SUNSHINE FALLS ON DOWNTOWN LAWRENCE and the river valley to the northeast as viewed Saturday from The Oread, 1200 Oread Ave. Downtown’s tallest building include the Hobbs Taylor Lofts at 730 N.H., rising at far left, the U.S. Bank tower at Ninth and Massachusetts streets, and the new seven-story apartment/retail/office project at Ninth and New Hampshire streets at center right. As downtown development brings taller buildings, city commissioners are dealing with the issue of how these buildings produce long shadows and what it means for the surrounding neighborhoods.

Vertical expansion of downtown School refinance draws more than shadow of a doubt plan doesn’t add

all sorts of odd questions, but this one seems unique even

by City Hall standards.

Does Lawrence want to keep its small-city sun?

Sure, technically, the sun in the sky is the same star for everyone. But anyone who has been to a big-city downtown — a New York, a Chicago, even The Plaza in Kansas City — can attest that the sun is different there.

In short, it is felt and seen less often. Big buildings do that. It is an almost inescapable fact of Mother Nature that tall structures produce long shadows.

Soon, city leaders will have to decide how they want to grapple with that fact. A team of developers led by Lawrence businessman Doug Compton is trying to win City Hall approval for essentially a six-story building at

— Architect Dennis Domer the southeast corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets.

The proposal follows construction of a seven-story building that is nearly complete on the corner across the street from the proposed site. Yes, it, too, produces a shadow. Just ask the outdoor coffee drinkers at the nearby Bourgeois Pig or Z’s Divine Espresso.

But this latest proposal is different because it is adjacent to a district of historic homes and businesses in the 900 block of Rhode Island Street. The block includes some of the older residences in the city and businesses like the Social Service League Thrift Store and an east Lawrence art gallery.

Several neighbors in the area have come out in opposition to the project for a variety of reasons, but the shadows are near the top of the list. It has left developers with a tough argument to make. It is tough to deny that a big building produces a shadow.

So, instead, they make the argument that it is tough to deny that downtowns are meant to have tall buildings.

“Unfortunately, there are going to be some houses next door to these. Oftentimes there are,” said Mike Treanor, a Lawrence architect who is a partner in the project. “That’s the way it is in a lot of cities, and it works.”

But city, and how you de-

fine that, seems to be the key word here.

“We’re not a truly big city,” said Town Peterson, who has lived in his home in the 900 block of Rhode Island Street for 14 years. “I’ve lived in Chicago and Mexico City.

Those are truly big cities, and when you’re deciding to live in their downtowns you approach that much different than you do downtown Lawrence.”

The dilemma Put more simply, the question that city commissioners soon may be facing is: What’s the future of tall buildings in downtown Lawrence?

One Lawrence architect said he thinks it is “inevitable” that New Hampshire and Vermont streets will be home to many five- to sevenstory buildings in the coming decades. (That’s tall by Lawrence standards. No one seems to be thinking more

Attorney for districts suing state says Brownback proposal would worsen inequities

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback says he wants to overhaul the public school finance system to avoid lengthy litigation that has surrounded the major funding function of state government.

“I am tired, and I don’t think it is effective that the system and the money has been decided by the courts for the last 20 years instead of the Legislature,” Brownback has said.

“Here is a plan that we think can address our needs and not Brownback go through litigation. It doesn’t engage the public when you do these things through litigation. You engage the public when you engage the Legislature,” he said.

Old DNA evidence could be key in cold case

JOE JONES, WHO SPENT eight years in prison before being cleared of a rape through DNA evidence, now hopes that DNA can help identify a suspect.

Jones is shown in downtown Topeka near where the crime occurred in 1985.

The Topeka Police Cold Case Unit has started an investigation into whether DNA evidence from 1992 — stored in a cooler in California — might be able to solve a decades-old rape case, said Sgt. Rich Volle, head of the Cold Case Unit.

A Lawrence Journal-World investigation identified the existence of the DNA as part of a special feature on the case of Topeka resident Joe Jones, who was released from a Kansas

that supposedly need more density. She notes that downtown is surrounded by three of the more densely built neighborhoods in the city.

“Are we chopped liver?”

Walsh asks when the density argument comes up. “We live very densely in east Lawrence.”

Other architects agree that there needs to be more people living within downtown itself.

But they’re not totally convinced that it will take a number of new five- to seven-story buildings to accomplish it.

Chad Foster, a Lawrence resident who is an architect for Johnson County government and a member of Lawrence’s Historic Resources Commission, said he thinks the city ought to look at the city-owned surface parking lots that line Vermont and New Hampshire streets.

He said the city might want to consider public-private partnerships to convert a number of those into developments that would have a couple of levels of underground parking and two to three levels of living space above ground.

He said that might satisfy the need to have more people living downtown but also placate neighbors, who have shown some willingness to consider buildings of three or four stories in height.

He also said those types of buildings might have a better chance of peacefully coexisting with Lawrence’s historic downtown. Foster voted against the six-story building proposal when it was unanimously denied by the Historic Resources Commission last month.

“I think there are plenty of projects that can work in downtown,” Foster said. “You can go too far with historic preservation and become the ‘museum city’ where nothing ever changes. That is pretty unrealistic and rare. The cities that are the healthiest are the ones that evolve and grow.”

A plan City leaders have been united on the idea that downtown needs more density and it needs more people living in it. But when it comes to tall buildings, it may not have the plans and regulations in place that allow them to happen easily.

The city’s planning staff has recommended denial of the proposed building at Ninth and New Hampshire.

It points to the city’s Down-

system for funding schools unconstitutional.

Legislators responded to the court ruling by approving new funding to raise the base state aid for all students and then targeting funds for students who were deemed at risk of failing. But legislators have taken back much of that funding over the past three years as state revenues declined during the recession.

The state’s base state aid to public schools is now $3,780 per student, the lowest level since the 1999-2000 school.

In the 2008-09 school year, it was $4,400 per pupil. The cut in funding has resulted in fewer teachers and more crowded classrooms.

Robb said that contrary to Brownback’s contention, the formula used to divvy up school funding is fine. It is the failure to adequately fund

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -W ORLD town Design Guidelines.

They state, in part: “The height of new buildings and additions shall relate to the prevailing heights of nearby buildings. New construction that greatly varies in height from adjacent buildings shall not be permitted.”

Depending on how you read that statement, it can create a chicken-or-the-egg type of dilemma. The downtown doesn’t have many six-, sevenor eight-story buildings, so likely any new ones will be out of compliance with those portions of the guidelines.

That could be a problem because some architects say downtown is going to need several multistory buildings to reach its goal of significantly increasing the number of people living downtown.

Treanor said he could see downtown needing another 400 living units. That’s not likely to happen with just one or two more buildings.

Domer said he can think of several lots that could house large buildings — the site of the Pachamama’s building at 800 N.H.; the Journal-World parking lot near Seventh and New Hampshire, the vacant lot near the Old English Lutheran Church at 11th and New Hampshire — and thinks Vermont Street probably even has more potential than New Hampshire.

“I know, for some people, happiness is to never have anything change,” Domer said. “But some of us love change. That is the great potential of this downtown. We can move it into the (21st) century and protect what we have but enhance it with what is new.”

Domer thinks the city ought to create a comprehensive plan for New Hampshire and Vermont streets that would spell out potential building heights for particular lots. He said that would avoid “piecemeal planning” that will result in a disjointed downtown.

Treanor certainly doesn’t want to argue against planning, but he also doesn’t want the city to delay the proposal at Ninth and New Hampshire, which probably will be heard by commissioners He said it is important for the city to make a statement about the future.

“We’re going to find out soon,” Treanor said, “whether the city has the will.”

the formula that is causing problems, he said.

“You can build the best car on the planet, but if you don’t put gas in it, it’s not going anywhere,” Robb said.

The case is set to go to trial in June 2012.

KU student named Rhodes scholar

Officials: 32 homes destroyed in fire The estimated number of homes destroyed in a wind-fueled wildfire in Reno more than doubled on Saturday to a total of 32, but Gov. Brian Sandoval said it’s a miracle scores more weren’t lost.

A re-evaluation of the 2,000-acre burn on Saturday found much more destruction and damage than initially reported, Reno Fire Chief Mike Hernandez said.

The unusual, out-of-season blaze spread by galeforce winds and ripped through the Sierra foothills early Friday, forcing the evacuation of nearly 10,000 people. Most started returning to their homes Saturday afternoon.

“This was not only a wild land, urban-interface type fire, it was also a metro fire where we had homes that were actively burning in densely populated areas,” Hernandez said.

Many families “had to leave in the middle of the night with very, very limited possessions and they are coming back to devastation, to nothing,” he said.

“So our hearts and prayers go out to those families.”

Son of Moammar Gadhafi captured Moammar Gadhafi’s former heir apparent Seif alIslam was captured by revolutionary fighters in the southern desert Saturday just more than a month after his father was killed, setting off joyous celebrations across Libya and closing the door on the possibility that the fugitive son could stoke further insurrection.

Seif al-Islam, who has undergone a transformation from a voice of reform in an eccentric and reviled regime to one of Interpol’s most-wanted, now faces the prospect of trial before an international or Libyan court to answer for the alleged crimes of his late father’s four-decade rule over the oil-rich North African nation.

Thunderous celebratory gunfire shook the Libyan capital of Tripoli and other cities after Libyan officials said Seif al-Islam, who has been charged by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, had been detained about 30 miles west of the town of Obari in an area that borders Niger, Mali and Algeria.

Egypt police clash with protesters Egyptian riot police firing tear gas and rubber bullets stormed into Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Saturday to dismantle a protest tent camp, setting off clashes that killed two protesters, injured hundreds and raised tensions days before the first elections since Hosni Mubarak’s ouster.

The scenes of protesters fighting with black-clad police forces were reminiscent of the 18-day uprising that forced an end to Mubarak’s rule in February.

Hundreds of protesters fought back, hurling stones and setting an armored police vehicle ablaze.

The violence raised fears of new unrest surrounding the parliamentary elections that are due to begin Nov. 28. Public anger has risen over the slow pace of reforms and apparent attempts by Egypt’s ruling generals to retain power over a future civilian government.

KU students lend a hand in exchange for Habitat donations

Group backs talks with U.S. on troops President Hamid Karzai received a resounding endorsement Saturday from a traditional national assembly to negotiate a security agreement that could keep a U.S. military presence in Afghanistan past 2014, when most international forces are to have left. The size of the force is subject to negotiations but a future deal could keep thousands of American troops here for years.

The nonbinding resolution issued at the end of a Loya Jirga assembly also suggested some conditions for the talks between Afghan and American officials, including an end to unpopular night raids by military forces searching for insurgents.

The more than 2,000 people who attended the four-day meeting asked Karzai to ensure the United States hands over all detainees to Afghan custody and limits any agreement to 10 years. They also said the future pact must be approved by parliament.

“We will act on the basis of your consultation,” Karzai told the assembled delegates.

As part of a future deal, both sides envision a force of several thousand U.S. troops, who would train Afghan forces and help with counterterrorism operations. The pact would outline the legal status of that force in Afghanistan, rules under which it would operate and where it would be based.

A group of 22 Kansas University students were “for hire” on Saturday. No, it’s not what you may be thinking — some recent grads looking for company work.

Instead, this was a group of volunteers involved with Habitat for Humanity who participated in the annual event to lend out a few hours of yard work in exchange for donations to group’s ongoing projects to help build better low-income housing.

Vicky Heather hired the Habitat kids to rake leaves around her west Lawrence home. She said the program helped everybody involved because she couldn’t manage to complete the work by herself.

“I thought that this would be a good way to help a cause, and I’m pretty proud of KU students volunteering their time like that,” she said.

Joel Rosenberger, a KU fresh-

Mike Yoder/Journal-World Photo

man who volunteered his Saturday morning at Heather’s house, also said that the “for-hire” model gave each party involved something in return and that he’s excited to be a part of a build day on a Habitat house later this spring.

KU chapter president Brittany Krutty, a junior studying physics, said that the group works closely with the Lawrence Habitat for Humanity group to work toward the national organization’s goal to “eliminate substandard housing.”

STEFANIE CARNAHAN, KU freshman from Beckemeyer, Ill., rakes leaves at a Lawrence home Saturday. Students from the Habitat campus chapter volunteered for odd jobs in the Lawrence community for donations to Habitat.

The event raised about $1,150 in all, Krutty said Saturday evening.

She got involved with group, which has a lot of architecture majors but isn’t exclusive to folks with construction experience or knowhow, as a freshman because she needed community service hours as a scholarship requirement.

“But after that, I just fell in love with it,” she said.

The most damaging scandal in sports history, rife with victims, enabling authority figures and an alleged monster, also includes one man not as easy to judge as the rest.

His name is Mike McQueary, supplier of the most damning testimony in the case of Jerry Sandusky, alleged child molester and former defensive coordinator under sainted Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.

McQueary testified to the grand jury that he saw Sandusky raping a boy of about 10 years old in the Penn State football locker room in 2002. In that testimony, McQueary said he told his father of the incident and the next day followed his instructions to tell Paterno.

Last week Book as the debate raged as to whether McQueary, then a graduate assistant coach for the Nittany Lions, did enough to see that a pedophile was brought to justice, I consulted an authority on such matters for a verdict.

Lauren Book, author of “It’s OK to Tell: A Story of Hope and Recovery” and host of the website laurenskids.org, details in her book the particulars of her being the victim from the ages of 11 to 16 of sexual violence at the hands of her female nanny. Book, 27 and a graduate student at the University of Miami (Fla.), has made it her life’s mission to educate the public on prevention tactics that can stop pedophiles before they strike.

State plane maker says Rhodes Air Force bars it from bid

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3A

WICHITA (AP) — The Air Force has notified Hawker Beechcraft Corp. that its Beechcraft AT-6 has been excluded from competition to build a light attack aircraft, a contract worth nearly $1 billion, the company said.

The company had hoped its AT-6, an armed version of its T-6 trainer, would be chosen for the Light Air Support Counter Insurgency aircraft for the Afghanistan National Army Corps. The chosen aircraft also would be used as a light attack armed reconnaissance aircraft for the U.S. Air Force.

The piston planes are designed for counterinsurgency, close air support, armed overwatch and homeland security, The Wichita Eagle reported.

Hawker Beechcraft officials said in a news release they were “confounded and troubled” by the Air Force’s decision. The company said it is asking the Air Force for an explanation and will explore all options.

Hawker Beechcraft said it had been working with the Air Force for two years and had invested more than $100 million to meet the Air Force’s requirements for the plane.

It noted that the Beechcraft

AT-6 had been found capable of meeting the requirements in a demonstration program led by the Air National Guard.

“We have followed the Air Force’s guidance close, and based on what we have seen, we continue to believe that we submitted the most capable, affordable and sustainable light attack aircraft,” the company said.

The company has said winning the contract would have kept its T-6 production line running after 2015. About 1,400 employees in 20 states, including 800 in Wichita, work on the AT-6 and T-6 programs for Beechcraft and its U.S. suppliers and partners.

U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo, a Republican who represents Wichita, said in a news release that he was disappointed to learn Hawker-Beechcraft’s proposal was excluded from the competition.

“I have already demanded answers from the Pentagon on why they made this very unfortunate decision, and will continue to do so,” Pompeo said.

“This contract is critical both to our nation’s security and to jobs in Wichita, Kansas.”

Penn State

Sandusky’s face. It was classic. How he preyed, chose these children from his charity, how he was grooming them. He built trust with the family and gave each child presents and attention, things he might not have been getting at home.”

Eight victims told their stories in the grand jury report.

“All these kids were saying, ‘He put a hand on my thigh.’ If a child doesn’t report that, he’s ripe for abuse,” Book said. “Then it went to tickling on the stomach and then to the more advanced and grotesque sexual assault. I’m very confident that more survivors will be coming forward.”

The timing of Sandusky’s decision to retire at the age of 55 in the prime of his career certainly looks suspicious in that it came shortly after a 1998 police investigation sparked by a mother’s complaint about Sandusky showering with her son.

Penn State’s response to that equated to saying that as long as you don’t bring the children on campus anymore, we’re cool with you.

“These individuals who told him he couldn’t bring children there (to the football complex) anymore allowed this to go on,” Book said.

Of the Penn State students who protested on behalf of

Interviewed by telephone last week, Book offered an interesting take on McQueary.

“To be honest with you, I don’t know that anybody can truly judge how he reacted to the situation,” Book said.

“He did what he thought he was supposed to do. He went to the great Joe Pa to try to stop that. Some people say he should have physically gotten in the middle. A normal human is not accustomed to seeing a 10-yearold boy being sodomized.

That’s a subhuman act. I’m sure he was very traumatized to see something like that.”

So, Book said, stop judging the man. But so many did, and McQueary then said in an email that became public that he did talk to police, which police have denied.

If the allegations against Sandusky prove true, pretty much everybody whose mind isn’t held hostage 24/7 by the aura of Penn State football agrees that Paterno, McQueary’s boss, should have done more to get a child molester off the street.

The same goes for Paterno’s bosses.

Book said she has read the graphic 23-page grand jury report “several times.”

“If these allegations are true, and I believe they are, this was an active, complicit criminal conspiracy from respected individuals,” Book said. “I believe that they covered this up.”

Again prefacing it with the qualifier that if the allegations are true, Book added, “If you looked up pedophile in the dictionary, there would be a picture of Jerry

the Contemporary Student Alternative Theatre, which encourages budding playwrights on campus.

She is currently working on her honors thesis, which looks at refugee stories and the refugee experience.

Murrell graduated from KearKANSAS ney High School, in UNIVERSITY Kearney, Mo., a town of about 9,000 people. She said growing up in a small town has informed her plays, which are often set in small, rural communities.

Murrell is the 26th Rhodes scholar to come from KU. According to Jack Martin of KU’s office of public affairs, that’s more than all other universities in the state combined.

“I’m so thankful for all the people that have made this possible for me, especially the educators who have made a world of difference,” Murrell said.

— Reporter Aaron Couch can be reached at 832-7217. Follow him at Twitter.com/ aaroncouch.

Paterno, Book asked a very good question: “What are these people thinking? These people just don’t get it. They don’t get that this is about children whose innocence has been taken from them, children who have to walk through a broken life and work to be healed.”

Book has a lot of toughness, working to bring awareness to the once-taboo subject of sexual abuse of children and sharing in a book and in media interviews the horrific details of her lengthy stay in hell on earth. But her toughness too often has been tested in recent weeks when she has turned on the television.

“I’ll be honest, I have shed several tears for these faceless kids because I was one of them,” she said. “I know what it’s like. Look at these Penn State students; the way they’re reacting, it’s infuriating.”

Book said she believes 95 percent of sexual abuse of children is preventable, if they are properly educated.

“It’s about making sure every child has a trusted triangle of three more adults they can feel comfortable talking to about anything,” Book said. “We make sure to let them know if there is a touch that makes them feel icky or confused to make sure to tell someone.”

INJURY ACCIDENT • Douglas County Sheriff’s officers responded to a rollover accident on North 1250 Road, near U.S. Highway 59, about 11:45 p.m. Friday. Undersheriff Steve Hornberger said the driver, Madeline Beers, 16, and one of the six juvenile passengers in the vehicle were transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

A nursing supervisor at LMH said the driver was treated and released early Saturday.

Hornberger said he believed the other person taken to LMH had suffered only minor injuries. He said the driver failed to negotiate a curve in the road,

The DNA remnants have been sitting frozen in a cooler for the past 19 years, since authorities never requested it from his lab, Blake said.

Calls to the detective assigned to the case were not returned, and Volle said there wasn’t any other information to release on the investigation yet.

Pressure Why police had never followed up on the case until recently, or attempted to retest the DNA evidence, is unclear.

Janis McDonald, director of the Cold Case Initiative at Syracuse University, said police action in solving cold cases is often dependent on pressure from victims or their families.

But in Jones’ case, there wasn’t pressure from the victim, who told the JournalWorld that she still believes Jones attacked her.

“There’s nothing in the system that keeps reminding people” about cold cases, McDonald said. “The system has a flaw in it when there’s no one fighting for it.”

And Jones’ case is probably not unique, McDonald said.

“I’m fairly certain that there’s hundreds of other cases” like his, she said.

Jones, who struggled with drug addiction following his release from prison, said an arrest and conviction of the real perpetrator would help bring him some closure in the case.

“Definitely, it would for me,” said Jones, who’s spent the past decade in and out prison for a variety of nonviolent crimes. “I’m focusing on it.”

Sheriff Larry Townsend says someone caused extensive damage to the monument in early November, probably by using a flatbed truck.

The truck backed into and pulled apart a Mount Sunflower sign made of railroad spikes and broke a limestone sign in half, as well as damaging a fence and the visitor registration book.

The Hays Daily News reported that vandals did not damage a sign that recognizes Mount Sunflower as the highest point in Kansas, with an elevation of 4,039 feet. The rolling hill about a mile from the Colorado border draws between 700 and 1,200 visitors a year.

consuming process of foreclosure.

If you are unfamiliar with the term, a “short sale” can happen when your mortgage lender agrees to let you sell the home for less than you still owe on it, forgiving the difference. Why would a lender settle for a such a sale? Quite simply, the lender may determine that they will still receive a higher amount of the remaining balance through a short sale than they would through the very costly and time-

In the middle is the real estate agent, helping the sellers, the lenders, and the buyers navigate the complexities of the transaction to reach a satisfactory conclusion for all involved. Homeowners can trust their representative to be honest and to provide a fair assessment of value for all parties. You can trust your agent to be your advisor and champion during difficult times.

Why would a homeowner agree to sell the home for less than its value? As already mentioned, short sale keeps you out of foreclosure and reduces the damage to your credit (and subsequent ability to purchase another home).

Survivors of suicide discuss grief, healing process

By Alex Garrison acgarrison@ljworld.com

Every day, at least one Kansan dies by suicide.

It’s a staggering, tragic statistic, and behind it lies a community of parents, spouses, educators and friends — the survivors of suicide who are left to work through the grief of an often violent, shocking and mystifying loss.

About 20 such survivors gathered together at First United Methodist Church, 946 Vt., Saturday to discuss not just their trials in that process, but also their triumphs. It was National Survivors of Suicide Day, an event sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and hosted locally by Headquarters Counseling Center, a nonprofit charity that provides 24/7 access to emergency mental health counseling over the phone, as well as other services.

The event featured a national panel broadcast throughout the country to groups like the one here in Lawrence, followed by a discussion between Headquarters staff, survivors and members of the center’s biweekly support group.

Marcia Epstein, Headquarters director, talked about the importance of working through grief in helping to prevent further loss to suicide.

“We want people to know they don’t have to fall apart,” she said.

Survivors face unique challenges in processing their grief, including societal stigmas surrounding talking about suicide and a tendency to feel a great amount of responsibility for not being able to “save” the person.

But one resounding theme throughout Saturday’s event was healing through moving beyond feelings of guilt.

“It’s natural to wonder why and common to feel guilty,” she said. “But you have to allow yourself also to remem-

ber what you did right — to remember and honor the life of the person you lost.”

Rose Foster, who has been active in supporting Headquarters since her husband died in 2004, said events like Saturday’s gave the opportunity to build a community of people who understand those difficulties.

“Being able to speak freely and openly about your loss is a healing experience,” said.

Epstein also talked of finding the “gift” in the grief — whether it’s a greater appreciation for life or an opportunity to help others. Survivors all grieve in their own ways, of course, but many find comfort in activism and finding ways to “do something” to help mental health services.

Mary Moore of Baldwin City is one such survivor.

After she lost her son, Cassidy, to suicide in April, she and her niece, Emily Willis, began to sell feather hair extensions in their salons as a way to raise money for Headquarters. Moore said that the “community has been very loving” and that they’ve raised more than $1,600 since September. The pain is still raw as she talks about how supporting Headquarters’ service has helped her begin to work through what’s undoubtedly a lifelong process.

“I just don’t want anybody else to go through this,” she said.

But Willis chimes in with how the “Feathers for Cass” project has helped: “We wanted to do something that would be fun and spunky, like he was,” she said. “And I think it’s helped in the healing process for Mary. She’s had a lot of friends of his come in, and while they get the feather put in, they tell all these good stories about his life.”

GOP candidates share stories of personal hardships at forum

By Seema Mehta Los Angeles Times

DES MOINES, IOWA — A gathering of GOP presidential candidates on Saturday was unlike any other this year, when instead of fingerpointing and slashing at one another’s records, the rivals told deeply personal tales about faith, family and failures that left half of the six participants weeping.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum described how when his disabled daughter was born and expected to quickly die, he did not love her for her first five months to make her expected death less painful. Herman Cain choked up twice, talking about when he learned he had stage four cancer and the realization, looking back on his life, that he failed to spend enough time with his children.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich grew emotional when he described a close friend’s son who spent six years having a series of tumors removed from his brain, and also obliquely touched upon his history of infidelity when he described how he is happier now than before because of his faith.

“All of that has required a great deal of pain, some of which I have caused others, which I regret deeply,” he said. “All of that has required going to God to seek reconciliation, also to seek God’s acceptance that I had to recognize how limited I was and how much I had to depend on him.”

The emotional responses prompted moderator Frank Luntz to say, “I feel like Dr. Phil.”

The two-hour event at First Federated Church was put on by the Family Leader, an umbrella group of abortion and gay marriage opponents that have united to in-

crease their clout in the 2012 Iowa caucuses. Nearly 3,000 religious leaders and conservative activists attended. Socially conservative and evangelical voters are a key voting bloc, and helped propel Mike Huckabee to a surprise caucus win in 2008, but have yet to coalesce around a candidate this year.

Outside the church, Occupy Des Moines protesters chanted. Inside, the event was Thanksgiving-themed, with the six candidates and a moderator seated around a dining room table festooned with pumpkins.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who is not popular among some evangelical voters, did not participate, nor did Jon Huntsman, the former Utah governor who is not competing in Iowa.

Those who did participate wove their speeches with biblical passages and told the audience how they accepted Christ as their savior.

Perry said when he joined the Air Force, “I was too busy for God,” but when he returned to Paint Creek, Texas, he was lost and unhappy.

“Something was missing out of my life. In every person’s heart, in every person’s soul, there is a hole that could be filled by the Lord Jesus Christ,” said the Texas governor, as a men in the crowd yelled “Amen!” ‘‘As a 27-year-old young man, that’s when I truly gave my life to Christ and it has made every day worth living.”

The candidates generally shared a world view that loosening morals and the ouster of religion from the public sphere has contributed to the nation’s decline.

Santorum said the sexual revolution and an anythinggoes attitude has consequences.

Israeli-Palestinian peace process is dead

EDITORIALS

Right track Turning the Amtrak depot into a city transportation hub may breathe new life into a significant local structure.

T

he best way to save a historic structure is to make sure it continues to serve an important purpose.

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Depot at Seventh and New Jersey streets once was a hub of activity for Lawrence. As train traffic and travelers declined, so did the depot building. A volunteer group has worked with city and railroad officials to make key improvements to the building, but the possibility of using the depot as a transfer station for the city’s T bus system could give the depot new life and new financial stability.

City commissioners have asked the city staff to look at the possibility of creating the transfer station for a number of reasons, but the most important may be that it might open up new funding sources to help cover the cost of improving and maintaining the structure.

Commissioners have been justifiably concerned about making a commitment to take over the ownership of the depot under the terms that have been put forward by BNSF. For instance, the railroad wants to be able to buy back the depot at any time for a price equal to the cost of any city improvements, minus depreciation. If the city is going to invest in improvements that would allow the depot to serve as a bus transfer hub, it needs to have some assurance that the building won’t be pulled out from under it by BNSF. City officials are looking at a transfer station that could serve up to seven T buses at a time.

Initial discussions have drawn comments from one nearby resident concerned about the traffic created by the buses, but several residents, including some who live near the depot, have expressed support. Even if the depot isn’t the perfect spot for a transfer station, it has advantages over the current transfer point at Ninth and New Hampshire streets, which sometimes clogs downtown traffic.

Moving the transfer point to the depot would allow passengers to wait inside the building and perhaps use the restroom or grab a snack from a vending machine. If the city’s transportation offices moved to the depot, passengers also could purchase a bus pass, check transit schedules or get other information. Perhaps the depot also could provide telephone access to local taxi services for those who need it. And, of course, the depot would continue to serve two Amtrak arrivals each day and perhaps more if another Amtrak connection is extended to the city.

If the city can reach an acceptable agreement with BNSF and then use the building for a transit hub and perhaps some office space, it becomes more feasible to make a long-term financial commitment to improving and maintaining the building.

Many questions remain about the idea of turning the historic depot into a local transportation hub, but city officials are on the right track by considering the possibility.

JERUSALEM — Traveling in Israel and the West Bank, and talking to leaders on both sides, one thing soon becomes apparent: The Israeli-Palestinian peace process of the last two decades is dead.

Israeli leaders don’t believe in it, Palestinian leaders have given up on it, and the White House has abandoned it.

An end to talks on a two-state solution means a slide toward a “one-state solution” in which Palestinians outnumber Jews inside Israel’s borders. This ensures perpetual violence.

There was a promising alternative to this grim prospect but Israeli, Palestinian and U.S. leaders all failed to seize it. And so the peace process died.

There have been no direct Israeli-Palestinian talks for many months. Instead, Palestinians are seeking recognition of their state at the United Nations. And Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas looks set to reconcile with Hamas, the radical Palestinian group that rules in Gaza and is anathema to the United States and Israel.

Meantime, the two top U.S. officials in the peace process — Dennis Ross and George Mitchell — have stepped down, and President Obama has turned his back on the issue he once championed.

Why did things develop this way?

In part, because the political scene in today’s Israel has moved further to the right than at any time in my 40 years of covering the region. During my stay, Israeli media were focused on bills by right-wing lawmak-

The Obama administration could have worked to channel the Palestinians’ U.N. request in a positive direction — back toward negotiations. Instead, the White House joined Israel in threatening to punish the Palestinian Authority.”

ers aimed at giving conservatives more control over Israel’s Supreme Court and restricting foreign funding for nongovernmental organizations that criticize government policies.

In this climate — and given 18 years of failed talks — Israelis have little faith in the peace process. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he would accept two states, but his concept of Palestinian statehood is too limited for any Palestinian leader to accept. Nor has he shown any willingness to challenge the powerful Jewish settler movement, whose numbers constantly increase on the West Bank.

And in part, the process ended because of public pressure on Abbas to produce some results, in the wake of the Arab Spring.

Confronted with expanding Israeli settlements and limited prospects for a state — the Palestinian opted to take his quest to the United Nations.

Abbas’ chief negotiator, Saeb Erekat, told me this tack was not meant to preclude negotiations but to save the dying two-state option by enshrining it at the United Nations.

The Obama administration could have worked to channel the Palestinians’ U.N. request in a positive direction — back toward negotiations. Instead, the White House joined Israel in threatening to punish the Palestinian Authority. We now have a situation with little prospects for a return to talks.

There was a promising alternative to this grim impasse: a set of creative peace proposals put forward in 2008 by former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, after two years of discussions with Abbas. Well-informed Israelis and Palestinians tell me these ideas could have propelled the process forward. But Israeli, Palestinian and U.S. leaders all dropped the ball.

The two men tentatively agreed on a demilitarized Palestinian state, with extensive security guarantees for Israel; they mapped out a formula for Jerusalem as the capital of two states, with a condominium of Israel, Palestine, along with Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United States, over the holy places.

On borders, they were still dickering, but they enshrined the principle of equal swaps of land for anything Israel retained. The issue of Palestinian refugees was not fully resolved.

And here is where the tragedy occurred. Abbas did not reject Olmert’s offer, but he didn’t accept it. Then came Israel’s Gaza invasion in December 2008, and Olmert’s decision to step down because of corruption charges.

Condoleezza Rice, as she relates in her memoir, “No Higher Honor,” turned over the negotiating file to the Obama team. Olmert advised Hillary Rodham Clinton not to waste time with new proposals but to put his peace framework on the table and encourage both sides to discuss it.

Instead, the Obama team demanded that Israel first stop all settlements yet failed to put this demand within a larger framework. Olmert warned U.S. officials that a freeze alone made no sense; even the Palestinians were not keen on it but could demand no less than the Americans did.

Netanyahu has shown no interest in the Olmert formula, which his team regards as a failure. Yet had the Obama team backed it, it might have provided a vitally needed strategic framework for talks.

Instead, Israel and the Palestinians have drifted away from negotiations, as Obama busies himself with elections. The peace process as we’ve known it is over, but the status quo can’t last.

Tax basics

Safe neighborhood is basic right This is not about your neighborhood.

Probably not, at least. The demographics of newspaper readership being what they are, you likely do not live in Liberty Square or anyplace like it.

Maria Williams does live in Liberty Square. She wishes she did not.

“I’m low income,” she recently told my colleague, Miami Herald reporter Frances Robles, “but I have a right to have a safe environment.” It was in its way a statement of basic human dignity. One is reminded of Franklin Roosevelt’s enumeration of the Four Freedoms. The fourth was freedom from fear.

But one is not free from fear in Liberty Square public housing, which has seen at least 11 shootings in the last two years. The Model City area of which it is a part accounts for nearly a third of all Miami murders. Residents showed Robles bullet holes in their walls.

They told how they teach their children to drop at the first sound of automatic weapons fire. One person doesn’t take the trash out without a police presence.

Robles went to Liberty Square to find out how the cameras were doing at combating that. She found they were not working. A $270,000 closed-circuit monitoring system installed several months back by the county housing authority as a crime fighting tool was plagued by malfunctions. One wonders what impact it would have made even if they were working properly. To presume cameras would deter gangsters from gangsterism requires a belief that gangsters are the types

to do a risk/benefit analysis before they act. They are not.

Not that cameras and other creative policing tools ought not be used to fight the lawlessness of this place. But you cannot put this right with a single dramatic gesture. It is a complex problem and will require a sustained and holistic solution.

You want to fix Liberty Square and places like it? Fine, improve the policing. But also fix the schools and give every child a quality education. Offer job training. Provide incentives that bring commerce and industry to the area. Encour-

age the restoration of nuclear families. End the drug war.

The model of holistic solutions already exists in pockets of hope around the country, including Purpose Built Communities in Atlanta and the Harlem Children’s Zone in New York. So there is no mystery here. We know how to fix these bad places. What we lack is the wit and the will.

Geoffrey Canada, founder of the Harlem Children’s Zone, once spoke of how people resist him investing, say, $3,500 a year to help some poor kid in some struggling uptown neighborhood. But when that kid turns 18, they think nothing of spending $60,000 a year to incarcerate him.

In other words, you can spend less and produce a citizen who pays taxes and otherwise contributes to the system — or you can spend more to feed and house someone who only takes from the system. That ought to be a no-brainer. It’s not liberal, it’s not conservative. It’s mathematical.

That something so obvious eludes us speaks to that lack of wit and will and to a tendency to regard violence and dysfunction as somehow inevitable, unremarkable, intractable, in neighborhoods where people are black, brown or poor.

We owe Maria Williams something better than that sort of moral flaccidity.

No, this is not your neighborhood. But what if it were?

— Leonard Pitts Jr. is a columnist for the Miami Herald. He chats with readers from noon to 1 p.m. CST each Wednesday on www.MiamiHerald.com.

To the editor: We hear a lot today about tax reform, but not much about tax basics. Taxes are classified as either being regressive or progressive. Regressive taxes are those that place a larger burden on the poor and middle class than on the wealthy.

The most common of these is the sales tax. To illustrate this, consider a gallon of milk, the tax on which is about 30 cents. This places a great burden on the homeless woman who works at minimum wage to feed herself and her family while it is a minute part of a corporate executives $10 million-a-year salary. How about a gallon of gas with a sales tax of about 30 cents? This places a great burden on the working man who has to commute, but is only a small part of the wealthy man’s expenses.

Almost every dime of the working poor is spent on food and other basics and is taxed at about 10 percent. The wealthy do pay sales taxes but not much. As incomes go up, the percentage of them subject to sales taxes goes down.

The most common progressive tax is the income tax. The principle behind this tax is that it is supposed to tax according to how one benefits from the economic system of the U.S. The fact is no one pays income tax on about the first $15,000$20,000 of their income due to exemptions and deductions.

Sadly, 51 percent of Americans now pay no income tax simply because they don’t make enough money.

The obscenity law in Lawrence was under review.

City commissionYEARS ers had decided AGO to overhaul the IN 1986 ordinance, written in 1979, mostly because it did not address the sale or rental of pornographic video cassettes to minors. Lawrence resident Jim Mullins had presented a petition signed by more than 400 people last month asking the city to clearly prohibit minors from buying or renting R- or X-rated videos.

KANSAS RUNNING BACK DARRIAN MILLER IS SANDWICHED by the A&M defense in the first half. KU suffered a 61-7 loss to the Aggies on Saturday in College Station, Texas.

Jayhawks suffer most lopsided loss

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — With four games to play, and the 2011 season all but lost, the Kansas University football team turned to the slogan “Remember November” in an attempt to find a way to fight through the final month.

After suffering a 61-7 beating Saturday in front of a crowd of 86,411 at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field, all anyone wants to do is forget.

“A slogan is a slogan,” senior linebacker Steven Johnson said.

“But at the end of the day, you still have to go out there and win games. And when you can’t execute and do things like that, then a slogan can’t back you up. You gotta go out there and work. You gotta have some substance about it.”

This latest loss — arguably

Kansas’ players deserve support

KU’s most embarrassing in a season full of colossal failures — dropped the Jayhawks to 2-9 overall, 0-8 in Big 12 play and 0-3 in the month that was supposed to be different. There was no substance, only a variety of did-that-really-just-happen moments that allowed the Aggies (6-5, 4-4) to race out to a 23-0 lead after one quarter and a 44-0 lead at the half.

“It was a tough ballgame,” KU coach Turner Gill said. “Guys just seemed like they didn’t have the energy early, and Texas A&M got after us pretty good. We got outcoached and outplayed.”

Asked specifically how the Jayhawks were outcoached, Gill pointed to the start.

“For me, it’s getting the guys ready to play,” he said. “You gotta get your guys ready to play, KANSAS COACH TURNER GILL WALKS OFF THE FIELD after the Jayhawks’ beatdown by the Please see KANSAS, page 4B Aggies

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — If Kansas University football coach Turner Gill could get his players to execute on the field the way he has them talking in the media room, he might be on to something.

Saturday, in front of more than 85,000 whoopin’ and hollerin’ Aggie fans at Kyle Field, the Jayhawks were pummeled from start to finish by a stronger, faster and more disciplined Texas A&M football team. The 61-7 loss marked the Jayhawks’ worst defeat of the season in terms of the final score, but you’d never know it from talking to the handful of Jayhawks made available to the media following the game.

Sure, the players were disappointed, frustrated and embarrassed. But each one continued to push Gill’s message of positivity. No one lashed out.

No one let the 54-point drub-

Seattle prep commits to KU basketball, but …

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

The way Seattle combo guard Anrio Adams sees it, he will be playing basketball at Kansas University next season.

“I made a verbal commitment to Kansas today,” Adams, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound senior out of Rainier Beach High, told the Journal-World on Saturday night. “I have to take my SAT first. If I pass the SAT and my classes, I should get in without a problem.”

KU coaches cannot comment on recruiting in accordance

with NCAA rules. It is believed the Jayhawk coaches will not accept any Adams commitment until he has qualified academically.

The unranked player, whose godfather is Bull Stewart, dad of former KU guard Rodrick Stewart, said Saturday he chose KU over finalists Washington, Baylor, UCLA and Louisville. He also heard from Arizona, LSU and Georgetown.

“KU is a wonderful program that gets players to the next level. It’s a great program that fits my game,” Adams told the J-W. He also spoke to various other

websites Saturday, reiterating that he plans to play at KU. Adams, who has attended three high schools, went to Seattle’s Garfield High a year ago.

He planned to transfer to St. Patrick High in New Jersey for his senior year, but changed his mind and now is at Rainier, the alma mater of former KU guard Stewart.

“I watched him play in the pro league last summer with guys like Nate Robinson. He averaged 17 a game. He did great,” said Rainier coach Mike Bethea, who confirmed that Adams committed to KU Saturday.

“He is almost a carbon copy of Dwyane Wade. Last year in high school, in one game he sat out a quarter and still got 45 (points).

He can play either guard position,” Bethea added.

Many recruiting analysts believed Adams had reclassified into the recruiting Class of 2013, thus his status as an unranked player. It’s believed he will wind up in the top 100 in the Class of 2012. Leftcoastrecruiting.com reports he’ll take the SAT on Dec. 3.

“I picked Kansas because I felt they fit my style of play and they love to play defense,” Adams told leftcoastrecruiting.com.

“The school is great and it’s a basketball state. I wanted the best situation to give me the opportunity to compete equally for a starting position. The coaches are great. The fan base is heavy and I am ready for next year.

“Although I didn’t play in the camps this summer, I was home studying the game. I trained and watched game footage of Michael Jordan all summer. This is my life! This is what I want to do!” he added to the website.

KU’s Class of 2012 consists of forward Perry Ellis (Wichita), Landen Lucas (Portland) and Zach Peters (Plano, Texas).

INSIDE: Kansas sophomore Justin Wesley is becoming known as a defensive stopper, and that’s just fine with him.

KANSAS UNIVERSITY

Colleges take note of PSU failings

By Eddie Pells Associated Press National Writer

First Penn State. Now Syracuse.

Concerned that allegations of child sex abuse in two big college sports programs could trigger more cases around the country, universities are urging employees to reread their schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reporting policies, while more closely scrutinizing the people who work in their athletic departments.

Those reminders were circulating even as news kept unfolding.

On Friday, the NCAA notified Penn State it would investigate the school for lack of institutional control resulting from the child sex abuse allegations against Joe

Paternoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. The evening before, Syracuse placed basketball coach Jim Boeheimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top assistant, Bernie Fine, on leave after old allegations resurfaced that he molested two former ballboys.

Sandusky and Fine each have denied the accusations against them.

In his letter to Penn State, NCAA president Mark Emmert restated a message that schools have been receiving simply by watching the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is critical that each campus and the NCAA as an Association re-examine how we constrain or encourage behaviors that lift up young people rather than making them victims,â&#x20AC;? Emmert wrote.

Earlier this week at Michigan, president Mary Sue Coleman wrote an open letter to the university community reminding people to call 911 or the police department if they see a crime in progress. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a chance to remind one another that a communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s values are lived out in the actions of each of us as individuals,â&#x20AC;? she wrote.

At St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, athletic director Chris Monasch said the incidents offered a good opportunity to emphasize to staffers â&#x20AC;&#x153;that if there is an issue thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inappropriate you have to deal with it immediately.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A cover-up only makes it more severe,â&#x20AC;? Monasch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly, we do background checks on

the people we hire for summer camps and those types of things.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to take precautions, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how you can prepare for some of those things.â&#x20AC;?

Terry Hartle, senior vice-president at the American Council on Education, compared reaction to these scandals to what happened after the massacre at Virginia Tech, when schools went back and analyzed their preparedness for a major emergency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not see a crisis coming up,â&#x20AC;? Hartle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do think this will be an experience that will force all colleges and universities to reevaluate their policies and procedures with reporting and dealing with sexual misconduct.â&#x20AC;?

COMMENTARY

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Eliteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; QBs are rarely a sure thing

AND AT QUARTERBACK ...

By Danny Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil The Seattle Times

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get a franchise quarterback.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an observation so much as an imperative among Seahawks fans, a preoccupation that has its own acronym: QBOTF. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twitter shorthand for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quarterback of the Future,â&#x20AC;? and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a topic that eventually intrudes upon any discussion of the Seahawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trajectory under coach Pete Carroll. If Tarvaris Jackson isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the QBOTF then who? If not this year, then when?

The obsession with that specific position is the reason a significant chunk of Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fan base would prefer to see the Seahawks lose a game like they won last Sunday against Baltimore. After all, a loss would improve Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft position, theoretically increasing the likelihood of getting a better quarterback in the draft.

Well, all those who believe that nothing matters until this team lands that quarterback it can hitch its wagon to are advised to look at Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponent Sunday: Sam Bradford. He is St. Louisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quarterback of the future. The No. 1 overall pick in 2010 who, as a rookie last season, led the Rams to more wins (seven) than they had in the previous three seasons combined (six).

Now the Rams are 2-7, have given up more sacks than any other team in the league and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be missing both starting offensive tackles today against Seattle.

This is where the QB diatribe usually veers off into a lecture about how nothing in life is guaranteed, not even a highly drafted quarterback. Start with David Carr, mention Tim Couch and top it all off with JaMarcus Russell to form one big Purple Drank concoction of unfulfilled expectations.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. There are no guarantees.

Not even when you draft a good quarterback like Bradford. And yes, he is very good, the kind of guy you can build a team around. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing in a new offense under coordinator Josh McDaniels with a struggling line, and this season is proof that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to building a contender than just finding the right quarterback.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the defensive line and the safeties, the offensive line and the receiver, yet the preoccupation with quarterbacks can delude fans into thinking itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only spot that really matters. But the quarterback is not the ultimate solution. He is not the magic bullet. He does not leap tall buildings in a single bound.

Anyone who tells you different is probably selling something, most likely the belief that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win in this league without an elite quarterback. That assertion is inevitably followed by a list of recent Super Bowl winners like first-round picks such Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning and then Tom Brady as the exception that proves the rule. Yes, Brady was drafted in the sixth round, but you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count on getting that caliber of talent in the latter rounds.

This whole idea of an elite quarterback is about as scientific as witchcraft. Teams donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win because their quarterbacks are elite nearly so much as quarterbacks are considered elite because their teams win.

Labor deal includes HGH tests

HOMESTEAD, FLA. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won the Nationwide Series championship long before the checkered flag dropped Saturday at the season finale.

Stenhouse clinched the title 30 laps into the 300-mile race when six cars officially dropped out at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A person familiar with the deal tells the Associated Press that baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new labor contract will include blood testing for human growth hormone, a rise in the minimum salary to $480,000 and luxury taxes on both amateur draft signings and international free agents coming to the major leagues.

Kansas women Wesley relishes defensive role hit (tobacco) road KU sophomore solid on UK standout Jones ————

J-W Staff Reports

Off to a 2-0 start at Allen Fieldhouse, the Kansas University women’s basketball team faces its first road challenge of the season at 1 this afternoon, when the Jayhawks face Wake Forest at Lawrence Joel Memorial Coliseum, in Winston-Salem, N.C. Though junior KU forward Carolyn Davis made her season debut and scored 14 points in the Jayhawks’ Wednesday victory over Creighton at Allen, Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson said Davis, a preseason All-Big 12 forward, would be evaluated daily to check out the status of a stillhealing stress fracture in her right foot. Davis might very well play (and even start) against the Demon Deacons (2-0), but is not listed as a probable starter. As was the case entering the Creighton game, sophomore forward Tania Jackson is listed in place of Davis (who started in KU’s 73-59 victory against the Bluejays).

With Davis not yet back to full strength, senior forward Aishah Sutherland has led Kansas through two games, averaging 15 points and 11 rebounds. Junior shooting guard Monica Engelman (14.5

KU swimmers, divers win big J-W Staff Reports

Kansas University won all individual swimming events in a 150-78 victory over Nebraska-Omaha in a swimming-and-diving dual Saturday at Robinson Natatorium.

Morgan Sharp led KU with two victories, and both KU divers qualified for the NCAA Zone ‘D’ Championships in March.

“It was a good win,” Kansas assistant coach Jen Fox said after KU improved to 4-3.

“We swam some off events today, which gave some of the girls a chance to compete in different events and they did a great job.”

“It is really nice to get that qualifying score done this early, going into the Mizzou

Invitational,” added diving coach Eric Elliott. “Now we can work on some dives that we are really going to need once we get to the Championships.”

Christy Cash will make her second straight appearance at zones and will be joined by Alyssa Golden.

Cash won both diving events. Golden was second in the three-meter.

Sharp won the 1,000-yard freestyle and the 100 free.

Other KU event winners: seniors Kath Liggett and Abigail Anderson, juniors Brooke Brull, Svetlana Golovchun, Rebecca Swank and Brittany Rospierski, and freshman Deanna Marks.

Kansas will travel to the Mizzou Invite on Dec. 1-4.

Still a bit raw offensively, Justin Wesley has emerged as a solid defensive player early in his sophomore basketball season at Kansas University.

“I will say this about Justin ... could a guy have guarded any better than he did the other night?” KU coach Bill Self said of the 6-foot-9, 220-pound transfer from Lamar. Wesley spent most of his allotted 21 minutes shadowing All-America candidate Terrence Jones during KU’s 75-65 loss to Kentucky on Tuesday in New York.

Jones, a 6-9, 252-pound sophomore, finished with 15 points off 6-of-11 shooting in 35 minutes. Wesley chipped in five points with five rebounds.

“Justin was locked in, stayed down, didn’t go for fakes,” Self said. “When you are guarding a guy as talented as he is, it’s when you don’t gamble and miss. He was terrific defending.”

Wesley — he won’t be asked to guard many, if any, better than future NBA lottery pick Jones — hopes to earn a regular spot in the rotation by playing rugged defense.

“Early in the season, I remember you guys (media) a s k i n g me what I thought my role was going to be. As the preseason went on, I realized I wanted to focus on be- Wesley ing the defensive stopper,” Wesley said.

“It’s what I want to continue to focus on. I knew I had a job to do (against Kentucky) and wanted to focus on doing it to the best of my ability.”

Against Jones, that entailed “basically keeping my eyes on his legs. That’s what they said in practice,” Wesley said. “Stay low and keep moving my feet.”

Wesley averaged 9.0

points a game his senior year at North Crowley (Texas) High School in Fort Worth, Texas, and followed that with 1.2 ppg in 23 games at Lamar in 2009-10. He isn’t about to force the issue offensively.

“My understanding is Tyshawn (Taylor), Thomas (Robinson) and Elijah (Johnson) are our three best offensive threats,” Wesley said.

“The role I’ve taken is playing good defense and getting them the ball as much as possible, being a ball-mover, setting good screens, getting to the basket and rebound, getting those trash buckets.

“As far as stepping into the role of being a major contributor, it’s not my main focus now. If that comes when the season progresses, I’ll take on that role. Right now I’m just focusing on the defensive aspect.”

He’ll be one of the first players to come off the bench during Monday’s 11 p.m. clash against Georgetown (2-0) in the first round of the Maui Invitational.

“Georgetown is an athletic team,” Wesley said. “The key for us is to execute our offense, which we didn’t do a great job of against Kentucky. We know what we have to do: execute our offense, be focused and sound.”

Self likes the sound of that.

“To me, the most pleasant surprise ... he will not be a numbers guy for us, but based on what he can give, Justin Wesley has been our most solid performer off the bench,” Self said. !

About Georgetown: Big East Conference member Georgetown has victories over Savannah State (83-54) and UNC-Greensboro (8645). Coach John Thompson III’s Hoyas are led by junior forward Hollis Thompson (16.0 ppg, 66.7 percent shooting), senior center Henry Sims (6.5 rpg, 4.0 apg) and senior guard Jason Clark (13.0 ppg). . ... Georgetown is located in Washington, D.C., and has an enrollment of 15,318.

COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman was especially proud of his team’s nearshutout following the Aggies’ 61-7 triumph over Kansas on Saturday.

“I thought other than a few things,” Sherman said, “we played pretty flawless defense.”

The Aggies held the Jayhawks to 197 yards of total offense and only 108 yards of offense in the first half.

A&M also shut down KU’s running game, limiting the Jayhawks to 64 yards on 55 carries (1.2 yards per rush).

“It was big for our team,” A&M

&

what you’re made of,’” Sherman said. “And we played at a high level for most of the game.”

A&M’s 23 first-quarter points and 44 halftime points also were the most for the team since a 1997 game against Louisiana-Lafayette.

The Aggies led 61-0 after three quarters despite only possessing the ball for 14 minutes, 18 seconds (compared to KU’s 30:42).

“I’ve never had that little time of possession with that many points,” Sherman said.

A&M’s special teams thrived as well, with Dustin Harris returning a punt 72 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter.

“We talked about it before the

game, and I got with the group and said, ‘If we can get some blocks in, we’ll take one to the house,’” Harris said. “They worked with me, and we got the touchdown.”

Harris finished with three punt returns for 162 yards — breaking the previous school record of 131 punt return yards (on three returns) set by Aaron Glenn against Missouri in 1993.

“I thought we blocked pretty well for him, and there was a lot of separation between him and the coverage units,” Sherman said. “But he made some great moves. He’s a heck of an athlete.”

The victory snapped a threegame losing streak while also making the Aggies bowl-eligible.

senior defensive lineman Tony Jerod-Eddie said of the victory. “I don’t think we were lacking any confidence — we knew we were good going into this season — but it felt good to go out and dominate for a full four quarters.”

A&M’s offense also was impressive.

The 61 points scored was the third-most for the Aggies in a Big 12 game, while the 54-point margin of victory was the second-most in a Big 12 game, trailing only a 73-10 victory over Baylor in 2003.

KANSAS’ CHRIS OMIGIE (83) GOES UP for a completion. Though Omigie made the catch, the play was called back on a penalty. ations. We have to learn to overcome those issues, and I’m sure we’ll come out with a better outcome.”

During a first half in which it scored on six of its seven possessions, the Texas A&M offense enjoyed an average starting field position of its own 48-yard line.

Three of those drives started in KU territory.

As if that wasn’t enough, Webb also threw an interception and lost a fumble in the dreadful first half, and the Aggies called timeout with 2:10 to play in order to save time to mount one more scoring drive.

“We were a little flat,” Johnson said. “And I couldn’t tell you why we were flat. Everything that could’ve went wrong just went wrong.”

Not only was A&M’s first-half onslaught efficient, it also happened quickly. The Aggies had the ball for just 8:24 in the first half — compared with 21:36 for KU — yet ran 33 plays and racked up 321 yards of offense. A&M’s longest scoring drive in the first half took 2:03. Its shortest, 22 seconds.

The Aggies also never punted all day.

On a day with few bright spots, the Jayhawks found one on their

final drive, when sophomore running back James Sims scored his ninth touchdown of the season from 15 yards out to prevent a shutout with 46 seconds to play.

“It meant a lot,” said Sims, who finished with 88 yards on 19 carries. “It just meant that we didn’t give up. The outcome was pretty bad, but we still stuck together and finished. That’s what the coaching staff wanted us to do.

They just wanted us to push forward and score before the end of the game.”

Although lopsided scores are starting to become routine for the Kansas football program — the loss was KU’s sixth by 30 or more points this season — most Jayhawks have not moved past the point of embarrassment. With 38 Texans on the KU roster, nowhere are the poor performances more painful than in Texas, where Gill’s KU teams have been outscored 159-14 in three trips to the Lone Star State.

“It’s frustrating coming back home and going out there competing, but it’s not even looking like you’re competing,” said Brown, a native of Cedar Hill, Texas.

Added Johnson, asked if Saturday’s setback was a new low: “Yep.”

First Quarter 11:21 — Cyrus Gray 30 run. Randy Bullock kick. The Aggies started their first drive of the day in Kansas territory and drove 42 yards in three plays and 56 seconds to score. Gray ran twice for 35 yards, and QB Ryan Tannehill completed his only pass to Ryan Swope for a nine-yard gain. (A&M 7, KU 0).

6:01 — Safety. After the Aggies defense ended a promising Kansas drive near midfield, the Jayhawks lined up to punt and saw the snap from Tanner Gibas sail over the head of punter Ron Doherty. The ball rolled all the way to the end zone, and Doherty chased it down and kicked it out of the back of the end zone.

(A&M 9, KU 0).

3:58 — Ryan Swope 27 pass from Ryan Tannehill. Bullock kick. A&M started its second offensive drive at midfield after KU’s free kick that followed the safety went out of bounds. Six plays and 2:03 later, Swope got behind the KU defense by 10 yards and waltzed into the end zone. Tannehill was 4-for-4 passing. (A&M 16, KU 0).

2:08 — Gray 36 run. Bullock kick. A&M’s worst field position of the quarter — its own 46 — did nothing to slow down the Aggies’ offense. After Tannehill hit Brandal Jackson for 18 yards on first down, Gray did the rest, finishing off A&M’s drive in two plays and 22 seconds. (A&M 23, KU 0).

Second Quarter 13:09 — Swope 52 pass from Tannehill.

Bullock kick. The comedy of errors continued for the KU defense as Tannehill’s completion to Swope landed him between KU defenders Keeston Terry and Greg Brown, who sandwiched Swope and bounced off allowing him to race into the end zone. (A&M 30, KU 0).

2:08 — Gray 1 run. Bullock kick. A&M’s longest drive of the first half in terms of plays covered six plays, 32 yards and 1:57. It was set up by a 42-yard interception return by A&M safety Steven Terrell. (A&M 37, KU 0).

0:50 — Nate Askew 27 pass from Tannehill.

Bullock kick. After A&M called timeout with 2:04 to play in the half, the Aggies marched 80 yards in nine plays and 1:11. Askew somehow found himself wide open at the KU 4-yard line and Tannehill found him for his third TD of the first half. (A&M 44, KU 0).

Third Quarter 11:52 — Ben Malena 1 run. Bullock kick. The Aggies took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 80 yards into the win to add to the lead. The drive covered 3:08 and took nine plays and was sparked by a 10-yard pass from Tannehill to Jeff Fuller, who shook Greg Brown at the 10-yard line and dove to the 1 before being tackled. (A&M 51, KU 0).

5:45 — Randy Bullock 28 field goal. A big punt return by Dustin Harris set the Aggies up in KU territory yet again. Six plays and 16 yards later, the Aggies settled for three instead of adding seven. (A&M 54, KU 0).

4:13 — Dustin Harris 72 punt return. Bullock kick. Harris continued his spectacular day in the kick-return department, taking this one at the A&M 38-yard line, darting up the middle and breaking free around midfield. (A&M 61, KU 0).

Fourth Quarter 0:46 — James Sims 15 run. Alex Mueller kick. Despite the game being well out of hand, the Jayhawks found a way to crack the scoreboard with a 13-play, 64-yard drive that spanned 6:06. Sims ran for 39 of his teamhigh 88 yards on KU’s final possession. (A&M 61, KU 7).

NOTEBOOK

To Webb, sacks add up ————

Kansas QB replaced for one play

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS — Kansas University quarterback Jordan Webb was briefly removed from the game late in the first quarter of Saturday’s 61-7 loss to Texas A&M after taking a hit in the back from Texas A&M cornerback Lionel Smith.

“Knocked the wind out of me a little bit,” Webb said, “but nothing major.”

Webb was helped off the field by trainers, and Quinn Mecham replaced him for one play — an incomplete pass.

Webb returned as KU’s quarterback on the Jayhawks’ next drive in the second quarter.

“I was hurting a little bit, but I definitely wasn’t going to take myself out of the game,” Webb said. “I came back and tried to fight.”

The sophomore QB took plenty of hits Saturday. Webb was sacked six times — the most surrendered by KU’s offensive line all season.

“A lot of it was just those blitzes they bring,” Webb said. “They brought a lot of confusing stuff, and they just had us outmanned on some of the stuff. We kept playing, though, and that’s all you can ask for.”

Jeremiah Hatch leaves game Kansas center Jeremiah Hatch left the game in the second quarter and did not return. He was questionable coming into the game due to a leg injury.

“He’s a tough guy, and when we were down like that, it wasn’t worth him getting any more injured,” Webb said. “He was trying his hardest to stay in, but they (coaches) didn’t want anything bad to happen to him.”

With Hatch out, sophomore Gavin Howard entered the lineup at left tackle, while

KANSAS’ GREG BROWN (5) TRIES TO BRING DOWN BRANDAL JACKSON in the first half. Texas A&M beat KU, 61-7, Saturday in College Station, Texas.

my head up and keep fighting. I’m not gonna quit. This whole game is about life.

When you get knocked down and things look terrible, you gotta keep fighting.”

Added sophomore running back James Sims: “It’s tough. But we just gotta push through it. It happens to everyone. We just gotta continue to push each other and get better in practice week by week, and the outcome will be different.”

So far, in 23 weeks of football and two offseasons, improvement has been tough to come by for Gill and company. There have been peaks.

But the valleys have seemingly outnumbered them five to one. Because of that, Gill enters the final game of his second season as KU’s coach with an uncertain future.

And that’s putting it mildly.

Many think Gill’s time at KU is nearing its end and that

the program should move forward with a new head coach next season. Several of Gill’s players, and even a few KU fans, continue to support their head coach.

“Just keep fighting. Don’t give up. No matter what the score was, he just wanted us to keep fighting,” said running back James Sims, sharing Gill’s halftime thoughts from Saturday’s game. “And that’s what we did. We all respect coach Gill. We love him. He’s just a great guy to be around. And we left it out on the field for him.”

With next week’s season finale against Missouri already big enough, Gill brushed off inquiries about his future and said he was not yet concerned about what might or might not happen after the Missouri game.

“No. No. I’m here to coach,” he said. “I’m here to coach and teach and develop our players and get ’em ready for Missouri. I’m not concerned about all those (other) things.”

When the season began

and KU fans looked over the Jayhawks’ football schedule, the Nov. 26 meeting with Mizzou no doubt jumped out as one of those games that would be worth attending.

Now, with the Jayhawks having lost their ninth straight and 18th game in 23 tries under Gill, it’s hard not to wonder if any crimsonand-blue-clad fans will be there.

Here’s hoping they are.

Bad season or not, lameduck coach or otherwise, the KU players deserve that much. And with the game possibly being the last ever in the tradition-rich Border War series, it will be a shame if Arrowhead isn’t packed.

“I know that our fans are just probably devastated right now and hurt and don’t even want to back us up,” Johnson said. “But I hope we get a good crowd to come out and support us because we’re gonna do our best to leave it out there on the field and try to get a win for this university.”

Your move, Jayhawk Nation.

TOP 25 ROUNDUP

No. 3 Bama ready to reap rewards of upsets The Associated Press

No. 5 Oklahoma and No. 4 Oregon were upset, and the likelihood off an all-SEC BCS championship game went from possible to probable Saturday.

Oregon put together a huge fourth-quarter rally, but it wasn’t enough to beat No. 18 Southern California and Matt Barkley.

The Ducks also took their second loss of the season.

A day after No. 2 Oklahoma State lost at Iowa State, the big winner appeared to be No. 3 Alabama.

The Tide had an easy win against Georgia Southern, but with so many contenders losing, there’s little doubt Alabama will be in second place behind LSU when the latest BCS standings come out today.

If the Tide and Tigers win out, the SEC West rivals will likely play for the second time this season, but this time for the BCS championship.

Meanwhile, the upsets also helped out Arkansas. The Razorbacks, who routed Mississippi State, could move into third place in the BCS standings, and still have to play No. 1 LSU on Friday.

No. 1 LSU 52, Mississippi 3 OXFORD, MISS. — Ron Brooks returned an interception for a touchdown 28 seconds into the game, and LSU piled up 353 yards rushing.

The Tigers (11-0, 7-0 Southeastern Conference), who matched their best start since 1958, built a 35-3 halftime lead.

rowed it to 38-35 with 7:05 left in the fourth quarter. Barkley led his team to the Oregon 15, but Marc Tyler fumbled and the ball was recovered by the Ducks with 2:54 to go.

Oregon marched down the field but Maldondado’s kick, which was brought five yards closer because of a USC penalty, went wide left.

No. 6 Arkansas 44, Mississippi State 17 LITTLE ROCK, ARK. — Tyler Wilson had a school-record 32 completions for Arkansas and threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns.

It was the seventh straight victory for the Razorbacks (10-1, 6-1 Southeastern Conference), who travel to No. 1 LSU next week for a game with conference and national title implications.

It also clinched the first back-to-back 10-win seasons No. 18 USC 38, since 1988-89 for Arkansas, No. 4 Oregon 35 which completed its first EUGENE, ORE. — Matt Bar- undefeated season at home kley threw for 323 yards and since 1999. four touchdowns, and USC held off Oregon when Ale- North Carolina State 37, jandro Maldonado missed a No. 7 Clemson 13 RALEIGH, N.C. — Mike 37-yard field goal to tie the Glennon threw three touchgame with five seconds left.

No. 3 Alabama 45, Georgia Southern 21 TUSCALOOSA, ALA. — Trent Richardson rushed for 175 yards and scored three touchdowns to power Alabama.

The Crimson Tide (10-1) didn’t win many style points in giving up a season-high 21 points, but the team’s biggest national title boost came the previous night when No. 2 Oklahoma State fell 37-31 at Iowa State in two overtimes.

No. 10 Boise State 52, San Diego State 35 SAN DIEGO — Kellen Moore completed 28 of 40 passes for 366 yards and four touchdowns, three to Tyler Shoemaker, and Boise State benefited from three San Diego State turnovers.

The Broncos (9-1, 4-1 Mountain West) bounced back from a 36-35 loss to TCU a week earlier in Boise.

No. 11 Houston 37, SMU 7 HOUSTON — Case Keenum set the Football Bowl Subdivision career record for completions, threw a touchdown pass and ran for another score as Houston stayed unbeaten.

No. 12 Michigan State 55, Indiana 3 EAST LANSING, MICH. — Kirk Cousins threw for 273 yards and three touchdowns in just over a half, and Michigan State clinched a spot in the Big Ten championship game.

No. 14 South Carolina 34, The Citadel 20 COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina’s Connor Shaw threw for 217 yards and three touchdowns, including Alshon Jeffery’s first scoring catch in more than a month.

No. 15 Wisconsin 28, Illinois 17 CHAMPAIGN, ILL. — Montee Ball rushed for 224 yards and scored three times, and Wisconsin forced four turnovers in a comeback victory.

On a day when stiff winds limited Wisconsin’s passing attack, Ball was dominant.

He had 164 yards on the ground as Wisconsin scored 21 unanswered points in the second half.

for two scores to help Michigan keep alive hopes for earning a BCS at-large bid.

The Cornhuskers (8-3, 4-3) lost any hope of playing in the Big Ten’s first title game.

No. 21 Penn State 20, Ohio State14 COLUMBUS, OHIO — Penn State won for the first time since coach Joe Paterno was fired, with Stephfon Green running for two touchdowns and the Nittany Lions’ solid defense holding Ohio State scoreless in the second half Virginia 14, No. 23 Florida State 13 TALLAHASSEE, FLA. — Kevin Parks ran 10 yards for a touchdown with 1:16 left to give Virginia the lead, and Florida State’s Dustin Hopkins missed a 42-yard fieldgoal attempt in the closing seconds.

BAYLOR QUARTERBACK ROBERT GRIFFIN III (10) CELEBRATES A TOUCHDOWN on a ball that bounced off one receiver and landed in the hands of wide receiver Kendall Wright, who scored in the second half. Baylor won, 45-38, Saturday in Waco, Texas.

Last-seconds TD sinks Sooners, 45-38 WACO, TEXAS (AP) — Robert Griffin and Baylor created even more chaos in the national championship race with a stunning blow against fifth-ranked Oklahoma.

Griffin threw for 479 yards and four touchdowns, including a 34-yarder to Terrance Williams with eight seconds left and 25th-ranked Baylor beat the Sooners for the first time, 45-38 on Saturday night.

The Sooners (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) had overcome a twotouchdown deficit to tie the game on Blake Bell’s fourth touchdown run, a six-yarder with 51 seconds left.

The Bears then went 80 yards in five plays, with Griffin scrambling for runs of 22 and eight yards before then finding Williams in the back corner of the end zone and throwing before he got knocked down.

“One of the offensive linemen came and told me we just won the game. It was a pretty exciting moment,” Griffin said. “We don’t consider it an upset. It was good for our team to come out and show the resiliency we have and keep pushing forward.”

The Sooners’ loss came a night after Big 12 rival and No. 2 Oklahoma State suffered its first loss, and right after No. 4 Oregon became a two-loss team.

Baylor (7-3, 4-3) had been 0-20 against the Sooners, and most of those games weren’t even close.

“At the end of the day, they coached better than we did, and they played better than we did,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.

When the game ended, students and fans — most in gold T-shirts — stormed the field to surround Griffin and the Bears after arguably the biggest win in school history.

It was the highest-ranked team Baylor defeated since

winning 20-13 at third-ranked Southern California in 1985.

“They said we needed that signature win,” Griffin said.

“We got it.”

Oklahoma had scored two quick touchdowns after halftime to take a 24-17 lead, then Baylor got a fortunate bounce to get even again Griffin’s pass over the middle deflected off the hands, then the helmet of intended receiver Tevin Reese. The ball went about 20 yards farther down field, and was grabbed out of the air near midfield by Kendall Wright, who sprinted to an 87-yard touchdown.

Griffin dropped to a knee, then looked down before

thrusting his arms into the air. The quarterback was shaking his head seemingly in disbelief at what had just happened.

That is how Stoops and the Sooners felt after the game.

Griffin completed 21 of 34 passes while setting singlegame school records for passing yards and his 551 total yards. Wright’s 208 yards receiving was also a school record, on eight catches.

“Another day at the office for Robert,” Baylor coach Art Briles said. “Very talented, very gifted.”

Williams, who had earlier dropped what would have been a touchdown, had five catches for 99 yards. Terrance Ganaway ran for two scores.

Landry Jones completed 36 of 51 passes for 447 yards with an interception. He gave way close to Bell, the freshman short-yardage specialist who had TD runs of 3, 1, 4 and 6 yards.

Even in their first game without injured record-setting receiver Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma finished with 605 total yards. That was 15 fewer than Baylor.

After Trey Millard’s fiveyard TD run on Oklahoma’s first possession of the second half, Baylor faced fourthand-1 at its own 33. Griffin took the snap and was stood up in the backfield by David King.

Jones then threw a 31-yard pass to set up Bell’s 1-yard keeper that put the Sooners up 24-17 less than 4 minutes into the second half.

Baylor led 17-10 at halftime after a 69-yard TD catch-andrun by Reese, who got wide open several yards behind the Oklahoma secondary. He caught Griffin’s pass in stride near the 30 and sprinted to the end zone on the first play after the Sooners had tied the game.

Missouri downs Texas Tech, 31-27 COLUMBIA, MO. (AP) — Missouri pulled one out for the seniors. For coach Gary Pinkel, too.

James Franklin accounted for four touchdowns and got the go-ahead score on a 9-yard run with 2:22 remaining as Missouri, minus their suspended coach, rallied past Texas Tech, 31-27, on Saturday night.

“I think we came together because of the foundation that Gary Pinkel has built,” said defensive coordinator Dave Steckel, who filled in as head coach. “He has built it on a rock.

“If you build your foundation on a rock and the storms come, it will survive.”

Franklin rushed for a career-best 152 yards with two touchdowns to help the Tigers (6-5, 4-4 Big 12) overcome Henry Josey’s season-ending knee injury last week. He was 13 for 20 for 172 yards and two more touchdowns, including a 7-yarder to Marcus Lucas earlier in the fourth that cut Texas Tech’s lead to three.

Texas Tech threatened

late, driving to the Missouri 6, before Dominique Hamilton tipped a pass from Seth Doege and Michael Sam intercepted at the 4.

“We knew it was going to come down to us,” Sam said.

“It just fell in my hands, and my first thought was to go down.”

Doege threw for one touchdown and ran for another for Texas Tech (5-6, 2-6), which has lost four in a row and must beat Baylor next week to become bowl-eligible for the 12th straight season. Doege was 37 of 53 for 315 yards, one week after being held to a season-low 169 yards.

Aaron Crawford had 70 yards on 14 carries, and Darrin Moore had nine catches for 88 yards and a touchdown.

“Sometimes things aren’t fair. That’s what life’s about,” coach Tommy Tuberville said. “Our guys played their tails off when they had to come in and play.

“We led all the game except for a couple minutes; just wasn’t meant to be tonight.”

AUSTIN, TEXAS (AP) — Collin Klein and Kansas State just keep finding ways to win.

A week after a wild overtime thriller, Klein and No. 16 Wildcats survived a dominating performance by the Texas defense for a rugged 17-13 victory despite gaining just 121 total yards.

Klein was clutch when he absolutely had to be.

Klein passed for a touchdown in the final seconds of the first half and capped a short drive in the third quarter with his 25th rushing touchdown of the season.

There weren’t many other highlights for Klein and the Wildcats (9-2, 6-2 Big 12), but it was enough for Kansas State’s fourth win in a row over the Longhorns. The Wildcats are the only Big 12 team with a winning record over Texas.

“I just love this team,” Klein said. “Bottom line is we made some plays.”

They didn’t make many.

Klein was sacked five

times, held to four yards rushing — he came in averaging 101 — and completed nine of 17 passes in an offense that managed just eight first downs. He needs two more rushing touchdowns to tie the Big 12 season record set

by Texas running back Ricky Williams in 1998.

“They just beat the tar out of us,” Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said of the UT defense.

Down 17-3 in the third, Texas (6-4, 3-4) had a chance to rally behind backup sophomore Case McCoy, who came in after freshman David Ash threw his second interception. The turnover set up Klein’s rushing touchdown.

McCoy led the Longhorns to a touchdown on his first drive, completing all three of his passes and a rollout 36-yard touchdown strike to tight end Blaine Irby.

“I really thought we had a chance to win until that last play was over,” Texas coach Mack Brown said.

N. 5 Syracuse 92, Colgate 47 SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Playing for the first time since an assistant coach was accused of sex abuse, Syracuse romped to an easy win against Colgate.

It was business as usual for the Orange (4-0) on the court, even as the program was trying to come to grips with molestation allegations

PENN STATE’S TIM FRAZIER DRIVES PAST KENTUCKY’S MARQUIS TEAGUE, RIGHT, during the second half. UK routed PSU, 85-47, on Saturday in Uncasville, Conn. against assistant coach Bernie Fine.

Syracuse placed Fine on administrative leave “in light of the new allegations” that he molested two former ball boys for years. Fine has dismissed the allegations as “patently false,” and expressed confidence he will be vindicated.

Fine’s usual seat behind coach Jim Boeheim was left vacant. This is Fine’s 36th season working for the head coach, who again defended his friend against the charges.

At the Carrier Dome, a subdued crowd of 21,084 came to watch hoops, not make protest signs or chant for the absent coach.

Fine was listed as associate head coach in the game program and his photo and bio remained. Former Syracuse star Gerry McNamara filled in for him. He played on Syracuse’s 2003 NCAA championship team and was a fouryear starter for the Orange.

Fine missed Syracuse’s 46th straight victory against Colgate since 1962, according to STATS LLC.

Dion Waiters scored 16 points, James Southerland had 14 and C.J. Fair 13 for the Orange.

Beavers outlast UT in OT The Associated Press

Oregon State 100, Texas 95, OT EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jared Cunningham scored a career-high 37 points to lead Oregon State to an overtime victory against Texas on Saturday night in the semifinals of the TicketCity Legends Classic.

Cunningham, a junior guard who had 35 points in his previous game against Hofstra, played the last few minutes and the overtime with a split lip. He made several hustle plays down the stretch and went 8-for-8 from the freethrow line in overtime.

The Beavers (4-0) will play No. 18 Vanderbilt in the championship game Monday night at the Izod Center. The Commodores beat North Carolina State 86-79 in the other semifinal.

Devon Collier added 17 points for Oregon State, which trailed 72-64 with 7:11 left in regulation. Cunningham tied the game at 80 with a layup with 1:40 left. Myck Kabongo of Texas (2-1) broke the tie with two free throws with 1:20 to play. Cunningham then made three free throws around one by Kabongo over the final 18 seconds to send the game to overtime tied at 81.

Alexis Wangmene made a reverse layup 54 seconds into overtime to give Texas the lead, but the Beavers went on a 9-0 run that started with 3-pointers by Ahmad Starks and Angus Brandt and ended with two free throws by Cunningham with 1:43 to go.

J’Covan Brown had 25 points — 18 in the first half — and nine assists for the Longhorns, while Kabongo had 13 points.

Classmate’s bad behavior needs to be addressed Dear Annie: My son is in the second grade at a terrific private school. Unfortunately, there is an out-of-control boy who has been in his class since kindergarten. “Boyd” is in the principal’s office nearly every day because he throws temper tantrums, curses the teacher, bullies and otherwise behaves inappropriately. The principal usually lectures him and lets him return to the class he was disrupting, although this year alone, he’s been suspended twice for three days.

My son came home yesterday and told me Boyd put his hand on his private parts and began rubbing. My boyfriend immediately took my son back to the school to talk to the principal, but we can’t seem to get any answers about how to remove this child from the mess he is creating for the other students.

I love this school and hope my youngest child will get in next year. I’m willing to take matters into my own hands, so please tell me what to do about Boyd. — Need School Assistance Dear Need: Boyd’s behavioral issues would be better addressed through the school counselor or a psychologist.

It is unfair that the rest of the class is held hostage to his behavior, especially when the school’s current response

‘Masters’ profiles Woody Allen “American Masters” (8 p.m. Sunday, PBS) will spend three and a half hours over two nights profiling comedian, writer, amateur musician and filmmaker Woody Allen. Before the film’s credits end, we hear from a parade of talents who have worked with Allen over four decades, from Diane Keaton to Scarlett Johansson, Mariel Hemingway, Sean Penn and Owen Wilson. Comedian Chris Rock sums up everybody’s feelings when he marvels that Allen has remained creative, active, prolific and, for the most part, relevant for 40-plus years.

Filmmaker Robert Weide got rare access to the busy and secretive filmmaker, and we also hear from Allen’s younger sister Letty Aronson and longtime manager Jack Rollins.

The most interesting moments of “Woody Allen” concern his youth and formative years in Brooklyn, a period that Allen has mined for material in films from “Annie Hall” to “Radio Days.”

Allen hadn’t even graduated from high school when he established himself as regular joke writer for newspaper columnists and radio performers. His managers pushed Allen into public performance, something that didn’t come natural to the reclusive writer. Nightclub notoriety would lead to a writing assignment for “Casino Royale,” a 1967 comedy he found so botched by studio interference that he insisted he’d never work on a movie that he couldn’t control as writer and director. He’s been doing just that since “Take the Money and Run” (1969), making him the undisputed master of independent cinema.

Sunday’s airing follows Allen’s work from birth, through his 10-year run of success during the 1970s. Monday’s concluding chapter deals with the hits and misses of the last 30 years.

Some may dismiss or avoid the film for its failure to moralize about the Mia Farrow/Soon-Yi scandal. If “Allen” has a fault, it’s that it rarely tries to place his body of work in a larger cultural context or explain why his films of the 1970s seemed to resonate with audiences in ways that many of his later works do not.

A subject like Woody Allen deserves a discussion on how popular culture has changed, how Allen’s beloved New York has been transformed and how movies and the movie-going audience have evolved in the past 40 years. For the record, Allen still writes everything — scripts, short stories and humor pieces — on the same manual typewriter he bought for himself with joke-writing money, more than a half-century ago.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Don’t try to suppress your childlike joy when facing certain situations. Some of your friends might not feel the same way. Tonight: Think “tomorrow.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You might be happiest close to home. Stay centered and get on top of a problem. Tonight: The fun surrounds you.

Obama gets little pushback during Asia-Pacific trip

By Ben Feller Associated Press

BALI, INDONESIA — An assertive President Barack Obama got much of what he wanted during his Asia-Pacific trip because the results didn’t depend on negotiating with the world.

He mostly just announced them.

Obama expanded the U.S. military presence in southeast Asia, sent tough signals to China in its backyard, ordered his top diplomat on a breakthrough mission to Myanmar and presided over J.

It was a trip on his terms, unlike the dynamic he has with the U.S. Congress.

No pillows in coach, but it’s sundae time up front USDA targets stores in

By Scott Mayerowitz Associated Press

NEW YORK — Flying has never been so good — for those able to splurge.

While most Thanksgiving travelers will fight for overhead bins and go hours without a snack or room to stretch their legs, life in first class is stress-free. It’s always been a special place on the other side of the curtain. Now, it’s getting even cushier.

U.S. airlines, profitable again after a disastrous decade, are spending almost $2 billion to upgrade amenities for their highest-paying customers. On the most profitable international routes, high fliers are being treated with preflight champagne, flat-screen TVs and seats that turn into beds. Flight attendants greet them by name, hang up jackets and serve meals on china.

The lavish treatment is meant to keep people like Tim Carlson happy. Carlson, the chief financial officer of a semiconductor materials company, has taken 189 flights in the past two years, traveling 353,176 miles on United and its partners.

After the pilots, Carlson might just be the most important person on the plane.

United will do anything to make sure another airline doesn’t steal his business.

Agents call him about delays and reroute him so he doesn’t miss meetings.

THIS OCT. 28, 2011, PHOTO SHOWS the new first class interior section of a United Airlines 747 plane at San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco. U.S. airlines are spending nearly $2 billion to upgrade long-neglected lounges and aircraft. Their most-prized customers are getting new seats that turn into beds, large flat-screen TVs and savory food and wine.

“I go to the top of the list for the next flight,” Carlson says.

On a recent trip from Newark, N.J., to Brussels, he was met at the curb with a boarding pass and escorted to the front of the security line. Four minutes after being dropped off, he was past the checkpoint.

Most of the 3.4 million Americans expected to fly this holiday week won’t get anything close to that treat-

ment. They’ve paid a little under $400 for their roundtrip tickets. And it’s a cutthroat business. To save $5, passengers are likely to choose another airline.

So, it’s no surprise that the most loyal customers, and those willing to pay more for better services, are the ones airlines want to reward.

First-class and businessclass passengers make up only 8 percent of international travelers but account for 27 percent of revenue, according to the International Air Transport Association.

While a round-trip coach ticket between Chicago and Beijing might run $1,000, business class costs $4,000 and first class $12,000.

“There is a war going on for the profitable passenger,” says Henry H. Harteveldt, cofounder of the travel firm Atmosphere Research Group.

Airlines are focusing on three areas: ! Giving passengers a full night’s sleep. Delta, United and US Airways are installing seats in premium international cabins that recline into flat beds. American isn’t making that investment but is adding turndown service on some routes; at bedtime, passengers are given pajamas and slippers while flight attendants lay down a quilted seat cover, duvet and pillow. ! Stimulating taste buds.

Come mealtime, passengers can forget TV dinners. US Airways serves citrus mahi-

mahi with lemon herb sauce, jasmine rice, baby carrots and grilled asparagus in international business class.

American serves Ben & Jerry’s ice cream sundaes. Hot fudge, butterscotch, berries, pecans and whipped cream are added at each seat. ! Providing escapes from the chaos of airport terminals. Delta’s new Seattle lounge features floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Mount Rainier. American’s new San Francisco club lets members cozy up next to a fireplace.

“They’re now realizing that they need to offer a competitive product to attract the highest-dollar passengers,” says Gary Leff, cofounder of frequent flier site MilePoint.

On foreign airlines, the good life is even better.

Emirates Airlines firstclass passengers can shower on its Airbus A380s, and walled-off suites come with minibars. Lufthansa has a separate terminal in Frankfurt for its first-class passengers, but it’s hardly an inconvenience: Passengers get dedicated immigration officers and are driven to their plane in a Mercedes-Benz SClass or Porsche Cayenne.

Singapore Airlines trains flight attendants how to walk without waking passengers.

And at Virgin Atlantic’s London lounge, passengers can play pool, get a massage or relax in the sauna.

food stamp trafficking

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A criminal swindle of the nation’s $64.7 billion food stamp program is playing out at small neighborhood stores around the country, where thousands of retailers are suspected of trading deals with customers, exchanging lesser amounts of cash for their stamps.

Authorities say the stamps are then redeemed as usual by the unscrupulous merchants at face value, netting them huge profits and diverting as much as $330 million in taxpayer funds annually a year. But the transactions are electronically recorded and federal investigators, wise to the practice, are closely monitoring thousands of convenience stories and mom-and-pop groceries in a push to halt the fraud.

Known as food stamp trafficking, the illegal buying or selling of food stamps is a federal offense that has resulted in 597 convictions nationwide and $197.4 million in fines, restitution and forfeiture orders, over the past three years, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of the Inspector General. The USDA last month awarded a 10-year contract worth up to $25 million to Fairfax, Va.based SRA International, Inc., to step up the technology used to combat fraud.

“It’s misuse of the program.

It’s a misuse of taxpayer dollars at a tough time. Not only

the people who need the program are having a tough time, but the people who are paying for the program are having a tough time, too,” said Kevin Concannon, USDA Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services.

The fraud is almost always found among the 199,000 smaller stores that process 15 percent of the nation’s total food stamp transactions, Concannon said.

The modern food stamp program was created in 1977 to help low-income families.

Benefits are loaded onto plastic debit cards that can only be redeemed at authorized stores. More than 45 million people were receiving benefits as of August, according to program figures, nearly half of them children.

Nationwide, 234,000 stores are authorized to accept food stamps, including 35,000 supermarkets where 85 percent of benefits are redeemed, Concannon said.

Last year, 931 stores nationally were dismissed from the food stamp program for trafficking and 907 others were sanctioned for lesser violations — 37 percent of the nearly 5,000 retailers being investigated. A March USDA report found more than 8 percent of the large and small stores, 210,000 in all, allowed people to cash in their benefits between 2006 and 2008.

Now, how did my cactus know Thanksgiving is almost here? I did not put up any special decorations or start playing turkey songs. The cactus has not been out shopping (it would probably just be confused about the season if it had) or watching television.” if it had) or watching television.

The Thanksgiving cactus, like other holiday cacti, blooms as a response to day length. The plant needs 25 consecutive days with nights lasting more than 12 hours to stimulate flowering. After that time period, the plant needs an additional nine to 10 weeks for buds to fully develop into blooms.

In my office, the Thanksgiving cactus receives natu-

ral light during the day and has the necessary long nights when the overhead lights are off in the evening. (Nights are naturally longer than 12 hours after the fall equinox, which occurred on Sept. 23 this year.)

In your home, lighting may inhibit flowering. You do not have to sit around in the dark in future years just to get your plant to bloom, though.

Just put your holiday cactus in a closet or dark room each

evening starting in mid- to late September.

Many gardeners report that keeping the plant outside over the summer (in indirect light and bring them in before frost) is enough of a light change to stimulate flowering for the appropriate holidays.

Temperature may also stimulate flowering: When holiday cacti are kept at 50 to 55 degrees, they will flower regardless of day length.

However, temperature-stimulated flowering is generally less uniform than flowering stimulated by day length. If temperatures drop below 50 degrees, the cacti may not bloom at all.

Thanksgiving and Christmas cacti are closely related species — Schlumbergera truncate and S. bridgesii, re-

spectively. They are both native to the tropical rainforests of South America. Easter cactus, Rhipsalidopsis gaertnerii, is found in the natural forests of South America.

The most common of the holiday cacti is the Thanksgiving cactus. Thanksgiving cacti differ from the others by the hook-like appendages on each segment. The edges of Christmas cactus segments lack the hooks. Easter cacti also have smooth-edged segments and may have small brown hair-like structures.

Holiday cacti can also hybridize, making species identification more difficult.

Kovel’s Antiques: Evolution of Thanksgiving kitchen spurs inventions

By Terry Kovel

Thanksgiving dinner in America during the 18th and early 19th centuries was very different than it is today.

The traditional menu today includes turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, corn, fruit and pumpkin pie. But at the first Thanksgiving, potatoes were unavailable. Cranberries were nearby but there was no sugar, so probably the berries were not eaten.

Think about the problems the Pilgrims faced. They had to find and kill meat or fish for dinner. There were no ovens, and records suggest there were about 150 people at the first Thanksgiving dinner and only four women to do the cooking.

Cooking was done over an open fire. Roasting took a

long time, so the turkey was probably boiled. The Pilgrims ate lobster, goose, cod fish, venison, rabbit, cheese and a pudding made from hominy (corn).

Throughout the next century, indoor kitchens and special equipment made cooking easier. But it was still difficult to keep food hot. One solution was the warming dish.

It was made of silver or porcelain. The top looked like a normal plate, but it was made in two parts. The bottom section was deep enough to hold hot water that was poured in through a hole near the top.

The water warmed the dish and the food.

Today we have microwave ovens and electric heating trays, but every Thanksgiving dinner still takes a lot of work done by a few cooks.

A: Vitrock is a Depression glass pattern that was made

by Hocking Glass Co. from 1934 to 1937. It has a raised flowered rim and often is called “Floral Rim” or “Flower Rim.” Vitrock was made in plain white and sometimes in white with fired-on colors. It also was made in solid red, solid green or with decal decorations. Hocking Glass Co. was founded in Lancaster, Ohio, in 1905. Its name was changed to Anchor Hocking Glass Corp. in 1937.

a wooden handle. The word “bread” is carved on the handle and the blade is marked “George Butler & Co., Sheffield, England.” Can you tell me if it has value?

A: George Butler’s silver company dates back to 1681, but the original company went out of business in 1952.

Rights to its name and marks were bought by other companies, so your knife may have been made after 1952.

In the 1970s, many wooden boards with the word “bread” carved in the border were imported and sold at U.S. flea markets. You also could find knives with carved wooden handles like yours. A few were old, but most were later copies. The knives were selling for $75 to $100 then, and would sell for about the same now.

THIS UNUSUAL CHINESE EXPORT DISH was made in the 18th century to keep food warm.

The dish’s Fitzhugh pattern was used for full sets of dishes.

The warming dish is 10 inches in diameter and sold for $211 at a 2011 DuMouchelles auction in Detroit.

“It’s a dog’s life, all right,” you continue, unconcerned that conversing in the dark with a dumb animal (no offense, Lucy) could be construed as weird, if not wacky.

“You have no worldly worries. Your biggest concern is where your next meal will come from. Oh, but I know!

It’ll come from a $2.70 can of dog food, specially formulated to break up your kidney stones, taking up valuable space in my pantry.”

The dog heaves a sigh. Her eyes fall closed again.

“You’ve got no bills to pay.

No mother-in-law in a nursing home. Even when the vet said to lose those extra pounds, all you had to do is spend a little more time at the dog park and cut out snacks. Boom! Five pounds gone. Who does that!??!”

Yeah, yeah. I know we tell you to hurry up and pee, but it’s not as if your entire career depends on it.

She’s snoring now. It’s annoying, but undeniably adorable.

“I want more of what you’ve got, girl,” you sigh, wondering if dogs make melatonin, too.

You watch her for a few minutes, listening to the rhythm of her breathing. You climb onto the couch and cozy up next to her, covering both of you with a blanket.

She’s warm, and impossibly soft.

Black Friday? If you do, expect a reprieve from the granny-shoving going on at door-buster central.

“Chances are very good you will not get elbowed down here as you try to get the latest hot thing,” says Cathy Hamilton, director of Downtown Lawrence Inc. “I’m a big fan of outdoor shopping. ... I do think we’ve got all the little respites built in down here.

You can go back outside, get a bolt of fresh air, you can go down the block, you can get a cup of coffee, you can stop for lunch — if you start real early, you can stop for breakfast.”

The ebb and flow of shopping downtown is much different. The slow time will be the morning (check Facebook and Twitter pages for individual store opening times), when other shoppers are still in line at the big box stores.

The crowds should pick up in the afternoon, when big-box and outlet shoppers decide to head down after lunch. That said, the true sweet spot for shoppers who don’t want to share their aisles might just be around 5 p.m.

“It’s Black Friday, it’s Final Friday and it’s Santa rescue night,” Hamilton says, laughing. “My feeling would be, start shopping at 5 p.m. when everybody and their pig is on the corner of Ninth and Mass. waiting for Santa.

Youth pastor helps save Children’s Holiday Shop

By Michael Auchard Special to the Journal-World

The Children’s Holiday Shop, a Lawrence staple and an event that helped lowincome children give gifts to their families on Christmas, almost didn’t happen this year. The Lawrence Arts Center, which had previously hosted the event, needed to refocus resources on programs directly related to arts education and enrichment, which meant that the shop would have to go.

Jaime Prescott, a youth pastor at Lawrence Wesleyan Church, however, decided he’d do something to try and assist the floundering workshop.

He met with representatives from the arts center and, with the assistance of a group of fellow youth pastors in town, The Lawrence Youth Network, was able to save the event. As part of the restructure, this year the event has been relocated to New York School, 936 N.Y. “We’re literally doing this to help low-income children be able to buy gifts for their families,” Prescott says, “and as an opportunity to keep our students, teenagers in the community, helping this community. I think we’re killing two birds with one stone; it’s a neat opportunity.”

Prescott says one major element of the Children’s Holiday Shop is the shop itself, a program that has traditionally served 500-800 children, ages 3-12, and their families. Children are able to select gifts for families or other important people in their lives. The pre-wrapped gifts range in price from $1$5. Volunteer “elves” assist the children in picking out their gifts.

“It provides an opportunity for low-income children to have something under the tree for their mom, dad, brother or sister,” Prescott says. “And just the excitement that kid’s going to have on Christmas morning —

ing for the fire department to rescue poor Santa, you could be in shopping your wallet dry.”

If you do go in the afternoon, Hamilton suggests parking on the lots off Massachusetts Street or in the parking garage at Ninth and New Hampshire streets. It’s a bit of a walk, but if you do buy anything large, most of the retailers will let you pull up in the alleyways behind the storefronts to pick up your goods.

Objective: Saving money without spending your sanity Just like Santa, make a list and check it twice. And by that, our experts mean stick with it, says Jenn Hethcoat, Anderson’s Shop Talk blog cohort and coupon expert.

“Shop with a definite list.

This is not the time to ‘idea shop,’” Hethcoat says. “The purchases that end with ‘But (enter family/friend/partner name here) would really like something like this!’ will end up costing you money and will not be a bargain in the long run. Know what you are shopping for.”

Hethcoat recommends bringing a list of items you’ve already bought and write down what you purchase along the way. Stocking stuffers can add up quickly, she says.

And for those who plan a marathon session of shopping, it’s also important to make sure to take care of yourself while you’re out for the best possible experience.

Make sure to eat (and drink, if you’re a coffee person) before you go and have snacks in the car or your purse to

JAIME PRESCOTT, A YOUTH PASTOR at Lawrence Wesleyan Church, and The Lawrence Youth Network took on the Children’s Holiday Shop, which was in danger of cancellation. This year, the shop will be at New York School, 936 N.Y. for mom to open a gift they picked out especially for her.”

A special emphasis was put on helping the needy with this re-created version of the shop, Prescott says. He says the program’s Holiday Shop Dollars will aid the needy as best as the Lawrence Youth Network can.

“The Holiday Shop Dollars are intended for those children who are specifically low-income children.

We have targeted, right off the bat, New York Elementary because it’s a Title One school – every student qualifies for free lunch. What we said to their principal is that their students could have first dibs. We’ll make sure that every student has $10 to spend when they come into the shop.”

Prescott says that although the program would like to reach out to other organizations and include more lowincome children, for now the benefits have only been extended to students of New York School. Still, he says most children will be able to

perk you up mid-trip. This strategy will also help you in your money-saving goals — the less money you spend on food, the more you have for presents — and you’re less likely to make a costly diet mistake, too, while still paying for your turkey dinner.

Another tip? The buddy system. A wingman will make 3 a.m. seem a lot less painful.

Plus, you can use the “divide and conquer” deployment technique with two people.

Objective: No regrets Not only will having a list (and sticking to it) save you money but it might save you from yourself. Shopper’s regret can be hard-hitting if you’ve bought something offlist and ended up without a true deal or with something that is ill-suited for you or a loved one.

Also, in their blind hope for you to buy, sometimes retailers make big Black Friday mistakes that you pay for later, Hethcoat says.

“The big-ticket items that are drastically reduced in price are not always the top of the line as they appear to be,” Hethcoat says. “For instance: Last Black Friday there were stainless steel appliances on a magnificent deal at Home Depot. This ‘sale’ line was produced specifically for the Black Friday sale and ended up having lots of defects and issues that the company normally did not have.”

And if your worries and regret-o-meter steered you away from things you wish you’d bought? There’s always Cyber Monday.

on the ground and use a selftimer. I often tilt the camera up into a group of flowers and just guess at my framing, and then review results to adjust my angle. Because the movement of your finger pressing the shutter button can jar the camera, the self-timer is a good way to avoid unintended camera movement on or off the tripod.

CHILDREN’S HOLIDAY SHOP What: A shopping event for low-income children that allows them to experience the joy of gift-giving.

Where: New York School, 936 N.Y. When: Dec. 3, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

To volunteer: Lawrence Youth Net is still looking for volunteer elves to help wrap, shop and work cashiers. Visit www.lawrenceyouthnet.com/ ChildrensHolidayShop.html to sign up. find a gift within their price range.

“Everything is planned with a low-income child in mind. That’s why everything will be priced $1-$5.”

Susan Tate, director of the Lawrence Arts Center, says she’s happy Prescott and company have picked up the Children’s Holiday Shop in lieu of the arts center.

“We were happy that another group wanted to pick

up and provide a place for kids and families who can’t afford to buy toys,” Tate says.

“We decided to focus on our core mission of arts, education, performance and exhibition.”

Tate says it was purely a mission-oriented change for the arts center, and that it will still provide assistance for young artists in the community.

“It has to do with us using our resources to provide experience for children in art and allowing a social services organization to provide what’s more a social service.

We have a scholarship fund, and with it we want to provide financial assistance to take ballet, painting and ceramics rather than shopping.

We think it’s a great project and we’re happy to provide some of our leftover materials to this church organization. We’re glad they’re taking it on.”

Returning volunteer Kylie Rovenstine, a senior at Free State High School, says the program has been a fun experience for her and she

looks forward to working at the Children’s Holiday Shop again this year.

“I really enjoyed working with (the children),” Rovenstine says. “Last year I was an elf, which means I would help kids walk through the shop. Just that feeling of knowing that you’re making that difference in a little kid’s life, especially the ones that came through with the holiday bucks. Just knowing they would have something to give to their families — it was really cool to know that you could make someone’s Christmas really special.”

Rovenstine says that, while the saving of this event is special, it simply underlines what Prescott does for the community and for his church on a regular basis.

“It’s a very big deal, but this is honestly part of who he is. He’s just a really humble guy who sees an opportunity to serve in the community, picks up on this and says, ‘This needs to happen, so I’m going to make it happen.’”

AUTHOR MARIO VARGAS LLOSA, shown at a book-signing June 13, 2010, in Italy, says winning the Nobel Prize in Literature last year has changed his life. that had on your life?

A: That gives you the possibility to buy a lot of books (laughter).

Q: Do you feel that the Nobel Prize has put more pressure on you to create work that meets a certain standard?

A: No. I don’t think (being a Nobel laureate) will change my way of writing. It’s something that’s very important, but I’ve been writing all my life.

Q: What led you to become a writer?

A: I was a voracious reader.

I learned how to read when I was 5 years old. And I remember reading Jules Verne, Alexandre Dumas and all the books of adventure that were so popular among young people in Latin America and all over the world. Probably, my literary vocation was a consequence of this.

Q: Your work often deals with politics. What’s your

impression of the political culture of Latin America today?

A: With some exceptions — such as Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua — things in Latin America seem to be going much better than in the past. We have less military dictatorships now, and we have much more democratic regimes. The real problems of Latin America now are not political but are more related to (the illegal drug trade). It’s a very serious problem that has been growing and is a source of violence and corruption.

But in general, most Latin American countries are going in the right direction.

Q: Which of your novels are you most satisfied with?

A: Each of my books has been, for me, an adventure.

But if I had to choose, I would choose the books that were more difficult to write.

For example, in the late ’60s,

Parachuting a first and last for me, Not a pleasant experience, you see.

By Calvin Wilson

ST. LOUIS — In the realm of Latin American literature, Mario Vargas Llosa is held in the highest esteem. He is perhaps best known for his novels — which include “The Time of the Hero,” ‘‘Conversation in the Cathedral” and “The War of the End of the World.” But Vargas Llosa, 75 and a native of Peru, is also a noted journalist, essayist and playwright. He unsuccessfully ran for president of Peru — against Alberto Fujimori — in 1990.

Last year, Vargas Llosa won the Nobel Prize in Literature, an award whose previous recipients include his contemporaries Gabriel Garcia Marquez of Colombia and Octavio Paz of Mexico. On Monday, Vargas Llosa received another honor: the St. Louis Literary Award, presented by the St. Louis University Library Associates.

Recently, Vargas Llosa spoke from his home in Madrid. The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Q: How did you react to winning the Nobel Prize?

A: I didn’t expect it. It was a big, big surprise. And it has changed my life — I have been traveling a lot, and it has taken up a lot of my time.

But next year I’ll have much more time to write again.

Q: The prize comes with $1.5 million. What effect has

which there isn’t much, can sound chilling and clinical.

Here’s Bowles confronting the immensity of the Sahara after dark: “You leave the gate of the fort or the town behind, pass the camels lying outside, go up into the dunes, or out onto the hard, stony plain and stand awhile alone... Here, in this wholly mineral landscape lighted by stars like flares, even memory disappears; nothing is left but your own breathing and the sound of your heart beating.

A strange, and by no means pleasant, process of reintegration begins inside you, and you have the choice of fighting against it, and insisting on remaining the person you have always been, or letting it take its course. For no one who has stayed in the Sahara for a while is quite the same as when he came.”

Bowles (1910-99) was born in New York and made his first trip to Europe (shortly followed by his first visit to Gertrude Stein) at age 19. By the 1940s, he had launched careers as a composer for Broadway and a writer of fiction and nonfiction, with decades of work as a translator yet ahead. The timeline at the end of the book tracks many friendships (Aaron Copland, Tennessee Williams, William S. Burroughs) and many travels with and without his wife, Jane. But Bowles worked steadily.

He first moved to North Africa in 1947 (just before

the commercial success of “The Sheltering Sky”), and many of his trips were against a background of growing anti-colonialism.

(Morocco won independence from France in 1956.)

Bowles was disgusted by the colonial mindset but found plenty to scoff at in old Islamic habits, as well. If it looked like modernity or superstition, he was against it.

More than a dozen of the pieces were written for Holiday magazine between 1953 and 1966. In those accounts and many others, Bowles likes to withhold. He leaves out entrances, exits, explanations and his own complicated personal life (though Bowles was married for 35 years, he “had his male attachments,” Theroux notes).

You have to wonder whether Bruce Chatwin (another desert-wanderer and elliptical writer, who was born 30 years later and died 10 years sooner) studied Bowles.

Besides the many pieces about Morocco here, we get accounts of Bowles’ early digs in Paris, trips to Spain and Madeira, and reminiscences about life on Taprobane, the 2.5-acre island he briefly owned in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and used as a seasonal residence. (Travelers take note: As recently as last year, that five-bedroom estate could be rented for $1,000 per night and up.)

The collection would be more satisfying if it ranged more widely — if Bowles had more to say about Europe or Mexico (where he lived briefly), or even the U.S., where he surely felt like an outsider.

I wrote the novel “Conversation in the Cathedral” (about life in 1950s Peru under dictator Manuel Odria). That was a very difficult book, and one that I would save from the fire.

Q: One of your betterknown books in the United States is a comic novel set in the ’50s, “Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter.”

It was the basis for a 1990 movie called “Tune in Tomorrow” that starred Peter Falk. What did you think of the film, which moved the action from Lima, Peru, to New Orleans?

A: All the jokes about Argentines were changed to jokes about Albanians. But Peter Falk did a wonderful job as the scriptwriter. I met him, and we had a wonderful dinner. He told me that he was happy to do the film, because he was absolutely fed up with “Columbo.” It was so funny.

‘Hark! A Vagrant’ now a book

By Sam Thielman Newsday

Remember, at the very end of “Hamlet,” when Fortinbras, aghast at the pile of corpses produced by the play’s final scene, turns to the only other surviving character and says, “Tell me honestly, Horatio, is everyone in my new kingdom totally nutballs?”

No? Then you’ve made the terrible mistake of not reading Kate Beaton’s hilarious “Hark! A Vagrant,” the long-running Web comic now collected in book form (Drawn & Quarterly, $19.95).

“Hark!” may be the most intellectually fertile cartoon on the Internet — certainly the most literary. With a keen ear for the absurd and an astonishing command of historical minutiae, Beaton tackles subjects ranging in tone and seriousness from “The Great Gatsby” to her childhood notions of what an ’80s businesswoman would act like on a date, and always comes away smiling.

Along the way, you’ll notice particular things that push Beaton’s buttons: jerks who steal all the credit (Thomas Edison from Nikola Tesla, among others), the predominance of white dudes (like, say, Lewis & Clark) in areas where women (such as, oh, Sacagawea) did just as much good. It’s heady stuff for a cartoon with a lot of silly jokes about needing to go to the bathroom and a sidesplitting extended sequence called “The Adventures of Sexy Batman.”

Forty-some years later with grandchildren all around, I feel fortunate and happy He did not let me down.

I now realize the service did help me prepare for life, Being a serviceman, a POW, and surviving all its strife.

Made me a better man with patience to endure, So belated “thanks” to Uncle Sam for that very meaningful tour.

— Herman Hallberg, Lawrence

HAVING A SUCCESSFUL BLACK FRIDAY takes planning, timing and a little luck.

Coming up with game plan key for accomplishing Black Friday objectives “

By Sarah Henning

year I went out, I think it was

choose to accept it: defeat Black Friday.

The unofficial national holiday of shopping has grown too big for its britches. It’s so bloated that it’s spilled over into Thanksgiving, with stores opening while the turkey’s still warm and the pie’s half eaten. No longer can a shopper just settle for arising at 0500 hours to scrimmage for TVs. No. Now shoppers can fuel up for a shopping spree lasting a full day or more.

Conquering 24 hours or more of shopping is no small feat. It takes planning, precision and a comprehensive understanding of the enemies behind the lines: fatigue, buyer’s remorse and credit card bills. To help you achieve success and overtake your target(s), we’ve found you the perfect marching orders.

Objective: The outlets For those who like the idea of shopping on Thanksgiving Day, a trip to the fringes of Kansas City may be well worth it. Just off I-70, The Legends Kansas City has stores opening as early as 8 p.m.

— Lisa Quier Wagner, a consultant to The Legends and the chair of the Outlet Marketing Alliance Thanksgiving night with most stores open by 10 p.m.

Lisa Quier Wagner, a consultant to The Legends and the chair of the Outlet Marketing Alliance, says that if you’re going to hit a big shopping center, check in with social media outlets like Facebook or Twitter. Often you can get an up-to-date list of store hours, specials and even win special shopping privileges (like getting to go in an hour early). Once you’ve got your social media ducks in a row, make a game plan so that you can get the best parking and shopping route for your buck.

“I think a great strategy is to visit the website, to download the map, and take a highlighter and start highlighting your favorite stores and then you can create your own little route,” Quier Wagner says. “Look at the specials page and print that out, and then you’ll know what your specials

are, you’ll know where you should park to be close to one starting point or another and then it’s like planning your attack.”

Because her boys are old enough, they will also divide and conquer. Anderson says that if you can deploy this method, it’s well worth the success rate.

“I don’t hear of many kids who like to go out on Black Friday, but my boys love it. I think for them the big things are electronics or movies and DVDs and that sort of stuff. If we say we’re going to go out at 3 in the morning, they want to go,” she says. “And if there’s more than one thing we’re going for in one store, we’ll split up. And everybody kind of has something that they’re going to go for and then we’ll split up in the lobby.

And then it gets fun.”

Macro lenses make tiny subjects larger than life

By Mike Yoder myoder@ljworld.com

Macro lenses enable photographers to get their cameras extremely close to a subject and capture life-size images. For digital single-lens-reflex (DSLR) photographers, this requires a separate macro lens or a lens with a macro setting. If you’re a point-and-shoot (P&S) enthusiast you should already have this capability because P&S cameras have built-in macro lenses.

Macro lenses for DSLR cameras come in several sizes and with various fields of view. They can be used for general photography, but unlike standard lenses their design also enables you to focus within inches of a subject. Nikon lists no fewer than 10 unique macro lenses in their catalog. Their 105 mm Micro-Nikkor f/2.8 would be an excellent choice for photographers who want to explore macro photography but also shoot portraits or other subjects with a mid-telephoto field-of-view. If you prefer photographing with a normal field of view, the 35 mm equivalent of the “nifty fifty”

50 mm lens, you might prefer Canon’s 50 mm, f/2.5 Macro that can get you within 9 inches of a subject.

On point-and-shoots, you usually need to select a macro mode. Usually symbolized by a flower icon, once it’s selected your camera engages a focusing range of minimal distances, enabling you to focus closer than normal on any subject.

Most can capture photographs within inches of a subject. Point-and-shoot cameras can actually focus closer than many DSLR macro lenses. If you don’t need the quality and high resolution of a 35 mm, large-sensor DSLR camera, P&S cameras may be a better and cheaper option for exploring macro photography.

Here are a few tips for macro photography that apply both to professional DSLR and consumer P&S cameras: 1. The closer your lens is to a subject, the less depth-of-field or zone of focus you will have. So focusing accurately is critical. It helps to use a tripod or a support to steady your shots. To increase your depth-of-field, set your lens to

It’s a weird and wacky world at 3 in the morning.

First, there’s the way your home seems so spooky in the dark. The way the floors creak so loudly when you’re trying to creep out of the bedroom without waking the other one up.

After all, it’s not his fault you’re awake at this ungodly hour.

That was last night. Tonight, you have your own bladder to blame. Your bladder, and a blankety-blank brain that refuses to rest.

Of course, the dog wants to follow you. She wants in on this action, however weird it may be.

“Hurry up!” you whisper. She pads through the door you’ve opened just a crack. But not before giving one of those dog tagrattling shakes that threatens to wake the sleeping giant.

“Ssssshhhh! Come on,” you mutter and usher her into the hall.

You flip on a few lights, keeping them low on the dimmer.

The book says too much light can trick the brain into thinking it’s daytime. Something about how melatonin levels respond to darkness. You don’t remember. You’re too tired. But, obviously, not too tired to go to sleep. Wacky, indeed.

You let the dog out, knowing that after she does her business, she’ll come inside, fully expecting a hearty breakfast in her bowl. She doesn’t know it’s only 3 o’clock. She doesn’t know why you’re sitting there in the dark, not watching QVC or Twittering on your laptop. The book — titled “Sleep for Success” — says to avoid over-stimulating “light sources.” Instead, the book says, do something relaxing, like read. Because reading in the dark is so relaxing, isn’t it?

So, there you sit, lights low.

Meditate. That’s the ticket, you think. Closing your bloodshot eyes, you breathe deeply. In and out ... in and out. You feel your heart slowing down to a relaxed beats-per-minute and think, “I’m getting sleepy … getting … sleep … y.” You embrace the silence.

Suddenly, there’s scratching at the door and the ear-shattering sound of that all-over shake.

You pop up, barely avoiding an old rawhide bone, and let the dog in. As predicted, she bolts to her bowl, then looks to you as if to say, “What the weird and wacky what?!”

The trance is broken. You’re wide-awake again — sleepless and unsuccessful — so you sit back down and stare into space.

Ten minutes later, the dog is zonked out on the sofa beside you.

“Now, that just makes me crazy,” you say.

The dog lifts her head and opens one eye.

“How can you nap all day, wake up in the middle of the night, then fall back to sleep without so much as an anxiety attack?”

She blinks slowly, as if to say, “I’ve never given it much thought.”
