Hallmark plans to add 200 jobs in Lawrence Center will produce all domestic greeting cards and envelopes

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A previously announced plan to close Topeka’s Hallmark plant now looks like it will add about 200 jobs to the company’s Lawrence greeting card factory.

Kansas City-based Hallmark

is estimating there will be about 700 jobs at the Lawrence production center, 101 McDonald Drive, after work is transferred to Lawrence from Topeka by the end of the year.

That’s up from the approximately 500 employees the Lawrence plant has had over the past several years, and it also is more than what Hallmark officials indicated when they made the

consolidation announcement in tween the company’s Lawrence October. Back then, Hallmark and Leavenworth plants.

Hallmark officials now are esofficials estimated it would have about 1,000 employees in timating the Leavenworth plant northeast Kansas, and that they Please see HALLMARK, page 2A would be about evenly split be-

DOUG EIFER, OF LAWRENCE, takes to the chilly waters of Clinton Lake on Tuesday to get some exercise. Seventy-degree temperatures on Thursday and Friday are expected to be more conducive to outdoor activity.

The city of Lawrence has officially embarked on one of the larger projects in its history — a new $64 million sewage treatment plant — and Lawrence residents soon will discover that the bill for it and a host of other projects is in the mail.

City commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting unanimously agreed CITY to approve new water and COMMISSION sewer rates that will increase the monthly bill of an average household by about 6 percent, but sets the city on a path to complete more than $160 million worth of utility improvements that staff members say are badly needed before 2017.

House panel approves 4% cut to higher education

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee on TuesLEGISLATURE day approved a 4 percent

cut in state funding to higher education. The proposed reduction would total $29.2 million, including a cut at Kansas University of nearly $10 million.

Rep. Ward Cassidy, R-St.

Francis, who proposed the cut from Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan, said it would help balance the state budget. “This will give us some money to work with,” Cassidy said.

He said he hoped that at the end of this legislative session, lawmakers can review whether additional money is available for higher education.

“There is a lot of pain with

this cut,” said Rep. Jerry Henry of Atchison, who is the ranking Democrat on the committee.

He said such a cut would cause higher tuition increases, Please see HIGHER ED, page 2A

Lawmaker apologizes for bribery allegation against KTA chief

TOPEKA — The chairman of the Kansas House Appropriations Committee said Tuesday that he was misunderstood and didn’t mean to imply that the head of the Kansas Turnpike Authority had offered $25 mil-

lion to kill a proposal to merge the turnpike with the Kansas Department of Transportation.

The allegation made Monday elicited a strong denial from KTA President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Johnston.

Higher ed

Tim Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor for public affairs, said such a cut, as proposed in Appropriations, “really jeopardizes the role we play in fueling economic growth and development in the state.�

A 4 percent cut would equal $5.48 million at KU and $4.28 million at the KU Medical Center for a total of $9.76 million. It would put state funding at KU below 2006 levels.

Asked whether the reduction would impact tuition rates, Caboni said, “There is an absolute relationship between a level of state support and tuition increases.� He noted that state funding per student has decreased 40 percent since 1999.

Caboni said if the 4 percent cut were instituted, KU would look at ways to reduce expenses. “We have been so good at reducing our business expenses. The question is: How much more can you cut without having to cut the core functions of the institution,� he said.

price some graduating seniors from access to postsecondary education, and hurt economic development.

When Cassidy first proposed the 4 percent cut, Rep. Barbara Ballard, DLawrence, tried to reduce it to a 2 percent cut, but her effort failed.

Republican leaders are trying to craft a state spending plan that doesn’t factor in revenue in Brownback’s tax plan because that plan has not gained acceptance in the Legislature yet.

Brownback, a Republican, has proposed reducing individual state income tax rates during the next four years but keeping the state sales tax at 6.3 percent.

Under current law, the sales tax rate is supposed to decrease to 5.7 percent on July 1. Brownback also has proposed eliminating homeowner deductions for mortgage interest and real estate taxes.

allegedly made to the governor was absolutely false, preposterous and laughable.�

Johnston said he ran into Gov. Sam Brownback “and had a similar conversation with him.�

Rhoades said on Tuesday that when he brought up the $25 million during Monday’s committee meeting, it was in the context of having heard that

will have about 300 employees. “I would caution everyone that there is still a big ‘about’ in front of all those statements, but those are the numbers we’re planning on right now,� Linda Odell, a Hallmark spokeswoman, said.

Hallmark officials said they expect the Topeka plant, which has been open since 1966, to close by the end of the year.

Work to ready the Lawrence plant for the new employees already is under way.

As we previously reported, city officials in January issued a $600,000 building permit for interior modifications at the Hallmark plant. In February, city officials issued permits for another $556,500, bringing total construction work at the site to $1.15 million.

Odell said the company is not planning a physical expansion of the building, but rather is making modifications to the interior to accommodate additional equipment.

When the transition is complete, the Lawrence production center will produce all domestic Hallmark greeting cards and envelopes.

Previously, the Topeka plant was responsible for all domestic production of envelopes, and Lawrence and Topeka shared in the greeting card production.

Lawrence’s ribbon and sticker production lines are being moved to the company’s Leavenworth plant. Odell said she didn’t yet have an estimate of how many of the new Lawrence jobs will be transfers from Topeka versus new hires to the company.

She said over the last several months Hallmark has been offering voluntary buyouts to employees who have shown an interest in leaving the company. Odell said nearly 300 employees have taken advantage of the program.

Hallmark is reducing its workforce in northeast Kansas from about 1,300 to 1,000 people in an effort to improve the company’s cost structure.

Odell also didn’t have an estimate on the wages for the new positions, but she said the new Lawrence jobs would be very similar to the production positions that already exist at the plant.

Also on Tuesday, the company made two management announcements for the Lawrence plant.

Lawrence resident David Millen has been appointed to oversee domestic greeting card production for Hallmark.

Millen previously had been the general manager for Hallmark’s Topeka plant. He now will oversee operations in Lawrence as part of his new job.

Keith Kennedy, who has been the general manager of the Lawrence plant since 2010, is now overseeing the consolidation efforts for Hallmark in northeast Kansas.

STEVE LAYMAN, OF RURAL LEAVENWORTH COUNTY, says the sound of a sand-dredging operation on the Kansas River has negatively affected his cattle and has sometimes prevented him and his neighbors from sleeping at night.

Neighbors to urge county to put sound limits on sand operation

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Stand anywhere outside Steve Laymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house in rural Leavenworth County and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear the constant drone of a diesel engine far off to the south.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the sound of a sand dredge operating on the Kansas River, about a half-mile south of the southern edge of his property.

At times, it operates 24 hours a day. And on those nights, he says, he and his neighbors often canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep.

But even if he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear the dredge himself, Layman says it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to figure out it was COUNTY running because COMMISSION his cattle get nervous and immediately move as far from the sound as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally cattle are real docile,â&#x20AC;? Layman said last week as he walked among his small herd, including some that have just calved. The dredge had just re-

started operations a couple days earlier after being idle since December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it first started, all they would do is walk, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go to the far north side of the pasture to get away from it,â&#x20AC;? Layman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even go down to eat hay if it was at the south side of the pasture.â&#x20AC;?

can move out of the river, onto dry land on the south bank, where it hopes to operate a pit mine.

Douglas County commissioners are expected to make a final decision on the permit application when it meets at 6:35 p.m. today at the county courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. The proposed sand pit has been hotly debated for months, at both the Lawrence-Douglas County and the City of Eudora planning commissions, as well as the County Commission. Last month, two of three county commissioners, Mike Gaughan and Jim Flory, appeared to reach agreement to approve the permit, subject to a long list of conditions.

Layman says he and his neighbors are hoping that strict limits on noise coming off the dredge will be one of those conditions.

Currently, Layman said, neither the county nor the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates noise from the dredge because the dredge is on the river, which is the jurisdiction of the Corps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Corps of Engineers doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deal with sound,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They deal with river dredging; they deal with (river)

The first such event is the Sheep Shearing Open Farm Day, scheduled for this Saturday.

Prior to the 6:35 meeting, the commission will meet at 4 p.m. to consider routine items and other issues not expected to generate public comment.

33-year sentence given for Ottawa sex assault

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A former truck driver was sentenced to more than 33 years in prison Tuesday in Franklin County District Court in connection with a February 2000 kidnapping and sexual assault of an Ottawa teenager.

Ralph E. Corey, 53, was convicted in October â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for the second time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of five charges in the case, including aggravated kidnapping, attempted rape, sexual battery and criminal threat.

The sentencing brings some closure to a case that went cold for more than a decade, after a 16-year-old girl was kidnapped in the parking lot of the Ottawa Walmart as she ended her work shift.

He was an accomplished and respected scientist who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind getting his hands dirty discovering or cleaning new specimens, and he was a public spokesman for his field who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind ruffling feathers within it, his colleagues said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was really good at bringing science to life, for both a practitioner as well as the public,â&#x20AC;? said Biodiversity Institute director Leonard Krishtalka, a fellow paleontologist who met Martin when they were both doctoral students at KU in the early 1970s.

From 1972 until his death, Martin was a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and a curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Biodiversity Institute, the research center behind KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Natu-

The girl was then driven to several locations in Ottawa and sexuCOURTS ally assaulted.

The victim, now 29, addressed the court at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentencing, asking Judge Eric Godderz to give Corey the maximum sentence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone violated me in a way no one could imagine,â&#x20AC;? said the woman, standing just several feet away from Corey, who declined to comment at the hearing.

Godderz sentenced Corey to 272 months on the kidnapping charge, 59 months in the attempted rape, 32 months on both of the sexual battery counts

and six months for criminal threat. Godderz ordered the sentences to run consecutively, or one after another, for a total sentence of 401 months.

Godderz denied a motion from Coreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, John Boyd, to depart from sentencing guidelines and sentence Corey to just 10 years. In his decision, Godderz cited Coreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive criminal history, which included more than 20 past convictions and at least one other sexual offense.

Franklin County Attorney Stephen Hunting said he was pleased with the outcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thankful that the family hung in there,â&#x20AC;?

Hunting said.

A jury had found Corey guilty in July, but after the verdict, a juror told a

court employee that the juror accessed information about the case from a smartphone during the trial â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in violation of the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instruction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a mistrial was declared.

No arrests had been made in the case until 2011, when Coreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DNA profile in the national DNA databank matched evidence collected at the scene. When the profile matched, Corey was serving time in a federal prison in Arizona on counterfeiting charges. Corey also spent time in a Virginia prison after he was caught smuggling 500 pounds of marijuana through Virginia in a semitrailer.

He was a rare â&#x20AC;&#x153;renaissance paleontologistâ&#x20AC;? who possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of all kinds of animals, said Alan Feduccia, a professor emeritus at the University of North Carolina who co-wrote about a dozen research papers with him.

He wrote about 170 research papers in all, including some published in the most prestigious journals in the world. He won research grants from a variety of agencies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge loss for the field,â&#x20AC;? Feduccia said.

He also helped Burnham, who prepares fossil material for study in the Biodiversity Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vertebrate paleontology lab, locate and prepare new specimens. Burnham said Martin seemed to know where each of the 150,000 items in the labâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection was located.

And he passed that expertise and research ability on to his students, said Krishtalka, who had worked with Martin since becoming the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director in 1995. One former student of Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now directs the most prestigious

paleontology institution in China, another is a leader in South Korea, and others conduct research all over the United States.

KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paleontology graduate program is frequently ranked among the best in the country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No. 7 in the most recent U.S. News and World Report rankings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Martin has been a big part of that strength, Krishtalka said.

Feduccia said he and other paleontologists from around the country would often come to Lawrence to visit Martin and his wife, Jean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was just a jovial chap and had one of those magnetic personalities,â&#x20AC;?

Feduccia said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and he was just a joy to be around.â&#x20AC;?

But while he had many friends among his colleagues, he was not afraid of controversy. After new fossil discoveries in China during the past 15 years, Martin pushed a theory that birds had co-existed with dinosaurs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in contrast to the accepted theory that birds had actually evolved from dinosaurs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did not fear to go against the conventional established theory,â&#x20AC;?

Krishtalka said.

His work caused some contention, Krishtalka said. But Feduccia said many scientists now agree with Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideas.

Even if he was willing to challenge ideas in his field, Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundless enthusiasm made him a great spokesman for paleontology, colleagues said.

He made frequent appearances on TV, including on the Discovery Channel and â&#x20AC;&#x153;NOVAâ&#x20AC;? on PBS, to discuss saber-toothed cats, birds and dinosaurs.

Above all, Burnham said, Martin aimed to tell the stories of these beasts that roamed the planet millions of years ago, to other scholars, regular folks or anyone who would listen. And he did so like few others could do it, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These things, he wanted to bring back to life,â&#x20AC;?

Burnham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And he certainly did.â&#x20AC;?

community not only this year, but really for the decades to come,â&#x20AC;? City Manager David Corliss told commissioners.

The largest project staff members will begin working on is a new sewage treatment plant that will be constructed on cityowned ground south of the Wakarusa River, just south of where Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connell Road meets the river.

The project will create a second sewage treatment plant for the city. The plant is designed partly to provide the community the ability to accommodate more growth in coming decades, but also is needed to take pressure off of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current treatment plant during wet weather events.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current plant is drawing scrutiny from the Environmental Protection Agency on how it functions during heavy rains.

City officials hope to hire the necessary engineers to begin designing the project this year. Design work is expected to last until late 2014, when construction will begin.

The plant is expected to open by 2018.

The project, though, will take more than just a 6 percent increase of water and sewer bills this year.

Technically, commissioners on Tuesday approved a multiyear plan that calls for similar rate increases each year through 2017.

But future commissions will have to approve those increases before they take effect.

The higher rates for 2013 will start showing up on bills in coming weeks.

The city estimates the average household that uses 4,000 gallons of water per month would see its monthly water/sewer bill rise to $50.51 per month in 2013, up from $47.64 per month currently.

No one from the public spoke either for or against the rate increases. But the room was full of private engineers who were on

hand to watch the city open the door on more than $160 million worth of infrastructure projects in the city.

The 2013 rates are scheduled to fund about $37 million in water and sewer projects, including a new water intake for the aging Kaw Water Treatment plant, replacement of water tanks on Mount Oread, and a new water transmission line across the Kansas River to North Lawrence.

The remaining $125 million worth of projects â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including $19 million to address taste and odor issues with the drinking water â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are planned for years 2014 through 2017, and will require future City Commissions following through on rate increases to fund the projects.

Mayor Bob Schumm said he thought it would be unwise for the city to wait any longer to address the significant utility needs. He said several projects â&#x20AC;&#x201D; completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway, the Farmland industrial park, the new recreation center and others â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would spur growth in the next decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us to not take the challenge and move this forward where we can accommodate the growth would be penny-wise and pound-foolish,â&#x20AC;? Schumm said.

Other commissioners agreed. City Commissioner Mike Amyx, the lone commissioner running for re-election, said he thought parts of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utility system were at risk of failure if work wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t undertaken. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are basic, core services that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about here,â&#x20AC;? Amyx said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw.

The recognition came after Tammy Peterson, the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer, told the board some stories from the snowstorms.

About 600 patients were in the hospital when the first storm hit, and about 500 were there when the second one came through less than a week later. And cancer patients still needed to come in to the Cancer Center for chemotherapy, marrow transplants and other treatments.

To keep things running, some staff whose cars were stuck just walked to work. One woman trudged more than two miles during the height of the storm, Peterman said.

The staff set up a database of transportation needs, making use of a transportation contractor and several volunteers who drive SUVs to get workers to the hospital on time.

About 300 staffers spent the night at the hospital between shifts during the first storm, and about 400 stayed during the second. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas University reporter Matt Erickson can be reached at 832-6388.

Senate advances judicial selection bill TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas Senate advanced a bill Tuesday changing the way judges are chosen for the state Court of Appeals and giving the governor more say in who sits on the bench.

The measure would abolish an attorney-dominated nominating commission that now screens applicants for the Court of Appeals and submits the names of three finalists to the governor, who makes the appointment without Senate confirmation. The bill would scrap that process, giving governors the authority to make their own appointments, subject

to Senate confirmation.

Senators gave the measure first-round approval Tuesday. The bill has already cleared the House, and Senate passage on a final vote expected today would send the bill to Gov. Sam Brownback.

The Senate previously approved a proposed constitutional amendment that would give the governor new authority to name judges to the state Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. The House has yet to take action on the amendment, which if approved by two-thirds of its members would be placed on the August 2014

primary election ballot.

Senate Vice President Jeff King said he continued to meet with members of the Kansas Bar Association about the proposed changes in hopes of finding a compromise. The bar association currently appoints five of the nine members of the nominating commission, which critics say gives too much power to one organization.

King, an Independence Republican, said any deal would still have to go before voters to be ratified because the Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection is specifically mentioned in the constitution.

WESTWOOD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In 2006, Kansas University Cancer Center staff performed fewer than 50 blood and marrow transplants for patients with blood diseases. By 2012, that number had jumped to 230.

Those figures, the results of an effort by the KU Hospital to expand the Cancer Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blood and Marrow Transplant program rapidly, were among those presented to the KU Hospital Authority Board on Tuesday by the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical director, Joseph McGuirk.

McGuirk, also a professor in the KU School of Medicine, came aboard in 2007 when that growth effort was dawning. Now, he says, the BMT program expects to have a 300-transplant year soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is unprecedented in the country,â&#x20AC;? McGuirk said of that rate of growth.

He was presenting in the wake of a record year for the program in 2012.

McGuirk credited the growth to the determination of the hospital to invest money and personnel to bulk up the program.

The Blood and Marrow Transplant program, based at the Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Care Pavilion in Westwood, gives transplants to patients with leukemia, lymphoma and other blood diseases of stem

cells that can help rebuild their immune systems.

Since 2007, McGuirk said, the program has improved its infrastructure and beefed up its research efforts through clinical trials and lab work.

About 40 percent of its patients last year were part of clinical trials, he said.

After his talk with the hospital board, he said the increase in trials would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;enormousâ&#x20AC;? in the Cancer Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to achieve comprehensive status from the National Cancer Institute.

And those trials can develop new treatments that could help save lives, he said. About 50 percent of transplant patients still die of blood disease or transplant complications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case, we cannot be sitting on our hands with our current therapies,â&#x20AC;? McGuirk said.

The program is now one of just 19 National Institutes of Health-designated core centers for blood and marrow transplant clinical trials. And the data on patient outcomes ranks among the top centers in the country, McGuirk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a very competitive group,â&#x20AC;? McGuirk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be the very best.â&#x20AC;?

Also at the hospital board meeting, the board approved a resolution commending staff for

Black smoke indicates no pope yet

By Nicole Winfield Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — This time there was no doubt.

There was no new pope yet, and the mystery of who — and when — was as thick as the unmistakable heavy black smoke billowing from the Sistine Chapel chimney.

As thousands waited in a cold night rain in St. Peter’s Square, the cardinals signaled Tuesday they had failed on their first attempt to find a leader for the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics and their troubled church.

“It’s black, it’s black, it’s waaay black!” screamed Eliza Nagle, a 21-yearold Notre Dame theology major on an exchange program in Rome, as the smoke poured from the 6-foot-high copper chimney at 7:41 p.m.

“They definitely got the color right this time,” agreed Father Andrew Gawrych, an American priest based in Rome, referring to the confusion over the smoke during the 2005 conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI. That was thanks to special smoke flares — akin to those used in soccer matches or protests — lit in the chapel ovens to make the burned ballots black, the sign that cardinals must come back for another day of voting Wednesday.

Tuesday’s drama unfolded against the backdrop of the turmoil unleashed by Benedict’s surprise resignation and the exposure of deep divisions among

CATHOLIC FAITHFUL FOLLOW A MASS taking place inside St. Peter’s Basilica for the election of a new pope, broadcast on a giant screen, not pictured, Tuesday in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican. Cardinals entered the Sistine Chapel on Tuesday to elect the next pope. cardinals grappling with whether they need a manager to clean up the Vatican’s dysfunctional bureaucracy or a pastor who can inspire Catholics at a time of waning faith and growing secularism.

Surrounded by Michelangelo’s imposing frescoes portraying the beginning and the end of the world, cardinals locked themselves into the Sistine Chapel following a final appeal for unity by their dean and set about the business of electing the 266th pope.

The 115 scarlet-robed prelates chanted the Litany of Saints, the sounds of the Gregorian chant echoing through the soaring hall as, walking twoby-two, they implored the saints to guide their voting. They then took an oath of secrecy, first collectively and then individually, as each placed his right hand on the gospel and intoned the words

in Latin accented by their native languages — English, German, French, Italian, Arabic and so on.

Then the master of liturgical ceremonies intoned the words “Extra omnes” — “everyone out” — and dozens of prelates and Vatican officials departed as the chapel’s heavy, ornately carved wooden doors swung shut.

The cardinals then proceeded with the carefully choreographed vote, each writing his choice on a piece of paper, then folding it and tipping it into an urn, to be counted by hand by three “scrutineers” who read out the results, one by one.

With no cardinal winning the required 77 votes on the first ballot, the cardinals returned to the Vatican hotel for a simple dinner of pasta with tomato sauce, soup and vegetables before another day of voting today.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable

The annual federal budget deficit is sinking out of $1 trillion-plus nosebleed territory where it has hovered for the past four years.

Government borrowing has dropped to roughly 25 cents for every dollar it spends, down from over 40 centsper-dollar spent a few years ago. Tax receipts are rising and spending is moderating.

For once, the government’s financial shape is actually improving and will get better still over the next few years as the U.S. economy continues to pull itself slowly out of the worst recession since the 1930s.

But unless a long-term legislative fix can be found, the economy will soon reverse course and start getting worse again — much worse.

The federal budget deficit will drop to $845 billion this year after topping $1 trillion for four straight years, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects.

GOP takes aim at spending plans

By Andrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Republicans redoubled their efforts to roll back signature accomplishments of President Barack Obama on Tuesday, offering a slashing budget plan that would repeal new health care subsidies and cut spending across a wide swath of programs dear to Obama and his Democratic allies.

The GOP plan was immediately rejected by the White House as an approach that “just doesn’t add up” and would harm America’s middle class.

Obama has rebuffed similar plans two years in a row and ran strongly against the ideas when winning re-election last year — when its chief author, Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, RWis., was on the Republican ticket.

Ryan’s budget illustrates the stark differences in the visions of tea party-backed Republicans and Obama and his Democratic allies about the size and role of government — with no obvious avenues for compromise.

Senate Democrats are responding with a milder plan that would repeal automatic spending cuts that began to take effect earlier this month while offering $100 billion in new spending for infrastructure and job training. The Democratic counter won’t be officially unveiled until Wednesday, but its rough outlines were described by aides. They spoke only on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to describe it publicly.

That plan by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash., would raise taxes by almost $1 trillion over a decade and cut spending by almost $1 trillion over the same period. But more half of the combined deficit savings would be used to repeal the automatic, across-theboard spending cuts that began to hit the economy earlier this month and are slated to continue through the decade.

All this was in the works as Obama trekked to the Capitol to join Senate Democrats for their weekly closed-door policy luncheon as part of his bipartisan outreach efforts to lawmakers in both House and Senate on the budget. Obama is pressing for a “grand bargain” that would attract more moderate elements from both parties — even as this week’s competing budget presentations are tailored to appeal strictly along party lines.

Obama meets with House Republicans today.

At issue is the arcane and partisan congressional budget process, which involves a unique, nonbinding measure called a budget resolution. When the process works as designed — which is rarely — budget resolutions have the potential to stake out parameters for followup legislation specifying spending and rewriting the complex U.S. tax code.

But this year’s dueling GOP and Democratic budget proposals are more about defining political differences — as if last year’s elections didn’t do enough of that — than charting a path toward a solution.

House panel OKs tax plan to rival governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AP Political Writer

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A legislative committee approved its Republican chairmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan for cutting Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sales and income taxes on Tuesday, advancing an alternative to the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal that more aggressively slashes income taxes.

The plan drafted by Rep. Richard Carlson, chairman of the powerful House Taxation Committee, would reduce individual income tax rates over the next four years only if state revenues grow by at least 2 percent each year. Republican Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal calls for cutting income tax rates each of those years regardless of state revenue.

But Carlsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal also would allow the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales tax to decrease to 5.7 percent in July, as scheduled by state law. The governor wants to keep the tax at its current 6.3 percent rate.

The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice vote sent the measure to the entire House for debate, a day before the Senate was to debate its own tax legislation. Senators are considering a bill that contains most of Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan, including his proposal to continue the sales tax rate at its current rate.

Brownback and many Republican legislators want to follow up on massive individual income tax cuts enacted last year to stimulate the economy, but they also need to stabilize the state budget.

Republican leaders in the House, including Carlson, have said they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think their chamber will support keeping the current sales-tax rate.

Carlsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan also would phase out all individual income tax deductions as tax rates decline, rather than target specific deductions for homeowners, as Brownback did. In addition, Carlson is pro-

Senators have closed meeting TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas Senate Republicans have held a private meeting on tax issues ahead of debate on Gov. Sam Brownbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to move the state toward phasing out individual income taxes.

Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce of Hutchinson told reporters before closing Tuesday eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting that GOP senators planned to discuss political strategy. He said they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want Democrats to learn of their possible tactics.

Bruce also described the meeting as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gripe session.â&#x20AC;?

The Associated Press lodged a protest. posing to divert $370 million over two years from highway projects to the rest of the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The path that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on, to me at least, is the path that is the right direction,â&#x20AC;?

Carlson said just before the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps none of us get there as fast as I want to go either, but we have to go there, I believe, in a responsible fashion.â&#x20AC;?

Brownback has said he wants to position the state to eventually phase out individual income taxes.

Many GOP legislators have endorsed that goal, and some want to eliminate corporate income taxes as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Governor Brownback has clearly stated his administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; create jobs, grow the economy, protect core services, and reduce the size of government,â&#x20AC;? spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He welcomes other ideas on how we can get to a zero state income tax and accomplish his priorities.â&#x20AC;?

More youths access Web via smartphone

By Martha Irvine Associated Press

By John Hanna

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Keep computers in a common area so you can monitor what your kids are doing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a longstanding directive for online safety â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quickly becoming moot as more young people have mobile devices, often with Internet access.

A new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project finds that 78 percent of young people, ages 12 to 17, now have cellphones. Nearly half of those are smartphones, a share thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasing steadily â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having a big effect on how, and where, many young people are accessing the Web. The survey, released today, finds that one in four young people say they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;cell-mostlyâ&#x20AC;? Internet users, a percentage that increases to about half when the phone is a smartphone.

In comparison, just 15 percent of adults said they access the Internet mostly by cellphone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just part of life

now,â&#x20AC;? says Donald Conkey, a high school sophomore in Wilmette, Ill., just north of Chicago, who is among the many teens who have smartphones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the same now when it comes to their phones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on them a lot.â&#x20AC;?

He and other teens say that if you add up all the time they spend using apps and searching for info, texting and downloading music and videos, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on their phones for at least a couple hours each day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that time is only increasing, they say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The occasional day where my phone isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charged or I leave it behind, it feels almost as though Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m naked in public,â&#x20AC;? says Michael Weller, a senior at New Trier High School, where Conkey also attends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really need to have that connection and that attachment to my phone all the time.â&#x20AC;?

According to the survey, older teen girls, ages 14 to 17, were among the most likely to say their phones were the primary way they access the Web. And while young people

in low-income households were still somewhat less likely to use the Internet, those who had phones were just as likely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and in some cases, more likely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to use their cellphones as the main way they access the Web. It means that, as this young generation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;mobile surfersâ&#x20AC;? grows and comes of age, the way corporations do business and marketers advertise will only continue to evolve, as will the way mobile devices are monitored.

Already, many smartphones have restriction menus that allow parents to block certain phone functions, or mature content. Cellphone providers have services that allow parents to see a log of their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s texts. And there are a growing number of smartphone applications that at least claim to give parents some level of control on a phoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web browser, though many tech experts agree that these applications can be hit-or-miss.

Despite the ability to monitor some phone activity, some tech and com-

munication experts question whether surveillance, alone, is the best response to the trend.

Some parents take a hard line on limits. Others, not so much, says Mary Madden, a senior researcher at Pew who coauthored the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like there are two extremes. The parents who are really locking down and monitoring everything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the ones who are throwing up their hands and saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so overwhelmed,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Madden says.

She says past research also has found that many parents hesitate to confiscate phones as punishment because they want their kids to stay in contact with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adults are still trying to work out the appropriate rules for themselves, let alone their children,â&#x20AC;?

Madden says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difficult time to be a parent.â&#x20AC;?

And a seemingly difficult time for them to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to a phone, even for kids in elementary school, where the high-tech bling has become a status symbol.

BRIEFLY Colo. lawmakers OK civil unions DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Colorado lawmakers took a historic vote to approve civil unions for gay couples Tuesday, delivering on a campaign promise from Democrats who have capitalized on the changing political landscape of a state where voters banned same-sex marriage not long ago.

The bill on its way to the desk of Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper is expected to be signed into law within two weeks, capping a three-year fight over a proposal to grant gay couples rights similar to marriage.

Applause erupted in the

Capitol as the bill won final passage on a 39-26 House vote, with two Republicans joining all Democrats to approve the measure. Several dozen people watching from the House gallery left smiling and hugging, and some wiped away tears of joy.

Once the measure is signed, Colorado will join eight states that have civil unions or similar laws. Nine states and the District of Columbia allow gay marriage.

Infant latest victim of gang violence CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 6-month-old girl became the latest innocent victim

of Chicago gang violence when a gunman ambushed her father while he was changing her diaper along a South Side street and unloaded round after round into the two of them.

Jonylah Watkins died at a hospital Tuesday after surgeons did what they could to repair the damage from the five bullets that tore through her body during Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack in Woodlawn. Her father, Jonathan Watkins, was in serious but stable condition Tuesday after receiving treatment for wounds to his buttocks and side and a graze to his face, police said.

Jonathan Watkins is a gang member with a long

criminal history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a three-year prison sentence on a weapons chargeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and there is little doubt he was the target of the attack, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference Tuesday hours after the infant died. Watkins was standing in his car door changing his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diaper around lunchtime when the gunman approached and opened fire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was obviously targeted,â&#x20AC;? McCarthy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very clear that whoever was doing this was firing at the father and exclusively at the father who happened to be sitting in a minivan with the child.â&#x20AC;?

Education lifeline Legislators are considering abolishing a higher education savings program just when it may be needed most.

O

ver the last 10 to 20 years, Kansas lawmakers have whittled away at higher education funding, until the state now provides only about 20 percent of Kansas University’s operating revenue.

To help make up for that declining support, state universities and the Kansas Board of Regents have turned to tuition to help shore up their budgets. Rising tuition, however, has increased the danger that growing numbers of Kansas residents may not be able to afford to attend any state institution of higher learning.

Now, state legislators are thinking about getting rid of a program designed to help low-income Kansas families save for their children’s post-high school education. Under the Kansas Investment in Developing Scholars program, established in 2007, the state matches funds put into education savings accounts up to $600 per year. The funds are deposited into a tax-deferred savings plan that is open to all Kansans, but families must meet income requirements to receive matching funds from the state. When their children reach college age, they will be able to use the funds to pay for expenses at any college, vocational-technical school or community college that’s eligible to receive federal student financial aid.

The K.I.D.S. program can handle up to 1,200 accounts at one time; just under 1,000 accounts currently are active.

That’s 1,000 Kansas youngsters who have a better chance of being able to pay for additional education and training after they graduate from high school.

However, if some state legislators have their way, this matching program may soon be history. During a meeting of the House General Government Budget Committee last week, legislators questioned whether the program is “a core function of government” and raised suspicions about how families might scam the program.

Although the average income for families participating in the program is $33,718 per year, legislators questioned whether they really needed the matching funds. They also worried that people might try to game the program by enrolling in college, getting the funds and then dropping out and getting a refund that would include the state’s match.

KU currently estimates it costs $18,764 a year to pay for tuition, fees, room, board and books at KU. It’s pretty hard to save that kind of money on $33,718 a year. The K.I.D.S. program also has clear restrictions about how money can be used, and, if it is not used for education purposes, the state funds will be subtracted and tax penalties will be added. It might be possible to scam the program, but it wouldn’t be easy.

Studies have shown that having any kind of savings makes it more likely that students will pursue higher education.

Those savings may become even more necessary as legislators seek to balance the state budget by cutting money from state university budgets. On Tuesday the House Appropriations Committee approved a 4 percent across-the-board reduction in Gov. Brownback’s recommended budget for higher education.

That’s a reduction of $29.2 million.

It’s hard to imagine that any of the schools could absorb such losses without turning to tuition increases — increases that many students would be unable to handle. Legislators should think long and hard before they get rid of the savings program that might mean the difference for many of those students.

Freedom to make dumb decisions Perhaps you remember when Dr. Doom conquered the world.

Or perhaps you don’t.

Sadly enough, even in this day and age, not everyone is comic book literate.

Suffice it to say, then, that back in the ‘80s, Marvel Comics published a graphic novel in which the villainous Victor Von Doom achieved his dearest goal: to rule the world. And he made it a better place, too. Famine ended, the stock market climbed, crime fell, occupying armies withdrew, racial oppression vanished. Doom turned the planet into a paradise and the only cost of his beneficence was free will. He created a device that took away the ability of human beings to decide for themselves.

When the Avengers defeated him, the world returned to rack and ruin as humanity reasserted its right to be as bleeped up as it wanted to be. The Avenger Hawkeye wondered aloud if they had done the right thing. Whereupon Captain America admonished him, “The world isn’t perfect. … But people are free to make their own choices — and that’s the way it should be.”

He could have been talking to Michael Bloomberg.

The emperor — beg par-

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

So Bloomberg is wrong, and Captain America was right. If one is not free to make one’s own bad or stupid decisions, then one is not free.” don, the mayor — of New York City was defeated Monday, not by the Avengers, but by a state Supreme Court judge, Milton Tingling, who struck down Bloomberg’s ban on the sale of extra large, non-diet soft drinks. Justice Tingling, though not known to possess superpowers, nevertheless zapped the forces of overreach. “Arbitrary and capricious,” he called the restrictions, which would have taken effect Tuesday.

But Bloomberg’s ban was more than that. It was the very definition of liberalism run amok, a good idea (people should limit their intake

of sugary soft drinks) driven headlong into the weeds of overkill, over-regulation and basic preposterousness. The resemblance to conservative extremism and its resort to unwieldy laws to govern behaviors it disapproves (did someone say transvaginal ultrasound?), is doubtless unintended, but no less real even so.

Apparently, if you send two people venturing out, one to the extreme left, and the other to the extreme right, of our political spectrum, they will end up face to face. Because the distinguishing characteristic of extreme liberalism or extreme conservatism is the extremism; itself, the fact that some people just don’t know when to quit.

Obviously, the state is sometimes obliged to impose restrictions. One shouldn’t be allowed to sell Camels to kindergartners. Or do 90 on a residential street. Or discriminate by race, creed, gender, condition or sexual orientation.

But there is a difference between those restrictions the state imposes to protect the health, welfare and property of those around us from us or defend the vulnerable from exploitation and those the state imposes to regulate behavior that is simply

unwise. The latter reflects a lack of faith in the wisdom of people, their ability, when properly informed, to make the right choice.

Yes, obesity is a crisis impacting our health, our economy and even, some have argued, our national security.

We are a lard butt nation waddling toward demise. Got it.

Yet, if Americans kicked their cigarette addiction by a public campaign that educated them to the dangers thereof, what reason do we have to believe they would not be able to kick sugary soft drinks by the same means? None.

So Bloomberg is wrong, and Captain America was right. If one is not free to make one’s own bad or stupid decisions, then one is not free. It is an abiding truth of which we seem to need constant reminders.

Perhaps you remember the axiom about eternal vigilance being the price of freedom. If so, you will not be surprised to hear that Dr. Doom, as he escaped, said he was only defeated “for now.” Or that Mayor Bloomberg has vowed to appeal.

PUBLIC FORUM

Corporate farms

Drone policy must be debated The killing by drones in Yemen of American citizens Anwar al-Awlaki, in September 2011, and his son, Abdulrahman, a few weeks later has continued to be a major issue among lawyers and constitutional scholars, and a subject of discussion and debate since the deaths were announced.

The legality of the killings became national news recently when Sen. Rand Paul mounted a 13-hour filibuster to delay the confirmation of John Brennan, President Obama’s former national security adviser, as the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Fuel was also added to this legal fire by the leak of a “summary white paper” of the legal opinion that justified the use of drones to kill American citizens who had not been tried or convicted of any crimes by an American court.

Let me be clear, from all of the information available, alAwlaki was a high level member of al-Qaida in Yemen although his son’s killing was apparently a terrible mistake and no public information connects Abdulrahman to al-Qaida or any terrorist organization.

Sen. Paul asked Attorney General Eric Holder whether the administration intended to use drones to kill Americans on U.S. soil. After some delay, the attorney general answered that there was no such intent, but whether the administration believes that it has the legal right to do so remains up in the air. It also seems fairly clear that the administration does believe that it has the right to use drones to attack and kill Americans, under certain circumstances abroad, as it did in the case of Anwar al-Awlaki.

Many lawyers — and I’m

Mike Hoeflich among them — find the administration’s position on the use of drones to kill American citizens without affording them any due process of law quite troubling because it would appear to set a very dangerous precedent never before even considered to be acceptable by the federal government. What is even more troubling is that the administration has steadfastly refused to make public all of the documents and reasoning it used to determine that these drone attacks against American citizens without any trial or conviction. Thus, it is impossible for anyone outside the current administration either to determine the precise extent of the powers that President Obama is now claiming or to make reasoned criticisms of these powers and their legal justification.

This lack of transparency and the existence of secret memoranda and opinions is troubling in itself and also because, when President Obama ran for his first term, he and his supporters were highly critical of President Bush’s use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” — what many have called torture — and the memoranda prepared by administration lawyers to provide legal justifications for these techniques.

There seems to be a bit of hypocrisy at play here. For

my own part, it seems to me that the killing of American citizens without trial is no less troubling than the use of enhanced interrogation techniques like waterboarding against terrorists. At least the terrorists survived to challenge what had been done to them.

I remember an experience I had several years after the Oklahoma City bombing.

Then-Gov. Bill Graves asked me to go to western Kansas and meet with some militia members to try to understand their grievances. So I drove out and met with several militia members in an old courthouse.

One of the first things they told me was that they feared that the day would come when black armored helicopters would fill the skies over their farms and murder them and their families. I immediately told them that was crazy, that no American government would ever kill its citizens without due process of law.

Now, I’m beginning to wonder. Except if it happens, whoever is the target won’t even have the warning of hearing a helicopter’s rotors. Instead there will just be silence, ruptured by the explosion of a Hellfire missile. I hope this never happens. But I think it is time for the Obama administration to release all of the relevant materials they used to justify the legality of drone strikes against American citizens and permit this policy to be debated openly by Congress and the American people.

— Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

To the editor: “What’s galling him is he can’t get his fingers on it!”

The “old Bailey Building & Loan” that is. If you watch Frank Capra’s “It’s A Wonderful Life” every Christmas, like we do, you’ll know the reference. Potter doesn’t just want most of it; he wants all of it. He even tries hiring George Bailey, though George turns him down.

But Sam Brownback is smarter than George Bailey; Sam took the job, he’s working for Potter. Potter doesn’t want an income tax, so Sam does away with it; he doesn’t need a home mortgage deduction, so Sam says get rid of it. Potter has no use for public schools; neither does Sam. Potter won’t make a profit off universal health care, so he doesn’t want it; Sam sides with Potter. An independent judiciary? Not for Potter or his man, Sam. Potter already owns the big banks, and the insurance companies, big oil, the Chamber of Commerce, and all that, but something keeps slipping through his fingers; he can’t get his hands on Kansas’ farmland. The law protects family farming, and it’s galling Potter. He’s told his man Sam he wants that changed, and Sam’s happy to oblige.

What’s the good for Kansas? From reading the newspaper, it even seems a few of Sam’s men in the Legislature have sniffed it, and are asking the same question. Here’s hoping Kansans figure out who Sam takes his orders from before it’s too late.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 13, 1913: YEARS “For the first AGO time the people IN 1913 of Lawrence have a chance to see a real live voting machine. Charles E. Hall brought one down from Topeka and it is on exhibition at the electric light office. This machine is a wonder in its way.

It is so complete that it is almost uncanny in its accuracy. For years the demand has been for a machine that could be operated by everybody and that would do the work in an accurate and efficient manner.”

Green, CSU perfect match

Former Lawrence High basketball coach Chris Davis made his way to Fort Collins, Colo., to watch one of his favorite former stars play for Colorado State and he didn’t have to wait to see Dorian Green to see him.

A giant image of Green, which filled a billboard with the words, “Protect the Fort,” stared down at Davis.

“My heart grew a size, right there,” Davis said.

“Boom.”

Shortly after that Davis was talking with one of the Green athletic administrative assistants and she was busy because that’s a constant state for workers in her job.

“She said, ‘Oh, you coached Dorian in high Big 12 Tournament “I learned a lot from those fun. Shoot, pass, score, reschool? We love him. We guys,” the 6-foot-4 senior said bound, defend.

The Chicago Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; star guard told reporters before practice Tuesday in Los Angeles that he can â&#x20AC;&#x153;do everything.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just me having the confidence to do it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to feel normal. When Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out there and not thinking and just

reacting, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready.â&#x20AC;?

He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll return when he feels â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? and added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a couple days, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fine.â&#x20AC;? Rose also said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no cutoff date for him to return even though there are only 19 games remaining.

The Bulls have gone 35-28 this season without the former MVP point guard. Their next game is tonight at Sacramento,

but coach Tom Thibodeau said Rose will not return against the Kings.

Rose spoke exactly 10 months after he had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. His status has been a running soap opera, but he says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s felt no pressure from the organization to return and downplayed the idea that any rift has developed.

His brother and manager Reggie Rose ripped the Bulls

for standing pat at the trade deadline in an interview with ESPNChicago.com, saying it could be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big factorâ&#x20AC;? in whether Derrick plays this season. Then, the website reported last week that Derrick Rose had been medically cleared to play but told the team he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until he can dunk with confidence off his left foot.

It all seemed to fuel the idea that the team and its star were not on the same page.

The last Big East basketball tournament as we know it hits New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage this week at Madison Square Garden.

What sports writer Dan Wetzel recently described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most honest event in college sportsâ&#x20AC;? is breaking up after a messy divorce that will separate Syracuse from Georgetown and Seton Hall from Rutgers.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like breaking peanut butter up from jelly.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault, and what a money-grubbing shame.

It means that center court for amateur basketball has shifted west as the Pac-12 becomes the fourth conference to contest its tournament in Las Vegas.

Think of this in hypocritical NCAA terms as a drive-through marriage.

The drift from New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart-and-soul to Nevadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soulless Strip underscores and overscores the recent level of drivel dribbling out of NCAA headquarters.

There is nothing inherently wrong with conducting basketball tournaments in Las Vegas; Bugsy Siegel certainly would have approved.

The Pac-12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to Vegas makes dollars and sense after years of yawns and empty seats at Staples Center. What person, outside a monastic order, would not rather go to Las Vegas than downtown Los Angeles?

The Pac-12 comes to Vegas to find it already crawling with underaged student athletes from the West Coast, Mountain West and Western Athletic conferences.

The problem here is the NCAA rails against gambling on one Texas hold â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em poker hand and, on the other, uses Las Vegas as one of its automatic-bid hubs into the NCAA Tournament.

The Pac-12 tournament is not merely contested in Las Vegas.

The players are lodged at the MGM Grand and will play at the adjacent Grand Garden Arena.

One guy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pssst... Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the line for UCLA?â&#x20AC;?

Other guy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Odds line or the ticket line?â&#x20AC;?

Las Vegas, aka Sin City, has never been allowed a sniff of an actual NCAA Tournament game, and axis-of-evil Nevada is prohibited from hosting an NCAA championship event in any sport.

Staging four tournaments within a week of NCAA Selection Sunday, well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somebody elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conference tournaments are determined by the conference and its member schools, so I recommend you contact the conferences/schools to discuss,â&#x20AC;? NCAA spokesman Emily Potter responded in an email.

So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your moral distinction: league tournaments arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t NCAA-sponsored events.

Forgotten in this disconnect from reason is that the NCAA is comprised of institutions and conferences. Technically, they are one and the same.

The NCAA, mind you, has its reasons for taking a tough anti-gambling stand. College sports, particularly basketball, have been fertile ground for corruption.

CONNECTICUTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BREANNA STEWART, LEFT, and Notre Dameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ariel Braker race to the basketball during the championship game of the Big East womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament. No. 2 Notre Dame defeated No. 3 Connecticut, 61-59, on Tuesday night in Hartford, Conn.

Earlier in the day, Notre Dame announced it would join the Atlantic Coast Conference next season, a year earlier than expected.

Notre Dame headed for ACC next season SOUTH BEND, IND. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Goodbye Madison Square Garden, Georgetown and Villanova. Hello Greensboro Coliseum, North Carolina and Duke.

A year from now, Notre Dame menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team will be preparing for the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament instead of its annual trip to New York, where the Irish are a frustrating 9-17 all-time in the Big East tournament and have never made it to the league title game.

The school announced Tuesday it is leaving the fractured Big East a year sooner than originally anticipated for the ACC in all sports except football and hockey.

The switch was approved in a vote by Big East university presidents in the wake of a split announced last week of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football schools and seven other Catholic schools that next season are forming their own basketballfocused conference with the Big East name.

The vote means Notre Dame coaches can move forward with scheduling for the 2013-14 school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It removes the uncertainty that made it hard for our coaches and athletes, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very happy to resolve that for them,â&#x20AC;? athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a telephone interview.

The move means stability for all Notre Dame sports and has some familiarity to Irish fans, with Syracuse and Pittsburgh joining the Irish in moving to the ACC next season and former Big East teams Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech already part of the ACC.

U.S. defeats Puerto Rico, 7-1 MIAMI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gio Gonzalez gave Team USA its best start yet, and David Wright provided a big finish.

Gonzalez pitched five scoreless innings and the Americans beat Puerto Rico, 7-1, in the World Baseball Classic on Tuesday night.

Wright drove in five runs, the last three with a bases-loaded double in the eighth. That prompted chants of â&#x20AC;&#x153;U-S-A! U-S-A!â&#x20AC;? from the crowd of 32,872.

The United States fell behind in all three games in the opening round, but led from the first inning against Puerto Rico. The Americans will play Thursday night against the Dominican Republic, which remained unbeaten in the WBC by rallying past Italy, 5-4, on Tuesday.

Paper rejects MLB request MIAMI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Miami New Times has rejected a request from Major League Baseball for records that the alternative newspaper obtained for a story that alleges several players received performance-enhancing drugs from a now-closed anti-aging clinic.

New Times editor Chuck Strouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to MLB commissioner Bud Selig appeared on the paperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website Tuesday.

UMKC fires coach Brown KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Missouri-Kansas City has fired basketball coach Matt Brown after six seasons and with the program poised to leave the Summit League for the Western Athletic Conference.

Brown was 64-122 with the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Roos, including an 8-24 record this season. The longtime assistant to current Michigan coach John Beilein had just one winning season in Kansas City. He had one year left on his contract. The Roosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season ended Sunday with a 69-58 loss to North Dakota State in the quarterfinals of the Summit League tournament in Sioux Falls, S.D.

INDIAN WELLS, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Top-ranked Novak Djokovic defeated Grigor Dimitrov, 7-6 (4), 6-1, to reach the fourth round at the BNP Paribas Open on Tuesday with his 20th consecutive victory.

Djokovic trailed 5-3 in the first set when the 21-year-old Bulgarian committed six double faults, including four in one game, to help the Serb force the tiebreaker. Djokovic won it on a backhand error by the youngest player remaining in the draw.

Djokovic moves on to play Sam Querrey, a 7-6 (5), 6-7 (7), 7-5 winner over Marinko Matosevic.

Lakers 106, Magic 97 ORLANDO, FLA. — Dwight Howard endured the worst reception of his NBA career on Tuesday night.

He then promptly turned in probably his best performance of this season.

Howard scored a season-high 39 points, had 16 rebounds and was sent to the free throw line 39 times by his former team as the Los Angeles Lakers beat Orlando.

The victory came in Howard’s first return to Orlando since his dramafilled offseason trade to the Lakers. He endured a chorus of boos throughout, and tied his own NBA record for free throw attempts.

The majority of them came as the Magic tried to employ an intentional foul strategy. It backfired, though, as the All-Star center hit on 16 of 20 attempts in the second half.

It silenced his detractors and more importantly, helped the Lakers secure their fourth straight victory and keep from slipping in their playoff chase.

His reception aside, Howard said he left the court still thankful for the support he got during his eight years in Orlando.

“I wasn’t nervous tonight. I was looking forward to playing here,” Howard said. “It was a hostile environment, but I think that was something that was good for me. For my progress as a player, I think I needed that tonight.”

Jameer Nelson scored 21 points, but also had six of Orlando’s 14 turnovers.

The Magic have lost three of their last four and haven’t won back-to-back games since December.

They also missed on their first season sweep of the Lakers since 2008-09.

After a week of backand-forth in the media following some perceived negative comments made about his former team during a television interview, Howard and Nelson spoke briefly just after the final buzzer and shook hands.

“Everybody’s always going to say certain things in order to start certain situations,” Howard said.

“But Jameer’s my brother.

We came in together, and I have no bad feelings toward him.”

The embrace was a light moment in what was mostly a hostile atmosphere.

Homemade signs jeering Howard with sentiments that said everything from “Coward” to “Kobe’s Kid” were sprinkled throughout the Amway Center stands.

Boos rained down on the All-Star center almost every time he touched the basketball. They were followed by louder cheers when he missed a free throw.

The intensity was also ramped up at times, too.

Howard got tangled up in a verbal back-and-forth with the Magic bench at one point during the first half, and Kobe Bryant left briefly in the first quarter, bleeding from his right eye after a collision.

“I think professionally it was really big for him,” Bryant said of Howard’s night. “Coming into this environment, playing as well as he did, it’s big for his confidence.”

The Lakers led 76-68 entering the final period and scored the first eight points of the quarter to push it out to a 16-point lead.

The Magic battled back and closed to 91-82 on a 3-pointer by E’Twaun Moore with 6 minutes to play in the game.

Timberwolves 107, Spurs 83 MINNEAPOLIS — Ricky Rubio had his first career triple-double with 21 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, leading Minnesota over San Antonio.

Rubio made 9 of 17 shots and grabbed his 10th board with 9:14 to play in the game.

Stephen Jackson had 14 points and Danny Green 10 for the Spurs, who left Tim Duncan and Kawhi Leonard at home to rest.

LOS ANGELES LAKERS’ DWIGHT HOWARD (12) TAKES A SHOT in front of Orlando Magic’s Nikola Vucevic (9) and Arron Afflalo (4) during the second half on Tuesday in Orlando, Fla. Howard scored 39 points against his former team and the Lakers won, 106-97. their lead back up to 10288 on a 3-pointer by Jodie Meeks with 2:25 left.

The Magic kept up the strategy, but Howard — who was shooting 47.8 percent before the game — hit his final eight attempts to help close out the victory.

“With any player, if you get 39 cracks at it, it’s only natural for you to gain some type of rhythm,” Magic guard Arron Afflalo said. “And he did a good job of making them down the stretch for them.”

Magic coach Jacque Vaughn defended the strategy, though.

“I think early on it was a strategy that worked for us,” he said. “If we would have made six more 3s, I probably wouldn’t have done it, but strategy-wise I need to give our guys a rest.”

Howard embraced the negative environment from the outset and was the main reason the Lakers had a 50-46 halftime lead.

He had 19 points and 10 rebounds in the opening 24 minutes, and would have had more if not for his 9-for-19 effort at the line.

Howard started just 2 for 9 from the foul line, prompting the Magic to try fouling him intentionally three times late in the second quarter. He had found his touch by then, though, hitting five of six on those occasions.

With the exception of Tobias Harris’ 15-point first half, Orlando struggled offensively. The Magic had decent looks at the basket, but shot a paltry 37 percent (17 for 46) from the field.

They were also thin in the frontcourt for most of the half with center Nik Vucevic playing only 13 minutes because of two quick fouls. He went scoreless, with just two three rebounds.

At the end of the night, Howard said he was ready to turn the page.

Big 12 tourney Elijah unpredictable

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas State and Kansas tied for the regular-season Big 12 title.

That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean they feel very good about themselves entering the league tournament.

The Wildcats lost a road game against Oklahoma State on Saturday, while the Jayhawks were routed by Baylor a few hours later in a game that would have given them the outright title.

Consider it proof that the Big 12 tournament, which starts tonight at Sprint Center, promises to be among the most intriguing and unpredictable in conference history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen the league better, with more teams that can win your league tournament, than we have now,â&#x20AC;? said the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bill Self, whose team has won five of the last seven editions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not very often you go in and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, I think that team can positively win three games in a row,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Self said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and there are six teams that can win three games in a row.â&#x20AC;?

Maybe more. Maybe even some that can win four in a row.

Seventh-seeded Texas, which is 0-6 in Big 12 tournament title games, faces league newcomer TCU on the opening night. The Longhorns have won three of their last four after a disastrous start to the season, their improved play coinciding with the return of star guard Myck Kabongo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this tournament may be the most competitive weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of team that go into it thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have to do some work,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Texas coach Rick Barnes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there. We need to win, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plain and simple, and not just one game. For us to do what we set out the year to do, we have to win the tournament.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same situation that Texas Tech and league newcomer West

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen the league better, with more teams that can win your league tournament, than we have now.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas basketball coach Bill Self

Ranked out of high school by Rivals.com as the fifth-best pointguard prospect in the nation, Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to the point has been hard to evaluate. Early on, he looked to be in control, running the offense effortlessly, getting others involved on each possession and operating with the poise and confidence of a player who had been in the program for four seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elijah has to become an extension of the coaching staff and of me,â&#x20AC;? said KU coach Bill Self at the beginning of Big 12 play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a pretty good job of doing that. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bright kid and been around a lot and played in big games, so he gets it.â&#x20AC;?

At the same time, there were moments â&#x20AC;&#x201D; stretches, even â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when Johnson disappeared and looked nothing like the coldblooded, confident gamer he was as a junior. During the down times, he was far less explosive and offensive-minded than he was during last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run to the title game. Johnson will be the first to tell you that his numbers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what he expected or even what they should be. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not numbers Johnson is worried about heading into Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2 p.m., Big 12 tournament quarterfinal against either West Virginia or Texas Tech.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wins. And leadership.

And as he tries to deliver both, he often goes back to the lessons he learned from Collins and Taylor during his first three years in Lawrence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watching Sherron,â&#x20AC;?

eford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s times where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dead tired and he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out of practice just because he wants to continue to push himself and continue to make the team better. I definitely see it.â&#x20AC;?

Asked if watching the adjustment from Johnson the scorer to Johnson the distributor had been strange, Releford dismissed the thought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what people were worried about,â&#x20AC;?

Releford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a point guard. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not supposed to look to score.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to create opportunities for others to score. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done everything heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been asked to do.â&#x20AC;?

Added red-shirt freshman Ben McLemore: â&#x20AC;&#x153;He means a lot to me. On and off the court, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a big brother to me. He talks to me a lot, gives me advice about different things I need to work on and what I need to do. Watching him and learning from him is just awesome.â&#x20AC;?

For a coach who has had nothing but clear-cut leaders at Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position since arriving at KU, Self was honest when asked to think back on his preseason assessment of the next man up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I probably didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know (if he would),â&#x20AC;? said Self regarding Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I certainly

expected (it). I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still growing into it. But I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done well. I think guys listen to him.â&#x20AC;?

Self continued: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to me: you can have a great leader thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big guy, you can have an unbelievable talker as a four man or a guy that everybody follows his lead as a three man, but still, if you were to ask any coach, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Who would you want to be your leader?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; everyone would say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want my quarterback or my point guard to be that guy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Now that the Jayhawks (26-5 overall, 14-4 Big 12) have just two guaranteed games remaining in Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, Selfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping and expecting that his point guard will take his game to another level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So much of Elijahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criticism, in my perspective, has been (because) he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made shots,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you make shots and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a true point guard, I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something people can kind of get past. Tyshawn didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make shots. Tyshawn was 0-for-21 in the NCAA Tournament or whatever and everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talking about how great he was because he put himself in the game. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Elijahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotta do the rest of the season, make sure he impacts as many possessions as he possibly can.â&#x20AC;?

Now that the heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one saddled with the responsibility of navigating last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national runner-up through the 2013 postseason, Johnson does not plan to let anything change how he attacks his final crack at living up to the standard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here, you focus on your task,â&#x20AC;?

Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not focused on what happened before you or whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna happen after you; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just trying to focus on what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to do. I have a job to do, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing.â&#x20AC;?

KU’s tight end race wide open

baseball program. In that span, the Firebirds never lost more than six games.

Though coach Mike Hill’s team finished 8-13 in 2012, he saw competitiveness in an inexperienced squad. Hill said some questions regarding the lineup remain — for now.

“I think we’re gonna need some time to get some cohesion,” the 16thyear coach said.

The Firebirds have what Hill calls “a good nucleus of position players” back: catcher Lee McMahon, first baseman Jacob Caldwell, second baseman Ryan Cantrell, shortstop Anthony Miele, third baseman Cameron Pope and outfielders Joel Spain and Joe Dineen. Caldwell, Cantrell and Miele are expected to pitch, as well, and Sam Hearnen returns as a go-to reliever.

Hill also expects varsity newcomers Ryan Bickling, an outfielder, and Dane McCullough, an infielder and pitcher, to help Free State this year.

The Firebirds open their season at 1 p.m. Monday with a home doubleheader against Warrensburg, Mo.

Boys golf As much as Free State’s boys golf team accomplished last season, this spring could be even more exciting.

The Firebirds took second at their Class 6A regional tournament and sixth at state last spring.

Now coach Matt Gudenkauf has leadership and experience to lean upon each time FSHS tees off.

“I have four of the six (golfers) from last year returning,” Gudenkauf said. “Alex Green has had a great career at Free State, and will lead our team for the last time this year before going and playing at Washburn (University) next year.”

Other than Green, who finished 11th among individuals at state as a ju-

nior, the seasoned group includes seniors Wilson Hack and Max Soto and junior Hunter Dedloff.

Sorting out the rest of the varsity rotation hasn’t been easy, with winter weather delaying the group’s course time significantly.

The FSHS season opens March 27, when the Firebirds play host to the Free State Invitational at Eagle Bend.

Boys tennis Snow on the ground kept some teams, including Free State boys tennis, from starting tryouts and practices as scheduled.

Coach Oather Strawderman finally saw the Firebirds on the courts last week and left intrigued, with newcomers playing well and returners looking even stronger.

Senior Richard Lu, part of a 10th-place state doubles team as a junior, leads FSHS. This year, he becomes the team’s No. 1 singles player.

“For Richard, it’s gonna be a good opportunity for him to see where he stacks up against the top people in the league and the regional,” Strawderman said.

While Lu is the only returning player who qualified for state in 2012, Free State has a senior-filled lineup, with Braden Clements and Miles Stevens serving as captains. Another senior, Brandon Juracek, will team with Stevens on the No. 1 doubles team. Strawderman said newcomers Aidan Dmitriev and Tucker Nickel could vie for the final varsity spots.

FSHS opens its season March 27 at Topeka High, for a quadrangular.

Girls soccer A 6A regional championship — a program first — and a 12-5-2 record made 2012 the most successful season in Free State girls soccer history. Only a state quarterfinal loss to Olathe East, which went undefeated en route to a state championship, kept the Firebirds from moving on to the final four.

With Notre Dame transfer Mike Ragone gone and four tight ends vying to snag his snaps, tight end is one of the more intriguing positions on the Kansas University football roster this spring.

While a couple of the guys battling for playing time have logged experience in the past, none of them are considered known commodities.

“It’s anybody’s time,” said KU tight ends coach Jeff Blasko.

“It’s all fair game, the depth chart is fluid and we’ll go from there.”

Jimmay Mundine is listed No. 1 at the position on KU’s pre-spring Third-year coach Kelly Barah won’t have the exact same team on the field for FSHS this season, but there is enough familiarity and continuity to keep the returning players expecting just as much from each other this spring.

“We think we are as close of a team as last year,” Barah said, “and everyone has the same goals and is working hard in the same direction to achieve them.”

Most of Free State’s midfield and defense, which helped hold eight opponents scoreless last year, are back for another run. The defense is led by Madeline Caywood, Rylee Fuerst and Olivia Hodison, while Maddie Dieker, Hadyn Hutchison and twins Abbey and Chelsea Casady control the midfield.

The Firebirds open the season March 26 at Shawnee Heights.

Girls swimming With so many key members back from last year’s FSHS girls swimming team, which finished fourth in the Sunflower League and sixth at state, coach Annette McDonald feels even more optimistic than usual this spring. In fact, the Firebirds face the only problem with which coaches don’t mind dealing: depth.

“With 40 girls on the team,” McDonald said, “it will be a challenge to give everyone a chance to swim or dive in every meet.”

A state champion in both the 50 and 100 freestyle races as a freshman, sophomore Courtney Caldwell headlines a long list of FSHS returners. Senior swimmers Morgan Miller, Rosemary Black and Emma Norwood are back, as are senior divers Annie Soderberg and Jackie Zaitz. Junior returners are Lucy SirimongkhonDyck, Kate McCurdy, Riley Koch, Olivia Loney and Bailey Watson. Caldwell’s sophomore class includes Eliza Anderson, Haley Johnson, Kat LaFever and Alexa Malik. FSHS also has incoming freshmen

depth chart. During his first couple of seasons in town, Mundine, a 6-foot2, 242-pound junior from Denison, Texas, has shown bright spots a pass catcher, but most of his opportunities have come during mop-up time. According to the coaches, something clicked for the big body in the offseason that has them excited about his potential in 2013.

“I have been very pleased with Jimmay in just about every facet since the season ended,” KU coach Charlie Weis said. “He changed his body and is in great shape. He is one of those guys that has emerged as a leader and we did not know he had that in him.”

When asked to ex-

plain what changed with Mundine during the past few months, Blasko pointed to the positive feedback he’s heard for the work he’s done.

“I think he’s a guy that feeds off the confidence,” Blasko said. “And when he plays with confidence he takes his game to another level and that’s something we’re excited about moving forward.”

Junior Trent Smiley, who played in all 12 games last season and was used primarily as a blocker, will be a non-contact player this spring because of offseason shoulder surgery and incoming freshman Ben Johnson, of nearby Basehor-Linwood High, won’t arrive on campus until June.

That leaves senior Charles Brooks and redshirt freshman Jordan Smith as Mundine’s direct competition for reps this spring. Both have a chance to work their way up the depth chart quickly, according to Blasko.

“To me, it’s fun because of the competition that it brings to the table,” Blasko said. “When things get hot and heavy and the competition arises, you really get to see a kid’s true personality.

Some kids crumble and some kids elevate their play.”

The Jayhawks ran through practice No. 4 of the spring on Tuesday and will hit the field again Thursday before taking 12 days off for spring break.

Cierra Campbell, Anna McCurdy, Syndney Sirimongkhon-Dyck, Linda Liu and Eliot Eckersley.

The Firebirds’ season begins at the Emporia Invitational — divers compete today at 4 p.m., and swimming events start Thursday at 4 p.m.

Ice expects junior Courtney Elston and sophomores Lily Ross, Emily Bermel, Kylie Cobb and Paige Corcoran, as well as freshman Emily Byers, to make an impact in their first year with the varsity.

Both Parker and Rothwell enter the season out of the lineup with shoulder injuries, but Ice said underclassmen will fill in until they return.

Free State’s season begins March 30, when it hosts Shawnee Mission South.

for the top spot at the state meet (this year),” Heffernan said.

Juniors Bailey Sullivan, Alexa Harmon-Thomas and thrower Scout Wiebe, along with sophomores Gabrielle Dabney and Kiara Clark, provide FSHS with loads of scoring punch. And Heffernan thinks freshman Claire Sanner, who transferred from Lawrence High, and sophomore Hannah Shoemaker will add to the team’s depth.

The Free State boys took eighth place at state last spring, and Heffernan said they have shown progress across the board at pre-season practices, so he thinks they could improve upon last year.

Key returning contributors include seniors TJ Cobbs, Seth Maples, Dan Krieger, Trevor Hillis and Evan Smith, junior Stan Skwarlo and freshman Ronald White.

The Firebirds open their season by hosting a quadrangular against Olathe East, North and Northwest at 3:30 p.m.

Thursday.

Softball The loss of three starters from last season won’t devastate Free State’s softball team in 2013, because coach Lee Ice has plenty of experience back on the diamond.

“As a whole, this may be the most athletic team we have put on the field over the four years I’ve been with the program,” Ice said.

Second team All-Sunflower League selections as juniors, seniors Courtney Parker and A’Liyah Rogers lead a core group that includes utility players Ariana and Summer Frantz, two-year starters Remington Samuels and Whitney Rothwell and junior pitching anchors Meredith Morris and Kaley Delg.

Track The end of the 2012 season couldn’t have gone much better for Free State’s girls track team, which followed up a regional championship by finishing runner-up at state to champion Olathe East. When the season starts Thursday, coach Steve Heffernan expects the Firebirds to pick up right where they left off “The girls have a good core of returners with state meet experience who should be able to compete

KCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trade for Smith official Athletics rally past Royals

â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Chiefs acquire San Francisco quarterback KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Chiefs finally have their new quarterback.

The Chiefs officially traded for Alex Smith on Tuesday, the first day of the new league year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and nearly two weeks after the San Francisco 49ers agreed to the deal.

All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left is for Smith to pass a physical and the paperwork to be filed with the league.

That business is expected to be finished today.

The 49ers will receive the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second-round pick, 34th overall, in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft and a conditional pick in next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft, a person familiar with the terms told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms were not disclosed.

Kansas City also agreed Tuesday to a four-year, $16 million deal with former Dolphins tight end Anthony Fasano, a three-year, $12.6 million contract with defensive tackle Mike DeVito, and a three-year deal with former Saints backup quarterback Chase Daniel.

The moves continue whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a busy offseason for the Chiefs under new general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid. Last week, they signed wide receiver Dwayne Bowe to a fiveyear, $54 million deal, punter Dustin Colquitt to a five-year, $18.75 million deal, and placed the franchise tag on left tackle Branden Albert, promising him $9.83 million for the 2013 season.

Dorsey and Reid were not available to comment on Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of this movement was from a philosophical belief that has been ingrained in me,â&#x20AC;? Dorsey

QUARTERBACK ALEX SMITH, LEFT, poses with thenNFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue after being chosen first in the 2005 NFL Draft by San Francisco.

The 49ers on Tuesday traded Smith to Kansas City. told AP in an interview last week, when asked about how quickly heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit the ground running. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning organizations,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;do moves like this.â&#x20AC;?

Under the three-year contract he signed last March, Smith is guaranteed $8.5 million for the 2013 season, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible the Chiefs will attempt to sign him to a new deal.

The Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; big spending was made possible by carving out space under the salary cap.

The new regime has released right tackle Eric Winston, wide receiver Steve Breaston and tight end Kevin Boss, and restructured the mammoth contract of defensive end Tyson Jackson. The

Chiefs are also expected to release incumbent quarterback Matt Cassel in the coming days.

The poor play of Cassel, who has two years left on a six-year, $63 million deal, is one of the reasons the Chiefs went 2-14 last year and have the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, and why the new front office targeted Smith in the days and weeks after their arrival.

Smith had eight up-anddown years with the 49ers, but thrived under coach Jim Harbaugh. He went 13-3 as the starter two years ago, and was 6-2 at the midway point this past season, completing 18 of 19 passes with three TDs in a Monday night win over Arizona on Oct. 29.

He then sustained a

concussion in the second quarter of a 24-24 tie against St. Louis on Nov. 11, saying later he threw a touchdown pass with blurry vision. Smith sat out the next game, Colin Kaepernick dazzled in his debut as an NFL starter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Smith never started again.

Kaepernick led the 49ers to the Super Bowl, and Smith became expendable.

Smith approached the delicate situation with grace, and said in response to questions about it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like the only thing I did to lose my job was get a concussion.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to thank Alex for his contributions to the 49ers organization over the past eight years,â&#x20AC;?

49ers GM Trent Baalke said in a statement Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a true professional who represented the 49ers with class on and off the field.â&#x20AC;?

Smith will try to settle a Chiefs quarterback situation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been shaky for years. After leading Kansas City to the playoffs in 2010, Cassel struggled to perform at the same level.

He injured a hand in 2011, forcing Tyler Palko and Kyle Orton to finish out the year, and a head injury this past season cleared the way for Brady Quinn to step in.

Quinn fared little better in eight games and became a free agent.

The only other quarterbacks on the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roster were former fifth-round draft pick Ricky Stanzi and journeyman Alex Tanney, so Dorsey and Reid targeted Daniel to provide some depth.

Daniel has spent the past three years backing up Drew Brees in New Orleans.

PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tommy Milone had a successful rookie season, and then started off spring training with five scoreless innings in two starts. Still, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treating camp as if he needs to earn a spot in the Athleticsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rotation.

Milone allowed six hits and three runs in 3 2/3 innings, but the bullpen shut down the hot-hitting Kansas City Royals on Tuesday for a 6-3 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was trying to get ready for the season (last year), regardless of my spot, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing the same thing this year,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Miloneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spot on the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff is secure after going 13-10 in a team-leading 31 starts as a rookie last year.

Miloneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoreless streak ended when the Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Alex Gordon homered to lead off the game.

Gordon had two hits to raise his average to .536 for spring training. The homer was his third. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was all right. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it was that bad, but it could have gone better. You have to be ready for situations like that,â&#x20AC;?

Milone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Royals are a good-hitting team, very aggressive. I throw a lot of strikes and they know that.â&#x20AC;?

Oakland, however, rallied against James Shields, who had a scoreless streak of his own snapped.

Shields hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed a run in his first two starts with the Royals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four innings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but he was touched for six hits and four runs in 4 2/3 innings.

He did strike out six without walking a batter.

Eric Sogard had a tiebreaking double in the fifth inning off Shields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first few innings were really good. I was putting the ball where

Falcons TE postpones retirement FLOWERY BRANCH, GA. (AP) — The Falcons have some big holes at the start of free agency. Tight end isn’t one of them.

Tony Gonzalez announced Tuesday he is returning for another year after his near-retirement, a move that has coach Mike Smith smiling.

“I can assure you we’re a lot better football team this afternoon than we were this morning,” Smith said soon after Gonzalez announced on his Twitter feed he will return to the Falcons for the 2013 season.

Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said the new contract for Gonzalez “is not done but it will be done quickly.”

Gonzalez decided “to give it one more shot” after talking with his family.

“Being part of such a great team and organization was too much to pass up,” Gonzalez said in a statement released by the team. “I would also like to say thank you to all of the fans for their support over the last several weeks.”

Gonzalez said during the season he was 95 percent sure he would retire after the 2012 season. His productive season made it difficult to stick with the retirement plan.

The future Hall of Famer, who turned 37 last month, led the Falcons with 93 catches for 930 yards and eight touchdowns. Each total set a high for his four seasons in Atlanta. He added 14 catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns in the team’s two playoff games.

“I know Tony had said he was 95 percent as the season started,” Smith said. “We were holding

“Tony has been an integral part of our football teams for the last four years and we’re just glad we have him back. Free agency opened what, 35 seconds ago? We got a good jump on it.”

The announcement by Gonzalez drew quick approval from quarterback Matt Ryan, who tweeted “Welcome back.”

Dimitroff said the decision from Gonzalez allows the team to resume efforts to bring back more of its free agents.

Among the players who became free agents on Tuesday are left tackle Sam Baker, cornerbacks Brent Grimes and Christopher Owens, defensive tackle Vance Walker, fullback Mike Cox and defensive end Lawrence Sidbury.

Buffalo releases starting quarterback Fitzpatrick The Baltimore Ravens are paying the price for winning a Super Bowl.

The NFL champions lost two key components of their defense, linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe, as free agency began Tuesday. On Monday, they traded star receiver Anquan Boldin, a key to their title run, to San Francisco — the team the Ravens beat, 34-31, to win the championship.

Kruger went north to division rival Cleveland for a five-year, $40 million deal, while Ellerbe headed south to Miami for $35 million over five years. Steelers receiver Mike Wallace joined Ellerbe in choosing the Dolphins.

The 49ers didn’t go untouched, either. After giving up a sixth-round draft pick for Boldin, they saw tight end Delanie Walker leave for Tennessee.

The 32-year-old Boldin expressed surprise that he was traded.

“I thought this was the last stop of my career but regardless of the circumstances I came here to win a Championship ... and in February we came home Champions,” he said on Twitter.

Ellerbe also tweeted as he moved on to the Dolphins.

“Just wanna take time to THANK GOD for being in this position I’m in! Before I make da BIGGEST DECISION in my life I just wanna thank him!!!”

Ellerbe said.

Kruger led the Ravens with nine sacks and added 2 1/2 in the playoffs and two in the Super Bowl. But he was too expensive for Baltimore to keep. Wallace will give Miami the speedy receiver it has sought after getting just three touchdown catches from its wideouts last season.

Denver ensured that Peyton Manning will be the Broncos’ quarterback through at least 2014.

The four-time MVP’s contract called for a guaranteed salary of $20 million in 2013 and 2014 if he was on the Denver roster Tuesday. The final two years of his contract are worth $19 million each, but are not guaranteed.

Coming off multiple neck operations, Manning threw for 4,659 yards and 37 touchdowns last season and was the NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

He turns 37 on March 24.

Teams also made cuts Tuesday. The biggest were Ryan Fitzpatrick in Buffalo and Nnamdi Asomugha in Philadelphia.

The Bills’ starting quarterback was released 1 1/2 years after getting a sixyear, $59 million contract extension.

Fitzpatrick struggled after signing the new deal, and the Bills went 6-10 in 2011 and in 2012.

Buffalo has not made the playoffs since 1999, the longest active streak in the NFL. For now, the Bills’ No. 1 quarterback is Tarvaris Jackson.

Bills general manager Buddy Nix said: “Difficult decisions often have to be made and so we are moving forward. Our focus remains on adding another quarterback to our roster and we will continue to explore every option available to us.”

Philadelphia released cornerback Asomugha, who two years ago got a five-year, $60 million contract with $24 million guaranteed when he left Oakland as a free agent.

Asomugha was a flop in Philly, often victimized in single coverage.

Asomugha was scheduled to make $15 million next season, with $4 million guaranteed.

Getting beyond the pint of green beer on St. Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

By Alison Ladman Associated Press

Juice of 1 orange Juice of 1 lime 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger 2 teaspoons honey 2 sprigs fresh mint, leaves only 2 large basil leaves 1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey In a blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour into a cocktail glass with a couple of ice cubes.

Can we all just agree that unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a frat boy (or girl), green beer belongs nowhere near your lips on St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day? Because there really are so many other ways to celebrate the holiday, not to mention far more appealing methods of sipping a green beverage.

To prove our point, we created three delicious alternatives to green beer.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Vertical tastingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shows variety of wine from year to year

By Fred Tasker McClatchy Tribune

Many wine fans believe Californiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weather is so consistently warm and sunny that its wines vary little by vintage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true,â&#x20AC;? said Mark DeVere, a master of wine representing the Robert Mondavi Winery at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival in Miami Beach in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can get our grapes ripe every year, unlike Europe, which is colder,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But there are still differences in the years. The fruit might be up one year, the acid the next.â&#x20AC;?

DeVere demonstrated some of the differences at a seminar sponsored

by Wine Spectator magazine at the festival. It was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;verticalâ&#x20AC;? tasting, featuring the Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve from Napa Valley from the years 1985, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2006 and 2009.

It was an extraordinary event, with some wines that today can be found only at the winery, or in private collectorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cellars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a treat for me too,â&#x20AC;? said DeVere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to do a vertical like this very often.â&#x20AC;?

Mondavi wines were a good choice for the demonstration, since the winery has been around since Mondavi founded it in 1966.

The oldest wine in the vertical tasting, the 1985, was losing its vibrant purple color, but retained

lively fruit flavors as well as more resolved, complex flavors like leather and earth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get these flavors in a young wine, DeVere said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come only through age. Mondavi wanted gentle wines, with layers of flavor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with power, but not an assault on the palate.â&#x20AC;?

The youngest wine, the 2009 current release in wine shops, was so powerful that DeVere quipped: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as youthful as you can decently serve.â&#x20AC;?

(The 2009 reserve cabernet sauvignon is on sale in shops nationwide for $135. Some of the older vintages can be found at auction, or by visiting the winery in Oakville, Calif., a spokeswoman said. The older vintages would sell for $165, she said.)

Vertical Tasting of Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve:

1985 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: color turning to mahogany, wide clear rim, aromas of dried roses, still lively flavors of black raspberries, cocoa, earth and leather, with delicate, resolving tannins and acids, sweet finish; overall, a complex wine.

1994 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: more youthful, darker hue, with aromas and riper flavors of blackberries and milk chocolate. Said DeVere: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This shows an important evolution in winemaking. By this time it was the wine-

maker, not the vineyard manager, who decided when to pick. There was more interest in the vineyard, and the wines became more subtle. The 1985 was more of an Old World style, with more acid.â&#x20AC;?

1998 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: Dark hue, with delicate black plum and cinnamon flavors, powerful tannins and a long finish. De Vere: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This (was a) cold year, and it was hard to get the grapes ripe.â&#x20AC;?

2000 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: darker hue, intense black raspberry and black plum flavors, with hints of mocha and powerful tannins. DeVere: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was not a great year, but we were among the vineyards that picked before the rains came.â&#x20AC;?

2006 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: ultra-dark hue, bursting with black raspberries and bittersweet chocolate, big but ripe tannins, youthful and concentrated. DeVere: â&#x20AC;&#x153;By this time Mondavi was using its new fermentation facility, with oak fermentation tanks that softened the tannins but kept the powerful fruit.â&#x20AC;?

2009 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Napa Valley, Calif.: Deep, dark hue, powerful aromas and flavors of black plums, spice and mocha, ripe tannins and powerful acids.

TRADITIONAL IRISH COFFEE IS A DRINK THAT’S ESPECIALLY POPULAR AROUND ST. PATRICK’S DAY, but good any time you want to add some zing to your caffeine.

Perk up St. Pat’s Day with Irish coffee

By Michelle Locke

.

Associated Press

Coffee, Irish whiskey and cream.

Taken separately they’re a tasty trio. But combined just the right way and in just the right proportions and they get even better, transforming into a drink that can perk up the grayest day.

We’re talking Irish coffee, of course, a drink that’s especially popular around St. Patrick’s Day, but good any time you want to add some zing to n your caffeine.

The secret, says Larry Silva, general manager of e the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco — which serves up 2,000 Irish coffees a day — is how you put the drink together.

At the Buena Vista — the original source of the drink in the U.S. — Irish coffee starts with a stemmed, 6-ounce glass that’s been preheated with hot water. And both of those elements are critical. A bigger or smaller glass would throw off the coffeebooze balance. A cold

glass results in a tepid cocktail. There was a bit of a hitch a few years back when Libbey Glass stopped making the type the Buena Vista uses.

Silva had to scramble to find another source but, happily, Libbey has since reinstated the product.

For a touch of sweetness, the Buena Vista recipe adds two cubes of sugar, though other recipes call for brown sugar.

The cream, meanwhile, should be fresh and just slightly whipped — nothing from an aerosol can.

As for the whiskey, the Buena Vista is currently using Tullamore Dew. In general, what you are seeking is a smooth whiskey that won’t fight with the other flavors, says Silva. This isn’t the time to pull out that peaty Scotch. But don’t be afraid to use something good.

“Using a premium spirit elevates any cocktail,” says John Concannon, a California vintner who has teamed with Ireland’s Cooley Distillery to develop Concannon Irish Whiskey, which also

makes a good Irish coffee.

The whiskey, made and aged in Ireland, is matured in bourbon barrels, then finished off with some time in wine barrels that have been used to age Concannon Vineyard’s flagship petite sirah wine. “Because of the unique barrel finishing in the distilling process, Concannon has a complexity and character all its own, making for a one-of-a-kind Irish coffee experience,” Concannon said via email.

Looking to brew a little Irish cheer yourself this St. Patrick’s Day? Try this classic recipe, or the chocolate-laced variation.

Start to finish: 5 minutes Servings: 1 Boiling water Hot coffee 2 sugar cubes or 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1 1/2 ounces Irish whiskey 1/4 cup heavy or whipping cream, lightly beaten (but still pourable) Fill a large coffee cup with boiling water to preheat it.

Fill the glass three-quarters full with hot coffee.

over vanilla ice cream.

She sometimes uses it for the contrast of bitter and sweet, but also exploits its notes of coffee and chocolate to layer flavors. Exhibit No. 1? Her stout float with chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup and Kahlua.

“It’s building the flavors,” says Medrich, author most recently of “Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts” (Artisan, 2012).

“There’s a lot of chocolate-coffee-malty things going on in the Guinness.

The Kahlua picks up on the coffee notes in the Guinness. So everything’s working together.”

Carbonation makes beer a natural friend of salty, fatty cheese, says Janet Fletcher, author of the upcoming “Cheese & Beer” (Andrews McMeel, April 2013). Stout, in particular, she says, offers elements of caramel that complement varieties such as Gouda, and creaminess that boosts triple-cream cheeses.

That creaminess also makes it a good match for mild blue cheeses, Fletcher says, such as Ireland’s soft, supple Cashel Blue.

And though she says she prefers hoppier beers with cheddar, she admires the historic pairing.

“It’s been the cornerstone of many a pub lunch for centuries,” she says.

“There’s the pleasure of knowing you’re having a classic.”

The possibilities are seemingly endless. In its “100 ways to cook.” col-

Caramelized onion and Guinness dip umn, the food blog Endless Simmer showcased recipes such as onion soup with a Guinness-based broth, mashed potatoes with Guinness gravy and even Guinness lasagna.

“In recent years people are cooking a lot more creatively with Guinness than they used to,” says the site’s editor Brendan Spiegel, pointing to the lasagna — which incorporated Guinness into a salsa verde topping — as the funkiest recipe. “I don’t know what it wouldn’t go with.

It’s definitely a wintery flavor, which is why it works for St. Patrick’s Day. You wouldn’t mix it with fruit or something you’re trying to make light and summery.

It’s for hearty cuisine.”

might be health nut, but I’m not crazy.

I know some of you are going to roll your eyes at my upcoming suggestion to try to include as many green foods in your diet as possible on St. Patrick’s Day. Yeah, I know it’s all about green beer, and that’s that. But you can’t just have green beer all day. Well, maybe you can, but you’ll feel a bit green if you do.

Here’s my suggestion: Try to fit in a few extra green things on Sunday.

Even if you do OD on green beer, you can at least feel like you didn’t lose a whole day’s worth of healthy eating. It’s all about balance, people.

Balance your green beer (or pancakes, cupcakes, cookies, and whatever the heck else green dye ends up in) with some things that are naturally the right hue, and you might not feel half bad coming Monday.

Your head still might pound if you went overboard on the green beverages, but at least you’ll know you made an effort.

If green beer isn’t your thing and/or you have kids, maybe make a game out of eating as many green things as you can on Sunday. That will probably work with kids and adults, and maybe start a habit or two.

The following are just a few suggestions of pretty green things to try out Sunday (or anytime).

They’re mean, they’re green and they’re super good for you.

Brussels sprouts: It’s pretty obvious from both this column and my space in Delicious/Nutritious that I’ve been crushing pretty hard on these little guys. They’re just so wonderful roasted with a hint of salt, pepper and garlic and a little crisp on them (which is saying a lot because I hate my food blackened). If you haven’t tried these little guys, give them a go. If you don’t like them, just do a green beer chaser and you’ll be just fine.

Spinach: I buy a giant tub of baby spinach every week. It’s so perfect for adding “something” green to nearly any meal because it’s so mild and forgiving. Throw it in your morning smoothie (only the color will

Frank’s Chicken 4 boneless chicken breasts 1 cup mayonnaise 1/2 cup Frank’s Red Hot 1/4 of a red onion Small handful of fresh cilantro leaves Lay the chicken in a smallish casserole, give a light coating of salt and pepper.

Sarah Henning change, it’ll taste the same — promise), use it as a bed for roasted veggies, beans, meat or other more “dense” foods, add it to the top of a homemade pizza (seriously), and you can even juice it, should be so inclined.

Avocado: This green, unsweet fruit is full of fabulous monounsaturated fats, plus vitamin C and 9 grams of fiber (for a whole avocado).

Use a quarter or half of an avocado to jazz up a smoothie, salad, sandwich or pretty much whatever.

I probably don’t have to tell you what an awesome fruit it is.

Kale: Everyone knows kale is my food BFF. It’s nutritional profile is excellent, and though it’s an acquired taste, once you’ve acquired it, you’re golden. The tough leaves need a little aid, so saute them, make kale chips, or “massage” ripped up leaves with avocado, salt, pepper and lemon juice to use as the base of a salad.

If you’ve already discovered the joy of kale and are used to the taste, try it in your next smoothie or juice. It’s not nearly as mild as spinach, but it’s a good nutritional kick in the pants.

Green kombucha: This is kind of a cheat. There’s only one or two kinds of kombucha that are green, so it’s OK if you try one that isn’t green. What you’ll find in kombucha of any color are strains of bacteria similar to those in yogurt (aka the good bacteria that makes your gut happy), plus copious amounts of B vitamins and folate. So, what’s in the green version? Super food water-loving plants blue-green algae, spirulina and chlorella. Sounds fishy, tastes good.

— Check out Sarah Henning’s Eat Your Vegetables blog at Lawrence.com.

In a food processor, blend together the mayo, Frank’s, onion and cilantro.

Pour the mixture over the chicken and marinate for 20 minutes to an hour.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees (with your mac and cheese — perfect timing).

Go ahead and make a salad or some beans — your plate is gonna be pretty orange so a green vegetable might be in order.

y sister says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;like a noodle kugel, only not sweet.â&#x20AC;? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. This savory noodle kugel is the best version of mac and cheese I have ever made.

And I have made a lot of versions. I have been on this quest for many years.

And I have arrived.

With my sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouragement, I went back to my mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mac and cheese, only I, again at my sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouragement, made a few key changes.

This is a case where I have determined that more is definitely more. I added more cheese. More kinds of cheese. I added more butter, more eggs and a little more milk. It worked.

You see, my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mac and cheese does not rely on any kind of white sauce. It is, simply put, a savory noodle kugel. I quit making it for years because I thought I liked the more creamy â&#x20AC;&#x153;restaurant-styleâ&#x20AC;? mac and cheese better, and my husband never seemed to get used to the custard-y version Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d grown up with.

But my sister came to town when the baby was born and she whipped up mac and cheese one night and righted all my wrongs. She said it was a case of needing more eggy custard to keep it from getting dry.

She was totally right.

I went a step further and added big hunks of smoked Gouda. This was the crowning glory. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fast, easy and impressive dish. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful and rich and soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside, much like myself.

Smoky, Savory Noodle Kugel (Mamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mac and Cheese Plus)

THE FLYING FORK

by Megan Stuke 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar 4 ounces smoked Gouda 3/4 cup milk 3 eggs 2 tablespoons butter Salt and pepper to taste Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and bring your water to a boil.

In a medium bowl, whisk together three eggs, the milk, and a dash of salt and pepper.

Boil your noodles to al dente. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overcook them.

While they cook, prepare a smallish (maybe 9 x 11) casserole dish by spreading with butter or cooking spray.

Cut your Gouda into 1/2 inch cubes and grate your cheddar. I like this varied approach to the cheese.

The cheddar is â&#x20AC;&#x153;everywhereâ&#x20AC;? while the Gouda is in luscious pockets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; little surprises of creamy flavor.

Cut your butter into smallish cubes as well.

Dump the drained pasta into the casserole and then dot with the butter, Gouda and cheddar. Add a dash of salt and pepper and give it all a stir so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evenly distributed. Then pour the egg/milk mixture over and bake for 20 minutes.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it!

I served this with some chicken Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d baked in a spicy marinade. I think, for some reason, that mac and cheese is always wellaccompanied by something with some kick.

IRISH CHOP SUEY IS ONE OF MANY WAYS to incorporate Guinness into a recipe.

Stout not just for pint glasses anymore

By Michele Kayal Associated Press

On a normal day, thirsty revelers easily drain two kegs of Guinness at Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Rose tavern. Come St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an official holiday in Bean Town â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll plow through 55 kegs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty crazy over there,â&#x20AC;? says Keenan Langlois, corporate chef for The Black Rose and the seven other restaurants in Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Glynn Hospitality Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People start early and spend all day there.â&#x20AC;?

And these days, not all of that Guinness is

going down parched gullets. With what he says is the largest Guinness account in the state of Massachusetts, Langlois figured it was time to use it as an ingredient in food, too.

His Black Rose burger stacks prime beef with Irish bacon, shredded cabbage and Guinnessspiked ketchup. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not alone.

Chefs have long known that the hearty Irish stout, brewed in Dublin since 1759, can add complexity to stews, soups, dips and even desserts. They use its bitterness and toasty malt flavor to offset rich,

fatty meats, and echo its notes of chocolate and coffee in cakes and ice cream. Its creaminess offers a great platform for cheese, they say, especially Irish blues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a rich spectrum of uses,â&#x20AC;? says Paul Hartley, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guinness: An Official Celebration of 250 Remarkable Yearsâ&#x20AC;? (Hamlyn, 2009). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this rounded velvety feel and it fuses with all the right things. Like oysters and blue cheese and chocolate. From time to time, I marinate chicken in Guinness and lime and grill it. It brings all that to life.â&#x20AC;?

Hartleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of the perfect St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day starts with Guinnessmarinated Irish bacon, moves on to crepes with Guinness-poached mushrooms for lunch, and ends with a dinner of Irish â&#x20AC;&#x153;beef cobbler,â&#x20AC;? that is, Guinnessbraised beef served with scones.

Pastry chef Alice Medrich would add dessert. Medrich has laced Guinness through chocolate cupcakes, reduced it to a syrupy essence, concocted creamy, eggyolk-based ice cream from it and made Guinness granita to scrape

‘Neighbors’ musical defies logic The musical episode: a sign of confidence or the kiss of death?

It’s not like “The Neighbors” (7:30 p.m., ABC) wasn’t already a tad over-the-top. A tale of two New Yorkers, Marty and Debbie Weaver (Lenny Venito and Jami Gertz), who are stranded in a sterile New Jersey subdivision populated by aliens trying to pass themselves off as hyper“normal” Americans. The visitors have even adapted names from the sports pages — Larry Bird (Simon Templeman) and Jackie Joyner-Kersee (Toks Olagundoye).

This sitcom has always sacrificed logic and consistency on the altar of cute one-liners. So why should the musical episode be any different? As the action begins, Larry and Jackie beg their neighbors and alltoo-human minders to take them to a Broadway musical. But Marty and Debbie are cranky. So the disappointed alien couple, feeling a bit frisky, decides to bolt the ’burbs and walk to the Big Apple and take in a show.

Larry and Jackie return deliriously happy and inspired by their first time experiencing the musical comedy genre. This is where the coy production numbers begin and consistency goes out the window. They’ve never seen a Broadway musical, but their homemade version is filled with knowing and snide wisecracks about Fox’s “Glee” and “American Idol.” Apparently it never occurred to them to watch a DVD of “High School Musical” or “Guys and Dolls.” Sorry to sound like Spock on a bad day, but that’s simply not logical — or terribly funny.

Tonight’s other highlights:

Whitney and Alex’s honeymoon getaway features a surprise guest on “Whitney” (7 p.m., NBC).

A repeat (7:30 p.m.) follows.

A new case seems familiar on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (8 p.m., NBC).

Manny’s plans don’t include his own birthday party on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

“NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS) explores personalized medicine based on a patient’s genetic code.

Russell’s son becomes a suspect on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

Juliette embraces her new image with a vengeance on “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC).

A mission reunites Philip with an old lover, further alienating Elizabeth from their arranged marriage, on “The Americans” (9 p.m., FX).

Dear Annie: My husband has a frequent customer card for a local restaurant. Over time, he accumulated a credit of $40. We recently went to this restaurant with another couple.

When the bill arrived, my husband took out his card and told the other couple they owed half of the bill, including the tip, and that he would apply his $40 credit to the remainder.

I was uncomfortable with this. I felt he should have saved his credit for a time when we were dining alone. What do you think? — Embarrassed

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, March 13: This year you might consider making a change in your professional life or opt for a new career.

The reason might be irrelevant, but your decision will not be. If you are single, serendipity could come into play. If you are attached, you and your sweetie will become more visible to others this year.

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) A relationship is changing, and as a result, its significance to you also will change. Before discussing your opinions on this matter, think carefully about what lies ahead. Tonight: Kick back.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Someone quite close to you might be transforming right in front of your eyes. Remember, change is an ongoing process. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20) A matter involving your daily life is changing. You could have difficulty approaching someone from a new perspective. Tonight: Enjoy the here and now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Children could be on your mind, or you just might be yearning to be more playful. Allow your inner rascal to come out, and make the most of this fun moment. Tonight: Let the fun times begin.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Whatever happens, you will walk away with a new perspective. Dealing with an associate could be touchy, as this person is not as flexible as you are. Tonight: Be imaginative.

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

PINK OF PERFECTION By Ellie Kush

3/13

Dear Embarrassed: If the other couple were close friends or family members, they may not have cared about this.

However, a less familiar set of friends might have found it a bit gauche for your husband to flaunt that his bill was going to be $40 less than theirs.

So, yes, we agree it would have been better to use the credit when you were alone, unless he intended to use it to treat his friends to part of their meal.

Your dreams are a resource for giving life cues. Consider starting a dream notebook, or put a recording device right beside your bed. Tonight: Go with someone else’s suggestion.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You often feel contradictory when dealing with a partner.

Stay calm. You might want to change how you approach this person. Tonight: Your treat.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay open to new possibilities. Realize that you might not be seeing the big picture right now.

Tonight: Make some fun plans for the weekend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A risk could be ill-advised, especially if it involves your finances and/or security. Take your creativity in a different direction. Tonight: Midweek fun!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Sometimes others react strangely to you. Perhaps this is the result of your personal transformation. Tonight: Hang out with a favorite person.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You notice a change with a boss. Nothing you can do will root out what is going on before someone is ready to spill the beans. Tonight: Get together with friends for a little gossip and some munchies.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be making a big deal out of nothing. Don’t be so uptight about your finances or about someone asking for help.

Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert, and stay close to home.

Dear Annie: I don’t know how much longer I can handle my daughter and her family living in our home. Five years ago, they came here intending to stay “a few months.”

My husband is ill, and he is extremely uncomfortable having no privacy and being limited to our bedroom for days at a time. I try to be kind, but I am still grieving the loss of my son to cancer. My son-in-law doesn’t even pretend to make an effort to find a place anymore. And he does not help us around the house or contribute to the bills.

How do I get them out without hurting my daughter and granddaughter? I don’t want to lie to them, but I’m beginning to despise my son-in-law. — Losing Hope
