2 ex-officials set to plead in KU tickets case WICHITA (AP) — Two former Kansas University athletics officials are due in federal court in Wichita next week with apparent plea deals for their roles in an alleged conspiracy to

steal more than $2 million in sports tickets.

Former assistant athletic director Rodney Jones has a change-of-plea hearing Jan. 14. A similar hearing for systems analyst Kassie Liebsch

has been moved up to Jan. 13.

That would leave three defendants facing trial next month. They are former associate athletic director Charlette

Blubaugh; her husband, Thomas, a consultant for the ticket office; and former associate athletic director Ben Kirtland.

Two others who pleaded guilty to not reporting the

scheme face March sentencings. They are former assistant athletic director Brandon Simmons and former assistant director of ticket operations Jason Jeffries.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY JUNIOR BLAINE MUHL is pictured with her jumping horse, Asher, Dec. 16 at Hunters Ridge Equestrian Center in Louisburg. Muhl recently placed 12th in a World Championship and has been riding since she was 3 years old.

KU student has devoted many years to becoming an accomplished equestrian

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

Blaine Muhl knows what it means to get back on the horse.

She’s been doing it almost all her life.

The Kansas University junior’s equestrian passion set in at an early age and escalated quickly, leading Muhl, of Leawood, to first ride at age 3 and to participate in her first show at 5.

“This was her first love,” Muhl’s mother, Holly, said. “I don’t know if she was born with it or what. She’s just always loved it.”

She loved it even when it didn’t love her

back. Muhl’s mother recalled an incident when a police horse bit Blaine on the hand.

That didn’t change anything.

Her love of riding and thirst for adventure — she refers to herself as an adrenaline junkie — led her to start jumping horses early, too. The feeling of being in sync with such a large animal is nearly indescribable, Muhl said, ‘floating’ being the only word close to how she felt when airborne those few seconds.

When she was young, Muhl suffered an accident during a show when her horse stopped short of a jump. She was thrown from the animal head-first into the obstacle, which then collapsed on her. Even

though Muhl emerged from the debris unharmed, it kept her mother from watching for a while.

“It’s very difficult for me,” Holly said.

“Ever since then I have a terrible time watching it.”

But for Muhl, falling off the horse was just part of the deal.

So was the practice and training. Working with Paula Pray, her trainer, Muhl attended as many as 20 shows all over the country each year. The travel and her education sometimes affected how much time she could devote to training.

Brownback seeks to remove ‘marriage penalty’ Kansas could become testing ground for rules regarding parents on welfare

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — In May 2008, U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., and David Blankenhorn wrote an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal calling for an end to what they described as the “marriage penalty” for people receiving welfare.

Brownback and Blankenhorn, founder and president of the Institute for American Values, argued that poor people receiving public assistance were encouraged to stay unmarried

because their combined incomes would make them ineligible for those benefits.

The research for the piece was done by the Institute for American Values and was part of a series titled “The Future of the Black Family.”

Brownback and Blankenhorn proposed allowing newly married couples to be allowed to receive all their benefits for the first three years of marriage.

“This adjustment should give newly married couples a sufficient grace period to realize the economic benefits of marriage

what he called disincentives to marriage.

“Studies show a healthy, loving family unit benefits not only the parents, but, more importantly, the children,” he said.

“We will work to remove disincentives to marriage so more couples can marry without the fear of losing crucial state support during difficult financial times.”

Brownback spoke about the issue as he introduced the leaders of his health services team that will try to enact this effort.

If Brownback has his way, Kansas will be the place to test this idea.

Buffalo Bob’s owner files for city commission race

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A longtime downtown restaurant owner and former Lawrence mayor has added his name to the mix of candidates seeking a seat on the City Commission.

Bob Schumm on Tuesday launched his campaign for one of three seats on the commission by touting an economic development plan that puts a focus on small, homegrown businesses and creation of a new downtown retail incubator.

“It seems very, very difficult these days to attract a firm from one city to another,” Schumm said. “Those opportunities are so few and far between. It seems like we should make more efforts to create homegrown businesses. Once a company starts in Lawrence, often times they don’t leave.”

The idea of a downtown incubator that would help small retail businesses get started is one way the city could get more involved, Schumm said.

He said the city might be able to provide incubator tenants with a “very small” subsidy to help with rent and property Schumm taxes while their businesses get established.

Schumm has owned and operated restaurants in downtown Lawrence for the last 40 years.

He currently owns Buffalo Bob’s Smokehouse and The Dynamite Saloon, 719 and 721 Mass.

Schumm, 64, also is a veteran of Lawrence City Hall, winning three City Commission elections. He served from April 1979 to April 1981 and then again from April 1987 to April 1993. He served as mayor from April 1989 to April 1991.

On other issues, Schumm said: ● He supports efforts to redevelop the former Farmland Industries fertilizer

Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, and Dr. Robert Moser, tabbed as secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

SRS provides f inancial support to poor Kansans with cash assistance, child care help and food aid.

In the last fiscal year, an average of 277,000 Kansans received food stamps each month, 37,000 received temporary assistance during an average month, and 20,300 received child care assistance.

SRS has been hit hard by state budget cuts over the past couple of years as tax

revenues tanked during the recession. The agency hasn’t worked on the issue proposed by Brownback, according to SRS spokesman Steve Mock.

“I don’t know if we have identified it as a policy issue, but I’m sure we will be doing some work on it if it’s a priority for the new administration,” he said.

When asked to quantify the problem, Brownback said he didn’t know how many people were forgoing marriage to maintain welfare benefits.

And, he said, he didn’t know how much it would cost taxpayers to continue those benefits.

really busy lifestyle,” Pray said. “So consistency has always been really difficult.”

Up through high school, Muhl focused much of her time and energy on horse riding, skipping out on common school events such as most dances and sporting events.

Looking back, Muhl said she doesn’t regret her decisions at all.

“I almost wish I had done it more,” she said.

Doing it more would have meant more cross-country travel to ride in shows. It would have meant more time training and more time away from school, something Muhl knew well after taking a few years off to focus on her craft.

But the constant struggle to balance the two sides of her life, riding and education, eventually caught up with Muhl. She had been at the top of her game, claiming the Reserve World Championship in one of the youth classes. But after all the success, she started a downward slide she referred to as her “slump.”

“I was doing basic things wrong,” Muhl said. “I couldn’t make it around a course. I was screwing up on the fundamentals. When it’s something you’ve been doing for that long and you can’t put the basics together, you won-

Muhl was in the second semester of her freshman year at KU when she decided she needed a break from competitive riding. The choice, which came as no surprise to her family and trainer, took Muhl away from shows for a year.

“I wasn’t mature enough for all of it,” she said. “I considered not riding. At times I thought I should just quit.”

But Muhl didn’t quit.

Instead, the year away gave her some much-needed perspective.

She returned to competitive riding and focused on school equally. She had gained the determination to do what she loved.

“This is definitely what I want to do for the rest of my life,” Muhl said. “I’m not going to take a break again.”

In November, Muhl competed in the World Championship Show through the American Quarter Horse Association.

In her first year at the more competitive amateur level, Muhl made the finals in the fence-jumping portion of the show. She laughed when recalling that her father was sleeping when the results

“She’s really good at stepping up at the big shows,” Pray said. “She knows when to turn it on.”

But for Muhl, the success meant something else.

Her comeback was complete.

Muhl will get to enjoy a break from competing during the two-month off season, which ends in late February. In the meantime, she’ll focus on schoolwork for her two majors, which are sports management and psychology, and her minor, business.

After that it’s back to the grind, which she said has gradually gotten easier to handle.

With retiring one horse to a life of leisure and having a young one needing to be trained, Muhl will continue her hectic lifestyle for years to come.

“You can do it as long as your body wants to let you do it,” she said. “And that’s what I plan on doing.”

Captain who made lewd videos fired The Navy brusquely fired the captain of the USS Enterprise on Tuesday, more than three years after he made lewd videos to boost morale for his crew, timing that put the military under pressure to explain why it acted only after the videos became public.

Senior military officials said they were trying to determine who among Navy leaders knew about the videos when they were shown repeatedly in 2006 and 2007 to thousands of crew members aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

An investigation by U.S. Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Va., also is seeking to determine whether Capt. Owen Honors was reprimanded at the time.

The episode has raised serious questions about whether military leaders can behave badly so long as the public doesn’t find out.

Obama signs food safety bill Foreshadowing the coming power struggles between the White House and a more Republican Congress, President Barack Obama on Tuesday signed a $1.4 billion overhaul of the nation’s food safety system as some lawmakers complained that it’s too expensive and threatened its funding.

The first major overhaul of the food safety system since the 1930s, the law emphasizes prevention to help stop deadly outbreaks of foodborne illness before they occur, instead of reacting after consumers become ill.

It calls for increasing government inspections at food processing facilities and, for the first time, gives the Food and Drug Administration the power to order the recall of unsafe foods.

Man pleads guilty in bike path attack

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A 30-year-old man has pleaded guilty to attacking and injuring a woman on a June afternoon as he snatched her from a southwest Lawrence bike path.

Ahead of his trial scheduled for Monday, William E. Nichols entered pleas Tuesday to counts of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated sexual battery and aggravated battery for the June 16 attack on the path between the Youth Sports Complex and Clinton Lake.

“The most shocking thing about this crime is the fact it did occur in broad daylight in a public place,” Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson said.

After the guilty pleas, District Judge Peggy Kittel convicted Nichols of the three counts.

They were the same charges he Nichols would face at trial, except prosecutors agreed to change an attempted rape count to aggravated sexual battery.

Branson said the victim in the case, who now lives out of the country, was pleased with the conviction and the fact she won’t have to testify at a trial. He also said Nichols still faces a severe sentence on the aggravated kidnapping conviction.

Prosecutors will argue for a sentence of nearly 14 years in

prison on the kidnapping count and ask that the other two lesser sentences to run concurrent to that, Branson said.

The victim, who was 23 at the time, testified at a June preliminary hearing in the case and accused Nichols of grabbing her off her bike. She alleged he then fondled her and held a knife to her throat.

Prosecutors allege Nichols also stabbed her; she is expected to recover from her injuries, Branson said.

Two recent Lawrence High School graduates, Aidan Waugh and Nathaniel Mehl, rescued the woman and chased her attacker away. Nichols was later arrested in the area by officers.

Edition cuts Twain’s ’offensive’ words Mark Twain wrote that “the difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter.” A new edition of “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and “Tom Sawyer” will try to find out if that holds true by replacing the N-word with “slave” in an effort not to offend readers.

Twain scholar Alan Gribben, who is working with NewSouth Books in Alabama to publish a combined volume of the books, said the N-word appears 219 times in “Huck Finn” and four times in “Tom Sawyer.”

He said the word puts the books in danger of joining the list of literary classics that Twain once humorously defined as those “which people praise and don’t read.”

The book isn’t scheduled to be published until February, at a mere 7,500 copies, but Gribben has already received a flood of hateful e-mail accusing him of desecrating the novels. He said the e-mails prove the word makes people uncomfortable.

Suicide rate in Douglas County up

Artful assemblage

The governor of Pakistan’s most dominant province was shot and killed Tuesday by a bodyguard who authorities said was angry about his opposition to blasphemy laws carrying the death sentence for insulting the Muslim faith.

Punjab Gov. Salman Taseer, regarded as a moderate voice in a country increasingly beset by zealotry, was a close ally of U.S.-backed President Asif Ali Zardari. He is the highest-profile Pakistani political figure to be assassinated since former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto three years ago, and his death underscores the growing danger in this country to those who dare challenge the demands of Islamist extremists.

Taseer was riddled by gunshots while walking to his car after an afternoon meal at Kohsar Market, a shopping center in Islamabad popular with Westerners and wealthy Pakistanis. He was shot in the back, said Shaukat Kayani, a doctor at Poly Clinic Hospital.

gave Waugh and Mehl commendation awards for their actions.

“Fortunately, whatever Mr. Nichols’ final intentions were, he was thwarted by two young men that came to the victim’s rescue,” Branson said.

On Feb. 28, Kittel is scheduled to sentence Nichols, who told police he moved to Lawrence shortly before he was arrested.

The victim, who is now 24, intends to return and speak in court then.

“We do expect her to come back and address the court,” Branson said, “and most importantly put her feelings on the record.”

A Lawrence businessman’s proposal for a strip club just outside Meriden city limits has sparked a furor among Jefferson County residents who don’t want to see adult entertainment next to their schools.

More than 100 of those residents, many in opposition of the idea, gathered at Oskaloosa Middle School on Tuesday night to voice their opinions before the Jefferson County Planning and Zoning Commission.

“We’re just kind of devastated,” area resident Pearl Raugewitz said. “We’re a fairly small community. We have schools there and churches, and they

want to bring in trash.”

The applicant is Zach Snyder, owner of the Douglas County gentlemen’s club Paradise Saloon, which sits just north of Lawrence. Snyder is asking for a conditional use permit for a sexually oriented business that serves alcohol and is a private club. The strip club would go into an existing building already along Kansas Highway 4 just east of the Meriden city limits.

The strip club would be about 900 feet away from Jefferson West High School and within 800 feet of Jefferson West Middle School. If approved, the club would share a property line with the Jefferson West Unif ied School District. Area resident and parent Alan Hein said he didn’t believe the club was

something kids needed to see.

“I’m not opposed to them having the right to do this,” Hein said. “It’s just the location.”

Along with the two schools, Jefferson County planner Duane Buscher said the strip club would be close to a day care and homes.

Tuesday’s meeting was a continuation of a public meeting last month. In that time, Jefferson County Citizens Group has collected more that 660 signatures in opposition of the strip club.

Daniel and Pat Shimmin attended the meeting but admitted to being in the minority. Pat said she estimated 80 percent of the attendees were opposed to the proposal. The Ozawkie couple said they thought the issue

was being blown out of proportion.

“What kids see outside that building is 1/16th what they can go home and watch on television or online,” Daniel said. “They’re making a mountain out of a molehill, and the poor mole’s been dead for 20 years.”

Paul Johnson, a member of the planning commission, said another continuation is scheduled for Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. and likely would be at the middle school.

Johnson said he thought a recommendation would be reached at that meeting and presented to Jefferson County Commission for a final vote.

KU student’s death still being investigated

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little offered condolences Tuesday to the family of a 21-year-old student who died last month.

Elijah Taylor, a junior from Solomon and a human biology major, died Dec. 22 at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita one day after police said he ran in front of a vehicle on Interstate 135.

“My heart goes out to the family and friends of Elijah Taylor. On behalf of the entire KU community, I offer the deepest condolences,” GrayLittle said in a statement.

Capt. Mike Sweeney, a Salina police spokesman, said Tuesday that investigators

were still awaiting toxicology results as part of an autopsy performed by the coroner in Sedgwick County.

Sweeney said off icers determined Taylor was injured when he ran toward and struck a southbound vehicle just after midnight Dec. 21. Sweeney said Taylor had a small amount of a substance in his possession called “bath salts,” which can be used as a recreational drug if ingested.

“We’re just waiting on results of the toxicology tests to see if there are any foreign substances that may have contributed to his behavior,” Sweeney said.

The day Taylor died, Salina police sent out a public warning about certain potpourri

and bath salt substances that contain methylenedioxypyrovalerone, or MDPV, and said the compound was “very similar to methamphetamine and it is ingested in the same manner as methamphetamine or cocaine.”

“Depending on the mixture, the strength of these clandestine drugs range from a weak to an extremely high potency. The effects the mixtures have on the person ingesting the compounds vary drastically,” according to the warning statement.

Sweeney said the items can typically be purchased at stores or shops that sell incense.

A coroner’s spokeswoman in Wichita on Tuesday morning said Taylor’s autopsy was

But numbers don’t often tell the whole story, Epstein said. Behind the numbers lie many other people whose lives are deeply affected, including mothers, children and friends.

National statistics, however, show that suicide can affect everyone, Epstein said.

“You can’t Epstein just know that kind of demographic information about someone and say that person is safe,” she said.

Epstein provided some tips for people who are concerned about someone who may be contemplating suicide.

One suggestion: Don’t be afraid to ask “Are you thinking about suicide?” if someone appears to be in a bad spot. And show concern by actively listening, she said.

Everyone’s heard of suicide, Epstein said, so it’s very unlikely that a concerned person would plant the idea in someone’s head.

“We have the chance of

If the person says yes, then don’t ignore it and seek help, Epstein said.

Co-workers and friends can watch for other indicators. Look for signs of loss, she said. In older people, that can mean the death of family members or friends, and in younger people, it can mean not making the sports team, or suffering the loss of a relationship.

Other potential signs someone may be in a deep depression or contemplating suicide include:

ing for days on end. ● Suddenly acting more aggressive than usual. ● Sleeping all the time. ● Being unable or unwilling to eat. ● Long-lasting painful emotions. ● Thoughts about not being capable of handling one’s own emotions or feelings.

Those signs may not always lead to suicide but are good indications that other issues may be present, including depression or anxiety, Epstein said.

And it’s a good idea to limit access to lethal means like f irearms, razors or large amounts of medication, too, she said.

Though it’s a myth that more suicides occur during the holidays — summer typically sees more suicides, she said — it’s an issue that the city and the community face all the time.

“Unfortunately, we deal with the issue of suicide every single day,” Epstein said.

be appropriate for downtown, the city also should be open to the incubator being located in a commercial district outside of downtown. ● Organize a group of stakeholders — possibly including merchants, Kansas University, the Lied Center, the Convention and Visitors Bureau and others — to pool their money to create a joint advertising campaign to attract shoppers a˙nd visitors from Kansas City and elsewhere. ● Review the building and development code to ensure that is understandable to retailers, especially small retailers that do not have

extensive development experience. ● Promote downtown as a place for living units and offices, which will increase the number of potential shoppers downtown on a daily basis. ● Create a database of statistics regarding consumer buying and spending patterns. The report suggests creating a new position at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce to oversee the database and to work with retailers on using information to improve their businesses.

A previous version of the report had suggested that a new chamber position also be involved in recruiting new

retailers to the area. But task force members took that language out after questions were raised about whether that was an appropriate role for government.

City Commissioner Rob Chestnut, who chaired the task force, said he thought the report would help put Lawrence in a good position once the economy improves.

“This environment we’re in will change over time,” Chestnut said. “As the economy picks up and consumer sales get better, we need to be in a position to capitalize on it.”

CITY COMMISSION BRIEFS City still hopes to save historic home A project to save a dilapidated home at 1313 Haskell Ave. has gotten off to a slowerthan-expected start, but city commissioners agreed Tuesday to give the project more time.

A group led by Brook Creek Residents Michael Almon and James Grauerholz told commissioners at their weekly meeting Tuesday that they only recently were able to take possession of the property because the previous owner had started to back out of an agreed upon sale of the property.

The deal eventually was put back together and finalized in late December. But as part of the deal, the former owner, Greg Seibel, has been given until early February to remove all his possessions from the home.

Work to restore the home — which was built in 1900 by Oliver Hanscom, who was a member of the second group of settlers to arrive in Lawrence — is scheduled to begin in March.

City commissioners have passed an ordinance that would allow the house to be demolished, but commissioners have delayed implementation of the ordinance several times in hopes that the house can be saved.

Change may speed up Kasold construction

The new plan is expected to reduce the project’s construction schedule by three to four weeks. The project now is scheduled to be completed in late November. The new plan will continue to keep one lane of traffic open in each direction during construction.

for the past three years and had worked to add more events in downtown. During her tenure, Downtown Lawrence added an outdoor film festival, a Busker festival, and recently she had spearheaded the organization of the Downtown Lawrence Arts District and its Final Fridays event.

Dan Hughes, an owner of Sunflower Outdoor & Bike Shop, 802 Mass., said there have been some concerns that the organization was becoming too geared toward promoting downtown as an entertainment district rather than a shopping district.

“I kind of feel like there has been a shift downtown to an arts and entertainment district,” said Hughes, who had been on the organization’s board until the beginning of

this month. “I look at other arts and entertainment districts, and you don’t see a lot of specialty retailers.”

Mark Swanson, an owner of Hobbs, 700 Mass., and a current board member of DLI, said he hopes such a conflict isn’t behind the departure.

“As a retailer, I think the Final Fridays and the art functions that are going on are great things,” Swanson said.

“They have provided tremendous atmosphere and energy to downtown. It has been nothing but good for downtown.”

o one likes to think about suicide, much less talk about it, but the director of a local counseling center, says that’s the wrong approach.

Being willing to ask someone whether he or she is contemplating suicide might be a lifesaving act, said Headquarters director Marcia Epstein.

Douglas County recorded an alarming 22 suicides through mid-December of 2010. That is double the number reported in the county in 2008 and 2009.

Discussing that increase, Epstein listed a number of signals that might indicate someone is at risk, including not showering or shaving for days, suddenly acting more aggressive than usual, sleeping all the time and being unwilling or unable to eat. Family, friends and coworkers also can look for signs of loss like the death of a friend or family member, the loss of a relationship or, in a younger person, even the loss of a dream like not making a sports team.

And, Epstein said, if someone seems to be seriously struggling with life and depression, don’t be afraid to ask, “Are you thinking about suicide?”

It’s a question many people would avoid because they were afraid of giving offense or planting an idea. However, Epstein said neither of those concerns should keep a person from asking the question. Rather than encouraging a person to consider suicide, the show of concern may open the door to a conversation and additional help that could turn such thoughts aside.

Suicide is a tragedy not only for the people who have died but also for their family and friends who wish they had been able to do something to change their minds. Raising the question of suicide may be uncomfortable, but it pales by comparison with the loss of a life to suicide.

Foreign policy signals to watch in 2011 I hope that 2011 will provide more cheerful foreign policy stories than 2010 did.

Consider this woeful litany: The ongoing fighting in Afghanistan, the jihadis and floods of Pakistan, a recovering but deeply troubled Iraq, a nuclear-bent Iran that crushed the “Green” opposition.

Add a failed Mideast peace process, an increasingly aggressive China and regressive Russia, and a United States drawn inward by domestic economic woes. The list was depressing enough to drive a foreign-policy columnist into travel writing.

Yet, as the new year starts, there’s room for optimism (even if the facts don’t justify it). Here are some signs to watch for — abroad and at home — that would indicate 2011 might be a better foreign policy year.

Afghanistan This one’s tricky (see, I’m already hedging). As Gen. David Petraeus puts it, “You are not going to see big flips” in the situation as you did in Iraq, where Sunni insurgents turned against al-Qaida en masse. However, if the U.S. troop surge can stabilize large parts of the Afghan south and the east, where the Taliban is strongest, more Afghans may resist the militants.

Signs to watch for: Will U.S. efforts to help stand up Afghan village police and local courts bear fruit? This would enhance local security and address one of the prime issues that drive rural farmers toward the Taliban: the lack of local justice to resolve land disputes.

Two other signs: Will President Hamid Karzai finally create a government that is more inclu-

Yet, as the new year “starts, there’s room for optimism (even if the facts don’t justify it).”

Iraq Watch to see whether Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki gives too little power to Sunnis and too much power to the forces of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada alSadr. A good sign: if al-Maliki inks another security accord with the United States that leaves a small U.S. troop presence — to keep Kurds and Arabs apart, and train the Iraqi army. This limited force, along with expanded U.S. diplomacy, would hedge against undue Iranian influence in Iraq.

Iran Last year a mysterious computer worm, along with accidents to key Iranian nuclear scientists, set back Iran’s nuclear program. The Iranians blame Israel and the United States.

Watch to see if sabotage continues to thwart Tehran’s efforts; that will dampen talk of a possible Israeli or U.S. air strike on Iran’s nuclear plants.

sive — giving Pashtun leaders and local officials their fair share of power? And will Mullah Mohammed Omar’s Taliban — one of several militant groups — set up a political office in a third country, such as Turkey, and clarify whether the group is willing to break with al-Qaida and work within a constitutional Afghan government? That would make China We all know Beijing is a rising clear whether talks with senior Taliban are plausible, in pursuit power, but 2011 will show what kind of power it aspires to. of an Afghan political accord.

figure Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signaled he will continue policies that crush Russian innovation, discourage legitimate investors, and keep the country dependent on oil. President Dimitri Medvedev — who speaks of the “rule of law” — dashed hopes that he might challenge Putin.

The good news: Europeans, who are too dependent on Russian gas, have now received clear warning of Putin’s disdain for business contracts, so watch to see whether they diversify their supply sources.

The Middle East Sorry, I can’t foresee any good news. The Israel-Palestinian peace process may limp along, going nowhere, but it is effectively frozen until some new explosion, which may be too late to revive it. Meantime, in the Arab world, Islamists wait in the wings until aging rulers too fearful to democratize pass from the scene.

The United States Here’s a real sign of good news: The recent, bipartisan Senate approval of the New START arms treaty with Russia indicates that responsible Republicans will back President Obama on foreign policy issues essential to American security. If so, Obama can exert strong foreign policy leadership on many issues. If Republicans revert to the credo of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who says derailing Obama is the Republicans’ top goal, then chances for foreign policy good news dim.

PUBLIC FORUM

Face to face

Hateful voices

A local group is making an effort to renew the dwindling art of real face-to-face conversation.

U

SA Today last week proclaimed 2011 “The Year We Stopped Talking.”

Well, that’s about right. We are staring at computers, iPhones, BlackBerrys and TV screens at an alarming rate.

Ron Helmick of Lawrence is trying to change that, and we applaud his effort.

“The conversations we used to have on the front porch have moved to the deck that’s in the backyard, and now the conversations on the deck have moved to the Internet,” Helmick told a Journal-World reporter for a Jan. 2 story.

Helmick has built a teepee on his property east of Lawrence and invited people over to have a chat about the day’s news. No electronics are involved. Guests just bring an article they have clipped out of a newspaper, a real clipping, not a printout from a website.

The teepee gatherings, which occur in a circle around a fire pit, are called Newspaper Church. Each participant takes a turn describing his or her article, then conversation ensues.

The idea is simple, almost elegant. Maybe we should each make a resolution this year to host a chat, a face-to-face chat, without any gadgets.

A few requests for KU’s new AD Like most folks at Kansas University, I listened to the announcement of the appointment of Sheahon Zenger as the new athletic director. As a faculty member and as a columnist for this newspaper I have followed the history of Kansas Athletics since the late Bob Frederick gave up the AD’s slot with both skepticism and worry. As regular readers will know, I was unhappy with many of the changes instituted by Al Bohl and believed that former football coach Mark Mangino’s antics were inappropriate for a university coach. (I have saved the hundreds of critical letters and emails I received when I questioned Mangino’s behavior just so I will never forget the fanatic support he received … until he started losing games.)

I always thought that Bob Frederick was a decent man and a gentleman and I thought that he set a tone for athletics at KU which was very positive. From what I’ve seen of our newly appointed AD, he appears to be similarly decent and a genuinely nice guy. It gives me hope that the friction between Kansas Athletics and so many faculty and alumni might be lessened.

I’m sure the new AD doesn’t need my advice but I do have requests which I hope he will con-

I always thought that Bob Frederick was a decent man and a gentleman and I thought that he set a tone for athletics at KU which was very positive. From what I’ve seen of our newly appointed AD, he appears to be similarly decent and a genuinely nice guy.” sider. I make these requests as a faculty member who has spent 17 years at KU and as a Douglas County resident for the same amount of time: 1. Please consider returning the Kansas-Missouri game to Lawrence. Every resident of Lawrence — and every business in Lawrence — will be forever in your debt if you do this.

2. Please re-examine the changes made in ticket and seating policy by your predecessor. I can think of nothing that has upset loyal KU fans more during my time at KU than the combination of the new policies and the ticket off ice scandal. You have the chance to start afresh; don’t miss this opportunity.

3. Don’t forget the nonrevenue sports. Football and basketball bring in the money, but the less lucrative sports also are a central experience for every student who gets to participate and have loyal fans as well.

4. Please don’t forget the agreement made by Chancellor GrayLittle with your predecessor in which KUAC promised to provide substantial support (up to $40 million) to the university academic mission. That agreement seems to have been put on the back burner.

Make it happen.

5. Be nice to Bill Self (as if you didn’t know).

Our new AD has the potential to be a very strong force at the university. He’s a Kansan, understands university athletics, and, judging by his record, has great integrity. I wish him well.

— Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the KU School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

To the editor: There are ideologues and misinformed voices on both sides of the South Lawrence Trafficway debate. However, any objective review of the “comments” posted to your Dec. 31 story about our appeal of Judge Vratil’s trafficway ruling will confirm one fact.

The bigots and bullies were overwhelmingly represented in the “build it!” camp.

One anonymous blowhard called for my employers to fire me. Another, user name “DOC1,” wanted my home address and later suggested that baseball bats should be used on those of us who continue to oppose paving the wetlands! Others couldn’t wait to see protesters mashed under bulldozers.

Far too many posted blatantly racist comments that were not removed. Several posts insinuated that the only spiritual connections Native Americans have in the wetlands come after consuming alcohol there. Such narrowmindedness has no place in our local newspaper, whether online or in print. I read repeatedly, to the point of disgust, that every aspect of Native American concerns about the SLT had been fabricated because they and their supporters “hate progress.” The SLT should be renamed the Glenn Beck Beltway. It certainly epitomizes Beck’s worldview.

Those nitwits online don’t reflect the majority here.

Unfortunately, ignorance of Haskell’s history and its relationship to these wetlands is a product of how the JournalWorld consistently frames the trafficway story to favor proponents. The “reporting” of how this SLT plan would really impact these wetlands has been particularly onesided. Lawrence is not Fox News territory.

Q:

WEATHER TRIVIA™ What does socked in mean?

More bird species found at preserve GREAT BEND — An annual bird count found that more species than usual stopped at the Cheyenne Bottoms wildlife preserve in central Kansas this winter.

The National Audubon Society bird count, which was conducted in December, found 95 species of birds at the wildlife area.

Robert Penner, a manager at the wetlands for The Nature Conservancy, says the mild winter likely brought more birds to the area.

Among the unusual species seen were the long tailed duck, which is more common to the arctic and northern U.S., the orange crowned warbler and the black crowned night heron.

Penner told The Great Bend Tribune that the information from the count will go into a database that biologists use to look at trends and study longterm health of bird populations.

“Forty percent of all bird species are in decline in the U.S.,” said Penner. For example, sparrows are declining in population due to continued loss of habitat, he said.

There is some good news — there is a positive trend for red tailed hawks. Five were counted in 1967, and 67 were counted in 2010 at the Bottoms.

FREE STATE’S ERIC WATSON (23) DRIVES TOWARD THE PAINT in the first half. Watson scored 22 points and the Firebirds held off Blue Valley West, 59-47, on Tuesday in Overland Park.

Free State boys edge BV West OVERLAND PARK — Eric Watson scored 22 points and Free State High rallied to defeat Blue Valley West, 59-47, in boys basketball action on Tuesday night.

The Firebirds (4-2) trailed, 1612, after the first quarter, but used a 20-6 advantage in the second period to set the tone.

“We didn’t play a very good first quarter, but I thought we were really sharp in the second quarter with our attention to detail and our defense,” Free State coach Chuck Long said.

“That (second quarter) was as good as we’ve played all year.”

Watson keyed the charge for FSHS, attacking the rim and draining all four of his threepoint attempts.

“Eric was outstanding,” Law said. “He shot great from three.

He played a nice game on the offensive end.”

Blue Valley West dropped to 23.

FREE STATE SOPHOMORE CHELSEA CASADY (32) TUGS FOR A REBOUND against Platte County’s Kelsey Knox. The Firebirds fell, 53-46, on Tuesday at Free State.

FSHS falls to Platte County (Mo.) for 4th straight year

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

Free State High’s girls basketball team has played Platte County (Mo.) for four straight years now, so it’s fair to call it a rivalry.

On Tuesday, the Firebirds took their fourth straight loss against the Pirates, falling 53-46 at home. It was certainly a game typical of a rivalry — high-paced and physical throughout.

Free State coach Bryan Duncan was happy with his team’s effort against a Platte County team that started five seniors with three years of varsity experience. He said his team lost its cool in the environment.

“We just learned that we just have to keep our emotions a little better in check throughout the course of the game,” Duncan said. “And that’s hard to do in a game like that.”

“

We just learned that we just have to keep our emotions a little better in check throughout the course of the game. And that’s hard to do in a game like that.”

The Firebirds fought back to tie the game, 27-27 at halftime, but turned the ball over eight times in the first four minutes of the second half and fell behind by seven.

“They kind of took it to us in the first two or three minutes of both halves,” Duncan said. “That really

set the tone. It’s hard playing from behind.”

Free State’s starters — juniors Jackie Garcia and Lynn Robinson and sophomores Abbey Casady, Chelsea Casady and Kennedy Kirkpatrick — have much less experience than Platte County’s starters.

Duncan refused to use that excuse, however.

“I know people will say we’re young. But we feel like that’s a game that we can win and should have won, but didn’t,” Duncan said.

Platte County senior Taylor Johnson, who will play at the next level at Creighton, was a force, scoring 24 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Senior Kelsey Knox was her partner-in-crime, adding 16 points and eight rebounds.

Three months away from the start of spring football practices, the Kansas University quarterback position became a little more crowded Tuesday, as the Jayhawks received a signed financial-aid agreement from Highlands Ranch, Colo., QB Brock Berglund.

Berglund, a three-star prospect from Valor Christian High, is ranked as the 13th-best dual-threat quarterback in the country.

He’ll sign a national letter of intent in Berglund February and already is one of the prize gems of KU coach Turner Gill’s second recruiting class.

Though the depth of Berglund’s impact on KU remains to be seen, the 6-foot-4, 215-pound quarterback has received high praise from his new coach.

“Brock is the ideal studentathlete we want in our program,” Gill said Tuesday. “He has proven that he is a winner. He not only has great football skills, but he possesses great vision and tremendous leadership abilities.”

Berglund plans to arrive in Lawrence on Jan. 19 and will begin classes Jan. 21. Doing so will allow him to participate in spring drills, where he’ll compete with a handful of KU quarterbacks — including 2010 starters Jordan Webb and Quinn Mecham — for the right to lead the Jayhawks on the field this fall.

Though Berglund will be the most inexperienced member of KU’s crop of QBs, he has a couple of advantages that most incoming freshmen would not.

For starters, his physical measurements place him at the top of the list, as he’s the tallest and most solid QB in the bunch.

Beyond that, his high school ran a version of KU’s offense, something Valor Christian took from KU offensive coordinator Chuck Long’s days as an assistant at Oklahoma.

“Talking to coach Long, we can already have a conversation about the Kansas offense,” Berglund said. “It is like learning a whole new language, but it’s just putting a name with a name instead of learning a whole new scheme.”

Berglund expanded by saying an offensive set known as Bulldog by his high school team may be called Pit Bull at KU. “Exactly,” Berglund said.

“Bulldog is Pit Bull. That’s it. It’s studying vocabulary for your English test. It’s not that much different.”

Berglund said he would love to be KU’s starting QB next season but emphasized that he’ll compete as hard as he can and trust that things will work out the way they’re supposed to.

“I believe in my abilities and what God has blessed me with,” Please see BERGLUND, page 5B

SUMMARY

OSU holds off Arkansas NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Ohio State might want to send a thank-you note to the NCAA for helping to end its bowl misery against the SEC. Terrelle Pryor threw two touchdown passes, helping the No. 6 Buckeyes build a big lead, and Solomon Thomas made an interception with 58 seconds remaining that sealed a 31-26 victory over eighth-ranked Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl on Tuesday night.

Pryor and Thomas were among five Ohio State players found to have violated NCAA rules by selling memorabilia and getting discounted tattoos just before the Buckeyes (12-1) headed for the Big Easy. They were all suspended for the first five games of next season — but permitted to play in the Sugar Bowl.

Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel said all five pledged to return to school

• Complete coverage from the KU-UMKC men’s hoops game

next season to serve the punishment.

In the end, Ohio State needed them all to beat a Southeastern Conference team in a bowl for the first time. The Buckeyes had lost their previous nine postseason meetings against the SEC. The group also included Dan Herron and DeVier Posey, who each scored a touchdown. But Thomas, the only backup among them, made the biggest play of all.

Arkansas (10-3) had a chance to complete an improbable comeback when Colton Miles-Nash leaped over two linemen to block a punt, putting the Razorbacks at the Ohio State 18 with 1:09 remaining.

But Thomas surprised Ryan Mallett by dropping into coverage from his defensive end position.

Mallett never saw him and Thomas held on to the pick to seal the win.

Pryor has vowed to return for his senior season, even though he won’t be able to play until next October. He left the Ohio State faithful with a good memory, completing 14 of 25 passes, including a 15-yard TD to Dane Sanzenbacher and a 43-yarder to Posey.

Pryor also ran for a team-leading 115 yards rushing.

Mallett was 24-of-47 for 277 yards, including a pair of touchdowns.

Ohio State raced to a 28-7 lead in the first half. Sanzenbacher scored the first of his two TDs by recovering a fumble by Pryor at the end of a 34-yard run. Two Arkansas players knocked each other off the loose ball, and the Ohio State senior fell on it.

Herron scored on a 9-yard run, then Pryor hooked up with Sanzenbacher and Posey on touchdown throws that had it looking like a Buckeyes rout.

KU’s Withey relishes starting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

down. I did my best to try. It wasn’t just me. I thought everybody played well, especially on the defensive end.”

Self was impressed with the performance from Withey, who still is trying to impact the rotation at KU following his late September foot surgery.

“I thought Jeff played well and gave us good minutes, no question,” Self said. “Hopefully he’ll be able to do that going forward. He looked more aggressive to me. He looked more confident.”

Self has said Withey has lost up to 20 pounds since returning from his injury.

“I got sick a little while ago

and lost some weight,” Withey said, noting he weighed “about 220” after being close to 240.

“I’ve been struggling trying to maintain my weight now, because during the season it’s really hard to put weight back on. I’ve gained a couple pounds back. It’s not realistic for me to get back to 230, 235 right now.”

Self said tonight’s lineup would be another game-day decision. Withey realizes starting positions and spots in the rotation can change daily.

“If you are having a bad week in practice, your position is up for grabs because everybody is so good here,” Withey said. “It’s definitely

tough, but very rewarding to play here at KU.” Self said Tuesday that he will continue to use undersized 6-6 Travis Releford some in the post.

“Teams that play small, we’ll play Travis. Teams that play big, we’ll play Jeff. A lot of things moving forward in conference play will be based on matchups as much as anything else,” Self said. “All kids try hard and practice hard.

You’d like to play them all, but you can’t. A lot is matchups.

“He plays bigger than what he is. His post defense is probably the best we have. I am a fan of Travis,” Self added.

“He’s an energy guy. Whatever role we put him in, he’s kind of like a utility baseball play-

er. Whatever we need done, he’ll get out there and do it.”

Releford likes playing inside and out.

“At practice I work with the bigs a little bit, then I work out with the guards. It’s fun and gives me a little playing time, too,” Releford said, adding, “coach is trying things out early in the season just in case later in the season I have to play down low.”

Self, of course, will continue to play those individuals who practice the best.

“The eighth, ninth, 10th guy has played different amount of minutes, game to game. It’s not set in stone,” Self said of the rotation. “It probably won’t be set in stone all year long.”

he said. “If I’m the first-string guy then I’m the first-string guy. If I’m a back-up, I’m a back-up. Wherever I land is where I land. But I’m gonna put everything out there, I’m gonna give it all I have.”

As for when next season’s starting quarterback might be revealed, Gill said in November that he would

“Out of all the guards, I’m the one who wants to learn all the post moves and everything, all the positions for the post,” the 6-4 Johnson said with a smile. “I feel I’d get beat up down there, but it’d be real fun. Just to do something different. I’ve never been in the post my entire life. It just Protecting the people sounds fun.” ●

Soft cheeses perfect for winter comfort foods CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8B

Chévre: Though the blanket French name for goat cheese is “chévre” (which actually means goat), it is young goat cheese that is soft and creamy with a mild taste. It is sold in everything from logs to crumbled chunks. Often, this cheese can be presented covered in herbs or pepper.

Brie: Soft enough to spread on crackers, this French cheese is often what diners think of when they’re told they’ll be having soft cheese. The cow’s milk cheese is encased in an edible rind and is similar to the camembert. Brie isn’t a protected cheese, meaning it doesn’t have to be made in the location for which it’s named. This means the flavor and quality can vary heavily from the region in which it was spawned, the modern-day Seine-et-Marne.

Camembert: A buttery cheese from France, with a soft, edible rind like brie.

Also like Brie, it’s a popular counterpart to warm bread and the name’s not protected, meaning there’s a wide spectrum of quality.

More rare soft cheeses Brillat-Savarin: A cow’s

SOFT CHEESES What they are: A group of cheeses ranging from semi-liquid to semi-firm in texture.

These cheeses usually are lower in fat content than hard cheeses because they contain more moisture (as a cheese ages, it loses moisture, and therefore becomes more dense and fatty).

They are normally cheeses not used in cooking, though there are some exceptions. Many are spreadable in texture and good with crackers or bread, while some are more firm and therefore are easier to crumble on top of foods such as salads and pastas. Several soft cheeses available in the United States originated in France, though some were created in Italy, Greece, Germany and other European countries. milk cheese similar to brie, this triple-cream cheese has a thin skin of natural rind and is a decadent spread on bread with a fruit jam. This cheese was named after a famous French gourmet and politician, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, though it was first produced more than 100 years after his death — in the 1930s in Normandy.

Nutrition: According to nutritiondata.com, one ounce of feta has 74 calories, 6 grams of fat (4 of those saturated), 4 grams of protein and 14 percent of your daily calcium. Soft goat cheese, meanwhile, has 75 calories, 6 grams of fat (4 grams saturated), 5 grams of protein, 6 percent of your daily vitamin A and 4 percent of your daily calcium per ounce.

Brie has 94 calories, 8 grams of fat (5 grams saturated), 6 grams of protein and 5 percent of your daily calcium per ounce. Camembert has 84 calories, 7 grams of fat (4 grams saturated), 6 grams of protein, 5 percent of your daily vitamin A and 11 percent of your daily calcium per ounce.

Among Brillat-Savarin’s quotes about food is this apt observation: “The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a new star.”

Boursault: A triple-cream cow’s milk cheese that is mild and rich, with a texture best enjoyed at room temperature, rather than cold.

This cheese isn’t named

after a region in France, but rather after its inventor, Henry Boursault.

Stracchino: A soft, liquidy cheese, this cow’s milk product comes out of the Lombardy section of Italy. Eaten fresh, it appears in pizzas, risottos and baked on focaccia.

Reblochon: Made by mixing the milks of three difference types of cow — abondance, tarine and montbéliarde — this nutty, creamy cheese is one of the more pungent soft cheeses.

The cheese was created in the 13th century by the working-class in Savoie while rebelling against landowners who wanted all the milk to themselves.

Instead, the farmers and herdsmen who did the milking did not totally dry out the cows, but rather left a bit for themselves to milk when the officials weren’t looking.

They mixed together the small amounts of milk from

all their cows to create enough for this cheese, which was and still is dried in a cellar.

Kochkäse: A sour cheese of German origin, this is the cooked product of quark mixed with milk, baking soda, caraway seeds and salt

Mix a marinade for olives McClatchy Newspapers

It is a season of celebrations, from big events to small impromptu gatherings.

When calendars are jammed and obligations must be juggled, an impromptu approach feels best. Just have a few party fixings on hand: roasted nuts, cheese, crackers and our favorite, marinated olives.

Jarred olives and supermarket olive bars offer flavor, color and texture variety. But put your own stamp on the olives with a marinade. Best made ahead of time, marinades often team olive oil with an acid (vine-

gar or citrus juice), herbs (thyme, rosemary) and maybe a fiery kick (red pepper flakes).

Here’s a recipe adapted from “Wine Bar Food: Mediterranean Flavors to Crave With Wines to Match”

by Cathy and Tony Mantuano.

1 . Choose large meaty Ce r i g n o l a o l ive s , e i t h e r b l a c k o r g re e n . ( T h e authors prefer the firmerte x t u re d s u p e rc o l o s sa l green olives.)

2. Toast 1 tablespoon fennel seeds in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant.

3. Grind in a spice or coffee grinder, or with a mortar and

pestle.

4. Remove zest from 1 orange in strips with a vegetable peeler.

5. Squeeze orange to make 2/3 cup juice.

6. Mix 3 cups Cerignola green or black olives with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 finely chopped garlic cloves, zest, juice and fennel in a bowl.

7. Cover; marinate in refrigerator overnight or up to five days. Before serving, bring olives to room temperature.

8. Stir; transfer olives to a small dish to serve. (Don’t forget a little bowl for the pits.)

Check your health with comprehensive body measurements Q:

What’s the best way to achieve a healthy weight?

Cooking Q&A

A:

The key to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t about short-term dietary changes. It’s about a lifestyle that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity and balancing the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses.

The first step is to determine whether or not your current weight is healthy.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, assessment of weight and health risk involves using three key measures: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and risk factors for diseases and conditions associated with obesity.

Body Mass Index is a useful measure of overweight and obesity. It is calculated from your height and weight. BMI is an estimate of body fat and a good gauge of your risk of diseases that can occur with more body fat. The higher your BMI,

Susan Krumm skrumm@oznet.ksu.edu

the higher your risk of certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, gallstones, breathing problems and certain cancers.

Although BMI can be used for most men and women, it does have some limits. It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build. It may also underestimate body fat in older persons and others who have lost muscle.

There are many BMI charts and calculators available, but if you don’t know where to begin, go to www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi /bmicalc.htm.

Waist circumference: Mea-

suring waist circumference helps screen for possible health risks that come with overweight and obesity. If most of your fat is around your waist rather than your hips, you’re at a higher risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This risk goes up with a waist size that is greater than 35 inches for women or greater than 40 inches for men. To correctly measure your waist size (circumference), place a tape measure around your bare abdomen just above your hip bone. Be sure that the tape is snug, but does not compress your skin, and is parallel to the floor. Relax, exhale and measure your waist.

Risk factors for diseases and conditions associated with obesity: Along with being overweight or obese, the following conditions will put you at greater risk for heart disease and other conditions: ● High blood pressure (hypertension) ● High LDL cholesterol (“bad” cholesterol) ● Low HDL cholesterol (“good” cholesterol) ● High triglycerides

MEATLESS MONDAYS

Quick salad rich with fiber

By Sarah Henning shenning@ljworld.com

Welcome back to reality after weeks of holidays, family and endless eating.

In dire need of something satisfying that won’t be painfully heavy in your overused stomach? Look no further than a dinner made satiating by black beans and corn, but light by peppers, tomatoes and lettuce.

Moreover, it’s super quick, meaning it’ll probably take you longer to stand in line at

the store buying the ingredients than actually making it.

BLACK BEAN SALAD 1 ripe avocado, mashed 1/4 cup chopped cilantro 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 (15-ounce) cans no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained 4 cups shredded romaine lettuce 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or thawed if frozen 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped 1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds

● High blood glucose (sugar) ● Family history of premature heart disease ● Physical inactivity ● Cigarette smoking For people who are considered obese (BMI greater than or equal to 30) or those who are overweight (BMI of 25 to 29.9) and have two or more risk factors, it is recommended that you lose weight. Even a small weight loss (between 5 and 10 percent of your current weight) will help lower your risk of developing diseases associated with obesity. People who are overweight, do not have a high waist measurement and have fewer than two risk factors may need to prevent further weight gain rather than lose weight.

Talk to your doctor to see whether you are at an increased risk and whether you should lose weight.

Your doctor will evaluate your BMI, waist measurement and other risk factors of heart disease.

Q: Do you think keeping a food diary really helps promote weight loss?

A: Researchers have studied the use of food diaries and their role in weight loss.

In a study reported in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers noted that overweight people who kept food diaries lost twice as much weight compared with those who did not keep food diaries.

In addition to keeping food diaries, the 1,700 participants in the six-month research study were asked to cut 500 calories from their daily diets, eat more fruits and vegetables, and get 180 minutes of physical activity per week.

They also had the opportunity to work directly with professionals, including nutrition experts, in group sessions. The group sessions also were successful in promoting weight loss, too.

Keeping a food diary takes a little discipline but can be an eye-opening experience.

People often eat much more than they realize.

All you need is a piece of paper and a pen or pencil.

Then you write down everything you eat and drink, whether it includes M&M’s

nabbed from a candy dish, crackers in front of the TV, a pizza sample at the grocery store or the taste-test of tonight’s stew.

Along with the type of food and the amount, write down where you were at the time you ate it and your mood. Were you really hungry or maybe a little bored when you grabbed a snack on the way to the TV? You also can note if you were alone or with a companion.

After you have written down your food intake for a couple of days, here are some questions to ask yourself. Are you eating at least 4 1/2 to 5 cups of fruits and vegetables daily? Are you consuming the equivalent of 3 cups of milk daily? Are half your grain choices whole grain? Do you choose a variety of lean meats and fiberrich beans?

Wishing you all a healthy new year!

THE SOFT TOUCH The ‘What Do I Do With ...?’ series examines perfect cheeses for winter indulgence

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

Before the foodie revolution brought upon by blog after blog documenting bite after bite of high quality and highly valued food, it would have been a safe bet that when it came to soft cheeses, Americans almost always would’ve picked cream cheese.

Which is to say, an unaged cow’s milk cheese that had once been consumed as fresh as they come, but these days manages to last forever in square-packaged

blocks in the grocery store.

But with the rise of the foodies, so came a more mainstream appreciation for the delicate, but more mature, flavors of traditional European soft cheeses. Ones that spread on a cracker or crumble smoothly into a salad.

Sure, they’re nothing new; in fact, many of these cheeses are as old as they come. But if soft cheese is new to your kitchen, now’s as good a time as any to familiarize yourself with them.

Here are a few of the mainstream favorites, along with harder-to-find ver-

sions well worth the hunt.

Popular soft cheeses Feta: Extremely popular thanks to its use in Greek food, this salty, crumbly soft cheese is traditionally made from sheep’s or goat’s milk, though today it is often made with cow’s milk. First made by shepherds in the Greek mountains thousands of years ago, this is one of the “hardest” cheeses in the soft cheese market.

Please see SOFT, page 6B

Rebound from a rough night with Hangover Casserole “THE FLYING FORK” ’T was the day after New Year’s Eve, and all through the house, not a person was stirring, because the baby was at his grandma’s.

This meant some much-needed sleeping in for Mr. Meat and Potatoes and myself. And then, there was hunger. The “I’m going to die, certainly, for this is surely what starvation feels like” kind of hunger that only comes after a night of too many champagne cocktails. And of course, it’s the kind of hunger that requires something at least a little greasy. And meaty. And cheesy.

Rifling through the refrigerator, I

came up with the perfect ingredients. Cheese, sausage, crescent rolls, eggs. Oh, how I love crescent rolls. I am not afraid to admit it. The flaky, buttery goodness is just what a body needs after a long night of New Year’s reveling.

“But,” I thought, as I tossed back an Advil or two, “I need something spicy.” More rifling. I produced a can of green chilies. Success!

So, in order to make The World’s Easiest and Best Hangover Egg Casserole, begin assembling.

First, set your oven to 350 degrees. Then brown a small package of pork sausage with a 1/4 cup

a blog by Megan Stuke diced onion. Then, in the bottom of a bread loaf pan, press half of the crescent rolls.

Next, sprinkle on a generous helping of shredded cheese. I used cheddar, but pepper jack would be better, I think, if you have it. (I did not.)

Then add the sausage. I think I browned about a pound and only used half. I reserved the other half for snacking later in the day.

Next, I whisked together five eggs, 1/4 cup milk, the small can of green chilies, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt and a healthy dash of black pepper. And then I poured the egg mixture on top of the sausage. Oh, come to Mama.

Lastly, I sprinkled another layer of shredded cheese and topped with the rest of the crescent rolls.

This is a rather thick casserole and will take awhile to bake, seeing as the eggs have to cook underneath

the layer of crescent rolls, so be patient. Set the timer for 40 minutes and go take a shower. You need one.

When you remove the casserole from the oven, stick a toothpick or fork in to ensure the eggs are no longer runny. If they are, even slightly (runny eggs in a casserole are gross), put it back in for five minute increments until it’s all lovely and firm.

This will make four really large servings or six smaller ones.

Happy New Year, everyone.

Here’s hoping you all had a safe and fun weekend and are facing a 2011 of full bellies and festivity.

A winter TV staple nearly as venerable as “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” “The People’s Choice Awards” (8 p.m., CBS) has been around since 1975 and provides a nice barometer of popular, if predictable, tastes.

For the record, the first movie to win was “The Sting,” starring Paul Newman.

Voting switched to Internet voting in 2005.

Before then, winners were determined by a Gallup poll.

Voters who haven’t bothered to exercise the franchise yet can vote (at peopleschoice.com) up until show time for two categories: Favorite New TV Comedy and TV Drama.

I would vote for “Raising Hope” in the comedy category and abstain from any list of dramas that excludes “Boardwalk Empire.” ● What do guys like? Big loud machines?

Explosions? History? The new series “Greatest Tank Battles” (9 p.m., Military) has them all. Every week “Greatest” will use CGI animation and filmed re-creations to revisit some of military history’s greatest armored conflicts.

The series kicks off with one of the most recent: “The Battle of 73 Easting” that took place during the brief 1991 Gulf War. Next week examines “The Battle for The Golan Heights,” between Syria and Israel in 1973. The rest of the series, airing Wednesdays through March 9, concentrates on battles from World War II. And it saves the biggest for last. The epic 1943 battle of Kursk pitted German and Soviet armies armed with roughly 8,000 tanks between them, and marked the last German offensive on the Eastern front.

So vast in scope, “The Battle of Kursk” will air over two weeks on March 2 and 9. ● Back in its early days, Fox got abysmal ratings but managed to air some edgy and influential shows. “The Simpsons” survived, but “The Tracy Ullman Show” floundered, and so did “The Ben Stiller Show.” It returns tonight on IFC and will air Wednesday nights at 9:30 p.m.

In addition to Stiller, who has gone on to box office gold, including “Tropic Thunder” (7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., FX), “Stiller” featured co-writer Judd Apatow and introduced comics Janeane Garofalo, Andy Dick and Bob Odenkirk. “Stiller” aired very briefly from 1992 to 1993, so look for some period-specific skits and parodies.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Paula Abdul hosts “Live to Dance” (7 p.m., CBS). ● An old flame needs Chance’s help on a two-hour episode of “Human Target” (7 p.m., Fox). ● On back-to-back episodes of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (NBC), Drea de Matteo guest stars (8 p.m.), a predator hides behind the First Amendment (9 p.m.). This marks the return of “SVU” to its 9 p.m. spot. ● Claire declares war on a local speedster on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC). ● “Great Performances at the Met” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents Donizetti’s opera “Don Pasquale.” ● Suzanne’s ex wants a financial readjustment on the season premiere of “Are We There Yet?” (9 p.m., TBS).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Wednesday, Jan. 5: This year, a lot is happening that causes you to revise your thinking. You are more upbeat than you have been in years because of a willingness to let go and try new situations. If you are single, romance bubbles up in the summer. You could meet someone special.

Kansas delays aid payments to schools ————

Medicaid paid on time

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Kansas delayed half of the aid payments due to its public school districts at the start of the new year for a few days because of concerns about a short-term cash crunch, an official confirmed Tuesday.

Elaine Frisbie, deputy state budget director, told The Associated Press that $98 million in funds that normally would have reached school districts Monday won’t get to them until the end of this week. The state paid the other half of the aid on time.

She said the state decided to be cautious after its tax collections in December were about $22 million short of expectations.

Postponing part of the aid to schools allowed the state to avoid a delay in meeting other financial obligations, such as paying bills from health care providers for services to needy Kansans under the Medicaid program.

It’s the first time since the state’s fiscal year began July 1 that the state has delayed aid payments to its 293 school districts, but it regularly delayed them during the previous fiscal year.

Frisbie said it’s possible that if state revenues continue to fall below expectations, schools will see similar delays in February and March, as the state waits for revenues to catch up with bills that have come due.

“We knew at the end of last month, as the month was

closing, we were down on taxes,” Frisbie said. “We were taking the cautious approach.”

Deputy Education Commissioner Dale Dennis said the delay isn’t likely to cause problems for districts because the money will arrive Friday. But he said districts could face difficulties if the delays become longer in future months.

Dennis noted that in December 2009, the state delayed half of its scheduled aid payment for several weeks, and the state had to make special arrangements for six or seven districts so that they could continue to meet their payrolls.

As for this month’s short delay, Dennis said, “We’ll be OK.” Still, such delays have become a source of aggravation for superintendents and other educators. Mark Desetti, a lobbyist for the Kansas National Education Association teachers union, said districts’ payrolls are the majority of their budgets.

“One would hope that it would stop soon,” Desetti said of the delays. “At some point, it’s conceivable that it’s a challenge to meet payroll.

That’s why school administrators are so anxious about this all the time.”

Frisbie said the state avoids delaying payments to Medicaid providers because it doesn’t want them stop participating in the program, which is funded jointly by states and the federal government.

Also, Medicaid is administered by states under federal

rules designed to prevent delays in payments.

In November, the state did postpone a $15 million payment until December to the Kansas Bioscience Authority, for its efforts to nurture emerging biotech companies. And the state has delayed quarterly contributions in the past to pensions for teachers.

“We’ve never held a Medicaid payment,” Frisbie said.

“We always make payroll.”

The latest, short delay in school aid payments come as Gov.-elect Sam Brownback and legislators wrestle with the state’s ongoing budget problems.

The projected gap between projected revenues and current spending commitments is expected to exceed $500 million for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

The projected gap results largely from the expected disappearance of federal economic stimulus funds, which the state has used to prop up aid to schools and social services.

Some legislators have discussed allowing districts to tap reserve funds for general operations, to offset the loss of federal stimulus funds.

But Mark Tallman, a lobbyist for the Kansas Association of School Boards, said districts are using reserve funds now to tide themselves over temporarily when the state is late in making its aid payments.

“Districts have learned to their frustration that the scheduled payment date is at best a goal,” Tallman said.

Suggested New Year’s resolutions for parents, teens Wes: The first column of every New Year brings the Double Take resolutions for teens and parents. It may be a cliché to set new goals at this arbitrary moment in time, but really any day is a good one to start something that brings more sense and meaning to our lives. Here are my suggestions for parents in 2011.

Resolve to be the parent.

You don’t have to apologize for setting standards and expectations for your children. That’s your job. Just remember that a kid’s job is to buck the system and thereby assert his or her own will and self-determination.

If both of you do your jobs in 2011, things will come out OK. Sometimes that’s hard, especially when parents don’t want to be the bad guy.

Resolve to take things less personally. Too many parents get a huge chunk of ego caught up in what their kids do or don’t do right.

Of course it’s natural to feel that your children are extensions of yourself and your values, but an excessive focus on that topic also increases

emotional reactivity and decreases logic and reason.

For parents, that never ends up well.

Resolve to use “discipline” as a noun instead of a verb. Have a discipline, meaning a way of thinking about and valuing the world that you understand and can share with your children.

And remember, the word itself comes from the word “disciple.”

Your goal in 2011 should be to create followers among your kids, not subjects or victims of your punishment.

Ben: In 2011, I suggest the

following resolutions for teenagers: Resolve to talk more than text. Never use the texting function of a cell phone more than your own lips for conversation, to begin or end relationships, while actual people are talking to you, or while driving a car (remember, that’s also illegal now).

Resolve to listen.

Acknowledge that some people (i.e. parents, teachers, friends) may actually be wiser than you are and at least hear them out when they give advice, even if you don’t want to hear it or disagree entirely.

Resolve to breathe. Occasionally stop, however regularly or irregularly, to just let the world spin for a while.

Read a book, stargaze, sing loudly while nobody else is around, or do whatever is needed to do to stop taking yourself and everyone else so seriously.

NAACP files complaint against Nickerson N I C K E R S O N ( A P ) — The Kansas chapter of the NAACP is seeking a federal investigation into the hiring practices in Nickerson, alleging that a former police chief was asked not to hire a qualified police officer because he is black.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent a formal complaint seeking the investigation of the Nickerson City Council and the town’s mayor to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, The Hutchinson News reported Tuesday.

Nickerson Police Chief April Addis resigned in November after the city council reprimanded her for hiring John Bremby, an 18year police veteran from Wichita. She said she was

told to contact Bremby and tell him the hiring had been rescinded.

Nickerson Mayor Bill Golding and other council members said the issue had nothing to do with the officer’s race.

Golding said Addis had been told before the officer was hired that council members wanted to be more involved in the police department’s interviewing and hiring practices but Addis ignored that request.

Addis said she hired three white officers without any objections from city officials but the council overruled her when she hired Bremby.

Darrell Pope, president of the Hutchinson chapter of the NAACP, called the city’s hiring practices a “blatant violation of civil rights.” And

he claimed that except for one meeting several weeks ago with Nickerson City Attorney Stanley Juhnke, Nickerson leaders had ignored the group’s efforts to meet with them.

“You expect to get some reasonable level of response,” he said. “When someone is just blowing you off or ignoring you, you have a tendency to go to places where you think you can get responses, like a federal agency.”

Golding said city officials were not ignoring the NAACP, but had decided to let Juhnke handle the matter.

And he said the accusations were baseless.

“I don’t think it’s a legitimate complaint,” he said. “It goes to show you what happens when somebody gets a little disgruntled.”

Sebelius calls repealing health care law ‘bad idea’

By Karrey Britt

The evidence so far suggests that the reforms are working for millions of U.S. Health and Human Americans.” kbritt@ljworld.com

Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius called repeal of the Affordable Care Act “a bad idea for America.”

Sebelius, former Kansas governor, said Tuesday during a conference call that the federal law is finally freeing Americans from the power of insurance companies.

“It is giving families and small businesses relief from skyrocketing costs and establishing a new level of accountability for insurance companies. Those are goals that we’ve been talking about for years and we’re finally making some progress,” she said.

That’s why it is surprising, she said, that members of Congress say they want to go back to the status quo.

Sebelius provided examples of how a repeal would affect Kansans. Among them: ● 16,800 young adults would lose their insurance

— U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius coverage through their parents’ health plans. ● 1.7 million residents with private insurance coverage would find themselves vulnerable again to having lifetime limits placed on how much insurance companies will spend on their health care. ● 183,000 people would be at risk of losing their insurance at the moment they need it most — after an accident or when sick — because of a simple mistake on an application. ● 416,000 seniors who have Medicare coverage would be forced to pay a co-pay to receive preventive services, like mammograms and colonoscopies. ● 30,186 Medicare benefi-

ciaries would see higher prescription drug costs. The new law provided a one-time, taxfree $250 rebate to help pay for drugs in the “donut hole” coverage gap in 2010. Those who fall into the “donut hole” in 2011 will be eligible for 50 percent discounts on brand name drugs. Eventually, the donut hole will be eliminated.

“The evidence so far suggests that the reforms are working for millions of Americans,” Sebelius said.

“There’s no question that repeal would be a huge step backward that we can’t afford.”

KU proposes expansion of West Campus Library Annex

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — Less than five years after Kansas University opened the Library Annex on west campus, the school needs more space.

KU is seeking approval from the Kansas Board of Regents to build a $4 million, 9,600 square-foot expansion immediately adjacent to the annex at 1880 Westbrooke Drive. The issue will be on the regents’ agenda for its Jan. 19-20 meeting.

The current Library Annex has the capacity to hold 1.6

million volumes. It opened in April 2006 and is already half full.

KU officials expect it will be full within three years, so they want to start now on plans for expansion, which would be completed in spring 2013 and also house 1.6 million volumes.

The facilities will house low-use, high-value research collections in order to free up other campus facilities for more heavily used materials.

The cost of the project will be paid with private funds.

The current facility “was designed to accommodate

this kind of expansion,” said Rebecca Smith, executive director for communications, advancement and administration for KU Libraries.

“We are one of the top 50 libraries in the U.S. in terms of volumes held. The annex storage model is perfect, it allows us to clear the space that we need, to allow collaborative learning,” Smith said.

She said when materials are requested from the annex, they can usually be provided within 24 hours.

Auto sales see first postrecession boost

By Sharon Silke Carty Associated Press Writer

DETROIT — Auto sales rose in the United States last year for the first time since the recession. They’re still far from what they were just a few years ago — but that’s just fine with the downsized auto industry, which can post profits even if they sell millions fewer cars and trucks.

For the year, car and truck sales came in at 11.6 million, up 11 percent from last year, automakers reported Tuesday. For December alone, sales were 1.14 million, also up 11 percent from a year earlier.

While the f igures have some in the industry talking about a return to the glory days, it’s a fragile idea. Rising gas prices or more economic trouble could still shake the confidence of American carbuyers.

But for now, executives are optimistic about this year.

General Motors, Ford and Toyota all predict sales will come in at 12.5 million to 13 million for 2011. It will take years, analysts expect, to get back to the peak sales of the middle of last decade — more like 17 million.

“The economic downturn has lasted quite a while,” says Jessica Caldwell, director of pricing and analysis for consumer website Edmunds .com. “It’s going to be slow

and gradual rather than a fast bounceback.”

Toyota was the only company that sold fewer cars and trucks than in 2009. The company was stung by suddenacceleration recalls in early 2010 and never fully recovered despite luring buyers with generous incentives.

Production problems at its San Antonio plant cut its supply of Tundra and Tacoma pickup trucks, and troubles importing the Prius hybrid also hurt sales.

“We’re coming off what was arguably the most challenging time in our 53-year history,” says Don Esmond, senior vice president of Toyota’s U.S. operations. He says he is optimistic that sales will rebound in 2011.

U.S. automakers are relieved to have the past two years behind them. When the financial crisis hit in the fall of 2008, car sales plummeted.

GM and Chrysler were on the brink of death, saved by a $60 billion government bailout and speedy bankruptcies that helped both companies close plants and eliminate debt.

Ford didn’t declare bankruptcy or take a bailout, but it closed plants, laid off employees, and worked to lower its overall cost structure.

As a result, those companies can now make money even if sales hover below prerecession levels.
