Eudora loses 21-0 in state championship

By Andy Hyland

Rose Hill went on to win its first football state championship by shutting out Eudora in the Class 4A championship game Saturday in Salina. Page 1B

A lot of Myers’ excitement, though, is for what could happen in between the two river bridges. Myers is proposing the trail include a new entrance to Robinson Park, which in addition to the cannon includes a pioneer monument telling the story of the founding of the city.

Myers envisions a new outlook area could be built for visitors to gaze upon the river.

Plus, Myers is pitching that the trail will have practical purposes.

He said the trail would be an easier way for bicyclists and pedestrians to navigate the confluence of intersections near Sixth and Massachusetts streets — well, easier if anyone feels safe traveling beneath the bridges and into territory that has gained a reputation as a hangout for the homeless and transients.

But Myers said a trail could help solve that problem, too. He said the project would give the city a reason to put lighting under the trail and

Kansas University’s ongoing comprehensive fundraising campaign, Far Above: The Campaign for Kansas, got a boost from a few different areas this month.

The campaign has been operating in its “silent phase,” and KU Endowment will announce the total amount of money raised so far at a campaign kickoff event, scheduled for April 28. The overall campaign goal, expected to be more than $1 billion, will also be announced then.

The KU Endowment Association unveiled a redesigned website, kuenKANSAS dowment.org, this month. It UNIVERSITY had been in the works for more than a year, said Rosita McCoy, KU Endowment’s vice president for communications and marketing.

The site has several new features and seeks to make the online donation process easier, McCoy said.

“By the time someone comes to our site, they don’t need to be shopping,” McCoy said. “We want to make it easy to get in and get out.”

The site also has space to highlight smaller donations, which are displayed on the main page by first name only.

Recently, the site featured John, who donated $50 to the KU

MIKE MYERS, EAST LAWRENCE RESIDENT AND ARCHITECT, IS PROPOSING A NEW DOWNTOWN TRAIL that would travel along the west side of Lawrence City Hall, underneath both Kansas River bridges and into Constant Park at Sixth and Tennessee streets.

Architect wants to create downtown path under bridges

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

To Mike Myers’ way of thinking, the little spot between the two downtown Kansas River bridges is one of the more interesting locations in Lawrence.

From this spot just north of Sixth and Massachusetts — officially known as Robinson Park — the converging lines of the Kansas River bridges play tricks on your eyes and let you see the slow-moving Kaw in new ways.

Plus, the park has a cannon. That’s always cool.

“I really like finding unique, outof-the way places, and this is one of them,” Myers said.

Just down the embankment, the spot underneath the Kansas River bridges is unique, too, but not for the type of sights you would put on a visitors brochure. The day Myers walked the area with a City Hall official, they found a person sleeping underneath the bridge.

“

To my sensibilities, it makes sense to bring people and community life to that area to discourage some of the more nefarious activities that happen there.”

— Mike Myers, Lawrence architect But Myers, a longtime east Lawrence resident and an architect, is pushing an idea he thinks could bring new life to both locations.

Myers has begun lobbying for a new downtown trail that would travel along the west side of Lawrence City Hall, underneath both Kansas River bridges and into Constant Park at Sixth and Tennessee streets.

From there, folks could make the short walk across the grassy park and connect with an existing riverside trail that runs through Burcham Park.

Kansas University music composition student Jason Charney’s latest piece doesn’t make music using traditional instruments such as horns, violins and pianos. Instead, he uses his iPhone and a computer to generate sounds.

When performing his piece “Compass,” Charney will at times shake the phone, raise it high above his head, spin it and adjust levels on the touch screen.

All of the actions cause different sounds.

Carder, a senior at Carder Eudora High School, is in her second year as a student in the Kansas Academy of Mathematics and Science, an accelerated program for high school students to complete high school while attending Fort Hays State University.

The program, established by the Kansas Legislature, aims to give high-achieving students an outlet for taking challenging classes, conducting graduate-level research and accumulating at least two years’ worth of college credit — benefits designed to help stem a “brain drain” of promising high schoolers leaving Kansas while boosting prospects for the state’s economic and social future.

For Carder, the academy program simply gives her an opportunity to branch out, grow up and look ahead, essentially starting college while still completing high school.

Marjory Ruth Hermes Marjory Ruth Hermes passed out of this world peacefully, in the early hours Monday November 7th after a long graceful journey through lung cancer.

She was born June 28th 1931 in Caldwell, Kansas and was the only child of Truman and Ruth Brown.

Her life was an adventure that included growing up between her parents and grandparents in Kansas and Colorado where she ran the mountains and the woods, rode horses and developed her life-long passion for animals of all kinds. She lived as a single mother in Germany and Belgium and returned to Kansas upon the death of her father. She was introduced to the love of her life, Dr. Richard L. Hermes, vicariously by her father, as she sought someone to fly her father’s ashes over the Kansas River; Dr. Hermes was a pilot who was delighted to oblige. They married 6 months later and over time blended their children into a big loving, messy family with six children, always a cat, a farm with critters and cows, where Marjory could ride her beloved horses and Richard could pretend to be a farmer and herd cows on his motorcycle. Marjory and Richard traveled the world together and continued a life of adventure exploring the wilds of Africa, Greece, South America, China, and countless other destinations. They fished, danced, sailed, laughed, and cavorted joyfully through this world and enjoyed more than 40 years of a blessed life together.

Richard preceded her in death. Marjory had amazing talent and enjoyed success in whatever interests she pursued. She had a creative soul and was a consummate seamstress, knitter, and needle artist.

She painted on canvas and silk and there are many in Lawrence that enjoyed the fruits of her labor, as she was always generous with her creations. She shared her amazing talents through teaching others as a certified creative machine embroidery instructor. She entered back into the workforce at Herb’s studio after all the children were out of the house creating their lives, as a touch up artist and restorer.

From there she became a partner/ agent of Hayes Richardson and Santee Hermes Insurance Agency.

This led her into being active in ABWA and serving as President. In 1984 Marjory received The Woman of the Year Award; an official designation, but always clear to whomever she touched throughout her life. She was a volunteer at Haskell and served as host for the American Indian Hall of Fame. She participated in the Therapeutic Horse Riding Instruction to lead handicapped students to increase their mobility and self confidence. She spent the last four years of her life in Texas near family and missed Lawrence every day, but she was content, safe and happy surrounded by people who loved her and recognized her magic. She called bingo, she played bridge, she danced, and she hummed, a sure sign of her contentment. Marjory was so much more than a list of her accomplishments.

Who she was permeated everything she did. Every smile, every kind word, every touch, what she baked, sewed and talked about all a reflection of a classy, elegant, humble, strong, gentle, extraordinary woman. Her earthly body is gone, but her spirit has moved Home to our Father. God Bless You Marjory and thank you for being so gloriously you.

She is survived by her children Penelope Amyx, Peter Hermes, Deborah Cotton, Patricia Freeman, Pamela Terrones and Kristin Hermes, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Memorial services will be held 1:00 p.m., December 3, 2011 at WarrenMcElwain Mortuary in Lawrence.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to SPCA or Douglas County Visiting Nurses, Rehabilitation and Hospice Care and may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain Mortuary.

This event expanded into the Jim Hershberger MVP Games featuring world class athletes competing again each other in a 10 sport, one day event.

“We think it’s important to highlight these gifts because we want people to know every gift matters,” McCoy said.

Dale Seuferling, president of KU Endowment, said many smaller donations help out a great deal and come with fewer restrictions than a large gift from a single benefactor.

“We want to include as many people and engage as many people as possible” by highlighting smaller donations, Seuferling said.

“Through a group effort, they can have an impact and will have an impact.”

New committees are meeting across campus, Seuferling said, identifying new opportunities for donors that include scholarships, endowed professorships and capital building projects.

Also, the university featured several photos, stories and press releases related to giving on its main website this month.

McCoy said the effort was university-led. The university’s office of public affairs has incorporated centralized themes around its overall messaging, McCoy said. In November, the university decided to focus on donations and gifts to KU to align with the Thanksgiving holiday. Photos and video were included.

“Our alumni, KU and the public will be seeing more of that as we go forward,” Seuferling said.

Teen rethinking apology letter to Brownback WICHITA — A Kansas teenager who got into hot water last week over a disparaging tweet about Gov. Sam Brownback said she has received so much support from around the country that now she’s leaning toward rejecting her high school principal’s demand that she apologize to the governor in writing.

Since word of her tweet and the reaction by Brownback’s office and her school was reported in the media, people from across the U.S. have reached out to Emma Sullivan — mostly to encourage her to stand her ground, The Wichita Eagle reported.

“I knew it would cause some uproar, but I definitely didn’t think it would get to a national level or that I would have so many people tweeting at me,” she told the newspaper Friday.

Before the incident, Sullivan had 61 followers, but by Friday she had more than 1,400.

U.S. vows probe into Pakistan incident The Obama administration on Saturday pledged a full investigation into a NATO attack that allegedly killed 24 Pakistani troops.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in a joint statement offered their “deepest condolences” for the loss of life in the cross-border incident in Pakistan. Clinton and Panetta also said they “support fully NATO’s intention to investigate immediately.”

Secretary Clinton, Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. John Allen, commander of the NATO-led coalition forces in Afghanistan, each called their Pakistani counterparts as well, the statement said.

Pakistan has blocked vital supply routes for U.S.led troops in Afghanistan and demanded Washington vacate a base used by American drones after coalition aircraft allegedly killed 24 Pakistani troops at two posts along a mountainous frontier that serves as a safe haven for militants.

Blasts kill 15 as U.S. troops pack up A string of explosions hit a Baghdad market and the capital’s western outskirts on Saturday, killing at least 15 people and exposing the challenges still facing Iraqi security forces just over a month before all American troops leave the country.

The bombings mark the second major attack against Iraqi civilians this week and come as American forces are packing up to leave and handing over their remaining security responsibilities to Iraqi forces. Many Iraqis are concerned that insurgents may use the transition period to launch more attacks in a bid to regain their former prominence and destabilize the country.

Iraqi security officials maintain that they are fully prepared for the American withdrawal, which is required under a 2008 security pact between the U.S. and Iraq. About 15,000 U.S. troops remain in the country, down from a one-time high of about 170,000.

U.S. students return after Cairo arrest At least two of three American students arrested during protests in Cairo arrived back in the U.S. late Saturday, three days after an Egyptian court ordered their release.

The young men were arrested on the roof of a university building near Cairo’s iconic Tahrir Square last Sunday after officials accused them of throwing firebombs at security forces fighting with protesters.

Gregory Porter, 19, was greeted by his parents and other relatives Saturday evening when he landed at Philadelphia International Airport. Porter took no questions, but said he was thankful for the help he and the other American students received from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, administrators at the university they were attending, and attorneys in Egypt and the U.S. Luke Gates, 21, arrived in the U.S. late Saturday and was expected back home in Indiana soon, Indiana University spokesman Mark Land said. Gates attends the university, and his parents have declined to talk with the media. Land said he spoke with Gates’ father.

Kansas Equality Coalition seeks repeal of law —————

Advocates argue that statute criminalizes homosexual relationships

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — When Gov. Sam Brownback last year issued his first executive order, which created the Office of the Repealer, he said he wanted to get rid of laws that were unreasonable, unduly burdensome, duplicative, onerous or in conflict.

Such laws, Brownback said, “are detrimental to the economic well-being of Kansas; hinder the growth of liberty and opportunities for Kansans and Kansas businesses; and defy a common-sense approach to governance. … ” The Kansas Equality Coalition, a group that advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, wants to hold

Brownback to his word.

Under Kansas law, homosexual sex is a criminal offense.

But a 2003 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court says that laws that criminalize gay and lesbian relationships violate the equal protection provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

“We believe that the current statute, while ultimately unen-

forceable, is an affront to thousands of law-abiding gay and lesbian Kansans,” said Thomas Witt, chairman of the Kansas Equality Coalition.

For months, state repealer Dennis Taylor, who also serves as secretary of the Kansas Department of Administration, has Please see REPEAL, page 4A

Quirky crafts, adorned art abound at shows

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

The “founding mothers” started it as a venue for swapping handmade goods and showing off artwork that just didn’t quite fit into the established scene.

Now hundreds of mothers, fathers, brothers, cousins — you name it — enjoy its quirky crafts and artwork every year.

It’s the Bizarre Bazaar, started in the late 1980s and now held Thanksgiving weekend at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. Organizer Marsene Feldt said 148 artists signed up to participate this year, the most that ever have. This was the first year the BizBaz, as it’s known, coordinated with Final Fridays for a two-day event. Feldt said 650 attendees had been counted in the first two hours of its Friday night opening and similar, if not bigger, crowds were expected throughout Saturday.

Popular among the vendors, a trend in handmade art called upcycling, or using recycled materials, was on display this year.

Michelle McCormick is one of five Topeka women who go by the moniker “the Craftivists.” Their sassy mix of DIY art and environmental activism started years ago after they began making pendants as part of their “girls’ night.” Now they produce buttons, jewelry from recycled materials and wall hangings from old window frames.

Van Go celebrates youths’ work Arts sales were also thriving at Van Go Mobile Arts Inc., 715 N.J. The arts-based social services group held its annual adornment sale and silent auction Saturday night.

The sale raised funds for the group, which gives high-needs youths ages 14 to 21 access to social workers and art supplies.

The annual sale is also a celebration for the kids who have just completed an eight-week “job training” art program.

Lindsey Griffen, a student at Lawrence High School, said Van Go had helped her to manage stress and depression. She said the sale gave her a feeling of confidence.

“It feels so awesome that a person other than your parents would want your art,” she said.

Cathy Ledeker, art director at Van Go, agreed.

“It’s like the cherry on top of the experience,” she said.

Burket said she tries to make her treasure balls too pretty to unwrap.

Black Friday sales up 7 percent The holiday shopping season got off to a strong start on Black Friday, with retail sales up 7 percent over last year, according to the most recent survey.

Now stores just have to keep buyers coming back without the promise of door-buster savings.

Buyers spent $11.4 billion at retail stores and malls, up nearly $1 billion from last year, according to a Saturday report from ShopperTrak. It was the largest amount ever spent on the day that marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season, and the biggest year-over-year increase since 2007.

Chicago-based ShopperTrak gathers data from 25,000 outlets across the U.S., including individual stores and shopping centers.

The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., broke its Black Friday record for shoppers, thanks to a decision to open at midnight for the first time. About 210,000 visitors came to the mall on Friday, up from 200,000 last year, according to mall spokeswoman Bridget Jewell.

Online shopping was strong as well, with a 24.3 percent increase in online spending on Black Friday, according to IBM, which tracks sales at 500 online retailers.

Study looks at diabetes problem among Native Americans

By Aaron Couch acouch@ljworld.com

When Kansas University journalism professor Teresa Trumbly Lamsam goes to her childhood home in Oklahoma, she takes sacks of groceries with her. She knows she won’t be able to buy the kind of healthy food she wants on the American Indian reservation where she is from.

Health experts say the lack of food stores on reservations is one factor contributing to the soaring Native American diabetes rate. But lack of food options

on reservations is not something you’ll often read about, and that’s something Lamsam wants to change.

She and her research partner, Haskell Indian Nations journalism instructor Rhonda LeValdoGayton, are studying how the media portray diabetes among Native Americans. The hope is to shed light on the forces shaping the conversation on Native American diabetes and offer guidance for journalists on how to cover the issue to promote better health.

The work is personal for both women. Lamsam is disturbed by

research indicating that if nothing changes, diabetes could help wipe out Native Americans in 100 years. LeValdo-Gayton has lost several family members to the disease and has two young children. She is determined to make sure the damaging cycle of diabetes does not touch them.

“I feel like we just really got to step this up,” LeValdo-Gayton said. “I feel like we’re going to lose people that we don’t want to lose.”

Irreplaceable knowledge Nationally, about 16 percent of Native Americans have dia-

betes, more than double the rate found in Caucasians. Native Americans are three times more likely to die from diabetes than the general population, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The disease is also striking more young people. The number of Native Americans ages 15 to 19 with diabetes increased by 68 percent from 1994 to 2004.

“If that doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will,” Lamsam said. “What does that do to the lifespan of the population?”

Repeal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

been gathering input on laws to repeal. He is nearing completion of preparing a report for Brownback.

Neither he nor Brownback is saying yet what laws they think should be repealed, but whichever way the administration goes, the repeal initiative is bound to create fireworks.

Taylor said he has received input on repealing more than 400 laws. Some, he said, deal with controversial social issues such as the sodomy statute and recently approved

legislation like the ban on smoking in indoor, public places.

“What is the intent with those controversial ones?” asked Rep. Carl Holmes, RLiberal, and chairman of the House-Senate Committee on Rules and Regulations.

Taylor said he will make a report to Brownback, and the governor will decide which ones “he wants to carry forward.” Any repeal of a state law would have to be approved by the Legislature first.

The state law dealing with gay sex was essentially nullified by the 2003 Supreme Court decision, and some legislators have argued there is no reason to remove the Kansas

law from the books because the statute isn’t being enforced.

When the court ruled, then-Attorney General Phill Kline issued a statement, saying, “The decision announced by the Supreme Court of the United States today renders Kansas adult homosexual sodomy law unenforceable and unconstitutional. Accordingly, we are providing notice to counties and district attorneys and other law enforcement officials of the nature of the Supreme Court decision and its effect on this little-used Kansas law.”

But Witt said there was a danger in having the law remain.

“This law technically crim-

inalizes our relationships and leaves us open to harassment by unscrupulous authorities who may still make arrests under the provisions of this statute,” he said.

Brownback, a Republican, and the Kansas Equality Coalition have been at odds. Brownback has been an adamant opponent of gay marriage and was criticized by the coalition this summer for attending a prayer rally in Houston that was put on by several groups that oppose homosexuality.

Brownback said he went to pray because the country was in difficult times.

RHONDA LEVALDOGAYTON, LEFT, Haskell instructor, and Teresa Trumbly Lamsam, KU professor, are studying media portrayal of diabetes among Native Americans.

We think about it like managing other chronic diseases,” said Christie Befort, an associate professor of preventive medicine and public health at KU’s School of Medicine.

There is a lack of nutritious food available on many reservations. For example, the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota has just one grocery store for a population of 8,000 spread over 3,500 square miles.

“The grocery store is very far away,” LeValdo-Gayton said. “It’s OK, but if you look at the selection of vegetables or fruit, it’s very minimal.”

Ultimately, Lamsam would like to see more success stories in tribal newspapers.

There have been healthy living programs on reservations, and coverage of those types of things could make a difference.

“We’re talking about a collective culture, not an individualistic culture,” Lamsam said.

If people on a reservation see their friends and neighbors are living more healthy, it would probably make it easier for them to live healthy lives as well.

“You don’t have to do it all at once. Just change one bad habit, one at time,” LeValdo-Gayton said. “Then you slowly understand how it can affect you.”

Diabetes CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Locally, there are at least three people under 40 on dialysis for diabetes, according to Dr. Dee Ann A. Deroin, a family physician in Lawrence.

“It stems from our change in lifestyle, the unavailability in healthy food and the decrease in healthy activity,” Deroin said.

For those with diabetes, the disease can mean blindness, amputated limbs, heart disease and kidney failure.

In Native American communities, diabetes is taking elders far too young, forcing adults in their 20s and 30s to become the keepers of the culture.

“We shouldn’t be at this point. We should be having them around us a lot longer to teach that next generation,” LeValdo-Gayton said.

She has lost three uncles and worries about what their absence means for her children’s cultural education.

“I am just floored by everything I still have to learn, and I have to seek it from somebody else now,” LeValdo-Gayton said. “I don’t want to see our next generation of people having to deal with death like this.”

disease if the public views the victims of the disease not at fault for contracting it.

Sixty years ago, smoking was seen as an individual’s choice. If you smoked, that was your business, and if smoking destroyed your body, that was your business, too.

But the conversation about smoking changed in the 1960s, when public health officials and the media began to emphasize nicotine’s powers to addict and smoking’s power to destroy.

All of the sudden, perhaps smokers weren’t completely to blame. Major public policy changes followed, from surgeon general’s warnings to lawsuits draining hundreds of millions of dollars from the tobacco industry.

That model of framing a health issue — everything Who you blame matters from HIV to obesity — as not Studies have shown the just being the responsibility federal government is more of the individual has been likely to invest in fighting a pushed by public health of-

ficials. It could be a way to combat diabetes.

“Mainstream news does influence public opinion and public policy in this country,” Lamsam said. “How they’re telling the story of diabetes makes a difference to what happens in D.C.” In their pilot study completed this summer, Lamsam and LeValdo-Gayton found that during the past 14 years, news articles have framed Native Americans as being responsible for contracting diabetes because of bad eating habits or sedentary lifestyles.

Most articles did not look at the larger issues that might contribute to diabetes.

“We find predominately that the media frame the story to place responsibility for having diabetes on the individual,” Lamsam said.

But there are no magic words to make a person live healthier or lose weight.

“Weight loss requires fairly intensive management.

TIME IS MONEY Whether buying or selling a home, the Offer To Purchase is the starting point for making the sale go through.

If the seller does not accept the offer outright, they may make a counter-offer, which the buyers may likewise accept or counter again.

instead of $1. Similarly, buyers must also be realistic about the possible costs of “over negotiating” in today’s rapidly changing economic atmosphere.

If you balk at the sellers’ counter-offer now, and decide to walk away and begin your home search over again, you could be facing higher interest rates and/or rising home prices. Today, time literally is money, and the longer you postpone your purchase, the more it will cost you.

In the interest of speed and success, it’s best to keep counter-offers to a minimum. If you are trying to sell with urgency (and who isn’t), weigh the buyers’ offer against your need to move quickly. Perhaps the value of the concession is quite small against the Before making (or accepting) an offer, profit you’ll see upon a sale. discuss the offer and counter-offer process with your representative, so If you are asking $200,000 and receive that you know what to expect and can an offer of $196,000, that’s equivalent to be more prepared to see the deal to a just 2% less, which is like offering $.98 successful close.

Loan assistance plan picks up steam TOPEKA (AP) — Interest continues to grow in a new state program aimed at increasing economic activity in rural Kansas counties and reversing population declines.

The Department of Commerce says 40 out of 50 eligible counties have agreed to participate in a student loan forgiveness program. Approved applicants who have graduated from accredited universities and technical colleges can receive up to $3,000 a year for five years in loan assistance.

The program is part of a rural opportunity zone initiative developed by Gov. Sam Brownback and his administration. Participating counties have experienced population declines of as much as 10 percent the past decade.

New residents moving to the counties from outside Kansas are also eligible to apply for an exemption from the state’s income tax for five years.

students who have a particular interest or gifts in areas of science and mathematics,” said Carder, who acknowledged having previously sought challenges in Eudora outside the classroom, mostly through leadership in student organizations and playing sports. “With my career goals, this was the best choice for me.”

‘Light-years ahead’ Rather than boosting her GPA even further above 4.0 in Eudora, the prospective pediatric neurologist has opted for amassing dual credits at Fort Hays. She is among 46 Kansans receiving statefinanced tuition, books, fees and research-related expenses on campus, with the academy paying its bills using base state aid per pupil redirected from home school districts plus another $500,000 or so allocated by the Kansas Legislature.

The public investment leaves students to pay room and board — they all reside in Custer Hall, upstairs from the university’s police department and the academy’s administrative offices — as the high schoolers live and study and dream as fullfledged college students.

“We tell the kids when they come to us: ‘The sky’s the limit. You can advance as far as you can advance,’” said Ron Keller, the academy’s director. “They can move lightyears ahead.”

Keller proudly notes that a student from St. John High School left the academy last year with three patents pending related to an artificial tree for carbon sequestration. Another student from Sabetha High School is working on extruded grain products for shipment to Third World countries, including some items in containers that not only rehydrate the food upon arrival but also biodegrade once emptied.

“If people would sit around

LAWRENCE and listen to these kids and what they want to do in the future, you’d realize what a fantastic opportunity this is for some of our higher-achieving kids who want to go way beyond what they may be able to do in their current situations,” Keller said. “We’re going to see great things from these kids. They want to make a difference, and they want to get out there and do things that are positive things for people within the state and the state itself.

“These are kids that are going to make a difference.”

Heavy course load Carder doesn’t shy away from such expectations — she intends to earn medical and Spanish degrees, then conduct mission work in South America — and is pushing herself to meet them.

Her 19-hour schedule for this semester includes Calculus 2, calculus-based physics, biology and two labs. She also is taking Biochemical Research, a 600-level course in which she’s researching two high-tech topics: copper toxicity and chemical causes of muscular sclerosis in humans.

She’ll “graduate” from the academy program with at least 68 hours of college study to her credit. That ceremony will be at Fort Hays on May 5, two weeks before she and her Eudora High classmates will be scheduled to pick up their diplomas back home.

The diploma isn’t something she’s taking for granted, either.

“That’s been one of my recent struggles, or problems,” Carder conceded, with only a hint of a chuckle. “I’m supposed to take a technical education course — Home Ec. or something — to finish off my high school requirements.

But I’m like, ‘Can’t I just use one of my four extra science classes for that?’”

Academy leaders, district officials, school board members and others likely will find a way to make sure Carder graduates on time, with all the

find the basic programming structure that allowed the iPhone to interact with the computer from another user in the small community of people interested in this kind of music, Haaheim said.

But most of the software necessary for the performance he had to create himself. Charney has found himself on the cutting edge of the field, his professor said.

“It’s not like something that’s commercially available like Garage Band,” Haaheim said. “This goes way beyond that.”

Charney said he’s performed the piece with the iPhone in an Apple Store in Chicago, and it’s attracted more attention than he thought. As for his future,

he’s open to a number of different pathways.

“If I can make a living making music, I’ll be happy,” he said.

That may be easier today than it was in years past, Haaheim said. In addition to opportunities in academia and the film industry, today’s video game developers are paying for original music, too.

“They put some real dollars into the production of the music and generally put out some high-quality stuff,” he said.

And from a professor’s standpoint, working with a motivated and intelligent student like Charney isn’t an opportunity that comes along that often.

“You get a student like this once every 10 years,” Haaheim said. “He’s a delight.”

rights and responsibilities her diploma will confer.

Growing the program Meanwhile, another 150 or so students statewide and elsewhere — the academy includes a few international students who cover all of their own tuition and expenses — will be busy reviewing academy requirements and mulling whether to apply by the Feb. 1 deadline to enter the 2012-13 class.

“Obviously, the program can be very beneficial for the right students,” said Paul Walrod, a counselor at Eudora High.

And academy officials are busy making their case to secure more financing from the Kansas Legislature. Officials want to accept more students, and that would mean closing a widening gap between declines in per-pupil funding and increases in tuition costs.

“We’re looking to grow the program,” said Ann Noble, the academy’s financial director.

Carder, of course, will be done by the time the next class enrolls. By then she plans to be studying pre-med and Spanish at a state school, or possibly Stanford University, and getting on with a life she’s already enjoying a head start on.

She would encourage others to follow the path that she, fellow Kansans and a handful of international students, who pay all of their own tuition and expenses, have chosen.

“It’s an experience that makes you grow up a lot,” said Carder, who has discovered the convenience of Easy Mac, the microwavable macaroni and cheese she eats most every night. “You have a lot of newfound responsibility on your shoulders. …

“The program’s not for everyone, but if you have the right motivations … it’s great.”

Trail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

add some fencing that would make it difficult for people to take shelter in the deep crevices of the structure.

“To my sensibilities, it makes sense to bring people and community life to that area to discourage some of the more nefarious activities that happen there,” Myers said.

Facing challenges Myers has been presenting the plan to various city officials, including the Bicycle Advisory Commission and city engineers. City engineers and planners have stopped short of endorsing the idea, but they’ve said the idea has some appeal.

“It would be really nice if we could figure out a way to make it work,” said Todd Girdler, the city’s senior transportation planner.

But the project would have some significant engineering challenges, said Chuck Soules, the city’s director of public works. Because of the steep terrain near City Hall, a retaining wall would have to be built to accommodate a trail. The proximity to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks, which run behind City Hall, also could be a problem.

“Their goal is not to have pedestrians near their train tracks,” Soules said. “I think there would be some concerns we would have to overcome there.”

Then, there is funding.

Neither Myers nor city officials have developed a cost estimate for the project. Both parties said grant funding likely would have to play a significant role in making the project a reality. Soules said there are some grant projects that fund pedestrian and bicycle projects, but he said the city would have to study the project to determine whether it should be a higher priority than other projects, such as filling in gaps in the city’s existing sidewalk system.

‘A real benefit’ Myers, though, said he intends to keep working on building support. He said he would like the trail to be the first phase of a larger project that would create a new trail through east Lawrence, connecting with the existing Burroughs Creek Trail near Hobbs Park.

That project could travel along property east of the former Riverfront Mall and north of the Santa Fe Depot at Seventh and New Jersey streets. The area has a conservation easement on it that dates back to the controversial construction of the mall. The easement strictly prohibits development of the property, including a trail. But Myers said the conservation easement has been a detriment to the property by making it so isolated that problems with homeless encampments have emerged.

“I’ve talked to people who even fought the mall who don’t think that conservation easement has worked out well,” Myers said. “We don’t want it developed, but we don’t want what we have now, which is basically a place to get in trouble.”

Myers, though, said he’s taking a long-term approach to the idea.

“I would love to see the whole thing happen within 10 years,” Myers said. “I don’t know how much the taxpayer is willing to pay or how much grant money there is. But I think it could be a real benefit. You really notice when a city takes advantage of its riverfront, and we haven’t done that very well.”

Donna English is also a crafty recycler. She and her sister make and sell bags from interior decorating fabric and dry-food bags that are due to be thrown away.

She said they started about four years ago when she realized she ought to somehow reuse all the rice bags going through her sister’s restaurant. Now she gets supplies from businesses across Kansas City — enough to make hundreds of bags every year.

“You’d be surprised how much there is out there for free or a really reduced price if you just ask,” she said. “They don’t look at it as being pretty, but I can take it and make it into something pretty.”

English said that her aesthetic came from growing up “in the generation that first cared about the environment” and that reusing and repurposing fabric was a trend in crafting but an ageold practice.

EDITORIALS

Creative thinking Many details remain to be worked out, but it’s nice to see developers thinking creatively in a plan that would establish a new retail and entertainment center north of the Kansas River.

I

t’s great to see a local group creatively exploring ways to develop property at the north end of the downtown Kansas River bridge. The details of the plan will be the focus of much discussion and perhaps a number of changes as they are fleshed out, but the group deserves credit for having a creative vision of how the property can be redeveloped into an attractive focal point north of the river.

The group first started looking at the possibility of a commercial development between Johnny’s Tavern and the river in 2008, but there had been little activity on the idea until developers filed plans at City Hall last week for a project that would include about 200,000 square feet of space for shops, restaurants, apartments, condominiums and perhaps a hotel or movie theater.

One of the main attractions for the development is the same thing that attracted early settlers to Lawrence: the Kansas River. The “concept plan” for the development includes a 1,800-foot long boardwalk running alongside the existing Kansas River levee. Multistory buildings would rise up beside the boardwalk to give visitors a view of the river as they dine or shop. Office and residential structures also would take advantage of the riverfront view.

As with any large, creative project, the North Lawrence development likely will face a number of obstacles. First is a zoning request that would designate the area as part of Lawrence’s downtown, which would allow for taller buildings, fewer setback requirements and different parking regulations.

Next, will be the economy. The developers don’t currently have any commitments from potential tenants, and, until the economy turns around, it will be hard to attract investors willing to locate stores or a hotel or movie theater at the site.

The developers aren’t thinking small.

They say the site would accommodate a 66,000-square-foot hotel, a 50,000-square-foot movie theater or a 27,000-square-foot retail tenant —a space big enough to attract a chain retailer, such as Dick’s Sporting Goods. Attracting a retail chain that usually locates in a more suburban location close to other chain stores seems like a stretch, but, again, there’s nothing wrong with thinking outside the box.

It’s also unlikely this project could be pursued, without a certain amount of dissent from local sources. Retailers in the Downtown Lawrence might balk at extending their footprint over the bridge. North Lawrence residents may have concerns about the impact of this project on nearby businesses and residents, including those living in a trailer park that would be eliminated in the plan.

However, there are many potential positives to this plan. If it is successful, it could create a signature retail and entertainment district on the north side of the river that could attract many local residents and visitors to the community.

The Kansas River has been a focal point for Lawrence since the city’s founding, and it’s nice to see some creative thinkers looking to the river as a focus of new development.

Postal service should be privatized WASHINGTON — The Jacksonian-era movement to keep the Sabbath pure deplored Sunday mail delivery. Said one evangelical: “We have always viewed it as a national evil of great magnitude, and one which calls for national repentance and reformation, that the mails are carried, and the post offices kept open, on that holy day in every part of our country.”

Others, however, including Saturday-Sabbath keepers, said ending Sunday mail deliveries would amount to the government deciding what day is holy and therefore would violate the separation of church and state.

And Richard M. Johnson, the chairman of the congressional committee with jurisdiction, warned of calamity: “The mail is the chief means by which intellectual light irradiates to the extremes of the republic. Stop it one day in seven, and you retard one-seventh of the advancement of our country.”

Eventually the devout won, with help from organized labor, which considered this an issue of workers’ rights. Sunday delivery ended in 1912, partly because some clergy considered it a desecration of the Sabbath, and partly because people who the clergy thought should be in the pews on Sundays were instead socializing at post offices.

Two post offices still open for Sunday delivery are in Angwin, Calif., and Collegedale, Tenn., where many people observe the Sabbath on Saturday.

Surely the government could cede this function to the private sector, which probably could have a satisfactory substitute system functioning quicker than you can say ‘FedEx,’ ‘UPS’ and ‘Walmart.’”

Today, the U.S. Postal Service, whose financial condition resembles that of the federal government of which the USPS is another ailing appendage, is urging cancellation of Saturday deliveries, perhaps en route to three-days-a-week delivery.

The USPS lost $5.1 billion in the latest fiscal year — after serious cost-cutting. Total 2012 losses may exceed $14 billion, a sum larger than the budgets of 35 states.

The fact that delivering the mail is one of the very few things the federal government does that the Constitution specifically authorizes (Article I, Section 8: “The Congress shall have power to ... establish post

offices and post roads”) does not mean it must do it. Surely the government could cede this function to the private sector, which probably could have a satisfactory substitute system functioning quicker than you can say “FedEx,” “UPS” and “Walmart.”

The first two are good at delivering things; the third, supplemented by other ubiquitous retailers, could house post offices.

All three are for-profit enterprises, so they have an incentive to practice bourgeois civility — to be helpful, even polite. These attributes are not always found at post offices.

Unfortunately, privatization collides with a belief sometimes deemed reactionary but nowadays characteristic of progressives. The belief is: In government, whatever is should forever be. So, efforts to prop up and prod along the postal service, which is older than the nation (it was established by the Second Continental Congress in 1775), include the sweet suggestion of Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. Weary of “gibberish spelling” in text messages from her children, McCaskill’s cri de coeur is: “Gaps in history were filled in with letters ... everything from our Founding Fathers to soldiers in the field. ... I don’t think we should give up on the notion that we’re going to sit down and write a letter.”

But McCaskill’s proposal — an advertising campaign to revive the epistolary culture — is

no match for the main culprit responsible for the USPS’ woes: progress. This includes email (even electronic Christmas and other greeting cards are gaining popularity), the digital delivery of movies (as by Netflix, one of the USPS’ biggest customers, but perhaps not for long) and those pesky private-sector delivery companies.

The USPS may shed as much as a third of its 653,000 employees — the nation’s second-largest civilian workforce (second to Wal-Mart). This would require Congress to overturn no-layoff provisions in labor contracts, which should make conservatives queasy. Labor costs are 80 percent of the USPS’ costs (53 percent of UPS’, 32 percent of FedEx’s), in part because it has negotiated very friendly union contracts. The postal service did that because it is free from the tiresome need to make a profit and its competition is limited by law, which forbids anyone else to deliver a letter that is not “urgent.”

Mail volume has declined 20 percent in five years, and the decline probably will accelerate, in spite of the odd USPS ads seeking customers by saying letters “don’t get lost in thin air,” and “a refrigerator has never been hacked. An online virus has never attacked a corkboard.” Surely privatization beats depending on the USPS for delivering the intellectual light that irradiates the republic.

Thanks to citizens with cameras A menacing crowd of protesters had encircled police and they had no choice but to defend themselves with pepper spray. Or at least, that is the story campus cops at UC Davis initially told.

Video of the Nov. 18 incident tells a different story. It shows a group of Occupy Davis student protesters sitting peacefully with arms interlocked while a police officer walks back and forth, dousing them at close range with liberal amounts of pepper spray.

There is an awful contemptuousness in his bearing. He could be spraying weeds in his garden or roaches in his kitchen.

The victims of this assault have described the pain in searing terms. They speak of burning skin and vomiting, of the inability to breathe, of feeling as if acid had been poured into their faces.

Two cops involved with this atrocity and the chief of police have been suspended — with pay.

One hopes this is preparatory to a summary dismissal.

As we grapple with this vandalism of the First Amendment, we should ask ourselves this: What if there had been no cameras on hand? What if we had only the word of the protesters and their sympathizers that this happened versus the word of authority figures that it did not?

Is it so hard to imagine the students’ claims being dismissed, the media attention being a fraction of what it is, the public’s outrage falling along predictable ideological lines and these cops getting a walk?

If you are not interfering with police or otherwise breaking a law, what legal or moral pretext do they have to stop you from filming them?”

That’s worth keeping in mind as legislators and law officers around the country move to criminalize the act of videotaping police in the performance of their duties. As in Emily Good, the Rochester, N.Y., woman who was arrested in May for videotaping a traffic stop from her own front yard. As in Narces Benoit, who says Miami Beach police grabbed his hair, handcuffed him and stomped his cellphone (which police deny) after he recorded an officer-involved shooting in June.

As in states that have written new laws or used existing wiretapping statutes to support this blatant usurpation of an American liberty.

This is not, as the officer who arrested Good piously claimed for the benefit of her video and any court that might later review

it, about police safety. It is, rather, about the right of civilian oversight. Police after all, are prone to the same instinct to close ranks and cover nether regions as anyone else. Except, they have guns, and powers of arrest.

That should give us pause, especially in light of the blatant mendacity of the UC Davis cops.

It should stand as a cautionary tale to those folks who are willing to accord police all benefit of every doubt. One also hopes those states or towns that have enacted or are contemplating statutes to prohibit people from videotaping on-duty police will now rethink that awful idea.

If you are not interfering with police or otherwise breaking a law, what legal or moral pretext do they have to stop you from filming them? Indeed, those who are doing their work honorably — in other words, the majority — should welcome that, as it protects them from spurious claims of brutality, just as it protects citizens when the brutality is real.

That is the moral of this story and the reason we should be thankful cameras recorded what happened at UC Davis that day.

What police did to those students was an absolute crime. Getting away with it would have been one, too.

To the editor: Last year, Congress ordered the Government Accountability Office to audit the Federal Reserve. The final GAO report released last summer revealed that between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve created $16 trillion (not billion, trillion!) in virtual money and secretly lent it to American and European banks to prop up their reserves.

These banks have paid back only a small portion of the zero-interest loans. The Federal Reserve is essentially a private institution controlled by private banks.

Six of the nine governors of the Federal Reserve of New York are elected by private banks. Why are private banks allowed to make public policy concerning our economy?

OLD HOME TOWN

100

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 28, 1911: YEARS “This is a cold, AGO disagreeable day.

IN 1911 There is probably a good deal of suffering. Horses will especially suffer today. It is time to be careful of horses and use every precaution to see that they are sharp shod and not allowed to stand hitched unblanketed.... Over the city there are families that are in need. These should be looked after by neighbors. We are all one big neighborhood in Lawrence.”

“Please father or mother by having their favorite books, which have become badly worn, rebound in attractive manner at the Journal-World office. The office also does stamping in gold upon leather, makes scrap books, etc.”

Stuffed animal may have saved lives KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — A Kansas City, Kan., couple say a stuffed animal possibly saved their lives after a rock thrown from an Interstate overpass crashed through their windshield.

Brian and Karen Smith and their teenage children were coming home from a Thanksgiving celebration in Weston, Mo., when a rock came through the windshield near an overpass on Interstate 635.

WDAF-TV reports Brian Smith was in the passenger seat when the rock came through and hit a stuffed dog on the dashboard, instead of him.

Karen Smith says everyone in the SUV was covered in glass when she pulled over to the side and called 911.

A firefighter who responded to the scene said he thought he was going to find someone dead because of the size of the hole in the windshield.

SO LONG TIGERS 24, JAYHAWKS 10

KANSAS’ BRADLEY MCDOUGALD, LEFT, CONSOLES STEVEN JOHNSON after the Jayhawks’ season-ending 24-10 loss to Missouri on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas gives MU going-away gift

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — If Saturday’s 24-10 loss to Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium was Turner Gill’s final game in charge of the Kansas University football program, the second-year head coach did not stray far from what people have come to expect.

All of the things that plagued the Jayhawks during Gill’s long and lean two seasons in Lawrence hurt the Jayhawks against the Tigers on Saturday.

Turnovers? Check.

Bad penalties? Check.

Confusion and chaos? Check.

KU’s next move must be bold one

In short, even though the 120th — and possibly last — edition of the Border War battle began with Kansas taking a 10-0 lead, it ended in the same fashion that so many losses before it had.

“It’s disappointing and frustrating,” said Gill, who fell to 5-19 overall at Kansas, 1-16 in Big 12 play. “When an opportunity presents itself, you cannot allow those type of mistakes, whether it’s fourth-and-one, whether it’s third-and-six or whatever it is.”

Early on, it was the Tigers who made the mistakes. Mizzou quarterback James Franklin ALL EYES WERE ON KANSAS COACH TURNER GILL as he left the field following KU’s loss to Please see KANSAS, page 4B Mizzou.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Two years ago, after Mark Mangino had just coached his final game for Kansas University with a loss to Missouri and a seven-game losing streak, he spoke into a microphone on the table in front of him. His last words after eight years on the job: “I will tell you that I may be one of the more pleasant people to deal with in college football. Trust me.”

Turner Gill sat in the same seat Saturday in Arrowhead Stadium after his team battled the same opponent and extended its losing streak to nine games. His final words, like his two-year reign, weren’t as interesting as Mangino’s.

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

“I think we can be competitive next year,” Gill said after Saturday’s fall-from-ahead 24-10 loss to Missouri. “I think we have some players in here.

We’ve got to put together good things and continue to recruit, Please see KEEGAN, page 5B

Eudora falls short in title game ————

Fumble-return TD sparks Rose Hill to 21-0 victory in championship

By Paul K. Mogenson Special to the Journal-World

SALINA — In a game of field position and surviving the elements, Tyler Knight had the answer.

Knight grabbed a fumble out of the air and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown to give Rose Hill High momentum, and the Rockets went on to win their first football state championship — a 21-0 victory over Eudora in the Class 4A game Saturday at Salina Stadium.

Knight’s big play gave Rose Hill a 13-0 lead with 7:57 left in the third quarter and broke open a defensive struggle.

Rose Hill (13-1) finished the season on a 13-game winning streak. The Rockets vanquished four perennial 4A powers — Holton, Andale, Ulysses and Topeka Hayden — in reaching their second title game.

Eudora (12-2) was playing in its first state championship game.

“You feel like you’ve got a shot at 7-0,” Eudora coach Gregg Webb said, “and then you fumble it right to them, and they run it in. That just took the heart right out of us.”

Eudora had the ball firstand-10 at the Rose Hill 32-yard line, and Chris Pyle got the call to his right. In the middle

of a scrum at the line of scrimmage, the ball popped in the air to Knight, who was converging on the play from his linebacker position.

“I was just going where everyone else was going,” Knight said. “I saw the ball in the air and took it and ran.”

Rose Hill’s defense limited Eudora to 170 total yards on 53 plays, including 103 yards rushing on 43 attempts.

Rose Hill coach Greg Slade credited defensive coordinator Ray Boese.

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo “He saw some things he thought we could do, and the EUDORA HIGH’S AUSTIN SEARIGHT (1), SURROUNDED by his dejected Cardinal teammates, holds the consolation trophy. EHS fell to Rose Hill, 21-0, in the Class 4A state Please see EUDORA, page 3B championship game Saturday in Salina.

Christmas miracle: the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With a Christmas Day tripleheader on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wish list and a tentative labor agreement in place, NBA owners and union officials went back to work Saturday, relaying details of the deal with hopes of cementing it quickly.

After a 149-day lockout that ultimately will cost the league approximately a half-billion dollars in losses, a marathon bargaining session produced a handshake agreement earlier in the day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; actually, just a few hours before daybreak.

Commissioner David Stern still must sell his owners on an agreement that could change the way they do business. And the players, looking beat and beaten, face a tougher healing process in approving a pact that significantly limits their earnings.

But considering everything owners sought when these negotiations opened with a contentious meeting at the All-Star break in February 2010, perhaps they will feel relieved they got as much as they did.

Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association executives Derek Fisher and Maurice Evans hardly looked enthused about the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

We are excited for the fans. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to start playing basketball for the players and for everybody involved.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; San Antonio Spurs owner Peter Holt agreement as they sat next to executive director Billy Hunter on the same side of a conference table with Stern, Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver and Spurs owner Peter Holt, the chairman of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor relations committee.

But at least they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sitting in a courtroom, where they appeared headed less than two weeks earlier.

Just 12 days after talks broke down, Stern and Hunter appeared together after 3 a.m. Saturday to announce the 10-year deal, with either side able to opt out after the sixth year. It leaves the NBA with its second shortened season (the first was the 50-game 1998-99 season), with the hope of getting in 66 games instead of a full 82game schedule.

Stern said he expects the labor committee to endorse the

deal and recommend it to the full board for approval.

The playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side has revealed little of its feelings about the deal, noting the pending antitrust litigation in its desire to keep details quiet. But players always preferred to be on the court, rather than in it, and now they finally have the chance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; starting Christmas Day. For the season openers, it would be Boston at New York, Miami at Dallas and Chicago at the Lakers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sorry, little guys, the big markets still rule Christmas.

Now, the regular season would end one week later and push back NBA finals a week, potentially setting up a Game 7 on June 28, 2012.

The deal also calls for no hard salary cap, no rollbacks of existing salaries and contracts can still be fully guaranteed. Owners had called for all of that, seeking a route to profitability after saying they lost $300 million last season, and believing they would create parity that had been missing.

But playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual raises were trimmed from 10.5 percent for those re-signing with their own teams and 8 percent for those leaving to 7.5 percent and 4.5 per-

cent respectively. Rules implemented to curb spending by teams over the luxury tax will limit some of their options in free agency.

Owners relented slightly on their previous insistence that players receive no more than 50 percent of basketball-related income after they were guaranteed 57 percent in the old CBA. The target is still a 50-50 split, but with a band from 49 percent to 51 percent that gives the players a better chance of reaching the highest limit than previously proposed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate what Billy and Derek and the players have compromised on because it will allow us, as a small market, to be competitive and create more parity across all 30 teams,â&#x20AC;? Holt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are really excited. We are excited for the fans. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to start playing basketball for the players and for everybody involved.â&#x20AC;?

Once the pact is approved, it would pave the way for training camps and free agency to open simultaneously Dec. 9, setting off a chaotic flurry of activity that could leave coaches running practices with different players arriving each day.

Federer reaches 100th career final

PITTSBURGH STEELERS QUARTERBACK BEN ROETHLISBERGER PASSES against the Cincinnati Bengals in the first half on Nov. 13 in Cincinnati.

Big Ben, Steelers turn focus to Chiefs KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ben Roethlisberger doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember a whole lot about the last time the Pittsburgh Steelers played the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quarterback sustained a concussion when his head banged into the knee of Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson as he leaned headfirst during a running play in overtime. He came back to play some of his best games of the 2009 season after- SUNDAY ward, twice NIGHT throwing for three FOOTBALL touchdowns without an What: Kansas City interception Chiefs (4-6) vs. and leading Pittsburgh SteelP i t t s b u r g h ers (7-3) to a second- When: 7:30 p.m. place finish today in the AFC Where: Arrowhead North.

Stadium, Kansas It cer- City, Mo. tainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time Line: Steelers by Big Ben was 10.5 banged up.

There have been numerous concussions, several knee injuries, and a fractured thumb sustained a few weeks ago against Cincinnati. Roethlisberger plans to play tonight against Kansas City, even though he admitted itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be painful, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreadful news to the Chiefs.

Pittsburgh had last week off, giving Roethlisberger time to heal. But the thumb still bothered him in practice this week, and he worked mainly from the shotgun.

It would take a lot more than a banged up thumb to keep Roethlisberger out this week. The Steelers (7-3) are a half-game behind Baltimore (8-3) in the tough AFC North, with Cincinnati just a game back, heading into this week.

They have a good opportunity to pick up a win on the road against the Chiefs (4-6), who have lost three straight and been ravaged by injuries all season, including an injury that knocked out quarterback Matt Cassel for the season.

Casselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s replacement, journeyman Tyler Palko appeared comfortable despite throwing three interceptions in a 34-3 loss last week at New England, which earned him another start today. After that is anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guess.

The Chiefs picked up Kyle Orton off waivers from the Broncos on Wednesday, but he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to Kansas City until Friday. That meant there was virtually no chance he could get up to speed in time to play today.

In the meantime, Palko is preparing to make the second start of his professional career. Playing the Steelers is especially meaningful for Palko because he grew up watching the Steelers, and even played at Heinz Field while he was leading the University of Pittsburgh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fired up,â&#x20AC;? Palko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fun growing up in Pittsburgh, seeing the Steelers, the black and gold, understanding the tradition. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to it.â&#x20AC;?

LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Every time Roger Federer steps onto the court, another milestone seems to be within grasp.

He seized another one Saturday, reaching his 100th career final by beating David Ferrer 7-5, 6-3 in the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Finals. Federer could add a few more today. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in position to win his 70th title overall and a record sixth at the season-ending tournament for the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top eight players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously a special occasion for me,â&#x20AC;? said Federer, who will play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the final.

Federer Tsonga beat Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 6-3, 7-5 in the late match, putting the sixthseeded Frenchman into the final of this event for the first time, in only his second appearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roger is the best player for the moment indoors,â&#x20AC;? Tsonga said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be really special here, for my first final here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be an amazing atmosphere on court, and I like that. ... I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last match (of the year) so I will give it everything.â&#x20AC;?

The victory over Ferrer sent Federer past Andy Murray to No. 3 in

the year-end rankings, trailing No. 1 Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.

Djokovic and Nadal were eliminated after losing two of their round-robin matches this week, both saying their minds and bodies werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t up for top-level tennis following another grueling season.

Murray pulled out injured following his opening loss to Ferrer on Monday.

Federer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who holds a record 16 Grand Slam titles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is tied with Ivan Lendl and Pete Sampras with five victories at the ATP Finals, formerly known as the Masters Cup. A win Sunday would also tie Lendlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record of 39 match victories in the event.

Federer became the fifth player to reach 100 finals in the open era, joining Jimmy Connors (163), Lendl (146), John McEnroe (108) and Guillermo Vilas (104).

KU women ‘flat’ in win

THE DEALS ARE ON

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

The scoreboard might have painted another picture, but Kansas University women’s basketball players and coaches thought the Jayhawks came out flat Saturday in their second game at the Basketball Travelers Classic.

KU won, 71-50, in its second of three straight days of home games at Allen Fieldhouse, but coach Bonnie Henrickson said the Jayhawks didn’t come close to resembling the team that beat Lamar by 50 points the night before.

“We were just flat — really, really flat — and that was disappointing for as good as we were (Friday) night,” the coach said.

Although Kansas (5-0) led by 10 at halftime and steadily extended its advantage over the Jaguars (3-3) in the opening minutes after the break, Henrickson said she never felt comfortable enough to take starting junior guard Angel Goodrich out of the game.

The 5-foot-4 floor leader, in fact, played 35 minutes and didn’t leave to take a rest on the bench until there was 13:21 left in the game and the Jayhawks held a 51-31 lead.

“We’d be in big trouble quite a few nights if it weren’t for her,” the eighth-year KU coach said of Goodrich, who scored 17 points and dished out 10 assists. “She’s our catalyst. She’s our engine. She’s our motor. She’s our glue.”

According to Henrickson, Goodrich, a captain from Tahlequah, Okla., plays with energy and speed on both ends of the floor.

“We’ve got to get (other Jayhawks) to play at her pace right now and her tempo,” Henrickson said.

One KU player in particular who drew the coach’s ire was junior guard Monica Engelman, a captain. She came in averaging 10.5 points a game, but didn’t even get a shot up until missing a potential putback after an offensive rebound with 6:00 left. She finished 0-for-2 from the floor with no points, six rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes.

“She had no sense of urgency,” Henrickson said. “Worse defensively than offensively.

That’s why she wasn’t on the floor a whole lot.”

LAWRENCEDEALS

STARTS GREAT GIFTMONDAY! IDEAS

There was at least one area where the coach was satisfied, though. Kansas outrebounded IUPUI 51-30, and although the Jags missed 41 shots, they only secured eight offensive rebounds and had just one second-chance point.

“In a game where we couldn’t pull away,” Henrickson said, “if they’d been offensive rebounding and putting back, we’d have been in trouble.”

Senior forward Aishah Sutherland led KU with 12 boards, grabbing eight on the defensive end. Her teammate, junior forward Carolyn Davis, said the Jayhawks needed plays like that to find some semblance of momentum.

“Bonnie always talks about in the men’s game the dunk is the big momentum (play) for them, and for the women it’s an offensive-rebound putback,” Davis said.

A 6-3 captain still recovering from a stress fracture in her right foot, Davis scored a game-high 21 points on 8-for12 shooting.

At 1:30 this afternoon, Kansas will play its final game of the Basketball Travelers Classic against Florida Atlantic (3-3), which lost, 66-61, to Lamar on Saturday.

KU volleyball downs Baylor

Eudora kids did it well,” Slade said.

“Our kids played well on defense today. We knew it was going to be a great defensive battle today.

“It was a state championship game. You’ve got to take advantage of what you can get (turnovers).”

Eudora lost the ball on downs on each of its last three possessions — the last at the Rose Hill one as the Rockets preserved the shutout.

Rose Hill scored its last touchdown after Eudora gave the ball up on downs at midfield following Knights’ play.

Hunter Lewis, who finished with 63 yards rushing, scooted 19 yards for the score with 1:33 left in the third quarter.

A strong northwest wind was a big factor all day.

“The opening flip of the coin was a huge, huge thing,” Webb said.

Eudora had a chance at a big play on its first possession going into the wind when fullback Gabe Cleveland broke up the middle for a nine-yard gain, only to be tripped by the last man between him and the goal at the 42. Cleveland fumbled on the next play, and Knight recovered at the Eudora 29.

Two plays later, Derrick Decker threw a perfect strike to Caleb Braddy in the end

EUDORA COACH GREGG WEBB talks to the Cardinals during their 21-0 loss to Rose Hill on Saturday in Salina. zone. Knight’s kick gave the Rockets a 7-0 lead, and it stayed that way until Knight’s fumble return.

Decker, a senior quarterback, was the offensive star for Rose Hill. He ran for 95 yards on 17 carries and had 36 yards passing on two completions. The Rockets had 225 total yards.

Cleveland, a junior running back, led Eudora’s effort with 46 yards rushing on 16 carries.

Derek Webb was 6-of-10 passing for 67 yards for EHS. Rose Hill’s defense kept Eudora off balance with a blitz package.

“We did a terrible job of picking (the blitz) up,” Webb said. “We knew that they did that some but not to that extent and I thought we would have handled a little better.”

Behind a record-setting performance by senior Allison Mayfield, Kansas University volleyball defeated Baylor, 24-26, 25-23, 25-18, 25-9 on Saturday at Horejsi Center.

In her last match at Horejsi, Mayfield had a match-high 17 kills and set the all-time single-season kills record with 461.

“You can’t really script it any better than that,” KU coach Ray Bechard said. “Lauren Hagan hasn’t been able to play much this year and she comes in and gets a kill, Allison Mayfield breaks the single-season kills record, and Nicole Tate made some great plays, so I’m happy for them. All three of those have been contributors their whole careers in so many different ways.”

Mo.’s Moe wants mo’ Border War games

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Missouri junior receiver T.J. Moe brought a personal item to Arrowhead Stadium for Saturday’s Border War game against Kansas.

“We fly the flag of Quantrill in our locker room right now,” Moe said. “It’s up. It’s my flag. I brought it.”

Moe, who purchased the

flag off the Internet two years ago, said after MU’s 24-10 victory that the flag was still hanging on the wall in MU’s locker room.

The receiver described it as a black flag with a white Q in the top-left-hand corner.

“You’ve got rivalries who kind of developed over good football games. We’re talking about ... we went over there and killed all their people and

burnt their city down. OK?” Moe said. “So that’s what makes it. They hate us. We hate them, too.

“We were maybe on the wrong side of the deal (then).

However, we’re the good guys now,” he added with a smile.

The O’Fallon, Mo., native isn’t ready to see the rivalry die.

“I will miss ’em. Yeah,” Moe said of the Jayhawks.

“It’s like your brother. You fight with him every day, but at the end of the day, you need him to have the rivalry, and it’s fine. I don’t like ’em at all, but you need them to have a rivalry, don’t you?”

Moe pointed out that, even though they’re not in the same conference, Georgia and Georgia Tech and Florida and Florida State still play each other every season.

“I’ve been telling everybody: The players would like to continue year after year,” Moe said. “You’ve got Bill Self, he’s all fired up about not ever wanting to play Missouri again. I heard coach (Turner) Gill over there, he didn’t want to, either. It’s mostly the higher-ups. Their AD, he’s all fired up too.”

Moe said no team could replace KU as MU’s rival.

“Well, dude, if they don’t

want to play any more, they don’t want to play any more,” Moe said. “Take your toys and go home. Whatever.”

Moe finished with three catches for 20 yards in what most likely will be the last KU-MU football game for a while.

“They don’t want to play.

And really, fine,” Moe said.

“I was trying to score enough points to hold us over for the next 50 years.”

HOW THEY SCORED Second Quarter 12:31 — Ron Doherty 33 field goal.

KU’s second interception of the day — this one by Greg Brown — set the Jayhawks up at the Missouri 15-yard line, and four plays later the Jayhawks broke the scoreless tie. The drive actually went backwards — four plays for minus-one yard — but the defense’s second takeaway set KU up to take the lead. (KU 3, MU 0).

10:36 — Bradley McDougald 57 interception return. Alex Mueller kick.

Missouri quarterback James Franklin’s third interception of the day resulted in more points for the Jayhawks.

McDougald caught the ball in traffic at the KU 43-yard line and then raced down the Missouri sideline into the end zone. The return was reviewed and upheld by replay. (KU 10, MU 0).

5:15 — Trey Barrow 23 field goal.

Missouri moved to the hurry-up offense and elected to keep things on the ground a little more. The result was a 12-play, 59-yard drive that spanned 5:15 and came to an end when the KU defense stuffed Franklin on a third-and-goal run from the five-yard line. (KU 10, MU 3).

Third Quarter 12:44 — Kendial Lawrence 2 run.

Barrow kick. Kansas opened the second half on offense but quickly went three-and-out and then turned the ball over to the Tigers after a high snap on the punt attempt. Three plays, 14 yards and 57 seconds later, the Tigers tied the game. (KU 10, MU 10).

5:34 — Wes Kemp 25 pass from James Franklin. Barrow kick. After KU’s second drive of the second half stalled when a false start pushed a fourth-and-inches scenario into fourthand-five, the Tigers marched 93 yards in nine plays and 3:10 to take their first lead of the day. Kemp’s reception came in the back of the end zone and initially was called incomplete. A review showed he had his right foot down with possession before going out of bounds. (MU 17, KU 10).

Fourth Quarter 14:52 — Marcus Lucas 53 pass from Franklin. Barrow kick. Franklin’s strong second half continued with a perfectly thrown ball to Lucas on second-and-one on the first play of the fourth quarter. Lucas beat KU cornerback Greg Brown for the TD and the drive covered five plays, 82 yards and 2:08. (MU 24, KU 10).

KANSAS QUARTERBACK JORDAN WEBB IS SACKED by Missouri’s Kenji Jackson in the fourth quarter. KU suffered a 24-10 loss to the Tigers on Saturday in Kansas City, Mo.

Kansas CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

threw three first-half interceptions and watched as Bradley McDougald returned one of them 57 yards for a touchdown. The fast start gave the Jayhawks, as well as the KU fans in the announced crowd of 47,059, a bit of a spark.

“We felt that our defense played extremely well in the first half,” Gill said.

Unfortunately for Kansas, the rest of the team did not follow suit. The offense, which finished with just 137 yards, three fumbles (one lost) and a 3-for-16 conversion ratio on third down, limped into the locker room at half with a 10-3 lead and the feeling that it should have been larger.

Although the defense’s inspired play in the first half provided a momentary lift, it also may have backfired.

“The only thing I was worried about was keeping guys motivated and not taking the brakes off,” McDougald said.

“After we got one pick and another one, and then we got

ANGRY KANSAS FANS VOICE THEIR DISPLEASURE of a fourth-quarter MU touchdown. a score on defense, guys were definitely feeling good, but we tried to tone it down. I started seeing too many smiles and joking around, some laughing, some complacency that wasn’t needed at the time.”

Kansas received the opening kickoff of the second half, but failed execution on first and second down prevented offensive coordinator Chuck Long and Gill from digging into their bag of tricks.

“We dropped the ball on the second play, and that put us in long yardage,” Gill said of the slow start to the third quarter.

“We had a trick play coming up if we got the first down, but we just never got anything going.”

The Tigers, on the other hand, did, outscoring KU, 14-

0, in the third quarter to take a 17-10 lead. Kendial Lawrence scored on a two-yard touchdown plunge after a high snap on a punt attempt by KU set Missouri up with firstand-10 at the Kansas 15-yard line. A couple of possessions later, Franklin hit Wes Kemp for a 25-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone.

“We came out lackadaisical for just a split-second in the second half,” senior linebacker Steven Johnson said.

“And in that split-second, they just capitalized on it.

We did play good. It’s just those two plays I feel like it got away from us. Two plays, mental breakdowns, that’s all it takes to win the game.”

MU’s strong third quar-

ter — somewhat uncharacteristic for a team that had been outscored 68-40 by opponents in the third heading into Saturday — brought KU’s dismal third-quarter numbers to a 145-38 advantage for KU’s opponents.

Missouri padded its lead with a 53-yard TD pass from Franklin to Marcus Lucas on the opening play of the fourth quarter, and, although the Jayhawks remained close, they never seriously threatened.

Kansas recorded just 77 yards of offense in the second half, including 28 yards rushing on 24 carries.

“The defense was playing real well, but I think they got tired,” sophomore running back James Sims said. “And that’s on us. As an offense, we have to move the ball.

The defense played (all)-out today, and without them, the game could’ve been worse.”

As the two teams sparred their way to an uneventful finish that ended with Mizzou fans filling Arrowhead with chants of “S-E-C, S-E-C” and KU fans screaming angry goodbyes to Gill as he exited the field, the reality of the end of another disappointing season began to sink it.

“It does hurt,” McDougald said. “Seeing guys go out … there’s a lot of tears. It’s an emotional day. It’s the seniors’ last game. Some of those guys in the locker room will never touch a football again. Some of those players who were seniors in there are the most devoted guys I’ve ever met in my life. They haven’t played a snap all year, but they were still in there full of emotions, shedding tears. It’s just an emotional day.”

Added Sims: “It’s tough.

The mood in the locker room was down. This is the last game we have against them, and we had a chance to win.

As an offense, we just didn’t pull through like we expected to or wanted to.”

As for Gill, whose future at Kansas is uncertain at best, he continued to push the same message after the loss.

“I still believe we can get some things done here and move this program in the right direction and do the things that we need to do,” he said. “That’s obviously to win games, get to bowl games and eventually be able to win championships.”

Asked if he thought he’d get the opportunity to do that, Gill said: “I do. Yes.”

NOTEBOOK: Jayhawks ‘believe in Turner Gill’

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas University football coach Turner Gill said after Saturday’s 24-10 loss to arch-rival Missouri that he believed he would be back at Kansas for a third season in 2012.

Many inside the Jayhawks’ locker room shared that opinion.

“I do,” said junior safety Bradley McDougald. “Until I hear anything else, I expect coach Gill to be my coach.”

KU defensive coordinator Vic Shealy was a little more passionate in his defense of Gill and his coaching staff, which has led Kansas to an overall record of 5-19, including a 1-16 mark in Big 12 play, during the past two seasons.

“I believe in Turner Gill,” Shealy said. “I think he’s a

very bright man that understands exactly how it should be done.”

Asked if concerns about Gill’s future had become a distraction for the team in recent weeks, Shealy said the Jayhawks simply had been too busy to concern themselves with that.

“Really, you don’t think about much other than trying to make sure that, come Saturday, you have a plan that your players can execute,” he said. “Now, at 2 o’clock or 3 o’clock in the morning, sometimes in your private thoughts, are you human and you think about it? Yeah.”

The topic of Gill’s future also came up in the opposing locker room, where MU coach Gary Pinkel said he did not believe coaches should be fired after just two seasons.

“If that was the case, they probably would have fired me, too,” Pinkel said. “I wasn’t the most popular guy my first four years here. Two losing seasons, then 2003 went to a bowl, and 2004 I did the worst coaching job I ever did. And then one bowl in three years did not look real good. Everybody’s got to make their own decisions, but obviously he’s a very good football coach. He’s a colleague and a friend, and I don’t think there’s any way you can make a decision on a program in two seasons.

It rarely is done, because a lot of people (would) have missed if they did that.”

KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger offered no new comments after Saturday’s loss and has stuck to his previous statement on the matter, which came after

KU’s 59-21 home loss to Kansas State.

“We continue to evaluate the program on a week-byweek basis at the University of Kansas,” Zenger said on Oct. 22. “We will never make a complete evaluation until the season is over and the body of work is in.”

End of the road?

Although Saturday’s game likely was the final football game in the storied history of the Kansas-Missouri rivalry — at least for a while — the victors were not shy about sharing their disappointment.

“I would absolutely love to continue to play Kansas,” said Mizzou wide receiver T.J. Moe. “It’s a fun game. It’s a big game. Everybody cares.

Have you seen them play that hard this whole year? They

were in it. We were in it, too.

We were out there fighting.

I’d love to continue the rivalry, and they need to find a way to convince them to do so. It can’t be that hard, you know.”

Pinkel also expressed disappointment over the potential end of the Border War. “I hope that doesn’t happen,” he said. “There’s got to be a way to work that out.

Iowa and Iowa State work it out. They go around the country to different places.

They try to maintain these kind of rival games. I think, without question, this thing can continue if both schools decide they want to. It’s not real complex, I don’t think.

Make it work. We’re certainly willing to do that, and you’d like to keep this rivalry going. Hopefully, people get together, and they do

what’s right. I feel that can happen.”

KU officials said throughout Missouri’s conversations with the Southeastern Conference that if the Tigers left the Big 12 for the SEC, it would mark the end of the rivalry.

Miller does not play Gill said freshman running back Darrian Miller, of Blue Springs, Mo., missed Saturday’s game because of a one-game suspension for violation of team rules.

Miller, second on the team in carries (136), yards (559) and touchdowns (four), was informed of his suspension Thursday.

“He’s a good football player,” Gill said. “He would’ve helped us. But (his absence) wasn’t the reason why we lost the football game.”

TOP 25 MEN’S ROUNDUP

UNLV stuns top-ranked Carolina, 90-80 Kentucky used an 18-3 firsthalf run to take a double-digit lead. After Portland pulled within six in the second half, the Wildcats put on a full-court press as part of an 18-4 run that put the game out of reach.

The Associated Press

UNLV 90, No. 1 North Carolina 80 LAS VEGAS — Chace Stanback had a career-high 28 and added 10 rebounds to help UNLV beat top-ranked North Carolina on Saturday night in the championship game of the Las Vegas Invitational.

Mike Moser added 16 points and 18 rebounds, Oscar Bellfield had 16 points and nine rebounds, and Anthony Marshall finished with 13 points for the Rebels (7-0).

P.J. Hairston and John Henson each had 15 points for North Carolina (6-1).

After North Carolina took a 42-38 halftime lead, UNLV opened the second half with a 14-0 run as the Tar Heels missed their first 10 shots.

The Rebels built a 77-63 lead on Lopez’s basket off a rebound with 5:39 left.

Rebels fans stormed the Orleans Arena court after the victory.

The Tar Heels shot 31 percent in the second half.

The Rebels gambled early, shooting their first 10 of 15 shots from 3-point and converting four. But the strategy paid off as the Rebels jumped to a 17-9 advantage.

The Tar Heels then held UNLV scoreless for the next 4 minutes and took their first lead, at 18-17, on Barnes’ baseline jumper with 10:30 left in the half.

North Carolina then pushed the advantage to 32-27.

Even though the game was played at the Orleans Arena, five miles from the UNLV campus, there seemed to be just slightly more UNLV fans as Tar Heels supporters in the 8,000-seat arena.

No. 25 Aggies ride defense past A&M-CC

No. 5 A&M takes down Iowa, 74-58

The Associated Press

No. 25 Texas A&M 56, Texas A&M-CC 43 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Elston Turner and Texas A&M turned to their stifling defense to overcome a rusty performance Saturday.

Turner scored 14 points, and the Aggies clamped down on Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

Ray Turner had 13 points and eight rebounds for the Aggies (4-1), who played for the first time in eight days and held the Islanders to 27.8 percent shooting. It was the lowest shooting percentage for an Aggies opponent since the first round of the 2008 Big 12 tournament, when Iowa State finished at 27.4 percent.

Hameed Ali, Johnathan Jordan and Jake Kocher made consecutive 3-pointers to help Texas A&M-Corpus Christi close to 45-39 with 7:45 left, but Ray Turner scored on an offensive rebound on Texas A&M’s ensuing possession and the Aggies outscored the Islanders 11-4 the rest of the way.

Myron Dempsey had 14 points for the Islanders (1-3).

Texas A&M went 5 for 8 from 3-point range in the first half and led 30-16 at the break. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi missed all 10 of its 3-point attempts in the first half, and finished 3 of 17 from long range.

Elston Turner tied a career high with four 3-pointers, and freshman Jordan Green had 10 points and six assists.

Texas A&M was once again without guard Khris Middleton, who is recovering from a knee injury and is

expected back in about two weeks.

The Aggies had 12 turnovers in the first half and six in the second half, continuing a frenetic pace under firstyear coach Billy Kennedy.

They also outscored the Islanders 10-0 on the fast break.

The Islanders outrebounded the larger Aggies 39-37.

Texas 56, Sam Houston State 40 AUSTIN, TEXAS — Alexis Wangmene scored 13 points, providing the key baskets late, as Texas shook off a terrible shooting night to beat Sam Houston State.

Jonathon Holmes scored 14 points and Sheldon McClellan added 12 for Texas (3-2), which had four players score in double figures to snap a two-game losing skid.

The Longhorns, who lost all five starters from last season and have just nine recruited scholarship players, shot 32 percent.

Texas guard J’Covan Brown, who came in averaging 26.3 points, had his worst game of the season with 11

points on 4 of 15 shooting.

Poor shooting by Texas and an early run by Sam Houston State put the Longhorns in a hole they would spend most of the first half trying to recover from. Texas missed 12 of its first 13 shots and Sam Houston State led 16-4.

No. 12 Sooners overcome Cyclones’ early challenge

BAYLOR WIDE RECEIVER KENDALL WRIGHT (1) BEATS Texas Tech safeties Cody Davis (16) and Terrance Bullitt to score a touchdown in the first quarter on Saturday in Arlington, Texas.

Griffin-less Baylor out-duels Tech, 66-42 ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — Robert Griffin III stood on the sideline after halftime holding a towel and watching, the Heisman Trophy hopeful done for the night because of an apparent concussion.

Though Griffin wanted to play, Baylor medical officials took away his helmet before the second half against Texas Tech.

Even without their leader, the 21st-ranked Bears practically scored at will in a 66-42 victory Saturday night.

“I’m excited. I’ve got a smile on my face,” Griffin said. “I only got to play half of the game, but I tried to contribute as much as I could.”

Baylor (8-3, 5-3 Big 12) set a school mark for most points in a conference game — Big 12 or the Southwest Conference for decades before that — but was already ahead to stay when Griffin scored on a 3-yard keeper just before halftime. That score came after he was on the sideline for one play after taking an elbow to the helmet while sliding at the end of a run.

“We got in at halftime, he had a little trouble remembering what was going on,” coach Art Briles said. “We were going to be cautious because that’s the right thing to do. Robert’s a tough guy. He wanted to go. ... But he didn’t need to go.”

Nick Florence, the junior who hadn’t thrown a pass all season and was possibly going to be redshirted, filled in aptly.

Florence completed nine of 12 passes for 151 yards with a pair of long touchdowns. He threw a 46-yard TD to Kendall Wright and a 40-yarder to Terrance Williams before Joe Williams returned an interception 90 yards to push Baylor ahead 52-28.

“It was a team win. I’m still kind of taking it all in right now,” said Florence, the primary starter after Griffin got hurt only three games into the 2009 season. “If I’m go-

ing to remove (the red shirt), let’s remove it like that.”

Terrance Ganaway rushed 42 times for 246 yards and two touchdowns, giving him a school-record 14 for the Bears, who reached eight wins for the first time since 1991.

“Never would I have thought that we would have that many rushes in a game with Art Briles’ offense,” Ganaway said, smiling.

“Our offensive line was just dominating,” Briles said.

“There’s not many 242-pound backs in the nation that have the agility and speed that Ganaway has.”

Texas Tech (5-7, 2-7) finished with its first losing record since 1992. The Red Raiders lost their last five games after a 41-38 upset last month at Oklahoma, which Baylor beat at home last week.

“This is as frustrating as it gets. We didn’t meet the expectations we had,” Tech quarterback Seth Doege said.

“When your season doesn’t end on a high note, you feel bad for the seniors.”

Griffin had scrambled from one side of the field to the other and slid inside the 5 with a first down when defensive back Cornelius Douglas came in hard with an elbow that knocked Griffin’s head back to the turf.

The quarterback remained flat on his back for a couple of moments before coming out of the game for a play. He then returned for his second touchdown run to make it 3121.

When the game was over, Briles hugged a smiling Griffin and kissed him on the cheek.

The two teams combined for 108 points and 1,061 total yards at Cowboys Stadium, where Baylor outgained the Red Raiders 617 to 444. The Bears had 294 before halftime with Griffin.

“It was pretty much tonight like it’s gone the rest of the year. We just haven’t

NORMAN, OKLA. (AP) — With an assist from Mother Nature, No. 12 Oklahoma got its defense back in order and set up a Bedlam showdown for the Big 12 championship.

Landry Jones threw for 256 yards, Blake Bell punched in two short touchdown runs, and the Sooners limited Iowa State to a season-low 245 yards in a 26-6 victory on Saturday.

Rebounding after allowing a school-record 616 yards allowed last week in a 45-38 loss at Baylor, Oklahoma only let the Cyclones (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) score after James Winchester’s snap sailed over the head of punter Tress Way in the first quarter.

Oklahoma will visit No. 4 Oklahoma State — the nation’s second-highest scoring offense — next week, and the winner earns the Big 12 title.

Trey Franks finished with 88 yards rushing on two long reverses to set up scores for the Sooners (9-2, 6-2), and Michael Hunnicutt matched his career-high with four field goals on a difficult day for offense.

Each team turned it over four times in a game played in front of thousands of empty seats at sold-out Owen Field, with sustained winds of over 30 mph and gusting to more than 40 mph. The game-time winds were the strongest in Norman since a 1964 loss against Southern California.

The Cyclones didn’t sustain a drive of longer than 35 yards and got their only points on Jared Barnett’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Albert Gary one play after Oklahoma’s botched punt.

They were shut out the rest of the way.

Griffin, the national leader in total offense (412 yards per game), completed 7 of 11 passes for 106 yards with a touchdown. He ran 14 times for 62 yards.

Multiple ways to handle wife’s flirt Dear Annie: Your column is the first thing my wife reads every morning, so I figured I’d write. An issue has come up that I’d rather not discuss with anyone else.

My wife and I are both retired. We go to the same neighborhood coffee shop every morning. We’ve gotten to know the owners and the other folks who go there, including “Harry,” a regular.

I think he has developed a crush on my wife. She thinks this is ridiculous.

When Harry comes in, he automatically sits with us, whether or not we invite him. And he always sits next to my wife. The first thing he does is give her a kiss on the cheek. Sometimes, he will put his arm around her shoulder. They occasionally carry on a conversation as if I’m not there. When it’s time to leave, he will give her a kiss on the cheek, along with a hug that I feel is more than friendly.

If my wife thinks Harry hasn’t been in yet, she will dawdle over her coffee and order an extra donut. Of course, when Harry’s wife is with him, they sit at the counter and his behavior is completely different. He gives us a brief “good morning.”

I have told my wife how much it annoys me when Harry hugs, kisses and puts his arm around her, and I’d

Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: I was appalled to discover that of the 120 guests who attended my daughter’s recent wedding, only 25 people gave her a gift.

This is the first family occasion I have ever hosted that requires a gift, but over the years, I have given presents for countless weddings, showers, birthday parties, even second weddings.

Several of these nongifters are my family members, and I am amazed at their lack of mananniesmailbox@comcast.net ners and deeply hurt.

I would think these people like to respectfully ask him would be ashamed of themto stop. My wife doesn’t want selves. What do you say? — me to say anything. She says Mad Mom of the Bride I’m overreacting and jealous.

She says Harry is harmless, and I shouldn’t create a problem in our favorite coffee shop. I think she’s flattered by his attention.

How do I put an end to this without causing more problems? — Worried Hubby Dear Hubby: Harry is flirting, and your wife enjoys the attention, but we don’t believe he’s a threat to your marriage. There are several ways to handle this: You can ignore it; you can stop going to that coffee shop; you can sit next to your wife so Harry cannot; you can ask him to stop flirting with her; you can sweetly explain to your wife how she undermines your trust by encouraging Harry; you can introduce yourself to Harry’s wife and ask the two of them to join you.

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

‘Faith’ has little to believe in Bradley Whitford (“West Wing,” “Studio 60”) has made a career of playing successful, if insecure, guys with a penchant for talking just a tad too much, often about Mr. First Person Singular. That makes him all too perfectly cast to play the title character in “Mitch Albom’s Have a Little Faith” (8 p.m., ABC).

As the TV movie begins, Albom is returning to the synagogue of his New Jersey youth and encounters his old rabbi, Albert Lewis (Martin Landau), a man who both inspired him and filled him with fear.

So Mitch is a little surprised when the rabbi asks him to write his eulogy. Albom spends the next 20 minutes wondering aloud to his wife and friends, “Just why would he ask me, of all people, to do that?”

Could it be because he knows you’re Mitch Albom, author of “Tuesdays With Morrie,” a man who has spun sentimental quasispiritual schmaltz into best-selling publishing gold?

And speaking of quasi- spiritual schmaltz, Landau’s turn as a breezy, casual rabbi who occasionally spritzes us with fortune cookie profundity, will not go down as one of his finest performances.

Happily, “Faith” also stars Laurence Fishburne (“CSI”) as Henry Covington, a former street criminal and drug dealer who turned his life around, and who, along with his wife, Annette (Anika Noni Rose), founded a church to help Detroit’s homeless. Flashbacks to Convington’s bad old days feature many scenes with Fishburne in a period Afro wig, reminding us that “Hallmark Hall of Fame” dramas are never very strong on gritty urban realism.

“Faith” allows these very different men to impart truths about the relationship between the human and the divine.

Unfortunately, both lessons must be refracted through the prism of Albom’s well-patented spiritual schtick.

If the new auction and appraisal series “Real Deal” (8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., History) sounds a bit like a game show, that’s because it’s meant to. Folks present their items to a down-home, country-fried appraiser, who, after gimleteyed evaluation, whips out a wad of cash to show what he thinks the stuff is worth. Some folks take the deal, while others opt for the excitement and risk of a rapid-fire auction more akin to a livestock sale than the action at Christie’s or Sotheby’s.

One hopeful comes in with a SpiderMan pendant from the 1950s that he’s convinced is worth $20,000. When he’s offered only $300, we go on to the auction, where he risks everything to the power and wisdom of the marketplace.

Today’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): homeless families living in cars, the science of flavor, Angelina Jolie.

Kansas City hosts Pittsburgh on “Sunday Night Football” (7 p.m., NBC).

“Being Chaz” (7 p.m., OWN) chronicles Chaz Bono’s life post gender-transformation surgery.

Hershel remains in denial on “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m., AMC).

Nucky’s new product source challenges the Commodore’s compatriots on “Boardwalk Empire” (8 p.m., HBO)

Debra has a breakthrough in therapy on “Dexter” (8 p.m., Showtime).

Tanya feels snubbed on “Hung” (9 p.m., HBO).

Dear Mom: One presumably invites people to a wedding in order for them to participate in your happiness.

Of course, their participation should include best wishes for the bride and groom, and this is appropriately expressed through gifts. We understand why you are hurt, but keep in mind that people have been known to send wedding gifts after the fact.

We hope they will still do so.

FOR YOUR TRADE-IN

John Clark Gilroy, an attorney in Lawrence, Kansas, has been appointed as guardian ad litem for the child. Each of the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents has a right to appear and be heard personally either with or without an attorney. The Court will appoint counsel for a parent who is financially unable to retain counsel.

You are hereby notified that a petition has been filed in this court alleging that the child named above is a child in need of care. If the Court finds the child is a child in need of care, the Court may also find that the father is unfit by reason or conduct or condition which renders the father unable to care properly for the child, the conduct or condition is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future, and the parental rights of the father should be terminated. The Court may also order the father to pay child support.

On the 30th day of January 2012, at 9:00 a.m., the father and any other person claiming legal custody of the child must appear for a formal hearing before the District Court, Division 6 at the Douglas County Law Enforcement and Judicial Center, 111 E 11th Street, Lawrence, Kansas. Prior to that time, the father, paternal grandparent(s) or any other party to the proceeding may file a written re-

TO: All Residents of the City of Lawrence, Kansas Pursuant to the provisions of K.S.A. 12-110c, together with any amendments thereto (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Actâ&#x20AC;?), the City of Lawrence, Kansas (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cityâ&#x20AC;?) intends to acquire one (1) engine fire apparatus, for the use of the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Department at an approximate cost of $347,967 and to pay the cost thereof by the issuance of Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $347,967 plus any issuance expenses and plus the cost of any interest on temporary notes.

The bonds shall mature not more than 12 years from their date of issuance. This notice shall be published once each week for two consecutive weeks in the official City newspaper. If, within sixty (60) days following the date of the final publication of this notice, a petition signed by not less than five (5) percent of the qualified electors of the City is filed with the City Clerk, no such bonds shall be issued until the same have been approved by a majority of the qualified electors of the City at an election called and held therefore. If no protest petition is filed, the City shall proceed with the issuance of the Bonds. Dated: November 15, 2011.

will march out of Afghanistan by the thousands next year, winding down combat in the Taliban heartland and testing the U.S. view that Afghan forces are capable of leading the fight against a battered but not yet beaten insurgency in the country’s southwestern reaches, American military officers say.

At the same time, U.S. reinforcements will go to eastern Afghanistan in a bid to reverse recent gains by insurgents targeting Kabul, the capital.

Gen. James F. Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, said in an Associated Press interview that the number of Marines in Helmand province will drop “markedly” in 2012 and the role of those who stay will shift from countering the insurgency to training and advising Afghan security forces.

The change suggests an early exit from Afghanistan for the Marine Corps even as the prospects for solidifying their recent successes are uncertain.

Gen. James F. Amos, commandant of the Marine Corps, said that the number of Marines in Helmand province will drop “markedly” in 2012 and the role of those who stay will shift from countering the insurgency to training and advising Afghan security forces.

“Am I OK with that? The answer is ‘yes,’” Amos said.

“We can’t stay in Afghanistan forever.”

“Will it work? I don’t know.

But I know we’ll do our part.”

At stake is President Barack Obama’s pledge to win in Afghanistan. He said during his 2008 campaign that the war was worth fighting and that he would get U.S. forces out of Iraq.

Facing a stalemate in Afghanistan in 2009, Obama ordered an extra 30,000 U.S. troops to the country, including about 10,000 Marines to Helmand province, in the belief that if the Taliban were to retake the government, al-Qaida soon would return to the land from which it plotted the Sept. 11 attacks.

Also at stake are the sacrifices of the nearly 300 Marines killed in Afghanistan over the past three years.

Weighing against prolonging the conflict is its unsustainable cost and what author and former Defense Department official Bing West has called its “grinding inconclusiveness.”

In a series of pep talks to Marines in Helmand this past week, Amos said the Marine mission in Afghanistan would end in the next 12 months to 18 months. That is as much as two years before the December 2014 deadline, announced a year ago, for all U.S. and other foreign troops to leave the country.

“Savor being out here together,” Amos told Marines on Thanksgiving at an outpost along the Helmand River called Fiddler’s Green, “because it’s going to be over” soon.

He was referring only to the Marines’ role, which is limited mainly to Helmand, although there also are Marine special operations forces in western Afghanistan. The U.S. military efforts in Kandahar province and throughout the volatile eastern region are led by the Army, along with allied forces.

Amos stressed in his visits with groups of Marines that he is optimistic that Helmand’s improved security will hold. On Saturday, he said “there is every reason to be optimistic” at this stage of the 10-year-old war.

For the past two years, Helmand and neighboring Kandahar have been the main focus of the U.S.-led effort to turn the tide against a resilient Taliban. In that period, the Taliban and other insurgent networks have grown bolder and more violent in the eastern provinces where they have the advantage of sanctuary across the border in Pakistan and where U.S. and NATO forces are spread more thinly than in the south.

During two days of visiting Marine outposts throughout Helmand this past week, Amos cited progress against the Taliban and was told by Marine commanders that plans are well under way to close U.S. bases, ship war equipment home and prepare for a major drawdown of Marines beginning next summer.

Amos declined to discuss the number of Marines expected to leave in 2012, but indications are that 10,000 or more may depart.

SUPREME COURT HEALTH CARE CASE

Groups want Thomas, Kagan to sit out

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Conservative interest groups and Republican lawmakers want Justice Elena Kagan off the health care case. Liberals and Democrats in Congress say it’s Justice Clarence Thomas who should sit it out.

Neither justice is budging — the right decision, according to many ethicists and legal experts.

None of the parties in the case has asked the justices to excuse themselves. But underlying the calls on both sides is their belief that the conservative Thomas is a sure vote to strike down President Barack Obama’s health care law and that the liberal Kagan is certain to uphold the main domestic achievement of the man who appointed her.

The stakes are high in the court’s election-year review of a law aimed at extending coverage to more than 30 million people. Both sides have engaged in broad legal

and political maneuvering for the most favorable conditions surrounding the court’s considerThomas ation of the case.

Taking away just one vote potentially could tip the outcome on the nine-justice Kagan court.

Republican lawmakers recently have stepped up their effort against Kagan, complaining that the Justice Department has not fully revealed Kagan’s involvement in planning the response to challenges to the law. Kagan was Obama’s solicitor general, the administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer, until he nominated her to the high court last year.

Colleges defend humanities fields amid tight budgets

By Stephanie Reitz Associated Press

HARTFORD, CONN. — Like many humanities advocates, Abbey Drane was disheartened but not surprised when Florida’s governor recently said its tax dollars should bolster science and high-tech studies, not “educate more people who can’t get jobs in anthropology.”

Drane, a 21-year-old anthropology major at the University of MassachusettsAmherst, has spent years defending her choice to pursue that liberal arts field.

And now, as states tighten their allocations to public universities, many administrators say they’re feeling pressure to defend the worth of humanities, too, and shield the genre from budget cuts. One university president has gone as far as donating $100,000 of her own money to offer humanities scholarships at her school.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott’s comments last month cut to the heart of the quandary: whether emphasizing science, math and medical fields gives students the best career prospects and a high-tech payback to society, and whether humanities fields are viewed as more of an indulgence than a necessity amid tight budget times.

“You can definitely feel the emphasis on campus, even just based on where the newest buildings go, that there is a drive toward the sciences, engineering and (the) business school,” said Drane, a senior from Plymouth, Mass.

“I’m constantly asked what job opportunities I’ll have in anthropology or what I’m going to do with my degree, and I tell people that it’s giving me a skill set and critical thinking you can apply to anything.”

Humanities studies peaked in U.S. colleges in the 1960s and started dwindling in the 1970s as more students pursued business and technology and related fields. Today, more than 20 percent of each year’s bachelor’s degrees are granted in business; in humanities, it’s about 8 percent.

Liberal arts colleges, too, have declined. A study published in 2009 by Inside Higher Ed said that of 212 liberal arts colleges identified in 1990, only 137 were still operating by 2009.

At Amherst College in western Massachusetts, a healthy endowment makes closing the doors a remote possibility at best. But its president, Carolyn “Biddy” Martin, experienced the same concerns about the humanities in her previous job as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and was tapped this year to serve on a commission for the American Academy of Arts & Sciences to review the issue.

Martin said many universities struggle with declining enrollment in those fields.

“There are more and more people in higher education — and I hope political leaders — who are understanding that an over-leaning emphasis on the sciences to the expense of the humanities is not a good thing for the country,” she said.

“The public has a right to know both the full extent of Justice Kagan’s involvement with this legislation while she was solicitor general, as well as her previously stated views and opinions about the legislation while she was serving as solicitor general,” the House Judiciary Committee chairman, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said Tuesday in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder.

Democrats have said Thomas has a conflict of interest stemming from the work of his wife, Virginia, with several groups that opposed the health care overhaul.

“From what we have already seen, the line between your impartiality and you and your wife’s financial stake in the overturn of health care reform is blurred,” 74 Democrats wrote Thomas in February. The lead writer was Anthony Weiner, the New York Democrat who resigned from Congress in June over his use of Twitter to send explicit photos of himself to women.

One lawmaker who signed the letter, Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., said she feels even more strongly now that Thomas has a conflict. She wants the Justice Department to investigate Thomas for omitting his wife’s employers, including the Heritage Foundation and the tea-party linked Liberty Central, from his annual financial disclosure reports.

The campaigns against the justices are partisan, suggesting to some legal experts that the complaints are less about perceived conflicts than the outcome of the health care case.

“They are not doing it in the dark about how they think the justices will rule,” said University of Notre Dame law professor Richard Garnett.

Looking at the claims made against Thomas and Kagan, Garnett said, “I don’t think there’s really a plausible case that either of these two justices should feel the need to recuse themselves.”

CUSTOMERS LINE UP FOR HOT DRINKS NOV. 19 AT STARBUCKS in New York. The way Americans are chomping Big Macs, lacing up Air Jordans and gulping peppermint mochas in this abysmal economy, you’d think they’re taking advantage of big holiday discounts.

If you raise the price, they’ll still come

By Christina Rexrode Associated Press

NEW YORK — The way Americans are chomping Big Macs, lacing up pricey sneakers and gulping peppermint mochas in this economy, you’d think they’re taking advantage of big holiday discounts.

The truth is they’re paying more.

McDonald’s, Nike, Starbucks and other companies initially worried that customers would run the other way when they started raising prices to offset their higher costs for ingredients, fuel and packaging. But so far, cash-strapped Americans largely have swallowed the price spikes. And they’re continuing to do so during this holiday shopping season.

On a recent weekday, five full floors of shoppers in a Nike store in New York didn’t seem to mind paying more for their favorite kicks, including the almost $200 sneakers named for NBA star LeBron James. At a McDonald’s across town, people munched on Big Macs and fries that cost a dime or two more than last year. Customers also piled into a Starbucks down the street, where cappuccinos and many other specialty drinks now top $5.

Timothy and Katrin Sullivan, a San Diego couple, estimate that together they spend about $100 a month on skinny caramel macchiatos and pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks, where prices on some drinks have risen in some regions this year. As parents of five children, they worry about the economy and have cut back

on travel and ball games, but so far, their morning cup of joe has survived the chopping block despite the rising price.

“It’s cheaper than therapy,” says Katrin Sullivan, 39.

The prices Americans pay for food, travel and other things have steadily risen this year, according to government data. Prices went up 3.5 percent in October compared with the same month a year ago. At the same time, every month for the past year except one, spending grew 2 percent or more compared with the same month a year ago. That’s given retailers some cautious optimism as they try to gauge just how much more consumers are willing to pay.

Pete Bensen, McDonald’s chief financial officer told analysts during the company’s earnings call that the question boils down to this: “Is the consumer in a place that we’re comfortable we can continue to add price increases?”

Companies of all stripes have been asking that question a lot. In the past year, they’ve been paying more for materials like beef, corn and fuel that they use to make, package and transport their goods. A combination of poor crop yields in some parts of the world, unrest in the Middle East and greater demand from countries like Brazil and China have sent those costs up.

Many costs have come down after spiking in the spring. A pound of coffee, for example, is trading at about $2.30, down from $3 in the spring. But that’s up from $2 a year ago.

U.S. military legacy rubs off on youth of Iraq

By Bushra Juhi Associated Press

BAGHDAD — After more than eight years in Iraq, the departing American military’s legacy includes a fledgling democracy, bitter memories of war and for the nation’s youth, rap music, tattoos and slang.

In other words, as the Dec. 31 deadline for completing their withdrawal approaches, U.S. troops are leaving behind the good, the bad and what “Lil Czar” Mohammed calls the “punky.”

Sporting baggy soldiers’ camouflage pants, high-top sneakers and a back-turned “N.Y.” baseball cap, the chubby 22-year-old was showing off his break-dancing moves on a sunny afternoon in a Baghdad park. A $ sign was shaved into his closely cropped hair.

“While others might stop being rappers after the Americans leave, I will go on (rapping) till I reach N.Y.,” said Mohammed, who teaches part time at a primary school.

His forearm bore a tattoo of dice above the words “GANG STAR.” That was the tattooist’s mistake, he said; it was supposed to say “gangsta.”

Eight million Iraqis — a quarter of the population — have been born since the U.S.-led invasion of 2003, and nearly half the country is under 19, according to Brett McGurk, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York and, until recently, senior adviser to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

AN IRAQI BOY DANCES TO HIP-HOP MUSIC Nov. 10 in Baghdad. After more than eight years in Iraq, the departing American military’s legacy includes a fledgling democracy, bitter memories of war, and for the nation’s youth, rap music, tattoos and slang.

So after years of watching U.S. soldiers on patrol, it’s inevitable that hip-hop styles, tough-guy mannerisms and slangy English patter would catch on with young Iraqis.

Calling themselves “punky,” or “hustlers,” many are donning hoodie sweatshirts, listening to 50 Cent or Eminem, and watching “Twilight” vampire movies. They eat hamburgers and pizza and do death-defying Rollerblade runs through speeding traffic. Teens spike their hair or shave it Marine-style. The “Iraq Rap” page on Facebook has 1,480 fans.

To many of their fellow Iraqis, the habits appear weird, if not downright offensive. But to the youths, it is a vital part of their pursuit of the American dream as they imagine it to be.

“Lil Czar” Mohammed, a Shiite Muslim, says he was introduced to American culture by a Christian friend, Laith, who subsequently had to flee the anti-Christian violence that broke out in Baghdad. “I had nothing to help my friend; he left,” he said.

“But when I get the money and become a rich boss, I will tell my friend Laith to come back.”

Meanwhile, he said, he is trying to record a rap song in Arabic and English. “It is about our situation. About no jobs for us.”

“I love the American soldiers,” said Mohammed Adnan, 15, who pastes imitation tattoos on his arm. Adnan lives in the Sadr City, the Baghdad base of followers of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who has threat-

ened violence against U.S. troops if they stay beyond 2011.

But, surprisingly, Adnan says the U.S. gangsta look is accepted in his neighborhood.

“All young men in Sadr City wear the same clothes when we hang around,” he said. “Nobody minds. And we’re invited to weddings or celebrations where we perform break-dancing.”

It all adds up to a taste of the wide world for a society which lived for decades under Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship that deprived them of satellite TV, cellphones and the Internet, and then through invasion, terrorism and sectarian killing.

Not all Iraqis welcome the culture the Americans brought. Dr. Fawzia A. al-Attia, a sociologist at Baghdad University, says one result is that young Iraqis now reject school uniforms, engage in forbidden love affairs and otherwise rebel against their elders.

“There was no strategy to contain this sudden openness,” she said. “Teenagers, especially in poor areas where parents are of humble origin and humble education, started to adopt the negative aspects of the American society because they think that by imitating the Americans, they obtain a higher status in society.

“These young Iraqi people need to be instructed,” she said. “They need to know about the positive aspects of the American society to imitate.”

Winter tree IDs: difficult but possible

W

hile most people think about leaves when they think about identifying trees, there are many other unique characteristics that can help with identification. Winter is a good time to become familiar with trees’ other identifying features, including growth habit, bark, branch and leaf arrangement, twigs and buds. Proper identification may also require studying as much of the tree as possible.

Garden Calendar

Jennifer Smith smithjen@ksu.edu

A tree identification key will help only if it illustrates trees’ structural features or describes them in simple terms. Keys that are regional in nature also help to narrow down the choices. Two helpful dormant tree identification guides are “Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines in Kansas” (University Press of Kansas, $14.95) and “A Key to Missouri Trees in Winter” (Missouri Department of Conservation, $3).

Form and shape The first thing to look for is the overall form. Some trees are distinctly recognizable from a distance.

The most recognizable example is probably the American elm that typically grows into a distinct vase-like shape. Also, think of an oak tree with a broad, spreading crown and how it compares to a redbud’s short, sprawling nature. In most cases use tree form as just one factor in identification, as differences can occur from light competition,

DOGWOODS ARE RECOGNIZABLE IN WINTER because they are one of the few tree species with an opposite branching habit. Opposite branching means the branches occur opposite each other rather than in an alternating pattern. the acronym MAD). Buckeye and horsechestnut also have opposite branching but are uncommon in Kansas. Opposite branching is more common in shrubs, so make sure what you are identifying is a tree if it is an immature specimen.

Leaf arrangement Leaf arrangement is similar to branch arrangement, but look closely for buds or bud scars to determine where the leaves originate.

In addition to opposite and alternate leaf arrange-

ments, leaves can emerge in a whorled pattern. Whorled leaf arrangement means multiple leaves emerge from the same point on the branch. Catalpa trees may have whorled or opposite leaf arrangements.

If the tree cannot be identified by form, bark and branch and leaf arrangement, the next step involves getting into the real nitty gritty of tree identification. Using a key, study leaf buds, leaf scars, stipules and lenticels — all of which have their own

distinct characteristics in different tree species.

If the tree has fruit or seeds attached, they can also be used to aid in identification of the tree species.

Because evergreen trees can be identified by their leaves year round, dormant tree identification tips apply primarily to deciduous trees.

Bradley & Hubbard held several lamp patents. The Feb. 28, 1905, patent on your lamp refers to a wick raiser for central-draft lamps. The company became a division of the Charles Parker Co. in 1940.

Q: I have had an old gas iron for a long time. It got its gas fuel from a hose on the wall in our apartment in Poland. I use it as a doorstop because it’s so heavy.

There are no markings on it.

Can you give me more information about it?

A: Before 1850, irons had to be heated on a stove or in a fireplace. Charcoal-burning irons were invented in the early 1850s. Gas irons were invented in about 1860. Some, like yours, have a rubber or metal tube that could be connected to a gas light jet or gas canister. Others had tanks that could be

Q: Why is there a mirror on my inkstand?

A: Inkstands, common desk accessories in the 18th and 19th centuries, held a container for ink, a pen tray or holder and other items needed for writing letters.

Some had a candleholder and a pounce holder or sander for fixing the ink. The candle could be used to light the page, but it was also used to melt the wax that sealed the envelopes. We’ve seen traveling inkwells with hinged mirrored lids, and recently we’ve seen some inkstands with mirrors. While travelers may have used the mirror to check their appearance, we’re not sure why some ink-

stands have mirrors. A mirror does increase the light a candle throws, but there may be other reasons. Perhaps our readers have other suggestions.

Q: I have six decanters from the Jim Beam Collector’s Edition, Volume V. The bottles are decorated with copies of famous works of art by Manet, Rembrandt and Van Gogh. One bottle has been opened. They are all in their original boxes.

I’m interested in finding out the value of these decanters.

A: Jim Beam Collector’s Edition decanters were made from 1966 to 1986. Your set, Volume V, was issued in 1970. The first decanters sold for $5.95. They have not gained in value through the years. Any Collector’s Edition decanter currently sells for $5 or less. A set of all six Volume V decanters, with original boxes and matching glasses, recently sold for under $30.

ZACH MANDELL, a guitar and voice student at Americana Music Academy, will be one of several students and instructors at Americana performing in the annual holiday show 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H.

among many of Americana’s students.

Zach Mandell, a 16-yearold junior at Free State High School, has been taking music lessons from the AMA since 2008, and he says the attitude of the academy’s instructors isn’t quite what he expected from such a seasoned group of professional and semi-professional musicians.

“I walked into the Americana thinking I might get — for a lack of a better term — some stuck-up music teachers,“ Mandell says.

“But everyone is approachable, laid back, and very easy to talk to. My guitar teacher Thom [Alexander] has been playing twice as long as I’ve been alive!”

Mandell has always had an aptitude for music. He started learning the piano when he was 7, eventually moving on to the clarinet for two years, and after moving to Lawrence in 2008, decided to give the guitar a try. Something just clicked.

“Thom started me on rock guitar, then we worked on bluegrass and jazz, and eventually some theory, which has really helped,” he says.

One lesson from Alexander consisted entirely of listening to an album by progressive rock band Tool and dissecting it.

“My musical tastes have gotten a lot more discerning and I listen to music differently. He taught me how to analyze music and by analyzing it, enjoy it.”

Mandell has branched out again and is now taking voice lessons from Ashley Davis, another of the Americana’s instructors. When she’s not teaching, Davis is a touring singer/songwriter whose music is deeply rooted in traditional Celtic myth and folklore.

For the Americana’s holiday concert Dec. 2, Davis invited Mandell to duet with

her on a tune by Irish singer/ songwriter James Vincent McMorrow, and her student is thrilled at the opportunity.

“I guess I’m the first student she’s asked to do that, so I’m pretty flattered,” he says.

It is the fifth year in Lawrence for the students, instructors and other area musicians as they team up for “An Americana Christmas,” but the concert, which is being held Dec. 3 in Topeka as well, has never been more important to the academy.

The show is the Americana’s annual all-ages fundraiser to provide scholarships for those who cannot afford music lessons.

“The AMA is important to Lawrence in so many ways,” says Gillenwater, who has been teaching for 11 years.

“It offers a safety net for kids who can’t play in band or orchestra or who want to play guitar or banjos or other instruments not offered through the school districts.

It’s also ready to pick up the slack as public schools diminish music classes.”

Ask Bennett why the Academy is important to him and there’s no hesitation: When his wife decided to take up the fiddle again five years ago, it opened the couple up to meeting a new circle of friends. Lessons for adult students can also bring a big

sense of accomplishment.

Unfortunately, the country’s recent economic downturn has done more than affect the pocketbooks of those eager to learn an instrument.

It has radically altered the political landscape as well. “(Gov. Sam) Brownback and his abolishment of the wonderful Kansas Arts Commission have hurt us this year,” Gillenwater says. “That’s why it is more important than ever to raise money for our organization, which is a nonprofit music school. We have lost about 25 percent of our operating/scholarship funds.”

One thing that surprised Mandell when he moved to Lawrence from Wisconsin four years ago was the community’s outward support for the arts. Mandell described what he sees as a cyclical music-support group with the Americana Music Academy squarely in the center.

“Local music teachers are

teaching local kids and local adults who want to learn, who then become local musicians, who then add to the local music scene,” he says, “and that’s important.”

Moore ‘Trouble’ on the way Filmmaker strives for ‘very honest’ book in his own voice McClatchy Newspapers

Ransom Jabara, reference librarian, Lawrence “‘The Family Fang’ by Kevin Wilson. It was really good — quirky.”

Lynzee Ford, manager of Claire’s, Lawrence “‘Man in the Music’ by Joseph Vogel. I saw it in the new section and picked it up because I love Michael Jackson.”

Jane Tyska/Oakland Tribune/MCT

FILMMAKER AND ACTIVIST MICHAEL MOORE speaks to Occupy Oakland protesters Oct. 28 outside City Hall in Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland, Calif. Moore has a new book out called “Here Comes Trouble,” a collection of autobiographical writings. where he goes, like Forrest Gump’s mischievous brother: He gets kicked out of seminary school, he creates a whirlwind of controversy for the Elks Club, he pushes the Flint school board to catch up with the times and he cheerfully rakes the local muck by founding an alternative newspaper. Along the way, there are cameos by some of the most iconic names of the 20th century, including John Lennon, Ronald Reagan and Kurt Vonnegut.

Many of the chapters in “Here Comes Trouble” also take sudden turns, delving into emotional subject matter — homophobia, suicide, a botched abortion, Vietnam and the death of his mother — that Moore handles with the candor and skill of a natural-born storyteller.

The filmmaker has written wildly popular books in the past (including the bestsellers “Dude, Where’s My Country?” and “Downsize This! Random Threats from an Unarmed American.”) But he has never written one this heartfelt or engaging.

Reading “Here Comes Trouble,” you can practically hear Moore inside your head as if he was telling you these stories himself — a voice instantly familiar from his films (“Bowling for Columbine,”

‘‘Fahrenheit 9/11”) and TV shows (“The Awful Truth.”)

“I wanted to write a very honest book in my authentic voice,” Moore said from New York. “It’s the most time I’ve spent on any book I’ve written because it was so important to me that I do this right.

I’ve wanted to write this book for some time, in part because there’s been a fictional character created by the name of Michael Moore by Fox News and AM Hate Radio. At first I found it humorous, hearing them describe this treacherous, treasonous person. But after a while, I realized that people actually listen and believe what they hear on these shows. People don’t really know who I am.”

At the end of his “Capitalism: A Love Story,’ Moore said he wasn’t going to make another documentary until “I saw the people rise up against Wall Street and corporate America. When that happened, I would be back in the fray. But until then, I had done my work for 20 years making films about those in power, and I was now going to do something else.”

Coincidentally, just as “Here Comes Trouble” hit bookstores, the Occupy Wall Street movement took over the news, and Moore had the

uprising he had hoped for.

“The rebellion goes beyond the people who are camping out,” Moore said. “I saw a poll a couple of weeks ago that said 72 percent of the public believes taxes should be raised on the rich.

Americans have never taken that position. We’ve always wanted the rich to do well, and we’ve been told that if we leave them alone they’ll do well for us. In my dad’s generation, that turned out to be true. The rich built factories and created jobs and allowed those of us in the workingclass to have our own homes and go to college. But that social contract between wealth and labor is gone now.

“I’m very happy with the shift that’s taken place, both in terms of activism in the streets and in what the average American is feeling, like this whole movement to move money out of the big banks and into local banks and credit unions. But it also means I now have to make good on my promise. When I said I wasn’t going to make another documentary until people did something, I thought I would have a lot more time off! Unfortunately — I don’t know unfortunately for who yet — I will be back making a movie next year.”

Tolstoy bio looks at life of ‘impossible genius’

By Peter M. Gianotti Newsday

This month marks 100 years since the death of Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, who lived a life more tempestuous, contradictory, telling and complex than any of the characters he created.

The author of “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina” has been subjected to biographical treatment many times and has survived all intact, including Henri Troyat’s majestic account.

The newest tale of the Georgann Eglinski, titan, “Tolstoy: A Russian retired, Life,” comes from Rosamund Lawrence Bartlett, an English scholar “‘Leaving the Atocha Station’ who specializes in Russian cultural history. Her books

by Ben Lerner. He’s a local author — at least his parents include “Chekhov: Scenes live in the area — and I’ve read good reviews.”

from A Life” and translations of Chekhov’s writings.

Tolstoy was “tied to Russia body and soul,” Bartlett writes. You’ll learn about both.

Her leisurely, sympathetic take on Tolstoy offers a perspective different from earlier ones. She concentrates much less on the literature than on the man; the aristocrat who’d dress like a peasant, the sybarite who’d turn ascetic, the nihilist who’d extol piety, the “devout Orthodox communicant” who’d become a critic of the church.

It’s also, in a way, attuned to this era of reality TV. Bartlett looks at Tolstoy’s family life, especially his troubled marriage.

For all the social, politi-

cal and theological views that would mark his life as “conscience of the nation,” Tolstoy held a very conservative, very common outlook when it came to wife Sonya’s role: She’d give birth to children. But Tolstoy often neglected them even as he wanted to mold and educate her “according to his own tastes.”

The much younger Sonya accepted that stricture for a very long time. She’d also try to kill herself more than once and eventually would be diagnosed as paranoid and hysterical. Sonya finally feared poverty. Tolstoy, in his will, wanted to put all his writing after 1881 in the public domain.

It was always the fragile balance of opposing forces that made Diane Keaton’s face so remarkable — those tilted melancholy eyes above that frequent and infectious smile.

She seemed in a perpetual state of emotional contradiction, which is one of the things that made her such a perfect match, at least on film, for Woody Allen, who as history’s most hopeful pessimist is a master juggler himself.

So it’s not surprising that

McClatchy Newspapers

Keaton’s memoir, “Then Again,” is also an elusive sort of work, part autobiography, part daughterly paean, part love letter to her own children, a book in which portions of her mother’s journals and details of her parents’ travails in old age far outnumber the on-set anecdotes and glamour shots.

Keaton writes not so much in chapters, though there are chapters, but in pieces, some rushed and breathless and vague, others al-

most journalistic in their determination to get the facts right, all of them evocative of her famously elliptical cadence and non sequitur manner, which is just as effective and irritating here as it is on screen.

But truth, like beauty, comes in many packages, and if “Then Again” is not a beautiful book, it seems like a truthful one, revealing a woman still plagued by insecurities, though not enough to keep her from being an actor or writing a memoir,

!"“Grammar Girl’s 101 Words to Sound Smart” by Mignon Fogarty; St. Martin’s Griffin (120 pages, $5.99).

Building on her previous “101 Words” books, Fogarty, aka Grammar Girl, has selected 101 words that stay on the educated side of the educated-pretentious divide, so you’ll sound smart but not “pedantic.”

Each one gets a definition, an etymology and an example or several from literature, journalism and pop culture.

They’re words that you may not encounter or want to use every day, but words that serve a specific purpose that it’s good to know. !"“You Are Not So Smart: Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You’re Deluding Yourself”

by David McRaney; Gotham (302 pages, $22.50) Based on the blog of the same name, “You Are Not So Smart” takes commonly accepted “truths” and looks at psychological research to show why they are, in fact, myths. The explanations are backed up by science, the writing is fresh and accessible, and the topics are fascinating. The book consists of about half expanded and refined blog posts and half brand-new material.

By Lisa McLendon !""“Help! For Writers: 210 Solutions to the Problems Every Writer Faces” by Roy Peter Clark; Little, Brown and Company (304 pages, $22.99).

Writing instructor extraordinaire Roy Peter Clark of the Poynter Institute begins his latest guide with trademark practical advice: “Writing is not magic. It’s a craft, a process, a set of steps.”

Clark identifies seven steps in the writing process — from getting started to making what you’ve written better — then focuses on problems encountered in each of those steps and offers clear, practical solutions.

MIAMI — Michael Moore was standing on the floor of the Democratic National Convention in 2004 when CNN’s Bill Hemmer jabbed a microphone in his face and said “I’ve heard people say they wish Michael Moore was dead.”

“I tried to recall if I’d ever heard a journalist ask anyone that question before on live television,” Moore writes in “Here Comes Trouble,” his collection of autobiographical short stories. “Dan Rather did not ask Saddam Hussein that question. I’m pretty sure Stone Phillips didn’t ask serial killer and cannibal Jeffrey Dahmer, either.

THIS NEW MIRRORLESS interchangeable lens camera is the Nikon V1 and joins a growing market of this new type of camera. Larger than most P&S cameras but much smaller than digital single-lens reflex cameras, these models offer many features, good quality and room to grow for photo enthusiasts.

BEHIND THE LENS

Buy the camera that’s right for you

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

If you haven’t shopped for a camera in several years but are considering a purchase soon, you’ll be surprised at the number of choices. The good news is that quality is up, features are plentiful and there is a price range for everyone. Here’s a breakdown of the three basic types of digital cameras and their pluses and minuses.

Single-lens reflex cameras (DSLR) + Larger sensors for the bestquality image. + Optical viewfinder. You hold your camera to your eye to see what the lens sees. + No shutter lag or delay between pressing the shutter and the picture being taken.

- Big, heavy and loud, but versatile with multiple lens choices and accessories.

- Typically more expensive.

- Lenses are extra.

You can photograph anything and everything with a DSLR camera and the proper lenses.

It may get heavy on your shoulders on an all-day stroll, but if you want large image files for big prints, need to shoot sports or require options in lens choice, it is hard to beat a good DSLR. Examples on both ends of the price range (body only) are the Canon EOS Rebel T2i ($579.00) and the Nikon D3x ($8,000.00).

Compact/Point and Shoot cameras + Versatile, very portable, extremely quiet and less expensive. + Features can include macro capability, in-camera panoramas and video modes.

- Small sensors. Quality can suffer in low light or when making large prints.

- Lack of optical viewfinder.

Requires use of rear LCD monitor to frame subject.

- Some degree of shutter lag.

- Lens permanently attached to camera.

A compact camera can be with you at all times, a big advantage.

But don’t expect to shoot sports or capture quality images in low light. If all you require is to post images to Facebook, make prints below 11-by-14 inches and can live without an optical viewfinder and a quick response shutter, you’ll be well served by a consumer P&S. Examples on both ends of the price range are the Fujifilm FinePix AV200 ($65.00) and the Canon S100 ($430.00).

Fair Trade Market Black Friday ushered in several arts-andcraft markets over the weekend, but its the Fair Trade Market that has our attention.

Going until Saturday, the market offers art, crafts, jewelry, clothing and more items all made by fair-trade artisans from around the world.

Prices vary, but the biggest selling point, aside from helping people from around the world by buying their wares, is that many of these items are one-ofa-kind. It’s kind of hard to beat that with an iTunes gift card. streets, Kansas City, Mo. Tickets: tickets.kcsymphony.org.

He has been taking guitar lessons from Diane Gillenwater, Americana Music Academy’s executive director, and now he and his wife, Suzy, play at informal jams in and around Lawrence two to three times a week.

“The Americana has got some great instructors,” Bennett says. “My wife was taking fiddle lessons from Diane, and I would attend different jam sessions with her at the academy and at people’s houses. I kind of got to the point where instead of sitting around and watching Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo and listening, I thought I’d GARY BENNETT, A STUDENT AT AMERICANA MUSIC ACADEMY, try and participate.”
