TOPEKA — Kansas may again seek a waiver to the No Child Left Behind law now that President Barack Obama announced Friday that he would give states more freedoms in complying with the law.

The decision on whether to seek a waiver would have to be made by the State Board of Education.

Given previous discussion by board members on NCLB, it will likely get “serious consideration,” said Kansas Department of Education spokeswoman Kathy Toelkes.

Obama said he would drop the requirement that all students must earn a proficient score on tests for reading and

A TRUCK DRIVES DOWN A LONG AND EMPTY STRETCH of the new U.S. Highway 59 construction project Friday after dropping off a load of gravel south of North 650 Road.

Crews plan to begin laying concrete during the first week of October as the project moves toward completion by the end of next year.

Highway paving operations to begin in two sections

Facebook.com/LJWorld Twitter.com/LJWorld

The new U.S. Highway 59 south of Lawrence — already a two-part project — is set to be split in two yet again.

More than a year after the highway’s four-lane section opened to traffic in Franklin County, contractors are preparing to start paving the portion in Douglas County.

“We’ll start making progress,” said Jason Van Nice, the Kansas Department of Transportation’s construction manager on the project. “It’ll look like

a real road. We’ve got a nice four-lane dirt highway right now.”

With excavation and site preparation nearly complete, attention will turn to paving operations split into two sections: ! From the county line north to a new interchange at North 650 Road, crews will pour 23,640 cubic yards of concrete into a layer 8.5 inches thick. The first of more than 2,300 mixer trucks will start arriving on site during the first week of October. ! North of there, connecting the new interchange with the existing

four-lane portion of U.S. 59 just south of Lawrence, crews will spread 79,100 tons of asphalt into a path 12 inches thick. That work is not expected to begin until spring.

The switch from concrete to asphalt is intended to help the new highway endure as it passes over Pleasant Grove Hill, a shifting mound of soil that already delayed the massive construction project 12 months so that the exposed earth could settle.

TOPEKA — “Obamacare was not popular in Kansas,” Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer told legislators last week in explaining various reasons why Gov. Sam Brownback rejected a $31.5 million federal grant to set up a system required by the Affordable Care Act. That could be the understatement of the year as far as the Kansas Legislature and Brownback go.

As a U.S. senator, Brownback, a Republican, voted against the ACA that was signed into law by Presi-

dent Barack Obama.

As a candidate for governor, Brownback argued for its repeal.

And as governor, he has pushed for a legal challenge of the reform law, signed legislation Brownback passed by the Legislature aimed at neutralizing it in Kansas and has now moved administratively against it.

Many Republicans in the Legislature say they hope for the end of the

ACA either through a U.S. Supreme Court decision or a GOP victory in the next year’s presidential election.

State Rep. Peggy Mast, R-Emporia, said, “It was a political decision to pass” the law, and she said a political decision may kill it, noting next year’s congressional and presidential elections.

The $31.5 million “early innovator” grant rejected by Brownback was for Kansas to implement a health insurance exchange. Under the ACA, the exchanges are to be used by individuals and small businesses to shop for health insurance.

The exchanges are required to be in place by 2014, and the grant would have allowed Kansas to develop the model that could have been used by other states.

Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger said many who oppose the ACA — on both the right and left — hope it will fail and see “anything done to facilitate (the law) could undermine the lawsuits.”

But Praeger, a Republican, and many Democrats say the ACA is the law of the land and planning should Please see HEALTH, page 2A

Praeger has refuted the administration’s claims in turning down the grant.

Brownback and Colyer have said there were too many strings attached to the grant. But Praeger said the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has accommodated states, asking them to come forward with ideas and recommendations.

Colyer also said that the exchange would be determining whether end-of-life treatments were too costly.

The highway should be finished and open for traffic by the end of 2012, adhering to a revised timeline set when soil complications at Pleasant Grove spurred plan revisions.

With concrete down and asphalt in place, crews will turn their attention to signs and lane markings and other details before drivers can start taking advantage of the new U.S. 59’s four lanes, freeway interchanges, roadside shoulders and other safety improvements.

or refusing to hire individuals who present themselves as a gender that is different than their birth — an employee who was born as a man but now lives as a woman, for example. The code also does nothing to stop a landlord from refusing to rent to individuals who are transgender, and it does not prohibit a merchant or health care provider from refusing service to transgender individuals. The proposed code — it is a draft and commissioners can change it — would make such discrimination illegal in the city, said Toni Wheeler, city director of legal services.

Is such discrimination happening in Lawrence?

Specific statistics for Lawrence aren’t kept, but Stephanie Mott, executive director of the Kansas State Transgender Education Project, said national statistics suggest that such discrimination likely is occurring in Lawrence. A survey of nearly 6,500 transgender individuals across the country found 19 percent have been denied basic medical care. Scott Criqui, chairman of the city’s Human Relations Commission, said he has anecdotal evidence that such discrimination has taken place in Lawrence. He said a transgender friend was denied medical care in Lawrence three times before leaving the community for another doctor.

What does this proposed ordinance say?

The city has an existing ordinance that makes it illegal to discriminate against people by reason of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, age, ancestry, familial status and sexual orientation. The proposed ordinance adds the term “gender identity” to that list. It also provides a definition of gender identity. It is: “the gender-related identity, appearance, behavior, and other characteristics of an individual, as perceived by the individual or another, and without regard to the individual’s actual or assigned sex at birth.”

Using that definition, what criteria must be met before someone is considered transgender under this law?

Wheeler said a key determination is how people identify themselves. If an individual who was biologically born a man, for example, “identifies as female by identity, appearance, behavior and other characteristics,” the person would receive the protections under this law, — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be Wheeler said.

If the law does go away, we still have a dysfunctional health insurance system that we have to fix.”

While polls indicate the public is divided on the Affordable Care Act, supporters of the law say most people agree with its various components, such as prohibitions on pre-existing condition exclusions for children, extended access to insurance for young adults and prohibitions on lifetime dollar limits in health plans.

Despite Brownback’s rejection of the grant, Praeger continues to do the planning work for the exchange. But when asked if she was trying to do an end-run around the Legislature to install a health insurance exchange, she said, “That would be impossible and I wouldn’t want to do it anyway.”

Board of Education, anticipating that the federal U.S. Department of Education would start granting waivers, discussed applying again.

There seemed to be consensus that it might be a good idea as some board members said the proficiency goals were unfair.

State Board of Education Chairman David Dennis, a Republican from Wichita, said a high school in Wichita was making great strides in

improving reading and math test scores, but, because a small subgroup was struggling, the entire school was labeled as having failed.

“Does that make any sense whatsoever?” he asked.

The board may take up the issue of whether to seek a waiver at its next monthly meeting, scheduled for Oct. 11-12.

1 | NEW YORK CITY

Iran interested in more reactors Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Friday that Tehran is talking to Russia about building additional nuclear power reactors.

He also invited other countries and companies to bid to build new nuclear power plants.

The $1 billion Bushehr reactor was built by the Russian company Atomstroyexport and commissioned in a ceremony on Sept. 13. Ahmadinejad Ahmadinejad said Iran needs an additional 19,000 megawatts of energy beyond the 1,000 now coming from Bushehr.

2 | YEMEN

President’s return spurs fear President Ali Abdullah Saleh abruptly returned home to Yemen on Friday after more than three months of being treated in Saudi Arabia for wounds from an assassination attempt, in a move apparently aimed to ensure his grip as his loyalists and opponents wage urban warfare in the capital.

Hours after his return, fighting intensified as government forces in armored vehicles closed in on the thousands of opposition activists in the capital’s main protest camp, which had already been under heavy bombardment by mortar shells throughout the day.

The bloodshed reinforced fears that Saleh’s return signaled an escalation of fighting into a full-fledged attempt to crush his rivals.

The White House was blindsided by the sudden return. U.S. officials conceded it was a surprise and said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton wasn’t warned of Saleh’s plans when she met Tuesday in New York with the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia, which has been working with Washington and Yemen to try to arrange a transfer of power.

The return could be a significant blow to those attempts. A degree of stability in the strategic but impoverished Arab nation is a priority for the United States, which wants a partner to continue the fight against one of al-Qaida’s most active branches, based in Yemen and accused of plotting attacks in the U.S.

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Running has given Carrie Vincent a new outlook on life.

The 37-year-old is an inmate at Topeka Correctional Facility and is serving a life sentence for felony murder.

In June 2010, she joined the prison’s Running Free club after hearing about the benefits from her cell mate.

“It has helped with depression. It has definitely kept me focused on something positive,” she said.

The idea for Running Free started when runners Carol Hill and Suzanne MacDonald, who volunteered with different book clubs in the prison, met for lunch. They knew that running helped them physically and emotionally and wondered if it would do the same for the inmates.

“It felt like a crazy idea to us,” said Hill, of Topeka. “But we thought it would be cool if we could share that with women out here and create the same sort of feeling.”

They took the idea to prison officials, who weren’t as enthusiastic. Hill said there were tight restrictions on what inmates could do, and running wasn’t allowed, so it took a lot of convincing, but eventually they received the green light

Hearings set for pipeline project

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Several of Kansas’ largest environmental groups plan to protest the massive and controversial Keystone XL Pipeline project when they rally outside of a public hearing in Topeka on Monday.

Next week, the U.S. State Department will hold public hearings in eight cities stretching from Montana to Texas on TransCanada’s proposed 1,700-mile, $7 billion pipeline project.

The pipeline will more than double the amount of crude oil being transported from the oil sand fields of Canada to the refineries on the Gulf Coast.

Part of that massive pipeline already runs through Kansas, but it hasn’t been built in other states.

SATURDAY COLUMN

Family-owned businesses a special asset for community

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

This week, the Journal-World reported on its LJWorld.com website that the Pine family was selling the highly successful sod business it operates north of Lawrence to a Wichita-based company.

A member of the Pine family noted that this will be the first time since about the late 1860s that members of the family have not been actively engaged in growing a crop in the Kansas River Valley.

Members of the Pine family gave up traditional crop farming several years ago to focus on the sod business, which now has been sold.

The Pines, along with other longtime area farm families, such as the Hecks, Florys, Vogels, Nunemakers and others, have added greatly to this area. They have been actively engaged and have contributed in many ways to making this area better, and it is hoped members of the Pine family will continue to be involved in the community.

The sale of the sod business by a family that has been in farming for approximately 150 years calls attention to a disturbing trend: Lawrence is losing too many family-owned businesses.

Granted, times change, business conditions change, and it is wrong

to live in the past. Nevertheless, a great deal of the good things current residents enjoy about Lawrence and the surrounding area are due to the vision, hard work and commitment to Lawrence by past business leaders — businessmen and -women who owned and operated their own stores and could make commitments and fiscal contributions to local projects, support entrepreneurial efforts and be involved in a wide range of local projects and programs.

In a growing number of cases, those managing local businesses now have to check with their regional or national offices to find out what they can or cannot do, how active they can become in local matters and how much money they can contribute to local efforts.

This is understandable for companies owned by major corporations with hundreds or thousands of stores scattered around the country. Such corporations cannot have each store or outlet operating however the local manager wishes.

Lawrence needs to figure out some way to attract more men and women who want to own and operate stores of all sizes in Lawrence.

Recent reports make it clear Lawrence is not holding or attracting as high a percentage of retail sales as other cities of similar size. A city

the size of Lawrence, the home of a major university, should generate far more retail business than it does. Perhaps this is the result of a combination of factors: the nearness of Kansas City and its many shopping centers, the massive Legends retail and sports complex only

COMMENTARY a few miles east of Lawrence and the retail outlets in Topeka, only 25 miles to the west. The ability to shop online also is a factor.

Could it also be that individuals who have wanted to move to Lawrence to buy or start a business have found it difficult, for various reasons, to start their dream operation? Maybe it’s because there are not enough major employers in Lawrence to provide greater numbers of employees who would generate considerable new retail sales and feed additional shopping opportunities.

Whatever the reason, Lawrence seems to be falling behind in the retail sales battle and the taxes generated by such sales.

Not too many years ago, Lawrence was the envy of those living in other parts of the state, as well as surrounding states. Starting in

the post-World War II years, in the 1950s and until the 1980s or perhaps the early ’90s, Lawrence was a leader in most every important category: population growth, new business activity, excitement and enthusiasm surrounding Kansas University, a great “town-gown” relationship, a forward-looking city government (maybe this started to fall apart in the ’80s) and attracting new industry. Young people, including many former KU students, wanted to come back to Lawrence to buy or start a business.

However, something happened.

Either Lawrence wasn’t as attractive, or other cities became more competitive.

This isn’t to suggest that more family-owned and operated businesses alone would bring positive changes and reverse the city’s slowed population growth, its stagnant retail sales and its lack of excitement and enthusiasm within the business community, but more local ownership would make a difference in the degree of commitment and concern that retails have about the direction of the city.

Also, it would be helpful if KU, whether it be university faculty members, the administration or some combination of KU people, would take greater interest in what they could do to help the city. The

university is a tremendous asset in many ways; one example is the expertise within the talented KU faculty that could be used to try to help make Lawrence a better, stronger and more attractive spot for business and clean, research-based facilities that would provide employment opportunities for a wide range of skilled workers.

Some way or another, Lawrence needs a kick start to get the city and its residents back to the friendly environment that once made it such a special place.

Again, just increasing local business ownership won’t bring about a sea change in the mood and attitude of the community, but the city and the surrounding area will be weakened with fewer and fewer locally owned and operated businesses.

The competition between individual cities and states for population and retail growth is intense, just as is the competition among universities to attract top students, superior faculty members and dollars to operate the schools.

Lawrence cannot afford to fall behind. It has lost some of the great momentum it once enjoyed, and some way must be found for the city and the university to join forces to regain the positive attitude and vision that once was a hallmark of both Lawrence and KU.

overseen by the U.S. State Department. Part of that process includes taking public comments.

Monday’s hearings will be from noon to 3 p.m. and then from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Kansas Expocentre, 1 Expocentre Drive, Topeka.

Outside of the Expocentre, protesters plan to hold a rally at 3:30 p.m. Among those opposing the pipeline are the National Wildlife Federation, Sierra Club, Great Plains Alliance for Clean Energy, Kansas Young Democrats, CREDO and Kansas Interfaith Power and Light.

Extracting oil from tars sand is among the dirtiest forms of energy, said Kendall Mackey, a grass-roots organizer for the National Wildlife Federation. Groups such as the National Wildlife Federation would like for the oil to be replaced with clean energy sources.

They also have concerns that once it reaches the refineries in the Gulf Coast, the oil will be shipped overseas and that TransCanada has a poor track record regarding oil spills.

“This is a national issue focused around America’s dependence on foreign oil,” Mackey said.

Monday’s rally will be an opportunity for those who want to speak outside the hearing, whether it be through words or signs.

Inside the hearing room, those signs will be forbidden. Those interested in speaking will sign up at the door. Each speaker should have three to five minutes

to speak, but that could change if there are a large number of people who wish to talk.

All hearings are chaired by a senior official from the state department, who will explain the status of the permit and the department’s process for making a decision. The presiding officer will not answer questions.

For those who don’t wish to speak, comments can be submitted in writing.

Regardless of the state department’s decision, the pipeline in Kansas won’t change, but two pumping stations could be built.

Last summer, TransCanada laid p i p e l i n e through Kansas to connect Steele City, Neb., with Cushing, Okla.

That pipeline travels through Washington, Clay, Dickinson, Marion, Butler and Cowley counties.

The current approval process is for two expansion projects. One starts in Hardisty, Alberta, Canada, and travels through Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska.

Another phase would take oil from Oklahoma south to Texas. The pipeline that already runs through Kansas would connect those two projects.

Representatives for TransCanada have said that the company is going above and beyond what is required for safety and integrity. They also noted that Canada has far more stringent environmental regulations than other foreign countries suppling the U.S. with oil, such as Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.

in the summer of 2007.

Then they were nervous about how many women might show up for the first run. What if no one was interested?

When about 75 women showed up, they were overwhelmed.

“A lot of them never even owned a pair of tennis shoes, so it was a big deal, and a lot of them had led very sedentary, kind of self-destructive lifestyles — a lot of drug addiction, a lot of just basic unhealthy existence. So we celebrated when they ran a half a lap,” Hill said.

The women trained to complete a 5K, or 3.1-mile, race for breast cancer research and programs. Twenty-five women participated and raised $2,000 through race registration fees. It was the first race held by Running Free, which is believed to be the country’s only all-women prison running club.

Hill said the beauty of the running program is that it’s a volunteer program and involves no tax dollars. The program receives gently used running shoes through community donations, and the inmates have to earn them.

“It’s really blossomed into something we never, ever dreamed it would,” Hill said.

Since that first race, members of Running Free have completed 5K, 10K, half-marathon and marathon races at the prison in southeast Topeka. They’ve held 17 races and raised more than $35,000 for charities, including the Battered Women’s Task Force, Kansas Specialty Dog Services and Helping Hands Humane Shelter.

LAURA KREISLER, 55, IS PART OF AN INMATE RUNNING GROUP called Running Free at the Topeka Correctional Facility. It is having 5K and 10K races Sunday to benefit the Northeast Kansas Parkinson Association’s support group. During a one-on-one interview Friday at the facility, Kreisler, who is serving a sentence for embezzlement, talked about her diagnosis of Parkinson’s and how running has helped her condition. She plans to run her first 10K in Sunday’s event.

Only 30 maximum-security inmates can participate in the program, and there’s a waiting list of about 100. They train on a small, beaten-up track that takes 16 loops to make a mile, and they are not allowed to talk to other inmates or rest; they have to keep moving.

“It’s a real coveted honor over there to participate in the program,” Hill said.

The minimum-security inmates train on a half-mile loop, and they can talk to each other. The inmates say they help lift one another up.

“It just makes you feel good to come out here and have a place to actually run, and it’s definitely a different environment than down on the compound,” Vincent said. “We know that we are all here for the right reasons.”

On Sunday morning, at least 30 prisoners will be participating in a 5K or 10K race that will benefit the Northeast Kansas Parkinson Association’s support group.

It’s a cause that running club members care deeply about

“I had some real health issues,” she said. “I didn’t do anything much but manage day to day.”

She decided she needed to turn her health around and started lifting weights and walking, and then the pounds started coming off and she eliminated the need for blood-pressure medicine.

She remembers running her first lap around the gym. She knew 20 laps would equal a mile and she wanted to be able to run 10 laps before heading outside with the other inmates.

Since then, she has lost 125 pounds and has participated in several 5K races. She is looking forward to doing her first 10K race Sunday.

“I can’t even describe the difference in how I am and how I was,” she said. “The running has really improved me immensely. It’s almost unbelievable how much better I feel.”

The registration fee is $23 for Sunday’s race, and she earns $1.05 a day in the prison by working as a chaplain’s clerk. She said it’s well worth it.

“Everybody tells me how remarkable I am, but the truth is that there are a lot of remarkable people here.

They just need to believe in themselves,” she said.

— fellow inmate Laura Kreisler, 55, who is serving time for embezzlement, has Parkinson’s, a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that leads to shaking and difficulty with walking, movement and coordination.

A gentle soul with a sweet demeanor, I’m simply a lovable yellow Lab mix in my senior years. I’m finding these are some of the best times of my life, but I would prefer to share them with a special someone. At my age, I must remain an indoor dog, and hope for a quiet home without a bunch of crazy activity. Do you like reading books, frequent naps and the early-bird special? Hey I do too!

Come visit today.

I am a very loving Labrador Retriever and Catahoula Leopard mix. About a year old and approx. 50 pounds, my unique coat is almost all white with some cute brown freckles, my sweet face highlighted by my baby blue eyes. I am completely deaf and lack peripheral vision, so I need a dedicated, patient person to spend time with me. But I have started to pick up some sign language commands and have been a quick learner.

Take a gander at my long, black/red tortoiseshell coat, and just try not to fall in love. I’m even more stunning in person, so please come for a visit. I’m in Catopia, our free-roaming “colony” housing area at the shelter, and you’ll find me chillin’ in my bed because that’s what I like best. But give me a petting, and you’ll quickly discover how friendly I am. Since I’m about 10 years old, I’d prefer a quieter place to live.

Here’s a funny thing: I’ve got a long black coat with some white here ‘n’ there. But I arrived at the shelter with such terrible matting that they had to shave me down! You’ll find this makes me extra cute right now. About 7 or 8 years old, I get along well with other cats and like to investigate my surroundings.

But you know what’s NOT funny? This name! When you come see me, you’ll see how I got it (sigh).

Roberts was facing a charge of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer Wednesday.

Just before 1 a.m. Feb. 24, officers were called to the Tonganoxie home of Roberts’ parents for a disturbance. A Tonganoxie police officer shot at Jeff Roberts, who was armed with a shotgun. The officer’s bullet hit the gun and fragments struck the left side of Roberts’ chest.

In February, Velda Roberts said her son was living in Overland Park but had been staying with her and her husband. He told his mother he wanted to return to Overland Park, but she told him that wasn’t feasible and that led to an argument.

Shortly after, Roberts shoved his mother, she said.

He then grabbed a shotgun from a closet and went outside. That’s where an officer

shot at the armed man.

She said that her son was on medication for depression at the time of the incident.

Roberts had entered a plea of no contest in the aggravated assault case, which Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said has been dismissed.

“Crunchy Cheetos.”

The Douglas County Sheriff’s office warned residents on Friday about a scam artist posing as a sheriff’s employee who asked a business to wire money to him for a bail bond.

“This has been a popular scam around the country for some time, although not frequently reported in Douglas County,” said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a sheriff’s spokesman. “Sheriff Ken McGovern advises anyone contacted to assist in bailing out a friend or relative to use caution.”

In the recent scam, a manager of a local business received a phone call from the alleged scam artist who said the manager’s employee was arrested on charges of DUI and child endangerment and that it would cost $1,634 to post bond. Lewis said the man asked the manager to withdraw money in cash and wire it to him.

But the manager became suspicious and was able to talk to her employee, who had not been arrested, via text message. Once she started questioning the scam artist, he hung up.

Lewis said there are several court-certified bonding agents in Douglas County and that wiring money to a third party is never part of the process.

“A call or text to the person supposedly under arrest might be helpful as well,” said Lewis, who also advised people to call the jail at 785-830-1000 or check the website, www.dgso. org, to confirm the person is actually in custody before trying to help posting bond.

A judge Friday sentenced a 26-year-old Lawrence man to serve 57 days in jail and three years on probation for having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl over a sevenweek period.

District Judge Kay Huff ordered Devin Rapp to follow strict probation guidelines, including participating in sex offender, mental health and alcohol and drug treatment programs.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

Lawrence police arrested a 33-year-old Kansas City, Mo., man Friday afternoon on suspicion of aggravated battery after another man was found with a minor stab wound to his side.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said officers were called at 2 p.m. to the 700 block of West Ninth Street about a disturbance and that police later found a 39-yearold man with apparent injuries near 10th and Indiana streets.

The man alleged that he was involved in an altercation with a 33-year-old man.

Fugitive in alleged robbery returned Authorities Friday returned a 21-year-old Topeka man to Douglas County Jail who was wanted in connection with a 2009 robbery on the Kansas University campus.

According to Douglas County Jail records, Terrance Anthony Dean was booked into jail on $35,000 bond and brought to Lawrence from the Shawnee County Correctional Facility. Douglas County prosecutors in 2009 charged Dean with aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery accusing him of participating in an April 29, 2009, robbery of a male KU student at gunpoint outside McCollum Hall.

According to court records, Dean had failed to show up for court in March, and a judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest. A co-defendant in the case, Mikael Dantae Karlyle, 21, of Belton, Mo., was also brought to Douglas County on Tuesday from jail in Topeka after authorities had been looking for him.

Prosecutors accuse the two men of participating in a scheme to use a handgun to steal marijuana from a man on campus.

Algae health warning at Milford Lake downgraded

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Good news for those wanting to enjoy the beautiful weekend on one of Kansas’ lakes. Toxic levels of blue-green algae are declining.

For much of the summer, Milford Lake near Junction City has been under a public health warning, alerting people to avoid direct contact with the water.

On Friday, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced that the most recent samples taken at Milford Lake showed that algae cell counts had decreased, but were still at unsafe levels. The drop was enough for KDHE to downgrade conditions at Milford Lake from a warning to an advisory.

Another popular recreational area, the Tuttle Creek River Pond, just below the dam at Tuttle Creek State Park, is no longer under any kind of blue-green algae warning or advisory.

Several lakes still remain under a warning. They are: ! Augusta City Lake, Augusta ! Augusta Santa Fe Lake, Augusta !

Dillon Park Lake, Hutchinson

! Harvey County Camp

Hawk Lake, Harvey County ! Harvey County East Lake, Harvey County ! Harvey County West Lake, Harvey County ! Memorial/Veterans Park Lake, Great Bend !

Rigg’s Park Lake, Haysville Those lakes under an advisory include: ! Milford Lake, Clay, Geary and Dickinson counties ! Warnock Lake, Atchison County ! Logan City Lake, Phillips County ! Marion County Lake, Marion County When lakes are under a warning or advisory, people should not drink, swim, wade or have any full-body contact with the water. Fishermen should clean the fish well and only eat the fillet portion.

Also, pets should be kept out of the water and should avoid drinking it.

Ingesting blue-green algae can cause vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes, eye irritation and respiratory symptoms. Pets can die from drinking water with high levels of blue-green algal toxins.

Soldier pleads guilty to attempted battery A Fort Leavenworth soldier pleaded guilty Friday to attempted aggravated battery in connection with a December fight in downtown Lawrence in which a 20-year-old Kansas City, Kan., man was stabbed.

Christopher J. McCallum entered the plea Friday morning after Douglas County prosecutors amended an aggravated battery charge he initially faced to the attempted count.

Assistant district attorney Michael Allen said in court that prosecutors had evidence police were called to a fight around 1 a.m. Dec. 5 near Seventh and Massachusetts

streets, and investigators discovered that McCallum had a knife and attacked the man.

But Allen said McCallum failed in committing “great bodily harm or disfigurement” against the victim. Police have said the victim suffered injuries that were not life threatening.

District Judge Sally Pokorny told McCallum on Friday morning he could face anywhere from 17 months to nearly four years in prison but that it was possible he could qualify for probation if he does not have a significant criminal history. Pokorny is scheduled to sentence McCallum on Oct. 27.

School district to consider buying iPad 2s

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Giving an apple to a teacher stands as a traditional gift from students, and now Lawrence school board members are poised to elevate the practice to a high-tech level.

Monday night, board members will consider paying $122,230 for 172 new Apple iPad 2s, plus associated equipment and software. The tablets would be used by teachers and, eventually, their students to try out new programs, curricula and other matters related to reading, technical education and professional development.

‘Story Slam’ to feature tales of volunteering

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Students and alumni will come together next week, during Kansas University’s homecoming celebrations, to share how volunteering and service changed their lives.

It’s billed as a “Story Slam,” an event similar to a poetry slam, where members of the community will gather and tell stories about the theme of service at KU. Jeff Severin, director of KU’s Center for Sustainability, is scheduled to tell one of the stories. He said he would describe his experiences as a KU undergraduate, when he helped form a sustainable gardening group on campus.

“I think we kind of know the impacts these programs have on the community,” he said, but the effects on volunteers aren’t as well-known.

“It really does shape where we go with our lives from that point forward.”

Another scheduled storyteller is Will Dale, a KU student who participated in a Teach for America program

in Chicago and later went on a PBS-sponsored trip that mirrored the path of the Freedom Riders, civil activists who rode integrated buses in the South during segregation. Dale and Severin will join other KU students, alumni and staff who will present at the event.

Stephanie Jian is co-director for KU’s Alternative Breaks program, one of the hosts of the event, along with KU’s Center for Community Outreach. She said she hoped the event could inspire others to participate in service activities.

“I think stories are a really powerful medium for sharing a message,” she said.

The story slam is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. A reception with food and drink will follow the event in the Big 12 Room.

Though this is the first time for the event, organizers hope to bring it back in future years.

could be improved.

Among sources of financing for the new iPad 2s and related equipment and software: money set aside for furnishings and technology upgrades through the district’s capital outlay fund, grant revenue, student fees and funds set aside for contracted professional development.

Monday’s meeting begins at 7 p.m. at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive, immediately following an hourlong study session covering the district’s efforts regarding its curriculum.

Palestinians Falling satellite slows; submit bid Earth strike delayed to U.N. for statehood

By Amy Teibel and Mohammed Daraghmeh Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS — The Palestinian leader took his people’s quest for independence to the heart of world diplomacy Friday, seeking U.N. recognition of Palestine and sidestepping negotiations that have foundered for nearly two decades under the weight of inflexibility, violence and failure of will.

The bid to win recognition of a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem — submitted over the objections of the U.S. — laid bare the deep sense of Palestinian exasperation after 44 years of Israeli occupation.

“The time is now for the Palestinian Spring, the time for independence,” Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared.

“The time has come to end the suffering and the plight of millions of Palestine refugees in the homeland and the diaspora, to end their displacement and to realize their rights.” Abbas After Abbas submitted his formal application, international mediators called on Israel and the Palestinians to return to long-stalled negotiations and reach an agreement no later than next year. The Quartet — the U.S., European Union, U.N. and Russia — urged both parties to draw up an agenda for peace talks within a month and produce comprehensive proposals on territory and security within three months.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the proposal “represents the firm conviction of the international community that a just and lasting peace can only come through negotiations between the parties.”

Similar plans have failed to produce a peace agreement, and it was unclear how the two sides could bridge their huge differences and resume talks.

The Quartet statement was radically different from what diplomats had been hoping to draft since it became clear that Abbas would not back down. U.S. and European officials had been trying to craft a statement that would outline parameters of the negotiations, including a reference to borders being based on the 1967 lines and affirm Israel’s identity as a Jewish state.

Instead, the Quartet focused on proposing deadlines.

World sympathy for the Palestinian cause was evident from the thunderous applause that greeted Abbas as he mounted the dais in the General Assembly hall to deliver a speech that laid out his grievances against the Israeli occupation and why he felt compelled to take his appeal directly to the U.N. In a scathing denunciation of Israel’s settlement policy, Abbas declared negotiations with Israel “will be meaningless” as long as it continues building on lands the Palestinians claim. He went so far as to warn that his government could collapse if the construction persists.

“This policy is responsible for the continued failure of the successive international attempts to salvage the peace process,” said Abbas, who has refused to negotiate until the construction stops. “This settlement policy threatens to also undermine the structure of the Palestinian National Authority and even end its existence.”

He ignored any Palestinian culpability for the negotiations stalemate, deadly violence against Israel, and the internal rift that has produced dueling governments in the West Bank and Gaza, as well as Jewish links to the Holy Land.

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. (AP) — A 6-ton NASA satellite on a collision course with Earth clung to space Friday, apparently flipping position in its ever-lower orbit and stalling its death plunge.

The old research spacecraft was targeted to crash through the atmosphere sometime Friday night or early today, putting Canada, Africa and Australia in the potential crosshairs, although most of the satellite should burn up during re-entry. The United States wasn’t entirely out of the woods; the possible strike zone skirted Washington state.

“It just doesn’t want to come down,” said Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

McDowell said the satellite’s delayed demise demonstrates how unreliable predictions can be. That said,

“the best guess is that it will still splash in the ocean, just because there’s more ocean out there.”

On Friday night, NASA said it expected the satellite to come crashing down between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. CDT. It was going to be passing over the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans at that time, as well as Canada, Africa and Australia.

“The risk to public safety is very remote,” NASA said in a statement.

Any surviving wreckage is expected to be limited to a 500-mile swath.

The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, will be the biggest NASA spacecraft to crash back to Earth, uncontrolled, since the post-Apollo 75-ton Skylab space station and the more than 10-ton Pegasus 2 satellite, both in 1979.

Congress hits budget impasse

By Andrew Taylor and Charles Babington Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Just a week away from a possible government shutdown, lawmakers boxed themselves into a new budget impasse Friday.

With Congress’ approval ratings already at an all-time low, a tit-for-tat over disaster aid left Republicans and Democrats — and the House and Senate — in a faceoff that’s all too familiar to millions of Americans. Deep partisan disputes pushed the government to the edge of a partial shutdown in April, and to the brink of a debt ceiling crisis in late July.

On Friday, the Democratic-controlled Senate blocked a Republican House bill that would provide stopgap federal spending, plus aid for people battered by hurricanes, tornadoes and other natural disasters. The legislation also calls for $1.6 billion in spending cuts to help defray the disaster costs.

Democrats say it’s unprecedented and unfair to require spending cuts to accompany badly needed emergency aid.

They are especially unhappy that the GOP measure would tap clean-energy programs credited with creating jobs.

Republicans say that with a $14 trillion-plus national debt, business-as-usual spending is no longer acceptable.

With elections coming, congressional Republicans suggest voters will find it outrageous that Democrats wouldn’t accept a mere $1.6 billion in spending cuts.

Democrats are betting voters will find it petty and manipulative to let tornado and hurricane victims wonder if federal aid will be denied because lawmakers want to cut aid to automakers.

The parties’ feuding earlier this year prompted a rating agency to downgrade the government’s credit-worthi-

SENATE MAJORITY LEADER HARRY REID of Nevada, right, accompanied by House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland, gestures Friday during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington to discuss the continuing resolution to keep the government open. ness, which sent shock waves through financial markets.

Legislation finally did make it to passage to raise the debt limit and stave off potential default.

This time, it’s possible that Congress will find a last-minute way to avoid a shutdown of many federal agencies when the fiscal year ends next Friday. The Senate plans to vote Monday on a Democratic bill that would not require spending offsets to release new money for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

FEMA, drained by several severe storms, could run out by next week, officials said.

In the Senate, however, GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is confident Republicans will block the Democrats’ counter-move with a filibuster. It takes 41 votes to sustain a filibuster in the 100-member Senate, and the Republicans hold 47 seats.

If the GOP succeeds, the Senate could accept the House Republican bill it rejected on Friday. Or legislative leaders could try to negotiate their way past the logjam. Congress was not scheduled to be in session next week, and House

leaders said they don’t plan to call their members back to Washington.

The governors of four hurricane-damaged East Coast states — including the Republican governors of New Jersey and Pennsylvania — said in a statement that “federal assistance for the victims of storms and floods should be beyond politics.”

If the disaster relief agency runs out of money, the most immediate hardships could be felt by storm victims who need assistance checks to continue stays in motels and other temporary housing. Disaster victims could also face delayed aid for crucial repairs of house and structural damage, said FEMA spokeswoman Rachel Racusen.

She said the disaster relief fund contained no more than $175 million, which is already committed to aiding victims of Hurricanes Irene and Lee and the heavy flooding across the Eastern seaboard.

Lawmakers are quarreling over deeply held principles but a minuscule amount of money in an annual discretionary budget of more than $1.3 trillion.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable !"A failed Exxon Mobil pipeline that spilled an estimated 42,000 gallons of oil into the Yellowstone River was expected to restart operations today after federal officials approved repairs meant to prevent another accident.

A quarter-mile segment of the 12-inch pipeline was replaced by drilling a new passage an estimated 60 to 70 feet beneath the riverbed. That change makes it far less likely that the Silvertip pipeline will fail a second time, Montana Department of Environmental Quality Director Richard Opper said.

“There were a lot of eyes on this from our federal partners,” Opper said of repairs to the line. “It was done right. It’s a lot safer pipeline now, at least crossing the river.”

The 20-year-old line broke near Laurel on July 1 after flooding scoured the river bottom and exposed the pipe, which had been buried just five feet deep in some areas.

Global leaders struggle to calm recession fears

By Christopher S. Rugaber and Martin Crutsinger Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The world’s economic powers struggled on Friday to get on top of a European debt crisis that is threatening to dump the global economy back into recession.

Officials gathered for three days of discussion pledged to push forward to fulfill the goals of a program in which the Group of 20 major economies promised stronger cooperation to jump-start global growth and help Greece avoid a destabilizing default.

But private economists questioned whether the latest action plan unveiled by the G-20 countries Thursday night went far enough to deal with market concerns that a Greek default is a virtual certainty that threatens to destabilize other highly indebted European countries.

All of the discussions about European debt were occurring around the annual meetings of the 187-nation International Monetary Fund and its sister lending agency, the World Bank.

In advance of those talks, the G-20 finance officials, including Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, pledged a bold effort to deal with the debt crisis and encouraged Europe to move quickly to implement its promises to help Greece.

The G-20 statement had little initial impact on the market’s sour mood, with stocks continuing to tumble in Asia.

Europe, which had suffered big losses on Thursday, stabilized and managed to eke out small gains on Friday, as did Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 0.1 percent to 10,745 while the broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 0.5 percent to 1,134.

Private analysts, however, predicted more down days for stocks in coming weeks as investors continue to fear the consequences of a Greek debt default.

Jay Bryson, global economist at Wells Fargo Securities, contrasted the G-20 statement Thursday with the bold program the G-20 put forward in London in April 2009 at the height of that financial crisis with billions of dollars of support put forward to boost economic growth and provide a financial backstop for the IMF to rescue countries in trouble.

“You’ve got to back up words with actions,” Bryson said of Thursday’s statement, which he said was an example of “political paralysis.”

Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University’s Martin Smith School of Business, said the great concern is that if Greece doesn’t make further painful cuts in government spending and ends up defaulting on its debt, the shock waves will rock big banks in France and Europe with heavy exposure to Greek debt and will cause fearful investors to flee the bonds of other heavily indebted countries such as Italy and Spain, countries with much bigger economies.

Obama returning to his ‘soak the rich’ roots WASHINGTON — In a 2008 debate, Charlie Gibson asked Barack Obama about his support for raising capital gains taxes, given the historical record of government losing net revenue as a result. Obama persevered: “Well, Charlie, what I’ve said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.”

A most revealing window into our president’s political core: To impose a tax that actually impoverishes our communal bank account (the U.S. Treasury) is ridiculous. It is nothing but punitive. It benefits no one — not the rich, not the poor, not the government. For Obama, however, it brings fairness, which is priceless.

Now that he’s president, Obama has actually gone and done it. He’s just proposed a $1.5 trillion tsunami of tax hikes featuring a “Buffett rule” that, although as yet deliberately still fuzzy, clearly includes raising capital gains taxes.

He also insists again upon raising marginal rates on “millionaire” couples making $250,000 or more.

But roughly half the income of small businesses (i.e., those filing individual returns) would be hit by this tax increase. Therefore, if we are to believe Obama’s own logic that his proposed business tax credits would increase hiring, then surely this tax hike will reduce small-business hiring.

But what are jobs when fairness is at stake? Fairness trumps growth.

Fairness trumps revenue. Fairness trumps economic logic.

It is an easy and comfortable political shift for him, because it’s a shift from a phony centrism back to his social-democratic core, from positioning to authenticity.

Obama himself has said that “you don’t raise taxes in a recession.” Why then would he risk economic damage when facing re-election? Because these proposals have no chance of being enacted, many of them having been rejected by the Democraticcontrolled Congress of Obama’s first two years in office.

Moreover, this is not an economic, or jobs, or debt-reduction plan in the first place. This is a campaign manifesto. This is anti-millionaire populism as premise for his re-election.

And as such, it is already working.

Obama’s Democratic base is electrified. On the left, the new message is

playing to rave reviews. It has rekindled the enthusiasm of his core constituency — the MoveOn, Hollywood liberal, Upper West Side precincts best described years ago by John Updike: “Like most of her neighborhood, she was a fighting liberal, fighting to have her money taken from her.”

Added Updike: “For all her exertions, it never was.” But now with Obama — it will! Turns out, Obama really was the one they had been waiting for.

That is: the new Obama, today’s soak-the-rich, veto-threatening, selfproclaimed class warrior. Except that the new Obama is really the old Obama — the one who, upon entering office in the middle of a deep economic crisis, and determined not to allow “a serious crisis to go to waste” (to quote his then chief of staff), exploited the (presumed) malleability of a demoralized and therefore passive citizenry to enact the largest Keynesian stimulus in recorded history, followed by the quasi-nationalization of one-sixth of the economy that is health care.

Considering the political cost — massive electoral rebuke by an infuriated 2010 electorate — these are the works of a conviction politician, one deeply committed to his own socialdemocratic vision.

That politician now returns.

Obama’s new populism surely is a calculation that his halfhearted feints to the center after the midterm “shellacking” were not only unconvincing

but would do him no good anyway with a stagnant economy, 9 percent unemployment and a staggering $4 trillion of new debt.

But this is more than a political calculation. It is more than just a pander to his base. It is a pander to himself: Obama is a member of his base. He believes this stuff. It is an easy and comfortable political shift for him, because it’s a shift from a phony centrism back to his social-democratic core, from positioning to authenticity.

The authentic Obama is a leveler, a committed social democrat, a staunch believer in the redistributionist state, a tribune, above all, of “fairness” — understood as government-imposed and government-enforced equality.

That’s why “soak the rich” is not just a campaign slogan to rally the base. It’s a mission, a vocation. It’s why for all its gratuitous cynicism and demagoguery, Obama’s populist Rose Garden lecture on Monday was delivered with such obvious — and unusual — conviction.

He’s returned to the authenticity of his radical April 2009 “New Foundation” address (at Georgetown University) that openly proclaimed his intent to fundamentally transform America.

Good. There’s something to be said for authenticity. A choice not an echo, said Barry Goldwater. The country will soon choose, although not soon enough.

Politics doom Mideast peace efforts “Peace is hard,” said President Obama, at the United Nations, in what seemed like a cri de coeur. “Remember, peace is hard,” he repeated again.

That phrase was an epitaph for his failure to renew negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians, or to prevent the latter from seeking a U.N. vote on independence.

The speech Wednesday was also a sad comedown for a president who pledged two years ago in Cairo to revamp America’s relationship with the Arab world and promote peace among Israel and its neighbors.

and no new ideas or formulas.

But it did make one thing clear: Bitter domestic politics will doom any further U.S. efforts to revive serious peace talks — at great cost to Israel and America’s interests in the Middle East.

“I know that many are frustrated by the lack of progress (in talks),” the president said.

“So am I.” Yet Obama persisted in recent weeks in a fruitless effort to dissuade the Palestinians from submitting their U.N. resolution. It would have been far more State Board of effective to try to shape the Education resolution’s language in a way that could renew talks.

pending new talks. This speaks to Israel’s concerns that it be recognized by the Palestinians as the home of the Jewish people.

But any rational consideration of the resolution

by U.S. politicians became impossible in this election season. Emboldened by a special-election victory in a heavily Jewish congressional district in New York, Republican candidates want to paint Obama as anti-Israel and peel off normally Democratic Jewish voters. They also want to appeal to Israel’s evangelical supporters here.

Thus Republican presidential wannabe Rick Perry thundered — in New York on Tuesday — that Obama’s stance toward Israel was “naive, arrogant, misguided, and dangerous.” Misguided? That description fits Perry’s views to a tee.

The Texas governor proclaimed Israel should have complete control over Jerusalem and the right to keep building Jewish settlements on the West Bank. Never mind that settlements chop the West Bank into cantons and rule out any viable Palestinian state. Never mind that peace talks have been premised on Jerusalem as the undivided

the Palestinian leaders on the West Bank who do recognize Israel — by renewing talks.

Moreover, U.S. opposition to the U.N. resolution will undercut its influence in the region and its ability to mediate on the peace issue.

If Obama vetoes a Security Council resolution for Palestinian statehood, widespread Arab hostility toward America will deepen. (Had the United States taken a more constructive approach to the U.N. resolution, it might have avoided a Security Council showdown.)

Congress is now threatening to cut off U.S. funds to the governing Palestinian Authority, without even realizing that this will hurt Israel. Much of this money goes to train West Bank security forces that help Israel battle Hamas. If the Palestinian Authority collapses from lack of funds, Israel will have to resume responsibility for administering the West Bank.

Those U.S. politicians who care about Israel might do more good if they actually studied the issue. Otherwise, their embrace may harm Israel more than it helps.

Tax rates To the editor: Almost 80 percent of Americans believe that the wealthiest percentage of our population should be paying a much higher rate of income taxes. The rate for our richest taxpayers is now approximately 18 percent, which is the lowest rate for taxation of any class of taxpayers.

The history of American taxation during the Second World War discloses that on the increasing scale, the highest rate was 90 percent of income on the top dollars earned.

I recall that in my early business career in 1965 and a few years after that, I was paying 70 percent of the top dollars that I earned. This was the first time that I was aware of higher taxes, but I was happy to be able to earn so much money and I remember thinking, “What a wonderful country to be able to make so much money.” I remember being so proud of being in the highest bracket.

The current Republican Congress seems intent upon keeping the tax rates low.

During George W. Bush’s eight years as president, he signed commitments to lower taxes to the point that when he left office, his combination of lowered taxes and increased expenditures on two unnecessary wars, created the largest national debt in history up to that time. After that, President Barack Obama, in attempting to bring the country out of the Bush Depression has continued to increase the national debt.

We are now at a point of grave danger. How can anyone think that lower taxes will save our country?

capital of two states, one Jewish, one Palestinian.

Domestic pressures rule the peace process moot.

Of course, Obama has made mistakes in handling the Palestinian question. He should have visited Israel early in his presidency. He could have picked better staffers to work on the issue.

But it’s bizarre to watch Republicans attack the president for dissing Israel when he’s repeatedly pledged an unshakable commitment to Israel’s security. He clearly means this.

Moreover, his call for peace talks based on 1967 lines with agreed territorial swaps echoed a formula endorsed by previous Israeli prime ministers. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of this formula, and of advances made by previous negotiators, helped derail the talks.

Pro-Israel politicians rightly point to Hamas, the extremist Palestinian group that now controls Gaza and directs rockets at Israel. They ask how peace is possible with a group that doesn’t recognize Israel. But history has shown that Hamas was weakest when the peace process was strongest. The best way to undercut Hamas is to strengthen

Donald Glover Tonight, Donald Glover, co-star on NBC’s — and arguably network TV’s — best comedy, “Community,” stops by the Lied Center, 1600 Stewart Drive. Glover has been consistently stealing scenes on that show thanks to his gift for improvisation, playfulness and natural comedic timing.

What many of Glover’s fans don’t know is that he got his start as a member of comedic troop Derrick Comedy before working as a writer on both “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “30 Rock.” Not a bad resume for a 27-year-old.

Glover’s humor is observational, and he has a knack for getting the audience on his side and getting involved. See for yourself at 7 p.m. tonight. Tickets are $20 unless you’re a student.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Small class, big impact For years, everybody knew this was going to be a rebuilding season for a Free State High football program with quite the winning tradition going for itself, but just 13 seniors on the roster.

Things don’t always go as expected. Sometimes they go a whole lot better.

Four games into this football season, the Firebirds have won three games. An extremely experienced, talented coach, Bob Lisher, and young players short on varsity experience and long on ability, certainly have a great deal to do with that. And so does a senior class short on quantity and long on quality.

Seniors had their fingerprints all over Friday night’s 42-7 homecoming blasting of Shawnee Mission Northwest.

Running back Shawn Knighton, generously listed at 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds, in a way equates the ideal symbol for this senior class in that he’s small but valuable. Darting through physical blocks, Knighton rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries and gained 10 yards or more on seven rushes. His final carry was his longest, a 51-yard touchdown.

“Shawn makes the best cuts I’ve seen in a while,” classmate Calloway Schmidt said. “It doesn’t matter about his size.

He runs harder than anybody else I’ve seen.”

Schmidt, a 6-2, 170-pound ball magnet of a linebacker, intercepted one pass and nearly snagged another, but the ball popped loose when he hit the ground. Even without that, Schmidt has three interceptions this season. He nearly picked up a sack and settled for hurrying the quarterback into an incompletion.

Senior kicker Kale Joyce nailed all six extra-point kicks, and classmate Adam Joice repeatedly heard his name called over the loudspeaker for making tackles. Fellow senior Andrew McLees made good use of four carries late in the game, running for 10 yards on his third carry. The physical play of Jimmy Fernandez, Seth Holiday and Caylor Norris are three big reasons the offensive line has exceeded expectations.

Nate Fiester and Austin Green are enjoying strong senior seasons on the defensive line, as is inside linebacker Tim Turner.

Ryan Patterson led the Firebirds with three receptions for 43 yards Friday. Tony Woolery, like the senior class as a whole, is an undersized overachiever.

“We have a small group, but we play hard and we play together,” Schmidt said. “I wasn’t sure what to expect coming into the season. I thought we might have some problems, just because of our lack of experience, but our young players have been stepping it up, and our seniors have been showing leadership.”

Knighton said the seniors go out to eat together the night before games. He said each of the 13 from the Class of 2012 met for a meal at Hy-Vee after Thursday’s practice.

Having so much talent behind them requires making sacrifices, and the seniors don’t show any jealousy.

“I decided to make the switch to just receiver (on offense) because I thought our young talent was pretty phenomenal,” said Schmidt, a former quarterback. “Our two quarterbacks (junior Kyle McFarland and sophomore Joe Dineen) and a lot of other young players are going to be studs in coming years.”

Like this year, for example.

Firebirds run wild Injury overshadows in rout of SMNW Lions’ 35-13 win

By Nick Nelson nnelson@ljworld.com

Free State High football coach Bob Lisher wasn’t happy with his team’s running game going into its match-up against Shawnee Mission Northwest. The Firebirds had been without starting running back Shawn Knighton, who was out because of an ankle injury last week, and the offensive line was not bringing the physicality the coach desired.

That all changed Friday night at Free State.

Knighton, a senior, had 15 carries for 166 yards and two touchdowns, one of them a 51-yard highlight featuring a cut-back near the 40-yard-line that made his ankle look just fine.

“My ankle was still giving me problems, but I had to push through it,” Knighton said.

That run put the fork in a 42-7 trouncing of the Cougars on Free State’s homecoming night.

“I just saw the hole and exploded ... I hadn’t gotten to the end zone this year yet, so I had to try to get one tonight,” said Knighton, who credited his offensive line for its strong play.

“The first couple runs, you could tell he was a little shaky, but then he got into the rhythm and he was downhill and he was making play after play after play and hitting the hole where it needed to be hit,” Lisher said.

Despite his big evening, Knighton was not even the Firebirds’ leading rusher. Junior quarterback Kyle McFarland ran 18 times for 202 yards and three touchdowns and threw for 71 yards.

Free State finished with 445 yards rushing on a SWNW team that entered the night as the Sunflower League’s top rushing defense.

LEAVENWORTH — The play was quick.

Senior running back Charles Jackson took the hand-off and went down almost immediately for no gain.

Just as he had been doing all night, he wouldn’t go without a fight. Jackson gave the defender a stiff-arm, but was yanked down awkwardly. In a few seconds, the play was over. The 30 minutes that followed could have lasted an eternity.

Jackson began to writhe in pain on the ground, favoring a horrible-looking injury to his left leg as medical staff and coaches ran over to comfort him. Coach Dirk Wedd was on his knee next to him for the half hour it took for an ambulance to load Jackson onto a stretcher and take him away to a nearby hospital.

“I love you,” Wedd said to him.

“I’ll see you as soon as the game is over.”

Lawrence beat Leavenworth, 35-13, on Friday night, but it was a somber night for the Lions.

Jackson was having one of his best games of the season with 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns and eight minutes still left before his injury.

Aside from that, though, the Lions didn’t play well.

Though they sustained a double-digit lead for most of the game, the Lions had four turnovers and never truly put the Pioneers away.

“It was just one of those games you never felt comfortable,” Wedd said.

Jackson scored the first two touchdowns for Lawrence, then a touchdown from junior quarterback Brad Strauss to senior receiver Anthony Buffalomeat extended the lead to 21-0 in the Please see LIONS, page 3B

Wright fired up for Legends exhibition

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University basketball forward Julian Wright, who speaks in rapidfire sentences, was rendered speechless Friday afternoon upon entering the Jayhawks’ shiny, new practice facility for the first time.

“I walked in and I was like, ‘Wow,’’’ the 24-year-old Toronto Raptors forward said of the building adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse that opened for business on Aug. 24, 2009. “It took me awhile to get on the court ’cause I kept looking around.

“I almost got emotional. I was in shock,” added Wright, who

has completed four full seasons in the NBA. The 6-foot-8, 225-pounder played pick-up basketball with some of the participants in today’s Legends of the Phog exhibition game, set for a 4 p.m. tipoff in the fieldhouse.

Those who ran the court included some members of KU’s current team, plus NBA players Wright, Mario Chalmers, Xavier Henry, Nick Collison, Cole Aldrich, the Morris twins and Josh Selby.

“We wanted to put up some shots, get ready for the game,” Wright said. “I’m going to try to run the floor (today), get some highlight plays like in an all-star game. I’m not going to try to be

‘the guy’ or anything, just try to have fun and make big plays in an all-star setting.”

Other NBA players confirmed to play in KU’s sold-out Legends game are Darrell Arthur, Darnell Jackson, Paul Pierce and Brandon Rush. In addition, former Jayhawks Nick Bradford, Jeff Graves, Jeff Hawkins, Christian Moody, Ron Kellogg, Greg Ostertag, Scot Pollard, Ryan Robertson, Wayne Simien, Billy Thomas and Darnell Valentine have said they will compete in the game that will be televised on Metro Sports as well as Cox Communications Kansas 22. It can be seen on the Internet via AT&T Jayhawk All Access.

“It’ll be fun being back in Al-

len Fieldhouse. That’s the biggest part for me because I love the fieldhouse,” said secondyear Memphis Grizzlies guard Henry, who played at KU during the 2009-10 season. “Just to go back in there and play again before the fans will be so much fun.”

The 20-year-old Henry is healthy for the first time in a long time. A painful right knee injury that did not require surgery limited him to 38 games his rookie season. He was shut down for good on Feb. 23.

“I had a difficult season with my knee,” Henry said, noting he had “tears in my MCL and stuff

NBA cancels 43 preseason games

By Brian Mahoney Associated Press Basketball Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The lockout has started doing real damage to the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calendar.

Players wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t report at the usual time. The preseason wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start as scheduled.

And more cancellations could be necessary without a new labor deal soon.

Out of time to keep everything intact, the NBA postponed training camps indefinitely and canceled 43 preseason games Friday because it has not reached an agreement with players.

All games from Oct. 9-15 are off,

the league said. Camps were expected to open Oct. 3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have regretfully reached the point on the calendar where we are not able to open training camps on time and need to cancel the first week of preseason games,â&#x20AC;? Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will make further decisions as warranted.â&#x20AC;?

The playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association did not comment.

NBA.comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule page, which has a banner across the top listing the number of games each day, was changed Friday to read â&#x20AC;&#x153;0 Gamesâ&#x20AC;? for each date until Oct. 16, when there are four games.

Those could be in jeopardy, too, without an agreement by the end of this month or very early October. The league scrapped the remainder of its preseason schedule on Oct. 6 in 1998, when the regular season was reduced to 50 games.

That remains the only time the NBA has lost games to a work stoppage.

The cancellations were inevitable after Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting between owners and players ended without a collective bargaining agreement. Both sides still hope the entire regular season, scheduled to begin Nov. 1, can be saved.

The league locked out the players on July 1 after the expiration of

the old labor agreement. Owners and players still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agreed on how to divide revenues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; players were guaranteed 57 percent under the previous deal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the structure of the salary cap.

The next talks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scheduled, but both sides said Thursday they hope to meet again next week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though the window could be limited because of the Jewish holiday and a union meeting Tuesday in Miami. They probably need a deal by the middle of October to avoid canceling real games.

According to NBA policy, ticket holders for canceled games will be refunded the cost of the ticket plus 1 percent interest.

COMMENTARY

Give â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Peaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a chance

By Bill Dwyre Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; For those who are cynical, including this card-carrying member, Ron Artestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent name change to Metta World Peace was an eye roll.

Spare us, Ron, baby.

How about just focusing on avoiding fighting with fans in the stands, as you did in that game in Detroit in 2004, costing yourself a season-long suspension? Basketball peace first. Then the world.

But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at this more closely. Artestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gesture, as wacky as the man making it, comes at a rather interesting time.

Maybe Ron/Metta is on to something.

The world of sports, promoted as a theater of triumph, now seems more like an arena of anger. The games seem rougher, the stakes higher. Everybody seems angry at everybody else a lot of the time.

Players, pushed by fans, ego and greed, play meaner and dirtier. You throw a pitch at my guy, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll throw one at yours. The end justifies the means. Sportsmanship is something from the Old Testament.

You can almost hear Rodney King, asking plaintively at that news conference, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we all just get along?â&#x20AC;?

The hockey season ends with the Canucks losing in the Stanley Cup finals and fans rioting for five hours in the streets of Vancouver, causing injury and millions of dollars in damage.

The baseball season begins with a Giants fan being beaten, nearly to death, by a couple of men in the Dodger Stadium parking lot, apparently angered that he had the audacity to wear a Giants jersey.

The biggest name in the NHL, Sidney Crosby, may return as damaged goods after taking two big hits and sitting out with concussion symptoms most of last season.

The second week of pro football season features a hit by Falcons player Dunta Robinson that brings a $40,000 fine for its flagrancy. You can count on more.

In her second straight U.S. Open tennis tournament, Serena Williams exits with a venomous threat against a court official.

So there you have it, a sampling from the angry, wide, wide world of sports, in an era of look-at-me pounding on the chest and celebratory dances by football players who have just made a tackle after a six-yard gain.

Enter our contrarian, Metta World Peace, of all people.

Who would have thought?

The same person who once administered a flagrant elbow to the head of Manu Ginobili during a playoff game wins this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award in the NBA. Be careful here. This could dissolve quickly into a publicity stunt.

But for now, why not take Ron/Metta at his word? Nobody else seems to be trying.

His recent actions speak volumes. Maybe his example gets noticed. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not roll our eyes. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believe that leopards can change their spots.

Maybe we can all get along, after all.

Scott leads, Woodland 21st at Championship ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Adam Scott is playing well enough to win the Tour Championship. With a little help, he could win a lot more.

Scott figured he was too far back in the FedEx Cup at No. 19 to have a realistic chance at the $10 million bonus. His main concern was heading home to Australia after this week with the crystal trophy from the Tour Championship.

His chances have changed, even if his focus hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Scott finished birdie-birdie for the second straight day on the tough closing holes at East Lake, allowing him to recover from a rugged start for a 5-under 65 on Friday and a one-shot lead over K.J. Choi.

He hit a 9-iron from a Scott divot on the 17th to 7 feet, then hit a 3-iron into about 10 feet on the par-3 18th to finish at 8-under 132 and head into the weekend of the FedEx Cup finale with increasing possibilities.

Choi also had a 65 and will be in the final group today with Scott.

Two shots behind were Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world and No. 4 in the FedEx Cup, who had a 68; and Jason Day, who was paired with Scott on a balmy afternoon and shot 67.

Scott, who won the Tour Championship at East Lake in 2006 the year before the FedEx Cup was created, also had a scrappy start with three bogeys on the opening six holes.

Fourteen players were separated by five shots going into the weekend, a group that includes two of the top five players in the FedEx Cup standings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Donald and Matt Kuchar.

With two days remaining, there is no clear favorite for the FedEx Cup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or for the Tour Championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get a bunch of good players together, and these things are going to unfold like this,â&#x20AC;?

Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everyone is just enjoying being here and trying to do the best they can, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot at stake, obviously.â&#x20AC;?

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland finished Friday with a 2-under 68, after shooting a 72 in the first round Thursday.

Woodland is in 21st place after two rounds.

MLS

KC regains conference lead KANSAS CITY, KAN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Omar Bravo scored his team-leading ninth goal of the season, and Sporting Kansas City moved back into the MLSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Eastern Conference lead with a 1-1 draw against the Philadelphia Union on Friday night.

Sporting (10-9-11) and Columbus, which plays host to Los Angeles tonight, each have 41 points. Kansas City leads the Crew on goal differential, with plus-6 to Columbusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minus-2.

Sebastien Le Toux scored a second-half equalizer for Philadelphia (9-7-13), which moved into third place in the East with 40 points.

In the 56th minute, Bravo took Kei Kamaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long cross and buried his shot in the top of the net from point-blank range.

But in the 63rd, Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michael Farfan won a loose ball at the end line and passed back to Le Toux, who scored from 6 yards.

Newman wins pole at N.H. LOUDON, N.H. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ryan Newman was the last car out and the fastest on the track, turning a lap of 135.002 mph to win the pole at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Newman won the pole for the second time at New Hampshire this season. He started first in July and went on to win his only race of the season. Newman is seventh in the points standings and has three total poles this year.

Newman almost didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a qualifying run Friday. Rain delayed qualifying with five cars left. Newman made it worth the wait.

Red Bull Racing drivers Kasey Kahne was second and Brian Vickers was third. Greg Biffle and Kurt Busch round out the top five.

Had rain wiped out qualifying, the field would have been set on practice times. Busch struggled early Friday and would have started in the 30s had that happened.

Police said there were no signs of trauma or suspicious activity.

Brown, a 6-foot-7 offensive tackle, played 10 NFL seasons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four with the Cleveland Browns (1993-95 and 1999) and six with the Baltimore Ravens (1996-98 and 2003-05).

League pushes Dodgers sale DOVER, DEL. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Attorneys for Major League Baseball asked a Delaware bankruptcy judge on Friday to clear the way for a sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers, saying team owner Frank McCourt is driving the team to destruction.

Attorneys for the league argued in a court filing that McCourt is using the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chapter 11 case to try to resolve his own personal financial problems. They said he has methodically stripped the team of its revenue sources and is now seeking to auction off the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television rights without league approval, which could lead to its expulsion from the league and leave it in economic ruin.

League attorneys argue that the only path for a quick and successful emergence from bankruptcy is a sale of the team.

Firebirds CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Cody Stanclift recovered them.

Junior running back T.J. Cobbs got things going on the ground with a 14-yard touchdown run with 2:10 left in the first quarter.

The Firebirds (3-1) steadily built on that lead by dominating the line of scrimmage and burning past the second level of the defense to send the visitors on a bus ride back home with a 1-3 record.

Free State senior linebacker Calloway Schmidt put an end to Northwest’s first drive after that score with an interception at the 34-yard line.

McFarland and Knighton took it from there. The running back started the next drive with a 30-yard gain, and the quarterback ended it two plays later, passing up an option toss to keep it himself and follow an inside lane provided by his line all the way to the end zone.

“From the start our line just opened up holes, and we were getting five yards per carry, usually,” McFarland said.

The coach praised his quarterback’s patience.

“He let his holes develop, where we rushed a few things before,” Lisher said. “They were sending a lot of people.

They tried to shut down the run on us by blitzing a lot of people, and our guys are doing a nice job of picking that up.”

The Firebirds forced a three-and-out on the Cougars’ next drive, and Schmidt showed his nose for the football once again, nearly intercepting the ball on third down.

From there it was another heavy dose of McFarland and Knighton. That drive ended with a 15-yard run by McFarland, who went untouched into the end zone on a keeper to put FSHS up, 21-0, with 7:02 left in the first half.

Shawnee Mission Northwest then used a 15-play, 76yard drive for its first and only score of the night with 26.3 seconds left in the half.

Running back Danny Manning capped the drive with a four-yard touchdown run.

Manning had 108 of the Cougars’ 146 first-half rushing yards.

Lisher knew his team needed to make some halftime adjustments to contain the Cougars’ running attack, and make adjustments it did.

Free State allowed only 72 rushing yards the rest of the night.

first quarter.

In the second quarter, Strauss ended consecutive drives with interceptions, and the Pioneers capitalized on one with a touchdown.

Strauss shook off the turnovers and found junior Drake Hofer in the end zone for a touchdown right before half, pushing the lead back to 21.

The Lions (2-2) mishandled a few snaps in the second half, and twice the ball found itself with the Pioneers (0-4). One resulted in a 55-yard touchdown, but Lawrence came right back, and Strauss hooked up with Buffalomeat for a second time in the end zone.

Though the Lions won, they were in no mood to celebrate.

The severity Jackson’s injury is still unknown, forcing Wedd to find a replacement for his top rusher as well as a teammate who never showed a frown.

“We’ll come through this,” Wedd said. “I’ve got a great bunch of kids who have huge hearts, and they’ll overcome this.”

Junior Jordan Brown replaced Jackson as Lawrence’s go-to running back, though it was a small sample size near the end of the game. It looked as if the team wanted to run the clock out and take the victory so it could put an end to the tumultuous night.

After the game, the team had an elongated talk. It was undoubtedly emotional as the team walked silently out of the stadium, and several players patted Wedd on the back.

“You don’t coach for 35 years without loving kids,” he said with tears welling up in his eyes. “He’s part of the family. When a family member is hurt, you care for him.”

lead at the end of the third quarter.

“That’s what good teams do,” Lisher said. “The defense stops somebody, and the offense has got to come in and continue the momentum, and we did that tonight.”

Royals continue late surge The Associated Press

Royals 11, White Sox 1 CHICAGO — Bruce Chen allowed two hits in eight innings and Kansas City backed him with four home runs Friday night in a romp over Chicago.

Eric Hosmer, Salvador Perez, Alcides Escobar and Jeff Francoeur connected for the Royals. Kansas City has won nine of 11 overall in a late-season surge.

Chen (12-8) finished 3-1 this season against the White Sox, with all three of the wins at U.S. Cellular Field.

With manager Ozzie Guillen’s future unclear, Chicago has lost 10 of 13.

Hosmer hit a solo shot in the second, his 19th of the season. Perez had a three-run drive in the fourth, his third of the season, and Escobar followed one batter later with his fourth homer of the season.

Francoeur connected for his 20th of the season, a tworun shot, in the fifth.

All of the Royals’ homers came off Zach Stewart, who gave up 12 hits and nine runs and also committed two errors in four-plus innings. Stewart (2-6) lost for the third straight time since pitching a one-hit shutout against the Twins on Sept. 5.

Kansas City finished with 18 hits, four by Moustakas.

NO. 7 OKLAHOMA STATE AT NO. 8 TEXAS A&M

In potential shootout, Sherman expects defenses to step up

Jeff Roberson/AP File Photo

OKLAHOMA LINEBACKER TOM WORT (21) WALKS AWAY as Missouri celebrates a touchdown in this Oct. 23 file photo in Columbia, Mo. Missouri beat Oklahoma, 36-27, and knocked the Sooners from the top spot in the BCS standings. The two teams will meet in a rematch — again with OU No. 1 in the country — tonight in Norman, Okla.

MISSOURI AT NO. 1 OKLAHOMA

Remember this? Upset fresh on Sooners’ minds NORMAN, OKLA. (AP) — The rush onto the field was a long hoped-for release for Missouri fans, a celebration of a monumental upset after so much heartache over the years — and so much recently against Oklahoma.

The Sooners haven’t forgotten.

All-American Ryan Broyles remembers being surrounded by smack-talking fans as he tried to get off of Faurot Field a year ago following the 36-27 loss that knocked Oklahoma from atop the BCS standings and damaged its national championship hopes.

“It’s just not a good deal at all,” Broyles said.

Coach Bob Stoops says he doesn’t want his Sooners (20) — again ranked No. 1, this time in the polls — focused on revenge when they play host to Missouri (2-1) tonight.

“Revenge doesn’t win,” Stoops said. “We got embarrassed the way we played and the way they beat us that we want to play better.”

Still, he and his coaches did take time this week to show players the video of the Tigers’ jubilant fans. Make no mistake: the Sooners want to get even.

“You’re going against a team that beat you last year, prevented you from going to the national championship, and then they still think they have another chance to beat you again,” defensive back Tony Jefferson said. “It gives you more of wanting to win this game.”

Jerrell Jackson, who had

nine catches for 139 yards and the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter last season, provided some bulletinboard material earlier this week by saying he saw “nothing tough” about beating the Sooners in Norman for the first time since 1966.

Oklahoma has a current 37-game winning streak home, the MIZZOU AT at longest in OKLAHOMA the nation.

But it’s not When: 7 tonight as though Where: Norman, O k l a h o m a needed any Okla. more motiTV: FX (chs. vation.

56, 256) “I’m pretty Line: OU by 22 sure they’re not going to forget that loss.

That pretty much hurt their season,” Jackson said. “We understand how they feel because we had a few losses like that.”

Oklahoma spoiled two of the Tigers’ most successful seasons in decades by beating Missouri in the 2007 and 2008 Big 12 championship games. Mizzou was ranked No. 1 for the 2007 game and would have played for the national title if not for its second loss to the Sooners that season.

Beating Oklahoma for the first time in eight tries, and only the second time in 20 meetings, isn’t enough to satisfy the Tigers.

“Nothing from that game is going to motivate us to play this game, because we should already be motivated,” Jackson said. “They’re No. 1 again. That motivates us to go into their house and play them and beat them on their own turf.”

Stoops told his team after a 23-13 win last week at then-No. 5 Florida State — which was trying to avenge a 30-point loss in Norman a year earlier — that “revenge only lasts for those first couple plays and then you still have to play 60 minutes of football,” offensive tackle Donald Stephenson said.

“So, it’s not about revenge for us,” said Stephenson, a Missouri native. “It’s about getting better at what we do and fixing what we need to fix, everything that we didn’t do well last year.”

Mizzou struck immediately last year, with Gahn McGaffie returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and then scored 16 straight points in the fourth quarter to take control of a tie game. Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones didn’t complete a pass in a brutal fourth quarter.

Stoops said the Sooners have to respect Missouri after what happened a year ago.

“To me, that’s arrogant to act like they had no reason to beat us. Sure they did,” he said. “They played better than us. They were tougher than us. They outrushed us.

They coached better than us.

Whatever you want to say.

It has nothing to do with revenge.”

He would be making his first collegiate start in a less-thanfriendly an atmosphere at Clemson’s “Death Valley” stadium. A sold-out and deafening 81,000 raucous fans give the Tigers home field advantage — Florida State hasn’t won there in a decade.

“It will be loud,” Trickett said during a midweek sit down with media that cover the team. “I’ve heard they get louder for Florida State so I’m excited for it.”

Trickett, who is not the most mobile of quarterbacks, figures that Clemson will be after him from the start — especially after Oklahoma sacked him five times in a little more than a quarter after Manuel was hurt in last week’s 23-13 loss to the topranked Sooners.

“They blitzed every play,” said the 20-year-old Trickett, who expects to see a lot of blitzing by Clemson too.

“If I was a defensive coordinator and there was a freshman quarterback in there, I’d do it too,” Trickett, said. “I’ve got to be ready for it.”

Trickett took all the practice snaps this week while Manuel was sidelined with a separated left shoulder he suffered after being tackled on a running play against Oklahoma.

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (AP) — When No. 7 Oklahoma State meets eighth-ranked Texas A&M today, it will be the first Top 10 matchup at Kyle Field since 1975.

Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman couldn’t believe it had been that long.

“That’s news to me,” he said. “That seems like it’s a little long of a wait obviously.”

After such an extended drought, the high stakes game featuring a pair of powerful offenses, who are combining for almost 1,100 yards a game is sure to be shootout. Right?

Not so fast, says Sherman.

“Whenever you say that, you always put a whammy on the game,” he said. “It’ll be a defensive struggle, you watch. The defense will take over whenever you say that. I would say both defenses will rise to the occasion.”

One thing the Aggies know they can count on is a sellout crowd.

“I think back to last year’s Nebraska game. That’s my absolute anticipation for what’s going to happen this week,” Aggies defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter said. “Just the feel of our first two games,

The No. 8 Aggies will play host to No. 7 Oklahoma State at 2:30 p.m. today. when we’re playing two nonconference opponents that in years past people thought ho-hum, and we had unbelievable crowds. This being our first league game, I fully anticipate it’s going to be one of those. I get goose bumps just thinking about it.”

OSU’s coaching staff is working to get the team ready for the noise, but Cowboys’ receiver Tracy Moore says “there’s not a whole lot we can do to prepare for an environment like this.”

Cowboys’ defensive coordinator Bill Young agreed.

“That’s a heck of a place to play, there’s no doubt about it,” he said. “They march the Corps in there and their crowd gets behind the team.

It’s a tough place and we have to get ready for some noise.”

The Cowboys have won three in a row against Texas A&M and six straight overall on the road, but have never won consecutive games in College Station. Both teams were undefeated last year when they opened Big 12 play against one another.

The Cowboys got a 38-35 victory last season largely because of five turnovers

by A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson, including an interception in the last seconds that led to the winning field goal.

That was the start of a three-game losing streak which spurred Sherman into benching the mistake-prone Johnson, a senior, in favor of Ryan Tannehill.

After Johnson’s performance against them last year, the Cowboys see the obvious difference with Tannehill in charge.

“They cut down on their turnovers. They had a ton of turnovers with their previous quarterback,” Young said.

“Not all of them were his fault; some of it was bad luck. But Tannehill is an excellent quarterback, he throws the ball well, moves around the pocket and they’ve got a great group of receivers and running backs to help him out.”

DeRuyter joked that preparing for Oklahoma State’s offense is “not fun at all.”

He said the process is made easier by his defense practicing against Texas A&M’s first team offense in practice.

“They go up tempo, very similar to what Oklahoma State does,” DeRuyter said of the Aggies. “We’ve got some weapons to go against to kind of compare to what they have.

Getting the chance to compete against our guys, if we can have success against our guys we have the confidence we can effectively compete against a team like them.”

Interim commish optimistic about Big 12

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Think Josh Selby versus USC. That’s how strong interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas’ introduction to the media was Friday during an early-evening conference call that lasted about 40 minutes.

In his first act with the league, Neinas, who won’t officially start until Oct. 3, juggled questions with the kind of ease and comfort of a seasoned veteran. Although he answered more inquiries about himself and his role in the conference than what the future would hold, he was not shy with offering up both his thoughts and what he had heard about anything and everything that was asked.

The theme of the call centered around one question: How can this fractured league put the pieces back together?

Neinas had one idea.

“I think it comes down to one word,” he said. “Trust.

Legends CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

like that. At the beginning I was doing all I could to help my team, defensively, offensively. After I hurt my knee, I was not able to do it any more. I’ve done a lot of rehab.

I’m basically back to 100 percent now. It was definitely frustrating for a long period of time, but I’m back now.”

Henry, who started 16 games and averaged 4.3 points a game as a rookie, has been working out hard this summer to be ready when NBA camps open following the current work stoppage.

“I’ve not taken too much time off,” Henry said. “I’m in pretty good shape because

No. 2 OSU upends KU soccer J-W Staff Reports

STILLWATER, OKLA. — Junior Whitney Berry scored in the 77th minute, but Kansas University suffered a 5-1 soccer loss to No. 2-ranked Oklahoma State on Friday night in the Big 12 Conference opener for both teams.

KU fell to 6-4 overall, while OSU moved to 12-0.

The Cowgirls led, 1-0, at the half, but scored four goals in the final 45 minutes in front of 1,388 fans.

OSU has allowed four goals all season.

Jamie Fletcher started the play that set up KU’s goal when she sent a pass to senior Kortney Clifton in the left corner. Clifton couldn’t get a shot off, so she pulled the ball back and passed across the goal mouth where a charging Berry buried a shot low in the left corner, her third score of the season.

KU will play host to Oral Roberts in a nonconference game at 1 p.m. Sunday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

BRIEFLY KU women’s hoops recruits in town Kansas University’s women’s basketball team will have several high school prospects in town this weekend on recruiting visits.

They are: Taya Reimer, 6-foot-2 center, Fishers, Ind.; Jessica Washington, 5-8 guard, Jenks, Okla.; Christa Reed, 5-11 guard, Bay St. Louis, Miss.; KJ Page, 6-2 forward, Wamego; Chatrice White, 6-3 center, Shelby, Neb.; Lamaria Cole, 5-6 guard, Bryan, Texas; and Brandi Goodman, 6-1 center, Troy, Tenn. Reimer is the No. 4-ranked player in the country, while Washington is No. 18. Reed is the top-rated player in Mississippi.

We gotta make sure that there’s a trust that exists between the members.”

Asked if he could help create that, Neinas said, “I can try.”

As for the rest of the call, Neinas was most often asked about Missouri’s intentions, Texas A&M’s likely departure and the idea of equal revenue sharing that’s sure to help shape the future of the Big 12.

Regarding Missouri and the lingering threats of the Tigers leaving for the SEC, Neinas, 76, was matter-offact.

“You’ve gotta be concerned about it,” he said.

Asked next if the league could survive without MU, Neinas responded with confidence.

“Yes, I think it could be viable because there’s a lot of strength in the conference,” he said.

Regarding Texas A&M’s nearly inevitable exit, Neinas, a longtime friend of A&M athletic director Bill Byrne, said he would include the

Aggies on upcoming campus visits that he said he hoped to have wrapped up by the end of October.

“I plan to talk to Bill,” Neinas said. “I don’t know what the answer will be, but if nothing’s ventured, nothing’s gained.”

A s k e d why he would even waste his time meeting with the Aggies, Neinas Neinas said: “They belong in the Big 12.

That’s where they belong.

The history. I’m a history major, and I think their history belongs in the Big 12. They’re from the Southwest Conference. They’re in the state of Texas. That’s where they were born and bred. That’s where they should stay.”

Overall, Neinas had no romantic visions of riding in on a white horse and keeping the league intact as it stands today.

“I think the Aggies are probably gonna go, and I do think Missouri is gonna stay,” he said.

Neinas, who served as the Big Eight commissioner from 1971-80, said he was approached by the Big 12 about the interim commissioner position when it became clear that former commissioner Dan Beebe would step down.

He said he accepted the job because the Big Eight was good to him, and he still had ties with several athletic directors and coaches within the Big 12, a league which Neinas divulged he actually had a hand in helping to create.

Though he emphasized in no uncertain terms that his role with the Big 12 would remain part-time, Neinas said he would not be afraid to roll up his sleeves and make a difference while there.

“They’ve hired me to be the commissioner,” he said.

“I’ll act like a commissioner.

I might be there for the interim, but, for the record,

I know any day now the lockout could end. It could keep going, (but) you might as well be ready. You might as well not take much time off.”

A quick learner, Henry believes he’s ready for a breakout sophomore season with the Grizzlies.

“I get the NBA right now with the game, travel and stuff like that,” the 6-6, 220-pound Henry said. “I still haven’t got a full season under my belt how that’ll be, but I’ve got a good month and a half or so.

I can tell what it’s like to play all the time, practice, fly into places late, play the next day and do back-to-back games.

It’s definitely fun.”

Fifth-year NBA veteran Wright, meanwhile, is an unrestricted free agent. He’s coming off a season in which he averaged 3.6 points a game

in 52 games. He can’t negotiate with any teams until the lockout ends.

He won’t be thinking about his NBA future today, just nostalgia.

“I feel part of the history here,” said Wright, who played at KU in 2005-06 and ‘06-07. “I love it here. It always feels good to be back here before the fans.”

Paul to come back and fall in love with the place again.”

Pierce in the house: Boston Celtics veteran forward Pierce will play today.

“He is a guy I look up to.

His tenacity ... he plays so hard but looks like he’s in slow motion,” Wright said.

“Paul is such a fun guy.

He is very generous in what he does off the court,” noted Oklahoma City Thunder center Aldrich. “On the court he is spectacular. I think this is going to be a great chance for

!

This, that: Recruits who will be in attendance today include three players who have committed to KU — Zach Peters, 6-9 senior forward, Prestonwood Christian High, Plano, Texas; Perry Ellis, 6-8 senior forward, Wichita Heights; and Conner Frankamp, 6-foot junior guard, Wichita North. Also Andrew White, 6-6 senior forward, Miller School, Chester, Va.; Ioannis Papapetrou, 6-6 senior forward, Florida Air Academy, Melbourne, Fla.; Julius Randle, 6-8 junior forward; and Marquan Botley, 5-10 junior guard, both from Prestonwood Christian, will attend. ... Doors open at 2 p.m. for students and 2:30 for the general public. Parking is free.

I’m not afraid to make decisions.”

Before saying he would offer his services in helping the league find its next full-time commissioner, Neinas made sure it was clear where he stood.

“I had a very stress-free job before taking this one,” he said. “I am not a candidate in any way, shape or form on permanent basis.”

As for some of the immediate concerns the Big 12 needs to address, Neinas said he’d been told that the ideal number for the league remained 10 members.

Outside of that, he said he had not been involved in any conversations about expansion to this point. In addition, he said the league was on track to move toward more equitable revenue sharing in its Tier 1 (ABC) and Tier 2 (cable, including FOX and ESPN) television rights and that he anticipated the Tier 3 rights (Longhorn Network) remaining with their owner.

While he recognized the

television rights argument could be a challenge, Neinas did not seem intimidated by the idea of tackling it.

“It takes awhile,” he said.

“Each institution is different.

The idea is to reach a consensus and move forward.”

Neinas’ next move will be to meet with the Big 12’s athletic directors Tuesday and Wednesday in Dallas. Then he’ll kick off his campus visits and start to form a plan for the direction the league needs to head.

“People will tell you on their campus things that they may not tell you in a meeting,” he said. “I like to get a feel for what are their concerns, what are their objectives, where do they think we should be headed. What you do is you try to get as much information as you can and then distill it.”

Asked what he’d think if the Big 12 schools expressed displeasure with his interim leadership, Neinas didn’t hedge.

“They can always fire me,” Neinas said.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Tech QB Doege has KU’s attention

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Although Kansas University’s football team won’t face them for another week, the Texas Tech Red Raiders already have the Jayhawks’ attention.

Speaking with reporters after one of three bye-week practices earlier this week, safety Keeston Terry cut in and finished the question when one reporter started to ask about Tech’s offense.

“Forty-for-44, I know,” said Terry, referring to Texas Tech QB Seth Doege’s NCAA record for pass efficiency which he set in a 59-13 victory against New Mexico on Sept. 17. “Playing Texas Tech, they’re gonna throw the ball around, and you gotta defend that. But 40-for-44, that’s very impressive against anybody.”

Doege set a school record by completing his first 15 passes and went on to finish with a 90.9 completion percentage, the highest in NCAA history for a QB with at least 40 completions.

Doege, a junior, enters this weekend’s game against Nevada third in the Big 12 in total offense. His 364 yards-per-game average puts him second behind Oklahoma State senior Brandon Weeden (385), and his 195.4 passer rating ranks third behind two Baylor Bears, Kendall Wright, a receiver who has completed his only two passes of the season, and Robert Griffin III, who sits at 244.5. KU’s Jordan Webb is one spot behind Doege with a rating of 181.5.

Doege’s numbers most certainly will change at 7 tonight, but his overall mystique likely will not. For his career, which included a handful of starts under former Tech coach and offensive guru Mike Leach in

2009, Doege has completed 104 of 142 passes (73 percent) for 1,154 yards and 10 TDs. With Doege already in their sights, some of the Jayhawks said they’d probably try to watch tonight’s game against Nevada together.

“I’m a big fan of college football, and, when I’m not playing, I like to watch it,” Terry said. “To see things like (Doege’s record) is pretty cool.”

Added KU coach Turner Gill, asked if he thought his players would watch the Red Raiders live: “That’s up to them. I’m sure some of them might get together and watch it, but this is their time. They can do whatever they want with it, and then Sunday we’ll get back to work.”

Terry’s ready.

“Actually, I hope we get the cut-ups this weekend so we can start looking at some film on them,” the Blue Springs, Mo., red-shirt freshman said.

“That loss (to Georgia Tech) has stuck with me, and I’m ready to move past it.”

Jayhawks healing On Wednesday, Gill said he felt several injured players on the Jayhawks’ roster were starting to recover and would be available for the Oct. 1 match-up with Texas Tech.

Senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson (groin) was ruled out for the rest of the season earlier this week, but beyond that, the rest of the Jayhawks on the mend had made good progress during the bye week, most notably senior defensive tackle Patrick Dorsey and freshman wide receiver JaCorey Shepherd.

Also on the list of Jayhawks battling minor injuries are: linebacker Tunde Bakare, center Jeremiah Hatch and cornerback Tyler Patmon.

All are expected to be ready for Texas Tech.

What nonbiblical reading do you recommend to your parishioners?

The Rev. Peter Luckey, senior pastor, Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vt.: I love novels. To describe a novel as fiction is a misnomer, as if a story by being the product of an author’s imagination means it is not true.

Good fiction is truth, the truth about people, about how life really is.

Some novels tackle religious themes explicitly. My top picks include anything

by Flannery O’Connor, Dostoevsky’s “Brothers Karamazov,” Marilynne Robinson’s “Gilead” and John Irving’s “A Prayer for Owen Meany.”

Just because a writer is not religious in a formal sense does not mean his or her writing isn’t brimming with the raw material of faith: hope, love, fear, death, long-

Send your questions about faith and spiritual issues for our religion columnists to religion@ ljworld.com.

I recommend ‘The Path of Celtic Prayer’ by Calvin Miller The Rev. Robert Leiste, pastor, Redeemer Lutheran Church, 2700 Lawrence Ave.: This is not an uncommon question.

Which study Bible? “The Lutheran Study Bible.”

Philosophy? G. K. Chesterton and try his book “Orthodoxy.”

What is a good summary of our understanding of what the Bible teaches? Martin Luther’s “Small Catechism.”

What is a good commentary? Try the “Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture.”

Fiction? Can’t go wrong with C. S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien.

Yet, there is only one book that I have two copies of, one for me and one to loan.

This is my recommendation: “The Path of Celtic Prayer” by Calvin Miller. The book reminded me about the many Leiste and various ways of prayer we have learned from those who went before us such as in the Irish tradition (no, I’m not Irish). These ways are universal to the church as prayer is universal for Christians.

The book points out how prayer can be triple fold in petition reflecting the Trinity within God. There is a sense of everyday life expressed in prayers said from the health of people to livestock (or today we might say livelihood). Set prayers said together as a group is pointed out as a basic part of the life of the Body of Christ. Using other people’s prayers repeated time and time again unites and expresses common needs and hopes. Prayer is a confession of faith, hope and love based on God. — Send email to Robert Leiste at raleiste@ yahoo.com.

Alec Baldwin hosts “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC) for the 16th time.

That’s more than any other host in the history of the comedy showcase, now entering its 37th season. Radiohead appears as musical guest. It’s the band’s second time on the show.

Who says print is dead? And who says HGTV doesn’t have a knack for self-promotion? An hour-long plug that tiptoes pretty darn close to infomercial, “HGTV: The Making of our Magazine” (6 p.m. Saturday) interviews the editors and writers of that new publication while frequently reminding us that it will be available on newsstands Oct. 4. There’s no guarantee that this will make for scintillating television. But for those of us still in the words-on-paper business, it’s nice to know that somebody’s paying attention.

Folks who can’t wait till Monday for Fox’s “Terra Nova” should sample the time-travel fantasy “Morlocks” (8 p.m. Saturday, Syfy). In this shocker, a scientist perfects a time-travel device, only to discover that the future is pretty nasty and the Earth is overrun by humanoid mutants called Morlocks. Even worse, before he can put his contraption into reverse and get himself back to the present, some Morlocks come along for the ride. David Hewlett (“Stargate Atlantis”) stars.

Tonight’s other highlights

College football action (7 p.m., ABC).

A visit to a friend brings grim surprises on “Doctor Who” (8 p.m., BBC America).

Scheduled on “48 Hours Mystery” (9 p.m., CBS): a new season of murder investigations.

Saturday series Surveillance and intervention on “Person of Interest” (7 p.m., CBS) ... A friend in need on “Harry’s Law” (7 p.m., NBC) ... On back-to-back episodes of “Cops” (Fox): armed (7 p.m.), dangerous (7:30 p.m.).

Memory serves on “Unforgettable” (8 p.m., CBS) ... One feisty cop on “Prime Suspect” (8 p.m., NBC) ... Decoration wars on “American Dad” (8 p.m., Fox) ... Domestic duties on “The Cleveland Show” (8:30 p.m., Fox) ... A rape accusation torn from the headlines on “Law & Order: SVU” (9 p.m., NBC).

When I confronted him, I discovered he was also having breakfast, lunch and dinner with her and sometimes going to her apartment for coffee. Even if there was no sex involved, it was wrong.

I was sad, angry and devastated. We talked about it, and he mentioned some things he needed me to change, and I agreed. He says he never touched her and promised to stop contacting her altogether.

They also went shopping together, and she was seen in his car. He still says he didn’t do anything wrong because there was no sex. I am beside myself. I am living with a liar.

Hospital drug shortages deadly, costly

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA STANDS WITH EDUCATORS and students as he speaks about No Child Left Behind reform on Friday in the East Room of the White House in Washington.

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND

Obama allows states to opt out

By Kimberly Hefling Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Nearly everyone agrees the fix needs fixing. The No Child Left Behind law that was supposed to improve American education has left schools grumbling at being labeled “failures,” state officials fuming and complaints everywhere about required testing.

But President Barack Obama’s response on Friday — he’s allowing states to opt out — is starting a new round of heated arguments.

There are questions about whether letting states bypass unpopular proficiency standards will help the nation’s schoolchildren. And, even as states clamor to use the new waiver option, some lawmakers say Obama is inserting politics in what had been a bipartisan approach to education.

At the White House, the president said he was acting only because Congress wouldn’t. He decried the state of U.S. education and called the “No Child” law — a signature legacy of President George W. Bush’s presidency — an admirable but flawed effort that ended up hurting students instead of helping them.

Obama’s announcement could fundamentally affect the education of tens of millions of children. It will allow states to scrap a key requirement that all children show they are proficient in reading and math by 2014 — if those states meet conditions such as imposing their own standards to prepare students for college and careers and setting evaluation standards for teachers and principals.

Kids will still have to take yearly tests in math and reading, although the administration says the emphasis will be more on measuring growth over time.

The impact on school kids could vary greatly depending on how states choose to reward or punish individual schools. Under No Child Left Behind, children who attend schools deemed failures after a set period of time are eligible for extra tutoring and school choice. Under the president’s plan, it’s up to states granted waivers to decide if they will use those same remedies.

A majority of states are expected to apply for waivers, which would be given to those that qualify early next year.

State officials have long complained that if they had more flexibility, they could implement positive changes.

Now, they will have to step up and prove it.

“This is really going to change things because it re-

ally does put responsibility squarely on the states,” said Amy Wilkins, a vice president at Education Trust, a nonprofit that seeks to raise achievement standards in schools.

Officials from Kentucky, Idaho, Wisconsin and Colorado were among those expressing support for the president’s plan Friday.

“I look forward to the federal government narrowing its role in education and allowing Tennessee the flexibility to abide by its own rigorous standards,” Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, a Republican, said at the White House event.

But Rep. John Kline, RMinn., who chairs the House Education Committee, wrote in an editorial Friday published in The Washington Examiner that the plan “could mean less transparency, new federal regulations and greater uncertainty for students, teachers, and state and local officials.”

Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., the ranking member on the Senate committee that oversees education, said the president’s action “clearly politicizes education policy, which traditionally has been a bipartisan issue that attracts support from both parties.”

The president’s plan is likely to feed the story line

by Republicans that Obama is aggressively expanding the presidential footprint, particularly since some people might view it as unconstitutional to go around Congress to get around the law, said Frederick Hess, director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute.

“In pushing this way, the administration makes it likely that education is going to be much more of a partisan divide leading up to the 2012 election,” Hess said.

During Thursday night’s campaign debate in Orlando, Fla., the Republican presidential candidates echoed a common refrain about the federal government’s role in education. Mitt Romney said, “One, education has to be held at the local and state level, not at the federal level.”

Said Rick Perry, “The federal government has no business telling the states how to educate our children.”

Despite allowing states to do away with the approaching 2014 deadline, Obama insisted he was not weakening the law but rather helping states set higher standards.

He said that the current law was forcing educators to teach to the test, give short shrift to subjects such as history and science and lower standards as a way of avoiding penalties and stigmas.

TRENTON, N.J. — A drug for dangerously high blood pressure, normally priced at $25.90 per dose, offered to hospitals for $1,200. Fifteen deaths in 15 months blamed on shortages of life-saving medications.

A growing crisis in the availability of drugs for chemotherapy, infections and other serious ailments is endangering patients and forcing hospitals to buy from secondary suppliers at huge markups because they can’t get the medications any other way.

An Associated Press review of industry reports and interviews with nearly two dozen experts found the shortages — mainly of injected generic drugs that ordinarily are cheap — have delayed surgeries and cancer treatments, left patients in unnecessary pain and caused hospitals to give less effective treatments. That’s resulted in complications and longer hospital stays.

Just over half of the 549 U.S. hospitals responding to a survey this summer by the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, a patient safety group, said they had purchased one or more prescription drugs from so-called “gray market vendors” — companies other than their normal wholesalers.

Most also said they’ve had to do so more often of late, and 7 percent reported side effects or other problems with those drugs.

Hospital pharmacists “are really looking at this as a crisis. They are scrambling to find drugs,” said Joseph Hill of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.

At a hearing Friday before the health subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, hospital officials and other experts testified that the worsening shortages are preventing them from giving many pa-

A BOARD LISTS DRUGS IN SHORT SUPPLY Aug. 29 at the University of Utah Hospital in Salt Lake City. At hospitals across the country, “scoring drugs” has taken on a new meaning.

Hundreds admit buying medicines at exorbitant prices from “gray market” dealers taking advantage of, and possibly exacerbating, a record shortage of life-saving prescription medicines. tients the best care and are driving up costs.

“Considering the nation’s budget crisis and our skyrocketing health care bill, these markups are nothing more than profiteering at the expense of patients and providers who are struggling to afford vital medicines,” said Mike Alkire, chief operating officer of Premier Healthcare Alliance, a group that helps U.S. hospitals and other health providers improve their patient care and finances.

The shortages could cost hospitals at least $415 million a year, he said, citing data from health care providers across the nation. So far, hospitals have been absorbing the extra costs, but they’ll soon have to start passing them on to insurers and patients, according to the American Hospital Association.

The scarcity of mainstay cancer drugs is hurting patients and is halting or dis-

rupting clinical studies of potential new treatments, said Dr. Robert S. DiPaola, director of the Cancer Institute of New Jersey.

“The drug shortages of today can have a ripple effect on the availability of new drugs and treatment combinations tomorrow,” he told the committee.

On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration is holding a meeting with medical and consumer groups, researchers and industry representatives to discuss the shortages and strategies to fight them.

The FDA says the primary cause of the shortages is production shutdowns because of manufacturing problems, such as contamination and metal particles that get into medicine.

Other reasons include theft of prescription drugs from warehouses or during shipment, as well as the “gray market” vendors who buy scarce drugs from small

regional wholesalers, pharmacies or other sources and then sell them to hospitals at many times the normal price.

These sellers may not be licensed, authorized distributors.

In addition, many companies have stopped making generic injected drugs because the profit margins are slim.

Producing them is far more expensive than stamping out pills, and it takes about three weeks to produce a batch.

Making things worse, companies don’t have to notify customers or the FDA that they’ve stopped making a medicine. That means neither FDA nor competitors can fill the gap in time.

Only a half-dozen companies make the vast majority of injected generics. Even if other companies wanted to begin making a drug in short supply, they’re discouraged by the lengthy, expensive process of setting up new manufacturing lines and getting FDA approval.

Challenging Einstein usually a losing venture

By Frank Jordans and Seth Borenstein Associated Press

GENEVA — Betting against Einstein and his theory of relativity is a way to go broke.

For more than a century, everyone from physicists to the Nazi Party — which encouraged the publication of the tract “One Hundred Authors Against Einstein” — has tried to find cracks in his work. And all have failed.

On Thursday, the world’s biggest physics lab unveiled a shocking finding: that one type of subatomic particle was clocked going faster than the speed of light. If true — a big if, even the scientists there concede — it could undercut Einstein’s theories.

Physicist Michio Kaku of City College of New York called it “the biggest challenge to relativity in 100 years.”

Antonio Ereditato, who participated in the European experiment as head of the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics in Bern, knows what is at stake. After his team fielded two hours of technical questions, some a bit sharp, from a skeptical audience Friday, Ereditato had a beer in hand and was asked about the idea that his work was challenging the secular saint of modern physics.

“Yes, that’s why I’m concerned,” he said with a laugh.

IN THIS DEC. 28, 1934, FILE PHOTO, ALBERT EINSTEIN delivers a lecture at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in the auditorium of the Carnegie Institute of Technology Little Theater at Pittsburgh. Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, the world’s largest physics lab, say they have clocked subatomic particles, called neutrinos, traveling faster than light, a feat that, if true, would break a fundamental pillar of science, the idea that nothing is supposed to move faster than light, at least according to Einstein’s special theory of relativity: The famous E=mc2 equation.

There’s a long history of experimental results that at first seem to contradict relativity, only later to be found to fit neatly with the theory Albert Einstein loved for its

simplicity and elegance.

“It’s dangerous to lay odds against Einstein,” said Rob Plunkett, a physicist at the Fermilab near Chicago who has tried similar speed-oflight experiments and will now try to test the new findings.

Even Einstein himself was wrong in 1929 when he called his cosmological constant his “biggest blunder.” He introduced the constant in his general relativity theory as a force that keeps the universe from collapsing. In 1998, new findings showed that the universe is accelerating and that in general Einstein’s “blunder” wasn’t a mistake.

Harvard University science historian Peter Galison said Einstein’s relativity theories have been challenged and “pushed on as hard as any theory in the history of physical sciences ever” and they have survived.

The elegance of Einstein’s theory and its proven track record are why nearly every one of the more than a dozen physicists contacted by The Associated Press about the new findings has been cautious, skeptical or downright disbelieving.

The research is the result of a collaboration between France’s National Institute for Nuclear and Particle Physics Research and Italy’s Gran Sasso National Laboratory.

The scientists fired a beam of neutrinos 454 miles underground from Geneva to Italy. They found it traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than light. That’s 60 billionths of a second, a time no human brain could register.

“You could say it’s peanuts, but it’s not. It’s something that we can measure rather accurately with a small uncertainty,” Ereditato told the AP. On Friday, hundreds of scientists packed an auditorium at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on the Swiss-French border to hear the details. Physicists on the team said they were as surprised as their skeptics about the results, which appear to violate the laws of nature as we know them.

Going faster than light is something that is just not supposed to happen, according to Einstein’s 1905 special theory of relativity.

The speed of light — 186,282 miles per second — has long been considered the cosmic speed limit.

“If you find some matter particle such as the neutrino going faster than light, this is something which immediately shocks everybody, including us,” Ereditato said.

The experiment needs to be independently reviewed — most likely by teams in the U.S. or Japan.

Calif. bill would allow minors to seek STD prevention without parental consent

By Judy Lin and Sheila V. Kumar Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. — Heated debate in the Republican presidential race over child vaccinations also is playing out in California as Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown considers whether to a sign a bill allowing children as young as 12 to get vaccinated against sexually transmitted diseases without their parents’ consent.

Religious leaders, pro-family organizations and GOP lawmakers have warned the

change would erode the rights of parents to be involved in their children’s medical decisions. Supporters say the legislation is needed to keep up with new prevention treatments and help slow the spread of STDs among minors.

The bill passed the California Legislature along mostly party lines and now is on Brown’s desk. He has until Oct. 9 to act on AB499, and has not signaled his intent.

Currently, California minors are allowed to seek diagnosis and treatment for STDs such as the human papillomavirus, known as HPV,

without parental consent but cannot get vaccinated without their parents’ approval.

HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer.

“I don’t think we should be playing Russian roulette with kids’ lives,” said Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, a Democrat from San Diego who authored the legislation.

Opponents say the push for inoculation by medical officers and women’s health advocates tramples on parents’ rights. Just as minors cannot get a tattoo or piercing without parental approval under California law, op-

ponents say parents should be involved in a child’s medical care, whether it’s treatment for a migraine or sexually transmitted disease.

“Our children need the knowledge and wisdom of their parents in order to make complicated medical decisions,” wrote Los Angeles Archbishop Jose Gomez in an online newsletter. “This legislation would leave our children to make these decisions without the benefit of their parents’ wisdom.”

Although the California bill was introduced back in February, vaccinating mi-

nors became a hot national topic recently when Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann attacked Texas Gov. Rick Perry for issuing a 2007 executive order mandating the HPV vaccine for young girls.

That mandate was overturned by Texas lawmakers, but Perry said during a GOP debate that supporting the vaccinations means supporting life.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease.

According to the bill’s author, HPV has become the world’s second leading cause of can-

cer deaths among women. It was blamed for more than 400 deaths in California in 2008, the latest year for which statistics are available.

Two vaccines are available.

One is licensed as Gardasil by Merck and the other is Cervarix, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. They are most effective if given before a person becomes sexually active.

If Brown signs into law, minors also would be able to get other STD prevention treatments, including new medicines that help prevent HIV infection if given within 72 hours of exposure.
