STATE OF THE UNION

The challenges facing us Nationally and here at home

Budget would cut pay of state employees ———

House committee approves slicing salaries by 7.5 percent Green technology

Jobs

The president wants to see the amount of electricity generated from clean energy double by 2035. Today, the number stands at 40 percent. Clean energy would include electricity from solar, wind, natural gas, nuclear and clean coal plants that have carbon sequestration. Where Kansas stands: Obama’s goals are more ambitious than the renewable energy portfolio standards the Kansas Legislature passed in 2009. Under those guidelines, starting this year utilities have to meet 10 percent of their peak energy demand through renewable resources. That number jumps to 15 percent in 2016 and then 20 percent by 2020.

The president points to recently passed legislation as helping turn the economy around. Over the past year, more than 1 million jobs have been created in the private sector. In the year to come, economic forecasters project another 500,000 to 1.5 million new jobs. Where Kansas stands: In December, the state’s unemployment rate stood at 6.4 percent. Over the past year, Kansas businesses gained 4,400 jobs, a 0.3 percent increase. December was the sixth consecutive month where the number of new jobs rose from the year before, according to Kansas Department of Labor data.

High speed rail

Wireless network

Science teachers

Tax credit

The president vows to invest now to increase high speed rail access. His goal is within 25 years, 80 percent of Americans will have convenient access to a high speed rail. Where Kansas stands: Kansas doesn’t have any high speed rail systems and according to a 2010 state rail plan there are no federally designated high speed corridors for Kansas. The state does have some passenger rail transportation. On its longdistance route from Los Angeles to Chicago, Amtrak Train picks up passengers daily at six Kansas cities, including Lawrence.

Obama said that small towns as well as large cities should benefit from a 4G national wireless network. He is proposing that 98 percent of Americans have access to high speed Internet. Where Kansas stands: Just 14 counties in Kansas have 60 percent of households connected to high speed Internet, according to the Federal Communications Commission. Over the past 13 months, Kansas has received $6.4 million in federal money to boost broadband access initiatives in the state.

The president wants to train 100,000 more science and technology teachers. Where Kansas stands: According to the Kansas State Department of Education, the state doesn’t have a shortage in science and technology teachers. Of the state’s more than 44,000 licensed educators, 5,431 are certified to teach science. And, technology training is embedded in other teacher learning requirements. Lawrence also doesn’t have difficulty finding science and technology teachers, according to a spokesman.

Obama is calling to permanently extend the $2,500 tax credit for college tuition. The refundable tax credit would be available through four years of college for each student and is expected to reach 8 million to 10 million families a year. Where Kansas University stands: For 2010 freshmen at KU, the $2,500 tax credit will cover about 32 percent of their tuition. For Kansas resident freshmen, tuition stands at $7,875 a year. — Compiled by J-W reporter Christine Metz

Obama asks GOP to work with him By Steven Thomma McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Looking to boost the country’s slow economic recovery — and his own political rebound — President Barack Obama used his State of the Union address Tuesday night to pitch an agenda that he said will create jobs and to portray himself

as a leader above partisanship eager to work with the Republicans who share power. “The future is ours to win,” he said, sounding his theme. “But to get there, we can’t just stand still.” It was Obama’s first chance to speak directly to the Republicans who seized control of the House of Representatives and increased their strength in the Senate with

a landslide election in November, and he used it to try to frame the coming epic debate over the federal budget, national debt and the economy on his terms. With a Republican speaker of the House over his shoulder for the first time, Obama paid heed to the 2010 elections. He insisted, though, that the country didn’t repudiate his Democrats so

much as divide power. “With their votes, the American people determined that governing will now be a shared responsibility between parties,” he said. “New laws will only pass with support from Democrats and Republicans.” ● More on State of the Union,

TOPEKA — The House budget-writing committee on Tuesday approved a budget that would cut state employee pay 7.5 percent as well as base state aid to public schools. The measure was passed by the Appropriations Committee on a partisan vote with only Republicans supporting it. House Bill 2014 will next go to the full House for debate, but it was not clear when that would happen. Rep. Pete DeGraaf, R-Mulvane, authored the 7.5 percent pay cut, saying it was needed to help bridge an estimated DeGraaf $550 million revenue shortfall. “I realize it’s difficult, but it’s necessary,” DeGraaf said. He acknowledged it would be tough for state workers, but said that during the recession many employees in the private sector have taken pay cuts or lost their jobs. Jane Carter, executive director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees, called the proposal “disgraceful.” “The services and the jobs that they (state employees) do are not respected by the Legislature or by the governor,” she said. The measure would cut all state agencies’ Please see BUDGET, page 2A

ETHICS COMMISSION

Perkins fined $4K but admits no liability By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Former Kansas University Athletic Director Lew Perkins on Tuesday was fined $4,000 for violating a ban on gifts to state officials by accepting free exercise equipment. But under an agreement with the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission, Perkins admitted no liability or any intent to violate the law. “I regret that this matter may have detracted from the attention given to our athletes, as my objective has always been to enhance the programs, facilities and the overall collegiate experience for all of KU's student athletes,” Perkins said in a statement distributed to the media Perkins by his attorney Todd Thompson. Perkins, who resigned in September, also said: “It is time for closure and to move on, and I am glad to have this matter fully and finally resolved.” Ethics Commission Chairwoman Sabrina Standifer of Wichita said the resolution of the case was in the best interests of everyone concerned. She noted that Perkins self-reported the issue to the commission, cooperated fully with the investigation and returned the equipment.

Perkins fined $4,000 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

A payment by Perkins, and no admission of intentionally violating the law, avoided potentially costly and protracted litigation, she said. According to the agreement, Perkins has seven days to pay the fine. "I think it's important to show that state employees are not receiving benefits because of their position, and it's important for the public to know that there are consequences if that does occur,” Standifer said. The ethics complaint alleged that in 2005, thenAthletic Director Perkins accepted at no cost exercise equipment from Medical Outfitters, a now-defunct Lenexa company. The equipment remained in his home until 2009. Perkins was considered a state employee because part of his salary came from taxpayers. State law prohibits gifts to state agencies, state officers and employees, and candidates for state office. The complaint originally had a second count that alleged Perkins asked for and received free physical therapy sessions from employees of the KU department of sports medicine. But that was dropped. Ethics Commission General Counsel Judy Moler said witness statements were not strong enough to pursue the matter.

agency heads and legislators, DeGraaf said. The reductions would occur during the last six pay periods of the current fiscal year. The issue of pay levels for the next fiscal year, which starts July 1, will have to be debated later in the current legislative session, he said. The proposed budget includes nearly all of the budget cuts recommended by Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, and added a few more put in by Republicans on the committee. The bill covers the remainder of the fiscal year, which ends June 30. “The state is bleeding and we have to start making some tough cuts,” said state Rep. Anthony Brown, R-Eudora. Brownback’s budget recommendation would cut school funding in the current school year by reducing base

ities that football and basketball tickets were allegedly sold by staff members who pocketed the money. An audit said the school could have lost upwards of $3 million. Six former athletics department employees and a former department consultant have been charged. Four of the former employees have pleaded guilty in connection with the scheme. And two other defendants are slated for plea hearings this week. Perkins was not implicated but he admitted to having been guilty of poor oversight. Shortly after that hit the news, Perkins was accused by former staff member William Dent of accepting use of the exercise equipment in his home in exchange for giving the company’s owners access to premium men’s basketball tickets. Perkins and the company’s co-owner denied the allegation. Prior to the accusation, Perkins had filed a report with Lawrence police saying he was being blackmailed by Dent over the equipment. Perkins later said he wrote a check for $5,000 for use of the equipment. In June, an internal review by KU found “no evidence” to substantiate Dent’s claims. Perkins had announced he would retire in September 2011, but on Sept. 7, 2010, he announced he was stepping down immediately. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

state aid per student from $4,012 to $3,937, or $75 per pupil. It would also fall $16.7 million short of federal requirements for special education funding. Educators said that could mean the loss of an additional $70 million in federal funds. Brownback’s policy director, Landon Fulmer, said it wasn’t certain whether there would be a penalty, although he said Kansas has already been penalized $2 million by the federal government for falling short on special education funding. In addition to the proposed pay cut, the proposed budget also ends a pay program that was designed to boost the pay of some state employees who earned far less than their private sector counterparts. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Moler and Perkins' attorney Thompson agreed to a consent decree, finding of facts and report that they had worked out before the commission's meeting on Tuesday. The consent decree states that it is a “compromise of a disputed claim; the payment made is not an admission of liability on the part of the Respondent (Perkins) and, in fact, Respondent maintains his innocence.” Appearing briefly before the commission, Thompson said he had no statement, but noted that Perkins selfreported and made a $5,000 payment for the equipment. But later Standifer said it was unknown if that payment was actually made. After Moler presented the consent decree, the commission went into a closed-door session for about 10 minutes. When members returned to open session, Commissioner Mark Simpson made a motion to fine Perkins the maximum $5,000, but that failed on a 4-5 vote. A motion was then made for a $4,000 fine and that was approved. Commissioner John Solbach said he believed the maximum was too much but that a $4,000 fine “indicates this is a serious manner.” The controversy surrounding the exercise equipment was one of several that plagued Perkins last year.

Gitmo detainee gets life sentence The first, and possibly the last, Guantanamo detainee to have a U.S. civilian trial was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday for his role in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, a case that nearly unraveled when the defendant was convicted on just one of more than 280 counts. Ahmed Ghailani, who served as Osama bin Laden’s cook and bodyguard after the bombings in Tanzania and Kenya, sought leniency, claiming he was tortured at a secret CIA detention site after his arrest in Pakistan seven years ago. But U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan imposed the maximum sentence, saying that whatever Ghailani suffered “pales in comparison to the suffering and the horror” caused by the nearly simultaneous attacks, which killed 224 people and injured thousands more.

Protesters denounce Egyptian leader Egyptian police fired tear gas and rubber bullets and beat protesters to clear thousands of people from a central Cairo square after the biggest demonstrations in years against President Hosni Mubarak’s authoritarian rule. Two protesters and a police officer were killed in the nationwide demonstrations inspired by Tunisia’s uprising, which also demanded a solution to Egypt’s grinding poverty and were likely to fuel growing dissent in a presidential election year. Mobilized largely on the Internet, the waves of protesters filled Cairo’s central Tahrir — or Liberation — Square on Tuesday, some hurling rocks and climbing atop armored police trucks. 3 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Study: Few students skilled in science Very few students have the advanced skills that could lead to careers in science and technology, according to results of a national exam released Tuesday that education leaders called alarming. Only 1 percent of fourth-grade and 12th-grade students, and 2 percent of eighth-graders scored in the highest group on the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress, a federal test known as the Nation’s Report Card. Less than half were considered proficient, with many more showing minimal science knowledge. U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said the results mean students aren’t learning at a rate that will maintain the nation’s role as an international leader in the sciences. He and others expressed concern that more students aren’t prepared for careers as inventors, doctors and engineers in a world increasingly driven by technology. 4 | MOSCOW

Putin vows revenge for bombing Prime Minister Vladimir Putin vowed revenge Tuesday for the suicide bombing that killed 35 people at a Moscow airport — a familiar tough-on-terrorism stance that has underpinned his power but also led to a rising number of deadly attacks in Russia. Lax security also was blamed for Monday’s explosion in the international arrivals area of Domodedovo Airport that also injured 180 people, with President Dmitry Medvedev criticizing police and managers at the airport, the largest of three that serve the capital. NTV television showed a photograph of what it said was the detached head of the suspected bomber. Investigators have said that DNA testing will be necessary before the man, who appears to be in his 30s, can be identified. 5 | CHICAGO

Illinois’ highest court agreed Tuesday to decide whether Rahm Emanuel can run for Chicago mayor, and justices ordered election officials not to print any ballots without his name until they rule on the case. The action bought valuable time for the former White House chief of staff, who a day earlier was kicked off the ballot by an appeals court. The state Supreme Court said it would expedite the matter but gave no specific time frame. With less than a week to go before the first early ballots are cast, a number of potential scenarios loomed, including the possibility that Emanuel would have to resort to a write-in campaign or wage a desperate bid to take the matter to federal court.

Commissioners approved the rezoning on a 4-1 vote over the objection of several neighbors who said the 20 to 40 homes in the general area would be negatively impacted by the zoning. Commissioner Aron Cromwell voted against rezoning. But city commissioners made it clear they felt the Farmers Turnpike area northwest of Lawrence was destined to change. “There is a glowing point here,” Commissioner Lance Johnson said. “It is K-10 and I-70. This is where they come together, and it is the best location in Douglas County and the city of Lawrence to do this type of development. I’m sorry it affects the 40 or so residents, but I don’t know how it can make more sense than to put it right here.” A development group led by Duane and Steve Schwada sought the rezoning for the southwest corner of the Farmers Turnpike and E 1000 Road. The group doesn’t yet have a tenant for the site but is seeking the city’s heaviest industrial zoning for the property to market it to a variety of businesses that want to be located along the I-70 corridor. Neighbors told commissioners they were open to a compromise. Ron Schneider, an attorney for the neighborhood group, said area residents could live with the property being rezoned to a less intense industrial zoning category. But a majority of commissioners balked at the idea because they said it would create too much uncertainty about what type of industrial uses would be allowed at the site. Neighbors afterwards said they were disappointed in the

an extracurricular law school activity, and will be working some more to prepare for next week’s national competition in New York. They say the experience has paid off — they’ve learned a lot while preparing a 40-plus-page legal brief and arguing before several different lawyers, judges and law school professors in practice rounds. The competition is judged on

— Evan North, third-year law student the written brief and oral arguments, performed before a mock panel of appellate judges. Teams must be prepared to argue both for and against the side for which they prepared the brief. North, a third-year law student from Lenexa, said that preparing for the National Moot

The commission’s other two members — Mike Amyx and Aron Cromwell — have two years left on their terms. The other candidates are: ● Sven Alstrom, a Lawrence architect and former member of the city’s Historic Resources Commission.

● Hugh Carter, a financial planner and former Lawrence-Douglas County planning commissioner. ● Mike Machell, a human resources manager and chair of the city’s Library Board. ● Bob Schumm, a downtown restaurant owner and former mayor and city commissioner. The field of five candidates is the smallest for a City Commission election since at least 1969, said Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew. Records at the county clerk’s office show that the average size field for city commission elections over the last four decades has been about 12 candidates, and once hit 20 candidates. That was in 1975. Shew said he’s not sure why interest dropped off this year, but he said the poor economy may be causing

some potential candidates to have second thoughts. “With the economy and the issues governments are currently facing, these positions are not easy,” Shew said. Chestnut said he also thought the economy was playing a role, but from a slightly different angle. “People have a lot of priorities right now,” Chestnut said. “Everybody has to pitch in a little bit more at their fulltime jobs to keep bread on the table. As much as they may want to do public service, there may be other priorities that are holding them back.” The small f ield means there will not be a primary election in March. The general election will be April 5. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw.

Eudora man suspected of using car as weapon A Eudora man was arrested Monday on an assault charge, and for the second time this month police accuse him of using his vehicle as a weapon during an argument. Sgt. Tom Willis, a Eudora police spokesman, said officers arrested 46-year-old Bradley Goff on charges of aggravated assault and reckless driving Monday evening after Goff had an altercation

with a 21-year-old Eudora man and another person in the 1100 block of Main Street. Douglas County prosecutors filed two more counts of aggravated assault against the man Tuesday afternoon, and a judge set his bond at $5,000, cash or surety. Goff on Monday evening was out on $2,500 bond because he already faces an aggravated assault charge in Douglas County District Court after a similar altercation Jan. 8 in the 1000 block of Cherry

Street. He was accused of swerving his vehicle at a 55year-old Eudora man, who reported it to police. Willis said officers believe Monday’s altercation stemmed from the incident earlier this month.

LED streetlight plan not as far along as reported By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

City officials are exploring the feasibility of a project to install LED streetlights in downtown Lawrence. But the project is not as far along as a streetlight industry publication reported on Tuesday. City spokeswoman Megan Gilliland said the city is exploring using a portion of an $858,600 federal energy conservation grant that the city received in late 2009 for an LED project. As previously reported, the project primary provid-

A website — newstreetlights.com — on Tuesday reported the city had decided that about 100 LED streetlights would be installed primarily on Massachusetts Street, but also along New Hampshire Street. It also reported that about $210,000 in grant money would be used. ed funding to replace the heating and cooling system at the Lawrence P ublic Library, interior lighting upgrades at the library, and funding for the city/county sustainability coordinator position. But the grant application also said that unspent money

may go toward a downtown LED lighting project. A website — newstreetlights.com — on Tuesday reported the city had decided that about 100 LED streetlights would be installed primarily on Massachusetts Street, but also along New Hampshire Street. It also

reported that about $210,000 in grant money would be used. Gilliland said no dollar amount has been set for the project. She also said the city hasn’t made any decision about the style or look of the lights that would be used in any downtown project. She said the City Commission would be presented w i t h co m p l e te d e t a i l s before the project moves forward. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362.

city’s decision and will consider filing a legal appeal in Douglas County District Court. Several of the neighbors were part of a group that previously filed a lawsuit related to 155 acres of industrial property directly north of

the Lecompton interchange, which remains under appeal. “The quickest way to move forward on this project was to reach a compromise with the neighbors, and the city just wasn’t willing to do that,” said Dave Ross, president of the Scenic Riverway Community Association.

Tuesday’s rezoning request was the third in about the last year to add industrial zoning to the area near the Lecompton interchange. In addition to the 51-acre and the 155-acre sites, a site just west of the Lecompton interchange recently was rezoned for a project to build a major new

warehouse for Berry Plastics. That project has received less opposition from neighbors, but it also asked for less intense industrial zoning than the other two sites. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw.

CITY COMMISSION BRIEFS Boarding house rules to change The rules for boarding houses in Lawrence soon will be changing, Lawrence city commissioners agreed Tuesday. Commissioners unanimously approved long-discussed code changes that are expected to make it easier for large houses in non-single-familyzoned areas to be converted into boarding houses. The changes reduce the parking standards for boarding houses that are more than 3,500 square feet. The new

parking standards would require 0.5 parking spaces per bedroom. Currently they are required to provide 0.75 percent parking spaces per occupant of the house. Smaller houses that are converted into boarding houses will have more stringent parking standards to meet. They’ll be required to provide one parking space per bedroom. Commissioners approved the plan over objections from some members of the Oread neighborhood who said they were concerned about parking issues.

Jan. 20, 21, 22 and 27, 28, 29 at 7:30pm

Rezoning proposal deferred Commissioners deferred action on another Oread-related code change. Commissioners unanimously agreed to send back to the planning commission a proposal that would change how living units are calculated in RM-32 multifamily zoning districts. Commissioners expressed concern the code changes could create a host of unintended consequences for RM-32 district, the largest of which are in the Oread neighborhood.

Barbecue team heads to contest CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“One of the things that drives me in this deal, we actually have a chance to be one of the best at this in the world, you know,” he said. Chambers, helping to load up the RV in the Chaney Inc. parking lot near 27th Street and Haskell Avenue, said winning — which he admitted was pretty fun to do — was mostly about getting some luck. He also likes involving his

family — though this time, the four men will travel alone, in many of the team’s other 17 or 18 competitions per year, Flory said his wife will help cook desserts, and his children can compete in separate kids’ competitions. The team had adjusted their strategy for the competition in Florida — they like their barbecue a little less sugary than in the Kansas City area, something between the hot-enough-toblow-you-away stuff in

Texas and the mustard-andvinegar stuff in Memphis, Flory said. “Ninety percent of it is getting good cuts of meat and getting it tender,” Chambers said, adding that the team’s meat comes from Arrowhead Meat Co. in North Kansas City, Mo. “If you’ve got to gnaw on it like a boot, you’re not going to like it.” — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

Law students getting ready for national moot court competition CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

The issues raised in the case are complex, North said, and include whether a city can pre-empt federal law, among other complicated legal issues. “It’s not something I knew anything about before I started this,” North said. KU has several moot court squads participating in competitions, but this team is one of the most distinguished in the country, said Pam Keller, a law school professor who serves as the stu-

dents’ moot court coach. “To have won the regionals and to participate in the nationals is really a terrific accomplishment for the students,” Keller said. “And the law school is very proud of them.” Grisé, a December law school graduate from Olathe, has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, and said she has enjoyed all the work the contest has required. “I’m kind of obsessed with this,” she said, easily recalling that there are 28 schools rep-

resented out of 14 regions in the national competition. The team won KU’s region, which included law schools from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Arkansas. Grisé said she has been telling her friends that they’ll win in New York next week, and believes that she and North can make good on that promise. “We decided that KU hadn’t won in a while,” she said. “And we want to win it.” — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

STATE OF THE UNION

Obama urges unity to move forward By Ben Feller

Take Charge!

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Pleading for unity in a newly divided government, President Barack Obama implored Democratic and Republican lawmakers to rally behind his vision of economic revival for an anxious nation, declaring in his State of the Union address Tuesday night: “We will move forward together or not at all.” The president unveiled an agenda of carefully balanced political goals: a burst of spending on education, research, technology and transportation to make the nation more competitive, alongside pledges, in the strongest terms of his presidency, to cut the deficit and smack down spending deemed wasteful to America. Yet he never explained how he’d pull that off or what specifically would be cut. Obama spoke to a television audience in the millions and a Congress sobered by the assassination attempt against one if its own members, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Her seat sat empty, and many lawmakers of competing parties sat together in a show of support and civility. Yet differences were still evident, as when Democrats stood to applaud his comments on health care and tax cuts while Republicans next to them sat mute. In his best chance of the year to connect with the country, Obama devoted most of his hour-long primetime address to the economy, the issue that dominates concern in a nation still reeling from a monster recession — and the one that will shape his own political fortunes in the 2012 election. Eager to show some budget toughness, Obama pledged to veto any bill with earmarks, the term used for lawmakers’ pet projects. House Speaker John Boehner and other Republicans applauded. But Obama’s promise drew a rebuke from his own party even before he spoke, as Senate Majority Leader Harry

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA TALKS with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev., left, and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday after delivering his State of the Union address. Reid, D-Nev., said that the president had enough power and that plans to ban earmarks were “a lot of pretty talk.” Obama’s proposals Tuesday night ranged across the scope of government: cutting the corporate tax, providing wireless services for almost the whole nation, consolidating government agencies and freezing most discretionary federal spending for the next five years. Obama entered the House chamber to prolonged applause and to the unusual sight of Republicans and Democrats seated next to one another rather than on different sides of the center aisle. And he began with a political grace note, taking a moment to congratulate Boehner, the new Republican speaker of the House. Calling for a new day of cooperation, Obama said: “What comes of this moment will be determined not by whether we can sit together tonight but whether we can work together tomorrow.” On a night typically known for its political theater, the lawmakers sometimes seemed subdued, as if still in the shadow of the Arizona shootings. Many in both parties wore black-and-white lapel ribbons, signifying the deaths in Tucson and the hopes of the sur-

GOP asks Obama to join in cutting spending By Andrew Taylor Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The nation faces a crushing burden of debt and is on course for an economic disaster without dramatic action to wrestle the budget deficit under control, House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan said Tuesday in the Republican response to President Ryan Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. And such spending cuts must start immediately as the price of getting GOP conservatives to cast a painful vote to increase the government’s ability to borrow to pay its bills this spring, Ryan said. “Our nation is approaching a tipping point. We are at a moment, where if government’s growth is left unchecked and unchallenged, America’s best century will be considered our past century,” Ryan said in televised remarks. “The days of business as usual must come to an end. We hold to a couple of simple convictions: Endless borrowing is not a strategy; spending cuts have to come first,” Ryan added. Ryan is the point man in the new House GOP majority’s drive to rein in spending and bring the budget closer to balance. Tuesday’s speech was the highest profile assignment yet for a wonky former congressional staff aide who has evolved into one of his party’s brightest stars. Ryan is best known for a controversial budget plan brimming with politically unpopular ideas like gradually turning Medicare into a voucher program, curbing Social Security benefits and allowing younger workers to divert Social Security taxes

into private accounts. He says such tough steps are needed, given intractable budget deficits that threaten America’s prosperity. On Tuesday, Ryan, who often peppers his speeches with straight talk about the need for painful cost curbs to benef it programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, did not offer such “tough love.” Ryan’s plan, the “Roadmap for America,” is so politically toxic that GOP campaign operatives urged candidates to shy away from it. Democrats went on the attack as soon as they heard Ryan was to deliver Tuesday’s GOP response. “Paul Ryan owes it to the national audience tonight to explain why he wants to privatize Social Security and Medicare,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said. Speaking from a budget panel hearing room that will be ground zero in the upcoming battle over cutting spending, Ryan echoed familiar GOP arguments. “We need to reclaim our American system of limited government, low taxes, reasonable regulations and sound money, which has blessed us with unprecedented prosperity,” Ryan said. “And it has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed.” Ryan’s sentiments were repeated by numerous Republicans across the Capitol, who said Obama’s proposal for a five-year freeze on the operating budgets passed by Congress each year for domestic Cabinet agencies doesn’t go far enough. They are also deeply skeptical of his plan for investments in education, infrastructure, and research and development. “At a time when the Treasury secretary is begging Congress to raise the debt limit, a ‘freeze’ is simply inadequate,” House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said.

vivors. Giffords’ husband was watching the speech from her bedside, as he held her hand. Obama conceded that everything he asked for would prompt more partisan disputes. “It will take time,” he said. “And it will be harder because we will argue about everything. The cost. The details. The letter of every law.” In a speech with little focus on national security, Obama appeared to close the door on keeping any significant U.S. military presence in Iraq beyond the end of the year. “This year, our civilians will forge a lasting partnership with the Iraqi people while we finish the job of bringing our troops out of Iraq,” the president said. The president reiterated his call for a comprehensive immigration bill, although there appears little appetite for it Congress. Another big Obama priority that stalled and died in the last Congress, a broad effort to address global climate change, did not get a mention in the State of the Union. Nor did gun control or the struggling effort to secure peace in the Middle East. After dispensing with all the policy, the president ended in a sweeping fashion. “We do big things,” the president said. “The idea of America endures.”

EDITORIALS

Keeping faculty If professors are leaving because of money, strategies for retaining them need to be explored.

news story in last week’s Journal-World told about a world-renowned researcher in the field of bioinformatics leaving Kansas University for a similar position at the University of Michigan. The story reported the professor was generating $2.5 million in research funds but Michigan offered a $2 million startup offer to conduct his research. Bioinformatics is !he application of statistics and computer science to the field of molecular biology. A KU spokesman said, “The loss of professor Yang Zhang has been a major setback for bioinformatics and molecular biosciences departments.” The story about professor Zhang was meant to demonstrate how Kansas is losing and still continues to lose, attract and fail to hold world-class sciCouldn’t the KU entists due to the tight f iscal Endowment restraints faced Association have by Kansas univerfound funds to sities. Apparently counter the Michigan representatives from the state’s offer? Did KU Regents schools officials ask the had considered Endowment trying to make Association for their case for assistance? Were increased funding by trying to gaththere others who could have assisted? er f igures from schools Or, were there other member on the number of reasons professor faculty who have Zhang decided to left recently for accept the Michigan better offers. They then would offer? forward this information to state lawmakers. However, at a meeting last Wednesday of the Regents Council of Presidents, the project was dropped. KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said “there was not a clear pattern” of faculty losses across all Regents universities. So, the council decided to focus on several specific instances of faculty being lured away. Apparently the case of KU’s professor Zhang is one such instance. It seems obvious Dr. Zhang’s move to Michigan is a loss for KU, but this particular situation raises the question of whether there might have been some way for the school to have kept the researcher in his KU laboratory. For example, couldn’t the KU Endowment Association have found funds to counter the Michigan offer? Did KU officials ask the Endowment Association for assistance? Were there others who could have assisted? Or, were there other reasons professor Zhang decided to accept the Michigan offer? When KU has lost valuable faculty before there have, at times, been issues other than money that triggered the move. “Money” may be the reason some claim KU has lost an important researcher. But in some cases there are factors more of a professional nature or questions about the level of support they received from the administration. It would seem, however, if indeed money was the principal reason for professor Zhang’s move, why wasn’t the KU Endowment Association able to solve the problem? Did anyone ask, or did association officials say “no”?

U.S.-Cuba travel to shake Caribbean a bit PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC — I happened to be visiting this stunning beach resort on the day when the Obama administration announced new measures to allow for more U.S. travel to Cuba, and I couldn’t help wonder whether a gradual increase of U.S. visitors to Cuba won’t hurt all other Caribbean tourism spots. Granted, those measures do not amount to a lifting of the U.S. travel embargo on Cuba and will not result in an immediate avalanche of U.S. tourists to Cuba. The new measures will make it easier for schools, churches and cultural groups to visit the communist-ruled island, allowing them to organize charter flights as part of a plan to increase “people-to-people” contacts. But the new measures, coupled with previous Obama administration steps to relax restrictions on travel by Cuban-Americans to Cuba, will undoubtedly result in a sizable increase in U.S. tourism to Cuba. It’s already happening. A frequent flier to Havana told me recently that there were 20 flights a day from Miami to Havana in December, when Cuban-Americans from Florida flocked to visit their relatives for the year-end holidays. Now, travel agencies will be able to organize charter flights with “cultural” purposes, which — if the administration interprets its own rules with flexibility — could include almost anything.

aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

Cuba’s amaz“ingDespite beauty, many vacationers go there only once — out of curiosity — and never go back, because they don’t like the service.”

“The new measures won’t produce an explosion of U.S. tourism to Cuba, but that will come eventually,” says Andy Dauhajre, a well-known economist who heads the Dominican Republic’s Economic and Development Foundation. “And when it comes, it will have a significant impact over places like Cancun, the Bahamas, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic.” According to Dauhajre’s estimates based on a 2008 International Monetary Fund report, a total opening of U.S. tourism to Cuba could result in an influx of between 1 million and 3 million U.S. tourists, which — in the lat-

ter scenario — would result in an annual loss of 700,000 U.S. visitors to Cancun, 600,000 to the Bahamas, 400,000 to Jamaica and 360,000 to the Dominican Republic. “The key is whether Cuba will be able to build more hotel rooms to accommodate the new U.S. visitors,” says Dauhajre. “If it can’t, there will be a spill-over of Canadian and European tourists to other Caribbean destinations.” The 2008 IMF study by economist Rafael Romeu, titled “Vacation Over: Implications for the Caribbean of Opening U.S.-Cuba Tourism,” concluded that an opening of Cuba to U.S. tourism “would represent a seismic shift in the Caribbean’s tourism industry.” Cuba receives about 2.5 million tourists a year, mostly from Canada, Europe and Latin America. The Cuban regime, perhaps anticipating the Obama administration’s much-expected new measures, projected recently that it expects the number of tourists to the island to grow by a strong 10 percent this year. But some experts say even an all-out opening of U.S. tourism to Cuba would not cripple other Caribbean countries’ tourism industries. Carlos Vogeler, head of the World Tourism Organization’s Americas’ department, told me that a massive influx of U.S. tourists to Cuba would bring about a new excitement about travel to the Caribbean that

would result in more travel to all tourism spots in the region. “The pie will grow for all Caribbean tourism destinations,” he said. My opinion: When it comes, the impact on the Caribbean of an avalanche of U.S. tourists to Cuba will be less dramatic than expected. First, Cuba is not likely to have enough hotels to house huge numbers of U.S. tourists, although some will arrive on cruise ships. Second, and most important, it will take many years — if not decades — for Cuba’s tourism industry to offer the kind of efficient and cordial service that you find in other Caribbean countries. It has already been more than 20 years since the reunification of Germany and the opening of the former East Germany to Western tourists, and hotels in Eastern Germany still suffer from lousy service. Despite Cuba’s amazing beauty, many vacationers go there only once — out of curiosity — and never go back, because they don’t like the service. After 50 years of the U.S. travel ban to Cuba, there is undoubtedly a lot of pent-up curiosity about the island in the United States. It will cause a big jump in U.S. tourism to Cuba but it won’t be the end of the world for Punta Cana, nor for most other Caribbean travel destinations. — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

OLD HOME TOWN

Warm Hearts, a volunteer organization offering help to low-income peoYEARS ple with their winAGO ter heating bills, IN 1986 launched their fourth fund-raising campaign. Twenty-nine households, or a total of 92 persons, had been helped since Dec. 16, with assistance totaling $4,653. Both supporters and critics were speaking up about a new proposal to shift site plan review from the Lawrence City Commission to the city planning staff. The new process would speed up the planning for developers and reduce the burden on the commissioners, but it would also remove public comment from that stage of the development process.

Charles Manson and three of his “followers” were convicted of firstYEARS degree murder and AGO conspiracy in the IN 1971 slayings of actress Sharon Tate and six other people. The jury had deliberated 42 hours and 40 minutes after the conclusion of the seven-month trial. The penalty trial was scheduled to begin later in the week. A dedication at Black Jack Park in Baldwin City was the culmination of more than a year’s work on construction of an authentic log cabin. The structure, just east of the park on U.S. Highway 56, was to be used as a recreation and meeting house, and eventually, as a museum.

Great neighbors To the editor: I love my neighbors! I recently moved to Lawrence. This morning I went outside to shovel after the lovely 6-inch snowfall. My next-door neighbor Eric was using his snowblower on my sidewalk and driveway, and worked until the wheel fell off. Later this morning I went out to shovel some more, and two men in a pickup stopped and asked if they could help. Yippee! Their names are Dusty and Chris, one a firefighter and one a teacher, whom I had never met before! They did a fine job of clearing my sidewalk and driveway. I am pleased to live in Lawrence and thank God for my great neighbors! Susan Barr, Lawrence

Kobach no King To the editor: This past week a friend said his personal MLK Day tradition was to read Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” He said he read it slowly and without distraction, and he invited others to do the same. I did read it and found much “to enlighten us in our own dark times” as another writer has said. King’s words are needed today as dark times are being ushered in by the new secretary of state, Kris Kobach, as he introduces his voter ID legislation. Much has been written showing that voter fraud has not been a problem, and Kobach’s proposed remedy would harm many elderly, poor and minority Kansans.

Why is one person so obsessed with this non-issue? Before a scheme to suppress minority voters was caught in 2007, Kobach said “the Kansas GOP has identified and caged more voters in the past 11 months than the previous two years.” Caging is an illegal trick to suppress minority voters by getting them knocked off voter rolls. Kobach’s history and associations are truly frightening. Now he is using the guise of protecting voters’ rights to suppress voter participation, while simultaneously increasing his powers to prosecute violations. In the words of King, “There are two types of laws: just and unjust.” King also speaks of the “silence of the good people.” Kansas is already infamous for one road show of bigotry. Now our secretary of state says, “Kansas will be to voter fraud what Arizona is to illegal immigration.” Fear and witch hunts do not make a state we can be proud of. We must stand with civil and religious organizations opposing this bill. Rosemary Murphy. Lawrence

Compromise To the editor: Regarding the editorial of Jan. 21 (“Name Delay”), I do completely understand where you are coming from, but I also think it is inappropriate to call a new-fangled (yes, I am old) “middle school” a junior high. Don’t get me wrong, I am completely behind the idea of ninthgrade in the high schools. I happened to hear the school board debate this issue on TV

about a week ago, and I thought their reasoning quite logical: Now is the time. I am somewhat appalled that this editorial suggests this would create ill will in the decision-making of each school. That is an interesting jumped-to conclusion. I had jumped to the conclusion that the decision process would allow each school’s “interested parties” to become more active From the and invested in their school.

We all had a wonderful time at the Watkins museum and wanted our thanks to be known. It was a magnificent party in a fantastic venue and we really appreciate the spirit of generosity the museum showed our group. It’s good to know that Lizzie is being remembered and her sense of giving continues on. Thank you for helping us share the story of Elizabeth Miller Watkins. Sarah Greenup, Lawrence

LAWRENCE ALMANAC Through 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Community garden set for Free State campus Students at Free State High School soon will be able to grow fruits, vegetables and other plants in an on-campus garden — and others in the community will be invited to join them. Lawrence school board approved plans for the Free State Community and Learning Garden just southwest of the school at 4700 Overland Drive. The garden would occupy part of a former practice area for the marching band, generally between Overland Drive and the school’s baseball field. The garden will allow students to use skills learned through the Agriculture Science Career Pathway and be managed by members of Free State’s FFA chapter. Other interested gardeners in the community will be able to rent garden plots at the site, for an as-yet-undetermined fee. Work to prepare the site will begin late this winter or early spring, said Patrick Kelly, a career and technical education specialist for Lawrence school district.

BOULDER, COLO. — Marcus Morris tapped his fist over the initials “LR,” which were sewn right above the American flag on his Kansas University basketball jersey, each and every time he shot a free throw Tuesday night in Coors Events Center. He hit f ive charities in six tries, including two with :16.9 seconds remaining in KU’s 82-78 victory over Colorado — all in The Jayhawks (in memory of this case, Josh Lisa Robinson, Selby) sported a the mother of patch in honor of KU sophomore the late Lisa Thomas Robinson who Robinson on their died Friday left shoulders night of an apparent heart attack in Washington, D.C. “I did it to show respect. I felt I was close to her, too,” said Morris, who scored 15 points and grabbed five rebounds as KU (191 overall, 4-1 Big 12) claimed its eighth straight victory in Boulder and 16th in a row versus the Buffs (14-7, 3-3). “I’ll do it for her the rest of the year.” Morris cut short a cell-phone conversation with Robinson to speak with reporters in a hallway 20 minutes after the game. Robinson flew from Lawrence back to D.C. to be with his sister, Jayla Paris, on Monday afternoon. “He said, ‘Good game, cousin. Way to hold it down, cousin.’ We call each other cousin, even though we are brothers,” Morris said of Robinson. Morris — he and the Jayhawks will fly charter to D.C. this afternoon in preparation for Thursday morning’s funeral — revealed for the first time Tuesday that he was with Robinson when Robinson f ielded the phone call from his 9-year-old sister late Friday night. The call was to inform Thomas that Lisa Robinson had passed away. “Me, Kieff (Markieff Morris, six points, 11 boards Tuesday) and T. Rob were sitting in the room. He got a voicemail from his sister.

BOULDER, COLO. — There he was sitting on the bench and watching again Tuesday night toward the end of the game, just as he was the first nine games of the season because the NCAA had suspended him. There he was sitting and watching again, just as he had been when his performance gave his coach no reason to want to trust him in crunch time. The difference for Josh Selby this time was he had played a huge part in giving Kansas University its lead on the way to an 82-78 victory against Colorado in the wild Coors Event Center. Selby — who did make a brief appearance in the final minute because of his free-throw accuracy — scored 15 of his 17 points in the first half and contributed five assists and four rebounds with just one turnover. A sprained ankle he suffered late in the first half robbed him of his explosiveness and limited him to 10 second-half minutes. “That bothered me a little bit in the second half because my mobility wasn’t there, but I’ll get some treatment on it, and I’ll be fine,” Selby said. As for his psyche coming off the first real slump of his entire basketball life, Selby sounded as if that already had been treated during Monday’s practice. “I had a talk with coach (Bill Self), and he told me he wanted me to be more aggressive,” said Selby, a 6-foot-2, 183-pound freshman from Baltimore. “So I just tried to come out here and be aggressive scoring, either get me or one of my teammates a shot.” Selby didn’t waste any time bringing it to the Buffaloes. On his first chance, he took it right to the paint, broke down the defense, and the possession ended with Tyrel Reed drilling a three from the left corner. During his 15 first-half minutes, Selby had scored on a runner, a pair of jumpers and a trio of three-pointers and had three assists. A couple of the shots that went in might not have looked like wise choices, but they went in, and for a player Please see SELBY, page 5B

Frenetic finish favors Firebirds in Showdown win By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

Free State High junior Georgi Funtarov said he never had played in front of as many people in Europe as he did Tuesday at Lawrence High. Everyone who packed in the Jungle for this season’s first edition of the City Showdown certainly will remember Funtarov’s big play on the big stage. Funtarov’s jump hook with six seconds to go put the Firebirds up a point. Lawrence quickly inbounded the ball, but junior Logan Henrichs’ contested layup slipped off the rim, giving Free State the 61-60 victory.

Firebirds coach Chuck Law said his team had tried to run the play that set up Funtarov’s shot all game long. His players executed it in the final seconds, but they nearly lost the game on the other end. “The problem is, we got a little celebratory after the basket and forgot to get our backsides back on defense,” Law said. Henrichs raced up the floor past the slacking Firebirds, launching a contested layup as the final seconds ran off. The ball banked off the glass and sat on the rim before bouncing off as the buzzer sounded. Henrichs and junior KJ Pritchard sat in the corner of the

court, wondering how the shot didn’t fall. “You could have timed that ball with a sundial with how long that hung on the rim,” Law said. Free State senior Eric Watson, who finished with a game-high 19 points, said he thought the game was over when Henrichs took the shot. “I know this is the last time that we’re going to play in the Jungle, and it just means everything to us,” Watson said. It would have been hard to see Funtarov’s heroics coming late in the first half. After an athletic follow-up dunk, Funtarov hung on Please see LATE, page 6B

Welker regrets foot-related comments B O S T O N ( AP ) — New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker says he regrets comments he made referring to foot-fetish reports involving New York Jets coach Rex Ryan. “Yeah, sure I do,” he told the Boston Herald, according to a report on the newspaper’s website Tuesday. The Herald said Welker expressed his regret at an airport in San Francisco while awaiting his flight to Honolulu for the Pro Bowl on Sunday.

At a news conference on Jan. 13, three days before the Jets beat the Patriots 28-21 in a divisional playoff game, Welker made about a dozen references to toes and feet, a not-sosubtle dig at Ryan. Patriots coach Bill Welker Belichick benched Welker for the first offensive series of that game.

In the week before the game, the Jets’ Antonio Cromartie used an expletive in referring to the Patriots’ Tom Brady. Welker told the Herald that it’s sometimes tough to keep from responding to opponents’ remarks. “It’s not always easy to keep a lid on it,” he said, “but, at the same time, there’s a greater goal, and that’s winning the game and playing good football. That’s what matters. All that other stuff doesn’t matter at the end of the day.”

Pay to play Vick signs endorsement contract isn’t the way in college McClatchy Newspapers

ROCK HILL, S.C. — Those vocal advocates of paying college athletes for their services can forget about it. It is not going to happen. At least that is the word from Mark Emmert, the NCAA’s new man in charge. “We’re not going to pay players to play sports,” Emmert said Friday prior to speaking at an athletics banquet to celebrate Winthrop University’s 125th anniversary. Emmert’s succinct comment was in response to the persistent chatter among fans that athletes are riding Mopeds to class and scraping by in tattered T-shirts while NCAA coaches and administrators are driving luxury cars and sipping Dom Perignon. It hardly seems fair, at least in the view of many fans. They claim the great imbalance could be solved by including athletes on the monthly payroll of every NCAA school. Of course, it is not that simple. First, most of those yelping the loudest want only football players to be paid because that sport generates the bulk of operating budgets throughout the NCAA. The problem with that line of thinking is NCAA schools would have to pay all athletes in men’s and women’s sports, which is not financially feasible. As Emmert pointed out, only 14 of the approximately 1,100 NCAA-member athletics departments broke even or turned a profit this past year. So, what to do to about the public perception that the fat cats are living the high life off the underlings? Emmert says it starts with getting the word out about how the NCAA serves athletes. That means renaming amateurism rather than redefining it. Emmert is doing his part on the former stance. Since taking over as NCAA president on Nov. 1, Emmert has made himself more visible than any of his predecessors. Now Emmert is out preaching the good word of the NCAA. He tells audiences that student-athletes graduate at a higher rate than student bodies. He says studentathletes are afforded golden opportunities to improve their lot in life through scholarships. “People fight like crazy to come to the United States to gain access to American universities because they are the best, and that includes athletes,” Emmert says. “There is no place to get the kind of athletic experience, without being a professional, to get you ready for that profession that you can get anywhere in the world except at an American university. “So, what does a young person have to do? Well, they have to go to school and get a good education. Then they get to enjoy all these amazing activities. Then, if they are talented enough, go out and make a fortune playing sports. That strikes me as a pretty good deal.” While that is all well and good, it does not address the problems the NCAA faces in defining amateurism. More and more, it seems, student-athletes are accepting under-the-table payouts that jeopardize their amateur status. Emmert prefers to use the term “preprofessional,” rather than amateur. He says the NCAA is in the business of preparing its student-athletes to be professionals, whether it be in the business world or in the sports world. Emmert says NCAA schools help prepare athletes for professional sports by providing top-level coaching, training and facilities. He says the NCAA needs to go further by educating athletes for a possible future in professional sports. To that end, the NCAA recently formed a committee to study and make recommendations for how better to prepare student-athletes for professional sports. Emmert is certain the committee will not recommend that college athletes be paid.

Welker was on the field as a punt returner on the Jets’ first series but sat out the Patriots first possession despite having led them with 86 catches this season. CBS said during the game broadcast that he was benched for his comments three days before the game. Asked at his postgame news conference why Welker was on the bench, Belichick didn’t comment. Welker told the Herald he didn’t want to go into details, but “I don’t think it’s worth putting coach in that situation,” he said.

COMMENTARY

By Ron Morris

FREE STATE HIGH

PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick is back pitching products. Vick signed his first endorsement contract on Tuesday since his release from prison. The Philadelphia Eagles’ Pro Bowl quarterback inked a two-year contract with Unequal Technologies, a provider of the football pads Vick wore most of last season. The deal will be announced Thursday. “We’re real excited about it,” chief executive officer Rob Vito said Tuesday. “Michael is good people. He paid his dues. President Obama reached out to him. He deserves an opportunity. This is what makes America so great. He’s moved forward. He’s a whole other person.” Vito said Vick is the company’s first corporate spokesman. Terms of his deal weren’t disclosed. But Vito said it’s a “sizable” contract. Vick was once the NFL’s highest-paid player, and he endorsed many products during his six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. But Vick lost everything following his 2007 arrest on dogfighting charges, for which he served 18 months in federal prison.

BRIEFLY UNC, Michigan St. close to aircraft carrier game CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina and Michigan State are closing in on a deal to play a basketball game on an aircraft carrier next season. Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said on his radio show Monday night that the teams hope to play on Veteran’s Day in San Diego on a carrier. Larry Gallo, a senior associate athletic director at UNC, said Tuesday that a contract isn’t in place yet. “We feel as though all systems are go, we’re just trying to finalize details,” Gallo said. “But until you have a contract, a deal hasn’t been consumated.”

Gallo said discussions also involve the U.S. government and a promoter. Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis declined to comment Tuesday, though he spoke in November about the school’s hope to play a game on a carrier. “It’s something that we continue to pursue with the Navy,” Hollis said. “From our perspective, it would be something where Americans could reach out to those who protect our borders and create a national celebration around it.” The Tar Heels lead the alltime series, 10-3. North Carolina beat Michigan State, 89-72, in the NCAA championship game two years ago.

Mizzou’s Ratliffe making impact COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — Ricardo Ratliffe was an eighthgrader before he started playing competitive basketball. He has sure beefed up No. 11 Missouri’s inside game as one of the top junior-college recruits. The junior is averaging 12.8 points and seven rebounds since the Tigers (17-3, 3-2 Big 12) began conference play. He’s been an intimidator at times with a pair of six-block games, the latest in Saturday night’s rout of Iowa State, to go with a feisty offensive game around the lane. “Other people noticed I was pretty good before I did,” Ratliffe said Monday. “Some of my coaches and friends started telling me I’m getting really good really fast.” The 6-foot-8, 240-pound Ratliffe was so good during his two-year stint at Central Florida Community College that his jersey now hangs from the rafters. He averaged 27.4 points and 11.3 rebounds as a sophomore and with 855 points broke his own school record. Rivals.com named Ratliffe the top junior-college recruit in the nation after his sophomore season. This fall, he was named the Big 12 preseason newcomer of the year. “I went from the best player in the country and now I’m just a good player in the country,” Ratliffe said. “Coach A (Missouri coach Mike Anderson) always tells me if I keep working hard then I can become the player I was at that level on this level.” At Missouri, Ratliffe is averaging just under 26 minutes in the Tigers’ up-tempo system.

Buffs: Threes, offensive boards key for KU By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

BOULDER, COLO. — The Colorado students were a bit more frenzied than usual during the Buffs’ 82-78 basketball loss to Kansas University on Tuesday night. “They always want Kansas, but especially right now that we’re leaving (for the Pac-12), it’s one of the last times we’re going to get them at home,” CU senior guard Marcus

Relphorde said. “We all really wanted this one.” Just 10 days after chanting, “We want Kansas!” in the closing seconds of a victory over Oklahoma State, the CU fans experienced familiar heartbreak Tuesday. Following the loss, the Buffs fell to 1-14 against the Jayhawks in Boulder during Big 12 play. “We lost to a helluva team,” CU coach Tad Boyle said. The Buffs lamented two

statistics: KU’s three-point shooting and offensive rebounds. The Jayhawks made 10 of 24 three-pointers (41.7 percent), which was their best longrange shooting effort in conference play. “We weren’t expecting them to come out hot like that,” CU senior guard Cory Higgins said. “We don’t feel like they really have a consistent, knockdown shooter outside of (Tyrel) Reed, but

everybody was hitting shots.” Boyle said allowing the Jayhawks open three-pointers was the result of Colorado’s trying to limit Marcus and Markieff Morris inside. “We don’t have one guy on our team that can guard those guys one-on-one,” Boyle said, “so we talked about having a team defensive effort, and I thought our guys did a great job of that. But what you give up sometimes is a three.” Though the Morris twins

combined for just 12 field-goal attempts, KU’s outside shooters were able to take advantage of the extra space. That included Brady Morningstar, who was 4-for-7 from three after making just one of his previous 15 three-pointers. “Our rotations were a little late sometimes,” Boyle said, “but again, I thought for the most part we guarded them pretty well. They executed awfully well.” Asked for the biggest differ-

ence in the game, Boyle didn’t hesitate. “Second-chance points, 21 to two,” Boyle said. “End of story.” The Jayhawks outrebounded the Buffs, 37-23, but more importantly, KU grabbed 12 offensive boards to CU’s four. KU also held CU without an offensive rebound in the first half. “If we rebound the ball today, I think we win that game,” Higgins said.

back. He said he didn’t want any more bad news (his grandmother died in December and his grandfather a couple of Sundays ago). She told him. He dropped down in tears. He felt he lost a big piece of everything in his life,” Morris said. The good news is, “He’s getting better,” Marcus Morris said. Robinson’s spirits were lifted a bit before he headed home. KU coach Bill Self showed him the tribute stitched onto the KU jerseys — the initials LR, in white, enclosed in a black circle. “He was pretty excited about it,” Self said. The Jayhawks, who have had heavy hearts, came out energized Tuesday, using a 144 run to build a 27-17 lead. KU led by 10 a few times, but never any more than that. “I don’t think we were the most energized group ever,” Self said. “I do think our attitude was good. Our heads were right. They know Thomas is gonna be OK. They’ll feel better after they go out there tomorrow with him and the funeral Thursday.” KU guards Josh Selby and Brady Morningstar busted slumps by scoring 15 and 11 the first half as KU built a 43-39 halftime margin. Morningstar finished with 14 points and Selby, who was slowed by an ankle sprain the second 20 minutes, 17 points. It marked Morningstar’s first double-digit scoring outing of the season. “He hadn’t made them in a while. It (shot) definitely looked better. He’s worked awfully hard,” Self said. “And it was good to see Josh be aggressive.” The Jayhawks led by 10 points with 11 minutes left and six with just :52 to play. But it

GARY BEDORE’S KU BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK Funeral services set Funeral services for Lisa Robinson, mother of Kansas University basketball player Thomas Robinson, will be held Thursday at the Antioch Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. (1105 50th Street NE). Visitation will begin at 10 a.m. (Eastern), and the funeral follows at 11. The KU basketball team will be attending the services. The family of Lisa Robinson is asking that, in lieu of flowers or other gifts, contributions be made to the Lisa Robinson Scholarship Fund, for the benefit of her daughter, Jayla, c/o SNR Denton, 1301 K Street NW, Suite 600, East Tower, Washington, DC 20005-3364. The Scholarship Fund will be administered by Christopher “Kit” Smith of SNR Denton US LLP and other fiduciaries selected by SNR Denton. Contributions to the Lisa Robinson Scholarship Fund are nondeductible for tax purposes. KU coach Bill Self is thrilled about the formation of the fund.

“Attorneys were working on it today. From what I understand, they have allowed Thomas to start a scholarship fund in Jayla’s name,” Self said. “The bank will be the executor. She’d be eligible for it when she reaches college age, which is cool. I’d hope they could get a lot of assistance.” KU officials stressed this fund is not just for KU fans to contribute to, but anybody touched by Robinson’s story. KU has been allowed by the NCAA to pay funeral expenses. “The NCAA has been unbelievable and responsive in a quick way,” Self said. “We understand they have rules. They are trying to make as many allowances as they can. We run everything through them. In his situation, the NCAA is looking out for the studentathlete’s welfare. I can’t say anything remotely negative about the way they’ve handled it.” Self said the roughest thing about this situation is, “There’s

nobody else Thomas has (besides 9-year-old sister),” Self said. “Our guys (players) know that. The whole deal Friday night (in meeting at Robinson’s apartment after he heard his mom died) was, the players said, ‘He doesn’t deserve this.’ “Of course, nobody does,” Self added. “Bad things happen in life.” Self said he didn’t know where Jayla would live. “Jayla is in second grade,” Self said. “We don’t know what’s going on. I’m sure there are some legal ramifications that have to take place. We are not saying what’s best for her. We don’t know what’s best for her. All I know is, I want Thomas to be comfortable (with) what is best for her. Thomas is all she knows. Hopefully we’ll get things worked out, and everybody can move forward in as positive way as possible.”

Selby smarting Josh Selby (17 points, five

assists, four rebounds) sprained an ankle late in the first half. “It’s cool,” Selby said after the game. He did not need to ice the ankle and was not limping as he exited the arena. Selby had contact with Robinson before the game. “This means a lot for Thomas. Before the game, he texted me and said, ‘Don’t worry about me. I’m good. Just make sure you get this win today.’ So we wanted to come out here and get this win for him.”

Slump busted Brady Morningstar (14 points) scored in double figures for the first time this season. “It’s been tough. I’ve never been through something like that,” said Morningstar, who hit five of nine shots, including four of seven threes. He’d made two of his last 19 threes KANSAS GUARD TYREL REED breaks through a trap by over 11 games.

with his talent, that’s better than playing with too much caution. “I was playing not to make mistakes,” Selby said of his rough patch. “Now, since I had that conversation with coach, everything is fine.” Selby made seven of 14 shots and three of six threepointers. In his previous six games, Selby had shot .304 overall and .227 on threepoint shots while trying to figure out how to make his talents blossom playing with so much talent on his side and so much on the other side. “It’s huge for him,” fellow slump-buster Brady Morningstar said of Selby’s big

game. “First half, he came out hot, and that’s what we needed. He hasn’t been that way for a while, and it’s great for him to get his stuff going because I know on Saturday (against Kansas State) we’re going to need him. He’s a big part of our team, and when he’s playing well, it makes everything else go a little easier.” It never comes as a shock when an athlete new to the college game slips into a funk. “He’s a freshman, he’s young,” Morningstar said. “You know he’s going to have games where he goes up and down, up and down, but the games we really need him in are games like this, where it’s close and he

comes out and gets confidence early because that gets him going for the rest of the game.” Kansas (19-1 overall, 4-1 in the Big 12) has 11 conference contests, as many as three Big 12 tournament tilts and as many as six NCAA Tournament games remaining. Will he get enough practice time and game action during that time to develop consistency? “For sure,” Morningstar said. “There’s definitely enough time left for anybody to become a consistent performer. And we’re going to need that out of him. I think he’s capable of that for sure.”

HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING

FSHS soph Wilson eager for dual By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

Don’t be fooled by the smiley face-printed pajama bottoms he wears during practice. On the mat, Free State High sophomore Spencer Wilson isn’t one to goof around. Wilson, the soft-spoken, second-ranked 160-pound wrestler in the state, will lead the Firebirds into their annual dual against Lawrence High — 6:30 tonight at FSHS — with an air of quiet confidence. “I thought it was going to be a lot harder,” said Wilson, who is currently in his first year at FSHS after transferring from LHS. The transition from JV to varsity has been smooth for Wilson, who holds a 14-2 record. It’s no overnight success FREE STATE either; Wilson spent all VS. summer putLAWRENCE ting in the work. What: Wrestling He com- dual peted in dozens of When: 6:30 tonight GrecoRoman and Where: Free State freestyle matches, and placed eighth at a national GrecoRoman tournament in Fargo, N.D. Wilson said another area of his development was learning the nuances of cutting weight and, as he put it, “still live.” Cutting weight isn’t always the most appetite-friendly experience, but it hasn’t been a problem for the sophomore, who dropped down from the 171-pound slot earlier this year. “It’s pretty much just don’t

FSHS coach Mike Gillman said he feels Wilson is a bit quicker and stronger at 160 than at 171. “We feel like (160) is a pretty good spot for him to compete for a state championship,” Gillman said. “He’s great at throwing people around,” LHS coach Pat Naughton said. “He definitely is exciting to watch.” That’s high praise, because Naughton knows talent when he sees it. Among the many skilled wrestlers at LHS, Naughton has the top-ranked 17 1pounder, and last year’s Class

6A state champion at 160 pounds — Reece WrightConklin — as the centerpiece of his squad. “(Wright-Conklin) kind of reminds me of Nolan Kellerman (who won back-to-back state titles for Lawrence in ’05-’06) a bit, except he’s a better wrestler,” Naughton said. “I don’t know if Nolan would admit it, but deep down he probably knows.” Naughton added that Wright-Conklin, a junior, still has plenty of room to grow, but his undefeated start to this season at 171 pounds and his all-around skill set drew similarly lofty praise from Gillman. “There’s some kids that c o m e a r o u n d (w h o) a r e once-in-a-lifetime,” Gillman said. “And Reece is one of those kids.” The respect for WrightConklin and the Lions, currently ranked No. 6 in Class

6A by the Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association, was evident, but Gillman said his team has a “bring it on” attitude for anyone standing on the opposite side of the mat. A clash at 17 1 pounds between former teammates would have been one of the evening’s highlights had Wilson not moved down a weight class earlier this year. Still, there is a slight chance two of the city’s premier wrestling talents could square off tonight. “What the word is, over at Lawrence High is they’re dropping Reece to 160,” Gillman said. “That’s kind of been the word going around. “We’ve got Spencer there, so if he wants to wrestle at 160, that’s fine with us.” Wilson, too, couldn’t hide the excitement when asked of a potential matchup with Wright-Conklin. “That’d be fun,” he said, grinning widely.

Baldwin girls wallop Wellsville, 67-33 Girls Baldwin 67, Wellsville 33 WELLSVILLE — For the 21st consecutive year, Baldwin High’s girls basketball team won its opening-round game of the Top Gun Tournament. The Bulldogs sank 10 threepointers and cruised to a victory over Top Gun host Wellsville. Four Bulldogs scored in double f igures. Allison Howard led the team with 16 points. Baldwin will play Bonner Springs at 5:15 p.m. Thursday in the tournament’s semifinals.

guard Angel Goodrich said. “Big 12 players are always strong and quick. Once you get into Big 12 play, everyone knows who you are and what you are going to do.” That goes double for Missouri, which comes into tonight’s game looking for a spark to revive its season. The Tigers are just 9-10 and also have started off 1-4 in the Big 12. Offensively, MU is led by a couple of upperclassmen. Senior guard RaeShara Brown averages 16.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. She also leads the team with

Carolyn Davis, KU’s leading scorer this season (18 ppg), poured in 20 points and nine rebounds in that one. The Jayhawks lead the alltime series, 42-36, and KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said an intense battle with the Tigers might be just what her team needs to get back on track. “It’s a big week for us,” said Henrickson, whose squad will play at Kansas State on Saturday. “We need to learn and grow from those good stretches we had (against Oklahoma) because that’s how you get better. (Missouri) will be excited to play us, and we’ll be excited to play them.”

FREE STATE JUNIOR GEORGI FUNTAROV (11) SHOOTS the game-winning shot with only seconds remaining. The shot gave Free State a 61-60 victory over Lawrence High on Tuesday at LHS.

the rim for too long, drawing a technical foul and the ire of Law. “I need to learn some rules in the U.S.A.,” said Funtarov, a transfer student from Bulgaria. “It’s a little bit different in Europe.” At halftime, Law let Funtarov know that he was upset with the theatrics after the play. The dunk gave Free State a two-point lead late in the half, but Lawrence ended the half with a 8-2 run, capped by an Anthony Buffalomeat three-pointer at the buzzer. Law was especially frustrated because it swung the momentum back to Lawrence, which took a 33-29 lead into the break. “George got a tongue-lashing at halftime like he hasn’t gotten the whole time he’s been here,” Law said. “We’ve probably been a little too generous with him, truth be told. He’s got a lot of ability, but he’s used to getting away with a lot of things.” Law, who had declined to comment on his team Monday in order to keep plans under wraps, said Funtarov learned from the mistake and played a good second half. Lawrence coach Mike Lewis was proud of his team’s effort, especially with how his players pushed the ball right back at Free State after Funtarov’s go-ahead goal. “Punch for punch, we were there. We just had that ball sit on the rim at the end, and it’s gut-wrenching,” Lewis said.

Shooting: Free State 23-45 (51.1 percent); Lawrence 23-49 (46.9 percent). Turnovers: Free State 12, Lawrence 14.

The Lions (4-9) took a 6059 lead with 18 seconds left on a Pritchard three-pointer from the left wing. Free State (7-5) called a timeout to set up its final play. Lewis said the Lions won’t forget the loss, or the way they lost. “I think everybody will have a little something in their back pocket, or on their mantle in their bedroom,” Lewis said, “a little something there motivating them for that end-of-the-season game.” Both coaches loved the environment, in which both student sections were rowdy from the opening tip. Law challenged the Free State fanbase also to come out to games when the Firebirds aren’t playing the Lions. Still, it was clear Law was thrilled with his players’ performance. “That’s a gut check, and we got a win, and in the end that’s all that matters,” Law said.

Soft, hard white wheats used differently in baking Q:

What is white wheat? Does it have the same nutritional value as the dark brown?

Actually, there are two types of white wheat — hard white and soft white. Soft white wheat is grown in the Pacific Northwest as well as California, Idaho and Montana. Hard white wheat is relatively new on the agricultural scene. In the late 1960s, researchers at Kansas State University discovered that Kansas had a favorable growing environment for white wheat when compared with other countries around the world. Since 1985, KSU breeding program have worked steadily to develop white wheat selections. Hard white wheat was added as a U.S. market class in 1990. Hard-white-producing states include Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Oregon and California. The differences between the two are found mainly in the end products for which they are used. Soft white has a lower protein level than hard white. Hard white wheat can be used for the same products

as hard red wheat. Bakers like it because HWs are excellent for use in the bread-making industry. Because it has a naturally sweeter flavor, bakers can use less sweeteners. Hard white wheat is a superior ingredient for all yeast breads, artisan breads, Asian noodles, tortillas, pizza crusts, breadsticks, flatbreads, quick breads and more. Soft white wheat is used mainly for bakery products other than bread. Examples include pastries, cakes and cookies. It is also used for cereals, flat breads and crackers. Both white wheat classes make quality 100 percent whole-wheat products. White wheat and red wheat are nutritionally equivalent. Levels of protein and other nutrients in all wheats vary because of genetic varieties and growing conditions. The differences between red wheat and white wheat are no greater than those between various red wheats today. White wheat contains the same healthy levels of whole grain fiber that red wheat does but does not have as strong a flavor and dark color. White wheat is actually golden in color, tastes

sweeter and is lighter than its hard red wheat cousins. Even though you can use white whole wheat flour in place of regular wholewheat flour in your recipes, here’s a couple of recipes that you may want to try. The first one was featured in the Kansas Wheat Commission 2010 Recipe Book (now available free in our office or can be downloaded by going to our website at www.douglas.ksu.edu ).

WHITE WHOLE WHEAT CARROT CAKE 1/2 cup vegetable oil 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs, beaten 1/2 cup water 2/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder 2 cups shredded carrots 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained, (no sugar added)

Salmon gains ground with an Asian plum sauce CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10B

quick Monday night dinner. My sister insists that cooking them on the stovetop in cast iron is the best way to go, which meant I did have to add a little oil to the process, but other than that, it was a very health-conscious meal. I remembered back in my early cooking days I had stumbled upon a plum sauce recipe, and while I couldn’t find said recipe anymore, I remembered the basics and what I didn’t remember, I made up. You see, if you put a fancy sauce next to any dish, I’ll feel a lot more excited about it. Plain salmon was hard to get jazzed about, but for salmon with Asian plum sauce, I could get out the tap shoes. So first I set some basmati rice on to cook, and then I started my sauce.

SALMON WITH ASIAN PLUM SAUCE 1 cup plum jam 1 teaspoon sesame oil 2 teaspoon soy sauce

2 tablespoon brown sugar 1 teaspoon sriracha 1/2 cup water 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 1 teaspoon ginger 1 clove garlic, minced

Put it all in a small saucepan and stir it up until the jam is smooth, and heat over medium-low heat until you’re ready to serve. Stir it occasionally. Then I started some fresh broccoli in the steamer (when it’s done, sprinkle with lemon pepper and voila! My favorite vegetable side dish — no lie). Meanwhile heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in the cast iron skillet on high heat. Sprinkle the salmon fillets with kosher salt, pepper and a tiny dusting of garlic powder. When the oil is super-hot, turn it down to medium-high, and put the fillets in, skin side down. Cook for one minute, flip, and scrape the skin off with a spatula. Discard. Continue to cook the salmon for at least three minutes on that side, then flip again for another three minutes. I like salmon a little rare, with a crispy crust on top and bottom. If this doesn’t cook

enough for your standards, you can turn down the heat for a few more minutes, or you can move them to the microwave for 30 seconds in order to avoid burning the outsides. ●

This whole meal took about 20 minutes from start to finish, and that, my friends, is what I’m talking about. Mr. Meat and Potatoes could fill up on a big hunk of meaty fish, and eat all the rice he wanted, and I could eat my more petite fillet, go easy on the sweet sauce, have only a half a cup of rice, and extra broccoli. If this is what dieting feels like, I can totally handle it. I’m sure, sooner or later, he’s going to bust out a frozen pizza in front of me, and I’m going to sit there and weep while he eats the whole thing, but for now, I’ll continue to pry him with plum sauce and seduce him with salmon. ● Read more Flying Fork

Fava beans star in accidentally tasty dish By J.M. Hirsch Associated Press Writer

It was a case of mistaken identity. I was at the freezer case and in a hurry. And instead of grabbing the shelled edamame I wanted, I got the fava beans. I didn’t notice until I was home. Despite the confusion, I plowed ahead with my plan to cover the bottom of a Dutch oven with garlic cloves and edamame, splash in some white wine, olive oil and seasonings, set a chicken over it, then pop it in to roast while I did other things. Except I used the favas. And it was brilliant. The fava beans took on rich, savory flavors from the chicken and a gentle sweetness from the wine. The first night I ate them as is; the second night I pureed the favas into a hummus-like spread that was beyond delicious. So I was determined to turn this accident into a winner of a recipe. For no particular reason I decided to change the meat. The chicken was great, but a second attempt with pork tenderloins turned out even better. Either works with this recipe, though you will need to

adjust the cooking time for the chicken. If you can’t find frozen fava beans (check near the frozen Hispanic foods if they aren’t alongside the other frozen veggies), you also can use lima beans or edamame. The longer you can marinate the pork, the better. If possible, get it ready the night before or the morning of the day you plan to make it.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED FAVA BEANS For the pork: 1/4 cup olive oil 1/3 cup cider vinegar or white balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 2 1/4 pounds pork tenderloin For the favas and pork: 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for hummus (extra is optional) 1-pound bag frozen fava beans 1 cup white wine 1 cup chicken broth 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 3 cloves garlic, minced

In a large zip-close plastic bag, combine the olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and rosemary. Mix well, then add the pork, turning to coat all sides.

Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. When ready to cook, heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium Dutch oven or large, oven-safe saute pan, heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high. Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and add to the pot. Sear until brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the tenderloins to a plate. Add the fava beans, wine, broth, salt, pepper and garlic to the pan. Toss well. Set the tenderloins over the favas. Cover the pot and roast for 25 minutes, or until the pork reaches 145 degrees at the center. Remove the pot from the oven, transfer the pork to a plate, cover with foil and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, set the pot of favas over medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has almost entirely evaporated. To serve, cut the pork into thin slices. The fava beans can be served as is alongside the pork, or turned into a hummus and served over it. To make a hummus, transfer the fava beans to a food processor. Pulse until smooth, adding olive oil as needed to get desired texture. Serves 6.

1/2 cup raisins 2 1/4 cups white whole-wheat flour 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup chopped English walnuts, optional Whipped topping, for garnish

Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack. To serve, cut cake and divide slices among serving plates. Top each slice with dollop of whipped topping. Makes 12 servings.

Flank steaks: Marinate, stuff and roll By Jim Romanoff Associated Press Writer

These corn- and red pepper-stuffed flank steak pinwheels are so colorful they look more suited to July than January. And the flavor screams backyard barbecue even though you’ll never have to step outside to make them. Flank steak is a wonderfully flavorful cut with little waste on it — a 1 1/2-pound steak will easily feed four to six people. Plus, because it is a thin cut it is an excellent candidate for quick marinades that will fully penetrate. Serve these pinwheels with a mixed green salad and some warm tortillas.

FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS For the marinade: 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons tequila 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 clove garlic, chopped 1 1/2-pounds flank steak For the steak: 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided 1 small red bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup) 1 small red onion, diced 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and finely sliced 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Check out early Best of Lawrence results Larry Crowe/AP Photo

CORN- AND RED PEPPER-STUFFED FLANK STEAK PINWHEELS 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste Ground black pepper, to taste

In a large bowl, mix together the lime juice, tequila, salt, black pepper and garlic. Set aside. On a work surface, cover the flank steak with plastic wrap. Pound it with a skillet or rolling pin to flatten it into an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Add the steak to the marinade, turn to coat, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the red pepper, onion, scallions and jalapeno. Saute until the peppers begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly colored, about another 30 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the bread-

crumbs, corn, cilantro, cumin and salt. Let cool completely. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Remove the steak from the marinade. Arrange flat on the work surface. Spread the cooled pepper mixture evenly over the steak. Starting with a wide edge, roll the steak and stuffing up together. Use 7 lengths of kitchen twine to tie the roll firmly around the center at even intervals. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high. Add the steak roll and sear until browned on all sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until it reaches 130 degrees at the center. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing into 8 rounds and serving. Serves 4.

WINTER SALADS can be tasteful and healthful, with just a few ingredients. This Butternut Squash and Kale Salad mixes a seasonal ingredient with a green that works well cooked. See the recipe on page 9B.

Seasonal

salads ————

Eat fresh, even on the chilliest days BY SARAH HENNING

e’re still months — months! — away from the crisp, fresh, early greens of spring. Depressing, huh? But if you’ve had a hankering for salad, never fear. There is such a thing as winter salad. In fact, there are several examples of ways to enjoy salad in the winter without feeling like everything you’re eating is coming from the Southern Hemisphere — no offense to Chile and New Zealand, of course. What makes a winter salad? Well, in our humble estimation, a winter salad can be a number of different things alone or in combination: ● It can be warm ● It can be made with seasonal ingredients ● It can be hearty ● It can be all of the above! Because we’re far from the days of crisp greens and snappy toppings, many of our chosen recipes have a cooked or wilted element to them. And many are twists on traditional hearty salads like potato and pasta

HORSERADISH DILL POTATO SALAD

WARM GOAT CHEESE AND POTATO SALAD WITH ROASTED PINE NUTS. See recipe, page 9B. (No, those salads aren’t just for summer barbecues!). But what they have in common is that they aren’t what you’d typically eat in July. Sound good? We thought so. So, behold, salads you can sink your teeth into, even if they’re still chattering from brisk winter air. — Staff writer Sarah Henning can be reached at 8327187.

1 pound baby white potatoes 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons plain yogurt 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon grated horseradish 2 tablespoons dill minced 1 large carrot 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

In a microwave-safe bowl combine the potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces, and the water and microwave the potatoes, covered with microwavesafe plastic wrap, at high power (100 percent) for 6 to 8 minutes, or until they are tender. Let the potatoes stand, covered, for 3 minutes, drain them, and let them cool completely. In a bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, vinegar, horseradish, dill and salt and pepper to taste, add the carrot, onion and potatoes, and toss the salad until it is combined well.

Saucy salmon saves a marriage

I’m

trying to sort of, kind of, a little bit, in a way, diet. Which isn’t easy when you live in a house with Mr. Meat and Potatoes, who can eat four frozen pizzas a night and not gain a pound, and who married you primarily for your ability to make giant cheesy lasagnas with Italian sausage and garlic bread smeared with half a stick of butter. What? I’m trying hard to concoct nightly meals that live up to both of our needs, which is no small feat. My husband slings beer all day and is ravenous when he walks in the door. He sits down at the table with a fork and a steak knife and shouts “MEEEAAAAT” until I flop a slab of something hot and brown in front of him. I mean, that’s what it seems like in my head. More accurately, he wanders around aimlessly, opening the refrigerator door and standing behind me at the stove, anxiously, trying not to eat handful after handful of spicy Doritos because he knows I will scream at him to stop spoiling his dinner, because yes, I have turned

“THE FLYING FORK”

a blog by Megan Stuke into my mother. What I need to make on a weeknight needs to be fast, filling enough for my bottomless pit of a husband and light enough for me to potentially lose a pound or two in 2011. As a result, we’ve been eating a lot of things from the sea. I can make a shrimp pad thai in about nine minutes flat, go easy on the noodles for my part, and load him up with the carbohydrates he so painfully needs. I’ve also been looking for ways to dress up the old salmon fillet. I bought a huge one for him on sale, and myself a more reasonable portion, and cooked them up for a Please see SALMON, page 8B

Megan Stuke/Special to the Journal-World

THE SALMON in this photo is slightly undercooked. In my quest to not overcook it, I removed it from the heat too soon. Thirty seconds in the microwave, and it was perfection. Don’t worry — microwaving salmon is actually a good method — just ask Alton Brown. However, I failed to snap another photo, because someone was banging forks on the table in the other room, so I just had to get on with dinner.

CALL FOR SUPER RECIPES, SECRET INGREDIENTS In honor of this year’s Super Bowl, we want to know your super recipes for super difficult ingredients. We’re thinking “Iron Chef”-worthy uses of strange stuff. Do you have a dip that’s always a hit with guests, even if they have no idea that creaminess comes from zucchini? How about a wings recipe where that special flavor comes from cinnamon? Or a dessert given its crunch by bits of banana chips? Whatever your secret weapon, we want to hear about it for our Super Duper Super Bowl Super Food Challenge. Send your recipes, along with your name, address and phone number to sarah@lawrence.com, or swing by the News Center at 645 N.H. We’ll need your recipes by noon Jan. 28.

Son’s orientation shouldn’t define his lifestyle behave like wild animals let loose. Most kids settle down eventually, and the hope is that they don’t do any permanent damage in the interim. Please contact PFLAG (pflag.org) for some emotional support and practical suggestions.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Loving and Missing all at the Same Time,” whose daughter is an inconsiderate slob. When my kids were in anniesmailbox@creators.com high school, I got tired of their entation if he would live a stuff scattered all over the moral lifestyle. So far, he has house. I said if I found anything not tested positive for HIV, lying around when I got up in although that is still a worry. We have told him we will not pay any more medical bills, since we can’t afford it. From the horrible way he treats us, I regret that we were so kind to him over the summer. Counseling didn’t help him see the error of his ways. He is a bad influence on his little sister. How should we handle this? — Heartbroken Parents

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, the makers of “Project Runway” must feel flattered indeed. But the new series “Face Off” (9 p.m., Syfy) is not so much imitation as mutation. Substitute the world of horror-movie makeup and special effects for runway glamour and high fashion and you have “Face Off.” Actress McKenzie Westmore hosts. She’s not only poised and attractive but comes from one of the grand families of movie and television special effects. Her dad was the makeup artist for “Star Trek.” While Westmore plays the Heidi Klum role, the panel of judges includes Ve Neill, who won an Oscar for “Pirates of the Caribbean,” Glenn Hetrick (”Heroes”) and Patrick Tatopoulos (”I Am Legend”). The dozen competitors bring both ingenuity and a geeky enthusiasm. If you can’t handle folks with tattoos and body piercings, don’t watch “Face Off.” Two of the women sport the same retro Bettie Page hair bob, and the judges have the blustering exactitude of the Comic Book Guy on “The Simpsons.” There’s something endearingly nerdy about the whole affair. You don’t have to love the comicbook/horror-movie aesthetic to appreciate the level of skill and hard work on display here. Every week brings new challenges, from creating an original horror villain to crafting an original zombie. And if you thought the “Runway” models had it hard, try breathing under layers of latex! Look for special guest judges, including director Sean Cunningham (”Friday the 13th) — and with judging comes judgment and an elimination every week. ● Part of the agony of watching a promising show die an early death is the knowledge that all too often the truly undeserving goes on and on and on. In this spirit, please note that tonight marks the 200th episode of “Dog the Bounty Hunter“ (7 p.m. and 8 p.m., A&E). ● ”Sons of Guns“ (8 p.m., Discovery) showcases a Louisiana gun shop where experts bring antique weapons back into service.

Dear Annie: Our son, “Colin,” is 19 years old and a sophomore in college. He was always helpful and a good student. Last spring, Colin became rude and condescending. We found out he was living with a 33-year-old man who is infected with HIV. This man was controlling and used sexual blackmail to keep Colin in line. We finally got our son back home, but it was a long, difficult summer. When Colin announced that he was gay, my husband and I sought advice from several clergy. Most of them said to turn our backs on him until he asked for our forgiveness for living sinfully. We decided instead to take the advice of our priest, who said to accept his orientation, hard as that has been. All we’ve asked of Colin is that he do well in school, get a job to help pay off the legal bills that resulted from extricating him from his previous relationship and not be sexually promiscuous. Colin contracted various STDs and should avoid sexual contact anyway. Our requests seemed reasonable to us. Unfortunately, when Colin returned to school, he became sexually involved with at least two different men and even asked to bring one home for the holidays. Of course, we said no.

BRIEFLY 6 seeking seats on Eudora school board Five candidates are competing for four available seats on the Eudora school board, while a sixth candidate is the sole person in line to fill an unexpired term. As Tuesday’s noon filing deadline passed at the Douglas County Courthouse, the six area residents had paid their $5 filing fees for the April 5 general election. Seeking full, four-year terms on the seven-member board: ● Daniel Dickerson, 1996 N. 1250 Road. ● Bryan Maring, 230 W. 27th St. ● Mark Chrislip, 1117 E. 2135 Road. ● Belinda Rehmer, 1017 Pine St. ● Joe Pyle, 1232 E. 2114 Road. Chrislip, Rehmer and Pyle are incumbents. Kenneth Massey is not seeking re-election. Seeking to fill the unexpired term is Joseph Hurla, 1303 Greenbrier Drive. Nancy Jackson — appointed to the board after Keith Noland resigned — is not seeking election. Winners in the April 5 general election will be scheduled to take office July 1.

6 running for 3 spots on Eudora City Council Six people will compete for three Eudora City Council positions this spring. Two council members and the Eudora mayor are in the middle of their terms, and their seats are not up for election. Ruth Hughes, Maria Nelson and Jeff Peterson are the council members whose terms are expiring. Hughes and Nelson filed for re-election. They were joined by Kenneth Massey, Jerry Trober Sr., John Fiore and Chris Fiedler. Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said there would not be a primary. Eudora falls under a rule that, in this case, says 10 people would have to file for a primary to be needed. Lawrence follows a different rule for determining when a primary is necessary. The general election is April 5.

Government award nominees sought The League of Women Voters of Lawrence/Douglas County is seeking nominations for the 12th annual Helen Fluker Open and Accessible Government Award.

Ten candidates will vie for four available seats on the Lawrence school board. As Tuesday’s noon filing deadline passed at the Douglas County Courthouse, 10 had paid their $5 filing fees to land spots on the ballot for the April 5 general election.

Other candidates are Marlene Merrill, a retired educator and incumbent board member; Keith Diaz Moore, an associate professor and associate dean of graduate studies in the School of Architecture, Design and Planning at KU; Tyler Palmer, a network engineer at Lawrence Memorial Hospital; Randy Masten, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel; and Bill Roth, a retired engineer. They are among candidates seeking seats now occupied by Mary Loveland, Merrill, Rich Minder and Scott Morgan. Board members will take office July 1 for four-year terms. — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be reached at 832-7188.

Superintendent Architect files to ‘enliven the debate’ of McLouth district headed to Holcomb LAWRENCE CITY COMMISSION

By Chad Lawhorn

clawhorn@ljworld.com

A Lawrence architect who has been an advocate in the Centennial neighborhood became the fifth and final candidate for April’s Lawrence City Commission elections. Sven Alstrom filed just minutes before the noon deadline on Tuesday. Alstrom said he plans to run a campaign that focuses on supporting more locally owned business and making City Hall a friendly place for neighborhoods. But he also said the small field of candidates for the City Commission played a role in his decision. “I just wanted to do something to enliven the debate a bit,” said Alstrom, who is a former member of the city’s Historic Resources Commission. Issues that he plans to focus on during the campaign include: ● A greater economic development focus on supporting existing businesses.

Alstrom said the idea has been dubbed “economic gardening” in other communities. “It basically means growing the Alstrom businesses that we have,” Alstrom said. ● Guarding against urban sprawl. Alstrom said he aligns himself with many of the views presented by Kirk McClure, a Kansas University professor in urban planning who says the city’s housing and retail markets have become overbuilt. ● Support for environmental sustainability efforts. Alstrom said the city and county’s addition of a sustainability coordinator position has been an important step forward for the community. Alstrom, 59, has lived in Lawrence the past eight years. He owns and operates a Lawrence-based architecture practice, Ecological Architecture, that does

design work for residential, remodels and historic preservation projects. He served on the city’s Historic Resources from 2004 to 2007 and has been an active member of the Centennial Neighborhood Association, which has voiced concerns about several improvements the school district undertook at Lawrence High School, 1901 La. Three at-large seats are up for election on the five member City Commission. The four other candidates are: Hugh Carter, a financial planner and former LawrenceDouglas County Planning Commissioner; incumbent Commissioner Mike Dever, who owns a Lawrence environmental consulting firm; Mike Machell, a human resources manager and chair of the city’s Library Board; and Bob Schumm, a downtown restaurant owner and former mayor and city commissioner.

● Consumer confidence hit an eight-month high in January. The increase suggests the rising spirits that fueled a holiday shopping boom are carrying over into the new year as people feel better about the job market. The Conference Board said Tuesday its Consumer Confidence Index climbed to 60.6 this month from 53.3 in December. The January improvement was better than expected.

Associated Press Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — TransCanada Corp. said Tuesday that it expects to see an increase in prices for Canadian heavy crude oil in the Midwest if its Keystone XL pipeline is approved to move oil from Canada down through several states to the Gulf of Mexico. That mirrors a forecast in a report that TransCanada presented to Canada’s National Energy Board in 2009 in which the Calgary-based company said existing markets for Canadian crude are oversupplied, which has led to lower prices — especially in its Midwest region. That report also said those lower prices would likely end if Keystone XL begins transporting about 500,000 barrels of crude a day to the Gulf Coast. Canadian crude prices have been weak because of a glut to the large Gulf Coast market, the company said. The proposed Keystone pipeline

In October, members of the McLouth school board agreed that they would not extend her contract; by the end of the month, Rush had submitted her resignation, effective at the end of the academic year. The McLouth school board is interviewing applicants, and school officials have said they could have a new superintendent selected by the end of this week. — Shawn Linenberger, news editor at The Mirror newspaper in Tonganoxie, can be reached at 913-845-2222.

Keystone XL could increase Canadian crude prices in Midwest By Maria Sudekum Fisher

McLouth school Superintendent Jean Rush has been hired to lead a district near Garden City. Rush has been hired as superintendent in Holcomb, a school official there said Tuesday. She agreed to a twoyear contract, which starts July 1 and includes an annual salary of $105,000. She also is to receive $5,160 annually in health insurance benefits and a one-time moving expense stipend of $9,000. The Holcomb school board approved her as its new superintendent during a special meeting Friday, the official said.

would help boost the market price of Canadian crude by reducing the oversupply in the Midwest region. Canadian oil producers could see a price increase of at least $3 a barrel if Keystone XL begins moving oil to the U.S. Gulf Coast in 2013, according to the report. TransCanada spokesman Terry Cunha said Tuesday that the $3-a-barrel increase is still expected. He said it is focused on several states in TransCanada’s Midwest region, where about 400,000 barrels a day are currently being shipped on a sister Keystone pipeline. Those states are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The proposed 1,980-milelong Keystone XL pipeline, which is designed to move crude from Alberta’s oil sands to the Gulf Coast, still requires a permit from the State Department because it would cross the U.S.-Canada border.

Watershed district files petition against ball field owners near Lake Alvamar By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Members of the regional watershed district are asking a judge to rule in their favor in a dispute with a landowner over expansion of a dam in southwestern Lawrence near Lake Alvamar. The Wakarusa Watershed Joint District No. 35 on Jan. 13 filed a petition in Douglas County District Court that argues the district is not required to pay owners of Sport 2 Sport One LLC to remove two baseball fields t h a t a re n e a r t h e d a m , which is west of Clinton Pa rk way a n d Wa k a r u s a Drive. Topeka attorney John Hamilton said development in the area in recent decades means the dam, also known as the Yankee Tank Dam, needs to be expanded to meet state requirements to guard against a major flood. Repairs include making the dam several feet taller and expanding the foot of the dam, which would move the dam into the area the fields now occupy. Hamilton said the expansion would not affect the neighboring indoor tennis center owned by Kansas Athletics Inc. The watershed district argues that it was granted an easement on the property in 1967 and that although baseball fields were constructed within the easement, the district had a right to use the easement to “maintain, inspect and repair the dam.” According to the petition, the owners of Sport 2 S p o r t h ave d e c l i n e d t o

Repairs include making the dam several feet taller and expanding the foot of the dam, which would move the dam into the area the fields now occupy. remove the f ields unless the district were to reimburse them for the value of the structures, fixtures and improvements. An attorney for Roger Morningstar, managing partner of Sport 2 Sport, declined comment Tuesday. His side has not yet filed a response to the district’s petition in the case. Hamilton said the district’s members are asking a judge to rule in their favor in the dispute because they have an August deadline to be able to get federal funding for the project. A coalition that includes local, state and federal governments, the watershed district and neighboring property owners have agreed to contribute funds for the estimated $1.8 million dam project to prevent damage to Kansas Highway 10 and Clinton Parkway during a major flood. — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144.
