Opposition increases to tax plan, KPERS changes

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Brownback

TOPEKA — Pushback increased Tuesday against two major initiatives sought by Gov. Sam Brownback on taxes and public pensions.

Kansans for Quality Com-

munities called Brownback’s plan to phase out the state income tax and limit state spending “radical and troubling.”

The coalition of educators, religious groups, advocates for those with disabilities and others said Brownback’s plan would shift the tax bur-

den onto the poor and starve services of needed funds.

“We urge more careful attention be given to tax policy,” said Shannon Jones of the Statewide Independent Living Council of Kansas.

“We call for fairness and equity for all Kansans.”

Brownback’s tax plan was

getting kicked off before the House Taxation Committee after a presentation from Jonathan Williams, director of the tax and fiscal policy task force for the American Legislative Exchange Council.

Like ALEC, Brownback has called for reductions in

The grass will always be greener on the other side of at least one Lawrence fence.

Lawrence city commissioners went against a staff recommendation and agreed on Tuesday to “grandfather in” more than 20,000 square feet of artificial turf that was installed contrary to city code at a west Lawrence apartment complex.

CITY On a 4-1 vote, city commis- COMMISSION sioners said a development group led by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel could keep the synthetic turf that was installed at the Tuckaway Apartments at Frontier, which is near Sixth and Frontier.

“I dislike the turf but not enough to warrant pulling it all off of this site,” said Mayor Aron Cromwell. “I think it was overused at this site. But to pull it all off, what a waste that would be.”

Chancellor outlines retention, graduation goals

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little Tuesday outlined a plan to increase retention and graduation rates and research funding.

Gray-Little said KU wants to increase the first-to-second year retention rate of students from 79 percent to 90 percent.

She said she wants at least 70 percent of freshmen to have graduated within six

years.

That rate is now 61 percent.

“Achieving these goals will put us in line with our aspirational peers around the nation,” she told Gray-Little the House Education Budget Committee.

To reach these rates, the school will use an early intervention program for students who fall behind. And KU is revising its core cur-

Having a special, albeit largely mysterious, story seems to have paid off in the case of a diamond discovered in a Shawnee Salvation Army kettle.

A ring featuring the diamond as its centerpiece sold Tuesday on eBay for $6,325, which is more than twice its retail value of $3,000. The money will benefit The Salvation Army.

Salvation Army volunteers found the .82-carat diamond, wrapped in paper, Nov. 30 while counting contents of the red kettle from the Shawnee Walmart that day. Meierotto Midwest Jewelers of Kansas City, Mo., appraised the European-cut diamond, estimated to be about 100 years old, and donated a ring setting so it could be auctioned ready-to-wear.

The weeklong auction ended at 10:15 a.m. The ring’s new owner is an unknown buyer with a shipping address in Indiana, according to The Salvation Army.

“What a wonderful ending to the story of this mystery diamond,” Major Charles Smith, divisional commander of The Salvation Army in Kansas City, said in a news release. “We hope it brings a lifetime of happiness to the person who purchased it.”

To enhance recruitment of students, KU also will start offering a new four-year renewable scholarship this fall. The scholarships will be based on academic performance.

Bill would require contraception info be given to rape victims

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Medical facilities that provide care to rape victims would be required to give information about the availability of emergency contraception under a bill considered Tuesday by legislators.

Amber Versola, with the Kansas City metro chapter of the National Organization for Women, said providing information about emergency contraception would prevent the additional trauma to rape victims of a possible pregnancy.

Versola, a rape victim herself 14 years ago when she was 16, said that during her examination, nurses warned her about the possibility of having contracted a sexually transmitted disease but not about pregnancy.

She said it was her mother who asked if there was anything to take to avoid pregnancy.

“She was given a pre-

Turf CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Commissioners, though, tried to send a message that they didn’t want to see much more of the artificial turf — either in commercial applications or at private residences. Commissioners directed staff members to craft an ordinance that would require any installation of artificial turf to receive city approval, with a notation that it likely would be approved only in “limited situations.”

City commissioners on Tuesday were told the installation of the synthetic turf at Tuckaway at Frontier violated the city’s commercial landscape code. Commissioners also were told the developers were notified by city inspectors the artificial turf was not an approved use, but installation of the material continued at the site with the hope the city would change the rules at a future date to allow it.

Jane Eldredge, a Lawrence attorney for the development group, said her clients believed the synthetic turf was allowed at the time they purchased the material. That was in part because the city had approved the use of the turf at the Oread hotel, a project also built by a group led by Fritzel.

City planners, though, said that the Oread turf was approved as a method of “alternative compliance” to the city’s landscape code, and that it should have been clear the approval at the Oread didn’t clear the way for the product at Tuckaway at Frontier.

City commissioners did express some concern about whether the developer had willfully ignored a city ordinance, but ultimately commissioners said they weren’t willing to or-

der the 22,232 square feet of turf to be torn up.

“I’ve heard people say that it is easier in this town to ask for forgiveness instead of permission,” City Commissioner Mike Dever said. “If that is the case, we need to change that mentality. But tearing up all this material seems like a waste of resources and energy.

That is not being good environmental stewards.”

Commissioners did hear from one resident of the apartment complex and two neighbors who said the artificial turf had improved the appearance of the property, which previously was the Boardwalk Apartments, the site of a deadly 2005 fire.

Commissioner Bob Schumm cast the lone vote against providing the turf grandfather status.

Schumm said he thought the commission’s action likely would be interpreted as setting a precedent for more artificial turf in commercial settings.

Staff members had proposed a lengthy set of regulations spelling out situations where artificial turf could be used in the future. But commissioners did not adopt those regulations. Instead they opted to craft a simple ordinance that said all future artificial turf installations, including at single-family homes, would have to receive special approval from the City Commission.

In other news, commissioners unanimously agreed to draft agreements with organizations that want to use four pieces of city-owned property to serve as community gardens or vegetable farms.

The sites are part of the city’s previously approved Common Ground program, which seeks to promote urban agriculture.

decrease to 5.7 percent in 2013.

Brownback has said the plan will spur economic activity, moving Kansas “ever closer to the pro-growth states with no state income taxes, which are among the country’s strongest economic performers.”

But Mark Desetti, a lobbyist for the Kansas National Education Association and member of Kansans for Quality Communities, said Kansas schools, roads and social services are in good shape because of the state’s balanced tax approach of income, sales and property taxes.

He touted Romney’s business experience, saying he would be best fit to lead in a tough economic climate, and Romney’s stint as a GOP governor in liberal-leaning Massachusetts, likening the experience to his own governorship in Minnesota, which hasn’t supported a Republican presidential candidate since Richard Nixon in 1972.

But even some staunch Republicans in the audience voiced concerns about Romney’s status as a frontrunner.

“I don’t see the vision. I don’t see where he wants to take us,” said Jim Mullins, a former Douglas County Republican Party chairman, “and I think that is a recipe for disaster.”

Another man asked Pawlenty why he thought

Lawmaker: Medicaid change needed TOPEKA — Kansas shouldn’t let fear of change prevent it from overhauling Medicaid, an influential legislator said Tuesday, as Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration stuck with plans to let private companies manage the $2.9 billion program starting next year.

House Appropriations Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades, a Newton Republican, responded to criticism that the Brownback administration is moving too quickly to make massive changes in the state’s health coverage for the poor, the disabled and elderly. Rhoades said

the state can’t sustain its current Medicaid program because of rising costs.

“We don’t want fear to lock us into doing nothing,” Rhoades told The Associated Press. “At some point, you have to pull the trigger.”

Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, who led the team that developed Brownback’s overhaul plan, said Monday that companies have shown “vigorous” interest in becoming contractors. Colyer, a surgeon, made his remarks during a dinner gathering that Brownback had with a bipartisan group of two dozen lawmakers at his official residence.

scription for a form of emergency contraception,” Versola told the Senate Judiciary Committee. “If it weren’t for this, I probably wouldn’t have realized that EC existed,” she said.

Emergency contraception can prevent pregnancy if used in a timely manner.

State Rep. GateLEGISLATURE Sean wood, D-Topeka, said he believed Senate Bill 91 “was a common ground provision that we can all agree on to potentially prevent unwanted pregnancies.” NOW representatives said approximately 5 percent of rape victims become pregnant as a result of their attack.

Sixteen states currently have laws that provide information about emergency contraception as part of the sexual assault examination process, NOW state coordinator Kari Ann Rinker said.

Desetti said states such as Texas and Florida that don’t levy state income taxes have oil and tourism revenue that Kansas doesn’t.

The Rev. Tobias Schlingensiepen, of Clergy Concerned, said Brownback’s tax proposals had “a moral problem” by eliminating provisions aimed at helping the working poor, such the Earned Income Tax Credit.

On another front, a potential major change to the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System is being considered by legislators.

In the face of projected financial problems for KPERS, a study commission has proposed a new “hybrid” system for nonvested employees and

new hires that will be funded through a 6 percent employee contribution.

Brownback supports the commission recommendations, saying the transition to a defined contribution system is more like most private sector jobs.

But Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, said the recommendations don’t make sense. She said it will cost the state more to transition to the new plan, won’t address the unfunded liability problem, and leave retirees with reduced benefits.

“There is no way that any one can look at the facts and conclude that it is in anyone’s interest,” Kelly said.

Romney had trouble connecting with ordinary people.

Pawlenty said that seemed to be more of a media narrative and pointed to Romney’s performances in the New Hampshire and Florida primaries, saying he believed Romney would give the party its best chance to win independent votes, which would be key against Obama.

“We want the Republican Party to be excited and united,” Pawlenty said in his earlier interview.

“That’s important, and I believe and hope that Mitt will continue to do that. But it’s also true that people can’t just focus on entertainment. We had candidate Obama, an incredible speech giver and orator, but that’s only one small part of being a leader and being president.”

When Dole Institute

director Bill Lacy asked Pawlenty if he had any regrets about ending his own campaign too soon, Pawlenty joked: “Only late at night when I drink alone in my basement,” adding he regretted some tactical decisions he made causing his campaign to run out of money to go forward.

Pawlenty, who despite acting as a key Romney supporter, also said he had taken himself off the list of potential Romney running mates and even told Lacy he was happier volunteering for Romney than taking a Cabinet post in a Romney administration.

“I can’t afford that KU tuition on a Cabinet’s salary,” joked Pawlenty, whose daughter, Anna, is a KU freshman.

Auditors release 2nd report on KBA probe TOPEKA — Forensic auditors said Tuesday that they stand by their investigation of the Kansas Bioscience Authority and that any further work would be a waste of time and public funds.

The supplemental report released by BKD Forensic and Valuation Services was in response to legislative questions about the scope of the firm’s investigation of the KBA since April 2011.

BKD and a team from Meare Welch Browne were paid $960,000 to look at the KBA at the request of the agency and insistence of Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration.

“In our professional judgment, continuation of the investigation is not likely to lead to any information which will change the findings and conclusions in any material way, if at all,” the auditors wrote. “We believe the investment of additional time, effort and expense is not a wise or efficient use of resources.”

Brownback sees threat to NBAF TOPEKA — Some state legislators said Tuesday they were surprised by remarks from Gov. Sam Brownback that Kansas and its congressional delegation face “a continuous fight” to obtain federal funding for a new lab that would research plant and animal pathogens.

Brownback told two-dozen lawmakers during a Monday evening meeting at his official residence that he expects the legislative battle over the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility to last another five years. A site in Manhattan, near the Kansas State University campus, has been cleared for construction of the $650 million biosecurity lab.

“It’s troubling to learn that, hey, maybe it’s not as solid a deal as we thought,” state Rep. Don Hineman, a Dighton Republican who attended the meeting, said Tuesday.

ACTIVIST ANGELA DAVIS SMILES with Kansas University associate professor of American studies Sherrie Tucker before Davis’ lecture, “Feminism and Activism,” on Tuesday at KU’s Budig Hall. Davis was brought in as a guest lecturer to coincide with the 40-year anniversary of the February Sisters occupation in 1972. The demonstrators were calling for several demands, including a women’s studies program at KU and an end to pay differences based on gender.

A $2.4 million estate gift from Kansas University alumnus George A. Daniels will establish an endowed scholarship for undergraduates at KU. Daniels, who died in July 2011 at age 77, grew up on a farm near Smith Center. He was able to attend KU because of a Summerfield scholarship.

He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering in 1955.

Daniels earned a master’s degree in chemical engineering from Louisiana State University, where he also donated money to establish a similar scholarship, said his sister, Marian Montee, who serves as the executor of his estate.

She remembered he was the valedictorian of his class, but he relied on the scholarship to provide the necessary funds for his undergraduate Daniels education.

“He remembered what the scholarship did for him,” Montee said.

He went on to teach thermodynamics at LSU and held four patents that dealt with chemical processes.

Matt Melvin, KU associate vice provost for recruitment and enrollment, said the money would fund a renewable scholarship that would essentially pay a full ride.

The scholarship would cover tuition, room and board, fees and books for an in-state student.

“We anticipate that endowment collecting enough money to fund basically one to two full rides per year,” Melvin said.

Aside from athletics scholarships, the next closest scholarship at KU to a full ride is the $10,000 National Merit scholarship, Melvin said.

Douglas County prosecutors are asking District Judge Michael Malone to designate Christopher J. Saemisch as a sexually violent predator, meaning he must remain at Larned State Hospital for treatment instead of being released on parole.

District Attorney Charles Branson argued psychologists diagnosed Saemisch with pedophilia and exhibitionism, and a doctor testified Saemisch passed a sex offender treatment class without understanding the material, making him likely to re-offend.

Saemisch was convicted in 1999 on one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, a 5-year-old Lawrence girl, who was also a subject in dozens of pornographic videotapes he possessed.

“Harming of children did not stand in the way of his desires,” Branson said.

Kan., Mo. fight to keep Marine center KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas and Missouri officials are working together to fend off New Orleans’ effort to lure a Marine Corps data center and its 400 high-paying jobs away from Kansas City.

The congressional delegations and governors from both states have written to Marine Corps Commandant James F. Amos, arguing to keep the center where it is. And Kansas City Mayor Sly James recently made a personal appeal in Washington to keep the information technology where it has been since 1967, rather than accept an offer to move it to a new federal complex in New Orleans.

“The fact is that there are other cities out there that are competing hard for this and other military and defense-related businesses,” said James, a former Marine. “So we have opportunities, but we are in a competition.”

there are feminists.

“There are many definitions,” she said of feminism, “and to categorize into one would diminish the others.”

Davis praised the courage of the February Sisters but empathized continuing challenges to their original demands and to feminism in general.

“We like to have a nice Hollywood ending to struggle, but that’s not how it works,” she said.

“Women throughout the country, for example, need free day care now more than ever.”

She continued to discuss the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision of 1974 that legalized abortion and her refusal to accept a “single-issue campaign” but said that abortion rights are part of a larger spectrum of rights.

“I did not want to take abortion out of the greater conglomerate of women’s reproductive rights — I cannot talk about it in isolation,” she said.

And not all of Davis’ views are critical, she said. She does acknowledge advances made.

“Who could have imagined a woman as chancellor at a university like this? Much less a black woman?” she said, referring to Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little, and to much applause.

She stressed that to be a feminist and activist is to always continue to struggle, and that the framework allows for complex thinking about the world.

“Feminism helps us to inhabit contradictions,” she said. “With it, we can understand being critical and supportive at the same time.”

Malone heard evidence over two days in the trial and said he would make a ruling Feb. 15.

Teresa Leslie-Canty grew up with Davis as a hero and, after seeing her speak elsewhere, brought along her young daughter.

She said Davis’ “message was not that different” than it was in the 1970s and praised Davis’ calls to find solutions to societal ills such as intimate and sexual violence.

“Domestic violence is a significant issue with women and teenage girls — if only we could disrupt that cycle,” she said.

Davis closed her lecture on feminism and activism, the radical and the everyday with a message of encouragement for upcoming generations — a quote often used on the campaign trail by President Barack Obama but originally written by black feminist poet June Jordan: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”

With this in mind, an audience member asked Davis if she had found herself tempered in her thoughts and actions as she’s grown older.

“As an older person, I still try to be radical,” Davis, who’s 68, said with a laugh. “But no matter what, you can’t be radical as an individual. You have to be a part of a larger movement, and we are in an era in which revolutionary movements can re-emerge.”

CANCER SURVIVOR AND LAWRENCE RESIDENT LORRAINE ROWE, LEFT, shares a smile with Julie Tuley, a registered nurse and clinical director of the oncology unit at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. “I don’t have to sit in your chair anymore,” said Rowe to Tuley, who administered chemotherapy treatments to Rowe as she fought breast cancer. Rowe and her husband, Stan, delivered cookies at LMH as she celebrated five years of being cancer free Tuesday.

Lawrence woman celebrates 5 years of being cancer free

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

On Tuesday, Lorraine Rowe was decked out in a pink blazer and scarf as she handed out pink and white frosted sugar cookies in Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s Oncology Center.

The 61-year-old Lawrence resident was celebrating the fifth anniversary of her last chemotherapy treatment there for breast cancer.

“If I can reassure somebody or help somebody, I will just do anything I can,” she said. “There’s no doubt; cancer changes your life but ultimately it can make your life richer and fuller because you live more meaningfully.”

Rowe was diagnosed with cancer in her left breast Aug. 25, 2006, and she had a lumpectomy.

The doctors removed some lymph nodes around the tumor, and two of them were positive for cancer, so she decided to have a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery one month later.

“At that point, I decided that I would rather make the whole thing go away,” she said. “I wanted it gone.”

Rowe had lost her father to colorectal cancer in 1982, and her husband, Bill Givens, of 30 years, to liver cancer in 1999.

After surgery, Rowe received chemotherapy treatments and she participated in a clinical study where she received more drugs in less time.

“I felt like I tolerated it amazingly well. The most difficult part was probably just the fatigue,” she said.

She and her second husband, Stan Rowe, had just celebrated their first wedding anniversary when she received the cancer diagnosis. When her hair started falling out from chemotherapy, she had Stan shave her head, and when he was done he asked her to shave his head, and then they shaved Frannie’s — their terrier’s — head, too. Afterward, they called up their wedding photographer and asked her to take pictures of them wearing pink for breast cancer awareness.

“We were celebrating life with cancer,” Lorraine said.

Now, they are celebrating life without cancer by providing hope and words of encouragement for others.

David Owen and his wife, Ellyn, of Baldwin City, were sitting in the waiting room of the oncology center when Lorraine approached them with a basket of cookies shaped like party hats, whistles and the numeral five.

The gesture brought a smile to David’s face and

he congratulated Lorraine on her milestone.

“Very sweet,” he said, before receiving chemotherapy treatment for pancreatic cancer.

Lorraine reassured him that LMH was a good place for treatment.

“You are in good hands,” she said.

She also handed out cookies to the doctors, nurses and staff in the oncology center and at Lawrence Plastic Surgery, where Dr. John Keller works. He did her reconstructive surgery.

“I want them to know that I am still celebrating.

That I am not only a survivor but I am a thriver, and what a difference the compassion and understanding that they showed us made in my recovery,” she said.

More offenders may be required to register

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — More sexual, violent and drug offenders will likely be required to register with the state under the current version of amendments to the Kansas Offender Registration Act. On Tuesday, the House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee heard testimony for and against proposed amendments to the registry. Expansions include violators convicted in municipal courts and juveniles convicted in other states. The amendment also requires offenders to register when they are convicted. Currently, they register when they are sentenced or make a plea.

Lawmakers are expanding the registry to comply with the federal Sexual Offender Registration and Notification Act. Under SORNA, violators register at local sheriff’s offices several times a year to create a national database.

Opponents raised issues with the amendments, such as adding municipal drug violators and keeping low-risk offenders on the

The so-called “Bloomberg Bill,” aimed at keeping some gun investigations conducted by other states out of Kansas, failed to make it out of the Kansas House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee on Tuesday.

The bill was introduced after Kansas gun sellers were among 77 online dealers caught up in a sting conducted by private investigators working for the city of New York. Investigators posed as buyers who couldn’t pass a background check, making the sale potentially illegal.

Rep. Jim Kelly, R-Independence, wanted to keep similar investigations out of Kansas and introduced legislation in January that would make them a felony. But the committee failed to pass the bill.

“I think the committee has said it doesn’t want to make this public policy,” said Committee Chair-

woman Rep. Pat Colloton, R-Leawood.

Reps. Ward Cassidy, R-St. Francis, Jana Goodman, R-Leavenworth, and Lance Kinzer, R-Olathe, voted to pass the bill, which would not have applied to law enforcement investigations. But other representatives questioned it.

“Just on the face of it, it seems upside down to penalize people who are trying to find people doing wrong,” said Rep. Tom Moxley, R-Council Grove.

In 2011, “Point, Click, Fire,” sponsored by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, targeted 125 private dealers in 14 different states. During the investigation, five guns were actually purchased.

Private dealers are not required to conduct background checks but cannot sell guns to buyers if the dealer has reason to believe the buyer is prohibited from purchasing one. According to the study, four dealers in Kansas were contacted, and two agreed to sell firearms.

registry. Jennifer Roth, of the Kansas Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said nearly half of the registrants are drug and violent offenders, not sexual.

Drug offenses that require registration are manufacturing of methamphetamine, possessing precursors to methamphetamine and distribution of a controlled substance besides marijuana.

Chairwoman Pat Colloton, R-Leawood, said she wanted to remove drug offenders from the registry. But she said it would be difficult to do so during an election year when candidates do not want to appear soft on crime.

“Does it make sense to include these people in here either from a use of resource or encouraging in recidivism? No,” she said.

She said municipal drug violators would probably be left out of the final version of the amendment.

Colloton said the committee will finalize the bill and present it to the House floor.

CEDAR CREST MEETINGS INVESTIGATION

GOP: Lawmakers don’t have to give evidence

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Republican leaders in the Kansas Legislature told a Democratic district attorney Tuesday that lawmakers can’t be forced to turn over their records or answer questions in the investigation of private meetings at Gov. Sam Brownback’s official residence.

House Speaker M i k e O’Neal, a O’Neal H u t c h i nson Republican and an attorney, said in a statement that he’ll voluntarily cooperate with Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor’s investigation into the meetings and has urged fellow legislators to do the same. But he also said that precedents meant to protect legislators’ ability to speak freely while in session can’t be

“compromised for political gamesmanship.”

“We will expect the DA to refrain from distracting legislators from their legislative duties,” his statement read.

Taylor is investigating whether seven meetings that Brownback hosted in January at Cedar Crest for Republicans on 13 legislative committees violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Invitations went to more than 90 of the Legislature’s members.

Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene JonesSontag said Tuesday that the governor remains confident the meetings didn’t violate the law.

The district attorney sent a letter last week to Brownback’s office and all the state senators and House members, directing them to maintain records and electronic files that could be potential evidence and “to err on the side of preservation.”

Taylor asked legislators to respond, individually, by Tuesday.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FORMER PENNSYLVANIA SEN. RICK SANTORUM greets supporters after speaking at a primary night watch party Tuesday in St. Charles, Mo.

Jubilant Santorum wins Minn., Colo.

————

Ex-senator also wins Mo. primary

By David Espo and Philip Elliott Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A resurgent Rick Santorum won Minnesota’s Republican presidential caucuses with ease Tuesday night and was declared the victor in Colorado as well, a stunning sweep that raised fresh questions about frontrunner Mitt Romney’s appeal among the ardent conservatives at the core of the party’s political base.

Santorum triumphed, as well, in a nonbinding Missouri primary that was worth bragging rights but no delegates.

“Conservatism is alive and well in Missouri and Minnesota,” the jubilant former Pennsylvania senator told cheering supporters in St. Charles, Mo. Challenging both his GOP rival and the Democratic president, he declared that on issues ranging from health care to “Wall Street bailouts, Mitt Romney has the same positions as Barack Obama.”

Returns from 83 percent of Minnesota’s precincts showed Santorum with 45 percent support, Texas Rep. Ron Paul with 27 percent and Romney — who won the state in his first try for the nomination four years ago — with 17 percent. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich trailed with 11 percent.

Romney prevailed in both Minnesota and Colorado in 2008, the first

time he ran for the nomination, but the GOP has become more conservative in both states since then under the influence of tea party activists.

And he lacked the overwhelming advantage in television advertising, including fiercely negative attacks on his rivals, that had helped him in other states this year.

In Colorado, with returns counted from 55 percent of the precincts, Romney and Santorum each had 36 percent, Santorum claiming a scant 14-vote margin. Gingrich had 14 percent, and Paul trailed with 13 percent.

Romney showed no sign of disappointment in remarks to supporters.

“This was a good night for Rick Santorum. I want to congratulate Sen. Santorum, but I expect to become the nominee with your help,” he told supporters in Denver.

If the night was good for Santorum, it was grim for Gingrich, who made scant effort in any of the states that voted during the day.

He ran far off the pace in both caucus states, forced to watch from the sidelines while Santorum boasted of being the candidate with conservative appeal.

There were 37 Republican National Convention delegates at stake in Minnesota and 33 more in Colorado, and together, they accounted for the largest one-day combined total so far in the race for the GOP nomination.

Pearson Collision Repair 749-4455

O’Neal advised legislators not to respond immediately, hoping for a single legislative response. The result was a letter from him and Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican, citing a provision of the Kansas Constitution that says lawmakers can’t be subpoenaed or subjected to other proceedings in civil court cases while they are in session.

The letter also cited a section of the state’s Open Records Act that allows lawmakers to keep their documents confidential and said legislators have the discretion not to turn them over.

In a statement, Taylor said while “reasonable minds may differ” on the legal issues raised by GOP leaders, he is pleased that they plan to cooperate with the investigation.

Democratic legislative leaders did not sign the letter to Taylor. Both Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, of Topeka, and House Minor-

ity Leader Paul Davis, of Lawrence, said they replied individually.

“I don’t think the Legislature should receive any special treatment,” said Davis, an attorney.

The Open Meetings Act generally prohibits a voting majority of a legislative body from discussing government business without giving the public notice or access to the meetings.

Taylor has said the act does not apply to Brownback as an individual, and that the alleged violations are civil, not criminal, matters. Officials found to have knowingly broken the law can be fined up to $500 per incident, though such a penalty is unusual.

Brownback also had a dinner gathering Monday evening, but he invited a bipartisan group of legislators with no apparent ties to specific committees and permitted an Associated Press reporter and photographer to observe. He described the gathering as typical.

BRIEFLY Last known WWI veteran dies at 110 LONDON — Florence Green never saw the front line. Her war was spent serving food, not dodging bullets.

But Green, who has died at age 110, was the last known surviving veteran of World War I. She was serving with the Women’s Royal Air Force as a waitress at an air base in eastern England when the guns fell silent Nov. 11, 1918.

It was not until 2010 that she was officially recognized as a veteran after a researcher found her service record in Britain’s National Archives.

Green died Saturday at the Briar House Care Home in King’s Lynn, eastern England, two weeks before her 111th birthday, the home said.

Same-sex marriage ban struck down

SAN FRANCISCO — Samesex marriage moved one step closer to the Supreme Court on Tuesday when a federal appeals court ruled California’s ban unconstitutional, saying it serves no purpose other than to “lessen the status and human dignity” of gays.

The lone dissenting judge insisted that the ban could help ensure that children are raised by married, opposite-sex parents.

The appeals court focused its decision exclusively on California’s ban, not the bigger debate, even though the court has jurisdiction in nine Western states.

Whether same-sex couples may ever be denied the right to marry “is an important and highly controversial question,” the court said. “We need not and do not answer the broader question in this case.”

Dow approaches 13,000, and maybe a record to come

By Christina Rexrode Associated Press

NEW YORK — It was just last summer that the Dow Jones industrial average shed 2,000 points in three terrifying weeks. Investors had a host of things to worry about, including the possibility of another recession.

Now the Dow is within reach of the rarefied 13,000 mark — a level it hasn’t seen since May 2008, four months before the financial system almost came apart.

A strong one-day rally — caused by a deal on bailout money for Greece, perhaps, or an unexpectedly positive economic report — could put it over the top.

What’s more, the aver-

age is just a 10 percent rally from an all-time high.

And 10 percent rallies can happen fast these days.

The stomach-turning summer is a bad memory.

Europe appears to be getting its act together, last summer’s downgrade of the U.S.’ credit rating was quickly forgotten, Washington is mostly behaving, and recession fears are gone.

“There are signs that the economy is getting back on its feet and the market is reacting to that,” says John Prestbo, executive director of Dow Jones Indexes. “The mood is just better in this country than it has been for a while.”

On Wall Street, too.

The Dow traded Tuesday at 12,878, a 21 percent rally from Oct. 3, its low point for last year. In January,

the average rose more or less in a straight line and added 3.4 percent, its best start to a year since 1997.

From here, the record is tantalizingly close — 14,164.53, reached Oct. 9, 2007, when the investment houses Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers still existed and the unemployment rate was 4.7 percent.

A 10 percent surge may seem like a lot, but it’s really not. The Dow has gained almost 15 percent since Nov. 25, just 10 weeks ago.

Though there’s a long way to go to get the country back to economic health, there are pockets of encouragement. Unemployment is still 8.3 percent, but it’s the lowest since February 2009. Economic output grew every quarter last year.

Local talent?

A strong understanding of Lawrence may be more important than traditional chamber of commerce credentials in hiring a new executive for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

A

s the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce apparently heads into the home stretch of its search for a new chief executive officer, wanting to have the new hired leader in place yet this quarter, let’s hope there’s a new perspective about a fundamental qualification for the job.

Instead of playing another round of musical chairs within the ranks of professional chamber of commerce execs, maybe it’s time to recognize that what’s needed for Lawrence is someone who understands Lawrence and can function effectively in our community, with all its idiosyncrasies.

To back up, Hank Booth has been capably handling the reins on an interim basis since July 2011 when Tom Kern handed in his resignation after about three years as the local chamber exec. In the eyes of some community leaders, Kern never got comfortable in or with Lawrence; he often was frustrated particularly with factions in development circles and never seemed to click, despite making an earnest effort.

About the time that he might have been expected to be hitting his stride, he ambled instead toward a new job in Steamboat Springs, Colo.

He’s in a succession of less-than-successful, relatively short-term chamber execs, all of whom have come to the post from traditional chamber backgrounds.

The current search is being labeled as a regional one. That’s reasonable. Perhaps there’s an outstanding individual somewhere in the Midwest who’s just perfect for the CEO position here. It would be foolish to rule out someone arbitrarily.

But it would be just as foolish not to consider people who may be highly familiar with Lawrence, Douglas County and Kansas simply because they’re not steeped in the typical chamber training and credentials. Perhaps the better credentials are knowledge of our city and region, and a demonstrated ability to lead, to bring together divergent interests, and to convince people to act in the best interests of the community at large. Lawrence needs the right person in place and it could be that that person already is among our neighbors.

(And good luck finding anyone who has all the characteristics outlined in the sixpage “position profile” distributed over the signatures of the search firm. Tellingly, it devotes half a page to Lawrence and Douglas County, and most of the other five pages to the attributes of the CEO, his or her duties, qualifications, “desired personal traits” and “preferred knowledge, skills and abilities.” Thankfully, anyway, it does not rule out applicants with private or public sector experience.)

The chamber board needs to act expeditiously on this decision, but should not be afraid to start over if the right candidate does not surface in this round.

Once the job is filled, the new CEO and the board should move swiftly to fill the economic development position that’s also vacant. These important positions within the community cannot go unfilled too long without harming Lawrence’s ability to evolve in a positive way.

Why Israeli strike should worry U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta is refreshingly frank, sometimes stunningly so.

He outdid himself on a trip to Europe last week, making headlines on two sensitive topics.

Panetta said U.S. forces in Afghanistan would end their combat role by the middle of 2013, more than a year before they’re scheduled to leave the country (I’ll write more about this in another column.)

And in an even bigger bombshell, he told a Washington Post columnist that he’s worried Israel will attack Iran in April, May or June.

Some may surmise the secretary spoke out of turn or was

Israeli leaders insist time is running out because Iran is moving facilities into mountain bunkers that can’t be destroyed by air strikes.”

just trying to raise the heat on Tehran. But the straightforward Panetta meant what he said. And if he’s worried about a possible Israeli attack this spring, Americans should be worrying, too.

All the more so, since U.S. officials believe that Israel may give Washington no warning, even though an Israeli strike could cause big trouble for the United States.

Not a pressing issue?

Unfortunately, the American public isn’t worrying, because the immediacy of the issue hasn’t been evident. Tough talk about Iran has become a mainstay in this election year, with Republican candidates competing to tout military action against Tehran.

President Obama, too, has insisted all options are on the table to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. But the administration is focused on ratcheting up an unprecedented level of global sanctions and economic pressures on Tehran. Many have dismissed the rhetoric from Israel as little more than an adjunct to that pressure. Not so.

There is another reason Americans have been slow to grasp that an Israeli attack may be coming. U.S. and Israeli officials concur that, while Iran is developing the capability to build nuclear weapons, it hasn’t yet decided to do so. The two countries also agree that it will take time to develop a weapon if a decision is made.

“The consensus is, if they decided to do it, it would probably take them about a year to be able to produce a bomb,” Panetta said on CBS’s “60 Minutes” last week. It would take another one to two years to put a weapon on a delivery vehicle.

Time to squeeze Iran In other words, the administration believes there is still sufficient time to squeeze Iran through diplomacy and sanctions. Top U.S. officials from President Obama down have been trying to impress on their Israeli counterparts the need to operate in tandem. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Martin Dempsey, carried that message to Jerusalem last month.

And Panetta regularly repeats a call for U.S.-Israeli cooperation. As he put it recently on CBS’s “Face the Nation”: “We have common cause here. And the better approach is for us to work together.” Yet U.S. officials now believe Israel may make the decision to act on its own.

Israeli leaders insist time is running out because Iran is moving facilities into mountain bunkers that can’t be destroyed by air strikes.

“Whoever says ‘later’ may find that later is too late,” Is-

raeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak insisted Thursday.

At that point, he said, Iran’s program would enter an “immune zone” where it could be completed “without effective interruption.”

Barak, who with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been a strong advocate of a military strike, says Israel must consider “an operation” before Iran reaches that point.

So here’s why Americans should be worried about a possible spring strike on Tehran: One: There is broad agreement among top U.S. and Israeli security experts that an Israeli strike would not destroy Iran’s nuclear program, which is scattered in several locations, some underground. At best, it might delay it one or two years. This is one major reason there are still strong divisions over the wisdom of an attack within Israel’s security community.

So why take such a huge risk, if the program will remain operational? As I was told by one Israeli security expert, “If a strike will only set the program back a couple of years, it makes more sense to do the same thing through covert means.”

Big consequences Two: Despite such a small reward, the negative consequences could be enormous.

Israel may be willing to risk rocket and missile attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah. But a strike would probably boomerang by increasing Iran’s determination to build a weapon, while increasing sup-

port for the regime at home.

Even if Iran didn’t, or couldn’t, close the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices would spike, further hurting the global economy. The entire Mideast region would be further destabilized. And for what, if Iran’s nuclear program was only temporarily set back?

Three: Even if Israel attacks on its own, the United States will be blamed, with repercussions for U.S. forces in the region, and in Afghanistan. “If the Israelis made that decision,” Panetta told “Face the Nation,” “we would have to be prepared to protect our forces in that situation.

And that’s what we’d be concerned about.”

Four: If Israel goes it alone, without warning its closest ally, what does that say about the state of the alliance? Is this the way Israel would treat an American ally that aids and backs it to the max?

A premature strike would jeopardize U.S. interests, while failing to achieve Israel’s goal of destroying the Iranian program. The unintended consequences of such a strike could fray the alliance itself.

The Obama administration has built up unprecedented international pressure on Iran. A premature Israeli strike would undercut those U.S. efforts before they have played themselves out. “The most important thing is to keep the international community unified,” Panetta told the Associated Press on Friday. He’s right.

Legislature should limit major initiatives It would appear that the governor and his staff members wish to remake some of the most essential and complex aspects of state government during this year’s legislative session. He has already given the Legislature plans to remake the state tax system and the school finance system, transform the present state retirement system (KPERS) from a defined-benefit plan to a defined-contribution plan, and put a cap on state spending through limiting the state’s ability to spend additional revenues beyond a certain fixed percentage.

It would appear that all of these new initiatives are to be debated and voted on during the few months that the Legislature sits. And, of course, all of the regular business of the Legislature, including crafting a state budget, must be achieved in this short time span. In addition to all of this, legislators must deal with pressure from various groups to enact legislation that they want to see, seemingly constant pressure from Secretary of State Kobach to make Kansas a poster child for anti-voting fraud legislation, whether we need it or not, and now the prospect of an investigation by the Shawnee County district attorney into whether a series of dinners hosted by the governor violated the state’s

I have lived in Kansas for the past 18 years and I have watched legislative activity in the state quite closely for most of that time. I have never had the sense that the Kansas Legislature is a marvel of efficiency or speed. It seems to me that the Legislature often gets bogged down in debates over the less essential legislative proposals it considers.

Social conservatives also put pressure on the Legislature virtually every session and their proposals take up time.

In most years that I can recall, the Legislature has rarely completed its work on the state budget until the closing hours of the session. So, I have to ask a serious question: What is the likelihood that the 2012 Legislature, faced with some of the most radical proposals to change the nature of state government and state government financing it has ever seen, can possibly give the sort of serious consideration to each of these proposals that they demand? I think the answer is obvious. It’s not possible.

Given the very low likelihood that the Legislature can make reasoned, informed decisions about the governor’s proposals during the current session, what are the alternatives? One possibility is that the Legislature will simply not be able to act on many of the proposals and will either defeat them or defer them for study by interim committees and action in later years.

This wouldn’t be so terrible.

The other alternative, which I think would not be at all desirable, would be for the Legislature to take definitive action without adequate study and discussion. In recent years it has become clear that many state and federal legislators often vote on legislation that they have not read and do not understand. To what extent

this has occurred here in Kansas, I don’t know, but I fear that the only way our legislators could act on all of the governor’s proposals would be by not being adequately prepared. We have already seen the storm of criticism of the governor’s tax reform proposal — and the rapid movement by many legislators away from supporting it — when the plan’s full impact on the public became known.

Certainly, there is nothing wrong with the governor wanting to make changes in state government, even radical changes. But major governmental changes should not be made idly or without serious thought and debate. The number and complexity of the proposals now before the Legislature virtually assures that such serious thought and debate will be impossible if all are acted upon.

In my opinion, the leaders in both houses of the Legislature should pick one — or at most two — of the major reform proposals now on their agendas and concentrate on giving these the full and fair consideration they deserve.

The others should wait for another year and another legislative session.

Big battle, part 2

WACO, TEXAS — Kansas and Baylor — two of three schools that, along with Missouri, headed into the week with a share of first place in the Big 12 basketball standings — illustrate that not all programs in the top 10 in the national rankings take the same path.

KU coach Bill Self’s way has worked better and for longer than BU coach Scott Drew’s, but it’s difficult to argue with Drew’s method at the moment since his team, which features McDonald’s All-Americans Perry Jones III, Quincy Miller and several other serious talents, is ranked sixth in the country.

Memphis set to join to Big East The Associated Press

Memphis is the latest school to sign up for a spot in the new Big East.

A person familiar with the decision says Memphis is joining the Big East for all sports in 2013.. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because an official announcement would be made today.

The Big East announced it would hold a teleconference with commissioner John Mari-

natto, University of Memphis president Shirley C. Raines and Memphis athletic director R.C. Johnson, though it did not give any details about what would be discussed.

Johnson said a news conference would be held in Memphis after the teleconference to discuss the university’s athletic affiliation.

U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen (DTenn.) couldn’t wait until the news became official to celebrate. “I am thrilled that my home-

town team and alma mater the University of Memphis is being invited to join the Big East,� Cohen said in a statement. “Joining the Big East will not only be great for the University of Memphis, but it will be an economic catalyst for the City of Memphis. “Thanks to Louisville Coach Rick Pitino for his strong support. And Congratulations to Dr. Shirley Raines and R.C. Johnson.�

The falling confetti provided the perfect mascara. The coronation of Eli Manning as the game’s “money� quarterback du jour diverted attention from what should’ve been one of the NFL’s great embarrassments.

On this grandest of stages, in this contrived super battle of modern-day warriors, a team voluntarily surrendered defensively. In the closing minute Sunday, New England gave New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw an uncontested path to the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown.

Why? The NFL’s offensively slanted rules make it easier to drive 80 yards with a single time-out than to prevent a chip-shot field goal.

The league is constantly tweaking the rules, such as charging defensive backs with assault and battery for looking at a wide receiver the wrong way. But the NFL Competition Committee should seriously consider making a field goal of fewer than 30 yards worth two points instead of three.

Lessening the value of a chip shot — of course, you can ask Baltimore kicker Billy Cundiff about the ease of a “chip shot� — would be consistent with the offense-centricity of the NFL’s rules. The league despises defense, and this change could inspire a more aggressive offensive approach in the red zone.

But more important, it wouldn’t as easily reward surrendering.

It really bothered me that New England floating a matador’s cape in front of the charging Bradshaw actually constituted common sense with the Patriots leading by two points with a little more than a minute remaining in the Super Bowl.

Rise to the occasion. Take a stand. Make a stop. If you don’t and lose, at least there’s some solace that you left everything on the field.

Bradshaw told reporters Sunday night that, as soon as he took the handoff, he heard Manning screaming to him not to score. He tried stopping, but he awkwardly wobbled and fell backward into the end zone.

My only wish was that Bradshaw stopped so close to the goal line that Patriots coach Bill Belichick would demand an official’s review, insisting that he scored.

Defense should matter as much as offense.

The biggest play Sunday was Tom Brady foolishly taking a safety on the Patriots’ first possession. He felt pressure from the Giants’ pass rush in the end zone and heaved a desperate aerial nearly to the 50-yard line.

The problem was that the closest New England receiver was 15 yards shy of the football.

Brady was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone, which resulted in two points for the Giants.

That such an inherently aggressive play could count less on the scoreboard than a 20yard field goal only exacerbates the NFL’s embarrassment.

NEW YORK GIANTS QUARTERBACK ELI MANNING SHOWS OFF THE Vince Lombardi Trophy during the team’s Super Bowl parade Tuesday in New York.

New York celebrates Giants’ championship NEW YORK — Eli Manning hoisted the Lombardi Trophy from a glittering blue-and-white float, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg joked that New York City should now be nicknamed the “Big Blue Apple,� as thousands of fans crowded lower Manhattan on Tuesday to celebrate the New York Giants’ Super Bowl victory amid tons of confetti.

The parade set off from the southern tip of Manhattan and rolled slowly north to City Hall, past fans dressed head to toe in red, blue and white Giants gear, with confetti wafting slowly from the high-rises lining Broadway.

Manning, the Super Bowl MVP, joined by coach Tom Coughlin, Bloomberg, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other teammates, waved and grinned from the float as a deep roar rose from the crowds.

Defensive end Justin Tuck said he was glad to be part of the team, leading its defense and sacking New England quarterback Tom Brady twice during the 21-17 victory over the Patriots, “We made it here by believing in each other.

We believe in every guy on this team,� he said later during a ceremony at City Hall Plaza. “Honestly, we wouldn’t be here today without your support.�

The team was introduced with thunderous applause from the thousands of fans outside the City Hall gates. A lucky 250 fans received tickets to the fete, where the Giants were honored with symbolic keys to the city.

The crowd went wild for running back Ahmed Bradshaw, who plopped down in the end zone Sunday to score the winning touchdown. Wide receiver Victor Cruz did his trademark salsa moves as he accepted his key.

OWINGS MILLS, MD. — Ricky Williams is retiring from the NFL. Again. This time, however, it appears to be for good.

The 34-year-old Williams told the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday that he won’t be back to fulfill the second year of a contract he signed in August. Playing as a backup to Ray Rice this year, Williams ran for 444 yards and scored two touchdowns.

He also became the 26th player in NFL history to reach 10,000 yards rushing, reaching the plateau in the season finale at Cincinnati.

Williams retired previously before the 2004 season when facing a four-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy. He returned in 2005, then left to spend the 2006 season with Toronto of the Canadian Football League.

after going 19-26 in two-plus seasons with the Chiefs, leading them to the 2010 AFC West title.

Clippers’ Billups out for season LOS ANGELES — Clippers guard Chauncey Billups will miss the remainder of the season after tearing his left Achilles tendon during Los Angeles’ 107-102 victory over the Magic in Orlando on Monday night. The team says an MRI on Tuesday confirmed Billups’ injury.

Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis says his peers in the Big Ten are comfortable exploring the possibility of a four-team playoff for the national championship.

Hollis says keeping ties to the Rose Bowl is extremely important to athletic directors in the Big Ten and Pac-12.

Firebirds win ugly, 55-48

By Benton Smith

BOX SCORE

basmith@ljworld.com

LEAVENWORTH — Out of the ordinary was the theme of the night Tuesday for Free State High’s girls basketball team.

Firebirds coach Bryan Duncan wasn’t exactly sure how his team pulled off a 55-48 win at Leavenworth after making just two of its 14 shot attempts in the fourth quarter. But, hey, it worked.

It helped that FSHS (123) didn’t turn the ball over once in the final eight minutes, and that Chelsea Casady, Scout Wiebe and Lynn Robinson each went 2-for-2 at the free-throw line.

“It wasn’t pretty,” Duncan said, “but we did enough.”

Winning in such fashion against the Pioneers (5-10), Wiebe said, was hard to describe.

“It was kind of gross,” she said of the Firebirds’ seventh straight victory.

“It was not a great game.”

Wiebe, a sophomore, got her first start of the season in the absence of Abbey Casady, who was performing at a choir concert. The fill-in starter had seven points and five rebounds — the biggest coming on the defensive end with 30 seconds left in the game. Senior Jackie Garcia tipped the ball to keep it alive after LHS missed a three-pointer, and Wiebe secured the ball and was fouled.

With Free State up 5148, the sophomore went to the foul line for a one-andone and sank both shots

FREE STATE’S LYNN ROBINSON (14) TRIES to shake away the Leavenworth defense on Tuesday at Leavenworth High. Free State defeated Leavenworth, 55-48. to give the Firebirds some much needed separation.

Duncan said plays like that made a difference on a “backwards” night when the Firebirds didn’t have their normal rotation and missed shots they usually make with ease.

FSHS led 42-40 entering the fourth, but the Pioneers took a 47-44 lead before junior sub A’Liyah Rogers knocked in a three-pointer to tie the game. Rogers was set up for the shot thanks to an offensive rebound by Ariana Frantz.

Junior Kennedy Kirkpatrick, who led Free State with 16 points, hit one free throw at the 3:49 mark, and the Firebirds led from that point on.

“We still found ways to win, even when we shoot that poorly,” Duncan said after the Firebirds hit 18 of their 57 shots (32 percent).

Chelsea Casady scored eight of her 14 points in the third quarter to help FSHS keep up with Leavenworth.

It took the Firebirds most of the first half to get into a groove. Free State

LEAVENWORTH — If Free State High’s boys basketball team wanted to hone its comeback repertoire Tuesday night, it might have picked the wrong opponent to try that against.

The Firebirds got within four points of Leavenworth on three occasions in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t get over the hump and lost 63-56.

It would’ve helped the FSHS cause, coach Chuck Law said, if his team hadn’t played “scared, timid” basketball in the first half.

Law said the Firebirds (510) didn’t block out or play aggressive on the glass in the first half, nor did they go hard to the rim off the dribble like they could have.

All of that, he said, helped the Pioneers (12-3) take a 31-21 lead into the break.

“You can’t sleepwalk through a game 16 minutes, (which is) pretty much what we did against the fifth-ranked team in the state, dig yourself a 10-point hole and expect to get back,” Law said.

Despite that hole, Free State began to climb its way back in immediately in the third quarter. Senior Brett Frantz buried a three-pointer, Cameron Dabney scored and Cole Moreano hit a layup in transition in the first 1:30 of the second half. Suddenly the Firebirds’ deficit was down to 31-28.

The Pioneers, however, were able to stretch that lead back out to 11 by the

the dunk. “But me and Jake do that a lot in practice, and he always knows how to find me. He gave me a great pass, and that was definitely the best dunk I’ve ever had in a game.”

On the very next possession, Mosiman again set up a dunk, this time by knifing into the lane

opening minutes of the fourth quarter. Law said Leavenworth’s four-guard attack, with players all capable of driving or shooting from deep, made it difficult for FSHS to come from behind.

“You’ve got to make them play from behind and make them scramble, and even then it’s no cakewalk when you get them in that situation,” Law said.

One thing that helped the Firebirds inch back into the game was their full-court pressure. The Pioneers turned the ball over six times in the fourth quarter and those either led to easy baskets — such as a layup for Frantz (10 points) or a three-pointer

by Dimitar Gocevski — or extra possessions and opportunities for FSHS senior Gabe Patterson to dominate.

Patterson scored 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter, often cashing in after a pass from point guard Shawn Knighton.

Although Free State came up short, Patterson, who went 9-for-11 from the floor, said there were some positive signs from his team in the second half of the seven-point loss.

“I think we stepped up on ‘D,’” he said. “We just lost it a couple of times and those few mistakes we made, they capitalized on them.”

Of course, FSHS wasn’t perfect in the second half. Law said the Firebirds’ press looked great at times, but they blew chances to convert off of turnovers at other moments.

“We’ll look at game film and want to pull our hair out,” Law said.

LHS took a 50-39 lead

midway through the fourth quarter, but Free State crept back with six straight points from Patterson.

Later, in a four-second span, Dabney made four straight free throws and FSHS was within four with 2:12 remaining.

Patterson scored his team’s next four points before Gocevski’s threepointer with 30 seconds left cut the Pioneers’ lead to 60-56. But those proved to be Free State’s last points.

Following the loss, Law just looked back at how his team began the night.

“We lost the game in the first half,” he said.

and dishing to Montes de Oca, who made sure his third dunk attempt of the night was worth talking about.

Those eight points were big, but they may have never come had it not been for two baseline jumpers from junior reserve Tyrone Jenkins a little earlier. The first gave LHS a 40-36 cushion with 45 seconds to play in the third quarter. The second — off another assist from Mosiman, one of five on

the night — got the Lions started in the fourth.

“He shoots those shots in practice, and we have all the confidence in the world that he’s gonna make them,” Pritchard said.

LHS opened Tuesday’s game on a 10-0 run and built a lead of 14-2 before the Vikings could even break a sweat. However, what looked to be a rout early on quickly turned into a dogfight thanks to the hot shooting of SMW

senior Mitch Witter, who finished with a game-high 26 points and led all scorers with 17 points by halftime. He found himself open so often because the Lions were focused on stopping junior Jay Temaat, who scored 34 points and nailed seven three-pointers in a game last week. LHS, and mostly Pritchard, limited Temaat to seven points on 2-of-7 shooting Tuesday night.

“We really needed this,” Pritchard said. “Every-

MEN’S BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Henrickson: Kansas, Texas both ‘desperate’ for a win “

We’ve both lost and are on a skid here and The last time they met, are both looking to try in early January, the Kan- to get it right.”

sas University women’s basketball team knocked off then-No. 23 Texas in Austin for its first road victory against a ranked team since 2000 and moved to 12-1 overall and 1-0 in Big 12 play.

Despite owning a 30-20 halftime advantage and leading by as much as 23 points in the second half, the Jayhawks watched the Longhorns whittle NO ROOM their lead down to FOR ERROR two, 6967, with 15 Who: Kansas seconds to (16-6 overall, play.

Drew. He is 1-9 versus KU; Self 9-1 at KU (9-2 overall) versus BU. “That’s the great thing.

The home court in the Big 12 does give you a big advantage,” Drew added “We’ve got to do a better job of trying to minimize their runs. We didn’t answer the bell in that one as we did in 17 games previous to that.”

Tyshawn Taylor had 28 points off 10-of-14 shooting (4-6 threes), while Thomas Robinson had 27 points off 11-18 shooting with 14 rebounds in the first meeting. Jones had 18, Miller 17, Acy 14 and Pierre Jackson 11.

“I think at the end of the day, everybody faces the same thing. No matter what you do, he’ll get his.

He’s probably been player of the year thus far,” Drew said of Robinson. “The question is ... can you limit him to where he does not have a career night and other guys do not have career nights as well?”

Robinson says he’s motivated to avoid the agony of defeat for a second straight game. KU has gone 227 games without consecutive losses, which is the longest active streak in NCAA Division I. KU’s last two straight losses were Jan. 14 vs. Kansas State (59-57 in Allen Fieldhouse) and Jan. 16 at Missouri (89-86 overtime in Mizzou Arena) during the 2005-06 season.

“It’s just a feeling of not wanting to lose again.

You still have that bad

— Kansas University women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson a shot at revenge tonight when they face Kansas at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.

Both teams enter tonight’s game with a handful of problems. The Jayhawks (16-6 overall, 5-5 Big 12) have lost four of their last five games and turned a 4-1 conference start into a 5-5 grind that has seen more bad than good of late. The Longhorns (139, 3-7) also have struggled during recent weeks, dropping three straight to Iowa State, Kansas State and Texas Tech.

“I think both teams are desperate, for lack of a better word,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said.

“We’ve both lost and are on a skid here and are both looking to try to get it right.”

While many of the Jayhawks’ recent losses have come partly because of the opponent and partly because of KU beating itself with silly mistakes and a lack of focus, the Long-

horns seem to have struggled because of injuries.

Most nights, the Jayhawks view the presence of junior forward Carolyn Davis, who averages 18 points, six rebounds and 61 percent shooting, as their biggest advantage. However, against Texas, it could be KU’s backcourt that gives Kansas a leg up. Of the eight guards on UT coach Gail Goestenkors’ roster, only three will be available against KU tonight.

“When you don’t have any subs for your guards, it leaves little room for error,” Goestenkors said.

“That’s been the biggest issue off the court. On the court, it’s been a number of things, but here recently, it’s been the turnovers.”

In the last meeting between these two, KU forced 18 UT turnovers and shot 57 percent from the floor, including 50 percent from three-point land. Those numbers allowed KU to build the big lead and were particularly pleasing to Henrickson.

“We handled multiple different defenses from them,” Henrickson said.

“And they were really aggressive with us.”

Don’t expect the same strategy tonight. Because of her roster limitations,

Noted Taylor: “I don’t think we like the feeling of losing. We always come in with a good attitude and we try to get better and learn from our mistakes that we made in the previous game.”

Goestenkors said she would look to play at a tempo that’s slower than normal for most of her teams.

“When you are shorthanded, you want to spend as much time as you can on the offensive end,” she said.

Whether that turns out to be what happens or not, Henrickson is preparing for the Longhorns she is used to seeing. That means tightening up the turnovers and focusing on transition basketball — both on offense and defense.

“Transition for both teams is really, really critical,” Henrickson said.

“They may be limited depth-wise on the perimeter, but those guys are just so quick, and they’re as good as anybody in the league in transition.”

O Withey a key: KU center Jeff Withey had 10 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks and three steals in the first meeting vs. Baylor. Playing against much smaller players, he didn’t score and had four boards versus Mizzou.

“When I was trying to post them up they were quicker to get in front of me, and they were always attacking my knees. It is definitely harder for a big man to guard a little guy,” Withey said, referring to the Missouri game. “You can usually use a swim move on a forward but when boxing out a guard they are at your knees, and you don’t expect it and it kind of takes your legs out from under you.”

He’ll try to be assertive against Jones and Baylor’s other big men.

“I think that I can help out offensively. Not scoring any points and being out on the floor for 20 minutes is not very good for me,” he said. “If I can be more of a threat, that helps out everybody on the floor. I definitely want to be able to score, that way it relieves pressure on the other guys.

I like playing against guys my size a lot more than playing against a bunch of guards. But it is still going to be a tough game, and we are getting ready for that.”

O Retro jerseys Saturday: The Jayhawks will be wearing 1952 retro jerseys during Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State (3 p.m., Allen Fieldhouse) in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the 1952 NCAA title season. The jerseys will soon be available for purchase at KUstore.com.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Ex-KU LB Johnson gets NFL combine invite

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Kansas Jayhawks are back in the NFL combine.

After a one-year hiatus, the Kansas University football program once again will be represented at this year’s combine in Indianapolis, as linebacker Steven Johnson recently received an invitation to attend the world’s most publicized job interview for college football players eyeing the jump to the NFL. The former walk-on, who eventually earned a

scholarship and finished his career by leading Kansas in tackles during both his junior and senior seasons, likely solidified his invitation with a strong showing in this year’s East-West Shrine Game in January.

During the game Johnson in St. Petersburg, Fla., Johnson recorded five tackles for the victorious West squad.

As a senior at KU, the Media, Pa., native led the Big 12 Conference in tackles (93) and finished the season ranked 16th in the nation with 124. Johnson, who earned both second team and third team allleague honors following KU’s 2-10 season, also finished in the top 25 nationally in solo tackles with 66.

The last time a Jayhawk participated in the NFL combine was in February of 2010, when former KU stars Dezmon Briscoe, Kerry Meier and Darrell Stuckey all ran through

the four-day event that measures everything from size and speed to intelligence and intangibles. All three were drafted in the 2011 NFL Draft, and Johnson, who has spent the past few weeks training in Arizona, hopes to join them.

This year’s combine, which will feature more than 300 NFL hopefuls, will run from Feb. 22-28.

Johnson will attend from Feb. 24-27, with his skills testing scheduled for the final day.

The 2012 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 26-28.

FLORIDA’S BRADLEY BEAL (23) SHOOTS UNDER PRESSURE from Kentucky’s Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (14) during the second half on Tuesday in Lexington, Ky. Kentucky won, 78-58.

No. 1 Kentucky rolls over Florida The Associated Press

No. 1 Kentucky 78, No. 8 Florida 58 LEXINGTON, KY. — Doron Lamb struggled to explain why Kentucky could roll so easily over Florida.

It’s much easier for the Wildcats to talk about their goal.

“I told somebody we were going to blow them out today. I just felt it coming,” said Lamb, who finished with 18 points in a victory Tuesday night.

“I knew it was coming for some reason. I don’t know why.”

Freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist added 13 points and 13 rebounds and Kentucky easily passed its toughest Southeastern Conference test to date for its 49th straight home win.

“We have this little swagger,” freshman Anthony Davis said. “We just want to go out there and play hard and win. We’re very capable of winning a national championship if we keep playing how we’re playing.”

The Wildcats (24-1, 100) matched their best start in league play since 2005 thanks to three freshmen starters who have jelled into a formidable defense to go along with their high-powered offense.

Davis added 16 points for Kentucky, which won its 16th straight overall and ended Florida’s run of seven consecutive wins.

Kenny Boynton led the Gators (19-5, 7-2) with 18 points, but the team with the nation’s most threepointers this season went 6 of 27 from behind the arc and shot 34.9 percent overall from the field.

Walk Kansas a step toward a healthier lifestyle Q:

What is Walk Kansas? Can anyone join a team and when does it begin?

Cooking Q&A

A:

Walk Kansas is a team-based program that will help you and others lead a healthier life by being more active, making better nutrition choices and learning positive ways to deal with stress.

This is how it works:

Teams of six people work together during the eight-week challenge, which runs March 18 to May 12.

Each team will choose to work toward challenge 1 or challenge 2.

Challenge 1: Each participant reaches the minimum goal for physical activity — 2-1/2 hours of moderate/vigorous activity per week. Collectively over eight weeks, the team would walk 423 miles which is the distance across the state of Kansas. (Fifteen minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity counts as one Walk Kansas mile.)

Challenge 2: Each participant logs 6 hours of moderate/vigorous activity per week. Collectively over eight weeks, the team would walk 1200 miles which is the distance around the perimeter of the state.

Participants log minutes of physical activity and fruits/vegetables consumed each day, and report these weekly to their team captain. Captains report team totals each week. Progress of all teams in Douglas County (and throughout Kansas) can be viewed at www. walkkansas.org.

Anyone can be on a Walk Kansas team — co-workers, family members,friends and neighbors. And they don’t even have to live in Douglas County or, for that matter, they don’t even have to live in the state or nation! We’ve had Douglas County team members from across the state, from other states and we’ve even had family members overseas participate.

In fact, one individual shared in a success story last year, “Walk Kansas began at the same time I took a two-week tour to Vietnam. Since this meant a lot of time on planes or buses, the program gave me even more impetus to exercise when the opportunity arose. I believe this helped dealing with the stress of long distance travel too.”

Because team members don’t have to walk or be active together, it can still give that added push that we need now and then to start on a more healthful path — and that’s what Walk Kansas does — it motivates you! A 2011 participant commented “Walk Kansas helps get me motivated to increase my exercise on a regular basis. Since the hardest part is getting started, I appreciate the low-key and yet very important peer pressure and accountability that helped jump start my exercise.” You can count individual activity, team activities and you can even count activities that you do with others outside of your team.

New this year: Research is finding that prolonged sitting may be a health risk. If you sit for more than one hour at a time at work, home, while driving or traveling — take a 1 to 2 minute break. Just standing a few minutes every hours makes a difference. Each participant can earn 15 bonus minutes per week for breaking every hour of sitting (during waking hours). If you do this at least 6 days each

Susan Johnson susanjohnson@ksu.edu

week, you can add 15 bonus minutes per week.

The registration deadline is March 5 (however, late registrations will be accepted until 1 p.m.

March 23). The individual participant fee is $7, plus $2 for each additional family member living in the household. To encourage employers to support wellness, we are offering a $2 off discount per participant (which totals $5 per participant) to workplaces who pay for their employees to participate in Walk Kansas.

Walk Kansas T-shirts

are also available in three colors — navy, fuchsia and purple. They cost $7 per participant (size 2XL and larger cost $9).

Even though this is a statewide initiative, last year, Douglas County alone had 1,127 individuals participate in Walk Kansas. Of the 186 teams, 84 percent were from workplaces.

For much more information on Walk Kansas, go to our website at www.douglas.ksu.edu or call 843-7058 or email me at susanjohnson@ksu. edu or Margaret Kalb at mkalb2@ksu.edu.

Is walking the only activity that counts?

Walking is an activity that most people can do; however, any activity that is at a moderate or vigorous level (for at least 10 consecutive minutes) can count. This could include activities such as swimming, jogging, bike riding, basketball, aerobic exercise, tennis, even pushing a lawnmower. Strength

and flexibility exercises, (48 percent)

Increased flexibility such as yoga, tai chi, working with resistance bands (25 percent)

Lower blood pressure and strength training (9 percent) would also count.

I definitely was more aware of my fruit and vegetable intake, which even though I am aware of the extreme health benefits I tend not to take in the recommended serving amounts. Walk Kansas helps keep my fitness and nutrition as a priority in my busy life! And I feel so much better when those are both a priority.

Creamy seafood dish says ‘I love you’

By Alison Ladman For The Associated Press

Warm and creamy, au gratin are perfect for a cold winter night. And what better way to say “I love you” than with a little indulgence of seafood and cream.

This dish goes together with just a little effort and you end up with an impressive and delicious dinner for two. Serve with crusty bread and a green salad dressed with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, sea salt and ground black pepper.

Seafood Au Gratin Some grocers and seafood markets sell frozen lobster meat. That’s the easiest way to get it for this dish. Alternatively, ask for a 1 1/4-pound lobster at the grocer and have them steam it for you while you shop. That size lobster should produce about 4 ounces of cooked meat.

(about a cup), and a half a cup of hulled edamame in to “fry” for just a minute. Cook on one side, then the other. This mix is excellent because you don’t have to chop anything (unless you want to remove the stems from your broccoli florets). It’s all just “toss and go” and you have a lot of vegetable

oil. Add the grated sweet potato and onion. Cook until tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the thyme and season with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture between the 2 baking dishes, spreading it evenly across the bottom.

Cut up the fish and lobster into bite-sized pieces.

Arrange the fish, lobster, shrimp and scallops over the sweet potato mixture.

Sprinkle with salt and pour the cream over the seafood.

I like to add the edamame to my dishes to up the protein content, as well.

And then I quickly added the chicken and sauce, and lowered the heat to medium.

This cooks quickly.

Wait for the sauce to thicken and reduce — about eight minutes — and the chicken should be done at the same time.

I garnished with green onions, cilantro, and chopped peanuts. Crunch is important for people

who are dieting — because we watch our carbs, we don’t get chips or crackers very often, so it’s important to introduce crunchy elements to dishes where possible.

Serve over rice — and if you are counting your points or calories, keep your rice to about 1/4 of a cup or less. The whole dish, then, will cost you about seven Weight Watchers Points Plus. If you like brown rice, use it to lower your points even more. For me, it’s not

worth it — but to each his own.

This is a great meal because you can eat a LOT of the chicken and vegetables for very few points, so you get full without ruining the rest of the day for eating.

People, I’ve lost 12 pounds in two weeks. If I can do it, and still eat, drink, and be merry, so can you!

MEATLESS MONDAY

Stuffed shells burst with flavor

By Sarah Henning

sarah@lawrence.com

As the temperature (inevitably) drops, you’ll be happy you took advantage of your Meatless Monday by using it to make something delicious that can be reheated all week. Thus, you’ll be less inclined to give up and order pizza or another warming take-out option if you have these Simple Spinach Stuffed Shells left over in the fridge.

Warm and comforting, this sophisticated take on a classic Italian dish includes all-star green spinach and adult ingredients like fennel seeds, garlic and basil. The result is something familiar yet different, indulgent yet a bit lighter.

Simple Spinach Stuffed Shells 1 1/4 pounds spinach (2 10-ounce bags frozen, or 1 big bunch fresh) 18 ounces low-fat cottage cheese 1 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup for shells plus 1/2 cup for topping) 2 tablespoons washed and chopped fresh basil (or use 2 teaspoons dried basil) 1 tablespoon washed, dried and minced fresh parsley 1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds 4 fresh garlic cloves, peeled and minced Sea salt and pepper to

taste 3 1/2 cups pasta sauce 16 ounces pasta shells (about 32 shells) If working with dried pasta, cook shells as directed, wash and drain.

Prepare spinach (wash, dry and chop fine if fresh; thaw if frozen) and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add cottage cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan, fresh basil, parsley, fennel seeds and minced garlic. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Blend to desired consistency.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasonings if needed.

Note: Go easy on the sea salt, as cottage cheese is a bit saltier than the classic version of stuffed shells that call for ricotta cheese.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spoon 1/2 cup pasta sauce to coat the bottom of the dish and to prevent sticking. You may also add a dash of extra virgin olive oil if desired.

Using a serving spoon and clean hands, fill each pasta shell with the spinach mixture. Carefully transfer stuffed shells, filling side up, to the prepared baking dish. Spoon remaining pasta sauce over shells and sprinkle with remaining shredded Parmesan cheese.

Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake until heated through, about 30 minutes. Allow the shells to settle for 10 minutes before serving (or else they may be juicy).

McDonald’s pulls ad after pit bull owner outrage

AP Photo

THIS IMAGE PROVIDED BY STEPHANIE FILER, communications manager for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa and a member of ARL Pit Crew Club, shows part of an illustration she posted on social media sites in protest of a new ad from McDonald’s that said eating a Chicken McBite, a smaller version of a Chicken McNugget, was less risky than, among other things, petting a stray pit bull.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — McDonald’s has apologized and pulled a radio ad that came back to bite it.

The ad said eating a Chicken McBite was less risky than petting a stray pit bull, shaving your head, naming your son Sue or giving friends your Facebook password. It enraged pit bull owners and their supporters.

The radio ad for Chicken McBites only ran for a few days in the Kansas City area before the complaints started. The campaign against the ad circulated on social media sites, and the apology was delivered the same way. People who

called a toll-free number got a recorded apology.

“The ad was insensitive in its mention of pit bulls.

We apologize. As soon as we learned of it, we tracked the source and had the local markets pull the ad immediately. We’ll do a better job next time. It’s never our intent to offend anyone with how we communicate news about McDonald’s,” Ashlee Yingling, spokesman for McDonald’s Corp., said Monday, quoting from the apology.

“I found it extremely offensive and reckless,” said Rachele Lizarraga of Sacramento. “Why would you try to promote the safety

of food?”

Lizarraga, who owns a pet-sitting business and is social media coordinator for Chako Pit Bull Rescue, started a Facebook page called “Pit Bulls Against McDonald’s,” launched an online petition calling for an end to the ad and started one of many Twitter threads.

The campaign against the ad built swiftly and fiercely Friday. Then the ad disappeared, except on YouTube and online.

It was not a national radio ad, Yingling said.

“Working with the local market, we took immediate action to pull the ad and apologized for the mistake.

Again, it’s never our intent to offend anyone,” she said.

“I am pleased that they pulled the ad after their customers spoke out about it. Not all companies listen so closely to their customers so I appreciate that they did — and so quickly,” said Stephanie Filer, communications manager for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa and a member of ARL Pit Crew Club.

She posted an illustration, showing a box of McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets and a pit bull laying on its back with the caption “Which is safer?

Eating this? Petting this?”

Tips: To cut cake layers in half, mark side of cake with toothpicks first before cutting with long serrated knife. To make white chocolate curls, place room temperature white baking chocolate on waxed paper.

THE FLYING FORK

a blog by Megan Stuke

Stir (fry) crazy ——

Asian flavors make diet a snap

T

his Weight Watchers thing is turning out to be a snap. I’m not kidding, people. I’ve lost 12 pounds and I’m eating, I’m satisfied, and even my husband hasn’t suffered too badly for my “lifestyle change.”

One of my staple dinner items on my new menu is stir-fry. Asian food is ideal diet food, if you go easy on the rice. There’s rarely any cheese or dairy of any kind involved. The meat portions are controlled. It’s chock full of vegetables, very little fat, and, bonus: lots and lots of FLAVOR. I’ve made several stir-fry dishes since this journey began, but my favorite was a simple chicken and vegetable mix I whipped up one weekend for lunch. We’d been downtown for a walk and I’d smelled all manner of lovely downtown restaurants, and determined not to blow my point values for the day (I like to save them on the weekends for wine and/ or dinner parties), I determined to go home and make my own “restaurant lunch.”

As usual, I started with some chicken tenders. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If I am going to cook white meat, I like the tenders over the big breasts. They seem to get less dry, and they thaw quickly so you can go from freezer to table in a reasonable amount of time.

I was serving two but wanted leftovers, so I cut up about six tenders into bitesized pieces and set them aside. Note: I like to leave meat a tiny bit frozen when I start because it is so much easier to cut it up than when it’s completely thawed.

Then I made up my sauce: 1/2 cup soy sauce (I like to use the lower sodium kind) 1/8 teaspoon fish sauce 2 tablespoons brown sugar Juice of one lime Juice of one clementine 1 teaspoon wasabi paste 2 tablespoons corn starch 1/2 cup water 1 healthy squeeze of sriracha 2 teaspoons dried ginger 3 cloves minced garlic I whisked all that together and added the chicken to it.

In the meantime, I heated a bit of canola oil over medium high heat in a large skillet, and threw a bag of frozen Asian vegetables (a mix of snow peas, onions, water chestnuts, and peppers), a crown of broccoli Please see FORK, page 9B

WHITE CHOCOLATE IS NOT TECHNICALLY CHOCOLATE because it contains no cocoa liquor, but by any definition it is delicious.

Sweet indulgence

White chocolate a divine confection

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

Chocolate gets top billing in the pantheon of sweets this time of year.

It seems it’s impossible to go anywhere without seeing ribbonwrapped truffle boxes, sculpted edible roses or someone balling up a foil wrapper, co-

coa scent on his or her breath.

But what of the dark stuff’s albino cousin?

White chocolate barely gets a mention, unless your Valentine prefers it over milk or dark.

In fact, it gets so little love that the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t even classify it as chocolate.

Yes, despite its name, white chocolate doesn’t contain any cocoa liquor, which the FDA has determined must be present for an item to be labeled solely “chocolate.”

Rather, white chocolate is simply cocoa butter combined with milk-derived ingredients and sweetener. Now, cocoa butter does come from

the cacao bean — cocoa butter is created in the process that extracts and refines cocoa liquor.

White chocolate’s FDA “identity” has been established since 2002, but didn’t come with a name change, despite the classification.

Identity and names aside, now is as good a time as any to give

white chocolate some love. The confection’s creamy sweet flavor is mild enough to be enjoyed in several combinations, but it pairs especially well with berries and, of course, its attention-loving cousins milk and dark.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RECIPES White Chocolate prepared pan. Bake 30 35 minutes, or until Covered Brownies to brownies pull away from

1 cup butter or margarine (2 sticks) 2 cups sugar 4 large eggs, slightly beaten 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 (12-ounce) bag white chocolate chips for melting Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking pan.

Set aside.

Place butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until melted but not hot. Pour melted butter into a large mixing bowl; blend in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add remaining ingredients, except for white chocolate chips; stir until combined.

Spread batter into

sides of pan. Remove from oven, and cool completely before cutting. Place cut brownies in freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Place white chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl; microwave 25 to 30 seconds, stir. Continue microwaving for an additional 15 seconds, stir again.

Repeat this process until white chocolate is melted.

Dip frozen brownie so it is completely covered in white chocolate. Set on parchment paper to dry.

Serves 24.

Store brownies in an airtight container for up to one week refrigerated, or in the freezer for one month.

Tip: For best results, freeze brownies approximately 2 hours before dipping into white chocolate. This will help prevent crumbs from falling into the melted chocolate.

Dear Crushed: See a lawyer immediately.

Whatever Clifford decides, you must protect yourself financially in the interim. Make the necessary arrangements to manage on your own should that turn out to be the case. We also recommend you get some counseling to help you deal with the uncertainty of your situation and prepare for the possibility that your marriage is

over. How long you are willing to stay in limbo is up to you, but don’t feel pressured to rush into anything. Clifford may ask for a divorce, he might return to you, or you could get tired of waiting and want out.

Dear Annie: My husband and I both work and make good incomes.

He has two daughters, now aged 16 and 19, and I have been their stepmom for 12 years. I love them dearly.

Last Christmas, each child received nearly $400 in cash gifts from the extended family. A week later, both girls saw jackets they wanted. I said we would pay half and they could use some of their Christmas money to contribute the other half. One chose to buy a $140 jacket. The other decided not to buy anything. I find that they

Back to future for CBS News CBS News takes a page from the distant past and reintroduces the special “Person to Person” (7 p.m.) to a new generation.

TV journalist Edward R. Murrow, best remembered for his serious news reports and commentary, also hosted lighter fare, including the original “Person to Person.” Using the latest “coast to coast” cable technology of the early 1950s, Murrow would sit, chain-smoking in his New York office, and conduct live interviews with movie stars and entertainers in their Hollywood homes.

Audiences marveled at television’s ability to be in two places at once, but mostly tuned in to see the homes of stars like Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.

I watched several of these old “Person” installments when they were released on DVD, and they were remarkable. Murrow would make pleasant conversation as Leigh conducted a tour of the kitchen, and later Curtis would take Murrow and viewers to another room to show off his proudest possession: a set of model trains.

It was a simpler time.

In a nod to art imitating life, cohosts Lara Logan and Charlie Rose will interview George Clooney in his Los Angeles home. Clooney directed “Good Night, and Good Luck,” a 2005 drama starring David Strathairn as Edward R. Murrow. Other guests include musician Jon Bon Jovi and investor Warren Buffett.

Less than a week after Groundhog Day, “Nature” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “Raccoon Nation,” a look at how these fastidious and clever garbage-pickers have learned to live with humans, particularly in urban areas. Some scientists theorize that efforts to keep raccoons out of our trash cans only stimulates their problem-solving skills, leaving us with generations of smarter critters.

Tonight’s other highlights

The talent contest proceeds in Hollywood on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

A father-and-son encounter on “Mobbed” (8 p.m., Fox).

Phil seems clueless as a new business partner (Greg Kinnear) flirts inappropriately with Claire on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

“NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS) looks at a difficult surgical effort to separate conjoined twins.

A murder victim’s wig obsession may have been her undoing on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

Shifting alliances on “Revenge” (9 p.m., ABC).

BIRTHDAYS Composer-conductor John Williams is 80. Newscaster Ted Koppel is 72. Actor Nick Nolte is 71. Comedian Robert Klein is 70. Actor-rock musician Creed Bratton is 69. Actress Brooke Adams is 63. Actress Mary Steenburgen is 59.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, Feb. 8: This year you unravel a longterm issue by remaining gentle and caring. Others feel safer with you, no matter what type of relationship you have. If you are single, you might see a change in a major relationship, waving on more of what you want. If you are attached, don’t test your sweetie’s patience. VIRGO understands you perhaps far too well.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Of course effort counts, but having some charisma on your side can only help.

Show your concern as well when dealing with an associate who might not be doing what you want. Listen to your sixth sense with a friend. Tonight: As you like.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) The only mistake you can make is holding yourself back. You know what works well for you. Let your imagination come forward. Tonight: Some matters are best kept a secret.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Understand what is happening within your immediate domestic circle. You hear news that doesn’t feel quite complete.

You don’t need to comment — the less said the more that will come forward. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Keep conversations moving, and realize where you want to go with a situation. Others might not be as grounded as you would like. You might have to go over certain points, not once, but several times. Tonight: Meet up with a friend.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Curb a need to be possessive or to overspend. You will be a lot happier if you use some self-discipline. Tonight: Relax with friends.

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Clifford” for 36 years. He recently told me he is in love with his secretary and wants to be with her. Did I mention she is 23 and in the process of getting a divorce?

Clifford is the last person I would have expected to do this. I know I can be difficult, but he’s not perfect, either. I love him and thought he felt the same. He says he doesn’t know whom he wants to be with, but he spends all his time with his girlfriend, so I don’t have much of a chance of getting him back.

We have two grown children who are totally disillusioned and disappointed in their father.
