Crimes, danger made for compelling reads Staff Reports

A squirrel-ignited brush fire and a multimilliondollar drug bust are among the top local stories of 2012.

Here’s a look at the JournalWorld’s top 10 most-read stories, based on the number of online page views.

1. Evacuation lifted for homes near Langston Hughes School in west Lawrence after large grass fire, July 5 Page views: 34,004

The combination of a squirrel caught in a power line and record drought conditions sparked a large brush fire near Langston Hughes School, 1101 George Williams Way. The fire forced the evacuation of the school as well a number of homes in the 6200 block of Palisade Drive. No homes were damaged, but smoke from the 20-foot tall flames could be seen for miles, and it took firefighters nearly three hours to get the blaze under control.

2. Federal officers make

drug arrests in Douglas, Johnson counties; eight suspects are from Lawrence, June 13 Page views: 29,769 In the culmination of a four-year federal drug investigation, police arrested eight Lawrence residents accused of being involved in a conspiracy to distribute 1,000 or more kilos of high-grade marijuana.

In the midst of several multiyear efforts to transform itself, Kansas University will spend 2013 continuing to shift pieces into their new places.

Campaigns to reorient the university strategically, raise hundreds of millions of dollars for support and cut down on inefficiency will all be in full swing in 2013.

In the world of higher education, where major changes are preceded by years’ worth of planning, none of these adjustments’ stories can be told completely within the confines of one calendar year. But 2013 holds in store one huge shift for KU that will change the landscape for students and faculty: a new undergraduate curriculum.

“In the life of a university, that’s kind of a quarter-century event or longer, in some instances,” said KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.

After a planning process dating back to 2009, a new curriculum called the KU Core will go into place in 2013. Its final pieces will take shape during the spring, and in the fall it will take effect for all freshmen and any more advanced students who opt in.

It will be the first curriculum ever to apply to all KU undergraduates, and much of its form is already in place. It will consist of 12 units divided among six learning goals, and Please see KU, page 2A

Business leaders keen to pursue education, industry efforts

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The biggest Lawrence event in the world of business in 2013 actually may be grounded in the world of education.

Greg Williams, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, thinks 2013 is the year construction will begin on a new community college campus in Lawrence that would begin offering technical and vocational training for the area’s workforce.

“We’re getting good feedback not only from the community colleges in the region, but really from the businesses in the region,” Williams said. “They are doing backflips asking us to make this deal happen.

“I haven’t talked to anybody — blue collar, white collar, east Lawrence, west Lawrence — who doesn’t want this project to happen.”

Williams confirmed that the Chamber of Commerce has been in discussion with the Lawrence public school district about how the district and the community could partner on ways to provide more workforce training in the region.

sets a research university like KU apart from, say, a liberal-arts college.

Graduate students, as well as post-doctoral fellows, make it possible for faculty to conduct laborintensive research.

“You can’t really have a high-quality research university without strong graduate students and postdocs,” Gray-Little said.

To that end, Thomas Heilke, KU’s dean of graduate studies, will lead a group that will study how to do things such as increasing funding for students, improving recruitment and shortening the time it takes for students in some programs to earn their doctorates.

“This is not a statement that says we’re getting everything all wrong,” Heilke said. “It’s a statement that says we may have some departments doing things well, others that are not doing as well.”

Faculty positions Another part of bolstering the university’s research profile — a major aim of the “Bold Aspirations” plan — will be increasing both the number and the quality of the faculty, Gray-Little said.

“That’s a critical element for the university’s reputation,” Gray-Little said.

An effort to fill 64 newly created faculty jobs will continue, and Gray-Little said she expects the university to hire at least some of its 12 “Foundation Professors” during 2013. Those are spots designated for high-profile, field-leading faculty that KU aims to draw from other institutions, to be funded with help from a $3 million annual award from the state.

Also helping to fund new faculty hires will be savings from the university’s ongoing “Changing for Excellence” efficiency program, which will continue to spark changes during 2013.

One example of the new efficiency measures, Anderson said, will be “shared service centers.” The idea is to take staff members from academic departments who handle a number of financial or administrative tasks — processing bills, handling reimbursement forms, handling federal grant funds — and move them instead to a “shared center” where they can serve several departments while focusing on one area of work.

“We’re taking the staff we currently have and trying to reorganize them,” Anderson said. ogizes for forwarding email that calls Michelle Obama “Mrs. YoMama”, Jan. 5 Page views: 26,555 Then-Kansas House Speaker Mike O’Neal, RHutchinson, ended up in some hot water last January after sending out an email that referred to Michelle Obama as Mrs. YoMama and compared her appearance to the Grinch.

Interviews have also been completed for the new dean of engineering.

That hire should come early in 2013, Gray-Little said.

Also at the Medical Center, KU will pursue funding from the state to help construct a new medical education building that officials said is necessary for shifting from lecture-based teaching to a small-group, hands-on approach.

NEW YEAR’S EVE

Tipsy Taxi to offer free rides to revelers

By Ian Cummings icummings@ljworld.com

There’s never any reason for New Year’s Eve revelers to risk drinking and driving, and Tipsy Taxi is once again offering to help make sure it doesn’t happen.

From midnight to 3 a.m.

Tuesday, anyone in Lawrence can call Tipsy Taxi for a free ride home.

The free taxi service is offered each year by DCCCA, a Lawrence-based drug and al-

cohol treatment provider, to give potential drunken drivers a safe way home after celebrating the new year. All they have to do is call 842-TAXI. Ground Transportation Services, a Lawrence taxi and shuttle service now under new ownership, is contracted by DCCCA to do the driving.

Jen Jordan, DCCCA’s director of the regional prevention center, urges people to take advantage of the service for whatever reason, even if it’s just to avoid walking home on a cold, dark night.

“You don’t have to be drunk to use the taxi,” Jordan said. “It’s to not only keep yourself safe but keep everyone else safe and avoid the risk of arrest.”

It’s recommended to plan ahead and call early for a ride

to avoid a long wait. Last year, Tipsy Taxi delivered 877 people safely to their destinations.

That’s more than double the number it carried in previous years, Jordan said, partly because Tipsy Taxi’s fleet counted more vans for carrying large groups. More vans will be out again this year, too.

DCCCA depends on donations from the community to help pay for Tipsy Taxi, which usually costs about $2,000 each year. This year, Jordan said, local sponsors covered almost the entire cost of the program.

Alcohol-related traffic fatalities have decreased with the passage of new DUI laws, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Even so, Kansas has recorded 57 such deaths so far this year, with more still to be counted, officials said. Douglas County law enforcement arrested 669 people in 2011 for driving under the influence, according to Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

Largest Kansas wind farm about to go online

Musicians play along at open jam session Photos by John Young

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The largest wind farm to be built in Kansas is set to begin operating within the next few days, but future expansion is up in the air because of the pending expiration of a tax credit companies say is critical to making wind energy competitive.

Flint Ridge 2, jointly owned by BP Wind Energy and Sempra U.S. Gas & Power, will have 294 wind turbines on 66,000 acres in parts of Harper, Barber, Kingman and Sumner counties when it fires up before Tuesday. A BP spokesman declined to be more speKansas is cific about the start date blessed by very than “the end strong winds.” of the year.”

The Kansas City Star — John Graham, the CEO reported that of BP Wind Energy each of the turbines will have the capacity to generate 1.6 megawatts of electricity, or enough to supply 160,000 homes.

Its owners said the $800 million project was built in Kansas partly because of the business environment, but mostly because of the state’s wind resources, ranked second best in the U.S. “Kansas is blessed by very strong winds,” said John Graham, the CEO of BP Wind Energy, which is a unit of the BP oil and natural-gas conglomerate.

Despite its abundant wind, Kansas is ranked only ninth in the amount of wind-energy installations. According to the Kansas Energy Information Network, the state has 2,192 megawatts of wind energy capacity, not counting Flint Ridge 2. By comparison, Iowa has 4,536 megawatts of installed capacity, the third highest in the U.S. The Kansas City, Mo., law firm Polsinelli Shughart conducted a study financed by the wind industry that found wind energy had created 3,484 construction jobs in Kansas, 262 operation and maintenance jobs, and 8,569 indirect and introduced jobs as the investment rippled through the state’s economy.

Landowners have received about $273 million from leasing land for the wind turbines, while community organizations and local and state governments have taken in $208 million.

Despite those economic numbers, wind energy’s future is unclear because of the low price of natural gas — an economical option to generate electricity — and the end of the Production Tax Credit at the end of the month.

Many states, including Kansas and Missouri, have requirements that electric utilities use renewable energy to meet part of their electricity demand. The tax credit, which is used to reduce the price of renewable energy to help make it more competitive, also has provided a boost for the industry.

Graham said it will probably take another six years for the cost of wind turbines to decline enough, and their efficiency to increase enough, to allow wind energy to be competitive without the tax credit.

Small school rebounds with rural focus WALTON (AP) — A small elementary school in southcentral Kansas has rebounded from low enrollments to become an example of charter school success by focusing on elements of rural life.

Demand at the Rural Life Center in Walton, a farming community about five miles east of Newton in Harvey County, has been increasing steadily since it was re-established in 2007 as a charter school that emphasizes agriculture and project-based learning. It’s one of only 17 charter schools in Kansas.

Since re-opening, its enrollment, which had been barely 80 students, has more than doubled, and Walton soon may have to turn students away,

“I just started (the waiting list for) 2018,” said Deb Flavin, the school’s secretary. “My granddaughter was the first one on the 2017 waiting list, and she wasn’t born yet.”

The school has become so popular that a team from New SCHOOLS Zealand visited last month to see how it operated, and officials with the U.S. Department of Education produced a video about Walton’s turnaround, which can be viewed on YouTube.

“Walton is really going above and beyond,” said Jessica Noble, who coordinates

charter schools for the Kansas Department of Education.

“Many other schools are doing great things as well. But the model Walton Rural Life Center is using is very unique and forward-thinking.”

Teacher Johannah Hein’s typical morning to-do list for her first-grade homeroom class includes collecting eggs, feeding cows, goats, sheep and pigs, and straightening the barn.

Second-graders learn how to clean, weigh, package and market eggs, which the school sells for $2 a dozen. Students also fill orders and decide what to do with the proceeds. A list of possibilities includes buying new hens, feed or hay and giving money to the Walton food bank.

“We’re not trying to make a whole school of farmers,” said Walton principal Natise Vogt. “But project-based learning makes a big difference for kids. They learn the hows and the whys behind what they’re learning.”

The school, which operates within the Newton school district, is trying to raise $300,000 to build two new classrooms, including a new kindergarten.

If it can’t, nearly 20 kindergartners on the list for next school year won’t be able to attend, Vogt said.

“That saddens me, but we just don’t have the room,” she said. “Success and popularity are wonderful, but eventually you run out of space, and that’s where we are.”

SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID, D-NEV., WALKS to a closed-door meeting with fellow Democrats as he and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., work to negotiate a legislative path to avoid the so-called “fiscal cliff,” Sunday at the Capitol in Washington. Senate and House leaders are rushing to assemble a last-ditch agreement to stave off middle-class tax increases and possibly delay steep spending cuts in an urgent attempt to find common ground after weeks of gridlock.

Fiscal cliff deal proving elusive ——————

Still ‘significant distance’ between GOP, Democrats

By Alan Fram and Andrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Capitol Hill deal to avert the “fiscal cliff” was proving elusive Sunday as a deadline to avert tax hikes on virtually every American worker and block sweeping spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and other federal agencies grew perilously near.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell remained at odds on such key issues as the income threshold for higher tax rates and how to deal with inheritance taxes, among other issues. McConnell complained that Reid had yet to respond to a GOP offer made Saturday evening and reached out to Vice President Joe Biden, a longtime friend, in hopes of breaking the impasse. Biden assumed the lead role for Democrats, and a McConnell spokesman said the Kentucky Republican and the vice president were expected to negotiate by telephone into the night.

Rank-and-file lawmakers left the Capitol Sunday night with hopes that their leaders would give them something to vote on when they returned Monday morning.

One sign of progress

came as Republicans withdrew a long-discussed proposal to slow future cost-of-living increases for Social Security recipients as part of a compromise to avoid the cliff. Democrats said earlier Sunday that proposal had put a damper on the talks, and Republican senators emerging from a closed-door GOP meeting said it is no longer part of the equation.

“I was really gratified to hear that Republicans have taken their demand for Social Security benefit cuts off the table. The truth is they should never have been on the table to begin with,” Reid said late Sunday afternoon. “There is still significant distance between the two sides, but negotiations continue.”

At stake are sweeping tax hikes and across-theboard spending cuts set to take effect at the turn of the year. Taken together, they’ve been dubbed the fiscal cliff, and economists warn the one-two punch — which leaders in both parties have said they want to avoid — could send the still-fragile economy back into recession.

Tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 expire at midnight Monday, and $109 billion in across-the-board cuts in federal spending this year would also begin this week.

Workers could see more taxes withheld from

their paychecks and federal agencies are likely to soon receive warning of possible furloughs if lawmakers fail to reach a deal to avert the cliff. The new Congress will be sworn in on Thursday and would inherit the problem if the current crop of lame-duck lawmakers can’t find an answer before then.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said the two sides remained at odds over the income threshold for higher tax rates and tax levels on large estates. Republicans said that Democratic demands for new money to prevent a cut in Medicare payments to doctors and renew jobless benefits for the longterm unemployed should be financed with cuts elsewhere in the budget. Republicans also balked at a Democratic proposal to use new tax revenues to shut off the across-the-board spending cuts, known as a sequester in Washingtonspeak.

President Barack Obama, in a televised interview, blamed Republicans for putting the nation’s shaky economy at risk.

“We have been talking to the Republicans ever since the election was over,” Obama said in the interview that was taped Saturday and aired Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” ‘‘They have had trouble saying yes to a number of repeated offers.”

Obama wants gun violence measures passed in 2013 WASHINGTON — Recalling the shooting rampage that killed 20 first-graders as the worst day of his presidency, President Barack Obama pledged to put his “full weight” behind legislation aimed at preventing gun violence.

Obama voiced skepticism about the National Rifle Association’s proposal to put armed guards in schools following the Dec. 14 tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. The president made his comments Saturday in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC’s

“Meet the Press.”

Instead, the president vowed to rally the American people around an Obama agenda to limit gun violence, adding that he still supports increased background checks and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity bullet magazines. He left no doubt it will be one of his top priorities next year.

“It is not enough for us to say, ‘This is too hard so

we’re not going to try,’” Obama said.

“I think there are a vast majority of responsible gun owners out there who recognize that we can’t have a situation in which somebody with severe psychological problems is able to get the kind of high capacity weapons that this individual in Newtown obtained and gun down our kids,” he added. “And, yes, it’s going to be hard.”

The president added that he’s ready to meet with Republicans and Democrats, anyone with a stake in the issue.

Drought woes The reservoirs that supply water to many Kansas cities already are depleted and continued drought will only make the situation worse.

U

nless you burrow deep into the city of Lawrence’s website, you might not know that the state’s drought is beginning to catch up with us here.

The utility department has this statement posted: “Because of recent drought conditions in Eastern Kansas, the Kansas River Water Assurance District No. 1 and the Kansas Water Office have requested the City of Lawrence to implement the water watch stage of our water conservation plan.”

That’s the first stage of the city’s drought contingency plan and it basically means make the public aware of the situation.

It coincides with an announcement last week that the state’s drought task force will begin meeting more frequently to assess the dry conditions afflicting the state. All parts of Kansas are in a “severe” drought condition, and 36 percent, mainly in northwest Kansas, is considered in “exceptional” (the worst) drought condition, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.

Along the Kansas River basin, outflows from reservoirs continue to exceed inflows. In other words, the reservoirs are not refilling. Water quality storage in Tuttle Creek Reservoir was down to 42 percent at the end of November and has continued to drop throughout December.

Milford is at 66 percent, Perry is at 74 percent, and Clinton is down to 73 percent.

For comparison, last year at the comparable time, Tuttle Creek was at 100 percent, and Clinton was at 83 percent.

The state reported that nearly 600,000 acre-feet of water have been lost since April in the 13 lakes with state water storage. In the Kansas River basin, since Sept. 4, reservoir storage has been depleted by nearly 73,000 acre-feet. (An acre-foot is the amount of water needed to cover an acre with one foot of water.

One acre-foot contains 325,851.43 gallons.)

At the beginning of December, the city of Lawrence was using about 7.8 million gallons of water daily. The depletion at reservoirs in the Kansas River basin just in the past four months is enough to have supplied the city for more than eight years!

One measure of the economic impact of the drought is in crop insurance payments: Dale Rodman, Kansas secretary of agriculture, noted that this year – so far – these payments have exceeded $1 billion.

“We’re getting in a tough spot,” Gov. Sam Brownback observed in commenting on a heightened focus for the drought task force. The governor, Rodman and Tracy Streeter, director of the Kansas Water Office who chairs the task force, all emphasized the seriousness of the situation.

Without significant rain or snow during the remaining winter months, Kansas will find itself with even greater problems come spring. Tough spot indeed!

Fighting China corruption a tall order WASHINGTON — Who will have the world’s hardest job in 2013? There are many candidates for that role, but my nominee would be Vice Premier Wang Qishan, who has just been given the near-impossible assignment of combating corruption in China.

China-watchers see Wang as a crucial player in the new Chinese government headed

by Xi Jinping. It will fall to Wang, as the new head of the Communist Party’s Central Commission for Discipline, to crack the whip and stop the thievery before it devours China.

Wang’s nickname in Chinese is “chief of the fire brigade,” earned in earlier stints during the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the SARS epidemic in 2003.

Wang met with President Obama at the White House on Dec. 20. He was in America officially for trade talks, as head of the U.S.-China Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade. He was the first representative of Xi’s new Politburo to meet with Obama.

Wang’s mission is to address China’s greatest vulnerability. There are 80 million party members in China, competing for about 40,000 important local positions.

China experts say these jobs are now routinely bought and sold, often for huge sums, with the winners soliciting graft from subordinates and local businesses.

The corruption isn’t limited to politics. Top military

“

This out-of-control corruption frightens China’s new leaders, who know the public is increasingly angry about dirty dealings by public officials.” positions are also obtained by bribes, with the winners harvesting millions in graft.

U.S. experts say that a onestar general can expect to receive up to $10 million in gifts and special deals; a fourstar regional commander can make $50 million or more.

This out-of-control corruption frightens China’s new leaders, who know the public is increasingly angry about dirty dealings by public officials. But Xi and many of his fellow rulers are known as “princelings,” because their families have grown rich from their closeness to power. They want to clean out the stable without burning it down.

Xi delivered a sharp warning in November, in his first speech as party chief. “If corruption becomes increasingly serious, it will inevita-

bly doom the party and the state,” he said. He spoke about “grave violations of disciplinary rules” and cases that have been “extremely malign in nature and utterly destructive politically, shocking people to the core.”

The new leader used a Chinese proverb to underline his point that the system is rotting from within. “Worms come only after matter decays,” Xi said.

The most notorious corruption case was the sacking in March of the high-flying Bo Xilai, the party chief in Chongqing. But China experts say that similar graft and abuse exist in every province and district of China.

Bo’s wife has been convicted for her role in the murder of a British businessman, but Bo’s case is still unresolved — an illustration of how delicate it will be for the ruling elite to control a system from which they have benefited.

Among the first decisions announced by the new leadership was to put Wang in charge of party discipline.

In early December, the Politburo announced new rules limiting spending on travel and entertainment by party officials, and Xi illustrated the theme by traveling to Guangdong on Dec. 7 with an intentional lack of official motorcades and fanfare. But those were puny, symbolic steps, given the scope of the problem.

A hint of the purges that may lie ahead was Wang’s decision in early December

to investigate the deputy party chief in Sichuan province for allegedly buying and selling party positions. Wang himself is seen as uncorrupted, partly because he doesn’t have any children, who often operate as family bribe-takers. “If Xi has the inclination and power to unleash Wang, it could be transformative,” says Christopher Johnson, a former CIA official who’s the top China scholar at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Wang’s role as party disciplinarian was highlighted for me by Randal Phillips, a former CIA official in Beijing who now heads the China office of the Mintz Group, a New York-based consulting firm that helps western and Chinese businesses with investigative tasks. Phillips says he advises U.S. companies in China to make clear from the outset that they won’t pay bribes, and to hedge their bets in picking Chinese partners and patrons, given the political jockeying that’s taking place.

What risk does Wang, the party hatchet man, see if the regime fails to discipline corruption in its ranks?

Perhaps he fears a revolution. A Chinese publication noted on Dec. 24 that he has been urging officials to read Alexis de Tocqueville’s “The Old Regime and the Revolution,” evidently as a warning of how a regime can destroy itself from within.

Unfair criticism

Volunteers strengthen America

By Wendy Spencer and Ilir Zherka

The pundits often describe our country as fractious and disconnected — but Americans’ commitment to strengthen our communities through service reflects a far different story. Volunteerism and civic involvement in our nation is alive and well. Last year alone, the number of formal volunteers reached its highest level in five years, as 64.3 million Americans volunteered through an organization, an increase of 1.5 million from 2010.

Overall, one in four adults volunteered through an organization, providing almost 8 billion hours and an estimated economic value of $171 billion. In addition to volunteering through organizations, two out of three Americans serve informally by helping out their neighbors, an increase of 9.5 percentage points from last year.

The findings come from Volunteering and Civic Life in America, a report issued last week by the Corporation for National and Community Service and the National Conference on Citizenship.

These findings shine a light on a civic reawakening that is happening across the nation, as Americans offer their time and talent in communities devastated by disasters, help veterans and military families become employed, coor-

“

We see the miracle of the American spirit when millions of citizens from across the country volunteer to help one another.

dinate food drives, help their neighbors and lead programs at their local community centers.

We see the miracle of the American spirit when millions of citizens from across the country volunteer to help one another. We see the power of role models as thousands of mentors come through classrooms and after-school programs to provide stability in the lives of children. We see the impact of pro-bono service with hundreds of businesses, large and small, mobilizing their employees to serve their communities through skillsbased volunteering. And, in the last two months, we have seen thousands of volunteers come together to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

Even in tough times, Americans are stepping up.

In fact, some of the busiest people are the most active volunteers: mom and dad.

More than 33 percent of parents with school-age children contributed more than 2.5 billion hours of their time to volunteer efforts in 2011, most of it to school-based projects, underscoring the

pivotal role that schools play as hubs for local volunteer efforts. Working mothers volunteered at an even higher rate of nearly 40 percent.

When comparing states, Utah, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota lead the way with the highest levels of volunteering respectively.

Among other key findings, the report shows that almost half of Americans actively participated in civic, religious, and school groups.

Volunteering and civic engagement are the cornerstone of a strong nation, and service has long been a hallmark of the American spirit. Benjamin Franklin, who started the first volunteer firefighter company and first public library, held the conviction that our society thrived when citizens come together in a spirit of cooperation to accomplish great things through service to others. Citizens who volunteer, collaborate, and trust each other are part of the solution to strengthen communities across this country, which makes for a better America.

— Wendy Spencer is CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the federal agency that promotes volunteering and service. Ilir Zherka is the executive director of the National Conference on Citizenship, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization working at the forefront of our nation’s civic life. This essay was distributed by McClatchy-Tribune News Service

To the editor: Several recent letters to the editor responding to a letter from Carl Burkhead on the Newtown tragedy have seemed incredulous to me. The original letter simply stated that the problem at the core of the Newtown deaths was connected to the current rejection of God and His guidance by our current society. By most historical standards, this modern separation from God would have been seen as fact. Additionally, there was no indication of a “vengeful” God in the original letter or even any indication that God possessed these qualities. The response letters therefore were assuming facts not evidenced in Mr. Burkhead’s letter and, one could honestly conclude, may have been written by individuals who have already judged God to be vengeful and untrustworthy.

Anyone writing to the editor has the right to state their views, but responders are obligated to refute the letter with facts and in a nonjudgmental manner.

Anyone who believes that the God of Christianity will take vengeance on the human race unless we follow certain rules and regulations can state that fact in their own letter but cannot do so by misquoting the message in another person’s letter.

I personally believe the theological admonition that “all things betray thee that betray Me” is at the core of the conflict between our current society and God’s laws.

If we continue on this path, we will assuredly continue to endure all kinds of human tragedy as we just saw in Newtown.

Patrick Butler, Lawrence

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Can KU keep on streakin’?

No Big 12 basketball team looks to have what it will take to deny Kansas University (11-1) a ninth consecutive conference title, and the gap between the best and the rest appears wider than in most seasons.

Still, with a nonconference game against a Temple team that recently gave Syracuse its first loss, it’s too early to discuss whether KU has a legitimate chance at an undefeated Big 12 season.

KU ran the table in 20012002 en route to a 33-4 record that ended in the Final Four in Atlanta with a semifinal loss to nationalchampion Maryland and never has done so again.

The conference schedule is two games longer now with 18 games, which makes the feat even tougher. If the Jayhawks pulled it off this season, it would come as no greater a shock than some of the remarkable streaks going on of late with a team that only vaguely resembles the squad that lost Nov. 13 to Michigan State in Atlanta in the Georgia Dome, site of this year’s Final Four.

Streaks such as: # In the past four games, sophomore guard Naadir Tharpe has played 71 minutes without committing a turnover and has 22 assists.

He has made seven of nine three-pointers in the last three games. #"Senior starting power forward Kevin Young has not missed a shot from the field in three consecutive games. In 69 minutes of action, he has shot 8-for8 from the field against Richmond, Ohio State and American. #"Since busting out of an 0-for-11, season-opening three-point shooting slump, senior guard Travis Releford has made 16 of 25 threepointers (64 percent), nine for 11 (82 percent) in the last four games. #"In the last five games, scholarship players have made more three-point shots (43) than they have missed (42) for a percentage of .506. During that span, each opponent had an overall shooting percentage of less than .40. #"KU’s home-court winning streak stands at 29 games, second only to Syracuse (31). Saturday’s victory against American, the weakest team on KU’s schedule, pushed the Allen Fieldhouse winning streak against nonconference competition to 62 games.

Just eight of those 62 victims have lost by singledigit margins since Oral Roberts defeated Kansas, 78-71, Nov. 15, 2006. Would you believe 27 of the 62 victims (44 percent) have lost by margins of 30 points or greater? In both the 200708 and 2009-10 seasons, KU blistered seven teams by 30 points or more.

Bill Self’s record stands at 152-7 in his favorite basketball building.

If KU can defeat Temple and win each of its nine conference games in Allen Fieldhouse en route to a conference championship, Self would finish the season with two more consecutive Big 12 titles (nine) than Allen Fieldhouse losses (seven). Remarkable.

Clinic breaks up break-within-a-break

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

A 12-day gap in the schedule between their nonconference finale at Cal and their Big 12 opener at home against Kansas State afforded members of Kansas University’s women’s basketball team the chance to get away for the holidays.

They’ve been back in town a few days and broke up the monotony of semesterbreak practices leading up to Wednesday’s rivalry clash with the Wildcats by entertaining close to 300 girls and boys, as well as some of their family members, at KU’s annual Holiday Hoops Clinic Sunday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.

Of course, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson made sure her players practiced beforehand, in the morning. She didn’t want the youngsters wearing out the No. 22 Jayhawks (9-2) before the coaching staff had a crack at doing the same.

“The most important thing here is just the energy our players have to teach and to interact,” Henrickson said of the clinic. “We’re teaching some, but it’s more about being able to show your personality.”

KU senior forward Carolyn Davis called it a fun afternoon with the youngsters, kindergartners through eighth-graders.

“They just want to play, shoot the ball, run around and have fun with us,” Davis said.

The only problem, Davis added, was sometimes children are far more interested in shooting than learning about other basketball fundamentals. So it was up to those KU players at the dribbling, passing and other not-as-cap-

tivating stations to conquer that challenge.

“We’ve got to find a way to make it fun, to make it interactive for them,” said Davis, in charge of passing drills. “You try to give them games, competitions, anything to spice it up a little bit.”

Henrickson called the clinic a great way for the Jayhawks to give back to the community and help the kids run off some of the holiday treats on which they’ve been feasting.

“I think we got most of the

cookies out of our system,” Henrickson said of KU’s players.

The ninth-year KU coach found basketball less important at the clinic — for the KU players and coaches, at least — than the chance to interact with the youths. Henrickson related that children leave the clinic talking about how “Bunny (Williams) talked to me, Chelsea (Gardner) shook my hand, Angel (Goodrich) high-fived me, and I got to talk to Carolyn and Angel and Monica (Engelman).”

The gap in KU’s schedule came up when no opponent could be found for the available dates between Christmas and the Jayhawks’ Jan. 2 conference opener. Henrickson said Kansas did some things well in its last game, an 88-79 loss at Cal on Dec. 21, and she hopes the players can carry those over to the game against K-State on Wednesday (7 p.m. tipoff at Allen Fieldhouse).

Last season, Kansas had to play on Dec. 28 after going home for the holidays. Davis said easing back into the schedule should help the Jayhawks.

“Just to be able to come back and focus on ourselves for these long amount of days before K-State,” Davis said, “gives us a lot of confidence.”

Lately, Tharpe incomparable ————

KU backup guard credits brother for his recent emergence

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Naadir Tharpe, who has been on quite a roll with 22 assists against no turnovers the last four games, grinned Saturday night when asked if he’d compare himself to another height-challenged point guard, Allen Iverson.

“I don’t compare myself to anybody ... Iverson shot the ball 20 times a game,” said Tharpe, Kansas University’s 5-foot-11, 170-pound sophomore backup point guard, who dished 12 assists against no turnovers and hit three three-pointers in Sat-

urday’s 89-57 rout of American.

“If anybody, I’d say more like Chris Paul, maybe ... Steve Nash,” he added.

Tharpe, who has made nine of his last 11 shots and seven of his last nine threes, shattered his previous career-high assist mark of five set against Chattanooga this season and Howard his freshman campaign. The 12 assists were sixth-most in a game in KU history, just six off Tom Kivisto’s record of 18 dimes in 1973.

All in all, it was spectacular play in just 20 minutes.

“I definitely played better

than this in high school, but I’m not going to compare a high school game to a college game. I had a game where I had 16 assists, close to 20 (at Brewster Academy). I just have a different mind-set right now when it comes to basketball,” added Tharpe, a Worcester, Mass., native.

The modest Tharpe didn’t list himself when asked who was “responsible” for his emergence as a solid sub to Elijah Johnson.

“I would say mostly my older brother, Tishaun,” Tharpe said. “We’ve been

EAGLES COACH ANDY REID WATCHES THE SECOND HALF of an eventual 42-7 loss to the Giants on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J. Sources say Reid has been fired.

Sources say Reid finished in Philadelphia EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andy Reid is out after 14 years coaching the Philadelphia Eagles, three people familiar with the decision told the Associated Press following Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 42-7 season-ending loss to the New York Giants.

Reid is scheduled to meet with owner Jeffrey Lurie today to discuss his future and an official announcement will come afterward, according to one person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because a final agreement hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been reached. That person says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance Reid might remain with the team in some capacity.

Reid is due to make $6 million in 2013 in the final year of his contract. He said he wants to coach next year, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible Lurie could persuade him to take a season off and perhaps help out in the front office in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;advisoryâ&#x20AC;? role.

Eagles spokesman Derek Boyko denied several reports that Lurie has already fired Reid, saying itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely, 100 percentâ&#x20AC;? untrue.

The Eagles (4-12) finished their worst season under Reid by losing 11 of their last 12 games.

They missed the playoffs two straight years for the first time under Reid.

After the ugly loss to the Giants (9-7), Reid sounded like a man who knew he was going to lose his job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very good,â&#x20AC;? Reid said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my responsibility, and I take complete blame for it.â&#x20AC;?

Asked if he wants to return in 2013, Reid said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all in.â&#x20AC;?

Lurie said after the Eagles went 8-8 in 2011 that he considered firing Reid. He gave him another chance, but said before this season that 8-8 would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;unacceptable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I go in eyes wide open,â&#x20AC;? Reid said of his meeting with Lurie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either way, I understand. Whatever he chooses will be the right thing. He always does things for the best interests of the Eagles.â&#x20AC;?

Reid won more games (140) than any coach in franchise history. He led the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, six division titles, five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl loss.

But he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the big one and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s measured in a city that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t celebrated an NFL title since 1960.

Newtownians attend game EAST RUTHEFORD, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carrying signs to express their gratitude and their choice of love over violence in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, approximately 400 residents of Newtown, Conn., attended the New York Giants-Philadelphia Eagles game Sunday.

The residents, including about 200 students from the school system, formed a gantlet to welcome players from both teams before the game.

They then held hands and ringed the field as the national anthem was played at MetLife Stadium.

Players on both teams exchanged high-fives with the residents, who the Giants said included the family of Jack Pinto, the 6-year-old fan of the Giants who was buried in a No. 80 jersey of Victor Cruz, his favorite player.

Talks to resume today NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NHL and the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association are ready to get back to the bargaining table.

There were no formal negotiations Sunday, but all signs pointed to talks today in an effort to end the lockout and save the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be no further face-to-face meetings today,â&#x20AC;? the union said in a statement Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plan is for the sides to meet tomorrow.â&#x20AC;?

Those would be the first negotiations since the sides met with a federal mediator Dec. 13.

The league and the union had informational discussions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by conference call and in meetings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with staff members that lasted much of Saturday and concluded Sunday. Those talks were spurred by the nearly 300-page contract proposal the NHL presented to the union Thursday.

All games through Jan. 14 have been canceled, claiming more than 50 percent of the original schedule. The NHL wants to reach a deal by Jan. 11 and open the season Jan. 19, with a 48-game schedule.

Michigan State (7-6) labored through the first half before going on the longest drive in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowl history, a 90-yard march capped by freshman Connor Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Burbridge in the third quarter.

The Spartans recovered a muffed punt by TCUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Skye Dawson at the four-yard line midway through the fourth, and Bell scored two plays later by racing around left end for a 14-13 lead.

TCU (7-6) rallied to set up Jaden Overkrom for a 53-yard field goal with 2:42 left, but left Conroy too much time for his second straight postseason game-winner after beating Georgia with a 28-yard kick in the third overtime of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outback Bowl.

DENVER 38, KANSAS CITY 3

Broncos take top spot DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning figured one onehanded catch deserved another.

So, up the ladder he went — throwing the ball high in the back of the end zone to Demaryius Thomas.

Thomas leaped and brought it down with his right hand, then got both feet down inside the line for a touchdown. With that, he joined Eric Decker in Denver’s one-handedtouchdown club Sunday and gave the Broncos another otherworldly highlight to go with their home-field advantage throughout the playoffs after a 38-3 runaway over the Kansas City Chiefs.

“They claim they can do that all the time,” said cornerback Champ Bailey, who got to watch the replays of both catches about a half-dozen times on the scoreboard. “They say they practice that. I don’t see it. But as long as they do it on Sunday, I’m all for it. Those are some great, hard-working boys and I expect nothing less.”

Manning, in search of his fifth MVP award and, yes, a second Super Bowl title, finished 23-for-29 for 304 yards, three scores and a 144.8 passer rating.

One of his main competitors for the award, Adrian Peterson of the Vikings, ran for 199 yards to reach 2,097 for the season in a 37-34 victory over Green

sitting down and talking to each other a lot, as well as coach (Bill Self) and my teammates encouraging me.”

Tharpe, who lost his dad, Ronald Edward Tharpe, to cancer in 2006, has a mentor and role model in 34-year-old brother Tishaun Jenkins, who was a first-team NCAA Div. III All-America point guard at Salem State University in Massachusetts.

Jenkins led Salem State to its first and only Final Four appearance in 2000 and was recently named to the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame.

“I talk to him after every game I play,” Tharpe said.

“He always tells me what I need to do better. He tells me I need to take a different mind-set out here. You have to be everywhere on the court. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Jenkins explained his “be everywhere” philosophy in a phone interview with the Journal-World from his home in Worcester, where the former school teacher now works for Verizon.

“That is my thing,” Jenkins said. “I said, ‘Naadir, you have to have the will to make every play ... to say I want to make the shot, grab the rebound, outlet it. I want to get it going and finish it right. I want to play defense, do everything, whatever it takes, do everything, be everywhere.’

“Right now, I think he’s just figured some things out. He’s more comfortable,” Jenkins added of the

DENVER MIDDLE LINEBACKER KEITH BROOKING (57) SACKS Kansas City quarterback Brady Quinn in the third quarter. The Broncos pillaged the Chiefs, 38-3, Sunday in Denver.

Bay that secured a playoff berth.

That one went down to the wire. Manning was out of his game by the fourth quarter.

This was the second straight Sunday he used a grey-and-orange glove to prepare for the cold, playoff weather he could face at home the next two games.

“I threw it OK today, I guess,” said Manning, who finished the season with 4,659 yards, 37 touchdowns and a 105.8 passer rating, all second best in his 15-year career.

Thanks to Houston’s 28-16 loss to Indianapolis before the Broncos kicked off, Denver (13-3) will be the top seed for the sixth time. The Broncos made

CBS made the call on the game time after learning the NFL playoff match-ups. main reason for his brother’s success.

The success has come out of nowhere. Naadir was at the nadir after playing poorly in a victory over Saint Louis on Nov. 20. He had three points and two assists, missing four of five shots in 22 minutes.

“He was down, almost to the point, ‘I don’t know if I can do this, Ti,’” Jenkins related. “I was like, ‘You don’t quit. When the going gets tough, you get tougher. When it gets tougher you get tougher and tougher. That’s how it goes. You take that motivation to get better and show what you are about.

Meet the challenge.’”

Sensing a need to catch his brother’s attention further, Jenkins after the Saint Louis game told Tharpe of a conversation he had with Self last January.

“Last year, coach said, ‘Tishaun, let’s be honest.

Naadir is not going to go and dominate a basketball game,’” Jenkins said. “I am one of those guys … my coach told me as a junior in college that I reached my pinnacle. I put signs everywhere in my dorm room to stay motivated because this guy thought I was as good as I was going to be.

the Super Bowl four of the previous five times they’ve had home-field advantage.

Though the Chiefs (214) gave the Broncos as tough a tussle as anyone during their 11-game winning streak — in a 17-9 loss last month — this wasn’t expected to be much of a game. It wasn’t.

Leave it to Manning, ever the perfectionist, to ramp up the degree of difficulty.

On the 16-yard touchdown to Decker, Manning slightly overthrew the pass but Decker reached out with his left hand, brought the ball into his helmet, had it pinball against his facemask twice, then cradled it with both hands as he was falling to the ground.

I told my brother, ‘Coach Self said you can’t dominate a game.’ I don’t know if that put a little fire under his butt. It seems it has.

“I think coach Self is one of the best coaches in the country. I said to him (Tharpe), ‘If he thinks you can’t dominate, either that’s a lack of effort in practice or you are not showing him what you can do. On the court, you are definitely not showing him what you can do.’”

That was about the time Jenkins asked Self if KU could provide a counselor to help Tharpe work on some issues regarding his dad’s death.

“He spoke to someone the course of the whole year,” Jenkins said, expressing thanks to KU and Self for the forum for Tharpe to speak about his dad. “When you lose your father, you lose your sense of security. You could talk to him. He didn’t make decisions for you but gave you options, methods, ways to go. When you lose that, it’s on you.”

Speaking about reasons for his improvement, Tharpe said ... “I just feel like I’m going out and playing basketball. It’s something I’ve been doing my whole life. I know what I need to do on the court — that’s find people and get them when they are open.”

As far as his scoring 25 points the last three games ... “A lot of coaches that coached me always said I was a good shooter.

Growing up, my brother always told me, ‘You’ve got a nice stroke,’” Tharpe said. “Coach Self says the same thing. He gets mad if I don’t shoot open shots so I know I’ve got to shoot the ball when I’m open.”

PLAYOFFS ROUNDUP

’Skins, Seattle paired The Associated Press

RGIII and the Washington Redskins are heading to the playoffs as NFC East champions.

By winning their seventh straight game, the Redskins rolled to their first division title in 13 years with a 28-18 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Next up for Robert Griffin III & Co.: a home playoff match-up Sunday with the Seattle Seahawks.

Thanks to Houston’s late-season slump, Denver and New England will have byes when the AFC playoffs begin next week.

The Texans fell from first to third in the conference Sunday when they lost 28-16 at Indianapolis, which welcomed back coach Chuck Pagano after nearly three months of treatments for leukemia.

AFC West champion Denver won its 11th straight game, 38-3 over Kansas City to secure the top seed. New England blanked Miami 28-0 for the second spot.

Minnesota edged Green Bay 37-34 to grab the final NFC wild card, sinking the Packers to the third seed. Those teams will meet again next Saturday night at Lambeau Field.

The other NFC matchup will have Seattle (11-5), which beat St. Louis 20-13, at Washington on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. CT. Cincinnati (10-6) will be at Houston on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. CT, and Indianapolis (11-5) goes to Baltimore (10-6) at noon on Sunday in the AFC wildcard rounds.

The divisional round games will be hosted by Denver on Saturday, Jan. 12, followed by San Francisco (11-4-1) at night. On Sunday, Jan. 13, Atlanta (13-3) will host the early game, followed by New England (12-4).

Peyton Manning threw for three touchdowns as Denver (13-3) routed the Chiefs. New England got the second seed despite having the same record as Houston because it beat the Texans, who lost three of their final four games.

Adrian Peterson had 199 yards against the Packers, finishing with 2,097 — Dickerson’s single-season rushing mark is 2,105. But it was rookie kicker Blair Walsh who won it with a 29-yard field goal as time expired.

“Ultimately we got the ‘W,’” Peterson said. “I told myself to come into this game focused on one thing, and that’s winning.”

Green Bay would have been seeded second in the NFC by beating Minnesota.

“The road got a little tougher having to play on opening weekend, but we’ve got a home game and that’s why you win the division,” Aaron Rodgers said. “We get to go back home, and the game will be different. They won’t have home-crowd advantage, and hopefully that will make a difference.”

Baltimore Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed is looking forward to a reunion with Pagano. He wishes it would come a little later in the postseason.

“Chuck’s like a dad to me,” Reed said “He means a lot to me. I would have much rather seen them in the AFC championship game than the first game.”

But Reed will see him next week at Baltimore.

The Ravens had a chance to move up to the AFC’s third seed with a win and a New England loss. But Baltimore lost at Cincinnati as both teams played backups for much of the game. ! Playoffs glance on

Stepchildren cause problems in wife’s family life Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

relationship with them, but in doing so, he allowed me to be viewed as the enemy. I stopped being included in family plans.

Now his ex-wife and grown children treat my husband as if he is single. The holidays are fine, since the grown children spend them with their mother, and my husband spends his with our little family.

However, he attends his children’s graduations, weddings and birthdays without me.

I love my husband.

Recalling old acquaintances Where did the year go? Can it already be the time for “New York’s Rockin’ Eve Celebrates Dick Clark” (7 p.m., ABC)? The special, hosted by Fergie and Jenny McCarthy, looks back at Clark’s many decades as a television personality and his long association with hosting ABC’s New Year’s Eve celebration.

Clark died this year, but not before passing the hosting baton to Ryan Seacrest, who will be seen on “Dick Clark’s Primetime New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2013” (9 p.m., ABC).

Dick Clark wasn’t the only television personality to depart in 2012. As stars go, Andy Griffith and Larry Hagman were in rare company. Both men created iconic television characters and had two hit series (“The Andy Griffith Show” and “Matlock”; “I Dream of Jeannie” and “Dallas”).

Jack Klugman also appeared in two notable series, “The Odd Couple” and “Quincy, M.E.” Only nostalgia clouds the fact that “The Odd Couple” never had good ratings when it first aired on ABC. Oscar winner and “McHale’s Navy” star Ernest Borgnine was working up until the time of his death in 2012. Phyllis Diller’s attempts at prime-time sitcoms were never successful, but the pioneering female comic was a staple of variety shows for decades. And just as Dick Clark “owned” New Year’s Eve, Christmas wasn’t really Christmas until Andy Williams showed up in a nice sweater.

Viewers always knew they were going to see somebody squirm during an interview with Mike Wallace on “60 Minutes.” And let’s not forget “Soul Train” host Don Cornelius, “The Monkees” star Davy Jones, NFL star-turned-actor Alex Karras or “Evening Shade” star Charles Durning.

No one would accuse astronaut Neil Armstrong of being a TV star or remotely “showbiz” in any way.

But he was at the center of the 1969 moon landing, the most anticipated and watched moment in global television history.

Tonight’s other highlights

Nick Cannon counts down viewer-selected videos on “TeenNick Top 10: Best of 2012” (7 p.m., TeenNick).

The ball drops on “NBC’s New Year’s Eve With Carson Daly 2012” (9 p.m.).

Lifehouse and Carmen Electra perform on “New Year’s Eve Live! ’12” (10 p.m., Fox).

Adult Swim presents “The Eric Andre New Year’s Eve Spooktacular” (10:30 p.m., Cartoon Network).

BIRTHDAYS

Actor Sir Anthony Hopkins is 75. Rock musician Andy Summers is 70. Actor Sir Ben Kingsley is 69. Fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg is 66. Actor Tim Matheson is 65. Actress Bebe Neuwirth is 54. Actor Val Kilmer is 53. Singer Paul Westerberg is 53. Author Nicholas Sparks is 47. Rapper PSY (Park Jae-sang) is 35. Olympic gold medal gymnast Gabby Douglas is 17.

He is happy with us and lets us know. Most of all, he thanks us for allowing him to be a normal parent. He has his adult children in his life and sees them once or twice a year, but the situation is becoming increasingly untenable to me.

I no longer know what line to draw. Where do we go from here? — The Second Wife

Hubby would be enormously grateful.

Dear Second: Actually, the line was drawn some time ago: Your husband attends his grown children’s functions without you.

This is not ideal, but it also doesn’t have to be cause for constant misery. It would show tremendous grace for you to tell your husband to go and spend time with his adult children, without any residual bitterness on your part.

It’s only once or twice a year, and we suspect

Dear Tired: We trust your husband is aware of the severe health risks of having untreated sleep apnea. However, you cannot force him to do anything about it, so we recommend that you invest in earplugs or that one of you sleep in another room.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Monday, Dec. 31: This year you enjoy relating on a one-on-one level. Though you love to socialize, you also appreciate the exchange that goes on just between two people. If you are single, you attract people from out of the blue and in odd situations. If you are attached, the two of you love going on getaways together.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Your imagination dominates most situations. Do not sit on your anger. Tonight: Express your anger effectively.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Decide to make New Year’s plans that involve having a party at your house. It’s OK if this is a last-minute decision. Tonight: Anchor in.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Make calls early in the day. You could wonder where a situation ends and/or begins. Tonight: If you haven’t made your resolutions yet, do it now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Help a friend let go of a difficult year. Your caring is appreciated by this person. Tonight: Ring in the new year by hugging the one you love.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You know what to do.

You feel it in your bones as you go off to wish people a Happy New Year. Tonight: Nobody likes the snap, crackle and pop of a party more than you do!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Make it OK to decline an invitation to a celebration. You’ll perk up after having the right conversa-

tion with a friend. Tonight: Get into the moment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your smile tells everyone how you feel. You sense that the new year will be a good one, and you’re probably right. Tonight: Cheer in the new year.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You make a great leader, which is fortunate, as that is your role. Friends and acquaintances seem to be scattered until you set the mood. Tonight: Pop a bottle of bubbly at just the right moment.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. This person offers you a different perspective.

Tonight: When New Year’s rolls in, think of a wish.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will be happiest relating to others individually. You might not be up for superficiality at this point. Tonight: Togetherness and New Year’s go together.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can sit back and relax. You might want to take a nap or clean out a drawer in order to start fresh for the new year.

Tonight: Pop some bubbly, make resolutions and greet the new year in style.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be stuck playing the role of host or hostess for the night, even if it’s not at your own celebration. Pick up an item you have wanted today. Tonight: Be a role model. Live it up!

Dear Annie: My husband and I lived with a very dysfunctional situation for several years.

His children from a prior marriage were encouraged by their mother to tell falsehoods about our home life. She was planning to leave the state and needed full custody in order to take them, and she ultimately accomplished this.

We went to counseling and considered legal action, but realized that even if we won, we no longer agreed on how to parent these kids.

The constant discord did some damage to our marriage. My husband put up with a lot of nastiness as long as the kids would see him. I tried to help, but couldn’t tolerate their continuing dishonesty and disrespect. The kids eventually developed problems in their personal lives, school and jobs. Slowly, my husband rebuilt a

t’s that time of year when texture, character and warmth define the most successful decor. The perfect time for felt.

This season has seen a variety of creative, decorative felt items for table and tree. You’ll find it sewn, lasercut, appliqued or otherwise manipulated to create eye-catching fashion accessories, charming toys and sculptures, and chic items for the home.

Or you can try your hand at felt-making and crafting yourself. (More on that later.)

In Portland, Ore., designer Alison Comfort offers a woodsy wonderland of little felt pumpkins, acorns, mushrooms, nests and forest animals — small sculptures that might add charm to a holiday table — at her Etsy.com shop, www.etsy.com/shop/ houseofmoss.

“There’s something so dear and precious about starting with a natural material in its raw state, using a simple tool and my own hands, and transforming it,” she says.

At Crate & Barrel, laser-cut felt placemats with seasonal motifs add homespun charm. A felt pillow with appliquéd figures might make a welcome hostess gift. www. crateandbarrel.com The nature of felt — soft, pliable and able to take on a variety of colors — makes it terrific for crafting, not only for designers but for creative amateurs.

“Felt is one of my favorite materials. It’s an extremely easy material to work with because, unlike most fabrics, it’s nonwoven, so it won’t unravel and doesn’t require hemming,” says Jodi Levine, designer-atlarge for Martha Stewart Living.

April Tatom of Louisville, Ky., sells

House of Moss Photo

PUMPKINS OF FELTED WOOL felting supplies on her website, www.feltorama.com. When she decided to try her hand at appliqued clothing for children and experimented with various fabrics, “I found that nothing matched the lush texture of felt. It just beckons to be touched and adds a cozy dimension to any project.

There’s no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ side to it. Felt toys are wonderfully tactile for little fingers and visually stimulating for kids of all ages.”

For her own kids, Tatom recently completed a felt “picnic” set complete with a lunchmeat-, cheese- and lettuce-filled baguette, and a cookie for dessert. She also recreated one of her son’s favorite book characters, Lowly Worm, from Richard Scarry’s “Busytown.”

Food is a popular subject for felt crafters, often as soft children’s toys but sometimes so realistically rendered that it’s elevated to something more artful.

Roving, a washed and carded wool with a texture similar to cotton candy, is the basis for many sculpted felt creatures and items. The fiber is pulled into strands that can be formed and poked with fingers or needles into shapes. Many of the animals

on Etsy and in stores are crafted this way; it’s easy to manipulate roving and no sewing is required. Check out www.livingfelt. com for supplies and kits.

Alternatively, a method called wet felting uses hot, soapy water and agitation to enmesh wool or other fibers so tightly that they cannot be pulled apart.

Additional online sources for wool and wool-blend felt include: www.purlsoho. com, www.achildsdream.com and www. commonwealthfelt.com .

Or you may not have to buy anything at all if a common laundry mishap occurs.

“If you’ve ever shrunk a wool sweater, scarf or hat, you’ve created felt,” Levine laughs.

Check the closet for sweater castoffs, then machine-wash and dry them on hot settings and get crafting. Projects like pillow covers, patchwork blankets and pouches are on www.marthastewart.com.

In the felting community, that method, which uses yarn rather than roving, is called “fulling.”

For first-time felt crafters, Tatom offers these tips:

Invest in high-quality felt so it will hold up over time.

Use a rotary cutter for larger cuts and small embroidery scissors for details. Rotary cutters save time, give precise results, and are also available in scallop and zigzag designs.

Experiment with different types of felt.

Each has benefits: recycled eco-felt (created from recycled bottles), 100 percent wool felt (rich texture), wool-blend felt (affordable, versatile), bamboo felt (ultra-soft).

Don’t create a machine-washable project without first testing a swatch of the felt in the washer.

Turning humble materials into home art

BY AMBER FRALEY

D

ave Root is a guy whose feet are firmly planted in two worlds: one very practical and one totally artistic. With his custom concrete business, Atlas Archimedes Design, he manages to deftly blend the two.

Root grew up in the concrete business, following in the family trade of his father and grandfather. He learned to do commercial flatwork, pouring driveways and floors throughout high school. But Root had a taste for the artistic, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics from Kansas University.

After graduating, he went back to concrete work, as well as masonry work, to pay the bills. He bought a house in North Lawrence but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify the strange material the kitchen floor was made of. So he called his dad and described it. Immediately, his dad knew that what his son was describing was terrazzo.

Having a background in concrete and ceramics, Root was instantly hooked and says that almost immediately he began experimenting with his own terrazzo formulations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just fascinated by it,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chemistry in ceramics is very similar (to concrete), so it translates well.â&#x20AC;?

Even now, Root keeps meticulous notes on each custom terrazzo â&#x20AC;&#x153;recipeâ&#x20AC;? he creates so that he knows what works and what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Terrazzo is an Italian word meaning terrace. Root explains that the history of terrazzo goes back to the men who worked the marble quarries in Italy, who were allowed to take home chunks of marble.

Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo

LAWRENCE CONCRETE DESIGNER DAVE ROOT uses a drill press for a sculpture on Thursday in his North Lawrence shop. Root specializes in custom concrete and terrazzo work and is perhaps best known for his concrete countertops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lay it out like flagstones, fill the joints with clay or a similar material and polish it,â&#x20AC;? he explains.

Today, most terrazzo is often made with cement, sand, some type of aggregate (usually bits of stone or glass) for texture and color, and often, but not always, concrete dye. Very soon after Root began to teach himself how to make terrazzo, word began to travel locally that he could create all kinds of custom concrete work. At first, he says, he was the only one in the Lawrence area doing such work. Then came the housing boom, and suddenly Root had

ÄľÂ&#x2013;ø $Â&#x2018; ¿¿ ;ÂľĂ&#x152;Ĩ|Ä? ÂżĂ&#x2014;Ĩ¯¾Ă&#x152;ÂŚÂ&#x17D; Â&#x2013;Ĺ&#x201D;ø $Â&#x2018; Ă&#x2014;Ă&#x2020;| Ă&#x152;o Ă&#x2014;¿¾oBĹ&#x17D; |^Ă&#x2014;Ä?Â&#x17D; S| B ¿¾ĨĨ¿| |^^|Ă&#x152;ĨÄ?Âľ^Ăš Ĺ&#x2014;Ä&#x2022;Ĺ&#x17E; !BĹ?Ĺ?BjĂ?Ć&#x20AC;Ĺ?Â&#x2018;ŨŨĹ? i Â&#x153;ŭƤĂ&#x201D;ĂźÄ&#x2022;ƤƤ

competition. Now that the housing bubble has burst, though, Root says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty much by himself again when it comes to custom concrete and terrazzo creations in the immediate area.

Though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perhaps most known for his concrete countertops (complete with dish drain board, if you so desire), Root also casts custom concrete and terrazzo sinks, tabletops, floors, fireplaces, water features, fire pits, shingles and sculptures.

He created the blue tiles on the exterior of Pachamamas, 800 New Hampshire St., as well as the Star Bar inside, which not

only glitters with sparkling aggregate, but also twinkling fiber optics that Root taught himself to install in concrete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I invented the Star Bar,â&#x20AC;? he says, grinning, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and my wife named it.â&#x20AC;?

Rootâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work can also be seen at Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City, Mo., where he made the custom floor upon which the brewing tanks sit.

Why choose concrete over another material such as granite? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Concreteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more interesting,â&#x20AC;? says Root, explaining that concrete can be cast into a myriad of shapes and configurations and an endless array of colors. Concrete, he says, also has a little bit of â&#x20AC;&#x153;giveâ&#x20AC;? and can bend and expand and contract a bit, whereas stone has almost no give at all and can be prone to cracking or breaking. Ironically, with all the custom colors Root can dye concrete, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one color that people ask for most. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gray is pretty popular.â&#x20AC;?

And Dave Root is more than just â&#x20AC;&#x153;the concrete guy.â&#x20AC;? In addition to learning ceramics, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a self-taught fine arts painter, sculptor and cabinet maker. He welds and smelts metal. He carves wood and stone, and he likes to use reclaimed materials whenever possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a set of skills heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acquired out of necessity so that when customers ask if he can do a particular type of custom work, such as a kitchen hutch with a concrete countertop, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able to definitively reply that yes, he can. But one canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help to think that Root is a man who simply likes to learn as much as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s able. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can try to hire 20 different people to do those things, or you can just figure out how to do it yourself,â&#x20AC;? he says.

lmost since the day I started working with her, I’ve been harassing my co-worker, Lydia Vega, to teach me how to make her family’s authentic tamales. When she finally agreed earlier this fall, I decided it would be fun to make a party of it.

As it turns out, you don’t make tamales without having a party.

First, the recipe lends itself to huge batches that are made to be shared. Second, while not difficult, stuffing the tamales is time-intensive work that is also better shared. Third, well, who doesn’t love spending an afternoon drinking wine, making delicious food and catching up with friends? I can’t think of a better way to beat the January, post-holiday doldrums.

Since I couldn’t invite you all, I took good notes to share. Before we get to the recipe, though, a few general tips:

You may have to visit a few different stores to find the ingredients, but I was able to find them all locally. The masa that Lydia recommends is called Arturos masa, and it comes frozen. The peppers I bought did not specifically say “mild,” but Lydia said that as long as they don’t say “hot” they should be fine.

Pull out the largest pots, bowls and pans that you have for mixing the masa and meat. Lydia has a huge mixing bowl that she brought with her, but if she hadn’t, I would have used my trusty canning pot.

Have something for your friends to take tamales home in. At the end of the day, we all walked around the table, each adding one tamale to a zip-top bag until they were all gone. It was a bit like Ring Around the Rosie!

Lastly, I highly recommend making tamales around your kitchen table or some place where you can all see each other. Is it a bit messier than doing it on the kitchen counter? Probably. But the rewards in conversation are well worth it.

Here’s the recipe.

Photos special to the Journal-World

TAMALES ARE A MEXICAN DISH consisting of cornmeal dough (masa) wrapped around a meat filling and steamed in corn husks.

3 16-ounce boxes of lard 1 bag of corn husks Salt 1 tablespoon cumin 4-5 cloves of garlic, diced

Directions The night before your party, you’ll need to cook the roast. To do so, add the roast to your largest pot — I used my canning pot — and cover with water. Boil the meat, checking the water level every so often and adding more as needed, until the roast falls apart when you pierce it with a fork. For me, that took 4-5 hours. Once the meat is cool, shred it with a fork and refrigerate.

THE VEGA FAMILY TAMALE RECIPE Save several cups of the cooking broth, too, as you’ll need it later.

You should also prepare the chilies (Makes about 70 tamales) ahead of time. In a large pot, cover the chilies with water and bring them to a boil.

Ingredients Boston butt pork roast, about 10 pounds Let them cook for about 15 minutes. The USING YOUR HANDS and the biggest bowl you can find, mix the lard into the 1 large bag mild New Mexico chili pods goal is to get them re-hydrated. Remove thawed masa. Add about 4 tablespoons salt and some of the reserved juice from the stems, and put the chilies in a blender cooking the meat. The masa is ready when it forms an easily spreadable paste.

I highly recommend making tamales around your kitchen table or some place where you can all see each other. Is it a bit messier than doing it on the kitchen counter? Probably.

But the rewards in conversation are well worth it. or food processor to break them down.

Once you have a rough paste, run the chilies through a food mill to remove the skins and seeds. Save the resulting smooth paste; discard the skins and seeds.

Once your friends have arrived, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to prepare the masa. Using your hands and the biggest bowl you can find, mix the lard into the thawed masa. Add about 4 tablespoons salt and some of the reserved juice from cooking the meat. The masa is ready when it forms an easily spreadable paste. (We ended up adding about 2 cups of cooking juice to get there.)

While one person is preparing the masa, have another person soak the corn husks.

To do so, put the corn husks in your clean kitchen sink and fill with hot water.

Meanwhile, another person can be preparing the meat. Mix the chili paste with the garlic, cumin and a few teaspoons of salt. Add in enough of the reserved cooking broth to make a watery paste. Add the chili paste to the meat and mix until well coated. This is a good time to let everyone have a little taste to check the seasoning.

By this time, the corn husks should be softened. Pop them in a strainer to drain off excess water.

With all the prep work done, now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make tamales: The corn husks have a rough side and a smooth side. With the smooth side up, and holding the husk in your hand, use a spoon to slather masa on the bottom twothirds of the husk. While the thickness of the masa is a matter of personal preference, Lydia advised spreading fairly thinly.

As a guess, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say our masa was about 1/4inch thick.

Once you have the masa spread evenly,

TO COOK THE TAMALES, steam them for a least an hour.

add a spoonful of the meat filling to the center. Then, fold one side over, fold the other side over that, and tuck the resulting tail underneath to form a neat pocket.

Keep going until you run out of meat or masa.

To cook the tamales, steam them for a least an hour. Lydia said two hours is better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a larger batch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but who can wait that long?

} Striving and respect: 2 themes for year ahead

MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2012

Dr. Wes: We arrive tomorrow at the year 2013, in remarkably good shape for a world destroyed on Dec. 21. As one who grew up in the shadow of an oft-imagined Cold War mushroom cloud, I found the threat from long-dead Maya a bit underwhelming.

So if our world and way of life is to survive, we must honor the Double Take New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolution tradition. Organized as she is, this year Katie thought we needed themes. So this is mine: strive.

Our kids have endured some tough years since 2008 when our current seniors were just entering eighth grade and the economy collapsed. That summer, Julia Davidson and I wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increasingly I see cash-strapped families in which food and fuel are wiping out discretionary spending, forcing parents to rely on credit to get by. Much of the money conflict in these families comes from teenagers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why the gravy train is rapidly leaving the station. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to help them come to grips with the same realities we are facing as adults, and unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the families who has stressed good economic behavior from early on, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy.â&#x20AC;?

Right about then, everything went from annoying to catastrophic.

By 2011, those eighth-graders were no longer entitled. They were frightened. In December, Miranda Davis wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a teen, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not scared of what will come with the next several years, you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paying attention. The world we live in has changed. We can no longer be materialistic creatures and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning the hard way that we have to manage our money wisely.

As a senior, most of my nightmares consist of how to pay for college â&#x20AC;Ś [and] a college

Today, I see a dazed and frustrated generation. While the majority of kids continue to put their heads into the wind and lean forward, quite a few seem resigned to give up, play video games, live at home and smoke.

This year, as parents, our resolution should be to help, or, if necessary, require our kids to learn to strive. To look at history not as a boring class in fifth hour, but as instruction on how to rise up against economic depression, war, bigotry and a culture of fear, and make ourselves and our world ever better.

Things really are looking up. The silliness of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal cliffâ&#x20AC;? may frighten us more than the silly Maya, but a great many good things lie beyond our temporary obstructions. They always do. Kids whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said â&#x20AC;&#x153;to hell with itâ&#x20AC;? simply wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be ready to join that hopeful future.

This year, have courage. And strive.

Katie: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to brainstorm a list of broad self-improvements while the ball is dropping in NYC, and difficult to act on the day-to-day details of those fragile resolutions. This year, I challenge teens to take time out of every day to work on a quality thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to all generations: respect.

Whether your behavior was infallible or intolerable in 2012, 2013 is a new year.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look back on it with pride in 2014.

Respect your parents. Most teenagers can remember complaining at least once during adolescence that their families treated them like toddlers, perhaps while screaming during a teenaged temper tantrum. Yet, every argument has more than one side to it. Before shouting something you may regret later, take five deep breaths and imagine youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stepping out of your body and into your parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minds. Trying to understand your parent is a true mark of maturity.

Respect your peers. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read any young adult novels lately, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know that our generation is notorious for its selfishness. Teens sometimes have trouble thinking beyond themselves, failing to see how their words and actions affect those around them. Try paying special attention to how you behave toward your peers this

Your behavior has the power to decide how others view and treat you.

Whether in private or in public, in school or on Twitter, hold yourself to high standards. Respect for everyone else in your life will follow naturally. year, in real life and online. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all going through this strange stage between childhood and adulthood: If we have that much in common, it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so difficult to empathize with the kid sitting next to us in math.

Respect yourself. All teenagers can benefit from recognizing themselves as inherently good people, because only when we believe in our best qualities can we exhibit them for the world. Your behavior has the power to decide how others view and treat you. Whether in private or in public, in school or on Twitter, hold yourself to high standards. Respect for everyone else in your life will follow naturally.

IT’S TIME TO DE-CLUTTER

BY SARA SHEPHERD

O

ut with the old, in with the new.

The adage goes for more than just a calendar change. It applies to your stuff, too.

All those Christmas decorations that need to be put away, old toys abandoned for new ones, tired clothes taking up space after-Christmas sales could fill — now’s the time to get rid of the ones you don’t want, and get the rest organized.

January is national organization month, and professional organizer Helen Stringer says post-holiday weeks are a great time to turn over a new leaf because you’re turning over inventory, so to speak, anyway.

“Most everyone who calls us uses the word ‘overwhelmed,’” said Stringer, coowner of We Organize, a Parkville, Mo., company that serves the Lawrence area. “I think that is a clear picture of what clutter does to our lives. It just overwhelms us.”

With these tips you won’t become one of those “overwhelmed” callers — and you might even make money on a few of your cast-offs.

KEEP DECORATIONS IN CHECK Keeping old Christmas lights out of the landfill is a worthy goal. Getting paid for them is a bonus.

“We get tons of ’em,” said Bo Killough, owner of the 12th and Haskell Recycle Center, 1146 Haskell Ave. The strands — as well as extension cords — contain copper wire, Killough said. His center pays customers for lights and cords by the pound, then sends them

CAREY RAINEY, OFFICE MANAGER at 12th and Haskell Recycle Center, 1146 Haskell Ave., adds some more Christmas lights to a box full of decorations that will be recycled. to an outside processor to strip the insulation from the copper so it can be reused.

(Don’t forget to recycle cans and bottles from those Christmas and New Year’s parties while you’re at it.)

For Christmas lights you’re keeping,

resist temptation to throw them in a bag — you’ll be sorry next December. Wrapping them around a piece of cardboard is a cheap, easy way to spare yourself a big headache, Stringer said. The same goes for ribbons and beads.

Organize other decorations in clear plastic bins, which enable you to see inside, Stringer said. Tape an index card to the outside of each bin and list every item in it, using a pencil so you can easily edit your list if the contents change.

What to play to ring in the new year

BY ALEX GARRISON

T

here can be a lot of pressure to throw an amazing New Year’s Eve party, especially for the designated DJ. Here’s a brief, eclectic list of some tracks that might get your party started.

Got suggestions? Contribute them at Lawrence.com.

Ella Fitzgerald, “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?” Written in 1947 and included on 1960’s “Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas,” this song has been covered many times over the years, including very sweetly with a ukulele by purveyors of cute Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Share it in advance with a certain special pal you hope to kiss at the stroke of midnight.

The Zombies, “This Will Be Our Year” From the excellent 1968

album “Odessey and Oracle,” this is the perfect mantra for going into Jan. 1 and a delightful pop song to sing along with joyously before the pop of champagne at any NYE party.

Otis Redding and Carla Thomas, “New Year’s Resolution” For the slow-jam portion of the evening, add this soulful ode to relationship reinvigoration.

Prince and The Revolution, “Let’s Go Crazy” It’s not 1999, so don’t play it.

But that doesn’t mean a good jam from the artist formerly-and-againknown-as isn’t apt for a dance floor hit, especially for a Gen X and younger crowd (full disclosure: I wasn’t alive in 1984, but that doesn’t mean Prince isn’t a guilty pleasure/go-to for parties).

Kool and the Gang, “Celebration” You’re allowed to be a little cliche, let your hair down and enjoy a silly dance along with this gloriously cheesy, oftplayed chart-topper.

Animal Collective, “Fireworks” Sneak a musical bang into your play list with the alwaysdrum-driven popular indie group, especially if you enjoy dancing of an interpretive variety.

OTIS REDDING IS THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR THE SLOWJAM PART OF THE EVENING.

Auld Lang Syne You’ve got to pay tribute to ol’ Robert Burns and the traditional, best-ina-crowd-and-with-fireworks-if-possible way to ring in Baby New Year. Them’s just the rules. But what does it mean? It’s a poem written in Scots dialect in 1788 and remains a huge deal in Scotland). To

brush up before the big night, Wikipedia has a good explanation of some of the more unclear words.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this list: Katlyn Conroy, Megan Barkley-Colwell, Beth Beavers, Anita Wigglesworth, Mike Blur, Ben Sauder and Adam Strunk.

The Mountain Goats, “This Year” Prolific songwriter John Darnielle’s work isn’t known for always being the cheeriest, but this is a pump-up for better times to come, especially if 2012 hasn’t been too kind.

Yo La Tengo, “Big Day Coming” This is another indie rock pump-up for exactly what makes NYE something to celebrate: saying goodbye to the old, looking forward to the new.

KOOL AND THE GANG’S “CELEBRATION” IS AN OFTPLAYED CHARTTOPPER.

Safety tips for dealing with freezing weather

“Fortunately for you and me, sparkles are always in on New Year’s Eve. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.”

ALI EDWARDS

Some favorite fashion trends to carry into 2013 I haven’t exactly done any research on this, but it seems to me that the older one gets, the less excited one is about ringing in the New Year. When I was in high school, my parents would tiredly stumble to bed right as the ball dropped, or some years they would see me off before I left to celebrate with friends and would say, “We’re going to bed. Wake us up when you get home.”

Over the past couple of years, New Year’s Eve, which used to be my second favorite holiday (Fourth of July will forever take the gold), has faded from my list of top picks. This has left me wondering what it is about a shiny new year that loses its luster over the span of one’s life.

There’s something magical about starting afresh, about having a predefined “start” and “stop,” about being able to say, “This year is going to be the best year of my life.” And for these reasons, I’m vowing to celebrate the first minute, hour, day, week, month of 2013, and, yes, every month of 2013 after that. My New Year’s resolution is to embrace the magic. To fuel the magic.

And I don’t mean to make this any less sentimental, but if there’s any magic to be performed, I want to be dressed appropriately.

In the past, I have been purely antisparkle. I appreciated matte finish for what it was: simple, bold and easy to look at.

But, because this will be the year of magic, sparkle is necessary. And fortunately for you and me, sparkles are always in on New Year’s Eve. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Even if you don’t want to participate in a lot of flashy magic, you can still involve yourself in a little harmless disappearing act. Trends are showing that more people are likely to stay home this New Year’s Eve. Especially in Lawrence, unless you want to be run over by a bunch of enthusiastic co-eds, steer clear of the downtown bar scene. Have some friends over for a low-key night with some fancy finger foods.

This doesn’t mean you can’t dress up, though. Here are some of my favorite 2012 trends that I will surely be carrying into the last hours of the year (and freshly into 2013).

Winged eyeliner. It’s just so pretty.

Maintain simplicity by keeping your other makeup to a bare minimum.

Sequined shorts (with tights underneath, please): Classy alternative to a sequined skirt. Pair them with a sheer, billowy top.

Bun head: I’m loving all the high buns I’ve been seeing on women lately. It’s easy elegance, which I’m all about.

Solid color: If you’re not into sparkles, try a one-toned, bold-colored dress.

It stands out without all the flash.

Lace: Come on, it’s been huge all year. You might as well end the year wearing it.

Pomegranates: super all the way around

BY SARAH HENNING

I

f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like me, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to restock your fridge and pantry after the food explosion that is the holidays. My fridge has run the gamut over the past few days, going from empty-ish to stuffed to its frozen little gills to deflated and devoid of anything but leftovers.

If this sounds familiar, or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just planning your trip to the grocery store for the week, I highly recommend adding a pomegranate to your cart. This time of year, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough of these unusual superfruits. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a great treat, and fantastic in nearly any application.

Back in November, I posted a Thanksgiving recipe for squash that featured pomegranate seeds on Lawrence.com. The seeds add a nice juiciness and crunch to that recipe, and they can do that to pretty much any other recipe you can dream up.

Just this week, we had the seeds three different ways other than just eating them out of hand. One was a breakfast bowl of 1 cup pomegranate seeds, 2 tablespoons pecans, 1 tablespoon hemp seeds and 1 teaspoon cacao nibs. Two was pumpkin pancakes topped with the seeds. And three is pairing the pomegranate seeds with squash yet again. This time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with kabocha squash we roasted in a spicy sauce and then used to top a simple salad. The result is as pretty as it is tasty.

But before we get to that recipe, a few details on the pomegranate, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest recorded fruits. One 4-inch pomegranate has 234 calories, 3 grams of fat, 11 grams of fiber (45 percent of your daily value), 5 grams of protein, 48 percent of your daily vitamin C and 5 percent of your daily iron.

Now to the really important information: How to open and seed the dang thing.

The best way to seed a pomegranate is to plunge it underwater. Fill a mixing bowl with enough water that you can submerge your hands and the whole pomegranate.

Next, cut the top off the fruit and score the outside into a few sections. Plunge the fruit into the water and then pull it apart along your score lines. Free the seeds with your thumbs and rub off the white pith.

The pith will float and your seeds will sink.

When all your seeds are free, rinse them in

POMEGRANATE AND ROASTED KABOCHA SQUASH SALAD a colander to remove extra pith. Throw out any pale/strange-looking seeds along with the skin and the pith.

POMEGRANATE AND ROASTED KABOCHA SQUASH SALAD 1 large pomegranate or 2 small pomegranates, seeded 1 small kabocha squash, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch thick â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? shapes (no need to peel) 1/3 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons tamari 1 teaspoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne Hummus Pecans Baby spinach Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the squash pieces in a large bowl and set aside. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, tamari, cumin, sea salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cayenne. Pour the sauce mixture over the squash and stir to coat.

Put the coated slices on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn them over and bake for 15 more minutes.

When the squash is finished, put together salad bowls that include baby spinach, 2 to 3 tablespoons pomegranate seeds, 2 to 3 tablespoons hummus and 1 tablespoon pecans. Top with warm squash. Serves 4.

Tackle some basic home repairs for the new year

H

ere are some New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions you can fix yourself.

1. Fix that leaky faucet. Turn off the water supply to the faucet. Remove the faucet handle. Replace the seat and spring under the stem or replace the faucet stem washer, depending on the age of the faucet.

2. Fix that squeaky door. Tighten any loose hinge screws. Hold a rag under the hinge pins and spray the pins with a highquality lubricant. Move the door back and forth. Spray again and wipe away the excess lubricant.

3. Fix that broken door knob. Depending on the age of the lock set, remove the rosette or face plate. Disassemble the handle set. Remove the handles and the backset. Replace with a similar sized lockset.

4. Fix that leaky toilet. Replace the flapper and replace the fill valve. If the toilet still leaks, remove the tank and replace the tank to bowl gasket and the flush valve.

5. Install energy efficient lighting. Replace incandescent bulbs with CFL or LED light bulbs. Replace old T-12 ballasts with new T-8 ballasts.

6. Spruce up the yard. Reseed the lawn. Trim back trees and shrubs. Replace

damaged landscape elements with native, drought-resistant varieties.

7. Fix that window screen. Lay the screen frame on a flat surface. Remove the old spline and screen. Install new screen and new spline using a good quality screening tool.

8. Fix that broken window. Wait for a warmer day. Remove the broken glass and clean the area around the frame opening.

Install new glass. For wooden windows, use a putty knife to cut in the glazing around the glass edges. Avoid touching the glazing with your hands.

9. Fix the front door bell. Remove the old button and replace it with a new one. It is not necessary to turn the power off when replacing a door bell, but do not allow the two wires to touch. If the bell still does not work after replacing the button, locate the transformer and replace it.

10. Start composting. Purchase a composter or use fence posts and chicken wire to create an open compost bin in the yard.

Fill the compost bin with equal parts of food waste and dry ingredients, like leaves, straw, newspaper or natural fabrics. Turn the pile regularly, adding additional wet and dry ingredients to create rich, earthy smelling compost for the new year.

Be responsible for dog at all times

BY LISA MOORE THE MODESTO BEE

Follow Us On Facebook & Twitter

@lcom facebook.com/ lawrencekansas

"

s a dog owner, one must recognize that our dogs will never think, rationalize or behave like humans. Their instincts cause them to react and respond in ways that we sometimes don’t understand or approve of, but there is always a reason for them behaving the way they do. Regardless of the breed, size, age and training, we must remember that all dogs bite, and if your dog bites another person, you could end up facing legal action.

If you expect your dog to grow up to be highly social and relaxed around people in general, then early and continuous socialization is a must. If, as a puppy, your dog meets and has a positive experience with a few hundred different people of all shapes and sizes, he is likely to grow into an adult with a higher tolerance of human interaction. If your puppy is raised at home, and not properly socialized out in the world,

be prepared to have him grow into an adult dog wary of strangers.

As dog owners, we must realize that people — friends, extended family, strangers — will often behave inappropriately around our dog; sometimes purposely, but usually ignorantly. Rather than leave it up to our dog to protect himself or respond to these people and their unsuitable behavior, have a strategy to keep dog and humans separated when people other than immediate family are in your home, and politely deny requests from strangers to interact with your dog in public.

Being a responsible dog owner goes well beyond feeding, vaccinating and training. Think of your dog as a permanent 4-year-old; you should always look out for him, keep him under your control and make decisions for his safety.

Dogs have an instinctive need to do what is necessary to survive potential danger. It seems that no matter how inappropriate the human may behave, the dog is expected to be above reacting in any way.
