Reassessment of voter registration proposed

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Several days after the Nov. 6 general election, Douglas County officials gathered in the courthouse for the official canvass of votes.

One of the main tasks during that meeting was to sift

through stacks of provisional ballots that were cast by people who either showed up at the wrong polling place or whose names, for whatever reason, did not show up on the county’s official voter registration list.

Among the more common problems, Douglas County

Clerk Jamie Shew said at the time, involved people who thought they had registered when they obtained their drivers licenses. But in many cases, he said, the information did not get transferred from the Department of Revenue to local voter registration rolls.

It was at that point in the meeting that County Commission Chairman Mike Gaughan asked a question for which no one had an immediate answer: Given the new laws in Kansas requiring people to show photo identification at the polls, is there really any

need for the state to continue requiring a separate voter registration process?

“Right now, the voters are penalized for errors made somewhere in the system,” Gaughan said during an interview later. “Whether Please see VOTING, page 2A Gaughan

JIM MAHONEY TOUCHES UP A CLASSROOM WALL with paint Wednesday at the Ballard Center, 708 Elm St. Mahoney volunteers his handyman skills at the center.

Handyman ‘vital’ to Ballard Center Editor’s note: This is one in a series of occasional stories about volunteers in our community.

By Micki Chestnut

A former math teacher, Barry Richards is good with numbers. But the chief operating officer of the Ballard Center’s mind is boggled when he tries to compute how much money Jim Mahoney has saved the center since becoming the organization’s volunteer handyman in 2010.

“The amount is astronomical. Five figures,” Richards says as he rattles

off the list of projects big and little that Mahoney has done at the organization’s three sites — Ballard Early Education Learning Center, Mount Hope Learning Center and Penn House — since Mahoney answered the nonprofit’s call for a volunteer to repair some stairs at Penn House.

It took Mahoney a year to finish those stairs. Not because he wasn’t working hard but because additional maintenance emergencies kept popping up that trumped the stairs repair, liked a backed-up toilet at the Ballard Early Education Center, which is indeed a crisis when you have a class full of potty-training

preschoolers. Mahoney’s work is so important to the Ballard Center, which provides educational and support services for families in need, that Richards nominated Mahoney for the United Way Roger Hill Volunteer Center’s Wallace Galluzzi Outstanding Volunteer Award.

Whether it’s patching duct work, building a wall or repairing a leaky faucet, fixing things is just a way of life for Mahoney, a country boy who learned that if you want to keep things running on the farm, you need to figure out how to repair them yourself.

Voting CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

it’s at the very beginning or somewhere along the way, the penalty is on the voter, and they are forced to jump through extra hoops” by casting provisional ballots.

“Any time you’re looking at provisional ballots, you’re looking at people who believed they were eligible to vote but who, for one reason or another, were asked to vote provisionally,” he said.

But those extra hoops could be viewed as unnecessary, Gaughan said, given that voters now have to show a photo ID at the polls. In many cases, those IDs — drivers licenses or state-issued ID cards — contain all, or most, of the information needed to prove a person is eligible to vote: their name; address; and verification that they are 18 years of age or older.

As it turns out, Gaughan isn’t the only one starting to question the need for voter registration.

Michael Lynch, an assistant professor of political science at Kansas University, is currently working on a study about the impact that voter ID laws had on turnout in Kansas. He says registration requirements themselves can deter many people from voting.

Currently, North Dakota is the only state that has dispensed with voter registration altogether, he said. Eight other states — Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Wyoming — as well as the District of Columbia allow instant voter registration at the polls on Election Day. And Lynch said open voting without registration is common in other democracies outside the United States.

“In a lot of countries you don’t have to register as a separate act from voting,” Lynch said. “If you’re on the list of being a citizen, you’re on the list to vote, and you don’t have to take an affirmative action to go and be eligible to vote like you do in the U.S.”

LAWRENCE

.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, however, said he doesn’t believe the ID laws that he championed through the Kansas Legislature have made voter registration obsolete, and he thinks separate registration still serves an important purpose.

“The first and foremost answer to the question is that voter registration allows for checks at the front end of the process to ensure that the person is an eligible voter,” Kobach said.

For one thing, he said, the photo ID law in Kansas is only meant to require voters to prove their identity.

Many forms of ID that are allowed in Kansas, including military and student IDs, do not show the person’s address and do not necessarily verify that they are a U.S. citizen or legal resident of Kansas.

Also, Kobach said, those IDs do not verify whether a person is a convicted felon who is still on parole or in some other form of custody of the Department of Corrections.

Finally, he said, voter registration helps political parties and candidates by identifying voters’ party registration, and it helps local election officials plan for the number of ballots they’ll need to print and the number of polling places they’ll need to set up in various neighborhoods.

But other experts say those obstacles could be overcome through other means beside requiring voters to register.

Mark Joslyn, associate professor of political science at KU, says the registration process primarily serves the interests of politicians to control and limit the number and types of people who can vote.

“Studies show sameday registration increases turnout,” Joslyn said.

“So if your goal is to increase participation, why wouldn’t you do it? But if you’re the dominant party, and you’ve been advantaged by the current system, why would you change it?”

Lawrence campus and the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan. “That is a tremendous hit to the university,” Caboni said.

Contingency plans That said, if midnight strikes on Dec. 31 and no deal has been reached, it won’t exactly signal panic alarms on the KU campus.

Steve Warren, KU’s vice chancellor of research and graduate studies, said the severity of the effects would depend on how long a sequestration lasts.

If the cuts stretch on for only a month or two, he said, the university could largely function as it normally does. It could dip into cash reserves to tide over federally funded research projects and the jobs and student assistantships they fund.

“It’ll be a weird and maybe challenging couple of months for us, but we’ll come out of it OK,” Warren said.

So if political pressure ramps up and forces congressional leaders to get a deal done by around the end of February — something Warren said many onlookers think is likely — the effects would likely not be calamitous.

But if the situation stretched out much longer than that, it could be a different story. Research projects could slow or stop. Graduate students might lose assistantships that pay their tuition and provide them stipends to live on. Research assistants or others could lose their jobs. At the Medical Center, cancer patients who could have had access to clinical trials could be cut off.

“It would get really ugly and really sad, frankly,” Warren said.

And then there would be student loans. Federal direct unsubsidized loans would tack on an additional origination cost of about 0.1 percentage points, and federal direct PLUS loans would gain an extra cost of about 0.4 points.

Altogether, the potential annual cost for all KU students would total $27 million, Caboni said.

“We don’t think it’s in the best interest of preparing the trained young people we’re going to need to attract business to the state of Kansas,” Caboni said.

federal research funding flowed into KU and the medical center during the 2011 fiscal year. That funds about 85 percent of the university’s research.

The federal agencies that grant such funds — the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation and Department of Education primary among them for KU — would be forced to cut their research budgets by about 8.4 percent.

So a corresponding cut to KU’s research funding would be about $18 million.

But agencies haven’t announced how exactly those cuts would affect their funding.

Would all research projects face an across-theKANSAS board cut?

UNIVERSITY W o u l d some projects continue freely, while others are halted?

The answer’s not clear, Warren said.

“I don’t know if they know,” Warren said, “but if they know, they’re not saying.”

KU officials’ best guess, he said, is that the first thing to go will be the awarding of new grants.

That could end as soon as the calendar hits January, or perhaps even this month as agencies brace for impact.

That could put the brakes on a successful run of landed grants for KU researchers this fall, including the largest single grant in the university’s history.

If the sequester stretches on, then existing grants may see cuts.

A typical research grant, Warren said, might pay for the tuition and stipends for a couple of graduate student assistants, part of a faculty member’s salary and perhaps provide jobs for one or two other research assistants. Reserve funds might allow the university to bridge those people along if a sequester lasts a month or two.

But any longer than that and it could spell danger.

“It would not just stop research,” Warren said.

“There would be people who’d lose their jobs.”

Communicating risks Wayne Sailor, a professor of special education, is administering that largest grant ever awarded to KU: $24.5 million from the U.S. Department of Education over five years to create a center aiming to change the way children with disDanger to research abilities are taught in the projects country’s schools.

Through the years, he’s collected an arsenal of tools and the knack for knowing how to use them to keep things in tiptop shape.

He didn’t know how important both would be until he neared retirement from his job as a site risk coordinator for Procter & Gamble. As Mahoney contemplated what he wanted to do with his new free time, fixing things came to mind. So did volunteering for a list of worthy organizations. The two ideas fit together perfectly.

“Lo and behold, it’s something that’s needed in the nonprofit world, somebody to come and do some projects here and there,” says Mahoney, who also volunteers for Lawrence Habitat for Humanity.

Because most of the projects he does involve dangerous tools and lots of mess, Mahoney usually works at the sites after hours. But it’s a treat for him to get to come in when school is in session because if there’s one thing he likes even more than tools, it’s kids.

“They like to come and watch. If it’s OK and I’m not — Education reporter Peter Hancock can doing anything dangerous, be reached at 832-7259. Follow him like I’m gluing something, I at Twitter.com/pqhancock. might have somebody hold

something for me. It’s fun for them and fun for me.”

It’s also been a delight for Mahoney, a lifelong businessman, to observe how efficiently and effectively many nonprofits are run, accomplishing Herculean missions on shoestring budgets.

“I’ve worked in the corporate world for a long, long time, and what amazes me is how much is done by these nonprofit organizations for so little.

It’s very refreshing,” Mahoney says. “The Ballard organization helps hundreds of people everyday.

How do they do that? I don’t have a clue.”

Richards knows. One key component is the support of lots of volunteers, he explains. Ballard uses volunteers to do everything from stocking shelves at its food pantry, which distributed more than 1,000 bags of food in October alone, to reading to children in their education facilities, which serve up to 80 families. Right now, Ballard is eager for volunteers to adopt the nearly 600 families participating in its holiday adoption program and to help sort the hundreds of gifts as they come in.

“You never know what kind of skills you have that could be vital to an organization, like accounting, cooking or reading,” Richards says. “Your special

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD wondering how it might affect the project. Some observers say education grants would be largely safe, he said; others say they could be first on the chopping block.

“I’m worried about it, clearly,” Sailor said.

Cuts to such a grant could ruin a great deal of planning and affect many people’s lives, he said.

As a result of such risks, the university is working this month to push congressional representatives to work for a sustainable budget solution.

Caboni spent this past week meeting with the Kansas congressional delegation in Washington, and the university’s full-time federal lobbyist is working on the issue, as well.

“For the next four weeks, this is where all of our time, effort and energy will be spent,” Caboni said.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little joined with Brady Deaton, chancellor of the University of Missouri, to write an op-ed piece published in the Kansas City Star this week spelling out the risks posed by the fiscal cliff to students and research universities.

“The best way to solve our long-term debt challenge is by creating an economy that has both the educated workers and new discoveries that lead to sustained growth,” they wrote.

Caboni said KU will push representatives to reach an agreement that considers the outsize role that entitlement programs play in the federal budget picture compared to discretionary spending, which is the pool from which research and student-loan funding comes. The pitch is that those funds lead to innovation, development in industry and health care and jobs.

But Warren said that any long-term solution would be preferable to kicking the can down the road for another year, even if it included cuts to research budgets.

“If we knew what to plan for, even if it led to long-term cuts in some of the research agencies, at least it would be orderly and we could plan for it,” Warren said.

At the very least, he said he believes a doomsday scenario — sequestration lasting for a year or more — is unlikely, as the economic damage would force Washington to act.

“We believe that, at least, if any of it occurs, saner minds will somehow prevail,” he said, “and the worst case will be avoided.”

skill set — you may not even think of it as a special skill set — could be vital to any organization.”

For Mahoney, becoming a volunteer handyman at Ballard has been a great experience. He’s made lots of new friends and been able to support an organization he believes in. “I get more than I give,” he says.

“He is invaluable to us,” Richards responds. “It would be nice to be able to afford a maintenance man for all three of our locations, but that’s a pricey undertaking. In the nonprofit world, sometimes the finances are not there to finance all the projects you need. He is vital to us.”

Menorah lighting centers on community Local artwork featured in Hanukkah ceremony

By Meagan Thomas mthomas@ljworld.com

Members of the Jewish community gathered outside the Lawrence Arts Center on Sunday to celebrate the second day of Hanukkah with a menorah lighting, organized by the Chabad Center for Jewish Life.

Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel, executive director of the center, said that the outdoor menorah lighting was just one of thousands happening throughout the world and that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special for the city of Lawrence to partake in that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special about this event is that it gathers together the entire community,â&#x20AC;? Tiechtel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Judaism, community is a very important factor, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for all of us to be here together having an event.â&#x20AC;?

Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, commemorates the miracle of one dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of oil lasting for eight during a rededication of the Temple by the Maccabees.

To begin the ceremony, Mayor Bob Schumm greeted the crowd. He lit the first candle of the menorah and then the children at the event followed, lighting two more.

After the menorah was lit, the crowd gathered inside the center to eat potato latkes and doughnuts and to watch a demonstration about light by a group called Mad Science.

‘Cut scores,’ Junior ROTC on ed board agenda

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

This month’s Kansas State Board of Education meeting will be the last for four members whose terms are expiring, and the agenda will be packed with some of their top-priority issues.

The board meets Tuesday and Wednesday at the Department of Education building, 10th and Quincy streets in Topeka.

One item includes a discussion of “cut scores.”

‘Fiscal cliff’ raises concerns for NBAF

By John Milburn

“

The environment for getting NBAF funded is getting more and — The loom- more difficult.”

Associated Press

TOPEKA ing “fiscal cliff” and recent demotions in the Kansas congressional delegation shouldn’t weaken support for a new federal $1.15 billion animal research lab in Manhattan, state officials say.

Funding for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility has been slowed in recent years by tight federal funding sources and ongoing reviews of the laboratory’s size, scope and risk. The Department of Homeland Security facility is designed to replace an aging animal research lab at Plum Island, N.Y., with the capability to research deadly animal diseases such as foot and mouth that affect livestock.

But new pressures have emerged. The deadline for avoiding massive increases in federal taxes and mandatory spending reductions has prompted concerns that the nation can’t afford to build the facility.

“The environment for getting NBAF funded is getting more and more difficult,” said Kansas House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat.

A vocal critic of the project has been New York Rep. Tim Bishop, a Democrat who represents Long Island. He said the fiscal cliff should be reason enough to kill the project.

“I hope that it does,” he said. “If we are going to impose statutory caps on discretionary spending, then I think we should eliminate funding for NBAF entirely. We do not need it, we cannot afford it and the National Academy of Sciences has said it is a poor idea to build it where it is proposed.”

He said he has written to the Office of Management and Budget urging that the

$75,000 a year. The state is committed to issuing up to $105 million in bonds to help with the project.

One option for Kansas would be for the state to pick up a greater share of the cost of the project, said Sen. Terry Bruce, who will take over as majority leader of the Kansas Senate in January.

The Hutchinson attorney said it could be possible for the state to find other funding sources to replace reduced federal funds, such as issuing bonds while interest rates are low, seeing it as an investment in agriculture and high-tech research jobs for generations.

“You might be able to get a long-term lease where the payments cover your bond and interest payments,” Bruce said.

“That would be a bestcase scenario.”

Legislators haven’t openly discussed such a proposal and doing so may be difficult in 2013 with the state facing a projected budget shortfall of nearly $328 million in the upcoming fiscal year.

Family Promise seeks help hosting families

MCCOOK, NEB. — Ranchers can get advice on managing their cattle herds during drought at the next tri-state cow-calf symposium and trade show in January.

The free biannual event will be in McCook on Jan. 8. The event is a cooperative effort of universities in Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado.

Keynote speaker James Robb will provide an overview of how the drought has affected cattle numbers and the current cattle

market. Robb is director of the Livestock Marketing Information Center in Denver.

Other topics will be covered at sessions throughout the day, including the nutritional implications of drought, herd management in drought and beef cow genetics.

Ranchers must register

by Jan. 2 to attend the symposium at the Red Willow County fairgrounds by calling 877-674-6947 or emailing red-willowcounty@unl.edu.

Q:

After the extension of Delaware Street between Eighth and Ninth streets was opened, a stop sign was installed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as pavement markings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at the intersection of Ninth and Delaware. Recently, the stop sign disappeared (but pavement markings remain), and now there is confusion among drivers as to who has the right-ofway. Can the city clarify and either re-install the stop sign or remove the markings to make it clear to drivers?

A:

The intersection currently has a yield sign for eastbound traffic which is usually appropriate for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tâ&#x20AC;? intersection with good sight distance, according to Roger Steinbock of the city of Lawrence. Any time there is a change in traffic control, it takes a period of time for motorists to adjust, he said, but the intersection will be monitored to determine if additional traffic control, or changes, are needed.

Brownback applauds EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling on grain sorghum TOPEKA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Environmental Protection Agency decision to qualify grain sorghum as a renewable fuel under federal standards is being hailed as good news for Kansas, which raises more of the crop than any other state.

Gov. Sam Brownback said last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EPA decision that ethanol produced from sorghum qualifies under the Renewable Fuels Standard Program could be a boost to stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The RFS requires the United States to produce 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel by 2022, with an increasing requirement for renewable fuels from non-corn sources,â&#x20AC;?

Brownback said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This pathway will open the door for Kansas sorghum farmers and Kansas ethanol plants to help meet both the conventional biofuel and advanced biofuel mandates under the RFS.â&#x20AC;?

The Topeka CapitalJournal reported that the governor noted 60 percent of Kansas-produced ethanol comes from

sorghum, which also is known as milo.

The Kansas Department of Agriculture said in a statement that a determination signed by EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson on Nov. 30 found that grain sorghum ethanol produced at dry-mill facilities that utilize natural gas for Brownback processing energy meets the 20 percent greenhouse gas emission reduction threshold necessary to qualify as a renewable fuel under RFS guidelines.

According to the Kansas Grain Sorghum Growers Association, sorghum thrives in hot, dry conditions and looks a lot like corn, just smaller. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primarily used as feed for livestock, but lately more of it has been used to produce ethanol as well.

Brownback recently sent a letter to Jackson urging approval of sor-

ghumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RFS qualification and invited her and EPA staff members to visit Kansas ethanol plants that use sorghum grown by farmers in the state.

The ruling could benefit Western Plains Energy, an Oakley company that plans to use waste from beef feedlots, swine operations and landfills to generate methane gas used in its sorghum-produced ethanol plant. Another beneficiary, Garden City-based Conestoga Energy, uses carbon dioxide trapped in oil wells as part of its sorghum-ethanol production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ingenuity found in Kansas is second to none,â&#x20AC;? said Dale Rodman, Kansas Secretary of Agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These ethanol plants, and likely many more, have made significant financial investments necessary to produce ethanol from sorghum and meet advanced biofuel standards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Approving the sorghum pathway is a critical step forward in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest to become energy independent,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Concrete problems pile up in K.C. metro area KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cities across the Kansas City metro area are facing millions of dollars in repairs to concrete structures that were installed years ago.

The problem of concrete thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s falling apart and appears to affect several area streets and curbs is called D-cracking and can be traced back to bad limestone that was used in the late 1980s, The Kansas City Star reported. The key ingredients of concrete are rock, or whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called large

aggregate, mixed with sand, cement and water. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kansas City is a big metropolitan area with a lot of streets built at a lot of different times in the past,â&#x20AC;? said Michael Ross, manager of technical and administrative services for the public works department in neighboring Overland Park, Kan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a block of infrastructure that is old enough that has this problem and that will be very expensive to go back in and replace.â&#x20AC;?

Joe Johnson, director of public works for Leawood, Kan., said some of the limestone was susceptible to water getting in it. In winter the low temperatures made that water expand. When it warmed back up it thawed and the aggregate would contract. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As it would go through the cycle, the rocks would disintegrate,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said.

Overland Park will spend about $2 million next year replacing curbs and gutters, largely because of D-cracking, Ross

said. Leawood will spend about $12 million to $16 million over the next four years to replace curbs.

And in Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summit, the city asked voters in 2010 to approve bonds for a largescale curb replacement program to get ahead of the problem. The city was able to fund about $9 million through that program to replace about 400,000 feet of curb and gutter.

The city has enough left to do about $50,000 in repairs next year to address the worst areas.

Obama, Boehner meet to discuss ‘fiscal cliff’

By Anne Flaherty and Julie Pace Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met Sunday at the White House to discuss the ongoing negotiations over the impending “fiscal cliff,” the first meeting between just the two leaders since Election Day. Spokesmen for both Obama and Boehner said they agreed to not release details of the conversation, but emphasized that

the lines of communication remain open.

The meeting comes as the White House and Congress try to break an impasse over finding a way to stop a combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to kick in at the beginning of next year.

Obama met in November with Boehner, as well as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

The president spoke by telephone with Reid and

in person with Pelosi on Friday.

Obama has been pushing higher tax rates on the wealthiest Americans as one way to reduce the deficit — a position Boehner and other House Republicans have been steadfastly against. Republicans are demanding steeper cuts in costly government entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security.

One GOP senator said Sunday that Senate Republicans would probably agree to higher tax rates on the wealthiest Americans

if it meant getting a chance to overhaul entitlement programs.

T h e comments by Bob Obama Corker of Tennessee, a fiscal conservative who has been gaining stature in the Senate as a pragmatic deal broker, puts new pressure on Boehner and other Republican leaders to rethink their long-held assertion that even the

very rich shouldn’t see their rates go up next year.

GOP leaders have argued that the Boehner revenue gained by hiking the top two tax rates would be trivial to the deficit and that any tax hike hurts job creation.

But Corker said insisting on that red line — especially since Obama won re-election after cam-

paigning on raising tax rates on the wealthy — might not be wise.

“There is a growing group of folks looking at this and realizing that we don’t have a lot of cards as it relates to the tax issue before year end,” Corker told “Fox News Sunday.”

If Republicans agree to Obama’s plan to increase rates on the top 2 percent of Americans, Corker added, “the focus then shifts to entitlements and maybe it puts us in a place where we actually can do something that really saves the nation.”

TERRY GILBERT, LEFT, AND HIS HUSBAND, PAUL BEPPLER, WALK past cheering wellwishers after wedding at Seattle City Hall, becoming among the first gay couples to legally wed in the state Sunday in Seattle. Gov. Chris Gregoire signed a voter-approved law legalizing gay marriage Dec. 5, and weddings for gay and lesbian couples began in Washington state on Sunday, following the three-day waiting period after marriage licenses were issued earlier in the week.

Same-sex couples in Wash. start taking wedding vows

By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

SEATTLE — Scores of same-sex couples crowded Seattle City Hall for a day of wedding ceremonies on Sunday, the first day they could marry after the state’s voter-approved gay marriage law took effect.

While numerous weddings were taking place across the state, both private and public, the city hall weddings were the largest public event, with more than 130 couples taking part. The city set up five separate chapels to accommodate the revelers. From 10 a.m. through 5 p.m., cheers and applause regularly broke out as marriages became official.

After couples married, they exited city hall, greeted by a steady rain and by dozens of supporters who cheered them with shouts of “congratulations” and flowers as they descended a large staircase down to the street.

“I don’t even have words for this,” said Caren Goldenberg of Seattle,

“

We had looked at this as maybe a day we would sign a piece of paper and seal the deal, and instead we’re having this huge party being thrown in our honor.”

— Keith Bacon, of Seattle who married her partner of seven years, Casey Evans. “It just makes me really proud of my city.”

Mayor Mike McGinn, who greeted couples at they arrived, called it a “great day, a joyous day.”

“It’s really wonderful,” he said. “A new civil right is going to be recognized in this great civil institution.”

Keith Bacon and Corianton Hale of Seattle, who celebrated their six-year anniversary the night before, hugged and kissed to loud cheers and camera flashes as they took their vows before one of the 16 local judges who vol-

unteered to officiate the weddings on Sunday.

“We’re totally thrilled,” Bacon said. The couple had a commitment ceremony in August but said this day was particularly special.

“We had looked at this as maybe a day we would sign a piece of paper and seal the deal, and instead we’re having this huge party being thrown in our honor,” Bacon said. “It’s just mind-blowing.”

Nancy Monahan, 57, a retired petty officer with the Coast Guard, waited outside before the weddings began with her partner of 14 years, Deb Needham, 48.

Monahan was wearing her uniform, and Needham was wearing an ivory dress and jacket and matching hat. They said they wanted to join the large wedding event at city hall because of the significance of the day.

“It’s not very private, but very historic,” Needham said, to which Monahan added, “And very awesome.”

Pay increases for private college leaders The Associated Press

Compensation for private college presidents has continued to drift upward, while the number crossing the $1 million barrier — a signal of prestige and magnet for criticism — held steady at 36, according to a new survey.

The latest annual compilation by The Chronicle of Higher Education covers data from 2010, due to lag time in the release of federal tax information. That year, median compensation for the 494 presidents in the survey — leaders of institutions with budgets of at least $50 million — was $396,649, or 2.8 percent

DILBERT

higher than in last year’s survey. But median base salary fell slightly, by less than 1 percent.

The highest paid was Bob Kerrey, who was president of The New School in New York until December 2010 before returning to Nebraska, where he made an unsuccessful run to return to the U.S Senate.

Kerrey’s total compensation was valued at just over $3 million. His base salary was just over $600,000, but he received the remainder in the form of a retention bonus, deferred compensation and other benefits.

It is common for such payments to inflate compensation for presidents in

their final year in a position.

The highest-paid in 2010 who remains on the job is Shirley Ann Jackson of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, who was No. 2 at $2.34 million.

The highest base salary belonged to John Sexton of New York University and totaled $1.24 million out of $1.48 million total compensation.

The Chronicle has previously compiled salary data for the presidents of public institutions. Those figures showed three public university presidents earned more than $1 million in 2011, led by Gordon Gee of Ohio State with total compensation of just under $2 million.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A member of a U.S. special operations team was killed during a weekend rescue mission in Afghanistan that freed an American doctor abducted by the Taliban outside of Kabul five days ago.

President Barack Obama praised the special forces on Sunday, saying the mission was characteristic of U.S. troops’ “extraordinary courage, skill and patriotism.”

A spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan said Dr. Dilip Joseph of Colorado Springs, Colo., was rescued early Sunday, local time, in eastern Afghanistan. Joseph, a medical adviser for Colorado Springs-based Morning Star Development, was rescued after intelligence showed he was in imminent danger of injury or possible death, according to the U.S. military.

The U.S. did not immediately identify the special operator killed in the mission.

“He gave his life for his fellow Americans, and he and his teammates remind us once more of the self-

less service that allows our nation to stay strong, safe and free,” Obama said in a statement.

In a separate statement Sunday, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said, “In this fallen hero, and all of our special operators, Americans see the highest ideals of citizenship, sacrifice and service upheld.”

Panetta Morning Star, a relief group that helps rebuild communities in Afghanistan, said in a statement that Joseph was uninjured and would probably return home in a few days. The group also said two of his co-workers were freed by their captors about 11 hours before the rescue, after hours of negotiations were conducted over three days.

Morning Star said the three workers were abducted by a group of armed men while returning from a visit to one of the organization’s rural medical clinics in east-

ern Kabul province. The group said the three workers were taken into mountains about 50 miles from the Pakistan border.

The relief group said it would not reveal the identity of the other two men because they live and work in the region. The group said it did not pay ransom to obtain their release.

Morning Star praised those who helped get their workers back unharmed, singling out “courageous members of the U.S. military who successfully rescued Mr. Joseph as they risked their own lives doing so.”

The group also offered thanks to local Afghan elders and local leaders “who made visits and appeals to the captors advocating for the release of the hostages.”

Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition calls for more protests

By Sarah El Deeb Associated Press

CAIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Egyptâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition said Sunday it will keep up protests against a referendum on a disputed draft constitution but stopped short of advocating either a boycott or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? vote less than a week before the ballot.

The opposition was still pushing for Islamist President Mohammed Morsi to cancel the Dec. 15 referendum, saying they reject the process entirely and refuse to call it legitimate.

The referendum over a disputed draft constitution has deeply polarized Egypt and sparked some of the bloodiest clashes between Morsi supporters and opponents since he came to power in June.

In a sign of how jittery the government about holding the referendum,

Morsi has ordered the military to maintain security and protect state institutions until the results of the referendum are announced.

The new presidential decree, published in the official gaz e t t e , would be effective Morsi starting today. The military is asked to coordinate with the police on maintaining security and would also be entitled to arrest civilians.

Morsi insists on holding the referendum on schedule. Instead, as a concession to his opponents, he rescinded decrees he issued last month granting him almost unrestricted pow-

Chavez faces new cancer battle CARACAS, VENEZUELA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was heading back to Cuba on Sunday for a third cancer surgery after naming his vice president as his choice to lead the country if Chavez the illness cuts short his presidency.

Chavezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement on Saturday night unleashed new uncertainty about the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future, and his supporters poured into city plazas across the nation to pray for his recovery from what appears to be an aggressive type of cancer.

Chavez acknowledged the seriousness of his health situation in a televised address, saying for the first time that if he suffers complications Vice President Nicolas Maduro should be elected as Venezuelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader to continue his socialist movement.

Several outside medical experts said that based on Chavezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s account of his condition and his treatment so far, they doubt the cancer can be cured.

Radio station in hoax reviewing policy

Plane believed to be singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found MONTERREY, MEXICO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The wreckage of a small plane believed to be carrying MexicanAmerican music superstar Jenni Rivera was found in northern Mexico on Sunday, and there are no apparent survivors, authorities said.

Transportation and Communications Minister Gerardo Ruiz Esparza said â&#x20AC;&#x153;everything points towardâ&#x20AC;? it being the U.S.-registered Learjet 25 carrying Rivera and six other people to Toluca, outside Mexico City, from Monterrey.

No cause was given for the planeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crash, but its wreckage was found near the town of Iturbide in Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sierra Madre Oriental, where the terrain is very rough.

LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; British police have contacted Australian authorities about a possible investigation into a radio stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoax call to a U.K. hospital about the Duchess of Cambridge, they said Sunday, as the company that owns the station promised it is reviewing its broadcast practices.

The prank took a dark twist Friday with the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha, a 46-year-old mother of two, three days after she unwittingly accepted the call about the health of Prince Williamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pregnant wife, Kate. The death has sparked an angry backlash from those who argue the Australian DJs who carried out the hoax should be held responsible.

ers, giving himself and the panel that drafted the constitution immunity from judicial oversight.

The decrees sparked the protests. Opponents said they were issued initially to protect the disputed constitution from numerous court challenges.

Rushing the approval of the constitution in a late night session in the panel further inflamed those who claim Morsi and his Islamist allies, including the Muslim Brotherhood, are monopolizing power and trying to force their agenda into practice.

The opposition sent hundreds of thousands of protesters into the streets, in unprecedented mass rallies for the largely secular groups since they led the popular uprising last year that toppled President Hosni Mubarak.

U.S. should temper ties to Morsi

EDITORIALS

Disappointed Dole Even though former Sen. Bob Dole is no stranger to tough politics, a recent vote against the U.N. treaty on rights of the disabled surely was a disappointment.

F

ormer Kansas U.S. Sen. Bob Dole certainly needs no introduction to the vagaries of politics or the whims of today’s elected officials. And presumably he wouldn’t want anyone feeling sorry for him in the aftermath of what no doubt was a personally disappointing vote in which the Senate rejected a United Nations treaty on the rights of the disabled.

Dole, himself a disabled World War II Army veteran, was on the Senate floor, in a wheelchair, to support adoption of the treaty, which is modeled on the Americans with Disabilities Act. Thirty-eight members of Dole’s Republican Party, including both Kansas senators, Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, were among those who defeated adoption of the treaty. Only eight Republicans voted for it, although it was supported by veterans organizations and the disabilities community.

A number of reasons were given for not favoring the treaty. “I do not support the cumbersome regulations and potentially overzealous international organizations with anti-American biases that infringe upon American society,” offered up Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe. Others cited conceding America’s sovereignty to international control, or possibly overriding state laws dealing with the disabled children, and even a fear the treaty would interfere with home-schooling children.

Much of the emotional reaction to the vote, however, has been focused on the perceived slap at Bob Dole. Dole, once referred to as “the abominable no-man” by a Kansas editor upset with his voting record when Dole was in the House of Representatives, knows the rough-andtumble of politics. The quick-witted, genuinely humorous Russell native who was his party’s presidential nominee in 1996 also has demonstrated he knows how to work for what’s best for the American people, and how to get along with leaders in both parties. In Lawrence, we take particular pride in having the Dole Institute of Politics at Kansas University. The former senator is regarded fondly and favorably by most Americans, and especially, it’s fair to say, fellow Kansans.

They admire his service to our country and his growth as a statesman.

Let’s hope others now in the Senate but not yet capable of filling his shoes experience that growth as well.

WASHINGTON — How did Washington become the best friend of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, even as President Mohamed Morsi was asserting dictatorial powers and his followers were beating up secular liberals in the streets of Cairo? It’s a question many Arabs are asking these days and it deserves an answer.

Morsi and his Brotherhood followers are on a power trip after decades of isolation and persecution. You could see that newfound status when

David Ignatius

“

Morsi and his Brotherhood followers are on a power trip after decades of isolation and persecution.”

Morsi visited the United Nations in September, and even more in the diplomacy that led to last month’s cease-fire in Gaza, brokered by Morsi and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Brotherhood leaders had gone from outcasts to superstars, and they were basking in the attention.

And let’s be honest: The Obama administration has been Morsi’s main enabler.

American officials have worked closely with him on economic development and regional diplomacy. Visiting Washington last week, Morsi’s top aides were touting their boss’s close contacts with President Obama, and describing phone calls between the two leaders that led to the Gaza cease-fire.

Morsi’s unlikely role as a peacemaker is the upside of the “cosmic wager” Obama has made on the Muslim Brotherhood. It illustrates why the administration was wise to keep its channels open over the past year of post-revolutionary jockeying in Egypt.

But power corrupts, and this is as true with the Muslim Brotherhood as with any other group that suddenly finds itself in the driver’s seat after decades of ostracism. Probably thinking he had America’s backing, Morsi overreached on Nov. 22 by declaring that his presidential decrees were not subject to judicial review.

His followers claim he was trying to protect Egypt’s revolution from judges appointed

by Hosni Mubarak. But that rationale has worn thin as members of Morsi’s government resigned in protest, thousands of demonstrators took the streets and, ominously, Muslim Brotherhood supporters began counterattacking with rocks, clubs and metal pipes.

Through this upheaval, the Obama administration has been oddly restrained. After the power grab, State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland said: “We call for calm and encourage all parties to work together and call for all Egyptians to resolve their differences over these important issues peacefully and through democratic dialogue.” Not exactly a thundering denunciation.

“You need to explain to me why the U.S. reaction to Morsi’s behavior is so muted,”

one Arab official wrote me.

“So a Muslim Brotherhood leader becomes president of Egypt. He then swoops in with the most daring usurping of presidential powers since the Pharaohs, enough to make Mubarak look like a minor league autocrat in training by comparison, and the only response the USG can put out is (Nuland’s statement).” This official wondered if the U.S. had lost its moral and political bearings in its enthusiasm to find new friends.

The administration’s rejoinder is that this isn’t about America. Egyptians and other Arabs are writing their history now, and they will have to live with the consequences. Moreover, the last thing secular protesters need is an American embrace. That’s surely true, but it’s crazy for America to appear to take sides against those who want a liberal, tolerant Egypt and for those who favor Shariah law. Somehow, that’s where the Obama administration has ended up.

For a lesson in the dangers of falling in love with your client, look at Iraq: American officials, starting with President George W. Bush and Gen. David Petraeus, kept lauding Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri

al-Maliki, despite warnings from many Iraqis that he was a conspiratorial politician who would end up siding with Iran.

This misplaced affection continued into the Obama administration: Even after the Iraqi people in their wisdom voted in 2010 to dump Maliki, the U.S. helped him cobble together enough support to remain in power. Arabs observers are still scratching their heads trying to understand that one.

When assessing the turbulent events in the Arab world, we should remind ourselves that we’re witnessing a revolution that may take decades to run its course. With the outcome so hard to predict, it’s a mistake to make big bets on any particular player.

The U.S. role should be to support the broad movement for change and economic development, and to keep lines open to whatever democratic governments emerge.

America will help the Arab world through this turmoil if it states clearly that U.S. policy is guided by its interests and values, not by transient alliances and friendships. If Morsi wants to be treated as a democratic leader, he will have to act like one.

PUBLIC FORUM

Program loss

Remember vote

To the editor, I hold a PhD from the English department at Kansas University and I am very proud of this.

What I am not proud of, however, is the collapse of the Mount Oread Scholars program.

Calling the program “redundant” is reductive; it was a flourishing, successful program for high-ability KU students who wanted, as Kathy Mason points out, a “holistic” approach to their college lives. Students who enrolled in the MOS program this fall were unaware that the program would be dismantled. This was not a decision made with collaboration involving the MOS staff. MOS students are being funneled into Honors and losing connections with the MOS staff.

This is problematic. If the program was redundant, the transition should be seamless.

These high-ability students purposefully sought out, enrolled in and succeeded in their MOS experience. Enrollment increased. To read that there is a new plan for a living learning community within the Honors program indicates that the MOS program was shut down hastily, without the collaborative possibility for growth between MOS and Honors.

I am disappointed, gravely, that the administration at KU is not seeking the most dynamic ways to meet students where they are, but is instead insisting programs should be handled from the top down. This effort disempowers the exact players needed to help grow, enrich, and renew this university from the bottom up. If students’ growth, exploration, and academic integrity are values that KU upholds, the administration needs to exemplify them first.

Sam Bell, Lawrence

To the editor: On Dec. 5, the U.S. Senate voted on ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities, that would promote the worldwide extension of the rights enjoyed by U.S. citizens under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. A national coalition of over 300 disability and 21 veteran organizations labored to gain support for the CRPD’s ratification. Former Kansas Sen. Bob Dole, recently discharged from the hospital, visited the Senate floor to show his support. Many CRPD supporters spoke about Sen. Dole’s work on disability advocacy, and his unfaltering commitment for CRPD ratification.

Although Sen. Jerry Moran was a lead supporter of the CRPD early on, both Moran and Sen. Roberts voted against it. A majority of 66 votes was needed for ratification, but it failed by five votes. Thus, the U.S. failed to join 100-plus progressive nations that already ratified it.

The treaty is one of the least controversial pieces of legislation in Congress, would not change U.S. law or compromise any U.S. authority, and has no funding implications. Ratification would have continued the legacy of leadership America established with the passage of the ADA. The treaty is modeled after the ADA, which was endorsed by Republican President George H.W. Bush and Republican Attorney General Richard Thornburgh.

Kansans must not forget this failure of our elected representatives to support the civil rights of a population of 1 billion people worldwide who are often denied them, and the message that this decision sends to the rest of the world.

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Dec. 10, YEARS 1912: AGO “The moveIN 1912 ment for a commission form of government for Lawrence received a substantial boost last night at a meeting of citizens held at the High School auditorium and today boosters are actively engaged in securing signers to a petition which is to be presented to the city council

in the near future. About 100 interested, the great majority of whom were in favor of the change, gathered at the auditorium and discussed the issue of turning from the old council system of government to commission form.”

KU WOMEN 97, NEWMAN 64

Overpowering

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Strauss a prep Johnny Football With five stars next to his name and a 6-foot-4, 205-pound frame, Garrett Gilbert was primed to make such a splash as a college quarterback that he was bound to make everyone forget the name of his predecessor at Lake Travis High, just outside of Austin, Texas.

After all, Todd Reesing didn’t measure 6 feet standing on his tiptoes and he boasted only a three-star rating from Rivals.

Texas offered Gilbert a football scholarship. Reesing would have been lucky to be offered a ride by the hometown team if he were standing in the rain with lightning bolts sparking the ground beside him.

Gilbert threw 27 touchdown passes and 40 interceptions in a career he split between Texas and SMU. Reesing threw 110 touchdown passes and 30 picks for Kansas.

Reesing didn’t look as good in an airport, which of course means nothing. He looked great in a traffic jam, weaving his way to daylight, rewarding receivers for sticking with the broken play.

How many times must quarterbacks such as Reesing and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny “Football” Manziel bust records and prototypes, win games and rabid fans, before college recruiters look beyond the measurables? When will the scouts learn to use their stop watches to time how long a quarterback makes plays last?

Surely, some FBS coach somewhere has keen enough vision to see the highlight video of Lawrence High quarterback Brad Strauss, see him making plays that would make Manziel and Reesing sit up and take notice, and offer him a scholarship to play quarterback, right?

Wrong. So far, nothing much is cooking for Strauss, despite his reminding his high school coach so much of the guy who on Saturday night won the Heisman Trophy.

“They both can make a bad play good either with their feet or with their arm,” LHS coach Dirk Wedd said.

“Both have unbelievable football instincts. I know it’s crazy for anyone to compare a high school football player with the Heisman Trophy winner, but there are so many similarities. They both see the field so well, and both are tremendous winners who make everyone around them better.”

Wedd watched Manziel lead Texas A&M to victory against No. 1 Alabama.

“It was amazing,” Wedd said. “He probably kept drives going six or eight times either by breaking contain or having someone miss a tackle on him, and then he finds the open receiver. That’s exactly what Brad did for us for three years. The play didn’t have to be blocked exactly right.

He’d find a way to make the play good.”

His release is a little funky, but did that keep Please see KEEGAN, page 3B

KANSAS’ CHELSEA GARDNER SAVES THE BALL FROM GOING OUT OF BOUNDS in front of Anna Sonka (3) and Naomi Rosales (31). KU beat Newman, 97-64, on Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Jayhawks bounce back with blowout

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Less than three minutes into Sunday’s women’s basketball game against Newman, Kansas University senior Carolyn Davis was on pace to pick up 140 points.

After scoring KU’s first 10 points, Davis’ pace checked up from that point on, but the Jayhawks did not as they rolled to a 97-64 victory in Allen Fieldhouse.

Davis finished with 24 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 14 minutes to lead the Jayhawks to the bounce-back vic-

tory that came just three days after they suffered their first loss of the season.

“Before every game (KU assistant) Terry (Nooner) always tells me, ‘30 and 20, 30 and 20,’” said Davis of her coach’s goals for her points and rebounds.

“It gives me s o m e t h i n g Davis to look for.

It’s not about points, it’s just about dominating the game.”

Davis certainly did that

early against an overmatched Newman squad that had no answer for Kansas’ size and strength inside.

“Somebody told me I was the only person to be able to hold Carolyn under 30 today,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “She was good early, and we just said, ‘Until they stop that, we’re just gonna keep throwing it inside.’”

The Jayhawks (8-1) did that even when Davis was not in the game. Sophomore Chelsea Gardner was nearly as effective as her mentor in this one, finishing with 17 points on 7-of10 shooting in 23 minutes of

relief. Both Gardner and Davis recorded nine rebounds, and at times it was tough to tell which was in the game, as Gardner’s play very much resembled Davis’ in the opening minutes.

“She’s caught on to how Carolyn gets all those highpercentage catches, all the work Carolyn does early, and it looks like she’s bought into, ‘If I do that, I might catch it, turn and score, too,’” Henrickson said of Gardner.

Thanks largely to KU’s size, Newman never stood a chance in this one.

Withey proudly graduates early Kicker

Jeff Withey, who blocked five Colorado shots while wearing a Kansas University basketball jersey Saturday, capped his weekend in a cap and gown Sunday.

Withey, KU’s senior center from San Diego, graduated with a degree in American studies and a minor in education Sunday afternoon at the Lied Center.

“It’s been a long time (in the classroom). I’m certainly proud of myself. It feels good to have all your hard work pay off,” said Withey, who

spent one semester at the University of Arizona (200809) before transferring to KU in time for second-semester classes.

“I knew at the beginning of last year (he could receive diploma in December),” Withey added. “Scooter (Scott Ward, associate AD, academic and career counseling) told me if I did everything I was supposed to, I’d be able to graduate.

Royals trade to shore up rotation “

It’s time for us to start winning at the majorleague level.”

— Royals GM Dayton Moore

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals acquired former All-Star James Shields and fellow righthander Wade Davis from the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday night for outfielder Wil Myers and a package of minorleague prospects.

Kansas City has been working all offseason to shore up a starting rotation that has been abysmal for years, re-signing Jeremy

Guthrie and acquiring Ervin Santana from the Los Angeles Angels. But the trade for Shields and Davis represents the most aggressive move yet under general manager Dayton Moore, who believes the Royals are primed to contend as early as this season.

“We have to start winning games at the major-league level, and the way you develop a winning culture is by winning major-league

games,” Moore said. “It’s time for us to start winning at the major-league level.”

The blockbuster deal essentially means the Royals are mortgaging part of their future to start winning in the present.

Along with giving up Myers, widely voted the minor leagues’ top player last season, the Royals also traded Please see ROYALS, page 3B

commits to KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

As the 2012 season played out and the Kansas University football team routinely struggled in the kicking game, KU coach Charlie Weis made it clear that upgrading the position would be a top priority in the offseason.

Sunday, after welcoming more than a dozen recruits in for the weekend, Weis learned he was at least part of the way there when Trevor Pardula, of DeAnza College in California, orally committed to the Jayhawks.

Pardula, who is from San Jose, Calif., chose the Jayhawks over San Jose State. According to Rivals.com, those were the only schools to offer the 6-foot-5, 210-pound punter and kickoff specialist.

Last season, while earning all-conference honors, Pardula averaged Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

Marquez-Pacquiao rematch possible LAS VEGAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The idea of Manny Pacquiao being knocked out cold was shocking enough.

The sight of him face down on the canvas, unresponsive even as bedlam broke out all around him, was positively frightening.

Mitt Romney saw it up close from his ringside seat just a few feet away. So did Pacquiaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, who broke down in tears and tried to get in the ring to aid her downed husband.

Juan Manuel Marquez didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bother to look. He was already busy celebrating the knockout of a lifetime.

This was boxing at its brutal best, a toe-to-toe slugfest Saturday night that was destined from the opening bell to be decided by fists instead of judges.

Both fighters had been down, and both fighters were hurting when Marquez threw a right hand off the ropes with a second left in the sixth round that could be felt all the way in the rafters of the MGM Grand arena.

It will go down among the great fights of their era. But it was barely over when the cry arose for the two ever-so-willing warriors to do it again.

When it comes to Pacquiao and Marquez, four fights may not be enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you give us a chance, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fight again,â&#x20AC;? Pacquiao said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just starting to feel confident and then I got careless.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, the case could be made that Pacquiao was on the verge of a big win himself when Marquez landed the punch that sent him falling face-first to the canvas. He had come back from a third-round knockdown to drop Marquez in the fifth and was landing big left hands that broke and bloodied the Mexicanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose.

REFEREE KENNY BAYLESS, CENTER, SENDS JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ, RIGHT, TO HIS CORNER after Marquez knocked out Manny Pacquiao in their WBO world welterweight fight late Saturday in Las Vegas.

After three fights that all went the distance, both fighters had vowed to be more aggressive in their fourth meeting. Pacquiao ended up paying the price for it when he tried to close the sixth round with a flurry, a big mistake against a counterpuncher who drew him into his sights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew Manny could knock me out at any time,â&#x20AC;? Marquez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I threw the perfect punch.â&#x20AC;?

Pacquiao, who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been stopped in a fight since 1999 in Thailand when he was a 112-pounder, took several minutes to come around on the canvas before being led to his ring stool. He blew his nose and stared vacantly ahead as the pro-Marquez crowd of 16,348 screamed in excitement.

Pacquiao had dropped Marquez four times in their first three fights, but Marquez had never put him down before he landed a big right hand in the third round for his first knock-

down. The power was sure to raise questions about the new bulked-up physique Marquez has at the age of 39, which he said came from hard work under a strength conditioner who once provided steroids to Marion Jones and other track stars.

Still, it was a career-defining moment for Marquez, who believes he was robbed by the judges in his first three fights with Pacquiao. The two fought to a draw eight years ago at 125 pounds and Pacquiao was awarded close decisions in the other two fights.

It was clear there would be no need for the judges on this night, which might have been good for Marquez since he was losing by one point on all three scorecards when he landed his big punch.

The only question was which fighter would end the night on the canvas.

It turned out to be Pacquiao, who lost a controversial deci-

sion in his last fight to Timothy Bradley and who many in boxing believe is showing the wear of 17 years in the ring. For any other fighter the knockout loss might be the end, but Pacquiao showed no sign afterward that he was willing to call it quits on his remarkable career and return to his other job as a congressman in the Philippines.

Trainer Freddie Roach said the decision wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an easy one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said if he is back in the gym and I see signs of him declining, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell him to retire, but if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see that, I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell him to retire,â&#x20AC;? Roach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to get a rematch, but is that the best move right away? Should we try him out in a softer fight first? There is a lot of things we have to think about. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very complicated, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be overnight.â&#x20AC;?

One thing the stunning loss did do was scuttle, perhaps forever, what would have been the richest fight in boxing history.

With Pacquiao now damaged goods, any fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. would be fought for a lot less money and generate a lot less interest than if it had happened with Pacquiao still on his winning streak and still in his prime.

Pacquiaoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career may not be over. If postfight comments from both fighters and promoter Bob Arum were any indication, he and Marquez will more than likely fight for a fifth time. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much money to be had and the fighter in Pacquiao will surely want a chance at redemption.

That will be a hot topic of discussion in the months ahead. For now, though, one thing is for sure.

On this night, one huge right hand from Marquez changed everything.

Spent Chiefs routed by Browns CLEVELAND (AP) — There was no emotional carryover or win for the Chiefs.

Only a letdown.

One week after Kansas City’s players bonded in grief following a teammate’s death, the Chiefs were clobbered, 30-7, on Sunday by the Cleveland Browns, who extended their longest winning streak since 2009 to three games.

Running back Jamaal Charles scored on an 80yard touchdown run on the opening play. But other than that moment, it was more of the same for the Chiefs (2-11), still reeling from the tragedy involving linebacker Jovan Belcher, who killed his

girlfriend before committing suicide at the team’s practice facility.

“It’s been a long week,” linebacker Tamba Hali said. “Guys just wanted to come out and stack wins, back to back. Jamaal, when he broke that first one, we were excited. But we have to keep that up throughout the game.”

Rookie Travis Benjamin’s electrifying 93-yard punt return touchdown early in the second quarter swung momentum in Cleveland’s favor and the Browns (5-8) continued their resurgence under second-year coach Pat Shurmur, whose future in Cleveland remains uncertain. With three games

Philip Rivers from accomplishing great things at North Carolina State?

Strauss, the Johnny Football of Kansas high schools this season, had a streak of 111 consecutive passes without an interception. He’s accurate, but because he’s 6-1, 180, misguided assumptions are made about his strength.

“He’s a 235, 240 (-pound) power-clean guy and a 425, 435 squat,” Wedd said of Strauss.

“That’s unbelievable for a high school quarterback.”

Wedd rattled off the names of several FCS (Division I-AA) schools that have inquired about Strauss but so far haven’t offered a scholarship.

“Biggest shocker I’ve ever had as a coach, that’s for sure,” Wedd said.

Those who know how recruiting works suggest it would take a head coach falling in love with his tape and trumping a position coach for him to receive an offer from an FBS school. Assistants would be more likely to stick to prototypes because they’re less of a gamble.

“How about gambling on a kid who never has been in trouble in his life, is not going to cause problems at 1 in the morning and is going to be a great studentathlete?” Wedd said of Strauss, a 3.6 student who scored 27 on the ACT. “Does that weigh into it at all? It’s tough not to be disappointed in the process.”

All it takes is one coach to pull the trigger on a big-time playmaker. Baylor, Iowa State, Oregon, Stanford and Texas A&M were the only BCS-conference schools to offer scholarships to Johnny Football. The megaheavyweights passed and watched him run and pass the Aggies to a two-loss season.

All it will take for Strauss is for one head coach to look at his video and see enough Johnny Football in it to offer a scholarship. In time, Strauss will make that coach glad he had the guts to let him take a sledgehammer to the silly prototype that calls for a tall, broad-shouldered block of granite.

KU nearly made as many field goals in the first half (21) as Newman attempted (26), and the Jayhawks shot 57 percent en route to a 51-31 lead at the break.

Most of Davis’ damage came in that initial surge, and she finished the first half with 14 points on 7-of8 shooting in just six firsthalf minutes.

“I just figured I gotta make the most of the minutes I have,” Davis said.

Sunday’s victory was not perfect, but it gave the Jayhawks a chance to work on a lot of things they felt cost them in last week’s loss at Arkansas.

“I think our help and our sink (defense) was really good on the back side, and I think that’s something we can take away from today,” said Davis, noting that her offensive numbers would not come as easily from here on out.

Added senior guard Monica Engelman, who finished with 10 points in 23 minutes: “We were upset about the game we let slip away, and this game was about getting our groove back and doing things that are gonna build our confidence back up.”

One group that received a much-needed dose of confidence was KU’s bench, which played extended minutes in the rout. In addition to Gard-

44 yards per punt and landed 14 kicks inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.

Many recruiting analysts expected Pardula to be tough to pull away from his home state. But it sounds like this weekend’s visit, which was hosted by quarterback Turner Baty, put Kansas over the top.

class or two for second semester of the 2012-13 school year.

“I’m still going to take classes. That way I can play basketball, obviously,” said Withey, who has to be enrolled in class to be eligible. “Nothing too difficult.”

Withey, who is currently listed as a first-round pick in the 2013 NBA Draft by both draftexpress.com (25th) and nbadraft.net (26th), also will take part in graduation ceremonies in May in Memorial Stadium with teammates Elijah Johnson, Travis Releford and Kevin Young.

“It will be a lot of fun doing it in May with the big group of people,” Withey

about the visit,” Pardula told JayhawkSlant.com’s Jon Kirby. “Everything blew my expectations away. All of the guys on the team were great.”

Pardula becomes the 14th member of KU’s current recruiting class. He is expected to graduate this month and will enroll in classes at KU in time for spring practice.

KU in Combs’ final two He still has not made a final decision, but juniorcollege standout Marquel Combs, a 6-5, 305-pound defensive tackle from

left, the Browns, who opened this season 0-5, have surpassed their win total from last season and have their longest winning streak since 2009.

“It’s all kind of coming together,” said 14-year veteran kicker Phil Dawson, who booted three field goals.

For one week, the Chiefs felt the same way.

Charles ran for 165 yards, breaking off his 80-yarder on the first snap as Kansas City, playing its road game since Belcher’s suicide. The 25-yearold killed his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, at their home before driving to the team’s practice facility on Dec. 1 and taking his life.

Rookie Trent Richardson’s second 1-yard TD early in the fourth quarter gave the Browns a 27-7 lead and finally put away the Chiefs, who had somehow pulled tighter and won at over Carolina, less than one day after Belcher’s unspeakable act.

Coach Romeo Crennel rallied his team through the difficult ordeal, but it may have been too much to expect the Chiefs to repeat last week’s performance. Their practice schedule was adjusted during the week to attend a service for Belcher, and the days of reflection and sorrow may have taken a toll.

“It is going to be with

some guys the rest of their lives,” quarterback Brady Quinn said. “It’s something I think we will carry with us the rest of the season, but it’s not a distraction. We’re doing our best to move forward.

Football and the fact that these guys love to play the game is a great outlet or a great way to get our minds off of it.”

Charles returned after sustaining a rib injury knocked him out one series. Kansas City, though, lost leading receiver Dwayne Bowe, who injured his ribs in the first half and didn’t come back. ! Summary on page 4B

“It was good to get those kids off the bench in the game,” Henrickson said. “They gave us good minutes and good energy, and from an intensity standpoint I didn’t think it dropped

when we went to the bench.”

With finals looming, KU will practice this week but will not play again until Sunday, when they welcome Prairie View A&M to town for a 2 p.m. tipoff.

said. “I’m doing this one for my parents (Debbie and Mike). My sister, Michelle, graduates in May (from California State UniversitySan Marcos), and my parents are going to see that.

They can’t be two places at once so I’m doing this one for them. The one in May is for me and my friends, I guess you could say.”

disciplined. They wanted it more than us. Their effort ... the way they guarded the ball, the pressure they dictated,” Boyle added, rattling off reasons KU mashed his team. “They had 24 layups, 46 points in the paint.

“Our Colorado State game (Wednesday’s 70-61 win in Boulder), we dictated to Colorado State.

Today, the shoe was on the other foot. We have to handle that pressure better than we handle it now,” he added of fullcourt pressure.

“Eight assists, 18 turnovers isn’t going to cut it. It doesn’t matter who you are playing. If you are playing a team like Kansas in a building like this (Allen Fieldhouse), your mistakes get magnified. They put it to us.”

Tad’s trying day: The Boulder Daily Camera referred to Colorado’s 90-54 loss to KU on Saturday as coach Tad Boyle’s “homecoming hell.”

The 36-point loss was the biggest margin of defeat in former KU guard Boyle’s three seasons at CU. It was CU’s most lopsided loss since an 8446 defeat to Air Force on Nov. 18, 2006. Ricardo Patton coached that CU team.

“We couldn’t get stops,” Boyle said. “Kansas played extremely well. They were

Pierce Community College in Woodland Hills, Calif., revealed Sunday night that he had narrowed his list to two.

“I’m not committed,” wrote Combs, who goes by the Twitter handle @ TheReal_92. “But (it’s) between the 2 Kansas schools.”

Combs, a juco teammate of KU commitment Marcus Jenkins-Moore, a 6-3, 210-pound linebacker at Pierce C.C., visited KU with Jenkins-Moore back in September. The two went to Kansas State on Dec. 1.

used to filling half of Coors Events Center for the KUColorado game in Boulder might need to find creative ways to land tickets to next year’s game at CU. Just a handful of Colorado State fans were among a record crowd of 11,708 that attended Wednesday’s game.

“I’ve heard historically that they called it (Coors Center) Allen Fieldhouse West,” CU sophomore guard Spencer Dinwiddie told the Boulder Daily Camera. “I heard how they would invade our arena and make it a tough place for us to play in our own stadium. So even though I wasn’t a part of that, I take offense to it because this is my school.”

Boyle has challenged CU fans to buy enough ! season tickets to sell out Next year’s ticket to be the arena next season betough: KU fans in Western fore Jayhawk fans can get Kansas and Denver who are their hands on tickets.

Combs has said throughout the past couple of weeks that he would make his decision on Dec. 18, one day before the midyear transfer signing period begins.

Back at it It promises to be another busy week for the KU coaching staff. Weis and all of his assistant coaches are expected to be back on the road recruiting, and, with the KU men’s basketball team playing host to Belmont on Saturday night, the upcoming weekend could

be another key visitation period for potential signees.

Sunday evening, through Twitter, Weis offered a glimpse into what his week would look like.

“One more busy week of recruiting before quiet and dead periods for the holidays. Tough travel week ahead,” Weis wrote, via @CoachWeisKansas.

“Starting in Mississippi, but traveling from Florida to Hawaii then back to the midwest with stops in Texas, Iowa, Kentucky, before Kansas!”

away right-hander Jake Odorizzi, who would have competed for a spot in the Kansas City rotation this season. Left-hander Mike Montgomery and third baseman Patrick Leonard also are headed to the Rays, while the Royals will receive a player to be named or cash.

“When you can acquire a pitcher like James Shields and Wade Davis, we have to do it, because that’s what we’ve committed to our team — we’ve committed to our organization,” Moore said. “It’s important that we start winning games.”

Shields was an All-Star two years ago for Tampa Bay, when he went 16-12 with a 2.82 ERA and finished third in the American League Cy Young Award voting. He was 15-10 with a 3.52 ERA in 33 starts last season, when he pitched 2272⁄3 innings.

The only other pitchers to log at least 200 innings in six straight seasons are the Jays’ Mark Buehrle, San Francisco’s Matt Cain, Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia and the Tigers ace Justin Verlander.

Davis made 64 starts for Tampa Bay from 2009-11 before transitioning to the bullpen last season, where he went 3-0 with a 2.43 ERA. He’ll likely get a look at returning to the rotation in Kansas City.

The jewel of the deal for Tampa Bay is Myers, who will turn 22 on Monday. The power-hitting outfielder batted .314 with 37 homers and 109 RBIs in 134 games split between Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha, and eventually could help provide some protection in the batting order for Rays star Evan Longoria.

Odorizzi was 15-5 with a 3.03 ERA for Northwest Arkansas and Omaha before making two starts for the Royals in September, while Montgomery — once a highly prized prospect — struggled to a 5-12 mark with a 6.07 ERA at the same two stops.

“It’s not easy to give up prospects,” Moore said.

“What we do is just focus on making our team the very best we can.”

Dear Annie: My family recently went on vacation, and my 17-year-old son was an absolute pain.

He refused to go swimming with us at the pool, saying it would be too boring. He wouldn’t wear a jacket and tie to dinner at the hotel’s five-star restaurant, and when I told him he wouldn’t be able to go in without them, he said, “Fine, I’ll get a sandwich somewhere else,” and that’s what he did.

Whenever we went to the beach or shopping, he wouldn’t come along and instead toured the city on his own. When I said I didn’t care for his tone of voice, he gave me the silent treatment.

For the plane ride home, we got him a seat near the aisle so he could stretch out his legs. I told him, “You could at least say thank you.” Instead, he gave me a dirty look.

When I saw that the woman next to him had a toddler who didn’t have

his own seat, I made my son give up his, and the flight attendant gave him an empty seat near the bulkhead. I got another dirty look for that. I kept trying to ask whether he was OK, but he had the flight attendant tell me to leave him alone.

We’re planning to visit relatives this winter, and my son says he doesn’t want to go. I dread the idea of putting up with this nasty teenager who can’t appreciate any of the things we do for him. I want him to stay with his grandparents, but they’d

Bublé hosts holiday special The list of celebrity-driven holiday extravaganzas grows shorter every year. As both a critic and a viewer, I used to look forward to Kathie Lee Gifford’s over-the-top Christmas specials because I knew they would be groan-worthy displays of excess.

I like to think that Gifford knew her Christmas specials were horrendous, but she provided a kind of holiday service by upholding a tradition dating to the days when Mitzi Gaynor ruled the roost and Dinah Shore walked the earth.

Time was, you didn’t even need Christmas for some of these tacky onslaughts. I seem to remember a “Perry Como’s Easter in Guadalajara,” back in the early 1980s.

What’s Easter without Charo and Ann Jillian?

This year we have seen specials from two “Voice” judges, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton. At least one involved singing to Muppets.

Shelton also appears on “Michael Bublé: Home for the Holidays” (9 p.m., NBC). The Canadian pop star returns to his family in Vancouver to sing along with Rod Stewart and Carly Rae Jepsen.

Will this all go over the top? Let’s certainly hope so.

“Mel Brooks Strikes Back!” (8 p.m., HBO) features an interview with the ageless writer/actor/director/producer before a live and clearly affectionate audience. In an all-tooshort hour, he reviews the arc of his career from Catskill hotels to television, Broadway and Hollywood. Brooks even recalls his service in World War II, when he taunted nearby German soldiers with his version of “Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye!” a performance met with gunfire instead of applause.

Look for clips from Brooks’ “2000 Year Old Man” routine, “The Producers,” ‘‘High Anxiety” and other gems.

Tonight’s other highlights

Live semifinal performances on “The Voice” (7 p.m., NBC).

Trace Adkins and Kristin Chenoweth host the American Country Awards (7 p.m., Fox).

Richard Chamberlain, Rachel Ward and Barbara Stanwyck star in the 1983 miniseries “The Thorn Birds” (7 p.m., Encore).

Narrated and directed by Oliver Stone, “Untold History of the United States” (7 p.m., Showtime) recalls the 1950s as a dark time of nuclear threats and deepening Cold War.

The New England Patriots host the Houston Texans in “Monday Night Football” (7:30 p.m., ESPN).

â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE BOY RECESSIONâ&#x20AC;?

BY FLYNN MEANEY

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Boy Recessionâ&#x20AC;? is a laugh-out-loud read sure to appeal to readers missing summer lovinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and looking for a well-written comedy.

A high school in Whitefish Bay, Wis., suffers a series of unfortunate events leading to a significant lack of boys, and a sea of desperate girls who just want somebody to love and, more importantly, to take to the prom.

Similar to the novel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scrambled Eggs at Midnightâ&#x20AC;? (another great read) by Brad Barkley and Heather Hepler, the story is narrated from two perspectives: that of Kelly Robbins, a flute player with unique friends, and Hunter Fahrenbach, the most â&#x20AC;&#x153;chillâ&#x20AC;? person who ever lived. The Hunter sections definitely make the book. His couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-care-less attitude on everything is hysterical, which makes him even more entertaining when he finally does care about something (or someone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to read!) for the first time.

The clever chapter titles are really fictional titles of Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blog about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;boy recession.â&#x20AC;? Funny titles like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raining Women: Female Performers Make Up 80 Percent of Open-Mic Night Performanceâ&#x20AC;? start the chapters with a chuckle.

If â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Boy Recessionâ&#x20AC;? appeals, check out Meaneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bloodthirsty.â&#x20AC;?

SHOP FOR LOCAL HANDMADE GIFTS Remnant I tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas crunch time. There are about two weeks to go, and for many people theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be filled with parties, baking, cooking or visiting friends and family.

If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get around to making all the gifts you wanted this year, you can still give handmade gifts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just not made by you.

Researching for this story, which involved wandering Mass. Street on an unseasonably balmy afternoon (I know, my job is so hard), yielded way more options than I anticipated. And admittedly, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to every store in the city.

But if you can spare a few hours to come downtown, there is a high concentration of stores offering locally handmade goods.

Here is a snapshot of some of the many options.

MEN

Made, 737 Massachusetts St.: Whatever you buy there will be handmade, and many of the products are from Lawrence and Kansas producers. You can find something for anyone on your list, but notable options for men are Boulevard beer soap, Harry Potter book clocks, Nut Nation nuts and Loveland Acres popcorn.

The Etc. Shop, 928 Massachusetts St.: Inlaid wooden boxes could hold loose change or other odds and ends.

WOMEN

U.R.U., 1113 Massachusetts St.: The storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initials stand for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up-cycled, Repurposed, Up-styled.â&#x20AC;? It stocks a smorgasbord of new and vintage items, home decor and accessories. Locally made items

FAIR TRADE

REHAB

For another handmade option, try fair trade. The designation means workers, generally abroad, are paid a living wage for their products.

You can find fair trade products, such as jewelry and home decor, in Lawrence at Ten Thousand Villages, 835 Massachusetts St., and The Merc, 901 Iowa St. KIDS KATIE BEAN include soy candles, shampoo and conditioner, lotion and body spray. Owner Sharmain Saldana says they will be offering gift baskets, too.

Prairie Pond Studio, 11 W. Ninth St.: Unique fabric scarves made by a Kansas University graduate, felted and crocheted hats, purses and jewelry.

Blue Dandelion, 841 Massachusetts St.: Options abound, from appliquĂŠd shirts and onesies to dapper vests for baby boys to tutus and matching headbands for girls.

Doodlebugs, 816 Massachusetts St.: In addition to used childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goods, Doodlebugs also carries handmade accessories.

JEWELRY

Jewelry by Julie, 19 W. Ninth St., features sterling silver and gemstones.

ART

There are plenty of places to buy local art, from the many galleries to the many coffee shops downtown. Even skate shop White Chocolate, 933 Massachusetts St., displays and sells some. For a wide selection, visit 1109 Gallery, 1109 Massachusetts.

Wonder Fair, 803 1/2 Massachusetts St. (above The Burger Stand), is hosting a Holiday Market. As the sign says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gifts ahoy!â&#x20AC;?

Phoenix Gallery, 825 Massachusetts St., boasts 200 local, national and regional artists.

PETS Several outlets sell homemade dog biscuits and pet accessories. Refresh your memory by reviewing our Go! story earlier this year at ljw.bz/Ijr9pb. Lucky Paws Bakery and Unique Barktique has since moved to 4 E. Seventh St.

HOME DECOR

Stitch On Needlework Shop, 926

Massachusetts St.: The store doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just carry fabrics and sewing supplies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it also has a variety of gifts, with many locally made options including ceramic dishes and ornaments, coasters and rag rugs.

Van Go Adornment Sale, 715 New Jersey St.: Adorn your home with gifts made by local youths in the Jobs in the Arts Make Sense (JAMS) program. Items include magnets, plates, signs, wine stoppers and more. The sale will be from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. each day until Dec. 23.

Miss Fortuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creation Station, 726 Massachusetts St.: The jewelry made by owner Jennifer Fortune is a bit out of the ordinary. Some incorporates bullet casings and small animal bones; she also uses leather, much of which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told is from local deer.

If working with precious metals and stones is out of your wheelhouse, leave it to the experts. Kizer Cummings Jewelers, 833 Massachusetts St.; Marks Jewelers, 817 Massachusetts St.; and Goldmakers, 723 Massachusetts St., all create custom jewelry in-house.

OFFBEAT

If nothing on the list has caught your eye so far, maybe you need to peruse The Sacred Journey, 1103 Massachusetts St. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find hula hoops, meditation pillows, tie-dye T-shirts and acrylic pens.

You could also check out Third Planet, 846 Massachusetts St., for dreamcatchers and glass pendants.

Gifts that aren’t just ‘stuff’ Alternatives for the person who has everything

BY EMILY MULLIGAN

A

t the time of year when days of the week are named after shopping experiences, the pressure is on gift buyers to find the perfect items for friends and family. But some people already have what they need — or are difficult to shop for — and that store gift card doesn’t seem to radiate with love.

Enter some less-heralded categories of gifts, ones that share the spirit of the season without accumulating dust in the back of the closet: charitable gifts, experience gifts and gifts of time.

GIFT OF HO-HO-HOPE Charitable, or altruistic, gifts involve contributing money to a cause or organization in the recipient’s name. There are charities, foundations and nonprofits everywhere, so how can would-be gift-givers possibly choose? Several local organizations hope you will give the gift of giving itself.

JINGLE SOME BELLS OR WIELD A PAINTBRUSH If your recipient likes to try new things â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or you want to give them the gentle nudge to do so â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then the gift of an experience is the way to go. These experiences are more than just an evening out at a favorite restaurant or a day at the spa, although those make nice gifts as well.

Lawrence Arts Center offers gift certificates that can be redeemed either for classes or tickets to performances.

Classes can be anything from dance to drawing, printmaking to improv theater, for youths and adults. Many classes are eight to 16 weeks, so the gift truly keeps on giving.

Performances include film screenings, storytelling, original theater and music.

OmTree Shala, a new yoga studio, offers gift certificates for drop-in yoga classes and daily and weekly classes for students starting as young as age 7. Your recipient can find his or her inner light, no matter what the level of experience, from early-morning Sun Flow to the intense Hot Hatha.

OmTree Shala is running an introductory special of 30 days of unlimited classes for $30 for new students. Beyond that,

you can purchase 10 classes for $100, and your recipient can truly get in the flow.

For those senior members of your gift list, Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute offers gift cards redeemable for its age-50-and-over academic courses. Jim Peters, Osher Institute director, says the gifts are popular with 30- and 40-somethings struggling to find a unique gift for their parents. Many of the Osher Institute courses last about six weeks and

are taught by KU faculty and retired faculty on a large range of subjects. Locations are throughout Kansas and include Lawrence, Johnson County and Topeka.

DECKING THE HALLS, POWER-WASHING THE DECK A precious commodity throughout the year and especially during the holidays, time is what some people on your list may want,

either being together one-on-one or time you give by doing something for them: making a meal, doing household repairs, even mending their heirloom quilt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What the gift of time looks like will be different for different people,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Newberg Gale, pastor at First Presbyterian Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way to approach it is to offer things that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intrusive; offer things that can give the recipient space to do something they like.â&#x20AC;?

For example, offering to clean someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house is more intrusive than offering to watch their children for an afternoon while they may choose to clean and tidy on their own.

Gale recommends making a generic offer of what you would like to do for the person and asking them what would fit them best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The recipient may need something that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about yet,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Some people may not be asking for your time, but if you are short on funds, everyone loves a home-cooked meal or homemade treat. If you have a particular cooking specialty that your friends and family request often, why not offer to make it for them sometime? (And then follow up on it at an agreed-upon time.)

Parents should consider Plan B guidance Dr. Wes: Longtime readers of Double Take know my position on birth control, honed over 20 years of dealing with unplanned pregnancies, some with kids as young as 13.

Regardless of your position on abortion, the fact remains that one-fourth of teen pregnancies end this way, and very few young people emerge unaffected by that experience. Most elect to keep their babies and to struggle with all the problems that young parenthood entails for them, their families and society.

Thus, one of the most epic events for teens in the last ten years has been the advent of emergency contraception, most notably Plan B. While the under-17 crowd requires a prescription in all 50 states to use it, I personally know of parents who keep Plan B in their home with a no-questions-asked policy. Liberal hipsters? Not hardly. Some are pro-life conservatives who want to avoid the prospect of an abortion at all costs. But most are just pragmatic.

To be clear, emergency contraception is exactly that. It’s not a substitute for a sensible, sustained approach to birth control. Nor should it take the place of the lifelong conversation about sex we always recommend parents have with their kids.

It won’t prevent STDs. Still, Plan B has its place. Common sense is not at full flourish among teens, and learning from mistakes is the rule, not the exception. There is also a substantial connection between alcohol use and sex among teens. Pregnancy should not be a consequence for foolishness.

On Nov. 26, the American Academy of Pediatrics placed itself firmly in this camp.

In the journal Pediatrics, the Academy officially recommends that doctors begin prescribing emergency contraception in advance for all teens so they can access it

Double TAKE DR. WES CRENSHAW AND KATIE GUYOT within 120 hours of sexual contact.

This will, no doubt, stir controversy.

Some will argue that such a policy condones or even encourages sexual expression among kids who are not yet ready to handle it. Yet teens have been having sex forever and suffered the consequences, and all that good logic hasn’t really made an impact. Contraception has.

AAP’s position is not the optimal solution. But it is the smart one.

Katie: I can see the scene playing out in the pediatrician’s office: The doctor is telling a not yet sexually active patient about her options regarding sexual safety, offering a prescription for emergency contraception, “just in case,” the young patient’s face turning redder and redder. At last her mother intervenes, “I don’t think she’ll be needing a morning-after pill anytime soon.”

Maybe the mom is right — her daughter may be one of the many teenagers who don’t become sexually active until after they turn 17, when women can buy emergency

contraception over-the-counter without a prescription. However, there’s also a good chance she’s wrong. The AAP is merely suggesting that given the risk of unintended pregnancy from unprotected sex, a broken condom or rape, it’s best not to take chances.

Doctors are obligated to present patients with the information and advice they need to make educated decisions about their health. That includes educating young women about emergency contraception — which, by the way, does not induce abortion, but rather prevents fertilization. If it’s possible to improve access to contraception in case of emergency, teens and their families have a right to know.

Without a pre-written prescription for emergency contraception, girls have to visit their doctors during the short window of time between having sex and taking the pill, which is more effective the sooner it’s started. That includes the lag time before the teen tells her parents or schedules an appointment on her own. If the sexual contact occurred on a Saturday night, it could be Monday before the girl can get a prescription.

Knowing she can easily obtain Plan B isn’t likely to increase or accelerate a teen’s sexual activity. Emergency contraception is like a fire extinguisher, not something the average teen expects (or wants) to use on a regular basis.

But if that panicked “morning after” does come for a young woman before she turns 17, at least she can be prepared.

CHRISTMAS DÉCOR HO, HO, HUM? Changes, additions can bring new life to your decorations

A RETRO SANTA GREETS VISITORS to Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St. From retro to regal, Lawrence stores are putting out a variety of Christmas decorating styles this season.

BY AMBER FRALEY

W

hen it comes to freshening your Christmas decorating style, interior decorator Natashia Brown with M. Street Interiors, 825 Massachusetts St. in downtown Lawrence, says there’s no need to replace all of your old decorations. She suggests rethinking what you have and adding a few new ornaments to really spruce up your look.

“Often clients come to us because they want more of a themed Christmas design as opposed to the traditional decorations that they’ve built up over the years,” she says. “Or their tree is covered in their kids’ ornaments and they want to go for a more sophisticated look. So we’ll move those traditional ornaments to a room that’s not the main living area so that those ornaments are still up, but not in the room where they want a new look.”

Often, says Brown, a family has select sentimental ornaments that simply must be worked into their main display — usually in the living room — while other old ornaments can be used in places they haven’t before. Brown encourages clients to reuse their own ornaments whenever and wherever they can but says that key additions like artificial floral stems, new ribbons and a few new signature ornaments can breathe new life into a stale Christmas décor.

“Just adding some updated greenery and berries can really update your look,” she says. She also suggests touch-ups with marker or glue to make tattered ornaments like new again.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX Brown says tree toppers and ornaments don’t always have to go on the Christmas tree. She suggests moving your angel, star or Santa tree topper to a different spot, such as the mantel, with some new greenery and a mix of old and new ornaments.

In recent years, Brown says artificial floral stems have begun to replace the traditional tree topper, and there are plenty to choose from: greenery; silver, gold or frosted tree branches; branches with berries or pine cones; and poinsettias or holly, just to name a few.

Speaking of mantels, Brown says that a common mistake people make is to be too linear with their decorations.

She suggests adding vertical greenery or branches.

Also, she says, it’s perfectly acceptable to work in nontraditional items to your Christmas décor. For instance, this year Brown used some old fashioned brass lanterns to complement a client’s rustic Christmas look.

BIG IS BIG Brown says oversized ornaments and floral stems and sprays featuring

big berries and large pine cones have become extremely popular in recent years. Add just a few of these to update your décor.

SMALL IS BIG, TOO Even the smallest space can become home to an attractive holiday display.

Brown suggests taking a second look at blank corners, small tables, shelves and even chandeliers, which can be transformed with ribbon, ornaments and floral stems. (Just make sure to not let decorations come in contact with hot light bulbs!)

— and again, that plays into your old ornaments that can be mixed in.”

GOING RETRO/MAKING A STATEMENT

A DECORATED CHANDELIER is part of the Christmas décor at M Street Interiors, 825 Massachusetts St. AT LEFT, A UNIQUE TREE ORNAMENT hangs on a display at Hobbs at 700 Massachusetts.

BLING IS THE THING Glitter, says Brown, has become very popular in Christmas decorating.

“That’s pretty much with every theme and color scheme,” she says.

“The sparkly, glittery, blingy look is definitely in, as well as ornaments that are made to look icy.”

COLOR SCHEMES If you’re opting for a color theme, Brown suggests choosing at

least two colors and using them equally, or going with a main color and a contrast.

“Choose the main color you want — if you like the idea of the all-white tree, start there — but then you’ll want an accent color,” she says, such as a bright red.

Brown says that in recent years, she’s seen Christmas decorating colors become more eye-popping, with the exceptions of looks such as rustic or Victorian.

“It’s about the antique-y shimmery colors — nothing too bold or bright

If you’d like to go for a very bold Christmas statement, Mark Swanson of Hobbs, 700 Massachusetts St., thinks the look of the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s is where it’s at.

A good place to start is an artificial tree in a color other than traditional green, such as silver, pink or even black. Add some retro ornaments and décor, and you’re on your way to a very hip Christmas.

You can start by raiding your parents’ or grandparents’ collection of ornaments or keeping an eye out at summer garage sales, and then adding new ornaments made to look retro.

Swanson says a 1950s Buck Rogers-style Christmas look is achievable with some kids’ retro tin toy rockets in your display, along with a silver tree.

For an oldies rock ‘n’ roll look, Swanson suggests a display that includes “rock posters, glitzy tinsel and guitar ornaments.”

For a Christmas look that invokes the era of pulp fiction, Swanson has opted for “a spooky black tree with eerie flashing lights and wacky ornaments,” including hand-blown glass devils.

Though Hobbs carries a variety of retro and funky ornaments, it also carries updated ornaments that Swanson says can help create Christmas looks varying from “girly” to “traditional but whimsical.” Says Swanson, “We push very hard to be different.”

Have yourself a merry little workout W

ell, regardless of what the weather outside is indicating, the holiday season is upon us.

It’s actually been encroaching since October 1, but I am one of those people who refuse to acknowledge this season of celebration and chaos until Thanksgiving Day. After that, bring it on!

I’m happy that Mother Nature is being so cooperative and generous with her mild weather, which means more time for outdoor runs and leisurely walks before the winter chill sets in.

I’m aware that not everyone is happy about this. After all, with the countless extra things that we take on at the holidays, the very least the weather could do would be to grant us an excuse to stay in and skip working out, right? I mean, no one would expect you to brave the cold and sleet simply to get to the gym or risk slipping on the ice during a run, would they? You could end up with a twisted ankle if you go running and it’s icy out! A much better idea is to stay in where it’s warm and cozy, and where there are a million little things to do, right?

Now, now, now. You know we can’t do that. As tempting as it sounds to skip workout time in favor of holiday preparations, this is truly a very bad idea. And I’m here to tell you why.

Several columns ago, I wrote about the debilitating effects that stress can cause.

It’s so ironic that when we feel pressed for time and under the gun, the one thing that can make us feel better is the very first thing to go.

Exercise has the very powerful ability to reshape more than our bodies. It can rejuvenate our minds, our energy lev-

els and our ability to cope with all of the additional tasks that lie before us. It can help to fight depression and lethargy. I don’t know one single person who has felt worse after working out. And if you are that one person, please email me because then I can stop saying that!

When I write about working out and exercise, I want to make it very clear that I know my readers vary greatly in fitness levels, abilities and interests. So please adapt what I am saying to what your specific needs may be.

That being said, I don’t care if you are a runner, a walker, a yogi or a power lifter.

At some point everyone has to talk themselves into getting it on with their workouts. It’s not always easy to fit it in, yet for many of us, life seems so much more difficult if we do give in and skip that workout. There are no endorphins to boost us

FINDING A WORKOUT BUDDY can increase your motivation to exercise. up, we may be missing that adrenaline kick, and then there is that nagging and persistent guilt that makes us feel even worse about ourselves.

Admit it — you talk to yourself much more harshly than you would EVER talk to one of your friends. So knock it off.

Don’t get in that position in the first place.

And don’t worry so much about weight loss right now. Focus on staying steady, staying sane and maintaining your fitness level.

I have a few tips for you now, and in the next column I’ll break it down with some quick but effective exercises that can be

easily modified and adapted for ALL fitness levels. So get up, get ready and get rid of that nagging inner voice.

There are two times that are proven to be more effective in maintaining an exercise program: first thing in the morning or directly after work. Choose one that fits into your schedule. Be ready to switch to the other if conflicts arise.

Change your mindset and make exercise a PRIORITY in your day, just like all of the other things. Instead of making it the first thing to go when you are under the gun, accept that everything else will get done with more energy and mindful awareness if you actually DO exercise.

Don’t eliminate it. Trust me on this.

Are you exhausted? Lethargic? Lacking in energy and motivation? GET THEE TO A GYM! Or a pool, playground or sidewalk. It doesn’t matter! Just exercise!

You will get back all of the energy you are missing and then some! You can do some Tabata sets for 4 ½ minutes and feel much better. You already know this!

Grab a friend, neighbor or child and make a commitment to honor that time together. You can socialize and motivate each other. And you will most likely laugh, which is also much needed right about now.

Do something that you enjoy. Swim at one of the indoor facilities, play tennis, go for a walk downtown or on campus, run on the river trail or at Clinton Lake.

Just move. Get your heart rate up. And enjoy doing something that is 110 percent good for you!

Good for nothing â&#x20AC;&#x153;W

ar,â&#x20AC;? sang Edwin Starr back in 1969, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is it good for? Absolutely

nothing â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;?

But in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, we had Israel and Gaza trading missiles and bombs, Syria descending further into chaos and a blip in the endless war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (on and off for 50 years and counting; estimated loss of life: 3 million) as Goma fell to the rebels. Not to mention Afghanistan, northern Mali, Pakistan, Sudan, Yemen, northern Burma, Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internal drug war â&#x20AC;Ś A Ugandan website had the remarkable headline, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to get lasting peace in Congo, maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to give war a chance.â&#x20AC;? But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always giving war a chance, all over the world.

If insanity means persisting in behavior that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, then our species is totally nuts. There may be occasional wars that accomplish something worth doing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ending slavery, defeating a racist dictator â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but most of them donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and in fact are counterproductive and downright delusional.

Want to stop young men in neighboring countries from hating you enough to kill you? You might consider not bombing their relativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; apartment buildings.

Want to end a blockade thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strangling your country and convince the country next door to stop bombing your relativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; apartment buildings? You might consider not firing missiles at their houses and blowing up their buses. Want to keep at least some of the ill-gotten gains you gained from years of family dictatorship?

You might consider not killing the citizens you supposedly govern. As for the war in the Congo, who can untangle that web of power-grabs and desperation?

Why do we, all over the planet, keep doing this thing that hardly ever gets us anything except grief? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quote thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going around the Web: â&#x20AC;&#x153;War is an activity in which people who do not know each other kill each other under the orders of people who know each other well but do not kill each other.â&#x20AC;?

Everyday

LIFE

( + ' % ) % JUDITH ROITMAN Right. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep straight who exactly is making this stuff happen. By and large, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the people who kill and are killed.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not the people who put themselves on whatever the equivalent of the front lines are these days.

Nope. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders who are responsible. Leaders who persuade or force other people to persist in behavior the leaders want, behavior that just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, behavior that causes untold damage. Leaders and the rest of us who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop to ask, Excuse me, but just exactly what do you think will be accomplished that justifies such terrible suffering?

So hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a final story. When my son was a toddler, he was watching an old movie on TV with a couple of other kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why are these people fighting?â&#x20AC;? one kid asked.

I started explaining the plot, but my friend Carol (Duermeier) Marshall said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stupid.â&#x20AC;?

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stupid, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stupid, and, instead of believing the self-serving story lines we tell ourselves, we ought to try harder to not be so stupid. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Judith Roitman can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

It never fails that about one week before the event, I get numerous emails that usually begin with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the dress code says _______, but my wife is wondering what she should wear.â&#x20AC;?

A COCKTAIL-LENGTH DRESS (just above the knees), at right, is appropriate for occasions calling for semi-formal/informal or cocktail attire.

FOR A BLACK TIE OCCASION, men should wear a tuxedo and women should wear a floor-length gown, as shown below.

DRESS CODES DECODED S

parkles arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really my thing, but something about the holidays makes me want to transform my daily outfits into shimmering, twinkling bundles of Christmas joy.

So far this season Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve resisted the sparkling urge, but with so many great holiday parties coming up, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but think a glittering garment is in my future.

However exciting the holiday season is, holiday parties tend to create a bit of anxiety for partygoers. Undoubtedly, a root of this anxiety â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least for women â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is not knowing what to wear.

I plan events through my job at Heartland Community Health Center, and it never fails that about one week before the event, I get numerous emails that usually begin with, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the dress code says _______, but my wife is wondering what she should wear.â&#x20AC;?

Master those pesky dress codes by following this guide.

in long evening gowns. Depending on the event and venue, a cocktaillength dress may work, as long as it is made out of a luxury fabric like silk, satin, chiffon. No cotton dresses for black tie events! Hair and makeup should also reflect the formal occasion.

Creative black tie allows guests freedom to put personal touches on their party wear. Be cautious of getting too creative with creative black tie, but stylish details like patterned or colored socks or a skinny tie are encouraged for men.

Women can go even a little funkier than men. Interesting formal wear or modern jewelry and shoes are completely acceptable.

BLACK TIE/CREATIVE BLACK TIE

SEMI-FORMAL/INFORMAL

Think red carpet. When a black tie invitation is sent out, men should don tuxedos and women are most appropriately dressed

While they seem like somewhat dichotomous terms, semi-formal and informal typically call for the same type of outfit.

Men should wear a suit (darkcolored in the evening, light- or dark-colored during the day).

Ladies, again, we get to choose from a few different styles. Cocktail-length dresses are great, but dressy separates work well, too.

COCKTAIL ATTIRE Cocktail attire means dark suits for men and cocktaillength or other short dresses for women. Other outfits fit into this category as well, such as dressy pantsuits or shirt/skirt combination. iStock photo

BUSINESS FORMAL/ BUSINESS CASUAL

In the workplace, business formal and business casual have two different meanings, but they may refer to the same type of dress outside workplace.

Business formal/business casual, for men, can mean trousers with a nice but-

Women should opt for modest, tailored clothing, such as a suit or a shirt/skirt combination or a conservative dress. Ladies, no excessive skin should show.

FESTIVE ATTIRE Festive attire is exciting and frightening at the same time. On one hand, I love getting into the holiday spirit. On the other hand, I never know when someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wearing a Christmas sweater to be ironic, or when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being serious.

Be careful with festive wear. Show your spirit with some sparkle or color, but be careful to not go over the top (unless thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the host wants!).

CASUAL Casual means everyday wear. Wearing something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d normally wear out to dinner will work well. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ali Edwards can be reached at go@ljworld.com.

Matchmakers, before you hang the mistletoe: A common-sense guide to holiday setups

BY NARA SCHOENBERG, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

W

hen Victorya Michaels Rogers was single, a friend set her up with three men. The first was great, and they dated on and off for a year.

The second was wonderful, but, at 23, a tad young for Rogers, then 30.

The third was an out-of-town businessman Rogers’ friend met at the Golden Globes. Rogers’ friend and the businessman chatted in the lobby and hit it off, and, on a hunch, the friend introduced him to Rogers. When the man came back into town he looked up the two women, and they all went out to lunch. The next night, when he joined them again, this time for an outing with their friends, it was clear that the friend’s instinct had been correct: Rogers was entranced.

“She’s going to marry him — just watch,” Rogers’ friend predicted, correctly, that very night.

In the season of mistletoe and champagne flutes, when visions of chemistry and compatibility dance through aspiring matchmakers’ heads, it’s only natural to want to bring great people together, and dating experts say that singles in search of a serious relationship generally appreciate a thoughtful and tactful setup.

The key, though, is thoughtful and tactful. Just about anyone who has ever dated can tell you about a blind date that never, ever should have happened. And, for the unattached, the holidays are often already a time of unwelcome attention, according to Megan Carson, author of “A Year of Blind Dates: A Single Girl’s Search for ‘The One’” (Regal). “(You think), ‘Oh gosh, I’m by myself, and I have to go to the family dinner, and Uncle Steve is going to ask me for the 100th time why I’m not married yet,’” Carson says. “Often we’re already sensitive, so if you can just find a fun and casual way to connect people I recommend that. Just kind of allow it to happen organically after you make the initial introduction.”

Among her recommendations: Keep the hype (“I know he’s the one for you!”) to a minimum and don’t send people off on blind dates.

Carson, who met her current boyfriend

MATCHMAKING DON’TS

Never lie. If a guy isn’t conven-

tionally handsome and you say he is, that will lead to a really awkward first meeting — even if looks aren’t super-important to either party.

Don’t facilitate one-night stands.

Don’t set up a friend who’s looking for love with a confirmed womanizer (or the female equivalent).

That’s not fair to anyone.

Don’t forget the deal breakers.

through her pastor, recommends having a party or inviting a group of people to a restaurant, bar or concert where introductions can be made without major fanfare.

Rogers, author of “Finding a Man Worth Keeping: 10 Dating Secrets That Work” (Howard Books), favors the group meeting as well. When you introduce the pair, mention a common interest, she says (“I know you both like to ski”) and then stick around, if need be, to get the dialogue going. It’s hard enough to meet somebody new and just start chatting, Rogers says, and the problem is compounded when you throw romantic chemistry into the equation.

Setups can be great, Rogers and Carson agree, but not all setups are created equal.

“Matchmaking is the art of knowing what matters most (to people) and if they’ll have enough in common,” Rogers says.

“You want to know enough about each side to know if they’re going to get along.”

Among the factors you may want to consider: common interests, compatible personalities, life goals and values.

Looks count very much to some people, Rogers says, and you’re not doing your pretty but not-gorgeous gal pal a favor if you set her up with a man who only dates women who look like models.

In one unfortunate case, Rogers recalls, a well-meaning relative arranged for her to meet a successful, good-looking man, who came to her workplace and took her to lunch.

“I didn’t even make it to the car in the parking structure before I knew about his

If your friend doesn’t date, say, tall women or men with crooked teeth, respect that. You shouldn’t expose anyone to unnecessary rejection.

Don’t set up a stranger. Try to

spend some time with an appealing acquaintance before you set him or her up with a friend. That way you can at least get some sense of whether your prospect is a total jerk or an unrepentant gold digger.

obsession with guns,” Rogers says.

The gun talk continued during an uncomfortable lunch in which her date spoke bitterly of his disappointment with himself over his choice, 20 years before, to go to Canada and avoid the draft. He was hor-

rified when Rogers implied that her relative had told them a little about each other: “I told you, I didn’t know anything about you!”

Lauren Kitchens-Steward, a radio host who reunited two old friends who subsequently married, says the two had similar easygoing, fun-loving personalities and “really clicked.”

“I always knew they’d be a great couple,” says Kitchens-Steward, 47, of Tupelo, Miss.

When Rogers talks about great matchmaking, she talks about the friend who introduced her to her husband.

“She had odd quirks, but she ‘got’ people and she focused on the person,” Rogers says of her friend. “She always focused on what the guy was into and personality, and that is the key. You listen to what people are looking for and what they like and don’t like. You don’t always put the pretty people together — it’s who is compatible.”

hole house fans are a great way to save energy in the summer, but if left unattended during the winter months, they can be a drain on your energy budget.

For optimal energy efficiency, both the louvers and the fan housing need to be insulated.

If it is too difficult to access the fan housing in the attic, insulating just the fan louvers is a good option.

Step 1: Pre-made louver covers are available from some manufacturers, but simple plastic sheeting will do an excellent job of keeping warm air in and cold air out.

Choose 4 mil or 6 mil clear plastic sheeting or purchase a package of shrink wrap window film large enough to cover the entire louvered opening.

Step 2: Cut the plastic sheeting one to two inches larger than the louver opening.

Step 3: Install removable double-sided clear tape along the full perimeter of the louvers.

Step 4: Press one edge of the plastic sheeting onto the double-sided tape along one side of the louvers.

Step 5: Pull the plastic taut and continue to press the sheeting up along the edges of the louvers.

Step 6: Pull the plastic tight and press it into place along the center of the other

two sides. Continue to press the plastic into place until it is completely adhered around all edges.

Step 7: For shrink wrap applications, use a hair dryer to heat the plastic until it is taut and virtually invisible across the louver opening.

Step 8: Trim the loose edges of the plastic for a clean, weather-tight cover.

Step 9: If the fan housing is accessible on the attic side, climb into the attic and turn the fan’s safety switch to the “off” position.

Step 10: With gloves on, cut bats of insulation into small sections and press the insulation pieces down into the fan housing.

Step 11: An alternative to stuffing the fan with insulation is to build an insulated box to cover the fan. Select a sheet of 1-inch-thick Styrofoam and use a carton knife to cut a square slightly larger than the fan housing.

Step 12: Cut four sides to match the cover and assemble the box with a goodquality duct tape.

Step 13: Place the box over the fan housing and run a strip of duct tape between it and the floor for added weather protection.
