Westar seeks rate increase

Injury accidents gnarl traffic on 3 highways

By Scott Rothschild

srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Westar Energy, the largest electric company in Kansas, is seeking a $91 million rate increase that would raise the typical residential ratepayer’s bill by $6.50 per month.

Westar officials said Thursday that the 5.85 percent increase in its base price was needed to comply with new federal regulations and other higher costs, including trimming trees to keep them away from power lines.

“Our customers and our state depend on reliable electric infrastructure,” said Mark Ruelle, Westar’s chief executive officer. “Unfortunately, the cost of keeping our system reliable has gone up.”

State receives $3.2M for health care

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Kansas is getting more “Obamacare” money despite Gov. Sam Brownback’s opposition to the law.

The state received $3.2 million from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of $137 million awarded to nearly every state, it was announced Thursday.

Of Kansas’ share, $3.1 million is to strengthen public health immunization and nearly $100,000 is for a tobacco cessation services.

“More than ever, it is important to help states fight disease and protect public health,” said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, a former governor of Kansas.

EMERGENCY PERSONNEL WORK TO FREE A PENNY’S CONCRETE TRUCK DRIVER from his rig around 3:30 p.m. Thursday near the Eudora exit on Kansas Highway 10 after the truck overturned, trapping the driver inside. The driver was flown by air ambulance to an area hospital.

Around the same time Thursday, emergency crews were dispatched to injury accidents on Interstate 70 and U.S. Highway 24-40.

All lanes of Kansas Highway 10 near Eudora were reopened shortly after 10:15 p.m. Thursday after the Kansas Highway Patrol’s commercial vehicle accident reconstruction team investigated a serious incident from Thursday afternoon.

The highway was closed for more than six hours.

The accident was the last of three accidents reported in Douglas County between 3 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. Thursday. Helicopter ambulances were re-

quested for all three. The other two accidents were on the Kansas Turnpike west of Lecompton and on U.S. Highway 24-40 near the Douglas-Leavenworth county line.

In the K-10 accident, a cement mixer and passenger car were involved, and the driver of the cement mixer suffered critical injuries. He was trapped in his truck for more than 30 minutes while Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical workers tried to rescue him. He was taken to a regional trauma center for treatment.

K-10 was closed both eastbound and westbound to give emergency officials room to work.

The family members of former Kansas University Athletic Director Bob Frederick has reached an out-ofcourt settlement with the final two defendants in a lawsuit filed after his 2009 death following a bicycle accident, attorneys said Thursday.

Black Hills Energy and Concrete Inc. of Lawrence were the remaining defendants in the suit. The Frederick family’s lawsuit had alleged that Black Hills and contractors were negligent in completing repair work on pavement near the intersection of Sixth Street and Kasold Drive. Frederick, 69, died June 12, 2009, one day after he was injured when his bicycle struck a hole near the intersection.

“The Frederick family feels that this resolution has ensured that Black Hills has been held accountable, not just to the family but to the community of Lawrence,” said Dave Morantz, an attorney who along with attorney

“We are obviously saddened by his death, and the matter is resolved.

The settlement is confidential,” said Marc Erickson, an attorney representing Black Hills Energy. “We don’t really have any further comment at this point.”

Erickson did say Black Hills Energy was not admitting fault or liability as part of the resolution. Craig Blumreich, an attorney for Concrete Inc., did not return a call seeking comment Thursday.

Morantz said discovery in the case revealed the person riding with Frederick at the time of the accident testified in a deposition that she also did not see the hole in the pavement.

Saturday forum to address school finance fears

issues likely to become major initiatives during the upcoming legislative session, Quick said. Brownback is likely to push for cutting the state income tax, a major source of revenue for a statewide budget that already sends more than half of its revenue — more than $3 billion — into K-12 education.

If cutting taxes led to less revenue, Quick said, then it would be logical to expect the state to continue reducing the amount of money sent to school districts.

The Lawrence school district is enduring a $3 million cut from the state for this academic year, following cuts of $4.6 million for 2010-11 and more than $3 million for 2009-10.

“That sets a difficult stage for educating kids than in years when you have money to add programs and provide raises,” said Vanessa San-

With Gov. Sam Brownback contemplating cuts in the state income tax and making other potential changes in revenue sources, Democrats are organizing a forum to consider how such efforts might drain state financing for public schools.

And they’ll convene in one of the two counties statewide that Brownback failed to carry in the November election.

“You’ve got to start somewhere,” said Ed Quick, chairman of the Douglas County Democratic Party. “If people see we’re talking about it, then other places in the state will start talking about it.”

ers,” Jerrim said. “We do that by creating conversation between writers.”

KU’s tutors don’t proofread papers and send them back to students, though many students might rather they did, Jerrim said. The free service for students on the fourth floor of Anschutz Library instead has a tutor read a paper and then give feedback. A tutor might, for example, explain what subject-verb disagreement errors are, give an example and encourage students to fix the errors they find.

The challenge in Iraq becomes even greater because the tutors usually don’t speak English as their first language either, Sansom said, but added that the cooperative process usually helps everyone.

“Writers always need to bounce things off of somebody,” Jerrim said.

Meanwhile on U.S. 24-40, a car and a motorcycle were involved in an accident that occurred shortly after 3:30 p.m. at mile marker 397. One person suffered critical injuries, and at least one other person had sustained unknown, less serious injuries.

According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, the accident occurred when the vehicle in front of the motorcycle stopped suddenly.

The driver and passenger on the motorcycle, identified as Manhattan residents Donald H. Burnett, 63, and Doreen H. Burnett, 65, were thrown from the motorcycle when Donald attempted to brake.

Donald Burnett was to be taken by LifeStar helicopter to Kansas University Hospital, but another accident was reported at the same time, and the helicopter was dispatched to that accident instead. The KHP report lists both patients as being transported to KU Hospital and Lawrence Memorial Hospital, respectively.

Nursing supervisors at each location had no additional information on the patients’ conditions Thursday night.

The report states that neither patient thrown from the motorcycle was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Poll: 87% disapprove of Congress Americans are plenty angry at Congress in the aftermath of the debt crisis and Republicans could pay the greatest price, a new Associated Press-GfK poll suggests.

The poll finds the tea party has lost support, Republican House Speaker John Boehner is increasingly unpopular and people are warming to the idea of not just cutting spending but also raising taxes — anathema to the GOP — just as both parties prepare for another struggle with deficit reduction.

To be sure, there is plenty of discontent to go around. The poll finds more people are down on their own member of Congress, not just the institution, an unusual finding in surveys and one bound to make incumbents particularly nervous. In interviews, some people said the debt standoff itself, which caused a crisis of confidence to ripple through world markets, made them wonder whether lawmakers are able to govern at all.

“I guess I long for the day back in the ’70s and ’80s when we could disagree but we could get a compromise worked out,” said Republican Scott MacGregor, 45, a Windsor, Conn., police detective. “I don’t think there’s any compromise anymore.”

Planning Commission not sold on fake turf

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Don’t tell Lawrence-Douglas County planning commissioners that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence — not if it is artificial grass, anyway.

Developers of a new west Lawrence apartment complex were one step closer Thursday to being required to tear out

thousands of dollars of artificial turf that they installed as landscaping at the Tuckaway Apartments at Frontier. Planning commissioners on Wednesday evening balked at changing city rules to allow the use of artificial turf as a replacement for traditional grass.

“It is just a lesser alternative in our view,” said Planning Director Scott McCullough, who recommended against the use of artificial turf. “There are other

methods out there that have the same benefit of low maintenance but are more beneficial to the environment.”

Paul Werner, a Lawrence architect for the apartment complex, said he expects to have further discussions with the city to see if a compromise on the product can be reached. The rule change before planning commissioners would have allowed the widespread use of artificial turf in both commercial

A spirited kickoff to the season

Low rates may hinder economy Super-low interest rates haven’t done what they usually do after a recession. They haven’t ignited economic growth or revived the home market or persuaded consumers to spend freely again.

They have, though, caused misery for retirees and others who depend on interest income. Such income plummeted 27 percent from 2008 to last year.

Now, some economists worry that low rates might be hurting the economy itself — defeating the purpose of the Federal Reserve’s low-rate policies.

When savers earn less, they spend less. And spending by individuals drives about 70 percent of the U.S. economy.

Those concerns arise 2 and a half years after the Fed pushed short-term rates to near zero, part of an effort to combat the gravest recession since the 1930s. It’s kept rates there since.

Wrestling with the challenges of documents in the digital age, U.S. officials are destroying millions of paper federal court records to save storage costs — and raising the ire of some historians, private detectives and others who heavily rely on the files.

The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration says at least 10 million bankruptcy case files and several million district court files from 1970 through 1995 will be shredded, pounded to pulp and recycled. Files designated as historically valuable, however, will be kept in storage.

Federal archivists spent years consulting legal scholars, historians and others about which files to purge after realizing that sorting and digitizing just the bankruptcy cases would cost tens of millions of dollars. None of the civil or criminal cases up for destruction went to trial, and docket sheets that list basic information such as names of defendants and plaintiffs will be saved from each case.

Romney sticks with strategy

Dozens dead in attack on casino Two dozen gunmen burst into a casino in northern Mexico on Thursday, doused it with gasoline and started a fire that trapped gamblers inside, killing at least 45 people and injuring a dozen more, authorities said.

The fire at the Casino Royale in Monterrey, a city that has seen a surge in drug cartel-related violence, represented one of the deadliest attacks on an entertainment center in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon launched an offensive against drug cartels in late 2006.

Calderon tweeted that the attack was “an abhorrent act of terror and barbarism” that requires “all of us to persevere in the fight against these unscrupulous criminal bands.”

Despite a new rival’s surge, Mitt Romney is campaigning as though he’s still the GOP presidential front-runner, focusing his criticisms on President Barack Obama, taking few risks and keeping most proposals vague enough to leave ample maneuvering room.

That may change soon, however, as events shift the contest to a higher gear. September will bring several GOP debates that will include Texas Gov. Rick Perry for the first time, as well as renewed attention to the question of how to create desperately needed jobs.

The former Massachusetts governor may be pushed out of his comfort zone even sooner if Perry’s fast rise seems real and lasting.

For months, Romney has largely floated above the sparring. He let Michele Bachmann knock her fellow Minnesotan Tim Pawlenty out of the race in Iowa, for instance, and refused to be drawn into tit-for-tat exchanges over policy details. Perry, the sudden favorite among Republicans according to a Gallup poll, may force Romney to turn his focus away from Obama and sharpen his differences with fellow Republicans.

TOPEKA — Spending related to recreation on Perry, Milford and Tuttle Creek lakes totals more than $45.3 million per year, according to a study released Thursday.

“The study sheds light on how important all of our state’s water resources are to our economy and to the people and natural resources they support,” said Robin Jennison, secretary of Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

The report, prepared for the Kansas Water Office and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, also said 80 percent to 90 percent of the visitors to the reservoirs were from outside the region.

“During these trying economic times, this is great news for the state of Kansas,” said KWO Director Tracy Streeter.

And the study showed that releases from the three reservoirs to help navigation on the Missouri River adversely affected recreational use.

This has long been a sore point with Kansas officials who have argued that drawing down the lakes to assist barges and other commercial watercraft on the Missouri River has little to no effect on streamflow, while it greatly hampers recreational use of the lakes.

The annual visitor spending at Perry was $15.8 million; Milford, $17.1 million; and Tuttle Creek, $12.4 million.

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback will be the keynote speaker at a fundraiser for a group that supports elimination of the state income tax, using tax credits to send children to private schools and a 401(k) plan for new state employees to replace the current pension system.

The annual dinner of the Kansas Policy Institute is scheduled for Sept. 20 at the Hyatt Regency in Wichita.

Brownback’s speech topic is “Creating Jobs Through Fundamental Tax Reform.”

KPI said he will discuss his goal of eliminating the state income tax.

Tickets to the event are $3,000 for a “personal freedom sponsor,” which includes a reception, dinner, a copy of “Rich States, Poor States” with a foreword written by Brownback, and top listing in the program; $2,000 for a “free market sponsor,” which includes the same features except prominent listing in the program.

A “limited government sponsorship” includes reception and dinner and listing in the program, and individual tickets for a general reception and dinner are $85 each.

KPI describes itself as “an independent think tank that advocates for free market solutions and the protection of

personal freedom for all Kansans.”

Dave Trabert, the group’s president, has frequently appeared before legislative committees to testify.

Trabert said elimination of the state personal income tax and reducing the corporate income tax would spur economic growth in the state.

He said the proposal will be one of the major issues of the 2012 legislative session that starts in January.

Brownback has said he wants to eliminate the tax but has not proposed a specific plan.

Nick Jordan, Brownback’s revenue secretary, is working on a proposal to present to the governor prior to the legislative session.

At a summit on the service economy in Overland Park on Wednesday, Brownback said that making changes to the state’s tax code was critical.

“People act economically rational,” he said. “We’ve got to create a rationale for people to grow here and be here,” he said.

But he got some push back from several business leaders at the summit. Some said they feared reducing the income tax would put pressure to increase the state sales tax, while other said they feared it would reduce revenue available for public schools.

BRIEFLY Sixth professor awarded fellowship Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little surprised Joey Sprague, professor of sociology, with a Kemper Fellowship on Thursday.

Sprague is the sixth professor on the Lawrence campus to receive the award recognizing excellence in teaching this year. She has been a member of the KU faculty since 1984 and joined the KU Women’s Hall of Fame in 2009.

Supported by the William T. Kemper Foundation and KU Endowment, the recognition comes with a $7,500 cash award. Sprague joins other 2011 winners Jorge Pérez, Anna Neill, Andrea Herstowski, Robert Ward and Arvin Agah.

Seven professors on the Lawrence campus are scheduled to receive a fellowship this year, along with three faculty members at KU Medical Center.

KU student injured in apparent fall A 19-year-old female Kansas University student was taken to a Kansas City-area hospital by helicopter ambulance early Thursday morning after suffering serious injuries in an apparent fall just east of the KU campus, according to emergency and KU officials.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical division chief Joe Hoelscher said that once medics arrived on scene about 12:30 a.m. in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street, they determined the victim possibly had multiple broken bones.

Hoelscher said additional information about how the fall occurred or what led to the incident was not available, and Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said officers were investigating it as a medical emergency. He said Thursday there were no apparent witnesses.

Early Thursday morning, Lawrence police Sgt. Craig

shouldn’t be used everywhere,” Werner said. “I kind of think this is like when fake stone started being used on buildings several years ago. It looked really good, but then when you found out it was fake you didn’t like it.”

Planning commissioners rejected the rule change on a 6-2 vote. City commissioners ultimately will make a final ruling on the issue, unless the development group — which is led by Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel — withdraws the request in an effort to come up with a new compromise.

Werner didn’t provide an estimate on how much the development group spent on installing the turf, but it was used as lawn material around all of the buildings of the 96unit apartment complex at 546 Frontier Road. Developers began installing the artificial turf, believing that it was allowed in the city’s code. When city inspectors notified them that artificial turf wasn’t allowed, developers continued installing the turf — which they had already purchased — with the hope regulations could be changed.

“The developer and the owner of the complex are just absolutely sold on the product,” Werner said. “From a no-maintenance standpoint, no fertilizer, no pesticides.

There are a ton of advantages to the stuff.”

But McCullough said the planning department thinks there are plenty of natural plants and landscaping that can be used by people who want a low-maintenance alternative. Plus, McCullough said, there is significant re-

Shanks said the woman had not been cooperative with officers and medical staff as they responded to the incident.

The woman was transported to the parking lot of Lawrence High School, where a LifeStar helicopter took her to Kansas University Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. Jill Jess, a KU spokeswoman, confirmed the woman was a student, but police did not release her name.

DUI check lane scheduled tonight As part of an ongoing effort to remove drunken drivers from the road, Lawrence police will conduct a DUI check lane in the city this evening, said Lawrence Police Sgt. Matt Sarna.

Also, the Lawrence Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office are participating in special enforcement that runs through Sept. 5. Officers will be on the lookout for impaired drivers, speeding, and adult and child restraint violations.

The Kansas Department of Transportation has announced special funding for overtime to allow law enforcement officers across the state to increase patrols to detect drunken drivers before, during and after Labor Day weekend.

to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds. It will be a traditional powwow with tobacco, alcohol and firearms forbidden, he said.

The Indian Council, which encompasses a 150-mile radius from the Kansas-Missouri state line at Interstate 70, has representatives from about 20 Native American tribes, Henre said. But he said members of many more tribes could be present because of the presence of Haskell Indian Nations University students.

“Everybody is invited,” he said. “We encourage everyone to come out and have a good time. Everything is free, parking and camping.”

Man faces trial for child sexual abuse

A Douglas County judge Thursday ordered a 26-yearold man to face a trial on charges that he sexually abused a 6-year-old girl in Eudora over a period of time.

In other planning news, planning commissioners approved a preliminary development plan for a new apartment complex in the Oread neighborhood.

Commissioners unanimously approved plans for a new complex at 1043 Ind., which is the site of the old Varsity House property. The project will move the Varsity House about 200 feet to the north to

make room for a new development that will include five onebedroom apartments, 41 twobedroom apartments, and four three-bedroom apartments.

The old Varsity House would be converted into a boarding house with six bedrooms. The whole project would have two levels of underground parking, which would be a new feature for apartments in the crowded Oread neighborhood. The project’s design, though, still must be approved by the Historic Resources Commission, which is tentatively scheduled to discuss it Sept. 15. Historic preservationists have expressed concerns about moving the Varsity House, a 1908 home that got its name by serving as a boarding house for the KU football team in the 1950s.

Hurricane Irene makes way toward East Coast

By Mitch Weiss and Seth Borenstein

Date of Publication: August 26, 2011

Associated Press

BUXTON, N.C. — A monstrous Hurricane Irene tightened its aim on the Eastern Seaboard on Thursday, threatening 65 million people along a shore-hugging path from North Carolina to New England. One of the nation’s top experts called it his “nightmare” scenario.

The Category 3 storm with winds of 115 mph — the threshold for a major hurricane — would be the strongest to strike the East Coast in seven years, and people were already getting out of the way.

Tens of thousands fled North Carolina beach towns, farmers pulled up their crops, and the Navy ordered ships to sea so they could endure the punishing wind and waves in open water.

All eyes were on Irene’s projected path, which showed it bringing misery to every city along the I-95 corridor, including Washington, New York and Boston. The former chief of the National Hurricane Center called it one of his three worst possible situations.

“One of my greatest nightmares was having a major hurricane go up the whole Northeast Coast,” Max Mayfield, the center’s retired director, told The Associated Press.

He said the damage will probably climb into billions of dollars: “This is going to have an impact on the United States economy.”

The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said damages could exceed most previous storms because so many people live along the East Coast and property values are high.

“We’ve got a lot more peo-

CREW MEMBERS OF THE GUIDED MISSILE DESTROYER Mason load food supplies aboard the ship early Thursday as the ship prepared to get underway with other Navy ships from the Norfolk Naval Station ahead of approaching hurricane Irene. The U.S. Navy ordered more than 60 ships out to safer waters Thursday so they could better weather the storm. ple that are potentially in the path of this storm,” FEMA Director Craig Fugate said in an interview with The Associated Press. “This is one of the largest populations that will be impacted by one storm at one time.”

The storm would “have a lot of impact well away from the coastline,” he added. “A little bit of damage over big areas with large populations can add up fast.”

Irene was massive, with tropical-force winds extending almost twice as far as normal, about the same size as Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005.

“It’s not going to be a Katrina, but it’s serious,” said MIT meteorology professor Kerry Emanuel. “People have to take it seriously.”

The governors of North

Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New York and New Jersey declared emergencies to free up resources, and authorities all the way to New England urged residents in low-lying areas to gather supplies and learn the way to a safe location.

Irene was expected to come ashore Saturday in North Carolina with 115 mph winds and a storm surge of 5 to 10 feet. Warnings were out for the entire coast. It could dump a foot of rain, with as much as 15 inches falling in some places along the coast and around Chesapeake Bay. With heavy rain and storm surge predicted for the nation’s capital, organizers postponed Sunday’s dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall.

Airlines start canceling flights

By David Koenig Associated Press

Airlines began to cancel flights and move planes out of the way as Hurricane Irene barreled toward the U.S. mainland on Thursday.

The storm will likely force hundreds of cancellations through this weekend and create delays that could ripple across the country.

Airlines said passengers could rebook those trips to many East Coast destinations, from Boston to the Carolinas, for free.

American Airlines and its American Eagle affiliate, with an extensive network in the Caribbean, canceled 126 flights on Thursday. Most were in the Bahamas and south Florida, including Miami, a jumping-off spot for flights to the Carib-

bean and Latin America.

Delta Air Lines reported four cancellations, and United one. Those and other airlines were watching Irene’s path before deciding how many flights to scrub and where today.

Even before Irene’s arrival, unrelated thunderstorms were causing delays of up to two hours Thursday at major airports in the New York and Washington areas, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware. The service’s CEO, Daniel Baker, predicted that Irene-related cancellations would pick up this afternoon and become significant on Saturday.

The storm is expected to come ashore in North Carolina on Saturday then churn up the East Coast, bringing heavy rain and high winds

to Washington, Philadelphia and New York on Sunday.

Rail travel will also be affected. Amtrak announced it will cancel most passenger service south of Washington today, Saturday and Sunday. Amtrak still planned to operate trains between southern Virginia and Washington and between Atlanta and New Orleans.

The airlines’ preparation reflects a new approach to dealing with big storms. In recent years, they have waived ticket-change fees and canceled flights long before storms arrive. That has helped reduce the number of travelers and flight crews who get stranded at airports. Canceling flights ahead of time keeps planes out of the path of damaging storms and lets airlines resume normal schedules more quickly after the bad weather passes.

NEW YORK — Warren Buffett comes to the rescue again.

Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. announced Thursday that it would invest $5 billion in Bank of America Corp., a much-needed vote of confidence that sent the beleaguered bank’s stock soaring 9 percent.

“Buffett is Bank of America’s white knight,” said Glenn Schorr, bank analyst at Nomura equity research.

The legendary investor said in a prepared statement that he reached out to Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan to say he wanted to invest because he considered the bank a “strong, well-led company.”

NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

Lately, the market has rendered a different verdict.

As recently as Tuesday, Bank of America’s stock had plunged 50 percent from a year ago on concerns over its mortgage problems and worries that it would have to sell large amounts of stock to shore up its balance sheet.

The sell-off was seen as a major challenge for the bank and Moynihan, who has been at the helm since January 2010.

While Buffett’s investment is like a drop in the bucket at the largest U.S. bank with $2.2 trillion in assets, it comes with an imprimatur of confidence that is worth a lot more.

by Scott Adams

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the Development Services Office. All comments received by September 3, 2011 will be considered by the City of Lawrence prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.

Ellen Goodman’s ‘Equal Rites’ awards

EDITORIALS

Local retail Competition for shoppers’ dollars will only increase, and local merchants and officials must meet the challenge.

T

his past Sunday’s Journal-World story that gave a thorough report on the ownership of business properties along the downtown section of Massachusetts Street sends a clear signal that these property owners and Lawrence city commissioners should be able to plan and develop a superior and visionary business district.

The report showed approximately 70 to 75 percent of the businesses are owned by local residents. In past years, a greater percentage had been owned by individuals or businesses located outside of Lawrence.

Local owners and local lawmakers should be able to figure out what is in the best interests of the property-business owners and the city. In past years, when out-of-town ownership was more prevalent, it was more difficult for all parOver the years, city ties to agree on projects to encommissioners have hance the busidug in their heels in ness district, protecting the city’s whether it was “central business disfor the develtrict” and perhaps this opment of offstreet parking has helped regional lots, diagonal markets such as The benLegends in Wyandotte parking, efit districts or County attract busiother improvenesses that otherwise ments. would have considered L a w r e n c e Lawrence as a location has an attracdowntown for one of their stores. tive business district with tolerable numbers of vacant storefronts. Over the years, city commissioners have dug in their heels in protecting the city’s “central business district” and perhaps this has helped regional markets such as The Legends in Wyandotte County attract businesses that otherwise would have considered Lawrence as a location for one of their stores.

This is past tense, but hopefully serves as a lesson as to what Lawrence must do to be competitive with other shopping areas in the region and keep as many sales as possible in Lawrence rather than losing them to other cities.

One of the major questions is whether the central business district will be able to attract high-volume retail stores that require easy access, convenient parking and preferably one-level shopping areas. The Sixth to 11th Mass. Street business district is landlocked and it is doubtful if it will be expanded east or west. Therefore, will this area continue to serve as a concentration of small specialty shops, restaurants and bars with large retail stores located in outlying areas along South Iowa Street, 23rd Street and Sixth Street and, to a lesser degree, along Wakarusa Street?

Competition for Lawrence retail dollars will become more intense in the years to come and how local merchants and city officials handle this challenge is critical to Lawrence in many ways.

Nothing is guaranteed.

BOSTON — And so once more, we gather to celebrate Aug. 26, the anniversary of women’s suffrage. It’s been 91 years since our foremothers won the right to vote. What would those courageous women say about a year in which the political spotlight on women ranged from Sarah Palin promoting Mama Grizzlies to Michele Bachmann serving tea? Or at least the tea party.

The one glimmer of progress in the food-fight halls of Congress is that women got four more seats. But those seats were in the brand new Congressional Ladies Room. Nine decades and all we get is potty parity? You go girl!

Despite all this, our onewoman panel prepares in good spirit to hand out the Equal Rites Awards to all those who did their best to do the worst for women in the past year. The envelopes please.

Let us begin with that crowd pleaser, the Raging Hormonal Imbalance Award. This year it goes to the advertisers pushing milk as a cure for PMS. They pitched their product to men allegedly suffering — ho, ho, ho — from the side effects of premenstrual women run amok. For this failed campaign, we award them a monthly dose of lactose intolerance.

Speaking of science, pseudo and sexist, the Male-Practice Award goes to Dr. Lazar Greenfield, once president-elect of the American College of Surgeons, for his Valentine’s Day editorial citing ‘research’ that college women who had unprotected sex were less depressed than those whose partners used a condom. “Now we know there’s a better gift for that day than chocolates,” he chuckled.

farewell gift, we ship him a daily portion of crow.

The Patriarch of This Year goes posthumously to Osama bin Laden, the man who incited so many followers to go to their just reward of 72 virgins. Osama espoused and enforced the “purity” of all women except the ones found in the stash of porn videos at his hideout. To the followers of this X-rated terrorist, we send a burqa suitable for covering hypocrisy.

And while we are abroad, the Backlash Prize goes to the Egyptian general who defended “virginity checks” on women protestors arrested in the uprising. The goal, he insisted, was to protect soldiers from false accusations of sexual assault: “We wanted to prove they weren’t virgins in the first place.” For using sexual assault as a defense against sex-

ual assault, we send him back to (Tahrir) Square One. Now let’s go home again, but first alas, we have to pass those TSA employees at the airport who are paid to make us feel safer, or just to feel us up.

The Knights (and Damsels) in Tarnished Armor Prize is won hands down (and up) by those who gave the full treatment to “Dancing With the Stars’” Cheryl Burke, former Miss USA Susie Castillo and assorted little girls taught to “just say no.” We put the TSA on red alert.

Speaking of warnings, let us remember the Testosterone Poisoning Poster Boy Prize. This goes to Arnold Schwarzenegger, the x-terminator and x-governor who belatedly admitted to fathering a son with his household employee. After becoming Maria Shriver’s x-husband, he was seen biking in a classy T-shirt bearing the slogan: “I Survived Maria.” We send him a replacement T-shirt: “Conan Wasn’t the Only Barbarian.”

No, the Post-Feminist Booby Prize does not go to 85-year-old playboy Hugh Hefner, dumped by a 25-year-old runaway bride.

It goes to NBC’s Chad Hodge, the producer who resurrected “The Playboy Club” for a new TV series, and then claimed that it was a show about empowering women. We send Hodge a bikini, a cottontail and a pair of bunny ears so he can feel powerful around the office.

Or how about a blindfold?

One of the longtime favorites, the Blind Justice Award, goes to our very own Supremes, led

by Justice Antonin Scalia, who ruled that the women of WalMart didn’t deserve their day in court for sex discrimination.

Wal-Mart wasn’t too big to fail,

it was too big to sue. We award Justice Scalia an encore career as a Wal-Mart greeter.

Anybody notice how rosy the female world has become?

The Pink Plague Prize for colorcoding grrrrls and boys goes to Molson Coors, which is literally pinkwashing beer. It’s a girl! I mean, it’s a girl-beer! Raise your pinkie!

And don’t forget the harmony. The Misogyny in Music Scoresheet — so many contenders, so few prizes — goes to David Guetta for those tone-deaf lyrics: “Damn, you’s a sexy b----, a sexy b----. Damn, you’s a sexy b----, damn, girl.” Shall we send him laryngitis?

Now for the Backwards Trailblazer Citation. This goes to Frederick County Commissioner Paul Smith, who justified slashing Head Start funds in his Maryland county because “mothers should be home with small children.” We send all the de-funded children to his house for day care.

Finally, we thought we might have to retire our Stand

By Your Man Prize after Anthony (look at my) Weiner’s bride rejected that role. But no, presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann volunteered, saying she only studied law because would-be First Laddie Marcus told her to.

Said Michele: “The Lord said, ‘Be submissive.’ Wives, you are to be submissive to your husbands.” The facts-orexic Michele insists that “submission” means “respect.” Right, and obedience is a synonym for equality. And with that curtain call we end this year ... unbowed.

Health fields top state wage survey TOPEKA (AP) — A new report from the state Labor Department finds that orthodontists were the top average hourly wage earners in Kansas last year, with doctors accounting for seven of the nine top slots.

The 2011 edition of the Kansas Wage Survey report is based on several measurements and contains data collected from November 2007 through 2010.

The report shows Kansas orthodontists earned an hourly average of $117.36 in 2010.

The average wage for all of Kansas in May 2010 was $18.89, up by 37 cents from 2009. The statewide average is higher than those in Nebraska and Oklahoma, but lower than Colorado and Missouri.

The survey looks at the wages of full and part-time, nonfarm workers, not counting self-employed workers, owners and partners in unincorporated firms.

Final Fridays There are so many great events in town tonight for the first anniversary of Final Fridays, it’s difficult to nail it down to just one must-see. Truthfully, it’s a push that comes down to personal preference. At the Journal-World, 645 N.H., we’re proud to present the Dear Lawrence community photo project, which showcases the work of our crack in-house photographers as well as photographers from the community who submitted their own photos of past moments in Lawrence’s history, set to the backdrop of the present. At the same time, there are photo galleries at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt., stopmotion Lego videos at The Toy Store, 936 Mass., and Photography — inclusing Jimi Hendrix, above — from Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone’s first chief photographer, at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. But the brightest highlight in this month’s Final Fridays has to be the Mobile Gallery Project. Starting at 4 p.m. a variety of photo galleries and exhibits will gather at the Spencer Art Museum, 1301 Miss., before beginning a long parade through campus that will eventually conclude downtown, where the participants and attendees will celebrate the art walk’s anniversary. It’s the first time that Kansas University is getting involved with the art walk and should yield something pretty special.

The beauty of these and all Final Fridays events is that they are free. All the events mention, save the mobile gallery, start at 5 p.m.

FREE STATE FALL SPORTS JAMBOREE

A tight race

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Beaty’s pitch: KU=UT For nearly half his life, sophomore James Sims, Kansas University’s leading rusher a year ago, has known KU receivers coach David Beaty.

Here’s how the pattern has gone: Beaty sells Sims on coming to play football for his team.

Sims buys what he’s selling, attends the school, and by the time he gets there, Beaty is working for Rice University.

It happened when Sims told Beaty he had nothing to worry about, he would attend MacArthur High in Irving, Texas, and resist the overtures of a football factory known for churning out running backs. That coincided with Beaty’s departure from high school coaching to college coaching.

Beaty left Rice to work for Mark Mangino at Kansas. In Mangino’s last year, Beaty convinced Sims to say yes to him one more time, but Mangino was forced into resigning, and his replacement, Turner Gill didn’t retain any of his assistant coaches. Beaty returned to Rice, and Sims honored his commitment to KU. When receivers coach Darryl Wyatt left KU for Texas, it didn’t take long to make the right call for a replacement. Gill brought Beaty back to Kansas.

“I feel like all I’ve done with James is recruit him,” Beaty said. “I recruited that dude since he was in sixth grade. I recruited his mom. I made sure he came to the school he was supposed to come to. When I was here (the first time), I was on the road trying to get him to come to Kansas. I got him committed before we left, and Turner and those guys did a good job of keeping him.”

Gill did a good job of bringing Beaty back to Kansas, where he has a knack for convincing Texas talent to take the same path he has traveled twice.

Having been one of them, Beaty knows what it takes to connect to high school coaches from the Dallas Metroplex. They know he’s a coach first, a salesmen second, because guys who can’t coach can’t win in big-time Texas high school football.

He knows how to connect to the top athletes from the highly competitive high schools because connecting with them was what he did for a living and did it so well he parlayed it into a college career. Beaty has that engaging quality that makes it difficult for recruits to say no to him.

He said he finds it easy to sell Kansas because all he has to do is share what it is that made him fall in love with the place.

“The thing that I really try to make them understand is when you grow up in the state of Texas, right, wrong or indifferent, all eyes are on the University of Texas. Period,” Beaty said.

“So everybody and everything is compared to that. So for me to draw an analogy to a kid, one of the easiest ways for me to do that very quickly is just to tell them, ‘Fellas, for me to make you understand what Kansas is, it is the University of Texas in Kansas. It is their Texas. It is just like that.’ And it is. This is exactly what it’s like here, so when they come here they’re like, ‘Man, I didn’t know it was like this.’ How unbelievable the facilities are, the commitment level, the fan following, the town, the location, how it’s close to Kansas City, and it’s got its own college-town feel to it. It’s got the best of both worlds.”

In Beaty, Gill has an assistant who brings the best of both worlds. He can recruit the talent to KU and he can coach it up.

FREE STATE QUARTERBACK KYLE MCFARLAND (15) runs for a touchdown during the Free State Fall Sports Jamboree on Thursday at FSHS.

QBs ‘pretty even,’ but both will play

By Kyle Davis Special to the Journal-World

Free State High School junior quarterback Kyle McFarland and sophomore quarterback Joe Dineen took nearly equal snaps, and both found the end zone Thursday at a scrimmage during the Free State Fall Sports Jamboree.

Both quarterbacks are battling to replace Dylan Perry as the starting quarterback, and FSHS head coach Bob Lisher said neither player had done anything to play himself out of the position.

“Really, it’s pretty even right now,” McFarland said. “It’s too close to call.”

With such a tight race, Lisher has a simple solution: Both are going to play.

“They’re both doing a good job

part of the second half of the scrimmage facing the varsity defense while playing with the junior varsity offense. The varsity team won the scrimmage, 46-6, starting each possession on the 40-yard line.

Lisher said his team needed to work on making sure its assignments are sound, while also playing hard and fast.

“We’ve got a ways to go, but we’ll get there,” Lisher said. “Our guys have just got to learn to play fast, hard and quick and do the right things.”

SMU eyes Big 12 The Associated Press

A&M serves league notice

By Kristie Rieken

SMU wants to join an automatic qualifying BCS conference and believes the Big 12 would be the best fit.

SMU athletic director Steve Orsini says he’s had informal talks with Big 12 officials for some time to inform them of the school’s improvements and growth.

He says it’s been SMU’s goal to join a BCS conference since it wasn’t included in the Southwest Conference’s merger with the Big 8. With Texas A&M looking to leave the Big 12 for the SEC, he felt it was time to promote SMU, currently in Conference USA, as a possible replacement.

The Big 12’s BCS status is the biggest draw for the Mustangs, but Orsini says getting to rekindle regional rivalries from the Southwest Conference also makes the Big 12 an attractive option.

Associated Press Sports Writer

Texas A&M took another step toward leaving the Big 12 on Thursday, formally telling the conference it was exploring all its options.

Less than a week after publicly expressing interest in joining the SEC, Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin said in a letter to conference Commissioner Dan Beebe that it shouldn’t be considered notice that the Aggies have already decided to leave.

“As I have indicated previously, we are working very deliber-

ately to act in the best long-term interests of both Texas A&M and the State of Texas,” Loftin said in a statement released by the university. “This truly is a 100-year decision. While we understand the desire of all parties to quickly reach a resolution, these are extremely complex issues that we are addressing methodically.”

Loftin received authority from the board of regents to take any action he deems necessary in terms of realignment on Aug. 15, a day after the SEC said it was happy with its current 12-school membership but left the door open to expansion.

The SEC declined comment Thursday.

KU football turns to first foe

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With the season opener against McNeese State just eight days away, Kansas University’s football team is beginning its preparations for game day.

“You start (looking ahead) as soon as that last ballgame’s over,” wide receivers coach David Beaty said after Thursday’s practice. “As far as preparing them for that game, we’re starting that period now. We had a

little on McNeese today, which was good, and we’ve had some film study all throughout camp on ’em so our kids are familiar with them.”

With the focus shifting from competing for jobs and eyeballing individual improvement to studying the first opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, the flow of practice has changed as well.

“When you get into game prep, you’re not going against your defense all the time,”

If Texas A&M leaves the Big 12, the move could create a shakeup across college sports. In 2010, Texas considered offers to join the Big Ten and the Pac 10 before deciding to stay in the Big 12. Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-12) left the Big 12 in July.

Beebe said the Big 12 board of directors will discuss the letter.

“It remains our strong desire for Texas A&M to continue as a member of the Big 12 and we are working toward that end,” Beebe said in a statement. “However, if it is decided otherwise, the conference is poised to move aggressively with options.”

Please see A&M, page 8B

Beaty said. “Now we’re starting to move into the physical part of it, and today was one of the first major steps toward getting ready for (McNeese State).”

That included taking a detailed look at what the Cowboys do on offense and defense and then setting up practice to plan for every possibility.

Former Orioleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death ruled a suicide

By David Ginsburg Associated Press Sports Writer

BALTIMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Cy Young award winner Mike Flanagan died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head, the Maryland medical examiner ruled Thursday.

A police investigation revealed that the 59-year-old pitcher was upset about financial issues. He left no note.

Flanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body was found Wednesday afternoon about 250 feet behind his home. An investi-

gation showed he was home alone when he took his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very tragic. He was a good friend. I just wished Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d known he was having a struggle,â&#x20AC;? former Orioles player and manager Davey Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d sure liked to have Flanagan talked to him.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a terrible loss. Everybody who knew Flanny loved

him. He was always a delight to be around.â&#x20AC;?

Flanagan won the Cy Young Award in 1979 and helped the Baltimore Orioles win the 1983 World Series. After his retirement, he worked for the Orioles as a coach and in the front office before settling into a job as color commentator on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broadcast network.

Flanagan was scheduled to work this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series against the New York Yankees.

According to police, Alex Flanagan last spoke to her husband about

When Alex Flanagan did not hear from her husband, she called a neighbor to check on him. The neighbor went to the home and called 911 after failing to find him.

Police discovered a body on the property but could not immediately determine the identity because the wounds were so severe.

There was a moment of silence at Yankee Stadium on Thursday before New York faced the Oakland Athletics.

Owner should stick to football, not fashion

Hurricane Irene dampens weekend schedule Hurricane Irene is already leaving its mark on the sports world even before coming ashore.

Professional baseball games, the NFL, tennis matches and MLS games are being rescheduled as the hurricane approaches the East Coast.

Major League Baseball announced Thursday that it has moved Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheduled game between the Florida Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies to Saturday afternoon at 12:05 p.m., creating a day-night doubleheader. The Boston Red Sox also moved Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series finale against the Oakland Athletics to Saturday night as part of a day-night doubleheader.

The Giants and Jets have moved up the starting time of their preseason football game five hours to 1 p.m. Saturday. Giants president and CEO John Mara said Thursday the game was rescheduled so fans would be able to get home safely after the game.

The New Haven Open, the final WTA tuneup before next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Open, moved its championship match at Yale to noon from 4 p.m. Saturday to avoid the storm.

The U.S. Open tennis tournament also was working on contingency plans to try to avoid problems from the hurricane.

Major League Soccer also changed times or dates for three weekend games.

As a general rule, sports team owners should leave the fashion tips to Tim Gunn.

Sure, most of them are well-dressed whenever they step out in public. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also at least twice as old as their players. And as anyone who has seen recent photo of Raiders boss Al Davis knows, what might have been hip when he was a kid wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut it with kids today.

For that reason alone, Panthers owner Jerry Richardson should have known better than to wade across the generational minefield and tell top draft pick and potential franchise savior Cam Newton to stay out of tattoo parlors and keep his hair short. The only thing Richardson accomplished by telling Newton how to look was to make himself look grumpy. .

During an appearance the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charlie Rose Show,â&#x20AC;? the Panthers owner recalled a conversation he had with Newton last spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was dressed perfectly. I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you Newton have any tattoos.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No sir, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you have any piercings?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No sir.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We want to keep it that way.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153; A moment later, the host weighed in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You sound like Lombardi,â&#x20AC;? Rose said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? Richardson demurred, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just sound reasonable to me.â&#x20AC;?

Actually, Richardson sounded exactly like the imperious, 75-year-old multimillionaire businessman that he is. Never mind that scores of players in the league have tattoos, including several of Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular ones, or that more than a few Panther fans are among the 45 million Americans sporting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as youngsters call it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; body art.

Richardson couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fire Newton even if his rookie quarterback arrived at practice the next day painted up like Jeremy Shockey or Steve Smith â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two of Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more colorful body artists. Not unless he was going to unload everyone else with a tattoo.

And considering the long and undistinguished history owners have had imposing dress codes and their mores on players, even Richardson was too smart for that.

In maybe the most unfortunate case, the late Marge Schott once was asked whether any of her Cincinnati Reds ballplayers could wear earrings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Only fruits wear earrings,â&#x20AC;? she replied.

Fortunately, Richardson is not that far out of touch, but exactly why he figures tattoos are bad for his team is anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guess. Attitudes have shifted. The few people from Richardsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generation sporting them likely got them while serving in the military or in prison. But the numbers jump to nearly 30 percent in the generation after his, and nearly 40 percent by the time you drill down into that desirable 18-25 demographic the league is always chasing.

One thing Richardson must have learned, but appears to have forgotten, is that the customer is always right.

COMMENTARY

GOLF

Woodland 5-back at Barclays EDISON, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Harrison Frazar has opened The Barclays with a 7-under 64. All anyone wanted to talk about was Irene.

The PGA Tour playoffs for the FedEx Cup got off a soggy start Thursday at Plainfield.

Not only was there a rain delay of nearly three hours, the focus quickly shifted to how Hurricane Irene will affect the rest of the week.

Tour officials were waiting until today to see how the forecast shapes up before deciding what to do about the rest of the tournament. The notion of a 36-hole Saturday already has been ruled out.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland finished Thursday with a 2-underpar 69.

Former KU golfer at 3-under Former Kansas University golfer Chris Thompson was in action Thursday at the News Sentinel Open at Fox Den Country Club in Farragut, Tenn. Thompson finished the first day of the Open with a 3-under-par 69.

John Mallinger and Sunghoon Kang lead the pack at 9-under-par 63.

Woods added to Cup team SNOQUALMIE, WASH. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fred Couples has told Tiger Woods that he decided to add him to the 12-member Presidents Cup team.

Couples, the Presidents Cup co-captain along with Jay Haas, took the drama out of the debate over whether Woods would be on the team, saying Thursday itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already a done deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve told him that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be on the team,â&#x20AC;? Couples said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no reason for me to wait till Sept. 26 to pick Tiger. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best player in the world forever.â&#x20AC;?

Ten players automatically qualify for the team based on points accumulated over the past two years. Couples is then given two captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picks to round out his squad, which will compete against a team of non-European International players at Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Australia Nov. 14-20.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Pearl reacts to penalties KNOXVILLE, TENN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bruce Pearl says he knows the NCAA made an example out of him, doling out a severe penalty to serve notice to other coaches as to what to expect if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cooperate during an investigation.

The former Tennessee coach will find it nearly impossible to land a college job anytime soon with the three-year showcause penalty given to him by the NCAA for lying to the enforcement staff during their investigation into recruiting violations.

Pearl said Thursday it was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very, very heavy price Pearl for the mistakes that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made,â&#x20AC;? but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to appeal the sanction.

The show-cause penalty prohibits Pearl from recruiting during the next three years, and any school wanting to hire him would have to talk to the NCAA about removing that penalty.

NASCAR

Patrick headed to NASCAR SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Danica Patrick is officially headed to NASCAR. After months of skirting speculation, Patrick announced Thursday that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaving IndyCar in 2012 to run a full Nationwide schedule with JR Motorsports and up to 10 Sprint Cup races for Stewart-Haas Racing.

One of auto racingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most marketable stars, Patrick says she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mapped out which races sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll run in Sprint Cup and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule out a return to open-wheel racing for the 2012 Indianapolis 500.

SOCCER

New faces in, vets out for U.S. CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jurgen Klinsmann isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only German switching to the U.S. menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team.

Fabian Johnson, who started for Germany in the final of the Under-21 European Championship two years ago, switched allegiance to the United States and was among 24 players chosen by Klinsmann on Thursday for exhibitions against Costa Rica and Belgium next month. The midfielder joins right back Timmy Chandler, a German-born defender who made his U.S. debut earlier this year.

While Klinsmann continued his pledge to give new players a look, he bypassed veterans Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones and Ricardo Clark. Freddy Adu wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selected, either. The former phenom recently returned to Major League Soccer and is still adjusting to his new Philadelphia Union team.

NBA

Labor talks to continue soon NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; David Stern wants progress in the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective bargaining talks by Labor Day. He may get his wish.

Officials from the league and playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association will meet again next week, people with knowledge of the plans told the Associated Press on Thursday. It will be only the second session involving leaders from both sides since the lockout started July 1.

With no progress so far, many feel the NBA will lose games to a work stoppage for only the second time in its history.

Ex-Jayhawk Darnell Jackson on ‘L.A. Ink’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball forward Darnell Jackson was featured on the reality TV show “L.A. Ink” Thursday on cable network TLC. In an emotional episode, which at one point brought Jackson to tears, the 6-foot9, 255-pound Sacramento Kings big man had a tattoo of his 16-month-old daughter, Evonna Joie, emblazoned on his upper left chest.

Above the sketch of his baby daughter were the names of Darnell’s late mother, Shawn, and grandmother, Evon.

“Every time I look at my tattoo, I will think of my daughter, my mother and grandmother. My tattoo lets my daughter know I’m not going anywhere. I’m always going to be here ... ’til the end,” Jackson said to conclude the segment.

Jackson’s mom took her own life on March 25, 2010,

after enduring more than a dozen surgeries following a car crash caused by a drunken driver on May 25, 2005, in Las Vegas. That crash claimed the life of Evon, who was a front-seat passenger in the car.

“My grandmother died (following crash), and my mom broke both her arms and legs.

Ever since then, she was on medication and pills for pain, and it was changing her. She was always telling me, ‘I feel like I killed my own mother.’

It was hard for me because I couldn’t tell her, ‘It wasn’t your fault.’ She already made up her mind it was her fault,” Jackson said of Shawn.

“It was an accident. You can’t control that. My mom called me before my daughter was born. She asked me, ‘Are you ready to be a father?’

I was like, ‘Yeah,’’’ Jackson added. “The next morning she overdosed on the pills.”

Darnell said, for a time, he considered suicide in response to his mom’s passing.

“I have moments where I break down every now and

then. I can’t leave my daughter like that,” Darnell said.

“I have to keep going, keep fighting.

“Whenever I’m with my daughter, I always ask her, ‘Where’s my mother?’ She will look over my left shoulder and point to the sky.”

Now the 25-year-old Jackson has all three right under his left shoulder.

“My mom and grandmother used to always tell me, ‘Good things are going to happen to you if you stay positive,’’’ Jackson said. “I can still hear them to this day. I need to make sure every day I wake up that they know I still love them. I’ve finally got my daughter on my chest. It’s going to be there a long time.”

Jackson said on Twitter on Thursday that he plans on “bringing more attention to suicide awareness and prevention.”

Rankings KU’s top recruiting prospects in the high school Class of 2012 dropped a few slots in Rivals.com’s national rankings, released Thursday.

Perry Ellis, a 6-foot-8 senior forward out of Wichita Heights, moved from No. 19 to No. 25. Kaleb Tarczewski, 7-foot senior from St. Mark’s High in Southborough, Mass., dipped from No. 12 to No. 21.

KU already has received a commitment from Zach Peters, a 6-9 senior forward from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, who fell from No. 135 to No. 145.

Some other players who are considering KU and their national rankings: No. 1 Shabazz Muhammad, 6-6, Bishop Gorman High, Las Vegas; No. 13 Archie Goodwin, 6-4, Sylvan Hills High, Little Rock, Ark.; No. 15 Marcus Smart, 6-4, Marcus High, Flower Mound, Texas; No. 16 Danuel House, 6-7, Hightower High, Missouri City, Texas; No. 24 T.J. Warren, 6-7, Brewster Academy, Wolfeboro, N.H.; No. 47 Nino Jackson, 6-2, Ardmore

(Okla.) High. KU is looking at some unranked players including Phil Forte, 5-11, Marcus High, Flower Mound, Texas; Dillon Graham, 6-4, First Academy, Orlando, Fla.; and Christian Sanders, 6-3, St. Thomas High, Houston.

Tip-Off talk ESPN’s Andy Katz gave his take on all the ESPN TipOff Marathon Games in his Thursday blog at ESPN.com.

KU will meet Kentucky as part of the day’s proceedings at 8 p.m., Nov. 15, in New York’s Madison Square Garden: “Why watch?” Katz wrote.

“Just the sound of KentuckyKansas gives college basketball fans chills. The Wildcats have the top newcomers in the country, led by Anthony Davis. But coach John Calipari is confident that Doron Lamb will be the best player on the team. Meanwhile, Kansas isn’t being picked to win a wide-open Big 12, but the Jayhawks still have an immense talent in Thomas Robinson and are not about to fade away anytime soon.”

Legends are …

Kansas University Legends of the Phog game organizers have confirmed the first batch of attendees for the Sept. 24 game in Allen Fieldhouse.

Those indicating they’ll be back are: current NBA players Cole Aldrich (Oklahoma City), Mario Chalmers (Miami), Nick Collison (OKC), Xavier Henry (Memphis ), Darnell Jackson (Sacramento), Marcus Morris (Houston), Markieff Morris (Phoenix), Paul Pierce (Boston). Former NBA players to attend: Greg Ostertag, Scot Pollard, Darnell Valentine.

“Many others will be participating and attending the Legends of the Phog,” said Greg Gurley, director of development of the Williams Fund.

Ticket sales continue today for KU students and the Hall of Fame, Champion and All-American membership levels of the Williams Fund.

All remaining Williams Fund membership levels may order tickets starting Monday.

Kansas volleyball to open season today

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

Most college teams face a big challenge early on: meshing newcomers with the players with college experience.

This feeling-out process can lead to early-season miscues, meaning that the team isn’t playing its best until later in the season.

The same is true with Kansas University volleyball, but since coach Ray Bechard adds just two newcomers to a solid group of 15 returning players, there aren’t many chemistry issues.

Consider, too, that the team took on a 12-day summer training trip to Europe.

The 2011 version of the Kansas volleyball team expects to hit the ground running — starting with today’s game against Florida A&M in the Georgia Bulldog Invitational in Athens, Ga. With all their experience, the Jayhawks might have a leg up on competition still working lots of newcomers into the mix.

“Those two things combined — the number of returning players and the opportunity to train and compete this spring and summer — have really helped us get ahead of the eight-ball a little bit,” Bechard said.

In 2010, the Jayhawks’ season ended on a sour note.

In the last match of the season, Kansas (17-14, 8-10 in the Big 12 Conference) knocked off a ranked Oklahoma team on the road in three straight sets. But the Jayhawks didn’t make the NCAA Tournament and watched as Oklahoma made it to the Sweet 16.

A few more conference victories — Bechard pointed to five-set losses at Colorado, Texas Tech and Kansas State — and the Jayhawks probably would’ve been playing in the postseason.

“There were some matches that we didn’t take care of and we should have,”

Bechard said. “Hopefully we’ve learned from that and adjust to what we need to do in different situations.”

Sophomore middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc said the victory over Oklahoma to end the season doesn’t really give the Jayhawks any kind of motivation heading into this season.

“I think it’s more focusing on us and how strong we are coming back and with our new additions,” Jarmoc said. “We’re all very hopeful and you can feel it in practice. We all have higher expectations, and we push each other more.”

The two newcomers, outside hitters Chelsea Albers

and Sara McClinton, hail from Nebraska, where they were named to the Super-State team.

Bechard, in his 14th year as the head coach, said Albers and McClinton will figure into the rotation immediately.

“They are freshmen, and there’s times where we say, ‘Wow!’ and times when we say, ‘Wow?’” Bechard said.

“Those are two different wows for different reasons.

Hopefully the good wows will take over as we get into this.”

Kansas is set to play Liberty and Georgia on Saturday.

The Jayhawks will first play at home on Sept. 2 in the Jayhawk Invitational.

Beaty has emphasized physical play from the Jayhawks’ wide receivers.

One guy he hasn’t had to sell too hard on the notion is Beshears.

“He’s probably the strongest receiver I’ve ever coached. I mean extremely strong,” Beaty said. “It’s like hitting a brick wall when you touch that kid. I don’t even like slapping hands with him because it hurts.”

Used all over the field during 2010, Beshears has focused most of his attention this fall on playing the X receiver spot, which lines up on the outside and makes plays down the field. Although players his size — 5-foot-9, 185 pounds — are more often seen in the slot, Beaty said Beshears’ mind-set makes him capable of playing outside.

Beshears a brick “He’s a very strong, exSince returning to Kansas plosive kid who practices as after a one-year stint as the hard as anybody I’ve ever offensive coordinator at Rice, had before,” Beaty said.

Beaty also talked up freshman Jacorey Shepherd’s speed and said sophomores Chris Omigie and Christian Matthews had looked solid at times and were in position to contribute this season.

As for the guy who had been the most steady this spring, that was easy.

“There’s a lot of youth at the position, and there’s been a lot of emphasis put on the battles that are going on there, and I think that’s why Daymond might have been lost in the trenches a little,” said Beaty of KU’s top returning receiver.

Last year, Patterson led KU’s wide receivers in receptions (60), yards (487) and touchdowns (2), and this fall his name is the one that appears at the top of KU’s catch chart.

The FSHS cross country teams also had the opportunity to give the crowd a sneak preview to its upcoming seasons, running a mile around the track during halftime of the football scrimmage.

Coach Steve Heffernan said the runners were tickled to be a part of the jamboree.

“Even though it’s on the track and it’s not exactly cross country, I think they have a lot of fun running in front of people, so I think they enjoy it,” Heffernan said.

The boys team is looking to have a repeat appearance in the state meet, and Heffernan feels good about where the team is. The girls team has battled injuries the past two seasons, having eight or nine out of the top 12 runners injured at the end of last season, but Heffernan thinks if the team can stay healthy, it can not only compete at state, but also earn a trophy.

The teams haven’t struggled with injuries yet this season, but they have had to deal with the heat. With cooler

FREE STATE HIGH’S VOLLEYBALL TEAM is introduced during the Fall Sports Jamboree on Thursday at FSHS. temperatures at the jamboree, Heffernan was able to gauge his runners’ ability this season by letting them run at race speed.

“For us, to be honest, this is the first time we’ve allowed

them to run hard just because we didn’t want to take any chances in the heat,” Heffernan said.

Though the Jamboree was more exhibition than actual competition, Lisher

said the athletes still take it seriously.

“It’s just a nice event, lowpressure event but still we want to come out and put on a good product in all the sports,” Lisher said.

York Yankees became the first team in major-league history to hit three grand slams in a game, with Robinson Cano, Russell Martin and Curtis Granderson connecting Thursday in a wet, wild romp over the Athletics.

In nearly a century of storied slugging, the Bronx Bombers never enjoyed a day like this.

On a dreary afternoon, some fans headed home with the Yankees trailing 7-1 after three innings and rain still falling in a game that began after an 89-minute delay.

Turns out they missed the Yankees coming home — over and over and over.

Cano began the barrage with his slam in the fifth off starter Rich Harden, making it 7-6.

Martin connected in the sixth off Fautino De Los Santos (2-1) for a 10-7 lead.

Granderson took his turn in eighth, launching a twoout drive off Bruce Billings.

Martin homered twice and doubled, setting career highs with five hits and six RBIs. Cano drove in five runs as the Yankees pulled off their biggest comeback win since 2006 and avoided a threegame sweep.

New York came to bat a startling 17 times with the bases loaded — Derek Jeter alone got four tries.

He grounded out twice, struck out and walked in those spots.

The Yankees had hit two slams in a game three times, but never at home.

NEW YORK YANKEES’ ROBINSON CANO, RIGHT, CELEBRATES with Alex Rodriguez after Cano hit a grand slam during the fifth inning against the Athletics on Thursday in New York.

Royals 9, Blue Jays 6 TORONTO — Jeff Francis pitched six-plus innings to win for the first time since July 29, and Melky Cabrera homered to lead Kansas City past Toronto.

Billy Butler went 4-for-5 with two RBIs and scored twice as the Royals won their first series since taking two of three against Baltimore from Aug. 2-4. It was Kansas City’s first series victory in Toronto since August 2002.

Butler went 8-for-15 with five extra-base hits to help the Royals win twice in the three-game set.

Francis (5-14) came in 0-3 with an 8.27 ERA in his past four outings but was solid in his first career start in Canada.

Red Sox 6, Rangers 0 ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Adrian Gonzalez homered twice to give him five in four games and Andrew Miller pitched three-hit ball in a spot start as Boston beat Texas again.

The Rangers, who have dropped five of six, held a seven-game lead in the AL West over the Los Angeles Angels on Aug. 17. That margin has shrunk to two entering Friday night’s opener of a three-games series between the teams in Texas.

Making up for lost time Chiefs, Rams alter preseason plans because of lockout

Associated Press NFL Writer

Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — The third preseason game is typically the most important for NFL teams. Starters often play into the second half in their most comprehensive dress rehearsal before the season opener, and then take it easy in their final preseason game to guard against injuries.

This year, the game takes on even more importance.

The lockout resulted in a condensed training camp, forcing coaches to evaluate players on the fly. Suddenly, the third preseason game is the last chance for coaching staffs to get a bead on their guys before the first cuts to get the roster down to 80 players on Aug. 30.

“To judge where we would have been if we had two or three months with these guys working out, you’re When: 7 not going to tonight make it up Where: in three and Arrowhead half weeks,” TV: CBS C h i e f s (chs. 5, 205) coach Todd Haley said as his team prepared for tonight’s game against the crossstate rival St. Louis Rams.

Yes, Haley plans to play his starters more than he has in the Chiefs’ first two preseason games, and Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo plans to put his top guys on the field for at least one series

CHIEFS VS. RAMS

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS QUARTERBACK MATT CASSEL LEADS a team huddle last week during a game against the Ravens in Baltimore. The Chiefs will be using tonight’s preseason game against the Rams to evaluate players after a lockout-shortened training camp. in the second half. But both understand the need to give ample time to the fringe players fighting for the final spots on the roster, those trying to make it as substitute rushers or on special teams.

“It’s better than last year because last year it was 75,” Spagnuolo said of the first round of cuts. “Hopefully, God willing, we’ll stay healthy and make the right kind of decisions.”

There is certainly uneasiness for players trying to stick.

Terrance Copper is among a half dozen receivers trying to earn reps with the Chiefs behind Dwayne Bowe, Steve Breaston, Jerheme Urban and injured first-round pick Jonathan Baldwin.

“It’s always a day-to-day thing,” he said. “You can’t

look too far ahead. That’s the way you have to look at it.

You can’t look too far down the road; you might not be here too far down the road.”

Donald Washington is in the same situation at safety.

The Chiefs figure to keep four or five guys — starters Eric Berry and Kendrick Lewis, and top backup Jon McGraw take up three spots.

That leaves Washington fighting with Sabby Piscitelli, Reshard Langford, Ricky Price and Mario Russell for the final spots.

“It’s very competitive, especially in the secondary,” Washington said. “I feel like everybody can play and everybody can win a spot on this team, so it’s just a battle back there every day. It’s very competitive, not only in the secondary but for the

whole team, which makes us all better.”

Indeed, there are similar position battles all across the depth chart.

“We got 90 guys and we have to cut the roster down,” Lewis said, “so guys are going to go out on the field and try to show the coaches they should be here.”

Kansas City has not looked good in its first two preseason games, an embarrassing shutout loss at home to Tampa Bay and a blowout loss on the road at Baltimore.

Haley has been reluctant to play his starters significant minutes because of the shorter training camp, or even scheme for the opposing team, choosing instead to focus on conditioning, learning the playbook and getting everybody up to speed.

Titans: We’re not looking to trade Johnson

By Teresa M. Walker Associated Press Sports Writer

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Coach Mike Munchak says the Tennessee Titans haven’t talked about trading Chris Johnson and the answer would be no if the star running back asked for such a move.

“We would figure he’s under contract for two years, he’s going to be a Titan and we would hope a longer term than that,” Munchak said Thursday. “But I don’t think that’s anything we would even give any consideration to. He’s with us one way or another, and hopefully it ends up being on the field.”

Johnson and his agent met with Tennessee general manager Mike Reinfeldt in Nashville on Wednesday and then the running back to Orlando.

The running back teased on Twitter that he would update the status of talks between his agent, Joel Segal, and the Titans after his workout. But the three-year veteran later tweeted that he had been advised not to say anything.

NFL considers adding eighth on-field official

TENNESSEE TITANS RUNNING BACK CHRIS JOHNSON RUSHES against the Jacksonville Jaguars last fall. The Titans and Johnson continue to negotiate Johnson’s salary.

“I’ll give everyone update when the time is right,” Johnson tweeted.

The Titans say they want to make him the highest paid running back in NFL history.

Johnson reportedly wants more than $35 million guaranteed and $13 million per year.

Reinfeldt left practice early Thursday and has declined to talk to reporters aside from a

statement Wednesday calling the meeting “beneficial.”

Reinfeldt also said he would talk to Segal in a day or so.

Johnson did not return text messages from The Associated Press. But the three-time Pro Bowler told The Tennessean he and his agent were reviewing what the Titans said and are taking it “one day at a time.”

That could mean Segal is preparing a counteroffer for the Titans.

Time is running out with the Titans opening the season Sept. 11 at Jacksonville.

Javon Ringer, the only running back on the roster who has carried the ball in the regular season, will miss a second straight preseason game Saturday night against Chicago (1-1) due to a sore hip.

Munchak is hoping Ringer will be able to play Sept. 1 in the preseason finale against New Orleans, but rookie Jamie Harper, a fourth-round pick out of Clemson, is set to get his second consecutive start.

NEW YORK — Cover 2 has long been a popular defensive scheme in the NFL. Soon, officiating crews might have their own version.

The NFL is experimenting with an eighth on-field official during a dozen preseason games. A deep judge, stationed in the middle of the field behind the secondary, also was used in eight exhibition games in 2010. There is no timetable for making the position a permanent part of current officiating crews.

Pro football has not added an on-field official since 1978, when the NFL was a runoriented league. Now it has more passing plays than runs, and there is some thought another official would enhance a crew’s ability to call games.

An additional official — there currently are seven on the field and two handling replay in each crew — would need to be approved by ownership.

“Our charge from the commissioner is to innovate,” said NFL officiating director Carl Johnson. “After the 2009 season, we came up with the idea of trying this in the preseason. We’ll take the data we gather and video and input from the coaches and officials and determine if it is effective to help us get better. Will it make us more accurate and be able to call plays better in the passing game, running game, kicking game?”

In the 33 years since onfield crews went to seven — referee, umpire, side judge, field judge, head linesman, back judge and line judge — the speed of the game has increased exponentially. The rulebook also has grown.

With slow motion instant replay, second-guessing of calls has increased, too. The biggest innovation in NFL officiating pretty much has been the coaches’ challenge system.

Last season, there were 361 replay reviews — 252 of them from coaches’ challenges — with 133 total reversals.

The league’s competition

committee will review information from the experiment before determining whether to propose adding a deep judge for all games. Obviously, that would add the cost of another 17 employees, one for each officiating crew.

“Our primary concern is the integrity of the game,” said NFL executive vice president for football operations Ray Anderson, a member of the competition committee.

“If we can determine adding an eight official makes the quality of the game better, we will make the investment to do that.”

Anderson added that making the deep judge permanent “could happen next season,” but nothing is certain at this point.

With an eighth official, the field is divided into quadrants, with the side judge and field judge in similar positions to where cornerbacks would be in a Cover 2 alignment. The back judge and deep judge would set up behind where the safeties play.

Because the back judge and deep judge could handle the deep middle of the field, the side judge and field judge can concentrate on the outside receivers and who is covering them. The head linesman and line judge would have charge of outside line play, mainly tackles and blocking tight ends going against defensive ends and linebackers. The umpire — now stationed in the backfield on most plays, a switch made for safety before the 2010 season — would handle the interior line, freeing the referee to concentrate on the backfield, particularly watching quarterbacks and pass rushers.

For the 12 preseason games using the deep judge, the league has either doubled up assignments for some officials or used ones whose crew was not scheduled to work that weekend. During the season, every crew gets one week off.

Johnson insists “our intent is not for there to be more flags. It is to look at ways to enhance accuracy” in officiating.

QB Pryor agrees to contract with Raiders

By Josh Dubow Associated Press Sports Writer

NAPA, CALIF. — Quarterback Terrelle Pryor agreed to a four-year contract with the Oakland Raiders on Thursday, three days after being picked in the third round of the NFL supplemental draft.

A person familiar with the negotiations confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anoPryor nymity because it had not been announced by the team. ESPN first reported the announcement.

Raiders senior executive John Herrera said Pryor had arrived in the Bay Area and was expected to sign a deal Thursday night.

Pryor can start practic-

ing with Oakland today. The Raiders play their third exhibition game on Sunday against New Orleans and it would be extremely unlikely that Pryor would play. The Raiders then will have three practices before the exhibition finale at Seattle on Sept. 2.

After that game, Pryor will be ineligible to practice with the Raiders until serving a five-game suspension.

When he was allowed to enter Monday’s supplemental draft, Pryor was handed a suspension by Commissioner Roger Goodell for the same number of games he would have sat out had he returned to Ohio State. Pryor has said he will not appeal the suspension.

Pryor gave up his final season with the Buckeyes after an investigation into the team’s memorabilia-for-cash scandal that cost coach Jim Tressel his job.

Pryor is an impressive physical specimen, measuring

6-foot-5 and 232 pounds and being clocked at 4.36 seconds in the 40-yard dash at his pro day last weekend.

Pryor is coming off his best season statistically at Ohio State, throwing for 2,772 yards and 27 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. He ran for 754 yards and four TDs while helping the Buckeyes win the Sugar Bowl.

There has been some speculation that Pryor could eventually play receiver or tight end in the NFL, but

www.bedmartinc.com

Raiders coach Hue Jackson said Monday that Pryor will start off as a quarterback.

Oakland’s starting quarterback is Jason Campbell, now in his second season with the Raiders. Campbell is eligible to be a free agent after the season, as are backups Kyle Boller and Trent Edwards.

The Raiders considered drafting a quarterback to groom for the future in April but did not find the right fit.

Now they have Pryor to fill that role.

Wildcats relish competition

Source: Miami awaiting eligibility decisions CORAL GABLES, FLA. (AP) — Miami’s internal investigation has determined some football players, including quarterback Jacory Harris, are believed to have committed NCAA violations by associating with booster Nevin Shapiro and have been declared ineligible, said a person with knowledge of the process.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because no one is authorized to discuss the ongoing investigations by the university and the NCAA. The person did not divulge how many current players have been linked to Shapiro, a convicted Ponzi scheme architect who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for bilking $930 million from investors.

Simply being declared ineligible now does not necessarily mean a player would miss any time this season.

The Miami Herald, citing an unnamed source, reported that eight players were ineligible.

Under NCAA rules, when a school finds violations have occurred, the athlete typically is declared ineligible and the NCAA begins a reinstatement process. The NCAA will also decide if that player needs to miss any games. And the clock is running: Miami opens the season at Maryland on Sept. 5.

“The school must declare the student-athlete ineligible and then can seek reinstatement,” NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn said.

Earlier Thursday, Miami coach Al Golden suggested that the depth chart may not be announced until Tuesday. All of the players implicated by Shapiro in a story published by Yahoo Sports were practicing Thursday, and have been on the field throughout the process.

“We’ll make sure we practice enough guys because we really don’t know what the future brings,” Golden said. “Hopefully we’ll find out pretty quickly here in the near future if there are any penalties or suspensions, and we’ll adjust accordingly.”

Golden said he has a plan for which personnel to use against the Terrapins. And another plan, just in case.

And, well, another plan, in case things change some more.

“All of the above,” Golden said.

Harris and all other Miami players implicated by claims that Shapiro provided dozens of Hurricanes with extra benefits like cash, cars, gifts and sex for the better part of a decade returned to the practice field Thursday after a brief break for the start of the academic year.

Sean Spence led the Hurricanes in a pre-practice chant that left some onlookers doubled over in laughter. Harris took his spot at the front of a stretching group, a position typically reserved for starters.

Say this for the ‘Canes: They’re trying to carry on some sense of business-asusual.

Golden also said that in what he believes to be accordance with Atlantic Coast Conference policy, the Hurricanes will divulge their depth chart to the Terrapins before releasing anything publicly.

OKLAHOMA STATE COACH MIKE GUNDY GESTURES as he answers a question during a news conference Thursday in Stillwater, Okla. No. 9 Oklahoma State has matched its highest preseason ranking heading into a season filled with high expectations.

No. 9 Cowboys enjoy hype, but want more

By Jeff Latzke AP College Football Writer

STILLWATER, OKLA. — Mike Gundy can appreciate all the compliments directed at No. 9 Oklahoma State after it matched the highest preseason ranking in school history.

When he stops by the store, goes out for dinner or walks around campus, he can gauge the level of interest in his program by the increasing number of people he sees wearing the school colors.

He sees it, too, in seasonticket sales that could break the school record as early as Friday.

“There’s just a lot of excitement and it’s a good time to be here,” Gundy said. “It can’t get any better.”

Then, a few moments later, he corrected himself. After setting a school record with 11 wins last season and bringing home Oklahoma State’s first share of the Big 12 South division title, it still can get better for Gundy at the school where he once was the starting quarterback and now is entering his seventh season as head coach.

“I want to win a championship,” Gundy said.

More than ever, Gundy can see all of the pieces coming together. Quarterback Brandon Weeden and Biletnikoff Award-winning receiver

Justin Blackmon bypassed a shot at the NFL to return for another season, and Gundy considers the group that surrounds them to be the deepest during his time in charge of the Cowboys.

“We’ve had three straight good years and continue to get better players. The facilities continue to get better,” Weeden said. “Everything’s on the up. Nothing’s going down.”

Oklahoma State has yet to see its overall or conference win total decline during Gundy’s tenure. He went 4-7 with just one conference win during his debut season in 2005 and has steadily built a program that finished 11-2 overall and 6-2 in the Big 12 last season.

All-American running back Kendall Hunter and coordinator Dana Holgorsen are the main departures from the offense that finished third in the nation in both scoring and total offense last season, and expectations are running high.

“There’s more people than just me and Weeden,” Blackmon said. “I know that a lot of people talk about that, but there’s way more than just me and Weeden. I think this year a lot of people are going to see, a lot of people are going to be exposed this year and have breakout years.”

Gundy said he believes the

effect of the hype has been up and down since it started around spring practice in April, and “at some point it kind of fizzles out” before returning again. The main challenge he sees for his players is simply to remain focused on football.

“It’s hard to get beyond all the recognition and all the people telling you how good you are in the offseason and those kind of things,” new offensive coordinator Todd Monken said. “But ultimately, that’s over. Come next Saturday night, we’ll make what our season will be this year and last year will be last year.”

A year ago, little was expected after heavy turnover included the departure of first-round NFL draft picks Russell Okung and Dez Bryant plus entrenched starting quarterback Zac Robinson.

But their replacements had Oklahoma State in line to play in the Big 12 championship until losing to Oklahoma in the regular-season finale.

This season, they start out ranked ninth for the second time in the program’s history, and the second time in three years. The 2009 season started with a victory against Georgia and a move up to No. 5 but an upset loss to Houston followed a week later, and OSU finished 9-4.

A&M CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Loftin said last week that he first approached SEC Commissioner Mike Slive on July 21 about Texas A&M’s interest in the SEC. He also said the Aggies would consider what their departure would mean for the future of the Big 12 before making any decisions.

Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne said he supports Loftin’s “desire to explore all options” concerning the future of the university.

“We all want what is best for the Aggies,” Byrne said in a statement released by the school. “I’ve met with all of our head coaches to keep them informed and we all remain excited and optimistic about the future of Texas A&M athletics.”

In the letter, Loftin asked that the conference outline the process Texas A&M should follow if it decides to

Loftin said if the Aggies leave, they would want to do it in a way that complies with league bylaws and supports efforts to seek a new member of the conference. The school would presumably face some kind of exit fee.

Loftin has said financial

consequences will certainly factor into any decision A&M makes about its future.

The Big 12, including Texas A&M, agreed to a 13-year television deal with Fox Sports in April worth more than $1 billion. There is a chance the contract could

LSU WR Shepard suspended, will miss opener BATON ROUGE, LA. (AP) — LSU receiver Russell Shepard has been suspended for the season opener against Oregon on Sept. 3 and is expected to miss a number of games while the university seeks his reinstatement.

LSU, which announced the suspension Thursday, said Shepard violated university and NCAA codes by discussing an NCAA inquiry with a teammate who was sched-

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

uled to be interviewed about the same matter.

The inquiry involves the NCAA’s probe of LSU’s relationship with scouting service owner and purported street agent Willie Lyles, a person familiar with the situation said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because LSU has not announced what the inquiry entailed.

The NCAA has been look-

ing into Lyles’ dealings with a number of college programs, including Oregon.

LSU has acknowledged doing business with Lyles’ Complete Scouting Services, but has said it only purchased videos and notes on junior college and high school prospects, which is permitted by the NCAA. LSU said it paid $6,000 for the materials last December, and has cooperated with the NCAA probe.

Shepard will be allowed to continue practicing with the team while awaiting reinstatement, but it was not clear how many games he would be forced to miss.

The junior was expected to start at wide receiver this season and even participated in a scrimmage on Tuesday, after which coach Les Miles said Shepard was one of the top performing receivers that day.

be voided if the Aggies leave the conference, which could lead to legal issues for Texas A&M and its new league.

Thursday, Loftin reiterated Texas A&M’s reasoning for looking to move conferences.

“Ultimately, we are seeking to generate greater vis-

ibility nationwide for Texas A&M and our championshipcaliber student-athletes, as well as secure the necessary and stable financial resources to support our athletic and academic programs,” Loftin said. “As a public university, Texas A&M owes it to the state’s taxpayers to maximize our assets and generate additional revenues both now and well into the future.”

Some are worried what a departure by A&M would mean for the future of the Aggies’ annual football game against Texas, a rivalry dating back to 1894. Loftin has said he hopes they could continue the game even if Texas A&M leaves the Big 12.

“We would love to see A&M in the conference,” Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds said. “(But) if they feel they have to go, we wish them the very best.”

If the Aggies leave the Big 12, there would be plenty of interest from other schools to fill their spot in the conference. SMU is a school that has publicly expressed interest in joining the Big 12.

ISU safety out for season AMES, IOWA (AP) — Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads says backup safety Earl Brooks is out for the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Brooks, who played in all 12 games last season as a reserve, entered fall camp as the backup to Ter’Ran Benton.

Iowa State also released

its latest depth chart Thursday, which offered few surprises from the one the Cyclones opened camp with earlier this month.

One of the biggest changes is that freshman C.J. Morgan and sophomore Deon Broomfield are listed as co-starters at linebacker.

Morgan and Broomfield had been listed as safeties.

Dear Annie: How do we deal with our sister “Michelle” who says and emails hurtful things to each of us at the most inopportune times?

I have three other sisters.

“Debbie” called me this evening in tears. She recently spent a week in the hospital after surgery on her leg. She’s now in a rehabilitation facility and still has a long recovery ahead of her. Since we live many hours away, she has been keeping us updated via email.

Today, Debbie received a terse note from Michelle, saying she did not want to receive any more of these group emails. There was no acknowledgement of the tough time Debbie has been going through. I was not surprised. Michelle did a similar thing to me when I underwent cancer treatment several years ago. It seems she likes to kick us when we are down.

We find Michelle’s behavior heartbreaking and difficult to accept. Why does she push us away? Every time we reach out or try to include her in a discussion or even voice an opinion, we get slammed or completely ignored. She cannot sympathize and is becoming more and more distant as time goes on.

Some 9/11 charities failed miserably Records: Some groups didn’t account for how money was spent

By Brett J. Blackledge and David B. Caruso Associated Press Sergey Ponomarev/AP Photo

A DAMAGED ELECTRIC GOLF CART IS JAMMED against the wall of a tunnel in the bunker of the main Moammar Gadhafi compound Thursday in Bab Al-Aziziya in Tripoli, Libya.

Hidden tunnels, bunkers lie under Gadhafi compound

By Ben Hubbard Associated Press

TRIPOLI, LIBYA — Beneath the grassy courtyard of Moammar Gadhafi’s private compound, long tunnels connect bunkers, command centers and spiral staircases that lead to a luxurious home filled with Gadhafi family photos.

The electric lights are out and the banks of telephones have gone dead.

When rebels took over the compound Tuesday, they discovered what had long been rumored: An elaborate secret underground network.

Outsiders had never seen the tunnels beneath the Bab al-Aziziya compound. Many Libyans assume that underground passages connect all of Tripoli — which they say explains Gadhafi’s ability to appear for speeches in places where no one saw him arrive.

Some guess he fled the city through one of the tunnels as the rebels swept into Tripoli, though because of damage from NATO bombing, it was not possible to determine if the tunnels actually extend outside of Bab al-Aziziya.

After overrunning the compound, long seen as the symbolic heart of Gadhafi’s rule, the rebels set alight his family home, seized huge numbers of weapons and turned the complex into a staging ground for fighting elsewhere in the capital.

They also discovered the underground network beneath it, a web of tunnels whose reach is still unclear.

“There’s a Tripoli above ground and a Tripoli underground,” said rebel fighter Ismail Dola, 26, exploring the tunnels with friends.

But few rebels were surprised that Gadhafi, who ruled for four decades and survived multiple assassination attempts, would have a secret world where he could escape.

“It’s normal that someone like Moammar would do this to protect himself,” said rebel Riad Gneidi, walking curiously through the tunnels with an assault rifle over his shoulder. “Any dictator has

Rice photo album found TRIPOLI, LIBYA — Libyan rebels who took control of Moammar Gadhafi’s sprawling compound made a surprising discovery in one of the buildings: a photo album with pictures of Condoleezza Rice.

Though maybe the discovery isn’t that surprising. Over the years, the Libyan leader’s comments and actions related to the former secretary of state have raised a few eyebrows.

Consider how he talked about her in an interview with Al-Jazeera television in 2007, where he hinted that then-President George W. Bush’s top diplomat wielded considerable influence in the Arab world.

“I support my darling black African woman,” he said. “I admire and am very proud of the way she leans back and gives orders to the Arab leaders. ...

Leezza, Leezza, Leezza. ... I love her very much. I admire her, and I’m proud of her, because she’s a black woman of African origin.” to have a way to protect himself and to escape in times like these.”

The Bab al-Aziziya compound had always been a mystery to most Libyans.

Though it is one of the city’s largest landmarks, no streets signs indicate where it is.

Few ever entered, and many Tripoli residents said they wouldn’t even walk nearby, fearing security guards on the compound’s high green walls would get suspicious and arrest or shoot them.

Four days after the rebels arrived in the capital, Gadhafi’s whereabouts remain a mystery. His spokesman, in a Thursday phone call to the AP, insists he still commands resistance to the rebels — a claim that strains credulity, given the breakdown of the regime’s communications networks after months of NATO bombings. Gadhafi himself has released two audio messages urging his followers to fight “until victory or martyrdom.”

NEW YORK — Americans eager to give after the 9/11 terrorist attacks poured $1.5 billion into hundreds of charities established to serve the victims, their families and their memories. But a decade later, an Associated Press investigation shows that many of those nonprofits have failed miserably.

There are those that spent huge sums on themselves, those that cannot account for the money they received, those that have few results to show for their spending and those that have yet to file required income tax returns.

Yet many of the charities continue to raise money in the name of Sept. 11.

One charity raised more than $700,000 for a giant memorial quilt, but there is no quilt. Another raised more than $4 million to help victims, but didn’t account publicly for how it spent all of the money. A third helps support a 9/11 flag sold by the founder’s for-profit company.

There are other charities that can account for practically every penny raised — except that all the money went to pay for fundraising, and not the intended mission.

To be sure, most of the 325 charities identified by the AP followed the rules, accounted fully for their expenditures and closed after fulfilling identified goals.

There have been charities to assist ill and dying first responders, to help families of the dead, to help survivors and to honor the memory of victims. And there are charities that revolve around the flag, patriotism, motorcycle rallies and memorials of all sizes and shapes.

But in virtually every category of 9/11 nonprofit, an AP analysis of tax documents and other official records uncovered schemes beset with

AMERICAN QUILT MEMORIAL ORGANIZER KEVIN HELD HOLDS UP a photo of several quilts next to members of the Philadelphia Police Department as they display a section of quilt Sept. 11, 2007, in Philadelphia. Held formed Stage 1 Productions in 2003 to promote the American Quilt Memorial honoring the lives lost on Sept. 11. He said thousands of individual pieces would be crafted together on white king-sized sheets that, when sewn together, would stretch 1 1/2 miles across an eight-lane highway. That never happened. The $713,000 that Held raised from students, school fundraising campaigns, T-shirt sales and other donations is gone.

More than $270,000 of that went to Held and family members, records show. shady dealings, questionable expenses and dubious intentions. Many of those still raising money are small, founded by people with no experience running a nonprofit. !" The Arizona-based charity that raised $713,000 for a 9/11 memorial quilt promised it would be big enough to cover 25 football fields, but there are only several hundred decorated sheets packed in boxes at a storage unit.

One-third of the money raised went to the charity’s founder and relatives, according to tax records and interviews. The chairman of the board, an 84-year-old Roman Catholic priest, says he didn’t know he was chairman and thought that only small amounts of money had been raised. He says he was unaware that the founder had given himself a $200 per week car allowance, rent reimbursement and a $45,000 payment for an unreported loan. !" There’s a charity for a 9/11 Garden of Forgiveness at the World Trade Center site — only there’s no Garden of Forgiveness. The Rev. Lyndon Harris, who founded the Sacred City nonprofit in

2005, spent the months following 9/11 at ground zero helping victims, relatives and first responders. He said he formed the charity to fulfill “our sacred oath” to build the garden. Tax records show the charity has raised $200,000, and that the Episcopal priest paid himself $126,530 in salary and used another $3,562 for dining expenses between 2005 and 2007.

Harris said he sees his charity’s work as a success even if there is no garden at the site. “I saw our mission as teaching about forgiveness,” he said. !" Another Manhattan 9/11 charity, Urban Life Ministries, raised more than $4 million to help victims and first responders. But the group only accounted for about $670,000 on its tax forms.

Along with almost four dozen other 9/11 charities, Urban Life lost its IRS tax-exempt status this year because it failed to show how money was collected and spent. !"The Flag of Honor Fund, a Connecticut charity, raised nearly $140,000 to promote a memorial flag honoring 9/11 victims. The flag, which con-

tains the name of every person killed on Sept. 11, 2001, is on sale today at Walmart and other retail stores. But only a tiny fraction of the money from those sales goes to 9/11 charities, with most going to retail stores, the flag maker and a for-profit business — run by the man who created the flag charity.

The AP examined charities that received tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service by promising to serve victims of the 9/11 tragedy, build memorials or do other charitable works in honor of the dead. The charities were identified using data maintained by Guidestar, a private database of nonprofits that the IRS recommends.

The $1.5 billion donated to these charities was in addition to the billions spent by Congress and states and established nonprofits like the Red Cross.

Most of the 9/11 charities fulfilled their missions, but the AP analysis found dozens that struggled, fell short of their promises or did more to help their founders than those affected by the terrorist attacks.

Grandparents play a bigger role in child-rearing

By Hope Yen Associated Press

WASHINGTON — America is swiftly becoming a granny state.

Less frail and more involved, today’s grandparents are shunning retirement homes and stepping in more than ever to raise grandchildren while young adults struggle in the poor economy.

The newer grandparents are mainly baby boomers who are still working, with greater disposable income.

Now making up 1 in 4 adults, grandparents are growing at twice the rate of the overall population and sticking close to family — if their grandkids aren’t already living with them.

Grandparents in recent decades have often filled in for absent parents who were ill or battled addiction, or were sent to prison. The latest trend of grandparent involvement, reflected in census figures released Thursday, is now being driven also by the economy and the graying U.S. population, including

the 78 million boomers born between 1946 and 1964 who began turning 65 this year.

“Grandparents have become the family safety net, and I don’t see that changing any time soon,” said Amy Goyer, a family expert at AARP. “While they will continue to enjoy their traditional roles, including spending on gifts for grandchildren, I see them increasingly paying for the extras that parents are struggling to keep up with — sports, camps, tutoring or other educational needs, such as music lessons.”

The latest numbers are based partly on separate analyses by Goyer and Peter Francese, founder of American Demographics magazine who is now a population analyst for the MetLife Mature Market Institute.

Their data were supplemented with the latest 2010 census figures as well as interviews with Census Bureau and other experts.

In all, there are 62.8 million grandparents in the U.S., the most ever. They are projected to make up roughly 1 in 3 adults by 2020.

Apple’s magic enthralled Main Street, Wall Street over past decade APPLE CEO STEVE JOBS HOLDS the new iPhone 4 during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference on June 7, 2010, in San Francisco.

Apple Inc. on Wednesday said Jobs is resigning as CEO, effective AP File Photo immediately.

SAN FRANCISCO — It’s easy to forget now, but Apple’s magnetism was once confined to a cult-like following of geeks seduced by the elegance and simplicity of the company’s computers.

Over the past decade, though, Apple has emerged as a trendsetter and a wealthmaking machine — the rare company that appeals to the cool cats hanging out in hip cafes and the fat cats looking to make another killing on Wall Street.

In the process, Apple has left an indelible mark that extends far beyond that first personal computer Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak introduced 35 years ago. Since then, Apple has transformed the music, retailing, marketing and cellphone industries. Now, it’s engineering yet another evolution in computing with the increasingly popular iPad tablet.

Those achievements have endeared Apple to the masses, turning its product announcements into the technology industry’s latter-day version of a Beatles concert and turning its

familiar logo into an emblem of exquisite taste.

Part visionary, showman and uncompromising taskmaster, Jobs assembled a team that had an incredible knack for anticipating consumer trends and popularizing them by designing devices that were easy — and delightful — to use. Apple didn’t invent music players, smartphones or tablet computers, but under Jobs’ leadership, the company convinced the masses that the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad were breakthroughs that they couldn’t live without.

It seemed as if the second coming of Walt Disney and the rest of the “imagineers”

who built Disneyland during the mid-1950s had come to Silicon Valley to lead the way into the 21st century.

In the past decade, Apple’s gadgets have transformed society, enabling people to bring along their favorite music, books, videos and websites almost everywhere they go. In the process they inspired countless imitators and ensured that Jobs, who resigned Wednesday, will be remembered as one of the most successful CEOs in American history.

None of it would have happened if Jobs hadn’t returned to Apple in 1997 after being pushed out of the company in the mid-1980s by John Scul-

ley, a CEO that Jobs had lured away from Pepsico Inc. by asking, “Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?”

Jobs never left any doubt he intended to be a game changer from the time he and Wozniak, a high school buddy, planted Apple in a Silicon Valley garage. With the introduction of the Apple II — the first personal computer to display color graphics —Jobs provided a glimpse of how he would go on to put the “i’’ into personal technology and change people’s lives.

The innovations kept coming as long as Jobs was at Apple (there was a 12-year exile after the falling out with Sculley).

The Mac computer brought a graphical interface that could be clicked with a mouse. The iPod enabled anyone to carry around a library of music in their pocket. The iPhone changed the concept of mobile computing and popularized the catchphrase “there’s an app for that.” Most recently, the iPad is making the PC look antiquated as it creates more

convenient ways to read, watch movies, play games and fetch information from the Internet.

Jobs’ wizardry rescued a company on the precipice of bankruptcy and elevated it into the second most valuable business in America. It now has a market value of nearly $350 billion, behind only Exxon Mobil Corp. — a company whose fortunes are tied to wildly fluctuating oil prices rather than the beauty of a good idea.

Anyone who had the foresight to dip into their retirement accounts to buy $100,000 worth of Apple stock on the day Jobs became the company’s CEO in September 1997 would be set for life: That investment would be worth more than $6.8 million now. When he took the job, Jobs foreshadowed the marketing hook for a new product line by calling himself “iCEO” to reflect his initial role as Apple’s interim leader.

The last test of Jobs’ genius may come as he tries to pass on his magical touch to his successor. He believes he has found the right guy in

Tim Cook, with whom he has worked closely since 1998.

The collaboration doesn’t necessarily have to stop because Jobs will still hold an influential role as Apple’s chairman.

By all accounts, Cook is a top-notch executive who has proven that he knows how to pull the levers of Apple’s mystique. He has run the company during Jobs’ three leaves of absence since 2004.

He was the one responsible for tuning Apple’s manufacturing process to solve chronic product delays and supply problems prevalent when he joined the company in 1998.

Still, it’s hard not to shake the feeling that this may be the beginning of the end of an era — both for technological zealots trying to figure out when the iPhone 5 is coming out and nervous investors wondering whether to buy or sell the company’s stock.

“Oh my goodness, I was terribly shocked!” said Chris Perez, 32, as he stood outside an Apple store in north Phoenix on Wednesday night. “He was the man that came up with everything ‘i.’”
