Had the event being commemorated occurred in mid-day, participants would battle oppressive heat and humidity, with both forecast at the upper end of the discomfort scale during daytime Friday and Saturday. As is, they will run and walk in somewhat more inviting temperatures predicted for the low 70s by 12:26 a.m.

Saturday.

The race — many walkers will be out for a stroll — will cap activities that start late Friday afternoon and will go on throughout the evening. Included will be the much-awaited “drag race,” featuring some of the area’s finest men and women dressed in drag.

Chris Weiner at Thrive Allen County, co-sponsor with Allen County Crimestoppers for “The Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run for your Life,” said total of participants was approaching 450, with about 200 signed on for the 5-kilometer run. The walk will follow a 3-kilometer course.

“Registration, including probably a fifth online, has really

picked up,” Weiner said Tuesday afternoon. As in the past, “we expect a lot of people to sign up Friday night.”

Cost is $12 for the walk. Runners’ fees are $14 for youth to age 17, $20 for adults and $17 each for members of teams.

Runners in the third annual event will aim for best times of 15.40.06 for males and 20.44.78 for females, set last year.

Sticks of “Melvin Dy-No-Mite” will be awarded the first three places for males and females in each of five ages groups, 15 and under, 16-30, 31-45, 46-60 and 61 and over.

All participants will break from in front of the post office.

Study examines 2011 Missouri River flood

By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A study released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Monday says the agency did what it could to manage the historic 2011 flooding on the Missouri River, but that more repairs, research and monitoring are needed to mitigate damage in future high flow years.

Experts from the Corps of Engineers conducted the study, which focuses on vulnerabilities that remain after the Missouri River rose to record levels last year.

The flooding began after the corps began releasing massive amounts of water from upstream reservoirs that had been filled with melting snow and heavy rains. The onslaught lasted for more than 100 days, busting levees, carving gouges up to 50 feet deep and dumping tree limbs, pieces of children’s swing sets, gas cans and other debris on farmers’ fields.

The corps says about $400 million will be spent to fix damage along the Missouri River caused by the

2011 flooding. Most of the levee repairs are expected to be completed before next spring, with work on the dams expected to take longer.

More funding may be required for the repairs, but the corps says it is still evaluating the amount.

Numerous studies are in the works, including ones that explore whether climate change played a role in the flooding. Another issue that is being examined is whether efforts to create more shallow-water habitat to help wildlife contributed to levee damage.

The study released Monday found that more monitoring is needed, and the corps says it needs better information about such things as the frost depth of the soil and the water content of the snow. The agency wants details about how runoff is affected by a wetlands area in the Dakotas known as the prairie pothole region.

The corps is collaborating with several groups to enhance data collection and forecasting. Among the ideas is establishing more permanent plains snow measurement stations.

Kansas in brief Driver’s licenses get new look

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas driver’s licenses are about to get a new look and some new features.

The Department of Revenue is unveiling the new design at an event today with Gov. Sam Brownback and Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan.

Motorists will begin receiving the new licenses this week. Among the elements are new security features to protect against identity theft or illegal duplication.

Revenue Department spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda says Kansas updates its driver’s licenses every four to six years as technology changes.

Children’s Discovery center receives grant

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center in Topeka is one of three pilot sites chosen after a national competition.

Officials at the center announced Monday that the selection comes with a $65,000 grant, which is part of an initiative called “Going Wild at Children’s Museums.”

Afghan murder suspect moved WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — The U.S. soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians in March was transferred Monday to an Army base in Washington state, where he faces a pretrial hearing Nov. 5.

Staff Sgt. Robert Bales arrived Monday at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and was being held in pretrial confinement, Lt. Col. Gary Dangerfield confirmed.

Bales was transferred from a military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. Bales faces 16 counts of premeditated murder; six counts of attempted murder; seven counts of assault; and one count each of possessing steroids, using steroids, destroying a laptop, burning bodies and

using alcohol.

His civilian lawyer, John Henry Browne, said a defense request for a delay in the pretrial hearing was denied Monday.

The defense sought the delay because it has been told it won’t receive forensic evidence until Oct. 26.

Browne said that will leave insufficient time to evaluate it.

“That’s what, 10 days before the hearing? But the judge says it’s going forward no matter what,” Browne said.

The pretrial hearing is expected to last two weeks.

Browne said he will travel to Afghanistan soon to question witnesses.

During the hearing, villagers are expected

www.iolaregister.com

to testify by video from Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan. The second week of the proceeding will be held in the evening so villagers can testify during daylight hours in Afghanistan.

The hearing under Article 32 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice will determine whether Bales, of Lake Tapps, will face a court-martial.

Investigators say Bales was armed with a 9 mm pistol and M4 rifle outfitted with a grenade launcher when he walked off his base in southern Afghanistan March 11 and went on a nighttime killing spree.

Bales could face the death penalty if convicted.

The center’s expansion of its Outdoor Adventure was selected as part of the project funded by the Trustees’ Philanthropy Fund of Fidelity Charitable.

The center must raise another $65,000 to match the grant. The money would be used to create a large water garden and launch two other national initiatives.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the center will be a Monarch Watch site, and will develop programs and interactive outdoor challenges that can be used by children’s museums nationwide.

Town upset with plan to drop police

NICKERSON, Kan. (AP) — After hearing from several angry residents, the Nickerson City Council voted for the second time to disband the city’s police department — but added a chance for a vote on the issue in April.

The council voted last week to eliminate the police department after the chief resigned in early October. On Monday night, about 50 residents of the Reno County town blasted the decision.

School board reviews science standards

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — State Board of Education members are reviewing the progress of Kansas and other states in drafting common science standards.

The board planned to hear this afternoon from the state official overseeing work on the standards and from a member of the state’s standards-writing committee.

Kansas is working with 25 other states and the National Research Council on common standards for possible adoption in their public schools.

A draft of the proposed standards released in May treats evolution as wellestablished science and a crucial concept for students to learn. Kansas officials expect another draft to be released in November.

Past work on science standards in Kansas has been overshadowed by debates about how evolution should be taught. Kansas currently has evolutionfriendly standards, but state law requires them to be updated.

Ex-soldier guilty of marriage fraud

by ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A former Kansas soldier will spend 10 months in federal prison for entering into a sham marriage so he could get additional military benefits and his Jamaican bride could become a legal immigrant, a federal judge ruled Monday.

In a rare move, U.S. District Judge Monti Belot rejected the prosecution’s request for leniency for Joshua Priest, saying it was not justified in this case.

The former Fort Riley private pleaded guilty in July

You have to be organized, disciplined and honest, you have to follow every lead and, I guess, keep reinventing yourself. — Cheryl Reed

“

By TERRY BROYLES Humboldt Correspondent

sho County Community College. For a time she was employed as Director of Nursing at a Chanute facility, but when her husband left in 1979, she discovered he also left her with $20,000 in debts for which she is responsible. “I needed money. My sister told me about Home Interiors and I thought I would try it from October until December,� she said. “By the end of December, I was completely out of debt.�

She began comparing her director’s pay with what she was earning selling the decorating products; she decided she would continue with Home Interiors through January to pad her checking account and get ahead. “I never got around to quitting,� she said. “I had a lot of pressure as a director, but this (Home Interiors) was straight from the hand of God. They were encouraging and patted me on the back.�

The first two years Reed worked both jobs, booking Home Interior shows in the evenings, which meant she missed out on some evening time with her children. In 1981 she quit the director’s position and went full time selling Home Interior products. “They had to teach me everything. I didn’t know anything,� Reed recalled about her early years. “I was bashful and backward, I would throw up before I got up to do a presentation.

It was all I could do to keep

going.�

She learned quickly and was proficient at duplicating the company’s displays, eventually confident enough to experiment with her own ideas. She discovered she could “write her own paycheck� and when she had extra expenses, like tags and taxes coming due, she would book additional shows. “You have to be organized, disciplined and honest,� Reed said about being her own boss. “You have to follow through every lead and, I guess, keep reinventing yourself.�

The drawbacks of having your own business were more pronounced in the beginning when she was the sole provider.

The parent Home Interiors Company sold four years ago and is now known as Celebrating Home. Reed has been rewarded for her high volume of sales with numerous vacation trips, a diamond and a van among other things. After some prompting, she went back into nursing on a part-time basis five years ago and has cut back the shows to three or four a week.

The home-based business has been a good fit for her children to be involved with and her grown daughters have become recruits into the business. “One year the kids sold candles and made enough to buy band uniforms,�

Reed said. “It’s nice for income taxes at the end of the year because I can deduct for things like having an office in my home. “I won’t ever quit. I can’t ‘not do it’ because of the friends and relationships I’ve made through the business. It’s really like nursing in that I’m meeting people’s needs.�

Reed lives in Humboldt with her husband, Vester.

They have four grown children, one son at home, Heath, 16, and have six grandchildren.

Officials expect mild flu season TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas health officials are expecting the state to have another relatively mild flu season, but they’re still encouraging shots for nearly everyone 6 months or older.

Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer and Health and Environment Secretary Robert Moser had a Statehouse news conference Monday to promote

getting vaccinated. Both received flu shots from a Walgreen Co. pharmacist during the event.

The flu season typically starts in early October, but the state has yet to receive a report of any influenza cases. But Colyer said it’s still wise to get a shot to reduce the chances of spreading the illness.

Koch brothers make the case for new controls

A Nobel Peace Prize for the Continent Perhaps we should congratulate the European Union for winning the Nobel Peace Prize and let it go at that. It is not, after all, unusual for the Norwegian committee to select an organization rather than an individual, and the E.U. surely satisfies Alfred Nobel’s criteria of forging fraternity between nations, reducing standing armies, and holding and promoting peace congresses.

There is no question that the E.U. has come to symbolize the transformation of a continent mired for centuries in war to one that has embraced peace and human rights. And by opening its doors to newly liberated members of the Soviet bloc, the E.U. certainly helped to break down the division of East and West.

But when the Norwegian Nobel Committee selects the E.U. for a peace prize just when Europe is going through a major and potentially destructive crisis, it is obvious that, once again, the Norwegians have chosen to send a political message. Thor-

— Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Committee

bjorn Jagland, the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, acknowledged as much in a news conference: “We want to remind us all what can happen if disintegration starts and if we let extremism and nationalism start growing again in Europe.”

Again, that is not new: the Nobel Committee has regularly stirred controversy by using the award to encourage and endorse political courses of action. The award to Barack Obama less than a year into his presidency or to Le Duc Tho and Henry Kissinger in 1973 are only two of many examples.

Yet we find ourselves asking whether it is really the job of the committee to use this award to get involved in current affairs

rather than to single out great achievements, as the awards to Albert Schweitzer and Mother Teresa did. And we find it a bit hard to accept the singling out of the E.U. (which Norwegians have voted against joining) for its fostering of peace in Europe since World War II, when NATO and the United States were at least as responsible.

But all that aside, who can begrudge the E.U. a dollop of positive reinforcement at this time?

There is little question that the E.U. is a remarkable achievement, and if this award helps it overcome its current woes, good.

One way to do that would be to give the award money to Greece.

Brownback and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades sought to undercut the criticism in separate news conferences by pointing to cuts in education funding under Brownback’s Democratic predecessor, Mark Parkinson.

The back-and-forth showed that Democrats see increased spending on public schools as a much higher priority than tax cuts, while Brownback and his allies place the biggest premium on reducing income taxes to stimulate the economy. Also, the debate showed that Democrats view money as the biggest concern in education, while Brownback and his allies see other policy issues as important.

“For a lot of years, we’ve been high-centered on finances,” said

“

I can’t emphasize this enough: [Economic] Growth is the key to education funding.

— Gov. Sam Brownback

Rhoades, a conservative Newton Republican. “I’d like to add to the conversation.”

Democrats hope a debate over education funding inoculates them against almost-certain mailings and advertising by conservative groups tying them to President Barack Obama and the federal health care law he championed. The same tactic resulted in big GOP gains in 2010 and fueled a purge of moderate Senate incumbents in this year’s Republican primaries.

Brownback’s news conference last week was an attempt to counter Democrats’ suggestions that he’s anti-education.

In 2011, he pushed legislators to reduce the state’s base aid to schools by 5.9 percent to help close a budget shortfall. But his staff handed out a data sheet and set up a big poster-board chart showing the overall decline was bigger under Parkinson in the wake of the Great Recession and that the state has committed more total dollars to schools since he took office.

The state will spend $3.2 billion under its current budget on aid to public schools — not quite as much as it did during the 20082009 school year but more than it has since then. Base aid per student is still nearly 13 percent lower than in 2008-09 because the state had to compensate for a loss of federal stimulus funds and shifted resources into teacher pensions and capital improvements.

The Kansas Democratic Party

“

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Democrats hope to avoid another election-year wipeout by making funding for public schools a major issue in legislative races, and their move highlights key differences between them and Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

Democrats are criticizing Brownback and his conservative allies over massive income tax cuts enacted this year, suggesting they’ll create big budget problems. They contend the tax cuts will force the state to dramatically reduce aid to public schools and that Brownback has shown he’s willing to slash education funding.

declared in recent mailings in legislative races that, “nothing is more important than good public schools,” and Democratic leaders see restoring education funding to pre-2009 levels as a compelling need. With the economy recovering, tax cuts should be considered when schools are properly funded, they argue.

“We would have restored the cuts to public schools first before you pass this massive income tax cut,” Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, said during a news conference following up on Brownback’s event.

Brownback and his allies took another path this year. The state will cut individual income tax rates for 2013 and exempt the owners of 191,000 businesses from income taxes. The final measure was more aggressive than Brownback proposed, but he signed it, even in the face of projections from legislative researchers that it would lead to collective budget shortfalls approaching $2.5 billion over the next six years.

The governor has acknowledged the likelihood of budget problems over the next two years, but he and other conservatives believe the legislative researchers’ projections are too pessimistic.

Conservatives also dispute the idea that pushing aggressively for tax cuts means they’re ignoring schools’ needs. They argue that the growth resulting from See ED FUNDING| Page A5

Challenging weather causes strife for farmers MANHATTAN — Topsy-turvy weather this summer and fall posed plenty of challenges for livestock producers — one of which is the possibility of increased nitrate and prussic acid levels in forages, according to Kansas State University veterinarian, Larry Hollis.

Producers in some parts of the state saw new plant growth after muchneeded rains this fall, following months of severe drought. Testing of some forage supplies, however, indicated nitrate levels above safe levels in some cases, said Hollis, who is a beef cattle specialist with K-State Research and Extension.

“

The bottom line is, test for nitrates before turning cattle out on any new crop growth.

— Larry Hollis, KSU veterinarian

“

Dave Kehler director of the K-State Research and Extension office in El Dorado, is encouraging producers to test before turning cattle out on newgrowth forages.

“We have sent samples of corn, forage sorghum, milo and millet,” Kehler said. “Only one of those tests came back with a safe nitrate level. One was medium (7,070 parts per million dry matter basis).

The others have been high (10,000-15,000 ppm) and some others over 18,000.”

Kehler said that all prussic acid tests that he’s aware of in his area have been low, but they were all taken before a recent fall freeze.

“A lot of this unusual nitrate situation is a result of producers fertilizing their crops with ni-

trogen and the nitrogen not being utilized from the soil because of the low level of grain or forage production resulting from the drought,” Hollis said.

“The available nitrogen in the soil was only partially utilized by the original plant growth. Some of the original growth was already high in nitrate because of poor movement of nitrogen into the upper parts of the plants (leaves and corn ears or sorghum heads). The regrowth of plants that were still alive, or new growth of volunteer plants from scattered corn or milo seed, pulled a lot of available soil nitrogen into these live plants, resulting in the high nitrate levels currently being detected.”

In addition to the nitrate levels, Hollis is encouraging producers to check for prussic acid levels in any forages that were green and growing at the time of the recent freezing nights.

“If leaves on the plants had already turned brown and dried up prior to any recent rain, then prussic acid is not a concern,” he said. “If re-growth of green leaves, development of tillers, or volunteer growth of plants occurred, then prussic acid could be a problem.”

Hollis also fielded at least one report of high nitrate levels in both turnips and oats.

Given the extreme weather conditions, we are seeing toxic levels in plants that we don’t normally suspect,” Kehler said. “For this reason, we are encouraging producers to have tests done.”

Bulbs can make world of difference Bulbs are a good addition to any landscape or garden because they offer a variety of bloom color, flowering time, plant height and shape. October is the time to plant spring flowering bulbs.

Bulbs can be planted in a variety of locations including around house foundations, under deciduous shrubs and trees, along borders, in perennial beds and rock gardens, in containers and even on steep slopes.

When planted along a foundation, bulbs will add color in the early spring if planted in a grouping of 12 or more. If you have evergreen shrubs planted along a foundation, they will provide a nice background for planting of bulbs. Bulbs will “pop” with color in contrast to the green of the shrubs.

Spring bulbs can be planted under deciduous shrubs or small trees. You

may be wondering how this can be because of a lack of sunlight. Early blooming bulbs receive plenty of light because they start growing long before trees and shrubs start to develop leaves. Some bulbs that do well in this type of setting include grape hyacinths, crocus, bluebells and early maturing daffodils.

A border of bulbs planted along the edge of the lawn will add a splash of color to the lawn area. You can add them directly into a perennial bed and the bulbs will bloom in March, April and May before perennials start to grow.

“I can’t emphasize this enough: Growth is the key to education funding,” Brownback said during his news conference.

Brownback also has attempted to shift the debate from a focus on raw dollars to how effectively those dollars are spent by appointing a school efficiency task force dominated by certified public accountants. He contends the state needs to do a better job of making sure its aid finances classroom instruction.

Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat, said raising other issues is an attempt to provide political cover for inevitable cuts in education funding.

“They are going to produce some sort of study saying we can reduce funding for school by this certain amount and it will all be in the name of efficiency,” Davis said. “The purpose of it is to try to back out funding.”

Meanwhile, in pushing education funding as a big issue in legislative races, Democrats are outlining a political vision for Kansas voters to consider that’s significantly different than the one spelled out by Brownback and his allies in governing. ___ John Hanna has covered Kansas politics and government since 1987.

There are three separate investigations into the attack going on now: an FBI probe into the deaths of the four Americans, an independent inquiry by a panel appointed by Clinton and the congressional hearings.

Initial reports attributed the cause of the violent attack as one of a number of spontaneous demonstrations in several Muslim countries over a film produced in the U.S. that denigrated the Prophet Muhammad. The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, insisted in on a number of Sunday talk shows that the investigation up to that point showed no indication of a planned attack. Within days, the White House reversed its position, saying new findings indicated the attack was intentional and coordinated.

“In the wake of an attack like this, in the fog of war, there’s always going to be confusion,” Clinton told CNN. “And I think it is absolutely fair to say that everyone had the same intelligence. Everyone who spoke tried to give the information that they had.

As time has gone on, that information has changed.

bility for the Benghazi attack and what they called “an escalating pattern of attacks this year in Benghazi” squarely on President Barack Obama and his national security team.

“If the president was truly not aware of this rising threat level in Benghazi, then we have lost confidence in his national security team, whose responsibility it is to keep the president informed,” Sens.

John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire said in a statement released late Monday. “But if the President was aware of these earlier attacks in Benghazi prior to the events of September 11, 2012, then he bears full responsibility for any security failures that occurred.”

Bloomberg News reported Sunday that Ambassador Stevens’ father said he believes his son’s death is being investigated adequately and said it would be “abhorrent to make this into a campaign issue.”

Clinton agreed with the need to keep the Benghazi tragedy out of politics.

“I know that we’re very close to an election,” Clinton told CNN. “I want to just take a step back here and say from my own experience, we are at our best as Americans when we pull together. I’ve done that with Democratic presidents and Republican presidents.”

While they share many things in common, Donna said she and Ray are complete opposites when it comes to how they work. Donna is a self-proclaimed “workaholic,� describing her comfort zone as being busy all of the time. In the Allen County Historical Society’s annual report, Donna was the only volunteer who didn’t have a specific amount of hours listed for the year — her amount just read “1,000-plus.�

Ray openly described himself as someone who likes to relax when possible. However, Donna described him as someone who works very hard behind the scenes. “I don’t particularly like to be on the front page,� Ray said. “Donna just happens to end up there all of the time.�

While they have different approaches to achieving their goals, the Housers are the type of people that have helped make Iola what it is today. The Housers have worked to “beautify� the square, renovating windows and store fronts. Ray has been a docent with the Bowlus Fine Arts Center for several years.

They said they have always worked well together, especially when considering how different they are in their approaches to being involved in the community.

When asked what car they would be leading the parade in, Donna and Ray laughed and said they hadn’t even had time to think about enjoying the weekend’s festivities, since they have been so busy in recent weeks.

Donna repeated her stance on acting as a parade marshal with her husband. “We don’t want the credit,�

THE COUNCILâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S November meeting was moved to Nov. 13 to avoid a conflict with Veterans Day on Nov. 12.

Council members tabled discussion on a new contract with the Allen County Animal Rescue Facility, which called for Humboldt to pay $80 for each dog taken to the LaHarpe kennels.

Works said he had not had opportunity to review the contract, first presented to him and council members Monday night.

Provisions for Humboldt to take sick animals to a veterinarian before transporting them to ACARF gave Works pause, as did other things â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m seeing for the first time,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Tucker said a meeting to consider how to improve Humboldtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing stock would be at 6 p.m. Nov. 5 at Humboldt High.

Also, he said the storm siren in Cannon Park, in the north part of town, would be moved to a higher pole.

The initial pole was 50 feet tall and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the siren high enough to cover all of the town. Trees and the park being â&#x20AC;&#x153;in something of a valleyâ&#x20AC;? affected its coverage, Tucker said. A new 100-foottall pole was purchased from Chanute for $1,000, which Tucker described as a bargain.

Aikins and Councilman Otis Crawford attended a League of Kansas Municipalities conference last week.

Aikins said during a session on codes it was noted that to be effective, cities should adopt codes that were enforceable and then enforce them.

Tucker said the overriding plan discussed earlier was to move the ambulance station, which he deemed inadequate for 24-hour-a-day service, to the fire station and build a new structure to house fire-fighting equipment.

Allen Community College’s Dorian Fox scored a goal Monday for the Red Devils in a 2-1 win over visiting Dodge City Community College.

Red Devils earn split

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

Allen Community College midfielder Dorian Fox’s goal from about 10 yards out gave the Red Devil soccer team an early lead Monday afternoon.

The Red Devil defense took it from there, limiting Dodge City Community College’s scoring opportunities throughout the rest of the 2-1 win.

The Fox goal, midway through the first half, came off an assist

by Jhovanty Baltazar.

Baltazar’s pass led to a nifty bit of footwork by Fox, who got his defender turned around long enough to rifle a shot to the bottom right corner of the net, beyond the reach of the Conquistador goalkeeper.

An own goal later in the contest provided the final margin of the 2-1 win.

Jordan Drake made a number

of critical saves in the contest — seven total — as goalkeeper.

The victory snaps a five-game losing streak for the Red Devils (5-9 overall and 3-6 in Jayhawk Conference action).

The Red Devil women, however, could not match their male counterparts.

A Dodge City goal in the 39th minute of the first half was the only tally of a 1-0 Conquistador victory.

Keelie Arbuckle played in goal for Allen and made eight other saves.

The soccer teams are in Tonkawa, Okla., to face Northern Oklahoma College today. The game is the final regular season contest of the year for the men. The women (1-14 overall; 1-8 in Jayhawk Conference) return home Thursday to host Garden City Community College to wrap up the regular season.

Humboldt Cubs’ running back Jacob Carpenter (5) runs for a gain in Monday’s win over Eureka High School.

Humboldt opens districts with 48-8 romp HUMBOLDT — Having to wait three extra days to open district play had little negative effects Monday for Humboldt High.

The Cubs erupted for 34 firsthalf points to open their contest Monday against visiting Eureka High in a 48-8 win.

The win pushes Humboldt’s record to 5-2 on the season and 1-0 in Kansas Class 3A, District 6 play. The Cubs host another district contest Friday night at home against winless Fredonia.

Monday night’s game was postponed from Friday due to

stormy weather.

“We came out and were really efficient offensively,” Humboldt head coach K.B. Criss said.

“Our defense did a good job of not giving up a big play against their passing game. We bent, but didn’t break.”

The offense was once again keyed by senior quarterback Nathan Whitcomb, who rushed for 109 yards on 7 carries and completed 11 of 15 passes for 178 more.

Whitcomb tossed touchdown passes to Blake Crawford for 16

yards, Tanner McNutt for 30 and to Noah Thornbrugh for 50 before taking a well-deserved rest in the second half. He also ran a 54-yard touchdown jaunt late in the first quarter.

The Cubs led 13-0 after the first quarter and put the game away with three more touchdowns in the second period.

Jacob Carpenter scored on a two-yard run to open the firsthalf scoring. Trey Johnson’s one-yard scoring run ended it.

Revamped ACC squad claims victory PARSONS — It took a while for Allen Community College to get adjusted to a new offense, deployed Monday because of a concussion suffered over the weekend by Jacqui Ortiz.

The Red Devil volleyball squad dropped its opening set to host Labette Community College.

“We struggled to look organized,” head coach Jessica Peters said, “along with a defense that was watching balls hit or fall rather than going after them.”

The mindset started to change in the second set.

Sophomore Autumn Douglas, along with Sierra Morgison and Hayley Mertens, keyed a threeset rally to win, 18-25, 25-20, 25-19, 25-19.

“Admitting as a team that we were waiting for Labette to make the mistakes was the change that had to be made quickly,” Peters said. “That is when we found the team we knew we had: organized, effective, supportive and with a ‘wanting a win’ mentality.

“Credit can go to blocking, which minimized their errors tonight, and we also saw a few aces throughout the night. Overall, we didn’t give away many points.”

Mertens led the way with 19 points, 19 kills and 19 digs.

Douglas, described by Peters as “unstoppable” through the first

Kime leads ACC runners OVERLAND PARK — Allen Community College’s Debra Kime brought home the top individual time for the Red Devil women’s cross country team Saturday at the Dave Burgess Open, a 5K cross country race.

Kime’s mark of 21 minutes, 20.5 seconds, was good for ninth overall.

She was followed by Kim Boyle, 11th at 21:30.2; Kim Cooper, 19th at 22:07.1; Sydney Owens, 20th at 22:09.2; and Bianca Ramirez, 26th overall at 24:35.8.

Allen’s cumulative time of 1:51.42.8 was good for fourth place overall at 83 points.

Haskell’s Talisa Budder won the race with a time

of 19:33.5. Cowley County had the top team score at 41 points at 1:46:04.5.

The Red Devils sat their top three runners due health reasons.

Allen head coach Vince DeGrado said the results show a need for improvement.

“We didn’t compete like a team that is one of the top three in the region,” DeGrado said. “We were very uncertain of ourselves. I take full blame for our performance. I’m not in panic mode or anything, because I know this is just part of the ‘dog days’ we have to get through.

“The competition featured Cowley and Highland,” he continued. “They

both looked strong, and I’m expecting them to be ready in two weeks as the region and conference favorite with Johnson County.”

While Allen could have been considered a favorite for a regional crown as recently as a few weeks ago, injuries and other struggles have taken their toll on the Red Devils, DeGrado said.

“I’ll have my ladies ready Oct. 27 to compete, and all I can ask is for them to give it their best they possibly can, and we’ll see where the chips fall from there.”

There was one bright spot. DeGrado credited Owens for improving her time in claiming a top-20 finish.

Chargers blew a 10-point lead in the third quarter in a 31-24 loss at New Orleans.

“When you lose it’s rough, especially in a game where you had a big lead and Phillip Rivers so much at stake,” Rivers said.

“It’s bad,” San Diego linebacker Takeo Spikes said. “Every adjective you can come up with as far as disappointment, it covers it.”

The Broncos seemed finished after an awful first half in which Manning served up an 80-yard interception return for a touchdown by Quentin Jammer and two special teams fumbles led to 10 points for the Chargers.

“I thought we had a good plan. It was so disappointing to have these special team mistakes,” Manning said.

Manning began the comeback when he hit Demaryius Thomas on a 29-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive of the second half.

On the ensuing San Diego possession, Elvis Dumervil stripped the ball from Rivers and Carter ran 65 yards for a touchdown, holding up the ball in celebration as he approached the end zone.

Denver then sacked Rivers to force a punt and Manning capped the next drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Eric Decker to pull to 24-21.

Manning’s 21-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley gave Denver its first lead of the game, 28-24 with 9:03 left. Stokley outleaped defensive back Marcus Gilchrist to catch the ball, and then got both feet down before tumbling out of the end zone.

That score was set up

by Carter’s interception.

Harris sealed the victory with a 46-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:05 left.

It was his second pick of the game.

St. Louis Cardinals’ Matt Holliday breaks up a double play by sliding into San Francisco Giants second baseman Marco Scutaro in first inning action during Game 2 of the National League Championship Series Monday at AT&T Park in San Francisco.

The Giants won, 7-1.

Giants roll past Cards, 7-1

By ANTONIO GONZALEZ AP Sports Writer

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Marco Scutaro stayed steady behind second base, absorbing Matt Holliday’s hard takeout slide and tossing the ball to first for a possible double play.

As Scutaro squirmed in the infield, twisting in pain, fans at AT&T Park showered Holliday with boos.

Giants players watched and worried, fearing the worst for a fallen teammate.

Manager Bruce Bochy and trainer Dave Groeschner ran out of the dugout to attend to Scutaro, who finally dusted off the dirt and stood up strongly.

And just like that, so did San Francisco’s offense.

Scutaro singled in two runs during a four-run fourth inning before leaving with a hip injury, sparking San Francisco’s first home win this postseason, 7-1 over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night to tie the NL championship series at one game apiece.

“We felt for him,” center fielder Angel Pagan said.

“We felt a little bit of anger.”

All those feelings came crashing down on the Cardinals in a hurry.

Scutaro left after the fifth because of a left hip he injured on a play Giants manager Bruce Bochy felt was illegal. X-rays were negative, and Scutaro likely will get an MRI exam today. There was no word on his status, but closer Sergio Romo said when Scutaro left, the second baseman “had a little smile on his face that he’d be back. Definitely not really worried right now.”

“In my opinion,” right fielder Hunter Pence said, “it pumped us up a little bit.”

The series now shifts to St. Louis for three games, starting Wednesday when San Francisco ace Matt Cain takes on Kyle Lohse of the Cardinals, and the

Giants are already rallying behind the slide against Scutaro.

Things got testy when Holliday barreled into Scutaro at second base to break up the potential double play in the first inning. The play riled up fans that had seen three straight losses by the Giants so far this postseason and still hold fresh — and sensitive — memories of the home-plate collision that sidelined All-Star catcher Buster Posey most of last season.

“In hindsight, I wish I would have started the slide a little earlier, but it happened so fast,” Holliday said. “I hope he’s OK, he’s a good guy. I was more interested in breaking up the double play.”

There was plenty to cheer all night for Giants supporters.

Ryan Vogelsong pitched seven strong innings, Pagan hit a leadoff homer to give San Francisco its first home lead this postseason and Scutaro stayed in until breaking the game open with his single off Chris Carpenter.

“That shows you how tough he is,” Bochy said. “I really think they got away with an illegal slide there.

That rule was changed a while back. And he really didn’t hit dirt until he was

past the bag. Marco was behind the bag and got smoked. It’s a shame somebody got hurt because of this. That’s more of a roadblock.”

Making Scutaro’s hit even sweeter for the Giants was the fact that Holliday misplayed the ball in left field, allowing a third run to score on the error and Scutaro to advance to second.

“There’s baseball gods.

There’s definitely baseball gods,” said former Giants first baseman and current special assistant Will Clark, whose takeout slide in July 2008 of St. Louis second baseman Jose Oquendo, now the Cardinals third base coach, set off a brawl.

“There’s a reason why he hits a (single) and Holliday boots the ball he hit. Baseball gods shine in weird ways.”

The Giants also benefited from a missed call by an umpire in the eighth inning after St. Louis center fielder Jon Jay made a spectacular, diving catch to rob Brandon Crawford of a hit.

Jay threw toward first and the Cardinals should have gotten a double play, but first base umpire Bill Miller did not see Allen Craig tag Gregor Blanco’s jersey as he raced back to first on the play.

Before it was retired by NASA, the spacecraft had logged 25 flight missions.

However, its final journey was slowed by unexpected maintenance issues and lastminute maneuvers to avoid obstacles like trees and utility poles. Ultimately, the 85ton orbiter survived the trip with nary a scratch.

Endeavour arrived at Exposition Park, where the science center is located, more than 16 hours late, after a three-day, 12-mile journey from Los Angeles International Airport.

In preparation for the move, the city of Los Angeles felled 268 trees to make room for Endeavourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wings, while public works crews temporarily removed 223 traffic signals and raised more than 100 power and utility lines.

But the apparent cooperation of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has said he masterminded the worst terror attack on U.S. soil, and four codefendants did little to speed up proceedings that been have stuck in a legal and political morass for years.

Defense lawyers spent hours arguing that their clients shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to attend the hearing, saying they dredge up bad memories of their harsh treatment in CIA detention. The military judge ruled that the men would not have to attend the hearings for the rest of the week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our clients may believe that ... I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be subjected to this procedure that transports me here, brings up memories, brings up emotions of things that happened to me,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Harrington, who represents Ramzi Binalshibh, accused of helping to provide support to the hijackers who crashed planes into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.

Space shuttle Endeavour moves down Martin Luther King Boulevard on the last leg of its journey to the California Science Center at Exposition Park on Monday. of the late civil rights leader.

Even so, the journey was halted repeatedly so crews could do last-minute trims on tree branches. At one point, workers lowered the shuttle so it could sneak under the branches of a leafy tree.

The trip also was lengthened when a two-hour maintenance stop in the Leimert Park section on Saturday night stretched to five hours.

As it began rolling again, crews spotted a hydraulic leak from one of the wheeled trailers under the spacecraft and hit the brakes.

Despite the delays, the crowds remained buoyant.

When Endeavour reached the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Vermont Avenue about 10:45 a.m., thousands of people poured into the streets chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Science center or bust!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go!â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;So close, so close!â&#x20AC;?

Many spectators waited through the night or rose long before dawn for their chance to view a piece of history. Some were still clad in pajamas and bathrobes as the shuttle passed through their neighborhoods early in the morning.

Guy Quesada, 42, began his stakeout at the California Science Center at 4 p.m.

Saturday. But after hours of waiting, he decided to find the shuttle on his own. He walked west on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard for about an hour and squeezed through the crowd to catch a glimpse. By Sunday morning, he had wandered back east to the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Sixth Avenue, where he watched the shuttle through a pair of binoculars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actual wing was right over us. It (crept) right over us,â&#x20AC;? Quesada said, smiling.

He said he was close enough to read the numbers on the shuttleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individual tiles.

at the defense tables under the watchful eyes of military guards and several 9/11 family members at the U.S. base in Cuba. Mohammed, his beard dyed a rust color with henna, serenely read legal papers.

Two others responded politely to the judge when asked.

All seemed to cooperate with their attorneys in a specially designed high-tech courtroom that allows the government to muffle sounds so spectators behind a glass wall cannot hear classified information.

The orderly scene was in stark contrast to their arraignment in May on charges that include terrorism and murder. At that session, one prisoner was briefly restrained for acting out, Binalshibh launched into an incoher-

ent rant, the men generally ignored the judge and refused to use the court translation system, and two stood up to pray at one point.

Harrington told the court that the defendants may want to boycott future court sessions because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize the U.S. governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authority, or because their transportation from their high-security cells may remind them of the harsh treatment they endured when confined in the CIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overseas network of secret prisons before they came to Guantanamo in September 2006.

Prosecutors want the men to be required to attend court sessions. Army Col. James Pohl ruled that Mohammed and his codefendants could not attend hearings that were scheduled to run through the end of this week. He said he may require them to attend future pretrial sessions and said they would have to be present for their trial, likely to begin more than a year from now.

The focus of the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearings include broad security rules for the prisoners, including measures to prevent the accused from publicly revealing what happened to them in the CIA prisons.

Prosecutors have asked the judge to approve what is known as a protective order intended to prevent the release of classified information during trial.

Pharmacyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other drugs may be causing illness

By MIKE STOBBE Associate Press

NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two more drugs from a specialty pharmacy linked to a meningitis outbreak are now being investigated, U.S. health officials said, as they urged doctors to contact patients who got any kind of injection from the company.

The New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass., has been under scrutiny since last month, when a rare fungal form of meningitis was linked to its steroid shots used mostly for back pain.

Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s step by the Food and Drug Administration followed two developments. One was a report of a meningitis illness in a patient who got another type of steroid made by the company.

The agency also learned of two heart transplant patients who got fungal infections after being given a third product from the company during surgery.

The illnesses are under investigation, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very possible the heart patients were infected by another source, FDA officials cautioned. They did not say

A Digital Mammogram Can Help Detect a Lump months before you can feel it... ...and that can make a tremendous difference in your treatment and outcomes.

The agency said it took the step â&#x20AC;&#x153;out of an abundance of cautionâ&#x20AC;? as it investigates the new reports involving the heart surgery drug and the second steroid, called triamcinolone acetonide.

Last week, federal health officials said 12,000 of the roughly 14,000 people who received steroid shots had been contacted. Nearly all the 214 illnesses are fungal meningitis; two people had joint infections Symptoms of meningitis include severe headache, nausea, dizziness and fever.

The CDC said many of the cases have been mild, and some people had strokes.

Symptoms have been appearing between one and four weeks after patients got the shots, but CDC officials on Thursday warned at least one illness occurred 42 days after a shot.

whether fungal meningitis was involved in the new report.

The current outbreak has sickened 214 people, including 15 who have died.

For weeks, officials have been urging doctors to contact patients who got shots of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s steroid methylprednisolone acetate, advise them about the risks of fungal infection, and urge them to take any meningitis symptoms seriously.

The steroid was recalled last month, and the company later shut down operations and recalled all the medicines it makes.

The FDA on Monday expanded its advice to doctors to contact all patients who got any injection made by the company, including steroids and drugs used in eye surgery as well as heart operations.

Justice to rule on proof of citizenship

By David G. Savage Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will weigh in on the controversy over voter fraud and decide whether Arizona can require residents to show proof of their citizenship before they register to vote.

The justices voted to hear Arizona’s appeal of an antifraud provision that was struck down by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The high court will not hear the case until early next year, with a ruling expected in the spring.

Although many states seek to require more proof of a voter’s identity when they cast a ballot, Arizona wants to require more documentation from those who seek to register to vote.

Arizona’s voters in 2004 adopted Proposition 200, which included new provisions designed to prevent illegal immigrants from voting. Those wanting to register to vote were told they must submit proof of their citizenship.

They could show an Arizona’s driver’s license, a U.S. passport, a birth certificate or naturalization documents.

But this provision was challenged in court and blocked from taking effect. The 9th Circuit said the requirement for extra documents clashed with the federal “motor voter” legislation of 1993, which was designed to make it easier for people to register to vote by filling out a federal form and sending it through the mail.

The form requires applicants to certify they are citizens entitled to vote.

A panel of 9th Circuit judges, including retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, struck down the Arizona provision because it conflicted with the federal law. The Constitution says Congress may override state rules for elections, the judges said.

Americans win Nobel econ prize

By KARL RITTER and PAUL WISEMAN Associated Press

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two American scholars won the Nobel economics prize Monday for work on match-making — how to pair doctors with hospitals, students with schools, kidneys with transplant recipients and even men with women in marriage.

Lloyd Shapley of UCLA and Alvin Roth, a Harvard University professor currently visiting at Stanford University, found ways to make markets work when traditional economic tools fail.

Shapley, 89, came up with the formulas to match supply and demand in markets where prices don’t do the job; the 60-year-old Roth put Shapley’s math to work in the real world.

“

We’re talking about the nittygritty of health care and education — which medical students are assigned to which hospitals.

We’re talking about how to arrange donors of kidneys.

— Robert Aumann, professor at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University

Unlike some recent Nobel prizes — such as the Peace Prize that went to the embattled European Union last week — this year’s economics award did not seem to send a political message.

“It’s all about down-toearth, highly useful stuff,”

said Robert Aumann, a professor at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University who won the 2005 economics Nobel.

“We’re talking about the nitty-gritty of health care and education — which medical students are assigned to which hospitals.

We’re talking about how to arrange donors of kidneys.”

Shapley made early theoretical inroads into the subject, using game theory to analyze different matching methods in the 1950s and ‘60s.

In a groundbreaking 1962 paper, Shapley and the late David Gale looked at how to match 10 men and 10 women in perfectly stable marriages. They created a model in which no two people liked anyone else better than each other.

While that may have had little impact on marriages and divorces, the elegant algorithm they developed has been used to better understand many different markets.

Building on Shapley’s work, Roth applied it decades later to the market for allocating doctors, creating an algorithm that led to the redesign of the National Resident Matching Program that pairs fourthyear medical students with hospitals.

“Before Roth, it was not unusual to not get any of your first three or four choices,” said David Warsh, who follows university economists in his Economic Principals blog. “After Roth hooked up this new algorithm, almost everyone got what they wanted.”

Roth also successfully applied the formula to New York City’s public schools, ensuring that fewer students ended up in schools that were not among their top choices. Now, noted Su-

san Athey, a Stanford University economist, “there are school districts all over the country that are considering these matching procedures.”

The algorithm has also been used to match kidneys with patients who need transplants.

Before Roth, “there were no economists in that business at all,” Warsh says.

“He’s really changed it and saved a lot of lives.”

Roth looks at cases where prices can’t be used to match supply and demand.

In some markets — such as organ transplants — society recoils at the notion of a product or service going to whoever can pay the highest price.

Obama, first lady voting early “ This morning, I cast my vote early for Barack

By KEN THOMAS Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama won’t be posing for any photos in the voting booth on Election Day — he’s casting his ballot early.

Obama and first lady Michelle Obama said Monday they are both voting early, a nod to the campaign’s efforts to encourage supporters to vote absentee by mail or cast their ballot at an early voting location. Mrs. Obama said on Twitter that she dropped her absentee ballot in the mail on Monday, telling her followers, “I couldn’t wait for Election Day!” The first lady then tweeted out a photo of her posing with the envelope holding her absentee ballot.

Minutes later, the president said on Twitter that he was following Mrs. Obama’s example and intended to vote early in person in Illinois on Oct. 25 — three days after the final presidential debate.

“If your state has early voting, join me,” Obama said on Twitter, directing followers to a link with more information about early voting.

At a rally at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio, on Monday, the first lady enthusiastically shared the news of her early vote.

“This morning, I cast my vote early for Barack Obama,” she said to cheers. “Today! I voted for my husband. Yes! It felt so good. Right now, my absentee ballot is on its way to Il-

Obama. Today! I voted for my husband, Yes! It felt so good. Right now, my absentee ballot is on its way to Illinois my home state.

Forgive me if I’m a little excited today. For me it was Election Day.

— Michelle Obama

linois, my home state.” She added, “forgive me if I’m a little excited today. For me it was Election Day.” Obama’s campaign said it was the first time a presidential nominee and his spouse will not vote in person on Election Day, reflecting their emphasis on early voting in several key battleground states.

Obama dominated early voting in 2008, giving him an edge over Republican John McCain well before Election Day. In Colorado, Florida, Iowa and North Carolina, for example, Obama banked so many votes early in the process that he won each state even though he lost the Election Day vote, according to voting data compiled by The Associated Press.

The carefully choreographed early voting announcement was part of a big push this week. Obama plans to discuss early voting in Ohio and Iowa on Wednesday, after Tuesday’s second presidential debate.

The first lady was discussing early voting at events in Ohio on Monday, in North Carolina today and in Wis-

consin on Friday.

Obama has repeatedly urged supporters to vote early, placing an emphasis on absentee and early voting during recent rallies in battleground states such as Florida, Iowa and Ohio.

The strategy aims to free up campaign workers and volunteers on Nov. 6 to focus on a smaller number of potential supporters and make sure they get to the polls.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s campaign has targeted supporters who don’t typically vote in every election, placing a premium on getting those voters to cast early ballots. Most of Romney’s remaining supporters would be people who are much more likely to vote, regardless of whether they are contacted by the campaign.

Opinions mixed on antibiotics before dental work Dear Drs. Donohue and Roach: I had two total hip

replacements about 10 years ago. I was told that I should take antibiotics one hour before undergoing dental procedures. I take 600 milligrams of clindamycin.

Recently, I read that a considerable percentage of the orthopedic medical community is of the opinion that antibiotics are NOT required after a two-year post-op period. My dentist feels otherwise, but I feel he may be reacting with an overabundance of precaution because of the possibility of litigation in the event an infection were to develop after dental work. Your thoughts? — C.H. Answer: People with total hip replacements have hardware in their joints that is at higher risk for infection than normal, healthy joints, so it makes sense to consider using antibiotics before procedures that might cause a temporary inflow of bacteria.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons doesn’t give a specific recommendation, just that clinicians consider prescribing antibiotics. Early studies

show that infection of the artificial joint can happen even many years after surgery, so I’m not sure the two-year rule makes complete sense.

Ultimately, your doctor has to weigh the risks of the antibiotic (low, but not zero) against the risk of infection (low, but disastrous if it occurs). Doctors and dentists do think about litigation risk, but let’s give your dentist the benefit of the doubt and assume he reasoned that the possible side effects of an antibiotic you have taken before are less dangerous than the small possibility of an infected hip joint.

nosed with polycythemia vera. I have been seeing my hematologist on a regular basis; he said he isn’t concerned about any type of treatment because my hemoglobin and platelets are fine.

My white blood cell count is always between 20-24. Do you feel I have anything to be concerned about? I am otherwise healthy, feel great and don’t feel tired. I would like to know what you think.

— K.M. Answer: Polycythemia vera, also called polycythemia rubra vera (which, in Latin, means “too many red blood cells”), is an uncommon blood condition in which the body makes more red blood cells than it needs.

People with the usual kind of this condition have too many RED blood cells. You have too many WHITE blood cells.

common form of treatment is bloodletting. (Yes, there are still a few diseases that we treat with bloodletting.)

But periodic blood removal is not indicated for people who have normal red blood or hemoglobin levels; that’s why your hematologist isn’t recommending any treatment.

A complication of polycythemia vera is transformation to a myelodysplastic (MY-el-oh-dis-PLAS-tic) syndrome, a more severe blood disease of the white cells, such as leukemia (“myelodysplastic” means “bad growth in the bone marrow”). Although this happens at a rate of only about 0.5 percent per year, it is more common in women, and this is something I am sure your hematologist is looking out for. There are medicines to reduce the white blood cell count, but some of these seem to increase the rate of leukemia. Blood clotting can be a problem in some patients, and this can be treated and prevented with aspirin. Polycythemia vera should be managed by an expert, so keep seeing your hematologist regularly.

DAILY CRYPTOQUOTES - Here’s how to work it:

Sudoku is like a crossword puzzle, but uses numbers instead of words.

The puzzle is a box of 81 squares, subdivided into 3x3 cubes of 9 squares each. Some squares are filled in with numbers. The rest should be filled in by the puzzler.

Fill in the blank squares allowing the numbers 1-9 to appear only once in every row, once in every column and once in every 3x3 box.

One-star puzzles are for beginners, and the difficulty gradually increases through the week to a very challenging fivestar puzzle.

Pizza Hut rethinks debate stunt

By CANDICE CHOI and MAE ANDERSON Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Pizza Hut is rethinking its contest daring people to ask “Sausage or Pepperoni?” at the presidential debate tonight.

After the stunt triggered backlash last week, the company says it’s moving the

promotion online, where a contestant will be randomly selected to win free pizza for life.

The pizza delivery chain had offered the prize — a pie a week for 30 years or a check for $15,600 — to anyone who posed the question to either President Barack Obama or Republican can-

But blogs and media outlets immediately took the pizza delivery chain to task for trying to capitalize on the election buzz by injecting itself into the process.
