When it comes to Missouri residents, Shawn Buchanan Greene has his own opinion about the Show-Me-Staters.

"Missouri people really love
to hate other people," said Greene, a St. Louis native and author of the recently released book,
"Border War Football 1891-2009."
"Not in a mean way," he said. "They just really like to dislike people for being from a different place."
The heated feelings this KU alumnus has toward Missouri are what drove him to create "Border War Football 1891-2009", a 276-page book that gives a decade-by-decade overview of the Kansas-Missouri football rivalry. The book was released last month and features team photos, scores and takes an in-depth look at both the well- and lesser-known stories of the eras.
"He was very thorough and went back and looked at all the yearbooks, all the newspaper accounts just to find a photo for every year," said Lisa Eitner, an event coordinator for the KU Bookstore. "He really put together something that I don't think many people could do
because not everything is available to the public"
One story that struck Greene was that of Tommy Johnson. Johnson was the first Kansas athlete to be captain of both the football and basketball teams. During a 1909 football game against Missouri, Johnson suffered a severe concussion. Johnson's coach Bert Kennedy ignored the advice of the trainers however, and told Johnson to stay on the field and finish the game.
"That was the only game they lost that season," Greene said. "The injuries Johnson got were so severe that he was in the hospital for a year after that and died during the week of the next KU-MU football game."
Store officials said they hope stories like this one will attract Kansas fans to buy the book and help them see that there's more to Kansas football than this year's losing season.
"I don't think that people will not go out to buy the book because of this season," said Julie Evnen, a senior from Lincoln, Neb. "The team is young, we have a new coach — there's always a chance next season."
For Greene, it was this summer's current events that made publishing the book this year ideal.
Big 12 Conference and all of this attention turned to the KU-MU rivalry and what would happen to it if the schools were in separate conferences."
"This year just made sense because it finished out the decade," Greene said. "Plus you had all of this crazy stuff happening with the
Luckily for Greene and the Jayhawk nation alike, the teams remain in the same conference and continue one of the oldest rivalries in the United States.
interesting," said Adam Magargee, a senior from McKinney, Texas. "It's the second-oldest football rival in the U.S. and there's a lot of history to that."
"I think the rivalry is very

Obama team unveils plan to reduce the deficit
WASHINGTON — In advance of a public unveiling Wednesday, the co-chairmen of President Barack Obama's deficit commission Tuesday promised that they haven't watered down their plan to cut the deficit by almost $4 trillion over the coming decade.
Simpson acknowledged the plan faces an uphill slog with the deficit commission members who'll vote on it later this week. Only Bowles and Simpson are guaranteed to support the plan when the panel votes on Friday.
It would take a supermajority vote of 14 of the 18 panel members to approve recommendations for a possible vote in the lame duck

session of Congress. That seems out of reach, but Bowles says it's just as important to have jumpstarted a national debate on what it'll really take to bring the deficit under control.
"Our goal in this whole process has been really simple." Bowles said. "It's basically been to start an adult conversation here in Washington about the dangers of this debt and

Portions of the plan released by Bowles and Simpson earlier this month would have — among its many politically explosive proposals — curbed future increases in Social Security benefits and raised the program's retirement age.
have one contact with an infectious person," McKee said.

AIDS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
She said these conversations were very important for couples to have while their clothes were still on. That way, they can make choices, such as whether or not to use protection, when they aren't in the heat of the moment. McKee suggested discussing how many people your partner has slept with in the past, whether or not they used protection, and also whether or not they have been tested for STIs, or sexually transmitted infections, a category that includes HIV.
HIV is transmitted through breast milk, blood, vaginal secretions and semen. Although Avert, an international charity that works to prevent the spread of HIV, advises use of a condom, McKee said one of the main ways to prevent HIV is to have a conversation with intimate partners.
"It really goes back to the principle that you sleep with every person your partner has slept with," McKee said. "It scary, but it's also true."
"It's not a very sexy thing to talk about," McKee said. "But you should care enough about yourself and them to ask those questions."
McKee also suggested not engaging in sexual activities while under the influence.
"If two people are drinking, it's really easy to get carried away," McKee said. "The last thing you're going to think to ask is whether or not they've had an STI test."
McKee also encouraged individuals to watch out for their friends.
However, McKee said detecting whether or not someone has become infected with HIV could be tricky. The virus only causes a few symptoms in its earlier stages, such as fever, headache, sore throat and swollen lymph nodes.
McKee said intravenous drug users were also susceptible to contracting the virus, because they often share dirty needles to shoot drugs into their veins.
McKee said an HIV diagnosis today is not a death sentence. She said individuals could lead normal lives for many years if they receive treatment in the earlier stages of the illness.
In addition, Saha said research shows that as HIV progresses to AIDS, it happens slower among college students. So, it might take 10 years or more to feel the more severe symptoms.
"If they want to go home with someone they don't know very well, tell them if they're still thinking about him tomorrow morning to give him a call." McKee said. "But tonight, they just need to come home with you, because you just don't know."
McKee said getting tested for the virus was the best method, of detection, and she suggested, individuals get tested between partners, even if they have only engaged in protected sex in the past.

Honeybees turn honey cherry red
NEW YORK — A bunch of Brooklyn bees have been coming home looking flushed.
New York City beekeeper Cerise Mayo was puzzled when her bees started showing up with mysterious red coloring. Their honey also turned as red as cough syrup. She tells The New York Times a friend joked that the bees were imbibing the runoff at Dell's Maraschino Cherries Company, in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. Mayo
— whose first name means "cherry" in French — raises bees in that neighborhood and across the water on Governor's Island.
Tests confirmed the bees were riddled with Red Dye No. 40 — the same food coloring found in the cherry juice. Bee expert Andrew Cote tells the newspaper that bees had been creating a big nuisance at the factory.
The solution? Put up screens or provide a closer source of sweet nectar.
