Three future Kentucky Wildcats will be on display at the Marshall County Hoop Fest, one reason ticket sales have been brisk.
The possibility that two or three other players appearing in the Nov. 30-Dec. 1 event could end up playing at Kentucky has Mar-shall athletic director Jeff Stokes dreaming of the big-time atmo-sphere for which the Hoop Fest is known.

Baylor’s Brittney Griner (42) attempts a shot under pressure from Kentucky’s Azia Bishop (50) and Brit-tany Henderson during Tuesday’s women’s game in Waco, Texas. Griner led all scoring with 27-points in the 85-51 Baylor win.
WACO, Texas — Even Baylor coach Kim Mulkey seemed surprised at how things went in what was supposed to be the defend-ing national champion’s fi rst real challenge.
Brittney Griner and the Lady Bears overwhelmed sixth-ranked Kentucky 85-51, never allowing the defending SEC champion to press the way it likes to do and winning their 42nd consecutive game. Baylor took control early, and 13 players got in the game.
“When you’re getting la-yups on the other end and you’re beating the press, that press is only good if you’re turning the ball over,” Mulkey said. “I just thought for the second game of the year, to do what we did, and do it comfortably, maybe I just need to sit down and not get so stressed out.”
After unfurling their 2012 national champion-ship banner high from the rafters at the Ferrell Center before the game, the Lady Bears (2-0) went on to build a 46-19 halftime lead. That
was against a team that re-turned four starters and is favored to win the SEC again.
Griner scored 27 points with eight rebounds, while Odyssey Sims added 18 points with six assists and four steals. Destiny Wil-liams had 14 points and 12 rebounds.
“We knew they press a lot, there was going to be pressure. Like coach said, I think we handled it well,” Griner said. “Now this game is over, it’s time to focus on Stanford, remember some from the Final Four, and now it’s time to get in the fi lm room.”
The Lady Bears head to Hawaii next, where they play fourth-ranked Stan-ford on Friday in the opener of the Rainbow Wahine Classic. That is a rematch of last season’s national semi-fi nal game Baylor won 59-47 in Denver.
A’dia Mathies, the reign-ing SEC player of the year, had 12 points on 3-of-18 shooting for Kentucky (1-1) while defended by Jordan Madden. Bria Goss had 11 points.
“I wish we had played better, I really wish we had, and I wish we had done a better job tonight, because I know a lot of people were excited about this game. And not just people rooting for Baylor and Kentucky,” coach Matthew Mitchell said.
“Those things are very disappointing. I cannot fo-cus on that. As the leader, we just have to react appro-priately and fi gure out what we need to do.”
Griner missed her fi rst two shots, and put Baylor up 13-8 when she fi nally scored on a layup 6½ min-utes into the game. That started a 2-minute span when the 6-foot-8 All-American scored 10 points, extending the lead to 23-13.
She then made 11 con-secutive fi eld goals before missing a short hook shot with just under 10 minutes left in the game. By that time Baylor led 69-33, and Griner was out of the game for good on the next time-out.
“Just getting in my groove,” Griner said of her quick turnaround.
The Rams had an 80-yard pass on the fi rst play negated by an illegal for-mation penalty. Then stal-wart David Akers missed a 41-yard fi eld goal for the 49ers. Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein made one from 53 yards, but that didn’t count because of a delay-of-game call. His next attempt from 58 yards was wide right.
By then, the anticlimactic ending seemed inevitable.
“Ties just don’t seem to make sense in football,” said Bengals left tackle Andrew Whitworth, who played in that previous draw in 2008. “There’s too much effort, too much sacrifi ce that goes into this game to end in a tie, that’s for sure.”
The 49ers (6-2-1) now have a hard-to-fi gure-out lead on the Seahawks (6-4) in the NFC West, which makes Sunday’s outcome all the more maddening.
“A division game? Oh, wow. I guess that could make it interesting at the end of the year,” Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker said.
Overtime was introduced at the college level in 1996, and there the teams trade possessions from the 25-yard line until there’s a win-ner. But the time when ties were permitted below the NFL was so long ago that current players never expe-rienced that.
Denver safety Rahim Moore dug deep in his memory bank to Pop War-ner ball to recall one.
“I believe we went triple overtime and we ended up winning and I don’t remem-ber how it all went down,” Moore said. “It was like the 90s, so I forget. Also, I would say it was in the rain.”
Even the NHL has abol-ished ties, using a pen-alty shot competition after scoreless overtimes in a
regular season game with mixed reviews. (Imagine the NFL switching to a punt-pass-kick contest to settle the score!)
“I would’ve loved to see a shootout,” Seattle coach Pete Carroll said, joking. “A couple of guys fi ring the ball at the goal posts. Anything to settle the thing.”
Uh, don’t count on that.Anderson said the NFL’s
competition committee will consider the overtime rules annually, but in a league where injuries are common the likelihood of a change is slim.
“To have these guys going into an additional overtime period or more, we would be taking on some risk we don’t think is prudent to take on,” Anderson said.
The NFL Players Associa-tion didn’t respond to a re-
quest for comment.Another factor working
against a change is game quality. With the promise of endless overtimes, if neces-sary to determine a winner, teams could be tempted to play conservatively down the stretch and bog a con-test down in safe runs and punts.
There’s also the stake the television networks have in this multi-billion-dollar business to consider. CBS and Fox already have to push back lucrative Sunday night shows if games run long during the afternoon. The possibility — even if it’s an improbability — of a three-overtime game, then, is not ideal for them even though they’d undoubtedly keep fans glued to their sets for more time in that sce-nario.

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a sprained right shoulder and his status for Sunday’s showdown with AFC North ri-val Baltimore is uncertain.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday that Roethlisberger is “questionable” and is waiting for more details on the quarterback’s condition. Roethlisberger left Mon-day night’s 16-13 overtime win over Kansas City in the third quarter after getting slammed to the ground by Chiefs linebackers Tamba Hali and Justin Houston.
Veteran backup Byron Leftwich filled in and com-pleted 7 of 14 passes for 73 yards. Leftwich’s last start came in 2009 while playing for the Atlanta Fal-cons.
Tomlin said safety Troy Polamalu remains doubtful with a right calf injury. Polamalu hasn’t played since a win over Philadelphia on Oct. 7.

MIAMI — The Miami Marlins’ spending spree a year ago didn’t work, so now they’re trying another payroll purge.
Rebranded in a new ballpark at the start of 2012, the Marlins were up to their old ways Tuesday, swap-ping stars for prospects. Miami traded shortstop Jose Reyes, left-hander Mark Buehrle and right-hander Josh Johnson to the Toronto Blue Jays as part of a blockbuster deal, a person familiar with the agree-ment said.
The person confirmed the trade to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the teams weren’t officially commenting. The person said the trade sent several of the Blue Jays’ top prospects to Miami.
The stunning agreement came less than a year after the Marlins added Reyes, Buehrle and closer Heath Bell in an uncharacteristic $191 million spend-ing binge as they moved into a new ballpark. The ac-quisitions raised high hopes, but the Marlins instead finished last in the NL East.
The latest paring of salary actually began in July, when the Marlins parted with former NL batting cham-pion Hanley Ramirez, second baseman Omar Infante and right-hander Anibal Sanchez, among others. Bell, the team’s high-profile bust, was traded to Arizona last month.

NEW YORK — Davey Johnson of the Washington Na-tionals, and Bob Melvin of the Oakland Athletics were chosen as managers of the year on Tuesday after guiding their teams to huge turnaround seasons.
Melvin beat out Baltimore’s Buck Showalter for the AL honor in a close vote by a Baseball Writers’ Asso-ciation of America panel. Under Melvin, the A’s made a 20-game improvement, finished 94-68 and won the AL West.
Johnson was an easy choice for the NL prize after the Nationals — who had never enjoyed a winning year — posted the best record in the majors and made their first playoff appearance.
Johnson, who turns 70 in January, was honored for the second time. He was tabbed as the AL’s top man-ager in 1997, hours after he resigned from the Orioles in a feud with owner Peter Angelos.
Melvin also became a two-time winner, having been chosen in 2007 with Arizona. Melvin got 16 first-place votes. Showalter got the other 12 firsts, and Robin Ventura of the Chicago White Sox finished third.
The A’s were one of baseball’s biggest surprises this year, especially after trades and injuries wreaked havoc with the roster.

The Oregon Ducks rarely, if ever, talk about injuries — even season-ending ones.
So it’s hard to say how de-pleted the AP’s No. 1 team is going into Saturday’s game against No. 14 Stanford. But it’s clear the Ducks have taken a hit, especially on de-fense.
The latest casualty is free safety Avery Patterson, who seriously injured his left knee in the second quarter of Oregon’s 59-17 victory at California last Saturday night.
Patterson was seen on the sidelines on crutches and in sweats following the game. Although there was no offi -cial word from the program, The Oregonian newspaper cited an unnamed source as saying Patterson was out for the season.
Patterson had taken over as starter for senior John Boyett, who was hurt early this season. Boyett played in the opener against Arkan-sas State, but was in street clothes the next week. Later he revealed to his hometown newspaper that he needed surgery to repair the patel-lar tendons in both knees. While the Ducks never for-mally announced Boyett’s injury, it ended his career at Oregon.
Sophomore James Scales replaced Patterson against Cal. Senior defensive line-men Dion Jordan (right
s h o u l d e r ) Isaac Rem-ington (foot) and Ricky H e i m u l i (right knee) were dressed on the side-lines in
Berkeley but did not play. As a result, the Ducks re-lied at times on three true freshmen — Arik Armstead, DeForest Buckner and Alex Balducci — on the defensive line.
Starting nose guard Wade Keliikipi never made the trip to Strawberry Canyon because of an undisclosed injury and was seen using crutches on Monday. De-fensive end Taylor Hart also hurt an ankle or foot against Cal and wore a boot.
The injuries tested coach Chip Kelly’s “next man in” philosophy.
“It’s part of college foot-ball,” Kelly said. “Can you handle it, or can you not handle it?”
The Ducks were already hurting in the secondary with sophomore backup cornerbacks Dior Mathis and Troy Hill absent against Cal for unclear reasons. The situation has become so se-rious that there was specula-tion this week that the Ducks might use wide receiver Ke-anon Lowe or even multi-purpose back De’Anthony Thomas on defense.
The move comes after USC used dynamic wide receiver
Marqise Lee on defense for a few snaps against Arizo-na State last weekend, and Washington played receiver Austin Seferian-Jenkins on defense against Utah.
Lowe played at safety at Jesuit High School in Port-land, and came to Oregon, in part, because he wanted to play offense. Thomas played on both sides of the ball at Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles.
The Ducks already moved redshirt freshman Koa Ka’ai, who had played at tight end this season, back to defen-sive end, which he played in high school.
The bright side in all of this for the Ducks is that even though they’ve had in-juries, their backups — and even third stringers — have had plenty of work this sea-son. In addition to Oregon’s practice of heavy player ro-tation on defense to wear down opponents, the Ducks often sat their starters after building up big leads.
Against the Golden Bears, the injuries were not limited to the defense. There were two major scares on offense.
Senior running back Ken-jon Barner left the game briefl y during the fi rst quar-ter after an apparent injury to his right thumb.Quarter-back Marcus Mariota also left the game after a hard fall injured his left shoulder late in the fi rst half, but returned and fi nished with 377 yards passing and six touchdowns.

invaluable.”In a coincidence border-
ing on absurd, the Kleins are just one of four sets of brothers on the roster for the Wildcats (10-0, 7-0 Big 12), who play at Baylor on Saturday.
Senior Anthony Cantele, a Lou Groza Award semi-fi nalist, has been passing along his knowledge to Jack Cantele, a redshirt fresh-man kicker. Wide receiver Curry Sexton, a key contrib-utor on the Wildcats’ pro-lifi c offense, is the brother of Collin Sexton, a redshirt freshman. Senior lineback-er Jared Loomis’ brother, Evan Loomis, is also a wide receiver.
Snyder, the Wildcats’ longtime coach, said there isn’t necessarily rhyme or reason to the recruitment of brothers. It’s one of those quirks that just tend to hap-pen. But he also realizes the undeniable benefi ts to hav-ing siblings on the roster.
“Maybe there could be cantankerous relationships or close relationships, or the combination of both,” he said, “but regardless of
how you grow up, there’s a family affection that exists, where you truly care about each other. It’s a joy for them to have the opportu-nity to be together.”
That’s certainly true in the case of the Klein broth-ers from Loveland, Colo.
They were both home schooled, and that meant
endless hours spent to-gether. They have a lot of the same interests, a similar work ethic, hopes and de-sires. Kyle Klein admitted to being the more impulsive of the two, but there are far more similarities than dif-ferences.
They squabble, of course.“But I honestly can’t re-
member the last time,” said Kyle Klein, who even looks like his big brother. “We had a lot of playful fi ghts, wrestling in the backyard, but in terms of swinging at each other, I don’t remem-ber. It’s been a long time.”
It’s more likely that they’ll come out swinging in each other’s defense.

Wholesale pricesEconomists expect that the producer price index rose slightly in October.
The index, due to be released by the Labor Depart-ment today, measures price changes before they reach the consumer. It’s been rising since August, when it increased 1.7 percent, the largest one-month jump in more than three years. Overall prices have been pushed higher by sharp increases in gasoline costs.
Improved earningsWall Street anticipates that PetSmart will report improved financial results for its fiscal third quarter today.
The pet products retailer has seen sales improve this year, driving its earnings 31 percent higher on an annual basis through the end of July. The company has forecast double-digit revenue growth for the year.
Positive momentumWilliams-Sonoma reached the midpoint of its fiscal year with earnings and revenue running ahead of the same time in 2011.
That gave the upscale home goods company strong momentum heading into its third quarter, prompting management to increase their full-year earnings forecast. Will Williams-Sonoma’s latest earnings, due out today, show it’s on track to deliver?

Apple stock has taken a beating since the launch of the iPhone 5. It has fallen 23 percent to $542.90, from an all-time closing high of $702.10 on Sept. 19, two days before the phone went on sale. This is happening even as Apple is shipping more new products than ever. In part, the price decline stems from the company’s warning that those new products, like the iPad Mini, provide lower profit margins because they’re expensive to produce. But that’s a short-term effect: once the production lines have warmed up, the costs will come down. There are other concerns, but Wall Street analysts haven’t been encouraging the sell-off. On the
contrary, many have raised their price targets since the stock peaked, and the average price target is $774.

SAN FRANCISCO — Mi-crosoft CEO Steve Ballmer isn’t going to let anyone get in his way.
Not even his presumed heir apparent, who runs the software maker’s Win-dows empire, can stop Ballmer as he pushes the company in a new direc-tion.
That was the underlying message of a power strug-gle that led to the abrupt departure of Steven Sinof-sky, who oversaw the Win-dows operating system that has been the founda-tion of Microsoft’s success.
The fi ssure announced late Monday came less than three weeks after Sinofsky and Ballmer appeared on a stage in New York to hail the long-awaited release of Windows 8, a radical overhaul of the operating system. The Redmond, Wash.-based company de-signed it to make its prod-ucts more relevant in an age when more daily com-puting tasks are shifting from desktop and laptop machines to smartphones and tablet computers.
Microsoft Corp. didn’t elaborate on the reasons
behind the end of Sinof-sky’s 23-year career at the company. But all signs point to tensions boiling over as Ballmer tries to weave Microsoft’s prod-ucts more closely together so the technology is easily accessible whenever and wherever people want to work, play and communi-cate.
That’s a goal Micro-soft rivals Apple Inc. and
Google Inc. have been pursuing for the past few years, giving them a head start in a battle that’s im-mersing technology even deeper into people’s lives.
To achieve his objec-tives, Ballmer is trying to dismantle fi efdoms within Microsoft that date back to the 1990s when co-found-er Bill Gates ran the com-pany. According to indus-try analysts, Gates divided
the company into different engineering silos devoted to each of Microsoft’s key franchises — Windows, the Offi ce suite of software, on-line services and corporate servers. When Ballmer be-came CEO nearly 13 years ago, he inherited the struc-ture and even expanded it to include new divisions to house new products such as the Xbox 360 gaming console.
Windows chief leaves in struggleBY MICHAEL LIEDTKE

WASHINGTON — The federal government started the 2013 budget year with a $120 billion defi cit in Oc-tober, an indication that the nation is on a path to its fi fth straight $1 trillion-plus an-nual defi cit.
A soaring defi cit puts add-ed pressure on President Barack Obama and Con-gress to seek a budget deal in the coming weeks.
The Treasury Department said Tuesday that the Octo-ber defi cit — the gap be-tween the government’s tax revenue and its spending — was 22 percent higher than the same month last year.
Tax revenue increased 13 percent from the same month last year to $184.3 billion. But spending rose 16.4 percent to $304.3 bil-lion. Spending was held down last October by a quirk in the calendar: the fi rst day of the month fell on a Satur-day, so some benefi ts were paid in September 2011.
The defi cit, in simplest terms, is the amount of
money the government has to borrow when revenues fall short of expenses. The government ran a $1.1 tril-lion annual budget defi cit in the fi scal year that ended in September. That was lower than the previous year but still painfully high by his-torical standards.
Obama’s presidency has coincided with four straight $1 trillion-plus defi cits — the fi rst in history and a record he had to vigorously defend during his re-elec-tion campaign.
The size and scope of this year’s defi cit will largely de-pend on what happens with a package of tax increases and spending cuts set to take effect in January unless the White House and Con-gress reach a budget deal by then.
If the economy goes over the fi scal cliff, this year’s defi cit would shrink to $641 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Of-fi ce. But the CBO also warns that the economy would sink into recession in the fi rst half of 2013.

The fate of a tax cred-it that advocates say is needed to maintain tens of thousands of wind energy jobs will be decided during high-stakes, last-minute negotiations between Pres-ident Obama and House Republicans over fi scal is-sues, offi cials said Tuesday.
The wind energy pro-duction tax credit is due to expire at the end of the year. Its extension stalled in Congress this summer amid fi erce opposition from some conservative House Republicans. The last chance to extend the measure is in the budget deal that will be cut be-tween Obama and Republi-cans in the lame duck ses-
sion of Congress.Backers of the credit
tried to ramp up pressure to extend the $12 billion break Tuesday with a tele-conference featuring sev-eral governors, who noted that uncertainty over its fate has led to thousands of job losses across the country. A study by a wind energy group found that 37,000 jobs would be lost if
the credit expires.The credit’s supporters
say the government has subsidized fossil fuels like oil for more than a century. Opponents argue it distorts the energy marketplace and leads to higher prices. The credit was fi rst signed by President George H.W. Bush and backed by a num-ber of prominent Republi-cans.
