PolyHeme, a temporary oxygen-carrying red blood cell substitute, was approved for use at the University of Kansas Hospital by the Medical Center's Human Subjects Committee.
Dennis McCulloch, public relations at the Med Center, said the committee went through an extensive public input process before PolyHeme was approved. He said the Med Center educated the public and asked for their input.

Training medical personel to use PolyHeme began in early November. Wyandotte, Leavenworth and Douglas counties will be using the product.

Noam Yifrach, right, head of Israel's partner organization, Magen David Adom (Red Star of David), takes over the banner, which carries the new "red crystal" emblem from Blaise Godet, chairman of the 192-nation conference and Swiss Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office, early Thursday morning in Geneva, Switzerland. The 192 signatories of the Geneva Conventions approved the new "red crystal" emblem by vote after last-ditch negotiations between Syria and Israel over Damascus' demands for humanitarian access to Syrian citizens in the Golan Heights broke down.

Moderates seek more sway
BY JOHN MILBURN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA — Moderate Republicans say they've formed an organization to take back the party from conservatives.
First on the must-do list for the Kansas Traditional Republican Majority is replacing those on the State Board of Education who want to treat evolution as flawed science.
publicans in the group is former Senate President Dick Bond of Overland Park.
Among the prominent Re-
"The moderates have no one to blame but themselves for letting this party drift so far to the right, and they've done that by sitting on their hands," Bond said. "They don't go to the polls."
Moderates are looking to become active in the state board and House races next year. The board has a 6-4 conservative
majority, with four of those six standing for re-election in 2006.
Bond said changing the party and the political landscape will take time.
"The moderates aren't going to flip a switch and change things overnight. It's going to take a lot of hard work and the awareness of the nonpolitical public to understand that some of the basic structures in our state are in jeopardy, in particular education," said Bond,
a member of the State Board of Regents, which oversees higher education.
The Board of Education has drawn international criticism for its recent changes to science standards for students. Critics say it will permit the teaching of intelligent design, which they call repackaged creationism. Supporters say it will expose students to valid criticisms of evolutionary theory and promote openness in the classroom.
The KU World Choir will hold auditions from Dec. 8 to 16 for the spring semester.The class meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 2 to 2:50 p.m. Contact Mirna Y. Cabrera at mcabrena@ku.edu for more information.

Former KU student charged in arsons
A man already convicted of setting fires in Johnson County faces additional arson charges in Douglas County
David R. Jay, a former University of Kansas student, made his first appearance by closed circuit television Tuesday in Douglas County District Court. Jay is charged with three counts of aron. He told District Judge Pro Tem Peggy Kittel that he couldn't afford an attorney, so the court appointed one for him.
Jay was sentenced to six years and four months in prison for the Johnson Country arsons.
In Douglas County, he is charged with aggravated arson for a fire started in Watson Library in March 2004. Two other arson counts stem from fires at the Clinton Parkway Nursery and Garden Store and the Lawrence Dental Center.
At Jay's trial in Johnson County, a psychologist said he was a paranoid schizophrenic who lit fires to battle the "new world order."
