City to consider whether 1908 house should be moved

Pony Express, Kansas share history

By Scott Rothschild

Kansas is 150 this year, and the Pony Express ended 150 years ago following a brief but legendary existence.

The anniversaries of the two were commemorated Monday in a re-ride of the Pony Express from Lecompton to the steps of the Capitol.

“We need to remember what has gone before us,” said Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach after he received commemorative letters from Gov. Sam Brownback and four former governors.

— Gov. Sam Brownback The letters were delivered by riders of the Kansas division of the National Pony Express Association, which re-creates the Pony Express experience in rerides.

The Pony Express was a private mail service in which horseback riders would relay mail between St. Joseph, Mo., and Sacramento, Calif. It started on April 3, 1860, and lasted for

18 months, until connection of the transcontinental telegraph.

The nearly 2,000-mile journey covering eight states took about 10 days, according to the National Pony Express Association. Riders were paid $25 per week and rode 10 to 12 miles before changing horses. A different rider started about every 75 miles.

In his letter, Brownback,

who was traveling in Russia on Monday on a trip to market Kansas farm products, said, “It is nearly impossible to think of those daring young riders braving the dangerous journey to aid in the growth and expansion of a grateful nation without thinking of the rolling plains and rustic beauty of Kansas. The two are tangled in our lore and our vision of the past, dependent on one another and forever intertwined.”

Monday’s ride started about 9 a.m. in Lecompton, Kansas’ territorial capital.

Thirteen Kansas riders and 3 1/2 hours later, the mail was delivered to the Capitol.

Talk to high school seniors about what’s important when considering which college to attend and you’ll get varied answers.

“I want to know how the average freshman would feel,” said Dylan Orth, a senior at Lawrence High School. “I think what stands out the most is the town that these colleges are in and the campus.”

Others like to know colleges are paying attention to them.

“The more times I see them in my inbox, it makes me feel like I’m important to them,” said Madison Easley, an LHS senior who’s considering staying in-state.

Facing three years of declining enrollments, Kansas University is making changes in the way it recruits to try to engage with a new pool of students on a personal level.

KU leaders say they’re expanding the numbers of potential students they’re trying to reach, focusing more on students with solid high school GPAs but test scores outside the upper echelon and further personalizing their approach.

Matt Melvin, KU’s vice provost for enrollment management, has been at KU for a year now after coming from the University of Central Missouri. He’s led new enrollment initiatives, including a strategic use of data.

Audio-Reader celebrates 40 years of helping visually impaired

At 103 years old, Bill Calwell still plays golf and goes fishing. The Topeka resident has authored three books and continues to write on an old Royal typewriter.

However, his vision limits his ability to read, a big problem for a writing man.

No worries, though. For the past 15 years, Calwell has subscribed to a free program that provides him audio recordings of his work and reads him the day’s news.

It’s called Audio-Reader, a Kansas University public service for visually impaired people. It’s based in Lawrence at the Baehr home, 1120 W. 11th St., next door to Kansas Public Radio. It

“

It’s my right hand.

Sometimes I think, at my age, my life wouldn’t be worth living without it.”

— Bill Calwell, a 103-year-old subscriber to Audio-Reader broadcasts readings of national and local newspapers and excerpts of books 24 hours a day.

“It’s my right hand,” Calwell said. “Sometimes I think, at my age, my life wouldn’t be worth living without it.”

Public-radio stations broadcast the program on a subchannel received through specially tuned

radios. Audio-Reader provides free radios to anyone with a documented vision handicap.

The founder, the late Petey Cerf, an advocate for elderly people, realized nursing home patients needed such a service. She ignored skeptics and started the program with the university, which agreed to administer the program through its KANU station and pay for receivers. Cerf bought the transmitter required to broadcast the program.

THIS RENDERING SHOWS the apartment complex proposed for the site of the Varsity House at 11th and Indiana streets.

Werner previously has said the house needs to be moved because its current corner location splits two lots of the property, making it difficult to build around. Werner’s plans call for the house to be moved to the northern edge of the development, and to be refurbished as a boarding house.

City commissioners are being asked to make a ruling on what the project can and can’t do. The city Historic Resources Commission already has ruled — on a 5-2 vote — that moving the house off its corner location will damage the “environs” of the nearby Oread Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Technically, the city-appointed Historic Resources Commission has the final say on whether the project would damage the historic district.

But city commissioners can make a finding that there is “no feasible and prudent” alternative to moving the house,

number of students who request information from KU. That figure is up about 20 percent from a year ago.

At KU, a lot of personal attention had been placed on students with a 26 and above ACT score, Melvin said. The emphasis of the previous chancellor was on recruiting National Merit Scholars, he said.

“What I want to do is try to identify, based on data, students that can be successful at KU,” he said.

That may mean more attention placed on students with an ACT score of 23 or 24, but bolstered with strong high school grades. Given a choice between two students —one with a 28 ACT and a 2.2 GPA and another with a 24 ACT and a 3.2 GPA, Melvin didn’t hesitate.

“I’ll take the 24 and 3.2 every day and twice on Tuesday,” he said. Those stu-

Born September 30, 1924 in Burley, Idaho to Harry S. and Lena I. (Hubbard) Peters, Lavon grew up on Minneapolis, Kansas. A graduate of the University of Kansas, she was employed at Gulf Oil in Ft. Worth, Texas, until her marriage to J. D. McCormick of Grapevine, Texas. They had two daughters, Donna Claire and Carey Anne.

Widowed in 1954, she returned to Minneapolis, Kansas, until she was employed in 1959 as Research Assistant to Dr. R. C. Moore of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology for the United States Geological Survey at KU. In 1977 she married Claude F. Martin of Pratt, Kansas, and Houston, Texas. They were employed with Shell Oil and Getty Oil in Houston until retirement. Their retirement home property was their pride and joy.

Lavon was preceded in

death by her husband J. D. McCormick, her husband Claude F. Martin, her sister Martin Kerma L. Bremerman, and her daughter Carey A. McCormick. She is survived by her daughter, Donna C. McCormick and husband Gregory Sims of Lawrence, Kansas; her step-son and wife, Michael and Vangie Martin of Kerrville, Texas; her step-daughter, Claudia (Martin) Baird of Weatherford, Texas; brother-inlaw, Jack Bremerman of Minneapolis, Kansas; and 3 nieces: Lee Ann (Bremerman) DuVall of Franklin, Tennessee, Susan (Bremerman) Adkins of Minneapolis, Kansas, and Poppe Marsha (McCormick) Weaver of Tulsa, Oklahoma.

which would allow the project to proceed despite the objections of the city’s historic preservation board. But to do so, commissioners also will have to set aside a recommendation by the city’s historic resources administrator. The administrator, Lynne Braddock Zollner, said the development of apartments at the intersection is appropriate, but moving the house hasn’t been shown to be the only alternative for the project to proceed.

Brown said he believes there are alternatives to moving the house. He said Lawrence architect Stan Hernly has developed a concept plan with the house at its current location that shows essentially the same size of apartment project with underground parking. Brown said for historic preservationists, keeping the house on the corner is of high importance.

“It was a prominent house on a prominent corner when it was built,” Brown said. “If we move it, we’ll be losing some history.”

dents, he added, often don’t just succeed academically at KU, they become the most engaged with the school.

“They’re the ones that make KU a special place.”

Still, some students with 18 or 19 ACT scores won’t be recruited as heavily, Melvin said, as those students tend not to do well at KU. “What I don’t want to do is change a recruiting problem into a retention problem,” Melvin said.

Melvin said KU also needed to tell students how, as the flagship public institution of the state and a member of the Association of American Universities, it differentiates itself from other higher education options in the state.

“If the perception of quality is the same, people will defer to cost every time,” he said. “Cost is a horrible market to be competing on, because someone will always be cheaper than us.”

As KU looks to personalize its recruiting efforts, it can build on what it’s already doing, said Heidi Simon, KU’s

record at a time,” said Eleanor Symons, who has volunteered for 40 years.

The station gradually grew, acquiring an old prison trailer and expanding its broadcast range beyond Lawrence. In 1988, the station moved into its current location, formally a fraternity house.

Today, the program is hosted on the NPR satellite and picked up by seven stations in Kansas and Missouri. Stations as far away as California and New Jersey broadcast select portions.

Lori Kesinger, program manager, said Audio-Reader is nationally recognized for its excellence.

Programming is a mix of national and local news. Kesinger said the focus is to keep listeners in touch with their community.

“I try to ask, ‘If you lived in that town, what would you look for?’” Kesinger said.

Users can call in and listen to the day’s news over the phone. They can also submit documents to be recorded.

Audio-Reader relies on funding from the university and private donors, including the Lions Club. Money comes in cycles and, lately, Kesinger said it’s a low one.

The station is not facing immediate danger, though.

“It’s not going to shut down,” she said. “The founders set up a good framework.”

Volunteers read thousands of pages every day.

When asked what motivated her to work with the organization for 40 years, Symons said it was the same reason she started.

“Honestly, I like reading aloud,” she said. “I always have.”

associate director of admissions who oversees freshman recruitment.

She works with 15 recruitment coordinators who oversee different geographic territories. The phone calls, the handwritten notes, the emails, they’ve already been doing that, and the coordinators are out in their territories working night and day to make contact with students.

Melvin, she said, has been supportive of their efforts, and has helped make changes like expanding KU’s scholarship offerings for freshmen — something KU’s recruiters had been asking for after they heard it on the road. Students must apply by Nov. 1 to be considered for scholarships, and the process is easier this year, after KU eliminated the scholarship essay requirement. “(Melvin) saw how hard we were working,” she said.

“We just didn’t have the right resources to make it happen.”

BRIEFLY Shooting suspects post police thought was connected to the shooting incident. The bond; charges pending men were taken into custody

Two Leavenworth men who were arrested early Sunday in connection with a gunfire incident in Lawrence posted bond before formal charges were filed, according to Douglas County Jail records.

Police were investigating a report that shots were fired at 12:30 a.m. outside the Taste Lounge, Bar and Grill, 804 W. 24th St. Two employees of the bar were listed as victims in the police report, and the suspect was accused of using a handgun and being under the influence of alcohol.

Lawrence police Capt. Bill Cory said that early Sunday that officers had arrested the two men after they were found in a gray Cadillac that

at Presto Convenience Store, 1802 W. 23rd St. Police reported no injuries in the incident.

A 21-year-old Leavenworth man was booked into jail on charges of criminal discharge of a firearm and two counts of aggravated battery. He posted $25,000 bond Sunday evening and was given notice to appear in court Oct. 24. Douglas County prosecutors would likely make a decision about filing formal charges in the case before then.

Lawrence police also arrested an 18-year-old Leavenworth man in connection with the case on charges of obstruction. He posted $4,000 bond Sunday night and was also given notice to appear in court Oct. 24, but prosecutors had not charged him formally as of Monday.

The Journal-World generally does not identify suspects unless formal charges are filed.

Steve Jobs’ death certificate released A copy of Steve Jobs’ death certificate made public Monday indicates that the Apple Inc. co-founder died of respiratory arrest resulting from pancreatic cancer that had spread to other organs.

Jobs died last Wednesday at age 56. Apple did not disclose his cause of death, but Jobs had been in poor health for a number of years.

He battled pancreatic cancer in 2004 and underwent a liver transplant in 2009 after taking a leave of absence for unspecified health problems. He took another leave of absence in January — his third since his health problems began — and resigned in August, handing the CEO job over to his hand-picked successor, Tim Cook.

Standards-based grading to face forum

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Parents concerned about standards-based grades being used for sixth-graders in the Lawrence school district will get a chance to raise their objections, make their suggestions and listen for answers during an upcoming informational session.

District administrators plan to conduct a forum, likely next

month, to address concerns raised in recent weeks regarding the use of standards-based grades in middle schools.

The grades — E, S, M and T — will accompany the familiar letter grades of A, B, C. D and F this year for sixth-graders, just as they did for sixth-graders last year and for several years before that. The system covers how a student is meeting requirements tied to state assessments, ranging from “excels” to “targeted for growth.”

Some parents made a return trip to district headquarters Monday night, opening the Lawrence school board’s meeting by reiterating many of the same complaints they and others had made Sept. 26: ! Middle school teachers haven’t been properly trained in how to administer such grades. ! Students won’t be spurred to strive for excellence, and instead will work only to “satisfy” state standards.

! Having two different grading systems used in the same schools — sixth-graders get standards-based grades, while seventh- and eighth-graders don’t — will cause confusion, especially among teachers who have students at different grade levels. ! Teachers will have too many grades to issue and therefore be more likely to follow

U.N. report: Detainees were tortured Beatings, electric shocks and other forms of torture were administered to suspected Taliban fighters in some Afghan-run detention centers, the U.N. said Monday, even as the U.S. and others have spent billions of dollars training the police and security services.

The abuse was not the result of Afghan government policy, but of individual actions that were mostly ignored by the security services, according to the 74-page U.N. report.

Although Afghan security officials have long been suspected of torturing detainees to elicit information and confessions, the report for the first time confirms the practice and outlines much of the abuse.

Egypt’s military vows to get tough Egypt’s ruling military on Monday condemned a surge in deadly violence as an attempt to undermine the state, and warned it will act to safeguard the peace following a night of clashes that drew in Christians, Muslims and security forces.

The generals’ strong words signaled the governing military council will tighten its grip on power, further infuriating activists who have demanded an end to army rule and a transition to democracy.

Egypt’s Coptic church harshly criticized the government for its actions in crushing the protests and accused it of allowing repeated attacks on Christians to go unpunished.

The clashes Sunday night were the worst sectarian violence since the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak eight months ago.

In a statement, the Coptic Church, which represents about 10 percent of Egypt’s 85 million people, accused security forces of failing to stop anti-Christian agitators from turning what started out as a peaceful protest against church attacks into a sectarian riot in which at least 26 people, mostly Christians, were killed.

Independence key in rulings, judge says Federal official discusses case decisions made free from outside influence

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

In his nearly 20 years on the federal bench, U.S. District Judge John Lungstrum says he’s seen the importance of an independent federal judiciary.

The 65-year-old Lawrence resident, who took senior status last November, told Lawrence Rotary Club members Monday there are recent examples of federal judges ruling in cases and showing they’re free from outside influence.

Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton of the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, a conservative and President George W. Bush nominee, last summer became the first judge nominated by a Republican to rule in favor of the individual health insurance mandate that is at the center of the controversial health care overhaul Democrats passed in Congress last year.

“These examples are the kinds of things that I think should give people some sort of good feeling that judges are out there trying to get it right and not just trying to substitute their own view of the way the world ought to be,” said Lungstrum, a Kansas University law graduate who spoke at Holiday Inn Lawrence, 200 McDonald Drive.

swer to a political party or to a president or the Congress that appointed or approved them in order to keep their jobs,” he said. “That’s not the way it is in most of the world.”

He reflected on many aspects of his job presiding over criminal and civil cases in federal court, saying the courts have adapted to technological advancements. He added that the federal court system had worked at containing costs as a branch of the federal government.

Lungstrum said a Supreme Court ruling in the last decade also changed the sentencing process. Federal sentencing guidelines went from mandatory to advisory.

“I think it’s good because I believe that when we do send somebody to jail for the rest of their life, or for a substantial period of time, or at all, we should really have to come to grips with that and decide that that really is in fact what the right thing is to do,” he said. “I don’t think we should wash our hands Pontius Pilate-style and say ‘oh gee, the guidelines made me do it.’”

Lungstrum also said he has tried to conduct business in his court in a certain way.

“Judicial independence doesn’t mean that judges are or should be petty tyrants,” he said. “We must be respectful of those who come before us — the lawyers, parties and the public.”

New casino at Speedway Horseshoes buff earns spot in state hall of fame looks to hire 1,000 workers

By Jimmy Gillispie

jgillispie@theworldco.info

KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — Owners of the new casino at the Kansas Speedway are looking for nearly 1,000 employees.

A job fair for the Hollywood Casino is planned from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Overland Park Convention Center.

The casino complex will eventually include seven restaurants and lounges and more than 2,000 gaming machines.

Casino executive Dean Doria says open jobs include food and beverage workers, environmental services and security officers.

BALDWIN CITY — If not for a heart attack 26 years ago, Ken Martin might not have received a prestigious honor from the Kansas Horseshoe Pitchers Association.

In 1985, the now 79-yearold rural Baldwin City resident suffered a heart attack.

Now, Martin is one of 27 members in the association’s Hall of Fame.

“It was a big surprise,” Martin said of his induction during a tournament in Ottawa over Labor Day weekend. “I couldn’t believe that I had been accepted into the hall of fame. When they started talking about it, I just thought to myself that I had been nominated again,

but they said, ‘No, you’re in.’ It was very surprising.”

Martin was first nominated nine years ago, but he was passed over on being accepted until the ceremony recently.

“As I got close to the chairman, there was a standing ovation,” Martin said. “I hadn’t had a standing ovation before. It was very special.”

Although he’s loved the game of horseshoes for most of his life — he and his brother played as children — Martin picked the game back up during rehabilitation after his heart attack. He drove a piece of water pipe into the ground and created his own horseshoe pit.

Grades CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

“mass grading” by lumping many students into the “S” category even though many likely will be slightly below the standard and others likely will be somewhere above — with no ability to account for such differences.

Letter grades — based on percentages and homework and test scores, and other assignments and considerations — represent the best system to encourage excellence, populate honor rolls and otherwise prepare students for high school and beyond, parents at Monday’s meeting said.

“I am not looking to become a ‘Proud Parent of a Satisfactory Student in USD 497,’” said Jill Patton, parent of a sixth-grader at Southwest Middle School, who has been critical of the system.

“That is not a bumper sticker I’m willing to post.”

After the Sept. 26 meeting, district administrators started making plans to schedule an educational forum to hear from parents, share information and talk about how the system is designed to help provide parents and students with more information than can easily be conveyed by a simple letter grade.

for exercise, fun and entertainment,” Martin said.

“That was my main point when I restarted. I wanted an exercise program that I could do every day. I wanted something I could do at home and stay off of gravel.

I needed to be on grass, not the gravel.”

A friend, Don McTaggert, suggested he join a few men at their weekly game. Soon, he learned about a league in Ottawa, which he also joined.

Martin also helped form a league in Lawrence and in-

said Craig Weinaug, county administrator.

“I anticipate this won’t be the last request that we get,” Weinaug said, noting that both Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and the Lawrence Community Shelter likely would seek county assistance before discussions begin for the 2012 budget.

Also during Wednesday’s meeting, commissioners will consider: !"Approving an agreement with Social and Rehabilitative Services to help keep the Lawrence SRS office open.

Douglas County would pay the state $225,000 — $112,500 a year, for two years — under the agreement. The city of Lawrence also would pay the same amount. ! Amend Horizon 2020 to reflect inclusion of a Southeast Area Plan.

Commissioners also plan to meet at 6:35 p.m., also at the county courthouse, to consider amending Horizon 2020 to include the Inverness Park District Plan, involving property south of Clinton Parkway.

City officials said Monday that the northbound lanes of Iowa Street between Irving Hill Overpass and Bob Billings Parkway/15th Street will undergo an emergency repaving to fix rutting that has developed in the pavement.

Traffic will be restricted to one lane in both directions from 15th Street to 19th Street.

Some left and right turns also will be restricted. The lane reductions are expected to last until about 7 p.m. today.

The city is encouraging motorists to use other routes, if possible.

“

I am not looking to become a ‘Proud Parent of a Satisfactory Student in USD 497.’ That is not a bumper sticker I’m willing to post.”

— Jill Patton, parent of a sixth-grader at Southwest Middle School Administrators also have reduced the number of report “indicators,” or statements that require grades, from as many as 30 for each student in each subject to six for reading and six for math. Administrators also are considering suggestions for modifying Skyward, the computer system teachers use to enter information about students’ academic work and parents use to track their kids’ progress.

Even so — and with emails, phone calls and other complaints flowing into district headquarters — administrators know they need to improve their communication on the grading issue. That’s why, while working on the board’s draft of annual goals, they included an item calling for a forum to discuss the issue.

“We’re fairly perceptive,” Superintendent Rick Doll said. “And we obviously have picked up on the fact that there are questions and comments about reporting and grading, and so we have created a goal that deals with gaining parental and core

community feedback on that topic.”

Board members approved the plan as part of their list of overall goals, a document that strives for Excellence, Equity and Engagement.

Board member Randy Masten, for one, is counting on the forum to offer a “valid critique” of the system, with teachers and parents on both sides of the issue making their Masten feelings known, both positive and negative.

“It’s a good system,” said Masten, who’s heard from both opponents and supporters of the grading system.

“There are some growing pains with moving it into the middle schools, but … we’re moving in the right direction on this.”

After Adame died, Martin became the tournament director. Soon after, in 1994, he began serving a 12-year term as president of the state association.

Martin enjoys sharing

his knowledge of the game.

He has taught sessions in Baldwin City, as well as at the Vinland Fair and South Middle School in Lawrence.

There’s no indication that Martin plans on hanging up his shoes anytime soon.

charge early Sunday after he was accused of threatening a Lawrence man with a knife in downtown Lawrence.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a police spokesman, said the victim alleged he was sitting on a sidewalk when the suspect at 11:50 p.m. Saturday walked by him and started a verbal argument.

They got into a physical altercation in which the suspect displayed a knife and attempted to strike the victim with it, Sarna said.

The suspect, who was accused of being under the influence of alcohol, then ran from the area, and officers a short time later found him near Eighth and Vermont streets and arrested him. No injuries were reported.

The suspect posted $2,500 bond Sunday evening and was given notice to appear in jail Oct. 24, meaning Douglas County prosecutors can make a decision about formal charges before then.

The Journal-World generally does not identify suspects unless they are formally charged.

The accident was reported at 10:15 a.m. Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said the driver of a 2000 Dodge Durango, Michelle King, was headed south on Crossgate Drive and attempted to make a left turn onto eastbound Clinton Parkway when the rear tires of her vehicle spun out and she lost traction. The vehicle spun around and struck the median before it rolled over onto the passenger side.

King, who was wearing a seat belt, was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, Sarna said.

LMH spokeswoman Belinda Rehmer said King was treated and later released Monday.

Sarna said Monday afternoon police were still investigating the cause of the accident and had not written any citations.

Goldsmith was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital on Saturday night with injuries that were not life-threatening, Sarna said. LMH spokeswoman Belinda Rehmer said Monday that Goldsmith was treated and released from the hospital.

Police back at home of K.C. missing baby

By Maria Sudekum Fisher Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Several detectives returned Monday to the Kansas City home where a 10-month-old girl was last reported seen a week ago.

The detectives spent more than an hour inside the home Monday. They also searched among bushes along a fence at the back of the house near the garage. But they did not appear to find anything.

Jeremy Irwin and Deborah Bradley reported their daughter, Lisa Irwin, missing early last Tuesday after Jeremy Irwin returned from a late shift at work. Police have said they have chased down scores of leads, but so far have no suspects.

Also Monday, detectives questioned neighbors on a busy street about three blocks from the family’s home, and several patrol cars were also seen in the neighborhood.

Detectives also searched foliage at a nearby home.

On Sunday, investigators in Kansas City climbed through a window that the parents said had been tampered with the night Lisa disappeared, in an apparent attempt to reenact an abduction.

The parents said someone must have crept into their home while the child’s mother and brothers slept and snatched the baby girl.

The parents said a front

window had been tampered with, and police were seen crawling through one Sunday. An officer was back at the house early Monday for about 10 minutes, walking around to the rear.

He did not speak to the media. Capt. Steve Young, the police spokesman, said only that detectives have been pursuing leads but are “at the mercy of the next good idea.”

“We’re trying everything we can,” Young said. “We’re trying every idea that we can.”

But although Young said leads are coming in “all the time,” investigators have said they have nothing solid so far and no suspects despite an extensive search of the family’s quiet neighborhood, including their home and neighbors’ houses, a nearby woods, sewers and a Kansas landfill.

John Hamilton, a former Kansas City police officer who’s now an associate professor of criminal justice at Park University, said crime scene re-enactments aren’t common but can be valuable in some instances.

A re-enactor likely walked through the house holding a doll about the same size and weight as Lisa to see how an abductor might have navigated the home in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep, he said. The goal would be to find small details that might initially have been overlooked or a trigger that could shift the investigation in a whole new direction.

“I like (re-enactments),” Hamilton said. “They are a different kind of think-outof-the-box way of approaching things.”

Irwin and Bradley are again meeting with police.

Police said last week that the couple had stopped cooperating, but the family quickly denied the claim, saying they simply needed a break that night from police questioning.

Bradley has said police told her she failed a lie detector test.

ANALYSIS

Focus on terrorism allows infiltration of insects, diseases

By Tracie Cone Associated Press

FRESNO, CALIF. — Dozens of foreign insects and plant diseases slipped undetected into the United States in the years after 9/11, when authorities were so focused on preventing another attack that they overlooked a pest explosion that threatened the quality of the nation’s food supply.

At the time, hundreds of agricultural scientists responsible for stopping invasive species at the border were reassigned to anti-terrorism duties in the newly formed Homeland Security Department — a move that scientists say cost billions of dollars in crop damage and eradication efforts from California vineyards to Florida citrus groves.

The consequences come home to consumers in the form of higher grocery prices, substandard produce and the risk of environmental damage from chemicals needed to combat the pests.

An Associated Press analysis of inspection records found that border-protection officials were so engrossed in

“Whether they know it or not, every person in the country is affected by this, whether by the quality or cost of their food, the pesticide residue on food or not being able to enjoy the outdoors because beetles are

killing off the trees,” said Mark Hoddle, an entomologist specializing in invasive species at the University of California, Riverside.

Homeland Security officials acknowledge making mistakes and say they are now working to step up agricultural inspections at border checkpoints, airports and seaports.

While not as dire as terrorism, the threat is considerable and hard to contain.

Many invasive species are carried into the U.S. by people who are either unaware of the laws or are purposely trying to skirt quarantine regulations. The hardest to stop are fruits, vegetables and spices carried by international travelers or shipped by mail. If tainted with insects or infections, they could carry contagions capable of devastating crops.

Plants and cut flowers can harbor larvae, as can bags of bulk commodities such as rice. Beetles have been found hitchhiking on the bottom of tiles from Italy, and boring insects have burrowed into the wooden pallets commonly used in cargo shipments.

Invasive species have been sneaking into North America since Europeans arrived on the continent, and many got established long before 9/11. But the abrupt shift in focus that followed the attacks caused a steep decline in agricultural inspections that allowed more pests to invade American farms and forests.

GOP presidential hopefuls’ talking points veer away from economy

By Steve Peoples Associated Press

MILFORD, N.H. — In an election that’s supposed to hinge on jobs and the economy, the Republican presidential contest in recent months has been defined by almost everything else.

Immigration and children’s vaccines. Race and religion.

Homosexuality and health care.

The issues range far from the economic woes that concern most vot- Perry ers, but they have captivated Republicans in New Hampshire and other early voting states, providing the Romney candidates with ways to distinguish themselves from their rivals.

The biggest applause lines on the campaign trail usually have little to do with a candidate’s economic positions.

The dynamic was on display Monday, even as the contenders prepared for tonight’s debate focused solely on the economy.

“Even the richest man can’t buy back his past,” intoned a Web video that Texas Gov. Rick Perry rolled out to as-

sail chief rival Mitt Romney’s personal wealth and the Massachusetts health care overhaul that Romney signed into law. “America’s most damaging prescription: RomneyCare,” the video said.

Romney mentioned it during a town hall-style meeting here and suggested that his opponents would use any issue they could to tear him down.

A few minutes earlier, Romney had jabbed Perry on immigration.

“If you’re an illegal — an illegal — in Texas and you’ve lived there for three years, you can go to college there and get a $100,000 break on your tuition. These magnets have got to stop,” Romney said. A packed VFW hall cheered the knock at Perry’s support for in-state tuition for illegal immigrants.

Less than three months before the first voting of the GOP nomination fight, the candidates are raising a host of issues that don’t speak directly to addressing the nation’s 9.1 percent unemployment rate or the frail economy. They do talk about jobs and the economy to varying degrees. But few — if any — have talked in specifics, preferring to stick to general Republican orthodoxy of lower taxes, less spending and rolled-back regulations as a way to fix what ails the country. They differ little on prescriptions.

The man they hope to oust from the White House, President Barack Obama, has fo-

cused much more on the economy. Today, he will be talking about jobs in Pittsburgh, and on Friday he will travel to a suburban Detroit auto plant — with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, who’s in the U.S. for a visit expected to focus on trade.

Only a few of the Republicans — Romney and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman among them — have rolled out plans aimed at stimulating growth in a country that some fear is teetering on the edge of a double-dip recession. Perry, who joined the race in midAugust, plans to announce his economic plan this fall. Businessman Herman Cain has spelled out a tax reform plan.

The campaigns argue that the nation’s economic woes are directly linked to such issues as immigration and health care. And they note that voters will ask the questions they want — even if they stray from what they tell pollsters are their top issues.

A recent Associated PressGfK poll found 97 percent of Republicans saying the economy is extremely or very important, similar to the share of Democrats calling it that important. But Republicans give more attention to other issues — immigration, abortion and a candidate’s religion — than Democrats and independents do, which could explain why the GOP race sometimes seems focused on issues other than the economy.

Wall Street protests taking financial toll on NYPD

By Meghan Barr Associated Press

NEW YORK — As the protest on Wall Street enters its fourth week, police officers are keeping their posts around the perimeter of the park at the center of it all.

And with no end in sight, the cost of constant police surveillance will continue to rise at a time when Mayor Michael Bloomberg has ordered citywide budget cuts.

The New York Police Department already has spent $1.9 million, mostly in overtime pay, to patrol the area near Zuccotti Park, where hundreds of protesters have camped out for several weeks. Though cold weather is on the way in, protesters don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. They’re prepared to stay put for the long haul.

“The bottom line is that people want to express themselves, and as long as they obey the laws, we allow them to,” Bloomberg told reporters Monday when asked about the protesters’ staying pow-

er. “If they break the laws, then we’re going to do what we’re supposed to do — enforce the laws.”

Last week, Bloomberg ordered all agencies to prepare to cut expenses by a total of $2 billion during the next 18 months. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the budget cuts may cause the cancellation of a new class of police officers entering the academy in January.

Police officials would not comment Monday on whether the Occupy Wall Street protest would have any bearing on how the budget cuts would play out. A spokesman for Bloomberg declined to comment on any financial issues.

“We always prefer to not spend overtime, but again, this is a big complex city, lots of things going on,” Kelly said last week, describing the protesters’ effect on the NYPD. “And we have to spend overtime for unplanned operations.”

The protesters say they’re fighting for the “99 percent,” or the vast majority of Americans who do not fall into

Woman gives birth after running marathon CHICAGO (AP) — Amber Miller felt contractions just minutes after crossing the finish line at the Chicago Marathon. A few hours later, the suburban Chicago woman, who slogged her way through 26.2 miles while nearly 39 weeks pregnant, delivered a healthy baby girl.

“For me, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. I was running up until that point anyway,” Miller told The Associated Press in an interview from the hospital where she was recovering Monday. “I am crazy about running.”

Sunday’s marathon was the eighth for the 27-year-old, who has been running for more than a dozen years. She found out she was pregnant with her second child days after signing up for the Chicago race and decided to play it by ear on whether or not she would run.

When the baby hadn’t been born by Sunday, she got clearance from her doctor to run half. She completed it with a with a half-run half-walk approach, drinking lots of fluids and eating a lot along the way.

She finished in 6:25:50, much slower than her usual marathon time, but still content.

“Lots of people were cheering me on: ‘Go pregnant lady!’” she said. “I was expecting some negative comments. I don’t remember anything.”

It was not Miller’s first marathon while pregnant.

In May, the Westchester woman ran the Wisconsin Marathon in 4:23:07 while 17 weeks pregnant with her daughter. In 2009, she ran the Indianapolis Marathon in 4:30:27 while she was 18 weeks pregnant with her son Caleb, who’s 1.

On Monday, the Rev. Al Sharpton and rapper Kanye West made impromptu appearances at the park. A group of mothers also took small children downtown to teach them about the movement, calling themselves the “99 Percent School.”

Congress takes up China, free trade, jobs bills

By Jim Abrams Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Congress is embarking on a flurry of votes to show it is trying to do something about creating jobs. The prospects for legislative success, however, are spotty.

One exception is in the area of trade. Congress is expected to approve free trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama that have been pending since the presidency of George W. Bush. Supporters of the treaties — the first completed in the Obama administration — say the pacts could boost exports by $13 billion a year and foster tens of thousands of American jobs.

The House takes up the three agreements today,

along with legislation pushed

by Obama and Democrats to help workers displaced by foreign trade. Both chambers could sign off on the measures by Wednesday night.

The Senate this evening is also holding a procedural vote on the $447 billion plan to promote job growth, which Obama proposed in a slightly different form a month ago.

Republicans appear united in opposition, and Democrats, with 53 votes in the Senate, face a difficult task in coming up with the 60 votes needed to keep the bill alive.

The Senate today is also expected to pass legislation to impose tariffs on Chinese exports if the Beijing government continues to keep its currency undervalued. Supporters say the measure will make American producers

more competitive and bring jobs back home.

The bill enjoys broad bipartisan support from senators who for years have been hearing complaints from constituents blaming unfair competition from China for shuttering U.S. factories and putting Americans out of work.

But the bill faces an uncertain future.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, opposes it and may never bring it to the House floor. Obama and the White House, while avoiding a position on the bill, have warned against unilateral action that might violate international trading rules.

American companies doing business in China warn that it could spark a trade war.

But with the trade deficit

with China hitting $273 billion last year and heading toward $300 billion this year, senators said it was time to get tough.

“If China continues its predatory practices, the future for our children and grandchildren in this country will not be bright,” said Sen. Charles Schumer, DN.Y. who has tried numerous times in past years to slap sanctions on the Chinese.

Economists say China’s currency, the yuan, is undervalued by about 25 to 30 percent, and possibly by as much as 40 percent against the dollar. That means that Chinese goods sold in the United States have a 25 to 30 percent price advantage, and U.S. goods exported to China face a disadvantage of that same amount.

ficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs,” Hastings said in the blog post Monday.

Netflix’s decision to stay one website is likely to please subscribers. But its turbulent relationship with subscribers over the last three months raises questions about the company’s management, as it attempts the transition from a DVD-by-mail business to one that largely delivers movies streamed over the Internet. Netflix movies can already be streamed directly to PCs, smartphones, tablets, DVD players, game consoles and TV sets.

The Qwikster announcement was a follow-up to the July price change. Analysts saw it as a way for Netflix to distance itself from the older DVD business, which has less future potential than Internet streaming.

Netflix had 24.6 million subscribers at the end of June, but it warned last month that it expected a net 600,000 to leave by the end of September because of the price increase. That would be by far the worst downturn in the company’s history. Netflix reports final figures on Oct. 24 for the quarter that ended in September.

Even with Monday’s premarket bounce, Netflix’s shares have been savaged by the price change and the Qwikster initiative. They’ve lost more than half their value since July.

Poehler price tag Saving a historical industrial building in East Lawrence is appealing, but the public price tag for the project is a bit daunting.

T

he Poehler Mercantile building and the East Lawrence industrial district it anchored are an important part of Lawrence’s history. It would be great to see that building redeveloped into a rent-controlled apartment building that provides affordable housing in the area. Additional plans by the same developer to turn the former Kansas Fruit Vinegar Co. building into artist studios with an outdoor reception and exhibition area also represent a tantalizing possibility.

That being said, a request to pledge almost $1.4 million in public support to the project should give city officials pause.

Kansas City developers working on this project have said all along that it probably wouldn’t work without some financial assistance from the city. At their meeting tonight, Lawrence city commissioners will consider whether to approve the package that has been proposed or perhaps seek to negotiate a different deal.

The proposed package includes $1.1 million to improve the 800 block of Delaware Street and the alley behind the property and build a new public parking lot there. Almost $300,000 would be spent on water and sewer improvements, partial funding for a fire sprinkler system and improvements to Eighth Street. City staff members say the project could be funded without a tax increase by incurring new debt from the city and using water, sewer and storm water funds.

There are a couple of serious issues for city commissioners to consider in this discussion. First, they should be sure that the project couldn’t be done with a smaller public investment. Initial requests for public incentives for the Masonic Temple at 10th and Massachusetts were trimmed significantly after further discussions.

The other issue is a matter of priorities.

There are many good ways for the city and its taxpayers to spend $1.4 million. Is this the best way? Does the city have other priorities that are more important? It’s also not a particularly politic time to be taking money from the city’s water and sewer fund to finance a special project. City utility customers are just learning about how excess money in that fund is routinely transferred into the general fund to pay expenses unconnected with providing the specific service for which customers are paying.

From a historical preservation standpoint, this project appears to be a winner. It would save a significant part of Lawrence’s history and, if all goes as planned, it could provide a significant center of activity in Lawrence’s oldest neighborhood. From a financial standpoint, it’s more questionable. It’s hard to put a price tag on what such a development could mean for the city, but as the representatives of Lawrence taxpayers, city commissioners have to try. Like so many other potential city expenditures, supporting the Poehler project would certainly be desirable, but the city simply cannot afford to do them all.

U.S. must send clear message to Pakistan Last week marked the 10th anniversary of the war in Afghanistan. U.S. troops are starting to leave. And NATO is supposed to turn over security responsibility to Afghans by the end of 2014 — although the Afghan army is far from ready to counter Taliban violence.

Yet the most potent threat to Afghanistan — and to U.S. plans to withdraw troops — doesn’t come from the Taliban. It comes from our supposed ally the Pakistani military — which gives the Taliban the means to fight on.

This dirty secret burst into the open last month, when the departing chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Adm. Mike Mullen, called Pakistan’s bluff in testimony before Congress.

Mullen had tried for years, with occasional success, to privately persuade his Pakistani counterparts to shift gears. But his patience wore thin after Osama bin Laden was found in a Pakistani garrison town and the Pakistani military denied all knowledge of his presence. Mullen lost all patience after the Taliban’s Haqqani network targeted U.S. diplomats and soldiers in several attacks.

U.S. officials believe Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) signed off on those attacks.

Mullen was not speaking on his own when he suggested that, as some reports claim; his testimony was shared with the National Security Council and the State Department before he gave it. And his charges were echoed by Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta, who testified at his side.

“

trubin@phillynews.com

But officials are still debating whether the Pakistani military can be pressured to change direction. The Obama team will need to think strategically about how to apply the squeeze.

Mullen’s harsh words reflected widespread recognition within the administration that Pakistan’s dissembling can no longer be tolerated. But officials are still debating whether the Pakistani military can be pressured to change direction. The Obama team will need to think strategically about how to apply the squeeze.

One man with good ideas on the subject is Peter Tomsen, a career diplomat who served as special U.S. envoy to the Afghan resistance from 1989 to 1992. Tomsen has just written a fascinating tome, “The Wars of Afghanistan,” which describes how the ISI funneled U.S. and Saudi money to the most radical Afghan Islamist groups during the 1980s struggle against the Soviets, and how it backed the

the U.S. list of state sponsors of terror, which would mean U.S. and possibly European sanctions. !" Make military aid contingent on real Pakistani cooperation against terrorists. (Tomsen is more reluctant for now to cut civilian aid, since Pakistan’s weak civilian government is not party to ISI machinations.) !"Give up illusions about talks with the Taliban. Pakistan has made clear that it will undermine such talks, unless they put its proxies in power; the ISI may have been behind the recent murder of Afghanistan’s chief negotiator with the Taliban. !" Rally Afghanistan’s neighbors and other global powers concerned about Afghan chaos to pressure Islamabad. That includes India, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and China — which may sell Pakistan weapons but will not be the sugar daddy Pakistan hopes for. !" Don’t send ground forces into Pakistan. It’s too risky and could be counterproductive.

“Our goal is to get Pakistan to change voluntarily,” Tomsen said.

But the administration’s message should be clear. Pakistan must choose: Halt terrorism by groups under its sway or face diplomatic isolation, with stark economic consequences. If Pakistan’s military and the ISI continue to back extremists who kill Americans, they become America’s enemy — with all the consequences that entails.

ascension of the Taliban to power in 1996. Tomsen also details how the ISI consistently undermined the rise of more moderate Afghan leaders.

All too often, the CIA endorsed ISI misdeeds. But, given current ISI support for terrorist groups that threaten the United States, that relationship has also soured.

“The Taliban is very dependent on Pakistan for money, training, and weapons, without which they would vanish,” Tomsen said. He said the ISI was trying to use the Taliban “to create a friendly government in Kabul that is dependent on Pakistan” and will be hostile to its archenemy, India, once the Americans have gone home.

This strategy is delusional and could backfire on Pakistan. Key Afghan Taliban groups such as the Haqqani network have links to Pakistani extremists who are fighting the Pakistani army and threaten the state.

Moreover, continued ISI support for the Taliban could trigger a new civil war in Afghanistan that boomerangs on Pakistan.

Tomsen says the ISI, which he lumps in with other foreign invaders of Afghanistan, will be unable to control Kabul via proxies.

Yet he thinks the ISI will take the risk, preferring an Afghanistan “in perpetual war, so long as India can’t get control.”

So what’s to be done? Here are Tomsen’s suggestions: !"Put the Haqqani network on the terrorist list for its bloody attacks on Afghan civilians. !" Threaten to put Pakistan on

No transparency To the editor: I read in Sunday’s paper that our beloved governor has formed a task force to reorganize tax policies in Kansas. So sorry, the names of the members on the task force are a state secret. So sorry, what their backgrounds are and what stake they have in the outcome is a state secret. The only transparency is that they have no interest in bipartisan consultations until the bill is ready to be voted upon (read: shoved down our throats).

The $75,000 fee for advice from an expert on supply-side economics is like asking my barber if I need a haircut. What’s he going say? “No”? This autocratic regime’s policies continue to smell like the same garbage coming out of the Republicans in Washington. Lower taxes for the rich to produce jobs. Don’t worry, the money will trickle down. What could possibly go wrong? One day, when we look back on the mess Brownie is making of our lives, we just may ask, “How could we have let him do that?” What happened to open meeting laws?

Repeat mistakes?

To the editor: This Sunday, like most Sundays, I went down to my hometown, Garnett. We drove around beautiful Lake Garnett and, on the way there, we passed the public swimming pool and the high school

versity of Kansas. I have already incurred thousands of dollars of debt pursuing what I think is a sensible, safe degree that will hopefully result in a stable job.

However, I know from looking at my parents and reading other people’s experiences online that I will most likely spend the next 20 years or more trying to pay off my student loans. I am afraid to continue my education because I am afraid that as a result of the extreme debt I will incur, I will one day be jobless and maybe homeless, unable to marry someone I love or unable to raise children.

Recently I learned that there is a movement to encourage institutions to forgive student loan debt. Everyone should be aware of this movement and understand what a good idea it is. For one thing, students go to universities not just for their own entertainment but to gain a valuable education to build our roads and write our laws and design and construct the clothing we wear and the furniture we sit on, and many other important things. It should not be so ridiculously expensive to attend a university that intelligent people cannot afford to get the education they want and need.

Furthermore, millions of Americans who are struggling under the weight of college debt are being forced to put off buying homes, marrying, having children, and — this one is important to all of us — starting businesses.

We bailed out the financial industry. It is time for them to do something for us in return.

To the editor: Lillian Kopaska-Merkel, I am a sophomore at the UniLawrence

football stadium (Go Bulldogs!).

All of these were part of a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) project from the mid-1930s, which I am told that my grandfather worked on. In modern political lingo, the CCC would be a “failed economic stimulus program.”

True, the CCC and other stimulus programs like the Works Projects Administration (WPA) did not completely end the Great Depression, not because they were bad ideas, most economists now agree, but because they weren’t big enough. Still, they put millions of people back to work, created public assets of lasting value, and helped get the American economy working again — until 1937.

In 1937, public spending on the WPA and other stimulus programs was slashed, and the Depression returned. Sound familiar? The United Kingdom is already a year ahead of us down this path and they are already reaping the rewards in the form of rising unemployment and decreasing prosperity. Fortunately, here in the United States we have pragmatic leaders with a good knowledge of history and economics, rather than demagogues with a religious devotion to potentially disastrous social and economic policies, and they would never repeat the mistakes of the past.

On second thought, this might be a good time to start saving acorns for the winter.

Forgive loans

Messy input To the editor: With tax revenues up, the governor has a task force working in private to figure out ways to distribute this surplus via tax cuts. Such a wise course of action to keep this quiet; avoid the troubles and hassles associated with being open book or drawing from others with views that differ from your own ideological, economic and educational world view.

I mean, really, formulating solutions using input from diverse voices and with a better chance of statewide buy-in is so overrated, as is, apparently, a strong Kansas public education system. Sure, state spending per pupil has plummeted to pre2000 levels, schools are closing and consolidating, class sizes are increasing, schools are in need of capital improvements, our state and national student performance levels are stagnant, etc., but there really are far better ways to use this revenue than reinstating previous education cuts.

With Wall Street and corporate America already sitting on $2 trillion in cash, I’m sure that distributing this extra hundreds of millions of dollars to businesses and individuals throughout our state will result in a flood of spending and job creation. So let the governor and your state representatives know how well you appreciate their wonderfully farsighted actions.

TCU COACH GARY PATTERSON LEADS THE HORNED FROGS ONTO THE FIELD before their game against SMU in this file photo from Oct. 1 in Forth Worth, Texas. TCU announced Monday it would join the Big 12 Conference.

Beware of the Frogs ————

Texas Christian officially accepts invitation to join Big 12 “

By Angela K. Brown

Associated Press Writer

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — TCU accepted an invitation to join the Big 12 on Monday night, seizing an opportunity to be a part of a conference with natural geographic rivals despite the league’s recent instability.

The board of trustees unanimously approved the move, and Chancellor Victor Boschini Jr. made the expected announcement in front a packed room of more than 200 people. Athletic director Chris Del Conte fought back tears as he recalled receiving the phone call from the Horned Frogs’ new conference last week.

“This is living proof that dreams do come true,” he said.

The move could provide some much-needed stability for the Big 12, which lost Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-12) over the summer and will lose Texas A&M to the Southeastern Conference next year. Missouri is also exploring a move to the SEC. TCU has a strong football background that includes celebrated athletes from the 1930s — including Heisman Trophy winner Davey O’Brien and All-American Sammy Baugh, who both played in the NFL. More recent alums include New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson and Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton.

This is living proof that dreams do come true.”

— TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte

The Horned Frogs went 13-0 last season and won the Rose Bowl. They also went undefeated in the 2009 regular season, then lost to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.

“It was a challenge winning the Rose Bowl ... and there’s been a lot of people that told us we couldn’t do a lot of different things, and so we’re going to take it one step at a time,” football coach Gary Patterson said after the announcement.

“It’s not going to be easy ... but I

do believe that if the Big 12 did not feel like we couldn’t be competitive in the league, then they wouldn’t have asked us.”

Patterson said the financial benefit of being in the Big 12 and resuming those rivalries also will help Fort Worth.

“Are you going to win 10 to 12 games every year? Probably not,” Patterson said. “But the key is ... to have a chance to challenge for the conference title, always try to get back to bowl games, and that’s going to be our goal is to do it like we’ve always done it: one game at a time.”

Big 12 Interim Commissioner Chuck Neinas told the crowd that TCU has an outstanding academic record as well as athletics.

“Chancellor, TCU has traveled a long path, been to different places. Sir, I’d like to welcome you home,” Neinas said.

TCU currently competes in the Mountain West Conference and was set to join the Big East next July. Instead, the Big 12 went public with its interest in TCU last week and set the stage for the private university to stay closer to home. It officially joins the Big 12 on July 1.

Del Conte said TCU will not be required to give the 27 months’ notice to leave the Big East but must pay the exit fee. He declined to confirm it was the $5 million required by the Big East policy.

LHS team, two Firebirds make golf state

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

Lawrence High’s girls golf team qualified for state for the second year in a row after a second-place finish at a Class 6A regional meet Monday at Alvamar Golf Club.

The Lions expected to finish runner-up to Shawnee Mission East.

“Their two top girls are the difference between us being right there on their heels or them getting away from us,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said.

SME got away. The Lancers had the top two golfers at regionals: Anne Willman, who won with a 72, and Jessica Young who shot 79.

LHS shot 389 as a team, 47

strokes behind SME’s 342. LHS senior Payton Covert and sophomore Abigail Schmidtberger led the Lions, each shooting a 93. Schmidtberger was awarded fourth and Covert fifth.

Covert said it was difficult to compete individually with the Lancers.

“We have five or six good golfers versus East, where they have one outstanding golfer and another very good golfer,” she said.

Regardless, the team was very pleased with its performance, especially Covert, who has struggled lately. She shot a 108 in last week’s Sunflower League tournament and shaved 15 strokes from that Monday.

Lewis said it was her mind holding her back. Covert said

“That saved my score,” she said.

The other two Lions who contributed to the team score finished in the top 10. Quillen Eichhorn was ninth with a 101, and Attie Pennybaker was a stroke back in 10th.

Kansas University’s seasonopening “Late Night” basketball extravaganza, which this year is set for 6:30 p.m. Friday in Allen Fieldhouse, has always been about introducing the current Jayhawks to their legions of fans.

Perhaps just as important, however, is the fact, “you’ve

got all the recruits coming in the fans want to see,” said former KU guard Xavier Henry of the Memphis Grizzlies, who attended several Late Nights as a prospect out of Oklahoma City.

“It’s one of the biggest nights of the year. It’s crazy, a packed house. The love they (fans) show us in Kansas basketball is amazing for everybody to see.”

With his team penciled in as a 35-point favorite over Kansas University on Saturday, Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops was asked Monday morning on the Big 12 coaches teleconference about his philosophy on running up the score.

“I always think, at the end of day, heck, the other team needs to stop you,” Stoops said. “That’s how I would feel, I know that.”

With Kansas (2-3 overall, 0-2 Big 12) coming off of one of its worst defensive performances in school history, the focus has shifted from what KU must do to compete to just how much worse it can get. Last week in Stillwater, Okla., Oklahoma State pounded KU, 70-28, and jumped out to leads of 35-7 after one quarter and 56-7 at halftime.

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy, who chose to rest several of his starters when the Cowboys jumped ahead 49-7 in the second quarter Saturday, shared Stoops’ thoughts.

NBA cancels first 2 weeks of season NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sticking to his deadline, NBA Commissioner David Stern erased the first two weeks of the season after negotiations failed to produce a new labor deal and warned that more games were in jeopardy of being cut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With every day that goes by, I think we need to look at further reductions in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of the season,â&#x20AC;? Stern said.

The cancellations mark the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first work stoppage since the 1998-99 season was reduced to 50 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The gap is so significant that we just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bridge it at this time,â&#x20AC;? Stern said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We certainly hoped it would never come to this.â&#x20AC;?

Union president Derek Fisher agreed, emphasizing that missing any games puts the season in jeopardy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not where we choose to be,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not at a place where a fair deal can be reached with the NBA.â&#x20AC;?

Stern said last week he would cancel the first two weeks of the season Monday without a new collective bargaining agreement. Top negotiators for both sides met for more than seven hours Monday, the longest session to date, after bargaining for more than five hours Sunday. The two sides expect to remain in contact, but no additional formal talks have been scheduled.

Stern said both sides are â&#x20AC;&#x153;very far apart on virtually all issues. ... We just have a gulf that separates us.â&#x20AC;?

Opening night was scheduled for Nov. 1, and the cancellation includes all games scheduled to be played through Nov. 14 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; exactly 100 games. Affected arenas have been authorized to release dates for those dates.

Based on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s average announced attendance leaguewide (just over 17,300 per game) and the average ticket cost last season, those now-canceled 100 games represent nearly $83 million in lost ticket sales â&#x20AC;&#x201D; before the first concession or souvenir is sold and before the first car pays to park.

With another work stoppage, the NBA risks alienating a fan base that sent the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenues and TV ratings soaring during the 2010-11 season. And the cost of cancellations would be staggering. Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said the league would lose hundreds of millions of dollars, while union executive director Billy Hunter estimated playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; losses at $350 million for each month they were locked out.

Now ushers, security personnel, parking lot attendants, concession workers, restaurant employees and others all stand to have their hours cut or join the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14 million unemployed. A few teams also have either trimmed their staffs or instituted sharp pay cuts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some did that as the lockout began â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and more layoffs could be forthcoming.

Hunter said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the full season was in jeopardy yet and stressed it would be a mistake for the NBA to risk it coming off a season when revenues and TV ratings soared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would be foolish for them to kill the season, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming off the best season in the history of the NBA and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not so sure in this kind of economy that if there is a protracted lockout whether the league will recover,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took us a while to recover from the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;98 lockout, and I think it will take us even longer to recover this time around.â&#x20AC;?

For the second straight day the sides focused on salary cap system issues instead of the division of revenue split.

Stern said the players still proposed they get 53 percent of revenues, whereas the league proposed they get 47 percent.

The two sides had discussed a 50-50 split last week but only in informal discussions.

Both sides stressed it was the system issues, not the revenue split, that turned out to be the larger obstacle Monday.

Before Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, A&M athletic director Bill Byrne said that manure went â&#x20AC;&#x153;from one end to the otherâ&#x20AC;? in one bus and was spread on the outside of three others.

Calvillo broke the record on the final play of the third quarter in the Alouettesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 29-19 victory. Calvillo, who played for Utah State, was 26 of 38 for 305 yards in the game to bring his career total to 72,429 yards.

Mike Stoops fired at UA TUCSON, ARIZ. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Coach Mike Stoops has been fired halfway through his eighth season at Arizona.

Athletic director Greg Byrne announced Stoopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dismissal at a news conference Monday evening, two days after the Wildcats lost their fifth straight game, 37-27, at previously winless Oregon State.

Dating to last season, Arizona has lost 10 of 11 games, the lone victory this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener over Northern Arizona, a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) school. The Wildcats last beat a Football Bowl Subdivision team in a game against UCLA on Oct. 30, 2010.

Coach Pat Shurmur said Benard is in stable condition and will be transferred to the Cleveland Clinic for further tests and evaluation.

Benard will likely miss significant time and may have to go on injured reserve. But it appears he avoided a more serious injury after crashing his motorcycle near Interstate-71 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a short drive from the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training facility.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not yet known if any other vehicles were involved in the accident.

Beloit player recovering SALINA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A high school football player from north-central Kansas is being treated for a head injury at a Wichita hospital.

The Salina Journal reports that 16-year-old Beloit High player Jadon Adams collapsed during halftime of Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Southeast of Saline.

His father told the newspaper Monday that Adams is improving steadily at Wesley Medical Center but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully regained consciousness.

Jeff Adams says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear that his son was injured in a specific play Friday night. He says the injury might have been caused by a hit he took in practice earlier last week.

THE QUOTE

Lions remain undefeated with 24-13 victory over Bears DETROIT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matthew Staffordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second touchdown pass put Detroit ahead in the third, and Jahvid Bestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 88-yard run later in the quarter gave the Lions a double-digit lead in a 24-13 victory over the Chicago Bears on Monday night.

The Lions (5-0) are undefeated through five games for the first time since 1956 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the year before their last NFL title.

The defending NFC North champion Bears (2-3) are off to their worst start since 2007. They are three games behind Detroit and defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay (5-0) in the division.

Detroit and its fans were clearly fired up for the franchiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Monday night game in a decade.

The Lions had their largest crowd at Ford Field and the 67,861

fans created enough noise to rattle the Bears into nine false starts.

Chicago quieted the fans briefly by taking a 10-7 lead just before halftime and seemed to make them a little nervous by pulling within eight points with 4:07 left to play.

Best, though, made them roar again with a 43-yard run that was capped by a horse-collar penalty that gave Detroit the ball at the

Chicago 22. He ran for another first down that took time off the clock and set up Jason Hansonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 31-yard kick with 1:56 to go to seal the victory.

The Lions made big plays on offense and a lot of solid and subtle ones on defense, holding Chicago to just three points in the second half.

Bestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 88-yard run was the second-longest in franchise history.

MU hoping for $12M more

By Alan Scher Zagier Associated Press Writer

Missouri is exploring a move to the Southeastern Conference in hopes of getting as much as $12 million each year in additional TV and cable revenue, according to a confidential document obtained by the Associated Press.

The 45-page document, which was reviewed by Missouri’s governing board of curators on Oct. 4, outlines the pros and cons of leaving the Big 12 Conference for the SEC. It was obtained from a university official familiar with the discussions who is not authorized to speak publicly.

Among other things, the report outlines the possible contours of broad conference realignment, and it includes recent upheaval in the ACC and Big East.

Run it up CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“I think every coach has their own opinion, and I am not sure if anybody is right or wrong,” Gundy said. “From a defensive standpoint, I have always felt it was our responsibility to stop the other team, and that is our approach. I don’t think it is the other team’s responsibility to take care of us. From an offensive standpoint, when we got ahead by 40 points with five minutes to go in the second quarter, I don’t see why the other young men in our program who work hard and don’t get a chance to play should not have an opportunity to get on the field, especially since we were at home and they could play in front of their friends and family.”

Like the Cowboys, who rank second in the nation in total offense, the Sooners, ranked sixth, come to town with a high-powered offensive attack led by one of the country’s top quarterbacks, Landry Jones, and a potent crop of powerful wide receivers. Through five games, OU (5-0, 2-0) has racked up more than 2,600 yards of offense and 28 touchdowns, all against a schedule that ranks as the toughest in the country, according to the Congrove Computer Rankings.

While averaging 535 yards per game this season, OU has rolled up 45 points per outing against stiff competition.

Already, the Sooners boast victories at Florida State, at home against Missouri and against Texas last weekend in Dallas. OU won those three games by an average score of 39-19.

All those factors, and more, point to the Sooners having a good shot to set the scoreboard on fire this weekend in Lawrence. While the numbers may indicate that possibility, Stoops said he never has gone into a game seeking to run it up.

Under the heading of “possible future conferences” for the Big 12, it lists BYU, Louisville, TCU, West Virginia and Notre Dame (excluding football) as potential new members that could restore the fractured league to full strength. TCU announced later Monday it was indeed joining the Big 12.

Missouri curators voted unanimously last week to give Chancellor Brady Deaton authority to explore a departure from the Big 12.

The document compares the Big 12 and SEC, and outlines an array of considerations, from faculty honors to the increased travel costs to SEC campuses from Columbia, Mo. The report said Missouri would not suffer a dramatic loss in academic prestige with an SEC move. The SEC has three other members

of the prestigious Association of American Universities: Florida, soon-to-arrive Texas A&M and Vanderbilt, the same number as the Big 12 now has, excluding Missouri.

However, Missouri would rank lower overall in the SEC than it does in the Big 12 in terms of enrollment, faculty members who belong to the National Academy of Sciences, federal research financing, average SAT scores and athlete graduation rates.

When it comes to money, the report makes clear that Missouri is hopeful for a much bigger payday in the SEC. The report suggests Missouri could earn $17.16 million in Big 12 TV money in fiscal year 2012, compared to $19.25 million from an SEC deal.

It also envisions a far big-

“I don’t think anybody tries to,” Stoops said. “I think sometimes games, for whatever reason, whether it’s turnovers or whatnot, can get out of hand. But I don’t think anyone intentionally … well, it’s probably not fair to say anyone.... it’s just one of those things that when it happens you gotta deal with it.”

Clearly, lopsided outcomes are tough on the teams who wind up on the losing end.

But Stoops said big-time blowouts are no picnic for the victors, either.

“It’s one of the more frustrating situations,” he said.

“Because you’re not sure how to handle it. You want your young guys that are in there to keep playing. It can be difficult.”

It’s actually easier on the road, where teams in the Big 12 are allowed to bring just 70 players on their traveling squad. So, while Oklahoma State was able to play its third- and fourth-string guys during last week’s blowout, the Sooners will be limited to playing the guys they bring no matter how the game unfolds. For Kansas, that could be bad news, particularly because Stoops said Monday his team had yet to reach its potential.

“It’s only the (sixth) game, and the really good teams keep getting better,” Stoops said. “I think our guys will take that to heart. We’re watching the tape, and we’ve got a lot we can get better at.

We’re not playing as well, overall, as we can, so let’s push for that. The better teams we’ve had here, where we’ve won championships or had opportunities to, we got better as the year went.”

Kansas and OU will kick off at 8:15 p.m. Saturday.

The game will be shown on ESPN2.

were not doing what they were told to do in some cases,” Gill said. “We just have to continue to correct those things and continue to try to get better at it.”

Asked further about the tackling concerns, Gill said the team addresses it each week.

“We have a few plays in practice on Tuesdays where we will go live,” he said.

“Probably six plays or so where we’ll try to get some of that going. You can’t tackle all day long, but you can work on your technique, you can do things to make sure you’re in the right position, and that way you don’t have to be truly tackling but you can face up the ball carrier and still Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo work on your technique and do what we call two-hand tag FREE STATE’S LIZ HAZLETT at the hip and get yourself in watches her putt roll toward the hole during regionals Monday at position to make the play.”

ger “per member share potential” should a larger SEC — with millions of more eyeballs in Texas and the Midwest — renegotiate its top-tier TV rights -- up to $12 million more per year.

Missouri could also “leverage (its) Tier 3 more,” the report concludes, a reference to the TV rights not committed to cable networks but instead available as for pay-per-broadcast as well as school- and conferencespecific networks such as the Longhorn Network, the Texas-ESPN enterprise blamed by some for throwing the Big 12 into turmoil.

“There are 33 million reasons” to join the SEC, said a second university official who had reviewed the report.

SEC leaders met Monday for their regularly scheduled fall session but took no action on expansion.

TCU FACT SHEET Location: Fort Worth, Texas Enrollment: 9,518 (8,229 Undergraduate) Founded: 1873 Colors: Purple and White Chancellor: Dr. Victor J. Boschini, Jr. Nickname: Horned Frogs Director of Athletics: Chris Del Conte FOOTBALL ACCOMPLISHMENTS " TCU is the only school in the nation to finish in the top 10 of the season-ending Associated Press and USA Today polls each of the last three seasons. " TCU is one of just three schools to reach a BCS game each of the last two campaigns. " Over the last three years, TCU has an average finish of No. 5 in the season-ending top 25 polls, ranking first nationally. " Entering this season, the Frogs have recorded the second-highest win total in the nation since 2005, while winning 10 or more contests eight times since 2000. " TCU has 26 all-time bowl appearances in 16 different games. At least one has been in each of the four games that now constitute the Bowl Championships Series. " A $164 million renovation of TCU’s Amon G. Carter Stadium is under way with full completion in time for the 2012 season.

TCU CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Several Big 12 coaches welcomed the idea of having TCU in the league.

“They’re an excellent program,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. “You see what they’ve been doing throughout the year. I love the proximity for the fans. It’s another game that’s relatively close and in this region, so I think it’s great.”

Also Monday, Big East school leaders authorized the conference to add enough members to have 12 teams for football. With Syracuse and Pittsburgh leaving for the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big East would be down to six football schools without TCU: West Virginia, Louisville, Cincinnati, South Florida, Rutgers and Connecticut.

SEC leaders also met Monday for their regularly scheduled fall session but took no action on expansion. The league will have 13 members once Texas A&M joins in July, leading to speculation about whether Missouri or other schools will be added to balance things out.

As for the Big 12, adding TCU would give it 10 members going into next season without further changes.

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said he has “always been in favor of a Big 12 Conference with 12 teams.

Late Night CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“Late Night is a chance for some of the top recruits in the country to see what Kansas basketball is all about,” said Shay Wildeboor, recruiting analyst for jayhawkslant. com. “The tradition, the history, the fans are all on display in more a relaxed setting. Coach (Bill) Self talks to the crowd, there’s a scrimmage, but no game preparation. The coaches don’t have to scout a different team. The main focus is on the kids they are bringing in.

“A number are also taking unofficial visits. It gives the staff a chance to get a leg up on some kids.”

Indeed, several players from the Class of 2013 will be in Lawrence this weekend on unofficial visits.

They are: No. 8-ranked Chris Walker, 6-9 forward, Holmes County High, Bonifay, Fla.; No. 24 Allerik Freeman, 6-4 guard, Olympic

High, Charlotte, N.C.; No. 35 Brannen Greene, 6-7 forward, Mary Persons High, Forsyth, Ga.; No. 52 Isaiah Lewis, 6-2 guard, Christ the King High, Brooklyn, N.Y.; No. 71 Karviar Shepherd, 6-9, center, DeSoto (Texas) High; and Shepherd’s prep teammate Jordan Mickey, 6-7 forward, ranked No. 75.

“I did come to Late Night as a recruit. Once I saw that, it made me fall in love with the place,” said former KU forward Markieff Morris of the Phoenix Suns.

KU’s current players annually look forward to acting and dancing in skits as well as playing in a short scrimmage to conclude the proceedings. This year’s Late Night is slated to run 6:309:30 p.m. Friday. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Seating will be first-come, first-served. Children 12 and under will not be admitted without an adult. Fieldhouse doors will be closed when the arena reaches capacity.

ESPNU’s Sean Farnham will be at the 27th-annual Late Night providing live cut-ins for ESPNU’s Midnight Madness programming, which will run from 8 p.m. until 12 a.m. Late Night also will be broadcast on KLWN radio. !

Dear Annie: Two years ago, my family moved to the East Coast. I am active in the community and I also have a part-time job. My kids have made many friends. The problem is their parents.

Both my husband’s family and mine live in the Midwest, so making connections with people here is very important to us. We have had a couple of parties at our house in an effort to get to know people in our neighborhood. But no one ever invites us to their house or their parties. I meet lots of great people through my job, but only on a professional level. I’ve met parents through my kids’ school and sports, but no real friendships have developed.

Tim Allen returns in ‘Last Man Standing’ Tim Allen returns to prime time with the new comedy “Last Man Standing” (7 p.m., ABC). Don’t expect this to stick around as long as “Home Improvement.” ‘‘Man” becomes the latest in a string of shows to explore the theme of male insecurity. Mike (Allen) is a gruff and burly guy who has spent his professional career spanning the globe shooting photos for a high-end sports catalog. He’s half J. Peterman and half Ernest Hemingway. Unfortunately for Mike, the Internet has devoured the audience for catalogs. And he finds his job minimized at the exact same time that his perky wife Vanessa (Nancy Travis) has advanced at her firm, leaving Mike in charge of their three precocious girls, Eve, Mandy and Kristin, aged 13 to 20, as well as the baby born to single mom Kristin. What’s a man’s man to do?

What Mike does at first is make bold pronouncements about the decline of society. In an early scene he takes his grandchild out of day care because it seems too namby- pamby for him. (There was a similar moment recently on “Rescue Me” when Tommy (Denis Leary) freaked out on a playground that was much more effective and funny.)

This being a network sitcom, Mike quickly adjusts and puts his professional skills to work fixing personal problems.

This includes an awkward matchmaking moment between one of his staff and his daughter and a very high- tech approach to baby-proofing.

A multi-camera sitcom complete with laugh track, “Last Man” airs for a solid hour. Not even the best situation comedy could pull that off. And this is far from the best. Nancy Travis recently appeared in the TBS sitcom “The Bill Engvall Show,” a series that strived desperately and unsuccessfully to emulate the charms of the old-school sitcom. “Last Man” continues that tradition.

Tonight’s other highlights

Game Three of the American League Championship Series (6:30 p.m., Fox).

Mike Epps hosts the BET Hip Hop Awards (7 p.m., BET).

Live competition and elimination on “Dancing With the Stars” (8 p.m., ABC).

“History Detectives” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) explains the story behind a Civil War-era photograph depicting black soldiers fighting on the side of the Confederacy.

“Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) recalls the anthrax scare of autumn 2001 that terrified Americans in the weeks and months after 9/11, as well as the prolonged efforts to identify the culprit behind it.

With a crime scene compromised, Carrie’s mind offers the only evidence on “Unforgettable” (9 p.m., CBS).

Sarah’s past resurfaces on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC).

A modern-day Lazarus on “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC).

A package becomes a problem on “Sons of Anarchy” (9 p.m., FX).

A gunless gunfighter (Sterling Hayden), a mannish saloonkeeper (Joan Crawford) and a vengeful rancher (Mercedes McCambridge) face off in director Nicholas Ray’s very weird 1954 western “Johnny Guitar” (9 p.m., TCM). And Peggy Lee sings the theme song!

You also could join a local club, choir, political organization, book club, community theater, art or photography group and see if that garners you some friends with shared interests. Several of our readers have suggested meetup. com, and you might give that a try as well. Good luck.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, Oct. 11: You could find this year unusually challenging in the relationship department. You will go through many ups and downs, as others seem to always say no when you say yes, and vice versa. If you are single, you could attract many different types of people. If you are attached, let your sweetie have at least equal say if you want to keep the peace. Aries is direct, if nothing else.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Your sense of well-being can only add to your situation, multiplying the good vibes. Others seem unsure of themselves as they go through quite a swing, deciding what is right for them.

Tonight: All smiles.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Confusion surrounds nearly anything you take on. Others respond to today’s Full Moon by swinging from one thought to another. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Zero in on what you want. Clearly, an issue surrounds a decision. Do

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 23 years. We recently separated due to our 18-year-old son’s anger management issues and my wife’s sick parents.

She moved out nine months ago to take care of them.

Well, her parents died, and my son moved in with one of his friends. My wife’s brothers are doing everything they can to cut her out of the estate and throw my son in jail (he has a felony on his record).

Now my wife wants me back, but quite frankly, I do not want her back. I have moved on with my life and don’t want the headaches that she and my son have brought me for the past three years.

My attorneys have advised me to divorce, and my wife says they should be disbarred. Any advice? — Mr. Soon-to-Be Ex Dear Mr.: We realize your life has been difficult and unpleasant for three years, but still, you seem awfully eager to throw in the towel rather than explore what’s left now that the major headaches have been mostly resolved.

This is an opportunity to see if you and your wife still love each other and could make a good life together. Emotional exhaustion can interfere with your decision. Please get some counseling, with or without your wife. Make sure

NLCS: SERIES TIED 1-ALL

Pujols gets hot for Cards MILWAUKEE (AP) — Your turn, Albert Pujols.

The St. Louis slugger had one of the biggest postseason nights of his career in Game 2 of the NL championship series, going 4-for-5 with a home run, three doubles and five RBIs to lead the Cardinals past the Milwaukee Brewers, 12-3, on Monday.

Pujols belted a two-run homer in the first, a two-run double in the third and an RBI double in the fifth, then added another double in the seventh.

The crowd cheered sarcastically when the Brewers finally retired him in the eighth.

“Sometimes when they come, they come in a bunch,” Pujols said His big hits came one night after Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder bashed the Brewers to a 9-6, come-from-behind victory in Game 1.

This time, the big bats couldn’t bring Milwaukee back — even at Miller Park.

The best home team in the majors all season, the Brewers had won all four home games in the playoffs until Monday.

The series now shifts to St. Louis, where Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter faces Brewers right-hander Yovani Gallardo in Game 3 on Wednesday night.

Pujols can become a free agent after the World Series, so a big postseason could raise his price. He was 1-for-4 in Sunday night’s loss, hitting into a double play with runners on first and third in the seventh inning. A run scored on the play, but it seemed to be an indication that Pujols wasn’t quite on his game. He came into Monday with only one RBI in the Cardinals’ first six postseason games.

But he struck a confident tone when asked about his struggles after Sunday night’s loss, saying “Tomorrow I can come and blow it out, and

ST. LOUIS SLUGGER ALBERT PUJOLS, RIGHT, slides safely past Milwaukee’s Marco Estrada (41) to score during the fifth inning of Game 2 of the NLCS. The Cards beat the Brewers, 12-3, Monday in Milwaukee. what are you going to say tomorrow?”

Blow it out, he did.

“The last time we saw them at their place he was swinging the bat just like this,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. “You can’t make mistakes to him. You have to hit spots. You have to keep it down in the zone. He doesn’t miss too many mistakes.”

Rickie Weeks hit a two-run homer in the fourth for Milwaukee, then was involved in a disputed play in the fifth.

With the bases loaded and one out, Weeks grounded into a double play, though replays showed he was safe.

Weeks — hobbled by the lingering effects of a midseason left ankle injury — appeared to beat the throw to first base and seemed upset when he was called out.

But that play didn’t matter much after the Brewers gave up four runs in a backbreaking seventh inning. Fielder homered in the eighth, well after the outcome had been decided.

Cardinals starter Edwin Jackson went 4 1-3 innings, giving up Weeks’ home run.

Lance Lynn got the win.

It was a short and ugly start by Milwaukee’s Shaun Marcum, who gave up five

runs on seven hits in four innings and took the loss.

Marcum, obtained in an offseason trade with Toronto, struggled mightily in the final month of the season. After a rough outing in Game 3 of the NL division series against Arizona, his place in the Brewers’ postseason rotation might come into question.

“We’ll see how it goes,” Roenicke said, adding later: “As far as I’m concerned right now he’s pitching again.”

St. Louis got started early when Jon Jay bunted for a one-out hit in the first. Pujols came to the plate and delivered what amounted to a warning shot, hitting a long fly just foul. Then he zeroed in on Marcum’s 2-1 offering, smacking it to left field for a home run.

ALCS: RANGERS LEAD, 2-0

Cruz’s walk-off slam lifts Texas ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — The Texas Rangers are on Cruz control in the AL championship series.

Nelson Cruz hit the first game-ending grand slam in postseason history, lifting the defending American League champions over the Detroit Tigers, 7-3 in 11 innings, Monday for a 2-0 series lead.

“It’s an instant classic, no doubt about it,” teammate Ian Kinsler said. “When Nellie gets going like he’s going, he’s tough to beat.”

Cruz doubled early, chased Tigers starter Max Scherzer with a tying home run in the seventh and was hit by a fastball near his right wrist that sent him crumbling to the ground in pain in the ninth.

Then, with nobody out in the 11th after a misplay in the Detroit outfield loaded the bases, Cruz hit a high drive to left off Ryan Perry that sent 51,227 fans into a towel-waving frenzy. Cruz’s trip around the bases ended with him getting mobbed at the plate by the Rangers.

“It was amazing,” said Cruz, who had just fouled a ball deep into the stands near the pole. “First two pitches, I was too aggressive. I hit the ball — foul ball, foul ball. So after that, I told myself just slow down and try to hit a fly ball to the outfield.”

Cruz instead did something much grander, hitting the fourth slam in the playoffs this season.

After struggling in the first round against Tampa Bay, when he had only a single in 15 at-bats, Cruz is 4-for-7 with

The slam lifted the Rangers to a 7-3 victory Monday in Arlington, Texas, and to a 2-0 lead in the ALCS. three homers, a double and six RBIs in the ALCS. “What he done tonight, he’s capable of doing,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said.

Game 3 is Tuesday night in Detroit. Colby Lewis, 4-0 in five career postseason starts, pitches for Texas against Doug Fister.

Michael Young, the Rangers’ career hits leader, snapped an 0-for-15 postseason slide when he led off the 11th with a single off Perry, the fifth Detroit pitcher.

Adrian Beltre and Mike Napoli followed with singles,

the latter on a liner to rightcenter that looked as though it would be caught. Instead, right fielder Andy Dirks let the ball glance off his glove as center fielder Austin Jackson ran behind him.

“It was one of those balls that’s a little between us, should have been caught,” Dirks said, adding there was no miscommunication between him and Jackson.

The ball dropped for a single that loaded the bases.

That brought up Cruz, who also homered in Texas’ 3-2 win in the series opener.

slam was the first to end a postseason game — with a postscript.

Robin Ventura sent a bases-loaded drive over the fence to finish a New York Mets victory against Atlanta in the 1999 NLCS, but was swarmed by teammates between first and second.

Ventura never made it around the bases and was officially credited with an RBI single.

His 15th-inning drive for a 4-3 Mets win in Game 5 came to be known as “the grand slam-single.”

The Tigers and Rangers both blew bases-loaded chances in the ninth.
