City moving ahead on new capital improvement list

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

The asphalt is still sticky, the concrete is still wet and the orange cones are still abundant.

But Lawrence City Hall is already planning for its next round of construction projects.

City commissioners at their

weekly meeting approved a series of resolutions that will allow the city to secure about $18 million worth of financing this fall to fund projects that range from street repairs to improvements at the city’s skateboard park.

“We think the timing for this is good,” City Manager David Corliss said.

Despite the recent downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, Corliss said rates in the bond market continue to go down. A majority of the $18 million in debt will involve refinancing projects that already have been approved.

But commissioners also set the wheels in motion for several

new projects. They include: ● $150,000 for the city to contribute toward an $8 million state project to replace the 23rd Street bridge near Haskell Indian Nations University. The city’s contribution will go toward upgraded street lighting, ornamental railings and upgraded concrete approaches for the

ACLU sues over abortion regulation

KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit challenging a new Kansas law that restricts insurance coverage for abortions, arguing that the measure discriminates against women.

The ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri claims the law is unconstitutional because it prohibits women from buying insurance coverage for all of their health needs and doesn’t put a similar restriction on Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo men.

KU seeking depressed individuals for study Dr. Stephen Ilardi, a clinical researcher in the Department of Psychology at Kansas University, and his research team are recruiting depressed individuals to participate in a research study.

Ilardi said the incidents of depression have more than doubled since 1990. It now affects one in four Americans by age 75. He believes the increase is a KANSAS result of our UNIVERSITY lifestyles.

“We were never designed for the sedentary, indoor, socially isolated, sleep-deprived, fast food-laden, frenetic pace of modern life,” he said. “The result is an epidemic of depression.”

KU researchers are testing a 14-week treatment program for depression called Therapeutic Lifestyle Change. The treatment involves changing six basic lifestyle elements: aerobic exercise, high-dose omega-3 supplementation, sunlight exposure, healthy sleep, enhanced social connection and anti-ruminative activities.

Each study participant will receive free TLC treatment, omega-3 supplements, an exercise consultant and the use of a light box.

Participants must be between the ages of 18 and 65, and must meet diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder — not bipolar disorder. They also must be willing to commit to approximately two-hour group meetings once a week for 14 weeks, as well as three weekly exercise sessions. KU hopes to begin the study next month.

To enroll or find out more information about the study, contact the TLC Lab at 8644274, email tlcdepression @gmail.com, or visit the website at psych.ku.edu/tlc.

Commissioners, however, did not have any discussion about the project. Corliss said he anticipates presenting in the next couple of months a more detailed plan to commissioners about the incentives the city may offer to the Poehler project. That will be after commissioners already have issued debt for the project, but Corliss said even then the city won’t be committed to offer the incentives because the city can always choose not to spend the money and simply pay back the debt.

The concept behind such a park is that alternative energy actually would be produced at the park to be used by businesses located in the park.

Tobacco firms sue FDA over labels Four of the five largest U.S. tobacco companies sued the federal government Tuesday over new graphic cigarette labels that include the sewn-up corpse of a smoker and a picture of diseased lungs, saying the warnings violate their free speech rights and will cost millions of dollars to print.

The companies, led by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Lorillard Tobacco Co., said the warnings no longer simply convey facts to allow people to make a decision whether to smoke. They instead force them to put government anti-smoking advocacy more prominently on their packs than their own brands, the companies say. They want a judge to stop the labels.

Obama voices ’lone wolf’ attack concerns President Barack Obama said Tuesday that a “lone wolf” terror attack in the U.S. is more likely than a major coordinated effort like the Sept. 11 attacks nearly a decade ago.

With the nation preparing to observe the 10th anniversary of hijacked airliners crashing in New York and Washington and along the Pennsylvania countryside, Obama said the government is in a state of heightened awareness.

“The biggest concern we have right now is not the launching of a major terrorist operation, although that risk is always there,” the president said in an interview with CNN. “The risk that we’re especially concerned over right now is the lone wolf terrorist, somebody with a single weapon being able to carry out wide-scale massacres of the sort that we saw in Norway recently,” he said.

Court upholds calculation of losses Investors who lost billions of dollars in Bernard Madoff’s massive multidecade fraud are not entitled to recover fake profits that were described to them in phony statements, a federal appeals court said Tuesday.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that a trustee’s calculation of the investors’ losses was “legally sound” and that a bankruptcy court was correct when it rejected arguments from lawyers for investors who said their clients should receive more than what they initially gave to Madoff.

A three-judge panel of the Manhattan court said customer statements showing that initial investments of about $17.3 billion had ballooned to more than $65 billion “reflect impossible transactions and the trustee is not obligated to step into the shoes of the defrauder or treat the customer statements as reflections of reality.”

Panel to recommend higher fines, tougher enforcement

P I T T S B U R G — Last year, the Kansas Board of Regents approved a plan called the Kansas Commitment that would have required $50 million in additional funding for public higher education.

But Gov. Sam Brownback rejected that proposal, saying that the increase wasn’t possible given what at the time was a projected $500 million state budget shortfall.

This time, regents say, they want to get on Brownback’s side in upcoming budget talks.

Fred Logan Jr. of Leawood, who was recently appointed to the regents by Brownback, said Tuesday it would serve the board well to be on the same page as the governor.

vices from seeking $2.2 million a year for three years to pay for counseling that encourages unwed parents to marry, The Kansas City Star reports. State officials said the effort would help reduce child poverty by encouraging stable families.

Kansas Sen. Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, said the Brownback administration’s worldview is influencing which federal dollars the state pursues.

“When it benefits their philosophical ideology, everything is fine,” Hensley said. “Where it doesn’t fit in or goes against them — either from a policy or political standpoint — then the federal money isn’t OK.”

In statements issued to the Star, Brownback’s staff said the administration does not have a blanket policy regarding grants.

Brownback “Each potential grant and the federal requirements that come along with them are evaluated on a case-by-case basis with an increased watchful eye toward long-term mandates with short-term funding streams,” the statements said.

When asked if the state had rejected other grants, Brown-

back’s staff said it’s more accurate to say the state has declined to apply for some grants.

For example, the state isn’t pursuing any part of the $900 million that the federal government will disburse in the next five years to help communities reduce chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. A spokeswoman for the state health department said the grant wasn’t in line with state priorities and concerns were raised about strings attached to the money.

She also said the state could use existing funds to implement some of the same programs.

That filing came after Douglas County District Court Judge Paula Martin ordered Sells and his Junkyard’s Jym Inc., which does business as the Lawrence Athletic Club, to pay $375,641 in unpaid rent to The Caspian Group, his former landlord when the club operated a gym at 1202 E. 23rd St. Sells closed that location in February 2010 and said at the time he did so because of a legal issue.

Program encourages health awareness Kansas youth have the opportunity to become Health Heroes by learning about childhood obesity, designing programs to address it and implementing the programs in their communities.

UnitedHealthcare is providing grants of up to $1,000 to those ages 5 to 25 who help fight the growing epidemic.

One in three children is obese or overweight, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That puts them on the road to lifelong chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

UnitedHealthcare is partnering with Youth Service America to launch the fourth year of the Heroes program. Research has shown that young people who participate in servicelearning programs improve their academic performance and critical-thinking skills, increase their confidence and sense of potential, and accept leadership responsibility.

To date, UnitedHealth has awarded nearly 700 grants to schools and community organizations. Among the projects that have been awarded: Marathon Clubs, school garden clubs, fitness weeks, 4-H projects and new after-school programs.

To obtain an application, visit YSA.org/HEROES. The website contains more information about the program as well as a step-by-step manual that helps youth, parents, teachers and other volunteers deploy YSA service-learning models to fight childhood obesity in their communities.

The deadline to apply for the grant is Oct. 17. Grant recipients will be notified by January.

Pittsburg State dealing with housing crunch PITTSBURG — Some students are finding it difficult to secure housing at Pittsburg State this fall.

Last school year, the university had a record 1,201 students living in its residence halls.

Other factors include a program approved in 2010 that offered in-state tuition to students from seven nearby counties in Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma.

Regents CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

He got general agreement from most of the other regents, who noted that the governor’s budget proposal is frequently given a lot of consideration in the Legislature.

During a retreat at Pittsburg State University, the board discussed its approach in upcoming budget talks with Brownback’s office and the Legislature, which starts the 2012 session in January.

Regents frequently face the dilemma of requesting funds for what they believe is needed to advance higher education in Kansas and what they hope they can get from political leaders.

Leading up to the last legislative session, higher education had been cut $100 million because of the state’s rev-

enue problems during the recession. The regents had sought to make up some of those cuts through the Kansas Commitment.

But Brownback rejected the idea. He did, however, steer clear of deep cuts to higher education and signed into law an initiative to produce more engineering graduates.

The regents will meet with Brownback today.

Several board members and university leaders said they hoped to be able to make the case with Brownback that the schools need some additional funding for pay raises for faculty who have not seen a general increase in several years.

“We have lost ground with faculty (pay) in the last three years,” said Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.

She said faculty salaries at KU are below that of peer universities, and KU is start-

Board discusses NCI designation PITTSBURG — Kansas Board of Regents new member Fred Logan Jr. of Leawood wants to make sure that if Kansas University doesn’t get National Cancer Institute designation on its first attempt, no one despairs.

“I have a concern that many people think it’s quote ‘in the bag,’” said Logan on Tuesday at the regents retreat. “It is more typical than not that you don’t get it the first time.”

KU is scheduled to apply next month for NCI designation of its Cancer Center. Winning the designation would increase dollars available for treatment of cancer patients.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said Logan’s concern was appropriate. She said KU has done what is necessary to qualify for designation but many factors are outside KU’s control, such as funding of NCI. She said KU could apply again if turned down the first time.

Logan said the Legislature’s $5 million annual appropriation to help KU in the effort has been one of the most important commitments made by legislators. He said if KU doesn’t win designation on the first effort that shouldn’t be interpreted as a failure.

ing to lose some of its best professors to other schools that provide better offers.

She said when KU fails to retain a star researcher, it also loses research grants that person brings in, plus the investments that KU made.

Gray-Little said even when KU is able to increase a salary to retain a top-notch instructor, that creates tension down the line to increase other salaries.

Regent Chairman Ed McKechnie of Arcadia said he hoped to be able to put together a budget proposal that would provide for a merit increase for faculty.

Pittsburg State President Steve Scott said classified employees also need a raise.

“The classified are not doing well. We’ve got some real morale issues growing,” he said.

students propelled University Relations to go beyond publishing the usual helpful student fare like news releases, printed brochures, student directories and wall calendars. These tactics are still employed, but social media platforms allow important news to get out to more people faster. The primary Twitter account @KUNews has more than 7,700 followers.

“What we’ll do sometimes with the Twitter feed is use it for emergency management or updates,” Henning said.

“This winter when we had snow days, we used the Twitter account to let people know that campus was closed when it was too icy to drive.”

The Office of Admissions is using social media as well and promotes pages for high

Johnson County as part of the plan would provide the state with 20 percent of the funds for the Johnson County stretch.

school students who are looking to attend KU. There is a page for the Classes KANSAS of 2015, 2016 and 2017, and UNIVERSITY all three are focused on building a community among soon-to-be Jayhawks.

“We get more open conversation with students on Facebook sometimes than we do on the phone or email,” said Lauren Erickson, assistant director of communications for the Office of Admissions.

Sometimes social media campaigns are just for fun.

Last year, a Facebook “Hawku” contest encouraged students to write their own haikus about the university.

“We got back some really clever little rhymes about the university at large,” Henning said, “and we took our favorite six and turned them

into advertisements for the university which were then featured and promoted on buses around campus.”

Even though people have been empowered within their university organizations to use social media outlets to spread their message, somebody still has to make sure that message stays on target. As social media coordinator, Henning manages or oversees 157 KU-related Facebook pages.

The accounts themselves are approved by Henning, but the maintenance and upkeep of those accounts are handled by people within the specific school or organization. He describes his role as “active but passive,” meaning he monitors all engagement on KU pages, and if direction or assistance is needed, he can step in.

So has Henning sacrificed his personal Facebook account to the university?

“I wouldn’t say sacrificed,” he says. “I’d say ‘enhanced.’”

Cainan Shutt’s grandmother Carie Lawrence, a committee member, said hundreds of people have signed a petition asking the state to install cable median barriers because they believe K-10 is an unsafe highway. KDOT off icials have said cable median barriers won’t stop all injuries and deaths.

“I’m not here to say we don’t want to put cable median barriers up on K-10,” Adams said. “We just want to make sure that if we do we don’t create a problem worse than what we have out there now.”

Adams also told committee members KDOT has awarded a $4.3 million bid to Hamm

Co. of Perry to begin work on expanding shoulders on K-10 in Douglas County and installing rumble strips on the inside shoulder meant to alert drivers who veer onto it.

The project, scheduled to begin in September and end Nov. 4, also includes milling and repaving of the driving lanes.

$360M lost to insurgents, criminals

By Deb Riechmann and Richard Lardner

Perry’s colorful tongue takes the national stage

By Paul J. Weber Associated Press

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — After examining hundreds of combat support and reconstruction contracts in Afghanistan, the U.S military estimates $360 million in U.S. tax dollars has ended up in the hands of people the American-led coalition has spent nearly a decade battling: the Taliban, criminals, and power brokers with ties to both.

The losses underscore the challenges the U.S. and its international partners face in overcoming corruption in Afghanistan. A central part of the Obama administration’s strategy has been to award U.S.-financed contracts to Afghan businesses to help improve quality of life and stoke the country’s economy.

But until a special task force assembled by Gen. David Petraeus began its investigation last year, the coalition had little visibility into the connections many Afghan companies and their vast network of subcontractors had with insurgents and criminals — groups military officials call “malign actors.”

In a murky process known as “reverse money laundering,” payments from the U.S. pass through companies hired by the military for transportation, construction, power projects, fuel and other services to businesses and individuals with ties to the insurgency or criminal networks, according to interviews and task force documents obtained by the AP. “Funds begin as clean monies,” according to one document, then “either through direct payments or through the flow of funds in the subcontractor network, the monies become tainted.”

The conclusions by Task Force 2010 represent the most definitive assessment of how U.S. military spending and aid to Afghanistan has been diverted to the enemy or stolen. Only a small percentage of the $360 million

A U.S. MILITARY CONVOY PASSES THE MAIN ROAD of the Ghazni province, west of Kabul, Afghanistan, in this Aug. 2, 2007, photo. The U.S. military estimates that $360 million spent on combat support and reconstruction contracts in Afghanistan has ended up in the hands of people the American-led coalition has battled for nearly a decade: the Taliban, criminals and local power brokers with ties to both. has been garnered by the Taliban and insurgent groups, said a senior U.S. military official in Kabul. The bulk of the money was lost to profiteering, bribery and extortion by criminals and power brokers, said the official, who declined to provide a specific breakdown.

The official requested anonymity to discuss the task force’s ongoing investigation into the movement of U.S. contract money in Afghanistan. The documents obtained by AP were prepared earlier this year and provide an overview of the task force’s work.

Overall, the $360 million represents a fraction of the $31 billion in active U.S. contracts that the task force reviewed. But insurgents rely on crude weaponry and require little money to operate.

And the illicit gains buttress what the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based

think tank, referred to in a June report as a “nexus between criminal enterprises, insurgent networks and corrupt political elites” in Afghanistan.

More than half the losses flowed through a large transportation contract called Host Nation Trucking, the official said. Eight companies served as prime contractors and hired a web of nearly three dozen subcontractors for vehicles and convoy security to ship huge amounts of food, water, fuel and ammunition to American troops stationed at bases across Afghanistan.

The Defense Department announced Monday that it had selected 20 separate contractors for a new transportation contract potentially worth $983.5 million to replace Host Nation Trucking. Officials said the new arrangement will reduce the reliance on subcontrac-

tors and diminish the risk of money being lost. Under the new National Afghan Trucking Services contract, the military will be able to choose from a deeper pool of companies competing against one another to offer the best price to move supplies. The new arrangement also gives the U.S. more flexibility in determining whether security is needed for supply convoys and who should provide it, according to a description of the contract.

The Pentagon did not provide the names of the 20 companies picked due to worries that larger contractors who weren’t selected might try and coerce them into a takeover, the senior defense official said. None of the eight prime contractors affiliated with the Host Nation Trucking contract are part of the new arrangement, the official added.

SAN ANTONIO — In the words of Gov. Rick Perry, secession was one scenario on the table for frustrated Texans. The BP oil spill? Might have been an act of God instead of corporate errors.

And if the Federal Reserve puts more money in the U.S. system, as Perry told voters in Iowa this week, you could chalk it up as a treasonous act that would be treated “pretty ugly” back home.

No, that wasn’t on the same level as his famous interview signoff, “Adios, mofo.” But Perry’s just warming up.

Just four days after launching his GOP presidential run, the man from Paint Creek, Texas, already is showing off a colorful tongue. The 61-year-old with maybe the most famous jogging-while-armed story ever — “Don’t attack my dog or you might get shot ... if you’re a coyote” — may emerge as the most quotable candidate in the Republican field.

But will that hurt as well as help him?

The governor’s mouth may come across as amusing to some Texans who have grown accustomed to “Perryisms” over his decades in public office. Now, however, he’s on a larger stage with a brighter spotlight. Will his quips be a plus — something for voters to identify with — or a vulnerability in the campaign?

Obama said Tuesday he was inclined to cut the governor “some slack” since it was so early in his run. The president was asked on CNN about Perry’s sug-

gestion that military members would respect the Texan more than him because Perry served in the military and he didn’t.

Not everyone was so understanding about Perry’s latest comments.

“Inappropriate and unpresidential,” tweeted Tony Fratto, a Republican who worked at the Treasury Department and in the White House under President George W. Bush.

That was his quick verdict after Perry said at a campaign appearance Monday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would be committing a “treasonous” act if he decided to “print more money to boost the economy.” Perry said such action by the Fed would amount to a political maneuver aimed at helping President Barack Obama win re-election.

He stood by that comment later, telling reporters on Tuesday in Dubuque, Iowa: “I am just passionate about the issue, and we stand by what we said.”

On Monday, Perry also said he would be a president who was “passionate about America — that’s in love with America.” Asked whether he was suggesting that Obama didn’t love his country, Perry said, “You need to ask him.”

Obama campaign adviser Robert Gibbs hit back Tuesday.

“The statements that Perry makes are remarkable in that just two years ago, the governor of Texas openly talked about leading Texas out of the United States of America, and now this campaign has caused him to profess his love to the United States,” Gibbs said during an appearance MSNBC.

Panetta says bigger defense New doubt cast on Murdoch’s denial cuts would ’weaken’ U.S.

By Raphael G. Satter and Jill Lawless

Associated Press

SECRETARY OF STATE Hillary Rodham Clinton listens as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta speaks during an event in Washington on Tuesday.

By Robert Burns Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Large new cuts in defense spending would “terribly weaken” U.S. national security, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Tuesday as he and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton used a rare joint interview to argue that the nation cannot afford to keep playing partisan chicken with its finances.

Panetta expressed optimism about progress by American-led forces against the Taliban in Afghanistan and by NATO forces in support of anti-government rebels in Libya. He cited those conflicts as examples of why severe cuts to spending on defense and diplomacy would be dangerous.

Panetta said the Pentagon is prepared to make $350 billion in cuts over the next 10 years, as agreed by Congress. But he warned of dangers to the national defense if bigger reductions are required.

The recent deficit compromise reached between the White House and Congress set up a special bipartisan committee to draft legislation to find more government cuts. If the committee cannot agree on a deficitreduction plan by year’s end or if Congress rejects its proposal, it would trigger

some $500 billion in additional reductions in projected national security spending.

“This kind of massive cut across the board, which would literally double the number of cuts that we’re confronting, that would have devastating effects on our national defense; it would have devastating effects on certainly the State Department,” Panetta said.

Clinton said Americans should understand that in addition to preserving military strength, it is in the nation’s security interests to maintain the State Department’s role in diplomacy and development. She suggested that the political stalemate over spending cuts has put that in jeopardy.

“It does cast a pall over our ability to project the kind of security interests that are in America’s interests,” she said.

“This is not about the

Defense Department or the State Department. ... This is about the United States of America. And we need to have a responsible conversation about how we are going to prepare ourselves for the future.”

Clinton acknowledged that it is harder to defend the State Department budget than military spending.

“It’s a harder case because I think there’s a lot of both misunderstanding and rejection of the work that is done by the State Department,” she said.

She and Panetta appeared together at National Defense University in an interview conducted by Frank Sesno, director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at George Washington University. Several members of the audience, which included military and civilian officials, also posed questions.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ● Former U.S. President Bill Clinton launched a new business loan program in Haiti on Tuesday aimed at helping bolster an economy that was devastated by the January 2010 earthquake.

Clinton said the first loan in the $20 million program is being made to Caribbean Craft, which produces colorful goods such as carnival masks, sculptures and paintings for export and lost its workshop in the earthquake.

The company is receiving a loan of $415,000, with interest to be paid back to the program to help make additional loans in the future, Clinton told reporters as he toured Caribbean Craft’s workshop near the airport in Port-auPrince. He said the money will help the operation hire 200 more workers. He didn’t say how many employees it has now.

Leaders propose eurozone government

By Greg Keller and Juergen Baetz Associated Press

P A R I S — The leaders of France and Germany called Tuesday for greater economic discipline and unity among European nations but declined to take immediate financial measures seen by many investors as the only way to halt the continent’s spiraling debt crisis.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell, the euro slid against the dollar and key European markets edged down in off-hour trading after Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the results of their emergency talks in Paris.

Sarkozy called for a “new economic government” for Europe that would meet at least twice a year with European Union President Herman Van Rompuy as its head, but he offered few other details or indications that the body would have real power.

Merkel and Sarkozy also called for all eurozone nations to enact constitutional amendments requiring balanced budgets. They said they want the process completed by the summer of 2012, but it would almost certainly run into protracted political difficulties in many countries.

Both leaders said the moment was not right to replace 17 government bonds with a single one allowing weaker economies to borrow

in cooperation with the powerhouse economies of France and Germany. A growing number of experts are calling for the eurobond as a way to prevent the unaffordable interest rates that have driven Greece, Ireland, and Portugal to seek bailouts from the eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund.

New figures show slowing French and German growth, and the German government fears it would face higher borrowing costs and more risks if it had to borrow jointly with financially shaky nations.

Merkel and Sarkozy also said they did not want to increase the size of the EU’s 440 billion euro rescue fund, which may have to take over a massive, multibillion euro European Central Bank program to support the prices of Spanish and Italian bonds by buying them up on the open market. The ECB spent 22 billion euros ($32 billion) in the first week of the program alone and says it wants to hand off that responsibility in coming months to the rescue fund, or European Financial Stability Facility.

Sarkozy described the EFSF’s current funding as “a considerable sum” and “sufficient.”

The two leaders also proposed a Europe-wide tax on financial transactions and pledged to harmonize their countries’ corporate taxes in a move aimed at showing the eurozone’s largest members are “marching in lockstep” to protect the euro.

LONDON — Lawyers and former executives have cast fresh doubt on the denials made by Rupert and James Murdoch over Britain’s phone hacking scandal, raising the prospect that the media tycoon’s son could be recalled for a new grilling by U.K. legislators.

In written testimony released by lawmakers Tuesday, former Murdoch lieutenants poked holes in the dramatic testimony delivered by their ex-bosses before Parliament last month, accusing them of misrepresentations, exaggerations and more.

Claims made by the Murdochs carried “serious inaccuracies,” ex-News International lawyer Jonathan Chapman said in a letter to the House of Commons’ media committee, rejecting the notion that the two had been kept in the dark by subordinates.

“Nobody kept Mr. James

Murdoch or any other News International/News Corporation executives from being in full possession of the facts,” he said.

Other former executives contradicted James Murdoch’s assertion that he hadn’t been aware of a critical piece of evidence implying that illegal eavesdropping had been far more widespread than News International had previously claimed. The evidence, contained in an email apparently addressed to a senior News of the World reporter, appeared to rip apart the company’s fiercely-held claim that the illegal espionage campaign was limited to former royal editor Clive Goodman, who’d already been jailed over the practice.

James Murdoch told lawmakers he wasn’t aware of the email at the time, but his former legal adviser Tom Crone said that he’d specifically flagged it to his attention during a brief meeting in June of 2008.

“I have no doubt that I informed Mr. Murdoch of its existence, of what it was and where it came from,” Crone said in a letter.

Some of the most scathing attacks on Rupert Murdoch came from his former law f irm, Harbottle & Lewis, which accused his company of misusing its legal advice.

The London-based firm said it was asked to perform a narrow review of emails at the News of the World following an employment claim made by Goodman, who’d lost his job after pleading guilty to phone hacking in 2007.

In Parliament, both Murdochs presented this as evidence that Harbottle & Lewis had thoroughly vetted the paper — something the law firm rejected.

“There was absolutely no question of the firm being asked to provide News International with a clean bill of health,” the law firm said in a statement.

EDITORIALS

Big 12 pride Losing the Big 12 Conference would be a big blow to the identity and pride of the nation’s heartland.

T

he future of the Big 12 Conference once again is in flux.

With rumors swirling that Texas A&M is considering a move to the Southeastern Conference, the other schools that remain in the Big 12 must take a hard look at what’s in the best interests not only of their own schools but also of the league as a whole.

As Big 12 schools in Kansas and elsewhere consider the future of the league, they should remember and respect the important role the Big 12 Conference plays in our regional identity. If, as some observers predict, the Big 12 simply disintegrates, scattering its member schools to the winds, it would be a huge loss for the nation’s heartland.

The association with a major conference is a benefit for the academic and research functions of the universities. It’s a group of schools that have some things in common beyond simple geography. They serve states that have some of the same needs and values, and they can learn from one another.

The most visible manifestation of those associations, however, occurs in athletic competition. It was sad to see the traditional Kansas rivalries with Nebraska and Colorado come to an end, but in the money-motivated world of college athletics, tradition didn’t matter much when other conferences made the schools a better financial offer.

So now Nebraska is part of the Big 10, which marginally makes sense, but Colorado in the renamed Pac 12? Colorado is a long way from the Pacific Ocean, and its state identity doesn’t seem to match up very well with other states in the conference — not to mention that many conference games now will be so far away that they will be difficult for students and other fans to attend.

Where would KU go if the Big 12 falls apart?

The Big 10 (or 14 or 16) would be an option.

Some observers also mention the Big East.

The Big East? Kansas isn’t in the East. It might make for some good basketball matchups, but, again, most Kansans wouldn’t be able to travel to away games.

And what about our pride in representing the center of the nation? What about the opportunity members of the Big 12 have from time to time to prove that not everything good or important happens on the East Coast or the West Coast? States in the center of the nation already are becoming marginalized when it comes to the nation’s awareness. The loss of the Big 12 would only contribute to that trend.

We are told by KU officials that they are on top of this situation. Not long ago, representatives of KU and other Big 12 conference schools assured their alumni that the new conference alignment was solid for years to come.

They were mistaken then, as they are today.

There is no justification to think the present conference membership is guaranteed for any specific number of years.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger must consider future possibilities and not be caught again in such a naked and vulnerable position.

Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Missouri surely all are thinking of bolting from the Big 12.

Where does that leave KU?

Voters yearn for more compromise

By Dick Polman The Philadelphia Inquirer

If George Washington could witness the partisan warfare that has come to dominate the nation’s capital, he would probably ask to have his name removed.

I’d suggest calling it Dysfunction Junction, at least until that seemingly distant day when politicians can again demonstrate a fundamental ability to govern.

As evidenced by the ginned-up debt-ceiling crisis and the jerryrigged fiscal deal that virtually guarantees more episodes of brinkmanship, the DemocraticRepublican duopoly now appears bent on alienating as many voters as possible. And it’s doing a heckuva job. Never before in the history of polling have Americans voiced so much contempt for politicians or yearned so fiercely to throw the bums out.

The problem is that today’s elected leaders (I use that word advisedly) are far more ideologically polarized than the general citizenry. Too many politicians — especially the tea-party Republicans who held the debt ceiling hostage and drove us to the brink of default — do not believe in the art of compromise as practiced by the Founding Fathers they profess to revere.

Meanwhile, according to a new national poll, 85 percent of Americans want lawmakers to compromise for the greater good.

Poor view of Congress This disconnect helps explain why only 14 percent of Americans (and only 11 percent of swing-voting independents) have a favorable view of Congress, while only 15 percent believe most of its members deserve to be reelected. This is unprecedented: People are angrier now than they were going into the 1994, 2006, and 2010 midterm

often occurs during “hardAstimes, many Americans are yearning for a magical solution — for instance, a third party that would break the dysfunctional duopoly.”

elections, all of which turned out to be tsunamis that toppled or severely weakened the ruling party in Congress.

A historic anti-incumbent wave seems to be in the offing — one that could portend power shifts in Congress and the White House. The polls suggest that swing voters are disillusioned with P resident Obama and angry at congressional Democrats, but they’re even more ticked off at cong ressional Republicans. What we don’t know is whether anything better would emerge from the wave’s wreckage.

If, for instance, we wind up with a Republican president and divided power on Capitol Hill, gridlock would likely continue.

The debt standoff was no sudden freak of nature; it had been developing for decades, ever since deal-making centrists began to disappear (in the 24/7 media as well as in government) and uncivil ideologues began to take their place.

The risk of governmental paralysis will remain no matter how the voters sort out the political players. Indeed, the credit downgrade by Standard & Poor’s was in part a thumbs-down verdict on our current politics — a dire forecast of further paralysis.

Granted, the rating agency has rightly taken heat for its handsoff behavior during the subprime-mortgage scandal, but its vote of no confidence in this case seems right on the money.

A third-party solution?

As often occurs during hard times, many Americans are yearning for a magical solution — for instance, a third party that would break the dysfunctional duopoly. Gallup says 68 percent of independent voters currently embrace that idea. Third-party fans are fond of pointing out that Ross Perot garnered 19 percent of the vote in 1992 despite being widely perceived as nuts. And that was in an era when Capitol Hill was still dominated by across-the-aisle deal-makers such as Sam Nunn, Bill Bradley, Bob Dole and Mark Hatfield (who died last week).

The latest brainstorm on the third-party front is Americans Elect, which is financed with $20 million from mostly anonymous donors (wait, wasn’t secrecy supposed to be a bad thing?) and fronted by an impressive board of directors, including ex-Bush strategist Mark McKinnon and Democratic pollster Doug Schoen. True to our digital era, the group is inviting Americans to nominate an independent presidential ticket via a virtual primary conducted on the Internet. It’s also working to get on all ballots nationwide — which may be a tall order given election laws that protect the duopoly in Pennsylvania and many other states.

The goal is to seize the middle ground — what Colin Powell has called the “sensible center” — that the polarized major parties seem to have abandoned. It’s an admirable plan, but it has an inherent flaw: Voters have very different definitions of the sensible center.

Last autumn, 62 percent of teaparty-affiliated Americans told Gallup that a third party would be a swell idea. Their idea of centrism includes preserving the Bush tax cuts for the rich and shredding the federal safety net that has protected average citi-

zens since the New Deal. Sixtyone percent of liberals also told Gallup that a third party would be a swell idea. Their centrism would kill those tax cuts and keep the safety net.

Americans Elect leaders have reportedly been fantasizing about a Gen. David Petraeus-Michael Bloomberg ticket. (Bloomberg’s name has been floated for higher office every year since 2006, often by Bloomberg.) But for now, that scenario seems as solid as skywriting. All we know for sure in these dolorous dog days is that the major parties will continue to test our patience.

GOP held hostage And I won’t pretend that both parties are equally at fault. The bottom line is that the polls show most Americans want compromise and believe the budget chasm can be narrowed effectively only with a mix of spending cuts and revenue increases.

But the Republicans, hostage to tea-party absolutism, do not want compromise and refuse to entertain any revenue increases.

Senate Republican leaders said last week that they reserve the right to threaten future credit defaults and government shutdowns to get what they want.

In response, the Democrats — with Obama “leading from behind” — will likely sustain their habit of going belly up when the chips are down.

This is no way to run a country, but it’s a guaranteed way to stoke even more public anger. We’ve long been comforted by Winston Churchill’s assertion that “democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried.” But these days, much to our detriment, the duopoly seems to be woefully short of democratic values.

Favorable winds To the editor: As a child, I remember the saying “Tis an ill wind that blows no good.” This seems to describe the current Kansas political climate.

Our U.S. Constitution charges government to “promote the general welfare.” Despite lip service to this ideal, the current administration’s behavior is quite different. The rhetoric and aim of legislative policies is that government is demonized, downsized and privatized.

Recent budget proposals further advantage the wealthy and politically powerful. The rights of teachers, state employees, workers, women, the arts and new immigrants are attacked. The result is expanding the divide between the upper-income elite and 90 percent of us. What does it mean when almost one of every six Americans is on food stamps?

However, there is a “good wind” with an increased awareness of social injustices and exploitation. The many rallies, meetings, letters and petitions supporting rights of employees, immigrants, health care, the arts,

the environment, and to maintain the basic human services of SRS are all “good winds.”

Kansas has a long history of being in the vanguard of “promoting the general welfare.” In the mid-19th century Kansas, as a Free State, arose from Bleeding Kansas. In the early 20th century, the populist movement arose to challenge monopolistic exploitation. In 1960, Kansas led the nation in Mental Health Reform.

An informed citizenry is essential for a more compassionate and healthier society. This will provide more, better and satisfying jobs for Kansans.

Shared smile To the editor: The other day, I saw a man sitting on the curb outside a store.

He had a backpack on the ground in front of him with a dog lying on it, which he was shading from the sun with a cardboard sign.

“NEED WORK,” the sign said.

Fishing for a dollar, I noticed that the dog was wet.

“He’s wet.”

“She.” “Oh, sorry.”

“It’s to keep her cool.”

He went on to explain that the backpack contained cold water bottles to help keep her cool. “I ain’t no fool,” he said, grinning at the comedy of the dog’s cool waterbed.

That dollar isn’t going to change his life. It might buy five cigarettes.

A cup of coffee is a buck and a half.

The real gift, of which we were both recipients, was the shared sense of our humanity, understanding that we could enjoy a laugh over small things.

There has been some discussion in Lawrence about the issue of people on Massachusetts asking for money. Someone suggested installing contribution boxes as a way to discourage folks from asking for help. Metal boxes could be mounted on posts for a cost of about $300 each, not counting administrative costs.

But there might be a terrible cost if they become a substitute for recognizing the things we share with the people we pass on the sidewalk downtown.

Dan Dimmitt, Lawrence

Group effort To the editor: As members of the Kay Valley Chapter of the Old Women’s League, we offer our thanks and praise to our local authorities and to the community for stepping up and working together to find a solution to keep our SRS office open.

NEA denies Kansas funding TOPEKA — The National Endowment for the Arts says it cannot offer matching federal grants to Kansas this year because the state is no longer funding its own program.

Gov. Sam Brownback vetoed state aid to the Kansas Arts Commission, essentially leaving an agency with no budget or staff.

He proposed fundraising be handled by a new nongovernment foundation and maintained the state would be eligible for NEA funding.

But Victoria Hutter, spokeswoman for NEA in Washington, told The Topeka Capital-Journal on Tuesday that the state’s decision to withdraw state aid to its arts commission prevented federal grant support in the fiscal year starting in October.

In the past, Kansas invested about $700,000 annually to secure $1.3 million in external grants for arts programs scattered throughout the state.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Top 10 players to watch Fullback Nick Sizemore gives the Kansas University football team a short-yardage back, a physical pass-blocker in the backfield and a guy who in some packages can plow the way for smaller backs.

Inside linebacker Darius Willis gives the Jayhawks a man in the middle who can move, always a nice asset.

Watching how Sizemore and Willis fit into their new team and new conference after competing for Turner Gill at Buffalo qualify as reasons to take an interest in the program, but they already have played Div. I football. Few things captivate the imagination of a sports fan quite like watching someone compete at a new level for the first time.

Human nature is such that we want to believe the new always will trump the old. We want to believe the only reason the next Gale Sayers, this generation’s John Riggins and a modern-day Nolan Cromwell haven’t lit up Memorial Stadium is because they haven’t played an official game.

Who knows, the next KU legend just might make his first appearance this season. A look at 10 guys I’m most eager to watch.

1. Darrian Miller, RB: So many great backs are faster when being chased than when running for a stopwatch. The great Walter Payton — though not as great a back as Earl Campbell — comes to mind. Miller has this quality. His 40 time? One step faster than the guy chasing him.

2. Brandon Bourbon, RB: He looks big in pads and fast on the stopwatch. Can’t wait to see how that translates against Big 12 defenses. He wants to earn a spot as a kick returner so that he can do what he wasn’t able to do in high school, when they always tried to kick away from him. He said he did get to field a kick on three occasions and returned two of them for a touchdown. Red-shirt year helped him to make transition from a small high school.

3. Tony Pierson, RB: Not big, but the fastest jet in the hangar and shifty too.

4. Michael Cummings, QB: Draws raves for his smarts, quick feet and strong arm. It’s too much to learn for a guy who just graduated in May and he’s not yet a year removed from ACL surgery, but he has the look of a winner, even if he doesn’t get a shot this year.

5. Jimmay Mundine, TE: Lessthan-perfect attendance record during summer conditioning raises caution flag, but this redshirt freshman is a serious athlete with a good pair of hands.

6. Tunde Bakare, OLB: Undersized linebacker built reputation as a hard-hitting, fast-moving energizer in junior college and has the caught coaching staff’s attention with his speed in practice.

7. Collin Garrett, ILB: Smart true freshman already is pushing the veterans for playing time.

8. Michael Reynolds, OLB: A year from now, once Reynolds is running in the right direction every play, he could hunt the quarterback from one side while Toben Opurum hunts him from the other. Poor quarterback.

9. JaCorey Shepherd, WR: Is the most advanced of the freshman receivers and could work his way into the mix. Singlecover him at your own risk.

10. Malcolm Walker, OLB: Defensive coordinator said none of the defensive backs would want to challenge this 220-pound juco transfer to a race.

Still the one?

KANSAS UNIVERSITY QUARTERBACK JORDAN WEBB PREPARES TO PASS TO A RECEIVER as the Jayhawks run through plays during practice on Tuesday at the KU practice fields. Kansas coaches haven’t officially named a starting quarterback, but the sophomore Webb figures to be the favorite entering the fall season.

Webb remains in position to take starting QB spot

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With just 18 days remaining before Kansas University’s first football game of the 2011 season, the battles for starting spots in preseason camp are starting to heat up. But few seem as hot as the competition at the team’s most visible position — quarterback.

As was the case a year ago, KU coach Turner Gill and offensive coordinator Chuck Long continue to evaluate their options at QB as camp moves into its third week.

Little has changed from a week ago, when Gill said sophomore

be counted on for production on the line. Page 3B

● Matt Tait’s KU football notebook:

What will the loss of injured Patrick Dorsey mean to the Jayhawks? Page 3B

Jordan Webb and senior Quinn Mecham were at the top of the depth chart at QB, but, with the days leading up to game week dwindling, the time is nearing for the coaches to name a starter.

As has been the case since the end of spring ball, Webb has the slight lead in the race. But Gill said Mecham remained close and that the competition would continue for a little longer.

“We want to go through three or four more days and then maybe sit down with Chuck and see where we’re at,” said Gill, when asked if he was ready to name a starter. “I feel very good about Mecham and Jordan Webb being the catalysts to run our football team. We’ll make a decision here sometime soon.”

For Long, the ideal timing for an announcement would come sometime early next week.

“Within 10 days of the first game, that’s what you like to do,” Long said. “That way you give him a chance to talk about it with the media and do some other things.

But coach Gill may extend that. He may go to the week before. He may do it tomorrow. But 10 days is always optimal, just because he can settle in a little and then focus on the opponent that next week.”

While some of the battle has played out in practice with performance in drills, leadership and overall demeanor all being closely scrutinized, the other part of the Please see QBs, page 3B

Questions linger for KU at D-Tackle

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Nick Krug/Journal-World File Photo

KANSAS UNIVERSITY DEFENSIVE TACKLE PATRICK DORSEY (92) SWOOPS in to hit a tackling dummy in this Aug. 4 file photo at the KU practice fields. Dorsey broke his foot on Monday and will be sidelined six to eight weeks.

When the Kansas University football team entered preseason camp on Aug. 3, it did so with at least one experienced and proven player at defensive tackle.

Patrick Dorsey, a senior from Houston, started 11 of 12 games last season and proved that, while he did not possess the ideal dimensions — 6-foot, 273 pounds — for a player asked to plug the middle, he more than made up for his lack of size by using his heart and his head to hold his own.

Monday, the Jayhawks announced that Dorsey would miss six to eight weeks with a broken foot, a significant blow to the defensive line and one that could put Dorsey’s season in jeopardy.

Most coaches will say that when

a player goes down, that opens the door for someone behind him to elevate his game and show the team what he can contribute.

The list of Dorsey’s potential replacements is long, but the process of identifying which ones could fill his shoes figures to be ongoing and may even extend into the early portion of the season.

With that in mind, here’s the Journal-World and KUsports.com’s rankings of this team’s top defensive tackles.

Report: Players received gifts from Miami booster ———

Current Missouri men’s basketball coach Frank Haith caught up in allegations from his time with ‘Canes

By Tim Reynolds Associated Press Sports Writer

Nevin Shapiro, a former Miami booster who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme, has told Yahoo! Sports he provided impermissible benefits to 72 of the university’s foot-

ball players and other athletes between 2002 and 2010.

Shapiro said he gave money, cars, yacht trips, jewelry, televisions and other gifts to a list of players including Vince Wilfork, Jon Beason, Antrel Rolle, Devin Hester, Willis McGahee and the late Sean Taylor.

Shapiro also claimed he paid

for nightclub outings, sex parties, restaurant meals and in one case, an abortion for a woman impregnated by a player. One former Miami player, running back Tyrone Moss, told Yahoo!

Sports he accepted $1,000 from Shapiro around the time he was entering college.

New University of Missouri

basketball coach Frank Haith was caught up in the allegations.

Shapiro reportedly admitted to paying $10,000 to guarantee the commitment of basketball recruit DeQuan Jones in 2007.

McCoy’s visit with Favre invaluable BEREA, OHIO (AP) — Colt McCoy picked up his cellphone, dialed Brett Favre’s number and hoped one of his idols might help him out.

The Browns quarterback got Favre’s assistance — and more than he could have dreamed.

“He said, ‘Yeah, come down tonight,” McCoy said recalled Favre saying. “That didn’t happen.”

But before he knew it, McCoy was on a plane flying to Mississippi to meet with Favre, who picked him up at the airport and then spent

several days schooling Cleveland’s young quarterback on the intricacies of the West Coast offense.

“He’s an outstanding guy, and I learned a lot, “ McCoy said, “so I was thankful for him being open to me even coming down there. It’s the first time we had met. It was a lot of fun.”

Because McCoy wasn’t permitted to have any contact during the lockout with first-year Browns coach Pat Shurmur or any of his assistants, he was looking for help

with the West Coast. McCoy was able to get a copy of Shurmur’s playbook during one-day break in the labor strife. But without anyone to explain it to him, McCoy needed help.

The Xs and Os, the arrows, the terminology. It was like a foreign language to McCoy. Enter Favre, who knows the West Coast as well as anyone.

Favre first learned the system in Green Bay under Browns president Mike Holmgren, who

coached the Packers from 1992-98.

McCoy that figured if Favre was available, it would be a waste not to ask the master.

“I was at home and I’ve always liked watching Brett play and some of the stuff (plays) we had from Green Bay was him and it just occurred to me, why not call and see what he’s doing?” McCoy said.

“I had no idea, I just took a shot.

And we ended up getting together and spending a couple of days. It was fun.”

THURSDAY

By Bryan Burwell St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — They have spent the better part of a year and a half fighting off the ropes, challenged from all sides in this ongoing saga of college sports hostile takeovers.

But now the commissioners of the Big 12, Big East and Atlantic Coast conferences — also known as The Buffet Table — are going to try something that until now no one else apparently has considered.

They’re going to act like considerate gentlemen.

On Tuesday, Big East commissioner John Marinatto told The Associated Press that he, Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe and ACC boss John Swofford have actually decided to talk to each other about all the craziness that is sure to happen now that the newest rounds of college conference cannibalism seem to be starting.

Marinatto didn’t say what they have been talking about lately, but we all have a pretty good idea it has something to do with how they plan to react when the Southeastern Conference decides it wants to go on an expansion feeding frenzy much like the Pac-10 and Big Ten did last year.

“I thought it would be important for us to meet face-to-face and take the lead in trying to do things the right way,” Marinatto said.

Well, well, well, it seems that someone out there actually wants to act with some integrity.

How did that happen?

A year ago, when the Big Ten and Pac-10 decided to expand, Beebe’s conference — which includes Missouri — almost was destroyed. And as the wild speculation ensued that the major college landscape was about to turn into three super conferences, it became clear that the Big 12, ACC and Big East weren’t going to be doing the feasting.

They were going to be the buffet line.

And now that the SEC has set its sights on Texas A&M, and might end up looking to go after one or more teams from the ACC or Big East, the commissioners from those leagues are doing the smart thing by getting together to discuss what they all need to do next — because one of the obvious next steps for all them is to fight back and try to expand too.

And I’ll be honest with you. Even as I write about how refreshing it would be to see business conducted in a more honorable fashion, it wouldn’t bother me so much if Beebe stuffed a big napkin under his chin and started scanning the table to see what schools he could lure and what conferences are vulnerable to plunder.

And the one league that seems to be the most vulnerable is Marinatto’s Big East.

There are informed sources familiar with the Big 12 who are certain that it has its eyes on Notre Dame, which is an independent in football but a member of the Big East in basketball.

If A&M departs, as most believe it will, aggressively pursuing a big name such as Notre Dame would be a stroke of genius.

If you want to send a strong message that you will no longer be the weakling on the block, going after Notre Dame is the sort of move that will create that impression emphatically. Is it realistic to think that the Big 12 can lure Notre Dame into a football conference when it has resisted doing so during its entire sports history? I don’t know. But I think it sure is worth trying.

This is the way the Big 12 has to act now. Boldly. Aggressively.

And if it’s not successful in recruiting the Irish, then Louisville or Cincinnati would certainly make sense, as well.

But for the first time in ages, there seems to be an air of sanity blowing across the landscape.

If the commissioners such as Beebe, Swofford and Marinatto can get together and work things out with a little class and dignity — even if they are discussing how to cut up the carcass — why can’t the rest of the powers that be in college athletics follow suit?

Beck’s turn: QB gets start for Redskins on Friday

Time 7 p.m.

ASHBURN, VA. — It’s well known by now that Mike Shanahan typically doesn’t reveal his preseason game plans ahead of time, so the answer was predictable Tuesday when the coach was asked who will start at quarterback in the Washington Redskins’ second preseason game.

“You know me better than that,” he said.

Nevertheless, he kept on going.

“Just so you know,” he added with a smile, “JJohn Beck will start.”

The choice is not a surprise — which is probably why Shanahan was willing to say it — but it does reaffirm that Beck and Rex Grossman remain on equal football in the battle for the starting job, despite the groin injury that kept Beck out of the first game.

Beck slightly strained his groin while stepping up to avoid a defender during a practice on Aug. 7. The injury limited his ability to roll out and bootleg, so he was kept out of 11-on11 team drills last week and sat out the 16-7 victory over Pittsburgh. Grossman got the start and made quite a statement — completing 19 of 26 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown in one half.

Now Beck gets his turn Friday night against the Indianapolis Colts. It could be argued that it is the biggest start of his pro career; it certainly could be as impactful as the four regular season starts he had as a rookie during the mop-up portion of a 1-15 season with the Miami Dolphins in 2007.

“I’m excited to play because I missed an opportunity,” Beck said. “It was tough to go through an injury because I missed practice, and that was frustrating, and not being able to play in the game, that was also frustrating. It’s good to come out and get a week of practice, get back into the flow of things and just be excited about a game.”

BALTIMORE RAVENS CORNERBACK JIMMY SMITH (22) RACES against children from Baltimore’s Goodnow Police Athletic League Center after NFL football training camp on Tuesday in Owings Mills, Md.

NFL Tressel visits Browns camp BEREA, OHIO — His hands clasped behind his back in a familiar pose, Jim Tressel was back on a football sideline.

Just no longer as a coach.

Ousted at scandal-ridden Ohio State and without a team to lead and teach for the first time in 25 years, Tressel visited Cleveland’s training camp, where he intently watched practice, spent time with new Browns coach Pat Shurmur and quarterback Colt McCoy — and even reminisced with former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr.

As he left the Browns’ facility Tuesday, driving a scarlet Mustang convertible with a gray pinstripe that included a few Ohio State block Os, Tressel was asked if he would consider an NFL consulting job.

“Not right now,” he said. “I’m a fan. Always been a Browns fan.”

Tressel’s appearance was a surprise and caused a stir on an otherwise routine morning of camp as the Browns continue installing their new offense and preparing for the upcoming season.

Dressed casually in a golf shirt, shorts and baseball cap, Tressel spent most of the 2-hourplus workout standing near midfield and watched as the Browns went through their drills.

Tressel and Carr stayed about 25 yards apart during practice.

During a break, McCoy ran over and warmly said hello to Tressel, who had a few motivational words for the second-year quarterback.

NFL supplemental draft postponed NEW YORK — The NFL supplemental draft originally scheduled for today has been postponed.

NFL spokesman Michael Signora confirmed Tuesday that the draft will not be held as planned and that teams have been told a new date has not yet been set.

At least five players are known to be eligible for the supplemental draft, including former Georgia running back Caleb King.

Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor gave up his final season with the Buckeyes following an NCAA investigation at OSU. He wants to get into the draft but as of Tuesday afternoon had not yet been declared eligible for it.

Ex-player Corwin Brown charged ANDERSON, IND. — Indiana prosecutors have charged former NFL player Corwin Brown with three felonies after a seven-hour standoff with police last week.

St. Joseph County authorities said Tuesday that Brown had been charged with domestic battery for bruising his wife during the disturbance and two counts of confinement for allegedly holding her hostage with a handgun.

Bond was set at $50,000 for Brown, who is also a former assistant coach at Notre Dame.

The seven-hour standoff in Granger, Ind., ended when Brown shot himself in the torso and was taken to a hospital.

NBA Police want to talk to Bryant SAN DIEGO — A police spokesman says detectives want to interview Kobe Bryant after a man claimed he was injured by the Los Angeles Lakers star during a confrontation at a church.

Police say Bryant apparently thought the man was taking his picture with a cell phone at a Carmel Valley church on Sunday. Bryant reportedly took the phone from the man but saw no pictures on it, then left the church.

According to broadcast reports, the man, whose identity hasn’t been released, went to a hospital for treatment of a wrist injury.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Video shows Cliff Harris’ traffic stop

Tom Keegan, Sports Editor tkeegan@ljworld.com

Andrew Hartsock, Associate Sports Editor ahartsock@ljworld.com

PORTLAND, ORE. — Video taken by a police dashboard camera shows Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas was a passenger in the car when cornerback Cliff Harris was cited for driving 118 mph in June.

Also in the video, obtained by KATU television in Portland, officer Ray Stallsworth asks Harris if there is marijuana in the car, and someone is heard responding what sounds like, “we smoked it all,” which the officer repeats.

But Harris denies there are any drugs in the car and later indicates it was another passenger — not Thomas — who was smoking the marijuana.

Harris passed a field sobriety test and ultimately was cited for driving with a suspended license in a car rented by a university employee. No one else was cited in the traffic stop.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly suspended Harris indefinitely following the incident. Harris will not play in the Ducks’ season opener on Sept.

DT Williams figures to have an increased role

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Oftentimes, Kansas defensive tackle John Williams’ job is to line up right across from KU center Jeremiah Hatch in practice.

The rough play has sometimes ended in altercations.

“Emotions get flaring,” Williams said with a grin on Tuesday. “We might try to throw a little quick punch, but nothing too bad. It’s just the sport and the nature of football. It’s intense.”

Though Williams says he’s

friends with Hatch, the two aren’t afraid to go at each other.

“That’s when the emotions and stuff come into play,” Williams said. “I’m like, ‘Hatch, get off me.’

He’s trying to throw me down, tryWilliams ing to get pancakes and whatnot, but I don’t let it happen.

“So it’s good stuff. There’s a

lot of emotion that goes in, but it’s all fair play.”

KU will be relying on Williams to stand his ground this season, as he projects as the Jayhawks’ likely starter at defensive tackle following the announcement of senior Pat Dorsey’s broken foot on Monday night. Dorsey is expected to miss six to eight weeks.

As a defensive tackle in KU’s new 3-4 scheme, many times Williams’ role is to occupy two offensive linemen so that his teammates can fill in gaps and make tackles.

“It’s good because I’m a big

guy up in there,” Williams said. “They’ve got two bodies on me, and they can’t really move me.”

The junior, though listed at 305 pounds, has been fluctuating between 295 and 300 pounds. That still makes him KU’s heaviest defensive lineman.

“It is important to have some size in there,” Williams said, “because we’re not just trying to get dominated in the run game, driven back.”

The 6-foot-3 Williams came to KU as an O-lineman before getting switched over

Matt Tait’s KU football notebook QBs Dorsey injury hits hard Dorsey as a thing of the past Monday, Kansas University football coach Turner Gill announced that senior defensive tackle Patrick Dorsey would miss six to eight weeks because of a broken foot.

Tuesday, Gill and the Jayhawks talked about what the Dorsey loss of Dorsey would mean to the team.

“D-Line, that’s where our defense starts,” sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon said. “And he’s one of our strongest players. Having him go down is gonna hurt us, but that’s why we have those other guys in there competing. That’s why coach Gill brought all those recruits in. I’m not afraid of what’s gonna happen when that back-up comes in because I know he’s been competing, he’s been working and he’s gonna play just as hard as Pat. I have 100 percent trust in those guys.”

Gill said the biggest thing the defense would miss with Dorsey sidelined was his game experience. “(He knows) how to get off blocks and understands what offensive linemen are trying to do,” Gill said. “We’re gonna miss him, but we’ll figure it all out. I think that kind of triggered us moving Randall Dent back to the defensive line, just to shore up the defensive tackle spot. But, right now, we feel good where we’re at there.

Pretty soon, we’ll get back (red-shirt freshman Pat) Lewandowski. Right now, he’s still at defensive end, but he could be a guy who could move down to defensive tackle.”

While Dorsey’s absence provides an opportunity for others to step up, at least one member of the defensive line said he wasn’t ready to refer to

“There’s a great competition going on there,” Gill said.

“Carnes has really stepped up and done some quality things.

evaluation has taken place during a pair of scrimmages, the most recent of which came last Saturday night.

“Both guys have really done well in the scrimmages,” Gill said. “And it’s kind of good for me because we continue to have competition. That always puts a smile on my face.”

Another QB who has emerged recently is true freshman Michael Cummings, of Killeen, Texas.

While Gill seemed to indicate that Cummings remained behind Webb and Mecham in the race to become the starter, he also said he had been impressed with how good Cummings had looked in limited time.

“He’s done some good things, and I think every day he’s gotten better,” Gill said.

“That’s all you can ask for from a freshman. I think every single day (we’ve been) impressed with what he’s able to do. He has some running skills. He’s shown some good throwing ability. And I’m very pleased with what he’s shown.

to defense during his red-shirt freshman season in 2009.

“I’m loving defense, the mentality you’ve got to have,” Williams said. “I feel like it’s a lot more fun. It suits me now.”

KU defensive coordinator Vic Shealy has seen growth from Williams in the last few months.

“He was a guy, you’d ask him, ‘Do you like football?’ and he’d say, ‘Yeah, coach, I like football,’” Shealy said. “ B u t i n t h e s p r i n g yo u would see him have more of a serious mentality on the field.

“You talk to him he locks into you, really wanting to be coached, really wanting to be a good player.”

Though nose tackle in a 34 doesn’t always rack up a ton of stats, Williams said he still has set a goal of a few sacks and tackles-for-loss this season.

“More importantly, I just want to help the team go to a bowl game, because it’s about time,” Williams said. “We need it.”

He’s got tremendous upside and we’ll see how it all fits as we continue to evaluate our guys.”

Gill wasn’t the only one lauding Cummings, a 6-foot, 196-pound dual-threat QB who missed the second half of his senior season of high school because of a knee injury.

“Great,” said Long, when asked how Cummings had progressed. “He had a nice 50yard run in the scrimmage, and he was live. We wanted to see him live and in some Wildcat stuff, and he’s impressed so far. We’ll see how that all shakes out by the end of camp.”

Added junior wide receiver and former QB Kale Pick: “The big thing that’s really impressed me with Michael is his arm strength. He can wing it all over the field, and he can make every throw.”

The thing that seems to separate Webb and Mecham from Cummings is the fact that the two older guys have actual game experience.

“Having both of them with starting experience really helps,” Long said. “That has really shown up this fall at training camp. But it’s been a very competitive battle. Jor-

dan’s really done well and probably has an edge at this point in time, but we feel very solid about our two guys.”

As for Cummings’ injury, for which he had surgery last December, that’s a non-issue.

“I wouldn’t say anything is wrong with him,” Gill said.

“He’s not injured, he’s not favoring the leg at all. That’s really not even a discussion anymore. He’s 100 percent healthy and ready to go.”

Pick thought back to his experience in last year’s quarterback battle and said he imagined Webb and Mecham were ready to find out who had won the job.

“I definitely remember the feeling,” Pick said. “I remember I wanted to know right away. I’m sure Jordan and Quinn do, too.”

As for any longing for his old position or the infamous red jersey that QBs don during practice, Pick said he hadn’t thought about it in a while.

“I don’t look over there as much anymore,” he said. “I’m pretty much focused on what I’m doing at receiver. But every now and then I’ll see Jordan or Quinn walk by me and I’ll tell ’em, ‘Keep it going, keep the hard work up,’ and I’ll try to keep them motivated.”

2. Kevin Young: He’s in better shape and has a high ceiling.

3. Pat Dorsey: Smart, driven, small for the position.

4. Richard Johnson: Lack of explosiveness, surplus of experience.

5. Randall Dent: If he doesn’t play it won’t be for lack of opportunity.

4. Kevin Young: Will this be his year to break out? He will play both tackle and end in the 3-4 scheme.

5. Shane Smith: Scout team player last year; he’s one of the few left on the roster with a full year of practices at defensive tackle.

Red Sox, Rays split twinbill The Associated Press

Red Sox 3-2, Rays 1-6 BOSTON — Rookie Desmond Jennings hit his fifth home run of the season, and Jeff Niemann struck out 10 as Tampa Bay salvaged a split of a doubleheader with a second game victory over Boston Tuesday.

The Red Sox opened the day with a win, but couldn’t overcome two unearned runs in the second inning of the nightcap. Boston also couldn’t capitalize on its first triple play since 1994.

Niemann (8-4) pitched his first complete game of the season and won his seventh straight decision. Tampa Bay won for the sixth time in eight games.

Jacoby Ellsbury hit a threerun homer, and Jon Lester struck out eight in the win by the Red Sox in the opener.

Lester (12-6) outdueled fellow All-Star James Shields, who pitched nearly as well and deeper into the game but received little offensive support.

Former KU guard Alvamar Collins to play qualifier pro ball in Turkey wraps up ——

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Basketball notes. ...

Former Kansas University point guard Sherron Collins will play professional basketball for Turkish League team Hacettepe Universitesi during the 2011-12 sea- Collins son, Eurobasket.com reported this week.

The 5-foot-11 Chicago native reportedly reached an agreement on a one-year deal.

Collins, 24, who was not selected in the 2010 NBA Draft, opened last season with the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats.

He also played for the NBADL’s Maine Red Claws, Lithuanian pro team Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius and Puerto Rican team Quebradillas Pirates. He reportedly was cut by the Puerto Rican team after reporting out of shape. ●

Tarczewski waiting for now: Kaleb Tarczewski, a 7-foot senior from St. Mark’s High in Southborough, Mass., is expected to announce for KU, Arizona or North Carolina by the start of school on Sept. 9.

He’s Rivals.com’s No. 12-rated player nationally.

“I really don’t think anything’s changed from earlier this summer,” New England Playaz AAU coach John Carroll told the Arizona Daily Star. “His plan was to play in July, go to Adidas Nations, then go home, decompress, and enjoy being a kid. Then start thinking about his decision in the later part of August.” ●

Muhammad to visit: The country’s No. 1 prospect, Shabazz Muhammad, on Tuesday told jayhawkslant.com he “will visit Kansas” at some point this school year.

Muhammad, a 6-6 senior wing from Las Vegas’ Bishop Gorman High, is considering KU, Arizona, Kentucky, Duke, UCLA, UNLV and Texas.

14 golfers from two courses advance to Thursday’s Nationwide tourney in Overland Park J-W Staff Reports

Over two rain-soaked days at Alvamar Golf and Country Club, a field of more than 200 of the region’s best golfers was trimmed to 14 qualifiers for this weeks Nationwide Tour stop at LionsGate in Overland Park.

The low seven scores from each course qualif ied for Thursday’s event.

Monday’s five-hour rain delay forced some players to conclude their rounds Tuesday, and former Kansas University golfer and Lawrence resident Chris Thompson’s 65 remained the best round of the qualifier.

Thompson managed to Thompson f inish his round on the public course before rain halted play Monday.

Thompson shot 30 on the front nine and 35 on the back nine.

The low seven scores from each course qualif ied for Thursday’s Nationwide event.

Qualifying from Alvamar Golf Course were Thompson, Robert Streb (68), Brice Garnett (68), Derek Tolan (68), Kiel Ryan (68), David Robinson (69) and Pablo Acuna (69). Robinson and Acuna survived a three-man playoff Tuesday.

president Donna Shalala receiving a $50,000 donation from Shapiro in 2008, money that Shapiro says was part of the $930 million Ponzi Scheme that resulted in his prison term.

Haith issued a statement on the matter Tuesday night: “In response to a recent news article, I can confirm that the NCAA has asked to speak with me regarding the time I spent at the University of Miami. I am more than happy to cooperate with the national office on this issue and look forward to a quick resolution.

The NCAA has instructed me not to comment further at this time in order to protect the integrity of their review, so I appreciate your understanding in this matter. The reports questioning my personal interactions with Mr. Shapiro are not an accurate portrayal of my character and per the above I am unable to comment further.”

A University of Missouri statement read: “We are aware of today's Yahoo!

Sports story and the University of Missouri acknowledges that the NCAA has requested to speak with coach Haith regarding his time at the University of Miami. As a member of the NCAA and the Big 12 Conference, the University of Missouri will cooperate fully throughout this process.

Per the NCAA's request and guiding bylaws, we are unable to comment further in order to protect the integrity of their review.”

Shapiro outlined his violations in the Yahoo story.

“Hell yeah, I recruited a lot of kids for Miami,” Shapiro told Yahoo! Sports. “With access to the clubs, access to the strip joints. My house. My boat. We’re talking about high school football players. Not anybody can just get into the

KU baseball freshman named MVP of tourney

“

— Nevin Shapiro, a former Miami booster serving 20 years in prison for masterminding a $930 million Ponzi scheme clubs or strip joints. Who is going to pay for it and make it happen? That was me.”

Shapiro has said multiple times in the past year, including in the Yahoo! Sports story posted Tuesday, that he is angry with several of the players he claims to have helped when they were Hurricanes.

Miami officials began cooperating with NCAA investigators not long after Shapiro made claims about his involvement with players last year. University president Donna Shalala and athletic director Shawn Eichorst were questioned by the NCAA this week. The school reiterated Tuesday it takes the allegations seriously.

“I can tell you what I think is going to happen,” Shapiro told Miami television station WFOR from federal prison in Atlanta. “Death penalty.”

Yahoo! Sports says it spent 100 hours interviewing Shapiro over the span of 11 months and audited thousands of financial pages and business records to try and substantiate his claims.

The allegations against Miami have sparked what is just the latest in a string of NCAA investigations involving some of college football’s most high-profile and successful programs. In the last 18 months, the football teams at Southern California, Ohio State, Auburn, Oregon, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and LSU all have either been investigated or sanctioned by the NCAA. The litany of scandals has led to calls for major reforms in the way the NCAA regulates and polices big-time college athletics. Commissioners of the major conferences, including Mike Slive from the Southeastern Conference and

Jim Delany from the Big Ten, have called for major changes and increased penalties for rule-breakers. Last week, NCAA President Mark Emmert led a group of university presidents in laying out an outline for changes, including raising academic standards, streamlining the rulebook and changing the parameters of athletic scholarships.

Shapiro was sentenced in June after he admitted to securities fraud and money laundering. He was also ordered to pay more than $82 million in restitution to his victims.

Many current Miami players were also named by Shapiro as receiving benefits, Yahoo! Sports reported, including quarterback Jacory Harris, Ray Ray Armstrong, Travis Benjamin, Sean Spence, Marcus Forston, Vaughn Telemaque, Dyron Dye, Aldarius Johnson and Olivier Vernon. Former Miami quarterback Robert Marve, now at Purdue, was also named by Shapiro, Yahoo! Sports said.

The story cited specifics involving only Armstrong, Dye and Vernon, alleging they received extra benefits as recruits. Shapiro said he worked in concert with several former Miami assistant coaches during the recruiting process.

“It was me and some other players with my incoming (class). I’m not going to say the names, but you can probably figure them out yourself,” Moss told Yahoo! Sports.

“When I was getting there my freshman year, it was me and a couple more players. It was me and a few more of the guys in my incoming class that he kind of showed some love to.”

YANKEES 9, ROYALS 7

New York outslugs K.C. K A N S A S C I T Y , M O . ( AP ) — Danny Duffy had thrown Robinson Cano nearly everything in his arsenal in the fourth inning.

After watching him foul off seven pitches, Duffy threw a seldom-used slider, and it was a big mistake.

Cano sent the pitch screaming into the Kauffman Stadium fountains in right field for a three-run homer, and it helped lift the New York Yankees to a 9-7 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.

“He’s a great hitter,” Duffy said. “What can I say? I left a slider up. I don’t throw too many sliders. I left one up. If it was down, I probably would have got a ground ball. He wasted a lot of good pitches.

He battled and battled. I threw him a cookie, and he salivated as that ball was coming in. He got it.”

Cano, who drove in four runs, has 21 home runs and 85 RBIs this season.

“That was a great at-bat ROYALS Cano put on Duffy,” Roy- VS. als manager YANKEES Ned Yost said. “He When: 7:10 tonight ended up getting a Where: Kansas breaking ball City, Mo. out over the Pitchers: Chen (7plate that he 5) vs. Colon (8-6) hit a long TV: FSKC (36, 236) way. He’s a pretty special player.”

The Royals’ offense had been struggling lately, but broke out with nine hits, including five for extra bases.

“It’s tough to win a slugfest,” Yost said. “You never want to score seven runs and lose. You score seven runs, you should be able to win a ball game. We still have to refine our starting pitching.”

Duffy was tagged in the leg by a hard grounder off the bat of Eduardo Nunez, and Yost believes the impact on his calf affected him. Yost said “his stuff was still good, but his command was all over the place.” Duffy’s leg was wrapped after the game.

who was hired in December, acknowledged Tuesday that some of his players may have made mistakes.

“We’ll stay focused. I’m certain of that,” Golden said.

“We’re disappointed but we’re not discouraged. And again, there’s going to be a life lesson here. We’re talking about allegations from a man that’s behind bars, now. If these do hold some truth, then we’ll deal with them. There’s no other way to do it.”

Current Miami players were not made available to comment Tuesday, and will not be made available before Wednesday’s practice, the university said.

Yahoo! Sports also said Shapiro paid Wilfork $50,000 as a recruiting tool to sign with sports agency Axcess Sports & Entertainment, a firm Shapiro claimed he coowned for much of the time he was involved with the Hurricanes. Yahoo! Sports reported that players got cash and benefits through Shapiro’s partner, former NFL agent and current UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue.

Reached Tuesday by The Associated Press, Huyghue denied that story.

“It’s just fantasy,” Huyghue said. “He never had any role in my company.”

Huyghue said he signed three Miami players in seven years. He said Shapiro was not a runner and he did not represent any players, but did invest $1 . 5 million in his agency in 2001 and that the two spoke only occasionally.

“He didn’t have the acumen to represent players,” Huyghue said.

Meanwhile, at least one player named by Shapiro said he did try to steer them toward agents.

“I know of (Shapiro),” said Hester, now with the Chicago Bears. “At the time I was going into the draft, he was like a runner for an agent. I had declared into the draft. He was one of the runners for one agent.”

KANSAS CITY MANAGER NED YOST ARGUES with home plate umpire Kerwin Danley after he was ejected in the fourth inning.

The Royals fell to the Yankees, 97, Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo. “It was on the meat.” Duffy said, refusing to use it as an excuse for his poor performance. “It didn’t get me on the bone. It tightened up, but it didn’t tighten in the game.”

Russell Martin and Derek Jeter each drove in a pair to help give Ivan Nova his eighth consecutive victory.

Nova (12-4) struggled almost as much as Duffy (3-7), allowing five runs and seven hits through three innings.

But he settled down to retire the side in order the next two frames, and survived long enough to move past Alfredo Aceves for the longest winning streak by a Yankees rookie since 1980.

The right-hander also tied Orlando Hernandez and Andy Pettitte for the most wins by a Yankees rookie in the past three decades. Nova hasn’t lost since a 3-2 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels on June 3.

Boone Logan, Rafael Soriano and David Robertson shepherded the game to Mariano Rivera, who pitched another perfect ninth for his 32nd save. It was also his 27th in a row against Kansas City dating to May 2, 1999.

“A win is a win,” Nova said, “no matter the way you get it.”

Billy Butler hit a two-out single in the first, Eric Hosmer followed with an RBI double and Francoeur gave the Royals a 2-0 lead with a single. But New York pulled ahead in the third when Duffy’s command failed him.

He plunked Curtis Granderson with one out, walked Mark Teixeira, allowed an RBI single to Cano and walked Nick Swisher to load the bases. Yost came out to the mound, but the brief visit didn’t seem to do much good. Martin’s two-run double moments later gave New York the lead.

Kansas City answered the three-spot with three runs of its own in the bottom of the inning. Alcides Escobar started the rally with a triple to left, and Alex Gordon’s chopper to third base brought him home. Cabrera followed with his 16th homer, and Butler singled and Francoeur doubled to give the Royals a 5-3 lead.

Then came the Yankees’ eventful fourth inning, which included: a leadoff bunt single

by Brett Gardner; an RBI double by Jeter; back-to-back singles by Granderson and Teixeira; Yost getting tossed for arguing balls and strikes, his third ejection of the year; and Cano’s homer, estimated at 421 feet.

The Royals finally knocked Nova out of the game when Salvador Perez’s two-run double in the sixth pulled them to 8-7, but New York added to its cushion with its final run in the seventh.

Nova was ultimately charged with seven runs on 2 nine hits in 5 ⁄3 innings.

Sooners add Michigan linebacker for depth

REALIGNMENT

Big East commish contacts Beebe

By Jeff Latzke AP College Football Writer

By Ralph D. Russo Associated Press Sports Writer

Big East Commissioner John Marinatto says he has been in constant contact with Dan Beebe of the Big 12 and John Swofford of the Atlantic Coast Conference in recent days and has suggested the three meet to discuss conference realignment.

Marinatto didn’t reveal details about his conversations with his fellow commissioners but said Tuesday: “I thought it would be important for us to meet face-to-face and take the lead in trying to do things the right way.”

Marinatto also has spoken with NCAA president Mark Emmert, but he said Emmert was not planning to hold any meetings with conference commissioners to discuss conference realignment.

In a statement to the AP, Swofford said he is open to Emmert’s “involvement in helping us find a process that better serves the greater good of college athletics.”

“As it relates to conference realignment, if we can find a more structured way to do business with each other, we need to try to find it,” Swofford said. “In my opinion, further exploration would be healthy and beneficial for our profession.”

The NCAA president doesn’t have the power to stop schools from changing conferences and Marinatto pointed out that Emmert’s involvement would likely be limited by potential legal issues such as restriction of trade and antitrust laws.

Beebe’s conference, which nearly was wiped out last year when the Pac-10 expanded, is in danger of losing Texas A&M to the Southeastern Conference.

If the Aggies end up in the SEC, the league likely would need to add at least one more member.

There has been rampant speculation the SEC, which has 12 members, could target another school from the Big 12, or from the ACC and Big East for further expansion.

“We can and must be mindful of everyone’s best interests and be constructive and not destructive,” Marinatto said. “But we all realize we are competitive and we have different constituencies to serve.”

KANSAS STATE QUARTERBACK COLLIN KLEIN (7) AVOIDS defensive end Brandon Harold during the first half of K-State’s spring game on April 30 in Manhattan. Klein, a junior, is expected to start at quarterback for the Wildcats this fall.

Junior Klein leading race to be KSU’s starting quarterback

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

MA N H A T T A N — It’s usually worth taking notice whenever Bill Snyder decides to single out a player the first week of fall camp. After all, the longtime Kansas State coach rarely doles out public praise.

Welcome to the spotlight, Collin Klein.

The junior quarterback played sparingly for the Wildcats last season, mostly as an option alternative to senior Carson Coffman. The former wide receiver with the long stride and plenty of athleticism ran for 424 yards and six touchdowns, but he comes into this season having thrown just 19 passes in his college career.

While that might normally cause a coach anxiety, Snyder is genuinely at ease with his likely starter.

Some of it has to do with the way Klein lit up the Kansas State defense during the spring game, when he was allowed to call many of his own plays and decided to air it out — he finished 25-of-37 for 358 yards and five touchdowns. The rest of it has to do with Klein’s maturity and personal growth.

“You’ve heard me say for 20some odd years, if you were to define Kansas State football or

I don’t think that a day has gone by since he’s been in this program he hasn’t found a way to get better.”

That’s about as good as it gets from Snyder.

There were legitimate concerns about the quarterback spot at the conclusion of last season. Coffman was never flashy, but he still managed to throw for 2,060 yards and 14 touchdowns with only seven interceptions, and his ability to minimize mistakes while orchestrating Snyder’s often complex offense was a significant reason the Wildcats were able to reach their first bowl game since 2006.

Klein was 11-of-18 for 138 yards last season, despite playing 10 games, and thirdstringer Sammuel Lamur tried just three passes, fewer than half of what departed running back Daniel Thomas attempted.

So while Snyder was quick to anoint Klein the future starter, it was assumed that the race would be tight through camp.

Turns out, it is Klein’s job to lose before the Sept. 3 opener against Eastern Kentucky.

“Coach Snyder, from the top to the bottom, every position across the board is going to be competitive. It’s that way on purpose,” Klein said during the team’s annual media day.

“Everybody gets an opportunity to make plays. When you get that opportunity, you’d better make the most of it.”

Kansas State brought in extra competition when it recruited junior college standout Justin Tuggle, who arrived on campus in time for spring football. The son of former NFL linebacker Jessie Tuggle started three times for Boston College as a redshirt freshman in 2009 and threw for 229 yards and four touchdowns.

In fact, he’s thrown more passes as a Div. I quarterback than Klein and Lamur combined.

He transferred to Blinn College last season, the same school that sent Cam Newton to Auburn. There, Tuggle drew comparisons to the Heisman Trophy winner with his running ability, footwork and leadership. He threw for 2,015 yards and 17 TDs, while rushing for 733 yards and 12 more scores.

While he fits more into the mold of former Kansas State stars Michael Bishop and Ell Roberson than anybody else on the roster, Tuggle is still trying to climb from No. 3 on the depth chart. Quarterbacks coach Del Miller was emphatic that Klein is the expected starter, with Lamur first off the bench.

Either way, the easygoing Klein isn’t too worried about his place in the pecking order.

“My job is just to make sure I get better, to the best of my ability, in every aspect of the game and the position,” Klein said, sounding very much like his veteran head coach.

“A day doesn’t go by he doesn’t enhance his understanding of the totality of our offense, the complexities of it, and he does it from a global standpoint as opposed to just the position that he plays,” Snyder said. “He continues to work hard, and I think he’s continued to improve.”

Pickens Oklahoma’s Johnson turns from QB to lineman 2011 SCHEDULE to A&M: Stay put

By Jeff Latzke Associated Press Football Writer

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma State megabooster T. Boone Pickens believes the Big 12 will survive the latest conference realignment threat and suggests that Texas A&M stay put instead of joining the Southeastern Conference.

“That’s a big mistake for Texas A&M,” Pickens said Tuesday night before being inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame.

“They’re moving out of Texas when they do that. I don’t think that’s a smart deal.”

Texas A&M regents met Monday to authorize the school president to move the program into another conference, but the SEC has said it is sticking with its current 12 members — for now.

Pickens attended Texas A&M for one year before transferring to Oklahoma State, where he has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the program, including the primary gift to renovate the football stadium that now bears his name.

NORMAN, OKLA. — Lane Johnson never expected his football career to go like this.

The lanky Texan who doubled as a quarterback and free safety in high school is now all bulked up and pushing for a starting spot on Oklahoma’s offensive line. And that’s just the latest switch.

Johnson joined the Sooners out of junior college expecting to make the switch from signal-caller to tight end.

When that didn’t work out, he gave defensive end a try. Then he was asked to make the change to left tackle.

This time, it seems as though he’s finally found a home.

“Learning the position, it takes time, but everything’s worked out perfectly so far,” Johnson said.

Assistant coach Bruce Kittle considers Johnson among his top three tackles, along with Donald Stephenson and freshman Daryl Williams. Jarvis Jones, whose spring knee injury prompted Johnson’s latest move, is expected to miss the first month of the season.

“Lane’s progressed really well and done everything we’ve asked,” said Kittle, who’s in charge of tackles and tight ends. “He just hasn’t had a lot of reps at that position ... so every day he’s getting bet-

ter. Aiming points, footwork, blocking out, his pass (protection’s) improving.

“I feel like he’s right on pace for where he should be to help us.”

Johnson initially resisted a tryout at a third different position in a two-year span. After switching to defensive end midway through last season, he got onto the field a few times late last year without recording any statistics.

But with two weeks left in spring practice, the junior realized he was a third-string defensive end and might be able to make an impact back on offense.

“It’s been a crazy process,” Johnson said. “I would have never thought I was playing tackle in college. I’ve always thought of playing a skill position.”

Johnson said he was about Groveton in high school. His his current height — 6-foot-6 coach, Keith Thomas, played — while in high school but he for the Sooners in the 1970s weighed only 205 to 210 and finally helped him make a pounds at that time.

NORMAN, OKLA. — Freshman linebacker Kellen Jones has transferred from Michigan to Oklahoma.

Sooners coach Bob Stoops announced Tuesday that Jones would be eligible to play for the Sooners this year. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be able to crack the rotation right away.

“If history is indicative, I think he’s got his work cut out for him,” said defensive coordinator Brent Venables, who coaches the linebackers. “It’s what he’s willing to put into it because he hasn’t been here and hasn’t learned. Being in shape mentally and physically and emotionally, everything has happened pretty fast.

“If he can, that’s a bonus.

That’d be a big-time positive.”

Oklahoma f inds itself shorthanded at linebacker.

Middle linebacker Austin Box died of a drug overdose during the offseason and Travis Lewis, the top tackler the past three seasons, will miss the first month of the season with a broken toe.

So maybe Jones can help.

“He’s got a lot to learn but honestly in the meeting rooms he’s been impressive,” middle linebacker Tom Wort said. “He’s been studying his playbook, and he knows his stuff. Right now, he didn’t get the summer conditioning that we had, so right now he’s working on that and just trying to get in shape and kind of just learn it all.

“He’s a young guy, he can step up, but we’ve got to get him in full pads first.”

Jones signed with the Wolverines in February out of St. Pius X High School in Houston but decided to leave the program before the season arrived. He has been in partial pads during practice the last couple days.

He is listed at 6-foot-1 and 223 pounds and Venables described him as “very physical, very sudden and explosive.”

“Kellen is one fiery dude,” Wort said. “I’m talking he don’t even have pads on and he was out there talking smack.”

C-USA, ESPN settle lawsuit NEW YORK (AP ) — Conference USA’s football championship games will now air on ESPN, not Fox, after the league and network settled litigation.

ESPN sued the conference in March, accusing it of violating their contract when it signed a new deal with Fox. Conference USA had announced in January that it had reached a five-year contract with Fox’s networks to broadcast its football championship game and other sports events.

The two sides announced Tuesday that ESPN would televise the title game from 2011-15.

The rest of the deal with Fox remains intact. Fox Sports Networks will air at least 20 regular-season football games and 10 regular-season men’s basketball games each year.

After Conference USA was sued, Fox worked with the league to find a solution that was beneficial for all sides.

“We applaud Conference USA and ESPN for resolving their differences,” Fox spokesman Dan Bell said.

This year’s conference title game is Dec. 3 on ESPN2.

Balsamic marinade key to super steak

By Susan M. Selasky For The Associated Press

Red meat has made limited appearances on the menu in my household lately. But once in a while I get a craving for a good steak with a nice sauce, served with some tasty potatoes. Of course, the steak should be grilled.

A steak recipe from several years ago recently came to mind, one that had a tasty marinade and a chopped olive topping. Marinades are a great way to add flavor and help tenderize meats.

Marinades are usually made up of an acidic ingredient (wines, vinegars and citrus juices); an oil (just about any kind will do, you don’t need a pricey olive oil), and any kind of seasoning. You also can use liquids such as beer and soy sauce, (I always use the reduced-sodium soy sauce.) Try not to use too much oil because it will cause flare-ups.

You can marinate steaks for as little as one hour and up to 12 hours depending on the steak’s size and cut. Marinades do not penetrate all the way through the steak, mainly the surface. You can place steaks in a marinade and freeze them, too.

I marinate steaks in plastic sealable bags because the meat is completely covered.

The bag also takes up less room in the refrigerator.

Don’t marinate strip steaks too long because the acidic ingredients start to break down fibers and the meat will become mushy. Larger and tougher cuts of meat, such as briskets, roasts and skirt steak, need longer marinating time so they become tender.

When you’re ready to grill, remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Never reuse marinade that’s been used on raw meat, unless you boil it for at least 3 to 5 minutes.

Let the excess marinade drip off and grill the steak as desired. It’s best to start the steak on medium-high to high heat so you can get a nice, crusty sear. Once seared, turn it over and move it to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking.

A key to keeping a steak juicy is to not cut into it right away. Give it a good five minutes to rest. This allows the juices to seep back and settle into the steak.

The balsamic vinegar in the marinade makes this recipe super. The steaks get a nice salty finish topped with the olive sauce and optional feta cheese.

side of the strip steaks so they don’t curl when grilling.

Place the steaks in a plastic bag. In a small bowl whisk together all of the marinade ingredients. Pour half of the marinade over the steaks in the bag. Seal the bag and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate the other half of the marinade.

Preheat the grill to medium-high.

Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade. Let steaks sit at room temperature while you make the topping.

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add the garlic and saute 1 minute. Add the onions and saute until soft. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, olives and feta and saute 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

a stuffed baked potato or soup) Last night’s rice and black beans plus some scrambled eggs wrapped in a whole-grain tortilla Hard boiled eggs prepared the night before with a side of fresh fruit Your favorite sandwich (e.g. grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, turkey or chicken) Pancakes with one or more of these added: chopped fruit (strawberries, blueberries, peaches, bananas, apples), nuts or cubes of cooked meat, such as ham Grits in which low-fat cheese has been melted Whole grain crackers with low-fat cheese and orange wedges Low-fat cottage cheese with fruit Leftover rice, low-fat yogurt, dried fruit, nuts and cinnamon combined together Q: What should I look for

in selecting a ready-to-eat cereal?

A: Read the Nutrition Facts label, and choose a nutrient-dense cereal. Select a ready-to-eat cereal that contains more nutrients (e.g. carbohydrate, protein, vitamins and minerals) per serving among brands. Avoid the low density “candy cereals” and reach for one with little or no added sugar. Adding your own sugar allows you to control the amount.

Look for lots of fiber and only a few ingredients.

Cereal should be made with whole grains and contain five or more grams of fiber per serving. To add more fiber, top your cereal with fruit or a handful of nuts.

the “corno di toro,” or bull’s horn family.

“That’s kind of what they look like,” he says. “They have broader shoulders versus an Anaheim, which are more of a slender type.”

Despite growing them for so long, even Lumpe has to be very careful not to confuse them. He says he picks, washes, bags and boxes the fryers separately from the Anaheims he grows.

O’Connor recommends that for those wanting fryers and who worry about ending up with something too hot should take care to talk with a farmer if possible and know exactly what you’re buying. She suggests starting at a farmers’ market.

If you do end up with a mystery pepper, O’Connor recommends placing it on a plate and cutting off the tip. Hold that small piece to your tongue to test for hotness. You should know right away whether you have a hot pepper or a milder frying pepper. The reason to use a plate and not a cutting board is because a cutting board can absorb the juices and if the pepper is hot, it will affect the flavor of other

ABOUT FRYING PEPPERS What they are: Frying peppers are sweet peppers with thin walls that sometimes look like hot peppers or like smaller versions of bell peppers. They are generally cone-shaped, Italian in origin and are both sweet and mildly spicy. They are sold green or red and are best with fried, sautéed or used in homemade Italian red sauce.

Season: Available fresh locally July through September.

Nutrition: 1 cup sliced pepper has about 29 calories, 2 grams of fiber, no fat, 58 percent of your daily vitamin A and 196 percent of your vitamin C, according to NutritionData.com.

How to pick and store: Pick peppers that are firm and smooth with green stems.

Avoid those that are soft, spotted or wrinkled in appearance.

Don’t wash them until you’re ready to use your peppers.

They will keep a few days in the fridge.

— Sarah Henning items. She says if you use the plate method, this won’t be a problem because it will be isolated and the plate isn’t porous like the cutting board. If the pepper is hot, just cut it as preferred on the plate and then slip it the

More consumers turning to use of co-ops

By Lisa Rathke Associated Press

Cooperatitve grocery stores have been on a boomthen-bust cycle since they first emerged after the Great Depression.

And the cycle at the moment is back to boom. As more Americans look for more ways to control their spending — as well as where their food comes from — small grocers that are owned by their “member” shoppers and focus on local and natural foods are back in vogue.

Around the country roughly 300 cooperatives already run 330 stores, with at least another 250 under development, everywhere from New Orleans to Fairbanks, Alaska, according to Stuart Reid, executive director of Food Coop Initiative, a nonprofit that provides resources and support for organizing groups.

During the past two to three years alone, 10 to 12 new stores have opened each year, according to Cooperative Grocer magazine, which keeps an online directory of food co-ops.

“The economy is certainly part of the reason, but another part of the reason is Americans are looking for ways to own and control the means of providing the services they want,” says Andrea Cumpston, a spokeswoman for the National Cooperative Business Association. “For example, in the food co-op industry they’re looking to be able to own the store that provides them with their local foods and to know and trust where those foods are coming from.”

That’s what keeps Nickie Dymon, 47, shopping for her family at City Market Onion River Co-op in Burlington, Vt. She also appreciates that she can save money — and lessen her ecological footprint — by buying in bulk, and filling her own recycled

can chicken holder, which made things easier, but you can just go old school and plop the bird on the can. We used a Bud Light Lime, because why wouldn’t that hint of lime be good? We drank about 1/3 of the beer, removed the top of the can, added 2 tablespoons of the spice rub and a whole fresh jalapeño. Also, we popped a smallish Yukon gold potato in the neck to keep the heat inside the bird.

Once the chicken and coals and beer are ready, just plop that sucker on the grill, put on the lid and cook for about an hour and a half, or until the chicken is 350 degrees internal temp.

SHOPPERS visit the City Market Onion River Co-op in Burlington, Vt. With growing concerns about food safety and desires to support local farms, more Americans are turning to food cooperatives — owned and controlled by members to provide affordable, healthy food — to do their weekly shopping. bottles and bags with coffee, laundry detergent, cooking oils, soy sauce and maple syrup.

“I buy all my fruits and vegetables here and a lot of my groceries here,” she said recently while shopping in the produce section, which this time of year offers locally grown fingerling potatoes, blueberries, green and yellow string beans, tomatoes, baby spinach, lettuce and radishes.

The first food co-ops grew out of the Great Depression, but most did not survive, says Reid. The next wave came during the 1970s, fueled largely by interest in natural foods otherwise unavailable at mainstream grocers.

But Reid says many of those failed, too, in part because they lacked sophisticated business operations.

Those co-ops that did survive from the ‘70s and ‘80s have continued to evolve to meet the needs of their shoppers and compete with mainstream food outlets that have since begun selling the natural and organic products that co-ops once held near monopolies on.

People, that may have been the best chicken I ever had. It’s definitely going in our regular rotation. The leftovers were great for making chicken salad sandwiches, or for just opening the refrigerator door and picking at. WINNER. The second how-can-Imake-chicken-edible method I tried was the kabob. I generally like chicken better if it’s in small pieces, like in a curry or soup or in a salad.

So I figured the kabob would sort of get me those results as well.

I really love cooked pineapple, so I just decided to go with straight chicken and pineapple in an Asian marinade. To begin, I bought a bag of frozen boneless chicken thighs (remember, white meat doesn’t really work for me), thawed them and cut them into large, bite-sized hunks. Into a large

The 32-year-old St. Peter Food Co-op in St. Peter, Minn., for example, this spring moved into a 10,000-squarefoot former car dealership, nearly doubling its space.

Since the move, membership has increased by 10 percent, said general manager Margo O’Brien.

Setup costs Joining a food co-op generally entails paying a one-time fee that averages about $150, though payment plans are available with much lower fees, and some co-ops offer waivers for low-income shoppers. For that, members own a share of the co-op, might receive a share in the profits, and get to vote for things such as who sits on the store’s board of directors, and whether the store should expand or open a second site.

Most co-ops don’t require shoppers to be members, but the culture of the stores encourages it.

“It’s a very democratic type of organization. And then when the business is profitable the profits go back to those owners who are the

bowl they went, to marinate overnight.

ASIAN CHICKEN KABOB MARINADE 1/2 cup soy sauce 1 teaspoon Thai fish sauce 1 teaspoon wasabi paste 2 teaspoon Sriracha 1/3 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoon sesame oil 1/2 cup water (for volume)

Whisk those ingredients together and pour over the chicken, cover and put it in the refrigerator. I did mine overnight, but a couple hours would probably do. Then just thread them onto skewers with hunks of pineapple.

I had enough chicken that I did two pieces of chicken for every one piece of pineapple.

I do recommend a fresh pineapple for this. There is no comparison with the canned stuff.

If you use bamboo skewers,

people that shop in the store and it’s usually done based on how much they patronize the store,” Reid said.

Though not all cooperative markets specialize in natural and organic foods, most at least focus on local and bulk items, everything from laundry detergent to rice and nuts. And most of those products often come with higher prices.

“The perception of higher costs comes from the decisions about which products they sell,” Reid said.

“The products themselves are not more expensive,” he said. “The way that they’re grown and the way that the people who produce them are paid adds costs and ... it’s not subsidized like commodity products are.”

The price and array of products aren’t for everyone.

Even co-op members may do only a portion of their shopping there. When the city of Burlington opted to replace its old downtown grocery store with a co-op nearly a decade ago, some people in the community balked. “’You’re not going to take away my red meat and make me eat tofu,” Reid said was one fear he heard.

Co-ops typically start at the grassroots level with one or two people wanting to replicate another co-op. Startups can range from a few hundred members to a couple of thousand.

Some of the more established co-ops are backed by tens of thousands of members.

As co-ops have evolved, they’ve shed some of their old image. A focus on local and artisanal goods — including locally raised or produced meats, cheeses, beers and wines — as well as the addition of delis and prepared foods have attracted a whole new foodcentered generation of shoppers.

don’t forget they have to soak for an hour before you grill or they’ll burn up.

Grill over medium heat, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

I don’t know why food that comes on a stick is so exciting to me, but I really enjoyed it, as did all the guests at my party. Those suckers were gone before anything else. I had to fight a woman for mine, and it was my own damned birthday.

I am happy to report that I’ve made peace with the chicken and am still looking for more ways to make what usually feels like a boring “throwaway” sort of dinner option more exciting.

Here’s to you, fowl. May we grill in harmony forever.

Put the sexy back in chicken

S

ince we spent so much time outdoors this year, our grill got a workout like it’s never seen before.

But, when you are grilling on almost a nightly basis, your repertoire of basics — hot dogs, hamburgers, steaks, brats — gets a little tired.

I am not a fan of the chicken breast, or white meat in general, so the idea of marinating chicken for the grill has never done a whole lot for me. But, let’s face it: I can’t be eating beef and pork every meal, so I needed to find ways to introduce chicken in a manner we’d enjoy.

The first thing we tried (for the first time even though we know we’re late to the party) was beer can chicken. I don’t know why we never did it before. It was divine and really simple to do.

I started by rinsing a whole chicken thoroughly and removing all the stuff from inside — neck, gizzards, etc.

It’s important that you get the chicken really dry before b you do the spice rub. Next, and I promise that this will sound disgusting but it’s actually a great bit of wisdom that my friend Lindsey imparted on me, you rub the whole bird down with mayonnaise. That’s right. Give that chicken a mayo bath. The egg and oil will give the bird a delicious, crispy exterior.

Then I mixed up a spice rub, and this can be whatever floats your boat. I did basically equal parts of the following:

BEER CAN CHICKEN SPICE RUB Lemon pepper Garlic powder Kosher salt Pepper Cumin Cayenne (just a dash of this) Lawry’s Seasoned Salt (I used extra of this for bulk) Oregano Thyme

FRYING PEPPERS are the general term for several different thin-walled, small peppers, many of which would look just like an Anaheim or a pale poblano or monster jalapeño if put in a lineup. Frying peppers, whether green, red or somewhere in between are actually very mild. When sautéed or fried, they are as sweet as anything shaped like the more familiar bell.

What do I do with: frying peppers ————

These dead ringers for the bell or jalapeño are sweeter

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

You probably know a bell pepper on sight. A jalapeño, too. And maybe a poblano if you’re into that kind of thing.

But is that Anaheim really an Anaheim? Are you sure? Because you might just be in for a sweet surprise called a frying pepper.

Frying peppers are the general term for several different thin-walled, small peppers, many of which would look just like an Anaheim or a pale poblano or monster jalapeño if put in a lineup.

Even a farmer might not pick out the right one.

“Actually, one reason I don’t do the fryers is I don’t want to mix them up,” says Hoyland Farm’s Bob Lominska, who grows Anaheims but not fryers.

“It’s like, you don’t want to do banana peppers and Hungarian Hot Wax, because people who don’t like hot peppers don’t want to be surprised.”

Nancy O’Connor, director of education and outreach at The Merc, 901 S. Iowa, says when she wrote her popular local produce book, “Rolling Prairie Cookbook,” one of the specific requests from the farm-

ers backing her was for her to write recipes and instructions pertaining to the frying peppers.

“There’s that whole category of peppers that aren’t bell peppers and aren’t distinctive hot peppers, so they seem for many consumers (to be) just a mish-mash,” she says, adding customers are usually more “confident” with peppers they know like bell and jalapeño. “I think it’s daunting because I think if a customer sees a small pepper, they assume hot and that’s not necessarily the case.”

Nope, frying peppers, whether green, red or somewhere

in between, are actually very mild. When sautéed or fried, they are as sweet as anything shaped like the more familiar bell.

“I like to tell people they’re spicy without being hot,” says Mark Lumpe of Wakarusa Valley Farm.

Lumpe produces a large amount of frying peppers.

He started growing them 15 years ago at the request of his mother, who loves to fry them up with onion and garlic before freezing them for the dark days of winter. He buys seeds in Please see PEPPERS, page 9B

You will need quite a bit of rub, because you have to coat the whole chicken thoroughly b plus have some for the beer can. I made about 3/4 cup of the stuff and had a little leftover for sprinkling while the chicken was on the grill.

Meanwhile, you should have your grill ready. If you use charcoal, plan ahead because you want your coals at about medium heat. Also, prepare your coals to give indirect heat, which means moving them to the sides of the grill so they’re not directly under the bird.

We borrowed a nifty beer Please see FORK, page 9B

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

Dear Sick: We’re impressed that you’ve tolerated this woman for 45 years. If Elaine tells a lie in your presence, say sweetly, “Now, Elaine, dear, you know that isn’t true. You simply must stop making things up.” Unfortunately, you have little control over what she says to her children behind your back. When you see the kids,

Bad script sends film ‘To the Mat’ A Hallmark movie set in the world of professional wrestling breaks out on a network known for country music. Is “To the Mat” (7 p.m., CMT) as bad as it sounds? No. It’s much worse.

Laura Bell Bundy plays Janice, a hotshot Wall Street consultant hired to save a wrestling academy in rural Georgia.

Sure. I’ll believe that! She’s miffed at the gig because it takes her away from elaborate wedding plans to a fussy older guy who seems more into her snobby mother.

But never mind. You know they’ll never get married, because once she gets to Georgia she meets Aaron (Ricky Schroder), an ex-wrestler who spouts corny down-home cliches and bristles at any intervention from a city slicker.

The movie was written by C. Jay Cox (”Sweet Home Alabama”), a man who clearly cannot leave a Dixie stereotype unturned.

And while we’re on that subject, “You Don’t Know Dixie” (8 p.m., History) examines myths and misconceptions about the South.

O Children who can evangelize before they can read are the subject of “Pint-Sized Preachers” (9 p.m., National Geographic).

There has been a long tradition of child ministers, but YouTube videos and social media have given some contemporary preschool preachers star status. ‘‘Pint-Sized” follows Kanon Tipton of Mississippi, a 4- year-old who can hold a congregation spellbound. Now 12, Florida preacher Terry Durham seems to be suffering the fate of child actors, losing a following because he’s no longer cute.

And Matheus Moraes of Rio de Janeiro spreads the gospel to prisons.

Each of these portraits shows their subjects delivering dazzling sermons. But we also see backstage machinations, and an emphasis on money, fancy clothes, technique and a cult of personality that leave some believing there is as much show business at work here as spirituality.

O Fans awaiting the return of “Mad Men” and its mid- 20th century atmosphere should not miss “The Hour” (9 p.m., BBC America), a six-episode espionage thriller set in Britain’s television industry, circa 1956.

O Howie Mandell hosts “Mobbed” (7 p.m., Fox), a “making of a flash mob” documentary about a less- than-spontaneous wedding proposal. Once known for elaborate, choreographed musical numbers, flash mobs are now being blamed for premeditated acts of violence in Philadelphia and have been named as a factor in England’s recent civil unrest.

Tonight’s other highlights O Four acts enter the semifinals on “America’s Got Talent” (8 p.m., NBC).

O “Confessions: Animal Hoarding” (8 p.m. and 9 p.m., Animal Planet) catches up with some older cases.

O “Law & Order: UK” (9 p.m., BBC America) enters its second season.

O Scheduled on “Primetime” (9 p.m., ABC): psychic powers.

O Tommy reflects at the old WTC site on “Rescue Me” (9 p.m., FX).

O Fran Drescher’s “Nanny” co-star Charles Shaughnessy guest-stars on the season finale of “Happily Divorced” (9:30 p.m., TV Land).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Wednesday, Aug. 17: If one looks at the end results of this coming year, one would have to say you will have a very fortunate year, with promotions and greater visibility. The dayto-day experience of your life could be wild, with many unexpected twists and turns. If you are single, don’t make a commitment this year; wait until June 2012. If you are attached, the two of you become more visible as a couple.

ARIES can be more fiery than you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) +++++ “Mellow” might be the way you want to handle yourself.

Somehow, an unanticipated situation triggers you.

Tonight: Walk away from negativity.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ++ Know when to retreat. Others could be inordinately volatile. Tonight: Hide out.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ++++ You fare well in a volatile environment.

You are OK dealing with many different points of

view. Tonight: Let go of today and enjoy the here and now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) +++++ You might be taken aback by someone’s display of fireworks.

Your reaction could be so strong, you might have difficulty not responding.

Tonight: Many people take their cues from you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) +++++ Test your ability to read between the lines. You could be quite frustrated dealing with someone at a distance who seems to be determined to upset the apple cart. Tonight: Follow the music.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) +++++ Deal directly with a partner who might be vested in having his or her way. Rather than fight city hall, go it alone.

Tonight: Get together with a friend or loved one.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) +++++ You could be stressed out by what is going on. You might feel out of whack dealing with the unpredictability of others.

Tonight: Let someone else choose.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) +++ Pace yourself,

recognizing just how much you have to do. Welcome any shortcuts, but end any unexpected interference.

Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise, then head home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ++++ You easily could be stressed about everything that you have to do in order to accomplish certain key goals. Tonight: Fun and games.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ++++ Stay centered, knowing full well what you want and what you can expect. Family, an investment and security score as major priorities. Tonight: Ride with the waves.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ++++ You are likely to say what you want. You might wonder what is happening within a friendship.

Tonight: Visit with a friend.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ++++ You can make waves in your immediate circle, but do you really want to? The reaction could be difficult to handle, at best. Tonight: Buy a thoughtful gift.

Dear Annie: “Elaine” has been married to my brother for 45 years. She is critical, opinionated and condescending, and she loves to use her poison tongue to point out our faults to her husband and children. I do my best to remain cordial for my brother’s sake, but it is nearly impossible.

When they married, we welcomed Elaine with open arms, but she made it clear that we were never good enough. When I was a teenager, she tried to plant seeds of doubt in my mind, saying my parents didn’t love me.

When Elaine went back to college later in life, she became worse. She analyzed everything we said or did at family gatherings, making all events stressful. When confronted about her attitude, she blamed others because, of course, she is never wrong.

I now realize Elaine lacks self-confidence and trashed our family in order to eliminate competition for the affection of her husband and children. She has no respect for others. After my parents died, Elaine told my daughter that her grandparents didn’t love her, and that their lives were one bitter feud that only Elaine was smart enough to notice. My confused daughter asked me about these comments, which fortunately
