| Brownback says negotiated tax plan would have been better |

| Transit officials moving quickly to increase efficiency on little-used bus routes |
| Wichita transit officials are moving quickly to address inefficiencies in two little-used bus routes that survived the City Hall budget axe on Tuesday.Transit director Mike Vinson said his office should have proposals this summer to cut costs on the west-side connector and the Goodwill bus route in northeast Wichita. Both routes were proposed for elimination to bridge a $500,000 transit budget shortfall, but the city council chose instead to cut some citywide programs and maintain the routes.During that Tuesday meeting, council member Jeff Longwell said he wanted some cost-cutting ideas for the little-used west-side connector, which handles only about 52 rides a day at an annual cost of about $80,000. During a Friday transit board meeting, Vinson said he was looking at absorbing some of those passengers into other west Wichita routes, such as the West Maple and West Central routes.Read more |

Wichita improved to 2-0 behind Hinson, who tied for the Wingnuts lead with 11 wins last season.Read more |

| Shockers get back on track |
| Games at TD Ameritrade Park are endurance contests, where it is all about maintaining and waiting for the other team to flinch.Wichita State played that game much better Friday than it did Thursday, defeating Creighton 2-0 to even the final Missouri Valley Conference series of the season at 1-1. WSU regained sole possession of third place and can wrap up that spot with a win today.WSU entered the weekend with a chance to finish second in the MVC and enter post-season on an eight-game win streak, both goals that would have helped its NCAA at-large resume. After Thursdays 7-3 loss, the Shockers (34-23, 11-9 MVC) will hope they can win today, finish third and build on that resume in the MVC Tournament next week. Losing a series to the MVCs last-place team is likely disastrous to an at-large possibility.Read more |

| Wingnuts win season opener |
| The lazy fly ball Ryan Khoury hit to right field on Thursday gave the Wingnuts a chance to showcase two of their most important assets in a lineup complete with difficult outs.The ball didn’t appear deep enough to score Jake Kahaulelio from third base, but as soon as Stephen Holdren caught it, Kahaulelio took off. Holdren rushed the throw, bouncing it multiple times as Kahaulelio scored easily.Wichita has power in the middle of the lineup, but as they showed on that sacrifice fly and on two others in an 8-6 win over Lincoln, the Wingnuts are adept at situational hitting and with smart, fast runners who can take chances on the bases.Read more |

That’s what relievers — the good ones, at least — do and Vielock refused to make excuses.It’s all on me, not on anybody else,” he said. “That game is simply on me.”WSU’s 7-3 loss to Creighton on Thursday at TD Ameritrade Park was a bit more complicated than that. The Shockers didn’t hit, and that stuck the pitchers with little room for error. But the bullpen couldn’t keep the game tied in the eighth inning, and that meltdown also loomed large.Read more |

| Pittsburg States Beeler pursues javelin excellence |
| Faced with an unusual request from one of his star athletes, Pittsburg State track and field coach Russ Jewett didnt need to wait to give his answer. If Mike Beeler wanted to sit out a year, Jewett trusted Beelers judgment. Nothing more. It is unusual, but it was a calculated gamble, said Jewett, in his 23rd year as the mens coach. Mike just wanted to be the best thrower he could be & he just turned it into one really long, dedicated offseason is one way to look at it. Read more |

| Orioles beat Royals in 15 innings |
| This was a heck of a way for the Royals to see their four-game winning streak come to end by wasting seven shutout innings Wednesday night by Felipe Paulino before losing 4-3 to the Baltimore Orioles in 15 innings.Adam Jones crushed a 2-2 pitch from Nate Adcock for a 431-foot homer to left field with one out in the 15th inning.

| Micah Greens improvement mirrors Wichita States surge |
| Micah Green has long been a talented athlete learning to play baseball. There are signs his development may be turning a corner from potential to production for Wichita State. Green, a redshirt sophomore from Aurora, Colo., raised his average to .326 by going 3 for 5 in Tuesdays 13-2 win at Nebraska. After platooning in left field against left-handed pitchers much of the season, his bat is making him a fixture in the lineup as the Shockers (33-22, 10-8 Missouri Valley Conference) play at Creighton (21-26, 5-12) beginning tonight.Green is 18 for 34 (.529) in his past 10 games to give WSU a needed offensive boost. On Tuesday, he doubled twice and drove in three runs. The consistent playing time, against both right-handers and lefties, makes all the difference.Read more |

| Putting together a baseball roster essentially from scratch over a seven-month period can often be a painstaking process. Managers and front-office personnel welcome any chance for it to be made easier.The Wingnuts got a brief break from the grind when former major-league outfielder John Rodriguez called manager Kevin Hooper, his former teammate in Triple-A, to see if a spot was available in Wichita.The only time it took for Hooper to say yes was the time the word needed to travel from his brain to his mouth. Rodriguez hasn't played in the big leagues since 2006, when he helped the St. Louis Cardinals win the World Series, but he has continued to have success in the upper levels of the minor leagues since.Read more |

| Beautiful, healthy lawn is not for slackers |
| Consumer Reports recently had an issue with a cover devoted to the slackers guide to a great lawn. Those of us who have taken care of a lawn are no doubt tempted by the idea just as we are by pills that burn fat, tapes that teach us while we sleep and offers of a free lunch.No doubt there are easier ways of doing things than the way I do them, and if there is a way to make something more difficult, I will find it. The first thing that comes to mind is following my dads practice of working in the yard in my good clothes, thinking its not worth the trouble to change first: I wont be out there long. They wont get dirty. Of course, Im out there until my back wont straighten, and Im covered in dirt. So I slack, but in all the wrong places.Read more |

| Nautical trends ride wave in decor |
| Crisp, blue nautical themes are expected to dominate home decor for the next few months at national retail outlets such as Target as well as small chains and locally owned shops. Nautical is super-trendy right now, said Gary Godby, a manager at Trohv, a home store with locations in Baltimores Hampden neighborhood, and Washington, D.C. Its gotten super-popular. Its cute. It makes people anticipate the warm weather a little more. At a recent home furnishings trade show in Atlanta, he was struck by all of the water-inspired decor items, including throw pillows adorned by underwater creatures and accent pieces decorated with shells, rope and other objects associated with the sea. Godby said he knew he could have fun with the latest trend, starting with something as simple as a fresh coat of paint.Read more |

| ‘Star Wars’ up close at Exploration Place |
| A long time ago, in a movie theater far, far away, the lights went down and we were dropped into the outer space of “Star Wars.”We were given a few seconds to take in peaceful stars and planets before a gigantic white spaceship shot out over us with an almost unbearable weight, filling the top of our field of vision and shrinking us into awe.Now, with those memories replaying in our mind, we can be the ones standing over the Imperial Star Destroyer, taking in all the sleek white expanse of Darth Vader’s ship — all 49 inches long. It’s the model that was filmed for the opening of the original “Star Wars” movie and one of 80 artifacts that can be seen in a long-awaited exhibit that opens May 26 at Exploration Place.Read more |

| Garden Ware is meant to be hidden outdoors |
| Art pottery made by Weller is a favorite among collectors. The company made art pottery in Zanesville, Ohio, from 1893 to 1948. From the 1920s to the 1940s, Weller also made less sophisticated pottery for the yard called Garden Ware. Stone-colored birdbaths, sprinklers, fountains, toadstool seats, sundials and urns were available. Large, colorful Garden Ware figures were the most unusual. They were made in several sizes: 4, 7 1/2, 10 and 18 inches. Lifelike dogs, roosters, birds, cats, rabbits, pelicans, ducks, frogs and squirrels were produced, along with humorous frogs, gnomes and unusual Pop Eye dogs.Read more |

| Gardener’s almanac (May 19) |
| Plant Beans, cucumbers, eggplant, melons, peppers, okra, pumpkins, sweet corn, squash and tomatoes. More sweet corn, please Stagger sweet corn planting. Start a new row when the previous one is one-half to one inch tall, Ward Upham of K-State says. Bacterial wilt If you had cucumbers or muskmelons that suddenly turned brown and died last year, they may have had bacterial wilt, Ward Upham of K-State says. The cucumber beetle carries the disease. Once a plant is infected, there is no cure, so you have to try to prevent them. Young plants can be protected with row covers, cones or other barriers, Upham says. Seal the edges to keep the bugs out. Once plants outgrow the barriers, apply insecticides before beetles are noticed, Upham says, and continue to spray weekly throughout the season. You can use Rotenone or permethrin (under numerous trade names). Once plants have started flowering, spray late in the evening after bees have returned to the hive, Upham says, and check labels for waiting periods between when you spray and when the fruit can be picked.

| Expect to laugh, be moved by Expecting |
| What to Expect When Youre Expecting is a Valentines Day take on impending parenthood. Assorted couples cope with pregnancies, planned and unplanned, adoption and the epic change that is coming to their lives.Its wafer-thin, but it has plenty of laughs a lot of them involving pregnant womens bodily functions, the rest coming from Chris Rock, who unloads lots of daddy-to-be wisdom on one prospective father. But whats surprising is how touching this film from the director of Waking Ned Devine manages to be. Kirk Jones and the screenwriters found real pathos in adapting the Heidi Murkoff self-help book, dubbed Americas pregnancy bible. Elizabeth Banks plays Wendy, a self-help book author, a pregnancy expert who has never been able to get pregnant herself. Until now. She and hubby Gary (Ben Falcone) are all set to glow with the angels kisses of this miracle. And then her husbands ex-race car driver dad (Dennis Quaid) and his trophy bride (Brooklyn Decker) one-up them. Father and mother-in-law are expecting twins.Read more |

What I cannot tell you is any of their names and that, experts say, doesnt do anyone any good.Neighborly relations have declined in the U.S. since the 1950s, for reasons sociologists dont quite know, and lack of local ties is bad for crime and a communitys ability to organize for their interests, to say nothing of leaving you stranded when you need one more egg.Some 28 percent of us know none of our neighbors names, reports a 2010 Pew survey; its particularly pervasive among younger and lower-income people.Read more |

| Upscale homemade sauces make the perfect topping |
| It isn’t a backyard cookout without a trifecta of condiments — the elongated red, squat yellow and plump white containers. They’re intended to add zip, zing and zest but somehow, no matter where you go, they’re almost always the same. And every squirt of those ubiquitous plastic squeeze bottles offers a reminder that no matter how much effort you’ve put into building a better burger, you’ve phoned it in on the finishing touches.If you’re the type to make your burgers from grass-fed beef and potato salad with heirloom spuds, busting out the plastic squeeze bottles for a meal like that is like decorating a pair of Jimmy Choos with those plastic thingamajigs for Crocs.Perhaps this is the year to give the heave-ho to Heinz and its commercial compatriots and make your own condiments.

| Bonnie Aeschliman: Cooking-related gifts for grads |
| With new graduates striking out on their own, what kinds of things would make great gifts for these young people as they are on the threshold of a new life? New grads often start with hand-me-downs from Mom’s kitchen, but they will appreciate having a few new things as they begin their new independent living.How many graduates can make a meal for themselves or to share with a friend? Being able to prepare a simple delicious meal or pulling a homemade pizza out of the oven is quite an accomplishment and will be a skill they will use time and again. Perhaps the gift that would render the most benefit would be a series of cooking classes geared for the beginner. One thing for sure, he or she will be eating better and more economically. That is quite an accomplishment. Learning how to cook will be a lifelong skill — what a gift.Setting up a kitchen is a fun project. Other gift ideas would include a good cookbook or two, quality gadgets, equipment and cookware. With the right tools, cooking becomes easier, fun and actually a form of entertainment. Read more |

| Drs. Oz and Roizen: Celiac disease affects many |
| Celiac is a politically unbiased autoimmune disease. It seems both Chelsea Clinton and Elizabeth Hasselbeck have it and can’t stomach the same things. Gluten-containing foods — wheat, rye, barley, some oats and many prepared foods — are off their menu. Celiac is 40 times more common than docs used to think, possibly affecting as many as one in 133 in North America. And if your parents, sibs or kids have celiac, there’s a one in 22 chance you do, too.Celiac is woefully underdiagnosed. Millions are at risk for its complications, including GERD and osteoporosis (in adults), and anemia, abdominal pain and growth deficiencies (in children), not to mention epilepsy and irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation).

| Eat Smart: Before grilling, consider what goes on your skewers |
| Skewered foods are fun to grill and perfect for portion control, but you have to be careful about what goes on the skewers. You often see meat sharing space with vegetables, which isnt the best approach unless your execution is perfect. Too often, the vegetables end up charred on the edges and raw within.My solution is to skip the veggies and use pineapple, whose flavor is enhanced by just a short time on the grill. I sometimes pair it with pork, but here Ive chosen chicken. Ive added an herb-and-chili-pepper wet rub thats great with both the poultry and the fruit.Youll need 8 medium-length wooden skewers. For this recipe, rather than soaking them in water to prevent burning, I use aluminum foil to shield the exposed ends from the grills heat.Read more |

| Shades for all face shapes |
| Its fun to put on a pair of big sunglasses and think how you look just like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys or Jackie O on a yacht. Then you check in the mirror, and its not exactly a dead ringer. Dont despair: Maybe the shape of your face isnt right for that style, but theres still hope. If youre after the hottest look of the season, get the best version for you. If theres a style you like, theres probably a variation of that style that will work for you, says Jason Bell, co-owner of Specs Eyewear. There are old fashion rules about face shapes and what glasses you should wear, but fashion and trends dictate what people wear more than those rules, he said.Read more |

| Some dos and donts for graduates |
| Back in the fall, I was in our basement laundry room (I call it the dungeon ) when the phone rang. I was surprised that it was Wichita State University President Don Beggs. I was stunned when he explained that he was calling to tell me that he was going to present the Presidents Medal to me in December at commencement. I was shocked when he explained that meant I would give the commencement address. It was too much to take in. I sat down on a heaping basket of dirty laundry and tried not to cry. I wondered if he and his wife, Shirley, who is my dear friend, had conjured up a funny joke, but he sounded much too sincere. My second thought was, Please dont let him look at my transcript. Me, a commencement speaker? Oh my.It was an honor and especially thrilling because its the last Presidents Medal he will present.Since December, Ive had several people suggest that I publish my speech in this column. Ive been asked for a copy of it by some of the grads and parents. The surprises just keep coming. Anyway, since its graduation time for many people in the area, I thought Id go ahead and print it, with just a few tweaks. After a few remarks to the 6,000 people in Koch Arena, I said:Read more |

| Outdoor concerts on tap for summer in Wichita |
| The steam has picked up on Wichitas music scene so much that the Sedgwick County Zoo is bowing out of its summer concert series this year, zoo director Mark Reed said. Theres been a massive rebirth of music in Wichita, between Intrust Arena, Hartman Arena, Old Town, the Orpheum, the Cotillion, Reed said. Its not our core business. We made money last year, but we made a heck of a lot more money three years ago. We will continue to have concerts, but not a series. Several other summer concert series in the great outdoors are still on tap for the summer in the Wichita area with two already started and many of them are free.Read more |

| Chris Mann: Behind-the-scenes drama overshadowed the music on The Voice |
| Two days after he was named fourth place (or as I prefer to call it, third runner-up) on the season finale of the NBC singing competition The Voice, Chris Mann was still trying to sort it all out.Calling from Los Angeles on Thursday, Mann was subdued and a little hoarse from what sounded like 36 straight hours of post-show festivities. The Wichita native, who survived weeks of competition and dozens of other talented contestants to make it into the final four, said he was both relieved to be done with the strenuous process and still grateful and in disbelief about how far he made it and how much exposure he got.Read more |

| Expect lower gas prices heading into Memorial Day |
| If you're lucky enough to live in some parts of the United States, you may see gas pump prices fall to around $3.25 a gallon or less in the next week or two. Even West Coast drivers should get some relief from prices that are still above $4 a gallon.Retail gasoline prices dropped by a penny to a national average of $3.71 per gallon on Friday. That's 22 cents less than the high of $3.94 per gallon reached in early April. Lower oil prices are the main reason. Weaker demand is also helping to push down prices, as consumers watch their spending in the sluggish economic recovery.Motorists on the West Coast, in Illinois and New York are paying the most for gas - from $3.83 per gallon to $4.54 per gallon - according to AAA, Wright Express and the Oil Price Information Service. The lowest prices, from $3.39 to $3.51 per gallon, were in the South and parts of the Midwest.Read more |

| Jobless rate drops for Wichita area |
| The Wichita area unemployment rate dropped significantly in April, falling to 6.9 percent from 7.8 percent in March, according to data from the state Department of Labor.The gain in employment is real, but may not mean real improvement in the economy because the rate isnt adjusted to take out the usual seasonal hiring and firing. This sluggish growth is reflective of what is happening in the national economy as gross domestic product growth has slowed, creating an environment that is not favorable for steady job growth, said Kansas Department of Labor economist Tyler Tenbrink.Read more |

| Catherine of Aragon Married by Proxy to Arthur, Prince of Wales (1499) |
| Catherine of Aragon is known as the first of King Henry VIII's six wives, but before they were wed, she was married to his older brother Arthur. Catherine was the youngest daughter of Spain's Ferdinand II and Isabella I, and her marriage to Arthur was primarily political. In fact, Arthur and Catherine were married by proxy before they had even met, in a ceremony attended by their representatives. The marriage was short-lived, as Arthur died young. When did Arthur and Catherine finally meet? Discuss |

| Mount Saint Helens Erupts (1980) |
| Beginning in mid-March 1980, a series of earth tremors and steam explosions at Washington's Mount Saint Helens suggested that the volcano—dormant since 1857—was on the verge of erupting. Then, on May 18, the entire north side of the mountain exploded in a cloud of ash, rock, and fiery gases that collapsed a good part of it and carried debris for many miles. About 60 people were killed, and millions of tons of ash blanketed much of the American northwest. How far did the ash eventually spread? |

| Muhammad Ali Becomes Wali of Egypt (1805) |
| Four years after Ali, an Ottoman army commander, helped drive Napoleon from Ottoman-ruled Egypt, he was named wali—governor—of Egypt. He helped modernize Egypt and attempted to secure its independence. Though unsuccessful, his efforts established his progeny as the rulers of Egypt and Sudan for nearly 150 years and rendered Egypt a de facto independent state. He is thus considered one of the fathers of modern Egypt. How did Ali trick Egypt's Mameluke leaders into walking into a massacre? |

| 10 Ways to Use Low Fat Yogurt |
|
Slash fat and calories by using low-fat yogurt in place of sour cream, cream, and mayonnaise in savory dishes. You can use low-fat yogurt in and on desserts, and in all kinds of other recipes, too. Fat-free yogurt, especially nonfat Greek yogurt, which is naturally thick and creamy, can also be used in many recipes, even cooked dishes.

| Blueberry Banana Bread |
| Warm banana bread out of the oven is hard to beat. Warm blueberry banana bread is even more so. This sweet treat is made healthier by using low fat buttermilk and heart-healthy canola oil instead of butter, and replacing a little more than half of the flour with whole wheat pastry flour. Why whole wheat pastry flour? It has less gluten, which makes for more tender quick breads, cakes and muffins, yet it still provides a nice boost of fiber.

| Low Fat Recipes for Mother's Day |
| In my world, there are two Mother's Days: the U.K. one, known as Mothering Sunday, which falls in March, where I remember my mom (actually, "mum"), and the U.S. one, which is on May 13th this year, when my two girls will scurry about semi-furtively, planning some culinary masterpiece. It's been a few years since they proudly served brightly colored cereal drowned in chocolate milk, and burned toast. These days, they've become quite accomplished at making eggs and pancakes from scratch.
If it's your turn to treat mom this year, I have 10 low-fat Mother's Day recipes that should fit the bill, ranging from delicious breakfast or brunch options to dinner and dessert.
