KANSAS UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WALK THROUGH CAMPUS between classes Wednesday on Jayhawk Boulevard. U.S. News & World Report’s university rankings, released Wednesday, showed that KU had dropped to a ranking of 106th from the previous year, when it was ranked 101st.

University: Results are not whole story

KU ranked 106th among national universities, which is down from 101st last year, and 51st among public universities, down from 46th, according to the “Best Colleges 2013” list.

KU remained ahead of Kansas State, which was 139th and 70th, but universities such as Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa State, Colorado,

— KU Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Jeff Vitter Iowa, Texas, and Texas A&M ranked higher than KU. Leaders at KU sought to downplay the results, saying there was little change in overall scoring and that the rankings are based on indica-

tors that may be several years behind.

Also, they said, KU’s Bold Aspirations plan, which is aimed at improving a key component of the rankings — graduation rates — will lead

to a higher ranking soon.

“The priorities of Bold Aspirations — such as helping students be successful in their first year so they stay on track to graduate — are important factors in U.S. News’ rankings,” said KU Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter.

“So as we make changes in those areas, not only will we be improving the success of our students today, we’ll be setting KU up for higher rankings down the road,” Vitter said.

Bigger may end up being better.

Lawrence city leaders, it appears, are interested in finding out.

One day after Kansas University announced that it was abandoning one set of plans and proposing a new location for a more ambitious sports complex in northwest Lawrence, reaction from city leaders ranged from full-blown enthusiasm to cautious optimism.

“I’m ecstatic,” said City ComKANSAS m i s s i o n e r UNIVERSITY Hugh Carter. “This can be so much more than just parking lots and buildings. This has the opportunity to be a real mixture between the university and the community.”

KU leaders on Tuesday delivered a letter notifying city officials that the university was no longer interested in a proposed partnership to locate a sports complex on 50 acres of property at the northwest corner of Sixth Street and the South

SAMUEL PORRITT JR. Samuel Porritt Jr., 94, of Lawrence, passed away on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at Brandon Woods at Alvamar where he lived since 2007.

He was born December 24, 1917, in Peoria, IL, the son of Samuel and Margaret Dunn Porritt.

Mr. Porritt lived in Peoria for many years, where he was active in business and the community. He served in a Machinist Apprenticeship program and was employed by Caterpillar Tractor Corporation for ten years, ultimately serving as the company’s General Foreman of Quality Control. From 1946 until 1986, he was the owner and President of Samuel Porritt & Co. in East Peoria, IL, a preferred supplier to Caterpillar and other manufacturers of heavy equipment. Mr. Porritt was named a Life Member of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.

As a youth, Mr. Porritt was a skilled violinist and, at age 14, was the youngest member of the Peoria Symphony Orchestra.

Throughout his life, he was an active boater, including serving as Commodore of the Illinois Valley Yacht Club. Mr. Porritt was also a long-time member of the Elks, the Moose, and other civic organizations.

He married Elnor J. Key on April 27, 1961 in Peoria. She preceded him in death on February 18, 1995 in Marco Island, FL where they retired and maintained a home.

He was also preceded in death by one sister,

Instead, KU leaders said they would like the city to locate its proposed $24 million recreation center/ youth fieldhouse on a 108acre site that would be north of a planned retail development at the northeast corner of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway.

In addition to a KU track and field stadium and soccer field — which were planned for the previous site — the new site also would include a KU softball stadium for its women’s team. If the city were to locate its proposed recreation center on the site, the project could become a major attraction for sporting events and recreation all year long.

“We invite the city to join us and forge new opportunities to make the city of Lawrence and the University of Kansas national leaders in providing athletic opportunities to its residents and studentathletes,” KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger wrote in a letter to city leaders.

City commissioners on Wednesday said they still believe the idea of the city and the university locating its facilities on the same property made sense.

“We may have changed our focus on locations, but I don’t think our focus on working together has changed at all,” said City Commissioner Mike Dever.

At least two city com-

The family would like to thank Dr. Gregory Schnose, many wonderful nurses and staff members at Brandon Woods as well as the hospice team from Visiting Nurses of Douglas County for all of the kindness and extraordinary care they provided.

No services are planned for Mr. Porritt. Cremation is planned by Lawrence Chapel Oaks Funeral Home.

The family suggests memorials to the National Parkinson Foundation (w w w. pa rk i n s o n .o rg ) , Douglas County Visiting Nurses (www.kansasvna. org), Corpus Christi Catholic Church or a charity of the donor’s choice.

missioners said they also are still interested in a partnership with Lawrence businessman Thomas Fritzel and his nonprofit foundation. At the previous site, Fritzel had proposed that his foundation would build the $24 million building, and the city would purchase it from the foundation through a 20-year leasepurchase agreement. He also had proposed a similar deal to the university as it related to the KU facilities.

Both Carter and Dever said they still were interested in a Fritzel partnership.

“I think it is clear that we can only do a $16 million or $17 million building on our own,” Carter said. “The difference between that and a $24 million building is enormous.

For this to be the type of draw we want it to be, we need to have some of these features we can’t do on our own.”

Attempts to reach Fritzel for comment were unsuccessful. But Paul Werner — a Lawrence architect who has been working for Fritzel on the recreation center project — said all indications are that Fritzel wants to partner with the city and KU on the new site.

“I think he absolutely wants to be involved in this,” Werner said.

Werner filed the application to annex and rezone the 108 acres, which currently are owned by an entity controlled by Lawrence builder Mike Stultz. Werner said the site — which is directly north and west of where George Williams Way

Vitter also said the rankings trail trends. “For example, the graduation rate in this year’s rankings is for students who came to KU between 2002 and 2005 — that’s a big lag,” he said. “It takes some (time) for changes we’re making now to be reflected in the rankings,” he said.

But KU noted that its School of Engineering is tied for 36th among public university engineering programs, up eight spots.

The school is expanding to meet a shortage of engineers and will dedicate a new facility next month to interdisciplinary research on environmental sustainability.

The School of Business tied for 45th among public universities, which is down from 33rd. The school is undertaking a significant effort to revise curricula, start new programs and recruit additional faculty.

Graduate program rankings are released in the spring, and, in the most recent ones, KU’s special education and city management and urban planning received top rankings among public universities. Overall, 35 graduate programs are ranked in the top 40 among public institutions.

Harvard and Princeton tied for No. 1 in the national overall rankings, and University of California-Berkley and University of California-Los Angeles ranked first and second among public universities.

Schools were ranked using various data and research methods, including freshman retention, graduation rates and the strength of faculty.

In addition, a number of academic indicators are analyzed, such as student selectivity, faculty resources, alumni giving and assessments by administrators at peer institutions. National universities, such as KU, are considered those that offer a full range of undergraduate, master’s and Ph.D programs and emphasize research.

“

We may have changed our focus on locations, but I don’t think our focus on working together has changed at all.”

— City Commissioner Mike Dever dead ends north of Sixth Street — has a lot going for it.

Werner said the site, which is about 60 acres bigger than the original site at the northwest corner, will more easily accommodate expansion and overflow parking for major events. He also said its location on the east side the South Lawrence Trafficway should make it easier for west Lawrence residents who want to walk or bike to the complex.

“People won’t have to figure out how to cross the bypass, and that is significant,” Werner said.

The property also is adjacent to about 40 acres of undeveloped parkland the city already owns.

The city-owned land runs through a wooded section of Baldwin Creek that Parks and Recreation leaders said could make for an attractive walking or jogging trail.

The size of the proposed sports complex also could allow the city to install lighted tennis courts to replace the lighted courts that were lost due to construction at Lawrence High, said Mayor Bob Schumm.

But there also are questions about the site. The property needs roads extended to it, and will need some work to hook onto city water and sewer ser-

vice. City officials are preparing new estimates for those costs, which previously were projected at $5 million.

But the infrastructure costs for the original site at the northwest corner were expected to be about $7 million for the city and another $3 million in state road improvements.

The city, however, had planned on recouping a good portion of those infrastructure costs through a special tax that would be imposed on new retail development surrounding the sports complex. That wouldn’t be the case with the new site, and it is uncertain how those costs would be paid for. The KU plan does not call for any retail development on its 108-acre site.

Instead, necessary hotels, restaurants and other accommodations would be expected to develop in an already-approved retail development just south of the site. That development is owned by a group led by Lawrence businessman Duane Schwada. Schwada also owns the property on the northwest corner of the intersection. He had proposed donating 50 to 60 acres to the city for a recreation center, and then the idea of joint cityKU sports complex grew from there.

Schwada’s northwest corner is up for rezoning that would allow retail development at the corner.

But a majority of commissioners said Wednesday they weren’t interested in zoning the northwest corner for retail, if the sports complex is not slated to go there.

An attempt to reach a representative for Schwada wasn’t successful Wednesday. Carter, though, said Schwada should be acknowledged for his contribution to the project.

“The Schwadas came up with a very good outsidethe-box idea, and they deserve a lot of credit for jump-starting the discussion,” Carter said.

Commissioners plan on discussing KU’s proposal in more detail at their Tuesday evening meeting at City Hall.

Both drivers suspected of drinking in Tenn. St. crash ————

One has at least 5 speeding tickets

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

The police report from an Aug. 26 two-vehicle accident that severed the legs of a Kansas University student from Derby states that both drivers involved were suspected of drunken driving by officers on the scene.

Cody Liston, 18, was standing behind a vehicle illegally parked in a driving lane in the 1600 block of Tennessee about 1:30 a.m. when a Ford Explorer driven by KU student Julian M. Kuszmaul, 21, Lawrence, struck and pinned Liston between the two vehicles. Both of Liston’s legs required amputation above the knee following

the accident.

The responding officer “immediately observed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from Kuszmaul’s mouth when he spoke,” and “also observed a strong odor of burnt marijuana from Kuszmaul’s clothing and vehicle,” according to the report. Though Kuszmaul told officers he slammed on the brakes as he approached the other car, police said they found no skid marks.

The driver of the vehicle Liston was behind, Derby resident Dustin A.

Erickson, 21, also exhibited signs of alcohol impairment, according to the report. Both Erickson and Kuszmaul were given blood tests for alcohol, and the results are pending.

Neither was arrested at the scene, though Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley said it’s not unusual for police and prosecutors to wait for the test results before filing charges.

A search of Douglas County Court records shows Kuszmaul has received at least five speeding tickets since 2006.

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration on Wednesday refused to answer questions from legislators about a growing waiting list of poor Kansans with severe disabilities who are seeking assistance.

“I’m flabbergasted,” said state Sen. John Vratil, RLeawood, after Gary Haulmark, who is commissioner of community services and programs for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, refused to answer questions during a public legislative committee meeting.

LAWRENCE

.

City retail numbers keep growing; recycling proposals to be accepted Editor’s note: These are excerpts from Chad Lawhorn’s enormously popular Town Talk column that appears on LJWorld. com daily, Monday through Friday. The print edition of Town Talk appears frequently.

I think I know what you guys did last summer: You went shopping. Retail sales numbers continue to come in very positively for Lawrence, and the latest report was off the charts.

The city in August received nearly $325,000 more in sales taxes than it did during the same month a year ago. Because of a lag time in reporting, the August report measures sales made from mid-June to mid-July.

It appears those dog days of summer were kind to retailers. According to the city’s number, retail sales figures were up 25 percent compared with the same time period a year ago. In fact, the August report showed $124.08 million in taxable sales, which has made it the largest month of the year thus far. So much for the summer doldrums in Lawrence.

It is always risky to read too much into a single month’s report, though.

Statistical anomalies easily pop up in these reports, and I suspect there is some of that going on here.

But we’ve also received eight reports now for 2012, and they all have been higher than the same period a year earlier. In fact, we have now seen 12 straight months where the monthly reports have been higher than those a year ago. From January to August 2012 compared with January to August 2011, retail sales tax collections are up 7.6 percent.

So a retail rebound is happening.

Here’s a look at retail sales totals for the first nine months of this year compared with the same period in past years. The numbers in parentheses are the sales totals adjusted for inflation.

2012: $908.74 million ($908.74M) 2011: $844.32 million ($859.95M) 2010: $814.59 million ($855.86M) 2009: $831.06 million

Agency CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

2008, according to legislative staff figures.

The federal government has been investigating complaints that the state is violating the civil rights of people who are waiting for help, some of whom have been waiting for years.

Advocates for people with physical disabilities have been filing Olmstead complaints, based on a U.S. Supreme Court decision that says states must provide services to people with disabilities to enable them to be more integrated in the community.

Ami Hyten, assistant executive director for the Topeka Independent Living Resource Center, said that under Olmstead states can have waiting lists, but must provide people with services within a reasonable amount of time.

Earlier this year, negotiations between the Brownback administration and officials with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services broke down. HHS then forwarded the waiting list complaints to the U.S. Justice Department, which “has made enforcement of Olmstead a top priority.”

Members of the Legislative Budget Committee had scheduled an overview of the HCBS program on Wednesday. After receiving an update from legislative staff on the size of the

Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

($887.49M) 2008: $861.40 million ($916.62M) The 2012 inflation-adjusted numbers are getting close to passing the 2008 pre-financial-crisis numbers. If that happens, I think it will be a significant sign for the health of the Lawrence economy.

Regardless, today’s numbers are pretty darn significant for the city’s budget. The city is officially projecting a budget surplus of $1.1 million in the sales tax category for 2012. If retail sales, though, keep growing at their current rate of 7.6 percent, the surplus likely will be higher than that.

On Tuesday night, the city did agree to request proposals for a citywide, curbside recycling service. The city should have a better idea by the end of this year about how much such a service would cost and, consequently, how much would have to be added to the monthly trash bills of residents.

A couple of details worth noting from the discussion:

The city will require companies submitting a bid to provide the service to explain how they could work with the approximately half-dozen small, private haulers that provide curbside recycling service in the city. There’s no guarantee any of the companies will come up with an acceptable plan to integrate those small haulers into the system, but the city at least wants to hear ideas about how to do so.

The city has expressed concern about putting those small haulers out of business, but the city also has said it needs to do something to increase the overall recycling rate in the city. It is estimated the city’s 2010 recycling rate was 38 percent. The city

waiting lists, Haulmark told legislators he had been advised by the general counsel of his agency not to answer any questions.

“That makes absolutely no sense,” Vratil said.

Tom Laing, executive director of InterHab, which helps people with disabilities, said the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services has even stopped posting on its website the number of people who are on waiting lists.

Budget Committee Chairwoman Carolyn McGinn, R-Sedgwick, asked Haulmark when legislators could expect to get answers to their questions since the Legislature is responsible for funding the program.

Haulmark said he didn’t know, so McGinn asked that Haulmark bring his general counsel to the committee’s meeting today.

Kathy Lobb, of Lawrence, who is with the Self Advocates Coalition of Kansas, said she hoped that projected savings cited by the Brownback administration in its proposed changes to the state Medicaid system could be used to “get the services” to those on the waiting lists.

plan to curb tobacco use, which is the leading cause of premature and preventable death in the nation.

It causes 443,000 deaths each year.

On Wednesday, HHS announced an initiative to ban smoking across the country.

As of July 1, there were 774 college campuses that had banned smoking, including 562 that had KANSAS banned all UNIVERSITY tobacco use, according to Americans for Nonsmokers’ Rights.

Kansas University is sort of in the middle.

Tim Caboni, vice chancellor for public affairs, said Wednesday that KU implemented campuswide bans on tobacco use at its medical campuses in Kansas City and Wichita

in September 2006.

Lawrence, be afraid, be “Tobacco use is prodoubly afraid. The city hibited both inside and once again will be home outside of the buildings to two Halloween stores this season.

As we previously reported, the former Sears building at 27th and Iowa streets will house Spirit Halloween, a seasonal retailer of all things spooky.

Spirit was located in the former Maurice’s building in downtown Lawrence last year. (Freebirds Burrito is still slated to go into that spot, but I do need to get an update on the progress of that project, which proposes to subdivide the building.)

Now we can report that Halloween Express is going into the former Blockbuster building on 1516 W. 23rd St. Store manager Kattie Johnston told me the store likely will be open by this weekend.

Halloween Express was in the former Borders building in downtown, which is no longer available because it will be used as a temporary home for the Lawrence Public Library.

“We’re excited to be even closer to campus,” Johnston said of the new location.

The store is a temporary store, meaning it probably will close around Nov. 1. wants to be at 50 percent by 2020.

The city is still holding out the option that city crews would run the curbside recycling service rather than contracting with a third party. The bid process is set up in a way that the city staff will also submit a price to operate the service. The city’s proposal will be due at the same time private companies submit theirs.

As we have noted before, even if the city decides it can afford a curbside recycling service, it won’t get started for quite awhile.

A state law designed to protect private haulers requires an 18-month waiting period before the city can start the service. The earliest the city believes a citywide curbside program could begin is in June 2014.

campuswide ban on tobacco use.

“We think the policy right now is serving us well, and there’s been no conversation around changing that,” he said.

“We ask that individuals who choose to use tobacco do it in a way that’s respectful for the community and their peers. That means not smoking in or near entrances to buildings, and just being aware of their surroundings and the folks that their choice is affecting.”

KU does not sell tobacco products on any of its campuses, and it offers smoking cessation assistance for its students and employees.

“One of the things that we know is choosing to smoke tobacco is not a choice that we want folks to make. We know the long-term health implications of that, and so we have support systems for those individuals who are trying to quit,” he said.

“As a former smoker myself, I know how helpful those can be.”

— anywhere considered to be a part of the campus property,” he said.

“It’s for everybody — faculty, staff, employees, students, contractors, patients, guests — at every location on those campuses.”

But on the main Lawrence campus and the Edwards campus in Overland Park, the tobacco policy follows Kansas regulations, which means no smoking within and near campus buildings, which includes the Kansas Union, Adams Alumni Center and student housing.

The use of chewing tobacco is allowed in student housing, and smoking and tobacco use are allowed at Memorial Stadium, but only in designated areas.

Anyone who violates KU’s tobacco policies could face fines ranging from $100 to $500, and students and staff could face disciplinary actions, — Health reporter Karrey Britt can be including termination of reached at 832-7190. Britt also is the employment.

Services offered for Jewish holidays

The Chabad Center for Jewish Life will be providing free Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services at the Kansas Union for members of the Lawrence community who do not have a place to celebrate the holidays, don’t feel comfortable in a synagogue setting or are unable to afford the cost of services.

Rosh Hashana will begin this year after sundown on Sunday and will last until sundown of Sept. 18. Yom Kippur will begin after sundown Sept. 25 and extend for 24 hours.

According to a news release from the Chabad Center, the services will be “user-friendly” and “enjoyable and meaningful for both beginner and advanced.

“According to Jewish tradition, on the Jewish New Year, the doors of Heaven are open. G-d accepts prayers from everyone,” Chabad Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel said in the release. “The least we can do is open our doors as well, to the entire community.”

Lawrence McDonald’s restaurants STREET to offer calorie info starting today ON THE

What do you think Kansas University could do to improve?

McDonald’s restaurants in the United States will soon get a new menu addition: the number of calories in the chain’s burgers and fries.

The world’s biggest hamburger chain announced Wednesday that it will post calorie information on restaurant and drive-thru menus nationwide starting Monday. But the four Lawrence-area restaurants will have new menus today.

Customers will know that ordering a Big Mac and medium fries, for example, will add up to 920 calories. Add a 16-ounce Coca-Cola and the count rises to 1,140 calories.

Kayleigh Anderson, student, Lawrence “I think one thing they can do is up the security and cops watching the students, especially the ones that don’t live in Lawrence.”

The move comes ahead of a regulation that could require major chains to post the information as early as next year.

“We want to voluntarily do this,” said Jan Fields, president of McDonald’s USA. “We believe it will help educate HEALTH customers.”

In cities such as New York and Philadelphia where posting calorie information is already required, however, Fields notes that the information has not changed what customers choose to order.

“When it’s all said and done, the menu mix doesn’t change,” she said.

“But I do think people feel

better knowing this information.”

The decision to post calorie information in the U.S. follows the Supreme Court’s decision this summer to uphold President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, which includes a regulation that would require restaurant chains with more than 20 locations to post calorie information. The timetable for carrying out that requirement is being worked out.

U.S. sends Marines to Libya after attack

Officials: Assault may have been planned 9/11 terrorist strike

SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON and President Barack Obama walk to the Oval Office from the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington on Wednesday after the president spoke on the death of U.S. ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens.

Romney, Obama trade barbs over Middle East attacks

By David Espo Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republican challenger Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama’s administration on Wednesday of showing weakness in the face of tumultuous events that left four U.S. diplomats dead in the Middle East and jolted the race for the White House. Obama retorted that his rival “seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.”

Even some Republicans questioned Romney’s handling of the issue, calling it hasty. Top GOP leaders in Congress pointedly declined to endorse his criticism of the president.

S a i d Obama: “It’s important for you to make sure that the statements that Romney you make are backed up by the facts.

And that you’ve thought through the ramifications before you make ‘em.”

Obama-the-politicalcandidate’s unusually personal criticism, which came in an interview with CBS, stood in contrast to his appearance outside the White House earlier in the day. Then, he somberly mourned the deaths and announced the deployment of additional Marines at diplomatic posts overseas in his capacity as commander in chief.

“And make no mistake.

Justice will be done” he declared, referring to those responsible for the murders of Chris Stevens, U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three others.

The four diplomats were killed on Tuesday as protesters overran and burned the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. In a separate incident, the American Embassy in Cairo was breached by protesters, and the nation’s flag was ripped down, although no deaths were reported there.

The political fallout came as U.S. officials investigated whether the

attack in Libya was a terrorist strike planned to mark the 11th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Initial reports were that both the Libya and Egypt events had been motivated by anger over an amateur film made in the United States that ridiculed Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Either way, some Republicans joined Democrats in questioning Romney’s decision to inject himself into the situation thousands of miles away with his critical statement Tuesday night.

He followed up with morning remarks in which he blasted the administration’s initial statement from Cairo as disgraceful and “akin to apology.”

He added, “It’s never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values.”

Appearing in Jacksonville, Fla., Romney quickly broadened his remarks to emphasize other disagreements he has with Obama on national security issues, citing “differences of opinion with regards to Israel and our policies there; with regards to Iran, with regards to Afghanistan, with regards to Syria. ...”

The events unfolded with less than eight weeks remaining in the race for the White House, a campaign that has been close for months and appears likely to be settled in fewer than 10 battleground states.

The state of the economy has been the top issue by far from the beginning of the race, and recent surveys suggest Romney holds a narrowing advantage over the president when it comes to plans for reducing the nation’s unemployment rate of 8.1 percent.

The situation has long been different on foreign policy. Asked in a Washington Post-ABC News poll last week which candidate was better suited to handle international affairs, registered voters picked Obama by a margin of 51 percent to 38 percent.

BENGHAZI, LIBYA — The U.S. dispatched an elite group of Marines to Tripoli and two warships to the Libyan coast on Wednesday after the mob attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. Officials were investigating whether the rampage was a backlash to an anti-Islamic video with ties to Coptic Christians or a plot to coincide with the anniversary of 9/11.

Tuesday’s stunning attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi poses a daunting task for U.S. and Libyan investigators: Stevens searching for the culprits in a city rife with heavy weapons, multiple militias, armed Islamist groups and little police control.

The one-story villa that serves as the consulate was a burned-out wreck after the crowd armed with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades rampaged through it. Slogans of “God is great” and “Muhammad is God’s Prophet” were scrawled across its scorched walls.

Libyan civilians strolled freely in charred rooms with furniture and papers strewn everywhere.

President Barack Obama vowed in a Rose Garden address that the U.S. would “work with the Libyan government to bring to justice” those who killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, information manager Sean Smith and two other Americans who were not identified.

Three other Americans were wounded.

Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed in the line of duty in 30 years.

“We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, but there is absolutely no justification for this type of senseless violence.

None,” said Obama, who also ordered increased security at U.S. diplomatic posts abroad.

The mob attack on Tuesday — the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist strike in the U.S. — was initially presumed to have been a spontaneous act triggered by outrage over a movie called “Innocence of Muslims” that mocked Islam’s Prophet Muhammad that was produced in the U.S. and excerpted on YouTube. The amateurish video also drew protests in Cairo, where angry ultraconservatives climbed the U.S. Embassy’s walls,

LIBYANS WALK ON THE GROUNDS of the gutted U.S. consulate Wednesday in Benghazi, Libya, after an attack that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, Wednesday. tore down an American flag and replaced it with an Islamic banner.

But a U.S. counterterrorism official said the Benghazi violence was “too coordinated or professional” to be spontaneous. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the incident publicly.

The FBI was sending evidence teams to Libya, a law enforcement official said.

Libya’s new leadership — scrambling to preserve ties with Washington after U.S. help to overthrow former dictator Moammar Gadhafi — vowed to find those behind the attack. Interim President Mohammed el-Megarif apologized to the United States for what he called the “cowardly” assault, which also killed several Libyan security guards at the consulate in the eastern city.

Increased presence About 50 U.S. Marines were sent to Libya to guard U.S. diplomatic facilities. The Marines are members of an elite group known as a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, or FAST, whose role is to respond on short notice to terrorism threats and to reinforce security at embassies.

At the same time, the Pentagon moved two warships to the Libyan coast. Officials said one

destroyer, the USS Laboon, moved to a position off the coast Wednesday, and the destroyer USS McFaul was en route and should be stationed off the coast within days, increasing the number of Navy destroyers in the Mediterranean from four to five.

Officials said the ships, which carry Tomahawk cruise missiles, do not have a specific mission.

But they give commanders flexibility to respond to any mission ordered by the president.

The Marines, sent from a base in Spain, were headed initially to the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, not

to Benghazi, according to U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.

The consulate attack illustrated the breakdown in security in Libya, where the government is still trying to establish authority months after Gadhafi’s fall.

There also were indications that two distinct attacks took place — one on the consulate, then a second hours later early Wednesday on a nearby house to which the staff had been evacuated.

The crowd of several thousand that descended on the consulate was armed with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, said Wanis elSharef, the deputy interior minister of Libya’s eastern region.

A small contingent of Libyan security protecting the facility fired in the air, trying to intimidate the mob. But faced with superior size and firepower, the Libyan security withdrew, elSharef said. Gunmen stormed the building, looted its contents and torched it, he said.

Details of how the Americans were killed were still unclear.

U.S. poverty rate unchanged; record numbers persist

WASHINGTON — The nation’s poverty rate remained stuck at a record level last year, while household income dropped and the number of people who don’t have health insurance declined.

A Census Bureau report released Wednesday provided a mixed picture of the economic well-being of U.S. households for 2011 as the nation enters the final phase of a presidential election campaign in which the economy is the No. 1 issue.

The overall poverty rate stood at 15 percent, statistically unchanged from the 15.1 percent rate in the previous year. Experts had expected a rise in the poverty rate for the fourth straight year, but unemployment benefits and modest job

gains helped stave that off, the bureau reported. For last year, the official poverty line was an annual income of $23,021 for a family of four.

While unemployment eased slightly from 2010 to 2011, the gap between rich and poor increased.

The median, or midpoint, household income was $50,054, 1.5 percent lower than 2010 and a second straight annual decline.

In a blog post, the White House said the latest figures show that government policies can help the poor, middle class and uninsured, while more work remains to be done.

“While we have made progress digging our way out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, too many families are still struggling and Congress must act on the policies President

Obama has put forward to strengthen the middle class and those trying to get into it,” the White House post said.

By total numbers, roughly 46.2 million people remained below the poverty line last year, unchanged from 2010. That figure was the highest in the more than half a century that records have been kept. The 15 percent poverty rate was about the same as it was in 1993 and was the highest since 1983.

Broken down by state, New Mexico had the highest share of poor people, at 22.2 percent, according to rough calculations by the Census Bureau. It was followed by Louisiana, the District of Columbia, South Carolina, Arkansas and Georgia. On the other end of the scale, New Hampshire had the lowest, at 7.6 percent.

Docs: Ban on big, sugary drinks could help fight against obesity NEW YORK (AP) — The era of the supersized cola may come to an end in New York City on Thursday, when health officials are expected to approve an unprecedented 16-ounce limit on sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants, delis and movie theaters. But will it actually translate into better health?

Doctors and nutrition experts said the regulation’s success or failure may depend on more than just the modest number of calories it might slash from people’s diets. It will hinge on whether the first-in-the-nation rule

starts a conversation that changes attitudes toward overeating.

“Ultimately it does come down to culture, and it comes down to taking some first steps,” said Dr. JefHEALTH frey Mechanick, a professor at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine who has studied the effect of government regulation on the obesity epidemic.

“There are so many factors that are acting in this complex disease. Obesity is not just a disease sim-

ply of people drinking too much sugary soft drink,” he said. “Just attacking one thing, individually, isn’t going to do much.”

But if the rule is part of a broader social and scientific assault on the dangers of too much sugar, he said, it could be tremendously effective. He likened it to the drumbeat about the dangers of smoking, which took decades to translate into results.

“People talk about it. It gets ruminated at social parties. It gets ruminated in politics and the media.

And all of a sudden, you have an awareness,” he said.

Notable A new government report is forecasting a Kansas corn and soybean crop that could be the smallest harvest in the state since 2006.

Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Wednesday that corn for grain production in Kansas is now expected to be 382.2 million bushels. That is down 2 percent from August and is 15 percent below last year.

The estimate is based on an average yield of 91 bushels per acre from 4.2 million harvested acres.

The new forecast pegs the soybean crop at 70.4 million bushels.

Tall, skinny iPhone in U.S. stores Sept. 21

By Michael Liedtke and Peter Svensson Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — For the first time, the iPhone is growing. After sticking for five years to the same screen size, Apple on Wednesday revealed a new phone that’s taller, with a bigger screen.

The iPhone 5 will go on sale in the U.S. and eight other countries next Friday, Sept. 21.

Even though it’s taller than the iPhone 4S, it’s lighter, thanks to a new screen technology that makes the whole phone thinner.

The bigger screen — 4 inches measured diagonally — creates room for another row of icons on the screen and lets widescreen movies fit better.

Previous iPhone models carried 3.5-inch screens.

In another big change, the iPhone 5 will come with the capability to connect to the fastest new wireless data networks in the U.S. and overseas.

There was little in Wednesday’s announcement that surprised Apple watchers. Despite the pains the company takes to hide its plans, the rough launch date, the new screen and the capability to connect to so-called LTE networks had been reported for months by blogs and analysts.

“There was nothing unexpected in terms of the new features of the iPhone,” said Tavis McCourt, an analyst with Raymond James.

That’s a contrast to last year, when Apple watchers were first surprised by a delay in the launch, and then by the fact that the phone that was revealed was the iPhone 4S rather than a more radical update.

One thing that did surprise McCourt this year: Apple is launching the phone in so many countries so quickly. On Day One, the phone will be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the U.K., besides the U.S. A week later, it will go on sale in 22 more countries, including Italy, Poland and Spain.

It’s the year’s most anticipated phone. The number Apple can sell, analysts believe, is limited mostly by the production capacity of its suppliers. There had been concerns that supplies could be tight. Even so, analysts were expecting Apple to sell tens of millions of phones before the year is out.

Another surprise was that the phone will be 18 percent thinner than its predecessor.

The company was expected to use the space freed up by the new screen technology to expand the phone’s battery, not make the phone thinner.

Sebelius violated politicking ban WASHINGTON (AP) — Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius violated a federal law that restricts political activity by government officials, a federal ethics office said in a report Wednesday.

Off-the-cuff remarks by Sebelius during a speech earlier this year to a gay rights group in North Carolina violated the Hatch Act, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel said in a report to the Sebelius White House.

The law prohibits federal employees from using their official authority to influence an election, although it allows partisan remarks made in a personal capacity.

In the Feb. 25 speech to the Human Rights Campaign, Sebelius called for President Barack Obama’s re-election and endorsed a Democratic candidate Walter Dalton for governor.

Later, she rescinded the gubernatorial endorsement.

The ethics office found that Sebelius had made the speech in her official capacity as the nation’s top health official, but departed from her prepared text and veered into politicking.

“While a violation of the Hatch Act occurred, Secretary Sebelius’ statements would have been permissible if they had been made in her personal capacity,” the report said.

In a formal response, Sebelius said that any violation was “technical and minor” and was corrected after her official trip was reclassified as political, and the government was repaid for her travel.

Radicals spur unrest in Egypt, Libya

EDITORIALS

Step back Lawrence officials have a new opportunity to work with Kansas University — and also an opportunity to step back and make sure new recreation facilities will meet the city’s needs.

K

ansas University’s decision to withdraw from plans for a city-KU recreation complex on the northwest corner of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway presents an opportunity to city officials.

The possibility of partnering with KU on a different development near the northeast corner of that intersection may prove to be a good opportunity for the city. However, before city officials jump into such a deal, they need to take this opportunity to step back and take a fresh look at their plans for a new recreation center.

The recreation complex that was being proposed by developers Duane Schwada and Thomas Fritzel was not what the city would have planned or built on its own. The city would have built something smaller and at least a little closer to the center of the city — and designed more to serve local recreational needs than to serve as a destination for out-of-town visitors participating in volleyball or basketball tournaments.

Now is the time for city officials to take a breath and make sure they are clear on their goals for this center. How important or beneficial is it to share a site with a KU facility? The two facilities could share some parking and utility improvements but would operate independently. Does whatever the city gains from the association with KU offset any disadvantages, such as the center’s relatively distant location for local users?

Maybe partnering with KU will be a great deal, but city officials again need to carefully examine the details. The city’s recreation center apparently would be built on land owned by KU, and the city needs to consider any problems that might pose. Other details such as who will pay for extending utilities to the site must be hammered out in a way that’s fair to all parties.

The city also needs to find out whether Fritzel still is willing to help finance a recreation center so the city can build a larger facility than it otherwise could afford — and whether the city can reach a satisfactory deal with Fritzel to do that.

There must be total transparency on the cost of the structures, as well as costs associated with extending the infrastructure. There is no excuse to manipulate costs or the assignment of costs.

City officials seemed eager after Tuesday’s meeting to work out a deal with KU. There’s nothing wrong with that. Lawrence is proud to be the home of the state’s largest university, and the city has every reason to be supportive and enthusiastic about KU’s plans to build new track, soccer and softball facilities at this location.

That being said, city officials need to remember that their primary duty is not to build a facility that works for KU or one that works for developers of the surrounding property. It needs to be a facility that works for the residents and taxpayers of Lawrence. They should take enough time to make sure whatever the city agrees to meets that goal.

WASHINGTON — What’s happening on the ground in Cairo and Benghazi appears to be a case of political opportunism — no, not by Mitt Romney, though there was some of that Wednesday — but by Salafist Islamic extremists who are unhappy with the success the more moderate Islamist and secularist parties in Egypt and Libya have had in building political support.

We’re still in what I like to call the “fog of revolution” in both countries, where it’s hard to know for sure what’s happening and who benefits, so my reporting comes with a basic caveat. But based on conversations with sources who were on the streets Tuesday in the midst of the Cairo demonstration, and who have been following events in Libya closely, it’s possible to pierce the fog a bit and offer some basic analysis: First, the situation in Cairo: The Arabic banners of the protesters moving toward the U.S. Embassy identified them as members of the Nour Party and the Asala Party, the two leading Salafist groups that have competed in the Egyptian elections. The Salafists, whose name connotes respect for the Islamic “ancestors” of the Prophet Muhammad’s time, are more conservative and less pragmatic than the Muslim Brotherhood that is now ruling Egypt.

An analyst who was in the midst of that crowd Tuesday told me he thinks the Salaf-

“

But this isn’t really about America: It’s about different factions battling for power in a fluid political situation.” ist demonstrators were using the pretext of a supposedly anti-Islamic American film to send two messages: the first was obviously anti-Americanism, which is potent in today’s Egypt; the second and more interesting message was a challenge by the Salafists to their rivals in the Muslim Brotherhood government of President Mohamed Morsi.

As is so often the case in revolutions, the Cairo uproar appears to be partly a case of radicals wanting to undermine a more moderate governing party. The Salafist demonstrators’ threat was augmented by violent hooligans, who are often described as soccer fans but increasingly are inflammatory anarchists.

A similar process of postrevolutionary jockeying is going on in Libya, and it tragically led to the death Tues-

day of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. The Salafists’ assault on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi at first appeared to be a “copycat” attack like the one in Cairo, but U.S. officials said it may have been planned by extremists linked to al-Qaida. They were augmented by a well-armed Islamic militia. Their anger, again, is mixed between a baseline anti-Americanism (sadly, always a draw in the region) and a challenge to Prime Minister Abdurrahim el-Keib and the secularist parties that are the backbone of the new Libyan government.

Does America have an interest in the internal fights taking place in these countries still quaking from the Arab uprisings? Yes, of course it does, especially when U.S. embassies are targets of protesters and American diplomats get killed in the crossfire. But this isn’t really about America: It’s about different factions battling for power in a fluid political situation.

Unfortunately, the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979 is an apt parallel. That was the work of a group of extremist Iranian “students” who were unhappy that the post-revolutionary government of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini wasn’t proving radical enough. They captured the revolution when they seized the embassy. The lesson of that disaster is that local security authori-

ties must quickly restore order — and if they can’t or won’t, then Americans must move out of harm’s way.

Also worrisome is the link between Salafists (whose posters disturbingly appear in Cairo neighborhoods near Heliopolis populated by members of the military) and the more violently “takfiri” wing, which believes it’s permissible to kill apostate Muslims, and has links with al-Qaida. The takfiris hate the ruling Muslim Brotherhood, if that’s any consolation.

The delicate political balance in Egypt and Libya makes the blunderbuss campaign rhetoric of Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, especially unfortunate. His comments make this crisis more “about America” than it needs to be.

Let’s return to the main trigger for these events: It’s the success of the tolerably non-extremist (I won’t say “moderate”) governments in Egypt and Libya in consolidating power, and the anger of the more radical Salafists at this success.

Morsi, for example, has just won pledges of billions in financial support from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The Gulf Arabs are making a bet that over the next year, Morsi can stabilize Egypt and get the economy moving again.

Despite Tuesday’s tragic events, the U.S. should make the same bet.

Citizens must express spending priorities

By Gene A. Budig and Alan Heaps

With the Republican and Democratic presidential tickets now set, the national debate about the economy, public spending and the deficit is sure to heat up.

This is a conversation in which all of us must make our opinions known. Why? Because where we spend government dollars is nothing less than the practical application of our values.

Let’s start with a look at our nation’s finances. In short, while the economy may be improving, we have more tough times and choices ahead. Three recent reports make this clear.

Report one, from the U.S. Department of Labor, tells us that we are 12 million jobs short of the pre-recession level of employment Report two, from the State Budget Crisis Task Force, studied the finances of six large states: California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Texas and Virginia. It tells us that “The conclusion of the Task Force is unambiguous. The existing trajectory of state spending, taxation, and administrative practices cannot be sustained. The basic problem is not cyclical. It is structural. The time to act is now.”

Report three, from the management consulting firm Bain and Company, analyzed the finances of 1,700 public and private nonprofit colleges. It tells us that “one-third of the institutions have an unsustainable financial path” and another 28 percent are “at risk of slipping into an unsustainable condition.”

Unfortunately, these reports reflect our broader financial health. The federal government is unable to deal with the national debt, now at more than $15 trillion. Moody’s downgraded 300 municipal bond issuers in the second quar-

ter of 2012, the most in more than a decade. Bankruptcy filings, non-business and business, have risen from under 1 million in 2008 to 1.5 million in 2011. But all is not doom and gloom. Relative to many other countries, our finances are strong; America’s economy has been resilient in the past; and, to a great degree, we control our own destiny. But this control is predicated on a number of factors, one of which is reducing government spending.

This brings us to the tough part: What programs do we want to cut and by how much?

In a recent report, Andy Kohut, president Budig of the Pew Research Center, stated that “In my years of polling, there has never been an issue such as the deficit on which there has been such a consensus among the public about its importance — and such a lack of agreement about acceptable solutions.”

Heaps The report goes on to tell us that while 70 percent of the public believes the deficit is a major threat to our economic well-being, people are neither willing to reduce spending nor to raise taxes. Here are a few examples: Americans favor spending increases over decreases in 15 of 18 major policy areas (including education, Medicare, Social Security, aid to the U.S. needy, and infrastructure); 60 percent believe that maintaining entitlement benefits is more important than

deficit reduction; and there is strong or moderate opposition to taxing employer-provided health insurance, raising the gas tax or Medicare contributions, reducing federal funding to states, eliminating the home mortgage deduction, raising the Social Security retirement age and/or levying a national sales tax.

One thing is clear: Congress is afraid to act and we all know it. Only 10 percent of the American public approves of the job Congress is doing.

So what are to do? Take on the responsibility ourselves. We need to tell Congress and the presidential candidates what we value. How do we do it? We must start and pursue a vigorous and unrelenting debate about budget cuts in all the venues we inhabit: in our local press, with our local officials, in all our businesses and social settings.

To get the ball rolling, here are three principles that we may want to seriously consider:

Protect investments in our future. This moves education and infrastructure to the top of the list.

Protect those who are most needy and will be most damaged by reductions.

Get the economy back up and running and, to a great degree, this means creating jobs.

Georges Clemenceau, the French journalist and statesman, famously said that “War is too important to be left to the generals.” We need to say that the “budget it too important to be left to the politicians.”

Eagerly awaiting women’s hoops

——

What’s next for league now that Irish ACC-bound?

By Chuck Carlton

The Dallas Morning News

Sudden, loud noises rank near the top of my long list of pet peeves, such as the horn at women’s basketball games in Allen Fieldhouse. For one thing, it used to startle me awake. I hated that.

But that was then.

This is now: Not even midway through September, I’m sitting here doodling about what would make the most exciting starting five for coach Bonnie Henrickson’s ninth Kansas University team. Senior point guard Angel Goodrich has transformed its entertainment value so completely that I can’t wait for the season to start, and I never thought I’d feel that way about the sport.

Henrickson has recruited around Angel well enough that if the coach can get the team’s five most talented players’ heads in the right place at the same time and motivate them in such a way as to bring out the best in them, joining big Allen Fieldhouse crowds to witness Angel’s final season could become the thing to do for students and city basketball fans alike.

Most of us wrote off the Jayhawks when leading scorer Carolyn Davis went down with an ACL injury.

The players took the opposite approach and Goodrich, led the team all the way to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

“Obviously, it was a heartbreaker when she went down,” Goodrich said recently. “We knew something was going to have to change, whether it was more perimeter scoring or it was a big stepping-up.”

Both happened. Goodrich looked to score more, and then-freshman center Chelsea Gardner proved ready for prime time in a big way.

“It either can break you or it can make you stronger, and I think it made us stronger,” Goodrich said of Davis’ injury.

Assuming Davis fully recovers, pairing her with Gardner underneath has exciting possibilities.

“We started doing that right before Carolyn got hurt,” Goodrich said. “Coach Bonnie was playing Carolyn and Chelsea together, trying to see how that would work.

In practice, it looked really good.”

Goodrich at the point, Davis and Gardner on the blocks. The trio needs a shooter on the wings, one with enough size to guard a small forward. Enter senior Monica Engelman and sophomore Asia Boyd.

Both talents underachieved last year, Engelman mired in a slump, Boyd making the difficult transition to Div. I basketball, which requires more intense work and attention to detail.

“I went up against Monica in pick-up,” Goodrich said.

“Big improvement over the summer from when she went into a little slump.

She’s got a lot of confidence back in her.”

Boyd wouldn’t be the first major talent to make a gigantic leap from freshman to sophomore season.

Goodrich’s KU finale opens against Idaho State in Allen Fieldhouse and is just 59 days away. Can’t wait.

Big 12 ponders ND-less future

TCU QUARTERBACK CASEY PACHALL THROWS during the first half against Grambling State on Saturday in Fort Worth, Texas.

Pachall went 9-for-9 for 201 yards in just two quarters of the Horned Frogs’ eventual 56-0 rout.

Jayhawks wary of TCU QB

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When TCU quarterback Casey Pachall took the field for last week’s season opener against Grambling State, he did so under a little pressure.

As a first-time starter in 2011, Pachall set TCU single-season records for completions (228), completion percentage (66.5) and passing yards (2,921) and finished 12th nationally in passing efficiency with a 157.98 rating while tossing 25 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

This offseason, what he would deliver for an encore weighed heavily on the minds of many, especially considering this was the season the Horned Frogs were to begin playing with the big boys on a weekly basis as new members of the Big 12 Conference.

After a lot of wondering and waiting, Pachall’s first game

finally came. Nine passes and two quarters into it, he earned a seat on the bench. The reason? He completed all nine for 201 yards and three touchdowns while helping TCU build a 42-0 halftime lead.

Never one to overhype a performance, TCU coach Gary Patterson played down Pachall’s numbers earlier this week.

“I always judge quarterbacks on Saturdays,” he said.

“And he’s played one game out of 12 so far. He ran the offense he needed to. Our offensive line gave him time, and anytime you get time as a quarterback, it’s a lot easier to be effective. We were very pleased.”

Kansas coach Charlie Weis came away a little more impressed.

“Here you’ve got a big, strong, physical quarterback who’s very accurate and has a strong arm and has some good

weapons around him,” Weis said of the 6-foot-5, 226-pound junior from Brownwood, Texas. “He does a very good job of managing the game (and) getting the ball into the players’ hands.”

Because of his versatile skill set, Pachall figures to provide a stiff test for all areas of the KU defense when the teams square off at 11 a.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

Senior defensive end Toben Opurum said Pachall’s experience — he’s now two years removed from backing up current Cincinnati Bengals starter Andy Dalton — makes him dangerous.

Junior linebacker Huldon Tharp said the Jayhawks would have to be assignmentsound to slow Pachall down, sliding into passing lanes and forcing him to put more air under the ball to give KU’s Please see PACHALL, page 3B

For all the talking and effort, the Big 12 never got close to the deal-making stage with Notre Dame.

The Atlantic Coast Conference landed the biggest expansion prize Wednesday, proving the Fighting Irish are still special even if their football program isn’t.

Notre Dame will leave the Big East for the ACC in all their sports except football and ice hockey.

The football team will play five ACC teams each year and even be a part of the ACC bowl lineup outside of the BCS. ACC commissioner John Swofford will reportedly reopen an underwhelming TV deal with ESPN. “We never got to the point where we were talking about, ‘This is what it will cost,’ or ‘This is what our concerns are,’” said Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, an old friend of Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick.

Bowlsby said extended negotiations on the Fox and ESPN TV deals also played a role.

“We had spent some time about how this might fit together,” Bowlsby said. “Everybody knew Notre Dame wanted football to stay independent. That creates rough spots, especially for us in the middle of a TV negotiation.”

Had the TV deal been completed months ago, Bowlsby said, “It would have given us a known element.”

The Big 12 had no shortage of connections.

Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds spent the better part of two years as an unofficial ambassador at large.

“I thought if the ACC offered what we were willing to do, they would go to the ACC because they had ties there,” Dodds said. “I was disappointed.

“It was worth the effort.

I’d do it all over again.”

The ACC offered advantages the Big 12 couldn’t match. The academic profile of some schools was attractive to university officials. Much of Notre Dame’s alumni base is located along the ACC footprint down the Eastern Seaboard. ACC schools are located near or in major cities: Boston, Miami, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and even Washington, D.C., with Maryland.

“I think it’s a good fit for Notre Dame,” Bowlsby said, adding that he’s glad the ACC is “juggling 15 teams and not me.”

FSHS tennis throttles Jags

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Senior Emily Sadosky used to fill a different role for Free State High’s girls tennis team, but the captain’s adaptability continued to shine Wednesday at the Firebirds’ home dual against Mill Valley.

As a sophomore and a junior, Sadosky occupied one of Free State’s top two slots in singles competition. Now in her final season with the

program, she and freshman Caitlin Dodd have paired up to become the top doubles combination. The duo handled their business as a team, then both won singles matches on their own in Free State’s 7-2 victory over the Jaguars.

FSHS coach Oather Strawderman said Sadosky serves as a great example for her younger teammate, Dodd.

“It’s been a big change for her this year playing doubles, in addition to play-

ing with someone who is a freshman,” the coach said.

“But Caitlin’s a really strong player, and Emily’s presence on the court and her leadership abilities and tenacity really help Caitlin understand high school tennis.”

Most of the Firebirds generated strong afternoons, even though Sadosky was the only senior playing in varsity matches. In her down time, Sadosky liked what she saw

Kansas Speedway road course tested KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — The new road course at Kansas Speedway finally got its test drive.

Sports cars turned laps on the 2.36-mile course Wednesday morning. The layout meandering through the infield was built during a $20 million project this summer that also resurfaced the main tri-oval in time for NASCAR’s next Sprint Cup race, scheduled for Oct. 21. There is no date yet for the first sports car race at Kansas Speedway, but track President Pat Warren expects the race to be run under the lights next summer.

“We couldn’t be more excited about having a road course and having a Grand-Am race here next year to add to our NASCAR events,� Warren said. “It’s a whole new place for racing in Kansas City and the only place in the Midwest you can get it. It will be fantastic.�

Drivers from the Rolex and Continental Tires series took part in testing the six-turn design, which takes cars down the front straight before a hard left into the infield.

They twist and turn their way down the back side before a hairpin turn brings them back

to Turn 2, where they merge back on the main track and head down the backstretch toward Turns 3 and 4. The testing was done one week after GrandAm and American Le Mans announced a merger that will join them as one series beginning with the 2014 season. The new series will start with that year’s edition of the Rolex 24 at Daytona and likely include 12 races.

Many details are still being worked out, including a series name and technical regulations, but the merger involves a total of eight North American sports car series.

Once again, Texas Tech finds itself in a quandary over what to do with a coach allegedly mistreating players.

Don’t think former Tech football coach Mike Leach’s case won’t have any ramifications on Billy Gillispie’s.

One coach exceeds his authority by telling an athletic trainer how to deal with a player diagnosed with a concussion. The other violates NCAA rules on practice time, since acknowledged by the university, and reportedly faces other allegations.

Whatever you make of the seriousness of the charges against Gillispie, the link is inescapable. Both cases deal with the potential abuse of studentathletes.

Fair or not, a pattern emerges, and a nation waits to see how Tech will respond to its latest controversy. From all appearances, it looks like Leach will have company.

Kirby Hocutt, who hired Gillispie, has told him he’s not to have any contact with the program until his health problems are resolved and he has a chance to talk to him about the charges leveled by current and former players, including last season’s leading scorer.

Even if Hocutt were inclined to bring Gillispie back, it’s difficult to imagine that the relationship could be repaired between players and coach.

Not after they’ve gone over his head.

Unless he’s imposed a tougher practice regimen since he shot to fame at UTEP and Texas A&M, Gillispie’s style has been met with increasing resistance. No one complained publicly about the garbage cans set up around the practice floor so exhausted players could, um, relieve themselves at UTEP and Texas A&M. But it didn’t go over at Kentucky — the theory being that blue-chip players didn’t go for blue-collar coaching.

Tech’s roster doesn’t sparkle like UK’s, but the Raiders didn’t like Gillispie’s style any better than the Wildcats did.

Former players and colleagues have come to his defense and remain loyal. But even if Gillispie hasn’t changed over the years, players have, especially basketball players.

They make the rules now.

UConn coach Calhoun reportedly retiring NEW YORK — Connecticut men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun is retiring and plans to announce his decision today, a person familiar with the decision told the Associated Press.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the announcement had not yet been made public.

Assistant coach Kevin Ollie was expected to replace Calhoun, the person said.

Calhoun led the UConn program from obscurity to three national championships, but has struggled recently with health issues, including a fractured hip last month that has forced him to come to work on crutches.

The 70-year-old Calhoun won 873 games in 40 years as a head coach, first at Northeastern and the last 26 years at UConn, and put four teams in the Final Four, winning national titles in 1999, 2004 and 2011.

Calhoun, who was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005, is a three-time cancer survivor and missed eight games last season while suffering from a painful spinal condition.

He returned just four days after having back surgery to coach the Huskies in their regular-season finale and the postseason.

UConn finished the year 20-14, losing to Iowa State in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament. The Huskies are expected to be ineligible for next year’s NCAA and Big East tournaments because of poor academic performance.

In addition to his medical leave, he served a three-game suspension at the start of the Big East season last winter for failing to maintain an atmosphere of compliance in his program, an issued that dated back to recruiting violations in 2008.

And then, last month, he underwent successful surgery to repair a left hip fracture from a bicycle accident. He was cycling near his summer home in Madison when he hit sand and fell, hours before he was to coach former players in a charity game.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Butler guard dismissed INDIANAPOLIS — Butler coach Brad Stevens says junior guard Chrishawn Hopkins has been kicked off the team for violating team rules.

Hopkins, an Indy native, was one of four returning starters from last year’s team. He finished third in scoring with 9.1 points and third in assists (56) in 2011-12 after playing a key role in the Bulldogs’ run to the 2011 NCAA championship game.

Goodell wants bounty meeting WASHINGTON — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell wants to meet with the players whose bounty suspensions were temporarily lifted “as soon as possible.�

Appearing at a hearing on Capitol Hill, Goodell noted Wednesday that the league “offered several times to have them come in as part of the hearing process, the CBA process, and I hope that they’ll do that soon.�

An appeals panel last week overturned the suspensions of Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma (2012 season) and defensive end Will Smith (four games) for their roles in the team’s bounty program from 2009-11. Browns linebacker Scott Fujita got three games and DE Anthony Hargrove, now a free agent, got eight.

The Cincinnati Reds will host the Los Angeles Angels on April 1, becoming the first teams to start their seasons with an interleague matchup. The Reds, the first professional team, celebrate opening day with a parade and have opened all but four seasons at home.

Major League Baseball announced its 2013 preliminary schedule Wednesday, with several format changes caused by the shift of the Houston Astros to the American League. A National League franchise for its first 51 seasons, the Astros start AL play on April 2 when they host cross-state rival Texas.

Houston moves from the NL Central to the AL West, creating six divisions of five teams each.

Under a move announced last November, the Astros will become only the second team since 1900 to switch leagues, following Milwaukee’s entry to the NL for the 1998 season.

PRO HOCKEY

NHL, union exchange offers NEW YORK — While the NHL and its players now agree on what qualifies as hockey-related revenue, the two sides still haven’t figured out how to split up the money the sport generates.

With only three days remaining to work out a new deal before NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman follows through on a vow to lock out the players for the second time in eight years, league executives returned to the bargaining table with the union on Wednesday and traded new proposals.

Self to visit nation’s top-ranked preps

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljwold.com

Julius Randle and Jabari Parker — the Nos. 1- and 2-rated high school basketball prospects in the country by Rivals.com — are playing host to Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self this week.

Self on Wednesday visited top-ranked Randle, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound power

forward from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas. Randle has a list of KU, Baylor, Duke, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas.

Kentucky coach John Calipari visited Randle earlier this week.

“There are a few coaches that Julius is willing to confide in, and that

he reaches out to with questions,” Prestonwood coach Chris Mayberry told Rivals.com. “But, I think that Calipari is by far the one that Julius is most comfortable with.

Comfort in his recruitment is going to be huge, so I think that’s great that Julius and John (Calipari) have that type of early relationship.”

On Friday, Self will

travel to Chicago to visit the home of No. 2-ranked Parker, a 6-8, 220-pound power forward from Simeon High.

Florida coach Billy Donovan on Tuesday visited Parker, who is considering KU, Florida, Brigham Young, DePaul, Duke, Georgetown, Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina and Stanford.

“I am looking for how

Royals rough up Twins Pachall MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Billy Butler had three hits and three RBIs, and the Kansas City Royals’ bullpen picked up struggling starter Luke Hochevar with four scoreless innings in a 10-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.

Hochevar (8-13) won for the first time in eight starts, but he gave up five runs on six hits with four walks and four strikeouts in five innings. Tim Collins pitched two innings before Kevin Herrera and Francisley Bueno finished the game.

P.J. Walters (2-4) gave up six runs on seven hits in four innings and Twins left fielder Ryan Doumit was charged with three errors in the eighth to help the Royals put the game out of reach.

Joe Mauer missed his second straight game because of back spasms for the Twins.

Salvador Perez homered and drove in two runs for the Royals, who sent 10 batters to the plate in their five-run fifth and another nine in a four-run eighth.

Doumit, who has primarily served as the backup catcher to Mauer, has been working his way into left field more often recently to try to keep his bat in the lineup. The acclimation turned ugly in the eighth when he dropped a fly ball from Johnny Giavotella after a long run to the gap, then booted a hard-hit single by Alcides

out of freshman Dodd, sophomores Megan McReynolds, Taylor Hawkins and Alyssa Raye, and junior Alexis Czapinski.

“We have a really young team right now,” Sadosky said, “which is great for the future because they’re only going to improve as time goes on.”

Czapinski, Free State’s No. 1 singles player, continued her strong season with an 8-1 victory against Sarah Wetzel. Sadosky, Dodd and Hawkins won their singles matches as well.

In No. 2 singles, McReynolds had to face Mill Valley’s top player, Wetzel, because the Jaguars’ No. 2 had a scheduling conflict and couldn’t compete. Given the choice of having McReynolds play the Jags’ No. 1 or No. 3 player, Strawderman thought it better to go up than down. Still, he wasn’t upset that Wetzel beat McReynolds, 8-3.

Escobar that allowed a run to score. Doumit’s throw also allowed two runners to advance, giving him a third error in the inning.

It was the second time this season, and fourth since 2010, that a player has committed three errors in one inning, according to STATS LLC. Oakland first baseman Brandon Moss did it in the sixth against San Francisco on June 23.

Denard Span had three hits in his first game in more than two weeks because of a strained right shoulder, and Jamey Carroll drove in three runs for the Twins.

win against the No. 3 girl,” he explained. “All that’s going to do is make Megan a better player. She’s not going to get any better by playing people she can beat every single time.”

FSHS swept in doubles.

Although Sadosky and Dodd typically occupy the No. 1 slot, the dual format allowed Free State’s top two singles players, Czapinski and McReynolds, to play. They cruised, 8-1, in the top slot.

Sadosky and Dodd’s communication made it easy to piece together an 8-4 victory at No. 2 doubles.

Said Sadosky: “We were able to put some balls away.

The No. 3 team of Hawkins and Raye also won their doubles match, 8-4.

At the end of a successful afternoon for FSHS, Strawderman even left happy after seeing the final match go in Mill Valley’s favor. Raye trailed, 7-2, then rallied to win three straight before Eleanor English finished her off, 8-5.

“We just wouldn’t stop fighting,” Strawderman said. “We had lots of good matches and close matches.”

LHS tennis fourth at Topeka J-W Staff Reports

TOPEKA — Lawrence High’s girls tennis team took fourth place, and none of its singles players or doubles teams finished lower than fifth in their brackets Wednesday at the eight-team Topeka Invitational.

The Lions’ No. 2 singles player, sophomore Kendall Pritchard, and their No. 2 doubles team of senior Lily Abromeit and junior Brooke Braman placed third with 3-1 records.

LHS junior Whitney Simons went 2-2 for fourth place in No. 1 singles.

The No. 1 doubles team of Abby Gillam and Zoe Shneider finished 2-2 and placed fifth.

Lawrence coach Chris Marshall said all of the players rebounded at certain points and learned from their mistakes.

“It was a good day,” the coach said. “Everyone, at times, played some really good tennis.”

Seabury tweaks football schedule J-W Staff Reports

Bishop Seabury Academy played its first football game in almost three full years last week. The 38-0 loss at Topeka Cair Paravel hasn’t deterred the Seahawks from adding to this season’s schedule.

Seabury originally had a road game scheduled for

today against St. Mary’s Academy, but coach Aaron Combs and athletic director Eric Nelson worked with St. Mary’s to move that game to Oct. 8.

Instead of having an open week, Seabury looked to add a game and found a willing partner in Independence Home School. That game will be the Seahawks’ home open-

er, and kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday.

Seabury schedule

Sept. 7 — at Cair Paravel, 38-0 L Sept. 14 — Independence Home School, 4 p.m.

Sept. 21 — at Flint Hills Christian, 5 p.m.

defensive backs a fighting chance.

And defensive coordinator Dave Campo said Pachall’s supporting cast of fast and talented wideouts, led by “front-line” junior Josh Boyce, added to the problem.

“Somehow, you have to get him off his mark,” Campo said. “But the option attack and the zone read limit some of the stuff you can do. So you kind of have to pick and choose.

He’s a good enough player that you can’t just sit there and cover.”

On the surface, Pachall

Big 12 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Now the Big 12 faces a decision. The league wasn’t going to make any move that would endanger adding Notre Dame.

Rumored possibilities like Florida State look like long shots. The ACC raised the conference’s buyout to $50 million Wednesday, although FSU voted against the increase.

So is the Big 12 going to

the coaches explain their style of play to Jabari,” Sonny Parker, Jabari’s dad and high school coach, told ESPN.com. “I want to see how the coaches are going to set up a player of Jabari’s size and talent so he can handle the ball on the break and in the half court. Jabari needs to be allowed to make plays.”

Of Parker, ESPN’s Reggie Rankin wrote: “He has

the ability to rebound, lead the break, come off screens, pick and pop to drive or shoot the three.

Not to mention, if his defender is smaller than him, he will attack from the low post, where he has the feel, moves and footwork of an NBA veteran and the basketball IQ to go with it.”

Both Parker and Randle are expected to sign in the spring.

looks more like a roadie for a heavy metal band than a Big 12 quarterback.

But his 2011 stats and 2012 start prove that he can play the position. Ever the motivator, Pachall’s coach said he needed to see more — somehow.

“Last year was last year,” Patterson said.

“Now he has to prove it all over again.”

Lubbock on the mend?

The status of a handful of injured Jayhawks, including starting safety Lubbock Smith, continues to be uncertain as Smith, Kale Pick and Brandon Bourbon have spent much of the week getting treatment and riding exercise bikes at practice.

“All the guys who are

injured are day-to-day,” Campo said after Wednesday’s practice. “My experience has been if a guy doesn’t practice he doesn’t play very well.”

One player who could prove that theory wrong is linebacker Anthony McDonald, a fifth-year senior who may play his first game as a Jayhawk on Saturday.

“He’s come out and done well,” Campo said.

“You can tell that he’s experienced. That’s an example of a guy that hasn’t practiced, but at least he’s a fifth-year guy. He’s seen plays, and he reacts pretty well. I don’t know how much he’s gonna play this week, but he is one that could go out on the field and not embarrass himself.”

stay at 10 members for the foreseeable future?

“I like 10 a lot,” Bowlsby said. “I think our members are like-minded. We have no imperatives to add schools.”

The Big 12 doesn’t need more money with the TV deals. The Champions Bowl agreement with the SEC brought a huge amount of football cache.

When Texas Tech became the last Big 12 school to approve the granting of TV rights Tuesday, conference stability was essentially assured for 13 years.

The Big 12 could still expand. Some Big East schools

(coughLouisvillecough) would love a lifeline. But what would any newcomer bring to the Big 12?

The league has built itself around the round-robin schedule in football and double round-robin in basketball. That would go away with expansion. The last thing most Big 12 members want is a return to the conference football title game.

Imagine if an unbeaten Big 12 team with a guaranteed spot in the upcoming four-team national playoff gets derailed in a title game. It’s all about the easiest playoff path.

Dear Annie: My mom is 67 and pure evil. She manipulates her doctors, who don’t know the real truth. I’ve tried to remain patient and respectful, to no avail.

My mom has pushed everyone away. She has no friends. Since my father died, she’s become severely depressed. I’ve supported her and stood by her after all the evil and hateful things she’s done, but I can’t keep doing it.

Her sister came from Europe after a 30-year absence, and Mom treated her so poorly that my aunt says she’ll never come back. Now my mom has a boyfriend she met online who is 12 years younger. She won’t allow him to speak to his family members.

She’s become physically and verbally abusive toward everyone.

I know she must be mentally ill, but the psychiatrist is only treating

her for depression. Do I need to go to her doctor and explain? — Unhappy Daughter Dear Unhappy: We cannot imagine what would make your mother “pure evil,” but mental illness can cover a lot of difficult behavior.

Some medications that treat depression also alleviate other symptoms, but this doesn’t appear to be the case with Mom. It’s OK for you to notify her psychiatrist’s office that Mom’s behavior is increasingly abusive, but the doctor cannot dis-

Talent contests real and imagined Talent shows come and go tonight, and that doesn’t even include the season opener of “Glee,” which focuses on the arrival of new talents to replace recent graduates.

“America’s Got Talent” (7 p.m., NBC) ends its seventh season and crowns a winner. A pleasant summer distraction, this season’s “Talent” will likely be best remembered as the moment Howard Stern became more of a mentor than a satirist and a bad boy.

Some thought the raunchy radio host might add a little scandal and sizzle to the proceedings, but “Talent” appears to have domesticated the King of All Media. TV talent shows have ways of bringing out the Howie Mandel in all of us.

And speaking of comings and goings, this season will be judge Sharon Osbourne’s last. Her encouraging den mother role will be difficult to replace.

So, with two hours to go, three questions remain: Who will win “America’s Got Talent”? Will he or she become a genuine pop star or merely settle for fleeting celebrity, like most winners of “America’s Next Top Model”? And how will a second episode of “The X Factor” (7 p.m., Fox) affect the ratings for the “Talent” finale?

Questions also surround “Glee” (8 p.m., Fox) as it enters its fourth season. Will viewers embrace a new batch of musical theater brats? Early on, the high school is abuzz with word of competition to be “the new Rachel,” the new star of the glee club that has been propelled into popularity after winning Nationals. Is “Glee” still “Glee” if the kids aren’t social outcasts?

The season opener takes a whole 10 minutes for the kids to burst into song, an impromptu arrangement of “Call Me Maybe” that they arrange behind Mr. Schuester’s back to determine the new group’s lead soloist. They perform seamlessly, without a false step or false note — precisely the brand of musical theater fantasy that makes “Glee” so irresistible — to some.

Tonight’s other highlights

The network that brought us “I Was Impaled” repeats “I’m Pregnant and ... A Nudist” (7 p.m., Discovery Fitness and Health).

“Great Performances” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents Richard Wagner’s “Siegfried.”

New socialites and social climbers arrive on “The Real Housewives of Miami” (8 p.m., Bravo).

Louie embarks on a mission on “Louie” (9:30 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS Actor Richard Kiel is 73. Actress Jean Smart is 61. Actress-comedian Geri Jewell is 56. Rock musician Steve Perkins is 45. Country musician Joe Don Rooney (Rascal Flatts) is 37. Singer Fiona Apple is 35.

cuss the treatment with you unless Mom gives her permission. If you think that’s a possibility, please ask her if you can come along to her next appointment.

Dear Annie: I am a college student working as a nanny for a friend of my father’s. They pay much lower than I usually charge, but I don’t mind helping out.

However, this woman and her husband frequently arrive late. Annie, I don’t mind having to stay for an extra hour or so, but they wait until they are more than an hour late before they call to see whether it’s OK. I have missed several appointments at school because they are never on time, even if they promise to be home by a specific hour.

I hate confrontations, and I like this family, but I am frustrated by their lack of respect for my time. How do I handle

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, Sept. 13: This year the unexpected has become a theme in your life, especially as a partner or loved one tends to express an unpredictable energy. You often feel like you have to start over at square one and crawl your way back up to the top.

This struggle is more symbolic than realistic. If you are single, you could meet someone very special through your work. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy making public appearances together.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Your very playful style attracts quite a few people. Your creativity comes out when you relax and are yourself. Tonight: Love the moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Your principles work. You are able to sustain a great amount of change, even when it is unexpected. Tonight: Home really is your castle.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Keep talking and sharing your feelings. Others might surprise you by their actions and/ or responses. Tonight: Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Unexpected developments force your hand. You’ll see life through new eyes as a result, and humor helps you flow through what could be difficult moments.

Tonight: Go buy yourself that item you love.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You greet life with a smile and a willingness to jump through hoops. How you see a per-

jacquelinebigar.com

sonal situation could change drastically as associates come in with noteworthy ideas. Tonight: Allow your Leo charm to do its magic.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Know when to pull back and say little. The less said, the greater the flexibility you’ll have.

Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Look at what is going on around you. People seek you out.

Tonight: Follow the music.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You cannot get around a certain responsibility that looks like it will have certain aspects that you will need time to figure out. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You must detach or else everything that’s happening around you could get jumbled. You will feel as if your mind is a maze.

Tonight: Why work when you can play?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Someone comes to you with an unexpected proposition.

Listen well, though know that you might block out some details, as you are a bit taken aback. Tonight: One-on-one relating.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You see key people around you being extremely domineering. Let them be — you cannot change them. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) An even pace works, despite your tendency to change topics or actions and head in different directions. You might have to discipline yourself to achieve your day’s goals. Tonight: The time is now.

NOT ONE STEP FARTHER! By Rob Lee

this? — Frustrated Nanny in Florida Dear Nanny: This is your business, not a favor for a friend. Be nice, but be professional about it. Tell these people that you will have to charge more if they are late. Let them know in advance when you have appointments set up, and tell them if they are not back by then, you will have to call a substitute. Insist that they provide the phone number for an available neighbor. You also could say, “I’m so sorry, but I’ll have to stop working for you because I am too often late for appointments.” Remember that no one can take advantage of you without your permission.
