City database shows contractors’ licenses

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

Lawrence city officials are trying to show that one of the more important tools in a homeimprovement project can be a computer.

The city announced Monday that it has created an online

database that allows anyone to search to find out whether his contractor of choice has the necessary city licenses. “There are a lot of advantages to having a licensed contractor do your work,� said Barry Walthall, the city’s building safety manager.

Plus, for many jobs, a licensed

building contractor is required by law, unless you also are the owner-occupant of the home and are tackling the job yourself.

In 2005 the city broadened its contractor licensing code to cover professionals such as framing contractors, concrete installers, and general contrac-

tors, in addition to more traditional licensed trades of plumbers, electricians and heating and cooling professionals.

But the city hasn’t had an easy system to allow residents to verify whether a contractor is licensed by the city. Walthall said the new database should make checking the license of

a contractor as easy as logging onto a website. “We have some new technology in place, and it allows us the capability to do this online,� Walthall said. “We want to make it as easy as possible.�

The online database is availPlease see CITY, page 2A

THE EASTSIDE BLEACHERS AND THE BEGINNING OF THE STEEL FRAME for the press box of Kansas University’s new track are going up at the Rock Chalk Park development. Between the foreground field of cattle and running through the frame from left to right is the South Lawrence Trafficway. This view Monday is from U.S. Highway 40/West Sixth Street looking back to the northeast from just past the intersection with the SLT. The development will include a $25 million city-owned recreation center, softball and soccer facilities and the track and field for KU.

Professor receiving death School board agrees to Haskell threats after NRA tweet Avenue site for tech ed center

By Ben Unglesbee and Scott Rothschild

bunglesbee@ljworld.com; srothschild@ljworld.com

Kansas University journalism professor David W. Guth’s message about the NRA on social media last week has prompted anger from gun rights supporters, rebuke from KU officials, an indefinite leave from his job and, now, death threats from some angered by his tweet.

Meanwhile, his journalism school colleagues issued a statement in support of his free-speech rights and the chancellor issued a statement saying that the decision to put Guth on leave was not related to the content of his message on Twitter.

On Monday, Guth said he had received thousands of angry tweets, emails, phone calls and Facebook posts since last week. Among those messages have been death threats, which Guth Guth has shared with the Lawrence Police Department so it can help him monitor the situation, he said. “I’m not taking them too seriously, but I’m not ignoring them.�

Last week, Guth posted a message on Twitter in the aftermath of the shootings in the Washington,

The Lawrence school board voted unanimously tonight to locate its new College and Career Center at an industrial site near 31st and Haskell, alongside a new adult job training center being proposed by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.

That decision followed a community meeting that was held last week at Lawrence High School where, Superintendent Rick Doll said, those who showed up expressed overwhelming support for the idea. “The real reason we had the meeting last Monday night was to gauge pub-

D.C., Navy Yard that left 13 dead.

“The blood is on the hands of the #NRA. Next time, let it be YOUR sons and daughters. Shame on you. May God damn you,” Guth tweeted.

The message was met by anger and outrage from gun rights supporters and others who said that Guth was wishing death on the children of NRA members.

KU officials condemned Guth’s tweet, and by the end of the week he was placed on indefinite administrative leave with pay.

Support from colleagues Several of Guth’s colleagues voiced their support for him in a statement Monday signed by 13 professors of the KU School of Journalism: “We do not agree with our colleague David Guth’s recent comments, but we support his right to express his ideas, just as we support the rights of others to express their own opinions about his comments.”

They added, “Because of the polarized nature and volume of response to Professor Guth’s comments, we support his decision and the decision of the university administration for Professor Guth to transfer his students and classes to other professors at this time.”

Guth said that he had “received no indication” that his leave was disci-

Gerleman believes Kapaun saved her life back in 2006, just as he saved soldiers in the prisonerof-war camp.

In 2006, Gerleman came down with an autoimmune disorder that began destroying her lungs and kidneys. A respirator and dialysis were keeping her alive. There was oxygen building behind

her heart, and surgery was necessary to relieve the pressure. She lost 30 pounds and eventually had to learn to walk again.

“I am supposed to be a vegetable on oxygen,” Avery said. “It’s crazy. But I know I am a miracle.”

The Gerlemans, their parish priest, congregation, friends, and even area soccer clubs and people around the globe began praying to God and asking Kapaun’s intercession for a miraculous healing for Avery. She has since recovered.

Sign-hanging contractor.

The city long has required plumbing, electrical and mechanical contractors to be licensed.

But Walthall said the city expanded the licensing program in 2005 because it wanted to ensure that consumers were dealing with contractors who had a certain level of training and experience for other projects, such as remodeling, residential additions, and certain types of concrete work.

The city’s licensing program requires all contractors to carry an adequate amount of bonded insurance, requires license holders to take at least one day of continuing education classes per year, and requires that licensees either pass a certification test or hold a specific degree. The program also requires license holders to have various levels of industry experience. A general contractor, for example, must have at least six years of experience in the industry, while a residential contractor must have at least two years.

Walthall said he doesn’t think there are a lot of Lawrence contractors operating in the community without a license.

“But there is always the

issue of contractors coming from out of town,” Walthall said. “We want to steer them to go through the licensing process.”

He said some consumers may have unintentionally had work done by an unlicensed contractor because they weren’t aware that the work was covered under the code.

He said there are remodeling projects — like finishing a basement — that aren’t considered major structural changes that still require a building permit and a licensed contractor.

Walthall said the new database system should help consumers feel more secure about their choice of contractors. But just like a good carpenter measures twice and cuts once, Walthall said consumers should have at least a twopart process in checking out building contractors.

“The licensing ensures they have good qualifications, are insured, and have some experience,” Walthall said. “But you’ll still want to check their references. The licensing program is not an indication of the contractor’s reputation.”

plinary, but rather it was a measure to protect his safety as well as that of students and the public.

KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little said in a statement Monday that the decision to put Guth on leave “was taken in order to avoid further disruption of the learning environment and not because of the nature of the professor’s comments, regardless of how controversial they may be.”

To determine when it will be appropriate for Guth to return, a group will be formed to advise the provost, said Timothy Caboni, KU’s vice chancellor for public affairs.

The group will not have decision-making authority. Instead, Caboni said it will advise the provost’s office based on its assessment of whether or not “the conditions and concerns have changed enough to allow for (Guth’s) return in a way that is not disruptive.”

The group will be composed of staff members from KU’s risk management, student affairs, public safety, facilities and provost’s offices, as well as a senior faculty member from a school other than the journalism school.

agreed to go on a planned sabbatical early, but Caboni refuted them in a statement earlier on Monday.

The controversy around Guth’s tweet could spill into other university bodies as well. Faculty Senate President Christopher Steadham said that group has been “actively monitoring the situation.”

“We certainly recognize the need to have a swift formal response,” he said, but declined to elaborate on what form that response would take while the senate is still gathering information and opinions from faculty members.

Meanwhile Kansas state legislators continued in their condemnation of Guth, some of them calling for his dismissal.

Legislators and others who want Guth fired are focusing on a portion of the tweet that they say calls for violence. But Guth says his tweet is being misinterpreted.

State Sen. Greg Smith, R-Overland Park, said the tweet is inexcusable because it “urges people to use guns to perpetrate violence on other people and their children.” Smith, whose daughter Kelsey, 18, was a murder victim in 2007, said, “I am aghast at his conduct.”

Last week, Guth said he wasn’t advocating violence. He said he was trying to make gun advocates see mass shootings from the view of the victims.

Duration of leave is uncertain Caboni said he did not know how long Guth’s leave might last. Officials have made arrangements for Guth’s classes to be taught by other faculty members for the rest of the semester. Reports surfaced that Guth had

Residential Westar customers might soon see rate increase

Limited activities urged for pumpkin patch

Trio in transit

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Residential customers of Westar Energy would see a $3 per month increase in their electric bills under a proposed settlement announced Monday.

The proposal will next go to the Kansas Corporation Commission on Thursday for consideration.

Westar originally wanted to increase residential and small business rates while reducing rates paid by big businesses and industrial customers. Under Westarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initial request, residential customers would have paid $7.50 more per month.

But under the settlement, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;re-balancingâ&#x20AC;? of rates wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen was the huge revenue shift,â&#x20AC;? said David Springe, consumer counsel for the Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Utility Ratepayer Board, which represents residential customers and small businesses.

Under the proposal, Westar will receive a $30.7 million rate increase, which it says it needs for environmental improvements at the La Cygne coal-fired power plant in eastern Kansas.

Of that increase, residential customers would pay approximately $18 million more; small general businesses, such as downtown stores, $12.7 million; medi-

Dole Institute exercise reveals the trade-offs on federal budget cutting â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal budget deficit exercise at the Dole Institute of Politics at Kansas University did the seemingly impossible: It made people feel compassion for Congress.

That may seem hard to believe, when four-fifths of the country disapproves of the job Congress is doing, but trying to reduce the deficit is a little more difficult when you are the one faced with the decisions, which have wideranging impacts on the lives of real people.

Kirk and Julie Berggren, of Overland Park, have asked the county for an agritourism permit to operate their KC Pumpkin Patch on a 40-acre farm on Kansas Highway 33.

They currently operate a pumpkin patch in southwest Johnson County, but have said they need to move because of the impending development of the intermodal transportation facility near Gardner.

In their application, the Berggrens indicated that the Douglas County site would only be used for picking pumpkins, bird watching and fishing in a small pond.

But neighbors of the proposed Douglas County site objected to the plan after

REPORT

Charges will not be filed against the driver of a vehicle that struck and killed a 29-year-old Lawrence woman in July, a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper said.

Hayley M. Berrios was riding a bicycle east across the South Lawrence Trafficway near the stoplight at 27th Street at about 8 p.m. on July 21 when she was struck by a vehicle traveling north.

Berrios, who had been riding with her husband, Stephen, and several friends from a church group, was declared dead before a helicopter ambulance could arrive. A 1974 Chevrolet truck driven by Walter Spencer, 67, of Lawrence,

struck her. Spencer was not injured in the accident and will not face charges of failing to stop, Kansas Highway Patrol trooper Dennis Shoemaker said.

The highway patrol and Douglas County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department investigated the accident, Shoemaker said, and conducted in-person interviews of numerous witnesses. Shoemaker said that Berrios was riding beside a friend when they came upon the intersection. Her friend stopped as the traffic light turned red and called for Berrios to stop moments before the collision.

Shoemaker said that several witnesses also driving the same direction as Spencer were able to verify that he had the green light.

learning about the size and scope of the Berggrensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Johnson County operation, which includes selfpick pumpkins along with carnival games, music and entertainment, including pumpkin and gourd â&#x20AC;&#x153;cannons,â&#x20AC;? which fire the vegetables out of gun-like barrels made of PVC pipe.

They also noted that the site plan the Berggrens submitted indicated a parking lot that could accommodate more than 800 automobiles, plus up to 16 buses.

After a lengthy and sometimes acrimonious public hearing Sept. 11, commissioners directed zoning staff to draft a permit that would include conditions to address the neighborsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns.

The zoning staff released a draft of their recommendations Monday and posted it on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

The staff recommends, among other things, that the size of the parking lot be scaled back to no more than a 100-vehicle facility, that the entire site be screened off from neighboring property with an opaque fence, and that the business be limited just to pumpkin picking, bird watching and fishing between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

The recommendations also include a requirement that no permit be issued until the Kansas Department of Transportation conducts a traffic impact analysis of the effect the business would have on that section of K-33, south of U.S. Highway 56. That analysis also would have to be approved by the county engineer.

tricts, $500,000.

Under a separate contract, Occidental Chemical plant in Wichita, one of Westarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest customers, will receive a $9.7 million rate reduction.

For residential customers, the $3 increase represents about a 2.5 percent hike, Springe said.

During a public hearing

in July, Westar officials said more of the rates needed to be paid by residential customers because big businesses were paying more than their fair share.

But dozens of speakers disagreed.

enough information. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have as many options as you thought you had,â&#x20AC;? said Brad Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, which designed Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exercise.

Attendees split into groups of five or so, and took on the task of reducing a more-than-halfa-trillion-dollar deficit in the budget of the U.S. government, which was harder than it sounds. Because even among groups of seemingly like-minded people, contrasts existed: the Social Security recipient who would be reluctant to have his benefits reduced, the self-employed woman who believes she pays more than her fair share in taxes already, the college student who will cut just about anything because not much of it affects him.

And the options that

would reduce the most from the deficit? Those seem like the ones to target, until you realize they are the biggest because they affect the broadest spectrum of Americans.

In real life, these decision have obvious ramifications. Make the wrong one, and it becomes the content for your opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next campaign ad.

Or worse, it negatively impact the lives of the people you were elected to represent.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Slattery reminded participants that there are â&#x20AC;&#x153;immediate and direct political consequences to each of these choices.â&#x20AC;?

The other option, though, is to continue with the status quo. As Tauke said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do I want to pass on to my kids a legacy where I took and expected them to pay?â&#x20AC;?

Boy brave, selfless in face of cancer Community rallies around 4th-grader as he battles disease

By Giles Bruce gbruce@ljworld.com

Brayden Ballew watched the numbers add up in real time: 1,997, 1,998, 1,999 ... 2,000! â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like, happy New Year!â&#x20AC;? said the 9-year-old Lawrence boy.

When his goal for â&#x20AC;&#x153;likesâ&#x20AC;? on his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fightâ&#x20AC;? Facebook page was met, it was as if he were watching the ball drop Dec. 31: a countdown followed by ecstatic joy.

There havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been a lot of recent moments like that for Brayden, who has been fighting Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lymphoma since his diagnosis in June. But family, friends and community members have done their best to cheer up the fourth-grader, who likes karate, baseball and Kansas University basketball.

Over the past few months, local businesses and community members have held several benefits for Brayden. They have included the Buzz for Bray (where people shaved their heads in his honor), the Bash for Bray (where attendees bashed cars for charity) and Kickinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for Bray (at Braydenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s karate studio).

People have donated money and hotel stays, brought his family home-

NINE-YEAR-OLD BRAYDEN BALLEW TALKS WITH HIS MOTHER while resting on the couch Sept. 9 in their Lawrence home. On July 3, Brayden was diagnosed with Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lymphoma and is preparing to undergo his fourth round of chemotherapy. cooked meals and shared their experiences with childhood cancer; one anonymous woman even bought Brayden a wheelchair when he and his mom were looking at them at a store in Lawrence. The money and support received at the events have helped get the Ballews through a difficult time.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness

Month. As Braydenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story illustrates, the disease can strike anyone, of any age, often without a definitive cause. But as his case also shows, children can be extremely brave and resilient in the face of such a significant health challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a lot of children affected by cancer,â&#x20AC;? said Braydenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom, Kari, 34. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty humbling when you walk

into a room at the hospital and see children, babies, infants.â&#x20AC;?

The problems started last October, when Brayden began suffering from swollen lymph nodes. It took several more months and numerous doctor visits before Brayden and his parents got a diagnosis they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear: stage 2 Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lymphoma (his father, Kevin, also battled

the disease as a teenager).

Since then, Brayden has been anything but a regular 9-year-old boy. He spends much of his time receiving chemotherapy at a Kansas City, Mo., childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital, staying the night at the Ronald McDonald House afterward, or resting at home on off days. He canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go out much, especially when his blood counts are low, for fear of being infected. He

is unable to have things like fountain drinks, softserve ice cream and deli meats because of the risk of bacteria (he has, however, been able to chow down on his beloved donuts). He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t returned to Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Langston Hughes School; teachers bring his assignments to his home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I just go Please see CHILD, page 6A

Report questions whether tax incentives to lure businesses work

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

States are spending billions of dollars on tax incentives to lure businesses, but policymakers often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether the incentives work, according to a report released Monday.

The Council of State Governments report also said that funding education may be more important in trying to bring businesses to a state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most states make significant investments in business incentives, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found most states donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a good handle on what that investment is buying,â&#x20AC;? said David Adkins, executive director and chief executive officer of CSG, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group based in Lexington, Ky. The report tracks on a national level what a state audit released earlier this month said of Kansasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; business tax incentives.

That audit said it was difficult to assess the benefits of major economic development programs that are designed to lure businesses to Kansas because the Kansas Department of Commerce had incomplete or inaccurate data. In addition, the audit said the state had exceeded the statutory cap on tax

incentives.

The CSG report, released at the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national conference in Kansas City, Mo., found similar problems in other states.

The report said state leaders often arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t familiar with the costs of tax incentives, and that solid evaluation of the programs is lacking. It also said bidding wars for businesses between states can have a negative effect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Far too often, states are competing for a business whose relocation decision is not significantly impacted by the business incentives offered,â&#x20AC;? said Adkins, a former Kansas state legislator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investments in education and cultural resources may actually do more to influence the decisions of CEOs.â&#x20AC;?

State Sen. Jay Scott Emler, R-Lindsborg, who was chair of CSG last year, created the working group that looked at how states are using business incentives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The working group hopes legislators, economic development practitioners and private sector companies make this a living document that provides guidance to everyone and helps to advance all economic development,â&#x20AC;? Emler said.

BRIEFLY Hodgson announces run for House seat

myeloma and Hodgkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease.

Democrat Abbie Hodgson on Monday announced she is running for the House District 46 seat, currently held by House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence, who is running for governor.

Hodgson, 31, has been active in Democratic Party politics, and held several positions in the administrations of former governors Kathleen Sebelius and Mark Parkinson, both Democrats.

Hodgson teaches in the communications department at Kansas University while she completes her doctoral degree in political communication. She also operates a political consulting firm called Prairie Fire Consulting and is secretary of the Douglas County Democratic Party.

Leukemia group holding night walk

Sheriffs group says arrests offensive WICHITA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The head of a state sheriffs group says the arrest of a southwest Kansas sheriff last week is offensive to other top law enforcement officials who are bound to a higher code of ethics because of their positions.

The Wichita Eagle reports Hamilton County Sheriff Richard Garza was arrested last Sunday morning on suspicion of aggravated assault.

Scott County Attorney John Shirley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; appointed special prosecutor in the case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; told The Associated Press the incident was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;family matterâ&#x20AC;? and there was no physical violence.

Kansas Sheriffs Association executive director Sandy Horton says such arrests are disappointing because it takes a long time to rebuild trust with the public.

Two other Kansas sheriffs also have been criminally charged in the past two years.

Kansas voters can be on hold for years

By John Hanna AP Political Writer

TOPEKA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As Kansas election officials deal with thousands of prospective voters whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not yet complied with a proof-of-citizenship law, hundreds of registrations have remained on hold for more than a year for other reasons, an Associated Press computer analysis shows.

The analysis of state data suggests that a significant number of registrations being put on hold by election officials now over the proof-of-citizenship requirement could remain on hold as next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections approach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and beyond. The number on hold has ballooned to more than 21,500 since the Kansas law took effect in January, requiring new voters to produce a birth certificate, passport or other papers proving their U.S. citizenship when registering.

People with registrations on hold cannot legally vote, and if they went to the polls, their ballots would be set aside and not counted. Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s registrations have been put on

hold in the past because they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fill out forms fully or correctly or because they had yet to turn 18, but now about 17,300 are on the list because of the proof-of-citizenship rule.

Through an open records request, AP obtained the statewide list of registrations on hold as of Friday, the latest data available, and 3,500 pre-date this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proofof-citizenship law. More than 2,500, or almost 12 percent, are more than a year old. And about 900, or roughly 4 percent, are more than five years old.

Election officials say state and federal laws limit their ability to cancel registrations that are on hold, and a few are asking whether the state should set a new, more stringent policy for eliminating old ones. APâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer analysis shows that a small number of registrations on the list date to the 1980s and even earlier, though officials said they could be examples of people whose registrations have been on and off hold over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a law that allows us to (cancel the

registrations), so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there forever,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Newby, election commissioner in Johnson County, where more than 21 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1.7 million registered voters live.

Another 4,700 have registrations on hold, including 478 with on-hold registrations that are more than a year old.

Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a Republican, successfully Kobach pushed for the proofof-citizenship law as a way to prevent non-citizens, particularly those in the U.S. illegally, from voting.

Critics of the law contend that it unnecessarily suppresses turnout, and the American Civil Liberties Union has threatened to file a federal lawsuit.

Some election officials worry that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a rush of people providing citizenship papers next year, particularly ahead of the November 2014 general election. Kobach has argued that with federal law requiring states to allow

people to register to vote at driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license offices, the new lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest effect is on people who fill out registration forms at those offices but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to vote.

Kansas House Elections Committee Chairman Scott Schwab, an Olathe Republican, said some people will fill out registrations forms but â&#x20AC;&#x153;just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care enough to finish.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not much you can do about it,â&#x20AC;? Schwab said, though he also wants to review the administration of the proof-of-citizenship law, which he supported.

Election officials said such prospective voters can remain on hold indefinitely if notices mailed by election officials arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t returned as undeliverable.

Forty-six registrations on the statewide list as of Friday were listed as being more than 20 years old, including one in Johnson County dated July 1964.

Officials said those few, oldest listings could belong to voters who once were registered properly but then moved or had another issue arise sometime since.

KU graduate student in immigration limbo The Associated Press

A 25-year-old graduate student at Kansas University has been caught in immigration limbo and may have to return to her native Germany despite living in the U.S. since she was 12.

Tamara Vitale, the child of legal immigrants, graduated from Olathe East High School in suburban Kansas City before attending Kansas University. She told The Topeka Capital-Journal that when she was 19, an immigration attorney made mistakes,

leaving her as the only family member who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive her green card. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The woman who was in charge of our immigration papers royally messed up,â&#x20AC;? Vitale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wrong fees and wrong papers sent in at the wrong times.â&#x20AC;?

When Vitale turned 21 without a green card, she was considered an independent adult for immigration purposes. She could reapply as the unmarried daughter of lawful permanent residents older than 21, but the waiting list for applicants to the U.S. in that category can be

more than a decade long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My chances of being able to stay in the country in which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived over half my life are slim â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unless I get married,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turned down several marriage proposals, among them one from her boyfriend. She says she wants to continue to search for a legal remedy to secure U.S. citizenship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all about pride and self-sufficiency,â&#x20AC;? Vitale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could marry my boyfriend, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have to do that.â&#x20AC;?

In 2012, the Obama administration declared it

would defer deportation of hundreds of thousands of children of immigrants in the country without legal permission and who entered the U.S. without legal permission before the age of 16.

Vitale said she thought it would be reasonable then for the U.S. government to allow children who came to America legally to follow a path to citizenship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it is a problem,â&#x20AC;?

Vitale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always overlooked. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the demographic too small for anybody to talk about.â&#x20AC;?

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society will hold the Light the Night Walk on Saturday to help raise money and awareness of the fight against cancer.

The event begins at South Park in Lawrence at 6 p.m. After games, entertainment and food, the walk will begin. Participants carry different colored lanterns, with survivors bearing white lanterns, supporters red and those who have lost loved ones carrying gold.

More than 500 in Lawrence contributed to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk. Similar walks in 185 cities across the continent raised a total of $51 million through in 2012. Money raised goes to finding cures for leukemia, lymphoma,

The search for a new dean of the Kansas University School of Medicine continues. The school is currently finishing the first round of interviews and hopes to invite finalists back to campus for a second round starting in mid-October, according to C.J. Janovy, director of communications for the KU Medical Center. The last person to fill the job was Barbara Atkinson, who retired in June.

All hostages free in mall siege, say Kenyan authorities

By Nicholas Soi and Robyn Dixon The Los Angeles Times

NAIROBI, KENYA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Authorities said they were going floor by floor through a darkened, smoldering mall early Tuesday as they searched for remnants of a team of attackers that had seized the building, and that they believed all those trapped or held hostage had been freed.

But after conflicting statements from Kenyan officials about the status of operations, and on-andoff volleys of heavy gunfire and explosions, much remained unclear, including how many hostages there might have been and how close the nearly three-day drama really was to being over.

U.S. officials said they could not confirm reports that Americans were among the estimated 10 to 15 attackers. The al-Shabab militant group, which claimed responsibility for the assault, is linked to al-Qaida. It is known

to have recruited Americans, Europeans and other foreigners, including Kenyans.

Officials, who reported Sunday that 68 people had been killed, lowered the toll to 62 on Monday, saying some of the dead had been counted twice.

Among those killed were six British citizens; two French; two Canadians; and a well-known Ghanaian poet, Kofi Awoonor.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said a nephew and his nephewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiancee had been slain, but that more than 1,000 people escaped the upscale mall after the attack began midday Saturday.

Kenyan officials said three attackers had been killed and others wounded.

Unconfirmed Kenyan media reports said six gunmen had died. Ten people had been arrested for questioning, officials said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our forces are combing the mall floor by floor looking for anyone left behind. We believe all hostages have been released,â&#x20AC;? the Interior Ministry said

KENYAN SECURITY PERSONNEL AND JOURNALISTS HIDE behind a vehicle as heavy gunfire erupts Monday from the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. in a Twitter message early Tuesday morning. It said an hour later that security forces â&#x20AC;&#x153;continue to secure the Westgate mall building. Official statement on status of the operation to be issued later.â&#x20AC;?

A major assault by security forces began with gunfire ringing out at dawn Monday. The attack reached a crescendo in the early afternoon, with a volley of explosions and heavy arms fire. Black

smoke poured out of the building, as a fire raged for many hours.

Kenyan armed forces chief Gen. Julius Karangi said the fire was started by the assailants as a diversion in a bid to flee the

School

Since then, however, local business leaders have urged the district to consider the site at 31st and Haskell, currently owned

by HiPer Industries, Inc., where they plan to develop a job training center for adults.

Under the new plan, the Lawrence-Douglas County Economic Development Corporation will acquire the property from HiPer Industries, Inc. That group would then deed over to the school district a portion of the land on the northwest corner of the parcel to the school district for the public school portion of the complex.

Both the school district and the Economic Development Corporation then plan to contract with area community colleges and technical schools to offer courses at the complex.

The school district has already decided on the programs it plans to offer.

They will focus on allied

health sciences, computer networking, commercial construction and machine technologies.

ABOUT 9 MILLION OF THE NEW IPHONE 5S AND 5C MODELS have sold since Friday, surpassing the 5 million units that the iPhone 5 sold in its first weekend.

Sales of new iPhones surpass forecasts

By Michael Liedtke AP Technology Writer

SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gadget lovers still canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist the iPhoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seductive call, even amid a bevy of enticing lower-priced alternatives that offer similar features.

In a Monday announcement, Apple Inc. said it sold 9 million units of its top-of-the-line iPhone 5S and less-expensive iPhone 5C during their first three days on sale. That trounced the performance of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model, the iPhone 5, which sold 5 million units in its opening weekend.

The initial sales figures for Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest iPhone models provided the latest testament to the productâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enduring appeal more than six years after the debut of the first iPhone triggered a mobile computing revolution.

The iPhone 5S and 5Câ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick start also surpassed analyst forecasts that predicted Apple would sell somewhere from 6 million to 8 million models during the first weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible,â&#x20AC;? Apple CEO Tim Cook crowed in a statement. As part of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to drum up interest in its most profitable product, Cook made an early-morning appearance at an Apple store in Palo Alto, Calif. on Friday when the new iPhones first went on sale.

Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive news helped generate more in-

terest in Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock.

The shares gained $23.23, or 5 percent, to close at $490.64.

Despite that rally, Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock price remains slightly below where it stood before the Cupertino, Calif. companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sept.

10 unveiling of its latest iPhones.

The downturn reflects concerns that the new phones wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough to reverse a slowdown in Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue growth that has been brought on by tougher competition from Samsung Electronics and others. Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rivals have been gaining market share by selling less expensive phones running on Google Inc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free Android software.

Those nagging worries are the main reason that Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market value has sagged by about 30 percent, or $200 billion, since last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release of the iPhone 5.

Part of this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s higher iPhone sales volume stemmed from Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to make the latest models available on a broader scale than in past years. For instance, this marked the first time that a new iPhone has gone on sale in China at the same time that the product launched in the U.S. But the opening sales numbers also served as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a powerful reminder of the strength of (Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) iPhone franchise,â&#x20AC;? ISI Group analyst Brian Marshall wrote in a Monday research note.

ucation â&#x20AC;&#x153;campusâ&#x20AC;? would be governed and what additional programs the Chamber plans to offer at its portion of the complex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of work to do,â&#x20AC;? Chamber board president Doug Gaumer said after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d see something with a little more concreteness to it within four to six weeks.â&#x20AC;?

Changing plans The school board had originally planned to build a 30,000-square-foot facility for career and technical education on property it already owns near Holcom Park, west of 25th and Iowa. The facility is expected to cost $6.5 million, money that was included in the $92.5 million bond issue that voters approved in April.

Questions remain But plans for exactly what kinds of programs would be offered at the adult education center still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been worked out, and board member Randy Masten said that is a concern to him.

Board member Randy Masten said he still has concerns about the lack of detail in the arrangements between the school district and the adult education center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m completely in favor of being a good partner,â&#x20AC;? Masten said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not worried about it on our side. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried about it on their side because they were very, very non-forthcoming with what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got planned to actually do in that building.â&#x20AC;?

Gaumer said the Chamber and Economic Development Corporation

building, but provided no more detail.

Explosions and gunfire continued on and off throughout the day. Defense officials said the attackers were in one location in the mall, with no way to escape.

Earlier Monday, Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said at a news conference that efforts to release the hostages had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;very, very successfulâ&#x20AC;? and those being held were â&#x20AC;&#x153;very few.â&#x20AC;?

But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear whether people had simply escaped the mall after hiding or whether they had been freed by security forces. There was also speculation that the attackers may have been holed up in a supermarket within the mall, without hostages.

As of late Monday, it appeared no one had come forward to say they had been held by the militants and freed by security forces. Several people described Sunday how they had hidden in the mall and later escaped.

havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet decided on the types of programming they plan to offer in their adult training center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first step we had to undertake was to secure the property, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the process of doing that,â&#x20AC;? Gaumer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working concurrently with Patrick Kelly (the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career and technical education director) and Dr. Doll in having preliminary discussions about the governance.â&#x20AC;?

Doll said all agreements between the school district and the adult education center would come in the form of contracts that the school board would have to approve.

He said the first contract for the transfer of real estate should be ready for board approval within the next couple of weeks. He also said the district still intends to break ground on the new facility next spring so it can be ready to open by the fall of 2015.

Tentative deal reached to buy BlackBerry TORONTO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; BlackBerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest shareholder has reached a tentative agreement to pay $4.7 billion for the troubled smartphone maker, even as many investors fret about its potential demise.

BlackBerry Ltd. said Monday that Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. has signed a letter of intent to buy the company for $9 per share in cash and take it private.

The tentative deal comes just days after the Canadian company announced plans to lay off 40 percent of its global workforce. The offer price is below what the company had been trading at before the layoff announcement.

Analysts say that although BlackBerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardware business is not worth anything, the company still owns valuable patents.

U.S. edges toward high-level discourse with Iran

Tuesday, September 24, 2013

WORKERS REMOVE AN ELECTION POSTER of German chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday in Stuttgart, Germany. Chancellor Merkel faces a delicate and lengthy task in forming a new government after winning Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election Sunday.

AP White House Correspondent

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Obama administration edged close to direct, highlevel talks with Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new government on Monday, with Secretary of State John Kerry slated to meet his Iranian counterpart this week and the White House weighing the risks and rewards of an encounter between President Barack Obama and Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, Hasan Rouhani.

An Obama-Rouhani exchange on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly would mark the first meeting at that high level for the two nations in more than 30 years. Such talks could signal a turning point in U.S.-Iranian relations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but also could be seen as a premature endorsement for a new Iranian government that has yet to answer key questions about the future of its disputed nuclear program.

Obama advisers said no meeting was scheduled.

But they added that the U.S. planned to take advantage of diplomatic opportunities while in New York and indicated they were not leaving a possible encounter between Obama and Rouhani to chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that anything would happen by happenstance on a relationship and an issue that is this important,â&#x20AC;? Ben Rhodes, Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy national security adviser, told reporters traveling with the president to New York.

The election of Rouhani, a moderate cleric, has led to speculation about poss i b l e progress on Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nuclear impasse with the U.S. Particularly Rouhani intriguing to American officials are Rouhaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assertions that his government has â&#x20AC;&#x153;complete authorityâ&#x20AC;? in nuclear negotiations. That would be a marked change from previous governments and their relationship with Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The U.S. and its allies have long suspected that Iran is trying to produce a nuclear weapon, though Tehran insists its nuclear activities are only for producing energy and for medical research.

American officials say Rouhaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s change in tone is driven by the Iranian publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustration with crippling economic sanctions levied by the U.S. But it is still unclear whether Iran is willing to take the steps the U.S. is seeking in order to ease the sanctions, including curbing uranium enrichment and shutting down the underground Fordo nuclear facility.

State Department officials said Kerry would seek to answer that question on Thursday when new Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif joins nuclear talks between the U.S. and five other world powers. Zarifâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation, which was announced Monday, sets up the first meeting in six years between an American secretary of state and an Iranian foreign minister, though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear whether the two men will break off from the group and hold separate one-on-one talks.

On Twitter, the U.S.educated Zarif called his meeting with Ashton â&#x20AC;&#x153;positive,â&#x20AC;? and he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Need new start under new circumstances.â&#x20AC;?

Germany to continues to stress austerity policy in euro crisis

By David McHugh AP Business Writer

FRANKFURT, GERMANY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The big win for Angela Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservative party was an endorsement

by German voters of her tough policies in tackling the euro currency unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government debt troubles.

So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect any big change in course from her.

Merkel ran for re-election on her basic formula: help financially weak countries but impose harsh conditions, such as deep budget cuts and politically painful economic reforms.

One fact that could affect her policies is that she will change coalition partners. Her previous one, the Free Democrats, did not make it into parliament. So sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to share power with one of two left-of-center parties, the Greens or â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more likely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the labor-union backed Social Democrats.

The Social Democrats campaigned for less emphasis on austerity in Europe, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re otherwise mostly in line with Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach.

Holger Schmieding, an economist at Berenberg Bank in London, says such a coalition would result in only â&#x20AC;&#x153;a minute softening of the German stance toward euro-crisis countries.â&#x20AC;?

ture and to help small businesses. That could help get growth going in places like Greece, Portugal and Spain. A chief complaint against Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies is that austerity lengthened recessions and worsened unemployment in those countries. The Social Democrats have called for more support for the EUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s European Investment Bank, which loans to small businesses that have been having trouble getting credit. But Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current government has recently already moved in that direction, offering to help businesses in Spain and Portugal to get financing. It has also relented on the pace at which EU member countries must meet the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirements to reduce deficits.

Debt sharing Merkelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new government will keep rejecting the idea of eurobonds, under which all 17 euro members would share responsibility for paying public debts. Such bonds would help solve the crisis because financially weaker countries would be able to borrow cheaply, ending concerns about their solvency. But richer countries like Germany would see their costs of borrowing increase. The Greens back eurobonds but lack the support to force the issue.

Growth A new government could be somewhat more Troubled banks Germany may comprowilling to fund European spending on infrastruc- mise on setting up a Euro-

pean Union-wide agency that could restructure failed or troubled banks so that taxpayers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to bail them out. The current finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, has been reluctant to set up such an agency, arguing it would require a yearslong effort to change EU treaties. He has advocated using a network of national regulators until that can happen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not clear whether Schaeuble will have the finance minister job in the new government.

Third Greek bailout Even Merkel and Schaeuble have conceded Greece may need more financial help, despite two earlier rounds of bailout loans from the eurozone rescue fund and the International Monetary Fund.

A new coalition might agree more easily to added help, possibly in the form of loan extensions, lower interest rates or a cut to the bailout loans to be repaid. Greeceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s additional needs are estimated at around 11 billion euros ($14.9 billion), much less than the first two bailouts, which totaled 240 billion euros ($324 billion).

But make no mistake â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the help would again come with tough conditions attached.

As Jennifer McKeown, an analyst at Capital Economics in London, put it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Germany will continue to advocate austerity at home and in the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s periphery.â&#x20AC;?

DAMASCUS, SYRIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Bashar Assad pledged in an interview broadcast Monday to honor an agreement to surrender Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stockpile of chemical weapons, but he said that rebels might try to block international arms inspectors from doing their work.

As battles continued across Syria, new Associated Press video of an attack Sunday night showed the regimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helicopters dropping b a r r e l bombs on opposition-held a r e a s , creating chaotic scenes of destrucAssad tion.

In a sign of worsening infighting among the rebels, a top al-Qaida commander in Syria was killed in an ambush by rival, Western-backed group â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an assassination sure to raise tensions among factions seeking to topple the regime.

Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments came as world leaders gathered in New York for the annual U.N. General Assembly, where the use of chemical weapons in Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s civil war was high on the agenda.

The Syrian leader told Chinese state TV that Damascus is dedicated to implementing the agreement reached between Russia and the U.S. to surrender its chemical weapons to international control. Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stockpile, he said, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;in safe areas and locations and under the full control of the Syrian Arab Army.â&#x20AC;?

Assad cautioned, however, that the rebels might block inspectors from reaching some of the locations, in order to frame the government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m referring to plac-

es where gunmen exist.

Those gunmen might want to stop the expertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arrival,â&#x20AC;? Assad told CCTV in the interview, which was shot Sunday in Damascus and broadcast Monday.

Under the agreement brokered Sept. 14 in Geneva, inspectors are to be in Syria by November and all components of the chemical weapons program are to be removed from the country or destroyed by the middle of next year.

The revelations of Syriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chemical weapons arsenal became public after an Aug. 21 attack near Damascus that a U.N. report found included the use of the nerve agent sarin.

Hundreds of people died in the attack that brought Washington to the brink of military intervention before the accord was struck between the U.S. and Russia.

The U.N. inspectors face enormous challenges, including maneuvering between rebel- and government-controlled territory. Last month, snipers opened fire on a U.N. convoy carrying a team on its way to investigate the Aug. 21 incident.

Opposition fighters have insisted they will also cooperate with any inspectors or experts who come to Syria.

Ralf Trapp, a former chemical arms inspector who is now a disarmament consultant, said Assad was legally obligated to let in inspectors under the chemical weapons treaty.

But, he cautioned, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they can use the security situation as an excuse. They can delay things.â&#x20AC;?

Iranian leader is worth a listen

EDITORIALS

Shelter support The Lawrence Community Shelter is worthy of city support, but there’s a limit to how much financial backing taxpayers should be expected to deliver.

I

n for a penny, in for a pound.

The city of Lawrence has invested too much in the Lawrence Community Shelter to now allow the shelter to fall into a serious financial bind. For that reason, it makes sense for the Lawrence City Commission to look favorably on a plan to finance a $725,000 loan to the shelter. However, it also makes sense for commissioners to make sure that loan is structured in a way that protects taxpayers and maintains the independence of the nonprofit shelter.

Shelter officials approached the commission about their plight last week. Renovations to the structure that serves as the shelter’s new home in eastern Lawrence cost about $600,000 more than expected, forcing the shelter to take out a short-term loan at a local bank. That loan is coming due soon, and the shelter needs another $100,000 to repair the structure’s roof.

“Truthfully,” the shelter’s treasurer told commissioners, “if you turn this down, I’m not sure what we will do.”

There may be room to question the financial management that brought the shelter to this point, but the first priority is to try to come up with a short-term solution.

To do that, commissioners directed city staff to draw up documents for the loan but also looked for ways to protect the city if the shelter ends up defaulting on that loan. Putting the loan in the form of a traditional mortgage on the real estate, would be one way to do that, and a couple of commissioners favored that strategy.

However, other commissioners said having a mortgage with the city might hamper the shelter’s ability to get bank financing for other projects and its ability to attract continued charitable support. Having the city hold a mortgage on the property, one commissioner said, might send the message that “the city is in charge” and willing to take a larger role in managing the shelter — which is not what the city or its taxpayers should want.

To their credit, shelter officials have made significant strides since moving to the new facility late last year. In the first eight months at the new site, 61 shelter residents have moved into full-time jobs thanks to a 13-week program designed to prepare them for the workforce. The number of police calls to the facility also have dropped to just 11 in that time, compared to 64 during the same period a year ago when the shelter was downtown.

The shelter certainly is worthy of city support, but as they move forward on this loan, city commissioners should be careful to protect taxpayers and also send the message to shelter officials that there is a limit to how much public financial assistance they should count on in the future.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Sept. 24, 1913: “Student control of discipline at the University is waning. If the YEARS student council concedes to the AGO demands of the University CounIN 1913 cil and discontinues the practice of forcing the freshmen to wear skull caps it will be allowed to continue as the governing body of the students. If the council decides that the freshmen shall wear their little caps as in the past, the power of student discipline will be usurped by the university council.

Call him the anti-Ahmadinejad.

In preparation for his speech at the U.N. General Assembly today (the same day as President Obama), the new Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, has conducted a diplomatic offensive of astonishing proportions, including an exchange of letters with Obama, network interviews, tweets, and an op-ed in the Washington Post.

Rouhani’s message: Iran is a responsible international actor with no intention of seeking a nuclear bomb. Subtext: No more bombastic denunciations of America and

Still, it’s clear that Rouhani is a leader to be taken seriously, the very opposite of an Ahmadinejad.”

the West or Holocaust denials at the U.N. podium or other forums.

“He recognizes that statements (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad made on Israel and the Holocaust caused Iran immense damage,” says Iran expert Karim Sadjadpour of the Carnegie Endowment.

“He is making a conscious effort to be the anti-Ahmadinejad.”

Skeptics will argue that Rouhani offers a change of style, not substance. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called him a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.”

However, while a dose of skepticism is healthy, there’s growing evidence that Rouhani is offering more than cosmetic changes.

We will know more soon: His U.N. speech, which is expected to include proposals to address concerns about Tehran’s nuclear program, could be the prelude to the first top-level U.S.-Iran talks

since Iran’s revolution in 1979. In the meantime, here are six reasons why this diplomatic push may have legs.

1. The economic sanctions imposed by the United States and United Nations on Iran’s oil sales and money transfers have worked. “The sanctions have been breaking the back of the Iranian economy and consumers,” says Haleh Esfandiari, director of the Middle East program at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars. “The cost of living is going up day by day; a tomato that costs $1 today will cost $1.50 tomorrow.” The Iranian administration is concerned that people might riot over food prices.

2. Rouhani appears to have the backing of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, for his diplomatic efforts, at least for now. Some experts believe the economic impact of sanctions convinced Khamenei; others think he may have more trust in Rouhani, the consummate insider, than in previous presidents. While the ayatollah’s ideology is rooted in deep anti-Americanism, Sadjadpour thinks he might countenance détente with the Great Satan, if not rapprochement.

3. Rouhani insists Iran isn’t seeking weapons of mass destruction “including nuclear weapons, nor will we ever.” Of course, this leaves unresolved the fact that nuclear experts

believe Iran was seeking to build a weapon prior to 2003 and still wants a breakout capacity. But Tehran’s intent will become more clear if talks resume. And Rouhani’s choice of chief negotiator is promising: Mohammad Javad Zarif, the U.S.-educated and pragmatic former Iranian ambassador to the United Nations, who was sidelined under Ahmadinejad.

4. Rouhani understands Ahmadinejad’s threats toward Israel and Holocaust denial badly damaged Iran’s image. He and Zarif have engaged in some fascinating Twitter diplomacy, sending out Rosh Hashanah greetings earlier this month. When Nancy Pelosi’s daughter tweeted that the new year would be sweeter if Iran ceased its Holocaust denial, Zarif responded: “Iran never denied it. The man who was perceived to be denying it is now gone.” Rouhani and Zarif have come under attack from Iranian hard-liners for this Twitter offensive. That may be the reason why, when Rouhani was asked in an NBC interview if he believed the Holocaust was a myth, he punted: “I’m not a historian.

I’m a politician.” However, when asked further about Israel, he stated: “We are not … looking for war with any nations.” This message appears to be the bottom line Rouhani is trying to convey.

5. Rouhani seems to rec-

ognize that Iran needs better relations with the United States (and its Gulf allies) to calm spreading Sunni-Shiite violence in the region. Right now, Iranian policies are fueling sectarian bloodshed, by backing Hezbollah and arming the Syrian regime, so it’s hard to take seriously Rouhani’s suggestion that Tehran could mediate the Syrian conflict. But the Iranians do share Washington’s interest in curbing a new regional threat from Sunni jihadis, including al-Qaida, and that could provide the basis for beginning a dialogue.

6. Paradoxically, the U.S. decision not to bomb Syria may have made it easier for Rouhani to negotiate seriously on the nuclear issue, since it indicates that Washington is not bent on regime change — in Damascus or Tehran.

That said, it’s uncertain if Iran will do what’s necessary to convince the world it isn’t bent on building its bombmaking capacity, or that Rouhani will be willing to wait for sanctions relief until Iran proves its good intent.

Still, it’s clear that Rouhani is a leader to be taken seriously, the very opposite of an Ahmadinejad. That’s why his speech is the most eagerly awaited moment at the United Nations today.

PUBLIC FORUM

The Undeserving To the editor: I want to express my appreciation to Lynn Jenkins and her colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives for their steadfast efforts to keep health care from the Undeserving (i.e., the poor). They just voted again — for the 24th, 25th time; I’ve lost count — to abolish the Affordable Care Act. They are like Sisyphus pushing the rock or a dung beetle pushing ... well, never mind. They seem to be acting in good conscience from a philosophy of Social Darwinism: Them that have earned it deserve it; them that didn’t don’t.

And our Republican governor certainly has done his part by refusing to allow expansion of Medicaid to needy but obviously Undeserving (i.e., poor) citizens of Kansas.

Actually, the central domestic issue facing our great nation is the unfair distribution of the wealth in our great nation.

There still is too much of it in the hands of the Undeserving (i.e., the poor) who don’t know much about money anyway.

Republicans in Congress and in Topeka are doing their best to retain as much wealth as possible for the Truly Deserving (i.e., the rich). Please remember our congressional representatives and our governor at election time.

Joe Douglas, Lawrence

Legislative bully To the editor: On Sept. 20, Kansas University placed Professor Guth on administrative leave because of a less-than-140-character comment on Twitter. This was at the insistence of a “politically powerful” state legislator, Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson. It’s obvious to me that Bruce cannot comprehend nuances in a short statement. It’s also obvious that the “politically powerful” Bruce has threatened KU and is forcing the administration to take this action.

This is simply another example of lawmakers and tea partiers saying it’s

OK if we do it, but it’s not OK if you do it. You can’t read or watch anything without running into everything from snide comments to bull’s-eyes to racism to outright threats of violence and death coming from the “Right.” Yet all they have to do is say mea culpa and apologize, and everything is OK until they do it the next time.

However, let someone not from the “Right” do the same type of things and their livelihood is threatened and they’re in danger of being fired. This is what happens when one party has an iron boot on the throat of the people of Kansas.

Bullies are the ones who pillory people at will. Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson has demonstrated himself to be a bully of the first order. (I wonder how much campaign money he received from the NRA?) Ralph Reed, Lawrence

Intimidation tactics To the editor: The headline of “Professor put on leave; lawmakers call for firing” on Sept.

21 did not reflect the most important part of this story. I am not supporting what Guth said, but I do support free speech. I don’t always like what some people say, but that is the price we pay for this most important freedom.

The real story is the comment made

by State Sen. Greg Smith. He stated that unless Guth leaves Kansas University, he will not recommend KU to future students or support any budget proposals regarding KU. So here we have an elected official willing to weaken the educational future of our children and intimidate KU because one of its employees exercised his right of free speech. Smith is trying to use the power of his elected position to influence KU because he doesn’t like what someone said!

Smith is certainly entitled to the same freedoms as Guth, but if a private citizen tried to intimidate an elected official it could be considered illegal. I find Smith’s comments reprehensible and a sad reflec-

tion on much of what is currently going on in our political landscape. Many of those in the U.S. Senate and House are doing the same thing by threatening our country with insolvency unless the Affordable Health Care act is repealed. This type of behavior hurts our country more than any of the issues used to falsely justify it. By the way, shame on KU for taking any action against Guth at all.

Bill Klein, Lawrence

Hospital funds To the editor: The Sunday Journal-World article, “Rural Kansas hospitals may face jeopardy,” is an excellent forewarning of what may very well happen to a multitude of Kansas hospitals. This would be a huge blow to critical health care for many people who live in smaller cities.

What is not mentioned is another critical element to the financial survival of these hospitals, as well as undermining the financial support of larger, better funded hospitals, such as our Lawrence Memorial Hospital. That element is the governor’s decision to not expand eligibility for the state’s Medicaid program. This would cause a significant drop in the money hospitals receive to help care for patients who can’t pay their medical bills.

This subject has been discussed before in our paper, including the fact that the federal government would fully fund the expansion initially, eventually dropping to 90 percent. The governor suggests the state has no additional money to assist the poor with their health care needs.

Decorated DT Combs leaves â&#x20AC;Ś

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

The Marquel Combs era at Kansas is over before it ever began.

Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior defensive lineman on Monday asked for and was granted a release to transfer to schools outside of the Big 12, KU coach Charlie Weis announced in a press release.

The news of Combsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; departure brings to an end the career of the player who last December started the #DreamTeam2013 move-

â&#x20AC;Ś but Kansas should be just fine

ment on Twitter, which referenced KUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior-collegeheavy recruiting haul. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marquel was a great factor in our recruitment of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signing class,â&#x20AC;? Weis said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to wish him well in his future endeavors.â&#x20AC;?

Combs, a native of Memphis, Tenn., came to Kansas from Pierce College in Los Angeles. He did not see any Jeff Jacobsen/Kansas Athletics Photo game action during his time at KU and leaves with a good MARQUEL COMBS PARTICIPATES in a preseason drill.

ESPN: Self top coach for NBA

So, defensive tackle Marquel Combs is leaving Kansas Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program after spending less than four months in Lawrence.

On the surface, the news certainly comes as a surprise. But a closer look at all that has unfolded during his time at KU provides evidence that we should have seen this coming.

These are the moments that sports writers tend to regret. We spend months hyping up a player weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen play who has a big name, a shiny ranking

Sunflower League football divides

By Benton Smith

gbedore@ljworld.com

basmith@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self has been faring awfully well in ESPN. com surveys this past summer into fall.

Self, who in the past several weeks was ranked the No. 2 recruiter of all college coaches (behind John Calipari) and No. 4 Xâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach (behind Tom Izzo, John Beilein and Rick Pitino), on Monday was named the college coach most qualified to run an NBA franchise successfully.

ESPNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeff Goodman polled 50 NBA coaches and front-office personnel, who ranked Self No. 1 coach with NBA potential, followed by Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Krzyzewski, Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fred Hoiberg, Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Billy Donovan and Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Izzo. Others who received votes: former KU player and current Tulsa coach Danny Manning, Pitino (Louisville), Tommy Amaker (Harvard), Tony Bennett (Virginia), Jim Boeheim (Syracuse), Anthony Grant (Alabama) and Greg Lansing (Indiana State). â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Self) does everything well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; player relations, game plan, booster/press/ corporate and has a big-time presence,â&#x20AC;? one NBA source told Goodman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also think he is smart enough to know that he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as hard on guys as he is in practice in the NBA.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has a great demeanor, holds the kids accountable, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all about him â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like a lot of college guys,â&#x20AC;? another source told Goodman.

A third source said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an outstanding teacher, but not too much of a dictator that would turn guys off.

He is strong enough and has the right kind of personality to get guys to buy in. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coached a ton of NBA picks and has played pick and roll in his system.â&#x20AC;?

Of Self, Goodman wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;At one point not too long ago, the 50-year-old was considered primarily a recruiter.

However, that changed a couple of seasons ago when he took the Jayhawks to the national title game with a relatively ho-hum roster. Self has led KU to nine straight Big 12 titles and won a national title in 2008.â&#x20AC;?

Scheduling just got a little more flexible for the Sunflower Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 football programs.

Beginning next season, the league will be split into two divisions, according to a proposal accepted by league school principals this past week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a move which came about due to the desire of some head coaches to play opponents outside of the league during the regular season.

Sunflower League teams will continue to play their district opponents the last three weeks of the season, but in the five weeks before that they will play the league teams within their division or pod. The first week of the season would be left open for each program to play any team it chooses.

The details of who will be in what division havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been finalized quite yet, Free State High athletic director Mike Hill said, but more clarity will come once the Kansas State High School Activities Association announces football district assignments for the next two years.

For the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two Sunflower representatives, Lawrence and Free State, the date of their annual City Showdown would depend on how district assignments shake out.

Free State could end up in a western district with Topeka and Manhattan programs, and if the Firebirds and Lions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the same league division in that scenario, they could potentially play in the new open week to start the season.

Lions swept at home quad

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

In the middle of a doubles comeback, Lawrence Highâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Audrina Hidalgo hit a hard smash that bounded by her Shawnee Mission West opponents for an apparent point.

There was only one problem: Hidalgo clipped the hair of teammate Natalie Cote first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt so bad. I thought I hit her in the head,â&#x20AC;? Hidalgo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was freaking out.â&#x20AC;?

The point went to West, and that kind of hard luck seemed to follow LHS Monday, as the Lions were swept by Blue Valley West, SM Northwest and SM West in their home quad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All three of those are quality teams from Kansas City,â&#x20AC;? LHS coach Chris Marshall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, we learned from our mistakes and watched some good teams and realized what we are trying to accomplish.â&#x20AC;?

Hidalgo and Cote came closest to a victory at No. 2 doubles, as they rallied against Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kathryn Brown and Cady Pendelton.

After falling behind 5-3, LHS pulled closer thanks partly to strong serving from Cote, who delivered four aces in one game to close the deficit to 7-6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go

THE LIONSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; WHITNEY SIMONS RETURNS A SHOT in her singles match.

One example was using a rare â&#x20AC;&#x153;reverseâ&#x20AC;? formation. Because both players prefer their forehand shots to their backhand ones, they often lined up on the same side of the court as their serving teammate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the few teams that try different formations,â&#x20AC;?

Marshall said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and by playing different formations, it makes the opponent think about their shots a little bit more.â&#x20AC;?

Hidalgo and Cote decided to go with the strategy after working on it some in practice last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of our first match, we were down,â&#x20AC;? Hidalgo said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so we decided to try something new, and we liked it.â&#x20AC;?

Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 doubles team of Yelena Birt and Caroline Baloga also stayed competitive against Shawnee Mission West, losing an 8-4 decision to Jessica Brewer and Abby Banning.

The Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Whitney Simons, Kendall Pritchard and Erin Ventura faced tough competition on the singles side, as the quad featured the fourth-, fifth- and 10th-place finishers at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6A state meet.

LHS will play host to Manhattan on Thursday.

the way that I want them to, but I was really happy with how they were this game,â&#x20AC;?

Cote said of her serves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased.â&#x20AC;?

Though Hidalgo and Cote eventually fell, 8-6, Marshall was encouraged that they made adjustments to play to

Peyton, Broncos cruise past Raiders DENVER (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Peyton Manning slapped his hands together five, six, seven times and barked out the signals. A few seconds later, Wes Welker was all alone, cradling the quarterbackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest touchdown pass.

All part of another impeccably crafted victory for Manning and the Denver Broncos, who rolled over the Oakland Raiders 37-21 Monday night. Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 127 points lead the league and are 31 more than second-place Green Bay. Manning went 32-for-37 for 374 yards and set a few more records while outwitting the overmatched Raiders (1-2). â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see flashes of good things,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re executing and not making mistakes, we can go the distance. We can go 80 yards, take advantage of a short field.â&#x20AC;?

Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 touchdown passes are one more than Tom Bradyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old record for the first three games, set in 2011. Manning still has yet to throw an interception, which matches a record held by Michael Vick, who also threw 12 touchdowns before his first pick in 2010.

As much as the numbers, it was Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deciphering of the Oakland defense that made jaws drop in this one.

His first touchdown, a twoyard pass to Eric Decker, came after a subtle play action fake that froze the defense and left Decker wide open in the back of the end zone.

Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s targets for the next two touchdowns â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Welker and Julius Thomas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have defenders within three steps of them. Wide open. A sure sign that Manning had diagnosed the defense he was looking at well before the snap and knew exactly where he wanted to go with the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of them did a good job competing,â&#x20AC;? Manning said of his receivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we were

SUMMARY

DENVER QUARTERBACK PEYTON MANNING (18) THROWS a pass against the Raiders in the second quarter on Monday in Denver.

The Broncos won, 37-21. in a challenge, because Oakland has good cover corners. Mix up their coverage well. Guys did a good job getting open versus man, and finding holes in the zones. All of them did a good job running with the ball after the catch.â&#x20AC;?

OK, so the evening wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t perfect. There were the five incompletions, though two of them were flat-out drops, and another two hit receivers in the hands, but would have been difficult catches. The Broncos settled for three field goals and had to punt once. Rookie Montee Ball lost another fumble. Denver came a field goal short of reaching 40 points for the third straight game.

And Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prediction that Chris Clark would be a seamless replacement for injured Ryan Clady as his blind-

side protector didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly pan out. Lamarr Houston beat Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new starting left tackle badly in the third quarter for a sack and strip that halted a drive that had reached the Raiders 13.

But Denver was ahead 30-7 at that point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are things we have to iron out,â&#x20AC;? Manning said.

And, really, any complaints about Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense seem like quibbling given whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone on so far this season. The record for touchdown passes in a season is 50, set by Brady in 2007. If he keeps up this pace, Manning will throw 64.

As for Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest rival, the Raiders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; since Manning arrived, the Broncos have outscored them 100-40 in three runaway wins.

All of which simply gave Manning the ball back more quickly.

On the first play of the next drive, he hit Decker, who spun away from his defender for a 61yard gain. Three plays later, the Broncos were up 17 again after Manning found Thomas on an out route for a 13-yard score.

NCAA president: Changes to governance likely to come soon GRAPEVINE, TEXAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; President Mark Emmert said Monday he expects â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of changeâ&#x20AC;? for the governance structure of Division I sports over the next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said publicly on a number of occasions the only thing everybody agrees on with Division I governance is that it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? Emmert said during his opening remarks at a meeting of more than 100 Division I faculty athletics representatives. He later said NCAA directors are looking at the next six to eight months in particular. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the board anticipates a lot of change,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going into their October and January meetings expecting to look at a whole different governance model for Division I. So it will be significantly different.â&#x20AC;?

The NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual convention is in January.

The board hopes to adopt proposals at its meeting next April, and then have a special meeting for the full Emmert membership next summer.

The discussion focused on transparency and the public perception of the NCAA. Emmert has received sharp criticism for months, for everything from the unprecedented sanctions handed to Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse scandal to the botched investigation of alleged misconduct in University of Miami athletics.

He, and the NCAA in general, have been singled out by conference commissioners, professional athletes and even current college football players.

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster, who says in an upcoming documentary he accepted money while at Tennessee, recently called the NCAA a bully. Some college players wore patches Saturday with the letters APU, standing for All Players United, to call for NCAA reform.

Additionally, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive suggested last week that the NCAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules on governing agents are part of the problem amid reports of possible problems at Alabama and Tennessee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talked to Mike about it, so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak for him,â&#x20AC;? Emmert said Monday.

The third-year president is fully aware of the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception of the NCAA. Emmert said the board and other NCAA officials have concerns about that. The public sees him as more of a commissioner of a professional sport, which Emmert said is not the case.

He said getting people to understand the NCAA is more than just him or the board of directors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; decisions are driven by the

hundreds of member schools â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is a difficult task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To think that the president of the NCAA has ever been anything like the commissioner of baseball is ludicrous,â&#x20AC;? Emmert said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but yet that would be the most popular perception I suspect that people have of what my job is.â&#x20AC;?

The discussion did touch briefly on whether the NCAA would consider creating a new big-school Bowl Division â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in essence, splitting up the current Division I. A packet distributed at the session called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Principles and Model for New Governance Structureâ&#x20AC;? suggests that FBS institutions and conferences that are more closely aligned in issues and athletics resources form a new division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The simpler the governance structure, the better,â&#x20AC;? the packet states.

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The San Francisco 49ers are prepared to go forward without star linebacker Aldon Smith for as long as it takes for him to get clean, healthy and improve his life.

Smith was placed on the reserve nonfootball injury list Monday as he enters rehab for substance abuse and begins what team CEO Jed York has termed an indefinite absence.

Goodmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey story is available at http:// es.pn/1gToIYy

Alexander lists top six: Cliff Alexander, a 6-8 senior forward from Chicago Curie High who is ranked No. 4 in the recruiting Class of 2014 by Rivals. com, on Monday tweeted his top six schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NO ORDER ... Michigan State, Illinois, Memphis, DePaul, Kansas, Arizona,â&#x20AC;? Alexander wrote.

On Sunday, he told ESPN Chicago that he also was considering Baylor, Indiana and Louisville. Alexander, who has visited Arizona and DePaul, will visit KU for the Oct. 4 Late Night in the Phog, Memphis on Oct. 18 and Illinois on Oct. 26. He told ESPN he expects to commit to a college in December and sign a letter-of-intent in April.

Alexander will compete in the FIBA Under 18 3 x 3 world championships Thursday through Sunday in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Wedd said different coaches will use the flexibility differently and gave the example of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lions (0-3), who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much experience coming into the season.

With an open date, Wedd could have scheduled an opening-week opponent that would help his team gain confidence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have the ability to schedule one game, there are times when you really need a win,â&#x20AC;? Wedd said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and the Sunflower League doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let you come up for air.â&#x20AC;?

Whatever happens, Lisher and other league coaches donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to shed any tears about the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new format. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a fan of the way it is now, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a fan of changing it,â&#x20AC;? Lisher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gonna play whoever they tell me to play. I always have.â&#x20AC;?

MAJOR-LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Pirates end playoff drought The Associated Press

National League Pirates 2, Cubs 1 CHICAGO — The Pittsburgh Pirates are going to the playoffs for the first time in 21 years, clinching at least a National League wild card Monday night when they beat the Chicago Cubs and the Washington Nationals lost to St. Louis.

It will be Pittsburgh’s first trip to the postseason since Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland and Co. won three straight NL East titles from 1990-92. Bonds then left for San Francisco as a free agent, and the smallbudget Pirates piled up 20 consecutive losing records — the longest streak Charles Rex Arbogast/AP Photo in the four major profesPITTSBURGH RELIEF PITCHER JASON GRILLI, LEFT, PICKS UP catcher Russell Martin sional sports.

Reds 3, Mets 2, 10 innings CINCINNATI — Shin-Soo Choo drove in the winning run with a single off the wall in the 10th inning, and Cincinnati secured a playoff spot moments after beating the New York Mets.

Second-place Cincinnati clinched at least an NL wild card when Washington lost to first-place St. Louis just a few minutes after the Reds’ game ended. Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said there would be no celebration of a wild-card clinching, not with a second straight NL Central title still in play.

Cardinals 4, Nationals 3 ST. LOUIS — Carlos Beltran homered, Adam Wainwright earned his 18th win, and St. Louis beat Washington, eliminating the Nationals from playoff contention.

Looking for their first NL Central title since 2009, the Cardinals maintained a two-game lead over Cincinnati and Pittsburgh and reduced their magic number to four.

All three teams are headed to the postseason. The Reds and Pirates both won Monday night, clinching at least a wild-card berth when Washington lost.

Chiefs getting off to fast starts KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs are all about fast starts these days.

They’ve started fast in games, taking the lead in the first quarter of each of them, and carrying that advantage into halftime twice. And they’ve started fast on the season, beating the Jaguars, Cowboys and Eagles to surpass their win total from all of last year.

While that may seem like something to scoff about so early in the season, consider that Kansas City never led a game in regulation until Week 10 a year ago.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid insisted that he’d rather score most than first, but he also said there’s value in getting on the board

early. It helps build confidence throughout the team, while also allowing players to settle in for the rest of the game.

“I like to score first — that’s a good thing — but that doesn’t always happen,” Reid said. “I don’t know if that stat necessarily carries over to wins — there are some other ones that are more important — but it surely doesn’t hurt.”

Especially for a team that struggled to start fast last season.

The Chiefs actually trailed in the opener at Jacksonville when a blocked punt resulted in a safety, but they bounced back to score three touchdowns before halftime.

They coasted the rest of

the way to a 28-2 victory that was every bit as dominant as the final score indicated.

In their home opener against Dallas, the Chiefs marched downfield for a touchdown in the game’s opening minutes.

It proved to be a critical score, too, because neither offense did much the rest of the way. Kansas City wound up holding on for a 17-16 victory.

Then last Thursday night in Philadelphia, the Chiefs got a field goal from Ryan Succop in the opening minutes before a picksix by safety Eric Berry gave them a 10-point lead.

That seemed to deflate the Eagles and their high-powered offense, which never managed to get on track.

The Chiefs stoically put the game away in the second half for a 26-16 victory.

Just like that, the Chiefs were off to a 3-0 start.

Brimming with confidence, too.

“I think confidence starts from within,” cornerback Sean Smith said.

“If you’re not confident in the way you prepare and work and study, I don’t know what to say about you. But our confidence started back in OTAs and minicamps. We knew we’ve had something special here for a long time.”

Now, the rest of the league is starting to see it.

One of the biggest reasons for the early success in game is turnovers. The Chiefs were minus-24 in differential last season, last

TEXAS COACH MACK BROWN, RIGHT, WATCHES FROM THE SIDELINES during the second half of the Longhorns’ victory over Kansas State on Saturday in Austin, Texas.

Nonleague games tougher for Big 12 this season The Associated Press

Mack Brown’s team at Texas is feeling much better after getting into Big 12 play.

After ugly nonconference losses to BYU and Mississippi, a win over Kansas State in their league opener provided a fresh start for the Longhorns.

“I do feel a difference sense,” Brown said Monday. “Everybody has got new hope, so it’s really like two different seasons.”

Once the Big 12 gets through this last weekend in September, there will be no more nonconference games in the regular season. Then at least league teams will be beating up on each other.

There have already been eight nonconference losses, twice as many as the Big 12 had throughout the regular season last year.

Big 12 teams are 19-8 against nonconference opponents, with three such games left to play this weekend.

“Not only the Big 12, but across the country, there’s a very huge amount of parity, and I’ve mentioned that over the last three or four years,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said during the weekly Big 12 coaches teleconference.

“It’s great for the fans. It’s great for everybody other than the coaches. There

will be challenges week to week.”

Last year, the Big 12 was 26-4 in its nonconference games played during the regular season — the mark was 27-3 in 2011, the league’s first season with 10 teams and a round-robin schedule. Even in 2010, when the league still had 12 teams and each played four nonconference games instead of three, the Big 12 was 40-8 in the regular season against outside competition.

No. 11 Oklahoma State, coming off an open date after winning its three nonconference games, plays its Big 12 opener Saturday at West Virginia (2-2).

West Virginia suffered its first shutout loss since 2001, losing 37-0 last weekend to Maryland when the Mountaineers had only 175 total yards. West Virginia lost its Big 12 opener at Oklahoma more than two weeks ago and will be the first to play two conference games already.

“You want to put your best foot forward when it comes to conference games, there’s no question,” WVU coach Dana Holgorsen said. “Last week against Maryland, that meant something too.

Unfortunately we didn’t play very good, I didn’t coach very good. ... Now that we’re in Big 12 play, each and every one of them count.”

Iowa State (0-2) plays Thursday night at Tulsa to wrap up its nonconference slate. On Saturday, No. 14 Oklahoma (3-0) travels to No. 22 Notre Dame and TCU (1-2) is home against SMU. No. 19 Baylor (3-0), the nation’s highest-scoring team at 69.7 points a game, and No. 24 Texas Tech (40) have the weekend off.

So do Texas, Kansas State and Kansas before it’s all Big 12 games through the first weekend in December.

“It’s really a lot more exciting now than in the preseason or out-of-conference games,” Brown said.

This is the second open date in three weeks for the Bears, whose next game is Oct. 5 at home in its Big 12 opener against West Virginia in a rematch of that wild game last year the Mountaineers won 70-63.

“We’d like to keep rolling along, but maybe on the flip side, we need a little down time and settle down and then get ready to get up and go into conference play,” Baylor coach Art Briles.

The Bears have the league’s longest winning streak at seven games.

That includes their final three conference games last season, a bowl victory over UCLA and the three lopsided wins to start this year.

STILLWATER, OKLA. (AP) — Oklahoma State has had considerable success winning on the road recently and has plenty of confidence heading to West Virginia this weekend for its Big 12 Conference opener.

Coming off an early bye week, No. 11 Oklahoma State (3-0) has won its last three games away from Boone Pickens Stadium and has a 16-5 record on the road since the start of 2010.

Rallying around an ‘us against them’ mindset has paid off for the Cowboys in hostile territory.

“When you’re going to go on the road and play against 50, 60, 70,000 people who don’t like you and want you to fail, you have to get excited for that,” said sophomore quarterback J.W. Walsh. “There’s not a better feeling almost than being able to go out there and shut up 70,000 people.”

Several Oklahoma State players noted that coach Mike Gundy has referenced the movie “300,” which features a small group banding together to battle overwhelming odds and a much larger army.

“When you go on the road, we’ll travel with 70 players, give or take a few, and with staff, our travel party on an airplane will be about 115,” Gundy said of the typical road contest. “But when you get there, it’s 115 people against however many people their stadium holds, for the most part. We’ve always challenged our team that way to get them to come together as a group and play hard and that gives us the best chance to win.”

Heading into Morgantown will feature another interesting wrinkle for the Cowboys, since third-year Mountaineers coach Dana Holgorsen served as OSU offensive coordinator in 2010.

in the league, and has six turnovers in a Week 4 loss to San Diego. But through their first three games under Reid, they’ve picked off four passes and picked up five fumbles, and their plus-nine differential is the best in the NFL. “Points and turnovers are the two most important things that you have as a football team,” Reid said. “If you turn the ball over you’re losing football games, and if your takeaway ratio is high then normally you’re winning.

Those are two important stat points.”

Another one is sacks — the Chiefs have 15 of them already this season, two more than second-place Dallas for the league lead.

Those sacks have not only

kept opposing teams for putting drives together early in games, but have also given the Chiefs splendid field position.

That wasn’t the case a year ago, when Kansas City managed 27 sacks the entire season.

Very little about the Chiefs this season resembles last year, though.

That team never had a lead in regulation until Week 10 against Pittsburgh, tying the 1929 record of the Buffalo Bisons for most games without ever leading in regulation.

“We’re not looking at the past,” running back Jamaal Charles said. “It’s the future now, so whatever we need to do to sustain drives and put points on the board for our team helps a lot.”

Woman has difficult time tolerating fiance’s mother Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

are impossible, and I feel I need to walk away. She has a psychiatric disorder, although I am not sure of the diagnosis. My fiance’s grandmother indicates it is schizophrenia, so I don’t want to push her too far.

We are getting married soon at a courthouse. During this unplanned and uninvited trip, she said it is too expensive for her and my fiance’s father to travel to see us get married.

I am fine with this, but my fiance is upset that his parents do not care

ABC debuts its slate of new shows The new sitcom “The Goldbergs” (8 p.m., ABC) tries to update “The Wonder Years” to the 1980s, with limited success.

Adam (voiced by Patton Oswalt, played by Sean Giambrone) narrates the series from the present day and wants to convince us that his Reagan-decade childhood was warm and wacky.

Unfortunately, we can see it unfold on screen, where everybody seems to be trying way too hard.

Wendi McLendon-Covey plays the smothering mom with too much eye shadow and no personal boundaries. Jeff Garlin has found a nice role as Murray, the slob father, a recent heart-attack victim given to gruff utterances that are “translated” via subtitles into supportive messages. George Segal is reduced to doting granddad.

Adam’s older brother, Barry (Troy Gentile), is a charmless hothead and his sister, Erica (Hayley Orrantia), remains a complete cipher.

The show’s take on the 1980s seems rather scattershot. The episode is titled “Circle of Driving,” referring to a cryptic line that Murray repeats. That’s clearly inspired by the song “Circle of Life,” from the Disney animated musical “The Lion King,” a pop artifact from 1994. How ‘80s is that?

“Trophy Wife” (8:30 p.m., ABC) does a surprising job of imbuing a potentially unlikable character with considerable charm. After drinks and karaoke, perky party girl Kate (Malin Akerman) literally falls into the lap of lawyer Pete (Bradley Whitford), sending both to the emergency room.

She soon becomes his inappropriately dressed third wife and an unprepared “mom” for his three kids. She also has to deal with his icy doctor ex-wife, Diane (Marcia Gay Harden), as well as Jackie (Michaela Watkins), his spacecadet second wife who still holds a torch for Pete.

Whitford is all but eclipsed by his brood of kids and “sister wives.” Pete had better be a pretty good lawyer though, because Kate’s character, while occasionally likable, seems to be a direct infringement on every comedic role Cameron Diaz has ever played.

Tonight’s other season premieres

An explosion rattles Parsons on “NCIS” (7 p.m., CBS).

Sam and Deeks recover on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS).

A naval officer becomes a “Person of Interest” (9 p.m., CBS).

An arsonist targets Severide on “Chicago Fire” (9 p.m., NBC).

BIRTHDAYS Actor-singer Herb Jeffries is 102. News anchor Lou Dobbs is 68. Actor Kevin Sorbo is 55. Actress Megan Ward is 44. Olympic gold medal gymnast Paul Hamm is 31. Actor Erik Stocklin is 31. Actor Kyle Sullivan is 25.

enough to make it work.

They can afford the airline tickets.

I think it is my fiance’s place to explain his hurt feelings to them. Do I continue to be polite about it? I am currently working long hours to avoid being in my home while she is visiting. Is there a better way to handle this? — Z. Dear Z.: Yes, please continue to be polite.

We recognize that his mother’s behavior is difficult, but you see her infrequently, so try to tolerate her as best you can for your fiance’s sake. He obviously cares a great deal about his parents. He should tell them how important it is to him that they attend the wedding, but he cannot control their response. We hope they will make the effort to be there, and we hope you will be supportive without commiserating too much.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Tuesday, Sept. 24 This year you see the big picture more easily. If you are single, you naturally could start meeting a very different type of person. If you are attached, as a couple, the two of you benefit from making a public commitment to each other.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) You might awaken thinking about a dream. By the time you are done with breakfast, you will find a way to integrate an idea from this reverie into your life. Tonight: Friends delight in your originality.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You might feel like heading in a different direction in order to achieve better results. You might believe that you are able to tackle a financial risk, as you live and act on your innate optimism.

Tonight: Make sure that your checkbook is balanced before you walk out the door.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You’ll feel as if you have many opportunities, but you want to choose the right one. Know that there is an element of confusion around you. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might sense that there is much more going on than meets the eye. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You project a strong, magnetic personality. In fact, a secret admirer might reveal him- or herself as a result. Tonight: Go with the flow.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You assume responsibility

UNIVERSAL CROSSWORD

WHY NOT? By Carl Cranby

9/24

Dear Annie: I’m responding to the comment from “Germantown, Tenn.,” about store employees being forced to stand all day.

That’s part of their job description and how products get to the shelves. In the store that I manage, the older employees never have complained about standing all day. — The Manager Dear Manager: The fact that your employees don’t complain doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering. Standing is OK if you get to walk around, but otherwise, it is hard on the feet and back.

naturally, and others count on that fact. A loved one has a way of wrapping you around his or her finger and making you think a lot about him or her. Tonight: Discussions about a situation in vague terms might irritate you.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You can see what others don’t today. Detach, and you will gain a new perspective. Tonight: Go with the unexpected option.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Someone might seek you out for what he or she believes is an important decision. You could view this issue far differently from how this person does. Tonight: Opt for an old-fashioned date.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be ready to adjust to others’ requests. They might not be handling matters as you would like, but they come close with some creative touches. Tonight: Accept an invitation out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be eager to jump into the fray and lead the way out. You clearly see how to get the outcome you desire. Tonight: Take it easy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might think that others understand more than they do. Tonight: A love interest is batting his or her eyelashes at you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You will feel centered and ready to run with the ball. When you see a situation from someone else’s perspective, your first reaction might be confusion. Tonight: Stay close to home.
