Runaway attempt by boys goes awry Two 15-year-old boys ran away from a foster home provided by Larry Lillard, Moran, about 10 o’clock Monday evening, but their escapade ran into some twists and turns and soon failed.

According to a report by Allen County officers the two, Thomas Winzer and Brice Nelson, stole pickup trucks owned by Robert Cook and Darin Norman, Moran residents, after leaving the Lillard residence. In their haste to flee, one truck

ran into the other, which led the two boys to continue their journey in one truck.

They soon were apprehended.

Officers said they would seek charges of theft, burglary, conspiracy, driving without a license, failure to report an accident, failure to remove debris from a roadway and being a runaway against both, as well as additional charges of following too closely and violation of basic speed rule against Nelson.

H Election far from unprecedented for an incumbent scrambling to keep his job.

Across the miles, Obama was holding rallies from morning to night, appearing on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno and calling some voters from the plane. It is the first half of a two-day trip that will see him going to Florida, Virginia and Ohio on Thursday, with a stop sandwiched in for him to cast his vote in Chicago.

Romney, too, is picking up the pace.

He is campaigning today in Reno, Nev., and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, before a three-stop swing in Ohio on Thursday.

"His is a status quo candidacy," Romney said of Obama as he teamed with running mate Paul Ryan in Henderson, Nev., on Tuesday. Thousands gathered at Red Rocks to hear him, although the sound system made him sound distant.

A swell of public polling showed an up-for-grabs race.

The Obama campaign had clearly heard the complaint that Obama, after more than a year of speeches, had failed to articulate his second-term vision. Obama's team produced a 20-page booklet outlining his proposals and promised to distribute millions of copies. Obama himself held it up at two speeches.

In the closing phase, Obama is trying to capitalize on polls that show voters see the president as more trustworthy than Romney. The president has spiced his rhetoric with humor to temper his underlying charge — that Romney is lying about

the map, but it speaks to something important — it speaks of trust. Trust matters. You want to know that the person who’s applying to be your president and commander in chief is trustworthy and that he means what he says.

— President Barack Obama

what he would do as president.

"We joke about Gov. Romney being all over the map, but it speaks to something important — it speaks of trust," Obama said in Dayton, Ohio.

"Trust matters. You want to know that the person who's applying to be your president and commander in chief is trustworthy, that he means what he says."

With Obama holding an edge in the uncontested states, Romney must win more of the battlegrounds to reach the minimum 270 electoral votes for the presidency. Those states are Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and New Hampshire.

All of them will be drawing enormous personal attention from Romney and Obama, their wives, their running mates and other surrogates through Nov. 6.

In those states, Romney and Obama have both focused on critical demographics — particularly female voters. Polls show more women backing Romney in recent weeks. But Romney could face some trouble over comments from Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who in a Tuesday night debate said that

when a woman is impregnated during a rape, "it's something God intended."

Romney's campaign said late Tuesday that he "disagrees" with Mourdock but wouldn't say whether the campaign would ask him to stop airing a TV ad that Romney cut for Mourdock earlier this week.

Two months ago, embattled Missouri GOP Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin said during a TV interview that women's bodies have ways of preventing pregnancy in cases of what he called "legitimate rape."

Since his comment, Akin has apologized repeatedly but has refused to leave the race despite calls to do so by leaders of his own party, including Romney.

From the Romney campaign, aides to Ryan were casting his speech today at Cleveland State University as a significant pitch.

He was to argue that Americans stuck in poverty cannot afford four more years like the past four.

Ryan also planned to tell voters that Romney offers a better pathway for lowincome Americans to improve their lives through opportunity and upward mobility, including school choice and public-private partnerships.

Officials find problems at pharmacy

By JAY LINDSAY Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) — Water from a leaking boiler collected just outside a room that was supposed to be sterile. Floor mats used by technicians were filled with dirt and debris.

Drugs were shipped out before the company even confirmed they were sterile.

State officials said Tuesday that they found these and other problems at the New England Compounding Center during a preliminary investigation into the company, linked to a deadly outbreak of meningitis.

The probe can’t yet conclusively prove what caused the outbreak, a top health official said. In the meantime, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said he wants to tighten oversight at similar companies, including with surprise inspections — the first of which happened Tuesday.

The state has also moved to permanently revoke the company’s operating license, as well as the licenses of its top three pharmacists.

“Those whose laboratory practices caused this

outbreak should never practice pharmacy or manufacture in Massachusetts again,” Patrick said.

The outbreak of fungal meningitis, an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord, has sickened 308 people, including 23 who have died, in 17 states. The outbreak has been linked to a steroid made by the NECC and taken mainly for back pain. Compounding pharmacies like NECC custom mix solutions in doses or forms generally not commercially available.

After discussing the types of allergies that can afflict dogs, we will discuss how to diagnose and treat those allergies.

The first thing that needs to be determined is how old the dog was when the itching started and what parts of the body the dog is itching. It is also important to know what times of the year the dog is itchy. We then rule out external causes of itching such as fleas, mites and fungus. We can do this with skin scrapings, skin cytology and hair cultures.

Flea allergy is the easiest to diagnose because it will only be present if there is a history of fleas on the dog and is local ized to above the tail head and around the rectum.

Contact allergy is also easy to diagnose since the irritation is very localized to the areas of the body that contact the allergen.

Atopy and Food allergies are harder to diagnose because of the similarity in the times of the year that they itch and the distribution of the lesions. Atopy dogs that have itching all year will show allergic reactions to dust mites in the house and therefore mimic food allergies. Food allergies do tend to involve the face more than inhaled allergies. Since these two are so similar in appearance, your vet may ask you to try a food trial to see if this helps their condition. Most food trials require weeks to months to notice a difference in the itch. As I mentioned in the previous article, many dogs will have a com bination of these two allergies and just eliminating the food allergy may help lower the atopy itch to a manageable level.

There are several hypoallergenic diets made just for food allergy dogs.

In the third article of this series, I will explain why steroids are not the “cure” for all itchy dogs.

Opinion

Romney calls for bigger navy, stronger army Monday night’s debate should have given most Americans comfort. It revealed that Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are on the same page on foreign policy.

Perhaps there was a little edge to the words, but the president made the point when he looked straight at Romney and said, “you will say the same things that we do, only you will say them louder.”

Both said they would not stay in Afghanistan past 2014; both said they would not use the U.S. military in Syria; both said Israel is America’s most important ally in the Middle East; both are committed to preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons; both support the use of drones to go after terrorists, and both consider Pakistan an important player in the struggle against Muslim extremists that we must keep as an ally.

The biggest difference between the two is over the amount they would spend on the military. Romney has pledged to increase the size of the U.S. Navy and to beef up the Army as well. He would increase military spending by about $2 trillion over the next 10 years. President Obama would use the money no longer needed to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and spend it on U.S. infrastructure.

Romney defended his pledge to spend much more on the military, balance the budget and pay down the national debt while slashing income taxes 20 percent across the board by saying that spending would be offset by unspecified budget reductions.

The president responded by saying that the math doesn’t work.

It may also be that the American people are not ready to send still more money to the Pentagon while spending on Medicare, Social Security, highways, renewable energy, the scientific research which

generates the high tech jobs fundamental to the nation’s wealth, and a long, long list of other domestic needs is reduced.

AN OBSERVER from some forgotten Pacific island would call Monday night’s hour-anda-half quarrel a tie. Both kept their tempers. Romney demonstrated he had done his homework on international affairs.

The president made it clear that much of his time has been devoted to leading the most powerful nation on earth and keeping our alliances with other free nations strong.

That same observer would also notice the two men have different goals for the next four years.

Mitt Romney believes the Obama administration has been a weak leader on the world stage. If elected, he promises to be more assertive. To demand more from America’s allies and be tougher on America’s enemies. As president Romney would be determined to keep the U. S. of A. number one in the world, and he is willing to ratchet up U.S. military spending still higher to make his point.

President Obama’s second term, if he wins it on Nov. 6, would be devoted to America’s own back yard. He repeatedly says that “America’s nationbuilding should start right here at home.” He recognizes that the U.S. must continue to be a world leader and respond when crises occur. He understands that our interests are worldwide and must be defended. He is devoted to helping democracies grow and flourish around the world. But he also is keenly aware that our nation has domestic issues that must be addressed and deserve priority.

The American people will decide between these national agendas when they cast their ballots 13 days from now.

— Emerson Lynn, jr.

Few differences on foreign policy WASHINGTON — Tell us, President Obama, about your foreign policy.

“We’ve got to make sure that we reduce our deficit ... by cutting out spending we don’t need but also asking the wealthiest to pay a little bit more. That way we can invest in the research and technology that’s always kept us at the cutting edge.”

Thank you, Mr. President.

And your foreign policy, Governor Romney?

“I know what it takes to create 12 million new jobs and rising take-home pay. ... We’re going to do it by taking full advantage of oil, coal, gas, nuclear and our renewables.”

Obama spoke of the domestic auto industry. Romney spoke of teachers unions. Obama spoke of education funding. Romney spoke of small businesses.

Obama spoke of tax deductions.

Romney spoke of Medicaid.

“Let me get back to foreign policy,” moderator Bob Schieffer proposed at one point during the exchange. It was, after all, supposed to be the all-foreign-policy debate, 90 minutes chock full of international affairs.

“Well — “ Romney protested.

“Can I just get back —” the courtly Schieffer persisted.

“Well, I need to speak a mo-

Views of another Kansas editor The Wichita Eagle (Listen to Kansas Speaks)

Legislators and Gov. Sam Brownback ought to spend some time with the 2012 Kansas Speaks survey, which finds Kansans happier with their state than with their state government.

The Docking Institute of Public Affairs at Fort Hays State University has released the scientific survey of what Kansans think about important issues annually since 2009. In a state in which publicly available scientific polling is scant, the survey offers an instructive take on where Kansans stand.

This year’s feedback from a survey of 928 Kansans, as previewed in an insert in the Sunday Eagle, sends a conflicting message about state spending, with half of Kansans wanting to see it decreased overall but significant support for increasing funding for specific priorities. State leaders will need to reconcile the two views, while dealing with the revenue shortfalls forecast as the new income-tax cuts kick in.

Among the interesting findings: — 86.7 percent of Kansans view the state as a good or better place to live, while nearly 60 percent take a dim view of their state government.

— About as many (40 percent) are satisfied as dissatisfied with Brownback’s performance, though a sizable 27.5 percent are very dissatisfied.

— 30 percent are satisfied by the Legislature’s performance — no surprise given the session’s fights over

This year’s feedback ... sends a conflicting message about state spending, with half of Kansans wanting to see it decreased overall but significant support for increasing funding for specific priorities. State leaders will need to reconcile the two views, while dealing with the revenue shortfalls forecast as the new income-tax cuts kick in. redistricting, tax cuts and more.

— 37 percent are satisfied with the efforts of the governor and GOP legislative leaders to help the economy — part of what the survey’s authors see as underwhelming support for the huge income-tax cuts.

Most instructive is what the survey says Kansans want going forward: — Nearly 58 percent want increased funding for K-12 schools (about the same as last year), and only 8 percent want to see schools cut.

— 47 percent want to see more money for social services, while 35.3 percent call for better funding of higher education.

— Nearly 50 percent consider it extremely important to devote resources to developing wind energy — less than last year but still strong support at odds with the push by Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Wichita, and others to end tax incentives for wind.

The taxation numbers should give state leaders further food for thought.

Support is strong (52.2 percent) for cutting property taxes, with less interest in cutting income

taxes (34.7 percent) and sales tax (30.3 percent). Given that property taxes remain the taxes Kansans love to hate, it will be tragic if the income-tax cuts at the state level force school districts, cities and counties to raise property taxes. But Brownback and lawmakers could find justification in the survey for deciding not to reduce the statewide sales-tax rate next summer after all; 48 percent say it should remain as is.

Surprisingly for this fiscally conservative state, 55.8 and 57.7 percent favor raising taxes on top earners and large corporations, respectively, while 51.5 percent think taxes should be cut for small businesses.

It’s sobering that for three years running, about 70 percent of Kansans have been moderately or very concerned that the economy will threaten their family’s welfare.

More than just about anything, Kansans want things to get better. Though that remains a tall order, dependent on both the national election results and the global economy, state leaders should take Kansans’ wish as their command.

Dana Milbank

The repeated efforts by both men to return to domestic disputes made clear their acceptance that the contest, now a dead heat, is not about the world.

Washington Post Writers Group ment if you’ll let me, Bob, just about education.”

Schieffer surrendered. “OK.” There was a problem with having this last of three presidential debates focus on the candidates’ clashing worldviews. For all the smoke and heat, there isn’t much difference between the Obama and Romney foreign policies in most key areas.

On Israel: “I want to underscore the same point the president made, which is that if I’m president of the United States, when I’m president of the United States, we will stand with Israel,” Romney said, concurring with Obama.

On opposing Hosni Mubarak in Egypt: “I felt the same as the president did,” Romney affirmed.

On drone warfare: “I support that entirely and feel the president was right to up the usage of that technology,” the challenger asserted.

Obama, in turn, was pleased to observe that “Governor Romney agrees with the steps that we’re taking” on Iran.

This is not to say they didn’t quarrel about matters overseas.

There is such a palpable dislike between Romney and Obama, and they are locked in such a tight race, that they could fill 90 minutes bickering about the weather.

Obama was the more aggressive candidate Monday night, glaring at his opponent. “You seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s.”

The president suggested that “every time you’ve offered an opinion, you’ve been wrong,” and chided Romney for regarding military spending as a “game of ‘Battleship’” because of the Republican’s criticism that the Navy has fewer ships than it had in 1916. “Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets,” the president needled.

Romney’s approach was more

of a balance: He had the head of a neocon (many of his advisers are hawkish veterans of the BushCheney years) but the body of a realist on foreign policy. At one point he would give a chestthumping lecture about how “it’s essential for a president to show strength from the very beginning,” but would then get to a reality with more nuance: “I don’t want to have our military involved in — in Syria ... at this stage.”

Romney embraced the neocon view of bending the world to American wishes, creating “civil societies” and promising to show Russia’s Vladimir Putin “more backbone.”

But the repeated efforts by both men to return to domestic disputes made clear their acceptance that the contest, now a dead heat, is not about the world.

Romney informed viewers about his college scholarship program in Massachusetts.

“That happened before you came into office,” Obama retorted.

“That was actually mine,” Romney insisted.

“I want to try to shift it,” Schieffer pleaded, “because we have heard some of this in the other debates.”

Viewers would hear it again on Monday night. Romney spoke of his balanced budgets in Massachusetts. Obama complained about Romney’s faulty budget math and accused him of undermining the auto industry.

“I was born in Detroit,” Romney protested. “My dad was head of a car company. I like American cars.” The car lover then shifted topics — back to education. “I love teachers,” he said. “I was a governor. The federal government didn’t hire our teachers. But I love teachers.”

The thwarted Schieffer brought the foreign policy debate to a close. “I think we all love teachers,” he said.

Ex-CIA pleads guilty to revealing identity WASHINGTON — A veteran former CIA officer pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., to disclosing information identifying a covert agent.

Under terms of a plea agreement with prosecutors, he is to be sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

John C. Kiriakou, a CIA officer from 1990 to 2004, was arrested in January and charged in April with unmasking a 20-year covert agent to a Washington journalist who then shared that information with defense lawyers for terrorist detainees at the U.S. naval base on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, authorities said.

Other charges of disclosing to two journalists the name and contact information for a CIA analyst and his undercover work in trying to capture al-Qaida leader Abu Zubaydah were dropped in return for the guilty plea.

Kiriakou, 48, held a topsecret security clearance and had regular access to national defense information. Over the years he repeatedly signed secrecy agreements and acknowledged that should he reveal certain sensitive information it could “constitute a criminal offense.”

James W. McJunkin, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington field office, called Kiriakou’s actions “a clear violation of the law.”

CIA Director David H. Petraeus said the Kiriakou case is the first successful prosecution in 27 years un-

der the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. “Oaths do matter,” he said in a statement. “And there are indeed consequences for those who believe they are above the laws that protect our fellow officers and enable American intelligence agencies to operate with the requisite degree of secrecy.”

Clark was certified as a law enforcement officer in Kansas and Colorado, but “since I’ve been out of law enforcement more than five years I’d have to take a written test. If I passed, I’d be recertified.”

He attended Iola schools and graduated from Iola High in 1974.

While in high school, he kept busy with odd jobs, working on the family farm, carrying out groceries at Iola IGA and working after school at Wichman Ford.

Law enforcement interested Clark and by the time he was 19 he had a job directing traffic for the Denver Police Department — “I wasn’t old enough for regular patrol duty,” which had a minimum age of 21.

Clark moved to Denver because it was the hometown of his wife, Gladys.

“That was after my uncle, Glen Cooper, died,” he said, allowing that he would have returned sooner but nepotism prevented him from taking a job with the county as long as Cooper was sheriff. Jim Setter, Cooper’s undersheriff, took over and hired Clark,

a job that was short-lived because Setter was defeated in the next year’s election.

Subsequently he was an Iola officer, spent time with the Burlington, Colo., force, when he and Gladys decided to return closer to her family, and then returned again to this area to be a deputy when Setter was sheriff in Neosho County. His last law enforcement experiences were with Humboldt (198588) and Iola (1988-96), before buying a truck to haul grain and oil.

More recently he has occupied himself with farming.

He and wife Gladys have four grown children and 12 grandchildren.

BioWatch technology couldn’t detect germs

By DAVID WILLMAN Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — For two years, the nationwide BioWatch system, intended to protect Americans against a biological attack, operated with defective components that left it unable to detect lethal germs, according to scientists with direct knowledge of the matter.

The federal official who oversaw installation of the components was quietly shifted to a position with no responsibility for BioWatch, and the entire episode was kept out of public view.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which oversees BioWatch, opened an internal investigation, whose status remains confidential.

In more than 30 cities, BioWatch samplers located atop buildings, in train stations and in other public places suck air

through dry filters around the clock. Once a day, the filters are taken to public health laboratories to be analyzed for traces of smallpox, anthrax, plague and other pathogens.

Lab technicians extract genetic material from the filters and then use kits, called assays, to release fluorescent dyes into it.

When a laser is shined through the mixture, the dyes are supposed to light up if one of the pathogens targeted by BioWatch is present.

The labs originally used a series of separate assays, each designed to detect a specific germ. In 2007, Homeland Security equipped most of the labs with new kits intended to screen for multiple pathogens at the same time.

The aim was to reduce personnel costs and enable faster detection of a biological attack, and thus a speedier response.

But the new compo-

nents, called “multiplex” assays, triggered false alarms, a recurring problem with BioWatch since the system was put into operation nationwide in 2003.

After scientists at many of the labs voiced concerns, Homeland Security officials, in consultation with microbiologists from other federal agencies, ordered testing of the new assays.

The tests, conducted in secrecy at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, found that the kits were unsuitable for BioWatch, scientists familiar with the matter said. They spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the information.

The multiplex assays could not distinguish between the bacterium that causes tularemia, a poten-

tially deadly condition also known as rabbit fever, and similar but benign organisms called “near neighbors” that are abundant in outdoor environments.

The original assays had exhibited the same problem. But the multiplex assays had an additional shortcoming, scientists said: They were found to be far less sensitive to the presence of actual pathogens than Homeland Security officials had presumed.

In late 2009, Homeland Security officials removed the new assays and returned to using kits that searched for pathogens one at a time.

Peter Boogaard, a Homeland Security spokesman, declined to respond to written questions about the matter. Jeffrey Stiefel, the department official responsible for installing the ill-fated assays, said he was not authorized to comment.

Another reason Murphy cited the importance of narcotics enforcement was due to the fact that drug use contributes to many other aspects of crime in our communities.

After Kiriakou left the CIA, he spoke on television describing the water-boarding interrogation technique used to persuade suspects to divulge details about evolving terrorist plots, and began working on a book called “The Reluctant Spy: My Secret Life in the CIA’s War on Terror,” which was published this year.

According to an 11-page statement of facts signed by Kiriakou and filed in court with his plea agreement, he revealed the identity of the covert agent and the analyst in separate emails to two journalists who were seeking the names.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando Police said Tuesday that the vehicle used in last week's deadly shooting at a Casselberry, Fla., beauty salon belonged to a man found dead inside a Gatlin Avenue condominium late Friday.

Roberto Carlos Colon, 28, was found dead in his unit at the Venetian Place condominiums after police received a call to check on his wellbeing, said Sgt. Vincent Ogburn, a police spokesman.

Colon's car was the vehicle Bradford Baumet used Thursday when he drove to Las Dominicanas M&M Salon and opened fire on the women inside, killing three

and wounding his estranged girlfriend.

Baumet killed himself at a Winter Park home shortly after.

The shooting stemmed from a domestic dispute between Baumet and his ex-girlfriend and salon co-owner Marcia Santiago, which led to several violent encounters and a domestic injunction that was filed the week before the shooting.

Detectives do not know how Colon was connected to Baumet, but they are continuing to investigate.

Ogburn would not say how Colon was killed.

Neighbors and police told the Orlando Sentinel that Colon moved into the unit recently and may have been looking for work.

dyed his beard with juice

By CAROL ROSENBERG The Miami Herald

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — The alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, used improvised prison camp products — berries and breakfast juice, not storebought henna — to dye his white beard red for this year's war court appearances, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday.

How the self-described former chief of al-Qaida operations reddened his beard for his May arraignment and again at last week's hearing had been a five-month mystery.

His lawyers are under a prison camp gag order and the detention center is especially secretive about what goes on in Camp 7, Guanta-

namo's clandestine prison for former CIA captives.

Tuesday, Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale said in response to a five-month-old question that Mohammed "did craft his own natural means" inside the prison camps to concoct his selfstyled beard dye.

“I don't have his exact procedure,” Breasseale said, “but can confirm the use of at least berries and juice to create a kind of harmless dye.” Mohammed got to Guantanamo in 2006 after 183 rounds of CIA water boarding and boasted that he planned the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, “from A to Z.” He and four alleged accomplices face a death penalty prosecution as organizers, funders and trainers of the 9/11 hijackers.

Tigers, Giants set to clash in ’12 Fall Classic

Sports

Pregame outlook

By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The World Series starts in San Francisco because the All-Star game was a Giant blowout. Pablo Sandoval, Matt Cain and Melky Cabrera made sure of it.

“I don’t think you really think about it that much,” Cain said, “but it is kind of cool when you do.”

Cain pitched two shutout innings, Sandoval connected off Detroit’s Justin Verlander for the first bases-loaded triple in All-Star history and Cabrera hit a two-run home run in the NL’s 8-0 rout on that July night at Kansas City’s Kauffman Stadium.

Prince Fielder of the Detroit Tigers makes a throw during a workout Tuesday, the day before the start of the World Series between the Tigers and the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park.

Since 2003, the All-Star-winning league has gained homefield advantage for the World Series. The Giants host the Tigers in the opener tonight.

“When you go to the All-Star game, you have to take that thing serious,” Sandoval said. “That’s what we do. Cain, our guys, do our thing to try to bring this to the National League.”

Verlander, the first pitcher in 19 years to sweep the Cy Young Award and MVP, admitted he didn’t treat that start like a normal outing. That’s part of the reason he’ll be starting the Series opener at AT&T Park instead of at his own Comerica Park.

“Do I wish it would have worked out a little bit better and we’d be at home right now?” he said Tuesday. “Absolutely, but it didn’t, and we’re here.”

Verlander allowed five runs and four hits in a 35-pitch first inning. He threw five pitches clocked at 100 mph and another at 101.

“But I had fun,” he said then.

“That’s why I don’t try to throw 100 in the first inning. But this is for the fans. It doesn’t usually work out too well for me.”

He has a slightly different take now.

“Normally I’m not just pitching one inning, two innings at the most,” he said. “I treated it almost like I was coming out of See WORLD SERIES | Page B2

Mustangs eye perfect league mark in finale

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

A 2012 football campaign in which Iola claimed a title in the team’s inaugural season as part of the Pioneer League will come to a conclusion, win or lose, Thursday evening in Garnett.

The Mustangs, while eliminated for postseason play on the heels of losses to Chanute and Fort Scott, still have plenty to play for, head coach Doug Kerr said.

“We have a lot of team goals within reach, and we have a number of players with personal goals they want to accomplish.”

Notably, a win Thursday at Anderson County High would complete an undefeated run through the Pioneer League.

“And a win would be important, because Anderson County was one of the schools picked ahead of us in the preseason poll,” Kerr said. “Going undefeated is big for us.”

To do so, the Mustangs must

Crest standout hopes for title run

By RICHARD LUKEN richard@iolaregister.com

COLONY — A crowd much too large for the Spartan set of bleachers at Crest High School’s football field will return Thursday evening, with a full-throated cheer for the Lancers as they wrap up the 2012 regular season.

At halftime, senior athletes in football and other sports will be honored, including Kyle Hammond, a four-year standout for the Lancers. Hammond will play in front of the home crowd, perhaps for the final time ever, when Crest hosts Tyro Christian. Kickoff is at 7 o’clock.

“It hit me the other morning as I was walking around the track,” Hammond said. “This might be it. These four years have gone by fast.”

Crest is assured of a playoff berth, regardless of Thursday’s outcome, but will open the playoffs on the road.

Where they play, or against whom, doesn’t matter much, Hammond said.

To reach the ultimate goal — a state championship — he figures Crest will have to go through a collection of the state’s toughest eight-man football teams along the way.

They already have, in many aspects, with a bruising earlyseason schedule featuring eightman powers Marmaton Valley, Waverly and St. Paul — who are a combined 23-1 on the season.

In all three games, Crest held a lead or were within striking distance in the games’ final moments.

Much of the Lancers’ success lies at the feet — and hands — of the 6-2, 205-pound Hammond, who starts at running back, but frequently is called on as quarter-

KU’s Self open to funds for athletes

IN THE summer of 2009, observers expected the Lancers to take a step back from past success on the gridiron.

The Lancers had lost a talented senior class, including multisport stalwarts Todd Johnston and Brandon Newton.

Head coach Brent Smith knew better.

He was already aware of Hammond’s athletic prowess after watching him perform for Crest

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas basketball coach Bill Self says he is no longer opposed to providing student-athletes with some form of financial allowance beyond the usual parameters of schol- Bill Self arships.

“I used to be totally against it,” Self said. “I used to be totally against doing anything other than room, board, books, tuition and fees. But I’ve changed. And the landscape has changed also. It was always big business; now it’s huge business.”

Self said he began noticing a disconnect during the NCAA tournaments when revenue for television and the NCAA piled up, but players’ parents had to spend money to follow their kids to different sites, The Kansas City Star reported Tuesday.

He estimated that when Kansas advanced to the NCAA title game this year some of his players’ families spent as much as $10,000 to travel to the team’s three tournament sites.

“And when you’re sending players from the West Coast to East Coast to play sports, to miss more classes, and the schools benefit from that finan-

Despite minimal actions in some contests — many Crest games end at halftime because their lead is so large — Hammond may have saved his best for last, rushing for 1,400 yards and passing for 600 more.

“I just want to win,” Hammond said. “Coach does, too. We’re both competitive like that. I’ll play anywhere he wants me to.”

His running style is best described as patiently and deceptively fast and prominently strong.

While he’s always looking for an opening, Hammond is more than willing to take on would-be tacklers, particularly if the first-

the bullpen, knowing I could go one or two innings.

It was just a different scenario altogether.”

Barry Zito, the 2002 AL Cy Young winner, starts for San Francisco after being bypassed for the postseason two years ago when the Giants won their first title since 1954 — before the franchise left New York.

Seeking its first championship since 1984, Detroit is back in the Series for the first time since 2006.

Once again, the Tigers have had nearly a week off after winning the pennant. Last time, their rust showed and they lost to St. Louis in five games.

This time they stayed busy by working on bunts, playing against their instructional league team and letting Verlander throw to hitters.

“Well, we just tried to come up with something,” manager Jim Leyland said. “It wasn’t like in 2006, where some people would indicate we sat around happy to get there, not doing anything, eating bon-bons.”

“That wasn’t the case. We ran into bad weather problems in Detroit, so we were really handicapped,” the manager said. “So this time we’ve done some things to try to keep us from being idle for four or five days. I definitely think it affected the last World Series.”

Detroit swept the Yankees in the AL championship series while San Francisco overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Cardinals. That

followed a historic division series in which they lost the first two games at home against Cincinnati and then became the first ma-

jor league team in a best-offive series to rebound from an 0-2 deficit by winning three in a row on the road.

you notice,” he said. “Iola has a lot of talented backs and receivers.”

Aside from assorted bumps and bruises, Iola is relatively injury-free.

That’s not the case for Anderson County.

Hilliard said the Bulldogs are down three starters, including some who play both offense and defense

THE SEASON finale, as is custom in Kansas high school football, comes on a Thursday, necessary to squeeze an extra round of playoffs into the postseason calendar.

Losing the day of practice requires coaches and players to focus more in the film room and on the practice field.

“We treat Monday as if it’s Tuesday, Tuesday as if it’s Wednesday” and so on,

Kerr said. “We have to lean on the players to make up the gap when it comes to preparation.”

IOLA AND Anderson County have had similar seasons in some aspects.

Both are newcomers to the Pioneer League. Both also had early season success before struggling against Chanute and Fort Scott once Kansas Class 4A, District 6 play began.

Both are 0-2 in district play. A win will bring more than pride, both coaches said.

“It’s big for us,” Kerr said. ‘We want to maintain the excitement we built up early in the season.”

“It’s important for us to play well,” Hilliard said.

“Iola is good enough that you have to play well if you want to come away with a win.”

scathed despite taking a weekly pounding on the football field, and by deploying the same blue-collar approach to the basketball court.

As a fresman, he suffered a hip injury while running track and field that cut short his year. He went out for track as a sophomore, “but I was having the same issues, so I had to give it up,” he said.

to Kiowa to take on South Barber to open the Kansas Eight-Man playoffs.

Smith and Hammond emphasized Crest’s teamwork approach, noting the Lancers are more than a oneman show.

“None of this is possible without a heck of an offensive line and great teammates,” Hammond said.

Smith agreed, citing the leadership of Hammond and his other upperclassmen, such as linemen Jesse Boone and Clayton Miller, Landon Stephens, Brock Ellis, Clayton Miller, fullback Dylan Sedlak and quarterback Jordan Morton.

“Jesse, Kyle and Jordan all came in as freshmen, and they’ve shown our younger players how to prepare,” Smith said. “Our sophomores and freshmen are ready to step up.”

AND WHEN football season ends, Hammond will join many of his same teammates on the basketball court. The Lancers are defending substate champs in basketball, too.

“We’ve got a good team coming back. Basketball season should be fun,” Hammond said, “as long as we win.”

after those teams faced Anderson County. As a result, Iola already has seen the Bulldogs plenty of times in the film room before this week.

Anderson County will give the Mustangs plenty to brace for, Kerr said.

“They’ve run a spread option at times, and there were other occasions where they ran more of an option offense,” Kerr said.

Likewise, the Bulldogs have altered their defensive approach, depending on their opponents’ offensive game plans.

“They ran a 3-4 against Chanute, and a 6-3 defense against Fort Scott,” Kerr said. “I imagine we’ll be a little vanilla on offense until we see what kind of defense we’re dealing with.”

success will hinge on the team’s ability to control the clock, Bulldog head coach Don Hilliard said.

“We’re gonna have to be able to run the ball,” Hilliard said. “That’s one of our keys every week. If you run the ball well, the opposing team doesn’t get possession.

Senior running back Weston Gilbreth will be a key performer for the Bulldogs, as will Zach Hilliard — the coach’s son — and Joey Read.

“Cale Hedges is among the players who has been banged up,” Hilliard said.

“We hope to get him back.”

Likewise, Anderson County must be assignment-sound and avoid keying on one or two players when the Mustangs have the ball, Hilliard said.

“That’s one of the things

H Hammond Middle School.

“One day Kyle came up to me and was asking about the team’s makeup,” Smith recalled. “He was asking who the starting quarterback was going to be. I told him to look in the mirror.”

Hammond suited up as quarterback, rushing for 186 yards and four touchdowns in his high school debut. Alas, he rushed for only 33 yards in his second game — because he carried the ball only eight times.

In those eight carries, he scored three touchdowns in another blowout win.

“Coming in as a freshman is always tough. I don’t care what sport you’re in,” Smith said. “And coming in as a quarterback when you’ve never played the position before is even tougher. But Kyle was up to the challenge.”

Hammond admitted that running back, not quarterback, is his favorite position.

But he relishes the opportunity to help when and where asked. He’s among the team leaders in tackles as a linebacker, he’s usually the one called on to return kicks and punts, and he’s even been asked on occa-

early on he had a competitive streak, be it on the football field, basketball court or even board games.

“If you play me in anything, you better be ready to have to work for the win,” he said with a laugh.

Hammond can point to his parents as influences.

His father, Chad, was a star fullback on Lancer playoff teams in the early 1990s, and often works with his son on deciding offseason workout regimens. Hammond’s mother, Brenna, also played volleyball and basketball for Crest.

Ironically enough, Hammond has remained un-

HAMMOND’S drive extends beyond the athletic realm.

He maintains a perfect 4.0 grade point average, and recently received notice of a state academic honor.

“I can’t remember what it was,” he said sheepishly.

“But I got to meet the governor.”

Colleges have taken notice. Defending NCAA Division II football champion Pittsburg State University sent recruiters to Colony to visit. Hammond also has fielded letters from area community colleges and is hoping other recruiters are to follow.

away because it could work in either team’s favor,” Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford said. “We’ve been playing every day, so guys might be a little more tired, whereas they’ve got more rest. Then again, we’ve been playing, so we’ve got our timing, where they might not.”

And this little fact: Three times in the past, the World Series has matched a team that went to Game 7 in the LCS against a club that swept its series. In all three instances, the team coming off a Game 7 win breezed: Boston swept Colorado in 2007, St. Louis topped the Ti-

gers in 2006 and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat Oakland in five games in 1988.

“We’re fine. I think we’re in the groove and feeling good,” Cain said.

Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera was a rookie with the Marlins in 2003 when they rallied past the Chicago Cubs to win the seven-game NLCS and went on to beat the Yankees in six games for the title.

This time, the Tigers gave themselves five off days.

“We can’t focus on, ‘OK we haven’t played, we’re going to get down,’” Cabrera said.

“It’s tough. We have to be ready to play tomorrow and we’ll see what happens.”

cially, why shouldn’t the people that are responsible for the business, and that would be the studentathletes,” Self said.

Last October, the NCAA passed legislation to provide scholarship athletes an additional $2,000 annually. The legislation was put on hold months later when schools expressed concern about the financial burden.

“Even if it’s to the point where the NCAA paid for the parents of student athletes to attend bowl games (or) paid for the parents of student athletes to attend an NCAA game,” Self

said. “There’s so many things you can do.”

Other college coaches who have expressed concern with the current model include Texas football coach Mack Brown and Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari.

“The decisions they make on the $2,000 (expense allowance for studentathletes) — it should have been $4,000,” Calipari told The Sporting News. “It’s a stipend. It’s not salary.

It’s not ‘pay-for-play.’ It’s a stipend. It’s expenses. And then schools vote against it. All this stuff piles up to where people are going to say, ‘Enough’s enough.’”

Kansas in brief Man charged in Neb. crash headed for trial

LEXINGTON, Neb. (AP) — The case against a Kansas man charged in a deadly crash in Nebraska has been sent to Dawson County District Court for trial.

Twenty-two-year-old Destry Swartz, Coats, Kan., was charged with motor vehicular homicide, operating a vehicle to avoid arrest and driving under the influence of alcohol in the Oct. 8 death of 68-year-old Ruben Maravilla-Cortes, Lexington.

Authorities say Swartz was being chased by a state trooper for running a stop sign when he ran red light at an intersection and hit MaravillaCortes’ vehicle.

Swartz waived his preliminary hearing in county court on Monday.

He remains in the Dawson County jail on $500,000 bond.

Three more charged in woman’s death

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Three more people have been charged in connection with last week’s killing of a Topeka woman.

Ashley Alcala, a 34-yearold mother of two, died after being found severely injured in her home last Thursday. Her husband, Manuel Campos Alcala, is being held on $1 million bond on charges of firstdegree murder and conspiracy.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports two 19-year-old men and a 58-year-old woman from Texas have now been charged with felony first-degree murder and conspiracy in the death.

They’re being held in El Paso County, Texas, on other charges.

The charge of felony first-degree murder applies to murders committed during some other, dangerous felony. Authorities have not disclosed the alleged un-

derlying felony against the three new suspects.

Chief judge named for Court of Appeals

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Judge Thomas Malone is the new chief judge of the Kansas Court of Appeals.

The Kansas Supreme Court announced Tuesday that Malone will replace Chief Judge Richard Greene, who died Oct. 7.

Malone has been acting chief judge since Greene became ill during the summer.

Malone has served on the Court of Appeals since 2003. He practiced law in private practice in Wichita from 1979 through 1990, when he also taught business law courses at Newman University.

He was elected district judge in Sedgwick County in 1990, serving for 12 years before joining the Court of Appeals.

There are 13 members of the Court of Appeals. Ap-

plications are being taken to replace Greene. In addition, Judge Christel Marquardt retires in 2013.

Fort’s virtual training system to be shown

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (AP) — A new virtual training system to prepare soldiers for combat will be demonstrated Thursday at Fort Leavenworth.

The Dismounted Soldier Training System uses helmet-mounted screens that show soldiers what they could face on combat patrols in various settings.

Noises such as gunfire are delivered through speakers in the helmet.

The Army says the system gives soldiers a 360-degree view of the battlefield and the location of other soldiers, letting them train to perform their tasks in a safe environment. During the exercises, they carry the weapons they would use in combat.

Kansas GOP, unaffiliated voter registration up TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The ranks of Republican and unaffiliated voters are growing in Kansas, while the number of registered Democrats has fallen dramatically since 2008, according to the secretary of state’s office.

Republicans hold all statewide elected offices, both U.S. Senate seats and all four U.S. House seats, as well as majorities of both houses of the Kansas Legislature.

There are now 439,639 Democrats registered in the state, a drop of more than 45,000 since the 2008 election. Democrats make up just over 25 percent of the state’s registered voters.

State Democratic Party leaders recognize the predicament they face in drawing supporters and getting their candidates elected.

“It’s troubling to see we are losing Democrats,”

“

It’s troubling to see we are losing Democrats.

As far as I’m concerned, the bottom line is who votes Democratic in November.

— Joan Wagnon, chairwoman of the Kansas Democratic Party

said Joan Wagnon, chairwoman of the Kansas Democratic Party. “As far as I’m concerned, the bottom line is who votes Democratic in November.”

Republican registrations increased by over 11,000 to 782,161 people — that’s nearly 45 percent of the state’s voter totals. Unaffiliated registrations reached 508,204, an increase of more than

25,000 since 2008. Unaffiliated voters now make up 29 percent of the state’s voters. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported Libertarian registrations also increased by more than 1,000 people to 10,828 members.

Amanda Adkins, chairwoman of the Kansas Republican Party, said the move to increase GOP registration figures has been building for the past four years.

“We never stopped growing and improving the data-driven, grassroots campaign system,” Adkins said.

Wagnon said the Republican numbers were skewed by the fact that 6,000 Democrats switched party affiliation to vote in the August GOP primary.

She said some of those residents switched allegiance so they could vote in Kansas Senate races between moderate incumbents and

conservative challengers.

The Kansas Republican Party requires primary voters to register with the party to participate in the election, while Democrats allow people registered with other parties or unaffiliated to vote in the primary without changing party affiliation.

“That is a huge problem for us,” Wagnon said, “with the open versus closed primary.”

Democrats are expected to discuss changing the primary requirements during a meeting in February, opting either to keep the present system or switch to the GOP approach.

Wagnon said the growth in unaffiliated voters might indicate that younger Kansas residents prefer to avoid political labels.

Barker said he hadn’t looked at the issue nor considered the reasons for a rise in unaffiliated registrations.

Pastor faces long odds in 2nd District race

By JOHN MILBURN Associated Press

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Topeka pastor Tobias Schlingensiepen is not shy about the long odds he faces in his bid to upset and defeat Republican incumbent Rep. Lynn Jenkins in the Kansas 2nd District race.

Like the other three Kansas districts, the 2nd District leans Republican and Democrats must woo independents and moderate Republicans to make the race competitive.

Schlingensiepen realizes this, but argues his lack of political experience is countered by his ability to find compromise among people with differing viewpoints.

“I think most Americans have some idea of what it’s going to take and it’s not going to be easy,” Schlingensiepen said. “But they’d like somebody to at least level with them and find the best path as opposed to just fanning the flames of gloom and despair.”

Jenkins, a two-term congresswoman from Topeka, is critical of the political process which prevents those in Washington from compromise.

“It’s taken decades to create the mess,” Jenkins said. “I’m optimistic.

We’re on the cusp of solving what’s wrong with our country.”

The 2nd District was last held by a Democrat when Nancy Boyda defeated incumbent Republican Rep.

Jim Ryun in 2006. She held on to the seat for just one term, losing to Jenkins in 2008. The district leans heavily for Republicans, though it became slightly more Democratic after the new boundaries were drawn in June.

Kansas State University political scientist Joe Aistrup said a Schlingensiepen victory is unlikely, even if it is slightly less Republican than in 2010.

“It would be tough for him even if Obama wasn’t the top of the ticket,” Aistrup said. “He creates a very stiff southerly breeze for any Democrat in the state.”

Aistrup said Schlingensiepen might do better in a legislative race even if Obama won less than 40 percent of the vote. The difficulty is the 2nd District is large, Schlingensiepen lacks the one-on-one recognition a challenger needs and he doesn’t have the resources to overcome those hurdles, Aistrup said.

“He’s an articulate guy.

He has some qualities as a candidate but since he doesn’t have much funding, it doesn’t bode well for winning,” Aistrup said.

“But if winning is defined as something north of 45 percent of the vote total, he might be able to pull it off and show that Jenkins is vulnerable.”

A confident Jenkins said the message from voters is that it’s time for Washington to back off.

“

He’s (Schlingensiepen) an articulate guy. He has some qualities as a candidate but since he doesn’t have much funding, it doesn’t bode well for winning.

— Joe Aistrup, KSU political scientist

“People want government out their business.

They all feel that government is determined to put them out of business,” she said.

Jenkins said “commonsense” regulations were necessary but many restrictions create uncertainty for businesses, especially over the national debt and taxes.

“Kansas is going to be fine if we can assure them of a few things like that,” she said.

One place to start is by repealing the health care act, Jenkins said, and replacing it with something less onerous for businesses. The pastor compares the sweeping changes to the implementation of the Medicaid and Medicare systems. He prefers a pragmatic approach of working with all parties involved in health care to smooth out any glitches.

Jenkins said the act overreaches and puts too much of a burden on small businesses to provide coverage.

She supports a GOP alternative that would replace the act and keep health

care a matter between patients and their providers, not government or insurance companies.

“I can’t go anywhere in the district where people don’t say they feel the boot of regulators pushing down on the neck of small businesses,” Jenkins said.

Schlingensiepen also made issue of Jenkins’ campaign contributions and her activities in the district. He argues that lobbyists have more access to her in Washington than constituents in the district, who he claims are often limited to “5 or 10 minutes” to meet with Jenkins.

She said that criticism implies he would deny people in banking and insurance industries in the district the chance to express their concerns. Jenkins denies she limits who can see her and for how long.

“His charges are simply not true. I believe we have the best constituent services this district has ever seen. If someone hasn’t seen me and I haven’t gotten there it’s because they haven’t asked,” Jenkins said.

Breast leakage not sign of cancer Dear Drs. Donohue and Roach: I am 32, married and

have two children, ages 5 and 3.

In the past month, I have had a pale white discharge from both breasts. I nursed both my children. Could that be a factor here? It’s been more than two years since I nursed my younger child.

The thing I fear most is cancer. Is this a sign of it? I don’t feel any breast lump. — C.N. Answer: In most instances, nipple discharge isn’t a sign of cancer. A discharge from both breasts makes a cancer threat even more remote. The kind of discharge you describe is often seen from breast manipulation and irritation. If you have started a running program, the constant rubbing of the breast against a loosely fitting bra can bring on this kind of discharge Medicines are another cause. Tagamet (cimetidine), a popular medicine for heartburn control, is an example.

Methyldopa, a blood pressure medicine, is another possible cause. Cancer does provoke

Dr. Keith Roach To Your Good Health Dr. Paul Donohue To Your Good Health

nipple discharge sometimes.

The discharge varies from clear to yellow to bloody. Cancer-related discharges most often come from only one breast. Usually the patient or the patient’s doctor also feels a lump buried in the breast.

Cancer at your age isn’t impossible, but isn’t likely. It’s something that happens more often to older women.

Your breastfeeding had nothing to do with your current discharge.

The number of conditions that cause leaky breasts is large. They include malfunctions of the pituitary gland, infections and benign (noncancerous) breast growths.

The only way to learn the true nature of your breast discharge is to pay a visit to your doctor.

Dear Drs. Donohue and Roach: I have an embarrass-

ing problem — a rectal itch. It drives me crazy. I don’t have the time to see a doctor right now. Please give me some hints on what I can do for it.

— K.K. Answer: Start by eliminating some foods that are known to cause this common complaint. Coffee, tea, colas, chocolate, citrus fruits and tomatoes are the usual suspects. For at least a full week, steer clear of all of these foods and drinks. If the itch goes away, you’ve found the answer. However, you can prove that a food is the basis for your itch by reintroducing each of the above foods, one at a time, to see if the itch returns. If it does, you’ll have positive evidence for the food link.

Tell grandma to hang up and drive Dear Carolyn: My retired mom and I go to lunch weekly (she picks me up from work). I guess I never noticed until now, but she talks on the phone a lot while driving, which makes me nervous now that I’m seven months pregnant. These aren’t quick-hello calls, but long, rambling communications. She has made wrong turns, run yellow lights and almost gotten into crashes while yakking away.

She wants to be my primary child care once the baby comes, and I think she will be a fine grandma, but how can I keep her from risking my child’s life behind the wheel? I’m sure if I try to mention it, she will claim she never talks on the phone and drives. What then? — Preggo Yikes. You have to say something — not “try to mention,” but say — no matter how sure you are that she’ll deny it. This is life and death, and not just for you and your baby, but also for her and for anyone else in those intersections.

If she denies it, hello, you’re her passenger! Often!

Insist that she hang up. If she doesn’t, then say you’re going to get out at the next red light if she doesn’t hang up.

(Assuming she brakes for it.)

Then do it.

If you see no epiphany on the car-yakking, explain that she can’t drive your child anywhere, not unless she proves she gets it by put-

ity that would help sort undecided people into doand don’t-have-kids piles, it would be . . . flexibility. If you’re comfortable with the

ting her phone in the trunk.

It has to be that simple.

You referred to people who were “in societal lockstep and had kids just as The Next Thing They Were Supposed to Do.” This really hit a chord for me.

Dear Carolyn: My husband and I have been talking about having kids for some time now. And yet that hurdle feels incredibly daunting. How do you know that you really want kids, that you’re ready to become a parent? At this point I’m finding the “you should only have kids if you want them” people almost as annoying as the “but you would be such good parents!” people.

— Lockstep?

Maybe I’ll chart some whole new territory of annoying with my answer.

If I had to pick one qual-

idea of living the life you get vs. the one you’ve always had in mind, then you have the potential to find great joy in a life with children.

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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cars that drive themselves may hold the potential to save thousands of lives, an Obama administration safety official said Tuesday, as the government prepares to launch a research initiative to determine the safety and reliability of automated driving technologies.

Automated vehicles are the next “evolutionary step� in car technology, David Strickland, head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, told an industry gathering sponsored by Swedish automaker Volvo and the Swedish Embassy in Washington. He said his agency has held extensive discussions with automakers and Google about what needs to happen before automated cars can be safely introduced to consumers. “Automated vehicles offer an important and challenging method for reducing crash risk that we believe holds great promise,� Strickland said. He noted that human error was a factor in about 90 percent of the over 33,000 traffic deaths recorded in 2010. “We have the chance of ... saving thousands and thousands of lives as� cars in use today are replaced with automated vehicles, he said.

Google is developing a fleet of automated vehicles. Most auto manufacturers are moving in that direction as well.

Three states — Nevada, Flor-

ida and California — have authorized testing of automated cars on their roads.

Legislation has been proposed in several other states and the District of Columbia.

The kinds of automated cars Google and most automakers envision eventually bringing to market involve

the driver ceding control of the vehicle to its computers — feet off the pedals and hands off the wheel — but still remaining ready to retake control if necessary, Strickland said. That means the driver would need to monitor the vehicle and what’s going on outside it.
