B u t then the unexpected happened on that cold Saturday L INDA in Novem- P ATTERSON ber at Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium. A fellow fan sitting just two rows away had a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest, due to the occlusion of his right coronary artery. As he fell back, a spectator caught his head. Fans began to call for a doctor. Linda and Dani are not doctors, but nurses like them are called to save thousands of lives every day. And thats what they did on Nov. 23. For their efforts of saving the life of the K-State fan, a recognition ceremony will take place in Manhattan before the K-State and Oklahoma State basketball game today. Recognition during the game is scheduled as well. I dont feel like we did that much, Linda said. I feel that the glory goes to God.

rapped in a baby blue blanket, newborn Sean DeMario-Smith received gentle touches on his face from Gianna Rivera. Its very exciting, Rivera said about being a first-time mother, while caressing Geary Community Hospitals first baby of 2014. Born on New Years Day at the Martha K. Hoover Womens Health Center, Sean came later than expected. The due date was Dec. 26. We waited nine months to see his little face, his father Sean Smith said. Hes just adorable. But due to medical issues, there was a time when the parents wondered if they would have a bundle of joy. Doctors told them they wouldnt be able to have children. The 7-pound, 11-ounce boy is their miracle baby. When we found out that I was pregnant, we really didnt believe it, Rivera said. After receiving a Geary Bear stuffed animal from GCH Chief Executive Officer Dr. Joseph Stratton, Smith continued to talk about the labor and knowing he was going to be a father for the first time. I was crying..., Smith said about the emotional experience. With a grin, Smith talked about the occasionally little sounds he makes and his nickname of Piglet.

He squeals, Smith said. Sometimes he sounds like a little piggy. The child is named after his father. Smith said his last name is hyphenated because Rivera, of Miami, is the only child in her family. We wanted both names to get carried on, Smith said.

Kansas Division of Emergency Management officials are urging Kansans to prepare for snow and dangerous sub-zero temperatures and wind chills this weekend into early next week. The National Weather Service is forecasting two cold fronts with the first bringing colder temperatures into Kansas Saturday with snowfall accumulations ranging from a quarter inch to an inch and a half. Then dangerously low temperatures are expected to move into much of the state Sunday with winds of 20 to 25 miles an hour and wind chills of 10 to 30 degrees below zero Sunday night through Tuesday morning. This is an extremely dangerous forecast and taking precautions to ensure your safety and your familys safety is essential, said Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, director of Kansas Division of Emergency Management and adjutant general. Simply, put, these temperatures and wind chills can be deadly. If you must travel in these conditions, make sure your cell phone is charged, your gas tank is full, and you have plenty of items to

help you stay safe if your vehicle stalls or you are in an accident and have to wait for help, Tafanelli added. Make sure your home emergency kit has what you need to survive if there is a power outage in this bitter cold, Tafanelli said. This includes blankets, a safe alternate heat source, nonperishable foods and high-energy snacks, bottled water, flashlights, a battery-powered radio, extra batteries, medicines, a first-aid kit and other items for keeping your children and pets comfortable in this situation.

County Commissioners look ahead to 2014

B Y C HASE JORDAN

c.jordan@thedailyunion.net
With a new year underway, Geary County Commissioners will continue to make important decisions in their chamber. In 2014, some of those topics affecting community members may include budgets, working with Junction City officials and increasing revenue for the county. But Commission Chair Ben Bennett said a lot of decisions may come down to what happens in Topeka with state officials. Its kind of hard to make plans when you dont know whats coming out the legislature, Bennett said. Securing the historic courthouse and Kansas House Bill 2052 will continue to be an ongoing topic. Those discussions regarding the bill began in the early months of 2013. The law allows people with conceal-and-carry permits to carry guns into public buildings, such as

Following the presentation of Nuncrackers, everyone met in Deiters Hall for refreshments provided by Sandra Stevens. Members and guests enjoying the play were: Marilyn Roles, Evelyn Avery, Noreen Zumbrunn, Dan Zumbrunn, Marge Mosher, Maralee Bray, Edith Scripter, Sharon Fann, Phyllis Kolling, Hank Kolling, Jean Chamberlin, Sandra Stevens and Sharon Allaman. Secret Pal names were revealed with their Christmas gift exchange. Also, secret pal names were chosen for the following year. Program books for 2014 were received. The January meeting will be held in the home of Evelyn Avery on Jan. 15 at 1:30 p.m. Ladies are reminded to bring Bingo treats for Chapman Valley Manor.

the courthouse and other offices, if there are no metal detectors or security guards at entrances. County officials are on track to begin construction at the courthouse with one entrance, monitored by Geary County Sheriffs deputies. Most of those decisions have to be made, Bennett said. We just have to get it done. Geary County Sheriff Tony Wolf recently sent documentation requesting a four-year extension. The extension gives county officials more time to make security plans for buildings. Previously, the county applied for a six-month extension, which came to an end on Wednesday. Plans are also in the works to secure the Geary County office building as well. One of the ideas is to have one entrance for the public and another for employees. The installation of cameras to monitor the facilities has also been mentioned during discussions.

Bennett is also up for election this year. Hes unsure if hell take a stab at another term. Ill make an announcement after I review things, Bennett said about running again. When it comes to Commissioner Larry Hicks, examining ways to increase revenue sources in the community is on his mind. I think having new revenue sources to help us meet the needs of the taxpayers is going to be crucial, Hicks said. One way to do that is to increase the local transient guest tax at lodging facilities, room rentals and other sleeping accommodations. Hicks believes the increase could benefit a facility like the C.L. Hoover Opera House. I think thats something we should be able to talk about indepth, Hicks said. Hicks also wants to improve collaboration efforts with Junction City leaders. One thought is to share services.

Im hoping that well be able to accomplish that, Hicks said about working together. The county is also preparing for the Geary County Health Departments transition as a county-run division in 2015. Junction City will stop funding at the end of the year due to financial issues. Hicks said its important to continue to support departments dealing with financial challenges from the state. The state continues to put us in a position where were not getting anticipated forms of revenue that weve been getting in the past, Hicks said. Were going to have to work even harder with our legislation to ensure they can make a strong case for us in the house and the senate. Infrastructure and road maintenance are other issue commissioners will keep and eye on as well. Hicks said he wants to do a full assessment of Public Works aging fleet.

The situation that this gentleman found himself in was unlike any situation weve all had here.

in was unlike any situation weve all had here, he said. On Monday, the Geary County Commission approved $10,000 for the Sheriffs Department and Geary County Emergency Management to purchase a water craft more suitable for winter rescue missions. The Junction City police and fire departments have verbally agreed to contribute funds toward training and equipment. Officials have estimated such a craft could cost more than $4,000. The additional funds will be used for training and equipment. Multiple agencies assisted the GCSD with the recovery effort. The search included numerous boats with sidescan sonar. Cold water dive teams were brought in from the Mission Township Fire Department, Overland Park Police Department and Saline County.

I want to express my sincerest thank you to everybody involved, Wolf said. Even in the worst of conditions, they still wanted to go (search). The only thing that stopped us was if the weather was too bad or the ice was too bad. Other assisting agencies were Geary County Emergency Management, Kansas Department of Emergency Management, Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Law Enforcement and Parks Division, Fort Riley Directorate of Emergency Services, Fort Riley Police Department and the First Infantry Division. Given the extremely perilous weather and lake conditions, I am convinced that Thomass recovery would not have been possible without the teamwork, professionalism and determination of our local, regional, state and other involved partners, Funk said.

Goodman dies at 83
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK George Goodman, a journalist, business author and award-winning television host who under the pseudonym Adam Smith made economics accessible to millions of people, died Friday at age 83. Goodmans son, Mark Goodman, said his father died at his home in Miami after a long battle with the bone marrow disorder myelofibrosis. Starting in the 1950s, the elder Goodman had a long, diverse and accomplished career, whether as a founder of New York Magazine, as a best-selling business author or as the host of Adam Smiths Money World. He prided himself on making arcane debates among economists and business leaders understandable, often using an anecdotal or irreverent approach to explain a complicated issue. He has been credited with coining the mocking catchphrase, Assume a can opener, as a parody of academic jargon. I have always believed that if you dramatize a story, you can make it comprehensible while at the same time maintaining a relatively high level of sophistication, he once said. Adam Smiths Money World was a multiple Emmy winner that aired on PBS stations from 1984-1996. He was also an executive editor at Esquire, a member of The New York Times editorial board and a commentator for NBC television. Before his success in the business world, Goodman had written novels and worked in Hollywood as a screenwriter.

Such periodic requests are somewhat formulaic but required since the program started in 2006. The latest request would be the first since two conflicting court decisions about whether the program is lawful and since a presidential advisory panel recommended that the NSA no longer be allowed to collect and store the phone records and search them without obtaining separate court approval for each search. Also Friday, government lawyers turned to U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to block one federal judges decision that threatens the NSA phone records program. The opposing lawyer who spearheaded the effort that led to the ruling said he hopes to take the issue directly to the Supreme Court. The Justice Department filed a one-page notice of appeal asking the appeals court to overturn U.S. Dis-

JERUSALEM U.S. Secretary of State John Kerrys closed-door diplomacy to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinians has burst into a public spat, with both sides trading blistering criticisms, Republican senators showing up in Jerusalem to argue Israels side, and Palestinian demonstrators protesting his visit. Kerry is on his 10th visit to the region to try to craft a peace treaty that would create a Palestinian state alongside Israel. He met for three hours on Friday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Later in the day, Kerry traveled to Ramallah, West Bank, to speak with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Although battered by sniping from all sides, Kerry remained upbeat at least publicly. Asked if he was making progress, Kerry replied that progress is being made every day. Earlier, about 150 Palestinians demonstrators marched through the streets of downtown Ramallah to protest Kerrys visit. They carried Palestinian flags and signs that said: The northern, central and southern Jordan Valley are a genuine part of Palestinian sovereignty. The West Banks Jordan Valley is a strategic area along the border with Jordan that Israeli hardliners, including members of Netanyahus Likud Party, say must be annexed by Israel for its own security. So far, the two sides have engaged in about 20 rounds of negotiations, which have entered a more intense phase. Kerry is asking both leaders to start making tough,

highly political decisions in hopes of narrowing differences and agree on a framework that will outline a final peace pact. The goal is for the framework, or series of guidelines, to address all core issues, including borders between Israel and a future Palestinian state, Palestinian refugees and conflicting claims to the holy city of Jerusalem. No agreement on a framework is likely during Kerrys visit. Political activist Abdallah Maslamani said a proposed framework that would guide negotiations on a deal protect the security interests of the terror state of occupation, a reference to Israel. One night earlier, the digs were coming from the other side. Netanyahu lashed out at Abbas, accusing him of embracing terrorists as heroes. Netanyahu criticized Abbas homecoming for more than two dozen Palestinians released earlier this week from Israeli jails where they had served time for deadly attacks against Israelis. The Palestinian leader never condoned their crimes, but Netanyahu took offense. To glorify the murders of innocent women and men as heroes is an outrage, Netanyahu said, dampening hope that much progress would be made on the contours of an eventual peace accord during Kerrys visit. On Friday, Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, responded to Netanyahu remarks, saying that even if Abbas were Mother Teresa, the Israelis would find a way to accuse Abbas of terrorism

Government moves to appeal surveillance ruling

WASHINGTON The Obama administration moved Friday to ask the secretive U.S. spy court to allow the National Security Agency to continue collecting every Americans telephone records every day, in the midst of dueling decisions in two civilian federal courts about whether the surveillance program is constitutional. U.S. officials were in the process of requesting an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to renew the NSA phone collection program for 90 more

Larry Klayman, who filed the class-action suit against President Barack Obama and top administration national security officials, said he intends to petition the federal appeals court next week to send the case directly to the Supreme Court. Klayman said the move was justified because the NSA case was a matter of great public importance. There are exigent circumstances here, Klayman said. We cant allow this situation to continue. The NSAs continuing to spy on everybody. Judges sitting on the secretive spy court have repeatedly approved the program for 90-day periods. They also have repeatedly upheld the constitutionality of the program a judicial bulwark that held strong until Leons surprise decision last month.

Our view Decision in school funding should be soon

ith the arrival of the New Year, a ruling in the public school financing case is expected any day from the state Supreme Court. Though it is not a sure thing, many observers expect the court to uphold a three-judge panels decision nearly a year ago that the Kansas Legislature violated the state constitution when it reduced public school funding during the recession. In doing so, it violated a previous court order from 2005 to put more money into the schools. As it now stands, base funding per student is $3,812, down from a high of $4,438 in the 2008-09 school year. As we have written before, we believe the Legislature broke its promise when it slashed state funding to public schools, and that they are inadequately financed. It would cost the state an additional $450 million annually to reach the funding level agreed upon in 2005 under the previous court order. That will require either deep cuts elsewhere and there isnt much left to cut after years of stripping state government or restoring some of the income tax cuts pushed through by Gov. Sam Brownback. We greatly prefer the latter, especially since the state has not seen any indication that these cuts have created jobs or boosted the economy as promised. Primarily what the tax cuts have done is force the Legislature to reduce funding to higher education, keep in place a sales tax increase that was supposed to end, and further shift the burden to local property taxpayers. Increases in local property taxes are being used as a scare tactic by a conservative think tank that recently conducted a poll related to the school finance lawsuit. One poll question claimed property taxes would automatically increase if the lower court decision was upheld, and asked taxpayers if courts ought have the final say on how much taxpayer money is spent on education. When phrased in that manner, many Kansans said no. Trouble is, that assumption is not necessarily accurate. In fact, many school districts that have raised local rates likely would cut them if state funding were restored to previous levels. That would certainly be the politically astute move to make. The state funding morass is likely to become a major election issue in next years governors race, especially if an expected attack on the state judiciarys independence is launched. We should know soon which direction the state will go once the court ruling is handed down, right about the time the Legislature returns for the 2014 session later this month.

Rewards of independence are many E

arlier this year, one of the mainstream media networks was planning to do a special on my retirement from neurosurgery. They recorded a lecture I gave at my medical school, as well as one given at a high school in Detroit. They also accompanied me to my old stomping grounds, where many of the neighbors came out to greet me and talk about old times. I was struck by some of their comments, including the notion that I always had lofty, unrealistic dreams, but that they would enjoy hearing about them anyway. Someone else told me that people would always murmur among themselves when I approached, Here comes Mr. Know-It-All. Lets get out of here. While the network decided not to air the special for some reason unknown to me, it was still a valuable opportunity for me to catch up with old acquaintances. Similarly, some years ago, I attended the 25th reunion of my high school graduating class. The thing that struck me the most was that many of the really cool guys were dead. Many of my other classmates told me how proud they were of my accomplishments and asked me if I remembered how they used to encourage me. Of course I did not no such encouragement took place but peoples memories tend to change over time. Many of my fellow members of the Horatio Alger Society of Distinguished Americans have recounted similar stories of being regarded as different and not always being part of the in crowd when they were growing up. The Horatio Alger Society inducts 10 to 12 new members each year. These are people who grew up under very difficult circumstances and went on to achieve at the highest levels of their respective endeavors. Many of their names would be quite familiar to the public. Are their stories aberrant, or are we truly the captains of our own destiny? In the game of chess, pawns are just used for the purposes of the royal pieces. In real life, many in power selfishly use pawns average citizens while at the same time vociferously proclaiming that they are the only ones looking out for the interests of the pawns, who happily follow their commands, thinking that this royal contingent has their interests in mind. However, in a chess game, a pawn can become any one of the royal pieces, if it can make it to the other side of the board. The opponent will do almost anything to keep one from reaching its goal, because that would interfere with the power structure. If they can keep the pawns on their side of the board, where it is much safer, the status quo can be maintained. Although no analogy is perfect, it is pretty easy to see the point here. By keeping large groups of Americans complacent and afraid of challenging authority, the position, wealth and status of those in power is secure. The last thing they want is for independentthinking citizens to realize that this country was designed for them and not for an arrogant ruling class. They dread the possibility of people scrutinizing their words and deeds, and holding them accountable for the same. By using strong-arm tactics and a sheepishly compliant news media, the supposed guardians of truth, they have become very successful at pawn control. I cant remember how many times

during my medical career I was told, You cant do that; no one has done that before or Do you think all the incredibly bright people who have preceded you didnt think of that? Certainly, if I had listened to those comments instead of critically analyzing the problems and using the triumphs and mistakes of others to produce innovative solutions, my career path would have been considerably different. We have these magnificent brains with outstanding reasoning ability in order to be creative and to critically analyze what we hear and see. We must stop acting like pawns and start acting like masters of our own destiny. We should not listen to those who say there is too much corruption for honesty and common sense to succeed. We cannot believe that our enemies are too powerful to combat, and we should not accept that the media will never change back to being stalwarts of integrity and truth. We can play the role of nice little pawn or we can be smart, courageous and move out of our comfort zone to accomplish something truly great for our future. It might be a lonely journey at first, but eventually others will see the light. We will shed the pawn mentality and be promoted to the position of proud and independent citizens of America.

Letter to the Editor Still a problem

Income inequality creates gaps

CYNTHIA TUCKER
Commentary cliches in Washington, often muttered by pandering politicians and comfortable journalists who have little real understanding of the effect that income inequality has had on the lives of ordinary Americans. But the fallout is real enough. Since the 1970s, the wages of working-class Americans those without college degrees -- have stagnated and fallen further and further behind. Meanwhile, the wealthy have only become more prosperous. Despite what you may believe to be true, the individuals work ethic has little to do with those results. No matter how hardworking you are, a job at Walmart wont give you much in the way of financial security. And if you are born to parents who can give you a trust fund, it doesnt matter how little you work; youll still have plenty of security. The trends that have eaten away at the great American middle including globalization and technological gains have been evident for decades, but the Great Recession accelerated the consequences. Even as economic data show huge gains in productivity, the jobless rate remains high, stuck at around 7 percent. (Translation: Companies have found ways to get more and more work done with technology, whether its through eliminating bank tellers and installing more ATMs, or using more robots in factories.) This is a complex problem with no easy answers, but we could make a start toward solutions by looking squarely at the issue and refusing to call it by other names. Here are a few things its not: indolence, racism, the failure of the welfare state. Mitt Romney became appropriately infamous for his condescending dismissal of the 47 percent who he claimed doesnt want to work, but that wrong-headed idea doesnt stop with Romney. U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., running for the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate, has proposed that poor children sweep school cafeteria floors in exchange for free or reduced lunches, a deal that would get the myth out of their head that there is such a thing as a free lunch, he said. But liberals often get it wrong, too confusing rampant income inequality with racism. The legacy of racism has certainly contributed to the wealth gap between black and white Americans, but class is now a bigger factor in a childs future than race. President Obamas children are virtually assured a bright future, while millions of their cohort among the working classes are not. The class divide is one of the biggest problems now facing the country, and its time we started to confront it. Judge Boyds unjust sentence is just the provocation to force us to take it on.

recently received some very good news from the Friends of the Animals in response to my previous letter. Recent changes at the animal shelter have enabled the staff to save the cats in the shelter. Only two cats have been euthanized since October. Both were too far gone. There is still a problem finding homes for cats. They are such wonderful companions and require so little. We still have a big problem with people who abandon their pets. Please, give these animals, who love and rely on you, the care they deserve. You will get back so much more than you give.

About this page

y now, youve surely heard of the Texas drunken driving case that has sparked national outrage angering victims, upsetting psychologists and sending Twitter into overdrive. A 16-year-old who killed four people while legally intoxicated was sentenced to 10 years probation and treatment in a tony rehab facility. As unusual as that example of mercy may be, it was the rationale offered by a defense expert that drove observers into a frenzy. A psychologist hired by defense attorneys told the court that the young mans tragically irresponsible actions were the fault of his rich parents, who didnt rear him with sufficient discipline. As a consequence, G. Dick Miller said, the teenager suffered from affluenza and didnt know right from wrong. (Many other psychologists have disagreed vociferously, saying there is no such diagnosis.) Its hard to stomach that notion, especially since Judge Jean Boyd of the Fort Worth Juvenile Court seems to have swallowed it whole. I cant imagine how bitter and resentful not to mention mystified the victims families must be. But Boyd might have unintentionally done us a favor by opening the door to a dank, dark room that we have worked too hard to keep closed. She has let out the putrid aromas of economic inequality, which we have long ignored. Wealthy people, the judges sentence reminds us, have huge advantages over ordinary folk, despite an American mythology about equal opportunity. And the opportunity gap is growing as inequality cleaves the country into haves and have-nots. The very terms wage gap and disappearing middle class have become

The stranger in my house

The Daily Union. Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014

Dennis the Menace

Marmaduke

Dear Annie: Years ago, Ann Landers published an essay about a woman who sees a stranger in the mirror. Can you reprint it? Its very apropos to what some of my friends and I are going through. Northern California Girl Dear Northern California: Here is an edited version of Rose Mulas piece, copyrighted in 1999. If you would like to read more of Roses work, it is available at www.seniorwomen.com. The Stranger in My House by Rose Madeline Mula A very weird thing has happened. A strange old lady has moved into my house. I have no idea who she is, where she came from, or how she got in. I certainly did not invite her. All I know is that one day, she wasnt there, and the next day, she was. She is a clever old lady, and manages to keep out of sight for the most part, but whenever I pass a mirror, I catch a glimpse of her. And whenever I look in the mirror to check my appearance, there she is, hogging the whole thing, completely obliterating my gorgeous face and body. This is very rude. I have tried screaming at her, but she just screams back. If she insists on hanging around, the least she could do is offer to pay part of the rent, but no. Every once in a while, I find a dollar bill stuck in a coat pocket or some loose change under a sofa cushion, but it is not nearly enough. I dont want to jump to conclusions, but I think she is stealing money from me. I go to the ATM and withdraw $100, and a few days later, its all gone. I certainly dont spend money that fast, so I can only conclude the old lady is pilfering from me. Youd think she would spend some of that money to buy wrinkle cream. Lord knows she needs it. And money isnt the only thing I think she is stealing. Food seems to disappear at an alarming rate especially the good stuff like ice cream, cookies and candy. I cant seem to keep that stuff in the house anymore. She must have a real sweet tooth, but shed better watch it, because she is really packing on the pounds. I suspect she realizes this, and to make herself feel better, she is tampering with my scale to make me think I am putting on weight, too. For an old lady, she is quite childish. She likes to play nasty games, like going into my closets when Im not home and altering my clothes

Annies mailbox
so they dont fit. And she messes with my files and papers so I cant find anything. This is particularly annoying since I am extremely neat and organized. She also fiddles with my VCR so it does not record what I have carefully and correctly programmed. She has found other imaginative ways to annoy me. She gets into my mail, newspapers and magazines before I do, and blurs the print so I cant read it. And she has done something really sinister to the volume controls on my TV, radio and telephone. Now, all I hear are mumbles and whispers. She has done other things like make my stairs steeper, my vacuum cleaner heavier and all my knobs and faucets harder to turn. She even made my bed higher so that getting into and out of it is a real challenge. Lately, she has been fooling with my groceries before I put them away, applying glue to the lids, making it almost impossible for me to open the jars. Is this any way to repay my hospitality? She has taken the fun out of shopping for clothes. When I try something on, she stands in front of the dressing room mirror and monopolizes it. She looks totally ridiculous in some of those outfits, plus, she keeps me from seeing how great they look on me. Just when I thought she couldnt get any meaner, she proved me wrong. She came along when I went to get my picture taken for my drivers license, and just as the camera shutter clicked, she jumped in front of me! No one is going to believe that the picture of that old lady is me.

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21April 19). An old song suggests that theres no business like show business, and in a strange way, youll feel like thats exactly the business youre in. Youll dazzle your audience, distracting them from behind-the-scenes mechanics. TAURUS (April 20May 20). Recently, boredom has led to overeating. Now the opposite will happen. Youll concentrate on the efforts that nourish your soul and find that youre not hungry enough to remember to eat. GEMINI (May 21June 21). You cant bear to see anyone suffer, and youll go to great lengths to avoid suffering altogether except in media. Theres something addictive about seeing the fictional characters you love move in and out of peril. CANCER (June 22July 22). Sometimes the very worst vantage point for predicting where a creature will go next is the view from inside the creature. You may think you know yourself, but you are too close to the subject to detect larger patterns. LEO (July 23Aug. 22). Can you really do a job well if part of your mind is occupied with trying to come up with an exit strategy? Youll be successful when you commit fully and completely, if only for a few hours at a time. VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22). You are gentle with the very young and the very old, and you dont stop there. Mostly people are more fragile than they seem, and unguarded words are as dangerous as knives unsheathed. LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 23). You have friends who dont listen well. Try to appreciate these folks for their other talents and strengths. They can complement your life in interesting ways when you stop expecting them to hear you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Have you ever answered every question on an Internet quiz only to get an internal server error as an end result? Outdated systems will deny you your due. Stick to whats known and proven. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Helping someone you love day in and day out may look to others like extreme selfsacrifice. But you truly get something from the experience. You learn and become a stronger person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You may have to share the credit for a success that is yours, all yours. By greasing the wheels, you show good will and make it more likely that others will help you in the future. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Youll do more than youre paid to do, more than is expected of you and probably more than you want to do. Once you get in a cycle of giving, its hard for you to stop. PISCES (Feb. 19March 20). You will be drawn to unpredictable people, and youll enjoy guessing what theyll do next, only to get it wrong. As long as everyone is having fun, inconsistencies are exciting.

Dead inmates family seeking $1M in compensation

By The Associated Press
TOPEKA Relatives of a man who died at a Kansas prison while serving a life sentence for killing a woman are seeking $1 million in damages and threatening to file a lawsuit. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the family of Roger Hollister alleges in a demand letter that staff at the El Dorado Correctional Facility infirmary failed to adequately treat the 61-year-old before he died March 20. Hollister was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of 58-year-old Patricia Kimmi of rural Horton. She disappeared in November 2009, and her remains were found in May 2010. The familys attorney sent the letter through certified mail last month to the Kansas Department of Corrections, the Nemaha County Attorneys Office, the Atchison County Sheriffs Office, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and the prisons former health care contractor, Correct Care Solutions LLC. Claimants are seeking $1,000,000 in damages, according to the letter, which was sent on behalf of the estate of Roger Hollister, Hollisters widow, Rebecca Hollister, of Topeka, and Jennifer M. Norman, the surviving daughter. If this claim in the amount of $1,000,000 is not satisfied or denied within 30 days, a lawsuit will be filed that will make every claim allowed under the law. Corrections Department spokesman Jeremy Barclay, Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert and Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie said they were limited in what they could say because of the legal nature of the letter. Officials with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and Correct Care Solutions couldnt immediately be reached for comment.

Kansas Statehouse visitor center opens to public

B Y JOHN M ILbuR N

Associated Press
TOPEKA Kansas residents and officials used words Thursday like cool and awesome to describe the restored grandeur of the Statehouse as the doors to a new visitor center opened. The festivities marked the completion of the nearly $330 million restoration project that took 13 years. Gov. Sam Brownback, Topeka Mayor Larry Wolgast and members of the Kansas Historical Society cut a ribbon to officially open the new center. Its pretty cool, said Travis Johnson, 8, who came to the event with his Cub Scout den. I want to come back again so I can see the dome. The space becomes the public entrance to the building, which was constructed over 37 years starting in 1866. Visitors will enter the building from the north at the ground level and pass through limestone corridors that form the foundation. Photographs and other artifacts tell the history of the state, its people and landscape. Thank you for what you have done to make our city such a top-class city, Wolgast said. The renovations started in 2001 under Republican Gov. Bill Graves. Theyve included upgrades to the buildings offices, meeting rooms and mechanical systems. Some previously drab rooms and hallways have been restored to their original 19th-century opulence.

Early estimates of the work pegged the cost at between $90 million and $120 million, but that was before legislative leaders added an underground parking garage and approved an expansion of the basement for new offices. The state also discovered unexpected needs for repairing the exterior stone and replacing copper on the buildings roof and dome. I have some prepared remarks, but before I get into them, isnt this awesome, Brownback said during ribbon cutting. This is just awesome. During the renovation, crews discovered many unknown features of the building, including fireplaces, ornate stenciling and doorways between rooms that were closed off during previous restoration efforts. Much of the exterior work has been completed, though some of the final pieces of landscaping wont be installed until the spring when planting is more conducive. A concrete driveway that previously encircled the building was replaced with paver stones. New lighting was installed along sidewalks, but lights that previously illuminated the building were not replaced. Michael Flax, a Topeka junior high school principal, said the renovations were impressive. He made his first visit to the building two years ago when construction was still ongoing. I think its a showpiece worth every dime, Flax said. The historical society

Associated Press manages the space and a new gift shop, which includes souvenir pieces of the original green copper dome that has been replaced. The society estimates that the renovated Statehouse could attract more than 150,000 visitors annually, based on similar experiences nationwide at other renovated capitol buildings.

One in fair to poor condition following I-70 accident

Less-than-favorable road conditions at times made travel perilous Wednesday and Thursday. Just before 11 a.m. Thursday, area emergency personnel responded to an accident with injuries in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 between the 299 and 300 mile markers. The Kansas Highway Patrol reported Christel ChaundoinConnell, 47, of Junction City, was driving a 2004 Dodge Stratus in the left eastbound lane when she lost control. The car spun and struck a 2010 GMC Yukon, which was hauling a trailer.

The Stratus appeared to have suffered significant damage and was stopped on a bridge. A passenger in the Stratus, Timothy Connell, 50, of Junction City, was injured. Junction City Fire Department and EMS personnel transported him to Geary Community Hospital. Connell later was transported to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka in fair to poor condition, a GCH official said. Stormont-Vail officials couldnt confirm Connells condition Friday morning. Chaundoin-Connell suffered a possible injury, the KHP reported, but wasnt transported. After it was struck by the Stra-

tus, the Yukon, driven by Teresa Ellis, 47, of Salina, hit the bridge guardrail, went down the embankment and hit another guardrail. Ellis was not injured. Travel conditions began to deteriorate Wednesday after the Junction City area received about 1.8 inches of snow, according to a precipitation report from Chuck Otte, Kansas State University Geary County Research and Extension agent. On Wednesday, the Geary County Sheriffs Department reported three accidents, one of which caused minor injuries. The first accident occurred at about 4:40 p.m. near I-70 westbound mile marker 303.

Deputies reported a vehicle driven by Raymond Kamila of Fort Carson, Colo., slid on a snowpacked patch of road in the southbound lane of the K-18 bypass while merging onto I-70. Kamilas vehicle slid through the guardrail and over an embankment. No injuries were reported. At 5:04 p.m., deputies responded to I-70 westbound mile marker 299 for a head-on, two-vehicle accident with injuries. An accident report stated Justin Thurlow of Wakefield was driving a maroon 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 westbound when a white 1997 Pontiac Trans Am driven by Jimmy Ward of Solomon lost control while traveling eastbound,

went through the median and into oncoming traffic. Wards vehicle struck Thurlows head-on, deputies stated. A passenger in Thurlows vehicle was transported to Geary Community Hospital with minor injuries. About 40 minutes later, another single-vehicle accident occurred on the K-18 bypass. Deputies reported George Voss of Bearden, Ark., was driving south in a gray 2007 Dodge Charger. As Voss attempted to merge onto I-70, the Charger slid into the guardrail, which already had been struck. No injuries were reported. tion in the early 1980s and then as a licensed practical nurse for Craig. In the mid1990s, she was a registered nurse.

SAVING

Linda began working for Geary Community Hospital in 1980 and retired in 2009. She came back to work PRN for the facility in Dr. Tom Craigs clinic two months later. She spent the majority of her 29-year career at GCH as an emergency department nurse. We had nothing, Linda said about the incident and having the proper equipment. It was just my daughter on her knees trying to push life into a heart that stopped beating. After her grandson Trav-

is Mears called 911, Linda talked to the dispatcher, guiding EMS to their location with screaming fans. I hope this dispatcher hears me and I hope she doesnt think Im a nut with all this noise in the background, Linda said. Dani continued performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) while her mother talked to emergency officials. It was pretty tiring, especially in 24-degree weather and wearing a heavy coat, Dani said. She never lost sight of trying to save his life. I didnt hear anything, Dani said. I just stayed focused on him. I couldnt

hear any part of the game. The patient was taken out of the stadium and transported to Mercy Regional Medical Center. About half an hour later, security told them he was speaking again. Of course we cheered, Linda said. It was a nice feeling. Dani, a registered nurse at Stormont-Vail Regional Medical Center in Topeka, is looking forward to seeing the patient again, face-toface. Im glad that I get to meet him and Im glad that hes OK, Dani said. During the incident, the Pattersons received support from other fans and emer-

MANHATTAN Although Kansas State has its youngest team in 36 years, but coach Deb Patterson wants her team to move beyond its early season youth. Ashia Woods scored a career-high 27 points and Leticia Romero added 20 points and five rebounds in the Wildcats 92-63 loss to No. 9 Baylor on Thursday night in the teams Big 12 opener. This league is full of teams with their own unique style and theyll put it to you if youre not tough and fierce, Patterson said. Were in league play now. Our freshmen need to be sophomores, our sophomores need to be juniors and our juniors need to be seniors in their mentality. Weve just got to get more trains on the track. Patterson was pleased, though, with her leading duos play. This was a top 10 team in the country and look at the numbers these two posted, Patterson said. If youre Baylor defensively, these are the two kids youre saying that you better guard because no one else is hurting you. They still answered the call. Odyssey Sims scored 40 points and Sune Agbuke had 16 points and 14 rebounds for the Lady Bears (11-1, 1-0). Sims shot 12 for 19 from the field and 12 for 16 on free throws as Baylor won its 50th straight Big 12 game. Sims, who came in averaging just over 30 points per game, scored 15 in the first half points on 5-for-7 shooting. Two free throws from Woods cut the Bears lead to 15-10 with 13:13 left in the first half and that was as close as the Please see KSU Women, 2B

There will be no local television blackouts in the NFL this weekend. The Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals and Green Bay Packers said Friday that their weekend wild-card playoff games are sellouts. Normally, teams must sell out 72 hours before kickoff to have a game broadcast in their local market. The NFL gave the Colts, Bengals and Packers an extra day to do it. The Colts host Kansas City on Saturday. On Sunday, the Packers host San Francisco and the Bengals host San Diego. In each case, corporations stepped up to buy big blocks of the remaining tickets, including retailer Meijer in Indy, Associated Bank in Green Bay and P&G in Cincinnati. Many will be distributed to military families and veterans.

GM John Dorseys make over guides Chiefs to playoffs

B Y D aVe S K retta

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. John Dorsey is a man comfortable in his own skin. He may be even more comfortable in a gray Chiefs sweatshirt and a pair of khaki pants. It seems he has seven of each, those sweatshirts and khakis, one for each day of the week. Dorsey laughs in a hearty baritone when asked about his ensemble, but comfort is a big deal to him. Its one of the reasons Dorsey kept turning down overtures when he worked in Green Bay, and also why he ultimately decided to accept the general manager job in Kansas City last January. It simply fit, loose and relaxed, just like a sweatshirt. Now, after taking on a franchise in disarray one that won just two games a year ago and embarking on a massive rebuilding job, Dorsey has helped usher the Chiefs into the playoffs, where theyll open against AFC South champion Indianapolis on Saturday.

In an interview with The Associated Press this week, Dorsey pulled back the curtain on how the turnaround happened: The decisions to give wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and punter Dustin Colquitt long-term contracts, luring free agents such as Sean Smith and Donnie Avery, what went into selecting Eric Fisher first overall

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell has reportedly interviewed for Detroits coaching vacancy. In a story posted on the Lions website, Caldwell says Detroit is an unusual opportunity, because a talented quarterback and terrific receiver are already in place. Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson have raised expectations for the Lions, who fired coach Jim Schwartz after going 7-9 this season. Caldwell went 26-22 in three seasons as the coach in Indianapolis, where he worked with Peyton Manning. The Colts reached the Super Bowl in Caldwells first season as coach but lost to New Orleans in February 2010. Schwartz was fired after Detroit dropped six of its last seven games, blowing a chance to win the NFC North.

in the draft, and how he developed depth on the roster. He also stressed, on several occasions, that the rebuilding isnt complete. Dorsey envisions a franchise that is always in the playoffs, one hoisting trophies regularly. Its nice that were here, but by no means are we content, Dorsey said at an office inside the practice facility. We just got an invitation to the playoffs. Now lets see how far we go. I keep saying theres patience here. Let us build some stuff and lets see if we can do this over the long haul. Thats the objective. The long-term objective, at least. But there were also short-term goals, such as reaching the playoffs, and it took a busy offseason to make that happen. Shortly after arriving, Dorsey spent five or six days with Andy Reid whod just been hired as the coach and his scouting department, going through the roster and identifying needs. Quarterback was the most glaring one, so Dorsey dialed up 49ers Please see Dorsey, 2B

Chiefs chase different result in rematch with Indy

INDIANAPOLIS Jamaal Charles spent this week dissecting the Chiefs first game against the Colts. On Saturday, Charles and his Kansas City teammates will finally get a chance to show theyve learned from all those mistakes. Theyre going to have their best game plan and best players on the field, Charles said. We know whats at stake here. We have to play fast and we have to play harder than them. In Week 16, the Chiefs had four turnovers and Indianapolis (11-5) spent most of the game negating Charles by playing keep-away. Nobody expects a replay this week not Charles, not Andrew

Kansas City (11-5) could have a noticeably different look, too. Receiver Dwayne Bowe was knocked out of the first matchup with a concussion and was still sidelined last week. Tamba Hali also hurt his knee against Indy, while fellow linebacker Justin Houston sat out that game with a dislocated elbow. Bowe has already been cleared to play and Houston is expected to return this week, too, though Hali hasnt practiced all week. Please see Chiefs, 3B

GM Trent Baalke. In relatively short order, the two of them agreed to a trade that would send Alex Smith to the Chiefs for a second-round pick in 2013 and what has turned into another second-round pick in 2014. Meanwhile, Dorsey was securing talent already on the roster. He signed Bowe to a $56 million, five-year deal; Colquitt to an $18 million, five-year contract; placed the franchise tag on left tackle Branden Albert, worth about $9.3 million for the season; and then reworked an albatross contract of defensive tackle Tyson Jackson. And then as we went along in the cycle of free agency, Dorsey explained, you began to get some players that filled the characteristics and traits you were looking for in your team.

Associated Press
NEW YORK Peyton Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. It was his seventh time as a firstteamer, tying Hall of Famer Otto Graham for the most by a quarterback. The Denver star set NFL records this season with 55 touchdown passes and 5,477 yards through the air. He was chosen on all 50 ballots from media members who regularly cover the NFL. Manning also was an All-Pro in 2003, 04, 05, 08, 09 and last season. New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham and Indianapolis outside linebacker Robert Mathis each drew 49 votes. Philadelphia running back LeSean McCoy and Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman had 48. Minnesota kick returner Cordarrelle Patterson was the only rookie on the squad. Eighteen NFC players and nine from the AFC made the team. Philadelphia and Carolina each had three: NFL rushing leader McCoy, guard Evan Mathis and tackle Jason Peters for the Eagles; linebacker Luke Kuechly, center Ryan Kalil and fullback Mike Tolbert for the Panthers. Manning and Graham do not hold the mark for most All-Pro appearances. Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice, for example, was a 10-time All-Pro. Only two members of the top teams in

each conference made the All-Pro team. Joining Manning from the Broncos (13-3) was guard Louis Vasquez. Joining Sherman from the Seahawks (13-3) was safety Earl Thomas. Rounding out the offense were receivers Calvin Johnson of Detroit and Josh Gordon of Cleveland; running back Jamaal Charles of Kansas City; and tackle Joe Thomas of Cleveland. Other All-Pros on defense were ends J.J. Watt of Houston and Robert Quinn of St. Louis; tackles Gerald McCoy of Tampa Bay and Ndamukong Suh of Detroit; outside linebacker Lavonte David of Tampa Bay; inside LB NaVorro Bowman of San Francisco; cornerback Patrick Peterson of Arizona; and safety Eric Berry of Kansas City.

Geoff Schwartz and linebackers Frank Zombo and Dezman Moses all gave the Chiefs depth that they would rely on throughout this season. It was the atmosphere, coming in here and seeing the guys, how they work together, said Akeem Jordan, another free-agent linebacker. It was just nice. Family-like. Then the draft, where the Chiefs picked Fisher to be their starting right tackle, running back Knile Davis to back up Jamaal Charles and several others to be key role players. Finally, the waiver wire, where the Chiefs claimed several useful pieces just before the season. In all, there are 28 newcomers on the 53-man roster readying for the Colts this week. I was in Indy and I knew how the rebuild was there, said Avery, who helped turn around the Colts last season. If everybody bought in, I knew it would be a success. Upon reflection, Dorsey is matter-of-fact when it comes to the roster.

There were pieces that needed to be filled, he said, and we went out there systematically and addressed what we needed to address. The defense had some talent, but the offense was lacking. Depth was a pressing concern on both sides of the ball. Your first goal as you go through this thing is do everything you can to make it as competitive as you possibly can in terms of the whole roster, Dorsey said. Thats what we did. The result has been resurgence, if not a renaissance: An 11-5 record, a playoff spot secured with a week to spare, and now a trip to Indianapolis on the horizon. The foundation, too, for what Dorsey believes will be years of prosperity. Its nice, but were just getting to the playoffs, he said. The chase is fun, it is. We chased it, we got in the door, thats done. Now its time for another chase, and thats kind of where we are. Lets see what happens.

Wildcats (6-6, 0-1) got the rest of the way. Baylor began the day second in the nation in scoring at 99.2 points per game, trailing only Oregons 105.3. We took good shots, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. If you look at our field goal percentage, thats pretty good on the road. We didnt miss a lot of shots and the ones we did miss were good shots. We played from start to finish very solid. Despite holding the Lady Bears under their season average, Patterson didnt see many positives in her teams defensive performance. Tonight was more a story of not getting the job done on the boards and defensively, Patterson said. Thats rare for us. Weve always been able to rely on playing real aggressive, accountable defense. Woods and Romero kept the Wildcats within breathing distance in the first half, scoring nine points apiece. Sims was even stronger

in the second half. The senior stymied the Wildcats with 25 second-half points including a final 3-pointer to stretch the lead to 30 points with 1:52 left in the game. To get tougher, Woods said of Kansas States needed steps moving forward. Were a young team and the Big 12 isnt going to get easy and every team is hard. Weve just got to understand that weve got to be tough and fight every single night. Sims finished seven points short of her career high, set earlier this season against Kentucky. There is more distribution of the ball, Patterson said of Baylors team after losing former All-American center Brittney Griner to graduation. Its obviously Odyssey Sims team and she can be very, very dominant with the ball now. Theres more movement because she moves more. Baylor beat Kansas State for the 17th straight time since the Wildcats last win in the series on Jan. 27, 2004.

Jameis meets media before BCS

B Y R ALPH D. RUSSO

SPORTS

Associated Press
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. Jameis Winston whispered and giggled with teammate Kenny Shaw on the dais as two Florida State coaches answered questions, many about him. The Heisman Trophy winner and his star receiver looked at times like a couple of kids trying not to laugh in the library. When the questions were directed to Winston, he was his usual gregarious self, humbly deflecting credit on one hand, supremely self-confident on the other. In the second interview session Friday, the Heisman Trophy winner had a platform all to himself and the biggest crowd of reporters around him. There is no doubt Famous Jameis is the star of the show this week in Southern California. It has taken one season for Winston

to become one of college footballs biggest attractions, right up there with Johnny Manziel. He has set records and was the subject of a criminal investigation. The 19-year-old, who turns 20 Monday night when the top-ranked Seminoles play No. 2 Auburn in the BCS championship game at the Rose Bowl, has dealt with both fame and scrutiny. He maintains that through it all hes still the same person he was a year ago, when he was a promising freshman working with Florida States scout team. Nothing has changed, he said. Winston covered plenty of ground Friday. He doesnt think hes ready for the NFL nor is he in any rush to get there. No, I got to get better at everything. When he was in high school, he wanted to play for Texas. He even tried to reach out to Mack Brown, but

it never went anywhere. I tried to call him a couple times because I really like Texas. He has joked around with Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher about recent speculation and reports that Fisher might replace Brown in Austin. Even if Coach Fisher goes to Texas, Im going to ask him, Can I go with you? Yeah, Im serious. Hes my coach. Though he grew up in Bessemer, Ala., in a family mostly made up of Alabama fans, save for his mom who roots for Auburn, he never chose sides in the heated rivalry. When youre born in that state, you have to be either this or that. Obviously, when I first started football, Oklahoma winning, Boomer Sooner baby. I just roll with that. Though he did concede that playing the Tigers is a rivalry game for him. In Tallahassee, Fla., Winston was looming on the horizon all last season after he came to Florida State as a five-star recruit. He is also a baseball star and FSU gave him the opportunity to play both sports for championship contending teams. Seminoles fans dubbed him Famous Jameis before he threw a pass in a game and he had them giddy after a spectacular spring game performance. Around the country, most college football fans found out about Winston on Labor Day night, when in his start he completed 25 of 27 passes for 356 yards in a victory at Pittsburgh. Honestly, I wasnt really surprised, quarterbacks coach Randy Sanders said. I was a little bit in awe, I think, like a lot of people, just the poise and composure that he had. You saw it every day in spring practice, through the summer, through the fall. But for it to show up on game day that way, that was nice to see. Winston went on to break freshman records for yards passing (3,820) and touchdown passes (38) as Florida State crushed opponent after opponent. He sees no reason that has to stop against Auburn.

fans, averaging 17.2 points per game. Spradling expects his team to take Smart out of the game by putting a longer Wildcat such as Wesley Iwundu or Omari Lawrence on the sensational sophomore. It will be a lot of guys on him because we switch a lot on defense, he said. And everyone on our team can guard and weve done a great job of it the last few games. Oklahoma State, already one of the smaller teams in the Big 12, lost 6-foot, 8-inch big man Michael Cobbins for the season when he suffered an Achilles injury against Robert Morris Monday. The injury could force the Cowboys to run with an extra small lineup, giving Kansas States forwards an advantage down low. Do they put (6-foot, 7-inch guard-forward LeBryan) Nash at the five and then play four guards? Kansas State coach Bruce Weber said. If that happens, weve got to make sure we take care of the ball, get it into Thomas (Gipson) and see what they can do with that. Where Oklahoma State makes up for its size disadvantage is with extreme athleticism on the perimeter. The Cowboys are very comfortable pushing the tempo off turnovers to

CHIEFS
Continued from Page 1B
If Hali does play, he and Houston may force Luck to cope with even more pressure than just winning his home playoff debut. But the bigger question for the Chiefs is whether theyve fixed the miscues that proved so costly against the Colts two weeks ago. As a coach its a little bit like a farmer: Your work is never done, right? Reid said. There are always areas to work on, and thats how it goes. Were always striving to be better. Here are five things to watch Saturday at Indianapolis. MOMENTUM vs. HEALTH: The Colts wanted to build momentum for the postseason. The result: They went 4-1 in December. Once the Chiefs fell out of contention in the AFC West, they tried to get healthy. Kansas City is 2-5 since the bye week, has lost two straight, hasnt beaten a team with a winning record since Week 3 and has dropped seven in a row in the playoffs. Saturdays result will show which coach made the right call. GOAL TO GO: Indy achieved one of its goals by winning the AFC South to host its first home playoff game in three years. It cant achieve the next two an AFC championship and a Super Bowl title without protecting its home turf. The Colts understand six of the last eight Super Bowl winners played on wild-card weekend, and the last two world champs, the Giants and Ravens, were seeded No. 4.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck tries to get rid of the ball while being tackled by Kansas City Chiefs inside linebacker Derrick Johnson in Kansas City, Mo., on Dec. 22.
Indy has a chance to extend that streak. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS: No team has been better at minimizing mistakes than Indianapolis, which had a league-low 14 turnovers and 66 penalties. This game features the AFCs top two teams in turnover ratio. Kansas City has forced 36 turnovers. The team that stays closest to its regular-season form is likely to be celebrating Saturday night. WHOS NO. 1?: Luck and Alex Smith were both No. 1 overall picks. While Luck has been incredibly successful in his two NFL seasons, Smith had to be more patient and eventually became Kansas Citys solution to last seasons turnover-prone ways. Luck was the clear winner of this matchup in the last game, and if he plays that well again, the Colts should be in good shape. LOOKING FOR PROTECTION: If theres one equally troubling bugaboo for both teams, its their inability to protect the quarterback. Injuries have forced both coaches to mix and match starters along the offensive line. That could be an especially big problem this week with the likely return of Houston and with Robert Mathis, the newly crowned NFL sacks champion, playing on the same field.

Reed Hoffmann The Associated Press

score easy baskets they are eighth in the nation in scoring, averaging 86.3 points per game and seventh in the nation in turnover margin. Were going to have to take care of the ball or theres going to be a dunk on the other side, Gipson said. Were going to have to play hard, with intensity. (We) matchup pretty well, were just going to have to execute. If we dont, then they win, if we do, then we have a fair advantage of winning. The Wildcats, already the best scoring defense in the Big 12, recently added another defensive weapon to its arsenal when freshman Jevon Thomas became eligible last week. In two games, the energetic Thomas has already impacted both sides of the ball. He has 10 assists and no turnovers so far. Kansas State junior Nino Williams called Thomas play contagious. (Thomas is) charismatic once he does something, he said. He doesnt really have to talk, you just feed off of him. I think hes going to be a good leader once he gets older. A win Saturday will put the Wildcats right in the thick of the discussion for the Big 12 title. Were all pretty pumped up about getting the Big 12 rolling., Gipson said. We were 7-0 in December, thats what we wanted to be and make great strides to get better and ready for the Big 12 and now we just have to play and we all have to step up a notch.

The blizzard of 1886 rattled settlers

JAMIE MARTIN-CLARK

Museum Musings

rrrr its cold outside but somehow it doesnt seem quite that bad as I sit at my computer next to my heater. As I look through our archives and read about winters in early Geary County Im so happy I live in this day and age. In December of 1885 an unbroken blanket of snow extended from Williams, New Mexico to Kansas City covering the state and giving settlers a small taste of what was yet to come. The blizzard of 1886 hit in January and caught settlers completely unaware. Drifts of six feet were common across the state. The Annuals of Kansas starts Kansas history describing the blizzard of 1886. 25 degrees below zero was recorded at Fort Riley. Many settlers did not have permanent dwellings and it is estimated that 100 Kansans perished due to the cold. Frozen carcasses of rabbits, prairie chickens, quail, and antelope were reported across the state. It is estimated that 80 percent of the cattle in Kansas froze to death. Many major cattle companies across the state were ruined because there was no insurance to cover their losses. The Republican of Jan. 8, reports that trains on all the roads here were abandoned because they could not get through the drifts. The Kansas State Historical

This photo taken in 1926 is of the countys big snow plow stuck on Victory Highway.
Society reports that a force of 11 Union Pacific locomotives was unable to buck through and cut in the snow near Salina. The telegraph wires went down on Thursday morning essentially cutting Junction City off from the outside world. On April 5, 1920 the Union Newspaper reports that Junction City was completely isolated from the outside world after a two day blizzard. It is estimated that two feet of snow fell accompanied by thunder and lightning. Rural mail carriers reported that the wind had swept the fields clean leaving ten foot drifts to cover the roadways. Travel on all railroads was stopped for at least 24 hours because of the drifts. Men worked quickly around town to get the snow off roofs to keep them from collapsing. Peach and plum trees were blooming at this time of year but after the freezing weather not much crop was expected. A funny side note to illustrate how high the drifts were, Carl Stevenson walked out onto a drift back of his home and suddenly slipped into a rainwater barrel. It seems the county roads were the worst, Dr. King got stuck with his big car in a place in the canon road north of the city, and came into town afoot, sending Dan Baker out Monday with explicit directions as to where the car would be found [Dan] located the spot but no car could be seen. Certain that no one could have taken the car he started prodding about on the level snow and found the car two feet under snow level. Tuesday after the storm the fire department did valiant service after the snow got good and slushy, by getting out in the business section with the fire hose and washing off the brick paving. On Feb. 18, 1926 the Republican tells us that a near blizzard swept through Kansas in the early hours. Falling rain turned to sleet and then snow as 45 mph winds blew it across the plains and deposited it in low spots making huge barriers across roads. The countys big snow plow was ordered onto the Victory Highway ... snow had drifted covering the road. Orders went out to all patrolmen to clear their roads as soon as the snow stopped or if there was no let-up, to get out and clear them anyway. This seems to have been a hopeless job because the museum has several photos of the snow plows stuck while trying to clear the snow. On Jan. 4, 1947 the Union newspaper reports that the temperature reached 26 degrees below zero that morning. This almostunbelievably cold temperature was reached about 7 a.m. after a steady drop throughout the night, according to L.W. Sargent, local weather observer. The cold was alleviated some by the absence of wind. Also, reported is that the local taxi service, tow trucks and plumbers did a booming business that day. In December of 1973 an ice storm knocked out power in Junction City and the surrounding area. The Union newspaper has an unofficial report of an estimated $500,000 in tree damage. KJCK was off the air and the FM tower was flattened. On Feb. 1, 1983 the Union reports an eight inch snow that made roadways in much of Kansas dangerous to travel on. This was accompanied by 30 mph gusts of wind. Junction City Manager, John Higgins, declared a snow emergency after getting

Submitted Photo stuck in his driveway only getting his car out half a car length before deciding to walk to work. Junction City reported eight inches of snow and was expecting another two to five inches by the end of the day. In more recent times, Geary County and the surrounding area was paralyzed when a major ice storm, with an accompanying six inches of snow hit in December of 2007. I am sure that many of us remember the storm. The Union reported on Dec. 13, 2007 that many were left without power for several days, some up to 10 days and some in rural areas longer. Utility crews came from as far away as North Carolina to assist with restoring the power.

Nye to visit Creation Museum for debate

By The Associated Press
LOUISVILLE Bill Nye The Science Guy is set to visit Kentucky to debate evolution and biblical creation with the founder of the Creation Museum. Ken Ham wrote on his Facebook page Thursday that he will square off Feb. 4 with Nye, the former host of a popular science TV show for youths. The event is likely to attract plenty of attention in scientific and faith circles, as Nye is a high-profile advocate of science education and Ham is a respected leader among Christians who believe the Bibles origin story is a factual account of the Earths beginnings. Ham had been hoping to attract the star of TVs Bill Nye The Science Guy to the northern Kentucky museum after Nye said in an online video last year that teaching creationism was bad for children. The video was viewed nearly 6 million times on YouTube. Having the opportunity to hold a cordial but spirited debate with such a wellknown personality who is admired by so many young people will help bring the creation-evolution issue to the attention of many more people, including youngsters, Ham said in a release Thursday. The Creation Museum has been lauded by supporters and prodded by scientists for exhibits that assert the Earth was created in a few days about 6,000 years ago. It also has displays with dinosaurs and humans living alongside each other, in contradiction to scientific findings that the two species were separated by more than 60 million years. Nye said in an Associated Press interview in September that steering children away from evolution and teaching creationism would hurt scientific advances. Science has demonstrated that the Earth is billions of years old, and if that conflicts with your beliefs, I strongly feel you should question your beliefs, he told the AP. Nye, who is executive director of the Planetary Society, said in that interview that he would be willing to travel to Kentucky and debate Ham if the museum paid his travel expenses. An email message sent to Nyes assistant was not returned Thursday. Nye agreed to participate in the debate early last month, said Mark Looy, vice president of outreach for Answers in Genesis, the ministry that operates the Creation Museum.

Spider-Man is leaving Broadway

skateboard and a light bulb made by Thomas Edison. The Smithsonian is the gatekeeper when it comes to the American popular culture canon, so this feels like a kind of coronation for all of us, said Michael Cohl, a lead producer. Ishioka, an Academy Award-winner who designed surrealistic costumes for such films as Mirror Mirror, The Cell and Francis Ford Coppolas Dracula, earned a Tony nomination for her big, bold costumes for Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, including the tricky task of freshening Spider-Mans iconic look. To make it, Ishioka, who died in 2012, came up with a new spider design on the costumes chest and had to make sure her new suit didnt stray too far from Marvel Comics signature look, according to Tracy Roberts, Ishiokas studio manager. Ishioka ignored the comic books Crayola-like blue and red for a sophisticated ombre effect in which shades of color graduate from light to dark or dark to light. A close look at SpiderMans suit reveals many variations of color as the red arms gradually bleed into the blue legs. She wanted to make it her own, and I think she achieved that in a really great way by painting within the lines but really giving it her own spin, said Roberts. Roberts, who is eager for the general public to appreciate Ishiokas diverse designs legacy, said the Smithsonians honor is a wonderful way to recognize her body of work. Among Ishiokas accomplishments were the sets and costumes for David Henry Hwangs 1988 drama M. Butterfly and the costumed for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Its wonderful that this great designer from Japan who has done so many different international design projects would find her work at this incredibly iconic American place, said Roberts. Its a great honor. Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark Broadways most expensive show, with a price tag of $75 million had a rocky start, with six delays in its opening night, injuries to several actors, a shake-up that led to the firing of original director Julie Taymor and critical drubbing. But the musical, with songs by U2s Bono and The Edge, became a hit in 2011 and was among Broadways biggest earners until springing a leak this summer. It closes Saturday after having played 1,268 performances and grossing more than $200 million. Next stop: Las Vegas. Though the timing of the Smithsonians honor coincides with the shows closing, Cohl waves away any suggestion that it is a vindication for the beleaguered cast and crew. I dont know if Id call it vindication, but its very satisfying. Theater is such an ephemeral art form which is what makes it so thrilling and so frustrating. No matter how long it runs in Las Vegas, or how many cities it plays, its still impermanent. So there is something very satisfying about knowing a piece of our show will be preserved forever.

NEW YORK Before Spider-Man takes his final bow on Broadway this weekend, the show is swinging into history in another way. Producers of SpiderMan: Turn Off the Dark said Thursday that the Smithsonian Institution is inducting one of the heros first costumes into the permanent collection at the National Museum of American History in Washington. The red-and-blue costume designed by Eiko Ishioka and worn by actor Reeve Carney will join a collection of iconic Americana that boasts the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, a Kermit the Frog puppet, the first car driven across the United States, a lock of Sir Walter Scotts hair, Tony Hawks first

Fans are up for Downton Abbey starting season four

By The Associated Press
NEW YORK As it returns for its much-awaited fourth season, Downton Abbey remains a saga about elegance, tradition and gentility and the pressures of preserving them. On the premiere, airing Sunday at 8 p.m. on PBS, Lady Mary Crawley has buckled under the weight of widowhood six months after her husband, Matthew, perished in a car crash. Inconsolable at the start of the episode, Mary (played by Michelle Dockery) dismisses their infant son as a poor little orphan. Her father, Lord Robert Crawley (Hugh Bonneville), wrestles with business pressures: the death of Matthew and the absence of a will have thrown the Downton manor, already financially fragile, into further crisis. Meanwhile, the modern world of 1922 bears down on the Downton hidebound. Just consider the encroachment of an electric mixer, the newest threat to the culinary status quo over which Mrs. Patmore reigns in the kitchen. Even so, Mrs. Patmore remains squat, high-strung yet unbending under the pressures of keeping the Downton nobility well-fed. In a recent interview, Lesley Nicol, who plays her, recalls filming the series original episode with Mrs. Patmore shouting at everybody and being horrible. As an actor you go, Is she just a plain, nasty piece of work? But Nicol says she was set straight by the series historical adviser, who reminded her that the character is solely responsible for the food in that house. If you go to dinner at Downton, its got to be the best youve ever had. Sometimes people are harsh because they need things to be right. That was a key ingredient for playing Mrs. Patmore, but the recipe keeps the pressure on Nicol to look authentic doing it, because viewers are looking for mistakes they are!

Librarians report and Batman collections. There is also the Lego Ideas Book, which shares ideas for how to build and create with your Legos. Two volumes of the Lego Adventure Book also help to guide the use of Legos in creating characters, scenes, animals, and more. DK Publishers and Scholastic also publish several fiction books based on Lego characters. Most of these are aimed at early independent readers. Among the sets used to create stories include: Hero Factory, Star Wars, Ninjago, Chima, Lego City, and Lego Friends sets. Among the fiction books, an array of formats are used. Some of these books are basically character guides, some are in the graphic novel style, and some are in a true storybook style. All include illustrations and/or pictures. Hero Factory focuses on the robot heroes built and working in Makuhero City. Within the city, new heroes are produced each day in the hero factory. Each hero is implanted with a Hero Core which helps them to accomplish their missions. These heroes protect the universe from villains and often go on missions to other planets while solving mysteries, capturing villains and saving people from danger. Star Wars books feature the characters introduced through the original Star Wars movie series. In the Lego adaptations, each book follows one or more Star Wars characters as they go on adventures throughout the Republic and the universe. Ninjago is based in a mystical world created by the first Spinjitzu master. In this world, Ninjago ninja warriors are trained using the four golden weapons along with other powers and skills. Each ninja has their own skills they use to help overcome the evil enemies, such as Lord Garmadon and the giant serpent, the Great Devourer. Chima takes place in a land filled with humanstyle animals who are at war over Chi, a mystical energy source which gives energy to the animals and powers their vehicles. All of the tribes of Chima have banded together to save the land against all enemies. Some animal characters in the world include eagels, lions, bears, gorillas, rhinos, crocodiles, wolves,

Saturday Night Live comes to Chinas Internet

By The Associated Press
BEIJING A popular online video site is bringing the irreverent, topical humor of Saturday Night Live to China. The late-night U.S. comedy sketch show that regularly mocks politicians, popular culture and celebrities is being shown exclusively on the website of Sohu Video, a unit of Chinese online media group and Nasdaq-listed Sohu.com Inc. Ten episodes from the current 39th season of SNL are available now. Future episodes will be available online without subtitles the Monday after airing in the United States, and a version with Chinese subtitles and explanations of cultural references will be available at 10 p.m. the following Saturday, Sohu said in its announcement Thursday. The NBC network show has been a comedy proving ground since its inception with Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon and Will Ferrell among its cast over the years. Many of its original sketches and musical performances have been made into movies including the 1992 hit Waynes World or gone viral online. Topics have featured China, including a sketch of a press conference with then Chinese President Hu Jintao berating President Barack Obama over the national debt. ond season of hit reality show The Voice of China, which generated nearly 2 billion video views, according to the company. Zhang said U.S. TV shows have been successful at generating advertising revenue online in China. Zhang didnt give a figure for how much they had paid for exclusive rights to Saturday Night Live within China, but said it was cheaper per episode than for a U.S. drama series. Chinas government restricts foreign access to the countrys television audience and bars most of its cable operators from carrying foreign channels. Online video provides more access for foreign productions. Unlike a few years ago, most of the Western TV shows and movies found on Chinese websites today are licensed, although pirated content still exists. Zhang welcomed an announcement earlier this week from a government agency labeling Chinas largest search engine, Baidu Inc., and software company QVOD the top two copyright violators last year. The National Copyright Administration of China also fined both companies $40,000, the highest penalty at its disposal. Complaints by Sohu and other online video providers had prompted its investigation, which found the two linked to websites hosting infringed content.

Sohu Chairman and CEO Charles Zhang, left, strikes a pose next to a poster of American irreverent comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live, Thursday after a press conference at the Sohu Media Plaza in Beijing.
But Sohu Chairman and CEO Charles Zhang said he didnt expect the shows edgy themes to get them into trouble in China. Things that are controversial in America are probably not controversial in China, he said. And this talk show is in the spirit of fun and humor. I dont think there will be any problem. Chinese films and TV shows are routinely censored to prevent criticism of leaders or socially sensitive content, including sexually suggestive humor, and SNL frequently tests those boundaries. Zhang said the show, if popular in China, could inspire Chinese companies to produce shows with similar formats although content was another matter. Its a different political setting, he said at a news conference, also attended by American stand-up comedian Joe Wong and Beijing-born TV host and musician Kelly Cha. Sohu Videos site, like many other Chinese online video sites, licenses many hit American TV shows alongside Japanese animation series, Chinese variety shows and in-house programs. Sohus early U.S. programs were Lost and The Big Bang Theory, and last year it obtained the exclusive online broadcast rights for the sec-

RELIGION
The Daily Union. Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014
By The Associated Press By The Associated Press
At 2 a.m. Thursday, Eureka Police responded to a call about a suspicious person a couple blocks from the jail and a stones throw from Freeds church where officers found Bullock. Officers referred Bullock to an emergency shelter for the night. Later that evening, a security guard heard noise near the church and went to investigate. He saw a man matching Bullocks description and, after a short conversation, told him to leave the property, police said. It is not clear exactly when Freed was killed as he was last seen during Tuesday evening Mass and found at 9 a.m. Thursday at St. Bernard Church rectory after he didnt show up for early morning Mass, police said. An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday. Investigators found signs of forced entry and a struggle. Police are searching for Freeds missing 2010 Nissan hybrid. Bullock is described as 61 and 195 pounds with a last known address in Southern Humboldt County. The reverend was a victim of a violent crime, Eureka police Chief Andrew Mills said. Were not sure on the motive but dont believe it was a robbery at this point. Freed had taught classes on religion at Humboldt State University since 2007, including Introduction to Christianity and a class on Japanese calligraphy. Humboldt State is a small university of 8,000 students near Redwood National Park, on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Colleague William Herbrechtsmeier described his friend as a man of keen intellect who had a robust laugh and wide-ranging interests, including sports. Its just horrid that someone of his quality would be snuffed out in this way, he said. Freed grew up in Southern California and graduated from Loyola Marymount University. He completed his graduate studies in linguistics while in Italy, where he also learned how to speak Italian. CAIRO Egyptian authorities produced on Thursday what they said was a confession by the son of a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood, trying to bolster accusations that the Islamist group has links to al-Qaida-inspired militants. In a news conference, the interior minister aired the recording said to be of Yahia Mongi, son of a Brotherhood lawmaker, in which he says he joined the Ansar Beit al-Maqdis or Champions of Jerusalem group. Mohammed Ibrahim said Mongi was part of a seven-member cell that carried out a suicide bombing of a provincial security headquarters last month. The Ansar took responsibility for the blast, as well as other attacks. The charge that the Brotherhood has links to Ansar Beit al-Maqdis is central to the governments case for labelling the group, from which ousted President Mohammed Morsi hails, as a terrorist organization. The confession is the first purported piece of hard evidence produced by authorities to make the link. Human rights advocates say that police frequently use torture and other means of coercion to produce confessions, relying on them in lieu of other evidence to convict defendants in both ordinary criminal and security trials. The Brotherhood denies that it practices violence and accuses police of plotting the attacks to find a pretext for a heavier crackdown on its members. The news conference came as a court set Jan. 28 as the opening date for Morsis trial along with 130 others in connection to a 2011 jailbreak. It is the third set of charges that Morsi faces. Also, a court in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria sentenced seven secular-leaning activists to two years in prison on charges related to a protest. Minister Ibrahim said Mongis role was surveillance and hosting the Ansars leader. He listed names of Muslim Brotherhood members alleged to have crossed to the Gaza Strip and received training from Hamas, the militant group that rules the territory. When they returned to Egypt, the minister said, they carried out a number of other attacks including shooting anti-Islamist protesters. Ibrahim said the group opened channels with Hamas after the countrys 2011 uprising, which brought down autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak. The minister said the Palestinian group provided logistical support training and developed technology such as devices to jam planes detection systems. He did not provide any evidence for the claims of training and support. The Brotherhood does have longstanding ties with its offshoot Hamas, and did ally politically with more radical groups during Morsis time in office, including some ex-militants from groups that attacked police, tourists, and others in the 1990s. The military overthrew Morsi on July 3 after millions took to the streets demanding he step down. Since then, attacks by suspected Islamic militants have escalated. Their deadliest bombing yet was the Dec. 24 blast at the security headquarters in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura that killed 16 people, almost all policemen.

Police name suspect in Egypt claims a terror confession California priest killing

EUREKA, Calif. Police identified a suspect Thursday in the killing of a respected priest who was found dead in a church rectory in Northern California on New Years Day. Eureka police have issued an arrest warrant for Gary Lee Bullock, 43, of Redway in the bludgeoning death of Rev. Eric Freed, according to a statement. Officials are still investigating a motive in the killing, but Bullock had been in and out of police custody in the hours leading up to Freeds death. Bullock was first arrested by Humboldt County deputies for public intoxication in Garberville and taken 67 miles north to jail in Eureka, where he was rejected due to his erratic behavior. Bullock was then taken to a hospital for an evaluation and became so agitated that deputies had to restrain him. He was booked into jail for about eight hours, then released shortly after midnight.

Wintertime bird feeding

CHUcK OTTE
Field & Garden real favorite of cardinals. The little goldfinches like some type of hanging feeder. A hanging tube feeder with thistle seed in it is a favorite for finches of all types. The one bird feed that does seem to hold nearly universal acceptance though is black oil sunflower. There are actually three types of sunflower seeds available in the bird feed trade, but the striped sunflowers, while preferred by humans, is far less accepted by birds than black oil sunflower. The smallest finches up to cardinals and even squirrels and deer will show a strong preference to black oil sunflower. This seed packs a whopping 25 percent protein and 40 percent oil or fat. The protein helps keep the small birds going and the oil is an essential energy source to help them stay warm in cold weather. While black oil sunflower seed may be a little more expensive, it is going to be more universally utilized by all bird species resulting in far less waste. For that reason it is my number one recommendation for bird feeding. Mixes that contain a lot of corn, wheat, milo or oats may be a lot cheaper, but theres going to be a lot more waste as the birds pick through it for the few sunflower seeds or millet that may also be in there. Place your feeder(s) where they can be easily viewed from the house. Cats are the number one predator of birds, so keep your cat

s we settle into the heart of winter, the cold, the snow and the clouds can become somewhat depressing. A simple thing that families can do to provide a good family activity is to hang some bird feeders in your yard. With just a little basic landscaping (a few trees and shrubs) and a couple of bird feeders, most homeowners can have great success in attracting birds which can bring hours of enjoyment watching their feeding activities. Like people, different bird species have different food preferences as well as how they want that food presented. Doves, juncos and sparrows prefer food on the ground or very near the ground. White proso millet is one of their favorites. Cardinals like an open trough type of feeder or feed scattered on the ground. Safflower seed seems to be a

indoors or provide trees close by where the birds can fly to quickly to escape the feline predator. The Christmas tree that you just took down, assuming it was a real tree, can be laid on the ground near the feeders to provide additional cover and shelter. Feeders can be fairly close to the house, in fact I have one hung right off the eaves outside my kitchen window. But remember that the closer to the house the feeder is, the more likely birds are to be spooked by noises and motion from inside. Suet feeders are a nice addition to the back yard feeding choices. Suet is processed beef fat, often mixed with seed and provided in nice blocks that are easy to hang in a metal feeder. Suet is a great attractant for woodpeckers as well as nuthatches, chickadees and creepers.

The final thing that will really attract a lot of birds into your backyard is a heated bird bath. Open water, especially in winter weather like weve been seeing lately, can be hard to come by so providing a heated bird bath in your backyard can draw in a lot of birds, including species like bluebirds and waxwings that wont feed on all the seed that youve placed around the yard. While some backyard bird feeders, like myself, can get really carried away with feeders and bird bath options, one or two simple bird feeders will do an adequate job of attracting the birds. So put out a feeder, fill up a cup with coffee and let mother nature bring you a little enjoyment and a splash of color for you winter.

Radon and carbon monoxide can cause serious air hazards

DEB ANdRES
Living Resourcefully paign on radon gas poisoning called National Radon Action Month is being launched to help the public become aware of the dangers associated with radon gas and take action to prevent serious illness that can be caused by it. Radon is an odorless radioactive gas that results from the breakdown of uranium from soil and rock beneath and around the foundation, ground water wells, and some building materials. It can leak into your house through the basement, crawl space, through adjacent or exposed soil and rock, and through well water. Some building materials such as natural stone or rock can emit radon. Exposure to radon can increase your chances of getting lung cancer. Scientists are more certain about radon risks than risks from other cancer causing substances. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. According to the National Cancer Institute, radon causes 15,000 to 22,000 lung cancer deaths a year. Cigarette smoking which is the leading cause of lung cancer combined with exposure to radon gas creates a greater risk of lung cancer than either environmental condition by itself. What can you do to reduce your risk of exposure to radon gas? Test for radon in your home. The Environmental Protection Agency and the US Surgeon General recommend testing for radon and reducing radon levels in homes. A level of four picocuries per liter, pCi/L, or higher is considered unacceptable and pose the highest risk of radon gas poisoning. Levels below four pCi/L still pose a risk, so you may want to use a reduction system for homes with lower levels. Contact the Geary County Extension office at (785) 238-4161 for a test kit and testing guidance. The test kits available at the extension office ($5.50/ kit) will help you identify if there is radon gas present in your home and at what level. Radon levels can be reduced, most often by the installation of a soil ventilation system that draws the radon from beneath the house exhausts into the air above the house. In addition to radon gas, another common odorless and colorless gas that can be fatal is carbon monoxide (CO). It is produced when combustion equipment is not working properly. Sources include unvented fossil-fuel space heaters, unvented gas stoves and ovens, blocked chimneys or flues, gas dryer vented into the room, cars or other engines run in garages, and cracked combustion chamber in the furnace, and backdrafting from furnaces and water heaters. The challenge with identifying whether a person is experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning is due to the symptoms mimicking that of the common flu, food poisoning, or allergies nausea, dizziness, weakness and muscles aches. High levels of carbon monoxide can cause much more significant reactions impaired judgement, paralysis, coma, and death. Just as with radon gas, there are ways to detect carbon monoxide in your home. Carbon monoxide alarms can alert you to dangerous levels of the gas. These alarms are readily available at local hardware stores and/or discount stores. Careful consideration of the location of these alarms in the home is important to insure immediate response to the presence of the gas in your home. If you are installing only one alarm in your home, place it close to the sleeping area so that it will wake you while you sleep. If you live in a multi-level home, you should install an alarm on each level for additional protection. Avoid installing alarms close to fuel-burning appliances, keeping them at least 15 feet away from appliances and away from humid areas such as a bathroom, as these areas could cause false alarm activations. The life span of todays CO alarms is five to six years, but the batteries that run them will not last that long. If you already have these alarms installed in your house, make sure you put new batteries in every six months. You dont want to risk that you and your family are exposed to carbon monoxide without warning due to weak or dead batteries. An additional measure you should take to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is to have your combustion heating system inspected by a trained professional every year. They will look for ventilation blockages or potential sources for CO leakage. Taking action to make sure the indoor air hazards are reduced or eliminated is a proactive approach to helping you and your family stay healthy during these winter months and throughout the year.

he cold winter months in Kansas do not lend themselves to spending a lot of time outdoors. Interestingly though, Americans tend to remain indoors more than outside throughout the year, not just in the winter months. Studies from the United States and Europe show that, on average, persons in industrialized nations spend more than 90 percent of their time indoors. For the young, the aging, persons with serious illnesses, and most of the urban population of any age, the proportion is likely higher. This can have serious health implications due to the concentration of air pollutants that can exist indoors. The locations of highest concern are those involving prolonged, continued exposure such as home, school, and the workplace. Its important to make sure that all environments, especially those areas previously mentioned, are free of air hazards that can cause serious health risks to families and individuals. Learning about these hazards is our first line of defense against the illness they can cause. A public awareness cam-

Egypt: Revolution, turmoil have impact on pop culture

By The Associated Press
CAIRO Egypts dizzying ride over the past three years since the toppling of autocratic Hosni Mubarak has not only shaken up the countrys politics. It has revolutionized its pop culture scene, from language to music and art, bringing in a vibe of rebellion and voices from the urban poor. New phrases have been coined and have become an inseparable part of everyday language. Graffiti has emerged as a new and popular art form, putting politics on city walls and chronicling the mood on the revolutionary street. Popular music has become dominated by young and rebellious musicians from urban slums who were once dismissed as vulgar. Their songs, blaring from Nile party boats, minibus taxis and the motorized rickshaws known as tuktuks, have come to provide a soundtrack to Cairos bustling streets. The changes bring new platforms for airing grievances and voicing demands for change and have spread with stunning speed among various levels of society. What joins them is the spirit of el-Meidan or The Square. Initially, the term was just a shorthand reference to Cairos Tahrir Square, the center of the 2011 uprising that brought down Mubarak and of protests since. But the term evolved to become a symbol for bringing together Egyptians of all social classes, ages, professions and sects to collectively demand change. The term has kept its resonance even as Egypt has become more bitterly divided over the countrys post-Mubarak path. Islamist and non-Islamists are now pitted against each other following the militarys July ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. The square brought together people who would normally never meet, said Ammar Abu Bakr, a graffiti artist. People opened their hearts to one another and were no longer afraid of each other. Artists of all disciplines performed in the square, not to show off, but because everyone felt he or she can do whatever they like, he said. El-Meidan is not the only word that has gained new meaning as politics and turmoil infuse Egypts rich dialect of Arabic. Sheep has become an insult used by anti-Islamists against members of Morsis Muslim Brotherhood a dig at their vows of obedience to their leaders. Islamists fire back with worshippers of boots to refer to supporters of the popularly backed military coup that ousted Morsi after a year in office. The lemon squeezers are secular and liberal Egyptians who voted for Morsi in the 2012 presidential election only to prevent his opponent, Mubaraks last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq, from winning. It refers to an Arabic saying that if youre given a terrible dish, all you can do is squeeze a lemon on it to make it more palatable. More than any other form of pop culture, graffiti has epitomized the revolutionary mood. The images have traced the arc from defiance during the antiMubarak uprising and joy at his fall, through opposition to the military and then Morsi, and now back to anger at the military and at Mubarak regime remnants or feloul who revolutionaries believe are trying to rewrite history to dismiss their uprising as a foreign-backed plot.
