she said was unique. Bricke said because European higher education was highly subsidized by national governments, Europeans did not have the tradition of alumni gift-giving that American universities had.
"I think she has been very committed to campus international organizations," Bricke said. "She has been extremely hospitable to international visitors."
"Diana is so incredibly social." Pierron said. "Their house is definitely built to party."
Abby Pierron, Carlin's step daughter and Lawrence graduate student in museum studies, said Carlin was a great cook and often entertained international visitors at her home.
Carlin said she was a self-trained gourmet cook and food aficionado. She enjoys watching the Food Network, especially "Iron Chef America" and "Emeril Live."
Carlin, who is three-quarters Italian, was once featured on "jayni's Kitchen," a local television show. The show featured Carlin's recipes, including Caponata (an eggplant appetizer), Porchetta al Finocchio (Italian pork roast) and Pesche Ripiene (stuffed baked peaches).
"I think there's this image of professional women not having time or interest in that sort of thing," Carlin said. "But I do have a domestic thing, I like being at home."
Porchetta al Finocchio
> 3 to 4 pounds boneless pork loul
shoulder roast
> fennel leaves from one stalk of
fennel
> 6 to 10 garlic cloves, peeled
> olive oil
> salt & black pepper
To prepare the pork roast for stuffing with the fennel leaves and garlic, cut a lengthwise slit through the center of the meat, stopping short of the other end by about one inch. Remove the leaves from the fennel stalk. Save the stalk and bulb for another use. Cut the garlic cloves in half. Stuff about three-fourths of the fennel leaves and garlic into the opening in the meat. Tie the roast with string to keep the seasonings in during cooking. Make about 12 one-inch deep slits in the top, sides
and bottom of the roast and stuff the remaining garlic and femenile into each slip. Spray or brush the entire roast lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place the pork roast fat side down in a roasting pan and add one cup of water to the pan. Cook the roast uncovered in a 275° degree oven for four to five hours, until the internal temperature reaches 170 and the juices run clear. Transfer the roast to a warm platter, tent with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. The roast can be served hot or cold. To serve, remove the string from the pork roast and slice into one-inch slices. Serves six Option: Serve the sliced pork roast on cabbation rolls.

America votes off 4 hopeful competitors
BY ERIN CARLSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — "American Idol" slimmed down the competition Thursday night, leaving 12 finalists to compete for the ultimate prize—a record contract.
Antonella Barba, Sabrina Sloan, Jared Cotter and Jason "Sundance" Head were cast off Thursday in phone voting, which drew about 37 million calls and text messages.
The performers who made the cut were Blake Lewis, Lakisha Jones, Chris Sligh, Jordin Sparks, Phil Stacey, Melinda Doolittle, Brandon Rogers, Gina Glocksen, Chris Richardson.
Stephanie Edwards, Haley Scarnato and Samaya Malak.
The show's tense final moments belonged to Malakar and Head, who were waiting to find out who would take the competition's 12th spot
— and who would go home. Judge Paul Abdul was stunned to hear that Malakar, who is not exactly a judge favorite, was staying.
"I'm speechless," Abdul said. "This is a singing competition, and Sundance, you've been one of our finest."
Howd this happen? "The volume was turned down," quipped Simon Cowell, who has criticized Malakar, 17, of Federal Way, Wash., for his
Thursday's show also featured a performance by "American Idol" winner Carrie Underwood, who recently snagged a Grammy for best new artist. She sang "Wasted," a song from her album "Some Hearts."
So far this season, the show's sixth,
men and women have been competing
separately, with viewers voting off
two of each sex weekly. When
the dozen finalists return Tuesday,
one singer voted off each week. The
winner will be chosen in May.
"American Idol" continues to dominate the ratings, attracting between 27 million and 37 million viewers per telecast this season.
"It is hypocritical on the part of developed countries to discuss this issue," Shibata said.

However, he said even though the United States was a large contributor to the global warming problem, it could be a large solution to the problem.
Gregory Cushman, assistant professor of international environmental history, said society was at a tipping point to change its interaction with the environment on a personal level.
"You need to show you're ready to do something." he said.
"We're not doomed, but the outlook does not look bright," he said. This dim outlook, Cushman said, could inspire people to stop doing the same old thing.

REPLACEMENT City corrects sign after 20 years of misspelling
HAGERSTOWN, Md. — The city of Hagerstown corrected a municipal spelling error Thursday, 20 years after committing it.
A sign directing drivers to "Municipal Stadium" was replaced with one displaying the proper spelling, said Erik Kline, city traffic control supervisor.
Kline said the longtime tolerance for the misspelled sign shouldn't reflect poorly on the western Maryland city of 38,000.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — What do you do when a 1,250-pound crocodile turns into a dike? Take him away from his audience.

Kevin Torregrosa, the senior reptile keeper, stopped Maximo's public feedings recently to retrain him.
"He knows what he wants to do. He's testing us," Torregrosa told The St. Augustine Record.
