Author: Boys misunderstood I GURIAN from page 1 manage their energy.” Ross Thompson, UNL psy chology professor, said Pollack and Gurian’s thinking isn’t that far apart. “In reality, they are fairly small differences in a sea of agreements,” he said. Thompson said there have been many attention-grabbing books that have shed light orf the state of adolescence recent ly “Reviving Ophelia," a book about adolescent girls by Lincoln author Mary Pipher, is one example, he said. “It’s delightful to see our society is focusing on the diffi culties of adolescent girls and boys,” Thompson said, “It is good to realize that boys are very vulnerable.” Gurian points to the fact that there are more men in jail per capita in the United States than in any other country. Men are two to three times as likely to be hit by a parent and twice as likely as young women to be killed by a parent, Gurian said. “Boys are in trouble," he said. Given these statistics, Sharon Kolbet/DN Michael Gurian answers questions at the end of his Tuesday evening speech at the BryanLGH Medical Center East. Gurian, a family therapist who focuses on the needs of adolescent boys, spoke on his recent book "The Good Son: Shaping the Moral Development of Our Boys and Young Men." Gurian encourages families to plan a way for both parents to be involved in a son's upbringing. Nothing can replace a father figure, he said. Many single mothers have raised their chil dren on their own, but it can be a stressful situation. “For some single moms it works, and for others it doesn’t,” Gurian said. Society needs to educate boys on how to become men and needs to educate adults, especially women, about what a boy is, he said. ASUN to vote on bill supporting partner benefits ASUH from page 1 benefits in the form of health insurance. Only state-recognized spouses of UNL faculty and staff members are eligible for such benefits. Arts and Sciences Sen. Angela Clements, author of the bill, said the fight for UNL faculty and staff members to receive domestic partner benefits has been going on for 11 years. Not having the benefits has affected UNL’s workforce, she said. “I think that we’re more than losing faculty - we’ve probably not attracted both gay and straight faculty because of the lack of domestic partner bene fits,” she said. Shafer said he expects the bill to pass. "It’s an issue that most people on the senate are committed to," he said. With the collective efforts of all University of Nebraska system campuses - the University of Nebraska at Omaha passed a similar bill in April - Clements said the Board of Regents will rec ognize the issue deserves atten tion. But so far, the NU Board of Regents has avoided dealing with domestic partner benefits, she said. “Sooner or later, the Board of Regents won’t be able to ignore the issue,” she said. But, Clements said, all strides made in the fight for domestic partner benefits could be lost if a ballot initiative is passed that would ban same-sex marriages, civil unions and domestic part nerships.

The Almanac’s loyal users swear its weather predictions are 80 to 85 percent correct, according to its Web site. The National Weather Service elects to use more tradi tional and scientific methods to predict the weather, Smith said. The Climate Prediction Center in Washington, D.C., uses a process based on past weather patterns and present conditions to make long-term predictions, he said. Of course, whether you buy into the scientific methods of the Weather Service or the folk lore of the Farmer’s Almanac, Smith and Duncan agreed pre dicting the weather is never an exact science.

Health and Human Services requested $100 million to fund aid programs for individuals, including Medicaid, he said. Peterson said the federal government matches state spending on Medicaid based on a rate determined by the quality of the state’s economy. Because Nebraska’s econo my will probably be evaluated as good, state Medicaid bills will rise, he said. ■ Educational spending dilemmas concerning increased teacher salaries and lower prop erty tax levies will further com pound budget issues. The Legislature’s education committee will hear recom mendations, which include a $180 million initiative to increase teacher salaries, from a task force assigned to the issue, Peterson said. Part of the money will be used to offset lost revenues caused by the state legislature’s decision to lower property tax levies from $1.10 to $1, he said. Peterson said it will be diffi cult to make cuts because some proposals are “pie in the sky requests," while others are pru dent. dailyneb.com All You Care Tb Eat Original Sauce Spaghetti, Plus a Trip Tb Our Garden Fresh Salad Bar & Two Slices Garlic Cheese Bread Oiler good for Lunch or Dinner.
