helps to train state police officers, firefighters and medical personnel, and gives noncredit instruction in fields such as engineering, law and business.

The program also includes the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, which provides educational opportunities to people over 50. All told, Continuing Education provides courses and workforce training to more than 70,000 people a year through-

out the state. It’s been stationed in Lawrence since 1909, when it officially formed.

The relocation will take place through next year, starting with about 15 employees in the spring, said David Cook, KU vice chancellor and campus executive officer for Edwards. As Edwards adapts its current office and classroom space to make way for Continuing Education, the campus will absorb other per-

sonnel. Some programs, including the Kansas Fire and Rescue Training Institute in Lawrence, will stay where they are.

Cook expects the entire process to last until the end of 2014. Many of the details will be worked out in the months to come. “Some of this is going to be a work in progress,” Cook said.

Budget cuts challenging for KU health centers “

great strides in serving the state, but recent state and federal budget cuts are producing challenges, officials said Wednesday.

Regent Chairman Fred Logan Jr. called the KU Medical Center “one of the state’s finest assets.”

And he said lives will be saved because the KU Cancer Center won in 2012 National Cancer Institute designation.

“Studies have shown there is a better survival rate if you are treated at an NCI-designated center. What better return on investment is there than saving

— Doug Girod, executive vice chancellor of KUMC lives?” Logan said.

The regents heard updates on KUMC and the Cancer Center at their monthly meeting, which was held at the Medical Center.

Since the KU Cancer Center became the 67th NCI-designated center, it has improved its national ranking from 37th to 27th, according to U.S. News & World Report.

NCI funding to the center increased 34 percent to $13.9 million, and the number of clinical trials has increased 40 percent.

“That is a big deal in cancer care,” said Jeffrey Reene, chief operating officer of the KU Cancer Center.

But cuts approved by the Kansas Legislature and federal budget cuts through sequestration have produced challenges, officials said.

State support at KUMC has fallen from $120 million in 2008 to less than $100 million now. Last session, conservative Republicans in the Kansas Legislature cut approximately $34.3 to higher education, including about $8.3 million to KU Medical Center.

After the cuts, KUMC in-

creased tuition by 5 percent instead of a planned 3 percent increase, has 20 fewer nursing students, five fewer health professional students, and made reductions in other areas.

Doug Girod, executive vice chancellor of KUMC, said federal budget cuts have also reduced research grants.

Regent Kenny Wilk asked if because of sequestration other countries were recruiting researchers and scientists from the United States.

Girod said that was happening because China and India were pouring large amounts of money into research and development.

“The risk in all this is losing a generation of scientists,” Girod said.

Kansas University has picked Derek Kwan, vice president of concerts and touring at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, as the new executive director of the Lied Center of Kansas, the university announced on Wednesday.

Kwan will replace Executive Director Tim Van Leer, who is retiring after leading Kwan the Lied Center for the past 12 years.

Kwan has been vice president at Jazz at Lincoln Center since 2012. Prior to that he was an associate director of Jazz at Lincoln Center from 2000 to 2005. In between he served as executive director of programming at Interlochen Center for the Arts in Interlochen, Mich., from 2007 to 2012. He will begin in his new position at the Lied in January.

Hospital budget anticipates profitable year, but at reduced levels LMH not yet counting on significant revenue from Affordable Care Act

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The Affordable Care Act says 2014 is the year more Americans are supposed to have insurance, but the new budget for Lawrence Memorial Hospital isn’t counting on it.

LMH’s board of trustees on Wednesday approved a 2014 budget that estimates the hospital will remain profitable in the coming year but at lower levels than in past years. That’s despite the fact that the Affordable Care

The geographical fate of some KU Continuing Education employees is also uncertain to some extent. After the first wave of employees relocates offices from Lawrence to Edwards, decisions about who stays and who goes will be made “on a very individual basis,� Rosen said. Whether those employees who live in Lawrence will be compensated for gas mileage and other costs of commuting is also still uncertain.

Rosen and Cook both said it was a possibility, but no decisions have been made.

Cook said the proximity of Edwards to the Kansas City business community was one of the driving factors in moving the program. “We’ve been going out and listening and talking to the business community,�

Cook said. “What we’ve heard over and over and over again is that they’d like to have access to cutting edge information.

Now they can partner with the University of Kansas to meet those needs.�

current trends at the hospital. LMH is on pace to finish 2013 with an operating surplus of $4.3 million, which would be its lowest total in recent years. The hospital had budgeted for about an $8.5 million surplus in 2013.

The hospital is budgeting for an improved 2014, in part, based on an expected increase in business at LMH-owned physician practices. LMH has added physicians and extended some clinic hours, which will allow the number of patients seen at the practices to grow by a projected 17 percent.

Pedley, though, said the hospital’s growth will be constrained by the impacts of the federal sequestration and the state’s decision to not expand the Medicaid program.

As part of the Obamacare legislation, hospitals nationwide agreed to less favorable Medicare reimbursement rates with the idea that Medicaid programs would be expanded to cover many patients who currently are using the hospitals without insurance.

But the Supreme Court ruled that states are not required to expand their Medicaid programs. Kansas and several other states have opted not to expand their Medicaid

programs, which has left hospitals staring at a different cost equation. “We got the Medicare cuts, but they were supposed to be offset with more people being insured,� Pedley said. “That hasn’t happened yet.�

The federal sequestration also required a 2 percent cut in Medicare reimbursement rates to hospitals. Pedley said the hospital isn’t budgeting for the sequestration to be lifted in 2014.

Overall, the hospital’s budget calls for $202 million in operating revenue in 2014 compared with a projected $191 million for 2013. Expenses are budgeted to check in at $195 million for 2014 compared to $186 million for this year.. The budget calls for the hospital and its physician practices to have 1,138 full-time equivalent positions in 2014. That’s up about five positions from 2013.

In other news from Wednesday’s LMH Board meeting:

Board members were told the hospital again was included on a list honoring the top 100 hospitals in the country. LMH was named to the 2013 Top 100 HealthStrong Hospitals

by IVantage Health Analytics. The company rated the hospital based on its competitive strength in the market, a host of patient outcomes and affordability measures, and LMH’s financial strength.

The award marks the

third time this year that LMH has been named to a list of top 100 hospitals in the country.

It was announced one of the top accreditation organizations in the hospital industry has recognized a trio of LMH services as among the best in the country. The Joint Commission has announced LMH’s heart attack care, pneumonia care and surgical care have been named to the organization’s “Top Performer� group. The designation means the hospital ranked in the top third of all U.S. hospitals measured. This is the second year in a row LMH has been honored in the three categories.

The hospital became the first hospital in the state to be designated a High 5 for Mom & Baby hospital. The program recognizes hospitals that have taken special steps to encourage new mothers to breastfeed their infants.

Board members were told the hospital has reached a preliminary agreement to hire an endocrinologist. LMH officials have been working to hire an endocrinologist for several years because people with advanced diabetes or thyroid problems often have been leaving town to visit and endocrinology specialist. LMH expects the new doctor to begin practice in September. — City reporter Chad Lawhorn can be reached at 832-6362. Follow him at Twitter.com/clawhorn_ljw

Trial set for man facing federal drug and gun charges

By Stephen Montemayor smontemayor@ljworld.com

The Lawrence man facing the possibility of life in prison on federal drug and gun charges is now set to stand trial in January.

Hunter R. Wheeler, 23, was arrested and later indicted in October on multiple charges of possessing methamphetamine, intending to distribute the drug and possessing a firearm. He will begin an expected four-day trial in federal court on Jan. 6 in Kansas City, Kan. Wheeler is in federal

County finds tow program effective

custody charged with three counts of distributing methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and one count of unlawful p o s s e s - Wheeler sion of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.

Wheeler, who is alleged to have committed the offenses in Douglas County

in September and October, faces anywhere from five years to life in prison if convicted of all five counts.

If convicted, Wheeler faces five to 40 years and a fine up to $8 million on each distribution count, 10 years to life on the count of possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine and up to five years on the unlawful possession of a firearm charge.

Wheeler pleaded not guilty to all five counts on Oct. 28.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Jabari Wamble is pros-

ecuting and Lawrence police investigated the case before the arrest. Police arrested Wheeler on Oct. 7 following an undercover investigation over the course of a little less than two weeks. The investigation allegedly involved Wheeler selling $5,500 of methamphetamine to an undercover officer in three transactions.

Police said that when they searched Wheelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in the 700 block of Arkansas Street, they discovered more than five grams of methamphetamine, digital scales,

money, packaging materials and items used to consume both marijuana and methamphetamine. Officers also said they found a Glock 9mm handgun with a loaded magazine. When he was arrested on Oct. 7, Wheeler was allegedly on his way to meet the undercover officer after arranging a sale via cellphone. Officers reported discovering on Wheeler 87 grams of meth and the phone used in the transaction.

Both sides in the case are scheduled for a final pretrial conference on Dec. 17.

Douglas County officials say they are pleased with a new program enacted last year that regulates how much towing companies can charge for certain kinds of tows, and they plan to renew it for another year with only minor changes.

Last year, responding to complaints by residents about overcharging by some companies, the county enacted a poliCOUNTY cy requiring c o m p a n i e s COMMISSION on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonpreferred listâ&#x20AC;? to sign a contract in which they agreed to charge set prices.

That list is used in cases such as accidents when the owner of a vehicle has no preference about which towing company to call, so the county emergency dispatch center chooses one from the rotating list.

That policy went into effect Nov. 1, 2012, and county commissioners agreed at that time to review the contract after one year.

TOPEKA est health insurer said Tuesday that it will offer another year of coverage under plans that it had expected to cancel in 2014 because of the federal health care overhaul.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas said it hopes to notify about 10,000 policyholders within the next week that they can continue with their existing, individual coverage. The company had sent them notices canceling their policies as of Jan. 1, leaving them to find new health plans.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision came less than a week after President Barack Obama announced that insurers would be allowed to keep offering existing plans for at least another year, even if those plans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply with federal coverage mandates. At least 4 million Americans received cancellation notices because their plans didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet the require-

Larry L. Hopkins, 67, who remains in the Douglas County Jail on a $150,000 bond, appeared in Douglas County District Court on Wednesday for a scheduled competency hearing. Judge Michael Malone granted the defenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for a mental health evaluation last week.

Hopkins was charged with first-degree murder in the Nov. 5 shooting death of his wife, Margaret Hopkins, 61, at the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in the 1600 block of West 2nd Terrace.

Malone rescheduled the hearing for 9:30 a.m.

et ready, hardcore sketch comedy fans. The small troupe born out of the “Victor Continental Show” has 20 live sketches and 10 short films prepared for this year’s “Loaded for Bear 4: Ad Astra Per Ursa” (very poorly translated, to the stars through bears).

Without actually giving away any concrete details or storylines — the element of surprise is key to sketch comedy — coproducer Matt Gaus says this particular show caters to true comedy geeks, weaving intellect, wordplay and polished writing into all things weird.

“It’s the people who would buy an entire series of sketch shows and watch them entirely,” Gaus says. “It’s for some person who might obsessively watch a comedy and rewind it to see what they missed. It’s multilayered, there is a little bit of intellect. We can have jokes about romantic encounters and sea creatures and James Joyce in the same sketch.”

Nicknamed Reverend Peyton during his brief stint in seminary courses, Josh Peyton was originally planning on becoming a minister because of the spiritual connection he felt after performing his music in front of people for the first time in church.

“I loved the music, fellowship and kitchen dinners,” Peyton says. “But now my life is like that every day, it’s like Sunday.

Community, song and a new adventure every day.

Wouldn’t change anything.”

So he’s not actually a reverend. But some people also call him Kentucky Colonel, so try take the name with a grain of salt.

“I collect nicknames like some people collect stamps,” he says.

Kansas insurance official declines Obama meeting

Honoring JFK

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA, former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, pause during a wreath laying ceremony in honor of President John F. Kennedy, Wednesday at the JFK gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va. Friday will mark the 50th anniversary of the JFK assassination.

Lawyer claims he lacked training in death penalty case; may lose his law license TOPEKA (AP) — A northeast Kansas attorney proposed Tuesday during a disciplinary hearing that he be allowed to keep his law license if he agrees to never again defend another murder case in court.

Dennis Hawver faces disbarment or indefinite suspension of his law license for the handling of the capital murder case of Phillip D. Cheatham Jr. of Topeka.

The Topeka Capital Journal reported Wednesday that Hawver acknowledged during Tuesday’s hearing that he lacked the training to handle capital cases.

“I regret that Mr. Cheatham has been im-

periled,” Hawver told the panel. “I recognize I made a mistake by taking the case.”

Cheatham, 40, was convicted in Shawnee County in the December 2003 killing of Annette Roberson and Gloria Jones and in the wounding of Annetta COURTS Thomas at a Topeka home.

The Kansas Supreme Court ruled in January that Cheatham didn’t get a fair trial because his attorney, Dennis Hawver of Ozawkie, spent only 200 hours preparing for

| 7A

the case, which the court called “appallingly low for a death penalty defense and even more stunning when all but 60 of those hours, as Hawver testified, were spent in trial.”

Hawver, 70, has practiced law for 38 years. He asked the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys to order him to not handle any more murder cases but allow him to practice other forms of law in his Jefferson County practice.

Deputy disciplinary administrator Alexander Walczak recommended that the board disbar Hawver if he knowingly violated ethics laws or that his license be suspended if

it was a case of negligently violating the rules.

Walczak told the panel that Hawver accepted a one-year diversion agreement in April 2003 for his representation of a woman in an equal employment rights case, which the woman lost. He took the Cheatham case just months later.

The panel asked Hawver if he thought he should have taken the Cheatham case based on the results of the employment case.

“I didn’t know at that time that (a capital case) would be handled any differently than any other murder cases,” Hawver said.

Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger declined to attend a meeting on Wednesday with President Obama to discuss problems with the Affordable Care Act. Praeger, one of the few Republicans who has supported the ACA, was invited to the meeting, along with the president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and two other members of the group.

Bob Hanson, a spokesman for Praeger, said Praeger wanted to stay in Kansas to try to resolve issues with the ACA. “The Commissioner and department personnel are in the middle of conferring with companies on how the President’s changes might be

implemented.

“Those business and regulatory discussions are keeping the Commissioner here in Kansas to make sure any details are hammered out in the best interest of our citizens,” Hanson said.

In addition, Praeger, a past president of the NAIC, signed a joint email with several other insurance commissioners saying that they didn’t want to meet with Obama before the entire membership of the NAIC had built a consensus position.

“While we greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with President Obama, briefing the membership and working to build consensus on a meeting of this importance needs to occur prior to sitting down with him,” the email said.

Former nursing student sues 2 Kansas colleges WICHITA (AP) — A former nursing student filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against two community colleges in Kansas over an adverse and secret clinical reference she contends destroyed her educational and employment opportunities.

Rebecca A. Lemon sued Coffeyville Community College and a nursing program instructor for defamation. Her lawsuit also claims the college falsely assured her when she enrolled that its nursing program would be accredited.

Lemon is also seeking a

court order requiring Labette Community College and its nursing director to disclose the identity of the person whose reference was the basis of her denial to that school’s nursing program. She wants copies of her educational records, including a copy of the adverse recommendation, and a court order forcing the college to admit her into its nursing program.

The colleges and the two employees named as defendants did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.

central Kansas college has received a $1 million gift from a deceased Arkansas woman.

Central Christian College announced on Tuesday that it had received the estate gift from Lela Hudson Honkonen of Batesville, Ark., who died in April. It was the largest estate gift ever given to the college in McPherson.

Honkonen graduated from Central Christian in 1937. She worked 43 years for the federal government as a transportation specialist. She wanted the gift used for tuition and books for financially challenged students.

The Hutchinson News reports her gift will go to the President’s Opportunity Grant Program, which was started this summer to support students who work to pay for their education.

In 2009, Honkonen’s sister, Altha Hudson, left more than $800,000 to Central Christian College.

BRIEFLY 4 arrested after deadly shooting WICHITA — Four people have been arrested in connection with the weekend shooting that left a Kansas woman dead and her husband critically injured, authorities said Wednesday.

The couple was rushed to a Wichita hospital Friday night after they were found suffering from gunshot wounds outside their home in Valley Center, which is north of Wichita, said Sheriff’s Capt. Greg Pollock of the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Department.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s office said 53-yearold Melissa Bluml died Saturday. Her husband, Roger Bluml, remains hospitalized in critical condition.

An 18-year-old Valley Center man was booked on

suspicion of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and burglary.

A 35-year-old San Diego woman and an 18-yearold Park City man are in custody facing possible charges of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, burglary and aggravated robbery. Another 18-year-old Park City man was also being held on suspicion of first-degree murder and attempted first degree murder.

Man charged with stealing charity funds LEE’S SUMMIT, MO. — The Jackson County prosecutor has filed charges against a suburban Kansas City man accused of stealing two donation displays for the Children’s Miracle Network.

The prosecutor’s office said Wednesday that 49-year-old Michael W. Sterbach, of Overland Park, Kan., is charged with two felony counts of stealing

for allegedly taking the containers, which had about $90 in them. The money is used to help provide medical care for children. The prosecutor’s office says each display was also worth about $500.

The prosecutor’s office says video images show a man hauling off the displays from a Lee’s Summit store on Oct. 26 and Nov. 2.

Sterbach told police he wanted to get money for drugs. Lee’s Summit police say he surrendered to police after learning he was the focus of the investigation.

USDA gives 100K grant to Kan. schools T OPEKA — Kansas is receiving a $100,000 federal grant to promote the use of locally grown food in schools and agriculture education programs.

The grants were announced Tuesday to 42

states and 71 programs nationwide by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

Kansas Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman says eight school districts that have agriculture education programs will be selected to receive $12,500 each to develop the means for getting local food products served in school meal programs.

The goal will be to get a minimum of two locally produced food items served in school cafeterias each month. Other agriculture education materials and workshops will be required as part of receiving the grant.

Kansas districts with significant percentages of participation in free and reduced-priced lunches will be given preference in the state’s selection.

ASHLAND — A dog owner in western Kansas is seeking justice after his dog was apparently strangled.

Justin Underwood told KWCH that his 9-year-old border collie named Mac ran away last week. He says that two days later he got a call from a woman claiming she shot the dog because it was harassing her goats.

Underwood says he went to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office after finding no evidence of gunshots or metal fragments in the X-ray.

The sheriff’s office sent the dog’s body to a research lab at Kansas State University, which found that the dog had been strangled.

Underwood says Mac was trained to herd cattle and would not have hurt other animals. He says he does not understand why the woman killed him.

New â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;designer dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; keeps its puppy face

A MODEL poses next to a Hyundai Tucson facelift on display at the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Saturday. Hyundai and two other manufacturers have revealed hydrogen cars that will be coming to market.

Hyundai, Honda, Toyota unveil new hydrogen-powered cars DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cars that run on hydrogen and exhaust only water vapor are emerging to challenge electric vehicles as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation of the future.

At auto shows on two continents Wednesday, three automakers unveiled hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to be delivered to the general public as early as next spring.

Hyundai Motor Co. will be the first to the mass market in the United States. It unveiled a hydrogen-powered Tucson small SUV at the Los Angeles Auto Show that will be leased to consumers. Honda also revealed plans in Los Angeles for a car due out in 2015.

Earlier, at the Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota promised a mass-produced fuel cell car by 2015 in Japan and 2016 in the United States.

Hydrogen cars are appealing because unlike electric vehicles, they have the range of a typical gasoline car and can be refueled quickly. Experts say the industry also has overcome safety and reliability concerns that have hindered distribution in the past.

But hydrogen cars still have a glaring downside â&#x20AC;&#x201D; refueling stations are scarce, and costly to build.

Consumers can expect costs in line with some luxury models. In Tokyo, Toyota promised a price of $50,000 to $100,000, and as close to the lower figure as possible. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comparable to its Lexus luxury sedans, but a range that makes the once space-age fuel cells more feasible.

Hyundai said it will lease the Tucsons for $499 per month for three years with

$3,000 down. And Hyundai is offering to pay the hydrogen and maintenance costs. The company will start leasing in the Los Angeles area, where most of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine fueling stations are located. Honda wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal any pricing details.

Even as battery-powered and hybrid-electric cars took on conventional gasoline models in the past decade, automakers continued research into hydrogen fuel cells, said Paul Mutolo, director of external partnerships for the Cornell University Energy Materials Center. Manufacturers now are limited only by costs and the lack of filling stations, he said.

Hydrogen cars, Mutolo said, have an advantage over battery-powered electric cars because drivers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry

Study: Eating nuts may reduce risk for heart disease, cancer DALLAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Help yourself to some nuts this holiday season: Regular nut eaters were less likely to die of cancer or heart disease â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in fact, were less likely to die of any cause â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during a 30-year Harvard study.

Nuts have long been called heart-healthy, and the study is the largest ever done on whether eating them affects mortality.

Researchers tracked 119,000 men and women and found that those who ate nuts roughly every day were 20 percent less likely to die during the study period than those who never ate nuts. Eating nuts less often also appeared to lower the death risk, in direct proportion to consumption.

The risk of dying of heart disease dropped 29 percent and the risk of dying of cancer fell 11 percent among those who had nuts seven

or more times a week compared with people who never ate them.

The benefits were seen from peanuts as well as from pistachios, almonds, walnuts and other tree nuts. The researchers did not look at how the nuts were prepared â&#x20AC;&#x201D; oiled or salted, raw or roasted.

A bonus: Nut eaters stayed slimmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a general perception that if you eat more nuts youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get fat. Our results show the opposite,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Ying Bao of Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Boston.

She led the study, published in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New England Journal of Medicine. The National Institutes of Health and the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research & Education Foundation sponsored the

study, but the nut group had no role in designing it or reporting the results.

Researchers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why nuts may boost health.

It could be that their unsaturated fatty acids, minerals and other nutrients lower cholesterol and inflammation and reduce other problems, as earlier studies seemed to show.

Observational studies like this one canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prove cause and effect, only suggest a connection. Research on diets is especially tough, because it can be difficult to single out the effects of any one food.

People who eat more nuts may eat them on salads, for example, and some of the benefit may come from the leafy greens, said Dr. Robert Eckel, a University of Colorado cardiologist and former president of the American Heart Association.

about running out of electricity and having to wait hours for recharging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very similar to the kind of behavior that drivers have come to expect from their gasoline cars,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Hydrogen fuel cells use a complex chemical process to separate electrons and protons in hydrogen gas molecules. The movement of electrons creates electricity that powers a carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electric motor, which turns the wheels.

Since the hydrogen isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t burned, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no pollution. Instead, oxygen also is pumped into the system, and when it meets the hydrogen ions and electrons, that creates water and heat as byproducts.

Hydrogen costs as little as $3 for an amount needed to power a car the same distance as a gallon of gasoline, Mutolo said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Imagine the ideal designer dog. It would be smart, healthy and hypoallergenic. It would have the yap bred out and longevity bred in. And, most important, it would never lose its puppy face.

Enter the â&#x20AC;&#x153;cava-poochon.â&#x20AC;? The breed is the newest and latest in the decades-old search for the dog-face fountain of youth and perfect pet accessory.

But the American Kennel Club does not recognize the new trend as an official breed, and one expert calls some specially bred small dogs expensive â&#x20AC;&#x153;gimmicks.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been a market for these foreverish young dogs,â&#x20AC;? said veteran trainer Steve Haynes of Fidelio Dog Works in Austin who is working with 50 first-generation cava-poo-chons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until recently, specialized dogs like miniature Yorkies and miniature Maltese

were the go-to dogs.â&#x20AC;?

The cava-poo-chon is a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and Bichon Frise mix bred with a miniature poodle. With the help of a geneticist and reproductive veterinarian, the tribrid or â&#x20AC;&#x153;triple crossâ&#x20AC;? was created by Linda and Steve Rogers of Timshell Farm in Pine, Ariz.

With a price tag ranging from $2,000 to $3,500, the cava-poo-chon combines the best of the three breeds, Linda Rogers said.

She added that there is no reason they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live for 20 years. The dogs weigh 10-15 pounds on average and the Rogerses offer a choice of color and two types of coat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; curly or very curly, she said.

So far, 58 families have returned to get a second cava-poo-chon, and 12 of the dogs have been certified to work in nursing homes and hospitals as therapy dogs, Rogers said.

SMALL BOATS sit on the shore of Guanabara Bay in the suburb of Sao Goncalo, across the bay from Rio de Janeiro Tuesday. The bay was home to a thriving artisanal fishing industry and popular palm-lined beaches as recently as the late 1970s, but has become a watery dump for waste from shipyards and two commercial ports. Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Olympic Games.

Rioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic waterways filled with trash, sewage RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rio de Janeiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s endless beaches and lush tropical forest will be a photographerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream during the 2016 Olympics. But zoom in on the likes of once-pristine Guanabara Bay, and the picture is of household trash and raw sewage.

In the neon green waters around the site of the future Olympic Park, the average fecal pollution rate is 78 times that of the Brazilian governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;satisfactoryâ&#x20AC;? limit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 195 times the level considered safe in the United States. Nearly 70 percent of Rioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewage goes untreated, meaning runoff from its many slums and poor neighborhoods drain into waters soon to host some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best athletes.

Unless Brazil makes headway in cleaning up its waters, experts warn the Summer Games could pose health risks to athletes and mar what officials hope will be a global showcase event. Instead of the soaring vistas of Sugarloaf Mountain, the world could instead see old couches in the bay and tons of dead fish floating atop a city lake.

Rioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic committee has pledged in writing that the pollution problems will be fixed, and many had hoped the Olympics would force authorities to tackle decades of neglect and poor planning that have blighted waterways.

BRIEFLY U.S. paces itself as Iran talks resume

people who contact them with concerns about seat width.

GENEVA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; International negotiations aimed at limiting Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disputed nuclear program resumed Wednesday, with U.S. officials insisting they would take the time necessary to reach the best possible preliminary deal despite mounting pressure for a quick agreement.

A week and a half after the last round of talks in Geneva broke off without an agreement, a U.S. negotiating team joined those of five other world powers and Iran in negotiations that are scheduled to run at least through Friday.

Representatives of the U.S., Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia met among themselves and with the Iranians during the day.

The six nations negotiating with Iran are preparing a deal that offers Tehran limited relief from the Western sanctions crippling its economy in return for limits on its nuclear program. Many countries fear that Iran is seeking a nuclear weapons capability, despite its denials.

Almost all of the delegations voiced optimism that a deal was close at hand.

LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been turned down by planes, trains and even a cruise ship in his quest to return home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and his family says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because he has been deemed too fat to travel.

Now Frenchman Kevin Chenaisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; long and fitful journey is coming to an end.

Chenais, who weighs 500 pounds (230 kilograms), says he has been repeatedly refused transport over the past two weeks as he sought to get home to France from the United States. P&O Ferries offered to take him in his ambulance aboard the Spirit of Britain on Wednesday, the final hurdle keeping him from his home near the Swiss border.

The odyssey began when British Airways refused to honor his return ticket from the United States, where he spent months receiving medical care for a hormone imbalance.

BA acknowledges that it refused to let Chenais board the plane, but said confidentiality rules prevent it from saying why.

BA insisted that it does not discriminate against customers for any reason and that the airline provides the option of an extra seat to

Cairo suicide bomb kills 11, wounds 37 CAIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A suicide car bomb hit a bus convoy of off-duty Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai Peninsula on Wednesday, killing 11 and wounding 37, in the latest of a stepped-up wave of attacks blamed on Islamic militants sympathetic to ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

The mounting insurgency in the restive Sinai has sent security and intelligence agencies scrambling for new tactics to thwart future attacks and protect themselves amid signs of the violence creeping into other parts of Egypt, particularly the capital, Cairo.

Among the attacks that have raised alarm was the killing of a senior security officer who monitors Islamist groups, gunned down in his Cairo neighborhood Sunday night.

The violence has prompted a shakeup within security agenciesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ranks, including a hunt for possible Islamist â&#x20AC;&#x153;molesâ&#x20AC;? amid officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suspicions that Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muslim Brotherhood is linked to the violence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an accusation the group denies.

Front of the pack KU’s new degree offerings emphasizing technology and online education are a good example of reaching for the best.

K

ansas University’s School of Education appears to be making strides related to technology that perhaps other schools should emulate.

It was announced last week that KU’s Edwards Campus would begin offering, through the School of Education, a new master’s degree program in educational technology, taking advantage of partial support from the Johnson County Education Research Triangle sales tax.

The new program is intended to help professionals gain skills in writing and designing online resources for organizational training and education, and enables students to choose among multidisciplinary offerings in education, communications, engineering and other fields, although the core feature will be technological specialization, KU officials said.

“Technology is infecting all aspects of our culture. Businesses have a need for people who understand the technology,” said Rick Ginsberg, dean of the education school, in explaining the decision to offer the new master’s program.

The school, which also offers degrees in educational technology on Mount Oread, is itself using technology, in addition to teaching about its use. Its highly regarded special education department is moving rapidly into an online delivery model and will be the first to offer a special education program online.

With the help of Illinois-based educational technology company Everspring, KU will begin offering an online master’s degree in special education this coming spring. The partnership with Everspring eventually will produce 15 new online graduate degree and certificate programs, all within the School of Education. KU Online currently offers just two fully Web-based programs.

“We’re positioning ourselves to move to the front of a pack that we haven’t been in the front of before,” Ginsberg told the Journal-World earlier.

Ginsberg said launching the expansion with graduate-level education programs makes sense because they are geared toward educators who often work full time.

Congratulations to Ginsberg and his colleagues for their enthusiasm and vision and their determination not to be complacent even about the special education master’s program, which U.S. News & World Report ranked No. 1 among public U.S. colleges and No. 2 overall in 2013.

Remembering a nation in spring We were never innocent.

That word is invariably used to describe what changed in America 50 years ago Friday when a dashing young president was murdered in Dallas. But the word has never been quite right.

Anyone who was 40 years old the day John Kennedy died had already lived through global economic collapse, factories silenced, smokestacks stilled, bankers selling apples on street corners. She had seen the agricultural heartland dry up and blow away in towering black clouds of dust, the former tenants dispossessed and forced to flee.

She had seen war on a scale that beggars the imagination, mass murder in numbers that blaspheme God and a nuclear sunrise over Japan. Just the year before, she had seen the world teeter on the brink of another nuclear catastrophe.

We were not innocent.

And yet, something did change when Kennedy’s motorcade executed that hairpin turn onto Elm Street and Lee Harvey Oswald pulled the trigger of that mail order carbine.

After that moment, something was different, something was lost — and it has haunted America ever since.

Leonard Pitts Jr. lpitts@miamiherald.com

“

The notion that anything could ever be too big for America would have been laughable before John Kennedy died.”

1963 is the year the 1960s began, the year so many of the themes that would define that tumultuous era — civil rights, women’s rights, Vietnam, the British Invasion, political assassination — came together for the first time.

But there was an idyll before that, a brief period that belonged neither to the dour ’50s nor to the ’60s as they turned out to be. That brief moment was a time of America in full flower and roaring confidence, a time when no one doubted America’s ability and willingness to do big things, least of all America itself.

Popular culture is the most sensitive barometer of a nation’s mood and it caught this period perfectly. Cars shed their fins and their big soft curves and grew lean and angular.

Sam Cooke painted a picture of sleek, urbane cool that redefined the look and sound of African-American music. And if the Petries of “The Dick Van Dyke Show’’ still slept in separate beds as the Ricardos of “I Love Lucy’’ had back in the ’50s, one still got the feeling that here was a couple who shared a physical attraction that would have made Lucy and Ricky blush and that after the cameras went away, those beds were pushed together.

Kennedy was the perfect president for that moment.

Handsome, witty, just 43 years old when he was inaugurated, he brought to the White House a glamorous wife who was herself just 31, along with two attractive young children. “Out with the old,” America seemed to say. Kennedy pointedly declared in his inauguration address that “the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century.” Dwight Eisenhower, the man he succeed-

ed, was born in 1890.

America was a nation in spring.

It says something that the country’s last moment of national mission, its last moment of pulling together in sustained unity toward a great common goal, came from Kennedy, who, in 1962, committed us to reaching the moon. By the time we got there in 1969, he was dead and the nation — racked by riot, war, upheaval and repeated assassination — was simply exhausted.

In many important ways, we still are. Note that when Barack Obama proposed to change the health care system, one of the criticisms was that the idea was simply too big.

The notion that anything could ever be too big for America would have been laughable before John Kennedy died. So what America lost that day — what it has been mourning and seeking to restore ever since — is that image of itself as a place where all skies are endless, all possibilities open and big things doable, that sense of itself as a nation in spring.

We were never innocent.

What we were, you see, was young.

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 21, 1913: YEARS “One more day AGO and the football IN 1913 season of 1913 will be closed. Shortly after 8 o’clock this evening several hundred fans from Lawrence leave the University town bound for the stronghold of the rivals, bound for the scene of the closing act of the Kansas football drama. At Columbia, Missouri, tomorrow, the mighty Tiger and the fighting Jayhawk meet once again in mortal combat.”

Egypt is looking for its way back CAIRO — Bassem Youssef, Egypt’s popular television comedian, expresses the irreverent confidence this country will need to regain stability. On air, he mocks the autocratic tendencies of both the Muslim Brotherhood leaders and the army generals who toppled them from power.

Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sissi and his adoring supporters unfortunately seem to have lost the celebrated Egyptian sense of humor. Youssef presented a hilarious episode on Oct. 25 that showed footage of Sissi admonishing the nation. Then a muscular hand emerged from under the table and placed a new script before Youssef.

When he shouted the Arabic word for “freedom,” the anonymous hand dove for his groin and began squeezing.

Youssef’s next show was pulled from the air, and last week an Egyptian prosecutor referred 30 complaints to a judge for investigation.

It was a chilling response.

But more than that, it was stupid: It made Sissi’s government look petty and dictatorial.

I came away from a visit here convinced that Egypt can find its way to civilian democracy — but only if officials lighten up and create the more tolerant, robust country that was envisioned by the Tahrir Square revolution that overthrew Hosni Mubarak. If Sissi decides to run for president next year, he will almost certainly win.

But the general’s victory would retard Egypt’s political development.

The U.S., after months of confusing stop-go policy

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

“

Westerners should take hope, as Egyptians do, from the fact that most people here decided they didn’t want to live in the rigid Muslim society that the Brotherhood was creating. When Morsi suspended the constitution last November, the U.S. was slow to react; it was too supportive of the new Islamist regime.

That still grates with Egyptians.”

toward Egypt, may finally be moving to help its longstanding ally find some balance. The State Department is forming a team to work with the United Arab Emirates, and perhaps Saudi Arabia, to support the Egyptian economy and smooth the political transition.

American policy over the past year had managed to offend nearly everyone here. The U.S. was seen as too supportive of President Mohamed Morsi during his year in power. When the military intervened, some Islamists thought (wrongly) that the U.S. was complicit

in the bloody crackdown.

American attempts to punish the regime by cutting military and economic assistance further angered people.

Unfortunately, high-level confusion in U.S. policy appears to be continuing, with Secretary of State John Kerry supporting more assistance for Egypt and national security adviser Susan Rice resisting what might appear to be support for the military coup. The U.S. can’t afford such policy disarray.

Hossam Bahgat, a leading Egyptian human rights activist, correctly says there must be accountability for the deaths of hundreds of pro-Morsi demonstrators.

But that accountability must come from Egyptians, not Americans. “The country goes down the drain, and the U.S. responds with its usual policy of ‘managing the crisis.’ That sends the wrong message,” complains Amr Moussa, a former foreign minister. “If the crisis has to be managed, it should be managed by us.

We don’t want a lose-lose situation here like Syria or Iraq.”

Moussa is heading a 50-person commission that is writing a new constitution for Egypt as part of its road map back to democracy. The plan calls for the constitution to be completed in December, and a public referendum in January. Parliamentary elections will follow in April, and presidential elections in June.

But this constitutional framework may have the regrettable effect of legitimizing military rule, if Sissi decides to run for presi-

dent — following in the path of generals-turnedpresidents Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat and Mubarak. “We don’t want a new pharaoh,” says Bahgat.

Many Egyptians share this wariness of another military leader.

Egypt’s political problem is that the secular parties haven’t yet generated a popular leader as an alternative to Sissi. “Three years of revolution have not produced one person who can speak for the revolution,” says Hani Shukrallah, the former editor of Al-Ahram Online and a vocal critic of both Mubarak and Morsi.

Westerners should take hope, as Egyptians do, from the fact that most people here decided they didn’t want to live in the rigid Muslim society that the Brotherhood was creating. When Morsi suspended the constitution last November, the U.S. was slow to react; it was too supportive of the new Islamist regime. That still grates with Egyptians.

A slogan among Egyptians these days is “Ayzeen ne’aish,” which loosely translates as “We just want to live.” But this understates the desire for change that’s still evident when Egyptians talk about their “revolutions” — first against Mubarak and then against Morsi. People want to live, yes — but with the freedom and dignity the revolutions promised.

A U.S. policy tilt back toward Egypt, as urged by Kerry, makes sense — most of all if it aligns America with the narrative of change that began in 2011 in Tahrir Square.

KU improves odds for postseason with 3-1 victory

A COUPLE OF KANSAS FANS SMILE while watching the video board during the game against Iona, Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Self still not fan of altered anthem

“

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Bill Self, who, in his 11 years at Kansas University has occasionally provided pizza and donuts for students who camp out for seats at games, never takes the Jayhawks’ loudest, most creative supporters for granted.

“The students are great,” Self said Wednesday on his “Hawk Talk” radio show.

“We don’t want to take away their enthusiasm.”

At the same time, he requests that those students who sing, “home of the Chiefs,” at the conclusion of the National Anthem, return to singing the actual words of the song: “home of the brave.”

“I don’t think we should do that (sing ‘home of Chiefs’),” Self said, responding directly to a question from a Hawk Talk caller.

“It was a couple years ago we actually made a big deal out of that and the students complied and quit doing it for a period of time.”

The “home of the Chiefs” lyrics disappeared in the 2012-13 season after Self spoke publicly about the matter in January of 2012.

“For whatever reason, I guess they’ve started doing it again. That’s not what needs to be done in this particular situation. Especially in today’s time when there’s so much publicity and notoriety, rightfully so, to the men and women who sacrifice so much for our country,” Self said. “I think it’s probably not something we should do, but from a kids’ standpoint I don’t think they know they are in poor taste doing it. I think it’s just something we should look at and realize, ‘Hey, c’mon now, let’s think about this before we actually do it.’”

Nobody knows exactly when it started, but some of the KU students in the end zones have been singing “home of the Chiefs” several seasons now, with the exception being last season.

Some of them perform the “tomahawk chop” when singing those words. It’s a copycat of pregame at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium, where Chiefs fans have altered the words of the anthem in tribute to the home team for decades.

Of course, it should be noted many KU students do not take part in the altering of the song.

“That’s one tradition that in my opinion certainly we could do without,” Self told the Journal-World on Jan. 19, 2012. “I think it’d be more respectful toward the anthem and what that stands for to go ahead and use the actual words to it than putting in their own. I think they should stick to Francis Scott Please see KU MEN, page 3B

A furious fourth-set rally helped the Kansas University volleyball team preserve its fast start, and the 22ndranked Jayhawks knocked off No. 24 Iowa State, 25-21, 25-23, 22-25, 25-20, in Ames, Iowa, to give Kansas its first victory at ISU since 2004.

“The coaches were saying all day how they didn’t feel like we had a lot of energy with us,” said senior setter Erin McNorton, who led KU with 37 assists. “But I think we were just really, really focused.”

The victory not only erased the bad vibe that lingered from dropping a fiveset match to We were the Cyclones earlier this just so season in confident Lawrence, but also out there. helped posi- We knew tion the Jay- what was hawks (21-6 overall, 11-3 at stake Big 12) to tonight.” potentially host first- — Kansas and second- University libero round NCAA Brianne Riley Tournament matches at Allen Fieldhouse for the second year in a row.

KU coach Ray Bechard said hosting in the postseason was not something his team had talked about much and added that discussing it was not necessary.

“It isn’t,” Bechard said.

“We’ve got smart kids. They know how it works. Obviously, we’re a little bit closer to that goal after a night like tonight.”

The victory moved the Jayhawks into sole possession of second place in the Big 12 standings with two conference matches remaining — Saturday vs. Texas Tech and the season finale on Nov. 30 at Oklahoma. McNorton said achieving something that had never been done in KU history has been a huge source of motivation for the Jayhawks during recent weeks.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY OFFENSIVE LINEMAN RILEY SPENCER CELEBRATES a touchdown by running back James Sims during the third quarter against West Virginia on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Future fireman Riley Spencer fights off defenders, injuries to make impact for KU If you have the misfortune of needing assistance because of a fire, an automobile accident, or a cat stuck in a tree and the firefighter who helps you out of your jam stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 305 pounds, thank him for his service.

And then thank him for his service to the Kansas University football program.

Riley Spencer, a fifthyear senior left tackle from Hesston, has doubled as a volunteer firefighter for the Wakarusa Township Fire Department, housed at 300 W. 31st Street.

A two-time Academic AllBig 12 selection, Spencer wants to make a career of it and is enrolled in an Emergency Medical Technician certification class second semester at Johnson County Community College. He studied pre-exercise science at KU, graduated in August and is taking a full class-load this semester.

Before pursuing a career dream that burned inside most of us as children but faded because of one factor or another — mine is an intense fear of heights, replete with recurring nightmares — he has two very big goals he first will chase. He wants to win two more football games.

It makes sense that an offensive lineman would be well-suited for the risky and rewarding challenge of fighting fires. Firemen run into buildings when everybody else is running out of them.

O-linemen run into massive defenders when the guy with the football is running away from them.

Firemen don’t perform their jobs for glory, they open holes for others, sometimes with axes, and they are in it to protect others. Blockers pro-

Tigers, Rangers swap Fielder, Kinsler DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Prince Fielder was traded to the Texas Rangers in a blockbuster deal Wednesday night that sent second baseman Ian Kinsler to the Detroit Tigers.

Detroit gave the Rangers $30 million as part of the trade, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the amount of money exchanged was not revealed

when the teams announced the move.

Fielder had to consent to the trade before it could be completed. The big first baseman signed a $214 million, nine-year contract with the Tigers before the 2012 season that includes a limited no-trade provision.

Kinsler just finished the first season of a $75 million, five-year contract.

N. Illinois rolls past Toledo The Associated Press

No. 20 Northern Illinois 35, Toledo 17 TOLEDO, OHIO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Northern Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jordan Lynch ran for three touchdowns and 161 yards to lead the No. 20 Huskies over Toledo, 35-17, on Wednesday night.

The Huskies (11-0, 7-0 MidAmerican Conference) clinched a fourth consecutive trip to the MAC title game and extended their 24-game conference winning streak.

Lynch had been shut down in the first half, but he took over late.

His 1-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter capped a 99-yard drive that stretched the Huskiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead to 28-17.

Northern Illinois is still in the hunt for a second straight Bowl Championship Series appearance. The Huskies are 16th in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCS rankings.

Terrance Owens threw two touchdown passes for Toledo (7-4, 5-2).

Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading rusher, David Fluellen, started after missing the past two games because of what the team has called a lower leg injury.

FRIDAY

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alex Rodriguez benched himself at his own grievance hearing.

The New York Yankees standout walked out in the middle of a session Wednesday, and furious arbitrator Fredric Horowitz refused to order baseball Commissioner Bud Selig to testify. The move, followed by angry statements accusing Selig of bias and the entire arbitration process of flaws, appeared to be a prelude to a lawsuit challenging whatever ruling Horowitz makes on A-Rodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 211-game suspension.

Horowitz was in the midst of the third week of hearings on the grievance filed by the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association to overturn the penalty given to the three-time AL MVP by Major League Baseball in August for alleged violations of the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug agreement and labor contract.

Paulino becomes free agent KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Right-hander Felipe Paulino elected to become a free agent Wednesday rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Omaha as the Royals tweaked their 40-man roster.

The Royals added outfielder Lane Adams, right-hander Michael Mariot and infielders Christian Colon and Cheslor Cuthbert to the roster. In corresponding moves, left-hander Noel Arguelles and infielder Irving Falu were designated for assignment.

Chiefs look into slow starts

Joe Mahoney/AP Photo

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS QUARTERBACK ALEX SMITH (11) WALKS OFF THE FIELD after turning the ball over on downs against the Denver Broncos in the second quarter, Sunday in Denver.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — It had to be a painful experience for Chiefs coach Andy Reid, someone who prides himself on being an offensive innovator, to relive the first quarter of last Sunday’s game in Denver.

The first 19 plays included a false start penalty, a fumble in the red zone, another fumble on a snap, a dropped pass, a sack and a three-and-out.

When it comes to lousy execution, that about covers it.

It was the latest and most glaring evidence of a troubling trend in which the Chiefs offense struggles to get out of the gates.

They’ve scored just one offensive touchdown in the first half of their last three games while punting seven times over the same span.

“We’re not starting fast enough right now,” Reid said. “I’m going to work on that part and make sure I do a better job of getting the guys an opportunity.

But during those first 19 plays, now those are some things that we need to get corrected.”

The Chiefs, who host the Chargers on Sunday, actually punted on their first three possessions against the Broncos, and then had another series scuttled by the halftime whistle. They also had to punt on their first three possessions in their previous game against Buffalo.

The result both times was a halftime deficit.

Kansas City managed to overcome it against the Bills with a dominant second half, led by its defense.

But it couldn’t do the same against a much more talented team in the Broncos, who built on their advantage en route to a 27-17 victory and share of the AFC West lead.

It was the seventh time in 10 games that Kansas City had managed one offensive touchdown or fewer in the first half of a game. Three times the

Chiefs haven’t scored any.

The last time they scored a touchdown on their first series? Against the Cowboys on Sept. 15.

Since then, the Chiefs have had to punt on their first offensive series in every game except a win over the Browns, when they settled for field goals on their first two possessions.

“I think the biggest thing is getting into a rhythm,” quarterback Alex Smith said, “moving some chains, getting consecutive plays ran, getting into the flow of the game, changing field position at a minimum. I think that’s where it starts.”

The Broncos took advantage of prime field position to jump out to a 10-point lead on Sunday.

“When you change some field position and get some first downs, that carries into, ‘Let’s get into field-goal range. Let’s get into the red zone. Let’s score a touchdown,’” Smith said.

KANSAS COACH CHARLIE WEIS WATCHES his team warm up for Baylor on Oct. 26 at Memorial Stadium.

Sideline, not box, suits Weis best As the season slipped by and his offense continued to encounter road blocks, Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis did everything he could think of to try to find a spark.

“We’ve won up here before,” Bechard said before leaving Ames. “But we’ve never been in the top two in the Big 12. That is very important to us. We’ve still got work to do, but that would’ve been next to impossible if we didn’t get it done here tonight.”

Added libero Bri Riley: “We were just so confident out there. We knew what was at stake tonight.”

Wednesday’s victory was the result of a fast start for the Jayhawks, who jumped out to big leads in the first two sets and took a commanding 2-0 lead into the break, needing just one victory in the final three sets to get out of Hilton Coliseum with the win.

“You come in here and they want to get things going and we just had them on their heels early on,” Bechard said.

The early momentum carried the Jayhawks through the first two sets but the mandatory break between the second and third sets allowed Iowa State to settle down.

The Jayhawks said Wednesday was one of those nights when the break in the action actually hurt. Back in the locker room the Jayhawks did not feel the need to change anything.

“We just wanted to stay out there,” Bechard said.

Added Riley: “Even when they would call timeouts, we were like, ‘No, we want to finish.’”

The Cyclones (17-7, 10-3) controlled the third set and jumped out to an 7-3 lead in the fourth. But, after trailing 15-14 midway through the final set, KU closed the door with an 11-5 run.

“Strong finish in the fourth, that’s for sure,” Bechard said.

Several Jayhawks played lights-out volleyball during the 3-1 victory over the Cyclones, but one statistic caught Bechard’s eye more than any other. The Jayhawks entered Wednesday ranked last in the Big 12 in aces per set but ripped off nine Wednesday night, each one packing an extra dose of momentum as it hit the floor.

Senior Caroline Jarmoc recorded a career-high four aces, senior defensive specialist Jaime Mathieu tied her career-high with two and McNorton, Riley and Amy Wehrs each added one.

Chelsea Albers (14 kills), Jarmoc (7), Catherine Carmichael (7), Tayler Soucie (5) and Tiana Dockery (5) led KU’s offensive attack and each played a big part in keeping the Cyclones from dictating the tempo.

“I don’t think they ever really got into their rhythm,” McNorton said of the Cyclones. “Tonight was a great way to head into Senior Day (1 p.m. Saturday) and the stretch run of the season.”

Key’s words. I think that would be more appropriate.”

O Towson up next: KU (3-0) will next meet (3-1) Towson (Md.) at 7 p.m., Friday, in Allen Fieldhouse. Towson has won at home against Navy (7245), Morgan State (95-75) and Temple (75-69) and lost at Villanova (78-44).

The Tigers are led by Pat Skerry, who is 22-45 in three years at the Colonial Athletic Association school.

Jerrelle Benimon, a 6-8 senior forward from Warrenton, Va., leads Towson in scoring (17.5 ppg) and rebounding (11.8). He also has a teamhigh 13 assists and seven blocks. Rafriel Guthrie, a 6-3 senior from Washington, D.C., averages 11.3 ppg, and Marcus Damas, a 6-7 senior from Bay Shore, N.Y., 10.8 ppg.

KU freshman Frank Mason committed to Towson his senior year of high school, but did not qualify academically at that time.

O Proud papa: Joel Embiid’s dad, Thomas, who attended KU’s win over Iona on Tuesday night, attended practice Wednesday. Joel scored 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds versus the Gaels while playing in front of his dad for the first time.

“What a nice man. You can see w h e r e Joel gets it,” Self said. “This would be like you or me not growing up play- Embiid ing cricket and trying to figure out how it works and your son is out there playing and people are cheering for him ... it has to be a pretty cool feeling.

He was bouncing around pretty good today. It was nice to see.”

Thomas Embiid is a member of the Cameroon military. “He’s a colonel,” Self said. “I think Joel behaves when he’s back home. When the colonel speaks, I think Joel does (listen). It was pretty cool to see them together.”

“

Jo is so advanced from a skill standpoint ... ” — Kansas University coach Bill Self on freshman Joel Embiid first arriving at KU — Russia’s Sasha Kaun or Cameroon’s Embiid.

“I love Sasha but it’s not close,” Self said, giving the nod to Embiid. “Sasha is obviously stronger and more aggressive in some ways.

“If we ever let Sasha shoot a three-pointer it’d be the same result as Joel’s (miss versus Duke),” he added with a laugh.

“Jo is so advanced from a skill standpoint where Sasha is more advanced from a physicality standpoint.”

O Smith honored: Former KU player and assistant coach Dean Smith was one of 16 individuals awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom Wednesday. The honor dates to an executive order from President John F. Kennedy establishing the award.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the country’s highest civilian honor.

According to the White House, this award is given to individuals, “who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.”

Smith competed at Kansas from 1949-53 and was a part of the Jayhawks’ national championship team in 1952. Smith and the Jayhawks were national runners-up in 1953.

After graduation, Smith served as an assistant coach at KU under Phog Allen for the 1953-54 season. Smith then went on to coach North Carolina basketball from 1961-97, winning two national championships.

Former KU and current North Carolina coach Roy Williams attended the ceremony.

O Overrated?: Iona’s Sean Armand, who scored 14 points off 5-of-15 shooting in the Gaels’ 86-66 loss to KU, tweeted this on Tuesday: “Of course this kid is the headline on espn.

Overrated.” He didn’t say for sure, but apparently was referring to Andrew Wiggins, who scored 13 in the win.

And it never hurts to have someone who had every reason to give up on football “several” surgeries ago, but didn’t. Why did he stick it out?

“I think we have a whole lot of really good characters on this team,” Spencer said. “People who are really smart, people who are really car-

Kansas’ Chelsea Gardner double-doubled with 10 points and 13 rebounds in the loss, and Asia Boyd added 13 points.’

Minnesota had two 20-point scorers in Rachel Banham (26) and Micaella Riche (20).

ROUNDUP

Wichita State turns back Tulsa No. 21 Iowa St. 90, BYU 88 PROVO, UTAH — Melvin Ejim and DeAndre Kane each scored 21 points, leading Iowa State to a come-from-behind win over Brigham Young.

Kane, before being ejected for a flagrant 2 foul with 3:28 remaining, had a team-high 11 rebounds for the Cyclones. Georges Niang added 19 points, eight assists and five rebounds for Iowa State.

Iowa State (4-0) took the lead for good with six minutes remaining on a three-pointer by Matt Thomas. The Cyclones stayed in front with three clutch baskets down the stretch by Niang.

The Cougars, who led for more than 26 straight minutes, got 20 points from Tyler Haws and 19 points and seven assists from Matt Carlino. Freshman Eric Mika scored 17 points and pulled down nine boards.

The Associated Press

Top 25 No. 14 Wichita St. 77, Tulsa 54 TULSA, OKLA. — Tied at halftime with winless Tulsa, 14th-ranked Wichita State walked off the court to chants of “overrated!”

Following an early season pattern, the Shockers found the offensive rhythm necessary to validate their ranking in the second half.

Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker each scored 21 points, and Wichita State finished with a 26-6 run to shake free of pesky Tulsa on Wednesday night in its first road game of the season.

The Shockers shot 53.6 percent from the field in the second half after hitting just 35.7 percent in a first half that ended 31-all.

“We want to change that and play the first half the way that we are playing the second half,” VanVleet said. “We know that our ranking can be a shot of energy for the other team at the start of the game. But we know that we can grind on the other team for a while and then we will bust it open.”

Leading 51-48 after an inside basket by Tulsa’s James Woodard, Wichita State scored the next eight points to force a Golden Hurricane timeout with 8:35 left.

Wichita State (5-0) has outscored its opponents by a combined 71 points in the second half the past four games. Tulsa (03) was 13 for 30 from the free throw line. In its two home games this season, Tulsa is 30 for 66 from the line.

“We simply have to step up to the line and make shots,” Tulsa head coach Danny Manning said. “We’re disappointed and upset that we lost this game. We got beat. There are no moral victories. We have to get better and we have to battle in the second half the way we did in the first half tonight.”

Tulsa pulled to 10 points on a 3-pointer by Pat Swilling with 5:39 to play, but VanVleet and Baker took over the game from there.

VanVleet notched a threepointer on Wichita State’s next possession and Baker capped off the Shockers’ next two trips down the court with a jumper and a 3-pointer to boost Wichita State’s advantage to 71-53 with 3:26 remaining.

Baker scored 12 of his 21 points after intermission to pace the Shockers’ second-half attack. Overall, he also hit 5 of his 7 attempts from three-point range.

WICHITA’S FRED VANVLEET, TOP, DRIVES AGAINST Tulsa’s Rashad Ray and Pat Swilling (2) on Wednesday night in Tulsa, Okla.

“There were only three of us on the team who came down here two years ago and knew this was a very tough place to play,” Baker said. “Down the stretch, we defended and made the shots we needed to make to win the game.”

Swilling finished with 12 points, Tulsa’s only scorer in double-digits.

Neither team could establish any kind of dominance in a first half that ended tied 31-all. Wichita State looked as if it would carry some momentum into the locker room when a pair of steals with under a minute left resulted in baskets by Evan Wessel and VanVleet to give the Shockers a 31-29 edge.

No. 8 Ohio St. 63, American U. 52 COLUMBUS, OHIO — Amir Williams scored a careerhigh 16 points and Shannon Scott added 13 to lead Ohio State.

The Buckeyes (4-0) struggled all night to make shots, finishing 20 of 56 from the field for 36 percent.

Scott tied a career best with nine rebounds.

Jesse Reed scored 15 points, Tony Wroblicky had 14 and Darius Gardner 10 for the Eagles (1-2).

The Buckeyes were coming off an impressive 52-35 win over No. 17 Marquette in Milwaukee on Saturday. The 35 points were the fewest the Buckeyes have ever allowed against a ranked opponent.

Up by five points at the break Wednesday despite having difficulty making shots, the Buckeyes stepped it up in the second half. Scott got things going with a steal and a layup in the opening seconds.

Then Scott came off a pick by Williams and tossed an alley-oop pass back to Williams for a dunk to start a 5-0 run that pushed the lead to 10 points for the first time.

Lenzelle Smith Jr., starting his 79th consecutive game, hit a foul shot before Williams made a lefthanded hook for a 37-27 advantage.

The Eagles got it down to six points but Williams

scored and then missed the accompanying free throw, and Craft popped in the follow.

The loudest roar of the night might have taken place when Scott stole the ball and then fed Sam Thompson for a high-flying dunk at the 12:51 mark.

But not until Smith hit a three with 3:22 left was it clear the Buckeyes were in command. That was part of a 9-0 run that pushed the lead to 16.

Ohio State improved to 19-3 against teams from the Patriot League.

Big 12 Men No. 20 Baylor 69, Charleston Southern 64 WACO, TEXAS — Cory Jefferson had 16 points and 11 rebounds for his third double-double already this season, and Isaiah Austin also scored 16 points as Baylor beat Charleston Southern.

After Baylor (4-0) had a four-minute scoring drought in the second half, allowing the Buccaneers to close to four points, Gary Franklin made a three-pointer with five minutes left. Then the 7-foot-1 Austin had another of his seven blocked shots, leading to Franklin driving the baseline for a layup that made it 64-55.

Jefferson added a jumper with 3:57 left that pushed the lead to 66-55, and Baylor was still up by 10 when Austin made a free throw with two minutes left.

But Charleston Southern wasn’t done.

Arlon Harper had a layup before a turnover

by Austin, then Will Saunders made two free throws. The Buccaneers forced another turnover before Saunders hit a three-pointer that made it 67-64 in the final minute.

OSU’s Smart adds outside shooting to repertoire STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — When Marcus Smart explained his decision to bypass the NBA Draft last spring, his primary talking point was about making amends for Oklahoma State’s early exit from last season’s NCAA Tournament.

It turns out the decision wasn’t purely selfless.

While Smart wanted desperately to help the No. 7 Cowboys atone for that loss to Oregon, he was also focused on improving his own game — specifically, his outside shooting.

The results of that offseason of hard work were on full display for the entire country Tuesday night, with the preseason All-American scoring a career-high 39 points in leading Oklahoma State (4-0) to a 101-80 dismantling of No. 11 Memphis.

The lightning-quick Smart — known primarily as a penetrator last season — set another career best in the win, hitting 5 of 10 three-pointers and igniting the Gallagher-Iba

Arena crowd with his allaround effort.

“I knew it would happen eventually,” Oklahoma State junior Brian Williams said. “He had a couple of good games, but we knew a breakout game was coming soon, and he had one (Tuesday). He shot the ball with confidence, and he found us when he could.”

Smart had no problems with his quantity of shots as a freshman last season, but his quality was lacking at times.

The 6-foot-4 guard shot just 40.4 percent from the field on his way to being named the national Freshman of the Year, a number that dipped to 29 percent on three-pointers. After Tuesday’s performance, he’s shooting 45.1 percent (23 of 51) overall this season and 38.5 percent (10 of 26) on 3-pointers.

“That’s one of the reasons I stayed was to keep going and work on my game from the arc, increase my shooting percentage so guys play me

honest,” Smart said. “They have to respect my jump shot and my drive, so it will make it easier for me to get into the lane a lot more and find my teammates.”

Smart’s new-found prowess from behind the three-point line was at its best early in the first half when he scored 24 of the Cowboys’ first 29 points — including 12 straight points at one point on three three-pointers and a trio of free throws after being fouled on a threepoint attempt.

The fun didn’t stop in the second half after Oklahoma State went up by as many as 34 points.

After his final threepointer of night, a shot that came in transition and put the Cowboys up 64-43, Smart glanced in the direction of the courtside seats. He was looking for Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant, Brody Schmidt/AP Photo who was in attendance.

“I just wanted to see OKLAHOMA STATE GUARD MARCUS SMART reacts after drawing a foul against if he was enjoying the Memphis. Smart scored 39 points in the OSU victory Tuesday night in Stillwater, Okla. show,” Smart said.

Sparse film documents JFK primary What were the Kennedys really like? You’re not going to get a more unadorned look at them, or their times, than in “Primary” (7 p.m., TCM). This 1960 documentary about that year’s Wisconsin primary battle between Sens. John F. Kennedy and Hubert H. Humphrey was shot in a revolutionary style known as Direct Cinema or Cinema Verite. Employing newly developed portable cameras and sound equipment, filmmakers Robert Drew, Richard Leacock, Albert Maysles and D.A. Pennebaker were able to follow the candidates, their entourages and their families, as well as voters, in a relatively unobtrusive manner, gaining remarkable intimacy and immediacy. ‘‘Primary” could not be more bare bones. But art emerges from its insistent minimalism. Cameras follow shoes as primary voters cast their ballots. We see Humphrey before farmers and mechanics and eavesdrop on his frustrations while going from one campaign stop to another accompanied only by a driver. The Kennedy campaign is better funded, and the candidate’s wife stands out glamorously amid farmers’ wives. But even the millionaire Kennedys are rather low-key by contemporary standards.

In fact, “Primary” offers a remarkable window on the world of 1960, a time of cloth coats, men in hats and women wearing kerchiefs and scarves. People seem plainer, unburdened by the material wealth and physical corpulence that passes for “normal” in 2013. ‘‘Primary” collaborator Albert Maysles went on to work with his brother, David, on similarly intimate works, chronicling bible salesmen in “Salesman” (1968) and The Rolling Stones in “Gimme Shelter” (1970). Their disturbing masterpiece, “Grey Gardens” (1976), captured the decaying mansion and unraveling minds of two East Hampton socialites who happened to be relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy.

Mike’s parents (Candice Bergen and Charles Grodin) descend for the holidays on “The Michael J. Fox Show” (8:30 p.m., NBC).

neglects to do so. Also mention your concerns to her husband and children.

Dear Annie: A year ago, my husband, who is very financially savvy, set up an investment account for his 2-year-old niece. We thought this would be a nice way for us to recognize birthdays, holidays and special events. Our plan was to make small investments into this account for her in the years to come.

Soon after the parents received the information on the account, they cashed it out and reinvested it in a different type of account. They offered to share the details with us so we could invest for their daughter.

Annie, what would have been a fun way for us to honor her is no longer of interest to us. We will of course still send gifts to the child, but we feel the parents’ action

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Nov. 21 This year, you will be serious and determined about your direction and the choices you make. You draw people from various walks of life toward you. If you are single, you could meet several different people. If you are attached, the two of you will enjoy each other so much that you won’t need anyone else to have a party.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You will feel as if you are on an emotional seesaw. You could be feeling a lot about someone close. You might be weighing the pros and cons of a change involving property and perhaps family.

Tonight: Stay centered.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Do not stand on ceremony. You might want to make a call or reach out to someone who has become distant. Tonight: Get together with a friend.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You’ll want to indulge others as well as yourself. You can’t seem to decide what would be more fun and memorable. Tonight: Go with the flow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might sense a change in others. What has been held back in the past, or perhaps even today, could become a fiery issue. Tonight: Make an important phone call.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Take your time right now, and be slightly less accountable.

You are full of enthusiasm for a new friendship. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

QUIET TIME By Tim Burr

was extremely tacky.

What do you think? — Boston Aunt Dear Boston: We understand why you have lost your enthusiasm, and we agree that the parents should have been grateful and left things alone. But it might assuage your annoyance to look at it another way: If you had purchased the child an outfit and the parents had exchanged it for something they preferred, would you be as upset? Probably not.

The account was a gift, meaning she could do with it what she wished.

It was still a thoughtful present from you and undoubtedly appreciated. If the goal is to provide the niece with a college fund, it really doesn’t matter which account receives the funds. ACROSS — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Keep your eye on the big picture, and proceed in the direction you want to head in. You might feel as if you can’t handle a personal matter. Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Listen to news that is forthcoming. You might want to assume a less-prominent position in a project once you hear it. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If you are questioning what to do, detach. Allow your feelings and instincts to guide you, as they are likely to lead you in the right direction. Tonight: Touch base with someone at a distance.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Someone close to you will demand the stage. You might as well retreat rather than fight for the podium. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will see a situation differently from how the majority of people around you see it. As a result, you might proceed as you wish and not bother to explain why.

Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Focus on completing your work or errands. You will want to be free and relaxed for the coming weekend. Tonight: Get ready for a hot tango.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) If you are honest with yourself, your mind seems to be everywhere all at once. Your selfdiscipline seems to be on vacation.

Tonight: Keep it light.

Dear Annie: Over the past 10 years, I have noticed that my sister’s memory has become very confused. She often has false memories, believing something that happened to a friend or celebrity actually happened to her. She also says hurtful things and doesn’t remember saying them.

Recently, she said something that really hurt my feelings, and I decided to talk to her about it and clear the air.

However, when I mentioned it, she became terribly agitated and insisted she would never say any such thing.

I love my sister and don’t want to upset her, but this really bothers me. She has mentioned that her friends joke about her memory, and she doesn’t like it. But I’m surprised that her children and husband are not aware of the problem. Should I just

LETâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GO SHOPPING

C

an you believe Black Friday is right around the corner? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re anything like me, you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started the daunting task that is holiday shopping (aside from that small jar of fresh jam you bought your mom at Louisburg Cider Mill ... Mom, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading, act surprised).

And what do you buy for each person on your list?

Their interests are as varied as their lifestyles. Well, folks, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here to tell you: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fret! Mass. Street has a plethora of options for everyone on your list. In fact, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to review some top shops to hit when considering a few gift categories: confections, stocking stuffers and clothing.

First, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk confections. Perfect to present to holiday party hosts or in-laws when visiting, a chic package of chocolates or freshly made cupcakes is sure to hit the spot.

A few places to keep in mind on Mass. Street: Mass Street Sweet Shoppe and Billy Vanilly. Mass Street Sweet Shoppe offers candy, chocolate-covered sweets, cakes, pies and more. Billy Vanilly specializes in cupcakes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in a variety of flavors and sizes.

While carefully wrapped confections can serve as stocking stuffers, sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to find non-edible items (in case the dog accidentally gets to it first). Plenty of local shops have worthwhile stocking-stuffer sized items that are perfect for gifting. I would suggest Hobbs and Bloom Bath and Body, to start. Hobbs is always stocked with silly trinkets and funky gadgets, while Bloom is known for its smaller lotions, soaps, fragrances and candles.

As for larger gift items, when in doubt go for Rock Chalk gear! That, or set your loved one up in style with some new attire. Fortunately, there are multiple downtown stores stocked with KU gear, so you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have trouble there. The mister prefers Jockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nitch for KU everything (they have more than just clothes, too). For non-KU items, hit up our

Jessica Pauly/Special to the Journal-World

Downtown Lawrence has no shortage of holiday shopping hot spots, such as Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St.

local department store, Weaverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which has classic selections for both men and women.

While this is merely a taste of what downtown Lawrence has to offer, I hope itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpful in considering a few options for holiday shopping. A few other not-to-miss spots (although not at all exhaustive): The Raven (books), Made (unique items), Love Garden (tunes), Goldmakers (jewelry), Sunflower Bike Shop (outdoor gear), Blue Dandelion (baby items), etc. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong on Mass. Street!

Happy shopping, and happy holidays! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jessica Pauly, aka Mrs. Mass., gives her thoughts on shopping, urban living and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new in Lawrence in CheckOut weekly and on her blog, mrsmass.com.

ASHES IN YOUR GARDEN?

B

ioChar what? Traditionally, the recommendation is NOT to put wood ashes in the garden. Ashes have minimal nutrient value, no nitrogen and only small amounts of phosphorus and potassium, which in our soils we do not need. They are very alkaline and may benefit compost piles if used sparingly.

So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the deal with this new burnt wood thing called BioChar? First glance tells us itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just ashes. No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than that, and for better reasons.

A thousand-plus years ago, pre-Columbian inhabitants of South America were making their otherwise relatively infertile Amazonian soil very viable. This soil, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terra Preta de Indioâ&#x20AC;? (black earth of the Indian), is rich in carbon, organic material and very stable, making it ideal for crops.

The key is the carbon in the form of what we commonly call charcoal or, if used as a soil amendment, BioChar.

BioChar is basically organic material (wood, nut hulls, manure) that has burnt incompletely or been heated to a temperature to drive off all the gasses (hydrogen, oxygen, methane) its contents contained. This process is called pyrolysis. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left is a black, hard, flakey, inert, carbon particle with a large surface area and microscopic open pore space to hold nutrients, moisture, microbes, fungi and air. All these things support biologi-

cal growth, and the stuff lasts for, as was discovered, thousands of years.

We have seen and done this many times as we doused the campfire with water or covered the smoker to shut it down and were left with hunks of these black, crumbly things.

BioChar is produced in a slow, lowheat, oxygen-starved burn. Part of the material is burned to produce the heat to break down the rest of the material. The heat can be used, and in sophisticated systems, the released gases are collected. The resulting material is free of the gases but retains its carbon. This carbon sequestration makes this a carbon-negative process.

It is not a silver bullet to solve our greenhouse gas emission issue but certainly moves us in the right direction.

ture Research and Education) are being used to test this process here in Douglas County.

Initial results were inconclusive because the grasshoppers ate the crop. Methods of small farm BioChar production were, however, successfully developed and methods of application and combinations with other materials and nutrients investigated. The growers involved will try again. In other research-based tests, combining this BioChar with new organic material and/or nutrients is showing positive results. Studies are also underway to evaluate what material makes the best BioChar. This product is also being developed for commercial use.

As home gardeners, we can possibly benefit from these findings by making our

own. The fireplace ashes can be screened for the large particles remaining; in an airtight stove we can close all the dampers toward the end of the burn, or possibly dedicate an old grill to first having a strong, hot fire of wood, leaves, etc., and then closing off all air intakes, allowing it to cool on its own. One note of caution to our enthusiasm: Many tests show that it could take years for noticeable results.

THANKSGIVING BOOK

T

hanksgiving is always a traveling holiday for our family. Sweet Husband works in retail, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually his only chance to slip away before the holiday rush. Plus, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just something nice about heading home for a few days and letting our parents feed us. We tend to celebrate Christmas with our own little family of three, but Thanksgiving is a feast of all.

The only thing I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love about going â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? for Thanksgiving is that it makes it hard to have traditions of our own.

While being a perpetual guest is wonderful, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never felt right to me to insist on certain rituals when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the one putting on the show.

Except that we do have one tradition that travels with us each year: our Thanksgiving Book.

I started it the year Sweet Husband and I were married. Covered in autumn-y orange, our Thanksgiving Book began life as a blank journal. I think Sweet Husband picked it out at Borders, but Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St., and The Raven, 8 E. Seventh St., both have similar blank notebooks.

Each year, wherever we go for Thanksgiving and whomever weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with, everyone gets asked to write one thing theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thankful for in our Thanksgiving Book.

The responses have been quite fun.

The first year, my aunt wrote that she was thankful she was not a turkey. For several years running, my father-in-law â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who likes to get my goat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has professed

that he is thankful for â&#x20AC;&#x153;air.â&#x20AC;? Several family members have been happy about various sports team victories. And the year we took the book to an after-dinner meetup with high school friends, practically everyone was thankful for beer.

We always get more touching entries, too. My quiet uncleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short, sweet gratitude for his children and grandchildren always warms my heart, as do the hand-turkeys

Once the book was retrieved, she plunked down in the middle of an armchair and read funny entries from previous years aloud.

While, of course, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force anyone to write in our Thanksgiving Book, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found that the best way to get adults to join in is to give the task of asking to a child.

People are much less likely to refuse when a cute, small person is wanting them to do something. Plus it gives the kids a productive activity while dinner is cooking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a double win!

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Meryl Carver-Allmond/Special to the Journal-World starting a new family this year, or just grateful for the one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve my little niece would draw before she learned to write. And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even need to got, a Thanksgiving Book is a wonderful, read the words written by my grandmother portable tradition that I hope will continue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her perfect cursive penmanship evokes in our family for many years to come. memories all on its own.

Avoid having to camp out on Thanksgiving by shopping local.

f large, determined hoards of people ready to take down their friendly neighbors for a 70-inch flat-screen TV is not where you see yourself after (or on) a day of giving thanks, there are locally owned stores to get fun family-friendly holiday shopping done early without the hoards of shoppers.

Waxman Candles, 609 Massachusetts St., offers a winter wonderland experience built entirely from melted and molded wax. A 43-year-old business owned by candle-making extraordinaire Bob Werts, the store is chock full of gifts to light up the holidays.

For family members who live for seasonal decor, assortments of candles shaped like Christmas trees, Mr. and Mrs. Claus faces, Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer and gingerbread houses line the shelves in the front of the store in various sizes. The melting snowman (2x6, $17) is one of the most popular items this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either the Santa Farts or those are an instant giggle when people walk in,â&#x20AC;? says sales clerk Paige Opliger.

Your eyes are not deceiving you. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Santa Fartsâ&#x20AC;? collection are a 15-yearold Waxman tradition, a town favorite and completely serendipitous creation.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone special ordered a fragrance mix of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sexyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cinnamonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to pick them up,â&#x20AC;? Opliger says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to sell those candles, so we slapped the label â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Santa Fartsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on them and put them out. People still come in and ask for them.â&#x20AC;?

Not only does avoiding shopping crowds amp the appeal, but Waxman shoppers can also special order any shape or any of the 110 fragrances, and then watch them carved and molded in the instore shop. Werts gives tours of the shop to groups of 10 to 15 people at a time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are currently working on a silhouette of the characters in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wizard of Oz,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; along with the yellow-brick road,â&#x20AC;? Opliger says of the most recent request.

A proud Kansas section, complete with its own â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fragrance, is arranged by an array of Kansas University candles for those without enough Jayhawk paraphernalia.

Look carefully for the wick, as the items that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t candle accessories are, in fact, candles. Enjoy the whimsical charm and festive peppermint fragrance and bring positive, soothing energy into someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home this year for the holidays.

M.STREET INTERIORS, 825 MASSACHUSETTS ST.

For those who have held out, the day following Thanksgiving is the day itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to douse the house in holiday cheer. The business formally known as BIAO, or beautiful inside and out, M.Street Interiors has the goods to adorn any home for the season.

Furniture sets and ornate Christmas trees and wreaths are some of its more grand offerings near the front entrance, but wander throughout the Mass. Street shop and stumble upon more traditional Christmas items, like a five-piece nativity scene ($283.95) or a set of two holiday carolers ($125.95). A tall, detailed nutcracker ($54.95) and Santa figurine ($76.95) make for festive decor to deck any hall (or living space).

If small children are accustomed to running around your house, you might take a look at the plush items sprinkled throughout the store in the forms of Santa, reindeer and elves. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Features reporter Nadia Imafidon can be reached at nimafidon@ljworld.com and 832-6342.

WINTER OUTFITTERS

fter the shock of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real winter chill, we began to hunt for key winter pieces so we can be better prepared for the next round of arctic temperatures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all while keeping our style in check, of course.

Out of all the retailers along Mass Street, we found ourselves in Sharkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Surf Shop.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the name fool you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they are fully stocked with winter-weather clothing, shoes and accessories that will keep you both warm and stylish this winter season. Their sweater assortment blew us away with the variety of prints and styles. Their boots section also caught our eye with new styles by TOMS and Frye. Both brands continue to create stylish cold weather gear with an outdoorsy feel.

Sleek leather riding boots, especially the Frye boots we found from Sharkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, are definitely worth the splurge. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat their quality and their sophisticated look. The leather is beyond gorgeous, but best of all, these boots will last you many years. Thanks to their timeless style, you will get a lot of mileage out of them, allowing you to wear them for future winter seasons. The TOMS selection at Sharkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is also a win. We love the new look of the brandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boots with a slightly slouchy fit, mixed material and tribal patterns. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice update to the famous TOMS slip-ons. We envision pairing these beauties with leggings and tights styled with oversized sweaters and dresses.

Once we moved past the assortment of stylish boots and shoes, we went on to search for warm, wintery finds in their clothing section. We were in chunky sweater heaven when we came across their sweater assortment. They have everything, from turtleneck sweaters to open-front, tribal-printed cardigans. There were also some dresses in between, which would be great layered underneath your sweaters and cardigans. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really intrigued by the turtleneck knits this season because they are making a more polished comeback. The

Either way, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fans of them paired with skinny jeans and boots; or, if they are a true oversized tunic style, we suggest styling them over leggings and riding boots.

Next time you are down on Mass Street looking for pieces to build your winter wardrobe, check out Sharkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Surf Shop for a variety of winter essentials, unique styles and quality brands in a cool boutique atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Emily and Elizabeth Kennedy are twin sisters and fashion bloggers who share a blog called Fashion Column Twins.

NAILING A TOUGH JOB

oncrete is hard. Anchoring something into concrete is even harder.

Fortunately, there are plenty of options available that are easy to use.

Step 1: Start with a hammer drill and a percussion masonry bit. Regular masonry bits can be used on soft masonry materials, but for older, hardened materials, a hammer drill will save time and effort.

Step 2: Follow the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions whenever possible. Anchors are not created equal and certain ones have nuisances that can only be discovered by perusing the literature that accompanies it.

Step 3: To function properly, masonry anchors and screws require specifically sized predrilled holes. Drilling a hole slightly deeper than needed is a good idea if concrete dust from the drilling process cannot be removed from inside the hole. Confirm the correct drill-bit size for proper installation

before using any masonry products.

Step 4: Most masonry anchors are held in place by pressure exerted against the walls of the pilot hole. Install anchors near the edge of the concrete or stone a minimum distance five times the diameter of the pilot hole. Space anchors apart from each other a minimum distance 10 times the diameter of the pilot hole.

Step 5: Metal anchors are preferred for most applications, but for small nonload-bearing projects, plastic, nail-in or drop-in concrete anchors can be used.

Step 6: Two-piece lag shields or drop-in lead anchors can be used for heavier applications. Long lag shields, used with appropriately sized lag screws, are designed for newer or softer concrete. Shorter lag shields are designed for older, harder concrete.

Step 7: One-piece wedge anchors or sleeve anchors are the best choice for attaching load

bearing objects, such as stud walls or support brackets. The variety of choices available makes it easy to find one that will work for most any application.

Step 8: Concrete screws, often referred to as Tap-Con screws, per their original manufactureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, are one of the simpler masonry products to use. These hardened, self-tapping blue screws drill directly into the pilot hole for one step installation. Product diameters are extremely specific and vary slightly from manufacture to manufacture.

Use drill bits and screws manufactured by the same company to assure optimal gripping strength. Drill the pilot hole at least one half inch deeper than the length of the screw. Use a ratchet or screw driver to drive the screws into place. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda Cottin can be reached at checkout@ljworld.com.
