JASON ELLISON WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON OCT. 7 after serving five years for sexual battery. New evidence cast doubt on Ellison’s conviction and a Douglas County judge released him last week.

Man tries to rebuild life after serving time for crime he says he didn’t commit

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

Less than a week after being released from prison, Jason Ellison is rebuilding his life.

The 28-year-old bought some new clothes, obtained a new ID, visited some favorite restaurants and is letting his mom spoil him with homecooked meals at her Kansas City, Kan., home where Ellison is living.

“Feels good. Hard to get used to,” said Ellison, who was released from custody by a Douglas County judge Oct. 7 after spending five years in prison for a crime he says he didn’t commit. “Just taking it one day at a time.”

Ellison was convicted in Douglas County in 2006 of aggravated sexual battery based on sexual assault accusations from his ex-girlfriend’s sister.

New testimonial evidence was presented that casts doubt on the validity of the victim’s allegations, earning Ellison a new trial last week.

But the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office will not be refiling charges, leaving Ellison a free man.

There are two contrasting possibilities in Ellison’s case: he’s either an innocent man unjustly convicted, or a sex offender who got out of prison after serving only a fraction of his sentence.

Sometimes, in the criminal justice system, nobody wins.

“Really, we end up with justice unserved,” said District

16 THINGS I’VE DONE

Chancellor’s assistant has traveled the world

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Editor’s note: This is another in an occasional series of stories by reporter Andy Hyland, who’s been asking Kansas University staff members to share “16 Things I’ve Done.” Today’s installment features Jeff Weinberg, a longtime KU staff member who most recently worked as an assistant to the chancellor.

1. Spent time outdoors hunting, fishing and on horseback while growing up in the southeast Kansas town of Coffeyville.

2. Found the love of his life, Mary, at Coffeyville Community College, where his father was a trustee for more than 40 years,

and had two daughters.

3. Spent 50 years at KU. He once worked for Emily Taylor, KU’s longtime dean of women.

“I lit her cigarettes and got her coffee,” he said. He remembered how she called him into her office one day.

“Weinberg, I think you’re worth something,” she told him and moved him on to other duties. She would go on to eventually became one of the most important figures in his life, he said.

Let the worrying about the next round of budget talks for Douglas County governments begin.

New numbers about the county’s real estate scene are leading to predictions that the popping of the national housing bubble finally will start to let some of the air out of Douglas County property values.

“I don’t think there is any maybe about it,” said Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug. “I fully believe that our property tax base is going to decline.”

Weinaug isn’t predicting a large-scale drop off — not the 20 or 30 percent type of declines seen Weinaug in many housing markets across the country — but he does think Lawrence and Douglas County’s assessed valuation could fall by 3 percent to 4 percent. That would be the largest decline in the county’s tax base in at least 20 years, and it would create budget worries for governments that rely on property taxes.

“A 3 or 4 percent decline in our tax base will result in a $3 million or $4 million loss in revenue for

TOPEKA — After decades of laws being approved aimed at making it easier to vote, a number of restrictions to enter the voting booth will be in place for the 2012 election, and Kansas is at the forefront of that trend.

A new study found the changes will make it harder for more than 5 million eligible voters to vote.

The study, done by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law, states that new laws requiring voters to show photo ID, prove citizenship by producing birth certificates and other measures have been passed in several states.

the county’s budget,” Weinaug said.

Weinaug said that will lead him to ask Douglas County commissioners to start making tough budget choices sooner than normal.

“I’m already asking them to think about what priorities they want to set,” Weinaug said. “To what extent are you willing to cut services? To what extent are you willing to raise the mill levy?

“Instead of asking questions in April and May of 2012, I’m starting to ask those questions now because we may need some time to phase in some changes.”

Numbers to watch Two sets of numbers have caught the attention of local leaders. The latest report from the Douglas County Appraiser’s office found that the average selling price of homes in Lawrence and across the county had fallen by 11 percent, and now stood at $173,040.

The average selling price of homes hasn’t been that low since about 2006. There are caveats to the data. The numbers are only through August, and a staff shortage hasn’t allowed the office to review as many sales as they normally do.

But still, Douglas County Appraiser Steve Miles said

the numbers were worth watching.

“Those numbers did surprise me a bit,” Miles said.

“We haven’t seen many declines quite like that.”

A less-dramatic set of numbers, but perhaps a more reliable set, come from the state’s recent review of the Douglas County Appraiser’s office. The state’s annual sales ratio study of the appraiser’s office found that in 2010 the taxable values set by the Douglas County Appraiser’s office were about 1.2 percent higher than what selling prices suggested they should be.

The finding — although the county is still well within the regulations set by the state — does create some concern for Miles. Historically, the report has found the county to have slightly under-appraised the market. In 2006, the study found that tax values were about 5 percent below what selling prices suggested they should be. Since then, the number has been on the rise.

Miles said that if the county is going to be off one direction or another, he would rather err on the side of being slightly below what selling prices suggest the values should be.

“With the way the markets and the economy are going right now, being a little above is not where you want to be,” Miles said.

The fact that the state’s report was based on 2010 sales is also causing some local leaders to believe values will have to go down because it

NANCY ELLEN LADD LEET A funeral service for Nancy Leet, 81, will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, at the Barber Funeral Home in Johnson City, N.Y. A memorial service at the Lawrence Presbyterian Manor will be at a later date.

She died Thursday, Oct. 13, 2011.

She was born Feb. 23, 1930, in Binghamton, N.Y., the daughter of Maurice Ladd and Virginia Edgecombe Ladd Ridley. She attended Cornell University.

Mrs. Leet worked for the Atomic Energy Commission in New York City until moving to Long Island, where her three children were born.

In 1971, they moved to Naperville, Ill., where she worked at North Central College for the dean of students, helping college students, until her retirement in 1986.

She and her husband spent winters in North Fort Myers, Fla., and summers at their home, “Hilltop,” south of Binghamton. Most recently, she had lived at the Presbyterian Manor in Lawrence.

Douglas County Visiting Nurses, Rehabilitation and Hospice Care took care of her for several months.

She was an active member of Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, PTA, Pi Beta Phi and PEO. She was involved in her church community wherever is generally believed the real estate market in 2011 is slower than it was in 2010.

That’s why Weinaug is guessing a 3 percent to 4 percent drop in values is likely.

Miles, however, said he is not willing to make a prediction yet. He said he’ll be in a better position to offer guidance by mid-November when his staff gets caught up on analyzing sales that have occurred in 2011.

Basically, what Miles finds in the next few weeks will be important for cities, school districts, the county and other governments that rely on property taxes.

“Even though most people think I figure out what the budget needs to be and then I tell the appraiser what the tax values need to be, it doesn’t work that way at all,” Weinaug said. “Our property tax base is going to be determined by what happens in the marketplace.”

City Hall impacts Lawrence City Hall leaders also are bracing for a decline in the city’s property tax base. But the financial impact on the city would be a little less than it would be on the county because the city has become more reliant on sales tax collections.

The same 4 percent decline that would produce a $4 million decline in revenues for the county would produce about a $1 million decline for the city. But some areas of the city’s budget would be hit harder than others. Funding

She married William “Bill” Leet on June 30, 1951. He preceded her in death April 26, 2006.

She is survived by her brother, Mark Ridley and wife Nadine, Edenton, N.C.; three children, Wendy Leet Vertacnik and husband David, Lawrence, Curt Leet, Ely, Nev., and Betsy Leet Macy and husband Jeffrey, Bend, Ore.; grandchildren Andrew Vertacnik, Martin Vertacnik, Sean Leet, Aquilegia Leet, Alana Leet, Christina Macy and Kelsey Macy; one great-grandchild, Drew Vertacnik; a sister-in-law, Janet Rice; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The city’s bond and interest fund — the account the city uses to make its debt payments — also is heavily dependent on property tax revenues.

City Manager David Corliss said a one-year decline in the property tax base will force some tough decisions but won’t be devastating to the city’s operations.

“It is not too unexpected,” Corliss said of a drop. “We have enjoyed some good stability during this downturn in the economy, so I wouldn’t be too surprised to see an adjustment occur.”

The big question will be whether the declining property tax base just will be a one-year occurrence. Weinaug, at least, said he thinks it is possible the county could see a decline for a few years.

“I can’t make an accurate prediction on that, but I’m not counting on or expecting the real estate values to suddenly start going up again,” Weinaug said. “Whether that decline continues at 1 to 4 percent a year, I don’t know. I’m certainly not counting on real estate values to just turn around.”

dential elections,” said Michael Waldman, the Brennan Center’s executive director.

“In 2012 we should make it easier for every eligible citizen to vote. Instead, we have made it far harder for too many. Partisans should not try to tilt the electoral playing field in this way,” he said.

Changes are in store for Kansas voters.

During the last legislative session, Kansas legislators approved a bill suggested by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback, both Republicans, that will require Kansas voters to show a photo ID to vote. The new requirement will be in effect for the 2012 election.

The bill also has a requirement, taking effect in 2013, that anyone registering to vote for the first time in Kansas will have to provide proof of their U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate. But Kobach has said he will return to the Legislature in January and seek to move up that requirement to 2012.

Kobach, one of the national leaders on pushing for voter ID and proof of citizenship, said the Brennan Center study is flawed.

“It’s not a valid number,” Kobach said of the center’s conclusion on how many voters could be affected. “It’s a completely bogus extrapolation.”

Kobach was referring to the assertion by the Brennan Center that 11 percent of U.S. citizens do not have a state-issued photo ID. That included 18 percent of people age 65 and older, and 25 percent of African-American voting-age citizens, according to the study.

Those figures are based on a national telephone survey conducted in 2006 by Opinion Research Corp., a nationally recognized polling firm.

Larry Norden, one of the study’s authors and deputy director of the Brennan Center, said those figures are still valid today and have been backed up by more recent surveys.

“Every study that I’m aware of has come up with the same findings,” Norden said.

Conservatives often cite a 2008 study by the Center for Democracy and Election Management at American University as proof that problems have been exaggerated.

In a survey of three states — Indiana, Maryland and Mississippi — about 1 percent of registered voters lacked a photo ID, that study found.

That study noted that the debate over ID of voters often is partisan. Republicans cite the threat of voter fraud to pass ID; Democrats say the photo ID requirement will mean some voters won’t be able to exercise their right to vote.

“The problem with both partisan sides of the debate is that there is little evidence that would allow each side to prove its case,” the study said. “The supporters of ID can point to few examples of multiple or false voting, and the opponents cannot identify voters who did not vote because they did not have a voter ID.”

“It’s hard to tell from a piece of paper,” Kelly said.

Ellison didn’t look like the most sympathetic client.

He had a long rap sheet and spent several years in prison for a variety of crimes, including a sex crime. Behind bars again, Ellison began racking up numerous disciplinary actions.

After visiting Ellison in prison and meeting his family, Kelly, now a lawyer with a Kansas City, Mo., law firm, became convinced Ellison was innocent, and he’s spent the last two years dedicated to freeing him.

Kelly and Project for Innocence lawyers batted around a variety of legal strategies to help Ellison and were left with having to find new evidence. Kelly started knocking on doors, re-interviewing witnesses and talking to anyone who knew Ellison or the victim. Kelly’s work turned up several witnesses, who submitted affidavits to the court detailing statements the victim made denying Ellison assaulted her.

But many of those witnesses had extensive criminal records — two of the four who submitted statements are in prison.

“Nobody was clean,” Kelly said.

Despite questions about the credibility of the witnesses, Douglas County District Judge Robert Fairchild, following a July hearing, granted Ellison a new trial.

Ellison said without Kelly’s hard work, he’d still be in prison.

“It was nice to know that there were people out there who knew and believed I was innocent,” said Ellison, who was never again cited for a disciplinary action once Kelly started visiting. He said Kelly “never gave up working on my case.”

Not a clean break Ellison’s release isn’t a clean break from the sexual assault allegations. In contrast to some other sexual assault conviction reversals, Ellison wasn’t exonerated, and Branson, the district attorney who oversaw the trial, said his office stands by the original prosecution.

“We remain confident that the original trial resulted in the right outcome, an outcome that was confirmed by

the court of appeals,” said Branson following Ellison’s Oct. 7 release.

Branson said his office’s decision not to retry Ellison was based on a variety of factors, including the wishes of the victim, whom prosecutors contacted to discuss the case.

“She doesn’t want to go forward with this,” said Branson, adding that the case was frustrating from a justice standpoint.

“It’s bitter for both sides,” Branson said.

The case highlighted an issue faced by prosecutors across the country who prosecute sexual assault cases lacking physical evidence.

In Ellison’s case, the largest piece of evidence was victim testimony.

“There’s nothing more difficult than screening a ‘he said, she said’ case,” said Scott Burns, National District Attorneys Association executive director.

Society wants aggressive prosecutions for sex crimes, and sometimes that means relying on one person’s word against another’s, Burns said.

Burns, who could not speak specifically about Ellison’s case, said such cases are a difficult task for any prosecutor — a task made even more

difficult when cases across the country pop up in which a victim lies about an assault.

Such cases have the potential to silence other victims who are worried people won’t believe them.

“There’s a chilling effect,” Burns said.

Moving forward Ellison — with a calm and reserved manner — said his time in prison matured him.

“It definitely made me grow up overnight,” he said.

His mother, Jill Hutchinson, nods her head, affirming her son’s personal assessment.

She talked about the growth she’s seen in her son.

The family is committed to providing Ellison with a stable environment, Hutchinson said, away from negative influences — influences that Ellison admits he knows well.

Before his incarceration in 2006, Ellison spent four years in prison for convictions of assault, theft, burglary and indecent liberties with a child between the ages of 14 and 16.

Then, Ellison said, he ran with the wrong crowd and was more concerned with cars and stereos than building a stable life.

“I just wasn’t making the best choices,” he said. “I

needed to change that.”

Since getting out, Ellison said he’s avoided some of his old friends, instead catching up on time with family.

He’s started job hunting and mentions possible job leads he’s been hearing about.

He’d like to work on cars, but said he won’t be picky.

“Anything that gets a paycheck,” he said.

Ellison said that 10 years from now he hopes he’s left his criminal past and the recent sexual assault case far behind.

“I’ll own my own place, nice job, decent car, in a committed relationship,” said Ellison about his goals. “Be positive and stay out of trouble.”

1 | ROME

Rioters hijack peaceful protests Italian riot police fired tear gas and water cannons Saturday in Rome as violent protesters hijacked a peaceful demonstration against corporate greed, smashing bank windows, torching cars and hurling bottles.

Elsewhere, hundreds of thousands nicknamed “the indignant” marched without incident in cities across Europe, as the “Occupy Wall Street” protests linked up with long-running demonstrations against European governments’ austerity measures.

Heavy smoke billowed in downtown Rome as a small group broke away and wreaked havoc in streets close to the Colosseum and elsewhere in the city.

Riot police charged the protesters repeatedly, firing water cannons and tear gas. Around 70 people were injured, according to news reports, including one man who tried to stop the protesters from throwing bottles.

Until case closed, volunteers lend guiding hand

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

For more than five years, Kansas University law student Clarissa Howley has advocated for the rights of abused and ne-

glected children as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA, volunteer.

Howley, 23, who started as a CASA volunteer in Manhattan and now volunteers with the program in Douglas County, has helped guide five children through the complex childcare courts system.

Despite making a difference in multiple lives, Howley said she probably gets more out of the experience than those she helps.

“Being a CASA volunteer has changed my life for the better,” said Howley, explaining that the volunteering led her to law school, with hopes of specializ-

ing in family law.

Howley is one example of the dedicated corps of volunteers that have been standing up for the rights of area children for 20 years, said Diana Frederick, CASA director.

U.S. strike kills 9 al-Qaida militants The United States has raised the tempo in its war against al-Qaida in Yemen, killing nine of the terror group’s militants in the second, high-profile airstrike in as many weeks. The dead in the late Friday night strike included the son of Anwar al-Awlaki, the prominent American-Yemeni militant killed in a Sept. 30 strike.

Yemeni officials on Saturday attributed the recent U.S. successes against al-Qaida to better intelligence from an army of Yemeni informers and cooperation with the Saudis, Washington’s longtime Arab allies.

The successes come even as Yemen falls deeper into turmoil, with President Ali Abdullah Saleh clinging to power in the face of months of massive protests. Saturday saw the worst bloodshed in weeks in the capital, Sanaa: At least 18 people were killed when Saleh’s troops fired on protesters and clashed with rivals. Witnesses estimated up to 300,000 people joined Saturday’s demonstrations, the largest in the capital in several months.

Festival serves as fall fun, ‘major fundraiser’

U.S. ventures into bloody Africa conflict The United States is venturing into one of Africa’s bloodiest conflicts, sending about 100 U.S. troops to central Africa to support a years-long fight against a guerrilla group accused of horrific atrocities.

The Obama administration said the troops will advise, not engage in combat, unless forced to defend themselves.

In a letter to Congress, President Barack Obama said Friday that the troops will assist local forces in a longrunning battle against the Lord’s Resistance Army, considered one of Africa’s most ruthless rebel groups, and help to hunt down its notorious leader, Joseph Kony.

The first of the troops arrived in Uganda on Wednesday, the White House said, and others will be sent to South Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Hundreds of cars poured into Baldwin City on Saturday for the annual Maple Leaf Festival — a huge tradition in this small town.

The Maple Leaf Festival started in 1958, “inspired” by Baker University professor Ivan Boyd, who suggested the third weekend of October as the “optimum time to view the changing colors” of the area’s leaves, according to the event’s website. This year boasted more than 300 registered booths and unseasonably warm weather.

The big sun and big crowds were good news for Jenny De-

genhardt, who spent the day selling pumpkins from her farm outside Topeka. It was the first time she participated in the festival, and she said the $300 or so she had made by about 2 p.m. was a great help to her business.

Ardie Grimes, a Baldwin City resident who’s been coming to the festival for seven years, said that it’s more than just entertainment for those who come to the weekendlong event; she said it’s a really important event for the whole community, especially the local businesses that sell food and for the volunteer groups.

“It’s a major fundraiser for the whole year for many community-based organizations,” she said.

Kitty Glass, co-owner of Whispering Cedars Farm and Gardens, 657 E. 850 Road, has been selling mums at the festival for 13 years. In that time, the farmers, crafters and volunteers who work the festival become a part of the “closeknit community” present in Baldwin City, she said.

“We’ve become like a big family,” she said of the vendors who participate in the festival. “It’s not only a good (income) for us, but also a lot of fun.”

The festival continues today in downtown Baldwin City.

After 70 years, woman gets At least 1 dead in crash second chance to join sorority

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

BERTIE MCCONNELL, RIGHT, CELEBRATED her 90th birthday Saturday with a little surprise added: She was officially inducted into the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority by Washburn University chapter president Paige Martin, center.

It was a rush 70 years in the making.

Bertie McConnell was a wide-eyed freshman at Washburn University in 1941. She enjoyed her studies that first semester, worked hard and often accompanied her best friend to events held by the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, a group of women, she said, “who were just so sweet.”

She wanted desper-

ately to join that group.

But money was tight, and the $40 dues were just too high. And then, with America becoming involved in World War II, McConnell’s life changed dramatically. She left Washburn, went to work in an ammunitions factory and eventually started a family with Lawrence resident Don McConnell, her now-late husband.

But on her 90th birthday, she finally got the chance to fulfill at least one more

dream: She was officially inducted as a member of Zeta Tau Alpha.

Chapter president Paige Martin delivered the news, which was a surprise to McConnell, at her party Saturday afternoon. McConnell’s daughter, Lawrence resident Judith McConnell-Farmer, contacted Martin about a week ago, just hoping, she said, “to get a birthday card signed by a few people” from the chapter. Martin

Mo. National Guard to help in search KANSAS CITY, MO. — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is sending members of the National Guard to Kansas City to help search for a missing baby.

Nixon said Saturday that 25 members of a guard police company will help look for Lisa Irwin, who was 10 months old when she was reported missing Oct. 4. Her parents say she disappeared from her crib sometime overnight.

Also Saturday, police searched an abandoned home after receiving a call about diapers and a backpack inside.

But investigators say the items appear to have been in the house far longer than two weeks and likely wouldn’t offer any evidence.

Police also say a homeless man seen in the neighborhood has been arrested on an outstanding warrant but isn’t a suspect. Police want to question him as they had neighbors.

took the idea a step further, calling the national chapter to get approval to invite Bertie in as an honorary member.

“We just thought it was an amazing idea,” Martin said, “because we saw that she cared about Zeta Tau Alpha.”

McConnell made jokes with her family after the announcement, saying that she’d love to do whatever she can to help the chapter, but that they may have to hurry to get her involved. She said she was overwhelmed by the generosity and support of both the group and her family, as well as happy to have the opportunity to join the group that meant so much to her so many years ago.

“I finally made it,” she said.

DOUGLAS COUNTY DISTRICT COURT JUDGE PEGGY KITTEL, left, swears in four new CASA volunteers Friday. From left, Mark Lange, Susie Nightingale, Sue Richardson and Ray Beaumont are sworn in.

“

CASA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

At any given time in Douglas County, CASA has about 50 active cases in which children have been removed from their home because of abuse or neglect, which are referred to as Child in Need of Care cases. The CASA volunteers, after an extensive training and background check, are assigned to follow a case through the court system, making placement recommendations and filing court documents.

Their task, Frederick said, is to help the court decide what’s in the best interest of the children on the case load.

“They really look at all the pieces of the puzzle,” she said.

Douglas County District Court Judge Peggy Kittel said the CASA volunteers provide a fresh perspective to cases and “an objective overall view.”

Kittel said the courts value the work of CASA volunteers, who are “keeping watch over how we treat some of our most vulnerable citizens.”

Volunteers range from college students such as Howley, to working professionals, to retirees like Sue Richardson, who started as a CASA volunteer four years ago when she retired from a 40-year career working in the public schools.

Richardson’s worked on four cases so far, and said the key to the work is earning the trust of children who are going through traumatic times.

“Everyone’s asking them questions, and they’re scared to death,” Richardson said.

Richardson said she takes on the role of pseudo-grandparent, but tries to connect with the kids through — what else — video games. Richard-

People with good hearts and who don’t mind asking questions.”

— Sue Richardson, who started as a CASA volunteer four years ago, on the qualities it takes to be a volunteer son can be found at the CASA offices in the play room with an Xbox or Wii. While CASA volunteers are exposed to some difficult situations, Richardson said it doesn’t necessarily take being a social worker or having extensive experience with children to be a good CASA volunteer.

“People with good hearts and who don’t mind asking questions,” said Richardson about the qualities needed in CASA volunteers.

Volunteers work one case at a time until it’s “closed,” which means the child finds a permanent placement. Cases can last anywhere from six months to several years.

Richardson, like many of the CASA volunteers, keeps in touch with the children from her case load even after the cases are closed. Hearing from former children on her case load reminds Richardson of the strong impact she’s made in their lives, she said.

Recently, Richardson was texting the first child she had in the program, who’s now in her teens. When Richardson first met the girl, she asked her what the girl wanted to be when she grew up. The girl responded that she wanted to work in a fast-food restaurant.

A few years later, that same girl is planning on going to Kansas State to become a veterinarian, Richardson said.

U.S. drops keeping troops in Iraq

By Lara Jakes and Rebecca Santana Associated Press

BAGHDAD — The U.S. is abandoning plans to keep U.S. troops in Iraq past a year-end withdrawal deadline, The Associated Press has learned. The decision to pull out fully by January will effectively end more than eight years of U.S. involvement in the Iraq war, despite ongoing concerns about its security forces and the potential for instability.

The decision ends months of hand-wringing by U.S. officials over whether to stick to a Dec. 31 withdrawal deadline that was set in 2008 or negotiate a new security agreement to ensure that gains made and more than 4,400 American military lives lost since March 2003 do not go to waste.

In recent months, Washington has been discussing with Iraqi leaders the possibility of several thousand American troops remaining to continue training Iraqi security forces. A Pentagon spokesman said Saturday that no final decision has been reached about the U.S. training relationship with the Iraqi government.

But a senior Obama administration official in Washington confirmed Saturday that all American troops will leave Iraq except for about 160 active-duty soldiers attached to the U.S. Embassy.

A senior U.S. military official confirmed the departure and said the withdrawal could allow future but limited U.S. military training missions in Iraq if requested.

Both officials spoke on

condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Throughout the discussions, Iraqi leaders have adamantly refused to give U.S. troops immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts, and the Americans have refused to stay without it. Iraq’s leadership has been split on whether it wanted American forces to stay. Some argued the further training and U.S. help was vital, particularly to protect Iraq’s airspace and gather security intelligence.

But others have deeply opposed any American troop presence, including Shiite militiamen who have threatened attacks on any American forces who remain.

Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki has told U.S. military officials that he does not have the votes in parliament to provide immunity to the American trainers, the U.S. military official said.

A western diplomatic official in Iraq said al-Maliki told international diplomats he will not bring the immunity issue to parliament because lawmakers will not approve it.

A White House spokesman, Tommy Vietor, said discussions with Iraq about the security relationship between the two countries next year were ongoing.

Pentagon press secretary George Little said the U.S. remains “committed to keeping our agreement with the Iraqi government to remove all of our troops by the end of this year.”

“At the same time we’re building a comprehensive partnership with Iraq under the Strategic Framework Agreement including a ro-

Good faith?

Local taxpayers would like to see a little more effort to obtain additional state funding for Lawrence’s Social and Rehabilitation Services office.

M

aking a “good-faith effort” usually involves someone going out of his or her way to make something happen.

When the head of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services said he would make a “good-faith effort” to obtain additional state funding for the Lawrence SRS office, many local officials assumed that meant he would at least ask the Kansas Legislature for additional funding for next year.

They were wrong.

Local officials were understandably disappointed. “I definitely would have been much happier to see that good-faith effort to restore our funding start this year,” said Mayor Aron Cromwell. “That would have been a great sign that the good faith was genuine.”

Lawrence and Douglas County have agreed to pay $450,000 over the next two years to offset the costs of maintaining an SRS office in Lawrence.

The agreement they signed with SRS didn’t require Siedlecki to request additional funding this year, but taking that action would have given local officials more confidence that the secretary is serious about working to fund the office without continued local financial support. Instead, Siedlecki indicated this week that, although he still would work with the Legislature to find that funding, he was satisfied to wait until next year to make any formal request.

“We have two years to work with the Legislature,” he said. “We promised to make a good-faith effort.”

It appears that, as far as Siedlecki is concerned, this problem is solved for at least two years. The money being supplied by Lawrence and Douglas County solves the SRS department’s problem. The city-county agreement with SRS is structured so that, if the Legislature approves more money for the Lawrence office, the quarterly payments to SRS can be reduced sooner than two years. That is important to Lawrence and Douglas County but apparently not so important to SRS. State tax revenues have exceeded estimates for the last six months, and some local leaders saw that as an opportunity to seek additional state funding for the Lawrence office.

Local officials still can take their case directly to legislators, but it would have carried more weight if it had been supported by funding in the SRS secretary’s budget request.

Local officials have reason to be concerned. They were forced into a corner by the sudden announcement last summer that the state would close the Lawrence SRS office. They had to scramble — and come up with a substantial amount of cash — to keep that from happening. They don’t want this issue to come down to the wire again — and neither should Siedlecki.

Last summer, officials in Douglas County and several other Kansas communities were forced to make an unpalatable choice to use local tax funds to pay for something that should be a state responsibility. There should be no thought that this is an acceptable solution that can be extended beyond the current two-year agreement. If the state wants local officials to trust their “good faith” in this matter, it should start working with local officials now to find ways to deal with this situation so that local governments don’t find themselves backed into a corner again two years from now.

GOP field falls short on foreign policy Foreign policy hasn’t played much of a role in the Republican presidential race, and it’s easy to see why.

GOP candidates’ remarks on our role abroad have ranged from the uninformed to the bizarre (with the exception of Jon Huntsman, who served twice as a U.S. ambassador). Front-runner Mitt Romney’s foreign-policy speech last week had a Rip Van Winkle quality to it, as though he’d just awakened after a decade and was unaware of how the world had changed since 9/11.

This is sad, because the country could use a serious national debate over what our global role should be in a time of economic turmoil and scarcity. But Republicans seem far more interested in hammering President Obama’s “weakness” abroad than addressing the real threats to our global standing. Romney may insist that “the 21st century must be an American century,” but repeating that mantra won’t make it so.

Yet Republican wannabes have set forth no realistic roadmap for how America can maintain its role as global leader. Most have stumbled badly when asked foreignpolicy questions. Texas Gov. Rick Perry confused India and Pakistan. Former Sen. Rick Santorum opined that we deal with Pakistan by cozying up to ousted Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf — who is now in exile in London and faces arrest if he returns home.

Former pizza king Herman Cain made light of his foreignpolicy ignorance with a joke:

Trudy Rubin

trubin@phillynews.com

This, in the end, is what disturbs me most about Republican foreign-policy posturing: The GOP seems unable to grasp that the world has changed and that the United States must adapt.

“When they ask me who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan, I’m going to say ... I don’t know.” I won’t even start to track Michele Bachmann’s jumbled foreign-policy claims.

Which brings me back to Romney, whose positions reflect the fact that he’s hired on a host of former George W. Bush advisers.

He talks of restoring American strength by adding 100,000 U.S. troops and expanding defense spending. Yet he never mentions our budget crisis, although both parties have agreed defense cuts will be required to address it. He never explains how we can afford 100,000 additional soldiers when we’re overburdened with debt.

Nor does he address what kind of strategic force we need to con-

front the threats of the future, which should determine the size of our forces. We’re unlikely to repeat the kind of ground wars we’ve waged in Afghanistan and Iraq, while drones and special forces are most effective for tracking down terrorists.

Did Romney avoid these issues because he didn’t want to cite Obama’s success in sending special forces to kill Osama bin Laden? Perhaps. But it’s bizarre to pledge a vast increase in military manpower when you don’t say why it is needed.

This lack of seriousness runs through every aspect of Romney’s foreign-policy posture.

On Afghanistan, he’s backed off from an earlier pledge to bring troops home soon and now talks of a “full review” of our policy.

Do we really have time for — or need — yet another full review?

On the Middle East, he ignores failed peace talks but promises to focus aid and diplomatic efforts, even as Republicans slash the State Department budget.

And on Iran, Romney talks tough — saying an Iran with nukes is “unacceptable” — but he doesn’t say how he’d act differently than Obama. Perhaps that’s merciful, because other Republicans (including the normally level-headed Huntsman) are talking of military strikes against Tehran.

Never mind that most serious Iran experts believe a strike would not eliminate Tehran’s nuclear program, but would have huge, negative repercussions.

(We should keep this warning in mind as hysteria rises over an alleged Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington, an allegation that Iran experts find bizarre and contrary to Tehran’s operational style.)

This, in the end, is what disturbs me most about Republican foreign-policy posturing: The GOP seems unable to grasp that the world has changed and that the United States must adapt.

Huntsman does get it. He rightly labels the need to “rebuild America’s core” as America’s No. 1 national security issue: Joblessness (not to mention failing infrastructure and education) undercuts America’s ability to lead.

And he understands the need to “right-size our current foreign entanglements,” including a gradual drawdown from Afghanistan, and more focus on intelligence gathering and special forces to fight terrorists.

In fact, if you read Huntsman’s speech, it doesn’t sound so different from where Obama has arrived through trial and error. I’ve had big gripes with Obama’s foreign policies, but at least he’s trying to grapple with the requirements of new times.

However, Huntsman won’t get the nomination. So we’re left with a GOP pack that insists on American superiority and sabrerattling while our country is crumbling internally. From such self-delusion, the next American century won’t grow.

Leadership void

Cain waffles on issues of race This is for those who keep asking what I think of Herman Cain. In particular, it’s for those who want to know what the tea party’s embrace of this black businessman turned presidential candidate says about my claim that the tea party is racist.

I might eat the plate of crow those folks proffer if I’d ever actually made that claim. What I have said, fairly consistently, is something more nuanced: racial animus is an element of tea party ideology, but not its entirety. As I once noted in this space, the tea party probably would not exist if Condoleezza Rice were president.

Modern social conservatives, in my experience, do not hate black people en masse. To the contrary, there are two kinds of blacks they love. The first is those, like Rice, who are mainly mute on the subject of race, seldom so impolite as to say or do anything that might remind people they are black. The second is those who will engage on race, but only to lecture other blacks for their failures as conservatives conceive them. And that, friends and neighbors, is Herman Cain all over.

“I don’t believe racism in this country today holds anybody back in a big way,” he told CNN recently. Had he contended too many African-Americans use racism as an excuse for failure to succeed and even failure to try, Cain would have gotten no grief from me; I’ve made that argument often.

But what he said was that racism is no longer a factor. He

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

African-Americans were psychologically maimed by this country, the expression of which can still be seen in the visceral self-loathing that afflicts too many.”

surely warmed the hearts of his conservative fellow travelers who swear blacks have the same opportunity to succeed as whites if they’d only get off their lazy so-and-sos and do it.

It is a claim spectacularly at odds with reality, given that African-American unemployment runs twice that of whites, given that the Agriculture Department admits to systematically discriminating against black farmers, given documentation of a “justice” system engaged in the mass incarceration of young black men.

But what made the claim truly bizarre is that two days later, Cain branded himself a victim of racism. Specifically, he said some black people are “racist” because they disagree with his

politics. So blacks aren’t held back by racism, but Cain is?

Lord, give me strength.

He thus neatly encapsulates what has become an article of faith for many white conservatives; namely, that it is they, not black and brown people, who are the true victims of bigotry. Mind you, they have not a shred of a scrap of a scintilla of evidence to support this cockamamie idea, but they believe it anyway. And now they find support for their idiocy in this Negro from Atlanta.

One of the least-discussed impacts of the black experience in America is its emotional toll. African-Americans were psychologically maimed by this country, the expression of which can still be seen in the visceral selfloathing that afflicts too many.

Meaning the black child who equates doing well in school with “acting white.” Meaning the famous black man who bleaches his skin. Meaning the famous black woman who rationalizes her use of a certain soul-killing racial epithet. Meaning Herman Cain.

In his diminution of AfricanAmerican struggle, he comes across as a man profoundly at odds with the skin he’s in. He seems embarrassed he’s black.

For what it’s worth, I suspect black folks aren’t real happy about it, either.

To the editor: Our city’s two largest employers (education and local government) are totally dependent on the profits generated in the private sector. Without privatesector profits there are no tax revenues to provide for the public sector’s salaries, health care premiums and pensions.

The city of Lawrence is not growing. Enrollment at Kansas University has declined by 700 students. Bankruptcies, foreclosures, job loss, tax burdens, Main Street and housing vacancies are at all-time highs.

During a severe recession, City Hall has favored local government employees and the privileged few over Main Street taxpayers. Full employment, free health care and tax abatements do not exist for Main Street taxpayers. The Masonic Temple’s tax abatement is the latest example of taxpayer money being used to reward an individual’s poor business decision. Neither of these edicts are favored by the majority of the electorate.

Negligent fiduciary responsibility and cronyism erodes the electorate’s tax base and increases their tax burden. Prioritizing taxpayer money for special interests over majority opinion is sapping the life blood out of our community.

Any individual or business seeking a public bailout and/or tax abatement should surrender a prorated share of ownership to the taxpayers (deeds, stock, etc.) equal to the amount of the bailout and/or tax abatement.

Problem solved.

Our city and community is crying out for leadership than can and will make a difference.

We can no longer tolerate the status quo.

Lane markings To the editor: Thank you, city of Lawrence, for finally fixing the potholes in this fair city. Can you please find the money to repaint the traffic lines? I’ve almost, or almost been, sideswiped numerous times. When a driver wants to make a turn, no one can tell if they have a legitimate turn lane or not. I mean, I know where I’m going and all, but most people don’t. I swear it’s almost like people are just making it up as they drive along.

Anyway, it would be great if you could take care of this for me! Rock Chalk!

Ethics case unlikely to affect Kline’s teaching KANSAS CITY, MO. — The dean of the Liberty University School of Law said former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline’s ability to teach at the Christian school in Virginia is unlikely to be affected by the outcome of an ethics case against him.

A state professional ethics panel recommended last week that Kline’s Kansas law license be indefinitely suspended because of his conduct during criminal investigations of abortion providers. Kline has denied any wrongdoing, but others said he allowed his antiabortion beliefs to influence his work as a prosecutor.

The Kansas Supreme Court will make the final decision on any sanctions. Kline has already allowed his Kansas law license to lapse.

A turn for the better

KANSAS CORNERBACK ANTHONY DAVIS (30) DISRUPTS A PASS to Oklahoma receiver Ryan Broyles during a defensive stand in the second quarter.

KU loses again, but shows gain

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The final result was another loss, but this one didn’t feel like all the others.

Despite dropping its fourth straight game of the season, Kansas University’s football team walked away from Saturday’s 47-17 setback loss to Oklahoma with a feeling of accomplishment.

There were so many signs that progress was made. So many indicators that things would get better. So many reasons to believe the best is yet to come.

“I would say it was confidence and pride,” junior safety Brad-

ley McDougald said. “Knowing this was our home turf, knowing the game we had last week and knowing that if we didn’t step up and play better it was going to get that much worse.”

Although Saturday’s step forward came down to individual players raising their games, McDougald gave a lot of the credit to senior co-captain Steven Johnson.

“Steve Johnson got the defense together Tuesday before practice and called some guys out, and it was much needed,” McDougald said. “He did what a captain was supposed to do and got the defense going, and THE OKLAHOMA DEFENSE brings down Kansas University running back Darrian Miller in the Please see KANSAS, page 4B Sooners’ victory.

It sounds absurd to talk about a football team taking a step forward on a night in which it allowed 610 yards and 47 points, a night in which it had one second-half first down and lost by 30 points, but the fact is Kansas University looked significantly better Saturday in a 47-17 loss to Oklahoma in Memorial Stadium.

For this night at least, with the nation’s No. 3 team in town, the Jayhawks did nothing to be mistaken for a punching bag, nothing to qualify as a punch line in a joke about ineptitude.

“Only thing I can say is, I love my defense, and I love this team, and we fought,” senior inside linebacker Steven Johnson said. “After this game, I’m

walking out of here with my head held high because we got a lot better.”

He’s right about that. The defense, particularly in the red zone, performed far better than it had in losses to Georgia Tech, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.

Releford shrugs off Kansas’ losses ————

Junior aware Jayhawks not deep, but ‘of course we are going to be able to survive it’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

To Travis Releford, it matters not that Kansas University’s basketball team enters the 2011-12 season with just eight recruited scholarship players on the roster.

“Of course we are going to be able to survive it. It doesn’t matter if we have five scholarship players. What we’ve got to do here is win. That’s what we are going to go out and do,” Releford, KU’s fourth-year junior forward from Kansas City, Mo., said after scoring 16 points in leading his Blue team to a 40-33 victory over the Red squad in a Late Night in the Phog scrimmage Friday in Allen Fieldhouse.

“We have to make sure we take advantage of Tyshawn touching the paint,” coach Bill Self said, asked about KU’s potential style of play with a notso-deep bench this season. “You saw tonight that cat can really get to the paint. Why would we let somebody shoot it before he has a chance to get to the paint?

Sporting KC clinches playoff berth KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; C.J. Sapong scored, and Sporting Kansas City clinched a playoff berth with a 2-0 victory on Saturday over the New York Red Bulls, who lost forward Thierry Henry to a red card in the first half.

Teal Bunbury also scored for Kansas City (12-9-12), which moved into a first-place tie with

Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference. Both teams have 48 points with one game remaining.

New York (9-8-16), which has 43 points, had to play much of the game a man down after Henry was sent off in the first half.

Henry, who came in with 14 goals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; tying him for the league lead â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was given a red card in the

28th minute for kneeing Roger Espinoza in the back as Espinoza sat on the field.

Henry will be suspended for the Red Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regular-season finale against Philadelphia on Thursday.

Sapong entered in the 73rd minute and made it 2-0 in the 74th with a half-volley off an assist from Matt Besler.

Bunbury, who shot wide-right on two breakaways in the first half, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss in the 57th minute.

After a corner kick in New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, the ball bounced before Sporting Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Julio Cesar headed it to Bunbury for a volley into the lower-left corner.

The Big East is expected to invite Boise Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program to join a reconfigured conference as soon as next week, but that might not be the best move for the Broncos at this time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any idea right now ... of whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be in, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be outâ&#x20AC;? in the Big East, Kustra told The Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And so if anybody asked me today, if anybody invited me today, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what I was getting invited to.â&#x20AC;?

Kustra spoke to the AP prior to the fifth-ranked Broncosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inaugural Mountain West Conference game at Colorado State on Saturday. The Broncos (5-0) bolted the Western Athletic Conference to join the MWC this year.

Joining the Big East in football would require Boise State to find a home for its other sports because MWC Commissioner Craig Thompson said Friday night that Boise State was either all in or all out.

The Big East is in flux and a conference official told the AP that conference leaders are slated to vote Monday on doubling its exit fee to $10 million, which will clear the way to invite six new members.

Along with Boise State, the league also wants to invite Air Force and Navy as football-only members and Conference USA members Central Florida, SMU and Houston to join in all sports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really an unsettled time,â&#x20AC;? Kustra said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a number of options, one of which is staying right where we are, working through this Conference-USA merger of sorts and finding ways of getting better TV coverage and perhaps even working toward an AQ conference status. ... and while we love where we are, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep all the options on the table. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what my responsibility is as president.â&#x20AC;?

Staying in the Mountain West, which is teaming with C-USA to form an association stretching from the East Coast to Hawaii, until the dust settles from all this conference realignment might be the best route for Boise State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very vocal about my thoughts regarding the BCS and when they organize in 2013, I hope thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to deal with some of these inequities,â&#x20AC;? Kustra said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But in the meantime, it seems like our responsibility is to get as close as we can to AQ status as we can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just shutting down any interests from others who ask us questions about what are your future plans? Our future plans are to do whatever we can to work out a better TV arrangement, get on more TVs in more living rooms and at the same time work toward AQ status.â&#x20AC;?

Kustra said another move would take time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not on any kind of urgent timetable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really enjoy where we are and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for us to take advantage of the rest of this season. I mean, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, if we take care of the rest of this season, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to a postseason bowl, a BCS bowl. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly too shabby an existence in the year 2011.â&#x20AC;?

MUNICHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S DANIEL VAN BUYTEN OF BELGIUM, RIGHT, AND BERLINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S PETER NIEMEYER CHALLENGE for the ball during the German first division Bundesliga soccer match between FC Bayern Munich and Hertha BSC Berlin in Saturday in southern Germany.

US collects 14 medals at Pan Am games GUADALAJARA, MEXICO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The United States was awash with medals on the opening day of the Pan American Games, with nine of its 14 coming in the swimming pool alone.

The Americans moved to the top of the medals table from the opening event when Heather Irmiger won the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crosscountry mountain bike race. They just added more and more as the day went on, ending up with seven gold medals. Brazil was next with one gold and seven overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it was a great first day, there is a lot of games left,â&#x20AC;? said Scott Blackmun, the U.S. Olympic Committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretary general. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very proud of our athletes and look forward to some great competitions as the games go on.â&#x20AC;?

Clare Donahue won the first of four swimming gold medals for the United States, finishing first in the 100-meter butterfly. Her winning time of 58.73 seconds was a tad slower than her Pan American Games record of 58.59 set in the heats earlier in the day.

Elaine Breeden took bronze, just behind Daynara De Paula of Brazil.

The United States has traditionally dominated the Pan American Games, which have been staged every four years since the first competition in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1951.

This edition is proving no different.

TENNIS

Murray set for Shanghai finals SHANGHAI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Andy Murray overpowered Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kei Nishikori 6-3, 6-0 Saturday, setting up a Shanghai Masters final against David Ferrer and taking another step in his bid to pass Roger Federer in the rankings.

Ferrer, ranked No. 5, struggled past fellow Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-3.

It was the third straight match he has come back to win after losing the first set.

Murray, the defending champion, has won 24 of his last 25 matches and is trying to capture his third tournament in three weeks.

If he wins the title Sunday, he will advance from No. 4 to No. 3 and overtake Federer in the rankings, a goal he had set for the end of the year.

Federer made last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shanghai final but skipped this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament to rest and recover from injuries. He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been ranked below No. 3 since June 2003 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just before he won his first Grand Slam at Wimbledon.

Murray has been ranked as high as No. 2 but has never finished the year higher than No. 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the ultimate goal, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a step in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Kenseth wins at Charlotte CONCORD, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Kenseth has staked his claim on NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship with a win Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Kenseth passed Kyle Busch with 25 laps to go, then held Busch off on a restart to win his first race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

The victory was Kensethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third of the season, but first since NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title-deciding series began five races ago.

The win pushed Kenseth from fifth to third in the standings. He trails leader Carl Edwards by seven points at the halfway point of the 10-race Chase.

Busch changed his engine before the race and started last in the 43-car field. But he rallied to finish second for his best finish in the Chase.

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kevin Durant is looking for some concessions from the owners to help settle the NBA lockout.

Durant says the players have â&#x20AC;&#x153;sacrificed a lotâ&#x20AC;? and the owners need to move off their positions at some point.

The Oklahoma City star was in Washington on Saturday with Wizards guard John Wall, Kings forward DeMarcus Cousins and other NBA players to renew the Philadelphia-Washington DC rivalry in front of a crowd of several hundred fans.

Lou Williams and Hakim Warrick led the way in Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 172-169 win. Durant scored 56 points for the DC team.

“I’d say Naadir was the best dancer,” he added of freshman Naadir Tharpe. “He held his group down (during dance with KU newcomers).

partial qualifier who left KU and is looking at finding another school to play at second semester. All three cases were decided on their individual merits.

“I wasn’t in on that call at all,” Self said. “I’d say some things were thrown at us that allowed the Big 12 to rule on Jamari and Ben before they got the information on Braeden to rule on Braeden.

It wasn’t our fault. It wasn’t anybody’s fault. It was just the circumstances. Braeden was a little later getting in (information). That may have been the difference. I don’t know.” !

Late Night frivolity: Actor Rob Riggle, a KU grad who appeared in “The Hangover” and was a former cast member on Saturday Night Live, had a role as referee in the fake boxing match between KU staff member Barry Hinson and “Vicious” Victor Ortiz. “I used to sit up there,” Riggle said, pointing to the seats in the upper deck, northwest corner. “I was too busy ‘studying’ to get the good seats,” he added of the seats in the student section behind the north goal. ...

In a wild twist, KU’s Hinson accidently head butted Ortiz in the face, the boxer getting cut in the lip. “Coach, what is that, a headbutt,” Riggle said, jokingly referring to Ortiz headbutting Floyd Mayweather in last month’s title fight in Las Vegas. Riggle and Ortiz were introduced to the fans during timeouts at Saturday’s KU-OU football game.

NORMAN, OKLA. — Kansas University jumped to a 2-0 lead, but ultimately suffered a five-set Big 12 volleyball loss to Oklahoma on Saturday, 23-25, 19-25, 25-23, 25-19, 15-9.

OU improved to 18-5 overall, 5-2 in the Big 12. KU fell to 12-7 and 0-6.

Kansas outhit Oklahoma in the first three sets, but the Sooners rattled of a .364 attack percentage in the fourth set and .400 in the fifth to rally.

Senior outside hitter Allison Mayfield led the floor with 21 kills. Making her first start of the season, senior setter Nicole Tate posted a KUseason-high 59 assists, five shy of her all-time best.

Four Jayhawks recorded double-digit kills for the first time since Oct. 7, 2009 – also against Oklahoma. Freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton set a new career-high with her 14 kills, while middle blockers Caroline Jarmoc and Tayler Tolefree cranked out 15 and 12 kills, respectively. The duo also teamed up for 13 blocks.

Defensively, KU received double-digit dig performances from five Jayhawks for the second time this season, with sophomore libero Brianne Riley’s 17 digs leading the team.

Tolefree led the team with seven blocks, helping the Jayhawks to 14 as a team.

OU — led by Big 12 blocking leader Sallie McLaurin’s 10 blocks — had 17.0 blocks as a team.

Freshman outside hitter Tara Dunn led the Sooners with 16 kills.

KU will host Kansas State at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Horejsi Center. That match will be televised live by Metro Sports.

Undefeated Oklahoma, the No. 1-ranked team in the country in the coaches’ poll — the same OU that annihilated Texas, 55-17, the previous week — looked human in Saturday’s 47-17 victory over Kansas in Memorial Stadium.

That fact did not bother coach Bob Stoops, whose Sooners improved to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the Big 12.

“We got field goals. We didn’t score every single time. It’s difficult. We only scored 47 ... everybody is like, ‘How did you not get 60?” said Stoops, now 7-0 all-time versus KU. “We didn’t score every time we were in the red zone, so sorry we didn’t score every time. We’re working on it. It’s hard. They did some nice things, too.”

Stoops wasn’t being short or testy in his postgame chat with the media. He was in a good mood on a record-setting night of one of his favorite players of all time.

Senior Ryan Broyles (13 catches, 217 yards, two touchdowns) on Saturday set the NCAA record for all time receptions (317) on a 57yard bomb from quarterback Landry Jones in the second quarter.

That catch also gave Broyles, a 5-foot-10, 188-pounder from Norman, Okla., the alltime Big 12 record for touchdown catches (43).

The old record for all-time receptions was held by Taylor Stubblefield of Purdue, who had 316 from 2001-04.

Oklahoma State’s Rashaun Woods had 42 TD catches.

“I don’t have any more adjectives to describe Ryan Broyles,” Stoops said of Broyles, who set a personal record in receiving yards. He busted his old mark of 208 yards versus Colorado in 2010. “He is out of this world.

The plays he continues to make ... it seems perfect he had a 50-, 60-yard touchdown to get the record.”

The play was not necessarily set up for Broyles to bag the record. Or was it?

“We were aware of it,” Stoops said. “He is really special, as you (media) all know.”

Stoops, whose Sooners led just 27-17 at halftime, was impressed with QB Landry Jones, who hit 29 of 48 passes for 363 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception.

“Landry started out slow, but passes for a ton of yards and touchdowns,” Stoops said. “I’m also pleased with the running game, and I think we held them to negative yards (defensively) the second half.”

OU rushed for 247 yards off 40 carries and scored two rushing TDs. The Sooners allowed six total yards the second half.

“Give their coaches credit and players credit,” Stoops said. “They are making progress and did well. I thought they would. They got some yards. They’ve played well at home this year.

“I’m very pleased with our players the way they continued to play throughout the game and finish the game.”

How they scored

KANSAS RUNNING BACK DARRIAN MILLER breaks through the Oklahoma defense on a carry during the first quarter. KU fell to the Sooners, 47-17, on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Kansas

KU defense had played one of its best games of the year, flashing the grit and toughness it had been missing all season and picking up three turnovers in the process. Although the visible progress energized the team, it didn’t erase what the scoreboard said.

“We’re disappointed,” KU coach Turner Gill said. “We lost. A loss is a loss. I’m trying to win football games. I’m not in it to pat guys on the back and for a moral win.”

Regardless, the Jayhawks gained plenty of confidence from this performance, even if it led to their falling to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in Big 12 play.

Nobody expected Kansas to compete with OU for even a quarter Saturday. When it came down to it, the Sooners showed why. Although Kansas hung close for three quarters, the OU defense stifled what had been KU’s best unit throughout the second half.

“The bottom line is their defensive line, or front seven, beat our front seven,” Gill said. “We had a few good things happen for us in the first half, and they came back and got physical. They were more physical than we were in the second half.”

It didn’t take Gill saying it for that to be noticed. KU’s offense gained just six yards on 27 plays in the second half. The Jayhawks did not pick up their first first down

of the second half until 3:10 remained.

“A lot of that was on me,” KU quarterback Jordan Webb, who finished 13-of-25 for 108 yards. “I wasn’t making plays like I usually do. I just have to play better.”

While many expected OU’s offense to roll up at least 70 points in this one, the KU defense held the Sooners to 10 points in the first quarter and just three points in the third quarter.

After falling behind 100, KU responded to tie the game on a 56-yard touchdown run from James Sims and a 36-yard field goal from Alex Mueller.

Sims’ run came on a fourthand-one call and was the result of a wild option play in which Webb was forced to start right to grab a low snap and fought back to his left to pitch the ball to Sims, who broke free along the KU sideline.

OU answered with backto-back TDs but only led 27-17 at the half thanks to a two-yard TD run from KU freshman Darrian Miller with 3:43 to play in the second quarter.

That was KU’s last meaningful offensive play of the night.

Who would have thought the right foot OU kicker Michael Hunnicutt would play such an important role in the Sooners’ victory?

Hunnicutt, a 5-foot-9, 169-pound red-shirt freshman from Richardson, Texas, accounted for 16 of OU’s points and cashed in on a bunch of chip-shot threepointers when the Kansas defense stood tall and held the Sooners’ offense out of the end zone.

At one point Hunnicutt capped off three straight OU scoring drives in the second half by making kicks of 19, 27 and 20 yards.

“It was great to see them continue to be so competitive in the red zone,” Gill said. “It was good to see when (OU) got in the red zone they were kicking field goals.”

When Hunnicutt wasn’t kicking field goals, OU wide receiver Ryan Broyles provided a clear reminder that the Jayhawks were a league or two behind the Sooners, who improved to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in Big 12 play in front of a crowd of 42,580.

Although Saturday’s game was hardly the kind that turned the season around, it did give the Jayhawks some much needed confidence. That, Johnson said, should inspire them to show up today ready to work that much harder as they prepare for in-state rival Kansas State.

“I have a feeling we can win the rest of our games,” Johnson said. “It’s just a feeling I have in my heart.”

“After the game, when we talked as a defense, we felt as though, hey, we shouldn’t lose any more games,” Johnson said.

Sure, Oklahoma wide receiver Ryan Broyles had a Heisman Trophy-like night, but he’s a cut above anybody KU has on its roster, and the mix of a stale pass rush, an Isiah Barfield misstep here and there and the fresh arm of Landry Jones made that a combustible mix that won’t occur every week.

Gill, disappointed because “a loss is a loss,” acknowledged improvement. Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy wasn’t doing backflips, which is a good thing because the way his year has gone he might get hurt if he tried that.

“I don’t know if we played that good,” Shealy said.

“You give up 600 yards and 47 points, that’s not a standard that makes you feel good.”

Still, one week after Kan-

sas allowed eight first-half touchdowns on Oklahoma State’s eight first-half possessions, the difference was easy to see.

“I thought we made more plays,” Shealy said. “Until the last two scoring drives, third down was better.”

And for a half, the running game shined against a defense that held Florida State to 27 rushing yards and Texas to 36.

Freshmen Darrian Miller, he of the phenomenal balance, and Tony Pierson, such a burner, helped James Sims in giving KU 168 first-half rushing yards. The Sooners dominated the line of scrimmage in the second half, and Kansas regressed to a final total of 144 rushing yards for the night.

Still, as 30-point losses go, this wasn’t a bad one.

guys just stepped up and made plays.”

That was Johnson’s message in a nutshell, and the senior linebacker used the pain from last week’s loss to Oklahoma State as a catalyst to deliver it.

“It was a little anger in me, just embarrassment,” Johnson said. “This university and Kansas football gave each and every one of us an opportunity. I got in each and every single person’s face, and I just told people what they needed to improve at and we went to practice and started working.”

It’s hard to say whether Saturday’s victory by OU said more about the Sooners or Jayhawks.

A week after giving up 70 points and 600 yards to No. 6 Oklahoma State, the KU defense surrendered 610 yards to OU. Even with that, KU legitimately competed with the third-ranked Sooners into the fourth quarter.

It wasn’t until OU wide receiver Ryan Broyles (13 receptions, 217 yards, two TDs) broke free for a 43yard touchdown with 10:22 to play that the Sooners put the game away. To that point, the

Kansas notebook: Hatch hurt, but ‘fine’ after scare

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Kansas University offensive lineman Jeremiah Hatch left the game late in the first quarter following an apparent back injury.

The senior was assisted by several KU trainers before being strapped into a stretcher and lifted onto a cart.

Play was delayed nine minutes to attend to Hatch, who was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for evaluation.

Hatch returned to the KU sideline in street clothes during the fourth quarter.

“He’s fine. He’s now able

to move all his limbs and everything,” KU coach Turner Gill said. “They still want to evaluate him in the next 24 hours and kind of see what happens here in the next few days. But I’m glad to see that he is OK, as far as able to move his limbs, because initially, he was not able to move anything.”

The Oklahoma game was Hatch’s 41st start at KU. Following the injury, KU sophomore Riley Spencer took over at left tackle, while Jeff Spikes shifted from left tackle to left guard and Trevor Marrongelli moved from left guard to center.

LAWRENCE HIGH RUNNERS GAVIN FISCHER, LEFT, AND NATHAN STRINGER race side-by-side down the final stretch of the Sunflower League cross country meet Saturday at Rim Rock Farm. Fischer and Stringer finished 10-11.

FSHS runners runners-up ————

Free State 4th, 5th; LHS 3rd, 8th

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

Before most of the girls coming down the Rim Rock Farm skyline for the finishing stretch became visible, Shawnee Mission West’s Allie Cash breezed to the finish line to win the girls 4K at the Sunflower League cross country championships.

Free State’s Lynn Robinson finished second, 1:08 behind Cash, at Saturday’s meet.

“It gives me a good rabbit to chase,” Robinson said.

“When I see her, I know I’m running well.”

Cash has jumped to fast starts all season and usually creates distance early on.

But there was a point in the middle of the race where the top runners were all bunched together. Robinson had a chance to take off with her, but decided to stick with the pack.

“I was still within eyesight of her,” Robinson said. “I almost thought about going out and running with her.”

In hindsight, she was glad she didn’t, or Robinson would have faded sooner, she said. She still finished what coach Steve Heffernan said was the best race of her high school career.

Overall, the FSHS girls finished fourth out of 12, with big contributions from Molly McCord, who finished 13th, and Rosemary Newsome, who finished 22nd.

Free State senior Kain An-

SM West’s Jonah Heng won the race, but Anderson was seven seconds behind.

Anderson said the difference was in their different styles of racing.

“We go out at the same pace, but somewhere in the middle of the race he just gets stronger,” he said. “I just stay too relaxed.”

The Free State boys team finished fifth overall, without their third-best runner. John Volkin didn’t race because of illness.

LHS boys 3rd, girls 8th Lawrence High’s Gavin Fischer had to earn his 10thplace finish when teammate Nathan Stringer came up

from behind to push him on the final sprint. Fischer beat him by a tenth of a second, and Zach Andregg was two seconds behind in 12th place.

The 10-11-12 finish showed how effective the Lions can be when they race as a team.

“Today, Zach and I just tried to stay with him as long as we could,” said Stringer, who set a personal best by 20 seconds.

After a third-place team finish at league, the Lions were pleased to see their strategy of sticking with the top runners work. When LHS ran at Rim Rock last month, Fischer ran about the same time as he did this week, but he was the top runner by 30 seconds.

Coach Brian Anderson said his team fared better because it wasn’t distracted by homecoming and other school-related events.

“This time we got more focused on the race,” Anderson said.

Grace Morgan didn’t set a PR, but she did shave about 35 seconds off of her last race at Rim Rock. She placed 14th overall to lead the girls to an eighth-place team finish.

Morgan said most of the team was trying different strategies to prepare for regionals. Her race was more about slowing down than speeding up.

“I didn’t all-out sprint in the beginning,” Morgan said. “I just tried to go faster throughout the race. I think it worked.”

No. 1 LSU rolls again The Associated Press

No. 1 LSU 38, Tennessee 7 KNOXVILLE, TENN. — Jarrett Lee threw two touchdown passes, and Spencer Ware caught one and ran for another score as LSU stayed unbeaten Saturday with another rout.

The win was the seventh straight by a double-digit margin for the Tigers (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) and marked the second consecutive season they’ve swept their three SEC East foes.

No. 2 Alabama 52, Mississippi 7 OXFORD, MISS. — Trent Richardson rushed for 183 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, and Alabama’s defense smothered foundering Mississippi.

Richardson put the Rebels (2-4, 0-3 SEC) away with an electric 76-yard run midway through the third quarter and now leads the nation with six straight 100-yard games.

The Broncos, an expansion target for the Big East, routed Colorado State in their Mountain West debut Saturday behind huge games from quarterback Kellen Moore, tailback Doug Martin and wide receiver Tyler Shoemaker.

No. 15 South Carolina 14, Mississippi State 12 STARKVILLE, MISS. — Alshon Jeffery caught a fouryard touchdown pass from Connor Shaw with 3:50 left in the fourth quarter, and South Carolina rallied to beat Mississippi State.

No. 7 Stanford 44, Washington St. 14 PULLMAN, WASH. — Andrew Luck threw two thirdquarter touchdown passes to Levine Toilolo as Stanford beat Washington State to extend the nation’s longest winning streak to a school record 14 consecutive games.

Ohio State 17, No. 16 Illinois 7 CHAMPAIGN, ILL. — Daniel Herron, who hadn’t played since the Sugar Bowl in January because of NCAA suspensions, ran for 114 yards and a touchdown in his return Saturday to lead Ohio State past Illinois.

With true freshman Braxton Miller at quarterback, the struggling offense of Ohio State (4-3, 2-1 Big Ten) counted on Herron against Illinois (6-1, 2-1). The Buckeyes didn’t complete a pass until Miller hit Jake Stoneburner for a fourth-quarter touchdown and a 17-0 lead.

No. 8 Clemson 56, Maryland 45 COLLEGE PARK, MD. — Tajh Boyd threw four touchdown passes, and freshman Sammy and Clemson rallied from an 18-point deficit against Maryland to remain unbeaten.

Kansas State defeats Tech, starts 6-0 LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) — Kansas State coach Bill Snyder is working on another Miracle in Manhattan, one small stroke at a time.

“Our coach says all the time you’ve just got to keep sawing wood and eventually you’re going to get somewhere,” said Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, who ran for three touchdowns and threw for another as the surprising 17th-ranked Wildcats came from behind to beat Texas Tech, 41-34, on Saturday night. “It makes it exciting because we’re hanging together. That’s the most important thing.”

Klein ran for 110 yards on 23 carries, scoring on three short runs and hitting Chris Harper for a three-yard TD pass on the Wildcats’ (6-0, 3-0) first drive of the third quarter.

Tyler Lockett returned a kickoff 100 yards early in the second quarter for the Wildcats, who are undefeated after six games for the first time since 2000.

Snyder turned once-lowly Kansas State into a national title contender in the 1990s and came out of retirement three years ago to rebuild the Wildcats again.

He said he saw the turnaround in his team’s gumption after halftime.

“They play with determination, they play with mental toughness, they play with discipline that falters some times,” he said. “But they are diligently trying.

Texas Tech (4-2, 1-2) was held to two field goals in the second half.

KANSAS STATE’S COLLIN KLEIN (7) HEADS UPFIELD ahead of Texas Tech’s Scott Smith on Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. quarter. He also ran for a score. He had just one interception coming into the game.

“I want them all back,” Doege said. “All of them were pretty stupid on my part. As a quarterback one of our jobs is to protect the ball and I did a poor job of that tonight.”

After Texas Tech’s field goal late in the game to pull within 41-34, the Red Raiders recovered an onside kick

when Tremain Swindall fell on the ball at their own 47.

But Doege and the offense seemed to rush and failed to get a first down after running four plays.

The Wildcats, who appeared flat in the first half, came out with more energy after halftime. On Kansas State’s first possession Klein put together the Wildcats’ longest drive of the game,

capping it with a fade to the corner of the end zone to Harper to lead 28-27. The TD pass was set up after Klein scrambled out of the pocket for a 25-yard gain to the 3.

Kansas State held the ball for 33:33, while Tech’s highpowered offense had it for 26:27.

Kansas State stayed close in the first half but only because of its defense and spe-

cial teams. The offense mustered just 94 yards, less than half of those on the ground.

Texas Tech’s defense was tough against the Wildcats run, allowing Kansas State’s 26th-ranked rushing offense just 45 yards on 18 carries in the first half.

The plan was to chew up the clock and not let Texas Tech’s offense on the field.

The Red Raiders, instead, had the ball 2 minutes longer in the first half.

Doege was hot in the first half. He completed 25 of 34 passes for 296 yards, his best first-half of the season.

After Lockett’s kick return TD in the second quarter, Anthony Cantele missed the extra point to cut the deficit to 14-13. Lockett took the ball straight up the middle and into a pile of Red Raiders at about the 50. Suddenly, though, he was out front of the pile and outraced them all to the corner of the end zone.

The Wildcats blocked two field goals, setting up a touchdown with the second. Raphael Guidry blocked the kick and Nigel Malone picked it up and returned it 30 yards to the Texas Tech 46. Klein put Kansas State up 20-14 when he scored from a yard out.

The Wildcats jumped to a 7-0 lead when Nigel Malone got his fourth interception of the season, picking off Doege’s second pass of the game and ran it 24 yards for the score. He stepped in front of Bradley Marquis as if he’d read Doege’s mind and scampered untouched into the end zone.

OKLAHOMA STATE’S JOSH COOPER, RIGHT, BRINGS down a long pass against Texas safety Blake Gideon, on Saturday in Austin, Texas.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — Twice Oklahoma State’s Jeremy Smith took a handoff, hit the line of the scrimmage and braced himself to get smacked.

Instead, there was nothing but yards of green field, the burnt orange end zone and the groans of nearly 100,000 Texas fans in front on him.

Smith ran for 140 yards on seven carries, scoring on runs of 30 and 74 yards straight up the middle of the defense, and No. 6 Oklahoma State rode several big plays to a 3826 over the No. 22 Longhorns win on Saturday.

Justin Gilbert tied a school record with his fourth career kickoff return for a touchdown and the Cowboys (60, 3-0 Big 12) now have won two years in a row in Austin after 12 consecutive years of excruciating defeats.

“It’s not easy to come down here and win and they’re a much better team football team than they were last year,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.

“We never know who’s going to be the guy that makes big plays for our offense. We have so many weapons that they have to continue to play unselfish and Jeremy’s just kind of been there the last few weeks.”

Brandon Weeden passed for 218 yards with a touchdown to Justin Blackmon for Oklahoma State.

Smith, who has run for a touchdown in 10 consecutive games for the highest-scoring offense in the country, made his latest two look easy.

The first came in the second quarter on fourth-andinches when he ran off left tackle. There was no defender to meet him and he coasted to the end zone.

The second came in the third quarter and put the Cowboys ahead 38-24. Smith ran straight up the middle and Texas linebackers Keenan Robinson and Jordan Hicks got washed out of the play, leaving no defender within 10 yards with a chance to tackle him.

Texas A&M blows by Bears, 55-28 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (AP) — Texas A&M hasn’t been able to throw the ball deep all season.

On Saturday the Aggies finally discovered that aspect of their game and it propelled an already potent offense to its best performance of the year.

Ryan Tannehill threw for 415 yards and a career-high six touchdown passes and Ryan Swope caught four of them, also a career-best, to lead No. 21 Texas A&M to a 55-28 win over No. 20 Baylor.

The Bears got within six points after a touchdown run by Terrance Ganaway in third quarter, but the Aggies scored 21 straight to take a 55-28 lead with about six minutes remaining in the game.

Swope’s fourth touchdown — his second 68-yard reception of the game — was the first in that span. He finished with 206 yards receiving and also had a 68-yard TD reception in the second quarter.

He also scored on receptions of 8 and 5 yards.

Texas A&M finished with a season-high 681 yards of offense.

Swope said getting the downfield passing game going was key in the win.

“(Swope) just keeps getting better and better,” Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman said. “He’s a fierce competitor. He will do whatever he can to win the football game.”

Baylor star quarterback Robert Griffin III threw for a school-record 430 yards and three touchdowns, but the Bears had trouble running the ball and were outgained 266-50 on the ground. Griffin is the third quarterback this season to set a school record against the Aggies’ worst-inthe-nation pass defense.

He implied that a game like this could cause a wedge between offense and defense.

“There’s no dissent within the team, but you can’t sit on the sideline and be a critic,” he said. “It’s not your job as an offensive player. It’s our job to try to help the defense out as much as we can and when we get on the field to score points.”

Texas A&M (4-2, 2-1 Big 12), has won three in a row over the Bears and the loss leaves Baylor (4-2, 1-2) without a win against its longtime rival at Kyle Field since 1984.

The Bears may not get another chance, with the Aggies leaving for the SEC in July.

TEXAS’ IAN KINSLER, LEFT AND MICHAEL YOUNG CELEBRATE after winning Game 6 of the American League championship series against the Detroit Tigers, 15-5, Saturday in Arlington, Texas. The Rangers move on to the World Series.

ALCS: RANGERS WIN SERIES, 4-2

Texas buries Detroit, returns to World Series ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — Nelson Cruz and the Texas Rangers are headed to their second straight World Series, finishing off the Detroit Tigers to become the American League’s first repeat champion in a decade.

Cruz set a postseason record with his sixth home run of the series, Michael Young hit a pair of two-run doubles in a nine-run third inning, and the Rangers romped to a 15-5 win Saturday night that won the AL pennant in six games.

They’ll open the World Series on Wednesday night at St. Louis or Milwaukee, seeking the first title in the history of a franchise that started play in 1961.

Cruz had 13 RBIs in the series, another postseason record, and was selected MVP. “He was unbelievable,” teammate Adrian Beltre said.

“Every moment we needed him, he came through.”

Young, who also homered, had five RBIs in the finale, and the longest-tenured player on the Rangers helped make sure the World Series will again be deep in the heart of Texas.

Young caught Brandon In-

Bush seated in the front row alongside Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, part of the ownership group that took over the team last year, Rangers manager Ron Washington was at the edge of the dugout wildly waving his arms and shouting encouragement to his players as the big inning unfolded.

All Tigers manager Jim Leyland could do was take off his cap and scratch his head.

A franchise that began as the expansion Washington Senators and moved to Texas in 1972 had failed to reach the World Series in its first 49 seasons. Then the Rangers won their first AL pennant last year only to lose the Series to the San Francisco Giants in five games.

Texas overcame a 2-0 deficit by sending 14 batters to the plate against Detroit starter Max Scherzer (0-1) and three relievers in the highest-scoring postseason inning since 2002.

Halloween costume hits and misses I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with Halloween.

Mostly, it’s been about love.

I come from a long line of enthusiastic dresser-uppers. My grandmother, my mother and, now, my daughter and I were born with the fervent desire to be belles of the costume ball.

I’ll dress up at the drop of a witch’s hat, and not just on Halloween. Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, New Year’s, Armistice Day — any reason, any season, I’m game to get my getup on.

Q. It’s said that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

A. I’m not sure that’s true.

Harry Truman said the only new thing in the world is the history you don’t know. I think that’s a better quote.

Q. It’s also said that history is written by the victors.

A. That’s a vast oversimplification, but, yes, history does change in perspective as time goes on. All history is revisionist history because we know what followed. Otherwise, why write it?

part-time artist), with all the beautiful girls interested in me.

Many years later in Paris, I wanted to show that history is much more than just politics and the military. The idea that I could concentrate on painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, medicine and the world of ideas was more of a draw than just the setting.

Q. Why was Paris a magnet to Americans of that era?

A. It was the cultural capital of the world, with a high standard of education you could not get here. If you wanted to be better than you were, Paris was the place to go.

Q. Who are two of the Americans you write about?

A. Samuel F.B. Morse went to Paris to perfect himself as a painter but got the idea for the telegraph. Another was Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., a poet and essayist. He decided to become a physician and was so affected by (his teachers in Paris) that he came back and taught at the Harvard Medical School.

Q. Are we Americans losing touch with our own history?

A. Yes, we are, because we’re doing a grossly inadequate job of teaching history to our children and

Q. Where do we find the purest forms of history?

A. Architecture is a very pure one, and so are painting and music. For some civilizations, all we have of their histories is their art.

History is the human experience. It’s about people, not just facts and figures.

One of the most effective history teachers I had in college would not hold us (students) accountable for any (historic) dates. He said, “That’s what books are for, you can look them up.” It was as if he had told me I could put on a pair of wings and fly. It released me to really start to enjoy history.

Penny Marshall has Amazon book deal NEW YORK (AP) — Filmmaker-actress Penny Marshall has a book deal with a fresh twist: The publisher is Amazon.com.

Marshall’s agent, Dan Strone, announced Tuesday that the online retailer would release Marshall’s memoir “My Mother Was Nuts” in Fall 2012. Marshall starred in the 1970s sitcom “Laverne and Shirley” and went on to direct such big screen hits as “Big” and “A League of Their Own.” According to Strone, Marshall will also write about her marriage to Rob Reiner, her friendship with John Belushi and her fight against lung and brain cancer in 2009.

Strone told The Associated Press that several publishers bid for the book, but that Amazon “won the auction.”

He declined to offer financial details.

Not only has the historianlecturer made it more accessible than ever, he has made it sing.

Take his best-selling 2001 Pulitzer Prize-winning “John Adams,” for instance. The biography of the prickly founding father had a first printing of 350,000, a staggering number for a history book and a tribute to McCullough’s stature. In 2008, the HBO miniseries “John Adams” took home Brian Nelson, a load of awards, including director at St. Lawrence three Golden Globes.

For a while there, it looked like the novel was a goner.

This was after the French theorist invasion, when the ideas of Lacan and Derrida caught fire with American academics, turning the study of English inside out. Language was slippery, its meaning elusive, narrative old-fashioned, they said; the straightforward march of an imagined story across a page was a sham.

In the early 1980s, Charles Dickens was out; Donald Barthelme was in.

This is the world in which Madeleine wakes up, hung over, on her graduation day in Jeffrey Eugenides’ new novel, “The Marriage Plot.”

She’s at Brown, a hot center of postmodernism, yet Madeleine can’t shake her affection for unfashionable novelists like Jane Austen and Henry James. From the distance of 2011, we know that such novels have survived just fine, thank you very much, but Madeleine is trapped inside her time, feeling that she’s falling short. That’s why she took a class from a famed semiotics professor, where she

met Leonard, the handsome biology student who has left her brokenhearted and rudderless.

Meanwhile, her old friend Mitchell pines for Maddy, convinced that someday he’ll marry her.

E u g e n i d e s switches points of view among Madeleine, Mitchell and Leonard, edging the plot forward slightly as he fills in the back story. Maddy, tall and beautiful, was brought up by a private university president and his always-proper wife; she tries out different aspects of her personality through various college boyfriends.

Leonard had a dysfunctional childhood in Portland, Ore., with alcoholic parents and late-breaking academic success. Mitchell’s middle-class youth outside Detroit left him sartorially challenged, but it was firm enough to launch him into a philosophical study of religion. As the summer begins, Maddy and Leonard reconcile and Mitchell takes off to backpack for a year in Europe and India, still carrying a torch.

All is not easy for Madeleine and Leonard. He’s wildly intelligent and cut a unique figure on the Brown campus, wearing a leather jacket, chewing tobacco and being magnetically moody. But he has a hard time staying balanced: He’s got a case of manic depression severe enough that both his highs and his lows can be crippling.

She checks him out of a hospital, medicated, so he can begin a prestigious science fellowship on Cape Cod. Lithium, the standard at the time, left many of its patients somnambulant and dull, and Leonard is dogged by the sense that he can’t keep pace with his new colleagues.

In love with Leonard, Maddy is attentive, devoted and frustrated. Her mother sends cautionary articles about getting involved with a man who is mentally ill. She is bored and lonesome on Cape Cod, where she hasn’t got much to do but take care of Leonard, who’s gotten fat and miserable.

She finally attends a conference of Victorian literary scholars, sparking a new intellectual excitement and leading her toward graduate school. Eventually she admits to herself that a chance encounter with Mitchell before he left for Europe had a definite romantic component.

Far away and trying not to think of Maddy, Mitchell has no idea how difficult her relationship has become. He and a friend go to Paris, where his friend hooks up and he does not.

It happens again in Greece.

Eventually, he departs for India on his own, heading to Calcutta to volunteer for Mother Teresa. As he travels, Mitchell strives for clarity and a connection with the divine, humbly aware of his own failures. His forward motion — and his conviction that he and Maddy must end up together — provides a needed momentum to the story, which slows when it spends too much time in the past.

The love triangle is a throwback to Austen, and Eugenides seems to be casting his lot with the classic novel. “What exquisite guilt she felt, wickedly enjoying narrative!” he writes. “Mad-

eleine felt safe in a 19th-century novel. There were going to be people in it. Something was going to happen to them in a place resembling the world.”

Eugenides’ earlier books are evidence that he’s no retro artist — the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Middlesex” was part lush immigrant story, part coming-of-age of a hermaphrodite, and “The Virgin Suicides” used the first-person plural narrative voice (“we”) to tell a story of thwarted teen sexuality.

In “The Marriage Plot,” Eugenides lauds and exploits the pleasures of traditionalism while sneaking in a little postmodernism on the side.

If there is a writer to whom Eugenides appears connected, it is not David Foster Wallace but Jonathan Franzen. Last year, Franzen’s “Freedom” was a best-seller; like “The Marriage Plot,” it’s a robust, rich story of adults in a love triangle. Eugenides benefits by the comparison: This book is sweeter, kinder, with a more generous heart.

What’s more, it is layered with exactly the kinds of things that people who love novels will love.

The board approved Howe’s plan.

“We had full faith in David,” says Carrie Royce, Chief Marketing Officer at Red Nova Labs. “We knew he’d work day and night on the game because that’s what his passion is. David is oneof-a-kind.”

Right away, he set to work, putting all of his energy and effort into “Mystery Ball.”

“I’ve spent the last fiveand-a-half months working from home, working 15-hour days. I’m doing all of the art, all of the game programming, all of the game design.

It’s a 100 percent one-man thing.”

Howe powers up Mystery Ball on his iPad. The game is currently in the beta testing phase of development.

Front, allows users to search for nearby self-storage units anywhere in the nation. Visitors can find pricing, contact info and coupons, and, in some cases, reserve their storage space online.

“It’s one of those one-outof-10 lucky startup ideas that happened to be the right niche at the right time,” Howe says of StorageFront.

The success of this venture has allowed Red Nova to expand despite a nationwide recession.

As soon as StorageFront brought some financial sta-

The acronym stands for Free Range Energy Device.

“F.R.E.D. has three great fears: aphephobia, the fear of being touched; acrophobia, the fear of heights; and chronophobia, the fear of time. In the game, there are these three dials that represent his fears.”

As players progress through the game, they collect bravery badges, which help F.R.E.D. conquer his phobias and earn him new abilities. For example, when

Lifelong dreams are as funny and unique as the people who think them up, and in a few weeks David Howe, a Lawrence resident, will realize one of his. But for now, there is testing to be done.

Howe is a video game designer and right now his pride and joy is “Mystery Ball,” a creation he designed and coded for iOS, the mobile operating system behind the iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone. Howe, who graduated from Free State High School, gets to pursue his dream and draw a paycheck in the process. It’s part of his job at Red Nova Labs in Westwood, a stone’s throw from Kansas City.

“We started our company, Red Nova Labs, two and a half years ago,” Howe says.

“It’s basically a web marketing think-tank. We’ve got an engineering department, too.

I was one of the co-founders. There were seven cofounders, five coders, a CMO (chief marketing officer) and a CEO. We said, ‘We’ve got the people here. We can do almost anything on the web.

What can we do that’s exciting?’ ” This is the second small business Howe has helped found. He says that after months of miscellaneous web consulting work at Red Nova, he and his co-founders hit on a winning idea: Catalog self-storage units on the web. Their project, Storage-

bility, Howe said, he started thinking about his first passion: video game design.

Years before, Howe had attended DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, Wash., a competitive university for aspiring video game designers. Not coincidentally, DigiPen is near both Nintendo and Microsoft.

Indigenous Food Day with festival, feast

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

National Food Day seems like a fabulous time to get to know our real national food.

Not the hamburgers and hot dogs and pizzas that are considered by the culinary world as “American” cuisine. No — something with a bit more of a past.

The city of Lawrence has proclaimed Saturday as Indigenous Food Day, and with good reason. Haskell Indian Nations University is kick-starting National Food Day (which isn’t until Oct. 24) with a two-day festival featuring speakers, activities and a feast of indigenous foods.

The Haskell Indigenous Food Festival will get things going with several events aimed at the day’s core values: reducing diet-related diseases, protecting the envi-

ronment and the conditions of food and farm workers, supporting sustainable farms and promoting good health.

To start off the festival, Casey Camp-Horinek, a member of the Ponca Nation, longtime native-rights activist, environmentalist and actress, will speak at 7 p.m.

Friday in the university’s auditorium.

Starting at 1 p.m. Saturday at Stidham Union will be activities for adults and children, speakers and a guided wetlands walk.

There will be a community feast at 6 p.m. Saturday featuring indigenous and indigenous-inspired foods. All events are free and open to the public.

The food festival is sponsored by the Haskell Green Campus Initiative, private donors and the Douglas County Community Foundation.

Theroff owned a retail shop in Excelsior Springs, Mo., before moving to Lawrence in 2009 and then to Berryton last year. She says it’s been interesting to adapt her sales skills to an online store — Tivoli Design — but that she’s excited about the chance for some one-on-one time with customers.

“You build such great relationships face-to-face and over time,” says Theroff, who makes both custom and pre-made bags, clothes and art. “I think you can do that over time on the Internet too, but there’s really something that’s fun and exciting about being face-to-face and discovering new people.”

CLASSIC GUITARS AND AMPLIFIERS from the collection of actor Richard Gere are displayed Oct. 6 at Christie’s in New York. The collection includes over 100 vintage American guitars and amplifiers and were auctioned Tuesday.

Richard Gere guitar collection fetches $1M NEW YORK — A collection of American vintage guitars owned by actor Richard Gere has fetched nearly $1 million at auction in New York City.

Tuesday’s sale of 110 guitars and amplifiers at Christie’s auction house included brands such as C.F. Martin, Gibson, Fender and Gretsch and guitars once owned by blues guitarist Albert King and reggae musician Peter Tosh.

The top sale went to a 1960 solid-body Les Paul electric

guitar by Gibson, which sold for more than $98,000.

Gere says he’s parting with the instruments to support global humanitarian causes.

Christie’s says the “Pretty Woman” star studied trumpet and is a self-taught pianist and guitarist.

Gere says he never planned to assemble a guitar collection and bought only ones that he liked and that sounded good to him.

The collection was expected to sell for about $1 million.

For “Mystery Ball,” Howe decided to focus on the mobile gaming market.

Although it’s a competitive area — as many as 100 games are released for the iOS each day — Howe says the market is a “blue ocean, even still.” He put together a proposal that outlined his vision for the leadership of Red Nova Labs.

F.R.E.D. masters aphephobia he grows a handle, which allows the player to pick him up and throw him. The gameplay is simple, but can grow complex, thanks to a wide range of obstacles, “Frenemies” and “Doodads.” The latter, a kind of power-up, give F.R.E.D. extra abilities, like the power to phase-shift through glass walls.

Howe says he started his design with the gameplay mechanics, because he wanted the game to be fun first and foremost.

And so far his beta testers have responded positively.

“I like the mix of levels,” says Scott Olsen, a beta tester. “Some you need to do fast; some require more thinking at the beginning, in where to put the doodads. I would like to see some levels where you have to get all the bravery badges and if you fall off you have to start over. I like the larger levels, too, on different islands.

The more thinking required, the better.”

For his part, Howe wants to give the people what they ask for, and that includes making almost all of the changes the beta testers suggest. He believes he’s been given a unique chance to pursue his dream, and he’s determined not to let that chance go to waste.

“I have a unique opportunity here,” Howe says of developing “Mystery Ball” for Red Nova Labs. “I’m grateful to have it. I want to prove this can work.” though her products are a bit more practical than artistic, per se.

“I do a lot of emails back and forth with customers online, but they’re all over the world, and so it’s harder to have that personal perspective with it, which is such an important part of handmade items,” King says. “I think because people want to meet the people who are making things. So, you can actually talk to the person in front of you, I think that adds a lot to it.”

And customers won’t have to work hard to get it, figures Detrixhe. She says if they just have a typical fall morning, the market will easily fold into the day.

“It’s right beside the Farmers’ Market. So, people can have a very ‘Lawrence-y’ morning and get their coffee and produce and go look at some arts and crafts,” Detrixhe says. “It’s also a game day, so I’m optimistic about it being busy downtown.”

Park and said that experience opened his eyes to exactly how different his wares sell online and in person.

“You can take as nice of pictures as you want, but the reality is people want to hold it in their hands. Or the earrings for example, they hold it up to their head and say, ‘How does this look?’ to their friend,” Harden says. “Getting their hands on it helps

a lot. We sell a lot more individually when people can actually touch it, feel it, look at it.”

The market will be the first show for Jennifer King of Cozy Folk, a shop that popped up on Etsy this summer selling reusable alternatives to disposable items for kitchen, baby and personal use. She says she expects the experience to be different,

and the spider without spilling light all over the background. The effect helps to create a separation from the background.

Not everyone is going to have three strobes to work with, but even one can do the trick if positioned carefully. If no strobes are available and you’ve got a wicked

web hanging from your front porch, consider waiting until the morning or evening light is hitting it in such a way that the web is highlighted.

If the web doesn’t quite have that “pop” that you’re looking for and the spider looks like it could stand a few more minutes of the portrait session, you might try care-

fully misting the web with water from a spray bottle to help the highlighting. A gentle mist is preferable and nothing that is going to annoy your patient subject to the point of storming off the set.

With that, good luck and don’t get bitten.

a Halloween party in a barn south of town. This was a creative crowd full of artists, musicians and the like and we knew the outfits would be fabulous. The pressure was on. After days of brainstorming, the idea was hatched: We would go as retro food icons, the faces that stared back at us from the pantries of our youth. It was genius! We’d win the prize for sure!

Halloween night came. My husband — wearing emerald tights, tunic, booties and face paint — did a spot-on Jolly Green Giant. My office friend was a dead ringer for the Pillsbury Doughboy, complete with puffy white suit and comical big dot eyes.

And me? I was every baby boomer’s best friend at the breakfast table: Aunt Jemima, complete with kerchief, apron and — yes, I’m afraid so — black face.

“Could I have done without the make-up?” I asked myself in hindsight. Probably, but I’m a costume purist.

Authenticity. It’s another one of my rules.

As we entered the party, I started getting a bad feeling and begged the giant and doughboy to stay by my side.

“The concept works much better as a threesome,” I pleaded. But, as people at parties tend to do, we eventually separated and I found

myself, two hours later, standing at the bar alone, the target of disapproving stares from a pouty pirate and Mistress of the Dark in drag.

“Retro food icons. It … works … much better as a threesome,” I stammered, feeling politically incorrect, chagrined and, well, naughty.

I still love Halloween but, as seasons pass, I’ve learned it’s better to be safe than sorry.

This year, I think I’ll just go as a witch. Like Nancy Grace.

A BUS FROM AN ATRIA SENOR LIVING RESIDENCE in Topeka takes people on a fall drive on the Scenic River Road between Lecompton and the Shawnee County line last week. The fall foliage along the route, which follows the Kansas River, beckons many drivers to take the road less traveled.

Scenic River Road lives up to name —— F

Fall foliage creates stunning views from Lawrence to Tecumseh

all color occurs when chlorophyll production slows — the result of shorter days.

Leaves have red and yellow pigments year round, but the colors are masked by green chlorophyll.

Temperature and moisture have some effect but are not the primary influencing factors. The most vivid fall color occurs when there are cool nights and warm, sunny days.

Oaks and hickories are just starting to show their full autumn splendor, following right behind the brilliant colors of maples and ash trees. Douglas County has plenty of scenic views to take advantage of this time of year, but Lecompton resident Jay Lohmann believes the Scenic River Road is the best.

The Scenic River Road travels for the most part alongside the Kansas River from Lawrence to Tecumseh. The area is native forest, and in natural forest succession has reached a

point of being filled primarily with oak and hickory trees. The color of the trees, paired with the beauty of rolling hills and the slow churning Kansas River, are a nice break from the city and the highway.

Please travel the road with caution if you choose to enjoy the view. Portions are gravel, and bicyclists and runners also frequently use the road. Dogs occasionally run free, and I have seen a loose cow or two.

Lohmann says the most spectacular portion of the Scenic River Road is close

to the Douglas-Shawnee County line.

“As you get closer to Shawnee County, there are wide-open valleys where you can look out,” says Lohmann. “If you get up on any of these hills and look around, it is just spectacular.”

Lohmann also notes that he and his neighbors are used to a little extra traffic this time of year. He often sees cars with out-of-county tags and vehicle models that are rarely seen on gravel roads as others come out to enjoy the beauty of the autumn colors.

To get to the Scenic River Road from Lawrence, travel north on Kasold Drive until it ends at North 1800 Road (often referred to as smithjen@ksu.edu the Farmers’ Turnpike).

Turn left, or west, onto North 1800 Road, then turn right or north onto East 1150 Road. There is a sign designating East 1150 Road as the Scenic River Road.

The eastern section of the River Road crosses

Jennifer Smith

THE LEAVES ON A MAPLE TREE are turning from green to red as the fall season progresses.

Lake View Lake and a set of railroad tracks before turning to parallel the Kansas River. The pavement ends about the time the river finally comes into view.

Through this section, the River Road offers broad windows through the trees to look out on the river and a multitude of sandbars.

The road becomes East Seventh Street in Lecompton and eventually intersects with County Road 1029. At this point, turn

right onto 1029, then left onto County Road 1023.

Once through Lecompton, turn right again, onto East 500th Road.

The western section of the Scenic River Road is Lohmann’s favorite.

If you stay on the Scenic River Road, you will eventually end up in Tecumseh just north of U.S. Highway 40 where you can turn back, or you can continue to Kansas Highway 4 and Topeka.

The primary tree species on the River Road create a range of yellows, golds, reds and rusty brown shades. Virginia creeper and bittersweet vines climb the tree trunks with vivid hues of red and yellow. Native shrubs including coralberry add to the color in the understory.

Lohmann says he didn’t even know about the Scenic River Road until he found the house where he and his wife now reside.

Besides the views, Lohmann enjoys seeing how the place has changed over the years and the pride he and his neighbors have in taking care of the area.

“This is just a fabulous place to live,” Lohmann says.

Kovel’s Antiques: Political memorabilia value rises in election years

By Terry Kovel

Politics is in the news every day, and we’re reminding collectors that buttons, signs, medallions, bandanas and even canes were made for past election campaigns.

They are a collector’s challenge. Prices for some old and rare political collectibles are high at auctions, but many items can be found for less at house sales or hidden in your own drawers or attic. Some old political collectibles have slogans or pictures from long-forgotten campaigns. A recent catalog for a campaign-button auction pictured these examples: a button with the words, “If

we ever needed him, we need him now” (Dwight Eisenhower, 1952, $18), an 1896 bugshaped pin that represented the Gold Bug for William McKinley ($720) and the Silver Bug for William Jennings Bryan ($48), and a round button with a yellow felt border shaped like petals that was the sunflower emblem used

by Alf Landon in 1936 ($10).

Figural buttons often tell a hidden political story. A bar pin shaped like a broom with a small donkey hanging from the handle was auctioned by Hake’s Americana and Collectibles of York, Pa., for $113.

The broom symbolized the Democrats’ promise to sweep Republicans out of power in

POLITICAL COLLECTORS KNOW that this broom-and-donkey pin was made for Franklin Roosevelt’s 1932 presidential campaign. It sold, over estimate, for $113 at a Hake’s Americana and Collectibles auction in York, Pa. the 1932 election. The donkey was and still is the symbol of the Democrats. There may be unrecognized treasures in your house. Prices for political memorabilia usually go

up during a presidential election year.

extra plates and platters for a themed dinner party. I noticed that all 51 pieces were signed “M.A. Hadley.” I discovered that this pattern is called “Hot Brown Fleck” and that Mary Alice Hadley won a good-design award for it from the Museum of Modern Art in 1952. Can you tell me more about Ms. Hadley and my dishes?

A: Mary Alice Hadley (1911-1965) decorated a set of dishes for use on her family’s boat in 1939. Her friends liked the dishes so much that they asked her to make some for them. She bought the dishes, hand-decorated them and had it glazed and fired at Louisville Pottery Co. of Lou-

isville, Ky. In 1940, Mary and her husband, George, rented space at Louisville Pottery and hired a few decorators to hand-paint china. Hadley Pottery Co., which the venture had been named, moved to a building the Hadleys bought in Louisville in 1944.

They built their first kiln later that year and began firing their own pottery. “Hot Brown Fleck,” introduced in 1952, is no longer being made because the brown clay it was made from is no longer available. After Mary Alice died, George continued in the business until it was sold in 1979. The company is still in business.

Soap not safe, suitable for discipline

Dear Annie: The other day my daughter threatened to wash her 4-year-old’s mouth out with soap. I don’t want to interfere in how she disciplines her kids, but I told her I am totally against putting soap in a child’s mouth.

I explained that soap contains many chemicals that could be harmful, especially to a small child. And although my granddaughter would certainly try to spit it out, a great deal of it would likely be swallowed.

I know this form of discipline has been around for a while. Would you please tell me whether or not this is harmful? — Concerned Grandmother

Dear Concerned: This expression is so common that we worry parents don’t realize how dangerous it is to take it literally. Regular soaps contain a variety of fats and oils, but also lye, a caustic chemical, as well as dyes and perfumes. They are not intended for consumption. A few years ago, a Florida couple was charged with child abuse when they forced their 8-year-old to chew on a bar of soap and the girl landed in the hospital. Please urge your daughter to find other ways to discipline her child.

It is important that Liz not manipulate her sister. Say that you will not be getting anniesmailbox@comcast.net gifts for the adult children this year.

I suggested to my wife that once the kids turn 18 we put a halt to the exchange of holiday gifts with these adult nieces and nephews.

Apparently, it didn’t go over too well with Liz. I suggested picking names out of a hat, and that was shot down, too.

‘Potter’ actor turns private investigator in ‘Histories’ Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” franchise) portrays private investigator Jackson Brodie in “Case Histories” on “Masterpiece Mystery!” (8 p.m. Sunday, PBS, check local listings).

Based on popular novels by Kate Atkinson, “Histories” will air over the next three weeks.

Handsome, brooding, mysterious and a little odd, Brodie gets dragged into cases by strangers, neighbors and friends.

A former soldier and policeman who has left a series of burned bridges behind him, he suffers frequent nightmares about a long-buried family tragedy.

Over the course of the first installment, he solves no fewer than three inscrutable murder mysteries: one just weeks old, a second at least 17 years in the making and a 30-year-old cold case.

Brodie not only has improbable luck finding clues, witnesses and evidence, he appears shirtless quite often, something the ladies seem to like. And there are a lot of them.

“Histories” seems expertly plotted to expose Brodie to as many young female clients and victims as possible. He doesn’t seem to have any male colleagues or friends.

He does have a fetching former wife who resents that he drags his precocious young daughter on some of his assignments, exposing her to mayhem, morbidity and occasional violence.

Set in Edinburgh, Scotland, “Histories” shows off the city’s architecture and surrounding landscapes with sumptuous photography.

Some viewers will find the local accents a wee bit incomprehensible and may resort to their TV’s closed-captioning feature just to figure out what’s going on.

The languid pace and gloomy atmosphere are not helped by frequent lapses into musical montage. The first “Histories” runs two hours, but seems much longer.

Tonight’s other highlights

Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (6 p.m., CBS): Gen. John Allen, the new commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan; new revelations about Vincent van Gogh.

Game Seven of the American League Championship Series (7:05 p.m., Fox) may pre-empt the repeats listed under Sunday Series.

A girl impresses a music producer on “Prank Stars” (7 p.m., Disney).

The Bears host the Vikings on “Sunday Night Football” (7 p.m., NBC).

A witness may be hiding something on “The Good Wife” (8 p.m., CBS).

School politics on “Desperate Housewives” (8 p.m., ABC).

Nucky wants to make a federal case of his local troubles on “Boardwalk Empire” (8 p.m., HBO).

Serial murder mayhem on “Dexter” (8 p.m., Showtime).

Challenges loom as world population hits 7 billion

DEMONSTRATORS AFFILIATED WITH THE OCCUPY WALL STREET PROTESTS confront New York City police officers as they march on the street Friday in the Wall Street area.

One month after the Occupy Wall Street movement burst onto the scene and inspired similar protests across the country, it remains stubbornly decentralized, complicating everything from enforcing camp rules to writing a national platform.

OCCUPY WALL STREET

Can protests last without leaders?

By Chris Hawley and David B. Caruso

“

They have achieved popular support so much quicker than antiNEW YORK — They were out to change the world, war movement, or civil overthrow the establishment rights movement.”

Associated Press

and liberate the poor. But first somebody would have to do something about those bongo drums.

At the Occupy Wall Street protest camp in Manhattan, protesters agonized over what to do about drum players who had turned part of the site into an impromptu dance floor. The neighbors were complaining about the racket. The protesters had tried to put a time limit on the noise, but the drummers were refusing to obey.

“It’s an issue, definitely,” sighed protester Kanene Holder, 31, on Friday night.

“We’ll have to work it out.”

Reining in a few pesky percussionists would seem to be an easy task for a movement seemingly on the verge of becoming a political force. But one month after it burst onto the scene and inspired similar protests across the country, the Occupy Wall Street protest remains stubbornly decentralized, complicating everything from enforcing camp rules to writing a national platform.

On Saturday, the protesters planned to march on bank offices and into Times Square. But while their message against corporate greed has struck a nerve with many Americans, the lack of leaders in Manhattan and at other protest camps has baffled many.

In Minneapolis, Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek has been meeting every morning with a delegation of protesters — “at least, the ones who come forward and say they are the organizers,” Stanek said. “It’s a little difficult because it seems like each day it’s been a completely different group of folks.”

Leaderless for a reason Protesters say the decentralization is deliberate and note that other movements, like the 1960s civil rights effort, began in a similarly disorganized way. It also calls to mind the Arab Spring, which had influential protesters but no clear leaders, at least initially.

And some academics who have studied dissent movements say that while being “leaderless” has some drawbacks, it could also have great advantages. Chief among

— Todd Gitlin, political dissent expert at Columbia University, on the Occupy Wall Street protesters them: It has allowed people with very different backgrounds — like union workers and anarchists — to rally behind the same broad message against corporate greed, without actually agreeing much on where the country should go from here.

“They have achieved popular support so much quicker than anti-war movement, or civil rights movement,” said Todd Gitlin, an expert on political dissent at Columbia University.

Making decisions From its earliest days, the people at the heart of Occupy Wall Street have worked hard to make it a movement without leaders.

The original call for the demonstration came from the editors of the Canadian anti-consumerist magazine Adbusters in mid-July. But since then, no one on the publication’s staff has been actively involved in organizing or leading the protests.

The two men who came up with the idea, 69-year-old Adbusters co-founder Kalle Lasn and 29-year-old editor Micah White, have yet to go to New York to see the demonstration.

The large group of activists who began meeting to plan the occupation in midsummer came from a variety of groups and backgrounds, and resolved from the start that they wouldn’t elect leaders, appoint a central planning council, or even name lead negotiators to deal with New York’s police or City Hall.

“A lot of people can’t handle that — it goes to their head,” said Joey Pearson, 29, a laid-off auto worker from Cincinnati.

Instead, decisions at the camp in lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park are made at a General Assembly of protesters that sometimes numbers in the thousands, while the nitty-gritty work of organizing the encampment is carried out by a large number of autonomous work teams that largely function without central oversight.

She’s a 40-year-old mother of eight, with a ninth child due soon. The family homestead in a Burundi village is too small to provide enough food, and three of the children have quit school for lack of money to pay required fees.

“I regret to have made all those children,” says Godelive Ndageramiwe. “If I were to start over, I would only make two or three.”

At Ahmed Kasadha’s prosperous farm in eastern Uganda, it’s a different story.

“My father had 25 children — I have only 14 so far, and expect to produce more in the future,” says Kasadha, who has two wives. He considers a large family a sign of success and a guarantee of support in his old age.

By the time Ndageramiwe’s ninth child arrives, and any further members of the Kasadha clan, the world’s population will have passed a momentous milestone. As of Oct. 31, according to the U.N. Population Fund, there will be 7 billion people sharing Earth’s land and resources.

In Western Europe, Japan and Russia, it will be an ironic milestone amid worries about low birthrates and aging populations. In China and India, the two most populous nations, it’s an occasion to reassess policies that have already slowed once-rapid growth.

But in Burundi, Uganda and the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, the demographic news is mostly sobering as the region staggers under the double burden of the world’s highest birthrates and deepest poverty. The regional population of nearly 900 million could reach 2 billion in 40 years at current rates, accounting for about half of the

“

For the rich, it’s totally manageable. It’s the poor, everywhere, who will be hurt the most.”

— John Bongaarts, a vice president of the Population Council, a New Yorkbased research organization, on U.N. projections for world population growth projected global population growth over that span.

“Most of that growth will be in Africa’s cities, and in those cities it will almost all be in slums where living conditions are horrible,” said John Bongaarts of the Population Council, a New Yorkbased research organization.

Is catastrophe inevitable?

Not necessarily. But experts say most of Africa — and other high-growth developing nations such as Afghanistan and Pakistan — will be hardpressed to furnish enough food, water and jobs for their people, especially without major new family-planning initiatives.

“Extreme poverty and large families tend to reinforce each other,” says Lester Brown, the environmental analyst who heads the Earth Policy Institute in Washington. “The challenge is to intervene in that cycle and accelerate the shift to smaller families.”

Without such intervention, Brown says, food and water

Mexico’s newest export Mitt Romney’s rise to U.S. might be water challenges tea party’s

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Mexico ships televisions, cars, sugar and medical equipment to the United States. Soon, it might be sending water north.

Western states are looking south of the border for water to fill drinking glasses, flush toilets and sprinkle lawns, as four major U.S. water districts help plan one of two huge desalination plant proposals in Playas de Rosarito, about 15 miles south of San Diego. Combined, they would produce 150 million gallons a day, enough to supply more than 300,000 homes on both sides of the border.

The plants are one strategy by both countries to wean themselves from the droughtprone Colorado River. Decades of friction over the Colorado, in fact, are said to be a hurdle to current desalination negotiations.

The proposed plants have also sparked concerns that American water interests looking to Mexico are simply trying to dodge U.S. environmental reviews and legal challenges.

Desalination plants can blight coastal landscapes, sucking in and killing fish eggs and larvae. They require massive amounts of electricity and dump millions of gallons of brine back into the ocean that can, if not properly disposed, also be harmful to fish.

But desalination has helped quench demand in Australia, Saudi Arabia and other countries lacking fresh water.

Dozens of proposals are on the drawing board in the United States to address water scarcity but the only big project to recently win regulators’ blessings would produce 50 million gallons a day in Carlsbad, near San Diego. A smaller plant was approved last year in Monterey, some 110 miles south of San Francisco.

Mexico is a relative newcomer to desalination. Its largest plant supplies 5 million gallons a day in the Baja California resort town of Cabo San Lucas, with a smattering of tiny ones on the Baja peninsula. Skeptics already question the two proposed plants in Playas de Rosarito — known as Rosarito Beach to American expatriates and visiting college spring-breakers.

“It raises all kinds of red flags,” said Joe Geever, California policy coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, an environmentalist group that has fought the Carlsbad plant for years in court, saying it will kill marine life and require too much electricity.

Water agencies that supply much of Southern California, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Tijuana, Mexico, are pursuing the plant that would produce 50 million gallons a day in Rosarito near an existing electricity plant. They commissioned a study last year that found no fatal flaws and ordered another one that will include a cost estimate.

BRIEFLY Obama pushes for jobs bill WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says he’s going to travel the country telling lawmakers to do their jobs and vote in favor of his economic proposals, and he says Obama congressional Republicans should stop picking partisan fights and act.

Coming off a week when

his nearly $450 billion jobs bill died in the Senate, Obama made no reference to that failure, instead promising to renew efforts to get Republicans to vote on individual components of the legislation.

“Next week, I’m urging members of Congress to vote on putting hundreds of thousands of teachers back in the classroom, cops back on the streets and firefighters back on the job,” Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday.

“And if they vote ‘no’ on that, they’ll have to tell you why,” he said. “They’ll have to tell you why teachers in your

shortages could fuel political destabilization in developing regions.

“There’s quite a bit of land that could produce food if we had the water to go with it,” he said. “It’s water that’s becoming the real constraint.”

The International Water Management Institute shares these concerns, predicting that by 2025 about 1.8 billion people will live in places suffering from severe water scarcity.

According to demographers, the world’s population didn’t reach 1 billion until 1804, and it took 123 years to hit the 2 billion mark in 1927.

Then the pace accelerated — 3 billion in 1959, 4 billion in 1974, 5 billion in 1987, 6 billion in 1998.

Looking ahead, the U.N. projects that the world population will reach 8 billion by 2025, 10 billion by 2083. But the numbers could be much higher or lower, depending on such factors as access to birth control, infant mortality rates and average life ex-

pectancy — which has risen from 48 years in 1950 to 69 years today.

“Overall, this is not a cause for alarm — the world has absorbed big gains since 1950,” said Bongaarts, a vice president of the Population Council. But he cautioned that strains are intensifying: rising energy and food prices, environmental stresses, more than 900 million people undernourished.

“For the rich, it’s totally manageable,” Bongaarts said.

“It’s the poor, everywhere, who will be hurt the most.”

The executive director of the U.N. Population Fund, former Nigerian health minister Babatunde Osotimehin, describes the 7 billion milestone as a call to action — especially in the realm of enabling adolescent girls to stay in school and empowering women to control the number of children they have.

“It’s an opportunity to bring the issues of population, women’s rights and family planning back to center stage,” he said in an interview. “There are 215 million women worldwide who need family planning and don’t get it. If we can change that, and these women can take charge of their lives, we’ll have a better world.”

community don’t deserve a paycheck again. They’ll have to tell your kids why they don’t deserve to have their teacher back. They’ll have to tell you why they’re against common-sense proposals that would help families and strengthen our communities right now.”

Jobs memorial set for today NEW YORK — Apple is holding a memorial service for Steve Jobs today at Stanford University.

The Wall Street Journal says invitations have gone out to

Silicon Valley luminaries and other people close to Jobs.

Apple tells the newspaper that the evening event is private.

Apple has said that no public services are planned.

Jobs, who co-founded Apple and was the mastermind behind popular gadgets such as the iPhone and the iPad, died Oct. 5 at 56 after struggling for years with pancreatic cancer.

The Journal says a small private funeral was held a week ago. Apple is also holding an event this Wednesday for employees at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. It’s billed as a celebration of his life.

clout in GOP

By Charles Babington Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney’s early success in the Republican presidential race is challenging the tea party’s clout. Will it continue to pull the GOP sharply right? Will it slowly fade? Or merge with mainstream Republican elements in a nod to pragmatism, something it’s hardly known for?

On the surface, Romney’s s t r e n g t h Romney seems at odds with the tea party’s fiery success in ousting Republicans seen as compromisers, and in making the House GOP caucus more ideological, even when its leaders plead for flexibility.

Romney defends the government’s 2008 bank bailouts, plus the mandated health insurance he initiated as Massachusetts governor.

He says he can work with “good Democrats.” Although he later changed, Romney once supported abortion rights, gun control and gay rights.

These positions run counter to the beliefs and goals of many tea party activists scattered throughout the country. Yet Romney is faring better in polls, fundraising and debates than are contenders with stronger tea party credentials, including Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry.

Several Republican strategists, and even some tea party leaders, say they aren’t surprised or alarmed. Their overarching goal is to defeat President Barack Obama next year, they say, and if Romney is best-positioned to do that, they’ll endure his shortcomings.

“The perception that tea partyers are ideological purists is wrong,” said Sal Russo, a long-time Republican strategist in California and

a leader of the Tea Party Express. “We are a broadbased movement,” he said, “and we are looking to win in 2012.”

Danny Diaz, a Washington-based Republican strategist unaligned with any presidential candidates, agrees.

“The tea party movement is an anti-Washington movement,” he said. While Perry and Herman Cain might make a more dynamic claim to that mantle, he said, Romney has never lived in Washington, and tea party activists won’t rule him out.

“Many of them are pragmatists,” Diaz said. They desperately want to oust Obama, he said, and “they need a candidate that’s electable.”

A CBS-New York Times poll found that tea partyers are more satisfied with the GOP presidential field than are Republicans in general. Cain was the top choice among tea party activists, with Romney second.

Some campaign veterans see bigger problems ahead for Romney.

Polls of Republicans show Romney holding steady at about 25 percent, while Bachmann, Perry and Cain take turns making surges.

“That tells me that 75 percent of the primary voters would really rather have someone else,” said GOP lobbyist and consultant Mike McKenna.

Many tea party activists have little or no loyalty to the Republican Party, and McKenna predicts big problems next year if they feel their conservative values were sacrificed for political expediency. “Romney would cause enormous numbers of tea party-type voters to simply not show on game day,” he said.

The chief question, he said, “is whether one candidate will be able to aggregate the anti-Romney Republicans before it is too late.” Perry seems the likeliest choice, McKenna said, “but the clock is ticking.”
