A white Christmas is a good possibility By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

The good news: The chances for a white Christmas are high. The bad news: A messy mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow could impede holiday travel before the fluffy stuff arrives. The National Weather

Service is advising those planing to travel in the days before Christmas to keep an eye on the weather. On Thursday evening, forecasters call for a mix of light drizzle, freezing drizzle and then snow. The snow is expected to start after midnight Thursday

and into Friday morning. “It can be tricky if we end up with a light glaze of ice and then we get snow over top of it,” said Kris Craven, a meteorologist for the NWS in Topeka. Whether Lawrence sees more ice or snow depends on what track the storm takes, Craven said. Right now, the

system that is expected to bring the nasty weather is just reaching land in California. Current predictions call for Lawrence to receive as much as 2 inches of snow, Craven said. And with cold weather in the forecast, Craven said the snow will still be there on Christmas Day.

Historically, the chance of a white Christmas in northeast Kansas ranges between 11 percent and 25 percent. It should be no surprise that the record snowfall for Christmas Day was in 2009 when Lawrence was in the midst of a blizzard; the NWS reported 4.1 inches in northeast Kansas.

Positions would likely result in cuts to public schools By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

T O P E K A — Gov.-elect Sam Brownback on Tuesday vowed to balance the state budget without a tax increase and to try to improve the economy. And despite a $500 million deficit, Brownback said there

may be some room for targeted tax cuts aimed at developing rural areas. “I’m focused on growth,” Brownback said in an interview with the Lawrence JournalWorld. He promised to deliver an economic plan to the Legislature within 30 days after he takes office Jan. 10. “We have got to get the

growth agenda passed,” he said. But his positions would likely result in funding cuts to public schools, and he said there are not enough funds available for a proposed higher education increase.

Public school issues Brownback, a Republican, said he wants to provide the cur-

rent level of state funding to public schools, but added the state doesn’t have the money necessary to replace expiring federal stimulus dollars. “I don’t see how we, with the $500 million budget hole, can do a lot of augmentation really anywhere,” he said. Please see BROWNBACK, page 4A

Census numbers mean Kansas will keep 4 seats in House Newly released figures also show lagging population growth By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Think of them as the power numbers. The U.S. Census Bureau on Tuesday released the first batch of numbers from

the 2010 Census. They are not the most detailed numbers. They don’t answer the interesting question of how many people really are living in Lawrence. They don’t provide detailed information about race, gender,

A Douglas County judge Tuesday afternoon ordered a Lawrence woman to serve a 28month prison sentence for endangering two girls who say they were sexually assaulted by her husband. “There are several things she could have done to prevent the ongoing sexual abuse of these children,” District Judge Peggy Kittel said before handing down the prison sentence to Natasha M. Brown. Brown, 34, nodded her head when listening to Kittel’s instructions during the sentencing hearing. Donald Brown, 33, Kittel ruled faces a January that Brown trial on multiple could get charges, including credit for the three counts of six months she has child rape. already served in jail and would be eligible through good behavior to get credit for 20 percent of her sentence. Brown had apologized to the girls’ parents earlier in the hearing. “You entrusted us with your children, and my husband and I violated that trust beyond measure,” said Brown, who has been convicted of two counts of aggravated child endangerment and one count of lewd and lascivious behavior. Amy McGowan, a chief assistant Douglas County district attorney, had asked Kittel to depart from standard sentencing guidelines and give Brown prison time. Normally, Brown, who has no criminal history, would face probation for the three convictions. Kittel found that Brown deserved the steeper sentence because of the ages of the victims — they are now 9 and 11 — and because the defendants had a relationship of trust with the girls. The girls’ family from Topeka met the Browns through Heritage Baptist Church, which is northwest of Lawrence. Prosecutors have said that in May the girls talked to their parents, accusing Natasha Brown’s husband, Donald Brown, of having Please see WIFE, page 5A

Census: Growth lagging

Ex-bank president gets 6 A federal judge has ordered a former Meriden bank president to serve six years in federal prison for planning to steal $1 million from the bank. Scott D. Becker, of Meriden, pleaded guilty in October to two conspiracy counts: one to commit bank employee theft and one to commit perjury, wire fraud and money laundering. In his plea, Becker said the crimes began in 1999 when he was president and CEO of Countryside Bank, formerly Meriden State Bank, in western Jefferson County. Becker said he used his knowledge of internal bank operations to steal more than $1 million for personal use by creating a series of legal entities, including truck-

The nation’s population grew by 9.7 percent. Kansas added 164,700 people and has a total population of 2,853,118. ● America is slowing down. The 9.7 percent growth rate was the country’s second slowest of the last century. The slowest was 7.3 percent during the 1930s and the Great Depression. At least Kansas fared much better during this economic downturn than that one. During the 1930s, Kansas’ population fell 4.3 percent. ● Kansas isn’t falling behind as fast as it once was. It is no surprise that Kansas’ population did not grow as fast as the nation’s. It hasn’t since at least 1910. But the difference between Kansas’ growth rate and the nation’s growth rate — a difference of 3.6 percentage points — is the smallest it has been this century. For the last century, Kansas’ growth rate has lagged behind the nation’s growth rate by 7.3 percentage points. ● Kansas isn’t keeping up with its neighbors. Every state that borders Kansas had a higher growth rate than Kansas. They were: Colorado: 16.9 percent; Oklahoma: 8.7 percent; Missouri: 7.0 percent; and Nebraska: 6.7 percent. ● At least we’re not Missouri.

KANSAS BIOSCIENCE AUTHORITY

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Stopgap spending bill clears Congress Congress cleared a stopgap funding bill Tuesday to keep the federal government open into March, a temporary truce until Republicans and President Barack Obama rejoin the battle over the budget next year. The bill was passed by the House in the evening just hours after speeding through the Senate. Obama was poised to sign it by midnight to avoid a government shutdown. The measure would freeze agency budgets at current levels. That’s still too high for Republicans set to take over the House, who vow to cut many programs to levels in place when Obama took office. That will be difficult to achieve, even though Republicans will control the House and possess greater strength in the senate. The bill would also create hardship at the Pentagon and the Homeland Security Department, which will be denied funding increases until their budgets pass next year. 1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Obama secures votes for nuclear pact President Barack Obama locked up enough Senate Republican votes Tuesday to ratify a new arms control treaty with Russia that would cap nuclear warheads for both former Cold War foes and restart onsite weapons inspections. Eleven Republicans joined Democrats in a 67-28 proxy vote to wind up the debate and hold a final tally today. They broke ranks with the Senate’s top two Republicans and were poised to give Obama a bipartisan win on his top foreign policy priority. “We know when we’ve been beaten,” Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah told reporters hours before the vote. Ratification requires two-thirds of those voting in the Senate and Democrats need at least nine Republicans to overcome the opposition of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Jon Kyl of Arizona, the party’s point man on the pact.

Committees approve $1M investment for project By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Two Kansas Bioscience Authority committees agreed to make a $1 million direct equity investment to Project Heartland. KBA staff wouldn’t say what Project Heartland was or release the name of the company that would receive the money. On Tuesday, the KBA’s investment committee met in executive session to discuss the project. When the committee came out of executive session, they approved the $1 million investment. Directly after that meeting, the KBA’s executive committee approved the funding for the project. David Vranicar, KBA’s president for Heartland BioVentures, said the KBA wouldn’t release

the name of the company to protect its confidentiality. But he said more details would be released soon. KBA’s direct equity investment program works with private and accredited investors to make direct equity investments into bioscience startups and companies with high growth potential. The executive committee also approved funding for three other projects: ● The Kansas University Cancer Center will receive $500,000 to support a $2 million drugdevelopment partnership with the National Institutes of Health and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The partnership will study ways that existing drugs can fight rare blood diseases. ● KBA will provide $4 million to match $12 million the U.S.

Department of Homeland Security is spending on Kansas State University’s Center of Excellence for Emerging and Zoonotic Diseases. The center will study diseases such as Rift Valley fever, avian influenza and foot-and-mouth disease. ● KBA will provide the final $80,000 in the $500,000 investment the organization made with JACAM Chemicals. The money, which was approved in 2006, allows for a completion of a facility in Rice County. The KBA was created through the Kansas Economic Growth Act of 2004. The act allows the state to invest an anticipated $581 million over 15 years to create bioscience jobs, expand bioscience research and industry, and attract bioscience investments. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

Food safety bill sent to president The House has passed a sweeping bill aimed at making food safer following recent contaminations in peanuts, eggs and produce, sending it to President Barack Obama for his signature. The legislation passed Tuesday would give the government broad new powers to inspect processing plants, order recalls and impose stricter standards for imported foods. The $1.4 billion bill would also require larger farms and food manufacturers to prepare detailed food safety plans and tell the Food and Drug Administration how they are working to keep their food safe at different stages of production. Praising the House, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said the bill will give her agency new tools to make substantial improvements in food safety. 1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

More young people have only cell phone In a first for any age group, more than half of Americans age 25-29 live in households with cell phones but no traditional landline telephones. A report on phone use by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also found that the younger children are, the likelier they are to live in homes that only have wireless phones. That suggests that younger parents are showing increasing comfort relying only on cell phones even as they adjust from being single to a more settled family lifestyle, according to one of the report’s authors. 2 | ATLANTA

Teen birth rate at all-time low The U.S. teen birth rate in 2009 fell to its lowest point in almost 70 years of record-keeping — a decline that stunned experts who believe it’s partly due to the recession. The birth rate for teenagers fell to 39 births per 1,000 girls, ages 15 through 19, according to a government report released Tuesday. It was a 6 percent decline from the previous year, and the lowest since health officials started tracking the rate in 1940. Experts say the recent recession — from December 2007 to June 2009 — was a major factor driving down births overall, and there’s good reason to think it affected would-be teen mothers.

The Boelling’s display is joining several others in the area, including two in Lawrence. Ross Boelling said his show runs from about 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. nightly. Though decorating during the holidays is nothing new, this is

City OKs deal for Farmland cleanup By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Warm up the bulldozers. City commissioners Tuesday night unanimously approved a proposal to begin cleaning up old buildings, equipment and other debris at the former 467-acre Farmland Industries site. And perhaps as an early Christmas present, the contractor said he plans to start work in the first week of January — several weeks earlier than once anticiCITY COMMISSION pated — and finish a month earlier than expected. Commissioners followed their staff ’s recommendation and awarded the project to Lawrence-based R.D. Johnson Excavating. Johnson is estimating that it will take his crews — which will include about 20 workers — four months to clean up the site, which is on the eastern edge of Lawrence along busy Kansas Highway 10. “We’re excited about it, and we’re glad that we can keep the money for the project local,” Johnson said. Commissioners did end up having some questions about the costs of the project. Commissioners approved Johnson’s proposal for a total of $252,000. That price allows Johnson to keep the first 1,500 tons of salvageable steel. The city will get to keep 25 percent of the value of any steel salvaged above the 1,500 ton mark. At least one other bidder — Jordan Disposal Service/Gator Industrial of Joplin, Mo. — presented a proposal that would have been a lower cost to the city. City staff members estimated the proposal was about $30,000 lower than Johnson’s, but said they were comfortable going with Johnson’s proposal because they believed working with a local company would make it easier to track how the materials are disposed of and make it easier to negotiate if unforeseen issues arise at the site. The city is legally responsible for ensuring all the materials are disposed of properly. “We know Roger, and we work with him a lot,” said Chuck Soules, the city’s director of public works. “We know he’s not going to burn any bridges.” Roger Hines, an owner of the Joplin-based company, estimated his proposal actually was $100,000 to $150,000 less than Johnson’s. Soules, though, said he was confident that wasn’t the Please see CITY, page 5A

ON THE RECORD

“

The board’s position has not changed. Through the Kansas Commitment, we’ve provided the governor-elect and the Legislature with targeted investment opportunities that all produce muchneeded economic growth. … Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” — Kansas Board of Regents Chairman Gary Sherrer instruction on a temporary basis. He said he wants to change the public school teacher certification process to allow people with expertise in a particular subject to teach in schools even if they haven’t completed college training as an educator.

Brownback rejects ‘Commitment’ Concerning higher education, Brownback said the money is not there to support the Kansas Commitment plan, which was approved by the Kansas Board of Regents and would require $50 million in additional funding. He said he would like to reallocate resources within higher education to increase funding for areas directly linked to the economy, such as the Kansas University Medical Center, KU School of Pharmacy, veterinary medicine at Kansas State and aviation at Wichita State. He mentioned that some states are discontinuing degree programs that are graduating small numbers of students and perhaps Kansas colleges should be doing that. Of the funding increase under the proposed Kansas Commitment, about $20 million would cover inflation over the past several years. Another $15.75 million would be used to restore some of the deferred maintenance funding that legislators approved for schools but eliminated in the last two budgets. The plan would also seek $14 million in state funds for KU, KSU and WSU to address shortages in engineers and medical professionals. Last week, student leaders at the regents schools delivered to Brownback 3,000

On the tax side, he said he will not accept any increases. In fact, he may seek cuts. He said he will propose waiving personal state income taxes for a 10-year period for people who move to Kansas from out of state and live and work in rural areas. He said he also wants to work with rural counties to set up programs to buy down student loans if the student moves back to the area. He said the state wouldn’t mandate the programs but would partner with willing counties. And Brownback, a U.S. senator, said he had no presidential ambitions. He ran in the last presidential cycle for the GOP nomination but dropped out early. “I am not a candidate for president. I am ecstatic about being governor of Kansas,” he said. — Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Gifts of time can save money Wes: In past Christmas columns we’ve suggested alternative holiday gifts for teens such as travel. This year in light of the ongoing economic downturn, we’ll suggest a few ideas that don’t depend as heavily on spending. Ben and I aren’t trying to add to the recession by suppressing demand, just proposing some lower-cost and perhaps higher-value alternatives. Time. It’s cliché to believe that teens want nothing to do with their parents or to share any of their time with them. While they are certainly transitioning from child to adulthood, even later teens still enjoy some one-on-one time, as long as those times are tailored to meet their needs. If you know your child, you know what he or she likes and the gift of time and effort in that direction could be worth more than any stockingstuffer. By the way, “one-onone” could also mean you taking along your teen’s best friend or romantic partner. Remember, the goal here is to make the time a gift. Memories. While you’re spending that time, you might as well create some memories. I have no idea where most of my memorabilia from

high school now resides, but I have many recollections of my life back then. A great gift is to engage teens in something they’ll never forget. While this might require a little spending, it doesn’t have to wipe out the bank. Rock climbing, go carts, a certificate for a canoe or camping trip in the summer, or a winter survival camp right now. Anything that brings some adventure to your teen’s life. Ben: Wes is right, one of the principal stresses of Christmas is cost. How can you give good gifts without breaking bank? Try making something. Maybe you’ve had a bad experience with this. Maybe somebody’s birthday sneaked up on you and you ended up

giving your mom a Play Doh ashtray, but homemade gifts are a great opportunity to be thrifty and thoughtful. When you’re making a gift, play to your talents. Draw, compose, write, sew, whatever you’re good at, but make sure you put some serious effort into it. You can avoid the ashtray fiasco by making the gift personal to the receiver. Revive an old inside joke or reflect on an old adventure. The great advantage in making something is that you’re essentially giving them a part of you, not something you saw on a shelf at a store. As you’re hurrying through last-minute shopping this week, brainstorm a few alternatives that might last longer than the usual gifts, and leave you with more for your money in the end. — Dr. Wes Crenshaw is a boardcertified family psychologist and director of the Family Therapy Institute Midwest.

Kansas keeps incarceration rate low By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

The number of people incarcerated in the Kansas prison system during 2009 was higher than the previous year. But the state still has a prison rate that’s far lower than national averages, according to data released Tuesday by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Bill Miskell, communications director for the Kansas Department of Corrections, said the state has been focusing on limiting prison population increases by decreasing the number of parolees

who return to prison. “Otherwise, the numbers would’ve been much higher,” Miskell said. Here’s a look at Kansas and national incarceration rates included in the new report: ● The Kansas prison population increased from 8,534 to 8,641 by year end 2009, an increase of 1.2 percent. ● The Kansas increase outpaced the national yearly increase, which rose 0.2 of 1 percent to more than 1.6 million offenders in state or federal prisons and local jails. ● Since 2000, however, the Kansas prison growth rate has been 3.5 percent, com-

pared with the national growth rate of 15 percent. ● Kansas ranks 12th lowest in the country with an incarceration rate of 303 people per 100,000, compared with the national rate of 504 per 100,000. ● Of neighboring states, only Nebraska is ranked lower at eighth, with a prison rate of 179 per 100,000. Maine has the lowest rate at 151 per 100,000, while Louisiana incarcerates the highest percentage of the population with a rate of 853 per 100,000.

case. He said Hines was making inaccurate assumptions about some key provisions of Johnson’s proposal, and also was attempting to lower a key number in his proposal after details from the bids had been made public. Commissioners, though, did agree to pull some work out of the contract and rebid it with the hopes of getting lower prices. Commissioners removed $180,000 worth of work to remove asbestos from boilers at the plant. City Commissioner Mike Dever — who is an environmental site consultant by trade — said he thought that portion of the bid was high because contractors weren’t sure how

much asbestos was in the boilers. Dever recommended that an asbestos company do an inspection to determine the amount of asbestos, and then rebid the removal. “It is possible we could end up saving $80,000 to $100,000 on the abatement,” Dever said. Commissioners also are hoping that they’ll see the total cost decline as more steel gets salvaged from the site. Although Johnson is estimating 1,500 tons of steel at the site, the city and several other contractors estimated 3,000 tons or more. Steel prices are fluctuating, but the city believes the steel could sell for $185 a ton or more. The city is cleaning up the property as part of an agreement it has with the state of

sex with them. Police later arrested the Browns. “My children lost their innocence, and they may never get most of that back,” their mother said in a letter read in court. “And two of them will never get their purity back.” A jury in October convicted Brown of two counts of aggravated child endangerment and one count of lewd and lascivious behavior. Her husband, Donald Brown, 33, faces a January trial on multiple charges, including three counts of child rape. He is accused of having sex with and molesting the two girls from June 2008 to May of this year. Natasha Brown was convicted of lewd and lascivious

My children lost their innocence, and they may never get most of that back. And two of them will never get their purity back.” — The mother of two girls who accuse Natasha Brown’s husband of having sex with them in a letter to the court behavior for lifting her skirt and exposing her genitalia to the children. The girls’ father had asked Kittel to give Natasha Brown the maximum prison sentence she could because the events have had a tragic effect on the family. “It’s not that I hate,” he said. “It’s just that I don’t trust any-

one, not at all.” Defense attorney Napoleon Crews had argued that his client, Natasha Brown, was involved in an abusive relationship with her husband and she was intimidated into not reporting anything about the abuse to police. But Kittel said Brown acknowledged she thought her husband was sexually “grooming” the children and that she was aware of the abuse. Kittel said Brown could have done several things, including notifying the police or the girls’ parents, confronting her husband or refusing to let the children stay at the home. — Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144.

Couples tapped to lead KU capital campaign By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Three couples with strong ties to Kansas University are tasked with leading an upcoming capital campaign that will seek to raise private funds to support KU. Kurt and Sue Watson, of Andover, will serve as steering committee chairs. Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson and his wife, Stacy, of Topeka, and Tom and Jill Docking, of Wichita, will all serve as cochairs of the committee. Kurt Watson is president and CEO of IMA Financial Group in Wichita. Sue Watson is a past chair and current member of the executive committee of the board of directors of the KU Alumni Association. In January, Mark Parkinson will become the president and CEO of the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living in Washington, D.C.

Special to the Journal-World

KURT AND SUE WATSON will serve as steering committee chairs for an upcoming capital campaign that seeks to raise funds to support Kansas University. Stacy Parkinson is an attorney. Tom Docking is a former Kansas lieutenant governor and Wichita attorney. Jill

Docking recently served as chairwoman of the Kansas Board of Regents and works in Wichita as a f inancial adviser. All six received degrees from KU. Together, they will lead a group of alumni and supporters who will serve as the public face of the fundraising effort. Kurt Watson said that he and his wife were “honored” when Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little asked them to lead the effort. “We really look forward to the challenge,” he said. “We want this to be transformational, and to help the university have the resources it needs to compete nationally and internationally. The importance of this cannot be overstated.” The chairs and co-chairs of the committee will be tasked with recruiting new members, and eventually, to establish a fundraising goal and to

name the campaign. Those are two fairly important tasks, Watson said. The campaign will look to raise money for KU in a variety of different ways, from student scholarships, to endowed professorships, to support for research for important initiatives like the KU Cancer Center’s quest for NCI designation, Watson said. And, actually, the campaign has been rumbling along now for some time — it’s been in a “silent” planning and fundraising mode since mid-2008, Watson said. The steering committee will also work with key university leaders to establish fundraising priorities in the coming months, leading up to a public kickoff event — something Watson said may not happen until 2012. — Higher education reporter Andy Hyland can be reached at 832-6388.

Grant makes 2nd breast-feeding group possible kbritt@ljworld.com

Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department and Lawrence Memorial Hospital have received a $6,940 g rant from United Methodist Health Ministry Fund to start an evening breast-feeding support group in Lawrence. “The goal of the grant is to increase breast-feeding rates across the community,” said Lisa Horn, communications director for the health department. She announced the grant during Monday’s board meeting. Horn said the organizations want to help pregnant women and new mothers who may be in school or at work. It would be similar to a daytime breast-feeding sup-

port group that has been meeting at LMH for about 10 years. That group meets at 10 a.m. every Monday and offers infant weigh-ins and is staffed by maternal/child nurses with lactation training. So far this year, it has had 893 mother and baby visits. Horn said they hope to start the Douglas County Evening Breastfeeding Support Group in the spring. It also would offer nurses and peer counselors to facilitate the meetings. They still need to decide how often it will meet and where, and are hoping to get the community’s input. The goal is for the group to continue once the one-year

grant runs out. That’s because having support is so important. Horn said research has shown women are more likely to breast-feed because of peer support. “It makes a huge difference, especially if your mother didn’t breast-feed or your sister or grandma,” she said. Denise Martinek, director of Maternal Child Services at LMH, said women often hear that breastfeeding should be easy because it is natural, but that’s not true. “It just doesn’t always come easy to moms and babies, so it’s important to have that support from other moms who have been there,” she said. There are just over 1,000 babies born at LMH each year, and about 85 percent of new mothers leave LMH as

breast-feeding moms. But sometimes those moms give up once home. “It’s a lot easier when you are surrounded by nurses and the lactation consultants who are helping you, but once you go home there’s not that encouragement there and someone helping you with your feedings,” Martinek said. LMH and the health department promote breastfeeding because of the benefits for mothers and babies. Research has shown breastfed babies are less likely to be sick or develop infections. To weigh in on the new support group, contact Horn at 856-7362 or lhorn@ldchealth.org. — Health reporter Karrey Britt can be reached at 832-7190.

Kansas woman on ‘Conan’ to discuss her quirky collection of small things By Gary Demuth Salina Journal

L U C A S — It’s the world’s largest cow hairball, and Erika Nelson is getting ready to go on television to talk about it with Conan O’Brien. Nelson is a Lucas-based artist and educator who for the past decade has been working on a project entitled “The World’s Largest Collection of the World’s Smallest Versions of the World’s Largest Things.” Each year, Nelson drives along back roads of the U.S. to look for unique roadside attractions of large-scale items that have included the world’s largest ball of twine in Cawker City, the world’s largest ball of popcorn in Sac City, Iowa, and the world’s largest bottle of ketchup in Collinsville, Ill. Nelson takes numerous photos of the attraction, then meticulously makes tiny replicas of it out of plastic, clay or from existing models she alters to her specifications. She then returns to the original location and photographs her small replicas alongside the huge originals. A list of the hundreds of models Nelson has created based on these diverse original attractions can be found on her website, www.worldslargestthings.com. It was Nelson’s website that prompted an e-mail from the producer of Conan O’Brien’s late night talk show, “Conan.” “His producer was googling ‘world’s largest’ when my website came up,” Nelson said. “He e-mailed me in October, talked to me, and then said he wanted to feature me on the show.” After Nelson sent the producer videos of previous television programs and documentaries she had appeared on (“to prove I could talk to people,” Nelson said), the producer pitched it to O’Brien. “Conan said yes,” Nelson said.

Nelson will be in Los Angeles this week to appear on tonight’s “Conan” program. Nelson, who is scheduled to be interviewed between comic actor Jack Black and a performance by blues guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, said she’s not that nervous about talking with O’Brien. “I’m looking forward to it,” Nelson said. “Conan has fun with his guests, and he’s not scared to make a fool of himself. I’ll just roll with it.” Nelson plans to bring a producer-approved sampling of her small versions of large things onto the show to talk about with O’Brien. “Those all have good stories with them,” she said. Nelson said she wanted to bring Kansas into the conversation by talking about the Cawker City ball of twine on the show, but the producer told her it was too well known. So Nelson told him about the cow hairball in Garden City.

Cows groom like cats As it turns out, cows groom themselves much like cats and produce hairballs that are discovered only after the unfortunate beast has been through a slaughterhouse. Some time ago, a large spherical ball of hair was taken from a cow’s innards in Garden City. The hairball apparently was so impressive that it was placed in the city’s historical society museum, Nelson said. “It’s actually pretty disgusting,” she said. So Nelson created a smaller hairball made of cat fur that she called “equally disgusting.” “I’m going after the ‘ick’ factor on that one,” she said. Other possible topics for conversation might be the ketchup bottle and popcorn ball, along with the largest Santa Claus (from Santa Claus, Ind., naturally) and the largest donut, sitting atop Randy’s Donuts by the Los Angeles Airport and featured

in countless movies and TV shows. “I don’t expect we’ll get to all of them,” Nelson said. When not making small versions of the world’s largest things, Nelson is a guest lecturer and educator on college campuses, mentors high school art students, works on mural projects for the Smoky Hill River Festival and the Kansas Community Mural Project in Newton. She’s also a member of the Kansas Art Commission’s Artists on Tour program, presenting art programs and workshops throughout the state.

Hawker Beechcraft staying put in Wichita By Roxana Hegeman Associated Press Writer

WICHITA — Aircraft maker Hawker Beechcraft Corp. on Tuesday announced its commitment to keep its aircraft operations in Kansas for the next 10 years as part of a $45 million deal brokered with state and local officials. In return for an incentives package, Hawker Beechcraft has agreed to maintain its current aircraft lines and keep at least 4,000 jobs in the state during the next 10 years. The news comes as an early Christmas present for a community that has been on edge since the debt-ridden firm said earlier this year it was considering moving all operations out of the state. Hawker Beechcraft Chief Executive Officer Bill Boisture said the company had held significant discussions in the past several months — and that there had been quite a lot of apprehension about the company’s future. “We are committing to the further success of Hawker Beechcraft as a U.S., a Kansas and a Wichita-based private company and we are preserving a valued American industry in tomorrow’s aviation market,” Boisture said. The company plans to maintain its headquarters along with its engineering, its supply chain management, its composite fuselage manufacturing, its aircraft final assembly, its flight test and its global customer service and support business in Wichita, Boisture said. “We will go forward with a renewed lift under our wings,” Boisture said. Gov. Mark Parkinson told a crowd gathered for the announcement at the National Center for Aviation Training that he had no doubt the aircraft maker could have gotten a lot more than $45 million if it had been willing to move. Louisiana had tried to lure the company from Kansas. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal didn’t describe specific proposals pitched by the state, but acknowledged he had met with Boisture personally to discuss a possible move. “They weren’t confident they could meet the job commitments they would have to make to come to Baton Rouge so it just didn’t make sense at this time,” Jindal said. Kansas Gov.-elect Sam Brownback said he would make implementing the agreement a priority for his administration. “I am committed to defending the Kansas aviation industry from other states and nations which have their sights on it and will fight fire with fire when necessary to ensure its continued success,” Brownback said in a statement. The incentives include $40 million from the state of Kansas, through a program in the state Department of Commerce. Of that, $10 million over three years is designated for employees attending the National Aviation Training Center or a state university.

Stark challenges ahead for Iraq’s new government By Lara Jakes and Rebecca Santana Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD — Iraq seated a freely elected government Tuesday after nine months of haggling, bringing together the main ethnic and religious groups in a fragile balance that could make it difficult to rebuild a nation devastated by war as American troops prepare for their final withdrawal. One of the government’s f irst priorities will be to decide whether to ask the Obama administration to keep thousands of U.S. soldiers in Iraq after their scheduled departure in December 2011. Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki’s new government solidifies the grip that Shiites have held on political power since Saddam Hussein’s ouster. It leaves open the question of whether the country’s disgruntled Sunni minority will play a meaningful role.

Despite tortuous negotiations that threatened to unravel the country’s tenuous democratic gains, the Al-Maliki public face of the new government will look remarkably like the outgoing one. The prime minister, president and foreign minister will remain the same. The outcome was a huge victory for al-Maliki, who has made more than his share of enemies as prime minister since May 2006. Parliament originally tapped al-Maliki as a compromise candidate to lead Iraq following tumultuous elections in December 2005 during the height of the war. The new government was sworn in Tuesday immediately after the Iraqi parliament voted to approve 34 Cabinet ministers including

al-Maliki. The remainder of the 44-member Cabinet is made up of acting ministers who will be replaced at a later date because of ongoing disputes among coalition partners. President Barack Obama praised Iraq for building an inclusive coalition that he described as “a clear rejection of the efforts by extremists to spur sectarian division.” Al-Maliki hailed what he called a unified but diverse government, the creation of which was “the most difficult task in the world.” But even as he praised the new government, al-Maliki hinted at its weakness: the need to include all the major political factions as a way to preserve stability at the expense of efficiency. “There were people whose parties have only one or two seats and even they were demanding a ministry,” al-Maliki said. “So I know that nobody is satisfied with me.”

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● American Airlines pulled its flights from the Orbitz travel website on Tuesday in a dispute that could eventually affect the way travelers buy airplane tickets online. The airline said its tickets sold previously on Orbitz are still valid. And American Airlines tickets can still be bought at the airline’s own website as well as other travel websites. ● Craigslist has confirmed that it removed its controversial adult services section from its international sites, Connecticut’s attorney general said Tuesday, four months after it did the same for its U.S. sites. The U.S. move in September came under pressure from officials over whether Craigslist was adequately policing illegal ads.

FCC adopts rules to protect Web traffic By Joelle Tessler Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Federal regulators adopted new rules Tuesday to keep the companies that control the Internet’s pipelines from restricting what their customers do online or blocking competing services, including online calling applications and Web video. The vote by the Federal Communications Commission was 3-2 and quickly came under attack from the commission’s two Republicans, who said the rules would discourage investments in broadband. Prominent Republicans in Congress vowed to work to overturn them. Meanwhile, critics at the other end of the political spectrum were disappointed that the new regulations don’t do enough to safeguard the fastest-growing way that people access the Internet today — through wireless devices like smart phones and tablets. The new rules have the backing of the White House and capped a year of efforts by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski to find a compromise. They are intended to ensure that broadband providers cannot use their control of the Internet’s onramps to dictate where their

subscribers can go. They will prohibit phone and cable companies from favoring or discriminating against Internet content and services that travel over their networks — including online calling services such as Skype, Internet video services such as Netflix and other applications that compete with their core businesses. The prohibitions, known as “net neutrality,” have been at the center of a Washington policy dispute for at least five years. The issue hit home with many Internet users in 2007, when Comcast Corp. slowed traffic from an Internet file-sharing service called BitTorrent. The cable giant argued that the service, which was used to trade movies and other big files over the Internet, was clogging its network. The new FCC rules are intended to prevent that type of behavior. They require broadband providers to let subscribers access all legal online content, applications and services over their wired networks. They do give providers flexibility to manage data on their systems to deal with network congestion and unwanted traffic, including spam, as long as they publicly disclose how they manage the network.

Argentina should face education woes

EDITORIALS

Give it time It’s way too soon to declare Kansas’ statewide smoking ban a failure.

ansas legislators discussed and examined various statewide smoking ban proposals for years before approving such a ban in the 2010 session. The law they passed has been in effect only six months. It’s way too soon to declare it a failure. Last week, Rep. Brenda Landwehr, R-Wichita, announced that she will promote a bill that repeals the ban that took effect on July 1 prohibiting smoking in restaurants, bars, workplaces and other indoor public spaces. The ban, she says, has been hard on business, especially the bar business. Her plan is to replace the current law with a statewide law that mirrors a Wichita city ordinance that allows smoking in businesses that pay a fee and build separate rooms with special ventilation systems. However, Landwehr’s plan not only ignores the proven health hazards of smoking and secondhand smoke, but it is also unfair to many of the businesses she supposedly is trying to help. Large chain restaurants and drinking establishments would be far more likely to have the space and financial means to pay the smoking fee and build a separate ventilated space. As one Lawrence bar owner pointed out, meeting the Wichita ordinance’s requirements to allow smoking would be unrealistic for his business and most other small establishments. If allowing smoking gives a business a competitive advantage, the Wichita law would give an unfair advantage to larger businesses. The impact of a smoking ban on businesses has been debated in Lawrence ever since a city ordinance instituting such a ban went into effect in 2004. Sales tax receipts have been used as evidence that the ban hasn’t hurt local bars and restaurants, but some owners say otherwise. In the highly competitive Lawrence bar scene, it’s hard to know how much of a business swing to blame on the smoking ban and how much might be attributed to other factors. For a great many Lawrence residents and visitors the city’s smoking ban has been a welcome change. Whatever impact it has had on local businesses has to be weighed against the health benefits of eliminating secondhand smoke. There’s also the possibility that business at some local establishments has actually improved because patrons appreciate a smoke-free environment. Landwehr makes a valid point that state legislators were hypocritical in exempting stateowned casinos from the smoking ban, but a better way to solve that problem is to include the casinos, not drop the rest of the ban. Lawrence’s experience has shown that, despite some initial concerns, a law that bans smoking in most public places can work. Legislators need to give the statewide ban a chance.

B U E N O S A I R E S — Argentina, which once was one of the world’s richest countries, is suffering from an educational debacle. But what struck me the most during a visit here was that very few — including those in the government — seem to care about it. Earlier this month, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development released the results of its much-awaited PISA student achievement test, which measures the proficiency of 15-year-old students in 65 countries in reading comprehension, math and science. It is the world’s most recognized measure of countries’ education standards. In reading comprehension, the city of Shanghai, China, got the highest scores (China didn’t participate as a country), followed by South Korea, Finland, Hong Kong and Singapore. The United States ranked 17th, Spain 33rd, Chile 44th, Uruguay 47th, Mexico 48th, Colombia 52nd, Brazil 53rd, and Argentina 58th. Of Latin American nations, only Panama and Peru scored lower than Argentina, coming in at 62nd and 63rd, respectively. The PISA test math and science results were similar, reflecting a steady decline for Argentina and a slight improvement for Brazil, which 10 years ago ended up last on the list. When the figures were first released on Dec. 7, the United States, Britain, France, Germany and several other countries

of embracing “theInstead politics of denial, this country — and many others, for that matter — should adopt a healthy dose of ‘constructive paranoia.’ They need to feel others are doing better and redouble their efforts to catch up with them.”

reacted with justified alarm. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said that America’s mediocre test results “should be a massive wake-up call to the entire country.” Several European countries announced plans to overhaul their education systems. But in Argentina, instead of using the results as a trigger to mobilize the country to improve its education standards, the government of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner did the

opposite: It blamed the PISA test for allegedly not being fair. Argentina’s education minister, Alberto Sileoni, was quoted in the media as saying the PISA test was conceived by rich countries “for a reality that is not ours.” He said Argentina is discussing the creation of a regional test with other Latin American countries and suggested that Argentina could pull out from the PISA test. In the media, except for a frontpage story in the daily La Nacion reporting that the country’s test scores had fallen sharply over the past 10 years, the test results received scant attention. Most pro-government media ignored the issue altogether. Other Latin American governments reacted more maturely than Argentina, but some offered a questionable dose of triumphalism. Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon celebrated that Mexico “not only achieved but surpassed the goals we had set ourselves” in reading comprehension and math. Peruvian Education Minister Jose Antonio Chang also stressed the positive, saying that his country’s scores showed improvement from 10 years ago. My opinion: The governments of Argentina and seven other Latin American countries that participated in the latest PISA test deserve credit for taking part. Others, including Cuba, prefer to take the safe route of not participating and thus avoid any

potentially embarrassing results. But the Argentine education minister’s reaction should become a textbook case of how not to react to bad news on the education front. In an increasingly competitive global economy, countries need reality checks that tell them where they need to improve. To use a sports analogy in this soccer-crazy country, the minister’s suggestion that Argentina may abandon the PISA test amounts to saying, “Since we did badly in the World Cup soccer, let’s pull out and compete in a regional tournament.” That’s a recipe for complacency and economic stagnation. Argentina, which has won five Nobel prizes and still has a huge reservoir of academic talent, should do exactly the opposite and use the PISA test results as a call to action to improve its education standards. Instead of embracing the politics of denial, this country — and many others, for that matter — should adopt a healthy dose of “constructive paranoia.” They need to feel others are doing better and redouble their efforts to catch up with them. Asian countries do exactly that: They are constantly measuring themselves against the best of the world, and worrying about being left behind. As the PISA tests show, it’s working for them. — Andres Oppenheimer is a Latin America correspondent for the Miami Herald.

OLD HOME TOWN

Barbara Lown was celebrating her fifth anniversary as the switchYEARS board operator for AGO the city of IN 1985 Lawrence. She had been answering some 550 incoming calls per day on average. On a very busy day, such as in August 1982 during the filming of “The Day After,” she reported more than 1,000 calls coming into City Hall. Area legislators were divided on the issue of funding for a proposed $12.5 million medium-security prison at Ellsworth. Sen. Wint Winter Jr. said that the state already had a tight budget and other areas of greater need, while Rep. David Miller said that the trend toward a growing inmate population made the new prison a necessity.

Elections critical for state, nation As I write this, Christmas and New Year’s are just a few days off and this is my last column for 2010. The Kansas University campus is quiet, most of the students are away for the holidays, and most of the faculty are grading f inal exams, the grades for which are due next week. It’s a good time to reflect on the past year. On the Hill, once again, there’s a new provost and, so far, he seems to have been a good choice. One development in Strong Hall that I think may not be as positive is the dominant focus in public statements on the university’s contribution to economic development in the state through its science and engineering research. I have no doubt that KU’s research contributes to state economic development, but I don’t think that’s the only way — or even the primary way — in which the university contributes to the state and its economy. I think that it is extremely important to remember that our principal product is our students. KU produces thousands of educated citizens every year: doctors, lawyers, engineers, business people, journalists, social workers, teachers, etc. These are students who have learned languages to make them better able to function in a global economy. These are people who have learned history so that they can be informed citizens. They are people who have studied literature and art so that their own lives can be enriched. As important as KU research is, we

“

In Kansas, the significant increase in the Republican majority will permit Republicans in the Legislature to control completely the reapportionment process, thereby giving them the ability to further solidify their dominance in state politics.” must never lose sight of our teaching mission nor forget how important our graduates are to the state of Kansas now and in the future. I write a good deal in this column about state and local politics, and as I look back on the myriad political events of the year I cannot avoid thinking that the November elections were a crucial moment in our state and national life. With the release of the 2010 census report on Tuesday, politicians in every state will be focused on gains and losses in congressional seats and electoral votes and on the task of reapportionment of

congressional districts. In many states, the November election will mean a switch in the political control of state legislatures and the concomitant advantages the winners will have because they will control reapportionment. In Kansas, the significant increase in the Republican majority will permit Republicans in the Legislature to control completely the reapportionment process, thereby giving them the ability to further solidify their dominance in state politics. All told, this has been a significant year on every front. Unfortunately, our economy remains in trouble, and commentators are now speaking of the “Great Recession.” In Kansas, the removal of federal stimulus funding from our budget means more years of financial austerity. The battle over health reform has now spread to the courts and the future of the president’s plans is in serious doubt. Iran and North Korea continue to be a threat to nuclear nonproliferation and global political stability, and, alas, our military forces continue to fight — and die — in Afghanistan and Iraq. The longest war in our national history continues. But every year brings new opportunities and new hope. May 2011 bring good things to the world, our nation, our state and our community. Have a good Christmas and a happy New Year. — Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

Kansas University Chancellor Laurence Chalmers said that YEARS despite recent AGO rumors in the wake IN 1970 of campus disturbances, he had no knowledge of his job being in jeopardy. He added that if he were to resign, as some had suggested, “it would not help to solve the university’s problems.” The U.S. Supreme Court voted to uphold the key provision of a new law allowing 18-year-olds to vote in presidential and congressional elections. (At the same time, the court approved a fiveyear suspension on literacy tests for potential voters.)

From the Lawrence Daily World for Dec. 22, 1910: YEARS “Overbrook, a AGO little inland village IN 1910 18 miles southwest of Lawrence, is greatly excited today over a daring burglary which occurred there this morning. Sometime between 2 and 3 o’clock burglars broke into the Hart general merchandise store, the most pretentious trading place in the little town, and carried away a load of choice merchandise. The thieves were discriminating and of the twelve suits abstracted from the stock, they took only the highest priced. Sixty yards of silk, the costliest in the store, was taken, together with ten pairs of shoes and two suit cases. While no tracks were visible over the frozen ground, it is believed that the burglars must have had a vehicle to haul away their booty. The robbery is very similar to the silk robberies at Olathe and other small towns this fall.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

5th mountain lion in state verified WICHITA — Kansas officials have verified another mountain lion. The Wichita Eagle reported that the mountain lion was photographed by a trail camera in Nemaha County on Dec. 7. This is the fifth mountain lion verified in Kansas since 2007, when a Barber County landowner shot and killed one on his property. Before that, the last official verification of a mountain lion in the state occurred in 1904. Officials with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks learned about the Nemaha County photos last week. Matt Peek of the department says a staff biologist inspected the area where the photo was taken to verify that it was the same spot pictured. Officials suspect the animals are coming from areas with expanding mountain lion populations. In late October a Kansas bowhunter also found photos of a mountain lion on a trail camera in Republic County. Peek was one of the biologists who investigated that location and verified the photos. Republic and Nemaha Counties are along the Nebraska border and about 100 miles apart.

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Brett, Robinson linked For those taking long flights to spend the holidays with family seeking a crafty way to put the finishing touches on shopping, here’s a tip: Buy a book, read it on the airplane, wrap it, put a name on the card, stick it under the tree. Two reads for the price of one. Former Kansas University chancellor and American League president Gene Budig penned just such a book that quickly can become a gift. (Just don’t eat anything sloppy while reading it and nobody will know it’s used.) In his third and final of a series of books that are his essays on nine big names with whom Budig has crossed paths through the years — this one titled “Clearing the Bases: Nine who did it with grit and class” — two chapters especially caught my attention because I’ve always linked them together as part of a very rare breed: underrated Hall of Fame baseball players. George Brett and Frank Robinson, by definition as Hall of Famers, are famous, just not as famous as many players who didn’t will victories as regularly as they did. On the surface, they don’t have much in common. Robinson began his career in 1956 and ended in 1976; Brett’s went from 1973 to 1993. Robinson played in the right corner of the outfield and batted from the right side of the plate. Brett played in the left corner of the infield and batted from the left side of the plate. Robinson was a great power hitter who made good contact. Brett was a great contact hitter who had good power. Watching Brett always called to mind watching Robinson because of the way both men played the game. Every pitch, whether they were at the plate, in the field or on the bases, these guys were in your face, getting every edge possible, thinking of nothing but how to score runs and prevent the other guys from scoring them. “Frank played to win,” Budig said in a phone interview. “It was OK if fans loved him, but that was not his goal. His sole preoccupation was winning. Brett was more fan-friendly. Brett was great with fans until the first pitch was thrown. Then he moved into a different zone.” Budig said he became close with Brett. “I think it always troubled him that he did not have a degree, especially since he was very successful in business and he was as well-spoken as any college graduate,” Budig said. “I stayed after him about taking classes (at KU’s Johnson County campus). He would have been a superior student. He would have read five books when only one was required. He would have approached that as he did learning hitting from Charlie Lau. No matter what he was taught, he wanted to learn more.” Robinson was baseball’s dean of discipline for part of Budig’s reign as AL president. “He’s emotionless,” Budig said of Robinson, who hit 586 home runs without the aid of injections. “No emotion. Just the facts. He’s Joe Friday. When the curtain came up, he was there with his recommendation, and he never backed away from it.” That’s what made Brett and Robinson even better than players with comparable statistics. Baseball’s a game of reflexes. They made the most of theirs by playing so aggressively. On the path to winning, they never backed away from anything, be it a collision at the plate or a head-hunting hurler.

CALIFORNIA GUARD GARY FRANKLIN (4) AND FORWARD HARPER KAMP (22) CELEBRATE their victory against Cal Poly on Saturday in Berkeley, Calif. The Bears welcome the Jayhawks to Haas Pavilion tonight.

B E R K E L E Y , C A L I F . — Brady Morningstar, who has lived in Lawrence the vast majority of his life, has a favorite getaway spot in scenic San Francisco.

It always helps to be able to work outside when it’s not 100 degrees.” Morningstar — he averages 5.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists a game for the No. 3ranked Jayhawks (10-0) — will feel some familiarity on this trip, which is KU’s first true road trip of the season. The Jayhawks beat Ohio and Arizona in Las Vegas and Memphis in New York City in three neutral-site games. “I think it’s awesome,” Morningstar said of playing a game on somebody else’s campus. “I can’t wait to wear our blue jerseys.

KU commit a confident quarterback By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

It takes less than five minutes of talking to him to realize two things about Brock Berglund, the latest Kansas University football commitment who orally pledged to join the Jayhawks on Monday. Berglund switched First, Berglund is confident. his commitment Extremely. Second, he was born to be a quarterback. from Colorado Reached by phone Tuesday to Kansas

night, Berglund sounded as if he had just come off the gridiron after his team’s state championship victory earlier this month. He was upbeat, enthusiastic and happy to share the details of what led him to Kansas. But before getting into all of that, Berglund was asked one simple question: Whom do you resemble on the football field? He swung for the fences with his answer. “I would say Tim Tebow,

Michael Vick and Peyton Manning kind of all put together,” Berglund said. “I’m not comparing myself to those guys or anything like that, but if I had to say what my skill-set was like, I would say those three guys.” Berglund continued: “My ability to make plays outside of the pocket is a lot like Michael Vick’s. When it’s third-and-27 and you’re just trying to get a few yards to punt, he makes a first down or a touchdown. Tim

Tebow’s just a leader on the field and a motivator, and I like motivating. And I’d say I prepare like Peyton Manning does in the way that I watch tons and tons of film in a week and like to get ready for anything a defense can throw at me.” Berglund even went as far as to divulge that he has Tebow’s patented jump pass in his arsenal.

Kansas women’s team back to full strength KANSAS AT CREIGHTON When: 5:30 p.m. today Where: Qwest Center, Omaha, Neb. Records: KU 10-1, Creighton 6-4

J-W Staff Reports

For the first time this season, the Kansas University women’s basketball team will hit the road at full strength. Sunday, during a 91-52 rout of SIU Edwardsville, KU welcomed back starting guards Angel Goodrich and Marisha Brown. When the Jayhawks play at

Creighton at 5:30 tonight, both will be available yet again, which, according to KU coach Bonnie Henrickson, only means good things for her team. “Just to get those two back in the flow and back in the rotation is really good for us right now,” Henrickson said after the victory against SIUE. It’s not that the Jayhawks have

been lost without Goodrich and Brown. Far from it, in fact. At 101, KU is off to its best start since opening the 2005-06 season with a 12-0 mark. But getting the two injured guards back adds to KU’s depth and opens up new opportunities for Henrickson. Brown is averaging 7.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in the three contests she’s played in, while

Goodrich, in four starts, is averaging 5.3 points, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals a game. Kansas is led by three players averaging in double figures — Carolyn Davis (18.5), Monica Engelman (14.7) and Aishah Sutherland (12) — and is beating opponents by an average of 23.5 Please see JAYHAWKS, page 5B

COMMENTARY

UConn win not loss for UCLA By Bill Plaschke Los Angeles Times

It was yet another empowering landmark reached by an amazing group of athletes, yet it felt hollow and forced. Because, once again, a triumph by women was measured against something achieved by men. Everyone is chortling about the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team breaking the UCLA men’s record 88game winning streak Tuesday, except, well, they didn’t. Different game. Different league. Different records. Everyone is yakking about how Connecticut Coach Gino Auriemma is the new John Wooden except, well, he’s not. Different game. Different league. Different coaches. After his Huskies shredded Florida State, 93-62, Auriemma said the right thing in referring to the Bruins’ 1971-74 streak, telling an interviewer, “I’m not John Wooden, and this isn’t UCLA. This is Connecticut, and for us, this is good enough.” But earlier, his team and its fans didn’t act like it. It was less of a game than a celebration. At the final buzzer, the ESPN announcer summed up the atmosphere by claiming, “UConn has one-upped UCLA!” It has not. It cannot. Why would it even want to? “By saying those sort of things, people not only take credit away from UCLA, but they take credit away from Connecticut,” said Nan Muehlhausen, John Wooden’s daughter, in a phone interview. “If Daddy was alive, he would be very happy for them, he loved women’s basketball. But why can’t they celebrate for what they are?” A more enduring question, perhaps, is why do we keep doing this to women’s sports? Why do we keep judging their achievements by those of their male counterparts? Why can’t we just celebrate great female athletes for being, you know, great female athletes? It’s a waste of precious time, attention and the ideals of gender equity. It’s not equal if you act as if the men’s game is so much more important, you celebrate breaking a men’s record as if you just won a championship. It’s sort of like the excitement over a woman dunking. Why? Who cares if a woman can dunk? That is not why fans love women’s basketball. That’s not what the sport is about. The female Huskies indeed broke an incredible record Tuesday night — they broke their own record of 88 consecutive wins. Auriemma is indeed a great coach who should be compared to other great coaches — such as Tennessee’s Pat Summitt and Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer. This should have been yet another night to embrace the fundamental beauty of the women’s game and the incredible consistency of Connecticut in owning it. Instead, TV viewers were treated to cutaway shots of Bill Walton’s hooks and Jamaal Wilkes’ jumpers. It felt like watching a baseball team attempting to break a record set by football players. Different isn’t always worse. Sometimes different is just different. Can’t Connecticut win without UCLA losing? The Huskies have the best college women’s basketball program in history, and shame on all of us if they need to play against the specter of a men’s team to prove it.

McNabb felt ‘disrespect’ from benching ASHBURN, VA. — Donovan McNabb felt disrespected by the way he was benched by Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan. “Everything was handled awkwardly,” McNabb said Tuesday on his weekly radio show on ESPN980, “somewhat to a disrespect to me and to the team.” Making his first public comments since his demotion last week, McNabb said he strongly disagreed with the decision, but he has a bigger problem with the way he says the organization leaked the news to the media before informing him. “Because of the timing and because of all the leaks and everything that was put out there, and no putting out the fire, so to speak,” McNabb said, “I’m hearing everything through the media.”

BEEF ‘O’ BRADY’S BOWL

Louisville rallies past So. Miss ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. (AP) — Justin Burke threw for a pair touchdowns, and Jeremy Wright scored on a 95-yard kickoff return Tuesday night to help Louisville beat former Conference USA rival Southern Mississippi, 31-28, in the Beef ’O’ Brady’s Bowl. Burke tossed scoring passes of 11 yards to Cameron Graham and 10 yards to Josh Chichester while the Cardinals (7-6) erased a 14-point first-half deficit, then produced a go-ahead field goal in the fourth quarter. Austin Davis threw 205 yards and two touchdowns to become Southern Mississippi’s career TD pass leader, moving ahead of Brett Favre and Lee Roberts in the Golden Eagles record book with 53 in three seasons. The Southern Miss QB also scored on a 17-yard reception from receiver Quentin Pierce. Wright’s long kickoff return made it 28-all early in the fourth quarter. Chris Philpott’s 36-yard field goal gave the Cardinals their first lead with 6:30 remaining. Davis completed 19 of 32 passes, including TD throws of 32 yards to Pierce and eight yards to Zeke Walters. In addition to becoming the Southern Miss career TD pass leader, the junior moved into second place on the school’s career passing list with 7,396 yards — 299 short of the 7,695 Favre threw for from 1987-90. Meanwhile, Desmond Johnson scored on a 62-yard run and finished with a seasonhigh 107 yards rushing. The win enabled Louisville to finish Charlie Strong’s first season as a head coach with the Cardinals’ first winning record since 2006. Bilal Powell rushed for 75 yards for Louisville — well below his season average of 120.9 — however the 215pound senior was instrumental in helping the Cardinals exhaust most of the clock after finally taking the lead.

KSU’s Pullen, Kelly suspended KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Preseason All-America guard Jacob Pullen, who had made 82 consecutive starts for No. 11 Kansas State, was suspended by the NCAA for three games just before the Wildcats’ game against UNLV on Tuesday night. In a statement, the school said Pullen and senior forward Curtis Kelly were being punished for receiving imper-

missible benefits in connection with the purchase of clothing at a local department store. It said the length of Kelly’s suspension had not been determined by the NCAA’s student-athlete reinstatement staff. Pullen and Kelly are the two top scorers for Kansas State (9-3). Their loss is certain to weaken the Wildcats signifi-

cantly. Pullen, a four-year starting guard, will also miss games against MissouriKansas City and North Florida. “These young men have worked hard to represent themselves and Kansas State in a positive manner,” coach Frank Martin said in a statement. “Having said that, they made a mistake in judgment and have to pay a price for that.”

BIG 12 ROUNDUP

P ullen is the Wildcats’ team leader and preseason choice as Big 12 player of the year. He’s averaging 16.5 points and 3.8 assists and is the first Kansas State player selected to the preseason All-America team. He had played in 115 games and is a three-time team captain. Kelly is averaging 10. 3 points and four rebounds.

KU today visits Cal’s campus in Berkeley for the first time since the 1956-57 season, when KU beat the Golden Bears, 6656, behind 23 points from freshman Wilt Chamberlain. KU, which beat Cal, 84-69, last year at Allen Fieldhouse, leads the all-time series, 15-3. “Kansas is Kansas. They’re really good,” Cal coach Mike Montgomery told the Oakland Tribune. “It’s a great opportunity to play against Kansas,” Cal senior Markhuri Sanders-Frison said. “Everybody knows they’re a good team ... but they’re beatable.” “It’s big, not only for our Oklahoma 66, team, but our conference,” Sacramento State 53 noted freshman guard Gary N O R M A N , O K L A . — Calvin Franklin. “We have something Newell came off the bench to to prove playing ranked teams.” score a career-high 17 points in only 17 minutes as Oklahoma remained unbeaten at Coaching milestone home.

UNLV knocks off K-State, 63-59 The Associated Press

UNLV 63, No. 11 Kansas State 59 KANSAS CITY, MO. — Tre’Von Willis scored 16 points, and Oscar Bellfield hit a key threepointer in the final 70 seconds, leading UNLV to a victory Tuesday night over Kansas State, whose two best players were suspended shortly before the game. The NCAA, citing receipt of impermissible benefits, told point guard Jacob Pullen, a four-year starter and preseason All-American, to sit out three games. Curtis Kelly, the Wildcats’ only other senior, was also told not to play, and Kansas State said the extent of his punishment would be decided later. The Wildcats (9-3) had trouble adjusting to the absence of their senior leaders and top two scorers and lost their second in a row. Bellfield’s three-pointer gave the Runnin’ Rebels (11-2) a 59-54 lead with 1:10 to go. Martavious Irving’s running layup sliced the lead to 59-56, but Willis had two foul shots, and Bellfield hit one in the final seconds to seal the victory over the highestranked team the Rebels had played in the regular season in more than three years. Nick Russell had 12 points for Kansas State. Rodney McGruder, who lost a tooth in the final minutes when he crashed to the floor after making a steal, had 11.

No. 23 BYU 72, Weber State 66 OGDEN, UTAH — Jimmer Fredette scored 28 points, including a pair of free throws down the stretch, and the Cougars held off Weber State.

He was asked if Montgomery gets overlooked nationally sometimes. “I think by coaches, he’s definitely respected. By maybe media and the people that read the media outlets, probably not as much in large part because he’s been on the West Coast instead of the East,” Self said.

Selby starting soon? KU senior Brady Morningstar realizes he or senior Tyrel Reed could be coming off the bench as soon as tonight. Self has said freshman sensation Josh Selby will become a starter sooner rather than later. “Coach is going to put him wherever coach feels he’s the most comfortable. Coach knows what is best for the team,” Morningstar said. “We’ve got to do what coach says, and it will work out.” Self said, as of Tuesday night, he had not decided whether Selby would come off the bench for a second straight game or start.

This, that KU visits Haas Pavilion for the first-annual Pete Newell Classic (one game a year will be dubbed the Newell Classic) as the highest-ranked nonconference opponent since 1958 when No. 3 Kansas State visited Berkeley. ... The Bears, who are 4-2 at home this season, have won 42 of their last 46 nonconference home games. Cal went 15-1 at home last year, the lone defeat coming in overtime against UCLA. Montgomery’s three Cal teams are 35-5 at home.

good team like Cal on the road. It can help prepare us for the (Big 12) conference,” Morningstar said. Cal, the fourth Pac-10 team to play KU so far this season, takes a 6-4 record into the game following Saturday’s 5141 home victory over CalPoly. The Bears have top-quality wins over New Mexico (89-64), Temple (57-50) and Iowa State (76-73 in Ames),

while losing to Notre Dame, Boston College, San Diego State and Southern Miss. The Bears, who fell to KU, 84-69, last Dec. 22 at KU, are paced by 6-8 junior Harper Kamp (13.1 ppg) and 6-3 junior Jorge Gutierrez (12.6 ppg). Right behind in scoring: 67 senior Markhuri SandersFrison (9.1 ppg), 6-2 freshman Gary Franklin (8.3 ppg) and 6-6 freshman Allen Crabbe (7.4 ppg). “They’ve played one of the

toughest schedules in the country,” KU coach Bill Self said of the B ears, who according to one site have the country’s third-hardest schedule to date. KU’s is 20th. “They’ve got a couple young guards playing a lot of minutes. Their big guys are good. “We need to play somewhere in a true road game, a true away crowd,” Self added. I’m sure they’ll have a lot of people there in Haas Pavilion. I’ve only been there one other

time, Jason Kidd’s first-ever game as a collegian. I was at Oklahoma State. It didn’t go well.” The Bears beat OSU that day as they did a batch of teams in the two-year Kidd era. “It’s always good to get that last win before Christmas,” Self said. He’ll let the Jayhawks head to their hometowns for the weekend holiday following the game. “I’m sure both teams will be motivated.”

The Jayhawks should be fired up, coming off Saturday’s narrow two-point victory over USC of the same Pac-10 Conference. “I think it’s going to be a difficult atmosphere,” said KU junior Tyshawn Taylor, coming off a six-turnover, one-assist performance versus the Trojans. “It is our first true away game. I’m sure that anyone who plays against us is going to be juiced and ready to play. We are going to go out there and

do what we do, just try to get better.” Added Markieff Morris: “We need to show togetherness, to see if we are together as a team in a true road game. Cal is a good team. They showed it against us last year. It’ll be a great challenge for us. We have to make shots and guard. It’s what we’ll have to do to win at Cal.” — Assistant sports editor Gary Bedore can be reached at 832-7186.

HARTFORD, CONN. (AP) — No. 89 came and went as effortlessly as nearly all their previous games. This season. Last season. And the season before. UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma, never at a loss for words, was close Tuesday night. “It’s pretty amazing. It really is,” he said. No exaggeration there. His No. 1-ranked Huskies topped the 88-game winning streak set by John Wooden’s UCLA men’s team from 197174, beating No. 22 Florida State 93-62. Playing with the relentlessness that has become its trademark — and would have made Wooden proud — UConn blew past the Seminoles as it has so many other teams in the last 21⁄2 years. “I don’t want my team to compare themselves to anyone,” Auriemma said. “I’m not John Wooden, and this isn’t UCLA. This is Connecticut, and that’s good enough.” Maya Moore had a careerhigh 41 points and 10 rebounds, and freshman Bria Hartley added 21 points for the Huskies, who have not lost since April 6, 2008, in the NCAA Tournament semifinals. Only twice during the record run has a team come within single digits of UConn — Stanford in the NCAA championship game last season and Baylor in early November. When the f inal buzzer sounded, UConn players sprinted across the floor to shake hands with the student section as fans held up “89” signs, and “89” balloons bobbed in the stands behind center court. Asked what he would recall from the incredible run, Auriemma mentioned a pair of experienced stars on this team: “I’ll probably remember Maya Moore and Tiffany Hayes. And how incredibly difficult it is to play that many games in a row and win ’em all.”

Collins recalled from D-League CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Bobcats have recalled point guard Sherron Collins after his five-game stint with Maine of the NBA Development League. Collins is expected to rejoin the reeling Bobcats in time for

Tuesday’s game at home against Oklahoma City. Th e u n d ra f te d ro o k i e f ro m K a n sa s Un ive rs i ty averaged 12 points and 3.2 assists while shooting 40 percent from the field with t h e Re d Cl aws . H i s b e s t

game was an 18-point, eightassist performance against Springfield on Dec. 17. The Bobcats are looking for different lineup combination after three losses by 31 or more points in the past 10 days.

Wade embracing holiday season S O U T H M I A M I , F L A . ( AP ) — Dwyane Wade had some trying moments in 2010. The fight for custody of his kids continues, his divorce became final, and he nearly left the Miami Heat. Others, he knows, have it so much worse. Wade spent Tuesday reaching out to those in need, taking 10 families on a shopping spree and visiting sick kids at a children’s hospital with his Heat teammates. He’s done similar things around the holidays for years, and said he’s grown to appreciate it now more than ever. “Moments like this and times like this really click and make you understand what life is about,” he said. “When you get opportunities to be out in the community and change people’s lives, it makes everything else feel like, ‘Ah, so what?’ This is what’s important.”

The Heat have emphasized charitable events, especially around holidays, for years. All players and many staffers visited two hospitals Tuesday, a scheduled day off for the team. Parents who didn’t know what awaited at Baptist Children’s Hospital couldn’t believe it when Wade, Jamaal Magloire, Carlos Arroyo, Eddie House, Juwan Howard, Joel Anthony and Dexter Pittman arrived. Other players, including LeBron James and Chris Bosh, visited another hospital. “All they said was that some Heat players were coming,” said Tiffany Fonseca, whose 6-year-old son Max was hospitalized with a severe cold. “I didn’t think Dwyane Wade was coming.” When Wade entered the room, Max — coincidentally dressed in Heat pajamas — was stunned into silence. He

was to be discharged a few hours later, but meeting Wade was the highlight of his day. “It’s so touching that they take the time,” Tiffany Fonseca said. “They have their holidays to prep for, too.” Details of Tuesday’s events were not publicized beforehand so the emphasis was on those who were actually benefiting. There was a time when seeing sick or needy kids would bring Wade down but, after eight years in the NBA, he’s figured out how to make these events uplifting — for the families involved and himself. “I know that I’m able to make a big impact just by my presence,” he said. “Some of them look at me as one of their own, part of their family. You walk into a room and get a big smile, that makes a huge difference for me.”

BRIEFLY Rockets want disabled player exception HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets have asked the NBA for a disabled player salary cap exception in the wake of Yao Ming’s season-ending ankle injury.

Yao has been out since Nov. 10, and the team announced last Friday that he had a stress fracture in his left ankle. The seven-time AllStar, who missed all of last season following reconstructive foot surgery, appeared in only five regular-season

games this year before going down again. The disabled player exception would allow the Rockets to acquire a free agent, or trade for a player without having to match salaries, up to the value of the midlevel exception (about $5.75 million).

Thunder 99, Bobcats 81 C H A R L O T T E , N . C . — Kevin Durant scored 32 points, and Oklahoma City overcame a poor shooting night by dominating the fourth quarter in a victory over reeling Charlotte on Tuesday night. The Thunder entered the final period trailing 69-68, but responded with a 25-3 run. The Bobcats missed their first 11 shots, committed five turnovers and didn’t get their first field goal until 2:52 remained, producing sarcastic cheers. Durant hit 14-of-16 free throws and added seven rebounds. Russell Westbrook scored 15 points.

Mavericks 105, Magic 99 ORLANDO, FLA. — Caron Butler scored 20 points, Dirk Nowitzki had 17, and Dallas became the latest team to topple the reconstructed Magic. Tyson Chandler added 16 points to help the Mavericks pull away in the fourth quarter for their 16th win in 17 games. A night after winning at Miami, they shot 50 percent from the floor, including 46 percent from three-point range. The Magic again looked like a team that hasn’t had time to hold a practice since newcomers Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson and Hedo Turkoglu were acquired on Saturday.

Bucks 98, L.A. Lakers 79 LOS ANGELES — Earl Boykins scored a season-high 22 points, John Salmons added 20, and short-handed Mil-

waukee stunned the Lakers, snapping the two-time defending champions’ fivegame winning streak. Kobe Bryant scored 21 points, and Pau Gasol added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Lakers, who bellyflopped in their final tuneup before a Christmas visit from the Miami Heat. Ersan Ilyasova had 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Bucks, who had lost three straight and were down to nine healthy players against the Lakers, who had beaten them six straight times. Yet with sturdy defense that held the Lakers to their franchise-low in points against the Bucks, Milwaukee jumped ahead early and finished the game on a 21-7 run, holding the Lakers scoreless for nearly four minutes down the stretch.

The class is limited to the first 20 people to register. Developed by Stanford University, KOHP is designed to help people manage their health and control chronic disease symptoms. It is not a prescriptive program. Instead, the participants choose their own goals and track their own progress toward success. It is currently used in over 39 U.S. states and internationally in 15 countries. During the program, the participants will learn how to: ● Deal with problems such as frustration, fatigue, depression, pain and isolation. ● Maintain and improve strength, flexibility and endurance through exercise. ● Use medications appropriately. ● Communicate effectively with family, friends and health-care teams. ● Include a healthy diet as part of your day. The program will provide opportunities for discussion and problem-solving in a mutually supportive setting. It will help participants regain control of their life and do the things that mat-

ter to them, help them feel better and connect with others. If you or someone you are close to has an ongoing health concern, such as arthritis, diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer or chronic pain, and are looking for better ways to manage your symptoms, then this program may be for you. It will put life back in your life. Q: What is the difference between stone-ground wheat flour and wholewheat flour? A: Several kinds of wheat flour are available for sale, with the most popular being enriched and bleached allpurpose flour. The differences between flours come down to the type of wheat, the parts of wheat included, the processing of the wheat and any additives made to the flour. Whole-wheat flour contains the germ (the embryo of the wheat kernel) and is more flavorful than regular all-purpose flour which does not include the germ. Because whole-wheat flour contains the germ and bran, it contains more nutrients and fiber as compared to enriched flour. Whole-wheat flour should be stored in the refrigerator to prevent the germ oils from becoming rancid. Almost all the flour sold is steel ground, meaning a large machine with steel hammers or rollers crushes and grinds the wheat kernels

down. This is a very efficient means of producing flour, but the steel surfaces heat up with the high speed and volume of wheat being ground. This heat causes some of the vitamins in steel-ground flour to be destroyed during the grinding process. Alternatively, stoneground flour is produced by the relatively slow grinding of large stones together (with the wheat in the middle). This type of flour is harder to find and almost always leaves the germ intact when producing wholewheat flour. There is no heat buildup, so all the nutrients stay intact as the flour is made. Look for the words “Stone Ground Whole Wheat” on the front of the package, and the very first ingredient on the back should read “whole-wheat flour.” Q: Is it safe to give older infants foods that contain honey as an ingredient such as graham crackers? A: Your question is a good one. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends honey not be given to infants younger than 12 months, due to the possibility of the presence of botulism spores. These spores can grow and produce toxins in the infant’s intestinal tract, which can in turn cause a potentially deadly food poisoning. Baking doesn’t kill the botulinum spores, so avoid honey in all forms, even in cookies or graham crackers, until your baby is a year old. The digestive tract of a child older than 12 months, like an adult, can safely digest honey without the risk of illness. — Susan Krumm is an Extension agent in family and consumer sciences with K-State Research and Extension-Douglas County, 2110 Harper St. She can be reached at 843-7058.

ly thick. The cookies are better if they are thick and soft instead of thin and crispy. Use your favorite cookie cutters to make shapes. A word to the wise: smaller cookie cutters are more difficult to use, and ones with really intricate shapes are often hard to be successful with. I always break the heads or legs off the reindeer. Bake at 350 for about 12 minutes or until the tops are just starting to get golden. Let your little beauties cool on a rack, and in the meantime, whip up some of my really fancy icing. I put about a cup of powdered sugar in each of four bowls, because I planned four colors. Then I started measuring in milk, a teeny tiny bit at a time. Probably a tablespoon will do it. This is tricky because you want the icing to be spreadable, but not runny. If you think it looks too thin, add a little more sugar. Likewise for the milk, if it’s too stiff. You can see here that if I pull my spoon through it, it maintains its shape for a minute before it fills in behind. This is a good thing. Frost away! It’s fun! Nevermind that mine look like a five year old did them. Yours will be much better. I didn’t have a piping bag with me and I didn’t care. ●

Sarajane and I made cookies a couple of Saturdays ago, so don’t think for one minute that those sugar cookies were the only product of the day. I don’t have space here to go through all the kinds we made (that girl is totally a MACHINE) but I would feel sorry for you if I didn’t show you my second favorite cookie of all time: the craisin, chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. I know what you’re think-

ing. My husband was the same: “Ugh. Oatmeal. Yuck.” But trust me, these babies are a knockout. Even Mr. Meat and Potatoes had to admit, reluctantly, that this was one of the best cookies he’d ever had. These oatmeal cookies are thin, chewy and lacy. They are not at all reminiscent of a granola bar. They are not dry, and they are not particularly healthy. I hate that when people take something perfect like a cookie and try to healthy it up. If you’re about healthy eating, then DON’T EAT COOKIES. There’s no need to ruin them for the rest of us.

BEST OATMEAL COOKIES EVER 2 sticks butter, softened 11/2 cup granulated sugar 2 cups brown sugar 2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 eggs 3 cups flour 2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg a pinch of ground clove 2 cups quick oats (although I’m not sure that matters) 1 bag chocolate chips 1 bag dried cranberries 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest (this is a key ingredient - don’t skip it)

Drop onto a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about ten minutes. ●

A few years ago I made red velvet cake balls for a party I catered, and they were well-received but I hated making them. It was messy, time-consuming, and, as my mom would say, “putsy.” This year, I did something a little different. On the afternoon of our annual Christmas Chaos party, I decided to bring a

little sweet treat and whipped up a batch of Oreo cookie balls, and this process made me a lot happier than the cake version. With the cake, you have to bake a cake, let it cool, rip it into pieces, and mix in frosting before you make the balls. In my new and improved version, you just dump a whole package of Oreo cookies into the food processor with one block of cream cheese. Yep, that’s totally the ticket. So, one package of Oreos, mixed with cream cheese. Form it into balls. Refrigerate the balls for a couple of hours. Melt some almond bark in the microwave - about half a package (but be careful not to overdo it - my first batch burned, so watch carefully). Stick a toothpick in the top of each Oreo ball, and dip it in the chocolate. I found it worked best if I dunked it and then spooned the almond bark over the top. Then deposit the ball onto waxed paper. You can decorate these really fancy. I did some with crushed peppermint candy, some with green and red sugar. But if I’d been really ambitious, I would have melted some chocolate chips and drizzled the chocolate artfully over the tops. But that is an extra step, and I am not about putting extra steps into a process created solely for simplicity. Best wishes for a fantastic holiday from our family to yours. Peace on earth, good cookies to men.

HOLIDAY BRUNCH RECIPES

Butter a 9-by-11-inch ceramic or glass baking dish. Remove crust from bread (use the crusts to feed the birds or dry them out for breadcrumbs). Tear bread into small pieces. Layer half of them in the baking dish. Slice the cream cheese. Arrange cream cheese slices over bread; sprinkle with nuts. Cover with remaining bread. Beat eggs, half-and-half or milk, honey and vanilla in bowl. Stir in the melted butter. Pour this mixture over the bread and press it gently all over to make sure the bread is soaked. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Uncover the dish and bake 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm.

— Recipe from www. organicvalley.coop

CRANBERRY ALMOND BISCOTTI 3/4 cup finely chopped almonds 3 cups flour 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon almond extract 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 lemon, zested 3/4 cup chopped dried cranberries 1 orange, zested

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Toast almonds in single layer on baking sheet, tossing once or twice, 5-10 minutes. Cool. Grease a clean baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Using a second bowl, beat eggs with extracts and lemon and orange zests. Stir egg mixture into dry mixture until nearly incorporated; stir in almonds and dried cranberries until sticky dough forms. Dump dough onto floured surface, divide it in half and shape it into two smooth 2inch-thick logs. Place the logs four inches apart on baking sheet. Bake in top half of oven until golden, 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven. Reduce temperature to 300 degrees. After logs have cooled 10 minutes, used a serrated knife to cut them on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Lay the slices on the baking sheet and continue to bake them, turning each biscotti halfway through baking, until crisp but not darkened, about 20 minutes. Transfer biscotti to racks; cool thoroughly. Store airtight. — Recipe from www.organicvalley.com

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 1 cup chopped onion 4 cups potatoes, cooked, cubed 1 pound Mexican chorizo, cooked and drained 6 large eggs, lightly beaten salt flour tortillas, warm tomato salsa (bottled or homemade) Freshly ground black pepper

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large sauté pan (non-stick works well) over medium flame. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Raise heat and stir in potatoes and chorizo. Cook, tossing the mixture occasionally, until heated through and lightly browned. Push the potato mixture to the sides of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining oil to the center of the pan. Stir in the eggs and let them scramble until barely cooked, then combine them with the potato mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. For each burrito: Spread 1/2 cup or more of the mixture along the length of the center of the tortilla. Spoon on some salsa. Fold the two ends over the filling and roll the burrito up. Dig in.

APRICOT CARDAMOM WREATH BREAD 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/2 cup butter 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk 2 teaspoons salt 2 (1/4-ounce) packages active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees) 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup sour cream 3 eggs Filling 2 to 2 1/2 cups water 1/4 cup brandy or water 1 (6-ounce) package dried apricots, chopped Egg Wash 1 egg, slightly beaten 2 tablespoons milk Large pearl sugar

Stir together 1 cup sugar and cardamom in 2-quart saucepan. Add butter, evaporated milk and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted (5 to 8 minutes). Cool to warm (105 to 115 degrees). Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water in large bowl. Add warm milk mixture, 3 cups flour, sour cream and eggs. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour by hand to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Place in greased bowl; turn greased-side up. Cover; let rise in warm place until double in size (about 1 to 1 1/2 hours). Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched. Meanwhile, combine 2 cups water, brandy and apricots in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally and adding small amounts of additional water, if necessary, until apricots are tender and mixture is thickened (40 to 45 minutes). Set aside. Punch down dough and divide in half. Let rest 10 minutes. Roll half of dough on lightly floured surface to 20x9-inch rectangle; cut into three 3-inch strips. Spread each strip with about 3 tablespoons apricot mixture to within 1/2-inch of edge. Bring 20-inch sides together. Pinch sides and ends

tightly to seal well. Gently braid filled strips together. Place braid onto greased large baking sheet and form into wreath. Pinch ends to seal well. Repeat with remaining dough and apricot mixture. Cover. Let rise 30 minutes. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir together 1 egg and milk in small bowl. Brush breads with egg mixture; sprinkle with pearl sugar. Continue baking for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheets; cool on wire racks. TIP: For best results, bake one wreath at a time.

‘C’ is for Christmas cookie I

know I’m a little late to the party with this, but I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t share with you a couple of Christmas cookie recipes. I mean, for me, Christmas is all about the cookies. I know there’s wine and chocolate and hard candy and ham and cheeseballs and Chex mix and all manner of other fabulous treats to gorge on during the Christmas season, but the thing I look forward to all year, the thing I love the most, is Christmas sugar cookies. I realize these days people have gone crazy over Christmas sugar cookies, and decorate them with bags of royal icing, or they make little edible photos and paste them on, and they do it all so that each cookie is a piece of art in itself. That is not how I roll. I am a baking failure in general, because it’s time-consuming and specific. My brand of cooking is fast and loose, and that’s just not where baking is at. So, if I am going to bother to make cookies at all (and, bother, I will) I am certainly not going to spend all day delicately outlining a snowflake with a stitch pattern and scripting the name of every family member and acquaintance in the centers. Nope, I’m going to slap some powdered sugar frosting on them and be done. Because that’s how my mama did it, and that’s how I like ‘em. So, I’m going to share with you my mom’s sugar cookie recipe. It is the best one. Ever. Just trust me. The cookies are sweet and soft and perfect, and they’re not mucked up with any nutmeggy flavors or weirdness of any kind.

Save on cost and fuss with a simpler holiday meal By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

Christmas morning is often filled with presents and toys for good little girls and boys. But what about their rumbly tummies? Here’s an idea: Forgo a big ol’ pain-inthe-butt Christmas dinner for Christmas brunch. It’s easy to make ahead of time, lowkey and sets the kids up with lots of energy to play with their new toys. Need more motivation? Note that this year, exactly a month falls between Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Who the heck wants to wrestle two turkeys into the oven in one 30-day span? A lump of coal to that idea. Instead, try friendlier items that are just perfect for noshing before present opening: scones, French toast, eggs, breakfast burritos and more. See recipes on page 9B. Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, it’s a pretty good way to start a Saturday — and stay energized all day long. — Staff writer Sarah Henning can be reached at 832-7187.

Seen recently nuzzling Moe Szyslak on “The Simpsons” Christmas episode, Katy Perry is set to open “A Home for the Holidays” (7 p.m., CBS), the annual performance showcase and holiday celebration intended to raise awareness of children in need of adoption and the families that have been enriched by the arrival of adopted children. Other scheduled performers include Melissa Etheridge, Maroon 5, Ricky Martin and Nelly. ● They don’t climb every mountain, but they have climbed the pop charts. “Top Ten Monks” (7 p.m., HBO2) explores the curious stardom of an order of Austrian monks whose prayers sung in Latin as Gregorian chants have outsold Lady Gaga in many European markets. The Cistercian monks of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey did not go looking for fame. It found them in the person of Tom Lewis, a persistent Universal recording executive who had noticed that sales of Gregorian chants from their back order had been on the rise. He placed ads in Catholic newspapers looking for new talent, and the monks of Heiligenkreuz were among the last to answer. Both Lewis and the order’s Father Karl think that fans of their CD “Chant: Music for the Soul” are looking for something different and beautiful in a world that offers too much commercial sameness. After establishing their European fame and showing some of the monks sharing the couch on Germany’s version of the “Today” show (with a seemingly unamused Karl Lagerfeld), the film explores the world of a 12th-century order in the 21st century. Yes, the monks use cell phones, computers and have posted some of their “hits” on YouTube. They pray or chant more than six hours a day. Those looking for an austere existence will be surprised by the variety of work performed at the religious order. One monk confesses that he wrestled for a long time over the issue of chastity. I would have liked to learn a little more about the music performed and the musicality of the order. But viewers in search of something a little different should not miss “Top Ten Monks,” a holiday offering that succeeds in introducing some moments of the sublime and transcendent into the din of the Christmas countdown. ● Syfy kicks off a holiday schedule of marathons with 16 hours of “Ghost Hunters” and “Ghost Hunters International,” beginning at 8 a.m.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Stolen currency on “Undercovers” (7 p.m., NBC). ● A deadly killer stalks the suburbs at Christmastime on “Human Target” (7 p.m., Fox). ● On two episodes of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (8 p.m., NBC), a teen expires (8 p.m.), beaten and mutilated (9 p.m.). ● Kevin Pollak hosts “Million Dollar Money Drop” (8 p.m., Fox). ● A smoke detector rattles Phil on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC). ● An arson case may result in a murder trial on “The Defenders” (9 p.m., CBS). ● The guys need help from Yang (Ally Sheedy) to capture Dr. Yin on “Psych” (9 p.m., USA).

Oil spill saga voted top story of year Obama makes

political rebound, but can it hold?

Health care reform, tea party also make list

By Jim Kuhnhenn

By David Crary

Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill, triggered by a deadly blast at a rig used by BP, was the top news story of 2010, followed by the divisive health care overhaul, according to The Associated Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors. The oil spill received 54 first-place votes out of 180 ballots cast for the top 10 stories. The health care bill was next, with 30 f irst-place votes. The U.S. election was third. In fourth place was the U.S. economy, which had been voted the top story of 2009. Here are 2010â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top 10 stories, in order:

Gulf oil disaster The April 20 explosion at a BP-leased rig killed 11 workers and unleashed a deep-sea spill that ultimately spewed at least 170 million gallons of crude into the Gulf. Consequences included devastation for fishing and tourism industries, a huge and costly cleanup effort, a management change at BP, and creation of a $20 billion fund to pay for damages. Health care overhaul After bitter political wrangling, President Barack Obama was able to sign into law one of his major campaign promises â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a $1 trillion health care overhaul intended to expand coverage to more Americans. But Republicans used public misgivings about parts of the plan as a springboard for election gains, and the overhaul faced a welter of lawsuits challenging its constitutionality. U.S. elections President Obama called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shellackingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an election in which the Republicans surged to a majority in the House of Representatives, and gained more governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices and legislative majorities. The Democrats were

AN OIL-COVERED BROWN PELICAN IS SEEN June 3 on the beach at East Grand Terre Island along the Louisiana coast. The massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill was the top news story of 2010, according to The Associated Pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors able to hang on to their edge in the Senate, leaving the U.S. with at least two years of divided government.

U.S. economy Economists said the deepest recession since the Great Depression was over, and consumers began to spend more as the year neared a close. But the unemployment rate stayed well above 9 percent, and home prices were weighed down by foreclosures and sluggish demand. Haiti earthquake Already the Western Hemisphereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most destitute nation, Haiti was shattered by an earthquake on Jan. 12 that killed at least 230,000 and left millions homeless. Crucial reconstruction projects were slow to get started; disease and political instability added to the woes. Tea party movement Though it lacked the trappings of traditional political organizations, the tea party movement had a profound impact on the 2010 election, influencing the stances of Republican leaders and enabling some maverick challengers to oust GOP establishment candidates in the primaries.

Chile mine rescue In a year of disasters and squabbles, this was a miraculous feel-good story. Trapped nearly a half-mile underground for 69 days after an Aug. 5 mine collapse, 33 Chilean miners were freed one-by-one while an entranced global audience watched on television. Iraq U.S. forces formally ended their combat role and looked ahead to planned withdrawal, while Iraqis endured months of bitter political haggling after an election that failed to heal Sunni-Shiite divisions. WikiLeaks First came the online postings of a huge batch of U.S. military documents from Iraq and Afghanistan, Then WikiLeaks started releasing a cache of classif ied State Department diplomatic cables, creating embarrassment for Washington in its dealings with other nations. Afghanistan After months of deliberation, President Obama ordered a troop surge in a major bid to turn the tide of the nearly 10-year-old war. Intense fighting pushed the Taliban out of some longtime strongholds, but the militants

remained resilient, and Afghanistan remained beset by corruption and ineffectual government. It was a year of dramatic and diverse news events. Among the stories which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the top 10 were Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enactment of a tough law against illegal immigration, the European fiscal crisis, a Supreme Court ruling freeing corporations and unions to fund election ads targeting candidates, floods in Pakistan that affected 20 million people, and the volcanic eruption in Iceland that caused trans-Atlantic air travel chaos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wish we could have voted for a top 15 or 20, there were so many compelling stories this year,â&#x20AC;? wrote news editor Larry Lockhart of the Casa Grande Dispatch in Arizona. Jessica Runnels Rourk, an editor at The Post and Courier in Charleston, S.C., said the health care overhaul was a catalyst for other major political events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conservative anger over the law gave rise to the tea party movement, and the law itself became a symbol of the lack of bipartisanship in Congress that cost incumbents from both parties in Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections,â&#x20AC;? she noted on her ballot.

W A S H I N G T O N â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Barack Obama is rebounding from his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s midterm drubbing with the kind of lame-duck victory list any White House would want: a tax deal, a landmark repeal of the ban on openly gay military service, and the prospect of a major nuclear treaty with Russia. Each represents a different approach at deal-making, but none alone offers a clear path to governing in a divided capital over the next two years. In the seven weeks since the election, Obama negotiated with Republican leaders on taxes and left angry liberals on the sidelines. On the New START arms treaty, he sidelined GOP Senate leaders and negotiated with likeminded Republicans. And with the repeal of the Pentagonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell policy on gays in uniform, he delighted liberals, won Republican rank-and-f ile support and left conservatives fuming. Obama, whose first two years were marked by staunchly partisan votes on his signature initiatives, finds himself at a crossroads. Faced with an ascendant GOP and a restless electorate, the White House is happily holding up the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent successes as a sign of new outreach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a model for everything over the next two years, but it provides a strong foundation to build on,â&#x20AC;? Dan Pfeiffer, the White House communications director, said. The lame-duck congressional session, however, is not an altogether clear template for the future. Democrats for now still control the House and Senate; next year Republicans will take over the House and gain seats in the Senate. The lame duck issues that lent themselves to compromise were easier than the hurdles the White House, Democrats and Republicans

ANALYSIS will have to clear in the months ahead. And the next two years also lead inexorably to the 2012 presidential elections where confrontation, not cooperation, will dominate politics. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, Obama and Congress merely postponed key moments of reckoning. The tax cut agreement extended all Bush-era tax rates for two years. That leaves unsolved the question of what tax rates should be made permanent and which ones should be allowed to increase. That debate may well dominate the presidential election year. Congress also was unable to pass a major spending bill to keep the government operating, settling for a short-term, stop-gap measure that maintains current spending into early March. That means a new and contentious debate with a GOPcontrolled House over money to implement new health care and bank oversight laws that many Republicans oppose. And the Senate failed to advance an immigration bill that would have given a path to legal status to many young illegal immigrants who join the military or attend college. The legislation will be far more difficult to pass in the new Congress. Congress and the White House also have vowed to tackle sky-high deficits and the growing national debt, challenges that Obama himself acknowledged last week will be far more difficult than the tax deal he was signing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be moments, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certain, over the next couple of years in which the holiday spirit wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as abundant as it is today,â&#x20AC;? the president said. Still, the achievements of the lame duck session are remarkable and surprising, and they help cast Obama in a new light.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spider-Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to resume performances after another accident By John Carucci and Tom McElroy Associated Press Writers

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The producers of the troubled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spider-Manâ&#x20AC;? musical on Broadway said they have enacted new safety measures ordered by the government and will resume performances tonight. A spokesman for â&#x20AC;&#x153;SpiderMan: Turn off the Dark,â&#x20AC;? Rick Miramontez, said producers met with federal and state labor officials and the Actorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Equity Association on Tuesday to discuss additional safety measures after a performer doing an aerial stunt fell about 30 feet. He said the measures will be enacted immediately

but did not immediately say what changes the show would make. Producers postponed the musicalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled matinee today, but the web-slinger will take the stage again tonight. Firefighters were called to the Foxwoods Theatre at Monday night after the 31-year-old performer fell near the end of the latest preview performance. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital with minor injuries, police said. Police did not release the actorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, but a performer in the show identified him as Christopher Tierney.
