Car travels wrong way, hits semitrailer

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A 26-year-old Lawrence man died Wednesday afternoon after his eastbound car traveled the wrong way into the westbound lanes and struck a semitrailer east of Lawrence on the Kansas Turnpike in Leavenworth County.

Kansas Highway Patrol Capt. Joe Bott said the man was driving his car at 1:45 p.m. near the Lawrence Service Center about three miles east of Lawrence.

He suddenly crossed from the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 into the westbound lanes. He crossed in the area just east of the ser-

The Kansas Highway Patrol was still investigating the crash and working to notify family members at 10 p.m.

If you regularly set out a lot of trash at the curb, you should be charged more for trash service than your neighbor who normally doesn’t set out much trash.

The city’s Solid Waste Task Force agreed Wednesday that the Lawrence City Commission ought to adopt that principle when it discusses overhauling the city’s trash service next year.

The Quayle collection features several King James bibles, including two firstedition copies from 1611.

Kay Bradt, Baker’s director of library services, said the book featured on the cover was one of those two.

She said she hoped the magazine would help bring attention to the collection, which features about 620 items, most of which are Bibles. The collection also features commentaries and other pieces of literature.

Federal agency could investigate online security breach of LMH patient records

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Lawrence Memorial Hospital officials anticipate a federal investigation into a security breach that potentially compromised the financial information of more than 8,000 of its patients.

That investigation could result in a $25,000 fine from the U.S. Office of Civil Rights, which is the regulatory agency that oversees patient privacy and confidentiality, hospital leaders said Wednesday.

In an email, Amanda Fine with the Office of Civil Rights said the agency could not discuss whether an entity is under investigation or being considered for an investigation.

This week, LMH mailed

In late October, LMH discovered that 28 patient records containing names, contact information, health care providers and medical payments were published online. Also available were credit card and checking account information. thousands of letters alerting patients who had used the hospital’s online bill-pay service that their contact and financial information could have been accessed online. Since 2005, LMH had contracted with the Wichita-based Mid Continent Credit Services to provide online billing.

Regents CLARA SIEVE

A Mass of Christian Burial for Clara Sieve, 100, Lawrence, will be at 10 a.m.

Saturday at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Lawrence. Burial will follow at 1:30 p.m.

Saturday at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery in Valley Falls.

She died Tuesday, Nov. 15, Sieve 2011.

After graduating from Valley Falls High School in 1929, Ms. Sieve provided hospice care for John and Lena Groff in the Kansas City area. She was recruited by a Benedictine priest, Father Egbert Hall, in 1938 to become a housekeeper and parish secretary for Immaculate Conception Church in Valley Falls. In 1938, she also began a 30-plus year affiliation with the priests and sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict based in Atchison.

During this time, she was housekeeper, parish secretary and organized parish fundraising activities for Catholic churches staffed by the Benedictine priests in Valley Falls, Seneca, Atchison, Troy and Effingham before her retirement. In 1945, she was recognized as an Oblate of St. Benedict at Mount Saint Scholastica, and from 1946 to 1947 was assigned to assist Father Egbert Hall in missionary work in Sahuayo, Mexico.

Upon her retirement in 1977, Ms. Sieve moved to Babcock Place in Lawrence where she continued her life of caregiving to her mother, Mary, until her death at age 96 in 1979. She also provided care for her brother, Leo, who also moved to Babcock Place, until his passing in

1990. After leaving Babcock Place, she lived with Tillie Petesch in rural Douglas County after the death of her husband, Elmer. They moved to Lawrence and were active members of the Corpus Christi parish until their July 2010 move to Our Lady of Mercy Country Home in Liberty, Mo. Mrs. Sieve was also a member of the Lawrence Book Club and did volunteer work for the St. John’s Thrift Store in Lawrence.

Ms. Sieve had many hobbies, which included crocheting afghans, making quilts, and appliquéing quilts. She enjoyed cooking and baking. She also made thousands of rosaries, which were distributed worldwide, especially in Africa. She loved to travel and had been from Washington, D.C., to Seattle, and from Florida to Alaska. In addition to her missionary work in Mexico, she also traveled to make a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, Yugoslavia (now Bosnia).

fund older improvements.

At Pittsburg State, for example, she said, half of the increase was scheduled to pay off debt, while the remaining 2 percent was necessary to cover operations.

Regents are scheduled to vote on whether to accept the university rate proposals at their next monthly meeting in December.

Regents also approved pay raises for two groups of KU employees. Regents approved a KU proposal for an annual raise of $525 for safety and security officers and $815 for police officers and detectives. To be eligible, employees must have satisfactory job evaluations from 2008 to 2010.

They approved another proposal for KU maintenance and service employees, represented by Local 1290 PE, who would receive a $500 annual raise. Also, covered employees who have satisfactory job evaluations and no suspensions from 2008 through 2010 will get an additional $140 increase. The proposed raises would take effect Dec. 11.

The raises were passed with no discussion as part of the regents’ consent agenda.

Regents also announced the formation of the search committee that will look for the next president of Wichita State University, after President Don Beggs announced he would step down after 12 years of service on June 30, 2012.

Steve Clark, a Wichita resident, a former regent and president and CEO of Clark Investment Group, will serve as the committee’s chairman. The committee will work with the R. William Funk and Associates executive search firm.

That firm also assisted with the search that ended with the hiring of Bernadette Gray-Little as KU’s chancellor in 2009.

LMH adopts 2012 budget

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

As the economy continues to struggle, Lawrence Memorial Hospital is projecting a greater need to cover medical expenses of patients who can’t or won’t pay their bills.

At a Wednesday board meeting, trustees approved the hospital’s 2012 budget, which came with nearly $201 million in total net operating revenue and a net income of $10 million.

Trustee Chuck Heath described the budget as one with a “lower bottom line” and “soft revenue” but predicted it would still be a “solid year” for the hospital.

Security CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

the hospital’s online billing service.

Meanwhile, the hospital has been advising patients to take steps that would make them feel more comfortable — whether it be putting a lock on the account or obtaining a new bank card. For those concerned about the security risk, Mid Continent Credit Services has agreed to pay for a free one-year credit monitoring subscription.

The hospital was alerted to the security breach Oct. 28 after a patient did a Google search of her husband’s name and found his financial information on a website by Brick Wire LLC, a Tulsa company that hosted the online bill pay service on behalf of Mid Continent Credit Services.

From what the hospital can deduce, Brick Wire did a system upgrade on Sept.

20 and left a portal open that contained payment records from 28 LMH patients. That information was accessed by Google, which then cached the page and kept the information public. LMH officials

The hospital is forecasting that the amount of bad debt, which has steadily increased since 2009, will go up by more than 13 percent next year. In all, hospital officials expect to cover more than $20 million in medical expenses for patients who do not pay their medical bills.

“People are having a tough time, and it’s tough to pay bills,” said Janice Early, who is LMH director of community relations.

The hospital also anticipates spending $10.7 million for patients who apply for and meet requirements for financial assistance, a 5 percent increase from last year.

Other increasing expenses also think from that portal there was a way to access a database that contained information on every patient who had used the online bill pay system since it was first offered in 2005.

“Literally, it was like leaving the door to the house open,” Thomas said.

At an LMH board meeting Wednesday morning, the hospital’s general counsel, Andy Ramirez, said the hospital did not own or maintain the computers that operated the online bill pay system. He also provided some clarification on what happened.

“No one was hacked,” Ramirez said. “This was a self-inflicted wound by Brick Wire.”

After a “challenging phone conference” with Mid Continent Credit Services, Ramirez said, it was agreed that the hospital would be held harm-

include rising drug costs because of shortages, physician recruitment costs and additional costs related to new practices and services.

The hospital expects to see a boost in revenue from its recently formed Internal Medicine Group practice, the new endoscopy and pain management departments and the new pulmonology practice.

As for major capital expenses budgeted for 2012, $2.1 million is slated for remodeling the second floor’s north wing, and $1.5 million will be spent to remodel the first floor.

less and that the event was “completely outside the control of the hospital.”

If the federal investigation does lead to a fine, Thomas said the vendors would most likely be responsible for paying it because patient privacy was part of the contract.

For now, the hospital has shut down its online bill pay service. It had already been in the process of switching vendors and is taking a closer look at that vendor’s security procedures. A new system should be in place in the next few weeks.

Those who have questions about the security breach can call LMH at 785-505-4945 or send email lmhcompliance@ lmh.org.

1 | AUSTRALIA

Obama asserts U.S. a Pacific power Signaling a determination to counter a rising China, President Barack Obama vowed Thursday to expand U.S. influence in the Asia-Pacific region and “project power and deter threats to peace” in that part of the world even as he reduces defense spending and winds down two wars.

“The United States is a Pacific power, and we are here to stay,” he declared in a speech to the Australian Parliament, sending an unmistakable message to Beijing.

Obama’s bullish speech came several hours after announcing he would send military aircraft and up to 2,500 Marines to northern Australia for a training hub to help allies and protect American interests across Asia. He declared the U.S. is not afraid of China, by far the biggest and most powerful country in the region.

China immediately questioned the U.S. move and said it deserved further scrutiny.

Emphasizing that a U.S. presence in the AsiaPacific region is a top priority of his administration, Obama stressed that any reductions in U.S. defense spending will not come at the expense of that goal.

“Let there be no doubt: In the Asia Pacific in the 21st century, the United States of America is all in,” he said.

COUNTY COMMISSION

Requests for conservation grants approved

By Aaron Couch acouch@ljworld.com

It looks like an old farmhouse will be getting a new life.

The Douglas County Commission approved a $163,000 grant to restore the Robert Hall Pearson Farmhouse, one of 10 projects approved for funding.

The farmhouse is believed to be the site of the first battle that

escalated into the Civil War. The $297,500 worth of funding for projects was recommended to the county by the Heritage Conservation Council, which was formed last year to assess requests from historic sites for $350,000 of county money set aside for historic, cultural and natural preservation.

Commissioners Mike Gaughan and Nancy Thellman voted in fa-

vor of all 10 requests for funding, while commissioner Jim Flory voted in favor of just one: $15,000 toward pursuing the relocation of the 1892 Lecompton City Jail.

Flory said all 10 of the projects were worthy, but he questioned the county’s ability to fund them at this time.

Other grants awarded include:

$29,500 to formalize plans for renovating two historic

inmate escape unlikely

Congress OKs bill for vets, contractors Democrats and Republicans rallied on a rare patch of common ground Wednesday and Congress approved legislation helping government contractors and unemployed veterans, finally giving President Barack Obama the chance to sign the first, tiny shred of his $447 billion jobs bill into law.

The House sent the bill to the White House by an overwhelming 422-0, six days after the Senate passed it 95-0.

The legislation creates tax breaks for companies hiring jobless veterans — a part of Obama’s jobs plan — and beefs up vets’ job-training and counseling programs.

It also repeals a 2006 law that would require the federal, state and local governments to withhold 3 percent of their payments to contractors.

That statute, which doesn’t take effect until 2013, was supposed to pressure contractors to fully pay their taxes, but lawmakers now say the withholding would deny cash to companies that they could better use to hire more workers.

Dog that survived gassing finds home The dog that survived an Alabama dog pound’s gas chamber has found a permanent home in New Jersey.

Daniel, a beagle mix named by animal control workers in Alabama after the biblical figure who survived the lion’s den, joined four other rescued dogs last Thursday at the home of Joe Dwyer and his family in Nutley, about 10 miles west of New York City.

“He’s in extremely good shape, especially in light of what he went through,” Dwyer said Wednesday after returning from a trip to the veterinarian. “His attitude is just incredible.”

Daniel surprised workers at the Animal Control facility in Florence, Ala., on Oct. 3, the day he was supposed to be put down with several other animals in a stainless-steel box roughly the size of a pickup truck bed that was filled with carbon monoxide.

The dog emerged frightened but unscathed, and was eventually flown to New Jersey by Eleventh Hour Rescue, a nonprofit that saves dogs slated for euthanasia.

Embracing Friends of Education Lengthy

2 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

A suburban St. Louis woman who claimed her 13-month-old son had vanished from his crib was charged Wednesday with murdering him after prosecutors say she admitted beating him because he wouldn’t stop crying.

Shelby Dasher, 20, was arrested less than 16 hours after she reported her son, Tyler, was missing.

People walking their dog found Tyler Dasher’s body on Tuesday near a cemetery about a mile from his home.

St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch said Dasher admitted to police that she repeatedly hit her son because he was crying and “wouldn’t lay down, wouldn’t go back to sleep.” He said she also told police she disposed of her son’s body.

“Raising children can be frustrating. There are a myriad of ways to handle that,” McCulloch said.

“This isn’t one of them.”

JANE ROCK GETS A HUG FROM JOHN DREES after recognizing him as a Friend of Education for his role as Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s community education specialist. The Friends of Education reception took place Wednesday at the Lawrence school district headquarters as part of an American Education Week celebration of school volunteering.

School district recognizes volunteers

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Registered nurse John Drees continues to find new ways to teach healthy messages, provide career lessons and offer teacher instruction to students, educators and administrators throughout the Lawrence school district.

And everyone, it seems, is listening.

“He has the X factor,” said Jane Rock, who teaches health sciences at Free State High School. “He has this ability

to connect with the audience, and that’s what makes him special. He knows how to meet the audience’s needs. He can bring it to the third-grade level and can crank it up a notch for the middle school and the high school levels. Not everyone can do that.

“And as a teacher, that’s what I appreciate.”

And that’s why Rock presented Drees, who works at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, as the districtwide Friend of Education during a ceremony Wednesday evening at district

headquarters, 110 McDonald Drive. The annual event allows the district to honor a volunteer from each school and program building.

More than 200 people attended the two-part ceremony, which included a reception featuring music from Lawrence High School’s Chamber Orchestra.

Mark Bradford, president of the Lawrence school board, said that volunteers provided invaluable service in a district

The odds of remaining free for long are against two Kansas inmates who escaped from the Lansing Correctional Facility Tuesday evening.

Chad Duane Amack, 22, and Matthew Glen Allender, 28, were reported missing from a minimum security unit at 6 p.m.

Tuesday.

The two are the fourth Kansas inmates to escape this year, and the 99th and 100th since 2005.

But only one of those escapees — Jose Ibanez, Amack who walked away from a work release program at the El Dorado Correctional Facility in 2007 — hasn’t been caught.

Another inmate, Ronny Dale Peters, also Allender escaped from Lansing on Sept. 14 and was caught two days later.

“That seems to be the pattern,” said Jan Lunsford, Kansas Department of Corrections spokesman, of the short length of freedom for many inmates — such as Peters — who escape.

Amack, serving a 23-month sentence for theft and burglary, was eligible for parole in March, and Allender, serving a 23-month sentence for two theft convictions, was eligible for parole in May. Add that to the poor odds of eluding capture and the increased prison time an escape can earn the two, and the incident seems puzzling to Lunsford.

“I’m amazed at these two in particular,” Lunsford said. “Who knows what motivates (them)?”

Both Amack and Allender could face aggravated escape from custody charges, which

is a level 8 nonperson felony in Kansas and could add about two years to their sentences.

Two Kansas escapees have eluded investigators and remained free for decades.

The state’s longest running escaped Kansas inmate is Priscilla Ann Frey, who escaped on Christmas Eve in 1974 from a women’s unit that used to be at the Lansing Correctional Facility.

The other is Randy Schmidt, who escaped with another inmate while working on the property at the state fairgrounds in Hutchinson on July 18, 1980.

Schmidt, serving a sentence for rape and sodomy, drove a state dump truck off the property. Schmidt’s escape partner was later arrested in Oklahoma, where he told investigators he split up with Schmidt.

Lunsford on Wednesday morning said he had no new information about Amack or Allender’s escape. Amack and Allender are considered armed and dangerous.

Amack is a white male, 5-feet-9, 175 pounds, with green eyes and brown hair.

Allender is a white male, 5-feet-8, 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information pertaining to their whereabouts should call 911 or the Lansing Correctional Facility at 913-727-3235.

committed to providing all students with a quality education.

“It takes all of us to achieve that goal,” he said, thanking honorees and their supporters.

Drees, as a community education specialist at the hospital, has been key in helping create a “career pathway” for students interested in health sciences and has connected with more than 2,500 freshmen through his matter-offact presentation, “One Night in the ER,” depicting the dangers of underage drinking and other risky behaviors.

He also organizes Kansas Kids Fitness Day for thirdgraders, as his educationoriented efforts continue to expand and reach broader audiences.

“I’m just lucky to be able to do that,” Drees said.

Others recognized Wednesday as the district’s 2011 Friends of Education, listed by school:

Adult Education Center: Khitam Al-Kofahi, a former student who has spent more than a year volunteering as a mentor in the center’s English as a Second Language classroom.

Broken Arrow: Dana Landes, described as a “goto parent volunteer” at the school, where she volunteers in classrooms, organizes Friday Folders, participates in field trips, coordinates class parties, helps with fundraising events, organizes book fairs, prepares food for staff — Reporter Shaun Hittle can be reached at members and serves on the 832-7173.

Kan. seeks to end part of abortion insurance lawsuit

TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas asked a federal judge Wednesday to reject a claim that a new state law restricting insurance coverage for abortion discriminates against women.

Attorneys for state Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger said in court filings that the law “rationally” promotes several legitimate state interests, including “promoting childbirth over abortion.” Praeger is the only defendant in the lawsuit, filed in August by the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri.

The new restrictions on insurance coverage were among several laws enacted this year in Kansas by anti-abortion majorities in the Legislature and Gov. Sam Brownback, a Republican abortion opponent who took office in January. Another law set out new regulations specifically for abortion providers, and two doctors who challenged those rules in federal court recently expanded their attack with a separate lawsuit in the state court system.

The law, which took effect July 1, prohibits insurance companies from offering abortion coverage as part of general health plans, except when a woman’s life is at risk, and — Schools reporter Mark Fagan can be patients wanting such coverreached at 832-7188.

— Mayor Aron Cromwell, who is chairman of the Solid Waste Task Force holds use the curbside recycling program.

If a household occasionally has more trash than it can fit into a 96-gallon container, each household is given five stickers that can be placed on trash bags that can be set out at the curb. If a trash bag has a sticker, it will be picked up.

If it doesn’t have a sticker, it won’t. Residents also can buy additional stickers.

The city also controls its costs by using trucks that are much more automated than the ones used in Lawrence.

Most of Boise’s trucks use a one-person crew instead of the three-person crews often used in Lawrence.

In Gainesville, residents pay anywhere from about $15 per month to $30 per month depending on what size of cart a household chooses to use. If a household has more trash than it can fit into its cart, it can buy five speciallymarked trash bags for $11.25.

Gainesville’s system includes a curbside recycling program that is included in all household rates.

Gainesville also primarily operates with a fleet of trucks that operates with a one-person crew instead of a threeperson crew.

The task force plans to discuss both systems in more detail at its Dec. 12 meeting.

Not all task force members are on board with the idea of the variable pricing system.

Two of the 10 members voted against the recommendation.

“I’m just not convinced that it is workable,” said Christine Tomlin, a task force member. “I’m not convinced that my neighbors aren’t going to

have bags of garbage piled up in their backyards.”

City commissioners ultimately will make any final determination about changes to the city’s trash system. A date hasn’t been set for commissioners to begin their debate on the subject, but the task force is expected to work at least through January.

‘Wizard of Oz’ Munchkin Karl Slover dies at 93 DUBLIN, GA. (AP) — Karl Slover, one of the last surviving actors who played Munchkins in the 1939 classic film, “The WizLindsey Wiegele, ard of Oz,” has died. He was 93.

Slover was best known for playing the lead trumpeter in the Munchkins’ band but also

had roles as a townsman and soldier in the film, said John Fricke, author of “100 Years of Oz” and five other books on the movie and its star, Judy Garland.

Slover was one of the tiniest male Munchkins in the movie.

After Slover retired, he continued to appear around the country at festivals and events related to the movie. He was one of seven Munchkins at the 2007 unveiling of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame dedicated to the little people in the movie. Only three remain of the 124 diminutive actors who played the Munchkins.

KBA: Investments helped create jobs, funding

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

The Kansas Bioscience Authority on Wednesday announced that its $87.5 million in investments since 2004 has led to $816.5 million in jobs created, external research funding, capital expenses and equity investments.

“We don’t take full credit for any of these outcomes,” said Sherlyn Manson, the KBA’s director of marketing and communications, as the KBA investments are often matched and supplemented

by other donations.

Still, KBA leaders touted the results as a demonstration that its grants and investments were helping to build the bioscience sector in the state.

Some figures released Wednesday include:

Since 2004, the authority said, 1,347 new full-time bioscience jobs have been created by 41 Kansas companies and universities, related to KBA investments, with an average annual wage of $68,716.

In the 2011 fiscal year that ended June 30, investments

that the KBA made helped attract $18.2 million in new external research funding, and since 2004 the authority reported $104.9 million in external research funding sparked by KBA investments, including $44.6 million in research funding for the Kansas University Cancer Center.

The authority reported $65.9 million in capital investments, including new facilities, equipment and land, related to KBA investments in the 2011 fiscal year and $278.5 million since 2004.

In fiscal year 2011, the

authority reported it had helped Kansas companies attract $30.6 million in new equity investments made by venture capital firms, angel investors and other private investors and helped attract $78.9 million since its founding in 2004.

The authority is still awaiting the final outcomes of a forensic audit of its finances by the firm BKD ordered by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback.

Man gets 32-month prison sentence for role in Walmart robbery

One of the men accused of serving as a lookout for the robbery, Nathan T. Moses, 31, of Lawrence, pleaded no contest to conspiracy to commit robbery Wednesday afternoon, and Malone is scheduled to sentence him Dec. 22.

RILING, BURKHEAD & NITCHER

There’s No Place L ike H om e

By Eunice Boeve Illustrated by Michelle Meade

Chapter 13 Grasshoppers!

Last Chapter:! The time machine brings the twins to Manhattan where Susan B. Anthony is giving a speech on women’s suffrage.! Seated among men and women and a few boys, Jack and Mollie are surprised to learn that Kansas women could not vote.! Later, wearing their special glasses, they look on the time machine’s computer and find that it wasn’t until 1912 that Kansas women could vote.

Jack and Mollie wondered what to do.

They were standing by a wheat field, no buildings in sight, and a storm was coming.

At least it looked like a storm.

Mollie was getting annoyed at the dozen or so grasshoppers that hopped about in the weeds and grasses. Some had hopped on their clothes and even in their hair.

They’d both looked for their glasses, but their pockets were empty.

“We’re going to get soaked, if it rains,” Mollie said frantically brushing off the grasshoppers. She knew she sounded cross, but she didn’t care. This was enough to make anybody cross. !

Jack started running, knocking grasshoppers off his clothes as he ran.

“Where are you going?”

Mollie demanded, running after him.

“I’m looking for a farmhouse, a barn, something,” Jack yelled.

Mollie made an ugly face at his back and said, “I don’t like stepping on grasshoppers.”

“Just be glad you’ve got shoes.”

By the time the twins reached the edge of the wheat field, the cloud had moved across the sun, grown bigger, and was now an odd shiny color.

“Look!” Jack pointed. “A house. A sod house.”

Just as he spoke, a sound like a big rainstorm filled the air.! But there was no rain.

“Grasshoppers!” Mollie yelled.! “Oh, my gosh, it’s raining grasshoppers!”!

Millions of grasshoppers were everywhere.! Grasshoppers were under

their feet and in their faces. Grasshoppers were in their hair and on their clothes.

Grasshoppers landed in the wheat field, on blades of grass, on weeds, and still the sky rained grasshoppers, hitting the ground with the sound of hail.

Jack and Mollie were soon covered with grasshoppers.! They slapped them off their clothes and brushed them from their faces.

Mollie shuddered at the feel of the tiny claws clinging to her skin. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

Jack grabbed her arm.! “We’ve got to get to that house!”!!

Again they ran, harder, faster, their shoes crunching grasshoppers.! The insects were now so thick they covered the whole ground and were piling up in bunches.

At the house, Jack banged a fist on the wooden door.

A woman opened the door a tiny crack, and seeing them, opened it just wide enough for them to slip inside before slamming it shut on the mass of hopping, wiggling insects.!

In dismay, their skin crawling with repulsion, the twins realized they were covered with the hoppers.

“Genny, Luther,” the woman commanded.!

“Get blankets!”!

The boy and the girl, both probably a few years older than the twins, grabbed up blankets, and the woman threw one over Mollie’s head, the blanket covering her completely, the insects clinging to her.! The boy did the same to Jack.! Then mother and son ran their hands up and down the blankets, crushing the insects.

The twins gasped for air as the boy and his mother pulled off the suffocating blankets

and shook the dead insects out on the dirt floor. The woman, who gave her name as Emma Hansen, swept up the mess of insects and dumped them in the stove.

Two smaller children in the house chased after the grasshoppers that had escaped and were hopping around the room.! The children stomped on them or captured them in their hands, squeezed the life out of them and dropped them in a pail.

“My husband is in town,” Emma Hansen told the twins. He should be home soon,” She paused, listening.! “That’s him now!”!

The door opened and Mr. Hansen squeezed inside and quickly shut the door.

“Get blankets, sheets, our winter coats, anything,” he said.! “Maybe we can save the garden.”

Jack and Mollie helped spread the blankets and coats and old gunnysacks all over the garden.! All around them and over them, the grasshoppers leaped and crawled and ate.

The grasshoppers covered a peach tree that grew beside the house.! Mr. Hansen took a rake and raked them off, but more took their place. He and the boy, Luther, grabbed shovels and dug a trench. They gathered dry grass and twigs and filled the trench, and Mr. Hansen set it on fire.! They raked the grasshoppers into the fire. But there were too many of them and they smothered the fire.

By the time the sun had set a few hours later, the peach tree was bare of leaves and fruit, only the pits remained, and the insects had also devoured the wheat and all the leaves of a big shade tree.! They also ate the garden. Crawling under the blankets, the gunnysacks, and the winter coats, they ate every vegetable to the ground.

Only the Hansen’s chickens liked the grasshoppers.! They gobbled them down until their craws were stuffed full.

Jack and Mollie kept feeling in their pockets for their glasses. They didn’t want to stay in this awful place any longer and they didn’t want to be a burden to this family.! And when the glasses magically appeared in their pockets, Mollie almost cried.

As the twins listened to the family talk about what to do, they knew they must leave as soon as possible..

“It is too late in the season to plant again,” Mr. Hansen said.

“Maybe we should go back to Illinois,” his wife said.

“I don’t know.”! Mr. Hansen’s voice was

suddenly ragged with unshed tears.!

Jack and Mollie felt like crying, too.!

These were nice people.! Once they had crops for food and to sell. Now they had nothing.

Mrs. Hansen lit a kerosene lamp as the little sod house filled with darkness.! “I’ll fix us a bite to eat and then maybe we’d best just go to bed,” she said. “Maybe they’ll be gone tomorrow.”

At those words, Jack and Mollie stepped back into the darkest shadows of the room and put on their glasses.

The next instant they stood outside on the green lawn of a two-story white house.! The sod house was gone.! The grasshoppers were gone.! The trees were green with leaves.

Flowers grew alongside the house and there was a garden, a green, growing garden.

“Thank goodness,” Mollie said.!

“I wonder if any of the Hansens still live here,” Jack said. “I wish we could ask,” They’d not known until their Hays trip, after seeing the Blue Light Lady, that with their glasses on they could be neither seen nor heard.

“I wonder where we are?” Jack said.

“Maybe it just rained grasshoppers here and nowhere else.” !!!!!!! “Maybe they were all over Kansas,” Mollie said, “even in Hays.”

To Be Continued.

Millionaires lobby Congress for higher taxes on rich

By Laurie Kellman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Lobbyists for a day, a band of millionaires stormed Capitol Hill on Wednesday to urge Congress to tax them more.

They had a little trouble getting in. It turns out there are procedures, even for the really rich.

But once inside, their message was embraced by liberals and tolerated by some conservatives — including the ideological leader of anti-tax lawmakers, who had some advice for them, too.

“If you think the federal government can spend your money better than you can, then by all means” pay more in taxes than you owe, said Grover Norquist, the head of a group that has gotten almost all congressional Republicans to pledge to vote against tax hikes. The IRS should have a little line on the form where people can donate money to the government, he suggested, “just like the tip line on a restaurant receipt.”

In the silence left by the private efforts of the “supercommittee” to find $1.2 trillion or more in deficit cuts

by Thanksgiving, free advice flowed in public.

And not just any advice: piein-the-sky suggestions from those not connected to the talks, mostly to reopen debates that have led nowhere. The millionaires want the panel to raise taxes on people who earn more than $1 million, even though most Republicans are committed against the idea.

And 150 House member and senators urged a much bigger debt-and-deficit deal, even as a small-scope agreement is proving elusive.

While they were at it, the lawmakers insisted that bipartisanship was not, in fact, dead.

This group of House members and senators shared a stage and some jokes and signed a letter urging the supercommittee of Republicans and Democrats to find the required $1.2 trillion in cuts — plus about $2.8 trillion more.

They all want the panel to avoid triggering automatic cuts as a penalty for failing.

“Congress working together,” read posters behind the group.

So this uneasy alliance of 150 Republicans and Democrats will vote for whatever deal the supercommittee strikes?

“No,” said House Demo-

cratic Whip Steny Hoyer.

“Nobody’s going to commit to the deal until they see the deal.”

What deal? There is no evidence that one is near, so the millionaires tried to meet with anyone who would meet with them.

The progressive caucus did, eagerly and on-camera.

The rest wasn’t so easy.

At a basement entrance to the Capitol, a police officer pointed to the name badges that identified each wearer as “Patriotic Millionaire.”

“That is not a visitor’s badge,” the officer said. “Go to the visitors desk and get a visitor’s badge.”

Off they trudged, a group mostly of men in businesscasual clothing toting laptops and umbrellas, to a desk visited by tourists and lobbyists.

Badges secured, they headed in.

Lawrence Benenson, vice president of Benenson Capitol Co., ran into freshman Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., in an elevator.

“I’m with the Patriotic Millionaires and we want to pay more in taxes,” he told her.

Noem grinned.

“How much more?” she asked.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Car dealers are getting a surprise end-of-the-year bonus: More Americans are replacing old cars and trucks, enlivening a normally sleepy time for auto sales and putting November on track to be the industry’s strongest month of the year.

Dealers and analysts say people are finally getting rid of cars and trucks they’ve held onto for more than a decade.

That demand, plus attractive lease deals, an ample supply of Japanese models and promotions on remaining 2011 models have drawn buyers to showrooms in large numbers the last two weeks.

Workers push back against earlier openings on, after Thanksgiving

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Count your blessings, then get to work.

That may be Thanksgiving for more retail workers this year, as stores desperate to pull in buyers on the first weekend of the holiday shopping season push their openings earlier and earlier. Unhappy workers who say it ruins their Thanksgiving celebrations are trying to persuade companies to back off, but retailers say they’re stuck: It’s what customers want.

Reporting to work at 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day ruins what is supposed to be a day spent with family, said Anthony Hardwick, who works part-time at a Target store in Omaha corralling carts. His online petition against Target Corp.’s plan to open at midnight on Black Friday had drawn more than 100,000 signatures from retail workers and the public by Wednesday, about two weeks after he launched it.

“The folks that work at Target are going to be working all night overnight on one of the most hectic retail days of the holidays,” Hardwick said, “they need to be wellrested for that, so they have to miss out on Thanksgiving if they’re going to be working overnight.”

Merchants are competing for shoppers on a weekend that can be critical for their annual sales and profits, and a

growing number fear opening at 4 a.m. or 5 a.m., as they have in recent years, may be too late in this challenging economy.

More than a decade ago, major retailers used to open their doors around 6 a.m. on Black Friday, but over the past five years they started to move that up to as early as 3 a.m.

A handful started limited testing of midnight openings several years ago. But midnight openings have proliferated this year, with Target Corp., Best Buy Co., Kohl’s Corp. and Bon-Ton Stores Inc. all announcing 12 a.m. openings for the first time.

Macy’s, which opened eight stores at midnight last year, is opening all of its 800-plus Macy’s stores nationwide at that time this year.

Retailers say they’re responding to consumer demand for an ever-earlier start to the holiday shopping season. A National Retail Federation survey last year shows that the number of shoppers who flocked to stores opening at midnight following the Thanksgiving feast tripled in 2010 from 2009.

“We have heard from our guests that they want to shop Target following their Thanksgiving celebrations rather than only having the option of getting up in the middle of the night,” said Molly Snyder, a spokeswoman for Minneapolis-based Target.

STUDY

Women more likely to have broken hearts

By Marilynn Marchione Associated Press

ORLANDO, FLA. — A woman’s heart breaks more easily than a man’s.

Females are seven to nine times more likely to suffer “broken heart syndrome,” when sudden or prolonged stress like an emotional breakup or death causes overwhelming heart failure or heart attack-like symptoms, the first nationwide study of this finds. Usually patients recover with no lasting damage.

The classic case is “a woman who has just lost her husband,” said Dr. Mariell Jessup, a University of Pennsylvania heart failure specialist who has treated many such cases.

Cyndy Bizon feared that was happening when her husband, Joel, suffered a massive heart attack in 2005. “May God work through your hands,” the Maine woman told the surgeon as her husband was wheeled past her into the operating room. She later collapsed at a nurse’s station from “broken heart syndrome” and wound up in coronary care with him. Both survived.

Japanese doctors first recognized this syndrome around 1990 and named it Takotsubo cardiomyopathy; tako tsubo are octopus traps that resemble the unusual pot-like shape of the stricken heart.

It happens when a big shock, even a good one like winning the lottery, triggers a rush of adrenaline and other stress hormones that cause the heart’s main pumping chamber to balloon suddenly and not work right. Tests show dramatic changes in rhythm and blood substances typical of a heart attack, but no artery blockages that typically cause one. Most victims recover within weeks, but in rare cases it proves fatal.

Gingrich defends big contracts with Freddie Mac

By Pete Yost and Thomas Beaumont Associated Press

URBANDALE, IOWA — Rising in polls and receiving greater scrutiny, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich found himself on the defensive Wednesday over huge payments he received over the past decade from the mortgage giant Freddie Mac. Gingrich, who now is near the top in polling on the GOP race, said he didn’t remember exactly how much he was paid, but a person familiar with the hiring said it was at least $1.6 million for consulting contracts stretching from 1999 to early 2008. The person spoke on condition of anonymity in order address a personnel matter.

Long unpopular among Republicans, federally backed Freddie Mac and its larger sister institution, Fannie Mae, have become targets for criticism stemming from the housing crisis that helped drive the nation deep into recession and then hampered recovery. Gingrich himself criticized Barack Obama in 2008 for accepting contributions from executives of the two companies.

BRIEFLY Suspect arrested for shooting White House WASHINGTON — A man with an apparent obsession with President Barack Obama has been arrested in Pennsylvania after the Secret Service discovered two bullets struck the White House while the president was away, authorities said Wednesday.

One bullet smashed into a window of the living quarters of the executive mansion but was stopped by ballistic glass.

The arrest of Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, 21, came days after reports of shots fired on Friday night near the White House while Obama and his wife, Michelle, were on a trip to California and Hawaii. The president has since traveled on to Australia, second stop on a nine-day Asia-Pacific tour, and the White House had no comment on the unfolding events.

The U.S. Secret Service said it discovered Tuesday that the two bullets hit the White House. U.S. Park Police had earlier linked Ortega, a 21-yearold man from Idaho Falls, Idaho, to the reports of gunfire.

Speaking with reporters in Iowa on Wednesday, Gingrich said he provided “strategic advice for a long period of time” after he resigned as House speaker following his party’s losses in the 1998 elections. He defended Freddie Mac’s role in housing finance and said, “every American should be interested in expanding housing opportunities.”

On Tuesday, a House committee Gingrich voted to strip top executives of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae of huge salaries and bonuses and to put them on the same pay scale as federal employees. After disastrous losses, both companies were taken over by the government in 2008, and since then a federal regulator has controlled their financial decisions.

During the 2008 campaign, Gingrich suggested in a Fox News interview that presidential candidate Obama should return contributions he had received from ex-

ecutives of the two companies. He said that in a debate with Obama, GOP presidential nominee John McCain “should have turned and said, ‘Senator Obama, are you prepared to give back all the money that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae gave you?’”

Gingrich sought Wednesday to portray his history with Freddie Mac as a sign of valuable experience.

“It reminds people that I know a great deal about Washington,” he said. “We just tried four years of amateur ignorance, and it didn’t work very well. So having someone who actually knows Washington might be a really good thing.”

At least one of his rivals assailed him over the matter.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s $300,000 or $2 million, the point is the money that was taken by Newt Gingrich was taken to influence Republicans in Congress to be in support of Fannie and Freddie,” Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann said in a telephone interview. “While Newt was taking money from Fanny and Freddie I was fighting against them.”

Now what? Few tangible effects of Wall St. protests

By David Caruso and Meghan Barr Associated Press

NEW YORK — Everywhere, it seems, people want to weigh in about the Occupy Wall Street protests around the country, from CEOs and politicians to your next-door neighbor. So far the talk has translated into little action.

Two months into the movement, with police dismantling the encampments one by one, city by city, few politicians or policymakers have publicly taken up the protesters’ cause and done anything to address corporate excesses and economic inequality.

But some political observers say the demonstrators have changed the conversation in the U.S., and that is a big first step.

“They’ve shifted the center of gravity of the debate so that the whole question of wealth and privilege is now being discussed,” said William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, Monti forms new the Washington political Italian government think tank. “In a democracy, what people are talking about ROME — Italian Premier Mamatters.” rio Monti formed a government Georgia state Sen.

Whitehouse is trying to channel the anger that has bubbled up in the Occupy movement against big banks as he seeks support for a bill to crack down on credit card interest rates.

Union leaders say the Occupy movement has also brought a spark of optimism and energy to organized labor after a summer of setbacks and assaults on their bargaining power.

“The Occupy movement has framed the fight,” said Mary Kay Henry, president of the Service Employees International Union. “They’ve totally changed the debate within a 30-day period.” She added: “It has impacted expectations among people who were beaten down.”

In fact, labor leaders insist the Occupy movement’s message of economic inequality was a factor earlier this month in Ohio, where voters overwhelmingly repealed a law curtailing public employees’ right to collective bargaining.

But political experts are skeptical of that claim.

“That’s a stretch,” said Paul Beck, a political science professor at the Ohio State University in Columbus. “The sentiment of Ohioans on that bill very much precedes any of the Occupy Wall Street activities and their spinoffs in various cities.”

Syria faces army defectors, isolation BEIRUT — Syria’s president faced a growing challenge to his iron rule from home and abroad Wednesday, with renegade troops launching their most daring attack yet on the military and world leaders looking at possibilities for a regime without Bashar Assad.

France recalled its ambassador to Damascus in the wake of recent attacks against diplomatic missions and increasing violence stemming from the 8-month-old uprising. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said warned that “the vise is tightening” around Assad, and a government spokeswoman said Paris is working with the Syrian opposition to find an alternative to the regime.

Gingrich’s history at Freddie Mac began in 1999, when he was hired by the company’s top lobbyist, Mitchell Delk. He was brought in for strategic consulting, primarily on legislative and regulatory issues, the company said at the time.

That job, which paid about $30,000 a month, lasted until sometime in 2002.

In 2006, Gingrich was hired again on a two-year contract that paid him $300,000 annually, again to provide strategic advice while the company fended off attacks from the right wing of the Republican Party.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae for years had been under scrutiny from Republicans on Capitol Hill who opposed government involvement in the mortgage business and wanted to scale back the companies’ size and impose tough regulation.

KU efficiency Kansas University needs to look at how it can trim its expenses without hurting its drive to be an attractive and high-quality institution.

J

ust as individual households and businesses across the state and the country have been doing during this recession, Kansas University is now considering ways to tighten its belt.

For a research university producing our leaders of tomorrow, that might not sound prudent or wise. Saving a buck today could prove costly tomorrow. Yet that doesn’t mean KU shouldn’t look for efficiencies and make the most logical moves to allow it to focus on what’s most important: a high-quality university that’s a leader and a place top students want to attend.

KU leaders have hired Huron Consulting to look for ways to do the university’s business smarter and KU is Lawrence’s more productivetop employer, so the ly. KU officials community would be and Huron Conlast week wise to pay attention sulting said their work to what happens likely would lead during this process, to job cuts, consolidations and especially when it other efficiencies begins to unveil its in how KU does findings about how business. Jeff Vitthe university can ter, KU’s provost and executive operate more vice chancellor, efficiently.” acknowledged last week that some of the initiatives will involve cutbacks in personnel.

“We would certainly do everything we can to use attrition to handle job reductions,” Vitter said. “That doesn’t mean there won’t be job losses.” As for how many positions will be lost as a result of this effort, Vitter said he didn’t know.

KU is Lawrence’s top employer, so the community would be wise to pay attention to what happens during this process, especially when it begins to unveil its findings about how the university can operate more efficiently. What happens at KU has wide reaching effects across the city, county and the state.

Certainly there is potential for consolidation and efficiencies among departments such as facilities and maintenance, information technology, libraries, administration and business centers. It’s good the questions are being asked and studied.

Throughout the process, KU and Huron Consulting should balance the need for KU to be a top university and the value of being efficient. KU can’t afford to lose on either end.

Economic goals clash with political goals WASHINGTON — Born during what is mistakenly called the debt-ceiling “debacle” last summer, the supercommittee may die without sending Congress a 10-year $1.2 trillion (at least) deficit-reduction plan. This is not properly labeled a failure. Committee Democrats demanded more revenues; Republicans offered $500 billion; Democrats responded with the one-syllable distillation of liberalism: “More!” So the committee has been a clarifying event that presages a larger one — next November’s elections.

The messiness surrounding the debt-ceiling increase was what democracy looks like when belatedly confronting big problems.

Remember, Barack Obama demanded, until doing so became politically untenable, a “clean” ceiling increase — no supercommittee or other threat to his spending torrent.

The supercommittee should by now have sent its plan to the Congressional Budget Office for “scoring” — calculation of the fiscal consequences of its proposals. The law establishing the committee requires any proposal to be published in legislative language 48 hours before the 23rd. Not that law has much to do with fiscal matters: The Democratic-controlled Senate has not produced a budget in more than 930 days. This is just one way existing budget law is ignored.

Regarding the supercommittee, the interests of Harry Reid and Obama diverge. Imitation is the sincerest form of politics, and Obama needs congressional failure as he seeks re-election by emulating Harry Truman in 1948, running against a “do-nothing” Congress. Reid, however, wants to remain Senate majority leader. In 2012, Democrats will be defending 23 seats, Republicans only 10. Republicans need to gain just four seats to control the Senate. Reid’s members cannot relish running while Obama is denouncing the “Republican Congress.” As if the Democratic-controlled Senate has been temporarily disassociated from Congress.

Sensible people who remember the last grand budget bargain will be dry-eyed about

them is so narrow it is difficult to see that there are two lines. Without the sequester, spending will increase $1.7 trillion; with the sequester, spending will increase $1.6 trillion. Here are categories of spending:

Sensible people who remember the last grand budget bargain will be dry-eyed about not having another now.” not having another now. Although only 21 of the 242 Republicans currently in the House and eight of 47 Republicans in the Senate were on Capitol Hill in 1990, everyone there should remember the results of that year’s budget agreement, wherein President George H.W. Bush jettisoned his “no new taxes” pledge: Taxes increased. So did spending. And the deficit. Economic growth decreased.

Congressional failure to approve a supercommittee proposal supposedly will trigger a $1.2 trillion sequester, half from national security budgets. But the trigger will not be pulled until 2013. No Congress can bind another, and any trigger Congress creates Congress can disable. Obama, who may not be president then, hints that he might veto legislation that alters the sequester. But suppose the sequester occurs. Ignore loose talk about “draconian” spending cuts. Veronique de Rugy of George Mason University’s Mercatus Center has a graph (http:// bit.ly/uKZAUd) you should see.

It shows two lines. The top one charts spending, 2013-2021, without the sequester, the other shows spending with the sequester. Both lines are ascending. Both show annual spending rising from below $4 trillion to more than $5 trillion. The space between

10-Year Spending Increases Without With Defense 20 percent 18 percent Nondefense Discretionary 14 percent 12 percent Medicare 62 percent 62 percent Other Mandatory 51 percent 51 percent Net Interest 152 percent 136 percent The supercommittee’s difficulties are not shocking. This is shocking: Amid a darkening fiscal crisis, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, whose department has become a huge and incompetent venture capital fund, has not resigned as penance for complicity in the administration’s “green graft” and crony capitalism.

Equally incomprehensible: As the supercommittee seems about to leave government’s spending curve unbent, Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood, who should take a high-speed train into retirement, continues his multibillion-dollar mania for California’s San Francisco-to-Anaheim high-speed rail project. In just three years the projected price of it has tripled (so far) to $98.5 billion and only ludicrous assumptions about passenger traffic present the project as profitable enough to attract private investors, who are supposed to pay most of the costs.

“The first lesson of economics is scarcity,” writes economist Thomas Sowell.

“There is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.” Next November we will learn whether the second lesson of politics is that adhering to the first lesson is eventually dangerous to incumbents.

Military cuts To the editor: My son is a lieutenant in the Army. He loves the United States and plans to continue fighting for our country.

I am concerned about the $350 billion being cut from military spending. Maybe the Joint Chiefs of Staff can manage that amount. However, if $500 billion more in cuts are made, it will put our country, troops and their families at risk. Things that could be on the block include plans to modernize the nation’s arsenal as well as the benefits now guaranteed to retired military personnel.

Many of the people stay in our military because of those benefits and love for their country. We get the military leaders from people who stay in and plan to retire from the armed forces. We need all the leaders who are in command to stay. Lack of good benefits could reduce the number of career service members. It would concern members whether their families would continue to get the support they need, especially when they are away from home.

Our troops should not have to worry while serving in Iraq, Afghanistan or elsewhere but concentrate on getting the job done.

There are other ways to cut the federal budget, and our Congress members should choose to protect our status as a super power that provides protection around the world.

Gayle Hayes, Lawrence

Immigration move To the editor: Sunday’s story “Legislature will have plate full of meaty issues” featured Secretary of State Kris Kobach arguing in favor of passing harsh Alabama-style “show me your papers” anti-immigrant legislation in the next session

of the Kansas Legislature. We’re all frustrated with our broken immigration system, but disregarding our nation’s cherished values of justice and equality is unacceptable.

The Kansas Legislature listened to business leaders, local governments, social service providers, religious institutions and community groups in rejecting a similar proposal in 2011. Since then, the evidence that this is a very costly move has only grown with each state that has pursued this policy. In 2012, having learned from those who have gone before, Kansas should again put good policy-making above divisive politics. Let’s leave immigrants alone and focus on the other pressing issues before us.

Genevieve Rae Busby, Baldwin City

Issue settled To the editor: Monday, I heard that the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on the legality of the purchase mandate and other parts of the Affordable Health Care Act next spring.

As a person who knows the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution verbatim I wonder what leg these states’ rights people think they have to stand on. Both states and Indian tribes are sovereign to govern themselves but dependent on the federal government for protection. This isn’t my opinion.

This is the opinion of one U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall in his rulings in the Worcester v. Georgia and Cherokee v. Georgia rulings of the 1830s in response to the state rights position of one President Andrew Jackson.

These people think that the Articles of Confederation is the valid constitutional document the way they sound. Sorry, the U.S. Constitution replaced it in 1787 and gave the U.S. Congress that passed the health care law ple-

nary power to regulate commerce. This isn’t federal overstepping. It’s Republicans having a temper tantrum fighting the U.S. Civil War all over again, which was lost by states’ rights governments.

I went to Constitution Day at the Lied Center. The anti-health care bill attorney was full of inferences and no facts. Legal cases are won with facts, not inference and smear tactics. This bill should be intact unless those justices who support smear tactics and inference bow to their corporate lackeys and pull another Gore v. Bush travesty.

Mike Ford, Baldwin City

People’s choice To the editor: Cal Thomas’ Nov. 15 column relating the Penn State situation with our nation’s is right on target. 1 Samuel 12:14 (ESV) says, “If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well.” You refers to “we the people,” and the king refers to those in political leadership.

We are in the early stages of a national election where the “king” and other key officials will be elected to offices. Our and their choices will determine the future course of this nation. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Do we want to live our lives without moral constraints contrary to God’s commandments or do we want to experience a healed nation under God’s direction where “it will be well”?

The choice is ours!

Self: UK could be top team

KANSAS 73, CREIGHTON 59

Back with a bang

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University coach Bill Self believes the Kentucky basketball team that pasted KU, 75-65, on Tuesday in New York ranks as one of the finest squads his Jayhawks have faced in the past nine years.

“We’ve played two teams that would rival them from a talent standpoint — one would be Memphis, and one would be Florida,” Self said Wednesday on his Hawk Talk radio show.

The Jayhawks downed eventual national champion Florida, 82-80, in overtime on Nov. 25, 2006, in Las Vegas, and toppled Memphis, 75-68, in overtime in the 2008 NCAA title game.

“You are looking at maybe four lottery picks,” Self added of UK’s Terrence Jones, Anthony Davis, Marquis Teague and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and/or Doron Lamb.

“If they keep getting better, they have a chance to be the best team in the country,” Self added.

“From a raw-talent standpoint, even the Carolina team we faced in the Final Four with (Ty) Lawson, (Wayne) Ellington, (Tyler) Hansbrough and Danny Green ... this Kentucky team may even be superior to that. That’s some hard-rocking dudes. They have a real shot (at 2012 national title).”

Kentucky’s athletic big men blocked 13 shots Tuesday, the most ever against a KU team.

Texas blocked 12 KU shots in a 80-68 loss to the Jayhawks on Feb. 8, 2010, in Austin, Texas.

“A lot of it was because we didn’t do what we should have done to get the ball in certain areas and maybe took some bad shots,” Self said. “For them to block that many shots and for us to outrebound them (3934) ... they got eight offensive rebounds and several early off long bounces. I thought our defense and rebounding were exceptional.”

The score was knotted at 28 at halftime.

“They didn’t play great at all the first half, in large part because we really guarded them,” Self said. “Their best offense was our offense, which is pretty sad to say, because they scored off our offense. Bad shots led to run-outs. Turnovers led to numbers.”

Kentucky used a 24-7 run to bust a 30-30 tie and put the game away by the 10-minute mark of the second half.

Self, who watched game film upon the Jayhawks’ 7 a.m. return to Lawrence following an earlymorning charter flight, said it was a “good teaching tape.” He held a film session and practice Wednesday night.

“This is what I think we take for granted sometimes, and I as a coach take for granted ... we had one guy (on team) who has actually had pressure on him ever before in a game. That’s Tyshawn (Taylor),” Self said of the senior point guard who scored 22 points, but had five shots blocked.

He then rattled off the names of Elijah Johnson, Thomas Robinson, Travis Releford, Jeff Withey, Conner Teahan, Justin Wesley and Naadir Tharpe as “never having any pressure on them (before).

“You say, ‘Well that’s not true, he played in this game or that game (in past).’ No, no, no, no, no,” Self said. “He (may have) played in that game. He stayed in the game if he played really, really well. If he didn’t play well, he was coming out because there’s a lot of guys that look alike we could put in.

“We knew that going in, but I thought it was a different feel.

Injured forward Davis returns, leads Jayhawks past Bluejays

Freshman Miller produces with pop, power “

He gets through small spaces, and he’s one of those guys who, once you get your hands on him, you better keep your hands on him.”

— Kansas center Jeremiah Hatch on freshman running back Darrian Miller

Please see KU MEN, page 3B Miller

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

With the way he has run from the first scrimmage of the spring to last week’s loss against Baylor, it’s hard to believe the Kansas University coaching staff once questioned Darrian Miller’s commitment.

According to offensive coordinator Chuck Long, that was the case when Miller, a true freshman from Blue Springs, Mo., first arrived on campus a semester early last spring.

“In the first scrimmage, we thought he had something going,” said Long, referring to Miller’s raw talent. “But he was fresh out of high school, and, at first, we were wondering if he was focused on being here or going to the prom. But he just got better and better and gained more confidence.”

The numbers show that better than Miller’s running style, which hasn’t changed. From his first carry against McNeese State in the season opener to the last carry of his career day against Baylor last week, Miller has run with the same slippery style that appears to be an equal mix of power and precision.

“He gets through small spaces, and he’s one of those guys who, once you get your hands on him, you better keep your hands on him,” said KU center Jeremiah Hatch. “I’ve never played for a back like that. He makes us offensive linemen look pretty good.”

FALL CONCERT

Saturday, November 19, 2011 - 4 pm This program is presented in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

For someone who hasn’t been practicing, Kansas University women’s basketball forward Carolyn Davis didn’t show many signs of rust Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.

The junior captain only played 18 minutes in her first action since suffering a stress fracture in her right foot, but she scored 14 points for the Jayhawks in a 7359 victory against Creighton.

Davis, who missed the season-opening victory against Western Michigan on Sunday, had been held out of practice in the days leading up to Wednesday’s game, KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. But the 6-foot-3 forward was persistent in bugging her coach to let her play because she was tired of being relegated to the exercise bike instead of running up and down the floor with her teammates at practices.

Henrickson gave Davis the OK to play, and start, after she went through 10 minutes at shoot-around hours before the game and begged her coach to let her do a layup drill after that.

Still, Davis, KU’s preseason All-Big 12 forward, wasn’t confident everything would go off without a hitch.

“I was worried about my stamina, if I would be able to run up and down,” she said.

Davis played nine minutes in the first half and scored six points on 3-of3 shooting. Her first touch came on the Jayhawks’ second possession, but that was on the wing, under pressure, and she quickly passed the ball away. On KU’s third possession, she was once again the focus of Bluejay defenders on the perimeter and turned the ball over after receiving an in-bound pass.

The next time down the floor, Davis

Some downs Miller will dash to the outside and use his tremendous balance and vision to juke a defender. On others, he’ll hammer away, head down, legs churning. Then there’s the occasional carry in which Miller is pin-balled around by defenders but never stops moving forward and never goes down. At times,

he’s hit four or five times on a single carry before going to the ground. Long and the coaching staff love those carries.

“It’s hard to change that part of a running back,” Long said.

“That’s why you recruit him. We liked what he did. We liked the fact that he has that balance and can make the yards after contact so we don’t say much to him in that regard. I know (running backs) coach (Reggie) Mitchell coaches him up on not taking direct shots, how to use your shoulders, how to stiff-arm. But we don’t want to change much more than that.”

The only thing about Miller that has changed during the first season of what seems to be shaping up as a promising college career is the frequency with which he is used.

In each of the last two weeks, Miller has turned in career highs for carries and yards. First came a 17-tote, 70-yard performance against Iowa State. Then came the breakout performance — 147 yards on 24 carries — against Baylor.

“The game has slowed down a little bit for him, and you’re Please see MILLER, page 3B

Trustee to serve as acting Penn State AD STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Penn State is turning to a member of its board of trustees who played football and wrestled for the school to serve as its acting athletic director in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal.

Dr. David M. Joyner, a business consultant and an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine, will take over the job performed until last week by Tim Curley.

Curley is on leave as he defends himself against criminal charges that he failed to properly alert authorities when told Sandusky allegedly sodomized a young boy in the Penn State football showers in 2002, and that he lied to a grand jury.

Sandusky was charged Nov. 5 with sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year span starting in 1994.

Joynerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on the board,

where he has been a trustee since 2000, is being suspended as he takes on the new duties.

Among his likely tasks will be finding a replacement for Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno, who was fired last week by trustees amid mounting criticism that he and other school leaders should have done more to stop the alleged attacks.

Longtime school president Graham Spanier also was fired,

replaced by Rod Erickson, previously the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief academic officer since 1999.

University vice president Bill Mahon said on Tuesday that Erickson wants to make sure the school is â&#x20AC;&#x153;better aligned,â&#x20AC;? and that there are no opportunities for miscommunication between athletics and the rest of the school, or a lack or hesitancy to communicate.

COMMENTARY

NCAA better at selling than regulating

Gibson, Maddon managers of the year NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kirk Gibson took a toughguy approach. So much so, he brought three Navy SEALs to spring training.

The SEALs wrote D, W and I on a board.

The letters stood for a sense of purpose, not a traffic offense: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deal With It.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They bought into it,â&#x20AC;? said Gibson, voted the NL Manager of the Year on Wednesday after the guiding the Arizona Diamondbacks to a worstto-first finish.

Joe Maddon took a different tack. After Tampa Bay lost its first six games, he proclaimed with a great flourish that this team was Gibson the best 0-6 club in baseball history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a lot of people are into the Raysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; style,â&#x20AC;? he said after being chosen the AL Manager of the Year.

Gibson was a clear choice for guiding the Diamondbacks to a runaway NL West title. A former MVP as a roughMaddon and-tumble outfielder, he was honored in his first full season as a big league manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I certainly had a vision,â&#x20AC;? Gibson said during a conference call while on vacation in northern Michigan, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not all because of me.â&#x20AC;?

Maddon won the AL award for the second time. He was an easy pick after helping the Rays overcame a nine-game deficit to beat out Boston for the wild-card spot on the last day. It was the biggest rally any team had made in September to claim a playoff berth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to think of it as a validation of the Raysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; way of doing things,â&#x20AC;?

Your holiday shopping is now a little easier, thanks to the good folks at the NCAA. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found a mission they can rally around, something to make sure their organization remains relevant.

Pick a school, any school, and a couple clicks of the mouse is all it takes to get anything from pajamas to iPhone covers adorned with the mascot of your favorite institution of higher education. For Penn State alone, there are 603 different items from Santa hats to boxer shorts to show your loyalty to the Nittany Lions.

Just $4.99 flat rate shipping.

Sadly, there are no Joe Paterno replica dark glasses in stock.

There are, however, T-shirts proclaiming Pittsburgh a proud member of the Big East Conference. Get them while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still hot, because they, like Pitt, are going fast.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all available online, in time for the holidays and for any football player who might have an extra, say, $2,000 burning a hole in his or her pocket. Sell enough of it, and the NCAA might even have enough money to fly a staffer to Happy Valley and see if all the stuff about the Penn State football program is really true.

If that trip is too tough in winter, maybe someone could head down to Miami, where the scholarships come complete with invitations to parties in mansions with local lovelies.

Or maybe just get in a car and keep driving west until they find the Big East.

That could be in Idaho, of all places, where the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s laissez faire approach to its subjects is on full display.

Maybe by then the NCAA will have figured out that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minding the wrong store.

T-shirts and cuddly mascots it can handle. When it comes to the other stuff, the NCAA doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even seem to be trying.

The biggest scandal in a sport littered with scandals wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to bring the organization off the sidelines. Letting the legal process play out is a noble idea, but the NCAA abdicated its responsibilities once again by allowing the child sex abuse scandal at Penn State to unfold with little more than a prepared statement out of Indianapolis.

The same agency that once tried to oust former basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian from UNLV simply because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like him stayed on the sidelines as Penn State sorted out the whole sordid mess itself.

Regulate college athletics? Please. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard enough helping schools count the hundreds of millions of dollars theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got coming in from new television deals.

The NCAA isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t above slapping the hands of its members on occasion, as it did the other day in taking away a scholarship from Oklahoma and making the school forfeit some wins because of basketball violations. That was low-hanging fruit, though, served up by the school in an ultimately successful effort to escape more serious punishment as a repeat offender.

The Fiesta Bowl fared even better earlier this year, despite a report that tens of thousands of dollars were spent on strip clubs, golf junkets and almost anything but the game itself by the bowlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director. Not only did the NCAA do nothing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; save for putting the bowl on a meaningless one-year probation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Bowl Championship Series kept the Fiesta Bowl in its lucrative postseason rotation.

Meanwhile, schools are jumping from conference to conference in pursuit of TV dollars, and the NCAA still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dare to step in and try to restore order.

The big conferences and the TV networks run college football, not the NCAA. The NCAA could take a stand on television contracts, huge coaching salaries and the runaway excess that is everywhere in the sport.

That it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t may doom its own future since the organization stands to become increasingly irrelevant. Indeed, there may be a day when major conferences go off on their own in big money sports, and the NCAA is relegated to overseeing lacrosse and rowing, Not to worry. There will always be plenty of T-shirts to sell.

Crane reportedly agreed to the move in exchange for a drop in the sales price valued earlier this year at $680 million. The person who spoke to the AP could not confirm the sales price.

The MLB Players Association believes two 15-team leagues would create a more proportionate schedule and has urged baseball to make the switch. With schedules for next season already completed, the earliest such a move could take place is 2013.

New Mexico hires Davie ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New Mexico has hired former Notre Dame coach Bob Davie to head up its troubled football program.

Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs announced the appointment Wednesday. UNM has scheduled a news conference this afternoon to introduce Davie, who will become the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 31st head coach.

Davie hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coached since being fired in 2001 by Notre Dame. During his five years as head coach of the Irish, he compiled a 35-25 record, which at the time was the third-worst winning percentage for the Irish. He also led the team to three bowl games, all losses.

Cassel has hand surgery KANSAS CITY, MO. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel has had surgery on his injured throwing hand, and coach Todd Haley still hopes that Cassel will be back this season.

Cassel hurt his right hand in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17-10 loss to Denver. The former Pro Bowl quarterback had surgery Monday evening to repair what Haley called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;significantâ&#x20AC;? injury.

Haley said Wednesday he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when Cassel will be able to return. The team has not placed him on injured reserve, which means he could return this season. Haley said much of that will depend on how Cassel recovers this week.

The Chiefs play Monday night at New England, giving backup Tyler Palko a little more time to prepare. Rookie Ricky Stanzi will be the backup.

KU VOLLEYBALL

Kansas falls to Oklahoma, 3-1

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

It’s beyond old for this Kansas University volleyball team.

The effort is there every match, the Jayhawks are usually in position to win close sets, and the attitude going into the matches is generally positive.

But for whatever reason, the losses just keep piling up.

“Those kids are playing their butts off, and they want different results,” Kansas coach Ray Bechard said after Wednesday’s 3-1 loss to Oklahoma. “They’re human, too, so there’s frustration, there’s disappointment. But I guarantee you tomorrow at 3 o’clock when we get going again, we’ll get after it.”

The Sooners (20-9 overall, 7-6 Big 12) came to the Horejsi Center and left with a four-set victory, 20-25, 26-24, 23-25, 17-25, using just about every conceivable shot.

When something went right for the Jayhawks and they sent the ball over the net, it came right back at them.

The Jayhawks (14-13, 2-12) have seen promising efforts end in vain ever since conference play started. Take the third set, for example. Each team had one set apiece, and the Jayhawks had a 1714 lead. But unforced errors derailed the momentum, and Kansas lost the pivotal set by two. The Sooners then overwhelmed the Jayhawks in the final set, 25-17.

“That’s really frustrating,” Bechard said. “There’s highlevel volleyball. Those are plays where our intent’s right, but our execution in that situation has got to be better.”

KANSAS DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST JAIME MATHIEU (14) KEEPS THE BALL IN PLAY during the Jayhawks’ four-set loss to Oklahoma on Wednesday at Horejsi Center.

For the match, the Jayhawks had a half-point more than the Sooners, but they also had 26 errors to Oklahoma’s 12. Bechard said the Jayhawks can cut those down by shortening opponents’ rallies and winning points earlier.

Freshman Chelsea Albers, who had a career-high 10 kills, didn’t attribute these losses to anything except the sport itself.

“Volleyball’s not really a game of luck,” she said.

“That’s just how the game goes. One day you’re scrappy, one day you’re not.”

When the Jayhawks start practice again, this loss will

be forgotten. Bechard said, regardless of how everything else has gone, Wednesday’s match against Kansas State in Manhattan and next Saturday’s final home match against Baylor are enough to refocus the team.

“As long as you’ve got KState to play and have a senior night left, I can’t imagine you having a much bigger week than that,” Bechard said.

But the Jayhawks have had to rebound from losses all season — with or without significant events coming up.

Sophomore Caroline Jarmoc, who was second on the team with 14 kills, said it hasn’t

The guys were juiced, jacked, played hard, went after the ball with two hands, did good things, but there was some doubt that crept in. When you are not quite as confident, you do look slow and hesitant. That will change.”

seeing him being a lot more productive,” KU coach Turner Gill said. “We were able to put more on him because he was here in the spring. I think the good thing is he is taking care of the ball. He’s a hard runner, a very determined runner.”

In Long’s eyes, Miller has achieved more during his first season of college football than many of the running backs he worked with in the past, both as a coach and a player.

“As far as knowing more, yes, I think he’s ahead of the curve that way,” Long said.

“He’s a smart guy, and he’s starting to understand things really well now.”

The way his teammates tell it, Miller’s God-given ability already has placed him in an elite group.

“I’d like to think I’ve faced some pretty good running backs,” senior co-captain Steven Johnson said. “And Darrian’s up there.”

Added sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb: “He’s got balance like I’ve never seen. For him to keep some of those plays alive like he does, it’s a big thing for us and it just gives us even more yardage. He’s just a spectacular back, and we’re all excited about what the future holds for him.”

Johnson, Shealy punished

by Big 12 for comments The Big 12 announced a public reprimand of KU defensive coordinator Vic Shealy and senior linebacker Steven Johnson for their comments about a face-mask penalty during last week’s loss to Baylor, which the league deemed to be a violation of the Big 12’s Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct rules.

“Both individuals violated Conference rules that prohibit coaches, student-athletes, athletic department staff and university personnel from making public comments about game officials,” said Big 12 interim commissioner Chuck Neinas on the league’s web site. “Consistent with our precedent for such violations, they are being issued a public reprimand.”

Asked about the league’s action after Wednesday’s practice, Gill said it would be addressed internally.

“We’ll talk about it,” he said. “We’re gonna let the officials officiate, and we gotta coach and let our players play.

And that’s really about all it’s about, and we’ll move on.”

Miller clone on tap?

When the Jayhawks take on Texas A&M this weekend in College Station, Texas — 11 a.m. kickoff Saturday — they could very well be facing the future version of freshman running back Darrian Miller.

Like Miller, A&M senior Cyrus Gray stands 5-foot-10 and runs hard. Although the A&M back has 10 pounds on Proudly presents:

KU men

the KU freshman — Gray weighs 200 and Miller 190 — the two have similar running styles.

“They both run very hard,” Gill said. “The first person making contact with them usually doesn’t stop them or knock them back. They still move forward. (Gray) might be a little bit thicker than Darrian, but, again, there’s the difference in age, too.”

Regardless, Gray has the respect of the Jayhawks.

“He probably puts as much hard work in as anybody in the Big 12,” said senior defensive tackle Patrick Dorsey.

“Power and speed. He has a combination of both. He might run you over, he might run past you.”

Free State High School

KU women got something positive going when she posted up and kicked the ball out to junior guard Angel Goodrich for a three-pointer that gave KU an early 5-2 lead.

Davis then got her first bucket of the night early in the shot clock by posting up in transition with her defender fronting. Goodrich lobbed a pass over the top, and Davis scored an easy layup, giving Kansas a 7-2 advantage.

Goodrich, who went for 12 points and five assists, said Davis was a welcome sight for Kansas (2-0) against Creighton (2-1).

“It just makes it where people are worried about her, and it just kind of opens up the outside,” Goodrich said.

Monica Engelman scored 12 points, and Keena Mays added nine off the bench in the backcourt on a night that was dominated not just by Davis’ return, but also by the play of senior forward Aishah Sutherland, who posted a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds.

Henrickson said she would like to see the 6-2 forward attack the basket more and get to the foul line, but she was pleased overall with Sutherland’s production.

“She got some tough rebounds,” Henrickson said.

“It’s easy when she’s all by herself, but in traffic she got fouled a couple times, and that’s who I think she can be and who we need for her to be.”

Sutherland wasn’t satisfied with her double-double night, describing it as “decent.”

“I feel like I should’ve

been hard for the team to get back to practice and have a positive attitude after a bad game.

“You have to move on right away because the next team you play is not going to pity that you just lost,” Jarmoc said.

Albers said she and her teammates know exactly what they need to do, what errors they need to correct.

“It’s just when it comes to game-time situations, we talk about needing to be less flustered. We need to be aggressive, and we need to be together as a team.

“It’s just a matter of getting it done.”

KANSAS FORWARD AISHAH SUTHERLAND (11) LIFTS A SHOT over Creighton defender Alexis Akin-Otiko, (44) in the Jayhawks’ nonconference game against the Bluejays on Wednesday at Allen Fieldhouse. knocked down more shots than I had,” she said after going 7-for-12 from the floor.

The senior added that her fellow forward, Davis, made things easier for her.

“She’s effective,” Sutherland said of her recovering teammate. “She might be a little slower since she got those (four) fouls tonight, but she’s very effective.”

Henrickson said Davis’ foot will be re-evaluated each day, but there have been good signs with calcium showing in the area of the stress fracture. She said temporarily shutting Davis down allowed that to happen, and the staff

Julian Wright played in ... we couldn’t play them,” Self said. “It’s not unusual this happened. Still yet, we could have been right there if we played smarter offensively.”

Posing: A Hawk Talk caller asked Self about KU junior Robinson posing for the ESPN cameras after a vicious slam dunk in the first half.

“Last night it bothered me.

Our whole game plan was, our bigs (after baskets or secured rebounds) had 3.0 seconds to cross the free-throw line extended on their end, because they run so well,” Self said.

“He posed for two seconds.

would continue to watch her progress closely.

“It’ll be day-to-day,” Henrickson said. “It’s about her pain and her honesty about her pain.”

So just how close is Davis to 100 percent?

“I’d say I’m about 82.3,” Davis said with a laugh, before adding she hopes that number will be closer to 100 by Sunday, when Kansas plays its first road game of the season at 1 p.m. at Wake Forest, in Winston-Salem, N.C. Creighton’s defense troubled KU, which turned the ball over 25 times, but the Bluejays didn’t shoot well

Tyshawn got his first foul because Thomas posed. He should have been in the exact spot where Tyshawn’s man drove him and picked up the foul. He got his second foul right after that when the first one shouldn’t have occurred.”

Self said, “that will be good teaching tape. Put it in perspective. It’s in the Garden.

You are walking around, and Spike Lee is talking to you here, other celebrities are there, all sitting in the front row. The place is jumping.

This is big-time atmosphere in the most historic building in the world, and our guys are so excited. Sometimes

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

LBSU upends No. 9 Pitt met him as he brought the ball up.

John Brandenburg led the Raiders (1-1) with 11 points.

The Associated Press

Long Beach State 86, No. 9 Pittsburgh 76 PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon knew it would take time for his young team to grow up.

He just didn’t expect the growing pains to be so, well, painful.

Long Beach State became just the second non-Big East team to win at the Petersen Events Center, stunning the Panthers on Wednesday night.

“We got beat every which way,” Dixon said.

Repeatedly.

Casper Ware scored a career-high 28 points, James Ennis added 19, and Larry Anderson had 12 points and seven assists for the 49ers (20), who emphatically ended Pitt’s 58-game nonconference home winning streak.

“All teams, they try to do a lot to stop us from running, but we were just too fast today,” Ware said. “We were clicking on offense and it was too fast (for them) to stop us.”

Ashton Gibbs led the Panthers (2-1) with 20 points, and Nasir Robinson added 19, but the Panthers simply couldn’t keep up with the 49ers. ‘‘They wanted it more than us,” Robinson said. “They worked harder. They ran harder. They got to loose balls. They executed better than us. They outsmarted us.”

Mostly, they outplayed the Panthers.

Long Beach State took a nine-point halftime lead and never let up.

Pitt drew within six points on a few occasions but each time the 49ers answered to become the first non-Big East team to beat the Panthers at home since Bucknell in 2005.

The victory was Long Beach State’s first over a top10 team since beating thenNo. 1 Kansas on Jan. 25, 1993, when most of the current 49ers were in diapers.

This was no fluke, however.

Long Beach State never trailed after taking the lead less than 8 minutes in.

Oklahoma State 90, Texas-San Antonio 85, OT STILLWATER, OKLA. — Cezar Guerrero hit eight threepointers and tied the Oklahoma State freshman scoring record with 29 points, rescuing the Cowboys from a late 11-point deficit to beat Texas-San Antonio in overtime Wednesday night in the NIT Season Tip-Off. Guerrero stole an inbounds pass and hit a tying threepointer with 8.8 seconds left in regulation, then nailed the go-ahead three-pointer in the final minute of overtime to earn the Cowboys (3-0) a trip to Madison Square Garden in New York next week for the tournament semifinals.

Oklahoma State will face Stanford on Wednesday. No. 5 Syracuse faces Virginia Tech in the other semifinal.

Michael Hale scored 26 points, and Kannon Burrage added 19 for UTSA (2-1), which squandered an 11-point lead in the final 21⁄2 minutes.

The Roadrunners blew an eight-point lead in the final four minutes a night earlier before beating Oral Roberts on Sei Paye’s running threepointer at the buzzer. This time, the dramatics turned around on them.

After Igor Nujic hit one of two free throws with 18.9 seconds left to give UTSA a 7771 lead, Guerrero converted a three-point play at the opposite end — tossing the ball in as he fell backward from the left block.

He hit the ensuing free throw and then picked up a deflected ball to hit the tying shot from the left wing.

Guerrero had consecutive three-pointers from the right wing after Oklahoma State

OKLAHOMA STATE QUARTERBACK BRANDON WEEDEN PASSES against Texas Tech in the first quarter of their game Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. Weeden, 28, says he’s tired of all the talk about his, uh, maturity.

Weeden wants focus on OSU, not his age STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — For Brandon Weeden, all the interest in his age is starting to get old.

The 28-year-old quarterback got a lot of Heisman Trophy chatter over the weekend when he threw for 423 yards and five touchdowns in Oklahoma State’s victory over Texas Tech while Stanford’s Andrew Luck and Boise State’s Kellen Moore both lost for the first time this season.

Weeden just wishes less of the attention was on how old he is. Weeden played five years of minor league baseball after high school, then started his college career at Oklahoma State. He said people have posted complaints on Twitter and he’s frequently peppered by questions about his age when someone new interviews him.

“On the ballot, there’s not an age requirement. It’s stupid. I’m so sick of hearing about it,” Weeden said. “It’s one of those things. People need to find some new material. It’s getting old real quick.”

Weeden’s second-ranked Cowboys (10-0, 7-0 Big 12) head into Friday night’s game at Iowa State as one of only three undefeated teams left in the country, along with No. 1 LSU and No. 11 Houston. He has piled up 3,635 yards and 31 touchdowns with nine interceptions at the helm of the nation’s second-highest scoring offense.

“There’s just so many other questions you can ask other than being 28 years old,” Weeden said. “Why can’t we talk about (All-American receiver) Justin Blackmon or the team winning games?

That’s way more important than me being 28 years old.”

Weeden’s age is certainly a factor, though.

Coach Mike Gundy has repeatedly said he considers Weeden’s maturity to be a positive for his team since he’s been through the ups and downs of the minor leagues and doesn’t get rattled easily.

He also lives a different life than most college athletes.

He is married and lives off campus, and he is financially stable, thanks to his baseball contract.

Weeden has also graduated and his course load is light. He’s taking golf as one of his classes.

None of that makes him ineligible to win the Heisman Trophy.

Florida State’s Chris Weinke set the precedent for an older player winning the Heisman when at age 28 in 2000. No one else has been older than 23 at the time they won the award.

“I think he’s got an advantage being 28. ... There was some people that thought he was too old to play, so now it’s kind of going the other way on him,” Gundy said.

“Until they rewrite the rule, I would say that everybody is fair game.”

According to research by STATS LLC, Weeden is one of at least 17 Bowl Subdivision players who are at least 25, though not all schools provide players’ birthdates in their media guides. Weeden even has a 26-year-old teammate in Tyler Johnson, a linebacker who also joined the Cowboys after a stint in the minor leagues.

There’s at least one player older than Weeden this season: Buffalo punter Peter Fardon, a 29-year-old senior from Australia.

“It’s legal. There’s been a ton of guys that have tried it,” Weeden said. “We’re just fortunate. We’re winning a lot of games, so there’s a little bit more of a spotlight. So, if there’s any 25-, 26- 27-yearold guys out there that want to come give it a shot, do it.

Quit complaining about it.

Come try it.”

Case Keenum, the sixthyear senior quarterback for undefeated Houston, is 23. He redshirted in 2006 and then got a medical hardship waiver after injuring his knee last season. He is now busily breaking NCAA passing records.

Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville, who watched Weeden carve up his defense to go up 49-0 at halftime, compared Weeden to an offensive coordinator and said “the young man was absolutely flawless.”

“We changed pretty much our whole defense going into that game,” Tuberville said.

“We were going to try to make him think in the pocket and have to come up to some answers to things that we were doing, and it didn’t take him long.”

After facing Weeden earlier this year in another blowout, Kansas offensive coordinator Chuck Long pointed out the proximity in age between Weeden and Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback of the Super Bowl champion and currently undefeated Green Bay Packers.

Weeden is about two months older than Rodgers and was also born before a handful of other NFL starting QBs. “I’ve heard it 500 times,” Weeden said. “We’re just 100, so we have a little bit more spotlight and people talk about it because we’re in the position we are. If we were 2-8, do you think people would talk about it? Probably not.”

Weeden has made the most of his strong arm, cool demeanor and thorough understanding of the Cowboys’ wide-open offense.

“I’m so comfortable with this offense and understand why we do certain things.

I’m comfortable just getting us in and out of bad plays. ...

I understand that side of it,” he said.

Tread with caution over baby-sitting deal Annie’s Mailbox

of the time, he is OK, but the tailgating, speeding and unsafe lane changes make me nauseated, and the kids have thrown up more times than I can count. — Not a NASCAR Fan Dear Not a Fan: We assume you have told your husband how frightened you are by his driving. Many men equate reckless driving with manliness, as if they have to prove something. Tell him anniesmailbox@comcast.net it’s fine when he is in the car alone, but you would apmonth for child care along preciate it if he would drive with breakfast, lunch and dinner? — Sad Grandma in Missouri Dear Grandma: This isn’t about fairness because you are certainly entitled to be paid for your services. But you have changed the dynamic between you and your daughter. You’ve turned baby-sitting the grandchildren into a business transaction.

Not only was your daughter caught off-guard, but she obviously resents it. If you need the money, talk to your daughter about what she thinks would be appropriate, and see if you can work this out. If you don’t need the money, we suggest you baby-sit when you are willing, without charge.

It would not be out of line to call tonight’s “special” episode of “20/20” (7 p.m., ABC) “Hello/Goodbye.” It’s a farewell tribute to Regis Philbin, who is leaving his morning chat show Friday. “Regis Philbin: The Morning Maestro With Katie Couric” is also a re-reintroduction to Katie Couric, the former “Today” regular and “CBS Evening News” anchor who will return to daytime talk with “Katie,” an ABC-owned syndicated series that debuts in September 2012.

While tonight’s “20/20” hails Philbin’s morning show, few television talents have worked so much in late night, prime time and the postbreakfast hour.

Philbin gained national recognition in the late 1960s as the sidekick to talk show host Joey Bishop, ABC’s answer to Johnny Carson. The host and Rat Pack member often made jokes at Philbin’s expense, and on at least one occasion Philbin fought back in an unscripted manner, giving Bishop’s low-rated show more attention than usual.

After years hosting local morning shows, Philbin was paired with Kathie Lee Gifford in the mid 1980s, and a morning institution was born. Gifford left in 2000, and Kelly Ripa joined Philbin in 2001. Over the course of so many mornings, Philbin has set the Guinness World Record for having spent the most hours before a television camera.

Some of those hours were spent in prime time on the American version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” a ratings blockbuster in 1999 that buoyed ABC’s fortunes and brought a spate of game shows to the evening hours.

In addition to his own shows, Philbin has been a regular on “Late Show With David Letterman” (10:35 p.m., CBS). And tonight is no exception. Expect Philbin to get under Letterman’s skin. John Fogerty also appears.

O A week before the big day, the folks from “Swamp People” gather for “Swampsgiving” (8 p.m., History), a celebration of wild turkey shooting, feral boar hunting and other Cajun delights, including squirrel, turtle, rabbit and something called gar, the largest freshwater fish in America. And what’s a little smoked gar without a frog leg chaser?

The new series “Big Shrimpin’” (9 p.m., History) follows.

Tonight’s other highlights O Another night of elimination on “The X Factor” (7 p.m., Fox).

O Dolphin advocates contend that the Navy’s sonar means death to the sea creatures in the 2010 drama “Beneath the Blue” (7 p.m., CW), starring Paul Wesley (”The Vampire Diaries”).

O The Cold War heats up on “Person of Interest” (8 p.m., CBS).

O Andy takes the staff on a field trip to Gettysburg on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC).

O The death of a toy magnate on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox).

O Amelia faces an intervention on a two-hour “Private Practice” (8 p.m., ABC).

O Michael helps the company on “Burn Notice” (8 p.m., USA).

Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., is 77. Rock musician Gerry McGee (The Ventures) is 74. Singer Gordon Lightfoot is 73.

Singer-songwriter Bob Gaudio is 70. Movie director Martin Scorsese is 69. Actress Lauren Hut-

You attract many people, and often the unexpected occurs. If you are single, a friend could become more, or you could meet someone through your associations.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, my daughter was newly married and pregnant. Neither she nor her husband had a job, so both sets of parents took them in at various times and helped when the baby was born.

My son-in-law went back to school and got a job, and they finally moved into a small house of their own.

When my daughter decided to go to nursing school, we were delighted. Again, both sets of parents pitched in and took care of the baby. I also fed her family every day so they wouldn’t have to spend money they didn’t have.

When she became pregnant again, we stepped back up to the plate and took care of their little newborn girl.

My daughter now is an RN and makes great money. Her husband does decently, and they have a lot to be thankful for. When my daughter asked me to continue baby-sitting, I agreed, but only if I was paid.

This really upset her, and she now won’t let me see the kids. Her sister-in-law looks after them for free but only for a few hours a day.

My daughter works nights and doesn’t get enough sleep in the daytime because she must attend to her children.

Am I being selfish for wanting to be paid $400 a
