Kansan drops challenge to Obama on state ballot

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — A Kansas man said Friday that he’s dropping his objection to President Barack Obama being listed on the state’s November ballot, a day after top of-

ficials delayed a decision on his challenge and said they wanted to gather additional information.

Joe Montgomery, a 51-yearold Manhattan resident, told the Kansas secretary of state’s office in an email that he and those around him faced “ani-

mosity and intimidation” over his objection to Obama’s candidacy for re-election. Montgomery argues that Obama is not eligible to serve as president and questions whether Obama has a valid birth certificate.

The notion that Obama

was born anywhere other than in Hawaii has long been discredited, and the White House released his longform birth certificate last year. Hawaii officials also have repeatedly confirmed his citizenship. His mother was a Kansas native.

The State Objections Board reviewed Montgomery’s objection Thursday to the president’s candidacy but postponed a decision so the secretary of state’s office could obtain documents Please see OBAMA, page 2A Obama

Tech upgrade will allow live broadcasts of City Commission meetings on the Internet

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Soon a Lawrence City Commission meeting and the Super Bowl will have something in common: They’ll both be in highdefinition and broadcast across the globe.

Crews currently are working to complete a $100,000 project to install at City Hall high definition cameras and technology that will allow the commission’s weekly

The project includes installing five remotecontrolled, high-definition cameras in the ceiling of the City Commission meeting room.

The cameras will be controlled from a new booth that city crews recently built along the north wall of the meeting room. meetings to be broadcast live over the Internet.

“We just decided it was time to do a complete technology upgrade,” said Megan Gilliland, communications manager for the city. “The room hasn’t

had any significant upgrades since the early 1990s.”

TOPEKA — Earlier this week, it was revealed that Kansas was one of only two states that opted out of the federal program that uses funds to build recreational trails.

Hiking and biking enthusiasts were surprised by the move and criticized it, but state officials said the opt out was simply done to increase flexibility in their ability to use federal funds.

On Friday, the state said it will use $2 million in federal funding for recreational trails, which is more, state officials said, than the $1.3 million that state usually spends annually in this endeavor.

The announcement was made by leaders in the Kansas Department of Transportation and Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

“This will help move ecotourism forward in Kansas,” KDOT Secretary Mike King said.

“One of our highest priorities is to enhance ecotourism in Kansas, which includes developing a good trail system,” said Robin Jennison, secretary of the Wildlife, Parks and Tourism department, which manages the

No bomb found at K.C. building after threat

By Heather Hollingsworth Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, MO. — A Missouri man who walked into a downtown Kansas City federal building Friday and set off a bomb scare by saying something about being on the government’s terrorist watch list said it was all a misunderstanding and he is “not in trouble.”

“In fact the FBI treated me very well and they even

took me home to make sure I am safe,” Wahed Moharam, of Grain Valley, told The Associated Press.

“Whoever said, ‘I have a bomb and this,’ is untrue. I never said, ‘I have a bomb’ or anything whatsoever in that manner. Everything was taken and run away to make a story.”

Officers closed off several blocks of traffic near the Richard Bolling Federal Building following the incident, and sent a

County lifts burn ban The burn ban in place for unincorporated Douglas County since July 25 was lifted early Friday afternoon.

Douglas County Commission Chairman Mike Gaughan signed off on removing the ban after County Administrator Craig Weinaug received support from township fire chiefs and the other two commissioners.

Weinaug said that, even though the fire range index has been low recently, he urged county residents to be cautious and “use common sense” when burning materials, particularly if winds or temperatures increase or if drier conditions return.

Obama

Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii that’s available online. Secretary of State Kris Kobach serves as the board’s chairman.

“There has been a great deal of animosity and intimidation directed not only at me, but at people around me, Montgomery wrote in his email, adding that he doesn’t want to burden personal and professional associates with “more of this negative reaction.”

The Objections Board would be the final word on whether Obama appears on the ballot as the Democratic Party’s nominee, absent a court challenge. Kobach and its other members, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, are all Republicans, and Montgomery is a registered Republican, according the secretary of state’s office.

Kobach said the board still will meet Monday to formally close the case and add whatever additional information is available to the record.

“There’s no possibility of Obama’s name coming off the ballot when there’s no objection,” Kobach said.

Kaste said the large-scale response was based on the “initial limited information” police had from witnesses, adding: “The primary concern was for the public’s safety, which made the actions today necessary.”

— Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach cratic Party circulated a fundraising email with the subject line, “Kobach Strikes Again.” Among other things, Democrats criticize Kobach for pushing successfully for a state law requiring proof of U.S. citizenship from people registering to vote for the first time in Kansas, starting next year.

“It stirred up our troops,” said Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman Joan Wagnon.

Some community activists in Topeka also took note. David Brown, a leader of a concerned citizens’ group, said it will watch election officials.

“I don’t think it’s closed,” he said.

Montgomery not only questions the validity of Obama’s birth certificate but argues that Obama wouldn’t be eligible to serve as president anyway because his father was from Kenya. That’s another argument circulating on the Internet and among members of the socalled birther movement.

He did not return telephone or email messages seeking further comment Friday.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD Chuck Henderson, a member of the Flint Hills Tea Party in Manhattan, said “it’s a pity” Montgomery withdrew his objection. Henderson attended Thursday’s board meeting and believes Montgomery presented a strong case.

“He’s no right-wing extremist,” Henderson said. “He’s just somebody who’s picked up on stuff.”

Montgomery declined Thursday to disclose his employer, saying he’d filed the objection as a private citizen. However, Kansas State University confirmed Friday that he works as the communications coordinator for its College of Veterinary Medicine, a position financed privately through its nonprofit, fundraising arm, the Kansas State University Foundation.

Jeff Morris, the university’s vice president for communications and marketing, said that Montgomery is acting as a private citizen, and the university respects his free speech rights.

“We have people on campus with lots of different political views,” he said.

Kobach and the other board members faced criticism for delaying a decision to reject Montgomery’s objection. Kansas Democrats labeled it frivolous, and an attorney for Obama’s campaign said in a letter that the allegations were “tired” and “utterly baseless.”

meetings on Channel 25 will continue, and Gilliland said the new system will more easily allow the city to run replays of the meetings on Channel 25. The changes, however, mean city employees will be responsible for filming the meeting. Gilliland said she is creating an internship program with Kansas University to get film students to produce the broadcasts.

The cameras likely will not be the most noticeable addition to the City Commission chambers.

The project also includes installing two 70-inch flat panel monitors and one 80-inch flat panel monitor

that will be used to display documents, images, video clips and other information presented at the meetings.

The system also includes equipment that is expected to improve the sound quality for commissioners and audience members in the room. Recently, several meetings have had sound issues where various microphones have been unusable.

Gilliland said she hopes to begin broadcasting with the new equipment by late September.

The federal funding is part of federal transportation bill that was approved this summer. Kansas will receive $366 million in federal transportation funding for the 2012 federal fiscal year, which is down from the $399 million it received in 2011.

Of the amount Kansas will receive, $10.3 million was earmarked for what are called transportation alternative projects, officials said. Of the $10.3 million, the feds said $1.3 million was to be spent on recreational trails, or states could opt out of

that program and decide for themselves how much to spend.

Kansas and Florida opted out.

Kansas officials then decided to spend more than $1.3 million on trails.

“KDOT and KDWPT worked to come up with a way to prioritize the amount of money that should be applied to recreational trails and determined that $2 million is the appropriate level,” said Transportation Secretary King.

Moharam had been out of the witness protection program for several years before an ex-wife disclosed that fact on a website in 2001. The Chiefs confirmed it with federal authorities and learned his testimony had been central to the case, meaning there were people who may still want to harm him.

Chiefs officials told The Kansas City Star in 2003 that they felt his presence — in full “Helmet Man” regalia — could make him an easy target and endanger fans, so they offered to rotate his season tickets to different spots and asked him to stop dressing up. When he refused, they said, they had no choice but to revoke his tickets.

1 dead in shooting between Royals, Chiefs stadiums KANSAS CITY, MO. — A man shot and wounded a female parking lot employee Friday between the stadiums that are home to the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals before killing himself, police said.

Officers were called to a

parking area between Arrowhead Stadium and Kauffman Stadium at 3:23 p.m. Friday, said Kansas City, Mo., police Sgt. Stacey Graves.

Graves said the woman was taken to a hospital in critical condition. Officers found the man in a car, dead

of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot. The pair were both in their 40s and knew each other, but police did not elaborate on their relationship. Their names were not immediately released.

Witnesses said the man drove into the area in a

silver Cadillac, several shots were fired and the man then turned the gun on himself in the car.

The shooting took place several hours before the scheduled start of the Royals’ game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Kansas Public Radio celebrating 60 years on air It’s progressed from teaching painting over the airwaves to being a major player in Kansas media.

At 1:15 p.m. on Sept. 15, 1952, KANU went on the air for the first time. Now Kansas Public Radio, it’s been on the air since.

The station’s licence has always been owned by Kansas University, and in 1971 the station became part of the original network of National Public Radio affiliates.

Throughout the year, KPR will have special events celebrat-

ing its diamond anniversary. At 2 p.m. today, it will broadcast a special concert by “Jazz Scene” host David Basse on 91.5 FM in Lawrence. More information about anniversary events can be found at http://bit.ly/Qpi7ZW. KPR hosts and staff say the

station’s longevity is due to lasting support.

“We’ve come an awful long way in 60 years — that’s due in large part to our audience,” media manager Phil Wilke said. “We look forward to the next 60.”

Rec center puzzle involves many pieces and players

By Dolph C. Simons Jr.

For some people, one of the best ways to get their minds off of everyday troubles or pressures is to work on a jigsaw puzzle.

Jigsaw puzzles consist of hundreds, sometimes more than 1,000 pieces, of differentcolored and different-shaped pieces of thin cardboard, which, when fitted together, form an attractive picture, like a landscape, flowers or other multicolored scene. So far, there hasn’t been a jigsaw depicting a large multipurpose recreation center.

For the past several months, Lawrence residents have had a different kind of jigsaw puzzle laid before them with many different interests, goals, price tags and players. When all these interests are studied and put together, they hopefully would present an attractive picture that would be good for Lawrence and its residents.

This unique jigsaw puzzle should be titled “Lawrence Recreation Center,” with Lawrence residents and Lawrence city commissioners given the responsibility of fitting the various pieces together to end up with an attractive, workable, efficient and affordable “picture” that will meet the needs of the city.

The “pieces” of this puzzle do

not number in the hundreds or thousands, but how this puzzle is put together will affect hundreds of thousands of individuals.

Various parts of the puzzle could be colored or shaped to portray their degree of interest or significance in the overall recreation center. The players are:

Duane Schwada, a successful Lawrence developer known as a tough negotiator but someone who always follows through on his commitments. Schwada initially offered the city, free of charge, 50 acres at the northwest corner of Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway.

This was to serve as a site for the city to build a recreation center for local needs and for basketball and volleyball tournaments.

Thomas Fritzel, a Lawrence developer, who joined the Schwada effort but was not part of the original Schwada plan.

He inserted himself into the Schwada site by telling city officials if they wanted any Kansas University involvement in the project, he was the only one who could deliver KU.

KU basketball coach Bill Self and his Assists Foundation. Self has expressed interest in helping fund and develop a large basketball complex that could accommodate regional and national high school and

AAU tournaments, as well as provide a number of basketball courts for use by local residents.

Thomas Fritzel in another role. This week, Fritzel announced he would be developing a site directly east and across the highway from Schwada’s site. This would be the location for KU track, soccer and softball facilities.

COMMENTARY

KU Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger. Zenger and Kansas Athletics have an agreement with Fritzel to build and finance the university facilities over a 30-year period.

The KU Endowment Association. Although no KUEA officials have made a formal announcement, Zenger has said an unnamed individual made a generous financial gift to the KUEA. The KUEA is to buy the land to be used as the location for the new KU facilities with Fritzel as the developer.

It would be interesting to learn whether naming rights are included in the gift as they are in any other gifts to the KUEA.

The residents of Lawrence.

This is the largest and most important group of players in the entire recreation center story.

What do Lawrence residents want? Do they want a city rec-

reation center designed for Lawrence and area residents, particularly the young people of Lawrence? Or do they want a much larger facility and partnership with KU Athletics?

Is the location of this facility of concern to Lawrence residents?

How about the cost to Lawrence taxpayers to build the center? Is it right for Kansas to dictate where and what kind of recreation facility Lawrence should have? Is it imperative that the proposed basketball complex, which would be partially funded by the Self foundation, be located near the KU athletic facilities, or could it be placed at another site? Will KU officials or Fritzel allow open bidding for their new facilities or has an agreement been made that Fritzel will be the only builder?

Lawrence city commissioners. These five individuals will make the final decision, hopefully with one goal in mind: What is in the best interests of the ENTIRE Lawrence community and at what cost?

These are the major players, along with some of the questions surrounding the project that need to be answered. Other questions include whether it is better to have six, eight or more basketball courts in a single location or to have clusters of courts at various sites throughout the community.

Lawrence is putting together a fairly large and expensive list

of projects to meet current and future needs: a new city library, $40 million for Lawrence police staff and facilities improvements, a new waste-water plant, probably new or expanded water treatment facilities and perhaps other major needs.

The KUEA is a totally independent entity, and KUEA officials have the right to allocate funds wherever they think they are in the best interest of building a better university. There are bound to be some who will question whether, in these economic times, it is better to spend money to buy land for a sports development or to spend the same money on academic and research salaries and facilities.

But it should be remembered individuals can make, and have made, generous contributions to the KUEA for specific purposes such as scholarship halls, museum acquisitions, student scholarships, faculty travel, books for the libraries — or athletic buildings or to buy land they think would be valuable for the university.

The Lawrence recreation center puzzle may now have another name to identify the development with the Zenger/ Kansas Athletics involvement, but whatever the name, it will be interesting, probably fascinating, or perhaps troubling, to see how the puzzle is put together.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT

Eudora police have few new details to release about a “suspicious device” found and later detonated Thursday afternoon at the Greenway Apartment complex, 1516 Greenway Drive, said Sgt. Chris Casagrande.

“Right now, we’re just in a holding pattern,” he said.

Casagrande did not release any more specific information about the device, which was taken from the apartment manager’s office Thursday about 1 p.m. The Leavenworth County bomb squad detonated it about 4:30 p.m.

Casagrande said the remaining materials will be tested, and officers are working a couple of leads.

But he said it could take a week before new details emerge publicly.

DOUGLAS COUNTY DISTRICT COURT A 38-year-old Lawrence man was acquitted of one charge of theft but convicted on a count of domestic battery Friday by a Douglas County jury.

Gary D. Perkins was found not guilty for his involvement in a Feb. 29 theft in the 4600 block of West Sixth Street. The domestic battery conviction stemmed from an incident in May. Perkins’ trial, which was heard in Douglas County District Judge Sally Pokorny’s courtroom, began Wednesday morning.

BRIEFLY Eudora fire chief has resigned Eudora Fire Chief Chris Moore has resigned, effective Friday, said Eudora City Administrator John Harrenstein.

In his letter of resignation, Moore said, “At the conclusion of the strategic planning process it became clear to me that the needs of the fire department require a full-time chief to effectively serve the community.”

On Friday, Harrenstein announced that Pete Feyerabend, a five-year member of the department, was hired as acting fire chief, until the department hires a permanent chief.

“I am pleased to have a man of Pete’s caliber serving as acting fire chief,” Harrenstein said. “His commitment to the department and to the community reflects a passion for service.”

The announcement comes two days after Harrenstein announced that David Burger, a former undersheriff with the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, was named interim Eudora police chief, following the resignation on Sept. 7 of the previous chief, Grady Walker.

First of two city compost sales today The first of two city of Lawrence compost sales this fall will be today.

Today’s sale is for residents who will load compost into their truck or trailer themselves. The second sale, Sept. 29, will be for residents who would like city staff to load compost into their truck or trailer.

Both sales will be from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the city’s Wood Recovery and Composting Facility, 1420 E. 11th St. The Sept. 29 sale may end early if supplies run out.

The city scheduled two different sales this year to allow residents who need a smaller amount of compost to pick it up before supplies run out, according to a news release from Kathy Richardson, the city’s waste reduction and recycling operations supervisor.

Compost will cost $10 per truck or trailer load at both of the sales. Residents must pay with cash. At today’s sale, small quantities will be available for free, and residents must bring a shovel.

The compost offered comes from the city’s weekly collection of residential yard waste.

Counties try to recoup losses from DMV system

TOPEKA (AP) — The state plans to reimburse Kansas counties for some of the costs incurred after a new motor vehicle system was installed, but some county officials say it won’t be enough to recoup thousands of dollars spent on overtime and hiring new employees to deal with the problems.

The system to help drivers renew license tags and register their cars caused long delays and lines at motor vehicle offices across the state since it was introduced in May. While state officials insist most of the problems have eased and the system has improved efficiency, county officials told KU business school some a legislative committee warns about scam Thursday that problems persist.

“

The taxpayers still are the ones who are being held hostage. They’ve got the increased waits, and they’re seeing less services. It’s not benefiting taxpayers at this point.”

— Johnson County Commissioner Calvin Hayden apologized and apologized for May and June and the technical problems that we experienced,” Jordan said. “We think we’re on a better path now.”

He said the system is processing more transactions and it takes less time to process each transaction.

But some county officials say they continue to incur costs. Johnson County Treasurer Tom Thomas Franzen is considering raising county fees by $2 for registering and titling vehicles. He’s trying to get support for the idea, which would need legislative approval.

Johnson County has spent $72,000 for overtime since the new system started in May, a 138 percent increase over the same period the year before. That increases to $132,000 if $60,000 is included for police security.

Wyandotte County spent $21,600 in overtime, plus it plans to give

employees another 662 hours of compensatory time for the extra hours they worked. Sedgwick County spent $67,615 for overtime in the motor vehicle office from May to August, more than eight times what it spent the year before.

And Marsha Ralston, manager of the Shawnee County treasurer’s office, told The Topeka Capital-Journal that the system continues to present daily problems and she is “frustrated to the point of tears” some days.

“It has taken a lot of patience with the system,” Ralston said. “I don’t see an end in sight.”

Johnson County is adding 16 people to the treasurer’s office at a cost of about $800,000. Wyandotte County is adding four employees at a cost of about $200,000.

The county officials believe the state should pay those costs.

“It was their project and it didn’t go well,” said Mike Taylor, spokesman for Wyandotte County’s Unified Government.

fought the Cold War so we wouldn’t have to learn the metric system.)

In fact, lots of people are going to run through downtown and east Lawrence while people throw some type of color solution on them. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you must have been living underneath some type of black and white rock for the last several months.

The event is called a Color Run, and it is quite a craze. In fact, it now appears certain that Lawrence’s Color Run on Oct. 6 will be the largest single race ever held in the city.

Bob Sanner with the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau told me that 5,000 people already have signed up to participate in the event.

For a bit of perspective, the Lawrence Half Marathon, which is a big event, attracts around 2,500 participants.

Thus far, the Color Run has been adding about 1,000 new participants per week, so Sanner believes 8,000 people is a very likely possibility and there is even a chance for 10,000 runners to be in downtown Lawrence on Oct. 6.

Think about that for a second: 10,000 people invading downtown Lawrence for a 4 o’clock race on a Saturday afternoon, and all of them expecting to get plastered with some type of cornstarchlike color solution. There have been a lot of crazy sights in downtown on a Saturday, but this is likely to rank pretty high on the list.

And yes, this is Lawrence, so it would be hard to have an athletic event without beer. (I knew there was a reason I never left this town after college.) The 900 block of New Hampshire Street will be closed for a good part of the afternoon and evening of Oct. 6 to accommodate the finish line for the race and the starting line for the after-party for the event.

URU: Upcycled, RePurposed, Up-Styled has opened at 1113 Mass., in the former home of Vagabond Book Shop. The shop has all kinds of items that it sells on consignment and through rented booths.

But it is working to carve a niche as a place where people take ordinary things and turn them into something less than ordinary.

For example, one vendor sells purses made out of plastic grocery bags.

The bags go through some sort of process where they are infused, and then they are molded into plastic purses.

There are also more traditional items like hand-crafted jewelry and antiques, said Brittany Bengel, who manages the store that is owned by her mother, Sharmain Saldan.

LAWRENCE

.

Bengel said her mother is the former owner of an antique mall in California, and then began selling heavily online.

“We just try to have an eclectic mix of everything,” Bengel said.

The store is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

A Douglas County horse farm soon may become home to a therapeutic ranch for adults and children with autism.

The Kansas City-area based Mid-America Association for Autistic Training and Research has filed plans with the Planning Department to operate a therapeutic ranch on 31 acres just south of Lawrence.

The association is seeking to locate on a portion of the Coal Creek Farms property at 1674 N. 1000 Road. Rick Andrews of Coal Creek Farms told me the group is working in conjunction with Coal Creek to develop the property and have it rezoned from agriculture to rural tourism.

According to the filed plans, the association plans to use existing indoor riding arena and stables. It also proposes building about four guest cabins, but the plans indicate the property likely will not host large groups of people at once because people with autism often do better in smaller groups.

Plans also call for construction of a small activity center and “country store” that would sell items made or grown by the farm’s autistic guests.

But the main purpose of the property, it appears from the plans, is to give both autistic adults, children and their caregivers a chance to get out in a rural setting.

Several people have passed along complaints that their Knology email accounts largely have not been working for more than 24 hours, and they weren’t getting many answers about what the problems were.

Well, I did get in touch with a spokeswoman with WOW — the parent company of Knology — out in the Denver area.

As of Thursday evening, WOW spokeswoman Erica Stull said she believed most of the issues with the email system had been corrected. She said the problems arose when WOW began to switch the email from a Knology platform over to a new platform. She said her understanding was that the email service, while not completely down, was unreliable for about a 24hour period.

“We have had engineers and personnel working on it around the clock,” Stull said.

My understanding is that the system would allow people with Knology email accounts to receive email but not send email, or perhaps vice versa or a little bit of both at times.

Mother Earth News, which is based in Topeka, has named Lawrence one of its eight “Great Places You’ve (Maybe) Never Heard Of.” (If you are reading this column and have never heard of Lawrence, we’re going to have to talk about getting you off your bar stool a little more often.)

The magazine notes that Lawrence has a real appreciation for sustainable and healthy living, even going so far to compare our enthusiasm for Jayhawk basketball to our enthusiasm for local food and farmers markets. (Indeed, I have been known to climb a light pole on Massachusetts Street when homegrown tomatoes start showing up in the garden.)

The magazine also touts Lawrence in several other ways, including:

A rich history as the “epicenter of pre-Civil War abolitionism.”

Cultural opportunities at Haskell Indian Nations University and KU.

The Merc’s market and deli section of locally produced foods.

And the city’s “generations long history” of producing hydroelectric power via the Bowersock Dam. That last one was particularly interesting to me.

I’m predicting Lawrence will try to make a major effort to publicize itself as a unique green community as the new Bowersock hydroelectric power plant opens on the north bank of the Kansas River. And this is unofficial — because I haven’t gotten word yet from Bowersock leaders — but I think that project is significantly ahead of schedule. News of it starting to produce electricity could come sooner rather than later.

Anyway, you can read all about Lawrence in the October-November issue of Mother Earth News.

The other cities on the list of “Great Places You’ve (Maybe) Never Heard Of” include: Charleston, S.C.; Denton, Texas; Dover, N.H.; Golden, Colo.; Hilo, Hawaii; Port Townsend, Wash.; and Red Lodge, Mont. (I hadn’t heard of Port Townsend or Red Lodge, but I’m not going to spend any less time on a bar stool.)

While we’re talking about Bowersock, here’s a chance to control a rumor before it gets started. Soon (I don’t think it already has happened) a small grove of about dozen trees or so immediately east of the new Bowersock plant will be cut down.

But no, the tree cutting doesn’t have anything to do with the new power plant. Instead, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently inspected the city’s Kansas River levee.

The Corps said the trees and their invasive roots needed to be removed to prevent damage to the levee.

The tree cutting also won’t extend farther to the east, where there are acres

of trees that have grown in between the river and the levee.

Matt Bond, the city engineer who oversees levee maintenance, told me most of the trees that will be cut are less than 12 inches in diameter.

He said the Corps’ report also recommended removing a “handful” of scattered trees that are on the north side of the levee. But Bond said he wants to further review that finding, and may challenge it. The trees on the north side of the levee, although, they technically are in an easement, likely provide some benefit to the houses that back up to the levee. Bond said he would want to be convinced that the trees are causing a true threat to the levee before ordering them to be cut down.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS RALLYING Thursday at Chicago’s Congress Plaza protest against billionaire Hyatt Hotel mogul Penny Pritzker, who is also a member of the Chicago Board of Education. Protesters said that $5.2 million in Tax Increment Financing funds being used to build a new Hyatt hotel in Hyde Park would be better spent on meeting basic student needs.

‘Framework’ in place to end Chicago strike

By Don Babwin and Tammy Webber Associated Press

CHICAGO — The city’s nearly weeklong teachers strike appeared headed toward a resolution Friday after negotiators emerged from marathon talks to say they had achieved a “framework” that could end the walkout in time for students to return to class Monday.

Both sides were careful not to describe the deal as a final agreement and declined to release the terms. They expected to spend the weekend working out details before union delegates are asked to vote Sunday on whether to call off the strike.

School Board President David Vitale said

the “heavy lifting” was over after long hours of talks placed “frameworks around all the major issues.”

Union President Karen Lewis agreed, saying there were no “main sticking points right now.” But she reiterated that there is also no contract yet and the strike remains in full effect. Despite the apparent progress, she said, the union is still suspicious of the board after being burned in the past.

The walkout has been a potent display of union power at a time when organized labor has been losing ground around the nation. The negotiations have been closely followed by many other unions and school districts that face the same issues about the

future of urban education, particularly teacher evaluations linked to student test scores and the threat of school closures.

In a statement, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the framework “is an honest and principled compromise” that “preserves more time for learning in the classroom, provides more support teachers to excel at their craft and gives principals the latitude and responsibility to build an environment in which our children can succeed.”

Robert Bloch, an attorney for the union, called it “one of the most difficult labor contracts negotiated in decades.” He said many of the core issues had been worked out “but not all of them.”

Texas, N.D., Ohio campuses evacuated after bomb threats

By Jim Vertuno Associated Press

AUSTIN, TEXAS — Thousands of people streamed off three college campuses Friday after bomb threats prompted officials to issue evacuation orders for schools in Texas, North Dakota and Ohio.

The campuses of the University of Texas at Austin and North Dakota State University in Fargo had been deemed safe by early afternoon, and authorities were working to determine whether those threats were related. A third evacuation order for much-smaller Hiram College in northeast Ohio was issued hours later but lifted Friday night after a sweep found nothing suspicious.

The threats on the cam-

puses in Texas and North Dakota ended as false alarms after tens of thousands of people followed urgently worded evacuation orders, one of which some worried didn’t come fast enough.

Both of those campuses emptied at quick but orderly paces Friday morning, though students acknowledged an air of confusion about what was going on. The threats coming as violent protests outside U.S. embassies in the Middle East also stirred nervous tension among some students, and Texas officials acknowledged global events were taken into account.

The first threat came around 8:35 a.m. to the University of Texas from a man claiming to belong to al-Qaida, officials said.

The caller claimed bombs placed throughout campus would go off in 90 minutes, but administrators waited more than an hour before blaring sirens on the campus of 50,000 students and telling them to immediately “get as far away as possible” in emergency text messages.

Authorities said they started searching buildings for explosives before the alert was issued.

North Dakota State University President Dean Bresciani said about 20,000 people left the Fargo school’s campuses as part of an evacuation “that largely took place in a matter of minutes.” FBI spokesman Kyle Loven said NDSU received a call about 9:45 a.m. that included a “threat of an explosive device.”

Topless tempest: Kate photos in French magazine spark palace fury

By Gregory Katz Associated Press

LONDON — Paparazzi, French media and a British royal: The publication of topless photos of Prince William’s wife, Kate, has reunited the same players whose clash ended with the untimely death of his mother, Princess Diana, in a Parisian car crash.

William, who has long harbored a grudge against the paparazzi who chased Diana in the days and hours leading up to her 1997 death, was clearly infuriated. The royal couple hit back with an immediate lawsuit against the popular French gossip magazine Closer, which is owned by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s Mondadori publishing empire.

The blurry photos, called a “grotesque” abuse of privacy by royal of-

ficials, show Kate — the Duchess of Cambridge — wearing only a skimpy bikini bottom. They are the first to show Britain’s likely future queen with her bosom exposed.

St. James’s Palace officials sharply criticized the magazine moments after the photos hit French newsstands, comparing the intrusion on the young couple’s privacy to the tragic paparazzi pursuit of Diana, which many believe was a contributing factor in her early death on Aug. 31, 1997.

The parallels between the past and the present were eerie. Diana was hounded by paparazzi who took telephoto shots of her vacationing on a yacht with her boyfriend Dodi and tailed them relentlessly in Paris.

Earlier this month, a photographer with a similar long lens captured Kate

and William relaxing in the sun at a private estate in Provence, a vacation spot near the French Riviera.

Instead of challenging the authenticity of the blurry photos, palace officials said they appear genuine — and should never have been taken, much less published.

“The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so,” a St. James’s Palace official in London said in a statement.

The British media — chastened by a deep scandal over phone hacking and other misdeeds — all shied away from using the photos. That restraint came even though Rupert Murdoch’s The Sun tabloid is famed for its daily “Page 3” topless shots.

Anger for Islam ties players behind anti-Muslim film

By Michael R. Blood Associated Press

PALESTINIAN HAMAS SUPPORTERS BURN a U.S. flag during a protest Friday in Gaza City as part of widespread anger across the Muslim world about a film ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Violence erupts at protests

By Aya Batrawy and Lee Keath Associated Press

CAIRO — Fury over an anti-Islam film spread across the Muslim world Friday, with deadly clashes near Western embassies in Tunisia and Sudan, an American fast-food restaurant set ablaze in Lebanon, and international peacekeepers attacked in the Sinai despite an appeal for calm from Egypt’s Islamist president.

At least four people — all protesters — were killed and dozens were wounded in the demonstrations in more than 20 countries from the Middle East to Southeast Asia.

Most were peaceful but they turned violent in several nations, presenting challenges for the leaders who came to power in the Arab Spring.

Security forces worked to rein in the anti-American crowds but appeared to struggle in doing so.

Police in Cairo prevented stone-throwing protesters from getting near the U.S. Embassy, firing tear gas and deploying armored vehicles in a fourth day of clashes in the Egyptian capital. One person died there after being shot by rubber bullets.

The State Department said U.S. Embassy personnel were reported to be safe in Tunisia, Sudan and Yemen — sites of Friday’s violent demonstrations.

President Barack Obama said Washington would “stand fast” against attacks on U.S. embassies around the world.

He spoke at a somber ceremony paying tribute to four Americans — including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens — killed earlier this week when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was stormed by militants who may have used protests of the anti-Muslim film to stage an assault on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

An elite Marine rapid response team arrived in Yemen’s capital of Saana, where local security forces shot live rounds in the air and fired tear gas at a crowd of an estimated 2,000 protesters who were kept about a block

away from the U.S. Embassy, which protesters broke into the day before.

In east Jerusalem, Israeli police stopped a crowd of about 400 Palestinians from marching on the U.S. Consulate to protest the film. Demonstrators threw bottles and stones at police, who responded by firing stun grenades.

Four protesters were arrested.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton had tried to pre-empt the violence a day earlier by saying the rage and violence aimed at American diplomatic missions was prompted by “an awful Internet video that we had nothing to do with.”

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi went on national TV and appealed to Muslims not to attack embassies.

It was his first public move to restrain protesters after days of near silence and appeared aimed at easing tensions with the United States.

The United Nations Security Council released a press statement late Friday condemning “in the strongest terms” the violence, saying “the very nature of diplomatic premises is peaceful and ... diplomats have among their core functions the promotion of better understanding across countries and cultures.”

But the demonstrators came out after weekly Friday prayers. Many clerics in their mosque sermons urged congregations to defend their faith, denouncing the obscure movie “Innocence of Muslims” that was produced in the United States that denigrated the Prophet Muhammad.

In addition to countries where protests have occurred, U.S. embassies around the world, including in France and Austria, issued alerts Friday advising Americans to review their personal security measures and warning them that demonstrations may occur and may turn violent. Other embassies issuing alerts included Mauritania and India.

More than 50 U.S. embassies and consulates had released similar alerts Thursday.

DUARTE, CALIF. — The shared belief that radical Islam threatens the world brought together an exconvict, an insurance salesman and a Christian charity in production of a crudely crafted film that ridicules Muslims and the prophet Muhammad and has incited violent protests across the Middle East.

Media for Christ, a nonprofit that raised more than $1 million last year “to glow Jesus’ light” to the world, was listed as the production company for the film.

Steve Klein, a California insurance salesman and Vietnam War veteran who has spent years protesting at mosques and espousing hatred of radical Muslims, acted as the film’s promoter.

And Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who authorities say has used multiple names and was convicted of bank fraud, says he managed logistics for the film.

Federal authorities have identified Nakoula as the key figure behind the film.

A federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Thursday that authorities had connected Nakoula to a man using the pseudonym of Sam Bacile who claimed earlier to be writer and director of the film.

Most of “Innocence of Muslims” was shot in about two weeks inside a squat warehouse that serves as the offices of Media for Christ, according to Eric Moers, who served as chief electrician for the production.

What prompted Media for Christ’s involvement isn’t known because the organizations’ leaders have not spoken publicly.

Libya attack victims honored ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, MD. — President Barack Obama on Friday honored the four Americans killed in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya, recalling their lives in deeply personal terms and declaring the United States will never pull back on its principles or “retreat from the world.”

“Their sacrifice will never be forgotten,” Obama said as four flag-draped cases rested near him. He had come to witness the return of those slain in the assault on the American diplomatic mission, including the U.S. ambassador, Chris Stevens.

In the heat of a presidential election year, the scene was a gripping reminder of the danger facing Americans in diplomatic and military service every day, and of the turmoil in an incendiary region of the world that continues to test Obama’s leadership.

And much about the film remains a mystery, notably who financed it.

Media for Christ, which produces a program called “The Way TV,” reported spending nearly $650,000 on “TV recording production” in 2011. But the organization did not break down those costs so it’s unclear if any of that money was spent on the film.

The clumsily produced movie, which looks like a spoof, alternately portrays Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a child molester. Despite its poor production value, the film would have cost at least tens of thousands of dollars to make because of the equipment used and the professional actors and stage hands who were hired.

The permit, issued by Film LA, could have cost under $1,000 though details aren’t known because the document has been sealed at the request of federal law enforcement officials.

Moers said the film took 15 to 16 days to shoot and 90 percent of the work was done at the Media for Christ studios. He said one day was spent at a movie ranch in Santa Clarita, and one day was spent filming at the home of the man he knew as Bacile.

Most of the film was shot using a backdrop to simulate other locations. The crew members received sheets with the scenes each day — never a full script — and Moers said there was no mention of the word “Muhammad” throughout the filming. Other actors have come forward to say references to Muhammad were dubbed after the film was shot and they had no idea the film would be so denigrating.

Administration warns of ‘destructive’ cuts

By Andrew Taylor Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A White House report issued Friday warns that $109 billion in across-the-board spending cuts at the start of the new year would be “deeply destructive” to the military and core government responsibilities like patrolling U.S. borders and air traffic control.

The report says the automatic cuts, mandated by the failure of last year’s congressional deficit “supercommittee” to strike a budget deal, would require an across-the-board cut of 9 percent to most Pentagon programs and 8 percent in many domestic programs. The process of automatic cuts is called sequestration, and the administration has no flexibility in how to distribute the cuts, other than to exempt military personnel and war-fighting accounts.

“Sequestration would be deeply destructive to national security, domestic investments and core government functions,” the report says.

The cuts, combined with the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts at the end of the year, have been dubbed the “fiscal cliff.”

Economists warn that the one-two punch could drive the economy back into recession.

The across-the-board cuts were devised as part of last summer’s budget and debt deal between President Barack Obama and Capitol Hill Republicans. They were intended to drive the supercommittee — evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans — to strike a compromise. But the panel deadlocked and the warring combatants have

“

No amount of planning can mitigate the effect of these cuts. Sequestration is a blunt and indiscriminate instrument. It is not the responsible way for our nation to achieve deficit reduction.”

— White House report on $109 billion in spending cuts set to begin at the start of the new year spent more time since then blaming each other for the looming cuts than seeking ways to avoid them.

The White House report continues in that vein, blasting House Republicans for an approach to avoiding the sequester that relies on further cuts to domestic programs while protecting upperbracket taxpayers from higher rates proposed by the president.

In advance of the report’s release, White House press secretary Jay Carney went on the offensive, blasting “the adamant refusal of Republicans to accept the fundamental principle that we ought to deal with our fiscal challenges in a balanced way.”

Republicans are trying to cast any blame for a possible sequester squarely on Obama, saying it was the White House’s idea during last summer’s budget negotiations — an argument that fails to acknowledge that GOP leaders backed the idea at the time and all voted for it.

In advance of the election, rival Democratic and GOP sides are dug in, unwilling to make the required compromises and unable to trust the other side. It’s commonly assumed that there will be more serious efforts to forestall the cuts in a postelection lame duck session, though it may only be for a short time, to give the next

Congress and whoever occupies the White House a chance to work out a longer-term solution.

If not, sharp cuts are on the way.

The report warns that the Pentagon faces cuts that “would result in a reduction in readiness of many nondeployed units, delays in investments in new equipment and facilities, cutbacks in equipment repairs, declines in military research and development efforts and reductions in base services for military families.”

On the domestic front, the White House warns of dire effects as well.

“The number of Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, Customs and Border Patrol agents, correctional officers and federal prosecutors would be slashed. The Federal Aviation Administration’s ability to oversee and manage the nation’s airspace and air traffic control would be reduced,” the report says. “The Department of Agriculture’s efforts to inspect food processing plants and prevent foodborne illnesses would be curtailed.”

Many big programs, like Social Security, Medicaid, federal employee pensions and veterans’ benefits and health care would be exempted. Medicare would be limited to an $11 billion, 2 percent cut in provider payments.

Also cut would be $14 million to treat emergen-

Rising gas prices crimp spending

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Higher gas prices are crimping consumer spending and slowing the already-weak U.S. economy. And they could get worse in the coming months.

The Federal Reserve this week took steps to boost economic growth. But those stimulus measures are also pushing oil prices up. If gas prices follow, consumers will have less money to spend elsewhere.

The impact of the Fed’s actions “is likely to weigh on the value of the U.S. dollar and lift commodity prices,” said Joseph Carson, U.S. economist at AllianceBernstein. “We would not be surprised if (it) fueled more inflation in coming months, squeezing the real income of U.S. workers.”

Americans are already feeling pinched by high unemployment, slow wage growth and higher gas prices.

Consumers increased their spending at retail businesses by 0.9 percent in August, the Commerce Department reported Friday. But that was largely because they paid more for gas. Excluding the impact of gas prices and a sizeable increase in auto sales, retail sales rose just 0.1 percent.

Perhaps more telling is where Americans spent less. Consumers cut back on clothing, electronics and at general merchan-

dise outlets — discretionary purchases that typically signal confidence in the economy.

Gas prices have risen more than 50 cents per gallon in the past two months. The national average was $3.87 a gallon on Friday. Most of the increase took place in August, which drove the biggest one-month increase in overall consumer prices in three years, the Labor Department said Friday in a separate report.

“Consumers were not willing to spend much at the mall since they are feeling the pump price pinch,” said Chris Christopher, an economist at IHS Global Insight.

Weaker retail sales will likely weigh on growth in the July-September quarter. Economists at Bank of America Merrill Lynch slashed their third-quarter growth forecast to an annual rate of only 1.1 percent, down from 1.5 percent. That’s not nearly fast enough to spur more hiring, which has languished since February.

The Fed is hoping to kickstart growth with a series of bold steps announced Thursday that could make borrowing cheaper for years. It plans to spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds to make home buying more affordable. It also pledged to keep short-term interest rates near zero through at least mid-2015.

cy responders and others made ill as a result of the 9/11 attacks; $33 million for federal prosecution of violent crimes against women; and $2.5 billion for medical research and other work by the National Institutes of Health.

“No amount of planning can mitigate the effect of these cuts,” said the report. “Sequestration is a blunt and indiscriminate instrument. It is not the responsible way for our nation to achieve deficit reduction.”

Other cuts would include $5 million from Obama’s own office at the White House; $140 million from financial aid for college students; $216 million from efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons; $471 million from highway construction; and $1 billion from aid for handicapped and children with other special needs.

Florida worries both Obama, Romney

David Albert Mitchell

N.Y. rape suspect eyed in 2002 murder

By Colleen Long and Vicki Smith Associated Press

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. — A drifter accused of brazenly raping an elderly woman in broad daylight in New York’s Central Park was a person of interest in a 2002 slaying in his home state of West Virginia, but investigators never had enough evidence to charge him, police said Friday.

David Albert Mitchell, 42, has had run-ins with the law for virtually all of his adult life, and was twice charged with crimes in which the alleged victim was an elderly woman, according to court records and a prosecutor.

And an ex-girlfriend says he bragged about killing Barbara Flake in the tiny West Virginia community of Jenkinjones, an impoverished and tightknit community in the state’s southern coalfields.

West Virginia State Police determined the woman died from a blow to the head when they found her skull two years after she disappeared from her home. But there was never enough information or probable cause to arrest Mitchell, said Sgt. C.F. Kane.

Mitchell’s onetime girlfriend, Saretta Mitchell, told The Associated Press that the man once bragged about killing Flake — a claim she reported to police when Flake’s remains were found.

“In a social setting, when there’s alcohol involved, he will tell you anything,” she said Friday.

“He bragged to me and some of our friends at different times that he had murdered two people.”

The rape charge against David Mitchell is just his latest brush with the law.

Police in New York City say he raped a 73-yearold birdwatcher who took a compromising photo of him. Days earlier, the woman took a photo of Mitchell allegedly fondling himself — she told police he unsuccessfully tried to take away her camera and demanded she delete the image. That encounter happened more than a week ago.

The birdwatcher told police she was attacked late Wednesday morning in a wooded area near Strawberry Fields, a spot that serves as a memorial to John Lennon and is one of Central Park’s busiest sections. Police said the woman picked Mitchell out of a lineup.

In an interview with the New York Post published Thursday, the woman recounted the attack and said she felt enraged. She said she wanted him to be maimed and then sent to prison for life.

Mitchell was arraigned early Friday on charges of first-degree rape, robbery, assault and other charges and ordered held without bail, prosecutors said. A call to his attorney at arraignment was not returned.

Earlier, Mitchell said nothing as he was led from the special victims unit to face charges in court, but he spat at reporters gathered there. He was also charged with threatening a man last month with a knife in the same area of the park.

Court and prison records in Virginia and West Virginia show Mitchell has been in trouble with the law for virtually all of his adult life, with regular stays behind bars.

Associated Press

APOPKA, FLA. — President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney have this in common when it comes to Florida: They’re both worried about the biggest election battleground prize.

The president has an edge here, but Democrats fear the advantage may be fleeting and fret about Florida’s undecided voters. They’re also nervous about legal battles over state voter laws that could cut into Obama’s support among minorities.

Republicans are concerned that Romney hasn’t closed the deal in a state hampered by joblessness and home foreclosures, even though he’s cast himself as the economic fixer and, along with his allies, has spent significant money and time here.

The state is especially critical for Romney.

With his paths limited toward the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, Romney’s chances are far more difficult if he doesn’t claim

Florida’s enormous cache of 29. That explains why he’s starting to pour even more money into television commercials here now that he has access to general election funds.

Both campaigns expect Republicans to outspend Democrats on the airwaves in the final weeks of the race in a state that already has seen each side spend roughly $60 million on TV ads.

Electoral votes The situation in Florida — and the campaigns’ anxieties about it — reflects the overall state of the presidential race.

A new smattering of polls shows Obama ahead by several percentage points in key states including Florida, Ohio and Virginia, as well as nationally. The clock is ticking toward November, Obama clearly has momentum on his side and Romney faces dwindling opportunities to change the race’s trajectory.

Without Florida, Romney would have to win all of the states that are leaning his way, as well as all

of the others that Obama won four years ago but now are too close to call — Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and New Hampshire — and still pick up two more electoral votes elsewhere, in states that are even more difficult.

The uncertainty of Florida partly explains why Romney now is making a play for Wisconsin. That state, which offers 10 electoral votes, has voted for Democrats for decades, but the GOP has seen down-ballot success there lately, and Romney running mate Paul Ryan lives there.

Obama already has far more states — and, thus, electoral votes — in his likely-winners column.

Because of that edge, he can hold the White House without Florida as long as he wins most of the other toss-up states. His standing has suffered here along with the state’s economy, four years after he won the state by cobbling together a coalition of Hispanics, African-Americans and independents to go with other Democrats.

Still undecided This year, undecided voters, and those not entirely sold on their candidates, may well tip the balance here. Few seem hot on either contender.

And most say the economy is Issue No. 1 in a state whose 8.8 percent unemployment rate is among the highest in the nation, as is its foreclosure rate.

Kathy Belcher, a Democrat from Apopka, is leaning toward Obama but says she would be willing to give Romney a chance if he offered more details on the economy and health care.

“It seems with Obama, people are getting a handout,” Belcher said. So, she added, she’s considering voting for Romney if he can assure her that won’t happen under him. “But that hasn’t happened.”

Donna Sprenkle, a registered Republican from Apopka, plans to vote for Romney — reluctantly.

She doesn’t think he’s explained well enough how he would fix the economy.

“I know somebody just can’t overnight bring it back,” Sprenkle said.

These are among the persuadable voters Obama, Romney and their top surrogates are courting as they make weekly campaign stops in Florida.

Both candidates are expected to visit next week as the latest public poll — an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll released Thursday — shows Obama with a 49 percent to 44 percent advantage over Romney.

Democrats caution that the numbers could change. And some party insiders who expect the race to come down to three states — Florida, Ohio and Virginia — say it’s still Florida that concerns them the most given the state’s unpredictable voting patterns. Republican George W. Bush won the state twice, including in the 2000 recount, before Obama won it four years ago.

“Even with all of the missteps by Romney, Obama hasn’t been able to put it away,” said Steve Vancore, a Florida-based Democratic pollster.

“There’s still time for this to change.”

Olympians, Paralympians honored at White House

By Mark S. Smith Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama gathered Team USA at the White House on Friday to hail the Olympians and Paralympians as conquering heroes.

“We could not be prouder of you. You gave us a summer that we will never forget,” he told more than 400 athletes crowding bleachers on the South Lawn.

Obama was joined by first lady Michelle, who was in London for the opening of the 2012 Summer Games and led the official U.S. delegation, and Vice President Joe Biden.

It was a banner year for U.S. athletes, who took home 104 medals — 46

of them gold — for their biggest haul at an Olympics not held in the United States. The Paralympics, which came immediately after, attracted 2.7 million spectators, a record.

Obama said he was jealous of his wife’s Olympic trip but did his best to keep up with the games by watching TV coverage.

“I’ve mastered the DVR so I was able to catch a little bit of everything,” Obama said, adding he often began his days in the White House exercise room “watching you guys do things that I did not think were humanly possible.”

“I was inspired to run a little bit faster watching (Olympic sprinter) Tyson Gay ... (or) do a few more crunches after watching

Michael Phelps and the other swimmers,” Obama said. He said he personally strained a lot harder — jogging on his treadmill.

Phelps, who became the Olympics’ most decorated athlete ever in London, grinned broadly, seated with the other athletes and wearing aviator glasses and team jacket.

The U.S. flag-bearers at the games — Olympic fencer Mariel Zagunis and Paralympic swimmer Brad Snyder, a Navy veteran — presented the Obamas with flags carried during the events’ opening ceremonies. Afterward, the president doffed his jacket to shake hands and pose for pictures as the Marine band played the Olympic fanfare.

Students who have access to computers at home and regularly use them for assignments are more likely to be strong writers, a national exam suggests.

But it also says just a quarter of America’s eighthand 12th-grade students have solid writing skills.

Twenty-seven percent of the students at each of those grade levels were able to write essays that were well developed, organized and had proper language and grammar — 24 percent were considered proficient, 3 percent advanced. The remainder showed just partial mastery of these skills.

“It is important to remember this is first-draft writing,” said Mary Crovo, deputy executive director of the National Assessment Governing Board, which administers the Nation’s Report Card tests.

“They did have some time to edit, but it wasn’t extensive editing.”

Students who took the writing test in 2011 had an advantage that previous test takers did not: computers with spell-check and thesaurus. Previously, young people taking the National Assessment of Educational Progress writing test had to use pencil and paper; the switch was made in line with changes in technology and a need for today’s students to write across electronic formats.

Because this was the first version of the computerized test, the board cautioned against compar-

ing the results with previous exams. In 2007, some 33 percent of eighth-grade students scored at the proficient level, which represents solid writing skills, as did 24 percent at grade 12.

Crovo said most students already use such technology as spell-check on a daily basis. Without those tools, she said, “It’s as if years ago we had given them a pencil to write the essay and took away the eraser.”

She said word processing tools alone wouldn’t result in significantly better writing scores if students didn’t have the core skills of being able to organize ideas and present them in a clear and grammatical fashion.

Still, students in both grades who used the thesaurus and the backspace key more frequently had higher scores than those who used them less often. Students who scored below the 25th percentile were less likely to have computers at home: 87 percent said they did, compared with 99 percent were in the top quarter.

Mark Warschauer, an education professor at the University of California, Irvine, said research consistently shows the use of computers in the classroom improves writing performance. He said students end up writing more, getting more feedback from peers and teachers and publishing more, all of which keeps them motivated.

“It just improves every aspect of the writing process,” he said.

Olive, first California sea otter to survive oil spill, has a pup

By Jason Dearen Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Just three years after she was found covered in oil and near death, a California sea otter called Olive is a new mom — another milestone for the first otter to survive an oiling in the state.

The California Department of Fish and Game said Friday that “Olive the Oiled Otter” was spotted recently swimming on her back with a pup resting on her belly.

“Olive is an attentive mother, frequently grooming, nursing and holding her pup,” the agency said in a statement.

The birth continued the remarkable story of the animal rescued in 2009

from a beach near Santa Cruz. It also was welcome news following a recent state and federal study that found tepid growth of the threatened California sea otter population on the Central Coast.

Scientists say oil is especially harmful to the species that has the thickest coat of any mammal.

When the animal’s coat is damaged by oil, its skin is exposed to cold water, which can lead to hypothermia and death because otters don’t have a layer of blubber like other marine mammals.

The U.S. Geological Survey said there are 2,792 sea otters left in the California population, which spans more than 200 miles of the Central Coast, from Morro Bay to Half Moon Bay.

The animals once ranged from Mexico to Alaska, but they were hunted to near extinction in the early 20th century for their fur.

David Jessup, a veterinarian with the state wildlife agency who washed Olive, said the animal was “circling the drain” when she arrived.

“She was in very bad condition,” Jessup said.

“She had probably been oiled for some period of time and (had) not eaten.”

For the previous two years, he had been researching techniques for washing oil off otters — the Monterey coast sees regular natural seepage, which likely was the source of Olive’s oil.

Jessup and others bathed the otter in olive oil — hence the name —

The sea otter, known as Olive, has amazed researchers by becoming the first sea otter not only to survive a dunking in oil but then also go on to deliver a healthy pup. which he’d found could loosen the tar-like oil off the thick fur. Once cleaned, Olive was fed by Jessup and his staff.

After she recovered,

Olive was outfitted with a microchip and transmitter and released back into the wild, where scientists have tracked and studied her.

U.S. policy on Iran is weak, incoherent WASHINGTON — There are two positions one can take regarding the Iranian nuclear program: (a) it doesn’t matter, we can deter them, or (b) it does matter, we must stop them.

In my view, the first position — that we can contain Iran as we did the Soviet Union — is totally wrong, a product of wishful thinking and misread history. But at least it’s internally coherent.

What is incoherent is President Obama’s posi-

Charles Krauthammer letters@charleskrauthammer. com

“

The Obama policy is a double game: a rhetorical commitment to stopping Iran, yet real-life actions that everyone understands will allow Iran to go nuclear.”

tion. He declares the Iranian program intolerable — “I do not have a policy of containment; I have a policy to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon” — yet stands by as Iran rapidly approaches nuclearization.

A policy so incoherent, so knowingly and obviously contradictory, is a declaration of weakness and passivity. And

this, as Anthony Cordesman, James Phillips and others have argued, can increase the chance of war. It creates, writes Cordesman, “the same conditions that helped trigger World War II — years of negotiations and threats, where the threats failed to be taken seriously until war became all too real.”

This has precipitated the current U.S.-Israeli crisis, sharpened by the president’s rebuff of the Israeli prime minister’s request for a meeting during his upcoming U.S. visit. Ominous new developments; no Obama response. Alarm bells going off everywhere; Obama plays deaf.

The old arguments, old excuses, old pretensions have become ridiculous: 1. Sanctions. The director of national intelligence testified to Congress at the beginning of the year that they had zero effect in slowing the nuclear program. Now the International Atomic Energy Agency reports

(Aug. 30) that the Iranian nuclear program, far from slowing, is actually accelerating. Iran has doubled the number of high-speed centrifuges at Fordow, the facility outside Qom built into a mountain to make it impregnable to air attack.

This week, the IAEA reported Iranian advances in calculating the explosive power of an atomic warhead. It noted once again Iran’s refusal to allow inspection of its weapons testing facility at Parchin, and cited satellite evidence of Iranian attempts to clean up and hide what’s gone on there.

The administration’s ritual response is that it has imposed the toughest sanctions ever. So what?

They’re a means, not an end. And they’ve had no effect on the nuclear program.

2. Negotiations. The latest, supposedly last-ditch round of talks in Istanbul, Baghdad, then Moscow has completely collapsed.

The West even conceded

to Iran the right to enrich — shattering a decadelong consensus and six Security Council resolutions demanding its cessation.

Iran’s response? Contemptuous rejection.

Why not? The mullahs have strung Obama along for more than three years and still see no credible threat emanating from the one country that could disarm them.

3. Diplomatic isolation. The administration boasts that Iran is becoming increasingly isolated.

Really? Just two weeks ago, 120 nations showed up in Tehran for a meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement — against U.S. entreaties not to attend.

Even the U.N. secretarygeneral attended — after the administration implored him not to.

Which shows you what American entreaties are worth today. And the farcical nature of Iran’s alleged isolation.

The Obama policy is in shambles. Which is why Cordesman argues that

the only way to prevent a nuclear Iran without war is to establish a credible military threat to make Iran recalculate and reconsider. That means U.S. red lines: deadlines beyond which Washington will not allow itself to be strung, as well as benchmark actions that would trigger a response, such as the further hardening of Iran’s nuclear facilities to the point of invulnerability and, therefore, irreversibility.

Which made all the more shocking Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s dismissal last Sunday of the very notion of any U.S. red lines. No deadlines. No bright-line action beyond which Iran must not go. The sleeping giant continues to slumber. And to wait. As the administration likes to put it, “for Iran to live up to its international obligations.”

This is beyond feckless. The Obama policy is a double game: a rhetorical commitment to stopping Iran, yet real-life actions that everyone understands will allow Iran to go nuclear.

Yet at the same time that it does nothing, the administration warns Israel sternly, repeatedly, publicly, even threateningly not to strike the Iranian nuclear program.

With zero prospect of his policy succeeding, Obama insists on Israeli inaction, even as Iran races to close the window of opportunity for any successful attack.

Not since its birth six decades ago has Israel been so cast adrift by its closest ally.

Jaywalking tickets To the editor: I’m really tired of pedestrians not using crosswalks. It seems to me that jaywalking is part of being a Jayhawk these days. Bolting out on Mass. Street is common place these days, I know, but when driving, do you drive on the sidewalk?

Do you run red lights? If you said “no” to either of those, then use crosswalks instead of just slithering across the street in the thick of traffic. If you do use crosswalks, wait until it’s green to cross the street. If you have small children, keep a hold of them, please, so they don’t run out into the street unknowingly.

If the Lawrence Police Department really wanted to make some money, they’d start ticketing pedestrians for not abiding by the law. I’d get a ticket if I ran a red light. So should pedestrians for crossing the street when they have a red light.

Tim Sentz, Lawrence

Shining light To the editor: We are all encouraged to walk wisely as Carl Burkhead has stated in his Sept. 10 letter. Matthew 5:16 teaches believers what we must do if we are to serve Jesus and so make disciples of those who do not walk wisely. Chapter 5 starts with “blessed are” then gives a list that Jesus mentions so that his followers will be especially aware so his light shines through us. In verse 13, Jesus teaches us that we are the salt of the earth, “but if your salt has lost its saltiness, you will be thrown out since you are no longer good for anything.”

We are to let our light shine before men that they may see your good

deeds and praise God. In verse 42, we are instructed by Jesus to give money to the poor person who asks and do not turn away from the poor one who wants to borrow from you. Giving to the poor has no value for the giver if he does not have the love of Jesus.

If you sell all you have and give it to the poor but have not love, it counts for nothing (I Corinthians 13:8). Jesus commands us to love one another as he has loved us. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you were the poor and the person you ask had the financial means to give you the funds you needed.

Walt Stroker, Lawrence

Economy, schools To the editor: Most of us are aware that one requirement for good schools is a sound economic base. It’s not clear that Gov. Brownback and his advisers are aware that the converse is also true; the Kansas economy will not flourish without good schools.

As staunch defenders of the Constitution, they must be aware that the government “shall provide for intellectual, educational, vocational and scientific improvement by establishing and maintaining public schools…” Nowhere does the Constitution mandate the business interests shall be served above all others or that Kansas shall be made an optimal place for the Koch brothers and their ilk to do business and not pay taxes.

Our founding parents would presumably have seen the injustice of factory workers paying taxes while the owners pay none, if they could have imaged such an absurdity.

Court overturns sentences in Kansas hunting case WICHITA — A federal appeals court has overturned the prison sentences of two Texas brothers who ran a hunting camp in Kansas where hunters paid thousands of dollars to illegally shoot deer, sending the case back to district court where the men will be resentenced.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals said in its decision Thursday that the district court made a mistake in sentencing James and Marlin Butler by basing the value of the wildlife on the full price of a guided hunt rather than the actual value

of the animals.

The Butlers, of Martinsville, Texas, ran Camp Lone Star near Coldwater. James Butler owned the camp and was sentenced last year to 41 months in prison and ordered to pay a $25,000 fine and $25,000 in restitution to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.

Marlin Butler, who worked as a guide, was sentenced to 27 months in prison and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and $10,000 in restitution.

The federal investigation into Camp Lone Star

is believed to be one of the largest criminal prosecutions involving the illegal taking of deer. The Butler brothers were convicted under the Lacey Act, a federal law that prohibits interstate transport of any wildlife taken in violation of state regulations.

Search warrants were executed in Louisiana, Kansas and Texas.

The brothers pleaded guilty to felony charges of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act and violation of the Lacey Act. James Butler also pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Fixing air attack tall order vs. TCU Notre Dame. Five-star quarterback. Charlie Weis.

Tom Brady. Brady Quinn.

Jimmy Clausen. Matt Cassel. It all made for such a delightful blend of KoolAid, and it was bottoms-up all spring and summer in anticipation of Dayne Crist lighting up Kansas skies.

How could it be anything but bottoms-up on the KoolAid after the post-Todd Reesing malaise that hung over Memorial Stadium?

Now to find Kansas University in the national passing offense rankings, it pays to start at the bottom and look up.

Kansas ranks 119th among 124 Football Bowl Subdivision schools with 156.5 passing yards per game. Wait, it gets worse. Fifth-year Notre Dame transfer Dayne Crist ranks 112th of 117 quarterbacks with enough attempts to qualify with a quarterback rating of 93.6. Among quarterbacks from BCS conference schools, only Iowa’s James Vandenberg ranks behind Crist.

More: Kansas has the nation’s sixth-worst yards per pass attempt, ranking behind just Southern Miss, New Mexico, UMass, Iowa and UTEP. With the exception of New Mexico, each school ranking behind KU in passing yards per attempt has not averaged as many as 4.0 yards per rushing attempt, meaning none of them has a ground game that can take the pressure off the passer.

In contrast, KU averages 5.45 yards per rush attempt, compared to 4.89 yards per pass.

“We’re not playing to our potential right now, and that’s very evident,” Crist said moments after a deflating 25-24 loss to Rice. “We need to fix this quickly. I think all parties involved are willing to work to make sure (of that).”

This might not be the easiest of weeks to fix it.

Sure, it’s early. Sure, TCU has played just one game, and it was against Grambling State. But guess where TCU’s pass defense ranks nationally: First. Grambling completed 5 of 14 passes for a whopping 26 yards. But it’s no fluke, either. The Horned Frogs had the nation’s No. 1 pass defense as recently as 2010, was sixth in 2009 and 11th in 2008.

Crist will face more pressure than he did in the first two weeks. Receivers won’t find it any easier to break free, and the ground game faces a much stiffer challenge.

In a less depressing development, I had a premonition, the first since the one that resulted in correctly predicting that Dezmon Briscoe would total three touchdown receptions against Florida International in 2008.

Mark it down: Third-year sophomore receiver Andrew Turzilli of Butler, N.J., will catch a touchdown pass against TCU. He doesn’t have a reception yet this year, but did get a couple of steps on his defender on a deep route on the left sideline against Rice but was overthrown by a step or two.

A long target, the 6-foot31⁄2 Turzilli had three catches for 37 yards and a touchdown against Georgia Tech last season and had a productive summer camp.

FREE STATE DEFENDERS TRY TO BRING DOWN Olathe South’s Dresden Wilbur during their game Friday night at FSHS. Olathe South, the defending Class 6A state champion, held off the Firebirds, 38-35.

INT ends FSHS comeback in 38-35 loss to O-South

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Free State quarterback Kyle McFarland walked off the field with his black chin strap over his mouth and tears in his eyes.

“We had plenty of chances,” McFarland said following the No. 4 Firebirds’ 38-35 loss to No. 2 Olathe South on Friday night at Firebird Stadium. “I just didn’t execute at the end like we were supposed to.”

On his way to the locker room, McFarland was stopped

by Free State quarterback coach Adam Barmann, who told the senior how proud he was of his effort.

“

We had open receivers, and Kyle went for it. We just didn’t make a play. Can’t fault that. That was just the kids trying to make a play.”

— Free State High football coach Bob Lisher McFarland nodded, but one could see his mind wandering back to his final pass of the game.

With the Firebirds trailing 38-35 and less than three minutes remaining, McFarland had set his team up with

a second-and-10 on the South 20.

After rolling to the left, McFarland fired for junior receiver Chris Heller, though there appeared to be some miscommunication.

The pass ended up sailing to South’s Chase Hanson, who intercepted it in the back of the end zone.

“We had open receivers, and Kyle went for it,” Free State coach Bob Lisher said.

“We just didn’t make a play.

Can’t fault that. That was just the kids trying to make a play.”

McFarland, for his part, took responsibility afterward.

“I just rushed it too fast,” McFarland said. “I could have let it open up or run it, and that would have been better.

I just made a bad mistake, and it cost us.”

South picked up three first downs on rushes on the ensuing drive to run out the clock.

Free State battled back from deficits most of the night.

One of the biggest plays came with the Firebirds trailing 21-7 midway through the second quarter, as McFarland threw a jump-ball deep to receiver Tye Hughes with South’s Frankie Seurer tipping it away.

LHS defense stands firm, halts Olathe East, 28-20

LAWRENCE HIGH DEFENDERS JORDAN BROWN (31) AND DRAKE HOFER (17) DRAG DOWN Olathe East fullback Ryan Woodson during the first quarter on Friday at LHS. The Lions won, 28-20.

Without some late-game heroics from the Lawrence High defense, football coach Dirk Wedd and the Lions would have had a miserable start to their weekend.

After fourth-down plays backfired on consecutive fourth-quarter possessions for LHS, an interception by safety Brad Strauss with 1:59 on the clock capped a gutsy defensive stand and sealed a 28-20 victory over visiting Olathe East.

“First of all, that was a crappy job of coaching,” Wedd said with a relief-filled laugh.

Protecting a 28-12 fourthquarter lead, the first LHS miscue came with just under 11 minutes left. On a fourth-

and-two on its own 28, Lawrence elected to go for it with a fake punt that fooled no one.

Senior quarterback Strauss faked a hand-off to back-up running back Jordan Brown, rolled right and had his pass intercepted by the Hawks’ Braxton Love.

O-East (1-2) took over on Lawrence’s 20, and five plays later senior fullback Ryan Woodson was plunging into the end zone for a touchdown. The Hawks added two on a run by Hayden Frazier following a pass-interference call on the LHS defense, which was flagged 13 times for 93 yards on the night.

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Pinch hitter Kendrys Morales had two-run homer during an eighth-inning rally Friday night that sent the Los Angeles Angels over the Kansas City Royals, 9-7.

Several hours before the game, a man shot and wounded a female parking lot employee between the stadiums that are home to the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals before killing himself, police said.

Morales homered on the first pitch from Tim Collins (5-3) with Mark Trumbo aboard to make it 7-all. Collins threw 11 pitches, faced four batters and retired

none, allowing two singles and hitting Albert Pujols on an 0-2 count.

Jeremy Jeffress replaced Collins and walked Torii Hunter on five pitches with the bases loaded to force home Mike Trout with the go-ahead run. Hunter is hitting .431 with 15 RBIs in his past 16 games.

Sporting K.C., Houston play to draw KANSAS CITY, KAN. (AP) — C.J. Sapong scored in the third minute of second-half stoppage time, salvaging a 1-1 draw for Sporting Kansas City against the Houston Dynamo on Friday night.

Sporting (15-7-6) extended its unbeaten streak to six games, while Houston (12-7-10)

has just one win in its past six matches.

The Dynamo went up 1-0 when Brad Davis scored in the 58th minute on an assist from Boniek Garcia and appeared headed for the win until Sapong headed home Graham Zusi’s cross.

It was the 13th assist of the

season for Zusi, tying him for the league lead with Seattle’s Mauro Rosales.

Sapong scored on his careerhigh ninth shot of the night.

Two of his attempts were saved

by Houston’s Tally Hall in a scoreless first half.

But Sapong’s goal denied Hall what would have been his MLS-

leading 12th shutout of the season.

Houston was without coach Dominic Kinnear and midfielder Calen Carr, who both were ejected from last week’s 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake. Carr had two goals when the Dynamo beat Sporting 2-1 in Houston on July 18.

I grew up a fan of the Minnesota Gophers. My dad graduated from Minnesota, and his dad graduated from Minnesota.

So it was an easy call.

But the Minneapolis Catholic elementary school I attended had far more Notre Dame fans.

Religion didn’t merely trump geography. It ran up the score.

Catholics who have never passed within 100 miles of the Notre Dame campus in South Bend, Ind., consider the Irish their team. Notre Dame’s fan base is large, loyal and national, and any athletic conference that can sign the school up wins.

The ACC won Wednesday when it announced that Notre Dame would become a member.

The Irish won’t play a full football schedule. But they will play five conference teams a season. Anybody who expected them to play more simply doesn’t understand. Why would they give up an annual football game against Southern California to play Duke? The presence of the Irish is such that the conference still wins.

ACC football has been consistently dreadful, and anybody and anything that enhances the quality should be welcomed.

For those of you against further expansion, can you imagine ACC football without Virginia Tech?

Thank you.

Anybody in particular you want to play? “I liked when we went down to Chapel Hill and played North Carolina,� says Carolina Panthers quarterback Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame class of 2010. “There’s a great atmosphere down there, especially with women’s basketball and men’s basketball. I think it’s going to be competitive. And be real good to see.�

Panthers long snapper J.J. Jansen, Notre Dame class of 2008, loves the coming together of Notre Dame and the ACC. “It’s a great academic conference,� he says. “There’s going to be a lot of good football.

We’ve been in the Big East, which is a great basketball conference, and we’re going to another great basketball conference.�

In football, Jansen likes the matchups with Miami and Boston College.

The Hurricanes and Fighting Irish were long ago among college football’s best programs, and they played some vicious and legendary games — “Catholics vs. Convicts� — in the late 1980s.

Notre Dame and Boston College, meanwhile, annually play for the unofficial/official Catholic football championship of the U.S. Jansen also loves the idea of driving to North Carolina and Duke to watch the Irish play basketball.

Another bonus: Trash talk in Carolina’s locker room is loud and long, and when Notre Dame plays an ACC school, Jansen and Clausen will get to participate. “It’s just a lot of guys jawing back and forth,� Clausen says.

Which school’s supporters talk the loudest? “It probably would be TD (linebacker Thomas Davis) and Georgia,� says Clausen. “And all the rest of the Georgia guys in here.�

SPAIN’S DAVID FERRER RETURNS THE BALL TO SAM QUERREY of the United States during a Davis Cup match Friday in Gijon, Spain. Ferrer won, 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4.

Spain builds 2-0 lead over U.S. in Davis Cup GIJON, SPAIN — Even without facing Rafael Nadal, the United States is on the brink of elimination by the clay-court masters from Spain.

Sam Querrey and John Isner lost their opening singles matches Friday, giving the defending champions a 2-0 lead in the Davis Cup semifinals.

David Ferrer put the hosts ahead in the bestof-five series with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 win over Querrey. Nicolas Almagro beat Isner, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5, to leave Spain one point from its fourth final in five years.

Almagro overcame 25 aces from Isner, who saved three match points before hitting a forehand long.

The U.S. must win the doubles match today to stay in the series, with brothers Mike and Bob Bryan facing Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez. The Bryan twins are 4-0 when the U.S. has faced a 2-0 deficit and 5-0 against Spain.

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Georgia prep to visit Late Night

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Brannen Greene, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound senior small forward from Tift County High in Tifton, Ga., who orally committed to KU last Dec. 20, plans to make his official recruiting visit to KU for the Oct. 12 Late Night Greene in the Phog.

Greene’s dad, Jeff, told Rivals.com, however, there’s a chance the family could change the visit to Feb. 16, when the Jayhawks play host to Texas as part of ESPN GameDay. KU coach Bill Self had his in-home visit with Greene on Thursday. He

spoke to the Tifton Gazette, but could not discuss Greene, the No. 22-rated player in the Class of 2013, in accordance with NCAA recruiting rules.

Self told the paper Tift County, “was a big-time school,” and he had gone to “places a lot more rural than Tifton,” during his days as a college recruiter.

“We will go anywhere in the country to look at a player, if they are interested in attending Kansas,” Self told the paper. “This area of the country has always been one of the more fertile spots for talent.”

Tift County is located in south Georgia, about 20 miles north of Macon and an hour drive from the city of Atlanta.

So far, four uncommitted prospects in the Class of 2013 will be making official recruiting visits to KU for Late Night.

They are: No. 5-ranked

Aaron Gordon, a 6-8 forward from Archbishop Mitty High in San Jose, Calif., who is considering KU, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Kentucky and Cal; No. 29 Tyler Roberson, a 6-8 forward from Roselle (N.J.) Catholic, considering KU, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Rutgers, Seton Hall, South Carolina, SMU, Syracuse and Villanova; No. 43 Karviar Shepherd, a 6-10 center from Prime Prep Academy in Dallas who lists KU, SMU, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Oklahoma, TCU and Marquette; and Chris Jones, a 5-11 sophomore from Northwest Florida State College who is considering KU, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Louisville and Florida State.

O Randle visit: Self on Wednesday was in the home of No. 1-ranked Julius Randle, 6-9 senior from

BRIEFLY Kansas volleyball defeats LMU, 3-1 SOUTH BEND, IND. — Kansas University’s volleyball team dominated the first and final sets to fend off Loyola-Marymount on Friday and open the Golden Dome Invitational with a victory.

Kansas started the game with a 25-13 win and took the second set, 25-23, before losing in the third, 25-21. KU regrouped to lead, 12-4, midway through the fourth set and closed out LMU, 25-14.

The victory was the eighth straight for the Jayhawks (10-1), who are riding their longest winning streak since the 2004 season.

Sophomore outside hitter Sara McClinton led the Jayhawks with 14 kills.

Junior middle blocker Caroline Jarmoc, the reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, did not record a kill until halfway through the second set, which KU coach Ray Bechard attributed to LMU’s game plan.

“They were keying in on our middles, and (Tiana) Dockery did a great job on responding to that,” Bechard said. “Sara stepped it up as well. We found that balance that we needed to get the win tonight.”

Dockery, a freshman outside hitter, set career highs with nine digs and nine blocks, including four blocks in KU’s explosive opening set.

Jarmoc ended the match with eight kills and seven blocks.

The Jayhawks take on Xavier at 9:30 a.m. today.

Jayhawk soccer shut out by Denver Visiting Denver held Kansas University scoreless for the first time all soccer season, snapping the Jayhawks’ six-game winning streak with a 1-0 victory on Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex.

Kansas (6-2-1) outshot Denver 16-8 overall and 11-1 in the second half, but the Pioneers connected in the 18th minute for the game’s only goal.

KU will begin Big 12 conference play at 5 p.m.

Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas.

“This is the biggest thing, and I’ve known coach Self since last year, and one of my kids, Zach Peters, is playing for him,” Prestonwood coach Chris Mayberry told Rivals.com.

“He (Self) is a straight shooter and that’s the biggest thing. He was honest and told the truth, not that others didn’t at all, but he’s just a real dude and I think Julius appreciates that. It was a really good visit.”

Randle is considering KU, Baylor, Duke, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, N.C. State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas.

On Friday, Self was in the home of No. 2-ranked Jabari Parker, 6-8 from Chicago Simeon, who lists KU, BYU, DePaul, Duke, Florida, Georgetown, Kentucky, Michigan State, North Carolina, Stanford and Illinois.

COMMENTARY

Lions’ Strauss delivers time after time If a general manager put this roster together, he would get booed out of town in a way that would make him never want to return.

No kicker. Too many guys who need to sit on telephone books to reach their school desks.

Too many scrappers so antsy to make something happen they tend to get flagged with penalties.

Somehow, this collection of Lawrence High Lions manages to band together to produce a most entertaining product to watch, hairy warts and all.

Tom Keegan

Strauss completed 15 of 27 passes for 305 yards and three touchdowns, rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown and came up with the game’s key defensive play, an interception on O-East’s final play from scrimmage. Early in the game, he blocked an extra point.

Veteran LHS coach Dirk Wedd was asked if he ever has coached a player he asked to do as much as he asks of Strauss.

“Never in this school,” Wedd said. “Never.

Never. Never. And you’ve heard me say this a thousand times: He’s an even

better kid than he is a football player.”

Strauss also punts and returns punts for the Lions. And sometimes he fake-punts, including one time too many Friday. On fourth-and-two from the Lions’ 28, Wedd called a fake punt. The play ended with Strauss throwing an interception.

“He’s our best practice player,” Wedd said. “He practices harder than any other player. Everyone else says, ‘Well, if the best player on this team practices this hard, I better practice hard.’ And that’s how you make a good football team.”

Strauss, who racked up 392 yards of total offense, accounted for every Lions touchdown and blocked an extra point, couldn’t believe the relentlessness of Haralson, a 5-foot-5, 145-pound senior who lined up at nose guard.

“Hunter Haralson, he’s just amazing,” Strauss said. “It’s incredible how good he is for how little he is. He’s just the toughest kid.”

Lawrence had to pick up a first down when it got the ball back, and, aided by an offside penalty by O-East on third-and-six, Strauss ran for the gamedeciding first down with a two-yard carry.

The Lions did most of their damage through the air in the win, though.

Strauss had two of his three touchdown tosses on fourth-and-goal — one to Drake Hofer in the first quarter and another to Mayo in the third.

Because LHS doesn’t have a field-goal kicker, Hofer said converting on those plays is a must.

It helps that Strauss has a stable of reliable options when he drops back to pass. Will Thompson, Josh Seybert, Hofer, Mayo and Brown all had double-digit receiving yards.

Said Hofer: “Will is playing incredible right now. Erick, when he gets it, you never know how long he’s gonna go.”

SUMMARY

FSHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Replays showed that the ball deflected near Hughes’ stomach, but as he was juggling it, Hanson ripped it away for what appeared to be an interception.

Officials ruled it as a 35yard catch for Hughes and kept the call even after a conference on the field.

That ended up being significant, as three plays later, McFarland found Blake Winslow in the right corner of the end zone to cut the South lead to 21-14.

Exactly one minute later, Free State senior cornerback Demarko Bobo jumped a South route, picking off a Seurer pass before returning it 28 yards for a touchdown.

“I saw the field wideopen, and I knew my guys were going to lead me to the end zone,” Bobo said.

“I just gave it all and kept running.”

Following a South field goal, FSHS took its only lead with 7:42 left in the third quarter, as TJ Cobbs contributed an eight-yard TD run to make it 28-24 after the PAT. The advantage would be short-lived. South, which didn’t pass the ball in the second half, followed with 70- and 73yard touchdown drives to go up 38-28 with 11:49 left.

McFarland, though, brought Free State back immediately. He completed a 32-yard pass to Winslow and a 15-yarder to Hughes to move FSHS in-

Brown and Strauss picked up first downs on the ground — it derailed inside the O-East 10-yard line.

First, a hold negated a Strauss TD run. Eventually, faced with fourth-andgoal at the three, Strauss looked for an open receiver on a passing play, found no one, and the pocket collapsed around him as the Hawks picked up a sack.

That gave O-East a chance with more than four minutes remaining to go 94 yards and potentially tie the game with a two-point conversion.

On third-and-six, LHS senior defensive back Erick Mayo deflected a pass on the right sideline with a diving play. But Hawks senior QB John Blazevic found Nathan Guthrie for a 29-yard gain on fourth down to keep the drive alive.

Fortunately for the Lions (2-1), on a night when starters such as Tyrone Jenkins, Drew Green, Art Hall and Kyle Wittman had injuries force them out of the game, backup Hunter Haralson pulled down Woodson for a 14yard loss on the next play, leading to a third-and-24, where Blazevic had to look deep, and Strauss leapt up for a crucial interception.

“We had so many kids

There’s no such thing as a one-man football team, and Strauss certainly is not that. Receiver/defensive back Erick Mayo made big plays on both sides of the ball. Drake Hofer (seven catches for 85 yards and a TD) and Will Thompson (two catches, 88 yards and a TD) came up big, as did all-state wrestler Hunter Haralson (14-yard sack late).

But to watch a Lawrence High football game is to wonder if we might all be victims of a clever prank. Could it be Brad Strauss is an identical twin whose secret brother also wears No. 11?

Free State’s defense picked up the stop it needed on the next possession. With South facing a fourth-and-one with 3:34 remaining, senior defensive lineman Cody Stanclift collapsed the hole on South’s Thomas McCue, tackling him for a oneyard loss.

“That was just pure adrenaline,” Free State linebacker Stan Skwarlo said. “Our defense really did well, really stood up.

It was awesome.”

Following an 18-yard Bobo run, McFarland completed a 28-yard pass down the sideline to Winslow to set up Free State with a first down at the South 20 before the final interception.

McFarland, who also had an interception on defense, finished 12-for21 passing for 235 yards with two touchdowns and three picks.

“He played an awesome game,” Skwarlo said. “I told him, too. I told him he was the one that really got us here.”

Behind 6-foot-6 left guard — and Div. I pros-

pect — Braden Smith, the reigning state champion Falcons (3-0) finished with 60 carries for 378 yards using a flurry of misdirection plays.

“It was a heavyweight battle,” Lisher said. “Both teams went right after each other and didn’t back down. It’s just a matter of them making a few more plays that we did.”

Hughes added four catches for 99 yards and a score for the Firebirds (2-1), while Winslow contributed five receptions for 89 yards and a TD.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Sox keep lead in Central The Associated Press

White Sox 6, Twins 0 MINNEAPOLIS — Chris Sale threw six scoreless innings to notch his 17th victory after being rained out the night before, helping Chicago keep its onegame lead in the AL Central by beating Minnesota on Friday.

Sale (17-6) scattered three singles and struck out five without a walk, cruising to his third win in three starts against the Twins this year.

Sale was supposed to pitch Thursday against Detroit, but that game was postponed until Monday by wet weather. The Tigers, who beat Cleveland, are one game back in the division.

Dayan Viciedo had two RBIs, Kevin Youkilis homered, and Alex Rios doubled, scored and drove in a run for the White Sox, who played without injured slugger Adam Dunn.

Tigers 4, Indians 0 CLEVELAND — Justin Verlander pitched seven shutout innings and made sure Detroit stayed in step with first-place Chicago in the AL Central.

Coming through the way he almost always does, Verlander (14-8) allowed six hits. He escaped jams in the fifth and sixth innings with help from Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera, big men best known for their powerful bats, who made stellar defensive plays.

The Tigers came in trailing the first-place White Sox by one game.

Phils rebound against Astros The Associated Press

Phillies 12, Astros 6 HOUSTON — Jimmy Rollins hit a leadoff homer, Domonic Brown had a two-run shot, and John Mayberry and Ryan Howard each had three RBIs as Philadelphia beat Houston on Friday night.

The Phillies rebounded from Thursday night’s 6-4 loss to Houston, which broke a seven-game winning streak and left them four games back for the second NL wild-card spot.

Rollins’ homer keyed a four-run first inning on a night when the Phillies came one run shy of a season high.

A two-run homer by Matt Downs got Houston within 5-3 in the fourth.

Mayberry’s two-run single in the fifth stretched the lead to 7-3.

Justin Maxwell added a solo shot in the fifth for the last-place Astros.

Cubs 7, Pirates 4 CHICAGO — Pittsburgh lost its seventh straight game and kept fading in the NL wild-card race as Starlin Castro hit a three-

run homer that sent Chicago to victory.

The Pirates have dropped 11 of 13 overall.

They began the day three games behind St. Louis for the final NL playoff spot.

Chris Rusin (1-2) notched his first majorleague victory, allowing two runs in five-plus innings in his fourth career start.

The Cubs led 4-3 in the sixth before Castro connected.

Pinch hitter Tyler Pastornicky hit a one-hop grounder to shortstop Ian Desmond, who had a shot at getting Simmons but threw wildly to the plate, the ball skipping all the way to the backstop while the rookie slid across with the winning run.

Niese (11-9), who had lost three straight starts, settled down after giving up two second-inning runs, allowing six hits, three walks and the two runs. He also had two hits and scored a run, helping the Mets to their biggest offensive output since a 9-5 extra-inning victory over Philadelphia on Aug. 28.

TCU has no reason to fear unknown

By Gil Lebreton Fort Worth Star-Telegram

FORT WORTH, TEXAS — TCU head coach Gary Patterson likes to say that it takes two years.

Two football games, home and away. One trip to their place, one game at yours.

Two years to get accustomed to the crowds, the bus or plane trip, the locker room, the length of the grass.

And who in the NCAA knows more about changing conferences than Patterson and TCU? “You’ve got to play everybody two years,” Patterson repeated the other day. “You’ve got to play them there and back ... to experience all the nuances.”

Ah yes, the nuances.

The aroma from the Bevo end zone. The Sooner chuck wagon hanging a U-turn through

the middle of your kickoff return team. And then there’s Lubbock — tortillas, anyone?

While Patterson worries about nuances, fans of the Texas Aggies and Missouri Tigers have fretted over speed. Do A&M and Mizzou have enough team quickness to keep pace with their new neighborhood, the Southeastern Conference?

The concerns are all well-founded.

Look at Arkansas and South Carolina. They played their first SEC football season in 1992 and are still waiting to win their first league title.

TCU plays its first game in the reshuffled Big 12 today at Kansas.

The Aggies and Mizzou, meanwhile, both were baptized by the SEC last weekend with defeats.

he said of the Big 12 season ahead. “And we’ve gotta find a way to win by one point.”

It’s his old mantra. So he heads to Lawrence, Kan. this week with his team favored by 21 points.

The Missouri and Texas A&M fans were right to worry about team speed as the Tigers and Aggies head into their new conference. But even in losing efforts, the concerns were overplayed.

Speed wasn’t the reason that Mizzou lost to Georgia, 41-20, last Saturday. It was a 27-20 ballgame before the visiting Bulldogs wore down Missouri in the final quarter.

Speed wasn’t the reason why A&M fell at home to Florida, 20-17, either. New quarterback Johnny Manziel was the best player on the field as the Aggies dominated the first half.

In both cases, the problem was depth. Mizzou and A&M both have, if you will, “SEC caliber” players — just not quite as many as Georgia and Florida yet.

Patterson was asked what his team needed to close the gaps in depth as TCU heads into the Big 12.

“Oh, maybe another defensive end,” he said.

“Maybe two more offensive tackles.”

Patterson, never satisfied, then proceeded to tick off nearly every position on his depth chart.

New league, same old coach.

The nuances remain there for the discovering.

But fear of the college football unknown is vastly exaggerated, it says here.

Good teams can come from unfamiliar neighborhoods, as the Big 12 and SEC will find out.

North Texas holds memories for Kansas State

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

MANHATTAN — There are two games against North Texas, played more than two decades apart, which stand out vividly in the mind of Kansas State coach Bill Snyder.

Both laid the foundation for future success.

The first was played on Sept. 30, 1989. The Wildcats had won three of their previous 47 games, earning the dubious distinction of “Futility U” from Sports Illustrated, when they managed a late score to beat the school then known as North Texas State 20-17 at home.

Within five years, Kansas State was making regular trips to bowl games.

The second game was played on Nov. 27, 2010.

Snyder was in his second year back from a brief retirement, and the Wildcats were playing a rare nonconference season finale on the road. Helped by a late kickoff return, Kansas State managed to squeeze out a 49-41 victory.

It allowed the Wildcats to qualify for a bowl game, and set up a 10-win season last year.

Few expect the No. 15 Wildcats (2-0) to have similar struggles against the Mean Green (1-1) today. Kansas State will be tuning up for next week’s showdown at fifth-ranked Oklahoma.

Still, the game provides Snyder an opportunity to walk down memory road.

“It wasn’t just the first win; it was the only win that season,” Snyder said with a chuckle, recalling the win over North Texas in his first season coaching the Wildcats.

“It probably saved my sanity, maybe, as you look at it,” Snyder said.

“What’d it mean? I don’t know what it meant. As

I’ve said so many times, what was really significant to me was that at the end of the season, I was able to look back at the season and realize that we had improved, week-in and week-out.”

Over the following years, Kansas State posted six 11-win seasons, won a Big 12 championship and played in marquee postseason destinations. But the program slipped following Snyder’s sudden retirement in 2005, and he was lured back into the corner office just four years later.

The Wildcats won six games his first season, but the breakthrough came in 2010, when Kansas State narrowly beat North Texas to qualify for the inaugural Pinstripe Bowl.

“The North Texas game that I more frequently share with our players about is the one that happened two years ago, when we went down to Denton and played,” Snyder said. “If we don’t run a kickoff return back late in the ball game after they had just run one back, we might easily have lost that ball game, and lost the opportunity to play in a bowl game.”

Now, Kansas State is back to those heady days of the 1990s.

The Wildcats went to the Cotton Bowl last year behind the emergence of quarterback Collin Klein, and now they’re coming off blowout wins over Missouri State and Miami to start the season.

They’ve already started the slow climb up the national rankings — it helps to beat a vaunted program like the Hurricanes 5213 — and are tuning up for the Sooners against a North Texas program that should be plenty familiar to Snyder, if not the rest of the Wildcats.

OKLAHOMA STATE’S TRACY MOORE, LEFT, OUTRUNS ARIZONA’S SHAGUILLE RICHARDSON for a touchdown during the Cowboys’ 59-38 loss on Saturday in Tucson, Ariz.

OSU looks to Moore for leadership STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — Tracy Moore wants to be the next great Oklahoma State receiver, following the likes of first-round NFL Draft picks Justin Blackmon and Dez Bryant.

His coaches want him to understand that there’s more to the job than just catching passes and scoring touchdowns.

Coach Mike Gundy and offensive coordinator Todd Monken both met with Moore after he caught four touchdown passes in Oklahoma State’s 59-38 loss at Arizona last week, discussing what he can do beyond producing on the field.

“He’s a good player, he’s a good kid, he’s a good looking guy, he’s charismatic. He has all the things you’d want in

a leader,” Monken said.

“But that doesn’t mean you can lead. Just because you have all those things doesn’t mean you can lead the right way. He’s going to lead. It’s just which way.”

Moore had three run-ins with police this offseason, resulting in his suspension for the season opener against Savannah State.

Once he was back, he put up big numbers in his season debut with eight catches for 106 yards.

His four-touchdown performance matched the best of Bryant’s career, and he only did it once.

Blackmon, a two-time AllAmerican and two-time Biletnikoff Award winner, never did it.

“If you’re one of the better players on the

team, you automatically get that chance (to lead) because people and kids that are in society today see good players as role models. They don’t make the decision based on other things like we do,” Gundy said.

While Moore has been solid in games, his issues have come elsewhere. He got benched for the Fiesta Bowl last season because of practice issues, and Gundy said he’s been known to run his mouth from time to time.

“Does he qualify in a lot of areas that we as parents would want him to? No. Does he qualify to help us lead out here on the football field? Yes,” Gundy said. “That doesn’t make him a well-rounded leader. Hopefully that’ll help

him in the long run in the other areas.”

Both Gundy and Monken believe Moore has made progress since he was forced to sit out the bowl game, to the point that he even approached Monken to talk about leadership on Monday morning. Monken issued him a challenge.

“Tracy’s got a little willpower. He just does,” Monken said. “Tracy likes having fun, he likes going out. So do I. That’s great. But then don’t say you want to be something that you’re not. Just say, ‘That’s what I am. I’m a hard-driving guy, I’m not a leader, I’m all about me.

I like going out and having a good time and screwing stuff up. That’s just me.’

Just say that.”

Texas, Ole Miss both see an opportunity today OXFORD, MISS. (AP) — Two victories in two games have helped soothe some of Mississippi’s embarrassment after an abysmal 2011 season.

Now No. 14 Texas is coming to town.

Ole Miss (2-0) hosts the Longhorns (2-0) today at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in the first meeting between the two programs since 1966. It’s a major opportunity for the Rebels to show their program is on the right track under firstyear coach Hugh Freeze.

For Texas, it’s another game to show its rebuilding days are over.

“When it comes to these games, you shouldn’t get nervous,” Ole Miss defensive back Charles Sawyer said. “It’s just another opportunity to show people what you’re made of — show what type of player you are. We can do that and make a good impression. This season could skyrocket.”

It won’t be easy; Ole Miss is a big underdog. The Rebels had a 2-10 record

last season and the roster is still short on talent.

But the Rebels feel like they’ve got a chance thanks to a much-improved offense that’s gained more than 500 total yards in victories over Central Arkansas and UTEP. Junior quarterback Bo Wallace has received most of the credit for the fast start, completing 35 of 46 passes for 438 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. He also leads the team in rushing with 135 yards and two touchdowns.

Wallace got a look from Texas during when he was being recruited out of East Mississippi Community College last season, but never took a campus visit.

Like many of these inexperienced Rebels, this will be his first action in a marquee game. Freeze is trying to harness his team’s enthusiasm without letting it lead to distraction.

“Hopefully you won’t notice a difference,” Freeze said. “Saturday night there will be a little

more excitement around.

Our young kids will have to handle that emotionally and mentally. We won’t treat our preparation any differently.”

Texas is trying to continue its own mini-revival after two subpar seasons under veteran coach Mack Brown. The Longhorns beat Wyoming in their opener and dominated New Mexico last weekend 45-0, holding the Lobos to just 241 total yards.

Now they’re looking for a road win against a South-

eastern Conference opponent. Texas safety Adrian Phillips said the Longhorns don’t care about the Rebels from 2011 because this year’s team looks completely different.

“They’re a good team,” Phillips said. “I know that they’ve had some problems in the past, but that’s every team in America. So since they’re back on their horse, they’re trying to build the thing back up. So when we go in there, we just have to make sure that we’re on our stuff.”

TALE OF THE TAPE

of the

When Kansas has the ball Kansas rush offense vs. TCU rush defense KU’s 1-2 punch of Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox has been solid during the first couple of weeks, but they figure to face their toughest test yet against TCU, which has led the nation in total defense during five of the past 13 seasons. KU coach Charlie Weis said earlier this week he was confident the Jayhawks would be able to run the ball well this week and added that his team might rely a little more on the run game to take some of the pressure off of struggling quarterback Dayne Crist. KU ran it 48 times for 263 yards in the opener and 36 times for 195 yards last week. If the Jayhawks are to go beyond those totals this week, look for injured tailback Brandon Bourbon or even fullback Marquis Jackson to snag a couple of carries to help keep Pierson and Cox fresh.

Edge: Push.

Kansas pass offense vs. TCU pass defense It will be all eyes on Crist in Week 3, as the KU quarterback who has struggled in his first two games as a Jayhawk vows to play looser and have more fun against the Horned Frogs.

Two things to watch there: 1. Can Crist actually do that? So far, he’s seemed pretty tight and had plenty of moments of panic while dropping back to pass. 2. If he does start to loosen up and have more fun, will it actually matter? KU’s passing game has looked largely out of sync throughout the early portion of the season. Part of that is because of Crist, and the other part LM Otero/AP Photos is because of the KU receivers.

One thing that could play to KU’s advantage is that TCU’s base defense, like Rice’s a week ago, operates with five defensive backs.

NOTEBOOK

TCU’s Patterson has ties to Kansas

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Gary Patterson’s past is full of moments in Kansas.

From the time he was born in Larned to his days as a safety and linebacker at Kansas State, and, later, a graduate assistant at his alma mater, some of Patterson’s fondest memories and deepest connections come from the Sunflower State.

“My uncle, Harold Patterson, is a Hall of Famer at KU,” said Patterson of the former Kansas University end, who played from 1952-53. “Another uncle, Ray Patterson, played for Bill Parcells at Wichita State. I have a lot of history going back that direction.”

The list will grow by one at 11 a.m. today, when Patterson brings 16thranked TCU to Memorial Stadium for the school’s first Big 12 Conference game.

Although it’s clear whom the 12-year TCU veteran will be pulling for in today’s meeting, Patterson has had plenty of Rock-Chalk moments in his past.

“I was probably more of a Kansas fan growing up,” he said. “But I felt I was a better fit (as a player) at Kansas State. A lot of my friends ended up going to Kansas State, and I walked on there. My family is split, about half Kansas and half K-State.”

In addition to playing and coaching at Kansas State, Patterson coached linebackers for a year at Pitt State and played two seasons of football at Dodge City Community College before transferring to K-State.

Patterson is not the only member of the TCU program to have ties to Kansas. The Horned Frogs’ roster features three Kansans — Blaize Foltz and Brady Foltz (Rose Hill) and Tyler Matthews (McPherson) — but Patterson said he did not think today’s homecoming would be a distraction for any of them.

“I haven’t spoken to them about it,” Patterson said. “For us, it’s like Texas kids here playing (hometown teams) all the time. I know (they) would like to win the ballgame.”

KANSAS QUARTERBACK DAYNE CRIST (10) THROWS against Rice during their game Sept. 8 at Memorial Stadium. Crist has been sacked just twice this season.

O-Line OK Through the season’s first two games, the Jayhawks have identified plenty of areas of weakness that need to be addressed.

The offensive line is not one of them.

“We’ve given up two sacks in two games, and we’ve rushed the ball up and down the field against everybody,” KU coach Charlie Weis said matter-of-factly.

“You have to give some credit to the offensive line.”

Not only has KU’s offensive line opened enough holes for tailbacks Tony Pierson and Taylor Cox to each average 100 yards per game and more than 6 yards per carry, but it also has done a wonderful job of keeping opposing defenses away from quarterback Dayne Crist.

While Crist has struggled to settle in, he said he has been pleased with the protection in front of him.

“I really have,” he said.

“I haven’t had to worry about that at all. You’re gonna take hits, it’s part of the game. But I think the guys up front have done a great job.”

Ready to run?

While the running backs have been a bright spot for the Jayhawks so far, things figure to get more difficult when a bigger, tougher TCU team lines up on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage today.

While Weis fully expects TCU defensive coordinator Dick Bumpas to present a new challenge for his offense, the first-year KU

K\Yb Hcbm gU]X Å@YhÈg V`ck h\Y fccZ cZZ h\]g d`UWY Æ kY UggiaYX ]h kUg `]_Y U aYhUd\cf"

coach said he believed his running game was capable of continuing to roll.

“Let’s face it, you just played the almost identical scheme last week so you schemed that scheme,” Weis said. “Besides, your players created some running lanes, but (Bumpas is) going to take that away.

He’s not going to sit there and say, ‘OK, they were running that, so I’m going to let him run, let them have those plays.’ So what that forces you to do is come up with new ideas, (and) I think we feel pretty confident that we have ways to attack them in the running game.”

Trick play policy In each of the first two games, Weis has called some kind of a trick play on the Jayhawks’ first offensive series. In Week 1, a slight-of-hand, delayed bomb from Crist to Kale Pick went for a 43-yard gain and energized the home crowd. The second, a ‘Jayhawk’ formation flea-flicker, was intercepted by Rice. However, just because the Jayhawks are batting .500 in that department does not mean Weis plans to get conservative.

“Going into a game, I always have multiple fleaflickers,” Weis said. “I mean, I have a list of them all ready to be dialed up.

But, you know, there’s a risk/reward factor when you call them. When they work, everyone thinks they’re great. (When) they don’t work, then you’re dumb. So the risk/reward factor for a play like that is high on both ends.”

CHRIST THE REDEEMER STATUE, on the top of Corcovado Mountain, and the Sugar Loaf Mountain are seen from the Parque Nacional da Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro. This nearly 10,000-square-acre expanse of forest in Rio is what allows this densely populated city to breathe. Trails of various lengths and levels of difficulty run through the forest, leading up to peaks with stunning views of the city below.

The best things in Rio are free

By Juliana Barbassa Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — After years of steady economic growth in Brazil, the dream of an on-thecheap exotic vacation in Rio de Janeiro has melted faster than a Popsicle in tropical sunshine.

Now, sipping something fancy in boutique bars dotting bourgeois neighborhoods like Ipanema and Leblon will run you a tab to rival any in New York, London or Paris. Even down-home finger-food and a cold beer at a corner bar come at eye-popping prices. But cariocas, as Rio residents are known, don’t call their hometown the “marvelous city,” or cidade maravilhosa, because of chi-chi eateries or faddish clubs. It’s the stunning natural setting, the easy charm of locals and the culture that give the city its flair. And those can all be had for nada at the following spots:

Beach, beach, beach Rio boasts some of the world’s most stunning urban beaches and they’re worth several visits.

Cariocas spend much of their free time sunning themselves, chatting up neighbors, toning their muscles and then showing them off on these long stretches of white sand, so beach-going makes for great people-watching. Go to Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon or Praia Vermelha, at the foot of the Sugarloaf Mountain, if you want to stay in the city.

Leave behind the backdrop of buildings and go to beaches in the western suburbs of Barra da Tijuca and Recreio for a quieter experience. Prainha, farther out, makes for great surfing. Keep going west and you’ll hit Grumari, the most remote beach, a jewel of a spot surrounded by a nature preserve.

Parque Lage and the famous statue About a half-mile away from the also-gorgeous but not free Jardim Botanico, or Botanical Gardens, Parque Lage has as much charm as its better-known neighbor. Like the Botanical Gardens, this park is a vast green space unfolding from the skirts of the Corcovado mountain, on which Rio’s famous Christ

ployed at GSI Engineering in Wichita, KS, as a geologist.

The couple plan a Jan. 19, 2013, wedding at Corpus Christi Church in Lawrence.

Cooper-Shane Engagement Scott and Terri Cooper announce the engagement of their daughter, Katelin Cooper, all of Garnett, to Douglas Shane, Louisburg.

The future bride is also the granddaughter of Rosalie Burkhead of Lawrence and the late Dean Burkhead. Katelin is a 2007 graduate of Anderson County High School.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Kansas State University in 2010, and is employed at Kansas State Bank in Manhattan.

The future groom is the son of Scott and Beverly Shane, Louisburg. Douglas is a 2007 graduate of Louisburg High School.

He earned a bachelor’s

Katelin Cooper and Douglas Shane degree in Animal Science from Kansas State University in 2011. He is currently pursuing a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and a PhD in Pathobiology and Clinical Sciences at Kansas State University.

The couple plan an October 13, 2012 wedding at Our Lady Of Sorrows Catholic Church in Kansas City.

Noller-Smaczniak Birth Announcement

the Redeemer statue is perched. It has two added attractions: an early 20th century mansion, which now houses an art school and a worthwhile little cafe that has good weekend brunches, and a steep trail that leads hikers nearly to the feet of the Christ statue. Getting close to the statue itself costs money, but hikers can take in the views from the platform below and hike back down for free.

Jordan Noller-Smaczniak and Steve Smaczniak, Lawrence, announce the birth of their daughter, Scotlyn Eugene NollerSmaczniak, born Aug. 31, 2012, in Overland Park.

Historic Rio Rio was once the seat of an empire, and then the capital of newly independent Brazil. Aspects of this history can be seen in a winding walk through the cobblestoned streets that remain downtown. Within a few blocks, you can see the Paco Imperial, or Royal Palace, the home where the Portuguese royal family settled when they fled Europe just ahead of Napoleon’s advancing troops, and the Biblioteca Nacional, or National Library, with a collection that has been growing since 1810. Nearby is the neoclassical Teatro Municipal, the Municipal Theater. It’s all granite, marble and bronze, modeled after the Paris Opera. Two little cobblestone streets in the area, Rua do Ouvidor and Rua do Rosario, are among the best preserved examples of Portuguese colonial architecture. Rua do Ouvidor in particular gets packed during happy hour as several of the buildings have been turned

into bars. It’s also a great place to hear samba (see below). For contemporary culture, check out three important cultural centers in the area: Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil, Centro Cultural dos Correios, and Casa Franca Brasil.

They have rotating exhibits that are generally free.

Samba Rio’s signature percussiondriven rhythm can be heard in classy indoor music venues, sure, but old-school samba circles can pop up without notice. There are parts of town where musicians traditionally gather, where you can find great samba played the way it was in its origins: outdoors, and free for all. Rua do Ouvidor, or Ouvidor Street in downtown, generally has music on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Pedra do Sal, in the downtown neighborhood of Saude, has samba circles on Mondays and Fridays.

Parque Nacional da Tijuca The most-visited national park in Brazil, this nearly 10,000-square-acre expanse of forest embedded in Rio de Janeiro is what allows this densely populated city to breathe. There are trails of various lengths and levels of difficulty carved through the forest, leading up to peaks with stunning of the city below. Details: http://www. parquedatijuca.com.br.

Dear Annie: When can we stop giving our children money? When is enough enough?

My daughter and her husband are in their mid-30s. They bought a house they could not afford. On top of that, they are in the middle of filing for bankruptcy, as they have been overspending for years. My daughter works two jobs that provide neither a consistent paycheck nor benefits. Her husband’s job is more stable, but his salary is low.

At one point, we gave her one of our used cars, which she was able to keep running for a couple of years. When that car died, I took money out of my retirement fund to buy her a used car. My son-in-law’s mother just bought them a new oven.

My question is: When does all this stop? I worked for 30 years and never once asked my

When an adult child is having temporary financial difficulties, it is a kindness for a parent to offer to help. But if a parent is constantly bailing out an irresponsible spendthrift, the handouts must stop before

Can ‘SNL’ bring election laughs?

Seth MacFarlane hosts the 38th season premiere of “Saturday Night Live” (10:30 p.m., NBC), featuring musical guest Frank Ocean. “SNL” begins anew after two major departures, three new hires, a last-minute retention and a prevailing sense that the 2012 presidential election just may not be so rich in comedy gold, at least compared to four years ago.

Established stars Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg departed last May. They’ll be replaced by veterans of Chicago’s Second City comedy troupe: Cecily Strong, Tim Robinson and Aidy Bryant.

There had been some doubt that Jason Sudeikis would be back, but the “Hall Pass” star will return to the cast as the show’s imitator of both Vice President Joe Biden and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

The election of 2008 was custom-made for “SNL,” a series where women comics had come to dominate. Amy Poehler had perfected her Hillary Clinton impersonation, and the surprise nomination of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin gave Tina Fey the role of a lifetime. John McCain’s hot-tempered personality was also ripe for parody by Darrell Hammond.

President Barack Obama has always presented a problem for impersonators working in broad comedy. Fred Armisen has captured his lawyerly cadence, but the best Obama impressions come from Comedy Central’s “Key & Peele,” who don’t so much imitate Obama as imagine the inner rage that he keeps so well buttoned-down and bottledup.

With so little to work with, the writing staff for “SNL” must be very thankful for Clint Eastwood and his peculiar empty chair routine at the Republican National Convention. That was a comedy writer’s dream: strange, unexpected, oddly scary, and a blend of politics and celebrity. Did I mention strange? But weird lightning like that doesn’t strike very often, so “SNL” has its work cut out for it if it wants to make this election seem remotely funny.

parents become impoverished and resentful in a misguided attempt to “save” their children.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Wigged Out,” who has a condition that makes her hair fall out. People constantly ask about her “perfect” hair, and some attempt to pull at her wig.

I have thin hair and wear a weave method called a cap, done by a local hairdresser. It’s a process of braiding or molding one’s hair and putting a stocking cap or mesh on the hair (this allows the hair to breathe).

Then the woven hair is sewn or glued on top. It allows you to wear your hair however you want and is not noticeably different from regular hair.

Hope this helps. — F. Dear F.: Readers offered many suggestions.

Here are more: From Boston: I, too, take medication that contributes to hair loss.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Saturday, Sept. 15: You express an unusual energy and focus this year with whatever interests you. Others are taken aback by your intensity and drive. If you are single and want a meaningful relationship, it is yours to have. If you are attached, be careful not to be too me-oriented.

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) You have get-up-and-go, as you are inspired to approach life differently. The unexpected runs riot, as usual. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) No one has to tell you what to do, as you are focused on a goal and not about to lose concentration. Tonight: Change into weekend gear.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Pressure builds, but it is coming from your own internal judgments. Stop, think and depower the situation. Tonight: At home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Keep conversations moving, and you’ll be more likely to believe what someone says. Your imagination could go haywire from just one statement. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Make needed resolutions, especially regarding your finances.

Many people have great ideas for how to spend your funds, yet few recommendations have to do with savings. Tonight: Your treat.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be energized by a call you have yet to make. You could create a whirlwind of activ-

My husband encouraged me to order some beautiful synthetic wigs, which I have worn for years. At one event, a woman said she wished her hair could always look as nice as mine. I replied, “It can,” and lifted off my wig. It turned the party upside down, and everyone had a ball trying on my wig and getting info. A wig is no different from a hat, scarf or barrette. It is an accessory to enhance the beauty of the head.

Wisconsin: She should a hairpiece that is bonded to her scalp and stays on for weeks at a time. Either of these would be more natural looking and cooler than a wig. I have been wearing lightweight bonded hairpieces for 10 years.

I can swim, play golf, exercise, sleep and anything else without removing my hair. No one can tell, and I am never “wigged out.”

ity as you tear through your day.

Tonight: The world is your oyster.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The front you put up when speaking to strangers has nothing to do with your inner musings. You could be hurt or angry by a loved one’s negative feelings or crankiness. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You naturally gravitate to where your friends are. You might not be sure of what to say, but that’s OK — just be yourself.

Tonight: Let the party begin.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might want to kick back, but once others start following your lead, you could become a bit tense. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Tonight: Why not go into the wee hours?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take off and go to that flea market or art show you have wanted to check out. The experience will revive your energy and also give you new insights into a situation in your day-to-day life.

Tonight: Go for exotic.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Someone might ask you to fill in or take over a responsibility, and you are likely to say “yes.”

The good news is that a partner supports you. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You could see that a lot of people seek you out, need you and want to be around you. You are learning to greet acceptance and popularity. Tonight: With a favorite person.
