JASON HERING, OF LAWRENCE, with the Wetlands Preservation Organization and KU Eco Justice, works Tuesday morning at the Haskell Eco Walk area, just north of 31st Street and across from the Baker Wetlands. Hering and various organizations and volunteers are creating ramps, walkways and trails through the wetlands areas on the north side of 31st Street. The Wetlands Preservation Organization was an unsuccessful plaintiff in the lawsuit to stop the South Lawrence Trafficway.

The more than 20-year legal battle to stop the South Lawrence Trafficway from running through the Baker Wetlands is now officially over.

The deadline for opponents of the roadway to seek a Supreme Court review of a federal appellate

court decision clearing the way for the road came and went on Tuesday. Representatives for plaintiffs in the case confirmed they did not file the paperwork seeking a Supreme Court review of the decision, which means the appellate court victory for the roadway is final.

Sandusky gets at least 30 years, denies wrongdoing FORMER PENN STATE assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, center, leaves the Centre County Courthouse Tuesday after being sentenced in Bellefonte, Pa.

BELLEFONTE, PA. — In what sounded at times like a locker room pep talk, Jerry Sandusky rambled in his red prison suit about being the underdog in the fourth quarter, about forgiveness, about dogs and about the movie “Seabiscuit.”

Noel Fisher probably never imagined that getting involved as a student volunteer on President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign would lead to a personal meet-and-greet with the president himself.

But that’s what happened Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio, where Fisher, a 2012 graduate of Lawrence High School, was among a handful of students who greeted the president as he stepped off Air Force One. Fisher “It was really cool,” Fisher said. “I’ve never been around any presidential figure, ever, and seeing Barack Obama was really cool.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS

November 1990: County residents vote 13,679 to 10,815 in support of $4 million in bonds for the South Lawrence Trafficway. The bond election is challenged in court but is ultimately upheld by the Kansas Supreme Court in July 1992.

April 1994: The Douglas County Commission stops construction planning for the eastern leg of the trafficway and orders a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement to study possible impacts the road may have on adjacent Haskell Indian Nations University.

November 1996: The western nine miles of the SLT opens to traffic.

1998: A federal judge halts work on the project until a Supplemental Impact Statement is completed on the project.

March 2000: The final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement is released and recommends that the roadway not be built.

the fall of 2013. The road could be open by the fall of 2016.

A Supreme Court review of the case was not widely expected by attorneys. The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in July unanimously upheld a lower court’s ruling that said all the necessary permits for the wetlands portion of the project had been properly obtained.

Even if plaintiffs had filed for a review from the Supreme Court, the court rejects most requests for appeal.

La Brie said her group was advised it would cost “several thousand” dollars just to file the appeal.

But La Brie said her group does believe the trafficway project may still face some funding

April 2001: KDOT officials make public a proposal to build the trafficway along a 32nd Street route, which would move the road off Haskell Indian Nations University property.

May 2008: After years of design and study, the final federal permit for the SLT project is issued.

October 2008: Area environmentalists, Haskell students and members of an area Native American tribe file a federal lawsuit to block construction of the trafficway through the Baker Wetlands.

November 2010: A federal judge rules the SLT has the necessary federal permits to begin construction through the wetlands.

June 2011: State commits $192 million in funding to complete the South Lawrence Trafficway.

July 2012: The U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals upholds the federal court ruling on a unanimous 3-0 vote.

The governor said Tuesday that he was committed to protecting K-12 funding, public safety and Medicaid spending in the upcoming budget. But he said he wants to see more money make it to classrooms.

He said one focus of any savings or additional spending would be improving fourth-grade reading scores and making more high school graduates ready for college or work.

The governor said the goal in state law was to get 65 percent of education dollars into classrooms, but he said the figure is being met by only 15 districts.

Brownback was adamant Tuesday that he didn’t want the task force to recommend merging the state’s districts and force rural communities to give up their schools.

“They can bring whatever report they want, but I’m opposed to school consolidation,” he said.

He also said that putting more money in the classroom had been discussed by Kansas governors as far back as Democrat Joan Finney, who was in office in the early

1990s. He said there are ways that districts can pull their resources to execute key functions, such as food service and other purchasing.

“There’s no question that many of these costs are legitimate,” Brownback said. “This is not a new topic.”

The 10-member task force was appointed by Brownback in September.

On Monday, it heard from a private policy analyst, the Kansas Association of School Boards and a deputy state education commissioner. The next meeting is set for Nov. 9, and Brownback expects a report before the 2013 Legislature convenes in January.

Do something today that you’ll always be remembered for.

Officials sound alarm over loss of environmental funds after veto

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Legislators and county officials on Tuesday said Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of environmental funds will come back to haunt the state.

“The decision to not fund LEPP (the Local Environmental Protection Program) is a penny-wise and pound-foolish decision,” said state Sen. John Vratil, R-Leawood.

LEPP, which started in 1990, provided grants to local health departments to help enforce, inspect and monitor wastewater and water systems.

The relatively low-cost program — $750,000 in its final year out of an approximately $15 billion state budget — was touted as

an effective partnership between state and local governments to protect drinking water.

Without Brownback LEPP, the state will see more health problems, increased lawsuits, non-compliance with federal environmental laws and skyrocketing local fees for putting in septic tanks and other systems, officials said.

State Sen. Carolyn McGinn, R-Sedgwick, and chair of the Legislative Budget Committee, described the elimination of the program as “shortterm conservatism versus long-term conservatism.”

City approves ban of Chinese lanterns

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

From now on in Lawrence, that bright light up in the sky had better be the sun, or maybe a comet or even a UFO, but definitely not a Chinese lantern.

Lawrence city commissioners at their Tuesday evening meeting unanimously agreed to ban “aerial luminaries” from being used inside the city limits.

“The use of these devices is really becoming a problem across the globe,” Fire Chief Mark Bradford told commissioners. “We fully support the banning of this type of device as a prevention effort.”

The aerial lanterns are like miniature hot-air balloons that usually are fueled by an open flame inside a paper-sack-like contraption.

Bradford said there have been reports of the devices rising high enough to interfere with aircraft, and

sometimes the flame is not fully extinguished by the time it hits the CITY ground.

COMMISSION Commissioners heard no opposition from the public regarding the ban.

“You’re suggesting having a large paper bag with a candle in it floating around the city is a bad idea?” City Commissioner Aron Cromwell asked Bradford. “I can probably see that.”

The cities of Wichita, Derby, McPherson, Emporia and Kansas City already have banned the luminaries, according to a city memo. Lawrence’s ordinance allows the city’s Municipal Court judge to assess a fine ranging from $1 to $1,000 for violation of the ordinance.

D-Topeka, said the veto pushed costs down onto counties.

In his veto message earlier this year, Brownback said the program was never meant to be permanent.

“The program was started in the early 1990s for the purpose of providing local governments with technical assistance and grant funds in order

to establish environmental programs specifically suited for local priorities.

Once the programs were established, the intent was to discontinue the state funding,” he said.

But local officials said LEPP had been so successful, it made no sense to kill it.

2 women file federal suit against Shawnee County District Attorney

TOPEKA (AP) — Two former employees have filed a federal lawsuit against Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor alleging they were wrongfully terminated for raising issues about race and gender discrimination.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reported Tuesday that Krystal BoxumDebolt of Lawrence and Lisa Moore of Rio Rancho, N.M., filed the case earlier this month in federal court in Topeka. Moore was living in Kansas at the time that the alleged wrongdoings took place.

The two women allege they were fired for raising concerns about the lack of an area to pump breast milk and nurse. The suit also claims they weren’t paid overtime and alleges race discrimination by a supervisor toward Hispanics. working for the district attorney’s office in August 2005, while Moore began in June 2009.

According to court documents, the women began reporting instances of gender discrimination in spring 2010, raising an issue with supervisors over the lack of appropriate facilities for women to breast feed or pump breast milk. The lawsuit says the women were ridiculed for raising the issue, adding that “Moore must not have enough work to do since she was looking up statutes.”

The lawsuit also claims that an unnamed supervisor used her position to coerce a Hispanic employee, her family and the widow of a Hispanic murder victim to clean her home.

The women said they were initially suspended then fired by Taylor’s office for making the complaints. The women filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and were notified earlier this year that they were able to file a federal lawsuit against Taylor,

ON THE RECORD

One can’t even begin thinking about the future of health care until Nov. 6 is over. …

There’s tremendous potential for disruption no matter what happens.”

— Donna Sweet, a professor and practitioner of internal medicine at the KU School of Medicine in Wichita we’ll do OK.” But the future of health care won’t be shaped by the Affordable Care Act alone.

Health care professionals say there are also questions about Medicare reimbursements and the state’s new privatized Medicaid program. Medicare programs typically cover senior citizens and Medicaid covers the poor, including many elderly.

There also are unknowns about how state and federal roles will be filled regarding such programs as the state health care exchange.

Gov. Sam Brownback has said he will wait to make a determination on the state health care exchange until after the presidential election. But other state officials have said that, at that point, it likely would be too late to move ahead with a state exchange.

“All of those things are tied up in this,” Sweet said. “If the state opts out of forming insurance exchanges and goes forward dependent on a federal exchange, I’m not sure what that will look like. ... We have the almost total transition of Medicaid into managed care Medicaid, and I think that’s a big black box.”

Kansas’ switch to managed care companies for Medicaid means the state is moving closer to privatizing the publicly funded health care program, said Tom Estep, a cardiovascular thoracic surgeon at Wichita Surgical Specialists and president of the Medical Society of Sedgwick County.

“It’s hard to say what’s going to happen until someone gets elected. …

We’re in very turbulent and untested waters right now because we really don’t know,” Estep said.

State Dept. denies linking Libya attack to video

By Bradley Klapper and Larry Margasak Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The State Department said Tuesday it never concluded that the consulate attack in Libya stemmed from protests over an American-made video ridiculing Islam, raising further questions about why the Obama administration used that explanation for more than a week after assailants killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

The revelation came as new documents suggested internal disagreement over appropriate levels of security before the attack, which occurred on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the U.S. Briefing reporters

ed congressional hearing today, State Department officials provided their most detailed rundown of how a peaceful day in Benghazi devolved into a sustained attack that involved multiple groups of men armed with weapons such as machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars over an expanse of more than a mile.

But asked about the administration’s initial — and since retracted — explanation linking the violence to protests over an anti-Muslim video circulating on the Internet, one official said, “That was not our conclusion.” He called it a question for “others” to answer, without specifying. The officials spoke on condition of anonym-

authorized to speak publicly on the matter, and provided no evidence that might suggest a case of spontaneous violence or angry protests that went too far.

The attack has become a major issue in the presidential campaign, featuring prominently in Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s latest foreign policy address on Monday. He called it an example of President Barack Obama’s weakness in foreign policy matters, noting: “As the administration has finally conceded, these attacks were the deliberate work of terrorists.”

The administration counters that it has provided its best intelligence on the attack, and that it refined its explanation as

to light. But five days after the attack, Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, gave a series of interviews saying the administration believed the violence was unplanned and that extremists with heavier weapons “hijacked” the protest and turned it into an outright attack.

She has since denied trying to mislead Congress, and a concurrent CIA memo that was obtained by The Associated Press cited intelligence suggesting the demonstrations in Benghazi “were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo” and “evolved into a direct assault” on the diplomatic posts by “extremists.”

Battleground map far smaller than in past elections Associated Press

HARRISBURG, PA. — So much for Mitt Romney’s plans to compete for Democratic-trending Michigan or Pennsylvania.

And what about President Barack Obama’s early hopes of fighting it out for Republican-tilting Arizona, Georgia or Texas?

Forget them.

The presidential battleground map is as compact as it’s been in decades, with just nine states seeing the bulk of candidate visits, campaign ads Romney and getout-thevote efforts in the hunt for the 270 Electoral College votes needed for victory. That Obama means just a fraction of Americans will determine the outcome of the race for the White House.

“It’s difficult if not impossible to pull new states into that kind of competition,” said Tad Devine, a Democrat who long has helped his party’s presidential nominees craft state-by-state strategies to reach the magic number.

A month before Election Day, that means both candidates are concentrating their precious time and money in the handful

of states that still seem to be competitive: Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire and Wisconsin.

Obama succeeded in expanding the map in 2008 by winning the traditionally Republican states of Indiana, North Carolina and Virginia. But it took a Democratic tidal wave to do so, and he was the exception in a nation that’s grown increasingly polarized, with demographic shifts heralding Democratic victories in the Northeast and on the West Coast and Republican dominance in the West and South.

“Politics in the country has become homogenized regionally and culturally,” said Steve Schmidt, a veteran of Republican presidential campaigns. So, he added: “You’re left with the only states that have the population and demographic mix where it’s in question who is going to be on top at the finish line.”

TV ad money — the best measure of whether a campaign is competing in a state — shows that 93 percent of the $746 million spent so far, or $697 million — has poured into the nine battleground states. Less than a quarter of the nation’s voters live in those states.

The trend is clear. Over the past 20 years, markedly fewer states have been competitive in presidential elections. In 1992, there were 33 decided by fewer than 10 percentage points. In 2008, just 15.

The wind rushed so fast that it spun the still-inflating balloon as if it was a giant plastic grocery bag, raising concerns at mission control about whether it was damaged from the jostling.

The balloon is so delicate that it can only take off if winds are 2 mph or below on the ground.

FORMER PENN STATE UNIVERSITY ASSISTANT FOOTBALL COACH JERRY SANDUSKY is driven from the Centre County Courthouse after being sentenced Tuesday in Bellefonte, Pa.. Sandusky was sentenced to at least 30 years in prison, effectively a life sentence, in the child sexual abuse scandal.

disgrace to Penn State and triggered the downfall of his former boss, football coach Joe Paterno.

He leaves behind a trail of human and legal wreckage that could take years for the university to clear away.

“The tragedy of this crime is that it’s a story of betrayal. The most obvious aspect is your betrayal of 10 children,” Judge John Cleland said after a hearing in which three of the men Sandusky was convicted of molesting as boys confronted him face to face and told of the lasting pain he had inflicted.

The judge said he expects Sandusky to die in prison.

In a disjointed, 15-minute address before he learned his sentence, Sandusky said: “In my heart I did not do these alleged disgusting acts.”

Sprinkling his remarks with sports references, the former assistant coach spoke of being locked up in a jail cell, subjected to outbursts from fellow inmates, reading inspirational books and trying to find a purpose in his fate. His voice cracked as he talked about missing his loved ones, including his wife, Dottie, who was in the gallery.

“Hopefully we can get better as a result of our hardship and suffering, that somehow, some way, something good will come out of this,” Sandusky said.

He also spoke of instances in which he helped children and did good works in the community, adding:

“I’ve forgiven, I’ve been forgiven. I’ve comforted others, I’ve been comforted. I’ve been kissed by dogs, I’ve been bit by dogs.

I’ve conformed, I’ve also been different. I’ve been me. I’ve been loved, I’ve been hated.”

Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts, found guilty of raping or fondling boys he had met through the acclaimed youth charity he founded, The Second Mile. He plans to appeal, arguing among other things that his defense was not given enough time to prepare for trial after his arrest last November.

Among the victims who spoke in court Tuesday was a young man who said he was 11 when Sandusky groped him in a shower in 1998. He said Sandusky is in denial and should “stop coming up with excuses.”

“I’ve been left with deep painful wounds that you caused and had been buried in the garden of my heart for many years,” he said.

Another man said he was 13 in 2001 when Sandusky lured him into a Penn State sauna and then a shower and forced him to touch the ex-coach. “I am troubled with flashbacks of his naked body, something that will never be erased from my memory,” he said.

After the sentencing, prosecutor Joe McGettigan praised the victims’ courage and dismissed Sandusky’s comments as “a masterpiece of banal self-delusion, completely untethered from reality and without any acceptance of responsibility.”

2012 PRESIDENTIAL RACE

BRUSSELS — NATO is ready to defend Turkey, the alliance’s top official said Tuesday, in a direct warning to Syria after a week of cross-border artillery and mortar exchanges dramatically escalated tensions between the two countries.

Ankara has sent additional fighter jets to reinforce an air base close to the frontier with Syria where shells killed five Turkish civilians last week, sparking fears of a wider regional crisis. Syria has defended its shelling of neighboring Turkey as an accidental outcome of its 18-month-old civil war.

The comments by NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen were the strongest show of support to Turkey since the firing began Wednesday — though the solidarity is largely symbolic.

Physicists win Nobel for quantum work NEW YORK — A Frenchman and an American shared the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for inventing methods to peer into the bizarre quantum world of ultra-tiny particles, work that could help in creating a new generation of superfast computers.

Serge Haroche of France and American David Wineland opened the door to new experiments in quantum physics in the 1990s by showing how to observe individual atoms and particles of light called photons while preserving their quantum properties.

Quantum physics, a field about a century old, explains a lot about nature but includes some weirdsounding behavior by individual, isolated particles.

A particle resists our idea of either-or: it’s not here or there, it’s sort of both. It’s not spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise, but a

bit of both. It gets a definite location or spin only when it’s measured.

Working separately, the two scientists, both 68, developed “ingenious laboratory methods” that allowed them to manage and measure and control fragile quantum states, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.

“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,” he told the Des Moines Register in an interview posted on the newspaper’s website.

The former Massachusetts governor said he would instead use an executive order to reinstate the so-called Mexico City policy that bans American aid from funding abortions. President Barack Obama waived the order soon after taking office.

Still unclear is what Romney would do if a Republican-controlled Congress passed abortion legislation and presented it to him to sign into law.

The Romney campaign sought to walk back the comments soon after they were posted on the Register’s website. “Gov. Romney would of course support legislation aimed at providing greater protections for life,” spokeswoman Andrea Saul said, declining to elaborate.

PROTESTERS THROW STONES TO RIOT POLICE during clashes Tuesday in central Athens, Greece. German Chancellor Angela Merkel got a hostile reception from ordinary Greeks on Tuesday when she flew into Athens on her first visit to the country since its debt crisis erupted three years ago.

Merkel gets hostile reception in Greece

By Derek Gatopoulos and Nicholas Paphitis Associated Press

ATHENS, GREECE — German Chancellor Angela Merkel got a hostile reception from many ordinary Greeks on Tuesday when she flew into Athens on her first visit to the country since its debt crisis erupted three years ago.

But she praised the current Greek government for covering “much of the ground” required for recovery.

“I hope and wish that Greece remains a member of the eurozone,” Merkel said. “As partners, we are working hard to achieve that.”

Her visit triggered protests attended by some 50,000 demonstrators in Athens. The rallies were mostly peaceful, but police briefly clashed with several dozen demonstrators and detained nearly 200 people throughout the day.

As Europe’s largest contributor to the bailout fund that has rescued Greece from bankruptcy, Germany is viewed by many Greeks as the primary enforcer of the aus-

terity measures the Greek government enacted in exchange for emergency aid.

Debt monitors from the European Union, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank, known as the “troika,” will deliver a report within coming weeks on whether Greece should receive its next bailout payment, without which it will go bankrupt.

Merkel, who stopped in Athens for five hours, said the coalition government led by Prime Minister Antonis Samaras still had to push through more key costcutting reforms.

“Much of the ground has been covered ... There is daily progress,” Merkel said after talks with Samaras. “This is an effort that should be seen through because otherwise it would make the circumstances even more dramatic later on.”

Although the German leader damped expectations in Athens of a stronger message of public support for Greece, Samaras said Merkel’s visit had ended “the country’s international isolation.”

BLINDFOLDED AND HANDCUFFED SUSPECTED AL-QAIDA MEMBERS are led away to detention centers in an Iraqi army base in Hillah, about 60 miles south of Baghdad, in this July 20 photo. Al-Qaida is slowly resurging in Iraq, and has set up training camps for insurgents in the nation’s western deserts as the extremist group seizes on regional instability and government security failures to regain strength, officials say.

South Carolina, declared in an interview last month while visiting Baghdad.

The new growth of alQaida in Iraq, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq, is not entirely unexpected.

Last November, the top U.S. military official in Iraq, Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, predicted “turbulence” ahead for Iraq’s security forces. But he doubted Iraq would return to the days

of widespread fighting between Shiite militias and Sunni insurgents, including al-Qaida, that brought the Islamic country to the brink of civil war.

While there’s no sign of Iraq headed back toward sectarian warfare — mostly because Shiite militias are not retaliating to their deadly attacks — al-Qaida’s revival is terrifying to ordinary Iraqis.

Generally, the militant group does not does not launch attacks or otherwise operate beyond Iraq’s borders. For years, it has targeted Shiite pilgrims, security forces, officials in the Shiite-led government and — until it left — the U.S. military. On Tuesday, a series of bombings and drive-by shootings killed six people, including three soldiers and a judge, in Baghdad and the former al-Qaida strongholds of Mosul and Tal Afar in northern Iraq.

EDITORIALS

Worthy legacy Library and fitness programs are a great way to remember the community contributions of the late Dr. Bob Frederick.

Congratulations to the family of the late Bob Frederick for their efforts to keep alive the memory and the values of the former Kansas University athletic director who died in a 2009 bicycle accident.

This past weekend was noteworthy for two events that promoted physical activity and healthy lifestyles in Frederick’s memory.

At the Lawrence Public Library, children not only could get their library cards, they also could select a book and receive a bookmark in memory of “Dr. Bob.” A selection of books dealing with nutrition, good sportsmanship and exercise was available as part of the library’s Dr. Bob Book Program, inaugurated at a reception at the library. This program is expected to benefit around 1,200 youngsters each year. The family provided a financial gift to launch the program.

The second event of the weekend, on a chilly autumn morning at the Rim Rock Farm cross-country course north of Lawrence, was the third annual “Dr. Bob Run,” a 5-kilometer race for adults that this year also featured events for teams and for youngsters.

About 300 people took part. The Dr. Bob run supports a scholarship named for Frederick in the KU School of Education.

Members of the Frederick family were on hand and thoroughly enjoying both events. The activities were a genuinely positive way to remember the genial Bob Frederick, who loved running and bicycling and espoused a healthy lifestyle and good sportsmanship.

Three cheers for Mrs. Margey Frederick and her sons, Chris, Mark, Brad and Brian (who also was married during the weekend!) for these beneficial communitybased efforts that keep alive the memory of their husband and father.

“Reality,” Stephen Colbert once famously said, “has a well-known liberal bias.”

It was one of those jokes that isn’t, one of those barbs that captures something painfully true, allows you to see it with clarity you never could if viewing straight on.

It’s worth noting that Colbert said this years before that jump-the-shark moment last week when conservatives accused the Labor Department of conspiring against them.

In case you missed it, it happened when the government released figures showing the unemployment rate has tumbled to 7.8 percent.

Most of us considered this good news. Because it validates President Obama’s narrative of a slowly improving economy, many conservatives did not. They called the figure a fraud — “monkey business,” in the words of Donald Trump. Former GE CEO Jack Welch saw it as evidence of malfeasance from “these Chicago guys.”

Fox “News” asked, “Is the number real?”

And so it goes in the conservative War on Reality.

Not that this was the first salvo in said war. Just before the numbers came out, conservatives were working to discredit polls that showed President Obama leading Mitt Romney. “Bogus,” said Rush Limbaugh.

Under such circumstances, political discourse must devolve into incoherence. We cannot discuss what color to paint the room if we cannot agree on what constitutes red or green — or the room.

We literally have no shared language with which to even have the discussion.”

You see, the war goes back a ways. Back to Sen. Jon Kyl saying that 97 percent of Planned Parenthood’s activities are abortion-related and, when called on that lie, issuing a statement that what he said was “not intended to be .?.?. factual.” Back to Sarah Palin sounding the alarm about death panels, back to Glenn Beck saying conservatives started the Civil Rights

Movement, back to people pretending there is some mystery over the president’s birthplace.

Heck, it goes back to the Bush administration cutting inconvenient facts from government reports, back to Bush brushing aside a pessimistic report on Iraq by saying the intelligence community was “just guessing.”

The point here — this cannot be overemphasized — is not ideology. Rather, it is about the fact that we cannot effectively debate ideology if we do not have a body of facts in common.

Under such circumstances, political discourse must devolve into incoherence. We cannot discuss what color to paint the room if we cannot agree on what constitutes red or green — or the room.

We literally have no shared language with which to even have the discussion.

This is the legacy of the War on Reality. Some of us live under a new ethos, fueled and abetted by Fox, the Internet and talk radio, which holds that facts are optional and reality, multiple choice — and that anyone who questions this is part of the conspiracy against you. The results have not been pretty. When, in the history of American political discourse, have conservatives — some, not all — seemed more para-

YOUR TURN

Stop and think about our values

By Virginia Conard

There was a recent article in the Journal-World about Kansas University’s basketball coach, Bill Self, getting an agreement in the millions of dollars through the 202122 season. I admire coach Self, and I like to have winning teams, but I also think it would be great if we were to see more fairness in the paychecks of the professors and instructors at KU who are not sports staff. Can you see big bold headlines announcing on the front page of the J-W that academia at KU is overcome by the fact that they are being overpaid yearly by millions of dollars?

Wow! What a thought!

I was thinking this same way back in 1947 when John and I were first married. We were both students at KU, John doing graduate work and I in my senior year. We lived in an apartment in Sunnyside, located just south of

the campus near Robinson Gym. We were very grateful to get to live there, for housing in Lawrence was tight at Conard that time.

Our apartment was on the second level. Directly below us was a young couple whom I will call Mike and Jane (not their real names). Mike was on the KU football coaching staff.

It was very quickly my observation that Mike and Jane were often receiving gifts. I thought that was really great. But after a few months, I wondered why they kept being feted. A friend said, “Oh, Mike is on the sports staff at KU.” I was to learn a hard lesson.

It wasn’t the professor that was helping prepare students in the sociology or the psychology departments or

other academic disciplines who got the lovely gifts, but it seemed to be consistently those in the sports arena.

That at the time didn’t make sense to me, but today I realize that is simply a part of the value system of our culture. Entertainment and pleasure rank very high in our American culture —it did also in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. I think most of those societies have fallen by the wayside.

You and I might think that we don’t adhere to that value system — but do we?

How much time and money do we spend regarding television, sports, recreation?

Do we spend equally as much time in reading, in conversing with our kids and with other loved ones?

Or even in reading and studying the Bible?

To the editor: On Thursday night I had the pleasure of going to the Dole Institute of Politics to watch the 2nd District congressional debate between incumbent Republican Lynn Jenkins and Democratic challenger Tobias Schlingensiepen. As a truly undecided voter, it is wonderful community opportunities like this allow citizens like me to formulate their opinions in an educated, informed manner.

After having read in the Journal-World that a similar debate in Topeka saw a turnout of only 50, I was thrilled to see our community value the democratic process by showing up in far greater numbers. Unfortunately, on this particular evening, my experience was diminished by several of those who chose to attend. Sitting in front of my husband and me were three very vocal Schlingensiepen supporters who insisted upon making loud grumblings and distracting motions toward the stage every time Jenkins spoke. At one point, they even found it appropriate to yell out “liar” as she made her closing remarks.

As an undecided voter, the actions of this group may help persuade me in my decision, but probably not in the way those three disrespectful citizens hoped. While in the past I have traditionally been a supporter of the Democratic Party, if this is the way Schlingensiepen supporters go about conducting their affairs, I would be ashamed and embarrassed to count myself as one of them. In the democratic process, manners and respect ought to be bipartisan values.

Misbehaving

If traffic signs could heave a sigh of relief, the ones in Lawrence would have been doing so this week as the annual siege YEARS against them had passed its peak.

AGO “Each year, after colleges start, IN 1972 we have about a three-week plague of thefts or a frontal assault against signs,” said Douglas County Engineer Dean Sanderson.

— Compiled by Sarah St. John

noid, put-upon and ready to believe themselves the victims of outlandish plots?

Hillary Clinton was rightly derided for saying a “vast right-wing conspiracy” was out to get her husband. But if that one-time utterance made her sound ridiculous, what shall we make of this constant drumbeat from the political right? What shall we make of a mindset in which the answer to every criticism, the response to every unwelcome fact, is to point to a conspiracy of bias that exists mostly in their minds?

Now, we reach a sobering watershed. Who knew even the professional numbers crunchers in the Labor Department were part of this vast left-wing conspiracy?

Hearing that, one must believe one of two things: Either math also has a liberal bias, or, it is time to ask ourselves what becomes of a country where problem-solving is paralyzed because problem solvers cannot agree on a common reality?

Math, should it need saying, has no liberal bias. So give that question some hard thought. After all, we have only the one country. We may not share the same reality, but we will certainly share the same fate.

PUBLIC FORUM

OLD HOME TOWN

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 10,1912: “Because he liked Lawrence and because he had been treated YEARS so nicely when he was here beAGO fore, Charley McCully, 9 years old, IN 1912 of Topeka directed his adventures in this direction yesterday. Charley was in Lawrence last week having run away from home with another Topeka companion.

When they arrived in Lawrence they appeared in the police station and were taken care of. Mrs. S. T. Gillispie took the two little waifs in charge, washed their faces, gave them some clean clothing, a supper and a bed to sleep in. Charley didn’t forget that and so when he had another occasion for leaving Topeka he told his companion how fine things were for runaway boys in Lawrence and he and Norman Noble, 8 years old, made their second appearance in Lawrence Monday evening and asked the police to help them out again. Supposing that they had simply run away again, Marshal Meyers turned the women’s cell of the city jail over to them for the night and allowed them to sleep there. Yesterday evening it developed that the young rascals had stolen a horse and buggy and had driven to Lawrence.”

FSHS football No. 1 in 6A; Lisher honored by Chiefs

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

John Young/Journal-World File Photo

FREE STATE HEAD COACH BOB LISHER has his team ranked No. 1 in the latest Kansas Class 6A media poll.

Free State High football coach Bob Lisher has been a part of countless victories in his years as a player, assistant coach and head coach.

The Firebirds’ 28-0 win over Shawnee Mission East on Friday brought both Lisher and his program some extra recognition.

Not only will representatives from the Kansas City

Chiefs be at today’s FSHS practice to name Lisher the organization’s Kansas High School Coach of the Week, but the Firebirds (5-1) moved up to the No. 1 spot in Class 6A in this week’s Kansas Football Media Poll, which was released Tuesday.

Behind the Firebirds — ranked No. 1 for the first time in program history — in the top five are No. 2 Topeka (60), No. 3 Hutchinson (4-2),

No. 4 Derby (5-1) and No. 5 Shawnee Mission East (5-1).

Lawrence High (5-1), which hasn’t been ranked No. 1 since the district split into two high schools in 1997, also received votes but didn’t make the top five.

Lisher has served as Free State head coach since the school’s inception, compiling a 90-68 record in that time. Now in his 16th season leading the Firebirds, Lisher played at Lawrence High and

was an assistant there before taking the head coaching job at Blue Valley North, where he had a 14-14 record.

The Firebirds’ seasonopening win against Olathe Northwest on Aug. 31 marked Lisher’s 100th career victory as a head coach. His career record now stands at 104-82.

Free State begins district play on Friday with a 7 p.m. home game against Kansas City, Kan., Wyandotte (5-1).

KANSAS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA DAY Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Women’s hoops must-see this year Raise your hand if you ever attended a women’s basketball game at empty Allen Fieldhouse and went home feeling as if you had just watched a doubleheader between the Royals and some other tight-fisted noncontender on a hot day in late August.

You’re not alone. But this is not that team. Not by a long shot. Those marathons felt like back-to-back-toback-to-back episodes of “The Lawrence Welk Show.” This year’s will feel more like a two-hour sprint, a Pearl Jam concert.

Senior point guard Angel Goodrich, a 5-foot3 passing sensation, electrifies any basketball game in which she plays.

If you Goodrich swore you never would return or if you never have seen the Kansas University women’s basketball team play a game, open your ears for the most revealing, most delightful quote ninth-year KU coach Bonnie Henrickson has uttered since coming here from Virginia Tech.

Asked what aspect of this team has the potential to be better than any she has coached, Henrickson didn’t hesitate.

“I just think how much fun we’ll be able to be in transition because of what Angel can do,” Henrickson said. “That’s what you guys love and I love the same thing. Bill (Self) and I talk all the time, ‘Recruit players who can make plays so you don’t have to run so many plays.’”

And now, for the portion of the quote that makes Bonnie Ball at least twice as enjoyable to watch as a few years ago: “Angel’s cut my playbook in half. She has, which I love.”

The women are looking forward to playing up-tempo basketball with Goodrich leading the charge.

“Let us off the leash and let us run,” senior Monica Engelman said of the team’s style of play. “As a point guard, Angel pushes the tempo and we have to get out and run with her. If she runs faster, then we have to run faster.”

In Goodrich, Kansas has the most exciting passer in the nation. In senior forward Carolyn Davis, back from ACL surgery, Please see GOODRICH, page 3B

KANSAS UNIVERSITY COACH BONNIE HENRICKSON, RIGHT, VISITS with senior forward Carolyn Davis as the KU women’s basketball team waits courtside during media day on Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks, who are coming off a Sweet-16 appearance last season, hope to push for one of the top spots in the Big 12 this year.

Jayhawks eager to turn tourney run into Big 12 success

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Kansas University junior forward Tania Jackson is ready for a stress-free Selection Monday, especially after having to suffer through an uncertain one last year.

“I want to jump up and be crazy, but I don’t want to be sweating and nervous with my head down, like, ‘Oh my gosh.

We’re not going to make it.

We might not,’” Jackson said during Tuesday’s KU women’s basketball media day. “I would love to just relax.”

The Jayhawks, after being selected for the NCAAs a year ago, made the most of the opportunity by making a run to the Sweet 16 as an 11-seed.

The goal this year, though, is to make it easier on themselves, and coach Bonnie Henrickson believes her team’s improvement needs to come in Big 12 play.

AP File Photo

KANSAS’ TANIA JACKSON (33) AND TEAMMATES CELEBRATE their 70-64 victory over Delaware in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in this file photo from March 20 in Little Rock, Ark. Last year, the Jayhawks posted a 21-13 record overall and an 8-10 record in the Big 12, tying for sixth in the 10team conference.

That actually was the highest league finish Henrickson has had in her eight years at KU, though the Jayhawks’ ambitions are higher this year

with two All-America candidates — guard Angel Goodrich and forward Carolyn Davis — returning for their senior seasons.

“I think there’s three or four of us in a battle for second, third and fourth (in the conference),” Henrickson said.

“And I think it’s close.”

Davis, who is back to practicing after suffering a dislocated knee and torn ACL last season, also is expecting more.

“I think if we really go into the Big 12 pushing it and playing the way we played in the tournament,” Davis said, “there’s no way we should finish lower than second.”

KU will have to replace departed forward Aishah Sutherland — Henrickson called her one of the most talented players she’s had in Lawrence —but will get a boost with a healthy Davis.

KU-Mizzou match-up in NCAAs won’t shock Self “ We are not part of their future and they are not part of ours. ...

I don’t see our stance changing.”

— Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self on the regular-season KU-MU rivalry

By Gary Bedore

gbedore@ljworld.com

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Kansas and Missouri might be meeting again in men’s basketball sooner than anybody expected.

“The NCAA Selection committee has a strange sense of humor,” KU coach Bill Self said at Tuesday’s Coaches vs.

Cancer fundraiser at the College Basketball Experience next to Sprint Center.

He was referring to the possibility of the longtime rivals being placed in the same bracket in the NCAA Tournament.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it does happen because they are going to be really good in basketball and hopefully we’ll continue to be OK,” Self added.

The powers-that-be at KU, who are adamant about not scheduling former Big 12 partner/current SEC member Missouri, obviously could not prevent such a meeting during March Madness.

As far as regular-season contests ... they won’t be happening anytime soon.

“My feelings haven’t changed at all. I’ll miss playing them. I love the game. It’s

my favorite game,” Self said of KU-MU. “This is above my head, too. I’ve got a chancellor and athletic director and I actually feel strongly about it myself. We are not part of their future and they are not part of ours. ... I don’t see our stance changing. I don’t think Texas is going to play Texas A&M (which also left Big 12 for SEC this season).

If they are not going to play A&M, why should we play Missouri or vice versa?

Nobody from Missouri has contacted me about playing, not one person. I would think they would want to

(play). They know it’s nothing personal. It’s just business. They make business decisions and certainly we can make business decisions.”

Missouri has made it clear the Tigers do want to schedule KU in hoops and football, too.

“This year I experienced people talking that it was the last time Kansas and Missouri would play,” secondyear MU coach Frank Haith said of last year’s Feb. 25 meeting in Allen Fieldhouse.

“That was an eerie feeling Please see SELF, page 4B

Goodell re-issues bounty penalties NEW ORLEANS (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell upheld the suspensions of Jonathan Vilma and Will Smith on Tuesday for their role in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal and reduced penalties for Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove.

Vilma will sit out the entire season and Smith’s punishment stands at four games.

Hargrove, a free agent defensive lineman, will face a twogame suspension once he signs with a team. He originally was hit with eight games, but that was reduced to seven with five games already served. Fujita, who plays for Cleveland, will now miss only one game instead of three.

The players were implicat-

ed in what the NFL said was a bounty pool run by former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and paid improper cash bonuses for hits that injured opponents. The players have acknowledged a pool but denied they intended to injure anyone.

Goodell’s new ruling comes about a month after an appeal panel created by the NFL’s labor agreement vacated the original suspensions on technical grounds during Week 1 of the regular season and informed Goodell that he needed to clarify the reasons for the punishment. The panel asked Goodell to clarify the extent to which his ruling involved conduct detrimental to the league, which he has the sole authority to handle,

By Phil Sheridan The Philadelphia Inquirer

The only sentence that would have felt right was impossible: to go back in time somehow and put Jerry Sandusky away the very first time he molested a child.

Once you accept that, it really didn’t matter whether Judge John Cleland delivered a sentence of 30 years or 300 years for the 68-year-old rapist. It matters only that Sandusky dies in prison and never has access to another child. Cleland’s sentence — 30 to 60 years — accomplishes that. It was a pragmatic ruling on an emotional issue, a sentence crafted for the minds of a possible appeals court rather than the hearts of the angry masses.

Maybe the most shocking aspect of Tuesday’s events was the finality.

Less than one year ago, Joe Paterno was the head coach at Penn State. Sandusky was a welcome guest in a luxury box at Beaver Stadium for the school’s homecoming game.

Everybody was living in real or willful ignorance of the monstrous reality, that Sandusky had turned the football facilities into his personal torture chambers for a series of innocent young boys.

Now the price has mostly been determined: Paterno is dead, his reputation destroyed.

Penn State football will be hobbled for years by fines, loss of scholarships, and postseason bans. The inner circle of university administrators has been disgraced, dismissed, and, in two cases, indicted. Virtually all of the coaching staff has been released.

And Jerry Sandusky will die in prison.

There is some unfinished business, of course. The victims of Sandusky will never be finished with it. There will and should be enormous civil suits against and settlements

by Penn State.

Criminal trials are looming for a former university administrator (Gary Schultz) and a suspended one (Tim Curley), with charges still possible against former president Graham B. Spanier. There will continue to be fair questions about how Gov. Corbett handled this case while he was state attorney general, and that check could come due at reelection time.

For all the turmoil and NCAA sanctions, Penn State will be able to move on. For the victims, it will never be that clean.

It is for them that Sandusky must die in prison. And while a 400-year sentence would have sounded and felt better in the hearts of an angry public, this sentence is adequate.

Jerry Sandusky will never hurt another child. The sad truth is that we couldn’t say this in 1998.

more extensive than ordinarily available in such cases,� Goodell said in a memorandum to the 32 clubs. “In my recent meetings with the players and their counsel, the players addressed the allegations and had an opportunity to tell their side of the story,� Goodell wrote. “In those meetings, the players confirmed many of the key facts disclosed in our investigation, most particularly that the program offered cash rewards for ‘cart-offs,’ that players were encouraged to ‘crank up the John Deere tractor’ and have their opponents carted off the field, and that rewards were offered and paid for plays that resulted in opposing players having to leave the field of play.�

COMMENTARY

Sandusky sentence appropriate

and salary cap violations resulting from bonus payments, which would have to be ruled upon by an arbitrator other than the commissioner.

Only Smith and Fujita have played this season. Vilma has been recovering from offseason knee surgery and hopes to return in two weeks when the Saints play at Tampa Bay. The players can further delay their suspensions by appealing again through their labor contract. They could also ask a federal judge in New Orleans to revisit their earlier request for an injunction blocking the suspensions. “The quality, specificity and scope of the evidence supporting the findings of conduct detrimental are far greater and

Donovan ruled out of two World Cup qualifiers MIAMI — Landon Donovan will not play for the U.S. national team in a pair of upcoming World Cup qualifying matches because of an injured left knee, adding to what will be a pressure-filled few days for the Americans.

U.S. Soccer said Tuesday that Donovan — who has more goals, assists and starts than any player in program history — will likely not be replaced on what was a 24-man roster for the upcoming qualifiers, first on Friday on the road against Antigua and Barbuda, then in Kansas City on Oct. 16 against Guatemala.

Donovan was injured while playing Saturday for the Los Angeles Galaxy. He was selected by U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann for these qualifiers anyway, and the team’s athletic trainers wanted him to be evaluated one more time before he started training.

Donovan had scrapped plans for an MRI in Los Angeles on Monday because he thought his knee had improved. “Landon was very optimistic over the weekend when his knee was feeling much better, but now he needs time to recover,� Klinsmann said.

Both the national team and the Galaxy said Donovan was returning to Los Angeles for further evaluation.

That was not the outcome anyone expected.

Hours before the Donovan decision was announced, Klinsmann said the Americans had been “very, very positive� about his status.

Brek Shea was also was ruled out of the qualifiers on Tuesday because of an abdominal injury. Barring a change of plans, that means Klinsmann will take only 22 players to Antigua for what would seem to be a must-win match on Friday night.

GOLF

Woods, McIlroy lose openers BELEK, TURKEY — The anticipated match-up between Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods today may not count for much after both lost their opening matches at the eight-player World Golf Finals.

McIlroy lost to Matt Kuchar by six shots and Woods fell to Charl Schwartzel by one shot on Tuesday in the $5.2 million event at the Sultan course in Antalya.

In the other group of the medal match-play format, Lee Westwood beat Webb Simpson by one shot and Justin Rose defeated Hunter Mahan by four strokes.

McIlroy and Woods — ranked No. 1 and No. 2 — face each other today in the last of their three group matches, but both could already be eliminated by then.

The top two in each group will advance to the semifinals. In this morning’s matches, McIlroy will face Schwartzel and Woods will play Kuchar.

Armstrong renews criticism AUSTIN, TEXAS — With U.S. anti-doping officials set to issue their report on the Lance Armstrong case, a lawyer for the cyclist is again criticizing the process which led to Armstrong being banned from the sport for life.

In a letter Tuesday to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, Armstrong attorney Tim Herman says the agency should send the International Cycling Union its entire evidence file, not just a limited report packaged to support the Armstrong sanctions.

USADA’s report to UCI is expected this week.

USADA spokesperson Annie Skinner says “the rules require us to provide a reasoned decision in every case and we are happy to let the evidence speak for itself.�

Armstrong insists he never cheated and could have challenged USADA’s evidence in an arbitration hearing. But in August he opted not to fight.

Patriots’ Faulk retiring FOXBOROUGH, MASS. — Kevin Faulk has made it official. After two injury-plagued seasons, the running back is retiring after 13 years with the New England Patriots.

The team’s career leader in all-purpose yards formally announced his retirement on Tuesday at the team’s Hall of Fame.

Drafted out of LSU in the second round in 1999, Faulk spent his entire career with the Patriots, primarily as a third-down back and kick returner. He was part of all three New England championship teams but was not active for last season’s 21-17 Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants.

His 12,349 all-purpose yards, 5,041 return yards and 4,098 kick return yards are team records. He also rushed for 3,607 yards and 16 touchdowns and caught 431 passes for 3,701 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Texans lose Cushing for year HOUSTON — Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing is out for the season because of a torn ligament in his left knee.

Cushing was hurt in the second quarter of the Texans’ 23-17 win over the New York Jets on a low block by guard Matt Slauson. Cushing walked off the field on his own, but didn’t return.

Coach Gary Kubiak said Tuesday that Cushing has a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will need surgery.

Healthy Davis aims for return to NCAAs

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Although it’s been eight months since she tore up her left knee, both dislocating it and tearing the anterior cruciate ligament, the memory of that day and the torture that came after it will never be far from the mind of Kansas University senior Carolyn Davis.

As she sat on the Allen Fieldhouse floor during Tuesday’s women’s basketball media day and fielded questions from reporters with a healthy knee and extreme excitement about her upcoming senior season, a tattoo that chronicled everything healed on her left shoulder.

“My injury kind Davis of inspired it,” Davis said of the fresh ink.

Like Davis’ game, the tattoo is pretty simple.

It’s a cross, which demonstrates her faith, and it includes the date of the

“

I want to be out there and be in the lights and play on national TV. It was exciting, and I know the camera got on me quite a lot on the bench, but it’s just not the same as being out there and being able to play with your team.”

— Kansas University forward Carolyn Davis on her desire to help KU back to the NCAA tournament incident — 2-12-12 — inside of it and the word “determination” below it.

At the top is one of Davis’ favorite bible verses, Isaiah 54:17, which reads, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper ...”

“I understand that this was something to tear me down,” Davis said. “And I used it to build me back up.”

By all accounts, Davis is well on her way to becoming the player she was when she went down with the injury. At the time, she led the Jayhawks in scor-

ing (17.5 points per game) and was in the top five nationally in field-goal percentage (60.2 percent).

KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said Tuesday she had no doubt Davis could reach those milestones again.

“Absolutely,” Henrickson said. “If you think about her game — and I thought about this for many days when she went down — what does she do really well? She runs rim to rim really, really well and she’s doing that.

It didn’t affect her hands, so she’ll be able to run, catch and finish. When we first got her in individual workouts, I just shook my head and said, ‘You just make it look so easy.’ And that’s what the best ones do.”

With Davis out, the Jayhawks won just four of 11 games, but two of them came in the NCAA Tournament. Davis was there during her team’s run to the Sweet 16, but did not enjoy it the same as she always had dreamed.

“It’s driving me to experience that in a different way,” she said. “I want to be out there and be in the lights and play on na-

tional TV. It was exciting, and I know the camera got on me quite a lot on the bench, but it’s just not the same as being out there and being able to play with your team.”

While the 6-foot-3 forward from Houston still struggles with contact and has a little rehab still ahead of her, she already has been an inspiration to her teammates.

“She comes in every day and she gets better,” said senior guard Monica Engelman. “It amazes me as her friend and as her teammate. I’m super proud of her and what she’s done.”

Through all of the heartbreak and hard times that came her way since Feb. 12, Davis said she had about four days where she was truly down. She’s up now. And, with her final season as a Jayhawk right around the corner and her knee healthy enough to run through a little dance rehearsal with teammate Asia Boyd in preparation for Friday’s Late Night, it’s that new tattoo that hurts the most.

“At this point, yeah,” Davis said with relief and a smile.

THE ROAD AHEAD

The Jayhawks also welcome a pair of newcomers: 5-6 freshman Lamaria Cole, a speedy guard Henrickson says can get into the paint; and 5-9 junior juco transfer Markisha Hawkins, who has shown an ability to get offensive rebounds in early practices.

Henrickson also believes that KU still can grow defensively. The coach has heard recently from former players telling her that she’s become soft and that her teams don’t defend like they once did.

“We’ve got to guard better,” Henrickson said.

“It just eats me up.”

Henrickson has made defense an emphasis early, talking to the team about it before each practice.

Jackson has already heard about KU’s poor defensive field-goal percentage stats — among others — from a year ago. The Jayhawks were last in the conference, allowing opponents to make 40.6 percent of their shots.

Goodrich CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

the Jayhawks have as sure-handed a post player as anyone anywhere.

“It makes it easier when you can go point to post,” Engelman said. “It makes it easier for a quick two.”

The Goodrich-toDavis battery has a Todd Reesing-Kerry Meier quality to it.

“It’s very rare,” Goodrich said of having a post player with such reliable hands. “I’ve had teams where I’ve had to put it in a certain spot so they can catch it, or throw it at a certain time so they can get their feet ready and lay it up. Carolyn, I can throw it anywhere and she can catch it. It’s amazing to have that. Not many teams have that.”

The brand of basketball and the talent on hand make this the perfect year to open the mind and give women’s basketball one more try. It’s time to give these talented basketball players the big audiences they earned with last March’s Sweet 16 run.

THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM GETS GOOFY during its annual media day on Tuesday at Allen Fieldhouse. The 2012-2013 team includes, from back left, Natalie Knight (42), Asia Boyd (0), Chelsea Gardner (15), Bunny Williams (5), CeCe Harper, Lamaria Cole (1) and, from front left, Tania Jackson (33), Monica Engelman (13), Angel Goodrich (3), Carolyn Davis (21) and Markisha Hawkins (54).

“I didn’t know we were that bad. I kind of thought that we were kind of good,” Jackson said. “I felt like our defense is what made us go so far in the tournament.

“I think it was a shocker for me. It’s just something that’s an eye-opener and something to focus on.”

Henrickson said the underlying goal is for the se-

niors to “go out with as big a pop as possible.”

That includes guard Monica Engelman along with Goodrich and Davis.

“You don’t want it to end, but eventually it’s going to end,” Goodrich said. “You just want to make it the best year of your life.”

KU FOOTBALL

Weis promises to mix and match to patch woes

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Following Saturday’s loss to Kansas State, and again during a conference call with reporters on Sunday night, Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis vowed to explore anything and everything that could solve his squad’s second-half struggles.

Tuesday morning, during his regular weekly news conference, Weis shared the details of a new plan that was mostly personnel driven.

Although the updated depth chart showed very few changes, Weis said some of the guys who had been listed as back-ups could receive meaningful playing time this weekend when the Jayhawks play host to Oklahoma State at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

“There’s several guys that I don’t know enough about when they go on the field,” Weis said.

“Some of them I don’t know enough about because there’s guys that are older playing ahead of them that, in practice, play better than them by a wide margin.”

“

I’m cognizant that the second half has been our biggest issue ... And, trust me, it’ll be addressed here in the next 24 hours, because I’d rather go down swinging than not take a swing. I’m not taking a called third strike, I promise you.”

— Kansas University football coach Charlie Weis Weis pointed to his offensive line as an example.

Instead of letting second-string left tackle Pat Lewandowski continue to play mostly in mop-up duty, Weis said he would consider giving Lewandowski a series or two in the first half Saturday.

Same for red-shirt freshmen Damon Martin at left guard and Dylan Admire at center.

“How are we gonna find out what they’re gonna do against competition if we never play ’em?” Weis asked. “That’s the Catch 22 you’re in. You want to know but never at the

expense of risking something in that game.”

The theory says that putting the less-experienced reserves in early on gives them a chance to play when the game is still close, which, in turn, gives Weis and his coaching staff a better indication of how those players stack up against Big 12 talent.

“Everyone wants to look at developing your team as giving up on your team,” Weis said. “And they misconstrue the whole thing. You can’t ever sacrifice your current team for the sake of development. At the same time, you have to do both things simultaneously.”

One other potential advantage of giving a guy like Admire a shot at center is, if he pans out, Weis could then look at moving starting center Trevor Marrongelli to right guard (he started all 12 games last season at left guard) to help shore up a section of KU’s offensive line that has struggled throughout the season.

Although he used the offensive linemen as his example, Weis said the theory held true with every position on the team

where an experienced and entrenched veteran was starting ahead of an inexperienced backup. That includes quarterback, where red-shirt freshman Michael Cummings also may be in line to play an extra series or two in the coming weeks.

“I’m cognizant that the second half has been our biggest issue,” Weis said. “You don’t think I’m thinking about that, too?

I’m thinking, ‘What can I do?’ And, trust me, it’ll be addressed here in the next 24 hours, because I’d rather go down swinging than not take a swing. I’m not taking a called third strike, I promise you.”

“I’d like to make a field goal,” he said. “That’d be a good start.”

So far this season, Doherty has connected on just five of 10 field goal tries, including a 1-of-5 mark on kicks longer than 30 yards. Last week, in the 56-16 loss to K-State, Doherty missed a 24-yarder in the first half that killed KU’s momentum.

“Those have to be automatic,” Weis said. “Sometimes you can blame everything on the kicker, and Ron certainly would accept his share of the blame, but there’s a lot of things that factor in.”

Although Doherty has been solid as a punter — 40.5 yards per kick on 21 attempts — Weis said he would be on the lookout for place kickers in the next recruiting class.

Asked if he had committed to offering a scholarship to a kicker in the current class, Weis’ answer emphasized the Jayhawks’ desperation.

“Maybe two,” he said.

“I’m not gonna come on the short end of that stick, I promise you.”

Calling all kickers While most of the personnel tweaks Weis hinted about on Tuesday were geared toward development, one concrete change on the depth chart came at place kicker, where Weis opened things up and planned to give freshman Austin Barone a shot to compete with junior Ron Doherty for the starting job.

Asked why Barone was in the mix, Weis was Sharp living up to name While the Jayhawks blunt.

have struggled to find a reliable kicker, the Cowboys have not. Anchored by the big leg of senior Quinn Sharp, Oklahoma State has been dynamite in all aspects of the kicking game throughout the season.

“Their best player might be their kicker,” Weis said. “This Quinn Sharp, he might be the best player at his position in the country.”

Through four games, Sharp is averaging 44 yards per punt, has bombed 27 touchbacks in 32 attempts, hit seven of nine field goal attempts and drilled all 28 extra point tries.

“He’s exceptional,” Weis said.

Giving to a good cause A portion of all tickets sold to this weekend’s KU-OSU game will be donated to the Jayhawks for a Cure fund, which supports cancer treatment and prevention at the KU Cancer Center and Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

For every ticket sold to Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. kickoff with the Cowboys, $5 will go directly to the Jayhawks for a Cure fund.

Kansas City pro fans’ anger on national display

in 2002, or those Oakland Raiders fans who got into fistfights in the stands during a game against San Diego in 1999, or those Philadelphia Eagles fans who booed Santa Claus way back in 1968.

“I think it’s a misperception, or a bad perception,” said Bob Fescoe of 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City. “That’s not Kansas City fans. They’re loyal, they’re dedicated, they’re hard-working people. ...

That’s just not how we do it here in Kansas City.”

Indeed, the GallupHealthways Well-Being Index last year listed the city among the “happiest” metropolitan areas in the country. Its downhome charm and Midwestern sensibility are big reasons why people continue to flock to what’s been called the Paris of the Plains.

Winston said Monday he didn’t think his comments would gain such traction, but they’ve become the impetus for a discussion of what’s considered uncouth behavior in ballparks and stadiums.

The line of demarcation is blurry at best.

Royals fans earlier this summer mercilessly booed the Yankees’ Robinson Cano when, as captain of the American League for the Home Run Derby, he went back on his word to choose a Royals player to participate. Cano was clearly shaken by the non-stop booing, and the reigning champion failed to hit a single home run as he was eliminated from the competition.

Folks across the country eviscerated Royals fans for what they deemed boorish behavior, while those in Kansas City argue they were merely showing their passion for their own guy.

Just last week, they point out, they gave the Detroit Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera a standing ovation for becoming the first player in 45 years to achieve the Triple Crown.

The angst toward their own teams has been simmering for years.

The Royals were once a model small-market club, regularly contending for

championships. But following the death of beloved owner Ewing M. Kauffman in 1993, and the purchase of the franchise

by David Glass, a period of mediocrity — or worse — set in that continues to this day.

The Royals haven’t been back to the playoffs since winning the 1985 World Series, the longest drought in one of America’s four major professional sports.

The Chiefs once sold out Arrowhead Stadium every game, and owner Lamar Hunt’s folksy charm endeared him to fans. But even before his death in 2006, the franchise had fallen into hard times, and it’s continued under the leadership of his son, Clark Hunt, and general manager Scott Pioli.

The Chiefs are currently 1-4, and they haven’t won a playoff game since 1993, a longer drought than every NFL team but Cincinnati and Detroit.

“This town just wants a winner. We just want to be relevant,” said Eric

Crandall, a fan from Independence, Mo., who’s been attending Chiefs games for more than two decades. “The coasts refer to us as ‘flyover country.’ This being the town of Truman, we want the buck to stop here.”

Dr. Don Forsyth, an expert in group behavior, leadership and moral judgment in the Jepson School of Leadership Studies at Richmond University, said he’s not surprised by the fan backlash.

“There’s a breaking point. That’s the key,” Forsyth said. “Fans think they’re part of the team, and that’s why they take wins and losses so seriously. Then when they see the administration or the leaders as the outgroup, they’ll engage in some pretty negative behaviors.”

There are similarities in the two organizations besides win-loss records.

Both have owners who rarely speak publicly, giving them a perceived aloofness. Both franchises have been accused of be-

ing miserly, and both have made embarrassing public gaffes over the years.

In response to one angry fan, an anonymous Chiefs employee tweeted on the team’s official account a few weeks ago, “Would help if you had your facts straight. Your choice to be a fan. cc get a clue.” The tweet was taken down and an apology issued by the Chiefs moments later.

“You would think a team doing this poorly would try and generate some sort of goodwill with the fans,” Crandall said.

The anger felt by fans was on display Sunday long before Cassel got hurt.

On one of the access roads leading into the stadium, tailgaters hung a bed sheet carrying a painted message calling the Chiefs an “embarrassment.” Fans cobbled together enough money to hire an airplane to tow a banner over the stadium asking for Cassel to be benched and Pioli to be fired.

Cassel has been the source of frustration for years. He was booed lustily during a celebrity softball game this summer, and fans have been calling for his job since the start of the season.

That’s part of the reason some cheered when he was hurt.

In their eyes, it was the only way the Chiefs would give backup Brady Quinn a chance.

“You never, ever, as a true fan want to see a player get injured,” said Ty Rowton, also known as Chiefs super-fan X-Factor, who attended his 234th straight game at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

“I didn’t hear any fans cheering that Cassel was hurt,” Rowton said.

“When he got up and started walking from the field, the fans gave a very loud cheer, thanking him for sacrificing himself.

“There was an even bigger cheer when it was announced that Brady Quinn was going in.”

or so fundraiser attendees. Self and Haith sat on the same stage with UMKC’s Matt Brown, KState’s Bruce Weber and former MU coach Norm Stewart.

“I do think we can have rivalries and not be in the same league.

We played Illinois when you were there, didn’t we?” Haith said, addressing KSU’s Weber, who indeed coached against Missouri the past nine

seasons while the Illini coach.

“Memphis needs an opponent,” KU coach Self said, breaking up the conversation between the two and eliciting a roar of laughter from the fans.

There is another way KU and MU might be forced to play in the future. There are reports that the SEC and Big 12 are in preliminary discussions about a possible preseason

challenge between league members.

“I know there has been some talk of that,” said KSU’s Weber. “I’m not sure exactly what will happen.”

“I don’t know how soon it’ll happen, if it’ll happen.

I think our league would be very open to it,” Self said of an SEC-Big 12 challenge.

O Juenemann on UMKC staff: UMKC coach Brown reported Tuesday

that former KU walk-on guard Jordan Juenemann has joined his staff as a graduate assistant. “He’s a great person, very impressive,” B r o w n Juenemann said of Juenemann, who is taking classes in business at UMKC

toward an advanced degree.

O Big man impresses: Self praised the preseason work of senior center Jeff Withey: “I really think he’s pretty good. I watched him today,” Self said. “He can block and alter about as well as anybody but he has to be a presence offensively. Last year he played off of Thomas (Robinson).

This year, defenses will be designed to stop him.”

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — There was a time when sports fans in Kansas City were considered among the best in sports, when Kauffman Stadium was the place to be during the sweltering summer months and tailgating at Arrowhead Stadium a rite of crisp autumn days.

Lately, the perception of Royals and Chiefs fans has taken a hit.

The latest and most volatile flashpoint occurred Sunday, when burly offensive tackle Eric Winston laid into the small percentage of Chiefs fans who cheered when embattled quarterback Matt Cassel sustained a concussion in the fourth quarter of a 9-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

During a post-game diatribe that quickly went viral, Winston called the cheering “sickening” and said he’d never been more embarrassed to play pro football. Winston has since clarified his statement to say not all Chiefs fans were cheering the injury, but he’s otherwise stood by his comments.

Words that have been dissected by people all over the country.

Former Chiefs quarterback Ron Jaworski, now an ESPN analyst, asked “Where’s the civility?” ‘‘Good Morning America” and “Inside Edition” hosts chimed in, Donny Deutsch on the “Today” show bemoaned a “thug culture” in society and Star Jones opined, “We cheer bad behavior now.”

Not exactly what people have come to expect of the heartland.

Right or wrong, Kansas City’s reputation for fans who are devoted to their downtrodden franchises has been replaced with one of callousness — in some quarters, at least — no better than those Cleveland Browns fans who cheered when QB Tim Couch got hurt

The Lions (14-11) cut a six-point deficit late in the first set to two after Howard came up with a point on a block. The second set, too, had some promise before May was forced to leave. But the remainder of the second set and the first set against Rural became a prolonged adjustment period.

Broadwell admitted May’s absence frazzled LHS for a while, but because May had been sick and limited at practice, too, Broadwell thought the Lions were prepared for such a scenario. She said May’s replacement at setter, Mountain, showed great senior leadership.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD

TCU’s Pachall to enter in-patient rehab FORT WORTH, TEXAS (AP) — Suspended TCU quarterback Casey Pachall is leaving school for the rest of the semester and entering an in-patient rehabilitation facility.

Coach Gary Patterson made the announcement Tuesday, five days after the junior starter was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in his second brush with the law in the past eight months.

Patterson said most of the inpatient programs like the one Pachall will enter are 30 to 60 days.

If Pachall completes the treatment, the door remains open for him to come back to school and the team.

“Hopefully, what our plan is that he (Pachall) gets himself right and keeps the door open for us as far as an opportunity for him to be able to come back here and enroll in the spring,” Patterson said. “He would be able to graduate in two semesters, which is the ultimate goal for us. Also, we’d get a great kid and also a good quarterback back.”

Pachall was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated after running a stop sign near the TCU campus last Thursday.

That came eight months after Pachall admitted to police that he smoked marijuana and failed a team-administered drug test just two weeks before former linebacker Tanner Brock, his roommate and teammate then, was arrested in a drug sting with

Big Ten scoring plentiful The Associated Press

The rough-and-tumble Big Ten can put up gaudy score lines, too.

Ohio State scored 63 points last weekend, Michigan 44. After a paltry start, Penn State is pouring it on with 34 points or more in three of its last four games. Nebraska has yet to dip below the 30-point mark. As the season approaches its midway point, half of the teams in the conference so gritty the colors of its logo are black and blue are averaging 30 points or more.

“I think that’s where college football is today,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said Tuesday.

“Just to watch the way everybody is in a spread mentality, is playing with tempo, it’s just a matter of time until teams score when you’ve got the defense out there as long as you are.”

Scoring has been on the rise across the nation, thanks largely to the proliferation of spread and pro-style offenses and the introduction of the running 40-second clock.

Three years after Boise State and Houston were the only two teams to average more than 40 points a game, at 42.2 each, 17 schools are scoring 40 or more. Five teams are scoring in the 50s, led by Oklahoma State with 55.8 points per game.

It’s not only the traditionally prolific schools piling up the points, either. Texas A&M, better known for its “Wrecking Crew” defense, is averaging almost 45 points a game, eighth most in the country.

“Football is a trendy sport, by nature,” Penn State coach Bill O’Brien said.

Yes, but trendy and Big Ten don’t usually go together.

“With the rise in talent level offensively and the things people are doing conceptually, it’s been a big positive,” Michigan State coach Mark D’Antonio said.

TCU QUARTERBACK CASEY PACHALL WALKS OFF THE FIELD following a Sept. 22 game against Virginia in Fort Worth, Texas. Pachall is leaving TCU for the rest of the semester to enter a rehabilitation facility. three other players and other TCU students.

Patterson said he met with Pachall and his parents and everyone agreed that he needed time away from school and football to get his life back on track.

“There was only one way he was going to change the path that he was on,” Patterson said.

“And that was he just needed to step away from it all. I think it’s the best decision for this football team and Casey Pachall.”

When Pachall’s failed drug test was revealed publicly in a police report just before the start of preseason practice in August,

the quarterback wasn’t suspended. Patterson said then that Pachall had completed drug and alcohol counseling mandated by the university.

Patterson said that he and his wife, Kelsey, will donate $100,000 to the TCU Recovery and Support Group, a drug and alcohol organization on campus that started in the fall.

“We want take this opportunity to turn this into a positive where others can be helped,” Patterson said.

Pachall threw for 948 yards with 10 touchdowns and one interception in TCU’s first four games

this season. The suspension of their second-year starter comes in the middle of the Frogs playing their first season in the Big 12 Conference and facing a difficult schedule the rest of the way.

Filling in for Pachall, redshirt freshman Trevone Boykin was 23-of-40 passing for 270 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions in Saturday’s 37-23 loss to Iowa State.

That ended the Frogs’ FBS-best 12-game winning streak and knocked them out of the Top 25.

“We’re still going to try to win football games,” Patterson said. “We won

them before Casey Pachall was our quarterback and we’re going win games after Casey Pachall is the quarterback.”

The Horned Frogs (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) play at Baylor (3-1, 0-1) on Saturday, then face Texas Tech and Oklahoma State before consecutive games against four ranked teams currently with a combined record of 17-2. They will have to play at No. 5 West Virginia, before hosting No. 6 Kansas State, then going to No. 15 Texas and closing the regular season at home against No.13 Oklahoma.

“We’re not panicking,” TCU junior receiver Josh

Boyce said. “We still have a whole season in front of us. We’re looking forward to these next games.”

Before the start of fall practice in August, Pachall said he needed to have the same expectations off the field that he did when he was playing.

“I know I’m not perfect,” Pachall said at the time. “But I’ve learned from those mistakes and I’m still learning. It’s a day-to-day process for me of trying to be a better person.”

Last season, after replacing TCU’s winningest quarterback Andy Dalton, Pachall set single-season school records with 2,921 yards passing and 228 completions. He threw 25 TDs with seven interceptions while the Frogs won 11 games, including a victory over Louisiana Tech in the Poinsettia Bowl.

While Boykin had been the backup quarterback the first four games, he was working out at tailback last week before Pachall’s arrest changed things. Sophomore Matt Brown, Pachall’s backup last season who had been moved to receiver, is now back in the quarterback mix.

Boyce said he was impressed how Boykin played against Iowa State on short notice.

“He had complete control of the huddle and did what a quarterback should do,” Boyce said. “I think he’ll be great. He’ll have a whole week of practice and we’ll help him out a lot.”

OU, Texas seek much-needed victories NORMAN, OKLA. (AP) — It’s a college football experience unlike any other.

It starts with a bus ride into the State Fair of Texas, with fans thumping on the sides and cheering or directing insults and unfriendly gestures toward the riders. Then there’s the walk down the Cotton Bowl field, the chance to stare down your bitter rival face to face before the game begins.

And no matter what’s on the line beyond the Golden Hat trophy at the annual Red River Rivalry, it’s always something special — even if the stakes are a little lower than usual.

No. 13 Oklahoma (3-1, 1-1 Big 12) and No. 15 Texas (4-1, 1-1) will arrive in Dallas on Saturday playing catch-up in the conference standings for a change. Instead of a showdown to get in the driver’s seat in the Big 12, the rivalry is a crucial win both teams need to keep up with No. 5 West Virginia and No. 6 Kansas State.

For the first time since 2007, and the second time since 1997, both teams al-

“

You never know what’s going to happen in the Big 12 or in college football, period. We’re definitely going to try to go out there and get this win, try and give it our all but we don’t really think of the negatives yet.”

— Oklahoma cornerback Aaron Colvin ready have a conference loss behind their names.

“It doesn’t have any different feel,” Sooners coach Bob Stoops said.

“Not in my eyes.”

It’ll be the 14th straight time Stoops has gone up against Texas’ Mack Brown, with the two teams combining to win nine of the last 13 conference titles. The loser this time could end up two games back in the league standings.

So, could this be an early October elimination game?

“I wouldn’t ever say that,” Sooners cornerback Aaron Colvin said. “We don’t want to get too high.

We don’t want to get too low.

“You never know what’s going to happen in the Big 12 or in college football, period. We’re definitely going to try to go out there and get this win, try and give it

our all but we don’t really think of the negatives yet.”

The potential is certainly there, though. Oklahoma lost on its home field last month against Kansas State, and Texas was beaten at home just last week

by West Virginia. Don’t forget that the Sooners must travel to face the Mountaineers, and the Longhorns finish the regular season at K-State.

“We can’t afford to take any more losses and we can’t afford to take any steps backward. We’re trying to move forward in everything that we do,” Oklahoma defensive end R.J. Washington said.

“But it’s Texas. It’s going to be high-energy. There’s going to be an unruly crowd. Things aren’t going to go your way, but you’ve just got to keep pushing.

I think the first couple games we’ve had have helped us get through that.

We’ve gone through some adversity. We’ve battled back from that.”

The Sooners are coming off of a 41-20 win at previously unbeaten Texas Tech, ending a threegame losing streak in Lubbock. Before that, they had off weeks bracketing the 24-19 loss to Kansas State, and Stoops thought all the down time stunted the team’s development.

“Now, hopefully we can get in a rhythm. ...

You really make your improvement, I think, when you’re on the field playing in game situations, and hopefully we can take some strides and keep improving,” Stoops said.

The only setback Monday was the news that backup offensive lineman Nila Kasitati was lost for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.

The Sooners have won

the last two games in the series, including a 55-17 decision last season, after losing four of the previous five. After a weekend when three of the nation’s top five teams lost, they’re still harboring the grandest of hopes.

“We’re trying to get to the national championship,” Colvin said. “We’re trying to win big games.

We definitely want to beat those guys just because it’s such a big rivalry, but at the end of the day, we need this win for us.”

“You really never know with college football. ...

We’ve still got a chance,” he added. “You never know what’ll happen. If odds work out in our favor, then we’ll be blessed to have that situation and we’ll definitely go out there and play hard.”

For now, though, it’s all about beating the Longhorns. Any chances at the Big 12 and national championships depend on it.

“It’s anybody’s game right now,” Washington said. “It could come down to the wire, so every game is as important as every other game. ”

Missouri struggling in SEC COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — A season that began with the promise of sharing the stage with college football royalty is threatening to turn sour for Missouri as the Tigers confront the realities of life in the unforgiving Southeastern Conference.

A 19-15 home loss to perennial conference also-ran Vanderbilt kept Missouri (3-3, 0-3) winless in league games in its first season in the SEC after leaving the Big 12. Missouri is one of five conference teams still seeking its first SEC victory. In Missouri’s case, that means its first SEC victory ever.

Few expect MU to get it when No. 1 Alabama (50, 2-0) visits Faurot Field on Saturday in a coaching matchup pitting former Kent State teammates Gary Pinkel, Missouri’s coach, and the Tide’s Nick Saban.

“This year, there’s so much hype being in the SEC, and you’ve got all the outside voices telling you that you (stink) and you’re not worthy,” senior offensive tackle Elvis Fisher said. “We know what we do here. We work our butts off. And then it’s devastating to go out there and not put on your best performance.”

Missouri started the 2011 season even worse, stumbling to a 2-3 mark before winning its final three regular-season games to finish 7-5 and reach a bowl game for the seventh consecutive year.

That streak is in jeopardy, as the Tigers face a ’Bama team coming off an extra week’s rest and trips to Gainesville, Knoxville and College Station looming in November. Missouri should be favored in its remaining home games

against Kentucky and Syracuse, but will need to beat the Crimson Tide or pull at least one road upset to reach the six wins required for bowl eligibility.

The Tigers will again be without starting quarterback James Franklin, who is expected to be out several weeks after straining a knee ligament against Vandy on a first-quarter scramble. Franklin also missed the season’s third game, a home win over Arizona State after hurting his shoulder a week earlier against Georgia.

His replacement, redshirt freshman Corbin Berkstresser, completed just 9 of 30 passes for 189 yards against Vanderbilt, with 85 of those yards L.G.

Manager Dusty Baker said after the game that they hadn’t decided whether to let Cueto try it, bring back Mat Latos on short rest again, or replace Cueto with Mike Leake, who wasn’t on the division series roster.

Switching out Cueto would leave the Reds ace ineligible to pitch in the championship series should the Reds get that far.

“It’s very difficult, but it all depends on if your ace can’t go or whatever it is,” Baker said. “That’s part of the conversation — us going without him. We realize what’s at stake.”

A’s trip Tigers, avoid sweep OAKLAND, CALIF. (AP) — These Oakland Athletics never count themselves out — down and doubted is their dogma.

Brett Anderson outdueled fellow postseason first-timer Anibal Sanchez and the upstart A’s were stellar on defense all over the diamond, avoiding another playoff sweep by Detroit by beating the Tigers, 2-0, Tuesday night in their AL division series.

The A’s cut their deficit in the best-of-five matchup to 2-1.

Coco Crisp saved a likely home run by Prince Fielder with a leaping catch at the top of the center-field wall in the second — and the A’s will play another day in this improbable season full of remarkable rallies.

Yoenis Cespedes hit an RBI single in the first inning and Seth Smith homered later.

That was plenty on a night Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, Fielder and the Tigers’ highpriced offense were shut down by the low-budget A’s.

Tigers 16-game winner Max Scherzer will try to close out the series in Game 4 Wednesday night against A’s rookie A.J. Griffin. Detroit swept the A’s in the 2006 AL championship series.

Fielder was the biggest victim of Oakland’s spoton defense, robbed three times. First by Crisp, Oak-

SCOREBOARD

NLDS

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joaquin Arias hit a grounder toward third base and took off, covering those 90 feet in a blink as a fullto-capacity ballpark went silent with angst.

Which would get there first, the infielder or the ball? Who would win the decisive playoff dash?

“That’s the fastest I’ve ever run to first,” Arias said.

Fast enough to extend the San Francisco Giants’ season one more day.

Reds third baseman Scott Rolen bobbled the short-hop, giving Arias enough time to beat the throw as the go-ahead run scored for a 2-1 victory Tuesday night that avoided an NL division series sweep.

Hardly able to get a hit the last two games, the Giants turned a passed ball and a misplayed grounder into a win that cut their series deficit to 2-1 and extended Cincinnati’s 17 years of home postseason futility.

“These are the type of games we’ve played all season long,” said Sergio Romo, who pitched the last two innings for the win. “We are a gritty and grinding team.”

And, with their season on the line, a little lucky, too.

“We got a break there at the end,” manager Bruce Bochy said.

Left-hander Barry Zito will pitch Game 4 on Wednesday for the Giants, who have won the last 11 times he started.

The Reds have to decide whether to try ace Johnny Cueto, forced out of the opener in San Francisco on Saturday with spasms in his back and side.

Wednesday, October 10, 2012

Fielder grounded into a game-ending double play.

The A’s own the lowest payroll in baseball at $59.5 million. Fielder is getting big money in Motown: $214 million over nine years.

Anderson, back on the mound for the first time since straining a muscle in his right side Sept. 19 at Detroit, worked quickly and showed no signs of a layoff or jitters in his first postseason start.

That’s just not the way the A’s have operated this year.

Last week, Oakland entered its final three-game series of the regular season needing to sweep the two-time reigning AL champion Rangers to capture the AL West — and the A’s did it, sending a stunned Texas team to the one-game wild card, which it lost to Baltimore.

A club with a majorsbest 14 walkoff wins and countless whipped cream pie celebrations snapped the longest postseason skid in franchise history at six games.

“We’ve played a lot of games when we lost tough games and we’ve come back and won the next day,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said earlier. “We do have some history with that.”

Anderson faced the minimum in three of his four innings, throwing 51 pitches through four.

Beef stew comes together quickly

By J.M. Hirsch AP Food Editor

Almost by definition, beef stew isn’t a weeknight-friendly dish.

That’s mostly a matter of the meat. Stew meat generally is tough and requires a long simmer to become tender. But who has time for a long simmer at the end of a long day at work?

But stews are so right for the season, it seemed a shame to give them up. Sure, you could plan ahead and make them on the weekend. But I’m guessing that I’m not the only person whose weekends rarely are relaxed enough to spend much time contemplating my dinners for the rest of the week.

Instead, I decided to come up with a beef stew that could be tossed together on a weeknight. It was easier than I expected.

The first step was replacing the meat. Stew meat was right out. Tender sirloin tips worked perfectly.

But it was important to adapt the cooking technique to this cut of meat.

If I just tossed it into the pot and let it cook with the rest of the ingredients, they would end up tough from overcooking. But I didn’t want to add them only at the end, either, as this would prevent browning.

The solution was browning the meat first, then setting it aside while the other ingredients cooked. The meat then was returned to pot toward the end of cooking.

The result was perfect taste and texture.

Speedy Beef and Butternut Stew Start to finish: 45 minutes (15 minutes active) Servings: 6 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 1/2 pounds sirloin beef tips, cut into 1-inch chunks 3 cups cubed butternut squash (1/2-inch cubes) 1 cup baby carrots, halved 1 large yellow onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes 2 cups beef broth 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder Salt and ground black pepper In a large saucepan over medium-high, heat the oil.

Add the beef, in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan, and cook, turning, until browned on all sides but still rare at the center, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to a plate.

Return the saucepan to the heat and add the squash and carrots. If the pan is too dry to easily saute the vegetables, you can add a splash of olive oil. Saute until the squash begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, then continue to cook until the onion is tender, about another 6 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, broth, paprika, thyme and mustard powder. Bring to a simmer and cook until the carrots and squash are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Return the beef to the pot, as well as any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Simmer for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.

Not sure what creme fraiche is or why you should care?

Consider it a relative of sour cream. Except that while both are white, thick and creamy, creme fraiche is the richer, sexier and more talented relative.

Here’s the deal. Like yogurt, sour cream and creme fraiche are dairy products produced thanks to the miracle of friendly bacteria. But while yogurt is made by adding those bacteria to milk, sour cream and creme fraiche are made by adding them to cream.

So what’s the difference? Sour cream is made from cream that is 20 percent fat; creme fraiche sports an even more succulent 30 percent.

That may not sound like a big difference, but it matters in both taste and versatility. That extra fat turns creme fraiche into a kitchen workhorse.

But first, taste. While

A CROQUE MONSIEUR gets an added layer of flavor from creme fraiche. sour cream tastes, well ... sour, creme fraiche is rich and tart. And as a byproduct of the bacteria added to produce it, creme fraiche tends to make other foods taste buttery.

But unlike yogurt, creme fraiche isn’t particularly acidic (so it’s not great for marinades).

The trouble with sour cream is that you have to be very careful when cooking with it. Heat it too much and it curdles. Ditto

for yogurt. But the higher fat content of creme fraiche means you can boil with abandon and it won’t separate. This makes it ideal for soups, sauces and simmered dishes.

It will, however, liquefy. That means that if you add it to the top of something, then toss it under the broiler (as in the recipe for croque monsieur below), or even just dollop it onto something hot, it will melt.

Chicken and dumplings a bowl of comfort Blended wines

can be superb

By Alison Ladman

For The Associated Press

A basic chicken soup is fine for when you need warmth and comfort.

But what about those particularly blustery fall evenings when fine isn’t sufficient? For those evenings, we have created this more robust take on the basic chicken soup, a version that oozes even more comfort and warmth thanks to the starches and savory ingredients.

First, the latter. We amplify the savory side of this soup by sauteing a half pound of mixed mushrooms. For good measure, we also add a handful of dried porcini mushrooms.

For starchy comfort, we top the soup with pillowy soft dumplings. And to tie it all together, we lace the dumplings with savory Parmesan cheese.

Want to make it vegetarian? Just substitute vegetable broth and leave out the chicken.

Mushroom and Chicken Barley Soup with Parmesan Dumplings Start to finish: 45 minutes Servings: 6 For the soup: 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms, chopped 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil 1 pound mixed sliced mushrooms

By Fred Tasker McClatchy-Tribune News Service

MUSHROOM AND CHICKEN BARLEY SOUP WITH PARMESAN DUMPLINGS is a warm, filling comfort food.

Salt 2 medium shallots, sliced 1 leek, white part only, sliced 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed 1/2 cup pearled barley 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme Ground black pepper 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth For the dumplings: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Pinch cayenne pepper

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 eggs 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted In a small bowl, combine the porcini mushrooms with 1 cup of boiling water. Set aside.

In a large deep pot, such as a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the mixed mushrooms and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Saute until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the shallots and the leeks and continue to cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.

Add the chicken and cook just until browned. It does not need to cook through.

stead of a crouton.

The Rieger’s fall menu, rolling out this month, will feature biscuits with rabbit-heart, -liver and -kidney gravy as well as pork cheek pie in a savory crust.

Hanna also plans to serve an “old-school” dish called “Butcher’s Treat” — his version, at least, calls for poached veal brains, chopped and dusted with flour, then sauteed until crispy and brown and served with scrambled eggs over toast.

The dish is a throwback to one served in early England, France and even the United States, Hanna said.

Small restaurants made it for butchers who needed a hardy meal and a beer when their shifts ended at dawn.

“It was a cut that was tough to sell but really delicious,” Hanna said of the brains. “So it was something that the butchers kept for themselves.”

Port Fonda chef and owner Patrick Ryan said Tacos de Lengua (Spanish for tongue) is among best-selling dishes at his restaurant, 4141 Pennsylvania Ave. in Kansas City, Mo. The modern Mexican hot spot also serves menudo, a spicy soup with beef tripe, and moronga, a pig’s blood sausage.

“Some people are just a little weirded out by it,” Ryan said of the sausage, a traditional Latin American item he puts his own spin on by mixing with cheese and stuffing into poblano peppers. But apparently not everyone, he

Tongue tacos, menudo and other offal dishes aren’t unusual at momand-pop Mexican restaurants, though Ryan said Port Fonda aims to make them approachable for an “American audience.”

“A lot of people that are really into food love the fact that they serve that stuff,” he said. “We just kind of wanted to do it and make it a little more mainstream.”

Prepping and pairing Expert preparation can help take the edge off meat cuts infamous for being tough, gamey or just plain strange.

“You can’t just serve something and have it on your menu because it sounds cool,” said Beard, of 715. “You want people to actually try it and like it, and want to try it again.”

Beard butchers his own pigs, goats and lambs and knows the flavor nuances of each animal’s liver — pork is fuller-flavored, for example, while lamb is

more delicate.

Over-cooking liver concentrates the flavors, which isn’t necessarily good in an already pungent meat, Beard said.

Cooking organ meat with bold spices or pairing it with sweetness such as caramelized onions, port sauce or a fruit-forward Italian wine also helps take the edge off.

At the Rieger, preparing sweetbreads is a three-day process of brining, poaching, peeling, pressing to extract excess blood, flouring, sauteeing and “basting like crazy,” Hanna said.

Port Fonda brines beef tongue five days to reach the melt-in-your-mouth pot roast consistency of its Tacos de Lengua, Ryan said. Spicy salsa and fresh onion, cilantro and lime juice — and maybe a cold, spicy michelada to drink — complete the package.

be sure you’re not getting lumps.

Once the broccoli is tender, it’s time to blend. You can use a food processor or a traditional blender but I really like my immersion blender for this application.

Once you have effectively removed all lumps, you can add in the cheese and stir until it is melted. If you don’t think your soup is thick enough, you can make a slurry of 1/2 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to add in and simmer to add extra thickness.

Start by melting the butter in the bottom of a large stock pot. Add the flour and whisk together to make a paste. Then, over medium high heat, start slowly adding in chicken broth and whisking to make sure there are no lumps. Next, add the chopped onions, the milk and the broccoli.

Stir, and (leaving the lid off) simmer at an almostboil until the broccoli is As for the panko chicktender, about 20 minutes, en tenders, it’s a cinch and whisking regularly. The mix- it’s a great complement to ture should be thickening so the meal. A little spicy, a

black pepper, the broth and the porcinis with the soaking water. Cover and reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer until the barley is tender, about 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne. Stir in the parmesan. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk, then the melted butter. Gently stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined.

Drop the dumpling mixture by the tablespoon onto the top of the soup. Cover, bring to a boil and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. fal fandom — and comfort cooking it — grew while attending culinary school in Italy.

Hanna is a Manhattan native whose Samoan mother followed tradition by playing host to a pig roast on his 1st birthday; the adults enjoy the pig and toss an ear to the teething toddler.

“I had my first pig ear at age 1, and I pretty much never looked back,” he said.

Hanna cooked in Lawrence briefly before heading to culinary school in New York City and on to cooking stints in France and Italy. He came to appreciate the waste-not approach many other cultures embrace when it comes to meat.

At the Rieger, Hanna said his offal customers seem to be those who tried similar dishes while traveling abroad, a few whose friends convinced them to try something new, and generations whose parents or grandparents used to cook the “forgotten” cuts.

“It’s edgy and cool, and that attracts a certain clientele,” Hanna said. “But it’s also a tradition that I think resonates with older people.”

Hanna would like to see the trend catch on with larger or chain restaurants — but not treated as freakish.

“I kind of hate it when it’s approached as ... shock-value kind of stuff,” Hanna said. “People are seeing this stuff as really legitimate, traditional foods that are coming back.”

In a barber shop quartet, a tenor sings the melody, a countertenor sings above and a baritone and bass sing below.

Wine blends create harmonies in similar ways.

Wines blended from two or more grapes are among the world’s best, most expensive. They range from traditional ones with centuries-old formulas to freewheeling blends that mix almost anything, occasionally even white grapes among the reds.

At the traditional end, France’s red Bordeaux, arguably the standard for the world’s red wines, are blends of at least two of the following five grapes: cabernet sauvignon for structure and rich berry flavors; merlot for smoothness; cabernet franc for aromas of flowers and earth; malbec for inky violet hue and petit verdot for spice.

In old days, blending was done in hopes the strengths of one grape would cover the shortcomings of another. If the late-ripening cabernet sauvignon didn’t get fully mature, merlot would smooth it out with sweet fruit and soft tannins. And so on.

These scientific days, growers can make excellent unblended wines most years from most grape varieties. California’s Echelon Vineyards 2010 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is 100 percent from that grape.

Still, winemakers often blend in other grapes simply to make the best wine they can. Or, one suspects, just for fun.

And since Bordeaux’s red wines, with their five-grape recipe, are the world standard, a group of American vintners in 1988 formed the Meritage Association to make wines here to that formula.

Today, the Meritagealliance.com website lists 283 winery members in 22 states from California to Idaho to West Virginia. Its goal is to create “an American expression of excellence for wines blended in the Bordeaux tradition.”

Outside the Bordeaux/ Meritage formula, American winemakers are experimenting with evermore audacious blends including dozens of grapes.

One small problem: Many wine fans, even restaurant wine stewards, don’t understand the Meritage concept. So there’s a lot of mislabeling in wine lists. Some pragmatic list-writers throw up their hands and create a single wine list category called “Meritages and Red Blends.” To see what you’re getting, you might have to ask to see the bottle’s back label.

Finally, if you want to be pedantic, Meritage isn’t pronounced meriTAAGHE in the French way. It’s a combination of “merit” and “heritage,” and it rhymes with the latter.

That should boost your

Adventures in eating

Top photos by Sara Shepherd, Lawrence Journal-World

Trendy restaurants take offal to new culinary level — and there’s nothing awful about it “

By Sara Shepherd

sshepherd@ljworld.com

In the basement prep kitchen at Lawrence’s 715 restaurant, Michael Beard is carefully wrapping a sticky-looking web of white tissue around a palm-size lump of meat.

He pins the wrapping closed with a toothpick and a laurel leaf, slides his creation in the oven, then plates the finished product atop a bed of sweet caramelized onions. Add a glass of Sangiovese and — voila! — caul fat and pork liver have just become a gourmet treat.

Animal brains, glands, tails, intestines, feet and other organs are nothing new at many ethnic eateries. But the oft-spurned meat parts known as offal have made their way into some of the area’s hippest mainstream restaurants, where chefs say foodies and more timid diners alike seem to be nibbling.

Beard, executive chef and owner at 715, 715 Mass., plans to serve his

I’m really surprised how fast we sell the testicles.

We sell them out in a weekend — it’s crazy.”

— Chef Michael Beard, 715 restaurant

fegalo appetizer — an Italian-style liver sausage encased in fatty membrane surrounding the heart and other organs — as a weekend special this fall.

In addition to the fried chicken livers on 715’s regular dinner menu, diners might also have the option of stewed beef, pork or lamb heart paprikash, or seared testicles with aioli and pickled peppers.

“I’m really surprised how fast we sell the testicles,” Beard said. “We sell them out in a weekend — it’s crazy.”

A few blocks away at Pachamamas, 800 N.H., chef Ken Baker’s fall menu includes Rice Crisped Sweetbreads — veal glands, such as

the pancreas and thalamus — with cauliflower brandade and candied apple-chili pickles.

Offal dishes have popped up on seasonal menus at Pachamamas, a long-standing Lawrence restaurant, for years, general manager Richard Garcia said.

For the most part, Garcia said, his customers don’t seem turned-off by items such as trotters and foie gras.

“Maybe it’s proliff eration from television food programs, or maybe people are more curious these days about other parts of the animal,” Garcia said. “I think nose-to-tail eating — in a really good way — is becoming kind of hip.”

On the menu At the Rieger Hotel Grill and Exchange, 1924 Main St. in Kansas City, Mo., owner and chef Howard Hanna said one of his most popular dishes is a “play on French onion soup,” topped with fried pig skin in-

THE FEGALO APPETIZER is an occasional special at 715, 715 Mass. The dish, served atop caramelized onions, features Italian-style pork liver sausage wrapped in caul fat — the fat that encases the pig’s vital organs such as the heart and liver — and garnished with a laurel leaf. AT TOP, FROM LEFT, Pork Cheek Pie will soon be on the new dinner menu at the Rieger Hotel Grill and Exchange, 1924 Main St., Kansas City, Mo.; Tacos de Lengua (tongue) and Sopa Port Fonda, which includes Please see OFFAL, page 9B pork belly, are served at Port Fonda, 4141 Pennsylvania Ave., Kansas City, Mo.

Broccoli Cheese Soup opens a fall feast

I,,

like everyone else, look forward to the advent of fall for several reasons: boots, hoodies, fires and soup. Right?

Those are the things everyone likes about fall.

Wrong.

Not my husband. Mr. Meat and Potatoes likes fall because of football.

That’s it. As for the items on my list, he can go for a fire, he’s ambivalent about the attire, and he’s almost downright against soup.

Wha?? Who doesn’t like soup?

To be fair, it’s not that he doesn’t like soup, it’s just that, as he puts it, “Soup is not a meal.” So I guess it’s not that he won’t eat soup, p

But, because I am who THE FLYING FORK I am, I charge ahead with

a blog by Megan Stuke or has declared some sort of war on food that comes in bowls, but that soup, to him, just doesn’t cut it. He doesn’t get excited about soup, because to him, it’s like a garden salad. Sure, he’ll eat it before a meal if you put it in front of him, but it doesn’t really catch his attention.

my soup-making anyway, but I know I can’t just call it dinner. I have to make something else to go with it. And this is where it gets even trickier. He eats two sandwiches EVERY DAY for lunch at work. So even if I put together a miraculous hot sandwich laden with special sauces and meats and grilled onions and fairy dust, he’s a little “meh” about it, because, well, ANOTHER SANDWICH. So, soup and sandwich isn’t really a great option either. But, soup and WHAT? Because I want my soup, so I have to find a way y to make it a

complete meal.

Last week, I made broccoli cheese soup. I wanted a meaty dinner complement my husband would enjoy, and I thought since the soup is creamy and mild, I’d do something with a little crunch and zip. To accompany our soup, then, we had some crusty French bread and some panko buffalo chicken tenders. So easy, so good.

My soup recipe makes a lot because I like to have enough for several lunches and maybe a dinner leftover. Please feel free to halve it.

Dear Annie: My husband and I have a 20-yearold daughter, “Brianna.”

We pay for her private college tuition, as well as all of her expenses.

In August, Brianna was invited for a weeklong trip to Hawaii with her boyfriend’s family. She decided to go without discussing it with us. We had made plans to get her a new apartment that week so she could move in prior to classes starting, and she totally blew us off.

I am so hurt by this. It seems disrespectful to us and to the commitment she has as a daughter. I have communicated very little with her since she left for school. How can I let her know this behavior is unacceptable? I am also disappointed in her boyfriend, who has known us long enough to be more sensitive to our family. What should I do?

— A Mom

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

Dear Mom: Yes, it was rude that Brianna did not discuss the change in plans with you, but she is trying to assert her independence, and we recommend you let her.

That means she should make more of her own decisions, and you need to stop paying for them.

If Brianna receives a free trip to Hawaii and blows off apartment hunting, let her handle her own living arrangements. Don’t do it for her or fret that she won’t have a place to live. She’ll manage. Let her find a part-time job to

Is ‘Nashville’ Britton’s finest hour?

Connie Britton (“Friday Night Lights,” ‘‘American Horror Story”) gets yet another great role.

She stars as Rayna Jaymes in “Nashville” (9 p.m.), ABC’s slick, smart and instantly addictive new adult soap opera set in the heart of the country music business.

Filled with catchy songs as well as some credible characters, “Nashville” wastes no time laying down a series of overlapping melodramas. The reigning queen of country music for two decades running, Rayna has seen her sales slip and her concert venues shrink. She’s threatened personally and professionally by bratty young sensation Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), whose appeal seems as much about long legs and cleavage as real talent.

Rayna’s problems — and the show’s intrigue — are hardly confined to the music business.

Rayna clearly has daddy issues.

She hates him. And that’s difficult when he’s Lamar Wyatt (Powers Boothe), Nashville’s most powerful businessman. Rayna’s husband, Teddy (Eric Close), has long suffered in her shadow, and his status as a provider took a beating when he lost his fortune in the financial crash. Things get stickier still when mover-andshaker Lamar drafts Teddy to run for mayor, even after Rayna has pledged her support to a rival candidate.

If the pot weren’t boiling hard enough, there’s a songwriter torn between working for the charttopping Juliette and the torch he’s been holding for Rayna.

There’s a cute waitress who just happens to write poems and sing like an angel. Think she’ll get discovered? And even the tantrumprone Juliette has dark family secrets that threaten to give her cardboard character unexpected depth.

Tonight’s other highlights

“Nature” (7 p.m., PBS) looks for Siberian tigers.

A writer of smutty novels is assaulted on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” (8 p.m., NBC).

On two helpings of “Modern Family” (ABC): college daze (8 p.m.), Phil’s painful procedure (8:30 p.m.).

“NOVA” (8 p.m., PBS) explores Viking sword-making.

The scales of justice weigh the fate of a “Half-Ton Killer” (8 p.m., TLC).

A grim banquet on “CSI” (9 p.m., CBS).

“NOVA scienceNOW” (9 p.m., PBS) examines attributes that set humans apart.

pay for things you don’t want to finance. Help her become a responsible, mature adult instead of a dependent child. You’ll be grateful later.

Dear Annie: I’ve been married to “Charlie” for 35 years. He is now semiretired and works an afternoon shift three days a week. He wakes up minutes before going to work and comes home an hour before my bedtime.

On his days off, he sleeps until dinnertime. He says there is no reason to get up during the day.

I have tried staying up later, but I get too sleepy.

I am in my 50s now, and the kids have left the nest.

I’ve made lots of friends who are available during the day, but I don’t want to keep living this way. I miss my husband. Charlie and I have been to counseling numerous times, but it hasn’t changed anything. What do I do? — Lonely in Kentucky

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Wednesday, Oct. 10: If ever you were to have a proclivity for intensity and drama, it would be this year. You could be mistaken for a drama queen or king. If you are single, a friendship could be vital to a special relationship. If you are attached, do more as a couple.

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 want to let a difficult situation alone and instead watch how others work through it.

Listen to your inner voice. Tonight: Paint the town red.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Having priorities is important. However, handling the other areas of your life is equally imperative. Tonight: Mosey on home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You make that extra effort, and others respond accordingly. Use positive thinking in order to manifest a wish. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Curb a need to go overboard. You might feel quite touched by someone’s thoughtfulness. Tonight: Use some self-discipline.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Thoughts that come to you in your sleep might be unusually significant right now. A close friend might be the perfect person to share this information with, as he or she could give you feedback.

Tonight: All smiles.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might not want to be an active participant in what goes on today, as you could be thinking about a proposal. A boss or higherup has a lot to share. Tonight: Not to

Dear Kentucky: Charlie would rather sleep late than spend time with you.

It could be that he’s avoiding you, is depressed or that his internal clock is simply set later. You could try to change your sleep habits to match his, waking up later so you aren’t too tired to stay up until the wee hours.

Counseling helps only if both parties agree to work on what needs to be changed. If Charlie won’t address this, you can get counseling on your own and decide whether you will put up with the current situation in order to stay married. If you opt to stick around, adjust your attitude so that your focus is not on Charlie and his sleep habits, but on whatever makes you happy when you’re awake.

be found.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Zero in on priorities. You cannot get past a problem without first having a discussion with a key resource. Tonight: First, find your friends. The rest will happen naturally.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You understand your role in a project, and you don’t hesitate to do what is needed to accomplish the end results. A partner teams up with you and helps you accomplish more. Tonight: Up late!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Let your mind expand as you play around with a certain situation. You might start to see a situation far differently, or in many different ways, as a result. Tonight: Reach out for someone at a distance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Deal with individuals directly. The conversations that ensue will demonstrate their caring.

Tonight: Brainstorm over dinner.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You’ll discover much more of what is happening with others. You could get feedback from loved ones when trying to make plans. Tonight: Spontaneity works well.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a lot to do, and you will get it done — as long as you do not allow someone to distract you. Your imagination could lead you down some interesting paths today, even literal ones.

Tonight: Get to the gym.
