‘We need to talk openly about suicide’

Communication seen as crucial key to prevention

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Editor’s Note: This is the second in a two-part series to raise awareness about suicide as part of Suicide Prevention Week, Sept. 9-15. Yesterday: Suicide bereavement.

E

very day, someone dies by suicide in Kansas. Every month, one or two people die by suicide in Douglas County.

Marcia Epstein, director of Headquarters Counseling Center in Lawrence, believes suicide prevention is everyone’s business.

“We all have the opportunity to say a kind word or smile at somebody, and it can make a difference in that person’s day. Those are the kinds of things that we are not going to know the impact necessarily, but that’s a starting point,” she said.

Headquarters has counselors who answer the state’s 24-hour National Suicide Prevention Lifeline,

Western Civ class may no longer be required ———

Desire for flexibility cited as reason to make longtime KU standard optional

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

As Kansas University shifts to a new set of general education requirements, KU leaders hope to give students more flexible options. And that will likely mean students can choose to avoid some hurdles their predecessors had to clear, including a course familiar to most KU undergraduates: Western Civilization.

The reading-heavy twosemester introductory courses are centered on exposing students to some of the great books in the Western canon and usually involve smaller discussion sections where students hash out some of the big ideas from the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans to the present day.

The two-semester sequence is required under existing rules to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts Nick Krug/Journal-World Photo degree from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Danny Anderson, KU’s dean of liberal arts and sciences, said a school committee is in the middle of revamping its own general education requirements to align with a THIS PAINTING, found universitywide effort. in 2005, is the original Though that process is architectural rendering of ongoing, he said, he is directing the committee to Liberty Memorial High provide as many flexible School.

Rediscovered painting offers slice of city history

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

At the heart of Liberty Memorial Central Middle School hangs a piece of history.

Just before the school year began, Principal Jeff Harkin hung a painting of the original architect’s rendering of the school build-

ing. Picking a place wasn’t easy; those walls around the auditorium carry generations of memories.

and it offers bereavement support for those who have lost a loved one to suicide. Epstein estimated the center gets between 10 and 15 calls a day related to suicide.

The center recently received a $480,000 federal grant to help reduce suicide attempts and deaths statewide. According to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, there were 385 suicides last year in Kansas, 408 in 2010, and 376 in 2009. In Douglas County, there were seven last year, 21 in 2010, and 12 in 2009.

“We need to be able to talk openly about suicide, and that means if we are the one who is struggling or if we are the one who notices someone who is struggling,” Epstein said.

The warning signs that someone may be suicidal include: #"threatening to hurt or kill oneself. #" looking for ways to kill oneself such as seeking access to pills, weapons or other means. #" talking or writing about death, dying or suicide. #" talking about hopelessness. #" showing rage, anger or seeking revenge. #" acting recklessly or engaging in risky activities such as drinking and driving. #" withdrawing from friends, family or society. #"#"#

Eunice Ruttinger, director of adult services at Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, said if you think someone is at risk for suicide, you should ask him or her matter-of-factly: Are you thinking about killing yourself? Are you having thoughts of suicide? Ruttinger said while some people may think talking about suicide can plant the idea in the person’s mind, it’s not true.

Ruttinger said it’s important to listen and tell that person you want to help them. “We can’t assume that it’s just talk and not action,” she said.

If they have a specific plan on how they are going to kill themselves and the means to do it, seek help immediately by taking them to a community mental health center or hospital emergency room; don’t leave them alone. If the person refuses to get help, you may need to call law enforcement. You also can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255.

Ruttinger said it’s common for someone to refuse treatment.

“One of the symptoms of depression is you don’t want to do anything. So you are so depressed, you don’t want to engage and you don’t necessarily think anything is going to happen and you feel really helpless,” she said.

If someone has been depressed and then suddenly seems to be doing really well or seems to have turned the corner, think again. That corner may be a commitment to death. #"#"#

Bert Nash staff members, including Ruttinger, teach people how to respond to suicidal thoughts and behavior in its Mental Health First Aid classes. It also provides counseling and treatment for those at risk.

How you can help someone Marcia Epstein, director of Headquarters Counseling Center in Lawrence, says you can make a difference when someone shows signs of feeling suicidal.

Here’s how: #"Listen and show you care. #"Ask the question, “Are you thinking about suicide?” #"For teens, find a trusted adult to help. #"For adults, find someone to be with the person and someone trained in suicide prevention to help. #"Eliminate access to firearms, large amounts of medications and other

potential dangers. #"Never keep a secret about suicide. #"Know that suicide is never someone else’s fault.

“They absolutely can get better, and that’s the key in talking to people who are having suicidal thoughts. That it is a symptom of a mental health diagnosis and they can get help and recover,” Ruttinger said.

The center performs about 100 screenings per month for suicide. Health Care Access, a clinic that serves uninsured Douglas County residents, sees at least one patient per day who is contemplating suicide or has attempted it.

Across the street, at Lawrence Memorial HosPrincipal Harkin is happy to add to the history displays, which include photos of each of the 19 men killed in action. He’s a former history teacher, and he feels the students understand the importance of their building as a memorial.

“We hope to fight and win in education,” he said.

“It’s nothing like World War I, but we hope the students are inspired.”

— Reporter Alex Garrison can be reached at 832-6314.

pital, the emergency room had 621 visits last year for suicide, suicidal ideation or self-inflicted injury. In 2010, it had 461 visits and in 2009, there were 655.

Epstein said sometimes there is a need for medical or mental health treatment, but a lot of times when people are thinking about suicide, those thoughts will change once they are reconnected with the people in their lives.

She encourages people to call Headquarters Counseling Center at 841-2345 so its trained volunteers and staff can make recommendations for help.

“We get calls every day,” Epstein said. “People say they are worried about my employee, cousin, friend, son, daughter, husband, and they let us know what they know and we help in terms of giving some recommendations and we always offer to talk to the person who they believe is at risk.”

Epstein said they are going to help that person move toward the help they need and they are going to use the least invasive methods possible.

“One of our core values is being honest with people. We are not going to do anything without telling you,” Epstein said.

“We’ve had people from other communities where the police were immediately dispatched and that can be humiliating and scary and often makes people not want to get help later.”

She said people are more likely to seek help when they’ve been included in the decisions. With someone who is at high risk of suicide, Epstein said, it’s not about doing something against their will, it’s about getting them into agreement to get the help they need. #"#"#

Besides knowing the warning signs and how to get a friend or family member help, there are other ways to promote suicide prevention, Epstein said.

One way is to advocate for people who can’t afford to get the physical and mental health care they need.

Also, if you see someone being mistreated, do something about it.

“The more we grow up feeling good about ourselves and confident and cared about, the less risk we are going to have getting to the point of life where we are going to feel like suicide,” she said.

HEALTH CARE ACCESS

Case numbers soaring at expanded clinic

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Two and a half years ago, Health Care Access moved from a mobile home in East Lawrence to a 6,000-square-foot building across the street from Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s emergency room at 330 Maine.

As a result, the clinic is taking care of more patients because of its increased visibility and ability to offer more services.

The clinic serves low-income Douglas County residents who do not have insurance.

“We want them to come to us before they have to go across the street and have a great big bill,” said Nikki White, executive director.

Last year, the clinic had 6,937 patient visits, up 116 percent from 2010. The clinic is on pace to have 10,795 visits this year.

Lawrence resident Christina Johnson, 42, has been using Health Care Access for about eight years. She said she has suffered a lot of illnesses, including a heart attack.

“I just think they are awesome. If it wasn’t for them, I probably would have died,” she said.

She recently made an appointment because she had numbness and tingling in her arms and she had lost vision in her left eye and a little bit her right eye. Dr. Paul Morte,

Google Fiber could widen digital divide in Kansas City area KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — She has no Internet at home, so Robinett Foreman sweats over lost computer time at school.

The 17-year-old is one of 11 students out of 18 without home access in her business technology class at Kansas City Public Schools’ Central Academy of Excellence.

Stress builds in class, she said, “when I’m on a project, trying to do research, and (the Internet) is running slow.”

Her high school, with its overwhelmed Internet connection, sits in a neighborhood lagging well behind the pre-registrations Google requires to light up its cutting-edge Web access.

“It’s not fair,” said Mona Price, Central’s dean of instruction. “It’s not fair to the kids in urban settings who are trying to get an education.”

But many neighborhoods — chiefly the least prosperous pockets of the metro area — remain far behind the pace needed to hit the Google-established thresholds of customer penetration. braries and poorest neighborhoods given first shot at drawing Google’s ultrafast Internet service look in danger of missing out on Kansas City’s digital revolution.

Despite an offer by the tech giant’s Google Fiber operation to virtually give away some Internet service to customers, the areas most lacking in online connections also appear the most likely to be left behind in Kansas City’s leap ahead on a lightspeed network.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

Wichita scrambling to recruit high-demand teachers WICHITA (AP) — The Wichita school district has hired a recruiter to scour job fairs and college campuses across the nation to find teachers for

hard-to-fill vacancies.

The district also has launched a Facebook page, and school officials are visiting local high schools and community colleges

to encourage more students to consider teaching as a career.

Much of the district’s efforts are targeted at recruiting special-education

teachers. But it also needs other high-demand teaching areas, including math, science, English as a second language and consumer sciences.

Digital

Google, after all, is using its ongoing “rally” — a now-or-never period when residents of much of Kansas City, Kan., and a large part of Kansas City, Mo., must put down their small deposits suggesting they want service — to identify the greatest demand.

Other Internet service and TV subscription companies — in this market, chiefly Time Warner Cable and AT&T — entered the business under different regulations. Time Warner Cable was granted franchises, no longer in force, that demanded it offer service to virtually every home. The company still gives free Internet and television service to more than 350 libraries, schools and other public buildings in the two cities.

AT&T’s U-verse service, although not as ubiquitous, still reaches 400,000 homes in the market.

County and Kansas City.

The cities picked the buildings.

Google then drew “fiberhood” boundaries.

Next, it set the percentage of pre-registering households needed to qualify a neighborhood for service.

Depending on the neighborhood, the pre-registration goals range from one in 20 homes to one in four.

Wandres, the Google spokeswoman, said the company has 60 people in Kansas City now trying to sign up enough residents to get more neighborhoods to qualify for its service.

Still, many are in jeopardy of missing out.

In downtown Kansas City, Kan., 11 places were slated for free service: Children’s Campus of Kansas City, the city health department, police headquarters, Memorial Hall, the main library, City Hall, the court services building, the Board of Public Utilities, the Kansas State School for the Blind, the county courthouse and the Jack Reardon Convention Center.

Google has said 10 percent of the downtown district must pre-register before anyone there gets service. That means 89 homes. By Friday afternoon, just 13 were preregistered in the first four weeks, with a little over two weeks to go.

Kan., the map looks more quilt-like. Places where incomes are lower seem to have little chance of getting Google’s Internet service.

“I’m concerned that the digital divide” — the gap between electronic haves and have-nots — “will be exacerbated by the fact that you’ll have extremely fast Internet in some neighborhoods while people in neighborhoods with fewer resources will be left even further behind,” said Christopher Barnickel, an assistant director at the Kansas City, Kan., Public Library.

The city’s school district is worried that many of its buildings will be left without the fiber optic connections that will blossom in areas that are better off.

“We worked hard to close the technology divide between our kids and more-resourced communities,” said school district spokesman David Smith.

All students in the district high schools, for instance, are issued laptops.

“It is unimaginable to us to have that divide reopen,” Smith said.

Some say the bridge over the digital divide now seems like a mirage.

“It does not have the feel of the universal access that was part of the initial description,” said Karen Hostetler, a resident of the East Argentine section of Kansas City, Kan.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

Google insists it’s too early to write off any of what it calls “fiberhoods.”

It has begun to fix problems that have complicated apartment dwellers’ efforts to sign up for its service. And, most critically, the company points out that it has every incentive to round up as many customers as possible — and to expand to more neighborhoods rather than fewer.

Money concerns Yet the Google Fiber rollout is driven by very real logistic and economic factors that make it impractical to offer the service where few people show an interest in buying service, even if that means a neighborhood school won’t get wired to tomorrow’s Internet.

Meanwhile, community efforts strive to help Google find would-be customers. Some are even paying the $10 fee needed to cast a vote of interest in the service.

That in turn creates a problem for Google.

Are people who didn’t pay their own registration fee likely to buy the company’s state-of-theart Internet and TV service for $120 a month for two years? Would they purchase super-fast Internet-only packages for $70 a month for a year? Or pay $25 a month for one year for installation of a 5-megabits-per-second Internet connection that would carry no other cost for seven years?

“We’re thrilled that some local organizations want to encourage widespread Internet access by helping with the Google Fiber pre-registration process,” Google spokeswoman Jenna Wandres said.

“That being said, people should only pre-register if they intend to get Google Fiber service.”

Demand driven Google has strong incentives to be prudent in its rollout. Each city block brings a significant gamble for Google. Some industry analysts estimate that the cost of installing a connection to a single home averages $2,500.

Google is mostly waiving that cost to customers, and it will have to absorb the expense.

That drives Google to neighborhoods where the demand is most widespread. The company’s strategy, meanwhile, has stirred grumbling in areas where hitting Google’s goals looks most remote.

“Everybody thought all the schools and libraries were going to get this for free,” said the Rev. Rick Behrens of Grandview Park Presbyterian Church.

“A lot of people are upset that that’s not going to be the case. It’s disappointing.”

In its agreement with the two city councils, Google said it would give free service to up to 430 locations in Wyandotte

Rich vs. poor In the meantime, some neighborhoods cleared the hurdles set for them in a matter of days. Even a cursory glance at the map showing which neighborhoods are likely to get Google Fiber — more than 80 have met Google’s requirements — shows a strong correlation between rich and poor Kansas City.

West of Troost Avenue, the map is mostly green, indicating neighborhoods with plenty of eager customers. East of Troost, pre-registrations largely are low. In Kansas City,

she had delayed seeking treatment.

“Multiple sclerosis is not the terrible disease that it was at one time,” Morte said. “My guess is that it’s about half as bad as it used to be with medications, and they should be started early.”

Johnson’s grateful to be able to access a neurologist’s services and the medications that she needs for free.

Besides medical care, Health Care Access has added legal services, counseling for mental health issues, wellness activities, and referrals to other free or low-cost services in town. It’s added so many services that it recently started leasing space in the Medical Arts Building next door for the clinic’s administrators and interns.

White said the clinic’s goal is to provide a medical home that serves all of its patients’ needs.

In February, the clinic hired Ann Lopez, a licensed social worker, to oversee its counseling services and to serve as a patient navigator. That means if patients need more than medical help, she visits with them and refers them to the appropriate resources whether it’s for suicide prevention, substance abuse, domestic violence, stress management or assistance with food, utilities or rent. Then, she checks to make sure they followed through with getting assistance.

“She handles things from ‘I am not handling my teenager well’ to ‘I want to kill myself’ to ‘I tried to kill myself this morning and I didn’t succeed.’ She comes in on those and has just been amazing,” said Kim Johnson, assistant director.

Lopez said she sees a patient who is in crisis at least once a day, if not five.

“I do think that it’s really, really tough for our patients and, by and large, there’s a lot of shame.

People don’t want to seek medical services because of the fact that they’ve let this or that get out of control. I also think that people are scared about what they are going to find out,” Lopez said.

She said while most people can take an ibuprofen for a headache and not think twice about it, patients at Health Care Access often don’t have money for a bus ride to the clinic, let alone an extra $5 for an over-the-counter pain reliever, and so they go without. She said some diabetic patients don’t have electricity or a refrigerator to keep their insulin in, and so they don’t take it.

“These patients are fac-

ing hardship. It’s really, really tough,” she reiterated.

To qualify for services at Health Care Access, a patient’s gross income must be at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level. That’s $20,146 for an individual or $41,347 for a family of four.

“We have a good staff here and that, I believe, makes the patients feel at home, which is a big deal,” Lopez said.

That familiarity is what the staff believes helps patients push past the stigma of mental health disorders and seek help. Last year, the clinic provided 315 counseling appointments, up 178 percent from 2010.

This year, it’s on pace to provide 980 appointments.

“It’s wonderful that we can now address that and relieve the nurse’s schedule,” White said. She said appointments can be twice as long when nurses have to take care of other needs besides medical.

There’s also been a huge push for patients to be proactive about their health and seek preventive services, such as an annual exam and blood glucose screenings, rather than waiting until there’s a crisis. Additionally, Health Care Access offers wellness activities such as walking programs, cooking classes and trips to the grocery store to point out low-cost, nutritious foods.

“We just want everyone to be healthier and happier,” Johnson said.

Convention eve: Obama consoles hurricane victims PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA talks with Sheriff Mike Tregre as they tour the Bridgewood neighborhood of LaPlace, La., in the Saint John the Baptist Parish, with other local officials to survey the ongoing response and recovery efforts to Hurricane Isaac on Monday.

By Ben Feller and David Espo Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — President Barack Obama consoled victims of Hurricane Isaac along the Gulf Coast on Monday and stoked the enthusiasm of union voters in the industrial heartland, blending a hard political sell with a softer show of sympathy on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.

At times like these, “nobody’s a Democrat or a Republican, we’re all just Americans looking out for one another,” the president said after inspecting damage inflicted by the storm and hugging some of its victims. He was flanked by local and state officials of both parties as he spoke.

There was nothing nonpartisan about his earlier appearance in Toledo, Ohio. There, the president said Republican challenger Mitt Romney should be penalized for “unnecessary roughness” on the middle class and accused him in a ringing Labor Day speech of backing higher taxes for millions after opposing the 2009 auto industry bailout.

Obama’s trip to LaPlace, La., was a televised interlude in the rough and tumble of the political campaign, four days after Romney accepted his party’s presidential nomination at the GOP Convention in Tampa, Fla., and three days before the president is nominated by

Democratic delegates in Charlotte.

Unlike Obama, Romney made no mention of federal aid in his own trip to Louisiana last Friday showing concern and support.

First lady Michelle Obama was already in the Democratic convention city as her husband spent his day blending the work of president and candidate.

He doesn’t arrive in North Carolina until later in the week, after concluding a slow circuit of campaign stops in battleground states and the trip to Louisiana.

In LaPlace, Obama went from yard to yard, shaking

hands, embracing residents, sometimes posing for photos they snapped.

“I know it’s a mess,” he said of the damage, “but we’re here to help.”

He said he had promised local residents “we’re going to make sure at the federal level, we are getting on the case very quickly about figuring out what exactly happened here, what can we do to make sure that it doesn’t happen again and expediting some of the decisions that may need to be made to ensure that we have the infrastructure in place to protect people’s property and to protect people’s lives.”

For political conventions, TV viewing down, social media up CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — When it comes to following political conventions, Twitter may soon trump television.

TV viewership for last week’s Republican National Convention dropped sharply from 2008, suggesting interest in this presidential race falls short of some past contests. But the convention was a hit online and on social networks, the latest evidence of the political conversation’s gradual migration from traditional media to the Web. The Nielsen Co. estimates that about 30.3 million viewers across 11 television networks watched convention coverage Thursday night when Mitt Romney delivered his prime-time speech accepting the GOP presidential nomination. That’s a 23 percent plunge from the same night four years ago when nearly 39 million

people tuned in to watch then-GOP nominee John McCain address the convention and the nation.

The erosion of TV viewership from 2008 was sharper still on Wednesday night when Romney running mate Paul Ryan drew about 22 million viewers for his acceptance speech.

That’s a 41 percent drop from 2008 when some 37 million tuned in for vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin’s debut on the national stage.

The Republican convention drew an older audience on TV. Of the 22 million who watched Ann Romney speak on Tuesday night, Nielsen found that nearly 15 million were 55 or older. Only 1.5 million were age 18-34.

The 2008 election was an outlier from an otherwise consistent decline in viewership for political conventions over the past 20 years.

Crews make progress on Neb., S.D. fires OMAHA, NEB. — Some firefighters who have battled the western Nebraska and South Dakota wildfires for nearly a week are being sent home, a fire official said Monday.

The three fires have burned nearly 260 square miles, but firefighters have made considerable progress on the Douthit and West Ash fires near Chadron, Neb., said information spokesman Neal Kephart.

“We’re getting a good handle on those fires and releasing personnel and equipment,” Kephart said.

The Douthit fire was 99 percent contained, and the West Ash fire is 55 percent contained.

He estimated as many as 700 people, including firefighters, managers and support personnel, were working those fires. He expects the number could drop to 400 by Monday night.

Kephart said that at least five homes and a number of other structures have been destroyed by the two fires but that officials will have a better idea of the damage once assessment teams surveyed the area.

Ryan says Jimmy Carter era TO GO PIZZAS was better than Obama’s $500 SEPTEMBER 6TH

LARGE 1-TOPPING

By Steve Peoples

Associated Press

GREENVILLE, N.C. — Paul Ryan delivered a scathing criticism of President B a r a c k Obama’s stewardship of the nation’s economy Monday, arguing that even Ryan conservative punching bag Jimmy Carter’s presidency was better as Democrats streamed to North Carolina to nominate Obama for a second term.

“The president can say a lot of things, and he will,” the Republican vice presidential candidate told more than 2,000 supporters in East Carolina University’s student recreation center, about 230 miles east of the Democratic National Convention site in Charlotte. “But he can’t tell you that you’re

better off. Simply put, the Jimmy Carter years look like the good old days compared to where we are right now.”

The message, comparing today’s economic problems with the troubled economic conditions of the Carter administration, is part of a broader GOP strategy to ask voters whether they are better off now than they were four years ago. Polling suggests the criticism may resonate with voters who continue to like Obama personally but are frustrated with the pace of economic recovery two months before Election Day. Democrats argued that conditions have improved since Obama took office, with both the president and Vice President Joe Biden focusing Monday on the administration’s 2009 rescue of U.S. automakers, which GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney opposed at the time.

Man arrested in deadly attack on sleeping kids TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A man high on PCP-laced marijuana stabbed two neighborhood children in their home while they slept, killing a 6-year-old boy and critically wounding his 12-year-old sister, authorities said.

Osvaldo Rivera was found hiding between a mattress and a bedroom wall Sunday afternoon inside a Camden apartment and was charged Monday with murder and attempted murder, said Jason Laughlin, a spokesman for the Camden County prosecutor’s office.

The attack was the second recent one in Camden, an impoverished city across the river from Philadelphia, involving a child and a suspect said to be high on PCP and marijuana.

Rivera, 31, was being held in jail awaiting arraignment, which Laughlin said will likely be held today. Laughlin didn’t know if Rivera had an attorney.

Police found blood-

stained sneakers inside the apartment where Rivera was arrested that matched bloody footprints in the home where Dominick Andujor was stabbed to death, Laughlin said. The boy’s 12-year-old sister had her throat slit while she slept in the same room. She remained hospitalized Monday at Cooper University Hospital in Camden. The hospital, though, has declined to discuss her condition, citing privacy reasons.

While being questioned by investigators, Rivera said he had smoked a combination of marijuana and the hallucinogenic drug PCP before the attack, Laughlin said.

Laughlin said there have been several other murders in recent years in which PCP-laced marijuana has apparently played a role. He said the drug combination makes people incoherent, hallucinatory and, in some cases, violent, adding that authorities plan to take steps to curb the drug’s market.

Obama was running away from a poor economic record.

“He’s run out of ideas,” said Ryan. “So that is why he’s running a campaign based on envy and division, based on frustration and anger. Hope and change has now become attack and blame.”

Before leaving Greenville, Ryan told an overflow crowd of about 700, “After another four years of this, who knows what it’ll look like then. We’re not going to let that happen.”

Labor Day In Chicago, lifeline schools brace for teachers strike marked by parades, politics It would be the first bigcity strike in the U.S. since Detroit teachers walked off the job for 16 days in 2006. The last Chicago teachers strike was in 1987 and lasted 19 days.

TOLEDO, OHIO — Parades, picnics and politicians celebrated the American worker on Labor Day, with President Barack Obama seeking votes from Ohio union members and rivals for Senate seats marching in Massachusetts and Virginia.

But for many, Monday’s holiday was a last chance to enjoy a final summer cookout, roller coaster ride or day at the beach. Or perhaps even a stroll from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to its Lower Peninsula — along the longest suspension bridge in the Western Hemisphere.

Politics was a big part of Labor Day, the time when much of the public usually starts to pay attention to the campaigns.

Terence Glaze, a 47-year-old firefighter, waited to catch a glimpse of Obama’s motorcade at the president’s speech in Toledo, but his two young sons were eager to get to the movies instead.

“It’s a time for the family to be together and just spend time with one another.

That’s the most important aspect,” Glaze said.

“But I do also think about the Obama sacrifices unions h a v e made, as it relates to wages, as it relates to safety issues,” he added.

Romney At his speech to members of the United Auto Workers and United Steelworkers, Obama noted his decision to rescue automakers General Motors and Chrysler in 2009 — a move opposed by his rival, Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

“If America had thrown in the towel like that, GM and Chrysler wouldn’t exist today,” Obama said.

“The suppliers and the distributors that get their business from these companies would have died off, too. Then even Ford could have gone down as well.”

Romney supporter Kenneth Harbin, a member of the University of Toledo College Republicans, waved signs for his candidate outside the rally and scoffed at Obama’s decision to visit the labor stronghold.

“He’s gotta come home and say, ‘Here’s what I did for you. Now here’s what you can do for me,’” Harbin said.

Getting union voters in Ohio to turn out in November will be crucial for Democrats. About 650,000 workers in the state — or 13 percent — are union members. The national average is just less than 12 percent.

CHICAGO — Elfega Cazares isn’t taking sides in the standoff between the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago Public Schools over contract talks. Like many of the immigrant parents in the city’s Pilsen neighborhood, she knows her children stand to lose the most if teachers walk off the job next Monday.

“It is very important that we stay in school so we can be prepared to be someone in life,” Cazares said, her 10-year-old son Francisco Vasquez translating for her from Spanish.

But students across the city, most of whom return to school today, could find themselves out of the classroom again Sept. 10.

At a time when teachers’ unions are under pressure nationwide, union President Karen Lewis said more than 26,000 teachers and support staff in the nation’s third-largest school district are prepared to strike for the first time in 25 years. It would be the

KAREN LEWIS, PRESIDENT OF THE CHICAGO TEACHERS UNION, holds a press conference in Chicago to discuss the next course of action in contract talks with the Chicago Public Schools on Wednesday. The union issued a 10-day strike notice Wednesday, saying teachers in the nation’s thirdlargest school district are ready to walk off the job for the first time in 25 years. first big-city strike in the U.S. since Detroit teachers walked off the job for 16 days in 2006. The last Chicago teachers strike was in 1987 and lasted 19 days.

School officials and parents shifted into high gear after the union issued a 10day strike notice last week, trying to decide what to do with 400,000 students, in-

cluding those in neighborhoods beset by gangs and struggling with a spike in shootings and homicides.

District officials said they would chaperone students during the morning in 145 schools, and invited bids from community organizations to provide “positive activities” the rest of the day.

The pending walkout

presents other problems, too. College applications would be delayed. Varsity sports, from football to diving, would be suspended for 11,000 athletes. More than 20,000 juniors could miss practice tests for ACT exams.

Near Manuel Perez Jr. Elementary School in Pilsen, an enclave of Mexican immigrants where the public school plays a central role for almost everyone, the concerns were of a long-term nature.

Working-class parents like Cazares say they would have to find a family member or someone to watch their children while they work, but their bigger fear is children will lose ground

on attaining the better life the parents uprooted and crossed borders to pursue.

Local activist Fernando Rayas points to children like Vasquez, who must help their immigrant parents communicate.

Students learn English at school, he said, not at home. Depriving them of the opportunity, he said, means “they will fall behind.”

Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who lengthened the school day this year and says he wants to better hold teachers accountable for student performance, has a lot riding on the negotiations. So do teachers, who are upset Emanuel canceled a previously negotiated 4 percent raise and fear the district wants merit-only raises tied solely to student achievement.

The two sides appeared to have settled a primary issue when they agreed laid-off teachers would be rehired to cover the longer school day instead of paying existing teachers more, but bargaining and posturing over several remaining issues has continued.

PAKISTAN

2 Americans injured in suicide bombing

By Riaz Khan and Sebastian Abbot Associated Press

PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN — A suicide car bomber rammed into a U.S. government vehicle in the northwestern city of Peshawar on Monday, killing two Pakistanis and wounding more than a dozen — including two Americans — in one of the worst attacks against the U.S. in Pakistan in recent years, officials said.

The bombing was a vivid reminder of the danger of operating in Pakistan, especially in the northwest where Taliban and al-Qaida militants are strongest. The U.S. has persisted because its work in Pakistan is seen as key to countering militants who threaten American interests in neighboring Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Insurgents have carried out scores of bombings in Peshawar in recent years, but attacks against American targets have been relatively rare because of extensive security measures

by the U.S. government — ones that diplomats sometimes complain limit their effectiveness and ability to move around.

The U.S. said it would review its security procedures following Monday’s attack, which was condemned by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“We pray for the safe recovery of both American and Pakistani victims, and once again we deplore the cowardly act of suicide bombing and terrorism that has affected so many around the world,” Clinton said during a visit to Indonesia.

The armored SUV from the U.S. Consulate in Peshawar was attacked as it traveled through a heavily guarded area of the city that hosts various international organizations, including the United Nations. It was unclear how the bomber penetrated the area and knew which vehicle to attack.

The car driven by the bomber was packed with 240 pounds of explosives, police said.

Firefighters expect long fight against California blaze GLENDORA, CALIF. (AP) — A wildfire northeast of Los Angeles spoiled the Labor Day plans of thousands of visitors to the Angeles National Forest as firefighters bore down Monday for what figured to be a long fight against the big blaze.

A day after the wildfire broke out near a campground and forced the evacuation of thousands of campers and picnickers it had grown to more than 4,100 acres, or roughly 6 square miles, and was just five percent contained.

Officials set up an incident management team early Monday morning to map out a long-term strategy to battle the blaze, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Angie Lavell said.

Only light winds were blowing in the area, and the flames continue to burn deeper into a wilderness area away from any structures.

Campgrounds that typically attract up to 12,000 visitors on the holiday weekend, as well as rehabilitation centers and the private community of Camp Williams Resort, were evacuated on Sunday.

A FEMALE INMATE FIRE CREW HIKES UP to the fire line as they continue working on the Williams Fire that has scorched more than 4,000 acres near Glendora, Calif., on Monday. up an evacuation center at Glendora High School.

The forest is heavily used by Southern California residents because it is close to populated areas.

Officials said campgrounds, while not in the line of the fire, had to be emptied so that the only road in and out of the San Gabriel Canyon could be open just for fire trucks and emergency vehicles.

About 300 firefighters were aided by six waterdropping helicopters, an air tanker and 25 engines.

Fire officials activated the

use of a DC-10 capable of dropping thousands of gallons of retardant.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Firefighters quickly contained another wildfire shortly after it broke out Sunday in Ventura County in the Los Padres National Forest.

In Northern California, firefighters spent Monday focusing on the rugged and remote northern edge of a weeks-old fire in Mendocino County. Full containment is expected

by Sept. 10.

Syria: No dialogue with rebels planned BEIRUT — The Syrian regime said Monday there will be no dialogue with the opposition before the army crushes the rebels, the latest sign that President Bashar Assad is determined to solve the crisis on the battlefield even if many more of his people have to pay with their lives.

Assad The statement comes a day after activists reported that August was the bloodiest month since the uprising began in March 2011.

“There will be no dialogue with the opposition prior to the Syrian army’s imposition of security and stability in all parts of the country,” Information Minister Omran al-Zoebi told reporters at a news conference in Damascus.

The opposition has long rejected any talks with the regime until Assad is removed from power.

Muhieddine Lathkani, an opposition figure based in Britain, responded to the minister’s comments by saying “the key to any dialogue will be the departure of Assad and dismantling of the regime’s security agencies that committed all these crimes.”

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable ! Markets started yet another potentially crucial week on a solid note as investors betted on more central bank action and that China would enact more stimulus measures following a dispiriting manufacturing survey.

However, with Wall Street out of action because of the Labor Day holiday, the August trading lull continued into the first trading day of the new month.

Monday’s trading was dominated by a survey suggesting that China’s manufacturing sector was contracting.

Though that is a bad sign for the global economy, investors think it makes it more likely that the country’s monetary authorities will ease monetary policy soon.

Oil, gas production ramping up in aftermath of Hurricane Isaac

By Jonathan Fahey Associated Press

The nation’s oil and gas hub along the Gulf Coast is slowly coming back to life in the aftermath of Hurricane Isaac.

Offshore oil platforms are beginning to ramp up production as crews are returning. Refineries are beginning to restart units as power is restored and floodwaters are cleared out.

While a substantial amount of oil and gas production remains off line, production is coming back as expected. No major damage to oil platforms or refineries have been !

At the height of the storm, 1.3 million barrels per day of oil production was suspended. The U.S. consumes an average of 19 million barrels of petroleum every day.

Companies have been quickly returning workers to platforms. About 12 percent of the region’s platforms were still without staff. Nearly all of the Gulf’s offshore platforms and rigs were evacuated last week.

Nine refineries in the path of Isaac are restarting or operating at reduced rates, according to the

Energy Department. One refinery has returned to full operation and one, the Belle Chasse, La., refinery operated by Phillips 66, is still shut down because it is still without power.

The company said Sunday most of the floodwater had been cleared from the refinery and most refinery personnel had returned to work to prepare the plant for restart when power was restored. On Monday, the company said there was no update to the refinery’s status.

The national average price of gasoline rose 11 cents last week as Isaac threatened the Gulf Coast and then swept ashore with high winds and flooding rains. But by Friday, the price had leveled off to just under $3.83 per gallon. Monday, the average price declined — barely — by 0.2 cents, to $3.827 per gallon, according to the Oil Price Information Service, AAA and Wright Express.

JOHANNESBURG — South African police and security guards fired rubber bullets and tear gas Monday at sacked gold miners who were attacking colleagues to block them from working, the mine owner said.

Police said four people were wounded at the mine that used to be partially owned by the president’s nephew.

The clash at the Gold Fields mine east of Johannesburg, reported by police and Neal Froneman, the CEO of Gold One International, was the latest violence to hit South Africa’s mines in months of unrest.

Company spokesman Sven Lunsche said some 12,000 of the company’s workers “continue to engage in an unlawful and unprotected strike” that began Wednesday. He said it involved an internal dispute between local union leaders and members of the National Union of Mineworkers, the country’s largest union.

After apartheid ended in 1994, South Africa pressed to share the country’s vast mineral wealth with its impoverished black majority.

But the hoped-for result has not occurred. A small black elite has become billionaires off mining while most South Africans continue to struggle against mounting unemployment, deeper poverty and a widening gap between rich and poor

that makes the country one of the most unequal on Earth.

The mine where the violence took place Monday has previous business ties to relatives of Nelson Mandela and President Jacob Zuma — Malema and was the site where firebrand politician Julius Malema, an avowed enemy of Zuma, pledged last week to make the nation’s mines ungovernable.

South Africa’s mining unrest reached a bloody climax on Aug. 16 when police shot 112 striking workers, killing 34 of them, at a platinum mine at Marikana, northwest of Johannesburg. The state violence was reminiscent of apartheid days and has seriously damaged the government’s image.

Outrage at the police killings was exacerbated by prosecutors, who last week charged some 270 miners arrested at the scene with the murders and attempted murders of their striking co-workers — people who were killed by police. The National Prosecuting Authority was forced to retract Sunday, withdrawing the charges made under an apartheid-era law.

On Monday, 91 arrested miners were released, much to the joy of their ululating and singing family members and supporters. But there were tears for the many more who remained in custody.

A ROMANIAN BRIDE POSES FOR PICTURES at the Arch of Triumph in Bucharest, Romania, after being “kidnapped” on her wedding night Aug. 26. It’s one of Romania’s more colorful customs: bride-napping. And the tradition of snatching the bride from under the nose of groom and guests is an increasingly common sight in the Romanian capital.

Bride-stealing lastest craze in Bucharest BUCHAREST, ROMANIA (AP) — A white limousine screeches to a halt and a bride, resplendent in frothy gown and veil, is hauled outside by her abductors.

It’s one of Romania’s more colorful customs: bride-napping. And the tradition of snatching the bride from under the nose of groom and guests with the wedding party in full swing is getting bigger, brasher and an increasingly common sight in the Romanian capital, the Balkans’ undisputed party town.

Every Saturday night, brides from Bucharest and beyond are dragged away in a mock abduction by friends and driven to a top tourist spot where they are “held hostage” — all the while pouting, dancing and striking provocative poses for the cameras.

The ransom: a few bottles of whisky or perhaps something more romantic, like a public declaration of love from the abandoned groom. The kidnappers negotiate by phone, working out the details of the payoff. It’s all harmless theatrics meant to add a whiff of risque fun to the nuptials.

Mock abductions of brides are part of marriage ceremonies across the former Soviet Union. In some

countries, guests lock up a bride or have her hide in a backroom during celebrations, demanding that the bridegroom delivers a “ransom” — like singing a song, dancing or sometimes paying real money.

In Romania, the custom took off a few years ago when a top football player rented Bucharest’s Arch of Triumph, a major monument modeled after its iconic namesake in Paris, and proposed there to his girlfriend. There was no kidnapping involved, but the scene stuck in the popular imagination as a symbol of marriage — and soon the monument became a sort of midnight mecca for bride-napping.

This past Saturday, about 20 brides were held hostage at the Arch of Triumph, which was built in 1922 to honor Romanian soldiers who died during World War I and to celebrate the reunification of Transylvania with the rest of Romania.

Authorities turn a blind eye to the partying under the monument, technically illegal because it’s a historic landmark. The outdoor party is one way for Romanians, frustrated with austerity measures and feuding politicians, to let off steam.

Duncan died Monday morning at CedarsDuncan Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for a heart attack, said his fiancée, reality TV personality Rev. Omarosa Manigault, in a statement released by publicist Joy Fehily.

The muscular, 6-foot-4 Duncan, a former bodyguard who turned to acting in his 30s, “suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered,” the statement said. “Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time.

‘Gotcha’ game Political campaigns should rise above half-truths and statements taken out of context.

E

lection campaigns really should be more than a game of verbal “gotcha.”

It seems that far too often these days, candidates — and often the news media — focus too much attention on a single statement by an opponent that may or may not be taken out of context or properly reflect the candidate’s true opinion or record on a given issue.

President Obama’s campaign latches onto Mitt Romney’s statement that he likes to fire people. The Romney campaign pulls out Obama’s statement about “you didn’t build that.” There was a similar example closer to home last week when Tobias Schlingensiepen, a Democrat running in the state’s 2nd Congressional District, focused on a statement Rep. Lynn Jenkins, a Republican, made at a public meeting in southeast Kansas about “people who are happy to collect unemployment and not work.”

Granted, in this day and age, candidates have to know that any statement they make can be online and public in seconds. They have to be careful about what they say. In Jenkins’ case, she probably wishes she could rephrase the way she responded to a comment at a public meeting in Columbus. In the situations cited with Romney and Obama, they probably simply wish their statements could be considered in the broader context in which they were made.

Creating jobs, supporting business and addressing problems with “people working the system” on unemployment are all legitimate campaign issues that deserve the attention of both candidates and voters. Rather than pouncing on an opponent’s partial sound bite or misstatement, however, why not look at his or her record or a broader spectrum of comments on a given topic?

Playing “gotcha” with candidate statements can be part of a broader tactic of candidates twisting information or promoting outright falsehoods about their opponents. This tactic may work, but it is a disservice to voters.

The current polarization of the American electorate makes voters an easy target for those who want to stir up emotions rather than deal with hard facts and issues. Both voters and candidates need to fight this trend as they head toward the important November elections.

Former leader details U.N. failures WASHINGTON — There is no “big idea” easier to pay homage to in principle, or harder to make work in practice, than the peacekeeping role of the United Nations. This is painfully clear in a new memoir by Kofi Annan, its former secretary-general.

The latest failure of the U.N. dream was Annan’s mediating mission to Syria. For months, he tried to cajole President Bashar al-Assad into stopping the killing and starting a political transition that would avert civil war. To which he received the standard answer to well-meaning U.N. missions: Go away. You are powerless to stop me.

Annan finally did walk away last month, ending his Syria mission and probably his career as a mediator. What will come next, it’s increasingly clear, is a paramilitary covert action, supported by the U.S. and most of its allies, to help the Syrian rebels accomplish what the U.N. could not.

Annan’s new memoir, “Interventions,” is a study in the failure of a noble idea. And it should cause readers to reflect why, in so many cases, the international community has been unable to gather sufficient force (or will) to prevent conflict. Another failure is probably ahead with Iran, where six years of escalating U.N. sanctions have not curbed Tehran’s nuclear program, and unilateral military intervention is increasingly likely.

I’ve long been a supporter of multilateral action through the U.N., and I still think the

“

Annan’s new memoir, ‘Interventions,’ is a study in the failure of a noble idea. And it should cause readers to reflect why, in so many cases, the international community has been unable to gather sufficient force (or will) to prevent conflict.”

United States is most powerful when it operates under the legitimacy of international organizations. But the U.N. today is bootless; the will of most members for a change of government in Syria, for example, is too easily blocked by the veto of a single permanent Security Council member, such as Russia.

Annan gives a devastating account of some of the U.N.’s errors during his decades with the organization, especially in his description of the peacekeeping missions in the 1990s in Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia, which he collectively describes as the organization’s “greatest of failures.”

Somalia was a project of

Annan’s predecessor, Boutros Boutros-Ghali. A U.N. peacekeeping force known as UNOSOM II had been authorized in March 1993, described by Madeleine Albright, then U.N. ambassador, as “an unprecedented enterprise aimed at nothing less than the restoration of an entire country.” But the American military contribution was restricted to a small special operations force hunting the rebel Gen. Mohamed Aidid; it communicated with Boutros-Ghali and didn’t coordinate with the rest of the U.N. force. When the Americans got slaughtered in a bloody ambush in Mogadishu (depicted unforgettably in the film “Black Hawk Down”), Washington bailed out and UNOSOM II quickly collapsed.

The Somalia mess made the U.N. so nervous about intervention that it ignored an appeal a few months later from its own representative in Rwanda that a genocidal massacre was about to begin there.

In January 1994, Gen. Romeo Dallaire, the French Canadian commander of a small force called UNAMIR, cabled New York that the Hutu-led government in Kigali was planning the “extermination” of Tutsis.

He concluded his message, “Allons-y.” Let’s go.

The U.N. did nothing. Three months later, 800,000 Rwandans were dead.

Annan was running peacekeeping operations at the time, and his deputy cabled the brave Dallaire insisting on “the need to avoid entering into a course of action

that might lead to the use of force and unanticipated consequences.” That’s a sorry U.N. chapter, and it’s to Annan’s credit that he tells this and other stories so honestly.

The third debacle was Bosnia. In April 1993, the Security Council demanded that the town of Srebenica, filled with 60,000 Muslim refugees and encircled by Bosnian Serb forces, become a “safe area ... free from armed attacks.” The refugees waited more than two years for the U.N. to deliver. In July 1995, Gen. Ratko Mladic committed his infamous massacre. A month later, UNPROFOR finally intervened.

When Annan became secretary-general, the U.N. tried to bolster its peacekeeping efforts. It did better in East Timor, Kosovo and Libya in putting some teeth in the concept of a “responsibility to protect.” But the abiding story has been the U.N.’s limitations — in dealing with Iraq, the Palestinian issue, Iran and now Syria.

What to do? Albright and 15 other former foreign ministers just sent a letter to President Vladimir Putin saying they were “gravely disappointed” by Russia’s failure to support the U.N. mission and pleading for action to stop the war in Syria.

Albright’s office says the Russians responded negatively. As the whole of this revealing book demonstrates, there’s got to be a better way to prevent ruinous conflicts.

Obama touts trickle-down government WASHINGTON — With Americans, on average, worth less and earning less than when he was inaugurated, Barack Obama is requesting a second term by promising, or perhaps threatening, that prosperity is just around the corner if he can practice four more years of trickle-down government.

This is dubious policy, scattering borrowed money in the hope that this will fill consumers and investors with confidence. But recently Obama revealed remarkable ambitions for it when speaking in Pueblo, Colo., a pleasant place Democratic presidents should avoid.

After delivering in Pueblo what would be his last extended speech, Woodrow Wilson suffered a collapse that prefaced his disabling stroke. And in Pueblo this summer, Obama announced what should be a disqualifying aspiration.

After a delusional proclamation — General Motors “has come roaring back” — Obama said: “Now I want to do the same thing with manufacturing jobs, not just in the auto industry, but in every industry.”

We have been warned.

Obama’s supposed rescue of “the auto industry” — note the definite article, “the” — is a pedal on his political organ he pumps energetically in Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and elsewhere. Concerning which: He intervened to succor one of two of the American auto

industries. One, located in the South and elsewhere, does not have a long history of subservience to the United Auto Workers and for that reason has not needed Obama’s ministrations. He showered public money on two of three parts of the mostly northern auto industry, the one long entangled with the UAW. He socialized the losses of GM and Chrysler.

Ford was not a mendicant because it was not mismanaged.

Today, “I am GM, hear me roar” is again losing market share, and its stock, of which taxpayers own 26 percent, was trading last Thursday morning at $21, below the $33

price our investor in chief paid for it and below the $53 price it would have to reach to enable taxpayers to recover the entire $49.5 billion bailout. Roaring GM’s growth is in China.

But let’s not call that outsourcing of manufacturing jobs, lest we aggravate liberalism’s current bewilderment, which is revealed in two words it dare not speak and in a four-word phrase it will not stop speaking. The two words are both verbal flinches. One is “liberal,” the other “spend.”

The phrase is “as we know it.”

Jettisoning the label “liberal” was an act not just of selfpreservation, considering the damage liberals had done to the word, but also of semantic candor: The noble liberal tradition was about liberty — from oppressive kings, established churches and aristocracies. For progressives, as liberals now call themselves, liberty has value, when it has value, only instrumentally — only to the extent that it serves progress, as they restlessly redefine this over time.

The substitution of “invest” for “spend” (e.g., “We must invest more in food stamps,” and in this and that) is prudent but risky. People think there has been quite enough of (in Mitt Romney’s words) “throwing more borrowed money at bad ideas.” But should progressives call attention to their record

as investors of other people’s money (GM, Solyndra, etc.)?

When did peculiarly named progressives decide they must hunker down in a defensive crouch to fend off an unfamiliar future? Hoover Dam ended the lower Colorado River as we knew it. Rockefeller Center ended midtown Manhattan as we knew it. Desegregation ended the South as we knew it. The Internet ended ... you get the point. In their baleful resistance to any policy not “as we know it,” progressives resemble a crotchety 19th-century vicar in a remote English village banging his cane on the floor to express irritation about rumors of a newfangled, noisy and smoky something called a railroad.

Given Democrats’ current peevishness, it is fitting that Sandra Fluke will address their convention. In February she, you might not remember, became for progressives the victim du jour of America’s insufficient progress. She was a 30-year-old student — almost halfway to 62, when elderly Americans can begin collecting Social Security — unhappy about being unable to get someone else (Georgetown University, a Catholic institution) to pay for her contraceptives. Say this for Democrats: They recognize a symbol of their sensibility when they see one.

‘Cat’: Visit to KU a ‘10’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Anthony “Cat” Barber told Rivals.com he had a great time on his weekend recruiting trip to Kansas University.

In fact, Barber, a 6-foot-2 senior guard from Hampton (Va.) High, rated his visit as a 10 on a scale of 1-10.

Barber, who is ranked No. 9 nationally by Rivals. com, did not orally commit to KU after his visit. He will visit Louisville next weekend and Barber Alabama on Sept. 15. A visit to North Carolina State is also possible.

KU target Marcus Lee also will visit Louisville this upcoming weekend. Lee, a 6-9 power forward from Deer Valley High in Antioch, Calif., is ranked No. 15 nationally. Louisville and KU are also recruiting point guards Demetrius Jackson and Chris Jones. Jackson, 6-1 senior from Marian High in Mishawaka, Ind., is ranked No. 27

by Rivals.com. Jones, 5-10 sophomore, is a former Tennessee commit who attends Northwest Florida State College. !

Collison in Kenya: Former KU forward Nick Collison of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder is in Kenya as part of a UNICEF field trip. He is filing a travelogue for NBA. com. Collison previously attended Basketball without Borders in 2008 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

His current travels have taken him to Kakuma and a refugee camp that is home of over 100,000 individuals displaced by conflict or famine.

“Malnutrition, chronic disease, and a lack of water in the desert climate are some of the major issues that the camp deals with on a daily basis,” Collison wrote. “Each refugee is provided with water, food rations of 2,100 calories a day and free health care. In severe cases where they are unable to treat a person they can send up to six people a month to a hospital in Nairobi. They also provide education for the children, but it is difficult with limited resources and class sizes that average 114 and can reach as high as 180 students in a small classroom.

Simply perfect

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

It was a perfect Week 1 for the retooled Big 12, at least as far as the scoreboard goes. All nine of the league’s members in action, including newcomer West Virginia, got off to winning starts.

How they got there varied widely, and in some cases left more questions than answers.

Oklahoma scuffled its way to a 24-7 victory at UTEP, but the fourth-ranked Soon-

Big 12 undefeated in opening week, but some teams struggled more than others ers were tied at halftime. No. 22 Kansas State needed a late scoring binge to separate from stubborn Missouri State, which briefly tied the game with a field goal early in the third quarter.

Iowa State trailed Tulsa in the second quarter, Kansas had trouble putting away South Dakota State until late,

and No. 15 Texas was underwhelming in a defeat of Wyoming.

Sooners coach Bob Stoops believes it can all be traced back to one thing: parity.

“I mean, it’s been talked about for a long time now,” Stoops said. “There’s more and more good players that go around to everybody, and

since they changed the rules that one team can’t get 140 guys — you can only get so many — there’s guys everywhere. And it’ll remain that way.”

Stoops is referring to the scholarship restrictions imposed by the NCAA to prevent heavyweights from recruiting players simply to keep them off the rosters of their rivals.

There were no limits on scholarships until the early Please see BIG 12, page 5B

Return to Kansas ‘weird’ for Rice GA

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

BUDDIES AJ STEWARD, LEFT, AND DAYMOND PATTERSON GRADUATED from Kansas last spring. Now Steward is a graduate assistant at Rice, and Patterson is back for a final season at wideout for KU.

A little more than a year ago, they stood together as teammates with only a camera tripod and the rest of the Big 12 Conference as their enemies.

Today, it’s a different story for Kansas University wide receiver Daymond Patterson and former KU tight end AJ Steward, a graduate

assistant at Rice, as the former roommates, teammates and stars of the Internet reality show “DP and AJ Take On KU” will watch each other from opposing sidelines when the Owls face KU at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

“It’s weird,” said Steward, who remains close friends with more than half of KU’s roster. “It’s like playing against your little brother.

You care about him a lot, and you wish the best for him, but you always have to hold your ground, and you can never let your little brother beat you.”

Neither side is coming off a stellar opening-week performance. The Owls (01) were drubbed, 49-24, by UCLA in their opener, and the Jayhawks (1-0) let South Dakota State hang around into the fourth quarter be-

fore winning 31-17. But both games are in the past now, and, best friends or not, Steward said the past would not have much bearing on his preparation for this weekend’s game.

“Some of my best friends are on that team,” Steward said. “But, at the end of the day, I’m a competitor, and I want to win. I don’t plan on Please see STEWARD, page 3B

Serena records double bagel at Open NEW YORK (AP) — Didn’t take long for Serena Williams to show her fourth-round opponent at the U.S. Open where things were headed. “The first point of the whole match,� 82nd-ranked Andrea Hlavackova explained, “when I served, and she returned, like, a 100 mph forehand return, I was like, ‘OK, I know who I’m playing. You don’t have to prove it to me. I know.’�

Monday’s match was less than 15 seconds old. It might as well have been over.

Dominant from the moment she ripped that return of an 88 mph second serve, forcing Hlavackova into an out-of-control backhand that sailed well long, to the moment she powered a 116 mph service win- Williams ner on the last point, Williams extended her 21â „2-month stretch of excellence with a 6-0, 6-0 victory to get to the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows.

Those two big zeros pretty much tell the story; it’s the fifth

Report: NCAA looking at Bruins LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA says two of its freshmen basketball recruits have not yet received final amateurism certification from the NCAA and is disputing what it calls “misleading and inaccurate public reports� regarding its incoming class.

A Scout.com report says freshmen Kyle Anderson and Tony Parker are being investigated by the NCAA for potential basketball recruiting violations.

Freshman Shabazz Muhammad has been the subject of an ongoing NCAA investigation involving alleged improper benefits he received in his recruitment from boosters of his AAU program. The forward from Las Vegas was one of the nation’s most highly sought-after recruits. “Recently, there have been misleading and inaccurate public reports regarding the initialeligibility certification of our men’s basketball team’s incoming class,� athletic director Dan Guerrero said in a statement Monday. “Currently, there are two men’s basketball student-athletes who have not yet received final amateurism certification from the NCAA,� he said, refusing to comment further for privacy reasons.

The report posted Sunday on Scout.com’s website, which cites unspecified sources close to the situation, says the NCAA is looking into allegations of violations involving Anderson and Parker. It says sources have indicated another college basketball program turned in evidence of violations in the recruitments of Muhammad, Anderson and Parker. The report said it was unknown whether UCLA was specifically named in the alleged violations.

time in her career Williams won with what’s commonly called a “double bagel.� Some other impressive numbers: Williams won 60 of 89 points, built a 31-9 edge in winners and improved to 23-1 since losing in the first round of the French Open. That run includes singles and doubles titles at both Wimbledon and the London Olympics.

Next for the fourth-seeded Williams, who won the U.S. Open in 1999, 2002 and 2008, is a match against former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic, who reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the first time since winning the 2008 French Open by defeating 55th-ranked Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria 6-0, 6-4.

Williams — who lost in the third round of doubles with older sister Venus on Monday night — is 3-0 against Ivanovic, including a straight-set victory in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows last year.

In the semifinals, the Williams-Ivanovic winner will meet either No. 10 Sara Errani or No. 20 Roberta Vinci, doubles partners who both eliminated higherseeded women Monday and now face the uncomfortable prospect of trying to beat a best buddy.

Errani and Vinci teamed up to win the French Open doubles championship in June, and now one of them is going to be the first woman from Italy to play in the U.S. Open semifinals since the professional era began in 1968.

Errani, the runner-up to Maria Sharapova at the French Open, got past No. 6 Angelique Kerber of Germany 7-6 (5), 6-3.

Reaching her first singles quarterfinal in 32 career Grand Slam tournaments, Vinci stunned No. 2 Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1, 6-4.

Radwanska could sympathize with Hlavackova’s plight, having lost to Williams in the Wimbledon final. “When she’s on fire, you can’t do anything about it. It doesn’t matter what you try to do, it’s going to be a winner,� Radwanska said. “It’s just Serena. She’s a great champion.�

So is No. 1-seeded Roger Federer, of course, owner of a record 17 Grand Slam titles, including five at the U.S. Open. As he attempts to add to those numbers, Federer got some extra rest Monday, because his fourth-round opponent, 23rd-seeded Mardy Fish of the United States, withdrew

hours before their scheduled match for precautionary reasons, citing medical advice.

The man Federer beat in July’s Wimbledon final and lost to in August’s Olympic final, Andy Murray, muted 15th-seeded Milos Raonic’s big serve and won 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 Monday night to reach an eighth consecutive major quarterfinal.

No. 3 Murray will play No. 12 Marin Cilic of Croatia, who put together a 7-5, 6-4, 6-0 victory over 50th-ranked Martin Klizan of Slovakia, the last left-hander and unseeded man remaining.

Fish’s walkover left soon-toretire 2003 U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick — who plays 2009 champ Juan Martin del Potro in the fourth round tonight — as the last American man in the field, and it allowed the top-seeded Federer to reach his 34th consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinal, extending another record he owns.

Federer now faces No. 6 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, who eliminated No. 11 Nicolas Almagro of Spain 7-6 (4), 6-4, 6-1. Berdych stunned Federer in the 2010 Wimbledon quarterfinals on the way to reaching the final there.

McIlroy edges Oosthuizen by one for Deutsche win NORTON, MASS. — In a Labor Day finish filled with some of golf’s biggest names, Rory McIlroy sent his stock soaring in the Deutsche Bank Championship.

McIlroy overcame a three-shot deficit Monday in five holes and then overcame a few mistakes on the final two holes to close with a 4-under 67 and escape with a one-shot victory over Louis Oosthuizen.

McIlroy joined Tiger Woods as the only three-time winners on the PGA Tour this year, and with one of his wins being the PGA Championship, that might be enough for his peers to vote him player of the year. He also finally built a comfortable gap at No. 1 in the world.

Oosthuizen had a 12-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to force a playoff, only it slid by on the right side for a 71.

Woods made an early charge to get back in the hunt, though he never got closer than three shots until a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th gave him a 66. He finished in third place, two shots behind, and earned enough money to become the first player to surpass $100 million in PGA Tour earnings.

Phil Mickelson also had a 66 and tied for fourth, along with Dustin Johnson, who had a 70 and likely played his way onto the Ryder Cup team. Brandt Snedeker made a strong case for a captain’s pick with a 65-67 weekend to finish sixth.

Davis Love III will announce his four picks today in New York.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Dad: Mathieu to enroll at LSU Tyrann Mathieu’s adoptive father says the former LSU star plans to enroll in classes at LSU, even though he cannot play football there this season.

Tyrone Mathieu tells WVUE-TV in New Orleans that his son plans to enroll at the Baton Rouge campus today, the deadline for the fall semester.

The football star known as the Honey Badger has been working out personal problems with former NBA coach and player John Lucas in Houston. Lucas battled drug and alcohol problems during his career and now counsels others.

The 2011 Heisman Trophy finalist was kicked off the team at LSU Aug. 10 for failing drug tests.

LSU has declined to speculate about whether Mathieu could play for the Tigers in 2013.

Mathieu also will be eligible for the 2013 NFL Draft.

McIlroy won the tournament.

NIU reassigns coordinator DEKALB, ILL. — Northern Illinois has reassigned offensive coordinator Mike Dunbar so he can focus on his fight with cancer.

The school announced the move Monday night. It would not say what kind of cancer he has.

A longtime college coach who had most recently spent the 2010 season as New Mexico State’s offensive coordinator, Dunbar was diagnosed shortly after his arrival at NIU in February and was treated in the spring with the idea that he would be fully recovered in time for the season. Instead, his role is being reduced one game into it after his latest medical update.

Offensive line coach and run-game coordinator Rod Carey and fullbacks/tight ends coach Joe Tripodi will split his duties, with Tripodi being elevated to a full-time assistant and assuming recruiting responsibilities.

Darvish sharp as Rangers rip Royals KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — While Yu Darvish flirted with a no-hitter, the Texas Rangers were hitting the ball over the Kauffman Stadium fences.

Darvish retired the first 17 batters, Texas hit five home runs and the Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals, 8-4, Monday in a game that turned testy.

Adrian Beltre and Nelson Cruz homered on consecutive pitches in the sixth inning. Cruz watched his drive sail over the wall, then was hit by Louis Coleman’s first pitch leading off the ninth.

Cruz took a few steps to the mound, but was restrained by catcher Brayan Pena.

“It’s part of the game,” Pena said. “We’re trying to go inside. Cruz is a very strong guy, and we were trying to not let him extend his arms. He is one

Both teams were issued a warning by plate umpire Mike Everitt.

fired up already. All he did was make it shine a little brighter.”

Josh Hamilton hit his 38th homer and Geovany Soto added a threerun shot as Texas won for the ninth time in 12 games. The AL West leaders moved a season-high 26 games over .500 with some more pop after hit four homers Sunday in an 8-3 victory at Cleveland.

A day after he homered and doubled in his first two big-league at-bats, 19-year-old Jurickson Profar was not in the Texas lineup. Second baseman Ian Kinsler, who sat out Sunday because of a stiff back, returned to the lineup.

Darvish (14-9), who retired the final seven batters he faced in his previous start, did not allow a runner until two out in the sixth when he walked Johnny Giavotella on a close full-count pitch.

Questions plentiful as Chiefs ready for opener KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs might be the only NFL team that has more questions heading into the regular season than it had at the start of training camp.

Most of it pertains to injuries. Linebacker Derrick Johnson has been hobbling around on a bad ankle, cornerback Brandon Flowers has a bum heel, safety Kendrick Lewis is dealing with a shoulder injury, and backup corner-

back Jalil Brown has been trying to recover from a groin strain.

Then there’s the suspension of linebacker Tamba Hali, who violated the league’s substance-abuse policy, and a ragged preseason that ended with three straight losses. The defense was bludgeoned by St. Louis and Seattle, and the offense looked herky-jerky whenever it saw the field.

“They’re not going to cancel the game and we’re

going to play,” Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said almost defiantly. “We will play, and I think those guys will represent themselves very well.”

Just who “those guys” are Sunday against Atlanta is another question.

Johnson was hurt in the Chiefs’ preseason finale against Green Bay, and he spent a sweltering workout Monday riding a stationary bike in the corner of the practice field. He said af-

and current Rice assistant) Adrian Mayes gave me a call and asked me if I knew anyone looking to become a graduate assistant. It was just perfect timing and an amazing blessing.”

Steward is not the only Jayhawk on the Owls’ coaching staff. Former offensive line coach John Reagan coaches the Oline, and Mayes and Ryan Cantrell, both offensive linemen at KU from 200508, are GAs with Steward.

“It’s going to be fun seeing all of those guys,” Patterson said. “I’m just happy that AJ got on because coaching was something he wanted to do, and it all just fell the right way. He’s going to do well down there, and I’m looking for him to move up really fast because he is an awesome coach and coaching is definitely a passion of his.”

Steward said he never checked Rice’s 2012 schedule during the interview process. However, once he became an official member of the staff, he took a peek and saw the words September 8 and Kansas.

“It was kind of overwhelming,” Steward admit-

ted. “I was just like, ‘Wow. On top of this great opportunity, I get to go back and play against my alma mater the first year I’m out.’ I’m definitely ready. It did come fast, but I’m really excited.”

talking any smack. We’re all good friends. Me and DP will have our words, jokingly, but I always wish the best for those guys.”

For the most part, the feeling seems mutual.

“You know how me and AJ are,” Patterson said during the preseason.

“We’ve been talking back and forth, and he’s been joking around saying that he knows everybody on the team so he’s gonna have a master gameplan.

But the one thing holding him back is we have a whole new offensive coaching staff.”

Steward’s journey to Rice came out of nowhere. Several months back, when he was driving home to St. Louis and growing increasingly frustrated that he had gotten little feedback from the schools he sent résumés to, his phone rang.

“I’ll never forget it,” Steward said. “I was in my car, and (former Jayhawk

Defense on track Monday morning on the Big 12 coaches teleconference, KU coach Charlie Weis shared what he thought was one of the most impressive parts of Saturday’s victory.

“The No. 1 thing I was concerned about was how new a lot of these guys (on defense) are,” Weis said.

“And I thought, for the first game out, the number of busts on defense was at a minimum, which was very encouraging.”

KU’s defense surrendered 411 yards of total offense but also blocked two punts, recorded five turnovers and picked up two sacks while forcing five three-and-outs.

Crist critique Also during the teleconference, Weis offered insight into how quarterback Dayne Crist responded to his first game as a Jayhawk.

“I think that Dayne was probably not real satisfied with how the game went,” Weis said. “When our passing efficiency is under 50 percent, there’s a number of factors, but I think there’s a number of plays out there that we would expect more from him, way more completions and a much better efficiency rating than we had that game.”

Lack of chemistry with the KU receivers and firstgame nerves likely contributed to Crist’s 17-of-36 showing in the opener.

But Weis said he did not expect Crist to use any of those as an excuse.

“Every game, it has to do with all those things,” he said. “But Dayne expects for us to be completing two-thirds of our passes, so when you complete 47 percent of the passes, regardless of whose fault it is, it still comes back on the shoulders of the quarterback.”

KU early favorite The Jayhawks opened as 6-point favorites over Rice this week, and by Monday night the line was up to KU minus-10.

ing if I can help this team,” Johnson said. “The plan is to get back on Sunday. I’m a ballplayer, so it’s going to be hard to sit this one out.”

They’ll already be playing without Hali, who is also coming off his first Pro Bowl. He’s not eligible to practice or play until Week 2.

The defense is further depleted in the secondary, where Lewis is almost certain to miss the Falcons game after getting hurt in

the Chiefs’ second preseason game.

Flowers hasn’t practiced fully since July 31, and his backup Brown could miss the opener,, leaving third-string defensive back Jacques Reeves to start against one of the most dynamic pass offenses in the NFL. “You’d like to have all your guys all the time, but in this business, you don’t have all of them all the time,” Crennel said.

Rays top reeling Yankees ————

AL East tightens up; N.Y. clings to 1-game lead The Associated Press

Rays 4, Yankees 3 ST. PETERSBURG, FLA. — James Shields pitched eight strong innings to outlast CC Sabathia, and light-hitting Chris Gimenez drove in two runs Monday, helping the Rays beat the Yankees.

The Yankees, who led by 10 games earlier this summer, had their edge cut to one game by Baltimore, which beat Toronto. The Rays moved within 21⁄2 games of New York.

Shields (13-8) and the Rays ruined the return of Alex Rodriguez. The slugger went 1-for-4 with a strikeout in his first game after being sidelined six weeks because of a broken left hand.

Nationals ensure first winning season The Associated Press

Nationals 2, Cubs 2 WASHINGTON — Ross Detwiler allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, and Adam LaRoche homered Monday, giving the Nationals their first winning season with a victory over the Cubs.

The NL East-leading Nationals improved to 82-52. The club moved from Montreal to Washington for the 2005 season and went 81-81 that year.

In 2008 and 2009, the team lost a combined 205 games, then finished 80-81 in 2011.

The Nationals’ win allowed them to hold their 61⁄2-game division lead over Atlanta.

Stiffer test awaits OSU STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — After a whole offseason of anticipation, receiver Isaiah Anderson couldn’t believe it was already time for him to be finished playing in the season opener for No. 19 Oklahoma State.

With a minute or two left in the first quarter, receivers coach Kasey Dunn walked over to him, shook his hand and told him he was retired for the evening. The Cowboys were well on their way to an 84-0 rout of overmatched Savannah State, and it was already time to show mercy.

Anderson only got to be on the field for about 25 snaps, and he said Monday that “it didn’t even seem like that when I sat down.”

“I at least wanted to play the first half,” Anderson said.

Starting cornerback Brodrick Brown didn’t even get that much playing time, getting yanked after just over a dozen snaps.

Starting tailback Joseph Randle carried the ball only six times, piling up 107 yards and two touchdowns.

The degree of difficulty, and the workload, is about to go up for all of them.

OKLAHOMA STATE RUNNING BACK JOSEPH RANDLE (1) CELEBRATES a touchdown in OSU’s 84-0 victory over Savannah State on Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.

After a walkover of a first week, the Cowboys (1-0) hit the road to face Arizona (1-0) this Saturday night.

Oklahoma State has rolled to easy wins against the Wildcats each of the past two years, winning the 2010 Alamo Bowl 3610 before recording a 37-14 victory last season in Stillwater. There are plenty of changes for this year’s game, though.

Freshman starting quarterback Wes Lunt will be playing in his first college road game for Oklahoma State, and it will be against

a different Arizona team in its first season under Rich Rodriguez.

Lunt played only four offensive series against Savannah State, completing all 11 of his passes against relatively little resistance. Coach Mike Gundy said several times that his players were never “stressed” in the game against a team that was 4-72 against Football Championship Subdivision competition over the previous decade.

“It always concerns us because as a coach, you want to get your players

enough work to where you feel like they’ve advanced in different areas and gotten prepared for the next week but you don’t want to get them too much work to where they stress their bodies, they stress their legs or could have at times been vulnerable to some sort of an injury,” Gundy said.

“We would have liked to have more work. It didn’t work out that way.”

Still, Gundy preferred being able to pull his starters before the end of the first quarter as opposed to leaving them in late into the fourth quarter on a night when the temperature on the Boone Pickens Stadium turf was estimated to be 127 degrees. The air temperature at kickoff was 102 degrees. “(The players) would have to feel better now than they did a week ago about executing and getting the ball in the hands of the right guys,” Gundy said.

“But I think they’re smart enough to know that we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us and we have a ways to go, and they understand the game that they were in and I believe they have a good feel for who we’re playing and what the challenge is this week.”

Stoops: Sooners can get better NORMAN, OKLA. (AP) — The fact No. 4 Oklahoma wasn’t as impressive as expected in its season opener at Texas-El Paso doesn’t greatly concern coach Bob Stoops, who said Monday there was nothing the Sooners did wrong that can’t be corrected.

With the Sooners set to face Football Championship Series opponent Florida A&M on Saturday, the talk during Stoops’ weekly news conference focused more on Oklahoma’s 24-7 win over UTEP. The Sooners couldn’t put away the pesky Miners until scoring two touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

UTEP returned a blocked punt for a firstquarter touchdown and

trailed only 10-7 entering the fourth quarter after a series of Oklahoma errors.

On offense, a chop-block penalty wiped out a long pass play, another pass play was nullified because the receiver was barely out of bounds and an offensive line with several new faces surrendered three sacks.

The Sooners’ defense didn’t surrender a point but struggled to stop UTEP running back Nathan Jeffery, who rushed for 177 yards. Jeffery reeled off a 71-yard thirdquarter run from his own 3-yard line and only a touchdown-saving tackle by cornerback Aaron Colvin kept the Miners from taking the lead.

Stoops complained

Big 12

10 days before the season, but showed enough moxie that the Wildcats didn’t get control until 20 minutes were left.

“That’s going to be a good football team. They were picked last in their conference,” Snyder said.

“You have to realize that their defense kept us out of the end zone for the entire first half and into the second half. I think they are going to be fine.”

Not everybody in the Big 12 had a tough time squeezing through Week 1, though.

Bookmakers made No. 19 Oklahoma State a nearly 70 point favorite on Savannah State, a line so preposterous that most people figured the Cowboys couldn’t possibly cover the spread.

Then they scored five touchdowns by the end of the first quarter, yanked the majority of their starters in the second, and did everything but kneel on the ball the entire second half to keep the game from getting out of hand. Oklahoma State still won 84-0.

Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said it was never his intention for the game to get that one-sided.

Regardless, Gundy said he’d prefer beating up on a patsy — even if there are fewer now than ever — rather than playing someone that could give the Pokes problems.

“I’m not a big fan of opening against what would be a tradition-rich national power, because it makes your preseason so much more difficult,” he said. “Would you like to keep (starters) in through the third quarter? Yes, but I wouldn’t trade it for having to play into the fourth.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

1970s, and for much of the decade the limit was 105.

It’s been trimmed twice since then to the present limit of 85, so players that the Sooners might have stocked up on during the heyday of Barry Switzer are going places such as UTEP, where they are guaranteed a scholarship and have a better chance to see the field.

The result is more talented teams from the middle-tier of college football.

Programs that were once the punching bags of the big boys — think Boise State — have a better chance of becoming legitimate powers, and all of those early season blowouts that became a hallmark of the non-conference portion of the schedule have become a rarity.

“Every time someone has a close game, they say, ‘Oh, they overlooked them,’” said Stoops, whose team beat Air Force by a field goal in 2010. “That’s not always the case.”

The trickle-down of talent extends beyond divisions, too.

Schools such as South Dakota State that play in the Football Championship Subdivision are getting recruits that two decades ago would have been backups at a power school such as Nebraska, and the result are more scores like this: Youngstown State 31, Pittsburgh 17.

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder certainly understands such peril.

Missouri State won two games a year ago and even had an assistant coach quit

about the tendency of critics to “judge the whole season on one game,” pointing out the Sooners looked impressive in last season’s opener (a 47-14 win over Tulsa) before finishing 10-3 and not winning the Big 12 Conference title.

Oklahoma started in less-than-stellar fashion in 2004 (a 40-24 win over Bowling Green), 2006 (a 24-17 win over AlabamaBirmingham) and 2010 (a 31-24 win over Utah State) but went on to win Big 12 titles each of those years.

“My concern is that we get better, make improvement, learn from some of the things we weren’t quite as efficient at,” Stoops said. “That’s our

job as coaches to point out and for the players to take notice of it, be aware of it and improve it, moving forward as we go. It’s one game and we’ve got a long year in front of us. How you start doesn’t always have anything to do with how you finish.”

While the Sooners averaged more than five yards per carry against UTEP, Stoops said that number could have been higher if not for busted assignments. Stoops said on two of the sacks, quarterback Landry Jones had time to throw the ball away.

“Everywhere it was just a little off,” Jones said.

“When everyone is a little off, it looks pretty bad out there. We’ll get better and move on down the road.”

VIRGINIA TECH PLACE KICKER CODY JOURNELL (89) CELEBRATES after making a 17-yard field goal in overtime to clinch a 20-17 victory over Georgia Tech on Monday in Blacksburg, Va.

Virginia Tech trips Jackets BLACKSBURG, VA. (AP) — Cody Journell kicked a 17-yard field goal in overtime, and No. 16 Virginia Tech beat Georgia Tech, 20-17, on Monday night.

Georgia Tech got the ball first in overtime, but quarterback Tevin Washington threw the ball away under pressure and was intercepted.

Tevin Washington’s 10yard touchdown pass with 44 seconds left in regulation had given the Yellow Jackets a 17-14 lead.

Logan Thomas then drove the Hokies and Journell’s 41-yard field goal tied it at the end of regulation.

After Washington’s turnover in overtime, needing only to score to win, the Hokies got runs of 6 and 18 yards from Michael Holmes, before Journell spared them another crushing loss in a big early game.

The Hokies trailed 1714 until Journell, who had earlier missed from 38 yards, made his first kick.

Until his overtime mistake and Journell’s clutch kicking, Washington was primed to be the star.

Georgia Tech’s run-first quarterback hit Deon Hill with a 10-yard touchdown pass with 44 seconds remaining, stunning the sellout crowd in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams.

Four plays earlier, Washington was flushed from the pocket on a fourth-and-6 play from the Hokies 37, and after eluding a pass rusher, he found B.J. Bostic with three defenders around him for a 19-yard gain on the right sideline to keep the drive alive.

The Hokies, who had gone ahead on Thomas’ 42-yard scoring pass to Demitri Knowles with 7:46 to play, got the ball back and drove to the Yellow Jackets 24 with 6 seconds remaining.

The Yellow Jackets used a timeout to try to ice Journell, but his kick sailed went through the uprights to tie it at 17.

Fans, most of whom came clad in orange, didn’t even wait for the officials to signal the kick good, but took their cues from the reactions of those with a better view and were already celebrating having scored more points in the last 7:46 than the first 52:14.

Before the offensive flurry in the fourth quarter, the game was a punting contest that turned on a punt that went awry.

Georgia Tech had managed just two first downs when Hokies freshman punter A.J. Hughes set them up with a mistake.

Dropped back in punt formation near midfield, he let a snap go through his hands and scrambled to fall on it for a 22-yard loss.

MIAMI RUNNING BACK DUKE JOHNSON (8) CARRIES THE BALL against Boston College defensive back Jim Noel (23), linebacker Steele Divitto (49), and defensive back Manuel Asprilla on Saturday in Newton, Mass.

Duke Johnson has splashy Miami debut CORAL GABLES, FLA. (AP) — Miami running back Duke Johnson was not completely certain what would happen in his college debut.

It more than met expectations.

He rushed for 135 yards, the most of any freshman in the country on college football’s opening weekend. He had two touchdown runs, both exceeding 50 yards — something only three major-college players managed to do in a single game last season.

He even got a shout-out tweet from NBA MVP LeBron James of the Miami Heat, who raved about Johnson’s speed.

Ho-hum, Johnson said.

He celebrated after the win by getting some sleep.

Lots of sleep.

“My sister and a couple of my friends, they were more excited than I was,” Johnson said.

A 54-yard run for a score in the second quarter, followed by a 56-yard sprint for another in the third ensured that Johnson’s debut would be a winning one, with the Hurricanes beating Boston College 4132. A stronger test figures to await the Hurricanes this week, with Miami (10) on the road again, this time to play No. 22 Kansas State (1-0).

The Wildcats won 2824 in Miami last season, despite giving up 106 yards rushing to nowformer Hurricane Lamar Miller. Of those, 59 came on one play — Miller averaged 2.8 yards on his other 17 carries against KState a year ago.

DENVER BRONCOS HEAD COACH JOHN FOX TALKS with a referee during an NFL preseason football game Thursday in Glendale, Ariz.

Replacements to ref openers NEW YORK (AP) — Officially — at least in their comments — NFL players and coaches aren’t concerning themselves with refereering.

The NFL and its lockedout officials weren’t talking two days before the season begins, a clear indication replacements will be on the field for Wednesday night’s opener.

Doesn’t matter, according to many of the guys who call the plays or carry them out.

“We’re going to play the games regardless,” Chargers All-Pro safety Weddle said Monday.

“Everyone makes mistakes. I make mistakes. It’s just the way human nature is. You can’t get hard on guys that are trying to do the best they can. You’ve just got to deal with it.

“Each week, each game, each practice, they’ll get better, so it’s not a concern of ours. Regardless, we’ve got to go out there and execute and take it out of their hands. Let’s go out and play good football, execute at a high level and then they won’t be in position to throw flags and make judgment calls.”

Broncos coach John Fox echoed those thoughts.

“In this game you’ve got to overcome a lot of things,” Fox said. “You’ve got to overcome the other team. Sometimes you’ve got to overcome your own mistakes. So, officials have always been a part of it and they’ve never been an excuse. So, I don’t care who’s out there, we’ve got

Jags won’t rush back star RB Jones-Drew JACKSONVILLE, FLA. (AP) — Maurice JonesDrew will begin the season much like he did his NFL career: a backup and third-down running back.

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey said Monday that JonesDrew will rotate in on third-down plays Sunday at Minnesota. The NFL’s leading rusher in 2011 also will “get a series” in place of starter Rashad Jennings, Mularkey added.

“I don’t know the number of reps that he will play, but I would imagine that he will play, yes,” Mularkey said.

Jones-Drew ended a 38day holdout Sunday without a new contract. He asked the team to rework the final two years of his five-year, $31 million contract, but the Jaguars declined.

Jones-Drew was unapologetic in regards to his absence and has no regrets about how he handled things. He spent about 12 hours at the facility Sunday, meeting with coaches, taking a conditioning test and studying the playbook.

He practiced with the team Monday for the first time since before last

Dear Annie: My husband and I are trying to raise our three children in a traditional, conservative environment, but my in-laws undermine our values. We recently went on a cruise with them, along with my husband’s brother and niece and her live-in boyfriend. At one point, my oldest daughter didn’t feel well, so I took her back to the cabin for a couple of hours. When we found the rest of the family, they were having a drinkfest right in front of our 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son.

Not only that, but they were buying alcohol for the niece and her boyfriend, both of whom are under 21.

My husband was taking part, as well, which infuriated me. But I was even angrier with my mother-in-law, because I feel that women should be protectors of their children and grandchildren, instead of enablers.

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

My mother-in-law is well aware of the values we teach, but if I say anything, she says I’m judging her and being disrespectful.

We spent very little time with the family for the rest of the trip because they wanted to party and we wanted a more wholesome environment. How do we handle this type of situation when it comes up again? — Kids First Dear Kids: Please understand that you cannot control what other people do, only how you

‘Berk’ cartoon has dragons Is there a downside to peace?

In the Viking kingdom featured in the animated series “Dragons: Riders of Berk” (6:30 p.m., Cartoon Network), the price of tranquility runs high. Inspired by the movie “How to Train Your Dragon,” “Berk” asks us to imagine a world where dragons and people have become friends. This seems like a plus, until the friendly giant lizards start scaring the barnyard animals.

The kids know the dragons mean no harm and can be fun playmates — particularly while sledding down mountains — but try telling that to sheep.

Lead characters Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) and Astrid (America Ferrera) are old enough to ride fire-breathing monsters like allterrain vehicles, but too young to find the opposite gender anything but icky.

Give them a few years, and they’ll probably outgrow their lizard-loving and start fixating on each other. Gosh, that sounds like the real meaning of “Puff, the Magic Dragon”!

The animation has that crisp, cold, video-game quality you’ve come to expect of these productions. The animals and the Viking-like adults seem bulbous and top-heavy, as if waiting for some 3-D effect to kick in. They stand on tiny legs and frequently fall over. They also speak in a confusing array of accents that shift from Scotland to Norway by way of Minnesota.

If you listen hard, you can hear Tim Conway, Stephen Root and Mark Hamill among those providing voices.

Folks who enjoyed ABC’s “NY Med” can shift locations to “Chicago Trauma” (9 p.m., National Geographic).

Coverage of the Democratic National Convention (6 p.m., CNN, Current; 8 p.m., PBS, Fox News, MSNBC; and 10 p.m., ABC, CBS and NBC) begins in earnest. Continuous live feeds of the gathering can be found on Internet sites maintained by YouTube and C-SPAN.

Tonight’s other highlights

A fixture on “The View” and former HLN talk show host gets a new perch on “Joy Behar: Say Anything!” (6 p.m., Current).

The four-hour miniseries “Coma” (8 p.m., A&E) concludes.

Museum thieves target rare artifacts on “White Collar” (8 p.m., USA).

Annie tells Arthur (Peter Gallagher) that she’ll personally retrieve Simon on “Covert Affairs” (9 p.m., USA).

A pop culture archive 30 years in the making needs pruning and prioritizing on “Collection Intervention” (9 p.m., Syfy).

respond. You also cannot control every environment, so use these situations as learning experiences. Talk to your kids calmly about what’s going on and how you feel about it. Your kids undoubtedly will encounter other such situations when you are not around, and the hope is that they will remember the good judgment and values you have taught them. And please stop blaming your mother-in-law. Your husband should have been the protector of his own children.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Sept. 4: This year you often feel as though you cannot get certain elements of your life under control. You won’t want to leave anything to chance.

If you are single, the romance you think you are attracting could be very different in reality. If you are attached, you will have control of your finances.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might find it difficult to move forward in the morning.

Perhaps you have pushed yourself beyond your limit. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You beam, and others respond. You might not be up for following a routine; instead, you could want to indulge in more spontaneity. Tonight: Treat yourself well.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Your day improves as time goes on. You know what someone wants because you have the ability to zero in on his or her needs.

Tonight: Do for you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Assume a low-key attitude, and refuse to push yourself as hard as usual. You are able to change gears and do something differently, if you pull back. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You initially could feel quite pressured by certain events and by what is going on around you.

You naturally will loosen up and open up to new beginnings. Tonight: With friends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to do

jacquelinebigar.com

something in a very different manner from how you have done it in the past. Detachment helps you see the big picture. Tonight: A must appearance.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Deal with a partner first thing in the morning. You could be taken aback by what is happening around you. Tonight: Relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Spend quality time with a child or loved one. You could be withdrawn or wondering exactly how to handle a difficult situation.

Tonight: Dinner for two!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might have organized a very tight schedule, but you will watch it unravel quickly during the day. Do not try to fight city hall.

Tonight: Be aware of your spending habits.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You wake up in the mood to hang out with the one you love, but clearly you have much to do.

If you decide to change direction, there could be repercussions in other areas of your life. Tonight: Could be late.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Getting going could be a major effort for you, yet one that is worthwhile. Tap into your innate creativity, and you’ll discover solutions to what is seemingly impossible to resolve. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Move on a key matter early in the day, when you will be most open to communication. Tension builds throughout the day. Tonight: At home.

If we were to say anything to him about this, he would be upset and probably not speak to us again. We are running out of excuses to avoid his visits and hope he reads your column and makes the connection.
