Taxpayers get ‘unsung hero’ award for SRS action

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

The Shelter Inc. is giving its annual “unsung hero” award to the taxpayers of Douglas County and Lawrence for saving the local office of the Kansas Department of Social

and Rehabilitation Services.

“We are very grateful to the folks who made this possible,” said Judy Culley, executive director of The Shelter, a local organization that provides services for children in state custody and crisis prevention help.

As part of its fundraiser, the 25th annual Festival of Trees, Culley said The Shelter wanted to show its appreciation to everyone responsible for keeping the SRS office open.

In July, Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration an-

nounced it was closing nine SRS offices, including the one in Lawrence, which was by far the largest among the nine. The administration said the closures were necessary to save money.

But Lawrence and Douglas County officials protested,

saying the closure would disrupt services to thousands of people and create havoc in the community.

After the public outcry, the city and county agreed to pay SRS $450,000 over two years to cover the cost of office rent and overhead. Four

other cities approved similar agreements to keep their offices open. SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. has said he would request state funding of the offices in the fiscal year that starts July 1.

A taste of ‘Thanksgiving in America’ International students share holiday with local families

We’ve had a monster schedule so far for a team not even close to where we are going to be, in my opinion ... We are 3-2, with nobody else in the country playing Kentucky, Duke, Georgetown, UCLA back-to-back-to-back.”

Kansas University student Hafizah Jamal had seen Thanksgiving portrayed plenty of times on American television shows and movies. But the Malaysian native, who came to KU to study psychology this August, wanted to see the real thing firsthand.

“What’s better than Thanksgiving in America?” she asked.

Jamal was one of about a dozen KU international students spending the day with Lawrence couple Norma and Karl Schmidt as part of the 57th annual Betty Grimwood Thanksgiving Homestay Program, sponsored by the KU International Student and Scholar Services.

About 20 families across the area were acting as host families, and some of the students, who may live in the residence halls, spend the whole weekend with the families, while others simply stop by for the Thanksgiving meal.

“Their families are away so this is kind of nice,” said Galo Salcedo, program coordinator. Salcedo said the program also honors the

Rachel Schwaller, who recently moved back to Lawrence, and her husband, Rob, are starting to “set down roots” in Lawrence and decided to host their first international student Thursday. It’d be a little

smaller than the Schmidts’ — one student, along with Schwaller’s grandmother — but she was hoping it’d become a family tradition.

“It’s a good way to get involved,” she said.

The University of Missouri is preparing to institute a policy to allow fraternity members 21 and older to drink alcohol in their houses. Kansas University already has a similar policy in place.

Amy Long, KU’s associate director at its Student Involvement and Leadership Center, oversees greek life and leadership programs for SILC. At KU, she said, each fraternity house has independent authority to determine whether al-

cohol is allowed on a day-to-day basis. One fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, is substance-free because of its KANSAS national orgaUNIVERSITY nization’s policies, she said, while others are not.

All of KU’s sororities are alcohol-free. KU does, however, have a policy that regulates events of greek organizations that involve alcohol.

Those events must have food present, security guards and

safe transportation provided to and from.

Public safety officials at Missouri expressed concern that their rule change would lead to an increase in underage drinking. Jen Jordan, director of prevention for DCCCA and a member of the New Tradition Coalition of Lawrence that targets underage drinking, agreed that the policy likely contributes to the issue.

Clamor erupts over teen’s tweet about Brownback PRAIRIE VILLAGE (AP) — A suburban Kansas City teen landed herself in trouble by tweeting a few “joking” words about Sen. Sam Brownback during a Statehouse field trip.

The Kansas City Star reported that it all started Monday during Brownback’s greeting to young people who were in Topeka with the Youth in Government program.

Emma Sullivan, 18, thumbed from the back of the crowd, “Just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot.” She actually made no such comment and described the tweet as “joking around.”

But she soon learned that Brownback’s office monitors social media for postings containing the governor’s name. Brownback’s director of communication wasn’t amused.

“That wasn’t respectful,” responded Sherriene JonesSontag. “In order to really have a constructive dialogue, there has to be mutual respect.”

The tweet was passed along to the Youth in Government program. The re-

Cooper’s Cause hosting benefit in honor of birthday Dogs

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

As a little boy who was diagnosed with multiple heart defects before he was born and has undergone several open heart surgeries in the first years of life, Cooper Keefer has a lot to celebrate on his fourth birthday.

And, his family hopes to honor him by asking the community to eat out Monday to help raise money for other children like Cooper.

Cooper is the inspiration behind Cooper’s Cause Foundation, a nonprofit organization that aids families facing unexpected medical expenses related to pediatric heart conditions.

The foundation was formed in 2008 so Cooper’s family could “pay forward” the emotional and financial support they received during Cooper’s early heart surgeries.

Monday, which is Cooper’s

Culley praised local officials for stepping up.

“From our point of view, all politics aside, our concern was for the clients, and because the people that we serve were not going to have those services available here in town, this was a very big issue for us. We are very grateful to the folks who made this possible for the clients that we serve,” Culley said.

The “unsung hero” award usually goes to an individual or group, Culley said. This is the first time it has been given to honor all taxpayers.

21,” she said, because of the alcohol’s increased proximity and accessibility to minors.

Missouri changed its policy, according to one of its Interfraternity Council members, because “a lot of people thought it was unfair that 21-year-old people weren’t allowed to drink in their own residences.”

At Missouri, the policy includes increased enforcement measures, such as a third party to conduct random audits and check IDs to make sure students are following the rules.

Stephen Nichols is the recently elected student president of KU’s Interfraternity Council.

birthday, six restaurants have agreed to donate a percentage of proceeds to the foundation.

Those restaurants include: #" Amx Burrito King, 900 Ill., all day. #" Bambino’s Italian Restaurant, 1540 Wakarusa Drive, all day. #" Domino’s Pizza, 832 Iowa, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. #" Johnny’s West, 721 Wakarusa Drive, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. #" LongHorn Steakhouse, 3050 Iowa, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. #" Orange Leaf, 4801 Bauer Farm Drive, all day.

As for Cooper’s health, mom Kristi Keefer said he probably won’t need another surgery for three to five years.

“He is doing amazingly well, completely, unexpectedly well,” she said.

Monday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tuesday; and 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. A $3 donation is requested for adults; children are admitted for free.

At 7 p.m. Tuesday, the party and auction of trees and wreaths will take place. Tickets to the event are $35. At 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, “unsung hero” plaques will be accepted by Lawrence Mayor Aron Cromwell and Douglas County Commission Chairman Jim Flory to honor the taxpayers.

— Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

“I think we have a good system in place,” he said of KU’s system.

He said the group’s judicial board addresses violations of alcohol policies, and it looks to individual presidents across the system to ensure that members are taking responsibility for their actions.

Jordan said underage drinking remained an issue in Lawrence, particularly because of the abundance of 19- and 20-year-olds attending KU. She said her group would continue to work to reverse the trend.

“Under 21, it’s illegal. It’s not healthy. It’s unsafe,” she said. “Period.”

“I don’t regret sending the tweet,” she said. “It was harmless. It’s not like I was really fired up about anything he said.”

She said she wasn’t a fan of Brownback before, and his staff’s response to her tweet isn’t making her or her friends converts.

“We all are liberal, and we are opposed to a lot of his views,” she says. “I’m just an 18-year-old girl who knows what I believe, and I know what he believes, and we disagree. That is not going to change.”

One of the reasons for the Topeka visit was to give students a chance to draft and debate a mock bill. But Sullivan took something altogether different from the experience: “Twitter has more impact than I thought.”

Crime reclassification affects case stats

1 | PHOENIX

6 killed in small airplane crash

By George Diepenbrock

A small airplane slammed into a sheer cliff in the mile-high mountains east of Phoenix and exploded, killing the six people onboard, including the pilot and his three young children who were to spend the Thanksgiving weekend with him, authorities said.

The body of one child was recovered and dozens of sheriff’s search and rescue personnel worked Thursday to recover the remains of the other victims, said Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu.

A search and rescue team was in the rugged Superstition Mountains searching for three missing teenagers Wednesday evening and saw the explosion as the twin-engine plane hit the cliff, Babeu said. The searchers found the teens, then went up the mountain to try to reach the crash site.

If you look at the number of criminal cases filed in Douglas County District Court so far this year compared with 2010, you are probably scratching your head.

Last week, prosecutors had filed 973 criminal cases compared with 1,861 cases at that same point in 2010.

2 | YEMEN

Protesters reject transfer of power A U.S.-backed deal for Yemen’s authoritarian president to step down fell far short of the demands of protesters who fought regime supporters on the streets of Sanaa on Thursday in clashes that left five dead.

The agreement ending President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s 33-year rule provides for only the shallowest of changes at the top of the regime, something the U.S. administration likely favored to preserve a fragile alliance against one of the world’s most active al-Qaida branches based in Yemen.

The plan drawn up by Yemen’s oil-rich Gulf neighbors does not directly change the system Saleh put in place over three decades to serve his interests.

Saleh signed the agreement Wednesday in the Saudi capital Riyadh, transferring power to his vice president within 30 days. If it holds, he will be the fourth dictator pushed from power this year by the Arab Spring uprisings.

3 | IRAQ

Triple bombings kill 19, injure dozens A string of bombings in a southern oil city killed 19 people Thursday evening and injured dozens more, a grim sign of the security challenges Iraq will face after American troops go home.

The U.S. military is drawing down its troops ahead of an end-of-December deadline to have all American forces out of the country. Incidents like Thursday’s triple bombing in a city seen as key to Iraq’s economic development show the dangerous prospects awaiting Iraqis next year.

Three bombs went off in a popular open-air market in Basra, police and health officials said.

The third bomb exploded a few minutes after Iraqi army and police forces arrived on the scene in response to the earlier blasts, officials said. The third blast caused all the fatalities and almost all of the injuries, the officials said.

4 | IRAN

Report: 12 CIA agents arrested Iran has arrested 12 agents of the American Central Intelligence Agency, the country’s official IRNA news agency reported, quoting an influential lawmaker.

Parviz Sorouri, a member of the powerful parliamentary committee on foreign policy and national security, said the alleged agents were operating in coordination with Israel’s Mossad and other regional agencies, targeting the country’s military and its nuclear program.

“The U.S. and Zionist regime’s espionage apparatuses were trying to damage Iran both from inside and outside with a heavy blow, using regional intelligence services,” Sorouri was quoted as saying Wednesday.

“Fortunately, with swift reaction by the Iranian intelligence department, the actions failed to bear fruit,” Sorouri said.

The United States and its allies suspect Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon program, a charge Iran denies.

For the past two days, Maceli’s, 1031 N.H., has looked a little like a Santa’s workshop for Thanksgiving Day meals for the needy. Inside, dozens of volunteers worked furiously to cook, package and deliver more than 600 meals.

About 350 would be driven to area homes and another 250 or so would be served at the Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen Thanksgiving Day dinner at First Christian Church, 221 W. 10th St. The Journal-World followed the behind-the-scenes work that goes into the annual Lawrence tradition that’s grown this year by 150 meals, the most the program has ever served.

“That’s within our normal fluctuation,” said Branson, adding that it’s common to have a

Charles Branson said. “Our workload hasn’t changed.

President Barack Obama has telephoned 10 U.S. service members stationed abroad to wish them a happy Thanksgiving and praise their military service.

Obama made the calls Thursday morning from the Oval Office to two members each from the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy who are deployed in support of U.S. operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Obama has made the Thanksgiving calls each year since becoming president.

In a radio address to the nation, the president also asked Americans to remember the men and women in the military who are spending the holiday serving their country overseas.

The first family later Thursday was sitting down for a holiday feast including turkey, ham, cornbread stuffing, oyster stuffing, greens, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole and dinner rolls. Dessert selections included banana cream pie, pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, huckleberry pie and cherry pie.

criminal justice system has become much more lenient.

The reality: In 2011, the county ceased filing several traffic-type offenses, including DUI and driving-while-suspended charges, as criminal cases. Now they are classified as traffic cases.

That’s significant because the county prosecutors have filed nearly 300 driving-while-suspended cases and about 275 DUI cases so far this year.

“Our numbers are forever going to look really different going forward,” District Attorney

swing of a couple hundred cases from year to year.

His office filed about 1,900 cases in 2009 and 1,989 cases in 2008. The highest number in recent years was 2,365 criminal cases in 2006.

Branson said the numbers don’t point to more criminal cases directly associated with the economic downturn. But prosecutors have noticed a spike in more serious cases, such as robber-

DeRossett said that totaled 225,000 meals for hungry Kansans.

Good Shepherd Thrift Store in Tonganoxie was one of the 160 organizations receiving venison last season. Lynn McEachron, one of Good Shepherd’s four managers, said the venison was appreciated.

“It comes fully processed, so a lot of people don’t care if it’s deer meat or beef,” McEachron said. “It helps cut down on our meat bill.”

There’s one more step in the chain from field to table, and it prevented the organization from making even more processed deer available last season, DeRossett

cook in the kitchen.

“One roll in a bag,” shouts a volunteer, offering instructions to the crew.

“Where do the pies go?” asks another.

Engstrom, acting as foreman of the crew, says they’ll work for about three hours today doing everything they can to make the big push in the morning go smoothly.

Rolls get bagged, supplies get moved, and pumpkin pie gets cut.

The heavy lifting, though, starts bright and early the next day, Engstrom says.

10 a.m. Thanksgiving Day Sommer Ferguson, Lawrence High School sophomore, came to help out with her family, who’ll celebrate their own Thanksgiving later in the afternoon. Like most of the two dozen volunteers scurrying about, Ferguson has an assembly-line task: Load the grocery bags with the “cold” food — pies, coleslaw, butter, rolls, cranberry sauce and milk.

“Four of everything,” says Ferguson, repeating her instructions. It’s a little hectic, and confusing, as a deter-

ies often involving multiple co-defendants, which can be more complex to investigate and prosecute.

Through October, Lawrence police had handled about 2,500 fewer calls for service this year compared to the same time in 2010. The department had also handled about 200 fewer accident reports and 500 fewer offense reports the first 10 months of last year.

Public Affairs Sgt. Matt Sarna said those numbers don’t show a major drop-off from year-to-year. They also don’t reflect the amount of work other members of the

department handle, such as the neighborhood and school resource officers and detectives.

Fairchild said there are other indicators for how busy the courts have been.

“It seems like there have been more contested hearings, especially in mortgage foreclosures and probate cases,” said Fairchild, who handles civil and probate cases along with his administrative duties.

Mortgage foreclosures in Douglas County started to spike in 2008. The county had 103 in 2005, 202 in 2006 and 225 in 2007 before filings

hit 291 in 2008, 354 in 2009, 373 in 2010 and 259 so far this year.

At least in civil cases, which can include foreclosure cases, the number of filings this year might indicate a slight economic improvement in Douglas County.

About 675 civil cases have been filed in district court so far this year. From 2008 to 2010, the county reached that number by October, but from 2005 to 2007, it didn’t happen until December.

said. Donations make it possible for Kansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry to pay locker plants the $65 to process each deer carcass.

“Last year, we couldn’t take any more deer in January,” he said. “Even doing that and missing the last month of the hunting season, we had 100 more deer donated than the year before.”

The $65-per-carcass rate was negotiated some years ago after discussions with several locker plants. DeRossett said he assumed locker plants now were giving the organization a discount rate as costs have increased.

The program is available mostly to the eastern half of the state with Steve’s Meat Market in De Soto and the new Specialty Sausage Co. in Basehor among the local

locker plants participating, DeRossett said.

“We’re trying to expand if our budget will allow us,” he said. “We did have a locker out in Goodland, but they have since closed. Just a little past Salina is what we reach at this point.”

DeRossett said he helped found the state organization in 2001 after reading about a similar effort in Maryland.

A call to that organization led to connections with two other Kansans with the same interest. The two joined with him to start working with the Kansas Wildlife and Parks to start Kansas Hunters Feeding the Hungry, first as a chapter of a national organization as an independent nonprofit four years ago.

“When you’re out deer hunting, you see lots and

lots of deer, and you think of the opportunity to use that renewable resource for the many people who need help,” he said. “It’s not difficult to connect the dots.”

The program also benefits hunters looking for trophy racks rather than meat or those who stopped hunting because they don’t want to waste the meat that neither they nor their families like, DeRossett said.

“There is a moderate number of people who have given up hunting because they didn’t have an outlet of it (venison),” he said. “Or they are now taking their grandchildren hunting because they now have an outlet for it.”

mined volunteer runs around asking repeatedly, “Did you need coleslaw?”

Then Engstrom pops out of the kitchen, updating the crew with some bad news.

“The milk situation is this: We’ll be sending out some (meals) without milk,” she says. No one seems to have much time to stop and ponder the information; a little snafu, but the crew carries on.

Among the volunteers, there are first-timers, like Ferguson, and some who have been helping out with the meal for years, like Chris and Marion Anderson.

“We just stopped in to see if we could help,” says Chris, explaining that his daughters went to the in-laws this year, leaving them free to volunteer. For Chris, helping out is natural this time of year.

“It’s just the spirit of Thanksgiving,” he says.

four meals to deliver per carload.

If things looked a little rushed, it’s going to get a lot worse, warns Engstrom.

“Then it’s going to turn into total chaos,” says Engstrom of setting the delivery drivers loose.

But first, a pep talk.

Engstrom rounds up the dozens of awaiting drivers and their families and asks them to spend a little time with the people they’ll be delivering to.

“Some people, you’re the only people they’ll see today,” she says.

And they’re off, carting boxes and bags out of Maceli’s and into the Thanksgiving Day sun.

of laugh and carry on.”

The crew’s been delivering the meals for about eight years, and they share funny stories of deliveries from past years.

The kids chime in with why they like this particular family experience.

“I feel pretty good,” says a voice from the back. “It’s fun, too,” says another.

They make the rounds, knocking doors and greeting people with a cheery “Happy Thanksgiving.”

10:50 a.m.

The crew shifts from cold to hot foods on buffet-style prep tables, loading Styrofoam boxes with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans and gravy. It’s crunch time, and there isn’t much talking, clanking ladles drowning out the voices.

Dozens of families pour in, ready to take the reins and head out across the area —

11:30 a.m.

The delivering is a tradition for Lawrence man Brad Stoll and his family. Cousins, brothers, aunts, uncles and parents all pitch in every year. Brandi Studer, sister and aunt from Austin, Texas, gets the assignment to take the kids along — Sam, 5, and his brother Jack, 9, from Lawrence, along with sisters Olivia and Maura, 9 and 13, visiting from Frankfort, Kan.

While his sons were delivering meals in Lawrence, Stoll took the Eudora delivery route. After the scheduled deliveries, he had some extra meals and wanted to make sure someone got them before he celebrated the holiday with the rest of his family. Driving down a deserted Massachusetts Street, he spots a man sitting on a bench in front Teller’s.

Brad pulls over and offers the man one of the extra dinners, and the man quickly accepts.

Egypt’s military rulers reject calls to step down

By Hamza Hendawi Associated Press

CAIRO — Egypt’s military rulers rejected protester demands for them to step down immediately and said Thursday they would start the first round of parliamentary elections on time next week, despite serious unrest in Cairo and other cities.

The ruling military council insisted it is not the same as the old regime it replaced, but the generals appear to be on much the same path that doomed Hosni Mubarak nine months ago — responding to the current crisis by delivering speeches seen as arrogant, mixing concessions with threats and using brutal force.

So far it’s working no better than it did under the former leader.

Protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, seething over the military’s perceived failings over the past nine months, say they will not leave the iconic plaza until the generals step down in favor of a civilian presidential council, a show of resolve

similar to that which forced Mubarak to give up power in February after nearly three decades.

“What we want to hear is when they are leaving,” said Tahrir protester Khaled Mahmoud on hearing of an apology offered by the military for the deaths of nearly 40 protesters since Saturday. “The ouster of the marshal is only a matter of time,” he added, referring to Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who was Mubarak’s defense minister for 20 years before he succeeded him in February.

“There will be no postponement in the election,” said Maj. Gen. Mamdouh Shaheen, one of two members of the ruling military council who spoke at a televised news conference on Thursday. “The election will be held on time with all of its three stages on schedule.”

The two generals said the throngs in Tahrir do not represent the whole of Egypt and warned of chaos if the council was to immediately step down, language similar

Court orders release of U.S. students PHILADELPHIA — A court in Egypt has ordered the release of three American students arrested during a protest in Cairo, a lawyer in Philadelphia confirmed Thursday.

Derrik Sweeney, Luke Gates and Gregory Porter, who attend the American University in Cairo, were arrested on the roof of a university building near Cairo’s iconic Tahrir Square on Sunday. Officials accused them of throwing firebombs at security forces fighting with protesters.

Attorney Theodore Simon, to Mubarak’s scare-mongering while trying to cling to power in the face of the 18day uprising against his rule.

The two generals — Shaheen and Maj. Gen. Mukhtar el-Malla — also said that parliamentary elections would start on time Monday and that a new prime minister to

who represents Porter, a 19-year-old student at Drexel University in Philadelphia, said his client remained in custody at a police station as of Thursday afternoon Eastern time.

But Simon said he was able to speak by phone with Porter, describing the student’s demeanor as “calm and measured, demonstrating a maturity well beyond his 19 years.”

“He was extremely thankful and appreciative for our efforts and the unconditional support of his mother and father,” Simon said.

SAN FRANCISCO — Most Americans spent Thanksgiving snug inside homes with families and football. Others used the holiday to give thanks alongside strangers at outdoor Occupy encampments, serving turkey or donating their time in solidarity with the anti-Wall Street movement that has gripped a nation consumed by economic despair.

In San Francisco, 400 occupiers at a plaza in the financial district were served traditional Thanksgiving fixings sent by the renowned Glide Memorial Church to volunteers and supporters of the movement fighting social and economic inequality.

“We are thankful that we are, first and foremost, in a country where we can protest,” said the Rev. Cecil Williams, the founder of Glide and a fixture in the city’s activist community. “And we are thankful that we believe that

there are things that could be worked out and that we have a sense of hope. But we know that hope only comes when you make a stand.”

While the celebration remained peaceful in San Francisco, an amplified version of a family Thanksgiving squabble erupted in New York when police ordered a halt to drumming by protesters at an otherwise traditional holiday meal.

About 500 protesters were digging into donated turkey and trimmings at lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park when

OCCUPY WALL STREET PROTESTERS host Thanksgiving dinner in Zuccotti park, Thursday in New York.

police told a drummer to stop playing.

About 200 protesters surrounded a group of about 30 officers and began shouting in the park where the Occupy movement was launched on Sept. 17.

“Why don’t you stop being cops for Thanksgiving?” yelled one protester.

“Why don’t you arrest the drummers in the Thanksgiving parade?” hollered another.

A van rolled up with more officers, but they stayed back as protesters eventually decided to call off the drum-

Giffords serves Thanksgiving meal at Ariz. base TUCSON, ARIZ. — U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords helped serve a Thanksgiving meal to service members and retirees at a military base in her hometown.

Giffords arrived in the dining hall at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson at midday Thursday wearing a ball cap and an apron with her nickname of “Gabby” sewn on the front. She was accompanied by her retired astronaut husband, Mark Kelly, who also donned an apron.

Giffords used only her left hand as she served, a sign that physical damage remains from the injuries she suffered when she was shot in January.

Kelly supported her from her left side as she worked the turkey station on the serving line. He served ham.

The event marked the first

time Giffords has met with her constituents since the shooting.

After serving dinner, she mingled with service members, exchanging pleasantries and mostly oneword greetings and responses.

She did tell Airman 1st Class Millie Gray, of Kansas City, Mo., “Happy Thanksgiving; thank you for your service.”

Gray said she had intended to only grab a plate and head back to her dorm to eat, until she heard that Giffords was going to be there.

“She’s such an inspiration, and her story is so inspirational, it really made me proud. I felt very proud and very humble,” Gray said. “It just feels really good to see that she is out here supporting the troops and just continuing to be an inspiration and a strong role model for Americans in general.

replace Essam Sharaf would be picked before the vote.

News reports that were not yet officially confirmed said Kamal el-Ganzouri, who served as prime minister under Mubarak in the 1990s, has been approached by the military as a possible candidate for prime minister.

Protesters mark holiday from encampments ming and return to their food. Tensions have run high at the park since campers were evicted on Nov. 15.

Demonstrators nationwide say they are protesting corporate greed and the concentration of wealth in the upper 1 percent of the American population.

The movement was triggered by the high rate of unemployment and foreclosures, as well as the growing perception that big banks and corporations are not paying their fair share of taxes, yet are taking in huge bonuses while most Americans have seen their incomes drop.

Restaurants and individual donors prepared more than 3,000 meals for the gathering at Zuccotti.

Haywood Carey, 28, of Chapel Hill, N.C., helped serve the meals and said the Thanksgiving celebration was a sign of Americans’ shared values.

“The things that divide are much less than the things that bind us together,” he said.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable India’s Cabinet decided Thursday to allow more foreign direct investment in the nation’s huge retail industry, a move that could strengthen the country’s food supply chain and open India to giant global retailers.

Top retailers such as WalMart, Carrefour, Tesco and IKEA have long lobbied for a chance to build stores in the country of 1.2 billion people. Foreign multibrand retailers have Indian partners in wholesale operations but no retail presence.

Multibrand retail stores could be built with up to 51 percent foreign direct investment under the change the Cabinet approved Thursday.

The Cabinet also allowed 100 percent foreign direct investment of single-brand retail operations, up from 51 percent.

Advocates see the move as a way to strengthen India’s almost absent food supply chain — which is so beset by spoilage, poor infrastructure, hoarding and middlemen that the government estimates some 30 percent of the country’s produce rots while food costs soar and tens of millions of people go to bed hungry each night. ! U.S. markets were closed Thursday for Thanksgiving.

Germany deflects calls for European Central Bank to have more power

By Greg Keller Associated Press

STRASBOURG, FRANCE — Germany deflected calls for the European Central Bank to play a bigger role in solving Europe’s debt crisis but won the backing of France and Italy to unite the troubled 17-nation eurozone more closely.

Europe’s biggest economy and the main financier of the eurozone’s three bailouts has argued against allowing the ECB to use its firepower to ease a debt crisis that’s shown alarming signs recently of spreading to big economies, like Italy.

Instead of using the ECB’s cash-printing power, the eurozone’s richest countries decided to use political tools to dig their way out of the crisis: Germany and France agreed Thursday to push for changes to EU treaties to bring the eurozone’s economic policies more in line with each other.

“In the treaty changes, we are dealing with the question of a fiscal union, a deeper political cooperation ... there will be proposals on this, but they have nothing to do with the ECB,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Thursday in Strasbourg, France, after meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italy’s new premier Mario Monti.

Many think the ECB is the only institution capable of calming frayed market nerves and Merkel’s continued dismissal of a greater ECB role knocked market sentiment and stocks all round Europe fell again after a morning rebound.

Potentially, the ECB has unlimited financial firepower through its ability to print money. However, Germany finds the idea of monetizing debts unappealing, warning that it lets the more profligate countries off the hook for their bad practices. In addition, it conjures up bad memories of hyperinflation in Germany in the 1920s.

The ECB itself is reluctant to take on a bigger firefighting role. Its president, Mario Draghi, said earlier this month it was “pointless” for governments to depend on ECB bond buys to keep their borrowing costs down for any length of time.

ECB executive council member Jose Manuel Gonzalez-Paramo said Thursday that “euro area governments cannot expect the ECB to finance public deficits.”

The ECB is “committed to its mandate to preserve price stability over the medium term — it is not the fiscal lender of last resort to sovereigns,” Gonzalez-Paramo said in a speech in Oxford,

England, according to prepared remarks released by the bank.

For now, the French, German and Italian leaders agreed on with that current rules were not stringent enough and needed beefing up to prevent a repeat of the debt crisis that’s rocked the eurozone for nearly two years.

Sarkozy said “propositions for the modification of treaties” would be presented in the coming days.

He said they would be ready in time for the next EU leaders summit on Dec. 9. Treaty changes are, more often than not, a notoriously laborious endeavor.

Islamists outfox generals in Egypt

EDITORIALS

Trash costs An initial investment in automated trash trucks may save the city money in the long run.

I

n Lawrence, the two most important factors driving the cost of trash collection are personnel and fuel.

Fuel costs are hard to control; each address in town needs trash service. Personnel is where the savings and efficiencies can be made. The city-appointed Solid Waste Task Force advisory board is studying options for overhauling Lawrence’s trash service, including the possibility of adding curbside recycling.

The task force is expected to investigate services that can reduce three-worker collection teams to a single driver or a two-person team. If the city invests in new automated trash trucks and the accompanying trash bins that would be needed, the system has the potential to save the city and residents serious money over the long term.

The city charges households about $15 a month for its trash service, which does not include any curbside recycling service. Some city leaders say a new system that would include curbside recycling would cost less than $20 per month.

Also under consideration is a “variablerate pricing system” where residents would be charged different rates depending on how much trash they generate. Participating in a city-operated recycling program could reduce the amount of trash a household creates and possibly the amount the household pays for trash pickup. Such a system could encourage more people to recycle. It also would respond to the complaints some residents who produce one bag of garbage a week have about paying the same price for trash service as their neighbors who put out mounds of garbage. That only seems fair.

City commissioners ultimately will make the final decision about changes to the city’s trash system. A date hasn’t been set for commissioners to begin their debate on the subject, but the task force is expected to work at least through January.

It would be wise for the task force to study all options, especially those that can save money while maintaining or improving service.

As young revolutionaries once again battle Egyptian security forces in Tahrir Square, only one group stands to emerge victorious from the melee: the Islamist cadres of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Although the current violence has pitted revolutionary youth against the army, the real tussle is between the Brotherhood and the council of generals that is now ruling the country. Unable to think strategically, and (mercifully) unwilling to murder thousands, the generals have been outfoxed by the Islamists.

While the youth rage, and the military dithers, the Brothers advance step by step toward victory in elections that start Monday. The Islamists know that, irrespective of how this week’s violence ends, the legitimacy bestowed by an election is the ticket to power in Egypt in the near term. And they believe that this legitimacy will enable them to curb the power of the army in the longer run.

The current round of violence was triggered by a massive Islamist demonstration last Friday in Tahrir Square (which deteriorated after the army clashed with revolutionary youth who subsequently poured into the square).

The Muslim Brotherhood had called for the demonstration weeks earlier as a warning to the generals not to interfere with the elections. The generals — known as the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, or SCAF — were not always at loggerheads with the Brotherhood. Shortly after the Tahrir

The popularity of the military, the country’s strongest institution, was once sky-high but is rapidly declining. The SCAF cannot restore its position by greater use of force, nor would U.S. intervention (for or against the SCAF) be useful.”

Square revolution, the Brotherhood made a quiet deal with the SCAF to leave each other alone.

The SCAF expected that the Islamists wouldn’t object if the generals retained their perks and powers after the voting.

The Brotherhood had pledged to contest only 30 percent of the seats and didn’t seem like a daunting threat. Instead, the SCAF turned against secular opposition groups — including revolutionary youth. It distrusted the seculars because it feared it couldn’t control them. Many of the youth were beaten up or hauled before military tribunals, and human-rights groups were threatened with lawsuits. The warmth that the revolutionary

youth had felt for the army rapidly vanished.

Meantime, the political situation on the ground developed differently than what the army had foreseen. As expected, liberal and social democratic parties proved unable to organize.

But far more problematic from the military’s point of view, the Muslim Brotherhood, with its long-honed network of followers and a reputation for providing social services, proved stronger than expected.

The Brotherhood fielded the Freedom and Justice Party, which now plans to contend for 70 percent to 90 percent of the seats. Moreover, hard-line Salafi Islamists, abandoning their previous rejection of elections, organized four political parties that joined in a coalition and proved adept at grassroots campaigning.

Although they dislike each other, the Brotherhood and the Salafis together could win a majority. Moreover, the newly elected parliament will be designated to pick 100 people to write a new constitution, so an Islamist victory could influence Egypt for decades to come.

Now nervous about the Islamists’ growing power, the military made a clumsy attempt nearly a month ago to put forward a set of extra-constitutional principles to restrain them.

The principles would have ruled out future civilian control over the army — and the SCAF indicated that it wanted to keep ruling until the middle of 2013.

Furthermore, in a move that infuriated Islamists, control of the 100-person constitutional

drafting committee would have been removed from the newly elected parliament. The Muslim Brotherhood immediately called for the huge demonstration. Within 24 hours, the SCAF backtracked, but the demonstration went forward anyway.

Then, having shown its strength Friday, the Brotherhood went home and left the liberals and the army to savage each other in Tahrir Square.

Now, the SCAF is backtracking further; on Tuesday, it promised to hold presidential elections by July 2012 and to provide a faster transfer to civilian power. These are necessary moves, but they come very late.

The popularity of the military, the country’s strongest institution, was once sky-high but is rapidly declining. The SCAF cannot restore its position by greater use of force, nor would U.S. intervention (for or against the SCAF) be useful. Egypt is not Syria; the military’s honor is based on its refusal to fire on civilians.

A bloody crackdown would likely lead to a rebellion within its ranks and would turn most Egyptians against it.

To retain its waning clout, the military must move forward with elections (to delay them would cause a further explosion of violence). And it must transition to a civilian government as soon as possible — no matter who wins the ballot. The Egyptian revolution — dogged

by SCAF and liberal failures — must be played out until the end.

Work ethic needs some work For more than half my life I was a 99-percenter. I kept my first pay stubs in the news business to remind me where I came from and what was necessary in order to get where I am today.

In 1975, while working at a TV station in Houston, I wrote a letter to a friend in Washington complaining about my stalled career and low salary. “I will probably die here with my boots on, boots bought on a revolving charge and not fully paid for,” I griped. My memory is not that good. He kept the letter and showed it to me a few years ago. We laughed.

At age 37, I was making $25,000 a year with few prospects of earning more. Suddenly things began to change. All the hard work and experience resulted in a better job and more pay.

As a young reporter, I interviewed many successful people.

“Where did you go to college and what did you study?” I asked them.

“What is your philosophy of life and work ethic?” Rather than envy them, I wanted to be like them.

This is what’s missing from the envy culture of the movement known as Occupy Wall Street (OWS). Envy is greed’s equally bad brother. Those who lack what they think they deserve lust after the money and property of wealth creators. They seem to know little of what used to be called the “work ethic.”

Many in the OWS crowd are also deficient in their understanding of economics. There is not a single pie from which all must eat. Instead, life contains

I am thankful to live in a country that still rewards hard work, personal responsibility and accountability. But that country, which was my role model as a young man, is rapidly fading into history.”

a recipe everyone can follow to make pies for themselves. The pies are not guaranteed to be the same size for all, but if the right ingredients are used, those pies can make anyone self-sufficient.

This is the great philosophical divide that liberal politicians have effectively used to gain power for themselves while dooming increasing numbers of their fellow Americans to a life of dependency, failure and envy.

The recently failed debt commission contained elements of a poison familiar to many who have succeeded in life by their own efforts. Democrats wanted to tax the rich even more, but has a tax increase ever resulted in less spending? When the fed-

eral government gets more of our money, it doesn’t suddenly become fiscally responsible. The more money it gets, often, the more it spends.

In an America not long ago, we encouraged persistence. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” was a little saying I often heard growing up. Now it seems the message too many are sending and receiving is, “If at first you don’t succeed, don’t try again; turn to government (or a lawyer).”

I am thankful to live in a country that still rewards hard work, personal responsibility and accountability. But that country, which was my role model as a young man, is rapidly fading into history.

Human nature is such that a substantial number of people can be addicted to a government check if they choose not to work. But many of our grandparents taught us by example that the pursuit of success was a noble quest. Parents once bragged about what their children had become.

How many parents are bragging about their kids occupying cities and universities and fouling the ground and streets with human waste?

Bill Bradley, former Democratic senator and professional basketball player, once observed: “Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.”

We should be thankful for such truth. I would be more thankful if it were on the rise instead of in decline.

To the editor: In a recent letter to the editor, a reader lamented the fact that the state of Kansas still imposes a sales tax on store-bought food items.

Twenty-five years ago, after I moved to Lawrence from New York City, where food items are not taxed, I was shocked to learn that Kansas had this regressive tax. To its shame, Kansas is one of the few states left that still imposes this tax.

Over the years, I have phoned and written to our legislators asking them to consider removing the tax on food, to no avail. During a recent meeting with Rep. Barbara Ballard, when I brought up eliminating the food tax, Rep Ballard, although sympathetic, told me that every time the subject had come up, there was “no desire” to eliminate the food tax because the state cannot “afford” to lose that much revenue.

Boeing loyalty

To the editor: Could this be a “learning moment” for Kansas policymakers?

When Boeing Co. officials confirmed they are studying the future of the Wichita plant, including the possibility of its closing, Gov. Brownback and other elected officials respond with surprised alarm. After all, enticed by the company’s promise of 7,500 Kansas jobs if it won an aerial refueling tanker contract, then-Sen. Brownback and others lobbied hard to make sure Boeing got the contract.

Alas, the lesson could be that Boeing is no different than most other multi-national corporations. Focused on next quarter’s bottom line, with no loyalty to communities or their employees, they will close or relocate when their executives decide it’s in their financial interest.

My surprise is that the governor and the Kansas congressional delegation are surprised. Referring to the promised 7,500 jobs, they say they “expect the company to honor that commitment.”

Really?

Southwestern Kan. town renews image GARDEN CITY (AP) — Garden City officials have chosen a new logo and a new motto for the southwestern Kansas community.

“The world grows here” is the new tag line. It’s accompanied by a new logo that officials hope will become the image of Garden City.

The Garden City Telegram reports that the new graphic resembles a yucca plant with multicolored leaves. It was unveiled this week by elected officials and other community leaders at the Finney County Convention and Tourism Bureau.

Tourism bureau director Lynn Schoonover said the final choice was selected with public input from at least five other tag lines and two other images.

Thee Oh Sees San Francisco’s Thee Oh Sees touch down at The Granada, 1020 Mass., tonight in part of what has been a busy year for the indie quartet. The garage rock minimalists led by John Dwyer have released two full-length albums this year, “Castlemania” and “Carion Crawler/The Dream,” both of which have earned them high marks and put them on the short list of bands to watch. But the real draw of the band, as anyone who has seen them will tell you, is their live show. They possess an undeniable cool and an energy that is addictive, almost frightening, and even their most strung-out songs get tightened up live.

Their performance at The Bottleneck during GarageFest was definitely one of the more memorable of the showcase. Tonight’s show starts at 9 with support from Total Control, The Spook Lights and Mouthbreathers. Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the door.

Straight forward HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Sully says KU can beat MU Some names just don’t fit personality types. You never meet a Gertrude or a Matilda who’s an absolute wild woman, a Buddy who’s low-key, a Big Al who doesn’t sell used — excuse my 20th-century terminology; I meant to type “pre-owned” — vehicles for a living.

And then there’s the name Patrick Sullivan. Everybody knows one. Nobody knows one who’s quiet, fades into the background, says “no thank you, but it was kind of you to ask,” when offered a legal beverage. Loud, funny, life of the party, laughs a lot, answers to Sully. You’ve met one, you’ve met them all and can’t wait to meet the next.

Lawrence has one who fits the stereotype. Mix that with an extreme case of Jayhawk love and the result is about what you would think. A color-correct tattoo of the 1941 Jayhawk on his right shoulder, a 1946 Jayhawk on his left shoulder, 14 items — stickers, a licenseplate frame, decals, etc. — on one of the family cars pledging loyalty to his alma mater. You know the type.

Sullivan, KU Class of 1991, graduated from Rockhurst High, grew up in Kansas City, Mo., attended the University of Missouri for three months and “absolutely hated it.” He resumed his academic career at KU and has been drinking the Kool-Aid ever since.

This being KU-Missouri week, even during an outrageously horrific football season for the local gridders, Sullivan’s motor runs at an even faster pace than usual, which is to say at about the speed of Dario Franchitti’s. The recent arrest of Tigers coach Gary Pinkel on drunk-driving charges has revved him up even more.

Any man who thinks as much about one game as Sully has thought about what likely will be the last enactment of the Border War for a long, long time, has a shot at offering helpful advice to Turner Gill, who will coach his final game Saturday in Arrowhead Stadium and will be paid the remaining $6 million due him within 90 days of his firing.

Sullivan’s here to help.

“The only way we beat Missouri is to give them something they haven’t prepared for,” he said.

By that he did not mean for the team to come out of the tunnel wearing all white uniforms with white helmets.

“Jordan Webb’s a very predictable quarterback,” Sullivan said. “Why not run Christian Matthews in a wildcat-option set the entire game. He’s proven he knows how to handle the ball in the backfield and has the IQ to make plays. And with (James) Sims, (Darrian) Miller, (D.J.) Beshears and (Tony) Pierson as options, KU can feature their greatest components, speed and the offensive line. If Jordan Webb is forced to make plays, MU is going to blitz and force turnovers, shortening the field and scoring quickly and often.”

Kansas almost never runs out of the wildcat.

“If Chuck Long can add a couple of pass wrinkles for Matthews, a former QB, or one of the running backs, MU will have to make reactive adjustments,” Sullivan said.

An upset would make his month.

“KU can send MU packing to the SEC with a humiliating loss, compounding MU’s shame over the past week,” Sullivan said.

He makes it sound so simple, almost as easy as reciting your ABCs.

EUDORA HIGH RUNNING BACK GABE CLEVELAND (7) EVADES PAOLA DEFENDER AUSTIN DENT in the teams’ Class 4A state playoff game Nov. 18 in Eudora. EHS won, 13-10, to advance to Saturday’s state title game in Salina.

EHS smashes mouths all way to title game

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

For 13 straight weeks, Eudora High football opponents have known what was coming.

The Cardinals take an oldschool approach to the gridiron, more suitable for grainy, blackand-white footage than high definition. They are going to run the ball and play hard-nosed defense.

They know it. Their opponents know it. And that’s just the way it’s going to be.

As senior quarterback Derek Webb put it: “There’s definitely no secrets about what we’re gonna do.”

“

To the Cardinals’ credit, it has been a wildly prosperous approach. EHS (12-1) has won 11 straight games, racked up 4,030 rushing yards and held its foes to 10.6 points a game.

Oh, and one more success nugget: At 1 p.m. Saturday, Eudora plays Rose Hill (12-1) at Salina District Stadium for the Class 4A state championship.

To put it mildly, EHS is enjoying the ride. Just ask Cardinals senior lineman Greg Snell.

“It’s the dream senior season,” he said, adding that getting to this point has been the goal every year he has been at Eudora. “It’s all of

our hard work put into one (season).”

Hard work, mental toughness and defense have been critical to the team’s success, coach Gregg Webb said.

“That’s really what’s gotten us here,” he said. “Our focus and determination.”

That and a stellar defense. Not only has the Eudora ‘D’ doubled as a stone wall for opposing offenses, it has created 14 interceptions (sophomore safety Andrew Ballock leads the team with six) and 12 fumble recoveries (Ballock, free safety Derek Webb and junior linebacker Gabe Cleveland

all have two). Senior defensive back Matthew Gadberry leads the team with 131 total tackles, junior linebacker Markis Hill has 95, and Cleveland has 88.

Coach Webb said what makes the Cardinals special on defense is that he never knows from play to play who is going to make the next game-changing tackle or takeaway. He said if he absolutely had to pick one player likely to do so, it would be senior defensive tackle Alex Whitten.

“He’s just been so disruptive,” the coach said. “Teams have to Please see EUDORA, page 3B

KU football players weigh in on BCS

I’ve always wanted a playoff system. I love the NFL playoffs. I love college basketball playoffs.”

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas University football players might not have any bearing on the national championship picture, but — like anybody who keeps up with college football — they certainly have opinions on the BCS system, — Kansas’ Kale Pick especially after watching a pair

of then-top-five Big 12 teams get upset this past weekend.

Two of the Jayhawks’ previous three opponents, Iowa State and Baylor, wreaked havoc on the BCS standings by knocking off former No. 2 Oklahoma State and former No. 5 Oklahoma, respectively.

The results were surprising to some KU players, but not to senior linebacker Steven Johnson.

“Iowa State, we almost beat; Baylor, we almost beat,” he said.

“I really feel as though in the Big 12 this year anybody can beat anybody every single week.”

That holds true in many BCS conferences year after year, and has led many college football enthusiasts to call for a change.

Count Kansas junior wide receiver Kale Pick among those

in favor of college football playoffs.

“I’ve always wanted a playoff system,” Pick said. “I love the NFL playoffs. I love college basketball playoffs. I think it’s just more exciting to go round-by-round and see who the true champion is through a playoff system.”

Self: Hawaiian trip more than just fun in sun

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

LAHAINA, HAWAII — Kansas University’s basketball players did more than body surf and spy on sea turtles while snorkeling during their just-completed trip to paradise.

The Jayhawks (3-2), on their first extended road trip of the season, beat Georgetown (6763) and UCLA (72-56) at the Maui Invitational before losing to Duke, 68-61, in the final, gaining some valuable experience against top-notch competition so early in the season.

Playing teams from three premier conferences — the Big East, Pac-12 and ACC — also figures to be a bonus at this juncture of the 2011-12 campaign.

“We’ve had a monster schedule so far for a team not even close to where we are going to be in my opinion,” KU coach

Bill Self said. “I think we’re doing some good things. We’re better than we were a week ago when we played Kentucky (and lost, 75-65, in New York). Still, unforced turnovers ended up being our Achilles heel in both those games (the UK and Duke losses).

“We are 3-2, with nobody else in the country playing Kentucky, Duke, Georgetown, UCLA backto-back-to-back.”

Of course, KU expects to beat those schools, even in a year with a lot of inexperienced players.

“We’ve got to find a way to win close games. That’s how you have great seasons,” Self said. “We did it against Georgetown, who is really good. We didn’t do it against Duke. It was Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo a one-possession game that KANSAS FORWARD THOMAS ROBINSON PUTS UP A SHOT over Duke forward Ryan could have gone either way.”

NFL ROUNDUP

Oh, brother: Ravens down 49ers The Associated Press

Ravens 16, 49ers 6 BALTIMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Baltimore sacked Alex Smith nine times and beat San Francisco on Thursday night, giving John Harbaugh an emotional charge in the first NFL game featuring brothers as opposing head coaches.

The Ravens (8-3) chased, hindered and battered Smith for much of the night despite playing without middle linebacker Ray Lewis, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading tackler and spiritual leader. Lewis was inactive for a second straight game with a foot injury.

The nine sacks tied a franchise record, accomplished twice previously.

San Francisco (9-2) had its eight-game winning streak broken under rookie coach Jim Harbaugh.

UT ruins Aggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; farewell COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Texas spoiled Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going away party.

Justin Tucker kicked a 40yard field goal as time expired to give the Longhorns a 27-25 victory over Texas A&M on Thursday night in the likely end of a more than centuryold rivalry.

Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last Big 12 game and the 118th meeting between these bitter rivals before the Aggies depart for the Southeastern Conference next season was a thriller befitting one of college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and most storied matchups.

The Aggies were down 24-19 before Ryan Tannehill found Jeff Fuller on a 16-yard touchdown pass with 1:48 remaining. But the 2-point conversion failed, leaving A&M (6-6, 4-5 Big 12) ahead 25-24.

The Longhornsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; winning drive was helped by a 15-yard personal foul penalty and a 25yard run by quarterback Case McCoy. McCoy started Thursday after being benched after a loss to Oklahoma in favor of David Ash. McCoy struggled to move the offense for much of the game, but he was able to do just enough to get the Longhorns in position for Tuckerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner.

Texas players spilled onto the field as soon as the kick sailed through the uprights. At the same time, thousands of dejected Aggies fans streamed to the exits in the end of this holiday tradition in this football-crazy state.

Receiver Jaxon Shipley threw a touchdown pass on a trick play in the first half and the Longhorns took advantage of two interceptions in a 17-point third quarter to send the Aggies off with a loss.

Carrington Byndomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interception return for a touchdown early in the third quarter cut Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 16-14.

The Longhorns (7-4, 4-4) took a 17-14 lead on a 23-yard field goal later in the third.

Tannehillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third interception led to a 1-yard touchdown run by Cody Johnson to extend the Longhornsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead to 24-16 At times the end of this bitter rivalry felt like a goodbye between longtime friends. The Longhorn band spelled out â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thanks A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; while playing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks for the Memories.â&#x20AC;?

Earl Campbell, who the Heisman Trophy at Texas in 1977, and Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John David Crow, winner of the award in 1957, watched the game sitting side by side in golf cart in the corner of the stadium.

TEXAS QUARTERBACK CASE MCCOY (6) IS SACKED by Texas A&M linebacker Steven Jenkins during the second quarter.

Regardless, UT pulled out a 27-25 victory Thursday in College Station, Texas.

Lamar v. Kansas

Knology

cot, Reveille, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share in the goodwill. She showed her dislike for the Longhorns by chewing on a small stuffed version of Bevo, the Texas mascot during the game.

Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official fight song bids adieu to the Longhorns with the line â&#x20AC;&#x153;so long to the orange and white.â&#x20AC;? But the Aggies didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want to say goodbye.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hoped to continue the game, which began in 1894 and has been played every year since 1915, but the Longhorns said their schedule is full through 2018.

Countless great players and games have populated this series. Former Texas A&M coach Paul â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bearâ&#x20AC;? Bryantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1954 team, which survived his grueling camp in Junction, Texas, played the Longhorns.

Crow, A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only Heisman winner, was a member of the first Aggie team to beat Texas at Memorial Stadium in 1956.

It was against the Aggies in 1998 that the Longhornsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ricky Williams broke the Division I-A career rushing record in a 26-24 win.

KU women to host own tourney So much for a Thanksgiving break.

Kansas University’s women’s basketball team won’t have much time to relax with three straight days of home hoops. The Basketball Travelers Classic, which begins for the Jayhawks at 7 tonight against Lamar, will feature games at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday and Sunday, as well.

KU (3-0) is coming off a road victory at Wake Forest

on Sunday, but coach Bonnie Henrickson said that shouldn’t have the Jayhawks feeling good about the outcome.

“They probably did until we just watched film,” Henrickson said.

The eighth-year Kansas coach said her team shouldn’t be happy with its play because the Demon Deacons only lost by a point, 74-73, despite missing a boatload of point-blank shots.

“Who in our league’s gonna miss 20 layups? Nobody,” Henrickson said.

Lamar (4-1) is no stranger to the Big 12. The Cardinals’ one loss this year came at Texas A&M, 83-58, on Nov. 12, and senior forward Monique Whittaker is a transfer from former Big 12 program Nebraska.

Junior guard Kalis Loyd leads Lamar with a 19.8 scoring average, and Whittaker has put up 14.2 points an outing, but the Southland Conference program’s biggest strength might be on defense. Cardinals opponents have made just 37.5 percent of their shots.

KU’s top three scorers

play in the frontcourt. Junior Carolyn Davis (17.5 points), senior forward Aishah Sutherland (13.7) and sophomore forward Tania Jackson (12.3) have led the Jayhawks through three games.

By the end of the weekend, Kansas will have three more games of experience. Henrickson said playing so much in a short amount of time (KU plays IUPUI on Saturday and Florida Atlantic on Sunday), a schedule which the team went through last year, can get repetitive.

Football

“

of Wednesday, around 47,000 tickets had been purchased for Saturday’s match-up.

Maui

KU-MU by the numbers The Jayhawks enter this weekend’s Border War match-up with Mizzou with one of the worst statistical defenses in college football.

KU ranks 120th (of 120 FBS teams) in total defense and scoring defense and gives up an average of 531 yards and 46 points per game. The Jayhawks also rank 115th in pass defense (286 yards per game) and 118th in rushing defense (245 ypg).

Missouri ranks 80th in total defense (405 ypg), 53rd in scoring defense (25 ppg), 50th in rushing defense (141 ypg) and 99th in pass defense (263 ypg).

On the other side of the ball, KU ranks 95th in total offense, at 344 yards per game, 46th in rushing offense (168 ypg) and 97th in pass offense (176 ypg).

The Tigers rank 11th in total offense (483 ypg), 11th in rush offense (242 ypg) and 51st in pass offense (241 ypg).

As for scoring, the Jayhawks (89th, 23 ppg) have been outscored a whopping, 501-258, in 11 games this season, compared with the Tigers’ 362-272 scoring advantage in 11 games. MU ranks 31st in the country at 33 points per outing.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

I understand you want to have a playoff system to see who is the CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B best. … But then again, I like it that it’s tradition As for the format, Pick said that everybody has a eight or 10 teams would be bowl game.” the way to go.

“I think a playoff system would be pretty sweet — kind of do or die (in the postseason) — instead of just losing once and you’re out in the regular season,” he said.

KU sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb agreed with Pick that the BCS system, which picks two teams at the end of the regular season for the championship game, might not be the best way to decide an NCAA title.

“I can’t really say that I know too much about the intricacy of it (the BCS) or anything, but I think a playoff would be sweet,” Webb said.

“Everybody thinks a playoff is really the way to decide a champion, but you can’t deny the BCS has had some awesome games.”

Other than Pick and Webb, other players at KU’s Tuesday media session weren’t pro-playoffs. Red-shirt freshman tight end Jimmay Mundine said he stood somewhere in the middle on the topic of BCS versus football brackets.

“I understand you want to have a playoff system to see who is the best. … But then again, I like it that it’s tradition that everybody has a bowl game,” Mundine said.

“The fans like it, and each player likes it — we get gifts and stuff — so it’s pretty cool that everybody gets rewarded for the hard work that everybody puts in.”

Johnson was in favor of the BCS system currently in place, primarily because of the logistics of making the postseason longer.

“Yeah, a playoff would be OK, but then again, with college you’ve got school and your breaks and stuff like that, and it would kind of be difficult,” he said.

Johnson said the BCS successfully weeds out pretenders from contenders in deciding who plays for the championship and said creating a playoff system would provide another challenge for student-athletes, with extra practices and film sessions conflicting even more with their academic lives.

Senior tight end AJ Steward said there are pros and

Eudora CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

worry about him. And they have to worry about him with not one, but two, guys on every play, or he’s gonna make their life miserable.”

Snell, who plays defensive end, said pure want-to had driven the defense throughout its rampage of a season.

“We all just try really hard,” he said. “We put in so much work this whole season. We want it so bad.”

Senior cornerback Chris Pyle said each Cardinal on the field wants to make a play on defense.

“We all rally to the ball and run to the ball really well,” he said.

On offense, they might run with the ball even better. Eudora has three primary ball carriers, and they’ve all rushed for more than 1,000 yards this year. Pyle, at running back, leads the way with nearly eight yards a carry and 1,799 total. QB Derek Webb

— KU tight end Jimmay Mundine cons for both the BCS and a playoff system. He weighed in on the side of the current format, because he thought college football, unlike some NCAA postseasons, only considers the very best teams when deciding a champ.

“College basketball, the bracket system that they have, I feel like 64 teams, there’s no possible way that 64 teams would be competing for a championship,” Steward said. “I never understood that.”

He said a similar playoff format in football would take away from bowl games, which can be an appealing goal.

“Being a college player, every school, realistically, isn’t good enough to compete for a championship every year,” Steward said. “This (the bowl system) gives guys an incentive to play harder. It just makes the game a lot better when you have different bowl games to go to.”

Plus, the St. Louis native pointed out, the current format probably favors the longevity of those charged with running Division I programs.

“For the coaches, you may go 7-5 and that’s a good season,” Steward said. “You should be rewarded for going 7-5. I just feel like you can’t really get to that point with a playoff system.”

Attendance dwindling The epic showdown between No. 2 Kansas and No. 3 Missouri in 2007 probably was an unfair way to kickoff the Border War series at Arrowhead Stadium. There simply was no way future Border War games at the home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs could live up to that thrilling, 36-28, primetime match-up won by Missouri. Attendance numbers in the games since then indicate that’s the case.

In that first game, 80,537 fans packed an electric Arrowhead. Since then, the numbers have dropped each season, with a crowd of 79,123 showing up for the 2008 game, 70,072 in 2009 and 55,788 for last year’s game. As

has rushed for 1,067, and running back Cleveland has contributed 1,054 of his own.

There’s nothing flashy about the EHS offense, and that’s just fine with the players, Pyle said.

“That smash-mouth football — that’s what we like to call it — it’s pretty fun,” he said.

The Eudora ground game has been enjoyable for all involved, coach Webb said, because of the offensive line.

The big guys up front — Snell, Whitten, junior Nick Becker, senior Jared Ireland and senior Jarrod Kaup — have allowed the Cardinals to shorten games and add notches in the win column.

Webb said EHS takes opposing offenses out of games by keeping them on the sideline, and the linemen deserve the credit.

“They have been outstanding all year and are big and physical kids that are smart and know what to do,” their coach said.

Snell said it has helped that the four seniors have been playing together for four years. When they check

“It kind of felt like ‘Groundhog Day,’” she said. “Wake up, play again. Wake up, play again.”

Not that the players mind.

“They would rather play three games than practice three days, I promise you,” Henrickson added.

At least one Jayhawk might not have that luxury. Henrickson said Davis, who is recovering from a foot injury, might sit out a game, if necessary.

“If she does a lot on Friday and it’s bad on Saturday, she won’t play,” the coach said.

As far as KU’s rugged early season slate, Self said: “Looking back, I’m not sure this was bad for us at all. A lot of people play soft schedules, which we have, too. You can get confidence that way. I think we got some confidence playing Kentucky, Georgetown, Duke and UCLA.” !

out the defense at the line of scrimmage, he said, each lineman points out who he is going to block and — if everyone is going hard — there is nothing the defenders can do about it.

“We tell them we’re gonna come at you and smash you in the face,” Snell said.

That approach and its success, Pyle said, gives Eudora’s runners confidence.

“It makes running the ball a lot easier,” he said. “It’s good to know they’re in front of you, opening up holes.”

The game plan won’t be any different this week, either. Why would it be?

Smash-mouth football has worked for Eudora 12 out of 13 times this season. The Cardinals haven’t lost since falling, 17-13, at Saint James Academy, in Lenexa, on Sept.

9. That game, Derek Webb said, taught the team about being prepared every week.

He said this week, with a state title up for grabs, preparation will be as crucial as ever.

“We’re just gonna have to come out, stay focused and stick to our plan,” he said.

Insecure roommate causing problems Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Equal: We think Max belittles you because he is insecure about his own intellect and abilities. Sometimes being born into money creates the fear that without it, you’d be nothing. Please talk to your residential adviser or the housing office and ask to be transferred to another dorm room. It may even be possible to move out before the next semester begins. Until then, try to avoid Max as much as possible. Study in the library.

Hang out in a friend’s room.

Find other space to occupy.

Dear Annie: My mother is one of 10 children. Two years ago, her older sister started a huge fight with a few of the siblings. “Aunt Josie” has been very nasty and also posted inappropriate messages on Facebook. She’s always been coddled because we’ve believed she has some mental health issues. Now, my family has chosen to quit

Adding dogs to Christmas TV fare is too much The unholy alliance between dogs and Christmas continues on Hallmark with “Jingle All the Way” (6 p.m.). With stopmotion animation in the tradition of Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass (“Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer”), “Jingle” follows a gaggle of tots filled with the spirit of the holidays whose cherubic lives would be complete if only they could find their missing dog, Jingle, stolen by a nefarious pooch-napper with the heart of a Scrooge. Help yourself.

Meanwhile, two characters popularized by Hallmark Cards get their own holiday special. “Hoops & Yoyo Ruin Christmas” (7 p.m., CBS) is a manic tale about how the two logo-animals almost wreck Santa’s big delivery.

Clearly cobbled together on some computer imagery software, “Hoops” looks more two-dimensional and hyperminimalist than most new CGI fare. And not necessarily in a good way.

Far busier and more elaborately animated, “The Elf on the Shelf: An Elf’s Story” (7:30 p.m., CBS) looks like it burst from the pages of a children’s picture book. And in many ways it has, since it’s based on a book by Carol Aebersold and Chanda Bell about the secret ways that Santa keeps up with his naughty-and-nice list.

Christmas cartoons take their inspiration from various sources. The 2000 special “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” (7 p.m., CW) is based on a novelty song by Elmo and Patsy from the late 1970s, when the recording industry still churned out novelty songs. Or rather, back when there used to be a recording industry.

A peculiar little holiday cartoon from 1999 that’s never quite become a classic, but hasn’t entirely gone away, “Olive, the Other Reindeer” (8 p.m., CW) features Drew Barrymore as a substitute reindeer who tries to save the day, or, rather, the night before Christmas. The title is based on a popular mishearing of the lyrics of “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” Like I said, cartoons find their inspiration everywhere.

Viewers looking to spend their postturkey haze watching something a tad more big budget and widescreen should not miss the marathon of Peter Jackson’s Oscar- winning “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. It runs continuously all weekend, beginning with “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” (7 p.m., Encore). It’s followed by “The Two Towers” (10 p.m.) and then “The Return of the King” (1:05 a.m.). The Middle Earth trilogy repeats in that order until 11:45 Sunday night.

Tonight’s other highlights

Robert Downey Jr. swaggers his way through the 2008 comic book adaptation “Iron Man” (7 p.m., Fox).

“Great Performances” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “Il Postino From LA Opera,” featuring Placido Domingo.

A body found in a barn is just the first of many mysteries on the new series “Facing Evil With Candice DeLong” (8 p.m., ID).

Mutiny on (or about) the bounty on “Gold Rush” (8 p.m., Discovery).

Kane takes a sabbatical from politics on “Boss” (9 p.m., Starz).

speaking to her.

The problem is that my grandmother is choosing sides. She hasn’t visited our house for months but is at Aunt Josie’s often. She also recently announced that she would not be attending one grandson’s welcome home party because Aunt Josie isn’t invited. (Mind you, Aunt Josie never invites any of us to her events.)

My grandmother is aware of some of the nasty things my aunt has said. Is it wrong for me to tell my grandmother that she is mistreating the rest of the family? No one

Dear Annie: I am a sophomore in college and have been living with the same roommate for the past two years. I’ve known “Max” since high school, and we were good friends. Toward the end of last semester, however, Max started to do things that really irked me, but I was stressed from finals and thought maybe I was blowing it out of proportion. I figured spending the summer without dealing with him would clear things up, but I was wrong.

Every time we speak, it has to be an argument. Regardless of the topic — sports, politics, calculus — his opinion is the only one that matters. He talks down to me, claiming his classes are tougher than mine and saying how “stupid” I am. Annie, I am a chemical engineering major and have already taken (and aced) all of the classes he is currently in.

Max comes from a wellto-do family and uses that to show how much better he is than everyone else. Any money I have is because I worked my butt off and saved every penny. Since the semester began, I have been so annoyed with him that I’ve decided to move out as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, this may take a while, as I can only afford a dorm room right now. Any suggestions? — Not Treated as an Equal

Napier made four threepointers, including a late four-point play, and also had seven assists and three steals for the defending national champion Huskies (5-0).

Connecticut shot 52 percent (25 of 47) from the field and 40.9 percent (9 of 22) from three-point range to easily overcome 19 turnovers.
