Towing overhaul alleviates concerns ——

FREE STATE HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORES FLORIAN EICHBLATT, LEFT, AND ZACH BATTERMAN work through some Algebra 1 problems using both textbooks and online materials. The blending of online materials and classroom management with traditional teacher-led classroom instruction is a new model for learning that is being tested in several schools in the Lawrence district.

New instructional model, which allows students to learn at own speed, put to test

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Danira Flores stood in front of her class at Free State High School recently, delivering a lesson in trigonometry. But it took only a moment for outside observers to notice a few things out of the ordinary.

Most notable was the fact that only a handful of the 20 or so students in her room were watching her or paying any attention.

As a stereo was humming rhythmic salsa music in low volume, most other students were off in other areas of the classroom, reading by them-

selves or huddled in small groups around computers and talking among themselves.

A few textbooks could be seen on desks and tables, but almost none of them were being used.

In other times, and in other classrooms, that kind of situation would have brought a stern command from the teacher for

everyone to straighten up and focus.

Not so in Flores’ class. For her, and for other teachers working to shape a new model of 21st century learning in Lawrence, that kind of setting is not only normal, it’s expected.

The first time Anne Hall met the teenaged girl she was matched with as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, the teen refused to talk with her, stomping out of the room in protest at being paired with yet another adult she was convinced would abandon her.

Special hearing set in KU tickets case

Born in Ethiopia, the girl grew up in an orphanage, where she had been sexually abused. At age 6, she was brought to the United States to be adopted. She was then un-adopted — twice. Over the years, she burned through 20 different foster homes.

Four months in, a new county policy regulating how much towing companies can charge has alleviated overcharging concerns expressed by residents, according to Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug.

For the past several years, numerous residents complained about overcharging by local towing companies on the county’s nonpreference towing list. In some cases, local residents were charged more than $1,000 for a simple tow.

The key to connecting with a teen who has endured a lot of heartbreak is to move slowly, Hall said. “You have to ease your way into it. I try to build a relationship before we get into whatever the problem is, why they are in foster care.�

Hall got together with her CASA child several times a month just to hang out. They took Hall’s puppy to the dog park, went out to dinner, went bowling. Soon, the teen felt safe enough with Hall to talk about her troubles.

Before long, they had built a bond that lasted after the girl turned 18 and CASA closed her case.

As a newly minted attorney practicing with the Lawrence firm Pendleton and Sutton, Hall had been looking for a way to volunteer in the community. Her husband, Adam Hall, suggested she become a CASA as a way to

attorney as he considers whether to grant the convicted man’s request for a shorter sentence.

Blubaugh was sentenced in April 2011 to 46 months in prison after previously pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States through wire fraud, tax obstruction and interstate transportation of stolen property.

Blubaugh, who has been serving time at a federal prison in Oklahoma, has asked a judge to reduce his prison sentence to no more than 33 months.

He contends the court improperly considered the value of tickets for sporting events that had passed, so-called deadwood files, which he had hidden in a private storage facility. Blubaugh also claims he had ineffective counsel, saying his attorney assured him that the prosecutor had promised he would get probation in return for helping the government — even if all the defendants pleaded guilty and

combine her passion for mentoring teens with her legal know-how. He volunteered to serve as her support CASA, providing the girls with a positive male role model. That was three years, two cases and hundreds of volunteer hours ago. “Anne is young, she’s energetic, she’s very involved in the community, and she has a personality that just really fits with teenaged girls — they love her,� said Sherry Catt, volunteer supervisor for Douglas County CASA. “She’s also a detail person who does her homework and looks at what the needs are and really advocates for whatever case she’s working on.� “Being a CASA is really cool,� Hall said. “All the other people assigned to the children — the attorney, caseworkers — they all have multiple cases.

I’m only assigned one CASA child, so I can give her my complete attention. It’s a combination of mentoring and making sure that things don’t fall through the cracks, all the stuff that has to be done for the court system, so they don’t end up floundering in the system.� “A lot of kids who are

taken into custody are used to people disappearing on them,� Catt said. “The children sometimes move from one place to another, and sometimes there is turnover with their case manager. The CASA volunteer is the one constant.�

In 2012 alone, CASA served 105 abused and neglected children under the protection of the court system, an 18 percent increase from the previous year.

They could have served many more — the list of children waiting to be matched with a CASA volunteer has more than doubled in the past year. All that’s missing are enough CASAs to pair them with.

Catt encourages anyone interested in learning more about being a CASA to visit dccasa.org or call 832-5172. The website contains a volunteer application and the dates of upcoming volunteer training sessions. “I love volunteering,�

Hall said. “I’ve done Habitat for Humanity builds and all that, but with CASA, you get to build a relationship.�

the case never went to trial.

Belot said last month he was surprised neither side called Blubaugh’s former attorney, Stephen Robison, to testify at last month’s hearing on the request. The judge took the rare step of setting another hearing so he could listen to Robison’s testimony.

The court also granted a prosecution request seeking copies of Robison’s defense file on the case, finding Blubaugh waived attorney-client privilege when he made a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.

Blubaugh has challenged his sentence in a pleading from prison in which he claims the court erred in allowing the government to use information he provided to adjust the amount of loss attributed to him. He argued his plea agreement prohibited the government from using the previously concealed “deadwood� tickets he turned over in determining his guideline sentence.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Hathaway has argued in court filings that prosecutors already knew about the tickets even be-

fore Blubaugh told them they had not actually been destroyed. The government also took issue with the claim of ineffective counsel by noting that his defense attorney had vigorously pressed the issue of the “deadwood� tickets in two sentencing memorandums and at the sentencing hearing. Hathaway argued in a court filing that an attorney is not ineffective simply for failing to win an argument.

Hathaway also pointed out that the defendant himself acknowledged in his plea agreement that he had not yet provided substantial assistance to the government and that the sentence would be up to the judge to decide.

Blubaugh and his wife, Charlette, the university’s former ticket director, were among seven people convicted in a scheme involving tickets to football and basketball games. Five people were convicted of conspiracy and were sentenced to prison terms after all pleaded guilty.

Two others who cooperated early with prosecutors were given probation sentences after pleading guilty to a lesser charge of failing to tell authorities about the scheme.

into effect Nov. 1 requiring towing companies on the list to sign a contract, agreeing to set prices.

For simple tows, the charges are set at $150, with varying adjustments for more complicated tows.

Weinaug said the change has stopped the frequent calls from outraged residents, but discussions continue among the towing companies about whether the set prices are high enough. “Some of them are not happy with the amount they’re getting per tow,� he said.

Troy Gentry, owner of 19th Street Tow and Re-

covery, 2005 E. 19th St., however, was an advocate for a change and said he thinks the new system is “just fine. No problem for me.�

Over at Hillcrest Wrecker & Garage, Inc., 3700 Franklin Park Circle, owner Jerry Taylor also said he’s OK with the current prices but has heard complaints from other owners.

Taylor said it might take more time to see whether the policy is fair, though. “It takes a while to see what the effects are going to be,� he said.

New policy monitors ticket dismissal

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Drones would be grounded in Kansas The national debate over the use of drones has hit the Kansas Legislature. House Bill 2394, introduced by Rep. Travis Couture-Lovelady, R-Palco, would prohibit the operation of drones in Kansas while carrying a lethal payload. Law enforcement agencies also would be prohibited from using a drone to collect evidence.

But the bill would allow drones to counter a potential terrorist attack â&#x20AC;&#x153;provided, the United States Department of Homeland Security has determined that credible intelligence indicates that there is such a risk of a terrorist attack, and a search warrant has been obtained for use of such a drone.â&#x20AC;?

A new city policy aimed at preventing the fixing of traffic and parking tickets issued by the Lawrence Police Department by more closely monitoring the procedure for dismissing tickets has been effective, Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

The policy, which creates a tracking system for attempts by department employees to void or dismiss tickets, was created in the wake of a ticket-fixing scandal

last year that led to the dismissal of two Lawrence police officers.

According to a report provided to city officials earlier this year, between Aug. 27 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when the policy was implemented â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the end of the year, police officers requested that 16 tickets be dismissed.

Of those, six involved cases already charged in district court, while seven involved some form of equipment or ticket-writing error.

The remaining three cases in-

volved a ticket written to a U.S. Secret Service vehicle on official business; one given to an unmarked police vehicle; and a ticket given by an officer in training, which was later dismissed because of a lack of evidence.

McKinley declined comment on how requests for dismissal were handled before the new policy, citing pending litigation involving the city.

In February, former Sgt. Mi-

chael Monroe filed a lawsuit against the police and the city alleging that racial discrimination played a role in his firing in 2012. In the lawsuit, Monroe described several cases in which he or another Lawrence officer dismissed tickets for friends and family.

Former Sgt. Matt Sarna, the second officer involved in the ticket scandal, left the police department in February 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 8327173. Follow him at Twitter.com/shaunhittle.

AmeriCorps helps expand learning opportunities

Bill would limit gun-control lobbying A bill backed by the NRA that would prohibit the use of taxpayer funds to advocate for gun control is headed to the full Senate.

The Senate Ethics, Elections and Local Government Committee approved Senate Bill 45 last week. The measure would prohibit the use of public funds to advocate for gun restrictions at the local, state or federal levels.

The bill was supported by the NRA, Kansas State Rifle Association and other gunrights advocates, who argued that taxpayer funds shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be used to lobby for restrictions on legal products.

School finance conference is today Kansas Supreme Court Chief Justice Lawton Nuss will conduct a telephone conference with attorneys today in the school finance lawsuit.

The state is appealing a ruling from a three-judge panel that the Legislature has failed to adequately fund schools and ordered a $440 million increase.

At the request of Gov. Sam Brownback and Attorney General Derek Schmidt, the state Supreme Court ordered the parties to enter into mediation to see if the case could be resolved.

The court told the sides to agree on a mediator or the justices would appoint one.

GAYLE SIGURDSON, SERVICE COORDINATOR AT BABCOCK PLACE, leads a group of seniors in a sampling of food that was created in a cooking program, supported by an AmeriCorps member and managed by the United Way.

Top Chef program promotes healthy eating â&#x20AC;&#x153;

By Micki Chestnut

Special to the Journal-World

They may not be cutthroat and acerbic like the contestants on the TV show, but the folks participating in Top Chef: Babcock Place are still generating some heat in the kitchen.

Twice a month, residents of Babcock Place, an apartment complex at 1700 Massachusetts St. for low-income seniors managed by the LawrenceDouglas County Housing Authority, gather to prepare healthy foods, sample cuisine and learn a lot about how good nutrition can help them stay well.

The thrill of competition is just an added bonus.

Top Chef: Babcock Place was cooked up by Lisa Rowe, an AmeriCorps member serving at Babcock Place, as a way to get seniors excited about eating healthier and creating nutritious meals on a budget. She is one of 16 AmeriCorps members managed by the United Way of Douglas County who are working at nine Douglas County agencies to increase health literacy and health outcomes in our community.

Help from AmeriCorps According to a comprehensive community health assessment completed by the Lawrence Douglas County Health Department in 2012, 81.8 percent of county residents report consuming fewer than five fruits and vegetables a day. That low number of people eating a healthy diet concerns Erika Dvorske, president and CEO of the United Way of Douglas County and member of the community health assessment steering committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The United Way is working to address the root causes of community health problems, and one of the ways weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing so is by supporting programs and initiatives that help people adopt a healthier lifestyle,â&#x20AC;? Dvorske said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The AmeriCorps program is a key component, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited about the huge impact the members are having all over Douglas County.â&#x20AC;?

FREE STATE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS use both traditional textbooks and online materials to work through problems in an Algebra I class. The blending of online materials and classroom management with traditional teacher-led classroom instruction is a new model for learning, and technological enhancements that support the program would be covered as part of the upcoming school bond proposal.

the blended classroom model districtwide, officials say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to overcome at least two major hurdles: funding and equity.

Because the system depends on all students having wireless access to the Canvas portal, the district will need to greatly expand its wireless broadband capacity.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the districtwide technology upgrade that is part of the upcoming $92.5 million bond proposal.

If voters approve that bond issue April 2, about $6.5 million would go for technology upgrades, including about $1.2 million to support a digital curriculum.

Meanwhile, Superintendent Rick Doll said the district is currently building plans around a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bring-your-own-deviceâ&#x20AC;? model, meaning that the district would provide the wireless network in schools and the Canvas online system to manage material, but in most cases students would be responsible for bringing their own devices: laptops, tablets or smartphones.

The bond issue, Doll said, will not be used to buy devices, but it could free up money in other funds so the district can buy devices much like it now buys textbooks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a 20-year bond, and so the board didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel it was wise to use 20-year money to pay for devices that might last three to five years,â&#x20AC;? Doll said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But what will happen is that if our bond passes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to free up some capital outlay dollars to buy the devices.â&#x20AC;?

Teachers involved in the field test acknowledge that making blended learning accessible to all students could be a challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to address at some point,â&#x20AC;? said Flores, the Free State math teacher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I were to guess, I would say about 25 percent of my kids may not have access at home. In Algebra I, I have a few more kids that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access than in my precalculus class.â&#x20AC;?

Schools CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love coming to work,â&#x20AC;? she said when asked how the new method is working. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It re-energizes you.â&#x20AC;?

Flores is one of several teachers in the Lawrence school district taking part in a field test of a relatively new learning model called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;blended classroomâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so named because it blends traditional teacher-led instruction with individualized online activities that students can work on at their own pace, from anywhere they can get an Internet connection The idea has been evolving since the advent of the Internet and â&#x20AC;&#x153;distance learningâ&#x20AC;? in some schools, but it is now taking shape as a model that can benefit all students in all kinds of settings.

So far, Flores says, her students are adapting to it well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last semester, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m teaching classes that feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s painful, like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m subjecting them to painful material,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now you look at them, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more relaxed because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created it more self-paced, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m allowing kids to reach mastery at their level. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not moving forward at warp speed. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just there to help support them and answer questions as they come up.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some kids wrapping up systems of linear equations, and others just running away with odds and probability.â&#x20AC;?

Digital learning environment The field test involves classrooms at all grade levels in seven buildings throughout the district.

Administration officials provided a tour of some of those classrooms last week to Kansas University School of Education professors and local news media.

Earlier this year, the district spent $10,620 to contract with Instructure, a Utah-based tech firm that produces the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canvasâ&#x20AC;? software package that lies at the core of the blended learning system.

Students log into Canvas and immediately see a daily calendar that con-

tains all their assignments, reading material, videos, assignments, worksheets and even tests.

They can print out their assignments to work on them or, in some cases, complete them directly online.

When students show up to class, depending on their level of independence, they can choose to work directly with the teacher, or to work by themselves or with others in small groups.

Teachers use the system to monitor studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; progress and grade their work. They can also use the system to send feedback to the students and communicate directly to their parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the flexibility I now have,â&#x20AC;? Flores said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got kids ahead who might take a test two days ahead from home on a Sunday. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got kids going on a trip, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a basketball game or what have you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I had a student take her test in Las Vegas.â&#x20AC;?

That kind of individualized pace can be good for students, but it also presents challenges for teachers who have to manage learning activity for students at all different achievement levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be daunting,â&#x20AC;? said Michelle Andersen, a social studies teacher at Southwest Middle School who is involved in the field test. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still working on. This is new, so there are still wrinkles to iron out, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always tried to teach kids where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at.

This is just a new way of doing it.â&#x20AC;?

Teachers said Canvas also gives them the opportunity to move beyond traditional textbooks and bring in online learning material from a wide range of sources, many of which they can get for free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use textbooks,â&#x20AC;?

Andersen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes I put them out, so if kids want to use them they can use them. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather use the Internet, they can use the Internet.

I try to give a lot of choice: How do you want to learn?

Who do you want to learn it with? What resources are you going to use?â&#x20AC;?

Not far away, in Amanda Roenickeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English class at Southwest, students gathered around computers or worked at the smart board, an electronic interactive white board that is the 21st century substitute for a chalkboard, studying a William Blake poem.

Roenicke said the system has given her more flexibility to bring in a wider range of learning material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like before, I still had that option, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the ability to get it to kids as quickly,â&#x20AC;?

Roenicke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to pull something, get it into Canvas, and kids suddenly have access to it 24 hours a day. Before, I could pull something and teach it out front to the whole class, but as soon as they left my classroom, they suddenly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to it.â&#x20AC;?

Telecommuting: Was Yahoo doing it right?

By Leanne Italie Associated Press

NEW YORK — Yahoo’s leaked edict under CEO Marissa Mayer that calls remote workers back to the office lit the Twitterverse on fire, angering advocates of telecommuting and other programs intended to balance work and home life.

A new study from the nonprofit Families and Work Institute shows a tide moving the other way, with more workers now telecommuting — and men significantly more likely than women to be granted the freedom to work at least partially at home.

Left mostly unanswered is the question Mayer appears to be dealing with: Is that a good thing? Or has the rise in telecommuting led to a drop in productivity or creativity?

Chances are, one telework supporter said, the tech giant just wasn’t doing it right.

“If you don’t know where your people are and what they’re doing, then you haven’t imple-

mented properly, so she’s got her hands full,” said Kate Lister in San Diego, Calif., co-founder of Global Workplace Analytics, which collects data on the subject for its Telework Research Network.

Slogging through decades of research on the value of telecommuting is complicated. Small studies have been done by employer membership organizations, companies looking at their own ranks, consulting firms and government agencies, along with academics. Some use small samples, others rely on a wild array of statistics from the U.S. Census, the Small Business Administration or the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The verdicts are mixed and the research often so focused on a work force or issue related to flex options that it’s difficult to make conclusions.

The new Families and Work Institute study, on the other hand, deals solely with employers in the U.S., delving into a broad range of family friendly programs, policies and

More of the workers were higher-wage earners. Overall, the number of employees who work entirely from home was 3 percent, compared with

awrence home sales in January continued to show signs of improvement.

A new report from Lawrence Board of Realtors found home sales in January were up 44 percent compared with January 2012, rising to 36 from 25. It continues a multimonth streak of sales increases on a yearover-year basis, which has given real estate professionals cautious optimism that a recovery is starting to take hold in Lawrence.

One of the more interesting numbers in the report is that there has been a significant decline in the number of homes on the market, which real estate agents say is a sign the market is starting to get more balanced between buyers and sellers.

In January, there were 380 homes on the market, down from 460 during the same period a year ago.

The length of time a home is sitting on the market, though, hasn’t yet started to show that trend. The median number of days on market: 81, up from 72 a year ago.

drops everywhere but Lawrence. The median value in Lawrence in 2013 is $159,625, down 0.6 percent from the median of 2012.

That’s nothing compared with what the report shows for the other areas of Douglas County.

Here’s a look:

Eudora: The median market value has dropped 10.2 percent to $125,600, down from $140,000.

Baldwin City: Down 7.4 percent to $132,700 from $143,400.

Lecompton: Down 16.6 percent to $83,950 from $100,670.

Rural Douglas County: Down 22.8 percent to $153,400 from $198,805.

Douglas County Appraiser’s Office has new information out about the county’s real estate tax base. It appears Douglas County and the city of Lawrence once again will avoid a major hit to their property tax bases.

The numbers aren’t final yet because property owners can still file appeals related to their properties’ assessed values, but the appraiser’s office shows a decline of 0.29 percent for 2013. The total assessed valuation — remember, assessed value is the taxable value, not the market value — checks in at $1.024 billion in 2013, down from $1.027 billion in 2012.

The appraiser’s office hasn’t provided a report that shows the assessed valuation by community yet, but normally Lawrence tracks closely with the overall county total because Lawrence has most of the county’s tax base within its boundaries.

But there may be real questions about what happens to the tax base in some of the smaller communities and townships in Douglas County.

The appraiser’s office has put together a report estimating the median market values for residential property in each city in the county. The report shows significant

If you are a confused Kansas University football fan (and that trait sometimes goes with the territory) who still travels to Lincoln to see the ’Hawks and the ’Huskers square off, all is not lost.

A taste of Lawrence soon will be opening up in Lincoln. Dempsey’s Burger Pub, 623 Vermont St., is expanding into the Nebraska city.

Dempsey’s owner Steve Gaudureau recently told me the company has signed a lease to take over a 4,500-square-foot restaurant space in downtown Lincoln. The restaurant will be about a block and a half from another taste of Lawrence, BisonWitches Bar & Deli, which is a spinoff of Gaudureau’s popular Quinton’s Bar & Deli in Lawrence, 615 Massachusetts St. Gaudureau has had Dempsey’s in Lawrence for about five years and has added the gourmet burger side of the business within the past three years. Before that, Lawrence’s The Burger Stand got its start out of Dempsey’s, before the two establishments ended up parting ways to create a burger rivalry in the city. Gaudureau said Dempsey’s has found its stride, and now he wants to see how large it can become.

“Dempsey’s is my new

passion,” Gaudureau said. “This is my future.

I’m still selling Quinton’s franchises, but I’m done opening them up. The future is having a chain of Dempsey’s. I want to go where the market takes me.”

Gaudureau — who has grown the Quinton’s and BisonWitches franchise into a multi-state operation — believes upscale burgers are a food trend that has some staying power because a whole new generation of “foodies” is looking for an affordable way to eat gourmet.

Gaudureau hopes to have the Lincoln restaurant open by mid-April.

He also has a few minor changes on tap for the Lawrence Dempsey’s location. He’s filed plans at Lawrence City Hall to add a new patio onto the north side of the building.

It will replace a patio that currently is on the backside of the building.

Lawrence’s latest retail chain store has made its debut.

Ross Dress for Less had a soft opening on Friday and its grand opening celebration on Saturday.

The store is located at 3234 Iowa St., which previously was occupied by Old Navy. In other words, it will be in the building right next to Kohl’s department store near 33rd and Iowa.

I never have been successful in actually talking with a Ross official on the phone, so I don’t know much about why the retailer chose to come to the Lawrence market or why it took it almost a year to open the store once it filed its plans with City Hall.

But they are here now, and according to a release from the company, this will be its third new store in the “Kansas City area” since October 2012. Ross bills itself as the “nation’s largest off-price apparel and home fashion chain.”

I don’t know exactly what that means, other than I can probably expect to see a new addition to my monthly credit card bill. But according to the company’s Web site, it carries a large line of women’s clothing, in addition to some clothing for men and children, plus some shoes, accessories and home decor items.

64 percent who sometimes do, said Ellen Galinsky, the institute’s president and co-founder.

Men were significantly more likely than women to work partially at home — 67 percent compared with 59 percent of women, partially a reflection of more men in jobs where the option is possible. Men also were more likely to work mainly from home.

Neither Lister nor Ga-

linsky has the inside scoop on what’s happening at Yahoo, but Galinsky was steadfast about one thing.

“To take away all flexibility for everyone all the time is an overreaction,” she said. “If you know that people will be more innovative and collaborative by being together, that is a positive. But sometimes people need time alone.

Why do the best ideas occur in the shower, or when we’re walking the dog?”

Galinsky and others who study work-life balance don’t anticipate a backlash among other employers due to Yahoo. And the company itself followed up an internal memo leaked to the tech blog All things D with a curt statement indicating the prohibition might not be forever.

Meantime, Lister said about 2.5 percent of the U.S. civilian population, or about 3 million people, work at home at least half the time, according to U.S. Census data. The rate of growth was slowed by the recession, with some researchers suggesting it’s flat at the moment.

Why isn’t the number even higher? “The biggest reason is that managers don’t trust their employees,” Lister said. “They’re still managing the 21stcentury work force with 20th-century styles of commands and controls, back to the days of sweatshops and typing pools.

They like to be able to see the backs of their heads.”

The perceived benefits for workers are clear.

While 37 percent of the companies in Galinsky’s report cite retention of employees as the main reason for developing workplace flexibility and other programs, Lister said 90 percent of teleworkers “feel being able to work flexibly improves their quality of life.”

And telecommuting may actually boost productivity, at least where it stands in the number of hours worked, said researchers Mary C. Noonan and Jennifer L. Glass in a study of telecommuting published last June in the Monthly Labor Review, a publication of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Lawmakers: Obama overtures might break budget logjam WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican lawmakers said Sunday they welcome President Barack Obama’s courtship and suggested the fresh engagement between the White House and Congress might help yield solutions to the stubborn budget battle that puts Americans’ jobs at risk.

Yet the lawmakers cautioned that years of hurt feelings were unlikely to heal simply because Obama dined last week with Republican lawmakers. They also said they would not to rush too quickly into Obama’s embrace during three scheduled, and unusual, visits to Capitol Hill next week to win them over.

“He is moving in the right direction. I’m proud of him for doing it. I think it’s a great thing,” Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said. “I’m welcoming (him) with open arms. I think the president is tremendously sincere.

I don’t think this is just a political change in tactic. I think he would actually like to solve the problems of this country.”

The White House charm offensive comes as automatic spending cuts have begun to take hold, and if Washington does not block them, they could cut jobs as varied as air traffic controllers, meat inspectors and Head Start teachers.

“I hope that this is sin-

cere,” said Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, who lunched with Obama at the White House last week.

“We had a very good, frank exchange. But the proof will be in the coming weeks as to whether or not it’s a real, sincere outreach to find common ground.”

His close friend, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., said lawmakers were unlikely to become fast friends with Obama after four years of being vilified in private and, in some cases, public. “I hope that he’s genuine. But I don’t think we’re going to be doing the Harlem Shake any time soon together,” Gardner said.

BRIEFLY 7 foreign hostages killed in Nigeria KANO, NIGERIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Radical Islamic fighters killed seven foreign hostages in Nigeria, European diplomats said Sunday, making it the worst such kidnapping violence in decades for a country beset by extremist guerrilla attacks.

Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police, military, domestic spy service and presidency remained silent over the killings of the construction company workers, kidnapped Feb. 16 from northern Bauchi state.

The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silence only led to more questions about the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued inability to halt attacks that have seen hundreds killed in shootings, church bombings and an attack on the United Nations.

The latest victims were four Lebanese and one citizen apiece from Britain, Greece and Italy.

Britain and Italy said all seven of those taken from the Setraco construction company compound had died at the hands of Ansaru, a previously little-known splinter group of the Islamic sect Boko Haram. Greece also confirmed one of its citizens was killed, while Lebanese authorities didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately comment.

Nuclear chief: U.S. plants safer WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two years after the nuclear crisis in Japan, the top U.S. regulator says American nuclear power plants are safer than ever, though not trouble-free. A watchdog group calls that assessment overly rosy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The performance is quite good,â&#x20AC;? Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Allison Macfarlane said in an interview with The Associated Press.

All but five of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 104 nuclear reactors were performing at acceptable safety levels at the end of 2012, Macfarlane said, citing a recent NRC report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t engage that many reactors and not have a few that are going to have difficulty,â&#x20AC;? she said.

But the watchdog group, the Union of Concerned Scientists, has issued a scathing report saying nearly one in six U.S. nuclear reactors experienced safety breaches last year, in part because of weak oversight. The group accused the NRC of â&#x20AC;&#x153;tolerating the intolerable.â&#x20AC;?

Using the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own data, the scientists group said 14 serious incidents, ranging from broken or impaired safety equipment to a cooling water leak, were reported last year. Over the past three years, 40 of the 104 U.S. reactors experienced one or more serious safety-related incidents that required additional action by the NRC, the report said.

Security risks, frayed relations dog U.S., Afghans

By Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A series of security problems and fractured relations with Afghan leaders plagued Defense Secretary Chuck Hagelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first trip here as Pentagon chief, including the Afghan presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accusations that the U.S. and the Taliban are working in concert to show that violence in the country will worsen if most coalition troops leave.

The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Joseph Dunford, quickly rejected the charges President Hamid Karzai made Sunday as â&#x20AC;&#x153;categorically false.â&#x20AC;? But the accusations were just the latest in a series of disputes that have frayed relations between the two nations as the U.S. works to wind down the war and turn the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s security over to the Afghans.

Speaking to reporters shortly after Karzai made the comments, Dunford

U.S. SECRETARY OF DEFENSE CHUCK HAGEL, center left, shakes hands with a female Afghan noncommissioned officer under training during his visit Sunday to the Kabul Military Training Center. Hagel is on his first trip to Afghanistan as defense secretary. said the Afghan leader has never expressed such views to him but said it was understandable that tensions would arise as the coalition balances the need to complete its mission with the Afghansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; move to exercise more sovereignty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have fought too hard over the past 12

years, we have shed too much blood over the past 12 years, we have done too much to help the Afghan security forces grow over the last 12 years to ever think that violence or instability would be to our advantage,â&#x20AC;? said Dunford.

Dunfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments came, however, soon after U.S. officials cancelled a

news conference with Hagel and Karzai because of a security threat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just a day after a suicide bomber on a bicycle struck outside the Afghan Defense Ministry, killing nine Afghan civilians and wounding 14 others. Hagel heard the explosion from the safe location where he was meeting with Afghan officials but was never in danger.

The security problems compounded a series of flare-ups in recent weeks, including a dispute that has stalled the transfer of a U.S. prison to Afghan authority as well as Karzaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order to expel U.S. special operations forces out of Wardak province, which lies just outside the capital, because of allegations that Afghans working with the commandos were involved in abusive behavior.

Hagel met with Karzai Sunday night and said that he discussed all the key issues with the president.

He also rejected any suggestions that the U.S. is in

collusion with the Taliban. Speaking to reporters traveling with him, Hagel declined to detail his conversation with Karzai but said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he understands where we are and where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been, and hopefully where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going together.â&#x20AC;?

Hagel said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known Karzai since shortly after the invasion in late 2001.

The U.S. and Afghan leaders are in the midst of negotiations over the long-term presence of American forces in Afghanistan beyond the end of 2014, when all combat troops are scheduled to leave.

U.S. officials would not provide details on the security concerns that led to cancelling the news conference. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

But Pentagon press secretary George Little said the cancellation was not due to Karzaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earlier comments about the U.S. and the Taliban.

Opposition leader to run for president CARACAS, VENEZUELA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Venezuelan opposition leader Henrique Capriles announced Sunday night that he will run in elections to replace Hugo Chavez, launching what many consider a doomed candidacy with a noholds-barred attack against a government he said had coldly betrayed Capriles Venezuelansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trust.

Capriles slammed the government in his announcement for using Chavezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death to push the candidacy of Nicolas Maduro, who was sworn in as acting leader Friday.

He also called top military brass an â&#x20AC;&#x153;embarrassmentâ&#x20AC;? for publicly supporting Maduro, although the constitution forbids the military from taking political sides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fool yourselves that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the good and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the bad,â&#x20AC;? the 40-year-old candidate said to the government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no better than us.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play with death. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play with pain.â&#x20AC;?

Drones should be the last resort

After the fact How can legislation rewarding investments that already have taken place be considered an incentive for business?

L

et’s see now: You’ve already bought that new car, but under my “cash for clunkers” program — promoted as a way to entice folks to buy new vehicles — I’m going to reward you anyway.

Isn’t that a wonderful idea for you, and completely nonsensical? How will that entice you to buy a new car?

Well, that same nonsense is getting wrapped into a measure now making its way through the Kansas Legislature that is promoted as a way to increase investment in certain aspects of agricultural production, such as dairy and poultry operations.

The bill under discussion would provide more than $10 million in sales tax exemptions and corporate income tax credits to large enterprises involved in animal agriculture. The Brownback administration hopes the move will generate investment in production facilities for milking cows, laying eggs and raising livestock for slaughter.

The secretaries of agriculture and of commerce both are enthusiastically endorsing the measure, citing its potential to create jobs and crank up economic activity in the state. The so-called High Performance Incentive Program, after all, was designed to encourage future business expansion.

Unfortunately, this particular piece of legislation includes a provision that would dole out the same incentives to firms that made their investments last year. For some inscrutable reason, the Kansas Farm Bureau and the Kansas Livestock Association are supporting the bill.

However, even lawmakers have taken note that there is a difference between the past and the future. They say that the retroactive provision doesn’t follow the spirit of the original program proposal.

“I’m really struggling with the retroactivity of this,” said Sen. Pat Apple, a Louisburg Republican. And Sen. Tom Holland, who represents Lawrence and who is the ranking Democrat on the tax committee that heard the bill, echoed the concern.

Let’s hope the echo reverberates long and loud. Approve the plan offering incentives to encourage investments in animal agriculture, but don’t make those incentives retroactive to investments already committed.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Rand Paul made some dubious warnings about drone strikes on San Francisco cafes in his filibuster last week against the confirmation of John Brennan as CIA director. But his larger argument for clearer limits on drones is absolutely right.

Paul’s battle shouldn’t have been with Brennan, who said that as CIA director he wouldn’t have any legal power to authorize domestic drone strikes. Brennan, who has been trying to sort out legal rules for drone warfare, deserved to be confirmed, as he was Thursday. Nor was this battle simply with Attorney General Eric Holder,

“

Really, this is an argument with America’s conscience over what actions should be permissible as the war against al-Qaida moves into a new phase.” though he did use troubling language in responding to Paul’s queries.

Really, this is an argument with America’s conscience over what actions should be permissible as the war against al-Qaida moves into a new phase. The law can inform this debate about targeted killing, but as with the debate over torture, political leaders must decide that even if action might be technically legal, or effective, it’s morally wrong and therefore impermissible.

We forget how much we’ve debased these ethical standards in the decade since America went to war against al-Qaida and drones became the weapon of choice. I was reminded of this relaxation of our moral code by a for-

mer CIA officer who has been involved in many operations where lethal force was used.

The CIA veteran recalled an admonition from a top official in the early 1980s, when the agency began taking lethal actions against Soviet proxy forces: “Never do anything in the field that you know in your heart will shock the conscience of the nation when it becomes public.” That’s still a good rule.

During the early battles against terrorism in the 1980s, lethal operations were truly “capture or kill,” with a strong preference for capture. The CIA’s Counterterrorism Center worked closely with the FBI back then to secretly indict terrorists who had killed Americans overseas. It was understood that the targets might be killed, but the phrase “bring them to justice” wasn’t just a euphemism.

In one case, the CIA had planned to capture a notorious Palestinian bombmaker in a North African country.

The operation was scratched at the last minute because of fears it would embarrass the country where it took place.

Under President George W. Bush, the limits on targeted killing were clear, initially. In 2002, the president had to give the CIA special new authority to target se-

nior Iraqi commanders in the run-up to war. After the Iraqi surrender, many of the notorious “deck of cards” leaders were captured, not killed — including Saddam Hussein himself.

Drones changed the balance. They provided a new technology of retribution and became an almost addictive way of using lethal force without risking U.S. casualties. Drones do not capture; they kill. That’s why it’s so important to have clear rules.

Holder was so determined to keep presidential options open that he gave a vague answer to Paul’s question about targeting U.S. citizens on American soil. “It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate,” he said — conjuring up another Pearl Harbor or 9/11 when the suicide attackers were Americans. That answer worried millions of other Americans who fear abuse of government power.

Holder’s Justice Department also left too much wiggle room in its recent “white paper” on killing U.S. citizens abroad. The paper argued that such killing is lawful if the citizen poses an “imminent threat” and “capture is infeasible.” But it then fuzzes these standards by saying

CPAC should welcome Christie

It’s a safe bet that most conservative Republicans would rush to support a political leader with the following record, especially in a traditionally Democratic state:

Reversed a $2.2 billion deficit and brought it into balance without raising taxes, largely by reduced spending and eliminating wasteful and unaffordable programs, allowing for a projected fiscal 2014 budget surplus of $300 million.

Bipartisan pension and benefits reforms, saving the state $120 billion over 30 years.

Streamlining government by eliminating 5,200 government jobs.

Vetoing tax increase bills three times while cutting taxes for job creators.

Reforming the nation’s oldest teacher tenure law by making it conditional on teacher performance in the classroom.

Reduced property tax increases to a 21-year low and capped them at a maximum 2 percent.

There’s more, but shouldn’t conservative Republicans be ecstatic by this record compiled by New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie?

Not the folks at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which decided not to invite one of the party’s superstars to its annual gathering in Washington. Apparently, the reason had to do with Christie upsetting conservative orthodoxy by saying something nice about President Obama for approving emergency aid to distressed New Jerseyans affected by Super Storm Sandy.

I’m all for orthodoxy, which some call principle. I am orthodox in many things,

Cal Thomas

“

tmseditors@tribune.com

Gov. Chris Christie is no liberal. He is proving his ideas work …” but in politics compromise in the pursuit of ultimate goals does not necessarily make one a compromiser.

Gov. Chris Christie is no liberal. He is proving his ideas work, which is why, according to a recent Quinnipiac University poll, he has a 74 percent approval rating in one of the bluest states in the country.

Conservative Republicans have a unique opportunity to present a positive, forwardlooking and reform-minded agenda at a time when most voters’ approval of government is scraping rock bottom. Americans are aware of the current dysfunction in Washington and may be ready for a creative message if Republicans could show them how a 21st-century model would mutually benefit themselves and the nation.

Former George W. Bush aide Peter Wehner offers some suggestions in a Commentary magazine essay: “First, Republicans should make front-and-center their plans to reform public institutions that were designed for the needs of the mid-20th century.

Our health-care and entitlement

system, tax code, schools, immigration policies and regulatory regime are outdated, breaking down and creating substantial wreckage. If I had to boil it down to a single sentence, I’d urge the GOP to develop its reputation as the party of reform and modernization. Second, Republican leaders at every level need to conduct themselves in a manner that not just reassures voters but appeals to them. As former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels has put it, ‘As we ask Americans to join us on such a boldly different course, it would help if they liked us, just a bit.’ ... Third, Republicans must resist the temptation of defeatism, enervation and turning against the country. It is entirely within the power of the GOP to both remain principled and appeal to a majority of Americans. An intellectually self-confident party would, in fact, be energized by a challenge of this scale.”

Read this line again: “It is entirely within the power of the GOP to both remain principled and appeal to a majority of Americans.”

A bold agenda that does these things reflects Gov. Christie’s record in New Jersey. By not inviting him to speak, CPAC invites comparison with a pessimistic and hypercritical political environment of the past. If the Republican “tent” isn’t large enough for Chris Christie, then it will resemble a pup tent for some time to come.

Republicans should be focused on deconstructing failed liberalism and styling their alternative in positive terms, not rejecting one of their own.

Hating President Obama is not a policy. Intellectually defeating his policies is.

— Cal Thomas is a columnist for Tribune Media Services.

“imminence” doesn’t require “clear evidence” of an attack “in the immediate future.” As for capture, it can be waived because of “feasibility,” “undue risk to U.S. personnel” or foreign objections.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein has suggested that the U.S. needs a “drone court” to approve targeted killing. But Garrett Epps, a law professor at the University of Baltimore, countered persuasively in The Atlantic online that using courts for such executive action would be unconstitutional. Epps noted the alternative possibility that drone attacks be reviewed by the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, an independent, bipartisan executive body.

These questions are urgent, as al-Qaida morphs into smaller spinoffs and the existing legal justification for attacks becomes more tenuous. The Washington Post reported last week that to attack alQaida offshoots in such places as Syria, Libya and Mali, the U.S. might expand targeting to what a source called “associates of associates.”

Drones should be a weapon of last resort. A positive sign was the report Thursday that Osama bin Laden’s sonin-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, has been captured, not killed.

PUBLIC FORUM

Watchdogs To the editor: March 10-16 is Sunshine Week, an annual nationwide effort to call attention to transparency in government and freedom of information. It is a reminder to us about how important it is to make our voices heard all year long, not just on Election Day. We all have the right to know what our government is doing — both its successes and failures. Exercising our right to know gives us — the public — power. It allows us to contribute to our government and hold elected officials accountable.

But these laws are only as good as we demand that they be.

For decades, members of the League of Women Voters have acted as government watchdogs at the federal, state and local levels. We monitor the City of Lawrence and Douglas County’s budgets, observe their meetings and hold them accountable.

Make your voice heard and join us in keeping Lawrence and Douglas County healthy, vibrant and strong communities for all. Our local website provides more information: www.lawrenceleague.com.

Ellis lone highlight for KU at Baylor

Title defense

Forage through wreckage long enough and you’re bound to stumble upon a hidden treasure, which brings us to Saturday’s 23-point loss to Baylor in the Ferrell Center.

Not everything from the game needs to be filed in the mind’s trash can. Before it disintegrated into a rout, Kansas University’s leading scorer, freshman Ben McLemore, had some serious help from a quietly improving teammate.

Baylor big men Isiah Austin and Cory Jefferson combined for seven of the team’s eight blocked shots, and the figure might have reached double figures if not for the fancy footwork of KU freshman Perry Ellis.

In a second-half span that took just 2:44 off the clock, Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo Ellis totaled six points, a rebound, an assist and a steal, KANSAS’ JEFF WITHEY (5) AND BAYLOR’S A.J.

Hosmer key in USA rally at WBC PHOENIX (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Running out of outs, Adam Jones and the United States suddenly broke loose and saved themselves from a humbling loss.

Now, thanks to a fast finish, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading to Miami for the next round of the World Baseball Classic.

Jones doubled in the tying and go-ahead runs in the eighth inning, Eric Hosmer hit a threerun double in the ninth and the U.S. scored seven times in the last two innings to beat Canada 9-4 on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Words canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t describe it,â&#x20AC;?

Hosmer said, recalling how he felt standing on second after his big hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is hard to hold your emotions right there. It is just an unbelievable feeling and when you hear the crowd chant â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the other crowd chanting

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Canada.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It is an unbelievable experience.â&#x20AC;?

The winner of the game moved on, the loser went home.

And for a long while, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look good for manager Joe Torreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would have been embarrassing,â&#x20AC;? second baseman Brandon Phillips said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have been embarrassed. USA this is where baseball started and we represent our country. I just feel that if we had lost we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do our job. We have to go out there and try to be the first American team to win the WBC. That is our goal.â&#x20AC;?

The U.S. trailed 3-2 after seven innings before erupting.

Team USA and Italy each went 2-1 and advanced in Group D while Canada and Mexico went 1-2 and were eliminated.

TUESDAY

By Drew Sharp Detroit Free Press

The Big Ten has been the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best basketball conference since 1998 in regards to number of Final Four participants and the densest concentration of quality.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve written and said that often the past 15 years. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a football power. Not even close. Its strong suit is basketball, because far more of the premier young athletes in the Midwest gravitate toward the hardwood rather than football because basketball can be a year-round endeavor up here for the very best.

Its excellence this season, at least relative to elsewhere in the country, is hardly the revelation some think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure that a part of all the excitement regarding basketball is because of the struggles some thought we had in football,â&#x20AC;? Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said.

But a strong showing in the NCAA Tournament can redeem some of the Big Tenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diminished overall reputation. Izzo agreed thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably more pressure on the conference than any other during what now becomes his 16th straight year in the NCAA Tournament. If Big Ten basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the national equivalent of SEC football, that demands a dominant postseason â&#x20AC;&#x201D; culminating in a national championship. But should the Big Ten disappointingly stumble through the early stages of the NCAA tournament considering it boasts four of the top-15 teams nationally, it will become a greater embarrassment than its laughable football exploits for one important reason: The teams were expected to be very good in basketball because they usually are.

The closest comparison would be the Big East in 2009.

The conference had three teams ranked in the top five in the final regular-season coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poll â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four teams ranked in the top 10. The Big East also had three NCAA top seeds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Louisville, Pittsburgh and Connecticut.

The Big East went 6-1 in the first round. It advanced five teams into the Sweet 16, four teams into the Elite Eight and two teams into the Final Four.

That the Big Ten has a significant basketball presence this season is only a shock to those only now paying more attention to college basketball than previously.

Basketball and the further growth potential it brings to the Big Ten Network will dictate the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion strategy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inevitable the conference will balloon to 16 teams. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a matter of time before Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany comes knocking on the ACC door again, this time looking to poach two teams to join the soon ACC-departed Maryland in the Big Ten.

MITCH SEAVEY AND HIS TEAM PASS UP PERFECTLY SERVICEABLE TRANSPORTATION Sunday near Unalakleet, Alaska, with 250 miles of Bering Sea coastline left in the thousand-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

Woods adds Cadillac title as Masters approaches DORAL, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tiger Woods is hitting his stride on a march to the Masters.

Woods had full control of his game Sunday and never let anyone get closer than three shots until he had locked up his 17th World Golf Championship title. With a conservative bogey that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter on the final hole, he closed with a 1-under 71 to win the Cadillac Championship.

For the first time in five years, Woods has two wins before the Masters.

It was one year ago at Doral that Woods withdrew after 11 holes in the final round because of tightness in his left Achilles tendon, creating uncertainty about his health and whether he could ever get his game back.

False alarm.

Woods has won five times in the last year, the most of anyone Woods in the world, and he can return to No. 1 with a win at Bay Hill in two weeks.

He won by two shots over Steve Stricker, who might want to claim a share of this trophy.

Stricker spent 45 minutes on the putting green with Woods on the eve of the tournament, helping him with his posture over putts. Woods made 27 birdies this week, one short of his personal best on the PGA Tour.

Stricker, playing a part-time schedule, picked up his second runner-up finish in just three starts. He closed with a 68.

The Masters is a month away, and Woods is sure to be the favorite.

Rory McIlroy, the No. 1 player in the world, showed signs of recovering from his rough start to the season. He had a 65 and tied for eighth.

Woods won in January at Torrey Pines by four shots. He won for the fourth time at Doral, making this the seventh golf course where he has won at least four times.

Graeme McDowell, who started the final round four shots behind, made a birdie on the opening hole, but never got any closer. McDowell had third place to himself until he went for the green on the 18th hole and found the water.

He made double bogey, shot 72 and fell into a four-way tie for third that cost him $172,500.

Phil Mickelson (71), Sergio Garcia (69) and Adam Scott (64) also tied for third.

Kenseth holds on at Vegas LAS VEGAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Kenseth won on his 41st birthday for his new Joe Gibbs Racing team, barely holding off Kasey Kahne for his third victory at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday.

Kenseth earned his 25th career victory in just his third start in the JGR Toyota after leaving Roush Fenway in the offseason. He took the lead away from Kahne out of a late restart and fended off Kahneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chevrolet over the final laps, adding another trophy to victories in 2003 and 2004.

IDITAROD

Mushers three-fourths to finish ANCHORAGE, ALASKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A former winner of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race took the lead early Sunday and held onto it as he pressed forward along the Bering Sea coastline. Another musher was just 15 minutes behind.

With less than 250 miles to the finish line, Mitch Seavey was the first musher to leave Unalakleet, where he pulled into town earlier at 10:13 a.m. and was able to rest his team for about five hours. Aaron Burmeister pulled into the checkpoint just 15 minutes after Seavey and was the same musher who followed him out.

The mushers arrived at the checkpoint after traveling from Kaltag, the last stop on the frozen Yukon River.

The 1,000-mile race to Nome began with 66 teams at a ceremonial start in Anchorage March 2, and the raceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competitive start was the next day in Willow. Five mushers have scratched so far.

In Unalakleet, Seavey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 2004 champion and the father of defending champion, Dallas Seavey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was greeted by dozens of townspeople and awarded $2,500 in gold nuggets and a trophy.

Seavey, 53, made the 90-mile trip from Kaltag to the Bering Sea coastline in a little more than 121â &#x201E;2 hours, going at 6.72 mph in the nearly 1,000 mile race from Anchorage to Nome.

Four-time champion Martin Buser, who has led much of the race, was in eighth.

Buserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, after tearing up the trail during the first half, is now going slower than the race leaders. He may have spent too much energy driving his team on a blistering fast 170-mile run that gave him a four-hour lead that now has vanished.

The first musher to reach Nome will win $50,400 and a new 2013 Dodge Ram pickup truck.

Brown wins Puerto Rico Open RIO GRANDE, PUERTO RICO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Scott Brown made birdie on the 18th hole Sunday to go from a one-shot deficit to a one-shot victory in the Puerto Rico Open for his first PGA Tour title.

Brown closed with a 2-under 70. He earned a two-year exemption on tour and a spot in the PGA Championship this summer.

Fabian Gomez of Argentina had a one-shot lead until he went over the green and into a bunker on his third shot, blasted out to 15 feet and missed the par putt. He closed with a 71 and tied for second with Jordan Spieth. The 19-year-old from Texas had a 67.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Royals roll, 17-11 SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) — Albert Pujols homered for the second straight game, one of four shots by the Los Angeles Angels. On this day, that wasn’t nearly enough.

Jeff Francoeur, Billy Butler and Chris Getz combined to get nine hits and drive in nine runs Sunday as the Kansas City Royals beat the Angels 1711 to win for the 13th time in 14 games.

Pujols homered in the fifth off Bruce Chen. The star slugger, who had knee surgery in the offseason, also singled and walked.

The Angels received permission from the Royals to use Matt Young as a courtesy runner.

“After he’s seen some pitches, he’s starting to feel a little more comfortable,” Angels manager

Mike Scioscia said. “That’s what spring is about, just seeing some velocity and getting comfortable. He’s definitely seeing it well right now.”

The entire Royals team is seeing the ball extremely well.

After 20 hits Saturday to beat San Francisco, they got 18 against the Angels and top the majors with a .347 batting average.

Francoeur was a single shy of the cycle and drove in three runs. Butler doubled, singled twice and drove in four runs. Getz had three singles, scored two runs, stole a base and drove in a pair of runs.

“When you can do something like that it relaxes you,” Francoeur said.

“It’s spring training, today doesn’t mean anything, but confidence-wise, just

to have a good day feels good. At the same time I know I’ve got a long ways to go to be where I want to be for opening day.”

Francoeur joked that next time he is going to have Royals speedy outfielder Jarrod Dyson be his courtesy runner.

“It’s one thing Pujols got a pinch runner, but it’s another thing he gets the fastest guy maybe on the team besides (Mike) Trout to run for him,” Francoeur said with a laugh. “I wondered after he homered if he was going to get stopped and have him to come out there.”

Angels starter Tommy Hanson could not stop the Royals, giving up five runs on seven hits, including a homer by Max Ramirez.

He went three innings and his ERA soared to 10.80.

“I’m happy for all those guys,” Self said. “They are all very deserving. Individual awards are terrific, but I know our guys are focused on team achievements, which mean much more.”

KU tied K-State in winning its ninth straight Big 12 crown — the Jayhawks’ 13th Big 12 title and NCAA-leading 56th overall regular-season conference championship. Kansas had two players on the All-Big 12 first team for the second straight year and the sixth time in the last seven seasons. The Jayhawks have had two first-teamers nine times in the 17-year history of the Big 12, which began in 1996-97.

KU (26-5, 14-4) will meet the winner of Wednesday’s West Virginia-Texas Tech game at 2 p.m.

Thursday in Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

Nine in a row: Self on Sunday praised his team for winning a ninth straight Big 12 title. “The regular season is over. It was an exceptional regular season,” Self said on his weekly TV show.

“To go 26-5 after losing Tyshawn (Taylor), Thomas (Robinson) and Conner (Teahan) and have them play as well as they have for the most part all year long …

“We had a rough eightday stretch (losing three in a row), which has been well documented. We played poorly yesterday (in 23-point loss at Baylor). We also ran into a team that probably played the best anybody has played against us in a long, long time. That’s a talented team. They put it on us pretty good even though we cut it to six late. We didn’t play well down the stretch.

“I’m proud of this team,” he added. “Nine in a row for these guys ... five for Travis, four for Jeff, four for Elijah and two for Kevin (Young). Whatever it is, they all maxed out.

I’m happy for them and proud of them.”

a hybrid between a defensive end and an outside linebacker, that gives KU’s defense immediate flexibility on the field. Former Jayhawk Toben Opurum played the position for one season under Turner Gill in 2011, and Martin and Michael Reynolds are the top two players at the new spot on KU’s pre-spring depth chart. Martin, who played at Florida in 2011 before searching for a fresh start at the juco level, seems to be the one guy who Campo and Wyatt believe could be a difference-maker for the Kansas pass rush.

year compared to what they were forced to work with last spring. Remember, this was a position in 2012 without enough healthy bodies to play a true spring game. Because of that, significant reps last spring went to a walk-on, and Weis waited until August to switch one player from defensive line to offensive line.

No such measures are necessary this spring. Instead, Weis, Wyatt and

Campo can worry more about teaching the finer points of KU’s new defensive scheme, which was born out of the versatility the defensive line now has.

“I just think finally we have the personnel,” said Wyatt, noting that things will really turn up a notch when everyone arrives.

“We have more of the three-technique (inside) guys that we feel can play, and we felt we needed to find a scheme that can get more of those guys on the field.”

BOCA RATON, FLA. — Senior left fielder Maggie Hull tagged her 20th career home run, and Alicia Pille threw a completegame, two-hit shutout as Kansas University softball blanked LouisianaMonroe, 6-0, to win the FAU Invitational on Sun- Hull day.

Sophomore third baseman Chanin Naudin and freshman shortstop Chaley Brickey each drove in two runs against ULM (10-14).

Pille was perfect through four games before issuing a leadoff walk in the fifth, then surrendering a single to lose the no-hit bid. The only other hit she allowed was a triple, and she walked just two and struck out 10.

“Pille looked re- Pille ally good today,” Smith said. “She came out last night and didn’t look good, but came back this morning very mentally tough and had good command of her pitches. She attacked their hitters and got a little confidence when our offense got rolling. She did a really good job.”

Added Campo: “A guy like Chris Martin … we don’t have a lot of those guys. So we’ve kind of created something where we can move him around and get him into (different positions), and hopefully he’ll be good enough to put some pressure on the quarterback and give us a chance.”

Indiana takes title The Associated Press

No. 2 Indiana 72, No. 7 Michigan 71 ANN ARBOR, MICH. — Cody Zeller made a goahead layup with 13 seconds left and altered Trey Burke’s shot at the other end, lifting Indiana to a victory over Michigan on Sunday that gave the Hoosiers their first outright Big Ten title in two decades.

The Hoosiers (26-5, 144) trailed by five points in the final minute but took advantage when the Wolverines (25-6, 12-6) were unable to seal it at the foul line. Jordan Morgan had a fairly easy tip-in attempt of Burke’s miss that could have won it for Michigan, but the ball rolled off the rim and Indiana grabbed the rebound with 4 seconds left.

A couple of Michigan’s rivals surely wish the Wolverines had won.

Ohio State, which beat Illinois on Sunday, needed an Indiana loss to earn a share of the conference championship. Michigan State was in the same position before beating Northwestern later in the day.

Zeller finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds.

Victor Oladipo had 14 points and a career-high 13 rebounds, including seven on the offensive end.

BIG 12 WOMEN

Baylor, ISU in finals The Associated Press

No. 1 Baylor 77, Oklahoma St. 69 DALLAS — With the NCAA Tournament right around the corner, maybe this was just the kind of reminder defending national champion Baylor needed of how to hold on in a tight game.

Brittney Griner and the top-ranked Lady Bears might not be able to overcome these sort of mistakes as they get deeper into March.

Baylor had a series of uncharacteristic turnovers that fueled a furious late charge by Oklahoma State, but the Lady Bears never trailed in a 77-69 victory Sunday in the Big 12 tournament semifinals.

“It was good for us to a certain extent,” Brooklyn Pope said.

The Lady Bears (31-1) have won 48 consecutive Big 12 regular-season and tournament games — most by a large margin.

They have gone through the last two regular sea-

sons without a league loss and now play in their third consecutive conference tournament title game Monday night against No. 2 seed Iowa State (23-7).

“We’ve been beating teams by 30-plus. We’ve been getting bored out there sometimes,” point guard Odyssey Sims said.

“Having a close game like this wakes us up, makes us realize that just because we’re the No. 1 seed doesn’t mean we can’t be beat.”

Griner had 30 points, 10 rebounds and seven blocks while Sims and Pope each had 12 points for Baylor, which overcame a season-high 24 turnovers — 18 in the second half that helped keep the Cowgirls (21-10) in the game.

Destiny Williams added 10 points for Baylor and Sims had seven assists.

Toni Young had 22 points and 11 rebounds for Oklahoma State. Liz Donohoe added 20 points and Tiffany Bias scored 19.

Oklahoma State trailed by 17 after Sims converted

a nifty three-point play with 15 minutes left. The Cowgirls cut it to 72-69 with 1:34 remaining when Bias converted a steal into a breakaway layup, but those were their last points of the day.

“Very proud of our basketball team,” Oklahoma State coach Jim Littell said. “We went toe-to-toe with the No. 1 team in the nation. ... It’s something that’s a step in the right direction for our program.

We can build off this.”

Iowa State 79, Oklahoma 60 DALLAS — Anna Prins scored a career-high 32 points, and Iowa State (237) advanced to its first Big 12 tournament championship game in six years.

Chelsea Poppens, the other Iowa State senior starter, had 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Joanna McFarland and Morgan Hook had 12 points each for Oklahoma (22-10), which overcome a 22-point second-half deficit Saturday to beat West Virginia.

Heat 105, Pacers 91 MIAMI — Mario Chalmers scored 26 points on just nine shots, Chris Bosh added 24, and Miami won its 18th straight game, easily topping Indiana on Sunday night.

The 18-game streak ties the seventh longest in NBA history and is the league’s best since the Boston Celtics won 19 straight during the 200809 season. Miami will try for No. 19 when it hosts Atlanta on Tuesday night.

The win also gave Miami (47-14) a victory over every NBA team this season. The Heat lost both previous meetings with Indiana.

Dwyane Wade scored 23 points for the Heat, who controlled the game despite a season-low 13 points from LeBron James. Ray Allen added 11 for Miami.

‘Kings Point’ moving look at retired life We’re all going to get old. Unless we don’t. That’s a hard fact we live with every day. The Oscar-nominated 2012 documentary “Kings Point” (8 p.m., HBO) takes a bittersweet look at the residents of a Delray Beach, Fla., retirement home.

Many of the subjects of “Kings Point” have been in their condominiums since the 1970s, and have lost spouses, friends and family members. Most live alone, but they have one another, and occasionally admit they need that.

Some men and women couple up, while other feisty elderly women recoil at the thought of taking care of an “old” man. And they share these thoughts with colorful audacity.

W h i l e Kings Point is not as fancy as the Del Boca Vista home where Jerry’s parents lived on “Seinfeld,” its residents would not be out of place on that comedy. We learn that muscles, memories and hairlines may recede over the decades, but the human capacity for passion, jealousy, longing and loneliness never flags. It’s a film as frequently amusing as it is moving.

In exploring our society’s ambivalence toward aging, and our need for community as well as self-reliance, director Sari Gilman has found a thought-provoking subject. But more than that, she has uncovered a memorable cast of characters. This is very highly recommended.

Tonight’s other highlights O Another season of “The Bachelor” (7 p.m., ABC) concludes.

O The school’s fate is decided on the spring season finale of “Switched at Birth” (7 p.m., ABC Family).

O A tip about a massive sale of a dangerous chemical portends disaster on “Continuum” (7 p.m., Syfy).

O An old disciple catches up with Carroll on “The Following” (8 p.m., Fox).

O Andrew wades deep into Wisconsin’s dairy culture on “Bizarre Foods America” (8 p.m., Travel).

O The Ewings discover the shocking truth behind J.R.’s death on “Dallas” (8 p.m., TNT).

O Recordings of Vivian’s therapy sessions prove revealing on “Deception” (9 p.m., NBC).

O Violence hits close to home for Villanueva on “Monday Mornings” (9 p.m., TNT).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, March 11: This year your creativity flourishes and evolves. Others look to you for resolutions to their problems.

If you are single, you can afford to be discriminating when it comes to romantic suitors. If you are attached, your passion comes through in many ways, especially toward your sweetie.

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) +++ Take some time to reflect on an important decision. You might have mixed feelings when someone comes to you and shares a personal matter. Tonight: Get some zzz’s.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) +++++ A meeting could indirectly trigger a decision that points to a new path. You might find that others seem unusually supportive.

Tonight: Meet up with pals.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ A long-desired fresh start finally becomes possible. You might care a lot about a superior or a parent and want to share your feelings with this person. Tonight: Burn the midnight oil.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ++++ Listen to your sixth sense when dealing with a friend or loved one. Talk to someone you respect to get feedback about a decision.

Tonight: Use your imagination.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ++++ Deal with others directly on matters involving money and/or relationships. New beginnings become possible when brainstorming with others. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

and I was forced to admit that I do not believe as she does. Now, I don’t hear from her anymore.

What can I do? — Blue Christmas Dear Blue: Not much.

Your daughter’s lack of tolerance is not unusual for someone who has adopted new religious beliefs. Please try to stay in touch. Send her letters or emails letting her know you miss her and keeping her up to date on family news. Do not mention her religion or yours or the argument you had. We hope, over time, her stringent position will mellow a bit and she will contact you again.

have a lot to share. Don’t think that someone’s decision is a given, if it involves you. Tonight: Go with the moment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++ Recognize that a loved one might have a lot going on right now.

Do your best to chip in and help, yet honor your limits. Tonight: Time to relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ++++ Your solutions, though perhaps dynamic and workable, might evoke trepidation in someone. You have the ability to help this person work through his or her fear of risk-taking. Tonight: Rock and roll.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) +++ Stay close to home if possible. You might want to instrument a change in your household, or maybe you just need some more downtime. Tonight: Happy at home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) +++++ Verbalize your wishes in such a way that others will “get” your message. You might decide to take a workshop to improve your communication style — not because you have a problem, but because you care about others.

Tonight: Chat over a meal and clear up a problem.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ Follow a suggestion involving your budget. Buy a token of affection or a card for a loved one. Tonight: Hold off on making a purchase.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) +++++ You express unusual grace and caring. Use this gift well to clear up an awkward situation.

Tonight: Respond to a friend’s request for help.

Find us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/jumble

Dear Annie: My husband hoards cars and is too lazy to fix them. Now he is lying about money, saying, “Oh, this is set aside to fix the cars.” But I know he is frittering it away and wasting his time. He always has excuses about why he can’t fix the cars, but if that’s the case, why hang on to them?

We have more than 10 cars on our lot, and only one is really drivable.

Another is a collectible that he doesn’t like to get dirty. The rest are wrecks. He acts as if the drivable vehicle belongs to him, but he bought it for me when I graduated college as a replacement for one that was stolen.

He drives it every day, and I have to beg to use it. I have lost my mobility and independence, and he doesn’t care.

I work full time and bring in a decent income. He is retired and watches videos and put-

asically, when it comes replacing a lavatory drain assembly, if you can access it, you can fix it.

Step 1: Remove everything from under the sink and place a bucket or a dish pan beneath the sink drain. If a pan will not fit, place a folded towel beneath the drain to absorb any water spills.

Step 2: Avoid potential mishaps by turning off the water supply to the faucet before proceeding.

Step 3: The p-trap should be connected to the sink tailpiece with a metal or plastic slip nut. Loosen the nut by hand. If it is too tight, use a pipe wrench to loosen the metal slip nut or lightly tap on one of the wings of the plastic slip nut with a small hammer and chisel to loosen it.

Step 4: The far end of the assembly should be attached to a threaded wall piece with another slip nut. Loosen this nut and pull the wall tube out from the

pipe to remove the assembly. If the trap has been glued into place at the wall connection or if the threads on the old galvanized wall pipe have failed, it may be necessary to free the trap assembly by cutting through the pipe with a hacksaw. If this is the case, use a Fernco brand flexible coupling to attach the new trap assembly to the sawed pipe stub.

Step 5: Use the old trap assembly as a guide for purchasing a new duplicate assembly. Typically, bathroom sink installations consist of 1-1/4â&#x20AC;? drain pipe fittings with a 1-1/2â&#x20AC;? threaded slip nut to attach to the wall pipe.

Step 6: Clean the existing pipe and threads with a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution. Use a butter knife or small utensil to clear away any accessible buildup within the wall pipe. Be careful not to push any of the buildup down into the pipe.

Step 7: Slide the neck of the trap assembly up onto the drain tailpiece and lightly tighten the slip nut to hold it in place.

Step 8: Insert the tail end of the assembly into the wall pipe and loosely tighten its slip nut.

Step 9: Join the trap pieces together and hand tighten the slip nuts to secure the assembly into place.

Step 10: Fill the sink with water and test for leaks. Tighten slip nuts further, if necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda Cottin can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

OFFBEAT OCCUPATIONS: Not the average 9-to-5

Flower power planner

BY ADAM STRUNK

I

n 2013, the city of Lawrence will plant 31,000 flowers and bulbs and take care of about 30,000 trees. And someone has to oversee it all.

Enter Crystal Miles, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horticulture and forestry manager.

Miles is the woman behind the curtain when it comes to maintaining the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plants.

She decides what flowers the city will plant. She negotiates contracts with various plant growers. She organizes the labor and logistics to get the work done. And she even does a bit of gardening herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a balance between science and art,â&#x20AC;? she said about her job.

She should know â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing it for 32 years.

The science part of her job comes from her constant research and experimentation. She is always looking for the most insect- and disease-resistant plants to fill the medians, pots and flower beds dotting

Lawrence. If the plants are going to survive in the summer, they have to be tough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to grow things in hot parking lots that get 150 degrees in the summer time,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge.â&#x20AC;?

When plants arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing well, she must solve the problem. Healthy plants are good plants. They take less labor to maintain or replace.

The artistic aspect of her job comes from creating the â&#x20AC;&#x153;color shows,â&#x20AC;? which means planning what, when and where different types of flowers will be planted in the city.

This organizing is a big project and usually begins six months before any planting is done.

Miles gets together with other city horticulturists to plan summer planting. This year, much of the city will have pansies, followed by summer flowers and finished off with mums. They then plot their line-up to the minute details â&#x20AC;&#x201D; flower color coordination, height, timing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; using a computer program.

Miles then simplifies the final list so the city can get the most â&#x20AC;&#x153;bang for its

buck,â&#x20AC;? about $23,000 when it comes to flowers and bulbs for next year.

Miles said she usually negotiates orders with about five different growers within 100 miles of Lawrence. The city places an order in October and the growers supply them with plants, sometimes grown locally, sometimes shipped to the U.S. from as far away as El Salvador and Africa.

When she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planning, she is trying to keep on top of logistics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to be prepared for the season, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiring enough workers willing to be hot and dirty, or being prepared with the plants and what vendors grow the best plants, and just rebuilding some things that get torn up by the public,â&#x20AC;? she said She has to make sure the eight other people working in the horticulture and forestry department, plus seasonal staff, are keeping the trees, plants and flowers watered and well taken care of.

Miles has always had a green thumb.

She became interested in forestry while participating in 4-H Club in Leavenworth County. She went to Kansas State University and studied horticulture and forestry.

She started working for the city off and on

CRYSTAL MILES, who manages the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horticulture and forestry department, looks at some pansies, just some of the 31,000 flowers and bulbs that will adorn the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flower beds. since the late 1970s.

And after nearly three decades, she said the job has been a great fit for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allowed to be creative; the staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowed to be creative,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard work, too.

SPICY SIDES

NUTRITIOUS

Delicious Sriracha. My family is sick for the stuff.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple condiment made of chiles, vinegar and garlic, and for all intents and purposes is probably much like the ketchup of the Thai world.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spicy enough that most families could probably make a bottle last for six months or a year, but not this family. We go through it like crazy. I cook with it. It is an ingredient in probably 70 percent of my dishes.

Because what is good can only be made better with a dash of rooster sauce. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a topping, a garnish, and sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the main event. We love the stuff.

When Sarah and I decided on the beautiful red rooster sauce for this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column, I immediately started thinking of dishes that really highlight it, instead of the many dishes in my repertoire in which it plays a pivotal but minor role. I decided on Sriracha deviled eggs because the Sriracha sings a really beautiful solo in this dish. Everything else is just the backup orchestra.

SRIRACHA DEVILED EGGS

SRIRACHA SAUCE adds a kick to any dish, but Sriracha deviled eggs, above, and Sriracha-glazed Brussels sprouts showcase the topping.

6 eggs, boiled and peeled 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

SARAH HENNING & MEGAN STUKE 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1 teaspoon sweet and spicy mustard 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha (more if you like it hot) dash of salt Slice the eggs in half the long way and carefully pop the yolks out of the center into a medium sized bowl.

Add the rest of the ingredients and mash it all together with a fork.

I use a cake decorating bag and tip to pipe the stuff back into the egg centers, but you could just plop it in with a spoon.

Garnish with a streak or two of Sriracha for color and a bit of extra flavor and heat.

riracha is a Thai hot sauce, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not for weak taste buds. But for cooks looking to spice it up, try these side dishes.

NUTRITIOUS I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to freak you all out, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure the Sriracha glaze Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve created for this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delicious/Nutritious is the best thing ever.

Why? Because it is so tasty that my husband actually willingly ate Brussels sprouts.

To say that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the affinity for them that I do would be quite the understatement.

Add the promise of Sriracha, though, and he was willing to at least try them.

So he tried one. And then another. And pretty soon heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d eaten an entire serving of Brussels sprouts for the first time in his life.

If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a fan of Brussels sprouts (no judging), you can use this glaze and method with pretty much any other type of vegetable. You just might have to adjust the time. Try it with broccoli, cauliflower, small-cut yams, winter squash or something else. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work really well.

BUT: Just remember, this sauce was good enough to get my hubby to WANT to eat Brussels sprouts, so, even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid of them, you may want to try it with them.

You might just like it.

SRIRACHA-GLAZED BRUSSELS SPROUTS 2 cups Brussels sprouts, washed 4 tablespoons maple syrup 2 tablespoons Sriracha ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard ½ teaspoon coconut oil (or olive oil) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the bottoms off your Brussels sprouts and then halve them. Place them in a medium bowl.

In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, Sriracha, Dijon and coconut oil. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry if the coconut oil stays hard and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blend all the way, just mix it in the best you can â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll melt in the oven.

Pour the mix over your Brussels sprouts and stir vigorously to coat. Once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coated, pour the whole thing (including the extra sauce) over onto the parchment paper. Turn all the Brussels sprouts cutside up.

Roast at 400 degrees for 7 minutes. Flip them and roast for another 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with the extra Sriracha on the side for those who really like it hot.

Serves 2.

DIGGING INTO THEIR ROOTS Amateur genealogists try to grow knowledge of family trees, history

BY SARA SHEPHERD

J

oni Hughes’ obsession with researching her family tree started with a simple enough question.

She was looking for the first name of an ancestor from a few generations back. Finding that easily, she wanted to know more.

And more.

“Let me give you a warning,” Hughes said. “It’s addictive. You find one little piece of information, and you’re hooked.”

Boosted by the camaraderie of the Douglas County Genealogical Society, a number of area residents have made a hobby of unraveling the mysteries of their family trees — or trying to.

“You’re always coming up against some other thing that you have to find out,” society president Mary Burchill said.

“It’s what keeps it interesting.”

— Joni Hughes Burchill started researching her family history in the 1970s to see if she could become a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She proved that she could — thanks to ancestor and patriot Wentworth Dresser — and has traced her family back to its arrival in the United States in 1632.

“I think it gives you a feeling of where you come from,” Burchill said.

“I know lots of people say they don’t really care about

“Let me give you a warning: It’s addictive.

You find one little piece of information, and you’re hooked.”

DOROTHY AND HARLAN MILLER HAVE ACCUMULATED a lot of information and images of their families’ history in researching their family trees. Harlan has inherited many family photos, but, unfortunately, many aren’t labeled. “Instant ancestors,” Harlan said. “Got lots of those.” their past family. However, I think it’s important.”

When you’ve researched your way into a corner, Burchill said, it can be surprisingly helpful to brainstorm with others who are working on genealogy, too, which is the goal of the society’s informal monthly “Brick Wall Sessions.”

Harlan and Dorothy Miller laugh out loud together when asked whether their quest ever gets frustrating.

Both have been researching their family trees for the past few years and gotten stalled — or altogether stymied

— plenty of times. There were multiple generations with common names like George or John. Offspring given the same name as a sibling who died before them. The time Harlan finally realized that research his father started decades earlier was missing an entire generation; someone listed as an ancestor’s brother actually turned out to be his son.

When the head-scratching gets too infuriating, “that’s when you just close the book, or go to bed,” Dorothy said.

NEED HELP? Douglas County Genealogical Society holds informal â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brick Wall Sessionsâ&#x20AC;? from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. the last Friday of each month in the basement of the Watkins Community Museum of History, 1047 Massachusetts St. For membership information and some research sources, visit the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, skyways.lib.ks.us/ genweb/douglas/dckgs.

DOROTHY AND HARLAN MILLER HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING multiple branches of their family trees, accumulating a lot of information and images of their familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or pick up the paper, or go watch TV,â&#x20AC;? Harlan added.

Harlan recalls his father researching the family tree back in the late 1940s or early 1950s. Years later, Harlan pulled out the two boxes labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;genealogy stuffâ&#x20AC;? and started sorting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was more interested in my stamp collection,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when I got that pretty well caught up, I started on genealogy.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to fill in a number of blanks, but there are still some big mysteries. Like Lt. Henry Dawson, who lived in the 1700s and was supposedly married twice. One wife is buried with him but her grave has no name, and Harlanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever figure out whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife No. 1 or wife No. 2.

He has discovered other interesting tidbits, like the distant relative

who had, by two marriages, 16 children. Dorothyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made discoveries, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found out that my grandfather had six wives,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not all at the same time.â&#x20AC;?

A photo of that grandfather â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dark-haired and as handsome as one might expect â&#x20AC;&#x201D; graces the cover of one of Dorothyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two genealogy notebooks, both as thick as a fist and packed with scanned, printed and labeled family photos. The wife on Edward Racetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm in this picture is Amanda Racette, Dorothyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother.

Dorothyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research dates to 1594.

Of course her photos donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go back that far, but a thick list of names does. Unfortunately for Harlan, the family photos he inherited werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so well labeled, or labeled at all. He said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like the big boxes of old,

anonymous pictures one might see for sale in an antique shop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instant ancestors,â&#x20AC;? he lamented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Got lots of those.â&#x20AC;?

The Millers hope to travel to some of the areas their ancestors lived, in hopes of seeing graves and possibly courthouse records in person. In the meantime, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep researching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just fun,â&#x20AC;? Dorothy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus, when you have pictures, like me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like getting to know your family.â&#x20AC;?

Harlan said he likes â&#x20AC;&#x153;the hunt.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it is,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just keeps you going. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of like a mystery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get to the end.â&#x20AC;?

Not that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever find it.

Everything from avantgarde to ready-to-wear styles walked the runway.

EMILY KENNEDY

Recap: Kansas City Fashion Week

A

nyone interested in fashion knows that September and February kick off two important times in the fashion world best known as fashion week.

Although today the Midwest isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly known as the fashion hub where trends are born, Kansas City Fashion Week has innovatively revived the fashion scene with fresh new designers showcasing everything from edgy styles to bridal wear and everything in between.

The five-day fashion extravaganza began with the kickoff party on Feb. 27 at Garment District Boutique with a fashion show styled by local fashion bloggers.

By the way, I recommend you check out this place in Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power and Light District. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful space with trendy yet affordable clothes, shoes and accessories for men and women. Oh, and did I mention they have a full bar built right in the middle?

My sister, Elizabeth, and I had the opportunity to style a few models with clothing and accessories from the boutique. Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most stylish watched the models strut through the boutique while sipping drinks and socializing.

We were also able to catch the shows on Friday night at 28 Event Space, 1300 W. 28th St., Kansas City, Mo., and walked away with new trends to try for the upcoming season.

Everything from avant-garde to ready-to-wear styles

Â&#x2014;Â&#x2014; P¨AĂ?dy

walked the runway. Statement trends stood out to me, from the high-waisted trouser pants to the rock-glam jumpsuit with leather trim detail.

Jumpsuits are not typically part of my everyday wear, but I love their one-piece, no-fuss appeal. I like to call it the updated alternative to the basic dress.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved a good trouser pant, but I spotted a rich blue shade on the Kansas City Fashion Week runway that really sparked my interest. The slightly high waistline and clean, cuffed hems gave off a tailored yet artsy vibe.

The shows were dramatic, high-energy and captivating to say the least. As I was leaving the downtown warehouse scene, I realized that Kansas City has so much to offer as far as fashion, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m beyond excited to watch KCFW continue to evolve into its own fashion mecca.

ABOVE, FASHION BLOGGERS EMILY KENNEDY, third from left, and her sister Elizabeth Kennedy, third from right, pose with models in outfits the bloggers styled for the Kansas City Fashion Week kickoff party fashion show at Garment District Boutique in Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power and Light District.

Breaking up is hard but necessary

Double TAKE

Dr. Wes: Last month we discussed rules for romance, the first of which was to consider dating a process of figuring out who you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong with.

This comes up no less than 10 times a week in my office. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rule thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously true yet hard to follow, and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to put it to good use, breaking up will become a major part of your search for true love.

This week weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discuss tips for calling it off. Here are mine:

Never dump anyone you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want to break up with. People use breaking up as a threat, punishment or method of controlling partners. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a way of avoiding real relationship problems.

Breaking up should be a final ending, after everything else has been tried.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called breaking up for a reason.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ending the relationship. Instead, one of the most disturbing trends among young couples in the last 10 years is the double helix of friendship and dating.

People like the freedom they get from being out of a relationship but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the loneliness and hurt. So they try to have it both ways â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all gain, no pain. Instead, think of breaking up as deleting someone from your life: no hanging out, no postbreakup sex, no late night texts, no Facebook stalking. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done. Be friendly in the hall at school or at a party, but do not try to be friends.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take â&#x20AC;&#x153;breaks.â&#x20AC;? A break is an excuse for a dating couple to get busy with other people. Relationships are not fluid.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re either in or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out. If, instead, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of halfway sort of breaking up a little, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to experience full-on hurt for you and your partner. Plus, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better way to create jealousy after the relationship resumes than to rack up some random hook-ups in between.

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT

Avoid overprocessing the breakup with your ex. The dumped partner always wants to understand why. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth about a 20- or 30-minute conversation.

Instead, it goes on for hours and really amounts to a campaign to wear down the dumper and get back together. Moreover, if the dumped pushes hard enough, the dumper will accidentally slip and say something she means. And I guarantee he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it.

Katie: In February, my high school newspaper staff decided to publish interviews with romantic couples at our school.

By the time our deadline hit, two of the four weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d interviewed were no longer together, reminding us of one of the central qualities of teenage relationships â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they rarely last forever.

They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to. Young love is about learning and experimenting, so breakups are natural steps in early dating.

Here are my suggestions for making them as painless and useful as possible:

Take your time to decide, but not too

much. Stewing over cracks in a relationship for weeks or months can be as harmful as breaking up at the first signs of a splinter. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to part ways, do so before too much tension can grow in the widening gap.

As Wes notes, the uncensored truth isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always what your partner needs to hear. Then again, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not you, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meâ&#x20AC;? clichĂŠ is too predictable to be comforting. Be as honest as you can be without squashing too many feelings or throwing around blame.

Seek a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice, but respect your partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s privacy. Before sharing any secrets, consider whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want your partner (or ex) speaking similarly about you with friends.

Breaking up via text or social media is never acceptable. When the big goodbye comes from the impersonal face of a computer or cellphone, it carries the tacit reminder that the sender doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care enough to end the relationship with respect, and a permanent text memory of the event.

Even if a relationship ends smoothly, it might not turn into a friendship. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the breakup went poorly; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just another way of moving on. Instead of fixating on what may have gone wrong, turn toward the future with confidence in your ability to make it right in your next relationship.

OS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Many people get home from work in need of a trip to the gym or an exercise class. But the list of excuses is myriad, starting with that most precious commodity, time. Factor in a dog â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in my case, a rambunctious terrier mix named Beanie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that all thoughts of a workout vanish.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why, on a recent evening, Beanie and I hit the Zoom Room, a studio on La Brea Avenue in Hollywood, Calif., that offers workout classes (four for $120, 10 for $265) for dogs and their people. Together.

There were seven dogs in our cross-training class. Jaime Van Wye, who started the business and has trained police and bomb squad dogs as well as dogs that work with autistic children, was our teacher.

The dogs are expected to have basic manners: They need to refrain from barking through the class and must be able to sit or lie down on command. Van Wye, whose leggings were covered in dog hairs, taught Beanie in a few minutes another

basic task: to touch a palm with her nose when instructed to do so. The reward for good behavior? Dog treats.

The owners, meanwhile, did sit-ups, wall push-ups, steps, lunges and a couple of other exercises at stations around the room. (Equipment includes balls, balance beams, rings and other devices for two- and four-legged exercisers.) A human could get in 20 or so sit-ups at a time, but rarely without a break to get the dog to do its part: sitting still at the humanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do CrossFit at home, but heâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Paxton the Jack Russell â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;also needs to get fit,â&#x20AC;? said Jessie Simon, one of my classmates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bonding experience with the dog,â&#x20AC;? said David Essex, holding Windsor, a border collie-cattle dog mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is more of a workout for us, more of a patience thing for them.â&#x20AC;?

Beanie loved class. If she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always get the tasks just right, she was game for anything that led to a treat. But she was far from bone tired by the end â&#x20AC;&#x201D; our goal when she goes to the park.
