Proposed school bond could top $85 million

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

The Lawrence school board is now weighing the idea of asking voters to approve upward of $85 million in a new bond issue, even though many openly admit they are pessimistic about

the future of public school funding in Kansas.

The board received its first preliminary estimates Monday night of how large a bond issue it would need to upgrade all 14 elementary schools, enhance computer and audio-video technology throughout the district, and

repair or replace mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment in all elementary, middle schools and high schools.

Consultants with the design firm Gould Evans and Associates said those items would come to about $85.4 million. That’s within the

range that district officials have said is possible without requiring a tax increase and without having to ask the state of Kansas for permission to exceed the district’s cap on bonded indebtedness.

But other items that board members have talked about

— such as providing new facility space for career and technical education, replacing older kitchen and food service equipment, and expanding Sunset Hill and Kennedy Schools, among other items — would take another $12.6 million.

DOWNTOWN SIDEWALKS

Umbrellas, signs, music under city scrutiny

“We definitely want to do something like that,” Koenig said. “We were going to try to do it sooner, but we decided it would be a new ser-

Big umbrellas: They’re the latest headscratcher at Lawrence City Hall. No, really, if you’re not careful, you’ll scratch your head on one of them strolling down a Massachusetts Street sidewalk.

City commissioners at their evening meeting today are set to create stricter regulations on when restaurants can use umbrellas as part of their sidewalk dining areas.

“It is really just a pedestrian safety issue that we’re trying to respond to,” said Planning Director Scott McCullough, whose office is proposing the regulations after city commissioners directed staff members to look at the issue.

Commissioners heard a few concerns that the umbrellas hung so low that even moderately tall people may bang their heads on the umbrellas, if they aren’t paying CITY particular attention while COMMISSION walking.

City officials are now proposing an addition to the city’s sidewalk dining code that requires the lowest point of any umbrella to be at least 80 inches above the sidewalk.

Staff members said commissioners also could require that none of the umbrellas be allowed to overhang the area outside the fenced-in sidewalk seating area. Or, commissioners could ban the large umbrellas all together. Staff members, though, aren’t recommending either change.

“I think they are a very reasonable sidewalk dining amenity to have, and can fit in well with downtown,” McCullough said.

“We just want them to be safe for pedestrians.”

Demand for e-books growing at libraries But multiple hurdles still exist in providing digital option

By Caroline Boyer cboyer@theworldco.info

Visitors to the Tonganoxie Public Library are letting director Kelly Fann know that they aren’t there just for traditional paper books.

“I do a one-on-one with a patron at least once a day with an e-reader device, whether it’s an iPhone, an iPad, or a Kindle, or a Nook, you name it,” she said.

Though a recent national study found that 62 percent of the population was unaware e-books were available at local libraries, that’s not the case for the Tonganoxie

“Most of our community knows that e-books are available, it’s just not the ones they want, or the hold list (for the e-book) is just as long as it is for the book form, if there even is the book available that they want,” Fann said.

“So there are a lot of frustrations to get over.”

As e-reader devices become more common, area libraries — like libraries across the country — are facing multiple obstacles when it comes to providing their community with the digital option of the books on their shelves. But library directors say staying up to date with e-books is an important service to the community.

Use of balloons or other similar types of devices to draw attention to a business also arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t permitted under the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sign code.

schools, however, local districts have authority to levy separate taxes for bond and interest payments.

Still, some board members started expressing concern Monday night about the image of a district embarking on a large construction project at the same time it may also be forced to cut general operating budgets.

Board President Vanessa Sanburn said she shared Byersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concern about future state funding for schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly, the tax cuts that were voted in the last legislative session will have ramifications for school district budgets, unless miracles happen like what the governor is projecting,â&#x20AC;? Sanburn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of other people looking at the numbers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have high hopes for the job creation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to spur the tax revenue to solve the budget deficit.â&#x20AC;?

Superintendent Rick Doll said the Lawrence district can afford to issue up to $110 million in new bonds without requiring a tax increase, largely because the district is retiring old bonds this year.

School board members have said their top priority is to improve facilities at the six older elementary schools in central and east Lawrence, to bring them up to standards comparable with the newer grade schools in west Lawrence.

The estimated cost for those six buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; comes to $47.5 million, or slightly more than half of the total base package.

Of those, Hillcrest School would be the most expensive, at an estimated $9.8 million.

A large part of the cost for those six schools would be new construction to provide additional classroom space, add gymnasiums or cafeterias, and replace â&#x20AC;&#x153;portableâ&#x20AC;? buildings with permanent structures.

The architects estimated that those six schools combined require 107,327 square feet of additional space to bring them up to the same space standards as the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newer buildings.

Costs for renovations to the eight other elementary schools in the district were pegged at about $23.2 million. The detailed report provided to the board was expected to be posted today on the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, usd497.org.

The board plans to approve a final project scope and cost estimates by the first of the year, then vote to place a ballot issue on the April 2 ballot asking voters to approve a bond issue.

Roach problems persist in school kitchens

Honoring firefighters, renovating Dillons

Roach problems continue in the kitchens of Lawrence public schools, according to recent inspection reports from the Kansas Department of Agriculture.

In September, inspectors found roaches at Lawrence High School, 1901 Louisiana St. They returned in October, and found a roach and an roach egg sack behind a freezer.

Inspectors also found

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: These are excerpts from Chad Lawhornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Town Talk column that appears on LJWorld.com daily, Monday through Friday. The print edition of Town Talk appears frequently.

Leaders with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks and Recreation Department are set to forward a recommendation to city commissioners to use the park at 19th Street and Haskell Avenue to remember area firefighters.

The park currently doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a name but rather is just a bit of an open field with some playground equipment and a basketball goal.

But the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is now recommending it be named Firefighters Remembrance Park. The idea came from Rachel McSwain, the widow of longtime Lawrence fire chief Jim McSwain.

The park is adjacent to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firefighting training facility. Rachel McSwain said current Lawrence fire chief Mark Bradford had mentioned the idea to her at McSwainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral in 2008.

The plan is that the park would have a plaque recognizing McSwain and his contributions to the city after serving 27 years as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire chief.

But in addition, other people will be allowed to make donations to the parks department to sponsor benches, trees or other park amenities in memory or recognition of firefighters. Each

several live roaches at Free State H i g h School, 4 7 0 0 HEALTH Overland Drive, during an Oct. 5 inspection. When inspectors returned to the school Nov. 6, they found even more roaches, as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;20 to 30 dead roaches.â&#x20AC;?

Both schools received a noncompliance notice during the inspections,

which is a preliminary step in the inspection process that does not initially carry fines or call for immediate closure.

Lawrence High had also received such a notice during following the September inspection.

Lawrence public schools spokeswoman Julie Boyle said the district is taking measures to address the problem. Those include keeping logs to identify where pests are entering buildings, checking pest traps daily, and

using food-safe sprays three times per week.

Boyle said the school district is also preparing a proposal request for new pest control services.

In the past two years, only one other Lawrence public school, West Middle School, 2700 Harvard Road, has received such a notice, in 2010.

Restaurants are inspected at least once each year, and school cafeterias twice annually, but inspectors make return visits to those with numerous critical vio-

lations and noncompliance notices.

Critical violations are not unusual in restaurants across the state. For instance, in 2012 so far, 326 Lawrence restaurants and school cafeterias have been inspected, resulting in 927 such violations.

Legislative committee hears proposed KU admissions standards

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tougher admission standards are inching closer to reality.

On Monday, state and KU officials briefed the House-Senate Committee on Rules and Regulations about the proposed standards, and the Kansas Board of Regents will probably put the finishing touches on them next month.

The proposed standards are â&#x20AC;&#x153;designed to encourage student achievement and student suc-

cess,â&#x20AC;? said Sara Rosen, senior vice provost for academic affairs at KU. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current standards do not reflect what it takes to succeed at the University of Kansas.â&#x20AC;?

Currently, admission criteria are the same for all six regents universities. A Kansas high school graduate can be admitted if he or she meets one of these:

Has an ACT score of at least 21 or SAT score of at least 980.

Ranks in the top one-third of the high school class.

Has a 2.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale in the Kansas

Qualified Precollege Admissions curriculum.

Under the proposed standards, to be automatically admitted to KU, graduating high school students would have to complete the pre-college curriculum along with one of these:

A minimum 3.0 GPA and an ACT score of at least 24 or SAT of at least 1090.

A minimum 3.25 GPA and an ACT score of 21 or SAT of 980.

Students would also have to apply by Feb. 1 before their freshman year at KU to be con-

Students who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the criteria will have their applications reviewed by a committee that will look at numerous considerations, including whether the applying student would be a first generation college student or is the child or grandchild of KU graduates, and whether he or she has the potential to succeed academically.

If given final approval by the regents next month, the standards would take effect for the entering freshman class in fall

Matt Melvin, KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associate vice provost for recruitment and enrollment, said the goal is not to deny access but to get students enrolled who are better prepared for the rigors of KU.

donation likely would come with its own plaque naming the firefighters being honored.

Parks leaders are finalizing some of those types of details and then plan to forward the recommendation for final approval by city commissioners.

Originally, Rachel McSwain and her family had suggested naming the park after the fire chief. Parks and Recreation officials, however, pitched this broader idea to the family. When the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks board recently gave its recommendation, a tearful McSwain said she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;thrilledâ&#x20AC;? with the idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the McSwain family has been very supportive of the idea,â&#x20AC;? Rachel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is going to be great.â&#x20AC;?

Soon, Lawrence gro-

cery stores will cook the food and spoon-feed it to you. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how competitive the Lawrence grocery market seemingly has become. (Maybe they will start making the little airplane noises with the spoon. I love that.)

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe me, just think about the millions of dollars Lawrence grocers have spent in the last few years to entice you to their stores.

There is the new Dillons on Massachusetts Street, the expanded and remodeled Hy-Vee on Clinton Parkway, the expansion of Dillons at Sixth and Wakarusa, a brand new grocery with the Walmart at Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive and almost every store in town â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Checkers to the other Dillons and Hy-Vee locations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have made smaller improvements to spiff up the interiors.

Well, there is another million-dollar project on the way. Officials at Dillons have filed plans at City Hall to add a drive-thru pharmacy at its 3000 W. Sixth St. store, which is the one near Lawrence Avenue.

I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet seen the full set of plans submitted to City Hall, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little short on details at the moment. But the company is seeking to do $1.36 million worth of work at the location. The application states the company will add a drive-up pharmacy window with a canopy, will restripe a portion of the parking lot and will include new landscaping for the site.

But the application also makes mention of other â&#x20AC;&#x153;interior building renovations.â&#x20AC;?

The project, however, does not propose enlarging the grocery store building. The plans call for the building to remain at 60,151 square feet. (A quick side note: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some people ask me how much smaller the new Dillons on Mass.

Street is to other Dillons stores. Well, the Dillons on Mass. is about 45,000 square feet, and I just told you this store is 60,151 square feet.)

Report: Obama health law a good deal for states

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; States will receive more than $9 in federal money for every $1 they spend to cover low-income residents under President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care law, according to a nonpartisan analysis released Monday.

Expanding Medicaid to cover about 20 million more low-income people will cost more than $1 trillion nationally from 2013 to 2022, said the joint report from the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Urban Institute. But the analysis found that states will pay just $76 billion of that, a combined share of roughly 7 percent. The feds will pay the other $952 billion.

Republican governors have resisted the Medicaid expansion, saying it adds an unacceptHEALTH able burden to already strained budgets. And the Supreme Court handed the governors a victory this summer, ruling that states are free to reject the Medicaid deal.

Medicaid is one of the two main ways that Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law expands coverage to most of the 50 million uninsured U.S. residents. As a broader Medicaid safety net picks up more low-income people, new health insurance markets called exchanges will offer subsidized private coverage to the middle class.

Both parts of the strategy take effect in 2014, at the same time that most Americans will be required to carry health insurance or pay a fine.

Expanding Medicaid to cover about 20 million more low-income people will cost more than $1 trillion nationally from 2013 to 2022, said the joint report from the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Urban Institute. But the analysis found that states will pay just $76 billion of that.

The new analysis was unlikely to change the minds of state leaders who have already rejected the Medicaid expansion, but it may help shape the debate in a majority of states still on the fence.

Among those refusing are Texas Gov. Rick Perry, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. For most others, the choice will come into sharp focus early next year as state legislatures meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to conclude anything other than this is pretty attractive and should be pretty hard for states to walk away from,â&#x20AC;? said John Holahan, head of the Urban Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Policy Research Center and the main author of the study, which used computer models of population, income and insurance coverage.

Under the law, Medicaid will be expanded to cover people up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line, or about $15,400 for an individual. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mainly geared to low-income adults with no children at home, who currently cannot get Medicaid coverage in most states.

Washington pays all of the cost for the first three years, gradually phasing down to 90 percent.

Some of the main findings:

States that reject the expansion could still face a substantial increase in their Medicaid costs, as people already eligible for

the program but not currently enrolled are prompted to sign up.

States will save $18 billion from no longer having to offset the cost of charity for low-income uninsured people.

Some states will actually come out ahead. New York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin and others that already cover low-income childless adults will be able to reap a more generous federal matching rate than they currently get.

Texas, the state with the highest percentage of uninsured residents, would see a 6 percent increase in Medicaid spending. About 2.4 million residents would be added to the Medicaid rolls.

Medicaid is a federalstate partnership that varies from state to state. So the consequences for state budgets will be different in each case.

Not so for the uninsured, said Alan Weil, executive director of the National Academy for State Health Policy, an independent research and policy group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is more than a fiscal exercise,â&#x20AC;? said Weil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a human dimension that needs to be part of the discussion far beyond just the dollars.â&#x20AC;?

But some state officials are worried about the longterm costs of the expansion, noting that current estimates cover only the first 10 years and Washington could reduce its contribution down the road.

Oklahoma power line shortage hampers oil production

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Companies trying to extract oil and natural gas from the Mississippi Lime formation and other fields in northwest Oklahoma and western Kansas are dealing with insufficient access to electricity.

Oil companies can use electric generators to drill and complete wells in the dense rock formation called the Mississippi Lime, but the pumps needed to suck the oil to the surface require vast amounts of power, The Oklahoman reported Sunday.

Power demand can vary widely, but one section with three oil wells and a water disposal pump can use nearly one megawatt of power, or about the amount needed to power 1,000 homes, said Steve Slawson, vice president of Slawson Exploration. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be Slawson controls acrereached at 832-6362. age in Logan County on

the edge of the Mississippi Lime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One reason we bought the acreage in Logan County is because it was closer to the metro area with better infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? he told The Oklahoman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we still will have to spend several million dollars extending the electric lines to our wells.â&#x20AC;?

Western Farmers supplies the electricity needs of more than two-thirds of mostly rural Oklahoma.

The utility is building 135 miles of new transmission lines in northern Oklahoma to help meet some of the sudden new power needs, but The Oklahoman reported the new lines canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be built fast enough for the oil companies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are typically very rural areas that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a lot of existing load,â&#x20AC;?

Brian Hobbs, vice president of legal and corpo-

rate services at Western Farmers Electric Cooperative, told the newspaper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As this development is going on, the power requirements are increasing very rapidly. It requires a significant build-out of infrastructure.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, Oklahoma City-based SandRidge Energy Inc., built its own substations and distribution lines that connect to existing transmission lines or will connect to planned transmission lines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building our own electrical substations and power grids allows us to develop the Mississippian play at the lowest cost and most efficient manner,â&#x20AC;? Matt Grubb, SandRidgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president and chief operating officer, told The Oklahoman.

SandRidge is one of the largest players in the Mississippi Lime formation and one of the first companies to develop the area.

KUMC gets $100K for cancer research A $100,000 grant from the Mary Kay Foundation will help Kansas University Medical Center researchers work to improve early detection of ovarian cancer.

The foundation announced the grant earlier this month. It is one of 13 grants totaling $1.3 million to be awarded to doctors and scientists around the country this year for research related to cancers affecting women.

The KUMC grant will go to Andrew Godwin, director of molecular oncology at KUMC and deputy director of the KU Cancer Center, and other colleagues.

In a release, Godwin said they will use the funds for the development of technologies that could potentially improve testing and treatment of early-stage ovarian cancer.

Man gets 33 years in murder case A Topeka man has been sentenced to 33 years in federal prison for a Christmas Eve shooting that has connections to an unsolved Douglas County murder.

Matthew D. Myers, 45, pleaded guilty to shooting and killing a clerk at Hudson Liquor store, 810 SE 15th St., Topeka, on Dec. 24, 2011, according to a news release issued by the office of U.S. Attorney for Kansas Barry Grissom.

Myers was identified in

the shooting occurred was part of the Hudson Crossing development, which was partially owned by Corey M. Brown, 39, Topeka, who was found murdered in January in northwestern Douglas County on North 2190 Road, also known as the River Road, west of Lecompton.

Few details have been released about Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder, other than that a firearm was used.

The Douglas County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office is investigating Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder, but a spokesman said there were no updates to release.

Police searching for robbery suspect Police are looking for a suspect in a Sunday night robbery at a Zarco 66 convenience store, 1500 E. 23rd S. According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley, about 9 p.m. Sunday a white male entered the store and bought an item. When the cashier opened the register, the man demanded money from the drawer, which the cashier provided.

No weapon was used during the crime, McKinley said, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear how much money was taken.

The suspect was wearing a baseball cap with the logo â&#x20AC;&#x153;WVâ&#x20AC;? on the front and a long-sleeved white shirt under a jersey that possibly had the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manningâ&#x20AC;? on the back.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the Lawrence Police Department at 832-7509 or the TIPS Hotline at 843TIPS (8477).

Officials search old mining pit for man PITTSBURG (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 911 call to Pittsburg police has prompted a search of an old strip mining pit in southeast Kansas for a man whose whereabouts are unknown.

The Joplin Globe reports a hiker called authorities on Saturday morning saying an adult male had fallen into the pit at Wilderness Park.

Police on Monday identified the missing man as 22-year-old Pittsburg resident Mateo Vincent Lorenzo. While the search goes on, investigators are also hoping to hear from anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts.

Authorities were sending boats and divers into the pit, which is described as 15 to 20 feet deep. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of at least four old pits in the park, which has more than four miles of biking and hiking trails on formerly mined land.

I think e-books are creating this whole new generation of readers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kim Beets, director of the Bonner Springs City Library most patrons arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware why libraries are limited in what e-books they are able to provide. One roadblock is limitations publishers are enforcing that are not enforced on paper editions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Publishers are in somewhat of a bad situation because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at what happened to music,â&#x20AC;?

Weaver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When music became digital, with Napster and everything, it really tanked the music publishersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market, and the publishers are afraid the same thing is going to happen with the book market.â&#x20AC;?

So some publishers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making e-books immediately available â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for example, the Harry Potter series just became available for libraries in the ebook market. A few publishers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even allow sales of e-books to libraries.

Other publishers are ramping up costs: Random House has increased pricing to libraries by 300 percent. Another publisher increased costs by 104 percent for libraries.

Best-seller â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fifty Shades of Greyâ&#x20AC;? costs $9.99 as a consumer e-book; libraries are charged $47.85 for the same digital title. On printed books, libraries typically get discounts from consumer prices.

Digital rights management software in each ebook file ensures that it is used basically in the same way as a paper book. Ebooks canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be copied, and once a checkout period is up, access to the book files is blocked, though they are not deleted from the device.

And publishers are enforcing limits on the number of times an e-book is read â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for example, Harper Collins has decided a digital copy may be checked out just 26 times.

After that, a library would have to repurchase the book.

Weaver said publishers view this as 26 people reading a book that is only being purchased once.

But she said publishers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider that those 25 people might not have bought the book anyway â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they might not have read it at all, or borrowed it from someone else.

Publishers â&#x20AC;&#x153;are looking at libraries more closely than they ever have before,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not recognizing the value libraries always provided for them, which is discovering new authors, promoting the very culture of reading, which has always built their business.

But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not seeing that right now.â&#x20AC;?

Technical challenge Digital book technology in itself is another roadblock for libraries: The digital book formats are not all compatible with the multitude of e-reader devices.

If libraries buy a file for Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kindle, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work on the Barnes

The various formats and e-reader devices also make it hard to keep library staff trained on their use, as well as adding difficulty in training the public on how to use them. Weaver said when her library tried to have an e-reader class in January, their patrons brought seven different types of Kindles alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had classes, and basically weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just come down to saying bring in your device and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll teach you how to use it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the idea that we can keep up with this technology makes it a real challenge for us.â&#x20AC;?

Hanson said this is librariesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;second time at the rodeoâ&#x20AC;? with downloadable content. The first time, libraries tried to support audio books, but the service providing audio books for libraries didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support iPods, which became the dominant portable audio device. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lessons learned from that experience are that if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deliver on the hardware of choice, it makes it incredibly difficult,â&#x20AC;? he said.

That lesson is being repeated with e-books, leaving local libraries searching for a solution.

In Kansas, anyone with a state library card can check out e-books through the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EZ Library.

However, that service, provided through technology conglomerate 3M Co., does not provide e-book formats for older versions of one of the most popular e-readers, the Amazon Kindle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas has been really, really innovative as far as pushing libraries into the e-book market and really making them available,â&#x20AC;?

Beets said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But a big barrier has been that a lot of patrons have the Kindle, and (Amazon) only wants to work with one vendor.â&#x20AC;?

That vendor is OverDrive, and a consortium of Kansas libraries is joining that service in order to open e-book checkouts to patrons with Kindles.

The Basehor library has had a contract for the past year with OverDrive through the Sunflower Elibrary consortium. Made up of about 20 libraries in the state, consortium members sign individual contracts with OverDrive for access to a shared collection, but each individual library can purchase just books for its own patrons.

The Bonner Springs and Linwood libraries are joining the consortium and will launch OverDrive by the end of the year; Bonner hopes to have e-readers available for checkout after the first of the year.

Fann said Tonganoxie is trying to join the consortium to launch in early 2013.

| 5A

However, the Lawrence Public Library formerly belonged to OverDrive, Koenig said, and quit the service because it found the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EZ Library to be easier to use, despite the Kindle-related drawbacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even with some of the glitches weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had with 3M, it still works better,â&#x20AC;? said Koenig, who said the library has been issuing state library cards to allow people to use the state system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a lot more use with it than I think we did with OverDrive.â&#x20AC;?

The Johnson County Library has found another solution that will work with newer Kindle Fires.

Andrew Wathen, collection development manager, said the library has a contract with book distributor Baker and Taylor for its digital medial library, Axis 360, which the library is currently testing and hopes to make available to patrons by the end of the year.

Wathen said because the new Kindle Fires function as an Android device, users can download applications to read different file formats from Axis 360. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the new Kindle is going to be fine,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the library has purchased $300,000 worth of e-book content. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very excited about delivering the product, which we think will be very versatile and works on most devices.â&#x20AC;? He said information about that service will be posted on the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website when it is available.

Other libraries arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to take further steps. Kathy Johnston, director at the Baldwin City Library, said while it has some patrons ask about e-books, the library staff directs them to the state service. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have plans to provide a service for Kindle users just yet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that the state library would get that ironed out, and we would contribute to that,â&#x20AC;? Johnston said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If not, then we may reconsider.â&#x20AC;?

Koenig said she knows the state library has been in talks with 3M about working out a deal with Amazon, and she hopes Amazon will realize its exclusivity is hurting its book sales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, from a public service standpoint as a librarian, if Amazon doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work something out, they will be losing out,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a problem for Amazon if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get on the bandwagon.â&#x20AC;?

Egypt’s president stands by decrees

By Hamza Hendawi Associated Press

CAIRO — Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi struck an uncompromising stand Monday over his seizure of near absolute powers, refusing in a meeting with top judicial authorities to rescind a package of constitutional amendments that placed his edicts above oversight by the courts.

Morsi’s supporters, meanwhile, canceled a massive rally planned for today to compete with a demonstration by his opponents, citing the need to “defuse tension” at a time when anger over the president’s moves is mounting, according to a spokesman for the president’s Muslim Brotherhood.

The opposition rally was going ahead as scheduled at Cairo’s Tahrir Square, birthplace of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak’s regime nearly two years ago.

The meeting between Morsi and members of the Supreme Judiciary Council was a bid to resolve a four-day crisis that has plunged the country into a new round of turmoil, with clashes between the two sides that have left one protester dead and hundreds wounded.

Morsi, according to a

presidential statement, told the judges that while the constitutional declaration he announced Thursday grants him immunity from any oversight, he intended to restrict that to what it described as “sovereignty issues.”

T h e vaguely worded statement Morsi did not define those issues, but they were widely interpreted to cover declaration of war, imposition of martial law, breaking diplomatic relations with a foreign nation or dismissing a Cabinet.

The statement did not touch on the protection from oversight Morsi has extended to two bodies dominated by his Brotherhood and other Islamists: The 100-member panel tasked with drafting a new constitution and parliament’s mostly toothless lower chamber, or the Shura council.

The judiciary has pushed back, calling the decrees a power grab and an “assault” on the branch’s independence. Judges and prosecutors stayed away from many courts in Cairo and elsewhere on Sunday and Monday.

Notable The leadership of the Securities and Exchange Commission will change next month. Its approach to regulation probably won’t.

Mary Schapiro will step down as chairwoman after a tumultuous tenure in which she helped lead the government’s regulatory response to the 2008 financial crisis.

Replacing her will be Elisse Walter, one of five SEC commissioners, whose career path has tracked Schapiro’s for nearly three decades.

Walter has served under Schapiro at both the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Both women worked at the SEC in the 1980s. Walter was also general counsel of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission when Schapiro led that agency in the mid-1990s.

WASHINGTON — A wideranging bill to give hunters and fishermen more access to public lands stalled in the Senate on Monday after Republicans said it spends too much money.

Republicans supported opening lands for outdoorsmen and many other provisions in the bill sponsored

by Democratic Sen. Jon Tester, but GOP senators blocked the legislation on principle Monday evening in a mostly party-line procedural vote after Senate Budget Committee’s top Republican, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, objected to spending on conservation programs included in the bill.

The sportsmen’s bill would increase land access and allow hunters to bring home as trophies 41 polar bears killed in Canada before the government started protecting polar bears as a threatened species.

Injuries from bounce houses increasing CHICAGO — They may be a big hit at kids’ birthday parties, but inflatable bounce houses can be dangerous, with the number of injuries soaring in recent years, a nationwide study found.

Kids often crowd into bounce houses, and jumping up and down can send other children flying into the air, too.

The numbers suggest 30 U.S. children a day are treated in emergency rooms for broken bones, sprains, cuts and concussions from bounce house accidents. Most involve children falling inside or out of the inflated playthings, and many children get hurt when they collide with other bouncing kids.

The number of children aged 17 and younger who got emergency-room treatment for bounce house injuries has climbed along with the popularity of bounce houses — from fewer than 1,000 in 1995 to nearly 11,000 in 2010. That’s a 15-fold increase, and a doubling just since 2008.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid over the weekend. The aides would not reveal details of the conversations. Obama last met with the bipartisan congressional leadership to discuss the fiscal cliff on Nov. 16.

No new meetings have been announced.

Boehner and other GOP leaders planned to meet Wednesday with members of a bipartisan coalition of former members of Congress and business leaders that has advocated cuts in spending in major health care programs as well as changes in the tax code to raise more money but also to lower rates.

Obama met with some members of that same coalition earlier this month.

Top officials from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and from the Business Roundtable met with senior White House aides on Monday.

major spending cuts and additional revenue via tax reform with lower tax rates.”

At the White House, Obama spokesman Jay Carney reiterated the president’s pledge not to sign legislation that extends current tax rates to the top 2 percent of income earners — households with incomes over $250,000. “That is a firm position,” Carney said.

Congress and Obama have until the end of the year to avoid across-theboard tax increases that would do away with rates set during the administration of President George W. Bush and restore higher tax rates in place during President Bill Clinton’s administration when the economy was robust and the federal government had a budget surplus.

White House and congressional leadership aides said Obama spoke separately with House Speaker John Boehner and Democratic

could also result in steep spending cuts in defense and domestic programs.

Lawmakers and the White House fear that such a combined “fiscal cliff” would undercut the military and set back an economic recovery. Republicans say that while they are open to revenue increases, Obama also has to agree to reductions in entitlement spending, particularly in massive health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

Carney on Monday said Obama was open to changes in those programs but said Obama does not want to address Social Security as part of the fiscal cliff discussions.

“The president has long made clear that he is open to discussions about strengthening Social Security as part of a separate track,” Carney said, adding that Social Security is not contributing to the deficit.

Looking to buttress their case on taxes, White House economists warned Monday that the uncertainty of a potential hike in taxes next year for middle class taxpayers could hurt consumer confidence during the crucial holiday shopping season.

Wal-Mart distances itself from Bangladesh garment factory fire

By Farid Hossain and Julhas Alam Associated Press

DHAKA, BANGLADESH — The garment factory in Bangladesh where a weekend fire killed at least 112 people had been making clothes for Wal-Mart without the giant U.S. retailer’s knowledge, WalMart said Monday.

In a statement, WalMart said that the Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory was no longer authorized to produce merchandise for Wal-Mart but that a supplier subcontracted work to it “in direct violation of our policies.”

“Today, we have terminated the relationship with that supplier,” America’s biggest retailer said. “The fact that this occurred is extremely troubling to us, and we will continue to work across the apparel industry to improve fire safety education and training in Bangladesh.”

The blaze on Saturday was one of the deadliest fires of its kind in Bangladesh and threw a spotlight on the way the country’s

garment factories often ignore safety in the rush to supply major retailers in the U.S. and Europe. More than 200 people have died over the past six years in garment factory fires in Bangladesh, including a blaze that killed 63 in 2006.

Survivors of the latest tragedy said that an exit door was locked, that fire extinguishers didn’t work and apparently were there just to impress inspectors, and that when the fire alarm went off, workers were told by their bosses to go back to their sewing machines. Victims were trapped or jumped to their deaths from the eight-story building, which had no emergency exits.

A MAN TAKES PHOTOGRAPHS on Monday inside a garment factory where a fire killed more than 110 people Saturday on the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

On Monday, about 15,000 Bangladeshi workers protested blocks from the gutted building in the Dhaka suburb of Savar, demanding justice for the victims and improved safety. Some 200 factories were closed for the day after the protest erupted.

Demonstrators blocked a major highway, threw stones at factories and smashed vehicles.

Labor leaders hope outrage over the latest disaster will prompt change.

Tahmina Rahman, general secretary of the Bangladesh Garment Workers Federation, said government needs to do more to punish factories for safety lapses.

Sandy cost New York $32 billion

By Michael Gormley Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Top political leaders in New York put their heads together Monday on big requests for federal disaster aid as Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that Superstorm Sandy ran up a bill of $32 billion in the state and the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest city.

The cost is for repairs and restoration and does not include an additional accounting of more than $9 billion to head off damage in the next disastrous storm, including steps to protect the power grid and cellphone network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common sense; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intelligent,â&#x20AC;? Cuomo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you spend some money now to Cuomo save money in the future? And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what prevention and mitigation is.â&#x20AC;?

N e w York Mayor Michael Bloomberg Bloomberg had announced earlier in the day that Sandy caused $19 billion in losses in New York City â&#x20AC;&#x201D; part of the $32 billion estimate Cuomo used.

New York taxpayers, Cuomo said, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foot the bill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would incapacitate the state. ... Tax increases are always a last, last, last resort.â&#x20AC;?

Cuomo met with New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s congressional delegation to discuss the new figures and present â&#x20AC;&#x153;less than a wish list.â&#x20AC;? The delegation, Cuomo and Bloomberg will now draw up a request for federal disaster aid.

States typically get 75 percent reimbursement for the cost of governments to restore mass transit and other services after a disaster.

Victims dream of Powerball riches LONG BEACH, N.Y. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Forget FEMA, insurance adjusters and construction cleanups. Some of the people hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy are hoping one thing this week answers their prayers: a $425 million Powerball jackpot.

Wednesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drawing is one of the biggest multistate lottery takes in U.S. history, and the high hopes for walking away with multimillion-dollar checks extended to some New York and New Jersey communities hardest hit by last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storm. Many residents said that if they won, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d even give back to the recovery effort.

With so much money in the jackpot, it would be particularly special if several victims of the storm could split the winnings, said Long Beach, N.Y., retiree Raymond Parker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people should win, not just one,â&#x20AC;? he said at a stationery store in Long Beach where he frequently buys lottery tickets. He said that his plan was to stick with his usual $4 purchase of two Powerball tickets and that if he won, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give money to his nieces and nephews to pay for their college educations and donate to the Red Cross as thanks for their relief efforts in Long Beach.

Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jackpot was the record for a Powerball drawing, said Christy Calicchia, a spokeswoman for the New York State Lottery. Powerball sells tickets in 42 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

By Bradley Klapper and Matthew Lee Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With congressional opposition softening, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice could find her name in contention as early as this week to succeed Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a step that may signal greater U.S. willingness to intervene in world crises during President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second term.

As Obama nears a decision on who should be the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next top diplomat, Rice has emerged as the clear front-runner on a short list of candidates that many believe has been narrowed to just her and Sen. John Kerry, despite lingering questions over her comments about the deadly Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. Consulate in Libya.

According to congressional aides and administration officials, Rice will be making the rounds on

such as Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., who is in line to become the panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top Republican next year, and Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. Rice is scheduled to meet today with Sen. John McCain, RAriz., her most vocal critic on Capitol Hill.

She will also meet with Sen. Kelly McCain Ayotte, RN.H. McCain and Ayotte are members of the Armed Services Committee.

During an interview on Monday, McCain said he would ask Rice â&#x20AC;&#x153;the same questions Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been talking about on every talk show in America.â&#x20AC;? Asked whether he thinks sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still unfit for secretary of state and what he was hoping for, McCain interrupted and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not hoping for anything. She asked to see me, and I agreed to see her.â&#x20AC;?

U.S. defends climate efforts at U.N. talks

By Michael Casey Associated Press

DOHA, QATAR â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Anticipating an onslaught of criticism from poor nations, the United States claimed â&#x20AC;&#x153;enormousâ&#x20AC;? strides in reducing greenhouse emissions at the opening of U.N. climate talks Monday, despite failing to join other industrialized nations in committing to binding cuts.

The pre-emptive U.S. approach underscores one of the major showdowns expected at the two-week conference as China pushes developed countries to take an even greater role in tackling global warming.

Speaking for a coalition of developed nations known as the G77, Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delegate, Su Wei, said rich nations should become party to an extended Kyoto Protocol â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an emissions deal for some industrialized countries that the Americans long ago rejected â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at least

make â&#x20AC;&#x153;comparable mitigation commitments.â&#x20AC;?

The United States rejected Kyoto because it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impose any binding commitments on major developing countries such as India and China, which is now the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 carbon emitter.

American delegate Jonathan Pershing offered no new sweeteners to the poor countries, only reiterating what the United States has done to tackle global warming: investing heavily in clean energy, doubling fuel efficiency standards and reducing emissions from coal-fired power plants. Pershing also said the United States would not increase its earlier commitment of cutting emissions by 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020. It is half way to that target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would suggest those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow what the U.S. is doing may not be informed of the scale and extent of the effort, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enormous,â&#x20AC;? Pershing said.

Poor practice Lawrence city commissioners shouldn’t annex land before they are ready to designate its zoning.

T

he Lawrence City Commission is preparing to follow its own poor precedent by moving forward on annexing a plot of land before the use and zoning for that property has been finalized.

On tonight’s consent agenda — where it will get no discussion unless a commissioner or member of the public specifically requests it — is the annexation of approximately 90 acres just north of Sixth Street on the east side of the South Lawrence Trafficway. If that location sounds familiar, it is the plot on which Kansas University and the city are planning a major recreation development. At its Nov. 12 meeting, the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission supported both the annexation of the property and its rezoning from agricultural to general public and institutional uses. However, tonight, the City Commission is being asked to approve only the annexation and not the new zoning intended to accommodate the recreation development.

The city took similar action earlier this year when it thought it was going to work out a deal to put a new recreation center on the northwest corner of the SLT and Sixth Street intersection. A 146-acre plot owned by a development group led by Duane and Steve Schwada was annexed into the city but with no zoning designation. The city had indicated it planned to rezone the land for commercial use, including big-box retail.

Then things changed. The recreation development shifted to the east and the Schwada property is sitting in the city but with no zoning designation. Despite their earlier commitment, planners now say the property may not be suitable for retail development. The Schwadas are understandably unhappy and the situation could well land the city in court.

One would think that if nothing else came out of this unpleasant situation, the City Commission would have learned a lesson about annexing land into the city before it was ready to give that land a zoning designation. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Despite the fact that many people still are wondering why the city or the KU Endowment Association are willing to enter into a deal that involves a no-bid contract with developer Thomas Fritzel to build the new recreation facilities, plans for the new recreation complex are moving quickly ahead. It seems unlikely at this point that they will fall apart, but it could happen, and then the city could find itself in a similar messy situation to the one across the highway with the Schwadas: land that has been annexed with the assumption that it will be zoned for a purpose that it may no longer serve.

It’s simply good practice for the city to zone land at the same time it is annexed.

The city shouldn’t get the cart before the horse on this project or any other.

This whole project, from the beginning to tonight, has been a mess with many deals setting new precedents for the KU Endowment Association, Kansas Athletics and the city of Lawrence.

Obama’s Asia trip has broad impact President Barack Obama’s recent trip to Asia was totally overshadowed by the violence in Gaza, to the point that few of us paid any attention to it. But his visit to Asia may have major implications for Latin America in general, and for Cuba in particular.

First, at a Nov. 20 meeting with Asian leaders in Cambodia, Obama agreed to conclude by the end of 2013 negotiations to create the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a giant free trade area of Asian and Western hemisphere Pacific rim countries that would become the world’s biggest and most ambitious commercial bloc.

While negotiations for the TPP were already under way, Obama’s Asia trip accelerated the agenda. The next round of negotiations is to take place Jan. 3 in New Zealand, and the deal is scheduled to be signed

by October next year. It may be ratified and implemented as early as mid-2014.

The proposed TPP bloc would include Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile and Peru, and Japan — the third largest economy in the world, South Korea, and Colombia also may join.

Although U.S. officials deny it, the TPP is, among other things, an Obama administration effort to counter China’s growing economic weight on both sides of the Pacific.

“This is huge,” says David Lewis, a trade expert with the

Andres Oppenheimer aoppenheimer@miamiherald.com

“

First, at a Nov. 20 meeting with Asian leaders in Cambodia, Obama agreed to conclude by the end of 2013 negotiations to create the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a giant free trade area…”

Manchester Trade consulting firm in Washington, D.C. “It’s the biggest trade agreement we have seen since the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement, and it’s going to give huge trade advantages to member countries over those that are not part of it.”

This could lead to a de facto partition of Latin America into a group of Pacific coast countries with free trade agreements with the United States and Asia, and a bloc of Atlantic countries that are big exporters of raw materials to China but will not have preferential trade deals with other Asian markets, experts say.

Mexico, whose Presidentelect Enrique Pena Nieto is expected to officially endorse Mexico’s participation in the TPP during his first meeting with Obama today, sees TPP as a unique opportunity to update its NAFTA agreement with the United States and Canada, and, just as importantly, to gain preferential trade access to Japan’s huge economy.

Japan has not announced its official request to join the TPP, because of resistance from its farmers and other industries. But Naoki Tanaka, head of the Tokyo-based Center for International Public Policy Studies, tells me that Japan is most likely to announce its formal request to join TPP after its Dec. 16 parliamentary elections.

The second interesting thing about Obama’s trip to Asia was his visit to Myanmar, also known as Burma, a military dictatorship that — much like Cuba — has long been the subject of U.S. sanctions and criticism for its lack of fundamental freedoms.

The fact that Obama decided to visit Myanmar in response to small but concrete steps toward a political opening, such as releasing well-known political prisoners and allowing free elections of lower-level officials, can be read as a sign that Obama could make a similarly historic visit to Cuba if that country’s military regime makes some moves toward a political opening.

Asked about the potential Myanmar-Cuba analogy, Roberta Jacobson, head of the State Department’s Western Hemisphere affairs bureau, told me that Myanmar “is a country that has been very closed and very repressive, and that has begun to open up. We are not immune to that change.” She added, “If it happens in Cuba, we are going to respond, like we did in Burma.”

My opinion: Both the TPP and a U.S. opening to Cuba — most likely after Fidel Castro’s death — are likely to materialize in the not-so-distant future. Obama will try to make both things happen during his second term. He will have his legacy in mind, and these are two issues that could end up high in history books.

Unlike previous trade agreements such as the Colombia, Panama and South Korea free trade deals, which were Bush administration leftovers that Obama lukewarmly embraced, the TPP is his creation. And an Obama trip to Cuba in response to some democratic changes on the island would be historic, especially after more than five decades of U.S. sanctions against the island’s dictatorship.

Perhaps, one day historians will look back at Obama’s recent visit to Asia as a signal of things to come in Latin America.

PUBLIC FORUM

Muted holiday To the editor: I would like to encourage everyone to celebrate a mindful Christmas this year in sympathy and solidarity with those who are the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Do not decorate your yard or home or string lights outside or decorate a tree. Please gather the money you would have spent on these things and use it to help these people.

Their homes have washed away, their heirloom ornaments are lost now, their yards are under water.

Let’s take a season to remember and help. Part of our country is grieving right now. Let’s comfort them and show by this solemnity that we care about their lost loved ones and their displacement. Let’s wait with these outward displays until next year’s holiday season when we can all celebrate together.

Rethinking our transportation needs

By Bert Haverkate-Ens

It is a tiny tragedy that we will pave over a few acres of designated wetlands. The real tragedy is our failure to imagine transportation solutions that both work and respect our natural and human world.

We need to begin to recognize that as long we each expect to be transported with maximum personal convenience and speed, these little tragedies are inevitable. That is, so long as each of us wants our own bubble of climatecontrolled power which takes us from our doorstep to within feet of where we want to be without expending physical effort, we will be stuck with traffic. This seductive “right of cars” is failing us. As long as nearly all of us demand this “right,” none of us can fully realize it.

The eventual answer will require a fundamental change in our way of thinking about how we get places. I think the time has come to think seriously about zoning transportation. In simplest terms this means designating more areas primarily for human power and fewer areas in which motor power is dominant. We must come to an agreement that there are places in which cars and people just don’t mix.

That includes how we locate parking.

YOUR TURN Our community is squabbling over additional levels of a parking garage or whether a roundabout at Ninth and New Hampshire is the best way to move cars through downtown But with some imagination, we might decide that private vehicles do not belong there at all.

If we could design our downtown area for human powered transport, with Haverkate-Ens efficient perimeter public transport, as well as some limited motor transport for the less able and the disabled within the no-car zone, I think we might find it to be more comfortable and convenient for almost all of us.

It’s the idea of mixing speeds and sizes of vehicles within most crowded transportation contexts that must be abandoned. As for downtown Lawrence, any transition zone would continue to be a problem with only continued piecemeal solutions as long as most people continue to insist on driving their own cars to get to downtown. Until our mindset changes, that

is until most of us manage, somehow, to change the way we think about our “right” to drive everywhere, we will continue to be “gridlocked.”

It’s not hard to see that as long as we insist on having our cake and eating it too — that is, making private cars the foundation for every transportation scenario — paving paradise and pedestrians or cyclists run over will continue to be our tragedies.

There are places for personal automobiles in our society, but downtown areas and neighborhoods would probably be better off without them. Every neighborhood has paved strips where nature used to be, it should be recalled, primarily so that we can each park our own cars directly next to our own doors.

Perimeter parking, shuttle systems and human-powered transport are words that need to enter our vocabulary. We should expect that some conveniences would diminish and others increase in the process of moving to more effective ways of getting around. But until we can agree as a society to exclude cars from more human zones and extend our willingness to walk, bike and even pull carts, transportation solutions will fail us.

It certainly wouldn’t kill us to walk more. We might even live longer and enjoy it more,

but only if we don’t have to do so much of our walking and biking right next to cars.

But until we get to a better way, I still drive a car, too, when there’s no clear alternative, because this is a kind of chicken and egg problem.

What I am proposing simply won’t begin to work well unless most of us can decide to make it work together.

Try to imagine the day when humans and cyclists have the right of way all along increased numbers of no-car routes, and it’s the cars that have to stop and wait for people to pass. Everyone would still get where they wanted to go, but instead of everyone having the right to go as fast as they can, we would have accepted that there are appropriate vehicles and paces within increasingly crowded spaces. There would still be bad weather days, to be sure, but I can imagine, just maybe, we might actually be more satisfied overall with a transportation system designed first to move people, not accommodate our vehicles.

Until then, whether you’re turning right or left on green, I should be safe walking with the light downtown. But I will be watching out for the cars anyway.

KANSAS 70, SAN JOSE STATE 57

Triple threat

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

KANSAS CENTER JEFF WITHEY SOARS TO BLOCK A SHOT by San Jose Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s D.J. Brown (1). Withey had a triple-double â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 16 points, 12 rebounds, 12 blocks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 70-57 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball victory on Monday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Withey powers Kansas past SJSU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Jeff Withey set Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single-game blocks record on the same night he recorded his first collegiate triple-double â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the second official tripledouble in storied Jayhawk basketball history.

So which is more impressive and meaningful, the 7-foot senior from San Diego was asked following KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

70-57 victory over San Jose State on Monday in Allen Fieldhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The triple-double,â&#x20AC;? Withey said without hesitation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;just because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been wanting it awhile now. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only me and Cole to have it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty special to me,â&#x20AC;? he added after collecting 12 blocks, 12 rebounds and 16 points in 35 minutes.

Withey joins Cole Aldrich Please see KANSAS, page 4B

MIXED BAG O Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team improved to 5-1 Monday, but afterward the Jayhawks announced Zach Peters was leaving the team.

Story on page 5B

KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athleticism worrisome Sometimes hearing bad news is good news. One such time occurred as Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self delivered a thumbs-down review of his basketball teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive performance Monday night in a 70-57 victory against San Jose State in Allen Fieldhouse.

Self mentioned in passing that senior point guard Elijah Johnson was not at full strength. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elijahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee is nicked up,â&#x20AC;? Self said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has no juice, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get his shoulder past anybody.â&#x20AC;?

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

That bad news qualified as good news because it stands to reason that when Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee gets better, so will his performance.

When it does, no way Kansas goes 10-plus minutes without a field goal as

it did during a second-half drought that turned a blowout into a game.

Not that all the offensive woes could be traced to Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not having his fastball, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the guy charged with making Kansas play at a fast pace at both ends, making the offense operate far from the hoop and keeping the defense a step behind.

Generally, the worse Selfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team plays, the more colorful the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postgame remarks. Monday was Please see KEEGAN, page 5B

WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW â&#x20AC;˘ FREE STATE HIGH

Firebirds firing up for start of winter seasons

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Free State Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winter sports teams are about to get their earliest hints about what the next three months might have in store for them.

With season-opening events beginning this week, here is a look at how the Firebirds feel about their chances on the basketball court, in the swimming pool and on the wrestling mats.

the middle of the pack â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No. 6 out of 12 teams. Considering Free State went 7-14 last year and lost five seniors, Law couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of really good basketball teams ahead of us,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Olathe East was the preseason favorite, followed

by Shawnee Mission South, Olathe South, Shawnee Mission East and Lawrence in the top five. Coaches thought

enough of Free Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returning core â&#x20AC;&#x201D; juniors Reshawn Caro, Cole Moreano, Keith Loneker and Blake Winslow, and seniors Logan Bannister and Kyle McFarland â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and junior transfer Khadre Lane, from Bishop Seabury Academy, to pick the Firebirds sixth.

Those outside the program might not yet know about senior forward Cody Scott or sophomore guard Weston Hack, but Law thinks those varsity newcomers should improve the Firebirdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chances, too.

With a challenging nonconference schedule on top of its league slate, Free State will face eight programs Please see FSHS, page 3B

Points coming at a premium in KC KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Week 12 and the Kansas City Chiefs already have nothing to lose.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dropped eight straight games to be officially eliminated from playoff contention. They lead the NFL in turnovers, havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scored a touchdown in more than 11 quarters and still have just one lonely win during one of the worst seasons in franchise history.

Time to throw caution to the wind, right?

Time to go for broke, right?

Time to do something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; anything, really â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to ignite a floundering franchise, right?

Think again.

Coach Romeo Crennel said he stands by his decision to keep kicking field goals rather than attempt several short fourth-downs in a 17-9 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, even though his own players acknowledged it was going to take more than 3s to win.

In short, he approached the game like the Chiefs were 10-1, rather than 1-10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to do what you think is right at the time,â&#x20AC;? Crennel said Monday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I thought going against this particular team that points on the board was going to be important. The more points the better, but we definitely needed points on the board.â&#x20AC;?

The first instance came on the opening drive, when the Chiefs

The rest of the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smiling about constantly settling for three points instead of touchdowns. actually showed some moxie by having Peyton Hillis throw a halfback pass on third-and-3 from the Denver 16. When it fell woefully incomplete, though, Crennel sent in Ryan Succop to kick a field goal.

The second came on the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next drive, when they marched to the Denver 4. This time, Succop was sent on rather than going for it on fourthand-2, and the result was a 6-0

Newton, Panthers outshine Eagles PHILADELPHIA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cam Newton returned to his rookie form to outshine a seventhround draft pick starting his first game since high school.

Newton threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more to lead the Carolina Panthers to a 30-22 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night in a matchup of teams with the worst records in the NFC. Bryce Brown set a club rookie record with 178 yards rushing, including TD runs of 65 and 5 yards, but the Eagles (3-8) still lost their seventh straight game.

Brown, filling in for injured running back LeSean McCoy, surpassed Correll Buckhalterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rookie mark of 134 yards rushing in his first start since his senior year at Wichita East High School in 2008. But Brown also lost two fumbles, including one in Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; territory.

Fellow rookie Nick Foles was so-so in his second straight start for Michael Vick, who also sat out with a concussion. Foles was 16 of 21 for 119 yards.

Carolina (3-8) went ahead 2422 early in the fourth quarter on Graham Ganoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23-yard field goal.

lead that was wiped out when the Broncos put together a touchdown drive just before halftime.

That shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been a surprise: Denver had scored at least 30 points in five straight games, making it unlikely that Kansas City could win simply by throwing jabs.

They needed to throw a haymaker, and they never even tried. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put points on the board, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be enough,â&#x20AC;? Crennel said, bristling over constant questioning about his conservative decisions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put enough points on the board, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be enough, either.â&#x20AC;?

The truth is the Chiefs havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put up enough in a while.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone more than 173 minutes without scoring a touchdown, their last one coming in the first quarter Nov. 12 against Pittsburgh. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve scored just 31 points in the three games since Crennel fired himself as defensive coordinator and said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spend more time with the offense, and have not scored more than 20 points since their overtime win against New Orleans in Week 3.

Asked why the offense has had such trouble getting into the end zone, running back Jamaal Charles said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just go out there and play,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played against

a good team with a good defense.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like we were playing against the last team in defense out there. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty good.â&#x20AC;?

Perhaps thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Crennel remained conservative in the second half Sunday.

After holding Denver to a missed field goal on the opening possession, Kansas City marched into Broncos territory.

But when Brady Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pass to Dwayne Bowe on third-and-7 gained only six yards, Succop once again trotted onto the field to kick a field goal from the Denver 31.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as if Crennel hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been decisive this season.

He acknowledged that he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle both head coaching duties and be the defensive coordinator, so he put Gary Gibbs in charge of the defense. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shuffled between Quinn and Matt Cassel at quarterback, trying in vain to find some kind of spark.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that nothing has worked, putting Crennel in position where he can start shoving all his chips into the pot on every offensive series. Against Carolina this weekend, perhaps.

If he chooses to do it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I made the decisions that I made, I had good reason for making them,â&#x20AC;? Crennel said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look back. You make your decision and if they work, they think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a genius.

If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, you go the other way. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a dummy.â&#x20AC;?

Irish success pleases Weis

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CAROLINE JARMOC (9) RAISES HER ARMS IN CELEBRATION after serving an ace during KU’s volleyball match against Texas on Nov. 10 at Horejsi Center.

VOLLEYBALL

Jayhawks: Culture change keyed breakthrough season

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Before turning her attention to the NCAA Volleyball Tournament, Kansas University junior Caroline Jarmoc was asked one more time to reflect on the Jayhawks’ breakthrough regular season.

More specifically: Just how did a KU squad that went 15-14 a year ago transform into a 25-6 team this year?

“The whole culture of the gym has been different this year from the start — just how we compete in practice and keep each other accountable,” Jarmoc said. “So I felt that we all knew we had the potential to get (to the NCAA Tournament). It was just to work and actually get the results and get us there.”

The Jayhawks returned five starters and a libero from last season, when they posted a 3-13 record in Big 12 play.

KU was preseason picked sixth in the conference by coaches before finishing third with a 12-4 league mark.

“I think it was just the coaches changing up some practices,” Jarmoc said, “as well as the older girls taking on the responsibility of setting a certain

ranked in the preseason top 10 in either Class 6A, 5A or 4A. Plus, the Firebirds have 13 of their 20 games on the road.

“We’ve gotta become a better team at home,” Law said. “We have not historically defended our home court very well.”

The Firebirds’ season will begin Dec. 4 at Topeka Seaman.

Girls basketball Many factors played into Free State’s girls basketball team opening the season as the No. 6 team in 6A, but its senior class might be the biggest reason.

Firebirds coach Bryan Duncan has eight seniors on his roster, and the vast majority of them have varsity experience. Back for their final year in Free State uniforms are starters Abbey Casady, A’Liyah Rogers, Chelsea Casady and Kennedy Kirkpatrick, as well as Courtney Parker, Ariana Frantz, Summer Frantz and Ciara Carey.

Plus, juniors Scout Wiebe and Millie Shade, Duncan said, add some punch to complement the Firebirds’ returning starters. Though FSHS has 10 players whom the 11thyear coach can count on to contribute, he expects

to stick to a tight rotation, with Kirkpatrick, the Casady twins, Rogers, Wiebe and Shade.

“You can argue we kind of have six starters right now,” Duncan said.

Free State finished last season with a programrecord 16 wins and the No. 5 spot in 6A’s rankings, despite falling short of its first state tournament appearance since 2010 (when its current batch of seniors were freshmen).

Some of the same schools as last year — defending champion Wichita Heights, Sunflower League foes Olathe Northwest and Olathe South, Maize and Topeka Washburn Rural — are expected to join FSHS as contenders for this season’s 6A title.

The Firebirds’ season begins Dec. 4 at Topeka Seaman.

Boys swimming As Free State swimming coach Annette McDonald enters her 12th season with the program, she can’t help but feel optimistic about the team’s experienced swimmers and divers. The Firebirds placed fourth in the Sunflower League and seventh at state last winter, and McDonald said they have the depth to compete with the state’s top programs once again.

“We’ll be a team to beat, for sure,” she said.

Not only does FSHS

have six returning seniors — Ben Sloan, Connor Munk, Nickolas Becker, Josh Saathoff and divers Dan Krieger and Wyatt Ohse — but juniors Canaan Campbell, Hunter Robinson, Kyle Yoder and diver Trevor Hillis, as well as sophomores Jack Ziegler, Cooper Schmiedeier and Nolan Stoppel all gained experience a year ago.

“They have both leadership and talent and are coming back swimming really strong,” McDonald said.

The coach also anticipates scoring additional points with a batch of newcomers: junior Cade Wright, sophomore Ben Reimer and freshmen Brandon Bunting and Brett Carey.

The biggest challenge with this group, McDonald said, will be determining which swimmers to use in each individual event, because many are talented in multiple styles. Finding the best combination to optimize Free State’s scoring is the coach’s ultimate goal.

FSHS opens its season at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at home with the Free State Invitational.

Wrestling Though Free State’s wrestling team finished 22nd last season at the 6A state tournament, thirdyear coach Mike Gillman thinks this year could be

Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis usually refers to Notre Dame with vague descriptions.

“The place I used to work,” “my previous job” or “that other school,” all have been used by Weis as substitutes for the university from which he graduated in 1978 and later coached from 2005-09.

While some see that as evidence Weis is still upset by his firing following the 2009 season, it’s more likely that’s how Weis shows respect to his current employer.

With the Fighting Irish having locked up a spot in this year’s BCS national championship game, Weis once again on Monday morning’s Big 12 coaches conference call was asked for his thoughts about the Irish’s success, a 12-0 run made by many of his former players and recruits.

“The most important thing for me is to make sure that I stay low-profile and don’t try to take accolades for their success,” Weis said. “I think it’s real easy for a guy in my position to sit there and say, ‘Yeah, they’re all my kids they’re winning with,’ or be jealous and bitter and all that other stuff.”

He’s not. Really. If anything, Weis, who is known by his current and former players for developing deep, personal connections with the players who lay it on the line for him, seems genuinely thrilled for the handful of guys he recruited — eight of the 11 Notre Dame starters on offense and a couple of high-impact defensive starters, including potential Heisman Trophy finalist linebacker Manti Te’o — who are on the brink of playing for a national championship.

“Take Manti, for example,” Weis said. “I love Manti. Manti and I will be close the rest of our lives, as will his family and I. But I think it’s important for me to understand it’s their team, it’s not my team. I have to worry about Kansas. But there (are) a lot of young men that are having a lot of success this year that I’m very, very happy for.”

award in his 15 seasons with the Jayhawks.

“There’s a lot of fun things that have happened this year, and it all centers around the successes of the team,” Bechard said.

“You don’t get awards — weekly, national or any awards — if the team isn’t excelling and achieving at a high level. It would be a little unfair of me to say, ‘Wow, this is a great award,’ when really, this is a Kansas volleyball team award.”

KU also had six athletes earn awards, including senior Tayler Tolefree, who was named the league’s inaugural Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Tolefree, a Lawrence native, has a 3.74 gradepoint average in human biology/pre-med and shared the scholar-athlete honor with Iowa State’s Jamie Straube.

Jarmoc and sophomore Sara McClinton also were named to the 14-person All-Big 12 first team — the first time in school history two Jayhawks made the list in the same year.

Jarmoc was one of seven unanimous selections.

“At 5:30, we went out on the field to kind of get that Thanksgiving dinner out of them,” Weis said. “I think the juice is back, and we’ll be ready to go this week.”

During normal weeks, KU’s players get Monday off and begin preparation for the following week on Sunday. But because Weis allowed the Jayhawks to return to campus Sunday night, he called for an early Monday practice to avoid conflict with class schedules.

The Jayhawks began working on the game plan for West Virginia Tuesday and Wednesday before the players were allowed to head home for Thanksgiving.

Academic honor The academic accolades for Weis’ first KU team continued to roll in Monday, as the program earned recognition by the American Football Coaches’ Association as one of 47 Div.

The Jayhawks were just one of four schools from the Big 12 to be honored by the AFCA, joining Baylor, Texas and TCU. Cornish runner-up Playing in his second Grey Cup game (Canadian Football League championship game) Sunday, former Kansas running back Jon Cornish rushed for 57 yards on 15 carries and caught a 16-yard pass.

Cornish played for the Calgary Stampeders, who lost to the Toronto Argonauts, 32-22. Cornish led the CFL in rushing with 1,457 yards, coincidentally the identical figure he rushed for at KU in setting a single-season school record in 2006. Cornish’s regular-season total for the Stampeders broke a 56-year-old record for most rushing yards in a CFL season by a Canadian native.

Former KU wide receiver Marcus Henry also recently wrapped up another CFL season.

Henry, now in his second year with the Edmonton Eskimos, hauled in two catches for 24 yards in a second-round loss to Toronto. In eight games this season, Henry racked up 382 yards and a touchdown on 28 receptions.

Henry signed with Edmonton in 2011 after being released by the NFL’s Carolina Panthers.

City athletes pepper all-league football ceived second-team status: Lawrence’s senior receiver Will Thompson, junior lineman Kyle Wittman and defensive back Mayo, and Free State’s junior linebacker Keith Loneker and quarterback McFarland.

The honorable-mention lists included several city players, too.

Honorable mention for FSHS: seniors kicker Antonio Schnoneich, running back TJ Cobbs, receiver Chris Heller, defensive back Demarko Bobo, defensive lineman Riley Buller and linebacker Hughes; and juniors offensive lineman Reid Buckingham, running back Dineen, linebackers Blake Winslow and Stan Skwarlo and defensive lineman Wyatt.

Honorable mention for LHS: seniors running back Tyrone Jenkins, defensive lineman Josh Seybert and linebackers Hunter Haralson, Drew Green, Asaph Jewsome and Jordan Brown; and juniors offensive lineman Alex Jones, defensive back Tucker Sutter and linebacker Kieran Severa.

KANSAS 70, SAN JOSE STATE 57

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Kinney puts on show for SJSU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

At one point during San Jose State senior James Kinney’s 30-point explosion at Allen Fieldhouse on Monday, the hot-shooting guard and Kansas University men’s basketball coach Bill Self enjoyed a fun-filled exchange of words.

“It wasn’t trash talk at all,” said Kinney, a 6-foot2-inch guard from Champaign, Ill., who provided most of the offense for the visitors during a 70-57 KU victory. “I’m familiar with coach Self because he coached at Illinois, but there wasn’t any trash talk.

It was all just friendly. It wasn’t anything major.

I’ll always remember that.

This is the most historic place I’ve ever played, and you remember moments like this.”

There’s little doubting that the Jayhawks also will remember Kinney, who shot 11-for-26, including 4-of-12 from three-point range, and added seven rebounds and five steals during a relentless second-half onslaught that turned a 24-point Kansas lead into an eight-point advantage with just under four minutes remaining.

At one point, with KU leading 60-36 with 11:42 to play, Kinney scored 10 straight points to bring the Spartans (2-3) back from the dead while making things a little uncomfortable for the home team on a night during which senior center Jeff Withey tossed in a triple-double.

“I never doubt my abilities,” said Kinney, the only SJSU player in double figures. “Give Kansas credit.

They’re a great team, a great defensive team.

They got size, athletes, everything. I wasn’t gonna give up. I’m not gonna get embarrassed out here.”

The second-half comeback, in which the Spar-

tans responded to an 18-0 KU run with a 16-0 run of their own, actually was the second time Kinney and company took a shot from the Jayhawks and kept going. Kansas’ 9-1 run in the first half that pushed the Jayhawks’ lead from 31-24 to 40-25 was answered by a 9-0 run from San Jose State that included the final seven points of the first half and the first two of the second.

“I just don’t think we have any fold in us,” SJSU coach George Nessman said. “It’s just not who we are. We didn’t come here to play for a while, we came here to play the full 40 minutes.”

Although he could not help but smile about his own performance after the loss, Kinney said the more important thing was that his teammates learned they could compete with anybody.

“This is just one game of a long season,” said Kinney, who prior to Monday listed Pittsburgh’s Petersen Events Center, which features the “Oakland Zoo” cheering section, as the toughest place he had played. “We played the game. We didn’t come out with the result that we wanted, but we’re gonna put this one behind us.”

As for how Allen Fieldhouse stacked up to the home floor at Pitt: “The environment wasn’t as hectic as here.

The only place I can compare to this is probably Utah State. I mean, when we walked in for shoot-around and practice (Sunday) night, the first thing I saw was the national championship banners, and you realize you’re in a building where many great players have played. Paul Pierce … everybody. (Kirk) Hinrich, (Nick) Collison, all the NBA guys. So it’s a special opportunity to come in here and compete.”

NOTEBOOK

Big man Peters leaving Jayhawks

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Zach Peters’ basketball career at Kansas University is over.

Peters, a 6-foot-9 freshman from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, has health concerns that include four concussions in the last two years and a rotator cuff injury that has kept him from practicing this season.

“Zach and I met today after he went home to meet with his family for Thanksgiving, and he has informed us that he will be leaving the basketball program effective at the end of the semester,” KU coach Bill Self said. “Zach has labored with health issues since he has been here. His shoulder has improved, but he’s also been dealing with multiple concussions that have become a big source of frustration and concern for him.”

Peters, who played football and basketball his senior year of high school, suffered two concussions last school year, as well as one in July and one in September at KU, Self said.

He was cleared to resume play after a period of time following both concussions at KU, Self indicated.

“Our medical staff did MRIs and all that,” Self said. “He cleared all the medical tests.”

Self said Peters, whose shoulder “has improved but is not 100 percent,” has decided to give up sports at least for now and return to Plano at semester.

“He’s not leaving here to go play (elsewhere) but be done. I don’t think he’s going to try to play sports, at least for a while,” Self said. “The fact he has had that many (concussions) in this short amount of time, plus the shoulder, I think he got pretty discouraged. He wants to move in a different direc-

tion, which, to be honest, if it was my son, I’d tell him to do the same thing. I don’t think this is a bad move on his part at all. I know his family was hoping it could work out differently. There was too much concern about getting hit again.”

Self added: “We have had numerous contacts with his family about this, and we are all in total agreement that before Zach could move forward with any type of athletic endeavors, he needs to be in a situation where he can address his health issues.”

Peters, who committed to KU before his junior year of high school, said: “I hate that this is happening. I have really enjoyed my time at KU. I was looking forward to having a great college experience here, but with all the injuries, including the concussions, that I have dealt with lately, I feel like in order for me to move on and be able to get over

all this, I need to go home and basically heal.

“I really like all my teammates. This was the best situation I could have put myself in to excel in basketball,” he added. “I want to say thank you to KU, the coaches, staff, teammates and fans that have supported me. I wish it didn’t have to end up like this, but it’s important for me to do so for my future. I plan on continuing to take classes while I’m home but I will not be playing sports in the near future.”

Tempers flare: KU’s Elijah Johnson was whistled for a technical foul along with San Jose State’s La Vanne Pennington in the second half. The two barked at each other after Xavier Jones was called for an intentional foul on a breakaway by KU’s Andrew White.

“I felt that was dangerous for him to grab Drew like that,” Johnson said. “I

This, that: KU senior the 15 blocks KU recorded Travis Releford, who was against Toledo in 2006. asked him, ‘Can he watch those kind of plays with my teammate?’ The referee felt it was more a hostile conversation.”

Self was upset that a point guard received a technical for standing up for a teammate, not a big man.

“That’s the first thing I said (to team), ‘Why are you letting him (Johnson) do that? I mean, that’s ridiculous,’” Self said. “We haven’t had teams here in the past act that way, ever. It should have been a big guy go get it. C’mon, if you are going to say something to somebody, it shouldn’t be your point guard doing it; it is one of your enforcers. So our point guard did it.”

Self, by the way, said Johnson “nicked up” his knee during a game in last week’s CBE Classic and as a result “had no juice.”

Self said Johnson should not miss any time.

no exception, and that’s no surprise considering San Jose State went on a 16-0, second-half run.

“I’ve seen bad offense before — third- andfourth-grade YMCA basketball with no good ball reversal and bad ballhandling,” Self said. “Our offense surpassed that tonight the last 12 minutes of the game.”

Jeff Withey’s far-reaching defensive dominance made Kansas look good defensively in the box score. The Spartans (2-3) shot just .292 from the field. Self, accustomed to having quick defenders on the perimeter, didn’t like what he saw beyond the numbers.

“They were so much faster than us,” Self said.

“I don’t know, maybe we should play zone because our guards can’t keep anybody in front of them.”

Sophomore Naadir Tharpe, the first guard off the bench, continues to struggle defensively and with his shot and in making the right pass at the right time. Rio Adams is longer, stronger and more explosive than Tharpe, but so far hasn’t harnessed his physical gifts to the extent Self trusts him to join the rotation.

Maybe Adams will make huge strides during the Christmas break, when

KANSAS COACH BILL SELF YELLS AT HIS PLAYERS to get it together after a near turnover against San Jose State. practice-time limitations are suspended. If so, he can add a needed dimension. If not, perimeter bench play could remain an issue for the remainder of the season.

“I’m just concerned about our athleticism, to be real honest with you,” Self said. “I just don’t see our perimeter guys doing anything athletically to create pace or force havoc on the other team.”

Increasing the pace starts on the defensive end, and for much of the night the Kansas guards looked like the Kansas football team’s defensive backs, playing too far off the guys they’re assigned to guard to create discomfort.

“If we haven’t figured it out, we’ve got a pretty

good guy behind blocking shots, so why wouldn’t we get out and pressure our guy? That’s the thing that’s discouraging to me,” Self said. “We’re just not athletic enough to get out and do some things I’d like to do.”

Self has resorted to having the ultra-quick, 6-foot5 freshman Ben McLemore or 6-6 senior Travis Releford on the primary ballhandler because he has grown tired of seeing point guards whiz past Johnson and Tharpe.

That could change if and when Johnson’s knee improves. At that point, Johnson also will do a better job of penetrating and forcing help, which should lead to better shots for teammates.

Even with the point guard not at his best, the odds of a Kansas team going 10:26 between field goals are astronomical.

Withey’s bucket with 11:24 left gave Kansas a 60-36 lead. Johnson’s pullup jumper with 1:16 left made it 66-57.

“In our building, we can’t make a field goal for 10 minutes?” Self groused.

“It was brutal, but we did hang on and win, which was the good thing.”

Kansas played lousy and won. Having a senior center who totals 16 points, 12 rebounds and 12 blocked shots can compensate for so many shortcomings, but as the schedule gets tougher, so too must the guys playing in front of Withey.

Nets 96, Knicks 89, OT NEW YORK — The Nets worked overtime to pull out the opener of their new-look rivalry with the Knicks, winning to tie their city rivals for first place.

Jerry Stackhouse, wearing the No. 42 Jackie Robinson made famous in Brooklyn, made the tiebreaking three with 3:31 left in overtime as the Nets controlled the extra period of a playoff-like game that neither team led by more than seven.

Brook Lopez had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Deron Williams added 16 points and 14 assists as the Nets improved to 7-1 in their new home and tied the Knicks atop the Atlantic Division at 9-4.

Carmelo Anthony had 35 points and 13 rebounds, but was only 10-of-16 at the free-throw line. Tyson Chandler finished with 28 points and 10 boards, but no other Knicks player was in double figures.

Big 12 showing depth with bowl berths

By Luke Meredith Associated Press Sports Writer

The health of the Big 12 has been a topic of debate since Nebraska and Colorado kicked off a fourteam exodus a few years back.

Judging by the results in 2012, the league is stronger than ever.

No Big 12 team was able to survive through Thanksgiving with a shot at the national title. But nine of the 10 teams, including newcomers West Virginia and TCU, are already bowl-eligible.

The leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 90 percent success rate is by far the best in the country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with an extra league game for each school and a week left to play.

No. 7 Kansas State can win the league title with a victory at No. 23 Texas on Saturday, while No. 12 Oklahoma needs a victory by the Longhorns and to beat TCU to win the Big 12.

Everyone except Kansas will be playing beyond this weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably as strong, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably as much parity as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen,â&#x20AC;? said Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, who has coached in the Big 12 for all but three years of its existence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the conference kind of fall out of the national spotlight gradually over the season. But at the end of the day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing such tremendously talented football teams week in and week out. Having a nine-game schedule like that is quite difficult.â&#x20AC;?

Perhaps the biggest reason why the league is so deep is because West

NINE OF THE BIG 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;S TEN TEAMS WILL PLAY IN THE POSTSEASON, thanks to strong seasons by conference newcomers TCU and West Virginia, as well as possible BCS berths for league mainstays Oklahoma and Kansas State. Representing some of the Big 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depth are, clockwise from top left, TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin, WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Geno Smith, OUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Landry Jones (12) and Brennan Clay (24) and KSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collin Klein.

Virginia and TCU have fit seamlessly into the league in place of Missouri and No. 10 Texas A&M, now in the SEC. The Mountaineers and Horned Frogs have discovered that things are a lot tougher in the Big 12 than their old homes.

West Virginia won the Big Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCS berth in its final season there and hung 70 points on Clemson in winning the Orange

Bowl. But after a 5-0 start in 2012, the depth of the Big 12 began taking a toll.

West Virginia (6-5, 3-5) needed a late TD to beat Iowa State 31-24 and simply reach bowl eligibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough league, and each and every week the same thing happens.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing who. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a battle,â&#x20AC;? West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said.

TCU went unbeaten in its final season in the Mountain West in 2011.

The Horned Frogs have taken their lumps in the Big 12, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming off their biggest win yet as a member of the league.

TCU (7-4 4-4) fell flat in its home opener, losing 3723 to Iowa State in quarterback Trevone Boykinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut. The Horned Frogs also dropped a wild, triple-overtime affair to Tex-

as Tech, 56-53, and lost to Kansas State at home.

But the Frogs, in place of A&M as Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thanksgiving night opponent, thumped the Longhorns 20-13 for their first win over a ranked opponent this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing that everybody said, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hear on the recruiting trail before we joined the Big 12 was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, they win ballgames. But they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play good competition every week.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in every ballgame and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won our share of ballgames,â&#x20AC;?

TCU coach Gary Patterson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to raise our level of athletic ability at a lot of positions. But I think our kids play hard.â&#x20AC;?

Texas Tech will also return to the postseason after a brief dip in 2011. Despite losing four of their final five regular season games, the Red Raiders are 7-5 after winning just five games last season.

Perhaps no team epitomizes the depth of the Big 12 better than Iowa State.

The Cyclones could wind up in ninth place at 3-6 in the league, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still going bowling because they swept their nonconference slate.

Iowa State didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play three cupcakes, either.

The Cyclones beat Tulsa, which is 9-3 and playing for the Conference USA title this weekend, and won at Big Ten rival Iowa for the first time in a decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went on record early, even back in the summer stating that I thought the Big 12 would be the deepest conference in the country this year,â&#x20AC;? Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very proud of our league, very proud of our accomplishments in the league this year.â&#x20AC;?

SEC, Pac-12 also poised for big postseasons The Associated Press

With the majority of conference regular-season games in the books, the SEC again holds national bragging rights.

It appears that for the second year in a row the powerful SEC will be the only league in the country to send a team to the national title game.

The winner of next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SEC title game will almost certainly face independent Notre Dame in the championship game, in search of the SECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh consecutive national title.

But the SEC isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only team poised to make noise in the postseason.

Pac-12 is back The Pac-12 also had a strong season, per-

haps stronger than many thought it could.

The league will send eight teams to the postseason, just one shy of what the SEC and Big 12 will provide during the bowl season. The Pac-12 also will likely get two teams into the BCS, with either Stanford or UCLA headed to the Rose Bowl and 11-win Oregon looking like a solid BCS atlarge pick.

And the Pac-12 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send any .500 teams to the postseason, as every bowl-eligible team has won at least seven games.

sending a single 10-win team to the postseason.

The bowl ban on undefeated Ohio State left Nebraska (10-2, 7-1) as the only squad with at least 10 victories and the opportunity to get a few more.

Northwestern is next with nine wins, but the Huskers will have to play a 7-5 Wisconsin team that finished just .500 in the league in this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title game.

How bad has the Big Ten been this season?

The league has just six bowl eligible teams â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one less than the Mid-American Conference.

The SEC has six teams Big Ten bust that have won at least 10 The Big Ten is lucky it games. added Nebraska before AC-See ya the 2011 season.

The ACC came into 2012 Without the Huskers, the league wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be with a significant amount

of buzz largely centered around the national title hopes of Florida State and the prowess of Clemson.

The Seminoles and Tigers each reached 10 wins, but each received a harsh dose of reality over the weekend from SEC rivals.

Florida and South Carolina went on the road and beat the rival Seminoles and Tigers, respectively, by double digits on Saturday.

Florida State and Clemson both finished a leaguebest 10-2 overall. But thanks to sanctions at North Carolina and Miami, North Carolina State is currently the only other bowl-eligible team from the ACC with a winning record.

The Mountain West, Conference USA and the Sun Belt donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently have any 10-win teams.

Texas turns to McCoy at KSU

TEXAS QUARTERBACK CASE MCCOY HANDS OFF to a running back during the second half against Kansas on Oct. 27 in Lawrence. McCoy, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started a game since the end of 2011, will lead the Longhorns against Kansas State on Saturday.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Texas is making a change at quarterback, turning from banged-up starter David Ash to Case McCoy to lead the No. 23 Longhorns in their season finale at No. 7 Kansas State.

McCoy, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started since the last game of the 2011 regular season, relieved Ash in a 20-13 loss to TCU on Thanksgiving.

While coach Mack Brown called the passing game â&#x20AC;&#x153;ineptâ&#x20AC;? against TCU, the reason for the quarterback change was a bit murky on Monday: Is it solely because Ash, who has 17 career starts and had been among the toprated passers in the coun-

try early this season, has an unspecified rib injury, or is it because he had a bad game?

Ash is listed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;questionableâ&#x20AC;? for Saturday.

Brown wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say whether Ash would start if he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t injured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not (healthy).

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ifsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;whats,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Brown said.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to figure out what to do with what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got.â&#x20AC;?

And Brown hedged when pressed whether he considered Ash, a sophomore, his quarterback of the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see David being a good player in the future,â&#x20AC;?

Brown said.

Offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;bothâ&#x20AC;? the injury and poor play that factored into the decision to start McCoy. Ash had three first-half turnovers against TCU and was twice pulled from the game.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL

Crockett pushes Tech past Jackson St. LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jaye Crockett did not let early foul trouble prevent him from being the scorer Texas Tech has come to rely upon.

The 6-foot-7, 200-pound junior forward scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds to lead Texas Tech to an 84-75 victory over Jackson State Monday night. It was Crockettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third straight game as the Red Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading scorer as Texas Tech has won all four of its games this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a spark off the bench,â&#x20AC;? Texas Tech coach Chris Walker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the very reason why.â&#x20AC;?

Dejan Kravic added 16 points, eight rebounds, and five blocks for the Red Raiders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so versatile,â&#x20AC;?

Walker said of the 6-foot11 Kravic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only seen a shell of what Dejan is, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only going to get better.â&#x20AC;?

Josh Gray and Jamal Williams Jr. each added 12 points.

Gray had two of his seven steals in the first two minutes of the second half that helped the Red Raiders to an 11-0 run, putting them ahead to stay.

Christian Williams led the Tigers (0-3) with 22 points, 18 of which came from behind the threepoint line. Derrell Taylor added 18 points and eight rebounds for Jackson State.

Jackson State led 11-1 early before Crockett came off the bench to help the Red Raiders pull within three. Crockett, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start but plays as many minutes as a starter does, scored five consecutive points and revived Texas Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense. But early foul trouble would slow Crockett and the Red Raiders down.

Without him, the Red Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense stalled in the first half, and the Tigers led by nine with 3:42 left in the half. Crockett returned in the final minutes of the half and he and Daylen Robinson helped the Red Raiders close within 33-30 at the break.

The Red Raiders came out ready in the second half, scoring 11 straight to take control.

Dear Annie: My mother is in her late 90s. She insists on covering her kitchen counters with newspaper, including the areas right next to the electric cooktop and the microwave. My mother does not see this as a fire risk. She thinks it is keeping a clean house.

The last time I cleaned her kitchen, I was disgusted by the small insects and bits of food that were trapped between the newspaper sections.

Her housekeeper simply goes along with her wishes and leaves the newspapers where they are.

But, Annie, if this paper catches fire, Mom would never make it out of the house alive.

I am not sure why she insists on putting her food on top of newsprint.

Mom reads your column every day and follows your advice. I am out of options. — A Caring Daughter Who Is Making Herself Sick Over This

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Daughter: Has Mom always lined her countertops with newsprint? If she’s been eating ink and bugs for more than 90 years, we assume she has a strong immune system. Also, her eyesight might not be as good as it once was, and she might not see the smeared ink and small insects. Your focus should be on the fire hazard. Any paper that rests near an electric cooktop (or any cooktop) is a risk. Mom — if you’re reading this, please wash your countertops instead of covering them with

‘Rizzoli and Isles’ returns The forensics buddy cop drama “Rizzoli and Isles” (8 p.m., TNT) enters its fourth season in domestic mode. The show opens with detective Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and her best friend, Dr. Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander), dressed in their pajamas in the kitchen, caring for an infant like doting married parents. Only the baby belongs (or so we suppose) to Rizzoli’s not-so-organized brother, Tommy (Colin Egglesfield), and his on-again-off-again girlfriend, who just abandoned the baby on Rizzoli and Isles’ doorstep. Whatever the circumstances, Rizzoli and Isles seem to be eager to raise the child as a family, or as part of some extended unit.

For the uninitiated, Rizzoli, played by the impossibly goodlooking Harmon, is the tomboy of the couple — or rather, the pair. Isles is the intellectually snobbish clotheshorse, a total girlygirl. Much like Dr. Temperance Brennan on “Bones,” Isles projects an academic detachment from ordinary life so she can better master mortuary science.

When not discussing domestic issues, the banter between the two women often revolves around corpses or the gross stuff found inside them. Isles offers up her findings with a combination of pride and icy detachment; Rizzoli responds with wisecracks and an air of blue-collar practicality.

In tonight season’s premiere, a cadaver betrays signs of a possible contagion, sparking a code red.

Not to give too much away here, but a citywide plague is averted and a major crime is solved, all before we return to the baby and scenes of domestic tranquility.

The ambiguity of the Rizzoli and Isles’ relationship is clearly intended and skillfully played out.

They’re like the Bert and Ernie of forensic detectives. The decision to keep things between them deliberately unlabeled is very much like the show itself, and perhaps its audience. It’s decidedly, even audaciously, old school.

Tonight’s holiday specials include one of the very best of the season, the 1966 animated fantasy “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (7 p.m., ABC), narrated by Boris Karloff.

Tonight’s other highlights

A teen patient puts Mindy on the spot on “The Mindy Project” (8:30 p.m., Fox).

The summer Olympics helped promote “Go On” (8 p.m., NBC), and now it returns the favor. Look for a cameo from beach volleyball star Misty May-Treanor.

Savino’s ex lands a singing job on “Vegas” (9 p.m., CBS).

Julia chafes at her stay-athome status on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC).

Dear Annie: I have worked hard all of my life and now find that I am financially very well off and can afford to be generous with my money.

Since I believe charity begins at home, I sent two $1,000 checks to two nieces who are going to college. It has been more than a month, and I have not heard anything from them. I even emailed the mother of one, thinking the check had gotten lost because it wasn’t cashed.

It was then deposited, but still no thank-you note.

I also sent a check to a friend who has been down on her luck. She called me immediately to thank me. I sent her a second check and again received an immediate thank you. I would have sent my nieces another check if they had acknowledged the original

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Nov. 27: This year your increased intensity dominates nearly any scene. You could become controlling or sarcastic. If you are single, those traits will not be especially desirable. If you are attached, your sweetie expresses a lot of good will.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) A strong, self-disciplined effort brings results. If you do not stay focused, you could lose your sense of direction. Tonight: Relax with a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be overwhelmed by someone’s decision.

You might not see eye-to-eye with this person. Tonight: Where friends are.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Let others complain if they wish to do so. You could be on overload and feel exhausted. Tonight: Opt for a good night’s sleep.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You detect a new tone among friends and a key supporter.

These individuals are sick of the status quo and want to support change. Tonight: Reach out to someone at a distance.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You understand a lot more about how much pressure a key individual can handle. You could be taken aback by this person’s choices. Tonight: Your treat.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Know that it might be very important to your well-being to seek a different perspective.

How you relay information to a key person might not make a difference,

gift. I am disheartened to think I have such ungrateful relatives. How do I handle this disappointment? — Frustrated in Michigan Dear Michigan: Please recognize that it’s quite possible these girls have never written a thankyou note and were not taught that it is appropriate and expected. Here is your opportunity to teach them.

Contact each girl individually and ask whether she received the gift and liked it. It’s OK to say that you were disappointed not to hear from them, because it made them appear ungrateful and surely that was not their intent. We think they will fall all over themselves thanking you, as well they should.

as his or her mind could be traveling to yonder places. Tonight: Could be a late one.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A partner could be overwhelming. You might need to help this person become more conscious of his or her verbosity through a positive conversation. Tonight: Let your mind drift to music.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Listen to solutions, and be more forthright about what is happening. A certain individual might need your support more than you realize. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to do something differently, yet someone in your immediate environment is set in his or her ways. Realize what is happening behind the scenes with a money matter. Tonight: Clear up the confusion.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Tap into your creative side during the day. You will be confident when you decide to act.

Tonight: Get some much-needed rest.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stay firm in your dealings. You understand that you will gain if you are persistent, especially if it involves a real-estate or domestic matter. Tonight: Add “fun” to your repertoire.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Remain open and creative in your dealings. You are likely to have several calls coming in from a relative and/or a close associate. Tonight: Let your imagination choose.
