ANN GABEL, DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION AND LEARNING SERVICES at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, smiles her way through a series of stretching exercises Wednesday during the first WorkWell Lawrence symposium at Holiday Inn Lawrence, 200 McDonald Drive. Gabel and other professionals listened to speakers talk about their efforts to help create a healthier workplace.

Focus on wellness in the workplace is profitable in more ways than one “There’s also this huge peer pressure.

If most of your coworkers smoke, you are more Larson likely to smoke. If all of your co-workers are giving up smoking, you are much more likely to engage in giving it up as well. It’s the peer pressure factor.”

Larson was the keynote speaker during the first WorkWell Lawrence Symposium on Wednesday at the Holiday Inn Lawrence.

We will do so with less staff, less resources, and severe constraints on our ability to effectively seek justice. But we will do so willingly to preserve the public safety of all the citizens of Shawnee County.”

It is estimated that 80 percent of health care costs are a result of our behavior: smoking, sitting on the couch, eating too many doughnuts.

One of the biggest influences on our behavior is the workplace, where we spend about 50 percent of our waking time and develop some of our closest relationships.

Lenora Larson, 68, who has worked in the health industry for years, said that’s why employers need to create a culture of wellness.

“For many of us, our most important relationships are our co-workers,” she said.

A 68-year-old man who lives just south of Lawrence is in an Illinois jail, charged with shooting his cousin to death on a family soybean field northwest of Champaign, Ill. Gerard James, 1144 E. 1000 Road, is being held in lieu of $1 million bond in the Champaign County Correctional Center. He’d been in the area for a few weeks, helping his brother harvest Gerard James soybeans on land they own together.

Last Friday, on an 80-acre field just north of Mahomet, Ill., Gerard James had been driving a grain truck while his brother, Alan, had been operating a combine.

The issue stems from SRS’ decision in July to close

nine local offices, including the one in Lawrence, which was by far the biggest of the planned closures. Siedlecki and Brownback said the decision was a cost-cutting move.

Officials in Lawrence said shutting the SRS office would have created havoc in delivering social services to thousands of residents.

The city and county then agreed to pay $450,000 to the state to keep the office open for two years. That will

cover rent, utilities and other costs. Some other towns made similar deals.

Under the agreement, Siedlecki promised to try to get adequate state funding in fiscal years after July 1, 2013, to keep the Lawrence office open.

Siedlecki said he will be glad to meet with legislators during the next session, which starts in January, to start to determine that funding.

Volunteers sought to help make city a retirement mecca

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Attracting retirees to Lawrence is going to be a job in itself.

Lawrence and Douglas County’s Retiree Attraction Task Force met for the first time Wednesday and made its first order of business to seek more volunteers who want to help the community become a retirement hot spot.

“We want to assess our strengths and weaknesses and really determine what we need to do to be able to promote Lawrence as a premiere retirement destination community,” said City Commissioner Hugh Carter, who is co-chairing the task force with Douglas County Commissioner Jim Flory.

To do that, though, will take a lot of study and more people.

The 12-member task force created four subcommittees that will study various aspects of the city’s retiree attraction efCarter forts. The task force is seeking residents who have expertise to offer to the subcommittees, which are: ! Medical services, social services, healthy lifestyles and volunteer opportunities. ! Financial, legal and transportation issues. ! Kansas University, education, cultural entertainment activities. ! Housing.

The task force expects to work through May to develop a report for city and county

commissioners. The group also will develop a comprehensive strategy spelling out how the community can promote itself as a retirement destination, including an attraction packet to send to retirees thinking about making a move.

Tapping into KU alumni is a significant part of the effort.

“Manhattan has put together a Retire to the Flint Hills program, and the leaders there have told us to really focus on the university,” said Cynthia Wagner, an assistant city manager working with the task force. “They said that is what will have the most success in bringing people back.”

The task force also will make recommendations about who should manage the community’s efforts to attract retirees, and Please see RETIREMENT, page 2A

Agricultural company eyes possible presence on KU’s West Campus

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Archer Daniels Midland, an agricultural refining company based in Decatur, Ill., is examining whether to establish a presence at Kansas University to bolster a working relationship with researchers at the university.

Precise details of any potential ADM presence in Lawrence haven’t been set, including how many people the company would seek to bring, or where they would locate.

“Nothing has been finalized,” said Bala Subramaniam, director of KU’s Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis, which has been working with ADM for years.

He said any potential new site for ADM researchers would be “a continuation of our partnership.”

KU’s CEBC has been working with the company on a number of projects. The CEBC received a $5.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier this year to explore ways of turning biomass into chemi-

Local companies weigh in During the symposium, representatives from four Lawrence companies talked about their wellness programs. Here are their success stories: # Hallmark Cards Inc. — Sally Luck, human resources director, said the company began offering an online incentive program in January.

Employees earn points by getting a health screening, exercising, joining a gym or participating in a tobacco cessation program. They can redeem the points for a gift card or paycheck credit. Each employee can earn up to $250 annually. She said about 4,500 employees are participating and have already earned about $500,000 in points. # Cottonwood Inc. — Gay Ann Quinn, training coordinator, said the company, which has about 250 employees, recently had a health fair with 14 vendors. The fair drew about 100 participants.

The company has had a wellness program since 2003 and they’ve found that “money

cals that could replace the petroleum-based chemicals used in a number of household items.

ADM matched a $1.2 million grant from the Kansas Bioscience Authority in 2009 for work with the CEBC’s biorefining efforts. And ADM invested another $1.4 million with the CEBC as part of its most recent USDA grant.

“It’s a continuation of our partnership,” Subramaniam said.

Garnering interest from ADM, a Fortune 500 company, has been good for KU, said Matthew McClorey, executive director of KU’s Bioscience and Technology Business Center on West Campus.

“Any time you have a company the size of ADM take notice of your technology, it’s a nice validation for your university,” McClorey said.

He said ADM has “discussed various options,” but hadn’t made any final decisions about a Lawrence presence.

works.” They are getting ready to offer a four-week wellness program and offering $250 in prizes. # KU Endowment Association — Clark Cropp, vice president for senior administration, said KUEA provides four hours of paid time off to employees who complete a Health Risk Assessment, or HRA, and a followup survey.

He said about 80 percent of its 140 employees complete the HRA. Next year, they plan to add a cost reduction on health insurance premiums for those who participate. # Allen Press — Angie Sommers, benefits coordinator, said the company offers four hours of paid time off for those who attend at least four seminars about health-related issues and complete an HRA. It has 268 employees and about 70 percent complete the health assessment.

Sommers’ goal is to have a smoke-free campus in 2012.

nearby, where he planned to burn the material.

Harlan gets out of the van, and walks up to the grain truck. He and Gerard meet — what, if anything, is said remains unknown.

From the combine, Alan hears shouting. Then a shot.

Harlan is dead, and Alan sees his brother holding a pistol, still sitting in the cab of the grain truck.

The brothers talk, and decide that someone should notify the authorities. Alan makes the call, and Gerard is arrested.

Gerard James doesn’t dispute what happened, Ogle said Tuesday.

“He readily admits that he was afraid of him and that he shot him,” Ogle said Tuesday, of the ongoing investigation. “We don’t know why, obviously. (Harlan) was an 80-year-old guy. He didn’t have any weapons with him.”

Gerard James has been arraigned and charged with first-degree murder. He faces up to life in prison.

Ogle said that Gerard James would make his way into the area twice a year: for the planting of crops in the spring and harvest in the fall.

His mother lives in the area, cared for by Alan James.

While harvesting Friday, Gerard James had a 9 mm pistol with him, Ogle said.

Alan James had a pistol and a shotgun in the combine.

The brothers also own some rural property together along the Kansas River, near Lecompton.

Gerard James has no criminal record in Douglas County. A records check indicates he’s received “a couple traffic tickets,” but nothing more, said Sgt. Steve Lewis, a spokesman for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

U.S.: Iranian plot amateurish The alleged Iranian plot against the Saudi ambassador to Washington was “amateur hour,” an unusually clumsy operation for Iran’s elite foreign action unit, the Quds Force, U.S. officials said Wednesday as further stranger-than-fiction details emerged of the assassination gone wrong.

The Iranians’ would-be covert operative turned to a woman he met while working as a used car dealer, hoping to find a Mexican drug dealer-assassin, and wound up with an American informant instead, according to two U.S. law enforcement officials.

Other U.S. officials said Manssor Arbabsiar made further mistakes, including arranging a pay-off for the attack in an easily traceable way.

They attributed the missteps to Iran’s relative inexperience carrying out covert operations in the United States and Mexico.

They said the U.S. believes the planned attack on the Saudi ambassador was conceived in part as proof that such an operation could be carried off.

Then, perhaps, Iran would have followed up with a series of attacks against other embassies in the U.S. and in Argentina, officials said.

Congress OKs free trade agreements Congress approved free trade agreements Wednesday with South Korea, Colombia and Panama, ending a four-year drought in the forming of new trade partnerships and giving the White House and Capitol Hill the opportunity to show they can work together to stimulate the economy and put people back to work.

In rapid succession, the House and Senate voted on the three trade pacts, which the administration says could boost exports by $13 billion and support tens of thousands of American jobs. None of the votes were close, despite opposition from labor groups and other critics of free trade agreements who say they result in job losses and ignore labor rights problems in the partner countries.

President Barack Obama said passage of the agreements was “a major win for American workers and businesses.”

Man pleads guilty to underwear bomb A Nigerian man pleaded guilty Wednesday to trying to bring down a jetliner with a bomb in his underwear, defiantly telling a federal judge that he acted in retaliation for the killing of Muslims worldwide and referring to the failed explosive as a “blessed weapon.”

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who acknowledged working for al-Qaida and never denied the allegations, entered the plea against his attorney’s advice on the second day of his trial. He stands to get a mandatory life sentence for the 2009 attack that aimed to kill nearly 300 people on Christmas Day in the skies above Detroit.

Abdulmutallab calmly answered the judge’s questions and read a political statement warning that if the United States continues “to persist and promote the blasphemy of Muhammad and the prophets,” it risks “a great calamity ... through the hands of the mujahedeen soon.”

“If you laugh at us now, we will laugh at you later on the day of judgment,” he said.

Family lost in corn maze calls 911 Authorities in Massachusetts say a family that got lost in a seven-acre corn maze called 911 for help, apparently taking advantage of the police department’s motto that says “We Want To Be Bothered.”

The maze at Connors Farm in Danvers has pathways totaling seven-miles long and can take up to an hour to navigate.

A police officer and his dog entered the maze with a farm manager on Columbus Day to search for the disoriented father, mother and two children, including a three-weeks-old infant. The family didn’t realize they had almost made their way out and were just 25 feet from the street.

It took the search party about 10 minutes to find the family. They were helped by a police dispatcher who stayed on the phone with the caller and asked the couple to yell for help to enable those looking for them to identify their location.

“Never again!” the woman is heard telling the dispatcher on police tapes. “We thought this would be fun, instead it’s a nightmare.”

Officials worried that overhaul of school finance will burden districts

By Scott Rothschild

2 | DETROIT

srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Education officials on Wednesday expressed concerns that Gov. Sam Brownback’s plan to overhaul the school finance system may put more of the financing burden on local districts.

During a meeting held by the Kansas Association of School Boards and United School Administrators of Kansas, Brownback’s policy director, Landon Fulmer, said the administration was looking at a plan to provide a base payment from the state to local school districts, a system of block grants for at-risk students and other needs of individual districts, and allowing local districts to increase taxes. There also may

be some changes to the distribution of statewide property tax collected for schools, he said.

Mark Tallman, with the KASB, said, “One of our Brownback concerns is the impact this would have on equalization, and there is a concern of shifting funding responsibility back to the local level.”

But Tallman added that some of the concepts that Fulmer addressed were interesting and he noted that Fulmer said the proposals were not set in stone.

Brownback is expected to make a recommendation for legislators to consider when the 2012

Tallman added, “We need to have a clear understanding of what we are trying to correct.

Why is this better?”

Schools have been hit with several rounds of state budget cuts since the recession. Earlier this year, Brownback signed a budget that cuts base state aid to schools by $232 per student.

Brownback has said he wants to reform the school finance formula because it has been tied up in litigation in recent years. But those legal challenges have sought to force the Legislature to increase funds for schools and distribute those funds more equitably.

TOPEKA

D.A. says he may file some domestic abuse cases

By John Milburn

“

hurt public safety and put people who were already scared at greater risk.

Taylor said in September that his decision to stop prosecuting misdemeanors committed inside Topeka was because of budget cuts. He contends that the county commission forced his hand by reducing the budget by 10 percent for 2012, when his office is swamped by felony cases.

City leaders argue that Topeka can’t afford to replicate county services for domestic abuse victims or rent jail space from the county for suspects.

Taylor also announced Wednesday that he was laying off 11 to 12 staff members, effective Dec. 23. That will bring his staff to 51 or 52 people and reflect a loss of $350,000 in county funds and $120,000 in expiring federal grants. The district attorney’s budget will be reduced to about $3.1 million.

The city already handles misdemeanor cases of simple

assault and battery, and incidents of assault or battery against its police officers.

Domestic assault or battery involves a person in the same household, and victims often need additional services or shelter.

Since early September, Topeka has had at least 35 reported incidents of domestic battery or assault, and those cases are not being pursued. As of Friday, 21 people jailed have been released without facing charges, according to Topeka police. Prosecutors and police have refused to discuss details of the cases out of concern for victims’ privacy, making it difficult to assess in what situations suspects aren’t being prosecuted.

A Topeka police spokeswoman said officers had continued to investigate cases of domestic violence and prepare reports that were being forwarded for prosecution, even after Taylor’s announcement last month.

Interim Topeka City Manager Dan Stanley issued a statement Wednesday saying that he was pleased with Taylor’s decision and that the city would keep advocating for his office to get more funding.

“All along we have wanted what is best for the victims and their families,” Stanley

said. “Victims will be spared having to go through multiple trials and will receive the many vital services the county has in place to support them.”

For years, the city and county agreed that the district attorney’s office would handle domestic violence prosecutions in the betterfunded state courts. City officials also note that the county has more services for victims and runs the jail. The use of a weapon in an assault or battery makes a crime a felony, and would be handled in state court.

The city and county decisions had raised concerns from advocates who see the potential void of prosecutions making situations worse for domestic violence victims, including children.

Joyce Grover, executive director of the Kansas Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, called the city council’s decision “an unprecedented step backward.”

“The message creates a clear and present danger to Topeka citizens. The standoff is unconscionable. It just has to go away,” Grover said.

“There are communities, in the face of the economic downturn, that are putting more resources into domestic violence issues.”

sort of public incentive for the project. Werner said it is his understanding that such incentives have become common for Lowe’s in other communities, but he does not think the incentive question was the key point in the decision to put the project on hold.

“Obviously, an incentive would help,” Werner said.

“But I don’t think that is a big factor in this. I think it is more just corporate wanting to get through the end of the year and reassess.”

Lowe’s proposal marked the second time in the last year the company had an attempt to build in Lawrence.

In late 2010, city commissioners rejected a plan by Lowe’s to build on a site

near Sixth Street and Folks Road. But city commissioners had indicated they felt more positive about this new proposal, which would have moved the store farther away from Free State High School.

The message creates a clear and present dan— A district attor- ger to Topeka citizens.”

Associated Press

TOPEKA ney in Kansas said Wednesday that his office will review all misdemeanor domestic violence cases forwarded to him by the Topeka police and determine on a case-by-case basis which ones merit pressing charges.

Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor, who had announced last month that he would no longer pursue such cases, said in a statement Wednesday that he now has “sole authority” over them after the city of Topeka voted to repeal a local domestic violence ordinance.

“We will do so with less staff, less resources, and severe constraints on our ability to effectively seek justice,” Taylor said. “But we will do so willingly to preserve the public safety of all the citizens of Shawnee County.”

That comes a day after the mayor and council of Kansas’ capital city repealed Topeka’s ordinance against domestic violence, a dramatic turn in their attempt to force the county to back away from its earlier decision. Advocates for victims of domestic violence had decried those moves as ones that would

Committee names top Jeff. Co. prosecutor The Jefferson County Republican Central Committee has selected an attorney who lives in Valley Falls to fill a vacancy as the county’s top prosecutor.

Committee members, meeting Tuesday night in Oskaloosa, elected Jason Belveal for the post, according to Travis Oliver, the party’s chairman.

Belveal, who has worked for a Topeka law firm, was the only nominee for the post, Oliver said. The post became open after Jefferson County Attorney Robert Fox announced he was taking a legal position with the Kansas Corporation Commission.

“I think (Belveal) will do a good job for Jefferson County,” Oliver said. “He has a lot of experience in criminal law already.”

Gov. Sam Brownback still needs to approve the selection. Belveal would serve the remainder of Fox’s term and would face election in November 2012.

Fox was a replacement for Caleb Stegall who was elected in 2008, and in 2010 became counsel for Brownback.

Judge orders prosecutors honor plan with man convicted in shooting death

I saw where the city auditor put out a report that compares Lawrence’s finances with 14 other similar cities. What cities did he compare Lawrence with?

By George Diepenbrock According to the city’s Financial Indicators Audit, the 14 cities were: Iowa City; Bellingham Wash.; Norman, Okla.; Missoula, Mont.; Charlottesville, Va.; Chico, Calif.; DeKalb, Ill.; St. Cloud, Minn.; Auburn, Ala.; Corvallis, Ore.; Davis, Calif.; Morgantown, W.Va.; State College, Pa.; Grand Forks, N.D.

A Douglas County judge Wednesday ruled prosecutors could not back out of an agreement to recommend a four-year reduction in the sentence of Major C. Edwards Jr., who was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in the 2006 shooting death of Lawrence hip-hop artist Anthony Vital.

At the conclusion of a two-hour hearing, Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild ruled Edwards did not intentionally breach an agreement with prosecutors to testify against his co-defendant, Durrell Jones, in exchange for a lesser sentence.

SOUND OFF A jury in March was unable If you have a question, call to reach a verdict in Jones’ first-degree murder trial.

The key issue in Wednesday’s hearing was a statement Edwards made at a July hearing in which he tried to withdraw his guilty plea in the case. Edwards had alleged that Amy McGowan, a chief assistant district attorney, had “coached him” on

But Fairchild agreed with defense attorney Branden Bell, who contended that Ed-

wards never admitted he lied but instead appeared confused about how to address his deal with prosecutors when he testified at the Jones trial.

“I don’t believe that he intentionally tried to make himself incredible at this point,” Fairchild said. “I think he was trying in his own way to say what he believed happened.”

Prosecutors had also attempted to attack Edwards’ credibility because they said a former jailmate, Joe Hunter, had alleged after the Jones trial that Edwards said he was the one who actually shot Vital. That contradicted his testimony that Jones pulled the trigger. Edwards has denied he told Hunter that.

Hunter, 46, who is serving a prison sentence in Winfield for several theft and forgery cases, declined to testify about any past conversations with Edwards when he took the stand Wednesday morning.

“I told you I’m not going to answer no questions, and I’m sticking with that, so don’t waste my time,” Hunter told James McCabria, an assistant Douglas County district attorney.

Fairchild found Hunter in contempt of court, but because Hunter declined to testify, Fairchild said he could not consider Hunter’s alleged statements to prosecutors in his decision Wednesday.

Bell, Edwards’ defense attorney, said after the hearing that Fairchild’s decision showed that Edwards did hold up his end of the plea deal.

“For whatever reason (prosecutors) couldn’t secure a conviction (against Jones), and at that point of frustra-

tion they tried to throw Major Edwards under the bus,” Bell said.

McCabria denied that in court Wednesday and said prosecutors had an ethical obligation to dismiss the case against Jones because they believed Edwards had substantial credibility issues.

Fairchild is scheduled to sentence Edwards on Nov. 7. Attorneys have said Edwards faces 18 years in prison based on his criminal history, or 14 years if Fairchild adopts terms of the plea agreement. But Bell said Wednesday he planned to argue Fairchild should not consider two of Edwards’ juvenile convictions as part of his criminal history. If he’s successful with that argument, Bell said, it’s possible Edwards could be released because of the amount of time he’s already spent in custody while the Vital case was pending.

Jones, who is serving time for a federal drug sentence, is scheduled to be released next year.

Ex-state prosecutor Plans revealed for guilty of theft Flint Hills center MARYSVILLE — A former northeastern Kansas county prosecutor has pleaded no contest to stealing more than $70,000 from a church.

Brian Carroll entered the plea Tuesday in Marshall COURTS County District Court. The judge pronounced Carroll guilty and set scheduling for Nov. 22.

Carroll was charged in June with felony theft. He was accused of misappropriating funds from Marysville Berean Church between August 2006 and 2010 while serving as the church treasurer.

Carroll resigned as Marshall County attorney in August to take a job as a trust officer with a bank in Pratt. He had served as prosecutor for several years.

The theft case was prosecuted by the Kansas attorney general’s office.

JUNCTION CITY — Three years of work have yielded plans for a welcome center along Interstate 70 designed to draw more people to Kansas’ picturesque Flint Hills area.

Kansas Transportation Secretary announced the proposal Wednesday at a meeting in Junction City with representatives from Geary, Morris, Pottawatomie, Wabaunsee and Riley counties.

KSAL-AM reports the Flint Hills Regional Welcome Center is to be located at Exit 313, the intersection with Kansas 177.

The state route leads south into the heart of the Flint Hills, including Strong City, gateway to the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve.

The welcome center is to have a gas station, convenience store, meeting space and other amenities. Plans also include a 90-foot observation tower.

Officials chose Exit 313 among a half-dozen possible locations between Junction City and Wamego.

Romney inevitable? Perry weighs TV ads to slow him

By Charles Babington and Kasie Hunt Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney seems firmly in command in a Republican presidential field that hasn’t figured out how to stop him.

Twelve weeks before the first party voting, the GOP establishment is coalescing around the former Massachusetts governor. He has more campaign experience, money and organization than anyone else. He showed again this week that he’s the best debater in the bunch. And President Barack Obama’s campaign is treating him almost as the presumptive nominee — even though Romney still faces challenges in some early voting states.

The biggest question in Republican circles is when and how Texas Gov. Rick Perry will use his own substantial campaign funds to buy TV ads hitting Romney’s record on health care, abortion, gay rights and job creation.

Perry’s campaign, which seems best positioned to challenge Romney, dropped broad hints Wednesday that the moment is near.

“Now that the field is full, the air war will start soon,” said Katon Dawson, former chairman of the South Carolina GOP and Perry’s top adviser in the state. “We seem to be inside a 100-day window,” Dawson said. “Governor Perry will be extremely competitive on the air.”

The tone is different up the coast in New Hampshire.

Among rank-and-file Republicans there, even those who favor other candidates have a sense that Romney has gained an air of inevitability.

“It’s very frustrating,” said state Rep. Jim Waddell, of Hampton, who backs former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, right, turns to shake New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s hand after he endorsed Romney for president in Lebanon, N.H. Romney now seems firmly in command of the 2012 race for the Republican presidential nomination, three months before the voting begins.

Some go even further about Perry’s recent drop. “In New Hampshire, he certainly is done,” said GOP state Rep. Keith Murphy, who is uncommitted in the race.

Perry’s advisers say there’s plenty of time to overtake Romney in key states. They are frustrated by bad reviews of the Texan’s debate performances, including Tuesday’s in New Hampshire. They say it’s Romney who is ripe for sharp criticism of his revised positions on abortion, gay rights and gun control, all now markedly more conservative than in the 1990s and early 2000s.

In the debates so far, Perry has generally fallen flat when hitting Romney’s “flip-flops” and the health care initiative that required Massachusetts residents to obtain medical insurance. Perry’s advisers say aggressive TV ads will do a far more powerful job.

Although Republican and Democratic insiders see

Romney as the front-runner, several signs give Perry and the other rivals hope. Most Republican polls show Romney falling well short of a majority of support, as restless voters consider one alternative after another.

Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota surged in mid-summer, then fell as Perry briefly soared. In recent polls, former pizza company executive Herman Cain has ranked as Romney’s top rival, although few campaign strategists believe he will be the nominee.

An NBC-Marist College poll in Iowa found that tea party supporters prefer Cain.

In national polls, combined support for Cain, Perry and Bachmann exceeds Romney’s support.

A Wall Street Journal/ NBC News poll of Republican primary voters released Wednesday found Romney and Cain in a dead heat, while Perry dropped to 16 percent.

Hispanics skip work to protest immigration law

By Jay Reeves Associated Press

ALBERTVILLE, ALA. — Along Main Street in this small Alabama town, the Mexican restaurant was closed, lights were out at a Hispanic-owned grocery store and even a bank catering to Spanish speakers was dark. Nearby, the usual hum of a chicken processing plant was silent.

Businesses dependent on immigrant labor were shuttered Wednesday as workers took the day off to protest the state’s strict new immigration law.

The work stoppage appeared largest in northeast Alabama, the hub of the state’s $2.7 billion poultry industry, but metropolitan areas were also affected. At least a half-dozen chicken processing plants closed or scaled back operations because employees, many of whom are Hispanic, didn’t show up for work or told managers in advance they wanted to join the sick-out to show disapproval of the law upheld by a federal judge two weeks ago.

“We want the mayor, the governor, this judge to know we are part of the economy of Alabama,” said Mexican immigrant Mireya Bonilla, who manages the supermarket La Orquidea, or “The Orchid,” in Albertville.

The town of about 19,000 people has one of the highest concentrations of Hispanics in the state. Out of 4.7 million people in Alabama, there are an estimated 185,000 Hispanics, most of them of Mexican origin.

It wasn’t clear exactly how many workers participated in the protest, but the parking lot was virtually empty at a Wayne Farms poultry plant, which employs about 850 people in Albertville. All along Main Street, Hispanic businesses were closed.

Jose Contreras shut down

his restaurant and store, a move he said cost him about $2,500.

“We closed because we need to open the eyes of the people who are operating this state,” said Contreras, originally from the Dominican Republican and a U.S. citizen. “It’s an example of if the law pushes too much what will happen.”

Since the law was upheld, many frightened Hispanics have hid in their homes or fled. Some construction workers, roofers and field hands have stopped showing up and schools have reported high absentee rates among Hispanic students. Officials said even more students were absent Wednesday, apparently because of the protest.

The Obama administration has asked the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to at least temporarily block enforcement of the law, arguing in court documents Wednesday that the statute oversteps the state’s authority and could lead to the discrimination of legal residents. The appeals court has not indicated when it may rule on the administration’s request for a preliminary injunction.

The law allows police to detain people indefinitely if they are suspected of being in the country illegally and requires schools to check the status of new students when they enroll.

8 killed in shooting at California salon SEAL BEACH, CALIF. — A gunman opened fire Wednesday in a busy hair salon, killing eight people and critically wounding another while leaving bodies scattered throughout the business in a normally sedate Southern California beach community.

The gunman got into a truck and drove away from Salon Meritage after opening fire. A suspect was stopped by officers about a half-mile away and surrendered without incident while saying he had multiple weapons with him, police Sgt. Steve Bowles said.

His name and those of the victims were not immediately released.

Friends of the salon owner said the gunman was the ex-husband of a stylist who worked there. Bowles would only say, “There may be something to the motive as to a relationship with somebody in the salon, that is our assumption.”

He declined to elaborate later.

Kimberly Criswell, who owns a salon just two doors down from the scene of the shootings, said she and her customers and employees heard gunshots, and her receptionist saw a man through a window as he was shot in a parking lot.

“There was like a pop, pop and my receptionist screamed, ‘he just shot that man’ and we all ran into the bathroom and locked the door,’” Criswell said.

Missing, broken, or discolored teeth?

Why wait…

Chapter 8 Camp Concordia

Last Chapter:! Jack and Mollie have a fun adventure when they arrive in Chanute and meet Osa Johnson and Snowball, a baby gorilla from Africa.! Osa Johnson and her husband, Martin, have traveled extensively in Africa and the Solomon Islands and her tales of their adventures keep the twins enthralled.

A red-winged blackbird clung to a stalk of the green corn bordering both sides of the dusty road.!! Cheerily it sang its song, sounding to the twins like “kong-ka-ree, kong-ka-ree.”! It flew away as the twins approached.!!

“Do you want to guess where we are now?”! Jack asked, grinning at his sister.

“Well, not home, that’s for sure.” Since they had talked about adding e-mail to the computer on the time machine, Mollie had been mentally e-mailing their parents.!

Now in her head, she imagined this message: Dear Mom and Dad, We are on a dusty, country road. We have no idea where, but we don’t worry so much now for we know the time machine will take care of us.! At least we hope so.

Oh, oh, there’s an old truck pulling up beside us. Love, Mollie The man in the driver’s seat leaned over and called through the open window on the passenger’s side.! “Need a lift?”

“That’d be great,” Jack said.!

“When the twins were settled inside the cab, Mollie in the middle, the man introduced himself as Dave Strait, and working the gearshift, sent the truck on down the road.! “You youngsters going out to see the POW camp?”

Jack was sure he’d never heard of a POW camp, but the right words came out of his mouth.! “You mean the prisoner of war camp?”

“One and the same.”

“We heard there are German prisoners there,” Mollie said, although she’d heard no such thing.

“You heard right,” Mr. Strait said.

“Are they mean?” Mollie asked.!

“None that I’ve met and I’ve been working there since the first batch came over here from Germany.! As a whole,

they’re good fellas.! Oh, a rotten one turns up now and again, but his comrades pretty well set him straight.”

“Why do they do that?” Jack said.

“What difference does it make?”

“Oh, it makes a lot of difference, son.

They want to be trusted so they can go out and work.! No farmer’s going to want to have a troublemaker helping him.”

“They help the farmers here?” Jack said.

“Aren’t they afraid those men will kill them?! They are the enemy, aren’t they?”

“Well, yes and no.! That enemy business gets toned down once they get over here.!

We treat them fair and feed them decent.! I sure wish I could say the same for our boys being held in POW camps overseas.”

A grim look settled over his face and they rode in silence a few minutes, before

Mr. Strait looked over at the twins and grinned.!! “Besides, where would they run to?! The middle of Kansas to Germany is some distance. Just getting from here to the coast would be a major feat on foot and then they have an ocean to swim.”

Jack grinned. “Do you have any of them helping you?”!

“Well, I don’t do much farming, but sometimes we have a fella name of Walter who comes out and gives us a hand around the place, doing odd jobs and we usually

have him over for Sunday dinner.”

“Sunday dinner!”! Mollie had almost fallen asleep and hearing those words she blinked her eyes and sat up straight. “Why would you have a German for dinner, a man who has just been fighting and killing American soldiers overseas?”

Before answering Mollie, Mr. Strait shifted his truck to a lower gear and slowed for a quail hen crossing the road, her brood of babies scurrying along after her.

“They’re just young men, like our boys overseas.! Soldiers go to war because their country calls them to. None of them is likely too keen on killing, and awful relieved when they don’t have to anymore.”

“So can they just walk away whenever someone wants them to do some work, or,” Jack grinned at Mr. Strait, “they’re invited to Sunday dinner?”

Mr. Strait chuckled.! “No. Only a guard comes along with them and we feed him too.”

A few minutes later, the camp came into view and the twins got their first look at the camp and its prisoners.! They were both shocked to see how big it was.! A high wire fence surrounded the entire compound of row after row of buildings all painted alike.!

“That’s a lot of buildings,” Jack said.!

“How many prisoners do you have here?”

“About 5,000 and of course we have the guards who are American soldiers stationed here.” Mr. Strait shook his head. “This is good duty. No one shooting at you or you having to shoot some poor fella caught up in the war same as you.”

Mr. Strait pointed out the camp’s water tower, the hospital, and the fire department.!

“Those,” he said, pointing toward rows of long, low buildings, “are the barracks where the men sleep.”

Mr. Strait parked his truck in the parking area and as they got out he said, “Come meet Walter, the fella we have over for Sunday dinner. He’s there by the fence with that little dog.”

Although they knew Walter was behind the fence and couldn’t get out, and a soldier stood in the guard tower holding a weapon, and Walter looked just like any other man, his eyes and his smile friendly, the twins stepped back as he approached.

After the introductions that included Walter’s little dog, a stray he’d named Mary Sunshine, Mr. Strait told them he had to go to work, but one of his friends getting off work now would take them back to Concordia.

The man they rode with seemed friendly, but he wasn’t much for talking and after several attempts, Jack gave up and they rode the rest of the way in silence.! The man pulled over just inside the town of Concordia and as he let them out, two black cases, that looked like they would hold glasses, fell out and the twins, instinctively knowing they were theirs, grabbed them up.

With their glasses on, the town changed from how it must have looked in the mid 1940s during World War II, to modern times.! And as always, to their right set the time machine.! They hurried inside, eager to read what would be on the computer screen.! After the twins read the facts about the war and the prisoner of war camp in Concordia, they read a small newspaper story and grinned at each other in delight.

For the news article mentioned that Dave Strait, who worked at the camp, had adopted a little dog named Mary Sunshine, when her master, a prisoner, was sent back to Germany.

To Be Continued.

Occupy Wall Street vs. the tea party

EDITORIALS

Pointless politics Now that Topeka and Shawnee County officials have made their points, the district attorney can quit grandstanding and get back to work.

W

hile Topeka and Shawnee County officials were busy making a point, potential domestic violence victims in Topeka were living in fear.

Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor made his point last month when he announced that because of budget cuts, his office no longer would prosecute misdemeanors, including domestic battery, that occur within the Topeka city limits. Those cases, he said, would have to be handled in Topeka’s municipal court. Taylor’s point was primarily directed at the Shawnee County Commission, which cut his office’s budget by about 10 percent this year. In an open letter released Tuesday, Taylor said he had warned commissioners that something like this would happen if the large budget cuts were implemented.

Tuesday night, members of the Topeka City Council voted to make their own point by repealing the city’s ordinance against domestic battery. Their point, which was directed at Taylor and perhaps county commissioners, is that it is the responsibility of the county, not the city, to enforce this law.

They said that eliminating the city ordinance would boost their leverage to negotiate this matter with the D.A.’s office.

Once the city’s ordinance was eliminated, no negotiation was necessary. Taylor conceded on Wednesday that he has a statutory responsibility to handle the cases.

Since early September, Topeka has had at least 35 reported incidents of domestic battery or assault. Eighteen people who had been arrested in those cases were released from jail because the D.A. decided not to press charges against them. On Wednesday, Taylor said his office would review all misdemeanor domestic violence cases forwarded to it and decide on a case-by-case basis which ones to prosecute, so it remains to be seen how many of those 35 cases lead to prosecutions.

Allowing the domestic safety of Topeka residents to be used as a political football has drawn some well-deserved negative publicity for Topeka and Shawnee County. The City Council’s decision to repeal its domestic battery ordinance sent a horrible message to the people of Topeka, but Taylor bears primary responsibility for the manner in which he thrust this issue on the city. Taylor is right that some other Kansas cities take responsibility for prosecuting domestic battery cases.

However, it seems likely that the arrangements in those locations have been carefully negotiated for the benefit of both the cities and counties involved. They weren’t instituted by the kind of unilateral action that Taylor sought to hand down.

The Shawnee County D.A.’s grandstanding certainly succeeded in drawing attention to himself and his office, but whether it results in additional funding remains to be seen. Either way, it’s a pretty safe bet that Topeka residents will be keeping a watchful eye on how aggressively the D.A. is pursuing prosecution of domestic violence cases in the county.

WASHINGTON — The tea party’s splendid successes, which have altered the nation’s political vocabulary and agenda, have inspired a countermovement — Occupy Wall Street. Conservatives should rejoice and wish for it long life, abundant publicity and sufficient organization to endorse congressional candidates deemed worthy. All Democrats eager for OWS’ imprimatur, step forward.

In scale, OWS’ demonstrations-cum-encampments are to tea party events as Pittsburg, Kan., is to Pittsburgh, Pa. So

As Mark Twain said, difference of opinion is what makes a horse race.

It is also what makes elections necessary and entertaining.” far, probably fewer people have participated in all of them combined than attended just one tea party rally, that of Sept. 12, 2009, on the Washington Mall. In comportment, OWS is to the tea party as Lady Gaga is to Lord Chesterfield: Blocking the Brooklyn Bridge was not persuasion modeled on tea party tactics.

Still, OWS’ defenders correctly say it represents progressivism’s spirit and intellect. Because it embraces spontaneity and deplores elitism, it eschews deliberation and leadership.

Hence its agenda, beyond eliminating one of the seven deadly sins (avarice), is opaque. Its meta-theory is, however, clear: Washington is grotesquely corrupt and insufficiently powerful.

Unfortunately for OWS, big government’s scandal du jour, the Obama administration’s Solyndra episode of crony capitalism, does not validate progressivism’s indignation, it refutes progressivism’s aspiration, which is for more minute

government supervision of society. Solyndra got to the government trough with the help of a former bundler of Obama campaign contributions who was an Energy Department bureaucrat helping to dispense taxpayers’ money to politically favored companies. His wife’s law firm represented Solyndra. But, then, government of the sort progressives demand — supposed “experts,” wiser than the market, allocating wealth and opportunity by supposedly disinterested decisions — is not just susceptible to corruption, it is corruption.

It is political favoritism with a clean (even green) conscience.

Demands posted in OWS’ name include a “guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment”; a $20-an-hour minimum wage (above the $16 entry wage the United Auto Workers just negotiated with GM); ending “the fossil fuel economy”; “open borders” so “anyone can travel anywhere to work and live”; $1 trillion for infrastructure; $1 trillion for “ecological restoration” (e.g., re-establishing “the natural flow of river systems”); “free college education.”

And forgiveness of “all debt on the entire planet period.”

Progressivism’s battle cry is: “Mulligan!” It demands the ultimate entitlement — emancipation from the ruinous results of

all prior claims of entitlement.

Imitation is the sincerest form of progressivism because nostalgia motivates progressives, not conservatives. Tea Party Envy is leavened by Woodstock Envy — note the drum circles at the Manhattan site — which is a facet of Sixties Envy. Hence conservatives should be rejoicing.

From 1965 through 1968, the left found its voice and style in consciousness-raising demonstrations and disruptions. In November 1968, the nation, its consciousness raised, elected Richard Nixon president and gave 56.9 percent of the popular vote to Nixon or George Wallace. Republicans won four of the next five presidential elections.

Perhaps things will go better for progressives this time.

Barack Obama feels their pain — understands their “frustration.” America’s median income has declined even faster since the recovery began three Junes ago than it did during the recession, students are graduating into a jobless “recovery,” African-Americans and Hispanics have unemployment rates of 16 and 11.3 percent, respectively, but Obama is on the case: He wants corporate jets to be taxed more. OWS must still, however, raise the consciousnesses of backsliding congressional Democrats who have decided that, unlike the president, they do not

GOP still looking for love So last week, Chris Christie said no.

This should not have been a surprise. The New Jersey governor has said “no” repeatedly when urged by Republican movers, shakers and donors to consider running for president. Last week’s last and final “no” theoretically puts the question to bed for good.

But it also raises other questions. The fact that it is still cajoling potential candidates at this late date suggests a restiveness in the Grand Old Party. The Republicans are looking for someone to love.

Sure, they’ve got Mitt Romney who is solid and smooth, but does not excite. He is John Kerry in elephant drag. They’ve got Michele Bachmann, but she is handicapped by the fact that she’s Michele Bachmann.

They’ve got Rick Perry, but it turns out he can’t get out of his own way.

Christie was the latest hope. Now that’s gone, too.

There is, by the way, nothing uniquely Republican about looking for love. Democrats and independents swooned for Barack Obama in 2008. The ardor has cooled considerably since then, owing to the fact that Obama has turned out to be President Gumby. The caution and pragmatism that once seemed a welcome respite from the unilateral recklessness of his predecessor now comes across as the malleability of one who has rubber in his spine.

At some level, you had to know that that — or some other disappointment — was coming. Falling in love is always easier than staying in love, especially in politics. Yet every four years, like a middle-age divorcee in a singles bar, there we go again, looking for romance.

In his new movie, “The Ides of March,” George Clooney casts a pessimistic eye upon this courtship. Directing himself from a screenplay he co-wrote, Clooney plays Mike Morris, a Democratic governor seeking his party’s presidential nomination. In his raw charisma and refusal to pander, Morris seems the stuff of dreams for voters fed up with the chicanery of — all together now — politics as usual.

But when Morris proves to be less than advertised, one feels not so much the shock of revelation as the sigh of recognition. The manufacture and sale of presidential candidates has conditioned us to expect to heave

that sigh, eventually.

Indeed, the interesting thing about the courtship of Chris Christie is that, for all those who were urging him to run, the argument seemed to be based little, if at all, on the notion that he had ideas or held positions that would benefit the country. To the contrary, not much was known about Christie’s positions on many national issues and the little that was, suggested a candidate too moderate for the conservative bloc that now animates the GOP. It is telling that that seemed not to bother anyone. Christie is likable and plain spoken.

He comes across as a guy unseduced by political pomp and folderol. That was enough to start people salivating. His actual ideas, opinions, readiness, ability to lead or even interest in the job, all seemed secondary or even immaterial.

It speaks well of his integrity that Christie said no. It says volumes about our system that he was so vehemently importuned by the GOP establishment to say yes. But that’s the nature of the beast, isn’t it?

They felt they could sell him. They felt they could make us love him. That was all they needed to know.

believe that “the rich” begin at household incomes of $250,000.

Tahrir Square Envy also motivates America’s Progressive Autumn, the left’s emulation of the Arab Spring. Of course, some lagoons of advanced thinking, such as Montgomery County, Md. — it is a government workers’ dormitory contiguous to Washington — were progressive before OWS’ drum(circle) beat became progressivism’s pulse. The Montgomery County town of Takoma Park is a “nuclear-free zone,” meaning it has no truck with nuclear weapons.

Responding to peace activists, some Montgomery County Council members sponsored a resolution to instruct Congress to slash defense spending. The idea died when Virginia began inviting the county’s secondlargest private-sector employer, Lockheed Martin, to move across the Potomac. To OWS, this proves the power of the plutocracy. To the tea party, it proves the virtue of federalism.

As Mark Twain said, difference of opinion is what makes a horse race. It is also what makes elections necessary and entertaining. So: OWS versus the tea party. Republicans generally support the latter. Do Democrats generally support the former? Let’s find out. Let’s vote.

PUBLIC FORUM

Tax and spend To the editor: Your taxes, mill levy or fees go up because someone wants something they can’t afford.

Those who depend on tax increases have questionable spending habits. The JournalWorld reported the school board spend $300,000 on bleachers and restrooms. Building repair and school equipment should come first. Westar wants a rate increase in part to cover retirement fund losses in the stock market. Don’t a lot of hard-working people have losses due to the downturn in the markets?

There are some people wanting to raise taxes on the rich. This is stupid. The rich employ people and have the ability to spend freely. They will not change their lifestyle.

They will cut benefits, employee hours or simply lay people off, adding to unemployment.

Some people want to raise corporate taxes. Big companies do not pay taxes; they collect them. If corporate taxes are raised, the price of whatever product is raised to cover increased taxes. You, as the consumer, will pay for that tax increase.

Our own city government wants the city to pay taxes to the city. Sounds confusing, doesn’t it? The city spent too much, and now the “per capita ratio” is out of balance.

Lawrence is a progressive city. Let’s start a new program of fiscal responsibility. Don’t buy it or build it unless the money is in the bank to pay for it.

The government — city, county, state and federal — needs to lower taxes and put the money in the hands of the people who will spend it. Buying products made in the United States will put people back to work.

Guitar Masters Topeka guitarist Andy McKee headlines tonight’s Guitar Masters showcase at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H. McKee is a practioner of fingerstyle guitar playing, which uses fine, distinct tuning and a unique play style that puts the guitarist in charge of the melody, harmony and, in some cases, percussion. To hear a master of the style doesn’t really do the art form justice, as a song crafted by an expert sounds so seamless, you’d think more than one musician was responsible for it. It’s a good thing, then, that McKee posted some of his work on YouTube for your viewing pleasure. He is joined by openers Stephen Bennett and Antione Dufour, two experts in their own right. The show starts at 7 p.m., and tickets are $26.50. poser” Competition, QABC 9.%., S;#*.:)0. R(<+.#, H#,,, M0*9:6 H#,,, ELBC N#+3%+.: D*+5(.

Consultant: Benefactor asked for help in missing baby search KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — A New York-based security consultant who said he was hired by a wealthy benefactor to help search for a missing baby in Kansas City got little response Wednesday from police who have been looking for the child for more than a week.

Police said Bill Stanton, who declined to say who hired him, won’t have access to any case files related to their search for Lisa Irwin because he isn’t law enforcement. He also doesn’t appear to be licensed as a private investigator in Missouri as required when acting in that capacity.

“He will have access to anything the general public has access to,” Kansas City police spokesman Capt. Steve Young said.

When asked if he has handled a missing child case, Stanton said he couldn’t detail cases involving children, then responded “Google me” when asked to discuss any of his past cases. He said he has worked as a consultant for “major media organizations,” and the website for a consulting firm that lists him as a founding partner said he was a New York police officer before moving into private investigative work.

Lisa’s parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, reported their daughter missing early Oct. 4, saying she disappeared from her crib at their single-story home sometime overnight as her mother slept in a nearby room.

Hundreds of local, state and federal investigators have been looking for the child ever since, scouring through hundreds of tips and repeatedly searching the family’s neighborhood, nearby woods, sewers and a landfill. But police said they have no suspects or solid leads.

Stanton said a wealthy “benefactor” connected to a family member asked him to get involved and acknowledged the family didn’t hire him. Stanton said he would fly in other people today, but wouldn’t elaborate.

He said he would be managing any media inquiries directed at the family, which family members confirmed. They said he had their support.

On Wednesday, detectives using all-terrain vehicles and tracking dogs searched a heavily wooded area a few blocks from the home, but it turned up nothing.

KU FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Athletes need support Saturday’s game between Oklahoma and Kansas involves a suspense factor. It’s located in the stands. KU students who hold season tickets can bring another student free of charge for the 8:15 p.m. kickoff televised on ESPN2.

How many students will take advantage? If the answer is not many, the empty seats will add to the negative vibe of this football season. If it’s plenty, one day after Late Night, count that as a loud statement the students want their school to be known as more than a basketball powerhouse.

Senior tight end Tim Biere, the team’s most experienced player and its best, has started for four years.

“You never really know what the students are going to do around here, but, I mean, hopefully, they’ll show up and be loud,” Biere said. “When they’re into the game, it does make a difference. So hopefully, they show up and yell really loud on Saturday.”

Sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon, an Academic All-Big 12 selection a year ago, also didn’t know what to expect.

“It’s prime time on ESPN. I expect people to come out and support us,” he said. “But I really haven’t played an 8 o’clock game, so I don’t know if that’s better than an 11 o’clock game or a 2 o’clock game.”

From the outside, it seems a shame that KU’s rare chance at this sort of national exposure comes in a game that on paper looks so lopsided.

“We don’t go into it looking at it like that at all,” Biere said.

“We look at it as an opportunity to play the best team in the nation and compete with them.

We’re going into it trying to win. We expect to win. Playing a game like that on ESPN will be great. There are a lot of young guys who haven’t gotten to be on ESPN yet. It’ll be a fun atmosphere Saturday night.”

Said Patmon: “I’m glad it’s this one. It’s a challenge. It’s one of the top three teams in the nation coming to play us at our home.”

It takes a freshman student body to change a fan culture at a university. If a freshman class is wooed into making attending each football game as automatic as ambling ever-so-slowly on campus crosswalks to keep cars waiting for an extra long time, it then passes that culture down to the next freshman class, which in turn does the same to the next one.

Kansas plays more freshmen than most schools, so this would seem a decent year for the freshman student body to begin to establish a serious football culture.

Running backs Tony Pierson, Darrian Miller and Brandon Bourbon are in the first of four years of eligibility, as is receiver JaCorey Shepherd. Defensive end Javonte Daniel needs to pack on some pounds, but has the makings of a speed rusher.

Outside linebacker Michael Reynolds has speed built for blitzing and for dropping into pass coverage. Speedy safety Victor Simmons will get more time Saturday.

“We have a great freshman class,” Reynolds said. “Hopefully, the students will come out to the game. We’ll need their fan support. I just hope they can stay with us through the year.”

If freshmen students turn out in big numbers Saturday, nobody ever can accuse them of front-running.

GETTING PLAYING TIME ON A DIV. I FOOTBALL TEAM is just another of life’s challenges for Kansas University linebacker Isaac Wright.

LB Wright faced adversity from start

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

If you met him today, you might not notice anything remarkable about Kansas University linebacker Isaac Wright.

Putting aside his stylish dreadlocks, which he began growing a few years back because he thought they looked cool sticking out of his helmet, Wright seems like any other KU football player and any other college student.

He’s not.

The fact he’s in college or even can play football is the remarkable part, considering when he was born, three months before reaching full term, Wright weighed 1 pound, 14 ounces and seemed destined for a life of struggle, if he’d have any life at all.

“My mother would refer to him as a prune with legs,” Wright’s mother, Alicia Hooks said. “His entire body fit in the palm of my hand.”

Twelve weeks before he was Wright, recalling the tales he’s due, on March 22, 1990, Wright heard a thousand times. “I just worked his way into the world had eyes and limbs. But ... I made and started fighting. it.”

“The goal was to keep him in Doctors would not let Wright’s for at least 24 weeks,” Hooks said. parents take him home until he “If we couldn’t, they was in the 3- to The doctor basiwouldn’t be able to 5-pound range.

Hoops hoopla upon us ————

Media day, Late Night kick off season for depleted Jayhawks

some serious, some silly — during today’s two-hour media day festivities in Allen Fieldhouse.

The least hard-hitting, but most telling query is the obvious: “How’s the team going to fare in 2011-12?”

“We’re going to be great!” ninth-year KU coach Self said with a smile.

“I tell you, we lost a lot,” he added in a more serious tone.

“Everybody talks about losing the (Morris) twins and Josh (Selby), who obviously I thought could have been a real impact player this year.

As well as a guy named Tyrel Reed, who is playing professionally in Belgium; Morningstar is in Crete. The twins and Selby are off to the NBA once the lockout ends.

“Tyrel probably made as many big-time shots as anybody we’ve had. We not only lose our best players, but our foundation as well,” Self noted.

The Jayhawks also lost Mario Little to graduation and Royce Woolridge to Washington State University, returning just 29

percent of the scoring and 30.7 percent of the rebounding off last year’s 35-3 Big 12 championship/Elite Eight team.

“That said, I really like our guys,” Self said. “I think we have four or five guys that we can line up and play with just about anybody. Maybe not anybody yet, but maybe eventually get there.”

He most assuredly was referring to returnees Tyshawn Taylor, Thomas Robinson, Travis Releford, Elijah Johnson and Jeff Withey.

‘Just a normal kid’ By the time Wright was a few months old, he gained weight like a normal infant and ate like an adolescent. He used to have asthma.

It’s gone now. His legs were supposed to grow at different rates, making simple tasks such as walking, running or riding a bike nearly impossible. They didn’t. They did grow, though. Today, Wright, a junior from Kansas City, Kan., stands 6-foot-3, 240 pounds. By the time he was in elementary school, Wright’s size was no longer an issue.

“He was odd-looking, but he was actually just a normal kid after he came out of the hospital,” Dwayne Wright said.

By age 5, Wright’s parents were separated, and he lived part-time with each.

Mammoth challenge awaits FSHS

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

In all his years of coaching, Free State High’s Bob Lisher has never had to prepare for a challenge like this.

Olathe Northwest receiver Willie Cauley is not only fast and athletic with great hands.

He’s also 6-foot-10.

“The only way we can defend it and be sure is if we put somebody on top of somebody’s shoulders. Maybe we could match up,” Lisher said with a grin, but only half-joking. “That’s about it. I mean, there’s no other way to do it.”

When Free State travels to face ONW for its first district game at 7 tonight at College Boulevard Activity Center, it will be the second week in a row the Firebirds have gone against a Div. I talent at wide receiver.

Last week, Free State limited Shawnee Mission East’s Elliot Faerber —an Illinois commit Please see FSHS, page 3B

Feds will mediate NBA labor talks WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NBA and its locked-out players are going to use the same federal mediator who tried to resolve the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor dispute months before it eventually ended.

George Cohen, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, announced Wednesday that he will oversee negotiations between the NBA and the NBA Players Association. Those meetings will start next Tuesday in New York.

Cohen said he already has been in contact with representatives of both sides â&#x20AC;&#x153;for a number of months.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have participated in separate, informal, off-the-record discussions with the principals repre-

senting the NBA and the NBPA concerning the status of their collective bargaining negotiations,â&#x20AC;?

Cohen said in a statement issued by the Washington-based FMCS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is evident that the ongoing dispute will result in a serious impact, not only upon the parties directly involved, but also, of major concern, on interstate commerce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; i.e., the employers and working men and women who provide services related to the basketball games, and, more generally, on the economy of every city in which those games are scheduled to be played.â&#x20AC;?

Cohen was present for talks between NFL owners and players for 16 days in February and March but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring them to agree-

Details arise in Red Sox Sept. collapse BOSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As the Boston Red Sox disintegrated in what would become the worst September collapse in baseball history, some at Fenway Park grew concerned that the pain medication Terry Francona was taking after a half-dozen procedures on his knee was affecting his ability to manage, according to a report in the Boston Globe.

In a 2,500-word, front-page article headlined, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside the Collapse,â&#x20AC;? the newspaper spread the blame on all sides: apathetic players eating fried chicken in the clubhouse during games; a general manager who squandered a $161 million budget on underperformers; ownership that thought players could be bought off with $300 headphones and a party on John Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 164-foot yacht, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iroquois.â&#x20AC;?

But the most salacious revelations involved Francona, who left the team after the season when his contract options were not picked up. Since then, reports have surfaced about the dysfunction in a Red Sox clubhouse that produced a 7-20 record in SeptemFrancona ber to turn what had been a once comfortable lead in the playoff race into an early offseason.

According to the Globe, team sources â&#x20AC;&#x153;expressed concern that Franconaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance may have been affected by the use of pain medication.â&#x20AC;? The sources were not identified, the article said, saying those interviewed feared for their jobs or their relationships inside the organization.

The article also said Francona was worried about his son and son-in-law, who are Marine officers serving in Iraq. At the same time, Francona was living in a hotel, separated from his wife of more than 30 years.

Responding to the allegations that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;distracted,â&#x20AC;? Francona noted that he was dealing with the same problems during the four-month period when the team was going 80-41.

If Francona was distracted, he was not alone.

Sensing â&#x20AC;&#x153;lingering resentmentâ&#x20AC;? from a hastily scheduled day-night doubleheader, the article said, ownership threw a playersonly party on Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yacht and gave each player a pair of expensive headphones.

Pitchers Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, John Lackey and Wakefield also appeared â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in their uniforms, in front of the Green Monster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in a music video for a country song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hell yeah, I like beer.â&#x20AC;? Henry did not know about the appearance, he has said, and it is more troublesome when coupled with reports that Beckett, Lackey, Jon Lester and others would eat fried chicken, drink beer and play video games in the clubhouse during games, instead of being in the dugout with their teammates.

ment. When that mediation broke off March 11, the union disbanded, players sued owners in federal court, and the league locked out players.

After negotiations resumed later â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including with a different, court-appointed mediator â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a new NFL collective bargaining agreement was completed and signed in August.

The NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s labor talks stalled Monday, and the league announced it was calling off the first two weeks of its regular season, which was supposed to begin on Nov. 1.

The preseason was wiped out earlier.

Cohen was appointed director of the FMCS, an independent U.S.

As a labor lawyer, Cohen played a key role in ending the most notorious professional sports work stoppage in U.S. history, the baseball strike that wiped out the 1994 World Series.

NCAA closes Newton-Auburn investigation MONTGOMERY, ALA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NCAA says it found no major violations committed by Auburn regarding Cam Newton or other payfor-play allegations.

The NCAA released a statement Wednesday saying it has closed its 13-month investigation into Auburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recruitment of the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, whose father shopped his services to another school for nearly $200,000.

The NCAA also cleared Auburn in allegations by four former players that Newton they received payments during their recruitment or careers.

The NCAA says â&#x20AC;&#x153;any allegations of major rules violations must meet a burden of proof, which is a higher standard than rampant public speculation online and in the media.â&#x20AC;?

It also says the investigation could be reopened if evidence surfaces.

Neb. loses DT Crick for year LINCOLN, NEB. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; No. 14 Nebraska has lost defensive tackle Jared Crick for the season due to a torn pectoral muscle.

Coach Bo Pelini disclosed the severity of the injury Wednesday as the Huskers (5-1, 1-1 Big Ten) head into their bye week.

Crick, a 6-foot-6, 285-pound senior from Cozad, Neb., was seventh on the defense with 22 tackles this season, including a sack. He ranks eighth on the Nebraska career sacks list with 20, including 9.5 in both 2009 and 2010.

Crick played in five games this season, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suit up against Wyoming on Sept. 24 after suffering an unspecified injury against Washington a week earlier.

Pelini says losing Crick is a tough blow. He also says he believes Crick has a bright future in pro football.

FAU AD eyes Leach, others BOCA RATON, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Florida Atlanticâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic director says his long list of possible candidates to succeed coach Howard Schnellenberger includes former coaches Mike Leach, Randy Shannon and Jim Leavitt.

The 77-year-old Schnellenberger, the coach since the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first season in 2001, plans to retire at the end of this year.

Athletic director Craig Angelos said Wednesday heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll begin a formal search for Schnellenbergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor soon and hopes to hire someone around the end of the season.

Leach coached at Texas Tech, Shannon at Miami and Leavitt at South Florida. All were fired within the past two years.

Leach went 84-43 in 10 seasons at Texas Tech before he was fired in December 2009 following allegations he mistreated a player who had a concussion. Leach denied the allegations and sued for wrongful termination.

DURHAM, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mike Krzyzewski says he not only supports the Atlantic Coast Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent expansion to 14 teams, he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind if the league kept growing.

The Hall of Fame Duke coach said Wednesday during media day that it â&#x20AC;&#x153;seems to me that if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go 14, then you should go 16.â&#x20AC;?

The ACC last month announced it would add Pittsburgh and Syracuse. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear when they will begin playing, but when they do, Krzyzewski expects at least an 18-game ACC schedule. ACC teams currently play 16 league games per season.

If the ACC stops there, Krzyzewski says he would a two-division setup with seven teams each and a 19-game conference schedule in which schools would play divisional opponents twice and cross-divisional opponents once.

NBA

Durant, OKC to host game OKLAHOMA CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It might be as close as Oklahoma City ever gets to hosting an All-Star game.

Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin will play on opposing teams in an exhibition game next week at the Cox Convention Center, with LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul among the other NBA superstars expected to fill out the rosters.

Commissioner David Stern has said Oklahoma City, one of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smaller markets, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the hotel rooms and other infrastructure to host all that goes along with the real All-Star game. But the USFleetTracking Basketball Invitational, to be played Oct. 23, will be a rare chance for the community to witness many of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stars playing together instead of just when they come in individually with their own NBA teams.

With players locked out by the NBA, Durant has played in a series of exhibition games, most recently in the Miami area last week. Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his turn to host one of the showcases in his part-time home. Oklahoma City teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden are expected to play in the game, along with former Thunder forward Jeff Green, who was traded to Boston last season.

Howard ruptured his left Achillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tendon while making the final out in Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1-0 loss to St. Louis in the deciding game of the NLDS last Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be five-to-six months from the surgery until he can play at his accustomed level,â&#x20AC;? general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr., said.

Sporting K.C. plays to draw KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — Omar Bravo’s apparent goal against his old team was disallowed, and Sporting Kansas City tied Chivas de Guadalajara, 2-2, in an international friendly Wednesday night.

Second-half goals by Soony Saad and Kevin Ellis gave Sporting a 2-1 lead, but Chivas’ Erick Torres scored in the 88th-just two minute after Ellis’ goal - to salvage the tie for the visitors.

The game was rough for a friendly, with five cautions and one straight red card.

“It was very physical,” Chivas midfielder Patricio Araujo said. “There was a lot of pushing, all that stuff. It was a good game.”

Despite the draw, Kansas City coach Peter Vermes said the game served its purpose of getting his players some stiff competition headed into the MLS regular-season stretch.

“I thought it was a good game for us,” Vermes said.

“Having been off a couple of weeks with the bye, it’s always good to have a game — a high-level game — to get the kinks out and get back into a rhythm.”

Marco Fabian converted an early penalty kick for the Mexican side, whose fans significantly outnumbered Sporting’s supporters in the crowd of 17,142.

Saad, who came on at halftime, scored in the 75th min-

“We don’t have as many numbers as we had in the past,” Self said. “We’ve been pretty spoiled when (Cole) Aldrich and (Thomas) Robinson are your fourth big guys.

That’s a pretty good situation to have. We don’t have the depth, but we’ve got good guys who care a lot and try hard. I think it’ll be an exciting and fun team to watch.”

Returnees Conner Teahan, Justin Wesley, Niko Roberts, Christian Garrett and Jordan Juenemann are also joined on the roster by newcomers Naadir Tharpe, Merv Lindsay, Kevin Young, Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor. McLemore and Traylor have yet to be cleared for participation by the NCAA. “I know they are going to be good,” Kansas State coach Frank Martin said of the rival Jayhawks. “One thing I learned over the years, he (Self) does as good a job as anybody in the country. He will have those guys ready to go.”

Cauley’s closest competition is 330 yards back.

“People have doublecovered him. People have pressed him. People have done all kinds of combo coverages on him,” Lisher said.

“It’s just, he’s 6-10. And he’s got a wingspan that’s probably 7-10. His arms are so long, it’s unbelievable. The kid’s just an athlete.”

Motivational speaker Joe Rhea spoke to the Jayhawks for 45 minutes on Wednesday afternoon. Rhea, whose story is available at the website www.joerhea.com, sustained a broken neck playing football at the age of 14 in 1984.

Once paralyzed, he today is able to walk, run, play golf and ski.

Rhea last spoke to the Jayhawks prior to the 2006-07 season. Many of those players went on to win the 2008 national title.

“Sometimes it’s good to be reminded that they are really fortunate,” Rhea said. “They have a tremendous opportunity in front of them. I tell my story, which puts things in perspective, makes them realize what they have and how quickly it can be taken away.”

His message?

“I told them when you are down 10 points with three minutes left, that’s not tough, that’s fun. That’s an opportunity to show what you are made of,” Rhea said. “We talked about overcoming odds, a little bit about making sure they understand the decisions they make can unfortunately lead to catastrophic consequences. Getting in a car with the wrong person ... what they put on Facebook might not be catastrophic, but can lead to catastrophic consequences.”

offside, though, and was lifted for Milos Stojcev two minutes later.

“I didn’t see it,” Bravo said through an interpreter. “I thought the defender brushed me. That’s football.”

Fabian scored from the spot in the 20th minute, after Sporting’s Aurelien Collin tripped up Carlos Fierro in the penalty area as Fierro maneuvered for a cross. Af-

ter both that goal and Torres’ late equalizer, Chivas fans’ cheers rocked Livestrong Sporting Park.

“This is one of the traditional Mexican teams,” coach Fernando Quirante said. “This team has a lot of people, Mexican league fans, who anticipate them coming here because they haven’t gotten to see them for a long time. It’s great.”

Rhea surprised the KU players by being able to rattle off the Jayhawks’ NCAA Tournament results each year since 1985.

“I told them, ‘As fans, we don’t feel what you feel, but we live and die with you guys,’” Rhea said. “I told them that Frank White (KC Royals) came to my house when I was a boy and had pizza with me. That one night changed my life. I told the players that they have this ability to affect kids with a handshake, taking a few extra minutes being polite, things that could go a long way in making a difference with a kid’s life.”

He suggested the players, “push themselves. I’d give anything to go back and do Boot Camp if I could. Hopefully I motivated them with my memory of tournament losses. I also told them the reason they won it in ’08 is they believed they could win it. You don’t come to KU because you are a mediocre player, but because you are elite.”

Rhea spoke with KU junior Robinson after the session.

“I wanted to talk to Thomas and say how sorry I was for what he went through,” Rhea said of the death of Robinson’s mom and two grandparents last school year. “I wanted to say how proud of him I was as a Jayhawk fan.”

he’s mostly seen just three routes from Cauley: a fade route, a crossing route and a hitch route (where the receiver takes a few steps before stopping quickly and turning toward the quarterback).

The Ravens don’t have to be much fancier than that, because opponents have a difficult time stopping those three plays.

“He can reach over the top of defensive backs and get a football,” Lisher said. “He’s just got good hands that can pull it in. Plus, for a 6-10 guy, he’s not afraid to run over you. He’ll run through you.”

The Firebirds (4-2) don’t plan to use any exotic defenses to stop Cauley.

Lisher believes the best way to slow the receiver down will be to put pressure on Northwest quarterback Dalton Rook.

Perhaps not surprisingly,

Rook leads the Sunflower League in passing with 1,364 yards. He’s also thrown 15 touchdowns to 11 interceptions.

Free State, meanwhile, will try to continue its success on the ground with its undersized offensive line.

The Firebirds ran for 263 yards in last week’s 14-12 loss to Shawnee Mission East, while quarterback Kyle McFarland had at least 100 rushing yards for the third straight game.

“Coach always says we’re not the biggest people, so we have to be technically sound,” Free state senior left guard Jimmy Fernandez said.

“I think we’re getting better at doing that each week.”

The game could be high scoring. Olathe Northwest averages 36.3 points per contest while giving up 35.3 points.

BASEBALL PLAYOFFS ALCS

Cruz crushes again in 11th Rangers take 3-1 series lead against Tigers

Paul Sancya/AP Photo

TEXAS’ NELSON CRUZ FOLLOWS THROUGH on his three-run home run in the 11th inning in Game 4 of the American League championship series against the Detroit Tigers Wednesday in Detroit.

After going just 1-for-15 in the first-round playoff win over Tampa Bay, he’s 5-for-14 with nine RBIs in only four games against the Tigers — and seven of those RBIs have come in the 11th inning alone.

Brandon Inge hit a solo home run in the Detroit seventh that tied it. The Tigers wasted a terrific chance an inning later following some risky Texas strategy.

With one out and nobody on, the Rangers intentionally walked Cabrera, practically daring the rest of the struggling Detroit lineup to beat them. The AL batting champion hit a two-run double earlier in the game, in fact.

“First time shame on you, next time shame on me,” Washington said.

Victor Martinez, who hurt

his ribcage on a home run swing in Game 3, followed with a single to right and Cabrera lumbered around to third.

Young, another Tigers starter who has been banged up, managed to lift the ball to medium right. Cruz caught it and made a perfect, one-hop throw to the plate that beat Cabrera by several feet.

Cabrera bowled over Napoli, to no avail. Napoli held onto the ball and Cabrera never touched the plate.

Austin Jackson was hit by a pitch with one out in the Detroit 10th, but Napoli threw him out stealing, and reliever Scott Feldman made it out of the 10th.

Feldman got the win, and Texas closer Neftali Feliz worked the 11th.

————

DETROIT (AP) — The Texas tag team of Nelson Cruz and Mike Napoli was too much for the Detroit Tigers.

Cruz made a rocket throw to keep the score tied, then hit a crushing three-run homer in the 11th inning off Jose Valverde that helped send the Rangers over the Tigers, 7-3 ,Wednesday night for a 3-1 lead in the AL championship series. Napoli had put Texas ahead with an RBI single earlier in the 11th.

Cruz, whose grand slam in the 11th inning won Game 2, once again starred for the Rangers in a game delayed at the start for more than two hours by rain.

With Detroit runners at the corners in the eighth and the score 3-all, Cruz caught Delmon Young’s flyball to right field and made a strong peg to Napoli, the catcher, to nail Miguel Cabrera.

“For you guys that haven’t seen Nelson every day, he’s capable of doing exactly what he’s doing,” Texas manager Ron Washington said.

“We’ve been waiting for it for a long time, and as I always say, I don’t judge Nelson just because he hits balls out of the ballpark. He’s a complete player. He takes pride in every part of the game.”

Napoli blooped a go-ahead single in the 11th and Cruz soon added his fourth home run of the ALCS. Cruz became the first player in major league history to hit a pair of extra-inning homers in the same postseason series.

Texas tries for its second consecutive AL pennant today, sending C.J. Wilson to the mound to face Detroit ace Justin Verlander.

The ALCS has marked quite a turnaround for Cruz.

Cardinals regroup, take 2-1 lead ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols hit an RBI double during a four-run first inning, and the St. Louis bullpen bailed out Chris Carpenter as the Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 4-3, Wednesday night for a 2-1 edge in the NL championship series.

In a matchup of aces, neither Carpenter nor 17game winner Yovani Gallardo made it past the fifth.

The one-run lead Carpenter handed over was just enough, as four relievers combined for four perfect innings.

Fernando Salas, Lance Lynn, Marc Rzepczynski and Jason Motte shut down the Brewers to close out the victory. Motte, who had two saves lasting more than inning in September, got four outs for this save and fanned pinch hitter Casey McGehee to end it.

Carpenter won his seventh postseason game to tie Bob Gibson’s franchise record, but with none of the brilliance of his three-hit shutout over Roy Halladay and the favored Phillies in the deciding game of the division series.

He lasted only five innings, with nearly half of his 89 pitches for balls.

The starters’ ineffectiveness was surprising considering their track records.

Carpenter has been clutch throughout his career in the postseason, going 7-2 with a

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS RELIEVER JASON MOTTE, LEFT, CELEBRATES with catcher Yadier Molina after the final out in the ninth inning of Game 3 of the NLCS against Milwaukee on Wednesday in St. Louis.

3.14 ERA in 12 games. Gallardo allowed only two runs in 21 innings, a minuscule 0.86 ERA, before Game 3.

Kyle Lohse, pitching on 12 days’ rest, starts Game 4 today for the wild-card Cardinals against Randy Wolf.

The Cardinals batted around against Gallardo in the first. Pujols delivered an RBI double after starring in a Game 2 win with a home run and three doubles.

St. Louis had its chances to break away later, but hit into three double plays and stranded nine runners.

Gallardo, who’s 1-7 with a 5.66 career mark against the Cardinals, trailed 2-0 after his first 12 pitches and barely made it out of the first trailing 4-0. The right-hander walked three, one of them intentional, and the Brewers had Chris Narveson up in the bullpen before Yadier Molina

Remember local first responders in wake of 9/11/01 anniversary

By Harry Herington Chamber of Commerce, in CEO & Chairman, NIC Inc. partnership with my company, Founder, Ride 4 Cops NIC Inc., presents the inaugural

Last month across the country we remembered first responders on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. That day we lost more than 400 first responders as part of the terrorist attacks, and more than 2,000 were injured. It was a somber reminder of how police officers, firefighters, and emergency management technicians risk their lives every day to protect the public – at times paying the ultimate price.

This month we are recognizing 14 first responders in our community as the Lawrence

Valor Awards.

The Valor program was developed to recognize the heroic acts of local law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. This year’s honorees have rescued individuals from a river, a dangerous crash scene, and a burning building. At each instance they were resolute and took the necessary actions to save lives and contain an emergency situation, risking their own safety in the process.

At times we hear about these courageous acts on the news.

Other times they go unnoticed as part of a first responder’s daily job. In any case, the residents of Lawrence and Douglas County owe the 14 Valor Award honor-

ees, and all of those protecting public safety, their gratitude.

They are protecting our homes, businesses, children, and our lives. What they may view as just ‘another day at the office,’ in fact continues the quality of life each and every one of us enjoy.

And, in addition to their courage, first responders are supported by family members that sacrifice so that they can do their job. As a former police officer, I know how important this support is. I remember making a pact with my partner that should anything happen to me, to take care of my family. I wasn’t worried about falling in the line of duty; I was worried about what would happen to my family if I did. So as we honor the 14 Valor Award winners, let’s also recognize the support of their families and the sacrifices family members of first respond-

ers make.

While the anniversary of 9/11 has passed, our community has an opportunity to remember our first responder heroes. I hope you will join me at a luncheon on Oct. 18 to congratulate the 13 men and one woman of our 2011 Valor Award class and honor their service.

Chiefs’ recipe for team togetherness: Add corn

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Todd Haley’s team was floundering. The Kansas City Chiefs hadn’t won a game, and even though players insisted morale was fine, it was awfully hard to believe them.

Their head coach got to thinking about ways to loosen them up, something that might create some team unity. His mind drifted to summer vacations along the beach in Ocean City, Md., and a simple game played at just about every bar and honky-tonk along the boardwalk.

It’s called “cornhole,” or “bags,” depending on where you live.

The premise is simple: Two pieces of lumber are situated exactly 33 feet apart, with a hole drilled in each, and players try to lob four bean bags through the hole. You get three points for making it and one for landing the bag on the board, and the player with the most points wins.

“We bought one at an auction this summer for a kid who was in an accident, and it was just painted up really nice, it had the name of the place we go to eat all the time,” Haley said. “So when I started thinking about this, I called my wife. She called the people who owned the place and said, ‘Can we get one that says Chiefs?’ He had it here like, three days later.

“We’ve been trying to figure out ways to create some togetherness,” Haley said.

“It’s been great, another way to keep guys hanging around and interacting with each other.”

Must be working, too.

Ever since the white playing boards with the Chiefs’ logo showed up in the locker room, on the carpet right smack in the middle of it, Kansas City hasn’t lost a game. True, the two wins were over struggling teams in Minnesota and Indianapolis, but that doesn’t change

“

It’s been great, another way to keep guys hanging around and interacting with each other.”

— Chiefs coach Todd Haley, on the “cornhole” boards he has used to boost team morale the fact that the mood has changed dramatically the last couple of weeks as the Chiefs head into their bye week.

Tension is gone. Chins are held higher. Smiles flow a little more freely.

The defending AFC West champions lost their first two games by a combined 89-10, one of the most dismal starts the league has ever seen. But despite losing a constellation of star players to season-ending injuries, the Chiefs are once again playing with some swagger.

It’s the same swagger that’s showing up in the locker room after ever practice.

That’s when the competitive juices really start flowing.

“When you want to beat the best, you come see me,” said defensive back Travis Daniels, who has quite the cornhole rivalry going with wide receiver Steve Breaston.

“It’s all in how you throw it. I sort of short-stroke it and it pops up there,” rookie wide receiver Jon Baldwin said.

“We’ve been playing a few weeks now and we’re getting pretty good at it.”

Just how seriously do the Chiefs take their cornhole?

There’s white athletic tape on the carpet to denote boundaries, the distance between the boards was measured exactly, and everything is done to the exact specifications of the American Cornhole Association — yes, it really does exist.

“We Googled it,” Haley said.

The third-year head coach said he can hold his own, and

Daniels admitted he’s “pretty good.”

“But he can’t beat me,” Daniels added.

The consensus is that long snapper Thomas Gafford or kicker Ryan Succop is the best.

Must be something about those special teams guys, always over on the adjacent practice field, with all that extra time to kill while the rest of the guys are hard at work.

“I don’t know who’s the best,” linebacker Andy Studebaker said. “Don’t give it to Gafford. That’ll puff his head up too much. He’ll see your article and think he’s the best.

“Give it to Succop,” Studebaker said. “He’s pretty good.”

According to Succop, it’s all in the motion.

Safety Sabby Piscitelli throws the bags end-overend, and they tend to hit hard and slide off the board.

Others toss them like they’re shooting a jumpshot in basketball, and that makes it difficult to find some consistency. Still others throw them underhanded with sideways spin.

Succop takes a small step forward, drawing his arm back breezily, and then lets the bag fly with a gentle follow-through. It floats through the air with hardly any spin, and it falls with a thump on the board, sticking right where it lands.

“We’ve got some guys who are pretty good at it,” Haley said. “Gafford is good, Succop is pretty good. It’s been a lot of fun. I’m actually going to get two more. The lines get too big.”

Of course, the game won’t be considered such a novel, team-building diversion if the Chiefs start losing. Then it’ll be blamed for being a mindless distraction.

“Winning helps that,” Haley said with a smile. “Had we not been winning, I think they might be being used as firewood already.”

BRIEFLY Raiders QB Pryor returns to practice

Cowboys WR duo ready to return

Seahawks part with former first pick

ALAMEDA, CALIF. — Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor returned to practice for the first time since serving a five-game suspension.

Pryor practiced with his teammates Wednesday, two days after his suspension was officially lifted.

Pryor had to serve the suspension when he was allowed to participate in the supplemental draft.

Pryor left Ohio State instead of Pryor serving a five-game ban after being involved in a cash-for-memorablia scandal that has put the Buckeyes under NCAA investigation.

Pryor was selected by the Raiders in the third round of the supplemental draft Aug. 22. He took part in three practices during preseason but has only been allowed to attend meetings and do individual drills on his own since the end of the exhibition season.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS — Cowboys receivers Miles Austin and Dez Bryant participated fully in practice Wednesday, a promising sign that they are close to playing together again.

Dallas hasn’t had its top two wide receivers in the same game since the season opener.

Austin, a Pro Bowl selection last season, missed the last two games since aggravating a hamstring injury at the end of regulation in the Week 2. Bryant missed that game due to a bruised thigh, but has played through the injury since then.

RENTON, WASH. — Linebacker Aaron Curry is on his way out of Seattle after 21⁄2 seasons during which he failed to live up to being the fourth overall pick in the 2009 draft.

Curry was absent from Seahawks practice on Wednesday and his locker was completely cleaned out.

The team would not confirm reports that a trade sending Curry to Oakland in exchange for draft picks was finalized.

Some of his former Seattle teammates confirmed Curry had come in to the team’s facility Wednesday morning to say his goodbyes.

Curry had fallen out of favor in Seattle, with rookie K.J. Wright taking over the starting strongside linebacker role. It was a rapid fall for a linebacker considered a “can’t miss” when he was taken No. 4 overall coming out of Wake Forest in 2009.

But the Butkus Award winner his senior year at Wake Forest was never able to make the full transition to the pros.

Vick’s early picks may not be his fault PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick’s passes are landing in defender’s hands at an alarming rate.

It doesn’t mean Vick has suddenly turned into Spergon Wynn.

Vick has thrown more interceptions — seven — five games into this season than he did all of last year when he led the Philadelphia Eagles to the NFC East title.

His turnovers are just one of several reasons why the Eagles are off to a 1-4 start in a season that began with Super Bowl expectations.

But a closer look at Vick’s picks shows the Pro Bowl quarterback isn’t really at fault for at least five, perhaps six of them. A combination of mistakes by receivers and poor protection has hurt Vick.

Injured TE Gates to use bye to heal SAN DIEGO — Star tight end Antonio Gates is beyond eager to get back out on the field with his San Diego Chargers teammates.

The Chargers need him back as well, knowing that their struggles inside the 20-yard line have a lot to do with Gates not providing a big target for Philip Rivers to throw to.

After missing the last three games with painful plantar fasciitis in his right foot, Gates gets the bye weekend to continue his rest and receive treatment. He’d like to be back in uniform for the Chargers’ game at the New York Jets on Oct. 23, but is making no promises.

Falcons’ Jones out; Meier on deck FLOWERY BRANCH, GA. — Atlanta rookie receiver Julio Jones will miss the Falcons’ game Sunday against Carolina because of a hamstring injury.

Jones pulled up in the fourth quarter of a 25-14 loss to Green Bay while running a deep route down the sideline.

Harry Douglas will start in place of Jones, who has 25 catches for 358 yards.

Kerry Meier and Eric Weems should get more playing time out of the three-receiver sets.

“One man’s misfortune,” coach Mike Smith said, “is another guy’s opportunity.

Jets trade Mason after struggles FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Derrick Mason came to the New York Jets expecting to be a major contributor for what he hoped would be a Super Bowl run.

After seeing his role diminish after just five weeks, the veteran wide receiver was sent packing to Houston after the Jets completed a trade with the Texans on Wednesday for an undisclosed draft pick.

Mason signed with the Jets in August to high expectations, with coach Rex Ryan predicting at least 80 catches for him.

But he struggled early with 13 receptions for 115 yards, and was benched in favor of rookie Jeremy Kerley in New York’s 30-21 loss at New England on Sunday.

The deal ends a quick stint in New York for the 37-year-old Mason, who spent the last six seasons with Baltimore, Ryan’s former team.

KU NOTEBOOK

Wright

Ex-Jayhawk Laptad signs

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“He literally was flip-flopping back and forth even during the week,” Hooks said. “But worse than that, I ended up homeless, and we were staying in an abandoned d building with no run-ning water — a horrrid thing for a kid to o have to go through. h.

But he was a trooper. er.

He always found the he best things. We would uld go outside at night and dance in the rain, and d he would invent little games mes for us to play.”

Around that time, ime, Wright began using sports ports as a distraction. He e excelled in just about everything he tried, but didn’t take to football so quickly. ckly.

“At first, he seemed so uncoordinated and frustrated strated and crying and mad,” Hooks said. “But when he first got it was when he was a receiver and he caught the ball and ran all the way to the other end of the field. After that, it was all over. That was his sport. That was his love.”

By eighth grade, Wright had grown to 5-6. A year later, he sprouted seven inches and stood 6-1 as a ninth-grader.

Although Wright’s many health concerns vanished before causing much harm, his upbringing was another story. It didn’t create the same kind of pain that asthma, blindness or physical abnormalities would have, but it harmed a part of Wright nobody could see. This, too, forced him to fight.

During his three years on the Kansas City Washington varsity football team, Wright was ejected from eight games, all for fighting on the field. Because of the anger he carried with him just about out every day, the physically gifted player had become a liability for his team.

“I was a head case,” Wright said. “That was my biggest problem. It was more or less like my background caught up with me. That made me better, but the only problem was I couldn’t translate the difference between being on the field and being off the field. I could play angry on the field, and I could be great, but I couldn’t understand that in the classroom you couldn’t do the same kind of stuff.”

While Wright’s past took k its toll, he found a way to o use his rage to hit harderr and play faster. He quickly y became one of the top play-ers in the Kansas City area. a.

With that, came trips to KU U for seven-on-seven camps, s, where a good showing could have landed Wright a Div. I scholarship. His physical abilities stacked up.

Mentally, he remained worlds behind the rest of the players, and that kept coaches from committing to him.

The Stuckey factor There’s a barber shop in KCK that’s responsible for helping Wright get his life on track. His dad’s shop, The Wright Cutt, provided the setting for one of the biggest talks of his life. His mentor, Darrell Stuckey, a Washington High grad and one of KU’s all-time greats, provided the soundtrack.

“Me and Isaac have had kind of a big-brother relationship ever since I met him,” Stuckey said. “I knew he was smart. He could play the game of football and he took care of what was important. I think I saw something in him that even he didn’t know he had.”

Dwayne Wright never will forget Stuckey’s work that day.

“They went outside of my shop and sat on the front step and talked for an hour or two,” said Dwayne Wright, who still cuts Stuckey’s hair when he’s in town. “When they came back in, Isaac’s whole attitude was different.”

Stuckey, who now plays for the San Diego Chargers, remembers the conversation, too.

“It was about him seeing life as he needed to see it instead of how he wanted to see it,” Stuckey said. “And I

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Former Kansas University defensive lineman Jake Laptad has been signed by the Chicago Bears. Laptad, an undrafted free agent who graduated from KU in 2011, joined the team Wednesday in Chicago.

The three-time honorable mention All-Big 12 defensive end, who ranks second on KU’s all-time sacks list with 21, spent part of the summer in Chicago’s training camp.

He was cut just before the start of the regular season and was added to the Bears’ practice squad Tuesday.

According to his Twitter page, @Lapteezy91, the former Jayhawk is more than a little excited.

“I’m having a really good day,” Laptad wrote Tuesday.

“Flying back to Chicago tonight. Gonna be on da Bears again!!”

Laptad is the eighth former Jayhawk currently listed an NFL roster. He joins Dezmon Briscoe (Tampa Bay), Anthony Collins (Cincinnati), Chris Harris (Denver), Kerry Meier (Atlanta), Moran Norris (San Francisco), Darrell Stuckey (San Diego) and Aqib Talib (Tampa Bay).

played in one of the most intense rivalries in college football. Nebraska-Oklahoma, old Big Eight rivals no longer in the same conference, delivered some of the best games in college history, frequently meeting with both teams ranked near the top of the polls.

The rivalry began Nov. 23, 1912, and continued until 2010, when OU topped NU, 23-20, in last year’s Big 12 championship game.

With Nebraska now in the Big Ten, it’s hard to say when, if ever, these two will play again.

“It’s a little biased for me, because I had a chance to play in it and coach in it,” said Gill, recalling the NU-OU battles. “It was an outstanding rivalry. It was fun to play in it. It was fun to coach it and be around it on both sides. It was a great experience.”

Series history The KU-OU series is the third-most-played in Oklahoma history.

The Jayhawks and Sooners are set to meet for the 102nd time, ranking only behind OU’s 106 meetings with Texas and 105 against Oklahoma State.

OU leads the all-time series with KU, 68-27-6, and Gill recalls rivalry has won six straight in the For a few years in the early series, including the last two 1980s, KU coach Turner Gill meetings in Lawrence.

told him it was important to put as much into it as he’s going to get out of it. I told him, ‘If you want something, go chase it. You have to go and get it.’”

Wright listened, and when he received a scholarship from Butler Community College to play football, he thought he was on his way.

He red-shirted his first year, missed his second year because of injury and never played a down at Butler. He transferred to Independence CC, where, for the first time in his life, he was allowed to play linebacker. After finishing the 2010 season with 88 tackles, Wright began getting calls from Div. I programs.

Things looked good for him to head to Arkansas as a walk-on but, at the last minute, the Razorbacks changed their mind and, once again, Wright’s anger surfaced. Instead of letting it pull him back down, Wright remembered Stuckey’s words and the school where Stuckey starred. KU coach Turner Gill offered Wright preferred-walk-on status, and the junior joined the team this summer.

“Being a walk-on is pretty tough,” Wright said. “Money is the biggest issue; buying books, buying food, paying your rent, getting back and forth to practice without a car. All through summer, I jogged, I think three or four weeks straight, to make it to morning practice. I’d get up at 4 in the morning to make it, but when you’ve got this kind of opportunity, you

can’t complain about not getting enough sleep.”

Road work is nothing new for Wright. He used to jog two miles to his grandma’s house in a weighted vest and often did 500 push-ups right after waking up. His stepfather, Rodney Hooks, told him it would make him stronger.

Wright didn’t question it.

Once his KU teammates got to know him and realized the lengths he went to in order to make workouts, help started coming his way.

“Lubbock Smith. Make sure you put that down,” Wright said. “I really appreciate him. He got me. He’s seen where I’m coming from.

He’s just seen people struggling, and I’m pretty sure he’s had the same kind of stuff.”

Asked what inspired him to give rides to a player he hardly knew, Smith didn’t flinch.

“He didn’t even have to ask me,” Smith said. “That’s just what you do for a teammate or a brother.”

‘I do have a calling’ Today, Wright is listed as a second-string linebacker for the Jayhawks. He plays in the middle, behind sophomore transfer Darius Willis, and, although he’s still new to the position, he has played in all five of KU’s games and recorded five tackles. Naturally, every one has made mom proud.

“Isaac had the instinct, the gut and the heart, but he didn’t have the training at linebacker,” Hooks said. “So for him to get in the game as a walk-on without having that training, yeah, I’m hollerin’.”

Although he still tends to roll his eyes at his mother’s gushing, Wright said he knew where she was coming from.

“When you’re a child, I think they’re supposed to tell you you’re special to make you feel good,” he said. “But I am starting to believe that I do have a calling. Now that I understand it, I realize how hard being premature has been on so many other people. That’s the real blessing.

Not playing football, not going to school, just me being here.”

Added his mother: “He has come a long, long way. If you think about everything he went through, for him to come out like he did, it certainly wasn’t me, it certainly wasn’t his dad, it was nothing but God.” With the rest of his life figured out — school, his past, his future, his family — Wright, an internationalfinance major, said he looked forward to focusing on his one true passion.

“The only hobbies I have are football and trying to make it,” he said. “There’s a lot that goes into it, but this is the life I chose. And I’m fine with it. I can’t even imagine what life would be like without football. I can see me being the 60-year-old man still playing flag football. I see it. Because, at the end of the day, with everything being hard, you go back to what you love and just remember to have fun. Your biggest fight is between you. That was the thing I had to learn.

It’s not the other players. It’s not the coaches. It’s about you. And I’m happy.”

Feud between siblings affects entire family Annie’s Mailbox

about a dog sharing a name with a beloved family member so soon after his death.

I find that I still resent my friend’s choice. Too much time has passed for me to say anything now, but I am wondering whether we are right to be unhappy about this. Was it inappropriate for my friend to give her dog the same name as my recently deceased father? Or is this OK since she claims to be naming anniesmailbox@comcast.net it after a completely different person? — Confused ally, and occasionally remind Dear Confused: Did your them of the good times they friend address your father by had together when they were his first name? If not, the conyounger. Regretfully, there is only so much you can do in such a situation.

Dear Annie: A few years back, my father, “Peter,” died after a long and awful illness.

Within a year of his death, my best friend decided to adopt a dog. She told me she was naming the dog after a character in one of her favorite TV shows, “Peter.”

I was surprised by her choice, especially since it’s not a common name for a pet.

It apparently didn’t occur to her that it might make me uncomfortable. At the time, I didn’t say anything, fearing it would seem self-involved and overly sensitive of me.

However, when my mother heard about the dog’s name, she was quite offended. My brother was also not happy

New cable shows seem very familiar The case for cloning continues on cable. “Selling LA” (9 p.m., HGTV) becomes the West Coast companion to the network’s popular series, “Selling New York.” As on the Gotham version, we’re concerned here just with properties that will set you back $5 million to $40 million in the most luxurious locales. ‘‘Selling LA” also includes famous and quasi-celebrated buyers and sellers. Motivational speaker Grant Cardone wants to unload his mansion and believes a party will attract a buyer with $18 million to spend. Matt Sorum, who has drummed for Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, is looking for a new domicile but can’t quite muster an explanation of what he needs. It’s all about the “vibe.”

Another new series, “Bordertown: Laredo” (9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., A&E), follows the daily routine of police officers in Laredo, Texas, and some of their counterparts in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. These border towns are essential conduits in the massive illegal drug trade, bringing so much corruption and violence to our neighbor to the south.

It’s nothing new for these officers to pull over a small Dodge Neon with 100 pounds of marijuana in the trunk. This is hardly the first documentary series to take place on the volatile border. There’s little about this show that will be unfamiliar to hard-core “COPS” fans.

“Independent Lens” (9 p.m., PBS) moves to Thursday nights in many PBS markets. Check local listings. The first film in its 10th season is “Wham! Bam! Islam!”

It’s about a therapist from Kuwait and his efforts to create a comic book featuring Muslim superheroes. Early on in the film he describes how reading books and comic books helped him through an awkward adolescence when he was a pudgy, nearsighted and acne-scarred loner. If this film has a message it’s that “Muslims can be nerds, too.” And that notion alone may create bridges of understanding.

Fall’s revolving door continues. Last seen on Thursdays, the CBS show “How To Be a Gentleman” will move to Saturday nights to air a few remaining episodes. And the CBS show “Rules of Engagement,” originally scheduled for Saturday nights, will air on Thursdays, beginning Oct. 20. If you like NBC’s “Whitney,” you can see a repeat of it next Wednesday. That will replace “Free Agents,” which was canceled.

Tonight’s other highlights

Competition continues on “The X Factor” (7 p.m., Fox).

Assignment: Cuba on “Charlie’s Angels” (7 p.m., ABC).

A new name emerges on “Person of Interest” (8 p.m., CBS).

Andy throws a garden party on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC).

Jackson’s mother visits on “Grey’s Anatomy” (8 p.m., ABC).

Time to devise a mini-collection on “Project Runway” (8 p.m., Lifetime).

Jane tries to avert political violence on “The Mentalist” (9 p.m., CBS).

A broker falls under suspicion on “Prime Suspect” (9 p.m., NBC).

A would-be mother has anatomical issues on “Private Practice” (9 p.m., ABC).

Frank’s estranged brother reveals family secrets on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (9 p.m., FX).

nection may not have been as obvious to her as it was to you.

Perhaps she was trying to honor your dad. It’s equally possible that she is simply obtuse and insensitive. People can name their pets what they wish, and you can’t help how you feel about it.

However, since this still bothers you after so many years, you may as well mention how much it upset you. We suspect she hasn’t a clue.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, Oct. 13: This year you have more impact than you have had in years. You also will feel the weight of additional responsibility. If you are single, someone you meet this year could be significant to your life.

If you choose to hook up with this person, you will have difficulty getting out of this bond, should you so choose. If you are attached, the two of you could be unusually hard on each other. Taurus understands you well.

Dear Annie: Two of my married children have been in a feud for more than three years. It started with comments made about one of their children and has accelerated to the point where one won’t attend a family function if the other is there. Now it is spreading to my other children, who refuse to be in the same room with feuding people. It breaks my heart.

My husband and I arranged a family dinner where we suggested everyone simply forgive each other, but it didn’t work. We have written letters and talked to our children individually. We even postponed our family reunion because so many of them weren’t going to attend and I couldn’t handle it myself.

I do not know what to do and would appreciate any suggestions. — Nameless Dear Nameless: What a shame that your children cannot appreciate their sibling relationships enough to put this aside. Unfortunately, such feuds can take on a life of their own, making reconciliation harder as time passes. Everyone loses. Ask if any of the children would agree to seek family counseling with you. Those who are willing could benefit, and it will help you develop better coping skills. Continue to see your children individu-

Survey: 80% of U.S. boys use condoms the first time CHICAGO (AP) — A surprising 80 percent of teenage boys say they are using condoms the first time they have sex, a government survey found in a powerful sign that decades of efforts to change young people’s sexual behavior are taking hold.

But another promising trend — a drop since the 1980s in the number of teenagers having sex — has leveled off.

Boys’ condom use may mean they are taking more responsibility for contraception or they are protecting themselves from sexually transmitted diseases, experts say.

Or, as one young man said, girls may be drawing the line.

Lawrence

“I’m not sure how much of this is guys thinking they need to use a condom or girls insisting they use a condom,” said 17-year-old Olivier Vanasse of Princeton, N.J. “I’d be hesitant to give guys credit for coming up with this on their own.”

The study, released Wednesday, is based on interviews with about 4,700 teenagers, ages 15 to 19, conducted from 2006 through 2010.

It shows the percentage of boys who said they used condoms the first time they had sex climbed from 71 percent in 2002 to 80 percent in the new survey. In 1988, 55 percent of boys said they used a condom during their first sexual intercourse.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Wednesday’s markets

BlackBerry outages spread to North America NEW YORK — BlackBerry users across the world were exasperated Wednesday as an outage of email, messaging and Internet services on the phones spread to the U.S. and Canada and stretched into the third day for Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa.

It was the biggest outage in years for BlackBerry users, and strained their relationship with an already tarnished

brand. It came on the eve of the launch of a mighty competitor — a new iPhone model.

Research In Motion Ltd., the Canadian company that makes the phones, said a crucial link in its European infrastructure failed Monday, and a backup didn’t work either.

The underlying problem has been fixed, but a backlog

of emails and messages has built up that the company has yet to work down.

Meanwhile, emails and messages from other regions to Europe were piling up in RIM’s systems in the rest of the world, like letters clogging a mailbox. That caused the outages in the U.S. and Asia, said David Yach, RIM’s chief technology officer for software.
