City earns healthy respect ————

Lawrence is winner of state award, $2,500 for wellness efforts

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence is leading the state when it comes to improving the health of its residents.

A variety of wellness initiatives have started during the past year, including school fitness programs, school gardens, workplace wellness programs, an initiative for restaurants to serve healthier foods and a health website, WellCommons.

The projects aim to reduce the obesity rate by increasing access to local foods and physical activity for all ages. The adult obesity rate in Douglas County is 28.4 percent, according to 2009 data from the Kansas Department of Environ-

ment and Health. That is costing an estimated $38 million in direct health care costs.

“There’s a terrific effort throughout a lot of different entities in the city to develop healthy lifestyles for everybody in Lawrence,” said Doug Vance, executive director of Kansas Recreation and Park Association.

“Lawrence is very impressive.”

The Kansas Recreation and Park Association, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas are honoring the city with a BlueCHIP Award and $2,500.

This is the first year for the award, and it was given

to three different sized communities. Lawrence was in the category of cities that had 50,000 or more residents. Grinnell and Hutchinson also won awards.

The award will be presented to Lawrence during a city commission meeting in early March. The money will be used for wellness programs in Lawrence public schools.

Vance said Lawrence stood out because of the collaborative effort among city, hospital, school, business and nonprofit leaders.

“There is such a wellorganized coalition of health advocates working in partnership to educate the community and to develop projects that are

geared toward healthy lifestyles.”

The projects include:

The project involved hiring WJHS students to plant and tend to the garden.

They also sold their produce during weekly markets. In the fall, the garden provided more than 180 pounds of produce for the school cafeteria.

This year, the project is expanding to two elementary schools — Hillcrest Please see CITY, page 4A

Recession changes landscape for new graduates

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

After entering law school with designs on graduating to a job with a six-figure salary, Geri Hartley found the job market a bit more daunting.

As law school graduates are entering the work force with mounting debt loads, they are f inding a legal marketplace increasingly unfriendly to inexperienced workers.

Hartley has $90,000 in debt from her combined degrees. She is happy in her job as a lawyer in a small firm in Paola, but that wasn’t her original plan.

She had designs on graduating with her J.D. and M.B.A. combination and becoming a general counsel for a large corporation.

Instead, she was unemployed for a while and briefly took a position at H&R Block that didn’t require her to have passed the bar exam.

When she enrolled at KU, she recalled that the two graduates who had her degree combination left for jobs at salaries of $170,000 and $240,000. Her current job pays much less than that, she said.

“It may not be financially rewarding, but there are other things,” she said.

Hartley has more time to spend with her children, she said, and it’s a lot less stressful.

She can at least contribute some to paying down her debt. And, she said, who knows what the future may hold?

Many of her classmates are having a difficult time. Almost none have stayed on their original plans when they went to law school. One is working behind the cosmetics counter at Macy’s, she said. Another creates websites for a living.

Bill Modrcin is a 1978 KU law graduate now working as an attorney in Overland Park. He’s worked for several large Kansas City-area firms, and he’s seen the drop-off in recent years.

On the whole, the industry is doing just fine, he said. Established lawyers in large firms are doing well. But entry-level positions are extremely hard to come Please see LAW, page 2A

To hear the railroads tell it, Kansas was the Garden of Eden. “Temperate Climate, Excellent Health, Pure & Abundant Water,” the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad declared on an advertising flier in 1876.

The “best stock country in the world,” the Kansas Pacific Railway boasted in 1878.

The state was more productive than most, according to an 1870 handbook printed by the Kansas Pacific. Its crops yielded more profit because they were cheaper to raise. Its weather allowed farmers to do more work.

Kansas, the handbook said, offered “unsurpassed grazing” and an “enterprising population.”

The climate, it said in a statement that would be proven wrong more than once in the state’s early decades, “is mild and pleasant.”

The hype worked.

People came to Kansas from around the world in the 1870s, after the Civil War and “Bleeding Kansas” days had ended.

In large part, the new immigrants made the prairie into productive farmland and shaped our future.

They farmed the land and founded towns, and they passed their pioneer hardiness and work ethic to future generations of Kansans.

They came from Croatia, Germany, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, England, France.

They came from Pennsyl-

vania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, New York.

Ethnic groups from foreign lands formed colonies all over the state, retaining their languages, customs and cultures and passing them on.

They came for land and opportunity, and also to escape religious persecution, poverty and compulsory military service in their Please see RAILROADS, page 2A ● List puts notable

DEATHS

Railroads helped build Kansas

ALVIN EARL DANIELS Services for Alvin Earl Daniels, 90, Lawrence, are pending and will be announced by Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home & Crematory.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Mr. Daniels died Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Online condolences may be sent at rumsey-yost.com.

ANNA MARIA Z IMMERMAN No services will be held for Anna Maria “Sunny” Zimmerman, 96, Lawrence.

Burial will be in Oak Hill Cemetery.

Mrs. Zimmerman died Saturday, Feb. 12, 2011, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

by, he said.

In the past, good first-year students could find summer clerkships relatively easily, and most graduates could count on finding a high-paying job.

“It’s no longer the golden ticket it used to be,” Modrcin said.

These issues were brought to the forefront in an article last month in The New York Times. It told how many law schools massaged employment statistics and still painted a rosy employment picture.

Todd Rogers, assistant dean for career services at KU, read and responded to the article on KU Law School’s blog. KU has seen employment figures shrink, but it’s reported the dips as they’ve been discovered.

KU figures showed that more than 4 percent fewer graduates were employed nine months after graduation in 2009 than the year before, Rogers said, but the university wasn’t afraid to submit the figures to U.S. News & World Report. The stats play heavily in the magazine’s closely watched university rankings.

Rogers encouraged prospective students to press for more detailed employment statistics when shopping for law schools and not to stop at the rankings.

For example, one metric measures how many graduates are working in posts that require admission to the bar nine months after graduation.

That weeds out, say, grads working as waiters at Applebee’s.

“If you’re going to law school to be a lawyer, that’s the information you need,” Rogers said.

And, as could be expected, recent years have seen those stats slide downward at KU. After years of percentages in the high 60s and low 70s, in 2009 KU fell more than 12 percentage points to 62.2 percent.

That’s in comparison to its much higher figure of 89 percent of its graduates who were working at all. The U.S. News & World Report rankings ask for those figures so that’s what the school provides, Rogers said.

Both Rogers and Hartley said it was important for people looking to go to law school to become good consumers and know what to ask for when applying.

It’s important to remember that law schools operate like many other private enterprises, Hartley said. “They’re an educational institution,” she said, “but in the end, they’re still businesses.”

KU will release a new set of employment statistics later this month, Rogers said, and it will be interesting to get a fresh set of facts to share with prospective and current students.

“We want to try to be as transparent as possible,” he said.

home countries.

“From the beginning we’re being shaped by people of different backgrounds, particularly parts of Europe, but also African-Americans and Native Americans,” said Virgil Dean, editor of Kansas History: A Journal of the Central Plains and publications director for the Kansas Historical Society.

“It’s kind of symbolic of the story of America.”

Railroad promotions The railroads, trying to sell the millions of acres given to them by the U.S. government to grow their business, promoted Kansas all over Europe and Russia and the rest of the American states.

“The railroads were highly privileged, and the Supreme Court supported them lock, stock and barrel,” said Robert Linder, history professor at Kansas State University. “They were able to make fortunes off settling the Great Plains.”

Railroads offered free or reduced-rate transportation to Kansas, and settlers from overseas could bring all of their household goods at a railroad’s expense.

It wasn’t always a pleasant way to travel. The authors of an 1859 handbook offering advice to prospective settlers of the Kansas and Rocky Mountain territories cautioned that they “will probably have to put up with a sleeping cot in the saloon — a style of nocturnal accommodation which is exceedingly uncomfortable to persons unaccustomed to Western travel.”

The restaurants on the trains were run by “very avaricious and inhospitable persons” out to swindle diners, they wrote.

“Frequently, too, the food is filthy, bread badly baked and unwholesome; the tea and coffee cold, or so bitter and black that they are far from furnishing an agreeable repast,” they wrote.

And yet, people came. In 1860, a year before Kansas became a state, its population was 107,000. By 1875, it had grown to more than half a million.

Germans were the largest group of foreign immigrants to Kansas. Some came from Germany, but many came from the Volga River in southern Russia, where they excelled in agriculture and were drawn to Kansas by railroad posters.

But before the Volga Germans came, they sent five scouts to investigate. They were wary about the new territory after what had happened to them in Russia.

They had left their native Germany on promises from Catherine the Great of exemption from military service, freedom from taxation and free land. These privileges had slowly disappeared.

One of the scouts was Anton Wasinger, great-

grandfather of Leona W. Pfeifer of Hays. He and four other men came to America in 1874 to look at the territory and returned to Russia with some soil samples and a favorable report.

A year later, groups of Volga German colonists came over by ship, then traveled by train to Topeka, where they spent the winter before moving west and starting villages in Ellis and Rush counties, each with its own dialect.

“They were a hard-working people, very reliable,” said Pfeifer, who speaks with a trace of a German accent.

Self-reliance was important to them. They were ridiculed in newspapers for their dress, speech and customs, Pfeifer said, so they developed a mistrust of outsiders.

“They didn’t get any help from anybody, so they had to take care of themselves,” Pfeifer said.

Haven for ex-slaves Kansas, where anti-slavery forces had prevailed in its “Bleeding Kansas” days, became a haven for former slaves.

W.R. Hill, a white land speculator in Nicodemus in Graham County, traveled through the South to sell the state to African-Americans still burdened by Jim Crow laws. He promised that they could own their own land, build their own town and govern themselves.

Angela Bates’ family was among the first group of 350 to make the five-day trip from Kentucky by train in 1877.

Most of them had never been on a train.

And they didn’t like what they saw when they crossed the Flint Hills into Graham County — barren terrain where the few residents of Nicodemus lived in earthen dugouts.

“There was nothing except a few holes in the ground,” Bates said.

About 60 returned to Kentucky.

More came as part of the exodus of former slaves from

the South, but it took strong spiritual resolve to remain, Bates said.

Those who did built the town rapidly in the 1880s, replacing the dugouts with successful stores and businesses.

Bates, who worked to get Nicodemus designated as a national historic site, said the town “represents us and what we did with freedom. It became the icon of our ability to self-govern and make it on our own.”

“These people had tenacity,” she said. “They took freedom and did something with it.”

Nicodemus failed to attract railroad lines in the late 1880s, and its economy declined.

Many residents, including Bates’ parents, were forced to leave. But they took the spiritual values and work ethic of their Nicodemus heritage with them and were able to get middle- to upper-class jobs, she said.

Many of those who left Kansas had sense enough to come back and make Nicodemus their home again.

That includes her father, James Bates, 83, who still farms a mile north of Nicodemus.

Laughable conditions Those who settled Kansas occasionally may have found conditions as agreeable as the railroads had advertised.

But they also faced drought, harsh winters and summers, jackrabbit attacks, grasshopper infestations, dust storms, financial downturns, and dwindling populations.

In the 1890s, the railroads stopped advertising Kansas.

“People laughed at the railroad enthusiasms that once so gripped them,” the late Wichita State University history professor Craig Miner wrote in “West of Wichita: Settling the High Plains of Kansas, 1865-1890.”

A Mitchell County schoolteacher wrote in her diary in 1881: “This is a hard place to live, this Kansas is. I wonder what in the world will become of us, anyway?”

Wild cat killed near KU’s West Campus

By Brianne Pfannenstiel bpfannenstiel@ljworld.com

A wild cat was found dead in the 2200 block of Bob Billings Parkway, near Kansas University’s West Campus, on Sunday evening.

Douglas County dispatchers said the cat was already dead when a passerby called it in. It was found in the eastbound lane of traffic and was cleared by city sanitation workers.

World Company employee Mike Brock saw the cat as he was driving to work a little before 7 p.m. He said he was struck by the fact that there were three police cars responding to the scene, and he slowed to look. He said the cat appeared larger than a bobcat and may have been spotted like a leopard.

Reports of mountain lion or wild cat sightings near West Campus go back at least to 2003.

In October 2003, Mark Jakubauskas, then a research assistant professor for the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program with the Kansas Biological Survey, set up a motion detection-triggered wildlife camera. He captured a photo of what appeared to be a large cat. At the time, state wildlife officials had resolutely denied that big cats existed in Kansas.

A couple of months later, in December 2003, Jakubauskas reported that a DNA analysis of a feces sample from KU's West Campus confirmed that a cougar left the droppings.

The West Campus mountain lions have since risen to urban legend status as more

BRIEFING

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Obama sending budget to Congress President Barack Obama will send Congress today a $3 trillion-plus budget for 2012 that promises $1.1 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade by freezing many domestic programs for five years, trimming military spending and limiting tax deductions for the wealthy.

Jacob Lew, the president’s budget director, said Sunday that the new spending plan for the 2012 would disprove the notion that “we can do this painlessly ... we are going to make tough choices.”

Republicans rejected that appraisal, castigating Obama for proposals that will boost spending in such areas as education, public works and research, and charging that Obama’s cuts are not deep enough.

They vowed to push ahead with their own plans to trim $61 billion in spending from the seven months left in the current budget year and then squeeze Obama’s 2012 budget plan for billions of dollars in additional savings in response to voters alarmed at an unprecedented flood of red ink.

Military rulers dissolve parliament Egypt’s military rulers took sweeping action to dismantle the autocratic legacy of former President Hosni Mubarak on Sunday, dissolving parliament, suspending the constitution and promising elections in moves cautiously welcomed by pro-democracy protesters.

They also met with representatives of the broadbased youth movement that brought down the government after an 18-day uprising that transfixed the world.

The caretaker government, backed by the military, said restoring security was a top priority even as labor unrest reflected one of the many challenges of steering the Arab world’s biggest nation toward stability and democracy.

On Sunday, prominent activist Wael Ghonim posted on a Facebook page he manages notes from a meeting between members of the military council and youth representatives, which he described as encouraging.

The military defended the caretaker government, stocked with Mubarak loyalists, as necessary for now in the interests of stability but pledged to soon change it, said Ghonim and another protester, Amr Salama, in the statement.

A bill to abolish the Kansas Board of Regents and State Board of Education and allow the governor to appoint a secretary of education has been drafted for the Legislature but isn’t getting much traction.

Several attempts have been made to change the Kansas Constitution to do away with the 10member State Board of Education, but voters have rejected those measures. The education board, which oversees kindergarten through 12th grade, is elected.

The nine-member regents board, which oversees higher education, is appointed by the governor. The regents seem to have a lot of support among legislative leaders.

“I don’t know that I would want them (the Regents) included in that (proposal),” said Senate President Steve Morris, R-Hugoton.

Lady Antebellum grabs 5 Grammys Lady Antebellum was the big winner at the Grammys with five awards, including record and song of the year for the band’s yearning crossover ballad “Need You Now,” but rockers Arcade Fire won Sunday’s biggest prize, album of the year, for “The Suburbs.”

Eminem perhaps had reason to be stunned as well. Though nominated for a leading 10 awards, including record, song, and album of the year, he took home just two — both in the rap categories, for best album and solo performance.

The true upset, however, came as Esperanza Spalding — a jazz bassist and singer who sold a fraction of Justin Bieber’s music and is perhaps best identified by her voluminous Afro — beat the perfectly coifed 16-year-old pop phenomenon, and also Florence & the Machine, Mumford & Sons and Drake for best new artist.

She is the first jazz artist to ever win the category.

City questions effects of proposed sand pit

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

The city of Eudora has concerns over a proposed sand pit that staff says doesn’t fit with development policies and is too close to the city’s water supply.

On Feb. 23, the LawrenceDouglas County Planning Commission and the Eudora Planning Commission will host a joint hearing on a conditional use permit for a sand pit operation that would sit along North 1500 Road.

Developer Kaw Valley Companies is proposing the pit on land that was once home to a private nine-hole golf course. Kaw Valley plans to excavate sand from the site and run a sorting and washing facility. Dredging won’t be part of the operation.

The open dredge pit will encompass 114 acres of the 197 acres. Within that section of land will be a 6.3-acre area where the sand will be stored, dried and removed for use. The land will be mined in 16 phases over the mine’s estimated 30-

year life. When the mining is complete, the pit will be turned into a lake.

Next door to the property is the city of Eudora’s well field, the main water supply for its residents.

Consultants hired by the developer issued a report stating the sand pit wouldn’t have any impact on the city’s wells. Eudora City Manager John Harrenstein said the city is having that report reviewed.

“We want to make sure there is zero chance of impacting the

traveling was something he wanted to work into his life.

“I went to Nigeria, and I really got the overseas bug.

There’s something about traveling, especially in the off-thebeaten-path places, that is so much fun and such a lifeenriching experience,” he said.

“It makes you see your own country with big, wide new eyes, and I just got hooked.”

After Nigeria, Stover came back to the United States and went to medical school at Washington University in St. Louis. While there, he went to Malawi for a six-week program, which reminded him of his love for travel and helping others.

“It had almost been long enough since I got back from Nigeria that I had kind of forgotten what it was all about in the first place,” he said.

While in school, he also traveled to Botswana and Guatemala for classes.

Extended trips abroad He returned to Malawi from July 2008 to June 2009 for Doctors Without Borders, which members call MSF for the French name of the organization, Medecins Sans Frontieres.

Southern Sudan came next, where he spent the first six months of 2010. After a short month back in Kansas, and he headed to Mongolia to distribute winter preparedness supplies.

“I go away for a long time, and then I come and I hang out with everyone all at once,” he said.

In Sudan, Stover was part of a program providing maternal and child care, with about 15 expatriates and about 200 local staff.

In Mongolia, he was one of two expatriates, accompanied by translators and a driver. The duo were distributing drugs to rural hospitals, as well as kits containing basic medical supplies to 3,000 families.

Mongolian winters see temperatures dropping to minus 40 degrees, and for people who largely live off their livestock, a particularly harsh winter can take away their livelihood. The kits full of Tylenol, Vaseline, bandages and other supplies were meant to help fight illnesses that come with the weather.

Most of the kits went to rural families, many who were nomadic and moved four or five times per year. Despite having houses that could be completely dismantled, many had solar panels to power televisions for entertainment.

“There’s not a lot of entertainment out there,” Stover said. “They’re so excited to see you, especially if you’re a foreigner.”

Stover was also assessing the tuberculosis situation in Mongolia, where the disease is one of the top killers. He visited facilities and monitored how they contained infections, and rarely did he run into people who weren’t open to his training.

“Every place I’ve been, there are definitely some traditional beliefs and some traditional remedies for things, but at least the places I’ve worked with realize there’s a place for Western medicine in their mind,” he said.

Home for a while Now that he’s back from Mongolia, he plans to stick around the country for a while and get some stability into his life. His training is in emergency medicine. He knows someday he will start traveling again and working to make the world a better place.

“It just doesn’t feel quite right to sit back here in the United States, where everything is really nice, and not do things in the rest of the world,” he said.

And he thinks Americans could learn a thing or two from the people he’s met on his travels, even though many of those people are very poor and have problems in their lives Americans might never experience.

“We don’t have it all figured out in the West in general, and the United States in particular. There are a lot of ways to do things and there are a lot of ways to live your life,” he said.

“Being away for a long time makes me appreciate being home so much more, especially Lawrence.”

Bakery offers late-night delivery of milk and cookies CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Bakery, Rafferty didn’t think twice about asking Olsen, whom he had met through church.

Since joining the company as part-owner, Olsen has logged about 300 hours just in perfecting the products she sells. Original recipes for chocolate chip, sugar, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle, peanut butter and double fudge cookies were the end result.

“I hate cookies by now,” she said, laughing.

The business While the product was being perfected, the business base needed to be established. Will McCullough, another of Rafferty’s friends, stepped in as the business mind, handling all the company’s accounting and tax requirements. With an effective team in place, the three began working to get their fledgling business up and running.

One main concern was finding a kitchen that would meet the company’s needs.

Rafferty said the three were half expecting to work out of someone’s basement but were pleasantly surprised when they found a small corporate kitchen near campus to rent.

“It was a gift from God,” Olsen said.

There were also legal hurdles that the business had to clear before it could open to the community. Lucky You Bakery had to apply for and obtain a food permit from the state as well as get its kitchen inspected. McCullough and Rafferty paid the fees out of pocket to help keep overhead

Up and running With a working website, social media accounts, and after numerous trial delivery runs, Lucky You Bakery finally opened for business on Jan. 28. The bakery delivers from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. Thursdays and from 7 p.m. until 2 a.m.

Fridays and Saturdays.

Olsen and Rafferty lament they still have homework to do if they want to graduate this year. On their four days off, the trio of owners have time to reflect on what they can do differently.

“With each week we’re getting smoother and smoother,” Rafferty said.

“And better and better.”

Sales in the f irst three weeks of business have steadily increased, with

enough money made to cover nearly all the bakery’s monthly bills. And with increasing sales, Rafferty said he hopes the bakery can eventually start giving back to the community. He wants a percentage of every sale to benefit local organizations.

“We are just really blessed with a really good community here,” Rafferty said.

And while many business ventures focus mainly on the bottom line, Rafferty said Lucky You Bakery also wants to keep community and friendship at the forefront.

“If we lose our friendships and this bakery thrives, that’s a failure to us,” he said. “We’d rather grow together in the community and have the bakery do OK.”

Coming up next Rafferty and Olsen, who were working the past weekend, said they would like to see the business expand to more than what it is now. They said they’d like to add brownies to the menu and eventually have a cart downtown and a storefront for customers to visit. Online ordering is also somewhere on the horizon.

For now, McCullough, Rafferty and Olsen want to get better at what they’re already doing.

“It’s making sure our product is good,” Rafferty said.

“It’s fast delivery times and really wowing the customer.”

Prices for the cookies are $6 for six, of any combination, or $12 for 13. Coffee and white or chocolate milk can also be ordered. To place an order, customers can call 8651466.

Judge creates survey to feature notable Kansans

By Brenna Hawley bhawley@ljworld.com

The Kansas sesquicentennial may have passed, but one Kansas judge is looking to recognize eminent Kansans and remind people of the history of the state.

Judge Joseph Pierron and the Kansas Bar Association are distributing an online survey of more than 150 names of notable Kansans. Pierron and organizers want students, educators and the public to vote on who they think is most important, and a list of the top 15 will be released this spring.

Pierron, a judge on the Kansas court of appeals and Lawrence resident, saw other cities that had put together lists of eminent people and thought it would be fitting for Kansas’ 150th birthday.

Together with his wife and a couple other lawyers, he came up with a list of people who might fit that bill.

“I knew a lot of them and I knew some Kansas history myself,” he said. “There were a significant number of people I did not know about and was quite interested to find out what they had done.”

After finalizing his list, Pierron put together a survey on surveymonkey.com. He also researched the backgrounds of many of the people on the list, which can be downloaded from the survey.

“History is very important.

If you don’t know where you come from, it’s a lot harder to f igure out where you’re going,” he said. “I think it’s inspiring to read about people who did amazing things and sometimes started out with so little.”

The survey will end on

March 15, after which the top vote-getters will be compiled.

Pierron said he’s interested to see who makes the list: older figures such as Carry Nation or Dwight David Eisenhower, or pop culture figures such as Paul Rudd.

On the survey, there’s a separate question asking whether John Brown was an eminent person or not, a perception Pierron said has changed throughout the years.

“There’s been a change on historical outlook on him.

Recently there has been more

sympathy raised,” he said.

“We ought to lay it out there and let people think about it, and give people the opportunity to think about historical characters.”

The 15 top Kansans will be distributed in an electronic newsletter from the Kansas Bar Association and be published on their website.

To take the survey, visit surveymonkey.com/s/150kan sans-public.

Capitol briefing: news from Statehouse CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Senate Democratic Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said the status quo is fine with both boards and he was “befuddled” by the proposal to abolish the regents. The measure will receive a hearing before the House Education Committee.

Extra inauguration funds could be donated Gov. Sam Brownback is pushing for approval of Senate Bill 67, which would allow incoming governors to donate leftover gubernatorial inauguration funds to a charitable organization.

Before taking office, Brownback had said he wanted leftover funds from his inaugural ball, which raised money through ticket sales and cash contributions from supporters, to go to charity. But state law requires that the money go toward the swearing-in ceremony and upkeep of Cedar Crest, the governor’s residence.

“And I believe those who give their financial support to an inauguration would want the residual funds go to an organization whose mission is to assist Kansans in need of a hand up rather than used to supplement the budget of a governmental agency,” Brownback, a Republican, said in

written testimony to the Senate Elections Committee.

Sen. Kelly Kultala, D-Kansas City, quipped that maybe Brownback wanted to donate his leftover funds to the Kansas Arts Commission, which Brownback wants to abolish.

Rules proposed for candidate PSAs The controversy over elected officeholders running public service announcements, which appear to be self-serving, close to an election has been a running dispute over the past couple of election cycles.

Two bills would rein in candidates. Under the measures, neither the candidate, image of the candidate nor the name of the candidate may appear in state agency-sponsored public service announcements or advertisements 60 days prior to the primary or general election in the year his or her name appears on the ballot.

Speaker looks to prevent filling up state prisons House Speaker Mike O’Neal, R-Hutchinson, has cautioned legislators about approving legislation that provides incarceration for nonviolent offenses. There are a multitude of such proposals in the hopper, including providing prison time

for identity theft and home improvement fraud. With the state prison system nearly full, O’Neal said he would rather prison space be available for violent offenders than nonviolent ones.

What’s next: ● 3:30 p.m. today: Hearing on House Concurrent Resolution 5006, proposed constitutional amendment prohibiting executive branch or judiciary from directing Legislature on appropriations, before House Judiciary Committee, Room 346-South, Capitol. ● 3:30 p.m. Tuesday: Hearing on House Bill 2254, establishing “covenant” marriages, before House Judiciary Committee, 346-South, Capitol. ● 1:30 p.m. Wednesday: Hearing on House Bill 2249, adding bath salts to controlled substances schedule, before House Corrections and Juvenile Justice Committee, Room 144-South, Capitol. ● 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday: Hearing on House Bill 2218, abortion regulation based on pain to fetus, before House Federal and State Affairs Committee, Room 346South, Capitol. ● 3:30 p.m. Thursday: Hearing on House Bill 2260, preservation of religious freedom act, before House Judiciary, Room 346-South, Capitol.

Eudora officials question sand pit effects CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

groundwater. The same finding was made by the expert the developer hired. The pit would have no more pollutants than surface water, he said.

Well fields aside, the city also takes issue on how the sand pits fit within its planning policies. The sand pit is outside the city’s boundaries, but within the boundaries where future growth could occur.

By not having direct access to Kansas Highway 10 and being within the 100-year floodplain, the proposed sand pit falls short of two of the city’s planning policies.

“The city does want to encourage industrial development with direct access to K-10 and outside of the 100year floodplain. And several

sites call for it to happen,” said Scott Michie, a consultant with Bucher, Willis and Ratliff, which is the planning adviser for the city. And, there are plenty of other sites in Douglas County that sit along the Kansas and Wakarusa rivers where a sand pit operation could go, Michie said.

Developers picked the site because it was available and rich in sand, Banks said. Most of the material will be hauled on Kansas Highway 32 toward Kaw Valley’s headquarters in Wyandotte County, not through Eudora and onto K10.

And, Banks said, the concerns associated with building in a floodplain — such as elevating the site, having equipment that won’t come loose during a flood and using industrial pollutants —

will be addressed in the plans.

“If you don’t have a sand pit in a floodplain, I’m not sure where you put it,” Banks said.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission and Eudora Planning Commission will make separate recommendations that will be passed on to the Douglas County Commission.

The county commissioners are scheduled to hold a hearing on April 20.

Along with obtaining a conditional use permit from Douglas County, the developers must receive approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The agency will take public comments on the developer’s proposal until Feb. 28.

WHY DO I HEAR...

BUT NOT UNDERSTAND? Study by Cambridge University in England Reveals Key Answer

Until recently, there was no practical way to identify dead regions of hearing cells in the ear. However, a new British-developed procedure using standard test equipment now allows for identification of dead hearing cell regions. The study suggests that the presence or absence of dead regions may have serious implications in the fitting of hearing aids.

This research reveals that amplifying dead cells is a mistake which will result in poorer speech understanding in noise. A new type of digitally programmable microcircuit is now available using nanoScience technology that can be programmed to bypass the dead cells. As a result, the patient’s usable hearing cells receive amplification, thereby improving speech understanding in noise. “We are employing a

KDOT pledges $550,000 to make intersection safer

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

The Kansas Department of Transportation has agreed to spend $550,000 to fix a dangerous intersection near the Baldwin Elementary School Primary Center.

The intersection of U.S. Highway 56 and East 1600 Road is one of 13 sites in the state that will receive funding as part of KDOT’s corridor management plan, which works to address traff ic problems that arise on busy roads.

For Baldwin City residents, concerns over safety at the intersection were exacerbated in August when the newly built school opened.

Each morning, traffic backs up in the westbound lane of U.S. 56 as drivers wanting to turn onto the road that leads to the school must stop and wait for oncoming traffic to pass. Because the intersection is on a hill and at a spot with poor sight distance, residents fear a high-speed rearend collision.

KDOT’s $550,000 would cover the construction costs of extending U.S. 56’s existing three-lane highway through Baldwin City by 640 feet.

That three-lane road would allow for a left-hand turn lane at the East 1600 Road intersection.

Work on the intersection is slated for the summer of 2013. KDOT had considered completing the project sooner but wanted to incorporate the upgrades into another U.S. 56 project that would replace bridges along that stretch of road, said Jessica Upchurch, who is KDOT’s corridor management engineer.

KDOT would cover the construction costs while local communities would have to come up with the money to cover the design of the project, utility relocation and right-of-way purchase.

The cost to local governments is est i m a te d a t $140,000.

Last fall, Douglas County Commissioners agreed to cover up to 60 percent of the local governments’ portion of the project, but only if

New terminal hinges on airfare subsidy

by Associated Press Sports Editors

Without the state subsidy, AirTran would leave Wichita, he said. Ticket prices charged by other airlines would likely rise and passenger traffic would fall. That would cut in to the income from fees paid by air passengers and taxpayers might have to step in to fill the gap.

“The recovery looks like it’s coming and all of the leading economic indicators are looking more solid,” Longwell said.

“And we’ve started to see an increase in travelers through Mid-Continent already, so it looks pretty promising that it will keep going.”

Some lawmakers say keeping the $5 million subsidy program appears likely despite other budget cuts.

Gov. Sam Brownback included the project in his budget.

Part of the calculations is that Southwest Airlines is in the process of buying AirTran. The subsidies and approval for a new terminal will bolster the city’s efforts to land Southwest Airlines.

A spokesman for Southwest said no decision has been made on whether Southwest will keep service in Wichita after the acquisition of AirTran.

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD ● LJWorld.com ● Monday, February 14, 2011

EDITORIALS

Border concerns A new report raising alarm about the U.S.-Canada border may finally spur more action on protecting our national borders.

N

ow that U.S. senators from northern states that share a border with Canada are taking a bigger interest in that open and unguarded 4,000-mile border, maybe they, too, will become more excited about the high risk for terrorists getting a free pass into this country.

Until recently, about the only senators and representatives showing any concern about the deplorable situation along the U.S.-Mexico border were those from Arizona, California, Texas and New Mexico. The rest of the country, and the White House, gave lip service to the situation, but there has been little meaningful and effective action to stop the increasing number of illegal crossings.

However, a recent report by the Senate Homeland Security Committee said Americans face a high risk of terrorist activity along the 4,000-mile U.S.-Canada border, only 1 percent of which is adequately protected.

Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., said, “To me, this report is absolutely alarming.” The chairman of the Senate committee said the border, which extends from Maine to Washington state, is providing “easy passage into America by extremists, terrorists and criminals whose purpose clearly is to harm American people.”

The Senate committee report said the northern border poses a higher risk to public safety now than the U.S.-Mexico border.

Lieberman pointed out the northern border is nearly twice as long and is lined with large population centers that make it more difficult to detect criminal activity. In addition, he said Canada now has more Islamist extremist groups than does Mexico.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said with so much focus on securing the U.S.-Mexico border, terrorists “will look to the north to gain entry to the country, looking for the weak link in the system.”

Collins, whose state shares a 600-mile border with Canada, said, “It is truly shocking that we have total control of 32 miles of a 4,000mile border.”

Again, maybe now more senators, Republicans and Democrats, will become alarmed about our sieve-like borders and who is coming into our country. How many of these illegals are not merely Mexicans looking for better jobs and opportunities but rather are welldisciplined, well-trained men and women from countries such as Iran, various African nations and other areas that encourage hatred and violence against the United States? They move into Mexico or Canada, become assimilated to the local culture, learn more about the United States and then walk across the border to blend in with the U.S. landscape, ready to do damage whenever directed.

Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and Californian officials have been asking for help for years, but too few Americans seem to realize the danger. It wasn’t in their backyards. Now, with more lawmakers from states on the U.S.Canada border showing alarm about our leaking borders, maybe they will demand action from the White House.

How much more dangerous does it have to become before a sufficient number in Congress, and the public, say enough is enough and demand tough, effective protection of our borders?

Obama reaching out to mend fences The other day, Barack Obama left the White House, walked across the street and entered the building where Daniel Webster once lived. Today, the United States Chamber of Commerce occupies that hallowed ground, and it is safe to say that until recently the chamber and Obama had little common ground.

But Obama no longer is playing defense in Washington and suddenly is mending fences. He had quite a construction job to perform at 1615 H Street Northwest, but if you read the message the president delivered in the nation’s most sacred temple of capitalism, you might conclude that he put considerable effort into the task.

The man once known as the most liberal senator on Capitol Hill had a few zingers for his new business buddies, arguing that business regulation isn’t really so terrible and maybe even productive, and bidding the guys in suits to put more people in jobs. But mostly he came to build relationships.

Many a truth is said in jest, and here’s the year’s best example: “Maybe if we had brought over a fruitcake when I first moved in, we would have gotten off to a better start.”

Then he added perhaps the most important words of the third year of his presidency thus far: “But I’m going to make up for it.”

Those are words of conciliation for the group perhaps least vulnerable to the magic of the Obama stardust, unless of course you include the people who will be alienated for the mere fact of the president’s having said that — or appearing there.

Right now, however, the president’s problem isn’t on his left, even if the room between Obama and the left is larger than it ever has been. The problem, as he apparent-

David Shribman focus now is “onObama’s winning another term and preserving what he won in the health care debate last year.”

ly sees it, is in the counting houses and among the people Franklin Roosevelt called the “rulers of the exchange of mankind’s goods,” and he means to fix the problem.

The “rulers” phrase is from FDR’s first inaugural address, and in the very next breath the 32nd president excoriated business leaders for having “failed through their own stubbornness and their own incompetence.” That is the sort of idiom some people expected from Obama, and for a time he delivered it, heaps of it.

But that was long ago, or at least a few months ago. Today, Obama drops the name Jeffrey Immelt, the head of the General Electric Co., into his speeches more often than President Ronald Reagan referred to George Gipp, and to similar effect.

Columnists were invented to make connections where none existed before, and so let me introduce into this morning’s discussion last week’s demise of the Democratic Leadership Council, which was created in the wake of former Vice President Walter F. Mondale’s defeat at the hands of Reagan, whose 100th birthday we observe this month.

At the time of the DLC’s birth, in 1985, the party had lost four of the previous five presidential elections (and would go on to lose five of six before it would finally prevail). As a result, a group of moderate Democrats, arguing that the party had become captive to interest-group liberalism, sought to reposition the party.

“We thought the Democratic agenda had to change for the Democratic Party to be successful,” said Will Marshall, who founded the group with his colleague from the staff of former Rep. Gillis Long of Louisiana, Alvin From.

The DLC was controversial from the start. Former Gov. Mario M. Cuomo of New York said it wanted the party to “apologize for sins we never committed.” The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson said the group’s initials stood for “Democrats for the Leisure Class” and characterized it as the “Southern White Boys Club.”

There are lots of reasons for the death of the DLC now, some of them internal, but one of them is that the group won its battle and outlived its usefulness. The Southern White Boys Club elected a Southern white boy president in 1992 — Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas was the group’s president and he put its pulpit, and its ideas, to good use — and then another S.W.B., Vice President Albert Gore Jr. of Tennessee, won the popular vote but not the presidency in 2000.

Now the Democratic president is neither Southern nor white.

But last week he gave a conciliatory speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — a very DLC thing to do.

Indeed, about a minute after he told the chamber he was going to make up for not dropping off that fruitcake, Obama delivered the

sort of boilerplate that might have been prepared for Thomas J. Donohue, who heads the chamber and speaks for American business: “America’s success didn’t happen overnight, and it didn’t happen by accident. It happened because (of ) the freedom that has allowed good ideas to flourish, that has allowed capitalism to thrive; it happened because of the conviction that in this country hard work should be rewarded and that opportunity should be there for anybody who’s willing to reach for it.”

It did not go unnoticed that the president uttered the word “capitalism.”

There is, to be sure, a new struggle inside the Democratic Party, with some of the people who supported Obama wondering what happened to the candidate they knew and loved. But Obama’s focus now is on winning another term and preserving what he won in the health care debate last year.

He’s doing something right — his critics on the left would amend that to say that he is doing something effectively — because the latest Zogby International poll shows his approval rating at 46 percent. It was at 39 percent in November.

Suddenly this is a different president and a different presidency.

The Chamber of Commerce was across Lafayette Park from the White House on the day Obama was inaugurated. But it took a devastating defeat in midterm elections for him to make the walk. He did so last week, and then he talked the talk. The president’s stroll in the park suggests he plans to surprise us again.

To the editor: Government officials and the public need to more closely examine the repercussions of eliminating the Kansas Arts Commission and the effect it will have on our state. Many programs around the state utilize these funds in ways that provide skills needed for growth of their communities through arts-based means.

For instance, Van Go Inc. takes in at-risk youth, identified by school counselors, and teaches them both job and life skills. The students produce works of art, which are sold to the public, and earn wages for their efforts.

paign, said list to reveal the amount of money each supporter gave.

In contrast, individuals donating $1,000 or more to help air a political “issue ad” have enjoyed a cloak of anonymity that encourages ambushing and potshooting their quarry after legal hunting hours, so to speak. As the rounds they fire sizzle across the landscape, we ask who’s doing the shooting. Getting told, “It’s none of your business” violates how we want representative politics to work.

Letting cryptic interest groups influence elections by running non-attributable “issue ads” subverts the democratic process. If Kansas doesn’t dismantle the secrecy that enables this subversion, these political poachers and snipers will only steady their aim and strike anew with impunity.

MoDOT cites cause of I-470 sinkhole KANSAS CITY, MO. — Missouri highway officials say a combination of heavy precipitation and old construction led to the collapse of a section of highway in Kansas City last summer.

A ramp on Interstate 470 in south Kansas City collapsed July 17, leaving a 34-foot-wide, 200-foot-long hole. The highway was closed for 43 days.

The Missouri Department of Transportation said that heavy rain last summer and heavy snow last winter seeped into old fill material from when the highway was built in 1971.

That moisture became trapped behind newer, less permeable material used when the highway was rebuilt in 2003.

Forces built to the point where the embankment supporting the highway slid.

Department Engineer Beth Wright said tests on the old fill material turned up nothing suspicious about its stability.

SUNFLOWER SHOWDOWN

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

No. 1?

Good question A discussion similar to many breaking out across the country took place on ESPN between Mike Patrick and Len Elmore during their call of a Big East game Sunday.

Patrick asked Elmore for his opinion on which school should be ranked No. 1, now that Ohio State, the last of the unbeaten, lost Saturday on the road to Wisconsin.

“Well, I mean, obviously Kansas is the probable No. 1 when you take a look at their record, 24-1,” Elmore said. “But how fair is that to Texas, who went to Kansas and wound up beating Kansas?”

Countered Patrick: “How fair is it to Pittsburgh, with a 23-2 record after knocking off Villanova, in the Big East, not to have them No. 1?”

Elmore: “Yeah, I would say that, but if you’re looking at records, 24-1 versus 23-2, OK, you give the benefit of the doubt to the team that’s lost only one game. But when you’ve got the team that’s right behind them, has already beaten them at their own place, now there’s an argument to be made.”

Based on that logic, UConn should be ranked ahead of Texas, having won an overtime game in Austin. Or, Pittsburgh should get the nod over Texas because the Panthers defeated the Longhorns at Madison Square Garden.

And why give Texas a pass on losing by 17 points at USC? Head-to-head matchups can’t determine rankings because of conflicting results. So what do I do when filling out my ballot?

Look at the entire season and put more emphasis on recent results than early season ones.

As did the conversation between Patrick and Elmore, most discussions of No. 1 exclude Ohio State. Somehow, there seems to be an unwritten rule that if No. 1 loses a game, it’s almost always treated as if the heavyweight champion has been knocked out to lose his crown. Strange.

In fairness, the who’s-No. 1conversation at this point in the season — a meaningless point in the season in terms of rankings, except that it spurs enjoyable arguments — centers on two schools and two alone: Kansas and Ohio State.

San Diego State, which lost by 13 at Brigham Young, joins the Jayhawks and Buckeyes as the only one-loss teams in Division I. The Aztecs don’t face as tough a schedule playing in the Mountain West, so eliminate them from contention for the top spot.

Losing to Wisconsin on the road pretty much equates to losing to Texas at home, so both Kansas and Ohio State have strong arguments for the top spot. Nobody from either fan base has a legitimate gripe if the other school is voted No. 1.

The top five on my ballot: 1.

Kansas, 2. Ohio State, 3. Texas, 4. Pittsburgh, 5. Duke.

Why KU? It has won six in a row, the last five by margins of 17 points or greater.

Kansas likely will be voted No. 1, which will add fuel to the always entertaining Kansas State student body tonight.

That’s a good thing for Kansas.

The tougher the road to the postseason, the better prepared the team.

Should Kansas and Texas win out and face each other in the Big 12 title game, it’s possible both schools could earn a No. 1 bid. At the moment, the battle shapes up as five heavyweights from four conferences battling for four top seeds.

WITH A PURPLE SEA OF KANSAS STATE FANS AS BACKDROP, Kansas forward Marcus Morris (22) launches a three during the Jayhawks’ last trip to Bramlage Coliseum, Jan. 30, 2010. KU returns to the Kansas State arena for the Sunflower Showdown tonight.

Bramlage sure to be rockin’ tonight

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

M A N H A T T A N — Some will be armed with rubber chickens, others merely with creative signs.

Rest assured, almost all of the early-arriving Kansas State University students who attend tonight’s Sunflower Showdown will let Kansas University’s basketball players know what they think of ’em during pre-game drills.

“Yeah, they are probably the worst (as far as yelling insults),” fifth-year KU senior Brady Morningstar said of the Wildcat faithful, sure to be energized for today’s 8 p.m. battle between soon-to-beNo. 1 KU (24-1, 9-1) and unranked KSU (16-9, 4-6).

“They’re also the best. Why wouldn’t you want that, you know?” Morningstar added with a wry smile.

He’s been part of three victories

and one defeat heading into his final go-round in the Little Apple.

“I’d have to say playing at KState in conference play, other KANSAS than Allen Fieldhouse, is my VS. K-STATE favorite place to play. They’ve When: 8 tonight been the best Where: Bramlage games I’ve had Coliseum, since I’ve been Manhattan here, just Records: Kansas is because their 24-1 overall, 9-1 fans are the most Big 12; K-State is rowdy,” Morn- 16-9, 4-6 ingstar said.

“And it always TV: ESPN (cable comes down to a channels 33, 233) last possession. Line: Kansas by Beating every- 51⁄2 body who’s wearing purple is awesome. Just shooting shots ... I know they just hate seeing us hit shots. It’s awesome. Watching us make threes or

do whatever in that game, you just think back it’s so much fun.”

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Morningstar actually used last year’s KState game as inspiration earlier this year when he was slumping from beyond the arc.

“There was an ESPN Classic — us against KState — at KState. I think I had two or three Morningstar threes,” Morningstar said. He hit two of three threes and scored 14 points in KU’s 81-79 overtime victory over the ’Cats last season in Bramlage.

“It’s fun to watch those because you remember what you’re thinking as you were shooting the ball.

It feels good to see your shot go through the net (saying), ‘I know I can shoot.’”

Someday, Morningstar figures to chat with his own children and grandchildren about the KU-KSU rivalry, just as his dad, former KU guard Roger, raised Brady on the rivalry.

“I think it means a lot to everyone here just because it’s another in-state school. Since my dad played here, he has a lot of stories about playing them — their old players and old coaches,” Morningstar said. “Growing up, coming to games here, being a fan, watching K-State and saying, ‘Please don’t beat us, please don’t beat us,’ because you don’t want to go to school all mad the next day because everyone hates K-State or some of your friends might like KState.

KU’s Withey working, eating hard Center chowing down so he can bulk back up

He has to wake up to eat.

“Just a new diet,” the Kansas University center said with a smile. “The eat-everything diet.”

For Withey, who tied a careerhigh with eight points in KU’s 8966 victory over Iowa State on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, gaining weight has required some dedication.

Withey wakes up early only to eat. After chowing down — food like bagels and peanut butter — he goes back to bed.

When he wakes up, he eats again. After class, more food.

“Just eating non-stop,” Withey said. “It’s working right now.”

— Kansas center Jeff Withey pounds earlier this season when a broken foot limited his mobility. He also dropped weight after getting sick this winter.

Slowly, he’s bulking back up.

Withey said with his routine — meant to put on good weight and not just fat — he has gained between eight and nine pounds in the last six weeks.

“I’m working really hard on my strength,” Withey said. “ ...

Everything’s going the right direction.”

The 7-foot sophomore, who played just 22 minutes in KU’s nine Big 12 games before Satur-

day, gave the Jayhawks good production against Iowa State.

In nine minutes, Withey went 3-for-3 from the floor and 2-for2 from the free-throw line, adding two blocks, two rebounds and a steal.

“It’s just his time to step up and show people he can play,” KU forward Marcus Morris said.

“I think that he will.”

Withey’s minutes over the next few weeks should increase while KU forward Thomas Robinson sits out because of a knee injury.

Along with Elijah Johnson and the Morris twins, Withey said that Robinson had been the most supportive during those times he wasn’t playing much.

the 10-year anniversary of his father’s death at the track.

Still, Earnhardt was in an upbeat, joking mood after winning the pole. And while he understands the hype his presence on the pole and his family ties are bound to stir up this week, he’ll mostly try to ignore it.

“I wouldn’t embrace that,” Earnhardt said. “I’m here to race. And I understand the situation, and I’m looking forward to seeing how my

father is honored and remembered throughout the week, and I’ll enjoy that, but I don’t really get into the hypothetical, fairy-tale sort of stuff. I just want to focus on my job.”

Earnhardt’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jeff Gordon, qualified second. It’s the second straight Daytona 500 front-row sweep for Hendrick, who put Mark Martin on the pole and Earnhardt in the No. 2 spot last year.

TAMPA, FLA. — After Cliff Lee spurned the Yankees in December, Brian Cashman downplayed the impact to the rotation.

He was not as nonchalant about it after Andy Pettitte’s retirement news conference at the Stadium.

“It’s obviously incomplete,” Cashman said.

But, reiterating his “patience is our Plan B” mantra from December, the general manager said there was no rush to make the fixes he said would be coming.

“It has to make sense,” Cashman said of any deal.

And so, with the trade market having not yet developed for the kind of starter the Yankees would like to make a deal for, they enter spring training with significant rotation questions.

But when he looks at his team collectively, Cashman doesn’t see a dire situation.

“I think we have an extremely balanced and strong bullpen and a tremendous offense,” Cashman said Friday. “I think we’re excellent in the first three spots in the rotation and planning to break in a rookie in the fifth spot, which is not unheard of.”

The first two points aren’t debatable but the third is. There are few worries surrounding the slimmed-down CC Sabathia, who went 21-7 with a 3.18 earned-run average last season despite pitching much of the year with a small meniscus tear in his right knee that required surgery.

Phil Hughes appears as if he’s made the jump to front-line starter, but his 2010 was far from consistent; 11-2 with a 3.65 ERA in the season’s first half, 7-6 with a 4.90 ERA in the second.

Then there’s A.J. Burnett, coming off a season he himself referred to as “garbage,” causing little argument from Yankees fans.

Cashman and new pitching coach Larry Rothschild are confident the righthander will bounce back, but the 34-year-old has been wildly inconsistent throughout his career.

The Yankees hope to catch lightning in a bottle with veterans Bartolo Colon or Freddy Garcia and to see the continued development of Ivan Nova, who went 1-2 with a 4.50 ERA in 10 appearances — seven starts — last season.

“Nova’s got unbelievable stuff,” Hughes said. “It’s just one of those things where it (the rotation) might not look that great right now but you never know. Hopefully a few guys step up and have good years and breakout years and I think Nova’s a real candidate for that.”

Some of the organization’s top prospects — among them Adam Warren, David Phelps and Hector Noesi — will also be among those competing to fill out the back end of the rotation.

The more likely scenario, of course, is a trade for an arm at some point, whether it be during the spring or once the season starts.

But, rotation concerns aside, as Cashman said, this is a very good team.

The bullpen, with the addition of Rays closer Rafael Soriano, should be among baseball’s best and there’s no reason to think the lineup won’t continue to put up a slew of runs.

“Obviously the talk this year has been our rotation’s not deep right now, but things always tend to kind of work themselves out,” Hughes said. “With the offense we have, you’re going to win a lot of games. I think we’ll be fine.”

Shortstop Derek Jeter said “worry” was too strong a word to use regarding the rotation.

“Certain guys are going to have to step up,” he said. “That’s basically how it goes.

But I wouldn’t use the word worry.”

The rest of the field will be set after a pair of qualifying races Thursday. Bill Elliott, Travis Kvapil and Joe Nemechek also clinched spots in the field, and Terry Labonte is assured of a starting spot.

Having NASCAR’s most popular driver take the green flag first next Sunday could provide some traction for a sport looking to pick up sagging television ratings and attendance.

Boston’s Pierce to have MRI on foot BOSTON — Paul Pierce plans to have an MRI on his left foot today after the second-worst shooting game of his career.

Pierce missed all 10 of his shots and scored one point in the Boston Celtics’ 85-82 victory over the Miami Heat on Sunday.

“I’m just battling a couple of minor injuries to my hand and my foot,” he said. “So I think that really explains my tentativeness and my off shooting today.”

Pierce, a former Kansas University standout, said he sprained his right shooting hand in practice Saturday then was hit on it Sunday.

Pierce “With me playing the way I did and coming up with the win, that’s big for us,” he said.

His poor performance against the Heat was the first time in 1,038 games with the Celtics in the regular season and playoffs when he played more than 25 minutes and missed at least 10 shots. On March 2, 1999, Pierce went 0-for-11 from the field in 25 minutes and finished with two points. On Sunday, he played 39 minutes, 35 seconds.

It was the fourth game in which he didn’t score a field goal. The last time was Dec. 13, 2000, when he went 0-for-7 with nine points in 31 minutes against the Chicago Bulls.

The injuries are the latest in a string of health problems for the Celtics. Swingman Marquis Daniels is out indefinitely after bruising his spine during a 91-80 victory over Orlando on Feb. 6. Backup guard Nate Robinson bruised his right knee in a 92-86 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night and played just 4:45 on Sunday.

The Celtics also are without three big men.

Shaquille O’Neal missed his fifth straight game due to a leg injury, Jermaine O’Neal is expected to be out until early April after arthroscopic knee surgery and Semih Erden is out because of a strained leg muscle.

NBA Kings leave rookie Cousins home PHOENIX — Sacramento rookie DeMarcus Cousins did not make the trip to Phoenix for the game against the Suns on Sunday night because of an incident in the locker room following the Kings’ loss 99-97 home loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Cousins reportedly was upset that teammate Donte Greene had not passed him the ball for the final shot in the game.

Clijsters falls, but will earn No. 1 PARIS — Australian Open champion Kim Clijsters lost to Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, 6-4, 6-3, in the final of the Open Gaz de France on Sunday.

Clijsters still will unseat Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark as the top-ranked player when the new rankings are released today.

Soderling defends Rotterdam title ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS — Top-seeded Robin Soderling of Sweden beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, to defend his title at the ABN Amro World Tennis Tournament on Sunday.

NEW YORK — Pittsburgh Penguins owner Mario Lemieux said the NHL failed in its punishment of the New York Islanders following a fight-filled game between the teams — and went so far as to question whether he wanted to stay in the league.

Lemieux, who had a Hockey Hall of Fame playing career with the Penguins, issued a statement Sunday in which he bashed the league’s handling of the aftermath of Friday night’s 9-3 Islanders victory in which there were 346 penalty minutes, 10 ejections, 15 fighting majors and 20 misconducts.

TENNIS French Open staying put PARIS — The French Tennis Federation voted to keep the French Open at its traditional Roland Garros venue and renovate the existing site by making it considerably larger, more attractive and modern, rather than moving it elsewhere.

Three other venues were bidding to host the clay-court Grand Slam tournament by 2016. The proposed new sites at Versailles, close to the hugely popular Versailles palace, and in the suburbs at Gonesse and Marne-LaVallee were much more expensive because they would have required building from scratch.

GOLF Woods falls short in Dubai

TUESDAY

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES — Tiger Woods stumbled in a bid for his first victory in 15 months Sunday, leaving Alvaro Quiros to win the Dubai Desert Classic with a wild round that included a hole-in-one and triple bogey.

The 70th-ranked Quiros shot a 68 to finish at 11-under 277, one stroke ahead of Anders Hansen (70) and James Kingston (67).

Woods had a 75 to end tied for 20th at 4under 284.

Points claims Pebble Beach win PEBBLE BEACH, CALIF. — D.A. Points won for the first time on the PGA Tour and wasn’t even the biggest star.

Then came Sunday, when Points holed out from 100 yards for eagle on the diabolical 14th at Pebble Beach to take the lead. That carried him to a 5-under 67 and a two-shot victory.

Making it even sweeter, they won the pro-am title, a first for Murray, who now gets his name on the wall below the first tee.

Difference between KU, KSU? Look to paint

Eric Sorrentino esorrentino@ljworld.com

Editor’s note: The following is an entry from Eric Sorrentino’s Conference Chatter blog, which follows features and trends in the Big 12, on KUsports.com.

Distinct tiers have separated Big 12 Conference basketball teams this season.

Let’s call Tier 1 the elite: Texas, Kansas University.

Tier 2 — NCAA Tournament hopefuls: Texas A&M, Baylor, Missouri.

Tier 3 — NCAA Tournament bubble teams: Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas State, Oklahoma State.

Tier 4 — Thanks for playing, come again next year: Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Iowa State.

Tier 1 likely makes up the best two teams in the country right now (Ohio State, Duke and Pittsburgh enthusiasts likely will think otherwise).

This top tier also possesses a unique quality: The Longhorns and Jayhawks have the uncanny ability to win conference road games.

No other tier from the Big 12 can even come close to saying that.

Texas and Kansas are on a completely different level than their Big 12 counterparts. It’s not close. The distance between the aforementioned tiers is widest between Tier 1 and the rest of the Big 12 field.

To illustrate how much space is between Texas/Kansas and the rest of the Big 12, simply take a look at how these teams play on the road.

Texas and Kansas have won more Big 12 road games this season (10) than the other 10 schools combined (nine). That’s embarrassing for the rest of the league.

The Jayhawks and Longhorns are 10-0 on the road in Big 12 play, while the rest of the Big 12 is 9-42 (.176).

So, what gives?

Likely, it means the rest of the league is average to good, at best, with limited NCAA Tournament ceilings.

Missouri, for instance, is a nice team, but the Tigers are 5-0 at Mizzou Arena and 0-5 away from Mizzou Arena in Big 12 play. How can MU pose a threat to reach its first-ever Final Four if it can’t win away from home?

Texas A&M, as another example, reminds me of the Minnesota Twins in recent years. Consistently good, but with a limited ceiling. The Aggies are 3-2 at home and 32 on the road in Big 12 play.

They look very good some nights and mediocre on other nights. The Aggies haven’t done anything to suggest they will make a deep NCAA Tournament run.

Overall, conference teams are 19-42 (.311) on the road this season. It hasn’t been that difficult to win on the road in the Big 12 in eight years. In 2002-2003, Big 12 teams went 28-68 (.292) away from home. To date, that’s been the toughest year (tied with 1996-97) to win on the road.

The conference has 19 road victories in league play in 2010-11. Does the Big 12 have 10 road victories left to pass the low 2002-03 total?

Kansas and Texas only have six combined road games left.

Sad that I’m even looking at it that way.

But it’s reality: No teams other than Kansas or Texas can consistently win away from their home floor, suggesting UT and KU could be the only Big 12 teams making deep tournament runs in March.

COLORADO’S ALEC BURKS (10) WAVES OFF an apparent game-winning three-point shot by Kansas State’s Rodney McGruder (22) on Saturday in Boulder, Colo. McGruder’s shot as time expired did not count, and CU won, 58-56, adding to the Wildcats’ disappointing season.

Up next for Kansas (24-1, 9-1 Big 12): Kansas State on Big Monday, 8 tonight in Manhattan.

It’s been a forgettable year for Kansas State (16-9, 4-6), which was picked by the league’s coaches to win the Big 12 this season. Saturday’s contest at Colorado had to be the most frustrating game yet for the K-State faithful.

The Wildcats were down two with 1.1 seconds left and had possession. Shane Southwell tossed a pass from the sideline to Rodney McGruder, who spun around and drained a remarkable threepointer with Alec Burks draped all over him. Initially, it counted, and the Wildcats went nuts in surrounding McGruder. The refs, however, consulted the monitors and waved off the shot because the ball was on McGruder’s fingertips as the game clock hit zero. CU won, 58-56.

Dreadful way to lose a game. That’s the kind of season it’s been for KSU. The Wildcats needed that game to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. The sudden tugging of such opposite emotions, from the jubilation of hitting a last-second shot to the dreaded heartbreak of having it overturned, can be draining.

How much will K-State have left in the tank after Saturday’s momentum-killer?

Now, to keep their fading NCAA Tournament hopes alive, the Wildcats are faced with the unenviable task of taking on a team that has owned them on their home floor. Kansas is 21-1 all-time at Bramlage Coliseum and 312 against Kansas State since the Big 12’s inception.

KSU must pull a Michael Beasley and Bill Walker in 2008 and defeat KU in Manhattan to save its NCAA Tournament resume.

K-State has a solid RPI (41st in country) and strength of schedule (19th), so the Wildcats could crack the tournament field if they go 8-8 in Big 12 play. For that to happen, KSU would have to finish the season 4-2.

KSU’s schedule the rest of the way: vs. Kansas, vs. Oklahoma, at Nebraska, vs. Missouri, at Texas, vs. Iowa State.

Going 4-2 is possible, with the two obvious losses coming against Kansas and at Texas.

For K-State to make the tournament, however, it needs a signature victory.

Beating Kansas or Texas would qualify, but I don’t see it happening, for a few reasons: ● Sure, Kansas State can rebound with the best of them, and from the games I’ve seen, KSU plays solid defense. But it doesn’t really matter if you can’t put the ball in the hoop. K-State ranks last in the Big 12 in field-goal percentage at .431.

If you watched the KSU-CU game Saturday night, you could probably relate to my wanting to bang my head against the wall in a desire for any semblance of offense from either team. It was painful. ● Furthermore, the Wildcats have struggled from the foul line. OK, so there’s more

to the game than foul shooting, but when you get to the line as much as K-State, converting charities becomes important in squeezing out points. Due to their aggressive, scrappy nature and offensive-rebounding prowess (first in Big 12 with 15.80 per game), the Wildcats get to the charity stripe quite a bit. Kansas State has attempted 613 foul shots, second-most in the Big 12. The Cats are only shooting 61.3 percent from the line, though, last in the Big 12. ● Pinning K-State’s struggles on the departure of Denis Clemente is overrated.

How about some help for Jacob Pullen from guys in the post? Sure, Clemente leaving hurt K-State, but not nearly as much as KSU’s inability to provide paint presence/balance for senior guard Pullen, its best player.

That balance could have come from highly rated Wally Judge, but he quit the team. Freddy Asprilla? He also left the team, initially saying he’d pursue professional opportunities in his native Colombia. He has since committed to transfer to Canisius (N.Y.) of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. OK, fair enough.

There’s still Curtis Kelly and Jamar Samuels. Except Kelly and Samuels have actually regressed from last season.

Kelly’s averages in points (11.5 to 9.9), rebounds (6.2 to 4.9) and field-goal percentage (55.6 to 53.6) are down from last season. Ditto for Samuels’ points (11 to 9.6) and field-goal percentage (53.9 to 40.3).

The main reason KU is 241 and KSU’s 16-9: the development of post players from last season to this season.

KU’s Marcus and Markieff Morris have greatly improved from last season to form a feared front line that should carry the Jayhawks deep into the NCAA Tournament, barring another Northern Iowa fiasco. Marcus has gone from 12.8 points per game last season to 16.9 ppg this season. His rebounding average has climbed from 6.1 to 7.0, his field-goal percentage from 57 percent to a ridiculous 60.9.

How about Markieff? His average in points has grown from 6.8 to 13.2; his rebounds from 5.3 to 8.5; his field-goal percentage from 56.6 percent to 59.4.

Kudos to Danny Manning for developing KU’s post players at a considerably faster rate than K-State’s big men. Marcus and Markieff Morris could both make the All-Big 12 first team, while Thomas Robinson has improved on the court as well and provided a steady complement off the bench.

The Wildcats, meanwhile, had two post men leave the team, their two best interior players have regressed, and their post complement off the bench, Jordan Henriquez-Roberts, still hasn’t matured enough to be a legitimate Big 12 threat.

I see the nightmare continuing for the Wildcats tonight, even at Bramlage Coliseum, where they need a victory in the worst way to keep their dwindling NCAA Tournament hopes alive.

While the Kansas University football program has turned its attention toward the Class of 2012, Turner Gill and company are not finished with the Class of 2011 just yet.

Rivals.com reported Sunday that Tanner Gibas, a long snapper from Charter Oak High in Covina, Calif., signed a letter of intent with the Jayhawks late Saturday, making him the 28th member of the 34th-ranked class in the country.

KSU fired up for Showdown Kansas vs. Kansas State

Jayhawks, who welcomed a handful of recruits from the Class of 2012 to town for a tour of campus and an introduction to Kansas football.

While signing day for these guys is still a year away, Gill and company know there’s no such thing as an day off when it comes to enticing future players to come to campus.

As Gill put it last fall, “If you’re awake, you’re recruiting.”

The list of names in town this weekend included two of the top defensive tackles from Missouri, Ondre Pipkins, 6-3, 325 pounds, from Park Hill in Kansas City, and Edmund Ray, 6-5, 290, from St. Louis.

Also visiting from the Show-Me State were Luke Knott, a 6-1, 185-pound quarterback who led Lee’s Summit West to the state title last fall, and Rockhurst High teammates Jordan Walker and Michael Rose. Walker is a running back, and Rose is a 6foot, 210-pound linebacker who has committed orally to Nebraska.

Kansans in town this weekend included Liberal running back, Justin McPhail, 6-2, 220; Wichita Northwest linebacker, Bennett Moore, 6-2, 210; and K.C. Sumner tight end Vernon Vaughn, 6-3, 185.

Other recruits who toured KU’s facilities, met with coaches and took in the KUIowa State basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse included: Garrett Adcock, a 6-3, 275pound offensive lineman from Dallas Christian; Tavarius Bender, a 6-2, 195-pound quarterback from Lincoln (Neb.) Southwest; Boone Feldt, a 6-3, 275-pound offensive lineman from P ilot Point, Texas; Jermane Littell, a 6-4, 190-pound QB from Stillwater, Okla.; Riley Nolan, a 6-3, 280-pound O-lineman from Norman (Okla.) North High; Donovan Roberts, a 6foot, 220-pound running back from Norman High, who is known as one of the top running backs in Oklahoma; and Quan West, a 6-5, 200-pound receiver from Willis, Texas.

Knicks think they have leverage in Anthony bid

By Alan Hahn Newsday

NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony will go to the AllStar Game this weekend in Los Angeles as a member of the Denver Nuggets, a person with knowledge of the situation said. But although a trade won’t happen this week, the source said the Knicks have “more of a sense of urgency” to get a deal done for the four-time AllStar before the Feb. 24 trade deadline.

“They don’t want to overbid,” the source said, “but they also don’t want to be left without a chair when the music stops.”

Though no formal offers have been made by the Knicks, it has been clear that — with the knowledge that Anthony prefers to be in New York with a three-year, $65 million extension as part of the trade — they believe they have some leverage in negotiations with Denver.

The Nuggets, however, have maintained a stance that they won’t trade Anthony if they’re not satisfied with an offer for him.

Newsday reported Saturday that the Nuggets have been talking with other teams, with the Rockets as one dark-horse candidate, and also are interested in reengaging talks with the Nets.

Perhaps it’s posturing, but the Knicks are concerned, the source said.

ESPN reported Friday that the Nuggets want Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Timofey Mozgov, along with multiple first-round picks, from the Knicks.

That’s a steep price that has led to some debate within the Knicks’ hierarchy, according to sources.

Mike D’Antoni, two sources said, is putting up the most resistance against giving up so many young players. Donnie Walsh has long been in favor of adding Anthony, whom he has told confidants is one of the toughest players in the league. Team owner James Dolan, multiple sources say, is on board with making the investment to add another star to join $100-million man Amar’e Stoudemire.

On Sunday, Stoudemire received treatment on his

sprained right big toe that caused him to miss Saturday night’s victory over the Nets, the first game he has missed since the end of the 2008-09 season. It ended a streak of 134 consecutive games, not including 16 playoff games in 2009-10.

The Knicks have one more game before the All-Star break on Wednesday.

Stoudemire said he expects to be ready to play. “And if I am, then the All-Star Game will be a go,” he said. “And if not, I won’t be able to play as much.”

Considering how banged up his body is and how important he is to the playoff push with 31 games left, the Knicks probably would prefer to see Stoudemire not do much at all during All-Star weekend. But he and Anthony are expected to be as sought after as Stoudemire and LeBron James were last season, when there were rumors that the Cavaliers were involved in trade talks for Stoudemire.

Those talks did not result in a deal by the deadline.

The Knicks are hoping for a different result this time.

Try to forget about fiancee’s sexual history Annie’s Mailbox

collect money for a card and cake, and if the birthday celebrant isn’t in that day, we do it when they return. I have done this task for the past two years.

This year my birthday fell during my vacation. When I came back, no one remembered my birthday, and I received neither a card nor cake. I feel slighted. How am I supposed to cheerfully do this for the next person when I anniesmailbox@creators.com was totally ignored? I want to your head. By their mid-20s, tell my co-workers to find most girls (and guys) have had someone else to do this job. some degree of experience. Am I being childish? — ForYou need to absolve Bella and forget about things she did before she met you. Don’t deliberately bring these thoughts to mind, and if they should surface anyway, immediately substitute the image of the “other guy” for images of you and Bella. If you still need to talk about it, see a professional. Bella is tired of feeling guilty for things she cannot change, and that should not be part of her life with you. If you cannot put this behind you, please rethink the marriage.

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Annie: I am in my mid20s and am engaged to my wonderful fiancee, “Bella,” who is the same age. I love and trust her with all my heart.

Bella has been my only sexual partner. The problem is, before we met, she had been somewhat intimate with other men, including having oral sex. Even though she told me about it a year ago, it still bothers me. I feel jealous, as well as angry with the guys because I know that during some of these encounters Bella was drunk.

I know these things are in the past and can’t be changed.

Talking about it sometimes helps, but Bella gets upset and tries to change the subject. I am working on it, and it’s a little better, but is it wrong for D e a r A n n i e : I am the the thoughts to bother me? — events coordinator in my Confused Fiance office of 12. One of my tasks is to remember all the staff Dear Confused: It’s not birthdays, which I then post wrong to be bothered, but it is on our monthly office calennot a good idea to keep con- dar so everyone knows juring up these thoughts in whose birthday is next. I also

Another sitcom that doesn’t have character If, as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of television, “Mad Love” (7:30 p.m., CBS) is very sincere, indeed. Not content to follow “How I Met Your Mother” in the schedule, it borrows that series’ voiceover introduction technique as well. It also wades deep into “Sleepless in Seattle” and “An Affair to Remember” territory with a contrived meeting of its star-crossed leads on the top of an unnamed skyscraper. But just in case you worried that this was all too gushy, it does star Jason Biggs, best known for his work in the gross-out classic “American Pie,” and Sarah Chalke, star of “Roseanne” and “Scrubs,” two series not know for saccharine.

Not to give too much away here, but their characters, Ben and Kate, meet and feel instantly smitten. Several complications and wrinkles ensue, but they are as deeply thunderstruck as “Dharma & Greg.”

This places a tremendous burden on their respective best friends Larry (Tyler Labine, “Reaper”) and Connie (Judy Greer, “Arrested Development”). They’ve got to come up with all of the witty patter and sexual tension. Too bad they’re such cardboard cutouts. He’s a lawyer who hates to read and has the interests and behavior of a 14-year-old boy. Make that a 14-year-old obsessed with cheeseburgers and porn.

There’s no indication he could have graduated high school, never mind college and law school. She’s a knowing, sophisticated and sporadically witty cynic stuck in a job better suited to a 14-year-old girl. It’s just dawned on her that some of her wrong choices may have led to the fact that she’s a baby-sitter to an idiot/beautiful airhead trophy wife.

Greer and Labine make the most of their considerable time on camera. Too bad they’re trapped in characters nobody cared enough to think about. ● The 2010 documentary “When Strangers Click: Five Stories from the Internet” (8 p.m., HBO2) explores the world of online dating. A decade or two back, the notion of computerized matchmaking was an exotic idea, if not material for comedy. I seem to remember Gomer Pyle filling out a computer dating form on an old “Andy Griffith Show.” Or was it Goober?

Today, more than 20 million people are using dating sites and an estimated one couple in five meeting online. As these five stories reveal, it’s a brave new world of romantic encounters.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A patient’s perfect memory can’t prevent a breakdown on “House” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Breeders battle for best-in-show status on the 135th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (7 p.m., USA, concludes Tuesday). ● Orwell may be in danger on “The Cape” (8 p.m., NBC). ● Teresa and Jarek take on a cop killer on “The Chicago Code” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Pirates put a damper on spring break on “Hawaii Five-O” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Castle and Beckett tangle over a murder case on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC). ● ‘Kid’ Reid glances back on the pop culture of the 1990s on the weeklong round up “Way Black When” (9 p.m., TV One).

Dear California: Since you do all the card buying and cake supplying, it is not surprising that no one did this for you. They don’t consider it their job. It isn’t personal. You are one of those rare folks who have a knack for taking care of their co-workers, but most people are not so conscientious.
