down from those roles.

“As we complete the finishing touches to our yearlong strategic planning process, the chancellor and I have agreed that I will step down as dean of the School of Medicine,” Atkinson wrote in a message to faculty and staff Thursday. “In an effort

to provide a seamless transition and a thoughtful succession plan, I have agreed to serve as the (executive vice chancellor) for another two years until December 2013. The process for selecting the new dean will begin immediately.”

As executive vice chancel-

lor, Atkinson oversaw all of the schools housed at KU Medical Center, including the School of Medicine, the School of Health Professions (formerly known as the School of Allied Health) and the School of Nursing, in addition to her role as dean of the medical school. Plans are under

way at the Med Center to add a new School of Public Health.

“I just had another birthday, so it was time to think about a transition,” said Atkinson, who is 69.

Each year, thousands of World War II veterans have the chance to visit the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., thanks to the national Honor Flight Network.

But for Lawrence resident Edna Bremenkamp Poole, a recent Honor Flight allowed her to pay tribute to one World War II veteran in particular: her husband, who is interred at Arlington National Cemetery.

Last weekend, Poole, 93, her son Kevin Poole and 24 other veterans and their guardians took a whirlwind trip to Washington to see the national memorials and, in the words of Poole, be treated better than royalty.

POOLE DISPLAYS A MEDAL given to her by her church, Grace Community Church in Overbrook, which raised money to pay for the cost of her airfare and lodging to Washington, D.C. “During the whole thing you felt you were honored.

From the day you left to the day you got back,” Poole said.

The Honor Flight Network was founded in 2005 on the hopes of bringing World War II

see the memorial.

For the two-day trip Poole was on, the Grace Community Church in Overbrook raised more than $11,000 to cover the costs of the veterans’ airfare and lodging. Guardians pay their own way.

“As a country, we were mighty late in honoring these guys,” said Brian Spencer, who has been on more than a dozen honor flights and guided the group from Overbrook.

“As a country we dropped the ball, and we are trying to pick it back up as best we can.”

Poole is a World War II veteran who crossed both oceans in her five years of

Gerald Cooley, the longtime city attorney who oversaw a groundbreaking lawsuit that allowed the city to reject plans for a controversial “cornfield mall,” is leaving his city post at the end of the year.

Cooley announced his pending retirement as city attorney on Thursday.

“Soon I will be 79 years old and will have 59 years in the practice,” Cooley said. “It is just time to stop worrying about whether I get up promptly in the morning.”

City Manager David Corliss said Toni Wheeler, the city’s director of the legal department, will assume the title of city attorney.

“The citizens of Lawrence should join me in expressing their appreciation for Jerry’s outstanding service to our community,” Corliss said. “His de- Cooley cades of work define dedicated public service conducted with the highest integrity.”

Cooley has served as the city attorney since 1988, but began working as an assistant city attorney in the mid-1960s under his law partner and longtime City Attorney Milton Allen. In those days, the assistant role meant that he also served as the city’s prosecutor. Cooley was responsible for prosecuting many violations that resulted from the civil unrest on the Kansas University campus and in the city during the late 1960s.

“I looked at the Penn State debacle on the news this morning, and it brought back a lot of memories in terms of the unrest,” Cooley said. “It takes a long time for an institution to overcome those type of scars.”

But Cooley said his biggest case may have come in the 1980s when a Cleveland-based development firm sought to build a Please see CITY, page 5A

Mandatory reporting of child abuse is obligation not to be taken lightly

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

In all the questions swirling around the child sex abuse scandal at Penn State, one stands out: How could such high-level officials suspect sexual abuse was occurring and not report it?

The question is both a legal and moral one.

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky is accused of sexually abusing or molesting eight boys. But what really caught the media’s attention was an incident in 2002 where a Penn

State graduate assistant allegedly witnessed a sexual act between Sandusky and a 10-year-old boy in the football locker room showers. He reported that incident to legendary coach Joe Paterno, who reported it to Athletic Director Tim Curley. They and other university officials never reported the incident to authorities.

Even for someone who has seen as many child sex abuse cases as Douglas County chief assistant district attorney Amy McGowan, the information from the grand jury’s report that detailed the allega-

tions was shocking.

“The first question is how could it go on and no one do anything about it,” she said.

The scenario at Penn State reminds McGowan of the scandal of sexual abuse that continues to rock the Catholic Church.

“Much like the Catholic Church, they didn’t want to believe it was happening, they didn’t want their reputation to be sullied,” McGowan said.

McGowan, who handles many of the district’s sex crime cases, knows that people’s immediate impulse is

to believe the sexual abuse is not happening. And often they are afraid of the repercussions of reporting it.

“People are really afraid of a witch hunt kind of deal. They know if they report accusations that are valid it can change people’s lives and have a longlasting effect. Adults know when I pick up that phone and make the call, this is what can happen,” McGowan said. “What I say ... (is) err on the side of caution for the protection of the child.”

Van Brighton Van Eugene Brighton, 63, embarked on his sacred journey on November 9, 2011. He was born on June 11, 1948, in Junction City, the only son of Bernice Lafferty Brighton and Dale Eugene Brighton. He is survived by his wife, Jan; mother, Bernice; daughter, Kristin, and husband, Ben Ward; son, Michael, and wife, Heather; stepson, Bren McMillen; and four grandchildren: Ryan and Kate Ward, and Mary and Andrew Brighton. He is reuniting with his father and all grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Van spent his childhood in Irving and Frankfort, before spending his teen years in Kansas City, Kansas. He was a standout athlete in track and basketball at Washington High School, selected as athlete of the year for the class of 1966. He attended Kansas State University, where he pledged the Beta Theta Phi house, studied physical education, and served as a basketball manager under Cotton Fitzsimmons. He graduated in 1970, and continued to closely follow K-State sports the rest of his life.

Upon college graduation, he married Sandy Millsap and taught at Lucky High School before becoming the club pro and later club manager for Stagg Hill Golf Course. He spent many years in the golf business, at Stagg Hill and later at the Manhattan Country Club. Golf — and more importantly, teaching golf — was a lifelong passion to which he returned many times in his professional life.

After leaving the Manhattan Country Club, he worked with Casper Building Services and then at Keating and Associates, before purchasing Green’s Book Store, which he renamed Office World.

In the late 1980s, Van went to work for Borck Brothers Menswear before moving to Kansas City to work for Verl’s Custom Tailors on the Country Club Plaza. In 1989, he married Jan, and they made their home together in Kansas City. They decided to move back to Manhattan in 1994 to be closer to his children, his mother, and the community he loved.

With this move, Van returned to his passion, golf. He opened his own Brighton golf academy and gave hundreds of private golf lessons, to both adults and youth of all levels. As a coach, he touched the lives of many young people — mentoring them both in golf and in life.

In 2004, Van took an opportunity to open his own property management business, moving to Lawrence to work side-by-side with Jan who had become a Realtor for Stephens Real Estate. Together they became quite a team, assisting clients — many who became dear friends — find the perfect home.

A true Renaissance man with a lot of passion and knowledge about a multitude of topics, Van also devoted himself to an ongoing quest to learn about natural health, nutrition, wellness and spirituality. Through this journey, he made many long-lasting friendships with kindred spirits across the globe. After being diagnosed with cancer, he approached his battle in his own way, and did so with confidence and peace in his decisions. As a final gift to the world, Van’s eyes were donated to help others.

Van has touched the lives of thousands of people and will be greatly missed. Please join his family as we honor him with a funeral service held in Manhattan at 10:00 am at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 1110 College Avenue, in Manhattan.

Internment will immediately follow the service at Sunrise Cemetery in Manhattan. All friends are also invited to a Celebration of Life, which will be held from 2 to 4 pm Sunday, November 13, at the Lawrence Country Club, 400 Country Club Terrace, Lawrence.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Van Brighton Memorial Fund in care of Capitol Federal Savings, 1401 Poyntz Avenue, Manhattan, KS, 66502.

medical school is selected.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said a search committee is being formed to find a new dean, and she said she hoped to fill the position by next summer. She added that a search for a new executive vice chancellor for the Medical Center will begin in about a year.

Atkinson said that both she and Gray-Little would be involved in the hiring of the new dean — “it has to be the both of us,” Atkinson said.

Gray-Little said she and Atkinson had been in discussions about a plan to separate the two positions, and the discussion of the timetable for Atkinson’s retirement came up more recently.

“I think it would be very hard for someone to just step into both roles,” Atkinson said. “They are two very big jobs.”

Gray-Little said she was impressed with the things Atkinson has been able to accomplish during her tenure at KU Medical Center, including providing resources for National Cancer Institute designation, increasing the level of federally funded research on campus, leading changes to the medical curriculum and making improvements to facilities on the campus.

“She’s accomplished a great deal, and I think the Medical Center is far ahead of where it was when she came there,” Gray-Little said.

Atkinson said she was also pleased to lead the expansion of medical school education in Wichita and Salina.

Atkinson joined the KU medical school in 2000 to lead the department of pathology and laboratory medicine. She was named executive dean of the medical school in 2002, and has led the campuses in Wichita and Kansas City since then.

She added the executive vice chancellor role in 2005.

“That’s a pretty long time for someone to serve in those two roles,” Gray-Little said.

The decision to separate Atkinson’s two roles also means that the university will get another seat on the KU Hospital Authority Board, as the hospital’s bylaws provide for seats for both the executive vice chancellor and the dean of the medical school.

Once a new dean is named, that person will also become a voting member of the board, along with the executive vice chancellor’s position.

Both Gray-Little and Atkinson said the transition should not have a significant impact on KU’s ongoing efforts to achieve National Cancer Institute designation.

“I think that it should not affect it at all,” Gray-Little said.

If KU hears whether its application had been approved by next summer as it expects to, Atkinson will have remained on during the entire time, Gray-Little said, especially during an upcoming site visit and review by the NCI scheduled for February.

There is still work to be done, both Gray-Little and Atkinson said. In her message to faculty and staff, Atkinson outlined four measures that she would be working on during the remainder of her term as executive vice chancellor: achieving NCI designation, opening the new public health school, expanding the class size of the Kansas City medical school by 50 students, and strengthening KUMC’s ties to Wyandotte County and improving the health of the community.

“I’ve got the next two years to work on my next top priorities,” Atkinson said. “Then after that, I’m going to retire.”

Master teacher ‘best of the best’

By Christine Metz

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

cmetz@ljworld.com

Senate OKs job benefits for veterans On Veterans Day eve, an uncharacteristically unified Senate emphatically passed a bill to help unemployed veterans and government contractors that includes the first, small slivers of President Barack Obama’s jobs agenda that he is likely to sign into law.

Thursday’s 95-0 vote gave lawmakers the opportunity to fly home to holiday events and boast about helping veterans and protecting jobs. But it did little to help close the scorching partisan divide over how to revive the gasping economy, an issue that seems sure to decide next year’s presidential and congressional elections.

“We deal with a lot of contentious issues here, but this should not be one of them,” said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., a leading sponsor of the veterans’ provisions.

The legislation would award tax credits of up to $9,600 to companies that hire disabled veterans who have been job-hunting for at least half a year and strengthen employment counseling and training programs for vets and troops about to leave the military.

The House is expected to approve the bill resoundingly next week, which would send it to Obama.

KENDRA METZ, a Southwest Middle School teacher in language arts and reading, reacts to being named Lawrence Master Teacher Thursday.

When Kendra Metz’s husband told her she might want to dress up on Thursday, she thought it was for date night.

But it turned out to be something even better, as school administrators, family and former colleagues poured into her Southwest Middle School classroom Thursday afternoon.

Metz, a language arts and reading teacher, was recognized as the Lawrence Master Teacher, an annual award recognizing excellence among teachers with more than five years of experience. The prize comes with a $2,500 check from KU Credit

Union. Lawrence Superintendent Rick Doll made the announcement in front of Metz’s students, calling her the “best of the best” in the district.

“Thank you very much. I’m just completely caught off guard,” Metz told the roomful of people while dabbing her eyes with a tissue. “But this explains why my husband told me to dress up today.”

Metz has taught in the district for 18 years. In that time she has been at Central Junior High and Quail Run, Prairie Park and Woodlawn schools. This fall, Metz joined the staff at Southwest after having taught sixthgraders at Hillcrest School for the past five years.

State 9th in mental health cuts

New advice on kids’ cholesterol tests More children should be screened for high cholesterol before puberty, beyond those with a family history of problems, according to wide-ranging new guidelines expected from government-appointed experts who are trying to prevent heart disease later in life.

The new advice will be presented Sunday at an American Heart Association conference by some members of a panel for the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.

Any call for wider screening is likely to raise concern about overdiagnosing a condition that may not cause problems for decades, if ever. Yet studies suggest that half of children with high cholesterol will also have it as adults, and it’s one of the bestknown causes of clogged arteries that can lead to heart attacks.

Until now, major medical groups such as the American Academy of Pediatrics have advised screening only children with a family history of early heart disease or high cholesterol and those who are obese or have diabetes or high blood pressure.

Kansas ranks ninth in the nation when it comes to reductions in state funding for mental health services.

It has cut $14.3 million between 2009 and 2012, according to a report “State Mental Health Cuts: The Continuing Crisis” released Thursday by the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The 2012 state budget for mental health services is $101 million, down from $115 million in 2009, a 12.4 percent decrease.

Nationwide, there has been a $1.6 billion decrease.

South Carolina had the largest percentage decrease at 39 percent, followed by Alabama, 36, and Alaska, 32. Other states have added funding. North Dakota has seen a 48 percent increase, followed by Georgia at 21 percent.

The announcement by the State Department means Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. will have to figure out a way to move the proposed Keystone XL pipeline around the Nebraska Sandhills region and Ogallala Aquifer, which supplies water to eight states. The State Department said it will require an environmental review of the new section, which is expected to be completed in early 2013.

President Barack Obama said the 1,700-mile pipeline could affect the health and safety of the American people as well as the environment.

“We should take the time to ensure that all questions are properly addressed and all the potential impacts are properly understood,” Obama said in a statement.

The pipeline would travel through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma before reaching Texas.

Blanket joins Toy Hall of Fame Is Linus jumping for joy?

The blanket, an all-purpose plaything as well as a comfort for generations of thumb-suckers like Charlie Brown’s best friend in the “Peanuts” comic strip, landed Thursday in the National Toy Hall of Fame along with Hot Wheels and the dollhouse.

The trio take their places at The Strong, a children’s and cultural history museum in upstate New York, alongside 46 classics ranging from the bicycle, kite and teddy bear to Barbie, Jack-in-the-Box and Mr. Potato Head.

Curators said the blanket was a special addition in the spirit of two earlier inductees, the cardboard box and the stick. They praised its ability to serve either as recreational raw material or an accessory transformed in myriad ways by a child’s daydreams.

Having Metz as a teacher at Quail Run in the mid-1990s and then being a member on her sixth-grade teaching team at Hillcrest, Jessica Larsen nominated her for the award.

“I know from the experience as one of her students and as one of her colleagues how she makes a huge impact on everyone,” Larsen said. “She teaches the curriculum, but she obviously cares about all of her kids.”

Among Metz’s more notable achievements as a teacher was expanding on the idea of Italian Restaurant Day. Coinciding with the study of ancient Rome, the students “open” an Italian restaurant. They make

Local effects Lawrence resident Bill Simons, 69, described the Kansas ranking as horrific. “Those cuts are starting from a poor level to begin with,” he said.

Simons said he has howled about funding cuts and the closure of mental health services for years. That’s because those services saved his life.

He estimates he was hospitalized 50 times between 1984 and 2005. He received help at Topeka State Hospital and a mental health unit at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, which is no longer are available.

“To think about the quality of life I have today compared to where I was then. I was almost not human in some ways. I was just a terrified, curled up animal — out of control,” he said.

about people who have mental illness today.

“It’s sad. I can’t even put it into words. The inhumanity of it all,” he said by phone on Thursday. On Wednesday, he stood before 75 people and spoke against state funding cuts for mental health during a town hall meeting in downtown Lawrence.

Simons said he’s also grateful for the extensive treatment he received at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center over the years, and hopes it remains open.

Bert Nash CEO David Johnson said the center has lost about $1.5 million in funding — mostly state funding — during the past four years. He said the center is projecting a $200,000 deficit this year and about a $90,000 deficit next year.

“We’ve had to figure out how to keep our doors open and continue to serve the number of people we have and prepare for the future too,” he said.

Since spring, Bert Nash has cut 12 full- and part-time positions through attrition.

Bert Nash employees also are proposing more group therapy as opposed to individual therapy when appropriate.

“We are seeing about the same number of clients but the severity of problems has increased dramatically,” he said.

Bert Nash is looking to fill the funding gaps through donations and fundraising.

“We believe that our mis-

. sion is still important,” Johnson said. “In many places, they’ve stopped serving people without Medicaid. Here, what we try to do is to provide service to anybody who needs it, regardless of their payment source.”

Johnson said that when people don’t get mental health treatment, they often end up in emergency rooms, homeless shelters and jails.

Deeper cut The national NAMI report is based on data for nonMedicaid mental health services financed by state general funds through state mental health agencies.

Rick Cagan, executive director for NAMI Kansas, said the state funding cut is $38.2 million — triple the amount — when you factor in other state funding sources such Mental Health Reform grants, Medicaid, MediKan and the Community Support Medication Program.

The NAMI report also highlights the loss by Kansas in June of $87 million in “enhanced” federal matching funds under Medicaid that were part of economic stimulus legislation.

“The tragedy of this report is that Kansas is among a group of 10 states who have the deepest percentage reductions in mental health spending,” Cagan said.

“We’re leading the way to the bottom and putting our citizens at risk at a time when the need for mental health services is on the rise.”

Marines celebrate 236 years of Semper Fi

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Marines of the past, present and future congregated at the Dole Institute of Politics on Thursday to mark the 236th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps with cake, a video message from their commandant and a message from a fellow Marine.

A video message from the commandant of the Marine Corps highlighted the response of the Marines to the national crises at Pearl Harbor and the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

“It’s not a job, it’s not a career,” guest of honor Col. Mike McCoy, commander of the Marine Corps detachment at Fort Leavenworth, said of the Marine Corps. “It really is a passion.”

McCoy commands a group of Marines about the size of a platoon on an Army post that is about a couple of divisions strong. For 236 years, he said, the Marine Corps has stood ready when the nation is least ready to respond to a crisis. And they’ll continue to do that, he said.

In a cake-cutting ceremony — cut with a sword in the traditional fashion — cake was served first to the guest of honor, the Marine who enlisted the longest time ago (four men tied for the honor, all of whom entered the service in 1942) and then

the Marine who enlisted the most recently.

“This occurs everywhere,” said Erv Hodges, a former Lawrence mayor and retired lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps who helped organize the event.

It’s primarily a recognition of those who have gone before, and their sacrifices, he said, with a nod to the new generation of Marines. It’s also about the camaraderie among Marines and reinvigorating old relationships, he said.

“After all, the most important guy around is the guy beside you in some cases,” he said.

Jim Weaver, a Lawrence resident who served as a corporal in the Marines in Vietnam from 1966 to 1969, said that even though he served for a relatively short period of his life, the Corps had a tremendous impact on his life. He wore a shirt emblazoned with the familiar refrain, “Once a Marine, always a Marine.”

“There’s a huge spectrum of people that show up for this,” he said. “You’ve got everything from the highand-tights to the long-haired hippies. But we’ve all served, and it allows us to share something in common.”

In her classroom, Metz said, she tells her students as often as she can when they do good work. To have the same recognition from the district means a lot, she said after the ceremony.

“I believe in myself as a teacher, I love what I do and to know the district believes in me, to get that recognition ... to hear from your colleagues and administration that you are doing a good job, is a great feeling,” she said.

MARINES OF ALL AGES gathered Thursday at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics to celebrate the 236th anniversary of the U.S. Marines.

Q:

I was wondering how much candy the Lawrence dentist collected during its post-Halloween party?

A:

Kim Hill, clinic coordinator for Growing Smiles, said the clinic collected 672 pounds of candy during its party Nov. 3.

She said about 250 children participated. The candy will be shipped to troops serving overseas.

Last year, the event collected 500 pounds of candy.

suburban mall in southern Lawrence. The development proposal sparked opposition from political leaders concerned that the mall would damage downtown Lawrence. Cooley said he remembers then-City Manager Buford Watson asking him how the city could legally deny the project.

“I remember telling him that I had no idea,” Cooley said. “We flew by the seat of our pants. We couldn’t find a ruling that supported us, but we thought it was our city and we ought to be able to govern it.”

The city ultimately prevailed in the matter, and the case established significant precedent regarding a city’s ability to guide its growth through a strong comprehensive plan.

In the early 1990s, Cooley also defended the city in its

efforts to deny a for-profit hospital a permit to develop in the city after concerns were expressed it would damage the city’s not-forprofit hospital.

In both cases, the city ended up holding massive public hearings — the mall hearing was held in a packed junior high auditorium, and the hospital hearing was at the Holiday Inn Lawrence banquet room.

“I always felt those were good examples of how the city ought to do things,” Cooley said. “Government ought to be open and let the public really talk about the issues that are of an overwhelming importance to the public.”

Cooley will continue to serve through the end of the year. He said he plans to keep his law license, and may do occasional work on a contract basis for the city.

in contact with children.

“It’s designed to make sure that those who have the most contact with children, who are the likely ones to see the potential for abuse and neglect, report it,” SRS Secretary Rob Siedlecki said.

It includes doctors, nurses, dentists, optometrists, psychologists, social workers, therapists, counselors, teachers, school administrators, other school employees where the child attends, child care providers, firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency responders, court services officers, case managers and mediators.

While it’s clear that those working in schools are required to report child sexual abuse in Kansas, universities are in a grayer area.

Siedlecki said all academic institutions would fall under the mandated reporting law. But in a statement issued Thursday, Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said the law doesn’t cover institutions of higher education. However, she said KU is examining changes to its policies that would “codify that responsibility for our employees.”

“Beyond any legal responsibilities, we each have a moral obligation to look out for the safety of the other members of our community, especially when they are

to know if you don’t report something and follow up you could face serious penalties, including losing your job and prosecution,” Siedlecki said.

SRS has a 24-hour hot line (1-800-922-5330) for child abuse reports. Once SRS gets a report, its goal is to have an initial written assessment within the next half working day. Those are calls SRS takes seriously, Siedlecki said.

“Every adult has an obligation to prevent child abuse.

While protecting the child is part of the mission of SRS, preventing child abuse and neglect is part of everyone’s responsibility,” Siedlecki said. “No child deserves to be put through the trauma like they were in Pennsylvania.”

children,” Gray-Little said in a written statement.

Mandated reporting is even required for instances that usually fall under confidentiality agreements, such as those between a doctor and patient.

“You have to do it. The law makes you do it. So you are not going to be worried about other oaths or ethics or professionalism. It’s all about the protection of the child,” McGowan said.

Those who are mandated by law to report child sexual abuse and fail to do so could be charged with a misdemeanor, which comes with a fine of up to $1,000 and six months in jail. The firing of Paterno and other top university officials at Penn State drives home just how serious this law is, Siedlecki said.

65 years later, vet receives high school diploma

Place your bets! Tie the knot! Make a wish!

Today is the 11th day of the 11th month of 2011, and around the country, many people are planning to mark the triple convergence of 11s with a splash, hoping it will bring them good fortune or at least amuse them for a day.

Marjaneh Peyrovan, who just moved to New York, plans to buy 11 lottery tickets (each, of course, including the number 11). She will check out apartments she has been eyeing. And precisely at 11:11 a.m., she will walk into the office of Diane von Furstenberg, the fashion designer for whom she has long dreamed of working.

“People say on 11/11 things happen, things will come true,” she said. “You never know.”

Twins Betsy and Katie Overman of Madison, Wis., will celebrate their 11th birthdays with sweet bread topped with a buttercream number 11. Their mother, Julie Overman, plans to put 11 candles in their meals and snacks. And the twins will wear socks festooned with 11s.

“They also found the 11 date is supposed to be lucky for relationships, but they still think boys are gross,” their mother said.

In Atlantic City, N.J., some restaurants are advertising $11.11 meals and the Trump Taj Mahal is planning drawings every 11 minutes for up to $1,111. The Riverwind Casino is Norman, Okla., prepared for an onslaught of gamblers eager to roll the dice or dou-

“Gamblers are a superstitious bunch,” said Jack Parkinson, the casino’s general manager.

In Las Vegas, Clark County Clerk Diana Alba got ready for an onslaught of weddings, with some 3,200 applications already filled out, more than three times the normal number. She is expecting the number of couples to surpass the crowd on 08/08/08 and equal the throng on 10/10/10.

It may not, however, reach the turnout seen on July 7, 2007 — a date that consists of three lucky sevens.

“That was like the granddaddy of all dates,” Alba said.

Bryan Savage of Oklahoma City is among those tying the knot on 11-11. He said the number 11 is meaningful to him and his fiancée, Tara Melton, because his birthday is in November and they met in November.

“It’s just kind of cool and we didn’t really want Valentine’s Day or a holiday, but we just wanted something memorable,” he said.

Plus, he added, it will be easier to remember his anniversary.

Galen Freeman never had the chance to graduate with his Tonganoxie High School classmates.

Now, about 65 years later, he’s in a class of his own.

During a Veterans Day assembly on Thursday at THS, Freeman sat on stage with other local veterans who were being recognized for their military service.

Midway through the ceremony, Freeman, who left school his junior year in 1946 to join the Navy, was motioned to come off stage.

It was in a THS hallway that a school official told Freeman the assembly also was serving as a commencement ceremony for him. Given a red cap and gown, Freeman later walked through the THS performing arts center and on stage to receive his diploma.

“I was pretty emotional,” Freeman said about learning of his diploma.

Freeman, who also is the Tonganoxie VFW Post commander, earned his diploma thanks to the Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs. The commission sponsors Operation Recognition, which honors World War II and Korean War-era veterans who left school early to join the military.

Some of Freeman’s fellow VFW members got the ball rolling with the state commission, which then worked with Tonganoxie High School.

Principal Jamie Carlisle said Freeman’s diploma arrived Wednesday.

“This is one of the proud-

est moments I’ve been associated with,” Carlisle said before presenting Freeman with his honorary diploma.

Also on Freeman hand to congratulate Freeman were school board President Diane Truesdell and Superintendent Randy Weseman.

Freeman said he joined the Navy in February 1946 and was stationed in California and Alaska, as well as the Pacific Islands, including off the shore of Saipan where he assisted with ammunition cleanup following World War II. He served for two years in the Navy before returning home to Kansas.

His daughter, Lisa Powell, said it was fitting that her father received his diploma

Of course, with any graduation there has to be a party.

“Where’s the graduation party, Galen?” a relative asked.

“I don’t know,” Freeman replied. “You tell me.”

Operation Recognition is open to all honorably discharged veterans who served in World War II between Sept. 16, 1940, and Dec. 31, 1946, and Korean War veterans who served between June 27, 1950, and Jan. 31, 1955, who did not graduate from high school.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Putting a traditional turkey dinner on the table is going to be pricier this Thanksgiving.

The American Farm Bureau Federation reported Thursday that a meal with turkey and all the trimmings will cost about 13 percent more this year.

The trade group estimates a classic meal for 10 will cost $49.20 on average. That is $5.73 more than last year’s $43.47 average. The meal will cost less than $5 a person, but it’s still much more expensive than in years past.

The jump results from food makers and grocers raising their prices to cover higher commodity costs.

Nearly everything from cranberries to pumpkin pie is pricier this year, but the biggest hike is for the main course: A 16-pound turkey costs almost $4 more this year, at $21.57, according to the trade group.

The group surveyed prices in stores nationwide.

Greece, Italy turn to financial experts for way out of debt

By Frances D’emilio and Nicholas Paphitis Associated Press

ATHENS, GREECE — Europe’s financial crisis eased Thursday as Greece installed a respected economist to replace its prime minister and Italy appeared poised to do the same — both hoping that monetary experts can do better than the politicians who drove their nations so deeply into debt.

The announcement in Athens — coupled with the prospect that volatile Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi will be ushered out soon — quieted market fears, at least for now, that turmoil in Europe could threaten the global economy.

But significant challenges remain in both debt-heavy Mediterranean countries.

Greece’s new prime minister, Lucas Papademos, a former vice president of the European Central Bank, must quickly secure the crucial loan installment without which his country will go bankrupt before Christmas, and approve the EU’s $177 billion bailout deal.

In Italy, lawmakers have to pass new austerity measures over the next few days.

However, expectations that respected economist Mario Monti will lead an interim technocratic government after Berlusconi goes helped lift the gloom.

Italy’s borrowing costs shot up alarmingly Wednesday to 7.4 percent on fears that Berlusconi would linger in office. But the markets

calmed Thursday when it appeared that Italian lawmakers would approve the latest government austerity plans in the next few days and Berlusconi would resign after that.

Monti, 68, now heads Milan’s Bocconi University, but he made his reputation as the European Union competition commissioner who blocked General Electric’s takeover of Honeywell.

European stock markets rose on the twin Greek and Italian developments, while in the U.S. the Dow Jones industrial average was up 113 points, or 1 percent, a day after shedding nearly 400 points. The euro was also in demand, trading 0.5 percent higher at $1.3609.

Still, the European Union warned that the 17-nation eurozone could slip back into “a deep and prolonged” recession next year amid the debt crisis. The European Commission predicted the eurozone will grow a pallid 0.5 percent in 2012 — much less than its earlier forecast of 1.8 percent. EU unemployment was forecast to be stuck at 9.5 percent.

Europe has already bailed out Greece, Portugal and Ireland — but together they make up only about 6 percent of the eurozone’s economic output, in contrast to Italy’s 17 percent. Italy, the eurozone’s third-largest economy, is considered too big for Europe to bail out. It has a mountain of debt — $2.6 trillion — and a substantial portion of that needs to be refinanced in the next few years.

Dole an ambassador to veterans

By Lisa Walton

WASHINGTON — As an aide grabbed the back of his belt to steady him, former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole stood before the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., and greeted a group of veterans. He offered his left hand for them to shake. His right arm, as many Kansans know, has been paralyzed since 1945, a casualty of the war fought by him and the veterans he greeted.

Dole, 88, often spends his Saturdays greeting World War II veterans from across the country. The veterans fly to the capital for free, through an organization Dole helped make possible. They come to see a memorial he helped raise money to build.

“It means a lot to me to be out here,” Dole said. He has two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts. Dole, who has had knee and hip replacements, leaned crookedly as veterans in wheelchairs and those using canes lined up around him for pictures and handshakes.

“Look at these young guys over here. Come on over for a picture,” Dole said.

He is chairman of the World War II monument.

He, along with co-chairman Frederick W. Smith, led the funding campaign.

“Thank you for your service, and welcome to your

service. In 1942 at the age of 24, she enlisted as a nurse.

The native of Colby already had two brothers serving, one in the Signal Corps and the other in the Navy.

“They needed nurses, so I enlisted,” she said.

Her first tour of duty sent her to the remote Umnak Island, which during the war housed an Army Air Force base in the Aleutian archipelago. In 1944, she was assigned to a field hospital attached to Gen. George Patton’s army in Europe, where she served until the war ended. The field hospital was housed in tents, which didn’t have the best lighting.

“When you got ready to do an IV you had to be good,” Poole said with a chuckle.

After the war, she stayed in Germany caring for patients who couldn’t yet travel. She later was stationed in France near the Spanish border and had the chance to travel.

When Poole was discharged in 1947, she returned to Colby, where she worked at a doctor’s office. Compared with her experience during the war, the job was a simple one, she said. Her nursing career lasted for more than 40 years.

“Medicine itself learned at lot during the war,” she said.

It was in Colby where she crossed paths with Rufus Poole, a deep-sea diver and Navy veteran who was visiting a buddy who happened to be her neighbor. They married, remained in Colby and had two children.

A visit to Arlington Thirty years ago, the Pooles took a trip to Washington, D.C. Among the places the couple visited were the rolling hills of the Arling-

Special to the Journal-World

FORMER U.S. SEN. BOB DOLE, R-KAN., center, greets Honor Flight veterans at the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. monument,” a greeter said as he welcomed the veterans to the memorial. With World War II veterans aging and dying, many will never hear those words.

Honor Flights Network is working to change that.

Since 2005, the network has flown more than 60,000 veterans into the nation’s capital to see their memorial.

More than 400 veterans have been flown into D.C. through Rocky Mountain Honor Flights, which finished its 11th trip in October. President Mary Haddon said the flights, funded through private donations, take about 35 veterans to the capital three to four times a year.

There are 200 names on

the waiting list.

Rocky Mountain Honor Flights is one of more than 100 hubs in the Honor Flights Network.

Retired Air Force Capt.

Earl Morse conceived the network in 2005. As a physician assistant he saw that because of financial, mental and physical constraints, flying to see the memorial was not a reality for many veterans.

Dole is an honorary adviser for the organization.

And if he’s in Washington when Honor Flights land, he comes to meet the veterans.

He has been to the memorial more than 140 times since it opened in 2004. The one year he missed, he was in the hospital.

HONOR FLIGHTS

At first, cemetery staff directed them to a Rufus Poole who was buried not too far from where the group was watching the Changing of the Guard ceremony. But that turned out to be the grave of a Civil War veteran.

“I was afraid I’d break the dear lady’s heart,” Spencer said of having to deliver the news to Poole.

Then they realized that because Rufus Poole was cremated, his memorial marker would be in the part of the cemetery that housed the columbarium. As the rest of the group visited a memorial to female veterans at the cemetery, Edna and Kevin Poole and Spencer took a taxi cab to the columbarium to see Rufus Poole’s marker.

“It was the highlight of the trip,” Spencer said.

Brian Spencer has gone on more than a dozen Honor Flights.

As Lyndon school district superintendent, he has also organized trips involving student guardians.

Spencer thinks it would be great if there were an Honor Flights hub in Lawrence to help veterans make the trip.

Until then, he recommends those interested in contributing to the organization or making a trip to contact him at 785-828-3294.

There are five hubs in Kansas, and the closest ones are in Lyndon and Holton. There is also a Kansas City, Mo., hub. ton National Cemetery. The two were impressed with the well-kept burial grounds.

When Rufus Poole died in 1985, the family sent his cremated remains there.

While Edna Poole’s children have visited the World War II Memorial, she hadn’t done so. Kevin Poole said that as his mother grew older, she was having trouble walking and knew a trip to Arlington National Cemetery needed to happen soon. The Honor Flight and the assistance it provided seemed to be a great way to bring her to D.C. “I was interested in it as soon as I learned about it,” Poole said. “You get to tour Arlington, and I hadn’t gone there when my husband died.”

Many of the Honor Flights out of Kansas don’t include an overnight stay in D.C. But because this trip did, the organizers were able to tack on a visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

It was there that Spencer, who is a board member of the national Honor Flight Network, began to track down Rufus Poole’s ashes.

He asked Poole if she would like to visit her husband’s final resting place.

“She said if ‘I could see that, it would be the best thing in the world,’ ” Spencer said.

‘Rock star’ status While the visit to Arlington was what drew Poole to the Honor Flight, she cites the experience — from the moment she got on the bus at 3 a.m. in Overbrook — as a highlight.

What mattered most to his mother and other veterans, Kevin Poole noted, was the recognition they received for their service. “It’s like you’re a rock star,” he said.

On the way to D.C., the pilot made sure to alert passengers that special guests were onboard. When the Honor Flight landed, a fire truck sprayed water in the air to honor the arriving dignitaries. A man was playing a trumpet as they walked into the airport terminal and others were waving flags and cheering.

“When they get off the plane and hear the clapping, they are looking around to see who the important people are. Then they realize it is for them,” Spencer said of the veterans’ reactions. “The old guys begin marching pretty straight. And they go back to being 25-year-old soldiers for

Guardians make the trips possible. Guardians — Honor Flight volunteers — often pay their own way and care for the veterans throughout the trip.

One of them is Joyce Davis, a floating guardian from Greensboro, N.C. She’s about as old as the two veterans in her care: James Nance, 88, from the 36th Army Infantry, and William D. Bowman, 86, who served as a supply technician for the Army Air Corps. Both are in wheelchairs.

This visit to the memorial was the second for Bowman, who volunteered for the war when he was 18 and was stationed in England.

“I started home in 1946,” Bowman said. “I was glad to see the Statue of Liberty when we came in.”

Davis said she’s been to the memorial many times.

“In fact, June of a year ago I brought my husband up here on a veterans appreciation tour,” Davis said. Her husband, a wounded prisoner of war, was the special guest of U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., during the dedication of the memorial in May 2004.

Davis’ husband died last May. “I’m doing this kind of as a memorial to him,” she said.

— Lisa Walton is a journalism student at Metropolitan State College of Denver. She was with a social documentary class when she interviewed Sen. Bob Dole.

just a little while.”

At the World War II monument, the veterans were given medals, posed for pictures and shook hands with former U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole. Her husband, former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, usually greets the veterans, but he had medical appointments that day.

Other small details made the veterans feel important as they toured the monuments of the city, Poole said. There were always folks waiting to help them onto and out of buses. They had wheelchairs for those who needed them and meals at the ready.

“I would recommend this trip to every veteran,” she said. “It’s an indescribable honor to go.”

oday is Veterans Day and, in honor of the occasion, the U.S. Census Bureau compiled some interesting facts about the nation’s veterans.

The 2010 Census recorded 21.8 million veterans in the United States, of which 1.6 million were female. Of the total, 2.4 million were black, 1.2 million Hispanic, 265,000 Asian, 156,000 American Indian or Alaska Native, and 28,000 native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Nine million were older than 65; 1.7 million were younger than 35.

These veterans have many reasons to be proud. As of 2010, a whopping 92 percent of veterans over 25 had a high school diploma, compared with 86 percent of the nation’s population as a whole; 26 had at least a bachelor’s degree, which is close to the national figure of 28 percent.

When it comes to voting, veterans put the rest of the nation to shame. Overall voter turnout for the 2008 presidential election was 64 percent, but turnout among U.S. veterans was 71 percent. In the 2010 congressional elections, 57 percent of veterans voted, compared with 44 percent of nonveterans.

Those numbers seem to indicate that serving in the nation’s military Although the VA gives citizens a better understanding of how indicated that precious the right to the numbers of vote is. homeless veterU.S. veterans also ans had dropped have some challenges.

Not veterans were only are many veterhomeless on any ans in modern wars surviving injuries that given night in would have been fatal America. in earlier conflicts, but there also is a greater recognition of mental disabilities, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, which can be as debilitating as a physical injury.

Another statistic wasn’t included in the Census fact sheet but was part of a report from the Department of Veterans Affairs last summer. Although the VA indicated that the numbers of homeless veterans had dropped significantly since 2009, it still estimated in July that 75,700 U.S. veterans were homeless on any given night in America. We don’t know how many of those homeless vets may be in Lawrence, but it’s something to think about as the Lawrence Community Shelter continues its fund drive for a new location on the east edge of the city.

A number of commentators have observed that in recent years the majority of Americans have become increasingly insulated from the U.S. military. As the nation has shifted to an all-volunteer force, many Americans have no close relatives serving in the military. Military service often attracts people from lower socioeconomic levels who may not have as many training or employment options.

On Veterans Day 2011, it’s worth remembering that the people serving in the U.S. military are a lot like all of the rest of us, except that they have stepped up to fill vital roles in the defense of our nation and accept all of the personal risks that go with that duty. That makes them pretty special and certainly worthy of some special recognition on the day established in their honor.

The 2011 elections: a split decision WASHINGTON — The 2011 offyear elections are a warning to Republicans. The 2010 party is over. 2012 will be a struggle.

To be sure, Tuesday was not exactly the Democrats’ night.

They did enjoy one big victory, repeal of government-worker reform in Ohio. But elsewhere, they barely held their own. The bigger news was the absence of any major Republican trend.

The great Republican resurgence of 2009-10 has slowed to a crawl.

On Tuesday, Ohio was the bellwether. Voters decisively voted down the Republicans’ newly enacted, Wisconsin-like rollback of public-sector workers’ benefits and bargaining rights. True, it took a $30 million union campaign that outspent the other side 3-to-1. True, repeal only returns labor relations to the status quo ante. And true, Ohio Republicans, unlike Wisconsin’s, made a huge tactical error by including police and firefighters in the rollback, opening themselves to a devastating they-saved-my-grandchild ad campaign. Nevertheless, the unions won. And they won big.

And yet in another referendum, that same Ohio electorate rejected the central plank of Obamacare — the individual mandate — by an overwhelming 2-to-1 margin. Never mind that this ballot measure has no practical effect, federal law being supreme. Its political effect is unmistakable. Finally given the chance to vote against Obamacare, swing-state Ohio did so by a 31-point landslide.

Interesting split: Ohio protects traditional union rights, while telling an overreaching

Nothing is written.

Contrary to the condescending conventional wisdom, the American electorate is no angry herd, prepared to stampede on the command of today’s most demagogic populist.”

Washington to lay off its health care arrangements. Indeed, there were splits everywhere. In this year’s gubernatorial elections, both parties held serve: Democrats retained West Virginia and Kentucky; Republicans retained Louisiana and Mississippi.

This kind of status quo ticketsplitting firmly refutes the lazy conventional narrative of an angry electorate seething with anti-incumbency fervor. In New Jersey, for example, with two races still too close to call, every one of the 65 Assembly incumbents seeking re-election was returned to office.

Even Virginia, which moved to near-complete Republican control, is a cautionary tale.

Republicans won six House of Delegates seats, giving them an unprecedented two-thirds ma-

jority. However, they had hoped to win outright control of the Senate. They needed three seats.

They won only two, one by 86 votes. (Recount to come.)

Not a good night for Virginia Democrats. But compared to the great 2009-10 pendulum swing that obliterated them (in a state Barack Obama carried in 2008), 2011 represents something of a reprieve.

The larger narrative is clear: American politics are, as always, inherently cyclical. Despite the occasional euphoria, nothing lasts. First comes the great Democratic comeback of 2006 and 2008, leading an imprudent James Carville to declare the beginning of a 40-year liberal ascendancy.

He was off by only 38. The fall began almost immediately.

Within a year, Democrats were defeated in the off-year elections in Virginia, New Jersey and, most shockingly, Massachusetts, where they lost the sacred “Kennedy seat.”

The slide continued with the Democrats’ 2010 midterm “shellacking,” as Obama called it. With high unemployment, massive discontent — three-fourths of Americans saying we’re on “the wrong track” — and a flailing presidency, Republicans have been flirting with Carvillian straight-line projections. A one-term presidency, exults Michele Bachmann: “The cake is baked.”

Hardly. Tuesday showed that the powerful Republican tailwind of 2010 (I prefer nonculinary metaphors) is now becalmed. Between now and November 2012, things can break either way.

They have already been

breaking every which way. In this year’s congressional special elections resulting from the resignation of scandal-embroiled incumbents, New York-26, traditionally conservative, went Democratic; New York-9, forever Democratic, went Republican. Add now the four evenly split gubernatorial races and Ohio’s split decision on its two highly ideological initiatives — and you approach equipoise.

Nothing is written. Contrary to the condescending conventional wisdom, the American electorate is no angry herd, prepared to stampede on the command of today’s most demagogic populist. Mississippi provided an exemplary case of popular sophistication — it defeated a state constitutional amendment declaring that personhood begins at fertilization. Voters were concerned about the measure’s ambiguity (which would grossly empower unelected judges) and its myriad unintended consequences (regarding, for example, infertility treatment and life-threatening ectopic pregnancies). Remarkably, this rejection was carried out by an electorate decidedly pro-life.

And smart. So too across the nation, as we saw Tuesday.

This is no disoriented, easily led citizenry. On the contrary.

It is thoughtful and discriminating. For Republicans, this means there is no coasting to victory, 9 percent unemployment or not.

They need substance. They need an articulate candidate with an agenda and command of the issues who is light on slogans and lighter still on baggage.

Record lows had greeted early risers in Lawrence this morning. The YEARS official temperaAGO ture of 7 degrees IN 1986 had shattered the previous Nov. 11 low of 12 degrees, which had been set in 1911. Those getting on the road this morning had to contend with “frozen car doors, low batteries, sluggish engines and icy windows.” The city had also received 2.1 inches of snow.

The nearby city of Olathe had already collected $1,500 in a drive to YEARS raise funds to bring AGO all their military IN 1971 personnel home for Christmas. Twelve names had been submitted to the campaign, compared with eight the previous year.

PUBLIC FORUM

DST scam To the editor: This last weekend our entire nation of citizens, except those in Arizona, complied with the Washington directive to change all of our clocks for the second time this year. Those who have computers with obsolete operating systems may have had to change those clocks four times already because Congress likes to tinker with time-change dates in this law that now conflict with the older programmed computer clocks. We are told that this daylight saving act is in the name of saving energy. Baloney! This act has nothing to do with saving energy. It has to do with the power of a few politicians in Washington requiring the entire population of the United States, except those in Arizona, to all comply by doing something that doesn’t really make sense.

The only savings that I witness every year with this savings act is the saving of one hour per year of wear and tear on the movement bearings in my mechanical pendulum clocks when I stop them for one hour every fall to comply with this idiotic time change.

Climate costs

Health Affairs looked at the cost of human suffering and loss of life due to six weather-related disasters in the U.S. from 2000 to 2009 and placed those losses at $14 billion.

Plus, with over a month of the year remaining, the U.S. has tied its yearly record for billion-dollar weather disasters, and the cumulative tab from those floods, tornadoes and heat waves has hit $35 billion. This is according to the National Weather Service.

Thus I think it’s costing the U.S. dearly to avoid creating several hundreds of thousands, or perhaps even millions, of new jobs in the clean-energy industry. These jobs would be jobs that I believe could be created if the U.S. declared war on climate change that weather scientists say tends to either produce or make stronger many of the extreme weather disasters.

Why do we do this? Answer: Because the fossil fuel and power generation industry holds our elected representatives in Washington (and here in Kansas) in the palm of its hand with the power of the money it extracts from we, the American people.

Les Blevins, Lawrence

Haves, have-nots

To the editor: Flat Earth report. For you who To the editor: do not remember my past letters Lawrence has not fared so on Flat Earth, Flat Earth is inhabbadly, but a study in the journal ited by two extremist groups, the

“haves,” who are 15 percent of the population and control 85 percent of the wealth and the “havenots,” who are the other 85 percent of the population and share the other 15 percent of the wealth.

Over the years, since the creation of Flat Earth, there has been an ongoing economic cool war between the “haves” and “havenots.” The “haves” took wealth from the “have-nots” by creating inflated loans on property so that they could earn inflated profits and then take the equity and property back by foreclosure. This created an economic crisis that the “haves” used to get a majority in one branch of government. This gave the “haves” a taste of power, and now they want to take control of the government and use the government in the cool war to take control of more of the wealth that the “have-nots” share.

The economic crisis caused 10 percent unemployment among the “have-nots,” so they are trying to have a movement to regain social equality. The “haves” have passed laws to prevent the “havenots” from registering to vote. I will report again after the next election when I find out if the “have-nots” turned out and voted for shared government or if the “haves” took control and are deporting the unemployed and others who do not have wealth that they can take.

Are you registered to vote?

Jim Turrentine, Lawrence

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Nov. 11, 1911: YEARS “11-11-11.

No, AGO that is not a set of IN 1911 signals for a football game, or the mysterious combination that is the key to a game, but that was the way you wrote the date today on your letters, was it not?

Surely for this was the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year 1911. Next year this peculiar thing will happen again when on the 12th of December, this will be the correct dating: 12-12-12.

But no one living at the present probably will be alive to hear the same thing after next year, for what reason you say? Because the combination can not occur again until 2001. He who lives that long will have the distinction of being a very aged person indeed, breaking all world’s records. But in the first of 2001, one may write it 1-1-1.”

Emporia State to expand scholarships EMPORIA (AP) — Emporia State University has announced plans to increase the scholarships it offers by $7.5 million over the next five years to help freshmen and transfer students.

The plan was announced Wednesday by the university and the private, nonprofit Emporia State Foundation. It takes effect next fall and will more than double the amount of scholarship money available to students.

University officials say the program will let incoming freshmen claim scholarships of $1,000 to $3,600 a year, based on past academic performance. Transfer students will be eligible for scholarships ranging from $1,600 to $3,000.

Also, scholarships for freshmen can be renewed for up to eight semesters, based on academic performance. Transfer students will be able to renew theirs for up to four semesters.

Best Bets

Lucinda Williams There are far too many good things happening in our lovely town tonight for just one little Best Bet, which is why you should visit Lawrence.com for more of them. In the meantime, there are two big music events in town tonight worth your time — Eleven Productions’ 11.11.11 music festival and Lucinda Williams. For the sake of brevity and because 11.11.11 features a bunch of bands across multiple venues, let’s focus on Lucinda, the altcountry songstress whose work has been an inspiration for years to anyone on the business end of a bad break-up or anyone who favors hard-living, direct country music that hits like a shot of bourbon. Williams’ recent albums have featured a more overt blues reference than her earlier work, which is a welcome addition. Williams live on stage is something akin to a conjurer.

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Back in the game

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

What if ... the twins stayed?

No other two-letter word that says nothing real has inspired so many words written about it as “if.”

Rudyard Kipling penned the best in his signature poem “If,” which starts, “If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you ...”

Coaches and baseball managers generally hate questions that begin with “if” because it often means a hypothetical follows.

“If,” Tommy Lasorda routinely snarled. “If a bullfrog had wings, it could fly.”

Good point. Additionally, if the queen refused to stop to ask for directions even if it meant driving aimlessly for hours, fired a sexual thought every seven seconds and hogged the TV remote, she would be the king.

Put the word “what” in front of “if” and it becomes even more meaningless. What’s the point in wasting time on “What if?” “What if I won the lottery?”

First purchase: the Batmobile, behind the wheel of which I could bomb around the streets of Lawrence, hoping not to get flagged for speeding by the cop parked at the bottom of the hill heading east-bound on Ninth Street, just east of Iowa.

But just this once, indulge me in “What if,” before Kansas University’s basketball season starts, and I promise to leave it alone forever.

What if Marcus and Markieff Morris had decided to return for their senior years for fear the NBA lockout would keep them idle for too long?

Before considering what that would have meant to KU’s chances of winning an eighth consecutive Big 12 title, look at what it would have done for the twins’ development. For a young basketball player, every day not spent getting better is a day spent getting worse. No matter what individual workouts or scrimmages athletes engage in — regardless of the strength of the competition — nothing substitutes for being pushed with peers by a coaching staff and competing for a team. Plus, Marcus Morris could have used this season to show off his perimeter skills.

The problem with this scenario is that it can apply to a number of schools that lost players early to last year’s NBA Draft. Suspend that reality and go with the fantasy, just this once. The starting five for today’s 7 p.m. opening tip against Towson: Tyshawn Taylor, Elijah Johnson, Marcus Morris, Thomas Robinson, Markieff Morris. Fast, big, experienced, explosive and skilled. Coming off the bench: Travis Releford, Jeff Withey, Naadir Tharpe, Conner Teahan. An answer for every need.

That lineup would ensure KU entering the NCAA Tournament as a No. 1 seed for the fifth time in six seasons, numbers of fantasy. That just doesn’t happen. Not for Duke. Not for North Carolina. Not for UConn.

Not for Michigan State. Not for UCLA. Not for anybody.

Kansas enters this rebuilding season ranked No. 13. Come to think of it, who needs to ask “What if” to enjoy it?

Starters Taylor, Johnson to return tonight in opener

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Sitting out a pair of exhibition games as penalty for violating team rules proved painful for Kansas University combo guard Elijah Johnson.

“Seeing my teammates come out of that tunnel,” the 6-foot-4, 195-pound junior said Thursday outside the northwest tunnel of Allen Fieldhouse, asked to identify the worst aspect of missing blowout victories over Pittsburg State and Fort Hays State.

“I was a teammate, but it was more so me being a fan. It’s tough to sit over there (in street clothes on bench) and be able to do nothing except voice your opinion about what is going on the floor,” Johnson added.

He and senior point guard Tyshawn Taylor — who is also coming off a two-game banishment — will start in the backcourt today against Towson in the 7 p.m., regular-season opener for both teams.

“It just sucks not being a part of your team ... where you have to be on the second squad at practice sometimes because you know you are not going to play in the

game,” Taylor said. “Things like that just kind of suck, but it really didn’t kill me. My team played really well both games. We improved game to game, which is good.”

The Jayhawks annihilated both the Gorillas (84-55 on Nov. 1) and Tigers (101-52 on Tuesday), preHAPPY ceding tonight’s NEW YEAR opener which features an oddWhat: Kansas ity — Taylor and men’s basketball Johnson in the regular-season same game-day opener backcourt.

TV: KSMO/CBS You’ve got to (Knology Cable see the rest tochannels 3, 13, morrow,” John203, 213) son said Thursday, asked what to expect with him and Taylor starting the offense. “Faster than you can probably imagine it being,” he added with a smile.

first four-year starter since Aaron Miles (2001-05). Johnson enters ready to shed his super-sub role.

“This is his chance. It’s his time.

It’s the time he’s been waiting for, a position he’s wanted to be in since he came in,” Taylor said.

“Now he’s getting his chance. I’m sure he’s really excited. I mean, I would be if I was him.”

Needless to say, Johnson is raring to go.

“I can’t explain how excited I am. Since high school (Las Vegas Cheyenne High) I’ve been waiting on this moment, and it’s finally here,” he said.

He has started eight of 59 games in his two-year KU career, not that many for a guy ranked No. 24 nationally in the Class of 2009.

“It never was a big deal. If it was, I’d be complaining about

starting since my freshman year,” Johnson said. “But just knowing you could be the person to set the base or the tempo ... If we start out down eight points, I know it’s my fault. If we start out up 10 points, I know I had something to do with that. Everybody is waiting on the first five, and you have to be the one to step up. The fans, the coaches, the team ... everyone is waiting on you to set the pace, and it’s comfortable to know I can be one of those five people now.”

Just as Johnson was mentored by elder teammates in the past, he now will assist a rookie — freshman backup point guard Naadir Tharpe.

“I told him, ‘Just don’t play dumb,’’’ Johnson said. “When I say play dumb, I don’t mean as far as skills, I mean, ‘Don’t act dumb on the court. You know what to do. Stop asking so many questions You understand that game. Have fun. You know what you need to know ... now just go have fun.’”

Taylor and Johnson are ready to have some fun after sitting two games in the penalty box.

Jayhawks aware of Baylor QB Griffin’s speed

“

Barfield

play with the Jayhawks during dynasty mode on the popular NCAA Football 12 video game, his team of choice for online battles and one-game scenarios is KU’s opponent this weekend — Baylor.

There’s one reason, and his name is Robert Griffin III. “I know what he can do,” joked Barfield of the Bears’ dynamic quarterback, who ranks second in the nation in total offense.

“I’ve played against him before, and I know his capabilities.”

With Barfield being somewhat of an expert on all things RG3, he seemed like the obvious choice to answer the question of which version is better, the real life Griffin or the EA Sports clone?

KU seniors, the expected emotions of the day actually have had a bigger impact on several KU underclassmen.

“We don’t want to send those guys out of here with a loss,” sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon said. “It’s big to them, so in turn that makes it big to us.”

Asked what he would remember most about the senior class, Patmon pointed to the members’ ability to teach.

“It’s a class full of great leaders,” he said. “When I was a Sue Ogrocki/AP Photo freshman, I learned a lot from BAYLOR QUARTERBACK ROBERT GRIFFIN III (10) THROWS against those guys that are graduating Oklahoma State on Oct. 29. Griffin will face Kansas on Saturday. right now.”

Proposal in NBA playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hands NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A 72-game season starting Dec. 15 is there for NBA players. All they have to do is say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to a revised proposal.

If not, they get a far harsher offer, and then who knows if there would even be an NBA season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would not presume to project or predict what the union would do,â&#x20AC;? Commissioner David Stern said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can hope, and my hope is that the events of next week will lead us to a 72-game schedule starting on Dec. 15.â&#x20AC;?

The league presented the playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association with the new offer Thursday after nearly 11 hours of bargaining, hoping it would be enough to end the lockout. But

union president Derek Fisher said it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address all the necessary system issues that are important to the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does not meet us entirely on the system issues that we felt were extremely important to try and close this thing out, and so at this point weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to end things for now, take a step back,â&#x20AC;?

Fisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go back as an executive committee, as a board, confer with our player reps and additional players over the next few days. Then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make decisions about what our next steps will be at that point.â&#x20AC;?

And that could include disbanding the union, too.

Union executive director Billy

Hunter said the hope was to get the player reps to New York for a meeting by Monday or Tuesday, then discuss whether the new proposal was good enough to present to the full membership for a vote.

They can say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;no,â&#x20AC;? but they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother asking for another meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There comes a time when you have to be through negotiating, and we are,â&#x20AC;? Stern said.

Stern said if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another bargaining meeting, it would be off the proposal in waiting: a 5347 split of revenues in the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favor, a flex cap with a hard ceiling and salary rollbacks.

That leaves the union to decide

COMMENTARY

Penn State should cancel Neb. game

Venezuelan authorities search for Ramos CARACAS, VENEZUELA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Venezuelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government said Thursday it has sent its top investigators to solve the kidnapping of Washington Nationals catcher Wilson Ramos, a case that has shaken the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite athletes and focused attention on the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharp rise in kidnappings for ransom.

Police found the kidnappersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vehicle abandoned in a nearby town Thursday morning, said Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami, who called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very important find.â&#x20AC;?

He said anti-kidnapping units led by â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best investigators we haveâ&#x20AC;? were dispatched to the area in central Carabobo state and he vowed to rescue Ramos and capture his abductors.

The 24-year-old player, who had just finished his rookie season, was just outside the front door at his home in the town of Santa Ines on Wednesday night when an SUV approached, armed men got out â&#x20AC;&#x153;and they took him away,â&#x20AC;? said Ramosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; agent, Gustavo Marcano.

He is one of dozens of Venezuelans in the major leagues, and some of their families already have been targeted in a rising wave of kidnappings affecting the wealthy.

Joe Paterno will not be in Beaver Stadium on Saturday.

No one else should be there, either.

The Penn State board of trustees, like so many others in the scandal of silence that has engulfed the university, did the bare minimum on Wednesday by firing coach Joe Paterno and school president Graham Spanier. Choosing which cuff links to wear to the meeting was a more difficult decision for them than that.

They stopped short of presenting tangible evidence that they consider the horror that took place on campus to be more important than a football game.

There should be no cheering on Saturday. There should be silence in the enormous concrete and steel edifice built to deify a program that has now been revealed as a false god. Tell the people not to come. Tell them there is nothing here to glorify. Encourage them to spend the fall afternoon with their children.

That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, and the people involved can invent a thousand plausibly correct reasons for why Penn State should play Nebraska on Saturday. They can cite fairness to the players, to the fans, to the spirit of competition, to whatever shredded hope there is that life should continue just as if nothing has happened.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all garbage, and it proves that the people in charge up there still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it. They still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand that, even at Penn State, even now, the football program shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the main focus of everything. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how they got into this mess. Football ran the university, and now it is running it into the ground.

Board of trustees vice chair John P. Surma, who announced the firings Wednesday, said the board would act quickly to respond further to a situation that â&#x20AC;&#x153;is not in the best interests of the university.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current situation weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in, which has its roots within a certain organization within the university, is not in the best interest,â&#x20AC;? Surma said.

A certain organization? It was as if he was referring to an underground cult that had brought this shame upon the school, a chapter of the Klan or neo-Nazis or something. It is almost incomprehensible that this is the point that has been reached.

The football program has been one of the greatest sources of pride on this campus, and now the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trustees will not even speak its name. A certain organization.

Surma, the chairman and chief executive officer of U.S. Steel, donated $5 million in 2010 to endow a deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair in the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school of business. The other members of the board all seem to be solid, well-meaning men and women as well. What they have wrestled with this week has been difficult for them all, but the board is still in denial, still practicing damage control.

They missed the opportunity to prove this will be something more than business as usual. In silent honor to all the rape victims who suffered because the moral compass within the football program was broken, the stadium should be empty on Saturday.

if it could persuade its members to accept the revised offer. The league has been willing to offer a 50-50 split of basketball-related income, and Stern said the proposal put in play Thursday night attempted to meet the union on its system issues.

Hunter provided only one specific change, allowing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;miniâ&#x20AC;? midlevel exception for teams over the luxury tax to be for three years at $3 million a year, as opposed to two years at $2.5 annually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the greatest proposal in the world, but I have an obligation to at least present it to our membership, and so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said.

Royals donate 10K to museum KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Kansas City Royals have donated $10,000 to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in support of a Buck Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil centennial celebration.

The museum is attempting to raise

$100,000 for the museum and the future Buck Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil Education and Research Center, named after the late Negro Leagues star who would have celebrated his 100th birthday on Sunday.

TENNIS

Djokovic advances to quarters PARIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Top-ranked Novak Djokovic rallied from a set down to beat fellow Serb Viktor Troicki 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 on Thursday and reach the Paris Masters quarterfinals.

Andy Murray of Britain, Roger Federer of Switzerland, the Czech Republicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tomas Berdych, David Ferrer of Spain and Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jo-Wilfried Tsonga also advanced.

GOLF

Woods finally back in the lead SYDNEY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tiger Woods topped the leaderboard for the first time in nearly a year after a 5-under 67 early today in the Australian Open.

Woods ran off a string of impressive shots, was at 9-under 135 and had a one-shot lead over Peter Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley.

If it holds through the afternoon, it would be the first time Woods has led after a round since the third round of the Chevron World Challenge last December. And it would be the first time he has led after a round in a fullevent event since his last victory two years ago this week in the Australian Masters.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Questions remain at Penn St. STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) — Just because Joe Paterno is gone doesn’t mean the child sex abuse scandal at Penn State is over.

The Nittany Lions started life without the 84-year-old Paterno on Thursday, introducing interim coach Tom Bradley while the board of trustees was just beginning its formal investigation.

“We’re obviously in a very unprecedented situation,” said Bradley, who was Paterno’s lead assistant for the last 11 seasons. “I have to find a way to restore the confidence.”

Many questions remained unanswered — from how much Paterno actually knew to whether there will be any repercussions for assistant coach Mike McQueary, who told Paterno but not police about seeing former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky in a shower with a young boy in 2002.

The campus was calm Thursday, after thousands of angry students paraded through the streets, some throwing rocks and bottles and tipping over a television news van.

The school said Thursday night that there had been “multiple threats” against McQueary, now the team’s receivers coach, and he would not attend Saturday’s home finale against Nebraska “in the best interest of all.”

Paterno was fired Wednesday night, effective immediately, just hours after the coach had announced that he would retire at the end of the season.

Gov. Tom Corbett arrived Thursday in advance of today’s previously scheduled trustees meeting and told reporters that he supported the decision to oust college football’s winningest coach and university President Graham Spanier because they didn’t do enough to alert law enforcement authorities.

“Their actions caused me to not have confidence in their ability to continue to

Top-ranked teams’ coaches share roots at Oklahoma St. STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — If the national championship game were played today, it would be Les Miles’ current team against the one he helped put on the path to the BCS. Miles has already taken LSU to one national championship, and he’s leading the pack on the way to another after beating Alabama last week. The team that is right behind his top-ranked Tigers in the BCS standings is none other than Oklahoma State.

Miles spent four seasons at OSU, pulling off two big upsets in the Bedlam rivalry against Oklahoma and starting some upward momentum. He also brought current coach Mike Gundy back into the fold as his offensive coordinator.

If both keep winning, the former colleagues will face off in the BCS title game in January.

Miles “If he’s t h e r e , ” Gundy said, “I sure hope I get the chance.”

Neither coach is all that comfortable at this point Gundy talking about the possibilities of meeting two months from now at the Superdome for all the marbles.

Each still has three regularseason games left, the last against a top 10 opponent, and the Tigers would also have to get through the SEC championship game.

The ties between Miles and Gundy date to 1995, when Miles came to Oklahoma State as Bob Simmons’ offensive coordinator and had Gundy — who was on the previous staff and spent

Friday, November 11, 2011

“

He kind of got the ball rolling here, and I was fortunate enough to take his place and then able to keep it going from that point on.”

— Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy on former Cowboys coach, and current LSU coach, Les Miles the year before as offensive coordinator — as his quarterbacks coach.

They were reunited in 2001 when Miles, then a Dallas Cowboys assistant, was brought back to replace Simmons as head coach. He hired Gundy as his offensive coordinator, and soon the program was on its way out of a deep valley that followed Barry Sanders’ 1988 Heisman Trophy season and a run through NCAA probation.

Miles won just four games his first season, but capped it with a 16-13 upset at No. 4 Oklahoma that provided momentum in recruiting. The Cowboys won eight games the following season — beating a third-ranked Sooners team and finishing with a winning record for just the second time in 14 years.

“I think it generated some excitement again, and then it started to get some people on board: OK, we’re kind of getting that way,” said Todd Monken, Gundy’s current offensive coordinator and a former Miles assistant at OSU and LSU. “Can we take the next step?”

Miles went on to lead the Cowboys to three straight bowl games for only the second time ever, then left following a blowout loss in the Alamo Bowl to join LSU. Perhaps the most important result of Miles’ success was that it gave billionaire Boone Pickens something to believe in, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars in donations that have transformed

the football stadium and training areas.

Some in the Oklahoma State community are still bitter about Miles’ departure, even though he went to a place where he won a national title three years later and handed the program to Gundy with a firm foundation in place.

Gundy wouldn’t let Miles come back and tell the team goodbye, a decision he now doubts had any impact.

“It does not surprise me the success that he’s having,” Gundy said. “He kind of got the ball rolling here, and I was fortunate enough to take his place and then able to keep it going from that point on. Everybody needs to be thankful for what he did here now.”

Looking back, Gundy said Miles had the right approach at the right time for Oklahoma State.

“He was smart enough to realize that’s some of the guys that we had here may not be as good as what we think we need, but if we are tougher than them, we can pound this thing out, win enough games and kind of get it rolling,” Gundy said.

Miles molded the Cowboys into a smashmouth running team with long practices, running counter and power plays “until nobody could stand up any more,” Gundy said.

Gundy employs a far different approach now, using fast-paced practices that are much shorter and aimed at keeping players fresh for game days. The former quarterback’s offense throws the ball on about 60 percent of its plays and is one of only two that averages more than 50 points per game.

“My philosophy on offense is different than his, but the basic principles of what I believe in are the same as him.

This is who we are, this is how we’re going to do it, and don’t look back no matter what,” Gundy said.

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Henrickson not happy with rebounds basmith@ljworld.com

At 11:11 and 11 seconds this morning or at 11:11 and 11 seconds tonight, when the calendar reads 11/11/11, Kansas University basketball fans might want to reflect on the contributions of some former Jayhawks who made the school proud back when they wore No. 11.

Late great Otto Schnellbacher, known as the Double Threat from Sublette because he played both football and basketball, wore the number on the basketball court from 1946-48. Pass-first point guards Mark Turgeon (198487), Jacque Vaughn (1994-97) and Aaron Miles (2002-05) also wore No. 11.

Aishah Sutherland wears it for the women’s basketball team that opens its season at 2 p.m. Sunday in Allen Fieldhouse against Western Michigan. Senior A.J. Steward, No. 11 and a reserve tight end, plays his final home game Saturday in Memorial Stadium against Baylor for a 1 p.m. kickoff.

KANSAS SENIOR AISHAH SUTHERLAND GRABS a loose ball against Emporia State’s Kelsey Balcom on Nov. 2 in Allen Fieldhouse.

umn in its two exhibitions, Kansas University’s women’s basketball team wasn’t completely perfect in winning the preseason warm-ups by an average margin of 23.5 points.

Far from it, in fact, according to coach Bonnie Henrickson.

While the coach has been pleased with some of the Jayhawks’ production, such as their ability to force turnovers (32 steals) and turn those into points (50 off turnovers), Henrickson said rebounding has been a huge disappointment in the games against Division II opponents.

“I love the turnover numbers, but the rebounding numbers are gonna make me get an ulcer,” Henrickson said following her team’s Sunday victory over Pittsburg State. “How you can force someone into 26 turnovers, and they still get five more shots than you (PSU attempted 63 field goals, KU had 58) is just absolutely the definition of just terrible work on the glass.”

The numbers back up the coach’s statement. In KU’s 68-43 victory over the Gorillas, PSU missed 45 shots, but grabbed 19 offensive rebounds. The Jayhawks, in contrast, had seven offensive rebounds on their 28 misses.

Kansas was outrebounded, 42-36, by Pittsburg State just four days after losing the battle of the boards, 3938, against Emporia State.

In the two victories, KU has been outscored 31-17 in second-chance points.

Henrickson said Sunday she had been barking at the players about rebounding all week long, and they had to clean up their work on the glass.

“I might need to bite, because my bark’s not working,” she said.

Self speaks on recruiting Basketball

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self likes what he’s seen in Perry Ellis the basketball player and Ellis the person.

“The kid is so competitive in the classroom. He wants to be valedictorian,” Self said of the 6-foot-8 Wichita Heights senior standout, who on Wednesday signed a letter of intent with KU. “Perry wants to go into business. I’m not sure if international business or general business, finance or accounting.”

Of course, as Rivals.com’s No. 24-rated player, there’s a chance Ellis will put off his business career a few years for a lucrative NBA career.

He’s the state of Kansas’ most accomplished recruit since Wayne Simien.

Self was asked if recruiting would be easier if the state churned out blue-chip prospects such as Ellis more often.

“Recruiting is hard everywhere,” Self said. “People think just because you coach at a place that has the appearance of having everything in place ... the people you go against in recruiting have the appearance of having everything in place, too. So much of it comes down to different things. A lot of times it’s geography. A lot of times it’s not.

Every individual is different.

“Recruiting is hard everywhere,” he repeated. “It doesn’t matter if you are at Kentucky or Duke or Carolina or Kansas. You think it should be easy. When you are going into somebody else’s backyard to try to get ’em, it’s not always easy.

There’s a lot of good players out there. I hope we are able to sign a couple more kids early. I believe we will ... that will really solidify this class.”

No. 144-rated Zach Peters, a 6-9 forward from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, will sign with KU at a Monday night banquet. Meanwhile, Landen Lucas, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound center from Westview High

Two Kansas University volleyball players, Allison Mayfield and Tayler Tolefree, were named to the Capital One Academic All-District Team on Thursday.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

School in Portland, Ore., begins a campus visit to KU today. He tells jayhawkslant.com he will sign with a school in the early signing period, which concludes Wednesday. The unranked player has visited Cal, Stanford, Washington and Tennessee. KU is also after No. 56 Andrew White, a 6-6 senior from Miller School in Chester, Va., who is also considering Louisville, West Virginia and North Carolina State, with Georgetown trying to set up a visit.

position again,” Taylor said, sure he will not run afoul of coach Self’s rules again. “I am real hungry. I’m excited.

I feel it’s been awhile since I played when it’s not against my team. I’m ready to get it rolling.”

And Self is ready to watch Johnson and Taylor play together.

“They both will start. The day is kind of early though,”

— Kansas women’s basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson KU junior forward Carolyn Davis led the team with 14 rebounds in the two wins.

She said the players are plenty aware that they have to do better on the glass. Davis was glad Kansas would have a week between its exhibition finale and its regularseason debut (2 p.m. Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse against Western Michigan) to work on it.

“It’s a big thing, and we have to address it,” said Davis, who averaged 7.4 rebounds a game last season, eighth-best in the Big 12. “We have to get better at it.”

The Jayhawks might have to do that without Davis in their season opener. It was announced Wednesday that Davis has a stress fracture in her left foot and is day-today.

Senior forward Aishah Sutherland, who had nine boards combined versus ESU and PSU, said the breakdowns are coming because the Jayhawks have been outworked in the two exhibitions.

“They know we can rebound, and they box us out,” Sutherland said.

KU’s eighth-year head coach said her players seem awfully confident most of the shots being hoisted will go in.

“When the ball’s up in the air, we stop working,” Henrickson said, “and we’ve got to continue to work on getting inside of people.”

Kansas was outrebounded by an average of 38.8-33 last year in Big 12 games, so the message, Henrickson said, is not new.

“The consequence is we’ll lose if we don’t rebound,” she said.

Self cracked before practice Thursday.

He knows what Taylor can do.

As far as Johnson ... “Sometimes when you have returning guys who played only a little bit or averaged two or three points a game (Johnson averaged 3.4 points in 13.7 minutes per game as a sophomore), how can you really believe they are capable of doing the same things guys in the past have done? I’m telling you, Elijah is ... he’s capable. He just hasn’t had the opportunity yet,” Self said.

Kansas vs. Towson

Labels: Self at his weekly news conference was asked if he has ever been labeled as a “recruiter” more than a Probable Starters “coach.”

Bunny hopping to it Kansas has five freshmen trying to get acclimated to the college game, and Henrickson said most first-year players come in concerned with scoring and making shots. It can be difficult, she added, for coaches to change that mind-set and get them more concerned with making basketball plays, such as getting to a loose ball or boxing out.

According to Henrickson, Bunny Williams, a 6-foot-1 forward out of Duncanville, Texas, can see that KU’s veterans are pretty good, and she has actively sought out a Williams way to create her own niche by boxing out and getting on the floor.

“I think of that young group, she’s probably made the most progress of anybody,” Henrickson said.

In the two exhibitions, Williams had seven total rebounds, was 4-for-6 on fieldgoal attempts and made all four free-throw tries.

No Knight terrors Freshman guard Natalie Knight started both exhibitions for KU and in 41 minutes was scoreless, going 0-for-7 from the floor.

However, Knight Henrickson wasn’t worried about the 5-7 guard’s shooting, because “she doesn’t kill you on the offensive end.” Henrickson said Knight, who has passed out six assists, has kept Kansas in its offense and not forced the issue with her own shot attempts. As the only freshman

own and bring them in at different times. They do the extra things. This group of seniors has continued to keep this team close even through the unfortunate circumstances as far as where we’re at in our season. This team is still very close. I give a lot of the credit to the seniors.”

TDs a must vs. BU Although Kansas is averaging a shade under 25 points per game this season, several Jayhawks talked this week about the importance of putting up points Saturday to keep up with Baylor, which averages 42 points per game.

“Offensively, we have to score touchdowns,” Gill said.

“You can’t kick field goals and expect to beat Baylor.”

Offensive coordinator Chuck Long agreed.

“The Iowa State game was a field-position game, and it came down to every little play, including the field goals,” Long said. “But this game, based on what they’ve done, we have to score points.”

Asked if the need to light up the scoreboard could change his mind-set when faced with third- and fourthdown decisions deep in Baylor territory, Gill hinted at a different approach.

“It could,” he said. “You state what you’re going to do, and, in most cases, I will follow that. But there’s always extenuating circumstances, and you gotta make some decisions, as a head coach, to go for it, not to go for it, field goals. Sometimes you gotta go kick a field goal to take something positive out of (a drive), but I know in the back of my mind that we gotta score some touchdowns.”

KU-Baylor by the numbers Baylor leads the all-time series, 6-4, including a 4-3 mark during games played as members of the same conference. All four of the Jayhawks’ victories against the Bears have come in Lawrence, the last of which occurred in 2007, when 20th-ranked KU

in a starting unit that features three junior captains (Davis, Angel Goodrich and Monica Engelman) and a senior forward (Sutherland), Knight, her coach said, has been a facilitator.

“She’s not in there trying to take shots she can’t make,” Henrickson said.

Plus, the coach is confident the shots Knight attempts in the future will fall: “It’s not like she can’t shoot the ball,” she said.

Few minutes for Boyd Henrickson wasn’t as satisfied with the play of another freshman, 6-1 guard Asia Boyd, a highly touted recruit.

Boyd played just seven minutes against PSU. Her coach said that in limited time Boyd “got beat a lot” defensively. Henrickson said the KU coaching staff is looking for more from the Detroit product.

“If you play six minutes, then do the best you can for six minutes,” Henrickson said. “Don’t ever get beat, and always box out, and be where you’re supposed to be defensively.”

Mays returns After being held out of the lineup against ESU, sophomore guard Keena Mays returned against Pittsburg State, going 3-for-10 with six points, two rebounds and two assists.

Henrickson had benched the 5-7 guard for unsatisfactory work at practices. The coach said the best thing Mays did versus the Gorillas was push the ball in transition.

“She kind of settled and took some bad shots,” Henrickson said of Mays’ offensive production.

Defensively, Henrickson added, Mays needed to do a better job of containing.

“There shouldn’t be that disparity about how Angel can guard and how Keena can guard,” she said.

topped BU, 58-10. Baylor enters Saturday ranked No. 2 in the nation in total offense at 567 yards per game. That total includes 363 yards per game through the air (fifth in the nation) and 204 yards per game on the ground (22nd).

Kansas ranks 90th in total offense (353), 94th in pass offense (188) and 48th in rush offense (165).

Defensively, the two teams are a little more similar, at least in the rankings. KU sits dead last in the FBS in total defense (541) and rushing defense (257) and comes in 114th in pass defense (284). The Bears rank 113th in total defense (466), including 109th against the run (212) and 96th against the pass (254).

OL Marrongelli honored Junior offensive lineman Trevor Marrongelli has been named to the Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-District 7 football team.

Marrongelli, KU’s left guard who hails from Austin, Texas, owns a 3.75 gradepoint average in finance and has started all nine games this season.

With the honor, the twotime Academic All-Big 12 selection becomes eligible for Academic All-American honors, which will be announced later this month. The Academic All-Big 12 team will also be selected in the coming weeks.

Rivera signs with Pats Former KU linebacker Mike Rivera, a member of the Jayhawks’ 2008 Orange Bowl championship team and 2009 graduate, signed a free-agent contract with the New England Patriots, the club announced Wednesday.

Rivera, a Shawnee Mission Northwest High graduate who spent time with the Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins, will be placed on the Patriots’ practice squad.

As a member of the practice squad, Rivera can be activated and added to the 53-man roster at any time. Players can be promoted to the active roster of any team. They have freeagent status and can sign with any team without compensation to the original team.

| 5B

Jones adjusts to reserve role KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Thomas Jones powers through questions the way he used to power through defenders, dodging a few but mostly running right over the rest.

Is it frustrating to get just a handful of carries every week?

What’s it like to go from superstar to afterthought?

How hard is it watching Jackie Battle take over the No. 1 job?

They’re not easy questions to answer. In some cases, Jones doesn’t have an answer. He was playing in the Pro Bowl three years ago, and last year ran for nearly 900 yards while teaming with Jamaal Charles to form a potent one-two punch in the Kansas City Chiefs backfield.

Lately, he’s been spending most of his time on the sideline.

“I’m doing the things I need to do during the week to be prepared,” Jones said.

“This is the way the season is playing out.”

It hasn’t been an unsuccessful season, at least by team standards. Kansas City is 4-4 at the midway point and tied for first in the AFC West heading into Sunday’s game against Denver.

But it’s been a rough season for the 33-year-old Jones, who has just 66 carries for 200 yards, an average of 3.0 yards per attempt that’s by far the worst of his 12-year career.

His best performance came a month ago, when he carried 10 times for 55 yards

KANSAS CITY RUNNING BACK THOMAS JONES, LEFT, TAKES a handoff from quarterback Matt Cassel during a game against the San Diego Chargers on Oct. 31 in Kansas City, Mo. as the Chiefs rallied for a 2824 victory at Indianapolis.

But the past two weeks have been an exercise in patience, with Jones carrying a total of 14 times for 29 yards.

“We’re 4-4. Obviously we’re doing some good things,” Jones said. “I just try to take advantage of opportunities when they come, and be a leader on the team, and make sure I’m doing the right things and showing everyone else how to do the right things.”

Sometimes, that means putting players in their place.

It was Jones who reportedly got into a locker room altercation with first-round draft pick Jonathan Baldwin during training camp, which resulted in Baldwin spending the first few weeks of the season out of the lineup with a broken right thumb. Both sides have refused to discuss the incident.

One thing is clear: Baldwin has been a model teammate ever since, just like Jones.

Chiefs prepare for Tebow KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Jerheme Urban hasn’t been playing a whole lot of wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs lately. He has only one catch all season, and that was in the opener.

He might as well play quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

Or at least try to imitate it.

You see, Urban stands 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, and he has some experience at quarterback from his younger days, not to mention experience in track. He’s an unusual athlete, which makes him a natural fit to mimic the Broncos’ Tim Tebow, who runs a read-option offense that NFL teams just don’t see very often.

It’s been Urban who has been battered by the Kansas City defense in practice this week as it tries to figure out the best way to shut down Tebow, the former Heisman Trophy winner they will face in an AFC West showdown Sunday.

“I can only judge Tim as an opposing coach getting ready to defend him,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said Wednesday.

“The guy’s a winner and has won everywhere he’s been, and he’s shown that now in the NFL. I think he’s a heck of a player.”

He certainly creates some unique challenges.

There are plenty of running quarterbacks in the league,

guys like Michael Vick who are a threat to take off from the pocket at any moment.

But few teams script optionstyle plays more likely to be seen in college for a quarterback who often resembles a battering ram.

Running an offense similar to what he excelled in at Florida, Tebow generally has three options after taking the snap: throw it down field, pitch it to Willis McGahee or one of the other running backs, or simply keep the ball himself and scamper down field. And last week, the Broncos turned their new offense loose.

Befuddling a stingy Raiders defense, T e b o w Tebow managed to pass for 124 yards and two touchdowns while also running for 118 yards. The attention that Oakland paid him created holes for McGahee, who ran loose for 163 yards and two scores in the 38-24 victory.

Haley said the Broncos’ offense is similar to the wildcat formation in vogue around the league, with one significant difference: Tebow can throw the ball, too, despite what his critics say.

“You got a quarterback running the option,” Haley

said, “and that makes it a triple threat.”

It’s clear the Chiefs understand what Tebow brings to the field.

Figuring out how to stop it is another matter entirely.

“You got to get to him,” defensive end Wallace Gilberry said. “He’s a real tough guy, a powerful runner. You see guys hit him at the knees almost getting knocked out.”

Gilberry said it’s not just the yards and points that Tebow is responsible for that dictates how valuable he’s been.

It’s the fact that the Broncos, after a slow start to the season, have rallied around him.

They’ve won two of the three games he’s started.

“The whole team is feeding off him,” Gilberry said.

“They’re riding behind him.”

That makes the job that the guys in practice are doing imitating Tebow that much more important. It’s hard enough defending a style of offense that you only see from one team, but it’s even more difficult if you’re not able to replicate it throughout the week.

That responsibility isn’t falling only on Urban, either.

Backup quarterback Tyler Palko is a left-hander, like Tebow, and athletic in his own right. So Haley has called on him to line up opposite the Chiefs’ defense. But unlike Urban, Haley refuses to let the Chiefs put a hit on their No. 2 quarterback in practice.

“Thomas is such a big part of our team, and like we’ve always said, everyone has to be a good teammate, and that’s easy and hard sometimes,” Chiefs coach Todd Haley said.

“I don’t want to speak for Thomas, but there’s nobody more competitive than Thomas, who wants to be helping,” Haley said. “Especially when you have a poor outing, that’s generally when you hear, ‘I just want to help,’ and I know Thomas will and has been a tremendous leader.”

Jones doesn’t have so much pride that he’s unwilling to help out Battle, who has gotten the majority of the firstteam reps since Charles went down with a season-ending ACL injury in Week 2.

Haley said Jones has been the consummate leader, working just as hard as he did when he was piling up fivestraight 1,000-yard seasons for the Bears and Jets.

Jones said he doesn’t feel any different than he did his first three years in Arizona, or during his best years in Chicago and New York. If anything, he feels even stronger.

The problem is that it’s not translating into production.

Jones refuses to criticize Haley, offensive coordinator Bill Muir or the rest of the coaching staff. That’s simply not his style.

No, he’d rather help out however he can, biding his time until he gets his chances, however few they are.

44 With enthusiasm

Poem honors those who serve ‘‘Freedom” From the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier To the silver-haired crowns of our fathers From the shores of Tripoli To the Pacific’s pearlgreen waters I wish to give a tribute A four-starred salute today For those who fought so bravely For our freedom and American way.

We take our rights for granted But they were earned in blue-red blood And courage beyond the call of duty In France’s cold wet mud.

Beginning with the Revolution Through the Saudi Arabian sands Men have fought and suffered And died on foreign lands.

So salute this Veterans Day And many more to come.

Through blood and guts and glory Our freedom has been won.

My health is failing, but it doesn’t seem to matter to him. I’m ready to leave. — About To Give Up in Oklahoma

Dear Oklahoma: Your husband sounds stubborn and difficult and possibly deanniesmailbox@comcast.net pressed enough not to care ago, my husband started to about his health or yours. Try have all the signs of irritable to get him to see a therapist, bowel syndrome. He refused but if he refuses, understand to see a doctor and ended up in the hospital with extreme bleeding.

He was discharged after two weeks, and the doctors told him to rest and watch his diet. He didn’t.

Three weeks later, he was back in the hospital and diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Again, he was told to rest, watch his diet and take his medication. Again, he wouldn’t listen.

Four weeks later, he woke up in the middle of the night with a temperature of 107. At the hospital, they said his system has been extremely compromised, and he was diagnosed with active tuberculosis. I am now at risk.

ABC, Military Channel and others honor veterans

Programmers honor and recall veterans in many ways tonight. This marks a trend of sorts, influenced no doubt by the growing number of young men and women who have served in two foreign wars over the last decade. It’s quite easy to turn on the television on any given night and have no indication that hundreds of thousands of our neighbors and our neighbors’ children have been engaged in difficult and dangerous duties in faroff war zones. It’s nice to see them recognized and honored at least one night a year. ‘‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” (7 p.m., ABC) host Ty Pennington recalls the series’ most memorable stories involving returning veterans and their families. During the course of the hour, notable performers, including Whoopi Goldberg, George Lopez and Jewel, will discuss issues facing returning soldiers as well as foundations and agencies set up to benefit those who have served.

Those who get the Military Channel can catch the 1962 biopic “PT 109” (7 p.m.) with commentary by Capt. Paul Rinn, a retired Navy commander. This is part of an ongoing series called “An Officer and a Movie.”

Movies recalling wars of the more distant past include “Apocalypse Now Redux” (4:30 p.m., AMC) and “The Patriot” (5 p.m., Bravo). HBO2 will replay the miniseries “The Pacific” (noon to 10 p.m.). TCM will spend all day Friday with war dramas and service comedies, starting with the 1941 Abbott and Costello comedy “Buck Privates” (5 a.m.), featuring the Andrews Sisters singing “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” a song repopularized in the 1970s by Bette Midler.

Sarah Hyland (“Modern Family”) and Matt Prokop (“High School Musical 3: Senior Year”) star in the 2011 featurelength comedy “Geek Charming” (7 p.m., Disney). Hyland plays the posh and popular queen of the spoiled shopping set whose attitude gets readjusted when she becomes the subject of a documentary by a film nerd (Prokop). His views are also altered when he sees more than just a snob on the other side of the camera lens.

Tonight’s other highlights

An animated version of “Green Lantern” (6 p.m., Cartoon Network) arrives.

Not to be confused with “The Green Hornet” (7 p.m., Starz).

A cancer patient may also be a wanted man on “A Gifted Man” (7 p.m., CBS).

Carson Kressley hosts the “American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards” (7 p.m., Hallmark).

The fat hits the flames on “Kitchen Nightmares” (7 p.m., Fox).

Jo’s back pages on “CSI: NY” (8 p.m., CBS).

A less than enchanting flash mob on “Grimm” (8 p.m., NBC).

Of time loops and anomalies on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox).

Jackie goes undercover on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS).

Brooke’s breakdown gets her thrown off “Onion News Network” (9 p.m., IFC).

Sugar shock alert: A talent from “DC Cupcakes” (9 p.m., TLC) gets married.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Friday, Nov. 11: This year you often become overwhelmed.

You might wish that others would work with you more often than challenge you.

If you are single, many people will want to come in close. The real issue is whether you will allow this intimacy. If you are attached, accept your sweetie and his or her views and emotions. Gemini zeros in on bottom lines.

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) Focus on business in the morning. Remember to return certain key calls as the weekend drops in on you. Tonight: Swap news with a friend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You beam until someone becomes cranky.

You wonder what to do next. You have handled many different situations, but none quite like this.

Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Keep it easy until the afternoon, when you just know. You feel empowered and as if you can handle it all and more.

Tonight: Lots to smile about.

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker November 11, 2011

jacquelinebigar.com

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You know what you want and where you are going. Use that information to the max this morning. You have some important decisions to make. Tonight: Choose something restful.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Sometimes you sell yourself short in an attempt to get situations to work like you want.

Other times, by allowing a little more chaos in, you get better results. Tonight: And the party goes on.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) Try another form of experimenting when discussing an issue.

Do be careful, as you are more likely to lose your temper out of the blue, surprising not only yourself but also others. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your discomfort becomes obvious when someone abruptly changes his or her tune. Don’t wonder how, why and when this attitude change occurred; just accept this person’s new tune as a passage without personalizing it. Tonight: Try a new spot.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others remain touchy and controversial.

You might want to try another approach or a different style. Tonight: Finally, a point of agreement.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) Clear out what you must. You’ll accomplish a lot if you can maintain your focus. Fatigue could mark your decisions if you’re not careful. Tonight: Hang out with work friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity and imagination come forward when faced with a problem. Don’t push a boss beyond his or her level of tolerance. Tonight: Follow your imagination.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stay centered with family and personal matters. Keep opening up to new possibilities that involve your home and security. Tonight: Put 100 percent of yourself into whatever you do.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay on top of your work. You might not be interested in an associate’s offer. Use care as to how you present your disinterest. Tonight: Make it easy.

— The astrological forecast should be read for entertainment only.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Palmer propels Raiders, 24-17 SAN DIEGO (AP) — Carson Palmer looked like an NFL quarterback again, not like a guy who had settled into semi-retirement in Southern California.

Philip Rivers looked, well, like the turnover-prone quarterback that he’s been since opening day.

Palmer threw two touchdown passes and Michael Bush ran 30 times for a season-high 157 yards and one touchdown to lead the Oakland Raiders to a 24-17 win over San Diego on Thursday night, the Chargers’ fourth straight loss.

The Raiders (5-4) broke a two-game losing streak and took a half-game lead over the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West.

“I wouldn’t call it a mustwin, but it was a big win for us,” Raiders defensive tackle Richard Seymour said.

“These games in a sense count twice. It’s a win and also it’s a win in the division. It gives us a leg up right now.”

Palmer threw touchdown passes of 33 and 26 yards to Denarius Moore in his second start and third appearance since being acquired in a trade with Cincinnati. He’d been semi-retired and living in Del Mar, just north of San Diego, before being traded.

He lives next door to Chargers coach Norv Turner.

Palmer was 14 of 20 for 299 yards, with one interception.

Bush helped carry the load for the Raiders with running and also had three catches for 85 yards.

The Chargers (4-5) looked dismal most of the night

Houston hammers Tulane NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Charles Sims rushed for a career-high 207 yards, including touchdown runs of 72 and 52 yards, and No. 11 Houston continued the best start in Cougars history with a 73-17 victory over Tulane on Thursday night.

Case Keenum passed for 325 yards, including touchdowns of 66, 23 and 8 yards to Patrick Edwards, who also scored on a 70-yard punt return.

Houston (10-0, 6-0 Conference USA), which came in averaging 52.7 points per game, was held without a point in the first quarter, snapping a streak of 19 straight quarters with a score.

Houston responded with five touchdowns in the second quarter, beginning with Bryce Beall’s 11-yard scoring run that was set up by Sims’ 56-yard scamper.

Keenum, who last week became the NCAA’s all-time leading passer, increased his career total to 17,537 yards.

No. 10 Virginia Tech 37, No. 20 Georgia Tech 26 ATLANTA — Logan Thomas, a 6-foot-6, 254-pound sophomore, accounted for five touchdowns, while David Wilson rushed for a careerbest 175 yards as the Hokies eliminated Georgia Tech from the ACC race.

Thomas threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores. Wilson had his seventh-straight 100yard game.
