Fiscal cliff has many on edge

‘You never know when you’ll entertain angels unawares’— Hebrews 13:2

——

Federal funding affects myriad local services

LAST WEEK, ROB ROBINSON, LEFT, donated one of his kidneys to Gillan Alexander at Kansas University Hospital. The men became friends five years ago after Robinson, of Starkville, Miss., started hunting turkeys on Alexander’s farm near Nicodemus.

Unknown hunter from afar becomes Kansan’s friend, lifesaver through kidney transplant

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

As Gillan Alexander sat in his northwestern Kansas farmhouse about a year ago and thought about the man from Mississippi sleeping in a tent outside, a verse from the Bible came to his mind.

It was Hebrews 13:2, and in his recollection it goes something like this: “Be careful in your treatment of strangers. You never know when you’ll

entertain angels unawares.”

After his black Labrador, Tug, tore up that man’s tent because he smelled some bread inside, Alexander invited him inside his house.

He’d met the man, one of several he welcomes to his property to come hunt from time to time, about four years before.

His name was Rob Robinson. He was a firefighter from outside of Starkville, Miss.

Last Thursday at Kansas University Hospital, the two bumped fists as Robinson sat next to Alexander’s hospital bed.

The man from Mississippi was getting ready to check out and head home, three days after he gave Alexander a kidney. !"!"!

It was five years ago when Rob Robinson first knocked on Gillan Alexander’s door in Nicodemus, about 50 miles

northwest of Hays.

He’d driven the 1,000 or so miles from his Mississippi home in pursuit of the Rio Grande turkey, one of four species hunters must bag to achieve a feat the National Wild Turkey Federation calls a Grand Slam.

“Your love and your passion can take you wherever,” Robinson said Thursday.

Robinson’s passion is hunting. When he came to Alexander’s farm, he’d recently taken up tur-

key hunting after years of chasing deer. His job as a firefighter provided him a healthy amount of time off, allowing for the lengthy trips required to chase a Grand Slam.

A friend of Robinson’s in Olathe, whom he’d met through his sister who also lives there, took him to the area around Alexander’s farm, saying it was a good spot to find a Rio Grande.

Question: What does an elderly person on Medicare seeking treatment at Lawrence Memorial Hospital have in common with a thirdgrader at New York School, a young mother receiving prenatal care at Heartland Community Health Center and a neighborhood group trying to fix a broken sidewalk?

Answer: All of them directly benefit from streams of federal money that come to Lawrence through a wide range of federal programs.

And all of them have a direct stake in the budget battles now being waged in Washington over what’s being called the “fiscal cliff.”

“Fiscal cliff” is the media term often used to describe a combination of large spending cuts and tax increases that will automatically take effect after the first of the year — unless there’s a deal to reduce the federal budget deficit by $1.2 trillion over 10 years. Officially, it’s called “sequestration,” and it includes an estimated $55 billion a year in cuts to domestic programs that fund education, health care and other social services.

But while local officials are studying spreadsheets and trying to estimate the impact those cuts could have on local services, most say there’s not much they can do Please see FISCAL, page 2A

KU, Harvard researchers team up on Alzheimer’s project

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

Chris Gamblin, a molecular bioscientist at Kansas University, studies proteins involved in Alzheimer’s disease in test tubes.

Mel Feany, a pathologist at Harvard Medical School, models Alzheimer’s in the brains of fruit flies.

So when Feany spoke at

KU last year, an idea to join forces was born.

Now, with the help of a $1.7 million N a t i o n a l Gamblin Institutes of Health grant, they’re combining their expertise in hopes of pointing the way to revo-

cells. It’s one of two proteins chiefly associated with Alzheimer’s. (The other, beta amyloid, forms plaques outside of sufferers’ brain cells and tends to draw more attention from researchers and drug companies, Gamblin said.)

In the brain cells of people with Alzheimer’s, tau folds into “tangles” and accumulates. But,

Gamblin said, researchers disagree about what exactly the tau does that eventually causes those cells to die: Is the problem that the tau doesn’t perform its normal job, providing support for structures called microtubules? Or is the accumulation of the tau tangles damaging the cell or impeding other pro-

cesses?

The answers to such questions could point the way toward treatments that would actually fight what’s happening in the brains of Alzheimer’s sufferers — something that’s not yet been done.

Social media aid grieving process for student PRAIRIE VILLAGE (AP) — Former students from a suburban Kansas City high school have been paying tribute across the country to a 17-year-old soccer star who died in a recent accident.

On college campuses nationwide, Shawnee Mission East graduates have been wearing light blue and taking to social media to honor Tyler Rathbun, a senior at the school who died Nov. 25 in a crash on an all-terrain vehicle in Miami County, The Kansas City Star reported.

The next day, Kansas State University freshman Logan Rose organized a quick photo on campus, thinking Tyler’s family might appreciate the gesture. Things grew

immediately to prepare for them.

“Honestly, you ask the question, are we thinking a lot about it? We’re really not,” Lawrence public schools Superintendent Rick Doll said.

Overall, the Lawrence school district gets only a small percentage of its total budget from federal funds. But those funds are targeted for specific programs for the most vulnerable students.

One of the largest of those is called Title I funding, which is used for supplemental services in schools where more than half the students come from low-income households. In Lawrence, six elementary schools qualify as Title I schools: New York, Kennedy, Woodlawn, Schwegler, Hillcrest and Pinckney. The district itself also receives Title I funding for programs that benefit homeless or neglected students, and to promote parent involvement.

All told, Doll said, Lawrence receives about $1.75 million a year in Title I funding. And if the fiscal cliff cuts were to go into effect, he anticipates losing as much as 10 percent of that, or about $175,000 a year.

“Any time you get a decrease in funding at any level, in any particular fund, you have to think about doing one of two things,” Doll said. “One would be to cut programs, which in this particular case would be really detrimental to kids. These Title I dollars go to our most at-risk kids. That would be difficult for us. So we’d have to look into other funds to see if we could make up that difference in cuts. In reality, it’d probably be a combination of both. We’d probably look at maybe some cuts and then also trying to look for some dollars in other nonfederal funds to help supplement that, where those Title I dollars are going.”

Schools also receive significant federal funding for special education and the school lunch program.

According to the Kansas Department of Education, about 12 percent of all special education funding and about 55 percent of school meal programs are funded by the federal government.

It isn’t yet clear how much of that could be reduced if the sequestration cuts take effect. But state officials say they are anticipating cuts in the range of 8 percent.

“

from there, with a vast social media outpouring for Tyler, from Instagram pictures, tweets and Facebook posts.

Graduates eager to support the Rathbun family and Shawnee Mission East students gathered in Lawrence for a photo with about 100 students, and

students at the University of Missouri snapped a shot and produced a video. Then more photos of East alums came from Oklahoma State, William Jewell, Arizona State, Vanderbilt, the University of Virginia and Colorado State.

East graduates at Tulsa, Miami of Ohio, Purdue, Arkansas, Yale, Wisconsin, Stanford and Nebraska also contributed. Then students at rival high schools such as St. Thomas Aquinas and Pembroke Hill also donned light blue. Tweets came in from NFL quarterback Josh Freeman, who posed with the sign #RIPTR. ESPN sportscaster Jay Bilas also offered a note of sympathy.

Rathbun was the Sunflower League soccer offensive player of the year this year and received allleague and all-state honors last season.

Shawnee Mission East Principal Karl Krawitz said he was amazed when the pictures started piling up in his inbox.

“Wow! It’s just incredible,” he said, looking at the faces of his graduates.

Tyler’s family members said they were moved by the support and thanked all those who participated.

“Seeing the love that people have for Tyler and the amount of caring they have for our family and our community is beyond words,” the family said in a written statement.

“The time and energy that people are giving to show their support is remarkable and an indication of the number of lives that Tyler touched. Your support is helping us through our time of grief, and we cannot thank you enough.”

Rochelle Harris, clinical psychologist at Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics, said she has watched social media quickly become a key part of the grieving process for young people. She said many of the students organized photos to help others but likely benefited from that person-to-person support.

“This is a way both of sharing their grief with those around them as well as doing something compassionate.”

Meyer is bracing for even more serious cuts in the form of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements that could total about $8.3 million over 10 years.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program for seniors. Medicaid is a joint federal-state insurance program for low-income children and families.

“We rely on public funding on both the Medicare and Medicaid side,” Meyer said. “But Medicare is the big issue because of the number of seniors that we care for. It’s about 43 percent of our patient volume.” That doesn’t necessarily translate to 43 percent of the hospital’s revenue, he said, because Medicare pays relatively low benefits compared to commercial insurance plans.

But the cuts to Medicare that are directly related to the fiscal cliff are only part of the puzzle for community hospitals, Meyer said. Wrapped up in the broader discussion of the federal budget are two other issues: implementation of the federal Affordable Care Act, commonly known as “Obamacare,” and a perennial Medicare issue dealing with Medicare payments to physicians.

Under the Affordable Care Act, Medicare payments to hospitals are scheduled to be cut next year. Meyer said that cut will cost LMH an estimated $2.6 million a year over the next 10 years.

Originally, those cuts were supposed to be offset by extending health insurance to most Americans, thereby reducing or eliminating the “uncompensated care” hospitals now provide to the uninsured.

But that was supposed to be accomplished through a mandatory expansion of Medicaid, the one part of the health reform law that the U.S. Supreme Court declared unconstitutional.

As a result, states now have the option of expanding their Medicaid programs to include more people. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican, so far has not said whether he will support expanding Medicaid here.

Meanwhile, Meyer said, LMH and the physician clinics associated with the hospital are keeping a close eye on federal Medicare payments to physicians. Under a complex formula created by Congress, whenever the total cost of physician services goes past a certain cap, cuts in physician reimbursement rates are supposed to kick in.

For the past 10 years, under pressure from medical lobby groups, Congress has delayed those cuts by passing what is commonly known as a “Doc Fix.” If Congress fails to pass another Doc Fix in 2013,

Meyer said, physician reimbursement rates would be cut 27 percent. And that’s on top of the cuts related to the fiscal cliff and the cuts stemming from the Affordable Care Act. “The community should be concerned because if these cuts continue, all providers — LMH included — will have to look at services and activities that we’re engaged in to really question the continuation of some of these services,” Meyer said. “I don’t have a list right now that would say we have to look at x, y and z. But clearly, if you’re going to operate a community hospital that relies on significant public funding, both in the Medicare sector and the Medicaid sector, if that’s cut as dramatically as what we think it will be, we’re probably going to have to take a look at making some adjustments to our operating budget.”

Meyer said that could include discontinuing certain medical services and programs that either lose money or barely break even, but he couldn’t identify what specific programs or services those would be. He also said the hospital may have to consider eliminating jobs.

“Staffing is a major expense for all hospitals,” he said.

At Heartland Community Health Center in Lawrence, there’s concern that the fiscal cliff could cause hard-won federal funding to evaporate almost as soon as it arrives.

In June, at the end of a four-year process, Heartland finally received designation as a Federally Qualified Health Center, or FQHC. That enables the local safety net clinic to receive federal funds — currently about $650,000 a year — in exchange for providing primary health care services to the uninsured.

In addition, the clinic also receives enhanced payments whenever it treats patients with Medicare or Medicaid coverage. That means it gets reimbursed for the actual cost of providing those services instead of the standard reimbursement rates, which are often substantially below costs. Uninsured patients account for as much as 70 percent of all the patients the clinic serves, according to Heartland spokeswoman Ali Edwards.

Although she didn’t have exact numbers, Edwards said the clinic staff is anticipating cuts in the neighborhood of 2 percent for federal health care programs if the fiscal cliff goes into effect. That would translate to about $13,000 from its basic operating grant, plus additional cuts through Medicare.

Medicaid reimbursement rates are established

by the state. And while the federal government pays about 60 percent of the cost of Medicaid in Kansas, a reduction in federal funding wouldn’t necessarily mean a cut in Medicaid reimbursement rates.

The decision about how to absorb a cut in federal Medicaid funding would have to be made by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s Division of Health Care Finance, the agency that manages the state’s Medicaid program.

“If it does happen, we will obviously advocate for keeping funding for community health centers such as ourselves at our current level,” Edwards said.

receiving $1,000 for a bus stop pad at North Third and Lyons streets, while the Oread neighborhood is receiving $13,492 for a crosswalk improvement at 14th and Tennessee streets.

The city is also using block grant funds to support operations of the Douglas County AIDS Project, Lawrence Community Shelter, Housing and Credit Counseling Inc., the Boys and Girls Clubs of Lawrence, the Social Service League of Lawrence and Independence Inc. Meanwhile, the city is using about $400,000 in federal HOME grants to fund tenant-based rental assistance, the city’s firsttime homebuyer program, Habitat for Humanity and other affordable housing programs.

Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug said there are few programs funded through county government that would be affected by sequestration.

Most of the federal money the county receives is for road and bridge projects that flow through the Kansas Department of Transportation, and those funds are not considered to be part of the negotiations over reducing the deficit because they come from dedicated revenue through motor fuel taxes.

Even if Congress and the Obama administration agree on a deficit reduction package to avoid the fiscal cliff, local officials acknowledged that any such package will itself have to include large and potentially painful budget cuts. As a result, they said, local governments may have to get used to the idea of reduced federal funding under any circumstances.

“Probably the biggest thing that’s likely to happen with the fiscal cliff is there’s just going to be a steady reduction in all sorts of federal funding,” Corliss said. “We do get the occasional Homeland Security grant for equipment purchases, or grants that come through the state from the Environmental Protection Agency for recycling work.

There is any number of federal grants and opportunities that could be affected.”

This is a way both of sharing their grief with those around them as well as doing something compassionate.”

— Clinical psychologist Rochelle Harris, on the use of social media to share feelings and remembrances

City, county services Douglas County and the city of Lawrence are much less dependent on federal funding than schools and health care providers, but the automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect next year could have an impact on them as well.

Lawrence City Manager David Corliss said the two biggest concerns for the city are possible cutbacks in Community Development Block Grants, or CDBGs, which fund neighborhood improvement projects and a variety of social services for low-income individuals; and federal HOME Investment Partnership grants, which fund affordable housing projects in communities throughout the country.

Both programs are managed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In Lawrence, they added up to $1.2 million in 2012.

“If sequestration happens, and there’s acrossthe-board cuts in discretionary spending, it probably will impact CDBG funding,” Corliss said. “They’ve talked about, at least from our sources, 8 percent reduction in CDBG funding, and we would need to look at how that would impact future CDBG programs.”

That probably wouldn’t have an immediate impact in Lawrence, Corliss said, because the city is now working on projects funded in the federal 2012 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30. Congress has not yet passed a 2013 budget but instead is operating on a series of “continuing resolutions.” That’s the money being negotiated now in the talks over the impending fiscal cliff.

According to budget figures from the city, this year’s CDBG funds are being used to pay operating expenses for five neighborhood associations: Brook Creek, East Lawrence, North Lawrence, Oread and Pinckney.

Ottawa man linked to robbery arrested A 20-year-old Ottawa man is being held on a $50,000 bond at the Douglas County Jail after being arrested on charges of kidnapping and robbery stemming from a Jan. 10 incident.

Dustin Jamal Burnett was arrested on a warrant by the Douglas County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office on Friday afternoon in Jackson County, Mo. Burnett is the fourth person arrested in the case, which involved the robbery of four people in the 1700 block of West 19th Street.

According to police, four or five men stopped by about midnight Jan. 10 to visit someone they knew in the apartment.

After a short time, the suspects, who indicated they had guns, robbed four victims in the home. The suspects took money, cellphones and other items from the home.

The other suspects, all Ottawa men, have since been arrested and convicted. They are: ! Colby Blaine Simon, 19, who pleaded no contest to attempted robbery and theft and is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 10. ! Dominique Rashad Burnett, 22, Ottawa, who was sentenced to 52 months in prison in September after pleading guilty to various charges. ! Dallas Jay Ambler, 22, Ottawa, who pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted robbery and will be sentenced Dec. 21.

Health dept. offices to close for training The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices and clinic will be closed from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Dec. 26.

The staff will be training for the implementation of Netsmart Technologiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Insight system, a new electronic medical record system, in January. The Health Department plans to begin using the new system Jan. 2.

Shelter offers glimpse of new home ELIZABETH STEPHENS, left, director of family programs, discusses plans for the new shelter with Gus McClelland and Kris Bates, both of Lawrence.

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

Hundreds of people toured the Lawrence Community Shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future home Sunday, taking advantage of an afternoon open house to ask staff questions about the soon-to-be completed new shelter.

The converted warehouse space at 3701 Franklin Park Circle isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to move into yet, but Loring Henderson, director of the shelter, said work should be complete by Dec. 21, and he hopes the move from the current location at 10th and Kentucky streets can be finished by the end of the year.

On Sunday, Henderson was busy shaking hands and answering questions about floor

plans and meal schedules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, this is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thank youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the community,â&#x20AC;?

Henderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They built it. We want them to be able to see what they did.â&#x20AC;?

The new location will be able to house 50 more people than at the current location and, for the first time, will offer three meals a day, seven days a week. With more than 7,000 additional square feet in the shel-

terâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living and working areas, there will be space for private rooms for families, a medical clinic staffed by volunteers, and more showers and lockers. Some guests sleep on mats at the current shelter location, but at the new shelter they will have beds.

The new location will also have 10,000 square feet of vacant warehouse space that it plans to use for job

training programs and partnerships with businesses in the future.

Henderson said Sunday that he was only a little surprised at how many people showed up for the open house, which was organized primarily by a committee from the capital campaign that raised $3.3 million for the project, mostly from local donors.

Kent Winters-Hazelton, pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Lawrence, said he was interested in the open house because the shelter has been working with his church, as well as others in the community, for years. Some members of his congregation were there too, among the crowd.

A look at project fees, per capita income

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

! There is a new study that refutes some perceptions about Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businessunfriendly environment.

A group of business students at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and the Society for Industrial Office Realtors have released a report on the fees that cities in the area charge for commercial and industrial development projects.

Lawrence, which ended up being one of the clear-cut bargains in the area, had the third lowest fee total in the office building category and the second lowest total in the industrial building category.

In both cases, the fees charged in Lawrence were more than $200,000 less than what were charged in the most expensive communities. Interestingly, the highest fees charged were in two communities often touted as being more businessfriendly than Lawrence: Overland Park and Lenexa.

The authors of the study submitted actual architectural site plans to the planning department of each city, and asked the department to provide a fake invoice for fees that would be due on the project. The first project was for a $9.6 million, 60,000-square-foot office building on a 10-acre site.

The findings could be spun a couple of different ways in Lawrence. One is that leaders could tout how aggressive Lawrence is in trying to attract business to the community. But another viewpoint might

LAWRENCE

.

be whether Lawrence is charging too little for development fees, causing general taxpayers to subsidize a service that is supposed to be supported by fees. The city has done some studying on that question and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it is the case. Many of the fees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially in Johnson County â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are impact fees for roads, parks and even art that Lawrence simply doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge.

The entire study raises an interesting question: How much do development fees play in the decision-making of developers? I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done all the math, but I suspect many of these communities with higher fees have had higher job growth rates than Lawrence has. I know many of them have a greater percentage of business and industry as a part of their tax base than Lawrence does.

So, how does this play into the mantra that Lawrence is unfriendly to business? Well, if you hear people saying that Lawrence charges outrageous fees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and I hear that sometimes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you might want to take those comments with a grain of salt.

But it also is worth remembering there are a couple of different types of development processes in Lawrence. The one studied here is for a developer that is proposing to build on a shovel-ready site.

There are a few shovelready commercial and industrial sites in Lawrence, but it would be interesting to see how our inventory stacks up against other communities. My guess is we have less.

Often, development of any size in Lawrence requires a developer to rezone a piece of property to fit his or her needs. When people think of some of the more high profile business squabbles or rejections

Residents don red heels for good cause

By Adam Strunk astrunk@ljworld.com

For a third consecutive year, members of the Lawrence community donned red high heels for a calendar shoot to benefit The Willow Domestic Violence Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had some preeminent people around the area who have posed in red heels,â&#x20AC;? said Aimee Eickmann, Willowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of community engagement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun.â&#x20AC;?

Among folks who posed for the 2013 calendar are Kansas University Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger and City Manager David Corliss.

Red Shoe Calendars sell for $20 and help fund Willowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelter, which housed 102 women and 113 children last year.

Shelter CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows the great support this community has for the shelter,â&#x20AC;? WintersHazelton said.

At the new location, one of the shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest neighbors will be the Douglas County Jail.

TO BUY A CALENDAR Calendars cost $20. To purchase a calendar online or for a list of locations selling the calendar, visit sunflower. com/~wtcs/calendar/. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the major fundraiser for The Willow,â&#x20AC;?

Eickmann said.

Eickmann said she hopes the calendar will raise awareness about domestic violence, a problem that affects one in three women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a problem in the Lawrence area, but it truly is. We serve about 1,600 people in this community every year.â&#x20AC;?

The decision to dress all of the models in red shoes was inspired by the international Walk A

Mile In Her Shoes campaign.

Eickmann said that every spring, people across the country put on red shoes and participate in

a walk to raise awareness about domestic violence. It just seemed natural to use the red shoes to raise money and awareness for The Willow Center, she said.

rector at the jail, came to the open house partly because many of people he sees struggling to stay out of jail also struggle with homelessness. He said he was interested in the new programs that the shelter will have to help people get back on their feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people, when they come out, they have no options whatsoever,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so helpful to have a shelter with real programs.â&#x20AC;?

John Carr and his wife, Stefanie, volunteer at the current shelter. They both said they came to the open house thinking about the doubts many residents, including their friends at the shelter, have had about the move.

Some had wondered about the frequency of meals while others worried about the new locationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatively distant location at the far east

edge of town. But the city has added a bus route that now goes right by the shelter site, and the Carrs said they were impressed with how the new shelter was shaping up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go back to our friends, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll them itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible,â&#x20AC;? John said.

JAMES AND KATIE NEWELL, Lawrence, sit down to enjoy a British-style Christmas dinner Sunday at Queen Lizzyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fish and Chips Shop.

Self-described Anglophiles, the pair said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never been to the United Kingdom but loved the Britsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; accents and, of course, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doctor Who.â&#x20AC;?

They saw the dinner as a chance to try some food and other traditions from across the pond without leaving Lawrence.

For Lee and Cook, the silly paper crowns stayed on for the meal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crackers really need to catch on in the U.S.,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fun.â&#x20AC;?

pudding. Dessert was figgy pudding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what I grew up eating and all my friends used to eat,â&#x20AC;? Poulton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much a staple.â&#x20AC;?

Among guests was Ginger Ratzlaff of Lawrence, who, years ago, volunteered in Botswana and enjoyed lots of meals with British neighbors there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just kind of fun and nostalgic,â&#x20AC;? she said.

James Newell, Lawrence, grew up in the United States with a Brit-

in Lawrence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as Walmart of several years ago, Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more recently or plans for an industrial park near the Lawrence Municipal Airport â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those often had zoning issues attached to them.

So, what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m saying here, is I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think this study is going to end the debate about whether Lawrence is adequately business-friendly enough.

Imagine that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a debate in Lawrence continuing on. ! There is a new report out that probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause Lawrence to garner any national headlines.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis has released its estimates for 2011 per capita income in each of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 366 metro areas.

Lawrence isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to land on any â&#x20AC;&#x153;best ofâ&#x20AC;? lists in this category. The Lawrence metro area â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is all of Douglas County â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has a per capita income of $33,379, which ranks it 271 out of the 366 metro areas. There is good news though. Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s per capita income grew in 2011, which was not the case in 2010. In fact, for the first time since 2007, every metro area in the country saw an increase in per capita income. Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s per capita income grew by 3.5 percent for the year.

Nationally, however, the average metro area saw its per capita income grow by 4.3 percent. If those are the Joneses up ahead, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not keeping up.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you a community that is, though: Manhattan. Our friends in the KState capital now have an average per capita income of $43,593. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, folks in Manhattan have about $10,000 more in per capita income than folks in Lawrence. (This is normally where I would make some sort of math-related joke involving Wildcats, but it appears they under-

ish mother, who has since moved back to England.

He and his wife, Katie, said they liked having a restaurant in Lawrence that serves authentic British food and wanted to try the holiday meal, as well.

For Katie Newell, Sunday

was her first time trying figgy pudding.

While awaiting their meal Sunday, friends Delana Lee and Karen Cook of Lawrence sipped wine and snapped a photo with a life-size cardboard David Tennant (the 10th

stand math better than we do.) Manhattanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s per capita income growth rate was 6.4 percent in 2011, and the city now has the 55th highest per capita income of any metro area in the country.

And you thought the beating we took on the football field was bad.

Lawrence leaders long have pointed to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as a university community as a drag on per capita income. There are certainly many university communities that suffer from low per capita incomes as the result of students who drag down the average. But anymore, it seems there are just as many university communities that have diversified their economies and have negated the downward income pressure created by low-earning students.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a look at several communities: â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lawrence: $33,379; 3.5 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ames, Iowa: $37,429; 6.1 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Austin, Texas: $40,455; 3.9 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Boulder, Colo.: $51,893; 3.7 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Columbia, Mo.: $37,350; 4.1 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iowa City, Iowa: $41,277; 6.1 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jefferson City, Mo.: $35,453; 3.2 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Joplin, Mo.: $31,408; 3.9 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kansas City Mo./ Kan.: $43,062; 3.9 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lincoln, Neb.: $39,018; 4.8 percent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lubbock, Texas: $34.573; 1.9 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Manhattan: $43,593; 6.4 percent growth

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oklahoma City: $40,002; 5.9 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Omaha, Neb.: $44,470; 4.4 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; St. Joseph, Mo.: $34,189; 4.8 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Springfield, Mo.: $33,302; 4.1 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Topeka: $37,765; 5.2 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tulsa, Okla.: $42,236; 6.8 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Waco, Texas: $33,943; 2.7 percent growth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wichita: $38,568; 4.4 percent growth

But no, this is Francescaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collections. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who Francesca is, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there will be plenty of people excited about her entry into Lawrence. According to its Web site, the retailer is a traditional type of boutique that offers womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, bags, shoes, jewelry and a few gift items.

The company has at least four locations in the Kansas City metro area, including at Oak Park Mall, Town Center Plaza and Country Club Plaza.

The deal continues a recent trend of growing national or regional retailers targeting downtown.

Off the top of my head, there have been White House Black Market, Ten Thousand Villages and, if you remember, we reported last month a store called Earthbound Trading Company is coming to downtown, although we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet seen official word of which spot it will be taking.

! It appears another growing, national specialty retailer is targeting downtown Lawrence.

It looks like Francescaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collections is preparing to move into the long vacant space at 742 Massachusetts St. If you are having a hard time picturing that spot, it is just north of Tellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant.

I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten confirmation from the company about the deal, but the retailer has filed for a sign permit at Lawrence City Hall. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually a pretty good indication a deal has been sealed.

At first I was very excited about this news, but that was mainly because I misread the permit. I thought â&#x20AC;&#x201D; City reporter Chad it was Fraschillaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collections, as in Fran Fraschilla, Lawhorn can be reached at 832former St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Univer- 6362.

Q:

Dayne Crist was able to play right away at Kansas after transferring from Notre Dame, and Jordan Webb was able to play right away at Colorado after transferring from Kansas. So why was Jake Heaps required to sit out a year after transferring to Kansas from Brigham Young? It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem fair.

Feany will examine different mutations of tau. In his lab in Lawrence, Gamblin will study how those proteins work on a molecular level. And his lab is shipping DNA to Feany at Harvard, where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use it to observe how the mutated proteins affect the brains and behavior of flies and mice.

Both said that their idea to combine their two sets

Feany said she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of another such collaboration between scientists in different fields to examine this problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a huge potential in getting novel insights into how these diseases work,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Gamblin said, with huge implications.

BRIEFLY Powerful storm hits Northern California SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Residents of Northern California endured the brunt of another powerful storm that drenched the area with yet another round of pounding rain and strong winds, but damage from the storm was less than expected, officials said.

The latest storm system â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the third to hit the area in less than a week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; moved across the region late Saturday and early Sunday dropping as much as an inch of rain per hour in some areas, toppling trees and knocking out electrical service to tens of thousands of people, officials said.

Rivers across Northern California swelled from the deluge but did not flood as extensively as had been expected, officials said.

Palestinian leader returns from U.N. RAMALLAH, WEST BANK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Palestinian president returned triumphantly to the West Bank on Sunday, receiving a boisterous welcome from thousands of cheering supporters at a rally celebrating his peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new acceptance to the United Nations.

But Palestinian officials acknowledged they were undecided on what to do with their newfound status, and were waiting for upcoming Israeli elections and new ideas from President Barack Obama before deciding how to proceed.

Outside the headquarters of President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah, some 5,000 people thronged a square, hoisted Palestinian flags and cheered their leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return from New York. Large posters of the Palestinian leader, whose popularity had plummeted in recent months, adorned nearby buildings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now have a state,â&#x20AC;?

Abbas said to wild applause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The world has said loudly, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes to the state of Palestine.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest court joins judicial strike

By Hamza Hendawi Associated Press

CAIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest court joined a judicial rebellion against President Mohammed Morsi on Sunday by declaring an open-ended strike on the day it was supposed to rule on the legitimacy of two key assemblies controlled by allies of the Islamist leader.

The strike by the Supreme Constitutional Court and opposition plans to march on the presidential palace on Tuesday take the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest political crisis to a level not seen in the nearly two years of turmoil since Hosni Mubarakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ouster in a popular uprising.

Judges from the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest appeals court and its sister lower court were already on an indefinite strike, joining colleagues from other tribunals who suspended work last week to protest what they saw as Morsiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assault on the judiciary.

The last time Egypt had an all-out strike by the judiciary was in 1919, when judges joined an uprising

SUPPORTERS OF EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT MOHAMMED MORSI CHANT SLOGANS as riot police, left, stand guard in front of the entrance of Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top court on Sunday in Cairo.

Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top court announced on Sunday the suspension of its work indefinitely to protest â&#x20AC;&#x153;psychological and physical pressures,â&#x20AC;? saying its judges could not enter its Nile-side building because of the Islamist presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters gathered outside. against British colonial rule.

The standoff began when Morsi issued decrees on Nov. 22 giving him near-absolute powers that granted himself and the Islamist-

dominated assembly drafting the new constitution immunity from the courts.

The constitutional panel then raced in a marathon session last week to

vote on the charterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 236 clauses without the participation of liberal and Christian members. The fast-track hearing preempted a decision from

the Supreme Constitutional Court that was widely expected to dissolve the constituent assembly.

The judges on Sunday postponed their ruling on that case just before they went on strike.

Without a functioning justice system, Egypt will be plunged even deeper into turmoil. It has already seen a dramatic surge in crime after the uprising, while state authority is being challenged in many aspects of life and the courts are burdened by a massive backlog of cases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The country cannot function for long like this, something has to give,â&#x20AC;? said Negad Borai, a private law firm director and a rights activist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in a country without courts of law and a president with all the powers in his hands. This is a clearcut dictatorial climate.â&#x20AC;?

Mohamed Abdel-Aziz, a rights lawyer, said the strike by the judges will impact everything from divorce and theft to financial disputes that, in some cases, could involve foreign investors.

Mallet, a media relations specialist for Georgetown University and others, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Noseâ&#x20AC;? when she first spotted it during one of her frequent Goodwill shopping trips in May. But the graphic blackand-white picture was striking.

Then she saw the Calder signature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real or not but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $12.99.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wasted more on worse things,â&#x20AC;? she said. A discount for using her Goodwill loyalty card brought the price down to $12.34.

Once home, she searched the Internet and found similar lithographs by Calder, who died in 1976 and is widely known for his mobiles and abstract sculptures. Malletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piece was No. 55 of 75 lithographs and was made in 1969.

Jacob Fine Art Inc., in suburban Chicago, recently set its replacement value at $9,000.

Mallet has no immediate plans to sell her â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Nose.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It grew on me,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now I love it.â&#x20AC;?

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republicans have to stop using â&#x20AC;&#x153;political mathâ&#x20AC;? and say how much they are willing to raise tax rates on the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans and then specify the spending cuts they want, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said in an interview that aired Sunday.

Just four weeks from the proverbial â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliff,â&#x20AC;? House Speaker John Boehner countered that Republicans have a plan for providing as much as $800 billion in new government revenue over the next decade and would consider the elimination of tax deductions on highincome earners. But when pressed on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fox News Sundayâ&#x20AC;? for precise details, the Ohio Republican declined to say.

There are â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of options in terms of how to get there,â&#x20AC;? Boehner said.

Both Boehnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Geithnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest remarks indicate it could be some time before serious negotiations begin between the White House and Republicans on how to avert economic calamity expected in less than a month when President George W. Bush-era tax cuts expire and automatic, across-the-board spending cuts kick in.

Last week, the White

House delivered to Capitol Hill its opening plan: $1.6 trillion in higher taxes over a decade, hundreds of billions of dollars in new spending, a possible extension of the temporary Social Security payroll tax cut and enhancing the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power to raise the national debt limit.

In exchange, the president would back $600 billion in s p e n d ing cuts, including $350 billion from Medicare and other health programs. But Geithner he also wants $200 billion in new spending for jobless benefits, public works projects and aid for struggling homeowners. His proposal for raising the ceiling on government borrowing would make it virtually impossible for Congress to block him.

Republicans said they responded in closed-door meetings with laughter and disbelief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just flabbergasted,â&#x20AC;? Boehner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked at him (Geithner), and I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be serious.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Boehner described negotiations as going â&#x20AC;&#x153;nowhere, period,â&#x20AC;? and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearly a chanceâ&#x20AC;? the nation will go over the cliff.

Geithner, the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point man for negotiations, was slightly more optimistic while saying the ball was in Boehnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court. But the treasury secretary also said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a counteroffer right away, as Republicans work to sort out tensions within the party in the wake of bruising national elections that left Democrats in charge of the White House and the Senate.

Boehner acknowledged in his interview, aired Boehner Sunday, that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy with public remarks by Republican Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, who said he was ready to go along with Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to renew expiring income tax cuts for the majority of Americans and negotiate the rates on top earners later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to figure out where they go next,â&#x20AC;? Geithner said of Republicans, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we might need to give them a little time to figure out where they go next.â&#x20AC;?

He called the back-andforth â&#x20AC;&#x153;normal political theater,â&#x20AC;? saying all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blocking a timely deal is the GOPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reluctance to accept higher tax rates on the wealthy.

Transplant

Alexander said that to his knowledge, Robinson was the first person to get to that point in the kidney donation process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware that he was going through with it, I guess,â&#x20AC;? Alexander said.

By donating his kidney, Robinson likely provided Alexander with an organ that will last three to five years longer than one received from a deceased donor, said Sean Kumer, the KU Hospital surgeon who removed Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kidney last Monday. The donation also saved Alexanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body from additional wear and tear from continuing to undergo dialysis, Kumer said. The average Kansan in need of a kidney usually waits for two to two-and-a-half years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember that day,â&#x20AC;?

Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gil had been feeling down, and he just felt tired of dialysis and tired of waiting on a donor. And, you know, I text him that I was a match, and he ended up calling me, and he was all shaken up.â&#x20AC;?

Robinson, 43, and his wife, Sharon, came up to Kansas City a few weeks ago for preliminary procedures, and they ate Thanksgiving dinner with 50 to 60 of Alexanderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and their friends in Kansas City, Kan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never felt so much love,â&#x20AC;? Sharon said.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be coming back for Thanksgiving next year, she said, bringing her three children with them.

Doctors said the transplant Monday went smoothly, and Alexander says he feels like a new man. (Pre-screening for the transplant also revealed a cancerous cell in his pancreas, which doctors removed; Alexander says the kidney disease, in a way, may have saved his life.) Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to start traveling again as he used to.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning a trip to Mississippi in the spring to see Robinson. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll teach him how to scuba dive, and Robinson will teach him how to hunt.

Sharon says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine intervention that the two became friends, and they agree.

Alexander says he thinks he was meant to learn from this how to better accept help from others, maybe even ask for it.

In this case, though, all he had to do was let a stranger come in the front door.

health care law, Medicaid would be expanded on Jan. 1, 2014, to cover people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty line, or about $15,400 a year for an individual.

About half the 30 million people gaining coverage under the law would do so through Medicaid. Most of the new beneficiaries would be childless adults, but about 2.7 million would be parents with children at home. The federal government would pay the full cost of the first three years of the expansion, gradually phasing down to a 90 percent share.

The Supreme Court said states can turn down the Medicaid expansion.

But if a state does so, many of its poorest residents would have no other way to get health insurance.

The subsidized private coverage also available under Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s law is only for people making more than the poverty level, $11,170 for an individual.

For the poor, Medicaid is the only option.

Five states to increase class time in some schools

By Josh Lederman Associated Press

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Open your notebooks and sharpen your pencils. School for thousands of public school students is about to get quite a bit longer.

Five states were to announce Monday that they will add at least 300 hours of learning time to the calendar in some schools starting in 2013. Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee will take part in the initiative, which is intended to boost student achievement and make U.S. schools more competitive on a global level.

The three-year pilot program will affect almost 20,000 students in 40 schools, with long-term hopes of expanding the program to include additional schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially those that serve low-income communities. Schools, working in concert with districts, parents and teachers, will decide whether to make the school day longer, add more days to the school year or both.

DILBERT

A mix of federal, state and district funds will cover the costs of expanded learning time, with the Ford Foundation and the National Center on Time & Learning also chipping in resources.

In Massachusetts, the program builds on the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existing expanded-learning program. In Connecticut, Gov. Dannel Malloy is hailing it as a natural outgrowth of an education reform law the state passed in May that included about $100 million in new funding, much of it to help the neediest schools.

Spending more time in the classroom, education officials said, will give students access to a more wellrounded curriculum that includes arts and music, individualized help for students who fall behind and opportunities to reinforce critical math and science skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether educators have more time to enrich instruction or students have more time to learn how to play an instrument and write computer code, adding meaningful in-school hours is a critical investment that better prepares children to be

successful in the 21st century,â&#x20AC;?

Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement.

Duncan The project comes as educators across the U.S. struggle to identify the best ways to strengthen a public education system that many fear has fallen behind other nations. Student testing, teacher evaluations, charter schools and voucher programs join longer school days on the list of reforms that have been put forward with varying degrees of success.

The report from the center, which advocates for extending instruction time, cites research suggesting students who spend more hours learning perform better. One such study, from Harvard economist Roland Fryer, argues that of all the factors affecting educational outcomes, two are the best predictors of success: intensive tutoring and adding at least 300 hours to the standard school calendar.

Some advice County commissioners took the prudent course by seeking an independent opinion on whether to permit a sand-pit dredging operation.

I

t seems as if Douglas County Commissioner Jim Flory’s comment at Wednesday’s meeting was right on target.

After listening to a debate that lasted more than five hours and receiving more than 400 pages of documents related to a sand-pit dredging application that included conflicting engineering studies, the former federal prosecutor asserted: “I argued cases before judges for 27 years, and I never had a judge sit through complex arguments like this and rule from the bench.”

Judiciously, the County Commission decided not to make an immediate decision but determined instead to hire an independent consultant to help it evaluate the proposal.

Hiring consultants can sometimes be a way for elected officials to sidestep or pass off some of their decision-making responsibility, but, in this case, it seems appropriate. The commission was presented conflicting expert information about the threat, or lack of a threat, to Eudora’s water supply from a proposed sand-pit mining operation on 434 acres south of the Kansas River near Eudora.

The application for a conditional use permit for the mining operation had been approved on a 4-3 vote by the LawrenceDouglas County Planning Commission.

Area residents and the city of Eudora have opposed the permit. They fear the mining will enable the introduction of pollutants into the city’s water supply and argue that the city’s water treatment plant is designed to treat well water, not water containing agricultural and urban pollutants.

Those seeking the dredging permit respond that the numerous conditions put on the operation provide adequate safeguards and that sand dredging on the Kansas River itself has not endangered the underlying aquifer that supplies the city’s wells. They also contend the proposed location of the mining operation is far enough from the city’s supply that there’s no chance it will contaminate the city’s supply field.

Faced with conflicting information bolstered by authorities on both sides of the argument, the commission has made the practical and sound decision to seek a disinterested authority to help it decide the complex matter. Too much is potentially at stake to have done otherwise.

Campuses seek to abolish annoyances WASHINGTON — In 2007, Keith John Sampson, a middle-aged student working his way through Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis as a janitor, was declared guilty of racial harassment. Without granting Sampson a hearing, the university administration — acting as prosecutor, judge and jury — convicted him of “openly reading [a] book related to a historically and racially abhorrent subject.”

“Openly.” “Related to.”

Good grief.

The book, “Notre Dame vs. the Klan,” celebrated the 1924 defeat of the Ku Klux Klan in a fight with Notre Dame students. But some of Sampson’s co-workers disliked the book’s cover, which featured a black-andwhite photograph of a Klan rally. Someone was offended, therefore someone else must be guilty of harassment.

This non sequitur reflects the right never to be annoyed, a new campus entitlement.

Legions of administrators, who now outnumber fulltime faculty, are kept busy making students mind their manners, with good manners understood as conformity to liberal politics.

Liberals are most concentrated and untrammeled on campuses, so look there for evidence of what, given the opportunity, they would do to America. Ample evidence is in “Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate” by Greg Lukianoff, 38, a graduate of Stanford Law School who describes himself as a liberal, pro-choice, pro-gay rights, lifelong Democrat who belongs to “the notoriously politically

In recent years, a University of Oklahoma vice president has declared that no university resources, including email, could be used for “the forwarding of political humor/ commentary.” The College at Brockport in New York banned using the Internet to “annoy or otherwise inconvenience” anyone. Rhode Island College prohibited, among many other things, certain “attitudes.” Texas Southern University’s comprehensive proscriptions included “ver-

bal harm” from damaging “assumptions” or “implications.”

Texas A&M promised “freedom from indignity of any type.” Davidson banned “patronizing remarks.” Drexel University forbade “inappropriately directed laughter.”

Western Michigan University banned “sexism,” including “the perception” of a person “not as an individual, but as a member of a category based on sex.” Banning “perceptions” must provide full employment for the burgeoning ranks of academic administrators.

Many campuses congratulate themselves on their broad-mindedness when they establish small “free speech zones” where political advocacy can be scheduled. At one point, Texas Tech’s 28,000 students had a “free speech gazebo” that was 20 feet wide.

And you thought the First Amendment made America a free speech zone.

At Tufts, a conservative newspaper committed “harassment” by printing accurate quotations from the Quran and a verified fact about the status of women in Saudi Arabia. Lukianoff says Tufts may have been the first American institution “to find someone guilty of harassment for stating verifiable facts directed at no one in particular.”

He documents how “orientation” programs for freshmen become propaganda to (in the words of one orthodoxy enforcer) “leave a mental footprint on their consciousness.” Faculty, too, can face mandatory consciousness-raising.

In 2007, Donald Hindley, a politics professor at Brandeis, was found guilty of harass-

ment because when teaching Latin American politics he explained the origin of the word “wetbacks,” which refers to immigrants crossing the Rio Grande. Without a hearing, the university provost sent Hindley a letter stating that the university “will not tolerate inappropriate, racial and discriminatory conduct.” The assistant provost was assigned to monitor Hindley’s classes “to ensure that you do not engage in further violations of the nondiscrimination and harassment policy.” Hindley was required to attend “antidiscrimination training.”

Such coercion is a natural augmentation of censorship. Next comes mob rule.

Last year, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the vice provost for diversity and climate — really; you can’t make this stuff up — encouraged students to disrupt a news conference by a speaker opposed to racial preferences. They did, which the vice provost called “awesome.” This is the climate on an especially liberal campus that celebrates “diversity” in everything but thought.

“What happens on campus,” Lukianoff says, “doesn’t stay on campus” because censorship has “downstream effects.” He quotes a sociologist whose data he says demonstrate that “those with the highest levels of education have the lowest exposure to people with conflicting points of view.” This encourages “the human tendency to live within our own echo chambers.” Parents’ tuition dollars and student indebtedness are paying for this.

I am writing in regard to the sad state Dr. Grant Ritchey of science education in our schools. The Tonganoxie recent article in the Journal-World (Nov. 26) has me worried for the students of today who will be our leaders of tomorrow.

True patriots To the editor: As a “green” reporter for the Wellsville Globe, which had been sold to TriCounty News in Gardner, I was sent to cover the Jacob Butler story. Hoards of reporters descended on the Wellsville community, parking all around the Butler home, shoving mics into the faces of Jim and Cindy Butler. The Butlers were in shock. At the time, my son was the same age as Jacob, and my heart broke as they struggled with their loss. I stayed in the background, disgusted with the way the media hounded these humble folks.

The recent story in the Journal-World (Nov. 23) brought back all the heartbreaking memories. I hope the Butlers have some kind of closure. It is shameful that it has taken nine years for the true circumstances of their son’s death to surface. I wonder how many other families are struggling with the same unanswered questions. Service men and women, their families and friends deserve to be treated with respect, honesty and truth. Any less is a failure on the parts of all of us who claim to be patriots.

KANSAS WOMEN 65, MINNESOTA 53

Bench warmer Reserves heat up, carry KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

When Bonnie Henrickson sends a sub to the scorer’s table, Henrickson, Kansas University women’s basketball coach, wants the backup thinking about how she can impact the game the moment she steps foot on the floor.

“What happens in the game when I sub in?” Henrickson said of a bench player’s proper mindset. “It doesn’t always have to be (points). It’s, ‘Can I drive and kick it to somebody who can make a shot?’”

The Jayhawks’ I couldn’t substitutes provided all of the have been above and more more Sunday afterpleased noon at Allen with how big Fieldhouse as KU beat a pesky those guys Minnesota team, were off the 65-53. bench.”

Foul trouble plagued the Jay— KU coach Bonnie hawks’ top two players — seHenrickson niors Carolyn Davis and Angel Goodrich — but Chelsea Gardner, CeCe Harper and Asia Boyd scored 16 of their 21 bench points in the second half.

With Goodrich (four fouls) limited to 21 minutes and Davis picking up her third foul less than two minutes into the second half, No. 20 KU (7-0) not only survived without its stars but found a way to thrive with sophomore forward Gardner scoring 12 of her 14 points in the final 20 minutes.

“I couldn’t have been more pleased with how big those guys were off the bench,” Henrickson said, adding that Kansas has come a long way in just a couple of weeks from a depth standpoint.

Gardner exploded after Davis (20 points in 24 minutes) picked up her second and third fouls on one defensive possession. Gardner, a 6-foot-3 sophomore forward from De Soto, Texas, scored 12 of the Jayhawks’ 14 points in a 10-minute stretch, showing off her jump-hook, offensive rebounding, range out to

KANSAS’ CHELSEA GARDNER, LEFT, AND MINNESOTA’S KAYLA HIRT GO AFTER A POSSESSION durPlease see KU WOMEN, page 3B ing Kansas’ 65-53 victory over the Gophers on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Kansas University senior Jeff Withey, who set an NCAA Tournament record by blocking 31 shots in the 2012 postseason, continues to protect the basket at an astonishing rate.

The 7-footer from San Diego leads the country with 40 blocks in seven games — five more blocks than both Arizona State’s Jordan Bachynski (seven games) and St. John’s Chris Obekpa (eight games).

D o e s Withey hope to lead the country in rejections?

“Definitely. I feel I should have done it last year. Antho- Withey ny Davis did, right?” he said of former Kentucky center Davis, who indeed had a nation’s-best 186 blocks last season to Withey’s schoolrecord 140 rejections.

“I feel I should be up there for sure,” Withey added.

Withey, who doesn’t mind being known as a shot blocker — “It’s what I do,” he said — was asked if he was shooting for David Robinson’s single-season blocks record of 207 set in 1985-86 at Navy.

“Two hundred and seven in one year?” Withey said.

“I definitely am. I’ll try for it. Every day I go out there I want to go block shots and help my team win. It leads to easy points for us. As long as I can keep doing what I have to do to help us win. Hopefully I can get a lot more blocks in my career.”

He has 205 career blocks, which ranks sixth on KU’s all-time list. He’s 54 blocks from passing Greg Ostertag, who had 258 from 1992-95.

Cole Aldrich had 253 blocks, Nick Collison 243, Eric Chenowith 242 and Scot Pollard 218.

“It would be awesome, especially at KU. It’s a historic program,” Withey said of the career blocks mark.

“To have my name in the record books would be a huge honor, something I’d cherish forever.”

In perhaps his most remarkable stat of all, Withey has committed just six fouls all season. A year ago, he had 14 blocks and 25 fouls through seven games.

Chiefs beat Panthers at somber Arrowhead KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Romeo Crennel stood in the middle of the Kansas City Chiefs’ locker room Sunday, the emotion threatening to overcome the good-natured coach.

Chiefs owner Clark Hunt was at his side, offering support. Members of the team hugged each other, the mud smearing with tears on their cheeks. And over along the wall stood the empty locker that once belonged to Jovan Belcher, his jersey still hanging from a hook.

Just one day after the linebacker killed his girlfriend and then turned the gun on himself, the Chiefs banded together to play their finest game of the season, an inspired 27-21 victory over the Carolina Panthers that ended an eight-game losing streak suddenly rendered trivial.

“As far as playing the game, I thought that was the best for us to do, because that’s what we do,” Crennel said, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. “We’re football players and football coaches and that’s what we do. We play on Sunday.”

According to authorities, Belcher shot his girlfriend multiple times early Saturday at a residence near Arrowhead Stadium, then sped

to the team’s practice facility and turn the gun on himself as Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli watched in the parking lot.

Pioli walked through the press box before the game and said he was doing “OK.” “It’s been an incredibly difficult 24 hours for our Colin E. Braley/AP Photos family and our entire organization,” Hunt said. “We have ABOVE, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS COACH ROMEO CRENNEL wipes his eyes before the Chiefs’ 27-21 victory over Carolina on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo.

BCS 1-2 no shock; NIU nabs bowl NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On one side, a blossoming dynasty from the college football capital of the Deep South. On the other, the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous team, trying to reclaim its place among the elite.

Notre Dame and Alabama bring star power and power football to the BCS championship.

The match-up became official Sunday night when the final standings were released, and, to no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprise, the Fighting Irish were first and the Crimson Tide was second.

The one bit of drama on college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selection Sunday was whether Northern Illinois

could be this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCS buster.

The Huskies got in, getting a spot in the Orange Bowl against Florida State, taking a bid away from Oklahoma and sparking heated debate about a system that never fails to tick off fans in some way.

The other BCS match-ups: ! Oregon and Kansas State will play in the Fiesta Bowl. ! Wisconsin and Stanford will meet in the Rose Bowl. ! Florida and Louisville are set for the Sugar Bowl.

As for the main event in the penultimate Bowl Championship Series, there was little controversy about No. 1 Notre

Dame against No. 2 Alabama on Jan. 7 in Miami.

The Irish clinched their spot a week ago in Los Angeles by completing a perfect season against rival Southern California.

Alabama earned its spot Saturday, beating Georgia 32-28 in a thrilling Southeastern Conference title game.

Irish, Tide also top AP poll Notre Dame ended the regular season as the No. 1 team in the Associated Press college football for the first time since 1988, the last championship season for the Fighting Irish.

No. 2 Alabama held its spot.

Ohio State (12-0), which is banned from the postseason because of NCAA sanctions, moves up a spot to No. 3. Florida is No. 4, Oregon is fifth and Georgia fell to sixth.

Northern Illinois jumped to No. 16 after beating Kent State for the Mid-American Conference title. Kent State dropped seven spots to No. 25.

Louisville, the Big East champion, moved back into the rankings at No. 22.

No. 24 San Jose State is ranked for the first time since Nov. 24, 1975.

Texas and Oklahoma State dropped out of the rankings.

THE KNICKSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; CHRIS COPELAND, RIGHT, DUNKS on the Sunsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Michael Beasley during their game on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Knicks won, 10699.

Top-scoring, three-loss La. Tech left out of bowl Louisiana Tech, with a 9-3 record and the highest-scoring team in the country, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to a bowl game.

La Tech athletic director Bruce Van De Velde told the Associated Press that Independence Bowl organizers offered a spot in their game on Saturday afternoon, but the Bulldogs had other possible options still available to them. Van De Velde said he asked the Independence Bowl for more time to make a decision, but was told by game organizers that they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody turned a bowl bid down,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked for more time to vet two other opportunities that we had that we felt good about.â&#x20AC;?

Van De Velde said he told the Independence Bowl organizers: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody you are going to get to replace us will be there on Sunday. Just give us time to evaluate these opportunities.â&#x20AC;?

The Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., had already invited Louisiana-Monroe from the Sun Belt Conference.

Independence Bowl chairman Jack Andres said organizers had to set a deadline for Louisiana Tech. They were concerned if they waited they would be stuck with a team that was barely bowl-eligible and too far away from Shreveport to bring many fans to the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to make some decisions to get somebody in there. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got sponsors, hotels.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of money riding on this,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before we made another deal we called them back. We said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still willing to have you at the bowl, but need to know fairly quickly.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So we gave them a deadline and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call us back until way later than that. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call us back, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And we made another deal so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have a quality bowl team.â&#x20AC;?

The bowl ended up selecting Ohio University from the Mid-American Conference.

Louisiana Tech plays in the Western Athletic Conference, which is going away as a football conference next season and has only one bowl tie-in, with the Idaho Potato Bowl. The spot went to league champion Utah State.

La Tech is moving to Conference USA next fall.

Van De Velde said he was working with C-USA commissioner Britton Banowsky on possibly getting the Bulldogs, who averaged 51 points per game, into the Heart of Dallas Bowl or the Liberty Bowl. But when Northern Illinois slipped into the Bowl Championship Series, taking a possible BCS bid away from Oklahoma, it started a domino effect that filled those spots with Big 12 teams.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Big 12 teams earn nine berths The Big 12 Conference will be well-represented in the college football postseason.

Kansas State (11-1), which finished at No. 5 in the Bowl Championship Series standings, grabbed the only BCS berth among the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine bowl-eligible teams. The Wildcats will match up with Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl.

Oklahoma (10-2) finished at No. 11 in the BCS, but lost out to Northern Illinois for the Orange Bowlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at-large berth. Instead, the Sooners will face Big 12 ex-pat Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.

Other match-ups include: Texas (8-4) vs. Oregon State in the Alamo Bowl, Oklahoma State (75) vs. Purdue in the Heart of Dallas Bowl, Baylor (7-5) vs. UCLA in the Holiday Bowl, TCU (7-5) vs.

Michigan State in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, Texas Tech (7-5) vs. Minnesota in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, West Virginia (7-5) vs. Syracuse in the Pinstripe Bowl, and Iowa State (6-6) vs.

Tulsa in the Liberty Bowl.

Kansas RB Sims says NFL can wait

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University football tailback James Sims had a breakthrough year in 2012, becoming the 12th Jayhawk to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season.

But a professional career for the junior from Irving, Texas, is not calling just yet.

“I think about it from time to time,” Sims said during an interview prior to Saturday’s 59-10 loss at West Virginia in the season finale. “But it’s not my main priority right now. I still feel I need to mature as a running back and work on things before I think about going to the next level.”

Heading into the season, Sims was perceived by many to be a solid but unspectacular runner on a

bad football team. However, after rushing for 1,013 yards in just nine games, the perception changed, and now many have begun to think about Sims’ professional football future.

KU coach Charlie Weis is one of those guys, and he said on multiple occasions throughout KU’s 1-11 season that Sims had what it took to play in the NFL. Weis would know. KU’s first-year coach worked as an NFL assistant for 16 seasons and during that time coached an impressive crop of running backs, from Curtis Martin to Jamaal Charles and all kinds in between.

“He can run inside, and he can run outside, and he can pick up the blitz,” Weis said of Sims. “He can run, and he can catch.

I don’t know what he can’t do. Does he run sub-4.5

(-second 40-yard dash time)? No. But he’s a really, really good player. And if you’re a really, really good player here, there’s a better than even chance that you’re going to have a chance to be a really good player (in the NFL). His football will not end next year when he finishes up his senior year. His football will continue.”

Sims, whom Weis compared recently to former Denver Broncos standout Terrell Davis, has led the Jayhawks in rushing in each of the past three seasons. He followed up a strong freshman season (742 yards on 168 carries) with a near repeat (727182) during his sophomore season.

But a better offseason conditioning program and the motivation to make up for the three-game sus-

“That’s unbelievable. Of course, Wilt never fouled out of a game, did he?” KU coach Bill Self said of former KU/NBA great Wilt Chamberlain, who never fouled out of a college or NBA contest.

“If you have five fouls and we played six games (now six in seven games) and you’re a big guy, maybe you are not as aggressive as you need to be. But on the flip side, it does show that Jeff’s timing is off the charts, and his ability to stay away from body contact when he’s blocking balls well above the head is tremendous.

We’ve played poor defense many possessions, and he just absolutely has bailed us out.”

Withey leads the country in blocks per foul (6.67). Bachynski, who has committed 14 fouls, is second at 2.50. Obekpa has been whistled for 24 fouls on the season.

Self said that though the game of basketball in college and the NBA “has gotten smaller,” there’s “still a place” for a true 7-footer like Withey.

“The hardest thing to guard in our game is a skilled 4-man (power forward),” Self said. “That’s the position that screws everybody up ... having a 4-man that can stretch it or put it down. There’s no question there’s a place for a 5, and there’s not as many it seems like now, because the majority of ones aren’t in school (instead in NBA).

“Jeff ... I don’t even know if the next level he’s a center. He may be somewhat of a 41⁄2 offensively and a 5 defensively. He has evolved as a pretty good basketball player, there is no question about that.”

Withey is second on the team in scoring (14.6 ppg to Ben McLemore’s 14.9) and first in rebounding (8.1 rpg per game to Kevin Young’s 6.2 and McLemore’s 5.7).

Withey has hit a team-leading 59.1 percent of his shots, though his free-throw shooting percentage has dipped to 63.2 compared to his sizzling 79.5 mark of a year ago.

“I feel I am on a roll for sure. I definitely want to keep it up,” Withey said of his overall offensive play. “I’m getting extra shots up with coach Roberts (Norm, assistant). I’m trying to get more aggressive. Coach Self is trying to instill that in my head.

My teammates are finding me open. It’s them finding easy buckets for me.

As long as I keep that up, it’d be great. As long as we keep winning, that’s fine.”

KU will meet Colorado at 1 p.m. Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse. !

Frankamp hits for 46: KU signee Conner Frankamp scored 46 points in Wichita North’s 76-43 season-opening victory over Wichita Northwest on Friday.

pension to start this season after a DUI arrest last summer turned Sims into a faster, stronger, more dangerous back. While breaking the 1,000-yard mark on 218 carries, Sims stacked up a school-record streak of six straight 100yard rushing games earlier this year and finished as the Big 12’s leading rusher at 112.6 yards per game, even with most of KU’s opponents focusing their defensive game plans solely on stopping him.

Still, Sims has not been talked about much outside of the area. Asked if his occasional thoughts about the NFL had included any serious talks, Sims emphasized his plan to return to Kansas for his senior season.

“No. Not right now,” he said. “I haven’t heard anything about it.”

Gardner said her confidence has grown since her 26-point output against Grambling State four days earlier.

“Before the Grambling game, I was struggling,” she said. “And now I feel that I’m doing good and being aggressive.”

Harper had four points, six rebounds, five steals and three assists in a season-high 29 minutes against Minnesota (6-3).

“I knew Angel was in foul trouble, so I just wanted to come in and pick the pace up, whether it was defensively or offensively,” she said.

The first half proved more difficult than the second for KU, which entered the break tied at 30 with the Golden Gophers.

But even when Goodrich picked up her second foul 12 minutes into the game, leading Henrickson to keep her star point guard on the bench the remainder of the first half, Kansas stayed assertive.

Davis scored nine straight KU points from the 7:42 mark to 4:51, and the Jayhawks led 28-26.

While Davis fought in the paint for great position, Harper and Monica Engelman made sure to get her the ball. Each fed two assists to KU’s go-to senior in the post, allowing Davis easy, point-blank shots.

The Jayhawks had a miserable start to open the game, which began with a shot-clock violation.

The next time down the floor, Goodrich searched for a driving lane and was called for traveling with the clock winding down. When Engelman threw an outlet pass out of bounds following a defensive rebound, KU had turned the ball over three times before even taking a shot. The Gophers’ length,

so many guys on our team and our coaching staff who are really, really hurting.”

Chiefs players gathered in the tunnel leading to the field for a brief prayer before their pregame stretching. A few fans in the half-empty stadium held up signs referencing the shootings, and there was a moment of silence to remember all victims of domestic violence.

Kansas City police have not released a motive for the shootings, which claimed the life of Belcher and 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins, and left a 3-month-old girl, Zoey, an orphan.

“I’m just trying to get through the rest of today,” said the Chiefs’ Brady Quinn, who threw his first two touchdown passes in three years. “The emotions of what has taken place will probably hit home for a few guys the next few days, when they realize what’s taken place.”

Cam Newton threw for 232 yards and three touchdowns for the Panthers (3-9), who were informed the game would be played as scheduled while they were heading to Kansas City on Saturday.

That time will come, Weis said.

“I can’t see one reason why he wouldn’t play on Sunday,” Weis said earlier this season. “I think he’s a nice, solid player. I’d want him on my team.”

With 2,482 career rushing yards, Sims sits in eighth place on KU’s alltime rushing list, 1,359 yards behind all-time leader June Henley. Sims’ 27 career touchdowns rank third all-time, one behind Tony Sands for second, and 14 behind Henley.

ed 67 yards rushing, carrying the load with Jonathan Stewart out with an injury.

Steve Smith, Greg Olsen and Louis Murphy caught Carolina’s TD passes.

“You definitely feel for them. What they are going through is tragic,” Olsen said. “But we have a job to do. Our job is to come here and prepare to win. They wouldn’t expect any less.”

time hitting the recruiting trail.

He reemphasized the point in his postgame comments following Saturday’s loss by saying he would shift his focus to recruiting “in about five seconds.”

Weis said he and several assistant coaches would be out recruiting immediately and could be traveling for a while.

“I’m not coming home after the game,” offensive line coach Tim Grunhard said. “I’m driving to Pittsburgh, and then I’m flying to Louisville and then to San Francisco and then to Honolulu, and then I’m back here on Thursday to recruit Kansas City. I’m really looking forward to getting out there on the road and selling the vision that we have for this team.”

Peyton Hillis had a touchdown run for Kansas City (2-10), while Tony Moeaki and Jon Baldwin had touchdown catches.

Ryan Succop hit a pair of field goals, including a 52-yarder with 4:54 left that forced the Panthers try for a touchdown to steal the win.

Instead, they went three-and-out, and the Chiefs were able to run the clock down to 31 seconds before giving back the ball. Newton completed two quick passes to reach the Carolina 38, but his final heave as time expired was caught by Smith short of the end zone.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera greeted Crennel at midfield and gave him a hug.

“They played an inspired football game,” Rivera said.

“They did some really good things, and we have to give them credit, because they suffered through a very difficult time.”

The emotions were raw even after the kickoff.

Kansas City took the opening possession and marched 74 yards in just six plays, including a 21-yard pass to Dwayne Bowe and a 34-yarder to Baldwin that got the Chiefs to the Carolina 2.

Hillis powered in to score the first touchdown for Kansas City on the opening possession of a game since Dec. 26, 2010.

It was also the first touchdown drive engineered

by Quinn since December 2009.

speed and defensive activity left Kansas looking confused, if not overmatched.

Knight found Goodrich for a wide-open threepointer at the top of the key, and KU finally scored at the 17:16 mark, trailing 6-3.

When Goodrich stole the ball and made a nolook pass to Knight in transition for a layup less than two minutes later, Kansas started getting over its ugly start.

Engelman scored six unanswered points for KU in the next two and a half minutes — on a turn-around jumper, an offensive rebound and a layup. That gave the Jayhawks a 13-10 lead and proved they could match Minnesota’s energy.

“For the team, it gives us a lot of confidence to know that we can still come in and maintain a game,” Harper, a junior guard, said.

The Jayhawks have their second road game of the season at 7 p.m. Thursday at Arkansas.

BRIEFLY Division races tighten up On the first weekend of December, four teams made the NFL playoffs.

With four weeks to go in the regular-season, New England owns the AFC East title, Denver has the AFC West and Atlanta won the NFC South.

Houston has not clinched the AFC South, although it has a three-game lead over Indianapolis, but it secured at least a wild-card spot on Sunday.

Baltimore has a twogame lead on Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in the AFC North, and the Bengals still have both division rivals left on their schedule.

San Francisco’s loss in overtime at St. Louis tightened up the NFC West as Seattle defeated Chicago in OT. The 49ers have a 11⁄2-game lead on the Seahawks.

The New York Giants en-

tered the weekend up two games up in the NFC East and they face Washington tonight.

Green Bay and Chicago are tied atop the NFC North.

Staffer kills self at Browns facility BEREA, OHIO — A member of the Cleveland Browns’ grounds crew killed himself at their practice facility, a team spokesman said Sunday.

The man’s body was found Saturday morning at the facility in suburban Cleveland, the same day Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager after earlier killing his girlfriend.

Browns spokesman Neal Gulkis confirmed to the Associated Press that a team employee died of a suicide, but provided no other details.

Dear Annie: I’ve been dating “Gary” for 11 years. He is in his early 50s and has never married. Neither of us has children. Gary and I travel together, go camping and attend major sporting events. We make each other laugh and have fun in the bedroom. We truly are best friends.

My problem is the lack of commitment. Although I’m welcome at Gary’s home as an overnight guest, he refuses to take it to the next level.

If I bring up moving in or getting married, I get silence in return. He doesn’t give any explanation. He just refuses to discuss it.

Gary recently started a new career and is gone for three days every week. There is an excellent chance that he will relocate. We still hook up on weekends, and things are great, but I long for a commitment

and cannot seem to get it.

When filling out his new life insurance policy, Gary listed his elderly mother as his beneficiary. She is quite well off and doesn’t need the money. I would be willing to share everything I own with him, but I guess it isn’t reciprocal.

Maybe I already know the answer and just need to see it in black and white. Is it time to move on? — Life Is Good Dear Life Is Good: Gary enjoys what he has right now. And to a large

Holiday runs amok Fans of offbeat holiday specials should turn to the Cartoon Network. “Regular Show: The Christmas Special” (7 p.m.) has its slacker heroes saving Santa Claus and Christmas in a tightly scripted adventure that borrows both from big-screen summer movies and video games.

For the uninitiated, “Regular” features an astounding cast of characters. Its “stars” are a blue jay named Mordecai and his pal, Rigby, a raccoon. Goofballs in the tradition of Bill and Ted or Beavis and Butt-head, they “work” as groundskeepers at a park, and do anything but. Their friends and colleagues are an assortment of oddities, including a living pinball machine, several human lollipops, a ghost in the shape of a hand, a yeti, a goat and a mumbling muscleman.

Tonight’s special features the voices of Ed Asner as Santa and Thomas Haden Church as an angry elf gone rogue. ‘‘Annoying Orange” (7:30 p.m., Cartoon Network) follows with “Orange Carol.” The terminally immature, yellow-toothed, wisecracking citrus is visited by three spirits (two from the produce department and a marshmallow), who teach him to amend his annoying ways or face future Christmases all alone in the fruit bowl.

Folks looking for something a little more traditional may enjoy “Blake Shelton’s Not So Family Christmas” (9 p.m., NBC).

“The Voice” judge tries his hand at comedy, while performing holiday songs and original tunes. In addition to his solo performances, look for accompaniment from Kelly Clarkson, Miranda Lambert (Shelton’s wife) and Reba McEntire, as well as appearances from Christina Aguilera, Larry the Cable Guy and Jay Leno.

Christmas does not go unnoticed on “Castle” (9 p.m., ABC), as the author-turned-sleuth and Beckett investigate the sudden appearance of a bearded stranger named Kriss Kringle in Central Park.

Tonight’s other highlights

A psychic’s help on a missing persons case makes the team ponder the meaning of it all on the 150th episode of “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox).

The Washington Redskins host the New York Giants on “Monday Night Football” (7:30 p.m., ESPN).

A skilled thief (Michael Madsen) needs medical attention on “The Mob Doctor” (8 p.m., Fox).

Rumer Willis guest-stars on “Hawaii Five-0” (9 p.m., CBS).

extent, so do you. Are you willing to give up the friendship and intimacy with Gary in order to pursue a committed relationship? Could you be content with what you have and not expect more? If Gary is ready to move away and hasn’t suggested that you come along, it means you will not get a commitment from him. Period. Only you can decide whether that means the relationship is a waste of time.

Dear Annie: When my husband and I travel, we often spend a couple of days with friends or family. One night during our stay, we usually go out to dinner. There always seems to be a small verbal battle over who is going to pay the bill.

My husband always insists on paying. He says we want to thank them for their hospitality. On the other hand, when friends or family come to our house and

For Monday, Dec. 3: This year interactions with others generally are very fortunate for you.

It is through these contacts that many opportunities will arise. If you are single, someone very special strolls through your door. If you are attached, you could act like young lovers again.

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 could feel challenged by financial news and/or a partner’s reserved attitude. You have what it takes to break out of this stifling situation within a few hours. Tonight: Let the games begin.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Someone you usually count on could be rather cold toward you right now. If you can’t figure out what gives, it is important that you find out. Tonight: Happily at home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You appear to be robust and quite happy, until a normal encounter becomes too serious for your taste. You might consider distancing yourself from this person, as he or she seems to be the source of a chill in the air. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might not like what a risk brings, but you are very tempted to find out. Make an effort to move past the obvious. Tonight: Treat yourself. You choose what.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You beam, no matter what you do. Others respond in a big way to your efforts. Tonight: Your wish is someone’s command.

we go out to dinner, my husband still insists on paying, saying they are our guests.

When I was growing up, my father was the same way. Is there a rule about who should pick up the tab: the host or the guest? — Tired of Always Footing the Bill Dear Tired: When staying at someone’s home for a weekend or longer, it is good manners to treat your hosts to a meal to thank them for their hospitality.

Your husband should allow your guests to do the same for him. However, if your guests are with you only for a night, it is equally proper for your husband to treat them.

But really, since he’s so stubborn about it, we suggest you let him do ACROSS what he wants.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could feel a bit insecure and might be left wondering just how much others expect of you.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL

McGruder lifts ’Cats The Associated Press

Kansas State 72, S. Carolina-Upstate 53 MANHATTAN — In his most impressive performance of the young season, Kansas State’s Rodney McGruder showed a glimmer of the ability that made him an early candidate for the Naismith and Wooden awards.

He scored 22 points Sunday as the Wildcats defeated South CarolinaUpstate.

The total was the largest for McGruder this season, his first under new Kansas State coach Bruce Weber. After leading the Wildcats in scoring last year, McGruder had not cracked double digits in three of the previous six games.

Against the Spartans, he looked more like the scoring machine the Wildcats need for him to be, shooting at a 50 percent clip.

“They were rhythm shots,” McGruder said. “It wasn’t like I was forcing those shots. It was shots throughout the offense, and I was open.”

Weber saw the performance as a step in the right direction for McGruder, but he would prefer the senior guard shoot even more.

“Obviously, (he’s) getting numbers a little better, starting to feel a little more comfortable,” Weber said. “He’s still — gosh, as he’s got open shots he’s got to take them and let the game come to him.”

Thomas Gipson added 11 points for the Wildcats (6-1), who led 36-20 at halftime and scored the first seven points of the second half. McGruder hit four free throws after drives to the basket and Will Spradling made a three-pointer.

PUBLIC NOTICE CONTINUED FROM 8B

Jodd Maxey scored 13 points for the Spartans (3-5), and Torrey Craig added 12 points. The Spartans struggled to contain Kansas State’s forwards throughout the game.

Later in the second half, Adrian Diaz added three baskets in quick succession to increase the Wildcats’ advantage to 56-31 with 13:21 to play.

After a basket by McGruder gave Kansas State a 58-31 lead, big men D.J. Johnson, Nino Williams, Gipson and Diaz scored the next 14 points for the Wildcats. The Wildcats outrebounded the Spartans 45 to 37.

“They got us rushed and in a hurry, and we started trying to make plays too quickly,” South Carolina-Upstate coach Eddie Payne said. “They get the ball back quicker, they get on offense quicker, they rebound quicker. They rebounded 12 of 20 misses in the first half. That’s how they score. That’s how they’re productive.

Keep moths at bay using natural repellents

Go GREEN

I

remember my mother making the big clothing shift in the spring from upstairs in our closets to garment bags zipped and hanging in the basement, and then reverse in the fall.

Ever the reader, she discovered that mothballs not only smelled but werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best for a house full of children.

Though mothballs are meant to be used in close, airtight containers many times, fumes can leak out. Mothballs contain high concentrations of either naphthalene or para-dichlorobenzene.

Napthalene gives off irritating fumes that can cause respiratory problems, and paradichlorobenzene not only causes respiratory irritation but is also a suspected carcinogen and can cause long-term damage to the kidneys and liver. Because mothballs can contaminate plants, soil, water supplies and air and can harm wildlife, you must treat them as hazardous waste rather than simply putting them in the trash.

Given the damage Tineola bisselliella or clothing moths can do though, you can see why mothballs were invented. Clothing moth larvae feed on keratin, a protein found in the hair, nails and skin of animals, including us. That means theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat not only wool, but also cashmere, fur, leather, feathers and even pet and human hair.

On average, female moths lay 40 to 50 eggs shortly after emerging from the pupal case. They glue visible, bright white eggs onto the threads of fabric. Larvae can live upwards of 35 days and adult moths up to 28. But in the friendly microclimate of our homes, clothing moths can hatch, grow, eat and reproduce all year.

KELLY BARTH Though once mothballs were the only accepted method for keeping your wool rugs, blankets and clothing free from moth holes, many other methods exist.

Plain old housekeeping is your first line of defense. Undisturbed, dust, lint and hair make the perfect place for moths to breed, so vacuuming goes a long way toward removing the problem. Pay careful attention to rugs, carpets, draperies, furniture cushions, corners, moldings, along baseboards, on shelves, inside closets and drawers, and around heat registers, where hair collects. After youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve vacuumed, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to throw out the bag.

Sprinkling boric acid where they might hide is another way to discourage clothing moths. Unless consumed or inhaled in large quantities, boric acid wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t harm either humans or pets.

Another obvious yet crucial step is to hand-

wash or sustainably dry-clean your woolens.

Clothing moths are particularly drawn to food stains, sweat and dead skin, so even if a garment appears clean, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to clean it before storing it. This is especially important to do when you bring home clothing from thrift stores or yard sales, as used clothing can contain moth eggs you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch.

Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve washed your woolens, seal them in airtight containers or garment bags.

Though the jury is still out on the repellent qualities of cedar, many still swear by it. Just make sure you often sand the wood you enclose in the container and use cedar oil to refresh it.

You can also enclose handmade sachets of cloves, thyme, fresh rosemary, lavender, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and/or eucalyptus.

Stashing the sachets in dresser drawers and hanging them in your closet can also repel moths and give your clothing a sweet scent.

Sunlight is a primary enemy of clothing moths. If you periodically shake your woolens and hang them in the sun, eggs will die and the larvae will drop from the fabrics to find protection in the darkness. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why removing a closet door or installing solar lights in a closet can be effective protection as well.

Freezing temperatures also kills clothing moth larvae and eggs. You can either hang woolens outside on a freezing day or pop them in the freezer for a few days.

If clothing moths got to a sweater before you did, you can try repurposing the untouched areas. Also, check out the following blog for repairing small holes with embroidery floss: http://ljw.bz/QM2LUx. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kelly Barth can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Farrier’s job parts shoe salesman, therapist, technician

BY ADAM STRUNK

I

magine working under a 1 ton, million-dollar vehicle.

Now imagine the vehicle can kick you in the head if you put the tire on wrong.

Welcome to the life of farrier Charley Mattingly.

Six days a week, sometimes 12 hours a day, Mattingly trims and shoes horse hooves, from humble farm animals to top show horses in the area for the American Royal horse show. And he takes pride in being good.

“Anyone can write the great American novel, yeah right. God doesn’t come down one day and put some holy water on your head and you become a good writer.

You have to work hard,” he said. “I’m totally dependent on my wits, how I handle my horses and the quality of work I do. If I don’t do a good job, I lose money. Each day I have to prove myself.”

Mattingly describes his job as a mix between a podiatrist, shoe salesman, therapist and technician.

“It takes about three to five years to get good at and a lifetime to master,” he said.

Nailing a shoe on a horse might sound simple to some, but the process is complicated. Before Mattingly begins to handle the horse, he must first inspect it. He said in his 32 years in the business, he has picked up a feel for the subtleties of the animal.

“A horse will tell you what they are going to do before they do it,” he said. “We have a dangerous job, that’s part of it, but you use common sense.”

If an animal isn’t well behaved, he’ll turn it away. Mattingly didn’t care to elaborate if he had ever been injured by a horse. He just said it was never bad enough to make him quit.

When he feels safe with the horse, usually when the animal acts comfortable and licks its lips, he starts on the hooves.

Mattingly said a horse hoof is like a person’s fingernail.

Every six to eight weeks they need a trim. To do this, he takes a “big ol’ nippers” and cuts off the excess growth on the hoof. He files the horse’s foot to the correct shape.

Next comes the tricky part: shoeing. Not all horses need shoes — if they are spending all day in a soft pasture, for instance. But for those navigating rocky or hard terrain, shoes are a must.

Mattingly carries a portable gas forge in his truck and custom fits each shoe, typically steel or aluminium, to the horse’s foot. When the shoe is a good fit, he nails it in. He describes a horse’s hoof wall as the same consistency as wood. It can be nailed. It can be drilled. It can be shaped.

Doing so correctly, however, requires attention to detail.

Mattingly said about .015 inches separates a good nail placement, one that will hold the shoe, and a nail that will lame the horse. Mattingly takes this seriously.

“You wear your shoes for six hours a day, then you go home and change. I put those shoes on, and he (the horse) has those on day and night for six to eight weeks. How I trim that hoof and how I shoe the horse makes all the difference in how comfortable the horse will be,” he said.

FOR 32 YEARS, LAWRENCE RESIDENT CHARLEY MATTINGLY has been forging steel and shoeing horses as a farrier. Instead of his customers coming to him, he meets them at horse shows and works from his truck, which is fully outfitted with all the necessities for doing his job. In this photo, Mattingly shapes a steel shoe. At right, his forger, which is attached to the truck, heats the shoes for shaping.

After the shoe is done, Mattingly steps back to admire his work.

“When I work on a horse it takes me two, two and a half hours,” he said “When I get done, it’s beautiful.

There’s a feeling of accomplishment.”

This accomplishment helps make up for the toll the job takes on the body.

“It’s cold in the wintertime and it’s hot in the summertime,” he said “I’ve bled gallons of blood. It hurts you.”

But at 5 foot 5 inches and 140 pounds, he said he is the perfect build to spend most of his day bent over, something that has kept him in the business at age 60.

“Most of the time, I didn’t get picked for sports and it hurt my feelings as a kid, and now it’s funny because I’m the right size,” he said.

Mattingly’s entry into such a business followed a long path. He grew up in Evansville, Ind., and fell in love with horses visiting his uncle’s farm near the Kentucky border. Down there, horses and horse racing are part of the culture.

His uncle would take him to the race track, where he would talk to the track farriers as a boy. He never thought he would make it a living, however.

“If you told me when I was 21 that I would be doing this for 32 years, I would have laughed at you.”

After a stint at Indiana University, Mattingly grew tired of

the school and met a man with a doctorate degree in philosophy and a master’s degree in Russian who had made his living as a farrier.

This acquaintance got Mattingly interested in horse shoeing.

Mattingly then went to farrier school in Oklahoma for a year, studied under a master farrier “who could walk on water” and started his trade. On a visit to Lawrence to see his girlfriend, who later became his wife, he grew to like the area and settled down.

He then built up his business, establishing himself as one of the area’s top farriers. The farrier business relies mostly on word of mouth. There is no licensing process, and it’s looked down upon in the business to advertise.

“All the business I have gotten I’ve earned,” he said. “I’m my own boss. It’s all incumbent on me to do the best I can. I do the beginning and then I finish it. When I get done, I look at it and say ‘I like this.’”

Since becoming established, he has trained 10 different farriers and made a pretty good life for himself.

“I love what I do. A lot of people hate their jobs. I always tell them ‘Do you want to be in a nursing home living with regrets?’” he said. “I don’t have a degree in philosophy and am not a philosopher, but I have read Jean-Paul Sartre and some of the greats. Carpe diem. You have to seize the day.”

DIY STOCKING STUFFERS These small gifts for toddlers don’t take much time

BY MERYL CARVERALLMOND

W

hile I love the tradition of stuffing the stockings, it sometimes gets hard to think of items that are useful, fun and not too expensive.

While I could easily make a stocking full of cheap toys for my 1 ½ year old son, I’d be cursing them — each time I step on one or have to pick it up — all the way into the New Year.

That being said, like most mamas, I can’t spend a fortune on stocking stuffers.

Nor do I have long stretches of quiet time to myself to meticulously make things. If it can’t be done in nap or two, it can’t be done.

The following three projects are my answer to this problem. Each one can be made quickly and inexpensively. Further, they’re all toddler-tested to be fun.

PEOPLE FLIP BOOK This one is fabulous to keep in the car for those moments when you just need a distraction. You’ll probably have to read the book with your toddler a few times, but before long he or she will be flipping though the pages, naming all the friends and family.

To make the book, pick out pictures of your toddler with all of his or her favorite people — grandma, his best auntie, or even a pet or two. Then, using the computer software of your choice, add the name of each person to the photo in bright, fun letters. I also made a cover with a picture of my son and “Knox’s Peeps” as a title.

Print the photos yourself, or have them printed. Then laminate them to make the book more durable.

After I laminated the photos, I noticed that the corners were a bit sharp, so I rounded them off with scissors. Punch holes in the upper corner of each photo, and join them together with a big binder ring or key ring.

Time: About 1 hour of active work time. Cost: For the print size I chose, prints were 29 cents each and the lamination was about $10.

A PEOPLE FLIP BOOK, ABOVE, helps a toddler recognize family and pets. Photos are labeled, laminated and put on a binder ring. AT LEFT IS A FABRIC SCRAP SHAPE-MATCHING GAME with fabric shapes glued onto round wooden tiles.

Meryl Carver-Allmond Photos/Special to the Journal World

FABRIC SCRAP SHAPE-MATCHING GAME As soon as he learned his shapes, my toddler was so eager to show me his new

knowledge, proudly shouting out “octagon” and “circle” every time we saw one.

Take that new skill up a notch with this little shape matching game.

To make it, purchase 12 round, wood-

en tiles from the craft store. (They’re in the wood crafting section, and make sure you buy a size that’s big enough not to be a choking hazard.)

Then, dig into your fabric scrap bin for 6 bright fabrics. Don’t have a scrap bin?

Find a few holey shirts or outgrown pants instead.

Using sharp scissors, cut out shapes to fit on the tiles. I did a circle, a square, a rectangle, an oval, a star and a heart.

Center the shapes on the tiles, and brush over a coating of glue or, as I did, glittery Modge Podge. Tuck them all into a small bag or box for storage.

Time: 30 minutes. Cost: The tiles were 30 cents each. I already had the glue, and the fabric was free.

HOMEMADE BATH CRAYONS Fair warning: Do not give these to your child the night before he is to be a ring bearer at your cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding or some other important function that requires pristine hands. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stain the tub or much of the skin, but the little fingers holding them will be a bit more colorful by the end of the bath.

That being said, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very little thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more fun on a dull Monday night than announcing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Color bath!â&#x20AC;? and watching your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face light up.

To make the bath crayons, head to the craft store for a package of melt-and-pour soap.

(Note: I tried to do this with plain, bar soap, but the crayons never solidified correctly.) While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there, swing through the cake decorating aisle and get three jars of gel food coloring.

Remember, you only need to buy red, blue, and yellow be-

cause you can mix them to get the secondary colors.

Follow the directions on the soap to melt it. Meanwhile, set up six containers to mix your food coloring. Add 2-3 teaspoons of color to each container. You can eyeball the amounts, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to use most of the food coloring to get vibrant crayons, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t skimp.

Once the soap is melted, pour equal amounts into each container. Working quickly, mix the soap with the food coloring, and pour the soap out into a mold. While you can find fancy shaped molds at the craft store, I just used my ice cube trays. The shape ended up being perfect for my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small hands to grab hold of.

Give the crayons a few hours to solidify, then pop them out of the molds and enjoy.

Time: 30 minutes active work time.

Meaningful career not dependent on salary Dear Dr. Wes and Katie: I was troubled by one sentence in your column on drunken driving. You described Jordan as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a good student who I suspect will eventually knock back a six-figure salary.â&#x20AC;? I think you wanted to say you expected Jordan to be productive/have a rewarding career/ do good things â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something more than, even other than, financial success. The message that making money equals success is rampant, and I believe we should counter it every chance we get.

I enjoy your column and always learn something.

Katie: I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree more with your fear that adolescents are forced to make too many life decisions based on future financial worries. A bulging salary isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth spending oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life waiting desperately for retirement.

Unfortunately, some income is necessary for survival. A career should have meaning both to the individual and within the market. Finding a way to combine what we love doing and what will support us over a lifetime is a key point of postsecondary education.

In November, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor made a cameo appearance on Sesame Street to discuss this, telling pink Muppet and aspiring princess Abby Cadabby, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretending to be a princess is fun, but it is definitely not a career.â&#x20AC;? She went on to describe the hard work and training that goes into establishing a meaningful career.

Abbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointment didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last long because she soon found a new goal to pursue: a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Though no one mentioned the low jobplacement rates among American law schools, Sotomayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice was valuable and heartfelt. Yet when we try to replace childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreams with concerns about

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT the â&#x20AC;&#x153;real world,â&#x20AC;? we risk pushing them toward careers that weigh more in dollars and public opinion than in personal satisfaction.

I, like Abby Cadabby, once dreamed of being a princess. I read books about princesses and found that I loved literature so much that I began to read other genres and write stories of my own. Now, reading and writing are integral parts of my future plans, though neither activity is sweeping in the cash these days.

Success isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a measure of money or social prominence, but of how people put their talents to use for themselves and society.

Dr. Wes: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising how often this is coming up lately. Unfortunately, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jordanâ&#x20AC;? will do anything good or meaningful, just that he or she is ambitious, smart and skilled in an area of study that generates large salaries.

Jordan is also interested in traveling to Eastern Europe and working in an or-

phanage, as did former Double Take columnist Ben Markley. Each of us who has the means should give back some of what we are given, and I appreciate that Jordan has that as part of a wider life plan.

One can do meaningful things without a large salary or traveling to Romania. Family Promise right here in Lawrence needs your help working with homeless families year-round, and there are numerous other examples of deserving organizations here and in every community. However, kids today donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the option of pursuing a career that ONLY represents their highest ideals, lest they end up on the receiving end of these charitable services.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually not that difficult to strike a balance between these two demands.

Teens wanting to pursue a financially viable career might consider geology and resource extraction. America is about to achieve something unimaginable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; energy self-sufficiency through natural gas fracking and lateral oil drilling. This opens 20 years to 30 years of career options in related industries including accounting, law, engineering and business management.

But what if your child opposes fracking because she worries about its environmental impact? Great. There will be plenty of that work to do also in terms of environmental engineering, civil litigation and public policy. And part of that selfsufficiency comes from energy conservation, another growth industry.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not trying to force kids into any career. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only suggesting you start by examining growth trends (available through the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics) and find something within a viable trend that is personally meaningful. That way our kids can support themselves across a lifetime while getting up every day excited to go to work.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Boy Meets Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stars reunite for Disney Channel sequel

BY YVONNE VILLARREAL, LOS ANGELES TIMES

L

ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cory & Topanga 4Everâ&#x20AC;? is no longer a silly scribble in a notebook. Disney Channel confirmed Tuesday that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developing a spinoff of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s ABC comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boy Meets Worldâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that the original showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central couple will be back.

After weeks of rumors (that had twentysomethings squealing), the network acknowledged that it is working on a pilot called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girl Meets World,â&#x20AC;? a sequel to the popular sitcom that aired from 1993 through 2000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be a father! Well, on TV at least. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Boy Meets Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sequel is officially happening,â&#x20AC;? Ben Savage tweeted Monday. And Danielle Fishel posted a blog on her Tumblr page making her involvement official.

OS

Savage and Fishel will reprise their roles as Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence, the Ross and Rachel of the TGIF crowd. More than a decade later, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the parents of a 13-year-old daughter named Riley, the protagonist of the new show. A nationwide casting search to fill that role is under way.

The pilot is being produced by Michael Jacobs, who was the executive producer of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boy Meets Worldâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in addition to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charles in Chargeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Two Dads.â&#x20AC;?

Although the news has â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boy Meets Worldâ&#x20AC;? fans in a frenzy, the new show is still in the development phase, so there are no guarantees about its future.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also no word on whether any other familiar faces might pop up â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has anyone started the Shawn (Rider Strong) and Eric (Will Friedle) and Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) petitions?

Learning is in even when schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out Day camps combine art, science teaching

BY SARA SHEPHERD

I

n a sunny studio on the second floor of the Lawrence Arts Center, a dozen or so kids are huddled around two tables, drawing, cutting, taping and tracing.

Lawrence cut-paper artist Angie Pickman leads students through making their own tessellations, which they will soon finish by drawing whatever theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inspired to draw inside the repeated forms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making a lion,â&#x20AC;? 5-year-old Quentin Mitchell announces, using markers to outline a green body, then pink arms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at my lion!â&#x20AC;?

Whether they realize it or not, the children at the arts centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Space Camp are using art to learn science skills â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even though schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out for the day.

The camps, offered on no-school days such as those reserved for parent-teacher conferences or teacher planning, aim to give parents who work during the day an educational, purposeful and fun alternative to taking the day off or trying to get a baby sitter, said the arts centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curator of education, Laurie McLane-Higginson.

McLane-Higginson said art and science are natural pairings.

For each camp day, the arts center chooses a curriculum that brings together a key element of art and a science concept. She said activities aim to foster skills kids need, such as critical thinking, problem-solving and innovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, kids learn better when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not only learning visually but kinetically,â&#x20AC;? McLane-Higginson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And sometimes if it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense seeing it on

McLane-Higginson said the integrated science and art curriculum meets national art education and science standards.

The recent session with the tessellations was titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Evolution Revolution.â&#x20AC;? Art principles were symmetry

and pattern; the science concepts were biology, metamorphosis and mathematics.

The goal was to have students put the concepts of symmetry and pattern to use creating handmade animation devices such as zoetropes and flip-books, and to learn about art-based mathematical patterns and designs such as M.C. Escherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tessellation drawings.

A YOUNG GIRL looks over her puzzle during Art Space Camp at Lawrence Arts Center. Art Space Camp takes place on no-school days, allowing children to continue learning and parents to forego a baby sitter. Enrollment is open for spring classes.

“Of course, kids learn better when they’re not only learning visually but kinetically. And sometimes if it didn’t make sense seeing it on paper, it’s going to make sense if you’re doing it with your body.”

— Laurie McLaneHigginson, curator of education at Lawrence Arts Center

This fall’s five Art Space Camp days, including “Evolution Revolution,” included visits to the Kansas University Natural History Museum.

“We got to see lots of things, like dinosaur bones, and we studied things like camouflage,” said Two Roads O’Leary, 6, who was making tessellations across the table from Quentin.

Two Roads said she especially liked drawing and that, at least in her opinion, the Art Space Camps were more fun than regular school.

Enrollment is now open for spring sessions, the first of which is, “Mission Impossible: Valentine Secret Codes and Cards.”

In that session, kids will employ the art concepts of pattern and variation to help learn mathematical sequences.

Activities will include printmaking, dance and choreography.

Jenny Skillman enrolled her sons, 5-year-old Elliot and 7-year-old Ben, in all the Art Space Camps this fall.

“If you can’t take a vacation day every time there’s a no-school day, you have to find an alternative,” said Skillman, who, along with her husband, works full time.

Skillman said she liked how the Art Space Camps fostered her sons’ artistic abilities but provided more structure than a traditional art class alone.

“They are both really creative little guys,” she said. “They love art, they love to draw. I like that the classes at the arts center incorporate science and math, and other things, into the creative curriculum.”

Eating disorders: A non-psychological perspective

E

ating disorders are devastating disorders capable of causing incredible suffering and premature death.

The underpinnings to anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and all the sub-clinical manifestations of these struggles are deeply rooted in our humanity, engaging with the most unconscious aspects of our nature.

No one would argue with the idea that these are complex struggles that manifest in a variety of ways with a variety of potentiating forces. The complexity often leads the sufferer, caregivers and professionals into heady and potentially misguided notions about the causal point.

As mental health professionals, we have worked almost exclusively with this population a combined 40 years. We have gone through many transformations in our understandings of the disorders and approaches to intervention. We have had to let go of many notions trained into us by books written by self-proclaimed experts, interactions with other eating disorder professionals and our own bias-driven professional views.

It is dangerous to put eating disordered individuals in a box that suggests it is driven by their psychology.

Only one in 10 individuals struggling with an eating disorder access treatment.

Over the years, we have been struck by the years that some individuals will suffer before seeking help. When asked why they delayed, many answered that it was due to the shame they felt about their behavior. Often we would hear that they didn’t want to learn that their mother or father was to blame. They were afraid of being told that they are crazy.

This is one tragic result of the proliferation of the misnomer that these are psychologically driven disorders. It seems to deepen the stigma that the individual experiences.

Our current understanding is that the

Mind

MATTERS

JENA AND ED BLOCH onset of eating disorders is NOT driven by individual psychology, but instead by a physiological response to behaviors that are intended to mitigate the relationship between an individual and food.

Our modern food supply coupled with an unhealthy cultural drive towards thinness IS at the root of the initiation of eating disorder behaviors. The diet, the skipped meal, the purging of a large meal, all done in a misguided effort to avoid weight gain, are all initial behaviors that then potentially lead to an eating disorder. What develops from these initial behaviors is rooted in our brain (mostly that very primitive part of our brain, the hypothalamus), not our psychology.

To place emphasis on our psychology is like fiddling with the thermostat in response to global climate change. It is a reaction, not a response.

It is essential that the first approach be to stop the behaviors. The importance of this cannot be overstated. Eating disorders

are progressive disorders, progressively damaging to the body and potentially lethal. Time is of the essence.

And again, most professionals who have worked with eating disorders will tell you that the large percentage of mental health symptoms that appear with eating disorders, e.g. depression, anxiety, self loathing, etc., significantly diminish or ameliorate when the eating disorder behavior is managed.

Working on the psychology of an individual actively engaged in an eating disorder is like working with an alcoholic actively engaged in drinking. Psychological insight is limited when the brain is starved, muddled or otherwise compromised. Under such conditions our minds are not clear or capable of the level of insight and processing required to initiate and maintain change.

Should we then ignore the psychological symptoms that accompany an eating disorder? If we think of the psychological symptoms as noise, then it may be appropriate to reduce some of that noise and perhaps ease the main work of learning to manage the behaviors.

However, the view that the psychological is the driving energy behind the behaviors may mislead everyone involved into thinking that resolution of underlying psychological experiences will enable resolution of the eating disorder.

The inverse has been proven time and again to be true. It is the rare circumstance that psychological interventions seem to lead to a reduction is eating disorder behaviors.

A revealing study was conducted in 19441945 and published in 1950. The study is commonly referred to as the starvation experiment and is well documented in the book “The Great Starvation Experiment: Ancel Keys and the Men Who Starved for Science” by Todd Tucker. Many descriptions of it are accessible via an Internet search. It has

never been duplicated because of the sheer agony experienced by the participants that would never be allowed today.

The study has much to offer, and the information is far too voluminous to detail in this brief column. In short, the study showed that many of the psychological symptoms commonly thought to be underpinnings to eating disorders actually were caused by the eating disorders and were mostly ameliorated upon the participants return to a healthy nutritional intake and normal weight.

Education is the essential component in intervention. Explaining why the individual is experiencing the psychological war resulting from the eating disorder is to relieve them of confusion and fear and allow them to place the emphasis on changing their relationship to food. This can most definitely be done with a nutritionist, and/or another professional with the information.

In fact, the refeeding process may require dietitian input and perhaps a physician as well. Often the nutritionist is viewed as the devil (not because they miss the point, but precisely because they get it), so it is helpful to have other professionals supporting the process.

In addition, it is helpful to have loved ones educated to ensure the message is consistent and they know how to support the process. With kids, the most promising interventions involve the family (see Maudsley Approach) who are viewed as the most capable of helping.

After regaining a sound nutritional state and the eating disorder behavior is sufficiently managed, if the individual then wants to deeply explore their relationship with their mother and father, so be it. We can, perhaps, all benefit from that exploration; or not.

Keep kids safe in the kitchen

( + ' % ) %

BY KARREY BRITT, LAWRENCE-DOUGLAS COUNTY HEALTH DEPT.

A

s the holiday cooking season approaches, Safe Kids Kansas reminds parents and caregivers to check the kitchen for preventable hazards and to supervise children at all times in the kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to keep cabinets closed and locked, and to store hazardous substances out of reach, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough.

The most important safety precaution in the kitchen is constant, close, attentive supervision,â&#x20AC;? said Cherie Sage, state director for Safe Kids Kansas Whether a child is helping an adult cook or simply watching, he or she should always be actively supervised, which means that the child is in sight and in reach at all times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burns from spills, steam, hot surfaces and flame can be especially devastating injuries,â&#x20AC;? Sage said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because young children have thinner skin than adults, they burn more severely and at lower temperatures.â&#x20AC;?

Scald burns from hot liquid or steam are the most common type of burns among children ages 4 and under. A child will suffer a third-degree burn after just three seconds of exposure to 140-degree water.

Safe Kids Kansas recommends these precautions against kitchen burns:

Never leave a hot stove unattended.

(Unattended food on the stove is the No. 1 cause of home fires.)

Never hold a child while cooking or carrying hot items.

Cook on back burners whenever possible, and turn all handles toward the back of the stove.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow loose-fitting clothing in the kitchen.

Keep hot foods and liquids away from the edges of counters and tables. Be especially careful around tablecloths â&#x20AC;&#x201D; children can pull hot dishes down onto themselves.

Tie up the electrical cords of small appliances. A toddler playing with a dangling cord can pull a toaster or microwave down from a countertop.

In addition to hot surfaces, hot liquids and sharp objects, the other major hazard in the kitchen is poison. Store potentially hazardous goods, such as cleaning products and alcohol (including many baking extracts), in locked cabinets out of reach.

Also, install a carbon monoxide detector to alert everyone to get out of the house in the event of a buildup of the odorless toxic gas given off by fuel-burning appliances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know your own children. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give them knives or let them handle anything hot until they have shown the maturity and coordination to do it safely,â&#x20AC;? Sage said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some children mature faster than others, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to parents to use good judgment about each childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capabilities.â&#x20AC;?

Style FOR THE AGES

}

Everywhere we turn, society tells us to buy, buy, buy, and that quantity will always trump quality. It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been this way.

VAUGHN SCRIBNER

Seek timeless, quality, practical gifts I find myself writing this column in the midst of the most consumer-driven time of the year. Shoppers trample each other on the ominously titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Friday,â&#x20AC;? and the Internet explodes during â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cyber Monday.â&#x20AC;?

Everywhere we turn, society tells us to buy, buy, buy, and that quantity will always trump quality.

It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been this way. Extensive holiday giftgiving, in fact, is a fairly recent phenomenon in America, one no doubt driven by the explosion of consumerism in the 1950s.

In the colonial period (my area of study), Christmas was a time for feasting and celebration more than giftgiving. Elites like Thomas Jefferson gave toys as gifts to children and more practical gifts like clothing, books or cash tips to servants.

This being a column directed toward the cultural history of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashion, you might think that I would embrace the season of bargains, plenty and trends. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite the case though â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while I do wholeheartedly support finding a bargain, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far more important to make a practical purchase.

What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really saying is that we need to get back to our roots during the Christmas season. Instead of buying the man in your life a bunch of things he really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need, do your best to purchase quality, timeless and practical pieces that will last him a lifetime.

I know, I know, easier said than done. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll narrow my

o

ot

h kP

oc

iSt

suggestions down to a few fashionable pieces that every man could use.

First off, look into a quality pocket knife. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the same Swiss Army knife for more than six years now, and it is still always in my pocket. Whether I need to snip a

hanging thread or open a stubborn box, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m constantly amazed at how often my pocket knife proves its purpose.

The sturdy pair of scissors and pen knife included can do wonders and will hold up with little-to-no maintenance. These days, Victorinox makes a pocket knife for every lifestyle and includes everything in their knives from a flash drive to a bottle opener.

I would also recommend looking into a sturdy, stylish and practical leather good like a belt or wallet. Pass up your local J.C. Penney on this one, and instead get into contact with a local leather worker or an online leather shop. Here you can find hand-tooled leather goods for competitive prices that will only get better with more use and will NEVER go out of style.

Just make sure that you buy either full- or top-grain leather goods with sturdy stitching â&#x20AC;&#x201D; these are qualities that ensure a long life for leather. Even better, by supporting leatherworkers throughout the U.S., youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also helping to keep alive one of our oldest traditions in clothing manufacture.

What if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shopping for the guy who already has everything? Consider making a donation in his name to a charity or fund that he supports. The holiday season is, after all, about giving, and classic style is just as much about what you do as what you wear. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vaughn Scribner can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

How do hipsters celebrate Hanukkah? Ironically

BY LEANNE ITALIE, ASSOCIATED PRESS

N

EW YORK — These are a few of Chicky Winkleman’s favorite Hanukkah things: ironic, ugly sweaters adorned with Stars of David, his roommate’s Christmas tree and making latkes, alone in the afternoon.

The vegetarian living in Burlington, Vt., knows of what he speaks when it comes to marking the eight-day holiday, hipster style. He’s co-founder with older brother Duckie of hipsterjew.com, which ran a make-your-own menorah contest last year and enjoys about 50,000 page views a month, presumably among like-minded young Jews.

The problem with hipster Hanukkah, Winkleman said, whose given name is Charles, is once you identify out loud as a hipster, you’ve likely lost the descriptor for life. But the preschool teacher who dabbles in standup comedy sees a variety of differences between regular Hanukkah and a hipster’s touch.

On food: “There are latkes, but it’s usually never with people. I’m usually alone making latkes one day. It’s a little depressing, but it has to be to get the true hipster Jew Hanukkah experience. It’s gotta be a little bit lonely.”

On the emerging tradition of ugly Hanukkah sweaters (see Geltfiend.com): “The sweaters are a way for us to get involved with the whole Christmas celebration but still separate ourselves from it.” They come with Stars of David and menorahs inside brown circles that look like chocolate gelt.

On an idea his brother (real name Ari) is working on: “You know those big saint candles? He’s working on a Jewish version with Woody Allen and, I don’t know, maybe Barbra Streisand.”

Fedoras for yarmulkes, Fair Trade olive oil or candles via the wax of locally sourced bees — there are lots of ways to pull off a hipster’s Hanukkah, even if you’re not an active member of the tribe’s subset. Or a tribesman of any kind.

Sage Saturn, 22, puts the “ish” in Jewish. He’s fresh out of college, not a Jew but hangs out with many and works as a graphic designer for Moderntribe.com, a site loaded with ways to dive into hipster Hanukkah.

“I think more people like me are into exploring what they don’t know,” said Saturn, who dumped his hard-to-spell real

names for two way-cool made-up ones.

Among his favorite Hanukkah things: a menorah made of recycled bicycle chain.

Saturn’s boss, Moderntribe co-founder Jennie Rivlin Roberts, sees a whole lot of hipster in what she sells. There’s an insulated wine bottle holder made to look like a paper bag and a two-for-one deal on those boxes of word fridge magnets — one with Yiddish poetry and the other for bike lovers (hipsters love their fixies).

At 55, Shel Horowitz is more hippie than hipster. The expert on green and ethi-

cal marketing hipped up his Hanukkah more than a decade ago, when he moved with his wife and two small kids into a 1743 farmhouse in the western Massachusetts town of Hadley.

“We have beautiful starry skies,” he said. “We light four menorahs, put them in different windows and walk around the outside of the house to look at them while singing ‘Oh Chanukah.’ It’s just a special thing we do as a family.”

His kids, now 19 and 24, still make their way home for the annual walk around the house. For Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year, you can find the Horowitzes up a mountain and in a stream near their solarized colonial.

Rafi Samuels-Schwartz, managing editor of the ‘zine Heeb, “the new Jew review,” has a few thoughts on hipster Hanukkah:

“Jewish hipsters make their latkes out of organic, locally sourced potatoes from their CSA of choice,” he wryly observed.

“They can go with standard recipes, or think globally with Mexican, Indian or Korean versions.”

“While averse to wearing yarmulkes themselves, hipsters make sure their pets are dressed appropriately. That said, those Hanukkah sweaters from Geltfiend are pretty great.”

“Forget ‘A Christmas Story’ or ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’” Samuels-Schwartz urged. “Jewish hipsters watch Hanukkah horror movies,” he said, with fans of the genre anxiously anticipating the slasher “Hanukkah.”

“Until the day ‘Hanukkah’ is actually made, they usually stick with Jonathan Kesselman’s ‘The Hebrew Hammer,’” he said.

As for the actual Festival of Lights, Samuels-Schwartz said: “For a while, Jewish hipsters celebrated Festivus, but it’s just become way too commercial. Now they just celebrate Christmas.”

leenex is a brand of facial tissue, but the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kleenexâ&#x20AC;? is often used to reference all types of facial tissue.

The use of a brand name in place of the product description is common in the hardware industry. Here are a few proprietary eponyms you may or may not know: Eponym 1: Vise Grips are locking pliers used in place of standard pliers when more torque or grip is required for the job. The adjustment screw in the base of the handle allows the pliers to be preset to a specific size, and the lever lock allows for repeated gripping and releasing of various objects.

Eponym 2: Crescent Wrench usually refers to an adjustable wrench. The adjustment screw is located at the base of the jaws. Adjustable wrenches are an alternative to open-end box wrenches.

Eponym 3: Channellock typically refers to groove joint pliers. Groove joint pliers come in many different sizes and are often used in plumbing applications to remove large pipe fittings.

Eponym 4: Jorgenson Clamp often refers to a wooden handscrew used in woodworking applications. These clamps are noted for their unique wood jaws and their ability to provide greater distribution of pressure.

Eponym 6: Dremel tools are popular rotary tools used for small jobs and precision work. Although several other manufacturers make similar rotary tools, the word Dremel is often used in reference to any brand of rotary tool.

Eponym 7: Shop Vacs are wet/dry vacuums used to suck up water, sawdust and work-site debris.

Eponym 8: Weed Eaters are string trimmers, both gas and electric, and the brand name is sometimes used to refer to blade-type trimmers as well.

Eponym 9: Sharkbite fittings are brass and plastic push-on plumbing fittings used on copper, PVC and cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing. These fittings revolutionized the plumbing industry with their simple technology and multiple-application uses.

Eponym 10: Molly Bolts are expansiontype hollow wall anchors used to hang objects on wallboard. The term Molly Bolt sometimes also refers to toggle bolts, a stronger type of hollow wall anchor with butterfly-like winged nuts. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Linda Cottin can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Experts: Holiday travel with pets is worth hassle

BY SUE MANNING, ASSOCIATED PRESS

L See answer next Monday!

Special to the Journal-World

DAISY WAS RESCUED from the Jefferson County Humane Society

by Kimberly Williams and her family. Daisy is a Red Heeler mix. She is a very smart dog and already fetching the newspaper every morning. Williams submitted the photo. Got a picture for Pet Post? Bring in or mail a Pet Post photo and some information about your pet to the Journal-World, 645 New Hampshire St., Lawrence, KS 66044 or email it to go@ljworld.com.

OS ANGELES — Travel for humans during holidays is tough enough: long lines, crowds everywhere, extra bags full of presents. Throw a pet in the mix, and it’s a recipe for disaster.

But Sheron Long, a frequent traveler and author of “Dog Trots Globe — To Paris and Provence,” say it’s worth the trouble.

“Every trip was better when Chula could be with us,” she said of her Shetland sheepdog. “She was so excited, I could imagine her dog’s eye view of the world. It causes you to explore and go see different things and meet people.”

The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates more than 2 million pets and other animals are transported by air each year. Pets aren’t allowed on Amtrak trains, Greyhound buses or cruise lines, but they can go on many regional train, bus and boat lines.

Most four-legged carry-on passengers are dogs, but some airlines allow rabbits, birds and other small animals. Experts say before including a pet in travel plans, consider whether it would enjoy the experience.

“Some dogs don’t like to travel; some love it,” said Kelly E. Carter, the pet travel expert for AOL’s Paw Nation and a Chihuahua owner. “You have to know your pet.”

For eligible cats, as well as dogs, airlines have size requirements for pets in the cabin, so a small pet must fit in a carrier that can be stowed under a seat and larger ones must be checked in. Long’s dog weighs 30 pounds, so 9-year-old Chula has to fly in cargo.

TIPS FOR TRAVELING WITH PETS Traveling with a pet isn’t easy, since there are more rules than destinations. Kelly E. Carter, president of thejetsetpets.com and AOL’s resident pet travel expert, and Sheron Long, frequent international traveler and author of “Dog Trots Globe — To Paris and Provence,” share their tips:
