Joseph Robert Ralston of Lawrence died November 6 after a long illness. He was born in Eugene, Oregon June 26, 1980 to John Peter and Cherie Wagner Ralston. He lived with his family in Eugene, Montreal, Downer’s Grove, Ill, Orsay, France and Lawrence. He graduated from Lawrence High School in June 1999, then attended the University of Kansas for one year. He worked in retail sales positions in Lawrence and in sales management positions in Minneapolis from 2002 to 2006. Ralston was married from 20082012 while working in Wichita and Lawrence. Ralston returned to

Kansas University in 2011 and in 2014 graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial Design. He served on the Board of Directors of the Lawrence Social Service League in 1999 and from 2007-2008. Ralston conceived and fabricated many original lighting designs, and his senior thesis project was featured in the IDSA Mid-West District Design Conference, Chicago. He is survived by his parents, and by his siblings Amy Cherie Ralston and John Charles Ralston. The family requests no flowers. If desired, donations may be sent to the Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy (CURE).

Macy’s

Katelyn, who also plays tennis and sings in the choir at Free State, received her sheet music in the mail about a month ago. She’s nervous — “I’ve never performed for so many people,” she said — but, given her experience in the FSHS marching band, she’s not worried about nailing the formations, which she and her bandmates will execute over a 2-mile route that begins in Central Park and ends with a grand finale at Macy’s Herald Square. The week leading up to the big show is packed with all the quintessential tourist activities — including a bus tour of New York City, a theater performance and a trip to Times Square — in addition to plenty of rehearsal time. And swimming in the hotel pool. It’s a high school band trip, after all. “I’m most looking forward to meeting a bunch

of cool people from throughout the country who have the same interests as me,” Katelyn said. Back in Lawrence, she’ll have plenty of support from her bandmates at Free State and her band director, Randy Fillmore — “he’s really happy for me,” she said. When Katelyn, who wants to someday be a music teacher, left for New York City recently, she was traveling by herself for the first time ever. Her family — mom Kristin, dad Jason and younger sister Alyssa — will join her in time for some sightseeing and the parade on Thanksgiving. “This has been such a neat thing to watch her grow with and take charge of herself,” Jason Hess said. “We couldn’t be prouder.”

Meanwhile, plaintiffs in the case are saying those are the same arguments that have been rejected in the past by the trial court and, in some cases, the Supreme Court itself. “In other words, ‘if the Legislature says it is enough money, it is enough money,’” lead attorney Alan Rupe said in an email. “This is not the test set forth by the Kansas Supreme Court.” The plaintiffs are scheduled to submit their response brief by Jan. 6. The Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments in the appeal early next year, although an exact date has not been set. The case was filed in 2010, mainly by four Kansas school districts: Wichita; Kansas City; Dodge City; and Hutchinson. They argued that cuts in base funding first enacted by then-Gov. Mark Parkinson, a Democrat, in response to collapsing revenues during the Great Recession were unconstitutional because funding was no longer adequate to meet districts’ basic needs. They also argued that changes in school funding

that carried forward in Republican Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration — namely under-funding certain kinds of “equalization” aid that benefits lowwealth districts — were also unconstitutional because they created inequities between rich and poor districts. A special three-judge trial court panel has ruled twice that funding levels are inadequate, and in 2012 it ordered that the state needs to spend upward of $500 million a year more in base funding for schools than it did at the time. The panel is led by Shawnee County District Judge Franklin Theis. The other members are Judge Robert Fleming, of Parsons, and Judge Jack Burr, of Goodland. The Supreme Court later set aside its initial ruling and sent the case back with instructions to use a different standard for measuring adequacy. On June 26, after several days of hearings, the panel reaffirmed its original ruling, but elected not to issue a remedy order, pending the Supreme Court’s next review.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The 16-year-old is the sole Kansan selected for this year’s band, which includes about 200 high school students from all 50 states. Katelyn, a trumpeter since the sixth grade, said she was inspired to audition after seeing Megan Towle, then a sophomore at Lawrence High School, with her trombone in the Macy’s Great American Marching Band during last year’s parade. “It was all her. She really did all the work,” Jason Hess said of his daughter, who only sought her parents’ assistance when she asked to borrow the family’s video camera for her audition. “When she wants to do something, she just tries it out — she’s never been afraid to try new things.”

Funding CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The state also argued that courts should have no authority to judge whether school funding is adequate because that is a political decision that can only be made by the Legislature and governor. “Particularly in light of the overwhelming evidence that Kansas students are excelling, the Legislature reasonably concluded that it has made suitable provision for the financing of the state’s educational interests,” the state said in its brief, using language from Article 6 of the Kansas Constitution. “This court should not allow a small number of school districts to secondguess the Legislature’s reasoned judgment,” Schmidt’s office wrote. The 98-page brief sets out the state’s arguments in one portion of the ongoing school finance case, Gannon v. Kansas, that challenges whether overall funding for Kansas public schools is adequate.

The case was complicated this year when, as the three-judge panel was reviewing its earlier decision, Kansas lawmakers repealed the school finance formula that had been in place since 1992 and replaced it for two years with a system of block grants. That resulted in most districts, including Lawrence, receiving less money than they had expected to receive under the old formula. The panel declared that change unconstitutional as well, although the state argues the panel had no authority to review the block grant funding because it was not part of the case that was remanded to it from the Supreme Court. The brief filed by the state Monday deals only with the adequacy portion of the case, which is by far the largest part of the lawsuit. The court heard arguments in the equity portion on Nov. 6 and is expected to rule on that part of the case soon. — Statehouse reporter Peter Hancock can be reached at 354-4222 or phancock@ljworld.com.

What to know before today’s McCollum Hall demolition

headed up to Daisy Hill for my final close-up look at McCollum Hall Tuesday, and I wasn’t the only one driving around taking pictures up there. I ran into a couple McCollum alumni saying their own goodbyes to the building — now gutted, windowless and looking every bit on its last leg. One was Hank Guarisco, of Lawrence, who said he lived in McCollum Hall as a graduate student from 1969 to 1972. I asked him if he planned to watch the building’s implosion. “I don’t think I will,” Guarisco said. “It’ll be much too sad.”

Sara Shepherd sshepherd@ljworld.com

Guarisco said he has fond memories of McCollum, including hanging out around the grand piano and staying up all

night playing music and ping-pong. Whenever he drives by, he said, he always looks up and likes seeing the prominent building there on the hill at the corner of 19th and Iowa streets. “I had an amazing experience,” he said. “It’s very, very sad to see it go.” But go it will. At 9 a.m. sharp — following a series of three sirens — explosives will go off and the 10-story, threewing, 220,000-square-foot building will crumble in less than 20 seconds, according to project planners.

New Hampshire to remain closed until Dec. 1 By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Roads around the intersection will close and pedestrian access will be blocked. (For a detailed list, see below.) l On-campus parking: Thanksgiving break starts today, so with the exception of lots in the “evacuation perimeter,” Yellow and Housing lots will be open for free parking starting today, according to KU Parking (large yellow lots that will be accessible this morning include those at the Lied Center, Student Rec Center and Burge Union lots).

The city initially notified residents that portions of that block would be closed until Nov. 21. Contractors later told the city it was considering splitting the project into two phases, with the first complete by Nov. 16 and the second starting in January. Thiel told city commissioners at a recent meeting that the contractor said doing the project all

at once, with an end date of Nov. 30, would be a better option. “I did have concern about the street being shut down during the holiday season,” Mayor Mike Amyx said at the meeting. “But I visited with the contractor, and it makes more sense if they get in and out and done by the 30th. My main concern is the 25th to the 30th; I don’t want to see that fence up and blocking trade.” Thiel said he was updated Tuesday that the road would be reopened Dec. 1. On that date, the street configuration will

be open to two-way traffic and go back to what it was before the road was closed Nov. 2, with a fence blocking a portion of the street, Thiel said. The street is closed to allow for the installation of a new waterline. By Monday, Nov. 30, most of the work would be complete, Thiel said. On Dec. 1, workers will run a fire line and service line to the building at 800 New Hampshire St. that had been home to Pachamamas.

university,” Rosen said. Lang’s main research and teaching areas are African-American working-class and labor history, the Black Freedom Movement and black urban communities in the 20th century Midwest, according to his KU bio. “This is an area of research for him,” Rosen said, “so he really does take a leadership role in the academic community on the issue of diversity and race.” Rosen said she hopes to extend invitations to complete the committee next week. Rosen called the new group’s charges

“important first steps to build a more inclusive university that values academic freedom.” In addition to diversity training, the group will look at incorporating diversity into curriculum; a campus strategic plan on diversity, equity and inclusion; and recruitment and retention of students, faculty and staff, Rosen said. “There’s clearly an achievement gap,” she said. “There are a fair number of achievement gaps, and we really have to look at every single one of those and figure out how to close that gap.” On each topic, Rosen

said, the group also must identify critical pieces of implementation, such as identifying what people or units are responsible for which initiatives, timelines for action and metrics to measure success. The provost’s office has created a website, provost.ku.edu/townhall-concerns, which lists concerns raised at KU’s recent town hall forum on race, followed by information about what’s already in place or what’s planned for various areas.

restricted to permit-holders, however. l Designated viewing area: KU has designated the Oliver Hall parking lot at 19th Street and Naismith Drive for public viewing, though no activities are planned and the hall will not be open to the public. l Dust precautions: “The atmosphere will be very dusty for 10 to 15 minutes following the implosion,” KU cautioned in a press release. “Those with respiratory ailments should take precautions.” McCollum being high on a hill does make it easier to see from afar. The view from Oliver Hall down on Naismith Drive is quite good, as is the view from across Iowa Street on West Campus — however, unfortunately, the large grassy area directly across Iowa from McCollum will be off-limits as it’s within the evacuation perimeter. My plan is to try West Campus first, just because it’s a little closer, with Oliver Hall as a backup plan if it’s too crowded. The rest of my plan is to wear comfortable shoes and get to campus early enough to

The second candidate will present at 11 a.m. Dec. 1, and the third candidate will present at 11 a.m. Dec. 4, both at the Kansas Room. The suggested topic for finalists to address in their presentations is “Strategic Leadership at KU’s Office of Multicultural Affairs.” The OMA director’s position has been filled on an interim basis since May, when former director Blane Harding left KU and took a job at the University of Nevada, Reno. Precious Porras has been interim director. Hiring a new OMA director by year’s end was one of 15 diversity-related demands of KU by a group calling themselves Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk that temporarily took over the stage during KU’s town hall forum on race earlier this month. Jill Hummels, spokeswoman for the KU Provost’s office, said the upcoming candidate visits were not in response to those demands.

“It (the search) was ongoing and planned anyway,” she said. “All of this is a process.” As is typical of finalist visits for other KU leadership positions, their presentations are scheduled fairly close together. Hummels said KU wanted to announce Addo-Yobo’s visit prior to Thanksgiving break, even though the visit is almost a week away, though the other two names won’t be announced until shortly before their arrivals.

Event CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“We know that this is an issue here, but people don’t know this is happening,” Moffitt said. “That’s why we’re having this (meeting) tonight, for prevention through knowledge.” The program Tuesday described the ins and outs of human trafficking from what Willow advocates see in the Lawrence area, debunked myths about the subject and informed attendees of what they can do to help. Moffitt said that in 2014 alone, the Willow assisted 42 victims of human trafficking, most — if not all — of whom were forced, tricked or coerced into selling sex. Of those 42 victims, some were children under the age of 18.

In Kansas, there were 352 victims of human trafficking identified in 2014 and about 60 were children, according to the Kansas Attorney General’s Office. About threefourths of those children were in the custody of the Kansas Department for Children and Families or the Kansas Department of Corrections. Moffitt said that although some may think that human trafficking mainly involves foreign nationals, victims are most likely to be trafficked by an intimate partner or a family member. “It makes sense because if you can exploit someone in your backyard, you’re not going to pay for someone to come here,” Moffitt said. Although international human trafficking does happen — as was the situation with the defendants in the Spring Massage

case when Guihong Xiao and Chen Li were accused this year of selling sex at the 600 Lawrence Ave. business — Moffitt said most trafficking in America involves U.S. citizens. “Eighty-three percent of victims in America are citizens,” Moffitt said. “It is a myth that all victims are foreign nationals.” Another myth, Moffitt said, is that trafficking always involves moving a victim from one place to another. Moffitt said that, in fact, she has seen that one can be trafficked by a partner out of their own home. “Trafficking doesn’t require movement,” Moffitt said. “They can utilize transportation, but they do not have to.” Moffitt also said that sex trafficking and prostitution do not always have to be separate. She said that minors involved in selling

sex are always considered victims of human trafficking. Adults, however, must also have an element of coercion, force or fraud in their situations in order to be considered trafficking victims, according to Kansas law. However, victims can be given some profit for their forced sex work and still be considered victims, Moffitt said. “Sometimes victims are given money, sometimes not,” Moffitt said. “Sometimes material items are given as a recruitment tool.” Moffitt also said it’s not just women being trafficked. Statistics from research by John Jay College showed that half of all children used in sex trafficking nationwide are boys, Moffitt said. Anyone can be a sex trafficker, Moffitt said, and there is not one distinct profile. However,

Wednesday, November 25, 2015 she said she sees a lot of victim recruiting done at several kinds of places, including truck stops, strip clubs, private parties and online. Moffitt said that she regularly hears from teenagers who say they have been approached by strangers online through social media who ask if they’ll have sex with them or arrange “dates” for pay. Additionally, there are many online websites that advertise “escorts” or sexual services within Lawrence that may be using trafficking victims. To prevent human trafficking in Lawrence, Moffitt explained a few actions anyone can take. First is to become educated about and spread awareness of the issue by telling friends and family about human trafficking’s reality in our community. “Awareness is huge,” Moffitt said.

| 5A

People can also raise money or volunteer their time for agencies “doing direct service with survivors” as the Willow does. Last, Moffitt said people should consider mentoring youths, becoming a foster parent or becoming a court-appointed special advocate or a “big” for Big Brothers Big Sisters. “Most victims I’ve worked with didn’t have support as teens or kids, and their trafficker became that mentor for them,” Moffitt said. Attendee Melissa Boisen said that she plans on educating others about human trafficking and came to the event after decades of working in child social services. “I thought nothing was worse than child abuse until I realized this was happening,” Boisen said. “If we don’t get involved and get the word out, things do tend to get worse.”

Best to report concerning Facebook ‘friend’ Dear Annie: A couple of months ago, I met a guy at a concert and he added me as his friend on Facebook. Except for that one encounter, I don’t really know him. Tonight, I was strolling through Facebook and noticed a very disturbing post he had made. It bothered me so much that I went to his page and saw that the previous two hours had been a stream of disturbing comments about hurting others. Nobody had commented on his posts, so I went back further on his page. It seems this guy doesn’t have any friends. His page looked like a one-way cry for help. I feel bad for him, but I’m scared to say anything. Is there a way I could get help for him anonymously? I worry that he may hurt himself or others. — Not a Friend

‘Christmas’ gives heavy nostalgia The History Channel takes time from its busy schedule of searching for UFOs and Hitler to celebrate the holidays. “Christmas Through the Decades” (9 p.m., TV-PG) looks at Christmas toys, fads, shopping trends and traditions, and discusses how they reflected some of the major events of their time. This is sort of fun if you don’t think too deeply. For starters, it basically reduces American history to a shopping experience. Artifacts like the Sears Christmas Wish Book catalog are seen here as nostalgia and not as a departure for a more interesting conversation about how much has changed over five decades. Part of the reason that there is not a lot of “conversation” is that “Decades” has assembled a random peanut gallery of talking heads, celebrities better suited to a VH1 “I Love the ’90s” franchise. Of the dozens heard from, only one calls himself a historian, and we’re not informed of his specialty or published works. Instead, we get to hear from former quarterback and sportscaster Boomer Esiason. Apparently, he was just like tens of millions of other kids who sat in his pajamas watching Apollo 8 orbit the moon on Christmas Eve, 1968. He’s got nothing particularly insightful to say, other than he was there. Not every “expert” heard from was around to witness such “history.” Dascha Polanco (“Orange is the New Black”) has opinions. So does Jillian Michaels (“Biggest Loser”). Everybody, including Steve Doocy of “Fox & Friends,” feels a warm tingle recalling Bob Hope’s Christmas specials for the troops in Vietnam. But nobody wants to discuss why they were there in the first place.

NBC anticipates its next big live production with “The Making of the Wiz Live!” (7 p.m.).

These days, most couples pay for their own wedding or split the costs between the bride’s family and the groom’s, and we think this is a much more reasonable arrangement. The good news for you is, if you are covering all of the expenses, you get to make all of the decisions. — Send questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or Annie’s Mailbox, P.O.

Positive news The first proposal for business development at Lawrence VenturePark is great news for the city.

he city’s vision for business development on the former Farmland property at the east edge of the city finally is coming into focus. This week’s announcement that Midwest Manufacturing, a division of Menard Inc., has reached a preliminary deal to buy 90 acres and build a $25 million production and distribution facility in the new Lawrence VenturePark certainly is welcome news. According to Lawrence chamber of commerce officials, the project would add about 100 jobs that comply with the city’s living wage standards, which currently set the hourly wage floor at $12.56 per hour plus benefits. This is the first proposed project for VenturePark, which was opened for development in October 2014, after more than a decade of work to acquire and clean up the former Farmland site. Chamber officials said they had been working for about a year on the Menard project. According to the preliminary agreement, the company will pay about $2.1 million for the land and special assessments to fund utility and road improvements at the site. Menard also plans to rehabilitate a rail spur that travels through VenturePark and could be used by other companies that locate there. In exchange, Menard plans to ask the city for a 50 percent, 10-year property tax abatement, which seems reasonable compared with other recent incentives granted to similar facilities. By comparison, in 2011, the city approved a 65 percent, 10-year abatement plus a $25,000 forgivable loan for a Grandstand Sportswear and Glassware proposal to spend about $5 million to expand into an existing building in East Hills Business Park and create about 40 new jobs over the next five years. Also in 2011, the county approved a 90 percent, 10-year abatement plus funding for infrastructure improvements to Berry Plastics for a $18.5 expansion project that would create 11 new jobs and help retain hundreds of other jobs in the community. City officials will have to thoroughly vet the Menard project and its potential benefits or liabilities for the community, but officials contacted on Monday were justifiably positive about the chamber’s announcement. In a highly competitive environment, local officials have presented what appears to be a workable plan for the first development at Lawrence VenturePark. Hopefully, this is the first of many new businesses and jobs at that site.

GOP must curb Trump’s rhetoric Washington — Crises bring out the best and worst in people, as has been demonstrated vividly this past week by the behavior of President Obama and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. Obama showed his best face in Tuesday’s press conference with visiting French President Francois Hollande. Obama was cool and restrained, analytically clear, and appropriately apolitical in describing how the U.S. will work with France in combating the Islamic State. He avoided inflaming

“

Trump tosses hand grenades of rumor, slander and intolerance. He makes inflammatory statements with no factual support … These aren’t just a politician’s exaggerations: They’re dangerous fabrications, meant to engender fear at a time when calm is needed.” the delicate and potentially dangerous situation following the shoot-down of a Russian jet by Turkey. Perhaps most important, Obama embodied America’s best self by combating the panicky, anti-Muslim sentiment that’s loose in the country following the Paris attacks. In voicing the welcome to immigrants that’s chiseled on the Statue of Liberty, he reminded us where America’s real strength lies. Obama has often misfired on Syria and the Islamic State. I wish he had been a more aggressive leader since this crisis began four years ago. I wish he hadn’t sounded petty and political last week in criticizing GOP politicians. But Tuesday he

was a model of responsible leadership. Now look at Trump’s behavior over the past few days. He has displayed a level of irresponsibility that borders on recklessness. This is a time when the essence of leadership is clarity and restraint — when even politicians should put aside their usual braggadocio and self-aggrandizement for the good of the country. Trump has done the opposite. He appears to be inflaming the situation deliberately, to advance his presidential campaign. It’s rare that we see this level of demagoguery in U.S. politics, but it’s frightening. His divisive comments play so directly into the polarizing strategies of our terrorist adversaries — who want to foment Western-Muslim hatred — that a case can be made that he has put the country at greater risk. Trump tosses hand grenades of rumor, slander and intolerance. He makes inflammatory statements with no factual support, such as his assertion Nov. 14 that “our president wants to take in 250,000 (refugees) from Syria,” or his claim last Saturday that “thousands and thousands of people were cheering” in Muslim neighborhoods in New Jersey when the Twin Towers fell. These aren’t just a politician’s exaggerations: They’re dangerous fabrica-

tions, meant to engender fear at a time when calm is needed. Trump’s comments Monday on waterboarding were also damaging to this country. Remember, this is a technique that the United States (and most of the rest of the world) now regards as an illegal form of torture. “Would I approve waterboarding? You bet your ass I would. ... And I would approve more than that. ... Believe me, it works. And you know what? If it doesn’t work, they deserve it anyway, for what they’re doing.” Put aside questions of ethics and morality. These public calls for torture are the verbal equivalent of the photos of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib. Are Trump’s comments really making us less safe? I fear that’s so: Professional counterterrorism experts say that America has had relatively few “lone wolf” attacks partly because Muslim Americans believe they are part of the national community. They have a stake in America and its security. The FBI and local law-enforcement agencies work 24/7 to build this sense of trust and cooperation so that when Muslim communities see extremists in their midst, they will report them to authorities. These essential threads of interdependence are what Trump is ripping apart. Try

To the editor: Gov. Brownback seems to have a double standard in assuring the safety of Kansas citizens. He would require that the U.S. government guarantee that Syrian refugees are not terrorists in disguise. I would like to require that the Kansas government guarantee that all gun-owners on state university campuses are not terrorists in disguise. He supports the U.S. Constitution as it suits him, does he not? I personally am much more afraid of concealed-carry gun owners on campus in Kansas than I am of Syrian refugees fleeing for their lives. Jane Gnojek, Lawrence

Blasphemous acts To the editor: Thank you, Edith Guffey, for addressing the abysmal and frankly blasphemous actions and words of Gov. Brownback with the true word of Christ (“Don’t be silent,” Public Forum, Nov. 19). Not only is he “feeding fear and xenophobia” he is directly contradicting the Word of God. I find it curious that he would stand up for bigotry by passing “religious freedom” legislation but, when an opportunity to live out the edicts of Christ presents itself, he would stand against the explicit words of Christ. Perhaps Brownback and his

ilk are incapable of seeing that if we are to “love our enemy as our neighbor” we should also love the innocent victims of our enemy as well. Perhaps he thinks the true hero of Christ’s birth was the innkeeper who wouldn’t find room for the weary and pregnant travelers? Perhaps he didn’t make it all the way to Genesis 37 where an enslaved immigrant saves the kingdom of Egypt by levying a tax? Edith, you are correct: As Christians, we must not be silent. We must reclaim the “good news” and that never had a message of exclusion and callous disregard. Our savior started his life relegated to the margins and spent his life preaching from that same space in society.

to read his words as a Muslim neighbor would, when Trump said Nov. 17, “We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.” Or when he responded to a question two days later about creating databases to track Muslims, “certainly” and “absolutely.” Trump’s defenders say he misspoke, or was responding to a question — but that’s precisely the point. He wasn’t being clear and careful, on a subject where clarity is essential in this moment of crisis. Let’s state the problem in the simplest terms: If Muslim Americans come to believe that prominent leaders (such as the top GOP presidential candidate) view them as less worthy of rights and protections than others, then the job of the Islamic State’s recruiters will become easier. The work of intelligence officers, cops and soldiers who have been trying to stop our terrorist adversaries will become more difficult. It’s hard to imagine that someone would put the country at greater risk for personal political benefit. But that’s exactly what Trump has been doing. It’s outrageous behavior, and responsible Republicans must insist that it stop. — David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 25, 1915: “Kansas was today victorious for the first time on Rollins field, winyears ning the twenty-fifth Kansas-Misago souri classic by a score of 8 to 6. IN 1915 The toe of Lindsey won for Kansas, the Jayhawker star putting two field goals over the bar in the second quarter. The other two Kansas points were made when Pittam was down behind the line for a Kansas safety in the first quarter.... Rain which fell during the game made the gridiron a sea of mud and drove many of the spectators away from the bleachers.” “The drenching rain which deluged Columbia shortly after the Kansas-Missouri game began today caused a breakdown of the wire service near the end of the first half of the game. It is thought that the temporary connections of wires stretched to Rollins field became wet, rendering them useless. After a long wait, communication was re-established by way of St. Louis.” “The play-by-play report of the Kansas-Missouri game today thoroughly pleased the 500 rooters who blocked Massachusetts street and watched the ball hovering in the neighborhood of the Missouri goal on the Journal-World gridiron. The JournalWorld was connected by direct wire with Rollins field and the plays were known in Lawrence less than a minute after they had been made on the muddy field. Lawrence people who preferred to remain at home were kept in touch with the game by telephone and the Journal-World service reached parts of town and kept Lawrence Thanksgiving parties posted through the contest.” “Leavenworth, Kans. — The 1600 prisoners at the United States penitentiary here will enjoy a real thanksgiving dinner today. Thos. W. Morgan, warden of the prison, in addition to granting the men the freedom of the yard, arranged for a turkey dinner … This afternoon a motion picture show, with a number of vaudeville acts will give a holiday atmosphere. The prison band will play three concerts.” — Compiled by Sarah St. John

NORTH LAS VEGAS , NEV.

A decade ago, when 5,000 settlers a month were arriving in this valley, the suburban frontier moved out into the desert so fast the ZIP codes couldn’t keep up. Then came the financial crisis, and the frontier stopped at places such as the back fence of 4132 NEWSLINE

STEVE MARCUS FOR USA TODAY

Land is prepared for development at Skye Canyon, a residential community in the northwest part of the Las Vegas Valley. Recktenwall Ave. The four-bedroom house there, meant to be owned by its residents, is a rental. And the Severance family, meant

to be owners, are its $1,365-amonth renters. It’s all part of a national shift away from homeownership and

toward renting. The U.S. homeownership rate peaked 10 years ago. Since then, it has dropped from more than 69% to less than 64%, where it was a half-century ago. Each percentage point represents more than a million households. An Urban Institute study this year predicted that in 15 years, the homeowning rate will sink to 61%. Baby Boomers — far more apt to own than members of succeeding generations — will move or die. Millennials, 18 to 34, will be slow to own, either because they can’t afford to or don’t want to.

The shift to rental in singlefamily homes is visible on streets such as Recktenwall. From 2005 to 2009, about 80% of such houses in greater Las Vegas were owner-occupied; by 2013, that had dropped to 71%, a 12,000unit shift. Nationally, the number of single-family detached house rentals increased by 3.2 million from 2004 to 2013, according to Harvard’s Center for Housing Studies. The Severances lost their first house to foreclosure in 2009, and v STORY CONTINUES ON 2B

Turkey’s downing of a Russian warplane near the Turkish-Syrian border on Tuesday badly damaged France’s drive to build an alliance with the United States and Russia to defeat the Islamic State in retaliation for the Paris terrorNEWS ist attacks. ANALYSIS Turkey said its fighter jets downed the Russian aircraft after it violated Turkish airspace. At least one of the two Russian pilots who parachuted from their stricken jet may have been killed in Syria by rebels, the Associated Press reported. Russian President Vladimir Putin lashed out at Turkey, saying the plane was shot down over Syria and posed no threat to Turkey. He said the incident would have “serious consequences” for relations with Turkey. The incident occurred as French President Francois Hollande was about to sit down with President Obama at the White House to press Washington and Moscow to join in a united effort to combat the Islamic State in its home base in Syria. He planned to visit Moscow after leaving Washington. His mission was dicey from the start because Russia, Turkey, the U.S. and France are all involved in Syria’s 4-year-old civil war but support different factions. All oppose the Islamic State. But Russia supports the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, while Turkey and the U.S. want him out. The U.S. is supporting rebels seeking to overthrow Assad and has accused Russia of targeting some of those rebel groups instead of the Islamic State, which also is fighting Assad. The downing of the Russian

Russia insists it, too, is fighting the Islamic State and other terrorists, and it increased its attacks against the extremist group after a Russian airliner was

brought down by a bomb over Egypt’s Sinai peninsula on Oct. 31, killing all 224 aboard. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for that attack. Turkey has long advocated for greater Western support for the rebels battling Assad. The U.S., which is seeking a diplomatic solution to the Syrian civil war, has sought to enlist Russia and Iran — Assad’s main supporters — along with Turkey and other supporters of the Syrian rebels to

back peace talks. But that effort is making scant progress. After the Paris attacks, Hollande said defeating ISIL is the top priority, a stance seconded by Obama, who said he would consider coordinating efforts with Russia if it focused airstrikes exclusively on ISIL. Now, the downing of the jet by a U.S. ally illustrates how far Hollande is from his goal of bringing Moscow and Washington into his grand alliance.

MILLENNIALS FACE OBSTACLES TO OWNING v CONTINUED FROM 1B

haven’t been able to buy another. Bryan Severance, 37, admits this rental is OK for his family of six, “but it’s not ours. There’s something about owning your own home.’’ THE DEMISE OF THE DREAM?

America, we’ve long told ourselves, is a nation of homeowners. It’s part of our national credo: A family that owns its home cares for it and improves it, luxuriates in its memories and profits from its sale. Now this most tangible measure of the American Dream is in doubt. Consider the Millennials. Although a MacArthur Foundation survey this year found that 88% aspire to own a home, and 53% say it’s a high personal priority, relatively few follow through. Homeownership among households headed by those 30 to 34, which was above 50% for decades, is at a record low 45%. The first-time home buyer’s median age, once under 30, is almost 33. Millennials face many economic barriers, including student loan debt, income stagnation and tighter credit rules imposed after the housing crash of 2007-08 and attendant subprime loan scandal. All inhibit either the ability to save for a down payment or to secure the mortgage financing used by most home buyers. Rents are rising, creating unprecedented burdens in many regions. That should encourage people to buy homes, but it also eats away over time at the savings needed to do so. The homeownership decline is not entirely tragic. For the footloose, the empty-nested, the riskaverse and assorted others (contract workers, military servicemembers) renting makes sense. When Linda Slayden, 64 and semi-retired, moved to Las Vegas from South Bend, Ind., she rented. Back home, she had owned a Tudor-style house and a condo, but she says, “I left those worries behind.’’ Spencer Lubitz, 29, a broadcast journalist with his career ahead of him, says he feels the same way: “I can’t commit long-term. I need mobility.’’ Homeownership, once akin to Mom and apple pie, has become the subject of a policy debate. Advocates say it’s a bedrock of middle-class prosperity and cite research showing that owners take better care of the property and are more civically engaged than renters. No one opposes single-family homeownership per se. But Christopher Leinberger, a developer, researcher and writer, says many Americans want to live in more compact neighborhoods closer to mass transit and less dependent on cars. Such precincts traditionally have had more renters than owners. Homeownership was not always the American dream. It didn’t become a widespread aspiration until the 1920s, or a practicality for most until after World War II, when mortgage aid for veterans and construction of interstate highways helped push the ownership rate over 50%. Every postwar president embraced the ownership dream, none more enthusiastically than Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

Concerned with disadvantaged minority groups’ lag in homeownership, both promoted policies, such as tax credits and easier mortgage terms for first-time buyers, that helped homeownership rise to record levels. Too many loans to people with no ability or inclination to pay them off helped create a financial bubble, which burst with disastrous results for the economy. Homeownership, once one of the few things on which Democrats and Republicans agreed, became a political pariah. Rarely has a national ideal fallen so far so fast.

The housing crash’s ground zero was Las Vegas. People who thought you couldn’t lose money on a house lost everything. At one point, an astonishing three-quarters of Las Vegas mortgage holders owed more on their homes than they were worth, a percentage that still hovers around 25%. That’s one of many factors suppressing home sales. Another is the fact that millions of houses have been flipped to rentals by investors who snapped them up at rock-bottom prices years ago. One was 4123 Recktenwall. ‘AN UNLUCKY GENERATION’

When a burglar broke in the front door last month, Bryan Severance realized once again how much he wants to own his own home. “If I own a home, I can make a home safe,” he says. Bryan and Melissa bought a house in 2003, the year after they married. Bryan took over his father’s business, and in the boom years, he expanded it quickly with funds borrowed against their fast-appreciating house. When the economy collapsed, they lost the business and the house. After renting for five years, they tried to buy again. They had their heart set on a house with a big covered backyard patio — ideal for family movie nights. The

lender pulled out at the last minute because the way Bryan’s employer listed his income made it look as if he had two jobs. The Severances lost about $4,000 in pre-closing costs. It’s a typical story these days: A sale undone by a combination of a borrower’s sullied credit history and a lender’s post-crash aversion to risk. The Recktenwall house was worth about $325,000 when it was completed in 2007 near the peak of the market. The owner lost it to foreclosure, and it was sold to an investment company for $135,000 in 2011. The poignancy of having to rent a house that was built to be owned by families is not lost on Bryan and Melissa. They are members of Generation X, whose homeownership rates are 5% lower than others of the same age in previous decades. “We’re an unlucky generation,” Bryan says. “We bought our house in the boom and lost it in the bust. And now the market’s rising again without us.’’ PRIDE OF RENTERSHIP

When she moved to Las Vegas last year from Minnesota, LuAnn Chiesi thought she knew what a rental apartment complex looked like. Then she visited one called Veritas, which opened in 2010. Three pools. Three gyms. Free Wi-Fi. The covered outdoor fire pit. The coffee bar. The Halloween Candy Carnival. “This is not the place you lived in when you got out of college,” says LuAnn, 61, who’s retired and recently married. Most of Veritas’ 1,000 residents, who include a smattering of Generation Xers with young kids, could afford to own a home but choose not to. Veritas, where monthly rents range from $1,400 for three bedrooms to $850 for one, is part of a growing class of amenity-rich apartment complexes that offer an alternative to owning. In fact, most of the nation’s newly constructed housing is rental. LuAnn and her husband, Robert, took a three-bedroom apartment for what they assumed would be a year, “until we found something to buy,’’ she recalls. “Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?’’ But the Chiesis found they didn’t miss lawn mowers or

mortgage payments. “I don’t care if I ever own a house again,” LuAnn says. “When the lease was up this year, we looked at each other and said, ‘Why would we ever move?’ ” A year ago, the odds seemed against Lindsay Bell or Hazel and Ralph Lacanienta becoming homeowners. The Lacanientas lost their house to foreclosure in 2011. Bell was a teacher’s aide making less than $34,000 a year who’d never owned a credit card. But Lindsay, 28, a single parent with a 9-year-old daughter, owns a condominium in a gated community with a pool and a gym. The Lacanientas and their three kids have a three-bedroom house in the region’s most prestigious master-planned community. Their experience shows how, despite the end of the national policies that pumped up homeownership, some people are becoming homeowners through a combination of personal thrift, institutional aid and sheer persistence. In 2012, Bell sought help from Neighborhood Housing Services of Southern Nevada, a non-profit group that received grants from Wells Fargo and the FedLindsay Bell eral Home Loan Bank of San Francisco to help first-time home buyers. Lindsay completed a course on how to buy and maintain a home; saved $6,000 for a down payment; and received $30,000 toward the purchase of the house, on the condition she not sell for five years. After three years of saving, looking and living with relatives, she bought a two-bedroom condo with an attached garage for $105,000. Her monthly mortgage payment is $337, which she says is cheaper than renting and allows her to save. Paying rent is “like giving money away,’’ she says. “I want my money to make me money.’’ The Lacantientas are what their real estate broker, Bryan Kyle, calls “boomerang buyers.’’ In 2002, the couple bought their first home for $211,000. In three years, it almost doubled in value. Ralph had begun selling real estate. When business began to slide, he doubled down, borrowing against their house to buy more properties. Soon, the Lacantientas owed $352,000 on a house whose value had sunk to $170,000. They were able to rent another house. Ralph started selling used cars and eventually opened his own dealership. This year, they bought another house in the same community for $356,000. Despite having lived through the crash, “I’m not scared of owning,’’ Ralph says as the family puppy, Enzo, runs around the two-story living room. “The value could go down, but we’ve learned our lesson. We always want to owe less than the house is worth.’’ Corrections & Clarifications USA TODAY is committed to accuracy.

Almost 50M will be traveling under tight security Trevor Hughes USA TODAY

Americans taking to the air and roads for Thanksgiving will battle both the crush of fellow travelers and security hassles brought on by a State Department global travel warning. AAA, formerly known as the American Automobile Association, predicts that 46.9 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles from home this holiday, the largest number since 2007. Lower gas prices, spokeswoman Yolanda Cade said, are an “early holiday present” for drivers. Luke Jensen, who lives in the Des Moines area, unwrapped that holiday present early: He and his fiancée packed their four kids into their new full-size SUV on Friday and drove 16 hours to Colorado for a ski vacation. The lower gas prices left more money in the Army veteran’s pocket, and Tuesday, he took the family horseback riding with the unexpected extra cash. “We would have come out anyway, but we wouldn’t have done as much. That’s really helping us,” Jensen said. “The kids are really excited.” About 25 million people will fly during the Thanksgiving holiday, and most will fly domestically, Airlines For America, which represents air carriers, said in a statement.

agree or not, the clear and tough message from Trump on foreign affairs resonates with a large chunk of primary voters. That’s enough to keep him on top for now,” said Phil Musser of digital consulting firm IMGE.

Trump got 18 first-place votes this week, Marco Rubio got seven and Ted Cruz got three. Despite Trump’s continued strength, our experts see other candidates best positioned to gain from Carson’s struggles. “Cruz and Rubio are moving up,” former presidential candidate Herman Cain said. “Carson is losing a little support.” Journalist Carl Leubsdorf said Carson is “losing strength because of questions about his autobiography and his foreign policy knowledge. Some of his evangelical support appears to be moving to Cruz, especially in pivotal Iowa.” “I’m putting Cruz second this week,” former congressman Dan Maffei said. “He is holding his own in the polls, and the Christian right loves him. When Carson eventually collapses, he will benefit.” Outside the top three, the big change in our rankings is Bobby Jindal’s departure from the race, which may reduce some competition for the evangelical vote in Iowa. Nobody else in the field looks primed to break out of the pack. “What stuns me is how little the playing field seems to shift week to week,” Twitter’s Adam Sharp said.

A daily pill can prevent HIV infection, but few take it CDC: Risk can be cut, yet some patients, doctors are unaware Liz Szabo

USA TODAY

Although a daily pill can prevent HIV infection, very few people actually take it. About 1.2 million Americans are at high risk for HIV and could benefit from taking the pill, sold under the brand name Truvada, in a strategy that doctors call “pre-exposure prophylaxis,” or PrEP, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Studies in men who have sex with men show that taking PrEP reduces the risk of contracting HIV by 92%. Studies in injection drug users have found that PrEP reduced the risk of infection by more than 70%. Yet only about 21,000 people — less than 1% of those who could benefit — are taking PrEP, the CDC’s Jonathan Mermin said. Although the Food and Drug Administration approved Truvada in 2012, one-third of primary care doctors have never heard of PrEP, according to a national survey that has not yet been published. “We have this sea change in HIV prevention, but it is one of the best-kept secrets in medicine,” said J.D. Davids, managing

editor at TheBody.com, an online resource on HIV and AIDS. Actor Charlie Sheen’s recent HIV disclosure could help spread the word. On The Dr. Oz Show last week, Sheen’s former girlfriend, Amanda Bruce, said she took medication to prevent becoming infected. Sheen said that medication reduced his HIV levels to an undetectable level. Treating people with HIV with effective drugs can reduce their viral loads to “undetectable” levels, meaning that the virus can’t be found with standard tests. Doctors say there are practical barriers to getting PrEP to everyone who could benefit. The pills can cause kidney and bone damage, said Paul Sax, clinical director of infectious disease clinic at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He said patients taking PrEP need to check with doctors every three months. Truvada, made by Gilead Sciences Inc., costs about $10,000 a year, according to the CDC. Many insurance plans cover PrEP, and uninsured patients can get Truvada for free through Gilead’s patient assistance program, said Carlos del Rio, professor of global health and medicine at Emory University in Atlanta. Although state AIDS Drug Assistance Programs pay for drugs to treat HIV, they don’t pay for PrEP, Sax said. Some state Medicaid programs don’t pay for PrEP either, del Rio said.

GO AHEAD, QUIT YOUR DAY JOB

Paul Davidson @PDavidsonusat USA TODAY

here isn’t quite enough quit in Americans these days. The number of workers switching jobs has leveled off this year after rising steadily since the labor market bottomed out in January 2010. Their stagnating ranks concern some economists because a large number of “quits” reflects a dynamic economy in which workers feel confident enough to leave one job for another. Job switching also ensures that workers are in positions that fully utilize their skills, increasing productivity and economic growth. About 2.7 million Americans quit jobs in September, the latest Labor Department data available. That’s a solid total, but it has held steady for the past 13 months despite an unemployment rate that fell to 5.1% from 5.9% during that period. By contrast, from early 2010 to late 2014, the number of quits climbed from 1.7 million to 2.7 million after many workers had hunkered down and held on to positions during and after the Great Recession. During a similar point in the last recovery in late 2005, with unemployment at about 5%, the number of monthly quitters hovered at 3 million. “Employees do not seem confident enough in the labor market to quit jobs at nearly the rate they did during the last expansion,” UBS economist Samuel Coffin says. He attributes their caution to vestiges of the bruising downturn, particularly modest average wage growth of about 2% a year that likely isn’t enough to entice many workers to take a risk.

Although each move brought lower pay, his current position offers more opportunity for promotion. “There seems to be quite a lot of demand for what I do,” he says.

SAN FRANCISCO Attention Apple CEO Tim Cook. While rumor has it you’re planning to build a vehicle, consumers feel especially comfortable with a self-driving car created through a partnership between an automotive manufacturer and a tech company. When the World Economic Forum and Boston Consulting Group asked nearly 6,000 respondents from 10 countries about their attitudes toward selfdriving cars, 46% said they’d want a traditional automaker to produce the self-driving car, and of those 69% said they’d be most interested in a product coming from an auto-tech joint venture. While Apple hasn’t said anything about its automotive plans, the company typically goes its own way when developing new products. In contrast, Google, which has been testing autonomous cars for six years, repeatedly has expressed interest in partnering with an auto manufacturer for its self-driving car rollout, which may happen in the next five years.

tive side, companies such as Ford, Audi and Mercedes-Benz steadily have been ramping up in-house self-driving car tech and teams. Of those polled by WEF/BCG — who hailed from countries ranging from the U.S. to the United Arab Emirates — respondents in France, Germany and Japan reported the highest levels of

trust in traditional auto companies making self-driving cars, ranging from 50% to 58%. In the U.S., 32% of respondents said automakers would be the ideal manufacturer of such vehicles. “This survey is reassuring news for traditional automotive companies,” says Nikolaus Lang, a BCG senior partner. “Our re-

sults indicate that consumers primarily expect OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) to play a leading role in the rollout of self-driving vehicles, with technology players such as Apple and Google contributing their relevant expertise.” Not surprisingly, two-thirds of those polled predicted self-driving cars would be powered by either electric or hybrid engines. Google’s autonomous car is electric, as are Tesla’s Model S and Model X sedans, both of which are being loaded with a growing number of self-driving car features. Tesla recently added an autopilot function to its latest software update, allowing the vehicles to keep themselves in a lane as well as change lanes safely when the driver signals. Other findings from the survey, out Tuesday, include the fact that 60% were eager to try a self-driving car, with respondents in emerging markets with high-density cities expressing the most interest (85% in India, 75% in China). Citizens with the least interest (36%) live in Japan. Many respondents (51%) expressed concern over the safety in being driven by a robot. The concerns also carry over to the possibility of hackers breaking in and redirecting the car. And only 35% of parents polled said they’d be willing to let their children ride alone in a self-driving car.

finished down the Friday after Thanksgiving five of the past six years, Schaeffer’s Investment Research says. But investors looking to really cash in during the Thanksgiving week should consider stocks that have fared the best the past 10 years. The best-performing stock over the last decade in the foursession trading week is upscale fashion retailer Nordstrom, which has posted average returns of 6.4%. This year the retailer is living up to its reputation, gaining 4.6% through Tuesday. Coach, the high-end maker of leather goods and handbags, also is a solid pick, gaining 5.5% on average since 2005 and rallying more than 5% this week.

Food processor a hot commodity, but use caution

Q: Is Hormel hurt by meat fears? Matt Krantz

mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Processed meat, including bacon and hot dogs, landed in the hot seat after a warning from a World Health Organization group in October. But that hasn’t bothered Hormel investors a bit. Hormel, a food processor best known for its meat brands such as Spam and Farmer John, on Tuesday reported 17% higher adjusted quarterly profit of 74 cents a share. The company also boosted its annual dividend by 16% to $1.16 a share and gave a better-than-expected outlook for 2016 profits. The company benefitted from lower ingredient costs. Investors pushed the sizzling stock even higher. Shares of Hormel rose another $2 a share, or 2.9%, to $71.32 on Tuesday. Tuesday’s gain takes the stock’s year-to-date increase to more than 35%. That’s not bad considering the WHO cautioned about the hazards of consuming some of the types of meat products Hormel sells. That’s not to say Hormel escaped all the fears. Ironically, it’s not the beef that’s the problem. Sales of its Jennie-O Turkey Store brand were down 18% during the quarter largely due to the avian flu outbreak. But while meat is hot and so is Hormel’s stock, investors shouldn’t flock to the stock. Given its massive jump this year, Hormel shares are already trading more than 10% higher than what analysts say they’re worth.

Pfizer blasted, but five global drugmakers pay lowest taxes Matt Krantz @mattkrantz USA TODAY

People are piling on Pfizer, incensed about the drug giant’s plan to merge with its smaller Irish rival Allergan in a deal known as an “inversion” that will essentially cut the U.S.-based company’s tax bill in half. The critics might want to stop giving Pfizer such a hard time. The company is just trying to get what its major foreign rivals already have. Five global drugmakers, including Britain’s AstraZeneca and

Mylan and Switzerland’s Novartis paid the lowest effective tax rates over the past 12 months of 17.5% or less, according to a USA TODAY analysis of data from S&P Capital IQ. The analysis looks at all the 14 pharmaceutical companies in the S&P Global 100 index and the Standard & Poor’s 500 that reported valid effective tax rates over the past 12 months. Just one U.S.-based drug maker, Eli Lilly is in the lineup of industry players with the lowest five tax rates, underscoring the disadvantage many firms based in the U.S. face when trying to compete with global powerhouses.

ANDREW YATES, AFP/GETTY IMAGES

Britain’s AstraZeneca reported an effective tax rate of less than 0%.

The 14 global pharmaceuticals companies paid an average effective tax rate of 17%, well below the average 24.7% average effective tax rate paid by the six U.S.based firms. Seeing how foreign drugmakers are oceans apart in the taxes they paid helps explain why Pfizer was eager to put together a deal that essentially results in it being bought by Ireland-based Allergan. The potential tax savings could put it more on equal footing with other drug giants. Mallinckrodt is the low tax leader. The Irish drug company reported an income tax credit of

$92.9 million during the past 12 months, S&P Capital IQ says. That’s a nice offset for the company that reported earnings before taxes of $215.3 million. AstraZeneca is another tax champ. The drug company Pfizer tried unsuccessfully to buy last year reported an effective tax rate of less than 0%. It reported an income tax credit of $10 million on earnings before taxes excluding usual items of $1.7 billion. Compare that against Pfizer’s effective tax rate of 24.5%, and it’s not difficult to see why the company might be trying to find ways to lower the tax burden.

IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY WHO’S CELEBRATING TODAY?

NEW YORK Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy can tell you exactly how to kill Frankenstein’s monster. For starters, fire won’t faze the Promethean creation, so bring along a spear or something to stick him with. Also, “you need to make sure you take out both sets of vital organs,” Radcliffe advises. “Yeah, because he’s got four lungs and two hearts,” McAvoy adds, smiling. “And you don’t even want to ask what he’s got down there. Horrific.” Those are just a couple of tips the affable British actors picked up while starring in Victor Frankenstein (in theaters Wednesday), an action-adventure spin on Mary Shelley’s 1818 gothic horror novel. The film stars McAvoy as the zealous mad scientist and monster’s namesake, while Radcliffe plays his hunchbacked, brainy assistant, Igor. Like many of us, Radcliffe and McAvoy were familiar with the lumbering, bolted depictions of the Frankenstein monster seen every Halloween but had little familiarity beyond those. As a kid, Radcliffe watched Mel Brooks’ madcap 1974 comedy Young Frankenstein. McAvoy, meanwhile, read the Shelley book in school but had never seen a movie version. “There’s this kind of bank of knowledge that we have in our subconscious,” says McAvoy, 36. “I’ve never seen a Frankenstein film before, but I’ve got images of Boris Karloff” from the 1930s movies. In Victor, the monstrous icon doesn’t even spring to life until near the end of the film. Instead, the film delves into Igor’s backstory: He was rescued from a circus freak show by Frankenstein, who straightens his back and drains his hump in an early grossout scene. Igor also gets a love interest in a ravishing trapeze artist (Jessica Brown Findlay), whose life he saves using his acute medical knowledge. “I found Igor really appealing because he’s really sweet,” says Radcliffe, 26. “Here’s somebody who’s had absolutely no kindness shown to him, and yet he still has so much capacity to be kind.

TODD PLITT, USA TODAY

James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe drew on their “bank of knowledge” in their “subconscious” to reinvent the Frankenstein tale. McAvoy had read the classic but never seen a movie version.

“Here’s somebody who’s had absolutely no kindness shown to him, and yet he still has so much capacity to be kind.” Daniel Radcliffe on playing Igor

There was something really wonderful about that and an earnestness to him that seemed familiar to me in some way.” Although they had never met before Victor, Radcliffe and McAvoy hit it off instantly and developed an easy rapport on and off the set. Slumped on a couch in a Tribeca hotel room, they laugh and have a go at each other for their similar haircuts: Radcliffe is

buzzed for his role as an undercover FBI agent in next year’s Imperium, and McAvoy is shaved for X-Men: Apocalypse (in theaters May 27), in which he reprises the mutant Professor X. Asked about the matching ’dos, McAvoy grins. “I’m just trying to copy him. Anything he does, I have to do better.” “Oh, God, what am I going to do next?” Radcliffe jokes. “Afro.”

Leave it to Pixar to go back to the prehistoric age to dig up all your feelings, fossilized and otherwise. What the simple animated story of a young Apatosaurus and a little cavekid lacks in complexity is made up for in glorious visuals, way-cute critters and a hearty amount of sincerity. The Good Dinosaur isn’t as nuanced as, say, Inside Out, but it MOVIE also doesn’t need to REVIEW be to get its sentiBRIAN mental point across. TRUITT What if the asteroid missed the Earth and dinosaurs thrived for millions of years? That scenario spawns a wild kingdom of reptiles, weird birds and other creatures falling into an Old West way of life: Herbivores are farmers, carnivores are ranch hands. Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa) is the runt of his Apatosaur litter, and he’s honestly not great at doing jobs around the family farm. Poppa (Jeffrey Wright) and Momma (Frances McDormand) want to help him get over his fears and make his mark in their long-necked clan, yet he’s not able. When his dad is washed away in a storm, Arlo is even more out of sorts, and he, too, is stranded by water hundreds of miles from home. Enter Spot (Jack Bright), an

THE GOOD DINOSAUR eeeE STARS Voices of Raymond Ochoa, Sam Elliott, Jeffrey Wright DIRECTOR Peter Sohn RATING PG for peril, action and thematic elements RUNNING TIME 1 hour, 40 minutes Opens Wednesday nationwide

DISNEY/PIXAR

An Apatosaurus named Arlo (voice of Raymond Ochoa) finds an unlikely human friend in selfless Spot (Jack Bright). adorably feral boy who initially breaks into the dino family’s corn silo for snacks but later befriends Arlo on his journey home, one that involves helping out a trio of cowboy T. rexes round up some longhorns and avoiding a pack of no-good Pterodactyls. The photorealistic style used by director Peter Sohn makes these extinct species come to life in a fantastic way — raging rapids and an uncivilized landscape help four-legged cobras and raptor rustlers pop off the screen, and tree-filled areas are a sensational backdrop for Forrest Woodbush (Sohn), a winningly oddball,

twitchy-eyed Triceratops who collects lovable animals and gives them monikers like “Destructor” and “Dream Crusher.” There’s quite a bit of inspired voice casting, starting with Sam Elliott just being Sam Elliott as Butch, the gruff cowboy dad of the T. rex family (which also features Anna Paquin and A.J. Buckley), and Steve Zahn sounding like he’s hopped up on moonshine as the Pterodactyl leader Thunderclap. Drawls and twangs abound, adding to Good Dino’s Western flavor. The boy-and-his-dog dynamic doesn’t do justice to the

relationship between Arlo and Spot. They’re much more equals and best friends, depending on each other through a variety of obstacles thrown at them. And a few could be pretty intense for the little ones in the audience who are bound to love these two pals the most — things get particularly hairy in raging storms, and there are some surprisingly gruesome moments, though they’re more playful than horrifying. A sense of family, the one you have and the one you make, strongly pervades every inch of the world The Good Dinosaur inhabits — and the animated short attached to it, the flat-out awesome and multicultural Sanjay’s Super Team. Both are out to jerk more than a few tears and don’t take any time stomping straight for your heart.

‘Voice of Jayhawks’ sets retirement By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Lahaina, Hawaii — Bob Davis, who for 32 seasons has been play-by-play voice of Kansas University football and men’s basketball, has announced he will retire following the current hoops season. What that means is Saturday’s Kansas-Kansas State football game will be his last football broadcast for the Jayhawk Radio Network. He’ll remain on board broadcasting basketball

Entrusted with the responsibility of slowing down UCLA junior Bryce Alford, Graham did more than that, limiting the highscoring coach’s son to just one shot and no points during a first half dominated by the Jayhawks.

Pacers 123, Wizards 106 Washington — Paul George scored a season-high 40 points and made seven three-pointers, part of a franchise-record 19 by Indiana in a victory over Washington on Tuesday night. C.J. Miles added 32 points, his most since joining the Pacers before the start of last season, as Indiana won for the ninth time in 11 games. Miles was 8-of-9 from beyond the arc, and George also missed only once from deep. The Pacers finished 73.1 percent (19 of 26) from three-point range, crushing their previous season high of 44.4 percent (12 of 27). Gary Neal scored 23 points off the bench for the Wizards, whose three-game winning streak was snapped.

Oklahoma moved into third, and Iowa was fourth in the new College Football Playoff rankings as Notre Dame slipped to No. 6. Clemson and Alabama remained the top two teams in the third-to-last committee rankings. The Sooners (10-1) seem to be in solid shape with only INDIANA (123) one game left in their season.

Hawks 121, Celtics 97 Atlanta — Paul Millsap scored 25 points, Jeff Teague added 16, and Atlanta beat Boston. Atlanta had dropped four of five and was coming off a loss Saturday at Cleveland in which coach Mike Budenholzer was ejected and subsequently fined $25,000 for bumping into referee Ben Taylor. “I think that was a little closer to what we want to be and how we want to play on both ends of the court,” Budenholzer said. “The competitive spirit was closer to where we need it to be.” Avery Bradley had 15 of his 25 points in the first half for Boston, which has dropped three of four. Isaiah Thomas scored 14 points for the Celtics. Kyle Korver, Thabo Sefolosha and Mike Scott each finished with 15 points as the Hawks never trailed after early minutes of the first quarter. Atlanta shot 56.3 percent from the field, a season high for the Hawks and a Boston opponent. The Hawks essentially put the game out of reach with an 18-3 run that made it 10080 with 6:20 remaining on Teague’s three-point play.

Clippers 111, Nuggets 94 Denver — Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan each scored 18 points, and Los Angeles beat Denver to snap a three-game losing streak. Jordan finished with 11 rebounds and four blocks, while Griffin had 10 rebounds. Chris Paul had 15 points and 10 assists to give the Clippers (7-7) three players with double-doubles. The Clippers, who hadn’t been under .500 this far into a season under Doc Rivers, made eight three-pointers after coming into the game at 31.3 percent. The Clippers hit their first four shots from deep, missed their next seven but found the stroke again when Jamal Crawford hit a halfcourt shot to give them an 83-72 lead at the end of the third.

Bulls 93, Blazers 88 Portland, Ore. — Jimmy Butler scored 22 points, Derrick Rose added 17 in his return to the lineup and the Chicago Bulls held off Portland. Rose had missed two games because of a left ankle injury. His floating jumper stretched Chicago’s lead to 78-65 early in the fourth quarter, but Portland rallied within 78-76 on Ed Davis’ tip shot. Damian Lillard missed a three-pointer to tie it for Portland with 2:25 left, then missed the second of a pair of free throws with 20.7 seconds left that would have also pulled the Blazers into a tie.

Kansas will open 2016 slate with two home games J-W Staff Reports

The Kansas University football team officially announced its 2016 schedule on Tuesday. The Jayhawks will play six games at Memorial Stadium and six on the road. KU’s second season under head coach David Beaty will begin with back-to-back home games, against Rhode Island and Ohio, before Kansas closes its non-conference portion of the schedule with a road game at Memphis. An idle week will lead Kansas into its Big 12 slate, which opens with an Oct. 1 trip to Lubbock, Texas, to face Texas Tech. Conference home Smithson will be “fine” this week, KU’s first-year coach said the rest of the roster is in relatively good health, and he expects the Jayhawks to be “pretty much at full strength” for the Sunflower Showdown. “We’ve got a lot of guys — just like everybody in college football — that they got some nagging injuries they’re going through,” Beaty said. “But for the most part right now, we really are in pretty good shape coming out of that game the other day.”

KANSAS 92, UCLA 73

L awrence J ournal -W orld

UCLA: KU ‘really good’ defensively By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Lahaina, Hawaii — For the second night in a row, the Kansas University men’s basketball team lit up the first-half scoreboard for more than 50 points during Tuesday’s 92-73 victory over UCLA in the Maui Invitational semifinals. Forget the points, though. This time around, it was the Kansas defense that stifled its opponent, building a 59-33 lead over

the Bruins, six points more than the 53-33 firsthalf spread Kansas (3-1) laid on Chaminade in the opening round. “Going in, we knew that they were a really, really good team defensively, and that’s what they hang their hat on,” said UCLA big man Tony Parker, who finished 5-of-8 from the floor for 15 points and eight rebounds. “We had to get great shots to beat a team like that, and we didn’t take good enough

shots. And we didn’t get enough stops on the defensive end, with the way we were shooting, to even contend.” UCLA coach Steve Alford lamented his team’s sluggish start, the second of its kind in a row here in paradise. Despite eventually building a six-point halftime lead in its Monday win against UNLV, UCLA trailed 16-7 to open that one and did not take its first lead until the 8:50 mark of the first half.

“Well, really tough first half,” Alford said of his team’s 26-point halftime hole Tuesday. “We haven’t started either (first) half well since we’ve been here.” As Parker mentioned, a big reason for that was the Kansas defense. The Jayhawks, who shot 58 percent in the opening half, limited the Bruins (3-2) to 34 percent shooting (11-of-32) during the opening 20 minutes. Nine of UCLA’s 33 points came from the free-throw line,

and just two players made even half of their shots in that painful first half. “That’s a very, very good basketball team, definitely a top 5 team in the country,” Alford said. “And if we play poorly in a 20-minute stretch against that, it’s gonna be hard on us. And that happened tonight.” The Bruins improved drastically in the second half, scoring 40 points and shooting 59 percent during the second 20 minutes.

But most of that came with the game out of hand. Still, Alford was pleased with his team’s response and hopes that carries over into today’s thirdplace game against Danny Manning-led Wake Forest. “When you get knocked down,” Alford said. “You either lay there and wait ’til somebody picks you up, or you show some character and some toughness and some pride and do better.”

KU whipped by 16 points in the 2011 Maui semifinals on the way to a runner-up finish to Duke. “I think it’s we were playing UCLA,” KU coach Bill Self said, asked a possible reason for his team surging to 26-9 lead just eight minutes into the game. “We played (Div. II) Chaminade and shot the heck out of it (in 123-72 first-round win Monday), but I felt our guys felt this tournament started today. Not being negative toward Chaminade. We didn’t look past them. The whole thing is, I think they (Jayhawks) said, ‘I can’t wait to get a chance to play a team and program as well known as this one.’” KU hit 57.6 percent of its first-half shots (eight of 15 from three) and 54.2 for the game (10 of 23 from three). “We played great the first half. That’s about as well as we can play offensively,” Self said. KU led 59-33 at the break. “We scored 59, and to be candid with you, Svi (Mykhailiuk) didn’t shoot the ball well at all. He had like six wide-open looks (six points first half, 2-for-7 shooting; 13 for the game, 5-for-13 shooting). We’re doing a lot of good things. We’re sharing it. We’re playing fast.” Self, after five of his players scored nine or more points, acknowledged: “I’m exited. Usually the tendency is, you don’t guard as hard when you score easy. That’s obviously the case. The second half was a H-O-R-S-E contest. We didn’t guard ’em all the second half (in getting outscored 40-33). That was, ‘Just get through the game.’ Offensively, we were bad against Michigan State — bad the second half — but other than that we’ve actually moved the ball pretty well and shot pretty well the majority of the season.” Guards Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden Jr. and Devonté Graham had 16, 15 and nine points respectively. Mason had seven assists and Graham and Selden three. “We used to be a station-to-station team,” Self said. “We ran our highlow and 2-game. We run those as plays (now), but we are a ballscreen-mode team now. We need more guys who can make plays off the bounce. The ball is the hardest thing to guard in college basketball. We used to be a team that scores off the catch. Now we are a team that scores off the bounce a lot more. Having two little guys in there certainly makes us better as long as you can rebound the ball.”

NOTEBOOK

Stallings’ familiar face awaits KU By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Lahaina, Hawaii — It’ll be Kansas University versus a former Jayhawk assistant coach in today’s finals of the Maui Invitational. This time, this tournament, it won’t be the Jayhawks against Danny Manning’s Wake Forest Demon Deacons, but KU versus Kevin Stallings’ Vanderbilt Commodores in a 9 p.m. tipoff. Vandy (5-0) defeated St. John’s, 92-55, in the opener in Maui, then stopped Wake Forest, 86-64, Tuesday in the semifinals. Stallings, 55, who has been at Vandy 17 seasons, came to the Nashville school from Illinois State, where he was head coach from 1993-99. He worked for Roy Williams at KU from 1988 to ’93. He was assistant on two KU Final Four squads — the 1990-91 team that went 27-8 and lost to Duke in the national title game — and the 1992-93 ballclub that went 29-7 and lost to North Carolina in the national semis. He coached the likes of Rex Walters, Adonis Jordan, Richard Scott, Mark Randall, Alonzo Jamison and current Wake Forest assistant Steve Woodberry, among others. Stallings’ current Vandy team is ranked 19th in the latest AP poll.

VANDERBILT COACH KEVIN STALLINGS, A FORMER KANSAS ASSISTANT UNDER ROY WILLIAMS, gets the attention of his defense during the first half against Wake Forest. Stallingsled Vandy will face Kansas University in the championship of the Maui Invitational tonight. “It’ll matter to me personally no matter who we play,” Stallings said, before the KU-UCLA game, asked if the game would have special significance if the Jayhawks indeed were the foe in the final, which they turned out to be following a semifinal win over UCLA. “Somebody mentioned it the other night at the (tourney) banquet. You had Bill (Self), Danny (Manning, Wake Forest coach) and me, three guys that had been a part of the KU basketball program.

“Let’s see which guy came in third in terms of impact on the program,” Stallings added, smiling. “Bill won a national championship. Danny won a national championship and was one of the greatest players who played there, and I was a lowly assistant coach. “I was there five great years with Roy and proud of my time there. It’s a wonderful place. My son was born there. He’s 25 now. We have great memories of coaching there and Phog Allen Fieldhouse and lots of

success. My son was on the cover of one of the media guides when I was there. Little bitty shorty looked cute then,” Stallings added, pointing out “that was a joke.” “A lot has changed since then,” he said. “Anyway, it was recognized (at banquet in Maui). I recognize the role I played and it was very, very less significant than the other head coaches in this tournament (Manning, Self).” l

Evan loves KU: KU senior walk-on guard Evan Manning could have

joined his dad at Wake Forest last season with the blessing of Jayhawk coach Bill Self. “I talked to Evan only a little bit,” Self said of speaking to Evan about possibly transferring so he could be on his papa’s team. Danny moved from Tulsa to Wake and is in his second season in WinstonSalem. “I talked to Danny about it. Danny said, ‘It was his (Evan’s) lifelong dream to play at Kansas.’ “I know how close Danny and Julie (Evan’s mom) are to Evan and Taylor (daughter). They were fine with him staying at Kansas and playing at KU. I asked Danny, ‘Don’t you want to take Evan?’ He said, ‘Yeah I want to take him but he doesn’t want to come. He wants to stay here.’ “They handled it beautifully,” Self added. “They let Evan make his own decision. Evan loves KU.” Indeed, Evan recently told the Journal-World: “My dad is happy. He is loving what he’s doing. He has a great opportunity at Wake Forest. They have great facilities, great everything there. He likes it and is hopeful they are going to have a good season this year. “He always wants me to come down and see the place. But he knows I love KU. He would never try to pull me away or anything like that.”

Make no mistake about Free State High grad Evan’s love of KU and Lawrence. “This is my dream school,” Evan told the J-W. “I came to KU. I love it and have loved every minute of it.” l

Swannie in paradise again: KU graduate Mike Swanson, vice president of communications and broadcasting for the world champion Kansas City Royals, is working his 23rd straight Maui Invitational as a stat man for ESPN. l

Odom speaks: Tournament director Dave Odom is former head coach at Wake Forest, which is in this week’s Invitational. “My feelings will remain my own,” Odom told the Ocala StarBanner, asked if he was rooting for the Demon Deacons. “I just hope all the teams here have a great week of basketball and a great experience on Maui.” Odom was an assistant to Terry Holland at Virginia when Chaminade beat the No. 1-ranked Cavaliers in 1984. “People think we didn’t play hard that day,” Holland told ocala.com. “The players played as hard as they could. They just didn’t play very well.”

No. 9 North Carolina 80, Kansas State 70 Kansas City, Mo. — Justin Jackson scored 22 points, Kennedy Meeks added 15, and North Carolina used a 21-3 finishing run to beat Kansas State in the CBE Classic title game. Theo Pinson scored 11, and Brice Johnson had 10 points for the Tar Heels (5-1), who trailed 67-59 with just more than fourminutes remaining before their game-ending charge. Kamau Stokes hit six three-pointers and finished with 24 points for the Wildcats (4-1), but the freshman also committed a pair of costly turnovers in the closing minutes. Justin Edwards added 10 points. Meeks started the Tar Heels’ final push with a pair of free throws, and Johnson added a putback moments later — one that perhaps could have been called interference.

Barbecue spiced turkey can spice up your Thanksgiving table. Matthew Mead/AP Photo

BARBECUE YOUR BIRD By Alison Ladman

Associated Press

t occurred to us recently that many of the same flavors we crave on grilled meats during the summer also would be superb on roasted turkey at Thanksgiving. After all, cumin and chili powder and garlic and onion and thyme and smoked paprika donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just play well with beef and ribs. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also splendid on turkey, not to mention alongside stuffing and mashed potatoes. So we decided to see what would happen if we created a spice rub for our Turkey Day bird using the same ingredients we often reach for in a barbecue rub. The result was wonderful. Even better was the gravy we got from the bottom of the roasting pan. Looking for sides that play up everything going on with this bird? Consider a cornbread-based stuff-

ing, roasted sweet potatoes (perhaps with a dash of chili powder) and roasted squash drizzled with cuminspiked butter.

Fried Tofu with Awesome Sauce

Post-holiday, do your heart a favor — sort of T

he minute Thanksgiving is over, the switch is flipped and I want to start eating things that have spice, color and are the dead opposite of the rich, creamy, salty foods of the holiday. Lately, I’ve been on a tofu kick. I know, I know. But here’s the deal — I fry it. So it’s not as healthy as it sounds. I fry it and dip it in my semi-homemade “awesome sauce” which is a not-so-close knockoff of the Awesome Sauce served at the Blue Koi restaurants in Kansas City, Mo. If you have never been to one, by the way, please make the trip immediately. And be sure to get the Awesome Sauce. My version is super tasty, if not exactly the same. Fried tofu is really easy and fast to do, and you pair it with that really flavorful sauce. Your guests will think you’re super fancy. I even got my 6-year-old to try it, and while he wasn’t a fan (don’t worry — he hates everything) it at least got a little attention at the dinner table.

here wasn’t even a good excuse. We’d been hiking? I was hot and hungry? But really, I just didn’t even realize I was doing it, until I looked down and saw that I had eaten an entire bag of cookies. An entire bag of my mother-in-law’s cookies, in fact. You know, the fancy Pepperidge Farm Milano ones with dark chocolate and pretzel crumbles that you hide in the closet to eat so you don’t have to share them with your kids? Yeah, all of them. Right as I was staring, horrified, at the empty paper sack, my mother-in-law walked in. Caught in the act, I started apologizing profusely, but she just laughed and said it was OK. It wasn’t really that big of a deal, but — as we enter the season of holidays and family — it illustrates an important lesson. I can be kind of a jerk sometimes. Not too often. Not usually on purpose. But sometimes? I’m a jerk. And guess what? You are, too. Got a family of oversharers? Bad cooks? Republicans? Welp, you’re not perfect either. Nobody is, and when you figure that out, family together time somehow gets a lot more fun. You know what else is fun? Cookies. While the stolen cookies did inspire them, the following cookies are not nearly as rich as the ones I purloined from my forgiving mother-in-law. They’re sweet enough to be a treat, but virtuous enough for breakfast. They’re also delicious reheated, which makes them perfect for bonding with your auntie in the 2 a.m. refrigerator light or commiserating with your cousin when all of the children are awake before dawn and you can’t find the coffee.

Directions For the sauce: Warm all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and everything is a little bubbly. For the tofu: Between two paper towels, press the tofu on all sides fairly firmly (but don’t crush it) to squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Chop it into 1/2- to 1-inch cubes, and toss it in the cornstarch so that every cube is completely covered. Meanwhile, heat the oils together in a high-sided skillet or a dutch oven over Salted Chocolate high heat. Be sure you have Sacristans enough oil to completely cover your tofu cubes.

Cooking From Scratch

Let the pastry rest while you preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Once the oven is ready, pull out one packet of dough and — without unfolding it — roll it out to the approximate size it was when you started. Then, brush the dough with melted butter and cut it into one-inch strips. Twist the strips, lay them on a baking sheet covered with parchment, and bake for about 15 minutes or until they’re golden brown. Again, butter repeat with the second puff Flour, for dusting pastry.

Analysis of Studies Finds that Omega-3s Reduce Blood Pressure Taking omega-3 supplements or consuming ample dietary levels of the nutrient can lead to reductions in blood pressure. Paige E. Miller, PhD, of the Center for Epidemiology, Biostatistic, and Computational Biology at the consulting ﬁrm Exponent, Inc., Chicago, and her colleagues analyzed 70 published studies, some of which involved supplements and others that simply looked at dietary levels of the omega-3s. Overall, Miller found that omega-3s reduced systolic blood pressure by an average of 1.52 mm Hg and diastolic pressure by 0.99 mm Hg. However, people not treated with drugs beneﬁted the most, with an average 4.51 decrease in systolic blood pressure and a 2.83 reduction in diastolic pressure. Miller and her colleagues wrote that omega-3s lower systolic blood pressure, but only amounts greater than 2 grams daily reduced diastolic pressure.

Reference: Miller PE, van Elswyk M, Alexander DD. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid and blood pressure: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. American Journal of Hypertension, 2014: doi 10.1093/ajh/hpu024.

Omega-3 Fish Oils Help Relieve Patient’s Dry Eye Syndrome An estimated 5 million American men and women suffer from dry eye syndrome in the United States. The most common treatment is artificial tears, but they provide incomplete and only temporary relief. Because inflammation of the eye’s surface plays a role in the disorder, Rahul Bhargava, MD, of the Santosh Medical College and Hospital, India, and his colleagues conducted a study using omega-3 fish oils as the treatment. Bhargava asked 264 patients with dry eye to take either omega-3 capsules or placebos twice daily for three months. Each capsule contained 325 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 175 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), adding up to 650 mg of EPA and 350 mg of DHA daily. Patients underwent four eye exams during the study. After three months, 65 percent of the patients taking omega-3s had significant improvements in dry eye symptoms, compared with only 33 percent of those taking placebos. “Omega-3 fatty acids modulate the inflammatory process in the body and nutritional supplementation may have a promising role to play in dry eye. Dietary intervention with omega-3 fatty acid not only causes symptomatic improvement but betters clinical markers of dry eye...” wrote Bhargava and his colleagues.
