Former Ukraine president accepts Dole Prize

Viktor Yushchenko’s answer was partly diplomatic and partly sarcastic Monday night.

Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute of Politics, asked the former Ukrainian president about the argument that the United States and other nations from the outside were responsible for 2004 Ukrainian protests that became known as the Orange Revolution, which ultimately got the pro-Western Yushchenko elected.

He said he respected America but that U.S. efforts were way overestimated — likely due to rumors in Russia.

“That was exclusively and only the energy of my nation and my people,” said the 57-year-old

Yushchenko to a packed house Monday evening as he accepted the 2011 Dole Leadership Prize at the institute on Kansas University’s West Campus.

Plus, he quipped, “there isn’t a single PR campaign in the world” that would have brought millions of people out to protest for days in the freezing Ukrainian winter.

The former president, who lost a rematch to his rival Viktor Yanukovych in 2010, reflected on his country’s struggles for independence and its history, especially in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and spoke about the importance of democracy.

The institute awarded Yushchenko the prize that comes with a $25,000 award to recognize the 20-year anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union. Past winners have included former President Please see YUSHCHENKO, page 2A

Local aviators weigh in on air show tragedy

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Lawrence aviator, local attorney and real estate developer Steve Craig was standing less than 500 yards away from the air show plane crash that killed 10 people and injured dozens more Friday in Reno, Nev. “It was your worst fear in these races and any air show when you’re flying very high performance aircraft in close proximity to the ground and spectators,” Craig said.

“The sad thing is so many innocent people were killed.”

He also was acquainted with the pilot, 74-year-old Jimmy Leeward, who lost control of his modified World War II-era P-51 Mustang and slammed into a box seat area.

After Craig witnessed the event and saw photos and videos later, he said he had formed an opinion about how the crash occurred, though he stressed that federal aviation officials are still investigating the crash. Craig said as the plane was losing control it looked like it was missing a part of the tail called the trim tab, which can affect the plane’s stability.

Regents to discuss Big 12 realignment possibilities

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

State higher education officials will meet in closed session on Thursday to review what is going on with the Big 12.

Kansas Board of Regents Chairman Ed McKechnie, of Arcadia, said Monday that he wanted to make sure board members were up to speed on all the talk about conference realignment.

Officials with Kansas University and Kansas State University will be included in the meeting, McKechnie said. The board is holding its

a durable good, said Adam Ritchie, president of LED Source, a new franchise store in downtown Lawrence that sells LED lights.

The lifespan for the 60watt and 40-watt LED replacement on the market is about 25,000 hours. Left on for three hours a day, the LED would last for 23 years.

The Southeastern Conference has voted to accept Texas A&M, and Missouri has reportedly been looking to go there too. Oklahoma and Texas are considering whether to go to the Pac-12, and if they did, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech might land there too.

Reports have indicated that officials with the Big East and Big 12 are discussing a possible merger if Big 12 teams start leaving.

McKechnie said whatever happens he wants KU and KSU to be in the same conference, and hopefully that conference will be the Big 12.

“I believe the Big 12 has more to offer than some folks are giving it credit for,” he said.

McKechnie said he has spent a lot of time over the past few weeks talking with higher education officials with other Big 12 institutions.

“There are as many scenarios out there as there are people to talk to,” he said.

ers note the debt policy is not a hardand-fast debt ceiling, like Congress was dealing with CITY this sumCOMMISSION mer.

Instead, it is a city policy that can be set aside if city leaders so choose. The guideline also is just one of six measurements the city uses to monitor its debt. The city doesn’t appear to be on the verge of exceeding any of the other guidelines, although the policy is written in such a way that it calls for the city to meet all six of the measurements.

But the biggest point that City Hall leaders make about the issue is that the new debt is appropriate because city voters say it is.

Voters approved at the ballot box the $18 million plan for the library, and the 1.5 mill property tax levy increase to pay for the new debt.

The issue of whether the new debt would put the city out of compliance with its own debt policy, however, was not raised during the campaign for the library.

The debt policy also does have practical implications.

Ed Mullins, the city’s director of finance, said the guidelines are meant to help the city maintain a high credit rating, which in turn lowers the city’s borrowing costs.

“It helps us look at things in a way that Moody’s (the credit rating agency) is going to look at things,” Mullins said.

The guidelines have been successful on that front over the years. The city recently was reaffirmed as having an Aa1 credit rating, the second best rating that Moody’s offers on debt.

How much Moody’s pays attention to the per capita debt totals is hard to estimate.

The debt guideline issue may be one that comes up again at City Hall. The city is expected to have a debate at some point of whether to add new debt to build a West Lawrence Recreation Center, in addition to more debt for streets, the Farmland property, fire truck purchases and other projects.

Corliss said he may want to look at the debt policy and make sure it is updated for today’s environment — for example, he’s not sure when it was last adjusted for inflation. He said the city needs to be mindful of how much debt it issues, but he believes the city probably ought to be issuing slightly more debt than it has been.

He said that’s because the city has a significant list of projects it needs to tackle in terms of maintenance and on the economic development front. He also said interest rates have put the cost of borrowing money at historic lows.

“There may be times when it is appropriate for a community to stretch itself a bit when it comes to capital improvements,” Corliss said. “I think we may be in one of those times.”

Even with those concerns, the EPA maintains the amount of mercury found in CFLs is nothing to the amount of mercury power plants would produced if they needed to create the energy to power the more inefficient incandescent bulbs.

LEDs do not contain any mercury and can be thrown in the trash, but it’s preferable to recycle them.

in the lifetime of one LED bulb several CFLs would have to be replaced.

Both Lechtenberg and Ritchie said LEDs make the most sense in certain situations. For instance, LEDs are great for hard to reach areas, such as high ceilings. LED canned lights are where Lechtenberg sees the biggest benefit of the technology; those lights can run from $40 to $85.

The biggest paybacks on LEDs are for those who are going to live in their homes for a long time or in commercial settings, Lechtenberg said. He wouldn’t recommended it for folks who plan to stay in their home for only a year or two.

had about CFLs over the years.

According to testing by Consumer Reports, LEDs do a better job than CFLs of dimming lights and reaching full brightness when turned on.

Right now the dimming range of CFLs really comes in high, medium and low, said Grant Lechtenberg, owner of Electric Supply Lighting.

Whereas LEDs have “infinite dimming,” he said.

LEDs also come on almost instantly, taking about half a second to reach their full brightness. On the other hand, CFLs can take up to 30 seconds to a minute to get to full brightness.

“That’s where LEDs have CFLs beat hands down,” Lechtenberg said.

As for the quality of the light, reviews are mixed.

Some claim that LEDs more

century) we declared our independence, and five times we lost it.” Yushchenko said.

“And the reason was only one — outside occupation.”

As he was recruited into his country’s political realm from the banking sector in the late 1990s, Yushchenko grew out of favor with government leaders as prime minister and became opposition leader. His opposition party, Our Ukraine, was victorious in the 2000 parliamentary elections.

“I think that through these efforts we came to chart a really new course for the country that brought us close to the motivation, and we really were inspired to part ways,” he said, “to say good-bye to the past, to the Soviet past.”

Yushchenko was poisoned in an apparent assassination attempt during his 2004 campaign for the presidency, but he persevered. And the world watched as Ukrainians protested results of a runoff election in which Yanukovych was declared the winner. The country’s Supreme Court later invalidated the result due to widespread fraud, and Yushchenko eventually won the presidency in the next round.

But as Yushchenko praised the peaceful and enthusiastic protests, he also mentioned the importance of negotiating with his opponents. Democracy will give us an answer how to find a way out of this situation, he remembers telling his friends at the time.

closely mimic that warm, soft yellow glow of an incandescent bulb. Yet, CFL technology has come a long way from that harsh white light that made them so detested by some early on. Ritchie argues that LEDs put out a higher quality light.

“When it says a warm light, that is what you are going to get,” he said.

Better value?

According to consumer reports, compared with incandescent lights, CFLs pay for themselves within a year while LEDs take four to 10 years.

It’s hard to beat the CFL when comparing its cost and the amount of energy it takes to produce light, Lechtenberg said. But Ritchie urged consumers to keep in mind that

Still it came at a price.

“I gave away a lion’s share of presidential power to the prime minister and the parliament,” he said. “And in exchange the other party recognized as unconstitutional the results of the runoff elections. A second runoff was held.”

He lamented that parliament did not take up many of his major proposals for reform, including for Ukraine’s judiciary and law enforcement, and said the country still has work to do.

“I think it is very important to have a nice structure to defend and to safeguard democracy,” he said.

Secretary ‘proud’ of SRS office agreements Siedlecki criticized for taking credit for reaching out to communities

TOPEKA — Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. said Monday that decisions by communities, such as Lawrence, to pay to keep open the local SRS office represent “the essence of local control.”

Talking to the House-Senate Health Policy Oversight Committee, Siedlecki also said he wouldn’t recommend any more office closures.

He said of nine SRS offices that he targeted on July 1 for closure, SRS reached agreements with five communities to keep the offices open for at least two years.

“I believe that allowing local communities to decide they want to preserve at their own expense an office that the state Siedlecki can no longer afford to maintain represents the essence of local control, and I am proud of the agreements,” he said.

The five that avoided closure were in Lawrence, Fort Scott,

Violent crime dropped 6 percent in 2010, marking the fourth straight year-to-year decline, while property crime was down for the eighth straight year, falling 2.7 percent, the FBI said Monday, referring to crimes reported to authorities.

Nationwide, there were an estimated 1.2 million violent crimes in 2010 and an estimated 9 million property crimes.

The rate for murder and non-negligent manslaughter fell to 4.8 per 100,000 population, less than half what it was two decades ago. The last time that rate was lower was in 1963, according to FBI crime data.

An aging population, better policing and continued high rates of imprisonment for criminals are helping to drive down crime rates, criminologists say.

Floods displace more than 1.8M Flood victims camped out near inundated fields and crowded hospitals on Monday as authorities and international aid groups struggled to respond to Pakistan’s second major bout of flooding in just over a year.

Monsoon rains since early August have killed more than 220 people, damaged or destroyed some 665,000 homes and displaced more than 1.8 million people in the southern Sindh province, according to the government and the United Nations, which Sunday made an emergency appeal for funding.

The road is the highest stretch of land in the area, and on either side the floods stretch for miles.

Sindh saw similar scenes during last year’s floods, which at their peak affected all four of the country’s provinces and triggered a massive international aid response. While some districts in the region have been flooded out twice, many of the hardest-hit towns and villagers this year were unaffected in 2010.

Killer’s detention, isolation extended Confessed mass killer Anders Behring Breivik was ordered to remain in pretrial detention for eight weeks Monday during a closed court hearing in which he was cut off from making statements irrelevant to the case, a judge said.

The 32-year-old right-wing extremist has confessed to setting off a bomb in downtown Oslo and massacring dozens at an island youth camp outside the city, killing 77 people on July 22.

The Oslo District Court approved a police request to keep Breivik in custody on terror charges for another eight weeks — four of them in solitary confinement — as they prepare a formal indictment.

Study: Vaccine loses effectiveness The whooping cough vaccine given to babies and toddlers loses much of its effectiveness after just three years — a lot faster than doctors believed — and that could help explain a recent series of outbreaks in the U.S. among children who were fully vaccinated, a study suggests.

The study is small and preliminary, and its authors said the reHEALTH sults need to be confirmed through more research. Nevertheless, the findings are likely to stir debate about whether children should get a booster shot earlier than now recommended.

As far as coordinators, Reitz, a physician, said that’s what doctors are paid to do.

“I don’t think these are new ideas, and they’re not saving any money,” Reitz said to Colyer.

Colyer also outlined the reasons Brownback rejected the $31.5 million grant, which the governor had earlier supported.

The “early innovator” grant was to be used to implement a health insurance exchange, which would be a one-stop market for hundreds of thousands of Kansans to purchase coverage and receive subsidies if they qualified. It is required under the ACA to be in place by 2014.

Colyer said the Brownback administration would not implement the exchange until the U.S. Supreme Court had decided whether the ACA was

Brownback health decisions get legislative scrutiny

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback’s health care policies came under fire from members of his own party on Monday.

State Sen. Roger Reitz, R-Manhattan, said he wasn’t impressed with Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer’s presentation Brownback on ways to reduce Medicaid expenses.

And state Sen. Pete Brungardt, R-Salina, said he didn’t understand Brownback’s decision to return a $31.5 million federal grant to build a health insurance exchange under the Affordable Care Act, or ACA. Several Republicans, however, rallied to Colyer’s support as he stood before the House-Senate Health Policy Oversight Committee for nearly two hours talk-

ing about two major health care issues facing Kansas: increasing costs of Medicaid and changes to the insurance landscape that will come under the ACA. Colyer said the state must get control of Medicaid costs, which he said have increased 400 percent in the past 20 years.

“The current costs are going to overColyer whelm Kansas,” he said.

Colyer did not reveal what the Brownback administration will recommended to the Legislature, but he said many states are heading toward a managed care system for Medicaid with coordinators assigned to take care of patients with the highest medical needs.

Reitz said if the state tries to cut Medicaid services, “We are going to have people march-

DOUGLAS COUNTY COMMISSION

Pact for water line, tax break to be considered

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

Douglas County commissioners will consider following through on their plans to pay for a new water line serving a new warehouse northwest of Lawrence.

During their meeting at 4 p.m. Wednesday, commissioners will consider approving an agreement they’ve already agreed to in principle: financing the installation of a larger water line along the Farmers’ Turnpike, between East 700 and East 800 roads.

The pipe, to be 6 inches in diameter, will replace one 4 inches in COUNTY diameter COMMISSION and be about 5,000 feet long.

The pipe is necessary to provide enough water for a new warehouse serving Berry Plastics, which has a massive complex at the northern edge of Lawrence for making cups and other plastic products. The warehouse will be at 670 N. 1800 Road.

In February, commissioners agreed to spend $431,000 on incentives to help convince Berry Plastics to build the warehouse, a project expected to generate about a dozen jobs.

Money to pay for the water line would come out of that $431,000.

Commissioners also will consider a request from owners of the former Masonic Temple, 1001 Mass., to create a Neighborhood Revitalization Area in downtown Lawrence. The area would allow Consolidated Properties Inc. to receive a tax rebate that would start at 95 percent in the first year and decline to 10 percent by 10th year.

The money would help defray the costs of upgrading the property for catering and event uses, as proposed by Maceli’s.

Lawrence city commissioners are scheduled to consider the company’s request tonight. County commissioners also are being asked to approve the request because the county also would rebate tax revenues under the agreement.

But Brungardt said rejecting the federal grant “seemed like a huge opportunity to take a pass on.” He said he didn’t understand the philosophy of refusing to deal with the ACA until case law was settled. “We’d have a banana republic here of gigantic proportions instead of the United States of America,” he said, if states simply ignored federal laws.

ous school board formed the working group earlier this year, following up on a recommendation from an earlier advisory group — the Lawrence Elementary School Facility Vision Task Force — that had been formed to envision a system of elementary buildings while being mindful of tight finances.

Board members embraced the task force’s report and followed through with its recommendations by closing Wakarusa Valley School and forming the task force to recommend how — not whether — to consolidate schools.

The working group has nine more meetings scheduled. Among issues on the Oct. 3 agenda is one that members did not have enough time for Monday: whether to form a subcommittee to communicate with the Lawrence school board.

many federal strings attached to the grant and too many regulations. He showed a book to the committee that he said contained 200 pages of proposed regulations for the exchange, including numerous requirements of employers.

And he said that under the exchange, the federal government would determine whether treatments were inappropriate or too costly in end-of-life areas.

“That troubles me greatly,” he said.

State Rep. Peggy Mast, R-Emporia, said she agreed with the steps the Brownback administration had taken.

“I believe that we are on the right track here,” she said.

But Kansas Insurance

Commissioner Sandy Praeger, who has been the top state official monitoring federal health reform, said Colyer’s description of the exchange regulating costs and treatments for end-oflife matters was wrong.

As far as too many strings attached to the grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Praeger, also a Republican, said just the opposite was true.

“Most of the time it has been ‘tell us what you want to do,’” Praeger said of the feds.

Praeger said she is continuing the planning process for the insurance exchange.

Jordan said that thanks to state grant funds for overtime, the agencies plan to conduct a similar enforcement later this semester to be on the lookout for fake IDs and underage drinking. During the spring and fall semesters in 2010, 117 people were cited for 241 different underage drinking and fake ID violations.

“By being out and being

Q:

The traffic patterns were changed along Louisiana Street, allowing only one entrance to Broken Arrow and making the four-way stop at 27th Terrace “exit only” from both Broken Arrow and South Middle schools. Is there any ongoing discussion about reconfiguring the medians — for example, taking them out — on Louisiana, from 27th Street to 28th Place, to allow for separate left-turn lanes to enter Broken Arrow and South? Also, are the ugly yellow no-turn poles at the fourway stop permanent?

A:

David Woosley, traffic engineer for the city of Lawrence, said that the Lawrence school district changed the traffic pattern within the parking lots at Broken Arrow and South Middle schools, making the driveway at 27th Terrace an “exit only.”

That decision, in turn, required the city to block the southbound left-turn lane on Louisiana Street at 27th Terrace, Woosley said.

The materials blocking the lane are considered temporary, he said, until it is determined whether the change has solved the schools’ traffic-flow problems or if additional changes are needed.

Tour offered of medicinal garden All summer, Kansas University students and faculty have been tending a garden that could one day help fight everything from the common cold to cancer.

On Oct. 1, the public will be able to explore that garden as part of a fall garden tour.

Known as the KU Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden, the research area is north of Lawrence and is little more than a year old.

The researchers grow plants native to Kansas with the intent to study them for new herbal products and compounds for pharmaceuticals, pet medicine or cosmetics.

Along with medicinal plants, the research area includes a natural dye garden and the KU Student Farm.

The informal tour, from 10 a.m. to noon, will have students on hand from KU and Haskell Indian Nations University to talk about their research projects. The garden will also have signs for all the plants in the demonstration garden, which includes more than 70 species.

The garden is close to the Lawrence Municipal Airport.

To get there from downtown Lawrence, travel north across the Kansas River bridge and follow U.S. Highway 59 to U.S. Highway 40. Turn east and travel 1.5 miles to East 1600 Road, then turn north and go half a mile to the garden site.

Lenexa family sustains heavy losses in crash

LENEXA (AP) — A 71-yearold Kansas woman has been reported missing while her husband, two sons and a daughter-in-law all are hospitalized with leg injuries requiring amputation after a World War II-era racing plane crashed at a Nevada air show, family members posted on a website providing updates about their conditions.

Sian Hardie, Cherie Elvin of Lenexa student, hasn’t been seen since the Dallas plane crashed at the Reno Air “On demand.”

Races, the Kansas City Star reported Monday, citing her family’s website on Caring Bridge.org, which allows families to post public and private updates about hospitalized loved ones.

Elvin’s husband, Chuck Elvin, was among the dozens of people injured and was being treated at Renown Medical Center, according to the site.

The Elvins’ sons, Bill and Brian Elvin, both of Overland Park, also were being Kenny Petz, treated at Renown. Brian’s student, wife, Linda, was in serious Solomon condition at another hospital “Netflix streaming.” in the Reno area, according to the Star, which was able to view the Elvin family’s CaringBridge site before it was put on restricted access only for people authorized by the family.

Messages seeking comment and permission to access the site were left Monday with Elvin family members.

Bill Elvin’s wife, Rachel Elvin, had earlier posted on the CaringBridge website that all four hospitalized family members had lost part of their right leg but that their recovery prospects were promising, the Star reported.

“All four have lost some part of their right leg either at or above or below the knee,” Rachel Elvin wrote on the website.

“My goal for today is to make sure that with all the visitors in town that we always have at least one of us with each patient,” Rachel Elvin wrote. “Keep those prayers coming.”

Rachel Elvin’s father, Gary Umscheid, told the Star that his daughter and Bill Elvin have three children and that the family attended the air races each year.

“The trauma of dealing with this is going to be very, very difficult,” Umscheid said. He did not immediately return messages from The Associated Press.

Chuck Elvin was the longtime Kansas chairman of USA Wrestling, an amateur wrestling organization for students ages 6 to 18, said Mike Juby, current chairman of the Kansas organization.

Juby told the AP on Monday that Cherie Elvin also had until recently been the organization’s longtime treasurer. He said both Elvins remained active in the organization after leaving their leadership positions.

Proposal calls for the rich to pay higher taxes GOP says plan is class warfare

KEY FEATURES ! $1.5 trillion in new revenue,

By Jim Kuhnhenn Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Drawing clear battle lines for next year’s elections, a combative President Barack Obama on Monday demanded that the richest Americans pay higher taxes to help cut soaring U.S. deficits by more than $3 trillion. He promised to veto any effort by congressional Republicans to cut Medicare benefits for the elderly without raising taxes as well.

“This is not class warfare.

It’s math,” Obama declared, anticipating Republican criticism, which was quick in coming.

“Class warfare isn’t leadership,” House Speaker John Boehner said, in Cincinnati.

Obama’s speech marked a new, confrontational stance toward Republicans after months of cooperation that many Democrats complained produced too many concessions. While the plan stands little chance of passing Congress, its populist pitch is one that the White House believes the public can support.

The Republican reaction

was swift and bluntly dismissive.

“Veto threats, a massive tax hike, phantom savings and punting on entitlement reform is not a recipe for economic or job growth-or even meaningful deficit reduction,” said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. “The good news is that the Joint Committee is taking this issue far more seriously than the White House.”

The president announced his deficit reduction plan in a 20-minute speech from the Rose Garden at the White House. But even as he called for Congress to act and tackle the nation’s escalating debt, he gave greater urgency to his separate, short-term jobs proposal. “I’m ready to sign a bill,” he said. “I’ve got the pens all ready.”

BRIEFLY Dolores Hope dies at age 102 LOS ANGELES — Dolores Hope, the sultry-voiced songstress who was married to Bob Hope for 69 years and sometimes sang on his shows for U.S. troops and on his television specials, has died at age 102.

Hope family spokesman Harlan Boll said Hope died Monday of natural causes at home in Los Angeles. He did not elaborate.

“Both the entertainment world and the church have lost a woman of profound faith, gifted musical talent and dedication,” said Los Angeles Archbishop Jose H. Gomez.

“The death of Dolores Hope leaves a huge void in Southern California.”

Bob Hope died at age 100 on July 27, 2003.

Ziggy creator dies at age 80 CLEVELAND — Tom Wilson Sr., the creator of the hard-luck comic strip character Ziggy, has died, his family said Monday. He was 80.

New government fees pepper Obama deficit plan WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s not just millionaires who’d pay more under President Barack Obama’s latest plan to combat the deficit.

Air travelers, federal workers, military retirees, wealthier Medicare beneficiaries and people taking out new mortgages are among those who would pay more than $130 billion in government revenues raised through new or increased fees.

Airline passengers would see their federal security

fees double from $5 to $10 for a nonstop round-trip flight and triple to $15 by 2017, raising $25 billion over the coming decade.

Federal workers would face an additional 1.2 percentage point deduction from their paychecks to contribute $21 billion more for their pensions over the same period. Military retirees would pay a $200 fee upon turning 65 to have the government pay their out-of-pocket Medicare expenses. They’d also pay

more for nongeneric prescription drugs.

And it’ll cost corporate jet owners a new $100 fee for each flight.

The fees aren’t taxes.

They’re charged to people who use government services or receive benefits such as taxpayer-subsidized health care, and they typically defray the government’s cost of providing a service. The fee on corporate jets and other private passenger planes, for example, would raise about $1 billion a year to help fi-

nance the cost of air traffic control. Recreational fliers won’t have to pay.

Many of Obama’s proposals are retreads from earlier budget proposals, including those submitted by his predecessors. Most have been rejected year after year. Some ideas, like requiring wealthier veterans to pay more for their health care, stir up opposition from powerful interest groups. Others, like the bigger security fee for fliers, seem too close to a ticket tax increase.

Program key to passing free trade deals

By Jim Abrams Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A half-century-old program that helps workers who lose their jobs to foreign trade holds the key to whether Congress may finally approve three long-delayed free trade agreements viewed by both the Obama White House and congressional Republicans as a way to invigorate the economy and create jobs.

It’s a classic Washington trade-off.

Many Democrats don’t like the trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama but are open to votes if Congress extends expired provisions of the Kennedyera Trade Adjustment Assistance program, or TAA.

Republicans are cool to TAA but won’t object as long as the trade deals are completed.

President Barack Obama has often extolled the benefits of the three trade accords originally signed during the George W. Bush administration. But he has refrained from submitting them to Congress until he gets assurances that expanded aid continues for workers who lost their jobs because of trade.

The Senate on Monday took up a routine bill giving poorer countries access to U.S. markets, with the intent to attach the trade adjustment provisions for affected workers to that bill as an amendment. If all goes as planned, the Senate will pass the bill and send it to the House, which would consid-

“

Opening new markets for our farmers, ranchers and businesses will be a major boost to our economy ... ” — Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus er it along with the three free trade accords. The Senate too would vote on the trade deals.

In a sign that a strong majority of senators were on board with this aid-and-trade formula, the Senate voted 84-8 to sidestep the first legislative hurdle to considering the bill for developing countries.

“Opening new markets for

our farmers, ranchers and businesses will be a major boost to our economy and support hundreds of thousands of jobs here at home, but it has to be done in a way that puts American jobs first,” said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, who supports the trade adjustment program.

The program, run by the Labor Department, provides retraining and financial aid to workers who lost or may lose jobs to foreign trade. The Labor Department says the average age of participants is 46, with an average of more than 12 years of experience in a job that may no longer exist. Two-thirds of those eligible for aid are non-union members, according to the agency.

A message for State Employees:

Kelly offers access to more providers.

“Our unmatched provider network is a key reason more State Employees choose Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas.

“You can get the high-quality care you need from the providers you want. That’s because our members have access to 97 percent of all health care providers in our service area, including 99 percent of doctors and hospitals.

Palestinians will submit Creditor talks to continue today U.N. membership request GREECE

By Derek Gatopoulos

Associated Press

By Mohammed Daraghmeh and Tarek El-Tablawy Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS — The Palestinians brushed aside heated Israeli objections and a promised U.S. veto Monday, vowing to submit a letter formally requesting full U.N. membership when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addresses the General Assembly.

As the Palestinians edged closer to seeking statehood recognition from the United Nations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for Abbas to meet with him in New York. The Israel leader said he wanted to resume peace talks, upping the pressure on Abbas and building on the frenzied diplomacy swirling around the Palestinians bid.

Regardless, Abbas said he had not been swayed by what he called “tremendous pressure” to drop the bid for United Nations recognition and instead to resume peace talks with Israel. Senior aides to the Palestinian leader said Abbas was undaunted by threats of punitive measures.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said, however, there was still time to find a solution to the diplomatic crisis.

Clinton told reporters in New York that the U.S. is talking with all sides to defuse the standoff, noting that the week was young and there were still several days to seek compromise.

She joined Netanyahu in calling for new talks and repeated the U.S. position that the only path to a separate state for Palestinians is through negotiations with Israel.

Nabil Shaath, senior aide to Abbas, told The Associated Press that the Palestinian leader informed U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS, BOTTOM, signs a book while surrounded by his advisers before a meeting with United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during the 66th session of the General Assembly at United Nations headquarters on Monday. during their meeting Monday that he would present him with a letter requesting full membership on Friday, ahead of Abbas’ speech to the General Assembly. Abbas also met with French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe and European foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.

Shaath said the secretarygeneral promised to “speed up the discussion of the request.” Earlier in the day, Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian observer to the U.N. said Abbas would submit the request after the speech.

Shaath said last ditch efforts to dissuade the Palestinian president from approaching the Security Council had failed and that offers had fallen short of Palestinian aspirations. He said Palestinians had been threatened with harsh punitive measures but that they had decided to move ahead nonetheless.

The comment appeared to reflect the warnings by some in the U.S. Congress that current and future financial aid to the Palestinian Authority could be in jeopardy if they move ahead with the membership bid.

The push at the world body is the first step to statehood for Palestinians who have for decades complained of being guests in their own land. Although any submission by the Palestinians wait weeks or months for the U.N. action, it has sparked a flurry of diplomatic activity with Mideast mediators scrambling to find a way to draw the two sides back to a negotiating table.

Each side in on-againoff-again Israeli-Palestinian talks have accused the other of being untrustworthy and intransigent participants in the peace process.

ATHENS, GREECE — Greek authorities and international officials were due for more talks today on whether debt inspectors will return to Athens, a key issue that could affect whether the nation gets more bailout funds or defaults on its debts.

As global stocks fell on fears of a Greek default, Athens on Monday struggled to convince officials from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund that the country could meet strict budget targets promised in return for the international cash lifeline.

After a Monday conference call involving Greece’s finance minister ended without a decision on the inspectors, European Commission spokesman Amadeu Altafaj Tardio said another call was set for this evening.

“In the meantime, technical discussions are ongoing

! President Barack Obama said Monday the U.S. Postal Service should be allowed to reduce mail delivery to five days a week to help cut its massive losses.

The Postal Service lost $8.5 billion last year and is facing even more red ink this year as the Internet siphons off large amounts of first-class mail and the weak economy reduces advertising mail.

While the post office has cut more than 100,000 workers in the last few years it needs to cut more, close offices and find other ways to reduce costs to keep operating.

In his economic growth and debt reduction plan unveiled Monday, Obama endorsed the idea of dropping one day of mail delivery — it is expected to be Saturday — and urged other changes in postal operations.

LONDON (AP) — Rupert Murdoch’s company said Monday that it is in advanced compensation talks with the family of a murdered teenager whose phone was hacked by the now-defunct News of the World tabloid.

News International, Murdoch’s British newspaper division, said it hoped to reach agreement soon with the family of 13-year-old Milly Dowler, whose voicemail messages were accessed by scoopseeking journalists after she disappeared in 2002. She was later found murdered.

In a statement, News International said it was “in advanced negotiations with the Dowler family regarding their compensation settlement.”

“No final agreement has yet been reached, but we hope to conclude the discussions as quickly as possible,” it said.

NEW YORK — Netflix Inc. is separating its DVD-bymail business from the online movie streaming service it sees as the future of entertainment consumption.

In announcing the changes, CEO Reed Hastings also apologized to subscribers for the way the company communicated its decision to split the two services, which raised prices for those who want both.

The mail order plan will be renamed “Qwikster.” In a few weeks, Netflix subscribers who want to get DVDs by mail will go to a separate website to access Qwikster.

The streaming business will continue to be called Netflix.

Members who subscribe to both services will have two entries on their credit card statements. Instead of Netflix, the distinctive red envelopes that end up in customers’ mailboxes will now say Qwikster.

It’s a risky gamble. The amount of streaming content the company offers is still far less than the number of DVDs in its catalog.

And competition, from Hulu, Amazon, Coinstar’s Redbox kiosks and other services, is growing. Netflix could even alienate customers further by asking them to now deal with two separate websites and accounts instead of just one.

Netflix separates DVD, streaming businesses

By Barbara Ortutay

creditors threatened to withhold the sixth installment of the rescue package agreed to in May 2010.

They also suspended a review of Greece’s deficit-cutting and reform targets by senior inspectors from the IMF, the ECB and the Commission — collectively known as the “troika” — although a technical team remains in Athens.

That review must be completed before the troika can issue a recommendation on whether Athens should receive the $11 billion sixth installment, without which the country will go bankrupt by mid-October.

in Athens,” he said.

A finance ministry statement said Monday’s twoand-a-half hour discussion was “productive and substantive.”

Following delays by the Socialist government to deliver on promised reforms, Greece’s European eurozone partners and international creditors are stepping up pressure on Athens at the start of a crucial week in Europe’s nearly two-year debt crisis.

When it became obvious earlier this month that there was a more than $2.75 billion, shortfall in the 2011 budget,

the way the company communicated the price changes, but not for the price hike itself.

“I messed up,” the CEO wrote in a blog post Sunday night that was also emailed to subscribers.

The changes come as the company faces increasing scrutiny from customers and shareholders over the decision announced in July to separate its mail order and Internet streaming services into two separate plans. The change raised the prices for users who want both services, by as much as 60 percent for some.

“Our view is with this split of the businesses, we will be better at streaming, and we will be better at DVD by mail,” Hastings wrote.

Last week, Netflix lowered its U.S. subscriber forecast for the third quarter and the former stock market darling’s shares took a beating as a result.

Hastings said he “slid into arrogance based upon past success” when he did not adequately explain the reasons behind the plan separation and effective price hike.

He said the reason is that instant streaming and DVDby-mail are becoming “two quite different businesses, with very different cost structures, different benefits that need to be marketed differently, and we need to let each grow and operate independently.”

A Look at Guy and Carrie Neighbors Guy and Carrie Neighbors are an eye-catching pair. Mr. Neighbors is an athletically built 6’8” black man while Mrs. Neighbors is a slightly built, 5’4” white woman. But the attention they’ve been receiving recently is not due to their visual distinctiveness. Mrs. Neighbors has been convicted of knowingly selling stolen goods at the Yellow House, her and her husband’s second hand store. For this offense she has been sentenced to pay several large fines and serve eight years in a federal prison. (Mrs. Neighbors is appealing her conviction). Mr. Neighbors may soon face comparable charges.

It’s sobering to see Mrs. Neighbors get a stiffer sentence for her excesses than, say, most drunk drivers and many violent criminals do for theirs although members of these two groups sometimes injure and even kill others. During Mrs. Neighbor’s trial no one speaking on her behalf cited any mitigating circumstances. (Black’s Law Dictionary defines a mitigating circumstance as “A fact or situation that does not justify or excuse a wrongful act or offense but that reduces the degree of culpability and thus may reduce... the punishment (in a criminal case).” Here are some mitigating circumstances the appropriate legal authorities should consider when the Neighbors come before them.

1) Prior to the investigation which resulted in Mrs. Neighbors conviction, neither had ever had any trouble with the law.

2) The Neighbors had regularly attended church for 20 years. For two years, Mrs. Neighbors taught Sunday school at the Free Methodist Church and when the Neighbors attended Heartland Community Church they provided services for the youth groups.

3) The Neighbors have three children.

4) The Neighbors often took food to the Drop-in Center and Salvation Army.

5) The Neighbors were active members of the East Heights Parent-Teacher Organization and Mr. Neighbors served as Vice President of the group.

6) The Neighbors were mentors for Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Over a period of nine years, they became an elementary school’s student’s second family and provided her with food, clothing, school fees, driving lessons, a car and her own room at their house.

7) For nine years the Neighbors served as foster parents for some 24 children. A foster parent is required to take 16 hours of training each year to either acquire or retain a foster care license and must undergo a KBI or FBI background check.

For 24 years, the Neighbors have assisted young people and others in need of help. To incarcerate - throw into our overcrowded penal system - either or both of them would be quite expensive and completely nonsensical.

Tulsa time In Tulsa, it was all about the television money.

A

mid the current college athletic conference chaos, there was a timely example this weekend of the need to take a breath and reconsider how television dollars dominate college athletics decisions.

The Oklahoma State University and Tulsa University football teams were scheduled to kick off their game in Tulsa about 9 p.m. Saturday. There is no reason the schools would have chosen such a late start unless they were being influenced by the opportunity to have the game televised. An earlier start would be better for the schools, their fans and, most importantly, the players. However, the overriding factor is what is best for the television network that was willing to broadcast the game.

Even if the game had started on time, it probably wouldn’t have concluded until after midnight. As it was, Mother Nature stepped in with a thunderstorm and lightning that delayed the start of the game and delayed it again. Teams waited, fans waited, the storm finally passed, and officials decided it was safe to start the game — shortly after midnight. The game was not completed until about 3:30 a.m. Sunday — but, by gosh, it was on TV for anyone who wanted to stay up and watch it at that hour.

It’s true that such a storm could have interrupted play earlier in the day, but at least the schools would have had more options to get the game started at a reasonable hour.

If the TV crew hadn’t been on hand, would the schools have considered simply delaying the game until later the next day rather than starting in the middle of the night?

The situation in Tulsa on Saturday was a dramatic example of how the money from television contracts has become the tail that wags the college athletics dog. Where will it end?

U.S. must expedite visas for Iraqi friends In July, I wrote about the plight of Iraqis who worked with U.S. soldiers and civilians but face death as “collaborators” when we leave. Their situation remains unresolved.

Congress set up a special program in 2008 to grant these Iraqis 25,000 special immigrant visas (SIVs) over five years. Only 3,629 have been issued thus far; at least 1,500 are pending. Yet, some Iraqis who have virtually completed the process have been told they must wait an additional eight months for more security checks.

Senior administration officials are working to speed up the process (more about this below). But, as our troops come home and bases close, time is of the essence. Many Iraqi interpreters can no longer remain on bases where they have lived for safety; some SIV applicants are moving from house to house under death threat.

Simple decency — not to mention a moral obligation — demands we get these loyal Iraqis out before we leave their country.

Read some of the emails I’ve received from desperate SIV applicants and you’ll see why: ! “Ma’am: I am writing to tell you about the situation of the Iraqis who helped Americans here in Iraq. I have worked with the U.S. Army as a linguist (translator) for 17 months in Mosul, which is one of the most dangerous places in

Iraq. I have been threatened by terrorists many times because of my job and I lost three members of my family as a result. I’m waiting to get the visa since March 2011.

“It’s very dangerous for me to stay in Iraq; now I can’t see my family, I can’t finish my school, and I can’t have normal life as a human because too much people in Iraq think that everyone who helped the Americans is a traitor and should be killed. Please, if you can tell anyone to find a solution for us, because if the U.S. Army leaves Iraq by end of this year, we are all going to get killed by the militias.” Yours sin-

You can imagine the view of my 15-months son when an explosion happens near our house.

“We Christians are very easy targets for anyone because nobody is defending us. We fear the imminent U.S. troop retreat that will definitely lead to big chaos in Iraq and we will be easy victims.

We are hearing that it is the security check that causes all these delaying, but what security check is taking 11 months without completion?” (Especially since he has a host of relatives who are already American citizens, including his parents, two brothers, two aunts, and two uncles.)

Thank you, also from my wife Basma & Gerard (my little angel).” S. You can read more of these emails on my blog (www.philly. com/worldview). The point they all make is the urgency of the situation.

Senior administration officials tell me they are focused on the visa issue “at the highest level of government.” They say the process has been streamlined, and

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Sept. 20, 1911: “If there are any anarchists in Lawrence or other parties with quesYEARS tionable tendencies, these will all be AGO watched on Sunday morning, SepIN 1911 tember 24, when President Taft stops at Lawrence. In order to protect the president from cranks who may mingle with the throngs, every precaution is taken to see that every suspicious person is kept under surveillance during Mr. Taft’s stay in each place, and in some instances, a list of men of questionable tendencies — especially with anarchistic proclivities — is obtained and these men are either held in restraint until the President has concluded his visit or are constantly watched by detectives.”

Sometimes we just don’t appreciate what we have until someone else wants to take it away.

PUBLIC FORUM

Trash fees too high To the editor: I moved to Lawrence a little over a month ago and just received my first utility bill (water/sewer/trash). I’m shocked. For a one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment occupied by one person, my bill is $50.37. This is triple what my Overland Park apartment cost for the same basic services. I think what appalls me the most is the $14.75 trash fee. I throw away one medium-sized bag of trash every 10 days because I recycle. That means it costs me approximately $5 per bag of trash.

Where’s the incentive to recycle, Lawrence?

Why is one person living in an apartment paying almost $15 a month for trash pickup? The waste management company comes to the small apartment complex once a week, empties one Dumpster and then leaves. It is not having to go door-to-door to pick up trash. It is not having to make 60 stops for the 60 different apartments. The trash fee is too high for the service that is provided. There needs to be a sliding scale or a reconsideration of the base fee.

OLD HOME TOWN

Missile would be missed ocal residents may not be that attached to the Polaris missile in Lawrence’s Centennial Park, but if the Kansas Cosmosphere wants the missile, it suddenly could become a much more important part of the city’s landscape.

City commissioners are scheduled to officially accept a letter tonight from the Cosmosphere seeking to obtain the missile for a new rocket and aircraft park in Hutchinson. Really? Who knew the Lawrence rocket was an important artifact that someone else would want?

At least initially, city officials seemed cool to the idea of giving up the submarinelaunched rocket that was donated by the Lawrence Navy League in 1964 as a tribute to members of the U.S. military who served during the Cold War. In fact, City Manager David Corliss said the city probably would do some research on the missile to make sure its story is being adequately told.

Local residents may owe the Cosmosphere a debt of thanks for raising the city’s awareness of the missile and the reason for its donation. It’s not exactly Lawrence’s most prominent landmark, but it could have an important story to tell.

personnel shifted to speed the additional security checks.

“We are working through the current backlog with a serious sense of urgency,” one official told me. “We don’t anticipate this will take eight months.” He said there were procedures in place to expedite particularly urgent cases.

“We know that the United States has a special responsibility to Iraqis who worked on our behalf.”

However, none of the desperate Iraqis who’ve contacted me since July has had an update about their visas. One who tried to expedite his case was told, again, he’d have to wait several months. That’s a potential death sentence. We have to rescue these Iraqis. And there’s a precedent. In 1996, the United States evacuated 6,000 endangered Iraqi opposition activists from northern Iraq to Guam, then did security checks there. The British and Danes evacuated their Iraqi staff when they left southern Iraq.

Might we do the same?

“There is no plan to institute a mass evacuation,” a senior administration official told me. But if our bureaucracy can’t get the SIV backlog cleared before our troops leave, we must get those Iraqis out. There’s only four months left. I say: Start planning the evacuation now.

Mistrust hampers European economy WASHINGTON — Global financial markets depend on trust.

So it wasn’t a good sign when Laurence Parisot, the head of the French business federation known as “Medef,” last month charged that reports about the weakness of French banks were an American plot.

“There has been a kind of psychological warfare and an attempt to destabilize the euro area,” an indignant Parisot told Le Figaro on Aug. 28. “Our banks are among the strongest in the world.”

If only France’s problems — and those of the eurozone as a whole — were as simple as an AngloSaxon conspiracy. Since Parisot’s unfortunate comment, the real weaknesses of French banks have become obvious. Last Tuesday, Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Societe Generale and Credit Agricole, two of France’s biggest banks, and kept a third giant, BNP Paribas, under review.

What’s been scary about this latest chapter of the European financial crisis is that it has revived the panicky “bank run” psychology of September 2008.

Big financial institutions have begun to doubt each other, and to mistrust the promises of other banks about what’s on their books. Sadly, this has been especially true of French banks.

The early stages of this bank

run (like the machinations of 2008) have mostly been invisible to the public. But since last month, major institutions have been pulling out of the “interbank” market that offers the overnight or shortterm loans that keep the system liquid. According to David Smick, a leading global economic strategist, U.S. money-market funds stopped parking their cash with some European banks a few weeks ago. Early this month, the European Central Bank had to take over, in effect, as the interbank lender, Smick says.

As in the 2008 financial crisis, authorities have been issuing daily promises that the system is solvent and has enough liquidity to keep from freezing up. But the eurozone lacks a credible voice of reassurance that’s equivalent to the Fed or the U.S. Treasury.

That’s the import of Thursday’s announcement, coordinated with the Fed, that the ECB will allow

European banks to borrow dollars.

In effect, the U.S. is becoming a provider of liquidity of last resort.

If anyone doubted that America is still the prime mover in the global economy, last week’s moves should be reassuring.

The buck stops here, so to speak.

What made global investors so nervous about French banks?

Here are some reasons: One veteran analyst estimates that French bank holdings of debt from the shaky economies of Italy and Spain amount to 390 billion euros, or $540 billion at current exchange rates; he reckons that total French claims on the weak or insolvent eurozone periphery countries are 640 billion euros, or $886 billion. The planned euro bailout fund, by comparison, is 440 billion euros, or $609 billion.

One prominent U.S. investor got nervous when he began analyzing the balance sheets of big French banks. He noted that French banks maintain far smaller buffers of capital than do big American banks to protect against loan losses. And analysts fear that the liquidity of some French banks may be about half what was recommended last December by the Bank for International Settlements.

In this climate of suspicion and mistrust, there’s a chance for what Smick calls “deglobalization” — as investors re-

treat toward assets and trading partners they know. Here again, the international stature of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner helps maintain enough trust to keep a dispersed, global system from freezing up.

To get a handle on the broader problem of Europe, consider this comment made on CNBC by Barry Sternlicht, chief executive of Starwood Capital Group: “Think of Europe as General Motors,” he said. It’s a big industrial giant that has made promises to its unionized workforce that it can’t afford.

Each European worker is carrying too many retirees on his back. As with GM, it will take many years to strike a new balance — to organize what amounts to a managed bankruptcy for the eurozone and the beginnings of a recapitalization.

This past month reminded investors what panic feels like.

Much of America’s angst has been focused inward, appropriately enough, on our own economic and political problems. But frankly, the U.S. has it easy compared with Europe, where true stabilization is going to mean rewriting the premises of European unity, and the social contract itself.

Leavenworth man dies at Grand Canyon

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, ARIZ. (AP) — The National Park Service says a Kansas man has died during a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon.

Participants on a river trip Sunday reported by satellite phone that two men had been washed out their boat at Lava Falls on the Colorado River.

One man made it to safety, while a second man, identified as 64-year-old Gary Aus of Leavenworth, Kan., was swept downriver.

The National Park Service and Coconino County Medical Examiner are conducting an investigation.

WICHITA (AP) — A disbarred Wichita attorney convicted of embezzling more than $300,000 from military veterans whose funds she administered has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.

CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

OU, UT better off in Big 12 The New York Times, not claiming to have conducted a scientific study, used various data to calculate an estimate on the size of each of the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision schools fan bases.

Reading the compelling results confirms the belief of any sane, unbiased spectator of the conference realignment mosh pit: Texas and Oklahoma are better off staying together in the Big 12 than they would be departing together to form a Pac-16.

According to the estimates made by the Times, the Big 12 has seven of the biggest 41 football fan bases, six if Texas A&M is subtracted: 5. Texas, 6. Texas A&M, 19. Oklahoma, 23. Missouri, 33. Texas Tech, 40. Kansas, 41. Oklahoma State.

The Pac-12 has three ranked in the top 41: 17. USC, 25. UCLA, 31. California.

Staying in the Big 12 means better rivalries and more sensible travel for OU and UT student-athletes and fans. It also would mean being in a conference that has two-thirds of its members in the top 41 largest fan bases. Why defect to a conference that would have 44 percent in the top 41?

Remember, when Oklahoma and Texas met to discuss ways to keep the Big 12 together, they couldn’t agree on how to share revenue, so they’re going to move halfway across the country to be in a conference together there? Move from a football-crazed region to one considerably more laid-back about college football? On what planet does this makes sense?

The Longhorns swing a bigger bat in the Big 12 than they could in any other conference.

So surrender a little of the power and revenue share to Oklahoma, and the Longhorns and Sooners can swing their big bats together in the Big 12.

Fantasies of the Big 12 staying together hinge on Texas and Oklahoma realizing that once the honeymoon of heading west wears off, they’ll pine for the good old days of Big 12 football.

The Pac-12 also could help the Big 12 stay together by refusing to let Oklahoma State and Texas Tech in.

It’s interesting that Connecticut, very public about its desire to join the ACC, hasn’t been invited yet. Neither has Rutgers.

Might the ACC be waiting for Texas to find a permanent landing spot, and could Texas insist on bringing Kansas with it?

In the world of last-minute flights, anything’s possible, even Texas and Notre Dame expanding the Big Ten. Just in case, the Big East and Big 12 already have started merger discussions.

And isn’t it interesting that the Longhorn Network, identified by some as the No. 1 culprit in Big 12 chaos, has gained so little traction that a move to the Pac-12 could mean the network downsizes to just another regional network. So little traction, yet such a remarkably destructive force for so many people in so many states, people now in such an angry emotional state.

Fans and student-athletes lose if the Big 12 blows up. The biggest winner? Attorneys. Lawsuits could fly from Ames to Waco.

UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESIDENT BILL POWERS, SECOND FROM RIGHT, AND CHANCELLOR FRANCISCO CIGARROA, SECOND FROM LEFT, TAKE part in a teleconference with the University System Board of Regents to discuss conference realignment Monday in Austin, Texas. The board voted unanimously to give Powers the authority to move Texas from the Big 12 to another conference.

Oklahoma, Texas regents give presidents authority to leave Big 12 The Associated Press

Oklahoma cleared the way Monday for its possible departure from the Big 12, with university president David Boren demanding the league move toward an equal revenue-sharing model and create stability or else lose the Sooners to the Pac-12.

Rival Texas also moved closer to the door, raising the prospect that one of the nation’s biggest conferences could lose its two richest, most powerful programs.

After being granted the power to choose a new conference home for the Sooners, Boren said he is focused on only two options: a fractured Big 12 that isn’t currently suitable, or the expanding Pac12, which already claimed Oklahoma’s conference rival, Colorado, last summer.

“The status quo is certainly not stable,” Boren said. “That’s one of the things we’re weighing: Can it be made stable?”

KANSAS REGENTS TO MEET THURSDAY State education officials will meet Thursday to discuss conference realignment and how it will affect Kansas and Kansas State.

See story on page 2A

Texas counterpart Bill Powers, granted similar decision-making power by his regents less than an hour later, said he would consider options “including continued participation in the Big 12,” but made no mention of the Pac-12, the ACC or any other potential destinations.

The Big 12 has moved to the brink of extinction just one summer after the remaining 10 members pledged to stick together, then hammered out a $1.2 billion television contract. They decided

not to create a conference network similar to the ones in place by the Big Ten and Pac-12, not to split revenue equally and not to create any barriers to Texas’ creation of the Longhorn Network through a 20year, $300 million agreement with ESPN that proved to be divisive.

“I would simply say it is not a strong vote of confidence in the conference office that this has happened in such a short period of time,” Boren said.

Texas A&M has already said it plans to leave the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference by July if legal issues can be addressed.

If Oklahoma leaves, so will Oklahoma State.

“Whatever we do, we’re going to do it together, and I think that’s very good news for the state of Oklahoma,” Boren said, adding that he speaks daily with Oklahoma State president Burns Hargis.

Oklahoma State’s regents have called a special meeting on the topic Wednesday.

“Oklahoma State has attractive options and we are working with our colleagues at the University of Oklahoma to make sure the best interests of both institutions and our state are achieved,” Hargis added.

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe said in a statement that the conference is “assuring our members that maintaining the Big 12 is in the best interest for their institutions.”

“It is my opinion that the case for the Big 12 Conference continues to be as strong today for all of our current members as it was last year, especially considering the welfare of those to whom we owe the greatest responsibility — the student-athletes,” Beebe said.

Boren has previously said he would consider the league a better option if it expanded back to 12 teams, and he said Monday that Please see BIG 12, page 3B

Prep star Perry Ellis to announce college choice on Wednesday

WICHITA HEIGHTS SENIOR PERRY ELLIS, LEFT, BACKS down his man in the Jayhawk Invitational Tournament on April 29 at Haskell. Ellis, a top-25 recruit in the class of 2012, has Kansas as one of four top schools.

Wichita Heights senior bluechip basketball forward Perry Ellis will orally commit to Kansas University, Kansas State, Wichita State or Kentucky at a 2:45 p.m. assembly Wednesday in the Heights gymnasium.

The 6-foot-8, 220-pound Ellis — who has been a target of college coaches since the eighth grade when he was featured in Sports Illustrated — recently had in-home visits with coaches of his four finalists. He has made unofficial recruiting trips to all four schools.

“We enjoyed this process, but I think because he was recruited at such a young age, we are ready to go to the next step and have him decide, and then we move on to the senior season and then go off to college,” Ellis’ mom, Fonda, said Monday night. “We’ve done a lot of traveling the last two years. We’ve been to the campuses a lot. Every time we visited a school, he either went to class or a game or saw practice or took tours of the facilities. We did all that. He didn’t think he needed to do that again. He’s decided to decide and then take one official visit to the school he picked.”

Ellis, a three-time Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year and Rivals.com’s No. 24-rated player nationally, has led Heights to three-straight state titles.

“It’s an exciting time,” Fonda Ellis said, noting no final decision has been reached. “Well, he is still sleeping on it, but all the schools are still working hard.

We have not notified any of the coaches. They all are in the same position at this point because they are all still working.

“We had coach Manning (Danny, KU) come today. We think a couple coaches are

Chiefs suffer another loss: Charles KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The season is over for Jamaal Charles.

The All-Pro running back will go on injured reserve with a left knee injury, leaving the winless Kansas City Chiefs without their best offensive player.

Charles, the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second leading rusher last season, suffered the injury after taking an awkward step finishing off a run in the first quarter of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 48-3 loss to the Detroit Lions.

Charles had an MRI exam Monday, and Chiefs coach Todd Haley said he would join tight end Tony Moeaki and Pro Bowl safety Eric Berry on injured reserve. Moeaki tore his left ACL in Kansas Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason finale against Green Bay, while Berry tore his left ACL in a 41-7 season-opening loss to Buffalo.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Injuries are part of the game,â&#x20AC;?

Haley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes through preparation, sometimes just through freak happenings, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a little of each.â&#x20AC;?

The Chiefs are off to one of the worst starts in NFL history, getting outscored 89-10 by a pair of teams that combined to win 10 games last season. The miserable start has caused talk radio shows to light up with calls for Haley and general manager Scott Pioli to be fired, even though the franchise is coming off a surprising 10-6 season in which it won the AFC West title.

The Kansas City offense has turned the ball over nine times and is averaging 240 yards per game, 30th of 32 teams in the NFL. The defense has been just as bad,

Stewart wins rain-delayed Chase opener JOLIET, ILL. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tony Stewart took himself out of title contention before the opening race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

A topsy-turvy season led the two-time NASCAR champion to cross his name off the list of drivers he believes are legitimate title contenders, and nothing he did on track at Chicagoland Speedway changed his mind.

That includes winning.

Stewart picked up his first win of the season Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a day after rain Stewart washed out the opening round of the 10-race Chase â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by flawlessly conserving fuel to the finish. The victory, his 40th career win in the Cup Series, tied him with Mark Martin for 16th on the all-time wins list.

More importantly, it vaulted him from ninth in the standings to second, and he trails leader Kevin Harvick by a mere seven points.

So, Smoke, you sure you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the mix for a third NASCAR championship? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the whole season,â&#x20AC;? he said.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Steve Spagnuolo and the St. Louis Rams came to the Meadowlands bearing gifts and the New York Giants readily accepted them.

Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes and linebacker Michael Boley scored on a 65-yard fumble return to lead New York to a 28-16 victory over the mistake-prone Rams on Monday night in the first matchup between Giants coach Tom Coughlin and Spagnuolo, his former defensive coordinator.

This one was ugly with mistakes by the Rams (0-2) giving New York (1-1) a crucial win after a disappointing loss to Washington in the season opener.

All four of New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touchdowns resulted directly from St. Louis mistakes.

Manning hit Hakeem Nicks with a threeyard TD pass after a muffed punt and Domenik Hixon made a spectacular juggling grab on a 22-yard score after a busted coverage late in the first half.

Manning finished 18 of 29 for 200 yards and one interception.

Sam Bradford threw a touchdown pass and Josh Brown kicked three short field goals for the Rams, who moved up and down the field except in the red zone.

Bradford, who was 22-of-46 for 331 yards, might have made the biggest mistakes, throwing a pass backward and seeing Boley run it into the end zone.

It was that kind of night for the Rams.

The Rams killed themselves in the red zone. They settled for three short field goals after drives stalled inside the Giants 10, with the first coming after they got a first-and-goal at the one following a 68yard catch and run by Danario Alexander, who had three catches for 122 yards.

New York built a 21-6 halftime lead and was never threatened again.

After Manning threw an interception deep in Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; territory on the opening drive, the Giants looked lost for a couple of minutes, until the Rams woke them up with their first big mistake.

It resulted because St. Louis was without regular punt returner Danny Amendola.

Greg Salas took his place and muffed Steve Weatherfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s punt with Dave Tollefson recovering at the 38.

Nicks, who was questionable for the game due to a bruised knee, put New York ahead with the three-yard TD catch. The score came after New York got a first down at the Ramsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nine after Bradley Fletcher was called for pass interference against Nicks.

SUMMARY

allowing nearly 390 yards and a point total exactly four touchdowns more than the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-worst defense.

Haley vowed that the Chiefs would keep working to turn things around, but that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy after losing arguably three of their five best players to seasonending injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You hate to see any of your teammates, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jamaal, Eric Berry, Tony Moeaki, any one of those guys go down, because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just teammates, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re friends,â&#x20AC;? running back Thomas Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You hate to see a guy that works as hard as Jamaal go down like that.â&#x20AC;?

Falcons CB fined for hit NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Dunta Robinson will pay for his flagrant hit on the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jeremy Maclin.

He wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be suspended.

The NFL on Monday fined the Falcons cornerback $40,000 for the hit in which he led with his helmet and crashed into Maclin in the third quarter of Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 35-31 win over Philadelphia on Sunday night. Robinson was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness.

The league did not suspend Robinson although it has said hits like the one he put on Maclin could lead to such action. Robinson is a repeat offender, having being fined $25,000 last year for a similar hit on the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; DeSean Jackson that left both players with concussions.

Romo plays with rib fracture SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo fractured a rib in the first half of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against San Francisco but returned for the final drive of the third quarter with his team trailing 21-14.

Romo came back moments after the team announced he had a broken rib and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return. He was clearly uncomfortable, grimacing at times.

Jon Kitna replaced him at the start of the third quarter, throwing two interceptions and a 5-yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin.

Bengals receiver tears ACL CINCINNATI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Bengals slot receiver Jordan Shipley has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, ending his season.

The injury was diagnosed on Monday. He was placed on the injured reserve list. The Bengals (1-1) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately replace him on the roster.

Shipleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee was hit during the Bengalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 24-22 loss in Denver on Sunday. He caught three passes for 15 yards.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

UNC offers to vacate 16 wins CHAPEL HILL, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina will vacate all 16 football victories from the 2008 and 2009 seasons, and reduce scholarships as part of self-imposed penalties following an NCAA investigation into the program.

The school also put the football program on two years of probation as a result of the probe into athletes accepting improper benefits and academic misconduct.

In Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice of allegations outlining nine violations, the school said it will cut three scholarships for each of the next three academic years. The school will also pay a $50,000 fine, though it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imposing a postseason ban.

The school still must appear before the NCAA infractions committee on Oct. 28 and await word whether the university will face additional penalties from the NCAA. Athletic director Dick Baddour said the school reviewed similar cases from the past decade before deciding on the penalties.

NCAA sends S. Carolina letter CLINTON, S.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The NCAA has sent South Carolina a notice of allegations to university President Harris Pastides. The NCAA letter received Monday says 12 athletes in football and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track received an extra benefit of $47,000 for staying at a local hotel for a reduced rate. The NCAA also says officials with the Student Athlete Mentoring Foundation provided $8,000 worth of impermissible benefits and inducements for athletes and prospects.

KENDALL PRITCHARD, LAWRENCE HIGH’S NO. 2 SINGLES PLAYER, COMPETES during a Lawrence High quad Monday at LHS.

Lawrence High players use tough match-ups to improve

By Corey Thibodeaux cthibodeaux@ljworld.com

Several weeks into the season, Lawrence High’s tennis team is still trying to find where each player ranks.

Coach Chris Marshall is doing a lot of mixing and matching on the roster so that girls play at different spots in different meets. It’s his way of learning about his team while making it better.

“From where we started — not winning a singles match at the beginning of the season — we’ve come a long way,” Marshall said.

At Monday’s quad at the Lawrence Tennis Center, the Lions’ only victories came from freshmen Kendall Pritchard and Chloe Clement in their respective singles matches.

Clement played two matches at different ranks, which demonstrated how the undefined roster affects players. Playing as the No. 1 singles player, she was up

better revenue sharing must also be in place for the Sooners to stick around.

“Our goal is to be an equal partner in any network, and we think it ought to be the goal of every other member of any conference that we’re a part of to be an equal member of that conference,” Boren said.

“We all ought to value each other — every single member of that conference — and none of us should seek to play a stronger leadership role than anyone else.”

Texas’ regents met privately by telephone before approving a motion that still

coming tomorrow to Heights.

They (coaches) are not done yet. They are fighting until the end.”

Fonda said nobody would know the final decision until the assembly. !

Goodwin cuts KU, UConn: Archie Goodwin, a 6-4 senior guard from Sylvan Heights High in Little Rock, Ark., announced on Twitter on Monday that he’d canceled upcoming visits to Kansas and UConn.

“Both are very great schools but I’m going to drop them from my list,” said Rivals. com’s No. 12-rated recruit, who has a final three of Arkansas, Kentucky and Memphis.

He had originally planned on attending Saturday’s Legend of the Phog exhibition game in Allen Fieldhouse.

5-2 in the first match against Shawnee Mission Northwest’s No. 1, Carley Olson.

Olson came back and won the match, 8-6.

In her next singles match, Clement played as the No. 2 singles player and beat Blue Valley West’s No. 2 player, 8-0.

“I got down on myself after the first game, and so I just turned around and came in positive,” Clement said. “I think that made a difference, and I took each point one at a time.”

Finding lessons in defeat, Clement said that girls who play the top players on opposing teams are getting better. That also makes it harder to keep a consistent roster.

“Spots are changing because people are improving,” Clement said.

The Lions are gradually improving, Marshall said, but it’s hard to show when they play against experienced competition, such as on Monday. But that competition will

ultimately show how good they will become.

“The quality of your opponent will determine a lot of your success,” Marshall said.

Overall, LHS finished behind the other three schools: Shawnee Mission West, Shawnee Mission Northwest and Blue Valley West. It was the second consecutive Monday match for the Lions, and Marshall would prefer to play another day.

“I just don’t like Mondays,” he said.

The team normally practices during the week, preparing for the event. Then the weekend comes, people lose focus and anything can happen, Marshall said. The best time for matches is Tuesday to Thursday.

“But this is the schedule I inherited, and this is what I have to make work,” Marshall said, “so we do what we can.”

LHS will play host to Manhattan High at 3 p.m. Thursday.

would require any move executed by Powers to be submitted to the regents for final approval. After the vote, Powers said only that the process is “ongoing” and left without further comment.

Boren said the schools are “always stronger when Texas and Oklahoma move together” but it’s possible the two could part ways.

“We have different perspectives,” Boren said. “I would put it this way: We’re listening with respect to each other at this point in time, but it’s too early to tell whether we’ll make a common decision or not.”

Texas officials have said they want the Big 12 to hold together but would keep “all options” open for the university, including reported discussions with the Pac-12 and ACC. But Texas has little ap-

petite for a Big 12 without rival Oklahoma or Texas A&M. “Last time everybody talked about where everybody was going, we ended up staying in the same place,” Longhorns coach Mack Brown said. “So my thoughts have always been the same: I think the University of Texas wants to stay in the Big 12.”

Texas Tech president Guy Bailey said it’s a sensitive time and “any comments regarding Tech’s plans are premature at this time.” Tech’s regents are not scheduled to meet until next month.

Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott has said his league is not necessarily looking to expand, and some university leaders have expressed concerns about expanding again after adding Utah and Colorado this year.

school history, Kansas University’s football team laced up the cleats and got back to work quickly despite not having a game to prepare for this week.

With the bye week coming at the break between nonconference play and the start of the Big 12 season, the 2-1 Jayhawks figure to focus on a several different aspects this week.

Getting healthy, licking the emotional wounds that came with the 66-24 pounding at Georgia Tech last weekend and looking ahead to the Oct. 1 match-up with Texas Tech all will take place. But the Jayhawks also will spend a fair amount of time on selfexamination.

“You focus on yourself as far as what we need to do to improve,” KU coach Turner Gill said Monday. “I think that’s not going to be a problem. I saw (Sunday) as we had a light workout, our guys were really energetic and ready to go and ready to get coached. They said, ‘Let’s go, coach, we’re ready to get taught and get better.’

They were eager and ready to go, and that was a good approach by our players and our coaching staff. We’ll be an improved football team,

— Kansas football coach Turner Gill and we’ll have a better showing against Texas Tech.”

After taking Monday off, as they do every week, Gill said the Jayhawks would practice today, Wednesday and Thursday this week before taking Friday and Saturday off, as well. After that, they’ll jump back in on Sunday and start normal game preparations for the homecoming contest against Texas Tech. Typically, players and coaches say they want to get back onto the field immediately after a loss like the one the Jayhawks suffered in Georgia. But Gill said Monday the team was fine with the week off.

“It’s good timing for us, with regard to a few little injuries,” he said. “But also to get things going in a little bit smoother way on offense, defense and special teams. We’ll add a few more things and try to continue to improve.

We’re just going to keep getting better. We definitely know that our football team has improved from last football season, so that is a big positive the way I look at it.

Our kids are very excited to move on and get better.”

KU-TT kickoff set for 11 a.m.

Fox Sports Net announced Monday that it would televise KU’s homecoming game against Texas Tech at 11 a.m. on Oct. 1.

The game will be KU’s second straight on FSN and third televised game of the season. Kansas lost, 66-24, at Georgia Tech on FSN in its last outing and defeated Northern Illinois, 45-42, on Fox College Sports on Sept.

10.

In honor of homecoming, it has been rumored that KU will wear its light blue throwback uniforms for the game against the Red Raiders.

Texas Tech (2-0) will play host to Nevada on Saturday.

Georgia Tech cracks Top 25 Evidently, Georgia Tech’s whipping of Kansas impressed the pollsters.

After setting multiple school records for offense and running up 66 points on the Jayhawks, the Yellow Jackets were rewarded with a spot in this week’s Top 25 in both major polls.

One week after receiving single-digit vote totals in both polls, GT (3-0) jumped all the way to 25th in the AP poll and 24th in the coaches’ poll.

The Yellow Jackets open ACC play this weekend with a home game against North Carolina.

BRIEFLY Kansas men’s golf ends day in fourth Kansas University golfer Paul Harris tied for seventh overall and finished five shots back of the leader after the first two rounds of the Kansas Invitational Monday at Alvamar Golf Club.

The Kansas men’s golf team is in fourth place, despite shooting poorly in the morning round. The Jayhawks finished

the day 12-over par after a successful afternoon round and sit seven shots behind tournament leader LouisianaLafayette.

Harris, a junior who is playing his first year at Kansas, shot a 1-over 73 and a par 72, his first even-par round as a Jayhawk.

Other Jayhawks at the tournament included Alex Gutesha, who tied for ninth after shooting two rounds of 72,

and Chris Gilbert, who tied for 22nd place after shooting a first-round 78 and a team-low second round of 71.

Kansas coach Kit Grove said he thinks his team can catch the leaders if it carries over some of the late-round success from Monday into today.

The Kansas Invitational will conclude today, with the final round beginning at 8 this morning.

Pac-12 presidents will welcome new members, especially if Texas is not one of them.

But ultimately, the Big 12’s future likely comes down to whether the schools raking in the most money want to share enough of it with those earning the least, or if they’d rather leave their current rivals behind and chase a bigger paycheck.

Any move by Texas could be complicated by the Longhorn Network as school officials explore whether other leagues would let them keep their recently launched venture or force them to make changes to fit established media rights guidelines. For example, Pac-12 bylaws created six regional networks that are shared by conference schools.

School and conference officials from the Big East and Big 12 have been discussing

ways to merge what’s left of the two leagues if Texas and Oklahoma leave the Big 12, a person involved in the discussions told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk publicly about the talks.

The Big East is left with only six football members after Pittsburgh and Syracuse announced plans to join the ACC this weekend, and the Big 12 could be in a similar situation if Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech all join Texas A&M in departing.

Texas lawmakers will be keeping their eyes on any move but are unlikely to interfere, said state Rep. Dan Branch, the Republican chairman of House Higher Education Committee.

Branch said he has told

Texas regents and administrators he would like the state’s major universities to be rooted in the conference in the middle of the country, not one that is “Los Angeles or Atlantic-centric.”

“I hope they will also take into consideration the greater good for Texans,” Branch said. “(But) I understand in this new world, we’ve got to allow those regents and presidents to make those decisions.”

The NCAA has no authority over conference affiliations, though NCAA President Mark Emmert said Monday that he has been contacting university presidents and conference commissioners. He said he is urging them to consider the well-being of the student-athletes.

Emmert also said talk of four or five superconferences is nothing more than conjecture.

BIG 12 NOTEBOOK

Sooners say focus solely on Missouri

By Kristie Rieken Associated Press Sports Writer

Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops insists he hasn’t thought too much about the possibility that it could be the last season of the Big 12 as he knows it.

He’s simply worried about Saturday, when his topranked Sooners host Missouri. The Sooners were No. 1 in the BCS rankings last year when then-No. 18 Missouri beat them 36-27 in Columbia, Mo. He said all the conference alignment talk isn’t a distraction.

“We were No. 1 in the country last year and we went up and they whipped us,” Stoops said. “So our players are more than aware of that and anxious to play.”

The other Big 12 game on the schedule in the first week of league play is the only match-up of Top 10 teams in the country, with No. 7 Oklahoma State visiting eighthranked Texas A&M. While Stoops wants to make sure Oklahoma doesn’t forget about what happened last year against Missouri, Tigers coach Gary Pinkel isn’t talking about it at all with his team.

“Last year is a different

year,” he said. “It’s just about preparing. It’s all preparation. You have to play well against those guys. There is no discussion of last year. “ Oklahoma has won the Big 12 title seven times, including a 23-20 win over Nebraska in last year’s title game. Stoops doesn’t believe that the possibility of the Big 12 breaking up after this season would make winning the title this season more important than it has been in the past.

“There’s always a great sense of urgency for us to do that and we’ve done it a lot,” he said. “Last year was pretty special with Nebraska leaving to play them in it. Every year, that’s one of our main goals. So this year it is too, but to say it’s more so than other years, that would be taking away from these other years where it was a big deal for us.”

Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman has been worried the last two weeks about the mindset of his team as the Aggies faced teams they were heavily favored against. This week, he knows his team understands what’s at stake.

“In games like this, they understand that and you don’t have to beat it into their head,” he said. “They hear

its first two games, so he decided to tell the Longhorns that Saturday’s game against UCLA started an hour before it actually did.

It was unclear if his team really believed the game started early, but either way, Brown’s trick work for the 19th-ranked Longhorns. They jumped out to a 21-0 lead and were ahead 28-10 at halftime in a 49-20 win.

“In the first two ball games, until halftime we just didn’t get kick started at all,” Brown said. “So my message all week was fast start, fast start, fast start. So we actually said the game is going to start at 11:30 so let’s get whatever bad play out of the way so we can get started like we do in the second half in the first half.

The guys did that.”

The Longhorns are off this week before traveling to Iowa State on Oct. 1. The kickoff for that game hasn’t been determined yet, so Brown won’t be able to sell his players on a fake start time during the off week.

things and they see things and they’re not stupid and they understand how important this game is for us. I don’t think you have to overstate it.”

The game will be the first meeting between Top 10 opponents at Kyle Field since the second-ranked Aggies beat No. 5 Texas 20-10 in 1975.

“In our conference this game has very explicit implications in regards to who takes an early lead in the conference,” Sherman said.

“Playing our first conference game against Oklahoma State Breakout performance is huge.”

Receiver Darrin Moore Early birds joined the Red Raiders last Texas coach Mack Brown year, but wasn’t able to get was unhappy about his team much playing time behind a getting off to bad starts in group established seniors.

“He came in as a big receiver who could run, but we had two receivers that were seniors last year and they knew so much more about how to play this level of football that it was hard for him to break in,” Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said.

Things are much different in 2011. Moore had just 15 receptions for 117 yards last season, but has already grabbed 21 catches for 339 yards and four touchdowns in two games this season.

The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Moore spent a season at Blinn Junior College where he was part of the Cam Newton-led championship team in 2009.

“He had a very good spring practice and we could tell he had really grown up a lot in two-a-days,” Tuberville said.

“He made the same catches in two-a-days. You earn the respect by showing your quarterback in practice: ‘Hey, if you throw it to me, I’m going to catch it.’ Then a lot of those things are going to happen in the game.”

Moore had 12 receptions for 221 yards and a touchdown in Tech’s opener against Texas State and added three scores against New Mexico. He leads the nation

in yards receiving a game with 169.5 and is averaging more than 16 yards a reception.

Tuberville said Moore bruised his hip when he got caught up in the chains after a catch against New Mexico, but that he practiced Sunday and should be ready to play Saturday against Nevada.

Heavy hearts The Aggies’ thoughts are with Oklahoma State linebackers coach Glenn Spencer, whose wife Angela died in the first quarter of the Cowboys’ game against Tulsa early Sunday.

Texas A&M defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter broke down and had to fight back tears when asked about Angela’s death. He said he didn’t know the family personally, but has friends who do. Her death reminded him of the unexpected death of his older brother John from a heart attack when he was at Nevada during the 2005 season.

“You get in a vacuum and you think all that matters is football,” DeRuyter said.

“We will battle our hearts out come Saturday, but we wish the best for him and his family.”

OKLAHOMA COACH BOB STOOPS LEAVES THE FIELD following OU’s 23-13 victory over Florida State on Saturday in Tallahassee, Fla.

Stoops’ extension worth $34.5 million TULSA, OKLA. (AP) — Two days after winning one of the college football season’s early marquee games, Bob Stoops was rewarded Monday with a new contract extension that could keep him as the coach of top-ranked Oklahoma through 2018 and pay him $34.5 million over the next seven years.

Oklahoma’s board of regents voted to give Stoops a $75,000 bump in his annual salary and a handful of bonuses that will reward him for staying in Norman each June — after the coaching carousel has usually run its course.

“I don’t think I need to add anything to the proof that he gave to the national viewing audience that there’s no better football coach in the country than he is,” university president David Boren said before recommending approval of Stoops’ new contract.

The deal calls for Stoops’ paydays to grow over the years, topping out at $5.15 million in salary and bonuses over the final three years.

He was already one of the highest-paid coaches in the country, making $30 million over the course of a previous seven-year deal approved in 2009.

The extension made no changes to his salary for this year, when he is set to make $4.875 million, including an $800,000 bonus he received on Jan. 1.

“In my opinion, he does not have a peer in college coaching either in terms of his strategic abilities as a coach, but also in terms of his example as a role model,” Boren told The Associated Press. “The quality of the players on our team as people is just extraordinary.

They are caring people, they set very high standards for themselves, they are very modest and generous to others and that doesn’t happen unless you have a coach who sets a very powerful example for them.”

Stoops’ Sooners won 23-13 at fifth-ranked Florida State on Saturday night, moving his record 100 games over .500 at 131-31.

Regents also gave athletic director Joe Castiglione a three-year contract extension through June 2017, including an annual raise of $165,000 and an annual bonus of $110,000 each Oct. 1 starting in 2013.

His total salary this year will be $915,000 without bonuses.

“We have excellent leadership in Joe Castiglione. He has brought to the university I think across the board the strongest group of coaches that we’ve ever had,” Boren told the AP. “I feel really blessed,” he added. “I just would put our total athletics program up against any in the United States, and I don’t think anybody exceeds our standards.”

STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — A full night of rest, and then some, has done the Oklahoma State Cowboys some good — so much so that coach Mike Gundy isn’t concerned about the fatigue factor heading into one of his team’s biggest games of the season.

Gundy said Monday that any hangover from the Cowboys’ bizarre 59-33 win at Tulsa on Sunday will be long past by the time No. 7 Oklahoma State (3-0) visits No. 8 Texas A&M (2-0) on Saturday afternoon in the Big 12 Conference opener for both teams.

Weather delays meant the Oklahoma State-Tulsa game — originally scheduled for a 9 p.m. Saturday kickoff — didn’t begin until 12:15 a.m.

Sunday. The game lasted until 3:35 a.m. and the Cowboys didn’t arrive home until about 6 a.m.

“The players are more resilient,” Gundy said. “They’re younger. Their bodies can make that change.”

Even after being up all night, many Oklahoma State players didn’t immediately go to sleep. Safety Daytawion Lowe said he was too wired after the game to try to rest for a few hours.

“By the time I got home, I still was up,” Lowe said. “I was looking at ESPN. I probably looked the same thing twice until I realized I’d already seen that. So I turned it off and went to sleep.”

Gundy said as coaches were grading film from the game, they noticed a significant drop-off in the Cowboys’

Tigers expect 2 players back COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — Missouri expects to get cornerback Kip Edwards and defensive end Jacquies Smith back from injuries for this week’s game against top-ranked Oklahoma.

Edwards missed Saturday’s blowout over Western Illinois with a knee injury sustained in an overtime loss at Arizona State and also has been dealing with a hamstring injury.

Smith dislocated his left elbow in a victory over Miami of Ohio and missed two games.

“You might as well just say my leg,” Edwards said. “I’m not really allowed to talk about it, I just know I’m feeling better. If the head man says I’m in, I’m in.”

Without those two, Missouri held Western Illinois to one first down and 44 total yards in a 69-0 victory on Saturday night.

OKLAHOMA SATE’S JONATHAN RUSH, LEFT, CELEBRATES a touchdown with Isaiah Anderson during their game Saturday, er, Sunday in Tulsa, Okla. OSU won the game delayed over three hours by a severe thunderstorm, 59-33. performance after building a 45-6 lead early in the third quarter. And he noted Tulsa rushed for 365 yards, which “didn’t have anything to do with the time we played.”

“I thought we played pretty well in the first half,” he said. “We didn’t play very well against the run throughout the game. We were really soft. . I thought in the second part of the third quarter and the fourth quarter, guys just went through the motions.”

Gundy didn’t want to say that was due to fatigue, noting Tulsa’s players had to play under the same circumstances.

Gundy — who went home and slept for about two hours before returning to the office to start preparing for the Texas A&M game — opted to keep the Cowboys on their regular schedule despite the unusual situation.

Players went through a light practice session Sunday and had Monday off, which has been the Cowboys’ routine. He said players looked remarkably fresh Sunday considering the circumstances, an assessment the players seconded.

Quarterback Brandon Weeden said he was grateful that the game against Texas A&M will have a more reasonable start time of 2:30 p.m.

“Day games are fun,” Weeden said. “2:30 in the afternoon is a lot better than midnight.”

It was suggested to Gundy that the Cowboys’ experience at Tulsa would be good preparation should Oklahoma State join the Pac-12 Conference. Gundy didn’t disagree.

“Honestly, that’s true, especially if you’re playing on the West Coast,” Gundy said. “If you finish the game out there at 10ish or 11ish, that’s 12ish or 1ish here, and then you’ve got a three-hour flight, so you’re looking at 4 or 5 in the morning” getting back to Stillwater.

Gundy reiterated he’d like to see the Big 12 stay intact.

— Please email your questions to anniesmailbox@comcast.net, or write to Annie’s Mailbox, P.O. Box 118190 Chicago, IL 60611.

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Annie: I have been married for a long time to a very social guy. I am not. I suffer from depression and chronic pain. I have a small home business and do most of the household chores.

Most days, I am weary simply getting through the day.

The problem comes from all the activities he joins. I don’t mind that he does. I actually encourage him to do what makes him happy. The problem is, as his wife, he expects me to take part in every event.

I have suggested that I come to some, but not all.

‘New Girl’ comes in with a bang “New Girl” (8 p.m., Fox) has a lot of familiar facets to it, not that there’s anything wrong with that. It also has Zooey Deschanel, a lot of charm and that rarest of all sitcom ingredients — evidence of a human heart.

The offbeat object of desire in films as varied as “Elf” and “(500) Days of Summer,” star and producer Deschanel is wise enough to use her appeal in a sitcom that’s a comfortable twist on the familiar.

In many ways, “New Girl” is the mirror image of “The Big Bang Theory.” In that CBS comedy you have one “normal” girl contending with a gaggle of dorks. “Girl” features a rather dorky, desperate girl becoming the roommate of three and sometimes four guys who work overtime convincing themselves they’re “normal.”

After catching her long-term boyfriend with another girl, schoolteacher Jess (Deschanel) moves in with three strangers. Nick (Jake Johnson) is convinced he’s over a bitter breakup. Schmidt (Max Greenfield) is a stud in his own mind. Coach (Damon Wayans Jr.) has some rage issues.

At first, these guys seem adrift with an emotional basket case in their midst.

Particularly one who has to watch “Dirty Dancing” for days on end. This being television, “Girl” is really about the medium’s culture clash and gender wars. It poses the question, “What would happen if Lifetime and Bravo moved into an apartment with ESPN and Spike?”

Happily, the guys warm to Jess about the time viewers should warm to this show. Wisely, “Girl” doesn’t trade in the kind of easy vulgarity that could arise on a CBS show about girls and guys sharing a bathroom. It’s nice to see a sitcom that depicts young men as actual human beings, capable of developing a protective bond with their neurotic new roommate.

Deschanel can be charming, but it’s the guys’ reaction that makes “Girl” so endearing.

The flawed-sleuth-with-superpowers genre gets ever more crowded with “Unforgettable” (9 p.m., CBS). Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) has a rare condition. She remembers everything and every moment she’s ever experienced.

While this might drive the average person batty, she uses it to re-enter moments in a cinematic fashion and poke around for evidence. To make matters weirder, she gets to enter the scene as the “now” Carrie and look at everything, including the “then” Carrie, while finding clues.

Tonight’s other season debuts

Tony questions Gibbs on “NCIS” (7 p.m., CBS).

“The Biggest Loser” (7 p.m., NBC) returns.

The search for Hetty enters Romania on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS).

A car accident reveals the nasty side of a posh neighborhood on “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC).

Dear Annie: I’m soon to be an adult and am starting to make some important decisions. “Lana” has been my best friend for 12 years, but I’m beginning to think it’s over. She is really hurting me.

When we go to festivals together, Lana walks around with someone else and ignores me. When I invite her to go to the movies, she always wants to bring a date, which makes me the third wheel. Every time I really like a guy, she friends him on Facebook and gets him interested in her. We even took her on a family vacation, and she barely spoke to my parents and didn’t thank them afterward.

Times have been tough for Lana lately, and I’m there for support, but she always creates drama and pushes things to the edge. Being there for her turns me into a wreck.

My parents think she isn’t worth the trouble, and I’m starting to believe they are right. When I’m with Lana, I feel miserable.

What can I do? All this is stressing me out. — One Confused Cookie

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Yanks’ Rivera stands alone Cubs 5, Brewers 2 CHICAGO — Geovany Soto hit a pair of two-run homers and drove in all of Chicago’s runs in a victory over Milwaukee.

The loss and St. Louis’ win over Philadelphia kept the Brewers’ magic number at four for clinching the NL Central. They are looking for their first division title in 29 years.

The Associated Press

American League Yankees 6, Twins 4 NEW YORK — Mariano Rivera stood by himself, in the center of the diamond at Yankee Stadium.

For once, the great closer wasn’t sure what to do next.

So he smiled, blew a kiss to the crowd, and then doffed his cap as cheers washed over him following the record 602nd save of his career.

“Oh, my God, for the first time in my career, I’m on the mound alone,” Rivera said.

“It was priceless. I didn’t know it could be like that.”

Rivera pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out Chris Parmelee on what appeared to be his signature cut fastball to end the Yankees’ victory over Minnesota on Monday.

It’s a remarkable achievement, considering the slender right-hander throws mostly one pitch. Opposing hitters have seen it for years, but still haven’t figured it out.

“It’s amazing,” Cuddyer said. “You’ve got a 99 percent chance of knowing what’s coming, and he still is able to go out there and dominate.”

So good for so long, Rivera has built a Hall of Fame-caliber career and been a pillar of five World Series championship teams. The only person who might not acknowledge Rivera isn’t the best closer of all time is Rivera himself.

“You know me, I’m not like that,” Rivera said. “I like to be under the radar, do my job.”
