DARRELL ARTHUR
INVESTIGATION
REOPENED
The Dallas Independent School District has re-opened
its investi-
its investigation into the Darrell Arthur grade changing scandal.
WFAAT TV aired a story in May
Arthur
reporting Arthur had failed classes while at South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, but the grades were changed to passing.
The school district investigated the claim this summer and absolved the high school of any wrongdoing in August. WFAA-TV, however, kept investigating and found holes in DISD's investigation, which forced it to look back into the situation.

nielder Jessica Bush scored her first goal of the season from 22 yards out, but couldn't manufacture an answer to junior forward Whitney Palmer's goal in the 65th minute.
Francis said the game was typical for a Sunday match with players still recovering from Friday's intense contest with Oklahoma State.
The loss was all the more frustrating considering Kansas created plenty of chances offensively, Francis said.
"We had ample opportunities to score," Francis said. "We missed a couple right in front of the goal. You just can't miss those kinds of chances and expect to win the game."
HANLEY SEES RED AGAINST COWGIRLS
Junior goalkeeper Julie Hanley was shown a red card following Kansas' overtime loss to Oklahoma
State on Friday night, forcing her to miss Sunday's contest with Oklahoma.
Following Kasey Langdon's game-winning goal, Hanley
said she punted the ball in frustration, it bounced and eventually struck referee Sandra Serafini, leading to her ejection.
Hanley
Senior Stephanie Baugh played 110 minutes in goal for the Jayhawks on Sunday.
Both coaches were also given yellow cards during a tense point late in the second half.

MONTEMAYOR
(CONTINUED FROM 1B)
Jayhawks' schedule — a real bitch of a slate ahead. Beginning with a trip to No. 4 Oklahoma on Saturday, the Jayhawks will welcome No. 7 Texas Tech, No. 1 Texas and finish the regular season at Arrowhead Stadium versus No. 11 Missouri.
As unclear as to how a tougher schedule would play out, the forecast for this second half is actually clouder in the best possible way.
While Kansas was waxing Colorado, Texas out-dueled the once infallible Sooners in a game where neither produced much on the ground. The high-flying Red Raiders were nearly upended in overtime against sorry Nebraska while Missouri's Heisman hopeful Chase Daniel threw three picks at home before falling 28-23 to Oklahoma State. No team in the mighty Big 12 is unstoppable.
Should Kansas' overall season's success mirror their individual games, we may be in for another surprise in Lawrence, as the Jayhawks appear to be hitting their stride at halftime.

Los Angeles Dodgers' Rafael Furcal scores in front of Philadelphia Phillies' Carlos Ruiz during the first inning in Game 3 of the National League baseball championship series Sunday in Los Angeles. Furcal scored from second on a banton Raimirez.
Dodgers fight back against Phillies
LOS ANGELES — Tired of getting brushed back in the NL championship series, Manny Ramirez and the Los Angeles Dodgers came out ready to fight their way back against Philadelphia.
Blake DeWitt's bases-loaded triple off Jamie Moyer capped a five-run first inning, and the feisty Dodgers beat the Phillies 7-2 on Sunday night to trim Philadelphia's lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
The benches and bullpens emptied moments after Los Angeles starter Hiroki Kuroda threw a pitch over Shane Victorino's head, with an angry Ramirez barking at the Phillies during the dustup.
But there were no punches or ejections, and the Dodgers played with poise all night.
a matchup of right-handers.
Kuroda pitched effectively into the seventh for Los Angeles, which will try to even the series Monday night. Game 1 loser Derek Lowe, working on three days' rest, will face Philadelphia's Joe Blanton in
Kuroda buzzed Victorino in the third, apparently an attempt to retaliate for Philadelphia's Brett Myers throwing behind Ramirez in game 2.
Plate umpire Mike Everitt immediately warned both teams. Victorino shouted at Kuroda while pointing at his own head and upper body as if to say: "It's OK to throw at my body, but not my head."
Victorino grounded out to first baseman Nomar Garciaparra and then exchanged words with Kuroda near the bag. Both dugouts emptied and the bullpens followed, but no punches were thrown and there were no ejections.
Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa and Phillies first base coach Davey Lopes appeared to be two of the angriest participants in the near-scuffle, yelling at each other before the teams cleared the field. Ramirez also came in from left field to bark at the Phillies and had to be restrained by teammates, manager Joe Torre and an umbrella.
Myers threw behind Ramirez in the first inning of Game 2 on Friday, and Los Angeles' Russell Martin was brushed back as well. The soft-tossing Moyer hit Martin with a pitch in the first inning Sunday night, and reliever Clay Condrey knocked down the Dodgers' catcher in the second.
Martin was hit by another pitch in the seventh, by Chad Durbin, drawing a boos from the crowd and prompting Ramirez to climb to the top step of the dugout, but he took first base without incident.
The Phillies and Dodgers don't have a recent history of animosity, unlike Boston and Tampa Bay, the ALCS participants. The Red Sox and Rays have played two peaceful games in their series after a nasty brawl in June.
The Phillies and Dodgers have played 11 times this year including eight in the regular season, with the home team winning every game.
