Lawrence is filled with former Kansas University students.

After graduation, some leave and come back.

Others decide to stay in Lawrence.

For some KU men’s basketball players, it’s no different.

“I always knew, no matter what direction I went after I got done playing, I knew that’s the place I loved to live and retire in,” said former guard Jeff Hawkins, who now coaches high school basketball for PerryLecompton. “Living in Lawrence, in general — the people are friendly and nice. It was a nobrainer for me.”

Hawkins is joined by many others who played in front of fans in Allen Fieldhouse.

Bud Stallworth, the Kansas shooting guard who dropped 50 points against Missouri in 1972, lives in town and has a local sports radio show. Former All-American Wayne Simien is a campus minister at KU. Scot Pollard, former center, has an apartment downtown. Chris Piper, a guard on the 1988 championship team, operates Grandstand Sportswear.

Roger Morningstar, the first generation of the Jayhawk Morningstars (his son, Brady, also played at KU), operates Morningstar’s New York Style Pizza in town.

The list goes on and on.

Rock Chalk is set to get quite a bit louder in northwest Lawrence.

Architects have filed the most detailed plans yet with Lawrence City Hall for a proposed sports complex that would house multiple facilities for Kansas University and the city of Lawrence.

Planners also have submitted a name for the complex that could grow to more than 100 acres in size: Rock Chalk Park.

“It really is going to function more like a park than an institutionalized set of buildings,” said Law- Schumm rence Mayor Bob Schumm. “I think there will be a level of amazement throughout the region when they see it in full operation.

It will be unbelievable for our prestige when it comes to our amateur sports offerings.”

Ryan, Biden face off

Economist calls for flat tax, less spending

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

Arthur Laffer laid out his prescription for an economic turnaround during a talk at Kansas University on Thursday, using his doctrine of supply-side economics: less government spending and a flat tax.

The former economic adviser to Ronald Reagan criticized the federal stimulus spending that has taken place over the past five years, saying it served only to hold the economy back.

ECONOMIST ARTHUR LAFFER, known as the “father of supply-side economics,” speaks Thursday at KU’s Woodruff Auditorium.

“The reason we have a great recession is not in spite of stimulus spending,” Laffer said. “It is because of stimulus spending.”

Park CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Cheryl Anne Harmon (Brooks), 57, of Lawrence, KS, passed away Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012, peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family.

Cheryl was born March 11, 1955, in Dayton, OH. She was a long time resident of Independence before moving to Lawrence in 2001. She was employed

by Kemira in Lawrence, KS for 11 years.

Cheryl’s loving nature, sense of humor and faith touched everyone she met and are a legacy and inspiration to those she leaves behind. Cheryl considered herself a caregiver and a fighter for justice for all. She genuinely loved to help people and loved being there for her family and friends. She called her grandchildren her “hobby.”

She was preceded in death by her mother, Joanne Gregory; brother, Mikie Brooks; sisters, Joy Cayton, Tamara Bennett and Kelly Ward.

Survivors include her daughter, Tina Addington, Lawrence, KS; son, Steven Dorrell, Independence; brother, Kevin (Crissy) Gregory, St. Simon Island, GA; granddaughters, Kiki Addington and Riley Nikodym, Lawrence, KS and Britani, Kirstyn and Trinity Dorrell, Independence; great-grandson, Damien Hernandez, Independence; and many extended family and friends.

Join us in a Celebration of Life Service Sunday, October 14, 4pm at Chapel Oaks-Lawrence Funeral Chapel, 3821 W. 6th St., Lawrence, KS. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in memory of Cheryl may be made to Susan G. Komen for the Cure and left in care of the funeral home.

dio show. Hawkins and former point guard Aaron Miles, who frequents Lawrence, gathered last spring at Simien’s house to watch the national championship game.

“We shed a lot of blood, sweat and tears on that court,” Hawkins said.

“When you can be around those guys that you went to war with, it’s always good to be close to them.

It’s good to know that old heads like Bud are still around. They still choose to be around Lawrence, Kansas. That just lets you know how great the community has been to players in general.”

fieldhouse, and several KU athletic venues including a track-and-field stadium, soccer field and softball stadium.

But the new plans also show how expansive the project — slated for vacant property north of the northeast corner of Sixth and the South Lawrence Trafficway — could become. Plans call for eight lighted tennis courts to be built adjacent to the city’s recreation center, with room for a dozen more in future years.

The plans also now show a 4,000-seat amphitheater that would be near the city’s recreation center and nestled along the banks of Baldwin Creek, which runs through the property.

“I would hope you could have some plays and some musicals out there,” Schumm said. “With the arts in this town, I think there would be a lot of opportunities. I think it could be a fun place to be out on a summer evening.”

The area along the creek and adjacent property that the city already owns is being planned to have five to six miles of trails that could be used for everything from nature walks to cross country courses, Schumm said.

But the plans also show an area — the southeast point of the property most visible from the South Lawrence Trafficway — housing a small arena of 5,000 seats or less. The plans label the arena as future development, and both architects and KU officials said there are no immediate plans for when the arena may be built or what it would house.

“We’re really just trying to show how we can leave some appropriate areas that could add fu-

move the mice, they go back to the cheese.”

Laffer advised Gov. Sam Brownback on tax policy during the last legislative session, which included the passage of massive tax cuts.

Though he criticized President Barack Obama on health care and economic policy, he made it clear his allegiances did not necessarily follow party lines.

He praised Bill Clinton for his support of free-trade legislation and welfare reform, saying he voted for him in 1992 and 1996. And he said George W. Bush was in a tie for his least favorite president of all time — with Obama.

“I can’t tell the difference between the two of them, to be honest with you,” Laffer said.

He also praised Al Gore for his proposal to tax carbon emissions while reducing other taxes to make up for the additional revenue, saying it could provide insurance against possible climate change while not harming the economy. He added, though, that he did not have a position on wheth-

er global warming is real.

Laffer’s speech was sponsored by the KU School of Business, 1st Global and the Fred and Mary Koch Foundation. But KU Business Dean Neeli Bendapudi, speaking at the beginning of the program, said the person who led the effort to bring Laffer to Lawrence was KU business school alumnus Tony Batman, the CEO of 1st Global, a financial company based in Dallas.

In an introduction, Batman called Laffer the “father of supply-side economics,” a philosophy that he credited for a period of economic prosperity between 1982 and 2007.

After the talk, Batman said he sought to bring Laffer in as a speaker because he thought his ideas were beneficial for people to hear. He also said he wanted to give back to the business school.

“This school changed my life,” Batman said.

During a question-andanswer session following the speech, one attendee accused Laffer of favoring the rich and neglecting the poor with the poli-

ball,” said Pollard, who played at KU from 1993 to 1997 before joining the NBA for a career that spanned 11 years.

Lawrence’s focus on basketball hasn’t changed much since Pollard’s arrival on campus. And the former players have found their own community with the community of Lawrence — some work together; others play together.

Pollard and Stallworth work together on the ra-

Laffer told an audience of business students and other people at the Kansas Union, numbering roughly 200, that he believed stimulus spending did indeed spark economic activity among the people who receive money, but the money must come from somewhere, and that spending will result in corresponding economic decline.

He recommended a flat federal tax of 11.8 percent on all personal income and value added by businesses, saying it would match current revenues while doing more to encourage economic growth.

He said he had compassion for the poor and deplored the income disparity in the United States, but he said redistribution of income served only to give fewer people an incentive to work.

“Economics is all about incentives,” Laffer said.

“If you move the cheese, you move the mice. If you

ture uses that would be of interest to KU or other users,” said John Wilkins, an architect with Lawrencebased Gould Evans, which is designing the project in conjunction with Lawrence-based Paul Werner Architects.

KU officials said they are pleased with the plans they have seen thus far.

“We’re very excited about the possibilities this site presents,” said Jim Marchiony, a KU associate athletic director. “We think the addition of the recreation center adds to the attraction of it. The athletes will be excited about playing in such a comprehensive sports venue. We think the site will draw many events to the city of Lawrence.”

Here’s a look at other details from the plans filed at Lawrence City Hall:

The city’s recreation center/youth fieldhouse is still planned to be about 181,000 square feet. The building — which will include a multitude of gyms, a fitness center and more indoor recreation space — is slated for the far north end of the site, near Baldwin Creek.

KU facilities proposed to be built as part of the first phase of the project include: a track and field stadium with 7,500 permanent seats and 2,500 temporary seats; a soccer field with 2,500 seats; and a softball field with 1,000 seats.

Plans show 1,400 paved parking spots as part of the complex, with other open areas that could accommodate overflow parking.

The KU portion of the project would include more than just outdoor sports fields. The plans also include all the necessary locker rooms, press boxes, concession areas and other amenities. In addition, the plans call for a 15,000-square-foot, twostory “training facility” to be built on site. cies he favored. But Laffer said his proposed flat tax would close tax loopholes that rich people are especially able to exploit.

The tax cuts approved

by Brownback following Laffer’s advice have been criticized by some who say they give wealthier Kansans a tax break while depriving important government services of funding.

Legislative researchers say the cuts will create revenue shortfalls approaching $2.5 billion. Brownback has said the cuts will spark growth in the economy.

As he walked out of the event, KU sophomore Tanner Treiber said he agreed with Laffer’s economic philosophy, though he was skeptical that it would ever be fully implemented by the federal government.

“We need a guy like this in the White House to take charge,” Treiber said.

Following the speech, Laffer attended a reception with business students and others in attendance.

Two new roads are planned as part of the development. A new road would run west from where George Williams Way currently dead ends.

It is tentatively planned to be named Rock Chalk Drive. George Williams Way also would be extended north to lead into the large parking lot for the complex. A new road to serve the interior of the complex also would be built. It is scheduled to be named Rock Chalk Parkway.

Thus far, all the improvements are slated for 89.8 acres that are directly north and west of where George Williams Way currently dead ends. But the property that is slated to be purchased by Kansas University Endowment also includes 19.7 acres that are farther north and west. Plans currently show that property remaining vacant but being available for expansion in the future.

Schumm said city and KU officials continue to work on agreements related to the financial aspects of the partnership.

The city previously has identified $1.2 million a year in sales tax money that it currently receives that it could use for the next 20 years to pay for the recreation center. It has also looked at issuing additional city debt to pay for needed infrastructure improvements in the area.

All the financial agreements, plus several land use issues, will have to come to the City Commission for formal approval. Many of those issues could be up for approval before the end of the year.

“I think by spring, you could see some construction activity out there,” Schumm said.

Hensley, Moore display different approaches to school funding —————

Kan. Senate opponents debate issue at candidate forum

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — State Sen. Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, and his Republican opponent Casey Moore clashed in their approach to school funding during a candidate forum Thursday.

The two face off in the Nov. 6 general election for the 19th State Senate District seat, which includes much of western Douglas County and east Topeka.

Moore, a political newcomer also of Topeka,

asked the crowd at Topeka High School how much was spent on schools.

Someone in the crowd shouted, “Not enough.”

But Moore said Kansas spends $12,000 per student per year.

“My question is where is all the money,” he said.

He said schools needed more accountability and transparency.

Hensley said Moore’s figures included funds that the state allocates for teacher pensions and capital expenses.

Base state aid per stu-

dent last year was $3,780, which is only slightly ahead of $3,600 per student from 20 years ago and behind the $5,400 per student level if the amount had tracked with inflation, Hensley said.

“We are not adequately funding our schools,” Hensley said.

Haskell addresses sexual violence

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Advocates, students and treatment providers converged on the Haskell Indian Nations University Campus on Wednesday and Thursday to address sexual violence in Native American communities and campuses. The event, “Sharing our Stories, Celebrating our Future,” is part of a new initiative launched by the Bureau of Indian Affairs aimed at preventing and reducing sexual abuse and domestic violence.

It’s a much needed step, said Haskell spokesman Stephen Prue.

“There is a vacuum that needs to be filled,” Prue said about a lack of current research and data into the scope of sexual violence in Native American communities.

Presentations during the two-day event touched on a variety of topics, such as domestic violence, self defense and sexual abuse.

Several community agencies, such as GaDuGi and the Kansas Coalition against Sexual and Domestic Violence, participated.

Recently released federal statistics show official reports of sexual violence at Haskell are rare — the school reported just one such incident in 2011.

But those numbers mask the many unreported crimes of violence against women, Prue said.

Prue said the event is the start of a development of new policies and strategies to combat sexual and domestic violence on Native American campuses across the country.

Chalk talk: Drawing at stadium Brown warns against drinking, driving

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

By Matt Erickson merickson@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman Alex Stanley has a message for anyone who passes by the north side of Memorial Stadium before or after the KU football game Saturday.

It’s a familiar slogan from the Kansas Department of Transportation: “You drink. You drive. You lose.” But the medium is different: sidewalk chalk.

Stanley, a student in the School of the Arts majoring in art education, volunteered for a KDOT promotion designed to remind football fans on Saturday to be responsible. Thursday afternoon, she was much of the way through her design, which uses pictures to illustrate the slogan’s concepts: a mug filled with frothy beer for “drink,” a sleek sports car for “drive” and a giant thumbs-down

proved with only Republican votes in the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Sam Brownback.

Brownback signed into law tax cuts that exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes, and drop the top individual income tax rate from 6.45 percent to 4.9 percent.

Legislative researchers say the cuts will produce revenue shortfalls approaching $2.5 billion.

Brownback says the cuts will grow the economy.

Hensley said the cuts will result in cuts to schools.

“It comes down to simple arithmetic,” he said. “The Kansas Legislature has selfimposed a budget crisis of unbelievable proportion.”

KANSAS UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN ALEX STANLEY works on a sidewalk chalk drawing with a message against drinking and driving Thursday outside of Memorial Stadium. signal for “lose.”

And the “you’s”? For two of them, Stanley filled in the letters with wideopen eyeballs to signify that “all eyes are on you” when you drink and drive; that is, you’ll get caught.

“I’m hoping this message can inspire my art and get it across that people need to be safe and

smart,” Stanley said.

Stanley started the project Wednesday and planned to finish by 11 a.m. today. She said it was her first-ever public art project, and it was a blast to make.

“I love that it has a message,” Stanley said.

Moore said the key to funding schools and other state services was to grow the economy.

“The issue is jobs,” Moore said. He said that without economic growth, young people will leave the state after they graduate.

Moore said a new perspective was needed to represent the district.

Among other candidates at the forum was Jack Wu, a Republican from Topeka, who is running for the State Board of Education, District 4, against Democratic incumbent Carolyn Campbell, also from Topeka.

The district includes much of Lawrence.

Wu is a self-described follower of Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, which is known for protesting homosexuality and picketing the funerals of military members.

In his opening comments, Wu quoted the

Bible and said Campbell was “doomed” because she supported the teaching of evolution.

In response to Miller’s statement, Brown said that in the 2012 legislative session, after a bill that Holland was pushing to create a safety corridor failed, “I was able to communicate our community’s desire to have safety cables built to the budget director and

AFP sends blizzard of mail touting GOP

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The Kochfounded Americans for Prosperity played a major role in changing the direction of the Kansas Senate by helping oust eight moderate Republicans in the August primary.

Now, AFP is going after Democrats in the Nov. 6 general election.

Campaign postcards from the AFP that are aimed at defeating Democrats in state legislative races have started arriving in mailboxes across northeast Kansas.

The mailers are identical except interchanging the names and photos of Republican candidates, and praising those candidates as ones who will fight spending, cut taxes, and “stop Obamacare.”

Because AFP is considered an issue advocacy group, it does not have to disclose how much it spends or who donates to it. The organization was founded by billionaires Charles and David Koch, who run Kansas-based Koch Industries and who finance numerous conservative political groups.

State Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, whose Republican opponent Casey Moore is praised in the one of the mailers, said Thursday that AFP was “up to their old tricks again.”

AFP dumped an unknown amount of money in the August Republican Party primary. In addition, Gov. Sam Brownback and the Kansas Chamber of Commerce were key in defeating moderates.

“They (AFP) are back-

ing candidates who support Gov. Brownback’s agenda to make further cuts to public education and social services, all so that AFP and similar groups can benefit from the irresponsible Brownback income tax cuts,” Hensley said.

Brownback signed into law tax cuts that exempt the owners of 191,000 partnerships, sole proprietorships and other businesses from income taxes, and drop the top individual income tax rate from 6.45 percent to 4.9 percent.

Legislative researchers say the cuts will produce revenue shortfalls approaching $2.5 billion.

Brownback says the cuts will grow the economy.

Hensley also said that AFP’s claim that Republican state legislative candidates will stop Obamacare

Drought clouds crop outlook

By Jim Suhr Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — The nation’s worst drought in decades showed no signs of improvement last week in parts of the Midwest and Plains where the corn harvest is about two-thirds complete, clouding the prospects for the winter wheat crop, according to a drought report released Thursday.

The U.S. Drought Monitor’s weekly update, showing that nearly two-thirds of the lower 48 states remained mired in some form of drought, was released the same day the federal government lowered for the fourth month in a row its projection for the size of this year’s corn crop.

The USDA now estimates that farmers will harvest 10.71 billion bushels of corn, down from last month’s estimate of

10.73 billion bushels. The average yield is about 122 bushels per acre, off from July’s projection of 122.8 bushels.

The dry conditions remained unchanged in Iowa, the nation’s biggest corn producer, with three-fourths of the state still in the extreme or exceptional drought — the two worst classifications.

Nearly all of Nebraska still fell under those two categories, according to the report, which covered the seven-day period ending Tuesday.

The USDA said 69 percent of the nation’s corn crop has been brought in from the fields as of Monday, more than double the average rate of the previous five years. Iowa farmers have harvested about three-quarters of their crops while 80 percent of that grain has been brought in in neighboring Illinois. The Missouri corn

harvest is nearly done.

Some 58 percent of the soybean crops have been harvested, 18 percent faster than the pace during the previous half decade.

Dry conditions continue to intensify in Kansas, where extreme drought now covers the entire south-central portion of the state, according to Thursday’s update released by the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln.

Those parched environs are stalling growth of winter wheat. The 65 percent of that crop planted in Kansas as of last Sunday was slightly above the average pace, though a below-average 25 percent of that emerged. Less than onethird of Nebraska’s winter wheat fields have germinated, 12 days behind the norm.

is untrue since that is a federal law. A spokesman for the Kansas chapter of AFP couldn’t be immediately reached for comment, but AFP has defended its use of Obamacare as an issue in state legislative races.

The Lawrence JournalWorld obtained copies of AFP mailers that tout state Rep. Anthony Brown, REudora, who faces state Sen. Tom Holland, DBaldwin City, in the 3rd Senate District race; Dick Barta, the Republican challenger to state Sen. Laura Kelly, D-Topeka, in the 18th Senate District; and the Hensley-Moore matchup in the 19th Senate District. Hensley said similar mailers are being found in other districts as well.

— Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Patrol switching to e-citation system Beginning next week, the Kansas Highway Patrol will phase in a new electronic citation system, starting in the northwest part of Kansas and eventually spreading to all regions in the state.

Drivers will still receive a hard-copy printout, but officers input the citation information electronically, and print out a copy for drivers.

The new method will ease the flow of information for record-keeping and communicating with the court system, said KHP spokesman Lt. Joshua Kellerman.

“It’s just going to streamline our process,” Kellerman said.

The move will not affect the fine amounts for violations, but cited drivers will be able to pay fines online.

Other portions of Kansas will begin utilizing the e-citations in the next few months.

The change will eventually affect citations written by state troopers, motor carrier inspectors and Capitol Police officers.

VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN, LEFT, and Republican vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin spar during the vice presidential debate at Centre College, Thursday in Danville, Ky.

V.P. debate feisty, unlike Obama-Romney

By Ben Feller Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Fierce and focused, Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan gave voters the kind of substantive showdown that was everything the presidential debate was not. Abandoning his boss’ caution, Biden uncorked a combative repair job.

“Not a single thing he said is accurate,” Biden shot back when Ryan leveled a charge that President Barack Obama was projecting U.S. weakness.

So it went from Biden all night, from taxes to Iran, where he suggested Republicans wanted a war. He looked directly at the camera to implore seniors like him not to trust Ryan on his Medicare plan: “Folks, follow your instincts on this one.”

By going all in, Biden aggressively tried to score on two critical fronts: relating Obama’s message in more heartfelt terms and blistering Ryan on multiple fronts so that the Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, would lose his recent surge.

Yet Biden also opened himself to interpretation, coming across to some as strong and to others as cocky and condescending. In the splitscreen view, Biden was often rolling his eyes and smiling or laughing, as if Ryan’s response were beyond belief.

The youthful-looking Republican clearly held his own on the grand stage, more at ease on his familiar domestic turf and a little more rehearsed on foreign policy. Staying calm where Biden was incredulous, Ryan still poked.

“I know you’re under a lot of duress to make up for lost ground,” Ryan chided his opponent at one point, “but I think people would be better served if we don’t keep interrupting each other.”

That was a reference to Obama’s listless showing in last week’s debate, which gave a lift to Romney’s campaign and set the context for this sole vice presidential debate.

Ryan essentially played the role that Obama had tried, making his case without getting too tangled up with his partner.

History shows debates between the running mates have little influence on voters, but this one stood out because it now drives the narrative for

at least five days, when Romney and Obama take the stage again.

The debate also signals for voters what’s ahead, particularly from Obama, who will try to make up for his bad day with his own aggression.

Sharply run by ABC News moderator Martha Raddatz, the debate gave people what they wanted to see. Even with all the practice by both candidates, there was spirit and spontaneity. And legitimate differences on matters of life and death.

ANALYSIS Biden set the tone by taking a question on the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya and turning into a defense of Obama’s entire national security agenda. He reminded viewers that Obama was willing to chase the Sept. 11 terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden to the end of the earth while quoting Romney as saying he wouldn’t have done the same.

And it was up to Biden to take the shot Obama did not.

In one of those most memorable moments of the night, he brought up that Romney was videotaped saying that 47 percent of the American people see themselves as government-needy victims.

“These people are my mom and dad,” Biden said.

Ryan did more than repeat the line from Romney that he actually cares about 100 percent of Americans. He turned Biden on Biden by telling the gaffe-prone vice

president: “I think the vice president very well knows that sometimes the words don’t come out of your mouth the right way.”

Obama had failed at his central mission of drawing distinctions with Romney in a crisp way that connected with people. The merits of competing tax plans or health care visions do not matter much if a debater meanders into the policy weeds or, even worse, fails to deliver a passionate fight.

The president ended up doing both.

His aides look back at the first debate and see missed opportunities.

Biden went the other direction, seizing any chance to jump on a Ryan inconsistency.

The danger for the aggressor is that both campaign knows the remaining undecided voters at home want answers for them, not partisan bickering.

Nationally, Romney got a clear national bump from his debate performance.

But in the election-deciding battleground states that matter, most polls suggest the first presidential debate has not had a significant impact. Obama still holds an edge in Ohio, considered by both sides to be the keystone to the whole election.

Just as the ObamaRomney debate in Denver a week ago influenced what happened Thursday at Centre College in Danville, Ky., now the cycle spins ahead.

Romney and Obama will meet in New York on Tuesday in the midst of an election that is remarkably tight and, more than ever, a fight.

TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas’ former labor secretary tangled with Gov. Sam Brownback’s top computersystems administrator over a personnel issue just weeks before abruptly leaving the administration, internal emails show.

Since Labor Secretary Karin Brownlee’s departure last month, she and Brownback’s office haven’t publicly discussed details of events leading to her exit.

The emails obtained by The Associated Press this week through an open records request are the first evidence

to come to light afterward that Brownlee was at odds with another high-ranking administration official. The emails don’t indicate whether the clash had anything to do with her departure.

The emails show Brownlee attempted to change the duties of a state Department of Labor employee, only to be rebuked by Anthony Schlinsog, the governor’s chief information technology officer. Schlinsog told Brownlee in an email that she didn’t have the authority to act alone because the employee reported to his office.

Schlinsog reports directly to the governor. Brownback gave Schlinsog’s office oversight in November 2011 of all information technology staff in agencies under the governor’s control, outside of state universities, describing the move as a way to promote efficiency and lower costs.

Brownlee declined comment Thursday. Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag also wouldn’t comment, saying the matter remains a personnel issue. The governor’s office wouldn’t make Schlinsog available for an interview.

Social media among threats to greeting card industry

By Heather Hollingsworth Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Say it’s your birthday or you’ve just had a baby, maybe got engaged or bought your first house. If you’re like many Americans, your friends are texting their congratulations, sending you an e-card or clicking “Like” on your Facebook wall.

But how many will send a paper greeting card?

“I’m really, really bad at it,” said Melissa Uhl. The 25-year-old nanny from Kansas City, Mo., hears from friends largely through Facebook. “Maybe,” she said, “an e-card from my mom.”

Once a staple of birthdays and holidays, paper greeting cards are fewer and farther between — now seen as something special, instead of something that’s required.

The cultural shift is a worrisome challenge for the nation’s top card maker, Hallmark Cards Inc., which last week announced it will close a Kansas plant that made one-third of its greeting cards. In consolidating its Kansas operations, Kansas City-based Hallmark plans to shed 300 jobs.

The plant in Topeka will close, and operations will be shuffled between plants in Lawrence and Leavenworth. Production of ribbons, bows and stickers will move from Lawrence to Leavenworth, and the Lawrence facility ultimately will become the only Hallmark plant in the U.S. that produces the firm’s signature greeting cards.

Pete Burney, Hallmark’s senior vice president who overseas production, says “competition in our industry is indeed formidable” and that “consumers do have more ways to connect digitally and online and through social media.”

ACCORDING TO A U.S. POSTAL SERVICE STUDY, correspondence such as greeting cards fell 24 percent between 2002 and 2010. Greeting card giant Hallmark Inc. last week announced it would close its plant in Topeka and cut 300 jobs in response to changes in the industry.

Billion-card drop Over the past decade, the number of greeting cards sold in the U.S. has dropped from 6 billion to 5 billion annually,

by Hallmark’s estimates.

The Greeting Card Association, an industry trade group based in White Plains, N.Y., puts the overall-sold figure at 7 billion.

Even the paper cards people buy have changed.

Many people now use online photo sites to upload images and write their own greetings. High-end paper stores are attracting customers who design their own cards, sometimes using graphics software once available only to professionals.

“What Hallmark started with met the needs of the consumers in that early 20th century period to mass produce these personal greeting cards with art and poems and the only way you could communicate was by mail essentially,” said Pam Danziger, who analyzes the industry as president of Stevens, Pa.-based Unity Marketing. “It’s no surprise that in the 21st century with so many other communication vehicles available that the old idea

of a greeting card being sent by mail just doesn’t work anymore.”

According to a U.S. Postal Service study, correspondence such as greeting cards fell 24 percent between 2002 and 2010. Invitations alone dropped nearly 25 percent just between 2008 and 2010. The survey attributed the decline to “changing demographics and new technologies.”

Digital upgrades While Hallmark says it’s committed to the paper greeting card, it has made changes over the years.

It has an iPhone app, for example, that lets people buy and mail cards from their phones. It also partnered with online card service Shutterfly to share designs that consumers can use to build specialized cards online.

Its chief rival, Cleveland, Ohio-based American Greetings, actually went from trimming costs and jobs amid the recession to announcing in August that it’s adding 125 workers to an Osceola, Ark., plant. It’s part of an expansion that will allow customers to design their own cards — online, of course.

Miss Manners invites etiquette review KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — In an age when people can choose among text messages, email, Facebook and old-fashioned stamps and printed cards, the chance to use the wrong method when sending your very best is quite high.

What to do?

Well, AP went straight to an expert among experts: Judith Martin, author of the syndicated Miss Manners column, who offers guidance on dealing with the evolving etiquette of expressing sincere sentiments in an increasingly impersonal, digital world.

Her general advice is that formal events and intimate expressions require a handwritten note. But for more casual events and occasions, she gives people permission to send an email or text message greeting or even post to Facebook. Just keep it tasteful, OK? “The most formal situations still require something written,” she said.

“The least formal are easily taken care of with texting or email, which is terrific. The idea that it has to be all one or all the other and that one method is totally out of date and the other one takes over until the next thing comes along just impoverishes the ways that we can use these different things.”

Some of Martin’s tips: Getting married? Get ready to write.

“People do still have very formal weddings in which case the invitations and the communication and the expressions of gratitude ought to be in keeping with that style.”

Never email the words, ‘Sorry your mom died.’

“You don’t just dash off some casual thing on email.

You sit down and write a real letter. Cards are a strange thing because they are in between. I’ve always been puzzled about why people spend hours selecting a card with a preprinted sentiment instead of just

Romeo didn’t email love letters to Juliet.

You shouldn’t either.

“I can’t imagine that you can print out your electronic love letters and tie a pink ribbon around them and press them to your heart.

And yet I’ve been asked, ‘Is it OK to propose marriage by texting?’ That would not exactly touch my heart if I were the object of that proposal.”

Disinvite the e-vite.

“If someone wants to see me, it seems to me that they can do it personally.

If it’s an informal party, send me an email. But I don’t want to be part of a group that everyone can scrutinize who has been invited. What did this person say and what did this person say? I don’t want to participate in a public group discussion about the party. Generally these people don’t entertain in such large groups, except for weddings where they do send paper invitations, that they can’t contact the individuals.”

Don’t send an e-card to Miss Manners.

“A lot of them annoy people because they take a long time to download and for those who are sentimental about cards, they can’t keep them in the same way. Are you touched, amused, charmed if you get an ecard and you are trying to work and you download it and it has probably loud music that your co-workers are turning around to see what it is? It is an inconvenience and not very charming.”

Turkey: Syrian plane was carrying ammunition

By Frank Jordans and Suzan Fraser Associated Press

ANKARA, TURKEY — A plane intercepted by Turkish fighter jets on its way from Moscow to Damascus was carrying equipment and ammunition destined for the Syrian Defense Ministry, Turkey’s prime minister said Thursday.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s comments follow a fierce denial by Syria that anything illegal had been aboard the Airbus A320 that was forced by Turkey to land in Ankara late Wednesday. Syria, whose relations with neighboring Turkey have plummeted over the Syrian war, branded it an act of piracy.

Earlier in the day, Turkish officials had rejected claims

by Syria’s ally, Russia, that Turkey had endangered the lives of Russian citizens on board the aircraft.

“These were equipment and ammunitions that were being sent from a Russian agency ... to the Syrian Defense Ministry,” Erdogan told reporters in Ankara.

“Their examination is continuing and the necessary (action) will follow,” he added.

Yeni Safak, a newspaper close to the Turkish government, reported Thursday there were 10 containers aboard the plane, whose contents included radio receivers, antennas and equipment “thought to be missile parts.”

Turkish state-run television TRT also reported the plane was carrying military communications

equipment. Neither TRT nor the newspaper cited sources for their claims.

A Western diplomat in Ankara told The Associated Press that Turkish authorities had found “military equipment” on board the plane, but did not elaborate. The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about sensitive issues.

The plane was allowed to continue to Damascus after several hours, without the cargo.

“As you know, defense industry equipment or weapons, ammunitions and such equipment cannot be carried on passenger planes,” Erdogan said.

“It is against international rules for such things to pass through our air space.”

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Shares of Sprint Nextel climbed more than 16 percent in premarket trading on a report that the company is in advanced talks to be acquired by Japanese cellphone company Softbank Corp. in a transaction valued at more than $12.8 billion.

The Wall Street Journal, citing an unnamed person with knowledge of the talks, said Thursday that the potential deal would help Softbank Corp. expand outside of Japan.

A Softbank representative says the story is “based on speculation” and added, “We do not comment on speculation.”

Fewer layoffs no longer suggest strong hiring

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Declining applications for unemployment benefits have typically pointed to stronger hiring.

Not so much anymore.

Since the U.S. recession officially ended in June 2009, fewer layoffs have meant fewer people seeking unemployment aid. On Thursday, for example, the government said first-time applications for benefits hit a four-and-a-half-year low.

Yet job growth remains sluggish. That was evident last week in the government’s jobs report for September. A survey of employers showed that they added a modest 114,000 jobs last month.

And the unemployment rate, based on a separate survey of households, did sink in August to 7.8 percent from 8.1 percent.

If fewer people are being laid off, why aren’t employers hiring more?

Blame the slow pace of the U.S. economy, damage from Europe’s economic crisis and fear that tax increases and spending cuts could trigger another U.S. recession next year.

Many companies have said they lack confidence that the U.S. economy will strengthen enough in coming months to justify hiring now.

“The relationship between claims and jobs has been less strong during this recovery than in past post-war recoveries,” said Drew Matus, an economist at UBS. “There’s a hiring problem out there, as opposed to a layoff problem.”

Even last week’s sharp drop in people seeking unemployment benefits came with a cautionary note.

Applications fell 30,000 to 339,000, the fewest since February 2008.

And the four-week average, a less volatile gauge, reached a six-month low.

But economists noted that much of last week’s drop was due to seasonal volatility in the data.

A Labor Department spokesman said one large state accounted for much of the drop in applications for unemployment aid. The spokesman didn’t identify the state, but several economists speculated that it was California.

The long-term trend in applications for unemployment benefits has been steadily down, though it has leveled off since spring.

When the economic recovery officially began in June 2009, an average of roughly 600,000 people were filing firsttime claims for benefits each week. For nearly a year, that figure has remained consistently below 400,000.

Embassy employee killed in Yemen SANAA, YEMEN — A Yemeni security investigator at the U.S. Embassy here was shot and killed Thursday by masked men on a motorcycle in the latest assassination by militants of political and security targets in cities across the country.

Yemen officials said the ambush bore the tracings of al-Qaida, which in recent months has intensified its activities in the Yemeni capital after coming under increasing pressure by U.S. drone strikes and offensives by security forces against its redoubts in the nation’s south.

The slaying follows last month’s storming of the embassy by a mob outraged by an anti-Islam video produced in California that denigrated the Prophet Muhammad. The video ignited a wave of anti-American protests across the Muslim world and provided the chaos in Benghazi, Libya, that preceded a deadly militant attack on the U.S. mission there.

Chinese writer wins Nobel literature prize

By Alexa Olesen Associated Press

BEIJING — Novelist Mo Yan, this year’s Nobel Prize winner for literature, is practiced in the art of challenging the status quo without offending those who uphold it.

Mo, whose popular, sprawling, bawdy tales bring to life rural China, is the first Chinese winner of the literature prize who is not a critic of the authoritarian government. And Thursday’s announcement by the Swedish A c a d e m y Mo brought an explosion of pride across Chinese social media.

The state-run national broadcaster, China Central Television, reported the news moments later, and the official writers’ association, of which Mo is a vice chairman, lauded the choice. But it also ignited renewed criticisms of Mo from other writers as too willing to serve or too timid to confront a government that heavily censors artists and authors, and punishes those who refuse to obey.

The reactions highlight the unusual position Mo holds in Chinese literature.

He is a genuinely popular writer who is embraced by the Communist establishment but who also dares, within careful limits, to tackle controversial issues like forced abortion. His novel “The Garlic Ballads,” which depicts a peasant uprising and official corruption, was banned.

“He’s one of those people who’s a bit of a sharp point for the Chinese officials, yet manages to keep his head above water,” said his longtime U.S. transla-

tor, Howard Goldblatt of the University of Notre Dame. “That’s a fine line to walk, as you can imagine.”

Typical of his ability to skirt the censors’ limitations, Mo had retreated from Beijing in recent days to the rural eastern village of Gaomi where he was raised and which is the backdrop for much of his work. He greeted the prize with characteristic low-key indifference.

“Whether getting it or not, I don’t care,” the 57-year-old Mo said in a telephone interview with CCTV from Gaomi. He said he goes to his childhood hometown every year around this time to read, write and visit his elderly father.

“I’ll continue on the path I’ve been taking, feet on the ground, describing people’s lives, describing people’s emotions, writing from the standpoint of the ordinary people,” said Mo, whose real name is Guan Moye and whose pen name “Mo Yan” means “don’t speak.” He chose the name while writing his first novel to remind himself to hold his tongue and stay out of trouble.

The state media hoopla and government cheer contrasted with the last Nobel prizes given to Chinese. Beijing disowned China-born French emigre dramatist, novelist and government critic Gao Xingjian when in 2000 he became the only other Chinese writer to win the literary prize.

After imprisoned democracy campaigner Liu Xiaobo was awarded the Peace Prize two years ago, the government heaped scorn on the award as a tool of the West and put diplomatic and economic relations with Norway, which awards the prize, into a chill.

DOGO NDIAYE STROKES RAM PAPIS GENERAL as competitors await the judges’ final decisions Oct. 6 in the Fann area regional final of the “Khar Bii” competition, in Dakar, Senegal. In a nation where sheep are given names and kept inside homes as companion animals, the most popular show on television is “Khar Bii,” or literally, “This Sheep” in the local Wolof language. It’s an American Idol-style nationwide search for Senegal’s most perfect specimen ahead of the Eid al-Adha festival, known locally as Tabaski.

Senegal reality TV show features prettiest sheep

By Krista Larson Associated Press

DAKAR, SENEGAL — The street level of Ousmane Ndiaye’s building features a fabric shop. He and his family live in a posh apartment on the second floor. Their upstairs neighbors? His beloved ram Billal and 10 other sheep.

Here his animals prance on a sunny outdoor terrace well above the commotion of buses and vendors below, and only rarely use the building’s winding staircase.

Billal is fed the family’s dinner leftovers, and Ndiaye jokes that his wife is jealous of his sheep. The family even foregoes potential rental income by leaving the upper level of their building unfinished.

“I could rent this place out for 250,000 francs ($500) a month, but I prefer to keep Billal and my sheep here,” says Ndiaye, 60, sporting a royal

blue robe as he strokes the head of the sheep he hopes will become a reality television star.

In a nation where sheep are given names and kept inside homes as companion animals, the most popular television show is “Khar Bii,” or literally, “This Sheep,” in the local Wolof language.

It’s an American Idolstyle nationwide search for Senegal’s most perfect specimen. Now in its fourth season, the show airs several times a week in the months leading up to Eid al-Adha, or Tabaski, as it’s known here.

The feast of sacrifice is when Muslims around the world slaughter animals in remembrance of Abraham’s near-sacrifice of his son.

In Senegal, the sheep’s ties to the important religious holiday have made them a part of many urban families in this predominantly Muslim country of 12.8 million

people. Still, every family that can sacrifices a ram at Tabaski, when an estimated 712,000 sheep will be purchased for slaughter. Some 240,000 of those are in the Dakar region alone, where supermarkets are already offering scratch tickets for a chance to win a free Tabaski sheep.

“The Senegalese are really into their sheep,” says Fadilou Keita, 28, who lives with six of them by night at his Dakar home.

The financial analyst carries his iPad in one hand and sticks his other in the mouth of Aziz to drag him toward the weigh-in scale.

“This is my passion.”

The finalists from each region of the country now face off later this month for a chance to win $4,000 and the extra prestige to their future breeding credentials, said veterinarian Dr. Mamadou Ba, a consultant for one of the program’s sponsors.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’ll cost another penny to mail a letter next year.

The cash-strapped U.S. Postal Service said Thursday that it will raise postage rates on Jan. 27, including a 1-cent increase in the cost of first-class mail to 46 cents.

It also will introduce a new global “forever” stamp, allowing customers to mail first-class letters anywhere in the world for one set price of $1.10. Currently, the prices vary depending on the international destination, with letters to Canada and Mexico costing 85 cents.

Under the law, the post office cannot raise stamp prices more than the rate of inflation, or 2.6 percent, unless it gets special permission. The post office, which expects to lose a record $15 billion this year, has asked Congress to give it new authority to raise prices by 5 cents, but lawmakers have failed to act.

The mail agency also will increase rates on its shipping services, such as priority mail, by an average of 4 percent.

The post office, which is struggling with debt and low cash flow, said the rate hikes were partly aimed at bringing in new revenue while maintaining its pricing advantage in the shipping business.

Violent street gang: U.S. targets finances of MS-13

By Alicia A. Caldwell Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration declared the ultra-violent street gang MS-13 to be an international criminal group on Thursday, an unprecedented crackdown targeting the finances of the sprawling U.S. and Central American gang infamous for hacking and stabbing victims with machetes.

The Treasury Department formally designated MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, a transnational criminal organization. The aim

is to freeze it out of the U.S. financial system and seize what are estimated to be millions of dollars in criminal profits from drug and human smuggling and other crimes committed in this country.

The gang was founded by immigrants fleeing El Salvador’s civil war more than two decades ago.

Its founders took lessons learned from that brutal conflict to the streets of Los Angeles and built a reputation as one of the most ruthless and sophisticated street gangs, according to Immigration and Customs

Enforcement Special Agent Jason Shatarsky.

With as many as 10,000 members in 46 states, the gang has expanded far beyond its initial roots.

Members are accused of major crimes including murder, kidnapping, prostitution, drug smuggling and human trafficking.

The group established itself in Los Angeles before spreading across the U.S., said Shatarsky, an MS-13 expert assigned to ICE’s national gang unit. The group’s violence — using a machete to hack a victim to death or shooting someone

in the head in broad daylight, for instance — surprised authorities and even rival gangs.

“They saw a level of violence that hadn’t been seen before,” Shatarsky said, adding that as the gang has expanded it has also become more sophisticated than many rivals.

The gang, which is allied with several of Mexico’s warring drug cartels, has a strong presence in Southern California, Washington and Northern Virginia, all areas with substantial Salvadoran populations.

LUIS AQUINO, 11, HOLDS A PRESENTATION BOARD as Hildreth “Hal” Walker Jr., a retired laser scientist, teaches his students Wednesday at an after-school center in Inglewood, Calif. When the space shuttle Endeavour makes its road trip to its retirement home through working-class communities in Los Angeles County, Walker wants to use the shuttle’s two-day terrestrial crawl to highlight the role that minorities played in the shuttle program.

Endeavour remained parked at the Los Angeles International Airport since Sept. 21 after crowdpleasing swoops over the state Capitol, Golden Gate Bridge, Hollywood sign and other landmarks.

Beginning today, the shuttle heads off on its last mission — a 12-mile creep through city streets. It will move past an eclectic mix of strip malls, mom-andpop shops, tidy lawns and faded apartment buildings.

Its final destination: California Science Center in South Los Angeles where it will be put on display.

Seizing on a teaching moment, some schools along the route have folded the historic move into their lessons, hoping to stimulate interest in science, technology, engineering and math — fields where blacks and Latinos have been underrepresented.

At the Wish Charter Elementary School near LAX, kindergartners to sixth

graders spent the days leading up to Endeavour’s terrestrial journey learning about the shuttle’s different components — nose cone, heat tiles, fuselage.

Today, students planned to walk across the street to a parking lot where Endeavour will temporarily rest after leaving LAX. Armed with American flags and index cards depicting the shuttle, students planned a “scavenger hunt” — identifying the various shuttle parts and marking them off on their cards.

“It’s thrilling to have this pop up right here in our neighborhood,” said principal Shawna Draxton.

Because of Endeavour’s enormous wingspan, rolling street and sidewalk closures will be in effect as crews dismantle power lines and traffic lights.

Some 400 trees were cleared to make space and streets were fortified with steel plates to accommodate the 170,000-pound

load.

Despite the high security and limited viewing, Saturday’s public celebrations at the Forum — where the Los Angeles Lakers once played — and a performance led by actress-dancer Debbie Allen near the end of the route were choreographed with the young generation in mind.

The Inglewood High School band will lead a procession to the Forum and students at Crenshaw High School will preside at Allen’s show.

Crenshaw High used to have an academic track for students interested in science and math careers and there have been recent talks to bring it back.

Principal L. Remon Corley, who took over the helm two months ago, hopes the shuttle experience will ignite the necessary spark.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to see the power of science and math in action. It’s an experience they won’t forget,” he said.

CDC: Meningitis outbreak growing

By Lauran Neergaard and Mike Stobbe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Federal health officials have tracked down 12,000 of the roughly 14,000 people who may have received contaminated steroid shots in the nation’s growing meningitis outbreak, warning Thursday that patients will need to keep watch for symptoms of the deadly infection for months.

“We know that we are not out of the woods yet,” Dr. J. Todd Weber of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said as the death toll reached 14.

Of the 170 people sickened in the outbreak, all but one have a rare fungal form of meningitis after receiving suspect steroid shots for back pain, the CDC said. The other case is an ankle infection discovered in Michigan; steroid shots also can be given to treat aching knees, shoulders or other joints.

Fungus has been found in at least 50 vials of an injectable steroid medication made at a specialty

2007 execution style shooting deaths of three friends in a schoolyard in Newark, N.J. One victim was slashed with a machete before being shot. Six people have been charged in the case.

By labeling MS-13 an international criminal organization subject to sanctions by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the government hopes to stymie the gang’s ability to funnel money back to its leaders in El Salvador or launder criminal proceeds through otherwise legitimate businesses.

Shuttle crossing provides teaching moment LOS ANGELES — When the space shuttle Endeavour weaves through working-class communities on its way to its retirement home, Hildreth “Hal” Walker Jr. wants the children he tutors to remember a few names: Ronald McNair. Mae Jemison.

Charles Bolden.

A retired laser scientist who had a role in the Apollo 11 mission, Walker took the opportunity with the upcoming two-day terrestrial crawl through predominantly African-American and Latino neighborhoods in Los Angeles County to highlight the role that minorities played in the shuttle program.

“We really have a job to do to show them the accomplishments of the people whose shoulders they’re standing on,” Walker said.

Soon after Endeavour’s aerial tour around California landmarks, Walker, who runs an after-school tutoring center in the suburb of Inglewood, gave a lecture at the public library where he ticked off the prominent figures in the program.

McNair was the second African-American in space and died in the Challenger tragedy. Jemison rode aboard Endeavour as the first African-American female astronaut. Bolden is the current NASA chief and the first black to hold the position.

target residents and business owners for extortion, among other crimes. The gang is also active throughout Central America and in parts of Mexico. Authorities in Europe have reported evidence of MS-13 expanding operations there.

Among the most highprofile killings attributed to MS-13 in Virginia was the 2003 slaying of a pregnant teenager who had become an informant. Brenda Paz, 17, was stabbed to death and her body was left along the banks of the Shenandoah River. Gang members have also been linked to the

LABORATORY TECHNICIAN RUTH RUTLEDGE packages cerebrospinal fluid of the three confirmed meningitis cases in Minnesota on Tuesday to send to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta for further testing. The fluid was packed at the Minnesota Department of Health in St. Paul, Minn. compounding pharmacy in Massachusetts, investigators said. Health authorities haven’t yet said how they think the medication was contaminated, but they have ruled out other suspects — other products used in administering the shots — and the focus continues to be on that pharmacy, the New England Compounding Center.

Compounding phar-

macies traditionally supply products that aren’t commercially available, unlike the steroid at issue in the outbreak. And Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health said it appears the company violated state law governing those pharmacies, which aren’t supposed to do largescale production like a drug manufacturer. In-

stead, they’re supposed to produce medication for patient-specific prescriptions, she said.

“This organization chose to apparently violate the licensing requirements under which they were allowed to operate,” she told reporters Thursday.

Company officials weren’t immediately available to comment Thursday but earlier this week declined comment except to say they were cooperating with the investigation.

Idaho becomes the 11th state to report at least one illness. The others are Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia.

Last month, after illnesses began coming to light, the company recalled three lots of the steroid medicine — known as preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate— that were made in May, June and August. The recall involved about 17,700 single-dose vials of the steroid sent to clinics in 23 states.

NEW YORK — The Craigslist ad offered black-market Percocet pills for sale but warned potential customers: “No LE please.”

Meaning: No law enforcement.

Like that made a difference.

The 40-year-old man accused of placing the ad was among 21 people arrested in an attempt by the New York Police Department to make an example out of some of the smallest of small-time drug dealers: students, young professionals and others who clean out the medicine cabinet and then are brazen enough — and foolish enough — to offer the pills for up to $20 a pop over the Internet.

“Whether the drug deal occurs on the street corner or on the Internet, it’s a crime,” Bridget Brennan, special narcotics prosecutor for New York City, said Thursday in a statement announcing the arrests.

Undercover narcotics investigators answered the ads and ended up buying handfuls of powerful prescription painkillers and other pills for a few hundred dollars, typically in broad daylight and in public settings such as coffee shops, Penn Station or Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village.

Some of the sellers turned out to be run-ofthe mill drug dealers also peddling cocaine and heroin, police said. But many were more mainstream: Among those arrested were a New York University graduate student, a financial adviser and a 62-year-old woman who

“

Whether the drug deal occurs on the street corner or on the Internet, it’s a crime.”

— Bridget Brennan, special narcotics prosecutor for New York City works as a freelance photographer.

The pills came from the sellers’ own meds or were stolen from relatives, friends and co-workers, authorities said. Some of the dealers were out to make a quick buck — even though their backgrounds would suggest they didn’t need the money.

The arrests come as law enforcement agencies around the country battle a surge in illegal sales of highly addictive painkillers like Percocet and Roxycodone and, increasingly, attentiondeficit drugs like Adderall — transactions that now rival the cocaine and heroin trade both in volume and as a public health hazard.

Because the drugs have legal medical uses, they carry less of a stigma than illegal narcotics. After they were arrested, some of the sellers claimed they didn’t know what they were doing was a crime.

But investigators don’t buy it.

“You’d have to be living under a rock to not know it’s illegal,” Brennan said.

Brennan’s office reached out to San Francisco-based Craigslist earlier this week to try to get its cooperation in finding ways to discourage the Internet marketing. A Craigslist spokeswoman had no comment Thursday.

News puzzle As newspapers struggle across the country, questions and values continue to come into focus.

R

ecently the Journal-World had a nightmarish occurrence when an entire section of the newspaper was inadvertently left out of the day’s paper.

Our readers’ reaction may be instructive.

Although it’s National Newspaper Week, it doesn’t feel like a time for celebrating.

Around the country, it’s hardly a secret, newspapers are struggling. Like the Journal-World, they are outsourcing, cutting, taking numerous steps to balance revenues and expenses, and studying murky crystal balls to analyze the future. Many have eliminated days of the week when they’re published. All are grappling to determine the best course for the future as technological changes blow across the landscape.

Good numbers of news consumers are moving to digital.

Many have Does that mean a eliminated days paywall is the answer? Will print of the week eventually be free when they’re and digital paid?

Or should subpublished. All are grappling to scription prices for print be increased, determine the as some “experts” best course for suggest? Are transactional revenues the future as — you buy sometechnological thing and the news changes blow organization’s webacross the land- site gets a share — part of the solution scape. to stabilize the expensive “business” of keeping the public informed?

Back to that missing section! Part of what it contained, leading to a blizzard of phone calls, was the daily puzzles. Of course, if the main section had been omitted, a larger surge of calls might have resulted, but subscribers definitely were looking for their puzzles on that occasion.

The point may be that it’s the little things that folks may miss in an immediate episode, and that’s too bad. As community information providers go through a painful transition, as they are now, ultimately what might be lost — and missed with more serious consequences than omitted puzzles — will be the stories that shine light on otherwise mundane actions, that point out questionable expenditures or practices, that explain why a street is deteriorating, that alert citizens to what’s taking place at the next school board meeting, along with the columns and editorials that question decisions, suggest possibilities or cry for action to benefit us all.

They say you don’t miss the water until the well goes dry. It’s National Newspaper Week.

Jailed Iraqi poses test for Baghdad When the presidential candidates finally get to their foreign policy debate, they aren’t likely to dwell on Iraq.

No wonder. That subject — which most Americans want to forget — doesn’t reflect well on either political party.

Nothing more clearly reveals the sad state we’ve left behind than the case of Riyadh al-Adhadh, a Sunni doctor who thought democracy could change his country. Elected deputy chairman of the Baghdad Provincial Council, Dr. Riyadh (as everyone calls him) has been jailed for the last eight months, wrongly accused of terrorism. He suffers from serious health problems.

“I am innocent,” the doctor told me last week, with heavy emotion, in a phone call from prison. “I was twice the victim of assassination attempts because I believe in democracy and elections. I am working through the constitution. I do not believe you have to use violence to get change.”

Americans who know Dr. Riyadh well think the charges against him are absurd.

So what’s going on?

The doctor’s case seems to be part of an effort by Iraq’s Shiite-led government to marginalize Sunnis, including elected officials, and to monopolize power. But excluding Sunnis from the political system is a path that could return Iraq to chaos and sectarian warfare.

That’s why the case of Dr. Riyadh symbolizes something much bigger than the fate of one man.

I first met Dr. Riyadh in 2003 through Col. Joe Rice, an Army reservist from Denver who went on to serve five tours in Iraq. Rice was advising Iraqis on setting up

The case of Dr. Riyadh symbolizes something much bigger than the fate of one man.” new local government institutions in Baghdad. He was working with Dr. Riyadh, who lived in Adhamiyah, a large neighborhood in Baghdad that became a hotbed of violent Sunni resistance to the American occupation.

After Saddam Hussein fell, most Sunnis boycotted elections, but Dr. Riyadh insisted that Sunnis had to participate in the new political process.

He belonged to the Iraqi Islamic Party, a moderate Islamic political group that chose to compete by ballot rather than take up guns.

The doctor joined the local Adhamiyah Council (two of whose members were murdered), then ran successfully for Baghdad Provincial Council. (His risky political efforts were portrayed in a poignant 2005 documentary

by Laura Poitras, My Country, My Country, that was nominated for an Academy Award.) He planned to run for re-election next year.

“Some people accuse me of working for the Americans,” Dr. Riyadh told me during a 2004 visit to his Adhamiyah Free Clinic. “But I think I must take part in the political process because I want the people to have rep-

resentation.” The doctor was also protected by his reputation for treating the needy without charge.

When Rice invited the doctor and other council members to Denver in 2005 to observe local government, the doctor spoke out about abuses at Abu Ghraib prison, which infuriated U.S. authorities in Baghdad. But he also used his time to soak up information on the workings of the American political system.

“He wanted to learn about the powers and authorities of local government,” Rice told me by phone this week, from Denver. “He was very interested in United Way and nonprofits and how they work.” I asked Rice if he could imagine Dr. Riyadh being involved in violence and he replied forcefully, “No!” So why has the doctor been brought before judges seven times, and each time returned to jail without a verdict (with the judge clearly under political pressure)?

Why has he been deprived of the special food and medicine he needs for his diabetes and hypertension?

His plight reveals all too well the political mess the United States left behind in Iraq.

The U.S. invasion ended decades of control by the Sunni minority and propelled the Shiites into power.

It also vastly increased the influence of Shiite Iran on Iraqi politics.

As U.S. troops drew down, Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki’s government feared a Sunni resurgence and began arresting Sunni parliamentarians, along with many Sunnis who had abandoned militancy and fought with American forces. Maliki also

failed to honor a pledge to share power with the Sunnidominated Iraqiya party, which won a narrow majority of seats in the last elections — despite intense efforts by Vice President Biden to broker a deal.

Maliki’s fears appear to have been intensified by the war next door in Syria, where rebels from a Sunni majority are threatening to unseat the Alawite (Shiite) regime of Bashar al-Assad.

Yet the Iraqi leader’s policies are extremely counterproductive. With Iraqi politics paralyzed, a few Sunnis extremists are once again trying to reignite a civil war by bombing Shiite civilians.

Dragnet arrests of Sunnis will only ignite this fire.

If Sunnis are falsely accused and election results disrespected, or if they are prevented from running, Sunnis will feel that Iraq’s system excludes them.

If democrats like Dr. Riyadh are left to languish in prison, it will signal that Iraq is heading down a dangerous road, with the United States unwilling or unable to prevent this. Human Rights Watch warned in February that Iraq was in danger of turning into “a budding police state.”

Perhaps I’m being unfair to Prime Minister Maliki, who insists he wants to unify his country. If so, the release of Dr. Riyadh — and others like him — would be a brave and farsighted move in that direction.

When the doctor is next brought before a judge, on Oct. 18, his fate will signal which way Iraq is headed.

I’ll let my readers know the result.

Right investment To the editor: The Journal-World should be commended for shining a light on the problems caused by a lack of services for the mentally ill (in its “Jail challenge” editorial of Oct. 9).

Housing the mentally ill in jails is extremely costly, both to their health and to the public purse.

Fortunately, help may be on the way. Many people with mental illness end up in jail because they don’t get the health care services and medications they need. Why not? Because they don’t have health insurance.

Under the Affordable Care Act, more than 240,000 currently uninsured Kansans will get insurance coverage. In Douglas County, this means as many as 11,000 more people will be insured.

There will still be barriers to mental health care, but a lack of health insurance will no longer be one of them.

Of course, for these benefits to be realized, the ACA must be implemented. And

that will require that Gov. Brownback and the Legislature choose to expand the Medicaid program, the likely avenue of coverage for much of the mentally ill population.

The cost to the state of expanding Medicaid, estimated by the Kaiser Family Foundation at $166 million from 2014-2019, is not trivial. This investment, however, will return nearly $3.5 billion in new federal dollars and allow savings in other parts of state and local budgets, such as the cost of housing huge numbers of mentally ill patients in our jails and prisons.

Medicaid expansion is good for those with mental health needs and good for the state.

Sheldon Weisgrau, Lawrence

Please vote To the editor: Every couple of years I talk to people who say they have “nothing” to do with politics and government and that they will not vote. I beg to differ. The most important

people may be the 50 percent or more who will not vote.

Everyone participates in politics each time they drive, buy gas or a pack of gum or anything else. Government is also involved in your workplace and home. Those who sit on the sidelines are not doing themselves or the rest of us any favors. Get out and vote and get in the game.

Paul R. Getto, Topeka

take the nation BACK. Friday’s debate between congressional candidates Jenkins and Schlingensiepen turned on Romney’s PBS statement. That’s because Romney’s PBS comment is a an unvarnished threat about where the right wing of the GOP intends to take the nation. There are no ifs, ands or buts.

Congresswoman Jenkins reiterated that fact.

So Scott Rothschild got the lead right. Romney’s wasn’t an off-the-cuff remark. It was a naked statement of intention. Everyone should be To the editor: guided by that fact.

Scott Rothschild’s lead Larry Day, on the presidential debate Lawrence story was right on target.

Mitt Romney’s threat to Letters Policy shut down PBS resounded The Journal-World welcomes letters to across the nation as the the Public Forum. Letters should be 250 clarion blare of the Tea Par- words or less, be of public interest and should ty’s trumpet “We’re going avoid name-calling and libelous language.

Late Night begins trek to tourney for ‘Hawks

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA DAY

Setting the pace

By Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

The Kansas University women’s basketball team went dancing, as in playing in the NCAA Tournament, last March for the first time since the 1999-2000 season.

Nobody played better than Angel Goodrich then. The women will go dancing, as in moving their feet to the rhythm of the beat, tonight during Late Night festivities. Goodrich warns against expecting a miracle equivalent to the Sweet 16 run the tournament bubble team went on without its leading scorer.

“I’d rather just play ball because we do a lot of dancing and Goodrich dancing’s not my forte,” TONIGHT’S Goodrich said. “I can’t THE NIGHT dance at all, so I’d rather What: 28th annual Late just play.”

times,” she said of her shortcomings.

She’s grown as a basketball player and leader, even if her dancing skills haven’t kept pace. A 5-foot-3, fifth-year senior point guard, Goodrich is an All-America candidate and has enough talent on the wings and in the post playing with her to make a winning season in Big 12 play a realistic possibility.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY SENIOR POINT GUARD ELIJAH JOHNSON SAYS he’s ready to step up as the Jayhawks’ leader on and off the court.

KU coach Bill Self said he’ll rely on Johnson to teach and keep the team’s nine newcomers in line.

Senior guard Elijah Johnson relishing lead role for KU

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

For the first time in a long time, there’s a new point guard running the show at Kansas University.

He’s former Jayhawk combo guard Elijah Johnson, who takes over as floor general following the departure of fouryear starter Tyshawn Taylor, a rookie with the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets.

“Hand the keys over. I’ll drive. I definitely will drive,” the articulate 6-foot-4 Las Vegas senior said Thursday at

men’s basketball Media Day in Allen Fieldhouse.

“But it’s not just about me,” Johnson quickly added, disagreeing with an inquisitor who referred to the 2012-13 Jayhawks as “Elijah’s team.”

“Thanks for the compliment,” Johnson said, “but it’s still, ‘our year.’ If we lose, Travis (Releford) is going to feel worse than I feel.

Jeff (Withey) is going to feel worse than I feel. Kevin (Young) is going to feel it’s our last run. I’ll share it with them,” he added of his fellow Jayhawk seniors.

Johnson, who averaged 10.2 points a game with 137 assists against 71 turnovers last year for KU’s NCAA runner-up team, does admit it’s nice to be a lead guard once again.

The last time he had the same responsibility was his senior year at Cheyenne High.

“Honestly, yes I have (missed it),” Johnson said. “I think that setting the pace and being a person who can bring air into the room, giving life ...

I think that’s the funnest part of basketball. I really do.

CITY SOCCER SHOWDOWN

Lions hold off Firebirds, 1-0

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Midway through the second half of its city showdown with rival Free State High on Thursday, Lawrence’s boys soccer team found itself in a peculiar spot.

The Lions had just lost one of their captains, senior Johannes Reiber, for the remainder of their home rivalry game after he received his second yellow card. LHS would be forced to play a man down for the final 23 John Young/Journal-World Photo minutes.

LAWRENCE HIGH MIDFIELDER JUSTIN RILEY (21) LAUNCHES A SHOT past Free If the shorthanded Lions State defender Jordan Patrick during the city soccer showdown on Thursday wanted to survive against a at LHS.

pesky and increasingly confident bunch of Firebirds, someone needed to make something happen. Quick.

Of late, there’s been no LHS man better for that kind of job than senior midfielder Justin Riley. Less than three minutes after Reiber’s ejection, Riley’s low-flying free kick from about 25 yards out torpedoed just inside the left post, giving Lawrence a 1-0 advantage that stood until the game clock hit zeroes.

“From my freshman year, you always dream about playing Free State and what happens when you score,” said Riley, who has scored

eight goals in Lawrence’s last four games. “It’s kind of surreal when it actually happens. I didn’t know what I was doing. As soon as I scored I didn’t know what to do with myself. I just ran over to the fans.”

The rest of his teammates on the field followed their captain and a wild celebration ensued just in front of the LHS student section. That proved to be a precursor to the onfield party that took place when the game concluded.

Williams ready to coach after scare CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina coach Roy Williams can’t wait to start practice this weekend — and for years to come — after his recent cancer scare.

“You always have people say when you hear that word that it knocks you for a Williams loop,” Williams said Thursday.

“And it does. You’re off the charts in every different direction. But I told my team that I was going to coach this team.

And I felt that way.”

Speaking at the team’s preseason media day, the Hall of

Famer described a “whirlwind 24 days” between the time doctors discovered tumors on both his kidneys and when they determined the growths were benign.

The 62-year-old said that while he plans to “smell the roses a heck of a lot more,” his recent health issues haven’t changed his plan to coach another six to 10 years at UNC. “It does change you,” Williams said. “Anybody that says it doesn’t, they’re a lot stronger or more wacko than I am. I really want to coach this team.

And you know what’s going to happen next year? I’m really going to want to coach that team again, too.”

When Williams had surgery

to remove the tumor on his right kidney on Sept. 19, doctors had told him it was likely cancerous. But tests soon determined it was an oncocytoma, a benign growth often indistinguishable from kidney cancer on X-rays that doesn’t spread like a cancerous tumor would.

Doctors later performed a biopsy on the left-kidney tumor and determined last week that it was also benign. They didn’t surgically remove it. Williams said doctors will monitor that growth every six months for the immediate future.

UNC opens preseason practice Saturday with the challenge of replacing NBA first-round draft picks Harrison Barnes, John Henson, Kendall Marshall

Titans topple Steelers NASHVILLE, TENN. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans have bought themselves a little breathing room with a much-needed victory, and the Pittsburgh Steelers still can’t win away from Heinz Field.

Rob Bironas kicked his fourth field goal, a 40-yarder as time expired, and the Titans beat the Steelers, 26-23, on Thursday night to snap a two-game skid.

Matt Hasselbeck threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Britt with 4:19 left to tie it at 23, and the Titans (2-4) snapped a three-game losing streak against the Steelers.

Pittsburgh (2-3) lost its third straight road game this season and for the fifth time in six games dating to last season despite Ben Roethlisberger throwing for 363 yards and becoming the Steelers’ career passing leader.

Roethlisberger drove the Steelers into position to take the lead after the Titans tied it. Shaun Suisham, who already had connected from 29, 28 and 52 yards, had his 54-yard attempt fall short of the crossbar with 49 seconds left.

Chris Johnson ran for 91 yards on 19 carries, and Hasselbeck finished with 290 yards passing.

The Steelers were up 2016 when Lawrence Timmons picked off Hasselbeck’s pass, but they had to settle for Suisham’s third field goal after moving the ball only 14 yards.

That field goal put Pittsburgh up 23-16, and the NFL’s fourthranked defense couldn’t make that stand up.

Johnson, who has been criticized mercilessly for his struggles running the ball, kicked off Tennessee’s next drive with a 12-yard run.

The Titans drove 80 yards before Hasselbeck found Britt to tie it.

After the Titans stopped Pittsburgh, Hasselbeck drove them 33 yards with the big play a 25-yard pass to tight end Jared Cook on a night his mother, Yulinda, was honored as a breast cancer survivor.

“When he told us the other kidney (tumor) was benign, it was just like a big relief,” sophomore guard P.J. Hairston said.

“We wanted him to get better.

We want him to be on the court to practice. Now it’s just a great feeling to have him around now.

He can move around more. He’s doing a lot more now.”

Reserve sophomore Jackson Simmons said the team tried to keep Williams’ spirits up as he recovered. That included sending a video the day of his surgery with all the players mimicking Williams’ fists-clinched, squatting pose he often strikes.

TRAINERS ASSIST KANSAS CITY CHIEFS QUARTERBACK Matt Cassel on Sunday in Kansas City, Mo. Cassel has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay.

K.C.’s Cassel ruled out; Quinn to start Sunday KANSAS CITY, MO. — Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel has been ruled out for Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay with a concussion, and Brady Quinn will start an NFL game for the first time since the 2009 season.

Coach Romeo Crennel said Thursday that doctors have not cleared Cassel after he was hurt in the fourth quarter of a 9-6 loss to Baltimore last Sunday. Cassel has only spent a short period of time at the practice facility this week and it’s unclear how long he might be out.

“We’re trying to put the focus on preparing for Tampa Bay. We got a start on that yesterday,” Crennel said. “We’re going to try to be competitive and give ourselves the best chance to win.”

Quinn, a former first-round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns, has been taking repetitions with the first team in practice this week. Ricky Stanzi will serve as the backup.

Cassel struggled mightily even before getting hurt, and it was possible that a change in quarterback would have been made eventually.

Cassel had been completing just 58.5 percent of his passes and thrown nine interceptions against five touchdowns this season.

Quinn was perfect on three pass attempts on the Chiefs’ final series against Baltimore, but had a go-ahead touchdown pass wiped out by offensive pass interference. Kansas City was forced to kick a field goal, and the defense was unable to get the ball back in the closing minutes.

Quinn hasn’t started a game since Dec. 12, 2009, when he was still with the Browns.

Commentator Cook dies at 81 PITTSBURGH — Beano Cook, the college football commentator with an encyclopedic knowledge of the sport he dearly loved, has died.

The 81-year-old Boston native had worked for ESPN since 1986 and was the sports information director at his alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh, from 1956 to 1966. The school announced Thursday that Cook had died in his sleep.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

LHS, FSHS refocus for district openers Lions not looking past Leavenworth Firebirds face fellow 5-1, Wyandotte

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

There is something about the start of district play that brings on an intensified focus.

The postseason isn’t far away now, and Lawrence High football coach Dirk Wedd noticed the subtle changes in his players the past few days as they prepared for their district opener against Leavenworth — 7 p.m. kickoff today at Lawrence.

“There’s a little bit more urgency in everything that we’re doing,” W e d d said. “You can kind of tell, the s e n i o r s SIXTH IN especially, A ROW? this is the third time Who: Leavt h e y ’ v e enworth g o n e (3-3) at Lawt h r o u g h rence High this.”

(5-1) In fact, seven Li- When: 7 ons se- tonight niors are Where: LHS three-year letter-winners: running back Jordan Brown, lineman Kharon Brown, receiver Drake Hofer, running back Tyrone Jenkins, linebacker Asaph Jewsome (out with an injury), receiver Erick Mayo and quarterback Brad Strauss.

That experienced core, Jordan Brown said, makes it clear to everyone else that Friday night outcomes carry more weight now, with four district teams (the Lions, Pioneers, Free State and Kansas City, Kan., Wyandotte) battling for two Class 6A playoff berths.

“Everyone knows that we could be done if we lose one game and slip up,” Brown said.

With a showdown against Free State (5-1, ranked No. 1 in 6A) looming two weeks away, Green admitted it’s difficult to not look ahead, but the Lions (5-1) have plenty of motivation to stay focused on the task at hand.

“If we don’t go in playing them 2-0 (in district), that game probably doesn’t mean much,” Green said.

Wedd said any of the four teams in District 1 have a shot at making a postseason run. Hav-

ing won five straight, a stretch in which they haven’t trailed, the Lions have momentum heading into their Senior Night game against the Pioneers (3-3).

Leavenworth’s offense features the Sunflower League’s third-leading rusher, running back Jason Randall (769 yards, six touchdowns). Wedd said Randall is the latest in a line of “big-time” rushers LHS has faced this season, but Pioneers quarterback Judson Cole (725 passing yards, six touchdowns) also worries him, because Cole is cable of breaking contain and improvising.

“You’d be hard pressed to find better skill in any district,” Wedd said.

The Lions have no shortage of weapons, either. Strauss leads the league in passing yards (1,304, 13 touchdowns) and total offense (1,769 yards).

Thompson (446 receiving yards) trails only Shawnee Mission East’s Connor Rellihan (573) in receiving yards and is joined

by Mayo (360) and Hofer (321) in the top seven.

As a starting linebacker, Green said Lawrence’s defense wants to keep Randall and Cole contained and let the Lions offense do its thing.

“We’re all playing for the same goal: to get a state championship,” Green said. “We have to play at our best the whole time.”

As Free State High’s football players focused this week on their district opener, they found out last week’s victory over Shawnee Mission East had vaulted them to the No. 1 spot in the Kansas Football Media Poll for Class 6A. The Firebirds (5-1) had no problem reveling in their accomplishment, but junior lineman Fred Wyatt said they made sure the excitement came and went.

“It probably puts more of a bull’s-eye on our back than it does help us,” Wyatt said.

of our business (tonight), we’ll be wondering what happened to us.”

Leading Wyandotte’s arsenal is junior quarterback Dimonic McKinzy, an athlete reported to have scholarship offers from Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. Lisher said McKinzy has the mobility to avoid pressure and sacks.

“If he does that and leaves the pocket and scrambles around, he likes to keep his eyes down the field and he can throw the ball and make plays,” Lisher said, “plus he can run the ball and make plays because of his speed and athletic ability.”

Waytt said the Firebirds haven’t seen a mobile quarterback like McKinzy this season. Senior lineman Cody Stanclift agreed, noting that FSHS just faced the opposite of McKinzy, traditional pocket passer Jordan Darling of SME last week.

However, that doesn’t

We didn’t give ourselves a chance,” Barah said, adding that LHS contributed to their troubles by making the Firebirds play out of character.

Free State’s best shot at an equalizer came in the 72nd minute. Junior midfielder Chris Allen drew a foul about 20 yards away from the goal. Allen took the following free kick, which missed wide right.

“In a tight match like that with not much time left in the game,” Barah said, “we thought it would sneak in on the inside of the post. But it went on the other side. We feel like our season has been that way.”

While FSHS senior

goalkeeper Luke Lesslie denied seven LHS shot attempts, the Firebirds offense had no shots on goal. Murphy said the Lions controlled the defensive midfield, as well as the back line in a fantastic defensive effort.

Davies said he, Bray Kelley, Dalen Reed, Conor Henrichs and the rest of the Lawrence defense always play with confidence. That showed in the final minute, when senior defender Tristan Alfie cut off an angling Buzz Walters right in front of Lawrence’s goal.

“Everybody that comes into the game is gonna be able to put in good minutes and play real well for us,” Davies said. “We can’t

really do anything wrong when it comes to our talent.”

FSHS senior defender Anthony Richardson said Lawrence played more physical and faster in the win.

“There were chances where we didn’t step and we should’ve and let chances go by,” Richardson said. “We didn’t really have that many options.

Our options that we did have, we didn’t execute very well.”

The Lions, winners of four of their last five, play Tuesday at Shawnee Mission West.

The Firebirds, on a four-game losing skid, play host to Mill Valley on Monday.

mean the Firebirds won’t try to harass Wyandotte’s agile QB. “We’ve just got to put pressure on him and keep him inside the pocket so he’s not able to run out and make big plays on third down,” Stanclift said.

Of course, the Firebirds have a mobile quarterback of their own. Senior Kyle McFarland is the Sunflower League’s fourth-leading passer (840 yards, nine touchdowns), ninth-best rusher (496 yards, four touchdowns) and his 1,336 total yards trail only Lawrence QB Brad Strauss (1,769).

FSHS senior receiver Tye Hughes is fifth in the league with 366 receiving yards. Senior linebacker Corban Schmidt leads the league with 72 total tackles, and his fellow linebacker, junior Keith Loneker, is eighth with 57.

Lisher also feels comfortable with the FSHS secondary against McKinzy. Free State corners Demarko Bobo and McFarland and safety Joe Dineen have combined for eight interceptions.

Now that it’s district time, Stanclift said the Firebirds can’t think about their new No. 1 ranking, because the postseason is ultimately much more important.

“We’ve just got to keep doing what we’re doing,” Stanclift said, “because obviously we’re having success to be No. 1.”

KU football preps for up-tempo OSU

Soccer celebration and Lions goalkeeper Jeff Mekus and defender Parker Davies were hoisted to the top of a mass of humanity as LHS celebrated its win.

The Lions (9-4-1) were a long way from elation when Reiber picked up his second yellow card.

He and FSHS defender Josh Hodge — who also received a yellow card — exchanged some shoves near the sideline after the ball was out of play. Davies said LHS was lucky the Firebirds (6-8) didn’t capitalize with a man advantage.

“They were playing hard and had been hanging with us for that first half,” Davies said. “They’re a really good team and all bets are off when it’s a rivalry game, so that (playing a man down) really gave me a scare.”

Lawrence coach Mike Murphy said the intensity of the game likely contributed to the lack of discipline Reiber showed, and that his cards would be addressed in practice.

“They’re high school teenagers with a lot of testosterone,” Murphy said.

“Unfortunately, it’s gonna happen.”

Riley’s goal accounted for one of Lawrence’s 20 shots in the win, while Free State had just two.

Firebirds coach Kelly Barah said his team failed to execute.

Thursday night at Olathe East, the Firebirds, with 103.1 points, had to settle for second after host O-East scored 103.65.

Lawrence finished third at the quad, with 93.6 points.

Carrie Howland led FSHS in the vault, balance beam and floor exercise.

Ashley Ammann had the top scores for LHS in the same events.

Both teams will compete Saturday at the Sunflower League Championships at Shawnee Mission East.

Last season, in a 70-28 loss to Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla., the Kansas University football team marched down the field on its opening drive, took a 7-0 lead, blinked and found itself trailing by 49 points at halftime.

Yes, there were still 15 minutes in each quarter, but the Oklahoma State offense chose not to use much of that time while racking up touchdown after touchdown against KU’s overmatched and out-of-breath defense.

Consider this: The eight straight OSU touchdown drives that followed KU’s initial score took an average of five plays and 1:44.

Four of them took less than a minute and the longest was a 12-play drive that took just 3:14 off the clock.

Although a few key pieces of OSU’s crazypaced offense are gone, the Cowboys still utilize the same fastbreak style and the Jayhawks are expecting to see plenty of it this weekend when they play host to OSU at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

“As soon as you finish the play, it’s get right back to the ball, get lined up and get the call because there’s no time for any wasted movement or any wasted time,” senior safety Bradley McDougald recalled.

While most of the OSU tempo comes from its nohuddle, quick-throw attack, the Cowboys also prominently feature tailback Joseph Randle — he leads the Big 12 in rushing and is sixth nationally — and are not afraid to take whatever the defense gives them.

“They attack all areas of the football field,” defensive coordinator Dave Campo said. “And I think, No. 1, we gotta make sure we don’t give up the big play in the passing game.

That’s first.”

To that end, the Jayhawks have been prepar-

“

— KU safety Bradley McDougald on playing Oklahoma State ing all week for the faster pace. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be ready.

“It’s something you can’t simulate at practice,” senior Toben Opurum said. “You kind of have to mentally prepare for it and get yourself ready for what they’re gonna do.”

Although the Cowboy way almost always shifts the advantage to Oklahoma State’s side of the field, several KU defenders said there were ways to flip the script.

“The good thing about that is you don’t have too many plays that they’re gonna spin off of that,” McDougald said. “Of course, they’ll add motion to try to confuse you, but usually when teams are going that fast they’re running the same two or three plays.”

Added senior linebacker Tunde Bakare, who said the OSU game last year was one of the more unbelievable experiences of his life: “What you have to do to stop that, is make a big play, get a turnover, something like that. Because once you get them off track it’s hard for them to keep speeding up the tempo.”

Doing that is certainly easier said than done, and that’s why Bakare began preparing for this week’s game long before it arrived on the schedule.

“Actually, this offseason, that was one of the games I got in shape because of,” Bakare said. “I didn’t feel like I was in good shape that game and I’ve just really tried to get more prepared for games like that.”

LATE NIGHT IN THE PHOG

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Jayhawks eager to hit the court

By Gary Bedore

FUTURE JAYHAWKS?

gbedore@ljworld.com

There’s a lot of sweat — and little payoff at the time — for Kansas University’s basketball players, who work on their bodies and their individual skill-sets during the months of April, May, June, July, August, September and early October.

“The momentum never stops really,” KU senior guard Elijah Johnson said of the period of time following KU’s last game — a national title loss to Kentucky on April 2 — and today, date of the 28th annual Late Night in the Phog.

“Guys are putting in the hard work and they don’t know why. Now they get to see (why),” Johnson added.

Today’s season-opening Late Night, set for a 6:30 p.m. start in Allen Fieldhouse, is generally regarded as the single greatest recruiting tool of the school year — a way to show high school and/or junior college prospects a good time in front of 16,300 adoring Jayhawk fans.

Late Night is something else, as well: It’s a reward for the current players for their efforts to improve in the offseason.

“My favorite part,” Johnson said of Late Night, “is being in the tunnel before we come out — just the suspense. Getting to see the (highlight) video for the first time ... the freshmen and everybody being excited for it. You can’t wait to get out there.

That’s the best part.”

Doors for Late Night swing open at 5:30 p.m. today with the actual program running from 6:30 until approximately 9:30 Admission is free.

“My favorite part is just being out there in front of all the fans again, being able to play and just knowing we’re that much closer to the season,” said fifth-year senior Travis

Three of the top uncommitted high school senior basketball prospects in the country will attend tonight’s Late Night in the Phog in Allen Fieldhouse.

They are: No. 5-rated (by Rivals.com) Aaron Gordon, 6-8 forward, Archbishop Mitty High, San Jose, Calif.; No. 23 Wayne Selden, 6-5 combo guard, Tilton (N.H.) High and unranked Joel Embiid, 7-foot center, Rock School, Gainesville, Fla. They’ll be sitting behind KU’s bench with future Jayhawk Conner Frankamp, a 6-0 guard from Wichita North, who has orally committed to KU. He’s the No. 28-ranked player in the class of 2013.

A look at KU’s guests: Aaron Gordon, 6-8, 205: Gordon has a list of KU, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, Kentucky and Cal. He’s the brother of former UCLA player Drew Gordon, who transferred to New Mexico.

“They got a word to describe Aaron Gordon where I come from.......

PRO,” Rivals.com’s Eric Bossi tweeted after watching Gordon play last spring.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY MEN’S BASKETBALL COACH BILL SELF ADDRESSES THE CROWD during Late Night in the Phog in this file photo from Oct. 15, 2010. Self and the 2012-2013 Jayhawks will kick off their season with the 28th annual event tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.

Releford, a native of Kansas City, Mo. “I’ve been going to Late Night since my freshman year of high school.

That’d be nine Late Nights. They’re always a lot of fun,” he added.

It’s a nice way for KU’s freshmen to become acclimated to the atmosphere of the fieldhouse.

“All the years before I got here I got the chance to come up here and see how it is. It’s a great experience,” said forward Perry Ellis, a freshman from Wichita. “Now I get a chance to be in it. I’m looking forward to it. It’s exciting, the venue, all the people. It’s cool.”

Andrew White III, a freshman from Ches-

ter, Va., said Late Night, “means a lot to me and the team because you know it’s ‘season time.’ I know I’ve heard we have to dance a little bit. That won’t be too good for me, but I’m going to have fun with it,” he added of the annual skits and dancing. “I look forward to the scrimmage (to conclude Late Night), seeing all the fans. I also have about four family members that are flying in. It should be a great experience, a great way to get the season started.”

The players annually get a kick out of the dancing, which is a way to show off their personalities.

“I am just prepared to

show people what they are planning to see out of me,” said freshman guard Rio Adams of Seattle. “Of course it’ll be exciting, definitely a show.”

“It’s going to be exciting. I can’t wait,” said Plano, Texas, freshman forward Zach Peters.

KU coach Bill Self is hoping his 10th Late Night is KU’s finest. Though he cautions to not expect too much out of the annual scrimmage.

“I’m excited,” he said.

“I do believe this, though, we are not very good right now. I don’t know many teams that are, but we’re not. I think we have a chance to be good. I think fans should be excited, because it’s their

new group coming in. Of course Ben (McLemore) and Jamari (Traylor) had to sit out last year. Throw in the other six or seven new guys we’ve got ... it is kind of an exciting deal.

The unknown ... I love the unknown, trying to fix it, mold it, shape it the way you think would give you the best chance. I like the process. Hopefully the fans will enjoy the process as well.”

As far as Late Night ... he’s a big fan. “It’s a celebration to start the season. At KU it works and works well. It’s kind of become a ritual with us.

People take pride in it. It’s certainly one of the most fun nights of the year for us,” Self said.

Wayne Selden, 6-5, 225: Selden, who has a list of KU, Florida, Missouri, UCLA, Syracuse and Ohio State, was originally a member of the Class of 2014 who decided in June to reclassify to the Class of ‘13.

Rivals.com’s Bossi has tapped Selden one of the 10 most physical players in the entire class, saying “Selden is built more like your typical tight end than a high school shooting guard.”

Joel Embiid, 7-foot, 220: Embiid, who is originally from Cameroon, has a list of KU, Florida, Louisville, UCLA, Marquette, Texas, DePaul, Wake Forest and Virginia. The 17-year-old Embiid started playing basketball just a year ago.

“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 Bossi.

Nine newcomers set to start season tonight

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

A whopping nine Kansas University basketball newcomers will be playing before a crowd in Allen Fieldhouse for the first time tonight.

Five true freshmen scholarship players — Rio Adams, Perry Ellis, Landen Lucas, Zach Peters and Andrew White III — will be joined by two red-shirts from the Class of 2011 (Ben McLemore, Jamari Traylor) and two incoming frosh walk-ons (Evan Manning, Tyler Self).

It’s a party of nine that impressed 10th-year KU coach Bill Self on his team’s summertime tour of Switzerland and France.

“We’ve got a good group of freshmen ... you’ve got to throw Ben (McLemore) and Jamari (Traylor) in there, too,” Self said of red-shirts ineligible to participate in Late Night a year ago.

“It is a young group, but I think a pretty talented group. I think it can go down three or four years from now as one of our better recruiting classes.

But it still remains to be seen how soon they’ll be able to deliver. I’m hopeful soon because we are going to need them to play,” Self added.

KU’s latest version of the Fab Five includes McDonald’s All-American Ellis, ranked 24th nationally by Rivals.com in the Class of 2012, as well as White (No. 51), Adams (No. 98), Peters (No. 137) and Lucas (unranked).

McLemore and Traylor were ranked Nos. 17 and 141 in the Class of 2011, while Manning

and Self are the unrated, non-scholarship walk-ons joining the program.

“Bill Self has put together a solid five-man class with the five-star, four-time state champion and player of the year Ellis leading the charge,” Rivals.com wrote in announcing its final team rankings last April.

“White, a four-star wing, is an excellent shooter while Adams is a physical, slashing, fourstar combo guard. A pair of physical big men, Peters and Lucas, round out the (10th rated) class,” Rivals.com assessed.

Here’s a quick look at the Jayhawk newcomers. ...

Perry Ellis, 6-8, 225, Wichita Heights: Ellis, the state’s first McDonald’s All-American since Wayne Simien, averaged 19.2 points and 11.7 rebounds per game as a freshman, 22.2 points and 10.4 rebounds as a sophomore, 22.1 points and 7.9 rebounds as a junior Ellis and 25.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, one steal and one block per game as a senior. His team won state all four years.

“Perry has been highlytouted, but a pleasant surprise. He can score. This is what this team needs,” Self said.

Andrew White III, 6-6, 210, Chester, Va.: White, who averaged 22.9 points and 10 rebounds a game for (20-10) Miller School last

season, is known for his long-range marksmanship.

“Yes, Andrew can shoot. We need that losing Conner (Teahan),” Self said.

“Andrew is going to be a good player He’s still figuring things out.

He is a tall White guard ...

6-6 guys who can shoot it ... they are fun to have.”

Rio Adams, 6-3, 180, Seattle: Adams, who averaged 21.0 points, 6.0 assists and 5.0 rebounds a game for 27-3 state champion Rainier Beach High, has been compared to Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat.

“I think Rio has a lot of talent. He just has to figure it out,” Self said of the state of Washington’s AP Player of the Year. “He’s a really good athlete. I think he’ll give us an element of toughness, too.

He’s capable of being an elite guard.”

Zach Peters, 6-9, 240, Plano, Texas: Peters, who averaged 14.7 points and 7.2 rebounds last season for state championship team Prestonwood Christian Academy, reminds some of former University of Texas s t a n d - Peters out Brad Buckman.

“He’s a legit 6-9, 240-pound high school senior that can really shoot

the basketball,” Self said.

“He’s big and rugged. We can play him to where he’s big enough to defend the five (post) or skilled enough to play in at the four (power forward).”

Peters, who committed to KU with two years remaining in high school, likes KU’s crop of freshmen.

“I think there’s nine of us, a ton of freshmen,” he said. “We are extremely underrated first of all, actually very underrated. I think we’re going to surprise a lot of people.”

Peters won’t play tonight. He’s out four to six weeks with a rotator cuff injury.

Landen Lucas, 6-10, 230, Portland: Lucas averaged 19.3 points, 13.5 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 1.8 assists per game last season for 18-7 Westview High.

“Landen has been a pleasant surprise,” Self said.

“He can shoot it.

He can pass it.

He under- Lucas stands the game like the big guys we’ve had here in the past, such as Sasha (Kaun) and Darnell (Jackson) that really have a great feel on how to play.”

Of college ball, Lucas said: “The biggest adjustment will be the size difference. Everyone is big. Everyone is quick.

You can usually find a weakness in a big in high school. Everyone is talented around here. Getting adjusted to the tempo ... that’ll eventually come with just playing. It’ll take a little time, but I’ll get it.”

Ben McLemore, 6-5, 185, St. Louis: McLemore had to sit out last season after being deemed a partial qualifier by the NCAA. “Ben should be as good as anybody we’ve ever had at stealing us extra possessions.

I think he’ll be the best defender w e ’ v e ever had. McLemore I also think he’s as athletic as anybody we’ve ever had and he can shoot,” Self said. “Fitting in the pieces and getting him to understand how to play, he’s not quite there obviously.”

McLemore said he loves the incoming recruiting class. “I think the freshmen are great.

All are great athletes, great players they will fit in and play a big role for us,” McLemore said.

“Coming in as freshmen, they show a lot of skill work. They’re coming in strong and really wanting to get out there and play.”

Jamari Traylor, 6-8, 215, Chicago: Traylor is a bruising power forward, who is known as a great rebounder.

He also was ineligible a Traylor year ago.

“Jamari’s raw, raw, raw, but he’s like a shorter version of Thomas (Robinson) when he got

here,” Self said. “He’s maybe more explosive than Thomas. He doesn’t have the physical strength Thomas has, but he is a warrior.”

Evan Manning, 6-3, 170, Lawrence; Tyler Self, 6-2, 165, Lawrence: Manning, a Free State High graduate who went to New Hampton Prep last year, is son of former KU great Danny Manning, who happens to be leading scorer and rebounder in school history. Self, another Firebird, is son of KU coach Bill Self.

“Evan has played well.

Knowing the kid ever since we moved back here (10 years ago) ... he and Tyler have been buddies. They’re great kids. Tyler ... I’m biased.

I think it’ll be so much fun being able to hang out with my son on a daily basis.

T h o s e two are n o t h ing but positive.

N i k o , Manning another coach’s son is also in the program,” he added of junior N i k o Roberts, son of Self KU assistant Norm Roberts. “If anything, if we were able to take an IQ basketball test compared to others out there, hopefully those three would fare very well.”

A look back at Late Night’s colorful history

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

No party pooper, Bill Self has been willing to wear whatever wacky costumes the producers of Late Night in the Phog have presented him the past couple years in Allen Fieldhouse.

Last Oct. 14, Kansas University’s basketball coach, who was decked out in an all-black leather jacket and chaps, drove a custom-made motorcycle onto James Naismith court for the 2011-12 season-opening basketball proceedings. This was one mid-October removed from Self’s dressing in gold from head to toe as “Vanilla Ice.” “What’s happening, Jayhawks?” Self bellowed to 16,300 cheering fans, revving the motor of the bike to ear-splitting levels.

What was happening, of course, was the start of the men’s hoops portion of the 27th-annual Late Night, the official opening of the season amid a pre-Halloween party-like atmosphere.

“Just so you know, I did not pick this outfit out. I am not a wannabee member of the Village People,” Self said, noting it was the first time he’d ridden a motorbike since a “Suzuki 50” in the third grade.

“A Suzuki 50 is this high,” Self added, placing his hand near his knees in explanation.

Prior to a scrimmage, which was highlighted

by Tyshawn Taylor’s 17 points and Travis Releford’s 16, there was a surprise appearance by actor Rob Riggle, a KU grad who served as a judge in a boxing match between former KU staff member Barry Hinson and KU fan “Vicious” Victor Ortiz.

“Protect yourself at all times,” Riggle jokingly warned Ortiz before the fight, referring to Victor’s being surprised by a knockout punch by Floyd Mayweather in last year’s title fight.

Ortiz, of course, won by knockout in a fake fight in which he was assisted by corner men Self, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry. KU’s current players stood in Hinson’s corner.

The former director of basketball operations is now head coach at Southern Illinois University.

“I feel I was unstoppable the whole time. I walked away with the victory Rock Chalk-style, baby,” Ortiz said.

Aldrich of the Oklahoma City Thunder reflected recently to the Journal-World that he “had a blast. Because of the (NBA) lockout it was great to have an opportunity to come to Late Night and be part of it again, this time with Victor Ortiz. Unfortunately I won’t make it this year but these guys will have a blast again. It’s going to be another great Late Night,” Aldrich added.

Here’s a look at Late Night throughout history. ...

TOP RIGHT: FORMER JAYHAWK SCOT POLLARD shows up dressed in drag and proposes to girlfriend Mindy Camp during Late Night in 1996.

BOTTOM RIGHT: FORMER KU CENTER NICK COLLISON plays ex-Texas Tech coach Bob Knight in an “American Idol” skit during Late Night in 2002.

2010

Self’s solid-gold outfit, in his words “a takeoff on cheap silk,” arguably drew the most laughs of a three-hour show that concluded with a scrimmage highlighted by Marcus Morris’ 14 points and eight rebounds and Taylor’s nine points and two assists.

Self’s job as Vanilla Ice was to introduce KU’s mimickers of “New Edition” — that is Thomas Robinson, Elijah Johnson, the Morris twins and Travis Releford.

Emcee was former KU and NBA power forward Scot Pollard, who showed up wearing a tuxedo, white shirt and bow tie. Pollard ripped off his coat and tore open his shirt, revealing a black fake-tuxedo shirt.

2009

The 25th-annual Late Night included KU one-and-done player Xavier Henry making his hoops debut and dance debut. He wore a huge afro wig during a number. An allstar cast of recruits watched the action, including Royce Woolridge, Josh Selby, Josiah Turner, Doron Lamb and Harrison Barnes. Mario Little may have been the bestdressed Jayhawk in a number with slick black slacks, a bright red shirt and suspenders. Jeff Withey wore old short-shorts in a 1988 skit.

2008

KU unveiled its national championship banner to the delight of the fans. The thunderous ovation during the banner presentation had to be one of the loudest moments in fieldhouse lore.

2007

Players were driven to the fieldhouse in a Corvette, Infiniti, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, BMW, Hummer, Avalanche and stretch limousine onto a Red Carpet for interviews with “Survivor” winner and KU grad Danni Boatwright.

2006

The junior class of Jeremy Case, Sasha Kaun, C.J. Giles, Darnell Jackson, Russell Robinson and Rodrick Stewart “waltzed” their way to an American Idol dance competition victory over the Jayhawk sophomores, who “tangoed,” and freshmen, who twirled to the “swing” in front of judges Self, Danny Manning and Aaron Miles.

“I don’t know if dancing can be a highlight, but I think the guys actually did a pretty good job dancing with the young ladies,” cracked KU coach Self, not enthralled with the squad’s 20-minute intrasquad scrim-

mage won by the Blue team, 26-23.

“The waltz, the jitterbug, the tango. We just try to educate our guys. You get the full cultural experience at Kansas,” Self added.

2005

For the first time ever, the festivities started at 6:30 p.m. instead of 10 or so according to new NCAA rules.

2004

Tuxedo-clad seniors Keith Langford, Michael Lee, Miles and Wayne Simien bowed their heads reverently while grasping KU’s 1988 nationalchampionship trophy at the conclusion of a dramatic skit.

“It wasn’t like it was a fun thing. It (skit) was a serious matter,” KU senior guard Miles said of the Fab Foursome answering a series of questions from 1988 title winners Manning and Mike Maddox before being allowed to touch the trophy.

The Jayhawks hoped it’d be a sign of things to come, another national title. Didn’t work out as planned.

2003

Bil Self’s first Late Night took on the name, “Late Night in the Phog.”

Self received a thunderous ovation after a showing of a highlight video of the coach’s introductory press conference.

“I have been in some loud places,” former Illinois coach Self said, “but that place got pretty loud there for a bit.

That was a little bit overwhelming.”

The fans also rocked the building when the 1988 title team, led by coach Larry Brown, was introduced.

2002

KU seniors Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich stole the “Mardi Gras”-themed show, Collison playing volatile Texas Tech coach Bob Knight in one skit and Hinrich portraying Missouri coach Quin Snyder in another.

“It was the most fun I had in my four years,” Collison said.

2001

Freshmen Simien, Lee, Miles, and Jeff Hawkins serenaded their mothers in a song and dance that coach Roy Williams didn’t enjoy.

Williams said he couldn’t hear anything because of a faulty fieldhouse sound system.

Late Night had a patriotic theme coming a month after the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001. The sound system was improved by the next October, by the way.

2000

Drew Gooden sat in a canoe with John Crider as the canoe was pulley-ed across the fieldhouse floor. Jeff Carey, who showed with a wavy head of hair instead of his trademark crewcut, had teammates shave his head under the south goal.

The canoe bit was funny, but took longer than expected to shave Carey’s moptop.

1999

Big men Eric Chenowith and Carey played electric guitar as Collison sang vocals for the Limp Bizkit song, “Faith.”

They were joined by a drummer in the KU band.

1998

The theme was “Night at the Naismiths” — an awards show in which guest judges rated acts and presented not an Oscar, but a “Naismith’’ to the winners.

Ever-athletic Kenny Gregory rammed several windmill dunks during a warmup drill.

The show may have been a bit corny, but nobody told that to KU coach Williams, protective of his Late Night skits.

1997

A transfer from LSU, Lester Earl wore a black leather jacket in a spoof of 1950s music.

Earl had some vicious dunks, as did Gregory and Paul Pierce in a pre-scrimmage dunkathon. Also, Ryan Robertson had a big role in a skit as host of the game show, “The Price Is Right.”

1996

Pollard became the first basketball player in KU history to score 14 points, grab seven rebounds and block four shots while wearing bright red polish on all 10 fingernails.

“Revlon Vixen” was the eccentric player’s color of choice.

That’s the night Pollard proposed marriage to his girlfriend, who accepted, by the way.

1995

Fans showed early for the Saturday night event which started when former KU football coach Glen Mason took the court and yelled, “Live from Allen Fieldhouse, it’s Late Night With Roy Williams.”

Now a color analyst for the Big Ten network, Mason has said one of his favorite moments at KU involved the reception he received at that Late Night. Earlier that day KU had won a football game during a 10-2 season.

1994

Baseball Hall of Famer George Brett and golfing great Tom

Watson joined ex-Royals’ center fielder Brian McRae and ex-KC Chief defensive back Deron Cherry as honorary coaches.

Brett and Watson appeared to have a blast, not minding the late hour. It’s the only year guest coaches were used.

1993

Fans dressed as their favorite TV sitcom characters before the scrimmage. The Lone Ranger, Silver, Tonto, Gilligan’s Ginger and Granny Clampett all were on hand. This Late Night marked the debut of freshmen Jacque Vaughn, Pollard, B.J. Williams and Nick Proud, as well as Cal transfer Jerod Haase. Proud didn’t last long at KU, but the other guys were part of many victories.

1992

Nobody has had more fun at Late Night than 7-foot-2 giant Greg Ostertag, who showed up in a Frankenstein monster outfit. Roy Williams’ entrance was followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new fieldhouse floor. Even though Late Night was televised, the TV show drew poor reviews.

1991

Williams decided Late Night would be better suited on a Friday night, not Monday, the first day KU could practice in accordance with NCAA rules.

Controversial move at the time, but a smart one, made so he could bring recruits to town for the made-for-recruiting event.

The fans responded, packing the building. The announced attendance was 15,800. Prescrimmage hoopla was highlighted by freshman center Ostertag, who lip-synched a Garth Brooks tune.

1990

More than 13,000 fans showed to see the Jayhawks dance and scrimmage after a long Sunday of pro football, including a Chiefs’ home game against Detroit. During the scrimmage, current San Francisco coach Rex Walters scored 16 points and amazed the crowd with some violent dunks.

1989

A $5 admission fee was charged to pay for two bands, who performed on a massive sound stage. Maddox, Rick Calloway, Freeman West and Jeff Gueldner lip-synched the song, “Simply Irresistable,” which was big-time funny because of a truly huge sound stage in the north end zone.

A lot of fans came to see the bands evidenced by the smell of marijuana during the concert portion of the show.

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL COACH BONNIE HENRICKSON BREAKS IT DOWN with Monica Engelman, CeCe Harper and Carolyn Davis during a Late Night in the Phog skit in this file photo from Oct. 14, 2011.

“Hungry,” she said of the word that best captures this team. “Very hungry to get out there and get it started. We’ve been talking about how we cannot wait for our first game. And I’ve never been on a team that’s so ready for practice to start.

It’s awesome.”

Leading returning scorer Carolyn Davis (16.9 points, 5.7 rebounds per game), sidelined by a torn ACL, did not play during the Sweet 16 run but is back practicing. Senior wing Monica Engelman, according to teammates and coach Bonnie Henrickson, is back to her old self after going through a funk during which she appeared to lose weight, her shooting touch and her

I’ve never been on a team that’s so ready for practice to start.

It’s awesome.”

— Kansas University point guard Angel Goodrich passion for the game in the middle of her junior season.

“This is my senior year,” Engelman said. “I don’t have time for that this year.”

Sophomore post player Chelsea Gardner (averaged 13 points, 11 rebounds in NCAA Tournament) will play alongside Davis after exceeding expectations playing in her place.

Sophomore guard Natalie Knight started all 34 games and averaged 5.9 points. Sophomore Asia Boyd, ninth-year coach Henrickson’s highest-rated recruit, averaged just

Suffice it to say, admission was never charged again and no bands besides the KU pep band, ever played at Late Night again.

1988

Williams’ first Late Night — it was called “Later With Roy Williams” — drew 10,000 fans. Alonzo Jamison brought down the backboard on a prescrimmage dunk, thrilling the attendees, but delaying the proceedings. After the new goal was in place, Milt Newton led the Blue team to a 36-35 victory as he scored 16 points.

Amazingly, Williams, a rookie coach in ‘88, became a Hall of Fame inductee less than 20 years later.

1987

Current Tulsa head coach Manning and teammate Scooter Barry sang The Temptations’ song: “My Girl.” The normally reserved Manning was willing to grab center stage prior to his senior season.

KU went on to win the national title.

1986

“Late Night With Larry Brown” became a major happening in 1986, thanks in large part to its namesake, Late Night With David Letterman.

One-time Letterman foil Larry Bud Melman visited Lawrence for the early Wednesday morning scrimmage, first signing autographs at 7 p.m. at the Burge Union.

1985

KU’s inaugural “Late Night With Larry Brown” was not a big deal.

It attracted 6,000 fans.

“It was fabulous. I was thrilled with the students,” Brown said of the fans who showed at 12:01 on a Tuesday morning.

Many of the students wore T-shirts that read, “Late Night With Larry Brown. Starring the 1985-86 Kansas basketball team … all the way to Dallas.”

That KU team, prophetically, did reach the Final Four in Dallas. Current Jayhawk coach Self was a grad assistant on that team.

“We had a guy named Jerry Johnson on that team,” Self said of the 6-foot-7 freshman from Omaha, Neb. “The seniors, who were led by Calvin (Thompson), told Jerry Johnson they wanted him to lead us out on the court for Late Night. Everybody was all excited, jumping around. When it was time to go out there, he runs out full speed and nobody else is with him. He was the only guy on the court. It was a little joke on the freshman.”

10 minutes in 18 games as a freshman, but Goodrich indicated she has improved a great deal.

“I feel that she can become a really great player,” Goodrich said. “She’s already a great player.

She’s grown her game by being more confident and pushing the ball.

When I go, she runs more than she used to. Seeing her grow has really just changed who she is and how she sees herself as a player on the court. She’s really aggressive. She can get inside, use her body to take contact. She’s a great finisher when she goes in and she has some range too.”

It’s Goodrich’s job to bring out the best in the everyone on the roster.

Her coach thinks she is up to the challenge.

“How good is she?”

Henrickson asked, rhetorically. “How good is she?”

MLB PLAYOFFS

Giants eliminate Reds ————

Tigers advance with victory over Athletics The Associated Press

National League Giants 6, Reds 4 CINCINNATI — Buster Posey insisted all along — even after San Francisco lost the first two at home — that his team was far from done, no matter how long the odds.

Turns out, he was right.

And the NL batting champion had a lot to do with this most Giant comeback.

Posey hit the third grand slam in Giants postseason history on Thursday, and San Francisco pulled off an unprecedented revival, moving into the championship series with a 6-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

They’ll play either Washington or St. Louis for the NL pennant starting Sunday.

“We could go up against anybody at any time,” shortstop Brandon Crawford said. “Being down 2-0 and coming back and winning three at their place, it’s an unbelievable feeling.”

The Giants became only the eighth team to win a five-game playoff series after falling behind 2-0.

Major League Baseball’s changed playoff format this season allowed them to become the first to take a best-of-five by winning the last three on the road.

With one swing, Posey made it possible.

“I don’t think anybody gave up,” he said.

Posey’s second career grand slam off Mat Latos put the Giants up 6-0 in the fifth and sparked a joyous scrum in the San Francisco dugout. The ball smacked off the front of the upper deck in left field, just above Latos’ name on the video board.

SAN FRANCISCO’S BUSTER POSEY CONNECTS for a grand slam against Cincinnati. The Giants defeated the Reds, 6-4, on Thursday in Cincinnati to win the NL division series, 3-2.

Nationals 2, Cardinals 1 WASHINGTON — Jayson Werth led off the bottom of the ninth inning by driving Lance Lynn’s 13th pitch into the left-field stands to give the Nationals a victory over defending World Series champion St. Louis and force a Game 5 in their NL division series.

As he circled the bases, Werth raised his right index finger in a “No. 1” gesture, while the announced crowd of 44,392 roared with delight. The other Nationals raced out of the dugout to greet Werth, who tossed his red batting helmet high in the air before jumping on home plate and being enveloped by a bouncing collection of thrilled teammates.

The best-of-five series will end tonight in Washington, with the winner advancing to face the San Francisco Giants in the NL championship series.

The homer was Werth’s first with the Nationals but 14th of his career in the postseason.

Verlander struck out 11 in a four-hitter, pitching Detroit into a second straight AL championship series a day after Jose Valverde failed to hold a ninth-inning lead with a win against Oakland in the decisive Game 5 of their division series. Verlander tossed his first career postseason shutout.

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

50 Maritime distress call

Dear Annie: I am 29 and have been a teacher in a small town for seven years. During this time, I have had two serious relationships, but neither worked out.

Recently, my mother has been on me about moving so I can find someone to marry and have kids. I understand that she doesn’t want me to be alone, but, Annie, I have wonderful friends here. Some are as close as family.

Right now, I am OK with being single, but I know that I have a tendency to resist change.

My mother thinks I will be alone for the rest of my life and regret it. I told her I would consider moving, but I really don’t want to leave this place.

What should I do? My mother is so upset that it makes me stressed. — All Talked Out Dear Talked Out: How important is it to you (not your mother) to be mar-

ried? Not everyone needs a life partner to lead a happy, fulfilling life. Raising children is an entirely separate issue and could involve adoption or fostering. And many teachers consider their students the only “children” they need.

It is difficult to meet prospective marriage partners in areas where the dating pool is small.

Even online matchmaking might require relocating. If you can be happy without marriage, tell your mother the subject is closed. But if you are

‘Dog with a Blog’ debuts A good or catchy title can’t redeem a bad show, movie or book.

But it can get your attention.

Sometimes an uninspired title, like that of NBC’s new drama “Chicago Fire,” is an indication of a less-than-memorable viewing experience. Other times a bad or outrageous title is the only thing you remember about a terrible show. The 1996 UPN comedy “Homeboys in Outer Space” was cancelled 15 years ago, but the ridiculous title still makes me laugh.

In this spirit, let’s consider the new comedy “Dog With a Blog” (8:40 p.m., Disney) premiering tonight, before rejoining the schedule on Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. ‘‘Dog” concerns two grating stepsiblings, goody two-shoes Avery (G. Hannelius) and her dim, would-be “player” stepbrother, Tyler (Blake Michael). She’s loud, bossy and precocious; he’s an amalgam of every stoner/slacker/skater cliche ever broadcast. They bicker constantly until Tyler’s dad and Avery’s stepdad, Bennett (Regan Burns), gets them a dog, Stan, who happens to talk and blog.

Bennett’s a pompous psychologist and published author. Everybody sees through him, including his wife of one year, Ellen (Beth Littleford), and Stan.

No program aimed at 8-yearolds needs to explain why a dog can think, talk and blog. And wisely, “Dog” doesn’t try. We do get some cartoony flashbacks to previous owners who were driven to extremes by their experiences listening to Stan. And who wouldn’t? As voiced by Stephen Full, Stan’s an annoying, wisecracking machine. Avery’s shrill precocity, the dog’s Henny Youngmanisms and a loud laugh track should drive every adult from the room. But kids of any age should find this hard to resist.

Tonight’s other highlights O Even a model finds her sudden weight loss extreme on “Monsters Inside Me” (7 p.m., Animal Planet).

O Photo evidence doesn’t lie on “CSI: NY” (7 p.m., CBS).

O A young man returns from a desert island with special powers and new responsibilities on the pilot episode of “Arrow” (7p.m., CW).

O Olivia Holt stars in the 2012 made-for-television musical “Girl vs. Monster” (7 p.m., Disney).

O On two episodes of “Grimm” (NBC), Angelina arrives (7 p.m.), a madman on the loose (8 p.m.).

O Forest creatures keep tabs on human activity on “Fringe” (8 p.m., Fox).

simply too frightened to get out of your comfort zone, please work on it, with counseling if necessary. You shouldn’t have major regrets down the road.

Dear Annie: I am 37 and have a rich life with wonderful friendships and a great career. But I am deeply hurt that my sister has never expressed an interest in being a part of my life.

She takes things too seriously, often holds grudges over minor criticisms, and assumes the role of victim when anything hurts her feelings, which is often.

I am returning to my hometown after living abroad for a year, and I wrote about seeing my sister and her husband.

My brother-in-law responded (my sister rarely does), but his interest seemed half-hearted, and he made all kinds of excuses about stress from work and not really being

able to do much but rest on the weekends.

My sister has never once visited me in all the cities I’ve lived in. She rarely inquires about my life. I am fun-loving and happy. It hurts that she continually rejects me.

I have talked to her about it, and she always says she’ll be in closer contact, but it never happens. Do I need to let this relationship go? — Wish I Had a Sister Dear Wish: Your sister is oversensitive and finds it difficult to be closer, but she is not toxic, and we don’t believe she is trying to hurt you. She could actually be jealous of the life you are leading. She seems incapable of the warmth you want, but you apparently have many friends who fill that need. You don’t have to cut her off. You need to adjust your expectations.

Please accept your sister’s limitations and reconnect in small doses.

THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY MEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM POSES for the cameras during its annual media day on Thursday at Allen Fieldhouse.

Peters injured; KU 1st in poll

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman basketball forward Zach Peters will be out four to six weeks because of a left shoulder injury, KU coach Bill Self reported at Thursday’s Media Day in Allen Fieldhouse.

Peters, a 6-foot-9 freshman out of Plano, Texas, has a rotator cuff injury that will not require surgery.

“He will be held out of all contact,” Self said. “We are hopeful that he’ll be back on the practice court sooner rather than later. Zach will still be participating in other team activities. It’s been a nagging injury that has been bothering him over time that has affected his ability to play on the court. We feel he should make a full recovery with time and rehab.”

Self indicated that he truly has no idea when Peters will return. KU’s first big game is against Michigan State on Nov. 13 following two exhibitions and the Nov. 9 opener versus game SE Missouri State.

“This deal has me all confused on Zach. He’s doing so good, but he complained of shoulder problems. He can’t rebound.

He can’t do this. He can’t do that,” Self said. “We tried giving him time off; it didn’t work. We tried rehabbing and it hasn’t worked. One thing about Zach is he’s going to play a certain way. He won’t be able to help us over time if he keeps injuring himself.

He needs to be healthy.

We’re going to give him some time. I don’t know how long it’ll be. I am

KANSAS SENIORS KEVIN YOUNG, LEFT, and Travis Releford, joke around during Thursday’s media day. hopeful not long. Time and rehab based on what I’ve been told from our medical staff should take care of it. But it may be an extended period of time.

We definitely don’t want to go the surgical route.

He’d be out for the season. Hopefully ... I don’t want to put too much of a guesstimate on it, but we’re probably looking at four to six weeks, which would put him way behind, but we’d have him ready to go by conference play if it lines up right.”

As far as a possible redshirt season, Self said: “I won’t make that decision now. He was one of our better players in Europe. I do think we need him, but it’ll give some other guys some opportunities too. So you don’t know how that’ll play out when he comes back. If he’s far behind, maybe that’s a possibility.

I’m not even thinking that far ahead. To me I’m looking at it like he’s got a high ankle sprain and will be out four to six weeks.”

O First in poll: KU is the unanimous pick to win its ninth consecutive Big 12 regular-season conference title, according to the pre-

South & Associates, P.C. Brian R. Hazel (KS # 21804) You are notified that a Peti-

season coaches poll that was released Thursday.

KU (81 points) garnered all nine first-place votes, as coaches were not allowed to vote for their own teams. It’s the 11th time in Big 12 history that KU has been at least tied for first in the poll. Baylor (63 points) was accorded KU coach Bill Self’s first-place vote and placed second, its highest finish ever in the preseason poll. Oklahoma State (60), Texas (58) and Kansas State (54) were next in the predictions, followed by West Virginia (45), Oklahoma (34), Iowa State (28), Texas Tech (18) and TCU (9).

“I was probably more surprised with us being picked first this year than I was us in the past. We lost three of our top six and two of them were pretty good,” Self said of NBA players Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson.

“Those two guys combined for 36-plus points a game in league play. I mean, they scored half our points. So we lost a lot and everybody is going to have a new role, but I do think we have a chance to be good by the end. But our league will be good and

Baylor’s loaded and I think that Oklahoma State in my opinion may be the sleeper team of them all. I love their talent level and their roster, but it is going to be a really good league. KState to me, they returned really good players and two real good players and Texas — what was Texas fifth and West Virginia sixth? — and these are really good teams. Then there are other teams that will be much improved. I think that was a little high for us, but hey, we will welcome it and our guys will take pride in that.”

O This, that: Evan Manning, who missed about a month with a severely sprained ankle, said he should be able to play in tonight’s Late Night in the Phog scrimmage. Ben McLemore, who suffered a hip flexor injury in August and played sparingly during two of KU’s four games in Switzerland and France, said he’s close to 100 percent. He said he hoped to be able to ram a dunk or two for the fans at Late Night.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m., today, with the show to begin at 6:30 p.m. ... High school junior prospects to attend Late Night: Clayton Custer, a 6-0 point guard from Blue Valley Northwest, ranked No. 100 by Rivals. com; Lourawls Nairn, a 5-9 guard from Sunrise Christian Academy in Wichita ranked No. 79 and Elbert Robinson, a 6-10 forward from Lakeview Centennial in Garland, Texas ranked No. 43. ... James Young, a 6-6 senior from Rochester, Mich., on Thursday orally committed to Kentucky over KU, Syracuse and Michigan State.

have — I don’t want to say more fun — but I get to set the speed. Last year we played at Tyshawn’s speed, whatever that had to be. Sometimes he was downcourt before everybody. I’m setting the speed (now). I like that the most.”

Johnson said he’s planning on letting his true personality flow freely his senior campaign.

“Not to say I’m this fancy, flashy basketball player, but last year I did everything how it’s supposed to be done — out of the book,” Johnson said.

“I didn’t add an ‘Elijah Johnson flavor’ to it. I just did what I’m supposed to do, but this year ... I plan to have a little more fun because you’ve definitely got to rile some of these people up.

“There’s a little more freedom that comes with the years. I don’t think coach will have a problem with me being comfortable out there doing what I do as long as it’s beneficial.”

Coach Bill Self said Johnson has earned his trust.

“It is one of those things that I am going to hold Elijah responsible for how the freshmen perform. If he wants to be a leader, he is going to have to make sure those guys’ heads are right to give us the best chance,” Self said.

Johnson has already wrapped his arms around the Jayhawk newcomers: Case in point, Boot Camp, when the players were exhausted after running sprint after sprint, day after day for a two-week period.

“One day we were running and Landen (Lucas, frosh center) ... he wasn’t about to break, but it was getting to him. Everybody was trying to motivate him saying, ‘C’mon, c’mon.’ I said ‘Leave him alone.’ I looked at him (Lucas) and said, ‘You’ve got it.’ He finished it. The tiredness just left. That’s what people need to hear sometimes, when you feel the whole world is against you.

“I feel Landen would do anything in the world for me. I’m not saying I did it for that reason, but that’s how it works. I’ve done that with a lot of people.

There’s still some people I haven’t had a chance to get to. I let them know, ‘I’m personally here for you. You want that lob, I’ll

— KU coach Bill Self on senior point guard Elijah Johnson throw it to you. You want a backscreen, I’ll set it for you.’ It’s a mutual thing. I don’t want people to think it’s all about the seniors or one person in the starting five. It’s about people on the bench, too.”

Freshman Ben McLemore and Rio Adams said Johnson has already proven himself worthy of being starting point guard on a Big 12 and national title contender.

“He’s great, one of the best point guards I’ve ever seen — a great person on and off the court,” McLemore said.

“He is a leader on and off the court. It’s all we need from him. He’s keeping us focused,” Adams stated.

Johnson said he learned a lot from his buddy Taylor, who like Johnson, enjoyed talking to the media.

There is one difference between the two, however.

Taylor liked to express himself on Twitter; Johnson not so much.

“I’m not big with social networking,” Johnson said. “I feel you should think about things rather than just stating an opinion for a few seconds that might change tomorrow. I stay off all the social networking. I get on and I read because it’s definitely interesting. I choose to not really share too many thoughts on there.”

Self believes fans will be tweeting a lot of positive comments about the Jayhawks’ new, starting lead guard this season.

“We are going to rely on keeping the ball in Elijah’s hands probably more so than we even did last year with Ty (Taylor),” said Self, who said he hopes Naadir Tharpe and Rio Adams are capable backups. “The thing about Tyshawn last year, he had the ball in his hands at game point for important possessions most of the time, but Elijah could take pressure off of him.

This year we are going to have to do a good job of developing some other guys and getting Travis (Releford) and Ben more comfortable with the ball in their hands and basically being smart on how we play Elijah and rest him to make sure he is fresh going down the stretch.”

LEDs Aren’t Cheap: Here’s How to Get the Most for Your Money Lightbulbs are no longer a no-brainer. So here’s your strategy for buying and using LEDs. Article from HouseLogic.com By: Karin Beuerlein

The inefficient lightbulb phaseout has begun, and CFLs aren’t your only alternative.

There’s another mainstream option: LEDs, if you’re willing to pay the price.

per bulb. So â&#x20AC;Ś

1.

Buy LEDs slowly over time. With the average householdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roughly A=193BA B6/B A L in lightbulbs! But prices will drop now that the inefficient incandescent is restricted and competition increases among LED manufacturers. How fast theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drop is a AC0831B =4 230/B3 P A=;3 3F>3@BA >@=831B / >@713 @32C1B7=< =D3@ B63 <3FB J D3 G3/@A 0CB =B63@A B67<9 E3 :: A33 / 231@3/A3 0G B63 3<2 =4

2.

Buy LEDs when the price drops below three times that of a comparable CFL since they last three times as long. =@ 3F/;>:3 # @3K 31B=@ :/;>A P B63 K /B B=>>32 0C:0A G=C >CB 7< K ==2:756BA =@ @313AA32 J FBC@3A P BG>71/::G 1=AB /@=C<2 A= :==9 4=@ >@713A 03:=E 4=@ A7;7:/@ # A I!< +3@;=<B E63@3 ! :7D3 ! 4=C<2 # @3B@=J BA 4=@ @313AA32 J FBC@3A 4=@ N A/GA 'CAA #3A:73 associate director of the independent #756B7<5 '3A3/@16 3<B3@ 7< )@=G % .

4.

Replace high-wattage and frequently used incandescent bulbs with LEDs in: Recessed (can) lighting. Start here.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your lightbulb strategy? Do you use a combo of LEDs and CFLs, or hoard incandescents while certain wattages are still available?
