BY RICHELLE BUSER
2. Why did you decide to teach at the University of Kansas?:
I reached a point in my life where I needed change. I was working for the governor of North Carolina and his term was about to end. When the opportunity to teach presented itself, I took it.
3. What are your hobbies outside of teaching?: I enjoy writing, which is my work and my hobby. I edit family videos, spend time with my golden retriever and write text books.

that there is a lot going on, but small enough that it's feasible to run into friends on the street. It's a decent size while still maintaining a sense of community.

7. If you had a different career, what would it be and why? : I would love to do sports play by play.

Woman accidentally steals stranger's car with her key
ATHENS, Ohio — Kate Anderson became an accidental car theft when she went to pick-up her daughter's car last week near an Ohio University building.
Anderson spotted the nickel-gray Toyota Camry and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home — without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.
When student Charlie Vansant left class, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car, made in the mid-1980s, had been towed, but when police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft report.
The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she found Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment.
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief:" "Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition as well — so high-five for Toyota, I guess," he said.
Toyota spokesman Bill Bwong said key technology was not as sophisticated two decades ago, and there were only so many ways to

cut a key, making it possible for such a mix-up.
HAMPDEN, Maine — An 80-year-old woman who was watching the Super Bowl alone discovered a way to scare off a man who had broken into her home: fake a heart attack.
The woman was watching Sunday night's game when she saw a man walking through her house, said Hampden police Sgt. Dan Stewart. When she asked the man what he was doing, he grabbed her from behind and pushed her toward the bedroom.
Stewart said the woman pretended she was having a heart attack and told the intruder her heart medication was in her car in the garage. After they retrieved the medication, the man fled.
"The lady had enough common sense to keep her wits about her to fake a heart attack and avoid becoming another victim" Stewart said.
A 45-year-old suspect was arrested.
