Group urges city to make headway on rec center

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence city commissioners are moving closer to a $15 million decision on a new recreation center, thanks in part to a friendly press applied by Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self.

Self

City commissioners on Tuesday tentatively agreed to discuss at their Nov. 8 meeting whether to begin moving forward on a new recreation center for west Lawrence. The new timeline comes after Self’s Assists Foundation sent a letter to city officials indicating that the

foundation’s plans to donate $1 million to the project would no longer be moving forward unless the city showed new signs of seriousness about the project.

City commissioners responded with some urgency, almost like a Jayhawk team coming out of a timeout.

“We’re going to have to come up with some answers on what we’re willing to spend on a recreation center,” said Mayor Aron Cromwell. “I think we’re going to have to figure out what we’re going to do here in the next couple of weeks.”

Water tower demolition provokes fears “

THE OWNER OF THIS WATER TOWER, which stands south of U.S. Highway 40 off East 50 Road near Big Springs wants to tear the structure down. Residents of the mobile home are concerned about the safety of the endeavor, considering the tower’s proximity to the home.

In the early 1990s, the Columbia Chamber of Commerce launched a “2000 by 2000” campaign. The goal was to attract 2,000 more retirees to Columbia by the year 2000 than the U.S. Census had predicted would be living there.

For 29,493 daily users of the Kansas Turnpike, this evening promises to mark the first time in more than 40 months — or 1,238 days, or 29,699 hours, or 1,781,940 minutes — that all lanes and all ramps will be open to all traffic heading through all of Lawrence.

And not a second too soon.

“We’re excited to have it done,” said Rex Fleming, turnpike project engineer who has been managing reconstruction and replacement projects in Lawrence since 2008. “With our customers, they’ve had to drive through construction for over three years. We know that’s an inconvenience.

“Now it’s time to tell everybody it’s over. It’s done. Come and enjoy the wide-open space.”

Two projects are set to be substantially complete as of this evening:

Replacement of original turnpike pavement east of Lawrence, extending east and west of the Lawrence Service Area. The project had limited traffic to one lane in each direction during summer 2010 and since early this past summer. All lanes will be open as of this evening, Fleming said.

Replacement of Kansas River bridges, plus upgraded interchanges and other changes along the turnpike as it passes through Lawrence. The project that began 8 a.m. June 6, 2008, finally had all six lanes open in both directions for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

Both jobs overhauled infrastructure that had been in place since the turnpike’s earliest days, after officials had broken ground along the banks of the Kansas River back on Dec. 31, 1954: The river bridges were built as part of the original turnpike, and a five-mile stretch of lanes east of Lawrence were the last to have their original pavement replaced.

Taken together, the two projects cost more than the $140 million that was spent back in the 1950s to build the entire 236-mile-long turnpike.

Smith, manager of the water district. According to Smith and others, Howbert bought the 50,000-gallon water tank with the intention of selling its metal for salvage.

But Smith said the water district’s board did not inquire how Howbert planned to remove the tower.

Residents near the tower,

though, soon found out and became concerned. Darwin Heyd, who lives across the road from the tower, said he had heard Howbert planned to cut one of the four legs off the tower and use a cable and bulldozer to pull it over.

“Their plan sounded like a bunch of good-old boys decided to pull a water tower down with a pickup truck,” Heyd said.

Keith Dabney, director of Douglas County Zoning and Codes, confirmed that Howbert’s plan basically was to pull the tower over.

Kansas transportation secretary to step down

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas’ top transportation official is leaving her job in December to take a position with a national transportation planning and policy group, Gov. Sam Brownback’s office announced Tuesday.

Secretary Deb Miller is the first woman to lead the Kansas Department of Transportation and was the only Cabinet holdover from past Democratic administrations after Brownback, a Republican, took office in January.

Miller has been transportation secretary since 2003.

Her last day will be Dec. 16.

Miller is joining Cambridge Systematics Inc., headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., as a senior associate but will continue to live in

think a $15 million recreation center/fieldhouse project could fit into the city’s nearterm debt plans. Next steps could involve seeking proposals from architects to develop specific plans for a facility and to receive proposals from fundraisers who could help solicit funding from private donors as well.

A representative from Self’s Assist Foundation assured commissioners that the foundation’s letter wasn’t meant as a sign that the foundation’s enthusiasm for the project had cooled. Miles Schnaer, a local auto dealer and member of the foundation’s board, said Self was very interested in following through on the foundation’s informal pledge of $1 million. He said Self also wants to lend his name and time to help raise additional funds from the public at large.

“We’re ready to do something, and this project meets so many goals of the foundation,” Schnaer said. “We just want to know that the city is committed to it. If the city is not committed to it, we would move on. But if the city is committed to it, we will do what we have committed to do.”

Now the ball is in the city’s court. All five commissioners

haven’t approved anything like that,” Dabney said. “We absolutely would have concerns about that.”

Dabney said his office placed a stop work order on the property after learning that Howbert planned to tear the tower down without a demolition permit. Dabney said that his office will need to receive proof that Howbert has at least $1 million in general liability insurance and that an engineer has reviewed his plans for dismantling the tower. Dabney also said that Howbert would need to provide more details about what he plans to do with the tower once it is torn down. Dabney said Howbert previously had said he planned to cut the tower up and take it to his Shawnee County home. Dabney said that likely would be in violation of Shawnee County zoning regulations.

Attempts to reach Howbert for comment were unsuccessful. But Howbert’s brother, Shane Howbert, called the Journal-World and

Topeka. The company says on its website that it provides consulting services to private companies, state governments, offices of the U.S. Department of Transportation and international agencies.

“I had to debate on it for a very long time because I really and sincerely love what I’m doing and am nowhere near tired of this job,” Miller told The Associated Press. “It hasn’t run its course for me, but I also think it’d be a great opportunity to do something new.”

Miller will be leaving almost 18 months after legislators enacted a 10-year, $8 billion program of road, bridge, rail and aviation improvements. She called it one of the biggest accomplishments of her tenure and said she’s confident the program has had a good launch.

She also said she’ll miss not being secretary when some projects are completed, such as the last stretch of Kansas 10 linking Lawrence to the Kansas City area and a major rail-trucking hub, also in the Kansas City area.

“I would very much have liked to have been on the other end of the shovel when it was time to break ground for the South Lawrence Trafficway,” she said. “I would like to be holding a pair of scissors when it’s time to clip the ribbon at the new intermodal facility.”

Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag said the governor has no time table for naming a permanent replacement. The secretary manages one of the state’s largest agencies, with a current budget of $1.4 billion and 2,900 employees.

were in agreement to bring the issue back up in two weeks, but it was unclear that a majority could support the idea of a multimillion dollar recreation project during this economy.

Commissioners Hugh Carter and Bob Schumm both said they wanted a thorough analysis of what other projects the city might have to put on hold if they were to move forward with a recreation center.

“It is a lot of money in bad economic times,” Schumm said. “And we’re committing a lot of money for a long period of time to a single project for parks and recreation.”

Exactly what a recreation center/fieldhouse project would include would get hashed out in more detail in the future. But members of the city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board told commissioners that a facility should include at least five gyms in order to meet both community needs and to give the city a chance to host regional or national youth basketball tournaments.

Other amenities likely would include an area for cardio and weight training equipment and a walking/ jogging track.

Schnaer said Self was particularly excited about the chance to bring some major youth basketball tournaments to Lawrence.

“His ability to help us bring some high-profile tournaments to town is pretty

unique,” Schnaer said.

Jana Dobbs, chairwoman of the city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, said her research had found that the economic impact of youth basketball and volleyball tournaments could be significant. She cited a study done by Texas A&M professors that found a single 120team youth basketball tournament in College Station, Texas, produced $420,000 in direct spending in the city.

Dobbs said a new Lawrence facility could attract several large tournaments a year.

“I think the type of dollars we’re talking about would represent a pretty good return on our investment,” Dobbs said.

Commissioner Mike Dever expressed some optimism the city would find a way to build a quality center for significantly less than the $15 million estimate put forward by Lawrence architecture firm Gould Evans.

Dever said he had seen recent recreation centers constructed for about $105 per square foot, while the city’s estimates anticipated costs of more than $140 per square foot.

“I don’t think we’re at the point of saying how many gyms we want or anything like that, but we do need to decide whether we’re willing to commit some money to this project,” Dever said.

said he was speaking on his brother’s behalf. Shane Howbert declined to say how the tower would be taken down.

“I’m not going to tell you,” Howbert said. “It is none of your damn business.”

Howbert, though, did say that all the project took was a “little common sense,” and that he was confident that the work could be done without harming the nearby mobile home.

“I haven’t ever dropped one (tower) before, but I’ve been cutting trees all my life, and it is the same principle,” Howbert said.

Howbert said he believes some neighbors in the area are just trying to cause problems for his brother. He said one neighbor in particular is upset to see the water tower torn down because it has the name Big Springs on it, which is one of the few formal references to the unincorporated town.

Some neighbors said they are upset with the board of Rural Water District No. 3 and how it decided to dispose of the tower. But Heyd said those concerns stem from the fact the board did not take formal bids to dispose of the property. Smith,

the water district’s manager, confirmed the board did not formally advertise the tower and land for sale. He said that at least one other individual had expressed an interest in the tower and the land, but the board chose to take an offer from Howbert at their October board meeting because the board wanted to get rid of the liability of owning the unused tower.

“I don’t care if they got $500 for it or $1 for it, as long as they auctioned it off to the highest bidder,” Heyd said.

“If we’re just going to let people pull it down with a pickup truck, there would be lots of people bidding a dollar on it for the land.”

Rosenberger said she also is upset at how the board has handled the situation, but she said her concerns aren’t about the selling price of the tower.

“My concern is that it is going to land on my house,” Rosenberger said. “He plans on pulling it to the east, but if it comes down to the west or the southwest, it is going to crush my home.”

Occupy protesters march in Oakland Under cover of darkness early Tuesday, hundreds of police swept into Oakland’s Occupy Wall Street protest, firing tear gas and beanbag rounds before clearing out an encampment of demonstrators.

In less than an hour, the 2-week-old, miniature makeshift city was in ruins.

Later Tuesday, hundreds of protesters gathered at a library and marched through downtown Oakland.

They were met by police officers in riot gear, and several small skirmishes broke out.

The protesters eventually made their way back to City Hall for a game of cat-and-mouse as dusk approached. Police later threw flash bang canisters and fired more tear gas as the crowd dispersed up the street.

No one was injured during the Tuesday morning raid, Interim Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said.

Lawrence man releases toxic chemical, dies

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

A 20-year-old Lawrence man died at a Wichita hospital after a suicide attempt on Interstate 70 that shut down the westbound lanes of the highway in Riley County overnight on Monday and into Tuesday morning.

According to information from the Kansas Highway Patrol, the man, whom police identified as Jonathan Seuell, had called 911 asking for a suicide hotline just before 10:30 p.m.

Monday. During the call, Riley County dispatchers determined Seuell was on Interstate 70 near Manhattan.

His car was found on the north shoulder of the westbound lanes of I-70 near mile post 318, which is about five miles east of the Kansas Highway 177 exit for Manhattan.

As officers approached the car Seuell was driving, a 1997 Honda Civic, he called dispatchers and asked that the officers stay

back unless they were wearing chemical suits, because chemicals were inside his car.

Riley County Police Capt.

Kurt Moldrup said Seuell had released hydrogen sulfide gas inside the car and stopped talking with officers.

Baby emerges from quake rubble alive After 48 hours, a miracle emerged from the rubble: a 2-week-old baby girl brought out halfnaked but alive from the wreckage of an apartment building toppled by Turkey’s devastating earthquake.

Rescue workers erupted in cheers and applause Tuesday at sight of the infant — and again hours later when her mother and grandmother were pulled out, their survival a ray of joy on an otherwise grim day.

The death toll from Sunday’s 7.2-magnitude quake climbed to at least 459 as desperate survivors fought over aid and blocked aid shipments. A powerful aftershock ignited widespread panic that turned into a prison riot in a nearby provincial city.

With thousands of quake survivors facing a third night out in the open in near-freezing temperatures, Turkey said it would accept international aid offers, even from Israel, with which it has had strained relations.

3 | LIBYA

Gadhafi buried in unmarked grave Moammar Gadhafi, the dictator who ruled Libya for 42 years, was buried early Tuesday in an unmarked grave with only a few people allowed to attend. The modest Islamic ceremony closed the book on the 8-month civil war that ousted him and ended in the gruesome spectacle of people lining up for days to view his decomposing corpse on display in a cold storage unit.

A Gadhafi nephew read a prayer for the dead before Gadhafi’s body — along with those of his son Muatassim and former defense minister Abu Bakr Younis — were handed over for burial, said Ibrahim Beitalmal, a spokesman for the military council in the port city of Misrata.

Libya’s new leaders have said they would not reveal the location of the grave, fearing it could be vandalized or turned into a shrine for die-hard supporters.

4 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

House votes to honor 1st black Marines The nation’s first black Marines received a rare national tribute Tuesday as the House voted to award the Montford Point Marines with the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest civilian honor given by Congress.

History books and Hollywood have chronicled the Army’s Buffalo Soldiers and the Army Air Corps’ Tuskegee Airmen, but the men who integrated the Marines during World War II often have been forgotten. That is starting to change, beginning with the House’s 422-0 vote.

The black Marines received their basic training adjacent to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, where conditions were harsh and the treatment from their fellow Marines could be even harsher.

5 | MEXICO

Hurricane Rina gaining strength Mexican authorities set up emergency shelters and cruise ships shifted course on Tuesday as Hurricane Rina strengthened off the Caribbean coast, following a projected track that has it whirling through Cancun and the resort-filled Mayan Riviera, Mexico’s most popular tourist destination.

Rina’s maximum sustained winds have increased to 110 mph, said the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, making it a Category 2 storm. Forecasters predict it will strengthen as it nears the Mexican coast tonight before rolling over the island of Cozumel, a popular dive spot and cruise-ship port, then along the coast to Cancun.

The area, dotted with Mayan ruins, also includes Playa del Carmen, another popular spot for tourists.

Members of the Occupy Lawrence group packed up their camp in South Park early Tuesday morning after being given an ultimatum by Lawrence police officers, but by Tuesday evening the group was asking City Hall leaders for a new city-owned spot for its around-the-clock protests.

The protesters were given the option by Lawrence police officers early Tuesday to remove their belongings and leave, or be arrested and have their gear confiscated, said Dory Mills, a member of the group.

ficers arrived at the park about 3:55 a.m. and that protesters complied with the request. He said the move by police was not related to several reports of assault in the park last weekend.

Instead, officers were enforcing a city ordinance that bars use of the park from 11:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. Early Saturday, eight members of the group were ticketed for breaking the ordinance.

After packing up early Tuesday morning, they returned to the park when it reopened at 6 a.m.

By 6:30 p.m., several members of the Occupy Lawrence group came to City Hall for the commission’s weekly meeting. Jennifer Christensen, a spokeswoman for the group, asked commissioners to help the group find a place — preferably near downtown — that could accommodate their camp.

Lawrence, KU win basketball signed by Gov. Brownback

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — The city of Manhattan and Kansas State University teamed up to win a $100,000 prize by defeating the city of Lawrence and Kansas University in an energy efficiency challenge.

The Lawrence-KU contingent, however, didn’t walk away empty handed; they won a basketball autographed by Gov. Sam Brownback.

And Douglas County posted a victory as Baldwin City won its regional for $100,000.

The awards were announced in the Take Charge Challenge, a statewide energy-savings contest that involved more than 275,000 Kansans from 16 communities.

Residents and businesses competed to see who could save the most energy. The competition was based on three measurements: energy efficiency audits and completed improvements; switching to energy-efficient light bulbs and programmable thermostats; and community involvement and public education.

Manhattan and Lawrence were paired off in the “university” category.

Lawrence actually saved the most energy, which is why it won the basketball. But based on Please see ENERGY, page 4A

Brownback postponing release of Medicaid plan

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration is delaying the release of its plan for overhauling the Medicaid program in Kansas until next month so that it has the most current state revenue projections possible, his spokeswoman said Tuesday.

State officials, leg- Brownback islative researchers and university economists are scheduled to meet Nov. 4 to draft a new fiscal forecast that will project tax collections and other revenues through June 2013. The state’s current projections go only through June 2012, and Brownback’s spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag noted that the governor and legislators will use the new numbers in budgeting next year.

Administration officials had said they expected to release a

plan by the end of this month for overhauling Medicaid, which covers medical services for the needy, with total annual spending in Kansas approaching $2.8 billion. Brownback has said his goal is to decrease costs while improving services.

Any proposed changes are likely to have budget implications, and Jones-Sontag said administration officials decided they didn’t want to make a plan public before they had up-to-date revenue projections.

“It would be — what is that phrase? — an exercise in futility,” Jones-Sontag told The Associated Press. “The numbers wouldn’t be accurate.”

Brownback also is working on a plan to revise the state’s tax code, with an eye toward reducing or eliminating state individual and corporate income taxes. That plan also was supposed to be released by the end of October, but the administration has pushed back an announcement until after the new fiscal forecast as well.

The administration’s effort to draft a Medicaid plan is led

by Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer, a sur-

geon and former state senator.

Critics have worried Brownback’s administration will try to make it tougher for Kansans to qualify for Medicaid coverage or reduce the payments to doctors, clinics and hospitals that provide services to program participants.

Colyer has said any payment reduction to health care providers is “a last resort” and it wouldn’t be close to the temporary 10 percent reduction in payments ordered by Democratic Gov. Mark Parkinson in 2009 to ease the state’s budget problems. Colyer also has said the plan won’t narrow eligibility requirements to reduce the number of people covered.

The state’s Medicaid program covered about 332,000 people as of September, almost 16 percent more than in September 2010, and the program’s costs have increased 48 percent during the past eight years, stressing the state’s budget. The federal government, which oversees states’ programs and typically provides about 60 percent of the funds, would have to approve some major changes.

Authorities have said 23-year-old Yawai Fan and 22-year-old Zheng Lin died Oct. 20 when items lying on the grate of a floor furnace ignited in their duplex.

Both came to Emporia State from China in the fall semester of 2009. Fan was a

outbursts. Cromwell asked Tuttle to speak only when he was at the public comment lectern and to follow the protocol of limiting his comments to five minutes or less. Tuttle then responded with an obscenity, and then was asked by police officers at the meeting to step into the lobby of City Hall. After about a half-hour, he returned to the commission chambers without incident.

Following these events, members of the group voted to “continue doing whatever we can for the movement,” member Jason Phoenix said, but to no longer camp or spend extended time in South Park. Phoenix said that they tentatively plan on holding their general assemblies at 6 p.m. every evening in the park but that they were also looking at other locations.

should not be camping in city parks. He also told group members that he thought the entire camping issue had taken away from the group’s main message.

“I think this discussion of Occupy Lawrence has turned into a conversation of whether I can camp in a park overnight,” Cromwell said.

“It really has taken over the movement. I think some of the effort you’re spending on this issue should be focused on accomplishing some of the goals that you have.”

Tuesday’s City Commission meeting also included several spirited comments from members of the group. One man, John R. Tuttle III, was briefly asked to leave the commission chambers by police officers after he interrupted the meeting several times with verbal

Because of the toxic, flammable nature of the gas, authorities shut down the westbound lanes of the interstate.

Officers tried to negotiate with Seuell for several hours, but he wouldn’t talk with officers, Moldrup said. A robot ultimately was used to survey the car, and found Seuell inside and unresponsive.

Officers in chemical suits approached the car and removed the man. After he was decontaminated, Seuell was taken to Mercy Regional Hospital in Manhattan before being life-flighted to Wichita, where he died later Tuesday.

The interstate was reopened just after 5:30 a.m.

a per-capita measurement, Manhattan was declared the winner and received the $100,000 check.

Former Manhattan mayor Bruce Snead said they kicked off the challenge Feb. 14 at Bramlage Coliseum before the KU-Kansas State basketball game. K-State won that game, and Snead said that momentum carried forward.

“It really energized us,” he said.

But Snead also congratulated Lawrence for doing a great job.

The Lawrence contingent said the friendly competition was an excellent way to promote energy efficiency.

“This was a great program to get energy conservation front and center,” said Lawrence Mayor Aron Cromwell.

Eileen Horn, sustainability coordinator for Lawrence and Douglas County, said, “This was phenomenal for our community.” She said there were 463 energy audits done in Lawrence, which led to 81 completed projects.

“These people are saving on their utility bills today,” she said.

Horn congratulated Manhattan and K-State, saying their creation of EcoKat, an

Q:

A:

KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Forty years ago R. Crosby Kemper Jr. donated some land in Kansas City’s west bottoms and provided funding for what would become Kemper Arena, named in honor of his father, who had just died.

On Tuesday, Kemper and his son Mariner Kemper were among several people urging the city to tear down the massive building and replace it with a new equestrian and agricultural center that’s better suited to the needs of the American Royal, Kansas City’s premier annual livestock show.

“Let’s stop holding onto the past and living in the past, and let’s build for the future,” SOUND OFF Mariner Kemper, a member If you have a question, call of the American Royal board, 832-7297 or send email to told The Kansas City Star.

American Royal leaders soundoff@ljworld.com. said it makes financial sense to get rid of Kemper Arena, which once was the city’s top venue for sporting events and concerts before the new Sprint Center was built downtown. These days, the arena sees little activity beyond events connected to the American Royal.

Dave Fowler, chairman of the American Royal board, said the city has 34 years left on its 50-year lease with the Royal, which means the city is obligated to keep Kemper up for its events. The city still owes $10 million on a $23 million expansion project in 1997, and there is about $20 million in deferred maintenance needed for the city to fulfill its lease agreement.

Let’s stop holding onto the past and living in the past, and let’s build for the future.”

— Mariner Kemper, a member of the American Royal board Arena is losing about $1 million a year.

The Kempers joined other American Royal board members, city council members and other civic leaders to endorse the idea of tearing the arena down to make room for a 5,000-seat coliseum and facility tailored to year-round livestock and horse shows, in addition to the Royal’s annual barbecue and festival events.

Cost of the new facility is estimated at $70 million, including $50 million in new construction, $10 million for demolition and upgrades to the existing American Royal complex, and $10 million to pay the outstanding Kemper debt.

The Kempers said their foundation would try to raise about $10 million. It’s unclear where the rest of the money would come from.

Mariner Kemper said the arena has outlived its useful life, since the city can’t support two big arenas. Kemper Arena has been losing events since the Sprint Center opened in 2007.

“The Sprint Center is built. It is the city’s arena for concerts and sports,” Kemper said. “Instead of trying to hold on to what we have and this wonderful history, 40 years of history, let’s build for the next 40 or 50 years.”

Kansas City Mayor Sly James said in an emailed statement that while no decision has been made, he is excited about the proposal to replace the arena.

Baby steps most realistic strategy for Obama LOS ANGELES (AP) — The president who ran for office promising sweeping change now finds himself calling for baby steps.

Blocked by congressional Republicans yet determined to show action as he seeks re-election, President Barack Obama has scaled back his ambitions from major initiatives like universal health care, to smaller-bore programs he can do on his own or that are uncontroversial enough for Republicans to go along. Think patent reform, reducing health regulations, or helping with student loans.

Even his jobs bill has been broken into what the president calls “bitesize pieces.”

The new approach, which the W h i t e Obama House is pushing under the slogan “We Can’t Wait,” represents at once a pragmatic shift by an administration with limited tools to fix the dismal economy, and a recognition of political reality when the opposition controls part of Congress and an election year looms.

Obama can’t afford to sit around doing nothing. But circumstances won’t let him do too much. The question is whether what he’s aiming for will be enough — to help the economy, or his own political fortunes.

“I’d amend the bumper sticker to say ‘We can’t wait, but we can’t do much in the meantime,’” said Paul Light, professor of public policy at New York University. “It might be politically effective because it suggests that he’s doing something that Congress isn’t, but in terms of actual impacts on real policy a lot of it is pretty thin.”

The White House counters that Obama is well aware that the steps he’s been pushing are no substitute for legislative action.

But while continuing to pressure Congress to pass portions of his $447 billion jobs package of tax credits and public works spending, the president is determined to do what he can on his own, officials said.

“It would be incorrect to suggest that we are shifting from large-scale to smallscale solutions,” said White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer. “We are pushing aggressively, 24-7, for a very specific, significant, economic package, the American Jobs Act. While we are doing that and while Congress is not acting we’re not waiting around twiddling our thumbs. We’re doing everything in our power to improve the lives of families across this country.”

So on Tuesday, with Obama in California midway through a three-day West Coast swing, the White House rolled out an initiative to challenge community health centers to hire 8,000 veterans over the next three years. Officials said it was aimed at making progress in employing veterans should Congress not make such a push through tax credits, as Obama called for in his jobs bill.

Perry calls for sweeping tax cuts, benefit changes GRAY COURT, S.C. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry proposed dramatic tax and spending changes Tuesday, saying he would let Americans choose between a 20 percent flat tax and the current system, allow private Social Security accounts and slash government spending and regulation.

Perry, seeking to regain the momentum he enjoyed in late August, said his plan would significantly spur economic growth. But analysts from the left and right said he would need draconian federal budget cuts to avoid massive deficits.

In a pitch to conservatives, the Texas governor said his “Cut, Balance and Grow” plan was bolder than what his Republican rivals or President Barack Obama would do. His proposal calls for gradually increasing eligibility ages for Social Security and Medicare and for amending the Constitution to require balanced budgets.

“America is under a crushing burden of debt, and the president simply offers larger deficits and the politics of class division,” Perry said in South Carolina, whose primary will follow early voting in Iowa and New Hampshire. “Others simply offer microwaved plans with warmed-over reforms based on current ingredients.”

After weeks of calling Social Security a “Ponzi scheme,” Perry proposed major changes to the program’s funding and payouts. Benefits would not change for current and soon-to-be retirees. Eventually, however, the eligibility age would rise, and wealthier people would see reduced benefits.

Younger workers could steer some of their Social Security payroll taxes to private investment accounts, an idea President George W. Bush tried and failed to enact in 2005.

The heart of Perry’s plan would reduce or eliminate an array of taxes. He would end taxes on Social Security benefits, estates, dividends and capital gains, which would most help upper-income people. He would lower the corporate income tax rate as well as the personal income

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TEXAS GOV. RICK PERRY holds up his version of the tax form that Americans would fill out as he outlined a broad economic proposal of a flat 20 percent income tax rate during a news conference Tuesday at the Statehouse in Columbia, S.C. tax rate for those who choose his 20 percent flat rate.

The top marginal tax rate on individual income is now 35 percent. It was 70 percent in the 1970s.

Perry’s plan would let people exempt $12,500 of their income, plus $12,500 for each dependent, from taxation. He would keep popular deductions, such as those for mortgage interest, state taxes and charity gifts, for families making less than $500,000 a year.

Herman Cain was the first presidential candidate to propose a flat tax this year. He called for a 9 percent income tax rate — and no deductions for most people — along with a 9 percent sales tax.

By design, Perry’s plan “must lose revenue” for the government, said Kevin Hassett, director of economic policy studies at the right-ofcenter American Enterprise Institute. To avoid higher deficits, Hassett said, the government would have to slash spending in ways not seen since the steep military drawdown after World War II. Perry said federal spending is out of hand, and suggested such cuts are feasible. In the past, deep cuts have proven easier to pitch than to enact, no matter which party controls Congress and the White House.

Perry said his proposed deep cuts in tax rates and regulation

If Americans were allowed to choose between the current system and a 20 percent flat tax, several analysts said, the wealthy would get a big tax cut, and lower-income people would hardly be affected.

The Perry plan “hemorrhages revenue” for the government, said Chuck Marr, an economist at the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. “It’s a massive tax cut for the richest people in the country,” he said. But it would not demand higher taxes from middle- and low-income people, who would stick with the current tax code because they fare better under its progressive structure.

Side benefits There is a growing school of thought that making a city more senior-friendly benefits the entire community. More benches on downtown sidewalks and wider store aisles make the city more livable for mothers with small children and people with disabilities, as well.

“If you’ve got bigger print on signs and lower curbs, that benefits everyone,” said Jean Leonatti, CEO of Central Missouri Area Agency on Aging.

Columbia than ever before.

About 2,000 Columbians hit retirement during the last 10 years.

Oliver said a number of new retirement facilities have opened in response, as well as neighborhoods that are more senior-friendly.

Oliver, 69, and his wife recently moved from a fourlevel home.

“Older people want smaller homes. They want one level. They want wide corridors and no steps. They want to be near services,” Oliver said.

Don Laird, who worked on 2000 by 2000, estimates 2,600 people retired to Columbia in response to the campaign. Those retirees brought with them a surplus of cash and time, which they used volunteering or taking in cultural events. A recent study by the Columbia Convention and Visitors Bureau found MU sporting events add $118 million annually to the economy. Some of those people in the stands are retired alumni.

“We knew what they brought in terms of talent and impact on the community,” said Laird, now president of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce. “They were looking for a very active retirement.”

crosswalk. Seniors were having trouble crossing the street in the time allotted, so the city added a few seconds to stoplights to make crossing easier.

Laird said not everyone thought attracting retirees was a good idea. There was concern that retirees who had no children or grandchildren in area schools would not support school issues at the ballot box. The city commissioned a study that found people who supported schools before retirement generally voted in favor of schools after retirement.

“Some of the precincts with seniors were some of the biggest supporters of Columbia public schools,” Laird said.

There was also a concern that catering to seniors would alienate the patrons of Columbia’s most vibrant businesses, its universities.

But Columbia remains a young town. Its median age of 26.8 hasn’t budged since the 2000 Census, and is up by just one year since 1990. The seniors who choose to move there like it that way, said David B. Oliver, assistant director of the MU Interdisciplinary Center on Aging.

“If you live in one of these university towns and you don’t like young people, you’d better move to Florida or Texas,” Oliver said.

Though college students keep Columbia young, aging baby boomers mean there are more people older than 65 in

COLUMBIA LEADERS ON ATTRACTING SENIOR CITIZENS AND PREPARING FOR AN OLDER POPULATION

A better image Columbia toned down its recruitment of retirees after it reached its goal in 2000, though the Chamber of Commerce does do some promotion through a “Retire Columbia” campaign.

For Leonatti, whose organization helps seniors live independently, one of the campaign’s most important legacies was presenting a more positive view of seniors.

“It certainly was a much more positive image than the government often portrays of ‘old people need things, and you’ve got to provide them,’” Leonatti said.

As states cut budgets, tuition rises

By Justin Pope Associated Press

It’s a kick in the gut even for students and families hardened to bad financial news: Average in-state tuition and fees at four-year public colleges rose an additional $631 this fall, or 8.3 percent, compared with a year ago.

Nationally, the cost of a full credit load has passed $8,000, an all-time high. Throw in room and board, and the average list price for a state school now runs more than $17,000 a year, according to the twin annual reports on college costs and student aid published today by the College Board.

Helping drive the national numbers were huge tuition increases at public universities in California, which enrolls 10 percent of public four-year college students and whose 21 percent tuition increase this year was the largest of any state.

But even without California, prices would have increased 7 percent on average nationally — an exceptional burden at a time of high unemployment and stagnant family incomes.

The large increase in federal grants and tax credits for students, on top of stimulus dollars that prevented great-

er state cuts, helped keep the average tuition-and-fees that families actually pay much lower: about $2,490, or just $170 more than five years ago. But the days of states and families relying on budget relief from Washington appear numbered. And some argue that while Washington’s largesse may have helped some students, it did little to hold down prices.

“The states cut budgets, the price goes up, and the (federal) money goes to that,” said Patrick Callan, president of the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education. “For 25 years we’ve been putting more and more money into financial aid, and tuition keeps going up. We’re on a national treadmill.”

Terry Hartle, senior vice president at the American Council on Education, which represents colleges in Washington, said the cause of the price increases for the 80 percent of college students who attend public institutions is clear.

State appropriations to higher education declined 18 percent per student over the last three years, the College Board found, the sharpest fall on record.

“To see increases of 20 percent, as we saw in Cali-

fornia, to see gains of 15 percent in other states, is simply unprecedented,” Hartle said.

“Tuition is simply being used as a revenue substitute in many states.”

The latest report comes with concerns about student debt front and center among many of the Occupy Wall Street protesters. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama planned to announce a new measure today to help borrowers of student loans. The administration plans to accelerate from 2014 to 2012 a new income-based repayment option that will bring monthly payment caps down from 15 percent of discretionary income to 10 percent. It also plans to allow 5.8 million borrowers who are paying back two kinds of government loans — federal direct loans and loans from the old Federal Family Education Loan Program — to consolidate them, which could lower monthly payments.

The College Board reports roughly 56 percent of 20092010 bachelor’s degree recipients at public four-years graduated with debt, averaging about $22,000. At private nonprofit universities, the figures were higher — 65 percent and around $28,000.

Panel: Boys should get HPV vaccine, too ATLANTA — A vaccine against cervical cancer hasn’t been all that popular for girls. It may be a harder sell for boys now that it’s been recommended for them too.

A government advisory panel on Tuesday decided that the vaccine should also be given to boys, in part to help prevent the cancercausing virus through sex.

Public health officials have tried since 2006 to get parents HEALTH to have their daughters vaccinated against the human papillomavirus, or HPV, which causes most of the cervical cancer in women.

They have had limited success, hitting a number of hurdles.

Some parents distrust the safety of vaccines, especially newer products. Others don’t want to think about their daughters having sex one day, or worry that the vaccine essentially promotes promiscuous behavior.

Tuesday’s vote by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ was the first to strongly recommend routine vaccination for boys since the vaccine was first approved for them two years ago. Officials acknowledged the low rate in girls encouraged them to take a new, hard look.

Google is dealing with

more government demands to turn over information about its users as more people immerse themselves online.

The mounting pressure on the Internet search leader emerged in a statistical snapshot that Google Inc. released Tuesday of its dealings with authorities around the world. The breakdown provides a country-bycountry capsule of Google’s legal sparring with authorities during the first six months of the year.

This is the fourth time Google has disclosed a six-month summary of government requests since the company started reporting the numbers last year following a high-profile showdown with China’s communist government over online censorship. With Tuesday’s update, Google included the total number of user accounts targeted, instead of just the number of requests made by police, prosecutors, courts and other agencies at all levels of government worldwide.

Google received more than 15,600 requests in the January-June period, 10 percent more than the final six months of last year. The requests in the latest period spanned more than 25,400 individual accounts worldwide — a tiny fraction of Google’s more than billion users.

Glum consumer confidence level marks lowest since March 2009

By Anne D’innocenzio and Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

NEW YORK — Americans say they feel worse about the economy than they have since the depths of the Great Recession. And it’s a bad time for a bad mood because households are starting to make their holiday budgets.

It might not be all doom and gloom, though. Sometimes what people say about the economy and how they behave are two different things.

Consumer confidence fell in October to the lowest since March 2009, reflecting the big hit that the stock market took this summer and frustration with an economic recovery that doesn’t really feel like one.

The Conference Board, a private research group, said its index of consumer sentiment came in at 39.8, down about six points from September and seven shy of what economists were expecting.

The reading is still well above where the index stood two and a half years ago, at 26.9. But it’s not even within shouting distance of 90, what

it takes to signal that the economy is on solid footing.

Economists watch consumer confidence closely because consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. The index measures how shoppers feel about business conditions, the job market and the next six months.

It came exactly two months before Christmas, with retailers preparing for the holiday shopping season, their busiest. Almost twice as many people now expect a pay cut over the next six months as expect a raise.

“If people think their income is declining, they’re not going to be inclined to spend,” said Jacob Oubina, an economist at RBC Capital Markets.

Economists point out that consumer confidence is not as simple as a single number, though. The feelings people express about the economy do not always track how they actually spend money.

In September, for example, despite feeling bad about the economy, people increased their spending on retail goods by the most since

March. More people bought new cars, a purchase people typically make when they are confident in their finances.

The percentage of Americans who plan to buy a major appliance in the next six months, such as a television or washing machine, rose to 46 percent, up from 41 percent. Exactly half plan to take a vacation in the next six months, up from 47 percent.

Consolidation task A local group has been told to move forward on plans to consolidate elementary schools, but key questions remain.

M

embers of a group working on elementary school consolidation may have emerged from Monday’s meeting with the Lawrence school board with as many questions as answers about the task ahead of them.

The goal of the meeting was to provide clearer instructions for the Central and East Lawrence Elementary School Consolidation Working Group. The group was formed to come up with scenarios for closing two or three elementary schools in the central part of the city in the next two or three years.

However, after the group was appointed, four new members took their seats on the seven-member school board, and members of the working group needed to know whether their charge had changed.

At Monday’s meeting, the board offered some specific instructions, but there also were some contradictions. For instance, the board told the working group members they should be creative in some areas but they shouldn’t spend any time considering what many would consider the creative idea of establishing “magnet” or theme-based schools.

An even bigger issue was the matter of a bond issue to fund whatever construction the working group proposes as part of its plan.

The board told the group to assume that voters would approve a bond issue to fund whatever plan it comes up with, but, at the same time, at least two board members said they believed it was highly unlikely that a bond issue would be approved.

Making improvements at one or more of the six elementary schools in question or even building an entirely new building probably is a key component to winning the support of people in those attendance areas and perhaps the voting public. Consolidation efforts need to be seen as an improvement for students in those schools, not just a cost-cutting measure. It’s also true, as some board members pointed out, that the district is paying off some earlier bond issues and might be able to pay off a new bond issue to fund elementary school construction without raising the local tax levy.

Even so, approval of a new bond issue is far from certain, especially if it doesn’t have the wholehearted support of the board. The economy continues to lag, and many taxpayers are having trouble making ends meet.

There also is significant uncertainty about state funding for public schools and plans that may be forthcoming from the Brownback administration to shift more of that funding responsibility to local taxpayers.

In the end, the school board told the working group to just come up with a plan and let the board and the community consider how it might be funded. Perhaps that is enough direction to allow the working group to move forward, but it leaves a lot of uncertainty about a task that likely will have a significant impact on the community’s education future.

Employees at Kansas University had been mailed questionnaires designed to measure their level of job satisfaction. According to organizers, this was YEARS an effort to give the Kansas LegislaAGO ture an idea of the morale among KU IN 1986 employees due to low salary increases and strained resources.

Democrat Jim Slattery, who had been representing the 2nd District of northeast Kansas in Congress for the past four years, said he was “not too worried” about the challenge of Republican Phill Kline in the Nov. 4 general election. “I take all of my opponents seriously. I take Mr. Kline seriously. I am relatively confident but what is important is what happens on election day,” Slattery said.

Lucky accidents reveal terrorist plots WASHINGTON — So now maybe every Quds Force operative or al-Qaida sleeper agent will have to worry that when he discusses a plot, he may unwittingly be talking to an undercover informant from the DEA or the FBI. And that paranoia is certainly all to the good.

But I have a nagging concern about the way the United States keeps “stinging” potential domestic terrorists. These concerns have grown stronger in the week after the noisy indictment of Mansour Arbabsiar, the Iranian-American used-car salesman who allegedly wanted to blow up a restaurant to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington.

I don’t doubt that the Iranians are capable of such a highrisk attack, or that the alleged conspirators made the statements quoted in the indictment. It’s a scary case, all the more so for the haphazard process in which a Quds Force colonel in Tehran, in a recorded phone call, appears to approve a deadly bombing with a bland code phrase about buying a Chevrolet.

What’s troubling about this case is that, like so many other domestic terrorism prosecutions, it surfaced because of a lucky accident. Arbabsiar allegedly sought to impress Quds Force leaders in Tehran with his connections to the Mexican drug mafia, and in the process blundered into an informant from the Drug Enforcement Ad-

But it would be better to learn about plots because you have penetrated to the core of your adversary, rather than by picking up a stray operative or wannabe at the periphery.”

ministration who was working in the Zetas cartel.

Arbabsiar strikes me, the more I read the improbable details of his indictment, as what intelligence officers sometimes call a “peddler.” That is, someone who’s down on his luck, trying to hustle some business as a freelance plotter. These people are like small-time hoodlums, hoping to score by trading bits of intelligence that come their way, or, in this instance, volunteering to organize a hit on someone they know the boss would like to see dead.

It’s frightening that Iran’s supposedly elite Quds Force would work with such an erratic character. But oddballs like Arbabsiar have a way of sur-

facing in domestic terrorism cases. Consider some recent examples, suggested by University of Texas law professor Bobby Chesney; they illustrate the unlikely fish in the trawlers’ net: O Rezwan Ferdaus, an American of Bangladeshi descent was arrested Sept. 28 after allegedly bragging to undercover FBI agents that he planned to fly model aircraft filled with explosives into the Pentagon and the Capitol.

O Agron Hasbajrami, an Albanian immigrant, was picked up Sept. 6 after the FBI intercepted his messages supporting terrorist groups in Pakistan; an FBI informant offered to help him join a radical group overseas, and he was arrested at JFK airport before boarding a plane to Turkey.

O Laguerre Payen, a Haitian immigrant, was sentenced to 25 years last month for plotting with an undercover agent to shoot what were actually fake missiles at synagogues and military airplanes in the New York area in 2009.

O Siavosh Henareh, a Romanian, and three other conspirators were arrested in July after a DEA undercover operation in which they discussed smuggling heroin into the United States and using the sales proceeds to buy Stinger missiles and AK-47 rifles for Hezbollah.

And that’s just from the past few months. Similar examples include a 2006 prosecution of seven members of a Miami re-

ligious cult who conspired with phony al-Qaida operatives; a 2008 conviction of a Syrian who agreed to sell weapons to fake Colombian terrorists; and the 2005 conviction of a rice trader who tried to sell a surface-to-air missile to an FBI agent pretending to be a Somali terrorist.

Kudos to the FBI and DEA for clever operations; these cases, near as I can tell, weren’t entrapment but good, aggressive law enforcement.

But it would be better to learn about plots because you have penetrated to the core of your adversary, rather than by picking up a stray operative or wannabe at the periphery. And it’s important not to confuse such peripheral figures with the committed plotters who took months to organize the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The most dangerous conspirators are the ones who won’t fall into the traps — who won’t talk to a potential informer, who won’t discuss operations over an open phone line, who won’t swim so eagerly into the net.

U.S. law-enforcement stings will be good at catching sloppy terrorists, but we shouldn’t confuse these successes with the deep and long-running intelligence operations that can snag the careful ones.

And finally, if the Quds Force will talk to a loser like Arbabsiar, who else might they have on the line?

‘Occupy’ stands up for middle class

By Daniel Akst Newsday

I don’t eat tofu.

In college, I didn’t major in improvisational dance. I dislike the outdoors, and dislike outdoorsiness even more. I think science is the best means we have for understanding the world, and that capitalism is the greatest force for good in it.

Why am I telling you all this?

So you’ll understand how strange it is that I’m about to praise the Occupy Wall Street protesters and their ragtag brethren in other cities. I want you to see that I’m practically the last person on Earth who’d normally approve of such a thing.

Well, maybe not the very last person. Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JP Morgan Chase, might be the last person. But I’m high on the list. I defend Wal-Mart at dinner parties. I oppose the corporate income tax, since it falls haphazardly on the wrong people while encouraging wasteful contortions by business.

Yet here I am, defending the protesters. The reason is that I fear the political system has been largely hijacked by interests hostile to middle-class Americans, who’ve suffered for years while the top 1 percent of earners has enjoyed enormous gains.

That doesn’t mean the richest Americans are bad people. It just happens that the world has changed in ways that heap ever more rewards on the best educated workers, as well as those in certain select sectors, such as

“

… I fear the political system has been largely hijacked by interests hostile to middle-class Americans, who’ve suffered for years while the top 1 percent of earners has enjoyed enormous gains.” finance. Technology and globalization have been big drivers of this trend.

But not all these changes are the result of forces beyond anyone’s control. When Congress decided to tax earned income more harshly than capital gains, that was a political decision.

The near-death of private-sector unions is partially suicide, but federal labor policies haven’t helped.

Middle-class Americans, meanwhile, have seen much of their home equity wiped out.

Their retirement savings have been pounded in the stock market. Many lack jobs. The young are burdened by nearly $1 trillion in student debt.

These hard-pressed Americans have noticed that when banks were teetering, taxpayer funds rescued them. It was the right decision, and most of the money has been repaid. But after the bailout, the banks went right back to handing out huge bonuses and opposing regulations that might make a future meltdown less likely.

What does the government do? President Barack Obama pro-

poses feeble jobs programs, and congressional Republicans block them. The real answer, they say, is lower taxes, cutting government and fewer regulations.

Meanwhile, Jane and Joe Sixpack, tough luck.

While 50 million Americans lack health care, and medical expenses cause (according to one study) 60 percent of bankruptcies, Republican candidates outdo one another in their opposition to the president’s health care reforms. Florida has even turned down federal money that would have helped move elderly and disabled folks from nursing homes to their own homes.

Herman Cain, in his presidential bid, has proposed a massive shift of the tax burden to those who can least afford it.

People know what’s going on.

But only some quixotic protesters in lower Manhattan seem willing to voice their outrage.

And as long as they don’t block the roads or break the law, God bless them.

Did I mention that I have a special loathing for public disorder?

That I hate piercings, and sneer at Birkenstocks? That I’m a conscientious objector in the war on gluten? That nothing short of foreclosure could make me sleep on the ground?

Sadly, it may yet come to that, for many of us who think of ourselves as middle class. Meanwhile it’s nice to know Occupy Wall Street is sleeping on the ground for me.

— Daniel Akst, a columnist for Newsday, is the author of “We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess” from Penguin Press.

I, too, am a senior citizen living in Lawrence. I live on a fixed income (my Social Security). I am so frustrated to hear about the possibility of mandated trash bins, recycle bins for each homeowner and also an extra charge for the once-weekly yard waste pickup. I rarely have more than one trash bag for curb pickup; I recycle as much as possible to the bins at Checkers and Walmart. I recycle my grass clippings and leaves as mulch but because I live in an older neighborhood, there are always limbs and debris, plus overgrown vine and flower clippings that I need to clean up and put out for the yard waste pickup.

I have read with great interest the articles in the Lawrence Journal-World professing that Lawrence could and should become a mecca for senior citizens. Well, I would wonder how many financially challenged senior citizens would consider Lawrence a budget-friendly city. We Social Security recipients have not had a COLA for two years, so my budget is stretched to the limit. Every time a new increase or expense comes up, I have to eradicate one more thing from the existing budget. And now with this proposal I would have a monthly trash bin fee, a monthly recycle bin fee and have to pay extra for yard waste pickup. I hope the city seriously considers what a burden these proposed mandates would place on so many of us and makes every attempt to consider the financial status of so many of Lawrence’s citizens.

LAWRENCE ALMANAC Through 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Trial in lawsuit against Kline delayed TOPEKA (AP) — The trial of a sex discrimination lawsuit against former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline has been delayed as attorneys finalize a settlement.

The lawsuit stems from Kline’s 2007 firing of Jacqie Spradling when he was serving as Johnson County district attorney following his term as attorney general. Spradling, who was a senior prosecutor in Johnson County, alleges she was fired in retaliation for her complaints of sex discrimination.

Attorneys for Kline and Spradling said Tuesday a judge has agreed to postpone the planned start of the trial from this week until January as a settlement is finalized.

Last week, Spradling reached a settlement with the Johnson County government over the case, leaving Kline, the state of Kansas and former Kline deputy Steve Maxwell as the remaining defendants.

Johnson County District Judge Gerald T. Elliott agreed to dismiss the county from the lawsuit after county officials agreed to a $7,500 settlement.

As part of the deal, the money will be donated to Safehome, a domestic violence shelter in Johnson County.

The Black Dahlia Murder It’s close enough to Halloween that a death metal show seems appropriate.

Enter The Black Dahlia Murder tonight at The Granada, 1020 Mass. Death Metal is one of those genres whose audience and detractors both point to the same things when they’re praising or trashing the music. The Black Dahlia Murder is loud, blisteringly fast and full of the kind of throaty screamspeak lyrics that critics pan and fans love. At its dark, sweaty core, the band — and all of the bands on this stop — are visceral, savage and as direct as a shotgun blast to the chest. The band is joined by merry pranksters All Shall Perish, Cannabis Corpse and Marasmus.

Tickets are $18 at the door.

CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT

AP source: West Virginia will replace Missouri Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Mizzou who?

WVU’s nice too West Virginia, on the verge of joining the Big 12, brings a ton of fascinating history.

For starters, it counts as alumni the greatest clutch shooter of all-time and the worst-ever shooter under pressure.

The greatest, of course, was Jerry West, Mr. Clutch himself, so named because he buried winning shots galore for the Los Angeles Lakers. West was too great for just one nickname.

His other is “The Logo,” because the NBA logo is based on a photo of West in mid-drive.

Mr. Clutch also was a great defender blessed with super-quick hands and was the most successful NBA general manager not named Red Auerbach.

The worst shooter under pressure? Barney Fife, the bumbling deputy portrayed by West Virginia graduate Don Knotts on “The Andy Griffith Show.” Fife had such a shaky trigger finger that his boss, Sheriff Andy Taylor, made him carry his lone bullet in his shirt pocket, instead of in his pistol.

It turned green from lack of use.

But conference realignment, we constantly are reminded, isn’t about basketball or tradition or the greatest sitcom character in television history. It’s about football. In part, football is about mascots and marching bands and painted faces and, most of all, TV ratings. West Virginia earns straight A’s in all of those departments.

The student mascot, The Mountaineer, wears a buckskin costume, a coonskin hat and a beard, except when a coed fills the role. The Mountaineer carries a period rifle and powder horn. The marching band, known as “The Pride of West Virginia,” has had as many as 390 members at a time. John Denver’s “Country Roads” isn’t the school’s official fight song, but it does get the biggest rise out of the wild crowds in Morgantown.

Never having seen a football game in either Columbia, Mo., or Morgantown, W.V., I can only go on how the atmospheres jump out of a TV set.

Based on that, it’s no comparison. West Virginia’s a more exciting conference member than Missouri. A bonus: Mountaineers basketball coach Bob Huggins ranks among the most candid interviews in the game.

And if Kentucky’s John Calipari or Butler’s Brad Stevens isn’t the best college basketball coach without a national title, then it’s Huggins. Missouri couldn’t keep its elite hoops coach, Mike Anderson, but West Virginia won’t have that problem. Huggins played at the school he coaches and enjoys hanging out with the buddies he made during his college days.

Missouri’s expected departure to the SEC spells an end to the great rivalry with Kansas, which has no reason to want to continue it. That’s one of the more unfortunate victims of conference realignment, but life goes on for Kansas and the Big 12.

Now Missouri must develop a conference rival. Upon departing the Southwest Conference in 1991, Arkansas left Texas, its chief rival, behind.

The Razorbacks figured they would develop a new rivalry in no time. They still don’t have one. Provided Mizzou and Arkansas end up in the same division of the realigned SEC, they could become each other’s border rivals. They could play for a box of chocolates, or to give it a more local flavor, a bag of Tootsie Rolls.

By Ralph D. Russo AP College Football Writer

The Big 12 has a replacement lined up for Missouri before it even leaves the conference.

The Big East, meanwhile, is in danger of losing another school before replacing the three that already have bailed on the league.

Acting quickly to make sure it maintains a 10-member lineup, the Big 12 approved bringing in West Virginia to replace Missouri when the Tigers complete their move to the Southeast-

ern Conference, a person with knowledge of the decision told the Associated Press on Tuesday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Big 12 had not announced that the conference board of directors on Monday unanimously approved inviting West Virginia when Missouri’s spot comes open.

The move is another step toward stabilizing a Big 12 that seemed on the verge of collapse about a month ago when Texas and Oklahoma were pondering a move to the Pac-12.

On the other side, West Virginia’s pending departure from the Big East, which has lost two members and one member-tobe in the last six weeks, leaves the embattled conference facing another crisis.

The Big East is trying to reconfigure as a 12-team football league and has been courting Boise State, Navy and Air Force as football-only members and Central Florida, SMU and Houston for all sports. Commissioner John Marinatto met with officials from some of those schools Sunday in Washington.

Because there is no timetable for Missouri to complete its expected departure from the Big 12 — and the league’s board of directors expressed “a strong desire” for Missouri to stay — there is no timetable for West Virginia to receive a formal invitation, the person said.

But West Virginia will accept an invitation from the Big 12 once it is offered, the person said.

Regionals rematch

LAWRENCE HIGH’S ZACH WUSTEFELD, LEFT, TRIES to get the ball around Junction City’s Jonathon Hendon in the Class 6A regional soccer tournament Tuesday at LHS.

LHS hammers Junction City, 5-0, sets up rematch with ...

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

Over at the Lawrence High bench and postgame huddle, the players continually barked the word “swag” as if it were the new team slogan.

After Tuesday night’s 5-0 home victory against Junction City (312-2), LHS (7-7-3) is now through to the next round in the Class 6A regional tournament. The players’ muse for this game was, in a word, “swag.”

“We like to play with swag, and lots of it,” senior Chandler Thomann said.

The final score looks nice, but

the first half lacked any kind of swagger from LHS. The Lions, who beat the Blue Jays by the same score last month, scored first with a goal from senior Adrian Rivera three minutes into the game.

Afterward, coach Mike Murphy said his team got complacent, and the ball movement, focus and effort all started to fade. Junior Robert Lyan scored with five minutes left to go in the half, and the Lions went in at break with a 2-0 lead.

It was a lead, but not one that was comfortable enough for the team to go cold.

FREE STATE’S JAKE WALTER, LEFT, MANEUVERS past a Topeka High defender in Class 6A regional soccer tournament action Tuesday at FSHS.

... FSHS, which shuts out Topeka High, 2-0

By Andrew Hartsock ahartsock@ljworld.com

For the first 30 or so minutes, an observer with a halfway-decent sense of recent Free State High soccer history had to wonder if the Firebirds’ first game in the Class 6A state playoffs might be their last.

Though FSHS spent most of its time in the attacking half of the field and its defense was smothering, the Firebirds kept missing golden opportunities — pointblank shots, empty-netters — and found themselves locked in a scoreless tie with playoff nemesis Topeka High on Tuesday at FSHS.

Finally, in the 32nd minute, Zack Thompson broke the drought, scoring machine Jake Walter added an insurance goal in the 59th minute, and Free State advanced to the regional final with a 2-0 victory.

“We played pretty well,” Free State junior goalie Luke Lesslie said, “but we could have finished more opportunities. We’re happy we won, but we could have done more.”

If nothing else, the Firebirds (9-6-2) exorcised one playoff demon.

Gill emphasizes the positives and the process

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas coach Turner Gill tried to stay positive Tuesday, despite the Jayhawks’ season-long struggles.

Tuesday, at his regularly scheduled news conference, Kansas University football coach Turner Gill found himself in a dogfight, fielding a barrage of questions about his future and the way he would go about fixing the problems that plague the Jayhawks.

Judging by the way the session began, Gill was ready.

Unprompted, Gill, whose Jayhawks will face the University

of Texas at 6 p.m. Saturday in Austin, Texas, spent the first couple of minutes of Tuesday’s meeting with reporters emphasizing the areas his team had improved from last year.

“I would like to focus on two phases where we have improved, on offense and special teams,” he began. “On offense, we are scoring 30 points per game, where last year we were at 16. We have improved in rushing touchdowns — we have 15 so far, and at this time last year we had seven. In passing touchdowns,

we have 14 right now, and we had seven up to this point last year. Another key thing that we look at is yards per play. Last year we averaged 4.6, and this year we are averaging 5.5 yards per play. Another great stat is that our passing percentage has improved from 57 percent last year to 67 percent this year.”

All true. All worthy of applause. But none of those statistics addresses the team’s two biggest problems. The first is its defense, which, through seven games, is on pace to become

the worst in NCAA history and ranks last or second-to-last in total defense, passing defense and rushing defense. The second speaks to Gill’s philosophy.

While he continues to push his “Believe” mantra, many outside the program are clamoring for the second-year coach to add “achieve” to his vocabulary.

Tuesday, for the first time this season, Gill indicated he understood that.

NBA expected to cancel two more weeks

By Kate Fagan The Philadelphia Inquirer

Sometime in the next 48 hours, the NBA is expected to cancel an additional two weeks of the 201112 regular-season schedule.

It’s been nearly a week since the league’s most recent bargaining session with the NBA Players Association. The NBA, which has locked out its players since July 1,

is expected to make formal what most considered inevitable: canceling about 102 games from Nov. 14 to Nov. 28.

Two weeks ago, the NBA canceled the first two weeks of the season, about 100 games from Nov. 1 to Nov. 14. Sometime this week, the NBA will cancel the first four weeks of the regular season, costing itself approximately $400 million in revenue.

As of Tuesday night, the two sides had no plans to continue negotiating — meaning further cancellations are now only a matter of time.

Since the lockout’s commencement on July 1, the NBA and the players union have been hot and cold in their attempts to negotiate the next collective bargaining agreement. The most recent sessions, which included a federal mediator and covered approximately

Phone pas least of woes for Cards

Royals name Eiland new pitching coach

By Bernie Miklasz St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — This just in from Busch Stadium: Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. didn’t fire Tony La Russa after the peculiar sequence of events that turned Game 5 into a long, strange trip.

La Russa will be in the dugout working World Series Game 6. He’ll be in full survival mode, doing whatever he can to push the Cardinals through to Game 7.

And, yes, La Russa will still be allowed to use the telephone.

Tuesday afternoon at Busch, La Russa took full responsibility for Game 5’s inexplicable bullpen-phone debacle. La Russa couldn’t get his desired relievers into a 2-2 game because of a miscommunication when he rang the bullpen to relay instructions. The Rangers jumped for a two-run double from Johnny Bench — sorry, I meant to say Mike Napoli — and won 4-2.

From a St. Louis standpoint, this was the most disappointing phone-call experience since Chuck Berry called Memphis, Tenn., and couldn’t get in touch with his Marie. “To the extent that what I wanted to have happen wasn’t happening, didn’t happen, yeah, that’s my fault,� La Russa said. “I don’t need to dodge that, ever.�

La Russa absolved bullpen coach Derek Lilliquist. “I mean, he felt bad about it, but I said, ‘Hey, it’s my fault.’ Maybe I slurred it, whatever it is,� La Russa said. “It comes down to who has the responsibility when there’s those kinds of miscommunications; it’s mine.�

So on the day after the Cardinals frittered away a victory to give the Rangers a 3-2 lead in the World Series, La Russa calmly handled another round of questions.

La Russa put his lawyerly skills to use.

Parts of the story still don’t make sense. If you want to parse La Russa’s words and find holes in his version of events, the cracks and fault lines are there.

If La Russa is holding back on details, my hunch is that he’s trying to protect some of his guys. When asked if he’d been the one making all of the phone calls to the bullpen in Game 5, La Russa mentioned pitching coach Dave Duncan and said, “Yeah, I think sometimes Dunc calls, but he’s usually doing his chart. I think I called.�

TLR only thinks he called?

Well, that’s less than definitive.

We can go around and around on this, but the conclusion is the same: It was a horrible evening in Texas for the Cardinals and their manager. Go ahead and accuse La Russa of multiple baseball crimes and misdemeanors, but if the Cardinals’ hitters step up and chip in with a couple of timely hits, a perky traveling party takes a 3-2 Series lead back home to The Lou. The La Russa imbroglio has caused something of a fever among national baseball reporters. No doubt the Cardinals’ hitters are thankful for this, given their embarrassing failure to deliver positive impact in the team’s three losses.

The Cardinals went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position in Game 5. They have scored three runs, total, in their three losses to the Rangers, and that includes being shut out in Game 4.

In the three losses the Cardinals have hit .169 with a .191 slugging percentage. They’re 2-for-21 with runners in scoring position.

In the three losses Albert Pujols, Matt Holliday, Lance Berkman and David Freese — hitters three through six in the lineup — are a combined 6-for-39 with no runs batted in.

But this is all on Tony, right?

La Russa hit .199 in the majors, and there’s your problem.

Too many important Cardinals are hitting like La Russa once did.

That must change, now or never.

If the Cardinals go down quietly, if they lose this World Series to the Texas Rangers, the stain of Game 5 will stick to La Russa for a long time — maybe forever.

And all because his players couldn’t come through with a big hit. It doesn’t seem right. It doesn’t seem fair.

The Cardinals need to win one for Don Tony.

Epstein officially joins Cubs CHICAGO — Theo Epstein knew it was time to move on, even though it meant leaving the team he loved. After nearly a decade as general manager in Boston where he won two World Series titles, Epstein decided change would be a good thing. “After 10 years, no matter how passionate you are, you see the same issues, day after day and you are around the same people day after day,� Epstein said. “You are around the same landscape day after day for 10 years and eventually you will benefit from a new landscape and fresh problems.�

Epstein was introduced as the new president of baseball operations for the Cubs on Tuesday, going from one team that ended its long championship drought while he was at the helm to one desperately searching for a title after more than a century of futility and frustration.

RB Baxter leaves USC

Pitt. v. Connecticut

7 p.m.

ESPN

33, 233

LOS ANGELES — Tailback Dillon Baxter is no longer part of Southern California’s football team, likely ending the Trojans career of an elite recruit after less than two seasons.

USC coach Lane Kiffin wouldn’t reveal the reasons for Baxter’s separation from the 20th-ranked Trojans (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) on Tuesday, refusing to characterize it as a suspension or a dismissal.

He said Baxter is still enrolled at USC, and will focus on academics for the rest of the year. “There was no word in there (like) suspension,� Kiffin said after Tuesday’s practice, referring to the school’s brief statement about Baxter. “We’re done talking about it. ... This is all about no distractions, so it’s why we’re not answering questions. We don’t want our players or our coaches dealing with it. Our team has had great focus over the last couple of weeks on the road, and the last thing we want to do is get distracted.�

Baxter was among the nation’s most coveted recruits two years ago out of high school in San Diego, with Florida, Oregon, Tennessee and other big schools pursuing the versatile athlete who also played quarterback and receiver at Mission Bay High.

But Baxter’s USC career has been rocky since his first training camp under Kiffin, when he was suspended for last year’s season opener for undisclosed disciplinary problems.

He landed in several spots of minor trouble last season while failing to earn consistent playing time, carrying the ball for just 252 yards and one touchdown.

LSU suspensions end BATON ROUGE, LA. — LSU star cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, leading rusher Spencer Ware and defensive back Tharold Simon returned to practice on Tuesday for the first time since being suspended a week ago for violating the team’s drug policy.

The three were barred from Tiger Stadium for No. 1 LSU’s 45-10 victory over Auburn last weekend, but coach Les Miles said they should be on the field when the unbeaten Tigers visit second-ranked Alabama on Nov. 5 in what has become one of the most anticipated games of the college football season. “We’re practicing, preparing them to play and operating along that way,� Miles said. “We’re going to plan on using them.�

Minnesota gives Kill 7 years MINNEAPOLIS — Jerry Kill took over Minnesota’s struggling football program and assessed that rebuilding the Gophers is going to take longer than he first anticipated.

The university agreed.

After working for more than eight months under the terms of an agreement struck when he was hired as the head coach, Kill finally signed his contract Tuesday — getting two more years and a little bit more money than in the original framework of the deal.

His contract runs through the 2017 season and will pay him at least $1.2 million annually, half of that in base salary and the other half in supplemental compensation for appearances, endorsements and fundraising.

COMMENTARY

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Royals manager Ned Yost said last month that he wanted to find a new pitching coach who managed to have a long career in the major leagues despite having “mediocre stuff.�

He found precisely that in Dave Eiland.

The former Yankees pitching coach was added to Yost’s staff Tuesday. He’ll be tasked with helping to develop a young starting rotation that was long on talent but too often short on results this season, when the Royals finished 71-91 and 24 games out of first place in the AL Central. “This is a team that’s going to make some noise as we move forward,� said Eiland, who spent the past season as a special assistant to Rays general manager Andrew Friedman. “We feel like if we all do our part, this is a team that can contend within the next year or two.�

Eiland takes over for Bob McClure, who was let go after five seasons with the Royals.

McClure oversaw the development of former Cy Young winner Zack Greinke, now with the Brewers, along with current starters such as Luke Hochevar and Danny Duffy.

But he was often criticized for a pitching staff that walked far too many batters — the Royals were fourth in the majors and led the American League with 557 walks — and consequently struggled to get deep into games. “You have to teach guys how to pitch into the seventh, eighth and ninth inning, and how to finish games, and that’s what we want to do out there,� Eiland said Tuesday.

NICK WOOD INTRODUCES HIMSELF to a gathering of Lawrence High softball players after he was named head coach of the varsity softball team Tuesday. Wood, who also serves as head coach of the girls basketball team, is taking over for Reenie Stogsdill.

LHS basketball coach adds softball to plate

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

When Lawrence High girls basketball coach Nick Wood had the chance to be the head coach of another sport, he couldn’t pass it up.

In the LHS cafeteria Tuesday, Wood announced he will be adding softball to his coaching duties.

“For (the administrators) to feel confident enough for me to run two programs, it’s awesome,” he said.

Wood, who graduated from LHS with a sparkling baseball résumé, also had to sell his wife on the new job. He has a 21⁄2-year-old daughter to take care of, and he just added another challenge. But he seems ready to face it.

Wood inherits a team that made it to the state tournament last year, led by Sunflower League Co-Coach of the Year Reenie Stogsdill.

The season is a few months

FSHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

Trojans in the regular season and was favored in the playoffs. But THS stuck around and claimed a 1-0, doubleovertime victory that ended the Firebirds’ season.

Earlier this season, FSHS beat Topeka, 4-0, and as a No. 2 seed hosting a No. 7, again was favored in the playoffs. THS (2-14) stuck around, but Thompson, late in the first half, and Walter, midway through the second, flipped the script.

“We knew this was the same team that knocked us out last year,” Walter said.

“So we really wanted to put it in the back of the net. We did a good job of putting pressure on them, but I don’t know what it was. I feel like I personally wasn’t on the top of my game. We kept missing shots. A couple were open

LHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

“At halftime, coach let us know that wouldn’t be acceptable,” Thomann said.

Murphy wanted the game to be like the last match-up against Junction City, where the team was consistent. The Lions made up for it in the final 30 minutes.

“I was really challenging them to come out in the second half and do a better job,” Murphy said. “And they did.”

Junior Gavin Fischer assisted on Lyan’s second goal of the night at the 28:13 mark.

Up by three, the Lions played keep-away, and the Blue Jays didn’t get many shot opportunities in the second half, or much of the game, for that matter. Senior goalie Tanner Click had a couple of saves, but didn’t get much of a workout. He was replaced by junior Jeff Mekus with 17:24 to go, and that was the beginning of Murphy giving his substitutions plenty of playing time.

That tactic paid immediate dividends when senior Robbie Andrews, who was called up from JV for this game, scored Lawrence’s fourth goal.

away, and, no matter how good the team was last year, Wood doesn’t have a specific goal in mind for the Lions.

“Hopefully at the end of the year, we will have reached our peak for who we are,” he said.

Following the success of Stogsdill, who resigned after last season, Wood said he has to win over his players. And he is well aware that it could take some time. He has been through coaching changes in his baseball-playing career and understands that some people adjust quickly while others take longer.

“At the end of the day,” Wood said, “I just need to get through to them that I care about them.”

He made a point Tuesday to show his new team that he is qualified for the position.

Wood, about to begin his third year as the varsity girls basketball coach, already has head coaching on his résumé.

And as a ballplayer? He’s got that covered, too.

At LHS, Wood’s team won the state tournament in 1996.

He also was part of an AAU team that finished second in the nation. And after high school, he signed on to play baseball at Kansas State.

Wood said he is going to try his best to carry the torch for Stogsdill, but he is also not jumping ahead of himself.

He said the changeover process is going to take time, and as the basketball coach, he has seen the challenges of building a winning program.

At the end of his introduction, he gathered the girls around, handed out paperwork and slipped in little words of wisdom between discussing technical matters.

His last one seemed to resonate the loudest.

“Just smile every once in a while, and it’ll be fine,” Wood said.

nets. But we’re happy to be moving on.”

They are in large part thanks to an efficient defense that made it easy for Lesslie to record the shutout.

“I guess I played OK,” he said. “I got a clean sheet, but it was the defense. They made me look good.”

In FSHS coach Kelly Barah’s eyes, Lesslie was one of the few Firebirds who did.

But Barah wholeheartedly embraced the survive-andadvance ethos of the playoffs.

“We weren’t as crisp as we usually are,” Barah said. “But it was good enough to get a win.”

Barah didn’t buy the idea the Firebirds were distracted by either their unfortunate recent history with Topeka or the allure of meeting their biggest rival, cross-town frenemy Lawrence High, in the regional final.

Having dispatched of the former, FSHS earned a date Thursday with the latter.

LHS advanced to Thursday’s

6 p.m. regional final at FSHS with a 5-0 victory over Junction City on Tuesday at LHS. “We usually don’t look ahead,” Barah said. “This team does a great job of following the saying ‘One game at a time.’ I assume it was because of nerves of playing in a playoff game.”

Even afterward, Barah didn’t much care to look ahead to the Lions, a team FSHS played to a controversial scoreless tie back on Oct. 13.

“We really don’t care who we play,” he said. “We’re just excited to be able to stay in the playoffs, and we’re excited to be playing at home.”

Walter was slightly less diplomatic.

“Especially after what happened last time at the end,” Walter said, referring to a missed one-on-one opportunity near the LHS goal with 16 seconds to go in the doubleovertime game, “my whole motivation, personally, has been to play them again.”

As time was winding down, the Lions still attacked, and the one that went in came from Thomann, capping the 5-0 night.

The Lions knew immediately after the game who their next opponent would be. As LHS poured it on Junction City on Tuesday, Lawrence Free State took care of Topeka High, 2-0, setting up a regional match-up of the cross-town rivals.

Murphy is glad he got most of his team into the mix Tuesday so the Lions could be prepared when they visit Free State at 6 p.m. Thursday.

For the players, the game plan against the Firebirds is simple. It’s only one word, after all.

“Swag is the definition of everything,” Thomann said.

“If you’ve got swag, you’re scoring goals.”

KANSAS MEN’S BASKETBALL

Manning runs walk-on hopefuls through drills

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

In all, 17 basketball players — ranging from 5-foot-5 to 6-foot-7 — flocked to Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday night for Kansas University walkon tryouts.

The hoops hopefuls ran through drills, scrimmaged and conditioned under the watchful eyes of KU assistant coach D a n n y Manning, who led the 1-hour, 40-minute session.

“The guys came out and tried e x t r e m e l y Manning hard,” Manning said. “They put forth a great effort, paid attention and listened. They are not in particularly great shape, but they went out and they tried.”

They were told what they should expect as non-scholarship players during a prepractice huddle.

“I wanted to be as real as possible with them and let

them know, ‘You are not going to come out here and make our team through this walk-on process and all of a sudden start averaging 20 points a game and getting 15 shots a game, so get those visions out of your head,’” Manning said. “‘You are here to be a member of our scout team, a practice player to play defense, to play with effort and energy, to compete, have a great attitude and be ‘no maintenance.’’’

Some of the athletes — no names were available — were former high school players; others had competed at the junior-college level.

“I consider them all members of the University of Kansas student body. That’s the only requirement,” Manning said.

KU coach Bill Self watched most of the session.

“Our numbers are down a little this year in terms of depth (13 players first semester, with Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor to practice second semester). He wanted to come out and look at the possibility of adding some-

one to the walk-on process,” Manning said.

Self conceivably could invite one or more of the players to participate in practice in coming days to assess their skills and attitudes further.

There will be no additional official tryout sessions.

Graduation rate high: KU’s men’s basketball team’s graduation success rate leads all hoops programs in the Big 12 Conference, according to statistics released Tuesday by the NCAA. Men’s basketball’s latest four-year graduation success rate, which includes the incoming classes of 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004, is 91 percent.

The NCAA’s GSR takes into account transfers and others who leave their universities in good academic standing.

Other Big 12 schools’ rates for the period measured: Oklahoma State 78 percent, Nebraska 75 percent, Texas Tech 70 percent, Texas A&M 69 percent, Missouri 67 percent, Texas 67 percent, Baylor 56 percent, Oklahoma 55 percent, Kansas State 50 percent, Iowa State 45 per-

cent, Colorado 43 percent.

Colorado is now is a member of the Pac-12 Conference and Nebraska the Big 10.

Six KU teams earned 100 percent GSR grades for the same four-year time — women’s cross country and track, softball, tennis and volleyball, as well as men’s golf. Overall, KU Athletics’ GSR is 79 percent, its highest mark since the NCAA began releasing this information in 2004.

Last May the NCAA recognized KU’s men’s basketball team — plus the men’s and women’s cross country teams — for achieving perfect four-year Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores of 1,000, a score that places them among the country’s top 10 percent in their respective sports. It marked the second consecutive year those three teams have earned this distinction.

Other figures: baseball 67 percent, football 59 percent, women’s basketball 63 percent, rowing 85 percent, women’s golf 88 percent, soccer 90 percent, and swimming 92 percent.

The APR provides a look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation, providing a measure of each team’s academic performance.

Later this year, the NCAA will release APR rates. If teams score below 925, they may be denied admission to bowl games and the NCAA Tournament. KU associate athletic director Paul Buskirk said KU’s teams were in no danger of falling below that figure.

“I’m proud of the work of our student-athletes,” Buskirk said Tuesday.

KANSAS FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Coaches try to simulate halftime

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With his team having been outscored 149-24 in the third quarter of 12 Big 12 games, Kansas University coach Turner Gill constantly is searching for ways to spark his team.

Tuesday, at his weekly news conference, Gill outlined a new strategy that he said he would employ this week during practice.

“We’re gonna switch up different things,” he said.

“We’re gonna do a couple of things in the second half of our practices to try to simulate a halftime as much as we can. We’ll take a little time off and then come back out and go against each other, No. 1 offense against the No. 1 defense.”

The idea is to create an environment in which the Jayhawks are used to revving the intensity back up after the 15-minute break between halves. In all but one of KU’s games this season, the Jayhawks were leading, tied or in the game at halftime.

The Jayhawks have been ahead at the half twice (McNeese State and Texas Tech), tied once (21-all vs. Northern Illinois), trailed by 10 points or fewer twice (Georgia Tech, 7, and Oklahoma, 10) and, last week, fell behind by 17 to Kansas State. Oklahoma State led Kansas 56-7 at the half during its 70-28 victory in Stillwater, Okla.

With the start of the second half continuing to draw emphasis, Gill made sure to point out that starting fast in each half was crucial.

“The first two possessions of each half, you want to try

or making statements, it’s about doing,” he said. “We’re trying to get our guys to perform. We’re still trying to put it all together.”

With the lid lifted on the accountability questions, media members questioned nearly all aspects of Gill’s program in a search for answers about why the Jayhawks have given up an average of 57 points and 595 yards per game during the current five-game losing streak.

How did he explain the lack of energy in practice during the week leading up the Kansas State game?

“I think that’s the inexperience of our team,” Gill said.

“You’re just trying to get consistency. That’s just part of the process of trying to grow a program and trying to get people on the same page.”

How does he discipline players who don’t execute?

“We do some physical

That’s the area we have really talked about and emphasized as a staff and will continue to do with our football team.”

Webb draws praise With his pass-efficiency numbers placing him second in the Big 12 and 16th in the country, quarterback Jordan Webb is having the kind of season his coaches hoped to see.

Tuesday, offensive coordinator Chuck Long took that a step further in giving rave reviews to his second-year starter.

“I felt, last week, as much as in any game since I’ve

been here, Jordan is starting to become a more polished passer instead of a thrower,” Long said.

It wasn’t just the completions, which went to 10 receivers — with just one dropped pass — that had Long buzzing.

“Jordan threw the ball away three times,” Long said.

“First time he’s really done that. Nothing was there, and he threw it away. He dumped it down. And I felt like he’s starting to polish.”

Webb, who has thrown for 1,408 yards and 12 touchdowns in seven games, completed 21 of 28 passes to up his season completion percentage to 67.1 percent. Last season, in seven starts as a red-shirt freshman, Webb finished with 1,195 yards and seven TDs, as well as a com-

things in practice,” he said.

“We call them reminders, where you do some up-downs after practice or repeat plays.

You talk to them and explain to them what they need to do and how they need to do it.

You do all different types of disciplinary actions to try to change that up, then hopefully they get it.”

After Saturday’s 59-21 loss to in-state rival Kansas State, KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger told a couple of reporters he did not expect anyone to accept KU’s recent struggles and vowed to get things fixed. Asked Tuesday for his reaction to Zenger’s comments, Gill stuck to his message.

“He’s the boss,” he said.

“He’s gonna say what he has to say. I came here to fix something, and that’s what I’m here to do. I still believe in the plan we have intact.”

After the 27-minute session with reporters wrapped and Gill retired to his office, a handful of KU players spoke to the media about this week’s game and the team’s

struggles. Even then, the talk turned to Gill. Unlike their coach, who kept a smile on his face even while answering the toughest questions, the players seemed more bothered by the negativity surrounding their coach.

“It’s amazing,” sophomore cornerback Tyler Patmon said. “I don’t know how many people could take that criticism for that many weeks and still have the same positive attitude as him. We say it in the locker room, other coaches tell us all the time how great of a coach and great of a person he is. It’s amazing that he can do that.”

Added sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb: “We have enough pressure as it is, just for ourselves and for our own pride. But whenever people are saying your coaches’ jobs are on the line, you definitely gotta take that to heart and play a lot harder and I think we’re going to.”

With five games to play and Gill’s seat growing hotter by the week, the Jayhawks appear to be as close as ever

er’s recruits and Arizona,” Carroll, said. “It’s a really tough decision for him — two great programs and head coaches.”

There’s “no time frame,” on a decision, Carroll said.

“When he is 100 percent comfortable then he will make the call (between KU and UA).”

O

Ticket talk: KU associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said the number of tickets available for KU’s Nov. 1 basketball exhibition opener against Pittsburg State as well as selected games during the season number was “less than a couple hundred.” The email sent by KU coach Self to fans informing them tickets are on sale had some wondering whether the Jayhawks had trouble filling the fieldhouse for the 201112 campaign.

“This is the same pattern we have seen the past few years. Each time the tickets are gone before the start of the season,” Marchiony said.

“We have no doubt the same will happen this year.”

Big 12

The Big 12 Conference named 15 Kansas University runners to the 2011 Academic All-Big 12 cross country teams Tuesday.

Six women’s runners were named to the first team — Rebeka Stowe, Cori Christensen, Tessa Turcotte, Allie Marquis, Kathleen Thompson and Devin Wiegers.

Six men’s runners were also honored on the first team — Austin Bussing, Josh Braden, Sean Proehl, Zach Zarda, Jose Munoz and Josh Munsch. Three Jayhawks — Ben Wilson, Conner Day and Josh Harsin — were named to the men’s second team.

In order to qualify for the conference honor, first-team members must have maintained a 3.20 or better GPA. Second-team members consist of those with 3.00 to 3.19 GPAs. Freshmen and transfers are not eligible.

The KU men’s and women’s teams will compete in the Big 12 Cross Country Championships at 10 a.m. Saturday in College Station, Texas.

“

— Kansas State coach Frank Martin Kansas State meet in basketball on Dec. 8.

The Big East distributed $113 million to its 16 all-sports members last year and has yet to ink a new TV deal. Its separate deals for football and basketball expire in 2013.

It’s also a step up in competition for the Mountaineers — at least in football.

No. 25 West Virginia is one of two Big East teams ranked in the AP Top 25, along with No. 24 Cincinnati.

The Big 12 has five teams ranked in this week’s poll, including No. 3 Oklahoma State, and not including perennial power Texas.

Geographically, West Virginia will be by far the easternmost school in the Big 12, 870 miles away from the closest Big 12 school, Iowa State.

West Virginia has been the Big East’s most successful football program since the league lost Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College to the Atlantic Coast Conference in 2004 and ‘05.

The Mountaineers have been to a bowl game every season since and won two BCS games.

Without West Virginia, only one of the original eight schools that made up the Big East’s football conference when it began in 1991 will remain: Rutgers.

ST. LOUIS’ ALBERT PUJOLS, LEFT, AND TEXAS’ MIKE NAPOLI, RIGHT, HAVE BELTED BIG HITS at big moments for their teams in this year’s World Series.

AP Photos

Napoli or Pujols could become this year’s ‘Mr. October’ ST. LOUIS (AP) — Albert Pujols made the first big dent in this World Series, then it was Mike Napoli’s turn.

Bases loaded, eighth inning, tie game. A ballpark full of fans on their feet, “NapOh-Lee” flashing on the scoreboard, crowd chanting his name.

And boy did he deliver. A booming double that put his Texas Rangers one win from their first championship, a gigantic hit that moved him closer to possibly becoming the Series MVP. Napoli and the Rangers can close out the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6 at Busch Stadium tonight. If they do, the catcher who was traded twice within a week in January will be a central part of the lore.

It happens every fall.

Someone steps up — maybe a monster talent like Pujols, perhaps a good player like Napoli given a chance when the stars align. Might even be a fringe guy — Allen Craig for St. Louis this year, Cody Ross for San Francisco the last time around.

A huge swing or two or three, a masterful job on the mound, a sparkling play in the field can do more than win a game. They can create a legacy that lasts forever.

Just ask “Mr. October.”

“It absolutely can define a career,” Reggie Jackson said by telephone this week. “I’m not saying whether that’s right or wrong, but that’s how it happens.

“What year did Babe Ruth

call his shot? 1932? You still see kids out there, calling their shot. That game wasn’t on TV, those kids didn’t see it. But they’ve heard about it, they know about it all these years later.”

Jackson hit a Game 7 home run in a 1973, then earned a nickname for life when he homered three times in the Series-clincher in 1977.

Suppose he’d done a little less, say, hit three balls off the wall at Yankee Stadium on that signature night. Would he still be “Mr. October?”

“Probably not,” he said.

Already a three-time NL MVP, Pujols put on what many called the greatest hitting show in postseason history when he tied Series records with three home runs, six

ST. LOUIS — Manager Tony La Russa is taking full responsibility for the bullpen phone mixup that dearly cost the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.

La Russa says it was entirely his fault that closer Jason Motte wasn’t warming up in the eighth inning Monday night in Texas. The Rangers scored twice for a 4-2 win and took a 3-2 edge in the Series.

The teams were off Tuesday.

During an interview session at Busch Stadium, La La Russa Russa said he twice called to get Motte ready. La Russa says the first time, he might have mentioned Motte after bullpen coach Derek Lilliquist had hung up the phone.

The second time, La Russa says he wanted Motte, but Lilliquist instead heard the name of reliever Lance Lynn.

La Russa says the Cardinals don’t double-check on names during those calls. La Russa

RBIs and five hits during the Cardinals’ romp in Game 3.

Those are Pujols’ only hits in the Series so far, with Texas often pitching around him or issuing intentional walks.

Yet if the Cardinals win the championship, chances are his pulverizing performance will be featured in the highlights for years to come.

Former Dodgers star Orel Hershiser stamped his greatness by going 3-0 with a 1.05 ERA in the postseason and leading Los Angeles to the title in 1988.

“It is fair to judge someone that way because these are the most important games of your life,” Hershiser said at Rangers Ballpark. “That’s the way it is; that’s what October means.”

says he has assured Lilliquist “10 times” the miscommunication was the manager’s fault.

Game 6 forecast: cool, maybe rainy ST. LOUIS — The weather on Tuesday afternoon at Busch Stadium was unseasonably warm — about 80 degrees with the sun shining, though there was a brisk wind.

It sure won’t be like that for Game 6 tonight.

The forecast is for temperatures in the 40s, with a 50 percent chance of showers. That’s actually an improvement over initial forecasts that called for an 80 percent chance of rain.

“We want to make sure conditions are correct, and if we have to wait a day, we’ll wait a day,” Rangers manager Ron Washington said. “But if it’s possible to play, I want to play.”

Asked whether postponing Game 6 would allow ace Chris Carpenter to pitch a deciding Game 7 on three days’ rest, if necessary, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa just smiled and said that although he absolutely wants a Game 7, he wants to be focused on Game 6 first.

Pressure-packed Game 6 doesn’t scare these pitchers ST. LOUIS (AP) — It’s already been a productive postseason for Colby Lewis.

Next up, a shot at the biggest prize yet.

In Game 6 of the World Series tonight, Lewis gets the first chance to pitch the Texas Rangers to their first title. No doubt while pitching oh-so-carefully against Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals, he’ll be leaning on past October triumphs.

“Well, you definitely think when you’re in a kid, you want to be in this position, be on this stage,” Lewis said.

“I think just being in the situation that we were last year throughout the playoffs gives you more of an edge, more relaxation. That’s for sure.”

Jaime Garcia is back home where he’s most comfortable, and the wild-card Cardinals are back in a familiar win-orgo-home mode, heading into a mound rematch from Game 2.

Three of Garcia’s four postseason starts have been at Busch Stadium and the 25-year-old lefty has a 1.93 ERA at home. He outpitched Lewis in the first match-up with seven innings of scoreless, three-hit ball before the bullpen failed in a 2-1 loss.

Garcia was in top form in Game 2 with seven strikeouts and one walk.

“It’s been the same for me the last two months basically, and I’m still going to try to do the same thing. Don’t change anything, don’t try to do too much because this is the World Series. That’s kind of how I feel,” he said.

He doesn’t mind being on the road, getting nine of his 14 wins with a 3.43 ERA, and has been stingy all postseason with a 2.95 ERA. Facing Lewis in Game 2, the Cardinals were limited to one run on four hits with one extra-base hit in 61⁄3 innings.

Manager Ron Washington expects to see the same pitcher again, and is confident there’ll be zero stage fright.

“He totally believes in what he’s trying to do out there,” Washington said. “He never gets away from what he does best. Colby never doubts what he’s capable of

doing, and I think that’s what makes him apart from some guys at this stage.”

Garcia had plenty of mustwin starts in September, steeling him for the postseason. The Cardinals overtook the faltering Braves on the final day of the season and Garcia was a key contributor, going 3-0 the final month.

He doesn’t plan on changing much from his Game 2 start.

“It doesn’t matter which team, which lineup, what part of the season it is,” Garcia said. “It’s just going out there and worrying about the little things that you can control.”

Noodle recipes encompass a variety of flavors Q:

I was unable to attend the “Noodles” presentation that you offered a couple of weeks ago. Were there any recipes shared on making noodles?

Cooking Q&A

A:

Oh yes, Freida Martin and Lola Ford shared their tried-and-true noodle recipe, plus their oldtime favorite, Chicken and Noodles.

Never-Fail Noodles 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 2-1/2 tablespoons milk 1 egg 1/4 teaspoon butter, softened Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.

Make a well in the center. Add the milk, egg, and butter. First mix with a fork. Then with your fingers, mixing until a very stiff dough forms. On a floured surface, roll until very thin. Let stand for 20 minutes. Cut into noodles (or run through a pasta maker). Spread noodles out to dry for two hours. Noodles can be frozen.

Susan Krumm skrumm@oznet.ksu.edu

Chicken and Noodles 4 chicken thighs 2 quarts water 2-4 cups water 3 large carrots, chopped 1/2 cup onion, chopped 3 ribs celery, chopped 3 cubes chicken bouillon 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 times the noodle recipe given above Place chicken and 2 quarts of water in large kettle and cook until the meat is falling from the bones. Cool until it can be handled. Remove the bones and skin from the

chicken. Skim fat off the broth.

Return chicken and broth to a large kettle. Add the additional 4 cups water, vegetables and seasonings. Bring to a rolling boil.

After the chicken and broth has reached boiling, add the noodles. The noodles may be freshly made, or frozen or dried. Stir the broth as you separate the noodles and carefully drop them into the boiling broth. Cook over medium heat for at least 15 minutes until noodles are tender. Salt and pepper to taste.

On the second Monday in October, our Canadian neighbors celebrate their Thanksgiving. It’s a holiday like the American Thanksgiving, but folks also get together any of the days of the three-day weekend.

Because my husband is Canadian, we had a group of friends over.

We had the traditional fare of turkey, dressing, a potato dish and a few other sides.

One friend insisted on bringing a green bean casserole made, of course, with canned French-cut green beans.

It’s always a great time, and the weather has been on our side the past few years.

We ate outside on the deck, and we cooked the turkey on the grill. But, years ago when we didn’t have a crowd over, I turned to serving Cornish game hens. These are great if you’re planning on just a few guests or don’t want to deal with a big turkey and hours of cooking.

Cornish hens also are inexpensive. You will usually find them sold frozen, wrapped individually with two to a package. They are petite (one weighs about 1 to 1 1/4 pounds), and they cook quickly. It’s a good idea to figure one per person for a generous serving, but you can also split them in half for two servings.

To split them, turn them over so they are breast-side down. Cut the back of the hens (a good pair of kitchen shears works best) along each side of the backbone to remove it. Then cut the hen in half along the breastbone.

You also can cook them

without cutting them completely apart — butterflied, in other words. Press down lightly on the breasts to flatten them to help them cook more evenly.

Cornish hens are best oven-roasted or grilled. To guarantee that they stay moist, brine them first. Mix a basic brine of 3/4 cup salt and 1/4 cup sugar dissolved in a gallon of water in a pot large enough to hold the liquid and four small hens. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours. Drain, rinse well and pat dry before roasting.

You can season and flavor these little hens as you would a whole chicken. Today’s recipe calls for a basting sauce made with orange marmalade. Be sure to reserve some of the basting sauce for serving.

salt and pepper to taste.

If you plan on cooking the hens flat, cut them along each side of the backbone and remove it; flatten slightly. Or cut entirely in half at the breastbone. If roasting whole, tie the legs together with kitchen string.

Place the seasoned hens in a baking dish and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

When ready to roast, preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a small saucepan, whisk together the five-spice powder, marmalade or preserves, mustard, orange juice and chicken broth. Heat over medium until the marmalade is melted and the mixture is almost smooth (there will be bits of orange peel from the marmalade).

Divide the sauce in half; set aside one half to serve with the cooked hens. Spray a broiler pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. Place the hens in the Orange-glazed pan, and drizzle with some of Cornish hens the reserved sauce.

Drum roll, please: McRib is back

By Christina Rexrode Associated Press

The McRib, the elusive sandwich that has inspired a cult-like following, is back.

McDonald’s Corp. announced Monday that the boneless barbecue pork sandwich that is not always available in stores will be sold at all U.S. locations through Nov. 14.

It’s usually up to local franchises to determine when and if they want to sell the McRib, except in Germany, the only place where it’s available perennially. But McDonald’s said the response was so great last November when it made the McRib available nationally for about three weeks — the first time it had done so since 1994 — that it decided to bring it back this year. The company declined to give specific sales numbers.

The sandwich, which is dressed with onions, pickle slices and barbecue sauce, was introduced nationally in 1982. With 500 calories and

There are Facebook groups like “Bring Back the McRib!!!” There are Twitter tags, where posts range from “Lucky me, the McRib is back” to “If you eat McRibs, you need to reevaluate what it is you actually want in life.” There’s even the McRib Locator, a website where true believers can report McRib sightings, and even truer be-

If the McRib is so popular, why not just offer it all the time? McDonald’s likes to stoke the enthusiasm with an aura of transience.

“Bringing it back every so often adds to the excitement,” said Marta Fearon, McDonald’s U.S. marketing director, who added that she’s not sure if the McRib will reappear in all stores every fall.

And how can it be called a McRib if it doesn’t have any bones? Said Fearon: “That gives it this quirky sense of humor.”

Apple crostata is as easy as pie

Happy Autumn everybody!

This crisp fall weather has me in the kitchen baking like crazy, which I love. My family loves it, too, of course, because when I’m developing new recipes, “taste-testers” are in high demand around here.

This week as I was reviewing my tried-and-true collection of Ina Garten recipes in preparation for a Best of the Barefoot Contessa class, I came across one of my absolute favorites, an Ina classic: Apple Crostata.

Apple Crostata is the perfect fall dessert, hands down.

It’s the free-form, open-face version of pie: rustic, simple, gorgeous. Pair it with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and I’ll bet you can’t stop with just a single helping.

Eating crostata is fun, too, because you can cut off a crusty wedge and devour it right from your hand (often seen at my house, a tall cold glass of milk in their other hand), or, if the setting is more

formal, serve it dressed up on a plate with a fork for special guests. It’s totally your call.

If your neighbor lady was kind enough to pick you a bushel of apples, why not showcase them in crostata form? She will love your tasty thank-you gift and what delicious treats to have in your freezer stockpile, especially considering crostatas are fun and easy to create, freeze perfectly and can be baked from frozen — something warm and yummy you’ll love this winter when the snow is blowing across the Kansas prairie like it always does.

Below is a quick and easy version of this dessert. Unlike Ina’s, this recipe calls for storepurchased pastry, but feel free to make it from scratch like she does. And please don’t skip the orange zest in this recipe. It brings such a nice burst of brightness to the apples, you’ll see. Sometimes I sneak in a few toasted pecans into the topping for added texture.

Now is the perfect time to plant garlic

By Sarah Henning

Are you one of those people who could slay a vampire with a single exhale?

If you are, it might be wise to spend a bit of time outside in the wind tonight planting garlic before the temperature plummets.

Basically, plant a clove and get a whole bulb back in the spring. Pretty economical, right?

Even better, you don’t have

Journal-World File Photo

to buy any specific type of garlic. Just get a few bulbs of local organic or chemical-free garlic, pop them open and plant

away the cloves. It’ll overwinter, and in the spring, you’ll have a fabulous crop to eat with your spring greens.

Last night, I had been planning to clear out one of my garden beds and plant garlic I bought from Barbara Clark of Maggie’s Farm at the Lawrence Farmers’ Market, but honestly, the kiddo wanted to go for a walk, and what am I going to do, turn him down?

I’m hoping I won’t lose out on my chance to clear out

my pepper plants and plop in some garlic cloves, though I might resort to putting them in pots in the interest of just getting some in before it’s too cold.

Because though we love cooking with garlic in our house, I have to admit, that as a person who can be sort of nutty about nutrition, what I love the most about garlic is its potential health benefits.

Healthy and tasty? Can’t beat that combination.

Then, remove the hot pan from the oven and pour in half the batter.

On top of the batter, arrange your apple slices. Or, if you are like me, just dump them on.

Some people like to place them in a specific pattern, but I am too lazy for that. Be sure to reserve the liquid from the apples — don’t put it in with the batter. Then cover with the rest of the batter.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and a bit of sugar, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.

Serve warm, and drizzle with the reserved apple liquid. Some ice cream aside this would not be a bad thing.

It’s apple season, which usually means apple caramel pie to me, but dang if I haven’t all but given up on apple pies.

They’re always soupy. I know, I know. You’ll say add cornstarch or more flour to the filling. I’ve tried. I don’t know, but it just doesn’t really work for me. Instead of wasting apples and labor-intensive crusts, I decided with this batch of Granny Smiths to make an apple clafoutis. My husband said I made that word up.

A clafoutis is similar to a cobbler, but I think it’s better. Because I like the word clafoutis more than I like the word cobbler. Also, clafoutis is full of eggs, so the batter is custard-y, and I really like eggs.

Have no fear when planning Halloween parties “

By Sarah Henning sarah@lawrence.com

Halloween can be scary fun with just the right people.

If you’re planning to throw a party, we’ve got all you need to do it right.

We talked with Ohio’s Beth Jackson Klosterboer, author of “Hungry Halloween” and the force behind the HungryHappenings.com blog, and Topeka’s Cindy Hopper, who blogs about food and crafts at SkipToMyLou.org and co-owns Sweet!, 717 Mass. Both are big-time party hosts with creativity to spare.

Check out their tips and recipes to make your Halloween gathering so good it’s frightful.

Don’t make it all sweet Hopper says that it’s important to have a little something to help balance out all the sugary treats that are bound to come to the table. She says she’s planning on making Cincinnati chili (chili over noodles) for her party, just to give guests a hearty option to help with the blood sugar spikes.

Klosterboer has done hamburgers shaped like hands (handburgers, get it?), spinach-artichoke dip and various spooky cheese balls to help add in a bit of the hearty and the savory.

Encourage others’ creativity If you do decide to allow guests to bring side dishes, offer a small prize for the most inventive dish says Klosterboer. She normally makes most everything herself, but the year “Hungry Halloween” came out, she was swamped, so she decided to make her party a game.

“I offered a prize, I said, if anybody brings a monster-themed dish, the best dish wins a prize,” Klosterboer says. “And so, it got people excited about bringing something rather than just running to the grocery store and grabbing something.”

It’s in the details It doesn’t take much time, but it’s easy to do little crafty projects to dress up everything from cupcakes to your party spread, says Hopper, who has several ideas up on Skip To My Lou.

PORTRAIT OF A MONSTER SPINACH-ARTICHOKE DIP “Sometimes, it’s just those little added details to the party that make it more festive and memorable,” she says, suggesting cupcake tags or little decorations. “Just don’t overlook the small things you can do that just take a few minutes (and) actually add a little extra to a party.”

Dress up store-bought gifts If you’re a guest who’s not a chef, it’s OK to pick up pre-made cookies or cupcakes from the grocery store.

Just don’t give them to your hostess

in the plastic box, says Hopper. She recommends taking the time to at least transfer the store-bought items from their packaging to a platter.

That way, what you deliver will look nice on your host’s table, and keep her from hunting for a spare platter at the last minute.

Similarly, if you’re a host who isn’t a baker and you’re planning to go with store-bought, consider dressing things up by taking it out of the plastic. Who knows? You might even trick some guests with your treats.

Clafoutis Filling

Consider favors Hopper says she loves giving her 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, guests a little something to take with cored, and thinly sliced them. And not just a fun-size candy.

1/3 cup sugar “I don’t think people should feel 4 tablespoons butter like they have to send something 3 tablespoons cognac (or home, necessarily. But it can be kind brandy) of fun,” Hopper says, suggesting a Please see CLAFOUTIS, page 9B small bucket of apples with a package of caramel sheets and sticks. “A lot of times, I’ll send something for the next morning, like muffins, or something like that.”

Brother concealed overseas marriage

Dear Sister: Tell your brother immediately about the contact with his son, and encourage him to make this right. While it is not your place to inform his current wife (and possibly destroy his marriage), your brother must realize that his son could easily contact another person in the family. He should come clean before someone else does it for him.

suggestion for older persons would be to sign up with an agency that supplies temporary help. The advantage for the employer is that there is no obligation for insurance or other benefits, and it allows a company to evaluate a person and make a job offer if they wish. A less attractive alternative is to market yourself as an independent contractor.

Sadly, 22 said most employers drop years of doing the same thing older workers for economic does not equate to a job level reasons.

I think the biggest single obstacle in finding a job for an older person is the question of insurability. Also, many older people feel they are worth more than the job pays. But pay is based on what that job is worth to the company, not what the applicant deems himself to be worth.

There is also a reluctance to hire people who are significantly overqualified, so applicants should focus only on the requirements for the specific job opening and stress their ability to handle it. Also, an older applicant must be prepared for the inevitable question, no matter how it is worded: If you were such an asset to your last company, why did they let you go? My

Vintage murder mysteries exhumed Fans of British police work should not miss “Whitechapel” (9 p.m., BBC America). It embraces two U.K. traditions with a certain gusto. In the first episode, it recalls the great Victorian mystery of Jack the Ripper. And its story is shot through with the class antagonisms of British society.

Detective Joseph Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones) has his hands full. London is beset by a horrible serial killer, and the fussy, fastidious and relatively untested Chandler faces a squad of angry, resentful officers who seethe at his style and generally ignore his directives. Chief among his troubles is Detective Miles (Phil Davis), a tough cop who considers Chandler a naive, inexperienced paper-pusher whose only knowledge comes from books. Chandler, in turn, is shocked at his officers’ clockwatching and uncouth ways. In one instance, he suggests they start using deodorant.

Miles’ frustrations only grow after Chandler starts listening to a Jack the Ripper expert (Steve Pemberton) and discovering links between the Ripper’s legendary crime spree and his own unsolved murders. Miles dismisses “Ripperologists” with a disdain he holds for occultists and believers in UFOs. But the link between the past and the present takes hold and becomes the narrative hook of the whole series. Over the six-part season, Chandler’s dysfunctional band will take on crimes that have echoes of other notorious murder stories, including the 1960s crime twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray. “Whitechapel” is made by the producers of “Downton Abbey.”

Victorian murder tales have nothing on the “Iceman Murder Mystery” on “NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings).

The mummified victim had been dead more than 5,000 years when he was discovered in 1991 in the Italian Alps and dubbed Otzi the Iceman. A new autopsy may serve up new clues about his violent end.

Scientists surmise that Otzi was either a warrior or a hunter. But just what he was doing so far up in the mountains is anybody’s guess. He did not starve to death, because there is still evidence of his last meal — a big one — in his stomach. The narrators dub this the ultimate “cold case,” and with good reason.

Tonight’s other highlights

The World Series returns to St. Louis (7 p.m., Fox).

The trial of the year kicks off on “Harry’s Law” (8 p.m., NBC).

Claire takes Halloween too far on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

The final wishes of pop star Frankie Lymon (“Why Do Fools Fall in Love?”) spark a court battle on “The Will: Family Secrets Revealed” (8 p.m., ID).

Out of the frying pan on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

A broker’s last deal on “Prime Suspect” (9 p.m., NBC).

The Graysons grow to distrust their security detail on “Revenge” (9 p.m., ABC).

Halloween takes on new meaning in a houseful of ghosts on “American Horror Story” (9 p.m., FX).

On two episodes of “American Hoggers” (A&E): the old lady and the boar (9 p.m.) and pigs on the putting green (9:30 p.m.).

The new direction could completely change your life and prove to be quite rewarding, but it also could be a lot of work, as fall 2012 could reveal. If you are single, you could meet someone quite special. If you are attached, expect to give as much as you take this year. You can count on a fellow Scorpio.

Dear Annie: My eldest brother has a secret. Before he met his wife, he was married and had two children in a country that does not have divorce. This was 25 years ago. The first marriage was very rocky, and my brother left his wife while she was pregnant with their second child. He then met his current wife and moved to the U.S. His current wife doesn’t know anything about the previous marriage.

The eldest son from his first wife, who was 6 when my brother abandoned him, has contacted me. He wants to meet his father. He also is an emotional wreck because of my brother’s behavior. He says he wants to get to know his father and have closure.

I don’t know what to do. — Worried Sister
