KIM JOHNSON, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF HEALTH CARE ACCESS, laughs with other volunteers as they pull a chain of bras to be attached to the Kansas River Bridge during the setup for Bras Across the Kaw on Monday. The annual event is designed to draw attention to breast cancer, as October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. AT TOP, some bras were decorated before they were donated. See the video at LJWorld.com.

‘Rabbit, Run’ by John Updike Artist: Webmocker.

Reason for banning: Banned from sales in Ireland because it was deemed obscene and indecent. Removed from libraries and curricula in the United States for profanity and explicit sexual references.

Excerpt from artist’s statement: Burning and otherwise destroying books being a favorite activity of censors, deconstruction seemed an appropriate approach to this tattered (literally falling apart as I read it) copy of “Rabbit, Run.” Coincidentally, this book was purchased at the Friends of the Lawrence Public Library book sale.

KU law school bucks national trend, posts enrollment increase “

By Matt Erickson

merickson@ljworld.com

While the number of people applying to law schools continued to fall nationwide, the Kansas University School of Law rebounded with a 19 percent increase in applications for 2012, the school announced Monday.

The school received 973 applications from prospective students in 2012, compared with 819 applications in 2011. The uptick brought the school about halfway back to the numbers it saw in 2010, when 1,120 people applied.

Across the country, the number of people applying for law school admission in

She was born November 14, 1918 in Lamar, CO, the daughter of George Wesley and Jessie (Anderson) Jones.

She was a graduate of Liberty Memorial High School in Lawrence, KS and received a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Education from Washburn University. She was a member of Alpha Chi Omega at University of Kansas.

Burglaries CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

was a victim of one of 94 aggravated home burglaries — those in which someone was home during the crime — reported to police between May and the end of August, according to records supplied by Lawrence police.

A Journal-World analysis of those burglary reports shows what police have been saying for the past several months: There really doesn’t seem to be a strong pattern of where or how the crimes are occurring.

The crimes are just as likely on the weekend as the weekdays and just as common in northwest Lawrence as in the southeast part of the city.

“It provides a tremendous challenge,” said Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley as he looked over a burglary map created from the burglary reports.

The crimes started in southwest Lawrence, McKinley said, and police increased patrol efforts in those areas. Then burglary reports shifted north, then east, then west, until any discernible patterns washed away.

What also changed was how burglars were gaining entry, and their boldness.

In May, as police began reporting the spike, many of the homes, such as Yoder’s, were being entered through an unlocked

The family will receive friends from 10-11 a.m., Thursday, October 4, 2012 at the Mount Hope Chapel, 4700 SW 17th Street, Topeka.

A graveside service will follow in Mount Hope Cemetery, Topeka. Madge will lie in state at the PenwellGabel Southwest Chapel, 3700 SW Wanamaker Rd, Topeka, from 4 to 8 p.m., Wednesday.

Memorial contributions may be made to Grace Hospice, 3715 SW 29th St # 100, Topeka, KS 66614 or Nursing Scholarship at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor, 1429 Kasold Dr, Lawrence, KS 66049.

She attended Neosho Falls schools and graduated in 1936. The family moved to Lawrence in 1960.

BY THE NUMBERS Between May 1 and Aug. 31, there were 94 aggravated home burglaries reported in Lawrence, although six did not have available police reports.

In the cases when time of offense was known, the burglary happened:

As public awareness increased and police urged residents to lock doors and leave on lights, police began seeing more forcedentry burglaries. About half of the reported cases involve forced entry.

In one case, McKinley said, burglars even entered through front door and walked right past residents sleeping in a living room.

Clearance rate While police have increased efforts and made solving and preventing crimes a top priority, the randomness of the burglaries has left a less-than-impressive clearance rate. Of the 94 burglaries analyzed by the Journal-World, police have arrested eight sus-

pects for 10 burglaries.

But those figures are deceptive, McKinley said.

One factor is that residents are reporting more of the crimes, some of which, in the past, may have been brushed aside, McKinley said. With the increased focus on home burglaries, even someone rattling at a door or screen gets a police call.

While that may affect how clearance rates look, that’s what police want, McKinley said. They want local residents to call them.

Even attempted burglaries, or what seem like brief and unsuccessful burglary attempts, help police track crimes and could lead to a clue that helps solve other cases.

out of that,” he said.

And while police may suspect that someone who’s been arrested also is guilty of other crimes, police are left with the cases they can prove, McKinley said.

More clearances may be on the horizon, though, as evidence testing results begin trickling in from the lab.

In many of the cases, police have collected fingerprints or other DNA that they hope will produce suspects in some of the crimes from months ago.

Simple measures The same advice to Lawrence residents to prevent home burglaries that’s been repeated for months holds true, McKinley said.

Lock your doors, keeps exterior lights on, pay close attention to activity in your neighborhood and notify police of anything unusual.

“None of that has changed,” he said.

For residents such as Yoder, who’s lived at his home for 15 years and has never had a previous burglary attempt, home safety, unfortunately, gets top billing now. The family has updated its security system and added motiondetecting lights, among other measures.

In the past, the family didn’t always twist that lock at the back door in their quiet neighborhood.

“We do now,” Yoder said.

Three people arrested in pair of recent burglaries T Staff Report

Police have made three home burglary arrests since Friday:

Two Lawrence men were arrested Saturday evening by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on charges of home burglary, vehicle burglary, criminal damage to property and theft. The al-

leged crimes occurred about 5 p.m. Saturday at a residence just southwest of Eudora. Only one of the men, 21-year-old Lawrence man Jerrame Mullin, was charged Monday in Douglas County District Court with home burglary, theft and criminal damage. Mullin’s bond was set at $2,500.

A 27-year-old Lawrence woman was charged Monday in Douglas County District Court with six charges, including home burglary and marijuana possession and distribution.

Ashley Dawn Houk was arrested about 5 p.m.

Friday by Lawrence police for a report of burglary in the 500 block of

Florida Street. The reporting party gave a description of the suspect, and police later located and arrested Houk in the 1600 block of Haskell Avenue, according to police.

Stolen items were recovered by police when they arrested Houk, along with marijuana.

Houk is being held on an $8,500 bond.

American Bar Association to see an increase in applications of more than 10 percent, according to materials it received from the LSAC. The LSAC spokeswoman said the group, which administers the Law School Admission Test, could not confirm that figure or release school-by-school application numbers.

Mazza said the school drew about the same number of applications as last year from Kansas residents even though the number of people taking the LSAT test suggested that about 20 percent fewer Kansans applied to law school in 2012. Applications from out-of-state residents rose substantially, he said.

The school put more resources into recruitment for 2012, Mazza said, including the addition off an open house specifically for potential out-of-state students.

“Knowing that law school applications were likely to decline nationally, we sort of anticipated this,” Mazza said.

Steven Freedman, who became the KU law school’s assistant dean for admissions about a year ago, said the school also instituted an easier, paperless application process and increased outreach across Kansas.

But he said he suspected national trends favoring well-known state schools in the Midwest had more to do with the increase in applications.

“I think people in diff ficult times want to go to a safe harbor, a place that they know is respected and well-known,” Freedman said.

Mazza said he was not sure what effect the law school’s national ranking had on its ability to attract applicants, or how the increase might affect its ranking in future years.

The school fell a combined 22 spots in the U.S. News and World Report rankings in 2011 and 2012.

As it faces the possibility that national interest in law school may continue to decline, the school also will launch a new campaign designed to get more college students thinking about going to law school, Mazza said.

One aspect of the campaign, called “Change the Conversation,” will involve teaching potential students that a law degree does not have to lead to a traditional career such as an attorney for a law firm, as students can find careers in government or with corporations or nonprofit groups.

“We need to counter some of the national press about law school,” Mazza said.

Man pleads to 3 robbery charges A 24-year-old Lawrence man pleaded no contest to three robbery charges Thursday stemming from a series of armed robberies in Lawrence in 2007.

Mario O. Jordan had pleaded guilty to similar charges in 2008 and was sentenced to 59 months in prison. However, Jordan appealed his conviction based on ineffective assistance of counsel. A Douglas County district judge found in Jordan’s favor in 2011 and set aside the convictions.

Jordan pleaded Thursday to two counts of attempted aggravated robbery and one count of aggravated robbery. Jordan and another Topeka man, Javier Cox, 18, were arrested November 2007 after robberies at two Kwik Shops. Cox has since pleaded guilty and received probation.

Jordan remained in prison during the appeal and is scheduled for sentencing Oct. 25.

TOPEKA (AP) — An autographed first-edition copy of “In Cold Blood” that was given to a Kansas Bureau of Investigation employee by author Truman Capote has been donated to Washburn University, more than 20 years after it was found at an estate sale.

Tom Averill, an English professor and writer in residence at Washburn, donated the book to the university’s Thomas Fox Averill Kansas Studies

TOPEKA — A judge has blocked the sale of investigative records and photographs related to the 1959 murders of the Clutter family in Holcomb, which became the subject of Truman Capote’s true-crime novel “In Cold Blood.”

Shawnee County District Judge Larry Hendricks entered a temporary restraining order to stop the sale of the items while their legal ownership is determined, Attorney General Derek Schmidt said Monday.

But no one on the task force goes into a classroom or school building each day. There are no teachers, principals, superintendents or school fiscal officers.

Sherriene Jones-Sontag, a spokeswoman for Brownback, said the governor wanted the task force to have expertise in finance and spending.

The news release from Brownback’s office on the task force says that currently “only 15 of the 286 school districts in Kansas adhere to state law that requires at least 65 percent of funds provided by the state to school districts are to be spent in the classroom or for instruction.”

However, there is no state law that requires 65 percent of school funding be spent in the classroom.

There is a state law that says “it is the policy goal” of the state that at least 65 percent of funds from the state be spent in the classroom or for instruction.

Manchester worked at the KBI from 1959 to 1967, but it is unclear whether she played any role in the Clutter investigation, the Capital-Journal reported.

Wilkerson learned about the Kansas Studies Collection when she audited an Averill class on Kansas authors in spring 2012. When she brought it to Averill to donate to the collection, he initially said he couldn’t take a book that is likely worth a lot of money.

When Wilkerson said she would donate it elsewhere if Averill didn’t take it, he accepted the book.

State wants Clutter murder files back Staff Report

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

The attorney general’s petition also seeks to stop any reproduction, publication, distribution or sale of the photographs, files and reports.

It asks the court to declare that the state of Kansas is the owner of the files and records relating to the murders of Herb Clutter, his wife and two of their children, and to order the return of the materials to the state’s custody.

“The crime scene and autopsy photographs and the criminal investigation case materials are clearly the property of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation

and should not be auctioned off, particularly for personal gain,” Schmidt said.

“It is important for these materials to be returned to the state of Kansas for the protection of the integrity of the records and out of respect for the Clutter family,” he said.

The files kept by Agent Harold Nye include notebooks and crime scene photographs.

An auction had been opened in July by Vintage Memorabilia, a Seattlebased auction company specializing in film and literature relics. Capote’s

book inspired a movie of the same name.

Vintage Memorabilia President Gary McAvoy said Nye’s son, Ronald Nye, of Oklahoma City, gave him the materials for the auction a few months ago. The auction had opened at $20,000.

The items also include letters from Capote to Nye. In one of the letters, Capote complained after the executions of convicted killers Richard “Dick” Hickock and Perry Edward Smith were postponed, saying he wanted to finish the book and put it behind him.

Drive-thru flu shot clinic not offered this year in Lawrence

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

There will not be a free drive-thru flu vaccine clinic this year in Lawrence.

For the past two years, the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department organized a drivethru clinic to test community public health emergency response plans, and at least a dozen agencies helped, including the Lawrence Police Department and Kansas University’s School of Pharmacy. During the first year, 402 shots were administered, followed by 505 the second year.

Charlotte Marthaler, assistant director, said the department used grant funding to purchase the flu vaccine, which was given away for free at both clinics. She said the second clinic was held to test improvements that were suggested after the first one.

This year, Douglas County residents will need to get their vaccines

Jones-Sontag said Brownback believes school districts should be hitting that 65 percent mark.

But like similar provisions in other states, the so-called “65 percent solution” has been controversial because there is a lot of debate over what should count as classroom spending.

The Kansas Department of Education provides an annual report to the federal government that shows the percentage of instructional dollars spent out of each district’s operating expenditures.

In this report, most districts are in the 60 percent to 65 percent range.

For example, in the 2010-11 school year, the Lawrence school district was at 61.76 percent, while Eudora was 61.17 percent and Baldwin City, 61.43 percent.

In the report, however, expenditures that some say contribute to student performance are not counted, such as librarians, school nurses, counselors, food service, transportation and some special education-related services.

at the health department’s clinic, 200 Maine, one of its five area clinics, or elsewhere, like their pharmacy, doctor’s office or workplace, and the sooner the better.

Ryan Burns, director of immunization at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said the timing and severity of the flu season are difficult to predict and vary from year to year, but it typically starts in October.

“By getting your flu vaccine before you see or hear about the first case of flu in your community, you give yourself and your family the best opportunity to stay flu-free throughout the season,” he said.

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death.

KDHE urges everyone 6 months and older to get vaccinated against the flu.

It takes about two weeks after the vaccination for antibodies to develop in

“

I look forward to working with this outstanding group of Kansans who have varied private and public sector experiences and expertise — especially in accounting and budget planning.”

— Ken Willard of Hutchinson, chairman of the new Governor’s School Efficiency Task Force The issue of school funding has been at the forefront of political campaigns this year.

A lawsuit brought by some districts alleges the Legislature has failed its constitutional duty to adequately fund schools because of approximately $500 million in state cuts to education during the recession.

And Brownback and his fellow Republicans in the Legislature recently pushed through tax cuts that critics say will lead to classroom cuts because school funding makes up

the body and provide protection against influenza virus infection.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department’s flu vaccine clinics will be:

Today — 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Eudora Middle School, 2635 Church St.

Oct. 9 — noon to 1 p.m., Lawrence Interdenominational Nutrition Kitchen at First Christian Church, 221 W. 10th St.

The American Institute for Economic Research ranked Lawrence at No. 8 among college towns with populations below 250,000 in its 2012 College Destinations Index.

The rankings are based on 12 different metrics, including the number of students in the city’s population, cost of living, per-capita income and the percentage of 25- to 34-year-olds with at least a bachelor’s degree.

Lawrence was the second-ranked Big 12 Conference town on the list, after Ames, Iowa, home of Iowa State University. It outranked Columbia, Mo. (No. 10), and Manhattan, Kan. (No. 14).

No charges yet in recent alcohol-related cases

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Charges have yet to be filed in three recent alcohol-related vehicle accidents, each of which sent people to the hospital with serious injuries.

The three incidents are:

Kansas University student Colby Liston, 18, had both legs amputated after a vehicle driven by 21-year-old KU student Julian Kuszmaul hit Liston, pinning him between two vehicles in the 1600 block of Tennessee Street on Aug. 26. At the scene, officers suspected Kuszmaul was intoxicated by both marijuana and alcohol.

Hannah Swank, a

20-year-old KU student, was hit in the road on Ninth Street, near the intersection at Ohio Street,

by KU student Jay E. Berryman, 25, on Sept. 2. Both Berryman and Swank were suspected of alcohol intoxication by officers at the scene. Swank was airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries following the accident.

The Lawrence Public Library will launch the Dr. Bob Book program during a reception at 10:30 a.m.

Friday in the library’s lobby, 707 Vt. The program celebrates the life of former Kansas University Athletic Director Bob Frederick, who died June 12, 2009, at age 69 after a bicycle accident.

The program’s mission is to encourage children to be healthy through exercise, good nutrition and lots of reading.

Created by Frederick’s four sons, Chris, Mark, Brad and Brian, the Dr. Bob Book program will provide a free book along with a book nameplate and bookmark for children who sign up for their first library card.

The books will focus on eating right, exercise, good sportsmanship and treating one another with respect — all values that Frederick embodied.

About 1,200 children sign up to use the library each year.

Bob Frederick’s sons and his wife, Margey, plan to attend the reception, which is free and open to the public.

For more information, contact Kathleen Morgan, executive director of the Lawrence Public Library Foundation, at 843-3833, ext. 131, or kmorgan@lawrencepubliclibrary.org.

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas education officials blamed a calculation error Monday for overreporting the amount the achievement gap between poor and more affluent students and minority and nonminority students grew on this year’s state tests.

The Kansas Department of Education said in a news release that the issue was with how the state dealt with three districts that don’t give their eighthgrade and high school students the standard state exam. The McPherson, Kansas City, Kan., and Clifton-Clyde districts use the ACT college entrance exam and another test designed for younger students called ACT EXPLORE after receiving a waiver from the federal No Child Left Behind education law. That waiver is different from a statewide waiver Kansas received over the summer.

Scores on the alternative exams were converted so they could be used when calculating statewide results. The problem is older students from the three districts were counted twice, throwing off the statewide scores.

That was particularly problematic because Kansas City, Kan., which has a large number of poor and minority students, saw its scores drop dramatically with the new, more difficult test. State data show

Associated Press

the district went from having 72.4 percent of its 11th-graders at or above standard in reading in 2011 to just 17.9 percent in 2012.

“KCK represents a significant portion of several of the subgroups — African-Americans, Hispanics, probably special education,” said Tom Foster, Kansas State Department of Education director for career standards and assessment services. “There are a lot of students in KCK. It’s a big district. So when they used ACT assessments, their scores took a dip and that made the state averages do the same.”

District spokesman David Smith said a drop in test scores was anticipated because the ACT test is more rigorous than the state exam. “Districts across the state had kids who were proficient on the state exam and had to take remedial courses in colleges,” he said of the reason for the change.

Still, when the miscalculated statewide scores were released last month, the drops they showed generated concerns that cuts to the state education budget is hurting students’ performance.

The state has updated statewide information to reflect results only for students who took state-administered assessments.

The eighth-grade and high school results from the three districts with waivers were calculated separately and apart from the statewide results.

The new numbers show the gap between students receiving government subsidized meals and

Survey suggests little economic growth ahead in Midwest OMAHA, NEB. — Little or no economic growth is likely this year in most of the nine Midwest and Plains states covered by a survey of business leaders, but the booming oil business will continue to drive growth in North Dakota and Oklahoma, according to the report released Monday.

The region’s overall economic index improved to a weak 50.4 in September from August’s 49.7.

Any score above 50 suggests economic growth in the months ahead, while a score below 50 suggests a decline. North Dakota’s state economic index hit 61.6 in September, and Oklahoma’s registered 56.6 thanks to the oil boom.

Crawford, who has at least three prior drunken driving convictions, was intoxicated.

That such cases take weeks, and sometimes months, to lead to arrests and charges isn’t unusual, however, said Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson, who couldn’t comment on specific cases.

In some cases, police often don’t arrest suspects at the scene, instead opting to wait for official blood test results, which can take several weeks and even months. When the results return, the case is referred to prosecutors, who then must research the criminal history of a suspect, Branson

said. That can be a timeconsuming process, as prosecutors must obtain certified records from other municipalities. But it’s a necessary process, as the number of previous DUI convictions can lead to different charges, Branson said.

One of the other reasons charges aren’t filed the next day, as is typical in DUI cases, is that there’s a concern suspects could quickly plead guilty and avoid a more serious charge if any victims in the cases later die, which could trigger a manslaughter charge.

economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, said concerns about U.S. fiscal policy, the elections, inflation and Europe’s economic turmoil slowed the economy.

“Supply managers, much like the entire business sector, remain very pessimistic regarding future economic conditions,” Goss said.

The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

The region’s employment index remained negative, slipping to 46.1 in September from August’s 49.5. Goss said that’s the lowest jobs index since the recession ended in 2009.

“I expect the regional

economy to lose both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing jobs, albeit at a slow pace, in the final quarter of 2012,” Goss said.

Job gains in North Dakota, Oklahoma and Iowa will be offset by job losses in the other six states, he predicted. While strength in the energy industry is fueling growth in North Dakota and Oklahoma, Iowa is growing mostly because of strong manufacturing performance.

The prices-paid index increased to 66 in September from August’s 65.2, suggesting inflation ahead.

“The combination of drought conditions and the Federal Reserve’s easy or cheap money policies are driving the wholesale level higher,” Goss said.

The problem is older students from the three districts, the McPherson, Kansas City, Kan., and CliftonClyde districts, were counted twice, throwing off the statewide scores. those who aren’t grew less. Overall scores didn’t drop as much either.

Originally, for instance, the reading performance gap between black and white students was report-

ed to have grown by 7.5 percentage points. Recalculated, it actually grew by 3.1 percentage points.

The state remains concerned, though. A task force formed in the wake of the initial score release to look at the achievement gap will remain in effect, and its members are expected to make recommendations to the Kansas Board of Education in the spring. The state board also will consider in October whether to combine the scores of students taking the ACT tests with those taking the state exam.

BRIEFLY At least 20 hurt in train crash HANFORD, CALIF. — Two cars and the locomotive of an Amtrak train carrying about 169 passengers derailed Monday after colliding with a big rig truck in California’s Central Valley, authorities said.

At least 20 passengers suffered minor to moderate injuries, authorities said.

The crash occurred when the driver of the big rig carrying cotton trash failed to yield and hit the train, authorities said. The impact pushed the two passenger cars and the locomotive off the tracks south of Hanford, a farming town.

The train traveled about 600 feet after the collision before hitting a switchback and derailing, according to California Patrol Officer Scott Harris.

Bernanke defends Fed rate policies WASHINGTON (AP) — Chairman Ben Bernanke offered a wide-ranging defense Monday of the Federal Reserve’s aggressive policies to stimulate the still-weak Bernanke economy.

The Fed needs to drive down long-term borrowing rates because the economy isn’t growing fast enough to reduce high unemployment, Bernanke said in a speech to the Economic Club of Indiana. The unemployment rate is 8.1 percent.

Low rates could also help shrink the federal budget deficit by easing the government’s borrowing costs and generating tax revenue from stronger growth, Bernanke argued.

The chairman cautioned Congress against adopting a law that would allow it to monitor the Fed’s interestrate discussions. The House has passed legislation to broaden Congress’ investigative authority over the Fed — authority that would include a review of interestrate policymaking. The Senate hasn’t adopted the bill.

Bomber kills 14 in Afghanistan KABUL, AFGHANISTAN — A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a motorcycle packed with explosives into a joint U.S.-Afghan patrol on Monday, killing 14 people including three Americans in the latest attack on an increasingly fraught program to help Afghan forces take over security so foreign troops can withdraw from the country over the next two years.

The attack followed more American casualties over the weekend that pushed the U.S. military’s death toll for the 11-year-war above 2,000 — a figure that has climbed steadily in recent months as attacks on the so-called “partnering” initiative have risen.

Joint patrols between NATO and Afghan forces, like the one targeted Monday, have been limited following a tide of attacks by Afghan soldiers and police on their international allies.

PEOPLE WAIT IN LINE to enter the Supreme Court in Washington on Monday.

The high court is embarking on a new term with the prospect for major rulings about affirmative action, gay marriage and voting rights.

SUPREME COURT

Justices open big term with human rights case

By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court plunged into its new term Monday with a high-stakes dispute between businesses and human rights groups over accountability for foreign atrocities. The next nine months hold the prospect for major rulings on affirmative action, gay marriage and voting rights.

The term that concluded in June set a high bar for drama and significance, and the new one holds considerable potential as well.

Cases involving some of the most emotional issues in American life are likely to be decided after voters choose a president and new Congress next month.

Meeting on the first Monday in October, as required by law, the justices entered the crowded marble courtroom for the first time since their momentous decision in late June that upheld President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

The decisive vote in favor of Obamacare, Chief Justice John Roberts was smiling as he led the justices into the courtroom just after 10 a.m. The conservative chief justice will be watched closely in the coming months for any new indications of a willingness to side with the court’s liberals, as he did in the health care case.

Human rights groups are warily watching the case because it would be a major setback if the court were to rule that foreign victims could not use American courts, under a 1789 law, to seek accountability and money damages.

The lineup of justices was the same as in June, but the bench had a slightly different look nonetheless. Justice Antonin Scalia was without the glasses he no longer needs following cataract surgery over the summer.

Roberts formally opened the term, and the court turned quickly to its first argument, which could have far-reaching implications.

The dispute involves a lawsuit against Royal Dutch Petroleum, or Shell Oil, over claims that the company was complicit in murder and other abuses committed by the Nigerian government against its citizens in the oil-rich Niger Delta.

Human rights groups are warily watching the case because it would be a major setback if the court were to rule that foreign victims could not use American courts, under a 1789 law, to seek accountability and money damages for what they have been through.

The justices appeared ready to impose some limits, but it was unclear how far the court would go to shield businesses and perhaps individuals as well, from human rights lawsuits under the 223-yearold Alien Tort Statute.

Justice Samuel Alito said the Nigerian case has no connection to this country because the businesses, the victims and the location of the abuse all are foreign. “Why does this case belong in the courts of the United States?” Alito asked.

Among other concerns raised by the justices was the prospect that U.S. firms could “be sued in any country in any court in the world,” in Justice Anthony Kennedy’s words.

The Obama administration is partly on the oil company’s side in this case. “There just isn’t any meaningful connection to the United States,” Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. said.

But Verrilli also said the court should not issue a broad ruling that would foreclose all similar lawsuits even when the corporation being sued is American. The administration is not endorsing such lawsuits, but argues that the broader question should wait for an appropriate case. U.S. allies also oppose a broad interpretation of the law.

Obama trying to avoid miscue in first debate on Wednesday

By Julie Pace and Ken Thomas Associated Press

HENDERSON, NEV. — President Barack Obama has one mission heading into his first debate with Republican Mitt Romney: Don’t screw things up.

Five weeks from Election Day, Obama has political momentum and an edge in polls of the battleground states that will determine the election.

But he’s sure to face a blistering challenge from Romney, who needs to use Wednesday’s debate in Denver to change the trajectory of the race.

of top advisers, who are focused on helping Obama trim his o f t e n lengthy e x p l a n a - Obama tions to fit the debate format. Equally important is coaching Obama to look calm and presidential during an onslaught of criticism from Romney.

Obama’s campaign has tried — to the point of hyperbole — to lower expectations for the president and portray him as an underdog who hasn’t had enough time to get ready.

“He has had less time to prepare than we anticipated,” campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki said Sunday. “It’s difficult to schedule significant blocks of time when you’re the president.”

What the expectationlowering aides leave out is that Obama, in fact, has had plenty of time to prepare at the White House and during long flights on Air Force One. And they never mention that only Obama, not Romney, has more experience with

general election debates.

T h e president’s aides also have tried to set skyhigh exRomney pectations for Romney, casting him as a strong debater who won the GOP nomination in part because of the way he dispatched his many competitors in the crucial primary debates.

“Mitt Romney ... has been preparing earlier and with more focus than any presidential candidate in modern history,” Psaki said. “Not John F. Kennedy, not President Bill Clinton, not President George Bush, not Ronald Reagan has prepared as much as he has.”

The most pressing task for Obama, who once taught law at the University of Chicago, is shedding his often wordy, detailed explanations in favor of tighter answers. Aides say Obama isn’t coming prepared with a series of “zingers,” just more concise descriptions of his positions and his criticisms of Romney’s.

WASHINGTON — A typical middle-income family making $40,000 to $64,000 a year could see its taxes go up by $2,000 next year if lawmakers fail to renew a lengthy roster of tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year, according to a new report Monday.

Taxpayers across the income spectrum would be hit with large tax hikes, the Tax Policy Center said in its study, with households in the top 1 percent income range seeing an average tax increase of more than $120,000, while a family making between $110,000 to $140,000 could see a tax hike in the $6,000 range.

Taxpayers across the income spectrum will get slammed with increases totaling more than $500 billion — a more than 20 percent increase — with nine out of 10 households being affected by the expiration of tax cuts enacted under both President Barack Obama and his predecessor, George W. Bush.

The expiring provisions include Bush-era cuts on wage and investment income and cuts for married couples and families with children, among others.

Also expiring is a 2 percentage point temporary payroll tax cut championed by Obama.

The looming expiration of the large roster of tax cuts is one of the issues confronting voters in November, with the chief difference between Obama and GOP candidate Mitt Romney being the tax treatment of wealthier earners.

Obama is calling for permit-

ting rates on individual income exceeding $200,000 and family income more than $250,000 to go back to Clinton-era rates of as much as 39.6 percent.

Both candidates call for rewriting the tax code next year, but any such effort promises to be difficult and could take considerable time.

Monday’s study, by the independent Tax Policy Center, deals with the immediate increases set to slap taxpayers in January under the existing framework of the tax code.

Few are talking of renewing Obama’s payroll tax cut, even though that would mean a healthy tax increase for many working people. Working families with modest incomes would be hit hard as the child tax credit would shrink from a maximum of $1,000 per child to $500.

As a result, a married couple earning $50,000 with three dependent children that currently receives an almost $1,500 income tax refund largely due to the child tax credit would see their fortunes reversed by more than $3,000 next year and pay more than $1,500 in income taxes while seeing their payroll taxes go up by $1,000 if the full menu of tax cuts expire.

“It’s just a huge, huge number,” said Eric Toder, one of the authors of the study.

Economists warn that the looming tax hikes, combined with $109 billion in automatic spending cuts scheduled to take effect in January, could throw the fragile economy back into recession if Washington doesn’t act.

Saving Turnhalle Bringing the historic Turnhalle back to life will be a big project, but one that’s well worth tackling.

T

he 1869 Turnhalle building at 900 R.I. is a piece of Lawrence history that’s well worth preserving, and the community should be grateful that the Lawrence Preservation Alliance has stepped up to that task.

LPA announced last week that it had purchased the Turnhalle and would undertake the project of stabilizing the structure and seeking a buyer with a commercial use for the building. The location of the structure, close to the developing Ninth and New Hampshire intersection, may make it particularly attractive for a restaurant or other business that could serve residents of the area.

LPA still is formulating cost estimates for the work, but President Dennis Brown said the building needs $30,000 to $40,000 of work immediately and it could cost $750,000 to $1 million to fully restore the building inside and out. Brown referred to the LPA purchase as “a leap of faith,” but also noted that the hall’s former owner, Rod Ernst, structured a favorable deal for the LPA in recognition of the expensive work that would be required.

The Turnhalle has an interesting and largely unknown history, as outlined in a Journal-World article over the weekend.

It was built as the home of the Lawrence chapter of Turnverein, a traditional German club that blended two favorite activities: gymnastics and beer drinking.

It served as a center of the local German-American community, which was substantial in Lawrence in the late 19th century. However, after World War I stirred up anti-German sentiment across the nation, the organization began a slow decline. By the mid 1930s, the Turnhalle’s purpose was gone and it was sold to Ernst’s grandfather, Philip Ernst.

According to some sources, the hall may be the oldest community structure still standing in Lawrence, one year older than the sanctuary of Plymouth Congregational Church.

LPA has gotten the ball rolling on this significant restoration project, but the organization will need plenty of help to raise the money to bring this building back to life. We hope the community will become engaged in the interesting history of the Turnhalle and the GermanAmerican residents of Lawrence that it served and support LPA efforts to save this significant structure.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 2, 1912: “J. W. Busch has purchased the Pierson Mill and that old Lawrence YEARS institution will pass away and beAGO come the Busch Seed Store in the IN 1912 future. The deal has been pending for some time, but this morning it was closed and Mr. Busch becomes the owner of the mill. Mr. Busch has purchased the building, the machinery and all of the contents of the building, but he does not intend to continue flour-making and will dispose of the machinery. He will move his seed store into the Pierson building and is planning to enlarge his business in this new location.

The Pierson Mill has been grinding flour in Lawrence for many years. The old mill was destroyed many years ago by fire, but the Piersons rebuilt.

Fire threatened the destruction of this new building a short time afterward, but it was placed under control after only minor damage had been done. This time repairs were made and the mill resumed its grinding.

Debates should inform the electorate For decades, it was a matter of conviction among political professionals that most Americans didn’t begin to focus on the presidential election until after the World Series.

That’s just one of many old chestnuts that have been chucked out the window in the new age. Bill Mazeroski’s walk-off home run to win the seventh game of the 1960 World Series occurred on Oct. 13, some 26 days before the election. The seventh game of this year’s World Series is scheduled for Nov. 1, six days before the election. The old formula won’t work anymore.

So the new shorthand is that the decisive phase of the elec-

said to President Jimmy Carter in 1980) have been scripted.

There have been several revealing moments, unforgettable elements of debate folklore. Like the exasperating sighs of Vice President Al Gore during his debate with Gov. George W. Bush in Boston in 2000. Or the excruciating, awkward 27 minutes when President Gerald R. Ford and former Gov. Jimmy Carter stood stiffly at their lecterns during a power outage in the 1976 debate in Philadelphia.

And, of course, the devastating glimpse of President George H.W. Bush looking at his wristwatch in Richmond, Va., in 1992, as if to suggest that he couldn’t wait to get off the stage.

“I saw him look at his watch,” Clinton told Jim Lehrer in an interview in 2000.

“And I — I thought, I felt, when I saw it, that he was, you know, uncomfortable in that setting and wanted it to be over with.”

tion begins with the first debate, which occurs Wednesday night at the University of Denver.

It may seem that presidential campaigns have several resets, most recently the dueling national political conventions. There’s some truth to that. But the twin acceptance speeches of late summer were campaign set pieces, with every element — the venue, the setting, the length, the topic, all of the atmospherics, including the podium and the teleprompters — controlled by the candidates’ hired hands.

It seemed as though Nixater, even if some of the best on — not too often but once in lines (“There you go again,” a while — looked to Kennedy former Gov. Ronald Reagan for approval. But not every-

body saw it that way.”

The impact of this debate — and whether in fact the people who saw it on television thought Kennedy had won while those who heard it on the radio thought that Nixon had won — has itself been a subject of debate for a halfcentury. But there is no debate on this: It’s not optimal to appear to perspire or to fade into the background in a gray suit.

A separate debate has sprouted in recent years, questioning whether these events matter at all. “What history can tell us is that presidential debates, while part of how the game is played, are rarely what decide the game itself,” John Sides, a George Washington University political scientist, wrote in the current Washington Monthly.

Sides cites several studies — plus a 1960 Gallup Poll showing that Nixon led by a single point beforehand and fell behind by 3 points afterward, which may be statistically insignificant — to support his argument. Vanocur now calls the debates “the odes of October,” adding in a telephone conversation, “They have become too much of an event, rather than a substantive turn in politics.”

But they are part of the process, and it is impossible to say in advance what might become an important campaign symbol in retrospect.

Some debate episodes inevitably stick out, as both of the 2012 candidates know well.

Mitt Romney’s remark that the way his 2002 Massachusetts gubernatorial rival, Shannon O’Brien, characterized his views on abortion was “unbecoming” led to a contretemps over whether he was insulting or patronizing to women.

Sen. Barack Obama’s remark that his 2008 Democratic rival

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton was “likable enough” led to a flurry of critiques that he was condescending, insulting or unfeeling.

Does any of that matter?

Wednesday’s debate will include six 15-minute segments, half of them on the economy. One will be on the role of government, and here the two candidates might provide some valuable insights into their philosophy.

Earlier this month, The Associated Press and the National Constitution Center released a poll showing that only two in five Americans believe the government is assuring the well-being of all Americans.

Some searching questions That finding suggests a series of searching questions, examining whether the candidates believe the government is failing to address Americans’ needs (which might mean that it is incompetent, or needlessly bureaucratic, or the captive of special interests), or whether they believe the current conception of the government’s role is inappropriate to the times (which might mean Americans expect too much from Washington, or that an expansive view of government has dulled the public’s sense of responsibility and independence, or that the government’s role is about right for today’s circumstances).

One final thought before the opening bell: Whether presidential debates change the outcome is probably a lot less important than whether they inform the electorate. This is presidential politics, not a World Series game. In fact, this year the debates will be over before the Series is.

PUBLIC FORUM

Out of balance To the editor: I believe in our democracy. I believe we need a balance between responsible conservatives and progressives, but we in Kansas have lost that balance. Our secretary of state is the leader in the national effort to suppress votes and is a national embarrassment. All of our representatives in Washington vote against any bill that supports the middle class, including the farm bill.

This Republican Congress is a giant anchor around the neck of progress. We have a governor who honestly believes that rich business owners should pay no taxes and all of their employees and everyone else who is working to keep a roof over their heads and buy food to feed their children should carry the state’s tax burden. Why do we the common people continue to vote against our own interests?

This is not the Kansas that I know and love. When do we get the courage to confront the fat cat Koch broth-

er manipulators? When do we stand up and say, “The emperor has no clothes”?

I am sick and tired of having the rest of the country thinking of Kansas citizens as backwoods, masochistic idiots.

In the past we have been represented by honest statespeople like Bob Dole, “Ike” Eisenhower, Sandy Praeger and Nancy Kassebaum. They are Republican conservatives who want the best for our state and the common people who live and work here, and they voted accordingly. It is time to stand up and be counted. God forbid you might even need to vote for a Democrat.

E. Kent Hayes, Lawrence

Historic review To the editor: Cultural heritage and authenticity are some of the attributes of a historic neighborhood. The review standards for impacts upon a historic district and environs review are required and well documented. Recent commentary by Mayor Schumm

during the approval process for the “more urbanism” projects at Ninth and New Hampshire are incorrect. It is not correct for any city commissioner to suggest backtracking on the decades-long progress of historic review and preservation in Lawrence.

The recent fiasco of the Varsity House demolition with closed-door negotiations between the Historic Resources Commission, Lawrence Preservation Alliance and Tom Fritzel should also be brought into question by the mayor.

Recent studies in historic preservation find that it can require up to 80 years for a new energy-efficient building to compensate, through more efficient operations, for the negative climate-change impacts created during new construction. Most climates will require 20 to 30 years to break even vs. the reuse and improvement of an existing structure. (Study by Cascade Green Building Council) Energy performance of the restored Varsity House should be part of the project requirements. A gross viola-

tion of historic preservation guidelines has occurred on this project by the complete dismantling of the historic residence – also eradicating the value of building reuse in terms of sustainable or green construction practices. Perhaps the contractor should have his license suspended for any new projects until Varsity House is completed in observance of Historic Preservation guidelines and LEED certification requirements.

Big 12, its QBs stronger than ever Nebraska players making the tunnel walk on red carpet. Red balloons climbing to the clouds after the Cornhuskers’ first score.

The visiting team receiving a standing ovation after the game’s final play.

No Big 12 game-day experience matches that of the one in Lincoln, Neb., where there is more red on shirts and coats, gloves and hats, than there is on the purses swung by the professionals who make their livings in the streets and hotel lobbies of Las Vegas.

Ralphie the Buffalo in Boulder and the march of the Corps of Cadets into Kyle Field also are missed, as is a Kansas-Missouri rivalry that features two sides of a border that think so differently they can’t even agree on the all-time record of the series.

Sadly, conference realignment stole some flavor from Big 12 football, but this much is indisputable: It also made it a stronger football league.

Half the schools, including both new members, that compete in the 10-member conference are ranked among the top 17 in the country: 7. Kansas State, 8.

West Virginia, 11. Texas, 15.

TCU, 17. Oklahoma. Three others received votes: Texas Tech (39), Baylor (31) and Iowa State (3).

Other than Kansas, Oklahoma State is the lone Big 12 school that didn’t receive a vote in the Associated Press poll, and the Cowboys (2-2) are ranked 18th in the Sagarin power rankings and received three votes in the USA Today coaches poll.

Thanks to West Virginia, the Big 12 hasn’t lost its identity as college football’s home for high-octane offenses and record-breaking quarterbacks.

First-year Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis was asked on the weekly Big 12 coaches conference call for his early impressions of the league’s offenses.

“Well, it’s a tad bit scary to tell you the truth because of the volume of points that are scored,” Weis said.

“Every week you look at the scoreboard and say, ‘My gosh.’ You just look at the numbers. And then statistically you go look at the verification, the type of numbers the quarterbacks are throwing up.”

Numbers such as the ones Baylor quarterback Nick Florence compiled Saturday when he threw for 581 yards and five touchdowns and lost to West Virginia, 70-63.

Mountaineers quarterback Geno Smith established himself as the Heisman Trophy favorite by completing 45 of 51 passes for 656 yards and a Big 12 record eight touchdowns. He has thrown 20 touchdown passes without throwing an interception.

“What Geno Smith did the other day, when you look at those numbers, you say, ‘How could that possibly happen? How could a guy be sitting there with those type of numbers at the end of the game against a very good competitor? ’ I mean, it’s kind of scary,” Weis reiterated.

LAWRENCE HIGH SENIOR ATTIE PENNYBAKER TEES OFF during the Free State Invitational on Monday at Lawrence Country Club. The Lions finished sixth in the 15-team tournament. FSHS was 12th.

Not all of Lawrence High’s girls golfers left Lawrence Country Club Monday satisfied with their scores at the Free State Invitational, but the Lions finished sixth at the 15-team tournament.

Even superb days from all of its top four golfers wouldn’t have allowed LHS to crack the top three — champion Olathe Northwest, runner-up Shawnee Mission East and third-place St. Thomas Aquinas all had team scores between 333 and 336. Still, Lawrence senior Quillen Eichhorn was kicking herself for shooting a 92 and not helping her team post something lower than 376.

A member at LCC, Eichhorn plays the course anywhere from 10 to 20 times a month and considers herself too frequent a customer on the fairways and greens at the club to shoot in the 90s.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Weis playing up first rivalry game, Snyder’s 21st

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Snyder

Weis

In the 21 years that Bill Snyder has paced the sideline as the head coach at Kansas State, he has stared across the field at four different Kansas University head coaches during the annual Sunflower Showdown.

None of those KU coaches had much success against Snyder, the 72-year-old coach who once was known as the architect of one of the greatest turnarounds in college football and now is simply known as one of the greatest coaches in college football.

Glen Mason went 3-5 against Snyder. Terry Allen was 0-5. Mark Mangino finished 1-4 — and benefited from the Ron Price era when Snyder stepped away for three seasons — and Turner Gill finished 0-2, with the Wildcats hanging 59 points on the Jayhawks in back-toback seasons.

Snyder will face his fifth KU coach this Saturday, in Manhattan, when Charlie Weis brings his 1-3 Jayhawks to town for an 11 a.m. kickoff against unbeaten and seventh-ranked K-State at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Although the names of the opposing coaches have

changed, Snyder’s approach to the showdown has not.

Each year, Snyder has made sure the meeting with the Jayhawks was viewed as one of the Wildcats’ biggest games, and his dominant 16-4 record against Kansas illustrates that his emphasis has been worthwhile. However, the beauty of his approach, Snyder said, is that, most years, it’s unnecessary.

“I don’t think you have to find ways to motivate young guys because I think it means an awful lot to them,” he said during Monday’s Big 12 coaches teleconference.

“We have a lot of young guys from the state of Kan-

sas in the program so it carries some extra meaning for them. And their teammates appreciate that a great deal, so I think there is a built-in motivation.”

The Wildcats are a team Weis has talked plenty about since taking the job at KU last December. His focus, however, has not centered around this specific matchup but rather Snyder’s sustained excellence and how it relates to the program Weis believes KU could and should have.

“The University of Kansas was 2-10 (in 2011),” Weis said Please see FOOTBALL, page 3B

Chiefs: Cassel’s still our quarterback ... for now “

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Romeo Crennel stepped to the podium in the auditorium beneath Arrowhead Stadium after another embarrassing loss and announced that Matt Cassel will remain the Chiefs’ starting quarterback.

The fact that the Kansas City coach made the stark declaration without anybody asking the question spoke volumes about Cassel’s performance the first four weeks of the season.

The embattled quarterback has thrown a leagueleading seven interceptions, including three first-half picks in Sunday’s 37-20 loss to San Diego. He has also fumbled the ball away three times, and was bailed out of another apparent fumble by the officiating crew.

Cassel was showered with boos throughout the first Ed Zurga/AP Photo half Sunday, but was greeted KANSAS CITY CHIEFS QUARTERBACK by something much worse MATT CASSEL (7) FUMBLES as he is hit by by the time the fourth quarSan Diego Chargers outside linebacker ter rolled around: silence.

Shaun Phillips (95) during the first half The vast majority of the on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium in crowd had already headed Please see BIG 12, page 3B Kansas City, Mo. for the parking lots.

Even after he had those turnovers, he came back and drove the team down the field, so we think he’s capable.

We just have to get him to be more consistent.”

— Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel

“Even after he had those turnovers, he came back and drove the team down the field, so we think he’s capable,” Crennel said Monday.

“We just have to get him to be more consistent.”

Crennel balked when asked whether he considered putting in backup Brady Quinn, but it slowly became clear that the coach of the Chiefs (13) has become less enamored of his starter heading into next Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.

“At some point, you go through and see what’s happening in a game, how guys are reacting, and how he’s responding in a game,” Cren-

nel said. “If you feel he’s inept, constantly making bad decisions, poor choices, that’s when you move on from him and give someone else a chance.”

Cassel already has had plenty of chances.

Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli has stood behind what he believes to be his franchise quarterback ever since acquiring Cassel from the New England Patriots for Mike Vrabel and a secondround draft choice, and signing him to a $63 million deal that included $28 million guaranteed.

It was Pioli, then with New England, who drafted Cassel in the seventh round in 2005.

The problem is that with the exception of a banner 2010 season, when he led the Chiefs to an improbable AFC West title, Cassel has mostly played like a seventh-round draft pick.

He is 19-24 as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback, completing just over 57 percent Please see CHIEFS, page 5B

Chicago brings big ‘D’ to Dallas ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — Those 30-something defenders for the Chicago Bears showed Tony Romo how much they can still play.

Lance Briggs and Charles Tillman, two of the five defensive starters for Chicago in their 30s, returned interceptions for touchdowns, and the Bears beat the Dallas Cowboys 34-18 on Monday night.

Though Romo was only sacked once, on the Cowboys’ opening series, he was pressured relentlessly and threw five interceptions. That matched his career high, set five years ago in his first full season as a starter.

Briggs’ interception came in a wild two-play exchange of turnovers midway through the third quarter.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was nearly flawless after halftime, when he completed 11 of 12 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns. That included a 34-yard score to Devin Hester to start the half and a 31-yarder to Brandon Marshall with 6 1/2 minutes left.

Cutler was 18 of 24 overall for 275 yards.

Thomas: Jewelry no NCAA violation WESTWEGO, LA. (AP) — Former Duke and current New Orleans Hornets player Lance Thomas said Monday he does not think he violated NCAA rules when he purchased nearly $100,000 in diamond jewelry during his college career.

Thomas also indicated a willingness to speak with the NCAA about the purchase, which spawned a lawsuit by a New York jeweler and an inquiry by Duke and the NCAA of whether Thomas violated rules pertaining to improper benefits for college athletes. “I’m still working on that, but I’ll eventually speak to them,�

Thomas said.

Thomas has settled the lawsuit which claimed he owed nearly $68,000 to Rafaello & Co. for a purchase made during Duke’s 2009-10 national championship season. However, he said some legal details still must be worked out, after which he expects to be more willing to meet with the NCAA and comment publicly in more detail about the matter. “I do feel bad that was something that was just lingering around the university,� Thomas said. “But everything’s going to get taken care of the right way and I hope the coaching staff and the whole university knows that those were the best four years of my life.� “Everything will come out,� he added. “But it will come out on the better end, hopefully.�

The lawsuit, filed in January in Austin, Texas, said Thomas owed $67,800 for five pieces of jewelry he purchased at a cost of $97,800. The invoice, dated Dec. 21, 2009, indicates that Thomas made a $30,000 down payment and agreed to pay the balance in 15 days.

Thomas started 39 games at forward for Duke in 2009-2010, his senior season, including the 61-59 victory over Butler in the NCAA championship game.

The NCAA has declined to comment on the settlement and what it might mean in terms of investigating the matter.

NCAA rules require studentathletes and personnel at member schools to cooperate with the organization’s inquiries, but there’s nothing to compel people who aren’t affiliated with those schools to do so.

Thomas wasn’t drafted by an NBA team when he left Duke.

Thomas was playing last season for the Austin Toros of the NBA Developmental League when the suit was filed. He was later called up to New Orleans, for whom he appeared in 42 games.

SUMMARY

CHICAGO BEARS DEFENSIVE TACKLE HENRY MELTON (69) moves in to sack Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo (9) during the first half on Monday in Arlington, Texas. The Bears beat the Cowboys, 34-18.

Major Wright, who returned an interception for a touchdown in Chicago’s last game, had two of the five interceptions. D.J. Moore has nine career interceptions, three of them against Romo after getting another one Monday night.

Chicago’s first fumble of the season came when Cutler was sacked by DeMarcus Ware and Victor Butler recovered at the Bears 27.

On the very next play, Romo was trying to escape pressure when he was hit from behind by Henry Melton. The ball popped forward into the air and Briggs grabbed it and rumbled for his first interception return for a score since 2005 to put the Bears (3-1) ahead 24-7.

Once again, the Cowboys (22) are a .500 team. They are also one of the lowest-scoring team in the NFL with only 65 points.

Colts coach Pagano diagnosed with leukemia INDIANAPOLIS — It took Chuck Pagano less than nine months to instill his fighter’s mentality and hopeful spirit in the Indianapolis Colts.

He will need both to survive the biggest battle of his life — leukemia.

In a somber news conference Monday, the Colts announced that their new coach had been hospitalized for cancer treatment and probably would not return to full coaching duties this season. He will be replaced on an interim basis by offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. “He will do fine,� Arians said, his voice cracking as he recalled his own fight with prostate cancer in 2007. “I know him.

He’s a fighter. He’s survived Pagano tough times already in his life.

As a cancer survivor myself, I know that these first few days are really hard on you but as he and I talked yesterday, it’s just a matter of time.�

The news trickled out publicly just as players and assistant coaches were returning to the team complex after the Colts’ bye week and one day before Pagano’s 52nd birthday.

He was admitted to an Indianapolis hospital last Wednesday to begin treatments for acute promyelocytic leukemia, an illness in which the bone marrow produces abnormal white blood cells that interfere with healthy blood cells.

Symptoms can include weakness, weight loss and easy bruising or bleeding.

Pagano’s physician, Dr. Larry Cripe, said the coach will be treated with chemotherapy and drugs — a process that usually requires patients to spend four to five weeks in the hospital. Irsay said he expected Pagano to stay a bit longer, six to eight weeks. Indy (1-2) hosts the Packers (2-2) on Sunday.

PRO HOCKEY

NHL labor talks resume today NHL labor talks will resume this morning, with both sides still focusing on secondary matters and not the core economic issues that continue to divide owners and players in a league-imposed lockout entering its third week.

The NHL confirmed on Monday that talks were set to resume in New York.

Negotiators for the league and NHL Players’ Association are expected to pick up where they left off after Sunday, when they completed three straight days of discussions. The talks focused on secondary issues, such as what should define hockey-related revenue, as well as player health and safety.

Though both sides have made progress during the latest series of discussions, they’ve failed to make much of a dent in determining how to split up more than $3 billion in league revenues between owners and players.

No further talks are currently scheduled.

The NHL locked out the players after the collective bargaining agreement expired on Sept.

15, and has since canceled its entire preseason schedule. The next step is expected to come this week, when the NHL is anticipated to announce the postponement of the start of the regular season, which was scheduled to open on Oct. 11.

Bulls extend coach Thibodeau CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls have given coach Tom Thibodeau a four-year contract extension through the 2016-17 season.

General manager Gar Forman announced the move Monday. The Bulls had exercised the team’s option for next season this past spring.

The new deal takes effect after this season.

Thibodeau was the NBA’s Coach of the Year for the 2010-11 season and the runner-up last season.

The Bulls head into the season with star point guard Derrick Rose out until at least January as he recovers from left knee surgery.

KANSAS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Seven-footer Embiid to visit for Late Night

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Joel Embiid, a 7-foot, 220-pound senior center from Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., will attend the Oct. 12 Late Night in the Phog as part of an official basketball recruiting visit to Kansas University.

Embiid, who is originally from Cameroon, has a list of KU, Florida, Louisville, UCLA, Marquette, Texas, DePaul, Wake Forest and Virginia.

“I’m looking forward to the visit and I am very interested in Kansas,” Embiid told Rivals.com. “I’d also like to visit Florida and Virginia, but the only visit that I have set is my visit to Kansas.”

The 17-year-old Embiid

Her personal course best is an 83, and Eichhorn came in saying to herself: “I can par every hole out here; I can birdie eight holes.”

Ultimately, she worked herself into a rut. The same thing happened to her a few days earlier, when she played LCC this past weekend.

“I think I put way too much pressure on myself,” the Lions’ No. 1 golfer said after tying for 24th.

Junior Abigail Schmidtberger, Lawrence’s No. 3 player, finished with the team’s best score, 91. As she has done for weeks now, she played with a wrap on her left hand, because she is allergic to her glove. Schmidtberger said her hand feels a little weird during a full swing, but it isn’t bothersome at all when putting and she has gotten used to it. She dealt with it pretty easily at the invitational, where she finished tied for 18th.

“I was pretty happy with my score, just because this is a hard course and I don’t really play it a lot,” Schmidtberger said.

She was one of four LHS players to shoot in the 90s. Senior Attie Pennybaker finished with a 94 and the Lions’ No. 5 golfer, junior Campbell Drake, broke 100 for the first time with a 99.

Said LHS coach Kristen Samp: “We’re getting a little bit better each time, so that’s a positive.”

Both Eichhorn and Schmidtberger credited Samp, who serves as the director of instruction at LCC, for getting the Lions ready for the course. Samp said they tried to play at the

seven of the top 16 in the nation are from Big 12 quarterbacks.

Even Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, in his second tour of genius duty, doesn’t have an answer for slowing down the offenses.

“I think you kidnap the quarterback,” Snyder said. “That’s the only thing I can think of right now.”

Texas coach Mack Brown has the nation’s second-rated QB, David Ash, and plays host Saturday to West Virginia and first-rated Geno Smith. Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz is charged with devising a game plan to slow Smith.

“I’ve been down there three times,” Brown said of Diaz. “He’s got his door closed and he’s under the desk. It’s been hard to communicate with him.”

Starting with Texas running back Ricky Williams in 1997 and continuing with reigning

“He has to get a little more flexible and add strength, but he is a highlevel rebounder, alters shots, has good hands and does a good job of establishing and holding position,” said Eric Bossi of Rivals. com. “The Embiid form on his jump shot is good, and he’s already developed a strong spin move that he’s comfortable using to go right or left.”

Embiid said he is looking for “academics, a good coach and good people around who can help me

club as much as they could before the FSHS tourney.

“The main thing I did was made sure they knew how to play 16 — it’s kind of a funky hole — and we did a lot of putting, because the greens are fast,” Samp said. “Other than that, it’s pretty straightforward. What you see is what you get.”

It wasn’t an LHS golfer who finished with the best score among city players, however. Free State sophomore Emily Bermel’s 84 tied her for ninth at the tournament. Upon learning of the accomplishment, Bermel said it was awesome to hear, but she doesn’t pay attention to those kind of things.

“It’s not just about the Lawrence High scores, but everyone’s scores,” Bermel said.

The Firebirds’ No. 1 golfer fired a 42 on both the front and back of the par-70 course. Her coach, Craig Hershiser, said he can always count on Bermel to play steadily, and she does so by playing sound off the tee box and controlling distances with her irons.

FSHS sophomore Karen Campbell shot a 108, and Free State finished 12th with a team score of 441.

Part of the Firebirds’ problem, Hershiser said, was some self-induced pressure at their home tournament.

“I think there’s a little of that every year, and there’s no reason for that, but it happens,” Hershiser said.

The lesson to take away from the disappointment, he added, was that Free State has to approach every tournament the same way, regardless of the venue.

Both Lawrence and Free State play Wednesday at the Olathe East Invitational.

get better. I’d like a coach that knows my game and how to get me better.”

Roberson switches visit date: No. 29-ranked Tyler Roberson, a 6-8 senior forward from Roselle (N.J.) Catholic, has decided to switch the date of his KU visit from Oct. 12 to Oct. 19, Rivals.com reports.

He has a list of KU, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Rutgers, Seton Hall, South Carolina, SMU, Syracuse and Villanova. He visited SMU last weekend.

Other uncommitted senior prospects expected for Late Night: No. 23-rated Wayne Selden, 6-5 combo guard, Tilton (N.H.) School; No. 5-rated Aaron Gordon, 6-8 forward, Archbishop Mitty High, San Jose, Calif. and No. 43 Karviar Shepherd,

tando.net. Wright averaged 16.8 points and 7.9 rebounds per game last season for the Austin Toros of the NBA Developmental League.

Update on Roy: Former KU coach Roy Williams tells ESPN.com he will have a biopsy on a tumor on his left kidney this week. A tumor removed from his right kidney recently was deemed noncancerous.

“Then we’ll make some decisions after that as to what will be done next,” North Carolina coach Williams told ESPN. “The original plan was two surgeries, so I’ve mentally prepared myself to do that. If anything comes out better than that, I’ll feel like I birdied the last hole, and I keep playing.”

If the tumor does need to be removed, Williams would miss some practice time, but likely no games, ESPN reported.

“It’s pretty emotional at times, but I got such great care at the hospital, and the outpouring from the North Carolina people, and the other people in the coaching profession, my friends, my foxhole buddies, have just been off the charts,” Williams said.

On a lighter note ...

“Wanda (Williams’ wife) has figured out with these 10 days, counting the surgery, that she might not be willing for me to retire so soon. Ten days to spend with me, she said maybe I ought to coach another 20 years. So there’s been some good things here, too,” Williams joked.

first time since the 2005 season.

The Jayhawks came in at No. 24 in the latest coaches poll, released on Monday afternoon. KU received the ranking after defeating No. 19 Iowa State last week. Kansas (14-2 overall, 2-0 Big 12) also debuted at No. 9 in the RPI, its highest mark in program history.

“I’m amazed at how many people have asked me (since beating ISU), ‘Do you think we’ll be ranked?’” coach Ray Bechard said. “To me, it doesn’t change our process, our preparation or how we’ll go about handling our business. From a fan perspective, I can see where there’s some fun in that. From a program perspective, it’s great. You

The Big 12 has three other teams ranked in the top 25: No. 9 Texas, No. 14 Kansas State and No. 22 Iowa State.

Freshman outside hitter Tiana Dockery, who had a career-high 15 digs with 14 kills against the Cyclones, was also named Big 12 Conference Rookie of the Week on Monday.

The Jayhawks travel to Morgantown, W.Va., on Wednesday for their firstever meeting with new Big 12 member West Virginia.

Asked about the incident on Monday, Weis first pointed out that Agostinho’s misstep was shortlived — “He didn’t tweet it out for long” — and then explained his general policy on social media.

“We don’t tell players what to say and we profess that they use common sense,” Weis said. “For any player to get on Twitter and say something disrespectful to another team doesn’t make any sense.

Sometimes young men make mistakes about what to say and what not to say and you just have to use that as a teaching moment to let them know that is not what we are looking for.”

tance was a popular topic on Weis’ weekly Hawk Talk radio show Monday night. And he emphasized his stance.

“They’ve done a better job than us of magnifying the importance of this game,” he said of KSU. “And, whether we win or lose, I promise you it won’t be because the game wasn’t magnified in KU-OSU kickoff set The Kansas football its importance.” team’s Oct. 13 home game Twitter trouble against Oklahoma State Last week, KU defensive will kick off at 2:30 p.m. lineman Keba Agostinho, and will be televised on however innocently, fired FSN, the Big 12 announced the first shot of bulletin- Monday morning. board material in this It will mark the secweek’s Sunflower Show- ond game KU has played down when he posted on on FSN this year, as the his Twitter page that KU Jayhawks’ Sept. 8 game led the series with KSU, against Rice also was on 65-39-5, and even made the network.

Eliminated Chisox shut out Indians The Associated Press

White Sox 11, Indians 0 CLEVELAND — White Sox rookie Hector Santiago allowed one hit in seven shutout innings to beat Cleveland on Monday, but Chicago was eliminated from postseason contention when Detroit defeated Kansas City.

Santiago (4-1), who began the season as the team’s closer, struck out a season-high 10.

The second-place White Sox won for the third time in 13 games. They collapsed down the stretch after leading the AL Central for 63 straight days.

The White Sox scored four runs in the sixth off Corey Kluber (2-5) and added six in the ninth.

Dayan Viciedo hit his first grand slam to make it 11-0.

Yankees 10, Red Sox 2 NEW YORK — Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Russell Martin and Mark Teixeira homered in a nine-run second inning, and New York routed Boston to open a onegame lead over Baltimore in the AL East with two games to play.

Baltimore lost at Tampa Bay and dropped into second place, prompting cheers from the Yankee Stadium crowd when the final score was posted before the ninth inning. The Yankees, who clinched their 17th playoff berth in 18 years on Sunday, would ensure their 13th division title in 17 years by sweeping the threegame series against the Red Sox. New York tied its record for home runs in an inning, achieving the feat for the third time. The offense backed CC Sabathia (15-6), who allowed two runs and four hits in eight innings with seven strikeouts.

Alex Rodriguez hit a sacrifice fly to end a streak of 11 games without an RBI. He tied Stan Musial for fifth place on the career list at 1,950.

The Red Sox, starting what may be their final series under first-year manager Bobby Valentine, have lost six in a row and 10 of 11, reaching 91 defeats for the first time since dropping 100 games in 1965.

The Rays won for the 11th time in 12 games, a stretch that’s kept them in contention for the second AL wild card. They began the night trailing Oakland by three games and must sweep the Orioles and hope the A’s drop three straight to Texas.

DETROIT TIGERS’ MIGUEL CABRERA (24) ROUNDS THE BASES after hitting a solo home run during the sixth inning against the Kansas City Royals on Monday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Tigers clinch with win at K.C. KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Miguel Cabrera had four hits, including a homer during a five-run sixth inning, and the Detroit Tigers held off the Kansas City Royals 6-3 Monday night to clinch the AL Central title.

Gerald Laird added a bases-loaded double, Rick Porcello (10-12) pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning and Jhonny Peralta went deep off Bruce Chen (11-14) to help Detroit reach the postseason in consecutive years for the first time since 1934-35.

After hanging over the dugout railing the entire ninth inning, the Tigers streamed onto the field and behind the pitchers’ mound to celebrate their accomplishment the moment Jose Valverde got Alcides Escobar to ground out to shortstop with a runner on second for his 35th save in 40 chances.

The Tigers (87-73) will have the worst record among AL division champions, which means they’ll open the playoffs Saturday at home against the division winner with the second-best mark.

The shoddy fielding that could have forced the Tigers to sit home in October has improved to the point that they’ll be pressing on into the postseason.

That fielding was never more evident than in the fifth inning Monday night, when the Royals had loaded the bases. Escobar hit a hard grounder just to the side of second base, and

of his passes for an average of just over 200 yards per game — pedestrian numbers by just about anyone’s standards. He’s been particularly bad the past two seasons, throwing a pick every 27 attempts.

Cassel’s season to date was encapsulated by Sunday’s game against San Diego.

His third pass attempt was badly underthrown, allowing Chargers Eric Weddle to undercut the rout for an interception.

That gave the Chargers excellent field position and resulted in a field goal that made it 10-0.

His other two interceptions came on consecutive possessions later in the half.

The first was thrown so far behind Tony Moeaki that all the tight end could do was try to get his hands on it. The ball wound up deflecting into the arms of San Diego linebacker Donald Butler, who returned the interception untouched 21 yards for a touchdown and a 27-6 lead.

The other interception should have been caught

by Dexter McCluster, but the short crossing route was thrown with so much

COPS & COURTS REPORTER Did you grow up watching “Law & Order”? Are you fascinated with crime and court cases? Are you energized as journalist reporting breaking news? If so, you may be the person we’re looking for.

The Lawrence Journal-World is hiring a reporter to cover the crime and court beat, which is essential to our publications. This role requires a talented, curious and motivated reporter who produces a mix of strong dailies, lively enterprise stories and compelling narratives, and someone who can mine court filings and other public records for unexpected stories and use high-profile cases for 1A stories.

This reporter will keep a close eye on police and prosecutors, finding front-page stories in breaking news coverage while looking for emerging trends, systemic problems and human interest stories.

We are seeking a well-rounded reporter with a history of success in digital and print media and the ability to cover the spectrum of public safety topics. Ideal candidates know how to keep an ear to the scanner and jump on breaking news while also juggling daily stories and long-term enterprise projects; must have a bachelor’s degree in journalism or a related degree; demonstrated writing and reporting experience; ability to use a broad set of tools to tell stories and engage the audience; an understanding of police protocol and court procedures; the ability to build strong connections throughout the law enforcement and court system; one year of shooting and editing video preferred; proficient in MS Office; and the ability to drive, with valid driver’s license and safe driving record.

We offer a competitive salary with an excellent benefits package including health, dental and vision insurance, 401k, paid time off, tuition reimbursement and more!

Background check, pre-employment drug screen and physical lift assessment required. To apply, submit a cover letter, resume and link to your portfolio to hrapplications@ljworld.com

Dear Annie: I am an 88-year-old father with three grown daughters.

I have a substantial amount listed in my will, which originally was to be equally divided.

A year ago, my youngest daughter and I had a falling out. I said something that irritated her, and she said I am not allowed to bring up that subject again. I replied, “Don’t tell me what I can talk about. If you don’t like what I say, don’t call,” and I hung up. She took that literally, and even though I made numerous attempts to reinstate myself into her life, I was rebuffed.

I recently had major surgery. My daughter neither called nor visited. But her husband sent several emails blaming me for the estrangement, saying I should have apologized and what he really thought of me.

When my daughter

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

made no attempt to end this hostility after six months, I had my attorney remove her as an heir to my estate. I have since learned that my son-in-law is quite upset about this. I think he’s been very instrumental in influencing my daughter’s behavior.

Wills can always be changed, and if my daughter behaves better, I’m happy to reinstate her. But right now, I’m still angry and hurt by her intolerable treatment.

Even if this gets resolved, I doubt I will ever feel

Reality series stuck at departure gate Call me old-fashioned, but I’m used to thinking that people tune into the Travel Channel for armchair vacations to exotic places. I’m also of the opinion that most people consider airports to be necessary evils — a grim purgatory to endure on the way to somewhere else, preferably nicer. The idea that drama or entertainment might be found in a show called “Airport 24/7: Miami” (8 p.m.) never entered my mind.

As the title implies, this new reality series focuses on the people who make the airport run smoothly and safely for the millions who use it. Running a facility as large as a small city is no picnic, and it’s made more difficult by the fact that Miami International is considered a Category X airport, a potential target for terrorist attack.

In the first half-hour, airport security intercepts firearms in a carry-on bag passed through the X-ray machine. An agent finds a knife hidden in the sole of a passenger’s sneaker. Security agents show off a trophy case with odd seized items, ranging in absurdity and audacity from a rotary saw to what looks like medieval weaponry.

Maybe this “Miami” is a new kind of armchair travel. After watching this, you may be much less eager to fly again.

Tonight’s other highlights

the same toward either of them, and time is running out. — S.W. in California Dear S.W.: Somehow, this altercation has developed into an argument about money. We agree that your daughter and her husband are behaving terribly. However, your age doesn’t absolve you of everything.

A good first step toward reconciliation is to apologize for hanging up on her instead of thinking she should treat it as if “nothing happened.” We hope she will accept this and allow the relationship to mend. We suggest asking one of her sisters to act as an intermediary. If she refuses to budge, however, there is nothing more you can do.

Dear Annie: My entire family attended my cousin’s wedding in another state. One of my children flew in with his wife and two kids, and the others drove a long

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Oct. 2: This year you express an unusual amount of serenity and caring. You will do whatever you need to do in order to keep the peace. If you are single, a friendship could play a strong role in your romantic life.

If you are attached, your partnerships take a higher priority than in the past, particularly those involved with financial matters.

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) Conversation revitalizes you. A partner might be too intimidated to be as proactive as you are.

Tonight: Roll with the moment.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You gain new perspectives quickly and see a situation in a different vein, as a result. You demonstrate unusual flexibility. Tonight: Go for what you want.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Be more visual in your thinking. A conversation with a respected friend helps you grasp more possibilities. Tonight: Not to be found.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Listen to a partner’s or loved one’s suggestion. This person tends to put an interesting spin on situations Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Leo (July 23- Aug. 22) Others look to you to take the lead. You naturally enjoy yourself with even the most intense or negative people in your life. Tonight: A must appearance.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out for new information and different ways of seeing a situation. If you can come

jacquelinebigar.com

up with several different approaches, it could turn out far better than you’d originally thought possible.

Tonight: Be willing to dream.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Deal with a change in a partner directly. This person has become unusually verbose or relaxed.

Tonight: Dinner with a favorite person.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others might be unusually difficult and touchy, but your persistence wins the day. Try not to challenge someone or get into a power play. Tonight: All smiles.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Stay level. Understand what has to be accomplished. You might find it difficult to home in on what is happening, as you are deep in thought. Tonight: Stop what you’re doing and take a break.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity and determination prove to be unfamiliar benefits. Be willing to walk away from your comfort zone and look past restrictions. Tonight: Don’t forget to call a loved one at a distance.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you have a hankering to stay home, do. If you work, consider working from home if possible. Tonight: The homeward-bound theme continues.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You tend to find the right words at the right time; meanwhile, others seem to be grasping when it comes to their own self-expression. Touch base with a neighbor or relative. Tonight: Find a pal to hang with.

distance to attend. The wedding was quite elegant, and we had a nice time. We each sent lovely gifts that we spent a great deal of time selecting.
