high is expected to be around 50. Winter is officially with us for a few more days; the first day of spring is Sunday. Temperatures will be in the 60s and 70s later in the week. See the complete forecast on page 8A.

Public will have other opportunities for discussion before plans drawn By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Architects designing the $18 million library expansion received feedback on a variety of issues Sunday afternoon at a public discussion initiated by the Old West Lawrence Association. Crosswalks, the height and appearance of a parking garage, entryways and safety concerns were discussed as architects from Gould Evans presented some of the initial design plans. “This is an initial listening conversation,” said City Manager David Corliss, who talked to the roughly two dozen people

attending the hour-and-a-halflong meeting at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. David Carttar, president of the Old West Lawrence Neighborhood Association, said it was important for the association to engage in a dialogue with city officials and architects before firm plans are set for the actual design of the expansion. “We interact with it more regularly,” Carttar said of the library in his neighborhood, identifying the association’s two main concerns as pedestrian safety and the appearance of any new structures. Carttar said that the meeting

was “really constructive.” The public will have future opportunities for input about the expansion design as architects and city officials address the key issues raised, Corliss said. By the end of this year or early 2012, Corliss said, city officials hope to move on to the actual building and construction phase. Future meeting dates and times for public discussion about the expansion will be announced as they’re planned, he said. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

more widespread here than in her home country, she guessed. In the German national women’s championships, for example, she said about four teams usually compete. However, the winners of

the German national championships are also the reigning world champions, Barthel said, so it’s still a good competition. Curling, for the uninitiated, is something like shuffleboard on ice, with four players. One person releases or “curls” a 45-pound stone down a sheet of ice. Two sweepers use brooms to sweep the ice in front of the stone to speed it up or slow it down, and try to guide it into a target area. A fourth person stands behind the target and yells instructions to everyone else. It’s a game of finesse and precision, as careful aim and good strategy can knock others’ stones out of the way and put your team’s stones in better position. “It’s a team sport, and you really have to work together

Away from hardest-hit area, concerns are still high By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

The 8.9 magnitude earthquake and following tsunami has hit close to home for two former Lawrence residents. Bill Tsutsui was in Tokyo the day of the earthquake, which he felt while getting out of a bus. Tsutsui, a former Kansas University professor of Japanese history who is now dean of humanities and sciences at Southern Methodist University, was in the country as part of a Japanese-American leadership delegation. Tsutsui, who was at KU for 17 years, felt the tremor of the earthquake and saw buildings shake, but said the feeling was hard to describe. “It’s hard to compare to what it feels like,” he Please see QUAKE, page 2A ● See more on the aftermath of the Japan

In the past, it has attracted as many as 40 people on Saturdays and usually around 30 on Sundays, Wolfe said. His group offers learn-tocurl lessons for $20 through its website, kccurling.com. “If you look at a sport on TV, it looks really easy to do,” Wolfe said. “Whether it’s basketball, football, hockey, lacrosse or soccer, all these sports, until you actually do it.

Japan’s nuclear crisis escalates The Associated Press

SOMA, JAPAN — The second hydrogen explosion in three days rocked Japan’s stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant today, sending a massive column of smoke into the air and wounding 6 workers. The plant’s operator said radiation levels at the reactor were still within legal limits. The explosion at the plant’s Unit 3, which authorities have been frantically trying to cool following a system failure in the wake of a massive earthquake and tsunami, triggered an order for hundreds of people to stay indoors, said Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano. Tokyo Electric Power Co. said radiation levels at Unit 3 were 10.65 microsieverts, signif icantly under the 500 microsieverts at which a nuclear operator must file a report to the government. The blast follows a similar explosion Saturday that took place at the plant’s Unit 1, which injured four workers and caused mass evacuations. More than 10,000 people are estimated to have died in Friday’s twin tragedy that has caused unimaginable deprivation for people of this industrialized country that has not seen such hardships since World War II. In many areas there is no running water, no power and four- to five-hour waits for gasoline. People are suppressing hunger with instant noodles or rice balls while dealing with the loss of loved ones and homes.

“People are surviving on little food and water. Things are simply not coming,” said Hajime Sato, a government official in Iwate prefecture, one of the three hardest hit. “We are only getting around just 10 percent of what we have requested. But we are patient because everyone in the quake-hit areas is suffering.” He said local authorities were also running out of body bags and coffins. “We have requested funeral homes across the nation to send us many body bags and coffins. But we simply don’t have enough. We just did not expect such a thing to happen. It’s just overwhelming.” Sato said local authorities may ask foreign funeral homes to send supplies. The pulverized coast has been hit by more than 150 aftershocks since Friday, the latest one a 6.2 magnitude quake that was followed by a new tsunami scare today. Abandoning their search operations, soldiers told residents of the devastated shoreline in Soma, the worst hit town in Fukushima prefecture, to run to higher ground. Sirens wailed and soldiers shouted “find high ground! Get out of here!” Several uniformed soldiers were seen leading an old woman up a muddy hillside. The warning turned out to be a false alarm. “This is Japan’s most severe crisis since the war ended 65 years ago,” Prime Minister Naoto Kan told

reporters Sunday, adding that Japan’s future would be decided by its response. On Sunday, search parties arrived in Soma for the first time since Friday to dig out bodies. Ambulances stood by and body bags were laid out in an area cleared of debris, as firefighters used hand picks and chain saws to clear an indescribable jumble of broken timber, plastic sheets, roofs, sludge, twisted cars, tangled powerlines and household goods. Helicopters buzzed overhead, surveying the destruction that spanned the horizon. Ships were flipped over near roads a half mile inland. Officials said one-third of the city of 38,000 people was flooded and thousands were missing. According to off icials, more than 1,800 people have been conf irmed dead — including 200 people whose bodies were found Sunday along the coast — and more than 1,400 were missing in Friday’s disasters. Another 1,900 were injured. But police in Miyagi prefecture say 10,000 people are likely dead in their area alone. Miyagi, with a population of 2.3 million, was one of the hardest hit areas. “I’m giving up hope,” said Hajime Watanabe, 38, a construction industry worker. “I never imagined we would be in such a situation” Watanabe said. “I had a good life before. Now we have nothing. No gas, no electricity, no water.”

Obihiro in the northern part of Japan, but he said it was far from the epicenter of the quake. “It was magnitude 4 in our town. We didn't have much trouble,” he said in an e-mail. “However, we had the tsunami, and some damages in neighboring towns, Hiroo and Taiki. Fortunately, there was no human damage.” Hayashi said he had not been able to get in touch with his uncle’s family, who lives in Sendai, an area heavily damaged in the disaster. He says people in his area are calm for now but don’t have much information and are worried about what will happen with the nuclear power plants. A plant near Fukushima, about 150 miles north of Tokyo, was crippled after the earthquake, and authorities have been pumping seawater into overheated reactors to try to cool them down and prevent a meltdown. A hydrogen explosion occurred today at the Dai-ichi plant, the Associated Press reported late Sunday night, and was the second explosion at the plant since the earthquake. Several other nuclear installations were under close watch for potential problems. “If you have any Japanese friends, please say cheering words to them. We are now so much depressed by this dis-

Chief State Dept. spokesman resigns Chief State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley quit on Sunday after causing a stir by describing the military’s treatment of the suspected WikiLeaks leaker as “ridiculous” and “stupid,” pointed words that forced President Barack Obama to defend the detention as appropriate. “Given the impact of my remarks, for which I take full responsibility, I have submitted my resignation” to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to a department statement attributed to the office of the spokesman. In a separate statement released simultaneously, Clinton said she had accepted the resignation “with regret.” Crowley’s comments about the conditions for Army Pfc. Bradley Manning at a Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va., reverberated quickly, from the small audience in Massachusetts where Crowley spoke, to a White House news conference Friday where Obama was asked to weigh in on the treatment of the 23-year-old believed responsible for the largest leak of classified American documents ever. 2 | LIBYA

Rebels driven from key oil town Moammar Gadhafi’s forces swept rebels from a key oil town Sunday with waves of strikes from warships, tanks and warplanes, closing on the opposition-held eastern half of Libya as insurgents pleaded for a U.N.-imposed no-fly zone. Gadhafi’s troops have been emboldened by a string of victories in the struggle for Libya’s main coastal highway but their supply lines are stretched and their dependence on artillery, airstrikes and naval attacks makes it hard for them to swiftly consolidate control of territory, particularly at night. The insurgents claimed they moved back into the strategic town of Brega after dusk in a fast-moving battle with a constantly shifting front line, destroying armored vehicles and capturing dozens of fighters from Gadhafi’s elite Khamis Brigade. The United States sent U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton to meet with rebel leaders in Paris on Monday as world powers consider trying to ground Gadhafi’s air force.

Dems say GOP not focused on economy By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Republicans, who hold a significant majority in the state House of Representatives, are pushing issues that have little to do with improving the economy. At least that’s what Democrats in the Legislature say. His party outnumbered 92-33, House Democratic Leader Paul Davis, of Lawrence, ticked off a long list of issues that Republicans muscled to the forefront

just last week. They include more abortion restrictions, increased regulation of sexually oriented businesses, an Arizona-like crackdown on illegal immigrants, decreasing a tax break for working poor families, eliminating the corporate income tax and trying to change the Kansas Constitution to put public schools and higher education under direct control of the governor, Sam Brownback, a conservative Republican. “The extreme wing of the

Republican Party has got the train moving at full speed,” Davis said. The week before last, the House GOP took aim at unions, approving a bill that prevents unions from collecting dues through members’ paychecks that can be used for political purposes, and prohibiting public employee unions from endorsing candidates. But House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, defended the House GOP’s work product.

Police say no foul play was involved in the death of a man whose body was found in a creek behind a house in the 700 block of Michigan Street. Emergency crews were dispatched about 1:20 p.m. Sunday

after a resident of the 700 block of Michigan reported an unconscious person in the creek. Emergency crews later said the person was deceased. According to a media release Sunday night from the Lawrence Police Department, the subject was a male, and police officers and detectives are working to

determine the circumstances of his death. They are waiting on autopsy results, but say no foul play was involved. Check LJWorld.com for updates as they become available. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173.

Time-change glitch annoys iPhone users Users of Apple’s iPhone peppered Twitter and blogs with complaints Sunday when their phones bungled the one-hour “spring forward” to daylight saving time that went into effect overnight Saturday. One user complained of missing church, another of almost missing yoga. One called her iPhone stupid and several just asked for help. It turns out some users’ phones fell back one hour instead of springing forward, making the time displayed on the iPhone two hours off. This is just the latest clock woe for Apple’s chic iPhone. A clock glitch prevented alarms from sounding on New Year’s Day, causing slumbering revelers to oversleep. The devices also struggled to adjust to the end of daylight saving time back in November. The glitch affected iPhone owners who subscribe for phone service through both AT&T and Verizon. Apple, based in Cupertino, Calif., could not be reached for comment Sunday.

News from the Kansas Statehouse

A coalition of activists will hold a march and rally on Saturday to protest a proposal by Gov. Sam Brownback to put the Kansas Human Rights Commission under the attorney general’s office. The coalition says that proposal will destroy the independence of the commission, which investigates complaints alleging discrimination in the areas of employment, public accommodations and housing, as well as racial profiling in conjunction with traffic stops. Opposed to Brownback’s plan is the board of the human rights commission, the NAACP, Kansas Equality Coalition, Kansas League of Women Voters and Kansas NOW. The march will start at noon at the former Monroe Elementary School and end at a rally at the Capitol.

Pilots on an Alaska Airlines flight from Mexico City to Los Angeles locked down the cockpit and alerted authorities Sunday when a flight crew grew alarmed at the behavior of three men who turned out to be conducting an elaborate orthodox Jewish prayer ritual, officials said. The men, all Mexican nationals, began the ritual that involves tying leather straps and small wooden boxes to the body, and the crew of Flight 241 alerted the cockpit, airline spokeswoman Bobbie Egan said. The cockpit was placed on a security lockdown for the rest of the flight — meaning the door couldn’t be opened even for pilots to leave briefly. Normal protocol calls for the cockpit to be locked, but on longer flights the pilots will leave and return from the flight deck. FBI and customs agents along with police and a full assignment of fire trucks met the plane at the gate at Los Angeles International Airport, and the men were escorted off. After questioning from the FBI, the men were released without being arrested.

ERIN TAYLOR, LEFT, AND LACEY HENRY, both of Lawrence, share a laugh following the crowning of the 2011 St. Patrick’s Day Parade queen on Sunday at the Flamingo Club in North Lawrence. Henry was awarded the honor for her help in raising money for area charities.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2011 queen crowned By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

Lacey Henry has never worked as hard in her life as she has in the last few months. That’s because she’s been raising money for the charities benefiting from this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and she’s pretty good at it. Deb Drummet, co-chairwoman of the parade committee, said Henry sold $600 worth of T-shirts in 20 minutes at an event. And now Henry is being recognized for the help she’s given the charities. She was crowned queen of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day parade Sunday night at the Flamingo Club, 501 N. Ninth St. Henry, 22, was one of three candidates for this year’s crown, which recognizes the women who help raise thousands of dollars for the charities that benef it from the parade.

ST. PAT’S DAY PARADE The Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day Parade will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday at South Park. It will travel up Massachusetts Street and cross the bridge into North Lawrence. Massachusetts Street will be closed from 11th to 14th streets beginning at noon to accommodate the parade. T routes will also be affected by the parade. See the reroutes at lawrencetransit.org. all help children: Cooper’s Cause Foundation, Imagine Drop-In Childcare and Junior Achievement. Toys for Tots, which also helps children, was the charity that started Henry fundraising in the first place. “I’m kind of becoming a charity junkie,” she said. “It’s just so rewarding.” The crowning is one of many events leading up to Thursday’s parade, which starts at South Park at 1 p.m. Organizers of the parade are

focusing on safety this year. Mik Shanks, logistics co-chairman of the parade, said he wants Lawrence residents to be aware of the parade’s route and to make sure children stay off the road. “We’ve seen that happen with other parades in other cities,” Shanks said. “We’re trying to get ahead of the curve.” Drummet said the other queen candidates, Erin Taylor, 34, and Katie Keeler, 29, had also been incredibly helpful to the parade’s cause. “All three have done the work of about 30 people,” she said. Also recognized Sunday evening were the parade’s grand marshal, former Lawrence Police Chief Ron Olin, and the senior king and queen, Fairley and Donna McCain.

Budget director takes flak from Democrats Gov. Sam Brownback’s budget director, Steve Anderson, received some pointed questioning last week from Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, but also from at least from one Republican, state Rep. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora. Brown said he didn’t think much of Brownback transferring $200 million from the state highway fund to help balance the budget. He said the Legislature should be making the tough decisions to cut the state budget instead of using the highway funds. Anderson said that he would have rather not used the funds but that the deficit was so large it had to be done. QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“The legislative function is not solely to be the treasurer, or write checks for the education system.” — House Speaker Mike O’Neal, RHutchinson, during a committee meeting considering his proposed constitutional amendment to abolish the State Board of Education and Kansas Board of Regents.

High levels of carcinogen found at federal K.C. complex KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The level of the dangerous carcinogen beryllium permitted at a Kansas City federal complex where workers have complained of health problems far exceeds the limit at other plants, the Kansas City Star has found. The newspaper also reported on Sunday that the plant’s own threshold was still surpassed in government testing. The Energy Department previously established beryllium standards that apply to such things as air and equipment surfaces — but not specifically walls, floors and ceilings. The Kansas City plant established its own goal of 1 microgram of beryllium per 100 square centimeters for those surfaces, said Gayle Fisher, speaking for the Energy Department’s National Nuclear Security Administration and its private contractor, Honeywell FM&T. She said it offered protection to workers at the Bannister Federal Complex, which has housed a Department of Defense landfill and manufacturing sites for weapons parts and aircraft. But Mike Van Dyke, one of the nation’s leading industrial hygienists in the handling of beryllium, said most complexes adopted a 0.2-microgram standard years ago. The standard in place at the Kansas City plant stunned Mark Fisher, who is chairman of an employee organization that shares oversight of beryllium standards at the Energy Department’s Hanford Site in Washington state. “That’s way too high,” Fisher said. He said the Hanford Site has adopted an even more stringent standard of 0. 1 micrograms in recent years after previously adhering to the 0.2 standard. Plants adhering to the 0.2 standard include the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant in Tennessee, the Pantex facility in the Texas Panhandle and Lawrence Livermore in California. Gayle Fisher acknowledged that plants may be using different standards. But she said the Kansas City plant “contacted professionals in the beryllium field to identify best practices for worker protection.“ The Kansas City Star also reported that documents it obtained found that several government inspections detected levels of beryllium that far exceeded the plant’s

“

the plant is located. Gayle Fisher, who only responded to questions by email, said recently that the areas with high readings had been cleaned up. She said the documents demonstrated that. “Any suggestion that cleanup has not been performed or there is a lack of worker protection controls in place would be errant and misleading,” she wrote. However, Van Dyke and environmental experts with General Services Administration and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources reviewed the documents and say they saw no evidence that a cleanup was done. “Some of the areas that (the documents say) have been decontaminated still show high levels of beryllium,” said Angela Brees, a spokeswoman for GSA, which has office space at the plant. Brees said she also asked NNSA recently for a cleanup plan of the area but never got one. “I said if you guys have a cleanup plan that would sort of be the end of it,” Brees said.

It’s shocking that the public and employees were told this was cleaned up and the government’s own inspectors found such horrendous levels of contamination after the entire plant was supposedly cleaned up.” — Kansas City Councilman John Sharp own guidelines after officials said it had been cleaned a decade ago. Some readings were as high as 50 micrograms of beryllium per 100 square centimeters. But Honeywell and the Energy Department’s National Nuclear Security Administration never announced those findings. “It’s shocking that the public and employees were told this was cleaned up and the government’s own inspectors found such horrendous levels of contamination after the entire plant was supposedly cleaned up,” said Kansas City Councilman John Sharp, who represents District 6, where

Officials offer safety tips, Survey shows depressed dads likely to spank 1-year-olds reminders for spring break By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Kansas University and area law enforcement agencies are urging Kansas University students and Lawrence families to be safe, no matter what they do for spring break. “The same rules apply at spring break that always apply, such as paying attention to your surroundings, traveling in groups and trusting your instincts,” said Public Affairs Sgt. Matt Sarna, of the Lawrence Police Department. Law enforcement and KU officials are warning residents to take precautions on everything from keeping their homes secure while they are away to being careful while traveling and avoiding sexual assaults.

Before you leave ● Lock your residence, and arrange for someone to pick up your mail and newspaper every day. ● Record serial numbers on all of your valuable items and keep the list in a safe place. ● Make sure someone knows where you are going and when you expect to return. While you’re gone ● Travel with groups of people you trust every day, and avoid walking or getting into a vehicle with someone you don’t know.

STAY SAFE DURING SPRING BREAK WEEK Kansas University, the Lawrence Police Department and other area groups will have three events this week around campus to warn students about being safe during spring break. “We’re hoping that we can pool our resources to help educate students and remind them about protective behaviors that we hope they will use while on spring break,” said Frank DeSalvo, a KU associate vice provost for student success and coordinator of the Jayhawk Buddy System. The events will be from 11 a.m.

to 1 p.m. three days this week: today in front of the Kansas Union, and Tuesday and Wednesday on the Strong Hall lawn. In the event of rain, they will move inside the respective buildings. Students can get information on how to avoid dangerous situations from sexual assault to the risks caused by excessive drinking. Selfdefense techniques will also be demonstrated. Students will get backpacks that will include free tool kits and can be stocked with promotional items that encourage students to stay safe, DeSalvo said.

● Don’t walk in isolated or dimly lit areas. ● Secure your valuables in a safe place. Don’t leave them unattended, and never leave your passport or other forms of ID in an unsafe place. Keep them with you or use a hotel safe. ● If you are of legal drinking age and consume alcohol, Sarna said, keep your beverages with you and in your sight at all times. “Be aware of what you are drinking and how much,” he said. “Keep your head clear and make sound decisions.”

dents to be careful if staying in town. State law enforcement officers are investigating a serial rapist who is believed to have committed 13 rapes in Lawrence and Manhattan from 2000 to 2008. Police say the man in the past attacked around holiday breaks. ● Be aware of your surroundings, especially when walking from your vehicle into your house or apartment. ● Try to park in a welllighted area and always lock your doors. ● Be on the lookout for suspicious vehicles or people. Call police at 832-7509 if you notice anything or anyone suspicious. And, of course, in an emergency, call 911.

Staying home Because fewer people will be around Lawrence during spring break, which for KU and Lawrence public schools is the week of March 21, officers frequently warn KU students and Lawrence resi-

CHICAGO (AP) — Just like new moms, new fathers can be depressed, and a study found a surprising number of sad dads spanked their 1-yearolds. About 40 percent of depressed fathers in a survey said they’d spanked kids that age, versus just 13 percent of fathers who weren’t depressed. Most dads also had had recent contact with their child’s doctor — a missed opportunity to get help, authors of the study said. The American Academy of Pediatrics and many child development experts warn against spanking children of any age. Other studies have shown that kids who are spanked are at risk of being physically abused and becoming aggressive themselves. The researchers said spanking is especially troubling in children who are only 1, because they could get injured and they “are unlikely to understand the connection between their behavior and subsequent punishment.” The study was released online today in the journal Pediatrics. The authors analyzed data on 1,746 fathers from a nationally representative survey in 16 large U.S. cities, conducted in 1999-2000. Lead author Dr. Neal Davis said that was the most recent comprehensive data on the subject, and he believes it is relevant today. Depression among fathers is strongly tied to unemployment rates, which are much

praised by Democrats. “Our folks believe trying to work on providing additional jobs to the state should be our priority,” Morris said. Davis said a def ining moment of the 2011 legislative session occurred last week in the House during debate on the bill to add more restrictions to strip bars. Democrats tried to amend the bill to make it easier to build a casino in southeast Kansas. Republicans blocked the measure. “Instead of creating new jobs, extreme Republicans are playing morality police,” Davis said.

● Ola Faucher, noon March The Franklin County Sheriff’s Police investigate death Office 22. Advanced Accident of boy struck by vehicle Investigators assisted during To submit a question, log on

A 4-year-old boy died Saturday after being struck by a vehicle in Ottawa. According to a media release from the Ottawa Police Department, officers responded to the 1000 block of South Cottonwood Street shortly before 3 p.m., where a 4-year-old boy had been struck by a vehicle. The boy was later pronounced dead at Ransom Memorial Hospital. Police will send evidence from the scene to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation laboratory for further analysis. The investigation into possible criminal charges is ongoing, but no arrests have been made. Attempts on Sunday morning to reach a spokesperson from the Ottawa Police for further information were unsuccessful. However, a Franklin County dispatcher relayed information from police that no updates were available and that the name of the boy would not be released until after an autopsy.

higher now than a decade ago, he said. The men were questioned about depression symptoms, spanking and interactions with their 1-year-olds, but weren’t asked why they spanked or whether it resulted in physical harm. Overall, 7 percent of dads had experienced recent major depression. Some likely had a history of depression, but in others it was probably tied to their children’s birth, similar to postpartum depression in women, Davis said. A pediatrician now with Intermountain Healthcare in Murray, Utah, Davis did the research while at the University of Michigan. Postpartum depression is more common in women; by some estimates as many as 25 percent develop it shortly after childbirth. Severe cases have been linked with suicide and with deaths in children including several high-profile drownings. Less is known about depression in new dads and the study raises important awareness about an under-recognized problem, said Dr. Craig Garfield, an assistant pediatrics professor at Northwestern University and co-author of a Pediatrics editorial. With fathers increasingly spending time on child care, including taking their kids to routine doctor visits, it’s important for pediatricians to pay attention to dads’ mental health, Garfield said. Close to 80 percent of depressed and

EDITORIALS

Prestigious appointment It appears one Lawrence resident may replace another on the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

riends and admirers of Lawrence attorney Steve Six will applaud the nomination of the former Kansas attorney general as a member of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Six was nominated last week by President Barack Obama to fill the vacancy on the court caused by the retirement of another Lawrence resident, Deanell Tacha, who soon will take over as dean of the law school at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif. In making the nomination, Obama said, “Steve Six has distinguished himself as a firstrate jurist with unflagging integrity and evenhandedness. I’m grateful for his service to the state of Kansas and look forward to adding his considerable wisdom and experience to the 10th Circuit Court.” Six was a Douglas County district judge from 2005 to 2008, when he was appointed by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius as attorney general, filling the vacancy left by the resignation of Paul Morrison. His 2010 election bid to remain in office failed and he recently joined the Lawrence law firm of Stevens & Brand. While serving as attorney general, Six refused to join a lawsuit filed by more than 20 other state attorneys general challenging the constitutionality of the Obama health care program. Would Obama have nominated Six if he had joined the other attorneys general in opposing the president’s health plan? Raw politics plays a major role in the nomination and eventual confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court justices and members of the federal Court of Appeals. During the most recent Bush administration with Democrats holding strong majorities in both houses, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee refused to allow a vote on many of Bush’s nominees for the Court of Appeals. According to the U.S. Courts’ website, as of Thursday, 45 nominees for federal judicial positions were awaiting confirmation. On Thursday, Kansas’ two Republican senators, Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, both offered their congratulations to Six and said they were looking forward to the Senate confirmation hearings, but did not say whether they would support his appointment. With Democrats still in control of the Senate, unless Roberts and Moran object to Six’s nomination, it looks as if Six will have clear sailing for confirmation to the prestigious and important Court of Appeals slot.

Nation’s governors are on the hot seat You may think that the engine of change in American politics at the moment is the Republican freshman caucus in the House. Its members have reshaped the budget debate, brought an end to congressional earmarks, assaulted Obamacare, spawned a new debate on environmental policy and made a federal case over the Joint Strike Fighter engine. They’ve made a difference. But they’re not the biggest engine of change in American politics. The governors are. A generation ago the nation’s governors stressed imagination

David Shribman Today’s governors are “a different breed. As a group, they face challenges perhaps greater than any of their predecessors since the Great Depression.”

and competence. From their group emerged four presidents, each with a distinctive record in his state capitol. To a man they were optimists. Indeed the only presidents between John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama who were unalloyed optimists were the governors, two Republicans and two Democrats: Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush. Today’s governors are a different breed. As a group, they face challenges perhaps greater than any of their predecessors since the Great Depression. They can’t govern the way earlier governors did, transforming their offices into laboratories of democracy, mostly through spending. General-fund expenditures in the states declined by 7.3 percent in fiscal 2010, according to the National Governors Association, which predicts that spending and revenue won’t return to pre-recession levels until as late as 2014. Part of the change in the character of the nation’s governors is ideological. Republicans outnumber Democrats 28 to 22, and today’s Republicans are far more conservative than their predeces-

sors, who sometimes (Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York, Tom McCall of Oregon, Francis W. Sargent of Massachusetts) leaned pretty far toward liberalism. A dramatic example: Maine’s last Republican governor, John R. McKernan Jr., was regarded as a moderate and is married to Sen. Olympia Snowe, one of the last moderate Republicans on Capitol Hill. Today Maine’s Republican governor, Paul LePage, has ties to the tea party and has signaled he won’t embrace the state’s longtime bipartisan consensus on environmental issues. But much of the change is economic. There may be signs of recovery in the private sector, but not in government, where states face severe budget challenges, lingering pension problems, persistent Medicaid obligations and growing infrastructure obligations. The most depressing reading in the winter of 2011 isn’t some treacly romantic tragedy in the paperback racks at the airport. It’s the state-of-the-state messages delivered by the nation’s governors. Some excerpts from these documents of despair, all delivered by Democrats: ● “Governors across this nation, both Democratic and Republican, have been forced to propose budgets that either raise taxes during tough economic times or set thousands and thousands of children, families and seniors adrift from programs they have depended upon for years. Education budgets are being slashed. Prisons are closing. Health care programs are

being stripped.” — Gov. Mike Beebe of Arkansas ● “California faces a crisis that is real and unprecedented. Each of us will have to struggle with our conscience and our constituencies as we hammer out a sensible plan to put our state on a sound fiscal footing, honestly balance our budget and position California to regain its historic momentum.” — Gov. Jerry Brown of California ● “Just like families across Colorado do at their kitchen tables, we have to sit down at this kitchen table and make difficult choices in order to pay our bills, manage our expenses and live within our means in obviously leaner times. How we bring our budget into balance and put Colorado on a sustainable fiscal path will be perhaps the most important legacy of this legislative session.” — Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado ● “This is a time of crisis for our state.” — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York None of this is to say that it has ever been easy to be a governor. Former Gov. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire, who also served in the U.S. House and Senate, regards the governor’s office as the most difficult job in politics. In his years in Concord, from 1989 to 1993, five of the state’s seven largest banks failed, two public utilities went bankrupt, the only major military base in the state was closed, and state tax revenues fell for the first 12 months. “Indeed, gone are the days when governors undertook creative new initiatives that cost

money. Republican Mitt Romney, who served as Republican governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007, pioneered a state health care plan that not only would be inconceivable today but also could be a burden to him if, as expected, he seeks the GOP presidential nomination next year. His plan has striking similarities to the Obama health plan that is anathema to many conservatives, especially the tea party activists who likely will be a major force in Republican primaries and caucuses. And though Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin has drawn attention for his campaign against the state’s unionized workers, the budget he submitted early this month will likely prove to be another bitter battleground. He is calling for state spending to be cut by more than $4 billion over the next two years, including more than $1 billion in aid to schools and local governments. After the Republicans took over Capitol Hill in 1995 for the first time in four decades, House Speaker Newt Gingrich invited GOP governors William F. Weld of Massachusetts and John Engler of Michigan to a House Republican caucus. They explained how they cut spending, were hanged in effigy in their states and then were re-elected. “Our message was that you can be fiscally conservative and still be re-elected,” Weld said in a conversation this month. “The lesson from that came from the governors. It may again.” — David Shribman is executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

YOUR TURN

Now is not the time to cut arts funding Editor’s note: Lawrence artist Louis Copt was one of five recipients of the 2011 Governor’s Arts Award. This column is an edited version of the speech he gave at the awards ceremony, March 3, in Topeka. From the vast plains of Western Kansas to the tree-covered hills near the Missouri border, the state of the arts in our beloved state is in jeopardy. No doubt we are in difficult times, with a sagging economy, spirit-sapping unemployment and changing political fortunes. We look to an uncertain future. There is no need for me to go over the litany of losses the state would suffer if the Kansas Arts Commission loses its funding. The dramatic drop in matching funds, the effect on jobs and the blow to small towns and tourism is well documented in the explosion of Web-based communication from e-mail to Facebook. One only has to Google the Kansas Arts Commission to find a host of information and actionbased response opportunities. Arts spending has become the

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for March 14, 1911: “The quarantine which has been maintained over the home of Dan Vaughn, 120 YEARS Perry, for nearly two months was raised AGO yesterday. Vaughn is the stone mason IN 1911 who contracted the disease from the hobo who brought the epidemic to Lawrence. Five members of the Vaughn family have had the disease since the home was quarantined. In all members except Mr. Vaughn, the disease has been very mild.”

obvious example when it comes to illustrating the evils of wasteful government. For conservatives, this has become a rich vein to mine, a platform to pontificate and a desperate distraction from more important issues. Arts funding did not get us into financial trouble. There is plenty of public funding for highways, and tax breaks for new businesses and subsidies to smooth out the business cycle for Copt farmers. We will be further impoverished — not better off — if state funding for the arts comes to a halt. It is often argued that the “wasteful spending of today is passed down to our children.” The same argument could be made that cutting the arts funding of today robs future generations of inspiration. During the Depression, there were many farsighted people in government who joined with Roosevelt to create the Federal

JOURNAL-WORLD

Art Project which, in 1934, created over 5,000 jobs for artists and produced over 225,000 works of art for the American people. Writers like Langston Hughes wrote poetry and plays. Others compiled histories, and artists painted murals in small towns throughout Kansas including Sabetha, Eureka and Goodland plus the Curry murals in the state Capitol — all of which, would not exist today without public arts funding. These works of art now stand as a reminder of a time in our country’s history when dreams were not allowed to be destroyed by economic disaster. Now is not the time to let our theaters go dark, our galleries to stand empty or for music to go silent. Now is not the time to pull paintbrushes from eager hands of schoolchildren or clog the pens of poets and writers. Now is not the time to put Kansas in the spotlight of ridicule or to move to the mode of mediocrity but rather to lead and inspire. Now, in fact, would be the time

to increase arts funding in Kansas. Now would be the time for those interested in growing the state and jobs to step forward and champion the quality of life the arts can bring. It is within the realm of possibility to have essential services and a healthy funding for the arts. This should not be an either/or situation. This should be an opportunity to have a dialogue on both sides to clear a path for rational thinking, to sweep aside stereotypes and know that we can have both bread and roses. To me, the Governor’s Arts Awards is not just a recognition of an individual in the arts, but a celebration of what it means to be a human who can lift hearts and minds through creative expression. Let us tell the nation of our arts here in the Sunflower State, where I was born and raised, where I was educated and where I found my artistic voice. Let us now raise all our voices through painting, sculpture, theater, dance, music, arts education and philanthropy to say with one clear message, that arts in Kansas matter.

MU researchers strive for healthy ice cream KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — University of Missouri food scientists are working to build a healthier ice cream — not by reducing fat and sugar, but by adding antioxidants and other beneficial ingredients. Researchers at the university’s Columbia campus are in the final stages of taste-testing what they call “multi-functional ice cream,” The Kansas City Star reported. Food chemist Ingolf Gruen and his research team are tinkering with four healthy ingredients: antioxidants, dietary fiber, probiotics and prebiotics. Gruen’s group hope to offer their fruit-flavored desserts at Buck’s Ice Cream Place, a campus shop connected to the food science labs, as soon as this summer. Gruen realizes that perfecting the healthy concoction’s flavors is vital. “Food is all about taste,” he said. “If something doesn’t taste good, people don’t come back. We do a lot of sensory studies in our department.” Doctoral student Ting-ning Lin is leading the taste tests. She cautioned that even with a healthy ice cream, moderation remains key. “Ice cream is high-fat compared with other products, so moderate eating is still very important,” Lin said.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Selection process flawed Too tall to fit into anybody’s pocket, too smart to trust anyone else’s views over his own and too funny to deliver his opinions in drab fashion, Jay Bilas cemented his reputation as the E.F. Hutton of college basketball on Selection Sunday. When Bilas talks college hoops, it pays to shut up and listen. Bilas played for Duke and doesn’t let that fact make him favor his alma mater. He also doesn’t let it keep him from giving the Blue Devils the credit they deserve. It seemed clear that the four No. 1 seeds should be Kansas, Ohio State, Duke and Pittsburgh, yet so many others kept talking about Notre Dame and not Duke. Bilas predicted the right four, but it was after the selections, when he disagreed with the NCAA Tournament committee, that Bilas really shined. Bilas rightly slammed the selections of UAB and VCU. “These are horrible decisions,” Bilas railed on ESPN. “I’ve been saying for years I think we need basketball people on the committee.” What a novel concept, basketball people on a selection committee for a basketball tournament. “When I look at UAB and VCU at the expense of some of these other teams — and now listen, we’re not talking about great teams here, I understand that — but I wonder whether some people on the committee know whether the ball’s round. That sounds harsh, but I’m wondering. These were bad decisions. They’re indefensible.” In trying to defend the indefensible, selection committee chairman Gene Smith acknowledged the dreaded RPI computer ratings entered the equation. It long ago was time for the RPI to RIP, but it remains a totally unreliable security blanket for weary committee members. It’s an awful system that places far too much emphasis on the winloss record of opponents. Far better computer rankings, such as Sagarin predictor and kenpom.com, are out there. If the committee needed help from computers, Sagarin predictor identifies a more worthy team from the same state as Virginia Commonwealth. Anybody with a clue must agree Virginia Tech is more deserving than VCU, yet insiderpi.com lists VCU with a 49 RPI and Virginia Tech with a 60. Sagarin predictor has Virginia Tech at 33, VCU at 86. Colorado, which beat Kansas State three times and Texas once, is 34 spots behind UAB in RPI ratings and 10 spots ahead of the Blazers in Sagarin predictor. Scrap the whole concept of a committee. A better idea: One person a year chosen by Bilas, with vast college basketball experience and enough selfconfidence not to have an agenda, should select the preliminary field, announce it on TV and then debate the selections with Bilas for 30 minutes. Exactly two hours later, the chairman then reveals whether he or she has made Bilas’ suggested changes or stayed with the original brackets. Think that selection show might get decent ratings?

JAYHAWKS, FROM LEFT, MARIO LITTLE, TRAVIS RELEFORD, Marcus Morris, Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor laugh as they walk around the Allen Fieldhouse concourse following the NCAA Tournament selection show on Sunday. KU will face Boston U. on Friday in Tulsa, Okla.

Top-seeded KU draws another ‘B’ team By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

A savvy Kansas University staff member issued Bill Self a goodnatured warning before the coach walked into a media interview room Sunday night in Allen Fieldhouse. “Somebody said to me, ‘They are going to question you about the letter B.’ I said, ‘Why? What starts with the letter B?’ Then I realized I’ve been stung and hurt deeply twice by the letter B,” Self said with a big smile. “Hopefully we’ll be better prepared for that (this time).” Self ’s Jayhawks on Sunday learned that, as the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament’s Southwest Regional, they’d been matched against Boston University in a first-round matchup at 5:50 p.m. Friday at BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla.

Folks who follow KU are well aware that Self’s Jayhawks lost in the first round the last two times the Jay- KANSAS hawks faced a VS. team whose name started BOSTON U. with the letter B — Bucknell in Teams: No. 12005 and seeded Kansas Bradley in 2006. (32-2) vs. No. 16 “I wasn’t here Boston U. (21-13) for either of When: 5:50 p.m. those. Maybe Friday Brady (Morn- Where: Tulsa, Okla. ingstar) was here, but he’s TV: TBS (cable been here since chs. 51, 251) forever,” KU senior guard Tyrel Reed said. “I don’t have any of those Bradley or Bucknell woes. I was still in high school.” Actually, it was so long ago, even fifth-year senior Morningstar was not yet enrolled at KU when the

Jayhawks went down in the first round. “No,” Morningstar said, asked if he had any concerns. “My name starts with a B.” That out of the way, Self said he thought Boston U. (21-13) was an unusually tough No. 16 seed and said the Southwest Regional, which has Notre Dame as a No. 2 seed, P urdue as No. 3 and Louisville as No. 4, was rugged. “Weren’t you guys surprised Boston is a 16 seed?” Self asked a pair of media members after a 15minute news conference. “When I did my bracket in my mind who the 16 seeds were going to be, I didn’t think Boston was going to be one of them. “I was a little surprised to see their name come up,” added Self, who has never coached a game against Boston U. “Of course, everybody sees it through their own skewed eyes,

and coaches have a hard time being objective about certain things, (but) I think it’s a hard draw. Every coach out there probably thinks it’s a tough draw to get where you want to go. You’ve got to beat good teams to get where you want to go, period.” There were few surprises on a Sunday in which KU earned the second overall No. 1 seed behind Ohio State. Yet some wacky side stories emerged. A victory over Boston would push KU into a secondround game Sunday against either Illinois or UNLV. Self, who has worked as head coach at Tulsa schools Oral Roberts and Tulsa, coached at Illinois for three years before replacing Roy Williams at KU. One of UNLV’s players is former KU forward Quintrell Thomas. Please see KANSAS, page 3B

BOSTON UNIVERSITY’S JOHN HOLLAND, FRONT, drives on Stony Brook’s Dallis Joyner and Preye Preboye in the final seconds of the America East title game Saturday in Boston.

Not since Paul Revere’s midnight ride in the late 18th century have so many eyes been fixed on Boston with survival on the line. Back then, Revere’s famous “One if by land, two if by sea” system helped the patriots stave off the British during the Revolutionary War. Today, with the Boston University men’s basketball team preparing to carry the torch for the city into this week’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament, it’s a spot in the Round of 32 that hangs in the balance. Though not quite as historic as Revere’s contribution, Boston U.

Buckeyes claim Big Ten tourney title The Associated Press

No. 1 Ohio St. 71, Penn St. 60 INDIANAPOLIS — Jared Sullinger’s shot was off throughout the Big Ten tournament — and he still dominated. The freshman forward had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Ohio

State defeated Penn State in the Big Ten tournament final on Sunday. Sullinger made just 12 of 36 field goals in the tournament, but he still was named most outstanding player. He averaged 16.3 points and 14 rebounds to help the Buckeyes (32-2) repeat as champions.

No. 5 Duke 75, No. 6 North Carolina 58 GREENSBORO, N.C. — Nolan Smith had 20 points and 10 assists, and Duke ended North Carolina’s run of big comebacks with a victory in the ACC tournament finals. Kyle Singler added 11 points for the Blue Devils (30-4).

By Tim Kawakami San Jose Mercury News

There are many reasons not to pick Kansas University, and once again I will ignore them all. Does Kansas have strong enough pointguard play to win the 2011 national title? Maybe not. Will the weight of the Jayhawks’ past tournament failures grind their gears in the early rounds once again? Watch out! After I was burned picking Kansas last year, will I doom KU and myself by doing it this year, too? Obviously, it’s possible. But Kansas, the No. 1 seed in the Southwest Region, is still the pick — via a clean, clinical process of elimination. Basically, it’s easy to find fault with Kansas, especially after last season’s second-round flameout as the No. 1 overall seed. But it’s even easier to eliminate the remaining 67 teams. Here’s why I didn’t eliminate Kansas: Behind twin power forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris, the Jayhawks lead the nation in field-goal percentage (by far) and have enough perimeter talent to take advantage of collapsing defenses. Kansas also is 19th in rebounding, and that is a great combination. In fact, five of the past nine national champions, including the Jayhawks in 2008, were top-22 teams in both field-goal percentage and rebounding that season. That means you’re efficient enough to maximize your offensive possessions and you’re strong enough to get more possessions for yourself via the glasswork. Which is great for tournament play. So I’m picking Kansas. And here’s how I eliminated the other top contenders: ● Ohio State, this year’s No. 1 overall seed, is out because it has point-guard issues, too, and because the Buckeyes’ region drew the toughest No. 2 (North Carolina) and toughest No. 4 (Kentucky) in the brackets. Despite my general discounting of John Calipari in the tournament, I’ve got his red-hot Kentucky team beating Ohio State in the East regional semifinals and then getting to the national championship game. ● Notre Dame is out because it’s the No. 2 seed in Kansas’ region, and if those two teams meet, the Jayhawks have too much firepower to lose in that potential regional final. ● Pittsburgh, the Southeast No. 1, is out because there always comes a time when the Panthers have to make a couple of late baskets in the tournament, and they never do. One side note: Pitt joins Kansas as the only teams in the top 22 in both field-goal percentage and rebounding. I’ve got Pitt making it to the Final Four but getting stopped by Kansas in the national semifinals. ● Duke, the West No. 1, is out because the Blue Devils finally got a very, very difficult draw. Duke probably will face tough No. 4 Texas in the regional semifinal round, and if it survives that, I can’t see Duke knocking off No. 2 San Diego State in Anaheim in the regional finals. ● I’ve got San Diego State getting to the Final Four, but the Aztecs probably don’t have the octane to win six in a row. I’ve got them losing to Kentucky in the national semis. ● I’m not picking Kentucky to win it all, however, due to general Calipari reasons. He hasn’t won a national title and probably never will. This year, I think Calipari will come close again — as he did with Memphis in 2008. And what team beat Calipari in the national title game that year? None other than Kansas. It’s like magic how that happens. Some other things that stick out to me in the 2011 brackets: ● If you’re looking for early upsets, I’m circling No. 13 Belmont over struggling No. 4 Wisconsin in the Southeast and No. 14 Bucknell over exhausted No. 3 Connecticut in the West.

No. 15 Kentucky 70, No. 12 Florida 54 A T L A N T A — Brandon Knight scored 17 points, Darius Miller hit two crucial three-pointers, and Kentucky cruised to another SEC tournament title, routing regularseason champion Florida. Kentucky (25-8) won its sixth straight.

NATIONAL BRIEFS Brewers stop Royals, 7-5 PHOENIX — Takashi Saito stood on the mound at Maryvale Baseball Park on Sunday and thought of his family in Japan. Saito pitched the first inning of the Milwaukee Brewers’ 7-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals, giving up two runs on four hits while striking out two. He said it was difficult to get into a good rhythm. The Brewers had given him some time off to check on his family in Miyagi City, but he returned to the club Sunday. “I have gotten more information about what’s going on, and I am in a better place (emotionally),” Saito said through an interpreter. The 41-year-old Saito’s wife and three daughters were OK in his current home in Yokohama, but the whereabouts of other family members were initially uncertain. K.C. shortstop Alcides Escobar, who was acquired by the Royals when they sent pitcher Zack Greinke to Milwaukee, hit an inside-the-park homer in the second. Infielder Mike Aviles had two hits for the Royals on Sunday on his 30th birthday.

NFL Optimism visible for ‘11 NEW YORK — There will be an NFL season in 2011. That’s what Commissioner Roger Goodell keeps saying. So do many of the owners and players, even though labor talks collapsed, the union dissolved itself, and star players including MVP Tom Brady asked for a preliminary injunction to prevent a lockout hours before the league even implemented one. Despite the nasty rhetoric of last week, no one would paint the doomsday scenario of no football come September. Instead, we hear Chargers president Dean Spanos say, “We will get through this. There will be a new agreement and we’re looking forward to playing football this season.” And Bears president Ted Phillips echoed with “A deal will get done and we expect to play football in 2011.” “There will be no negotiating for a while,” said Gary Roberts, dean of the Indiana University School of Law in Indianapolis. “Both sides will wait to see how the legal maneuvering plays out.

Bigger field, same complaints By Shannon Ryan Chicago Tribune

An expanded tournament doesn’t mean more teams are content with the results. In the first season of the NCAA basketball tournament’s increased field of 68 teams, there were just as many hurt feelings and as much controversy swirling. While few disputed the No. 1 overall seed handed to Ohio State or a record 11 teams from the Big East earning entry, the annual who’s-left-out conversation was a competition in itself. The new-look tournament will have every game televised, including the “First Four” play-in games Tuesday and Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio, that feature four atlarge teams and four champions from smaller conferences. Of course, some wondered, what about us? “When we were looking at those (last at-large) teams, there were a number of quality teams on the board that we had to consider, and we just didn’t have enough slots for all the teams that were in, even though we had three more slots this year,” said Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith, chairman of the NCAA selection committee. Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg was shaking his head.

Teams such as Virginia Commonwealth (23-11), Alabama-Birmingham (22-8) and Georgia (21-11), which lost twice to tournament outsider Alabama, were considered surprise at-large bids. Meanwhile, for the fourth consecutive year, Greenberg’s Hokies (21-11) were on the verge of making the tournament but had the door shut on them. Colorado (21-13), which beat Kansas State three times and defeated Texas and Missouri, also was snubbed, and St. Mary’s (25-8) and Harvard (23-6) were questionably absent. “At the end of the day, when we stacked Virginia Tech’s resume up against all the other teams, we just didn’t feel like they were a team that should be in the at-large field,” Smith said. “While they significantly improved their nonconference schedule and teams that they played, it’s still about how you did.” The No. 1 Buckeyes (32-2) play close to home in Cleveland in the first round in the East Region. The other top seeds went to Kansas (32-2) in the Southwest, Pittsburgh (275) in the Southeast and Duke (30-4), which edged out Notre Dame (26-6), in the West. The top seeds own impressive resumes, but the overall field is one of the least luminous, despite its volume.

“I think it’ll be a hard game if we advance regardless,” Self said. “It’s amazing. In ’08, UNLV was an 8-9 (seed), In ’10, UNLV is an 8-9, and in ’11, UNLV is 8-9, all in our region. Even though we haven’t played them but once (with KU winning in ’08), this will be the third time we’ve prepared for them. “It is unique. The last three coaches that coached at Illinois — Lon (Kruger, UNLV) playing Illinois, then the winner of that game if we advance is playing the guy who used to coach at Illinois as well. It could be pretty interesting.” As far as Thomas ... “The first thing I thought of when I saw UNLV on the screen was Quintrell,” Morningstar said. “I thought that was cool we might get to see him.” Self has fond memories of the UNLV sophomore, who left KU after his freshman season. “We like him, and the players stay in touch with him,” Self said. “I don’t know how much they talk to him, but he’s done well. I’d think he would like that a lot to get a chance to play his old school and old teammates. There’s absolutely no animosity with Quintrell at all. I thought he made a good decision for playing time moving forward. “They’ve got a tough game Friday. If we win, whoever we

for five years. “You’re sitting there with butterflies and the suspense .... And then you see Kansas, you’re like, ‘Wow, we get to go to Oklahoma to play Kansas.’ What a great thrill for these guys, this program, this university.” The Terriers reached this point by winning the America East Conference tournament championship in a thrilling, 56-54, victory against Stony Brook last Saturday in Boston. In that one, America East player of the year John Holland helped lead a furious second-half comeback, in which BU trailed by as many as 15 points and won after Holland sank two free throws with 2.4 sec-

There’d be some sentimental value for that game, I think.” Of returning to Tulsa, Self said: “We had a lot of fun at Oral Roberts and Tulsa. People equate our success at the University of Tulsa as my stay in Tulsa. We spent four years at Oral Roberts and had great success there. We moved across town and are so fortunate it worked out at both places. I don’t think it’ll be a trip down memory lane, but

it’ll be cool to play there.” KU’s players on Feb. 27 spent four hours at the Tulsa airport. The team’s return flight from its game against Oklahoma in Norman couldn’t land in Topeka because of fog and was re-routed to Tulsa. The Jayhawks rented a couple of old buses for the drive back to Lawrence. “We sat at the airport. We breathed some of that good Tulsa air already,” Reed joked. “I imagine our accommodations and the bus we use will probably be higher-quality going south to Tulsa this time,” Self cracked.

Holland, a senior who averages 19 points and six rebounds per contest, scored 23 of his game-high 27 points in the second half to lead BU to victory. It marks the seventh time BU has advanced to the NCAA Tournament and, perhaps more importantly, makes the Terriers the only team from the city to qualify for this year’s dance, as nearby programs Harvard and Boston College were left out of the bracket. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding the berth, Chambers plans to have his team focused on one

I think we have a young group that hasn’t reached their potential yet. We haven’t shot the ball well in a couple of weeks, so I don’t think we’ve really played up to our capabilities. I’m just hoping to come to practice, get better, get better, and who knows? Just compete, play hard and see what happens.” BU is no stranger to facing highly ranked teams. Early in the season, the Terriers were beaten by then-No. 6 Villanova, 82-66, and, in late November, lost, 91-57, at then-No. 10 Kentucky. BU and KU will meet Friday in Tulsa, with the winner meeting UNLV or Illinois on Sunday. Win two games and it’s on to the Sweet 16 at San Antonio’s Alamodome.

Quintrell Thomas, who played sparingly for Kansas University during the 200809 season before transferring to UNLV, said Sunday he’d welcome a potential secondround NCAA Tournament game against the Jayhawks. “I like it. That’s definitely a good chance to go against them. I’ve kind of wanted that since I've been here,” Thomas, a 6-foot-8, 245pound sophomore from Newark, N.J., told lasvegassun.com. Thomas, who has started 25 of 32 games for the Rebels, averages 6.6 points and 5.2 boards a game. “That’s one thing we might have to explore a little bit because they play two true big men at a time. But I think we match up well with them,” Thomas said. “We have really athletic guards. They have really athletic guards, so we should match up well.” Thomas — he indicated he “hasn’t talked to them (Jayhawks) recently, but before, I did” — said there are no hard feelings toward KU. “I’ve long moved on,” Thomas said. “While I was there, I was a little upset, but

How do I remain faithful to the promise I made to my sister when I am heartsick with what John is doing? I realize his love life is no longer my business, but how do I get past the feelings of disgust and anger that the two of them sleep together in the bed my sister died in only four months ago? — Heartbroken

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Heartbroken: Some widowers are so lonely that they often find companionship much sooner than the rest of the family thinks is decent. Please try not to judge John for this.

‘Bachelor,’ ballet and bling “The Bachelor” (7 p.m., ABC) wraps up its 15th season tonight as Brad looks back at his second chance to find true love with millions of TV viewers looking on, not to mention being surrounded by producers, editors, camera operators and sound booms in a fake-resort environment. A mere mortal would find that all distracting. But not a man with love on his mind. You have to give Brad credit for persistence. Apparently and despite all of the distractions of being part of the publicity machinery of this prime time soap opera, he has lost his heart this season. Not once, but twice — to women named Chantal and Emily. Just what are the chances that somebody named Brad would encounter a Chantal in the first place? Was it fate or just casting? Before popping the question to one lucky lady, Brad will sit down with Chris Harrison and stare squarejawed into the camera to share his thoughts about both women and his experience. Experts have written that names can sometimes bring destiny. I just wonder if you name your baby Brad will he have a higher chance of appearing on something as fake as “The Bachelor”? After Brad makes his big decision and distributes one last long stem, the instant retrospectives continue on “The Bachelor: After the Final Rose” (9 p.m., ABC). ● On a similar theme, VH1 introduces “Wedding Wars” (8 p.m., VH1), yet another nuptial-themed reality contest in which a dozen prospective brides and grooms take out time from planning their lives together to compete for the prize of a destination wedding/honeymoon. ● “Beverly Hills Fabulous” (9 p.m., VH1) documents the Elgin Charles Salon, the only African American-run beauty salon located in the posh neighborhood. ● “Love & Hip Hop” (9:30 p.m., VH1) explores the women of the music scene as they struggle against the genre’s rampant sexism and cope with their second-class status. ● The crossover between pop culture and ballet doesn’t stop with the Oscarwinning “Black Swan.” Tonight, America’s favorite perky cartoon character prepares for her big recital on “Dora the Explorer: Dora’s Ballet Adventure” (6 p.m., Nickelodeon)

Tonight’s other highlights ● Bradley Cooper appears on “Inside the Actor’s Studio” (6 p.m., Bravo). ● Based on a book of the same name by Naomi Klein, the 2009 documentary “The Shock Doctrine” (6:05 p.m., Sundance) offers a critique of global capitalism. ● Casey’s impulsive moves imperil the team on “The Event” (7 p.m., NBC). ● It’s hard to heal a matador’s broken heart on “House” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Martinez takes charge on “The Event” (8 p.m., NBC). ● Perps prowl a posh precinct on “The Chicago Code” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Tony visits Nicaragua on “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” (8 p.m., Travel). ● Kidnapping, amnesia and murder on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS). ● A jealous husband’s desperate measures on “Harry’s Law” (9 p.m., NBC). ● An intern (Jonah Hill) has his hands full with a decadent rocker (Russell Brand) in the 2010 comedy “Get Him to the Greek” (9 p.m., Cinemax).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, March 14: Learn to communicate your bottom line and what you desire. You might not be comfortable with your options, but with willing associates and friends, you'll find the path. If you are single, you will discover how easily you could tumble into a relationship. Make sure you really want what is being offered. If you are attached, more close times add to the romance. Cancer enjoys being with you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Your mind will be on a domestic or personal matter, no matter what. If you can get this situation handled, you will be happier and able to direct your energy positively. Tonight: Choose something relaxing. Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Keep a conversation flowing, even though it might not always be comfortable. A sense of warning could mark the moment. Tonight: Catch up on a friend's news. Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Be aware of your budget and make good decisions. You might not know what is workable

at first, so follow through on various ideas. Tonight: Head home. Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Speak your mind, knowing what will happen if you don't. Others will make assumptions that might not be right; therefore, it could be a problem. Tonight: Chat away. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Kick back, especially if you are feeling less than upbeat. Perhaps enjoy some free time alone or working alone. Tonight: Take a deep breath. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Open up to possibilities by listening to others' suggestions. Meetings prove to be a fertile source of ideas. Brainstorm with others. Tonight: Return calls. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Stay sensitive to what others offer, and be aware of the unusual factors that are playing into a decision. If a boss feels insecure, he or she could become difficult. Tonight: A must appearance. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ Take an overview, and don't react to a situation, if possible. When you detach from the immediate, you will understand a child's or loved one's reaction. Tonight: Let your mind wander. Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21)

★★★★ Work with different people directly. This type of attention always gives a sense of importance to the other party. Notice how simple it is to give that feeling. Tonight: Mosey on home. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Keep reaching out for someone you care about. You might be a bit put off by this person's attitude and actions. Tonight: Visit with others. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Maintain a nice, level approach to a situation that could impact you. You might feel like taking more radical action. Don't — time is your ally. Someone reveals his or her caring. Tonight: Get as much rest as possible. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Your creativity emerges when dealing with issues, friends, children or nearly anything. Just allow this energy to manifest. Tonight: So what if it is Monday? — The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only. Bigar's Stars is based on the degree of your sun at birth. The sign name is simply a label astrologers put on a set of degrees for convenience. For best results, readers should refer to the dates following each sign.

Dear Annie: My beloved sister, “Dawn,” died last year following a long battle with cancer. Her husband of 43 years was a caring and capable caregiver. At the memorial service held in their church, “John” spoke tearfully of their love. Ten years ago, their marriage was rocked by John’s affair with an old classmate. They went through counseling and worked things out, but there were times when Dawn suspected he was unfaithful. She stayed with him, however, and before she died made me promise to remain on good terms with John and continue to include him in family gatherings. However, just four months after her death, John began seeing “Mary.” She is now his constant companion, staying in his home and even going with him on vacations that Dawn would have loved. He has brought her to church and introduced her to friends. This has broken our onceclose family. Dawn’s oldest son no longer speaks to his father because of what he claims is “ample evidence” that John was unfaithful during his marriage. I have tried to keep an open mind, even meeting Mary, but my siblings have concluded that John’s relationship with her is a slap in

The Jayhawks’ bats were just about the only thing working in Sunday’s 10-4 setback to Eastern Michigan at Hoglund Ballpark. “When you’re going bad,” Kansas coach Ritch Price said, “everything gets magnified.” KU (7-8) jumped ahead, 20, in the first inning on loud RBI hits by Alex DeLeon and Jake Marasco, but quickly squandered the lead after an error by Chris Manship — one of four KU miscues on the day — allowed the Eagles to rally for four runs in the second. Though only one of the four was earned, the Eagles smacked around Tanner Poppe in the frame, cracking two loud doubles and an opposite-field homer by Ken Battison. “I actually thought Tanner

St. Patrick’s Day, wear your green on your head rather than on your sleeve. This feathered headband will keep you from getting pinched, and it’s perfectly festive for paradegoing. SUPPLIES ● Feathers ● Scissors ● Embellishment, such as buttons, rhinestones, beads or sequins ● Sew-in interfacing ● Chipboard ● Hole punch ● Hot glue gun and glue ● Headband INSTRUCTIONS 1. Arrange feathers and embellishment until you find an arrangement you like. I used green feathers from a rummage sale, black feathers from a craft store and screenprinted wood I bought at a Ladies of Lawrence Artwork (LOLA) show from Early Jewelry. My arrangement has four long green feathers on the bottom, three shorter green feathers for the next layer, three small black feathers on top of that and two wooden circles to top it all off. For a more subtle look, you can use fewer feathers and make a narrower

KATIE KRITIKOS arrangement. On the feathers that had a shaft sticking below the feathery part, I cut that off. 2. Cut a teardrop shape from the interfacing smaller than the shape of your arrangement. You want the feathers to stick off the edge about an inch over the top and a bit over the sides. 3. Glue with hot glue along the shaft of each feather, first glueing the bottom layer to the interfacing and working up to the embellishment. I only glued about halfway up each spine so that the glue wouldn’t show. Once I had all the layers on, I glued the top and sides of the bottom layer to the interfacing where it wouldn’t show through the other layers. 4. Cut out a long oval from

the chipboard. I cut open a cereal box, then used a strip for the project and the rest for my hot glueing surface. The oval should be about an inch wide and half an inch shorter than the length of your interfacing. Mine is about 3 1/2 inches long. Punch three overlapping holes a quarter-inch from each end of the oval. This piece allows you to slip the piece on and off of a headband rather than attaching

it permanently, because not every day is a feathered-headband kind of day. 5. Glue the oval to the interfacing between the punched holes, with the bottom hole near the bottom of the interfacing. 6. When the glue is set, slip the piece onto a headband and slip the headband on your head. Then head downtown for the Lawrence St. Patrick’s Day parade in style!

he challenges of changing and adapting to life on three continents during her formative years, and her father’s encouragement and example, instilled a deep sense of hope and optimism in Gina Pacumbaba-Watson. These qualities served her well when she decided to enter the engineering field and launch her own award-winning business, GPW & Associates, in 1997. Born in the Philippines, she moved to Manhattan at age 2 where her father, a Rockefeller scholar, completed his doctorate in plant pathology at Kansas State University. PacumbabaWatson and her two siblings faced some challenges during grade and middle school. “Other kids bullied and taunted us. They called us ‘foreigners’ because we looked different to them and spoke a second language,” she says. “My father advised me not to let anyone make me feel less than who I was. He told me to be proud of my roots because they define who I am.” Early high school years (1976-79) were spent in Kinshasa, Zaire, where her father was part of a task force of scientists who discovered 200 resistant varieties of Cassava now thriving throughout Africa. Although the initial culture shock was immense, Pacumbaba-Watson adapted well and enjoyed her time there. Her family returned to Manhattan for her final year of high school. She became a U.S. citizen and enrolled at K-State’s College of Engineering. Despite not knowing any minority women in architectural engineering back then, she remained undaunted. “I loved drawing and design, had an aptitude for math and wanted a profession where I could support myself and a family,” she says.

GINA PACUMBABA-WATSON, president and chief executive officer of GPW, is pictured with her three children Sydney, 15, left; Jack, 6, and Maria, 16, and her husband, Karl Watson, who works as chief financial officer for GPW. Pacumbaba-Watson started the engineering firm GPW, which is in its 13th year in operation. Pacumbaba-Watson supported herself financially by working as a drafter and graduated with a B.S. in architectural engineering in 1988. She secured work at Albert Kahn Associates in Detroit. She married Karl Watson in 1989, moved to Lawrence and worked for several engineering companies in Kansas City before working in lighting design at Hallmark. Two children later, life got tough. “I commuted to Kansas City and Karl to Topeka, so our daughters (2 and 3) were spending nearly 10 hours daily in daycare,” she says. “I re-prioritized. Family needed to come first.” She left Hallmark in 1997 and set up a lighting design company in her basement. “The flexibility was great. The children spent limited time in daycare while I went out looking for clients,” she says. Finding steady work was initially challenging. She kept knocking on

doors, built good relationships, gained national certification as a Woman Business Enterprise (WBE), a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), and completed an executive business program at TUC University, Dartmouth. She eventually expanded her company into an engineering consulting company specializing in lighting, electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems design. Her company, now situated at 1001 N.H., has 20 employees and numbers Bank of America, Walmart and AT&T among its clients. Despite the increased business, she prioritizes and treasures family time. She’s heavily involved in her son’s grade school and her daughters’ extracurricular activities. “It’s vital for me to balance business and family life,” she says. “It’s also important to continue growing the business to support our employee’s families.”

he common misconception is that nothing “real” ever happens on social networking sites like Facebook. People make “friends” who they never see and “like” things or causes they don’t actually participate in. However, for Carol Ann Zuk and John Gladman, nothing could be further from the truth. The two old Ottawa High School friends reconnected via Facebook, and soon after started up Bombshell Pin Up Productions, a photography company specializing in shooting images that turn everyday women into the elegant starlets of vintage Hollywood. “Our motto and goal is to take a

The girls look at themselves and they can still recog-

nize themselves and how great they look.” Currently, Zuk handles the initial consultations and sets up the photo shoots, while Gladman applies his artistic knowledge and skill to the photos, using computer programs to add in layers of makeup and other effects, all of which are designed to heighten the allure of the pictures. The end result ends up looking like a pin-up poster from the 1940s and ’50s. “I can use things that emulate pencils, water colors — I do the make-up on the skin tones,” Gladman says. “I use heavier oils on the hair so it has a heavier texture to it. I just keep working the image over like that. They take between twofive hours on each one. I’m burning some midnight oil with the volume we get.” Gladman says since its founding in May 2010, Bombshell’s popularity has skyrocketed, growing so quickly the business recently relocated to another site. “We’ve outgrown the place here in North Lawrence now. We’ve signed a lease and we’ll be moving across the street. I’m thrilled to have found a niche, and it seems to be working. We’ve rolled up over 9,000

Facebook fans, which makes us, as far as I can tell, the most popular pin-up photography business on Facebook. We were getting 65,000 hits a day before Christmas. It just boggles the mind.” Zuk says the shoot is for any woman, of any age group, but she especially identifies with women over 30 years of age. “I like tailoring it to older women, because they’re kinda lost in the shuffle. You’re over at the age of 30 in modeling. It’s nice to catch girls when they’re young, too, because that’s when the self-image things start. Women do a lot for their children and ignore themselves, so this is something nice for them.” Zuk believes popular media is pushing a body image that is impossible for some women to attain and can actually be harmful. She says her Bombshell Pin Ups can help women feel comfortable in their own skin again. “I think there’s a lot expected from women,” she says. “You’re supposed to be perfect, work outside the home, be a great mother and be sexy. There’s a lot of pressure. I don’t know why, but I grew up and didn’t like myself much. I felt like my body was never quite good enough. I don’t know why — it’s just pressure. We shouldn’t be

told what to look like; variety is what makes the world go round. It’s what makes it all interesting.” Amelia Wilson, a patron of Bombshell

Pin Ups, agrees with Carol’s assessment and says her photo shoot has helped her sense of self-worth. She says she’s more confident in who she is since her photo shoot in May 2010. “I think women are looking for some validation in who they are and they don’t always get it,” she says. “I think women want to feel better about themselves. They see how these women look (on Bombshell’s Facebook page). Not all of these women are a size two, or skinny — they’re real women. Seeing women as real makes other women want to get it done.” Wilson says the photo shoot can help remind women that they can be glamorous, something that can be lost in the day-to-day grind of life. She says she has recommended the experience to many of her friends and family. “Women, in general, don’t realize how beautiful they are. When they see a photo like this they can take a step back and say, ‘Oh, wow, I am pretty.’ I remember driving away that day and feeling so excited and overwhelmed with how awesome it is. Carol Ann and John help you feel really comfortable. It was a really good time, it makes you feel kind of special.”

ell, it’s that time of year again. March Madness is upon us. A holiday season around here. And what’s the best way to celebrate a holiday? With festive desserts. This cake, of course, is inspired by all things Jayhawk. Before we get back to basketball, I have a little football story. I took my nephew, Kane, and niece, Lily, to their first KU football game this fall. We attended the Georgia Tech game, and come to think of it, coach Turner Gill probably should have made sure we returned to another game. We’ll never know, but we might have been good luck charms. Anyway, on our way home from the game, we walked through the The Runner, the Baker, the Kansas Union. We Wedding Cake Maker took a few minutes to stop and admire the evolution of the Jayhawk on the fourth floor, from its NIKKI OVERFELT long-legged, humble beginning to the menacing years with the addition of talons to the current smiling, Trajan-font version. We discussed their differences, laughed at the funny ones and picked our favorites. The Jayhawk of 1912 was the unanimous favorite. He may not look menacing, but according to the KU Athletics website, the artist gave him shoes so he could kick opponents. I’ve always been partial to this Jayhawk, so it was an easy choice when it came time to make a March-Madness inspired dessert. I mean, look at him. With his long legs like Wilt Chamberlain, he just looks like a basketball player. Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo Plus the shape seemed simple enough to replicate in an edible way. THIS CRIMSON AND BLUE VELVET CAKE features a 1912 Jayhawk For this cake, I decided to make a red velvet cake with made from fondant.

half of the layers in blue. I like to call it a crimson and blue velvet cake. I used my mom’s recipe, which she got years ago from a family friend, who got it from one of her hair-styling clients. It’s a family favorite around our house. Unlike most red velvet recipes, this one doesn’t have a cream cheese frosting. You actually start by heating up milk and flour on the stove, and it calls for regular sugar instead of powdered sugar. The result is a light, whipped-cream-like, not-too-sweet frosting. My mom swears by it when it comes to red velvet cake. To make this six-layer cake, I made three batches of batter: one red, one blue and one half-red, half-blue. I also made four batches of frosting, which takes eight sticks of butter, to cover the whole thing. But you don’t have to make one quite so tall. I was quite ambitious, wanting to use a 9-inch Jayhawk. You can always make a smaller Jayhawk or bake a rectangular cake and lay it on top instead up against the side. The Jayhawk is made out of fondant. I printed out the image, then cut it out so I could trace it on the fondant. This is the first time I’ve tried making a Jayhawk, and I was happy with the way it turned out. It’s not too complicated, plus you can use this technique with any of the Jayhawks. If KU isn’t your favorite team participating in March Madness, feel free to switch things up, for example, with a Power Cat and a purple velvet cake. So whether your team wins or loses in the tournament, I think this cake is a winner.

Crimson and Blue Velvet Cake 1/2 cup shortening 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 to 2 ounces red (or blue) food coloring, depending on how deep you want the color 2 teaspoons cocoa 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup buttermilk 2 1/4 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vinegar 1 teaspoon baking soda Cream together shortening, sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.

4. Lay the Jayhawk on the fondant and trace around it with the X-acto knife. I just smoothed out the edges with my finger. 5. Roll out the red fondant. Use the paper image to trace around the Jayhawk’s shoes. For the parts that can’t be traced, finish cutting it free-hand, using the image as a guide.

Roll out the blue fondant. Trace the head, body and feathers. For the parts that can’t be traced, finish cutting it free-hand. The tricky part is getting the blue to line up with the yellow where the eye goes. Where the blue and yellow meet, I actually laid the blue fondant down over the yellow to use as a guide to trace.

I used a spatula to loosen the Jayhawk off the mat to make sure it didn’t stick to it while it was drying. 15. I let mine dry out for two days, just to make sure it was sturdy enough. Be careful when handling it. The skinny legs are especially fragile.

Animals, reptiles teaching tools at school

awrence classrooms aren’t all about textbooks, lectures and worksheets. A few teachers around town keep a different type of learning tool: animals.

Sometimes one will crash into the legs of a student’s chair, or another will hit the closed door. The kids hardly notice anymore, though.

SHEMAR KAMARA, left, Haley Wiest and Collin Harris recently spent some quality time with the room snake aptly named Cornelius. He resides in Anna Busby’s sixth-grade classroom at Schwegler School. SNAKES, REPTILES, AMPHIBIANS AND SPIDERS, FREE STATE HIGH SCHOOL Animals line the walls of David Reber’s biology class tucked in a far corner of Free State High School. Most are common in Kansas, such as the copperhead snake, black rat snake or common snapper. “I can increase students’ awareness of things in the world that aren’t people,” Reber says. The boa at the front of the room

obviously is not native to the state, but Reber got it when a pet store was closed by the health department. This semester Reber isn’t teaching a class that directly interacts with the animals, but occasionally he teaches plant and animal biology. And while some people get squeamish about sitting next to snakes in class, many are enthusiastic about the animals. “It can keep kids interested in school,” he says.

COVER STORY SUGAR THE GUINEA PIG, DEERFIELD SCHOOL Sugar is the newest in a long line of animals that have called Jaime Baggett’s second-grade classroom home. Baggett, who has taught for four years at the school, has kept an iguana, hamster, hermit crabs, rats, a rabbit and an anole, a type of lizard, in her room. “It’s a sense of community for the kids,” Baggett says. “They take care of it.” Twenty-seven students crowded around Sugar’s home, an aquarium filled with shredded paper and a cardboard home. Baggett says Sugar is very low-maintenance, and even the cage’s bedding is made by the kids. “We use homework and other things we don’t really need” says Aidan Novo, 7. Baggett says the animal teaches the kids responsibility because they care for Sugar and take him home during breaks. “We’re here all day, every day, so we might as well have something to love,” she says. COOKIES THE HAMSTER, CORNELIUS THE CORN SNAKE AND OTHERS, SCHWEGLER SCHOOL Cornelius the snake started out about 2 feet long. Now, eight years later, he’s longer than kindergartner Kimberly Cantu is tall. Cantu spends a lot of time in Anna Busby’s sixth-grade classroom, where her older brother, Fernando, is a student. Sometimes Fernando gets to see Cornelius eat his meal: a live mouse, which is a demonstration of the food web for class. But seeing the bright orange snake eat an animal doesn’t really bother him. “You just feed him,” he says.

FREE STATE HIGH SCHOOL junior Kelly Hall sits in her human anatomy class just a couple of feet from the room’s aquarium-bound snapping turtle. The room also contains several snakes, frogs and other critters. Busby says that when the year starts, many students aren’t comfortable around the snake, but they get used to it. “You have to be sensitive to your class,” she says. “By the end of the year, most of the kids are open to the snake.” Busby assigns duties to her students, which include caring for Cookies and the fish and crawdads in the aquarium. Busby took her students out to a local creek to catch the fish and crawdads. “They get to see the cool things in

their neighborhood,” she says. Cookies goes home with a student during breaks, but Busby doesn’t take the responsibility lightly. Students apply by giving her a resume and a letter from their parents before they’re allowed to take Cookies home. It’s as much about enjoyment as learning, though. “This is so much fun,” Busby says. TURTLES AND FISH, BISHOP SEABURY ACADEMY Chris Br yan is careful not to name the animals that find a home in his science classroom at Bishop Seabury. No, a name often means emotional attachment for the kids, which won’t go over well when Bryan releases the animals back into the wild. “I try not to give animals in the classroom names because I don’t want them to be seen as pets,” he says. Instead, Bryan keeps two painted turtles and some sunfish for his students to observe and learn about their local environment. If all else fails, they’re there to watch when science textbooks just won’t keep students’ attention. “It gives them something interesting to pay attention to if they space out,” he says. Students have been enthusiastic about the animals, often coming in to help clean the fish tank. Bryan hopes to make students aware of the wild animals around them, encouraging them to watch birds and squirrels outside. Inside the classroom, students can observe the turtles and fish. “I can’t imagine teaching biology without them,” Bryan says. — Reporter Brenna Hawley can be reached at 832-7217.

Spring break skin sense BY SARAH HENNING

he first time Lee Bittenbender ever went skiing, the Lawrence dermatologist saw firsthand how a lack of sunscreen can really pull the plug on a longplanned bit of fun. “One of the guys, kind of was like, ‘Oh, I never burn.’ And he went out and just got fried — oozy, blistery. Just really bad,” says Dr. Bittenbender of the Dermatology Center of Lawrence, 930 S. Iowa. “(He) could not ski for the next three or four days. You can really ruin a vacation with a little indiscretion from the beginning.” The beginning being before you leave on your trip. So, listen up, spring breakers, that means you. Dave Bonnel of Travel Leaders, 4104 W. Sixth St., says packing a few extra items can be the key to saving your skin, whether you’re hitting the beach or the slopes this spring break. “Enjoying

DR. LEE BITTENBENDER the sun is the main activity of many spring break vacations, and sun protection is critical. Skin that’s been hiding under long pants, long sleeves and woolly hats all winter needs lots of sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30,” Bonnel says. “Pack a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt and a hat in case you’d like to enjoy the warmth of the sun without exposure to burning rays.” Bittenbender says that one of the biggest problems with sunscreen isn’t that people leave it at home or eschew it all together like his former ski buddy, it’s that they don’t wear enough. “Studies show people put on about a

third of the amount that they need to put on to get the protection on the label,” Bittenbender says. “And so, if you’re using an SPF 30 sunscreen, you might think, ‘OK, I’m the average person, I put on a third of what I should, I’ll get about a third of the protection.’ But it’s not even close to that. The protection falls off dramatically as you put on less than what you should.” In fact, Bittenbender says that if you even put on half the amount you need of an SPF 30 sunscreen, you can expect to only get a real SPF of 5.5. Yep, that’s all. “As a rule of thumb, to cover your body with sunscreen takes about an ounce. That’s about a shot glass size,” he says before laughing. “Students might relate to that.” And for those of you who were planning to hit up a tanning bed before hitting the beach? You’re no better off, says Bittenbender. He says that according to a recent study, the UVA rays supplied by the tanning beds don’t do anything to make the sun’s UVB rays any less damaging. “I thought it was interesting somebody actually studied that because I think that’s a common misconception .... you hear people say, ‘I’m going to go get a “base tan” to protect my skin,’” Bittenbender says. “You still get the damage. Now, you may get so tan to where you don’t burn as easily, and maybe if that’s all somebody’s after, then OK, but people need to understand the very basic concept that if it’s tanned, it’s damaged.” Bittenbender says it’s best to put sunscreen on first thing in the day and to always keep it with you to reapply. He seconds Bonnel’s suggestion of taking a longsleeve shirt for more coverage and adds that while it might not be cool, a good investment would be in a widebrimmed hat. “That’s maybe not as stylish as the baseball cap, but the baseball cap only protects from about your hairline to your eyebrows,” he says. “It does nothing for the sides of your face or your ears or next or so on.” What if you misjudge and end up getting burned on vacation anyway? Bittenbender says that if it’s bad

WHAT TO PACK Dr. Lee Bittenbender of the Dermatology Center of Lawrence and Dave Bonnel of Travel Leaders give a run down of what to pack to help your skin stay safe over spring break. ● Sunscreen. Pick at least SPF

30. Plan on using an ounce per application and pack the amount accordingly. ● A wide-brimmed hat. ● Sunglasses. ● A light, long-sleeved shirt that

provides enough protection to be a physical block. ● Aspirin and/or ibuprofen just

in case you do get burned. — Sarah Henning

enough, see a medical professional while you’re there. If not, use a cool compress — like a wet washcloth — on the affected area, pop an aspirin or ibuprofen, and be careful with blisters. “If you have developed blisters, you can maybe poke the blister right at the edge to just let the fluid out, but you don’t want to unroof the blister,” Bittenbender says. “If it’s bad enough, you (should) seek medical attention.” Those of you staying in Lawrence for spring break aren’t off the hook either, by the way. Bittenbender says that getting your kids into the habit of putting on sunscreen as they go out the door to the back yard or park will help when the sun’s rays are more damaging in the middle of the summer. “I think a concept that parents should get is that putting on sunscreen is protecting your kids’ skin — somewhat analogous to when you get in the car and say, ‘Everyone put on their seat belt. No, we’re not going until everybody’s got their seat belt on,’” Bittenbender says. “And with the kids, they’re going to be in and out all day and so, say, ‘OK, before you go out, we’re going to put on sunscreen.’ And hopefully then they’ve got some degree of protection.” — Staff writer Sarah Henning can be reached at 832-7187.

Parent asks how to break news of divorce to teens Double

Dear Dr. Wes and Ben: My husband and I are going to divorce. What’s the best way to break the news to our teenagers (13, 15 and 19)? We want to do the least damage possible. Wes: This is one of those problems in life that actually has pretty strict and straightforward rules, yet in their hurt and anguish, far too many divorcing parents violate them all. So I applaud your concern and appreciate the chance to address this topic. The first rule is what I call getting the story right. You and your husband need to sit down and agree on a) exactly how you want to explain the divorce to your teens; and b) what you will and will not discuss outside of those joint discussions. Ben offers some excellent tips on that below, but suffice it to say that the person getting — dumped in a marriage often struggles to keep out bitterness in any discussion with the children, while the person doing the dumping has a hard time not moving on too easily and too quickly. Nothing is worse for kids in the early stages of a divorce than hearing how bad one parent is or how f indifferent the other. Remember, the less you say, the less you have to take back, so choose your words wisely. The next rule is to create order. Kids need y to know that regardless of the disaster at hand, the parents have it under control. The more you sound like you’ve actually thought this all through, the more easily the teens will adjust. While it’s tempting to solicit input on parenting time (e.g., where the kids will live at any given moment of the week), and your kids are old enough to have input into those decisions, that task is better left to a therapist who can conduct these delicate discussions without revealing everything that was said. Find someone who is specialized in divorce and custody matters. That’s a whole different ball y of wax. Finally, DO NOT use your teens for emotional support. While there may be some tears shed together, you and your spouse should use social or professional support to do your venting and unloading. e Your kids need to see you dealing with your own grief and loss in order to deal

TAKE BEN MARKLEY AND WES CRENSHAW with theirs, so leave the garbage somewhere else. Ben: Here’s a secret: your kids don’t care whose fault it is. That’s secondary. If your house burns down, you probably care less about who knocked over the candle and more about where you’re going to live. Your kids don’t need (or want) to know that you think your spouse is irresponsible or a liar or whatever the case may be. The instant you do that, they feel they need to pick a side, and someone is going to be resented. Even worse, if you tell your son that his father is a liar, then he might begin to project that into his future. Like father, like son, right? You trap your kids in a confusing blame game where nobody wins. When you tell them, do it together. Explain the situation without accusations. They have to know that you’re still their parents, that they don’t have to choose a bad guy, and that you will both love them, regardless. That is what they care about. — Dr. Wes Crenshaw is a board-certified family psychologist and director of the Family Therapy Institute Midwest. Ben Markley is a senior at Free State High School.

February I sat a Zen retreat up on Whidbey Island near Seattle. The car rental guy asked me why I was in Seattle and when I said “for a Zen retreat” he said, “relaxing, huh?” Well, no. Zen retreats are physically rigorous. You don’t move for long periods of time. There is little sleep. Meals are ritualized and highly formal. You don’t talk, and nobody talks to you. Things as basic as going to the bathroom are restricted to specific (and, luckily, reasonably frequent) times. I think it is exactly because of this that we begin to break through the delusion that we are separate beings. Someone sniffles and maybe we find that disturbing. But we can’t ask them to stop. We can’t leave the room. We just have to put up with it. And then we begin to realize that we sniffle, too. That we disturb people. We begin to see how anyone’s smallest action affects everyone else. It becomes harder to imagine that we can control our world or shut the rest of the world out. Which brings me to the ethics of politics. It’s no secret that I lean fairly far to the left. But left and right should not be about ethics. Values, unavoidably; technique, sure. We can disagree about the best way to deliver health care; we can disagree on exactly which health care should be delivered. But I hope we would all agree that a gunshot victim shouldn’t be turned away from the emergency room because she can’t afford it. I hope this, but these days I doubt it. Too many people are concerned primarily with keeping what they’ve got and keeping what they’ve got away from other people. That just plain doesn’t work. I remember when my son was a toddler and went over to another kid’s house on a play date. Every time my son would reach for a toy the other kid would grab it and sit on it. Soon the kid was sitting on a really

LIFE JUDITH ROITMAN

big pile of toys. He had his toys, all right, but he couldn’t play with them. Too many of us are like that kid sitting on his toys. Consider the people in Arizona, many of them church-going folks, who decided that it should be against the law to give water to someone in the desert. We can reasonably argue over the effects of undocumented immigrants and how to best protect our borders, but to refuse water to someone dying of thirst is unfathomable to me. Similarly, we can reasonably argue over the best way to help the poor. But the poor are not another species. With rare exceptions (think: Bill Gates) we are all only an illness, a downsizing, a catastrophe away from poverty. And that’s where an ethical politics begins: with the recognition that we are in this boat together, that no one is immune from misfortune. We’re not making laws about them. We’re making laws about us. — Judy Roitman can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

“Monochrome bikinis are the most versatile of all swimsuit styles. Pick out single-color swimming suits in classic cuts.” CAITLIN DONNELLY

Check out new, classic swimwear styles

lthough I’m no longer a student, the words spring break still sound like bliss — I almost feel anxious for an entire week of freedom myself! If you have a spring break, a beach vacation or weekend getaway approaching, you will want to be prepared with the perfect beach gear and swimwear. If not, don’t worry. Summer is just around the corner, and Clinton Lake is just a quick drive across town! TROPICAL PRINT: For the perfect beach bikini, pick out a swimming suit that has a carefree pattern. Sunset motifs and fruity prints — watermelons, strawberries, and bananas — are fun, lighthearted and in style. Best of all, you can pick your favorite swimwear cut. If you’re wearing such a tropical-inspired pattern, you can’t go wrong. ONE-PIECE SWIMSUIT: Pick out a retro-inspired one-piece for a sexy, flattering fit. Look for a suit

with ruching down the center — the repetitive pleats create a slimming effect. Also, try a one-piece swimsuit with halter straps; this reveals the collar bones and shoulders and exposes just the right amount of skin. HIGH-WAISTED CUT: For another retro-inspired swimwear trend, check out bikinis that feature high-waisted bottoms. This cut is also figure-friendly, raising the waistline to define you at your narrowest point. To amp up the retro effect, pick a suit with a built-in skirt, or choose a suit with a bandeau-style top to achieve a classic, Brigitte Bardot-inspired look. MONOCHROME COLOR: Monochrome bikinis are the most versatile of all swimsuit styles. Pick out single-color swimming suits in classic cuts. Your suit will look elegant, not overworked or overdesigned. Plus, if you get bored with the

be a little eccentric

have a business plan I’d like to run past you. Let me know if you would like to pony up the capital. We need a bar in Lawrence for people who are old enough to remember “The Love Boat” but young enough to know how to YouTube it. This bar will not charge a cover. If it does, it will use the money raised at the door to pay for things like clean bathrooms and large-print drink menus, though you will be able to opt out of paying the cover by promising to offer up your seat to anyone older than you who looks like she would like to sit down. But that won’t happen too often in my bar, because my bar will have ample seating. And not some low-to-the-ground, foamstuffed vinyl piece that sticks to the backs of your thighs when they sweat. My bar will have firm, comfortable seating, and the barstools will all have backs. They will also rotate only 120 degrees each way and be firmly bolted into the floor to reduce the risk of injury. The floor, by the way, will never be sticky, it will be clean and grit-free. The kind of place a girl could leave her purse. But no girl will ever leave her purse on the floor, for instead of uptight bouncers at the door who greet each female patron like a nuisance and a bother in the otherwise important world of counting heads and confiscating fake IDs, my bar will have men stationed around the floor offering to hold purses and coats. They will also pull women aside to let them know when their lipstick needs touching up, when their mascara has flaked and when they have spinach dip in their teeth. Because my bar won’t just serve drinks,

it will serve people. Real people, with real needs. Like good lighting. I have reached an age where the line between lighting that diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles and that which allows a gal my age to read is a fine one. But my bar will walk that line with unwavering balance. Speaking of balance, platform stilettos are prohibited. So are rump-hugging minidresses and hair glitter. My bouncers will be prepared to wrap a blanket around anyone dressed like Snooki and drag her to the nearest Chico’s for an intervention. And, perhaps most important, the music won’t be too loud, because we know if you really wanted to stand around a crowded bar without a dance floor and not be able to hear the person next to you, you would come wearing an iPod. So no loud music. And nothing recorded after Kurt Cobain. Elvis through Nirvana, that’s it. Live (acoustic) music every Friday, trivia every Sunday, no strobe lights or lasers ever, and no disco balls before 9 or after 11. Finally, my husband has already come up with a name for this bar. So until another investor comes along, “High Maintenance” will remain under its current management.

Put the pep back in your sinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pop-up drain

the pop-up drain in your bathroom sink has stopped working, a simple fix may get you popping again in no

time. Step 1: The pop-up mechanism on a bathroom sink is composed of three parts, the stopper, the ball rod and the pull rod assembly. The pull rod is attached to the knob you lift and lower to move the stopper up and down. The ball rod is under the sink. It goes into the drain line and through the bottom of the sink stopper. Reach behind the drain line, under the sink, and locate the retaining nut that holds the ball rod in place. Unscrew the retaining nut from the drain line. Step 2: The ball rod is secured to the flat metal portion of the pull rod assembly with either a spring clip or two movable washers. Pinch the spring clip or remove the outer washer to free the ball rod from the pull rod assembly. Step 3: Once the ball rod is free, remove the retaining nut and any washer between it and the ball. Place the nut and washer in a safe place as you will be reusing them later. Step 4: Use the old ball rod to determine

the size of the new ball rod. Universal replacement ball rod kits usually contain multiple-sized balls. Select the one that is the most similar to your old one. Assemble the new ball rod by placing the retaining nut and old washer above the ball and securing half of the spring clip or one movable washer on the other end of the new rod. Step 5: Slide the rod end of the new ball rod through the flat portion of the pull rod assembly. Step 6: Slide the ball portion of the rod into the drain line and hand-tighten the retaining nut into place. Step 7: Lift the pull rod assembly up from the top of the sink to make sure the ball rod assembly is positioned properly. Step 8: Make any necessary adjustments. Secure the other side of the spring clip, or the second movable washer, onto the far end of the ball rod to finish the installation process. Check to make sure the retaining nut is securely tightened to the drain line. Check the functioning of the sink stopper and pop up and down at will. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda Cottin can be reached at go@ljworld.com.
