A promising engineering firm and its 65 high-paying jobs are leaving Lawrence for Olathe after local leaders weren’t able to put together a deal to keep the company.

Economic development leaders confirmed that EN Engineering — formerly known as Wheatland Systems — is close to signing a deal to leave its longtime offices at 2110 Del. for an office building in Olathe.

Lawrence Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Tom Kern said the loss was a disappointment for a community that is trying to attract more highpaying jobs.

“These are the type of jobs we want to attract to Lawrence and they certainly are the type of jobs we want to keep in Lawrence,” Kern said.

In the past 30 years, the amount of sediment that has settled on the bottom of Clinton Lake would be enough to fill nearly 5,000 Olympic-size swimming pools.

That’s a lot of dirt — about 70 percent more than what scientists had expected when the lake was completed in 1977.

This week, the U.S. Geological Survey released a study on rising sediment levels in Clinton Lake, a reservoir that holds much of Lawrence’s drinking water.

The findings will reshape water quality standards for the lake and land management practices upstream from it.

How quickly Clinton Lake fills up with sediment affects the lake’s ability to provide flood control, supply water and be a recreational resource.

“It’s an unavoidable aspect of reservoirs. They will fill with sediment over time,” said Kyle Juracek, a USGS research hydrologist who worked on the study.

Along with uncovering how much sediment was collecting at the bottom of the lake, the study also looked at what was in the sediment. The USGS found an increase in the growth of blue-green algal blooms.

If large enough, algal blooms can cause funkytasting water and produce toxins. Lawrence residents might remember several weeks last August when blue-green algae in Clinton Lake and other Kansas reservoirs had drinking water supplies tasting rather yucky.

But Juracek said that rising sediment levels don’t always produce more algal blooms.

“More sediment in the water makes it more turbid, reducing the amount of light. Algae can’t grow without light. So extremely turbid water

“If I don’t, then it was just a waste of time,” he said.

But overall, the face is just a small part of Brothers’ newest 8-foot-tall statue, titled “Homage.” Brothers has spent more than a year designing and creating the cast bronze soldier that will be on display from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Visitors Center, 402 N. Second St. in North Lawrence. The piece will also be on display May 29 in Gage Park in Topeka for Memorial Day.

The company has 65 employees, with many of the positions — sources said — paying between $60,000 to $100,000 per year. But the company was looking for new space because it expects significant new hiring — perhaps 20 to 30 employees — in the coming years.

No deal Leaders with the city, county, chamber of commerce and private developers worked on several deals to keep the company in town.

Proposals to expand the company’s existing offices on Delaware Street and to build a new 20,000-square-foot building either in East Hills Business Park or in the Fairfield Farms development at 23rd and were presented to the company, which insisted on a location on the east edge of Lawrence because some employees commute from the Kansas City area. The company also looked at the vacant downtown Borders location.

But then late in the process, Lawrence leaders were told the company had decided to sign a lease for a vacant building in Olathe.

“I think the chamber, the city and the county all were trying to find ways to enable them to stay in Lawrence, but unfortunately we never were really given the opportunity to work out a specific deal,” Douglas County Administrator Craig Weinaug said.

Disagreement There is some disagreement in the private sector about whether economic development leaders did

enough to strike a deal. Longtime Lawrence businessman Duane Schwada is a landlord for the company at its Delaware Street off ices.

Schwada said a key element in the project was extending EN Engineering’s lease — which expires in October — in order to give the company enough time to construct an office building in Lawrence.

Schwada said he offered to extend the company’s lease for two years to ensure it had enough time to get the building project through the city’s planning process and constructed.

According to multiple sources, EN Engineering officials wanted a shorter lease.

A deal for a shorter lease wasn’t struck, but Schwada said he alerted local economic development leaders that a deal possibly could be helped along if the city, county or chamber — or some partnership — would agree to buy the company out of its Delaware lease, if necessary.

Sources said that a buyout of the lease likely would have been in the $30,000 range.

But Weinaug said the economic development team was never asked by EN Engineering to consider such a lease buyout provision, and Weinaug said he was uncertain whether he could recommend it to elected leaders.

“I personally couldn’t come up with a justification to pay a landlord for a lease for a purpose that wasn’t a public purpose,” Weinaug said.

required to bridge gaps, sustain needed programs and make some improvements.

“We want to make an effort to enhance quality wherever we can,” said Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little.

KU is seeking a $14 million increase in tuition and fees.

That translates into a semester hike from $4,012 to $4,234, a $222 or 5.5 percent increase for an undergraduate taking 15 hours. The nonresident tuition will increase from $9,504 to $10,179, a $675 increase or 7.1 percent.

Tuition and fees under the KU Compact — for first-time, degree-seeking freshmen — would be fixed for four years and would increase from $4,366 to $4,611, or $245, which is a 5.6 percent increase.

If the proposed increases are approved, Gray-Little said, KU would remain a bargain.

KU ranked 28th in tuition and fees out of 35 public universities that are members of the Association of American Universities, she said.

Under KU’s proposal, the revenue would be used to cover the cost of unfunded mandates, provide targeted pay increases to retain top faculty and staff, and expand

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD decided to go in a different direction.

Some city commissioners, however, said they were disappointed they weren’t given the opportunity to make a stronger push on the deal.

Both commissioners Mike Amyx and Mike Dever said they were never made aware that a lease buyout provision might have kept the company in Lawrence.

“When a business that has been in Lawrence for more than 15 years is considering leaving, we need to be made aware of what might be necessary to solidify their longterm relationship with the city,” Dever said.

Amyx and Dever said they were made aware that economic development leaders were working to keep EN Engineering, but both said they would have liked more information about how elected leaders could have stepped forward to seal a deal. Both said they would have given serious consideration to a lease buyout, especially if the amount was in the tens of thousands of dollars range.

“We work hard all the time to attract businesses from out of town,” Dever said. “The same effort needs to be put into retaining businesses, too.

That means creative packages sometimes need to be put together.”

EN Engineering designs automation systems for industries nationwide. The business has been growing, in part, because it has strong footholds in the lucrative oil and natural gas industries.

The company was known as Wheatland Systems until mid-2010 when it was purchased by Illinois-based EN Engineering.

high-demand course offerings.

Gray-Little said “raids on faculty” from schools across the country were increasing.

Gray-Little All the regents schools were seeking increases. For a resident undergraduate, the increase at Kansas State would be 3.8 percent; Wichita State, 5.1 percent; Emporia State, 6.8 percent; Pittsburg State, 6.5 percent; and Fort Hays State, 3.6 percent.

Kansas State President Kirk Shulz said the $6.6 million tuition increase wouldn’t “meet all the needs that we have going into the next year.”

And he noted that more students were having trouble paying their bills on time.

“The most distressing thing about those statistics is that more of them are firstgeneration (college students) and under-represented minorities,” he said.

From flunking out to flourishing 1 | CHICAGO

Unabomber looked at for Tylenol deaths Could the Unabomber and Chicago’s Tylenol poisoner be one and the same? FBI agents investigating the Tylenol killings, unsolved for nearly 30 years, want Ted Kaczynski’s DNA, but they aren’t saying whether there’s any reason to believe he might be a match.

Chicago FBI spokeswoman Cynthia Yates said the bureau wants DNA from “numerous individuals” including Kaczynski, although she wouldn’t provide details about any of the others. The FBI’s efforts to get Kaczynski’s DNA became publicly known because of a court motion he filed seeking to keep materials he claims would exonerate him in the Tylenol case: items from his Montana cabin that the U.S. Marshals Service is auctioning off.

Kaczynski lived in the tiny cabin as he sent off mail bombs that killed three people and wounded several others in attacks that began in the late 1970s. The FBI dubbed the man the Unabomber because the bombs originally targeted university professors and airline executives.

Kaczynski, who grew up in the Chicago area, was captured in 1996, pleaded guilty two years later and is serving a life sentence in federal prison in Colorado.

‘Flash stores,’ bringing back athletic events among issues raised at listening session

Home births up, driven by subculture Home births rose 20 percent over four years, government figures show, reflecting what experts say is a small subculture among white women toward natural birth.

Fewer than 1 percent of U.S. births occur at home.

But the proportion is clearly going up, study by researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. The new figures are for 2004 to 2008.

Home births had been declining from 1990 to 2004.

The increase was driven by white women — 1 in 98 had their babies at home in 2008, the most recent year for which the statistics were available.

Only about 1 in 357 black women give birth at home, and just 1 in 500 Hispanic women do.

“I think there’s more of a natural birth subculture going on with white women — an interest in a lowintervention birth in a familiar setting,” said the lead author, Marian MacDorman of the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics.

For all races combined, about 1 in 143 births were at home in 2008, up from 1 in 179 in 2004.

Deal to extend Patriot Act reached Top congressional leaders agreed Thursday to a four-year extension of the anti-terrorist Patriot Act, the controversial law passed after the Sept. 11 attacks that governs the search for terrorists on American soil.

The deal between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker John Boehner calls for a vote before May 27, when parts of the current act expire. The idea is to pass the extension with as little debate as possible to avoid a protracted and familiar argument over the expanded power the law gives to the government.

Support for the extension was unclear. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., wanted tighter restrictions on the government’s power and may seek to amend it. In the House, members of the freshman class elected on promises of making government smaller were skeptical.

“I still have some concerns, and at this point I’m leaning against (voting for) it,” said one, Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md. 3 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Troop morale plummets, report says A new report says American troops in Afghanistan are suffering with the highest rates of mental health problems since 2005 and that morale has plummeted.

The report, released Thursday, furnished the first detailed glimpse of the psychological cost of a campaign commanders and officials say has reversed the momentum of the insurgency. Among other things, it says the dramatic increase in fighting there is one of the key factors affecting the mental health of the uniformed forces. For instance, some 70 to 80 percent of troops surveyed for the report said they had seen a buddy killed or wounded.

The report also said that the psychological problems may actually be fewer than expected, given the high level of combat troops are seeing. And the military said it has doubled the mental health staff in the country to help troops cope with their problems.

So she applied to go back to KU. “They said, ‘Oh, no way,’” she said.

Actually, they were a lot nicer than that. They suggested she try to go back to Johnson County Community College, which she did. She earned mostly A’s, and KU took her back. But they were watching to make sure she didn’t slip up.

Kissinger said she knows some people can see her as a sort of dumb-blonde type. She has a high-pitched voice, a friendly, bubbly personality, and when one professor asked her to give a presentation to a bunch of other professors, she knew the material but didn’t know how to use PowerPoint.

The first thing you need to know about Jennifer Kissinger is that she thinks tapeworms are cute. And she searches through the guts of fish to find them.

The 36-year-old undergraduate student will be graduating from Kansas University on Sunday with a bachelor’s degree in cellular biology. And she’s a candidate with distinction.

She’s a Lawrence kid, she said. Her family moved here when she was 9, and she’s been here ever since.

The part about being a candidate for distinction, by the way, is a long way from her first go-around at KU, which she tried right out of high school in 1992. The f irst semester she did well. The second semester, they told her to straighten up. After the

“I was terrible,” she said. “I wasn’t focused. … I was just a kid. Boy, I wish I knew then what I know now.”

After leaving school, she met her longtime boyfriend, Tim Richards, a master mechanic.

They had a son, Ben, who’s now 14. She worked for years with children with special needs and operated a day care out of her home.

But she got tired of no sick days, no benefits and no vacation.

So she decided it was time for a change. She had been shadowing a veterinarian, and

KU to recycle students’ stuff within community

Where the recycling goes

cmetz@ljworld.com

“What goes up must come down” are the lyrics to a Blood, Sweat & Tears song. But it is also the unpleasant truth that many college students face at the end of school year.

All the laundry baskets and plastic tubs Kansas University students hauled into the residence halls at the beginning of the school year must be lugged away during the next few days.

From packets of ramen noodles to cinder blocks, much of what comes down are items that students no longer want. But instead of taking

them to the landfill, the KU Department of Student Housing and the Environmental Stewardship Program have created partnerships with local organizations to recycle the items.

Child molester sentenced to 25 years to life in prison

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

A Douglas County judge Thursday ordered a 69-yearold rural Lawrence man to serve 25 years to life in prison for molesting a 4-year-old Lawrence girl at a day care center in 2009.

“It is a harsh punishment for a terrible crime,” District Judge Sally Pokorny said after handing down the sentence to Richard Gonzalez.

A jury in January convicted Gonzalez of sexually abusing the girl at a rural Lawrence day care center. They found him guilty of aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child. Prosecutors had said the girl alleged the acts occurred several times over a CALL SOUND OFF six-week period.

If he ever gets out of prison, Gonzalez would be subject to lifetime supervision and electronic monitoring, the judge said.

1015 West 23rd St. Defense attorneys Branden Bell and Carl Folsom had asked Pokorny to sentence Gonzalez to serve 75 months in prison because of his age and lack of prior criminal history, arguing a life sentence was unconstitutional.

A doctor also testified for the defense Thursday that he would not consider Gonzalez to be a pedophile and would not be likely to reoffend.

ON THE RECORD

— District Judge Sally Pokorny But Pokorny said the Kansas Legislature had passed Jessica’s Law attaching potential life sentences to child sex crimes for a reason, mainly because child victims are “the most vulnerable people that have been preyed upon,” who often don’t have the vocabulary to speak out about the abuse.

“Not only are we looking at physical injuries,” Pokorny said, “we are looking at an ongoing potential psychological injury.”

Gonzalez lived on the property in 2009 that was home to the Miles of Smiles Child Daycare Center, operated by his daughter, southwest of Lawrence. According to Kansas Department of Health and Environment records, the day care center closed in July 2010.

Prosecutors during the four-day trial accused Gonzalez of molesting the girl during nap time in summer 2009 at the day care center. The girl, who had started attending the day care earlier that summer, was eventually examined at a hospital, and investigators began looking into the case.

Bell and Folsom had criticized the state’s DNA evidence during the trial and had argued the girl has an overactive imagination and that investigators improperly interviewed the girl, causing her to detail the allegations.

Gonzalez is expected to appeal the verdict and sentence.

Alleged attack on officer case goes to jury A Douglas County jury began deliberating Thursday afternoon in the case of a 20-yearold Lawrence man accused of punching and injuring Lawrence police officer Jonathon Evinger during a February incident near 26th and Iowa streets.

David Melton, a chief assistant district attorney, on Thursday accused Louis Galloway Jr. of throwing a “haymaker” punch and striking Evinger in the left eye around 5 a.m.

Feb. 26.

Evinger has not been able to return to regular patrol COURTS duty because of the injury affecting his vision.

Defense attorney Michael Clarke argued to jurors there was not enough evidence for them to determine that Galloway intentionally struck Evinger.

Prosecutors are asking jurors to convict Galloway of aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer for Evinger’s injuries and misdemeanors including assault and battery on another Lawrence officer, Stephen Ramsdell.

The officers were trying to arrest Galloway for driving with a suspended license, but Galloway disputed he was driving.

Melton on Thursday played a grainy and dark video recorded from Ramsdell’s dashboard camera in which an officer identified as Evinger can be seen falling down briefly and then later getting up to help Ramsdell try to subdue Galloway and his brother, who Evinger sprayed with pepper spray.

On the video Evinger later falls to the ground again. Doctors said he suffered a concussion as well.

Ramsdell said Galloway can be heard yelling at the officers on the video. Jurors began deliberating at 4:15 p.m.

Thursday before deciding to go home for the evening, and they will resume deliberating today.

the Beech aircraft company’s office along with all the other “Rosie the Riveters.”

“I was so aware of the war.

I get to honor the people who were important to me as a child,” he said.

The process of coming to the finished statue is a long one.

First, there’s research, which he likes despite hating history in high school.

Then there’s the planning, which he said can be cumbersome. He builds a mini version of his sculpture.

Next comes an armature, built up to rudimentary shapes with foam and perfected with clay.

Later he’ll make a mold, into which bronze melted at 2, 100-deg rees will be poured.

The statues are made in pieces, but throughout construction the seams disappear.

The last step is the patina, which gives the statue its brownish-green color. Brothers and his crew were finishing this step a few weeks before Memorial Day, before the soldier was set to make a

stop in Topeka.

The final product is one he hopes will be a figure viewers can relate to and understand.

“If you do something they can relate to, they appreciate it,” he said. “They’re all based on somebody.”

Rance Sackrider, executive director of Gage Park Memorial Inc., said “Homage” was supposed to be the centerpiece of its memorial.

The group has only 21 percent of the total cost of the statue raised, so he hopes the day-long display will get people interested in donating.

“Topeka has the chance to be in on something on the level of the Washington, D.C., monument,” he said.

The group is selling bricks in honor of veterans in the park, and the statue will be on display there from noon until sunset on May 29.

Then it’s off to Virginia, where the soldier will go on a granite base in Wine Street Memorial Park.

Brothers said he knows it’s cliché, but he wants the statue to convey that freedom isn’t free, and that people get hurt and sacrifice during war.

“He’s paying homage just like you or me, but we join him,” he said.

closing a portion of Massachusetts Street for a pedestrian mall. Several merchants said they have concerns that anytime Massachusetts Street is closed to traffic that business suffers.

But commissioners also heard an idea to consider closing a side street — Eighth and 10th streets were mentioned — as an alternative to a Massachusetts mall.

“It would give us something we don’t have, which is a central square,” said Jane Pennington, a downtown arts promoter. “It could become a place for events. It could become a venue for a number

of things.” ● Downtown appearance.

Several merchants expressed concern that graffiti and transients were creating a poor perception of downtown, especially to tourists. Walt Houk, a downtown property owner and operator of Travellers Inc., said downtown has great potential to be a tour bus stop, but he believes some of the downtown appearance issues would cause those buses to bypass the city. Other retailers said the city needs to do more to crack down on people asking for money on city streets, perhaps requiring a city license to conduct such solicitation. ● Some retailers urged the city — and the general public — to lobby federal legislators to pass legislation that would require all Internet retailers

and something called parasitology (that one featured the cute worms, she said).

In the middle of that semester, Kissinger’s grandmother went to the hospital and later died. She took it hard. She comes from a close family.

Then her father was diagnosed with liver cancer, and had a long battle that Kissinger and her two sisters helped him fight through because her parents were divorced. He died, too.

Kissinger said she’s paid for school using loans, mostly. Her family has sacrificed, living in a duplex instead of buying the land Richards always wanted, for example.

While at KU, Kissinger got connected with Kirsten Jensen, a professor who studies the cute worms, and Kissinger began to research them herself.

She noticed some similarities between a few of them, and presented her findings at a parasitology conference (after she learned how to use PowerPoint).

She practiced and practiced her speech while traveling to the conference, and was quite nervous. She was the sixth person to talk, she remembered, and everyone else seemed like they were bombing.

across town, when the students are moving out there is an awful lot of good-quality materials they are leaving behind. And these items were going into Dumpsters before we started recycling,” said Jennifer Wamelink, associate director of residence life.

In the lobby of each residence hall are collection sites for food and clothing, which happens to be the most donated item for recycling. Outside near the trash receptacle, students can take larger items to be recycled.

While the amount of stuff coming out of dorm rooms is always a little shocking, Wamelink is surprised by the students’ willingness to recycle.

“They really do want to be able to donate or recycle and not throw things away. If we make it easy for them, they are really good at following through and doing that,” Wamelink said.

If they didn’t have the program, Celeste Hoins, administrative manager with the Environmental Stewardship Program, said much of it would end up in the trash.

“Some (students) don’t have transportation or don’t have the time between finals and moving out to make an extra trip somewhere,” Hoins said. “Over the years, students had requested that it be a little more convenient to purge stuff at the end of the year.”

to collect sales tax. ● There was broad support from the crowd of about 50 for the city to again ask the university not to move athletic events to Kansas City.

“That costs us millions of dollars a year,” said Peter Zacharias, a downtown jewelry shop owner.

“Hear, hear,” said Schumm, who owns a downtown restaurant and bar.

Schumm said he plans to present a summary of the items discussed to the full City Commission.

“I think there are some issues we’ll want to have more discussion on,” Schumm said. “There were some good ideas presented.”

BRIEFLY Cause of N. Lawrence fire undetermined

Investigators of a fire that destroyed a North Lawrence home Wednesday morning have classified the cause of the fire as undetermined, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical Chief Mark Bradford said Thursday morning.

He had said fire investigators did not suspect anything suspicious in the cause of the fire that burned a house at 785 Maple St. and two recreational vehicles on the property. It is not uncommon for fire investigators to be unable to pinpoint a specific cause for a fire that causes heavy damage.

Two dachshund dogs perished in the fire. Family members said Wednesday one of the residents, Toni Flint, 18, suffered minor facial injuries while trying to leave the house and burns to her feet, but no other injuries to residents or firefighters occurred.

Fire crews were able to get the blaze under control in about 30 minutes. The fire caused an estimated $77,000 worth of damage to the house,

other contents and vehicles.

The house is expected to be a total loss, Bradford said.

The Douglas County Chapter of the American Red Cross provided money for food and clothing for the residents, who said they would be able to stay with friends and family members.

And when she got done, that room filled with professors was clapping. Clapping for her. One gave her a hug.

“I was on a scientific high,” she said.

She enjoys her research, and several of her professors and peers have suggested she become a professor — but she still wants to be a vet.

In the course of a two-hour conversation, it’s clear she’s still a little conflicted as to what she wants to do next. Her

bachelor’s degree alone doesn’t get her to many of the career paths she wants, but more school means more debt.

She’s not making the decision alone, she said. Richards and Ben will be involved, too.

“It was tough at times,” Richards said. “It’s tough with her going to school, just juggling everything else.”

But he encouraged her to go, he helped her through the tears and he celebrated her successes.

“I didn’t expect,” Richards said before taking a cautious look in Kissinger’s direction, “for her to do as good as she did.”

Benton work brings $1.9M at auction ————

Painting depicts ruinous 1951 Kansas City flood NEW YORK (A P ) — A poignant 1951 painting by American artist Thomas Hart Benton depicting a devastating flood in Kansas and Missouri sold for nearly $1.9 million on Thursday.

The price for “Flood Disaster” exceeded its pre-sale estimate of $1 . 2 million.

Sotheby’s did not disclose the buyer’s name.

The painting was created to highlight the extent of the damage caused when the Kansas and Missouri rivers swelled to 70 times their normal size on July 13, 1951 , killing 17 people and displacing more than 518,000 residents.

In a further effort to shed light on the flood victims’ suffering, the Missouri artist made a lithograph of the painting and sent a copy to each member of Congress urging them to expand a flood relief appropriations bill. It did not pass, and many

THE PAINTING “FLOOD DISASTER” by Thomas Hart Benton, shown in this picture provided by Sotheby’s, was auctioned Thursday for nearly $1.9 million. The painting was created to highlight the damage caused when the Kansas and Missouri rivers swelled to 70 times their normal size on July 13, 1951. of Benton’s lithographs wound up in the trash.

President Harry Truman

had estimated the damage at more than $1 billion, and reluctantly signed a $113 mil-

lion flood relief bill.

An Associated Press photo that ran in The New York Times on Oct. 15, 1951, shows Benton holding the lithograph while looking at his painting and initial sketch.

The painting shows two wrecked houses, a mangled car and a washing machine covered in mud on the banks of the Kansas River, looking toward Kansas City. A woman, man and child are walking up to their destroyed home.

Benton was Jackson Pollock’s teacher at the Art Students League of New York.

He was the son of a U.S. congressman and the grandnephew of a U.S. senator, who was his namesake. He was at the forefront of the Regionalist art movement with such artists as Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry.

Sotheby’s declined to identify the seller, saying only that the painting came from an East Coast collection.

SUSTAINABILITY

By George Diepenbrock

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Each year 200,000 buildings are demolished, sending 124 million tons of debris to the landfill.

These numbers were among the statistics Lynne Zollner, a historic resource administrator for the city of Lawrence, threw out as she made a case that preserving older buildings was just as sustainable as building new ones that had the latest in green technology.

“Preservation is sustainable.

It is green, it is sustainable, it is authentic,” Zollner said.

Zollner delivered her message to a group of about 20 inside the recently restored Carnegie building. Built in 1904 and expanded in 1936, the former library incorporated sustainable features, Zollner said.

The windows were sized to perfectly fit in between the book stacks, providing a plethora of natural light.

“How great that in 1936, they were thinking about sustainable design,” Zollner said.

She went on to list energyefficient features often found in older buildings, such as

homes built to take advantage of sunlight, placement of hallways, transoms above doorways and windows to allow air to circulate and oldgrowth wood that could last for 100 years or more.

“There is a lot of building knowledge that we need to go back and recapture,” Zollner said.

Zollner named three ways that historic preservation is sustainable: ● Historic buildings can promote civic pride and provide a sense of history and place, making it culturally sustainable. ● Rehabilitating historic buildings creates local jobs for craftsman and general contractors, the money stays in the local economy, and, over time, it can save the owner money compared with using new materials. Therefore, it is economically sustainable. ● Saving historic buildings is environmentally sustainable because it prevents materials from going to the landfill and doesn’t create the greenhouse gases that are produced from new building materials.

Lawrence Chamber of Commerce leaders say there are many people in Douglas County who put their lives on the line every day for residents.

And now they want to bring more public recognition to law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency medical services personnel annually with the new Valor Public Safety Awards Program.

“We are so proud to bring the Valor Public Safety Awards to Lawrence. It’s a very personal way to say thank you for a service we often take for granted,” said Cindy Yulich, the chamber’s chairwoman.

The chamber announced the new program presented

by NIC Corporation on Thursday at a news conference with Yulich, chamber President and CEO Tom Kern, Chief Mark Bradford of Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical, Lawrence Police Chief Tarik Khatib and Douglas County Sheriff Ken McGovern.

mar Golf Course.

Any public safety workers in Douglas County, including township firefighters and off icers, f iref ighters and medics in Baldwin City, Eudora and Lecompton are eligible for the awards.

Kern said he saw success through a similar program in Fairfax County in Virginia before he came to Lawrence, and he hoped that after several years enough funds could be built up that the scholarships could be supported by an endowment. More information is available at www.lawrencechamber.com.

Kern said the program was an effort to recognize highprofile, heroic efforts, such as fire rescues, and even acts that might fly under the radar, such as a corrections officer who helped an inmate who is having problems.

“Any time you can award or recognize people for going above and beyond service for the community, I think that’s really spectacular,” Bradford said.

Departments will make nominations, and the winners will be selected by a committee of community representatives and public safety officials.

“I think it becomes a very good opportunity on an annual basis just to be reminded that we are out there,” Khatib said. “We are part of what makes the community safe, and this lets us celebrate a night where we recognize the personnel doing this.”

G-Ball — golf’s version of TBall — is coming to Lawrence.

Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department is one of only 15 agencies nationwide that received a $12,000 grant from the National Recreation and Park Association to offer a new program called SNAG (Starting New at Golf) G-Ball.

About 200 agencies applied.

The goal is to get children, ages 5 and 6, outside and interested in golf.

In G-Ball, kids use a bigger, Velcro-type ball that sticks to wickets. The equipment is colorful, and they learn golf shots like chipping and putting.

“It’s really fun and very engaging,” said Nancy Logan, senior manager of national partnerships with

Fire breaks out on KU’s Edwards Campus Fire broke out early Thursday in a building under construction on Kansas University’s Edwards Campus in Overland Park.

The fire was reported at 12:30 a.m. Thursday on the roof of the Business, Engineering, Science and Technology building, a section of the campus that is under construction.

Overland Park fire crews brought the blaze under control within 45 minutes. No injuries were reported, and the campus was open Thursday.

Ex-IMF chief gets $1M bail in sex assault case

By Jennifer Peltz and Tom Hays Associated Press Writers

N E W Y O R K — Over the objections of prosecutors, a judge agreed Thursday to free former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn from jail on $1 million bail on the condition he be confined to a New York apartment under armed guard while he awaits trial on attemptedrape charges.

The 62-year-old French banker and diplomat briefly wore an expression of relief after Supreme Court Justice Michael J. Obus announced his decision in a packed courtroom. Later, Strauss-Kahn blew a kiss toward his wife.

The ruling didn’t immediately free Strauss-Kahn from the city’s bleak Rikers Island jail. Authorities need time to review the security arrangements involved in his house arrest, which lawyers said would be at an apartment rented by his wife.

The lawyer who represented Strauss-Kahn at the hearing, William Taylor, called the ruling “a great relief for the family.”

“He’s going back to Rikers tonight and we expect him to be released tomorrow,” he said.

Strauss-Kahn will not only have to post the full $1 million but will also have to take out a $5 million insurance bond.

A trial date was not immediately set.

FORMER INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND LEADER Dominique Strauss-Kahn listens to proceedings in his case Thursday in New York state Supreme Court. A judge set bail at $1 million Thursday, and approved an elaborate arrangement under which the 62-year-old diplomat and banker would be confined to a private apartment in Manhattan and monitored by armed guards.

The banker is accused of attacking a 32-year-old housekeeper Saturday at his $3,000-a-night hotel suite.

The West African immigrant told police that he chased her down a hallway, forced her to perform oral sex and tried to remove her stockings.

He spent nearly a week behind bars — most of that at Rikers, after a judge denied him bail on Monday. At that hearing, prosecutors warned that Strauss-Kahn might flee to France and escape justice in the U.S. like film director

Roman Polanski.

This time, Strauss-Kahn went before a different judge, and also offered to place himself under house arrest. Obus added the requirement that he post the $5 million insurance.

The bail decision came less than a day after Strauss-Kahn resigned as managing director of the International Monetary Fund, the powerful organization that makes emergency loans to countries in financial crisis.

In his resignation letter, he denied the allegations against

him but said he would quit in order to “protect this institution which I have served with honor and devotion” and to “devote all my strength, all my time and all my energy to proving my innocence.”

Also Thursday, prosecutors announced that StraussKahn had been formally indicted on the sex charges.

Without the indictment, authorities would have been unable to detain him for longer than a week.

Strauss-Kahn didn’t speak during the court proceedings, but Taylor said his state of mind was “much better now than before we started.”

Prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office had argued against his release, citing the violent nature of the alleged offenses and saying his wealth and international connections would make it easy for him to flee.

“The proof against him is substantial. It is continuing to grow every day as the investigation continues,” Assistant District Attorney John “Artie” McConnell told the judge.

“We have a man who, by his own conduct in this case, has shown a propensity for impulsive criminal conduct.”

Similar house-arrest arrangements have been made for other high-profile defendants in the city, most notably Bernard Madoff, the Ponzi scheme mastermind who stole billions.

KU’s federal relations director leaving Staff Reports

Keith Yehle, director of federal relations for Kansas University, is joining Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, N.M., as its manager of congressional affairs.

Yehle joined KU in June 2005 as director of government affairs in Washington, D.C., and Topeka. In recent years his concentration was Washington.

Sandia Laboratories develops science-based technologies that support national security. It has 8,200 employees at its Albuquerque facility.

Yehle expressed mixed feelings about his departure from KU but said he “looks forward to the exciting opportunities with Sandia, working with highly skilled and motivated scientists, engineers and a laboratory dedicated to protecting this

nation’s security and helping this country maintain its science and engineering superiority.”

Before joining KU, the Overland Park native was legislative director to U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., developing policy, legislative and political positions on issues ranging from appropriations to science and technology.

He also served as Roberts’ liaison in Kansas with local governments, state agencies

Flight center would honor Kan. family killed in plane crash SCOTT CITY (AP) — Heartbroken by the death of a friend and his family in the crash of a private plane, three western Kansas men are raising money to build a flight training and education center as a memorial.

Dylan Spencer, 35, of Scott City, was piloting a small plane when it crashed into a muddy cornfield three miles north of Topeka on April 22.

His wife, Amy, 34, and their two daughters, 7-year-old Chase and 5-year-old Ansley, also died in the crash. They were on their way to visit Amy Spencer’s family in northeastern Kansas to celebrate Easter.

The six-seat plane missed its first attempt for landing at Philip Billard Airport and circled around for a second attempt when it crashed. No final report has been issued on the cause, but a preliminary report by the National

Transportation Safety Board report said witnesses saw the landing gear retract and the plane go back into the air before it went into a steep left turn and hit the ground, creating a deep crater.

Spencer — an experienced pilot — had been in contact with the airport’s control tower, but there was no distress call.

“We don’t know what happened. Whatever happened could have happened to me,” said Brian Vulgamore, who is raising money with fellow flying enthusiast Andy Hineman and Scott Community Foundation director Ryan Roberts to create the Spencer Flight and Education Center at the Scott City Municipal Airport.

The center would feature a flight simulator that would allow pilots to train for situations that can’t be replicated in the sky for safety reasons, the Garden City Telegram

reported. Pilots or pilot students would be able to practice flying various aircraft in different locations in a variety of different weather simulations. The center would have a classroom and library.

“We’re not saying this simulator would have prevented whatever happened. But we do want to move on from it,” Vulgamore said.

If the flight simulator can save one family from what relatives of the Spencers are going through, the effort will be worth every penny, Vulgamore and Hineman said.

More than $100,000 has been pledged so far toward the project, which the men estimate will take $250,000 to get started. The proposal is for a 40-by-40-foot building to be built at the airport; if the project goes as planned, it could be finished by the end of the year, Hineman said.

Kansas Highway Patrol troopers are looking for more information about a Wednesday morning crash south of Lawrence that killed a 37-yearold Ottawa man.

Trooper Dennis Shoemaker said Thursday morning that he was still trying to determine what Terry S. Star had done in the 24 hours leading up to the crash. Star was found dead at 5:50 a.m. Wednesday in a vehicle that had rolled over in a field just west of U.S. Highway 59 about five miles south of Lawrence.

Shoemaker said troopers did not find any evidence of alcohol being a factor in the crash.

A brief Kansas Highway Patrol report Wednesday night said Star was driving north on U.S. Highway 59 in a two-door Ford Escort that had apparently drift-

ed off the west side of the road, struck a driveway embankment and then went airborne and rolled at least once before coming to rest on its wheels facing southwest in the field.

Star was wearing a seat belt. The top of the vehicle sustained heavy damage.

Shoemaker said troopers did not know the exact time the accident occurred because they hadn’t found any witnesses.

The stretch of the highway is relatively flat and open, Shoemaker said. Troopers asked anyone who was driving between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. in the area near North 600 Road, south of Pleasant Grove, to call KHP dispatchers at 785-296-6908.

In speech, Obama embraces Palestine borders Netanyahu calls president’s remark ‘indefensible’

By Ben Feller Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — Exasperated by stalled Middle East peace talks in a season of tumultuous change, President Barack Obama jolted close ally Israel Thursday by embracing the Palestinians’ terms for drawing the borders of their new nation next door. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel rejected the idea as “indefensible” on the eve of his vital White House meeting with Obama.

The U.S. president said that an independent Palestine should be based on 1967 borders — before the Six Day War in which Israel occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza — as adjusted by possible land swaps agreed upon by both sides. He said Israel can never live in true peace as a Jewish state if it insists on “permanent occupation.”

Obama’s effort to salvage a peace effort that is in shambles was a major change in tactics for a president running out of patience and reasons to be subtle. The IsraeliPalestinian stalemate has remained immune to the popular uprisings and historic drives for freedom that have swept much of the region.

He pushed both sides to accept his starting point — borders for Palestine, security for Israel — and get back to solving a deadlock “that has grinded on and on and on.”

In a sweeping review of recent uprisings and authoritarian crackdowns across the Arab world, Obama was also unsparing in his words for the Palestinian leadership, repudiating its pursuit of unilateral statehood through the United Nations and questioning its alliance with a Hamas faction bent on Israel’s

“At a time when the people of the Middle East and North Africa are casting off the burdens of the past, the drive for a lasting peace that ends the conflict and resolves all claims is more urgent than ever,” Obama said, playing the rapid change of the past six months against a standoff that has stymied the Mideast for decades.

More broadly, before a polite diplomatic audience at the State Department, Obama sought to clarify the U.S. role toward a part of the world undergoing a transformation. He implored the American people to see that it is worth devoting U.S. might and money to help stabilize a dangerous region and help people fighting for freedom.

“There must be no doubt that the United States of America welcomes change that advances self-determination and opportunity,” the president said. “Yes, there will be perils that accompany this moment of promise.

But after decades of accepting the world as it is in the region, we have a chance to pursue the world as it should be.”

It was Obama’s explicit endorsement of the 1967 borders that changed the dynamic.

community and even past Israeli governments have endorsed the idea of an agreement based on the 1967 lines, but Obama’s new emphasis was a clear prodding for Israel to act.

The way Obama put it means the U.S. now accepts 1967 lines, with land swaps, as the basis for the borders of a Palestinian state — and not just that such a result would be the desired outcome of negotiations, as had been the U.S. stand.

The United States insists, too, that Israel end up with a safe, secure state without fear of attack from Palestinians.

In a cool statement released late Thursday in Jerusalem, Netanyahu rejected a full withdrawal from the West Bank, saying the 1967 lines would leave major Jewish settlements outside Israel. It was unclear whether Obama’s stand would be enough to persuade the Palestinians to drop their push for U.N. recognition of their statehood.

In the run-up to the president’s speech, the White House had sought to downplay the role of the Mideast peace standoff in his address, emphasizing instead other elements such as his proposed financial support for Egypt and Tunisia, two nations that have risen up and embraced democracy.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Amazon.com Inc. on Thursday said that, after less than four years of selling electronic books, it’s now selling more of them than printed books.

The online retailer said that since April 1, it has sold 105 ebooks for every 100 printed books, including printed books for which there is no electronic edition. The comparison excludes free e-books, which would tip the scales further if they were included.

Printed books include both hardcover and paperback books. Amazon said in July that e-book sales had outstripped hardcover sales. It’s now selling three times as many e-books as it did a year ago.

Analysts estimate that Amazon accounts for about twothirds of U.S. e-book sales.

In reminder of ’90s, LinkedIn has big first day

By Michael Liedtke Associated Press Writer

SAN FRANCISCO — There was an unmistakable echo of the dot-com boom Thursday on Wall Street.

LinkedIn, a trailblazer in the online networking craze, went public with a roaring stock offering. Within minutes, shares were trading at twice the value set by the company.

Buyers crowded the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and financial news networks flashed LinkedIn’s stock price urgently all day.

By the closing bell, the company had a market value of $9 billion, the highest for any Internet company since Google had its initial public offering seven years ago. Millionaires and even one billionaire were made, at least on paper.

The stock, issued at $45, went as high as $122.70 just before noon and closed at $94.25 on a trading volume of 30 million shares. All this for a company that skeptics say amounts to an online Rolodex, a place on the Internet for professionals to post resumes and connect with one another and potential employers.

It was enough to remind some people on Wall Street of the heady late 1990s and the debuts of companies like

Netscape Communications — and, more infamously, long-forgotten names like Pets.com and Webvan.

Investors wondered whether LinkedIn will be a precursor to another financial frenzy in Silicon Valley.

“I definitely think this will be a catalyst,” said longtime technology investor and analyst Michael Moe, CEO of Global Silicon Valley Asset Management. “Investors who like growth stocks have been stuck in a desert for a long time, and now it’s like they have found this great pitcher of water.”

LinkedIn is already worth $9 billion, or 18 times its projected revenue this year.

Major Internet companies, including Google, trade at an average of about five times projected revenue, according to an analysis by Capital IQ. Using another measure, price-to-earnings ratio, which compares a company’s market value with its profit, LinkedIn finished the day at a staggering 554 — a number reminiscent of the late 1990s tech bubble. By comparison, the average P/E ratio of technology companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index like Google and Apple is 15.

Two-thirds of LinkedIn’s revenue comes from the fees it charges to help companies find and hire workers.

But the address only served to underscore how central the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is to the stability of the whole region and the political interests of the United States.

Obama sought to give perspective to a five-month period in which thousands have died in protests for human rights, two countries’ leaders have been toppled, others are teetering, the U.S. has been drawn into an armed conflict in Libya and America has launched a stunning, successful mission to find and kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistan.

The president tried to minimize bin Laden’s reach even in death, saying his al-Qaida vision of destruction had already been deemed a “dead end” by those wanting a better life.

Moving country by country, Obama offered his toughest words yet for Syrian President Bashar Assad, in whom the U.S. has lost hope as a reformer given his government’s bloody crackdown on dissidents. Obama did not call for Assad to step down but did accuse him of murdering his people. “The Syrian people have shown their courage in demanding a transition,” Obama said.

“President Assad now has a choice: He can lead that transition or get out of the way.”

GOP blocks Obama’s judicial nominee WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama lost his first vote on a judicial nominee Thursday, as Senate Republicans derailed the nomination of a liberal law professor who leveled acerbic attacks against two conservative nominees to the Supreme Court.

Democrats fell short of the 60 votes they need to end a filibuster and give Goodwin Liu an up-or-down vote on his nomination to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Liu, a 40-year-old legal scholar at the University of California’s Berkeley law school, could someday be a dream Supreme Court nominee for liberals.

The vote was 52-43 to end debate, leaving Democrats eight votes short.

The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., had been pushing for a vote on Liu, who had been nominated three times for the appellate post.

Republicans have made Liu their prime example of a judicial nominee who, in their view, has been so unabashedly

liberal in his writings and statements that he does not deserve an up-ordown vote.

To most Democrats and liberal Liu backers, Liu is the type of nominee they want for a lifetime appointment on the federal bench. He supports liberal social issues such as gay marriage and affirmative action. He was given a top rating of unanimously well-qualified by the American Bar Association.

He was a Rhodes Scholar and clerked for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

He received numerous awards for academic and legal achievements, including the highest teaching award at his law school.

To most Republicans and conservative allies, he’s a judicial activist who made insulting remarks about the Supreme Court nominations of John Roberts, now the chief justice, and Samuel Alito.

Giver and taker, ‘Mighty Mississippi’ never tamed

By Allen G. Breed Associated Press Writer

Abraham Lincoln called it “the Father of Waters”; 18thcentury English novelist Frederick Marryat deemed it a “vile sewer” — long before our industrial revolution turned it into one. The American Indians, says author Lee Sandlin, imagined it as “a giant sleeping snake that would wake up every seven years and attack whoever was alongside it.”

Flowing naturally or overflowing menacingly, it is impossible to overestimate the Mississippi River’s importance to the American economy and psyche. And right now, engorged beyond the limits of our control, the river is awake and on the attack.

Says Clyde Dufour, a fish wholesaler in Simmesport, La., northwest of Baton Rouge: “The river been making our lives.” But, he adds, “It ain’t our friend right now.”

If the Appalachian Mountains are the nation’s spine, then the Mississippi is its aorta. Winding through 10 states on its 2, 350-mile course, it carries nearly half of all U.S. inland waterborne commerce, generates megawatts of power, and produces a bounty of protein from catfish to bowfin caviar.

No one has put a dollar figure on all of the jobs directly dependent on the Mississippi.

But when a barge collision and fuel spill closed a 100-mile stretch of the river in 2008, the Port of New Orleans estimated the cost to the U.S. economy at $275 million a day.

On an average day, the river carries about 20 “tows” with 30 barges each, with each of those barges representing about 60 tractortrailers, says Bob Anderson, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Vicksburg, Miss. About 500 million

A TANKER SHIP TRAVELS along the Mississippi River near downtown New Orleans in 2005.

Flowing naturally or overflowing menacingly, it is impossible to underestimate the Mississippi River’s importance to the American economy and psyche. tons of cargo is barged through the river’s mouth each year, he says.

“We call it ‘America’s Superhighway,”’ he says.

According to the Corps, 250 tributaries drain into the Mississippi from a 1.25 million-square-mile basin that gathers water from 41 percent of the continental United States. The name comes from a Chippewa Indian word that translates roughly as “very big river.”

Spanish conquistador Hernando De Soto, believed to be the first European to explore the river, dubbed it “Rio Grande” after entering its stream in 1541. When he died a year later, legend has it, he was wrapped in blankets, weighted down with sand and buried beneath its muddy waters.

Unfettered access to the Mississippi has been crucial since the nation’s infancy.

When the Spanish revoked Americans’ access to the port of New Orleans in 1802,

Thomas Jefferson dispatched special envoy James Monroe to Napoleon’s France for negotiations that would eventually result in the Louisiana Purchase.

“All eyes, all hopes, are now fixed on you,” the president wrote to Monroe in January 1803, “for on the event of this mission depends the future destinies of this republic.”

It was during two flatboat trips down the Mississippi that a young Abraham Lincoln got his first full understanding of the evils of slavery. Years later, on July 4, 1863, it was Ulysses S. Grant’s capture of Vicksburg and reopening of the river that restored President Lincoln’s flagging hopes of saving the union.

“The Father of Waters,” he wrote to a confidant, “again goes unvexed to the sea.”

The great river’s headwaters are a glacial lake northwest of St. Paul, Minn. Where it empties from Lake Itasca, the “Mighty Mississippi” is

only about 20 feet wide and 3 feet deep — “just a small crick,” says Dave Evenwoll.

But that’s enough to draw up to 6,000 visitors a year to Bert’s Cabins, the resort he and wife Pat run at Lake Itasca State Park.

“We’ve had people from every continent practically, other than maybe Antarctica,” says Pat Evenwoll, whose father opened the resort in 1939.

Adds Dave: “If it wasn’t for the river, we wouldn’t be here.”

The Evenwolls say many of their visitors come with plans of canoeing the Mississippi from its source to the Gulf of Mexico. But it is traffic of a much larger variety that dominates the waterway — and makes it so vital to the nation’s economy.

Rivers are living things.

And the thing about a stream is that it always seeks the path of least resistance to its destination.

By the late 1800s, the Mis-

sissippi was wanting to jog to the left, bypassing the Louisiana capital of Baton Rouge and the busy port of New Orleans. That’s when the Corps stepped in.

In his book, “Life on the Mississippi,” Mark Twain observed: “The Military Engineers have taken upon their shoulders the job of making the Mississippi over again — a job transcended in size by only the original job of creating it.”

After 130 years of building locks and dams, levees and floodwalls, canals and spillways, we have corralled the Mississippi to the point, says Sandlin, where “it’s almost entirely an artificial creation.”

We have felt relatively safe building along its banks. And that is what raises the stakes so high when the river doesn’t do what we want it to.

“More than Shirts”

Associated Press Writer

LONDON — After Rob Summers was paralyzed below the chest in a car accident in 2006, his doctors told him he would never stand again.

They were wrong.

Despite intensive physical therapy for three years, Summers’ condition hadn’t improved. So in 2009, doctors implanted an electrical stimulator onto the lining of his spinal cord to try waking up his damaged nervous system.

Within days, Summers, 25, stood without help. Months later, he wiggled his toes, moved his knees, ankles and hips, and was able to take a few steps on a treadmill.

“It was the most incredible feeling,” said Summers, of

Portland, Ore. “After not being able to move for four years, I thought things could finally change.”

Still, despite his renewed optimism, Summers can’t stand when he’s not in a therapy session with the stimulator turned on, and he normally gets around in a wheelchair. Doctors are currently limiting his use of the device to several hours at a time.

His case is described in a paper published today in the journal, Lancet. The research was paid for by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

For years, certain people with incomplete spinal cord injuries, who have some control of their limbs, have experienced some improvement

after experiments to electrically stimulate their muscles. But such progress had not been seen before in someone with a complete spinal cord injury.

“This is not a cure, but it could lead to improved functionality in some patients,” said Gregoire Courtine, head of experimental neurorehabilitation at the University of Zurich. He was not connected to Summers’ case. Courtine cautioned Summers’ recovery didn’t make any difference to the patient’s daily life and that more research was needed to help paralyzed people regain enough mobility to make a difference in their normal routines.

The electrical stimulator surgeons implanted onto Summers’ spinal cord is usually used to relieve pain and

can cost up to $20,000. Summers’ doctors implanted it lower than normal, onto the very bottom of his vertebrae.

“The stimulator sends a general signal to the spinal cord to walk or stand,” said Dr. Susan Harkema, rehabilitation research director at the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center in Louisville and the Lancet study’s lead author.

Harkema and her colleagues were surprised Summers was able to voluntarily move his legs. “That tells us we can access the circuitry of the nervous system, which opens up a whole new avenue for us to address paralysis,” Harkema said. She said prescribing drugs might also speed recovery.

“The Shot”

Earliest mammals sniffed way to smarts W A S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — The unusually large brains of mammals apparently didn’t evolve so that we could ponder philosophy — but so we could sniff our way to success.

A new analysis of some of the earliest mammals and mammal-like creatures shows their complex brains evolved in stages, starting with the regions that handle the sense of smell.

The tiny creatures that evolved into today’s mammals “exploited a world of information dominated to an unprecedented degree by odors and scents,” report researchers led by Timothy B. Rowe, a paleontologist at the University of Texas.

“If I had to tell a freshman class what it means to become a mammal, it means to become a superb smeller,” Rowe said in a telephone interview.

Enlargement of the brain’s smell-sensing region was followed by upgrades in the brain areas that deal with touch sensitivity from body hair, and then parts providing improved movement, Rowe and colleagues report in today’s edition of the journal Science.

Among mammals, today’s humans have traded away some of that ability to smell for improved vision and hearing, Rowe observed, but we

still have close companions called dogs who heavily exploit the sense of smell.

As the mammal brain evolved, the area involved in sensory response “underwent particularly spectacular development,” said R. Glenn Northcutt of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who was not part of Rowe’s team. The studies “provide the first solid evidence of the stages of mammalian brain evolution,” Northcutt said.

The report is “very significant because it outlines, for

the first time, the evolutionary history of major brain regions in the closest relatives of mammals, and early mammals,” said Hans-Dieter Sues, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History.

Scientists think these tiny creatures were active at dusk or during the night, said Sues, who was not part of the research team. “Thus, smell and tactile senses, but also improved hearing, would have been really important to these animals.”

Mammals are warm-blooded animals with backbones, and with females that have milk-secreting organs to feed their young. They include humans, apes, many fourlegged animals, whales, dolphins and bats.

Rowe studied the brains of several examples of Morganucodon and Hadrocodium using CT scans to produce images of the inside of the skulls of the animals. The creatures lived about 190 million years ago when mammals were just beginning to evolve. Morganucodon, which weighed in at less than an ounce, and the even smaller Hadrocodium, existed in a transition period between pre-mammals and the earliest mammals.

Barclays Capital estimates that nearly 20 percent — 3.5 million barrels a day — of the country’s total oil refining capacity is located “within a floodable distance” of the river, with more than 14 percent located adjacent to the Mississippi.

Gambling along its shores is worth up to $13 million a month in tax revenues, says Allen Godfrey, deputy director of the Mississippi Gaming Commission. And that doesn’t take into account local sales taxes on the 6,700-plus casino hotel rooms on the river, or the income of about 13,000 employees who work the riverfront casinos, he says.

The recent historic floods have proven another of Twain’s observations: “The Mississippi River will always have its own way; no engineering skill can persuade it to do otherwise ...”

Unhappy exit The resignation of Kansas Board of Regents Chairman Gary Sherrer paints an unsettling picture for a very important board.

G

ary Sherrer’s shocking resignation from the Kansas Board of Regents was a sad note on which to end a long and distinguished career of public service to the state of Kansas.

At the beginning of the regents’ Wednesday meeting, Sherrer delivered a brief statement announcing his resignation. In the statement, Sherrer cited what he saw as an “atmosphere of mutual disrespect and distrust between many board members and myself.” At the conclusion of the statement, he wished Kansas higher education leaders well and walked out the door.

Later, Sherrer told reporters he was upset that fellow board members refused to appoint him to lead a search committee to find a new president for Emporia State University, his alma mater. He said he had fond memories of the school and, “It meant a lot to me to chair it.” However, he added, “a few people (on the board) were adamantly opposed and rejected my seeking that role.”

Although his four-year term expired at the end of June, Sherrer didn’t want to wait. “I am getting too old to be in places I don’t want to be, with people I don’t want to be with,” said the 70-year-old Sherrer.

There may have been some good reasons not to put Sherrer in charge of the ESU search, and, despite his disappointment, it’s unlikely Sherrer would have made such a dramatic exit based solely on the search committee issue. In fact, Sherrer alluded to “a rather negative situation” on the board, adding, “It escalated, and I’m just tired of it.”

Other board members expressed shock at Sherrer’s departure, saying they thought the board was getting along just fine. It’s hard to believe that was — or is — the case.

It hasn’t been an easy year for the regents, dealing with tight budgets and politics. For instance, in another trust-related issue, Gov. Sam Brownback made a major point of not allowing the regents to administer the $5 million approved for cancer, animal health and aviation research at Kansas University, Kansas State and Wichita State. Instead, he insisted the money go through the Kansas Department of Commerce. It’s easy to see how such a contentious atmosphere could wear down the regents chairman.

Sherrer has been a dedicated public servant who served the state well as lieutenant governor and commerce secretary under Gov. Bill Graves. He was a committed and engaged member of the Board of Regents and was able to list a solid record of accomplishments as part of his resignation message.

Sherrer was one of three regents whose terms end on June 30; all three were eligible for reappointment. The governor now will have to appoint at least one new regent and perhaps three. As we’ve noted before, these appointments are extremely important to higher education and the state. Sherrer’s departure only highlights the need for Brownback to choose carefully as he chooses the regents who will guide higher education in the state.

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for May 20, 1911: “Although only about 500 old soldiers marched in the parade arranged in YEARS their honor this morning, the boys in AGO faded blue were roundly cheered as IN 1911 they hobbled bravely down the street keeping only a semblance of step to the martial strains of music which three bands and two drum corps furnished. The old wartime melodies which in former years were sufficient to straighten the old veterans and bring a firm elastic tread to replace their age-shortened step, seems to have lost its potency. No longer can the familiar strains bring back the indomitable spirit of the old fellows.... One of the features of the parade this morning was a group of thirty-two survivors of the terrible battle of Shiloh.

They marched in an individual squad and at their approach every hat among the spectators was doffed.”

desperation of the French army retreating in disarray at Waterloo in 1815: “Sauve qui peut!” Save yourself if you can!

The 1815 analogy is useful because it reminds us that an old structure of power — a hegemonic system dominated by the United States — is coming apart as the world changes, and that a new framework will have to be built to maintain stability. In 1815, that process of adjustment led to the Congress of Vienna and a new security architecture — a woolly but important topic to which I will return.

We should think twice about indiscriminatingly slashing school budgets. More than ever, we need education in new and important ways. Here are two examples.

1. The ongoing economic news is mixed. Stock market and employment figures rise but housing prices continue their frightening slide Five million homes have been lost to foreclosure since 2006 and some foresee another three million in the coming three or four years. Retirement funds and savings plans are volatile.

We need to always remember that these data are made up of personal stories, the real lives of our friends and neighbors.

This already difficult situation is compounded by uncertainty.

The experts, pundits, commentators, and average investors are befuddled. No one knows what the future holds.

Responsibility for calming the waters rests primarily with government and business. But one lesson of the past few years is that we consumers need to better understand where to invest our money and the financial risks we take.

point: After 1989, Eastern Europe could look to the European Union for a political-economic model, and to NATO for security guaranties. After the Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1918, the British and French mandates briefly administered the pieces of the Ottoman quilt; and when those mandates ended after 1945, a rising America offered hegemony, and a rising Israel imposed constraints.

Right now, we’re between two systems. The old one that accommodated Mubarak and Gaddafi is finished, but there’s no successor yet. In this political vacuum, leaders are jockeying for position — often going in two directions at once. Jordan’s king sympathizes with democratic reformers in Bahrain, for example, but he’s also moving to join the Saudi-led Gulf Cooperation Council that sent troops to Bahrain. Saudi King Abdullah is so peeved at America’s abandonment of Mubarak that he sent Prince Bandar as an emissary to China and other Asian nations to seek new allies. But the Saudis still work closely with the CIA against terrorism and with Centcom on military security.

In addressing all this upheaval, President Obama must focus on

basic values: How can the United States support nonviolent change, and oppose the regimes that are using violence to suppress their people? How can the old narrative of rage that was Osama bin Laden become a new narrative of hope and selfreliance?

If Obama wants to take on a big, gnarly topic, he should ponder the analogy of 1815. That was the subject of Henry Kissinger’s doctoral dissertation (published in 1954 as “A World Restored”) and the topic is newly relevant.

As Kissinger explained, the farsighted statesmen of the Congress of Vienna found a way to reconcile the interests of the status-quo powers of the day (Britain and Austria) with the rising powers (post-revolutionary France, Prussia and Russia).

Power abhors a vacuum, such as the one that exists now. We may be entering a “post-American” age in the Middle East, but that doesn’t mean that the United States shouldn’t be working with its allies to create a more inclusive security architecture that’s worthy of this time of transformation. A world restored, indeed.

legitimacy; others (Moammar Gaddafi in Libya and, lately, Bashar al-Assad in Syria) are using military force to brutalize their people into submission.

The brutalizers may gain a few weeks’ breathing space through intimidation, but Assad and Gaddafi are likely to fail. They have delegitimized themselves by firing on their own citizens.

The backdrop of this frantic self-preservation is the breakup of America’s reluctant empire.

The kings and presidents (not to mention people in the streets) saw in Egypt that the United States wouldn’t rescue its clients.

Exhausted by Iraq and Afghanistan (and perhaps also made wiser by these wars), America wasn’t in the business of saving autocratic dictators.

America’s abandonment of President Hosni Mubarak shocked Israelis, Saudis and other status-quo powers, but it was actually just an admission of reality. When you have a million people in Tahrir Square who are prepared to die for a cause, no foreign or domestic power can stop them.

America deserves high praise for the way it handled Osama bin Laden. It was a striking victory for the war on terrorism and also displayed sensitivity to other cultures. His burial was both appropriate and necessary, and showed respect for the more than 1 billion Muslims around the globe. It explains, in no small way, why Muslim criticism was muted.

Clearly, we now live in a world where it is essential that understanding other cultures and being sensitive about differences becomes part of our daily lives.

With technology and new forms of mass communication, we have immediate access to messages sent around the globe.

Stable and productive government and business relationships in the modern world will be increasingly based on knowledge and understanding of other cul-

tures. There are few excuses for cultural gaffes on the unforgiving international front.

This need for cultural understanding is equally important within our nation. A new report by the College Board tells a startling and compelling story: more than 15 million children of immigrants in our schools, a number that has doubled since 1990; more than 5 million English language learner students, speaking 400 languages; and 12.5 percent of the total population is foreign born.

While the United States has had significant immigration since the 16th century, the world has changed in countless ways in the last 400 years. Access to transportation and information make us a nation of many cultures, every one contributing to a common set of shared principles.

And where do we gain an understanding of these principles? Where do we learn about the many differences and similarities?

Where do we learn about foreign cultures?

There are a growing number of changes in our world and relevant education is, in a word, essential.

The matter is time-sensitive. Let’s think long and hard about cutting education.

Fond memory To the editor: What a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Wakarusa Valley Elementary School’s 50th anniversary reception on May 1 was well attended. Fun to see everyone again.

Both of my daughters attended “Waukie.” My oldest was in the first class, and both have fond memories of their years there.

It’s sad to see this great school close. Seems to me a very questionable decision.

Marg Hadl, Lawrence

Athletic balance To the editor: To a town with a major educational institution where academics are often defined as “a cosmetic front to a sports enterprise,” I offer the following quote from the latest Yale Alumni magazine: “Because Yale and the rest of the Ivy League schools don’t give athletic scholarships, they’ve been spared the growth of the giant sports operations that have warped the academic missions of many other schools. Ivy League schools have no coaches making multimilliondollar salaries, no endorsement deals, no corruption scandals in recruiting or grading. Above all, their athletes are students, here to learn and to graduate. They are not preprofessionals who see college classes as a bureaucratic inconvenience.”

Teens forum looks at tobacco issues HAYS — Teenagers from across Kansas will gather in Hays to discuss the danger of tobacco and learn about new tobacco products being marketed to their age group.

The Reality Check Tour will be held Saturday at Fort Hays State. It is sponsored by the Tobacco Free Kansas Coalition.

One of the new products being marketed to teens is tobacco sticks. They are available in many Kansas convenience stores.

The coalition’s youth outreach coordinator, Erica Anderson, says the flavored tobacco sticks, marketed by Phillip Morris under the Marlboro and Skoal labels, resemble toothpicks and are coated with finely milled tobacco.

The Hays Daily News reported that the coalition says it wants to make youths aware that tobacco companies are trying to get around anti-smoking laws and higher taxes by marketing these products.

Jaill Tonight’s show at the Jackpot, 943 Mass., is impressive even among an evening that features The Magentlemen CD release party, DJ sets peppered throughout town, and some solid appearances at both the Replay Lounge, 946 Mass., and the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Mass. And it’s all because of the Jackpot’s headliner — Jaill.

The Milwaukee quartet added an extra ‘l’ to their name upon signing to Sub Pop Records in 2009. Luckily, the jangling guitars, cutting vocals and darker elements that made the band’s breakout album “There’s No Sky (Oh My My)” so noteworthy remained unchanged on the band’s follow-up, “That’s How We Burn.” That effort expands on the band existing talents while embracing more indie pop elements, making the best songs on the album “Everyone’s Hip” and “The Stroller” sound right at home on soundtracks or during credit rolls.

A pair of local upstarts, L5 and Living Ghosts, open the show, which guarantees the show will be an upbeat, rock ‘n’ roll experience, perfect to start the weekend. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $7.

Coach: KU fans will love Traylor

REGIONAL SOCCER

‘Unbelievable’ finish

——

Latest basketball signee lauded

by AAU instructor

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Jamari Traylor, who played basketball his senior year of high school in Bradenton, Fla., was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago.

“I grew up near Dearborn and State Street, right next to Sox Stadium, U.S. Cellular Field. I’d walk over there a lot and go to (White Sox) games,” said Traylor, a 6foot-7, 220-pound IMG Academies power forward who Wednesday signed a national letter of intent with KU. South Sider Traylor, who attended Julian High School of the P ublic League his junior year, played last spring and summer for Chicago’s Mean Streets AAU Traylor program.

The late bloomer, who didn’t start playing organized basketball until his sophomore year of high school, flourished for Mean Streets. He played on the same team as future college players Anthony Davis (6-10, Kentucky), Phil Greene (6-2, St. John’s), Branden Dawson (6-6, Michigan State) and Dee Davis (5-10, Xavier).

“That team was loaded,” said Mean Streets coach Jevon Mamon. “When you are playing with the type of guys who will play in the Big East, SEC, Big 10, you elevate your game. Jamari did that.

“Some of the dunks that he pulled out ... his athleticism and strength, dunking over people ... coming out of nowhere and getting rebounds ... he is a guy who is so athletic. He rebounds his butt off, runs the floor well and has great hands. His game has so much potential as he continues to grow as a player.”

Traylor averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks this past season at IMG. He chose KU over Oklahoma State, Indiana and Texas Tech.

“I think Jamari can definitely come in and compete and contribute at the elite level — at KU,” Mamon said. “I’ve had the pleasure of working camps in the past at KU, and I’ve seen firsthand how coach (Bill) Self and coach (Joe) Dooley and (Kurtis) Townsend and (Danny) Manning develop players. I think he’ll flourish.

“The fans will love him,” Mamon added. “Off the court, he’s a very likeable kid. He has a great sense of humor. On the court, he turns into an animal. He is a warrior. He competes every possession. He is strong as an ox.

FREE STATE SOCCER PLAYERS REACT after their 2-1 loss to Manhattan. The Firebirds scored in the first minute, but couldn’t hold on in the regional championship on Thursday in Manhattan.

Free State falls just short of state, loses to Manhattan

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

MANHATTAN — In few sports can one or two plays make a greater difference than in soccer. This time around, Free State High’s girls soccer team was on the wrong side of that hard lesson.

The Firebirds fell just shy of making their first-ever Class 6A state tournament appearance after falling, 2-1, to top-seeded Manhattan on Thursday night.

“It’s unbelievable,” FSHS coach Kelly Barah said.

The Firebirds (10-7-1) stormed out early and looked like the team that downed Junction City, 9-1, on Tuesday evening.

riner — won’t be able to continue on with the revitalized program.

But there’s little doubt that the future of Free State’s girls soccer program is bright.

Returning are freshman talents like Fuerst, Maddie Dieker, and Alexa Harmon-Thomas, and other standouts like Elena Auer, A b b e y a n d C h e l s e a C a s a dy, Margaux Gill, Amber Hicks and Loneker.

Throw in a cast of junior varsity players who went 11-1-3 and outscored opponents 72-6, and the best times still may be yet to come for the Firebirds.

“We’ll continue to build,” Barah said. “But these girls worked so hard all season. They deserved something better.”

Separated from in-state rival Kansas State by a half game in the conference standings, Kansas University’s baseball team will square off with the Wildcats for three games this weekend with a trip to the Big 12 tournament on the line.

Game 1 is scheduled for 6:30 tonight in Manhattan. KU must win at least two of the three games to slide into the No. 8 spot in next week’s Big 12 tourney.

“The good thing is we don’t have to scoreboard-watch,” KU coach Ritch Price said. “We get to go out and play and control

our own destiny. If we win the series, we’ll be playing, and KState could be done.”

KANSAS The JayAT K-STATE hawks (26-27 overall, 9-15 in What: Game 1 Big 12) will When: 6:30 tonight send T.J. Walz Where: Manhattan (6-5) to the mound for the Series: Game 2, 6 opener. Walz, p.m. Saturday at the team’s Hoglund Ballpark; unquestioned Game 3, 6 p.m. ace for the past Sunday at Hoglund two seasons, Ballpark will be looking to set the school’s career wins record. He currently is tied with Jim Phillips

(1980-83) with 26 career victories. K-State (31-21, 9-14) enters the Sunflower Showdown on the heels of an 11-inning loss at Wichita State on Tuesday. Prior to that, the Wildcats swept three games from New Orleans last weekend.

Kansas is coming off a fourgame sweep of Alabama A&M. The Jayhawks outscored the Bulldogs, 60-9, in 28 innings and snapped out of a funk during which they dropped back-toback weekend Big 12 series.

“We’re on a good roll,” said KU senior Jimmy Waters. “And hopefully that’ll lead to some good things this weekend.”

Technically, this weekend’s

battle is a home series for Kansas. But the two teams have split the venue for the last several years in order to draw more fans. Game 2 will be played at 6 p.m. Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark, and the finale is slated for 6 p.m. Sunday.

Despite the challenge of facing a near must-win game on the road to kick things off, Price is looking forward to tonight’s game.

“It’s a great rivalry, and they’ve done a really nice job of improving their program, too,” Price said of KSU. “The last couple of times we’ve played them there, we’ve had 1,500-2,000 people. It’s going to be a great atmosphere.”

Bench sparks Thunder; series tied D A L L A S ( AP ) — Kevin Durant scored 24 points, and James Harden added 23, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 106-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night, knotting the Western Conference finals at one game each.

Durant was as tough to guard as ever, but the real difference was Harden and the bench coming up big, especially down the stretch.

The bearded, left-handed guard had a four-point play in the final seconds of the third quarter that put Oklahoma City up by one.

Then he and fellow reserves Eric Maynor, Nick Collison and Daequan Cook teamed with Durant to outplay Dallas’ crew of closers in the final period.

The Thunder’s unusual set of finishers outscored the Mavs’ by five. They broke the game open with a 14-5 stretch capped by a

“They’ve been playing hard all year for us and this was another

example,” Durant said of his team’s reserves.

Oklahoma City continued its streak of avoiding consecutive losses this postseason. The series shifts to the Thunder’s home court — about 200 miles up Interstate 35 — for Game 3 on Saturday night.

Dirk Nowitzki didn’t dominate nearly as much as he did in the opener, scoring 29 points. He had 16 in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough as Dallas was its sevengame winning streak end and dropped to 6-1 at home in the playoffs.

“We made it a little tougher for him,” Durant said, referring to Nowitzki’s 48 points in Game 1.

Nowitzki made 10 of 17 shots in Game 2, but had to earn every one, with bodies flying at him before and during every possession. He was swarmed so tightly that he didn’t even score in the third quarter.

CYCLING Hamilton: Armstrong doped NEW YORK — Tyler Hamilton, a former teammate of Lance Armstrong, told “60 Minutes” that he used performance-enhancing drugs with the seven-time Tour de France winner to cheat in cycling races, including the tour.

Hamilton said Armstrong took a blood-booster called EPO in the 1999 Tour and before the race in 2000 and 2001. Armstrong won the race every year from 1999-2005.

The interview with Hamilton was broadcast on the “CBS Evening News” on Thursday.

“I saw (EPO) in his refrigerator. ... I saw him inject it more than one time,” Hamilton said, “like we all did.

Like I did, many, many times.”

Hamilton told “60 Minutes” reporter Scott Pelley: “(Armstrong)

Sagan wins fifth stage PASO ROBLES, CALIF. — Slovakian Peter Sagan swung wide right in the final 100 yards and sped from fifth place to win the fifth stage of the Tour of California.

Chris Horner remained the overall race leader Thursday.

TV Ebersol resigns from NBC NEW YORK — Dick Ebersol, who made NBC the TV home of the Olympics for more than two decades, will watch someone else run the network’s coverage of next year’s Summer Games.

The powerful TV executive behind shows from “Saturday Night Live” to “Sunday Night Football” resigned Thursday as head of NBC Sports in a contract dispute with his new bosses at Comcast.

The break was sudden and unexpected: Ebersol had been given a

promotion when Comcast took over NBCUniversal earlier this year and appeared Monday at a presentation NBC gave to advertisers in New York, tossing footballs from the stage and talking about coverage of the 2012 London Olympics.

Now, he said he’ll be an uninvolved spectator.

“I think it’ll be fun once I get past thinking, ‘I would’ve done that differently,”’ he said Thursday.

Ebersol, who is married to actress Susan Saint James, survived a plane crash that killed their teenage son in 2004.

He has had a profound effect on what the nation has watched on television since the 1970s — and his exit could portend big changes in the TV landscape in the next decade.

Ebersol said he wanted “to make a really cool deal” with Comcast executives. “We just couldn’t get to the same place.” His nine-year contract with NBC was due to expire at the end of next year.

“I had a long run and loved every bit of it,” Ebersol said in a phone interview with the Associated Press on Thursday.

BASEBALL Royals demote Dyson KANSAS CITY, MO. — The Kansas City Royals made four roster moves on Thursday, including activating right-hander Robinson Tejeda from the disabled list.

In addition, the Royals brought up right-hander reliever Greg Holland from Triple-A Omaha and sent outfielder Jarrod Dyson and right-hander Jeremy Jeffress to Omaha.

GOLF Toms, Reavie share lead FORT WORTH, TEXAS — David Toms quickly rebounded from the disappointment of his near-miss.

Four days after losing in a playoff at The Players Championship. Toms shot a bogey-free 8-under 62 on Thursday to share the first-round lead at Colonial with Chez Reavie.

After forcing a playoff with K.J. Choi at TPC Sawgrass with a rare birdie at the 18th hole, Toms missed a short par putt at the famed No. 17 island hole in the playoff that would have extended play.

The 22-year-old De Silvestro has second-degree burns on her right hand and superficial burns on her left, track officials said. She was able to walk to a vehicle that took her to the track’s medical center, then was transported to a hospital.

De Silvestro later tweeted a photo of her bandaged hands from outside the hospital.

How ex-Jayhawks fared

Oklahoma senior linebacker Box dies at 22; overdose suspected took what we all took ... the majority of the peloton,” referring to riders in the race. “There was EPO ... testosterone ... a blood transfusion.”

EPO is a drug that boosts endurance by increasing the number of red blood cells in the body.

Armstrong has steadfastly denied doping and has never failed a drug test. However, federal authorities are investigating whether Armstrong and his former U.S. Postal team did participate in a systematic doping program.

Hamilton’s accusations come a year after Floyd Landis, another former Armstrong teammate, made similar allegations of drug use by Armstrong and the team. And like Landis, Hamilton said Armstrong failed a drug test at the 2001 Tour de Suisse.

Armstrong’s attorney Mark Fabiani dismissed the “60 Minutes” report.

Shortly after Hamilton’s comments aired, Armstrong launched a website that refuted the claims and tweeted: ”20+ year career. 500 drug controls worldwide, in and out of competition. Never a failed test. I rest my case.”

Hamilton won a cycling gold medal at the 2004 Athens Games but failed a drug test later. He was allowed to keep his medal, however, because problems at a laboratory meant his backup ’B’ sample could not be tested.

Months later, he was caught blood doping and served a two-year ban which ended in 2007.

NORMAN, OKLA. — Police were investigating whether drugs had a role in the death Thursday of Oklahoma senior linebacker Austin Box, and a witness told authorities he believed his friend had overdosed.

Authorities didn’t immediately release an official cause of death, and Box’s body was sent to the state Medical Examiner’s office. Box was 22.

“We’re all shocked and heartbroken,” Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops said in a statement.

“Austin was a great young man, a great young man to coach, and a great teammate.”

Box Stoops’ defensive coordinator, Brent Venables, fought back tears and said he was “numb” while talking about Box during an evening news conference at the Switzer Center, adjacent to the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

“You can’t plan for this,” Venables said. “There’s no blueprint for it. I just know that a young man was tragically taken from us today.”

El Reno Police Chief Ken Brown said officers and medics responded to a call at a house in the town about 30 miles west of Oklahoma City about 9:25 a.m. concerning an unresponsive male “with unknown medical issues.” Brown identified the man as Box and said he first was taken to an El Reno hospital, then transferred by air ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Oklahoma City.

FSHS diver in finals

By Ben Ward Journal-World Sports Writer

TOPEKA — When Free State High diver Annie Soderberg steps onto the board, the silence of the crowd engulfs her. Everything slows down, and her mind goes blank to tune out any excess noise.

Then, Soderberg, a gymnast in her first year diving for FSHS, springs from the board, twisting and flipping in the air until she gracefully splashes into the water.

“You feel free and open,” Soderberg said. “I feel like it’s really slow. In gymnastics, it’s

really fast, and (here) you get a lot more spring, so you’re in the air for a while.”

Soderberg — the lone city diver competing at the state championships at Hummer Sports Complex — made it through to the finals after her performance in the diving preliminaries and semifinal rounds on Thursday afternoon.

Finals, where each diver has three more dives, start at 2 p.m. today at Hummer.

After five dives in the prelims, Soderberg’s score of 152.90 was good enough for 12th place and a slot in the

semifinals, where she had three more dives to earn one of 16 spots in the finals.

Her three dives in the semis boosted her score — which is cumulative throughout all 11 dives — to 233.20, good for 10th place at the moment.

“Her middle three dives were really consistent,” FSHS dive coach Emily Wicktor said. “She’s certainly had better days, but she put herself in a good spot with that consistency.”

Blue Valley Northwest’s A.J. Lewis, last year’s state champion, is currently in first at 319.40.

City track teams aim for state

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

In terms of qualifying for the state track and field meet, no results truly matter except the ones achieved at the regional meet.

One mistake — a missed handoff, a bad start, a poor throw — could mean the end of an athlete’s season.

So at Free State High this afternoon, athletes from both Lawrence High and Free State will try to have their best performances of the season and qualify for the state meet in Wichita next weekend.

Preliminary heats are set to start at 3 p.m., with finals following at 4:30.

Leavenworth, Shawnee

Mission East, Shawnee Mission North, Shawnee Mission Northwest, Shawnee Mission West and Topeka will join the Lions and Firebirds.

The top four finishers in each event will qualify for the state meet, which will start on May 27 at Wichita State University’s Cessna Stadium.

BRIEFLY KU’s Gilbert tied for 38th at regionals TUCSON, ARIZ. — Kansas University sophomore Chris Gilbert is tied for 38th place after the first day of the NCAA regional golf tournament.

Gilbert, who qualified as an individual, shot a 2-over-par 73 Thursday on the Omni Tucson National course. He needs to finish first among individuals not on the top five teams to advance to the NCAAs. He bogeyed the No. 2, 5, 11 and 12 holes and had birdies on 10 and 16.

“He had a shaky start, but he kept plugging away,” said coach Kit Grove. “He put himself in a position, where if he has two good rounds he might have a fighting chance to advance.”

UC Davis’ Matt Hansen leads after shooting a 64. The 54hole tournament continues today and Saturday.

“Thomas is probably going to be a lottery pick next year,” Traylor said. “I know I can complement him, and he can complement me as well on the court. With us on the court, it should be really good.” ●

Mum’s the word: DeAndre Daniels, a 6-8 senior from IMG Academies, did not announce for KU, Texas or Oregon on Thursday.

IMG Academies had said Daniels would have an announcement Thursday morning, but that never materialized.

Daniels could decide today, or he could wait awhile.

He has let the spring signing period elapse, meaning he can only sign a financial-aid agreement, not a letter-ofintent.

The agreement binds the school to the player, but not the player to the school.

Daniels in theory would be free to attend any school in the summer or fall.

Zagsblog.net has reported that Daniels’ dad favors KU. It has been speculated Daniels may favor Texas, but the family has been silent through most of the recruiting process.

KANSAS CITY 2, TEXAS 1, 10 INNINGS

Royals snap losing skid KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Jeff Francoeur’s game-winning RBI single in the 10th inning allowed everybody in a Kansas City uniform to take a deep breath and relax.

When Melky Cabrera sped home from third for the gamewinning run in a 2-1 victory over Texas on Thursday night, it snapped a five-game losing streak that came oh, so close to a six-game slide.

It was also the Royals’ seventh walkoff win.

“We needed this,” Francoeur said. “We’d been battling hard. It wasn’t like we’ve been blown out all those games. To get this tonight was huge. This kind of win to gets everybody relaxed and having fun again.”

After fouling off several deliveries from Cody Eppley, Francoeur delivered KC’s 14th hit and 14th single in a frustrating night that saw four Royals get put out on the bases.

“I wanted to take a couple of pitches to feel him out,” said Francoeur. “I figured he was going to try to get me on that sinker and get me to roll over. I kept fouling some off.

Finally, he left one up over the zone and I was able to just hit it right back up the middle.”

Cabrera hit a one-out single off Darren Oliver (1-5) in the 10th, his third hit of the night, and sped to third when Eric Hosmer singled into right for his third hit.

Greg Holland (1-0), called up from Triple-A Omaha hours earlier, pitched 1 1⁄3 innings for his first majorleague win as the Royals, for the second night in a row,

broke through against Rangers close Neftali Perez.

Perez relieved after Derek Holland had thrown eight shutout innings but allowed a leadoff single to Hosmer in the ninth. Hosmer went to second on a single by Francoeur, then Feliz, who blew his first save in 20 opportunities the night before, got the first two outs on fly balls before the runners moved up on a wild pitch.

Mike Aviles, after fouling off five 3-2 pitches, drove in the tying run with an infield single that shortstop Elvis Andrus stopped from going into the outfield, keeping the Royals from scoring the winning run.

“I thought for sure that ball was getting through,” Aviles said. “It was a heck of a lay on

his part to stop it. If that ball gets through, it’s game over.”

“Well, you know, he’s healthy.

Sometimes it’s games like this that get you going,” Washington said. “I thought he came out today and attacked. They did a good job of fouling balls off.

They made him work.”

Derek Holland had one walk and five strikeouts while dueling Luke Hochevar. He gave up only six hits and one run in 82⁄3 innings.

Chris Davis, in the game because Michael Young was given his first night off of the year, hit Hochevar’s 2-1 pitch leading off the second for his third home run.

Greg Holland relieved Hochevar with two out in the ninth after Mitch Moreland and Yorvit Torrealba hit twoout singles.

The Royals had at least one baserunner in every inning but the second against Derek Holland, a 24-year-old left-hander.

But the Rangers turned two double plays behind him and the Royals had four runners thrown out on the bases.

Texas shortstop Andres Blanco, who had never played in the outfield in the major leagues, went into right field in the bottom of the fourth after Endy Chavez was removed with tightness in his right hamstring.

Blanco bobbled the ball momentarily on his f irst chance when Francoeur singled into right in the sixth. But he recovered in time to nail Francoeur sliding into second on what would have been a single and an error had he been safe.

Dear Sick: Your parents want you to have the education that will best prepare you for a well-rounded life and a good job. First, see if you can lighten your course load, taking fewer classes or ones that are not so demanding. Discuss your problems with an adviser. Also take some time to consider your future plans.

ment” scheduled with the parents the following week. I said those kids could be dead in a week.

I then called the police, who responded immediately. My other neighbors had also contacted CPS without success.

We agreed to call 911 any time we saw or heard abuse. The police responded immediately, every time.

Child Protective Services anniesmailbox@comcast.net investigates reports of abuse, but it takes time. If you believe you would be interested in a child is in danger, call 911. It and what is required to could save a life. — Stop Child achieve it. A four-year degree Abuse is not the only path to success.

And perhaps you might consider returning to school after taking a year off to travel or work. Explore all your options. If you can present your parents with some concrete plans for your future, they will be more open to your ideas.

“Supernatural” (7 p.m. and 8 p.m., CW) wraps up its season with Sam and Dean facing the forces of Hell, or some nasty netherworld, as they do on a regular basis.

While “Smallville” has been packed away in the Fortress of Solitude where all old series go, “Supernatural” remains on the schedule for next season.

Also ending tonight and returning next season is Fox’s “Kitchen Nightmares” (7 p.m., Fox). A repeat “Nightmares” (8 p.m.) follows.

As I file this column, every network but CBS has announced their complete schedule for next season. So the fate of “Blue Bloods” has yet to be announced.

Like many CBS series, “Bloods” attracts an audience of older viewers, not the most attractive to advertisers. Friday nights used to belong to network series appealing to young viewers, but those shows, and their audience, have migrated to places like Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel where “iCarly” (7 p.m., Nickelodeon) and “Lemonade Mouth” (7 p.m., Disney) reign supreme.

As it has for some years now, Friday nights will become a last-chance perch for shows that have barely escaped cancellation. Look for NBC’s “Chuck” to move to Friday’s next fall. “Fringe” returns to Fox Fridays in autumn as well as “Kitchen Nightmares.” ABC will move its Sunday night staple “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” to Friday evenings, where it will join “Shark Tank.”

NBC will debut one new series “GRIMM” on Friday nights, a detective series inspired by the supernatural creatures of the classic Grimm’s Fairy Tale.

New network series have the hardest time of finding an audience on Friday nights, so we’re not sure if that show will live happily ever after. ● “Children of Promise: The Legacy of Robert F. Kennedy” (7 p.m., Discovery ID) documents the Children’s Defense Fund, a private charity established in memory of the slain senator, designed to intervene in the lives of at-risk children and teens. Over the decades, the Massachusetts nonprofit has become a model agency, helping youth destined for a life of violence and crime finish school, get jobs and star families. ● According to one radio and television preacher, the end of the world is scheduled for tomorrow, May 21. Animal Planet is the perfect place to get in the mood, with two helpings of epidemic documentaries “Killer Outbreaks” (7 p.m. and 8 p.m., Animal Planet) and a real feel-bad special called “Bed Bug Apocalypse” (9 p.m.).

Sweet Dreams.

Tonight’s other highlights ● Spike suspects his old colleague of the worst on “Flashpoint” (7 p.m., CBS). ● A magazine praises Coach Taylor “Friday Night Lights” (7 p.m., NBC). ● Just when you thought it was over, “Prince William & Catherine: A Royal Love Story” (7 p.m., OWN) meditates on a “people’s princess.” ● Four finalists help out at a food pantry at a disaster site on “CMT’s Next Superstar” (8 p.m., CMT). ● “20/20” (9 p.m., ABC) puts infomercial claims to the test. ● People, gorillas and turtles test the boy’s mettle on “Swamp Brothers” (9 p.m., Discovery).

Dear Stop: Thank you for reminding our readers that in cases requiring an immediate response, the police are the appropriate authority to call because they are trained for such emergencies. Cases of child abuse would then be reported to Child Protective Services, which would investigate and determine whether the child should be removed from the home.

Dear Annie: I have witnessed my neighbors abusing their children. The preschoolers lived in so much fear of their father that they would hide behind my house. They showed me their bruises and told me about the horrific beatings. I immediately contacted Child Protective Services, but a week later, the abuse was still continuing. I contacted CPS again and was told there was an “appoint-

Dear Annie: I am a college student. I graduated from community college with an associate’s degree in December and am finishing my first semester at the university. No matter how hard I try (tutoring, studying more and for longer hours), I am not doing well. I don’t think college is for me, and I want to drop out.

The problem is, I don’t know how to tell my parents about my decision. They have always said that school is the most important thing. They would be terribly hurt and disappointed if one of their children quit. I have told them what a hard time I’m having, and they say as long as I’m trying my best, there is nothing to be ashamed of and I should simply study more. But I am frustrated. I can’t put more into it than I already do.

My parents don’t understand what I’m going through.

How do I discuss it with them?

service, including, but not limited to, interexchange carriers and competitive access providers, but not including local exchange carriers certified before January 1, 1996. i) “Telecommunications services” means providing the means of transmission, between or among points specified by the user, of information of the user’s choosing, without change in the form or content of the information as sent and received, and including RF Transport Services as defined in Grantee’s Telecommunications Tariff on file with the Kansas Corporation Commission.

Section 2. Grant of Contract Franchise. a) There is hereby granted to the Grantee the nonexclusive right, privilege and Contract franchise to construct, maintain, extend and operate its facilities, in through and along the rights-of-way for the purpose of supplying Telecommunications Services to the City and its inhabitants thereof for the full term of this Contract franchise; subject, however, to the terms and conditions herein set forth. b) The grant of this Contract franchise by the City shall not convey title, equitable or legal, in the Public right-of-way, and shall give only the right to occupy the Public right-of-way, for the purposes and for the period stated in this Contract franchise.

This Contract franchise does not: (1) Grant the right to use Facilities or any other property, telecommunications related or otherwise, owned or controlled by the City or a third-party, without the consent of such party; (2) Grant the authority to construct, maintain or operate any Facilities or related appurtenance on property owned by the City outside of the Public right-of-way, specifically including, but not limited to, parkland property, City Hall property or public works facility property.

In particular, this Contract franchise does not provide Grantee the right to provide cable service as a cable operator (as defined by 47 U.S.C. § 522 (5)) within the City. Grantee agrees that this Contract franchise does not permit it to operate an open video system without payment of fees permitted by 47 U.S.C. § 573(c)(2)(B) and without complying with FCC regulations promulgated pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 573. e) This authority to occupy the Public right-of-way shall be granted in a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory basis and not in conflict with state or federal law. f) Nothing herein contained shall be construed as giving Grantee any exclusive privileges. g) Grantee or Grantee’s contractor shall, prior to commencing any construction on City owned municipal facilities in the Public right-of-way, post a payment bond assuring that the attachments of Grantee’s Facilities to City owned facilities in the Public right-of-way will be constructed without the attachment of any construction liens. Section 3.

Use of Right-of-Way. In the use of the right-of-way under this Contract franchise, the Grantee shall be subject to all rules, regulations, policies, resolutions and ordinances now or hereafter adopted or promulgated by the City in the reasonable exercise of its police power and is subject to all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations adopted by the governmental bodies now or hereafter having jurisdiction. As a condition of this Contract franchise, Grantee is required to obtain and is responsible for any necessary permit, license, certification, grant, registration or any other authorization required by any appropriate governmental entity, including, but not limited to, the City, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC), subject to Grantee’s right to challenge in good faith such requirements as established by the FCC, KCC or other City Ordinance. In addition, the Grantee shall be subject to all rules, regulations, policies, resolutions and ordinances now or hereafter adopted or promulgated by the City relating to the use of the right-of-way, including but not limited to, permits, sidewalk and pavement cuts, utility location, construction coordination, beautification, tree care, and other requirements on the use of the right-of-way and shall comply with the following: a) The Grantee’s use of the right-of-way shall in all matters be subject and subordinate to the City’s use of the right-of-way for any public purposes and the public health, safety and welfare requirements and regulations of the City. The Grantee shall coordinate the placement of its facilities in a manner that minimizes adverse impact on public improvements, as reasonably determined by the City. Where placement is not otherwise regulated, the facilities shall be placed with adequate clearance

from such public improvements so as not to impact or be impacted by such public improvement. b) All earth, materials, sidewalks, paving, crossings, utilities, public improvements or improvements of any kind injured, damaged or removed by the Grantee in its activities under this Contract franchise shall be fully repaired or replaced within a reasonable time by the Grantee at its sole expense and to the reasonable satisfaction of the City and the Grantee. c) The Grantee shall keep and maintain accurate records and as-built drawings depicting the accurate location of all facilities constructed, reconstructed, or relocated in the right-of-way after the date hereof and provide the above information to the City upon request. Where such information is available electronically, upon request from the City, Grantee agrees to provide such information in an electronic format.

Such location and identification shall be at the sole expense of the Grantee, without expense to the City, its employees, agents, or authorized contractors. City agrees to use information obtained pursuant to this subsection only to locate utility facilities in connection with municipal projects and further agrees not to disclose such information to anyone other than City employees requiring such information to locate utility facilities in connection with municipal projects, except as required by law. Grantee and the City agree that such information is confidential and proprietary and agree that such information shall remain the sole property of the Investor owned utility and agree that pursuant to the Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-215 et seq., as amended, such information does not constitute public records subject to K.S.A. 45-218, as amended. In the event that the City is required by law to disclose such information, the City shall provide the Grantee advance notice of its intended disclosure of such information and shall take such action as may be reasonably required to cooperate with the Grantee to safeguard such information. The Grantee agrees to indemnify and hold the City harmless from any and all penalties or costs, including attorney’s fees, arising from the actions of the Grantee, or of the City at the written request of the Grantee, in seeking to safeguard the confidentiality of information provided by the Grantee to the City under this section. In the event such information is required by force of law to be publicly disclosed, the Grantee shall have no further obligation under this section to provide the City with such information.
