KANSAS BOARD OF REGENTS

Reviews of tenured professors proposed ——

Trend may be aimed at ensuring accountability

“Right now we use mats instead of beds,” Henderson said of the current shelter. “We have a lot of people who sit on the floor to eat.

The new place will have beds; it will have dining tables. It will be humane, decent, terrific. It won’t be fancy, but it will be fancy compared to what we’re used to.”

The new shelter

With the likely addition of a few words to a Kansas Board of Regents policy, tenured faculty members at Kansas University within the next few years will encounter a process they never have before: “post-tenure review.”

The way Board of Regents Vice Chairman Fred Logan describes it, that would mean a periodic assessment of where a tenured professor’s career is going, perhaps every five years.

“I think that post-tenure review — when it’s done by faculty and by university leaders, it’s a very affirming process for tenured professors,” Logan said. “It is a way to really improve what they’re doing.”

Logan supports a new line of policy the regents are considering that would require each state university to institute a post-tenure review procedure. He said the regents could approve it as soon as their December meeting.

Post-tenure review has been a trend in higher education in recent years, said Andrew Torrance, a KU professor of law who also serves as Faculty Senate president. He said he believes it’s partially motivated by a desire to keep faculty members accountable.

And accountability is not something most faculty are opposed to, he said, as long as it’s accomplished fairly.

“Sometimes faculty may get off track, and we think

WILLIAM RENFRO, A VOLUNTEER AT THE LAWRENCE COMMUNITY SHELTER, takes a break from cleaning up on Friday in preparation for the shelter’s move from its downtown site. The homeless shelter will move into larger quarters in southeast Lawrence near the Douglas County Jail shortly after Christmas.

Lawrence Community Shelter’s new home is almost ready

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A new $3 million shelter for the area’s homeless likely will open its doors by the end of the year.

The shelter has tentatively scheduled a communitywide open house from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Dec. 2 at the new shelter, which is located in a former industrial building just east of the Douglas County Jail on the city’s southeast side.

“It is really moving along well,” said Loring Henderson, director of Lawrence Community Shelter. “The walls are going up; the wires are going in. You can absolutely see the shape of the dining room, the day room, the kitchen.

“It’s exciting. It looks like a shelter now.”

Lawrence-based B.A. Construction is estimating it will complete the renovation project by Dec. 21. Henderson said the shelter could begin

moving shortly after the Christmas holiday.

“We intend to be out there right around the first of the year,” Henderson said.

The new 15,000-squarefoot shelter will have room for 125 beds, up from 75 that can be housed at the current shelter. Henderson said the space is needed now.

When the weather turned cold recently, Henderson said the shelter was full with 75 overnight guests, a neigh-

boring church housed 15 more, and 18 people were given blankets to sleep outside and were told to check in at the shelter periodically to ensure they were surviving the elements.

In addition to the extra sleeping space, which will include an area devoted to homeless families, the shelter also will have a dining room that serves three meals a day and office space for agencies that provide everything from

Library celebrates author’s imprint on literature

By Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Through the years, more than one angry reader has written Sara Paretsky to say they don’t like her weaving political and social issues into her V.I. Warshawski novels.

Isn’t she supposed to be entertaining them?

Paretsky disagrees that Sara Paretsky will be the guest of honor at a Lawrence Public Library the two are mutually exclusive.

After all, Warshawski — the female private investigator who’s been solving her way through Paretsky’s mysteries since 1982 — is now 50, aging somewhat slower than Paretsky herself, 65.

Paretsky doesn’t write novels to prove a political point, but she’s inspired by issues that trouble her personally, and using

them helps keep Warshawski up to date.

“I think that is the biggest challenge for someone who is writing a series is to make it both coherent and fresh at the same time,” Paretsky said.

Foundation Executive Director Kathleen Morgan said the award was designed to honor a current or former Lawrence

resident whose work has made a difference, and Paretsky’s certainly qualifies.

“She’s a true trailblazer in the mystery writing world,” Morgan said.

“Before you had all these hard-nosed female detectives, she introduced V.I. Warshawski and took the mystery writing world by storm.”

Logan, too, said he expected the faculty at the regents universities to take part in the planning process.

“I see it happening sometime next school year. It’s a lengthy process, I think.”

He said he did not want the regents to impose any specific policy on the subject.

GOP raises specter of Medicaid expansion as campaign issue

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s allies have raised the potential expansion of the state’s Medicaid program as a campaign issue in the days before Tuesday’s election decides races for the Kansas Legislature, with conservative Republicans seeking to bind Democrats to President Barack Obama and the federal health care overhaul.

The federal law enacted in 2010 contemplates an expansion of Medicaid to cover millions of uninsured Americans, and it promises that the federal government will pick up the full cost until 2016 and most of it afterward. A U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in June said states could refuse to expand their programs, which provide health coverage for the poor, the disabled and elderly.

Many Kansas Republicans are skeptical of the funding promises, noting the federal government’s ongoing budget problems.

Officials assume Brownback will declare after the election whether Kansas will opt in or out of

Paretsky’s 15th Warshawski novel, “Breakdown,” came out in January.

Publisher’s Weekly describes the plot: The book begins with Warshawski going in search of search of several well-connected 12and 13-year-old girls who are out after curfew. She finds them in a cemetery, steps away from a freshly deceased man. Media attention on two of the girls — the daughter of Sophy Durango, a U.S. Senate candidate, and the granddaughter of Chaim Salanter, a wealthy Jewish businessman linked to Durango’s campaign — intensifies an already mudslinging political race, particularly when it’s revealed that the girls were trying to perform a “vampire” ritual from their favorite supernatural novel.

Paretsky said her goto fictitious media conglomerate — and a nonfictitious social problem — serves as a jumping off point for the story.

“One of the things that really is on my mind just as a citizen is the 24hour news cycle and the way in which it sort of eats people up, the way in which stories can be put out that are totally false but that nobody is out there fact-checking,” Paretsky said. “We’re so awash in information that may or may not be accurate, but people are making decisions based on it.”

Paretsky said she’d seen modern reviews of Charles Dickens that criticize how he incorporated politics of the day into his novels. Novels written with the sole purpose of

watching how the new system works out. City commissioners have been supportive of the new shelter policy, but also have said the new rules may mean some of downtown’s more chronic homeless population may not choose to move to the new location.

“I know we’re going to see some very positive impacts for the people who choose to stay at the new shelter,” said City Commissioner Hugh Carter.

“But the community needs to be realistic. This new

the expansion, but retiring House Speaker Mike O’Neal, a conservative Hutchinson Republican who’s also chief executive officer of the powerful Kansas Chamber of Commerce, said last week that voters need to know whether legislators and candidates would support an expansion.

The chamber already has attacked Democrats for opposing a proposed health care “freedom” provision for the state constitution, protesting the federal law’s mandate that most Americans buy health insurance starting in 2014. O’Neal issued his statements as Democrats were pointing out that the measure was largely symbolic, countering the chamber’s assertions in mailings that the proposal would “stop the Obama agenda at the Kansas border.”

But the Medicaid issue also ties into longstanding Republican themes portraying Democrats as advocates of big government. A report in July from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation said an expansion would cover nearly 264,000 adults in Kansas — where 393,000 residents now receive health

coverage through the state.

“The simple fact is, we can’t afford it,” said House Majority Leader Arlen Siegfreid, a conservative Olathe Republican, adding that if Obama is re-elected, “We’re going to be watching that very closely.”

Democrats aren’t openly embracing a Medicaid expansion, even if they believe it would reduce the number of uninsured Kansans. They contend the state can’t seriously contemplate any additional spending because of massive income tax cuts enacted this year.

Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman Joan Wagnon said any discussion of expanding Medicaid was “rendered moot” when Brownback signed the tax cuts in May. Legislative researchers estimate that the cuts are worth $4.5 billion over the next six years and project that the reductions — meant to stimulate the economy — will produce collective budget shortfalls approaching $2.5 billion during the same period.

“He’s dug a hole as big as the Grand Canyon in the budget,” Wagnon said.

AFTER HOURS WITH SARA PARETSKY Best-selling author and Lawrence native Sara Paretsky will be the guest of honor this week at a Lawrence Public Library Foundation event.

The event, to honor Paretsky with the Community Enrichment Award and raise money for the library, will feature an onstage interview with the author, preceded by a social hour with desserts

and an auction of wine and gift baskets.

The evening begins at 7 p.m. Friday at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Tickets are $35 in advance or $40 at the door. Table sponsorships are available.

To purchase tickets, go online to lawrencepubliclibraryfoundation.org. For more information, call the foundation at 843-3833, ext. 131.

proving a point are boring, and Paretsky said she hopes hers don’t “fall into that trap.” But she thinks Dickens was onto something with his backdrops that didn’t always paint a rosy picture of society.

“You come away both with a really great story and more awareness of what was going on in the world he was living in,” she said.

Paretsky has been busy — almost too busy, she said — with appearances this fall while working on her next book. While some writers can work on the road, Paretsky said it’s not for her.

“I just have to be in a place where I can get centered,” she said.

Paretsky said yes to the Lawrence appearance, noting she’s proud of her connection to the city, which has voted to expand its library despite the economic downturn and where her mother was a longtime children’s librarian. She said she hopes her visit will help the library’s cause.

“The library, libraries in general, are hugely important in my life and any writers’ lives,” Paretsky said. “A lot of people in this era think that you should not spend money on the common good, that it’s sort of every person for themselves. ... Lawrence has really stepped up and made a commitment to the book,

to accessibility.”

Paretsky’s next book — she’s under contract to write another in the V.I. Warshawski series — is due out around September of next year.

She’s currently trying to meld a vision with a story line, and facing the same challenges any writer would.

“I’ve wanted for a long time to write a novel set in the world of physics in the 1930s,” she said, explaining that she hopes to create a plot with a backstory set in Vienna, but that researching physics is no easy task. “Whether I will ever actually get these two sections together, I’m beginning to wonder.”

While Friday’s event won’t include any sneakpeeks of the unfinished novel, Paretsky said she planned to talk passionately about what “the word made visible” means for her own life and for the world.

Paretsky — who recalled once asking a bookstore employee to interrupt a reading with score updates while the Kansas University football team played in a bowl game — is also planning to catch a KU women’s basketball game during her visit.

“I really am a Jayhawk,” she said.

shelter is not going to relieve every challenge we have with the homeless downtown.”

Carter, though, said the city will need to wait and see what issues may develop once the shelter and the drop-in center leave the downtown area.

“Whether they are issues the city steps up and deals with or whether they are privately dealt with, I’m not sure,” Carter said.

BRIEFLY Teen burglar must apologize to churches HUTCHINSON — A 16-yearold serial burglar who targeted Hutchinson churches has been ordered to apologize in person to the six congregations he victimized.

The apologies were part of the sentence Reno County District Judge Tim Chambers imposed Friday against Joshua Hickey, of Hutchinson, The Hutchinson News reported.

Hickey, one of four people arrested in a spate of burglaries and thefts around the city from early April to late July, was charged as an adult in the case after investigators said he was the common element in all of the crimes.

He avoided trial by pleading guilty in early October to 38 counts, including 19 felonies, in connection with 14 separate break-ins.

Chambers sentenced the teen to 16 months on each burglary count and ordered them to run consecutively. The judge then granted him two years’ probation under Community Corrections supervision, as called for in Kansas sentencing guidelines.

No time frame was set for the apologies, which the judge said would benefit both the church congregations and Hickey himself.

Full week of events to honor veterans

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

Veterans Day is Sunday, and military-related groups at Kansas University are doing more than ever to mark the occasion.

KU students and staff have a weeklong KANSAS slate of UNIVERSITY events lined up to honor and reach out to veterans, culminating with a bigger-than-ever Veterans Day Run on the morning of Nov. 11.

This is the second year

that KU’s Collegiate Veterans Association has planned a full week of events leading up to Veterans Day, said KU senior Jake Robinson, who serves as president of the student group.

And it’s the fourth year the CVA has sponsored a fundraising run on the morning of the holiday.

But this year, the newly created Veterans Chapter of the KU Alumni Association is also helping with the event, and it’s set to expand as its starting spot moves off campus to South Park.

This year’s run will include a 10-kilometer op-

tion for more ambitious runners, and organizers are expecting more than 300 runners, compared with the 60 to 100 people who have taken part in past years.

“It’s grown this year.

We’re hoping next year it’s even larger,” said retired Army Lt. Col. Randy Masten, assistant director for KU’s Office of Graduate Military Programs and one of the run’s organizers.

Masten said this year’s run would be bolstered

Library’s trees may get new life

Editor’s note: These are excerpts from Chad Lawhorn’s Town Talk column that appears on LJWorld.com daily, Monday through Friday. The print edition of Town Talk appears frequently.

Here’s something that won’t be growing for much longer: The approximately one dozen trees that line the Lawrence Public Library property.

The $19 million expansion project will require pretty much all those mature trees to be removed.

But city officials are poised to approve a unique program to at least try to ensure that those trees live on in one form or another.

Town Talk CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

have proposed a plan to convert the trees into furniture and art.

The idea is that once the trees are cut down, construction crews would save the trunks of any that are greater than 8 inches around. Jakubauskas and Burke then would have the trunks sawed into lumber and properly dried.

Artists and craftsmen then would submit proposals to use the lumber for projects. A jury would select several of the proposals, the works would be made, and then they would be exhibited and sold at an auction, with proceeds benefiting the Friends of the Library organization.

The pair estimates that there are at least a dozen oaks, sycamores and ash trees that could produce about 1,000 board feet of usable lumber.

City commissioners are scheduled to approve the proposal at their Tuesday meeting, which has a special start time of 5 p.m. because of the elections. ! Plans have been filed at City Hall to create the Langston Heights neighborhood just southwest of George Williams Way and Sixth Street. The property, which runs along the South Lawrence Trafficway and stretches down to a point just north and west of Langston Hughes School, would be a mix of single-family homes, duplexes and apartments.

The plans call for 29 lots of single-family homes on about 9 acres of property, about 50 duplexes — 100 living units since each duplex has two — on about 8.5 acres, and 86 apartment units on about 9.8 acres.

The project will need to win zoning approval at both the Planning Commission and City Commission levels before it can proceed. I mentioned how this site is near the proposed recreation center/sports complex, but probably the bigger driver for this project is the fact that a new interchange at Bob Billings Parkway and the South Lawrence Trafficway is going to become reality. Plus the completion of the eastern leg of the trafficway will help too.

It will be interesting to watch how much new development that interchange, which likely will be completed by November 2015, will spur. Particularly interesting is what type of commercial development will happen in the area. Long-range plans approved at City Hall show the area just north and east of the new interchange eventually housing a neighborhoodcommercial type of development, so think a bank, coffee shop, liquor store and that sort of thing.

New development in the area, though, will be tempered by one fact: Lawrence still has a ton of

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD empty building lots. At the end of 2011, a City Hall report estimated that there were 1,746 lots in the city that have been platted but not built upon. The majority of them — about 1,200 — are what you would consider shovel-ready.

That means all the infrastructure is in place for a house or apartment to be built on the lot.

Based on current housing trends, the city estimated the inventory of vacant lots is large enough to last for a little more than 18 years. Even if housing activity returns to the type of robust trend seen a decade ago, the number of empty lots would last for about nine years.

But none of those numbers is likely to stop developers from adding new lots if they feel they have a real winner of a location.

Being next to a road — the SLT — that can cut commute times to both Topeka and Kansas City likely will attract new residential development.

From the information filed at City Hall, it looks like the folks at Alvamar Inc. and Lawrence builder Bob Santee are behind this most recent development request. ! Not all new development in northwest Lawrence is residential in nature. Some of it is waistline in nature.

I’m talking about a new clothing alteration shop that has opened at the northeast corner of Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive.

Alterations by Sarah has opened at 4801 Bauer Farm Drive, right next to Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt. (An alteration shop next to a dessert business: Is that what we call synergy?)

The company is run by the same folks who operate six Alterations by Sarah in Wichita. The company does everything from fixing zippers to modifying wedding dresses. Sam Arif, a son of the founders of the Wichita chain, said the northwest part of Lawrence seems to be picking up momentum again when it comes to housing and apartment development. He said also the alteration business has fared OK during the economic downturn, in part because it can help people be more frugal.

The store is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday. The alteration shop also has created a partnership with Hygienic Dry Cleaners to serve as a drop-off and pickup location for the dry cleaning company.

Q:

Who is paying for the polls that are BANKRUPTCIES open during the pre-voting period and Douglas County residents or businesses filing for bank- why? Why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Election ruptcy protection recently in Day good enough?

U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Kansas, according to court records: â&#x20AC;˘ Cameron Clifton Geis, 917 Rhode Island St., Lawrence. â&#x20AC;˘ Jamie Lynn Womack, 619 Whitfield Road, Lecompton. â&#x20AC;˘ Laura Lee Dickson, 1026 Peach St., Eudora. â&#x20AC;˘ Anthony Michael Morrison, 4009 Overland Drive, Lawrence.

A:

According to Douglas County Clerk Jamie Shew, advance voting has not added to the cost of elections in Douglas County. It only involves reallocation of resources.

All election costs are part of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election budget, including advance voting. The proportion of the election budget that goes for advance voting has increased in recent election cycles as more people opt to vote in advance. In addition, Shew said, it has become more difficult to find The Journal-World does not staffing for polling places print accounts of all police reports on Election Day and more filed. The newspaper generally facilities have become rereports: â&#x20AC;˘ Burglaries, only with a loss of sistant to being used as $1,000 or more, unless there are polling places.

Advance and absentee voting have long been allowed in Kansas for voters who are away on Election Day. That includes college students, military personnel and anyone else who, for whatever reason, would be unavailable on Election Day to cast a ballot in their home precinct.

Shew noted that in 2004, there were 9,000 advance ballots cast in Douglas County. In 2008, that grew to 19,000, or 35 percent of all the ballots cast in the county. Of those, 10,000 ballots were cast at the county courthouse, which overloaded resources at that facility.

So the office ended up be-

ing under-resourced for advance voting and overresourced for Election Day. As a result, Shew said he reallocated resources for this election cycle to meet the anticipated demand.

Shew said there is no indication that advance voting will decrease in the future. Based on voter requests, he expects it will continue to increase.

BRIEFLY Missing teen girl returns home safely A 16-year-old Lawrence girl who had been missing since Friday evening returned home Sunday evening, according to her family.

The family of Chelsea R. Tebe, a Free State High School student, had taken to social media throughout the weekend, seeking help in locating her. The girl had not been heard from since Friday night.

The family had also filed a police report.

Chelseaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Charity Tebe, contacted the Journal-World on Sunday evening and reported that Chelsea had returned safely and was not harmed during her absence.

Charity Tebe said she wanted to thank the many people who had helped spread the word about her daughter.

Legislators favor parole for killer TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two Kansas legislators are urging state corrections officials to parole a convicted killer serving a life sentence for murdering a 75-year-old Topeka woman 31 years ago.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reported there may be others in the Legislature who think 63-year-old Ormond Wimberly Jr. is ready to re-enter society, but the Department of Corrections isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t releasing that information.

Wimberly was convicted of the 1981 death of Sarah Woody, who was shot five times during a robbery.

Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who adamantly opposes Wimberlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said the inmate already was on parole for a previous murder when he killed Woody.

Republican Rep. John Grange and Democratic Sen. Oletha Foust-Goudeau wrote letters last month to the Prisoner Review Board in favor of granting Wimberly parole.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A low-flying police helicopter searching for a runaway boy hit a power line pole before it plummeted to the ground and exploded, killing both officers on board but leaving those on the ground unharmed.

Federal authorities were investigating what caused the chopper to crash into power lines along on a busy city street. Electricity was knocked out to nearby homes and businesses in an area filled with shopping plazas, fast-food restaurants and a gas station.

The 9-year-old boy was found wandering on a city street a couple of hours after the crash late Saturday night, Atlanta police spokesman Officer John Chafee said Sunday. He ran away after being scolded by his mother.

The two officers were identified Sunday as pilot Richard J. Halford, 48, of Lithia Springs, who had been with the department for 26 years, and Shawn A. Smiley, 40, of Lithonia, a tactical flight officer who joined the department two years ago.

Several NBC websites hacked WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Several NBC websites were hacked on Sunday by a person or group calling itself â&#x20AC;&#x153;pyknicâ&#x20AC;? and suggesting a possible link to the cyber-attack group Anonymous.

It appeared that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;defacementâ&#x20AC;? of the affected sub-sites was cleaned up in a couple hours. NBC and its various websites appeared to be functioning normally as of Sunday evening.

However, older versions maintained by search engines such as Google and Bing still bore the message â&#x20AC;&#x153;hacked by pyknicâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a possible reference to an obscure hacker or â&#x20AC;&#x153;hacktivistâ&#x20AC;? group.

The message said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Remember, remember the fifth of November.â&#x20AC;? That reference suggested a link to Anonymous, a movement of cyber rebels which has appropriated much of the symbolism around Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming Guy Fawkes Day, a holiday meant to mark the failed plot to blow up the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliament in 1605.

However, conclusively determining responsibility for such attacks can be nearly impossible.

2-year-old killed at Pa. zoo exhibit PITTSBURGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 2-year-old boy visiting the Pittsburgh zoo was killed Sunday morning when he fell off a railing that his mother had put him on top of to view a pack of African painted dogs, who pounced on the child and mauled him, police said.

It was not clear whether the boy died from the fall into the wild dog exhibit area or from the attack, said Barbara Baker, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very horrific,â&#x20AC;? said Lt. Kevin Kraus of the Pittsburgh police, who added that the dogs attacked â&#x20AC;&#x153;immediatelyâ&#x20AC;? after the boy fell at about 11:45 a.m. Zoo officials at first estimated the boy fell 14 feet, but police said it was 11. It was not clear which was correct.

When the boy fell, other visitors immediately told staff members, who responded along with Pittsburgh police. Zookeepers called off some of the dogs, and seven of them immediately went to a back building. Three more eventually were drawn away from the child, but the last dog was aggressive and police had to shoot the animal, officials said.

The zoo was immediately closed; it was not clear when it would be reopened, authorities said.

Bombing injures 11; exiles plan for a government

By Patrick J. McDonnell Los Angeles Times

BEIRUT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The latest in a string of bombings rocked Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital, Damascus, on Sunday as deeply divided Syrian opposition figures outside the country moved toward creating a unified government in exile.

The explosion, near a trade union office, injured 11 people, the official Syrian news service reported.

Meanwhile, Syrian opposition activists began talks in the Persian Gulf state of Qatar in a bid to revitalize their fractured movement.

Deep divisions among the opposition have frustrated the United States and other governments seeking to work with a dissident front united in efforts to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and others have called for

a more unified opposition coalition including representatives from inside Syria and members of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minority groups, such as Christians and Alawites. Assad and many of his top security chiefs are adherents of the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

The Syrian National Council, the bestk n o w n exiled opposition Clinton group, is seeking to retain its stature as the pre-eminent faction and position itself as the basis for a government in exile. Some critics have assailed the council as top heavy with exiles who have lived outside Syria for decades, and said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominated by the Mus-

lim Brotherhood, the panArab Islamist group that has not had a presence in Syria for years.

The United States and other nations are said to be backing a proposal from a well-known exiled dissident, Riad Seif, to set up a new umbrella group that would include representation of rebel fighters, opposition military councils, the external opposition and others. The Syrian National Council would be part of the revamped coalition but would not dominate.

The proposed remaking of the opposition has set off a new round of internal squabbling. Representatives of the Syrian National Council are reported to be seeking a more influential role in the new coalition. Talks are expected to continue in Doha, the Qatari capital this week.

Apple paid only 1.9 percent tax on earnings outside U.S.

By The Associated Press

Apple Inc. paid an income tax rate of only 1.9 percent on its earnings outside the U.S. in its latest fiscal year, a regulatory filing by the company shows.

The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable company paid $713 million in tax on foreign earnings of $36.8 billion in the fiscal year ended Sept.

29, according to the financial statement filed on Oct. 31. The foreign earnings were up 53 percent from fiscal 2011, when Apple earned $24 billion outside the U.S. and paid income tax of 2.5 percent on it.

The tech giantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign tax rate compares with the general U.S. corporate tax rate of 35 percent.

Apple may pay some income taxes on its profit to the country in which it sells its products, but it minimizes them by using

various accounting moves to shift profits to countries with low tax rates.

Other multinational corporations also use such tax techniques, which are legal.

Like other big companies, Apple leaves cash overseas. If it brought it home to the U.S., it would have to pay U.S. corporate taxes on the money.

The cash that Apple has left overseas as of Sept. 29 has mounted to a stunning $82.6 billion, up from $74 billion as of June 30.

Where Apple does differ from other companies is that it sets aside a portion of the foreign profits, marking them as subject to U.S. taxes sometime in the future.

When Apple reports quarterly results, it records that portion of the taxes as a liability, which is subtracted from its profits even though it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually paid the taxes.

2012 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

Obama leads electoral race

By Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

COLUMBUS, OHIO — President Barack Obama enters the final hours of the 2012 campaign with an edge in the hunt for the 270 electoral votes needed to win and more ways to reach that magic number.

Yet the race is remarkably close in at least six states that could go either way, giving Republican Mitt Romney hope that he can pull off a come-from-behind victory.

If the election were held now, an Associated Press analysis found that Obama would be all but assured of 249 votes, by carrying 20 states that are solidly Democratic or leaning his way — Iowa, Nevada and Pennsylvania among them — and the District of Columbia.

Romney would lay claim to 206, from probable victories in 24 states that are strong Republican turf or tilt toward the GOP, including North Carolina.

Up for grabs are 83 electoral votes spread across Colorado, Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire, Virginia and Wisconsin. Of those, Republicans and Democrats alike say Obama seems in a bit better shape than Romney in Ohio and Wisconsin, while Romney appears to be performing slightly better than Obama or has pulled even in Florida and Virginia.

The AP’s analysis is not meant to be predictive, but instead to provide a snapshot of a race that has been extraordinarily close from the outset. The analysis is based on interviews with more than a dozen Republican and Democratic strategists in Washington and in the most contested states; public polls; internal campaign surveys; early vote figures; spending on television advertising; candidate travel; and get-out-the-vote organizations.

Both Republicans and Democrats say Tuesday’s election has tightened across the board in the homestretch. Many factors are adding to the uncertainty, including early vote tallies, Election Day turnout and the impact of Superstorm Sandy in the East.

Rivals stress differences, hopes of bipartisanship

By David Espo and Julie Pace Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD, FLA. — Two days from judgment by the voters, President Barack Obama raced through four far-flung battleground states on Sunday while Mitt Romney ventured into traditionally Democratic Pennsylvania, seeking a breakthrough in a close race he mused aloud he might lose.

Appearing before some of the largest crowds of the campaign, the two rivals stressed their differences on the economy, Obama health care and more while professing an eagerness to work a c r o s s party lines and end gridlock in Romney Washington.

“You have the power,” Obama, the most powerful political leader in the world, told thousands of cheering supporters in New Hampshire, his first appearance of a day not scheduled to end until after midnight in the East.

Later, in Cleveland, boos from Romney’s partisans turned to appreciative laughter when the Republican nominee began a sentence by saying, “If the president were to be elected,” and ended it with, “It’s possible but not likely.” It was a rare public acknowledgement that despite expressions of confidence from him and his aides, defeat was a possibility.

In a campaign that began more than a year ago, late public opinion polls were unpredictably tight for the nationwide popular vote. But they suggested at least a slim advantage for the president in the state-by-state competition for electoral votes that will settle the

contest, including Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nevada.

Conceding nothing, Romney flew to Pennsylvania for his first campaign foray of the general election. The state last voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 1988, and Obama’s aides insisted it was safe for the president. Yet the challenger and his allies began advertising heavily in the campaign’s final days, and public and private polls suggested the state was relatively close.

The theme from “Rocky” blared from the loudspeakers as he stepped to the podium.

“The people of America understand we’re taking back the White House because we’re going to win Pennsylvania,” Romney told a large crowd that had been waiting for hours on a cold night.

In Des Moines, Romney said he would meet regularly with “good men and women on both sides of the aisle” in Congress. Later, in Cleveland, he said of Obama, “Instead of bridging the divide, he’s made it wider.”

Obama had New Hampshire, Florida, Ohio and Colorado in his sights for the day, and, judging from the polls, a slight wind at his back. So much so that one conservative group cited a string of surveys that favor the president as it emailed an urgent plea for late-campaign donations so it could end his time in the White House.

In Florida, the president said he wants to work across party lines but quickly added there were limits to the sorts of compromises he would make.

“If the price of peace in Washington is cutting deals that will kick students off of financial aid, or get rid of funding for Planned Parenthood, or let insurance companies discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions, or eliminate health care for millions who are on Medicaid .... I’m not willing to pay that price,” he said, reciting some of the charges he has leveled against Romney.

The missing and incomplete results make it unclear whether the benefit credited to chelation could have occurred by chance alone. The results have not been published in a medical journal or vetted by independent scientists, another reason doctors are leery.

“The study in my view is inconclusive,” said Dr. Steven Nissen, the Cleveland Clinic’s cardiovascular chief who had no role in the research.

“Chelation has been practiced by physicians on the extreme fringes of medicine” and many involved in this study offer “a variety of other quack therapies,” Nissen said. “I’m really worried about harm coming to the public. Patients should not seek this therapy on the basis of this trial.”

Others including the Heart Association praised the government for doing the study.

“Patients are doing this with or without our permission” so it’s important to test, said Dr. John G. Harold, president-elect of the American College of Cardiology and a doctor at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles.

ACTING COPTIC POPE PACHOMIOS, LEFT, DISPLAYS THE NAME OF THE NEW POPE TAWADROS II, depicted in the large poster, center, during the papal election ceremony at the Coptic Cathedral in Cairo on Sunday. Egypt’s ancient Coptic Christian church chose a new pope in an elaborate Sunday ceremony meant to invoke the will of God, in which a blindfolded boy drew the name of the next patriarch from a crystal chalice.

Bishop Tawadros will be ordained Nov. 18 as Pope Tawadros II, the spiritual leader of a community that increasingly fears for its future amid the rise of Islamists to power in the wake of the 2011 ouster of longtime authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak.

Cold weather and new storm add to victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; misery

By Jennifer Peltz and Michael Hill

Red Cross carries on despite flak

Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shivering victims of Superstorm Sandy went to church Sunday to pray for deliverance as cold weather settling in across the New York metropolitan region â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and another powerful storm forecast for the middle of the week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; added to their misfortunes and deepened the gloom.

With overnight temperatures sinking into the 30s and hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses still without electricity six days after Sandy howled through, people slept in layers of clothes, and New York City officials handed out blankets and urged victims to go to overnight shelters or daytime warming centers.

At the same time, government leaders began to grapple with a daunting longer-term problem: where to find housing for the tens of thousands of people whose homes could be uninhabitable for weeks or months because of a combination of storm damage and cold weather.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said 30,000 to 40,000 New Yorkers may need to be relocated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a monumental task in a city where housing is scarce and expensive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though he said that number will probably drop to 20,000 within a

A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SALVATION ARMY WALKS PAST HOMES destroyed by Superstorm Sandy in Breezy Point on Sunday in New York. The beachfront neighborhood heavily populated by firefighters and police officers was devastated during the storm when a fire pushed by Sandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raging winds destroyed about 100 homes and buildings. couple of weeks as power is restored in more places.

In a heavily flooded Staten Island neighborhood, Sara Zavala spent the night under two blankets and layers of clothing because the power was out. She had a propane heater but turned it on for only a couple of hours in the morning. She did not want to sleep with it running at night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I woke up, I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s freezing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on

too much longer,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Zavala, a nursing home admissions coordinator.

Nearly a week after Sandy slammed into the New Jersey coastline in an assault that killed more than 100 people in 10 states, gasoline shortages persisted across the region, though odd-even rationing got under way in northern New Jersey in an echo of the gas crisis of the 1970s. Nearly 1 million homes and businesses were still without power in New Jersey, and

N.Y., N.J. election officials hopeful

By David B. Caruso Associated Press

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Power generators are being marshaled, polling locations moved and voting machines hurriedly put into place as officials prepare to hold an national election in storm-ravaged sections of New York and New Jersey barely a week after Superstorm Sandy.

Organizers expressed guarded confidence Sunday that the presidential vote will proceed with no major disruptions in most areas hit by the storm, though it was unclear whether the preparations would be enough to avoid depressed turnout in communities where people still lack power or have been driven from their damaged homes.

Some voters will be casting ballots in places different from their usual polls.

In Long Beach, N.Y., a barrier-island city that was inundated with wa-

ter during the storm, the number of polling places will be cut to four, down from the usual 11. Residents of the devastated borough of Sea Bright, on the New Jersey shore, will have to drive two towns over to vote.

But with two days to go until Election Day, officials in both states said Sunday they were overcoming many of their biggest challenges.

Hundreds of emergency generators have been rushed into place to ensure power at polling places, even if the neighborhoods around them are still dark. Electric utilities were putting a priority on restoring power to others and had assured election officials they would be up and running by today.

Of the 1,256 polling locations in New York City, only 59 needed to be moved or closed, said Valerie Vazquez, a spokeswoman for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Elections. Most were in coastal areas of Brooklyn

and Queens or other neighborhoods where buildings normally used for voting had been turned into shelters. In a few places, voters will be casting their ballots in tents, and some might be offered shuttle buses to get to polling spots m o v e d m i l e s from their homes.

Bloomberg S o m e New York City leaders remained worried. Mayor Michael Bloomberg noted that the polling-place changes would affect some 143,000 New Yorkers. There were concerns about whether some poll workers might fail to show up, and as of Sunday night, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voting information hotline was down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the next day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be critical that the Board of Elections communicate this new information to their poll workers,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Man climbs floors of Chicago skyscraper with bionic leg

By Michelle Janaye Nealy Associated Press

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The metal on Zac Vawter bionic leg gleamed as he climbed 103 floors of Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic Willis Tower, becoming the first person ever to complete the task wearing a mind-controlled prosthetic limb.

Vawter, who lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident, put the smart limb on public display for the first time during an annual stair-climbing charity event called â&#x20AC;&#x153;SkyRise Chicagoâ&#x20AC;? hosted by the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, where he is receiving treatment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything went great,â&#x20AC;? said Vawter at the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The prosthetic leg did its part, and I did my part.â&#x20AC;?

The robotic leg is designed to respond to electrical impulses from muscles in his hamstring. When Vawter thought about climbing the stairs, the motors, belts and chains in his leg synchronized the movements of its ankle and knee.

The computerized prosthetic limb, like something one might see in a sci-fi film,

ZAC VAWTER, A 31-YEAROLD AMPUTEE, emerges after walking up the stairs of the Willis Tower in Chicago on Sunday to become the first person to climb the 103 floors of one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tallest skyscrapers with a bionic leg. weighs about 10 pounds and holds two motors.

Bionic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or thoughtcontrolled â&#x20AC;&#x201D; prosthetic arms have been available for a few years, thanks to pioneering work done at the Rehabilitation Institute. Knowing leg amputees outnumbering

people whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost arms and hands, the Chicago researchers are focusing more on lower limbs. If a bionic hand fails, a person drops a glass of water. If a bionic leg fails, a person falls down stairs.

This event was a research project for us, said Joanne Smith, the Rehabilitation Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were testing the leg under extreme conditions. Very few patients who will use the leg in the future will be using it for this purpose. From that perspective, its performance was beyond measure,â&#x20AC;? Smith added.

To prepare for his pioneering climb, Vawter said, he practiced on a small escalator at a gym, while researchers spent months adjusting the technical aspects of the leg to ensure that it would respond to his thoughts.

When Vawter goes home to Yelm, Wash., where he lives with his wife and two children, the experimental leg will stay behind in Chicago.

Researchers will continue to refine its steering. Taking it to the market is still years away.

about 650,000 in New York City, its northern suburbs and Long Island.

With more subways running and most city schools reopening today,

large swaths of the city were getting back to something resembling normal.

But the week could bring new challenges, namely an Election Day without power in hundreds of polling places, and a norâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;easter expected to hit

by Wednesday, with the potential for 55 mph gusts and more beach erosion, flooding and rain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prepare for more outages,â&#x20AC;? said National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Pollina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay indoors. Stock up again.â&#x20AC;?

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The American Red Cross said it understands the criticism regarding its sometimes slow-moving response to Superstorm Sandy in the New York City region.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a burden that comes with being the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest private relief agency, and Red Cross officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pride in their work is constantly coupled with promises to do better next time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect people to have high expectations of us. ... It keeps us on our toes,â&#x20AC;? said Red Cross CEO Gail McGovern.

The most notable criticism came Thursday from the top elected official on hard-hit Staten Island.

Borough President James Molinaro termed the Red Cross response at that stage a disgrace and urged people not to donate to it.

As of Sunday, however, storm-related donations to the Red Cross had reached $85 million.

Wary officials County officials are understandably wary of state funding cuts that could lead to reduced services or new financial burdens for local taxpayers.

D

ouglas County officials should be forgiven for expressing some skepticism during a visit last week by the secretary of the Kansas Department of Children and Families.

When Secretary Phyllis Gilmore was asked whether there would be a renewed effort to close the local office of what previously was known as the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, Gilmore said “Nothing has been put on the table related to office closures.”

It’s probably the best answer she could give, but it’s easy to understand why local officials would take it as less than definitive. After all, the last time the state announced it would close the local SRS office, the announcement came without any previous notice to or consultation with local officials. To say “nothing has been put on the table” now doesn’t necessarily mean it couldn’t be put on the table any time in the near future again without consultation with local officials.

Even if the local DCF office remains open, local officials are understandably concerned that cuts in state funding may result in other service and financial hardships for the county. County Administrator Craig Weinaug noted that the governor’s veto of funding for an environmental program that provided grants to help local governments inspect and monitor water and wastewater systems also was done without talking to local officials and would result in Douglas County having to carve out $40,000 in its budget to replace the grant funds. District Attorney Charles Branson also noted the state no longer was assisting the county with a truancy diversion program after several SRS staff members retired.

State agencies have been instructed to submit budget proposals that would cut their current budgets by 10 percent. Gilmore said she was confident those slashed budgets wouldn’t be recommended by the governor in January. Douglas County officials and residents may be consoled by that opinion, but they also know how quickly things can change.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 5, 1912: “The three cornered presidential contest sent to the polls today YEARS many voters who took unprecAGO edented interest in the outcome IN 1912 of a campaign which had been waged with unusual bitterness.

Mid-day reports from every quarter indicate a nation-wide record-breaking vote.... It was expected that Kansas would poll over 375,000 votes, the heaviest in the history of the state....

At 2:30 this afternoon a total of 1803 had voted in the six wards in Lawrence.... From all indications the heaviest vote ever cast in the city of Lawrence was polled today.”

— Ambrose Bierce, “The Devil’s Dictionary” (1906) WASHINGTON — What another lexicographer, Samuel Johnson, said of Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” can be said of this campaign: No one ever wished it longer. Voters, having heard enough, might agree that it is splendid that in “Hamlet”

“

Tuesday night, as returns reveal whether Barack Obama or Mitt Romney has the smaller gigantic number of Americans not wanting him to be president, notice other indexes of political change.”

Polonius gets stabbed. He deserved this because his speech to Laertes taught politicians how to speak bromides.

Tuesday night, as returns reveal whether Barack Obama or Mitt Romney has the smaller gigantic number of Americans not wanting him to be president, notice other indexes of political change: Wisconsin has voted Democratic in six consecutive presidential elections. Although George W. Bush lost there by just 0.2 and 0.4 percentages in 2000 and 2004, respectively, Obama won it by 13.9 points. If Romney wins Wisconsin, one reason will be native son Paul Ryan, but another will be the unsuccessful attempt by government employees’ unions to

recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker. His counterattack created a durable political infrastructure.

Pennsylvania, which has supported five consecutive Democratic candidates, has the fourth-highest percentage of its population over 65 (behind Florida, West Virginia and Maine). If Romney wins Pennsylvania, or even comes close (in 2008, Obama won by 10.3 points), this will indicate seniors’ skepticism about Democrats’ contention that Republicans offer the elderly only wheelchairs, and only for the purpose of rolling grandmothers off cliffs.

Without spending a dime, Democratic presidential candidates win 104 electoral votes from the first (California), third (New York) and fifth (Illinois) most populous states. Tuesday’s Texas voting might suggest that, perhaps eight years hence, Hispanic voters could turn the second-most populous state purple, en route to blue.

Gov. Jerry Brown’s plan to combat California’s fiscal implosion caused by public employees’ unions is — surprise!

— to raise taxes. Proposition 30 would increase sales and income taxes. If voters reject this, and pass Proposition 32 to limit unions’ powers to fund political activities by si-

phoning money from workers’ paychecks, Californians will have a glimmer of hope for regime change. Meanwhile, if Michiganders pass Proposal 2, they will put their state on California’s downward trajectory. This union-backed measure would buttress unions’ strength by making collective bargaining by public employees a constitutional right, and by making right-to-work laws unconstitutional.

Maryland is one of several states voting on measures pertaining to same-sex marriage.

Maryland’s would block the law passed by the Legislature to legalize such marriage. If the measure to block it fails, this will be particularly interesting because Maryland has the highest percentage of African-Americans (31 percent) of any state outside the Deep South, and social conservatism disposes many AfricanAmericans against redefining marriage. If Maryland and other states endorse gay marriage in popular votes, this will call into question the necessity, and hence the wisdom, of a litigation strategy rather than a democratic persuasion strategy for advancing gay rights.

The abortion debate became embittered when the Supreme Court’s judicial fiat with Roe v. Wade (1973) truncated democratic deliberations that

in the previous five years had liberalized abortion laws in 16 states with 41 percent of the nation’s population.

Finally, when Maine used to elect members of Congress in September, the saying was, “As Maine goes, so goes the nation.” Then in 1936, when President Franklin Roosevelt beat Alf Landon in 46 of 48 states, the joke was, “As Maine goes, so goes Vermont.” Tuesday evening the saying could be “As Maine’s 2nd Congressional District goes, so goes the presidency.” Forty-eight states allocate all their electoral votes to the winner of the statewide popular vote. Nebraska and Maine, however, award two votes to the statewide winner, but one to whomever carries each congressional district.

Obama will win Maine’s popular vote, but Romney might win the 2nd District. Conceivably, one electoral vote could be the difference between 270-268 and 269-269 with the House of Representatives picking the president.

So, there. Enjoy Tuesday evening, after voting with Woody Allen’s wisdom in mind: “One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness.

The other, to total extinction.

Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.”

Medical crisis yields new respect, friends I embarked on nightly adventures aboard the Morphine Express during a recent 12-day sojourn at Lawrence Memorial Hospital. I showed up at a New England farm for a Thanksgiving hunt, chasing pheasants in the snow on a horse-drawn sleigh. I visited a new town that had been built overnight next door to my home by an eccentric tycoon. I found myself in a gourmet food shop that was poaching a suspicious-looking delicacy and nearly cried to the nurse for help when I saw the proprietor eyeing my arms and legs with unseemly interest.

One morning I woke up in a friend’s basement. Summoned to the task by some oriental mystic, I’d spent the entire night painting the ceilings of his house in gold.

Suddenly, I realized that the hospital staff was going to be furious when they noticed my absence. I called my wife to come fetch me. Looking around, I noticed a Lawrence Memorial poster on the wall.

I thought it strange that my friends would be renting out their basement to the hospital. Little by little, familiar details came into focus. At last I recognized I was in my hospital room. How I got back there I do not know.

Morphine endowed me with extraordinary powers.

I traveled back and forth in time. I passed through stone walls. I wrote numerous brilliant books, now sadly lost to posterity. I read “War and Peace” in a matter of minutes. Many wonders transpired while my family kept constant vigil, wondering if I was going to live or die.

Back story: Last July I woke up in the middle of the night with an excruciating pain in

George Gurley

“

But one thing I have learned is a keener appreciation for the miracles of modern medicine.” my stomach. I tried an overthe-counter nostrum, but by early morning the pain was so great that I was crawling around the room, begging for deliverance. Going to the hospital for a stomachache seemed wimpish, but at last I capitulated and off we raced with my wife at the wheel.

The trip to Lawrence seemed endless. Somewhere along the way I became aware of a third presence in the car. It was Death, just along for the ride, in case his services were needed. Curiously, the prospect of my demise didn’t feel me with alarm or sorrow. There was no flash of light revealing the meaning of life. Death seemed unremarkable, mundane.

After we arrived at the hospital, action was swift. A CAT scan revealed that my colon, like a rogue reptilian tail, had wrapped itself around my intestines and was cutting off their blood supply. Prospects weren’t good. One of the doctors later showed me a cellphone photo of my innards displayed like sausages in a butcher shop.

He compared their appearance to charbroiled bratwursts.

One small segment alone was a healthy pink. The conserva-

tive approach would have been to remove all the brats, which would have condemned me to a life of intravenous feeding, a life that “wouldn’t be worth living,” according to one opinion. One of the doctors said he didn’t expect to see me alive again.

But it turned out that this was just a dress rehearsal for the ultimate event. It was my good fortune that Chad Tate was on duty that morning. A doctor with an aptitude for thinking outside the box, he decided against radical surgery. He untangled my organs and gave them a chance to rejuvenate. I spent the night on the ventilator with my guts, to speak indelicately, also “outside the box,” wrapped in some kind of high tech towel. By the next morning, they’d recovered remarkably. I underwent three surgeries in four days, leaving me with my plumbing somewhat diminished.

You might suppose that an experience such as this would change me for the better, would make me wiser, more serene, more appreciative of the preciousness of life. I regret to say that, three months out, I’m my old self again, full of petty anxieties and insecurities, selfish and hedonistic desires. And tedious. Like the Ancient Mariner, I stoppeth one of three and pour out my story, imagining that the details are as fascinating to everyone as they are to me. Life once again seems something I’m entitled to, death something that happens to somebody else.

But one thing I have learned is a keener appreciation for the miracles of modern medicine. Above all, I’m in awe of Lawrence’s outstanding hospital. I’ve visited other hospitals where the staff was surly and unresponsive. The Lawrence Memo-

rial nurses were competent, compassionate and tirelessly solicitous of my comfort.

Other doctors ably assisted Dr. Tate in saving my life. I shall never forget what you people did for me.

“All patients are different,” Tate said. So is every doctor, I might add. I will be eternally grateful to him for his bold approach to my predicament. Keep that in mind when you contemplate the direction our health care seems headed, in which a remote bureaucratic committee may dictate “best practices.” Medicine is an art as well as a science. If my doctor had been required to submit to rigid regulatory procedures I might now be living a life “not worth living.”

It came out that medicine was Tate’s second career. He started out as a CPA. Once he’d earned that distinction, he decided that life in a cubicle working on tax returns was not for him.

“I love surgery,” he said.

Speaking like a relief pitcher, he added, “I love to get a save.”

A few months later, I ran into a Kansas University professor who expressed displeasure with a column I’d written about Barack Obama. We navigated away from that treacherous topic to the subject of our health. By another coincidence, he’d recently undergone an ordeal similar to my own. We traded details about our sufferings and parted on friendly terms. Here was something to meditate on. He and I are probably diametrically opposed in ideology, but as members of the Fraternal Order of the Digestive Tract, we are joined by a sacred bond.

KU WOMEN 88, FORT HAYS STATE 43

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Adams taking it slow ... for now He scored 54 points in a game as a sophomore in high school and idolizes Jamal Crawford, an NBA player who starts shooting before he steps off the bus.

That combination suggests that making the transition from superstar to complementary player won’t come without its challenges, but give Kansas University freshman guard Rio Adams credit for trying.

A 6-foot-3, 190-pound combination guard from Seattle, Adams fights the urge to show the world immediately how good he is on every play. Succumbing to that urge Adams would mean sitting on the bench. The path to playing time lies in showing his coach he can use his length, strength and quickness to play good defense, and keep the ball moving without turning it over at the other end.

As a high school standout in Seattle, Adams spent two years playing for Franklin High, for which he had that 54-point game, and two years at Rainier Beach.

“I feel like I could do some stuff like that here,” Adams said of the 54-point game after Sunday’s practice. “It was just my time at the time when that happened. Right now, I’m in the learning process like I was at Franklin my freshman year.”

Adams will seek to defend tonight in an exhibition against Washburn the way he did last week against Emporia State, which didn’t bring as much talent and efficiency onto the Allen Fieldhouse floor as the Ichabods will.

Adams already had the look of a big-time defender.

“It was taking me a while to get the offense down, so I used the defense to get me warm and going,” Adams said of his adjustment to college basketball. “I’m picking things up a little quicker than I was before. The defense was just keeping me on the floor, keeping me warm.”

As for what sort of an offensive player Adams can become, Kansas coach Bill Self doesn’t care to explore that just yet.

“Right now, I’m not even talking to him about that,” Self said. “I’m just talking to him about, ‘Are you taking care of the ball and are you playing great defense?’ He’s a good offensive player, but he’s thinking too much right now.

“I think as he just makes plays defensively and makes the game easier for other guys, I think he knows I’ll get confidence in him and he’ll start playing better offensively. But right now, I’ve got him pretty sped up. He doesn’t know if he’s coming or going, and I’m not sure that’s all bad right now.”

Listening to Adams talk about his game, it quickly becomes evident

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S MONICA ENGELMAN, CENTER, GOES BASELINE FOR AN EASY LAYUP during Kansas’ final exhibition game against Fort Hays State University on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks won, 88-43, and open the season against Idaho State at 2 p.m. next Sunday.

KU women encouraged by balance in rout of FHSU

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Back in the summer, when members of Kansas University’s women’s basketball team spent their spare time playing pick-up games, senior point guard Angel Goodrich began to see flashes of what the Jayhawks could become.

She noticed the varied styles and strengths her teammates brought to the floor and thought KU just might have the right combination of depth and variety to put together another successful season.

MORE PHOTOS # For more photos from the KU women’s basketball exhibition victory over Fort Hays State, go to KUSports.com

It was just an exhibition against NCAA Division II Fort Hays State, but Goodrich felt that way again following KU’s 88-43 dismantling of the Tigers Sunday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.

“I felt like everyone played so well chemistry wise,” said

Goodrich, who led Kansas with 19 points and six assists.

That trend began from the jump, with all five of the Jayhawks’ starters scoring within the first five minutes.

Goodrich (9-for-12 shooting) knocked down a three and scored two layups, sophomore guard Natalie Knight drained another three-pointer, sophomore forward Bunny Williams made a short jumper, senior forward Carolyn Davis scored in the paint and senior guard Monica Engelman got to the rim for a layup.

By the 15:15 mark, the Tigers

— hampered by the absence of senior point guard Kaiameka Brown — trailed 16-6 and the Jayhawks led by double digits the rest of the game.

When coach Bonnie Henrickson went to her bench, it was more of the same.

Sophomore forward Chelsea Gardner drew a foul and hit two free throws, junior guard CeCe Harper scored in transition, junior forward Tania Jackson got an easy hoop off a touch pass from Goodrich and sophomore guard Asia Boyd Please see KU WOMEN, page 3B

D-II elite Ichabods offer Jayhawks stiffer test EXHIBIT NO. 2

By Gary Bedore

What: Washburn vs. KU men’s basketball When: 7 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse TV: Jayhawk Network (Cable chs. 3, 13, 203, 213)

Basketball fans will find out tonight what happens when one of the top teams in NCAA Div. I takes on one of the elite teams in Div. II. Tipoff for an intriguing exhibition contest between No. 7-ranked Kansas University and No. 2 Washburn is 7 p.m., in Allen Fieldhouse with a live telecast on the Jayhawk Network (local cable channels 3, 13, 203, 213).

gbedore@ljworld.com

“I see this as a big game for the both of us ... them coming in with such a high standard for their year and us, as well,” said KU senior point guard Elijah Johnson. “I feel it’s a good test for both schools.

I feel we’ll both go out and play hard,” Johnson added.

There are bragging rights at stake for Johnson and several of his KU teammates, who worked veteran coach Bob Chipman’s camps this past summer.

“He’s a cool dude, funny,

a cool person to be around,” Johnson said of Chipman, whose 34th Ichabod team may be his finest considering it returns 90 percent of the scoring and 94 percent of the rebounding from last year’s 25-8 squad.

Washburn has already played a pair of unranked Big 12 squads in the past week.

The Ichabods, who trailed by six points with 16 minutes to play, fell at Oklahoma, 8366, on Saturday after losing at Kansas State, 81-61, on Oct. 30.

Will McNeill, a 6-1 senior guard from Alexandria, La., who averaged 20.2 points and 5.5 rebounds a game last season, has averaged 15 points and 4.5 rebounds in the two practice games.

“They can win the national championship in Div. II,” KU coach Bill Self said. “They played K-State even after K-State jumped all over them early. It was a 6-point game the second Please see KU MEN, page 12B

Weis ‘surprised’ by lack of production by receivers

KANSAS UNIVERSITY WIDE RECEIVER CHRIS OMIGIE BOBBLES a would-be touchdown pass during the third quarter against Baylor on Saturday at Floyd Please see ADAMS, page 12B Casey Stadium in Waco, Texas.

By now, after two quarterbacks and eight losses, it has become obvious that the Kansas University football team is lacking in the quarterback department.

But with the promise and potential of BYU transfer Jake Heaps waiting to rescue the position, it seems fair to say that wide receiver is the position at which KU needs the most help.

Never was that more evident than during Saturday’s 41-14 loss at Baylor, when KU quarterbacks Michael Cummings and Dayne Crist completed just five passes to

wide receivers and watched the best throw of the day from either guy bounce off the hands of KU junior Chris Omigie and into the arms of a Baylor defender.

The issue wasn’t so much that Omigie dropped the pass as it was that the fourth-year junior represents the lack of production and development that has plagued KU’s wide receivers in recent seasons.

“Am I surprised we haven’t gotten more production out of this position? Yes, I’m surprised,” KU coach Charlie Weis said Sunday night.

Tide still No. 1; Ducks inch up BCS

By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Football Writer

The toughest tests of the season were passed, and Alabama and Oregon are still perfect.

The Crimson Tideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aura of invincibility was the only thing lost.

A thrilling Saturday produced some great games but no upsets and few changes among the highest ranked teams in The Associated Press Top 25 released Sunday.

Those fortunate enough to be able to keep track of multiple games got the chance to compare and contrast the contenders, and maybe a sense about how they would stack up against each other.

Alabama, which scored late to beat LSU 21-17, is No. 1 for the 10th straight week in the AP poll. Oregon beat Southern California 62-51 and is No. 2 for the seventh consecutive week.

Kansas State remains at No. 3 after beating Oklahoma State 44-30, and Notre Dame stays at No. 4 after rallying to beat Pittsburgh 29-26 in triple overtime.

The BCS standings came out later Sunday, and Oregon took advantage of Notre Dameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles by passing the Fight-

ing Irish and moving into third place, behind Alabama and Kansas State. Thanks to the Ducksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; back-loaded schedule, a BCS title game between Oregon and Alabama seems to be the most likely scenario if all the unbeaten keep winning.

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showdowns in the Southeastern Conference and Pac-12 were played at the same time and for a while presented an almost comical contrast of styles.

While the Ducks and Trojans were trading scores on almost every possession, the Tide and Tigers were banging heads and plodding along.

By halftime, Oregon led USC 34-24 in a game that was clearly far from being decided. SEC fans scoffed at the lack of defense.

Meanwhile, in Baton Rouge, La., Alabama held a 14-3 lead at half that had to seem insurmountable to even LSU fans.

The Tigers had run their string of touchdown-less quarters against the Tide to 10. Fans tired of SEC superiority scoffed at the lack of offense.

After the break in Los Angeles, the Ducks and Trojans just kept on rolling, but USC never did get closer than three. No surprise there.

The unexpected came in Death Valley, where LSU found its offense and picked apart an Alabama defense that has looked close to invincible this season.

The Tigers put together two touchdown drives to take the lead before AJ McCarron and the Tide rallied with their only sustained drive of the second half.

Going up UCLA moved up eight spots to No. 17 in the latest rankings after a 66-10 victory against Arizona.

The Bruins (7-2) have already exceeded expectations in coach Jim Moraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first season, and the best could be yet to come for a program that usually plays little brother to USC in the crosstown football rivalry.

UCLA (4-2) is in first place in the Pac-12 South, with a halfgame lead over the 21st-ranked Trojans (6-3, 4-3).

The Bruins play USC in the Rose Bowl on Nov. 17 in a game that could give UCLA a title with no strings attached.

ond loss of the season sent them tumbling four spots in the rankings to No. 9.

The Tigers finish with consecutive home games against No. 22 Mississippi State and Mississippi, before closing the regular season at Arkansas.

Mississippi State also has been heading in the wrong direction lately. The Bulldogs have lost two straight to Alabama and No. 15 Texas A&M after a 7-0 start, and done so in humbling fashion, by a combined score of 76-20.

After reaching as high as No. 13 in the rankings, Mississippi State is now No. 22.

In and out For all of the angst in Austin this season, No. 19 Texas has won three straight and is back in the rankings.

After barely beating Big 12 lightweights Baylor and Kansas, Texas won 31-22 at Texas Tech on Saturday to improve to 7-2 and 4-2 in the conference.

No. 23 Toledo and No. 24 Rutgers also moved into the Top 25.

Going down Falling out were Arizona, LSU probably deserves bet- West Virginia and Boise State, ter after nearly beating No. 1 which was upset at home by San Alabama, but the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sec- Diego State.

Guan Tianlang is an eighthgrader from China who barely weighs 125 pounds and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit the golf ball far enough to reach some par 4s. The next stop for the 14-year-old prodigy will be the Masters, where he will tee it up with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson at Augusta National.

Guan completed a wire-towire victory Sunday in the AsiaPacific Amateur Championship, making a 5-foot par putt on the final hole at Amata Spring Country Club for a one-shot win that earned him an invitation to the Masters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited about it,â&#x20AC;?

Guan said after closing with a 1-under 71. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be training maybe a little bit harder and got some more power for that because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still growing right now. So it will be great fun.â&#x20AC;?

He is believed to be the youngest male to play in a major championship. Andy Zhang of China, who trained at a golf academy in Florida, was 14 years, 6 months when he qualified for the U.S. Open last summer at The Olympic Club. Guan would be about a month younger.

Woods could have seen this coming.

Just two years ago, Woods was playing in the HSBC Champions pro-am at Sheshan International in Shanghai when Guan was in a group of juniors who played with him on the par-3 17th hole. Woods was amazed that day, not only at the polished swing of a 12-year-old, but the poise Guan showed at performing on such a stage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than a thousand people in the gallery, an audience that included Woods, a 14-time major champion.

Even with a spot in the Masters on the line, Guan didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t flinch.

Pan Cheng-tsung of Taiwan, the second-ranked amateur in Asia, made par on the 18th hole for a 65 that left him one shot behind. Guan hits the ball only about 250 yards off the tee, and even a 3-wood for his second shot left him short of the green.

Guan had made bogey twice on the 18th during the tournament.

He rolled in the final stroke with a belly putter.

Guanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice of putter is sure to draw more attention to the debate over the club, which is anchored to the body. The U.S. Golf Association and the Royal & Ancient Golf Club are close to announcing a decision on whether to ban such a putting stroke.

JIMMIE JOHNSON (48) PULLS AHEAD OF BRAD KESELOWSKI to take the lead on the final lap during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race, Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Johnson won the race.

Johnson holds off Keselowski at Texas Speedway FORT WORTH, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jimmie Johnson regained the lead on the final restart, beating Brad Keselowski in an ending two-lap shootout to win Sunday at Texas and add to his NASCAR Sprint Cup points lead with two races left.

Johnson led 168 laps, but found himself chasing toward the end. The third restart in the late laps proved to be the charm for No. 48 Chevrolet.

During that restart on the 333rd of 334 laps, Johnson and Keselowski were side-by-side. Johnson charged hard on the outside, and cleared him on the backstretch. He held on the final 1 1/2 laps and won from the pole for the second week in a row.

Johnson increased his lead by five points to seven over Keselowski, who had never finished better than 14th at Texas.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Kentucky fires coach Phillips LEXINGTON, KY. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kentucky has fired football coach Joker Phillips, a day after an embarrassing loss to Vanderbilt.

Athletic Director Mitch Barnhart announced Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dismissal Sunday in an open letter on the athletic departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site.

The Wildcats lost their eighth straight game on Saturday, a 40-0 home loss to Vanderbilt. It was their worst loss to the Commodores in 96 years.

The 49-year-old Phillips is 12-23 overall in three seasons at Kentucky. He will finish this season.

Barnhart says the school will begin a nationwide search for a new coach immediately.

The Wildcats (1-9, 0-7 Southeastern Conference) went to a bowl game two years ago but have gotten worse each season since. Kentucky is off this week, and then closes the season with games against Samford and Tennessee.

Chinese prodigy, 14, going to Masters

TWO-DAY

in World Golf Championship play, following the 2010 Accenture Match Play Championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only been one season without a victory and I certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go another one,â&#x20AC;? the 36-year-old said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As well as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played this year, it would have been a disappointment personally to have gone that year without winning.â&#x20AC;?

Phil Mickelson (68), Jason Dufner (64), Scott Piercy (65) and Ernie Els (67) tied for second. Lee Westwood and Louis Oosthuizen, tied for the third-round lead, shot 72 to drop into a tie for sixth at 18 under.

Lehman tops Schwab Cup SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tom Lehman won the Charles Schwab Cup Championship to become the first Champions Tour player to win the season points title two straight years.

After shooting 68-63-62 to take a one-stroke lead into the final round, Lehman birdied four of the last five holes for a 5-under 65 and a sixstroke victory.

Lehman finished at 22-under 258 on Desert Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s par-70 Cochise Course to break the Champions Tour record for the lowest numerical score in a 72-hole event. Jack Nicklaus set the previous record of 261 at par-72 Dearborn Country Club in Michigan in the 1990 Mazda Senior TPC. Lehman also tied the tournament record for relation to par set by John Cook in 2009 at the par-72 Sonoma Golf Club in California.

Lehman received a $1 million annuity in the Charles Schwab Cup points competition and earned $440,000 for the tournament victory.

Jay Haas shot a 69 to finish second.

Lewis rallies at Mizuno Classic SHIMA, JAPAN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stacy Lewis rallied to win the Mizuno Classic for her LPGA Tour-leading fourth title of the year, birdieing the final three holes for an 8-under 64 and a one-stroke victory.

The Texan, seven strokes behind South Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lee Bo-mee entering the round, had 10 birdies and two bogeys to finish at 11-under 205 at Kintetsu Kashikojima.

Trying to become the first American to win the player of the year award since Beth Daniel in 1994, Lewis moved 58 points ahead of South Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inbee Park in the player of the year standings with two events left. Each victory is worth 30 points.

K.C. loses, 2-0, but not out yet

KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S CECE HARPER, RIGHT, SWIPES THE BALL away from Katelyn Edwards during Kansas’ final exhibition game against Fort Hays State University on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks won, 88-43.

scored a layup immediately after subbing in, giving KU a 28-8 lead with 11:20 left in the first half.

Engelman (six points, seven rebounds, four assists) said the Jayhawks wanted to play with more balance and rhythm than they did in their first exhibition victory a week earlier, a 22-point win against Washburn.

“We needed to have energy in practice,” Engelman said, “so we hit that pretty hard in practice and when it came time for the game we’d been working on it and made the adjustment.”

Ten of KU’s 11 players scored in the rout, including freshman point guard Lamaria Cole, who didn’t enter until the second half. She missed a jumper on her first possession but later showed off her opencourt speed by racing from the back court to the paint and getting to the foul line for two of her nine points.

Henrickson liked Cole’s sound defense and ability to drive and get to the basket.

“There’s a lot of managing the game and executing half-court offense that will be good for her to see on film,” Henrickson said.

Nine Jayhawks had at least one assist against FHSU and Henrickson said the team’s 20-assist, 13-turnover outing showed its unselfishness, noting the Jayhawks swung the ball in the half court.

“That’s important when you’re on the floor to recognize you might have a scoring opportunity because of someone else’s unselfishness on the other side of the floor,” the coach said.

Kansas racked up 42 bench points, led by 12 from Boyd. The powerful sophomore wing made eight of her 10 free throws and pulled down

Harper contributed 10 points off the bench on 4-for-6 shooting from the floor.

Goodrich expects her team will continue to have productive bench play as Kansas tries to reach its full potential.

“An exhibition allows you to experience what you can do, and what you can’t do as a team,” Goodrich said.

Davis, whose minutes are being limited as she eases back into game condition coming off a torn left ACL last season, scored 11 points and grabbed six rebounds in 17 minutes.

Kansas opens its regular season next Sunday at 2 p.m., when it plays host to Idaho State.

HOUSTON (AP) — Adam Moffat and Will Bruin scored for Houston to give the Dynamo a 2-0 win over Sporting Kansas City in the first leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

But, both teams recognize that it is only halftime. The second leg is at Wednesday night in Kansas City.

“It’s not over,” Houston Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said.

“We know that. If we go to Kansas City thinking that 2-0 is going to carry us to the top and take care of itself, then we are approaching the game the wrong way, and I won’t let them do that.”

Kansas City head coach Peter Vermes said being down 2-0 was not disastrous for them.

“It would be better if it was 0-0 or 2-0 our way, right?” Vermes said. “I wouldn’t use that word (disastrous). There are many teams that have come back from this.”

Moffat put the Dynamo, which is the Eastern Conference’s fifth seed, ahead 1-0 in the 18th minute, one timing a shot on a bounce off a header from Bruin from 30 yards out just right of the center, inside the near post.

“Obviously, the result is fantastic,” Moffat said.

“To get the two goals, the clean sheet doesn’t matter as much. It’s good for confidence to get that victory. We are delighted, but we know we are halfway there.”

Bruin extended Houston’s lead to 2-0 in the 75th minute, getting a cross from Calen Carr in the middle of the box and onetiming it into upper right corner from 10 yards out.

Bruin scored twice in Houston’s 2-1 win over Chicago on Wednesday in the Eastern Conference play-in game as the Dynamo advanced to play Kansas City, the Eastern Conference’s top seed.

Houston defeated Kansas City 2-0 last year in the Eastern Conference finals in Kansas City to advance to the MLS Cup. C.J. Sapong missed a chance to tie it at 1 in the 34th minute, having a shot from the left box stopped on a diving save by Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall.

Aurelien Collin had a chance to put Kansas City on the board in the 79th minute, but Collin was ruled offsides before his shot from the middle of the box was saved by Hall.

“Them getting the first goal 20 minutes in changed the game a little bit,” Vermes said. “I thought they did a very good job in the first half of every time we got the ball, putting numbers around us and either winning the ball or they fouled us and broke the rhythm of the game very quickly. They got 11 guys behind the ball.

It slowed the game down for them. They did a good job on the counter, especially the second goal. It’s

halftime. We are getting ready for the second half now.”

Vermes refused to make excuses for Kansas City trailing.

“We don’t have any excuses,” Vermes said. “It is what it is. We just get on with the next game. As far as I am concerned, they played well and got the result at home, and now, we need to go do the same.”

Houston lost defender Jermaine Taylor with a left knee injury. Taylor appeared to initially injure his knee late in the first half when he was reaching out to make a play on the ball. Taylor stayed in to start the second half but went down again in the 54th minute. Houston subbed Andre Hainault in for Taylor in the 55th minute.

Despite being ahead 2-0, Kinnear said Kansas City is an explosive team with strong, powerful players.

“By no means, is this over,” Kinnear said. “I think in any playoffs, especially when it is home and away, the second one is going to be the deciding one. We definitely have our work but out for us. If we bring the same attitude and same determination that we showed today, I think we will be battling hard again.”

McFadden suffers another setback The Associated Press

Oakland running back Darren McFadden left the field shortly before halftime Sunday because of an ankle injury, the latest setback for the Raiders’ top rusher.

X-rays on McFadden were negative during a 42-32 loss to Tampa Bay. Oakland coach Dennis Allen didn’t say which ankle was hurt and didn’t provide additional information.

Earlier in the game, Raiders defensive tackle Desmond Bryant was taken to a hospital because of a fast heartbeat. No further details were announced about Bryant, in his fourth season out of Harvard.

Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews, Pittsburgh receiver Antonio Brown and Washington wide receiver Santana Moss were among other players who exited early.

Monday, November 5, 2012

Matthews hurt his hamstring injury after a failed sack and Packers receiver Jordy Nelson injured his ankle.

Brown, the Steelers’ top receiver, left in the first half of a 24-20 victory over the New York Giants with a banged-up left ankle. Moss sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter of the Redskins’ 21-13 loss to Carolina.

The Raiders dealt with several injuries.

McFadden ran for 17 yards on seven carries. He was stopped for no gain on his final try, and it was not certain how he was hurt.

Drafted fourth overall in 2008, McFadden has excelled when he’s been healthy. But he missed 19 games in his first four seasons with foot, toe, shoulder, knee and hamstring injuries.

Raiders backup running back Mike Goodson limped away after injuring his right ankle in the fourth quarter.

Bucs’ Martin gashes Raiders The Associated Press

Buccaneers 42, Raiders 32 OAKLAND, CALIF. — Rookie Doug Martin rushed for a franchiserecord 251 yards and four touchdowns and Ahmad Black intercepted a Carson Palmer pass after Oakland had cut an 18-point deficit to three late in the fourth quarter on Sunday.

Martin, who was born in Oakland, had a memorable homecoming for the Bucs (4-4) by scoring on runs of 1, 45, 67 and 70 yards in the second half as he gashed what had been an improved run defense for the Raiders (3-5).

Martin, the 31st pick in April out of Boise State, became the first back since at least 1940 to score on three TD runs of at least 45 yards in one game, according to STATS LLC. Tampa Bay 0 7 21 14—42 Oakland 3 7 0 22—32 First Quarter Oak-FG Janikowski 29, :45.

The Associated Press

Knicks 100, 76ers 84 NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony leaped into the second row trying to save a ball he’d batted away, the signature play in another sturdy defensive effort.

On the other end, extra passes led to more wideopen shots and the Knicks made it look as easy as they did two nights earlier against the defending NBA champions.

Add it up, and New York is perfect after two games for the first time in 13 years.

Anthony scored 27 points, JR Smith had 20 and the Knicks beat the Philadelphia on Sunday in the opener of home-andhome series.

“I think at the end of the day, we know what type of guys we have on this team, we know what’s at stake and we want to win,” Anthony said. “That’s the only thing that’s on our minds.”

Jason Kidd had 12 points and six assists, and Raymond Felton added 11 points for the Knicks (20), who followed their 19 3-pointers in a seasonopening victory over Miami by making 11 Sunday.

They have won their two games by a combined 36 points and are 2-0 for the first time since winning their first three games in the 1999-00 season.

“I think when you share the basketball it becomes contagious, and guys, they feed into it,” Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. “And the fact that we have so many guys that can make shots, you don’t know who’s going to get you on any given night.”

Jrue Holiday had 27 points and seven assists for the 76ers (1-1), who will try for a split Monday at home. Thaddeus Young scored 16 points before fouling out and Evan Turner had 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Both teams are missing high-priced big men because of knee problems.

But while center Andrew Bynum’s absence could have a big effect on the 76ers, the Knicks have so far shown that they can perhaps space the floor better using a smaller lineup without forward Amare Stoudemire.

With Anthony moving up to the power forward position, Felton playing alongside Kidd in a two point-guard backcourt, and Smith and Steve Novak coming off the bench, the Knicks have had a solid offensive flow in their two games.

They scored 104 points against Miami on Friday while finishing one 3-pointer shy of their franchise record, and hurt the 76ers from inside and out.

“They’re very tough to defend. They’re playing really good defense,” Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said. “It’s a very difficult team to play because

They’re playing very unselfish basketball.”

Nets revive pro sports in Brooklyn with nod to the past

By Neil Best Newsday

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Nets could have just showed up in Brooklyn and embraced its 21st century vibe, full of cool, young people for whom history is last month’s hot new artisan bread shop.

Well, OK, there is some of that going on here, too.

But let’s give the newcomers credit for not ignoring the longer narrative arc of New York’s most prideful borough.

Hence Saturday night’s half-century-in-the-making return of major pro sports was a celebration

fore the Nets opened their new era with a 107-100 win COMMENTARY over the Raptors at the Barclays Center. that looked both forward Branca is 86, but he was and rearward. full of energy as he was Brooklyn being Brookjoined in welcoming the lyn, all parties agreed Nets by fellow former Brooklyn was the best Dodger Joe Pignatano, place to be, then and now. who was born and still And that was even before lives in Brooklyn, and Gil the Nets did in their Hodges Jr., whose late fafirst game here what the ther made the final putout Dodgers did in their last at Ebbets Field. home game in 1957: won.

Hodges, who grew up “I think it’s a marriage in Brooklyn, said, “The made in heaven,” said way the fans embraced Ralph Branca, who 61 years the Dodgers, I have a ago threw the most famous strong feeling the same is pitch in the history of base- going to happen with the ball — it didn’t go well for Nets. This is a borough the Dodgers, alas — and that has been longing for Saturday was honored be- many decades to have

their own team, and finally they have it.”

Or, as Pignatano put it, “Brooklyn needs a professional team! I don’t care if it’s bowling!”

So it went on a night that served as a group hug for Brooklyn, not only because of its 55 years in the pro sports desert but more importantly because Sandy dealt its shore a severe blow, a fact of real life that hung over the evening.

The storm delayed the Nets’ coming-out party by two days after Thursday’s game against the Knicks was postponed.

It was just as well.

On one hand, the Knicks would have generated

more buzz than the Raptors did. But the Knicks’ absence ensured that nearly everyone in the building at least was supporting the home team.

The Nets pulled out all the stops, including part-owner Jay-Z and his wife, Beyonce, courtside, and a characteristically entertaining news conference featuring owner Mikhail Prokhorov, who among other things said a successful season would require a trip to the conference finals.

He also noted that the pressure is on for the Nets to win an NBA championship within three years, given his vow that if they

fail to win it all in his first five seasons as owner, he will punish himself by getting married.

Soon Prokhorov was in the hallway shaking hands with Branca, who then was helped out to the court, where Nets players exchanged their jerseys for the Brooklyn Dodgers jerseys worn by Branca, Pignatano and Hodges Jr. Finally, borough president Marty Markowitz took center stage and invoked a line made famous by another son of Brooklyn, Jackie Gleason.

“Brooklyn Nets basketball is here!” he yelled. “How sweet it is!”

So it was.

Dear Annie: My father was recently killed in an accident. Now it’s just my mother and me. I don’t know how my mom is going to cope with the loss, and I am not sure how I will, either. I won’t have my father around to see me graduate, get married or have kids.

Here’s the issue: I’m 20 and will be transferring soon to an out-of-state college. This was planned months ago. But I worry that once I leave, my mother will have a breakdown.

Am I making the right choice to go away? I’ve been dreaming of this college for years, but now I feel selfish. I know I can’t put my life on hold, but I want to be sure I’m doing things the right way.

I want to be on my own and learn to become independent, but I also realize I’ll be alone and will have to start all over, just like my mom. It’s going to be hard.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Mom has friends, Dad’s family and our church nearby to give her support. I won’t have any of that at my new school.

Maybe I just need to force myself to be strong because no one else will push me to do it. I know my mom would like me to stay, but she’d feel guilty if I did. I’m so lost.

Cameras go outside U.S. Less than a week before Veterans Day, “Inside the Afghanistan War” (7 p.m., National Geographic) takes a two-hour look at the conflict — now America’s most prolonged combat operation — and the men and women serving there.

The new half-hour series “Witness” (8 p.m., HBO) profiles photojournalists in hot spots around the globe. First up is “Juarez,” a look at the Mexican border town consumed in that nation’s war on drugs, a conflict that has claimed nearly 20,000 lives in recent years. Photographer Eros Hoagland travels from one murder scene to the next and presents interviews with local experts who all but blame the Mexican army for the endemic corruption and mass slaughter.

“Juarez” also salutes Hoagland’s father, a Newsweek photojournalist who was shot to death by members of El Salvador’s military during that country’s civil war in the 1980s.

The eight-part series “Dangerous Grounds” (9 p.m., Travel) premieres, following adventurer Todd Carmichael as he looks for rare and exotic new coffee varieties in Haiti, Bolivia, Madagascar and Borneo, among other places.

While Todd Carmichael embarks on his Indiana Jones-style search for java in and around Java, “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” (8 p.m., Travel) airs its final episode. Bourdain decides to wrap up the series in Brooklyn, N.Y., just over the bridge from his Manhattan home.

Perhaps that’s fitting. After all, few cities have done more to reinvent themselves as places of culinary adventurism. (Apparently Paris now has food trucks, which French eaters visit in search of a dining experience known as “Le Brooklyn.”) And few cities have as much ethnic diversity — and all of the eating opportunities that come with it. Before signing off, Bourdain joins up with his crazy Russian pal, Zamir, to sample the Russian food in Brighton Beach, an ethnic enclave not far from Coney Island.

Tonight’s other highlights

The voices of Placido Domingo and Andy Garcia star in the hourlong “Dora the Explorer” presentation of “Dora’s Royal Rescue” (6 p.m., Nickelodeon), based on a story by Miguel de Cervantes.

A murder case with artisanal overtones on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox).

A murder with ritualistic overtones on “Hawaii Five-0” (9 p.m., CBS).

Charlie finds a kindred spirit on “Revolution” (9 p.m., NBC).

Murder at a sci-fi convention on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC).

KANSAS ROWING

KU boat second at Head of the Hooch J-W Staff Reports

CHATTANOOGA, TENN. — Kansas University rowing finished the fall season Sunday at The Head of the Hooch, placing second and fifth in the Open Quad.

Senior Olivia Kinet, junior Alex Torquemada, sophomore Angie Flores and freshman Maggie Duncan were in the top KU boat.

Football CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

seniors Kale Pick, Daymond Patterson and D.J. Beshears — all have missed games because of injuries this season.

“The biggest negative for them is they all got banged up at different times of the year,” Weis said. “It kind of breaks a little bit of the normal flow.”

Indeed. After combining for 152 yards and 14 grabs in the season opener, that trio has struggled to match that production again, healthy or not.

While all three have underachieved — Pick (22 receptions, 341 yards) has been the most reliable and effective of the entire bunch — their graduation after the season will leave a glaring hole.

Remember back in fall camp when Crist said he liked KU’s receivers and thought they were as good as any he played with at Notre Dame? Even if it is the old chicken-or-theegg scenario, this year’s numbers don’t support that claim. Through nine games, KU’s receivers have totaled 920 yards on 75 receptions. And no touchdowns. What’s more, during most weeks this season, single receivers on other Big 12 teams have matched or outdone the yardage and reception totals put up by KU’s entire receiving corps. Heck, Baylor stud Terrance Williams, who lit up the Jayhawks for 137 yards and a touchdown on 11 receptions over the weekend, has outperformed KU’s receivers by himself, haul-

The spring season will kick off March 8-10, 2013, at the Oklahoma Invite.

During the spring season, KU will row in seven competitions, host the Big 12 Championships and finish with the Conference USA Championships, which will determine if KU qualifies for the NCAA Championships. ing in 987 yards and six touchdowns on 54 catches.

“There’s candidates,” said Weis, when asked if there was hope for the future of the position. “But no one’s kind of risen to the top. No one has really stepped up enough to jump over everyone else, saying ‘Hey, make me the guy.’”

The returning wideouts have potential. Andrew Turzilli is still just a sophomore and, although he has disappeared of late, this season has to be viewed as a step forward for him. Tre’ Parmalee has impressed enough to play as a true freshman. Juco transfer Josh Ford, though quiet all season, made his first start at Baylor. And Justin McCay, the transfer from Oklahoma who, like Heaps, was forced to sit out this season, responded to a bad spring with a better fall.

“It’s nice, (in practice) on Sundays, to see Justin out there because he’s not running show team, he’s running our stuff,” Weis said. “He has a chance of being a one or a two. He’s a guy who’s a legitimate contender as a front-line (receiver).”

Potential is nice. But production is better. And Weis knows, Heaps or no Heaps, this team needs to get better at wide receiver if it hopes to become competitive in the pass-happy Big 12 Conference sooner rather than later.

“In recruiting, I think we’re gonna have to handle it both with junior-college kids and high school kids,” he said. “Because I think that it’s gonna be important to make sure we have some guys that are ready to play right now.”

half against OU and OU made 11 threes.”

Self’s Jayhawks are coming off last Tuesday’s 88-54 exhibition opening victory over Emporia State.

“I’d like to see if we can defend motion. I’d like to see us gradually improve just a little bit off last week,” Self said.

Senior center Jeff Withey scored seven points with six rebounds in 18 minutes versus the undersized Hornets.

“I think that would be an understatement,” Self said, asked if Withey was “flat” in the opener.

“Jeff doesn’t play as well against small guys. He never has historically.

He always plays better against big guys. Washburn does have some bigs they can throw at us (at) 6-8, 6-9. I think he’ll play better tomorrow. I thought he looked a little slow in the first game.”

Joseph Smith, the tallest Ichabod at 6-foot-9, scored 12 points versus the Sooners. Bobby Chipman, son of the coach, is 6-8. He hit for eight boards and three points against OU. “Definitely I was a little rusty (but) that game is behind me,” Withey said.

“This week of practice has been tough. Coach has been on us. We definitely are going to come out with more energy and be ready to play moreso than last week.”

In the opener, Self started red-shirt forward Jamari Traylor over freshman Perry Ellis.

Both played well. Traylor scored six points and grabbed four rebounds in 16 minutes; Ellis scored 15 points with seven boards in 16 minutes.

Naadir Tharpe started over Johnson at the point in response to Johnson being late for a class.

Tharpe scored eight points with four assists against one turnover in 17 minutes; Johnson had 12 points off 4-of-11 shooting with five assists and one turnover in 23 minutes. Other starters were Withey, Ben McLemore and Travis Releford.

“I’m not sure. It may be the same, it may not be,” Self said of the opening lineup. “I’ll have to see.

Injury updates: Senior forward Kevin Young, who broke a bone in his right hand on Oct. 25, will likely begin shooting today, Self said.

“We were hoping he could shoot this weekend,” Self said Sunday.

“He wasn’t able to. Hopefully he can shoot tomorrow. We’re still believing he can be practicing by Saturday.”

Freshman walk-on guard Evan Manning, who has been wearing a boot on his right foot all preseason, practiced for the first time on Sunday. “I don’t know if he can play in the game, but he did practice,” Self said.

“I text him and called him and talked to his agent and family friends and everything,” Self said.

“I hate to say this, from what we hear it’s a very severe injury. He’s playing so well. He turned the corner to be a 10- or 15-year NBA veteran. He’s only got one year left on his contract right now. I will say this about Brandon ... he’s been there, done it.

He will be discouraged I’m sure for a bit. Somehow or another he’ll rally around it like the last time it happened.”

Rush, 27, battled back from a torn ACL in his right knee at the conclusion of the 2006-07 season. He helped KU claim a national title in ‘07-08.

Tamara M. Morris, Petitioner ________

he constantly needs to fight the urge to get ahead of himself, a typical trait of a freshman college basketball player.

“I’m in the process of learning right now, so it’s slowing me up from what I really want to show I can do,” Adams said.

And what can he do?

“I can do everything,” he said.

Really?

“Yeah, I really can,” Adams said.

Again, give him credit for not trying to show everything he so eagerly wants to show and instead doing only what his coach wants him to do.

In 10 minutes against a much slower Emporia State squad, Adams didn’t turn it over, picked up two assists and a steal and relentlessly applied defensive pressure without committing a foul. He played defense with his feet so well he didn’t get out of position and make wild reaches for the ball.

Adams has the potential to develop into a defensive stopper.

When Self looks down his bench and needs to give one of his perimeter players a rest, he has two distinctly different players from which to choose in Adams and sophomore Naadir Tharpe. Adams is taller, longer, thicker, already a better defender.

Tharpe has more polish and experience. Both players have three-point range.

Adams looked like a player with a higher ceiling than most who were ranked where he was ranked (98th in the Class of 2012 by Rivals). He had an explanation for that.

“I most definitely was going to be a person who was highly ranked but due to some stuff in my ongoing path, I had to take myself out of the AAU circuit and my ranking went down,” he said.

Where would he have been ranked had he played a busy AAU schedule?

“Top 25,” he said.

Maybe so, but his best path to playing time for now lies in playing more like a hungry guy ranked 98th. Tough though it is for him to exercise patience, he seems to get that.

Growing Food, Growing Health takes long view on school gardens

A

s a nutrition educator, Nancy O’Connor had worked with children for years. She invented many creative ways to talk about calories and nutrients, such as spooning 10 teaspoons of sugar into a pile to show them how much they were getting in one can of pop.

But she still wasn’t entirely getting through. What could she do, she wondered, to “crack the nut” of children’s disconnect with food? She found just the tool at a sustainable agriculture conference in Des Moines in 2010.

That year, she and the Community Mercantile Education Foundation, a sister organization to The Merc, 901 Iowa St., of which she is executive director, launched the first school garden at West Middle School, 2700 Harvard Road.

“Kids are bombarded with fast food on the landscape. They see it everywhere — it’s a very physical part of their reality,” she says. “Similarly, this garden is part of the landscape now. Since it’s on Crestline (Drive), it’s highly visible to kids, their parents and the community. Our success has been very visible.”

Thus began the school garden nonprofit program, “Growing Food, Growing Health,” which now has gardens at Hillcrest School, 1045 Hilltop Drive, and Sunset Hill School, 901 Schwarz Road, as well. Because the program is sponsored by The Merc, it promises to have lasting success, where a student–parent effort might falter when the students graduate.

Changing minds and habits requires patience and the long view, which is just what O’Connor says this unique business– school district partnership can provide.

Not only do students get to see the gardens in action, the program also provides five select students a job during the growing season, which is roughly April to November. Because it’s a real job — each student gardener makes $1,000 per season — the application process is rigorous.

To be considered, they have to volun-

Go GREEN KELLY BARTH teer at a spring work day. They each fill out an application and a self-evaluation of their skills related not only to gardening but also public speaking and their ability to work with others. They also need a teacher reference. Finally, they have to write an essay about why they want the job.

“After this careful screening, we’re left with a small group of smart, self-aware leaders,” says O’Connor. “They care about healthy eating and the environment. Ultimately, many of them have comfortably spoken at state agricultural conferences.”

Everything students learn, they learn by doing with the help of garden coordinator Lily Siebert, who doesn’t assume anything.

“We make sure we tell them, ‘Hey, you have to wash that lettuce’ before they bag it up,” Siebert says.

The student’s hours vary. In the summer they work early morning shifts, and after school in the fall. It depends on what their life looks like.

At the Sunset Hill site, Siebert also teaches a group of sixth-graders who have chosen gardening as an elective. In addition to Siebert and O’Connor, the pro-

gram has hired local organic grower Dan Phelps to formalize the garden education program at Sunset Hill.

In just three growing seasons, the program has already produced a bountiful harvest. Of the approximately 5,600 pounds of food grown, 1,300 pounds have been prepared and served for lunch

by West cafeteria staff, who, along with the principal, Myron Melton, have been very supportive of the project.

The student gardeners also run a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project at the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department for staff of the clinic, Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and Visiting Nurses Association as part of a Workplace Wellness initiative.

All of the proceeds are funneled back into the program, and leftovers are donated to Health Care Access.

“There’s been a really positive response,” says O’Connor. “When it was 105 degrees outside this summer, people could just walk into the lobby and purchase good healthy food rather than have to drive the farmers’ market or grocery store. Each week, someone would say something like, ‘I’ve never prepared beets, turnips, kohlrabi, kale,’ and we were there to educate. Not only do we have a generation of students who will never attend a school without a garden, we have adults introduced to healthy local produce. You can create policy to get people to eat, but unless you’re on the ground with them, talking to them, showing them real food, change won’t happen.”

The program can always use interested volunteers. “Growing Food, Growing Growers” is hosting a work day from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at West Middle School. To volunteer, email lily@themerc. com.

Not the average 9-to-5

Tobacconist aspires to ‘effortless excellence’

BY ADAM STRUNK

B

ryan Newbury lives and breathes cigars. It’s his job.

Newbury works as a tobacconist at Centro Cigars, 4811 Bob Billings Parkway. He buys cigars, sells cigars and manages the store’s smoking lounge.

“I have a little rule that I can’t work anywhere where I can’t smoke, and that kind of limits you in 2012,” he said.

Newbury’s job has two sides: business and social.

On the business side, Newbury has to be a cigar expert and know the perfect stogie for any occasion. Much of his job involves researching and surfing cigar blogs to keep the store’s $30,000 to $40,000 cigar inventory up to date with current trends. Newbury added that he can’t properly recommend a cigar if he hasn’t smoked it.

“The main part of my job is smoking everything we have and describing it,” he said laughing. “Research.”

To keep the place stocked — the store sells 200 to 300 “sticks” on a good day — Newbury deals with numerous cigar manufacturers, many family-operated and located in south Florida. It’s better that way, he explained, because a family takes pride in their product. However, this way of business requires tact.

“Some of these guys are just eccentric,” he said. “You have guys that would have been rock stars had it worked out.”

When not dealing with eccentric sellers, Newbury has to deal with the difficulties of the cigars themselves. He must manage the store’s humidifiers to keep the stock at a perfect humidity. If the air’s too dry, the cigars make for a harsh, fast smoke or come apart.

“You have to baby them,” he said. “They are like eggs. Perhaps worse.”

If he does the business side of his job right, Newbury has happy customers.

This leads to the part of the job Newbury really likes: being social.

He spends much of the day as a host, or a billiards and dominoes partner to store customers.

“The fact that I do any work at all is

REGARDING THE SOCIAL ASPECT of managing a cigar shop, tobacconist Bryan Newbury compares it to hosting an ongoing party. Newbury is pictured Wednesday at Centro Cigars, 4811 Bob Billings Parkway.

probably the biggest surprise to most,” he said. “I ascribe to the English Olympic standard of effortless excellence.

The idea is that I’m continually party-

ing or in a free and easy mood.”

Newbury may be easygoing and quick with a joke, but he takes cigars seriously.

He explained how cigars are art and those

who craft them, masters. And as with most artisanal products, he said cigars have a pretty niche customer base.

“I don’t know the percentage of the population that are cigar smokers, but it’s a very small percentage, and you have to keep them happy,” Newbury said. “I try to keep my eyes open for the profile of each specific customer.”

It’s easy to see why customers keep coming back. The lounge boasts leather chairs, a billiards table, fine wooden cabinets and space for the customers to smoke while working or relaxing. It seems like a place English nobles would come after hunting foxes.

Looking the part in this environment is Newbury, sporting prominent mutton chops, a tweed smoking jacket and, of course, a cigar. He jokes with smokers as he tours the lounge. He stops the interview to recommend a cigar to a customer who can’t make up his mind.

After a while, it becomes clear the people inhabiting Newbury’s smoke-filled world are more than just customers. Newbury described the atmosphere, in what he called hyperbolic terms, as “The Brotherhood of the Leaf.”

“Everybody has a common passion or hobby or interest,” he said. “That makes for good fellowship. Everyone is coming with at least one common agenda no matter what their political, religious or personal differences may be outside of here.”

Newbury’s journey to this brotherhood began after a brief stint as a “failed poet.”

“That’s why retail is a great vocation,” he said. “It’s what you do when you decided at the age of 20 that poetry was a viable way of making any money at all.”

He moved up from selling cigarettes to selling pipe tobacco at an “informal apprenticeship” in Kansas City, Mo., to his current job. Newbury said he enjoys his job in what has become an increasingly competitive field.

And with a job where he gets to practice his passion as well as smoke, Newbury doesn’t plan on leaving any time soon: “They’ll have to drag me out of here kicking and screaming.”

Not your everyday pie Persimmons yield a break from the ordinary — if you can find them

BY RICHARD GWIN

E

veryone knows I like to cook. This pie came about as sort of a dare.

It started because of a Garden Calendar story in the Journal-World on persimmons and how some old folk tales told of the seeds being able to predict the weather for the winter.

I was off to document a persimmon tree.

There are not very many persimmon trees around; I’ve seen one for years in front of Strong Hall on Kansas University’s campus, two or three small ones near KJHK’s former studio, and a few around town and on old farm sites, where it was probably a fall tradition to make something from the small, fruity delights.

After taking the photos, I brought a few persimmons back to the News Center. Go! editor Katie Bean challenged me to make a persimmon pie — and share it at work, of course. She found a recipe for me to start from, but I modified it in the course of baking.

I took off one Sunday morning to get a box of fruit. The tree I knew of was loaded with fruit, but the right ones are sometimes hard to distinguish. Ones on the ground give one a hint on what to look for — they have a translucent look; on the tree, they might seem hard and are bitter when tasted.

I picked one from the ground and gave a squeeze, and out came this thick, pulp-like substance. Picking up some from the ground and using a ladder, I picked a small box of fruit, thinking I had enough.

Once home, I started to find a way to get to the sweet pulp. The big problem is getting the plum/strawberry-like pulp out and away from the seeds.

First I just squeezed the fruit, and boy what a mess — and it was time-consuming. Next I figured out I could invert the fruit where the top became the bottom

PERSIMMON PIE, MADE WITH LOCAL PERSIMMONS, which are now in season, looks like a pumpkin pie, but the sweet fruit’s flavor shines through in this recipe, kitchen-tested by Journal-World photographer Richard Gwin.

INGREDIENTS

1 9-inch pie shell

3 eggs

1/4 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon cinnamon

9 ounces coconut milk

1.5 cups persimmon pulp

1 teaspoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon salt

and pinched the fruit, and the pulp came out from where the stem was.

After you have a good amount of pulp,

take a strainer and push the mixture through, and you have a jelly-like material. (I now think you could do this from the start and save the squeezing.) This worked well but again was time-consuming. It was work, but good things take time, especially in cooking.

It was nearly three hours of work to get what I thought was a little over 2.5 cups of pulp. The pie recipe this is based on required 1 cup, but I wanted to add some more.

I took a store-bought pie crust and browned it lightly in a 450 degree oven to start. For the filling, combine 3 eggs, 1/4 cup each light brown sugar and white sugar, 1 teaspoon real Mexican vanilla and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.

The original recipe called for evaporated milk; I took a spin-off and used coconut milk. The recipe called for a can, but use 1/3 less so you can add more fruit, making the pie sweeter and thick with fruit. After

adding about 9 ounces of coconut milk, add in 1.5 cups of persimmon fruit, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons melted butter and a dash of salt. Pop it in the oven for 30-40 minutes.

Now, if you’re any kind of cook, you’ll see this resembles a custard pie, so I’d put a piece of aluminum foil over it while it cooks to keep it from burning.

After 40 minutes, if it’s not done, reduce the temperature to 350 degrees, and after more 20 minutes, out it comes. You can shake the pie, and if it wiggles somewhat, it’s not done — it should be firm.

When it comes out, sprinkle it with a small amount of cinnamon, and you’ve got a pie. It’s sort of pumpkin-like but has a sweeter taste and goes down quickly.

With a dollop of vanilla ice cream and cup of coffee, you’re in heaven.

Bush library to feature park re-creating prairie

BY JAMIE STENGLE, ASSOCIATED PRESS

D

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 15-acre park at the upcoming George W. Bush Presidential Center will reproduce a Texas prairie, complete with a wildflower meadow, a new blend of native grasses and even trees transplanted from the former presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited about it. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so pretty, so beautiful,â&#x20AC;? said former first lady Laura Bush, who said she envisions people strolling along the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paths and picnicking there once the center opens at the end of April.

The parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscaping, which was just completed this month, creates the kind of prairie landscape that would have existed in the area before the city was here, said Mark Langdale, president of the George W. Bush Foundation.

The wildflower meadow should include Indian paintbrush, evening primrose, and, of course, Texasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beloved state flower, the bluebonnet, when it blooms next year.

FORMER FIRST LADY LAURA BUSH SMILES during a tour Oct. 29 of the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas. A 15-acre park at the upcoming George W. Bush Presidential Center will reproduce a Texas prairie, complete with a wildflower meadow, a special blend of native grasses and even trees transplanted from the former presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranch.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This spring Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling pretty good weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some bluebonnets,â&#x20AC;? said the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape project manager Herb Sweeney IV, a senior associate with the landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates Inc. The presidential center on the campus of Southern Methodist University will feature a library including archives and a museum.

The approximately 227,000-square-foot, three-story center will also house Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy institute.

The museum will feature a Texas interpretation of the White House Rose Garden, which Laura Bush said museum-goers will come to about halfway through their visit.

She said the garden, lined with trees and roses and featuring benches and a replica of the West Wing Colonnade, will be a peaceful spot for reflection after going through exhibits covering the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able at that point to step out, and they say if you can get out in the sunshine and outside, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel refreshed and

then you can go back and do the second half of the museum,â&#x20AC;? Bush said.

From the rose garden, visitors will be able to see a view of downtown Dallas and also look out over the park, which will spread out to the south behind the building.

Bush said prairie restoration is important to her and her husband. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked over the years to restore the native prairie at their ranch in Crawford, about two hours south of Dallas. She also said it was important to use native plants and trees at the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what will do the best. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look the best. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the most attractive because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suitable for this kind of weather, this climate that we have in Dallas,â&#x20AC;? Bush said.

Among the grasses being used is a new, hardy grass made up of several native grasses and developed by the University of Texas at Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, which has been a consultant on the landscaping. Sweeney said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the first large-scale planting of the grass, called Habiturf.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dangerous world for teens

Double TAKE

Dr. Wes: Homicide is the second leading cause of teen deaths in America, accounting for 13 percent of lost lives from age 12 to 19.

Though accidents, most of them in automobiles, kill three times as many teens, 13 percent is still a sobering number to consider.

For black teens, the rate is even higher.

The faces of those statistics have, for now, become Autumn Pasquale, 12, and Jessica Ridgeway, 10, who were not only child victims of murder, but were killed by teens. Their stories are still unfolding but already point in very different directions.

Jessicaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confessed murderer was a stranger and likely mentally ill. This is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;stranger dangerâ&#x20AC;? scenario we imagine to pose the most serious risk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an unknown, disturbed person threatening our children while walking to school or playing the park.

Statistically, however, this is so rare as to make national news for that reason alone. Strangers are not the primary threat to our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wellbeing. The sex abuse scandals in Penn State, the Catholic Church and The Boy Scouts of America should prove that conclusively. Yet we gravitate toward The Stranger Myth, hoping we can shield our kids from his peril.

If current information is correct, the tragic and bizarre circumstances surrounding Autumn Pasqualeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death illustrate a more common threat. Two teens from her neighborhood are charged with her murder â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kids she knew and apparently did not fear. Her peer group.

We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet know what really happened in either case, and history shows that when experts pontificate about such things, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually wrong. I will, however, take bets on this: When all is said and done, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a system of mental health and social services that failed all of these kids and their families. How do I know? Because such acts of violence are not normal and could not have materialized out of thin air.

DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT Certainly, we can each cite acts of cruelty among our own teens, but far more often we see greatness, positive achievement and pro-social conduct. These murders are aberrations, and we need to understand as best we can what went wrong.

An example of real moral strength actually appears in Autumnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case and underscores my point about the normalcy of goodness. The police were led to the suspects after the mother of one reported a suspicious Facebook posting. How devastating that must have been for her, and how reassuring it is to the rest of us.

Understanding what happened here doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the offenders off the hook â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it just gives us a chance to intervene in the future.

Katie: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to take a moment to honor the memory of Autumn and Jessica, as well as the other families impacted by a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murder. There is no loss more universal and tragic than that of a young personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and potential. Though our nation is currently divided by bitter politics,

values and religions, humanity can grieve as one body for young people whose lives have been stolen like this.

Wes is right. These recent murderers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match our stereotype of tall, glowering killers with bloodshot eyes. The boys accused are 17 and 15 years old. Just kids, like the teenage girl in Missouri who murdered a 9-year-old neighbor because she â&#x20AC;&#x153;wanted to know what it felt like,â&#x20AC;? and the 15-year-old boy in Texas who shot and killed his mother and sister, commenting afterward that it â&#x20AC;&#x153;just kind of happened.â&#x20AC;?

None of these crimes have rational explanations or satisfactory answers. Each came completely unexpectedly.

When I was in elementary school, safety lessons came in the form of five-minute videos featuring hulking, leery-eyed strangers and suspenseful music. We easily memorized the phrase, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to strangers.â&#x20AC;?

But who is a stranger? Is another child a stranger? His or her parent? How many times do you have to meet someone before they stop being a stranger? Why is it OK to accept candy from strangers on Halloween but not any other day of the year?

Stranger-danger rhetoric is black-andwhite on a planet colored in gray. We live in an unpredictable world, where many crimes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense, a few neighbors arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t friendly and most strangers are.

While children and teens are safer today in America than at any other time in history, we need to build on our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural fight-or-flight response. If something doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel right, it probably isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right. We must teach our kids to listen to their natural discomfort, and to assess real risks sensibly, without making them unnecessarily paranoid. No easier said than done, but important just the same. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Send your confidential 200-word question on adolescence and parenting to ask@dr-wes.com.

LEARNING TOGETHER

Parent-child classes provide benefits to both

BY SARA SHEPHERD

F

or stay-at-home dad Matt Helbing, the main goal of weekly parent-tot music classes is instilling his own love of music in his two young sons. But he admits that 3-year-old Henry and 1-yearold Theodore aren’t the only ones reaping benefits.

“Part of it is parental sanity,” Helbing laughs. “It’s a good break from the monotony of being alone.”

Lawrence parent-tot instructors say the gatherings, which range from art classes to gymnastics, have advantages for both parents and children.

Classes provide an opportunity to foster development in children who are too young to be dropped off at such classes alone, parents learn skills they can model at home, and parents and children bond by having fun together.

Not to mention that they can be a great place for parents to meet other parents.

DARCEY ERICKSON AND HER SON, JACKSON, 2, play music together in parent-tot class at First Baptist Church, 1300 Kasold Drive.

STARTING EARLY Karen Abraham, who owns Meadowlark Music Together, said nu-

merous parents, like Helbing, have been coming to her classes for years, bringing their second child just weeks after he or she was born.

Abraham’s goal is to engage in activities that help children from birth to age 5 (she offers a separate class for 5- to 7-year-olds) learn music by making it feel like play instead of work.

“Music is a lot like language,” Abraham said. “Because the earlier you get it, the easier it is.”

At a recent session, Abraham led a circle of sock-footed parents and children in sing-alongs with instruments from drums to maracas and movement from hand-waving to marching with the beat.

Some toddlers wandered in and out of the circle, others played instruments to their own beats.

And that’s OK, Abraham said.

They’re learning and experimenting, and the play-like atmosphere is ageappropriate — though she draws the line at standing on benches or throwing instruments.

At Lawrence Gymnastics and Athletics, 5150 Clinton Parkway, the Bouncy Bees parent-tot gymnastics class is open to children from 1 to 3 years old.

as well as having a teacher there to assist them,” Grogan said.

For some parents, Grogan added, taking classes with their child is a helpful reminder that fitness and flexibility is important for them, too.

MULTIPLE OPTIONS

RUMBLING THROUGH SOME SPONGE BLOCKS, Alexandra Kaufman, 19 months, plays at Lawrence Gymnastics, 5150 Clinton Parkway, which allows parents and children to take a class together.

Preschool gymnastics director Jalon Grogan said she took a similar class with her own children and that one is now a state-caliber high school gymnast. The other two employ the coordination and love of physical activity they grew up with in other athletic pursuits.

“It helps to be instilling a deepseated idea that fitness is fun, being in a gym is fun,” Grogan said.

Even at a young age, children can benefit from exercises to develop core strength, balance and body awareness, Grogan said. At Bouncy Bees, they walk on the balance beam while parents hold or spot them, roll back and forth in a ball to work on core strength and jump on a trampoline to practice muscle control.

Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department offers parent-child swimming classes for children from 6 months to 3 years old. While the classes don’t make infants independent swimmers, they aim to get children comfortable with submerging and moving around in the water.

The American Academy of Pediatrics formerly recommended swimming lessons for ages 4 and up, but in 2010 the group recommended that children as young as 1 year old take swimming lessons.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT More than teaching music to children, Abraham said she aims to teach parents how to make music with their children. Having parents involved in the class — and taking what they learn home — is far better than simply turning on a CD or turning their child over to a music teacher.

“Children’s first and foremost teachers are their parents,” Abraham said.

Likewise at Bouncy Bees, instructors focus on parents being “exercise partners” for their children, from warm-ups and floor stretches through guided activities and open play time in the gym.

“It’s a real bonding activity, where the parents can work with their child

IT’S * EASY!

Brian Trigg, McLouth, said he and his wife take their 2-year-old daughter, Cleo, to a number of parentchild activities, including Meadowlark Music Together and Lawrence Arts Center’s Coloring Outside the Lines class for 2- to 3-year-olds.

While his wife is at work, Trigg, a Lawrence firefighter, is often available to take Cleo to daytime classes, such as a recent one at Meadowlark Music Together.

“It helps fill the morning, but also it’s helped her socialize and experiment with music and musical instruments,” Trigg said.

At the same class, Lawrence stayat-home mom Lydia Leon sang and marched with her daughters Alia, 3, and Maya, 5 months.

Leon said she’s also participated in the arts center class and Baby Sing and Sign for infants and toddlers. Lawrence mom Erin Lawrence teaches Sing and Sign, which she says provides parents with a foundation for early language development.

Leon was looking for activities that were fun for her girls but also had structure that enabled them to learn. The Meadowlark Music Together and other parent-tot classes hit the mark.

“It’s just really interactive,” she said.

Understanding â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the second brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mind

MATTERS

JENA AND ED BLOCH

A stomach upset or a bout of depression may be more accurately viewed as a sign of imbalance in the interaction between and within all systems. When we view our struggles as involving more than one system, it gives greater veracity to the notion that interventions must be holistic and address our whole being and our whole experience.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in your head.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The dreaded response from your physician when after many tests no underlying cause can be found for a physical complaint.

Most of us have had that experience of butterflies in the stomach. Sometimes those butterflies feel more like an internal tornado, leading to greater discomfort like pain and nausea. Bill Russell, the famous center for the Boston Celtics, regularly threw up before games in a reaction to â&#x20AC;&#x153;nervesâ&#x20AC;? related to his intense competitiveness and desire to win.

Many of us suffer from stomach problems like GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), colitis, irritated bowel syndrome and the like.

The underpinnings to the discomforts described above lie in the relationship between two nervous systems: one located in the brain (the central nervous system) and one located in the gut (the enteric nervous system). The two systems share many of the same characteristics, mainly the utilization of neurotransmitters that basically assist in the flow of neural activity.

The awareness that neural activity is occurring in both systems led in part to Dr. Michael D. Gershon labeling the enteric nervous system â&#x20AC;&#x153;the second brain.â&#x20AC;? His book â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Second Brainâ&#x20AC;? is an excellent read for the layperson and professional alike and can give tremendous insights into your own discomforts.

It is estimated that 85 percent to 95 percent of serotonin (an important neurotransmitter related to mood) produced by the body is actually housed in the gut.

It is why many individuals who take selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs like Prozac) for depression may experience stomach discomfort.

These recent research findings regarding the utilization of serotonin in the gut have provided an alternative view to the notion mental problems are underpinnings to stomach problems.

The notion â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is all in your headâ&#x20AC;? is just not accurate.

The stomach and the brain communicate with each other; however, 90 percent of the communication flows from stomach to head. That suggests that the gut has perhaps more influence on your experience than the head.

Where the head has its way is as the storyteller. The brain in the head houses the mind, which has the ability of conscious thought. It drives creative and spiritual processing and interprets our experience. It can be said that the brain in the head interprets a lot of the second brainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activity and creates words to describe it.

Understanding our experience can get even more complex when we throw in a discussion of the autonomic nervous system that involves our fight-or-flight response.

The importance of a greater understanding into how the different systems in our body interact cannot be overstated. It likely will lead to enhanced interventions utilizing new technology, new pharmaceuticals and perhaps new psychotherapy/ counseling techniques.

Until these new developments occur on the basis of more research, it is important

to recognize that there is no simple explanation for many of our physical, mental and emotional struggles. Moreover, it is important to view our struggles with a broader brush, perhaps seeing our struggles as related to our entire human experience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just the mental or just the physical.

A stomach upset or a bout of depression may be more accurately viewed as a sign of imbalance in the interaction between and within all systems. When we view our struggles as involving more than one system, it gives greater veracity to the notion that interventions must be holistic and address our whole being and our whole experience.

Dealing with depression with an antidepressant only or talk therapy only, or GERD with an acid-reducing medication only, though they may be helpful for some symptom relief, are not curative and may actually lead to other problems.

Taking a holistic approach may help in creating balance within and between the different systems.

Adding or increasing physical activity; eating healthier; eliminating toxins; introducing meditation and mindfulness practice; developing or enhancing your spiritual life; nurturing relationships; putting greater emphasis on creativity and increasing knowledge; and learning and utilizing stress reduction techniques are all ways that can help your whole being move towards balance and harmony. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jena and Ed Bloch can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Visit a dog show to check out all sorts of breeds

BY LISA MOORE, THE MODESTO BEE

S

o youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to bring a new dog into your life and are considering numerous breeds.

Doing your research and carefully selecting a breed of dog that suits your lifestyle and meets your expectations in temperament, coat upkeep, energy level, etc., will greatly increase the likelihood of a long and satisfying relationship.

Before choosing a specific breed, spending time with a few individuals might give you a better idea of the general characteristics of the breed you are interested in. There are few better ways to gain this experience than by attending a few dog shows. On any given weekend, you can usually drive a couple of hours to reach a dog show.

Some shows include All Breed competitions, where most of the AKC registered breeds will be represented. There may also be Obedience and Rally competitions, as well as numerous venders offering everything from dog toys, treats and diet supple-

If you love dogs and are looking for an educational experience, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss these shows.

When you arrive at a dog show, you will want to purchase a catalog. This will tell you when a particular breed of dog is showing, and at what ring. Also listed in the catalog is the contact information for

every person with a dog entered, so if you are looking to connect with people who have the breed of dog you are interested in, a catalog is a wise purchase.

Bear in mind that although these shows are all about dogs, your personal dog is not allowed to attend. Only dogs that are entered in competition are allowed to be on the show grounds.

You may be surprised to find that although there will likely be more than 1,000 dogs present, it will be relatively quiet, with dogs well-controlled. Most of the dogs present will have been wellsocialized and are accustomed to the dog show surroundings and routine.

But just because you are surrounded by calm, controlled dogs doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you should get directly into their space to interact with them. If you have children, keep them with you, and ask for permission to pet or interact with any dog you fancy.

While ringside, scoping out your breed of choice, be mindful that when people are showing their dogs, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to talk with you. Your best approach is to watch quietly, and after the competition is over for that particular breed, then find some people to chat with. People are more than happy to talk about their particular breed of dog before or after their time in the ring is done.

Dog shows are a great place to be if you are interested in all things canine, and may give you a rare glimpse of some uncommon breeds that you might not otherwise encounter.

Style FOR THE AGES

}

A trip to the tailor, for many men, has fallen to the wayside. I think too many see taking something to the tailor as a hassle or simply unnecessary.

VAUGHN SCRIBNER

Take a hint from history to get the most out of clothes

W

hile doing some archival research recently, I came across Zachariah Brigdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diary from the late 18th century.

A Boston silversmith, Brigden kept detailed accounts of all of his personal expenses like food, alcohol, furniture and clothing. As I examined Brigdenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s receipts for clothing, I noticed that he paid to repair almost just as many clothes as he purchased.

This got me thinking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this anymore. Today, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to throw away a sweater with a hole in it rather than mend it, or toss a pair of shoes that have a worn sole.

With the dragging economy and another winter on its way, perhaps you can save some money this season by repairing and upgrading clothes you already own rather than rushing out to spend more money on clothes you probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live in 18th century Boston, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take some fashion advice from our forefathers.

A trip to the tailor, for many men, has fallen to the wayside. I think too many see taking something to the tailor as a hassle or simply unnecessary. We buy a shirt or sweater that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit right, let it sit in our closet for a few months without ever wearing it, and then donate it and buy another one.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be like this. For around $15, you can have a local Lawrence tailor take the body of that bal-

TROY BAPTISTE IS FITTED for a suit by tailors Mohan Ramchandani, right, and Bobby Kumar, left, at Mohanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Custom Tailors, Jan. 31 in New York. Having a tailor mend or fit clothes can save money over buying new ones. looning sweater in or shorten the sleeves of your droopy dress shirt.

But the magic doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop there. Many tailors also have serger machines that can patch up tattered jeans and are skilled artisans who can mend small holes in tops or bottoms. In short, a tailor should still be a go-to for anyone

wanting to make the most of their clothes.

Like our friend Zachariah Brigden, you should also make the most of your local shoe repair shop. Just because the soles are wearing out on your favorite lace-ups doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean their life has come to an end.

Most shoes can be quite easily resoled for a fraction of the cost of a new pair. Cobblers can also restitch and/or reglue problem areas, or even slap a leather patch over a blown-out side.

Not only will repairing your good old pair of broken-in shoes save you money but it will also help you avoid the hassle of finding another good buy.

But your smart resourcing doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to stop with tailors and cobblers. Often, you can make small repairs to your clothes yourself. A needle and some thread work just as well now as they did in the 18th century. Repairing your clothes yourself can give you a sense of pride in what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing, a feeling of possession and thrift.

Even more, a patch here or there can give your clothes that personalized, worn-in look that you simply canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t purchase. If you find yourself wary to take on this task, there are hundreds of websites devoted to repairing your own garments on the Internet.

So, as the days get colder, take a hint from history and consider going to your tailor or cobbler before you go to the Gap. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vaughn Scribner can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Sometime before that last sentence, my child left the room. This did not keep me from talking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So while these two parties may have led their most passionate followers in opposite directions, we are all still sitting on the same pole. Luckily the pole stays pretty balanced with people spread across it like we are, and voters donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to choose, as political ads might lead us to believe, strictly between lowering the debt and protecting the environment or between civil rights and job creation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When everyone votes, no matter which candidates win their elections, we have a new mix of 535 people to weave the different priorities of Americans together into our original goal â&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defeating the Brits?â&#x20AC;? One of our kids, who had just entered the room, was deep in the trenches of history homework. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pursuit of happiness,â&#x20AC;? I corrected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And when we recognize its foundation begins with the way we treat each other, not which party gets the most votes, then America wins.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just like when KU beat Missouri?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even better.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Julie Dunlap can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

JULIE DUNLAP

om, who do you want to win the election?â&#x20AC;? my favorite child asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want the American people to win,â&#x20AC;? I replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But are we cheering for the Democrats or the Republicans?â&#x20AC;? my offspring pressed.

While neither of my parents has ever voted strictly along party lines (or so they say), my dad treats his Rush Limbaugh book collection like a family heirloom, and my mom has an autographed copy of Jimmy Carterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biography. Not surprisingly, they raised four independents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sports teams,â&#x20AC;? I tried to clarify.

She (or he, I really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep track anymore) looked puzzled by my analogy, so I elaborated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like Kansas versus Missouri, where people make derogatory signs to carry at pep rallies or post sarcastic, belittling comments on Facebook, or make assumptions based on stereotypes involving missing teeth or unbearable egos, and then point out how tacky and classless their rival is.â&#x20AC;?

As the words left my mouth, I understood the confusion. I tried to better differentiate the two contests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see, in a basketball game, each team only represents its followers. When Kansas wins, Coach Self has no obligation to Missouri. Jayhawks celebrate, Tigers complain about the officiating and within a few weeks the game is firmly rooted in past tense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when a presidential candidate wins, he (or she â&#x20AC;Ś Betty White 2016!) makes a promise to serve the entire country every day for four whole years. Even people who did not vote for him â&#x20AC;Ś or her.â&#x20AC;?

INSTALL A FOAM THRESHOLD SEALER

hen addressing air leakage around an exterior door, the underside of the threshold is often overlooked.

As homes shift with weather and age, gaps form beneath the door threshold.

Hidden underfoot, these gaps are difficult to see.

Eventually, moisture seeps in, and the issue becomes more evident. By then, damage to the underside of the door jamb may be extensive, while the years of accompanying air leakage can be costly.

Installing a foam threshold sealer beneath the door threshold will prevent damage and create a weather-tight seal, helping to keep weather and water at bay.

Tite Seal makes a durable self adhesive foam threshold sealer that is perfect for the job. The sealer boasts an almost irremovable adhesive, is about a 1/4-inch thick and comes on a roll approximately 5 inches wide and 42 inches long.

Step 1: Remove the existing door threshold. Thresholds are typically held in place by a series of screws. These screws are often located beneath the rubber seal that runs along the center of the threshold.

Step 2: Clean the area beneath the threshold. Remove any debris, and fill gaps with a waterproof putty. Bondo lightweight body filler works great for most applications. Rockite Expansion Cement

works well on concrete, and Durham’s Rock Hard Water Putty or Abatron WoodEpox are good choices to replace rotted sections of wood.

Step 3: Once the area beneath the threshold is clean, dry and smooth, measure the length of the doorjamb and add 1 inch to the overall measurement.

Step 4: Unroll the foam sealer and cut it to size, lengthwise.

Step 5: Center the sealer along the door jamb and allow the ends of the sealer to extend a half inch up either side of the doorjamb.

Step 6: With the door sealer in position, carefully peel away the release paper, a few inches at a time, pressing the seal into place as you go. Work slowly down the length of the door jamb until the seal is adhered permanently and the release paper has been completely removed.

Step 7: For larger gaps, a second layer of foam seal may be added atop the first layer. Remove the release paper before adhering the foam seal to itself.

Step 8: Reinstall the door threshold, pressing firmly to properly adhere it to the new foam gasket. Screw the threshold into place, and enjoy a more draft-free entryway.

Ceiling fans can help heat homes, too

eeling the breeze from a ceiling fan just may be a step you can take toward greater energy efficiency this fall.

You can save as much as 40 percent on the cost of cooling your home because a fan creates airflow that cools the people in the room, reducing the need for air conditioning, said Leslie Killingsworth, director of purchasing for Progressive Lighting/Lee Lighting stores.

In the winter, she said, ceiling fans recirculate the warm air at the top of the room, which raises the temperature in the living space below (if fans are switched

from running counter-clockwise in the summer to running clockwise in the winter). Using ceiling fans can trim heating costs by 10 percent, according to Casablanca Fan Co. Fans have become an extension of decorative lighting, with people returning to traditional styles with plated finishes or choosing a rustic style for a more casual look, Killingsworth said. Other fans have more natural materials, also fitting with the desire for a greener look and feel in homes.

Ceiling fans with new DC motors (instead of the traditional AC motors) enable homeowners to use less electricity, said Phil Sherer, vice president of sales at Masterpiece Lighting.

Some motors are virtually silent, and since the motors are smaller, the fans are lighter, he said.
