HUNDREDS OF AREA CYCLISTS left their cars behind as they lined up in Broken Arrow Park for the start of the annual Octoginta bicycle ride Sunday. The ride, which began in Broken Arrow Park, featured routes of both 40 and 80 miles in length that wound through Lawrence and the surrounding countryside and offered a scenic tour of Douglas County.

EPA job a whole new environment for professor

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Attached to Karl Brooks’ hip is a ringing, buzzing reminder of how much his life has changed in the past year and a half.

When you’re a professor of environmental history and policy at Kansas University, hardly anyone but your wife wants to know where you are, Brooks said. But that changes significantly when you become the Region 7 Administrator for the Environmental Protection Agency.

“The administrator (Lisa Jackson) made it really clear, when I got sworn in, that she expected to be in pretty much instant communication with me if she needed to. And so I have this on whenever I’m awake,” Brooks said of his Blackberry. “That’s been a big change. ” A year and half ago, Brooks commuted five minutes to KU, where he lectured in a classroom and then returned to his office to do research and write. He traveled on business maybe twice a year and did his own typing, copying and mailing.

He now has a secretary who handles those duties, plus answers his phone calls and schedules his day in tight 15-minute increments. He

Another funding deadline looms for Kansas arts officials The National Endowment for the Arts has given the Kansas Arts Commission an extended deadline TOPEKA — The clock is — Oct. 31 — to submit a partnership proposal to be ticking toward another cru- eligible for federal funding in the next fiscal year, cial deadline for the Kansas according to arts officials.

Arts Commission, which already lost a year’s worth of federal matching dollars — approximately $1.2 million — because of Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of state funding.

The National Endowment for the Arts has given the Kansas Arts Commission an

extended deadline — Oct. 31 — to submit a partnership proposal to be eligible for federal funding in the next fiscal year, according to arts officials.

But the chances of the

Arts Commission writing a detailed and comprehensive plan by that deadline is slim, said Mary Kennedy McCabe, executive director of the Mid-America Arts Alliance, a regional arts organization

that serves as a conduit of federal arts dollars.

“The Kansas Arts Commission is currently without paid staff and without a budget,” McCabe said. “To rely solely on the time and energy of volunteers, who may never have written a highly rigorous federal grant application, would be certain failure,” she said.

In May, Brownback vetoed the Kansas Arts Commission budget of $689,000, mak-

ing Kansas the only state to defund the arts. Above the protest of many in the Legislature and arts organizations across the state, Brownback said arts funding wasn’t a core function of state government, private dollars would make up for the loss of state funds, and the governor indicated that Kansas would still be eligible for federal dollars.

But the National Endowment for the Arts declined to recognize the Arts Com-

mission for federal matching funds this fiscal year because the commission did not have a plan, staff, budget or grantmaking strategies in place, McCabe said.

If the lack of federal funding continues for a second year, McCabe said, that would worsen the cultural situation for Kansas.

“I knew that there would be a lot of activity,” Brooks said. “And that was one of the reasons I was interested in the position because I saw it as an opportunity to be involved with the agency at a very important time.”

In the past two weeks, Brooks, who still lives in Lawrence, has spoken about his new job to two local community groups, the Jayhawk Audubon Society and Lawrence Rotary Club.

Both times, he acknowledged the criticism of the EPA and noted his boss, Jackson, has testified in front of Congress more times than any other department head in President Barack Obama’s Cabinet.

“Our agency right now is as controversial as any government agency in the last quarter century. And I can say that. I’m a historian,” Brooks quipped to the Audubon society.

Brooks doesn’t like using the word “defend” in describing how he talks about the EPA’s work.

“Explaining is how I see it,” he said and went on to describe a meeting not so long ago with some of Iowa’s biggest industry and business leaders.

“What I felt walking into that meeting is what I would feel walking into a law class.

It was a chance to educate about the work we are doing. Explain things about our work that people might not have understood about the EPA. And then to answer questions,” Brooks said.

“That is very much like a classroom setting.”

vironmental regulations have been under scrutiny. Early in his administration, Gov. Sam Brownback established a task force to determine how the regulations affected economic growth in the state.

More recently, Kansas farmers have expressed their concerns over EPA rules that they fear could regulate farm dust, fertilizer use and even milk spills.

And last month, Attorney General Derek Schmidt filed a federal lawsuit to block the EPA’s Cross-State Air Pollution rule because he said it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars in new emission control equipment. In the end, energy costs would rise.

In general, Brooks said, the EPA’s need to control pollution is less obvious today than at a time when rivers caught on fire and smoke clouds filled the noontime air.

The key in regulating something as toxic and invisible as mercury, Brooks said, is showing people the science behind the rules and illustrating how regulating it will make people healthier and safer. Eliminating mercury from the air will save billions of dollars on medical bills and on lost time at work, he said.

“At a time when Americans are rightly concerned about paying their bills, educating their kids, enjoying opportunity, the challenge the EPA needs to meet is to show how protecting health and safety is a good investment in America,” Brooks said.

As I say to farm “audiences, don’t worry about what the agency has not done in the past and has no plans to do in the future.

Focus on real issues.”

— EPA administrator Karl Brooks

ers would have to follow the same protocol as oil companies in cleaning up a spill by building contamination facilities, training first responders and enacting emergency plans.

But Brooks said the EPA eliminated a regulation that had been on the books for 35 years.

“But our positive reform was distorted by some lobbyists as a new regulation, or a new plan for regulation,” Brooks said. “What I tried to do, what the administrator tried to do is set the record straight. This should be a benefit that the dairy industry has wanted for a long time.”

Cross-state air pollution In September, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt filed a federal lawsuit over the EPA’s air-pollution rule requiring utilities in 27 states to clean up emissions from power plants. The regulation was enacted over concerns that air pollution drifting across state lines — mainly nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide — was causing health problems.

Schmidt said that utilities would have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in new emission control technology to meet the Jan. 1 deadline.

Utility companies wouldn’t be able to comply with that deadline, Schmidt said, and ultimately Kansans would pay more for out-of-state electricity.

While Brooks said he couldn’t comment specifically on the lawsuit, he defended the regulation noting that studies have shown that energy rates will be less than

what has been projected. And cleaner air leads to substantially more economic benefits through a healthier workforce, more days at work and more economic innovation.

Nutrient loads This summer’s blue green algae outbreak at Milford Lake, which resulted in the deaths of several dogs and suspected human illnesses, and raised concerns about the safety of the drinking water downstream should be a concern to Kansans, Brooks said.

“These are wake-up calls to Kansans to manage nutrient pollutants better,” Brooks said. “If we don’t pay attention to these warning signals, we are going to miss an opportunity to make a difference.”

Increased nutrients in the water — either from sewer discharge or from fertilizers applied upstream — can boost algal growth.

Some are worried that the federal government will set a maximum amount on how much nutrients should be allowed in water.

In a speech this summer, John Mitchell, director of the environment division at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the state needed to start reducing nutrient loads “or someone from the federal level is going to do it for us.”

Brooks said he wants to take a similar approach to nutrient loads as the EPA did with controlling smoke pollution from springtime burning in the Flint Hills. In that case, the EPA and other local and state agencies met with stakeholders and established a system that allowed agriculture producers to continue burning without permits, but provided better data on where the smoke went and when it would be most harmful to burn.

“Stakeholders would negotiate agreements to reduce nutrient loading using all the different techniques that we now have available to us,” Brooks said.

Bert Nash event aids mental health efforts

Dozens killed in worst riots since ouster Flames lit up downtown Cairo, where massive clashes raged Sunday, drawing Christians angry over a recent church attack, Muslims and Egyptian security forces. At least 24 people were killed and more than 200 injured in the worst sectarian violence since the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak in February.

The rioting lasted late into the night, bringing out a deployment of more than 1,000 security forces and armored vehicles to defend the state television building along the Nile, where the trouble began. The military clamped a curfew on the area until 7 a.m.

The clashes spread to nearby Tahrir Square, drawing thousands of people to the vast plaza that served as the epicenter of the protests that ousted Mubarak. On Sunday night, they battled each other with rocks and firebombs, some tearing up pavement for ammunition and others collecting stones in boxes.

Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt’s 80 million people, blame the country’s ruling military council for being too lenient on those behind a spate of anti-Christian attacks since Mubarak’s ouster. As Egypt undergoes a chaotic power transition and security vacuum in the wake of the uprising, the Coptic Christian minority is particularly worried about the show of force by ultraconservative Islamists.

Project aims to collect, analyze black writers’ works

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Maryemma Graham, an English professor at Kansas University, has been working for 30 years to track down novels written by black writers. In fact, she’d like to get all of them.

At least, that’s how the idea began.

“There’s no way that we can complete that goal,” Graham acknowledged this week.

She’s the leader of KU’s Project on the History of Black Writing. Though the project lists more than 1,050 novels on its website, it claims about 3,000 works overall, including some rare books that are not housed at KU, but rather at other sites. The project has taken a different turn today, expanding its mission.

The group draws on its extensive collection and has begun examining them and putting on workshops for high school teachers. A recent workshop focused on author

But they kept coming. BeRamsby said that the tween 1970 and 1980, Graham project has agreements guesses another 3,000 were

written. And then another 6,000 between 1980 and 1990.

“We know that it’s doubled, tripled, quadrupled,” she said.

It’s not the largest collection of novels by black writers, she said. That distinction likely belongs to the Schomburg Center in New York, she said. But what KU’s project has that the Schomburg Center doesn’t is the analysis made of the works, Graham said. Through the years, graduate students have helped to organize the works by author, by date and by thematic material, to make it easier for people interested in studying the novels.

And how many of the works in the collection has Graham actually read?

“That’s an interesting question,” she said. “I have read, over 30 years, maybe about a fourth (of the works).”

Topeka land bank could help distressed properties TOPEKA — Topeka officials are looking into having the city acquire distressed properties, so they can be fixed up and resold for a small profit.

It’s a lot like “flipping” a home. But assistant city manager Randy Speaker prefers to describe it as redevelopment,

time to build, but was far cheaper and already filled with memories.

“They said, ‘We never could have done this in a conventional manner. We never could have taken out a loan for hundreds of thousands of dollars. We did it this way, and we love our home,’” Kellner said.

The first piece of advice Kellner gives is to find a shed to store the reclaimed materials and then make connections to the people who are throwing out items in the landfill.

Kellner wrote about an Idaho couple who was able to obtain much of their building materials from a 10,000-square-foot home that was being deconstructed in Jackson, Wyo. Five years after they finished building their home, phone calls kept coming in about quality items that were slated for the dump.

“People don’t want to waste things. People don’t feel comfortable just throwing 10-year-old high efficiency windows in the landfill. No one likes that.

So (people) would call and say ‘Can you use them?

We don’t want to throw it

removing blight or restoring property to the tax rolls.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Speaker plans to ask to the city council to consider at some point the creation of a “land bank.” That’s a state-approved mechanism that allows a municipality to acquire distressed

or seized property, remove unpaid taxes, and hold the property tax-free while it is upgraded.

Eventually, the home is resold and returned to the tax rolls.

Speaker says there will be startup costs for the program but that eventually it could become self-sustaining.

“

People don’t want to waste things. People don’t feel comfortable just throwing 10-year-old high efficiency windows in the landfill. No one likes that.”

— Jessica Kellner, editor of the Topeka-based magazine Natural Home & Garden and author of “Housing Reclaimed” away,’” Kellner said.

Kellner, who lives in Lawrence, doesn’t have a home built of reclaimed materials.

But much of her furniture and decorations are from antique stores. And, the previous owner, who remodeled the house, used reclaimed wood on the lofts and light fixtures.

That’s one way to start small, she said.

“We have made so much stuff that pretty much everything we need, you would be able to find it used or you would be able to find it at an antique store,” she said Case in point: Kellner was able to furnish the dining room, including a table, buffet and chairs, for less than $60.

“It is probably less expensive, it is going to have a history, and it is going to probably fit into the look of my house better,” Kellner said of what she finds at antique stores versus traditional retail stores.

From there Kellner said homeowners might want to

consider using reclaimed materials for remodeling or additions. The Idaho couple Kellner featured in the book built a guest house and office out of an old grain bin. She also said old shipping containers could be use for a second structure.

“If you wanted to go a little bit further but not the whole way toward building a house, that might be one way to experiment,” Kellner said.

Above all, Kellner said to be open-minded and creative in what materials can be used in a home. One of the affordable housing organizations in Kellner’s book accepted 15,000 unwanted CDs that were later used to create a mosaic.

“You don’t have to do everything the standard way,” Kellner said.

Kellner’s book can be purchased at Amazon.com or through the publisher’s website newsociety.com.

So, what do these lifelong friends do?

“He takes me for a walk,” she said with a grin, and after some more thought added: “When I have food around — he begs.”

Sunday’s event raised funds for both the Lawrence Humane Society and the Lawrence Community Shelter.

“I just went out to the shelter, and he picked us,” Swarts said of her four-legged friend.

“He’s very personable and obedient.” Besides sitting and lying down on command, he gives a high-five.

to think outside the box to develop new and innovative ways to promote the arts in Kansas” said Kathy Herzog, vice chair of the Kansas Arts Commission.

As far as working with the National Endowment for the Arts, Herzog said there was “nothing new to report at this time.”

Linda Browning Weis, who is chair of the Arts Commission and president of the Arts Foundation, said the founda-

tion has accomplished many goals, including getting its nonprofit status approved by the Internal Revenue Service.

The foundation also is nearing completion of a “responsible gift policy” and development of a new website.

“Great accomplishments take time,” she said. “We will do this right, well, and in a spirit of harmony,” she said.

! Carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to the flu and can include headaches, dizziness, nausea and shortness of breath. If you feel better once you go outside but worse when you return inside, carbon monoxide exposure is likely causing your symptoms. ! Open windows and doors to ventilate or evacuate your home in severe cases and call 911. Also seek immediate medical treatment for anyone who has severe symptoms.

Fire safety: ! When you buy a portable

Corps to hold meetings on Mo. River OMAHA, NEB. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is likely to get an earful when it holds public meetings on its plan for managing the Missouri River next year because many people have criticized the way the agency handled this year’s record flooding.

Several hundred thousand acres of land were swamped and hundreds of homes had to be evacuated. The fact that the flooding started in the spring and continued into fall only made matters worse.

The corps manages the more than 2,300-mile-long river, which flows from Montana through North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. Corps officials say they had to release massive amounts of water from the dams along the river to deal

with unexpectedly heavy spring rains and melt from an above-average snowpack.

“The amount of runoff that came into the system this year was the highest level we have seen in 114 years of detailed record keeping,” said Jody Farhat, chief of the corps’ Missouri River water management division.

The floodwaters began retreating only in the past few weeks, and it may be midto-late October before the flooding ends.

The corps will hold eight public meetings in cities along the river between Oct. 24 and Nov. 3. Each of the events will include an afternoon open house where people can meet one-on-one with corps officials and an evening presentation and question-and-answer session.

The draft plan the corps developed for the river next year calls for drawing the reservoirs down enough to get rid of the floodwater collected this year, but the corps decided not to clear out any additional flood-storage space in the reservoirs beyond the usual 16.3 million acre feet of water.

The corps will record public comments made during the meeting. People also can submit written comments through Nov. 25 via email to Missouri.Water.Management@nwd02.usace.army. mil.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

BRIEFLY Obama thanks civil rights icon ATLANTA (AP) — The Rev. Joseph Lowery was one of the first believers that a black senator from Illinois could become president, and Barack Obama was among those adding his thanks to the civil rights icon Sunday night during a tribute to Obama the 90-yearold’s legacy.

Lowery, whose birthday was Thursday, was praised for his continued fight against hunger, poverty, racism and injustice. He has lived to see an end to segregation and the rise of the nation’s first black president, and says there is still work for him to do on issues of social justice and equality.

In a brief video tribute for the hundreds in attendance, Obama thanked Lowery for his friendship and counsel.

“I don’t know where I’d be without your support and advice,” Obama said. “I don’t know where this country would be without your leadership.”

Obama awarded Lowery, who turned 90 on Thursday, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2010. Lowery was an early and staunch supporter of the president during his historic 2008 campaign for the White House and gave the benediction at Obama’s inauguration.

Lowery told the audience that he believed America would “come home to herself” before 2012 and re-elect Obama.

McCartney weds in civil ceremony LONDON (AP) — A hint of autumnal Beatlemania was in the air Sunday as Paul McCartney, for the second time in his improbable life, climbed the steps of venerable Old Marylebone Town Hall to take himself a bride.

True, thousands of heartbroken female fans crowded the columned building in 1969 when he married Linda Eastman, and only a few hundred showed up Sunday as he wed another American, Nancy Shevell, at the very same registry office.

But the feeling this time was not regret at the loss of a bachelor heartthrob. Instead there was joy that McCartney, regarded as a national treasure and revered the world over, seemed happy again.

The 69-year-old former Beatle appeared proud, content and eager to share his joy with the crowd, raising his bride’s hand in triumph as he walked down the steps after they became man and wife in a simple civil ceremony attended by close family and friends, including drummer Ringo Starr and Barbara Walters, a second cousin of the bride.

“I feel absolutely wonderful,” McCartney told fans as he arrived at his home after the ceremony. He was expected to sing a new song he had composed for his bride at the reception.

Deficit supercommittee Unemployed seek protection against prejudice in job search struggles as clock ticks

By Andrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The supercommittee is struggling.

After weeks of secret meetings, the 12-member deficitcutting panel established under last summer’s budget and debt deal appears no closer to a breakthrough than when talks began last month.

While the panel members themselves aren’t doing much talking, other lawmakers, aides and lobbyists closely tracking the committee are increasingly skeptical, even pessimistic, that the panel will be able to meet its assigned goal of at least $1.2 trillion in deficit savings over the next 10 years.

The reason? A familiar deadlock over taxes and cuts to major programs like Medicare and the Medicaid health care program for the poor and disabled.

Democrats won’t go for an agreement that doesn’t include lots of new tax revenue; Republicans are just as ardently anti-tax. The impasse over revenues means that Democrats won’t agree to cost curbs on popular entitlement programs like Medicare.

“Fairness has to be a prerequisite for it,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. “We have just come through passing a bill that was (all spending) cuts, no revenue.” Pelosi was referring to the August debt-limit bill, which set tight “caps” on agency budgets but didn’t contain revenue increases pressed by Democrats.

Democrats are more insistent on revenues now.

“There’s been no movement on revenues, and I’m not sure the Democrats will agree to anything without revenues,” added a Democratic lobbyist who required anonymity to speak candidly.

Asked last week whether she is confident that the panel can hit its $1.2 trillion goal, co-chairman Sen. Patty Mur-

“

I am confident that the public is watching us very closely to see if we can show this country that this democracy can work. I carry that weight on my shoulders every day and so does every member of this committee.”

— Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. ray, D-Wash., sidestepped the question.

“I am confident that the public is watching us very closely to see if we can show this country that this democracy can work,” Murray told reporters. “I carry that weight on my shoulders every day and so does every member of this committee.”

The two parties have equal strength on the panel, which has until Thanksgiving to come up with a plan to submit for up-or-down House and Senate votes in December. That means bipartisan compromise is a prerequisite for a successful result.

Thus far, say aides to panel members and other lawmakers, neither side has demonstrated the required flexibility in the super-secret talks.

The $1.2 trillion target evolved after efforts by President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to strike a so-called grand bargain on taxes and spending fell apart in July.

Those discussions and earlier talks led by Vice President Joe Biden identified numerous options for cutting the deficit. They included requiring federal workers to contribute more to their retirement, cutting farm subsidies, auctioning broadcast spectrum and curbing payments to Medicare providers like skilled nursing facilities, rural hospitals and home health care services.

Connecticut not backing down from fight with Amazon on new tax law

By Susan Haigh Associated Press

HARTFORD, CONN. — Connecticut officials are not giving up on requiring Internet sellers to collect state sales taxes, despite signs from online retailer Amazon.com that it has no immediate plans to abide by the state’s new Internet tax law.

State officials confirmed to The Associated Press that Amazon wrote the Department of Revenue Services this month, saying the company is not obligated to abide by the law because it does not have a physical presence in Connecticut. Amazon contends that by not having a physical presence, it does not have to collect and remit taxes to the state, a protection of the U.S. Constitution.

Connecticut plans to press Zsa Zsa Gabor Amazon for the taxes the may leave hospital state believes it should have collected at least during the LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zsa month or so when the new Zsa Gabor’s husband says law was in effect and Amathe 94-year-old actress is zon still had affiliations with resting after undergoing an websites in Connecticut operation at a Los Angeles through its Amazon Associhospital where she also is ates Program.

“They’re not fighting against a burden on their ability to do business in the state of Connecticut,” Sullivan said. “They’re fighting to protect an advantage against everybody else who’s doing business in the state of Connecticut.”

Cash-strapped states across the country are grappling with how to capture the sales tax revenues that go uncollected from online purchases, with at least six states enacting laws similar to Connecticut’s as of June, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. NCSL estimates that all states are losing $23 billion each year, a figure that climbs annually as more people shop on the Internet instead of in their local stores, said Neil Osten, director of NCSL’s Washington, D.C., office.

Connecticut, he said, is estimated to lose $152 million a year from uncollected sales taxes from Internet retailers that don’t currently collect the tax.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who pushed for the Internet tax law as part of his budget plan to fill a $3.3 billion deficit, said he’s committed to the cause for the long haul and believes Connecticut and other states will eventually win the battle.

“This is our initial request, their initial response. This has got miles to go before we sleep,” Malloy said in an interview. “I also believe there are trends at play in the United States that are going to move in the right direction to dissipate the unfair advantage that these kinds of retailers have over job-producers in our state.”

WASHINGTON — After two years on the unemployment rolls, Selena Forte thought she’d found a temporary job at a delivery company that matched her qualifications.

But Forte, a 55-year-old from Cleveland, says a recruiter for an employment agency told her she would not be considered for the job because she had been out of work too long. She had lost her job driving a bus.

“They didn’t even want to hear about my experience,” said Forte. “It didn’t make sense. You’re always told just go out there and get a job.”

Forte, scraping by now as a part-time substitute school bus driver, is part of a growing number of unemployed or underemployed Americans who complain they are being screened out of job openings for the very reason they’re looking for work in the first place. Some companies and job agencies prefer applicants who already have jobs, or haven’t been jobless too long.

Help in jobs bill?

She could get help from a provision in President Barack Obama’s jobs bill, which would ban companies with 15 or more employees from refusing to consider — or offer a job to — someone who is unemployed.

The measure also applies to employment agencies and would prohibit want ads that disqualify applicants just because they are unemployed.

But Obama’s bill faces a troubled path in Congress, as Republicans strongly oppose its plans for tax increases on the wealthy and other spending provisions. Should the bill fail, Democrats are sure to remind jobless voters that the GOP blocked an attempt to redress discrimination

AFTER TWO YEARS ON THE UNEMPLOYMENT ROLLS, Selena Forte, 55, thought she had the right experience for a temporary job opening at FedEx. But Forte, pictured above at her home in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday, says a job recruiter told her the company wouldn’t consider her because she had been out of work too long. against them at a time when work is so hard to find.

The effort to protect the unemployed has drawn praise from workers’ rights advocates, but business groups say it will just stir up needless litigation by frustrated job applicants. The provision would give those claiming discrimination a right to sue, and violators would face fines of up to $1,000 per day, plus attorney fees and costs.

“Threatening business owners with new lawsuits is not going to help create jobs and will probably have a chilling effect on hiring,” said Cynthia Magnuson, spokeswoman for the National Federation of Independent Business. “Business owners may be concerned about posting a new job if they could face a possible lawsuit.”

‘Must be employed’ A survey earlier this year by the National Employment Law Project found more than 150 job postings on employment websites such

as CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com requiring that applicants “must be currently employed” or using other exclusionary language based on current employment status.

“It’s really alarming to us that employers continue to ignore the strong public condemnation of this practice,” said Maurice Emsellem, the legal group’s policy co-director.

The issue has gained more prominence as the unemployment level remains stuck at more than 9 percent and a record 4.5 million people — nearly one-third of the unemployed — have been out of work for a year or more. And older workers, like Forte, often struggle to find new jobs.

“There’s a flood of workers looking for jobs right now, and unfortunately, this is a convenient way to streamline the process” by employers, Emsellem said. Some companies might assume people who have been out of work for several months may not be stellar performers, he said.

OCCUPY WALL STREET

Seasoned activists critique protests NEW YORK (AP) — To veterans of past social movements, the Occupy Wall Street protests that began in New York and spread nationwide have been a welcome response to corporate greed and the enfeebled economy. But whether the energy of protesters can be tapped to transform the political climate remains to be seen.

“There’s a difference between an emotional outcry and a movement,” said Andrew Young, who worked alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a strategist during the civil rights movement and served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. “This is an emotional outcry. The difference is organization and articulation.”

The nearly four-week-old protest that began in a lower Manhattan park has taken on a semblance of organization and a coherent message has largely emerged: That “the 99 percent” who struggle daily as the economy shudders, employment stagnates and medical costs rise are suffering as the 1 percent who control the vast majority of the economy’s wealth continues to prosper.

The growing cohesiveness and profile of the protest have caught the attention of public intellectuals and veterans of past social movements.

“I think if the idea of the movement is to raise the discontent that a lot of people from different walks of life and different persuasions have on the economic inequity in this country — it’s been perfect,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, who plans to broadcast his nationally syndicated radio show from the park today and five days later lead a jobs march in Washington, D.C. He said he felt it was necessary to be there to talk about

how blacks and Latinos are also buffeted by economic difficulties.

“I think it is more a movement to show dissatisfaction.

I think that is effective and useful,” he said.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson said the protest was a growing success. “There is a legitimacy to their demands for economic reconstruction,” he said, with the analysis of the problems in the economic system “dead on,” as he wrote in a commentary.

He said the protest could become a powerful movement if “it remains disciplined, focused and nonviolent — and turns some of their pain into voting power.”

Debate stakes high for GOP field

EDITORIALS

Tricky transfer City officials need to be more transparent about their reasons and their method for transferring money from utility payments into the general fund.

T

he cost of turning on a faucet or flushing a toilet has become a source of confusion for Lawrence residents.

The process remains as simple as ever, but trying to figure out how Lawrence consumers are billed for water and sewer services has become difficult. The city has introduced this confusion by proposing a policy that would require the city-owned water and sewer utility to make a special payment each year to the city’s general coffers. The payment would be an attempt to approximate how much the utility would pay in city property taxes if it were a privately owned company.

City commissioners recently balked at approving the proposed policy, and they were wise to do so. But they stopped far short of disposing of the idea, which is likely to be discussed again.

Here is an important point in that discussion: The city already is requiring the utility to make such a payment. No policy is in place that creates the rationale for the payment, but it has been occurring on a regular basis since David Corliss took over as city manager in late 2006.

The city’s auditor began highlighting the lack of a policy in 2009 and noted that the amount of money transferred out of the city’s utility fund seems high compared to other communities. The auditor called for a policy to be created, but it took years for one to be proposed.

It has been disappointing how city management and commissioners have handled this issue. Their efforts have lacked, and continue to lack, transparency. The proposed policy essentially rationalizes the payment-in-lieu of taxes provision by arguing that Lawrence is a great community and surely the city’s water and sewer utility benefits from being in a great community. Thus, the utility ought to pay property taxes that support those services — everything from parks and recreation to the police department — that help make this community great.

But in reality, it is likely that another thought has entered the minds of city leaders. Lawrence’s largest employer and property owner, Kansas University, does not pay property taxes. However, it does pay a monthly water and sewer bill. KU not only provides many benefits to Lawrence and its economy, but also creates some challenges for the city’s tax base.

KU is the city’s largest water and sewer customer, so the university will pay a healthy share, through its monthly rates, of the estimated $1 million the city will collect to make its payment in lieu of taxes. The problem, however, is that ordinary residents who already pay property taxes also will be paying higher-than-necessary water and sewer rates in order for the city utility to make that payment. City commissioners should think long and hard about whether that is fair.

The proposed policy also has another glaring problem. The policy proposes only that the city utility make a payment that is equivalent to the city property taxes it would pay as a private company. But if the utility were a private company, it would pay property taxes to the county and the school district as well. If the city’s general services benefit the water and sewer utility, surely the county and school district’s services do as well. So, why would a fair policy only attempt to compensate the city for unpaid taxes? Perhaps because this policy doesn’t have much to do with equity but rather is an attempt to justify transferring one million ratepayer dollars into the city’s general fund.

The issue is not black and white. It is admirable that the city is looking for ways to fund its operations without raising property taxes, which come with their own flaws and inequities, but city commissioners should start over on this proposed policy. They should start the process by being honest about what they are trying to accomplish and then explore whether there are more equitable ways to meet their goals.

EXETER, N.H. — No Chris Christie. No Jeb Bush, no Mitch Daniels, no George Pataki. No Paul Ryan either. Nor Sarah Palin. There’ll be no reset for the Republicans. The GOP presidential field is set.

So when the Republican candidates square off at Dartmouth College Tuesday night there will be no echoes from the dog that didn’t bark. There is no such dog, he has no bark and, because that seems beyond doubt, Tuesday’s debate likely marks the beginning of the last phase of the campaign before balloting commences.

This new phase, which will position the candidates before the first caucuses in Iowa and

“

The Republican race thus far has been a marathon of heartbreak hills. Some of the broken hearts were produced by harriers who hurried to the sidelines.”

the first primary in New Hampshire, provides the two leading contenders with the challenge of sharpening their positions, solidifying their bases and maneuvering for advantage in the fight for a presidential nomination that, with President Barack Obama’s poor ratings, is an even shinier prize than it might otherwise be against an incumbent. It also provides the second-tier candidates with their last, best chance to position themselves to take advantage of the front-runners’ stumbles or to create advantages for themselves.

Critical campaign period For all of the reasons that the fantasy presidential campaign of Christie faced formidable obstacles — the divisions among Republicans, the strong position of former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, the lingering appeal of Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, even the unlikely rise of businessman Herman Cain — the Tuesday debate and the six weeks between now and the beginning of the holidays are an unusually critical period. The chances of an

insurgency prevailing after the turn of the year aren’t great. The seeds planted in October and November are the only crops ever harvested in the winter months in Iowa and New Hampshire, whose presidential contests now increasingly are likely to be held in early to mid-January.

Christie is gone but not forgotten. He left behind one legacy, one of the greatest withdrawal lines of all time, when he proclaimed that he dreaded the notion of getting up before dawn on a frosty morning to shake hands at a meatpacking plant in Iowa. That won’t dog him permanently. Sen. Walter F. Mondale said in 1974 that he lacked “fire in the belly” and couldn’t contemplate an endless series of overnights in Holiday Inns; a decade later, having served as vice president, he won the Democratic presidential nomination.

But the Christie boomlet, one of the shortest on record, highlighted the challenge facing those who remain in the race.

Christie was admired for his ferocious honesty, an attribute of Perry but not of Romney.

He married that pugnaciousness with a certain probity, an attribute of Romney but not of Perry. He had appeal for establishment Republicans — few GOP governors of New Jersey, a suburb of Wall Street, fail to ease the worries of the business world, though Gov. James Mc-

Greevey, who served from 2002 to 2004, made an honest effort to disprove the rule. And he was potential balm for Republicans who in this season favor a cup of tea party caffeine. The only one who comes close in the bluntness-braininess category is Cain, who is unproven in politics but unsullied by that deficiency.

Broken GOP hearts The Republican race thus far has been a marathon of heartbreak hills. Some of the broken hearts were produced by harriers who hurried to the sidelines. Some came from runners who lacked stamina for the long haul. Some came from the deficiencies of the runners who remain — deficiencies that are stubborn metaphors for the contenders themselves.

Romney remains a candidate who possesses little passion and inspires even less. He is methodical but almost mechanical, a Republican thoroughbred weakened by one of his virtues, his thoroughness. Hardly anybody but the people who have worked for him can work up any enthusiasm for him. He may win because he can. In a political year when the opponent is a weakened, struggling president that may be enough.

Perry’s problem is the opposite. He has enormous passion and inspires even more. He is no thoroughbred, which is at once his greatest asset and weakness.

(Americans want their kids to go to Harvard Business School, but not their presidents; the only other Baker Library presidency, that of George W. Bush, did not end well.) But Perry still has a hunting lodge to explain and a Clayton Williams narrative to live down. Williams, so much an Aggie that he flew around in a plane painted in Texas A&M maroon-and-white, burst on the Lone Star political scene in 1990, the big-talking challenger in the gubernatorial race to then-state Treasurer Ann Richards. He was defeated narrowly. This analogy has limits, of course, as Romney is no Ann Richards. But Perry still must display a depth of thought to accompany his depth of feeling.

All that, plus early indications that voters peeling away from Perry may be pulled into Cain’s growing orbit, makes this week’s debate among the eight — a “mob scene” in the words of Dartmouth political scientist Linda L. Fowler — a vital confrontation. The emphasis is to be on the economy, and the candidates will be asked questions about how to improve conditions for middle-class voters, an opportunity for all the contenders to move the party away from the notion, buttressed by Obama and Democrats on Capitol Hill, that the GOP is little more than a gussied-up redoubt for the rich.

ACLU amends complaint on abortion insurance WICHITA (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union has filed an amended complaint in its legal challenge to a new state law that restricts insurance coverage for Kansas women.

The document filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Kansas makes a one-sentence addition to its complaint stating ACLU’s members include women who will seek to buy insurance policies on statelevel exchanges established under the federal health care overhaul.

ACLU lawyer Brigitte Amiri called the addition “just a slight correction/ clarification” to reflect those members.

Under the new Kansas law insurance companies are prohibited from offering abortion coverage as part of general health plans, except when a woman’s life is at risk. Patients who want abortion coverage must buy supplemental policies, known as riders, covering only abortion.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act expressly authorized the states to prohibit abortion coverage in policies sold on the state

exchanges that are slated to begin by 2014.

ACLU has already said in court that their lawsuit will challenge that provision in the federal health care overhaul allowing states to prohibit abortion coverage on the state exchanges, where individuals and small businesses would be able to choose from different health care plans and compare coverage options. The Kansas law has such a provision.

Besides Kansas, other states that elected to prohibit abortion coverage through the exchange include Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia.

A federal judge last month rejected the ACLU’s request that the Kansas law be put on hold during the court fight. But the judge told the ACLU it could try again, noting his decision wasn’t a final ruling on the merits of the group’s claims. He also ordered an expedited schedule so the case would move more quickly through the courts.

CHIEFS 28, COLTS 24

Rousing rally

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Don’t count KU out Bill Self’s ninth season as basketball coach for Kansas University begins Friday with Late Night and opens with a foggier outlook than usual.

The Jayhawks lack experience, front-court depth and three-point shooting. It’s understandable so many have targeted this as the season their seven-year run with at least a share of the Big 12 title ends.

Experience? Senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor has played more minutes for Kansas than the rest of the roster combined.

Front-court depth? Slender Loyola Marymount transfer Kevin Young should help, but other than Thomas Robinson, no returning KU post player averaged more points and rebounds than Jeff Withey (2.5, 1.7) last season.

Three-point shooting? Elijah Johnson’s 22 three-point field goals in 36 games makes him the leading returning longrange shooter. Tyrel Reed (72), Brady Morningstar (43), Josh Selby (34), Marcus Morris (26) and Markieff Morris (25) all made more than that.

Compounding matters, Self didn’t land his typical blockbuster recruiting class, so contributions from freshmen could be limited.

Yet, as easy as it is to see why many forecasts call for an end to the title reign, it’s just as difficult to pick another school to win the 10-team Big 12, which has subtracted Colorado and Nebraska this season and, at the very least, will substitute TCU for Texas A&M next season.

Based on talent, any 2012 NBA mock draft indicates picking a Big 12 winner should be an easy call.

On NBAdraft.net, two of the first 11 projected draft choices will play for Scott Drew at Baylor.

Perry Jones, the superathletic, 6-foot-11 sophomore, surprised some when he didn’t jump to the NBA after his freshman season.

Quincy Miller, a 6-9 freshman forward, is the other projected lottery pick.

The Bears also have thirdyear starter Anthony Jones and sky-walking Quincy Acy back.

High-scoring wing LaceDarius Dunn is gone, but that could mean the ball gets in the hands of Perry Jones more often. It will be the job of point guard Pierre Jackson, the junior-college player of the year, to get it there. Jackson led the College of Idaho to the national title.

No question, Baylor has the most talented roster, but winning a conference championship requires playing consistently strong defense.

Drew’s teams play such a passive 2-3 zone defense. At the other end, Perry Jones spent too much time last season too far from the hoop.

The Bears have the feel of a team that has a better shot to get hot in the postseason and make a run similar to the Elite Eight appearance two seasons ago, than to finish atop the Big 12 standings.

Billy Kennedy comes to Texas A&M with a reputation for getting the most out of his talent, and Mark Turgeon left him some players. Forward Khris Middleton and post man David Loubeau are tough to stop, and if freshman guard Jamal Branch can adjust to college quickly, the Aggies could be a darkhorse candidate to win.

Missouri has talent returning in Marcus Denmon, Kim English and Phil Pressey, but Laurence Bowers (ACL) is out for the season, which hurts.

Don’t count out Kansas just yet.

KANSAS CITY WIDE RECEIVER DWAYNE BOWE MAKES A ONE-HANDED CATCH for a third-quarter touchdown against Indianapolis. The Chiefs beat the Colts, 28-24, Sunday in Indianapolis.

Cassel, Bowe make it two in a row

By Michael Marot Associated Press Sports Writer

INDIANAPOLIS — Matt Cassel finally figured out how to beat the Colts on Sunday.

He used the unbeatable combination of Dwayne Bowe’s size and Steve Breaston’s elusiveness.

Cassel threw four touchdown passes — two each to Bowe and Breaston — to rally the Chiefs from a 17-point deficit for a 28-24 victory over winless Indianapolis.

“He is a guy I trust with all my heart — and the ball,” Cassel said of Bowe. “Then you get Steve Breaston, who continues to make so many plays. They compliment each other very well. If you’re going to double one, you can’t double the other.”

Without paying a steep price — as the Colts learned.

Even Peyton Manning’s return to the sideline couldn’t detract from the impact of this big-play tandem.

Kansas City’s comeback was the largest since Todd Haley took over as coach in 2009 and rekindled images of how the Chiefs (2-3) won the AFC West last season.

Cassel was an efficient 21-of-29 for 257 yards with a rating of 138.9.

Bowe caught seven passes for 128 yards and simply outmuscled the much smaller Jacob Lacey for many of them. Breaston caught four passes for 50 yards but made a spectacular effort to get into the end zone at the end of the first half and a terrific move against a backup cornerback to give the Chiefs their only lead with 5:15 left.

Jackie Battle also ran 19 times for 119 yards, enough to give the Chiefs their first win at Indy.

“We just started doing things

better,” coach Todd Haley said.

“That’s three weeks in a row with strong second halves. That’s our conditioning and hard work paying off in our favor. We did a good job wearing them out.”

Indy, one of three winless teams left in the league, is 0-5 for the first time since 1997 and has lost five straight for the first time in a decade.

But this one was not Curtis Painter’s fault.

With Manning around to advise to Painter and the receivers between series, Painter delivered a brilliant first half. He opened the game 12 of 17 for 237 yards with two TDs and a near-perfect 152.2 rating. A series of secondhalf drops prevented the Colts from moving the ball, though, and Painter finished 15 of 27 for 277 yards.

He even managed to avoid getting sacked despite playing behind a makeshift offensive line.

This time, it was the defense that broke down.

“The offense was doing a great job in the first half, and we just kind of let down,” Colts safety Antoine Bethea said. “We blew this.”

Bowe was the primary reason.

He burned Lacey on a slant for a 41-yard touchdown in the first half, a play that seemed to spark Kansas City’s moribund offense.

He repeatedly broke tackles for first downs. And when Cassel needed a play on first-and-goal from the Indy 5, of course he went to Bowe, who caught the TD pass despite Lacey’s deflection and pass interference penalty. That made the score 24-21.

KANSAS SAFETY KEESTON TERRY LOOKS AT THE SCOREBOARD from the bench during the fourth quarter of the Jayhawks’ 70-28 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (AP) — TCU trustees are scheduled to meet today, when they will discuss the school’s invitation to join the Big 12 Conference.

A person with knowledge of the plans told the Associated Press that the board’s meeting is expected be followed by a “major announcement.” The person spoke on condition of anonymity late Sunday night because the university was not ready to reveal its plans publicly.

The Big 12 publicly issued an invitation to TCU for membership in its league Thursday.

With Texas A&M’s pending departure to the SEC next summer, the Big 12 would be down to nine members without TCU’s addition. Missouri is also considering its conference options after Nebraska and Colorado left the league before this year.

NBA, players association hold Sunday talks NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Top negotiators for the NBA and playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association met Sunday night in perhaps the last chance to avoid canceled regular-season games.

Commissioner David Stern has set today as the deadline for a new labor deal to be reached before the first two weeks of the season will be canceled.

No meetings had been planned since he set the deadline Tuesday,

before the sides agreed to talk Sunday.

Stern, Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver, owners Peter Holt of San Antonio and Glen Taylor of Minnesota, and senior vice president and deputy general counsel Dan Rube met with union executive director Billy Hunter, president Derek Fisher of the Lakers and vice president Maurice Evans of the Wizards,

Selby waits out NBA labor strife J-W Staff and Wire Reports

Second-round NBA Draft pick Josh Selby, who is unable to negotiate a contract with the Memphis Grizzlies during the lockout, is patiently playing the waiting game with league rookies and veterans alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret any thing,â&#x20AC;? former Kansas University combo guard Selby told the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. He chose to enter the draft shortly after the end of his freshman season at KU, electing to take his chances on the possibility of a lost season rather than returning for his sophomore year in college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been doing what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been doing. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing us rookies can do about the lockout so I just wait to hear whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on.â&#x20AC;?

Selby spent the summer training in Las Vegas and also playing in various NBAcaliber exhibition games with the likes of Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Durant, as well as future Memphis teammates Mike Conley, Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo and Zach Randolph. He had a 42-point, seven-assist outing in one game last month at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;lockoutâ&#x20AC;? league in Las Vegas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the steal of the draft. The young fella is going to help us,â&#x20AC;? Randolph told the Commercial-Appeal.

The 6-foot-3 Selby, who was chosen 49th overall, said he has learned a lot the past several months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a blessing to learn from guys who are where you want to be,â&#x20AC;? Selby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been playing with all stars. And they recognize talent. Players are players. If you can play a little bit then they take you under their wing.â&#x20AC;?

Selby has been staying at his mom, Maeshon Witherspoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, house in Baltimore when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not traveling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell him to stay humble,â&#x20AC;? Witherspoon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can watch as many Grizzlies tapes as we want. But until he gets on the floor with that staff and those players you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to tell what he can do. I tell him this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a vacation.â&#x20AC;?

Selbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent, Andy Miller, secured disability and health insurance for Selby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mind-set was, how can we put him in the best position without exploiting him?â&#x20AC;? Miller told the Commercial-Appeal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a summer-league All-Star player with the amount of exhibition games heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played in. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re maximizing the situation out of the circumstances.â&#x20AC;?

Of his financial situation, Selby said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Money-wise, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been difficult. It would be wonderful if there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lockout. But everybody has a loan they can take out. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just trying to keep a budget and make sure I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overspend.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to buy an expensive car or a home. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need any of that.â&#x20AC;?

Once the lockout ends, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to make the team unless the team issues him a contract as Miami did several years ago with former second-round pick Mario Chalmers, who notched a guaranteed deal before training camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I want to I could chill all day and not do anything,â&#x20AC;? Selby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working hard every day. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very anxious to show what I can do.â&#x20AC;?

and attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and Ron Klempner.

The meeting comes two days after the union said the league insisted it accept a 50-50 split of revenues as a condition to meet.

Instead, the precondition was dropped, a person with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the details were to remain private.

Jimmie Johnson rules K.C. NASCAR race KANSAS CITY, KAN. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll teach everyone to count out Jimmie Johnson.

The five-time defending Cup champion dominated Sunday at Kansas Speedway, weathering a series of late cautions and holding off Kasey Kahne to win for the first time since April.

Johnson stumbled through the first two races in NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of a postseason and was 10th in the standings heading to Dover. A second-place finish last weekend gave Johnson confidence, and his first win since Talladega moved him into third in the Chase behind Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimmie was the car to beat all day,â&#x20AC;? said Brad Keselowski, who finished third.

Jeff Gordon made things interesting when his car blew up with three laps remaining.

Johnson chose not to pit before the greenwhite-checkered finish, but still managed to drive away from Kahne and Keselowski on worn out tires. Keselowski, who won the Nationwide race Saturday, still moved up to fourth in the Chase with six races left. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all comes back to having a good team,â&#x20AC;?

Keselowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good teams have good cars, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the best at the end, the fastest at the end, they have good pit strategy and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re strong through adversity, and I just have a really good team.â&#x20AC;?

Tony Stewart spent most of the afternoon trying to chase down Johnson, and at times appeared to have the car to do it. Stewart climbed 17 spots to sixth after about 50 laps, and at one point brashly told his team over the radio, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a hurry ... Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got things to do.â&#x20AC;?

A series of mistakes near the end cost him, though.

Stewart chose to pit when Gordon brought out the final caution, but carried too much speed down pit road and slid through his stall. By the time his team backed him up and changed tires, Stewart had shuffled back to 17th and he crossed the finish line in 15th.

Stewart won the first two races of the Chase to vault into the points lead, but he struggled all weekend at Dover and finished 25th. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll now head to Charlotte eighth in the standings.

Edwards and Harvick came in tied for lead in the Chase, with the top nine drivers separated by a mere 19 points. Things shook out a bit Sunday, but Edwards and Harvick are still on top.

MARATHON

One runner dies in Chicago CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 35-year-old North Carolina firefighter who was running for charity died Sunday after collapsing during the Chicago Marathon.

Greensboro Deputy Fire Chief Clarence Hunter said that William Caviness was running to raise money to help burn victims, but declined to talk further. He did read a statement from Chief Gregory Grayson.

Race medical director Dr. George Chiampas said the North Carolina man collapsed on the course about 500 yards from the finish line. He said medical personnel were able to get his heart beating again but he died 1 hour, 45 minutes after he was attended to at the race.

JIMMIE JOHNSON CELEBRATES in victory lane after winning the Sprint Cup Series auto race Sunday at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan. Sunshine State team was among the AP rankings on Sunday, marking the end of 472 straight polls where either Florida, Florida State or Miami â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and usually all three â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were on the list. Florida and Florida State both lost Saturday, the Gators losing at No. 1 LSU 41-11 and the Seminoles continuing their freefall with a 35-30 setback at Wake Forest.

The top 10 teams in the poll were unchanged. LSU, No. 2 Alabama, No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 5 Boise State, No. 6 Oklahoma State, No. 7 Stanford, No. 8 Clemson, No. 9 Oregon and No. 10 Arkansas all won by an average of 34.4 points. No. 4 Wisconsin was idle.

GOLF

Molder claims Frys.com SAN MARTIN, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bryce Molder had to wait 132 tournaments before winning on the PGA Tour. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind going an extra six holes Sunday in the Frys.com Open in the longest playoff of the year.

Molder made a 6-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the fourth time he had to play the closing hole at Cordevalle in 90 minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to outlast Briny Baird in a playoff that both players had chances to win.

Tiger Woods managed to make news when a fan ran toward the seventh green as he was putting and tossed a hot dog in his direction. The 31-year-old man was arrested and never came close to Woods. Woods had three rounds in the 60s for the first time in more than a year on the PGA Tour, although he finished 10 shots behind in a tie for 30th. It a year lost mainly to left leg injuries, it was his ninth and final tour start.

Tseng wins Hana Bank INCHEON, SOUTH KOREA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Top-ranked Yani Tseng won the LPGA Hana Bank Championship for her sixth LPGA Tour victory of the season and ninth overall title of the year, shooting a 5-under 67 to edge two-time defending champion Na Yeon Choi by a stroke.

NLCS

Brewers rally past Cards MILWAUKEE (AP) — Even before the first pitch, the Milwaukee Brewers took a swing at the St. Louis Cardinals.

Come Sunday, the Brewers swapped their barbs for bats — and just kept bashing.

Needing a comeback in the NL championship series opener, Milwaukee turned to its power duo of Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, then got a clutch hit from Yuniesky Betancourt to beat the Cardinals, 9-6.

The Brewers celebrated wildly as the big hits came during a rapid-fire rally.

“It’s the playoffs, bro,” Fielder said. “You’ve got to let it all out.”

Braun launched a two-run, 463-foot homer in the first inning and added a two-run double during a six-run burst in the fifth. Fielder hit a tworun homer and the typically light-hitting Betancourt added a two-run homer to cap it.

The midgame turnaround came so fast that the crowd wasn’t done cheering Braun’s big hit when Fielder went deep.

“I don’t even know if I heard the ball come off Prince’s bat,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. “I knew it was a good swing and came off nice, but when you can’t hear the ball, the sound of it, because of all the people yelling. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen there until I saw the ball flight.”

At least for one game, the bitter NL Central rivals avoided any on-field confrontations in their first postseason matchup since the 1982 World Series.

That’s despite an already tense atmosphere that gained

Greinke hinted that he heard a few comments from the Cardinals’ dugout Sunday, but he said it was nothing out of the ordinary.

“They’re yelling from the dugout some, but most teams do that,” Greinke said. “Everyone always makes fun of

me grunting when I throw a fastball. It’s kind of funny sometimes, but no big deal.”

The atmosphere was tense even before the first pitch, as La Russa was showered with boos during pregame introductions. He calmly tipped his cap to the crowd.

La Russa said afterward that he hoped the tension wouldn’t overshadow the competition — although he said he had a sense that some fans and media members would be disappointed if there aren’t any repeats of

“I don’t want our players and their players to be egged on, and I don’t think they will,” La Russa said. “We’re going to play as hard and good against each other as we can.”

Greinke struggled at times, but reliever Takashi Saito got Cardinals star Albert Pujols to ground into a key double play in the seventh. Francisco Rodriguez pitched a hitless eighth and closer John Axford threw a hitless ninth for a save.

Tigers-Rangers postponed by rain ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — The Detroit Tigers are wet and wounded.

After Game 2 of the AL championship series in Texas was postponed Sunday because of more rain in the forecast, manager Jim Leyland said the Tigers have lost their second starting outfielder for the series.

Magglio Ordonez is out for the rest of the season because of more problems with the right ankle that he broke last season, an injury that caused him to miss more than a month this summer and come out of the twiceinterrupted ALCS opener.

Already without Delmon Young (left oblique), the Tigers lost to the defending AL champion Texas Rangers 3-2 in Game 1. The second game was rescheduled for 3:19 p.m.

feeling the effects of the past few games. After starting out 2-0 and momentarily putting last year’s abysmal 3-9 mark behind them, the Jayhawks have reverted to their old ways. While things got bad at times last year, they’ve reached new lows this year, particularly on defense. Already, KU has seen opponents set single-game records for rushing yards against (Georgia Tech, 604) and passing yards against (OSU, 494), and seven games against Big 12 competition still remain.

“We’re not improving as much as I would like,” Gill said. “I can safely say that.”

Despite all the lows, Gill remains undeterred by the recent setbacks.

Derek Holland pitches today for the Rangers against Max Scherzer, who gets an extra day after his 11⁄3 innings of relief in the Tigers’ AL division series clincher Thurs-

The ALCS opener was stopped by rain twice in the top of the fifth inning Saturday night for a total of 1 hour, 50 minutes.

“It’s just like anything in life,” Gill said. “Everybody has some good days and some bad days, and that’s kind of the way I look at it. I learn, and I keep on going. I have confidence in the plan that we have to try to move this program forward, and we’re gonna keep on moving forward and make some adjustments and keep coming to work and keep believing and keep having faith and go from there.

“But I definitely enjoy what I’m doing. That hasn’t changed. Obviously, a few hours after the game, for maybe 12 to 24 hours, you’re obviously disappointed when you have a loss, and you’re elated and happy when you win one.”

Both players were injured Saturday, and Gill said both are questionable for Saturday’s game against Oklahoma, Bourbon because of a head injury and Terry because of an undisclosed injury.

“I think (Bourbon’s) just gonna be monitored for the next few days and see if anything gets better,” Gill said.

“But, right now, he’s definitely probably questionable for sure.”

Injury update Gill on Sunday provided an update on the status of running back Brandon Bourbon and safety Keeston Terry.

Jayhawks big underdogs Last week, the oddsmakers set the opening line for the KU-OSU game at Oklahoma State minus 29. That line quickly jumped into the 30s and settled around 32.

Sunday, the Sooners opened as 31.5-point favorites and, again, the line soared beyond 35 points by the end of the night.

The KU-OU game will be broadcast by ESPN2.

as a group since the Big 12’s invitation.

Though TCU has not officially accepted, that has been expected to be little more than a formality since receiving the Big 12 invitation.

Even though TCU isn’t required to give 27 months’ notice to leave the Big East since it is not an official conference member, the school

likely will be required to pay a $5 million exit fee.

Syracuse and Pittsburgh already have announced they are leaving the Big East for the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The Big 12 currently has 10 members, though Texas A&M is leaving for the SEC next summer. Missouri is exploring its conference options.

13-minute resumption of play between the delays, was replaced by a pinch runner when the game restarted for good. Leyland was told during the second stoppage of play that the ankle was bothering Ordonez again.

“Magglio had just been talking three or four days ago about how he felt great, how he felt as good as he’s felt for a long time,” Leyland said.

“When the trainer came in during the rain delay and told me, I was almost flabbergasted, to be honest with you. ... It doesn’t appear that there was any significant movement or anything that did it. It just all of a sudden it flared up.”

Leyland said the results of medical tests Sunday showed “a situation there that is not conducive to playing the rest of the year.” He didn’t elaborate.

KU soccer wins in OT J-W Staff Reports

OMAHA, NEB. — Kansas University freshman Ingrid Vidal recorded her fourth game-winning goal in KU’s 2-1 overtime victory over Creighton on Sunday.

Vidal’s winner, her 10th goal of the season, came in the third minute of OT off an assist from freshman Jamie Fletcher.

The Jayhawks (9-6) improved to 3-1 in overtime goals this season. Creighton fell to 7-5-1 overall.

Kansas caught a break during the first minute of overtime when Creighton had two shots hit the crossbar, but Kansas’ defense was able to clear the rebound both times to prevent a Bluejay goal.

Kansas jumped out to an early 1-0 lead when sophomore defender Shannon Renner ran down the sideline and crossed it into the box, where she found Fletcher, who turned and fired it into the goal just 2:39 into the match. For Fletcher, it was her sixth goal of the season while the assist from Renner was her first of the season.

KU will travel to Texas Tech on Friday.

Chiefs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Two series later, with Bowe as the set-up guy, Cassel went the other direction and found Breaston matched up against rookie cornerback Chris Rucker. It was no contest — an 11-yard TD reception for the go-ahead score.

“Take your hats off to them,” Colts receiver Reggie Wayne said. “They came out with a good game plan in the third quarter and they executed it well. I feel like we should be walking out of this game with a ‘W,’ but we didn’t get that done.”

Yes, Indy dominated early.

Painter threw a 6-yard TD pass to Pierre Garcon on the opening series and after a 53yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri, hooked up with Garcon on a 67-yard TD pass to make it 17-0 less than 20 minutes into the game. Garcon finished with five catches for 125 yards.

Then, after Bowe’s long TD catch, Painter led the Colts down the field again, setting up Delone Carter for a 3-yard TD run that made it 24-7 with 1:09 left in the half.

That was too much time for Cassel and Breaston, who made a nifty stop just before stepping out of bounds and dived across the goal line for a 16-yard score to make it 24-14 at the half.

Painter had one chance to rally the Colts late, but his fourth-down pass was knocked away by Jon McGraw and the Chiefs held on for their second straight win.

Raiders just win, baby, 25-20 The Associated Press

Raiders 25, Texans 20 HOUSTON — Oakland won the day after owner Al Davis died, beating Houston on Sunday behind Jason Campbell’s two touchdown passes.

Michael Huff intercepted Matt Schaub’s pass in the end zone on the final play to secure the win. Coach Hue Jackson dropped to his knees on the sideline, covered his face with his hands and cried as his team celebrated the bittersweet victory.

Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field goals, and Oakland survived a wild finish to improve to 3-2.

Stadiums around the league observed a moment of silence before the early games to honor Davis, who died at his Oakland home at age 82. The Raiders wore black decals on the backs of their helmets with “AL” written in silver letters.

Take aAnnie’s stand, then stick to it Mailbox law passed away last week.

Laura Dern pursues the good life Is recovery entertaining? Laura Dern, so memorable in over-the-top roles in “Rambling Rose,” ‘‘Recount” and “Blue Velvet,” returns to form in “Enlightenment” (8:30 p.m., HBO) as Amy, an ambitious corporate executive who has just seen her career go down the toilet.

In fact, that’s where we meet her. With tears streaking her mascara, Amy overhears her co-workers gossiping about her well-deserved demotion and her affair.

She bursts out of the stall and rampages through her office, searching desperately for her ex-lover, the man she’s sure has orchestrated her downfall. It’s a great scene but, unfortunately, the most explosive of the episode.

After a stint in some kind of Hawaiian spa and New Age retreat, Amy returns and seems transformed. But just as folks feared the hot-tempered Amy, they recoil at her new spiritual incarnation. Her mother, Helen (Dern’s real-life mother, Diane Ladd), can barely tolerate her touchy-feely demeanor. Her old corporate colleagues give her the runaround, her ex-husband (Luke Wilson) comes on to her with cocaine, and her former assistant avoids her because she has taken Amy’s job. Amy returns to intense form only when she pursues her ex-lover with an attempt at “closure” that he mistakes for stalking. And he’s more than half right. ‘‘Enlightenment” attempts the near impossible. A tale of dysfunction, meltdown and recovery, the series focuses on the latter — the long, hard process of trying to avoid self-destructive habits and live well.

That’s all very nice, but this is television. And dramas and comedies don’t often lend themselves to serenity or its pursuit. Some of the smartest writing here explores that fine line between New Age self-discovery and passive- aggressive cunning. In one nuanced scene, Amy makes a veiled threat to sue her old firm sound like a spiritual “affirmation.” Is her Oprah-fied language a sign of change, or merely a new suit of armor?

In many ways, “Enlightenment” is the anti-“House.” It keeps the emphasis on getting straight and growing up. That may not sound like as much fun as watching Laura Dern throw a fit. But with a little indulgence, “Enlightenment” could grow on you.

Dear Canada: It is not uncommon for young adults to be unaware of the need to respond to such an email. To them, it is a notification, and replying is awkward. Please don’t let this fester. Send another email to those nieces and nephews. Say you hope the original email reached them, because you were disappointed and hurt that none of them expressed condolences.

Dear Annie: My husband, our daughter and I made plans to visit my mother-inlaw. Other family members will be in town, as well, including our older daughter (age 25) and her boyfriend.

They live together.

My mother-in-law informed me that my daughter and her boyfriend would be sharing a bedroom. I can’t control how my daughter lives, but I don’t condone it. I emailed my mother-in-law, explaining that neither my husband nor I is comfortable with them sharing a room and didn’t want to give our younger daughter the impression that this is OK. I was shocked when my 80-year-old mother-in-law wrote back saying this was her home and she could do whatever she wanted. We’ve had issues in the past, and it is my belief that she is trying to infuriate me while also appearing “cool and hip” to my daughter.

What’s worse is that in order to give my daughter and her boyfriend a bedroom, our younger daughter has been relegated to another relative’s house. It would be so much easier if the two sisters shared the bedroom and the boyfriend slept on the sofa.

We already bought the expensive plane tickets. Otherwise, we would cancel the trip.

We considered staying in a motel, but the purpose of the visit is
