Christmas Eve
Snow Storm
The Downtown area gave off a red glow on
Christmas Eve.
A Christmas
To Remember
It was beautiful. Well, it was beautiful
if you didn’t need to travel to grandmothers house on Christmas Day.
Christmas eve the snow started falling
all over the state a Kansas and did not
stop until people started saying that they
would stay home for Christmas.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and
Nebraska all had major highways
blocked by the storm
Here in Manhattan it made for a beautiful night. With the hard snow and all of
the city and Christmas lights...it was
truly beautiful.

Future-Minded People Make Better Decisions
By: Erinn Barcomb-Peterson
KSU News Service
When New Year’s Eve rolls
around and you’re deciding whether
to have another glass of champagne,
your decision may be predicted by
your perspective of the future.
A pair of Kansas State University
researchers found that people who
tend to think in the long term are
more likely to make positive decisions about their health, whether it’s
how much they drink, what they eat,
or their decision to wear sunscreen.
“If you are more willing to pick
later, larger rewards rather than taking the immediate payoff, you are
more future-minded than presentminded,” said James Daugherty, a
doctoral student in psychology who
led the study. “You’re more likely to
exercise and less likely to smoke and
drink.”
Daugherty conducted the research
with Gary Brase, K-State associate
professor of psychology. The
research was presented in November
at the Society for Judgment and
Decision Making conference in
Boston. It also appears in the January
2010 issue of the journal Personality
and Individual Differences.
In addition to comparing people’s
perspectives on time with their health
behaviors, the researchers also want-
ed to see what type of time perspective measurements are better at predicting health behaviors.
To answer both of these questions,
Daugherty and Brase had subjects —
college students, with an average age
of 19 years old — answer surveys
about whether they think in the short
term or the long term.
“College students tend to be more
future-minded by definition because
they go to college rather than get a
job right out of high school,” Brase
said.
One survey asked cognitive psychology questions like “Would you
prefer $35 today or $45 in 35 days?”
The other surveys used two types of
social psychology methods. These
included having the subjects rate the
extent to which they agree with statements like “I am willing to sacrifice
my immediate happiness or wellbeing in order to achieve future outcomes.”
The subjects then took surveys that
asked questions like how often they
ate breakfast, used tobacco and exercised, as well as their concerns with
health risks like high cholesterol and
contracting AIDS.
Daugherty and Brase found that
the subjects who gave future-minded
answers in the initial surveys were
more likely to report healthy behaviors in the latter survey. They said
this could have consequences for
how people deal with negative health
behaviors.
“There is a lot of potential for helping people make better health decisions,” Brase said. “People who tend
to have a very present-minded perspective will have an easier time following through with a change if they
can see rewards sooner. So if somebody goes into a weight loss center,
the clinicians could measure a
client’s time perspective. Then the
clinicians would know the more
effective way of helping the client
reach his or her weight loss goal.”
Daugherty said a present-minded
person could be encouraged by
emphasizing minimal investment
now for a quick payoff in the near
future. He said it’s similar to exercise
equipment commercials that tout by
exercising 20 minutes a day, several
times a week, you will see immediate
payoffs.
“You promote the idea that you
have to do very little and you’re
going to see these great results,”
Daugherty said.
He and Brase also found that by
asking social psychology questions to
determine whether someone was
future-minded or present-minded, the
researchers were better able to predict subjects’ health behaviors.

Kansas State Researchers In
Demand By National Media
ANHATTAN REE RESS
By: Beth Bohn
KSU News Service
From food safety to the use of
social media like Twitter and
Facebook, the expertise of
Kansas
State
University
researchers drew the attention of
national media in 2009.
Some of K-State’s top research
newsmakers in 2009, according
to K-State media relations,
included:
* Doug Powell, associate professor of diagnostic medicine and
pathobiology. When cases of contaminated foods or food recalls
hit the headlines, Powell was frequently quoted by media. Among
his numerous media hits in 2009,
Powell was cited by the New
York Times in three stories and
by USA Today in two, as well as
mentioned by a variety of media
across the nation and Canada.
Powell and a colleague from
North Carolina State University
especially attracted media attention in the fall for their research
on getting college students to
practice good hand hygiene as a
way to stop the spread of outbreaks
like
H1N1
flu,
http://ow.ly/OZo5
* Juergen Richt, regents distinguished professor of diagnostic
medicine and pathobiology. As an
internationally known expert on
emerging infectious zoonotic diseases, Richt received national
publicity — including in the New
York Times, Washington Post,
Huffington Post, UPI, Reuters
and more — for his research on
the 1918 Spanish flu virus and
H1N1 swine influenza viruses
and other topics related to the
H1N1 flu, http://ow.ly/OYBo
* Dan Thomson, K-State’s
Jones Professor of Production
Medicine and Epidemiology. In
2009 research by Thomson and
other colleagues at K-State and
West Texas A&M University led
to the first licensed vaccine
against E. coli 0157 in cattle —
http://ow.ly/OYAL — and resulted in national media attention.
Thomson also drew numerous
media hits for his work as chair of
an international animal health
committee to develop beef cattle
production and welfare standards
worldwide. He was cited by
media from coast to coast, including the New York Times and San
Francisco Chronicle.
* Michael Wesch, associate
professor of cultural anthropology, studies how new media like
Twitter and Facebook are changing the way people relate to each
other. Among his many media
hits in 2009 included the New
York Times, Chronicle of Higher
Education, Christian Science
Monitor, CNN.com, YouTube,
Huffington Post and more. His
work also was cited by National
Geographic, http://ow.ly/OYAm
* Kate Stenske, assistant professor of clinical sciences.
Stenske’s research that found that
dog owners are more likely to
share germs with their pets by not
washing hands rather than by
sleeping with the dog or letting it
lick their face garnered numerous
media hits as did her tips on minimizing the risks of bites and biterelated infections from dogs and
cats.
The
stories
—
http://ow.ly/OYzK
and
http://ow.ly/OYz3 — were
reported in USA Today,
Washington Post, Los Angeles
Times, U.S. News and World
Reports, New Zealand Herald,
UPI and other media across the
nation and world.
* Phil Nel, professor of English
and a children’s literature expert.
Nel garnered much media attention in 2009 for several topics
dealing with children’s literature.
A book Nel co-edited, “Tales for
Little Rebels: A Collection of
Radical Children’s Literature,”
was reviewed in the Sunday New
York Times. Nel also garnered
attention from media across the
nation, including Reuters and the
Christian Science Monitor, for his
thoughts on the Harry Potter
series and the classic children’s
book, “Where the Wild Things
Are,” http://ow.ly/OYyb

KSU Wins Award For Recruitment Video
By Katie Mayes
KSU News Sevice
A new recruitment video inviting
potential Kansas State University students to come be part of the best university experience in the nation has
won an Ava Platinum Award.
The award is given by the
Association of Marketing and
Communication Professionals, an
international organization that consists of several thousand production,
marketing, communication, advertising, public relations and freelance
professionals.
The video shows the benefits of a
K-State education and highlights academics, athletics, campus organiza-
tions, recreation and the arts at KState.
“The new K-State recruiting video
is a home run,” said Pat Bosco, KState vice president for student life
and dean of students. “It captures the
very essence of our school and was
created, written and produced by KStaters, including current students.
The focus group feedback from
prospective students and parents has
been off the charts, so I’m not surprised that it has been cited as one of
the best.”
The video is available on K-State’s

City To Enforce Sidewalk Snow
And Ice Removal Ordinance
The City of Manhattan would
like to remind citizens of the
requirements of the snow and ice
removal ordinance (Section 3071 of the City’s Code of
Ordinances). This ordinance
states that snow and ice are to be
removed from sidewalks within
36 hours of the end of a snowfall
or ice accumulation. Failure to
do so may result in removal by
the City, with the cost of that
removal being charged to the
abutting property owner. Where
sidewalks are covered in ice,
application of ice melt, fertilizer
or similar de-icing agents may be
used.
Since the city received a measurable amount of snow that ended
on Sunday, Code Services began
citing residents for violating this
ordinance on Tuesday, December
29.
Brad Claussen, Building
Official, says that those enforcing
the ordinance understand that
some sidewalks may be blocked
by windrows from snowplows.
“In those cases, please do the
best that you are able in removing
the snow and making travel safe
for pedestrians,” says Claussen.
“Also, if you are aware of a
neighbor that is in need of assistance, please help out as you
can.”
Citizens in need of assistance
with snow removal, or those willing to volunteer to help others
should contact Nick Arena, 785587-4588.
To view full ordinance or to
report a suspected code violation
via email, visit the City’s Web
site, www.ci.manhattan.ks.us.
Contact Code Services with any
additional questions at 785-5874506.
state.edu/videos/videos/intro.htm
Tyler Traxson, the recruitment
video’s director and associate producer with K-State’s Educational
Communications Center, said the
video was a collaborative effort.
“It’s an honor for the project to be
recognized,” Traxson said. “It was a
major project with a crucial deadline
and I relied on a number of my colleagues
at
the
Educational
Communications Center and student
crew members to help with feedback
and support for the project.”
The award competition is judged
by senior-level professionals. The
competition offers several video categories, including public service
announcements, corporate image
videos, health care related videos,
animation, commercials and recruitment videos. Entries come from all
over the world and are judged for
their overall quality, creativity and
resourcefulness.
Besides Traxson, staff from the
Educational Communications Center
who worked on the project include
Tracy Gibson, broadcast engineer;
Cindy Jeffrey, producer/director;
Chris Jordan, administrative assistant
and cameraman; and Mary Molina,
associate producer/director.
Several K-State students also were
involved in the video, performing
tasks such as acting, camera work,
producing and writing. The students
include: Aaron Engelman, junior in
mass communications, Benedict;
Christy Chase, senior in mass communications, Leonardville; Seth
Chandler, senior in social sciences
and mass communications, and John
Grice, sophomore in political science, both from Manhattan; Derrik
Wiggins, sophomore in arts and sciences-open option, Olathe; Whitney

Thoughts From The Prairie
Null and Void
A New Year’s salutation is on the way
but first there are a couple of thoughts that
come to mind. The first is that this week
Congress did the best thing they have done
all year- they went home! The two chambers in the Capital are being aired out
while a lot of people are trying to figure
out how to void most of the shenanigans
that went on there the past few months.
Speaking of airing out, I understand the
CO2 cloud left in Copenhagen generated
by the 20,000 alarmists has dissipated
along with the hot air. We should not
expect this CO2 cloud to alter the course
of nature described by Professor Qing-Bin
Lu, a professor of physics and astronomy
at the University of Waterloo in Canada,
whose research indicates the beginning of
50 years of global cooling. Al, Al, your
pants on fire!
Michael Boldin at the Tenth Amendment
Center has a proposal for voiding the
destructive effects of the congressional
shenanigans and the Copenhagen nonsense. “The real way to resist DC is not by
begging politicians and judges in
Washington to allow us to exercise our
rights; it’s to exercise our rights [as
states].” The process is called
Nullification. It happens when a state exercises its sovereignty rights as intended by
our republican form of government whereby any authority not specifically given the
feds by the Constitution is reserved for the
respective states.
Boldin writes that, “When a state ‘nullifies’ a federal law, it is proclaiming the law
in question is void and inoperative…within the boundaries of that state. It’s peaceful, effective, and has a long history in the
American tradition. It’s been invoked in
support of free speech, in opposition to
war and fugitive slave laws, and
more…Our sources here at the Tenth
Amendment Center indicate to us that we
should expect to see 20-25 states consider
such legislation in 2010.” Boldin claims
that, “Twenty states resisting DC
can…stop the feds dead in their tracks.”
Dick Miller
A small business owner here in
Manhattan claims that five percent of
small businesses in the US withholding all
tax submissions for two months would do
the same thing! Folks, these actions may
seem drastic, but if the corruptive actions
of the federal government are not
realigned with our Constitution, America,
as we know it will become null and void!
Boldin correctly argues that the
Constitution does not enforce itself and
that “The time is long overdue for people
to start recognizing this fact, and bring
that enforcement closer to home.” In this
regard, a Kansas Sovereignty hearing is
scheduled for January 15 in the Senate
Hearing Room, 5th Floor, South Wing at
9:30 a.m. Let’s go see what that is all
about.
My small business friend claims it is not
the Obama administration that scares him.
“It is the people who are voting for powerhungry people that scares me,” he said.
And this brings to mind a thought
expressed by Lord Acton, a British historian and moralist, in a letter to Bishop
Creighton in 1887: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts
absolutely.” Lord Acton was fascinated by
America and opined that the Federal strucSee Thoughts on page 10

The Ibbetson WrightRoad
Victimization Index
Turn on the television, switch on the
radio, or open a magazine, and you are
likely to hear a discussion on the continual victimization of one group or another
based on race, religion, or gender at the
very least. Centered within this narrative
are the power-wielders with their thirst for
absolute control, and the helpless victims
that must continually gasp for air under the
boot of domination. The Ibbetson
WrightRoad Victimization Index offers an
easy-to-understand guide to what happens
when one group interacts with another, as
well as a no-nonsense evaluation of how
victimization works in the modern society.
The victimization index owes its conception to the work of Houston radio talk
show hosts Damon Rexroad and James
Wright (www.conservativefunhouse.com.)
Pondering the ramifications of interracial
violence, they came up with a numerical
system of understanding whether society
would react with praise or punishment to
an act of violence based on factors such as
race, gender, religious/political affiliation,
etc. I have been graciously allowed to
extend and develop the theoretical foundations of this unique concept. Before we
observe and apply the victimization index,
it is important to understand how victimization has come to be applied in this
country.
America is a very compassionate country. The United States has traditionally
been marked by the unique spirit that
includes a tendency to root for the underdog, naturally supporting the victims of
oppression, against those who would look
Paul A. Ibbetson
to dominate a lesser group or individual
for their own self-seeking purposes. After
all, the story of the throwing off of oppression is truly an American tale in itself.
However, the American perspective on
victimization versus the modern liberal
highlights vast differences in perception.
The founders of this country would have
seen their position as victims of England’s
oppression as a short-lived situation they
would resolve, and not a life-long label to
gain power through manipulation.
Unfortunately, the term victim today has
been hijacked, and its true meaning altered
from a descriptor of the oppressed to a
label often used by counter culture, antibiblical, special interest, and antiAmerican groups. The word itself—victim—now carries less of a connotation of
helplessness and need for assistance, and
is more often used to describe a position of

With the win, the Wildcats moved
to 12-1 on the season and are off to
their best start since the 1958-59
squad also began 12-1. Also, the last
time a K-State team won nine games
in a row was back in 1997-98, when
that squad won its first nine games of
the season.
Pullen led the Wildcats in scoring
for the ninth time this season
Tuesday, while Curtis Kelly chipped
in 17 points, Denis Clemente and
Dominique Sutton each scored 13
and Jamar Samuels tallied 12.
Cleveland
State's
Jeremy
Montgomery led all scorers on the
night with 20 points for the Vikings
(4-10).
Cleveland State scored the game's
first four points to take an early lead
but the Wildcats picked up the pace
offensively and defensively to open
up a double-digit advantage. With the
Cats holding on to a 15-14 lead at the
11:28 mark, a Denis Clemente threepointer sparked an 18-0 run to give
K-State a 33-14 advantage.
K-State's largest lead before the
break was 24 at 40-16 and it held a
40-19 advantage at the break. The
Wildcats shot 50-percent in the first
half and held the Vikings to just 26.9percent from the floor while forcing
12 turnovers.
The Wildcats extended their lead
in the second half, going on a 28-14
run in the first 12 minutes, capped by
a Wally Judge tip-in at the eightminute mark that extended the lead to
35. Cleveland State put together an 80 run late in the game, giving the
Wildcats a 29-point victory.
K-State dominated on the boards
in the contest, out-rebounding the
Vikings by a 50-30 margin. Senior

forward Luis Colon paced the
Wildcats in that area, pulling down a
career-high-tying 12 total rebounds
including five on the offensive end.
The Wildcats wrap up the non-conference portion of the schedule
Sunday when they host South Dakota
at Bramlage Coliseum. Tip-off is set
for 12 p.m. The contest will be televised regionally by Fox Sports
Kansas City and can be heard over
radio on the K-State Sports Network.
Head Coach Frank Martin
Opening Statement...
"I thought that we played well
from the jump ball. We missed pointblank shots for the first three minutes
or so. We got the ball where we needed to, but we just could not get them
to fall early. Defensively I thought we
started the game with energy. We had
a few breakdowns and breakdowns
drive me nuts. Our guys continue to
do what they have done for the last
two days, they just come out here
with a tremendous amount of focus
and enthusiasm, and we beat a pretty
good basketball team tonight."
On how Cleveland State started the
game...
"I told you guys, Gary (Waters)
does not back down. They do not
change what they do, they play hard
no matter who they play. That was
good for us and we needed it."
On defensive rebounding...
"It is hard to say that we can
rebound like that every night, but we
have to be closer to that than the
inconsistencies we have had other
times out. We can be a really good
rebounding
team.
Defensive
rebounding for us starts with not having breakdowns on that end of the
floor. We have to rotate which creates
help defense and in return, gives us
mismatches, which makes it hard to
rebound. Tonight we did not have
those breakdowns so we did not have
to rotate as much. At the end of the
day, it comes down to effort, and I
thought for the most part we tried."

Cats Rains Threes On
UC Davis For A 73-59 Win
KSU Sports Information
DAVIS, Calif. - Kansas State,
behind the strength of a season-high
13 made three-point field goals,
defeated UC Davis on Tuesday night,
73-59, at The Pavilion. The Wildcats
have now won three straight for the
first time this season.
With the victory, Kansas State
becomes the 11th program in NCAA
Division I history and the second in
the Big 12 (Texas) to win 775 games.
In the 42-year history of the program,
K-State owns a record of 775-455
(.630).
K-State saw five players reach
double figures led by senior forward
Ashley Sweat with 25 points. Also in
double figures were freshmen guards
Brittany Chambers and Taelor Karr
with 12 apiece and junior guard
Shalin Spani and senior guard Kari
Kincaid with 11. Kincaid led the
Wildcats with seven assists.
The Wildcats finished the contest
with a season-high 13-of-25 from the
three-point line, as Karr was 4-of-5
and Spani and Kincaid were 3-of-6
and 3-of-8, respectively. The 13 connections were the most since Dec. 29,
2006 against Rice in Miami, Fla.
Kansas State registered a .458 field
goal percentage and held the advantage on the glass, 38-29, including 14
offensive rebounds. The Wildcats
were led on the boards by sophomore
forwards Branshea Brown and Jalana
Childs with nine and eight rebounds,
respectively.
The Wildcats (7-6) built upon its
nine-point halftime lead in the opening stages of the second half to hold a
13-point lead, 45-32, with 15:13 to
play. UC Davis cut the lead to nine on
a Samantha Meggison steal and
layup, but Sweat answered with a
layup with 10:50 to play.
Sweat helped push K-State to a 14point lead with a personal run of 10

half with a 36-27 lead, as Chambers
closed the half with a steal and layup
before the halftime buzzer.

“Conscience of Kansas” ______________from page 4
power through entitlement. In
this liberal scheme, the majority
progressively becomes ruled by
the minority. In short, to be
labeled a member of a victimized
group is to gain massive formal
and informal power. The victimization index allows both for both
positive and negative consequences. Formal consequences
include the presence (or lack) of
fines and prison sentences, and
informal consequences can come
from news articles, television stories, reactions from family and
friends, etc.
The victimization index is a
numerical reflection of the modern liberal narrative of the most
oppressed to the least oppressed
and goes as follows:
Muslim Male
Gay/Lesbian
Black Male
Black Female
Hispanic Male
White Female
Hispanic Female
Muslim Female
White Male
Conservative
From the index it is simple to
determine the potential outcomes
(formal and informal consequences) “based on individualon-individual, (or group-ongroup) interaction” by simply
subtracting the index scores of
the person who initiates an action
with the person who receives the
action. After subtracting the
index scores, if the ending product is a positive score (+), the
more positive the score, the more
likely negative (formal and informal) consequences will take
place. If the end result comes out
to be a negative score, the more
negative the score (-) the more
likely positive (formal and informal) consequences will occur.
The scoring is as easy as it is
accurate. Let’s try a few examples
and then readers can apply the
victimization index as many
times as needed to demonstrate
its validity. How about when
looking at border security, Jim
Gilchrist, white male (9), calls for
securing the border and creates
the Minutemen Project that
affects, among others, Mexican
males (5). Well, that’s 9-5=+4
which brings about negative
informal consequences for
Gilchrist such as being called a
racist and being ambushed by
radical liberals while giving university speeches.
Let’s go the other way, Barack
Obama, black male (3), disparages a Cambridge police officer,
white male (9) with abusing his
authority against a minority professor at a university. Here the
math is 3-9=-6. Note we are over
half way up the positive consequences scale. So, Obama does
not receive the Nobel Peace Prize
for falsely injecting racial conflict, but instead is allowed to
have a beer-summit with all parties involved at the White House
and is later described as a grand
peacemaker. Conversely, Joe “the
plumber,” white male (9), asks
then candidate Barack Obama,
black male (3), on the campaign
trail a question about business
taxes and a much different situation occurs. Sorry Joe, but 93=+6 and it’s time to turn your
life upside down. When liberal
activist Jeanine Garofalo accuses
Rush Limbaugh of being the spiritual leader of a racist tea-bagger
movement, no matter how you do
the math (white female to conservative 6-10=-4 or lesbian to conservative 2-10=-8), Garofalo is
guaranteed book deals and TV
show appearance invitations. As a
person begins to fully comprehend the victimization index, it
becomes easier to answer questions of how an identified radical
Muslin, like U.S. Army Major
Nidal Malik Hasan, could continue to operate despite sending red
flags to so many people in the
military. It is not that Hasan
adeptly fooled onlookers, it’s that
few were in a rush to face the
consequences of testing the
index’s outer limits of being a
white male or conservative to
point the finger at today’s victim
“king” in the Muslim male (101=+9 or 9-1=+8).
The simple truth, is you can do
this all day with the same outcome; the numbers just don’t lie.
The lowest rung on the index is
the conservative (10), and it is
important to note that all identity,
(race, sex, religion, etc.) is taken
away from this person. To be a
conservative in the modern world
of liberal victimization is to be all
but faceless. The Ibbetson
WrightRoad Victimization Index
is not meant to provoke, rather to
describe the world as it currently
exists. As important as this current reality is the evidence that
this index is in continual flux. If
society has the capability to alter
our conception of victimization
then it must be possible, it must
be within our ability to lift triumph over victimization, and
success over failure. I not only
believe Americans can do this,
but I also see it as in our true

John Adams knew history and
the propensity of humans. He
wrote: “Our Constitution was
made only for a moral and religious people…The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure
Virtue, and if this cannot be
inspired into our People…They
may change their Rulers, and the
forms of Government, but they
will not obtain a lasting Liberty.”
