more of our nest being full, Cole told a packed Montgomery Room at the C.L. Hoover Opera House. At full strength, Fort Rileys troop population would be about 19,000 to 21,000 troops, according to Cole, which doesnt include the loss of the Fourth Brigade Combat Team announced in June as part of overall Army cuts. Cole estimated the loss of the brigade will cut Fort Rileys numbers by 1,500 to

1,700, not including any associated families. Those cuts are supposed to take place gradually by 2017. Still, Cole said the bases economic impact on the region should remain just less than $2 billion.

Obama tries persuading the skeptical on Syria

The Daily Union is a Montgomery Communications newspaper, 2013

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama worked on Monday to persuade skeptical lawmakers to endorse a U.S. military intervention in civil warwracked Syria, winning conditional support from two leading Senate foreign policy hawks even as he encountered resistance from members of his own party after two days of a determined push to sell the plan. Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Obama still needs to make a strong case for attacking the regime of President

Bashar Assad, but they toned down past criticism that the presidents plan was too weak to change the course of the fighting in Syria in favor of the opposition. We have to make it clear that a vote against this would be catastrophic in its consequences, now and in future international crises, McCain told reporters outside the White House following an hour-long private meeting that he and Graham had with Obama. But the outcome of any vote remained in doubt amid continued skepticism in a war-weary Congress. Several Democrats in a conference call with administration officials pushed

back against military action, questioning both the intelligence about a chemical attack last month outside Damascus and the value of an intervention to United States interests, according to aides on the call. Others demanded narrower authorization than that requested by the administration. The White House has put forward a proposed bill authorizing the use of force that, as drafted, is far too broad and open ended, and could be used to justify everything from a limited cruise missile strike to a no fly zone and the introduction of American ground troops, said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a member

Big Red One says goodbye to Gedney

1st Inf. Div. Public Affairs
cessor, Maj. Gen. William C. Mayville Jr. Before taking command of the division earlier this year, then-Brig. Gen. Funk served as the deputy commanding general of maneuver. He and Gedney served alongside one another as the 1st Infantry Divisionled Regional CommandEast. Funk, on behalf of him and his Family, called the Gedneys lifetime friends, later saying the British general was my brother, my wingman, my hunting partner, my friend. Over the last two years, Felix and Polly Gedney have given a great deal of love, time and hard work to the highly successful organization that is the 1st Inf. Div. today, Funk said. Gedney credited the divisions success on its ethos and culture, which sets exceptionally high standards and maintains them, the professionalism, commitment and leadership of the Soldiers and civilians at every level within the division, Fort Riley and the Central Flint Hills Region. The support that the division receives through the close relationships with the local community and Kansas State University, as well as the fantastic work done on post by the many organizations and individual volunteers, is simply amazing, Gedney said. This is the heart of the Big Red One. During the deployment, Gedney was responsible for the integration of personnel from the Polish and French brigades, along with their Afghan counterparts, into two division command post exercises,

FORT RILEY With a simple statement, the 1st Infantry Divisions first British deputy commanding general for transition closed the book on his two years at Fort Riley My name is Gedney, and I am, and always will be, a Big Red One soldier. The 1st Inf. Div. hosted a Victory Honors ceremony for Brig. Felix G. Gedney (UK) Aug. 21 at Victory Park. Gedney, a 25-year veteran of the British Army, was the first general from the United Kingdom to serve in the Big Red One. Col. (promotable) Chris Ghika is set to take his place this fall. Gedney said his time with the division was characterized by surprise at being chosen for the assignment, excitement to serve with the U.S. Armys oldest and best division, and then a fair amount of chaos and confusion as we moved to Kansas and got to grips with living and working in the U.S. In the last two years, Gedney, his wife, Polly, and their three school-age sons were divided between the U.S., Afghanistan and England. It was a challenge at times, but a hugely enjoyable experience, Gedney said. Gedney shared his thoughts on why the 1st Infantry Division is what it is today, attributing it to the vision and leadership of Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, commanding general, 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley, and his prede-

Commander of the 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley, Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk (from left) with Brig. Felix Gedney (UK) the first general from the United Kingdom to serve in the Big Red One. Gedney said goodbye recently and will be replaced by Col. Chris Ghika this fall.
Funk said. After returning to Fort Riley in March, he implemented several sustainment programs focused on facilities and infrastructure to improve the long-duration sustainability of Fort Riley. I like to think that the U.K.s link with the 1st Infantry Division has been a great success, Gedney said. I hope I have provided something to the Big Red One team, beyond stories of elephant polo and motorcycles, and I will take back to the British Army a wealth of knowledge of how this great Army operates. Funk and Gedney are both soldiers defending each of their nations ways of life, Funk said, and their allegiance remains inextricably linked for the better. To really gain an appreciation for the alliance between the U.S. and the United Kingdom, one must understand Soldiers, Funk said. Because without truly understanding what makes a soldier tick words like honor and glory and brotherhood somehow just doesnt resonate. Gedney ended his remarks with words from Winston Churchill from Churchills first address to the British House of Commons in 1940 as the newly appointed prime minister: You ask, What is our aim? I can answer with one word: Victory. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be. Why do I finish with that quote, Gedney asked. Well, to me, that sounds a lot like, No mission too difficult, no sacrifice too great.

Sustaining the plains

MANHATTAN An outpouring of research funds is helping a group of Kansas State University researchers study how human activity and climate change affect Central Great Plains water systems. The interdisciplinary group which includes more than eight researchers across three colleges and six departments has received a highly competitive three-year $1.4 million grant from the National Science Foundations Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems program. The project seeks to improve the sustainability of economically important agricultural systems, biologically significant aquatic ecosystems, urban population clusters and clean water supplies. Melinda Daniels an adjunct professor of geography at Kansas State University and associate research scientist at the Stroud Water Research Center in Pennsylvania is leading the project, which focuses on the Smoky Hill Watershed as a case study. The watershed extends from eastern Colorado to near Manhattan, where it joins the Kansas River.

Manhattan earns national recognition

MANHATTAN Great campus, great town. Thats what two new rankings show about Kansas State University and Manhattan. Business Insider, a leading business news and analysis website, has Kansas State University in its list of Top 20 best college campuses in the nation, while another ranking by Forbes magazine rates Manhattan as No. 3 in the nation for best small places for businesses and careers. The magazine credits Kansas State University students for helping shape the citys culture. One of the many advantages of deciding to study, teach and live in a classic college town like Manhattan and at K-State which happens to be two hours away from the states major cities -- is the basic fact you want to be here. You are here by choice, not by convenience, said Pat Bosco, vice president for student life and dean of students. This creates an incredible sense of ownership and pride among our entire K-State family. You can make a difference here. It seems like everyone is wearing purple and lots of people care.

1st Infantry Division Public Affairs

FORT RILEY At first, there was nothing going on from Tower Three, overlooking a police substation in Afghanistan. People could be seen walking. It was a clear night. But just as Sgt. Marcus Johnson, squad leader, 287th Military Police Company, 97th Military Police Battalion, bent down to tie his boot, the bomb went off, and everything changed. The next thing you know, I just see orange, and theres dust and like little pieces of wood hitting my face as Im flying back (out) of the tower, he said. That was the way Johnson described what happened to him March 22, 2012 the day his unit came under attack by a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device, followed by small arms fire in Afghanistan. Johnson was awarded a Purple Heart from Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, commanding general, 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley, in front of his 97th MP Bn. peers Aug. 23 at Fort Riley, for wounds he suffered during the attack in Afghanistan. On that date, it was Johnsons squads turn to do base defense while another squad went out to run missions, he recalled. Just as the other squad was about to leave for its mission, thats when Johnsons unit was attacked. The next thing Johnson knew, he was flying backwards out of the tower and landed on top of the roof of the police compound, he said. I laid there afterwards. I probably flew back about five feet. Theres like these little solar panels on the roof that stopped me from going over, he said.

Sundowners Lions Club car wash

The Junction City Sundowners Lions Club will hold a car wash in the parking lot of Waters True Value, 6th and Washington Streets on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 9 a.m. to noon. Monetary donations from this project will be used to help fund two $500 scholarships, one to a graduating senior from JCHS and another to a graduating senior from SXHS. For more information, please contact Lion Bill Semanko, chairperson, at 762-2812, or email him at wksemanko@cox.net.

Maj. Gen. Paul E. Funk II, commanding general, 1st Infantry Division and Fort Riley (left) pins on Sgt. Marcus Johnson, squad leader, 287th MP Co., 97th MP Bn., the Purple Heart Aug. 23 at Fort Riley. Johnson was injured March 22, 2012, during an insurgent attack in Afghanistan.
At first, Johnson said, he was in shock. He remembered feeling really dizzy, having a bad headache and feeling some ringing in his ears, he said. And, although he only had a scratch on his face from the wood, he said his entire body was in pain. I felt like I lost some part of my limbs or something. It was scary. At first, I felt like I was going to die, he said. After reassessing himself, Johnson said he was able to locate his platoon sergeant, and both soldiers tried to figure out what was happening. Thats when the unit started taking fire from insurgents, Johnson said, and both he and his platoon sergeant began engaging the insurgents back. I just remembered the training and reacted. All the stuff we trained on came back. I wanted to come back home (alive), he said. Following the fire fight, Johnson was transported to Camp Nathan Smith, where he was evaluated and then medically evacuated to Kandahar Airfield for further testing, he said. There, he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and remained at the Warrior Transition Battalion for about a week, before returning to full duty and completing his deployment. The unit redeployed to Fort Riley in January 2013. Johnson said he was relieved he received the Purple Heart. I have been kind of waiting on it because its been showing up on my (Enlisted Record Brief), he said. My old first sergeant, he tried to push it to where we could get it, but he wasnt able to, so I just waited patiently. I was happy I finally got it. After awarding Johnson the Purple Heart, Funk told the 97th MP Bn. soldiers the Army is a small place and it is all about people. Funk said Johnson has affected his life, revealing the Soldier taught his son how to play football during a Junction City High School football camp and also went to the same college as his wife, the University of Mary HardinBaylor, Belton, Texas, where Johnson played football for a coach who happens to be friends with the Funks. In addition to awarding Johnson the Purple Heart, Funk also presented Sgt. 1st Class Katherine Bingley, 287th MP Co., 97th MP Bn., with a commanders coin. Bingley was Johnsons platoon sergeant at the time of the attack in Afghanistan. Funk recognized her for supporting and helping Johnson through his injuries. Thats what it means to catch people doing things right, Funk told the soldiers, as he presented Bingley with the coin. You saw Sgt. (1st Class) Bingley come up and get a coin because she cared. She reached out. She made sure one of her warriors was getting back into the fight. Thats what this is about. The Armys about people.

University students help reduce nitrate levels

MANHATTAN Kansas State University students are helping protect the environment and reduce public health risks. Students across academic disciplines will monitor a two-acre site in Sylvan Grove in north central Kansas after former students cleaned nitrate contamination from soil and groundwater. They characterized the extent of contamination and developed remediation plans. Students in agronomy, biology, engineering, geography and geology joined forces as part of course projects in Water Resource Geochemistry. We found high levels of nitrate, which is commonly used in fertilizer, said Nathan Nelson, associate professor of agronomy. Nitrate supplies an essential nutrient nitrogen to plants and is important for food production, but too much nitrate in water can have an adverse effect on humans, animals and the environment. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause methemoglobinemia, a potentially fatal blood disorder in infants younger than six months. Commonly called blue baby syndrome, the disorder limits how much oxygen infants pass through their blood. Rain can leach nitrates from soil to groundwater. Its unclear how the Sylvan Grove site became contaminated. The site, which houses a grain elevator today, once stored dry and liquid fertilizer. Manure from local feed yards also produces nitrate, which can contaminate the groundwater. Students worked with environmental lawyer Chris Steincamp, a Kansas State University geology alumnus; landowners; and officials from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to characterize contamination on the site, identify potential sources of contamination and develop a plan to clean the site. Students followed the professional standards of a real government agency, said Saugata Datta, associate professor of geology. They worked with clients and state officials to complete a successful project in a limited amount of time. The rate of turnaround by our students was simply amazing during this exciting, hands-on experience. Geology students, under the direction of Datta, performed the latest water isotope analysis to track the possible sources of nitrates at the Sylvan Grove site. Students collected soil and groundwater samples, determining that the best method to clean the site would be through phytoremediation, which uses plants to remove contaminants and reduce their mobility. They recommended removal of the most highly contaminated soil for use as a fertilizer on nearby cropland. Native grasses and trees helped remove remaining nitrate. Students selected grass and tree species that need a lot of nitrogen and water, Nelson said. This protects the groundwater by removing nitrate and by reducing the amount of water that can leach nitrate out of the soil. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment approved a remediation alternative that students recently implemented. Its exciting to see the students ideas taking shape on the landscape and improve the Kansas environment, Nelson said. Its not often that students get to participate in a project that has such real impact. Nelson and Datta said they received positive reviews about the project from students. Students found the project difficult and complex because they had to work within real-world constraints, Nelson said, but they enjoyed the challenge and theyre often highlighting this experience on their resumes. They had an opportunity to show leadership, work together and get results. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Wichitabased law firm of Depew Gillen Rathbun & McInteer provided project and student support.

Frost dies at 74
Associated Press
LONDON David Frost sparred with Richard Nixon for hours, recording a series of interviews with the former president three years after he stepped down in disgrace over Watergate. But as the sessions drew to a close, Frost realized he still lacked something: an acknowledgement by Nixon that he had been wrong. Nixon had admitted making mistakes, but Frost put down his clipboard and pressed his subject on whether that was enough. Americans, he said, wanted to hear him own up to his

misdeeds and acknowledge abusing the power of the White House. Unless you say it, youre going to be haunted for the rest of your life, the British broadcaster told Nixon. What came next were some of the most extraordinary comments ever made by a politician on television. For Frost, who died Saturday, it was the signature moment of an television career that spanned half a century and included interviews with a long list of the worlds most powerful and famous, including virtually U.S. president of his time.

Official: 49 Tunisia prisoners break out of jail

TUNIS, Tunisia Dozens of Tunisian inmates staged a prison break in a southern coastal town after overpowering guards, a top corrections official said Monday. Police and soldiers searched the town of Gabes for the 49 inmates and succeeded in recapturing 32 of them, some of whom came back willingly, others who were returned by their families. The prison break occurred when guards went to investigate cries for help from a cell crammed with 68 inmates late Sunday, Col. Hicham Ouni, security director for Tunisias prisons, told The Associated Press. The prisoners said one of the inmates had been injured by a fan but when the guards opened the gate, they were rushed and their keys taken. Three guards were injured in the escape attempt. Ouni described the inmates

as mostly young people and common criminals and said that none were in prison for terrorist-related crimes. Inmates broke out of the same prison in 2011 during the uprising that overthrew Tunisias president and kicked off the Arab Spring. A total of 11,000 prisoners escaped during the uprising, though about 8,000 were recaptured. With a population of 10 million, Tunisia has around 22,000 prisoners, most held in cramped facilities and poor conditions. Some prisons are running at more than triple capacity.

Seven more people were killed and 15 wounded Monday in separate bouts of violence in Baghdad and another Iraqi city as the country reels from waves of sectarian attacks.

Anti-al-Qaida leader escapes assassination in Iraq

BAGHDAD A prominent militia leader opposed to al-Qaida escaped an assassination attempt in Baghdad Monday that killed six of his body guards and one civilian and wounded eight people, authorities said. And Tur-

Al-Hardan was recently appointed by the Iraqi prime minister to lead the Sunni militia known as Sahwa, which joined U.S. troops in the war against al-Qaida at the height of Iraq war. Ever since, it has been a target for Sunni insurgents who consider them traitors. Later in the day, a suicide bomber rammed his explosive-laden car into a security checkpoint near the city of Baqouba, killing four people and wounding 12, said police and hospital officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. Baqouba, a former al-Qaida stronghold, is 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad. In Mosul, the roadside bomb blew up near the convoy of the Turkish diplomat after he set out on a trip to the city of Irbil, a journey of about 80 kilometers (50 miles). There was no immediate claim of responsibility

for the bombing and officials did not say which vehicle in the convoy was damaged. Turkey and Iraq have tense relations because Turkey gave refuge to former Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi after the Sunni political leader was sentenced to death after being convicted of ordering assassinations of government officials and security forces. Turkey has also angered Iraqi central government officials by bypassing them to make energy deals with Kurdish authorities in their autonomous northern region. In southeastern Baghdad Monday, police gunmen using weapons fitted with silencers opened fire on a commercial street, killing two people and wounding three, said a police official who also spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the media. It was not immediately clear why the officers opened fire.

Another view CEO performance pay charade

B y S arah A nderson

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

f anyone still believes this country has a pay for performance system for corporate executives, its time to put the notion to rest. For more than two decades, corporations have gotten away with this sham at the expense of workers, shareholders and taxpayers. The good news: theres reason to hope that members of Congress could come together across the aisle to help end this charade by closing one loophole in the tax code. The pay for performance myth has been unraveling for years. Most of the myth-busting research has defined performance narrowly, as a matter of shareholder returns. A new report I co-authored for the Institute for Policy Studies uses a more dramatic performance yardstick. We looked at CEOs who should be the creme de la creme those who made the top 25 highest-paid lists in at least one of the past 20 years. We then identified how many of them had led firms that crashed or were bailed out in the 2008 crisis, how many had to pay massive fraud-related fines or settlements, and how many were fired. The result? Nearly 40 percent of the top-paid CEOs fell into one or more of these bailed out, booted, or busted categories. A few noteworthy examples: Four CEOs of financial firms that received some of the largest bailouts in 2008 have reappeared on the top 25 highest-paid lists since the crash. Pfizer CEO Hank McKinnell got the boot in 2006 after the drugmakers stock plunged 40 percent. He still jumped out of the escape hatch with a golden parachute worth nearly $200 million. Dialysis giant DaVita HealthCare has had to fork over more than $350 million over the past year to settle various fraud cases. Nevertheless, CEO Kent Thiry made the top 25 highest-paid list in 2012 with more than $26 million in total compensation. What can Congress do about any of this? They can begin by eliminating the loophole that allows corporations to deduct unlimited amounts off their income taxes for the expense of executive pay as long as it is in the form of stock options and other performance-based pay. At the time this provision was enacted in 1993, many believed that stock options would magically align the interests of executives and shareholders. In real corporate life, stock options encourage reckless behaviors designed to jack up share prices by whatever means necessary. During stock slumps, executives often receive boatloads of new options with lower exercise prices. For example, after the crash had driven Goldman Sachs shares to record lows in December 2008, the banks top executives received nearly 36 million stock options 10 times the previous years total. That positioned Goldman executives for massive new windfalls even if the banks share prices never regained 2007 levels. Nevertheless, our tax rules still allow corporations to lower their tax bills by paying their CEOs more. And the rest of us wind up making up the difference. Congresss Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that closing this loophole would generate $50 billion in revenue over 10 years. Over the years, leaders on both the left and the right have criticized the performance pay loophole. At a 2006 Senate Finance Committee hearing, then acting Chairman Chuck E. Grassley, an Iowa Republican, declared the relevant section of the tax code (162m) broken, with more holes than Swiss cheese. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox, a George W. Bush appointee, said it should be placed in the Museum of Unintended Consequences. In 2009, Republican senator John McCain cosponsored legislation that, among other goals, wouldve closed the performance pay loophole. Earlier this month, two Democratic senators Jack Reed and Richard Blumenthal revived the issue by introducing the Stop Subsidizing Multimillion Dollar Corporate Bonuses Act. The debates that are expected to rage this fall over corporate tax reform are an opportunity to build bipartisan support for ending this outrageous loophole. For too long, taxpayers have borne the burden of the pay for performance scam.

Arts still alive in Kansas?

martin hawver
Commentary istration puts out about the new commission reminds us of the Brownback perception of the role of arts in Kansas to strengthen the states economy and create good jobs. That eco-devo mantra probably sounds unfamiliar to parents of college kids studying arts who are likely to wind up living in their basement, but whod have thought that a little interpretative dance or oil on canvass would strengthen the states economy and create good jobs? Yes, there are dollars in arts. It is produced and bought and sold and is its own little industry because everyone needs a dab of art around the house, or a chance for one of those outof-body experiences looking at things, through the eyes of the artist, that most of us never noticed. Its touchy-feely, but theres a place for art in Kansas, real art, not just portraits of the Koch brothers on black velvet, or TV-trays with the John Brown mural printed on them. And, that new license plate, for just $50 extra, with the clever designation State of the Arts below the license number, well, it seems like a seller. Now, that doesnt mean that arts enthusiasts arent still after state money for cultivating the arts and exposure to the arts. The Arts Industries Commission is just testing its wings on being self-supporting, and there is a decent chance that the National Endowment for the Arts may determine future grants to the state based on local fund-raising efforts. But the tags and other fund-raising projects are just starting. It might be a pretty interesting little political show of support for state financing of the arts if thousands of Kansans decided to spiff up their cars with the distinctive license plates, indicating that there is broad support for arts, industrialized or not ... State of the Arts in Kansas? Its not certain yet ...

or all the gnashing of teeth and rending of what we assume were designer-label garments when then brand-new Gov. Sam Brownback said he was going to end state general fund financing of the Kansas Arts Commission ... well ... there are still arts in Kansas. You remember that just-after-theinauguration statement from Brownback that arts should support themselves with money that didnt come out of the state budget. Well, it appears that the arts can. It, of course, was easier when it was just $700,000 out of the State General Fund where the state puts our tax dollars, an amount so small in the overall budget that it was almost imperceptible. But a couple things including the Brownback/fiscal conservative crowd retooling the Arts Commission, which sounded like a white wine crowd, into the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission might just work. The Arts Industries Commission doesnt have a real artistic ring, does it? not only landed a $560,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts but is unveiling a distinctive license tag for statewide sale that will further help finance the arts in the state. And, maybe because of the new letterhead, nearly everything the admin-

Unforgiven? No
B y G eorge N. S huler

A local viewpoint
Special to The Daily Union

veryone has images of themselves we like to feel good about ourselves. As Dana Carveys Church Lady character said, We like ourselves. I know I do, much of the time. I mentioned in a previous column here how my wife was on the faculty of public schools for 31 years and how I would at time go with her to parties where most or all of the others were teacher and their spouses. During the 1980s we played the game Trivial Pursuit and I had to will myself to miss a third of the questions asked of me, because my near-photographic memory gave my team an unfair advantage. But there were times when I missed questions I thought I had right, too. Everybody needs humbling now and then. One fellow in town sure needs it. Thats the guy with the little yellow sedan whose back windshield proclaims him to be Unforgiven. At least I assume its a guy; I cant think of a woman being quite that full of it. The slogan would probably have its genesis in recent movies: there was a Clint Eastwood western called that Unforgiven and Al Pacinos Scarface. Tom Hanks and Paul Newman had a movie called Road to Perdition as Irish-American gangsters. Perhaps this fellow thinks of himself as George Clooney described him and his brother

(Quentin Tarrentino) , A couple of mean motorscooters in From Dusk to Dawn ... So the guess is the driver thinks hes a bad gluteus maximus. Unforgiven, one may ask, by whom? By his babymama he knocked up? Or by God? I am a Christian of the Mainline Protestant tradition and know Forgiveness is a central tenet of our faith. It is generally understood that all sins are forgivable by God, though some scripture cites Blasphemy, or attacking The Deity itself, as one unforgiveable sin. It is well-known that the serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer became an evangelical Christianity while in prison. Charles Colson, a political fixer who went to prison in the Watergate Scandal, formed a prison ministry himself which is still active after his death. But especially for Christians, no figure is more remarkable than that of St. Paul, who as Saul of Tarsus was essentially a mass-murdering bounty hunter of Christians who converted to Christianity on the road to Damascus. If that can be forgiven, its rather pretentious to assume some wannabe has actually committed something thats truly unforgiven, isnt it? What did he do, really? Double park in front of the Courthouse? Of course some argue, forgiveness has to be asked for, and thats valid. It may be that hes only unforgiven because hes too full of himself to ask for it. Unfortunately for Christians there

are some in our faith who delight in the supposed eternal damnation of those they hate, that for them the concept of Heaven is not that good without being able to look over the parapets at the poor schmucks burning in the Lake of Fire below. I saw a guy like that on TV a Baptist minister, no less being interviewed about the discovery of the bodies of the atheist Madalyn Murray OHair and her son and granddaughter, murdered by a follower who wanted their millions. They are burning in hell now, he smiled, his eyes twinkling. What a poor witness for Christ that was. And today the Westboro church of Topeka is everywhere with their signs about how you can go to hell for going to a Lady Gaga concert or reading Fifty Shades of Grey. Adam Hamilton of Church of the Resurrection in Leawood rejects such things, calling for Christian Inclusivism, as does the evangelist Rob Bell in Love Wins. My favorite though is the Presbyterian minister John Buchanan, who wrote on the death of the comedian George Carlin that Carlin didnt believe in God, but maybe God believes in him. And maybe also he believes in wannabes with silly slogans on their windshields.

Instead of chatty adolescents, there are students sitting quietly, headphones in, doing their school work on iPads. After completing his masters degree online and reading an article about a high school teacher who went paperless, Heide decided to make the jump himself. He eliminated paper last year and isnt turning back. Heide outlawed pen and paper in his classroom, but added headphones to the school supply list. Ive yet to have any complaints or any of my own personal hang-ups on why I wouldnt want to do this, he said. With carts of iPads shared throughout the school, a desktop lab next door, and a laptop lab across the hall, the opportunity for incorporating technology into the curriculum at Heides school are endless. Students arent allowed to take computers home, but any homework they have outside of the classroom is reading. With a lot of these kids living on farms or in rural areas where the strength of that internet signal cant be relied upon all the time, I dont ever want to penalize them for that kind of thing happening, Heide said. In the class, students essays, coursework and tests are done on iPads. Heide says not having stacks of essays piling up on his desk helps him keep organized.

Analysis: Process stirs angst in Kansas court debate

TOPEKA Gov. Sam Brownbacks critics have focused more on the process that led him to nominate his chief counsel to the Kansas Court of Appeals than on whether the nominee is qualified. The Kansas Senate expects to vote this week on Brownbacks appointment of Caleb Stegall to the states secondhighest court. Hes likely to win confirmation by a wide margin, barring a surprise revelation or huge misstep, because the governors fellow GOP conservatives hold a supermajority in the Senate. Stegall generally is expected to be a conservative voice on the court, but much of the criticism of his nomination has centered instead on Brownbacks refusal to release the names of other candidates. Critics argue that Kansans dont know whether Stegall was the best candidate available, as Brownback and his aides have asserted. And the governors critics still are protesting a law that took effect in July, changing how Court of Appeals judges are selected. Under the old system, still in place for Kansas Supreme Court seats, a nominating commission led by lawyers screened applicants and named three finalists, with no role for lawmakers after the governors appointment. Now, the governors office screens the candidates and he makes the appointment, subject to Senate confirmation. Conservative Republicans control of the Senate would automatically smooth the way for any Court of Appeals nominees confirmation. But a large vote in Stegalls favor seems even more certain because hes not being attacked directly. I think hes qualified, said Sen. David Haley, of Kansas City, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The question is the process. Brownback is calling the Legislature into special session Tuesday to fix a law allowing convicted murderers to be sentenced to at least 50 years in prison. Because lawmakers are meeting, the Senate is legally obligated to consider pending appointments, and its Judiciary Committee has scheduled Stegalls confirmation hearing for Tuesday. The full Senate expects to vote on his nomination Wednesday.

Stegall, 41, served two years as Jefferson Countys elected prosecutor before joining Brownbacks staff when the governor took office in January 2011. He also was an attorney in private practice, best known for defending four Americans detained in Haiti after trying to remove 33 children who they believed had been orphaned in its 2010 earthquake. It was later determined that the children had parents, but Stegalls clients returned to the U.S. without facing charges. He graduated third in his law school class at the University of Kansas in 1999, later serving as a clerk for then-Chief Judge Deanell Tacha of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. He was an attorney in the states largest private law firm for four years before opening his own office outside Lawrence in 2005. Tacha and a bipartisan group of attorneys wrote recommendation letters for Stegall. This process should be focused on whether a person is qualified to be a judge, said Judiciary Committee Chairman Jeff King, an Independence Republican. Yet Stegalls status as a top aide to Brownback is an opening for his critics to question Stegalls elevation to a new appeals-court judgeship created this year. Before the selection process changed, Stegall applied for two Court of Appeals vacancies in 2012, and each time, the nominating commission passed him over. During a public interview with Stegall in November, commission members focused on his experience, with one noting that some applicants had been lawyers twice as long. House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat whos now considering a run for governor, had called Stegall well-qualified for the appeals court. Still, last week, Davis said, It doesnt instill confidence in the process when the governor picks his own lawyer. When the nominating commission screened Court of Appeals applicants, it disclosed the names of all candidates, though its deliberations on which candidates became finalists were closed. Brownback argued that releasing the names of all candidates for the new position would discourage some qualified applicants. Also, his refusal to disclose the names was in keeping with how governors traditionally have handled major appointments. This process requires the governors nominee to stand

in front of the public and the Senate to answer questions, said Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley. This is not something that occurred under the old system, and I do not understand how people can claim this is not a transparent, open, public process. Sen. Jeff Longbine, an Emporia Republican who supported changing the judicial selection process, said the first appointment under the new law did not go as smoothly as some of us would have wanted. He cited Brownbacks refusal to release names of other candidates and Stegalls nomination just two weeks before the start of the special session. But Longbine also said Stegall appears to be a very good attorney. Leave the politics out of it, because whether we agree with the selection process or not, that decision has been made, Longbine said. The decision for the Senate is: Is he qualified for that position?

Pittsburg reporter honored for arts coverage

PITTSBURG In Pittsburg, the night of dress rehearsal in local community theaters are simply known as Nikki Nights. Thats the night when, for the past 46 years, Pittsburg Morning Sun reporter Nikki Patrick visits to watch the production and write a review. The Morning Sun reports Patrick was asked back this past week for the opening of Steel Magnolias at the citys Memorial Auditorium for special recognition. It was chance for the community and the Pittsburg Community Theater to bestow honors on Patrick for her support of the arts in southeast Kansas. Monica Murnan, a member of the Pittsburg city council, proclaimed Aug. 28, 2013, as Nikki Patrick Day in Pittsburg.

We have this plaque that will be installed outside the green room and it says, In heartfelt appreciation of your dedication and support to performing arts in Southeast Kansas, Huffman said. Patrick and her husband, Steven Teller, met when he taught a seminar on the works of playwrights Marlowe and Jonson. Patrick and Tellers first date was a televised production of The Duchess of Malfi. Patrick took their son, Jamie, to his first play when he was 10 days old. To be honored for doing something I enjoy so much, you might as well honor me for eating chocolate, Patrick said. Andrew Nash, managing editor of The Morning Sun, said the honor for Patrick was fitting and appropriate. Nikki has given everyone, from the smallest children to the grandest stars, an ear to listen, a place to share their story and a pen ready to write, Nash said. Her devotion to the arts has been apparent throughout the years. It is fitting to see the green room be renamed in her honor, as she has always made anyone who takes the stage feel honored and welcome.

Police Chief Robert Lee says Charles Alfred Beck is a suspect in the attack on the teen and a person of interest in the mothers death. No charges have been filed. Another child in the home called 911 around 10 a.m. Sunday to report a disturbance. The mother and son were rushed to a hospital, where the mother was pronounced dead and the teen was being treated for serious neck wounds. Lee didnt release their names. He says an autopsy will be performed Tuesday to determine how the mother died. Beck was living with the family. Lee says he should be considered armed and dangerous. He was last driving a white Dodge Caravan.

Police looking for suspect in deputy shooting

WICHITA Authorities are searching for a man who they say shot and wounded a Butler County Sheriffs deputy early Monday morning. Police say the suspect is 41-year-old Jan Tracy Kilbourne. Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet told KWCH that a deputy pulled over a car around 5 a.m. on U.S. Highway 54, about 16 miles east of Wichita. Herzet said the deputy ran a warrant check on the three people inside and returned to the car when one of the passengers got out and fired at the deputy, striking him in the shoulder. He said the deputy returned fire and hit the man, who ran off afterward. The Wichita Eagle reported the deputy was treated and released from a hospital. His name hasnt been released. The other two people are in custody.

Kansas special session raises new sentencing issues

Associated Press
TOPEKA Kansas legislators plan to make quick work of fixing the states Hard 50 criminal sentencing law during the special session that begins Tuesday, but their discussions ahead of the opening gavels have raised other issues about punishing murderers. Lawmakers from both parties see widespread agreement on legislation to rewrite the law allowing defendants convicted of premeditated, first-degree murder to be sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 50 years. A U.S. Supreme Court decision in June raised questions about the laws constitutionality. A joint legislative committee already has tinkered with a proposal for fixing the law from Attorney General Derek Schmidt, and legislative leaders hope the final version of the measure will pass by Wednesday evening. The issue is relatively simple: Having juries weigh evidence on whether the Hard 50 should be imposed, rather than trial court judges, as is the case now. But in working on a quick fix last week, legislators already were pondering whether a repaired Hard 50 law is tough enough, particularly after they boosted penalties for violent sex offenses and other crimes such as human trafficking in recent years. That, in turn, is likely to spur debate about the Kansas death penalty law, which was enacted in 1994 but so far has resulted in no executions. Anytime you look at a sentencing provision in the law, its bound to generate a discussion about whether that sentence and other parts of our sentencing guidelines are reflective of the appropriate punishment, said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat. Legislative leaders want to avoid a broader debate over criminal sentencing until lawmakers convene their next regular, annual session in January. When Republican Gov. Sam Brownback scheduled the Legislatures special session last month, his proclamation called for lawmakers to finish their work by Thursday. Each day costs taxpayers about $40,000. Because lawmakers are in session, the Senate is legally obligated to consider pending appointments, including Brownbacks nomination of his chief counsel, Caleb Stegall, to the state Court of Appeals. Democrats in each chamber also want to soften a state law requiring new voters to provide proof of their U.S. citizenship when they register, but the effort isnt likely to get far because the policy was backed by GOP conservatives now in control. Meanwhile, the Hard 50 fix is generating little controversy, except for skepticism among defense attorneys that the changes can be applied retroactively to cases in which defendants are awaiting trial or have sentences on appeal. That issue probably will be settled ultimately by the Kansas Supreme Court, but lawmakers generally dont want defendants in pending cases to get the alternative sentence, life in prison with parole eligibility in 25 years. As far as I know, theres universal agreement, said Senate Majority Leader Terry Bruce, a Hutchinson Republican.

Nyad 1st to swim to Florida from Cuba without cage

Associated Press
KEY WEST, Fla. Looking dazed and sunburned, U.S. endurance swimmer Diana Nyad walked ashore Monday, becoming the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the help of a shark cage. The 64-year-old Nyad swam up to the beach just before 1 p.m. about 53 hours after starting her journey from Havana on Saturday. As she approached, spectators waded into waist-high water and surrounded her, taking pictures and cheering her on. I have three messages. One is, we should never, ever give up. Two is, youre never too old to chase your dream. Three is, it looks like a solitary sport, but it is a team, she said on the beach. I have to say, Im a little bit out of it right now, Nyad said. She gestured toward her swollen lips, and simply said seawater. Her team said she had been slurring her words while out in the water. She was placed on a stretcher on the beach and received an IV before she was taken by ambulance to a hospital. But her doctor later declared her essentially healthy and expected her to recover quickly from dehydration, swelling and sunburn. I just wanted to get out of the sun, she said after coming ashore on a scorching, sunny day amid calm seas. It was Nyads fifth attempt and what she had said would be her last try to complete the approximately 110-mile swim. She tried three times in 2011 and 2012. Her first attempt was in 1978. Its historic, marvelous, said Jose Miguel Diaz Escrich, the Hemingway Marina commodore who helped organize the Cuba side of Nyads multiple attempts. I always thought she could do it given her internal energy, her mental and physical strength, her will of iron, said Diaz Escrich, whom Nyad has called a longtime friend. More than the athletic feat, she wants to send a message of peace, love, friendship and happiness ... between the people of the United States and Cuba, he added. President Barack Obama was among a flurry of public officials and celebrities who tweeted congratulations. The presidents tweet read: Never give up on your dreams. Nyads previous try was cut short amid boat trouble, storms, unfavorable currents and jellyfish stings that left her face puffy and swollen. This time, she wore a full bodysuit, gloves, booties and a mask at night, when jellyfish rise to the surface. The new silicone mask caused bruises inside her mouth, making it difficult for her to speak, she told her team as she neared land. Doctors traveling with Nyad had been worried about her slurred speech and her breathing, but didnt intervene, according to Nyads website. She was incredible to watch the whole way through, said one of her doctors, Derek Covington, speaking with The Associ-

Endurance swimmer Diana Nyad, right, and her trainer, Bonnie Stoll hug after Nyad walked ashore Monday.
ated Press afterward. Covington said Nyad was given IV fluids on her arrival to combat dehydration and was resting and being checked out at a medical center as a precaution. Although she had some swelling of the lips, tongue and the airway near the mouth, Nyad wouldnt need a long recovery, the doctor said, calling her stable and very healthy. Nyad jumped from the seawall of the Hemingway Marina into the warm waters off Havana Saturday morning to begin swimming. She paused occasionally for nourishment, but never left the water. The support team accompanying her had equipment that generated a faint electrical field around her, designed to keep sharks at bay. A boat also dragged a line in the water to help keep her on course. Sumaya Haddin, of Miami, had been tracking Nyads swim before her familys weekend trip to Key West. She was surprised to see Nyads flotilla from a parasail off Smathers Beach on Monday morning, thinking she wouldnt arrive for another day. You couldnt see her, you could just see the boats. It was very exciting, she said. Haddin said Nyad still had her fighting spirit when she arrived: Getting into the ambulance, she had her peace sign up, her fist up. She was still fired up. Australian Susie Maroney successfully swam the Strait in 1997 with a shark cage, which besides protection from the predators, has a drafting effect that pulls a swimmer along. In 2012, Australian Penny Palfrey swam 79 miles toward Florida without a cage before strong currents forced her to stop. This June, her countrywoman Chloe McCardel made it 11 hours and 14 miles before jellyfish stings ended her bid. In 1978, Walter Poenisch,

Associated Press

an Ohio baker, claimed to have made the swim using flippers and a snorkel. Critics say there was insufficient independent documentation to verify his claim. Nyad frist garnered national attention in 1975 when she swam the 28 miles around the island of Manhattan in just under eight hours. In 1979 she swam the 102 miles from North Bimini, Bahamas, to Juno Beach, Fla., in 27.5 hours. Nyad is also an author of three books, a motivational speaker and has been a reporter and commentator for NPR.

Former animal shelter director arrested

B y D aily U nion S taf f

m.editor@thedailyunion.net
Former Junction CityGeary County Animal Shelter Director Lisa Junghans was arrested on a Geary

County District Court warrant for felony theft late Friday afternoon. On Monday, Junction City Police Chief Tim Brown confirmed Junghans was booked into the

Geary County Detention Center at about 5:25 p.m. Friday. Bond was set at $5,000. She bonded out prior to 7 p.m., Brown said. Junghans resigned as

shelter director on July 9 without an explanation for her decision. She had worked at the shelter since 2006. Forshia Poole, who has worked at the shelter since

2007, was named interim director until a permanent replacement is found. Brown declined to comment further on details about the warrant or the felony theft charge, referdoesnt believe allowing his birds to be kept on his property would be an issue. Owners must have permits, but Johnson said the process of obtaining one is time-consuming. Most all birds of prey are protected by some law, so you have to get a permit, Johnson said. You have to be an apprentice for a number of years, you have to take a test. Facilities where the birds are kept also are inspected, Johnson said. In short, falconry isnt a hobby someone picks up over night. Ive been hunting with them (falcons and hawks) since I was in junior high school, Johnson said. Ive bred endangered species, like peregrine falcons, and

ring other questions to the Geary County Attorneys Office, which was closed on Monday for Labor Day. As of Monday, Junghans hadnt yet made a first appearance in court. released them into the wild. Commissioners arent expected to take action on the new code or possible adjustments. Other changes include charging the city treasurer with the collection of dog, cat and ferret tags rather than vet clinics and the Junction City-Geary County Animal Shelter. The auditors and I felt that there was no tracking system in place sufficient for the proper care of taxpayer funds, interim Cheryl Beatty stated in a memo to city commissioners. Therefore, this will be a new revenue source in the 2014 and future budgets.

sitting very nicely, Cole said. However, civilian employees likely have taken the biggest hit due to recent cuts. Fort Riley is a driving economic force in Junction City and Geary County. The soldiers and their families add to the areas population and the post employs about 2,400 civilians. Civilian employee rolls are drawing down numbers and there have been significant reductions, Cole said. This is just a reality we have to deal with. In August, the Pentagon moved to lessen the burden on civilian employees by cutting the number of mandatory, unpaid furloughs from 11 days to six days. Were really hoping that there will not be any further requirement for us furloughing our civilian employees, Cole said.

Scott Stuckey, a board member for the chamber and the Governors Military Council, said the community can help Fort Riley when it comes to budget cuts. One thing they really also need from us is legislative help on the national level so that all the gains that theyve gained in family programs that affects soldiers and their families, as well as their training and preparation gets (supported), Stuckey said. To help the community, Cole said Fort Riley now can start looking into increased partnerships. We are now allowed to do more in intergovernmental cooperation and support, such as equipment sharing and combined training exercises, he said. Chamber CEO Tom Weigand said Junction City will continue to support the troops in its community and at Fort Riley. Were a green town, he said. You see green everywhere. This town loves its soldiers and, hopefully, the soldiers love us.

hes been breeding and hunting with birds of prey, or raptors, for about 40 years. Johnson previously had kept his birds outside the city in Geary County. I just wanted to make sure a provision was made where I was grandfathered in, Johnson said. Junction Citys current code allows residents to keep as pets domesticated birds, such as parrots, parakeets, cockatoos and canaries. Since owning birds of prey is highly regulated on both the state and federal levels, Johnson said he

Obama

of Minnesota reflected a view shared by others: I want you to know that I am vehemently opposed to a military strike that would clearly be an act of war against Syria, especially under such tragic yet confusing circumstances as to who is responsible for the use of chemical weapons. After changing course and deciding to seek congressional approval for military action, Obama is confronted with one of his most difficult foreign policy tests and faces a Congress divided over an unavoidably tough vote-of-conscience on overseas conflict rather than the more customary partisan fights over domestic policy. My impression is that a lot of people are up for grabs, McCain said. Following months of rejecting direct intervention in Syria, Obama and his aides now want to strike at the Assad regime in response to a reported chemical attack that the Obama administration says was carried out by Assads military. The administration says more than 1,400 people were killed, including more than 400 children. Obama was trying to find a middle ground that would attract a majority in the House and the Senate a difficult task complicated further because Obama is leaving for a three-day trip to Europe Tuesday night, visiting Stockholm, Sweden, and then attending an economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. The visit is all the more significant because Russia has sided with the Syrian regime. Russias foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, said Monday the information the U.S. showed Moscow to prove the Syrian regime was behind the chemical attack was absolutely unconvincing. In a daring move, Russian President Vladimir Putin was considering send-

ing a delegation of Russian lawmakers to the United States to discuss the situation in Syria with members of Congress, the Interfax news agency reported Monday. The White House is engaging in what officials call a flood-the-zone persuasion strategy with Congress, arguing that failure to act against Assad would weaken any deterrence against the use of chemical weapons and could embolden not only Assad but also Iran and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. Obama has stressed that whatever action he takes, it will not result in placing American troops on the ground in Syria. On Tuesday afternoon, Secretary of State John Kerry, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, are scheduled to testify publicly before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Earlier Tuesday, other members of the administrations national security and intelligence teams were to hold a classified, closed-door briefing for all members of Congress. A similar session was held Sunday and more will be held Thursday and Friday. Kerry will also testify Wednesday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Kerry and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper will hold a classified briefing Wednesday with members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Members of the House Democratic caucus participated in an unclassified conference call Monday with Obama national security adviser Susan Rice, Kerry, Hagel, Clapper and Dempsey. Following their white House meeting, McCain and Graham, who often speak in unison on foreign policy matters, said they were more inclined to back Obamas call for military action against Syria if it helps destroy the regimes missile launching capabili-

ties and if the U.S. commits to provide more assistance to Syrian opposition forces. A degrading strike limited in scope could have a beneficial effect to the battlefield momentum, Graham said. There will never be a political settlement in Syria as long as Assad is winning. McCain, who was the Republican presidential nominee in 2008 and lost to Obama, said Obama clearly was asking for his help in rounding up votes. I dont think he called us over because were old campaign pals, he joked. A senior state department official said Kerry called Syrian rebel commander Salim Idris on Monday discuss Obamas decision to seek congressional authority and to express confidence that U.S. military action would hold Assad accountable for the use of chemical weapons, deter his behavior and degrade the regimes ability to carry out such attacks. He also stressed the need for a strong and unified moderate opposition. As recently as Saturday, McCain and Graham issued a joint statement saying they could not support isolated military strikes that were not part of a broader strategy to change the momentum of the civil war and result in Assads removal from power. After Mondays meeting, McCain said: Now we are talking about ways of approaching this issue in a way that could be effective. Weve got to see more, but at least they are talking about some options that I think could work. Asked whether Obama would expand his targets in Syria, McCain alluded to the Navys decision to place two aircraft carriers in the Arabian Sea. The USS Truman arrived in the region to take the place of the USS Nimitz, which was supposed to head home. But the Navy ordered the Nimitz to stay for now.

The final North Dakota State drive embodied every aspect of what went wrong for Kansas State in its season-opening loss Friday night. The Bison effectively maneuvered down the field, eating up the clock and converting on third downs on a 18-play drive that lasted 8:30. It was in strict contrast to how the Wildcats offense performed in the game. While North Dakota seemed to rip off long drive after long drive, Kansas State couldnt keep its offense on the field. We had some possession time issues, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said at the weekly Big 12 teleconference Monday. Weve got to get some stops on defense and we have to hold onto the ball a little bit longer. We had some third downs and fourth downs where we were not very adept at. Against the Bison, the Wildcats had just one drive where they ran a double-digit amount of plays. It was a 10-play, 31-yard drive that ended with a punt. The two longest drives both benefited from long touchdown passes. The offense was a far cry from the one seen last year when Colin Klein routinely led the Wildcats down the field, churning out first downs while eating up the clock. It didnt help that John Hubert couldnt get the Wildcat ground attack going. I thought weve always had concerns about being physical up front and we werent as physical as we need to be on both sides of the ball up front, Snyder said. That severely limited the offense, setting up many three and outs. Kansas State converted just two third downs all game. Defensively, instead of imposing their will on the offense, the Wildcats couldnt get off the field. North Dakota State converted all four of its third down attempts on the final drive and 10 of 17 all night. Snyder said with last years leaders gone, hes looking to see who will step up to fill the void. They need to come together and something has to be done within, He said. And theyre very capable, its not as if they dont have the ability to do some of these things, they certainly do and they need to Please see Snyder

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Felix Hernandez has a losing streak and a bad back. Hernandez lost his fourth straight start, the first time that has happened since 2008, as the Kansas City Royals beat the Seattle ace 3-1 on Monday. Hernandez (12-9) left in the seventh inning with lower back cramps, although the condition is not expected to be serious. The right-hander was led off the mound by

Mariners manager Eric Wedge and trainer Rick Griffin after his third pitch to Alex Gordon with two outs. Hernandez threw 105 pitches overall. The second pitch to Gordon I felt it cramping, Hernandez said. Its just a cramp. Itll be OK. Hernandez has a 7.84 ERA during his losing streak, and is 1-5 with a 6.42 ERA in his past six starts.

Chiefs continue roster overhaul with the waiver wire

KANSAS CITY, Mo. General manager John Dorsey huddled with the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs personnel department long into the night, evaluating just about every player that had been waived by rival teams. Hundreds of them had just reached the market, and by having the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft, the Chiefs had the priority in claiming any of them. So it was up to Dorsey and his trusted lieutenants to evaluate each of them in mere hours, and then snag the ones they wanted for the roster. The result was seven new players joining the Chiefs on Monday, all trying frantically to get up to speed even as the rest of the team prepared for their season opener Sunday at Jacksonville. The first year, Dorsey said, sometimes this is what you have to do to move

Of the 53 players who reported to practice, 30 of them werent a part of the 2-14 debacle that landed the Chiefs the top pick in the draft and the luxury of waiver-wire priority.

than he has in recent starts, holding them to six singles and three runs. All his stuff was good, Mariners catcher Mike Zunino said. He did a good job mixing his pitches up and used all four pitches today. He was good. Hernandez fanned the side in the first and finished with six strikeouts, bringing his season total to 200. It is his fifth consecutive 200-strikeout season, which matches Randy Johnsons club record from, 1991-95. Felix had outstanding stuff, Royals manager Ned Yost said. He really was on top of his game. Will Smith (2-1) pitched 4 1-3 innings of scoreless relief to pick up the victory, allowing just one hit, after starter Danny Duffy failed to make it through four innings. Five of Smiths strikeouts took only three pitches. Greg Holland pitched a one-hit ninth for his 37th save in 39 opportunities. The Royals broke a 1-all tie with a two-run fifth, which Jarrod Dyson led off with an infield single and advanced to third on Alcides Escobars hit-andrun single to right. Dyson scored on Hernandezs wild pitch and Escobar scored on Emilio Bonifacios sacrifice fly. Duffy, who had elbow surgery last year, departed after 3 2-3 innings and 91 pitches. Duffy allowed one run on five hits and four walks, while striking out four before being replaced by Will Smith. Brad Millers two-out triple in the fourth scored Abraham Almonte, who had doubled. Hernandez, however, could not hold the lead. He gave up three consecutive hits with one out in the fourth with Mike Moustakas single bringing home Eric Hosmer. It was tough luck, Her-

nandez said. A lot of groundballs to the outfield. It happens. I commanded the fastball better. Duffy threw 68 pitches in the first three innings and stranded six runners. He struck out Kendrys Morales and Justin Smoak swinging to end the first with two runners on base. Michael Saunders led off the second with a bunt single and Duffy walked Zunino on nine pitches before retiring the next three batters. The Mariners went 1-for11 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10 runners. NOTES: Seagers three hits marked his 36th multihit game. He tops the Mariners with 147 hits. ... Miller extended his hitting streak to six games. He had a .375 average in that stretch. His six triples tops AL rookies. ... Zunino was activated from the disabled list after five rehab games with TripleA Tacoma. He went on the disabled list July 26 with a broken left wrist. ... RHP Erasmo Ramirez will be added to the Mariners roster Tuesday and start against the Royals. This will be his 10th Seattle start this season and 17th career start.

Jets sign Brady Quinn to add depth to Quarterback spot

B y DENNIS WASZAK J r.

Associated Press
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Brady Quinn is the newest member of the New York Jets quarterback carousel. The Jets signed the veteran Monday to give them an experienced backup behind rookie Geno Smith, who appears likely to start the season opener against Tampa Bay on Sunday. Quinn, a first-round draft pick of Cleveland in 2007, was cut by Seattle on Saturday. His signing also clouds the future of Mark Sanchez, who is sidelined with a shoulder injury and could miss at least the first few weeks of the season. Quinn was on the field at practice with the other quarterbacks, while Sanchez was off to the side on a stationary bike during the 30-minute window the media were allowed to watch. Its a great opportunity, Quinn said. The Jets are a historic organization. I think just to be able to work with a guy like (QBs coach) David Lee and coach (Marty) Mornhinweg, is a great opportunity for me. Sanchez appeared in good shape to win the starting job over Smith, the teams second-round pick, until he took a hard hit to his right shoulder from the Giants Marvin Austin late in the fourth quarter of the third preseason game. The Jets have said only that Sanchez is day to day, but Quinns arrival could indicate that there are concerns about Sanchezs short-term availability. The move could also be insurance for Smith, who had an up-and-down preseason and showed he was still quite raw. It was just an opportunity for us to get a good football player, coach Rex Ryan said. Quinn said he wasnt sure what his role with the Jets

will be, but added that he wasnt told anything definitively about the status of Sanchez or who would be starting the season opener. The Jets also cut recently signed quarterback Graham Harrell, and released quarterback Greg McElroy with an injury settlement. McElroy, dealing with a knee injury, had cleared waivers and reverted to the teams injured reserve list. The only other quarterback on the team is the inexperienced Matt Simms, who had a terrific preseason but has never thrown a pass in a regular-season NFL game. Quinn was once considered the quarterback of the future for the Browns, but has bounced around the league while never living up to those expectations. He has 12 touchdowns and 17 interceptions in six seasons with the Browns, Broncos and Chiefs. He was expected to be a top-10 pick in 2007, but slid to No. 22 and dealt with injuries and inconsistency during his time with the Browns. Quinn was traded to Denver in 2010, but never played in any games for the Broncos. He signed with Kansas City as a free agent before last season and appeared in 10 games, including a two-touchdown performance in a win against Carolina on Dec. 3. I think its like anything else in life, Quinn said. Im extremely blessed to have the opportunities Ive had. For anyone who feels that it hasnt gone the way its supposed to, I just feel blessed to have the opportunity. ... It hasnt gone the dream way that you envision, but Im still playing and still doing what I love to do.

No rematch in sight for in-state rivals Florida, Miami

B y MARK LONG

SPORTS

Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. The FloridaMiami series has provided memorable moments, tantalizing trash talk and enough football fodder to maintain bitterness for decades. Good thing, too, because after Saturdays game between the 10th-ranked Gators and the Hurricanes in Miami, the in-state rivals might not play each other for a while at least not in the regular season. You never say never, but its really, really difficult, Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said Monday. Foley pointed to the potential of the Southeastern Conference moving to a ninegame league schedule as well as lost revenue from a home-and-home series. People dont want to hear this, but its the fact of the matter, he said. When you take a home game out of here, it cost you significant dollars. ... You cant do that every other year and try to run a sports program at the level were trying to run it. I think everybody thinks thats not a big deal. Well, its a big deal. Florida set aside $700,000 over the last four years to offset the loss of a home game in 2013, Foley said. The best chance the series has of being renewed aside from a bowl game would be as a neutral-site venture, Foley said. Maybe thats what the future holds somewhere down the road, he said. Obviously, I wont be making this decision forever. I just think its very hard for the University of Florida to play this game. Were excited to go down there. Obviously, a great rivalry, great history, great tradition, but its just a difficult game to play on any kind of consistent basis.

Even on an inconsistent basis, Florida and Miami has been one to watch. The rivalry began in 1938 and continued annually until Florida dropped Miami in 1988 because the Gators wanted to play a more national schedule. Florida promptly replaced the Hurricanes with Montana State. Miami fans said the Gators were pulling out because the Hurricanes were dominating them on field and on the national scene. After a 13-year hiatus, Florida and Miami renewed the rivalry in the 2001 Sugar

Bowl. Just a few nights before Miamis 37-20 win, a handful of players from both teams most notably Miamis Bryant McKinnie and Floridas Alex Brown mixed it up on Bourbon Street. That was just the latest in a long list of heated moments for these teams. There was the Florida Flop in 1971, when Florida defenders literally dropped to the ground and let the Hurricanes score, allowing the Gators to get the ball back and quarterback John Reaves to break Jim Plunketts record for NCAA career passing yards. There was the peach pelting in 1980, when Florida fans angry that the Gators trailed Miami 28-7 late in Gainesville threw peaches at the Hurricanes, who were headed to the Peach Bowl. Miami coach Howard Schnellenberger was so furious he ordered a field goal to add to the final margin. The Bourbon Street Brawl intensified the angst two decades later, and it grew even more with the most recent meeting five years ago. Leading 23-3 with 1:56 to play in Gainesville, coach Urban Meyer could have called for a few kneel-downs and started celebrating Floridas first win in the series since 1985. Instead, he had Tim Tebow throwing. Tebow even took a shot at the end zone before the Gators settled for a 29-yard field goal with 25 seconds remaining. The Hurricanes said Meyer was running up the score. Sometimes when you do things, and people see the type of person that you really are, you turn a lot of people off, Miami coach Randy Shannon said after the game. I wont say more than that, but it helped us. It helped us more than you will ever know. Former Hurricanes and NFL star War-

Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel scrambles for yardage as he gets around Toledo defensive end Jayrone Elliott Saturday in Gainesville, Fla.
ren Sapp was less diplomatic, calling Meyer a classless dirtbag. No doubt the Hurricanes and their fans are eager for the rematch, which is the first in Sun Life stadium and features an extra 1,314 seats. We cant barricade ourselves in from all the excitement thats in South Florida right now that surrounds this game, Hurricanes coach Al Golden said. But its really important for us to be mature and focused and draw on some of our experience from last year. Miami officials have said theres been no willingness from the Gators to talk about scheduling more games. Florida fans might not be so eager. Theyre already upset about having only about 900 tickets (out of a 12,500 allotment) in the lower bowl at Sun Life. If the series does continue, Golden would welcome it. I dont think theres any question, he said. Were going to play those types of games with Nebraska coming up and Notre Dame coming up. It has great significance in the state, so I would be for it, for sure.

NEW YORK Roger Federer lost in the fourth round of the U.S. Open for the first time in a decade, surprisingly beaten 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-4 by 19thseeded Tommy Robredo of Spain. Monday nights result caps a rough Grand Slam season for Federer, who owns a record 17 major championships, including five at Flushing Meadows. He exited in the semifinals at the Australian Open in January, the quarterfinals at the French Open in early June, and the second round of Wimbledon against a player ranked 116th, to boot in late June. That ended Federers record run of reaching at least the quarterfinals at 36 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments. Now, thanks to Robredo, Federer has a new, unwanted streak: Two consecutive losses before the quarterfinals at majors. Roberta Vinci will face a fellow Italian in the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the second straight year. In a testament to the depth among Italys womens tennis players, the 10th-seeded Vinci will also be taking on a countrywoman for the third straight round at this years tournament. She and longtime friend Flavia Pennetta both won Monday. We try to motivate everyone, Pennetta said. Its really nice because always we make a good result, almost always. On a day when experience trumped youth, three 30-something women beat opponents in their early 20s. Vinci defeated Camila Giorgi 6-4, 6-2 in 67 minutes. Moments later, rain started pouring down, stopping all matches at Flushing Meadows for 4 1/2 hours. The delay couldnt have come at a better time for Pennetta, who returned

Roger Federer, of Switzerland, returns a shot to Tommy Robredo, of Spain, during the fourth round of the 2013 U.S. Open tennis tournament, Monday, in New York.
to the court to seize momentum and clinch a 6-2, 7-6 (3) victory over 21stseeded Simona Halep. American wild card Alison Riske forced a third set against Daniela Hantuchova, but the Slovakian veteran pulled away for a 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 victory. Halep had set point on her serve, trying to send the match to the third, when the skies opened up to her dismay. Once they resumed play, Pennetta pounced on a second serve to set up a big forehand that erased the set point. After that I was very nervous and I lost the game very fast, Halep said. Pennetta won the next two points on short rallies to even the second set at 5-5. Halep promptly broke again, but she couldnt serve out the set this time, either. Then the 31-year-old Pennetta dominated the tiebreaker against a disheartened Halep. The 21-year-old Romanian was still thrilled to make her first career Grand Slam round of 16. Pennetta is in the U.S. Open quarters for the fourth time. But this one is sweet, because she missed last years tournament with a right wrist injury that explains why her ranking has slipped to 83rd. Was not easy, I can tell you, Pennetta said of coming back from surgery. I cry a lot, yeah. But I love this sport. Vinci had never made a Grand Slam quarterfinal before this tournament a year ago, when she was 29. Now Vinci has done it in consecutive U.S. Open trips. She lost to another countrywoman, doubles partner Sara Errani, in the quarters in 2012. Its obvious that Im not young. Im 30. But it can be a strength, because I have a lot of experience, Vinci said. Against a player like Camila, who is very young, it can be an advantage for me and I think it was on the court today. Errani, the top-ranked Italian woman, was upset by Pennetta in the second round this year while seeded fourth. No matter, the country will still have a representative in the womens semifinals for the second straight time. Before last year, that hadnt happened once in the Open era, which began in 1968. Giorgi, a 136th-ranked qualifier, was trying to reach her first major quarterfinal at age 21. In her thirdround upset of sixth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki, she crushed the ball on point after point, with 46 winners and 45 unforced errors. She jumped to a 4-1 lead in the first set Monday, but Vinci stayed poised and patient. Vinci, who had never faced the younger Italian before, started attacking her forehand, and Giorgis mistakes mounted. She finished with 35 unforced errors to 20 winners. The problem wasnt the opponent, Giorgi said. The problem is that I wasnt myself on court today. Vinci is one of only two players seeded in the top 10 left in her half of the draw, along with No. 2 Victoria Azarenka. The 23-year-old Riske was 0-5 in Grand Slam matches heading into this summer. Then she made the third round at Wimbledon and the fourth at the U.S. Open.

Rejuvenated Donovan readies for USMNT qualifiers

Associated Press
MIAMI Landon Donovan is rested and ready for the United States return to World Cup qualifying. The USAs career leading goal scorer didnt play in the first six matches of the CONCACAF final qualifying phase, taking time off from soccer to clear his head. When he returned to the US team, he looked as good as he ever has. I feel like a youngster, Donovan said before a team practice Monday morning at FIU Stadium. Mentally, I can do things I couldnt do in the past. The 31-year-old Donovan scored five tournament goals and created others to help lead the United States to the Gold Cup title after coach Jurgen Klinsmann recalled Donovan in July. Its great to see Landon back in this group, Klinsmann said. That gives us as coaches another option and a very good option. Fridays game at National Stadium in San Jose will be the second of the teams home-and-home qualifying set. Clint Dempseys goal gave the United States a 1-0 win in the first game played under an intense snow storm March 22 in Commerce City, Colo. I want to be a part of the team going forward, Donovan said. I want to be part of the team that has a chance to qualify for the World Cup and eventually play in a World Cup and this is the next step for me. I am very excited to be here and I want to try to contribute. Fridays game at National Stadium in San Jose will be the second of the teams home-and-home qualifying set. Clint Dempseys goal gave the United States a 1-0 win in the first game played under an intense snow storm March 22 in Commerce City, Colo. Costa Rica appealed for a replay of that game, but was denied. Now the United States has to go into a hostile environment with a 12-game winning streak on the line. In my opinion, playing in Costa Rica specifically at Saprissa, its the hardest place to play in CONCACAF, Donovan said. We get a little bit of a break in that were playing in the national stadium. It looks like the weather will be very bearable. Those factors come into play when you play there. The United States currently leads the final qualifying group for North America, Central America and the Caribbean with 13 points two ahead of Costa Rica. The U.S., which has never won a qualifier at Costa Rica, plays Mexico four days later in Columbus, Ohio. Wins in both games could all but secure qualification for the US. We know thats a possibility - clearly other results have to go our way, too, U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard said. But I think the most important thing is if we can get three points in Costa Rica, were going to feel very good.

College student wants to leave parents home

The Daily Union. Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013

Dennis the Menace

Marmaduke

Dear Annie: I am a college student who is about two years from graduating. I have been living with my parents while I am in school, because its cheaper than living on campus. A few years ago, I decided, for several reasons, to move from Ohio to Florida when I graduate. Although my parents have told me my entire life to do what I want to do, they are against this move. When I first told them about this decision, they thought I was just dreaming. However, as my college education is winding up, they are trying to convince me to stay. They will not let up with their reasons for me to continue to live here. I keep telling my family that moving is not a final goodbye. They are welcome to visit anytime, and I surely will return to Ohio now and then. But this information hasnt convinced them to stop badgering me. I dont think I can take the pressure anymore. What do I do? Pressured Family Dear Pressured: Your family wants you to stick around because they will miss you terribly if you move away. They foresee you marrying someone from Florida and raising a family there, where you will have only periodic contact. You see this as developing your independence. They see it as a permanent separation. If you can understand their underlying fear and sadness, it will help you respond more compassionately to their badgering. But this is your decision to make, whether or not they agree, so please have the courage of your convictions, which includes the ability to withstand the pressure. Dear Annie: I have an account at a local bank. Every time anyone enters the bank, a greeter meets us with good wishes, hellos and What are your plans for the day? The tellers chitchat with customers at the window, asking How are you? and What are you doing for the holiday? This takes up time when people are waiting for service. How do you tell them to shut up and get the line moving when you only want to do business and get out? Waiting for Your Answer Dear Waiting: Most of this friendliness does not take up as much time as you think. Employees can be both friendly and efficient. You can say hello to a greeter

Garfield Annies mailbox

without stopping to tell your life story. Tellers can chat while they cash checks, enter deposits or do any number of things. It only becomes a problem if the teller cannot multitask or when the chatting continues after the transaction is finished. If you notice this happening, you should register a complaint with the bank manager. Dear Annie: You gave good advice to Lonely for Friends. I have been fortunate to make and keep many friends. Heres my advice: To keep friends, they must be nurtured like a garden. When you are with a potential friend: 1. Ask about them. Try not to be selfabsorbed. Show interest and care when they speak. 2. Discuss books, movies, current affairs (without the politics). 3. Invite them to your home and make another date while together. 4. Send a note by email, snail mail or even text message letting them know you enjoyed being together. 5. Remember their birthday or the next big holiday. 6. Be there as a friend when lifes difficulties happen and celebrate the good times. 7. Be lighthearted and fun to be around. To have a friend, one must be a friend. This also makes for better relations with co workers. Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life. A Good Friend

Wizard of Id

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21-April 19). What you want is constrained by other people, people you must influence in order to obtain your desired outcome. Consider carefully the many approaches available to you, including charm. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Stimulating circumstances make for a happy occasion, and yet theres a point of diminishing returns. Cross that threshold, and discomfort sets in, followed by displeasure. Get out while the gettins good. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When is it a good time to tell others what you expect of them? Either from the start, or just as soon as they have crossed one of your boundaries. If you wait, it will get awkward. Do not write a note. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Happiness is a room of your own and a stretch of uninterrupted time when its occupied only by you. Your beauty or your mess, your noise or your silence; you need it this way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your cat nature comes through as you metaphorically stretch, pounce and climb. This doesnt have to take you anywhere or add up to anything. Theres value in going off purpose or not having one to begin with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The thing that just doesnt feel right deserves some attention. Youll likely need to take a step back and carefully separate your identity from another persons idea of who you should be. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Is it wise or foolish to make long-term projections? The winding staircase to the future can only be climbed one step at a time, and yet today brings an accurate feeling about where it will lead. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll feel that someone is telling you something with their eyes -- a secret of the heart that no one else knows. Indeed, youre getting the signal right, though it may be some time before you get the rest of the details. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Given the number of responsibilities you have and the fixed amount of hours in a day, of course theres a limit to how many people you can have a quality relationship with. Be judicious in this regard this afternoon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel like the role youve accepted isnt a good fit and possibly never was. Good news: You can always change the script. An easy way to start is by changing the costume. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If only you had the authority to grant some of the wishes you and your loved ones have today. Dont worry. Through perseverance, you will accomplish what you couldnt make happen through power. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You and your love will do as poet Khalil Gibran suggested: Stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart. And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow.

SPORTS Titan Classic

Continued from Page 1B
posts, McFarthing has seen plenty of action come his way. It has been a trial by fire for the junior. Proctor said hes thrown a lot at his goalie in the first few weeks of practice, but so far hes been able to pick it up. (McFarthing) is going to learn something new every day for the rest of the season, He said. Thats the difficult part, its a struggle for him, its tough mentally. But hes a tough kid, hes athletic and it looks like he picks up on stuff extremely quickly and hopefully if we can keep teaching him new things he can keep moving forward. The final three goals all were scored on break aways after the Blue Jays had one-on-one breakdowns. Its keeping track of your marks, defending, very little things that make a big difference, Proctor said. You have to defend well and it breaks down to individual defending and thats what we struggled on. While the backline is trying to shore itself up, the team also is trying to do a better job with the transition from defense and moving the ball forward once it is won. The Blue Jays still are looking for their first goal of the season. Were not playing simple, and thats our problem, Proctor said. Were playing the game too complex and when you break it down, you have to play simple if you want to be successful. I think thats the problem with us so far is were trying to make the game too complex instead of playing simple. Junction City (0-2) continues with the second round of the Titan Classic today in Wichita.

Waiver Wire
Continued from Page 1B
first pick in the waiver claims. Its a very unique situation. Hopefully it will never happen again. The churning of the bottom part of the Chiefs roster began Saturday, when they waived 22 players to reach the NFLs 53-man limit. Trading linebacker Edgar Jones to the Cowboys for a draft pick later Saturday opened up another roster spot. Once that purging was complete, Dorsey had an idea of what players had become available. He said during an interview Monday that his staff worked until about 2 a.m. Sunday before taking a break to catch a couple hours sleep. They reconvened at 6 a.m. and kept evaluating video, knowing full well they would get whomever they claimed by virtue of their spot in the pecking order. The Chiefs wound up with seven players tied with Jacksonville for the most waiver claims who boarded planes to Kansas City. All but three claimed from Seattle made it in time to practice Monday, while those three were still undergoing physicals when the rest of the team hit the field. The learning curve is going to have to be fast, wide receiver Dexter McCluster said. They didnt go through the things that weve been going through, obviously the training camp. I think the team chemistry that we do have will help in bringing those guys in and showing them how its done.

Jimmy Lechuga (13) attempts to get past a Washburn Rural defender at Al Simpler Stadium Saturday,
the ball into the back of the net. The flood gates opened and Rural never took its foot off the gas en route to a 10-0 mercy rule win against Junction City. The Blue Jays struggled putting much of anything together in the first half and spent the majority of their time possessing the ball desperately trying to clear it. After surrendering the ninth goal of the game in the closing moments of the first half, Junction City rallied at the half. They held Washburn Rural scoreless for more than 15 minutes to open the second before the Blues ended it with a strike off of a set piece. Junction City coach Drew Proctor said nerves played a big factor in his teams slow start. The accolades (Rural has) drip out (its) pores, He said after the game about his opponent, who is ranked 18th in the nation. And they show up and the difference between how we played today and how they played was they showed up and had blood running out of their mouths. They were hungry and we werent.

Ethan Padway The Daily Union

It took Washburn Rural just 32 seconds to get on the bored Saturday morning at Al Simpler Stadium. The Blues stole a ball off the kickoff, charged down the field and won a corner before knocking

Nationally-Ranked Washburn Rural mercy-rules Jays 10-0

Most of the newcomers have some connection to players already on the team. Defensive back Marcus Cooper and wide receiver Chad Hall, waived by the 49ers, had been worked with wide receiver A.J. Jenkins, whom the Chiefs acquired in a trade a couple weeks ago. Then theres linebacker Dezman Moses, waived by the Packers, who spent last season playing alongside Frank Zombo, who was signed as a free agent and managed to survive the roster cuts. Id like to say I learn things pretty fast, Moses said. I will definitely dive in and be as prepared as possible for Sunday, trying to get things rolling wherever they need me. Dorsey said hes very satisfied with the makeup of the Chiefs roster heading into Week 1, but he also didnt sound like someone who is content with 30 new faces on the team. Im sure thats a big number, he acknowledged, but I dont think we should make an emphasis on the number. I think we should make an emphasis on the fact that, you know what? All along we had a plan, and part of that plan was to utilize the waiver wire here at the end as well. Notes: OG Jon Asamoah (strained right calf), LB Nico Johnson (right high ankle sprain) and S Sanders Commings (broken left collarbone) did not practice. McCluster was a full participant after missing the Chiefs final preseason game with an illness.

Henrik Stenson finally cashes in at TPC Boston

B y DOUG FERGUSON A ssociated P ress NORTON, Mass. A great summer of golf finally paid off for Henrik Stenson. Stenson made three straight birdies to race by a fast-fading Sergio Garcia, and he holed a bunker shot for birdie on the 17th hole to turn back a final threat from Steve Stricker and win the Deutsche Bank Championship. Stenson was runner-up in the British Open and a World Golf Championship, and he tied for third at the PGA Championship. All that was missing was a trophy, and he took care of that on Labor Day at the soggy TPC Boston by closing with a 5-under 66 for a two-shot win over Stricker. The 37-year-old Swede moved to the top of the FedEx Cup standings after two playoff events, assuring him his first trip to the Tour Championship and a clear shot at the $10 million prize. Im just pleased I won here, said Stenson, who tied the tournament record at 22-under 262. This was a big goal of mine to win a golf tournament after all those nice finishes. My family is here. Im going to see my kids in a little bit. Its all good. Stensons win was only part of the high drama Monday, so much that Tiger Woods became an afterthought. He closed with a 73 and tied for 65th. The best image of him all day was walking back out to the course after a rain delay with he and his 6-year-old daughter dressed in matching red. Brendan Steele thought his season was over when the final round was halted for two hours because of rain. Steele made a birdie putt on the 15th when play resumed, hit a 9-iron to 2 feet for birdie on the 16th and closed with two more birdies to sneak into the top 70 in the FedEx Cup and advance Michael Dwyer The Associated Press to the third playoff event in two weeks at Henrik Stenson salutes the gallery on the 18th hole Conway Farms north of Chicago. Steele appeared to bump Ernie Els out of after winning the Deutsche Bank Championship in the top 70 when he tied him at 12-under Norton, Mass., Monday. 272. It feels like I just missed the cut, Els said when he finished. But the Big Easy was given a big reprieve. K.J. Choi made a bogey on the par-5 18th. Charley Hoffman made bogey on the 17th. Kevin Chappell missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the last hole. That combination was enough for Els to grab the 70th spot by a fraction of a point. Strickers third runner-up finish this year allowed him to move into the top 10 and qualify for the Presidents Cup team, despite playing a part-time schedule. That put the 10th spot up for grabs between Webb Simpson and Zach Johnson, who were playing together on the other side of the course. They were tied at 8 under big advantage to Simpson until the former U.S. Open champion dropped two shots on the last four holes. Johnson faced a 25-foot birdie putt on his last hole that determined whether he made the team, and he poured it in the middle. Johnson last week gave up a chance to earn points by skipping The Barclays to be in his brothers wedding. Lost in all this commotion was Jordan Spieth, the 20-year-old Texan dressed in a shirt with the Dallas Cowboys silver-andblue colors. He went birdie-birdie-birdieeagle at the end of his round for a 62 right before the rain delay. With such soft conditions, his 17-under 267 was never going to hold up. Spieth wound up tied for fourth, and is No. 10 in the FedEx Cup standings. He is assured of becoming the first player since Woods in 1996 to start a season with no status and reach the Tour Championship. Woods, however, did it in seven tournaments. U.S. captain Fred Couples announces his two wild-card picks for the Presidents Cup on Wednesday, and Spieth is sure to get plenty of attention. Graham DeLaet of Canada started slowly and finished with two birdies for a 69 to finish alone in third and lock up a spot on his first Presidents Cup team for the International squad. Garcia had a two-shot lead at the start of the final round and gave it away quickly, starting with a three-putt for bogey on the par-5 second hole. He missed several short putts and went out in 39, falling too far back to catch up. Stenson, who hit his second shot into the hazard on the second hole to make bogey, atoned for that mistake with three straight birdies to take the lead, and he kept the mistakes to a minimum on the back nine. Stricker was two shots behind and had a long eagle putt on the 18th. Behind him, Stenson hit his approach into the bunker on the 17th. Right when the tournament was in doubt, Stenson holed the bunker shot to effectively wrap up the win.

Snyder ball
Continued from Page 1B
step up and do that. Essentially, against the Bison, the Wildcats got away from the playing style Snyders teams have become known for. Now its time for them to figure out which direction they want to go back to traditional Snyder ball, or to a more progressive approach that has become common in the Big 12. After watching the season opener, the answer is fairly obvious. You have to feel the pain that goes along with not having the success that youd want, Snyder said. Then at some point in time theres the emotion of anger that sets in, and thats human nature, and hopefully our youngsters follow that nature, that path. I think they have to have a more inspired football team than what we are and thats the emotional aspect of it and it all boils down to caring.
