SCHOOL BOARD

Members differ on bond’s anticipated fate

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Members of the Lawrence school board clarified their instructions Monday for advisers envisioning scenarios for consolidating — as directed — two or three of six

elementary schools during the next two to three years:

Don’t let questions about each building’s capacity stop “creative” suggestions.

BOB MACLEAY GETS A HUG FROM HIS WIFE, MARGE, after he landed safely at Lawrence Municipal Airport in a 1942 Stearman biplane. The World War II veteran got the chance to fly in the same type of plane used to train pilots in the 1930s and 40s. The flight was made possible through Ageless Aviation Dreams, which offers joyrides to veterans from around the country as a way to honor them.

Bob MacLeay, 86, has led an adventurous life. He earned medals for fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and spent decades after World War II scaling New York skyscrapers, inspecting them as a structural engineer.

MacLeay had no ties to Kansas, but every summer he and his wife would drive west to reunite with Army buddies in California.

Without fail, they would stop in Lawrence and eat at what they considered one of the finest restaurants in the country, Buffalo Bob’s Smokehouse.

“We were devastated when they closed for a while,” MacLeay’s wife,

MACLEAY LISTENS TO DARRYL FISHER talk about what to expect on the flight in a 1942 Stearman biplane. The flight from Lawrence Municipal Airport on Sept. 1 lasted about 20 minutes.

Marjorie, said.

After post-retirement stints in Colorado, Massachusetts and Topeka, the MacLeays have chosen Lawrence as their last stop in a long line of residences.

They have grandchildren in Topeka and were sold on Lawrence when they saw Meadowlark Estates, a new retirement community that

opened this month.

“It’s got enough of a big city feel without being one,” MacLeay said.

Stories like the MacLeays’ are common among people who retire to Lawrence. They come to be near family or because of fond memories attending Kansas University.

Some Lawrence leaders

would like to recruit more people like the MacLeays, people they say will bring economic resources and be a positive force in the community. The Douglas County Retiree Attraction Task Force began meeting this month to decide how to help Lawrence become a retirement destination.

Lawrence already has a lot going for it, as attested by its strong showing in national lists of “best places to retire.” But experts in aging say there are improvements that can be made to help put Lawrence over the top in its quest to attract more retirees.

Why they chose Lawrence Perhaps no group better exemplifies what Lawrence has to offer retirees than the New Generation Society of Lawrence.

The group has 160 members, who take in lectures and meet with local luminaries such as the Lawrence

The Douglas County Food Policy Council released a 75page report Monday that provided a smorgasbord of information about the food system in Douglas, Jefferson and Leavenworth counties.

It showed everything from where we grow our food to how much we spend. It also pointed out how much we like to eat fats and sweets over fruits and vegetables.

“It’s a health issue and economic opportunity for our area,” said Eileen Horn, who provides staff support for the council and is Douglas County sustainability coordinator.

The 20-member council, which was formed two years ago, wanted a better understanding of the food system, and so it joined forces with Kansas State University researchers to compile the report, “Building A Deep-Rooted Local Food System.” The report took one year to complete and cost about $2,000. It was released Monday in conjunction with national Food Day, which promotes healthy, affordable food produced in a sustainable, humane way.

Horn said the council was not surprised to learn that the number of farms dropped 32 percent from 1950 to 2007 in the tri-county area, and for those farmers remaining, a majority have a second job as their main income.

“So here, like everywhere else, it’s difficult to make a living at farming,” Horn said.

But, there were some “aha moments” she said:

The gap between what we are producing and eating based on food receipts is larger than expected. We spend $392 million on food each year, and 42 percent of that is at local restaurants and businesses.

Dolores Moseley has had times during her 26-year career with the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office when she has woken up at 2 a.m. thinking about victims in a case.

“You try not to do that, and once a case is over, you have to detach yourself again,” said Moseley, who helps victims and witnesses

through district court proceedings.

“It takes a little piece out of you on some of the high-profile Moseley cases because you do get to know those people very well.”

The Willow Domestic Violence Center recently

awarded Moseley with a certificate of appreciation for her work with domestic violence victims. Moseley received the award during the Take Back the Night event in South Park.

“The entire staff appreciates the hard work and dedication she provides domestic violence survivors as they navigate through the criminal justice system,” said Peggy Tillman-Young, a Willow court advocate

who nominated Moseley.

“Numerous survivors have voiced their gratitude for her guidance and support.”

Moseley can often be seen making sure victims and witnesses know where to go if they have to testify. She also often sits in the audience for support, as well, during trials and sentencing hearings.

And she often has many phone calls — they have a 24-hour rule on calling people back — to return

throughout a day. Moseley and fellow victim-witness coordinator Cindy Riling are typically in the office past 5 p.m. during the week catching up on calls.

“Dolores has been a stalwart and champion in our office for victims,” District Attorney Charles Branson said. “For over 25 years, she’s dealt with every type of case imaginable, and she is still Please see ADVOCATE, page 2A

DEATHS LEON H. ‘LEE’ HOLL Services for Leon H. “Lee” Holl, 60, Belleville, will be at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Central Christian Church, Belleville. Burial will be in Belleville Cemetery.

Mr. Holl, the father of Adam Holl and Aaron Holl

A visitation will be from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday at TibbettsFischer Funeral Home in Belleville.

Thelma Hemphill Evans Thelma Hemphill Evans, resident of Brandon Woods at Alvamar, passed away on October 19, 2011. Family will greet friends from 5:30 – 7:00 pm, Friday, November 4th, at the Warren-McElwain Mortuary, 13th and Massachusetts Street. Memorial service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, 2415 Clinton Pkwy, on Saturday, November 5th, at 11:00 am. Private inurnment for immediate family will be at Oak Hill Cemetery.

Thelma McCleary Hemphill was born on July 24, 1910, in Reno, Kansas. She had wonderful memories of her childhood spent at the Hemphill homestead. They moved to Lawrence when she entered first grade.

She attended Lawrence schools and continued her education at Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia, where she was a member of Delta Sigma Epsilon Sorority. Her first teaching position was in Lecompton, followed by several years at Pinckney Grade School. Over the years she received many notes from former students telling how significant she was in their education. She married David Houston Evans upon his return from Harvard Business School. In early marriage they loved to go to the Pla-Mor Ballroom in Kansas City, and Meadow Acres in Topeka, where they danced to Big Band music. David preceded her in death in 1984, shortly after their 50th wedding anniversary.

The Evans family had businesses in various types of transportation dating back to 1863, when the family started the Lawrence Transfer Company.

In later years the auto supply stores expanded to Topeka, Manhattan and Kansas City. The Hemphill family business, also dating back to early days in Lawrence history, was in farmland sales and investments.

Thelma was the oldest living member of the First Presbyterian Church. She was a past president of Chapter AZ of the P.E.O. Sisterhood. She belonged to the Betty Washington

able to do so with incredible compassion and caring. She has baby-sat children so parents can testify, wiped tears and called victims in the middle of the night to inform them of a defendant making bond. She has made the job of tending to the needs of victims her life.”

Moseley has been helping victims and witnesses for 20 years, since former District Attorney Jerry Wells put her in the position to give victims and witnesses a better way of communicating with someone about what’s happening in their cases.

With domestic violence victims, Moseley says the cases are often complicated because the victim and defendant typically know each other well.

“You try to confirm their self-worth and that they don’t deserve to be treated like that,” she said. “A lot of those victims have very low self-esteem and are too afraid to make the break, so we try to find the support they need.”

Crimes reported at South Park camp

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Members of the Occupy Lawrence group filed several police reports over the weekend and on Monday.

Jason Phoenix, a Lawrence resident and active member of the group, said that he was physically struck in the park some time after 2 a.m. Sunday. Police responded to the scene, records indicate, but the unidentified suspect had already fled.

Phoenix called the police department again Monday evening, saying he believed the suspect had returned to the park. The suspect was later identified in Douglas County Jail records as a 21-year-old Lawrence man. The suspect allegedly left the scene on a bicycle as police officers at-

tempted to speak with him, leading to a charge of attempt to elude public officials.

Capt. Jim Martin said Monday night that no charges had been filed in the case.

Martin also confirmed that someone who had been at the Occupy Lawrence camp on Monday morning reported a possible sexual assault. He said he did not believe the victim or any possible suspects were members of the group but rather were transients who stayed in one of the group’s tents Sunday night.

Though he was not present at the camp Sunday night, Phoenix said he was told of the filing of the sexual assault report. He said that witnesses had told him that two men and one woman came into the camp seeking a place to sleep and were of-

fered one of the open tents.

He said that group members were “deeply affected” by the events and were considering new measures to ensure their safety within the park, including distribution of a flier titled “Creating a safe space,” which asks participants to “refrain from engaging in activities that are not conducive to creating and maintaining a safe space.”

The group took down their tents Monday and said they intend to remain in the park overnight but no longer felt that the tents were safe.

Both investigations are still open and Martin could not confirm any more details about the alleged battery or sexual assault.

Food CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

We lack food processing businesses. The majority of the area’s licensed processors are making “gift foods” like jams, chocolates, tofu and wines. “These are things that the typical American family doesn’t depend on,” Horn said. “If a farmer were to grow a crop of potatoes or carrots for the school system, there is no one here to turn them into french fries or dippable carrot sticks for kids.”

There are 10,000 lowincome residents who do not have adequate access to healthy foods according to U.S. Department of Agriculture standards.

From the report, the council has outlined four areas it plans to focus on:

Preserve high-quality land for agriculture use.

Increase and incentivize local production and consumption of fruits, vegetables, poultry and dairy products.

Attract food processing businesses.

Establish economic development incentives for grocers who locate in lowaccess neighborhoods. In addition, support the expansion of farmers’ markets, community gardens and mobile trucks that sell produce.

While fellow board member Shannon Kimball also expressed some optimism that a bond issue could pass, at least two other board members — Bob Byers and Rick Ingram — expressed doubt that such a financial plan could succeed.

Byers, who already has voted to cut programs, boost class sizes and close Wakarusa Valley School, doesn’t see the financial picture improving anytime soon. The state likely will continue to reduce the amount of money it sends to the district, he said, forcing yet another round of difficult choices.

And he doesn’t expect voters to step up and approve spending millions of dollars to fix, upgrade or build schools, either.

“I don’t see that a bond issue is likely to pass,” he said.

Such talk about the future came Monday at the request of the board-appointed consolidation working group, whose volunteer members have until the end of January to recommend which of

sioner Nancy Thellman said she’s thrilled with the report.

“We now have a comprehensive resource for understanding our local food system, and a road map for improvements,” she said. “Anyone in our community interested in the links between agriculture and economic development, environmental protection, food security and improved health will benefit from the findings of this report.”

Among the findings:

1,040 — Douglas County farmers, down 36 percent from 1,630 in 1950.

65 percent — of Douglas County farmers claim offfarm employment as main income.

58.5 — average age of Douglas County farmer.

3,380 — farms in tricounty area, down from 5,180 in 1950.

107,102 — acres of soybeans were planted in tricounty area, which was the largest crop, followed by 83,578 of corn and 31,229 of wheat. The smallest was vegetables at 386 acres and 158 of orchards and berries.

$71 million — spent on meats in tri-county area, followed by $55 million on fruits and vegetables, $42 million on cereals and $36 million on dairy.

$2.4 million — worth of fruits and vegetables sold in tri-county area.

$53.4 million — worth of livestock sold in tri-county

area.

12,541 — hogs produced in tri-county area, but we consume 73,436.

5,672 — chickens produced in tri-county area, but we consume 6.4 million.

10 — acres of potatoes are produced in tri-county area, but we consume 1,044 acres.

2,475 — dairy cows supply milk in tri-county area, but we need 3,631 to meet demand.

83,578 — acres of corn are planted in area, but we need only 909 to meet demand for corn products.

46 — state-licensed food processors in area.

4 — farmers’ markets in area.

5,209 — low-income Lawrence residents who have to drive more than one mile for access to healthy foods.

6.77 — ounces of meat consumed per day by average American. FDA recommends 5.5 ounces.

28.7 — teaspoons of sugar consumed per day.

FDA recommends 16.7 teaspoons.

.84 — cups of fruit consumed per day. FDA recommends 2 cups.

their schools should be consolidated so that the district could reduce operational costs to offset revenue losses and perhaps finance other desired programs and needs.

The group’s members come from the communities of the six schools being considered for consolidation — Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill — plus Woodlawn, which is not a consolidation candidate.

The working group was formed near the end of the previous school year, by a school board that already has agreed to close Wakarusa Valley at the recommendation of another advisory group. That group, a task force, had met for eight months and suggested seeking a consolidation plan from the communities that would be most affected.

The thinking: If the six communities, plus Woodlawn, could come up with a single plan — one that would include fixing problems and adding classrooms at remaining schools, or even building a new school or schools — then the public could buy into a bond issue to make it happen.

Good luck, Ingram said Monday night.

Asking the group to reach consensus on which schools to close already seems “probably almost impossible,” he said, but then asking the public to approve spending millions of dollars on construction — all so that the district can wring more savings from elementary operations, perhaps without making cuts at the secondary levels — doesn’t make much sense.

“Honestly, I think a bond passing is a long shot, in the best of circumstances,” Ingram said. “And these are not the best of circumstances.”

Members of the working group meet again at 7 p.m.

Nov. 7, at district headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive.

That’s when they will be scheduled to start proposing, discussing and considering potential consolidation scenarios, ones that are to be devised in anticipation of voters approving the financing to get them all done.

That’s the plan, anyway.

“If the bond doesn’t go, then we go back to the drawing board,” said Randy Masten, a board member elected in April and who took office in July.

U.S. pulls envoy out of Syria The Obama administration has pulled its ambassador home from Syria, arguing that his support for anti-Assad activists put him in grave danger — the most dramatic action so far by the United States as it struggles to counter a Mideast autocrat who is withstanding pressure that has toppled neighboring dictators.

Syria responded quickly Monday, ordering home its envoy from Washington.

American Ambassador Robert Ford was temporarily recalled on Saturday after the U.S. received “credible threats against his personal safety in Syria,” the State Department said, pointing directly at President Bashar Assad’s government.

Ford, who already had been the subject of several incidents of intimidation, has enraged Syrian authorities with his forceful defense of anti-Assad demonstrations and his harsh critique of a government crackdown that has now claimed more than 3,000 lives.

A retired district administrator from southern California is replacing an administrator who is retiring from the Lawrence school district.

Lucy Haines Dechairo, who retired during the past school year as director of curriculum and instruction for the Carlsbad, Calif., school district, SCHOOLS starts work today as the Lawrence district’s director of administrative services.

Members of the Lawrence school board approved her hiring Monday night, on the recommendation of Rick Doll, district superintendent.

Dechairo takes over for Rick Gammill, who retired as the district’s director of special operations, safety and transportation.

The board accepted and approved Gammill’s retirement in September, with his 11 years in the district formally scheduled to end Oct. 31.

The position Dechairo is accepting includes broader responsibility, stretching into the academic side of district business.

While Gammill reported directly to the district’s chief operations officer, Dechairo also reports to Kim Bodensteiner, the district’s chief academic officer. That’s because Dechairo’s

Panetta: U.S. military at turning point The winding down of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan marks a pivot point for the U.S. military, which must now focus on looming threats such as the rising military might of China, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Monday.

Panetta used his first visit to Japan as Pentagon chief to sound an emerging theme of the Obama administration: America will remain a global economic and military power despite coming budget reductions, and the Asia-Pacific region will be central to U.S. national security strategy.

In a question-and-answer session with U.S. and Japanese troops at Yokota Air Base, Panetta ticked off a list of threats that he said demand more U.S. attention as it completes its departure from Iraq this year and targets 2014 for the withdrawal of combat forces from Afghanistan. He mentioned cyberattacks, the nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea, Mideast turmoil and “rising powers” — an allusion to China.

More pulled from rubble; death toll rises Distraught Turkish families mourned outside a mosque or sought to identify loved ones among rows of bodies Monday as rescue workers scoured debris for survivors after a 7.2-magnitude quake that killed at least 279 people.

Rescue teams with generator-powered floodlights worked into the night in the worst-hit city of Ercis, where running water and electricity were cut by the quake that rocked eastern Turkey on Sunday.

Unnerved by more than 200 aftershocks, many residents slept outside their homes, making campfires to ward off the cold, as aid organizations rushed to erect tents for the homeless.

Victims were trapped in mounds of concrete, twisted steel and construction debris after over a hundred buildings in two cities and mud-brick homes in nearby villages pancaked or partially collapsed in Sunday’s earthquake. About 80 multistory buildings collapsed in Ercis, a city of 75,000 close to the Iranian border that lies in one of Turkey’s most earthquake-prone zones.

Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said the quake killed 279 people and injured 1,300, though searchand-rescue efforts could end as early as today. Authorities said 10 of the dead were students learning about the Quran at a religious school that collapsed.

Artists to invite public into spaces for ArtWalk

Forces kill or capture 200 militants Tens of thousands of Afghan and NATO troops killed or captured 200 insurgents in eastern Afghanistan during two operations targeting the violent Haqqani network blamed for the majority of attacks in Kabul, the U.S.-led coalition said Monday.

At least 20 of the insurgents had ties to the Haqqani group, which is affiliated with al-Qaida and the Taliban, said German Brig. Gen. Carsten Jacobson, a coalition spokesman in Afghanistan. The roughly 180 others were from the Taliban or other groups, though not all have been identified.

About half of the Haqqani fighters were identified as leaders and the other half were bomb makers or individuals who help militants in various ways, such as distributing weapons and supplies, running safe houses or preparing areas for attack.

More than 50 artists are opening their homes and studios or sharing gallery space this weekend to talk about their craft as part of ArtWalk 2011.

The free tour, which is Saturday and Sunday, features artists in several mediums, including ceramics, drawing, jewelry, mixed media, painting, photography and sculpture.

“It’s an opportunity for them to show their work in their own environment, basically, apart from those (groups) who are showing their work in spaces downtown,” says director John Wysocki, who was been running

Rejected health insurance grant continues to raise questions

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s decision to reject a $31.5 million federal grant to start a health insurance exchange stirred up controversy and confusion on Monday.

Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger told legislators that the state is in danger of not meeting a crucial deadline in implementation of the exchange.

Under the federal Affordable Care Act, the exchanges are meant to provide online marketplaces where consumers can shop for health insurance and receive subsidies, if eligible.

But Praeger conceded that development of the exchanges and the entire federal health reform law could be altered by legal decisions or the outcome of next year’s

presidential and U.S. Senate elections.

“At this point, we just have to look at what is on the books today,” she told the Special Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance.

“Tomorrow this could all change,” said Rep. Brenda Landwehr, R-Wichita, who is a vocal critic of the health reform law.

Praeger said even thought that’s true, “It’s still important to stay at the table and deal with the uncertainties; otherwise it will be done to us.”

The issue of establishing a state-based exchange in Kansas was dealt a blow in August when Brownback rejected a $31.5 million “early innovator” grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Brownback, who had earlier supported the grant, rejected it, saying there were

too many strings attached to the federal funding. He said his administration would not move forward on implementing the ACA until the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled on whether the law, signed

by President Barack Obama, was constitutional.

Praeger said it is possible the court could rule on the case as early as June.

The exchanges are supposed to be in effect by 2014, and Praeger said the state was in danger of not being able to meet that deadline unless the Legislature next year agreed to move forward.

She said the federal government will implement an exchange in Kansas if the state doesn’t. Kansas would lose some flexibility if the feds put in the exchange, she said.

KANSAS BIOSCIENCE AUTHORITY

Panel advises funding for 2 centers

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

The Kansas Bioscience Authority’s investment committee recommended funding for two of the KBA’s Kansas Bioscience Centers of Innovation on Monday.

Four centers of innovation in the state focus on research and development in core technology areas, and operate as a consortium of industry, higher education and other private research organizations.

Two of the four — Heartland Plant Innovations in Manhattan and the Center of Innovation for Biomaterials in Orthopaedic Research in Wichita — received funding recommendations on Monday. The recommendations of the committee still must be approved by the KBA’s full board.

The committee recommended that HPI receive $2.5 million, half of which would be in the form of a grant and the other half in the form of a five-year loan.

There, she worked on a program that provides access to curricula for college readiness, an effort for all students and aimed specifically at student segments historically underrepresented in higher education. She also created a Summer Curriculum Institute for teachers.

Q:

With all the talk of Missouri leaving the Big 12 and KU maybe never playing the Tigers again, I was wondering what KU’s record is all-time against MU in basketball.

What’s KU’s record against MU in Allen Fieldhouse?

A:

KU leads the all-time series 171-94. KU is 4114 against MU in Allen and has won 12 in a row here.

The series, by the way, dates all the way back to 1907.

ON THE RECORD

• A judge Monday kept bond for a Lawrence robbery suspect at $100,000 after the man’s first appearance in court Monday afternoon. Charles Erwin Reed, 20, was brought to the Douglas County Jail Friday in connection with a July carjacking in west Lawrence.

Douglas County prosecutors have filed charges of aggravated battery, aggravated robbery and criminal possession of a firearm against Reed who is accused of conspiring with two other co-defendants, Denodria L. Smith, 26, of Lawrence, and Travis Brownlee, 33, to try to lure a 28-year-old Lawrence man on July 23 to the 2500 block of Winterbrook Drive so they could rob him. Lawrence police said the man alleged he was held at gunpoint, struck in the head and that his car was stolen.

Police in August arrested Smith in the Dallas area, and as of Monday Brownlee was not yet in custody in Douglas County. Reed is next scheduled to appear in court today.

• A 63-year-old Wichita man was arrested Saturday afternoon on suspicion of drunken driving after he ran over a female Kansas University student’s foot in the parking lot directly east of Memorial Stadium. Capt. Schuyler Bailey, a KU police spokesman, said Casey Cox, 21, was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

The driver, George Lawrence Sevick, was taken to the Douglas County Jail, posted $500 bond and was given notice to appear at 1 p.m. Nov. 2 in Lawrence Municipal Court on one count of operating a vehicle under the influence, according to jail records. The accident occurred at 3:05 p.m. after KU lost to Kansas State University in the Sunflower Showdown.

LMH spokeswoman Belinda Rehmer said Cox was treated and released from the hospital.

INJURY ACCIDENTS • A 23-year-old Lawrence man was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital after he crashed his vehicle and ran from sheriff’s deputies early Saturday morning north of Lawrence, a Douglas County Sheriff’s spokesman said.

Sgt. Steve Lewis said Dustin Barnes, 23, was driving his 1995 Ford Explorer at 1:40 a.m.

Saturday north on U.S. Highway 24-59 near the intersection with U.S. Highway 24-40 when he crossed the center line, entered the ditch and struck a culvert.

The vehicle came to rest against a chain-link fence. Lewis said Barnes ran from the scene, but deputies later detained him. He was taken to LMH, but his injuries were not life-threatening.

Lewis said officers expect to cite Barnes with DUI, transport-

ing an open container, no valid insurance and driving without a valid license. Investigators drew blood from Barnes for an impairment test at the hospital, and officers also suspect use of a cellphone contributed to the accident, Lewis said.

• A 53-year-old Lawrence woman was taken to an Overland Park hospital Monday morning after she was involved in a two-vehicle accident on Interstate 435 near Lackman Road, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

The accident report said Rebecca L. Clothier suffered a possible injury when a semitrailer, driven by Walter D. Sutton, 62, of Kansas City, Mo., struck Clothier’s 2009 Toyota Corolla. The crash occurred while traffic was stopped about 8:15 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 435, a half-mile west of Lackman Road.

Sutton also suffered possible injuries, and both drivers wore their seat belts. Clothier was taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center.

Another accident occurred to the west about 90 minutes later.

According to a KHP report, Katherine Reeder, 42, of Drexel, Mo., was in the eastbound lanes of Kansas Highway 10 just east of Cedar Creek Parkway when she tried to change into the right lane and struck a 1990 Ford Escort driven by a 27-yearold Clearview City man. The Escort spun around, entered the grassy median and rolled over before coming to rest on its wheels.

The car’s driver, Richard Lee Treas III, was wearing his seat belt and was taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center.

Reeder, who also wore a seat belt, was not injured.

• A 19-year-old Kansas City, Kan., man was taken to an area hospital following a rollover accident Friday near Tonganoxie in which he was ejected from the vehicle.

Christopher A. Burch was driving a 2001 Toyota Camry Solara north on U.S. Highway 24-40 when his vehicle left the road and entered the ditch, according to Leavenworth County Sheriff’s office reports.

Burch’s vehicle hit the bottom of the ditch sideways and rolled twice before coming to rest on its top. Burch was ejected through the back window of the vehicle and landed with his left leg under the roof of the vehicle.

Burch was taken to KU Hospital

by Leavenworth County Emergency Medical Services, reports said.

As of Monday evening, Burch was not listed as a patient, a hospital official there said.

The accident occurred about a mile south of Tonganoxie.

“What is Governor Brownback’s fascination with the Lone Star State?” Johnston said at the time. “Texas has the highest number of adults without a high school diploma, a poverty rate of almost 20 percent and the highest number of uninsured residents. That’s without mentioning what Texas has done to the Big 12. The last thing Kansas should strive for is to be more like Texas,” he said.

After Monday’s GOP release, Johnston responded, saying, “It’s too bad the Kansas Republican Party feels the need to distort a private, purely nonpolitical decision I made with my family.

Libyan leader seeks to calm West on Sharia fears

By Hamza Hendawi and Kim Gamel Associated Press

TRIPOLI, LIBYA — After giving a speech that emphasized the Islamization of Libya, the head of the transitional government on Monday tried to reassure the Western powers who helped topple Moammar Gadhafi that the country’s new leaders are moderate Muslims.

Just as in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt, Islamists have emerged from yet another Arab Spring uprising as the most powerful group in the country. How far they will go will be decided at the ballot box — in Tunisia this week, in Egypt in November and in Libya within eight months.

National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil said Sunday that Islamic Sharia law would be the main source of legislation, that laws contradicting its tenets would be nullified, and that polygamy would be legalized.

“I would like to assure the international community that we as Libyans are moderate Muslims,” said Abdul-Jalil, who added that he was dismayed by the focus abroad on his comments Sunday on polygamy. A State Department

spokeswoman said the U.S. was encouraged that he had clarified his earlier statement.

The stir created by AbdulJalil’s address in Benghazi, the eastern Libyan city where the anti-Gadhafi uprising was born in mid-February, came as international pressure mounted on him to investigate the circumstances of Gadhafi’s death.

Abdul-Jalil ordered an inquiry to establish whether the deposed Libyan leader was killed in an execution-style slaying after being captured alive Thursday by fighters in his hometown of Sirte or whether he died in the crossfire as government officials have suggested.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland reiterated U.S. support for a full

investigation but said “it’s now time for Libya to move on.” She endorsed the NTC’s proposed timeline for next steps in the democratic transition, and said Libyans “with no blood on their hands” must be ensured “a place in the new Libya, and that they are safe and they are included.”

She also called a Human Rights Watch report that dozens of Gadhafi supporters were found dead with bullet wounds in the back of the head and their hands tied, “extremely disturbing.” She said U.S. Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz raised Washington’s concerns with the council and asked them to conduct another investigation.

Gadhafi’s body went on public display since Friday in

Tunisia’s Islamist party claims victory TUNIS, TUNISIA — A moderate Islamist party claimed victory Monday in Tunisia’s landmark elections as preliminary results indicated it had won the biggest share of votes, assuring it will have a strong say in the future constitution of the country whose popular revolution led to the Arab Spring.

The Ennahda party’s success could boost other Islamist parties in the North Africa and the Middle East, although Ennahda insists its approach to sharia, or Islamic law, is consistent with Tunisia’s progressive traditions, especially in regards to women’s rights. a commercial refrigerator in the port city of Misrata, where residents lined up to see it.

Ibrahim Beit al-Mal, a spokesman for the fighters, said he expected that the bodies of Gadhafi, his slain son Muatassim and former Defense Minister Abu Bakr Younis would be buried today in an unmarked grave in a secret location.

Doctors divided on using in-depth cholesterol tests WASHINGTON (AP) — For heart health, you’re supposed to know your numbers: Total cholesterol, the bad LDL kind and the good HDL kind. But your next checkup might add a new number to the mix.

More doctors are going beyond standard cholesterol counts, using another test to take a closer look at the bad fats — a count of particles that carry LDL through the blood.

Cardiologists are divided over the usefulness of that approach. Proponents contend it might help them spot at-risk patients that regular checks might miss, or get more information about how aggressively to treat them.

But so far, guidelines from major heart organizations don’t recommend these extra tests. They’re pricier than regular cholesterol exams, although Medicare and many other insurers pay for them.

And it’s not always clear what the results mean.

“I see a lot of people being confused,” says Dr. Nieca Goldberg of New York University Langone Medical Center and the American Heart Association. Especially when they’re used on lowerrisk people, “you don’t know how to make sense of the information.”

Yet up to half of patients diagnosed with heart disease apparently had normal levels of LDL cholesterol, and some doctors say particle testing might help find some of them sooner.

“For most people, the standard lipid profile is fine,” says Dr. Michael Davidson of the University of Chicago.

But “I get referred people who said, ‘My cholesterol was fine, why do I have heart disease?’ We’re showing them, well, because your particle number’s sky high, and they were not aware that was a problem.”

Davidson was chairman of

a committee of the National Lipid Association which this month called the extra tests reasonable to assess which at-risk patients might need to start or intensify cholesterol treatment. That committee’s meeting was paid for by a grant from eight pharmaceutical companies, including some makers of particle tests.

Cholesterol isn’t the only factor behind heart disease.

High blood pressure, smoking, obesity, diabetes or a strong family history of the disease can put someone in the highrisk category even if their cholesterol isn’t a red flag. Some doctors also are testing for inflammation in arteries that may play a role, too.

On the cholesterol front, doctors have long focused on three key numbers:

Total cholesterol should be below 200.

An LDL or “bad” cholesterol level below 130 is good for healthy people, but some-

one with heart disease or diabetes should aim for under 100.

For HDL , the “good” cholesterol that helps control the bad kind, higher numbers are better — 60 is protective while below 40 is a risk.

Where do particles come in? Scientists also have long known that small, dense LDL particles sneak into the artery wall to build up and narrow blood vessels more easily than larger, fluffier particles. While overall LDL levels usually correlate with the amount of particles in blood, they don’t always, just as a beach bucket of sand may weigh the same as a bucket of pebbles but contain more particles.

Only in recent years have commercial tests made particle checks more feasible — although there’s no standard method, and different tests measure in different ways. The tests add another $100 to $150 to regular cholesterol checks.

Retailers begin price wars for the holidays

By Anne D’innocenzio Associated Press

NEW YORK — Forget style, quality and customer service.

This holiday season, all that matters is price.

A week before Halloween and two full months before Christmas, stores are desperately trying to outdo each other in hopes of drawing in customers worn down by the economy.

Wal-Mart, the biggest store in the nation, joined the price wars Monday by announcing that it would give gift cards to shoppers if they buy something there and find it somewhere else cheaper.

Staples and Bed Bath & Beyond have already said they will match the lowest prices of Amazon.com and other big Internet retailers. Sears is going a step further, offering to beat a competitor’s best price by 10 percent.

“The days of marketing the stuff in your store because it was a hot brand are over,” says Dave Ratner, owner of Dave’s Soda & Pet City, a Massachusetts pet food and supplies chain.

For the holidays, Ratner plans to offer 20 percent off pet accessories if customers buy a bag of dog food. Customers, he says, just want a deal.

Almost four years after the onset of the Great Recession, they’ve learned to expect one, too. In better times, retailers could afford to keep prices higher and use promises of higher quality and better service to lure people into stores.

Those days are over. In a re-

cent poll of 1,000 shoppers by America’s Research Group, 78 percent said they were more driven by sales than they were a year ago. During the financial meltdown in 2008, that figure was only 68 percent.

Wal-Mart last year went back to its “everyday low prices” roots, a bedrock philosophy of founder Sam Walton, rather than slashing prices only on certain items to draw in customers. Now everyday low prices might not be low enough.

So it’s trying something it is calling the Christmas Price Guarantee. It works this way: If you buy something at WalMart from Nov. 1 to Dec. 25 and find the identical product elsewhere for less, you get a gift card in the amount of the difference.

The deal excludes online prices and some categories of merchandise — groceries, live plants, tobacco, prescription drugs and wireless devices that require a service agreement.

Toys R Us’ big book of holiday offers will be packed this year with $8,000 of savings, compared with $5,600 last year, said Bob Friedland, a company spokesman. And it has added an incentive this year: If customers who sign up for its loyalty program spend $200 or more during the holiday season, they will get coupons on toys every month next year.

Retailers are responding to a customer base that is better informed, and more comfortable shopping online, than ever.

United, Continental and Delta added up to $5 each way to ticket prices for many flights within the U.S. It’s the second hike in a week after more than two months when base fares were largely unchanged.

Airlines have tried to raise prices about 20 times this year, and about half the hikes have stuck. Airlines often roll back price increases if key competitors don’t match them.

Stalled IPO market likely means less job growth

By Matthew Craft Associated Press

NEW YORK — Two companies with quirky names, Ubiquiti Networks and Zeltiq Aesthetics, made their public debuts earlier this month with listings on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Each company’s stock went up modestly on the first day of trading.

Ubiquiti pocketed $106 million for the day, and Zeltiq made $91 million. They were the most successful stock debuts of the past two months.

Then again, they were the only stock debuts of the past two months.

The market for initial public offerings, or IPOs, is suffering through a drought of Texas proportions. Companies thinking of going public are deciding it’s just too risky.

The stock market lost nearly 20 percent of its value in a month this past summer.

Swings of 200 points for the Dow Jones industrial average continue to be commonplace.

Getting the timing wrong for a coming-out party can mean missing out on millions of dollars.

A dried-up IPO market matters because stock debuts

aren’t just a chance for tech whizzes to become overnight billionaires and ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange. Companies use the cash they raise to grow — and that means hiring people.

And at a time when 14 million Americans are looking for work, and the unemployment rate has been stuck near 9 percent for two years, the last thing the economy needs is for one engine of hiring to stall.

There are 215 companies waiting to go public. They’ve filed the necessary paperwork and lined up bankers, and are just holding out for the right time to unleash their stock. The waiting list is the longest since 2001, according to Renaissance Capital, an investment advice firm.

LogMeIn, a Massachusetts software company, went public in July 2009, raised $107 million and harnessed the cash to hire people.

Within two years, its work force grew by a third, to 432 people. Without the IPO, the company might have added only 10 percent to its work force, says Jim Kelliher, the chief financial officer.

“It’s cash to expand your business,” he says.

Even as retirees are finding ways to get involved in the community, community organizations are becoming better at helping retirees.

Ten years ago, there were dozens of organizations serving senior citizens, but they were largely unaware of what each group was doing.

This led to overlap in services, as well as seniors being less aware of what was out there for them.

Now businesses and organizations meet monthly through a coalition called Lawrence Area Partners in Aging.

“That connection of finding out what is going on in town is a big part of being able to help someone,” said Pattie Johnston, who coordinates senior outreach at the Lawrence Public Library.

BOOMER STUDY

Nine Kansas University students have been named as Boomer Futures Fellows and will receive a $1,000 scholarship for the upcoming year.

The nine students participated in an interdisciplinary colloquium on issues facing the baby boomer generation at KU this spring. They will be encouraged to continue their work on a range of topics. The colloquium focused on housing, community, finance, real estate, law, health care, the environment, social justice, and the social, political and cultural dimensions of aging.

affect older adults in every arena,” Chapin said.

Making sure middle-income seniors can afford services could also be key to making Lawrence more retirement friendly.

Right now, the poorest seniors are able to receive government assistance, and the wealthiest can afford services in their own right, said Rebecca Holmes, Project LIVELY coordinator for Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department.

“There’s that middle range that are caught paying full price for everything,” said Holmes. “They have a hard time accessing the things they need.”

One solution would be to offer services on a sliding scale based on income or allowing seniors to pay for only what they use, Holmes said.

Though the retirees interviewed for this series said they were pleased with Lawrence’s medical offerings, the city — like the rest of the country — will face a serious shortage of primary care doctors as baby boomers age.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital estimates in 2016, the city will need an additional 10 internal medicine physicians and seven family practitioners.

In the last three years, Lawrence has recruited just one internal medicine physician, said hospital CEO Gene Meyer. It’s a testament to the difficulties most cities have in recruiting physicians when doctors may have 10 to 15 job offers after completing their training.

Competing towns say that could make places with more medical facilities attractive to retirees.

“You’ve got a great hospital in Lawrence, but the health care doesn’t come close to Columbia’s,” said Don Laird, president of the Columbia, Mo., Chamber of Commerce.

Laird said Columbia’s 800 physicians and half-dozen hospitals have been a key part of the city’s efforts to recruit seniors.

Meyer said the Lawrence medical community knows the challenges and wants to meet them. And there is reason to be excited: more jobs.

“There will be a wide range, from primary care, quality health care from the hospital, and home services,” Meyer said.

Gadt, who is in his late 60s, believes the retirement he and his friends at New Generation are enjoying is a new phenomenon. His father didn’t stop working until he had a stroke at 82. His aunts and uncles also never retired.

They just worked until they couldn’t work anymore.

Gadt and his wife retired young enough to enjoy a second life after work. To them, Lawrence deserves the accolades it has received in national media as a best place to retire.

“There’s a lot that would draw people here,” said his wife, Jacqueline Gadt. “Lawrence is a great town, and New Generation keeps us busy, active and learning.”

Obama offers mortgage relief

By Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — President Barack Obama offered mortgage relief on Monday to hundreds of thousands of Americans, his latest attempt to ease the economic and political fallout of a housing crisis that has bedeviled him as he seeks a second term.

“I’m here to say that we can’t wait for an increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job,” the president declared outside a family home in Las Vegas, the epicenter of foreclosures and joblessness.

“Where they won’t act, I will.”

Making a case for his policies and a new effort to circumvent roadblocks put up

by Republican lawmakers, Obama also laid out a theme for his re-election, saying that there’s “no excuse for all the games and the gridlock that we’ve been seeing in Washington.”

“People out here don’t have a lot of time or a lot of patience for some of that nonsense that’s been going on in Washington,” he said.

The new rules for federally

guaranteed loans represent a recognition that measures the administration has taken so far on housing have not “I’m here to say worked as that we can’t wait well as ex- for an increasingly dysfunctional pected.

His jobs Congress to do bill strug- its job. Where gling in they won’t act, I C o n g r e s s , will.”

Obama tried — President a new catch- Barack Obama phrase — “We can’t wait” — to highlight his administrative initiatives and to shift blame to congressional Republicans for lack of action to boost employment and stimulate an economic recovery.

Later in the week, Obama plans to announce measures to make it easier for college graduates to pay back federal loans. Such executive action allows Obama to address economic ills and other domestic challenges in spite of Republican opposition to

most of his proposals.

While Obama has proposed prodding the economy with payroll tax cuts and increased spending on public works and aid to states, he has yet to offer a wholesale overhaul of the nation’s housing programs. Economists point to the burst housing bubble as the main culprit behind the 2008 financial crisis.

Meanwhile, the combination of unemployment, depressed wages and mortgages that exceed house values has continued to put a strain on the economy.

While the White House tried to avoid predicting how many homeowners would benefit from the revamped refinancing program, the Federal Housing Finance Administration estimated an additional 1 million people would qualify. Moody’s Analytics says the figure could be as high as 1.6 million.

Under Obama’s proposal, homeowners who are still current on their mortgages would be able to refinance no matter how much their home value has dropped below what they still owe.

Assange: WikiLeaks may soon collapse LONDON (AP) — WikiLeaks — whose spectacular publication of classified data shook world capitals and exposed the inner workings of international diplomacy — may be weeks away from collapse, the organization’s leader said Monday.

Although its attentiongrabbing leaks spread outrage and embarrassment across military and diplomatic circles, WikiLeaks’ inability to overturn the block on donations imposed by American financial companies may prove its undoing.

“If WikiLeaks does not find a way to remove this blockade we will simply not be able to continue by the turn of the new year,” founder Julian Assange told journalists at London’s Frontline Club. “If we don’t knock down the blockade, we simply will not be able to continue.”

As an emergency measure, Assange said his group would cease what he called “publication operations” to focus its energy on fundraising. He added that WikiLeaks, which he said had about 20 employees, needs an additional $3.5 million to keep it going into 2013.

Report shows losses in government jobs choking economic recovery

WASHINGTON — Conservative Republicans have long clamored for government downsizing. They’re starting to get it — by default.

Crippled by plunging tax revenues, state and local governments have shed over a half million jobs since the recession began in December 2007. And, after adding jobs early in the downturn, the federal government is now cutting them as well.

States cut 49,000 jobs over the past year and localities 210,000, according to an analysis of Labor Department statistics. There are 30,000 fewer federal workers now than a year ago — including 5,300 Postal Service jobs canceled last month.

By contrast, private-sector jobs have increased by 1.6 million over the past 12 months. But the state, local and federal job losses have become a drag on efforts to nudge the nation’s unemployment rate down from its painfully high 9.1 percent.

The economy has been expanding, at least modestly, since the middle of 2009.

And state and local governments are usually engines of job growth during recoveries. But not now, said economist Heidi Shierholz of the labor-aligned Economic Policy Institute.

“The public sector didn’t start to lose jobs right away.

But then it did as the budget crunch really hit. State governments are not allowed to run deficits. So the private sector is expanding while the public sector is shedding jobs — to the tune of 35,000 jobs a month,” she said.

President Barack Obama sought to ease the crunch by

including $35 billion to prevent layoffs of police, firefighters and teachers in his $447 billion jobs package. But that big bill hit a GOP wall in Congress.

Efforts to pass what Obama called “bite-sized pieces” of the big bill have stalled, too.

Republicans don’t want to swallow them, regardless the serving size. Senate Republicans blocked the $35 billion installment late last week when Democratic leaders called it up as stand-alone legislation.

The dynamic is already reverberating through the gathering presidential campaign cycle, with Republicans making an issue out what they depict as Obama’s inability to turn the economy around.

This has been driven home in every one of the frequent Republican presidential debates, and is certain to be-

come even more intense as the GOP field narrows. The weak economy is a main factor in Obama’s current approval ratings, the lowest of his presidency.

No sitting president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936 and 1940 has been elected with the unemployment rate as high as it stands today — hovering near or above 9 percent for more than two years.

In 1936, the rate was 17 percent and in 1940, 15 percent, but then it was on a downward trend from over 24 percent earlier in the Great Depression.

Ronald Reagan’s durable 1980 campaign slogan that government “is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem” is a cherished GOP refrain. Most recently, it’s been echoed in tea party calls for smaller government.

State responsibility

Face it, Republicans, Mitt’s your man

By Dick Polman The Philadelphia Inquirer

Legislators from across the state need to support a budget that affirms the state’s responsibility to fund SRS services rather than handing them off to local taxpayers.

I

t was welcome news to five Kansas communities that the state Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services would include funding for their local SRS offices in its budget proposal for next year.

However, that is just the first step to funds actually being allocated to keep those offices open.

Last summer, SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. announced that mandated cuts in his department’s budget would require nine local SRS offices across the state to be closed. Subsequently, five of those communities, including Lawrence, were able to reach agreements to save their local offices by agreeing to pick up a substantial portion of the operating costs for those offices.

Those agreements came with a pledge from Siedlecki that he would make a “goodfaith effort” to restore funding for the local offices. Although many residents and officials thought that effort would be made for the next fiscal year, Siedlecki said earlier this month he didn’t plan to pursue those funds until 2013, when the two-year agreements with the cities and counties expired. After local officials expressed dismay at that strategy, the SRS chief agreed to include the funding in his budget request for the fiscal year that begins on July 1, 2012.

As noted above, that is the first step. Now it is up to state legislators to follow through and make sure this funding is approved.

This is not just about Lawrence. Officials in Fort Scott, McPherson, Pratt and Marysville also were backed into a corner and had to make quick decisions to commit local tax money to preserve their SRS offices. Spending local tax money to maintain an essential state service in their communities provided a short-term solution, but it should not set a long-term policy for the state.

Certainly in Lawrence, and probably in the other four communities, local officials are willing to start working immediately with state SRS officials to try to reduce the costs of operating their local offices. With good communication and adequate lead time, those efforts can forge a positive partnership between state and local officials.

To set the stage for that partnership, however, legislators must affirm that SRS services are a state responsibility that shouldn’t be handed off selectively to local taxpayers. The legislators from the five affected communities can’t do this alone. They need the support of other legislators throughout the state who understand the importance of setting this important funding precedent not only for the state but also for their taxpaying constituents at home.

Memo to Republicans: If you don’t nominate Mitt Romney, you’re nuts.

I’m serious here. You should quit your futile quest for the elusively perfect candidate and focus on the guy right under your nose. If beating President Barack Obama is indeed your abiding priority, then, love him or not, Mitt’s your man.

Granted, the guy is a tad tough to love. He looks as though he were the kind of kid who showed up for sixth grade with a briefcase. He looks as though he were assembled in a computer lab by Steve Jobs’ minions. He looks like a cross between the Dudley Do-Right cartoon character and Guy Smiley from “Sesame Street. He looks like those chamber of commerce guys who have anchors on their ties.

And yes, I’m aware that even after six years of campaigning, Romney has garnered only 25 percent support within your party. I get it that you don’t want to eat your peas and embrace a serial flip-flopper whose renunciations of past liberal stances may or may not be sincere.

All the conservative litmus tests can’t mask one fundamental fact that your party ignores at its peril: Romney is eminently electable. You want to win, don’t you?

I’ll concede that his electoral track record is less than stellar.

Romney boasts that he’s “not

“

Seriously, Republicans, do you really think you have a prayer in 2012 with any nonRomney nominee?

a career politician,” but that’s true largely because he has been thwarted in that career. He lost 16 Republican primaries in 2008. He lost a 1994 Senate race. He won the Massachusetts gubernatorial race in 2002 (his only electoral win) but said no to a second race in 2006 when the polls looked bad. It was tough being a Republican in a blue state, but, as a technocrat trained in the financial sector, he wasn’t exactly Bill Clinton on the stump.

Nevertheless, among all the current Republican candidates, Romney matches up best against Obama in the swing states. Ed Rendell reportedly remarked the other day, “If it was ObamaRomney right now, it would be tough for the president to carry Pennsylvania,” and you should heed that remark, because Ed is known for ticking off fellow Democrats with his candor.

But your party brethren are already hip to Romney’s electability. The latest CNN-ORC poll reports that a strong plurality of Republicans — 41 percent — cite Romney as the candidate most likely to beat Obama. Herman Cain is a distant second.

Rick Perry is a distant third.

Which prompts me to write a few words about Romney’s rivals. Hopefully, while doing so, I can keep a straight face.

Seriously, Republicans, do you really think you have a prayer in 2012 with any non-Romney nominee? Commentator Joe Scarborough, the ex-Florida Republican congressman, probably put it best last week when he said the GOP race is “cluttered with clownish characters.” For instance, Cain’s metier is pepperoni, not policy.

Perry scares swing voters and talks as though he were just kicked in the head by a horse. Newt Gingrich’s political power peaked in 1995. Michele Bachmann keeps the fact-checkers busy whenever she opens her mouth. Rick “Hey, When Do I Get My Boomlet?” Santorum has parlayed his 18-point Senate defeat in 2006 into 1 percent support in 2011.

Back when many conservatives played the birther game, insisting that Obama was born wherever, Romney never joined in. When Perry denounced Social Security as a con job and “monstrous lie,” Romney defended the safety net. When your House Republicans passed a bill (dead on arrival) that aspired to wipe out the popular Medicare guarantee for future seniors, Romney avoided it like the plague. And despite all the antipathy toward the ‘08 Wall Street bailout, Romney says it’s important to recognize reality; as he remarked in a recent de-

bate, “we could have had a complete meltdown of our entire financial system, wiping out all the savings of the American people. So action had to be taken.”

I know that centrism isn’t sexy, but national elections are won in the center. If Obama is really the liberal ideologue you say he is, Republicans, that means the center is vacant and winnable — but only if you learn to love the only candidate who can put you there.

I know you’re still hooked on finding a nonexistent miracle candidate, someone who combines electability with purist conservative ideology, but centrist swing voters don’t care about ideology.

They want a rational problemsolver. That’s how Romney was trained. The traits that turn you off now would likely serve him well in a general election.

In the end, you’d probably judge him, on the purity scale, to be a less-than-ideal president, but, hey, welcome to the art of compromise. If compromise was good enough for the Founding Fathers, it should be good enough for you.

And frankly, if Obama goes down next year, Romney easily trumps his rivals as the best alternative for America.

So there’s your slogan: VOTE MITT. YOU COULD DO WORSE. It doesn’t quicken the pulse, I admit. But it does have the ring of truth.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 29, 1911: “There are certain places in Lawrence that may find they are going to be YEARS prosecuted if they don’t abolish their AGO roller towels and quickly. These placIN 1911 es referred to are said to be certain restaurants and other places where things to eat are dispensed. Not long ago on one of his regular trips here Dr. S. J. Crumbine discovered that in spite of the law roller towels were being used in Lawrence. He immediately notified the proprietors of these places that they must abolish the old towels and comply with the law.... The Kansas law is very strict in regard to towels that are used by everyone and Dr. Crumbine has announced emphatically that he is going to enforce the law.”

Obama support driven by racism At the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston, Sen. Barack Obama said, “There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America — there is the United States of America.”

Those were welcome and commendable words. Unfortunately, they appear to be only words.

Since then, Obama has divided us along race and class lines more than any modern president.

Some of his strongest, highprofile supporters in the black community are now saying that Obama’s race, alone, should be enough for black voters to vote for his re-election.

Krissah Thompson of The Washington Post reports that on “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” which has an estimated 8 million radio listeners, Joyner, who is black, said, “Stick together, black people.” The show reaches one in four African-American adults.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who also has a radio show and a gig on MSNBC, admonished blacks who have been critical of the president, “I’m not telling you to shut up. I’m telling you: Don’t make some of us have to speak up.”

The attempt at poetry is getting tiresome, Al. Why don’t you leave that to Jesse Jackson?

Joyner went even further on his blog, writes Thompson: “Let’s not deal with the facts right now,” he said. “Let’s deal with just our blackness and pride — and loyalty. We have the chance to re-elect the first African-American president, and that’s what we ought to be doing.

And I’m not afraid or ashamed to say that as black people, we should

If a black president cannot be held accountable for his policies and must receive the votes of African-Americans solely because of his race, then all of the marching for equal rights has been for nothing. do it because he’s a black man.”

Try that in football. Never mind that the black quarterback continues to throw interceptions or drop the ball, keep him in the game simply because he’s black.

If that happened, he’d be booed until the coach pulled him off the field, and those boos wouldn’t just be coming from whites.

In the same week the memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was dedicated in Washington, Joyner and Sharpton are saying that Barack Obama should be judged not on the content of his character and policies, but rather on the color of his skin. How sad. How racist.

If a black president cannot be held accountable for his policies and must receive the votes of African-Americans solely because of his race, then all of the march-

ing for equal rights has been for nothing. The question ought to be this: Are African-Americans, indeed, are all Americans, better off than they were when Barack Obama took office? By any objective standard, the answer must be “no.” How do black people expect their circumstances to improve if Obama is elected for another four years? If they conclude they will not, why not vote for someone who can create the conditions under which more of them might get a job, for example? Black unemployment is 16.7 percent, the highest it’s been in 27 years.

Recent Washington Post-ABC News polls reveal a decline in the number of blacks with “strongly favorable” views of the president and his efforts to improve the economy. What people like Joyner and Sharpton fear is a loss of a place at the political table, a table that has been set far more elegantly for them than for too many of the African-Americans for whom they claim to speak.

What the slide in Obama’s support in the African-American community demonstrates is that increasing numbers of black people are beginning to understand they have been played for suckers by the Democratic Party. They are right to feel this way. Their loyalty should not be to a party, but to themselves, their families and their best interests, which lie outside a welfare system that has locked too many of them into dependence and an addiction to a government check. What they need instead is a reality check.

To the editor: I recently read an article in the Lawrence JournalWorld about residents camping out overnight to receive free services from the Douglas County Dental Clinic. It would be hard to believe that such drastic measures must be taken for people to see a dentist if it wasn’t something I’ve experienced myself.

Up until about a year ago, I couldn’t afford the dentist. So when I finally had to go in for an emergency crown, I faced a $1,500 bill that I had to pay out of pocket. I didn’t have that kind of money on hand, so I was forced to open a new credit card. Luckily, I was able to pay off the card within a year.

I can’t help but think that there’s a better solution out there. Why should hard-working people go without basic, preventative dental care simply because of cost? Why should they have to live in pain? Why should our friends and neighbors be forced to sleep outdoors so they can be first in line in the morning to get help?

I’ve seen momentum building for mid-level dental workers, who would work alongside dentists like nurse practitioners work in tandem with medical doctors. I think this is a fantastic opportunity for dentists and patients alike. These mid-level providers would especially help places like Douglas County Dental Clinic, allowing them to offer even more free or reduced-fee services to Kansans.

I ask our lawmakers to support mid-level dental providers and to help bring them to our state.

Elizabeth A. Sheils, Lawrence

Protest support To the editor: We should applaud the people in the park, not evict them! They are representing all of us who care about what’s happened to our democracy, to our elections being bought, to the ever-widening gap between the rich and the rest of us, to the people who have lost their homes or lost their jobs or can no longer afford their schooling. Our city government should not enforce laws that abridge their right to peaceably assemble! They stand there for us all!

Group urges end to income tax TOPEKA (AP) — A newly formed group is urging Kansas lawmakers to abolish the state income tax during the next legislative session.

Ashley McMillan is president of Kansans for No Income Tax. McMillan, who’s also the former executive director of the Kansas Republican Party, said in a news release Monday the group already has 200 members and hopes to sign up more than 2,000 by the end of the year.

A proposal during this year’s legislative session would have phased out the state income tax. Republican Gov. Sam Brownback is considering a tax overhaul package that is likely to reduce income tax rates for businesses and individuals.

Kansans for No Income Tax is planning a bus tour in November to build support for its cause.

AIDS Wolf Canadian noise-rockers AIDS Wolf really push the concept of song and music to their respective breaking points, by constructing music that is, in their own words, “challenging.” And considering AIDS Wolf songs rarely feature any of the elements — melody, tempo or harmony — associated with conventional songwriting, that’s a bit of an understatement. Still, there’s something deeply cathartic and oddly childlike about the Montreal band; they make an outstanding racket, and it’s hard not to vicariously live through that, assuming you’re not expecting anything bordering on traditional.

Robinson must be ‘main course’ for KU ——

Self says junior must step up if Jayhawks are to get just desserts

KANSAS FOOTBALL

TEXAS COACH MACK BROWN SAYS the Longhorns will have no trouble maintaining focus with Kansas coming to town.

Longhorns vow not to relive last year’s stunning loss to ISU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Speaking just before lunchtime, Bill Self had food on his mind when asked about his expectations for CBSsports.com preseason All-American Thomas Robinson this season.

“He’s been the icing, so to speak. He’s been the dessert.

Now he’s got to be the main course,” Self, Kansas University’s basketball coach, said of the 6-foot-10, 237-pound Washington, D.C., power forward who averaged 7.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in just 14.6 minutes per game his sophomore season.

“That was Robinson actually a decent food analogy,” Self added, laughing.

Robinson — he averaged 2.5 points, 2.7 boards and 7.2 minutes his freshman campaign — realizes he’s capable of bringing more to the table.

“I’m going to expand my game,” Robinson said of his offensive repertoire including jumpers from the outside as well as an assortment of dunks, layups and jump hooks in the paint.

“I am not going to fall in love with it,” he added of shots as far out as the three-point line, “but give people a sneak peek now and then. I have the ability to do that. Expanding my game makes me harder to guard. I know my bread and butter is in the paint.

That’s where I’ll be, but don’t be surprised if I do that some.”

Robinson worked on improving his inside moves with assistant coach Danny Manning this past offseason.

“One of my main reasons for coming back (and not turning pro) was to spend more time with Danny,” Robinson said. “He gives me a list of moves I can do. There’s a lot more stuff he’s teaching me now that he wouldn’t have told me as a freshman.”

Self is all for Robinson moving away from the basket on occasion.

“Thomas has improved his stroke. There’s no question about that,” Self said. “I have not come up with a rule we’ll have for him. Take Russell Robinson ... we knew he was going to

During his 28 seasons as a college football head coach, University of Texas’ Mack Brown has won 223 contests, 11 bowl games and one national championship.

Still, it’s a little advice from his wife, Sally, that helps Brown enter even the most favorable match-ups with a dose of caution.

“My wife has a saying,” Brown said Monday on the Big 12 coaches teleconference. “She knew nothing about football, and we got married, and she’s been around a long time, and she says, ‘About the time someone says, ‘That absolutely cannot happen,’ that’s when it happens.’”

The phrase used to make Brown chuckle, but then came last year’s match-up with Iowa State in Austin, Texas, and the outcome changed the UT coach’s outlook.

“Everybody talked about how Iowa State was struggling because they lost to Utah in the 60s and lost to Oklahoma in the 50s,” Brown said of last year’s shocking 28-21 home loss to the 3-4 Cyclones. “Those two teams were really good last year, and then Iowa State came in here and thumped us.”

The loss to the Cyclones set off a string of four straight setbacks, and Texas, which dropped five of its final six games in 2010, finished 5-7 and sat home during bowl season.

With UT (4-2 overall, 1-2 Big 12) entering this week as a 28-point favorite against Kansas University (2-5, 0-4), Brown vowed to remember the lesson he learned from the loss to Iowa State and made sure to emphasize that his players would be ready for the Jayhawks.

“Kids sit around all week, and they listen to fans, and they listen to the media and when people are talking about the other team not having a chance to win or you start talking about a game down the road instead of the one you’re playing that week, it is a very, very dangerous thing,” Brown said. “And that’s why coaches get so paranoid about games each week. All of us have been in one of (Iowa State scenarios). When you’ve been in one, that’s enough. That’ll keep your attention for the rest of them.”

While Brown compared this week’s match-up with Kansas to last year’s letdown against Iowa State, he quickly showed he had more than that reason to be ready for the Jayhawks.

“They’ve played maybe the toughest schedule in the country to this point,” Brown said. “And I don’t think people have talked enough about that.”

Brown also praised all facets of KU’s offense.

“They’ve got a good offensive line,” he said.

“They’re big and strong, and they can run the Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

Missouri hasn’t left for SEC — yet

Napoli helps Rangers take 3-2 Series lead ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — A long drive by Mike Napoli, a lucky bounce and a bullpen mix-up. A most weird recipe put the Texas Rangers on the brink of their first World Series championship.

Napoli delivered the biggest hit of his charmed season, lining a tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth inning that sent the Rangers past the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-2, on Monday night for a 3-2 edge.

“We’re a focused group,” Texas star Michael Young said.

“We’re hungry. We’re looking forward to Game 6. We’ve already been to their park so we know what to expect.”

Napoli’s go-ahead stroke came off Marc Rzepczynski, right after a potential double-

play ball slipped away from the St. Louis reliever. More bruising, at least to the Cardinals: Rzepczynski wasn’t even supposed to face Napoli.

Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said he called down to the bullpen earlier in the inning and wanted Rzepczynski and closer Jason Motte to get ready. Instead, bullpen coach Derek Lilliquist heard only Rzepczynski at first. La Russa called again to ask for Motte and this time Lilliquist heard “Lynn,” as in reliever Lance Lynn.

“I was more frustrated the double-play ball went off the glove and the fact we had numerous chances to add runs.

TEXAS’ ADRIAN BELTRE CELEBRATES after hitting a home run during the sixth inning of Game 5 of the World Series. The Rangers won, 4-2, to take a 3-2 series lead on Monday in Arlington, Texas. After a day off, the Series will return to St. Louis for Game 6 on Wednesday.

It was supposed to be the day that the University of Missouri officially announced its intentions to leave the Big 12 Conference.

It wound up being more of the same, as the league and, in many ways, the rest of the college sports world, waded through another day of speculation and uncertainty regarding MU’s future and the impact it may have on others.

Late Monday night, MU Chancellor Brady Deaton broke the silence during an exclusive interview with KOMU-TV out of Columbia, Mo. The station caught up with Deaton at the

Columbia Regional Airport just minutes after his flight from Dallas, where he had spent the day with the Big 12’s board of directors, had landed.

In a short interview with the station, Deaton, though not in specific terms, nudged ahead the notion that the Tigers are leaving the Big 12.

“There’s no delays here at all,” Deaton told KOMU. “There’s some very specific things that have to be addressed and we’re addressing those.”

Later, Deaton spoke about the process and said the slow and deliberate nature of the decision was necessary.

Houston expected to consider Big East jump University of Houston regents will meet Thursday and are expected to give the chancellor authority to move the Cougars out of Conference USA to a new league, possibly the Big East.

The regents on Monday scheduled the special meeting to give Chancellor and President Renu Khator the authority to “execute a contract for athletic conference affiliation and to negotiate and provide notice of contract cancellation.� The item does not specify a conference destination.

Richard Bonnin, executive director of media relations for the university, referred questions the athletic department, where officials did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment. Big East Associate Commissioner John Paquette said the league “will continue our stance of not talking about individual institutions throughout the conference realignment process.�

The Big East, which has an automatic bid to the Bowl Championship Series for its football champion, has been scouring the landscape for new members after Syracuse and Pittsburgh accepted invitations to the Atlantic Coast Conference and TCU, which was scheduled to join the Big East in 2012, defected to the Big 12.

Texas state Rep. Garnett Coleman, whose district includes the Houston campus, said getting the Cougars into a BCS conference would be great step for an old Southwest Conference power that got left out the Big 12 when SWC fell apart in the early 1990s. “It puts (the athletes) on a national stage,�

Coleman said.

Football, basketball players want cut of TV revenue The Associated Press

More than 300 major-college football and men’s basketball players are telling the NCAA and college presidents they want a cut of ever-increasing TV sports revenue to fatten scholarships and cover all the costs of getting a degree, with athletes picking up still more grant money when they graduate.

The players from Arizona, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Purdue and UCLA have signed a petition asking the NCAA to “realize its mission to educate and protect us with integrity.� The National College Players Association, an athletes’ advocacy group, provided The Associated Press with copies of the document for release Monday. Players started sending the petition to the NCAA last week.

The document urges the NCAA and college presidents to set aside an unspecified amount of money from what it estimates is $775 million in recently acquired TV revenues in an “educational lock box� for football and men’s basketball players. Players could tap those funds to help cover educational costs if they exhaust their athletic eligibility before they graduate. And they could receive what’s left of the money allocated to them with no strings attached upon graduating — a step that would undoubtedly be seen by some as professionalizing college sports.

The issue of whether to pay college athletes has been getting increased attention at a time when athletic programs from Miami to Ohio State have endured a series of scandals involving impermissible benefits to players. At the same time, athletic conferences have made lucrative, new television deals.

The NCAA opposes paying athletes, but players whose talents enable colleges and coaches to reap millions have been largely silent in the debate until now. “I really want to voice my opinions,� said Georgia Tech defensive end Denzel McCoy, a red-shirt freshman. “The things we go through, the hours we put in, what our bodies go through, we deserve some sort of (results). College football is a billion dollar industry.�

McCoy was one of 55 Yellow Jackets who signed the NCPA petition for “education, integrity and basic protections.� He had little difficulty convincing the other players to take a public stance. “They signed it with ease,� McCoy said.

At UCLA, Bruins kicker and NFL prospect Jeff Locke enlisted 70 football players and 17 men’s basketball players — the entire roster— to sign the petition.

Locke, who like McCoy is a member of an NCPA council of active players that advises the group, emphasized that he does not see the locked box idea as paying players — the money would only go to players after their collegiate athletic careers were over; there would be no salary. The players did not put a dollar figure on what they want for the locked-box grants.

The idea is opposed by NCAA President Mark Emmert and others who cite the amateurism ideal as the backbone of college sports. Locke, however, is adamant that players must also benefit from the skyrocketing profits schools now see from renegotiated television deals, noting the Pac-12’s joint 12-year agreement with ESPN and Fox is worth $3 billion, the richest in college sports.

The petition drive comes as the NCAA Division I Board of Directors meets later this week in Indianapolis. Among the discussion topics is a proposal to allow conferences to increase the value of athletic scholarships, reducing the gap between those awards and the actual cost of going to school.

A 2010 study by Ithaca College researchers and the players’ association found that the average Division I athlete on a “full scholarship� winds up having to pay $2,951 annually in school-related expenses not covered by grants-in-aid. The shortfall represents the difference between educational expenses such as tuition, student fees, room and board and other costs not covered by scholarships, from campus parking fees to calculators and computer disks required for classes.

On Monday, Emmert told the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics in Washington that he will recommend an increase of up to $2,000 to cover the scholarship shortfall. The NCPA petition urges a $3,200 increase and a mandatory effort, not optional as Emmert suggests.

In a written statement, NCAA spokesman Bob Williams said the NCAA “redirects nearly all of its revenue to support student-athletes.�

TE Haywood leaving OU NORMAN, OKLA. — Tight end Austin Haywood plans to transfer from No. 11 Oklahoma at the end of the semester.

Coach Bob Stoops announced after practice Monday that Haywood was going to “quit� and that “we’re all good with that and wish him the best.�

Haywood played in the Sooners’ first six games this season, catching six passes for 42 yards. The sophomore was Oklahoma’s top tight end behind seniors James Hanna and Trent Ratterree, leaving the future of the position for next season in question.

Haywood is the team’s third offensive player to decide to transfer since the season started.

Iowa State changing QBs AMES, IOWA — Iowa State quarterback Steele Jantz’s turnover-prone play left him fighting to keep his job heading into last week’s game against Texas A&M. Jantz’s first toss was then picked off, and by the end of the opening quarter coach Paul Rhoads turned to untested red-shirt freshman Jared Barnett.

Barnett played the rest of the way in a 33-17 loss to the 16th-ranked Aggies, and he’ll get his first career start Saturday when the struggling Cyclones (3-4, 0-4 Big 12) travel to face Texas Tech (5-2, 2-2).

Rhoads says Jantz has lost confidence since injuring his foot in a win over Connecticut last month. Iowa State has scored just 34 points in its last two games.

Harris, an All-American who broke up 23 passes and averaged 18.8 yards per punt return last season, was also ticketed in June

by Oregon State Police for driving 118 mph on Interstate 5 on a suspended license.

USC apologizes to Irish LOS ANGELES — Southern California linebacker Chris Galippo apologized Monday for claiming Notre Dame quit in the final minutes of the 20th-ranked Trojans’ victory in South Bend last weekend.

USC coach Lane Kiffin called Irish coach Brian Kelly to apologize for Galippo’s comments after the 31-17 victory for the Trojans (6-1), whose dominant performance put them back in the Top 25 after a four-week absence.

Galippo is a senior who was recruited by Notre Dame out of high school. He shared his teammates’ surprise when the Irish declined to use their timeouts in the fourth quarter to slow the Trojans’ final drive, which ended the game by consuming nearly seven minutes on 10 consecutive runs by tailback Curtis McNeal. “At the end there, when they didn’t call those timeouts, they just quit,� Galippo said after the game. “That’s what Notre Dame football is about. They’re not anything like USC.�

Galippo apologized on his Twitter feed and in a statement from the school.

Neuheisel feeling heat LOS ANGELES — For better and worse, not much is slick about Rick Neuheisel these days.

The UCLA coach is no longer the flashy young offensive mastermind who engineered big victories and endured messy departures from his previous top jobs at Colorado and Washington.

Neuheisel is now a profoundly earnest 50-year-old man in an old-fashioned sweater vest with a small Bruins helmet embroidered on the breast, looking very much like a direct coaching descendant of John Wooden, one of his idols.

Slick Rick, the nickname once slapped on him by envious opponents and supporters alike, no longer fits a coach who has strived to do everything by the book at UCLA — and who might be five games away from losing his dream job anyway. “I don’t think that this is the end by any stretch of the imagination,� Neuheisel said Monday while the Bruins (3-4, 2-2 Pac-12) began preparations for California. “As a matter of fact, I look at it as a beginning, and look at it as a fantastic challenge that we should embrace. Adversity is nothing more than an opportunity camouflaged.�

Neuheisel began his fourth season by acknowledging he’s on a hot seat, and his Bruins haven’t done much to cool it down in the last three months.

After an embarrassing 36-point loss at Arizona last week punctuated by a brawl and six suspensions, Neuheisel might be nearly out of time to show enough progress to keep his dream job.

After poor start, Chiefs riding 3-game streak

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — A few weeks ago, many Chiefs fans were lobbying to join the Andrew Luck sweepstakes.

Kansas City had lost three straight games, two in historically bad fashion, not to mention the four preseason games before that. The Chiefs had endured a slew of season-ending injuries to some of their best players, and fans were pining for the superstar quarterback from Stanford widely expected to be the first overall pick in the NFL draft.

Fast forward to the present and the “Suck for Luck” crusade is a thing of the past.

Now, fans are embracing a

“Play for Playoffs” movement that certainly sits better with the Chiefs’ players.

“The great part about what this team has done is we just continue to grind and take it one game at a time,” quarterback Matt Cassel said. “You can see us get better from the start of the season till now.

Hopefully we’ll just continue to make progress. We know it’s a one-game season every week.”

The cynics will point to the teams Kansas City has beaten and argue little has changed.

Minnesota and Indianapolis are combined 1-13 this season, and the Colts were routed 62-7 by New Orleans on Sunday night. The Chiefs’ 28-0 victory over Oakland was tempered by the fact

the Raiders couldn’t decide whether to play Kyle Boller or newly acquired Carson Palmer at quarterback.

It turned out neither option was very good.

Both of them threw three interceptions, and the six total were one shy of the Chiefs’ franchise single-game record. Two of them were returned for touchdowns.

So it’s not as if Kansas City has recovered from getting shellacked by Buffalo and Detroit to start the season, and losing a competitive game at San Diego, by beating anybody noteworthy.

But they’ve still won three straight games, and that’s nothing to sneeze at in the NFL. “We don’t have too many

pretty games,” cornerback Brandon Carr said, “but as long as we come away with the victory that’s all that matters. We’re definitely making progress.”

That part is indisputable.

The Chiefs have gone from league-wide laughingstock after the first two weeks to a trendy team on the rise, one that can move into a threeway tie for first place in the AFC West with a victory over the Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday night. Kansas City would have a game in hand with the win over Oakland and a split of the season series against San Diego.

Kansas City’s win over the Raiders on Sunday was the first time it had pitched a road

“(It’s) the kind of thing you can’t rush,” he said. “I know fans get impatient. I’m very sympathetic. What I hope they will understand is that this is not a set of issues that one can just press a button and be done with it. These issues have to be addressed on behalf of the University of Missouri and that’s what we’re doing, we’re looking out for the University of Missouri.”

When the reporter asked Deaton if he thought he had enough support from the SEC to become the league’s 14th member, Deaton remained vague but, again, spoke confidently about the Tigers’ position.

“I’ll let them speak for themselves,” he said. “We’re reasonably clear about where we stand. We have some issues we’ve got to examine and clarify. When that’s done, we’ll make a decision and be on with it.”

Perhaps the most telling part of the interview was the way Deaton spoke about the Big 12, when he was asked for his thoughts about the direction of the league.

“I think the Big 12 is making some of the right moves that are necessary for the Big 12 to do,” Deaton said.

“I wish them the best and all that and we’ll see where that goes.”

Earlier Monday, the Big 12 board of directors expressed a “strong desire” for Missouri to remain in the conference.

The Big 12 said in a release that all 10 current members and TCU, which will join next season, participated in the board’s Monday meeting.

Interim Commissioner Chuck Neinas told the Associated Press that Missouri did not notify the conference that it would be withdrawing at the meeting.

The Big 12 board also reaffirmed its plans to have its members grant their most lucrative television rights to the conference and discussed exploring a conference network.

The conference has lost three members in the last 16 months.

Nebraska left for the Big Ten, and Colorado headed for the Pac-12 after last season.

And this season, Texas A&M announced it would leave for the Southeastern Conference.

The Big 12 diverted TCU from the Big East, and is considering adding Louisville, West Virginia or BYU as possible replacements for Missouri.

football. And then because of that, they’re able to have the controlled passing game.

They’ve struggled some on defense, but they’re playing better, with more confidence.

And I think that’s the thing that scares you.”

Haley sheepishly admitted to passing along his superstitious nature to his own kids, too. But so long as the Chiefs keep winning, it’s hard to believe anybody will complain.

Especially given what’s coming up on the schedule.

After playing the Chargers on Monday night, Kansas City faces the winless Dolphins and struggling Broncos at home. Then comes a fivegame meat grinder: at New England, Pittsburgh at home, and road games against Chicago and the Jets before hosting the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers.

There’s a good chance that the wide-open AFC West won’t be decided until the final two weeks of the regular season.

Robinson

enough depth to keep guys fresh. We could literally have starters that could all play that (30 minutes) if they stay out of foul trouble. Thomas is as important as anybody we’ve had to keep on the court.”

Self expects Robinson to be big on intangibles.

“Even though he has not played a lot, he has more life experiences than most people go through in a lifetime,” Self said. Robinson’s mom and two grandparents died last school year. “He has matured at an unbelievably rapid rate because he’s had to. People look at Thomas as a pillar for us. He has been able to lead without talking because of his actions.”

Robinson embraces his new leadership role.

“I would say the toughest challenge for me is there will be a time we are down 10 points and not much time on the clock. Somebody might have to step up and keep everybody on the same page,” Robinson said. “Usually I’ve been preached to. Now I’ll be the one doing the preaching with Tyshawn (Taylor, senior) and Travis (Releford, fourth-year junior). I’m a person who will have to step up. It’s a challenge, but I’m ready.”

Big 12 quickly becoming no-defense league

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

The Blackshirts at Nebraska are gone to the Big Ten and the once-vaunted Wrecking Crew at Texas A&M is looking awfully porous these days.

If defense wins championships, there is a lot to worry about in Big 12 country.

Not a single school from the conference is ranked in the top 25 nationally in total defense, and only Kansas State and Texas are in the top 30. BCS darling Oklahoma State? Well, its defense is ranked 103rd — a long, long way from LSU, Alabama and even Boise State.

“There’s a lot of talk, ‘Can you win enough games with an offense and defense that may be in the bottom half of the ratings in the country?’”

Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said Monday. “I think we all would like to have a defense and an offense ranked in the top 10 or 20.”

Or even the top 40, if you’re Oklahoma. Or the top 50 at Missouri. Or the top 60 at Texas A&M. Kansas would settle for just about anything better than where it is currently.

The Jayhawks are dead last among 120 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision, yielding more than 550 yards per game. They’re also last in scoring defense and secondto-last in pass defense and rush defense.

“Defense,” coach Turner Gill acknowledged, “is the — The Associated Press contrib- area we haven’t made the uted information to this report best improvement.”

shutout in the 52-year history of the series. It was also the Chiefs’ first road shutout since beating San Diego on Nov. 4, 1973, and the first shutout overall since beating San Francisco on Oct. 1, 2006.

“We got a division win against a team that won all their division games last year, so that’s big in itself,” said coach Todd Haley, who is refusing to shave his scruffy beard until his team loses.

Haley blames his father, longtime Steelers executive Dick Haley, for the superstitious streak that runs through him. The younger Haley remembers driving to games at Three Rivers Stadium as a kid and having to sit in the same car seat until Pittsburgh lost a game.

Johnson cracks Top 10 With his 13 tackles against Kansas State, senior linebacker Steven Johnson jumped into a tie for 10th in the nation in total tackles, with 76. That number currently leads the Big 12 and also has the Media, Pa., senior in 10th place nationally in tackles per game at 10.8.

KU coach Turner Gill said Sunday that Johnson’s play this season had shown why he earned the title of co-captain.

Nearly every team can point to something to use as an excuse.

In the Jayhawks’ case, defensive coordinator Carl Torbush resigned May 31 to seek treatment for cancer, handing the reins to Vic Shealy. The defense has been a disaster, allowing at least 42 points to every FBS team it’s faced this season. Kansas has been unable to stop even the most inept of offenses, although they haven’t had many of them come along so far.

Therein lies the rub.

While Big 12 teams are yielding yards by the bushel, they’re also racking up offense at a tremendous pace. Five of the country’s top seven teams in total offense are in the Big 12 (Houston and Oregon are the other two). Missouri makes it six of the top 12.

So, are terrible defenses making the Big 12’s offenses look good? Or are the highoctane offenses making the defenses look, well, terrible?

Texas coach Mack Brown believes it’s a combination of the two.

“Our league scores so many points, and part of that is the vertical passing game,” said Brown, whose Longhorns are allowing 338 yards per game, second in the league and 30th in the nation.

Rather than trying to slow down the hurry-up offenses of Oklahoma and Baylor, or match up with star receivers like Justin Blackmon at Oklahoma State, or bottle up running backs like Henry Josey at Missouri, Brown has decided that the Longhorns

“That’s what you expect out of your best players,” Gill said. “And you hope that they are performing, every game, at the level you expect them to perform. We want other people to raise their level of play to those guys.”

KU-ISU gets 11:30 start KU’s Nov. 5 game at Iowa State will kick off at 11:30 a.m. and will be broadcast on Fox College Sports.

The Jayhawks’ Week 2 vic-

are better off simply trying to outscore them.

“You’ve got to score points, and you have to score a lot of points,” he said. “We’re scoring 30 points a game and that’s not enough in this league. I think there are some defensive players that are really good in this league, but there’s still a lot of points getting scored.”

Perhaps the biggest reason Kansas State leads the league in total defense — and is ranked No. 29 nationally — is that it does the best job of keeping its defense off the field altogether.

While Oklahoma’s prolific offense likes to score in a matter of minutes, and Baylor considers it a failure to spend even that much time getting into the end zone, Kansas State is content to grind down the clock every time it has the ball. The Wildcats lead the nation in time of possession at 34 minutes, 52 seconds every game, well ahead of second-place Virginia Tech.

Bill Snyder understands his team can’t go toe-to-toe in a shootout with some of the high-octane offenses run at other schools, so the coach is running a unique style of option offense. The result is that his defense spends nearly 8 minutes less on the field per game than Baylor’s defense.

“We pay attention against the run, or have anyway.

We’re a little more consistent up front, our linebackers have got a little more speed,” Snyder said. “It’s just a combination of things.”

tory against Northern Illinois was shown on the FCS network, and KU also played on the network twice during the 2010 season.

After its Oct. 8 game at Oklahoma State was not televised, KU has appeared on television twice since then and will be on TV again this week, when The Longhorn Network and Jayhawk Network team up to broadcast KU’s 6 p.m. kickoff at Texas.

take two bad ones (deep shots) a game, two awful ones, so he could take them in the first five minutes or whatever, but he was done after that. Thomas ... I don’t know what it’s going to be, but he can’t live on the perimeter.

He needs to use his athletic ability and motor as opposed to being (only) a skilled guy.

He needs to be able to make shots, but also needs to be efficient. That’s by driving the ball and getting to the freethrow line.

“He’s got to get to the line and become a better freethrow shooter than he has in the past. He’ll be harder to guard than what he’s been in the past because he stepped out to make the shot.”

Robinson hit 49 of 96 free throws for 51 percent last season.

“It’s something I feel is mental,” Robinson said of free-throwing. “I shot the ball great in the offseason last year. I got in the game and unfortunately it didn’t transfer over. It’s all mental.

If you have big-enough heart, you’ll step up to the line and knock the free throws down.”

Blessed with a natural nose for the ball, Robinson figures to improve his rebound numbers his junior campaign.

As far as the equally-important defensive end, “I need to be smarter so I can be in the game longer,” said Robinson, who was whistled for 67 fouls in 482 total minutes his sophomore season for 35-3 KU. “Last year I didn’t have to be in the best shape. This year I do. I have to stay healthy, keep running, be in the best shape of my life.”

Self said: “He can’t foul 32 feet from the basket because of not being disciplined and reaching. We’ve got to do some things to eliminate him from being in those situations. We have not had a lot of guys play 30 minutes (before) because we’ve had

Jags shut down Ravens ————

Jones-Drew gains 105 in 12-7 win JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (AP) — On one night, on one big stage, the Jacksonville Jaguars did everything better than the Baltimore Ravens.

Maurice Jones-Drew ran for 105 yards against the NFL’s best run defense, Josh Scobee kicked four field goals, and the Jaguars snapped a fivegame slide with a 12-7 victory over the Ravens on Monday night.

Stepping into the national spotlight for a few hours, the Jaguars used their best defensive effort in five years to slow down Ray Rice, Joe Flacco and Co. Jacksonville (2-5) didn’t allow a first down until the 5:26 mark of the third quarter, a mix of stout defense and inept offense. Flacco finally got the Ravens (4-2) on the scoreboard with a little more than two minutes remaining.

He capped a 90-yard drive with a five-yard touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin.

The Ravens failed to recover an onside kick when the ball bounced inches short of going the required 10 yards. Scobee followed with his third field goal of at least 50 yards.

Baltimore had a final possession, but in fitting fashion, Jacksonville’s defense came up big. Drew Coleman stepped in front of Ed Dickson and intercepted Flacco’s final pass.

The Ravens finished with 146 total yards. The Jaguars had 205.

The Jaguars set a franchise record by allowing only 16 yards in the first half, including one yard passing by Flacco, who was under relentless pressure for much of the night.

Baltimore finally got a first down on its 28th play of the game when Rice broke off a 12-yard run. That was only the second play longer than 10 yards for the Ravens, although they picked up two more first downs on the drive. It ended when Dwight Lowery sacked Flacco, and Billy Cundiff’s 52-yard field goal was wide right.

0-of-16 on third-down conversions in the opening half.

The Jaguars began the third quarter with six first downs, only for the Ravens defense to stiffen after yet another mistake.

The Ravens stopped Jacksonville, but Brendon Ayanbadejo was called for a personal foul and ejected from

Series That’s probably more frustrating,” La Russa said.

“The other part just happens. I mean, it’s loud down there, and sometimes you call down there and you have to wait until the crowd and a guy gets up late. I mean, this is not unusual,” he said.

Whatever, it cost the Cardinals dearly.

Texas will try to wrap it up in Game 6 on Wednesday night in St. Louis, with Colby Lewis facing Jaime Garcia.

The weather forecast for Busch Stadium is daunting, calling for rain and temperatures around 50.

After Napoli put Texas ahead, the slugging catcher capped off his night of double duty by throwing out a would-be base stealer in the ninth as Albert Pujols struck out.

“Pujols is going to put it in play, he’s a good contact hitter,” Napoli said, “and they were just starting the runner, 3-2. As soon as I got it, I just got rid of it and put it on the bag.”

And just like that, Texas was one win away.

If the Rangers eventually do win that elusive crown, the Texas fans who stood and chanted Napoli’s name may forever remember his tworun hit.

“Just trying to get something to the outfield, you know, get a sac fly, get that run across the board,” Napoli said. “I was trying to stay short and I got a pitch I could handle over the middle of the plate and put it in the gap.”

If the Cardinals lose, there’s no doubt which play will stick with La Russa for a long, long time.

It was 2-all when Texas put runners on first and second with one out in the eighth, and Rzepczynski was summoned. David Murphy fol-

the game when he punched Guy Whimper in the facemask after the play. That gave the Jaguars first-and-goal from the 3, but Blaine Gabbert failed to complete two passes in the end zone and Scobee kicked a NFL AMERICAN CONFERENCE 22-yard field goal.

East W L Scobee, who extended England 5 1 his franchise record with a New Buffalo 4 2 field goal for the 15th straight N.Y. Jets 4 3 0 6 game, earlier kicked a pair of Miami South field goals from 54 yards.

But the ball appeared to glance off Rzepczynski’s hand and trickled harmlessly away for a single that loaded the bases. In the dugout, La Russa immediately threw his hands to his head, a true “Oh, no!” moment.

The mix-up then kept the lefty in to face the righthanded Napoli, and it didn’t work.

Napoli, who came close to a three-run homer in his previous at-bat and hit a big homer in a Game 4 win, sent a drive up the al-

The double off Rzepczynski sure spelled good things for Texas, with excitable manager Ron Washington waving the runners around from the dugout.

Darren Oliver earned the win and Neftali Feliz closed for his second save of the Series and sixth of the postseason.

Adrian Beltre and Mitch Moreland hit solo home runs off Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter, helping Texas come back from an early 2-0 deficit.

Later, it became a battle of the bullpens, and Texas prevailed.

Husband cheating on wife who has cancer Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Annie: I have noticed disturbing behavior occurring on a website that is supposed to be used for educational interaction between schools. One student taunted another and even said no one liked her.

Is this classified as cyberbullying? What was said was certainly harmful and hurtful. How do you suggest I inform the school that this is going on? —Student Trying To Make a Difference

— Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Dear Siblings: Please allow Susan to bring up her husband’s affair. There is no way to know whether she would be relieved to talk about it or whether it would simply be more stress than she can handle. It may comfort her to think her siblings believe her marriage is solid. Instead, tell her that all of you would like the opportunity to provide a place for her in your own homes. Let her know how much you love her and want this chance to spend time together. In spite of your loving offer, however, Susan may prefer to stay where she is. (And please leave the kids out of it. We suspect they know more than you think.)

Blessed with memorable characters, an underdog setting and heart-stopping climax, the sports documentary “Prayer for a Perfect Season” (8 p.m., HBO) has all the stuff of great drama.

Fans may have become cynical about the NBA and even college hoops, but high school basketball remains one of the last enclaves of pure sport. “Perfect” follows the 2010-11 season at St. Patrick’s High School in the industrial, or post-industrial, city of Elizabeth, N.J. Coached by Kevin Boyle, a man for whom the word “intense” seems inadequate, the team has dominated the Garden State’s competitive basketball world, but had yet to go undefeated.

Its star player, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (now playing for Kentucky), faces numerous distractions. Followed, scouted and celebrated for his talent since at least eighth grade, Gilchrist can count on his family to keep his head on straight, as they have done since his father was murdered when Michael was only 2. Now he faces his senior year after the death of his surrogate father. Another player must compete as his brother faces prison for aggravated assault. Coach Boyle, too, is reeling from family tragedy. ‘‘Perfect” uses St. Patrick’s season as a means to examine the decline of the urban parochial school system, an enduring institution buffeted by demographic changes as well as the huge legal fees arising from the clergy abuse scandals.

And, like “Hoosiers,” this documentary comes down to a single game. The St. Patrick Celtics (26-0) and Jersey City’s St. Anthonys (29-0) compete before an overflow crowd, excited by the prospect that only one squad can leave the gym undefeated.

The new series “Flip Men” (9:30 p.m., Spike) takes on real estate sale and speculation with a certain Spike flair. Don’t go looking for the posh locales featured on Bravo and HGTV. This “Flip” is closer to those peculiar and perverse televised storage locker buying sprees.

Utah-based real estate agents Doug Clark and Mike Baird bid on properties at auction, sight unseen. Sometimes they get more (or less) than they anticipated.

In the first installment, they’re stuck with a home that housed an illegal meth lab.

Josh Duhamel narrates the 10-episode series “Bomb Patrol: Afghanistan” (9 p.m., G4), made with the cooperation of the U.S. Navy.

Tonight’s other highlights

Hopefuls warble to survive on “The X-Factor” (7 p.m., Fox).

“History Detectives” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings) examines a strange comic book from the segregation era.

“Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) examines the case of a Texas man executed for a fatal arson despite exonerating evidence.

The search for an heiress’s past grows cold on “Unforgettable” (9 p.m., CBS).

Unarmed and in danger on “Prime Suspect” (9 p.m., NBC).

Death stalks the equestrian set on “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC).

An internal vote gets sidelined by danger from without on “Sons of Anarchy” (9 p.m., FX).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, Oct. 25: This year you discover the importance of maintaining a low profile. You often feel overwhelmed.

If you are single, first encounters can be very intense. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from weekends alone. You will bond more closely.

Libra makes a great healer.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You are goaloriented, with the energy to hit a home run. Someone who comes toward you is very serious and needs to open up. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could push a family member over the line. You might feel a bit uncomfortable with what is going on. Tonight: Get some exercise and reduce stress.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your words often are a little harsher than you realize. Try to soften them before they come out. Tonight: Launch into action.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) If you can handle a family matter, do. Otherwise, it could be

stuck in your craw all day long. Be careful where you invest your money.

Tonight: Head home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Your spunk marks a decision. You might be overwhelming to others. If this type of reaction is what you want, fine, but odds are you would prefer to get a different response. Tonight: Head home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) Keep communication moving. Refuse to get stuck in a quagmire. You won’t be able to resolve this issue. Tonight: Stop and visit with some friends.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to understand more of what is going on. Be smart — stall until you really know what is going on financially. Tonight: Home in on what you want.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your ability to understand what is happening behind the scenes carries you through a problem, but keep certain insights to yourself. Tonight: As you like it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) You cannot

deny a natural interest in a certain group that you often meet with — whether it is a common cause or perhaps you admire the way they handle their issues. Tonight: Join friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might not realize how frequently you change your tune. You could gain a very different perspective if you simply detach from what you do and what others do in response. Tonight: In the limelight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your ability to walk in another’s shoes emerges. Sometimes a friend could push hard, making you reconsider your relationship. Others could be overly assertive.

Tonight: Be adventurous.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to spend some time with an associate discussing some bottom lines.

As you might be involved in the same projects, this conversation could be important. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Dear Annie: I come from a family of seven kids. Last spring, our oldest sister, “Susan,” was diagnosed with lung cancer, and it has spread. We have rallied around and take turns spending time with her.

We recently found out that “Tom,” Susan’s husband of 30 years, has been cheating on her for the past five.

They live in a small town, and everybody knows. (I found out by overhearing women talking at the grocery store.) Susan filed for divorce two years ago, but when Tom was diagnosed with prostate cancer, she stopped the process to take care of him. She thought this would wake him up, but apparently, his girlfriend was “taking care” of him, too.

Tom has no problem being seen about town with this woman, who is also married with young children.

In all of our visits, Susan has yet to mention the affair.

We also don’t know what to do about her two grown children who know nothing of their father’s activities, even though all their friends are aware of it. Tom isn’t likely to proceed with the divorce because it would make him look bad, but he undoubtedly thinks if he waits long enough, Susan will die. This is making us all sick. Any of us would gladly take her in,
