Changing for the better Southwest Oregon Regional Airport celebrated two recent upgrades Tuesday night ■

BY TIM NOVOTNY The World

By Tim Novotny, The World

Prior to Tuesday’s ribbon cutting,a crowd casts shadows over the schematic drawing of the recently unveiled 30,000-square-foot hangar building at the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport in North Bend. The Coos County Airport District will now ramp up efforts to find a paying customer, or customers, to utilize the structure.

NORTH BEND — When dignitaries gathered at Southwest Oregon Regional Airport on Tuesday night, the only thing missing was the shades.

Because, for those involved in the latest upgrades, the future hasn’t looked this bright in quite a while.

The airport makeover included a 30,000-square-foot hangar, an

additional 85,000 square feet of space in front of the hangar, and office space.

The project, which originally included the demolition of the old World War II-era hangar that sat on the same site, included a grant of more than $2 million from Connect Oregon.

But, Murphy’s Law being what it is, the project ended up getting delayed after the old hangar caught fire during its demolition in December of 2012.

The blaze caused some breaks in construction as insurance payments needed to be sorted out among a number of companies.

So, the prevailing emotions this week were relief and optimism.

“I think that is kind of our atti-

tude,” said Helen Brunell Mineau, one of the Coos County Airport District commissioners. She explained that the relief is from the project being finished, but they now have a great opportunity lying before them to help benefit the local economy.

“It’s $2.2 million worth of an investment,” she said, referring to the grant funding. “We are now celebrating the fact that we have a brand new hangar that you could put a 737 in. We are kind of excited about that, the possibilities of somebody locating a plane here, leaving it here, having it based here, would be fabulous. It would be a boost to our SEE AIRPORT | A8

Attorney General Holder resigning

Working and playing on the bay

WASHINGTON — The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits increased last week after falling sharply two weeks ago.

Despite the rise, the level of applications remains near pre-recession levels, a sign that hiring will likely remain healthy.

Weekly unemployment benefit applications rose 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 293,000, the Labor Department said Thursday.

Yet the four-week average, a less volatile measure, fell for the second straight week to 298,500.

The figures are “very low ... close to all-time lows when measured as a share of payrolls,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, in a research note. “We expect robust job growth in the months ahead.”

Two weeks ago, applications had plummeted to 281,000, near a 14-year low first reached in July.

Over the past year, the four-week

average for applications has fallen 7.1 percent. They climbed above 650,000 during the recession in 2009.

Applications are a proxy for layoffs. Fewer applications indicate that employers are holding onto their workers, likely because they are more confident about the economy. It may also indicate they will boost hiring.

The total number of people receiving benefits ticked up by 7,000 to 2.4 million. A year ago, 3.9 million people were receiving unemployment aid. That number has fallen sharply partly because of the expiration of extended benefits, a program that ended at the beginning of this year.

Applications fell steadily SEE JOBLESS | A8

Services for female veterans fall short

BY MATTHEW DALY The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Veterans Affairs Department and other government agencies are not doing enough to help women who served in the military, even as their number is rising dramatically, according to a new report.

The report, released Wednesday by the Disabled American Veterans, identified serious gender gaps in virtually every program serving veterans, including health care, job training, finance, housing, social issues and combatting sexual assault.

The advocacy group’s report blamed most of the deficiencies on a disregard for the needs of female veterans, saying the VA and other agencies focus on “the 80 percent solution for men who dominate (veterans affairs) in both numbers and public consciousness.”

A sharp increase in reporting of

military sexual trauma is an illustration of problems that require “radical change” at the VA and throughout the military, the report says.

“At a time when the number of women veterans is growing to unprecedented levels, our country is simply not doing enough to meet their health, social and economic needs,” said Joy Ilem, DAV’s deputy director. national legislative Female veterans “deserve equal respect, consideration and care as the men who served, yet the support systems are ill-equipped to meet the unique needs of the brave women who have defended our country,” she said.

Unemployment applications in U.S. rise

WASHINGTON — Eric Holder, who served as the public face of the Obama administration’s legal fight against terrorism and weighed in on issues of racial fairness, is resigning after six years on the job. He is the nation’s first black attorney general.

The White House said that President Barack Obama would announce Holder’s departure later Thursday and that Holder planned to remain at the Justice Department until his successor was in place.

White House officials said Obama had not made a final decision on a replacement for Holder, who was one of the most progressive voices in his Cabinet.

Advisers to Obama and Holder said the attorney general had been planning his departure with the president for some time. Some possible candidates who have been discussed among administration officials include Solicitor General Don Verrilli, California Attorney Harris, Kamala General Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a former Rhode Island attorney general.

Holder, a 63-year-old former judge and prosecutor, took office in early 2009 as the U.S. government grappled with the worst financial crisis in decades and with divisive questions on the handling of captured terrorism suspects, issues that helped shape his tenure as the country’s top law enforcement official. He is the fourth-longest serving attorney general in U.S. history.

He also took on questions of racial fairness, working to improve police relations with minorities, enforce civil rights laws and remove disparities in sentencing. Most recently he became the Obama administration’s point man in the federal response to the police shooting last month of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-yearold in Ferguson, Missouri.

The news of Holder’s resignation came as civil rights leaders and the families of Brown and Eric Garner, who died in a New York City police chokehold this summer, were appearing at a news conference in Washington calling on the Justice Department to take over investigations into the deaths.

The Rev. Al Sharpton urged the White House to meet with civil before representatives rights appointing a replacement. “There has not been an attorney general with a civil rights record equal to Attorney General Eric Holder,” Sharpton said.

NPR was first to report his departure.

Rogue River jet boats

BY GAIL ELBER

whitewater between Illahe and Marial, so when the Marial post office closed in 1954, it was the nation’s last postal facility to be served only by pack mule.

Though gasoline engines were added to the boats in the early 1900s, operators had to pole them over shallows to protect the propellers.

By the 1930s, 60-horsepower Model A Ford engines were powering the boats.

In the 1960s, jetboats, which can pass over shallower riffles than propeller-driven boats, were introduced.

For The World

Until the 1890s, settlers along the Rogue River were isolated, relying on pack mules to receive supplies. In 1883, the Post Office Department agreed to a one-year trial of a mail-boat route between Wedderburn on the coast and Big Bend, 40 miles upriver. The trial was a success, and a succession of mail boats — rowed, poled, pushed and sailed — began to ply the river. Under human power, the trip took four days.

No boat could navigate the

Celebrating tradition — and pride Our view Marshfield High School’s Heritage Hall represents a rich and deep emotional bond.

What do you think?

The World welcomes letters. Email us at letters@theworldlink.com.

Being inside Heritage Hall is like taking a stroll through a giant high school yearbook.

But this yearbook covers the 20th century.

The hall officially opens this Saturday, capping more than two years of planning and dreaming, fundraising and sweat, all in the name of tradition.

And as everyone knows, Marshfield High School is laden with tradition.

The wall panels document the decades in photo collages that beg you to look for classmates, students, teachers, counselors. The images bring back memories, mostly happy, some sad. All are

shared by this fraternity that is Pirate alumni.

Heritage Hall will be a remarkable accomplishment because it represents a physical expression of the emotions everyone feels who has ever been associated with the school. And after all, tradition is really just a bundle of emotions that, together, represent a sense of belonging.

Another remarkable aspect of the Hall is the time it took to become reality.

Relatively speaking, two years is not a long time at all for a project like this. We all know of similar kinds of endeavors that have taken

longer to get done. But for Heritage Hall, tradition and sense of belonging went into overdrive.

The project’s committee was able to raise some $240,000 in cash from individuals, businesses and families and received about as much in in-kind support from an additional 30 people or groups.

Kelly Hoy, who taught and coached in the Coos Bay School District for 30 years, built the display cabinets.

Bob Jenkins, a 1965 Marshfield graduate, did most of the carpentry.

Dozens of other volunteers helped gather and curate the

multitude of photos and other sport and academic memorabilia now on display.

And dozens more shared stories of years ago.

That’s how strong Marshfield pride is. Through good times and bad, the sense of pride, tradition and belonging has only grown stronger and deeper.

And starting this Saturday, it will all be in open display for everyone to experience.

Go see for yourself. The Hall will be open to the public from 2-4 p.m.

And remember — Once a Pirate, Always a Pirate.

Love should be on parade March may be a bit far off, but a St. Patrick’s Day brawl has come early. No one seems happy by the recent decision to include OUT@NBCUniversal, an LGBT activist group to participate in New York’s St. Patrick’s Day parade.

For the sake of clarity: St. Patrick is the patron saint of the archdiocese of New York, and though Catholics have always been a big part of the parade, the parade is not run by the Church. And while the NBC group’s position on LGBT issues does not gibe with Catholic teaching, it’s somewhat consistent with the parade’s history to let the group march, as the NBC group is not so much political as civic — it’s about fellowship, not politics.

And while most commentary is currently of the angry variety at the moment, this could be an opportunity, as New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan has put it, for some “unity,” for a celebration of common human dignity.

“We believe that love is our mission, and that this mission is the only way we can be fully alive and be who we were created to be,” says a church text published in preparation for the KATHRYN pope’s expected visit to LOPEZ America next fall, when he’s scheduled to attend Columnist a conference on the family. “We believe that this love should be taught, shared and communicated in and through the family, the domestic church.”

This “love is our mission” stuff might sound trite, but it is exactly that kind of basic renewal and what it could bring for men, women and families that so concerns the Church as of this moment. It’s about people who live their faith in the world and thus serve as beacons to others, providing inspiration and an example of what concrete faith looks like.

Groups such as Courage, which serves and supports men and women attracted to members of the same gender who choose to live chastely — joyfully, but by no means in a Pollyannaish or all-problems-solved way.

“Look at the face of the other ... discover that he has a soul, a history, and a life, that he is a person and that God loves this person,” begins a documentary the group made, which can be viewed at everlastinghills.org. The quote comes from Pope Benedict.

In explaining his decision to be grand marshal of the parade even with the OUT group, Cardinal Dolan said “people with same-sex attraction are God’s children, deserving dignity and respect, never to be treated with discrimination or injustice.”

This is in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It’s been said again and again — even by a pope — but it sometimes takes a media circus for it to be heard.

Probably the best-known contemporary exemplar of practical faith, hope and love was Mother Teresa.” Her love was concrete and enterprising,” Pope John Paul II said of her shortly after her death.

The Missionaries of Charities, which Mother Teresa founded, serve the “poorest of the poor,” reaching out to the most forgotten and even feared. “It spurred her to go where few had the courage to go, wherever poverty was so great as to be frightening,” JPII said. According to him, Mother Teresa “incarnated that love which Jesus indicated as the distinctive mark of his disciples.”

Whether over green beer or after Mass, nothing about Church teaching is going to resonate if the love that Mother Teresa radiated is missing. Let’s keep it in the parade.

Letters to the Editor And you ready for new charter?

Jon Barton provided an excellent overview. Americans for Responsible Responsive, Government (ARRRG), through petition process, placed on the ballot measure 6-149, the Home Rule Charter.

Jon’s theme, the Charter ties the hands of “hamstrung with requirements” government and restricts quick action. Jon is correct, the Charter takes away the politicians rubber stamp, and does not allow a delegation of authority, such as a county administrator.

I certainly agree with Jon. The commissioners will be

severely restricted by having to disclose time spent on the job and expenses claimed, with detailed records open to the public. Four out of five agreed votes will be necessary to approve the agenda or stop it.

And worst, commissioners can be held responsible and liable for not following the Charter, and be fined. What is this world coming to?

Of course, transparency issue just flies out the window, so many restrictions in requiring a public vote to move forward, government will slow to a crawl.

Just think about what the public will have to vote on: contracts, expenditures over $165,000, indebtedness exceeding $5,000, disposing of assets over $25,000,

land use issues, Urban Renewal Agency issues, Enterprise Zone consents, nuisances ordinance, change to Veteran’s Office location, elected officials salaries and cost of living, non-union.

Yes, gridlock and slow down could result.

More restriction, documents provided to the public without cost, can’t participate in “green” organizations, and then, changing, modifying or repealing the Charter — just as much time and work would have to go into that process as has now taken to put it on the ballot.

Yes, I am agreeing with Jon. This Charter is a restrictive, slowing down process. But, creating transparency, resulting in accountability, liability and

responsibility from our county government. And thus, involvement of the voters of Coos County is going to be required.

Are you up to the task?

When lawmakers forget U.S. interests I’m trying to look on the bright side of what passed for debate over another doomed effort to secure U.S. interests by embarking on the fruitless pursuit, cultivation and empowerment of Islamic “moderates,” this time in Syria. In deliberations resembling a stampede, we heard: The ISIL is coming, the ISIL is coming!

Quick, leave our own borders undefended and save Saudi Arabia!

That seemed be the subtext, anyhow, to much talk of Syria.

There were odd glimmers of light as when House Appropriations Committee chairman Harold Rogers erupted in candor to say, “They use the term ‘moderates.’ I don’t know a moderate person in Syria.” Rogers also gave voice to the ever elusive obvious in noting that “arms that we supplied in Iraq and Afghanistan, American arms” are now in enemy hands.

He could have added Libya to the list and established the unmistakable trend. The U.S. is a total failure at rewiring the Islamic world, the impossible dream of disastrous wars and other interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, “the Middle East peace process” and elsewhere. Now, with predictably tragic consequences, we’re about to do it again.

And still our own nation’s borders remain undefended. I know I just said that, but this epic failure to protect these United States at our first and last line of defense — the ultimate betrayal — cannot be underscored enough. Killers — terrorists and disease — have easy access to our towns and neighborhoods, and our leaders’ priorities are elsewhere.

One look at the world map, however, shows that the most dire threat the ISIL-proc l a i m e d “caliphate” in Iraq and Syria poses is to the seat of the DIANA “ s h a d o w - WEST caliphate” next Columnist door in Saudi Arabia, as the headquarters of the international Islamic organization, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, is sometimes called.

A recent Saudi opinion poll reportedly released on social media claimed that 92 percent of respondents agree that ISIL “conforms to the values of Islam and Islamic law.” If the poll is even half-accurate, the ISIL threat could well be existential to Saudi Arabia. For all of ISIL’s barbaric violence, even including the most recent beheadings of Westerners in the region, ISIL poses no such existential threat to the United States. If it did, though, this latest vector of jihad would in no way be blunted by U.S. support for Islamic “moderates” again.

“Nobody has a better idea,” Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., told The Washington Post by way of explaining his support for the president’s plan to arm and train Syrian “moderates” in Saudi Arabia to fight ISIL in Iraq and Syria. “Total isolation doesn’t seem appealing at the present time, and the vote itself is legally the smallest possible thing. The interpretation of the vote will be that we vaguely support his not-

entirely specific plan.”

On the force of such rhetoric — regrettably typical — Congress approved the president’s antiISIL, pro-"moderate” program.

Then again, maybe interventionists voted for old time’s sake after retired ambassadors and generals from the failed Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns sent around a letter saying what a great idea it was to turn “properly vetted members of the Syrian opposition” — as if! — “(into) a moderate force”— as if! — “that is capable of defeating ISIL and bringing about a post-Assad Syria that is free of terror.”

And rainbows and unicorns will return to the land.

Only they won’t. They haven’t anywhere the U.S. has tried to work “moderate” magic before.

Just ask the bereaved families of U.S. soldiers killed by “properly vetted” Iraqi and Afghan “moderates” — a point powerfully driven home in a floor speech by Rep. R-Calif.

McLintock, Tom Meanwhile, how is the administration that designated jihad at Fort Hood a case of “workplace violence” supposed to tell “moderate” from “extremist”?

Let’s go back to Saudi Arabia, the not-so-secret central front in this effort to stop ISIL before it’s too late (for Riyadh?). The kingdom, a sharia-dictatorship par excellence, will be the training site for the “moderate” army as our “full partner,” according to the Obama administration. Secretary of State John Kerry, Time magazine declared in a headline, has now “(Enlisted) Saudi King in War of Ideas Against ISIS.” That’s rich. Never mind the

reports linking the Saudis and others (including Uncle Sam) to the rise of ISIL. Given that the Koran is the constitution of the Islamic state — Saudi Arabia, that is — where leaving Islam is a capital crime, where public beheadings (even for “sorcery”) are a frequent feature of public order, where religions besides Islam are banned, where, of course, there is no freedom of speech, where female genital mutilation is prevalent, where women can’t drive, where there is no public association of men and women, this is one “war of ideas” that may be fought only in the trenches of Kerry’s no-man’s land of a mind. Do the rest of us really have to follow along to support one “caliphate” over another?

On Sept. 1, a Saudi appeals court upheld the sentence of human rights activist Raif Badawi, co-founder of Liberal Saudi Network, a website created to foster political and social debate. For this “crime” of blogging — tweeting — about reform, Badawi was sentenced by the Saudi government to 10 years in prison, a 10-year travel ban thereafter, a fine of one million Saudi Riyals (roughly $267,000), and 1,000 public lashes. Could ISIL improve much on that? As reported by the Gulf Center for Human Rights, the court stipulated that Badawi receive “no more than 50 lashes per session, with a break of no less than a week between sessions. It is feared that the sentence and the first of the lashes will be imposed any day.”

Will that day be before or after our “moderates” come marching in?

Obituaries and State Illusion of perfect marriage is shattered by man’s discovery DEAR ABBY: I always thought that “Lana,” my wife of 14 years, and I had the perfect marriage. When I discovered she was having an affair, it hit me like a train wreck. After many weeks of trying to discover who she really is, I found out she has had several affairs throughout our marriage.

I still love my wife and feel I could forgive her and regain my trust in her. The problem is, she says she DEAR is trying to recover from her actions, so she can no longer hear about my problems or respond to any of my quesJEANNE PHILLIPS tions.

Lana is now saying I need to see someone to discuss our issues with. We are already seeing a marriage counselor, but I suspect he is too connected to us as a couple. What do you think? — LOST IN LIMBO DEAR IN LIMBO: I think the marriage counselor should have made clear to you and your wife that in order for trust to be rebuilt it takes LOTS of dialogue and listening on the part of both spouses. And painful as it may be for Lana, she owes you the answers to your questions.

That said, I think she is correct in suggesting you talk to someone individually.

With the help of a licensed psychotherapist — someone who is there JUST FOR YOU — you may be able to rationally decide whether your wife is capable of being the person you assumed she was, and if staying married to her is the best thing for you.

DEAR ABBY: My mother died a few years ago after a prolonged illness. My father has found a new lady (“Colette”) to share his life, and they are now engaged.

My problem is my sisters.

We are all adults with families of our own. They don’t like Colette at all. They are rude to her and behave like spoiled children. Colette is very different from Mom, but our family has always been open-minded and taken pride in our conviction that “normal” is just a setting on the dryer.

Colette isn’t after Dad’s money, nor is she forcing her way into our lives. She’s also not trying to replace Mom. It appears she genuinely cares for our dad, which I can understand. He’s a good man, smart, attractive and fun to be with.

Dad is happy as a clam.

He’s enjoying life and has lots more life to live. The only thing that mars his happiness is my sisters’ attitudes. What can I do to help them? I don’t want to be too harsh because I know they are still grieving, but I hate to see them drive a wedge into what remains of our family. — JOY IN TEXAS DEAR JOY: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother. Perhaps you should remind your sisters how grateful they should be that your father has been able to find happiness after losing your mother. Not all widowers are able to do that.

Stress that his desire to remarry is a tribute to the relationship he had with your mother, because men who had unfulfilling marriages usually don’t want to commit again.

Point out that they have nothing to gain by alienating Colette and a lot to lose, because the more they treat her with disrespect, the farther away they will drive her — and your dad. Then suggest that if they can’t resolve their grief, they join a support group or consult a therapist for help.

Police: small dog fatally mauled on Ore. streetcar S TATE D I G E S T

PORTLAND (AP) — Police say a Pomeranian dog was fatally mauled by a pit bull Wednesday night on a Portland streetcar.

The Oregonian reports that one witness says a woman and her pit bull boarded the car in northwest Portland and the larger dog almost immediately lunged at the Pomeranian already on board.

Witness Cole VlietSutten says the pit “put its The Assocaited Press mouth over the other dog’s Francisco Aguirre, a community activist who first came to the U.S. from El Salvador two decades ago, poses head” in an attack that he for a photo Wednesday in the church where he has taken refuge nearly a week ago to avoid deportation. describes as “a horror scene.”

Immigrant who hid in church gains support

BY GOSIA WOZNIACKA The Associated Press

PORTLAND — As an immigrant activist’s stay at an Oregon church to avoid deportation nears a week, he’s gaining supporters, including Portland’s mayor, and the church plans a rally for him.

But court documents reveal more details about the troubled past of Francisco Aguirre, 35, who came to the U.S. from El Salvador nearly two decades ago and is facing removal to his native country

because of an old drug conviction and a previous deportation.

Aguirre — who has two U.S. citizen children and is now the coordinator of a Portland nonprofit that runs a day labor center — disputes the criminal prosecution on drug-dealing charges 15 years ago and says he was innocent.

He has vowed to remain at Augustana Lutheran Church in Portland until he’s able to resolve his immigration case.

In recent years, as immigration reform has stalled,

churches around the country have offered sanctuary to immigrants who lack legal status because federal officials generally don’t make arrests at sensitive locations such as churches.

“I’m a part of this community, and this is where I belong,” Aguirre said.

Portland-area churches and local leaders support Aguirre, pointing to his contributions during the past decade as a labor and immigrant rights’ organizer and a family man.

Proposal: Media needs permit to film in wilderness SEATTLE (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service is proposing permanent new rules that would require media organizations to obtain a permit to film and shoot photographs in more than 100 million acres of the nation’s wilderness.

Under the plan, the Forest Service would consider the nature of a proposed project before approving a special use permit then charge fees of up to $1,500 for commercial filming and photography in federally designated wilderness areas.

Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association, said such rules

would be a clear violation of the First Amendment and raises concerns about press freedom, including whether denying a permit would amount to prior restraint.

“What if they deny you a permit because they don’t like the story you’re working on?” he asked.

Liz Close, the Forest Service’s acting wilderness director, said the Wilderness Act of 1964 prohibits comenterprise in mercial wilderness.

The rules exclude breaking news situations, defined as “an event or incident that arises suddenly, evolves quickly, and rapidly ceases to

be newsworthy.”

But Osterreicher said the agency ignores big distinctions between editorial and commercial use and also should not be allowed to define what constitutes breaking news.

“We’re headed down a really slippery slope if we allowed the government to include editorial and news gathering activities in commercial use,” he said.

Close said the current rules have been in place for 48 months, and the proposal released this month would make those guidelines permanent. Public comments are due by Nov. 3.

Man gets life sentence in fatal stabbing OREGON CITY (AP) — An Oregon judge has sentenced a 31-year-old man to life in prison for fatally stabbing his wife’s ex-husband.

The Oregonian reports that Marcos Pico has no possibility of parole for 25 years.

He was sentenced Wednesday in Clackamas County Circuit Court in the Dec. 13, 2011, death of Jonathan Waldorf.

The victim was ambushed and stabbed 16 times by an attacker dressed in black as Waldorf arrived home in an upscale Damascus subdivision late at night.

School bus rolls into ditch, no injuries PLEASANT HILL (AP) — It was a rough morning for the 67-year-old driver on an Oregon school bus. State Police say the man pulled over and stopped the bus due to heavy traffic and a child jumping out of his seat.

However, once the driver was out of his seat he noticed the bus begin to roll because the parking brake wasn’t set.

Lt. Gregg Hastings says the driver raced back to his seat and got the bus under control as it came to rest in a steep ditch Wednesday morning.

Hastings says no one was injured.

Logger killed while felling trees PORTLAND (AP) — Authorities say a logger died when he was pinned by a tree that struck him in northwest Oregon.

The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office says 61-yearold Donald J. Wolcott of Cathlamet, Washington, died at the scene Wednesday.

He had been working on Weyerhauser property located between the two forks of Green Timber Creek.

Investigators ruled the death an accident.

Group says rules halt youth camps SALEM (AP) — A Christian group says state regulators are thwarting plans to expand youth camps at an Oregon site that became notorious in the 1980s when an Indian guru and his followers took over the area.

The Legislature last year passed a law requiring the state land-use agency to write rules for new youth camps such as the ones that the nondenominational Young Life proposes near Antelope in Central Oregon, the Bend Bulletin reports.

The area is dry and sparsely populated, something that attracted Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, a guru from India, and thousands of followers into a religious enclave they called Rajneeshpuram.

Nation Expectations low for improved relations UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Stalled nuclear talks and the delicate diplomacy surrounding the fight against Islamic extremists have lowered expectations for a rapid warming of relations between Iran and the United States as the Iranian leader returns to speak at the United Nations on Thursday.

President Hassan Rouhani’s election last year signaled a thaw in more than three decades of U.S-Iranian hostilities, leading to a landmark phone conversation with President Barack Obama during last year’s U.N. General Assembly, which was Rouhani’s first as president.

Congress releases war funds to fight Ebola WASHINGTON (AP) — Top lawmakers in Congress

NATIONAL D I G E S T have approved the use of leftover Afghanistan war money to fight Ebola in West Africa.

But a House Appropriations Committee spokeswoman said just $50 million of President Barack Obama’s $1 billion request has been approved for immediate use under the opaque process by which top congressional panels OK transfers between agency accounts.

Navajo to get $554 million in settlement FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — The Navajo Nation will receive more than $550 million as part of a settlement with the federal government that officials

say is the largest of its kind.

The tribe agreed earlier this year to settle the case involving mismanagement of its resources, but it was awaiting signatures from federal agencies.

Man raised $55K to for potato salad party COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A man who jokingly sought $10 from a crowdfunding website to pay for his first attempt at making potato salad and ended up raising $55,000 is making good on his promise to throw a huge party.

Zack Brown is planning PotatoStock 2014, an allages, charity-minded party Saturday in downtown Columbus featuring bands, food trucks, beer vendors, potato-sack races and definitely potato salad.

Suspect captured, UVa student still missing GALVESTON,Texas (AP) — A man charged with abducting a missing University of Virginia sophomore has been captured in Texas and is awaiting extradition — but there is still no sign of the student, authorities said.

On Thursday morning, Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., 32, appeared briefly before a Galveston County judge via a video link from jail to hear the charges against him. In Texas, he’s charged with being a fugitive from justice and with giving false information to an officer, in addition to a count of abduction with intent to defile in Virginia. Judge Mark Henry set bond at $1,500 on the false information charge but held Matthew without bond on the fugitive count.

Matthew — in a dark green jumpsuit, with his hands cuffed — signed several papers and told Henry that before his arrest in Texas he was not out on bond on any other charges.

Matthew asked the judge a few short questions and expressed concern that his

clothes were taken from him when he was booked into the Galveston County jail. “I should be able to have some kind of clothing,” he said.

Henry told him that his jumpsuit was sufficient clothing and that his personal items would be returned later.

After the appearance, Henry told KPRC-TV that he expected Matthew would be extradited to Virginia within a day or two. Officials have not released any details about an extradition.

Matthew was arrested Wednesday afternoon on a beach in the sparsely populated community of Gilchrist by Galveston County Sheriff’s authorities, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said. The capture came less than a full day after police announced they had probable cause to arrest Matthew on charges of abduction with intent to defile Hannah Graham, an 18-year-old sophomore who went missing on Sept. 13 in Charlottesville.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Orders for long-lasting manufactured goods slumped in August as demand for commercial aircraft descended from record highs, but investment plans by businesses posted promising gains.

Durable goods orders fell 18.2 percent in August following a 22.5 percent jump in July, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. Both the big increase and the big drop were records. They reflected sharp swings in demand for commercial aircraft, an

extremely volatile category that can skew overall results.

Airplane orders fell 74.3 percent in August.

More importantly, however, a key category that serves as a proxy for business spending plans rose 0.6 percent.

The figure offers further evidence that manufacturing is a key source of strength for the economy this year.

Economists expect businesses to boost spending as they expand and modernize their operations.

Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon

Macroeconomics, said that the plunge in overall orders simply reflected “a return to more normal orders for Boeing after their massive July jump.”

Orders for motor vehicles and parts also fell, declining 6.4 percent after a 10 percent increase in July. The August dip was expected to be temporary given the strong sales gains automakers have enjoyed this year.

Excluding the volatile transportation category, orders would have risen 0.7 percent in August after a 0.5 percent drop in July.

World Sierra Leone to cordon off 3 districts to stop Ebola W ORLD D I G E S T

The Associated Press

In this Sept. 7 photo, new pipelines that will carry gas from Texas to Mexico, eventually reaching the city of Guanajuato, are laid underground near General Bravo, in Nuevo Leon state, Mexico. So far this year, thieves across Mexico have drilled so many illegal taps into state-owned pipelines, siphoning off gas and oil, that they're on pace to set a new annual record.

Cartels steal billions from oil industry CIUDAD MIER, Mexico (AP) — Mexico overcame 75 years of nationalist pride to reform its flagging, stateowned oil industry. But as it prepares to develop rich shale fields along the Gulf Coast, and attract foreign investors, another challenge awaits: taming the brutal drug cartels that rule the region and are stealing billions of dollars’ worth of oil from pipelines. released by Figures Petroleos Mexicanos last week show the gangs are becoming more prolific and sophisticated. So far this year, thieves across Mexico have drilled 2,481 illegal taps into stateowned pipelines, up more than one-third from the same period of 2013. Pemex estimates it’s lost some 7.5 million barrels worth $1.15 billion.

Pemex director Emilio Lozoya called the trend “worrisome.”

More than a fifth of the illegal taps occurred in Tamaulipas, the Gulf state neighboring Texas that is a cornerstone for Mexico’s future oil plans. It has Mexico’s largest fields of recoverable shale gas, the natural gas extracted by fracturing rock layers, or fracking.

Mexico, overall, is believed to have the world’s sixth-largest reserves of

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) — Sierra Leone restricted travel Thursday into and within three more “hotspots” of Ebola where 1.5 million people live, meaning that more than a third of the country’s population is now under quarantine.

Sierra Leone is one of the hardest hit countries in an Ebola outbreak sweeping West Africa that is believed to have killed more than 2,900 people, according to World Health Organization tolls published Thursday. The agency says the situation in Sierra Leone continues to deteriorate, driven primarily by a sharp increase of cases in the capital, Freetown.

In an address to the nation on Wednesday night, President Ernest Bai Koroma put Port Loko, Bombali, and Moyamba districts under isolation, meaning only people delivering essential

services can enter and circulate within these areas. WHO also noted that these districts were seeing a rise in cases.

Iraqi woman activist killed by Islamic State BAGHDAD (AP) — Militants with the Islamic State group publicly killed a rights lawyer in the Iraqi city of Mosul after their self-styled Islamic court ruled that she had abandoned Islam, the U.N. mission in Iraq said Thursday.

Samira Salih al-Nuaimi was seized from her home on Sept. 17 after allegedly posting messages on Facebook that were critical of the militants’ destruction of religious sites in Mosul.

According to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq, al-Nuaimi was tried in a so-called “Sharia court” for apostasy, after which she was tortured for five days before the militants sentenced her to “public execution.”

Opponents query PM over his tax affairs

BEIRUT (AP) — U.S.-led airstrikes targeted Syrian oil installations held by the extremist Islamic State group overnight and early Thursday, killing at least 19 people as the militants released dozens of detainees in one of their strongholds, fearing further raids, activists said.

The latest strikes came on the third day of a U.S.-led air campaign aimed at rolling back the Islamic State group in Syria, and appeared to be aimed at one of the militants’ main revenue streams.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal’s prime minister is under growing political pressure to explain reported discrepancies in the income he declared for tax purposes during the 1990s.

The main opposition Socialist Party demanded Thursday that Pedro Passos Coelho provide a “complete, detailed” account of the matter.

Questions arose after media reported allegations that Passos Coelho received

shale gas — equivalent to 60 billion barrels of crude oil.

That’s more than twice the total amount of oil that Mexico has produced by conventional means over the last century.

The energy reform passed in December loosened Mexico’s protectionist policies, opening the way for Pemex to seek foreign investors and expertise to help it exploit its shale fields. It hopes to draw $10 billion to $15 billion in private investment each year.

The attractiveness of the venture may hinge on bringing Tamaulipas under control.

“The energy reform won’t be viable if we aren’t successful ... in solving the problem of crime and impunity,” said Sen. David Penchyna, who heads the Senate Energy Commission. “The biggest challenge we Mexicans have, and I say it without shame, is Tamaulipas.”

Two rival gangs, the Zetas and the Gulf cartel, long have used Tamaulipas as a route to ferry drugs and migrants to the United States and, in recent years, diversified their business: stealing gas and crude and selling it to refineries in Texas or to gas stations on either side of the border.

The hangar is actually not only designed to suit a Boeing business jet, similar in size to a 737, but it could also hold four other smaller jets, or any similarly sized variation of airplanes.

Airport Executive Director Theresa Cook said earlier this year that the concept was to be able to attract the larger commercial aircraft for overnight stays.

Making it happen The project required a team effort to make it happen, but U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, who was on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony, was basically the straw that stirred the drink.

“It really does take everybody to make it work, and DeFazio’s office has repeatedly backed any rural air service grants,” Brunell Mineau said. “He’s been very helpful in getting those. For years we still had weather observers still based here that were paid for by the federal government that nobody else in the country had, and that was because of Peter DeFazio doing his job and backing us and making sure we got the job done.”

WASHINGTON — Smart people in the administration have spent the last two days telling the American people that U.S. strikes against the Khorasan Group were necessary to disrupt “imminent attack plotting” against U.S. and Western interests.

They warned that members of the shadowy Khorasan Group, an alwere offshoot, Qaida “nearing the execution phase” of an attack in the U.S. or Europe.

They spoke of “active plotting that posed an imminent threat.”

People may have come away with the impression that the terror group was on the brink of pulling off something awful.

Perhaps not.

In government-speak, “imminent attack plotting” doesn’t necessarily mean an attack is imminent.

Careful parsing of the language reveals a distinction between imminent plotting and an imminent attack.

Likewise, an imminent threat doesn’t necessarily

mean an imminent attack.

And, in the view of the government, there’s more than one meaning for imminent, it turns out.

Dictionary.com defines imminent as “likely to occur at any moment.”

But a Justice Department white paper released in February 2013 gives a more nuanced view.

“An ‘imminent’ threat of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future,” the memo reads.

That’s because U.S. officials say they can’t wait until preparations for a terrorist act are completed before they take action to defend U.S. interests.

So their idea of taking action against an “imminent threat” involves a more elastic time frame.

In the case of the Khorasan Group, two U.S. officials told the AP that U.S. officials aren’t aware of the terrorists identifying any particular location or target for an attack in the near

fits to the South Coast can lead to benefits throughout the state.

“Look, we don’t do well as a state if all the economic growth is in Portland, or Portland and Eugene and somewhere else. We need to support robust economic growth everywhere in this state,” DeFazio said Tuesday.

“The South Coast has been waiting for a long time and I think we are on the cusp of big things. Having an airport for both the commercial and the GA (general aviation) access is really critical to either economic development as it relates to tourism, or as it relates to recruiting companies to come in here.

Because they are going to want to fly their execs, or teams, in and out and this is key.”

future. But intelligence officials have known for months that Khorasan group extremists were scheming with bomb-makers from alQaida’s Yemen affiliate to find new ways to get explosives onto planes, the officials said.

The plans were far enough along that the Transportation Security Administration over the summer banned uncharged mobile phones and laptops from flights to the U.S. that originate in Europe and the Middle East.

Despite persistent questioning after the airstrikes, U.S. officials have not explained whether something changed in recent weeks to compel them to launch cruise missiles.

Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday on CNN that, although the U.S. had been tracking the group’s plots for some time, “the moment actually was ripe,” for military strikes.

Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, described the imminent threat of the al Qaida-linked Khorasan group this way

Time is right Russ Batzer, of Batzer Construction, says it seems to be a case of perfect timing for the airport. As money from outside of the state is looking to keep a variety of jets in Oregon, where the aviation environment is more financially friendly, spaces are starting to get snapped up.

“All over the state of Oregon hangars are being built,” he said. “This has been the biggest year for our company. (As for this project)

Wednesday at a defense writer’s breakfast: “The briefings we had indicated that there was a growing ability, near ability to put together an explosive device which could get through the security at airports and that’s all I can tell you. And they were at a point, at a critical point in being able to develop that capability.”

Two American officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss internal decision-making, told the AP that the government was concerned that the group could go underground after the AP reported that it was a top U.S. concern.

A bulletin from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security issued Tuesday said U.S. officials had “no indicators of advanced al-Qaida or ISIL plotting in the homeland.”

But that memo, which used ISIL as an acronym for the militant Islamic State group, doesn’t rule out terror plotting afoot elsewhere that could be focused on U.S. targets.

everything went as planned.

It’s a pretty cool building.”

Not to be lost in the hoopla, another pretty cool building was being shown off Tuesday.

The celebration actually began with Dale Sause, of Coos Aviation, unveiling his company’s new building, located inside the old North Bend Airport terminal.

Architect Rich Turi says the trick with that project was figuring out how to divide up the much larger space in the company’s new, old, building.

“So you create a space that was still cozy, didn’t seem vast and way too big, and I think it turned out just right,” he said. “It feels warm and cozy. I’m pleased and my client, Dale Sause, he’s pleased.”

Soon, the hope is that the whole community will be universally pleased with the reimagined look of the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, and that it will also look better to potential future

business interests that may be transiting in and out of the community already.

“Our hope is that if just a couple of those major executives, who come (for Bandon Dunes) and fly in, decide maybe we should move our company here, it could make a big difference for our community,” added Roblan.

DeFazio said a brighter future has to start with optimal transportation links.

“Absolutely, that’s the bottom line,” he concluded.

“In an area like the coast of Oregon, great transportation everything. are links Whether it is good highway, and we’ve improved the highways dramatically over to the valley side over the years, or its aviation or rail or the port itself. We need everything and it needs to be in good working order and then they will come. We will have the recruitment that we want, we will have the economic development that we want.”

VETERANS

390,000 female veterans last year at its hospitals and clinics — far fewer than the 5.3 million male veterans who used the VA system in fiscal year 2013. But the number of women receiving care at VA has more than doubled since 2000.

When compared with men, women are less likely overall to be married, more likely to be married to a fellow service member, more likely to be a single parent, more likely to be divorced, and more likely to be unemployed after their service, the report said. Female veterans also tend to be younger than their male counterparts and are less likely to use VA benefits, the report said.

Continued from Page A1 child-bearing age.

The AP review found that nearly 1 in 4 VA hospitals does not have a fulltime gynecologist on staff, and that 140 of the 920 community-based clinics serving veterans in rural areas do not have a designated women’s health provider, despite a goal that all clinics have one.

Female veterans of childbearing age were far more likely to be given medications that can cause birth defects than were women being treated through a private doctor, the AP found.

JOBLESS Continued from Page A1 through the summer. At the same time, job gains have been solid, despite a slowdown in hiring in August.

Employers added just 142,000 jobs last month, according to the Labor Department, down from an average of 212,000 in the preceding 12 months. It was the end of a six-month streak of monthly job gains in

excess of 200,000. The unemployment rate fell to 6.1 percent from 6.2 percent, but only because some of those out of work gave up looking. The government doesn’t count people as unemployed unless they are actively searching.

Still, most economists expect hiring will continue at a healthy pace this year. Surveys of both manufacturing and services firms show that companies in both sectors added workers in September.

Marshfield, Coquille celebrate past Both schools will induct hall of fame classes Saturday ■

A look at Friday’s games Far West League Douglas at North Bend Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: K-Light (98.7 FM) Outlook: The Bulldogs open the league season against one of the traditional powers, but one struggling this season.

Douglas is one of the league’s two winless teams from the preseason — the other is Brookings-Harbor. North Bend, meanwhile, is flying high on both offense and defense and last week added Marist to the list of teams it has dismantled this season. Friday night’s game also is the Miss Flame game, when North Bend High School celebrates its long relationship with the North Bend Fire Department.

During halftime, Miss Flame will be crowned from among seniors Edith Ayala, Brooklyn Dunham, Bailey Lyon and Emily Midyette.

THE WORLD Marshfield and Coquille both will induct new classes to their school halls of fame Saturday night.

Tickets remain available for each event. Both include dinner and an auction in addition to the induction ceremonies.

Marshfield’s event is in the Salmon Room at the Mill CasinoHotel in Coos Bay. The doors open at 4:30 p.m., with dinner at 6:15

p.m. and the induction ceremony starting about 7. Tickets are $50.

Coquille, meanwhile, will hold its ceremony at the Coquille Community Building. The doors open at 5 p.m., with dinner at 6 and the ceremony at 7. Tickets are $15 for adults, $25 for couples, $5 for children under 12 or $100 for a table of eight people.

The two events are hosted by the schools’ respective booster clubs. Silent and oral auctions will be held at each event to raise money for the booster clubs, which in turn support the athletic programs at the two schools.

Marshfield’s class includes: ■ Mark Henke, a 1987 graduate and standout swimmer whose

accomplishments included placing several times in the distance events at the state meet, capped by winning the 500-yard freestyle as a senior with a time of 4 minutes, 34.34 seconds.

■ Ken Tedder, who coached the volleyball team for most of two decades when the Pirates were one of the dominant programs in the Midwestern League.

■ Chuck Crandall, who was a standout athlete and then coached various teams at Marshfield for many years.

■ Ken Hunt and Don Bruce from the Class of 1947, who both are deceased. Hunt and Bruce were team leaders on Marshfield’s 1947 basketball team that beat

Klamath Union 51-49 in the state championship game. Bruce was named to the all-tournament first team and Bruce was on the second team.

■ The 1995 state champion dance team.

The plaques for the new inductees will be the next additions to Marshfield’s Heritage Hall, which will have its grand opening earlier in the day. The hall, which pays tributes to all aspects of Marshfield history and is located in Pirate Palace, will be opened to donors at 1 p.m. and to the general public from 2-4 p.m.

SEE HALLS | B3

Marshfield at Brookings-Harbor Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KMHS (91.3 FM) Outlook: The Pirates gained momentum for their league opener by beating Newport last week. In the process, both quarterback Andrew Sharp and tailback Lance Grisby showed promise as fill-ins in critical positions. The Bruins provide Marshfield with an opportunity to open the league season with a win. The Bruins, under their new coaching staff, have losses to Phoenix, Class 3A Illinois Valley and Yreka, a school from Northern California.

Siuslaw at South Umpqua Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KCST (106.9 FM) Outlook: Probably the most compelling game of the opening week on the Far West League schedule, the Vikings visit the potent Lancers. Both teams crushed Hidden Valley — South Umpqua in the opening week and Siuslaw last week.

Siuslaw is averaging 42 points a game and South Umpqua is averaging 28, but gave up just seven in a win over Banks last week and 12 in its opening win over Hidden Valley. While Siuslaw is unbeaten, South Umpqua does have one loss, to North Valley.

Mountain Skyline League Butte Falls at Powers Time: 3 p.m.

Radio: No local radio Outlook: The Cruisers open play in the leauge’s north division with a game against the winless Loggers. Powers is coming off the emotional high of beating neighboring Myrtle Point last week. The Cruisers have scored a combined 76 points the past two weeks in wins over the Bobcats and Yoncalla. Butte Falls, meanwhile, has blowout losses to Prospect, Triad and Chiloquin, all teams off to strong starts. The Cruisers need to be among the division’s top three teams over the next five weeks to have a chance to advance to the Class 1A playoffs.

Nonleague Glide at Myrtle Point Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KSHR (97.3 FM) Outlook: Myrtle Point will try to build momentum for the upcoming Sunset Conference season by playing a former league foe. The Bobcats lost to Coquille and Powers the past two weeks and now face a Glide team that scored 110 points the first two weeks of the season before being shut out by Reedsport last week.

Myrtle Point’s strength has been a strong running game, but the downfall has been turnovers. The Bobcats open league play at Bandon next week.

Illinois Valley at Coquille Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: No local radio Outlook: The Red Devils, who have battled a few key injuries, had a good win over Bandon last week to improve to 2-1. It was their second straight win over a rival, having beating Myrtle Point a week earlier. Coquille lost its season opener to Gold Beach. Illinois Valley also is 2-1, with wins over Far West League teams Douglas and BrookingsHarbor and a loss last week to Clatskanie. The Cougars are avearging nearly 40 points a game, while Coquille is giving up 26 points a night. The Red Devils open their first Mountain Valley Conference season next week at home against Pleasant Hill.

Santiam at Reedsport Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: No local radio Outlook: After mixed results the past two weeks against a pair of Class 3A teams — Reedsport lost to Amity, but shut out Glide — the Braves play their home opener against a fellow Class 2A team. Reedsport has shown great team speed and outstanding defense in the early season. Santiam, likewise, has a potent defense, with shutout wins over Jefferson and Waldport before a loss last week to Culver. Reedsport uses this week as a final tuneup before opening Sunset Conference play next week against league newcomer Toledo.

Gold Beach at North Eugene Time: 7 p.m.

Radio: KGBR (92.7 FM) Outlook: The Panthers continue a roadheavy preseason with a trip to Eugene to face the Highlanders, who are a Class 5A school, but one playing an independent schedule. Gold Beach has close wins over Class 3A teams Coquille and St. Mary’s sandwiched around a blowout victory over Vernonia. Last week, the Panthers came up with a couple of big defensive stops to edge St. Mary’s 14-12. The Highlanders don’t have any wins this fall, with blowout losses to Elmira and Phoenix and a three-point loss to Woodburn. The Panthers face Sunset Conference newcomer Waldport in their league opener next week.

The runners take off Saturday morning from the corner of Anderson Avenue and South Fourth Street for the 35th annual Prefontaine Memorial Run.

Race provides insight into Pre So I think I get the whole Steve Prefontaine thing now.

Not like I didn’t understand his value before. It’s hard not to.

The Prefontaine name trades in gold around the Bay Area. From street names (Prefontaine Way in Empire) to 10-kilometer races (the annual Prefontaine Memorial Run) to high school tracks (Steve Prefontaine Track at Marshfield), Pre’s omnipresence litters the community.

But after 18 months in a town that raised one of the greatest long distance runners in history (maybe the best?), it was time to see what makes the guy so iconic — other than getting Nike’s first sponsorship and, of course, his trademark ‘stache.

I watched the 1997 Prefontaine biopic, committed sections of his Wikipedia to memory, and just last Saturday, I capped it off by joining 838 other racers in the 35th Annual Prefontaine Memorial Run. And now I get it.

I trained a little for the 6.2mile race. Maybe a month, gradually moving up from 2 to 3 to 4 miles on the black track at Sunset Middle School.

Eventually I had to take on

Some value his perseverance, others his worth ethic. My respect clicked at Prefontaine’s muchballyhooed confidence. His earned, deserved arrogance. Pre was the rare type of athlete — and, for the most part, human being — who can point to how hard he works, then smugly show off his robust trophy case, and all you can do is shrug your shoulders and respect it. Pre was undeniable.

He wanted something, got it, then made no qualms letting people know he deserved it.

That type of unrelenting selfworth, the type that takes thousands of hours of constantly pushing yourself to shave off milliseconds during every stride, is never going to stop resonating and inspiring. Not globally, not through the Nike brand, and definitely not for Coos Bay locals.

So that’s what I did.

On the way back down THE hill, I picked up speed on the decline. In front of me, I saw a little gangly kid, couldn’t be more than 13, starting to lose his steam.

Jeter’s last home game lacks playoff implications Orioles eliminate Yankees with 9-5 win at New York ■

NEW YORK (AP) — All that’s left for Derek Jeter to do is say goodbye.

Right now, though, the captain is still stewing over a lost season.

New York was eliminated from playoff contention Wednesday, wasting a three-run lead in a 9-5 loss to Nelson Cruz and the AL East champion Baltimore Orioles.

“It’s tough. It’s what you play for. It’s a rough feeling,” Jeter said.

Jeter went 0-for-4 as the designated hitter in his next-to-last game home game, ending a sevengame hitting streak and dropping his average to .253.

The Yankees (81-77) missed the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 1992 and ‘93.

The Associated Press

New York’s Derek Jeter waits to bat during the fifth inning Wednesday.

The only other time New York did not play in the postseason during in the retiring captain’s 20-season big league career was in 2008.

“It’s disappointing. It’s frustrating,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “This is not where you want to be at this time of year.”

When Jeter is lauded by fans tonight — weather permitting (there’s rain in the forecast) — for a career that included five of New York’s 27 World Series titles, he will be playing his first game in the Bronx that has no implications on his team’s playoff chances. (Jeter was out with an injury last year).

“For the guys that are coming back and the team that plays it’s a feeling you shouldn’t like and you shouldn’t want to get used to,” Jeter said.

Baltimore, headed to the playoffs for the second time in three 1 seasons, is 2 ⁄2 games behind the Los Angeles Angels in the race for the top record in the American League.

Manager Buck Showalter sees tonight’s festivities as good preparation.

Sports YANKEES

Playoff picture comes into sharper focus THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw tied a career high with his 21st victory, Yasiel Puig homered to highlight a four-run sixth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers won the NL West title with a 9-1 victory over the second-place San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.

Fittingly, the Dodgers claimed their second straight division title behind Kershaw (21-3), the probable NL Cy Young Award winner and MVP candidate who has been the catalyst behind their success this season.

He didn’t pitch lights out — getting called for a balk and wild pitch — and he committed a throwing error MLB in the seventh but he did a little bit Recap of everything, including hitting and fielding to ensure the Dodgers’ celebrated in front of their longtime rivals.

Cubs 3, Cardinals 1: Jake Arrieta struck out 10, leading the Chicago Cubs over St. Louis.

1 The Cardinals kept their 1 ⁄2-game lead over Pittsburgh in the NL Central. The loss assured NL East champion Washington will open a division series at home.

Arrieta (10-5), coming off a onehit shutout against Cincinnati last week, pitched two-hit ball for seven innings. He also had a two-run triple off John Lackey (3-3).

Hector Rondon got his 27th save.

Braves 6, Pirates 2: Andrew McCutchen homered for Pittsburgh’s only runs, and the Pirates missed a chance to move up in the NL Central race, falling to Atlanta.

Pittsburgh lost for only the fourth time in its last 19 games.

Julio Teheran (14-13) hit a tworun single as Atlanta ended a fivegame losing streak. Craig Kimbrel struck out McCutchen and Travis Snider with two on for his 45th save.

Brewers 5, Reds 0: Kyle Lohse pitched a two-hitter and drove in a run as the Milwaukee Brewers forestalled elimination from the playoffs with a win over Cincinnati.

Lohse (13-9) gave up a pair of singles by Jack Hannahan in his second shutout of the season.

From Page B1

Phillies 2, Marlins 1: Kyle Kendrick pitched seven innings, had three hits and drove in a run and the Philadelphia Phillies beat Miami.

Kendrick (10-13) broke a scoreless tie with two outs in the seventh when he doubled home Darin Ruf. Kendrick also singled twice and hiked his average from .095 to .136.

Padres 4, Rockies 3: Joe Wieland earned his first big league win, and Tommy Medica hit a three-run home run and a replay-aided double to lead the Padres to a victory against Colorado in their home finale.

The Padres notched their 76th win with four games to go, matching their victory total from each of the last two seasons.

It was San Diego’s 48th home win, setting the franchise single-season record at Petco Park, which opened in 2004.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Tigers 6, White Sox 1: Justin Verlander pitched eight impressive innings and the Detroit Tigers clinched a postseason spot, rallying after benches cleared in the sixth inning to beat the White Sox. The Tigers lead the AL Central by two games over Kansas City. Detroit was assured of at least a wild-card spot when Seattle lost.

White Sox ace Chris Sale was breezing along with a shutout when he hit Victor Martinez with a pitch in the sixth. The two exchanged words and the benches and bullpens emptied.

Ian Kinsler gave Detroit the lead with an RBI double in the seventh off Javy Guerra (2-4).

Verlander (15-12) allowed a run and seven hits.

Indians 6, Royals 4: Yan Gomes hit a three-run homer, Michael Brantley got three more hits and the Cleveland Indians stayed in the AL wild-card chase for at least one more day by beating Kansas City.

A loss would have eliminated the Indians, but after blowing a 3-0 lead, they rallied and moved within 3 1⁄ 2 games of Kansas City and Oakland in the wild-card standings.

There are four days left in the regular season.

Zach McAllister (4-7) pitched 2 13 scoreless innings and Cody Allen worked the ninth for his 23rd save.

The Associated Press

Los Angeles players Adrian Gonzalez and Clayton Kershaw celebrate after the Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 9-1 to clinch the National League West title Wednesday.

Blue Jays 1, Mariners 0: Mark Buehrle pitched eight shutout innings to reach 200 innings for the 14th consecutive season, Ryan Goins drove in the only run and the Toronto Blue Jays pushed Seattle closer to playoff elimination.

Buehrle (13-10) allowed three hits, walked one and struck out 10, one shy of his season high. He left to his second standing ovation of the night after Chris Taylor’s leadoff single in the ninth. He finished the season with 202 innings.

Aaron Sanchez came on and picked off pinch-runner James Jones, then got the final two outs for his third save in as many chances. The game was played in a brisk 1 hour, 59 minutes.

The Mariners lost their fifth straight and have dropped nine of 12.

Rookie Taijuan Walker (2-3) pitched his first career complete game, giving up four hits.

hopeful Oakland Athletics.

The A’s and Kansas City are tied for the AL wild-card spot.

Angels star Mike Trout left the game before the top of the fifth with a stomach illness.

A’s starter Jon Lester (16-11) gave up five runs in seven innings. He was winless in three starts against the Angels this year.

Red Sox 11, Rays 3: Anthony Ranaudo (4-3) pitched seven strong innings, and Garin Cecchini hit his first major league home run to help the fifth-place Boston Red Sox beat the fourth-place Tampa Bay. Rangers 5, Astros 1: Lisalverto Bonilla became the first pitcher in Rangers history to win his first three career starts with a victory over the Astros.

Bonilla (3-0), promoted Sept. 2 from Triple-A Round Rock, allowed four hits and struck out seven in six scoreless innings.

His wins all have come during a stretch when the Rangers have won 11 of 12 games, including their last four.

“Not everywhere you play in the postseason is going to be a friendly environment,” he said, “so it is good to have that kind of emotion going on before you get there.”

Cruz had two of his four singles and slugger Adam Jones a safety squeeze in a six-run fourth for Baltimore, which is trying to overtake the Los Angeles Angels for the AL’s best record and home-field advantage throughout the postseason.

As they have throughout the final homestand, fans stood, cheered and chanted “De-rek Je-ter!” for each of the captain’s at-bats during a rare September mid-week afternoon game. Even though Jeter was the designated hitter, the Bleacher Creatures included Jeter in the first-inning roll call. Jeter wasn’t in the dugout to acknowledge them with the customary wave.

Jeter was given an extended ovation after he tapped out to first base in the eighth but he remained seated in the dugout and did not come out for the curtain call. The game ended when Brett Gardner struck out looking with Jeter on deck.

“The game wasn’t over.

We were trying to come back,” Jeter said of the eighth. “You can’t help but notice. I catch myself looking around sometimes and I’ve always tried not to do that but I’ve caught myself a couple of times.”

Bud Norris (15-8) fell behind 3-0 despite getting seven of his first nine outs by strikeout. He allowed a leadoff homer in the second to Stephen Drew then fanned five straight, a string stopped in the third inning with Chase Headley’s long ball.

Norris allowed three runs and five hits in six innings and struck out nine.

Shane Greene loaded the bases in the third but got Jones to ground into an inning-ending forceout. The rookie had no such success in the fourth inning, when the Orioles sent 11 men to the plate and scored three times with two outs.

Tony Stewart won’t face charges THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — After more than six weeks in limbo, NASCAR star Tony Stewart finally got the news he had been hoping for.

A grand jury that heard testimony from more than two dozen witnesses, including accident reconstruction experts and drivers, and looked at photographs and video decided against bringing criminal c h a rge s against Stewart for the death of 20-year-old sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. during an Aug. 9 race.

That doesn’t mean it’s over. A few hours after Ontario County District Attorney Michael Tantillo announced the grand jury’s decision in this upstate New York hamlet, the Ward family indicated in a statement read over the telephone by sister Kayla Herring that they will seek civil damages in the young driver’s death.

Tantillo also disclosed that Ward was under the influence of marijuana the night he died and said two different videos were enhanced, frames were isolated and viewed at at least three different speeds and finally overlaid with grids and data. Both showed Stewart had done nothing wrong.

The deal is considerably more than the four-year, $48 million the Suns initially offered but well below the five-year, $80 million-plus maximum contract Bledsoe’s agent, Rich Paul, sought for the restricted free agent.

The sides didn’t budge in the negotiations until talks finally progressed in the last few days.

Bledsoe faced an Oct. 1 deadline to sign a $3.7 million qualifying offer to play for the Suns this season, then become an unrestricted free agent.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Stanford gives coach Dawkins an extension

STANFORD, Calif. — Johnny Dawkins made a point last season not to fret about his future and just coach Stanford back into a winner and an NCAA tournament team.

The rest took care of itself, and Dawkins was rewarded with a contract extension for his impressive NCAA run this year and overall strides as Cardinal coach. The number of years on his new deal weren’t announced by the school. Dawkins received a two-year extension in July 2011 that took him through the 2015-16 season.

When the Cardinal reached the NCAA tournament last spring for the first time since 2008, athletic director Bernard Muir said NBA Dawkins would continue to lead the program — but Muir Suns, Bledsoe agree to also had said before the season five-year contract that Dawkins’ job depended PHOENIX — The Phoenix on the NCAA berth.

ORLANDO, Fla. —

Orlando City will pick first in the MLS expansion draft as well as the SuperDraft after winning a draw.

The new club beat New York City FC to get first choice from various MLS player-acquisition mechanisms. Orlando won the first pick from among players left unprotected by current MLS clubs, as well as the first choice of U.S. college players.

NYC FC chose to get the first allocation ranking, meaning it gets priority for a member of the US men’s national team who signs with MLS after playing abroad.

The teams alternated choosing priority in eight mechanisms in total.

BOBSLED Mixed teams will be allowed in bobsled LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Women can start competing in 4-man bobsled this season.

Bobsled’s world governing body, known as the FIBT, says its executive committee decided to open the event to mixed gender teams.

FIBT President Ivo Ferriani says “We follow the spirit and movements of our time.”

Ferriani says: “There is a strong belief in the FIBT that men and women can compete together in 4-man.”

Previously, women competed only in two-athlete bobs and men competed in twos and fours.

The FIBT says two-time Olympic champion Kaillie Humphries of Canada wants to pilot a bob pushed by three male teammates.

Mixed teams can begin in World Cup events at a season-opening meet in December at Lake Placid, New York.

Mickelson faces McIlroy on Friday GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) — Two days after Phil Mickelson poked fun at Rory McIlroy, they face off in the Ryder Cup. Mickelson and Keegan Bradley, undefeated as a team at Medinah, play the European powerhouse of McIlroy and Sergio Garcia in the opening session of four-

balls on Friday at Gleneagles.

Mickelson took a playful jab at McIlroy when he said the best part of American unity is the players don’t “ l i t i ga te a ga i n s t ea c h other.” McIlroy has a court battle against his old management firm and the lawsuit now involves Graeme McDowell.

Webb Simpson and Bubba Watson will hit the opening shot in the better-ball format against Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson.

Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker go up against Thomas Bjorn and Martin Kaymer; and Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed play Stephen Gallacher and Ian Poulter.

Mickelson aims to improve record GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) — Phil Mickelson is certainly proud to be playing in his U.S. record 10th consecutive Ryder Cup. He’d just rather not be reminded about those other records he holds in golf’s premier team event.

Mickelson has won five majors in his career but he’s also a symbol of recent U.S. failures against Europe in a competition the Americans used to dominate.

Since playing in his first Ryder Cup 19 years ago, Mickelson has been on the losing side seven out of nine times. He’s won 14 of his matches, but lost a U.S. record 18 matches — including a record five defeats in singles.

So, he was asked by a British reporter on Wednesday, is the Ryder Cup record a “blot” on your resume?

“I wouldn’t say it as eloquently as you did by calling it a blot,” a smiling Mickelson said. “But I think that it’s a record that I’d like to improve on.”

The reporter pressed on, asking whether he was stung by the knowledge that he has lost more matches than any other American.

“Are you always this half empty?”

Mickelson said with a laugh. “Is that how you look at things? Because we’re

more optimistic here.”

But the numbers don’t lie. And Lefty knows that.

“Absolutely, I would like to improve my record,” he said. “That’s certainly a goal. It doesn’t take too much to improve my winning percentage, I’ll say that. “ The 44-year-old Mickelson has qualified automatically for 10 Ryder Cups going back to 1995, when he went 3-0 as a rookie at Oak Hill. He hasn’t required a captain’s pick once during that time.

“It’s 20 years of Ryder Cups, I just can’t believe it,” Mickelson’s teammate Keegan Bradley said. “It’s amazing because you have to stay healthy, you’ve got to stay sharp with your game. It’s going to be tough for somebody to do that. You’ve got to be super consistent for 20 years, which is almost impossible.”

Mickelson and Bradley are expected to line up again together in Friday’s opening matches. They teamed up to go 3-0 two years ago in Medinah, where Europe overcame a 10-6 deficit after the first two days to win 14 ?-13 ?.

“I’m going to play again with Keegan,” Mickelson said. “I don’t think I’m letting go of any secrets here. We’ve

played together these first few rounds and we seem to have a good partnership, and he brings out some of my best golf.”

Neither Mickelson nor Bradley has won a tournament this year. But the two feed off each other when it comes to the Ryder Cup. Bradley said he has been exchanging regular text messages with Mickelson, sending him video highlights of their matches together.

“We just keep telling each other that there’s no one we’d rather be out there with than each other,” Bradley said.

Mickelson went out of his way to play up the Europeans as big favorites on home soil, suggesting the U.S. will have to play its best just to keep close, let alone win. The last time the U.S. won on the road was in 1993 at The Belfry.

“We’re here without Tiger Woods,” Mickelson said. “We’re without Dustin Johnson. We’re without Jason Dufner.

And we’re playing a team that has players like McIlroy and (Henrik) Stenson who have played just incredible golf over the years. ... We have not won here in 20 years. We’ve got a team that is a heavy underdog and the expectations certainly aren’t high. ... We need to play our best golf to make it a close match.”

BRIDGE Ann Landers said, “One out of four people in this country is mentally unbalanced. Think of your three closest friends; if they seem OK, then you’re the one.”

Earlier this week, we saw deals in which a balanced fit (both partners had the same number of cards in it) was a better trump suit than an unbalanced. And that will usually be the case. But one time when a 4-4 fit is not best occurs when the trump holding is

weak, resulting in an inevitable loser or two, and there are discards available from the other two side suits for those losers if it is the third side suit. This is typically the case in a slam — as in this deal.

When North opens one no-trump, South, with only a five-loser hand, should immediately be thinking about a slam. He uses Stayman and learns of the 4-4 spade fit. But rather than opt immediately for that suit as trumps, he sensibly shows his club suit first. North rebids three hearts to indicate values in that suit and, by inference, weak diamonds. After that, the auction gets a tad murky around the edges, but South should prefer his strong clubs to those pitiful spades.

In six spades, North must lose one spade and one heart (and would go down two if spades broke 4-1).

However, six clubs has 12 tricks: two spades, two hearts, two diamonds and six clubs.

Finally, note that if NorthSouth play transfers into the minors, there would be a strong case for South’s ignoring the spade suit and immediately transferring into clubs.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2014 Successful partnerships will be highlighted this year. Personal, business and professional collaborations will bring worthwhile returns.

You will come out ahead if you rely on your intelligence and ingenuity, along with your ability to contribute to something that you feel passionate about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Unexpected changes and unforeseen issues will arise. Trying to stick to a schedule will end in frustration.

Throw out your game plan and go with the flow for best results.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Be relentless in your pursuits. You have the know-how to reach your destination. You’ll face some objection to your plans, but you are the best judge of what is right for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Use your talents and good will to help people in your area who are in need. An association with a charitable or benevolent agency will bring you positive recognition.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Overconfidence will be your downfall. Keep your plans a secret if you don’t want someone to thwart your success. Be wary of anyone who presses you for information.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It’s time to face the music. You have been avoiding an issue in hopes that it will disappear, but that isn’t going to happen. You will sleep better once the matter is resolved.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Implement the changes around your home that will improve your standard of living. An unanticipated windfall will come your way through a forgotten investment or an old debt owed to you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Stick to your principles, but be mindful of others. Relationship woes can be resolved if you are patient and understanding. Don’t let minor matters get blown out of proportion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Assess your current situation. It’s time to strengthen your skills by attending a course or researching a career that interests you. Set your goal high and do what’s necessary to reach it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) —

Legals 100 NOTICE OF SHERIFF’S SALE On Monday, October 13, 2014 at the hour of 10:00 a.m. at the Front Door of the Coos County Courthouse, 250 North Baxter St. Coquille, Oregon, the defendant’s interest will be sold, subject to redemption, in the real property

The Associated Press

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles throws a pass against Indianapolis on Sunday.

Jaguars turn to Bortles JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Blake Bortles is treating his first career start just like any other game.

He isn’t showing up early, staying late or doing any more than normal.

About the only thing that’s changed is his role in the quarterbacks meeting room. Instead of sitting in the second chair and watching Chad Henne run the gametape remote, Bortles has taken over.

“It’s his responsibility to step up,” offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch said Wednesday as the Jaguars (0-3) prepared to play at San Diego (2-1). “He has to take control of those meetings because it’s really not that important what any of us know. What’s important is what he knows and what he can grasp and what he believes what he needs from them.

“He’s going to run those meetings, and it will be a learning curve for him.”

The Jaguars can only hope Bortles keeps improving at his current pace.

The former UCF standout has made steady strides since Jacksonville selected him with the third overall pick in May’s NFL draft. He struggled at times in offseason drills, but was sharp in training camp and the preseason.

He was even more solid

against Indianapolis on Sunday, throwing for 223 yards and two touchdowns in the second half. Granted, he played in a blowout and against a defense that surely wasn’t playing with the same effort and energy that helped it build a 30-point halftime lead. But he showed poise, pocket presence, accuracy and scrambling ability.

He made a few mistakes, including an interception that was returned for a touchdown, but the Jaguars are willing to take the bad with the good while he gets a better grasp of the figuring out what it takes to be a fulltime starter.

“Learn from it, move on and try not to make that same mistake again,” Bortles said.

Asked whether he’s ready for his first start, Bortles said “I don’t know.”

“I’m going to go out there and prepare this week and do everything that I’ve done — go over everything I possibly can to get ready and I’m going to go play football,” he said.

“We’re going to play Sunday whether I’m ready or not, so I might as well get as ready as I can possibly be.”

The Jaguars had planned to bring Bortles along slowly this season, even suggesting that they might keep him on the sideline the entire season. That became more and more unlikely the more

Henne struggled and the losses mounted. The Jaguars rank 31st in the league in total offense and have been outscored by 75 points through three games.

They’re counting on Bortles making a difference.

The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Floridian has enough speed to be effective in zone-read plays and a threat when chased out of the pocket. He also hasn’t hesitated to change plays at the line of scrimmage, throw deep or take more chances than Henne.

“He’s ready,” Henne said.

“You don’t get drafted No. 3 overall not to be ready. It’s always going to be a learning experience. Is he going to be Andrew Luck or is it going to take some time? We’ll take it one day at a time and he’ll go out there and do what he’s supposed and make some plays.”

Bortles expects to make a few against the Chargers, even if it’s his first career start “It’s just another game, it’s another opportunity, no bigger than any other moment,” Bortles said.

“You’re not going to remember your first game. You’re going to remember moments of it, but you’re not going to remember the whole thing.

Hopefully there will be many more after that.”

Redskins battle injury issues

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press Nothing is worse than being hit by a slew of injuries in a Sunday game. Except, of course, having to then play on Thursday. Just ask the Washington Redskins.

Washington listed nearly a dozen players on its injury report heading into the primetime NFC East matchup with the Giants.

Still, Washington, tied for No. 23 in the AP Pro32 with Cleveland, is a 3 1-2 point favorite over the No. 25 Giants.

On defense alone, cornerback DeAngelo Hall went out for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon suffered in the loss to Philadelphia.

While nickel cornerback Tracy Porter (hamstring) could be back after missing the first three games, safety Duke Ihenacho broke his left foot and is done for the year.

End Jason Hatcher has a hamstring injury, and linebacker Brian Orakpo will wear a large cast to protect a torn ligament in his left middle finger.

The offense, of course, is without quarterback Robert Griffin III (dislocated ankle), although Kirk Cousins has stepped in and performed well. Top running back Alfred Morris missed a portion of

Pro Picks

the Eagles game with a knee issue, but returned and seems OK. Tight end Jordan Reed (hamstring) missed the Philly game, and guard Shawn Lauvao probably will sit out Thursday night, too.

And now, a short week.

“Now it’s a matter of getting plays installed Monday morning and getting players out there and practicing them,” coach Jay Gruden said. “We’re going through the same process, we just have got to do it a lot faster.

You have got to watch film a little bit faster, you have got to go through the plays a little bit faster, you have got to write down the plays faster.

Yeah, it’s tough. I’m a little jittery right now. I’ve had 17 cups of coffee.”

Locker might miss Sunday game NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Titans quarterback Jake Locker did not practice Wednesday because of an injured right wrist, and whether he plays against the Indianapolis Colts will depend on how much he heals up by Sunday.

Locker said he’s getting better each day and working as hard as he can to return as

soon as possible. He was hurt during a 33-7 loss to Cincinnati, and Locker says his wrist started hurting more once his adrenaline stopped after the game.

The quarterback is in the final year of his contract and has missed 14 of a potential 32 starts the past two seasons.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt

says the key will be how much Locker progresses by Sunday.

The Titans have lost two straight, and Locker has been intercepted twice in each loss. If Locker can’t play, then Charlie Whitehurst would make his first start since 2011 when he started two games and played in three for Seattle.

Unbeaten Huskies host Stanford

BY RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Myles Jack is a weapon on both offense and defense for UCLA.

Bruins need both sides of Myles Jack LOS ANGELES (AP) — All eyes are usually on Myles Jack, UCLA’s electrifying two-way star linebacker and running back.

When the Bruins played Arizona State last season, everyone saw Jack standing on the sideline as the Sun Devils’ offense went up and down the field en route to a 35-13 halftime lead.

Jack only played on offense in the 38-33 loss that ultimately decided the Pac12 South, and the decision not to use him on the other side of the ball was even second-guessed by UCLA coach Jim Mora.

This time around Jack is focused on defense, which he termed his “main job,” heading into the conference opener for the 11th-ranked Bruins (3-0) when they face the No. 15 Sun Devils (3-0) in Tempe, Arizona, tonight.

“Myles is a big playmaker for us,” linebacker Eric Kendricks said. “It’s going to be huge having him back.”

Even as some on the UCLA sideline were pushing for Jack to go in and try to slow down Arizona State, Jack himself said it was never a realistic option as he did not know the defensive game plan or calls after practicing all week on offense.

“I wished I was on defense, but I put it on my shoulders like, ‘What could I have done more on offense to help the team?”’ said Jack, who rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown.

Now Jack is more comfortable preparing for both roles, totaling 13 tackles and 21 yards rushing with one touchdown in the two games he has been used on offense and defense this season. But against Arizona State, Jack is focused squarely on how to contain running back D.J. Foster.

Fo s te r h a d b e e n t h e focal point of the Arizona State offense this season long before quarterback Taylor Kelly hurt his foot against Colorado, ranking second in the FBS with 216.3 all-purpose yards per game.

He also ranks fifth nationally with 170 yards rushing per game, while his six total touchdowns are tied for the Pac-12 lead. lie,” don’t “Stats Kendricks said. “I feel like he is one of the best we’ve seen thus far, and maybe in the nation. He’s running the ball hard. He has a lot of aspects to his game that are elite, and we’re going to treat him as such.”

An undefeated record in late September can be deceiving. And confusing.

It's hard to know what to make of North Carolina State and Washington's 4-0 marks. Neither has played top competition so far. And both have barely escaped being upset at least once.

Those prefect records get put to the test Saturday when the Wolfpack host No. 1 Florida State and the Huskies face No. 16 Stanford in Seattle.

The first four games of Chris Petersen's tenure with Washington have been odd.

Playing without their starting quarterback, the Huskies slipped by Hawaii, 17-16.

Next was a wild 59-52 victory against Eastern Washington, an FCS power.

The Huskies pounded Illinois (44-19), their most impressive victory, and then pulled away from Georgia State (45-14) after trailing 14-0 at the half.

North Carolina State has already passed last season's win total in Year 2 under coach Dave Doeren by coming from behind to beat Georgia Southern 24-23 and then scoring at least 42 points in more comfortable wins against Old Dominion, South Florida and Presbyterian.

Jameis Winston returns to action for the Seminoles after being suspended for last week's Clemson game.

College Picks

The last time Florida State went to Raleigh, North Carolina, was 2012, and EJ Manuel and the Seminoles were upset 17-16 by the Wolfpack. The 'Noles have lost only one game since and enter with a 19-game winning streak.

"When you play a team with the nation's longest winning streak, it's a really good measuring stick," Doeren said.

The picks:

Maryland is set to make its Big Ten debut COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — It’s time for Maryland football team to find out how it stacks up against the Big (Ten) boys.

Following four nonleague games, the Terrapins make their Big Ten debut Saturday at Indiana. The significance of the event is not lost on Maryland linebacker L.A. Goree.

“I definitely think it’s going to go down in history because it’s the first game, and to be part of it is something special,” Goree said Tuesday. “To say that I played in the first Big Ten

game, it’s something my kids and their kids are going to ask me about.”

Most importantly, the Terrapins (3-1) are eager to make a good first impression.

“As a team we want to step

up and prove we belong in this league,” Goree said.

Maryland was a charter member of the Atlantic Coast Conference before announcing in November 2012 that it was leaving for the Big Ten.
