School building plans reflect modernized instruction

‘He brought Kansas to the world’

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

Lawrence school board members are now poring over sketches and diagrams of how elementary school classrooms could look at the end of a districtwide renovation project.

Those drawings, presented during a work session Monday night, call for reconfiguring space in existing buildings to create more spacious rooms to accommodate the way teachers manage classrooms today.

“The majority of classrooms in our district were built in the mid-century, 1950s or before,” SCHOOLS architect John Wilkins told the board. “They’re nice classrooms for what they were intended to be, depending on the number of kids you decide to put in those classrooms. And I think each of the schools at one time or another has had a spike in a particular grade level where they’ve had to put a large number of kids in Please see SCHOOLS, page 6A

He was an arctic explorer, a pioneering conservationist and a famed storyteller.

His name was Lewis Lindsay Dyche, and he was an iconic Kansan, Kris Krishtalka says.

“He brought Kansas to the world, and then brought the world back to Kansas,” said Krishtalka, the director of the Kansas University Natural History Museum as well as its Biodiversity Institute.

Escaped sex offender back in custody

Please see DYCHE, page 2A

Less than 24 hours after an escape from a prison transport van in Lawrence, a convicted Colorado sex offender is back in custody.

Deon Gregory Routt, 22, was spotted by police on foot patrol at about 3 p.m. Tuesday near 12th and Indiana streets.

Routt, who escaped from a prisoner transportation van Monday night, fled when officers attempted to contact him. Routt was arrested and sustained minor injuries following a two-block foot pursuit. He was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital before being transported to Routt Douglas County Jail, Lawrence Police Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

On Monday about 5:30 p.m., Routt escaped from a prisoner transport van after the vehicle had stopped near 23rd and Louisiana streets.

Police spent several hours searching the nearby area but were unable to find Routt Monday or Tuesday morning.

The Dyche program

“The Adventures of Lewis Lindsay Dyche and the Advent of Kansas Conservation”: 7 p.m. Nov. 4 in The Commons at Spooner Hall.

Free and open to the public.

Marks the opening of “The Magic Lantern Revisited” exhibit at the KU Natural History Museum, which will include photos from Dyche’s career. The exhibit will be open through 2013.

A reception from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. will offer a preview of the exhibit. The reception is limited to museum members and their guests, and attendees must RSVP by calling the museum at 864-4450 or emailing naturalhistory@ku.edu. Appetizers and wine will be served.

Event sponsored by the museum, KU Memorial Unions and KUhistory.com.

would tour small Kansas towns and thrill residents with tales of his journeys, Sharp said.

“In a world without television or movies or anything, these were a great source of entertainment,” Sharp said.

A flier for an 1894 appearance in Washington, Kan., claimed that Dyche would “hold you entranced and convulse you with his graphic and ludicrous episodes.”

The program Nov. 4 will attempt to re-create the feel of Dyche’s storytelling stops. An actor, Chris Roady, will portray Dyche speaking to one of the crowds. His performance will be interspersed among talks

by Sharp, Krishtalka and Chris Shrack of the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism.

During the 1900s, Dyche served as the state fish and game warden, helping to enforce some of Kansas’ first hunting regulations.

“He was a conservationist of the environment before conservation was a popular term,” Krishtalka said.

Before he became the warden, Dyche knew little about fish, Sharp said. But as soon as he got the job, he studied up on ponds and fish farming, and his bulletins on those subjects ended up being bound into a book and distributed throughout the country as authoritative texts.

“Whatever he did, he just threw himself into it, 100 percent,” Sharp said.

He also led the construction of what was then the largest freshwater fish hatchery in the world, in Pratt (where Shrack now works).

Dyche drew a great deal of public attention for his exploits, Sharp said.

Newspaper cartoons lampooned his hair, which

was unusually long for his time and at one point rankled some members of the Board of Regents.

“The papers just loved this guy, and vice versa,” Sharp said.

Shortly before his death, he landed in their pages again when a poisonous Gila monster lizard bit him while he was showing it off to officials at the Statehouse in Topeka. He quipped that the bite would hurt the Gila monster more than it hurt him.

He died a few days later, but in one final quirky twist his death was unrelated to the bite: The cause was exhaustion and pneumonia.

Altogether, his story is well worth an event in his honor, Sharp said.

“He, in his day, I would say, was really one of the more prominent Kansans,” Sharp said.

Krishtalka said the museum was launching an effort to restore Dyche’s famous panorama, now nearly 120 years old and suffering from more than a century’s worth of wear and tear.

The museum has received an offer for a $50,000 grant from a donor whose identity has not yet been revealed, Krishtalka said, though it will require matching funds from the museum.

To help raise those funds, Krishtalka is planning a tour around the state to make his case for the cause — not unlike those tours Dyche used to take.

“As much as he was a conservationist for North American wildlife, we are now acting as conservationists for his diorama,” Krishtalka said.

BRIEFLY KU room and board rate increase proposed The cost of room and board at Kansas University will increase about 2.54 percent next fall under a proposal before the Kansas Board of Regents.

The proposed rate for a traditional residence hall double room will increase to $3,902, while the cost for the Crimson Flex dining plan will increase to $3,540. That would total $7,442, which is $184 more than the current cost per academic year.

Also starting in fall 2013, each resident would pay student housing $260 for Internet data service instead of paying the Internet provider.

Diana Robertson, director of student housing, said the increases are needed to cover increased operating expenses and continue to make improvements and upgrades.

She said that even with the increases, KU housing and dining rates would remain below Big 12 and national averages.

About 5,000 students live in KU housing.

KU’s request and those of the five other regents universities will be brought to the board during its monthly meeting Nov. 14 and 15.

Dentists to ‘buy back’ candy to send to troops On Nov. 8, Growing Smiles Dentistry, 1425 Wakarusa Drive, Suite D, will be “buying back” Halloween candy from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. by trading a chance in a prize drawing for each pound of candy donated.

The donated candy will be shipped by The UPS Store for free to overseas military personnel. Children are encouraged to write the personnel letters to be sent along with the candy.

Prizes to be raffled off include movie tickets, zoo passes, bowling parties and gift cards.

Kids Voting project still needs volunteers

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

The Kids Voting Douglas County project is still seeking volunteers to work polling places on Election Day. Volunteers would work shifts of about three hours. The shifts begin at 6:45 a.m., 2:45 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Poll workers are needed for these locations and times:

Baldwin Junior High: 6:45 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Baldwin American Legion: 6:45 a.m. and 2:45 p.m.

First Church of the Nazarene, 1470 North 1000 Road: 6:45 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Vinland Church: 6:45 a.m.

Kids Voting is a nationwide project aimed at encouraging young people to become lifelong voters and active participants in community affairs.

The project culminates on Election Day when children of all ages accompany their parents or other adults to official polling places and cast separate, age-appropriate ballots that are tallied and reported after the polls close.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS!

Ruthi Rapp, co-chair of the Douglas County project, said poll workers who staff the evening shifts will tabulate results from their precincts and bring them to the Kids Voting headquarters in the Riverfront Mall, where countywide totals will be tabulated.

The Journal-World will report those totals as they become available.

A 68-year-old rural Lawrence man has been found not guilty by reason of insanity in the October 2011 shooting death of his cousin at a family soybean field near Champaign, Ill. Gerard James, who lives just south of Lawrence, was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Harlan James, 80, Champaign. Harlan was Gerard’s Gerard James cousin, and Gerard was working with Harlan on family-owned property at the time of the shooting.

Gerard’s defense attorney has previously said Gerard shot Harlan because he was afraid of him.

Following an in-patient mental health evaluation, an Illinois judge handed down the decision Monday during a bench trial. Three other charges associated with the case were also dropped. Gerard James could have faced up to life in prison if found guilty.

The judge ordered that James be transferred to the state’s human service department and to an in-patient mental health facility for further evaluation. The courts also now have the option of involuntarily committing to him to in-patient treatment.

Proposed boating measure causing confusion

WICHITA (AP) — Supporters of a Kansas constitutional amendment that would give legislators authority to reduce property taxes on boats say the ballot wording is confusing.

Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Secretary Robin Jennison told The Wichita Eagle that two words on the page-long question are confusing early voters. The question is asking voters to add the words “and watercraft� to the constitution regarding the levying of property taxes.

Part of the problem Jennison is hearing about from voters it the fact the two words are in italic type and hard to notice. “It’s the law,� Jennison said. “It’s a bad deal having to put the whole section of the constitution on the ballot, and it’s a twoword change — ‘and watercraft.’�

Proponents say the change will encourage more Kansas residents to own and register their boats in the state by making tax rates comparable to surrounding states.

For example, Oklahoma charges $150 in property taxes for a boat worth $20,000. The same boat would generate a $750 tax bill in Kansas. “People can sit down, you’d hope, and sort through it if they’ll take the time,� said Jennison, a former speaker of the Kansas House. “What I am really worried about, though, are the ones who come in on Election Day to vote with

Jennison said the change would also encourage Kansas residents to consider purchasing a boat, which would also increase sale tax collections and more revenue for the department through increased registrations.

Man in attempted rape case to stand trial

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

Douglas County District Judge Paula Martin has ordered a 31-year-old man to stand trial on charges of attempted rape and criminal restraint in connection with an alleged incident Aug. 20 at a central Lawrence apartment.

The victim testified Monday during a preliminary hearing that she met the suspect at a downtown Lawrence bar on the evening of Aug. 19. At the bar, the suspect approached the woman several times asking her to dance, but she declined. When the bar closed, the woman left with two other men. The suspect, who was a friend of the other two men, joined them.

The group of four then went to a central Lawrence apartment, where the woman had sexual intercourse with one of the men — not the suspect — in a bedroom, accord-

ing to the woman’s testimony.

That man left the bedroom, and the suspect attacked the woman in the bedroom, choking her and attempting to take off her clothes. The woman resisted and was eventually able to get free and leave the apartment, according to her testimony. Police were called, and the suspect fled.

The woman later identified her attacker during a police interview and photo lineup.

A trial in the case is set for Jan. 22.

The suspect, who is an undocumented immigrant, is being held on a $100,000 bond. He could face up to 20 years in prison on the charges.

The Journal-World generally does not name suspects in sex crimes unless they’re convicted. — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at 832-7173. Follow him at Twitter.com/shaunhittle.

BRIEFLY 16 seat belt violations Judge dismisses issued Friday evening assault charges Lawrence police officers issued 16 seat belt violations Friday evening as part of an ongoing seat belt enforcement action funded by the Kansas Department of Transportation, Lawrence police Sgt. Trent McKinley said.

During the action, officers stopped a total of 18 motorists driving near 19th and Kentucky streets. During one attempted stop, a driver fled from officers and threw drugs from the vehicle.

Police later caught up to the vehicle and made an arrest on charges of drug possession and fleeing and eluding police, among other charges.

The seat belt enforcement program includes funding to pay five officers overtime for four hours, once per month. The program will continue for two years, McKinley said.

Aaron J. Epps was in court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing, but witnesses to the alleged incident did not appear.

Epps’ defense asked for, and was granted, dismissal of the charges.

Epps was accused of threatening a 17-year-old juvenile and another man with a gun during the incident. He also faced a misdemeanor domestic battery count for having physical contact with a woman.

after push by Brownback

TOPEKA (AP) — Gov. Sam Brownback’s emphasis on increasing adoptions in Kansas has been showing promising results, according to new state data.

The Kansas Department of Children and Families says 777 adoptions were finalized in Kansas in the 2012 fiscal year, and another 761 state adoptions were recorded in 2011.

Those are increases from 721 in 2010, although not as high as the 816 in 2009, according to The Topeka Capital-Journal.

Brownback, who has an adopted son and daughter, has made public adoptions a priority, and says the effort hasn’t yet provided “forever families” for all the children who need homes.

“Adoption is a beautiful example of the power of family to change the course of a child’s life,” said Brownback, a Republican. “All children deserve to grow up with parents who love them and are committed to them.”

ON THE RECORD REPORT

Law enforcement officers responded Monday afternoon to a report of a body found near the south end of the Clinton Lake dam, said Douglas County Undersheriff Steve Hornberger.

Officers do not suspect foul play, he said. The body was discovered by a passerby shortly before 2 p.m.

Hornberger said the body was that of a 51-year-old man.

COURT REPORT

Mason Burns, works at a barbecue restaurant, Lenexa “I think they are going to do great because it’s KU. They have great coaching.”

A 24-year-old Eudora man was sentenced Tuesday to a two-year probation term in connection with a broken arm his 4-year-old daughter suffered in April.

Max A. Alcanter, as part of a plea bargain, had previously pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated battery.

The probation sentence handed down by Douglas County District Judge Kay Huff was recommended by both the defense and prosecutors. Huff noted that Alcanter, who had no previous criminal history, attended all of his court and counseling sessions and had received positive feedback from service providers.

HOSPITAL Chris Lofland, works at a barbecue restaurant, Lenexa “They are going to do awesome. Great coaching.”

In Kansas, adoptions that are organized through the state cost almost nothing, while private adoptions can cost up to $30,000. The state also provides free tuition to any state university, community college or vocational school for children adopted after age 16. Kansas allows single adults and gay couples to adopt.

On average, 879 children in state custody have been eligible for adoption during the past five years.

Gina Meier-Hummel, director of prevention and protection services at the Kansas Department for Children and Families, said there are about 900 children at some stage of having parental rights terminated and who will then begin moving through the adoption process. While most of these children have a foster parent or relative who intends to adopt them, nearly 400 don’t have an adoptive relationship and live with that uncertainty.

ACCIDENT REPORT An accident report from an Oct. 19 incident in which a Lawrence man was run over by a vehicle provided additional details about the case.

According to the report, Elbert Davis Jr., 22, of Lawrence, had fallen facedown on North Seventh Street, just north of Ash Street. The report indicates Davis has medical issues and had been drinking alcohol before the fall.

About 1:30 a.m., a Dodge Stratus driven by Wade Briscoe, 21, of Lawrence, turned the corner on Ash Street and headed north on North Seventh Street.

Briscoe ran over Davis, dragging him 56 feet.

Officers suspect Briscoe had been drinking alcohol, and tests were administered. Results of those tests are pending, and Briscoe has not been arrested or charged.

Davis was transported to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka, but a condition update has not been available.

CORRECTIONS U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, said she supports a temporary extension of the wind energy production tax credit and would like to see it phased out as part of comprehensive tax reform that would remove many credits and deductions. A story in Sunday’s paper incorrectly described her position.

“They don’t know necessarily where they’re going to sleep tomorrow, or where they’re going to live in five years or who their parents are going to be,” Meier-Hummel said.

She said there’s no “perfect size or shape” of an adoptive family.

“It’s really based on who has the heart to do this work and wants to take someone into their home, love them and care for them,” MeierHummel said.

after he was barred from doing so because of a 2004 Brown County drug conviction.

As part of the plea agreement, Brooks agreed to cooperate with police and provide information about other burglaries he was involved with. However, Brooks defense attorney said Monday that Brooks would only be providing information about himself, and would not be implicating any other sus-

pects in any cases.

Prosecutors recommended Monday that Brooks be sentenced to 25 months in prison, which would be added to any additional federal prison time Brooks would need to serve for violating federal probation. Brooks is scheduled for sentencing Dec. 4.

Campbell unchallenged in fundraising for Board of Education race

By Peter Hancock phancock@ljworld.com

If campaign fundraising is any indication of a candidate’s strength, then incumbent Carolyn Campbell should have a commanding lead over challenger Jack Wu in the 4th District State Board of Education race.

According to her campaign finance report

Schools CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

those classrooms. When they do that, the classrooms that we have are a little bit on the small side, or at least small in terms of the type of education that our teachers are doing today and will be doing more of in the future.”

Wilkins heads the Lawrence office of Gould Evans and Associates, the architecture and design firm working with the district to develop a master plan for facility upgrades.

In years past, Wilkins said, teachers typically arranged their rooms with students’ desks lined up in straight rows. The teacher would stand in front of the class to deliver a lesson, and all students were expected to focus their attention there.

Today, he said, it’s less common for all students in a room to be working on the same thing at the same time. Classrooms are often broken into smaller work groups, “sometimes led by a teacher or (paraprofessional), sometimes with individualized instruction at computers. So if you look at classrooms that are being built today, it means more elbow room for the kids, more room to use.”

Some of the newer elementary schools in Law-

filed this week, Campbell raised $13,518 between July 27 and Oct. 25. She spent $12,101 during that period, mainly on advertising and printing.

Wu’s financial report shows he did not raise or spend any money on his campaign during that period.

Campbell is a Democrat who is running for a second term after first

rence already are configured for that kind of activity, Wilkins said. But many are not, particularly the six schools in central and East Lawrence that are the focus of building improvement plans: Cordley, Hillcrest, Kennedy, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill.

During the work session, Wilkins showed schematics that he has also shown at public input sessions being held throughout the district. SCHOOLS They depict combining three classrooms into two to provide each class with additional space as well as “breakout” space, or “pods,” where students can work independently or in small groups apart from the rest of the class.

“All of your schools are using breakout for education today, and all of them do it within the classroom,” Wilkins said. “In the schools that have the common-area pods, they’re spending about half their time breaking out in the classroom and half their time breaking out into these common areas.”

To accomplish that kind of arrangement, Wilkins suggested reconfiguring walls and space to effectively combine groups of three classrooms into two.

The middle room in a row of three would be split in

Wu Campbell being elected in 2008. Before that, she served three terms on the Topeka USD 501 Board of Education.

Wu, a Republican, has not run for public office

before. He is a member of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, a congregation led by Fred Phelps Sr., who is known for strident protests against homosexuality and picketing the funerals of soldiers and AIDS victims.

Despite his lack of any traditional campaign operation, Wu has garnered news coverage during the

race through his appearances at candidate forums, including one in Lawrence where he referred to evolution as “a lie from the devil” and said it should not be taught in public schools.

Campbell, who belongs to an African Methodist Episcopal church in Topeka, has said she supports the teaching of evolution and believes in

the separation of church and state.

The issue of evolution is likely to come up next year when the state board considers adoption of a new science curriculum known as the Next Generation Science Standards.

half to provide additional space, including break-out space, for the two rooms on either end.

But some of the newer schools could use some reconfiguration and expansion, too, he said.

For example, he noted that nearly all elementary schools need to upgrade or expand their special education rooms to meet modern standards. That includes having restrooms adjacent to classrooms, as well as other modifications.

Several schools also need security enhancements, he said, so visitors entering the building cannot pass into halls or rooms without being seen from the administrative office.

As recently as 2011, the six older schools in central and east Lawrence were targeted for closure or consolidation so that money for renovation and expansion could be focused on fewer sites.

But a community task force charged with drawing up specific plans for closure and consolidation ultimately rejected that idea. In a report released in February, that group recommended keeping all 14 of the district’s elementary schools open. It also recommended a capital improvement plan that would bring those schools up to the same standard as newer schools in the district to achieve equity among all the buildings.

Part of that group’s rationale was that enrollment in the six schools appeared to be growing faster than previously projected, so consolidating them into three or four buildings would result in crowded classrooms and the need for new construction to expand the remaining schools.

“In light of enrollment projections, any closing scenario would require a large-scale building effort to replace closed classrooms and accommodate students from closed schools, and the cost of this construction would be considerably greater than the cost of upgrades to the existing schools,” the report stated.

According to official enrollment figures from the Kansas State Department of Education, between the 2009-10 school year and this year, enrollment has declined in four of the six schools: Cordley, New York, Pinckney and Sunset Hill. Of those, New York School saw the biggest decline. It lost 123 students during that time, or about 41 percent. Sunset Hill’s enrollment has declined by only five students, or 1.7 percent.

Hillcrest enrollment has added 29 students during that period, or 8.6 percent. Kennedy is up 48 students, or 14.2 percent.

The plans outlined Monday night, however, would appear to have a similar

effect on overall district space by reducing the number of classrooms that currently exist in each of those buildings, thus making it necessary to expand at least some of them.

Meanwhile, some of those buildings would need to be expanded further still by adding more classrooms to meet the goal of having at least two full classrooms for each grade level, and by eliminating portable buildings with permanent structures as well as providing them with separate gymnasiums and cafeterias.

The purpose of the work session was to get guidance from the school board about whether to proceed along those lines or change the direction of the planning.

None of the board members suggested scaling back or amending the plans.

The board hopes to decide by Jan. 1 on a final master plan, as well as a dollar amount for a bond issue that would fund the projects.

In addition to the building renovations, the bond issue also would include districtwide technology upgrades.

The board then plans to ask voters to approve the bond issue during the April municipal elections.

Disarray, millions without power in Sandy’s wake

By Ted Anthony Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — The most devastating storm in decades to hit the country’s most densely populated region upended man and nature as it rolled back the clock on 21st-century lives, cutting off modern communication and leaving millions without power Tuesday as thousands who fled their water-menaced homes wondered when — if — life would return to normal.

A weakening Sandy, the hurricane turned fearsome superstorm, killed at least 50 people, many hit by falling trees, and still wasn’t finished. It inched inland across Pennsylvania, ready to bank toward western New York to dump more of its water and likely cause more havoc Tuesday night.

Behind it: a dazed, inundated New York City, a waterlogged Atlantic Coast and a moonscape of disarray and debris — from unmoored shore-town boardwalks to submerged mass-transit systems to delicate presidential politics.

“Nature,” said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, assessing the damage to his city, “is an awful lot more powerful than we are.”

More than 8.2 million households were without power in 17 states as far west as Michigan. Nearly 2 million of those were in New York, where large swaths of lower Manhattan lost electricity and entire streets ended up underwater — as did seven subway tunnels between Manhattan and Brooklyn at one point, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said.

The New York Stock Exchange was closed for a second day from weather, the first time that has happened since a blizzard in 1888. The shutdown of mass transit crippled a city where more than 8.3 million bus, subway and local rail trips are taken each day, and 800,000 vehicles cross bridges run by the transit agency.

ROBERT CONNOLLY, LEFT, embraces his wife, Laura, as they survey the remains of the home owned by her parents in the Breezy Point section of New York Tuesday. A fire swept through the community during superstorm Sandy.

Storm’s cost may hit $50B WASHINGTON (AP) — Superstorm Sandy will end up causing about $20 billion in property damages and $10 billion to $30 billion more in lost business, according to IHS Global Insight, a forecasting firm.

In the long run, the devastation the storm inflicted on New York City and other parts of the Northeast will barely nick the U.S. economy. That’s the view of economists who say a slightly slower economy in coming weeks will likely be matched by reconstruction and repairs that will contribute to

growth over time.

The short-term blow to the economy, though, could subtract about 0.6 percentage point from U.S. economic growth in the October-December quarter, IHS said. Retailers, airlines and home construction firms will likely lose some business.

The storm cut power to more than 8 million homes, shut down 70 percent of East Coast oil refineries and inflicted worse-than-expected damage in the New York metro area. That area produces about 10 percent of U.S. economic output.

AN UNIDENTIFIED MAN WALKS THROUGH the snow among campaign signs Tuesday in Hurricane, W.Va. The city of Hurricane was covered in snow from the western edge of superstorm Sandy. The National Weather Service said over a foot of snow was reported in lower elevations of West Virginia, where most towns and roads are. ABOVE RIGHT: A parking lot full of yellow cabs is flooded as a result of superstorm Sandy on Tuesday in Hoboken, N.J. around New York could take a week to restore.

“Everybody knew it was coming. Unfortunately, it was everything they said it was,” said Sal Novello, a construction executive who rode out the storm with his wife, Lori, in the Long Island town of Lindenhurst, and ended up with 7 feet of water in the basement.

The scope of the storm’s damage wasn’t known yet. Though early predictions of river flooding in Sandy’s inland path were petering out, colder temperatures made snow the main product of Sandy’s slow march from the sea.

Parts of the West Virginia mountains were blanketed with 2 feet of snow by Tuesday afternoon, and drifts 4 feet deep were

reported at Great Smoky Mountains National Park on the Tennessee-North Carolina border.

With Election Day a week away, the storm also threatened to affect the presidential campaign.

Federal disaster response, always a dicey political issue, has become even thornier since government mismanagement of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. And poll access and voter turnout, both of which hinge upon how people are affected by the storm, could help shift the outcome in an extremely close race.

Images from around the storm-affected areas depicted scenes reminiscent of big-budget disaster movies. In Atlantic City, N.J., a gaping hole

remained where once a stretch of boardwalk sat by the sea. In Queens, N.Y., rubble from a fire that destroyed as many as 100 houses in an evacuated beachfront neighborhood jutted into the air at ugly angles against a gray sky. In heavily flooded Hoboken, N.J., across the Hudson River from Manhattan, dozens of yellow cabs sat parked in rows, submerged in murky water to their windshields. At the ground zero construction site in lower Manhattan, seawater rushed into a gaping hole under harsh floodlights.

One of the most dramatic tales came from lower Manhattan, where a failed backup generator forced New York University’s Langone Medical Center to relocate more than 200 patients, including 20 babies from neonatal intensive care. Dozens of ambulances lined up in the rainy night and the tiny patients were gingerly moved out, some attached to battery-powered respirators as gusts of wind blew their blankets.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable

Nebraska environmental regulators have released a preliminary 600-page report on the oil pipeline a Canadian company wants to build across the state.

The report released Tuesday doesn’t include a recommendation about whether TransCanada should be allowed to build the Keystone XL pipeline to ship crude oil to Gulf Coast refineries.

The state report says TransCanada’s new route avoids the environmental sensitive Sandhills region and addresses a number of concerns Nebraskans raised.

U.S. home prices rise in August at faster pace

By Christopher S. Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Home prices rose in August in nearly all U.S. cities, and many of the markets hit hardest during the crisis are starting to show sustained gains. The increases are the latest evidence of a steady housing recovery.

The Standard & Poor’s/ Case Shiller index reported Tuesday that national home prices increased 2 percent in August compared with the same month a year ago. That’s the third straight increase and a faster pace than in July.

The report also said that prices rose in August from July in 19 of the 20 cities tracked by the index. Prices had risen in all 20 cities in the previous three months.

Cities that had suffered some of the worst price declines during the housing crisis are starting to come back. Prices in Las Vegas rose 0.9 percent, the first year-over-year gain since January 2007.

Prices in Phoenix are 18.8 percent higher in August than a year ago. Home values in Tampa and Miami have also posted

solid increases over the period.

Seattle was the only city to report a monthly decline. Still, prices there fell just 0.1 percent in August from July and are 3.4 percent higher than a year ago.

Prices in Atlanta have fallen 6.1 percent over the 12 months that ended in August, the largest yearover-year decline. But Atlanta has posted the largest price gain among the 20 cities over the past three months, according to Trulia, a housing data analysis firm.

“The sustained good news in home prices over the past five months makes us optimistic for continued recovery in the housing market,” said David Blitzer, chairman of the Case-Shiller index.

The steady increase in prices, along with the lowest mortgage rates in decades, has helped many home markets slowly rebound nearly six years after the housing bubble burst.

Rising home prices encourage more people to put their homes on the market. They may also entice would-be buyers to purchase homes before prices rise further.

Romney, GOP plunging onto Democratic turf

By Brian Bakst and Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Mitt Romney is suddenly plunging into traditionally Democratic-leaning Minnesota and Pennsylvania, and his GOP allies are trying to put Michigan into play. It’s forcing President Barack Obama to defend his own turf — he’s pouring money into television ads in the states and dispatching top backers — in the campaign’s final week.

The question is: Why this Republican move?

GOP efforts in the trio of Rust Belt states could indicate that Romney is desperately searching for a last-minute path to the needed 270 Electoral College votes — without allimportant Ohio. Or just the opposite, that he’s so confident in the most competitive battlegrounds that

he’s pressing for insurance against Obama in what’s expected to be a close race.

Or perhaps the Republican simply has money to burn. Use it now or never.

Former President Bill Clinton was dispatched in response on Tuesday. “Barack Obama’s policies work better,� he declared on the University of Minnesota campus, one of his two stops in a state that offers 10 electoral votes and hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential candidate since Richard Nixon in 1972.

This late-game expansion of a campaign playing field that, until now, had focused on just nine states was taking place exactly a week from Election Day. At the same time, Obama spent a second day in Washington to focus on his presidential duties and Romney edged back into active campaigning in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy.

“This is a tough time for millions of people ... but America is tougher,� the president said during a brief visit to the American Red Cross, where he sought to reassure victims, encourage aid workers — and warn of more storm damage to come with rising floodwater.

In Ohio, Romney, too, spoke of concern for storm victims, telling supporters who were collecting supplies that “a lot of people hurting this morning.�

Beyond the candidates’ pause from feverish campaigning, the impact of the storm on the election wasn’t all that clear.

National polls show an even race for the popular vote, though Obama appears to have both an edge in key battleground states in the electoral vote hunt and more state-by-state pathways to reach the 270-vote threshold.

Ballot measures include divisive issues

By David Crary Associated Press

NEW YORK — After all the economy-focused campaign talk, voters in some states will get a chance on Election Day to sound off on intriguing topics that the presidential rivals ignored, including death-penalty repeal, marijuana legalization and assisted suicide.

In all, there are 176 measures on the Nov. 6 ballots in 38 states, according to the Initiative and Referendum Institute at the University of Southern California.

Many are technical proposals by legislators related to state finances and regulations. Others, however, are dramatic and highly divisive measures that would — if approved — be historic milestones for U.S. social policy.

Any of three states — Maine, Maryland and Washington — could become the first to legalize same-sex marriage through a popular vote, a potentially momentous development that could influence future Supreme Court deliberations on the issue. Thus far, all 32 states with referen-

GAY MARRIAGE SUPPORTERS GATHER AT A RALLY outside of City Hall in Portland, Maine, on Sept. 10 in support of an upcoming ballot question that seeks to legalize samesex marriage. After all the economy-focused campaign talk, voters in some states will get a chance on Election Day to sound off on intriguing topics that the presidential rivals ignored, including gay marriage, death-penalty repeal, marijuana legalization and assisted suicide. dums on gay marriage have rebuffed it, while the six states that have legalized it did so through legislation or court orders.

Washington is in another three-state group, with Oregon and Colorado, that could become the first to legalize recreational use of marijuana — allowing adults to possess small amounts of pot under a regimen of state

regulation and taxation.

The Oregon proposal appears to be fizzling, but the Washington and Colorado measures have led in opinion polls and are backed by wealthy out-ofstate donors.

A “yes� vote in any of the states could set up a showdown with the federal government, which continues to consider pot an illegal drug. The Justice Depart-

ment has declined to elaborate on how it would react.

Another emotionally charged measure in Massachusetts would legalize physician-assisted suicide.

Massachusetts would join Oregon and Washington in allowing terminally ill patients to obtain lethal doses of medication if doctors say they have six months or less to live.

The measure raises “the most profound questions that an individual can wrestle with,� said the Rev. Tim Kutzmark, of Reading, Mass., a Unitarian Universalist minister who shifted from a foe of assisted suicide to a supporter after watching a close friend slowly die from Parkinson’s disease in 2002.

California labor unions are the target of another measure, aimed at depriving them of tens of millions of dollars they use to finance campaigns and political organizing.

Proposition 32 would prohibit corporations and unions from collecting money for state political activities from employees or members through paycheck deductions.

DISHONEST!,� disrupting regular programs for up to 15 minutes at a time. Mountains of political fliers — glossy sophisticated sheets with invective stamped all over them — spill from mailboxes. Answering machines are jammed with messages from candidates or their surrogates, annoying some people so much they have turned off their phones until after the election.

Add to that the massive traffic snarls every time a presidential candidate comes to town, which

There’s a television screen blinking in the back of the eatery. But these days, owner Sarah Arrowsmith keeps it on mute.

The relentless onslaught of political ads, she says, are

driving her customers — most of them older, drawn by both the homey atmosphere and the 10 percent senior discount — crazy. “One more negative ad and the fists will be flying,� Arrowsmith said. “Or at least the dentures.�

With its 18 electoral votes, Ohio is considered “the battleground of battleground states,� as Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan recently called it, which is why both parties are devoting such huge amounts of money, time and energy here.

BRIEFLY Panel probes support of Colorado company DENVER — Emails between an independent consultant and the Obama administration suggest the consultant felt pressure to help arrange a loan guarantee for a Colorado solar panel manufacturer that later went bankrupt.

The House Committee on Energy and Commerce asked the administration this month to explain what the U.S. Department of Energy knew about problems with a $400 million federal loan guarantee awarded to Abound Solar.

The Loveland-based company filed for bankruptcy protection this summer and laid off about 125 workers after spending approximately $70 million of its loan guarantees.

An Abound spokesman didn’t return phone calls seeking comment.

Activists: Airstrikes in Syria kill 23 BEIRUT — Airstrikes by Syrian jets and shells from tanks leveled a neighborhood in a restive city near the capital of Damascus on Tuesday, killing 18 people, and at least five rebel fighters died nearby in clashes with regime troops, activists said.

The airstrikes on the city of Douma, northeast of the capital, left residents scampering over a huge expanse of rubble and using their hands to dig up mangled bodies, according to activist videos posted online.

In the past weeks, anti-regime activists say about 150 people have been killed a day in fighting. Since the uprising against President Bashar Assad began in March 2011, they say 35,000 have died.

JAPAN

Rebuilding money spent on unrelated projects

By Elaine Kurtenbach Associated Press

SENDAI, JAPAN — About a quarter of the $148 billion budget for reconstruction after Japan’s March 2011 tsunami and nuclear disaster has been spent on unrelated projects, including subsidies for a contact lens factory and research whaling.

The findings of a government audit buttress complaints over shortcomings and delays in the reconstruction effort.

More than half the budget is yet to be disbursed, stalled by indecision and bureaucracy, while nearly all of the 340,000 people evacuated from the disaster zone remain uncertain whether, when and how they will ever resettle.

Many of the nonreconstruction-related projects loaded into the 11.7 trillion yen, or $148 billion, budget were included on the pretext they might contribute to Japan’s economic revival, a strategy that the government now acknowledges was a mistake.

“It is true that the government has not done enough and has not done it adequately. We must listen to those who say the reconstruction should be the first priority,” Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said in a speech to parliament on Monday.

He vowed that unre-

lated projects will be “strictly wrung out” of the budget.

But ensuring that funds go to their intended purpose might require an explicit change in the reconstruction spending law, which authorizes spending on such ambiguous purposes as creating eco-towns and supporting “employment measures.”

Among the unrelated projects benefiting from the reconstruction budgets are: road building in distant Okinawa; prison vocational training in other parts of Japan; subsidies for a contact lens factory in central Japan; renovations of government offices in Tokyo; aircraft and fighter pilot training, research and production of rare earths minerals, a semiconductor research project and even funding to support whaling, ostensibly for research, according to data from the government audit released last week.

A list of budget items and spending shows some 30 million yen ($380,000) went to promoting the Tokyo Sky Tree, a transmission tower that is the world’s tallest freestanding broadcast structure.

Another 2.8 billion yen ($35 million) was requested by the Justice Ministry for a publicity campaign to “reassure the public” about the risks of big disasters.

Disney to buy Lucasfilm, make new ‘Star Wars’ films

By Ryan Nakashima Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A decade since George Lucas said “Star Wars” was finished on the big screen, a new trilogy under new ownership is destined for theaters after The Walt Disney Co. announced Tuesday that it would buy Lucasfilm Ltd. from him for $4.05 billion.

The seventh movie, with a working title of “Episode 7,” is set for release in 2015. Episodes 8 and 9 will follow. The trilogy will continue the story of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia beyond “Return of the Jedi,” the third film released and the sixth in the saga. After that, Disney plans a new “Star Wars” movie every two or three years. Lucas will serve as creative consultant in the new movies.

“I’m doing this so that the films will have a longer life,” Lucas, the 68-year-old creator of the series and sole owner of Lucasfilm, said in an interview posted on YouTube. “I get to be a fan now ... I sort of look forward to it.

Robert A. Iger, left, The Walt Disney Co. chairman and CEO, and George Lucas, Lucasfilm chairman and founder It’s a lot more fun actually, than actually having to go out into the mud and snow.”

Disney CEO Bob Iger said Lucasfilm had already developed an extensive storyline on the next trilogy, and Episode 7 was now in early-stage development. He said he talked with Lucas about buying the company from him a year and a half ago, but they didn’t decide on a deal until very recently as Lucas set in motion his retirement.

“The last ‘Star Wars’ movie release was 2005’s ‘Revenge of the Sith’ — and we believe there’s substantial pent-up demand,” Iger said.

The blockbuster deal announced Tuesday will see Disney pay half the acquisition price in cash and half in newly issued stock.

The company expects it to add to earnings in 2015 and said that as an example of its earnings power, Lucasfilm made $550 million in operating income the year “Sith” came out.

Along with the cash, Lucas will end up owning about 40 million Disney shares, which is about 2.2 percent of the 1.83 billion shares that will be in circulation when the transaction closes. Disney did not say when that would happen.

The deal includes Lucasfilm’s prized high-tech production companies, Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound, as well as rights to the “Indiana Jones” franchise.

Lucasfilm will continue to be headquartered in San Francisco’s Presidio park, and employees are to remain in their current locations. Disney has its headquarters in Burbank, Calif., near Los Angeles.

Amphitheater about-face Would Lawrence residents prefer an amphitheater in an athletics park or one in a scenic location?

I

t appears city officials are dumping the dream for an outdoor amphitheater at Sesquicentennial Point northeast of the Clinton Reservoir dam for an amphitheater in the soon-to-be developed Rock Chalk athletic complex at the city’s northwest corner.

Sesquicentennial Point overlooks Clinton Reservoir, the Wakarusa Valley and what could be one of the finest park lands and greenswards in the country.

This park would extend from Clinton Dam east to Apparently, it’s full the youth speed ahead for the sports fields and connect athletics park and to the Baker the accompanying Wetlands. major retail develop- The Sesments ...

It is a great site, one that the city’s Parks and Recreation Department helped get started. It has attracted more than $200,000 in private funds to help develop.

City officials have said the lack of power and water at this location is a severe handicap and that chances for developing an amphitheater are slim, very slim.

They now favor an amphitheater that developers of the athletic park are proposing. It would be used by Kansas University, KU Athletics and local groups, when it is not in use by the athletics department at KU. The grandiose Rock Chalk park idea is indeed grand, but would Lawrence residents rather have an amphitheater as part of an athletic park or one that overlooks a beautiful and scenic valley and one dedicated to the history of Lawrence?

At this date, city officials favor the athletic park, turning their backs on the Lawrence Sesquicentennial Commission, Sesquicentennial Point development and those who have made private gifts to recognize significant dates in the city’s history and as seed money to help get the amphitheater site started.

Apparently, it’s full speed ahead for the athletics park and the accompanying major retail developments, a joint effort by the KU Athletics Department, the city of Lawrence, the KU Endowment Association and private developers.

Never mind the possible negative impacts on downtown Lawrence and/or to other projects such as Sesquicentennial Point and the amphitheater.

For GOP, life is sacred, except when not “… And I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”

— Richard Mourdock, GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate

Life is sacred.

That, Mourdock would later insist, was what he was trying to say last week during a debate with his opponents. Instead, he became the latest in a growing list of conservatives to trip over women’s bodies. The Indiana Republican said he didn’t mean it the way it sounded, i.e., that rape is something God intends or approves. Rather, his point was that “Life is precious.

I believe (that) to the very marrow of my bones.” His party agrees. This year, the GOP adopted — again — a platform under which no woman could ever legally have an abortion. Not if she was impregnated by her own father. Not if she was raped. Not if the abortion were needed to save her life. Never. Because life is sacred.

And that leaves you wondering: What about the 12-year-old girl who has grown up dreading the midnight creak of her bedroom door, the weight settling above her, the whispered assurances that “This is our secret.”

What about this sixth-

Mourdock and other conservatives frequently tout the sacredness of life, but they seem to have a rather narrow definition thereof. They seem to consider life sacred only until the umbilical cord is cut.” grader whose barely adolescent breasts are suddenly swollen and who wakes up racing for the toilet every morning, sick to her stomach? Is her life sacred?

What about the co-ed who can still feel the stranger’s hands forcing her knees apart, still feel his hot breath on her cheek, the lashing whip of his curses, that terrible moment of penetration, invasion, violation and bitter, impotent rage?

What about this student who now holds the home pregnancy test strip in her

hand, watches it change colors and feels, as she slips to her knees on the bathroom floor with that hateful seed growing in her womb, as if she was just raped all over again? Is her life sacred?

What about the mother of three, just diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, the woman whose doctor says she needs chemotherapy immediately if she is to have any hope of survival.

What about the agonizing decision she must now make, to refuse chemo, knowing it will mean dying and abandoning her existing children, or to take the drug, knowing it will kill the child she carries inside? Is her life not sacred?

It doesn’t seem to be, at least, not in the formulation embraced by the Grand Old Party. In that formulation, women are bystanders to their own existence, their individual situations subordinate to a one-size-fits-all morality, their very selves unimportant, except as vessels bearing children.

For that matter, the children themselves, once born, are not particularly sacred, especially if they have the misfortune to be born into less-than-ideal circumstances, situations where they might need help from the rest of us. But you see, “life” is not just the fact of existence. The term refers

also to the nature and quality of that existence. So if we truly hold life sacred, we do not balance budgets by denying funding to programs that feed hungry children.

We do not look the other way when kids have no access to health care. We do not countenance easy gun availability that makes the playground a war zone. We do not put up with child welfare agencies where tragedies routinely befall children who are always said to have “fallen between the cracks.”

Mourdock and other conservatives frequently tout the sacredness of life, but they seem to have a rather narrow definition thereof.

They seem to consider life sacred only until the umbilical cord is cut. So for all its moral earnestness, their argument against abortion rights always manages to go too far and yet, not nearly far enough. If life is sacred when it is in the womb, well, it is also sacred when it is not.

Note: In a recent column, I described George McGovern as a World War II fighter pilot. The late former senator actually flew bombers during the war.

PUBLIC FORUM

Complex issues

Emergencies bring out best, worst Like millions of Americans I have been watching the progress of Superstorm Sandy for the past few days out of concern for those people in the path of the storm and, perhaps, out of a bit of morbid curiosity. As I have watched I have been particularly interested to see how state and local authorities, as well as the federal government, have been preparing to deal with the storm.

As many people remember from Hurricane Katrina, state and local governments have often done far better than FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which deals with damaging storms. So far it seems as though everybody, from county and city officials all the way to regional FEMA officials, has been doing a decent job. I have been particularly impressed by Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City. I thought that their responses to the storm and their announcements to the public were well done.

As I write this column it is 7:30 on Tuesday morning. Sandy has already done a great deal of damage. The news reports that more than 16,000,000 people in the Northeastern United States are without electricity and that property damage, particularly in coastal regions, has been massive. The good news is that, as of now, only 16 deaths have been reported. Certainly, this is due, in part, to the meteorologists who forecast the path of the

But, in an emergency, every individual has an obligation to follow evacuation orders.” storm, the government officials who ordered politically difficult evacuations of areas in the most danger of flooding, and the police, firefighters and emergency workers who put their own lives at risk to ensure that people in danger were rescued.

I have also been impressed by the many folks from other states, including Kansas, who have rushed to the Northeast to help with rescue and reconstruction efforts. As we learned during 9/11, there are many heroes living among us.

At the same time, I have been saddened by those individuals in threatened areas who were ordered to evacuate and who refused to do so. I was particularly struck

by the videos coming out of New York City last night that showed people walking in flooded streets and driving cars through flooded areas despite Mayor Bloomberg’s order to evacuate.

Regular readers of this column will know that I am a strong believer in individual rights and am skeptical of government intrusion in private matters. But, in an emergency, every individual has an obligation to follow evacuation orders. It’s not simply a matter of private decision as to whether a person is willing to risk injury or death by staying in place. When someone refuses to evacuate, that puts every police officer, firefighter and emergency worker at risk as well because those are the folks who will have to go out and rescue the individuals who voluntarily put themselves in harm’s way. In my opinion, such selfish behavior is unacceptable. Even worse are those people who stay behind and then deliberately go outside and drive, thereby risking that their cars will be stranded and actually block emergency vehicles from reaching those who need to be rescued.

Emergencies and natural disasters bring out the best in people and the worst in people. One can only hope that those who acted selfishly have not harmed those who risked their own lives to save others.

— Mike Hoeflich, a distinguished professor in the Kansas University School of Law, writes a regular column for the Journal-World.

To the editor: Over the past several decades the multinational corporations in America, often with the blessings of the government, have formed complex relationships, closed down American businesses and moved jobs out of this country to foreign countries to exploit much cheaper labor, and have even convinced the American government to wage wars on their behalf.

They want a world where there are only two classes: the super-rich and the poor.

Beware of the new world order. Their greatest weapon is infecting governments with corruption. Campaign finance reform must be enacted, or the new world order will turn us all into lowwage slaves. So when you vote here in America, beware of the American multi-industrial corporation complexes, some of which are:

Coal, oil, and utility energy industrial complex

Military industrial complex

Media and telecommunications complex

Wall Street and financial complex

Corporate farm and ranch complex

Manufacturing-industrial complex

Sports and entertainment complex These are just a few of the complexes making up the portfolio of the super-rich (the 1 percent). These are intertwined with and represent the many instruments that the rich use to stay in power, and to control the American government and the individual state governments, and thereby we-the-people. The super-rich at the top thrive on subverting the American way of government and have little or no regard for the rest of the American people. Let’s keep the U.S. Constitution close to our hearts when we vote.

KANSAS 88, EMPORIA STATE 54

Blasting off

Ellis had a ball in debut

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University freshman forward Perry Ellis, who didn’t crack even the hint of a smile during his highly productive majorcollege debut Tuesday night, insists he had a blast during the Jayhawks’ 88-54 exhibition rout of Emporia State in Allen Fieldhouse.

“I don’t really show much emotion, but I had a lot of fun out there, man,” the 6-foot-8, 225-pound Wichita Heights graduate said after scoring 15 points off 5-of-5 shooting and 5-of7 free-throw shooting Q For more and grabphotos bing seven from KU’s rebounds in exhibition just 16 minopener, utes. go to “I mean, KUSports. we’ve got com guys on this team who have been working hard since the summer. It was a lot of fun. I’m just happy to be out there.”

Ellis admits he was extraenthused playing his KU debut with his mom, Fonda; dad, Will; younger brothers Brae and Cameron; older sister, Savannah; AAU coach, Steve Young; and high school coach, Joe Auer, in the stands.

“It means a lot that my family gets to see me,” said Ellis, who scored eight points and grabbed six boards the first half in helping KU to a 42-21 lead. “It’s not too far (from Wichita). It’s a great feeling they came tonight to support me.”

While Fonda was proud of her oldest son — “great production, I thought,” she said — she was not alarmed at his lack of emotion during the debut.

“He’s got that poker face.

He’d be a good poker player,” she said while watching Perry sign autographs in the northwest tunnel after the contest.

Guard shows high ceiling Arms that fall so close to the floor rank as the first eye-grabber that makes your imagination race as to Kansas University red-shirt freshman Ben McLemore’s ceiling as a basketball player.

And then the game started, and McLemore made a smooth cut, received the back-door pass from Jeff Withey and flushed it 10 seconds into the game. That’s how long it took him to show he has that glide that screams “elite athlete.”

Then Ben drove and missed a shot, and in a blink was back above the rim getting the rebound. If we didn’t know about that thing called gravity, our eyes could have convinced us that he jumped a second time without ever landing.

He did land, did he not? Of course he did. Right? Must have.

It’s usually a good sign when a shooter swishes a deep jumper with so little effort you could have sworn it was a 10-footer, the way McLemore did for three of his 11 points in Monday night’s 88-54 exhibition victory against Emporia State in packed Allen Fieldhouse.

The same soft touch McLemore showed there resurfaced early in the second half when he hit a jumper inside the free-throw line. He sprints the floor like a Big 12 wide receiver and has hands for that position as well.

(Charlie Weis wasn’t there so see it, no doubt occupied by the challenge of a crashcourse wishbone installation.)

SM East ends LHS soccer season ———

Lions smarting after falling to Lancers, 1-0, in Class 6A state quarterfinals

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

OVERLAND PARK — Lawrence High soccer players Justin Riley and Parker Davies lay on the Shawnee Mission District Soccer Complex field Tuesday night, staring up into the dark night, each with his hands on his face. A few yards away, teammate Conner Murphy squatted and stared at the ground.

Reiber and fellow senior captain Riley produced the team’s only two first-half shots, and the offensive drought continued in the second half.

TODAY â&#x20AC;˘ Soccer vs. Texas Tech at Big 12 at San Antonio, 2 p.m.

Cassel to start for Chiefs in S.D. KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Cassel is getting another chance to be the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; starting quarterback.

Cassel will start Thursday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at San Diego because Brady Quinn has not been cleared to practice due to a concussion, regaining the starting job â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least for one week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that he lost after a dismal fivegame stretch to start the season.

Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel announced Tuesday that Quinn will not be available, and that Ricky Stanzi will serve as the backup. Fullback Nate Eachus was also ruled out because of a concussion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will continue with their testing and evaluation and will return when the doctor releases them, and lets us know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re OK,â&#x20AC;? said Crennel, adding that doctors havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told him how long Quinn might be out.

Cassel was scuffling along until he sustained his own concussion a few weeks ago against Baltimore. Quinn took over for a loss to Tampa Bay, and Crennel made the move permanent during the bye week in hopes of igniting a struggling offense.

He never got much chance to see whether it worked.

Quinn was hurt in the first quarter of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 26-16 loss to the Oakland Raiders, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear when the injury occurred. He was sacked by Rolando McClain and then took another shot while floating a pass that was picked off by Matt Giordano.

Quinn left the field and went down the tunnel leading to the locker rooms, and Crennel said a trainer told him at that point that Quinn had sustained a â&#x20AC;&#x153;head injuryâ&#x20AC;? and was unavailable.

By Chris Dufresne Los Angeles Times

This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very impatient, 6-year-old kid-like, takeaway question is: Why wait?

Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we just convene a council of BCS bishops and start the four-team playoff now?

It would be just like college football to have two spots available this year for four worthy teams and then, in 2014, start a four-team playoff for only two worthy teams.

Imagine if this year we get Alabama against Kansas State for the BCS title with 13-0 Oregon and Notre Dame holding the not-so-goody bag.

Flash-forward to 2014, as white smoke blows from the chimney of a five-star hotel, where the chairman of a selection committee emerges to announce No. 1 Alabama (13-0) will play No. 4 Boise State (102).

And in the other semifinal, No. 2 Arizona (13-0) passes up its first Rose Bowl chance to tackle third-seeded SEC runner-up Missouri (10-3).

Alabama and Missouri win and meet in a title-game rematch of their 9-6 SEC championship scrum.

It is excruciatingly easy to look at the BCS standings and wonder how it could all go wrong. The scary part of having four qualified undefeated teams (sorry, Louisville) is there is a reasonable chance three or four could reach the end without a blemish.

This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BCS top four are Alabama, Kansas State, Notre Dame and Oregon.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sweat the numbers until a few more rounds have been played out.

Oregon remains No. 2 in the Harris Interactive and USA Today coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; polls, and continues to lag at No. 5 in the computer index, but has a wham-bam closing act that includes USC, Stanford, Oregon State and then the Pac-12 title game. Do sweat the numbers if four teams are undefeated four weeks from now.

It could be like 2004, when USC and Oklahoma hogged 1-2 all year and undefeated Auburn was left out. The SEC got so mad it won six of the next seven BCS titles.

The problem now is we have to count on outsiders to break the logjam since there are no head-to-head elimination matchups involving Alabama, Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame This could be resolved amicably as soon as this weekend.

Alabama could lose at Louisiana State and USC might upset Oregon, but what good does that prospect do this column now?

Sunday. I was ready and my approach was the same.â&#x20AC;?

Cassel said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure whether coming off the bench changed his perspective, but his coach indicated that the decision may ultimately help Cassel from a mental standpoint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes a second chance energizes a guy,â&#x20AC;? Crennel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wants to do well, and whatever role he was in, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like it, but he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to do my job. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a Chief, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be ready if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m called on.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The Chiefs (1-6) could certainly use a little energy.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost four straight overall and still have not led in regulation this season, making them the first NFL team since at least 1940 to play seven games without taking an offensive snap with the lead, according to STATS LLC.

COMMENTARY

Four-team playoffs might be needed now

Cassel played the rest of way, completing 20 of 30 passes for 218 yards with a touchdown and an interception. It was the 10th pick that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrown in parts of six games this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to be playing,â&#x20AC;?

Cassel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I said last week, my approach doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to go out (and) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to work hard. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunate for Brady, but at the same time, we have to move forward.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short week. Preparation has to be put in.â&#x20AC;?

Cassel, who signed a $63 million, six-year deal in 2009, said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t harbor any ill will toward Crennel over his benching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at it that way,â&#x20AC;?

Cassel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter what my position is, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to be the same guy, and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reason I was able to go in there and execute at a high level

NCAA votes to impose tougher penalties INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NCAA passed a package of sweeping changes Tuesday intended to crack down hard on rule-breaking schools and coaches.

Under the new legislation, approved by the 13-member board of directors, programs that commit the most egregious infractions could face postseason bans of two to four years and fines stretching into the millions, while coaches could face suspensions of up to one year for violations committed by their staffs. The board also approved measures to expand the penalty structure from two tiers to four, create new penalty guidelines and speed up the litigation process.

The vote ends a movement that started in August 2011 during the midst of one of the most scandalous years in college sports history. NCAA President Mark Emmert was so concerned that he asked dozens of university leaders to join him at a presidential retreat in Indianapolis.

It was then that Emmert, along with school presidents and chancellors, said they were going to get tough on those who refused to play by the rules.

Now they have. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have sought all along to remove the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;risk-rewardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; analysis that has tempted people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; often because of the financial pressures to win at all costs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to break the rules in the hopes that either they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be caught or that the consequences wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be very harsh if they do get caught,â&#x20AC;? Emmert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new system the board adopted today is the result of a lot of hard work and membership input devoted to protecting the collegiate model.â&#x20AC;?

Under the plan, violators found in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;serious breach of conductâ&#x20AC;? with aggravating circumstances could get those postseason bans and be forced to return millions of dollars from specific events or gross revenue generated by the sport during those years in which rules were broken.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what happened to Penn State in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

The NCAA banned the Nittany Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; football program from postseason play until after the 2016 season and levied a $60 million fine on the school.

If a member of the coaching staff commits an egregious infraction, the head coach must prove he or she was unaware it occurred or face a suspension that ranges from 10 percent of the season to one full season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect head coaches to provide practices and training and written materials that instruct their assistant coaches how to act,â&#x20AC;? said NCAA executive committee chairman Ed Ray, the Oregon State president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done that, it can become mitigating evidence that they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be held accountable for what the assistant coach did.â&#x20AC;?

BASEBALL

Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Leyland to return DETROIT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jim Leyland is returning next year as manager of the Detroit Tigers.

The team and its manager quickly ended any remaining speculation about his status by announcing Tuesday that Leylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract was extended through 2013. He managed on a one-year deal this year and led the Tigers to the World Series, where they were swept by the San Francisco Giants.

The team said Leylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leyland coaching staff also has been invited to return.

Next season will be Leylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22nd as a major league manager and his eighth in Detroit. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s led the Tigers to the postseason three times and the World Series twice.

The 67-year-old Leyland leads all active managers with 1,676 wins, a total that puts him 15th on the career list.

Chisox, Peavy agree to deal CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pitcher Jake Peavy and the Chicago White Sox agreed Tuesday to a $29 million, two-year contract.

The right-hander will receive $14.5 million in each of the next two seasons. Peavy would receive a $15 million option for 2015, depending on innings during the next two years.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

K-State may lose LB for year MANHATTAN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It appears that Kansas State linebacker Tre Walker will miss significant time after hurting his right knee in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Texas Tech.

Wildcats coach Bill Snyder has a policy to not discuss injuries, but Walker tweeted on Tuesday that he was on crutches and teammates indicated he may not return this season.

PRO FOOTBALL

Jags deal WR Thomas to Lions JACKSONVILLE, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A year after giving Mike Thomas a new contract, the Jacksonville Jaguars are giving him a new home. The Jaguars traded Thomas to the Detroit Lions on Tuesday for an undisclosed draft pick. The Lions (3-4) lost receiver Nate Burleson for the season last week, so Thomas gives them depth behind Calvin Johnson, Titus Young and Ryan Broyles.

BAYLOR WIDE RECEIVER TERRANCE WILLIAMS RUNS INTO THE END ZONE for a touchdown against TCU on Oct. 13 in Waco, Texas. Kansas University coach Charlie Weis said limiting Williams will be on the Jayhawks’ minds this weekend as they travel to face the Bears in Waco.

Big Bears offense latest test for KU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Getting ready for another record-setting, scoreboard-rocking Big 12 offense has become an every-week sort of thing for the Kansas University football program.

This week, as the Jayhawks (1-7 overall, 0-5 Big 12) prepare for a road contest at Baylor (3-4, 0-4), the song remains the same.

The Bears rank third in the country in total offense (569 yards per game), seventh nationally in scoring offense (44 points per game) and feature a quarterback, Nick Florence, whose 414.14 yards of total offense per outing put him in front of every player in college football.

Although the somewhat-experienced Florence — he started nine games in 2009 and was a backup in 2010 and 2011 — deserves credit for picking up right where former Baylor great Robert Griffin III left off, both KU coach Charlie Weis and Baylor coach Art Briles point to senior wide receiver Terrance Williams as the most dangerous weapon on this Bears’ team.

Williams, a 6-foot-2, 205-pound standout from Dallas, leads the nation with an average of 172 receiving yards per game and has caught 60 passes for 1,203 yards and nine touchdowns.

“He’s been exceptional,” Briles said. “You know, I think he’s proven himself to be one of the best in America, not just by his production on the field but by how he prepares and how he approaches each game and each play.”

In terms of preparing for Williams, Weis said the mere thought of trying to slow him down was a little daunting.

“Not only is he as good as I’ve seen,” Weis began, “but you got a bunch of other guys around him that you can’t just say, ‘Let’s just put two (defenders) on him every play.’

He is a dynamic player. I don’t think anybody has had a good answer of how to take him away because, if you worry about him, you have a whole bunch of other weapons to worry about.”

Throughout his years as a high school coach, then at the college level with Houston and now at Baylor, Briles has been known

for developing potent offenses that put pressure on opposing defenses.

And while Williams is the latest future first-round draft pick to put up bigtime stat totals for Briles, the BU coach made sure to credit past players for showing Williams the way.

“You know, he’s always been good,” Briles said. “When he came in, he was scout-team player of the year, and he got to play with some great football players — Kendall Wright, David Gettis and Josh Gordon; you’re talking about guys that are all playing in the (NFL) right now. So I think being around that high caliber of competition on a daily basis really helped him excel.”

Hurricane hits home While Weis has spent most the week preparing for Baylor, he also has kept an eye on the developments back home in New Jersey, where friends and family members had been forced to deal with the impact of Hurricane Sandy and its onslaught on the East Coast.

Weis said a tree fell onto — but not into — his mother’s home, and many of his old haunts were impacted by the horrific storm.

“For all people in the Northeast, especially my family and friends, I wish them well,” Weis said.

“It looks like it was quite devastating. It’s quite unusual to watch one of the places you grew up going to the amusement park being pretty much wiped out before your eyes. It’s kind of sad to see.”

Patterson expected back For the first time in three weeks, senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson is expected to be in uniform for the Jayhawks again.

Patterson missed KU’s last two games because of a head injury, but was cleared to return earlier this week.

Weis said he would determine Patterson how involved Patterson would be in the offense after watching him in practice, but added that there were obvious advantages to having the

senior from Mesquite, Texas, back in the lineup.

“He hasn’t played in a few weeks, so we’ll see how rusty he is,” Weis said. “He’s one of the most experienced guys you have, and experienced guys know the little tricks of the trade.”

In other injury news, Weis said defensive end Toben Opurum and linebacker Jake Love were both expected to be available after missing part of the fourth quarter against Texas.

Kansas University’s Angel Goodrich was recognized among the top college women’s basketball players in the country Tuesday.

Goodrich, a senior guard, received votes toward the Associated Press preseason AllAmerica Team and was selected as honorable mention.

Fellow Big 12 star Brittney Griner, the 6-foot-8 Baylor senior, became only the third player to be a two-time unanimous choice, receiving all 40 votes from the national media panel.

Griner

Joining Griner as unanimous choices were Delaware senior Elena Delle Donne and Notre Dame senior Skylar Diggins. Stanford’s Chiney Ogwumike (23 votes), Maryland’s Alyssa Thomas (19) and Baylor’s Odyssey Sims (19) rounded out the team.

Goodrich led the nation in assists per game (7.4) and paced KU with 14.0

Jayhawks at No. 25 The KU women’s team debuted at No. 25 in the preseason USA Today Coaches poll that was released Tuesday.

Kansas ended the 20112012 season at the same spot after advancing to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, its best postseason run since 1998.

The Jayhawks play their final exhibition game against Fort Hays State at 2 p.m. Sunday.

Soccer lands 11 on Academic All-Big 12 J-W Staff Reports

Eleven members of the Kansas University soccer team earned spots on the Academic All-Big 12 teams, the conference announced Tuesday.

KU seniors Amy Grow and Shelby Williamson were named to the list for the third year in a row.

Grow is a three-time first-

team selection, and Williamson joined her teammate on the top list this year after spending the previous two on the second team.

Other Jayhawks on the first team: juniors Madie Hillis and Caroline Castor (both two-time selections), seniors Nichole Chrisopulos and Sarah Robbins, junior Shannon

Renner, and sophomores Jamie Fletcher, Caroline Van Slambrouck and Hayley Yearout.

In addition, senior Cassie Dickerson was named to the Academic All-Big 12 Second Team.

Kansas (10-7-2) will play Texas Tech at the Big 12 Soccer Championship at 2 p.m. today in San Antonio.

Baylor OL to miss half Baylor left guard Cyril Richardson, a 6-foot-5, 335-pound junior from Fort Worth, Texas, will miss the first half of this weekend’s game against Kansas to serve a suspension passed down from the Big 12 Conference.

Richardson was ejected from last week’s loss to Iowa State after kicking a Cyclones player in the fourth quarter.

“The only bit of good news out of this whole offensive list is that Richardson, who I think is by far their best offensive lineman, has to sit a half,” Weis said Tuesday. “He is one tough, nasty player. So hopefully we’ve done enough damage in the first half so, when he comes back, he can’t be a difference in the game.

I wish the suspension was for a game, not half a game, but I’ll take half a game.”

Back to work Sunday, following KU’s 21-17 loss to Texas, Weis said his players were as disappointed as they had been after any loss this season. But, as had been the case all season, by Sunday night, they were over it.

“It’s all the same,” Weis said. “Every week is Groundhog Day. As disappointed as they are, by the time they leave (Sunday night), it’s pretty much out of their system.”

Weis said he and his coaching staff made it a priority to make sure of that.

“How we handle it is how they handle it,” he said. “If I prolonged it, they would prolong it.

They would certainly follow my lead. It’s all about winning. And every week it’s the same thing, it’s just about winning that game.

I can’t worry about last week’s game. I can’t worry about next week’s game.”

KANSAS 88, ESU 54

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Front line doomed ESU

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Emporia State men’s basketball coach Shaun Vandiver knew when he saw the starting lineup for Tuesday’s exhibition contest with Kansas University that his undersized squad would have its struggles.

Just a few days after outrebounding Tulsa in an 11-point loss to former KU standout and assistant coach Danny Manning’s new team, Vandiver’s guys did not expect to have the same luck against KU’s front line.

They didn’t.

In a 88-54 loss that was actually close for about 10 minutes, the Jayhawks outrebounded the Hornets, 43-23, including a 13-7 advantage on the offensive glass.

Most of the damage, however, came from places Vandiver did not quite expect, as freshmen Landen Lucas (9) and Perry Ellis (7) led the Jayhawks’ rebounding effort in this season’s exhibition opener at Allen Fieldhouse.

“I had a chance to see Jamari Traylor bang heads with T-Rob (last year),” Vandiver said of observing a few KU practices with former Jayhawks forward Thomas Robinson a season ago. “And he was one guy who never backed down. He came at him.

Now, is he as skilled as TRob? No. But he still is a red-shirt freshman.”

Traylor, a starter Tuesday, finished with six points, four rebounds and four steals in 16 minutes.

Aside from a second-half steal that was followed by a two-handed monster dunk, the 6-foot-8, 220-pound power forward was fairly quiet, a product, KU coach Bill Self said, of his pregame nerves.

Unfortunately for Vandiver and company, there were several other Jayhawks who enjoyed a number of advantages over the Div. II Hornets, and it showed throughout the night.

“When the game got out of reach, their ball pressure took us out of our flow and our rhythm,” Vandiver said.

ESU led for much of the first 10 minutes. Gavin Brown (14 points, six rebounds) drilled a couple of early three-pointers, and the Hornets held early advantages of 10-4 and 1412.

Those didn’t last long, though, as the Jayhawks responded with a 19-1 spurt and closed the first half on a 30-7 run.

“We were up, and then the next thing I know, we were down 31-15,” Brown said.

Though the lead vanished quickly, both Brown and Vandiver said they were impressed by the way the Hornets battled throughout the night.

“We just kept fighting and playing as a team,” Brown said. “Nobody lost their head.”

Added Vandiver, who was a standout at Colorado for three years in the late 1980s and early 1990s: “I think tonight Emporia State men’s basketball took the right steps in getting better. It wasn’t the result anyone ever dreams of, coming into this facility. I know. I’ve been here three times as a player and never walked out the victor.”

With the way the Jayhawks are built, Vandiver said he did not expect many teams, if any, to have much more luck than his team did Tuesday when they come to Allen Fieldhouse this season. Asked to pinpoint KU’s biggest strength, the second-year ESU coach spoke about Kansas’ teamfirst attitude.

“The way they share the ball, the way they move the ball,” he said. “On offense, the ball really never touched the ground too often. It got side-to-sideto-side, and they got open shots.

“It’s not about the ‘me,’ it’s the ‘we’ with the Jayhawks, and I think they’re dangerous and very deserving of their ranking.

I think their size, their length will cause people a lot of trouble.”

It certainly did for the Hornets, but Vandiver said he liked the way his team responded to that and hoped his message of treating this one as a measuring stick for what they needed to work on would benefit them down the road.

“In an ideal world, you’d like to come in here and Nick Krug/Journal-World Photos win the game,” he said.

KANSAS GUARD BEN MCLEMORE FLASHES HIS TONGUE AFTER A PUT-BACK DUNK against Emporia State in the second “But if you win this game half. KU routed the Hornets, 88-54, in an exhibition Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse. and then lose 20 in a row, nobody’s gonna remember this game.”

“I thought he did well.

He scores the ball easy,” Self said. “He won’t always go 5-for-5. He has such a nice touch on the ball. I still think he can be a lot more aggressive. We blocked one shot tonight ... awful. If he can become aggressive as far as mind-

set, he could be a really good player really early in his career.”

Expanding on the aggressive mind-set issue, Self added: “When you screen, screen hard. When you jump, jump as high as you can. When you go after balls, go with two hands.

He’s playing so much harder than he probably ever has. He plays hard, that’s obvious. (But) you say, ‘Jump,’ and he jumps higher after you yell at him, then he’s not jumping.

That’s where a lot of our guys are. I don’t think they know they can just let it go.

That’s not negative, just the way it is. Freshmen ... we had the same issue with (Brandon) Rush, (Mario) Chalmers, (Julian) Wright, the (Morris) twins. I just think he has so much more to give in impacting the game than what he thinks he can. I think he can be a really good player. We can’t sell out for him just being OK.” Ellis knows he has work to do.

NOTEBOOK

Johnson’s punishment ‘not a big deal’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University senior point guard Elijah Johnson did not start Tuesday’s exhibition opener against Emporia State.

“Elijah was substantially late to a class today. He knows the deal. (It’s) not a big deal,” KU coach Bill Self said.

Johnson entered for starter Naadir Tharpe for the first time at the 15:50 mark of the first half. He finished with 12 points, five assists and three rebounds with one turnover in 23 minutes.

Tharpe scored eight points off 3-of-3 shooting (2-for-2 from three) with four assists and one turnover in 17 minutes.

“What Naadir does best is shoot,” Self said. “He doesn’t shoot enough. In the first half, we went on a 26-3 run, and Naadir was a big part of that. He’s fast, and he can shoot, but sometimes he defers too much. He did a lot of good things tonight.”

Lucas hits glass: Freshman forward Landen Lucas had nine rebounds and six points in 12 minutes.

“I feel the way I can contribute to this team is to come in and rebound in the minutes that I am playing,” Lucas said. “I

feel like I did the best I could tonight, and I’ll continue to crash the boards the rest of the season.”

O

Withey honored: KU senior Jeff Withey (seven points, six boards, 18 minutes) on Monday was

named honorable mention All-America by the Associated Press.

The AP preseason team consists of five first-team members and 17 honorable-mention picks.

Withey, a 7-foot center from San Diego, recently was selected to the All-

Big 12 preseason team by the conference coaches.

Withey was the 2012 Big 12 defensive player of the year and an all-conference third-team selection who set the Kansas and Big 12 single-season blockedshots record with 140 last season.

Included in his 140 blocks were an NCAA Tournament-record 31 in KU’s run to the NCAA national championship game and a conferencegames-only record of 65. Withey averaged 9.0 points and 6.3 rebounds for Kansas last season and shot a team-best 79.5 percent from the free-throw line.

The All-America team consists of Indiana’s Cody Zeller, Creighton’s Doug McDermott, Murray State’s Isaiah Canaan, Ohio State’s Deshaun Thomas, Lehigh’s C.J. McCollum and Michigan’s Trey Burke.

second half that made 16,300 seated customers put their own jumping abilities to work. Elijah Johnson missed a threepointer, McLemore kissed the sky and came down with a two-hand slam that made him an instant crowd favorite, which he will remain for as long or short as he calls the fieldhouse home.

The crowd-rocking slam made the score 61-36, not that anybody cared about those numbers by that point of the night.

“Coach was telling me I need to crash the boards more often,” McLemore said. “And when I had my chance to crash the boards, it came off (with) perfect timing, and I just dunked it.”

They don’t know what they’re doing. But they try real hard.”

NBA scouts will make McLemore’s length-of-stay decision for him. Even if it’s a short one, he’ll improve a great deal because he has skilled teachers, talented daily practice opponents and most of all because he cares. He proved that with the dedication he showed tutors and professors last year and with the effort he exhibited on the court Tuesday.

McLemore’s upbeat body language won’t make anybody think of Josh Selby or C.J. Henry.

Sorry to evoke those memories. It’s just that when they pop into my head, I feel compelled to share them. Misery loves company.

Back to the present.

Signs abounded that McLemore is serious about becoming a complete player.

When he was late recovering to Emporia State’s Kaleb Wright, who made him pay by hitting a three-pointer late in the game, McLemore’s disappointment in himself arrived at the same instant

as that of his coach, who sent a verbal dart across the court.

In a team-high 26 minutes, McLemore committed three turnovers and, according to Self, was responsible for a teammate’s because he didn’t have the patience to let a screen get set.

McLemore’s far from perfect but perfectly positioned to stack millions and millions of dollars, thanks to a blend of physical gifts and the proper attitude.

“I could have guarded better tonight,” McLemore chided himself in the postgame presser.

He certainly has guarded better players, such as the guy he had a habit of frustrating in the practice gymnasium a year ago.

“Guarding Tyshawn (Taylor) every day in practice bettered me as a player,” McLemore said.

“It definitely was a good learning experience.”

McLemore will be schooling Division I players soon enough, and then he’ll be gone too soon because that’s the way it works with college basketball players whose ceilings fly so high.

.

Kansas State still playing like it has underdog role MANHATTAN (AP) — It may seem odd that an undefeated team, ranked third in the country and barreling toward the BCS title game, would consider itself an underdog.

Old habits die hard at Kansas State.

“We’re always going to consider ourselves the underdogs just because of what everybody says all the time about us and how we’re not the best athletes and everything else,” punter Ryan Doerr said.

“I don’t think really much has changed to that.”

Despite its recent success, including wins over West Virginia and Texas Tech the past two weeks, Kansas State still has much to prove.

Voters in the coaches’ and Harris polls still have the Wildcats slotted behind unbeaten Oregon, and Notre Dame is giving chase, and that poses a problem with the two polls making up a big chunk of the BCS rankings that determine who plays for the national championship.

“We still have a lot of people doubting us,” fullback Braden Wilson said.

“That’s one of the things that drives us. We still think about that. We still use that.

“But at the same time, whether people are telling us we’re going to win or telling us we’re going to lose, it’s not going to change how we approach the game,” Wilson said.

“When people are doubting, it’s just a little more motivation.”

It’s easy to find examples of how players have developed this underdog mentality.

Kansas State rarely gets big-name recruits, and most of the players making up the roster were rat-

Maybe those perceptions are why Kansas State was picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 last year by the league’s coaches, only to win 10 games. Or why the coaches still guessed the Wildcats would finish in the bottom half this season.

So while Kansas State (8-0, 5-0) is undefeated

heading into Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State, players are more than happy to maintain the role of the underdog.

“It’s a good mindset for this team to have because it doesn’t allow us to overlook anybody or any game,” wide receiver Curry Sexton said. “Obviously you don’t want to start getting high on yourself because that’s when you get knocked off.”

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said he does not believe in underdogs, because the competitive bal-

ance in the Big 12 is too great to say anybody is an underdog.

More important to Snyder is whether his players consider themselves to be the favorite.

That’s why he consistently mentions the nailbiting nature of Kansas State’s 10-7 win in the 2011 season opener against Eastern Kentucky, and why he reminds players that this year’s 14-point victory over North Texas was probably about half of what the margin of victory could have been.

For Snyder, it all goes to prove two points: No team can be taken for granted, and odds-makers do not make one iota of difference.

“Somebody’s betting money somewhere and established a point spread, and I guess they win a certain portion of the time to end up making money,” Snyder said, “but they’re wrong an awful lot of the time.

“The point is, we see them, we know what kind of football team they are.

Everybody that plays them knows what kind of football team they are.”

To everybody outside of the Vanier Football Complex, the Wildcats still seem to get overlooked. To those inside, that’s just fine.

“I think this team is very confident but not overconfident,” Sexton said.

“We feel like we can win every ballgame, but we’re a team that doesn’t allow our confidence to get in the way of what we need to do on the field.

“We realize that we are what we got, and we go out there on Saturdays and we just have to do our jobs,” Sexton added. “Underdog or not, we’re just going to play like the underdog.”

Notre Dame sees 2002 similarities SOUTH BEND, IND. (AP) — The similarities between Notre Dame this season and the Fighting Irish squad from a decade ago are uncanny enough that it might make some fans a bit uncomfortable heading into Saturday’s game against Pittsburgh.

A decade ago, a Notre Dame team that started the season unranked persuaded many college football fans it was for real when it won at then-No. 11 Florida State to improve to 8-0 and rise to a No. 4 ranking. That team was a 10-point underdog when it beat the Seminoles in the eighth game by breaking a second-half tie by scoring 24 straight points to drop Florida State to 84-51 in its previous 90 home games.

This year’s team has many fans believing it is real after starting the season unranked and winning at then-No. 8 Oklahoma to improve to 8-0 and rise to a No. 4 ranking. The Irish were 10-point underdogs when they beat the Soon-

“

History will have no effect on how this team plays. What will affect how they play is how they prepare during the week. That is what I can control and that’s what our players can control.

Our focus is on what we can control.”

— Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly ers in the eighth game by breaking a second-half tie by scoring 17 straight points to drop Oklahoma to 79-5 in its last 84 home games.

Following that 2002 win, Notre Dame appeared to have an easy path to a BCS. This time, the Irish again appear to have an easy path to a BCS game with a threegame stretch against Pittsburgh (4-4), Boston College (2-6) and Wake Forest (4-4) before the season finale at Southern California (6-2).

As any Irish fan can tell you, the ninth game of the 2002 season was the beginning of the end for then-first-year coach Tyrone Willingham.

The Irish were favored by 10 points, but turned the ball over seven times while wearing green jerseys for motivation and lost 14-7 to Boston College.

They then struggled to beat Navy, were trounced 44-13 at USC and lost 28-6 to North Carolina State in the Gator Bowl.

Coach Brian Kelly isn’t much interested in that history, though.

“History will have no effect on how this team plays,” Kelly said. “What will affect how they play is how they prepare during the week. That is what I can control and that’s what our players can control. Our focus is on what we can control.”

Kelly said he won’t use

2002 as a cautionary tale to remind his team to guard against a letdown against a Pitt team that has just as many wins as that Boston College team.

“I don’t use history lessons as much as I want them to realize what it takes to win week in and week out,” he said. “Look, there will be enough of that out there to kind of get to them. I don’t know if that from me is going to change the way we prepare.”

Kelly said after the victory over Oklahoma on Saturday the Irish need to avoid looking at the big picture.

“If we start listening to national championship and the BCS, we’ll lose a football game,” he said.

“They’re a pretty smart group. They know that if they stick with what we’ve done and stick with the process of just preparing for Pittsburgh, they’ll be fine. But if they start thinking about all those other things and listening, we’ll lose.”

TDs scarce in Alabama-LSU match-ups TUSCALOOSA, ALA. (AP) — Maybe the force-field that has shielded the end zone the past two times Alabama and LSU have tangled won’t be quite so powerful Saturday night.

The top-ranked Crimson Tide and No. 5 Tigers have smacked right into it the past two meetings at various points on the field, reaching the end zone only once between them.

Alabama (8-0, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) especially has been forced to attempt a cascade of field goals after promising drives screeched to a halt,

making either goats or heroes of the kickers.

The good news for the Tide: AJ McCarron and the offense have been far more successful this season in getting points out of trips inside the opponents’ 20-yard line, or the red zone. Nearly perfect, in fact. And LSU has struggled both offensively and defensively within that portion of the field.

The bad news: LSU (7-1, 3-1) has a Top 10 defense and easily the most formidable group of running backs Alabama has faced.

Bama kickers Cade Fos-

ter (three misses) and Jeremy Shelley (a 49-yarder blocked) became infamous for their troubles in last November’s 9-6 overtime loss to the Tigers.

Shelley got redemption with five field goals in the national title game The offense shared the blame in that regular-season meeting — or LSU’s defense the credit.

Alabama had four drives inside the Tigers’ 30-yard line and was pushed back with two penalties, two sacks and three negative rushing yards. Call that the Crimson zone.

“Oh, we missed a lot of opportunities and that’s one thing that we’ve got to focus on this week, most definitely,” Tide wide receiver Kevin Norwood said. “Scoring when we should and scoring when we have to and making every opportunity count.”

Alabama’s done that much better through eight games.

The Tide is tied with No. 12 Louisville for tops nationally in red zone efficiency, scoring on 34 of 35 trips with 26 touchdowns.

Alabama is also No. 1 in that category on defense.

BOSTON’S KEVIN GARNETT (5) WORKS AGAINST Miami’s Udonis Haslem. The Heat defeated the Celtics, 120-107, on Tuesday night in Miami.

Roundup The Associated Press

Heat 120, Celtics 107 MIAMI — LeBron James got his ring, then got cramps.

The Miami Heat found a way to beat their biggest rival anyway.

Dwyane Wade scored 29 points, James finished 26 points and 10 rebounds while missing much of the second half, and the reigning NBA champion Heat beat Boston on Tuesday night in the season opener for both teams.

Ray Allen, in his first game with Miami since leaving Boston over the summer, added 19 points for the Heat, as did Chris Bosh, who had a late flurry that helped Miami prevail.

Rashard Lewis scored 10 for Miami, which saw a 19-point lead trimmed to four in the final minutes before finding a way to close it out — even while James, last season’s MVP of both the regular season and NBA Finals, was in the locker room for the second time because of the cramps.

Paul Pierce scored 23 points, Rajon Rondo finished with 20 points and 13 assists, and Leandro Barbosa scored 16 for Boston. The Celtics, who lost to the Heat in last season’s Eastern Conference finals, were not on the court for the ring ceremony.

They almost wrecked the festive mood with a late comeback.

An 11-2 run late in the fourth quarter got Boston within 111-107 on Courtney Lee’s layup with 2:09 left.

That was the last Celtics’ hurrah — Bosh scored the game’s next seven points, sealing it for Miami.

The Heat got their championship rings from owner Micky Arison and watched the banner commemorating last season’s title get hoisted in a pregame ceremony replete with an indoor fireworks show.

More fireworks came at the finish — Rondo was called for a flagrant foul against Wade with 16.9 seconds left, as if either team needed a reminder that these sides simply don’t like each other very much. Three straight postseason meetings made them rivals, and Allen’s departure only added more fuel to the mix.

Jeff Green, who had season-ending surgery for an aortic aneurysm last January, played in a game that counts for the first time since May 11, 2011 — also in Miami.

Cavaliers 94, Wizards 84 CLEVELAND — Kyrie Irving scored 29 points, Anderson Varejao had a career-high 23 rebounds, and Cleveland opened the season with a victory over Washington.

Rookie Dion Waiters added 17 points for the Cavs, who led by 16 in the third quarter but needed big plays from Irving and Varejao in the final minutes to hold off the Wizards, who scored the first 14 points of the fourth.

Varejao had a careerhigh nine assists, two setting up dunks by Tristan Thompson in the last two minutes.

Jordan Crawford scored 11 points to lead the Wizards, who were without point guard John Wall, power forward Nene and forward Kevin Seraphin.

Wall, the former No. 1 overall pick, is expected to be out until late November with a knee injury.

Irving, the NBA’s reigning rookie of the year, began his second season with a strong performance alongside Waiters, a surprising No. 4 overall pick. Waiters didn’t start a game at Syracuse, but Cavs coach Byron Scott has been impressed with his progress and wanted to pair his two young guards together from the outset.

They played well in spurts, but made enough mistakes to keep Scott from giving them too much freedom.

The Cavs seemed to be on their way to a relatively routine win, but in a league where players are fond of saying “every team makes a run,” the Wizards made theirs.

Down 61-45 in the third quarter and looking flat, Washington opened the fourth with its 14-0 spurt, taking a 76-74 lead when Jannero Pargo drained a three-pointer from the corner.

Defense lifts Veritas back to title game J-W Staff Reports

Veritas Christian School is headed back to the KCAA football championship after its latest blowout victory, a 54-6 two-quarter rout of Topeka Cair Paravel on Tuesday at the Eagles’ Nest.

St. Mary’s Academy will host Veritas at 2 p.m. on Saturday in the third straight championship match-up between the teams. The Eagles lost to the Crusaders last season after prevailing for the KCAA championship in 2010. St. Mary’s defeated Veritas (8-2) earlier this month, 66-48 on Oct. 19.

Against Cair Paravel on Tuesday, the Veritas defense helped engineer the Eagles’ fourth mercyruled win of the season.

Veritas led 34-6 at the end of the first quarter after Alex Lynch and Thatcher Martin returned interceptions for touchdowns and Caleb Holland returned a kickoff follow-

ing Cair Paravel’s only scoring drive.

“Defensively, we played extremely well,” Veritas coach Doug Bennett said.

“I’m also the offensive coordinator, and for a while I was wondering if I’d be able to call any offensive plays. ... Our defense played really well.”

Along with his interception return, Martin forced two fumbles. Bryce Bolland added two more forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He finished the game with nine total tackles, including a sack and two tackles for loss.

J-W Staff Reports

Soccer later, Riley drew a foul just outside the box, and though Reiber tried quickly to score on a free kick, again the Lions came up with nothing. Then, in the 65th minute, after Lawrence’s offense drew Melia out of position, Ian Gabel tried to make the Lancers pay but shot the ball wide of an empty net.

Coach Murphy said the Lancers’ talent and organization limited Lawrence’s offensive options.

“When they give up an opportunity, they’re not gonna let it be an easy one,” he said.

The Lions never would have been close without

to get his hands on the shot just in time to stop it.

Said Reiber: “Jeff was just keeping us in the game. They could’ve had it to about 4-0, and Jeff kept us alive.”

Defenders Connor Henrichs, Michael Latham, Davies and Bray Kelley kept LHS in the hunt, too, by turning away SME attacks.

Riley said the game

reached a point where the Lions felt as though they had the Lancers on their heels.

“We played real well, and I’d rather go out like that than anything else,” Riley said after composing himself. “That was a great team, and we played real well against them. We have nothing to be ashamed of.”

Clearly difficult to ponder in the minutes after the season ended, Riley said Lawrence’s back-to-back state quarterfinal appearances meant a lot to the program.

“It set a foundation for what Lawrence High should be doing,” he said, “and showed the Kansas City schools how soccer should be done here at Lawrence High.”

Mexican fish has sweet heat

By Linda Gassenheimer The Miami Herald

Olives, capers, peppers and cinnamon add a sweet touch and some heat to this typical dish from Veracruz, Mexico. I recently tasted this dish at a Mexican food fiesta at the Doral Intercontinental Hotel. Chefs Darren Lee and Deivid Rojas shared their recipe with me. I’ve adapted it for this quick and easy taste of Mexico.

Snapper is the most popular fish in Veracruz, but flounder, tilapia, catfish or any other white fish fillet can be used. If using a thicker fillet, increase the cooking time, counting 8 minutes per inch of thickness.

The recipe calls for banana peppers in vinegar.

These are long yellow/ white peppers. You can substitute any type of pickled chile. The heat is up to you. Or you can use diced jalapeño peppers.

Simple tricks for perfect Brussels sprouts ————

Preparation technique unlocks layers of flavor Associated Press

Brussels sprouts can generate some pretty strong opinions. As with cilantro or goat cheese, you either love them or hate them.

The little stinkers are the smallest of the crucifers and, when prepared incorrectly, can develop a scary aroma and deadly taste.

In fairness, it’s hard to cook Brussels sprouts to their best advantage because they are so densely constructed. By the time the heat gets to the core, there’s a good chance that the outside has been overcooked.

It used to be that I had no better idea about what to do with them than anyone else. I just followed the procedure I learned in cooking school — trim them, use a knife to score the bottom in a crisscross pattern 1/4 inch deep (so they cook more evenly), and boil or steam them until done. The results were not exactly inspiring.

It wasn’t until the Two Hot Tamales showed me a better way that I fell in love. The Tamales — chefs Sue Fenniger and Mary Sue Milliken, the co-hosts of their own show on the Food Network once upon a time — sliced the sprouts very thin, then quickly sauteed them. And I do mean quickly — 3 to 5 minutes in the pan and they’re good to go.

The simplicity of this technique is, of course, a huge bonus. You can either pre-saute the sprouts, then quickly reheat them when the moment is right, or just cook them from start to finish.

Even more impressive than the process is the result — the surprising deliciousness of these

I’ve opted for walnuts in this recipe, but swap in your favorite. And a tart little spritz of lemon provides the finishing touch.

Take my word for it; when it comes to Brussels sprouts, this recipe has turned haters into believers over and over again.

By the way, who put the Brussels in Brussels sprouts? The Belgians, of course.

The sprouts were first cultivated in large quantities in Belgium in the late 1500s, and introduced to the U.S. in the 1800s.

leaves that range from light green to dark green and small to large. If a recipe says to just use “kale,” this is probably the one to which the author is referring.

Lacinato (Dinosaur, Tuscan or Black): A kale of many names, this one is a very dark green that sometimes looks black.

It has a “pebbley” texture and long, flat leaves, which aren’t curly on the ends like curly and red kale. The flavor and texture of this green can be a bit more mild than the other two. This is the kind of kale used in Italian cooking.

Red (Russian): This kale actually isn’t as red as it is purple. It has the same flavor and texture of your regular curly kale, but with a pretty color that looks very nice raw.

California Zin has broad appeal It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a bottle of Ridge Zinfandel, and it’s just as delicious as ever.

This one comes from Paso Robles, where the 2010 growing season was unusually cool. The 2010 Paso Robles Zinfandel is food-friendly, tasting of dark berries and something woodsy. Tannins are soft, and it has a bit of elegance uncommon for a Zin. I’d drink it with barbecued ribs, steak frites, a traditional tafelspitz or (boiled beef). But if you were making a root vegetable pie or some other rustic vegetable main course, it would work too.

Place a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat.

Wash and kale as needed. Hold in bunch form and thinly slice remaining stems and leaves. Place in large bowl of cold water and swish to remove any remaining grit.

Once water has come to a rolling boil, add soba pasta and cook for 3 minutes less than the package instructs.

Add kale to the boiling pasta, pressing down with the back of a large spoon as kale likes to float. Continue cooking, uncovered until kale and pasta are tender, about 5 minutes or so.

Drain pasta and kale.

In a large mixing bowl, add minced garlic (can be sauteed for a milder flavor), toasted sesame oil, tamari and sesame seeds. Add kale and soba, toss to combine and give it a taste test. Add more goodies if necessary.

Serve hot or at room tem-

KING KALE! Farmers’ Market to celebrate nutritional powerhouse with Kale Festival this Saturday

By Sarah Henning

s far as greens are concerned, kale is king.

Good thing the mighty vegetable is getting its own party this weekend: The Kale Festival at the Lawrence Farmers’ Market.

The festival runs the length of normal market hours, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., in the public parking lot between Eighth and Ninth streets on the east side of New Hampshire Street. And will be an ode to kale, with the veggie front and center. Thus, it’ll be the perfect time to try this über-healthy green if you’ve never attempted it.

Whether you’re unfamiliar with the king of the greens or its biggest fan, there are a lot of good things to know about what makes it so mighty. Therefore, we’ve put together a little guide and a lot of recipes, just so you’re ready to pay heed to the leaf.

The history A member of the cabbage

family, kale was probably the most popular green vegetable in all of Europe until the end of the Middle Ages. It was favored by the Romans and Greeks, and grown as far north as Russia and Scotland. Its popularity dwindled as trade and agriculture became more regulated, but it’s had its modern days in the sun, including a very useful stint in “victory gardens” during the food rationing of World War II because of its ease of growth and high nutrient content.

Kale has grown in popularity in recent years mostly for the very same reasons it was a staple in the 1940s: It’s easy to grow in several climates (including ours) and it’s a nutritional all-star.

percent calcium, 6 percent iron and a whopping 684 percent of your vitamin K. Researchers have linked kale to lowering the risk of five different types of cancer: bladder, breast, colon, ovary and prostate. The lowered cancer risk may come from kale’s extremely high vitamin K count. The vitamin is needed by the body to facilitate bodily functions, and a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that eating a diet rich in the powerful antioxidant can reduce the overall risk of developing or dying from cancer.

Moreover, the fiber in kale has been shown to lower cholesterol by binding with bile acids, especially if the kale is cooked.

It’s easy to make time for oven roasting

M

y friend Lindsey recently told me she’d made a pot roast and it might be her favorite meal to do because it seems like a lot but there’s nothing easier.

She got me thinking that I hadn’t done a big one-pot roasty kind of thing in a while, and I vowed to put two crock-pot meals on my menu for the next week.

And here is my solemn confession: I am a crockpot failure. In concept, the crock-pot is a perfect cooking tool for a busy working mom like me. But in practice, it just never works.

It seems like I should be able to prep everything the night before or even

THE FLYING FORK

a blog by Megan Stuke in the morning before I go to work, but it turns out I never want to. I’ve already made dinner on Monday night, and I don’t feel like going back in the kitchen when it’s all said and done to cut up potatoes for Tuesday night. And Tuesday morning always proves more frantic than I

wanted it to be, and I end up blowing off my crockpot prep in lieu of having my hair washed and dried before work.

So, while I generally love the results my crockpot produces, I have just resigned myself to using it primarily on weekends or for parties, and knowing I just have to use my stove or oven during the week.

I had thawed a pork loin roast with the intention of crock-potting it last week, but if course it didn’t happen. Thankfully, my roast was only about 3 pounds so I had time to cook it in the oven and even have it done at

the early geriatric hour we prefer to have dinner.

And, even without the crock-pot, it was EASY. It made for a gorgeous meal and plate presentation, and provided leftovers for some amazing sandwiches that, if you’re nice, I’ll share with you next week.

By the way, have I ever talked specifically about my love of the pork loin?

It’s one of my favorite cuts of meat to work with.

I like it far, far better than the pork tenderloin, which in my never-to-behumble opinion is always dry and just so-so. It’s a fairly inexpensive cut Please see FORK, page 11B

90 POINTS “The 2010 Chardonnay is one of the top values in California wine.

It possesses tons of ripe, varietal fruit in a style that is quite rich but not heavy.

Clean citrus and floral notes add freshness on the long finish. Lees stirring gives the wine much of its richness, while aging in steel helps maintain freshness.

There is remarkable depth and textural finesse here, never mind a price that is mind-boggling for this level of quality. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.”

PUBLIC NOTICE CONTINUED ON 6

Dear Annie: In the 20 years I’ve been with my partner, I’ve had suspicions that he’s cheated.

Whenever I confront him, he becomes angry and tries to turn it around on me. I finally decided I had to know, so I bought mini digital voice recorders and left them on in the house whenever I’d leave for work. Lo and behold, my suspicions were correct.

My problem now is how to confront him with the proof. I’m not proud that I’ve been spying on him for weeks. But he would never own up to his cheating unless it was indisputable. I know he will be angry with me, but what he has done is totally wrong.

He keeps telling me we need to work on us. How is that possible when he makes a phone call to his “girlfriend” every morning after I leave for work?

This is making me physically ill. — Had To Know

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Had: Your partner’s behavior made you suspicious, so you took the step of finding proof.

And you found it. Stop berating yourself for doing a little private detective work. Your partner is cheating. He will continue to make excuses and try to put the blame on you. Tell him what you discovered, show him the proof, and tell him it’s over. And mean it.

Dear Annie: I felt a need to respond to “Enough,” the 57-yearold male who has been

What the devil is up on Lifetime?

Whenever somebody starts or ends a remark with the words “my friend,” it’s safe to say he or she is not your friend. With that in mind, consider the word “real” in “The Real Exorcist” (10 p.m., Lifetime).

This isn’t just a Halloween special. It’s a whole new series dedicated to the work of the Rev. Bob Larson, who has made a career of driving demons from tortured souls. By his own account, or that of Lifetime’s publicists, he has “over” 10,000 exorcisms under his belt. Actually, it should be “more than” 10,000, but in this case, bad writing is the least of our concerns.

That’s a staggering number of possessed souls.

And like many large numbers, it has a way of diminishing the experience. I wonder if my local mechanic has 10,000 oil changes under his belt? Has my dentist filled 10,000 cavities? The 1973 shocker “The Exorcist” (7 p.m. and 9:45 p.m., IFC) left the impression that driving Old Scratch from a human host was a harrowing, once-in-a-lifetime nightmare.

But 10,000? That’s an exorcism a day, every day, for a solid 27 years.

Does Reverend Bob ever take a day off?

Apparently, he has it down to a science. Or is “science” a dirty word in a world where people believe in medieval nonsense like exorcism?

A viewing favorite since it first aired in 1966, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” (7 p.m., ABC) remains a ratings hit as well. It’s also one of the few Halloween-related shows that is both for and about children.

Tonight’s other highlights:

“The X-Factor” (7 p.m., Fox).

Laurel still holds a grudge on “Arrow” (7 p.m., CW).

Jay and Gloria hold a fundraising yard sale on “Modern Family” (8 p.m., ABC).

Residents of two towns take competitive jack-o’-lanterning to new extremes on “Pumpkin Wars” (8 p.m., HGTV).

A missing partner inspires a dogged pursuit on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

Boden is blamed for a homeless man’s death on “Chicago Fire” (9 p.m., NBC).

A fundraiser for Teddy proves stressful on “Nashville” (9 p.m., ABC).

A violent storm complicates efforts to escape from Briarcliff on “American Horror Story” (9 p.m., FX).

BIRTHDAYS Actress Lee Grant is 85. Former CBS anchorman Dan Rather is 81.

Actress Deidre Hall is 64. Movie director Peter Jackson is 51. Actor Rob Schneider is 48. Rap performer Vanilla Ice is 44. Actress Piper Perabo is 36. Actor Brian Hallisay is 34. Actor Eddie Kaye Thomas is 32. Rock musician Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance) is 31. Actor Scott Clifton is 28. Actress-singer Willow Smith is 12.

divorced for 26 years and hasn’t dated for the past three. He is adamant that he will date only women he finds physically attractive (translation: not fat), but his family feels he is cutting himself off from meeting some very nice women.

I am a 52-year-old female, divorced for two years and built like a plus-size model. I am intelligent, witty, neat, well-dressed, make a decent living and am told I am pretty. I had one blind date with a man I met through an online dating service. We had emailed each other for a week and chatted on the phone several times. I figured we had had such great conversations that my looks wouldn’t matter. I was wrong. He said there was no “spark.” I then tried to hire a professional matchmaker, and when I described myself as “Rubenesque,” she said she has a hard time finding

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, Oct. 31: This year you tap into your wit and intelligence. Others like having you around. If you are single, you could meet someone who appears out of the blue. If you are attached, the two of you could experience some misunderstandings.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) By midday, a situation will energize you. Be sure to cross off the errands on your to-do list.

Tonight: Out and about.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) The unexpected occurs, which forces you to pull back and center yourself. This time of reflection ultimately allows you to gain.

Tonight: Share some of your treats.

No tricks, please.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) As the day goes on, you feel more empowered. You’ll communicate on a deep level and share more of your ideas. Tonight: Go with last-minute changes.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Use the morning to the max. Do what you must in order to assume a low profile in the afternoon. Tonight: Act like a ghost and vanish.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Handle your responsibilities early in the day, as meetings, interpersonal interactions and phone calls will keep you very busy.

Indulge in this sociable afternoon — it’s nearly as if it was created just for you. Tonight: At a favorite haunt with your friends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to think through someone’s demands. A

men among her clientele willing to date women who wear a size larger than 12.

While I have no interest in a man who would summarily dismiss me as a potential date solely based on my size, I am beginning to wonder where all the real men are. There have to be some decent guys out there who are not so shallow and ignorant. So far they appear to be pretty scarce. — PlusSized Good Catch Dear Catch: In all fairness, being attracted to someone is not insignificant. But just as beautiful people can seem ugly if they have rotten personalities, a person of any size can become attractive by discovering a kind, warm, funny, intelligent human being inside. The problem is, few people are willing to let those relationships blossom, giving outward appearance more “weight” than it deserves. jacquelinebigar.com

partner’s unexpected behavior also could take a toll on you. Tonight: To the wee hours.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A close partner or an associate demands a lot of your attention. Do not take someone’s behavior personally. Tonight: Lastminute thoughts about trick-ortreating might encourage a change in plans.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Deal with someone’s requests. You could be aggravated on some level, but it would be worth it to step back and evaluate your mood before taking action. Tonight: Surprises happen left and right.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Those around you are full of themselves right now. These people simply have strong personalities, but it might feel like you are on the receiving end of a power play.

Tonight: Go along with someone else’s idea.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creative ideas mark the morning. By the afternoon, it is business as usual. Tonight: Consider an unexpected offer.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Confusion forces your hand in a situation. A misunderstanding helps you initiate a long-overdue conversation. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to spend more time at home or with a family member. Even if you have to work, you still can plan on making time with this person afterward. Tonight: You do not need to go far to have a haunting experience.
