Key parts of Brownback’s tax overhaul rejected

‘It’s art in random places’

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The Kansas Senate on Tuesday gave preliminary approval to proposed tax cuts after rejecting major portions of Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax overhaul.

“There may be enough of this carcass left,” said state Sen. Les Donovan, R-Wichita, who touted Brownback’s plan but then saw There may amendments approved be enough of that dismantled it.

Brownback, a Repub- this carcass lican, has proposed re- left.” ducing income tax rates and eliminating taxes for thousands of businesses. — State Sen. Les To offset those cuts, he Donovan, R-Wichita wants to keep the state sales tax at 6.3 percent.

But the Senate voted 29-11 to drop the sales tax to 5.7 percent next year, as current law requires.

Brownback’s plan would also eliminate many popular tax deductions, such as mortgage interest and charitable contributions.

But the Senate voted 21-19 to put those and numerous other deductions back in.

Supporters of Brownback’s plan said the amendments passed by a bipartisan group were designed to kill the governor’s proposal.

“It’s disgraceful,” said state Sen. Julia Lynn,

HELEN HENRY, RIGHT, BLOWS ON HER FLYING SQUID to dry the glue-attached eyeballs as she and Molly Kelly participate in a spring break guerilla art workshop Tuesday at the Lawrence Arts Center.

Kids will use public locations as canvas for colorful creations

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

On a small, red rock, 10-year-old Zianna Baumgartner painted a face with a mustache and glasses.

But where this unique piece of art would be displayed had yet to be determined.

“I was thinking of maybe in a tree, so it’s looking down at you,” Zianna said.

Welcome to the world of guerilla art, where public spaces are the canvas.

Zianna is one of the 20 children participating in the guerilla art camp being taught at the Lawrence Arts Center this week. On Tuesday morning, students

were painting rocks, coloring decals and building “flying squids.” All the objects were destined for the outside environment, where they are meant to draw smiles and second looks from those passing by.

“It’s art in random places,” 8-year-old Jonah Kim said of guerilla art.

Those places could be

trees, alleyways or even puddles. His classmates went on to describe it as a way to make a boring place more interesting, beautiful and cheerful.

On Tuesday, Jonah was in the process of creating a flying squid, a toy constructed out of a nylon Please see ART, page 2A

Lecompton officials resign over building debate Council members ‘just tired’ of threats, name-calling and general lack of civility

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A debate over an old high school has led to the resignation of two Lecompton City Council members.

Lecompton City Council members Jennifer Smith and Christy Mallonee both told fellow council members at a Monday evening meeting that they were resigning from the council immediately.

“I have been on the council for four years, and during

that time I have had people physically threaten me, call me names, and I’m just tired of it,” said Smith, who works for the Douglas County Extension Service and also writes a gardening column for the Journal-World.

The acrimony, however, has intensified recently as community leaders have struggled to determine what should be done with the old Richard Gwin/Journal-World Photo Lecompton High School THE FATE OF THE OLD LECOMPTON HIGH SCHOOL is the center building. of a heated controversy that has led to the resignation of two Please see LECOMPTON, page 2A Lecompton City Council members.

TOPEKA — Gamblers at state-owned casinos in Kansas would help prop up the pension system for teachers and government workers with each hand of blackjack and spin of the roulette wheel under a bill approved Tuesday by the state House.

The measure, approved 9233, is aimed at boosting the long-term financial health of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System. It would dedicate future revenues from three state-owned casinos to helping close a projected $8.3 billion gap between the pension system’s anticipated

stocking, filled with plastic grocery bags and tied with ribbons. The toys were going to be flung throughout Lawrence with a note attached asking that people play with them.

“I hope (people) think, ‘Who did this and where did it come from?’” 8-yearold Hobson Herlihy said of the work.

Part of the allure of guerilla art is that it is free and accessible to everyone, said Jessica Conner, who is the studio director at the arts center and one of the teachers of the class.

“Art doesn’t need to be stuffed into a white box,” Conner said. “I also want kids to know they can go out and make a difference. ... If they make something silly or cool and place it somewhere to find, they may never know who the person is (who finds it). But it may have made someone smile and made their day a little better.”

The concept of guerilla art has become more mainstream in recent

years partly due to the Oscar-nominated film “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” which focused on the international street art scene. The director of the film is Banksy, an anonymous English graffiti artist whose work has popped up on public surfaces from New Orleans to Jerusalem. Much of his art is satirical and comes with political undertones.

The class won’t exactly turn out the next generation of Banksys.

At the start of the class, the teachers established ground rules. For starters, the art must be temporary, which would prohibit spray paint, and should be displayed on public, not private, property.

“It has to be able to revert back to its original state,” Conner said.

The class is using chalk, glues and paints that will wash away after a couple of rains. In the next couple of days, the students will begin to scatter their guerilla art throughout the Kansas University campus and downtown.

“Keep an eye out,” Conner said. “You never know what you’ll find.”

Gag order denied in military school lawsuit KANSAS CITY, KAN. — A federal judge declined Tuesday to impose a gag order in a lawsuit accusing a Kansas military school of allowing older students to discipline younger ones and fostering a culture of abuse.

Lawyers for St. John’s Military School had sought to bar parties involved in the case from talking COURTS publicly after an attorney for the plaintiffs granted media interviews soon after filing the lawsuit this month. The plaintiffs, the parents of four former cadets, had called the request an attempt by the school to violate their freespeech rights.

St. John’s attorney Derek Johannsen told U.S. District Judge John Lungstrum the motion was intended to

keep the lawsuit from being tried in “a public forum.”

“This case has drawn a significant amount of media attention already,” Johannsen said.

But Lungstrum denied the motion.

Plaintiffs’ attorney Dan Zmijewski, meanwhile, said he planned to file a motion to prevent St. John’s students from purging their Facebook pages of anything that might be related to the plaintiffs’ claims.

Court records show that since 2006, the militarystyle boarding school in Salina has settled nine lawsuits filed by parents, including one last year in which a federal judge found the school knew about the potential for hazing yet allowed higherranking cadets to discipline students.

The school has denied the claims.

R-Olathe. “This body has systematically and deliberately picked apart a bill that is meant to address serious issues in our state.

It’s not a joke.”

Brownback’s proposals will jump-start the economy and create jobs, supporters said.

But several legislators voiced disapproval of Brownback’s desire to keep the sales tax at 6.3 percent. The rate was approved in 2010 as a temporary hike to get state government through revenue declines during the recession and then go down to 5.7 percent on July 1, 2013.

“People are watching us to make sure we keep our promise,” said state Sen. Carolyn McGinn, RSedgwick.

Pension CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

revenues and the benefits promised current and future retirees through 2033.

The House’s bill also would require public employees hired after 2013 to choose between two new retirement plans, neither of which are traditional plans that guarantee benefits based on a worker’s salary and years of services. One of the options is a 401(k)-style plan, in which benefits would depend upon investment earnings. The second option would guarantee a 5 percent interest rate on retirement savings set aside by the worker and state.

The House’s vote sends the measure to the Senate, which is working on its own legislation.

Legislators have worried about the pension system’s long-term health for a decade or more and have been working on overhauling KPERS for the past two years. But the proposal to use gambling dollars to help close the shortfall represents a new twist.

“It could make a lot of headway,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis,

But several senators who voted against the sales tax increase in 2010 voted to keep it higher now because they said the extra revenue was needed to reduce income tax rates. State Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, said, “I will oppose anything that inhibits our ability to buy down rates.”

Supporters of Brownback’s tax plan also accused those who were changing it of “Christmas treeing up” the bill by adding measures that would make it impossible to implement because it would cut too much revenue.

The Senate proposal would continue Brownback’s plan to cut income tax rates and eliminate taxes on nonwage income for thousands of businesses formed as a limited liability corporation, chapter S corporation and sole proprietorship.

Senate Democratic

a Lawrence Democrat, who proposed the idea and persuaded his colleagues to add it to the pensions bill during a debate Monday.

Kansas has licensed developers to build and operate casinos in the Dodge City, Kansas City and Wichita areas. It already dedicates $10.5 million of the state’s share of the revenues to boosting engineering programs at state universities, and under Davis’ proposal, starting in July 2014, three-quarters of what remains of the state’s share would go to KPERS. There are no solid estimates of how much that would be, but Davis predicts it could be several billion dollars over the next 20 years. For the fiscal year beginning July 1, the casinos are expected to generate $80 million in revenues for the state, but that figure is expected to climb in the future.

“It’s found money, and we’re addressing the debt,” said Rep. John Grange, an El Dorado Republican who helped draft the rest of the bill.

Much of the debate about the state pension system this year has focused on whether Kansas should move toward a

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD Leader Anthony Hensley of Topeka said eliminating those business taxes was a major flaw.

“How is it fair that ‘Charlie Lunchbucket’ is going to continue paying income tax but a business with nonwage income won’t?” Hensley asked.

But state Sen. Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, said: “You have to take the job creator and give him a break.”

A final vote on the Senate plan will likely occur today. If approved, the measure will probably end up in a House-Senate conference committee.

The House has approved a tax plan that contains some of Brownback’s proposal but added removal of the state sales tax on groceries, which would reduce revenue by more than $300 million per year.

401(k)-style plan for new public employees, which a study commission recommended late last year.

Public employee groups oppose the idea, arguing that it’s likely to reduce employees’ benefits without helping to close the existing funding gap. But supporters of the idea, including Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, say the state can’t sustain a pension system in which retirement benefits aren’t tied to investment earnings.

Under the House’s bill, a new employee would have the choice of a 401(k)-style plan or a plan patterned after one in Nebraska that guarantees 5 percent annual interest on the savings. With the second plan, the worker would get a lump sum at retirement that could be converted to an annuity.

Rep. Ed Trimmer, a Winfield Democrat who voted against the bill, said he thinks starting new plans is unnecessary.

But Brownback told The Associated Press he’s pleased House members included an option for a 401(k)-style plan in their bill.

“That’s something that I’ve encouraged,” Brownback said.

Lecompton “

I had a letter left at my house last week telling me how I wasn’t welcome in the community because I hadn’t lived there long CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A enough. That is how the conversation started Late last year, the old to turn last night too.”

three-story building became vacant after the Northeast Kansas Educational Service Center, an educational cooperative serving area school districts, moved its offices out of the building.

Based on a previous agreement, the ownership of the building reverted back to the city of Lecompton after the building became vacant.

Community leaders have expressed optimism that the building, featuring lots of space, marble staircases and other amenities, can attract a business or other user who wants affordable office space.

But Lecompton Mayor Mark Tunstall said council members are struggling with exactly how to move forward. Some community leaders are advocating the city simply sell the building outright to a private developer. Others are advocating the city, which has a population of about 625, serve as a landlord for the property. Others still want to sell the building but place multiple restrictions on how the building could be redeveloped.

“We had a pretty passionate discussion, is what you would call it, I guess,” Tunstall said of Monday’s meeting.

During the middle of the meeting both Smith and Mallonee said they were stepping down from the council.

“I had a letter left at my house last week telling me how I wasn’t welcome in the community because

— Lecompton City Council member Jennifer Smith I hadn’t lived there long enough,” said Smith, who was in her fourth year on the council. “That is how the conversation started to turn last night too.

“I have enjoyed being on the council because I felt like I was doing a service, and I felt like I was trying to improve the quality of life. But sometimes people get to you.”

An attempt to reach Mallonee wasn’t successful Tuesday.

Tunstall said the Lecompton City Council hasn’t formally accepted the resignations because when the two council members left the meeting, the group no longer had a quorum to conduct business. A special meeting has been scheduled for today during which the council will vote whether to accept the resignations.

Tunstall said he’s still holding out hope Smith and Mallonee change their minds about serving on the council before then.

Smith, though, said she intends to remain off the council.

Both Smith and Mallonee are up for re-election in the April 3 city elections. Neither woman has any opposition on the ballot. Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew said both of their names will remain on the ballot because the deadline to withdraw from a race has passed. But if elected —

the ballot does include a spot for write-in candidates — the women can notify Shew that they will not serve their terms. At that point, Tunstall could appoint replacements.

As for the future of the old high school building, Tunstall said the council will keep working on the issue. The building currently is costing the city about $1,500 a month to maintain, Tunstall said.

“I would like to see a developer take it over,” Tunstall said. “If I had the money, I would convert it into apartments. But lots of people have lots of ideas about it.

“I think it does have potential. We’re right in between Lawrence and Topeka. We’re close to the interstate. But it is a small town. If you like peace and quiet, though, that’s the best place to be.”

BRIEFLY Kansas Book Festival grant winners named TOPEKA — Kansas first lady Mary Brownback on Tuesday announced the winners of $13,000 in Kansas Book Festival grants.

“These grants are Brownback designed to further the Kansas Book Festival’s goals of promoting literacy and encouraging a life-long love of reading,” Brownback said.

“These grants will help improve local and school libraries across the state.”

The grants will go to 16 libraries in Walton, Great Bend, Thayer, Bird City, Gypsum, Iola, Westmoreland, El Dorado, Baileyville, Towanda, St. Francis, Holton, Sedgwick, Atchison, Argonia and Stafford.

The grants were funded through money raised by last year’s book festival and corporate sponsors, according to the governor’s office.

The 2012 Kansas Book Festival will be Sept. 15 at the Kansas Museum of History. It is a free, day-long event.

Man expected to plead to threatening Obama WICHITA (AP) — A Kansas man accused of threatening President Barack Obama is expected to plead guilty in the case.

U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten on Tuesday scheduled a change-of-plea hearing March 29 for Michael Scott Ramsey.

The Hutchinson man was indicted last July on charges of threatening to harm or kill the president in 2009 and again in 2011.

Ramsey had been scheduled for an April 3 trial. Last month, the judge found him competent to stand trial following a psychological examination at a federal medical center.

FORMER EMPLOYEES OF THE TECUMSEH DUPONT CHEMICAL PLANT eat at King Buffet in Lawrence for their monthly gathering. From left are Charlie Wintermantel, Robert Gentry, Tom Hanenkrat and Paula Hladky.

Former co-workers preserve camaraderie at monthly gatherings

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

When a group of retired workers from the former DuPont plant in Tecumseh met for their monthly lunch Tuesday in Lawrence, many of them had done some extra digging into their closets.

Several of the 25 retirees who came to King Buffet, 1601 W. 23rd St., wore their bright red DuPont jackets and old caps bearing the company’s logo.

“It’s all antique, vintage clothing that we’re wearing,” said Paula

Hladky, of Perry, who worked at the plant for 18 years.

Group members are retired shift workers and supervisors from the cellophane plant who meet once a month in Lawrence. Recently, several of them decided to dress the part as well, said Hladky who sat next to her husband, Willard Epling, who worked at the company for 24 years.

Most of the group members retired in the 1980s when Flexel Inc. took over operation of the plant, said Joe Patterson, a Lawrence resi-

It brought back memories, but she said group members enjoy the monthly gatherings and they miss co-workers who have since died or can’t make it to them any more.

Charlie Wintermantel, of rural Baldwin City, who worked there 26 years, said his wife panicked last week as she worried she had thrown his red jacket away.

“It was all right,” he said. “She had just cleaned the closet out.”

dent who wore his red DuPont jacket Tuesday.

British manufacturer Innovia Films now operates the plant in Shawnee County.

They recognized the oldest group member in attendance Tuesday, Jim Stokes, 89, of Lawrence, who retired in 1982 after more than 35 years there.

Hladky said most of the clothing group members wore on Tuesday was given to them as recognition for being safe on the job.

“We dug them out,” Hladky said, “to renew our friendships today.”

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department released its 2011 annual report and a new five-minute video Tuesday. The theme for both: “Let’s Start a Conversation.”

Director Dan Partridge said the department can’t improve community health on its own because there are many factors that contribute to Partridge health: jobs, transportation, child care, walkable neighborhoods, access to food, and education to name a few.

“We don’t do this work in isolation. It’s really the work of the community and just a whole bunch of folks, and until we have this common ground that starts with a conversation, we will not make progress,” he said.

Bill would help protect stalking, abuse victims Health

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A bill that would provide additional protections to victims of stalking and domestic violence could soon be heading to Gov. Sam Brownback.

This week, the Kansas Senate approved a version of the measure that the House passed last month.

The bill will now head to conference committee before it could go to the governor’s desk.

The Kansas Attorney General’s Office and the

Kansas Bureau of Investigation crafted the bill, which would make violations of protection from stalking and protection from abuse orders a level 6 felony. Such crimes are now misdemeanors.

The bill also would allow judges to extend the length of time that protection orders are valid, up to life. Orders are now valid for up to one year, and victims have to reapply every year — and potentially face their abuser in court.

Kansas resident Kristen Beaudette has been advo-

cating for years to extend such orders. Beaudette was a victim of domestic violence and said having to face her abuser every year has been traumatic.

KBI deputy director Kyle Smith, who helped write the bill, said a new law would be a welcome change for victims and advocates.

“They deserve to have the system protect them,” Smith said.

In Douglas County in 2010, there were 295 filings for protection of abuse orders, which are

sought when those involved had a previous relationship. Protection from stalking orders, filed when there is no previous relationship between the offender and victim, tallied 219 in the county in 2010.

Both orders prevent someone from contacting the victim, who must prove repeated acts of harassment or abuse by the offender.

Ike memorial designer open to changes

THIS IMAGE DISPLAYED AT A U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT NEWS CONFERENCE on Tuesday may provide a new clue in one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries and could soon help uncover the fate of American aviator Amelia Earhart, who went missing without a trace over the South Pacific 75 years ago, investigators said. Enhanced analysis of a photograph taken just months after Earhart’s Lockheed Electra plane vanished shows what experts think may be the landing gear of the aircraft, the small black object on the left side of the image, protruding from the waters off the remote island of Nikumaroro, in what is now the Pacific nation of Kiribati.

New clue gives hope to solving Amelia Earhart mystery

By Matthew Lee Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A new clue in one of the 20th century’s most enduring mysteries could soon uncover the fate of American aviator Amelia Earhart, who went missing without a trace over the South Pacific 75 years ago, investigators said Tuesday.

E n h a n c e d Earhart analysis of a photograph taken just months after Earhart’s Lockheed Electra plane vanished shows what experts think may be the landing gear of the aircraft protruding from the waters off the remote island of Nikumaroro, in what is now the Pacific nation of Kiribati, they said.

Armed with that analysis by the State Department, historians, scientists and salvagers from The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery are returning to the island in July in the hope of finding the wreckage of Earhart’s plane and perhaps even the remains of the pilot and her navigator Fred Noonan.

Ric Gillespie, executive director of the group, acknowledged that the evidence was “circumstantial” but “strong,” but stopped short of predicting success. The new search is scheduled to last for 10 days in July and will use state-of-the-art underwater robotic submarines and mapping equipment.

“The most important thing is not whether we find the ultimate answer or what we find; it is the way we look,” he said.

Earhart and Noonan disappeared July 2, 1937, while flying from New Guinea to Howland Island as part of her attempt to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the globe.

Extensive searches at the time uncovered nothing, and many historians are convinced they crashed into the ocean. In addition, conspiracy theories, including claims that they were U.S. government agents captured by the Japanese before the Second World War, still abound despite having been largely debunked.

Gillepsie’s group believes Earhart and Noonan may have managed to land on a reef abutting the atoll, then known as Gardner Island, and survived for a short

time. They surmise that the plane was washed off the reef by high tides shortly after the landing and that the wreckage may be found in the deep waters nearby.

Their previous visits to the island have recovered artifacts that could have belonged to Earhart and Noonan and suggest they might have lived for days or weeks.

Now, they have the new analysis of the October 1937 photo of the shoreline of the island. Experts say a blurry object sticking out of the water in the left corner of the black-and-white photo is consistent with a strut and wheel of a Lockheed Electra landing gear.

Renowned oceanographer Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreckage of the Titanic and the Bismarck and is advising the Earhart expedition, said the new analysis of the photograph could be the equivalent of a “smoking gun.”

“If you ever want a case of finding a needle in a haystack, this is at the top of the list,” he said at a State Department event where Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood gave their support and encouragement to the privately financed project.

WASHINGTON — Architect Frank Gehry said he is open to changes to a planned Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial in Washington to address objections from the 34th president’s family that the design doesn’t put enough emphasis on his achievements as president and World War II military leader.

Eisenhower family members shared their concerns at a House subcommittee hearing Tuesday, where a letter from Gehry was also introduced as testimony.

Gehry’s design calls for a memorial park framed by large metal tapestries depicting Eisenhower’s boyhood home in Kansas. Two large carved stones would depict Ike as president and as military hero, and a statue of a young Eisenhower would appear to marvel at what his life would become. The memorial would be built just off the National Mall.

The family objects to the tapestries and to depicting Eisenhower in his youth, saying it focuses too much on his humble roots, rather than his accomplishments as Republican president from 1953 to 1961 and as supreme Allied commander in Europe during World War II.

kick-started the conversation by publishing its first Community Health Data Report. Among the report’s findings:

81 — percent of county residents do not eat the recommended five fruits and vegetables per day.

50 — percent of adults had not exercised in the past 30 days.

In December, it hosted a day-long assessment of the community’s public health system. It was attended by about 60 community health partners.

Partridge said they asked questions like:

How are we doing on monitoring our community?

How well are we doing with diagnosing and investigating diseases?

How well are we linking people to care?

This year, Partridge said, the department is building off that conversation. In the first two months, it had an online survey, focus group meetings and one-on-one interviews. During the next couple of months, it plans to have community forums.

“This summer and fall, hopefully we will be able to take all of that information and have a similar dialogue with agencies and policymakers in the community to then say: What can we do about these things? How can we improve the quality of life in Douglas County? And, then lay out some overarching strategies that we can all kind of connect to,” Partridge said.

Here’s a by-the-numbers look at the health department in 2011 accord-

ing to its annual report:

$3.3 million — total revenue.

$792,882 — received in federal funding.

$919,566 — received in county funding.

$648,929 — received in city funding.

$371,178 — collected in fees for services.

$3.2 million — total expenditures.

$1.7 million — spent on salaries.

$94,626 — net revenue.

2 — whooping cough outbreaks in Lawrence were responded to. They primarily involved unvaccinated children.

504 — flu vaccinations were administered during a community drive-thru clinic in October.

52 — child-care complaints were responded to.

The most common complaint was providers caring for children without a license.

121 — adult clients saved $4,889 by taking advantage of new vaccination programs offered at a discounted rate for the uninsured or underinsured.

10 — interns, a record high, worked at the department, collecting and analyzing data and providing community outreach.

Strong quake shakes Mexico ————

Hundreds of homes damaged near epicenter

By Katherine Corcoran Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — A strong 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit southern Mexico on Tuesday, damaging some 800 homes near the epicenter and swaying tall buildings and spreading fear and panic hundreds of miles away in the capital of Mexico City.

One of the strongest to shake Mexico since the deadly 1985 temblor that killed thousands in Mexico City, Tuesday’s earthquake hit hardest in border area of southern Oaxaca and Guerrero states. In Guerrero, officials confirmed that some 800 homes had been damaged, with another 60 having collapsed.

Hours after the shaking at noon local time, there were still no reports of death or serious injury, even after a less powerful, magnitude-5.1 aftershock was felt in the capital and

BRIEFLY

several other aftershocks near the epicenter in a mountainous rural region.

“It was very strong, very substantial,” said Campos Benitez, hospital director in Ometepec, about 15 miles from the epicenter.

Guerrero Gov. Angel Aguirre, who is from Ometepec, was headed there to survey the damage and ordered emergency crews and civil protection to the area to help with the damage. The state did not say how many were displaced.

In Mexico City, frightened workers and residents poured into the streets of the capital. Telephone service was down in the city and throughout the area where the quake was felt and some neighborhoods were without power, according to Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard, who set up a hotline for people to report damage.

A pedestrian bridge col-

lapsed on an empty transit bus.

About 40 passengers were stranded for a short time on the Mexico City airport air train but later released. The airport closed for a time, but officials said there was no runway damage and they resumed operations.

Samantha Rodriguez, a 37-year old environmental consultant, was evacuated from the 11th floor on the Angel Tower office building.

“I thought it was going to pass rapidly, but the walls began to thunder and we decided to get out,” she said.

Mexico City, built on a lake bed, was badly damaged in 1985 when an 8.1 earthquake killed at least 10,000 people. In past years, Guerrero has suffered several severe earthquakes, including a 7.9 in 1957, which killed an estimated 68 people, and a 7.4 in 1995, which left three dead.

Romney routs Santorum in GOP primary in Illinois

By David Espo and Steve Peoples Associated Press

SCHAUMBURG, ILL. — Mitt Romney took a major stride toward the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night, routing Rick Santorum in the Illinois primary for his third big-state win in a row and padding his alreadyformidable lead in the race for convention delegates.

“What a night,” Romney exulted to cheering supporters in suburban Chicago. Looking beyond his GOP rivals, he said he had a simple message for President Barack Obama, the man Republicans hope to defeat next fall: “Enough.

We’ve had enough.”

Returns from 75 percent of Illinois’ precincts showed Romney gaining 47 percent of the vote compared to 35 percent for Santorum, 9 percent for Ron Paul and 8 percent for a fading Newt Gingrich.

That was a far more substantial showing for Romney than the grudging victories he eked out in the previous few weeks in Michigan and Ohio, primaries that did as much to raise questions about his ability to attract Republican support as to quell those questions.

Santorum, who hopes to rebound in next Saturday’s Louisiana primary, sounded like anything but a defeated contender as he spoke to supporters in Gettysburg, Pa. He said he had outpolled Romney in downstate Illinois and the areas “that conservatives and Republicans populate.

We’re very happy about that, and we’re happy

about the delegates we’re going to get, too.”

“Saddle up, like (Ronald) Reagan did in the cow- Romney boy movies,” he urged his backers.

Romney triumphed in Illinois after benefitting from a crushing, 7-1 advantage in the television advertising wars, and as his chief rival struggled to overcome selfimposed political wounds in the marathon race to pick

an opponent to Obama.

Most recently, Santorum backpedaled after saying on Monday that the economy wasn’t the main issue of the campaign. “Occasionally you say some things where you wish you had a do-over,” he said later.

Initial results showed Romney’s victory was worth at least 22 delegates in Illinois.

That gave him 544 in the overall count, out of 1,144 needed to win the nomination. Santorum has 253 delegates, Gingrich 135 and Paul 50.

46 killed in attacks across Iraq

Cal State may cut BAGHDAD (AP) — Insur“Dozens of cars were on er security measures ringing enrollment next year gents plotting to derail fire,” said a panicked Saman Baghdad, Tuesday’s violence

SAN FRANCISCO — The California State University system plans to close spring admissions at most campuses next year, and deep enrollment cuts are planned if voters reject Gov. Jerry Brown’s measure to raise taxes, a top school official said Monday.

Only eight of Cal State’s 23 campuses will admit students for the spring 2013 term, with enrollment limited to several hundred community college transfer students, Vice Chancellor Robert Turnage said.

CSU admitted about 16,000 students last spring.

In addition, if voters reject Brown’s November tax measure, total enrollment could be reduced by as many as 25,000 students, or roughly 6 percent, during the 20132014 academic year, he said.

“We’re facing an incredibly uncertain situation,” Turnage told reporters on a conference call. “In the wake of all these cuts we’ve taken, we really have to bring our enrollments down.”

The system, which currently has 417,000 undergraduate and graduate students, is curtailing spring enrollment next year after the state reduced funding by $750 million, or 27 percent, this year.

N.Y. Times to offer fewer free articles NEW YORK — A year after it began charging for full access to its website, The New York Times is cutting the number of articles available for free from 20 per month to 10.

The change, which takes effect in April, will affect “a relatively small number of people,” said Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy.

The Times offers three unlimited access plans, ranging in price from $15 per month to $35. Each plan has an introductory price of 99 cents for the first four weeks. Print subscribers get online access for free.

The company says it has 454,000 digital subscribers to The New York Times and the International Herald Tribune, which began imposing similar charges in October.

next week’s Arab League meeting in Baghdad unleashed bloody attacks across Iraq on Tuesday, killing 46 people. The government vowed not to be scared off from hosting the summit — the first in the country in a generation and a chance to prove it is moving toward normalcy after years of war.

Bombs struck Shiite pilgrims in the holy city of Karbala, set cars on fire in Kirkuk and targeted security forces and government officials in Baghdad and surrounding cities. Iraqis out shopping or eating at restaurants on the bright, spring day fell victim to the onslaught: More than 200 people were wounded in fewer than six hours.

Majid, who had just arrived at his job at a police station in Kirkuk, 180 miles north of Baghdad, when a car in the parking lot exploded.

Thirteen people, most of them police officers, were killed and 59 injured in that attack alone, said Brig. Gen. Sarhad Qadir.

The attacks were not entirely unexpected: Government and security officials have warned for weeks that al-Qaida and Sunni sympathizers would try to thwart the League summit by sowing fear about Baghdad’s stability. Plans for the capital to host the meeting last year were postponed, in part because of concerns about security.

Despite numerous roadblocks, checkpoints and oth-

showed how easily the militants penetrated the sensitive heart of the capital. A bomb exploded near the Foreign Ministry and offices for security directors overseeing the summit. Another blew up outside the Green Zone shortly after dawn, its blast shaking windows in buildings across the Tigris River.

The Iraqi wing of alQaida said it was behind the bombing outside the Foreign Ministry.

The Shiite-led government staunchly stood by its $400 million plans to host the summit, which leaders have called a crucial step for Iraq to showcase its improved stability following the sectarian fighting a few years ago that almost pulled the country into civil war.

They requested 5 percent more permits in February to build single-family homes and apartments in the coming months. That increased the annual rate to a seasonally adjusted 717,000 permits, the Commerce Department said Tuesday.

While that’s still half the rate considered healthy by most economists, it’s the highest since October 2008.

“This report is one of the more encouraging new construction reports we have seen in the last four years,” said Patrick Newport, an economist with IHS Global Insight.

Builders have grown more confident over the

past six months after seeing more people express interest in buying a home.

The rise in permits suggests builders see that interest translating into sales over the next 12 months.

That’s how long it typically takes to build a home after a permit is obtained.

Economists cautioned that construction levels remain depressed and the housing market has a long way to go before it is back to full health.

In an indication of that challenge, the government said builders broke ground on slightly fewer homes in February. The seasonally adjusted rate of 698,000 housing starts fell from January’s revised level of 706,000, which was the highest since October 2008.

Good investment The timing is right for an investment in the city’s business infrastructure.

E

ven in the high-tech bioscience industry, an old blue-collar axiom still applies: Strike while the iron is hot.

Local economic development leaders are striking while the iron is hot when it comes to aggressively pursuing plans for a $10 million expansion of the Bioscience and Technology Business Center on Kansas University’s West Campus.

Douglas County commissioners recently committed $1 million over 10 years to the expansion plans. The city of Lawrence also has included funding in its 2012 budget to support the project.

The funding will be dedicated to expanding the $7.5 million incubator facility that opened in August 2010. The current facility is 100 percent leased by nine companies that economic development leaders hope will grow into significant Lawrence employers in the future.

The facility has filled about two years ahead of schedule, in part, apparently because companies of all shapes and sizes have a strong desire to be located near KU researchers.

Many of the companies are small startup firms, but some — the GPS giant Garmin is a good example — are well established companies hoping to better coordinate research and recruitment activities with KU. The expansion, which could begin as early as this fall, will be a solid investment of public dollars from both the city and the county. The community — rightfully so — invests millions of dollars each year in its infrastructure such as streets, sewers and water lines. Successful communities, however, also invest in their business infrastructure.

This $10 million expansion, which would produce 30,000 square feet of space that could house up to 25 new companies, is a tangible piece of infrastructure. No matter what companies come and go through the facility, the community will be left with a high-tech building wonderfully situated on the KU campus. If it’s well managed, the facility will pay dividends for decades to come.

KU and the KU Endowment Association also are expected to play critical funding roles in this project, but the major funding hurdle will be to receive support from the Kansas Bioscience Authority, which provided the bulk of the funding to build the existing incubator facility.

Local officials have a strong case to make for new funding. The current facility is 100 percent full with nine companies that employ 64 people at wages well above the area average. And all of that happened in less than two years.

In other words, the iron has a nice glow to it.

Bribes drive corrupt Russian system MOSCOW — Two weeks ago, during a trip to Moscow, I visited an amazing family that symbolized the dynamism of the new Russia. On Thursday the husband, Alexei Kozlov, was sentenced to five years in prison.

The story of Kozlov and his journalist wife, Olga Romanova, is one of hope that Russia can change, and of despair that the old order will crush reformers. His case is a grim reminder that Russia will never reach its full potential as a developed nation until it institutes the rule of law.

We met in the couple’s comfortable Moscow apartment, where china cabinets and bookshelves lined the walls. As we sat at the kitchen table, the tall, boyish Alexei (who spent a month at Penn State in 1994) pored over legal

His case is a grim reminder that Russia will never reach its full potential as a developed nation until it institutes the rule of law.” papers while the short, vivacious Olga told me their story, interrupted by frequent phone calls from supporters.

Money trumps justice In 2007 she published an unflattering newspaper article about a Russian oligarch who was close to the Kremlin and also knew her husband’s business partner. The partner argued with her husband about the article. Shortly afterward, Alexei was arrested and jailed on charges of money laundering and fraud; he believes the business partner paid someone to have charges brought against him.

Sadly, in Russia’s weak court system, where police, prosecutors and judges are susceptible to bribes, this kind of story is all too common.

Olga fought back, using her journalistic skills to embarrass officials by writing story after story. She and Alexei

passed through the many stages of hell that compose the Russian prison system: She had to shell out thousands of dollars in bribes in order to visit him or get him moved to a decent cell.

“If the head of the jail saw a businessman, he put him in very bad conditions,” she told me, “because he understood that his relatives would pay to transfer him.” Olga had to get Alexei transferred 11 times, paying around 100,000 rubles ($3,300) every time; a visit cost $2,000.

Infamous case At one point, Alexei shared a cell with Sergei Magnitsky, a tax lawyer who had discovered that officials had stolen tens of millions of dollars from the international firm he worked for. In this infamous case, the officials then accused Magnitsky of stealing the money and had him jailed for fraud. He later died in agony when officials failed to get him medical treatment for pancreatitis and the effects of a beating in prison.

His relatives may not have realized, says Alexei, that a huge bribe might have gotten him medical care.

Ironically, the head of the Interior Ministry “investigative team” that prepared the case against Alexei was the same woman who investigated Magnitsky, Col. Natalya Vinogradova. She is one of 60 officials now banned from entering the United States for their role in the Magnitsky case.

Alexei’s case appeared headed for a happier ending. Due to Olga’s efforts,

it went all the way to Russia’s Supreme Court, which overturned his conviction last September. It then set him free, and sent the case back to the lower court for reconsideration. Despite the absence of new evidence, he was sent right back to jail.

When I met Olga and Alexei two weeks ago, they were apprehensive, but hopeful about the way things were changing in Russia.

Olga told me that while waiting in endless lines to visit Alexei, she had met desperate families of other prisoners, some of whose relatives had also been railroaded; most wives despaired of ever getting to see their husbands. She began to organize meetings for relatives of prisoners, spreading the word by the Internet. These groups spun off to other prisons until around 6,000 family members were involved. In Moscow, the core group meets every Wednesday night; many wives also joined in protests during the last four months against rigged elections.

Women in red The women all dress in red, said Olga. A red dress is a reminder that if you must go to the prosecutor, you have to be strong and not beg. That confuses the prosecutors, she says, “because it is new for them that you don’t beg.”

Alexei talked of the positive changes in the Russian system of arbitrage courts, a separate court system that handles business cases and has become much cleaner over the last five years. Unfortunately, those who seek to bring fraud-

ulent charges against businessmen now bribe the police to switch the case from arbitrage to criminal court. That is what happened to him.

Young people offer hope Yet he was heartened by the new civic activism of young Muscovites. Olga’s 18-year-old student daughter was closeted in a bedroom with a group of young friends, all planning to work as election monitors in the presidential elections the next day. Olga’s 25-year old journalist son had just returned from an assignment in Africa because “it’s more exciting now here.”

“Businessmen want change, too,” Alexei told me passionately. “If they would all stop paying bribes, this system would collapse.

“We should teach the generation who comes after us not to make the mistakes we made.”

But it takes immense courage to buck the system in Russia. Now Alexei is back in prison, where his very survival will depend on bribes.

Opposition leaders believe his second arrest is payback to Olga for her activism in organizing demonstrations against rigged elections.

By returning him to jail, Russian authorities have put on display a corrupt legal system that undermines their economy and their children’s future. That system imprisons not only Alexei Koslov but the whole of Russia as well.

Legislature to blame for KPERS mess After months of debate, the Kansas House has passed legislation that would radically change the public employee pension system for new employees. (I should mention that university faculty are not part of KPERS.) This change will do away with the definedbenefit system that is now the central feature of KPERS and replace it with a defined-contribution plan. It seems quite likely that the House plan will be modified when it reaches the Senate, so the exact end result remains up in the air, but there does seem to be strong support in both houses for some change.

Not surprisingly, public sector unions and interest groups oppose the change from the current KPERS system, pointing out that the proposed system will significantly reduce the value of pensions for newly hired public employees. Those who support the change argue that the state cannot afford to continue the old defined-benefit plan because it is too expensive and point out that many states and much of private industry has already abandoned definedbenefit plans and moved to some form of less expensive defined-contribution plan.

While there are reasonable arguments on both sides of this issue, there are a few issues that simply cannot be

Mike Hoeflich

“

The blame for this massive underfunding lies with the Legislature, not public employees.”

ignored. The first of these is quite simple and serious: Over the years, successive legislatures have failed to adequately fund the KPERS system. These years of underfunding have created a massive deficit in the system, a deficit the changeover itself will not solve, although the House bill proposes to use future gaming revenues to lessen the deficit. From my perspective, the Kansas Legislature’s failure to fund a major state financial obligation is no less than a case of dereliction of duty that everyone should condemn.

I see little point in blaming employees by saying that the KPERS system was too expensive. It was not employees who set up the system.

Like all other employees, public and private, Kansas

public employees assumed that if the state was offering the KPERS pensions, it would live up to its obligation.

In my experience, when people accept jobs, they try to get the best compensation package they can. I also don’t believe that very many public employees in Kansas have so much bargaining power that they can force the state to pay them excessive compensation. The state set up the current KPERS system and then didn’t fund it. The blame for this massive underfunding lies with the Legislature, not public employees.

Although I would lay the blame for problems with KPERS at the Legislature’s doorstep, I find it difficult to blame the current Legislature for now deciding that it cannot offer new employees benefits the state is unwilling to pay for. Unless there is some reasonable possibility that the Kansas Legislature will completely change its nature and begin to fund public pensions fully under the current set-up, the Legislature must change the system to a form it can and will pay for. That is the financially prudent and responsible way to act.

But there is a trade-off here.

The KPERS system was, many folks tell me, a significant consideration in their taking a public sector job. For many employees, the generous pen-

sion benefits provided under the current KPERS structure were a major reason for taking a job with the state. If we now significantly reduce these benefits to future employees, we may well face the possibility that the state will not be able to attract the quality of employees it wants to hire. If the proposed changes become law, the next few years of state employee hiring should tell us whether that is the case.

My bottom line on the KPERS issue is that I just don’t see very much likelihood that future legislatures will be any more willing to meet the costs of the current system than past legislatures have been. If that’s the case, it’s better, in my opinion, to change to a less expensive system, albeit one that offers reduced benefits to employees, than continue to underfund the system and gamble that somehow the state will be able to pay the pension benefits it will owe.

But it is also clear to me that it is wrong to blame public employees for the state’s present financial problems because of underfunding KPERS. That was the Legislature’s doing and the Legislature should accept responsibility for it.

KANSAS WOMEN 70, DELAWARE 64

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

America, meet Angel Bob Cousy. Calvin Murphy. Muggsy Bogues.

Spud Webb. And now, introduced to America on Tuesday night, basketball’s latest pint-sized point guard sensation, Angel Goodrich.

Never has such an exciting, fearless, flashy, innovative basketball player played in front of such small crowds in Allen Fieldhouse as Goodrich, Kansas University’s 5-foot-4 junior.

KU’s Angel in the backcourt had the audience she deserved Tuesday, when she treated ESPN2 viewers to her vast array of basketball skills in a 70-64 upset victory against No. 3 Delaware.

Goodrich totaled 27 points, four rebounds and six assists.

Next up: second-seeded perennial powerhouse Tennessee at 11 a.m. Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa.

She hit three-pointers. She threaded no-look passes to precise targets. She drove to the hoop and fearlessly kissed shots off the glass as if she were a foot taller. She led ESPN.com and ESPN’s SportsCenter. She handled her postgame interview with Holly Rowe as if she had spent as much time on national TV as Katie Couric. She trended on Twitter.

Repeat: Angel Goodrich trended on Twitter.

Angel’s killer smile reached all the way from Little Rock, Ark., to her hometown of Tahlequah, Okla., to right here in Lawrence.

Goodrich arrived at Kansas on the shy side and had to endure surgeries to repair a torn ACL on each knee.

And look at her now.

On a night two saints (St. Bonaventure and St. John’s) and an Angel played their way into the Sweet 16, it was Goodrich who captured America’s imagination.

Repeat: Angel Goodrich trended on Twitter.

“The best player on the floor has been the littlest: Angel Goodrich,” ESPN color commentator Fran Fraschilla said as Goodrich was driving the Jayhawks all the way to Des Moines.

With teammate, close friend and leading scorer Carolyn Davis out for the season because of an ACL surgery, Goodrich knew her team’s best chance at countering Delaware’s 6-5 superstar Elena Delle Donne (34 points, 10 rebounds) rested in her clever hands.

Goodrich’s story echoes that of Purdue’s Robbie Hummel, minus 17 inches.

The difference: Her effort did not fall short with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line.

Another difference: The story has one more year to go.

If Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson can find a way to capitalize on Angel’s wild run — and by that I don’t mean talking incessantly about slip screens, fade screens, back screens, down screens, ball screens, etc. — the ball-handling magician’s days of playing inside a cone of silence should be over.

Plenty of time to worry about that. For now, Bonnie and her assistants are busy trying to find a game plan for Tennessee that worked as well as the one for Delaware did.

Oh, and did I mention that Angel Goodrich trended on Twitter?

KU follows junior to upset of Delaware, Sweet 16

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

LITTLE ROCK, ARK. — Delaware’s Elena Delle Donne came in with all the hype, but Kansas University junior point guard Angel Goodrich stole the show and sent an All-American home Tuesday night at Jack Stephens Center.

Too compact and explosive off the dribble to be slowed down by the Blue Hens’ defense, the Jayhawks’ 5-foot4 captain from Tahlequah, Okla., engineered her team’s

second straight NCAA Tournament upset, leading the Kansas women’s basketball team to a 7064 victory and a spot in the Sweet 16.

Cool and calm throughout the second-round victory, Goodrich saw the Goodrich offensive end with absolute clarity, reading the defense and punishing the Blue Hens for whatever open-

ings they allowed her, whether that be a driving lane, a passing angle or an open three-pointer.

Goodrich went 12-for-21 from the field with 27 points, three three-pointers and six assists. That was clear to everyone, including the Twitterverse, where “Angel” was a trending topic. Not that the instant fame impressed Goodrich.

“I didn’t know what trending meant,” she said with a huge smile.

The No. 11 seed Jayhawks (21-12) trailed 37-31 at halftime,

but their point guard helped them turn things around abruptly. Goodrich scored a layup just 10 seconds into the second half, which was a mere flash of what was to come.

In the following six-plus minutes, Goodrich set up senior forward Aishah Sutherland inside for a bucket and Natalie Knight outside for a pair of three-pointers. Plus, Goodrich scored five points of her own, and KU built a 5343 lead.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Johnson’s big three reflects ‘great confidence’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

It won’t go down in history as a shot as important as, say, Mario Chalmers’ threepointer against Memphis — one that forced overtime in Kansas University’s 2008 national title victory over the Tigers in San Antonio.

But, if the Jayhawks do happen to win two games this weekend in St. Louis and advance to the 2012 Final Four ... Elijah Johnson’s deep three in Sunday’s 63-60 second-round victory over Purdue just might be recognized forever as the dagger that kept KU’s postseason run alive.

“We pretty much approach everything in terms of character. I approached it in a good character way,” Johnson said Tuesday, referring to the shot that erased a 56-54 deficit with 3:04 to play — handing KU its first lead of the game. “I was in a good mood no matter what. I was having fun. I was doing what I love to do. Why not take the shot? It was icing on

“

I was having fun. I was doing what I love to do.

Why not take the shot?

It was icing on the cake if you ask me.”

— Kansas guard Elijah Johnson on a pivotal three-pointer during Sunday’s game against Purdue the cake if you ask me,” the 6-foot-4 junior from Las Vegas added.

His trey came early in the shot clock.

“Coach (Bill Self) always talks to us about, ‘Players make big-time plays,’ and trying to make them,” said Johnson, whose steal and breakaway layup put KU ahead for good, 61-60, with 23 ticks left, Purdue actually regaining the lead after his huge three.

“I wasn’t paying attention to the clock. There’s time to play to the clock and time to Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo just play. That was time to KANSAS GUARD ELIJAH JOHNSON (15) SHOOTS a late three-point basket just play.” in the second-half of KU’s 63-60 win over the Purdue Boilermakers on Please see KU MEN, page 5B Sunday in Omaha, Neb.

PGA Tour eliminates Q-school tourney ORLANDO, FLA. (AP) — PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem, saying it was “time to get better,� announced Tuesday sweeping changes that will end nearly 50 years of Q-school as a way to get to golf’s biggest tour.

The policy board on Tuesday approved two significant components to the overhaul — the PGA Tour season will start in October, and the developmen-

tal Nationwide Tour will be the primary path to get a PGA Tour card. Cards would be awarded at a three-tournament series blending Nationwide Tour and PGA Tour players.

The board approved the concept, which has been talked about for several months.

What remains are the details — a lot of them. “Any time you make a change,

human nature is, ‘Why are we changing? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.’ There’s another way to look at things,� Finchem said. “When things are going pretty well, that’s the time to get better.�

But while the tour wants to make sure players are better equipped when they reach the PGA Tour, money is behind the change, too.

The tour wants to make the Nationwide Tour more appealing as it searches for a new title sponsor — this is the final year of sponsorship for the Ohiobased insurance company.

By starting the official season in October — shortly after the FedEx Cup season ends — it allows the tour to give more value to the tournaments now part of the Fall Series.

Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

The images were indelible for Denver fans or anyone watching on TV as Tebowmania swept the nation.

On the sidelines, Tim Tebow was Tebowing after scoring yet another late touchdown. In his box upstairs, John Elway was trying his best to look excited about a quarterback he could barely stand to watch.

It was a shotgun marriage from the beginning, this unlikely pairing of a Hall of Fame passer with a quarterback who never seems comfortable in the pocket. Now they are likely to divorce, because with Peyton Manning coming aboard there’s going to be a different kind of mania sweeping the mile-high city.

For that, Bronco fans can thank the good people running the Indianapolis Colts. Without Manning on the open market, Elway likely would have been forced by popular demand to keep Tebow, just as the Broncos were finally forced to play him last year. Manning gave him an opening, and Elway reacted like the gambling quarterback he once was in landing the kind of quarterback he always wanted.

The move was brilliant, assuming Manning is healthy and remains healthy. That’s a big assumption, but Vegas oddsmakers quickly gave it their stamp of approval, lowering the odds of the Broncos winning the Super Bowl from as high as 50-1 to 10-1.

There are no odds on what happens to Tebow now. That’s too hard to predict, even for the grizzled bookies who thought by now they had seen everything in sports.

Does he remain in Denver as a backup to a quarterback who almost never took a snap off when he was healthy? Hard to imagine, especially because the new offense essentially will be Manning’s offense — no match for Tebow’s skill set. And surely Elway wouldn’t want to be in his box hearing chants of “We want Tebow� once again, should Manning somehow get off to a rocky start in Denver.

But what do you do with a wobbly armed quarterback who never seems to pick it up until the fourth quarter? A quarterback who somehow found ways to win, but whose real attraction is as an attraction who can fill seats?

Nobody’s going to offer a first-round pick for him like the one the Broncos used prior to Elway’s arrival in 2010 to select him in the first place.

Indeed, the NFL is a business. It’s run by people who are driven to make money and win games. There’s no room for sentimentality about the hired help. The Colts proved that when they sent Manning, the player who revitalized the franchise, packing rather than pay him a $28 million bonus.

As popular as he is, Tebow is just another commodity, another player to fill a position on a depth chart.

The Broncos could keep him as a backup because his contract is relatively cheap, but it doesn’t make much sense for a lot of different reasons.

With a four-time NFL MVP aboard, Tebow’s future is elsewhere. And the future of the Broncos is suddenly a lot brighter.

NEW DENVER BRONCOS QUARTERBACK PEYTON MANNING, CENTER, is flanked by team owner Pat Bowlin, left, and vice president John Elway during a news conference Tuesday in Denver.

Manning unveiled as Broncos’ quarterback DENVER — Peyton Manning stood next to John Elway, holding up a bright orange jersey with the No. 18 on it.

Yes, that could take some getting used to.

And now if Manning’s surgically repaired neck cooperates, these two quarterbacks — one in the Hall of Fame, the other headed there one day — think they might be taking a similar photo together, only next time they’ll be holding a Super Bowl trophy.

Manning was introduced as the new quarterback of the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, the four-time MVP taking the spot once held by Elway, who as Broncos vice president engineered the deal to bring the NFL’s most sought-after free agent to town.

It’s a deal that could also mark the end of Tim Tebow’s days in Denver — a bold move, for sure, but one Elway was more than willing to take. “Plan B?� he said. “I don’t have a Plan B. We’re going with Plan A.�

After his photo op with Elway and owner Pat Bowlen, Manning answered many of the questions that have been bouncing around since March 7, when his old team, the Indianapolis Colts, released the quarterback and set in motion one of the most frenetic free-agent pursuits in history.

On the neck injury that kept him off the field through 2011: “I’m not where I want to be. I want to be where I was before I was injured. There’s a lot of work to do to get where we want to be from a health standpoint.�

On his potential role in being the man who could bring about the end of Tebow’s popular stay in Denver: “I know what kind of player Tim Tebow is, what kind of person he is, what an awesome year it was. If Tim Tebow is here next year, I’m going to be the best teammate I can be to him. He and I are going to help this team win games. If other opportunities present themselves to him, I’m going to wish him the best.�

On Elway’s role in leading him to choose Denver over other suitors, the most serious of which were the Titans and 49ers: “I’m seeing him as the leader of a franchise. I really liked what he had to say. Everyone knows what kind of competitor he is as a player. I can tell he’s

just as competitive in this new role. That got me excited.�

And so, the deal was sealed.

Manning has a five-year, $96 million contract and plans to retire in Denver. His familiar No. 18 was actually retired — a tribute to Denver’s first quarterback, Frank Tripucka, who was more than happy to let Manning bring it back. The Broncos, meanwhile, have some protection in the way the contract was formulated. There’s no signing bonus. Manning will get $18 million guaranteed for next season, but must pass a physical before each season, starting in 2013, to get paid.

Eagles acquire LB Ryans PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles made a big move to bolster the middle of their defense, acquiring two-time Pro Bowl linebacker DeMeco Ryans from the Houston Texans for a fourth-round draft pick in 2012.

The Eagles and Texans also announced Tuesday they were swapping third-round choices in 2012. The Eagles now have the 89th pick overall, while the Texans have the 77th pick.

Steelers WR Ward retires PITTSBURGH — Longtime Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward retired on Tuesday rather than try extending his career with another team.

The decision comes three weeks after Ward was released by the Steelers in a salary cap maneuver. The 36-year-old Ward is the franchise’s all-time leader in every major receiving category.

The four-time Pro Bowler saw his playing time decrease last season behind Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown.

Chiefs’ pursuit of Manning ended quickly KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs have aggressively sought to improve their offense this offseason, signing running back Peyton Hillis, tight end Kevin Boss and right tackle Eric Winston.

They missed out on the biggest name in the free agent derby.

It turns out they never really had a chance.

Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli said Tuesday that the franchise reached out to Peyton Manning shortly after he was let go by the Indianapolis Colts, but it quickly became evident that the four-time MVP already had a list of likely destinations.

“Clearly he had a plan.

He let me know that,” Pioli said. “He didn’t get into the details. He was up front about what he was doing, some of the visits he wanted to take, and we initially weren’t a part of that.”

Manning wound up agreeing a $96 million, five-year deal with AFC West rival Denver.

“I’ve spent a lot of time with him, around him, communicating with him, competing against his teams. He had a plan, he executed it and he never explained to me, nor did I ask,” Pioli said.

The Chiefs were among the teams rumored to be in the running for Manning after owner Clark Hunt expressed his admiration for him during a television interview. Pioli had also said that he wanted to create competition for Matt Cassel as the team’s starting quarterback.

Cassel will be returning from a season-ending injury to his throwing hand.

The team recently signed former Broncos backup Brady Quinn to create some depth.

Pioli refused to get into details about his conver-

Royals acquire catcher Quintero, outfielder Bourgeois SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) — Needing to plug a big hole behind the plate, the Kansas City Royals acquired catcher Humberto Quintero and outfielder Jason Bourgeois from the Houston Astros on Tuesday for minor-league reliever Kevin Chapman and a player to be named.

The trade gives Kansas City much-needed help at an injury-depleted position and sends a young, power arm to the Astros as they build for the future.

Projected starter Salvador Perez had knee surgery last week and is not expected back before July, so the Royals had been exploring all avenues to add a catcher. They found one in Quintero, an established veteran known more for his defense than his bat during nine major league seasons with San Diego and Houston.

“We searched high and low for every potential available catcher because of what happened to us,” Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore said.

“Quintero was the best available guy. We feel like he’s a solid catch-andthrow guy and can give us that experience and will work well with whomever ends up being our other catcher. We had to move forward and make a deal.”

In addition to Perez’s knee surgery, backup catcher Manny Pina also had knee surgery in February. Both were placed on the 60-day disabled list

Tuesday, creating roster room for Quintero and Bourgeois.

Before the trade, Brayan Pena was the only healthy catcher in Royals camp who was on the 40-man big league roster. He batted .248 with three homers and 24 RBIs in 72 games last season.

The 32-year-old Quintero hit .240 with two home runs and 25 RBIs in 262 at-bats with Houston last season. Bourgeois, 30, batted .294 with 31 stolen bases in 93 games. He had one home run and 16 RBIs. “Jason and Humberto were a big part of this team last year and both will be missed,” new Houston general manager Jeff Luhnow said. “They are quality players and well-liked in Houston.

This deal gives us an opportunity to add prospect depth and we are excited about both players coming our way.”

Top prospect Jason Castro is expected to start at catcher for the Astros, who also have veteran Chris Snyder in the mix.

Castro was drafted 10th overall by Houston in 2008 out of Stanford.

Moore said the Royals like the versatility Bourgeois brings.

“He’s somebody who has been very successful against left-handed pitching (career .369 average).

He can play all three outfield positions,” Moore said. “Center field is probably his best position. He can play some second and some third base.”

K.C. clips Angels, 6-4 SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) — C.J. Wilson allowed three hits in five shutout innings, but the Kansas City Royals rallied for a 6-4 win over the Angels on Tuesday.

Wilson struck out five and walked none. He has allowed one run in 14 innings in four spring training starts after signing a five-year $77.5 million contract with the Angels in December.

The Royals scored four runs and five hits in the sixth off Angels reliever Jordan Walden, who retired only one of the six batters he faced.

Billy Butler’s run-scoring double keyed the rally for K.C..

Royals right-hander Felipe Paulino gave up a run and three hits in four innings, while striking out four and walking none.

Vernon Wells homered in the eighth for the Angels.

“

Clearly he had a plan. He let me know that.

He didn’t get into the details.”

— Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, on Peyton Manning sations with Manning and his agent, but he did say that Cassel was aware that discussions had taken place. Pioli also said he’s comfortable with the three quarterbacks currently on the roster — he drafted Ricky Stanzi in the fifth round last season — which makes it unlikely that the Chiefs will select another in the April draft.

“I think we have three quarterbacks on our roster who have the potential to be starting quarterbacks in the NFL,” Pioli said. “There’s always going to be competition.”

Pioli also said that he was in touch with Kyle Orton from the moment the season ended until the moment he signed with Dallas. It was Orton who

was claimed off waivers from Denver when Cassel went down last season, leading the Chiefs to a pair of victories in three games as the starter.

One of them was the only regular-season defeat for Green Bay. The other was at Denver.

“We made it abundantly clear to Kyle before he left for the offseason — and when the offseason started — that we would like to have him back and have him in this situation,” Pioli said.

Instead, Orton agreed to a three-year deal with the Cowboys.

“I can’t speak for Kyle in saying why he chose that situation,” Pioli said, “but I know it was one heck of a contract he received. A

very, very generous contract, which he earned.”

Pioli said he wasn’t disappointed in a couple misses during free agency, primarily because he’s been able to land a couple of pieces to fill glaring holes.

Hillis provides the bruising complement to speedster Jamaal Charles in the Kansas City backfield, while Boss is expected to team with Tony Moeaki to give the Chiefs a pair of tight ends equally adept at catching passes as they are blocking for the run.

Winston may be the biggest offseason acquisition. He’s expected to help anchor an aging and often ineffective offensive line by taking over for Barry Richardson at right tackle.

Winston was so taken by the job Kansas City did in courting him that he almost immediately set about buying a house in town.

Coach Romeo Crennel said in an interview with

The Associated Press on Tuesday that he’s happy with the way free agency has gone, though he conceded, “Lots of times you really don’t know what you have until you get them on the field.”

Hillis and Boss are coming off down seasons.

Crennel said the Chiefs may not be done adding pieces, pointing out that Kansas City hasn’t done much to upgrade the defense yet. The Chiefs signed cornerback Stanford Routt to replace the departed Brandon Carr, but still have holes at defensive tackle and middle linebacker. Still, Crennel is pleased with the roster taking shape.

“If you look up and down it, you can pretty much put a team out there right now. We would know who is going to line up,” he said. “That hasn’t been the case the last couple of years.”

The Jayhawks, however, did a much better job on the glass in the second half, when Sutherland grabbed seven of her game-high 11 boards.

KU’s lone senior, Sutherland scored 12 points in 24 minutes after getting into foul trouble.

Freshman forward Chelsea Gardner scored 10 points and gathered seven rebounds for Kansas.

KU held Delaware to 21for-56 shooting and Delle Donne went 9-for-18, doing most of her damage at the foul line, where she went 15-for-18.

Once the final buzzer sounded, Gardner threw the ball up in the air and she and her teammates went wild — hugging, jumping and screaming in front of the KU bench.

Leslie, Wolfpack finally clicking RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — C.J. Leslie is finally meeting the expectations that followed him as a touted recruit to North Carolina State.

At least some of the credit goes to first-year Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried and his staff.

Gottfried has shown the right touch in guiding the 6-foot-8 sophomore, who has developed into a consistent performer thriving on more than just raw athleticism. It’s a big reason why N.C. State (24-12) is back in the NCAA Tournament’s round of 16 for the first time since 2005.

“I think that more than anything, he’s a guy that just wanted to get better,” Gottfried said Tuesday.

“And I think he needed somebody to challenge him.”

N.C. State, the No. 11 seed in the Midwest Regional, faces second-seeded Kansas on Friday night in St. Louis. Leslie and frontcourt mate Richard Howell will have a tough assignment with national player of the year candidate Thomas Robinson, but Leslie hasn’t shied from big match-ups this year — particularly in the last month.

He’s averaging about 15 points and seven rebounds this season, but those

Johnson — he finished with 18 points on a day Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor combined for just 21 — said he relishes making plays during crunch time.

“I don’t think I would necessarily say I want to take it (big shot). I’ve always been a guy that will take it. I’m not afraid to take it. I like taking it,” Johnson said. “I’m not a guy to say, ‘I’m going to play hero.’ If I need to, I will. If it’s in rhythm I will.”

Johnson grinned when asked what Self said to him while watching a replay of the shot during Monday’s film session.

“Coach didn’t say, ‘Eli-

kind of just falls in place — piece by piece, little by little, time by time. It was just one of those things that it clicked when it clicked.”

Senior C.J. Williams credited Leslie for spending extra time working on his game, but also said Gottfried has also been key.

“I think he just needed to see somebody that

jah you’ve got to shoot that shot from now on, shoot it no matter where you catch it.’ That wasn’t the point. He just said it was a big-time shot. I think he liked that,” Johnson said.

Self said Johnson, “did rise up and make a deep three when basically it wasn’t game-point, but close to game-point. It was a big-time play because, for a guy who hadn’t shot it well — I think he was 2-for7 going into that shot (from three) — that’s usually not a shot a guy takes unless he has great confidence. He certainly has great confidence right now.

“Everybody’s been on him all year to be more aggressive. He’s been terrific the last three games.

He’s played his tail off,” Self added.

Johnson said he and his teammates take a posi-

tive frame of mind into Friday’s 9:17 p.m. Sweet 16 game against North Carolina State at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. He said the key to this weekend is, “bringing energy, not thinking we’re tired. A lot of people are starting to think they are tired on different teams. I can tell. We are not tired yet.

“Some (on other teams) are starting to feel weak and vulnerable. We’re getting close to the finish line.

We want to be the ones to finish,” Johnson added.

Tough match-up: No. 2 seed KU takes on an 11seed in N.C. State.

“N.C. State has 11 in front of its name. Our guys know that doesn’t matter. Everybody can play now,” Self said. “To me, balance is always the toughest thing, and they’ve got balance.”

Robinson honored: KU’s Thomas Robinson on Tuesday was named first-team All-America by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Joining him on the team: Kentucky’s Anthony Davis, Michigan State’s Draymond Green, Creighton’s Doug McDermott and Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger. Last KU player to be named firstteam NABC All-America was Sherron Collins in 2010. Robinson leads the country with 25 doubledoubles in 2011-12, which is tied for the KU singleseason record set by Drew Gooden in 2002.

Recruiting: KU is hoping to land Tony Parker, a 6-9, 250-pound senior center from Miller Grove High in Lithonia, Ga. Parker, the No. 33-rated player

“I’m telling you, man, they’re something special. Kansas is a school I’m seriously considering.”

He has set no official date to announce his decision. It’s possible he could announce sometime next week while in Chicago for the McDonald’s AllAmerica game.

Practice: The Jayhawks were to practice today, then board a charter bus at 2:30 p.m., for St. Louis.

A shootaround that is open to the public will be held from 3:10 to 4 p.m., Thursday at the Edward Jones Dome.

Men’s Division I Basketball Championship

Third Round March 17-18

First Round

Leslie missed the first three games after receiving improper benefits, but had 20 points in his first game against Vanderbilt. On Dec. 20, he took a length-of-thecourt pass and scored the winning basket as time expired to win at St. Bonaventure.

Gottfried said Leslie has improved everything from his practice habits to his shot selection, which is a reason why Leslie’s shooting has improved from 43 percent last year to 53 percent this year. He has taken just 13 threepointers this season after firing up 28 as a freshman — with several of last year’s tries coming when he seemed momentarily confused what to do and shot almost as an afterthought.

Gottfried said it took some time to figure out the best way to motivate a player with star talent.

“Until there’s a level of trust, players sometimes they build a wall and it’s hard to break that wall,” Gottfried said. “I think after time and I think with Calvin hopefully, he does trust that we have his best interest. When you get to that point, now everything can go to another level: now I trust you, we trust one another.”

numbers have increased to around 18 and 10 in the past 10 games. Leslie had 14 points and eight rebounds in the NCAA third-round win against third-seeded Georgetown on Sunday.

He also seems to have formed a strong bond with Gottfried.

“It’s one of those things that kind of just clicks as it goes,” Leslie said. “It

has won before,” Williams said. “Coach sat down and talked with us each individually. I don’t know what happened in their meeting, but Coach definitely proved to us he knows what he’s talking about he knows how to win games. We’ve all bought into that.”

Leslie was a McDonald’s All-American out of Raleigh Word of God and the final addition to a prized recruiting class brought in by Sidney Lowe. The Leslie-headlined trio was supposed to help the Wolfpack reach the NCAA tournament for the first time under the former N.C. State point guard.

But Leslie was inconsistent as a freshman. He averaged about 11 points and seven rebounds, but struggled with his shot selection and at times seemed to rely most on his athleticism. And N.C. State missed the tournament a fifth straight year, leading to Lowe’s resignation and Gottfried’s arrival last spring.

From the start of his tenure, Gottfried has repeatedly called Leslie by his given name — Calvin — to drive home that it was time for a fresh start.

Leslie said he thought it was a joke at first, then got the message.

Marshall to sit out for UNC CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina is preparing to play without injured point guard Kendall Marshall.

The Tar Heels just haven’t figured out how yet.

Coach Roy Williams said Tuesday that his team’s “preparation is 100 percent” to go without Marshall after the passfirst guard had surgery to repair his broken right wrist.

Marshall’s status remains unclear for the Midwest Regional semifinal Friday night in St. Louis, the coach said.

“You’ve got me between a rock and a hard place,” Williams said. “I cannot give you any answers.

I’ve given everybody all the answers I can give because I’ve said honestly, I do not know.”

The left-handed sophomore broke his wrist on a drive in the second half of a win against Creighton on Sunday night in the Tar Heels’ second NCAA T o u r nament game.

Call it the latest Marshall bad break for a team that lost its No. 2 ballhandler, Dexter Strickland, to a season-ending knee injury, then played three postseason games without two-time ACC defensive player of the year John Henson after he sprained his left wrist in the conference tournament.

If Marshall can’t play against Ohio — and that seems likely the case — one option for top-seeded UNC (31-5) could be Stilman White.

The lightly tested freshman has gone from being one of the last players to receive a scholarship to being Marshall’s primary backup — to possibly starting in the regional semifinals.

White — who is stepping away from the program after this semester to begin a two-year church mission — says he turned down scholarship offers from BYU, Utah State and UNC Wilmington and picked North Carolina last year after point guard Larry Drew II abruptly transferred to UCLA. The injury to Strickland, the team’s No. 2 ballhandler, pushed him up the depth chart. Now the injury to Marshall could elevate him into an even bigger role.

Another option could be Justin Watts, a versatile 6-foot-5 senior from nearby Durham who averages roughly 7 minutes and has made three starts in four years.

Marshall has been the Tar Heels’ most irreplaceable player, leading the fast-paced offense with his see-everything court vision and perfect pitchahead passes in transition.

He was hurt when he drove to the paint and was knocked to the floor by Creighton’s Ethan Wragge with 10:56 left. He hit one of two free throws, then left the game briefly before returning and playing about 7 more minutes before leaving for good with 1:54 left.

Marshall had surgery Monday to insert a screw into his wrist, and the next day his father Dennis told The Associated Press in a text message that his son is “doing much better” and experiencing less pain.

The pass-first point guard is averaging about eight points and 10 assists, though he has stepped up his offense recently and scored in double figures the past six games. He had 18 points and 11 assists in the 87-73 win against the Bluejays, his fifth doubledouble in that span.

“I’ve got to try to come up with a way to replace somebody that is darn hard to replace,” Williams said.

Warriors owner baffled by boo-fest OAKLAND, CALIF. (AP) — Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lacob worked into the wee hours of Tuesday morning to return “hundreds” of emails in the wake of a stunning display by typically wellbehaved Bay Area fans, who booed him throughout a halftime ceremony to retire Hall of Famer Chris Mullin’s No. 17 jersey.

As a visibly shaken Lacob struggled to make his tribute speech on Monday night at Oracle Arena, the crowd booed so relentlessly that Mullin eventually stood up and asked supporters to be patient with Lacob’s vision for a franchise that has endured decades of futility.

“Sometimes change is inevitable and it’s going to work out just fine,” Mullin told the fans. “With your support and patience and use that passion in the right direction, this thing

is going in the right way.

I’ve got great confidence in Joe, Mark Jackson, and everything will work out just fine.”

When the boos continued to rain down after Mullin spoke, Hall of Famer Rick Barry hopped out of his seat and also grabbed the microphone and tried to do his part to bring calm to what was supposed to be a special occasion.

“Hey, one second here. Come on, people.

You fans are the greatest fans in the world, as everybody has said that,” Barry said. “Show a little bit of class. This is a man that I’ve spent some time talking to. He is going to change this franchise.

This is crazy, seriously.

Come on, you’re doing yourself a disservice. ... I know he’s going to do it, so give him the respect he deserves.”

Lacob said in an email

that of the hundreds of emails he received after the alarming boo-fest, “every single one of them has been supportive.” The video clip of the halftime ceremony had generated nearly 50,000 views on YouTube by midday Tuesday.

“I and we appreciate that support. Tonight was tough,” he said. “I felt badly for Chris Mullin and all of the other Warrior greats who made the trip to acknowledge and show respect for one of the greatest players to ever play for the Warriors. But, it is sports.”

Along with years of losing, Golden State last week traded away star player Monta Ellis — and Lacob himself has said it was a terribly difficult decision as Ellis became one of his favorite players in the NBA and that of his family. The Warriors traded Ellis, Ekpe Udoh and

Kwame Brown to the Milwaukee Bucks for injured center Andrew Bogut and swingman Stephen Jackson, who was then traded Thursday to San Antonio for Richard Jefferson and a conditional first-round draft pick.

It certainly didn’t help that the trade was still so fresh when Ellis returned to make his debut with the Bucks on Friday night, with Milwaukee winning handily, 120-98.

“Obviously, many fans felt passionate about our recent trade of fan favorite Monta Ellis,” Lacob said. “We believe that they will understand this trade as we go forward.

I just wish it hadn’t tarnished the good deed of honoring someone who so clearly deserved the honor of retiring his jersey. The number 17 will never again be worn by another in a Warrior uniform.”

In the mood for wine? A wine for every mood

By Michelle Locke Associated Press

You know wine and food pairings. But how do you feel about wine and mood pairings?

That’s the approach being taken by a new line of wines — “Be.” — from Treasury Wine Estates that are aimed at an emerging segment of the market: millennial women.

With marketing pitches like “Be Radiant” and “Be Bright,” and descriptors like “Fresh Chardonnay” and “Flirty Pink Moscato,” there’s no mistaking these wines for more staid, chateau-studded labels.

“We wanted to create a brand that would inspire and not necessarily intimidate because the wine category can be intimidating,” says Leslie Walters, Be. wines brand manager.

This isn’t wine’s first attempt to lighten up. The last decade or so has seen the rise of “critter label” wines, wines with odd or provoking names and, most recently, a bevy of “mommy” wines.

The new wines follow research that included spending three to four hours at home with female wine consumers and finding out more about their buying habits and general lifestyles, as well as their attitudes toward wine.

What they found was that women in their midto-late 20s — parameters for the millennial generation differ, but 1982 is often considered a benchmark beginning point — wanted to buy wine but didn’t want it to be a chore.

OK, I’ll admit it, March Madness isn’t the only sports-related item rumbling around my skull this week. It’s hard to think of anything other than the Jayhawks, ‘tis true, but each year at this time, one other little niggling event manages to creep in and a steal a share of the spotlight.

The Sony Ericsson Open.

Never heard of it?

Shame on you! I blogged about it (sort of) back in January. (Just kidding, I know I’m not exactly in Tennis Central.)

Though it’s not exactly convenient for basketball fans, the “fifth major” tennis tournament started this week and will end the same weekend as the Final Four, as it does every year.

Back in the day, when I worked in sports, this meant trying to keep one eye on tennis and one eye on basketball (hey, I worked in Florida, which IS Tennis Central, and it wasn’t weird to be a tennis fan down there).

Years later, it’s the same dual pull for me, though now my job doesn’t depend on knowing every little thing about both. Truth be told, while my loyalties are still a bit split, the Jayhawks trump the tennis court, every time — even if my beloved Rafa — Rafael Nadal — is playing.

So, I thought this week it would be fun to share a recipe with “two faces.” Because, whether we want to or not, chances are most of us have more going on than KU basketball this week, whether that other thing be work, school, family, activities or other sports (or, if you’re like me, all of the above).

Thus, I introduce to you my Two-Faced March Madness Pizza.

is a mix of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean. Together or separate, they’re yummy.

And it’s incredibly tasty and easy to prepare, even on a game night.

To save even more time, make the dough ahead (or use Megan Stuke’s trick and buy some), freeze it, and then put the frozen ball of dough in a bowl to thaw before you leave for work on Friday. Come home, roll it out and make some really yummy pizza before KU’s 9:17 p.m. tipoff.

Heck, use all the dough and make two pizzas — by halftime you might be starved from all the jumping up and down/screaming at the TV.

Two-Faced March Madness Pizza* 1 batch pizza dough, divided 1 jar pizza sauce 1 bag mozzarella or pizzablend shredded cheese 1 tub hummus (garlic hummus is really awesome on this pizza, but pick whatever type you like) Mix of Mediterranean toppings, including: roasted garlic, marinated mushrooms, sweet peppers, marinated giant white beans ( I

just raid the Mediterranean bar at the grocery store for whatever looks great) Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Roll out half the pizza dough on a floured pizza peel or cookie sheet (if you don’t have a pizza/ bread stone).

Spread your pizza sauce on one-half of the rolled-out dough, and hummus on the other half (you will probably only use a couple of tablespoons of sauce and hummus — do NOT dump the entire jar/tub on your pizza or it will be a soggy mess!).

Decorate the saucy half with as much cheese as you like. On the hummus side, top with your faves from the Mediterranean bar. If you like, put leftover Mediterranean goodness on the cheesy half.

Bake on a pizza stone or baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes. Pull out of the oven, and let cool a bit before you tear in. *This recipe makes enough for two whole pizzas (8 small slices, each).

If you want to make two pizzas, just make sure to have enough cheese and toppings; you should easily have enough pizza sauce and hummus for several pizzas.

Ground beef’s ‘pink slime’ put to taste test

By J.M. Hirsch Associated Press

All this angst over “pink slime” has made one thing clear: We don’t always know what we’re getting when we bite into a big juicy burger.

Which leaves unanswered some of the most basic questions in the debate over what the meat industry calls lean finely textured beef, a processed meat filler that experts say has found its way into much of the ground beef consumed in the United States.

But as a professional eater, I needed to know two things: What does this stuff do to the taste and texture of ground beef? And how can consumers know when they’re eating it?

Neither answer came easily, the former because of the sheer volume of beef I needed to eat, the latter because of the rather opaque way ground beef is made.

‘Slime’ in the news For schools, that opacity began to clear last week, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that as of the fall the National School Lunch Program will allow districts to choose ground beef that does not contain the product. Previously, it was difficult for schools to know whether the beef they bought from the feds had it or not.

That’s because pink slime — no matter what you call it or what you think of it — really is made from beef and therefore doesn’t need to be listed as a separate ingredient.

But Thursday’s announcement doesn’t do much for the average consumer.

At the grocer, a steak is a steak, and it is nearly always labeled by the cut of beef it’s from. There was a time when ground beef was similarly labeled and you knew at least roughly what part of the animal you were getting. And though some packages still indicate “ground chuck” or “ground sirloin,” today most is labeled simply as “ground beef.”

Most consumers don’t care. They’d rather focus on another part of the label — the fat percentage. And producers don’t care. It has made it easier for them to take a more amalgamated approach to ground beef, using whatever cuts they want or have without worrying about spelling it out.

Now introduce lean finely textured beef, and the meat picture is further muddied. The product is made from bits of meat left over from other cuts.

It’s heated and spun to

Pioneer Woman serves up new recipes The Dallas Morning News

Pioneer Woman’s Crash Hot Potatoes

Ree Drummond, Oklahoma’s Pioneer Woman, is back with another book of ranch cooking.

“The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier” (William Morrow, $29.99) follows the familiar format of her previous books and her blog: step-by-step photos and instructions for every recipe, with stories and scenes from the ranch thrown in.

She has a big brood to feed — four kids and her rancher husband, a.k.a.

Marlboro Man — so her recipes tend toward comfort food that’s filling and not too hard to make.

Her Fancy Mac and Cheese contains five kinds of cheese, mushrooms and bacon. You have to haul a lot of hay to work that off.

You can well imagine Marlboro Man balking at her Fig-Prosciutto Pizza, piled with arugula and parmesan shavings, but I think it sounds swell.

Her Crash Hot Potatoes have been making the rounds on Pinterest, and for good reason. They’re easy and fun to make.

The secret: Leave them in the oven until they’re browned and crisp.

12 whole new potatoes (see note below) Kosher salt to taste 3 tablespoons olive oil Black pepper to taste Minced rosemary to taste In a medium saucepan over medium heat, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a potato masher, gently press down to mash each one.

Rotate the masher 90 degrees, then mash again. You want them to be smashed but remain separate. Drizzle or brush the tops of the potatoes with olive oil.

Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper and rosemary.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Makes 6 servings.

Note: The recipe works best with small- to medium-size new potatoes. Use more potatoes if they are very small.

and the sauce could thicken a bit.

All into one dish it went, and it was beautiful, and smelled like summer to me. Start to finish, this took about 25 minutes. I served it with a little salad of greens, green onions, strawberries and balsamic vinegar.

A HAMBURGER MADE FROM GROUND BEEF CONTAINING WHAT IS DERISIVELY REFERRED TO AS “PINK SLIME,” or what the meat industry calls “lean, finely textured beef,” right, and one made from pure 85 percent lean ground beef are displayed in front of uncooked portions of those meats. Under a change announced Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, school districts that get food through the government’s school lunch program will be allowed to say no to ground beef containing the ammonia-treated filler and choose filler-free meat instead. remove the fat, then compressed into blocks for mixing into conventional ground beef. Because it’s so lean and inexpensive, producers often mix it into fattier meat to produce an overall leaner product.

That means two packages labeled “ground beef 80 percent lean” may look and sound the same but be composed of different meats. One could be unadulterated ground beef made from cuts of meat containing 20 percent fat.

The other could be made from poorer quality — much fattier — meat but cut with and made leaner by pink slime, a term coined by a federal microbiologist grossed out by it and now widely used by critics and food activists.

How do you tell the difference? For the most part, you don’t.

“You can’t differentiate beef from beef,” said Jeremy Russell, a spokesman for the National Meat Association, which represents processors, suppliers and exporters. “Talking to your retailer would be the only way.”

So that’s what I did.

The field research At grocer No. 1, the folks behind the butcher counter were able to show me one brand, a pricey “allnatural” ground beef that did not contain the meat filler. But for the many other and far less expensive varieties of ground beef? They had no way of knowing.

Grocer No. 2 presented the opposite problem. The workers there found one brand that definitely did have the pink stuff, but they couldn’t say whether any others did or didn’t.

And don’t be fooled by the “all-natural” beef label at store No. 1. That term is unregulated, so it doesn’t really mean anything. At

liqueur 4 ounces lime juice 46-ounce can pineapple juice 16-ounce jar maraschino cherries (with the juice) 20-ounce can pineapple rings 1 orange, cut into wedges In a large punch bowl, combine the light rum, dark rum, curacao, lime juice, pineapple juice and the juice from the jar of maraschino cherries. Stir together. Garnish with the maraschino cherries, pineapple rings and orange wedges. Chill until ready to serve.

Nutrition information per serving (values are rounded to the nearest whole number): 260 calories; 0 calories from fat (0 percent of total calories); 0 g fat (0 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 0 mg cholesterol; 38 g carbohydrate; 0 g protein; 0 g fiber; 5 mg sodium.

another store, another brand of ground beef could be similarly labeled but still contain the meat filler.

But the term “organic” is regulated, and that provides a clue. If you can find it — and are willing to pay the price — ground beef labeled organic cannot contain lean finely textured beef.

Despite the odds, I had lucked out. Between the two grocers, I’d managed to identify two packages of 85 percent lean ground beef, one with pink slime and one without. Time to taste.

By label alone, it was clear we were talking different beef demographics. The pink slime-free product bragged that it was minimally processed and that the cows had been raised without antibiotics, growth hormones or animal by-products in their food. Price — $5.99 per pound. The pink slime version? Just a minimalist “compare and save.” Price — $3.09 per pound.

Outwardly, they seemed the same: They smelled the same, and they looked basically the same, though the pink slime sample was slightly lighter in color.

Until you touched them.

The all-natural sample was slightly fattier to touch.

That seemed odd, since both products should have the same fat content.

Into the mouth For the taste test, I kept it simple and pure.

I formed a half-pound of each ground beef into a thick burger patty, adding nothing to the meat. And though I prefer my burgers on the grill, I decided to fry these in a skillet because it’s easier to control the cooking, ensuring both would be cooked to the same degree and under the same conditions.

I added nothing to the pan. Meat this fatty gen-

Garnish with the remaining cherry and orange slice.

erally bleeds out a robust amount of grease, so I wasn’t concerned with sticking. That was my second surprise. The pink slime patty released very little fat during cooking.

The other patty gave off two or three times as much.

About 5 minutes per side, and I declared them medium-rare. After giving them a few minutes to rest, I seasoned them lightly with salt and pepper, then cut in.

First, the unadulterated burger. The aroma was luscious. The meat was juicy, tender and nicely seared. Where I’d cut, juices slowly dribbled out onto the plate, collecting in a pool. The taste was savory and meaty, with big beefy flavor. The chew had just the right texture, substantial but giving.

Basically, everything you would want in a burger.

The pink slime burger also was perfectly seared and drew me in with an equally alluring aroma.

But no juices collected on the plate. Or dribbled out.

Or were apparent in the meat in really any way.

The taste was — OK. I took another taste of the first burger, then back to the pink slime burger.

It was not bad. But nor was it good. It was flat. I added more salt. No. It was simply one-dimensional.

And then there was the texture. Unpleasantly chewy bits of what I can only describe as gristle, though they were not visible, seemed to stud the meat of the pink slime burger. The result was a chew that, while not overtly unpleasant, didn’t leave me wanting another bite.

Of course, I did take another bite. In the interest of good journalism, I ate both burgers entirely. And then I felt sick. I’m confident that has nothing to do with slime of any sort.

sausage itself will provide what is needed.

I walked away while one side browned and opened a can of tomatoes and the bag of frozen peppers and onions, and I started a pot of water boiling for the pasta. Hint: when you boil store-bought dried pasta, salt the HECK out of the water. Trust me. Put salt in that pot, and then add a bunch more. Just do it.

Then I flipped the sausage to brown on the other side, and added a bag of penne to the boiling water.

Once the sausage was good and brown on both sides, I added the can of tomatoes, the bag of peppers and onions, and salt, pepper and herbs with about a cup of chicken broth to create a sauce. I also reserved 1/4 cup of chicken broth to mix with some corn starch to thicken the sauce later.

Once the sauce was good and bubbly, I added the thickening mixture and left it all alone for a few more minutes so the pasta could finish cooking

Chicken: the other sausage option

S

ince we’re eating, ahem, a lot less red meat these days (sorry, Mr. Meat and Potatoes), I’ve had to pay a bit more attention to protein choices at the grocery store than I used to. My usual rotation of pot roast, flat iron steak, Italian sausage and ground beef, with the occasional pig product thrown in the mix, has sort of been tossed out the window for chicken, chicken and more chicken, with the occasional fish or shellfish thrown in the mix.

I’m getting a little sick off chicken.

The good thing about chicken is that it’s super versatile. The bad thing about chicken is, well, it’s still chicken. But But when is chicken not when is quite chickchicken en? When it’s not quite chicken sausage. chicken?

I found When it’s this chicken chicken sausage at sausage.” Walmart, but have since been seeing it or other brands of similar products on shelves in most of the grocery stores I hang out in. Yes, I feel like I spend so much time in grocery stores it’s almost like a social/hangout opportunity.

Look! There’s my favorite checker! Hey, there’s the bank guy! “Hi, bank guy! I don’t get out much!”

I’ll admit I was skeptical.

Chicken? Sausage? Isn’t sausage supposed to be full of all kinds of good fat? Isn’t that sort of what makes sausage, well, sausage? Still, desperate for a departure from chicken thighs and breasts, I threw a couple of packs into my cart, put them in the freezer when I got home, and promptly forgot about them. Chicken?

You are forgettable.

I forgot, that is, until we had one of those “Oh twaddle, I haven’t been to the store in too long and there’s nothing to eat and if I don’t fix something quick I’ll eat my arm and that would ruin my diet” kind of nights last week. I rummaged through the freezer, came up with a pack of mozzarella chicken sausage, a bag of frozen peppers and onions, and a dish was born. A super-tasty, weeknight, make-it-in-thetime-it-takes-to-boil-pasta kind of dish.

I started by slicing my defrosted sausage and popping it into a super-hot skillet to brown. No need to add any oil or fat to the skillet — the

THE FIFTH SEASON OF “MAD MEN,” the stylized AMC drama about the men and women who work in Madison Avenue adverr tising in the 1960s, premieres at 8 p.m. Sunday. The cast includes, from left, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Jared Harris, Vincent Kartheiser, Jon Hamm, Robert Morse and Elisabeth Moss.

Party like mad!

Or at least like ‘Mad Men’ might

By Alison Ladman and Michelle Locke Associated Press

Does Don Draper do finger food? Judging by the first four seasons of TV’s popular “Mad Men” show it doesn’t seem likely unless we’re talking about a belt of bourbon with a couple of smoking hot Lucky Strikes on the side.

But since that hardly sounds appetizing, we’ve come up with something a little tastier to greet the return of “Mad Men” on AMC on Sunday.

First up are the

drinks, which include a classic martini — made with gin, easy on the vermouth — and a rummy Hawaiian punch. The latter is a particularly appropriate choice since Hawaiian Punch, the juice product initially created in the ’30s as a syrup ice cream topping, was the focus for a classic ad campaign in the 1960s that introduced the character “Punchy” and the tagline “How about a nice Hawaiian punch?”

That’s an in-your-face approach that might have come straight out of the Sterling Cooper

Draper Pryce agency.

And don’t forget the old fashioned, ad exec Draper’s drink of choice. This one’s made with rye, the way Don did in season three’s “My Old Kentucky Home” episode. We didn’t vault over the bar counter to fix it, though.

For food, we went retro, starting with a plate of deviled eggs, all the better if you can serve them on one of those dimpled trays made especially for this purpose. These have chopped ham and a dash of hot sauce for the “devilry” part.

Serve with a smirk and

Classic Martini

Cheese Ball Platter

Ice 2 1/2 ounces gin 1/2 ounce dry vermouth 2 green olives In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the gin and vermouth.

Shake vigorously, then strain into a chilled martini glass.

your best impression of the piquant wit of Roger Sterling.

Stuffed celery is a grown-up twist on the old “ants on a log” children’s snack; this is something you can easily imagine the regal Joan Harris whipping up in her small kitchen.

We’ve also come up with an avocado and crab mini sandwich.

Avocado — both as a food and color — was a big hit in the 1960s kitchen; this combo brings in a hint of California, the “Tomorrowland” state where Draper goes to over-

come his past.

And, finally, how about a cheese ball platter, the nutty classic that everyone cracks jokes about, right up until the plate’s scraped clean of its creamy, cheesy goodness. It’s just the thing for the season premiere, a two-hour special written by series creator Matt Weiner.

What will happen this season? Who knows? The show creators are known for being stingy with spoilers. But it seems a safe bet these recipes will make for a perfectly swell party.

It’s like the buddy system… for parents.

Dear Annie: My friend “Jodi” is 27 and very sheltered. Her parents still pay her rent and bills. I’m worried because Jodi has been acting out of character. She cheated on her husband with a 59-yearold man. He’s now her new boyfriend and “soul mate.” He’s creepy. He talks down to her and gropes her in public. She gives him her paycheck and the use of her parents’ credit cards.

Jodi has a daughter from her marriage, and the little girl lives with her father. I work for Child Protective Services and know this “dream boyfriend” is a sex offender. When we go out as friends, she brings him along, and he says crude, disgusting things to us about our clothes and our bodies. He even tried to take money out of my purse. Jodi thinks this is funny and says I should lighten up.

I told her about his his-

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

tory and that she should be cautious with him around her daughter.

She became angry and said she never wanted to speak to me again. I’m OK with that. She’s not the person I once knew.

My job obligates me to report that this man is spending time with a child, and I have informed his parole officer.

But I also think I should advise the girl’s father, who has primary custody, and Jodi’s parents, who have secondary custody.

My boss says I’ve done my duty by alert-

‘Bent’ breaks no ground While not as dreadful as “The Paul Reiser Show,” “Bent” (8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., NBC) is merely lazy, unoriginal, unambitious and unnecessary.

Amanda Peet stars as Alex, a lawyer and a mother recently divorced from her husband, who was sent away for insider trading. At loose ends, she decides to hire a handsome but shaggy contractor, Pete (David Walton), to renovate her home. Pete’s a surfer and a stoner and catnip to ladies who don’t seem to care that he doesn’t remember their names when they wake up in his bedroom. Or that he’s 35 and lives with his dad (Jeffrey Tambor).

Brief shots of Pete attending a Gamblers Anonymous meeting are supposed to give his character some depth and a whiff of pathos. He’s basically a onedimensional riff on Mark Ruffalo’s character from “The Kids Are All Right,” the sexy man-child heading for a dismal reckoning. But sitcoms aren’t the right format for angst; instead, we get cute scenes with Pete and his dad, a failed musician who plays the piano at a local department store and breaks into Fleetwood Mac songs when he feels sad. Mentioning Fleetwood Mac and sight gags involving a mannish woman contractor are about as topical and “edgy” as things get here.

Only in sitcom land could a barely employed father and son share a gorgeous house on a canal in LA’s Venice neighborhood. ‘‘Bent” offers a real throwback, or setback, for Amanda Peet. She has long been Hollywood’s go-to girl when playing the beautiful and smart object of desire. Having put her on that pedestal, writers seem to have forgotten about developing her character much beyond the part she played in her breakout WB sitcom “Jack & Jill” way back in 1999.

“Duck Dynasty” (9 p.m., A&E) follows the hijinks of the Robertsons, a tight-knit Louisiana family who happened to strike it rich by handcrafting duck calls for hunters. ‘‘Duck” is a perverse riff on “The Beverly Hillbillies.” While that show used the honesty and basic decency of the backwoods characters to show up the absurdity of California culture, “Duck” reduces the Robertsons to the crudest redneck stereotypes.

Tonight’s other highlights

Two hours of performances on “American Idol” (7 p.m., Fox).

A theme wedding goes through the looking glass on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

Violent crime in the sunshine on “Real Vice: Miami” (9 p.m., ID).

ing the parole board, and that speaking to the family is a personal choice. Finding out that the creep stays overnight when her daughter is in the house made my skin crawl. Should I tell the family? — Not a Crusader Dear Crusader: Yes. We doubt Jodi’s parents will do anything since they already enable their daughter to be irresponsible. But the little girl’s father will want to do everything he can to protect his child. You can’t prevent Jodi from being an idiot about this man, but please don’t turn your back on her daughter.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, March 21, 2012: This year your wit, mental agility and resourcefulness come together in an unprecedented manner. Whatever you touch seems to work, yet there is a current of the unexpected that runs through your life. If you are single, romance could be very exciting but unstable. If you are attached, the two of you seem to grow closer together.

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) Keep your own counsel, as you have much to think about. You could cause more change by doing nothing at this point. Tonight: Make it early.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Others will respond well to your calls and inquiries. Loved ones actively seek you out because they know how much you have to offer.

Tonight: Where you want to be.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You have excellent ideas and a lot to offer. Others appreciate your sharing nature, but be prepared to take the lead. Use care with new acquaintances. Tonight: To the wee hours.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Keep reaching out for someone who has more expertise.

Feedback can only help you make better decisions. Tonight: Feed your mind and hop on the Internet.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Somehow, you have a way with a key person in your life that adds to the positive vibes.

Count on this person’s support, and acknowledge his or her caring.

Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

derful, dynamic woman.

Here’s my dilemma: When visiting my home, she saw a collage of pictures in my hallway, some of which include my ex-wife and me. She calls it a “shrine.” I see it as pictures on the wall.

My youngest son, now 14, likes this picture. Marie gave me an ultimatum, adding, “If he likes it so much, put it in his room.”

I feel she is being unreasonable. — Perplexed Dear Perplexed: It’s quite presumptuous for a girlfriend to dictate what pictures you can have in your hallway, especially when your son still lives with you.

Unless you have a large portrait of your ex hanging in the living room, it’s not Marie’s business.

Tread cautiously.

If you let others take the lead, you will free up a lot of time and enjoy yourself so much more.

You have an opportunity or open window. Tonight: Out. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your ability to defer to others and see situations differently from the majority could become a problem. In an open discussion with a partner, loved one or close friend, share your thoughts. Tonight: Sort through offers.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Keeping your feet on the ground could take a lot of work.

Your present inclination will be to float from this thought to that topic.

If you can, go off and follow your imagination. Tonight: Make plans with a loved one.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be tenser than you would like. Someone you care about might be draining you without intending to. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity and caring only add to your interactions. A loved one, child or potential flirtation responds well to a conversation. Tonight: Go with the moment.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Remain sensitive to your budget. Before you make a purchase for your home, do some intense price comparison. Tonight: Spend time with a family member.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) No more excuses.

Move on a key matter. You might be delighted by what you hear and by someone’s enthusiasm. Tonight: Celebrate the moment.
