Wheat forecast has some worried

‘Every day, quitting crossed my mind’

“

In wintertime, it takes 5,500 calories a day to stay warm.

I ate probably 30 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups a day.”

Unpredictable crop, early freeze put farmers on edge

tion kept coming back. I had to have nine different surgeries. In one, they bored out my bone and filled it with antibiotic cement.”

His long struggle, which included “scary talk” about amputation, gave Weaver a chance to research the Appalachian Trail, which first captured his imagination as a sixth-grader. The trail, established in 1937, is the longest in the world. Each year, 1,800 to 2,000 hikers attempt to become “thru walkers” by trekking its length. It’s estimated a quarter actually realize that goal.

“I felt like I had to hike the Appalachian Trail to get better,” he said.

Many local farmers had to start planting their winter wheat later than usual last fall, so many of their seeds didn’t sprout before the cold season began. But Lloyd Wulfkuhle isn’t ready to make any predictions about this year’s crop.

“The old saying in the country is, ‘Wheat’s got nine lives,’ That’s the like a cat,” said Wul72, who farms way farming fkuhle, west of Lawrence and is — it’s a risk, planted just over 300 every year.” acres of winter wheat last fall. “There’s no way of knowing what’s — Bill Wood, going to happen until Douglas County the snow’s gone and it Extension director warms up, and we can see if it starts to grow.”

While he does admit that wheat not sprouting before the freeze is a rare occurrence, the last time it happened, he said, he ended up getting a decent yield, of more than 40 bushels an acre. So, again, it’s too early to tell. But it’s still unusual enough to worry farmers who haven’t been in the game as long as Wulfkuhle.

The late harvest for corn and soybeans last fall is what pushed back the winter wheat planting season, which usually happens by

LUKE WEAVER, 24, AND HIS DOG, CHARLIE, pose at home in Baldwin City last week, still recuperating from Weaver’s nine-month, 2,185-mile hike of the Appalachian Trail. Weaver decided to undertake the journey after almost losing his leg to a series of staph infections contracted after surgery for a football injury he suffered at Ottawa University.

Never walk again to never give up ———

Appalachian Trail a fitting comeback for area hiker

By Elvyn Jones ejones@ljworld.com

I

f your ambition is to walk the length of the Appalachian Trail, Luke Weaver advises you take a dog with a good nose and pack plenty of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Weaver gained those insights from walking the 2,185-mile trail that spans the nation’s mountainous Eastern spine. He started his hike May 15, two days after graduating from the North Central Kansas Technical School in

Beloit. The 24-year-old son of Baldwin City’s Rick and Vickie Weaver finished the journey last week.

The idea of walking the trail that travels through 14 states, from Georgia to Maine, gripped Weaver when he was facing the possibility of never walking again. That fearful challenge entered his life after surgery to repair a right knee injured while playing football at Ottawa University.

“I had three kinds of staph infections below my knee and going up my femur,” he said. “The fever and infec-

Crowd protests ‘religious freedom’ bill

By Scott Rothschild Twitter: @LJWrothschild

Topeka — “Shock,” “fear” and “embarrassment” were among the words protesters used Sunday to describe their reaction to legislation that would allow Kansans to cite religious beliefs to deny services to same-sex couples.

About 250 people attended a rally outside the Statehouse

in Topeka to show their opposition to House Bill 2453, which was approved last week by the House but halted in the

the Plymouth Congregational Church in Lawrence.

Luckey said he couldn’t believe the House would approve such legislation. He said people who disagree about whether same-sex marriages should be recognized “understand that LEGISLATURE discrimination is wrong” and Senate. called the bill hurtful and mean“This is a time when we need spirited. to take a stand,” said the Rev.

A CLOSE

Supporters contend the bill, approved 72-49 by the House, is needed in case a federal court strikes down Kansas’ constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, as has happened in other states.

Last week, Senate leaders put the brakes on the bill, saying it went beyond protecting religious beliefs and would have allowed businesses to refuse to serve gays and lesbi-

ans. A number of leading businesses and business groups also voiced opposition.

Although Senate GOP leaders said they wouldn’t consider HB 2453, they said they would propose alternative legislation to protect religious beliefs.

During Sunday’s protest, which was organized by the gay rights advocacy group Equality House of Topeka, participants formed two lines behind signs labeled “Second Class Citizens” and “Straight People.” The lines went up the south steps of the Capitol.

“The crazy thing is how many people you meet on the trail who have similar stories. They had a broken back, a leg injury or some hardship and thought they would never walk again.”

Helping him get started in northwest Georgia were two friends, Brian Hubbel and Anthony Ciambrone.

Hubbel was welcome company through 500 rugged Southern miles before suffering an ankle injury in Virginia, Weaver said.

Weaver’s companion for much of the remaining journey was his dog, Charlie, who his father and sister, Becky, brought when they joined him for July hikes in Virginia.

early October but this year stretched into November. Freezing temperatures then showed up before many of the plants had begun to germinate, also a result of the dry soil conditions; winter wheat generally needs exposure to the cold weather in order to mature properly.

Wheat is the third largest crop grown in Douglas County, with about 2,000 to 5,000 acres harvested every year.

But Bill Wood, director of Douglas County Extension, said it’s better that the seeds didn’t sprout at all rather than germinating only partially, which leaves them more susceptible to

“We don’t judge others,” said Dee Moore, of Topeka. “We think all are God’s children.”

Jeremy Morgan, also a Topeka resident, said when he first heard about the bill, it frightened him that he and his spouse, who were legally married in Iowa, could be denied services.

“We don’t want to be humiliated,” Morgan said.

“We want to be treated like everybody else.”

Weaver carried a sleeping blanket and tent, stopping for the night to pitch the tent under lean-to or three-sided shelters provided for hikers. In cold weather, when freshly resupplied with food, he packed 60 pounds on his back and Charlie packed another 10 pounds of supplies on his carrier.

“In wintertime, it takes 5,500 calories a day to stay warm,” he said. “I ate probably 30 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups a day.”

Blizzards hit the East during Weaver’s last months on the trail.

“Every day, quitting crossed my mind,” he said.

“There was some pretty terrible weather and a couple of negative-degree nights in January and February. There were some really close calls.”

Loneliness was also hard to endure and made tempting the thought of being home with family and friends. running out of energy and dying over the winter.

“But that’s the way farming is — it’s a risk, every year,” Wood said.

“Every time farmers plant their seeds they’re kind of rolling the dice on what the weather’s going to do.”

He added that the possibility of a poor wheat harvest exemplifies the need for crop insurance.

President Obama recently signed a new $956 billion farm bill that strengthens the federally subsidized crop insurance program, using savings from the elimination of the $5 billion a year in direct payments farmers had been getting whether they grew crops or not.

Many area growers didn’t plant wheat at all or planted less than usual because of the late corn and

Weaver said he went days without talking to anyone directly or by cellphone.

Those days were tough for the family, too, Rick Weaver said.

“The toughest part was when we couldn’t hear from him for a few days,” Rick Weaver said, “and we’d see on the Weather Channel he was in an area under a storm watch.”

Home at last, Luke Weaver is still unpacking what he gained from the nearly nine month adventure.

“It was definitely the biggest learning experience of my life,” Weaver said. “I feel like I learned things about integrity and persistence.

I thought I’d done difficult things and pushed myself hard, but it was a real eye opener. Doing it for my family was the biggest thing. I swear I would have quit if it weren’t for them. I know they wanted me home, but I just felt like I had to do it for them.” soybean harvest, noted Jay Armstrong, a Muscotah farmer who is the Kansas wheat commissioner for this district. He estimates that farmers in the region planted about three times as much wheat in 2012, when the drought ravaged their corn and soybean fields and allowed them to start planting wheat as early as August.

Eudora farmer Danny Abel said that while he has never experienced a winter wheat season like this one, some of the “old-timers” in the area have told him that things could still turn out OK. The seeds could germinate in the late winter or early spring, though the plants would then need another freeze to fully mature.

“I don’t know if that wheat is going to come up or not,” he said, adding: “Wheat’s kind of an unpredictable crop.”

Renewable energy standards an issue

By Scott Rothschild Twitter: @ljwrothschild

AFP ads blast renewable energy standards The influential Americans for Prosperity is running television ads calling for the repeal of renewable energy standards in Kansas.

The ads tie in former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and President Barack Obama and even toss in a picture of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, all Democrats.

Referring to the renewable standards, the ad states,

“Like Obamacare, it’s another government mandate we can’t afford.”

Passed in 2009, Kansas’ renewable energy standards call for major utility companies to generate 15 percent of their energy through renewable sources by 2016 and 20 percent by 2020.

KU team travels to Ukraine, visits protests

By Ben Unglesbee Twitter: @LJW_KU

It’s been more than 30 years since Marc Greenberg, a Kansas University professor of Slavic languages, last visited Ukraine.

Obviously, KANSAS a lot has UNIVERSITY changed.

The Soviet Union has folded. American chain restaurants have opened and European cars are on the streets.

In some ways, though,

the country is still wrestling with its past and its complex relationship with Russia. The past three months of protests and political upheaval in Ukraine have been a tense reminder of that. The protests also shadowed Greenberg’s visit to Kiev earlier this month.

Greenberg and two KU colleagues had planned the trip to a business management conference held by the Gabriel Al-Salem Foundation. Greenberg said that the conference organizers worried guests wouldn’t attend because of unrest, which began in November Please see UKRAINE, page 7A

N RARELY SEEN U.S. COINS LEAVE VAULT: These packages containing Vault Bags loaded with valuable Indian Head coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago are being moved from the private vaults of the World Reserve for immediate distribution to Kansas residents. Residents just need to look for their county on the Distribution List printed in today’s publication. If their county appears on the list, they need to immediately call the National Distribution Hotlines to claim the Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. coins before the 48-hour order deadline ends.

U.S. Gov’t Issued coins go to residents in 102 KS counties

Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins are actually being handed over to Kansas residents who find their county listed below, but only those who beat the 48 hour deadline are getting the Vault Bags of nearly 100 year old Gov’t issued coins for just $59 Allen Anderson Atchison Barber Barton Bourbon Brown Butler Chase Chautauqua Cherokee Cheyenne Clark

KANSAS - The phones are ringing off the hook.

That’s because for the next 48 hours Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen Indian Head coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago are being released to Kansas residents who find their county on the Distribution List printed in today’s publication.

Everyone is rushing to get the Vault Bags because each one is loaded with nearly a quarter pound of rarely seen Indian Head coins dating all the way back to the early 1900s.

“It’s hard to tell how much these heavy Vault Bags could be worth someday. That’s because after they were filled with U.S. Gov’t issued coins, the bags were sealed for good,” said Timothy J. Shissler, Director of Vault Operations for the private World Reserve.

Since this advertising announcement can’t stop collectors from hoarding all the rarely seen coins they can get, the World Reserve has imposed a strict limit of 10 Vault Bags per resident.

“Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but just imagine what these Vault Bags loaded with nearly a quarter pound of rarely seen Indian Head coins could be worth someday,” said Shissler.

That’s why it’s important that residents call the National Distribution Hotlines beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning.

Everyone who does is getting the Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago for just $59 and shipping and handling, which is a real steal since just one scarce and highly collectible Indian Head coin alone could be worth up to hundreds of dollars in collector value. And here’s the best part. Everyone who claims four Vault Bags before all the money is gone is getting free shipping and free handling.

“With all these coins up for grabs we’re bracing for all the calls and doing our best to make sure Kansas residents get through. But it’s important that residents find their county on the Distribution List and call the National Distribution Hotlines before the 48-hour deadline ends,” Shissler said.

“We know the phones will be ringing off the hook because we’re allowing residents to claim up to 10 Vault Bags. But to make sure residents who find their county on the Distribution List have a fair chance to get the coins, we’ll be strictly enforcing the 10 Vault Bag limit,” said Shissler.

“We’re bracing for all the calls because there are just hours left for residents to get the Vault Bags,” Shissler said.

So, Kansas residents who find their county listed in today’s publication need to immediately call the National Distribution Hotlines before the 48-hour deadline ends to get the Vault Bags. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. N

ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL

How to get the bags of U.S. Gov’t issued coins: Listed above are the Kansas counties that get the Vault Bags. If you live in one of these counties immediately call the National Distribution Hotline at: 1-866-210-2218 Who gets to claim the Vault Bags: Thousands of state residents stand to miss the deadline to claim these rarely seen Indian Head coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago. Now any resident who finds their county on the Distribution List printed in today’s publication and beats the 48-hour order deadline gets to claim the Vault Bags for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside.

How much are the Vault Bags worth: Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but here’s why residents are rushing to claim the Vault Bags before they’re all gone. After the Vault Bags were loaded with rarely seen coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t they were sealed for good. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you sort through all the coins. So you better believe at just $ 59 and shipping the Vault Bag fee is a real steal, since just one scarce and highly collectible Indian Head coin alone could be worth up to hundreds of dollars in collector value.

Why is the Vault Bag fee so low: Because thousands of U.S. residents have missed the deadline to claim the money, the World Reserve has re-allocated Vault Bags that will be scheduled to be sent out in the next 48 hours. That means the money is up for grabs and now any resident who finds their county listed in today’s publication gets to claim the Vault Bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Each Vault Bag loaded with nearly a quarter pound of rarely seen Indian Head coins is set at $78 for residents who miss the deadline, but for those who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $ 59 and the best part is everyone who claims four Vault Bags before all the money is gone is getting free shipping and free handling as long as they call the National Distribution Hotline before the deadline ends at: 1-866-210-2218

These are the Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen Indian Head coins that everyone is rushing to get for just $59. That’s because everyone who beats the 48-hour deadline to claim four bags is getting free shipping and free handling.

BRIEFLY Board mulling changes funding for technical and career education enacted to teacher licensing since 2011.

Topeka — Kansas State Board of Education officials are considering making changes to how teachers in Kansas are licensed in an effort to meet a growing demand for SCHOOLS technical education courses at high schools.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports the board discussed the changes during a meeting Thursday in response to a growing demand for courses resulting from new programs and

Capitol CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Coalition opposes appeals limits The Kansas Coalition Against the Death Penalty is urging House members to oppose a Senate-approved bill that shortens the time for inmates to appeal death sentences.

The Senate adopted the measure 27-13.

The bill sets a 3 1/2 year time limit for appeals to be heard and decided by the Kansas Supreme Court.

Supporters say death penalty appeals take too long, while opponents said the bill will weaken the reliability of capital murder appeals.

Center CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Shawn Leigh Alexander, associate professor of African and African American studies at KU, says open discussions of race and racial issues are important for modern society.

“Even though we can say we have an African American president, we’re not a post-racial society,” Alexander said.

“We must understand how race continues to operate in American society and what we can do to come to grips with it.”

The Langston Hughes Center program, cosponsored locally by the Dole Institute of Politics, Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area, and the Department of African and African American Studies, began this month with screenings of “Slavery by Another Name.” The next screening will occur at 2:30 p.m.

Feb. 18 at the Dole Institute of Politics, 2350 Petefish Drive.

To complement the film, Alexander will present the lecture, “Worse than Slavery: Race, Violence, and the Defining of the Nation in Post-Emancipation America” at 7:30 p.m.

Feb. 27 in the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area of the Carnegie Library, 200 W. Ninth St.

A representative of the Kansas National Education Association raised concerns during the meeting that the licensing changes could lead to teachers who lack the necessary instructional skills to adequately educate students.

Ukraine CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

after president Viktor Yanukovych, under pressure from Russia, pulled out of a trade deal with Europe.

With thousands protesting in the street, the Ukrainian government responded with a violent crackdown. For now, a sort of calm has settled, though protestors remain in Ukrainian cities.

Up close and personal with a revolution Taylor Broadfoot, a KU senior in Russian and part of the team that went to Kiev, said, “I was a little nervous, obviously, because some of the news coming from that area … was really focused on how violent it all was.”

Up until the day before they left, the team pondered whether the trip would be safe enough to take, Greenberg said.

They even checked in with the U.S. State Department, which told them that protests and violence were localized and the country overall was safe.

Once in Kiev, the group went to see protest encampments up close dur-

ing their sightseeing time.

At a prominent square, protestors had barricaded themselves behind fencing and anything else they could find, even last year’s Christmas trees, Broadfoot said.

Within the protest site, “people were perfectly safe,” Greenberg said. A miniature, independent city had formed behind the barricade, with a diverse group of protestors working together to clean, provide food and gather firewood. The protestors offered the KU team sandwiches.

At the conference, the group had a chance to talk with Ukranian businesspeople who were watching the political situation carefully. During a seminar, they heard from a Ukrainian businessman in the infrastructure sector who “spoke forthrightly and eloquently about how corruption had undermined much of the work that he and others had been trying to do,” Greenberg said.

Surreal to watch At the same time, Greenberg said the speaker and others seemed optimistic about the country’s future. “Ukrainians seem themselves as hardworking, industrious people.”

And yet the country has

| 7A

“an enormously powerful neighbor that could come in and squash everything.”

Vitaly Chernetsky, a KU associate professor of Slavic languages and literature, grew up in Odessa, Ukraine, and said he has close friends among the activists and protestors.

“It is surreal to watch this from the outside,” Chernetsky said.

For Ukrainian protestors, “First and foremost it was about the desire to be seen as part of Europe and the European family,” he said. That doesn’t just mean the bureaucracy of the European Union but also the idea of Europe — its notions of personal rights and human dignity.

Many people have joined the movement against Yanukovych’s administration because it is viewed by many as heavyhanded and corrupt in a way that resembles the crony-capitalism seen in Russia, Chernetsky said.

Even with those tensions, the country’s protests and political uncertainty did nothing to scare off Broadfoot. “I would love to go back to Ukraine,” she said. “I found it a wonderful, hospitable, beautiful country.”

Movie Buffs Think you know who will win the movie awards on March 3rd?

“

We hope people will watch the films, go home and think about the issues, come back to hear the lecture, then start a meaningful dialogue in their homes and communities.”

— Shawn Leigh Alexander, KU associate professor of African and African American studies

Alexander said providing a lecture alongside the films helps generate a meaningful dialogue.

“We hope people will watch the films, go home and think about the issues, come back to hear the lecture, then start a meaningful dialogue in their homes and communities,” Alexander said.

The program will continue in March with screenings of the 2012 Emmy award winner, “Freedom Riders,” at 2:30 p.m. March 3 and 10 at the Dole Institute and 7 p.m. March 3 and 11 in the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area of the Carnegie Library.

KU’s Clarence Lang will deliver the accompanying lecture, “The Con-

gress of Racial Equality, the Freedom Riders, and the Early Civil Rights Movement,” at 7:30 p.m.

March 27 in the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area of the Carnegie Library.

The Langston Hughes Center program will feature the 2013 Emmynominated films, “The Loving Story” and “The Abolitionists” in September and October.

The Langston Hughes Center program is made possible through a grant from the NEH as part of its “Bridging Cultures” initiative, in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. For more information on the films and the national project, visit createdequal.neh. gov/.

Body Boutique to build expansion; Some sponsors write tweets city contemplates outdoor ice rink Olympians’ during games

Maybe by the next Winter Olympics I won’t have to convert my kitchen floor into an ice rink to participate in the beautiful sport of figure skating.

As we reported in December, leaders with Lawrence Parks and Recreation had some interest in a downtown, outdoor ice skating rink. Well, the idea has gained momentum.

The department is spending about $1,200 to have the architects of the Lawrence Public Library expansion determine how the plaza area between the library and the new parking garage could be modified to accommodate a rink.

Jimmy Gibbs, one of the department’s division managers, said it appears the plaza could accommodate a 60-by-80-foot rink if one of the three planned terraces is removed.

The rink, which could hold about 125 skaters at a time, would be designed to be disassembled when not in use so the plaza could be used for summer concerts and other such events.

But parks and recreation leaders also are considering artificial ice.

view, Mo., operates a rink with artificial ice and the reviews apparently have been good. The product is a slick, smooth plastic like material that allows skaters to use regular ice skates.

“We could have a Christmas in July event in downtown if we wanted to,” Gibbs said.

Parks and recreation leaders should know more in the next few weeks about the feasibility of the plan. Ultimately, city commissioners will be asked to weigh in. lll

The women-only gym near Ninth and Iowa streets is undergoing a $700,000 renovation, and a big part of it is to add a new indoor cycling studio.

Lorinda Hartzler, the gym’s owner, told me Body Boutique is expanding into 8,000 square feet of vacant space in the Hillcrest Shopping Center that is between the gym’s existing location and Crimson & Brews, a local tavern where I have perhaps spun my wheels once or twice.

The expansion will have several elements, but a big part of it will be a new 30-station indoor cycling studio that will feature the brand-name Spinner bikes. The studio also will feature a large video screen that will give riders the sense they are traveling through scenic areas, such as a trail up Mount Everest or along

the path of the Iditarod dog sled race.

Work has just started on the expansion project, and Hartzler hopes the new space will be ready to open in June. Hartzler said without the expansion the club was going to have to start capping its membership. She said the fitness movement in Lawrence remains strong, and said it has grown to be about more than just a physical workout.

“When I built this existing space 10 years ago, people just wanted to get in and get out,” Hartzler said. “But our members are becoming more social than they’ve ever been. We’re designing a lot of space just for people to socialize.”

BRIEFLY ‘Lego Movie” blocks studio estimates Sunday.

The action-packed “Ro‘RoboCop’ at box office boCop” reboot from Sony Los Angeles — “The Lego Movie” built a huge lead ahead of the weekend’s new releases at the box office.

In its second weekend, the Warner Bros. animated film featuring the voices of Chris Pratt and Will Arnett earned $48.8 million to take first place, according to

and MGM nabbed third place with $21.5 million.

Virtual currency invites real crime New York — Law enforcement officials say criminals cashing in on the

anonymity of virtual currency need more roadblocks in the way of regulations.

Several law enforcement experts in recent weeks have urged for better controls to stem crime that has emerged since Bitcoins became popular.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. says state regulators need to help tame a digital Wild West.

Deputy U.S. Attorney Richard Zabel said at a hearing last month that criminals think it’s easier to conceal their activities, identities and proceeds with Bitcoins.

Prosecutors in Liberty Reserve say the Costa Rica-based operation processed 55 million illicit transactions worldwide for 1 million users.

Sochi, Russia — Between photos and insights about their Olympic experience, some Olympians are turning over their social media accounts to sponsors, agreeing to quotas of postings on Twitter and Facebook and letting other people send commercial messages in their name.

The agents for U.S. figure skaters Ashley Wagner and Gracie Gold both say sponsors draft some of their tweets, plugging their brands.

“This is the first Olympics where I actually have a social media calendar, where an athlete has to tweet or mention something on a given day,” Gold’s agent, Yuki Saegusa, said in an interview.

“We get a list of tweets or social media things that need to be posted and then we approve them for her,” said Saegusa, senior vice president for Olympic clients at sports management giant IMG. Although they “encourage” Gold to post the pre-packaged commercial tweets to her 65,000 followers herself, sometimes others do it for her.

“We want it to be from her point of view, and from her mouth and from her fingers. So we try to get her to do them — mostly,” Saegusa said.

“We’re in a very new age now where a lot of advertising, or PR, or promotions, is social media.

That’s becoming a very important aspect of marketing.”

“

We get a list of tweets or social media things that need to be posted and then we approve them for her.”

—Yuki Saegusta, figure skater Grace Gold’s agent

Wagner’s IMG agent, David Baden, said athletes’ sponsorship deals are now starting to specify “how many tweets, how many Facebook mentions and even Instagram” photos they must post.

“That is part of the contract now. That is how important social media has become,” he said.

“The last Olympics that was not the case.”

Baden, an IMG vice president for Olympic clients, worked with skating bronze medalist Joannie Rochette at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

He said they have access to Wagner’s account, so they can post commercial tweets to her 60,000 followers.

“It’s not like Ashley doesn’t know about these. I mean we send her all these. She had to approve all of them, and so it’s not that she does not know what is being said. She’s seen it. She’s part of this whole process,” he said.

Sponsors make sure schedules of tweets are adhered to.

The agents did not specify which of their athletes’ tweets in recent months were drafted and posted on their behalf.

Stormy lessons Will Superstorm Sandy spur another aftershock of criticism and corruption like the one that followed Katrina?

I

n August 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, causing the deaths of 1,800 people along the Gulf Coast and an estimated $135 billion in damages. The storm wrecked — some say devastated — New Orleans.

In the eyes of then-New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, President George Bush, not the hurricane, was the real villain.

According to Nagin and many other prominent Democrats, Bush was responsible for the city being unprepared to deal with a damaging hurricane. He was guilty of not getting sufficient supplies to the city and not giving city officials enough help in dealing with the flooding, which covered 80 percent of New Orleans. Most everything that went wrong was the fault of Bush and his administration.

Nagin, in his 2002 campaign for mayor, promised to clean up city hall and said “corruption is no longer going to be tolerated.” He used the hurricane and his trashing of Bush as a way to polish his political image and shift the spotlight from his own shortcomings to Bush.

Now, nine years after Katrina, a federal jury has found Nagin guilty of bribery and conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering and tax charges involving $500 million. He faces about 20 years in prison.

There was a lot of finger-pointing during and after the deadly hurricane, and, using hindsight, there surely are things the federal government, Louisiana state officials and Bush as president could have done differently to be of more help. However, it is clear Nagin and his fellow Democratic city officials in New Orleans failed in numerous prehurricane preparations and in their response during and after the storm. He was a crook and used the hurricane to build a false national image and to fatten his personal bank account.

Hopefully, lessons learned in the Katrina disaster will help school, city, state and national officials to prepare for future national disasters and to navigate such trouble and confused times with honesty in their personal and professional dealings.

Nine years after the recent Superstorm Sandy that hit the New Jersey shoreline, could there be a similar Katrina-like finding of fiscal and personal misconduct — this time with a Republican governor and a Democrat in the White House?

Putin critics take courageous stand Washington — Amid the television extravaganza of the Sochi Olympics, I had a chance to visit last week with a Russian whistleblower named Sergey Kolesnikov. Back in 2010, he had revealed what he claimed was a network of corruption that included a billion-dollar palace on the Black Sea allegedly built by wealthy businessmen for Vladimir Putin.

As with the athletes who are taking great risks in Sochi, the wonder with Kolesnikov is that despite the dangers, he’s still on his feet. He hasn’t been back to Russia since he made his allegations about Putin, in a December 2010 interview with me and a simultaneous open letter to then-President Dmitry Medvedev. He offered documents and photographs to support his tale of the wildly ornate Italianstyle villa, supposedly built by cronies so that Putin could entertain VIPs in the run-up to the Olympics.

Kolesnikov’s account was one of the first detailed inside exposes of the billionaires’ club surrounding President Putin, and his allegations were later explored

by The New York Times, the Financial Times and other publications. Putin’s spokesman has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, characterizing the charges as “nonsense” and “nothing but absurd.”

Kolesnikov says he’s as enthralled by the Olympics as anyone else. “It’s a beautiful show of free competition among athletes, which

But he contends that because of insider deals and gross overspending in Sochi, “once the athletic part is over, many questions will be unanswered” for Russians taxpayers who are left with the bills.

Russians are famous for their stoicism and determination to prevail. Usually we associate those qualities with Russian athletes, or determined soldiers on the battlefield. But Kolesnikov reminds me that this stubborn attachment to a cause is true for Russia’s democratic opposition, too.

The Putin regime has tried ferociously to suppress dissent, but the anti-corruption protesters and human-rights

activists keep on coming.

Their bravery is a reminder that democratic activism isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon.

This feisty determination is epitomized by a young anti-corruption activist named Alexei Navalny. He famously called Putin’s United Russia coalition “the party of crooks and thieves,” and castigated him during Russia’s 2011 parliamentary elections and 2012 presidential race. He was arrested and convicted on criminal charges in 2013, but was freed by a nervous Putin government the day after he was sentenced. He said last April that he planned to run for president himself on a promise “not to lie and not to steal.”

In this Olympic season, Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation has posted a funny assault on the Putin crowd on its website, sochi. fbk.info. Under the rubric, “Champions of the corruption race,” it awards sarcastic medals to Putin insiders in such categories as “Classic Embezzlement,” “Verbal Freestyle,” “Pairs’ Contracting” and “Skating the Figures.” One Putin business chum is scored for receiving contracts for 30 Olympic projects; another is tagged for overseeing a boondoggle that spent $7 billion on a road-and-rail link that covered 30 miles.

Putin himself is lambasted on Navalny’s site for having claimed, less than a year ago, that the Olympics would cost just $6.5 billion, which was less than earlier estimates. “The main issue

is to be sure nobody steals anything,” Putin said at the time. That must bring a smile today to many Russian lips. Total spending is estimated at $51 billion, making Sochi more than seven times as costly as the previous winter games in Vancouver.

The power of activists such as Navalny is that they appear to be fearless. They continue advancing despite intimidation, arrest and even imprisonment. We’ve seen a similar spirit on the streets of Kiev in Ukraine this winter. No wonder the Russians are worried. Once such a democratic movement gains momentum, it isn’t deterred by threats; indeed, it seems almost to thrive on them.

Kolesnikov told me last week that after he made his allegations in December 2010, a Russian insider warned him, “Traitors don’t live long.” He says that he responded by asking how long those who betrayed the interests of Russia would live. As I wrote after our first meeting, “Kolesnikov is one of those brave souls a journalist meets occasionally, who decides to expose what he sees as wrongdoing, regardless of the personal risks.”

The Olympic season is a time to celebrate courage and determination. Looking at that spirit in today’s Russia, on the ice rink or off, I am reminded just how tough and unflinching the country’s people can be when they are committed to a cause.

Energy truths To the editor: Calls for a “carbon tax” are misguided. If the goal is to reduce “carbon footprints,” then all products must be included. “Green energy” is not very green when the purchase/installation costs are barely paid for before expensive repair/replacement is needed. Manufacturing “green” products creates a carbon footprint that vastly outweighs the product’s carbon benefit.

Driven by ethanol mandates, marginal ground has been carved up to produce corn, increasing water pollution and destroying conservation habitat. Ethanol will only be slightly better than using gasoline in 2022, but the trade-offs in fertilizer use and fuel consumption will take 48 years to reach the breakeven point in greenhouse gas emissions. Production of lithium-ion batteries for electric cars is not environmentally friendly. Factoring in the carbon cost of transmission facilities and production, “green energy” is not green at all. How do those costs in terms of carbon footprint stack up against coal, natural gas or petroleum?

And it’s been given special dispensation to damage and destroy the environ-

ment. Solar farms damage bird populations, and wind farms kill a good number of raptors with immunity.

Where is the outcry from environmentalists? Silence.

If an oil/gas company were causing the damage, “the hue and cry” would be deafening. Just look at the Keystone Pipeline.

I, personally, like wind, solar and small-scale hydro, but I’m honest with myself about their real cost. How about the whole truth for once?

Ken Meyer, Lawrence

Balanced plan To the editor: Recently, Doug Compton has confirmed intent to develop another multi-story residential building downtown. There is concern about it seeming incongruous with the surrounding buildings and catalyzing the trend to neglect the preservation of downtown’s historical air. While I sympathize with the sentiment of historic preservation, it’s important to balance it with embracing contemporary trends and considering community and environmental needs. Compton’s proposition is a necessary addition to downtown but should be mindfully implemented.

First, as the proposed site is opposite important histor-

ical sites, special consideration should be given to the building’s appearance. This would include a restriction on height and choosing an architectural style that is contemporary, yet complementary to its neighbors.

Second, the design should reflect our community’s commitment to sustainability by mandating a minimum adherence to LEED standards or passive heating and cooling systems. Finally, an effort should be made to ensure affordability and promotion of social equity.

Living downtown shouldn’t be limited only to those with high incomes.

There are a multitude of stakeholders in downtown development; its design, financing and execution should be transparent and genuinely participatory.

Too often, I have attended a Lawrence City Commission meeting only to find the majority public opinion undermined by developers with deep pockets. Individual public concerns regarding Compton’s project should be addressed and resolved before the project is approved. And perhaps we should collectively fashion a downtown development plan with clear parameters so as to avoid the same arguments over every proposal.

Schuyler Kraus, Lawrence

Douglas County commissioners were considering a two-lane years alternative to ago the proposed IN 1974 four-lane Clinton Parkway.

The reconsideration of the project was due to the possibility of funding failure. Commissioner I. J. Stoneback said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project could tie into a new county road that would link the lake to West 23rd Street. Commission Chair Walter Cragan had said earlier that the county might be forced to build a two-lane road and buy the right-of-way for a four-lane road if attempts at federal funding fell through.

The charges of felonious assault are the result of an alleged attack last night upon one Melvin Howe, a taxicab driver employed at the Francisco barn. The three are alleged to have attacked the taxi driver and to have made threats to kill him.... Howe told the police that he was attacked by the three last night some time after midnight, that he was beat into insensibility and consequently seemed to be short on details of the affair. “ — Compiled by Sarah St. John

Atlanta — Gunfriendly lawmakers in Georgia want people licensed to carry a gun to be able to avoid arrest if they accidentally bring their firearms into the security checkpoint at the country’s busiest airport and willingly leave the security line.

The initiative comes as gun rights groups in Georgia push state lawmakers to broaden the places where people can legally take guns, including churches and bars.

The labor union representing airport security screeners opposes loosening laws banning guns at security checkpoints, especially after one TSA officer was killed and three other people wounded last November in a shooting at Los Angeles International Airport.

Federal law prohibits people from carrying guns onto planes, though passengers can legally take a firearm if they declare it to authorities and follow rules about storing them in checked baggage. TSA officials turn over to local police anyone caught illegally carrying a gun at a security checkpoint. What happens next depends on local law.

Kansas’ Sims left off invite list

KANSAS BASKETBALL

Per(ry)fection

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University running back James Sims has been here before.

Overlooked by those who sent out the invitations to the NFL Combine, which starts Saturday and runs through Feb. 25, Sims finds himself in the familiar position of having to prove himself without any help from anyone else.

He did exactly that for four seasons at Kansas, where he heard year after year that someone new, someone better, was heading to campus to take his starting spot in the Jayhawks’ backfield. It never happened, of course, and Sims finished his Kansas career as a four-year starter who led the team in rushing Sims for four consecutive seasons and set career-highs each time.

The totals left him with the third-highest career rushing total (3,592) in KU history and second all-time in rushing touchdowns (34) and 100-yard games (16).

While those accomplishments forever will be a part of his KU legacy, they mean very little right now, as Sims is focusing his efforts on earning a spot in the NFL. KU coach Charlie Weis said throughout his two seasons with Sims that the 6-foot, 200-pound tailback had all the tools needed to make it in the NFL and play for a long time.

“He doesn’t have a glaring weakness,” Weis said.

“I can’t see one reason why he wouldn’t play on Sunday. I think he’s a nice, solid player. I’d want him on my team.”

Sims’ omission from the NFL Combine hardly spells the end of his hopes at a pro career. Although Combine attendance has proven to be a solid indicator of how one will fare in the NFL Draft — May 8-10 — it is not the endall be-all of one’s chances at making an NFL roster.

In recent years, Kansas has become the poster school for unheralded players finding their way onto an NFL roster after going undrafted. Last season, former KU players Chris Harris and Steven Johnson held down starting roles during the Denver Broncos’ run to the Super Bowl. Neither Please see SIMS, page 3B

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FORWARD PERRY ELLIS DELIVERS A DUNK in front of TCU forward Amric Fields during the first half of the Jayhawks’ 95-65 victory Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. Ellis continued his recent surge with 32 points against the Horned Frogs.

Show me a straight-A student, a high school valedictorian, and I’ll show you a perfectionist. Perry Ellis is no exception.

“I definitely am like that,” Ellis said.

Academic perfection was attainable in high school for Ellis, but not without a lot of sweat, he insisted.

“It was definitely tough for me,” he said.

“It didn’t come easy for me. I had to work to get those grades. That’s why I always tell people anybody can do it. You just have to work hard at it, and good things will happen.”

Ellis always has worked hard at his basketball skills as well. He just now is getting comfortable with the reality that while straight A’s were attainable in the high school classroom, not even the best who ever played the game can achieve it on the court.

“With basketball, I’m like that, too, and that can mess you up at times,” Ellis said of his perfectionist nature.

“You can’t do everything perfect in sports. You mess up. That kind of gets to me sometimes. I’m just trying to learn to get past that part, the sports aspect of it. I can definitely say I get kind of hesitant sometimes, being a perfectionist. I know I can do it, but I haven’t perfected it yet.

I’m really trying to work on that, not worrying about being perfect in sports.”

Leaving his man to supply help on defense doesn’t come naturally to him, he said, and pointed to that as the No. 1 place he needs to improve. He said he also needs to continue to improve the accuracy and range of his jump shot.

Chances are, given his nature, he already has Please see KEEGAN, page 3B

It’s the key number few analysts talk about leading up to the NBA Draft.

You can hear all about a pro prospect’s points per game, field-goal shooting percentage, rebounds, steals, height and weight. But little time is spent on the number that really should matter the most — age.

The issue of one-and-done players isn’t a new one in college basketball. Ever since the NBA and the players’ union agreed on a minimum age requirement of 19, programs such as Kentucky, Kansas and even Duke continue to see their rosters become revolving doors of players spending one season at school and jumping to the NBA. No longer can fans — or coaches for that matter — count on players to remain loyal to a school, not with the lure of the NBA and all of its glitz, glamour and money.

According to the latest ESPN NBA Mock Draft, eight of the top 10 players are freshmen, with only Creighton’s Doug McDermott over the age of 20.

If NBA executives follow suit, it would be a record number of freshmen picked in the top 10.

Whether it’s Kansas’ Joel Embiid or teammate Andrew Wiggins or Duke’s Jabari Parker, it looks like a freshman will hear his name called by the commissioner as the first overall pick in this year’s NBA Draft for the fifth straight season.

Last year’s NBA Draft featured three freshmen taken in the top 10, including top pick Anthony Bennett (Cleveland).

Nerlens Noel (Philadelphia) and Ben McLemore (Sacramento) were the other freshmen to crack the top 10. All three have struggled, with Bennett averaging less than 13 minutes of playing time per game while scoring less than four points per contest.

Noel continues to rehab from a torn ACL injury he suffered in college and is expected to miss all of this season, while McLemore is averaging a little more than 23 minutes and seven points per game this season for the Kings.

And as NBA executives continue to raid the college game, the league has found itself in a bit of a struggle. Going into this weekend’s action, nine teams this season have a winning percentage below 40 percent including the three teams that drafted Bennett (Cleveland), Noel (Philadelphia) and McLemore (Sacramento).

While there appears to be plenty of raw talent, it’s development of the talent that appears to be the issue. Development not only as players, but individuals, that could be occurring at the college level.

Like his predecessor, new NBA commissioner Adam Silver wants to see the minimum age limit raised to 20.

“I’m very skeptical of it happening,” said Seth Davis, who is a college basketball insider for CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network. “The players’ union doesn’t want it. They didn’t even want it to be at 19.”

Davis says the issue is a low-priority for both sides and there is little concern for its impact on the college game.

The players’ union doesn’t want the minimum age raised, according to Davis, because the older a player is when he comes into the league, the fewer contracts you would sign over your career and the less money you make.

“So shockingly, this is about money,” Davis said. “I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Webb birdied the 18th hole to take the outright lead, then watched as Choi, who shot a course-record 62 on Saturday to take a share of the third-round lead, pushed a 10-foot putt wide of the hole at 18 to miss the chance for a playoff.

Webb, who clinched her 40th LPGA title, finished at 12-under 276 overall. She previously won the Australian Open in 2000, 2002, 2007 and 2008.

KU BASKETBALL

Embiid practices

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman center Joel Embiid “practiced full speed today,” coach Bill Self was happy to report Sunday.

Embiid, who was slowed by knee and back injuries while playing just 18 minutes in Monday’s loss at Kansas State, was held out of Saturday’s win over TCU. He’s slated to play in Tuesday’s 7 p.m. game against Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.

Embiid, who according to Self could have played against TCU, has had no structural damage in his knee or back. His physical problems have been more of the severe-bumps-andbruises variety.

“The thing about it is, this time of year more than anything, it’s not so much if you get yourself energized as much as how does your body feel,” Self said. “There’s a lot of bodies across America right now. There’s a lot of guys that have got a lot of nicks and a lot of guys that are playing with turned ankles or this or that, and they’re sore, but they’re not hurt and things like that, and I do

think that’s natural this time of year.”

Embiid is one block shy of tying Eric Chenowith for the school record for blocks in a freshman season. Embiid has 61 blocks.

Embiid has at least one block in 18 consecutive games. Chenowith’s longest streak stopped at five straight his freshman season (1997-98). l

Withey in the house: Former KU center Jeff Withey of the New Orleans Pelicans has averaged 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds while playing 8.9 minutes a game in 29 games at the All-Star break of his rookie season. He has 14 blocks.

“It’s great. It’s a learning process from college.

It’s a lot different. It’s a longer season,” said Withey, who attended Saturday’s KU-TCU game. “I’m really happy where I’m at being in New Orleans. I like all my teammates. I will continue trying to get better.

“I’m excited to see a (KU) game,” he added of KU’s 95-65 victory over the Horned Frogs. “I’ve not been able to see any of the games, even on TV because we’re so busy

extended his range beyond what any of us know, he just hasn’t pulled back the curtain for us to see it yet.

He did provide a sneak preview in Saturday’s 9565 victory against TCU. Ellis went 2-for-2 from beyond the three-point semicircle on his way to 32 points and eight rebounds on a day he made 13 of 15 shots from the field.

And this came one game after Kansas State coach Bruce Weber suggested that Ellis is MVP of the Big 12.

Ellis’ recent scoring surge If I play — he at the averaged 25.5 points next level, last week that’s the in a loss at Kansas position State and (small forthe TCU ward) I’ll win at most likely home — be at. I could in part be won’t be in traced to filling the the post.” void created by in- — Perry Ellis juries that limited Joel Embiid to 18 points at K-State and kept him out of the TCU game.

Or could it also be that Ellis is at the beginning of another mid-February growth spurt such as the one he experienced as a freshman? He shot .392 from the field in his first 26 games last year, .603 in his last 11.

His offensive skill set is so versatile he has the potential to give the man guarding him nightmares, regardless of who else is on the court with him. He blows by big men who chase him to the perimeter and has the shooting touch to make them respect his jumper.

Offensively, he’ll have little trouble making the move to the perimeter, if that’s where Kansas needs him in future years.

“Eventually I’ll have to transition into that,” Ellis said. “If I play at the next level, that’s the position (small forward) I’ll most likely be at. I won’t be in the post.”

Fortunately, talk about when Ellis will try to play in the NBA isn’t relevant at the moment. Chances are, two years from now, his name will surface in conversations about the nation’s best seniors.

Movie talk: Looking back on Friday’s premiere of the movie “Jayhawkers,” Self said he especially enjoyed scenes involving KU’s 54-53 triple-overtime loss to North Carolina in the Daniel R. Patmore/AP Photo 1957 NCAA title game.

“We see things all the WICHITA STATE’S FRED VANVLEET, RIGHT, GOES UP FOR A SHOT as University of time that remind us of Evansville’s Egidijus Mockevicius (55) and Duane Gibson close in. WSU won, our history,” Self said. 84-68, Sunday in Evansville, Ind. “There’s one thing we haven’t touched base on TOP 25 BASKETBALL ROUNDUP was the triple-overtime loss to Carolina in ’57.

I’ve known about it, but I don’t think our players did. We know of ’52. We ———— know of ’88. We know of ’08. We know of ’22 and No. 6 ’Nova, No. 9 Michigan State upended ’23, but to see that firsthand (was great).”

player was drafted, and only Johnson participated in the Combine.

Kansas is the only school of the Big 5 BCS football conferences (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC) not to have a player invited to this year’s Combine. And while that might sting in some ways, for a guy like Sims, who never cared

much for individual accolades or personal glory, it seems fitting.

As his final season at KU wound down, Sims opened up a little about his goal of playing professional football, something he said he never believed was possible just four years ago.

“I’ve thought about it a lot,” he said. “The NFL … it’s everyone’s dream to go there, and only a select few get chosen to go there. I’m a step closer to getting there. ... I’m just hoping for the best.”

THE WEST’S DWIGHT HOWARD, OF THE HOUSTON ROCKETS, LOWER LEFT, and the East’s John Wall, of the Washington Wizards, vie for a rebound in the East’s 163155 victory in the All-Star game Sunday in New Orleans.

Irving leads East to All-Star victory New Orleans (ap) — The Eastern Conference finally stopped Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin — then stopped its losing streak at the NBA AllStar game.

Kyrie Irving had 31 points and 14 assists and was voted the game’s MVP, Carmelo Anthony made an All-Star record eight three-pointers and scored 30 points, and the East rallied for a 163-155 victory over the West on Sunday night.

“It’s a great honor,” Irving said. “We had a few MVPs. Everyone out here today is an MVP.” Durant and Griffin each finished with 38 points, four shy of Wilt Chamberlain’s All-Star game record. But the East scored the final 10 points to pull out a game it trailed by 18.

Irving scored 15 points in the fourth quarter as the East ended a threegame losing streak. LeBron James had 22 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

“The superstars of our league were just telling us to compete on every play,” Irving said. “Trying to play as much defense as possible. You know, sticking to our game plan.

We had a game plan going in and we executed.”

Griffin shot 19-of-23, while Durant finished with 10 rebounds and six assists.

But the West was shut out after Durant’s threepointer gave it a 155-153 lead with 1:59 left. Indiana’s Paul George made three free throws, Anthony nailed his final three-pointer, and James scored to make it 161-155.

George closed it out with two more free throws and finished with 18 points.

The game that usually doesn’t get tight until the final minutes was close throughout the fourth quarter, neither team

Chris Paul had 11 points and 13 assists, and firsttime All-Star Stephen Curry had 12 points and 11 assists for the West. But the best point guard on the floor was Irving, who shot 14-of-17 and helped the East ring up 87 points in the second half after it surrendered a record 89 in the first.

In a colorful tribute to New Orleans, players wore sneakers and socks that ranged from green and blue to orange and purple, making the game look like a Mardi Gras parade.

Dear Annie: The past four years of my marriage have been difficult. My husband and I have made many poor financial decisions, and we also have intimacy issues.

I’m an artist. When our kids were young, I chose to do freelance work so I could stay at home. My husband has a steady job with a 9 to 5 workday. On the side, he is a talented musician and gets low-paying gigs a few times a year.

Over time, my husband’s band equipment has become worn, and he has hinted that he’d like to upgrade. While I would like him to be happy, we are not in a financial position to invest in a hobby that offers little return. On the other hand, I am extremely well paid for my artistic craftsmanship and would like to

invest in some technical equipment to further my career. If I am paid more, we could then finance my husband’s future musical purchases.

Unfortunately, my husband’s response to not getting what he wants has been immature. He attacks my choices, and I resent the lack of respect for the sacrifices I’ve made to raise our kids. The kids are older now, but it seems that I’m not

Host Fallon plays it safe on ‘Tonight’ Is baton-passing a winter sport? NBC hands off “The Tonight Show” franchise (10:35 p.m., NBC) to Jimmy Fallon tonight.

Fallon also moves “The Tonight Show” back to New York City, where it began in 1954 and where it was broadcast until Johnny Carson moved it to Burbank in 1972.

If tonight’s first guests are any indication, Fallon is playing it safe to keep Leno’s audience: Will Smith and U2 could have appeared on Leno’s show in 1992.

It’s no secret that Leno appealed to a broader and bigger audience with a safer, friendlier, less edgy approach. We now have Fallon and David Letterman projecting a New York vibe. Add to them Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. And you have Conan O’Brien, whose move to the West Coast has not diluted his Harvard Lampoon/”Simpsons” post-modern approach. And “Saturday Night Live” vet Seth Meyers joins the scrum next Monday when he takes over “Late Night.”

All of this adds up favorably for Jimmy Kimmel. Raised in Las Vegas, he appears at ease in Hollywood, and moreover, seems comfortable in his own skin.

With so much of his competition aiming their jokes east of the Hudson River, I predict that Kimmel will inherit Jay Leno’s audience.

Tonight’s other highlights

A couple of talking ducks deliver bakery goods in the new cartoon series “Breadwinners” (6:30 p.m., Nickelodeon), debuting as a Saturday morning cartoon on Feb. 22.

Olympics coverage (7 p.m., NBC) includes: figure skating, snowboarding, freestyle skiing and ski jumping.

A “smart home” gets nasty on “Almost Human” (7 p.m., Fox).

Joe adjusts on “The Following” (8 p.m., Fox).

“Worst Cooks in America” (8 p.m., Food) try not to ruin pizza.

Tiny robots strike on “Intelligence” (9 p.m., CBS).

A suspect with special powers emerges on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

married to an equal partner, but rather a perpetual teenager.

I love my husband, but I feel stuck in a relationship that is unhealthy in more ways than one.

Your thoughts? — Got the Blues Dear Blues: It is not unusual for couples in their 40s and 50s to reassess their lives, wondering where their youthful dreams went.

Like you, your husband may feel stuck, believing he could have had a career as a musician instead of the one that helps provide for his family. Please don’t turn this into a standoff.

Have a gentle, loving conversation. Ask for his input. But if money issues are an ongoing problem, it might help to enlist a third party with better financial acumen to referee.

Dear Annie: Why

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

do women announcers who appear on the TV news and weather programs dress so trashy?

They wear miniskirts up to their rears, bare arms and shoulders, and low necklines showing everything.

Why don’t their bosses stop all of this vulgar dress? — Not a Prude Dear Not: What makes you think the women are selecting this clothing? More likely, their bosses, the producers of the shows, encourage the women to dress this way because “sex sells.” If your local news has the men in suits and the women in low-cut blouses and miniskirts, it is sexist, and you should write the station and say so.
