Brownback hints at need for more KBA scrutiny Tom Thornton resigned as the Kansas Bioscience Authority’s chief executive officer in April.

tion has withheld payment of $22 million to the agency.

But defenders of the KBA said more oversight of the economic development agency wasn’t needed.

The long-awaited audit of the KBA that was released on

Monday found instances of document destruction, misuse of funds and questionable management practices by Tom Thornton, who resigned as the authority’s chief executive officer in April.

Brownback said the audit’s

findings were “deeply troubling” and he noted that the KBA doesn’t go through the same scrutiny of the budgeting process as other state agencies.

The money Brownback’s administration withheld is

part of KBA’s annual appropriation of $35 million approved by legislators in the 2011 session.

The state revenue is typically paid to the authority in the fall of each calendar year.

ASHELY URBAN PUTS TOGETHER CARE PACKAGES for soldiers Thursday at her home in Lawrence. Urban, whose husband, Capt. Joshua Urban, is in the Kansas National Guard and often away on deployment, is trying to start a support group for military families in Lawrence. At right is Urban’s 20-month-old son, Kole.

Lawrence resident Ashley Urban says she has felt lost in the past when her husband, Capt. Josh Urban, was deployed with the Kansas National Guard.

In her hometown, Pittsburg, where many people knew her and her family, they would offer to help.

But living in a larger city and not on a military installation makes it tougher.

Fewer people know what she’s trying to handle daily.

“If I’m feeling that way, I’m sure there are a lot of other military families feeling the same way,” she said.

Urban, who moved to Lawrence four years ago, is now seeking to make it easier for military families

to find others in similar situations.

She started the Lawrence Military Family Support Group on Facebook to help set up a network for military spouses. Being able to pass along information and advice on how to get through tough times will be the main benefit.

“It’s nice to get kids all around other kids in the same situation as well,” said Urban, who has two boys, ages 3 and 1.

Stephanie Brown and her husband, Master Sgt. Chad Brown, who works with the Army ROTC at Kansas University, moved to Lawrence late last year after spending nine years at Fort Stewart in Georgia, where they had access to a large family support group.

“There isn’t a military presence as much. Finding families that are in the same area as you and

going through the same things would be definitely beneficial,” said Stephanie Brown, who is also studying pre-nursing at KU. The Brown family also has two boys ages, 11 and 7.

Urban was a major help to the Browns as they sought to get settled in Lawrence because she would give them tips about where to go for certain things in Lawrence.

“It definitely has made it feel easier that if I run into something, I have someone to ask,” Brown said.

Now they’re hoping the network can branch out to help other military families.

Urban hopes the support group can link military families with volunteers who could provide odd jobs when a spouse is deployed, such as yard work. It’s difficult for one parent to handle everything, she said.

“It’s just the simple things that you don’t have somebody there to help you with,” Urban said.

She also hopes the group could put together care packages to send to military members overseas.

Oftentimes, spouses just need someone to talk to who has been through a similar experience, though.

“It’s just a difficult time to get through,” Urban said. “It would just be helpful to get to know other families, not just for the spouse’s sake but for the kids’ sake as well.”

CITY COMMISSION

City agrees to rename street for Fambrough

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

If ever there is to be a museum devoted to exploring all things vile about Missouri, Lawrence soon will have the perfect intersection for it.

Lawrence city commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting unanimously agreed to rename the portion of 11th Street near Kansas University’s Memorial Stadium to Fambrough Drive, in honor of the former KU football coach who gained notoriety on both sides of the state

line for his fiery speeches denouncing KU’s chief rival.

T h e section of 11th Street Fambrough between Mississippi and Missouri streets will be renamed Fambrough Drive in the spring. The change actually will create not only an intersection of Fambrough and Missouri but also an intersection of Fambrough Drive and Fambrough Way. KU officials already had planned on

naming the private street just west of the stadium to Fambrough Way, in memory of the coach who died in September.

Both streets are tentatively scheduled to be unveiled as part of a ceremony at KU’s spring football game in April.

Fambrough was best known for his frequent tales regarding Missouri, the raider William Quantrill and the fierce rivalry between Jayhawks and Tigers that Fambrough experienced first as a player at KU in the 1940s and then during two stints as head coach in the 1970s and 1980s.

But city commissioners were told Tuesday — about two dozen people showed up for the item — that Fambrough’s largest impact on the community likely was the unwavering love that he showed for the city and the university.

“Don probably had as much positive influence on my life as anyone,” said Joe Flannery, a longtime friend of Fambrough’s and the president of Weaver’s Department Store. “No matter what happened in his career at KU, his love for the university and Lawrence never Please see FAMBROUGH, page 2A

Jobs, taxes top issues in address THE HIGHLIGHTS:

Education Pushed measures for college affordability, including taking federal aid from colleges that don’t keep net tuition down and provide good value. And he challenged state governments to require students to stay in school until they graduate or turn 18, as 20 states already do.

Taxes

Said the wealthy should pay their fair share in taxes, arguing that anyone who makes more than $1 million should pay a minimum tax rate of at least 30 percent.

Workforce He suggested creating a Veterans Job Corps to help communities hire veterans, and he committed to closing the wage gap between men and women.

Infrastructure Proposed using half the savings achieved by winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to cover costs of new investments in infrastructure. Obama wants the money to go toward fixing existing roads and building new high-speed rail projects.

Energy Directed his administration to develop a plan for safe extraction of natural gas from shale deposits, which the White House says will support more than 600,000 jobs. Obama said he would offer incentives to manufacturers to boost the energy efficiency of the industrial sector by upgrading equipment and eliminating wasted energy in their facilities.

KBA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

But it has been on hold while auditors conducted a forensic investigation of the KBA and its management.

The nearly $1 million audit

by BKD Forensic and Valuation Services resulted in the return of about $4,700 in KBA funds that Thornton received for an airline ticket, purchase of an oil painting and overpayment of a car allowance.

Last year, Brownback’s administration pushed the KBA to get audited, saying there were many questions about how money was being spent and the relationships between the authority’s leaders and companies that received funding.

But on Tuesday, auditors told state legislators that they were confident the KBA was making sound investments and that issues raised by the audit were being addressed.

The auditors said they found no evidence of conflicts of interest in investments made by the KBA. Senate Vice President John Vratil, R-Leawood, said he didn’t see a need for more legislation to regulate the KBA and would prefer legislators and the authority’s critics accept the audit and move on.

Balanced approach sought The KBA was created in 2004 and tasked with using $581 million in tax funds over 10 years to expand bioscience research and business in Kansas.

Last year, Sen. Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, and chairwoman of the Senate Commerce Committee, held several meetings in which she criticized the KBA over salaries, expenses and investments.

But James A. Snyder, managing partner of BKD LLP, said the audit raised no major issues with the authority’s investment programs or conflict of interest policies.

“Generally, we find things to be pretty good with a couple of exceptions that are noted in the report,” he said.

Erased documents According to the audit report, Thornton used computer cleanup and drive wiping tools to clear his computer hard drive on April 21 and April 22, 2011, after his April 13 resignation, and before returning the computer to the KBA on April 26.

He told auditors he cleared the computer because he had used the KBA-owned computer for personal use and it contained “personal financial and tax information, family photos and other information of a personal nature, some of which would be embarrassing if made public,” according to the report.

The audit also identified issues with compliance with the authority’s contract policy, finding 301 payments without a contract, including 102 payments that violated the KBA’s policy. Those payments totaled more than $570,000.

The audit also indicated former board member Angela Kreps may have been in “technical violation” of the KBA’s conflict of interest policy by voting on funding for KansasBio, a bioscience trade organization of which Kreps served as president.

The audit also found Thornton failed to inform KBA board members of a relationship with a KBA staff

A Douglas County judge ordered a 39-year-old Mexican national to serve nine years in prison for his conviction on two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Javier Luna Lopez had pleaded guilty in November to molesting a 10-year-old Lawrence girl in May. “I want them to know that I’m very sorry for that very stupid thing I did,” Lopez said in court Tuesday morning through interpreter Oscar Marino.

Lopez has lived in Wichita and said he came to the United

States to work. He had no prior criminal history.

Prosecutors and police have COURTS said the girl’s mother alleged that Lopez, her boyfriend at the time, had molested her daughter.

The girl’s mother told District Judge Kay Huff her daughter has had extreme trust issues since the incident, especially with males.

“She’s just not the same

with our family any more.

She’s not the same with anybody,” the woman said. “And I can only imagine what life is going to be like in the next 10 years.”

Defense attorney Sarah Swain said federal officials would deport Lopez to Mexico after he serves his prison sentence.

“I know that he is extremely remorseful for his actions in this case,” Swain said.

Huff followed a plea agreement and ordered Lopez to serve consecutive 55-month sentences, one for each count.

Questions over CIBOR Wagle also alleged that the Wichita-based Center of Innovation in Biomedical and Orthopedic Research had been promised $20 million from the board but never received the full amount.

A separate auditing firm, Meara Welch Brown, also hired by the KBA, investigated that claim. The firm could not identify documents, records or correspondence where a commitment of $20 million had been made.

The Johnson County District Attorney’s Office has confirmed it was conducting a criminal investigation into the authority but has not disclosed details of the investigation.

Brownback has asked for a moratorium on KBA spending and investment commitments until legislators decide if any changes are needed to the KBA. But KBA Board Chairman Dan Watkins of Lawrence disagreed.

He said the audit showed the KBA’s investment process was sound, and there were no significant findings of conflicts of interest.

“You can’t grow with moratoriums. We’ll operate within the authority of the Legislature as created unless the Legislature tells us differently,” he said.

He also said the audit report should clear the air regarding questions and allegations raised in the past year.

Wagle said the Legislature would spend a lot of time combing through the audit.

Medical marijuana supporters make case

BRIEFLY Researcher’s discovery may help cancer patients A Kansas University researcher has made a discovery that should lead to improved treatments for prostate and breast cancer.

Emily Scott, an associate professor of medicinal chemistry at KU, has provided the first experimental evidence regarding the shape of an enzyme that makes hormones that promote the growth of prostate and breast cancer.

By defining the shape of this enzyme, Scott’s research will enable the design of more effective drugs to stop undesirable hormone production in cancer patients.

“To inhibit an enzyme, a drug needs to bind to it,” Scott said.

“But without knowing the shape of an enzyme, designing a drug to bind to it is like designing a key without knowing the shape of the lock. By revealing the shape of CYP17A1, our research will enable the design of better ‘keys,’ or in this case, better drugs.”

Scott’s findings appear this week in the online edition of Nature, an interdisciplinary science journal. The print edition will be available Feb. 2.

Man pleads no contest to stealing from senior An Ottawa man has reached a plea agreement with the Kansas Attorney General’s Office amid allegations he stole more than $90,000 from a 95-year-old woman while he was designated her power of attorney from 2006 to 2007.

Guadalupe Mora pleaded no contest Monday in Franklin County District Court to one count of mistreatment of a dependent adult and one count of theft.

Jeff Wagaman, a spokesman for the Kansas Attorney General’s Office, said Tuesday both parties filed a written plea agreement that includes an order of restitution for $90,431 that will be entered at Mora’s Feb. 27 sentencing.

Prosecutors last April accused Mora of using undue influence and false representation to pay himself and others after he was given power of attorney by Edna Brouhard, who was 95 when charges were filed. By then, Brouhard had a new conservator and guardian.

TOPEKA — About 25 people rallied Tuesday in support of a bill that would legalize marijuana for medical reasons.

Jason Selmon, chairman of the Kannabis Project, said he hoped the Legislature would vote on House Bill 2330, the Cannabis Compassion and Care Act. “That’s what Kansans deserve. Popular opinion is overwhelmingly in support for medical marijuana,” Selmon said.

The measure would legalize marijuana use for people with debilitating conditions, such as cancer.

Area sees gradual improvement on employment front

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

The Lawrence area, as well as Kansas in general, saw unemployment rates fall again in December, according to recently released figures from the Kansas Department of Labor.

Here’s a look at the data:

The Lawrence unemployment rate fell to 5 percent, down from 5.3 percent in November and 5.6 percent a year ago.

About 240 fewer people in Lawrence were unemployed in December compared with last year.

Lawrence unemployment

numbers have fluctuated but had trended downward since July 2010, when the unemployment rate was 6.9 percent.

In December 2006, however, the unemployment rate was 3.4 percent.

The Kansas unemployment rate dropped from 6.8 percent in December 2010 to 6.3 percent this past December.

The ticks down in the unemployment rate are reflected on the ground, said Scott Anglemeyer, executive director of the Workforce Partnership, the Kansas Works agency for Leavenworth, Johnson and Wyandotte counties, which have all seen similar improvements

in the employment outlook.

It’s certainly a welcome, if gradual, trend.

“We’re not going to see a radical change overnight,” he said.

Anglemeyer said his agency hadn’t seen a big jump in hiring in one particular industry recently, though the long-term trend of opportunities in the health care sector continues.

And possibly skewing the numbers are people who have had to accept lower-paying jobs that they’re over-qualified for, Anglemeyer said.

“You do see a lot of settling,” he said.

The best advice Anglemeyer can give people who are back in the em-

ployment hunt is to prepare for new roles and “take on new skills you never thought you’d ever need.”

General trends in the state, according to the Department of Labor, include increased construction activity, thanks to warm weather. In addition, there was an increase in federal government hiring, which offset declines in the retail sector during the holiday season.

As a whole, Kansas added 12,400 nonfarm jobs in the 12 months ending in December, including 12,000 in the private sector.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Brownback’s office says no change coming to policy affecting food stamps But later in an email from the governor’s office, Brownback’s spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag said, “The Governor has requested an update on the SNAP but does not plan to make any additional changes. Any member of the Legislature who wants to offer an amendment to the budget regarding this issue certainly may.”

The cuts are the result of SRS changing the way it counts households and household income when determining who is eligible for SNAP. Earlier this week, the Kansas City Star reported that families affected by the change are those that contain a mixture of legal citizens and illegal immigrants. While illegal immigrants are not eligible for the food assistance, U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants can be.

The issue is that the SNAP formula now includes the en-

tire income of all members of a household but calculates food stamp eligibility as if the citizen children are the only people in the household. Previously, SRS counted only a portion if one or more members did not provide proof of legal U.S. residency.

Since the change took effect Oct. 1, food pantries, churches and social service agencies have been inundated with questions and requests for food.

Jones-Sontag said, “The policy decision to include all incomes of adult members of a household has nothing to do with cutting aid off of children of individuals who decline to provide proof of legal presence in the United States. It is about properly calculating household income and treating all citizens equally.”

2nd SRS official resigns in as many months

Lecompton incumbents running unopposed

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s office on Tuesday said he doesn’t plan to change a new state policy that has eliminated or reduced food stamp benefits for hundreds of low-in- Brownback come, U.S.born children whose parents are illegal immigrants.

In response to a question from the Lawrence JournalWorld, Brownback said he wanted to speak with field staff with the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services to determine the impact of the new policy affecting food stamps, known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A spokeswoman for the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services confirmed Tuesday that Pedro Moreno, deputy secretary for disability and behavioral health services, resigned Monday.

Angela de Rocha, SRS spokeswoman, said department officials had no other comment on Moreno’s resignation.

Moreno’s duties included oversight of state mental health facilities, such as Larned State Hospital.

Moreno, who made an annual salary of $97,500, also oversaw addiction and prevention services, as well as the Kansas Neurological Institute.

Moreno is the third state official from Florida brought in by Gov. Sam Brownback to resign in recent months.

In November, Brownback’s chief information technology officer resigned after controversy about a degree listed on his resume that was obtained from a school cited in reports as a diploma mill.

In December, SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki re-

signed following a controversial year that included plans to close several state SRS offices, including the one in Lawrence, and plans to move some juvenile justice functions over to SRS. Moreno was hired last February by Siedlecki.

Moreno originally worked as special assistant to Ray Dalton, who was deputy secretary for disability and behavioral health services until May. When Dalton resigned, Moreno stepped into the role.

Before coming to Kansas, Moreno had worked in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and more recently in a supervisory role with Florida’s Agency for Persons with Disabilities.

De Rocha said that Gary Haulmark, former member of the Kansas Legislature and legislative director at SRS, has stepped in Moreno’s role.

Haulmark was a Johnson County Republican elected to the Kansas House of Representatives in 1993, but he resigned in 1995.

Q:

Why do some traffic lights have longer yellows than others?

A:

Megan Gilliland, the city’s communications manager, provided this answer: The length of time for a “yellow” and the associated “all-red” signal indications at a traffic signal are determined using a nationally accepted formula that takes into consideration the posted speed limit and the width of the intersection being crossing. The “yellow” time usually varies between three and five seconds.

Lawmakers consider bill targeting funeral protests

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansas lawmakers are considering legislation aimed at keeping the Phelps family and Westboro Baptist Church from protesting at military funerals.

House Bill 2406 would prohibit “the injury, intimidation, interference or harassment of any member of the military or an immediate family member.” The bill would allow victims to take civil action, awarding them up to $500 per viola-

tion. Members of the House Judiciary Committee made it obvious the bill targeted the Phelpses.

“This bill is to do something about Fred Phelps,” said Rep. Mario Goico, RWichita, who spoke on behalf of the bill during a committee hearing.

Fred Phelps is the head of the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church. The Phelps family and church members routinely protest homosexuality and picket military funerals. Last March, the Supreme Court ruled

the church had the right to protest homosexuality at military funerals under First Amendment protection.

But Rep. Lance Kinzer, ROlathe, chairman of the committee, said the Phelpses’ speech is very broadly protected and it would be difficult to create a legislative solution to limit it.

Kinzer said the bill needed to be clarified in order for it to be enforceable.

“We all get sick of paying the Phelpses’ legal fees,” Kinzer said.

“We’re three strong,” she said.

The company will seek to provide continuing education for health care professionals using online and mobile resources.

Rob Bykowski, the company’s president and chief operating officer, said he will help with sales and marketing. He said the company planned to market the courses, or a package of courses, both to individuals and institutions.

Today, online continuing education for health care workers usually means a PowerPoint presentation with a voiceover.

“That’s pretty much what the end users said they hated,” she said.

Her company’s course offerings feature more simulations and interactive case studies on a range of issues cancer survivors face, including weight gain, heart health and fatigue.

Klemp said her ultimate goal is to help the well-being of cancer survivors in the country, projected to be 18 million by 2020.

STATE OF THE UNION

Obama challenges: Shrink gap between rich, poor

By Ben Feller Associated Press

ONLINE: See the full text of Obama’s State of the Union speech at LJWorld.com

WASHINGTON — Declaring the American dream under siege, President Barack Obama delivered a populist challenge Tuesday night to shrink the gap between rich and poor, promising to tax Obama the wealthy more and help jobless Americans get work and hang onto their homes. Seeking re-election and needing results, the president invited Republicans to join him but warned, “I intend to fight.”

In an emphatic State of the Union address, Obama said ensuring a fair shot for all Americans is “the defining issue of our time.” He said the economy is finally recovering from a deep and painful recession and he will fight any effort to return to policies that brought it low.

“We’ve come too far to turn back now,” he declared.

Obama outlined a vastly different vision for fixing the country than the one pressed by the Republicans confronting him in Congress and fighting to take his job in the November election. He pleaded for an active government that ensures economic fairness for everyone, just as

In GOP response, president blamed for economy WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has resorted to “extremism” with stifling, anti-growth policies and sought to divide Americans, not unite them, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels said Tuesday in the formal Republican response to the president’s State of the Union address.

Eight months after deciding against a bid for his party’s presidential nomination, Daniels used his nationally televised speech to lash out at Obama and cast the his opponents demand that the government back off and let the free market rule.

Obama offered steps to help students afford college, a plan for more struggling homeowners to refinance their homes and tax cuts for manufacturers. He threw in politically appealing references to accountability, including warning universities they will lose federal aid if they don’t stop tuition from soaring.

Standing in front of a divided Congress, with bleak hope this election year for much of his legislative agenda, Obama spoke with voters in mind.

“We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by,” Obama said. “Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share,

GOP as compassionate and eager to unchain the country’s economic potential.

He took particular aim at Obama’s efforts to raise taxes on the rich and castigate them for not contributing their fair share to the nation’s burdens.

He and other Republicans were hoping to both blunt and shift the focus away from Obama’s theme on Tuesday of fairness, which included protecting the middle class and making sure the rich pay an equitable share of taxes. and everyone plays by the same set of rules.”

A rare wave of unity splashed over the House chamber at the start. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, survivor of an assassination attempt one year ago, received sustained applause from her peers and cheers of “Gabby, Gabby, Gabby.” She blew a kiss to the podium. Obama embraced her.

At the core of Obama’s address was the improving but deeply wounded economy, the matter still driving Americans’ anxiety and the one likely to determine the next presidency.

“The state of our union is getting stronger,” Obama said, calibrating his words as millions remain unemployed.

Implicit in his declaration that the American dream is “within our reach” was the recognition that, after three years of an Obama presidency, the country is not there yet.

Kan. lawmakers critical of address

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Kansas Republicans on Tuesday said President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address was more about politics than policy.

“I’m ready to work with the president and the Democratic Roberts leadership in the Senate, but there has to be a blueprint,” said U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. “There has to be a plan forward. There has to be leadership and results.

Tonight we heard a campaign speech.”

Roberts said he wished Obama had laid out details on reducing regulations, reforming taxes for all Americans, promoting businesses, such as aviation companies, and reducing entitlement spending.

U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, said that she was willing to work with Jenkins Obama on bipartisan solutions but that his rhetoric was divisive.

“Rather than urging Americans to come together to tackle the challenges we face as a nation, the president seems content to stoke parti-

san disagreement and further divide the American people,” said Jenkins, whose 2nd District includes west Lawrence.

“This may be effective rhetoric along the campaign trail, but even in a campaign year I expect more out of a sitting president addressing Congress for a State of the Union,” she said.

Obama urged Republicans and Democrats to work together, but given the partisan battling, the political divide is expected by many to widen during this election year.

U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Fowler, blasted Obama, saying the president “is running from his record, but there is nowhere to hide.”

Nation’s oldest federal judge dies at age 104 WICHITA — As the nation’s oldest sitting federal judge in history, U.S. District Judge Wesley Brown allowed himself few concessions to his advancing age as he insisted on presiding over significant Brown and often complex cases right up until his death at 104.

Brown died Monday night at the Wichita assisted living center where he lived, his law clerk, Nanette Turner Kalcik, said Tuesday.

During his tenure, the senior judge in Wichita repeatedly tried to explain why he had not yet fully retired from the federal bench.

“As a federal judge, I was appointed for life or good behavior, whichever I lose first,” Brown quipped in a 2011 interview.

How did he plan to leave the post? “Feet first,” Brown said.

Last year, he presided over federal cases involving former KU athletics department employees who had been charged in a cash-for-tickets scheme.

Consider the first paragraph of Joe Paterno’s Associated Press news obituary: “Joe Paterno, the longtime Penn State coach who won more games than anyone in major college football but was fired amid a child sex abuse scandal that scarred his reputation for winning with integrity, died Sunday. He was 85.”

Victory. Integrity. Scandal.

Take away that one episode and even those outside the commonwealth of Pennsylvania would seek to anoint Paterno for sainthood.

Still, that final legacy could have positive results as years go on, as more people choose to inform police about the potential of sexual abuse against a child. In many cases, including Kansas, reporting is the law — and that’s what Paterno should have done in the case of his former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

There was perhaps no better college football coach than Joe Paterno. His Nittany Lions won 409 games, played in 37 bowl games and won two national championships. More than 250 of his players went on to the National Football League.

Paterno’s death from lung cancer was sudden following his firing last November. Yet many who were close to him confided that he would likely not live long after he left the job.

That’s how important the role was to him after 61 years at the school and 46 seasons as head coach.

His credo was “Success with Honor.”

He often spoke about ethics in sports and made academics a priority for this players.

Through 2011, Paterno had 47 academic AllAmericans, the third-highest among schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Yet there remains a stain.

After being informed by an assistant of Sandusky’s alleged attack against a boy in the Penn State locker room, Paterno waited a day before alerting school leaders. He did what he was supposed to do, but he did not report the incident to police. Apparently those to whom he reported the matter did not follow up in the proper manner. Police were never called.

Paterno gave just one interview — to the Washington Post — after leaving Penn State.

“I just did what I thought was best,” Paterno told the Post. “I talked to people that I thought would be, if there was a problem, that would be following up on it. …

“It is one of the great sorrows of my life.

With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.”

Now, it’s easy for others to say he should have done more. But the national light focused on this tragedy may prompt more victims and witnesses of child sexual abuse to come forward.

This, too, could be Joe Paterno’s legacy.

As a footnote, in light of what he did for Penn State over a period of 61 years, school officials certainly should have exhibited more class in how they informed the coach that he was fired instead of simply making a brief, cold phone call.

Romney must meet Gingrich challenge WASHINGTON — An Illinois lawyer who had a way with words once characterized a particular argument as weaker than soup made from the shadow of a pigeon that died of starvation.

The argument for Mitt Romney benefiting from South Carolina’s voting is almost as weak as Lincoln’s soup, but here it is: In the physics of politics, actions generate reactions. Granted, Newt Gingrich carried 43 of the state’s 46 counties, and at least six of the seven congressional districts, now leads in delegates, and his colorful personal life did not prevent him from decisively beating Romney among the women

Life has been good to Romney, who now must quickly demonstrate authenticity, even if he needs to synthesize it.”

of a culturally conservative state.

But Sunday morning, from coast to coast, Republican candidates for Congress, governorships and other offices awakened to a sobering thought: They could be running next autumn with Gingrich — whose current approval rating nationally in a Jan. 12-14 Fox News and Opinion Dynamics poll was 27 percent favorable, 56 percent unfavorable — atop the ticket. They have nothing to fear so much as an absence of fear about this. With Gingrich defining the GOP brand, the Republicans’ dream — unified government: a trifecta of holding the House, winning the Senate and the White House — might become three strikes and they are out.

Just 11 days after finishing fourth in New Hampshire, Gingrich’s pugnacity in two debates enraptured South Carolinians, especially when he waxed indignant about the supposition that the risk-taking in his personal life — e.g., having an affair during an

indignation festival against Bill Clinton — is pertinent to his fitness for the presidency.

Gingrich encourages Republican voters to believe he should be nominated because he would do best in the (at most) three debates with Barack Obama. So, because Gingrich might sparkle during four and a half hours of debates, he should be given four years of control of nuclear weapons? Odd. When the Republican nomination contest commenced, two assumptions were that Romney’s strength would be his private-sector resume, and that his principal problems would be his religion and his authorship of Massachusetts’ health care mandate. The mandate, however, has receded as an issue since Romney noted that Gingrich was for a mandate before he was against it. And many “values voters” who consider Mormonism somehow suspect seem to regard it as not very important, no more important than Gingrich’s serial monogamy, and less important than Romney’s largest problem, which is, remarkably, his resume.

The first presidential candidate from the economy’s now deeply unpopular financial sec-

tor, Romney is suffering because this sector’s arcane practices and instruments seem to many people, as indecipherable things often do, sinister. His tax returns perhaps testify to no more than sophisticated exploitation of the baroque tax code’s opportunities for — even encouragement of — tactics to minimize liabilities.

This, however, may exacerbate the impression many Republicans seem to have of his slipperiness.

And this attribute is related to the suspicion that there is something synthetic about him. This may be unfair, but so is life.

Life has been good to Romney, who now must quickly demonstrate authenticity, even if he needs to synthesize it. Actually, he does not need to. He speaks well, which is to say with infectious passion, about the dangers of the other party’s dependency agenda and the entitlement mentality it cultivates. But if Romney says even one more time “I believe in America” — a bromide worthy of Tom (“Your future is still ahead of you”) Dewey — voters may decide he is a human Oakland, that (as Gertrude Stein said of the city) there is no there there.

Some Romney aides have complacently expected enthusi-

asm for him to be a consequence rather than a cause of his victories. But there is too much space between his victories: The last ones before New Hampshire this month were 47 months ago, in some Feb. 5, 2008, primaries and caucuses.

Actually, losing in South Carolina could be a partial blessing if it banishes from his campaign and from Republican voters’ minds the dispiriting, eat-your-spinach idea that electability is the best reason for nominating him.

Gingrich thinks South Carolina has catapulted him toward irresistible victory. There remain, however, 53 more delegate-selection processes — in 47 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and some possessions. Busy as an intellectual beaver having big ideas by the bushel, Gingrich has neglected some mundane matters, such as getting on the Virginia and Missouri ballots.

Should Prometheus have to sweat such tiresome details?

Yes, because the nominating process in this complex continental nation usefully foreshadows the challenges of governing such a nation.

Super PACs influencing races Over the past few weeks the results, many of them unintended, perhaps, of the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission have become apparent. In Citizens United the Supreme Court held unconstitutional those portions of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law that restricted what the law called “electioneering expenditures” by corporations and labor unions, i.e. expenditures on political messages in the media. Interestingly, the court did not overturn the McCain-Feingold restrictions on direct contributions to candidates or to their parties.

The effect of this decision has been the rise of what are now called “super PACs,” political action committees established by private individuals and corporations to which corporations and unions may make unlimited gifts.

As a result, we now have numerous super PACs controlled by wealthy corporations and unions with virtually unlimited funds to spend on campaigns while candidates and traditional party institutions like the Democratic and Republican National Committees have far less money to spend.

The presence and power of the super PACs have been manifest in the Iowa caucuses and in the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries. Millions of dollars have been poured into media campaigns, many of them negative.

Virtually all of the candidates have suffered from these negative media blitzes and all have complained of the power of the super PACs. Whether these have been honest complaints by the candidates is hard to judge. There is no doubt that some candidates exercise some degree of control over the super PACs. Regardless of who is actually in control, the power of the super PACs has been significant.

For instance, I think that it is likely that one effect of the su-

“

Mike Hoeflich

With unlimited money to spend, super PACs may very well buy control of Kansas politics. Perhaps they already have.” per PACs’ power was reflected in Newt Gingrich’s shift from disavowing negative campaigning to accepting the necessity of such negative media campaigns because of the massive negative advertising that he faced, negative advertising paid for by several super PACs. Indeed, one may argue that it was an infusion of cash into a super PAC supporting Gingrich that gave his campaign the boost necessary to win the South Carolina primary.

Certainly, the rise of super PACs has significantly changed the nature of political campaigns and made them far more expensive. It has also created a new dynamic in political campaigns.

Traditional party organizations generally do not run media campaigns against their own party members in primaries. Many candidates are also hesitant to run negative campaigns directly for fear of alienating voters. But super PACs, because they are not officially part of any party or technically controlled by candidates, can run as many negative advertisements as they wish.

Party organizations and candidates then have “deniability” and can say that they do not support negative campaigning while still benefiting from it. Therefore, a candidate like Gingrich is forced to be part of a negative campaign

in order to be competitive.

One might ask whether the super PACs will play a significant role in Kansas politics in 2012. The fact is that they already are significant in our state and will continue to be so.

It was only a short while ago that seven moderate Republican members of the Kansas Legislature, including Steve Morris and John Vratil, were announced as targets to be defeated in the upcoming election by a super PAC. Can anyone doubt that super PACs will throw millions of dollars into Kansas campaigns to ensure that the candidates they support will be victorious?

With unlimited money to spend, super PACs may very well buy control of Kansas politics.

Perhaps they already have. What has happened recently in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina will, almost certainly, happen here in Kansas.

Whether or not one agrees with the Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United, no one can deny that it has significantly shifted political power in this country and in this state. Just as certainly, we can expect super PACs to attempt to dominate and control the 2012 elections in Kansas. The targeting of moderate Republicans in the primaries is surely not all that will happen.

Is there any way to lessen the influence of all the money the super PACs will inject into our political campaigns? The answer is yes. The key to defeating the power of the super PACs, in Kansas and throughout the U.S. is for the voting public to ignore the media advertising placed by the super PACs. If we don’t let those millions of dollars influence us, then the money will be wasted and the super PACs will have little or no influence. The alternative is unpleasant to contemplate.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Jan. 25, 1912: YEARS “In the near future AGO it is very probable IN 1912 that one of the school buildings in the city will be thrown open at night so that a social center club organized by the town and college girls may have a suitable place in which to meet. At a meeting of some of the girls most interested held last night at the city Y.M.C.A. building, it was decided that the most plausible plan would be to ask the city school board for the use of one of the buildings. ... The plan is to establish a social center at which the town and college girls may have a chance to meet one another and to become acquainted in the real sense of the word. The university girls feel that when they attend college their lives run in decidedly narrow grooves. All they know is their school life, their club, or sorority life. The college girls feel that they would like to meet the town girls, and the town girls know that they would like to have a footing of friendship with those who are attending the University of Kansas.”

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Struggles in Phog perplex Jayhawks

No place like home

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

To hear Texas A&M coach Gary Blair tell it, the Kansas University women’s basketball team has nothing to worry about.

“Give this team credit,” said Blair, following last Saturday’s 76-65 victory over KU at Allen Fieldhouse. “They’ll make the tournament. But they’re going to have a lot of games come down to the wire.”

The loss to No. 14 Texas A&M dropped the Jayhawks to 15-3 overall and 4-2 in Big 12 play and turned out to be one of the few conference games so far that did not go down to the wire. With the Jayhawks slated to take on No. 21 Texas Tech at 7 tonight in the fieldhouse, proving Blair right is on the minds of the Jayhawks.

“It’s a bounce-back league,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “We’ve got a great opportunity to get one, and it’ll be a great game.”

In winning three conference road games for the first time since 2001, the Jayhawks have jumped out to BACK TO a strong start THE GRIND Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo in conference play and have Who: Texas A CLUSTER OF KANSAS STUDENTS ADDS TO THE ROAR of the crowd during the second half on Jan. 16 at Allen Fieldhouse. been one of the Tech (14-4, surprise teams 2-4) vs. Kanof the early sas (15-3, 4-2) going.

Thousands bid farewell to Paterno STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) — They stood outside for hours on a winter afternoon, waiting to pay their respects to the late Joe Paterno.

The line snaked down a long block on the Penn State campus.

Inside a campus spiritual center, the coach’s body was in a closed, hardwood casket topped by a spray of white roses. About six feet away sat a stylized black-

and-white picture of the man who became lovingly known on campus as “JoePa,� smiling and peering out through his trademark thick-rimmed glasses.

Three days of public mourning began Tuesday for a Penn State community already racked by months of turmoil. The 85-yearold Paterno — a Hall of Fame coach and the face of the univer-

sity — died Sunday of lung cancer. He had been ousted just days before learning of his diagnosis in November, forced out of his job in the wake of child sex-abuse charges against a former assistant.

Thousands showed up, lining a main campus artery for a chance to make the walk, single file, past Paterno’s casket, which had an “honor guard� of two Penn State

players — one past and one present. Some mourners stopped for a moment of reflection, or to genuflect in the interfaith hall.

Others fought back tears and sniffles.

COMMENTARY

Judge Paterno by his entire body of work

Source: Tigers, Fielder reach nine-year deal DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers responded to a jarring injury with an audacious move.

Free-agent first baseman Prince Fielder and the Tigers agreed Tuesday to a nine-year, $214 million contract that fills the AL Central champions’ need for a power hitter, a person familiar with the deal said.

Detroit boldly stepped up in the Fielder sweepstakes after the recent knee injury to Victor Martinez. A week ago, the Tigers announced the productive designated hitter could miss the entire season after tearing his left ACL during offseason conditioning.

The person told The Associated Press the deal was subject to a physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract was not yet complete.

The Tigers won their Fielder division by 15 games before losing in the AL championship series to Texas. Adding the 27-year-old Fielder gives the Tigers two of the game’s premier sluggers, pairing him with Miguel Cabrera.

With Fielder now in the fold, general manager Dave Dombrowski and owner Mike Ilitch have a team that figures to enter the 2012 season as a favorite to repeat in the division — with an eye on winning the franchise’s first World Series title since 1984. “Everyone knew Mr. Ilitch and Mr. Dombrowski were going to make a move when Victor went down,� outfielder Brennan Boesch said in a phone interview with the AP. “But I don’t think anybody thought it would be this big.�

The move also keeps Fielder’s name in the Tigers’ family. His father, Cecil, became a big-league standout when he returned to the majors from Japan and hit 51 home runs with Detroit in 1990. Cecil played with the Tigers into the 1996 season.

They will bury Joe Paterno today, but the debate will rage for decades. Do you judge a man by his body of work — or by one colossal mistake?

You look at the whole picture, in the same way that Bill Clinton is about more than Monica Lewinsky and Ted Kennedy’s legacy is not reduced to Chappaquiddick.

Fellow coaches and sports writers agree, but there’s a segment that writes in 140-character bursts that sees it differently. To them I ask: When you’re 6 feet under, should you be eulogized by people whom you never met — or those who actually knew you?

I covered Paterno as a Big Ten football writer but am not swayed by a personal relationship. We didn’t have one.

Mostly I’ll remember crowding around Paterno’s table at Big Ten media days, extending my arm to hold my recorder within inches of his mouth. Otherwise you couldn’t understand him.

On weekly Big Ten conference calls this season, someone would ask why Paterno had not settled on a starting quarterback. Often he would reply: “I’m sorry.

I just can’t hear you.�

So the reporter would shout: “WHY HAVEN’T YOU NAMED MATT McGLOIN THE FULL-TIME STARTER?�

Paterno, with that great head of hair, never looked like he was in his 80s. But he acted like he was.

Paterno also once told Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema how great it was to have met his wife. Bielema’s not married. Turns out Paterno had confused him with Minnesota coach Tim Brewster.

Regardless of the aging effect, Paterno’s response to the Jerry Sandusky allegations was feeble.

But if we were to construct a pie chart of blame, Sandusky gets the biggest piece.

Then come former university officials Gary Schultz, Graham Spanier and Tim Curley. Those three were Penn State administrators, responsible for handling crises. They failed Sandusky’s alleged victims, they failed their school and they failed Paterno.

He was a football coach. “The greatest in the history of the game,� Ohio State’s Urban Meyer said during an interview with BTN. Paterno won more FBS games and bowl games than anyone. He never committed a major NCAA violation. He donated at least $4 million to Penn State. He was fiercely loyal to the school.

He didn’t use the NFL as leverage and didn’t have a “Les Miles clause� stipulating he would make $1,000 more than any coach in his conference if he won a national championship.

He coached because it was his life. By insisting his players go to class and graduate — decades before the NCAA instituted requirements — he helped hundreds of them. That’s a true benefit to society.

Paterno, meanwhile, was so ignorant of technology that he thought what teenagers did incessantly was called “tech� messaging.

But he was forward-thinking enough to push for Big Ten expansion and a conference title game while the Big Ten’s younger coaches initially resisted.

Some Paterno flaws were exposed long before his final few months. He created a culture of secrecy, cutting off media and fans, as if he were a monarch who didn’t have to answer to anyone.

Recruiting guru Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network told me he has visited 119 of 120 FBS schools. Penn State is the exception. Paterno used to think it appropriate to hide the list of players forming his incoming freshman class. Why? Who knows?

The shame in Paterno’s passing now at age 85 is two-fold. We’ll never get an adequate answer as to why he failed to follow up on the concerns that Sandusky was a molester. And perhaps Paterno would have dedicated his remaining days to helping victims of sexual abuse.

year contract, bolstering their depleted starting rotation. The team made the announcement Tuesday. The sides had an agreement last week pending a physical.

The 38-year-old Colon, a former A’s nemesis during his four-year stint with the AL West rival Angels from 2004-07, went 8-10 with a 4.00 earned-run average in 29 appearances and 26 starts last year for the New York Yankees in his 14th big league season.

He won the 2005 AL Cy Young Award.

La Russa to manage All-Stars ST. LOUIS — Tony La Russa will become the second retired manager to lead an All-Star team next summer, joining Hall of Famer John McGraw.

La Russa concluded a 16-season run in St. Louis with the team’s second World Series title in five years last October, stepping down after 33 seasons overall. Commissioner Bud Selig announced Tuesday that the 67-yearold La Russa will manage the National League in this year’s game July 10 in Kansas City.

Dodgers attract bidders NEW YORK — About 12 groups submitted initial bids to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers from Frank McCourt, several people familiar with the process said Tuesday.

Among the bidders were Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and former YES Network chief executive officer Leo Hindery, two people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the bids were to remain confidential.

Giants, Lincecum agree SAN FRANCISCO — Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants reached an oral agreement Tuesday on a two-year contract worth $40.5 million.

The deal includes a $500,000 signing bonus and salaries of $18 million this year and $22 million in 2013, a person familiar with the agreement said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the terms were not announced.

Reports: Raiders pick Allen ALAMEDA, CALIF. — The Oakland Raiders reportedly agreed Tuesday to hire Denver defensive coordinator Dennis Allen as their new head coach, breaking a more than threedecade stretch of offensive-minded head coaches for the franchise.

The hiring was first reported by Fox Sports and ESPN, with both outlets saying final details were still being worked out Tuesday night. The Raiders had no immediate comment on the reports.

New general manager Reggie McKenzie decided on his new coach exactly two weeks after he was hired. He immediately fired Hue Jackson, who went 8-8 in his only season as coach, and began the search.

Mike Stoops’ pact approved OKLAHOMA CITY — Mike Stoops has received a three-year contract that will pay him $600,000 annually to be the defensive coordinator for Oklahoma, and he’ll have a familiar face helping him.

The university’s board of regents voted Tuesday to approve the terms of Stoops’ employment, which includes a $245,000 base salary and $355,000 for personal services and fundraising. Later in the day, the Sooners announced that Tim Kish — Stoops’ former defensive coordinator at Arizona, who succeeded him as interim coach — would be the new linebackers coach.

Despite those numbers, Tech certainly will have its hands full with KU’s dynamic duo of Davis and Goodrich.

Goodrich, who averages 12.7 points per contest, leads the nation in assists-per-game, with 7.7 per outing. Davis (17.6 ppg) leads the nation in field goal percentage at 62.2 percent.

Despite all of her shiny stats and the significant improvement her team has shown on the road this season, Goodrich said she hopes her team will remember what went wrong against Texas A&M and Kansas State when it faces Texas Tech tonight.

“You can always learn a lot from a loss,” Goodrich said.

“And we need to take that and build momentum going into Wednesday.”

KANSAS FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Weis looks to shore up QB reserves

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With quarterbacks Brock Berglund and Jordan Webb off of the roster, and BYU transfer Jake Heaps forced to sit out the 2012 season because of NCAA transfer rules, Kansas University coach Charlie Weis has a pretty big hole to fill at quarterback, despite having landed projected starter Dayne Crist from Notre Dame.

Although the current KU roster includes quarterbacks Michael Cummings and Blake Jablonski, neither has any game experience, and that appears to be reason enough for Weis to continue his search for a backup quarterback.

According to a report from JayhawkSlant.com, that search will include City College of San Francisco QB Turner Baty, who is scheduled to meet with Weis and KU recruiting coordinator

Rob Ianello sometime today in San Francisco.

In helping lead CCSF to a junior college national championship last season, Baty, 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, tossed 42 touchdowns and ran for 300 yards and seven more TDs. The selfproclaimed pro-style quarterback visited Michigan and drew i n t e r e s t Baty from Oklahoma, but roadblocks both places prevented the mutual interest from going any further. With time running out on recruiting the Class of 2012, Baty is hoping for a chance at Kansas.

“I know (KU) put me on their recruiting board,” he told Jon Kirby, of JayhawkSlant.com. “They said they would take another quarter-

known heading into signing day. However, with a couple of targets still on the fence and Weis holding a few spots for future transfers, anything is possible one week from today.

As of Tuesday night, KU had 15 commitments in its current class. Six were junior-college players, six were high school seniors and three were mid-year transfers, who already are on campus.

While most commitments choose to sign on the opening day of the signing period, they are not required to do so. Recruits in the Class of 2012 have until April 1 to sign their letters of intent.

Once signing day passes, a couple of other key dates to remember are: March 27, the opening day of spring football, and April 28, the day of the annual spring game.

KU also is expected to host a pro timing day for graduating seniors preparing for the NFL Draft sometime in early to mid-March.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Practice makes perfect for Jeff Withey

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University junior center Jeff Withey hasn’t been surprised by his season-long success at the freethrow line.

“I’ve been pretty good throughout my basketball career,” Withey, a 7-foot, 235-pounder from San Diego, said after hitting six of seven charities in Monday’s 64-54 victory over Texas A&M in Allen Fieldhouse.

That followed Saturday’s eight-of-nine effort in a 69-66 victory at Texas.

“I definitely work on it every day. Before practice, I’ll shoot between 50 and 100 free throws. I know they are free points, so I have to make them.”

Withey has converted 50 of 59 free throws for a teamleading 84.7 percent. He made just 17 of 33 in limited duty last year for 51.5 percent.

“I’ve been practicing free throws since the beginning of the season,” Withey said.

“This year I’ve definitely improved. I’ve been working at it and will continue to work at it.”

Withey made sure to mention the free-throwing of fellow big man Thomas Robinson, who went 10 for 10 from the line versus A&M. The two combined to cash 16 of 17 free throws, quite important in a close game.

Keegan CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

So why did the spread open at a greater KU advantage than just the homecourt differential?

“If you’re going to ask me who’s going farther in the tournament, my money’s on Kansas,” Kornegay said.

“It’s in Lawrence. Baylor is No. 3 and undefeated. I don’t think Kansas looks past that.

You knew Kansas would be highly motivated, which they were. A traditional power at home, and you’ve got not a traditional power coming in there, undefeated and ranked higher than you — you want to prove something for sure.

In that kind of environment, it’s tough for Baylor to go in and stay close.”

That’s the way the linesetters saw it, but not the betting public. By game time, the spread had gone down to 5.5 points. Kornegay dispelled a myth about the goal of line-setters, which we all always have been told is to draw equal money on both teams. By doing so, the house would always profit because for the one placing the wager, winning $100 requires betting $110.

“Our goal is to win more than we lose,” Kornegay said. “That’s what we try to do. It’s rare that you have a game that you have equal action on both sides. Is that what the line’s supposed to do? Yeah. It rarely happens.

I would say one out of 10 games we look at and say ‘It doesn’t matter who wins, we’re going to win (because there is roughly equal money on both sides).’”

“

What we are getting out of Jeff is consistency ... As he gets through this year into next year, he will continue to develop.”

— Kansas University assistant coach Joe Dooley on junior center Jeff Withey “Thomas was great tonight, 10-for-10. He came up big for us again,” Withey said.

Overall this season, Withey has made 52.3 percent of his field goal attempts to go with the torrid free-throw mark.

“One of the underrated things he’s doing ... he’s shooting 85 percent from the free-throw line which is very good for a big man,” KU assistant coach Joe Dooley said, subbing for head coach Bill Self on Tuesday’s Hawk Talk radio show. “He draws a lot of fouls. It’s a good thing because at the end of a game, a lot of times you have to take guys out. You can leave him in the game to protect the basket and also know if he rebounds the ball, you’ve got a pretty good free-throw shooter. When he rebounds it, we hopefully can go to the other end and make free throws.”

Withey — he averages 8.1 points and 6.1 rebounds with 66 blocks in 20 games — swatted eight of Texas A&M’s shots on Monday. He had seven and six blocks re-

spectively in wins over Iowa State and Kansas State.

“What we are getting out of Jeff is consistency,” Dooley said. “It’s not necessarily shots he blocks, but also ones he alters ... or people stop and shoot pullups as opposed to getting all the way to the rim.

As he gets through this year into next year, he will continue to develop.”

That’s the plan, Withey said.

“I don’t want to let anybody down. I want to keep growing as a basketball player and get better,” he said.

“I’m definitely in the right place for that with coach Self and coach Manning (Danny, big-man coach). I’m going to keep trying to get better.”

Withey and Robinson hit six of 15 floor shots Monday on a night Tyshawn Taylor cashed six of nine shots, including three of six threes, for 17 points. Taylor scored 22 points in Saturday’s win over Texas and 28 in back-toback contests versus Baylor and Iowa State. He’s had 18 assists to 11 turnovers the last four games.

“Tyshawn is playing great,” Withey said. “He’s our point guard. It’s what we expect from him. He’s a senior, been a starter four years.

He’s our captain. We’ll jump on his back and let him take us on a ride.

“He got a lot of blame early on in the season (from fans).

In the locker room, we are uplifting him. We know how

The reaction to the sevenpoint spread didn’t surprise the oddsmakers.

“I would say most of the tickets were on Baylor, no doubt about it,” Kornegay said. “We heard them talking about it on the other side of the counter, and they were saying what we thought they would say, ‘Undefeated, ranked third. I can’t believe it. This doesn’t make sense.’”

The folks setting the lines have to take into consideration more than the average bettor’s anticipated reaction.

“We have to protect against the sharps,” Kornegay said.

The sharps?

“The professionals, the wise guys,” Kornegay said, meaning the hard-core, serious gamblers who come armed with research and a knack for picking games.

“They have their opinions as well. Most of our lines are to keep those guys in check.

Most of the money that comes in on a daily basis is from these types of players.”

he can play. He’s showing it now. We know he can play like this. Early on we knew that wasn’t Tyshawn. This is the Tyshawn we see every day.”

Noted Dooley: “Tyshawn’s not turning it over as much in spurts. In Tyshawn’s defense — and coach (Self) has alluded to this so many times — the ball is in his hands so much more than any player we’ve had since we’ve been here. He has to do so many things. He is continuing to grow, adapting to his role, knowing when he needs to score and when he needs to be a distributor, which he has done well the past couple of weeks.”

FSHS coach Mike Gillman agreed that the showdown at 182 should be exciting, and lauded Wright-Conklin for his two state championships.

Gillman described Wilson’s technique as more unorthodox, but said the Firebirds junior should be up for the challenge.

“He’ll play it down like he’s not really excited,” Gillman said of Wilson, “but I think he’s pretty excited for the opportunity.”

Naughton said both wrestlers have worked hard to get to this point, and he was impressed with Wilson’s second-place finish at state as a 160-pound sophomore.

“He’s definitely a force to be reckoned with,” the LHS coach said of Wilson.

What makes Wright-Conklin so tough, Gillman said, is his speed, given his bulk and strength.

“Reece isn’t tiny,” Gillman said. “At all.”

Another match to watch

for, Naughton said, will be in the 132-pound class, with Lawrence’s Lynch facing FSHS senior Andrew McLees.

Given the Lions’ success this year, Gillman expects the dual to challenge his Firebirds — “We’re the underdog, for sure,” he said — and he knows wrestlers from both schools are looking forward to going up against the guys they grew up competing with and against.

“They get to try and beat their friends on the mat,” the FSHS coach said.

Showdown schedule Varsity matches are the main event, but festivities at the dual will be underway at 6 p.m. with junior varsity matches.

Following that, at about 6:30, will be exhibition matches featuring city wrestling clubs Sunflower Kids and Lawrence Elite.

At 7, LHS seniors who aren’t in the varsity lineup will wrestle.

When the varsity matches begin, Naughton said the dual might not start, as is tradition, at 106 pounds. Coaches from FSHS and LHS will draw the first weight class, so the starting point could be anywhere — from 106 to heavyweight.

Naughton said the first 100 LHS students to arrive will receive free T-shirts.

Manhattan CHIEF 45, Veritas 24 ST. GEORGE — Ellen Phillips scored 11 points and pulled down nine rebounds Tuesday night, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Veritas’ girls basketball team from losing to Manhattan CHIEF. Kristen Finger added six points and eight rebounds for the Eagles, who trailed 12-6 after one quarter and 24-9 at halftime.

“I thought we came out slow and lethargic,” Veritas coach Kevin Shelton said. “We really didn’t play like we wanted to play until the second half, and by then it was too late.”

The Eagles made just 10 of 35 shots.

“It was a poor shooting night,” Shelton said. “We’re just not finishing our shots.

We’re just not doing the things we know we need to do to win. I know we can do them. We put good stretches together, but we haven’t been able to do it for a whole game.”

Junior point guard Eric Shin fouled out with two minutes left in the game, and freshman Micah Edmondson replaced him off the bench.

Assistant coach Ryan Brittingham said Edmondson handled the Manhattan fullcourt press well, and Veritas extended its lead in the final minute.

Coach Gary Hammer missed the game due to a family issue. His 14-year-old son, Jacob, had all-day back surgery for scoliosis at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

“Our thoughts were with him all day,” said Brittingham of coach Hammer. “The team broke the huddle tonight by saying Jacob’s name.”

Bosh made 10 of 16 shots and reached the 30-point mark for the fourth time this season for Miami, which improved to 4-1 against Cleveland since James joined the Heat. The 35 points matched Bosh’s high since joining Miami.

Kyrie Irving — Cleveland’s No. 1 overall draft pick last year and a friend of James, who the Cavaliers drafted No. 1 in 2003 — scored 17 points on 7-for-11 shooting.

Samardo Samuels made his first seven shots and finished with 15 points for the Cavs, who got 10 from Ramon Sessions.

BAYLOR FORWARD PERRY JONES III DUNKS against Oklahoma in the first half on Tuesday in Norman, Okla.

No. 6 Baylor bounces back at Oklahoma The Associated Press

No. 6 Baylor 77, Oklahoma 65 NORMAN, OKLA. — After Baylor followed two perfect months with two straight losses, coach Scott Drew was glad to see his star player back on his game.

Perry Jones III had 21 points and tied his seasonhigh with 12 rebounds, leading the sixth-ranked Bears to a win over Oklahoma on Tuesday night.

It was Jones’ highest scoring output in 11 games, helping Baylor (18-2, 5-2 Big 12) bounce back after consecutive losses to conference leaders Kansas and Missouri, both also Top 10 teams.

“Welcome back, Perry Jones,” Drew said. “After he tweaked that ankle in Kansas, for a game-and-a-half I think that affected him. He had two good practices and mentally got right and physically has gotten better.

“He’s back to playing how he’s capable of playing.”

Pierre Jackson added 16 points and seven assists, Quincy Acy had 13 points and three blocks for the Bears, who shot 54 percent — their fourth time in the last five games to hit at least half of their shots.

No. 20 Michigan 66, Purdue 64 WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. — Michigan has aspirations of winning a Big Ten title, but the Wolverines know they can’t do it if they don’t win on the road.

Finally, they got one.

Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 19 points to help Michigan defeat Purdue on Tuesday night.

Michigan guard Trey Burke said the Wolverines heard the doubters, especially after a loss at Arkansas on Saturday.

“Coming off a tough loss to Arkansas, obviously, some tougher losses on the road earlier in the season, a lot of people were questioning if we could get a win on the road,” he said. “We stayed together in the second half, and it was good for us to get that win.”

Michigan coach John Beilein said he wouldn’t be picky about wins.

“It’s a relief to win another game,” he said. “I don’t dwell on it. I respect everybody who understands it’s a difficult thing. Only the great, great teams can win on the road continually.”

Jordan Morgan had 12 points and seven rebounds, Stu Douglass scored 12 points and Evan Smotrycz added 10 points for the Wolverines (16-5, 6-2), who entered the game in a tie for first place in the league. Michigan shot 54 percent from the field and outrebounded the Boilermakers 30-23.

“We have to be a better defensive team,” Purdue coach Matt Painter said. “We have to be more consistent, we have to contain the dribble better, just have more discipline. I think at times we make improvements at stretches, and then we have just absolute breakdowns.”

Hardaway was the most difficult player for Purdue to contain. He made 8 of 15 shots.

“You can see that he’s getting more comfortable with physical play,” Beilein said. “His body’s changed.

He made a couple of muscle plays inside. When you can get into the lane against Purdue, it’s really hard. He got there a few times, just enough to give us a few extra points.”

Lewis Jackson had 17 points and eight assists and Robbie Hummel added 16 points for the Boilermakers (14-7, 4-4).

No. 1 Kentucky 57, Georgia 44 ATHENS, GA. — Darius Miller came off the bench to score 19 points and Kentucky cruised in its first game since returning to No. 1 in the rankings, beating Georgia 57-44 on Tuesday night.

Miller, who had started eight of the previous nine games for the Wildcats (201, 6-0 Southeastern Conference), returned to the sixthman role he had played earlier in the season. The senior made 7 of 8 shots, including all four from 3-point range.

Kentucky used spurts of 10-0 and 10-1 to build a 38-26 halftime lead. The Bulldogs (10-10, 1-5) never threatened

in the second half, even though the Wildcats cooled off considerably. They went more than 5 minutes without scoring and made just 7 of 23 shots over the final 20 minutes.

No. 22 Kansas State thrives off bench depth MANHATTAN (AP) — Some would argue that Kansas State coach Frank Martin substitutes so readily because the Wildcats are so deep. Others would say that the Wildcats are so deep because he substitutes so liberally.

They might all be correct.

While teams like Kansas get by on five starters and a couple of go-to reserves off the bench, No. 22 Kansas State is the only team in the Big 12 with 10 players averaging at least 10 minutes per game.

“If I was a football coach, I’d drive you guys crazy,” Martin said with a sly grin.

“I’d sub the quarterback — I’d sub everybody. If guys don’t do their jobs, why should they play? I don’t care what they did last year or last week, last game. You’ve got to do your job every day.”

That’s why it’s not uncommon to see full line changes during games. Or star guard Rodney McGruder heading to the bench in the opening minutes. Or dependable forward Jamar Samuels taking a seat next to Martin in crunch time.

“How would your backup ever be ready to play if he never got in?” Martin asked.

That level of depth is why any player who commits a sloppy turnover, takes an illadvised shot or misses a defensive assignment will likely be on the bench within about 30 seconds. And why the guys coming off the bench have played enough impor-

KANSAS STATE GUARD RODNEY MCGRUDER (22) PUTS UP A SHOT between a group of Texas defenders during the second half on Jan. 18 in Manhattan. tant minutes to understand what the Wildcats need in any given situation.

Junior guard Martavious Irving is fast and strong, a good perimeter defender who can get to the rim and the foul line. Sophomore guard Shane Southwell gives the lineup more height, transfer Jeremy Jones can get off a shot as quickly as anybody, freshman Adrian Diaz has instincts that allow him to always find the ball, and senior Victor Ojeleye epitomizes work ethic and leadership.

All of that depth has already come in handy.

Six-foot-11 junior Jordan Henriquez was recently suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, removing one of the most assertive

big men on the team from the starting lineup. Redshirt freshman Nino Williams, who scored 12 points in his first significant playing time against Oklahoma, is trying to recover from a grade-two sprain of the MCL in his knee.

Martin’s constant changing of players keeps the Wildcats on their toes, both in practice and in games. A player must earn his time through practicing well, but just because he earns a certain spot does not mean he’ll keep it for the duration of the game.

It’s certainly a different philosophy than elsewhere around the league.

When the Wildcats hosted Texas on Jan. 18, McGruder and fellow guard Will Spradling were the only Kansas

State players on the floor for more than 30 minutes. Three others played about 20 minutes each, and another trio got off the bench for least a quarter of the game. Three more provided just shy of 10 minutes, and the result was enough energy down the stretch that the Wildcats hung on for an 84-80 victory.

By comparison, when the Jayhawks faced the Longhorns on Jan. 21, their five starters each played at least 30 minutes.

All that depth may come in handy late in the season. Now that there are only 10 teams in the league, the conference schedule has expanded to 18 games, with each team playing everybody else twice.

The Wildcats (14-4, 3-3) head

to Texas Tech on Wednesday night as they continue the opening slate of games against Big 12 opponents.

While a seven- or eightman system might work for other teams, it’s not the way Martin operates. He believes in giving players what he calls “line” based on how responsible they are — the line representing an ability to make mistakes and remain in the game.

“If you make some mistakes consistently, and your behavior doesn’t change, and you go out in the game and you make the same mistake that you make over and over, then that line is real short,” Martin said. “When you go out there and you’re a guy that continues to grow, when you make a mistake, that line’s a little longer.”

For many players, that constant cycle of evaluation and consequence takes some getting used to.

“It’s definitely new to me because I was always playing a lot in high school — I barely got off the floor in high school,” Diaz said. “And now that he subs me out like every second, it’s like, ‘OK, I’ve got to find a way to get back on the court.’”

The Wildcats have seen the merit in their coach’s method.

Irving started four conference games before Martin replaced him with Rodriguez. And since coming off the bench, the veteran guard has been playing better than ever.

OSU upsets 14th-ranked Texas A&M STILLWATER, OKLA. — Oklahoma State made Texas A&M’s last visit to Gallagher-Iba Arena as a conference foe one Aggies coach Gary Blair probably won’t care to remember.

Tiffany Bias scored 14 points and hit a tiebreaking, driving layup with 28 seconds left and Oklahoma State beat a ranked foe for the second time this season, downing No. 14 Texas A&M 57-53 on Tuesday night.

Oklahoma State (12-4, 4-3 Big 12) had lost 14 of its last 16 games against Texas A&M (13-5, 4-3), including the last seven in Stillwater, but the Cowgirls seized control with an 11-0 first-half run.

“They wanted it more than us,” Blair said. “I think we played the game on reputation, not between the ears.”

Texas A&M rallied to twice take a two-point lead in the second half, but the Aggies were done in by a season-high 26 turnovers and couldn’t take advantage of Oklahoma State’s seasonhigh 28 miscues. The Aggies shot 35.1 percent (20 of 57) from the field and shot only eight free throws, despite what, on paper, appeared to be a sizable advantage inside.

Oklahoma State won despite taking only 41 shots, making 18.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

In moderation, eggs can be part of healthy diet Q:

I read that eggs are not so bad for your cholesterol after all.

So, can I go back to having my two eggs for breakfast every morning?

Cooking Q&A

A:

One large egg contains 186 milligrams of dietary cholesterol — all of which is found in the yolk. The daily recommended cholesterol limit is less than 300 milligrams for people with normal LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. According to the American Heart Association, an egg can fit within heart-healthy guidelines for those people only if cholesterol from other sources — such as meats, poultry and dairy products — is limited.

For example, eating one egg for breakfast, drinking two cups of coffee with one tablespoon of half-and-half each, lunching on four ounces of lean turkey breast without skin and one tablespoon of mayonnaise, and having a 6-ounce serving of broiled, short loin porterhouse steak for dinner would account

Susan Johnson susanjohnson@ksu.edu

for about 510 milligrams of dietary cholesterol that day — nearly twice the recommended limit.

Mayo Clinic Cardiologist Thomas Behrenbeck advises, “Although eating too many eggs can increase your cholesterol, eating four egg yolks or fewer on a weekly basis hasn’t been found to increase your risk of heart disease.”

Breakfast is an excellent opportunity to boost whole grains, skim dairy and fruit consumption while protein is more often eaten at lunch and dinner. If you’re going to eat an egg, substitute veg-

etables for some of the meat, or drink your coffee without half-and-half in the example above. And remember that many other foods, especially baked goods, are prepared with eggs — and those eggs count toward your daily cholesterol limit. People with high LDL blood cholesterol levels or who are taking a blood cholesterol-lowering medication should eat less than 200 milligrams of cholesterol per day.

If you like eggs but don’t want the extra cholesterol, use only the egg whites. Egg whites contain no cholesterol. You may also use nonfat, cholesterol-free egg substitutes, which are made with egg whites. One egg white or one quarter cup of egg substitute has just 17 calories and virtually no cholesterol or fat.

Scramble nonfat egg whites with fresh sliced vegetables for a veggie omelette that is low in fat and high in nutrients and fiber. Serve over a half English muffin.

Hoisin, sherry flavor quick stir-fry

By Linda Gassenheimer McClatchy Newspapers

Garlic, sherry and hoisin sauce flavor chicken in this quick Chinese stir-fry. The start of the Chinese New Year this week inspired this quick and easy stir-fry dinner.

The cooking time for the chicken recipe is only 5 minutes. The secret to this quickcooked dish is cutting the chicken and cucumbers into 1/2-inch pieces. The cucumber gives the dish an intriguing texture and flavor.

Hoisin sauce is a mixture of soybeans, garlic, chile peppers and spices. It can be found in the Asian section of the supermarket. A small amount of dry sherry is called for. You can buy small bottles, or splits, of sherry at most liquor stores.

Microwaveable brown rice completes this quick meal, which contains 612 calories per serving with 28 percent of calories from fat.

Wine suggestion: This Asian chicken dish would go well with a slightly off-dry riesling.

Helpful hints:

Low-sodium soy sauce can be substituted for hoisin.

Minced garlic can be found in the produce section; 6 crushed garlic cloves can be substituted.

For easy stir-frying, place the prepared ingredients on a cutting board or plate in order of use. You won’t have to look at the recipe once you start to cook.

Make sure your wok is very hot before adding the ingredients.

A quick way to slice scallions is to snip them with a scissors.

Stir-Fried Diced Chicken And Cucumber Serve over microwaveable brown rice that you have heated according to package directions and tossed with 2 teaspoons canola oil and salt and pepper to taste.

3 teaspoons sugar 1/4 cup sherry 3 teaspoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon ground ginger 3/4 pound chicken tenders cut into 1/2-inch cubes 2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce 1 tablespoon water 1 medium cucumber (peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, about 2 cups) 1 tablespoon sesame oil 2 scallions, sliced Mix sugar with sherry, garlic and ground ginger. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. Remove chicken to a plate, reserving marinade. Sprinkle cornstarch over chicken and toss. Set aside. Mix hoisin sauce and water with marinade.

Heat sesame oil in wok or skillet over medium-high. Add chicken, leaving any liquid on the plate. Stir-fry 3 minutes.

Add cucumber and stir-fry 2 minutes. Remove to a bowl.

Add marinade to pan and cook 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken and cucumbers; toss well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with scallions.

nonfat egg substitute is to microwave a cup in a bowl for 3 minutes or until firm, then chop into squares. Add these to a veggie stir fry for a lean meal that is chock full of vegetables. Serve over brown rice.

Many recipes calling for whole eggs come out just as good when you use egg whites or cholesterol-free egg substitute instead of whole eggs. Replace each whole egg with two egg whites. For baking, you may want to add a tablespoon or less of liquid vegetable oil such as canola, safflower, sunflower or soybean for a moister consistency.

Here’s a healthy heart recipe from the American Heart Association using egg substitutes:

Potato and Egg Scramble 1 cup egg substitute 1 1/2 ounces low-fat tub

cream cheese (about heaping 2 1/2 tablespoons), cut into small pieces 1 teaspoon all-purpose saltfree seasoning blend 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 1/2 cups frozen diced hash brown potatoes 2/3 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper 1/2 cup no-salt-added canned stewed tomatoes, undrained 4 sprigs fresh cilantro (optional) In a small bowl, whisk together the egg substitute, cream cheese, and seasoning blend until almost smooth (you’ll still have some bits of cream cheese).

Put the oil in a large nonstick skillet, swirling to coat the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the potatoes, onion and bell pepper, stirring to combine. Cook for 8 to 9 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium. Pour in

the egg substitute mixture.

Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture is set, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, put the stewed tomatoes with liquid in another small bowl. Cut the tomatoes into bite-size pieces.

To serve, spoon the potato and egg mixture onto plates.

Spoon the tomatoes on top.

Garnish with the cilantro, if desired. Makes 4 servings.

MEATLESS MONDAY

Nachos: Black-eyed peas for the win

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

If you don’t think blackeyed peas are just for New Year’s Day or if you’re just in the mood for game night nachos, check out this yummy and filling recipe.

Pair it with some soup and or salad and you’ve got a fun and easy dinner with a good amount of protein (13 grams) and fiber (9 grams).

Bonus: It has sriracha in it.

Hot sauce FTW!

The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Minnesotans may have sampled Spam in more ways than others in the country, given that it comes from Austin, Minn., whether it’s tossed into hot dish, deep-fried with cheese at the bar, or cut up into samples at the State Fair Spam-mobile.

But the true motherland for Spam is the Hawaiian Islands, where Spam has worked its way into the state’s cooking since World War II, when it was served to members of the military stationed there. This year is the 75th anniversary of the canned meat product, introduced in 1937.

When I visited Oahu and Kauai this fall, I got a taste of the local cuisine. Think Spam macadamia nuts, with a salty, porky powder coating on the nuts.

Then there was Spam grilled, as a side dish to almost everything. Or wrapped around a pillow of rice with seaweed paper, like sushi, and called musubi. It’s sold like hot dogs are on the mainland, in little warmers at the convenience stores for a dollar or two, though there were also small cafes dedicated solely to producing a variety of musubi. President Obama has been spotted eating them on vacations.

Spam is part of breakfast, too, as a substitute to bacon or sausage, whether at Eggs ‘N’ Things in Waikiki, or at McDonald’s, with its Spam and egg plates. It’s as common as ordering bacon.

Taste of the islands: Say aloha to Spam

DAN PHELPS HARVESTS some heads of lettuce in a hoop house garden near Lone Star.

Hoop houses extend the growing season through winter. tually was very near a beach just weeks ago — visiting family in South Florida.

“Visiting family, reading books, watching movies,” he says of his winter plans. “I also try to do some promotion for Central Soyfoods (where he’s a partner), go to meetings, and I always have the goal, but don’t get a great deal done, of doing volunteer work.”

Some local farmers are even using the winter as a miniature selling season. Dan Phelps and Cole Cottin of MAD Farm are lining a table with vegetables every other Thursday at Cottin’s Farmer’s Market. Phelps said the

couple had planned all year to grow and sell veggies in the winter thanks to a hoop house setup, but this winter’s mild temps have made it much easier than expected.

He thinks a change in perspective during winters of any stripe can keep the local goodies coming even as farmers are putting in their seed orders for spring. A project for next winter, perhaps?

“You can grow year-round under plastic, even in the colder years. Last year was a pretty harsh winter and things don’t do much from mid-December to mid-January, they just kind of sit there, they don’t grow much, but

come Feb. 1, the things that are established in the ground are just bumping once the days get a little bit longer,” Phelps says. “And storage crops have a huge amount of potential. I think that’s an under-utilized market right now, growing more than you could possibly sell during the growing season for crops like potatoes and onions, sweet potatoes, garlic, winter squash — things that will store six months into the winter. I think increasing production of those crops would really, really help.”

I assembled the pizzas, all four a bit differently. Two had red sauce, two had white sauce. I topped them in various combinations with jalapeños, bacon, sausage, mozzarella and eggs.

The trick to getting the eggs right is to cook the pizzas at a high heat — 425 degrees — for 12 or 13 minutes, and them pull them out. Then crack the eggs over. I did four eggs per pizza, close to the center; they’re slippery and they’ll try to run off. Cook again for four to five minutes, to your desired doneness. I like them to be runny, so the buttery yolks run all over each slice.

Top the finished pizzas with fresh basil leaves, green onions, cilantro, whatever makes you happy.

But we didn’t stop with just the pizzas. We wanted

pancakes. For the kids! Right!

We’re making pancakes for dinner because of the kids!

But, we wanted to grow up the flapjacks a little, so we copied a favorite of Lindsey’s from a recent trip to Hawaii: coconut macadamia nut pancakes.

To do this, make your usual pancake batter but replace the liquid with coconut milk. Chop up some macadamia nuts and toss them on the pancakes when they’re half done — right before the flip. You can put real coconut in as well, but we didn’t think the kids would like that textural element. We topped them with some amazing coconut syrup Lindsey had brought back from the island. If you don’t jet off to the tropics regularly, you can order this amazing stuff online.

Here’s the recipe we used*:

Greek yogurt on a marathon-like growth spurt lion — caught the major U.S. yogurt makers “flat-footed.”

The result: Chobani had 53 percent of the Greek yogurt market, followed by Fage with 17 percent, France’s Danone (its subsidiary Dannon makes Oikos) with 14 percent and General Mills (Yoplait Greek) with 5 percent.

By Michael Hill Associated Press

SOUTH EDMESTON, N.Y. — Chobani is making Greek yogurt as fast as Americans are eating it.

Its plant here in upstate New York farm country already pumps out 1.5 million cases of the thick yogurt every week, and pallets are stacked four stories high in the chilled warehouse.

But like other Greek yogurt makers, Chobani is expanding.

Greek yogurt now accounts for a quarter of the total yogurt market after a dizzying growth spurt that is especially apparent here in the heart of upstate New York. The nation’s No. 1 and No. 2 Greek yogurt brands — Chobani and Fage, respectively — are both expanding plants within 60 miles of each other, and another company is building a plant in western New York. The expansions come as the big U.S. yogurt makers are focusing on Greek products, too.

Greek yogurt is made a bit differently than the thinner, more watery product that dominated U.S. supermarket shelves for decades. The whey is strained off, leaving a creamier yogurt high in protein and low in fat.

While the quick growth has some hallmarks of a food fad — think cupcakes or bubble tea — the long-term investments point to a widespread industry belief that many Americans will continue to like their yogurt a bit richer.

“I personally do not believe that the yogurt story has started yet. I believe the yogurt story in this country is about to start,” Chobani’s founder, Hamdi Ulukaya, said during an interview in his office. “The magnitude hasn’t started yet.”

CHOBANI GREEK YOGURT is seen at the Chobani plant in South Edmeston, N.Y. Greek yogurt now accounts for a quarter of the total yogurt market.

Little-known names Ulukaya has harnessed the Greek yogurt boom more successfully than anyone. In 2005, he bought an old Kraft Foods plant southeast of Syracuse with plans to make the kind of yogurt common in his home country of Turkey. He believed the standard yogurt found on many supermarket shelves “wasn’t made right.”

His company, Agro-Farma, started by making yogurt for Stonyfield Farm and other companies before launching Chobani in 2007 with limited runs to stores in the New York City area.

The Chobani plant today bustles with 14 production lines mechanically squirting yogurt into plastic cups that zip down conveyor belts.

The company said production will increase from 1.5 million cases a week to more than 2 million when the current $134 million expansion is completed this year. Another $128 million Chobani plant being built 2,000 miles west in Twins Falls, Idaho, will add still more.

About 60 miles northeast, the Greek company Fage (pronounced FA’-yeh) is in the early stages of doubling the capacity of its 3-year-old plant in Johnstown, N.Y. to

about 160,000 tons of yogurt annually.

By multiple accounts, the seeds of the Greek yogurt boom were planted years ago through Fage imports to New York City. Fage opened its U.S plant in 2008 to keep up with growing demand.

Russell Evans, Fage’s marketing director, said sales have grown on average of 50 percent a year for a decade.

Healthy perception Though often pricier, Greek yogurt is increasingly becoming a refrigerator staple as consumers seek healthy, “authentic” foods. Kate Winnebeck, a 30-year-old Rochester, N.Y., resident, likes its tanginess, but said it was nutrition that initially attracted her.

“I was looking for ways to get even more protein into my diet,” she said. “And I didn’t want to, at the time, eat a lot of eggs in the morning. I don’t have time for that.

I work full-time.”

At least initially, Greek yogurt zoomed to popularity without a lot of attention from the major yogurt makers. Citigroup Global Markets in an analyst report last month said its growth to $1 billion in annual sales — out of total yogurt sales of $4.1 bil-

Bigger brands The big players have clearly taken steps to grab some of the market back. General Mills added capacity and Dannon is in the process now, according to representatives of the two companies.

General Mills this winter will introduce Yoplait Greek Parfaits with granola and new flavors of Yoplait Greek yogurt in multi-packs.

“I think that you’re going to see a very high level of innovation in the yogurt category generally and in Greek yogurt specifically over the next 6 to 12 months,” General Mills chief executive officer Kendall J. Powell told a conference call with analysts last month.

General Mills and Dannon also began TV advertising this past summer. Oikos took direct aim at Chobani with a TV ad claiming their Greek yogurt was preferred 2-to-1 in a taste test.

UBS analyst David Palmer said Greek yogurt’s momentum continues and the market shift to Chobani has accelerated.

Still unclear is where the Greek market will top out, or whether it will crash back to earth like the old low-carb craze. Few expect a drop off anytime soon.

“We believe it is not a fad but rather a part of the market that is here to stay,” said Dannon spokesman Michael Neuwirth said. “At what level, I can’t predict.”

THE FLYING FORK

a blog by Megan Stuke

‘Brinner’ a winner any time H

aving friends over for dinner on weeknights can be a trick. We like to do it, for a lot of reasons, least of which is the obvious: our friends are fun. But we also like for our kid to get to see other kids during the week, and we like an excuse to put together a decent meal that doesn’t consist of melting cheese in tortillas or melting cheese between pieces of bread or picking up the leftovers on your kid’s plate and calling them “dinner.”

One of my favorite ways to pull together a good dinner for friends in the short space between work and dinner time (which, when you have kids, happens earlier and earlier, seeing as they go to bed at 7:30 p.m.) is to make breakfast for dinner.

Everything cooks fast, and most of the necessary ingredients are always lingering in my pantry and refrigerator. Also, most everything is kid friendly.

Recently, I told my friend Lindsey that her family’s presence was required for a Monday night meal, and then I immediately thought, “Crap, I didn’t make it to the store this weekend. What the heck will I feed them?” And immediately, after a quick mental review of the contents of our kitchen, I decided on “brinner.” But because I didn’t feel like making made-to-order omelets for seven, and because Mr. Meat and Potatoes is not a fan of breakfast casseroles, I had to think a little harder about what, exactly, that meant.

I arrived upon the idea of breakfast pizza pretty quickly, but I knew I didn’t have time to make pizza dough and let it rise, yada yada, after work, so I called up 715, 715 Mass., and told them I’d be by after work for a few crusts — or, rather, four dough balls that could quickly become crust in my kitchen. So easy, so delicious.

I made four breakfast pizzas with varying ingredients. The beauty of this is it’s sort of a “kitchen sink” situation. I had a half a pack of bacon, a bunch of eggs, and a pound of breakfast sausage. I made two different sauces, one red (a very simple and basic combination of tomato sauce and herbs), and one white.

Breakfast Pizza White Sauce 1/2 brick of cream cheese (I always use Neufchatel) 1/2 cup of milk 1 teaspoon salt black pepper to taste 2 teaspoon basil 1 teaspoon rosemary 1 teaspoon oregano 1 pat of butter Melt it all together and stir Please see FORK, page 9B

WORKING IN THE DEAD OF WINTER isn’t what one would think veggie farmers would be doing, but Stephanie Thomas and her husband, Tom Maiorana, were picking spinach in one of their hoop houses at Spring Creek Farm last week.

In dead of winter,

STEPHANIE THOMAS samples the fresh spinach picked in January.

farm operations remain lively

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

The weather lately might not prove it, but it is fullblown winter out there.

And whether the mercury hovers near 50 (like this week’s afternoons) or 5 (like points last winter), it’s still winter. And no one knows this fact better than local farmers.

They work hard day in and day out from weeks before the last frost up until Thanksgiving, planting, harvesting and caring for food that nourishes many in Douglas County, but that doesn’t mean farmers spend the winter on a sandy beach or even in their pajamas.

“We usually try to go to Hawaii and stuff if possible,” jokes cattleman Mark Wulfkuhle. “No, I mean, right now we have 1,000 mouths to feed.”

On the farm, there’s work to be done, season be darned.

A mild winter Truth be told, though, this winter’s mild side has certainly made things a bit easier on local farmers. At his Rocking H Ranch just south of Stull, Wulfkuhle and his family aren’t com-

“

We usually try to go to Hawaii and stuff if possible. No, I mean, right now we have 1,000 mouths to feed.”

— Cattleman Mark Wulfkuhle, joking about taking time off during the winter plaining in the least that things have been, for the most part, unseasonably warm.

“It takes more feed to keep their body temperature warm, so we’ve been able to use less feed,” says Wulfkuhle, who grew up raising cattle. “In the winter we have to keep good open water for them, and it’s a struggle to keep the ice chopped and keep our waters going and this year we haven’t had too much of a struggle. From the livestock end, this has been a real blessing for us, compared to the last couple of years.”

Vegetable farmers are also enjoying the weather, which is allowing for maintenance that is usually hard to do during the winter, and nearly impossible

to do during the full-time growing seasons of spring, summer and fall.

“Although we always do maintenance and repair on the buildings, we’ve been able to actually prime and paint doors and things like that that we would never be able to do now,” says Stephanie Thomas of Spring Creek Farm near Baldwin City. “That part of it is a little different. But I think for the most part we have a certain routine we go through out there anyway regardless of the weather.”

Jill Elmers of Moon on the Meadow says she, too, is enjoying fixing outbuildings, but niggling thoughts about the warmth do tend to worry her in ways that wouldn’t bother a livestock operation. The cold does have its purpose for those who grow from seed to harvest.

“It’s definitely making for a better frame of mind,” says Elmers, who took advantage of a recent 60-degree day to till up a field for an upcoming planting.

“It has been a very strange winter, so we’ll see what that does to affect our spring. If you have a really warm winter, you tend to have more pest problems

farm, regardless of the temperature. Farmers must order seeds for the season, plan planting schedules, crop rotations, prepare contracts for restaurants and grocery stores, work Preparation and rest on promotion and stay upIf this winter weren’t so to-date with certifications strange, it wouldn’t mat- and professional organizater a whole lot; the same tions. checklist needs to be done Please see FARMS, page 9B each year down on the in the spring because we don’t have the real deep cold to kill off a lot of bugs, which can be detrimental.

And we definitely need some more moisture.”

They start and then decide it’s a waste of time and end up spending everything they set aside.

I’m the opposite. I have always saved for whatever I needed or wanted. My grandfather got me into the habit when I was 10, and I kept it up long after he passed away.

Over the past 15 years, I managed to save quite a bit. But when my parents saw what I had, they demanded that I share it with my sisters. I absolutely refuse. This is my money. I earned it. I saved it.

And I told them that.

Since then, I’ve been receiving messages from my parents that “families help each other out” and “families share.” My parents have al-

A world without hugs and a plot full of holes

Kiefer Sutherland returns to the Fox lineup in “Touch” (8 p.m.). He’s not Jack Bauer, but Martin Bohm, a sorely overextended single dad whose wife died on Sept. 11. His 11-year-old son, Jake (David Mazouz), has never uttered a word. He refuses to be hugged or even touched. Experts say he’s autistic, but Martin believes that Jake’s fascination with numbers may be more than a retreat to an inner world.

It could be his advanced way of communicating.

Over the course of the pilot, we discover that Jake can see interconnectivity in numbers that gives him insights beyond the comprehension of most mere mortals. These numbers provide codes and clues that Martin tries desperately to decipher, even as social workers attempt to take Jake away from him.

Danny Glover appears for about 30 seconds as a mystic and professor who declares that Jake and other children like him are part of some new wrinkle in evolution, a hint of humans to come; they can see the wondrous connections in all of existence. If a plot about an advanced race with super abilities sounds familiar, it’s because “Touch” was written and created

by Tim Kring, the man behind “Heroes.”

Words like “interconnectivity” and “synchronicity” offer a nice spin on an old-fashioned term: “coincidence.” And any drama filled with too many coincidences often seems contrived. “Touch” has a menu of nothing but coincidences served over a steaming bowl of Hollywood New Age gumbo.

There’s a subplot about a cellphone traveling around the world from one suitcase to another. The phone contains images and information that may save one London man’s marriage, turn an anonymous Irish singer into a superstar or transform a goofy Iraqi teen into a suicide bomber. It’s all presented with a breathless wonder that insists we overlook any lapses in logic and common sense. It’s like “Crash” on steroids.

For all of its excesses, “Touch” might be easier to take if it didn’t hobble so awkwardly on the crutches of such heavily loaded subjects — the heartbreak of childhood autism and the tragedy of Sept. 11.

Perhaps the greatest mystery surrounding “Touch” is Fox’s decision to air the pilot tonight and then ask viewers to wait until March 19 for the series to resume. I’m not sure viewers will make that connection.

“Mystery of a Masterpiece” on “NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS) looks at forensic technology that combats the illegal traffic of stolen paintings and helps art history scholars tell genuine masterpieces from forgeries.

Tonight’s other highlights

Auditions continue on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

An accountant scams celebrity clients in the season premiere of “American Greed” (8 p.m., CNBC).

Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) departs on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

A convicted serial killer provides clues to investigators on the new series “Dark Minds” (9 p.m., ID).

Rock-and-rollers fall ill on “Royal Pains” (9 p.m., USA).

Dear Stuck: You do not owe your sisters money simply because they have been irresponsible. What you can do, however, is teach them better fiscal behavior. Tell them you are absolutely under no circumstances going to bail them out, so they need to start setting aside some funds for their future. Make an appointment for them to see a financial counselor through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc.org) at 1-800-388-2227, and set up a budget. It’s the biggest favor you can do for them.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Wednesday, Jan. 25: Your dreams play an even stronger role in your life this year. For that reason alone, you might want to consider keeping a dream diary. If you are single, curb a tendency to commit before you really know the person. If you are attached, the two of you expand your household or make some positive changes to your home.

Pisces has great ideas for how to spend your money.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) What you might be thinking may not be apparent. In fact, you are working on a very different, intuitive level. If you have a strong sense financially, follow through, as long as the risk is not too great. Tonight: Relax to some good music.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You zero in on what is happening with a friend. Be gracious. Let this person tell you what is going on, though he or she might not be exactly sure. Tonight: Where the action is.

Dear Annie: My wife is addicted to playing games on her smartphone. She lies in bed in the morning playing games before she gets ready for work.

When she comes home, she is often on the phone when she walks through the door.

When we sit down for supper (which I usually make), she plays games while we eat. At bedtime, she lies in bed with her smartphone, playing until she falls asleep.

If we go out, she plays games at the restaurant. Conversation always begins with, “What?” because she is so engrossed in her game.

She hardly does anything around the house anymore and barely notices our son, let alone interacts with him. How do I break her of this habit? — Lost in Lexington, Ky. Dear Lost: These games can be highly addictive, and your wife must admit the extent of her involvement before she will be able to cut back. Have you addressed this directly with her? Have you told her how neglected you feel and how much your son misses his mother?

Have you asked her to limit her game-playing to specific times?

If she refuses to deal with this or change her behavior, the next step is counseling before your resentment creates a more serious problem.

We hope she will listen to an unbiased third party.
