Self offers to donate $1M for new rec center

A deal is in the works for Kansas University men’s basketball coach Bill Self to make a more than $1 million donation to spur construction of a new west Lawrence recreation center.

firmed the city soon will start discussing an offer made by Self ’s Assists Foundation to donate $1 million to a recreation center project and for Self to donate his time to help raise another $2 million in private funds.

“We’re just waiting in the wings to hear from the city, and

hopefully that will be sooner rather than later,” said Erin Zimney, executive director of the Assists Foundation. “Nothing has been formalized yet, but I can tell you that we would love to support a project like this.”

Zimney said Self and the foundation have sensed a lack of available gym space and other indoor

recreation space in the city, particularly on the west side.

Cromwell said the city is interested in considering a partnership.

“I feel like this could be a really good way to leverage some private money for a needed project,” Cromwell said.

about 23 percent above the $10,747 national average.

“We’re obviously disappointed that an error like this will result in some students and families not getting the real picture of KU’s affordability,” said KU Provost Jeff Vitter, in a written statement. “KU continues to be one of the most affordable national research universities to attend, and we again this year increased the amount of scholarships and aid available to our students.”

The Department of Education released its College Affordability and Transparency lists on Thursday to fulfill a reporting requirement passed into law in 2008. The online lists track tuition costs among the top and

T O P E K A — Kansas avoided becoming the first state in the country without an abortion provider by granting Planned Parenthood a license Thursday to continue performing abortions under new regulations being challenged in federal court.

The new rules from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment tell abortion providers what drugs and equipment they must have on hand, how big some of their rooms must be and the specific temperatures allowed in procedure and recovery rooms. The department is imposing them under a new licensing law that takes effect today.

The licensing law is part of an unprecedented surge of antiabortion legislation that has advanced through Republicancontrolled legislatures in many states. Collectively, the measures create an array of new obstacles — legal, financial and psychological — for women seeking abortions and doctors performing them.

Kansas has three abortion providers, all in the Kansas City area, and two of them haven’t obtained licenses and can’t legally perform abortions until a federal court intervenes. A hearing in a federal lawsuit involving the other providers besides Planned Parenthood was scheduled for today in Kansas City.

Ahead of that hearing, the attorney general’s office argued in a filing Thursday evening that the license for Planned Parenthood undercuts other providers’ arguments that the regulations eliminate access to abortion. The filing included a copy of the license.

Bonnie Scott Jones, an attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights replied: “That’s certainly better than no one being open, but it’s certainly not enough to meet the needs of the women of Kansas.”

Supporters believe the rules and the licensing law will protect patients. Abortion-rights advocates see them as deliberately burdensome and didn’t trust the licensing process because Gov. Sam Brownback is an anti-abortion Republican and abortion opponents pushed the law through the GOP-controlled Legislature.

Some abortion opponents anticipated the possibility of an “abortion-free” Kansas. Troy

WORK IS UNDER WAY ON A SEVEN-STORY APARTMENT, OFFICE AND RETAIL BUILDING at the southwest corner of Ninth and New Hampshire streets. The city’s Public Incentives Review Committee on Thursday recommended giving a development group led by Lawrence businessman Doug Compton about $280,000 in incentives related to the project.

Olive Garden’s future cloudy with a chance of meatballs —————

Board rejects restaurant’s request, but City Commission could still approve it if mayor persuaded to change his mind

By Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

A key city board rejected proposed financial incentives for a South Lawrence project that would feature an Olive Garden, leaving the restaurant’s Lawrence future as tangled as a large plate of spaghetti.

The city’s P ublic Incentives Review Committee rejected on a 4-3 vote a request for a property tax rebate for the project that would build on a vacant lot at 27th and Iowa streets.

“At this point, we just don’t know what we’re going to do,” said Matthew Gough, a Lawrence attor-

ney representing the Kansas City development group that owns the property. “We need to sit down and evaluate where we are at.”

Future murky The decision wasn’t the final one for the project. City commissioners still could vote on the request. But two city commissioners — Mayor Aron Cromwell and Commissioner Bob Schumm — serve on the PIRC board, and both voted against the request. Because of a conflict of interest by City Commissioner Mike Amyx, only four city commissioners will vote on the request — meaning either Cromwell or Schumm will

have to change his mind in order for the request to have a chance with the City Commission.

Cromwell left some question about whether he could be persuaded to think differCromwell ently. He indicated he was torn by the request, saying he was “at a five on a scale of one to 10.”

Schumm, who is a longtime restaurant owner in downtown, left no such doubt.

Data error puts KU in bad light on price list

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

As the U.S. Department of Education unveiled a list of public institutions with the highest net prices, Kansas University officials were surprised to find themselves in 17th place.

As it turns out, they’re really not that high on the list, university officials said. The university made an error when it reported its financial aid data to a national database, said KU spokesman Jack Martin. That error artificially inflated the net cost, he said, as the university hasn’t been reporting all the sources of financial aid that the national database asked for.

In reality, the net cost to attend KU is $13,940, he said, or about $3,300 less

He was born Feb. 25, 1948, in Bennington, Okla., the son of George Andrew and Rena Dimple McIntyre Wilkins.

He graduated from Lawrence High School in 1966. He had lived in the Lawrence area since 1963.

Mr. Wilkins served in the U.S. Army during Vietnam and was a material handler at Berry Plastics. He was a member of the American Legion and VFW. He enjoyed playing pool, cards, singing karaoke, all sports, KU Jayhawks, and in his younger years he was a great baseball player.

Abortion

Legislators concluded women seeking abortions are more vulnerable than other patients because they’re less likely to report problems out of fear of disclosing unwanted pregnancies.

They didn’t have or compile hard data that women seeking abortions face a higher risk of serious complications than patients having surgical procedures in clinics or doctor’s office. Anti-abortion groups say reporting of problems is inadequate; abortion rights supporters contend existing data suggesting problems are rare confirm that abortion is safe.

Tactics of other states that have passed anti-abortion legislation have varied: mandatory sonograms and anti-abortion counseling, sweeping limits on insurance coverage, bans on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Kansas has such restrictions, some also enacted this year.

In South Dakota, lawmakers passed legislation requiring women seeking abortions to face a three-day waiting period and undergo counseling at pregnancy help centers that discourage abortion. A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked the new law, saying that Planned Parenthood had demonstrated that it and its specified provisions are “likely” unconstitutional.

Abortion providers protested both the content and the timing of the Kansas rules, arguing that they’re being imposed so quickly that their right to due process is being violated.

They received the current version of the standards earlier this month, with less than two weeks to comply with them. The department argued that the law, signed in mid-May by Brownback, forced a fast track.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Newman, president of Operation Rescue, reacted to the possibility that Planned Parenthood would fail to get a license with, “Praise Jesus.”

“There are still two other abortion mills that cannot meet compliance,” Newman said. “That is a two-thirds reduction and I will take an accumulated victory every chance we get them.”

But Kari Ann Rinker, state coordinator for the National Organization for Women, decried the “continued harassment of women through the legislative process.”

“Any delay or any interruption on abortion services has an immediate and direct impact on the women who are waiting for those services,” she said.

Peter Brownlie, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, said Thursday its clinic in Overland Park had received its license after initially being denied. State inspectors returned to the clinic Thursday after a twoday review last week.

“It confirms what we knew all along, that we provide high-quality health care,” Brownlie said. “We’re glad to be able to keep meeting the needs of our patients.”

Among other things, the Kansas regulations require rooms where abortions are performed to have at least 150 sq. feet of space, excluding fixed cabinets, and to keep their temperatures between 68 and 73 degrees. Each procedure room also must have its own janitor’s closet with at least 50 sq. feet.

Incentives CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

“The applicant’s admission is he paid too much for the property,” Schumm said. “To the public, this just looks like a bailout.”

The applicant argued that the vacant property is in need of redevelopment, and that an Olive Garden restaurant would give the city a major sales tax boost. The restaurant is expected to generate about $5 million in sales, and Olive Garden estimates 40 percent of the sales would be new business to Lawrence, rather than just sales that are taken from other Lawrence restaurants.

Cromwell and Schumm both questioned those numbers. But the developer — M.D. Management — said that even if the percentage fell to 20 percent, the city’s own analysis showed that the city still would receive $1.27 in benefits for every $1 in costs the project created.

Other incentives?

County Commissioner Mike Gaughan voted against the incentives request — which sought 10 years of partial property tax rebates through the Neighborhood Revitalization Act. But

Self CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

existing sales tax money to finance the remainder of the project. The city last year finished paying off the Indoor Aquatic Center, which freed up about $260,000 a year.

By 2016, the city also will have paid off the Eagle Bend Golf Course and the Community Health Center.

Those two projects will free up another $1.2 million in funds.

City staff members previously have recommended a 40-acre site of city-owned property that is just north of the Walmart at Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive as a prime location for a West Lawrence center, which they have said would fill a gap in the city’s recreation offerings.

City Manager David Corliss said if the project moves forward — it likely will be discussed by city commissioners in the next two to three weeks — construction wouldn’t begin until at least 2013. The city would use 2012 to concentrate on design and private fundraising.

Cromwell said the city wouldn’t issue any new debt for the project until private fundraising was completed.

Gaughan said he thought the project could be a financial benefit to the community if it used a different type of incentive.

He suggested the city consider allowing the development to form a Community Improvement District, which would allow for the creation of a special sales tax that would go to the development group.

Gaughan said he understands the idea of a special taxing district is opposed by some members of the public, but he said special signs alerting all customers that a higher sales tax is charged could help alleviate some of the concerns.

Cromwell, though, said he still views the idea of special taxing districts as extremely unpopular with the public.

Other members on the PIRC include: former City Commissioner Rob Chestnut, outgoing school board member Scott Morgan, and local banker Brad Burnside, who all voted for the incentives package. Former City Commissioner Boog Highberger voted against the package, joining Cromwell, Gaughan and Schumm.

Downtown incentives approved In other business, the PIRC approved, on a 6-1 vote, $280,000 worth of incentives

City funding The project comes forward, however, at a time when city commissioners will be contemplating a rise in the city’s property tax rate to fund other needs. The mill levy in 2012 is expected to increase by at least 1.7 mills to pay for a voter-approved expansion of the Lawrence Public Library. Commissioners also are expected to consider an additional property tax increase to fund more police officers.

The countywide sales tax — approved by voters in 1994 — allows the sales tax collections to be used for any governmental purpose. But Corliss and Cromwell said they would be hesitant to recommend that the freed up sales tax money be used to fund police needs or other projects not related to parks and recreation. That’s because parks and recreation projects were a selling point used to convince voters to support the sales tax 17 years ago.

“We have the legal authority to use it however we want,” Cromwell said of the sales tax dollars. “But the moral authority I don’t think is there to use it for anything other than recreation.”

In 1994, voters were told the new 1 percent sales tax would fund: Parks and recreation projects; the Communi-

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD for a new downtown apartment, office and retail building. Highberger opposed the request.

PIRC members said the seven-story building at Ninth and New Hampshire streets would be a good addition to downtown, and would boost business by bringing more residents to downtown.

The committee also sided with the developers — a group led by Lawrence businessman Doug Compton — who said the project should receive $280,000 in property tax rebates to help pay for public improvements such as sidewalks, sewers and streetlights.

The property is part of a Tax Increment Financing district that was formed in 2000.

At that time, city commissioners said future private developments could be eligible to receive tax rebates for public infrastructure expenses.

PIRC, however, did recommend that the $280,000 be paid out over a 10-year period, beginning in 2013. The development group also had asked for reduced parking rates in the adjacent public parking garage. PIRC did not consider that request Thursday.

Since then, the city also has begun spending about $600,000 per year of sales tax money to fund street projects.

Potential plans Formal plans for a new recreation center haven’t been developed, but Parks and Recreation leaders have been discussing concept plans for the past several years. Features that previously have been mentioned as possibilities for a new center include: ● Six full-size gymnasiums that could be used to accommodate basketball, volleyball and indoor soccer. The fieldhouse concept has been touted as a potential economic development benefit if it can be used to help draw more youth tournaments to the city. ● A quarter-mile walking/ jogging track that would be built on a mezzanine above the gym space. ● Space for advanced gymnastics equipment. ● Areas for dance, aerobics, fitness and wellness programs.

Lecompton fears for future of post office

Onward and upward 1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Senate to work next week on debt The Senate canceled its planned July Fourth recess on Thursday, but partisan divisions remained razor sharp as the clock ticked on efforts to strike a deal to avoid a government default and trim huge federal deficits.

A day after President Barack Obama accused congressional leaders of procrastinating over the impasse, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced that the chamber would meet beginning next Tuesday. The Republican-run House is not in session this week but had already been scheduled to be at work next week.

Despite the Senate’s schedule change, there was no indication the two sides had progressed in resolving their chief disagreement. Democrats insist that a deficit-cutting package of deep spending cuts also include higher taxes for the wealthiest Americans and fewer tax breaks for oil companies. Republicans say any such agreement would be defeated in Congress, a point Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, RKy., made anew when he invited Obama to meet with GOP lawmakers at the Capitol on Thursday.

Obama honors Gates on last day as chief A visibly moved Defense Secretary Robert Gates paused briefly at a Pentagon retirement ceremony rife with pomp and pageantry, collected himself and told his president: “You’re getting pretty good at this covert ops stuff.”

Barack Obama, the eighth president Gates has served in more than 30 years at the CIA and Department of Defense, had just presented him with the prestigious Medal of Freedom. And Gates was teasing his boss about keeping the award a surprise, in a reference to how Obama had kept the world in the dark about his plan to bring down al-Qaida terrorist leader Osama bin Laden.

Proving that there are sometimes second acts in America, the 67-year-old Gates had an encore retirement Thursday, with considerably more fanfare than accompanied his initial departure from Washington in 1993, when he left the intelligence agency. This goodbye came after Gates spent 4 1/2 years helping to manage protracted wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Petraeus confirmed as CIA director The Senate voted overwhelmingly Thursday to confirm Gen. David Petraeus to be the nation’s CIA director.

The vote was 94-0.

Arguably America’s most famous military commander in a generation, Petraeus has been in charge of U.S.-led international forces in Afghanistan since June 2010. The West Point graduate and 37-year Army veteran is also credited with turning around the war in Iraq, from which U.S. troops have been withdrawing in large numbers.

Petraeus will retire from the army as a four-star general. He replaces Leon Panetta, who will become the next Pentagon chief today.

Crack offenders eligible for early release As many as 12,000 people in federal prison for crack-related crimes can get their sentences reduced as a result of a new law that brought the penalties for the drug more closely in line with those for powdered cocaine, a government commission decided Thursday.

The decision by the U.S. Sentencing Commission applies to approximately 1 in 17 inmates in the federal system. Congress last year substantially lowered the sentences for crack-related crimes such as possession and trafficking, changing a 1980s law that was criticized as racially discriminatory because it came down extra hard on a drug common in poor, black neighborhoods.

Program helps students prepare for higher education

By Joe Preiner jpreiner@ljworld.com

They may not be related, but they’re definitely a family.

That’s what any member of the Haskell Upward Bound program will tell you.

Thursday night, they gathered on the Lawrence university Haskell campus for a University powwow in celebration of another successful year.

Haskell Upward Bound, which helps American Indian high school students prepare for higher education, takes on 60 students during its yearlong sessions. Carlene Morris, the director of the local organization, said teaching and helping the students has become more than a job.

the Native American graduation rates are lower than she’d like, something she hopes Upward Bound will help change.

Rebekka Schlichting, a former student in the program, attended Thursday’s event with other Upward Bound alumni. The future KU student said the program pushed her to focus more on academics.

At the end of the day, the hard work and determination was set aside and old-fashioned fun took its place.

“The drive was well worth it,” Guice said.

“It’s working with the students and making that connection with them,” Morris said of seeing students succeed. “It’s a lifelong connection.”

On Thursday that connection brought together hundreds involved with the program, including Upward Bound students from programs with Kansas State University and Nebraska. While the sounds of drums and dancing filled the air, program faculty looked on with pride.

“They all believe,” said KState student services coordinator Pharamond Guice. “It’s a great thing to watch their minds when they experience something new.”

The program has proved benef icial, as students involved are four times more likely to earn a college degree than other students from similar backgrounds. Morris said

First the U.S. Congress took away its status as a capital city.

Then the United Brethren Church shuttered Lane University in the middle of town.

And now, as the U.S. Postal Service transfers two letter carriers out of town, Lecompton supporters fear they’ll be losing something even more critical to the community’s long-term survival.

Its very identity.

“This ranks right alongside — if not higher — than the events that have occurred here over the last 150 years,” said Paul Bahnmaier, president of the Lecompton Historical Society, citing pivotal changes in the town northwest of Lawrence. “This is our identity. This is our heritage.

This is just a challenge to every man, woman or child who’s ever lived in Lecompton.”

At issue is the Postal Service’s decision to transfer the Lecompton Post Office’s two rural letter carriers to work out of the post office in Perry.

The decision, discovered earlier this month, has riled up folks in the town of about 600. Bahnmaier has joined the Lecompton City Council; state Rep. Tom Sloan, R-Lawrence; and state Sen. Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka and Senate Democratic leader, in calling for the routes to remain in Lecompton.

The goal: Prevent the Postal Service from weakening the operation so much that it becomes a prime candidate for closure.

“It’s vital that Lecompton’s post office remain open, not only to serve local mail users, but to ensure that the city’s history is preserved for future generations,” Hensley said in his letter to postal officials.

The Postal Service understands the concerns and

Trish Hilliard-Emmons, OrthoKansas administrator, said the practice has been working to recruit a spine surgeon since 2004, when Dr. Lance Snyder left the practice to do a sports fellowship in Colorado.

Stuckey said he was attracted to Lawrence because he could join a well-established practice and fill a need in the city of his alma mater.

“To add something new to the practice and the community is exciting,” he said. “There’s not a lot of places with a population the size of Lawrence that don’t have a spine surgeon.”

Stuckey received a bachelor’s

degree in business administration in 2000 at Kansas University, then worked a year with orthopedic surgeons at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

He then returned to KU’s School of Medicine and completed his orthopedic surgery residency in 2010.

This year, he received additional training in spinal trauma, spinal tumors and complex spinal reconstruction through the Texas Medical Center Spine Fellowship program.

Lawrence Memorial Hospital President and CEO Gene Meyer said, “We’re not only excited to have someone, but someone of Dr. Stuckey’s caliber and training.”

Stuckey will bring business

for the hospital and other health services in the community. He will perform surgeries that may require hospitalization and therapy. Then, there’s the prescriptions, X-rays and other testing that will need to be done.

Meyer expects that Stuckey will be busy.

“With the baby boomer population and growing older population, the need for a spine surgeon or spine consults is absolutely important,” he said.

“It’s going to be great to have him in the community.”

OrthoKansas will start taking calls Aug. 1 for appointments.

Q:

Do bicycles and pedestrians have the right of way on the new Burroughs Creek Trail in east Lawrence where it crosses a road? Several times I have seen bicycles cross 15th Street without stopping, and all three times there were vehicles that had to stop abruptly.

A:

According to David Cronin, project engineer for the city of Lawrence, there are signs that instruct pedestrians and cyclists to stop at the intersections and to then proceed crossing the road with caution.

acknowledges the complaints, but its officials are busy finding ways to stem financial losses that amount to $23 million a day, said Richard Watkins, a regional spokesman.

“That’s a heck of a burden to confront every day, even before you open the door,” he said.

Relocating two rural carriers won’t come close to solving the service’s financial problems, he said, but efficiencies are being sought throughout a system that has 220,000 vehicles, with mail being delivered to 150 million addresses with operations in 32,000 communities.

Relocating the routes is about eff iciency, he said, without sacrificing service.

The same carriers will serve the same addresses. The Lecompton Post Office will remain open to sell stamps, accept packages, provide post office boxes and handle all the other services that a community relies upon.

The Postal Service has no plans to close the Lecompton Post Office, Watkins said, and any future decision to pursue such a closure — just as it would be anywhere — would be accompanied with plenty of community meetings, Congressional notifications and other public information.

The decision to relocate the rural routes is an independent one for efficiency’s sake, he said. Nothing more.

“Given the Postal Service’s current financial crisis, there are no guarantees,” he said.

“But this is not an indication that further cuts are coming.

It’s simply a way to save money and preserve service to all our customers, and it makes good business sense to us.”

Victoria Roberts Bahnmaier, who retired in 2007 as Lecompton’s postmaster, doesn’t buy the “business sense.”

Lecompton is growing, has vibrant industrial growth nearby, is rich with historical resources and is primed for even more tourism connected with Constitution Hall and the Territorial Capital Museum, she said.

By sending employees to Perry, she said, the Postal Service essentially is sentencing the Lecompton Post Office to closure.

“This is just the first step,” said Victoria Roberts Bahnmaier, who is married to one of Paul’s cousins. “I’ve seen it happen lots of places.”

Paul Bahnmaier fears that someday soon he’ll be sending out Lecompton Historical Society correspondence, regarding the Territorial Capital Museum, without use of the Lecompton postmark that has grown popular among residents, visitors and students and historians.

The historian simply can’t imagine that happening.

“Then we’d be Perry, Kansas,” he said.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

Residents asked to register special needs

By Chris Hong chong@ljworld.com

Kansas Division of Emergency Management wants residents to register their special needs to ensure they receive proper assistance during an emergency.

Registration is free, and information is only available to public safety agencies. The database is part of the Vulnerable Needs Planning System, a planning tool to help emergency management professionals meet the needs of vulnerable people during disasters and emergencies.

“If you or someone you know has a special need, perhaps mobility issues, oxygen usage or communication difficulties, please take advantage of this system to ensure emergency personnel are aware of your situation,” said Maj. Gen. Lee Tafanelli, director of the Kansas Division of Emergency Management.

Papa Keno’s stays open as bankruptcy filed Papa Keno’s Pizzeria remains open in downtown Lawrence as the company and its owner seek bankruptcy protection.

Greg Keenan filed earlier this month for bankruptcy protection both for himself and for his business, Papa Keno’s Pizzeria Inc., which operates a restaurant at 1035 Mass.

In the filings, Keenan lists debts of $44,000 against assets of $50,000.

Keenan continues to operate the business as a debtor in possession.

Court officials have noted that Keenan’s filing lacks required documents and financial information, and Keenan has been ordered to file such information by July 8. A meeting with creditors is slated for July 25.

Papa Keno’s started two decades ago, in a small Ninth Street shop a half block east of Massachusetts Street. The restaurant soon would relocate to its current home, and Keenan would expand to start restaurants in the Kansas City area and Denver.

In 2005 and in 2008, he ran into trouble with the Kansas Department of Revenue for unpaid taxes. At one point the restaurant and its assets were seized.

Attempts to reach Keenan were unsuccessful.

Minnesota government shuts down ST. PAUL, MINN. (AP) — Minnesota stumbled into its second government shutdown in six years on Thursday, with a partisan divide over taxes and spending to close a $5 billion deficit becoming only more bitter as a midnight deadline came and went without agreement.

Any hope of a last-minute budget deal between Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican legislative leaders evaporated around 10 p.m., when Dayton appeared to say he and Republicans were still fundamentally divided over how much the state should spend the next two years and that he saw no chance of avoiding a shutdown.

“It’s significant that this shutdown will begin on the Fourth of July weekend,” Dayton said. “On that date we celebrate our independence. It also reminds us there are causes and struggles worth fighting for.”

Republicans appeared again minutes later, and tried to hang blame for the shutdown around the governor’s neck. They said the two sides were closer than he admitted, and they criticized his refusal to call a special session so lawmakers could pass a “lights on” budget bill to keep government running. Dayton refused, saying he’s been clear for months that he would only agree to a total budget approach.

“I think the governor’s insistence that we pass a full budget is not going to be of much comfort to Minnesotans who are going to see delays on the highways because construction projects stop,” said Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch, RBuffalo. “It’s not going to comfort people who can’t use our state parks, or who can’t get a driver’s license.”

The two sides didn’t meet again ahead of the deadline.

The shutdown means thousands of layoffs, a standstill for road projects and padlocked state parks just ahead of the Fourth of July weekend.

The effects were already being felt hours ahead of the deadline, as people rushed Thursday to get driver’s and fishing licenses, and park officials began warning campers to pack their gear and leave.

Though nearly all states are having severe budget problems this year, Minnesota was alone in its futility, thanks to Dayton’s determination to raise taxes on high-earners to close a $5 billion deficit and the Republican Legislature’s insistence that the gap should be closed by cutting spending.

Negotiations between Dayton and legislative leaders were fitful Thursday, starting and stopping with no outward signs of progress. After talks broke down for the last time, Dayton and GOP leaders gave conflicting accounts of the last few rounds of offers.

CDC: Lead poisoning rate high in Kansas

By MIke Stobbe Associated Press Writer

ATLANTA — The lead poisoning rate for U.S. adults has fallen by more than half in the last 15 years, but it remains unusually high in Pennsylvania, Missouri and Kansas, federal health off icials said Thursday.

About 6 out of every 100,000 employed adults had lead poisoning in 2009, down from 14 per 100,000 in 1994.

“It’s definitely good news.

It dropped by over 50 percent,” said one of the study’s authors, Dr. Geoff Calvert of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Lead poisoning in adults is almost always due to at-work exposures. CDC officials say the decline may be tied to a reduction in the number of manufacturing jobs that involve lead, lead paint or lead dust.

One example: Employment in the lead and zinc ore mining industry dropped from more than 2,200 in 2001 to 1,666 in 2009, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

Improved conditions in factories or at construction sites where lead is found may be another explanation, said Calvert, who leads a CDC team that monitors work-

place illnesses.

Lead is a metal that can harm the brain, kidneys and other organs. For years it was used in gasoline and paint.

Children are especially susceptible, and there is a much lower threshold in blood lead levels for a child to be diagnosed with lead poisoning.

The new report is based on adults who had been to the doctor and were found to have lead amounts in their blood that are high enough to cause at least some symptoms, such as irritability and concentration problems.

CDC researchers looked at 1994, the first year for which data was available, and 2009, the most recent year. Not all states reported data, but the results are believed to be nationally representative, Calvert said.

Although the national average in 2009 was 6 cases of lead poisoning per 100,000 adults, the rate was at or above 20 per 100,000 in Pennsylvania, Missouri and Kansas.

The types of industry in those states are believed to be an explanation. For example, Missouri is a traditional home of lead mining. Kansas produces lead-using storage batteries, like the kinds used in automobiles.

CHICAGO — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday he’ll stay in his job for the “foreseeable future,” addressing speculation he might leave the Obama administration following the current round of budget negotiations.

“I live for this work. It’s the only thing I’ve ever done. I believe in it,” Geithner said when questioned about his plans by former President Bill Clinton onstage at a meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative.

“We have a lot of challenges in the country and I’m going to be doing it for the foreseeable future,” he said.

Geithner, 49, acknowledged the interest in his plans, noting that he’d been commuting back and forth from New York and had a son who was going to be finishing high school there. Earlier a person familiar with his thinking told The Associated Press that Geithner saw an opening to potentially leave once a deal was reached on raising the nation’s borrowing limit, but the source emphasized no decisions had been made. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

Time to speculate: Diana would have turned 50 today

By Robert Barr Associated Press Writer

LONDON — Princess Diana would have been 50 years old today, perhaps the only certainty about what might have been in a life abruptly cut short by a 1997 car crash in Paris, with a new boyfriend, two months past her 36th birthday.

Off icially, there are no plans for marking the birth anniversary; Prince William, Diana’s elder son, will be in Canada on Friday with his wife Catherine on their first big international tour as husband and wife.

But the “what if?” questions abound as the world looks back on Diana’s life and legacy.

Andrew Morton, the British journalist who was Diana’s confidant and collaborator on an explosive book about the marriage turmoil that led to a royal divorce, believes she might now be living in the United States.

“A lot more billionaires live in America than in Britain,” Morton said.

“And she probably would have snagged a guy with all the toys; you know, the guy with the private jet, the boat and the house in the Hamptons.

Maybe started a second family. She always wanted a baby girl, and that was an ambition that she held very dear.”

A new life in America is exactly the future imagined by British writer Monica Ali in her new novel “Untold Story.”

It depicts a princess closely modeled on Diana who fakes her own death, changes her name and rebuilds her life in a small American town — until

PRINCESS DIANA SMILES as she arrives at the Tate Gallery in London, July 1, 1997, to attend the Centenary Gala honoring the world famous museum. Princess Diana would have been 50 years old today. the paparazzi who dogged her past threaten catch up with her.

The enduring fascination Diana commands in the United States was in evidence on the latest cover of Newsweek, which showed a computergenerated image of Diana at 50, strolling next to William’s bride.

The image, which came under widespread criticism for being “creepy,” was for an article by Newsweek editorin-chief Tina Brown titled “If She Were Here Now.” However irresistible that question is to some, Diana’s former secretary Patrick Jephson says the speculation is “entertaining perhaps, but hardly useful.”

“The f irst Mrs. Wales

might by now be solving conflicts, banishing poverty, feeding the world’s hungry or even breeding spaniels in happy rural obscurity. Alas, we will never know,” Jephson said in a commentary for The Daily Telegraph newspaper.

“Instead we have an even greater enigma. Why is it that 14 years after her death she continues to figure so large in popular imagination?”

It’s a power that can be measured in dollars — $800,000 in the case of a black dress in which Diana danced with John Travolta in 1985, sold at auction in Toronto last month, or $34,000 for a letter to her nanny, auctioned in 2008.

Inevitably, there’s a Facebook page, where one post says “neither time nor reason, will change the way we feel.”

A website, www.high50.com, offers some speculation about what a 50-year-old Diana would be doing.

Contributors speculated that she might be living in New York, getting botoxed, happily married or happily divorced (again), undergoing therapy, working hard for charities.

“She was a very down-toearth kind of woman and I think she’d have embraced 50 with a certain amount of resolution. I think she’d have found it quite amusing that she’d gotten that far,” said Bruce Oldfield, one of the British designers who worked for Diana. One of his dresses for her sold for $163,000 in the auction.

“I think she’d live in New York,” Oldfield said.

Larger corn crop may slow inflation ST. LOUIS (AP) — U.S. food prices may ease later this year now that farmers have planted the second-largest corn crop in nearly seven decades.

The size of this year’s corn crop will be 92.3 million acres, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Thursday.

That’s 9 percent larger than the average annual corn crop over the past decade. The only crop bigger in the past 67 years was planted in 2007.

Many analysts had worried that wet weather this spring would cut the number of corn acres. But record-high prices are encouraging farmers to use more acres for corn, and less for soybeans and wheat.

A greater crop estimate drove corn futures down 30 cents to close at nearly $6.21 per bushel. That’s the maximum price change allowed by futures exchanges. Corn rose to a record high of $7.99 per bushel earlier this month.

More expensive grain has led to food price increases

this year. That could ultimately make everything from beef to cereal to soft drinks more expensive at the supermarket.

For all of 2011, the USDA predicts food prices will rise 3 percent to 4 percent.

A huge harvest in August could ultimately slow food inflation. It typically takes six months for changes in commodity prices to affect retail food prices in the U.S. Analysts say consumers could see some relief at the supermarket by early 2012.

“All of us who perceived tighter (corn) supplies up to this point, all of us were proven wrong today,” said Jason Ward, an analyst with Northstar Commodity in Minneapolis.

Industry traders had expected just 90.8 million acres of corn had been planted. Knowing that far more corn is in the pipeline will likely pull down grain prices dramatically this summer, Ward said.

Farmers chose to plant

corn at the expense of this year’s soybean crop. They planted only 75.2 million acres of soybeans, about 3 percent less than last year.

Farmers have a limited supply of good farmland and usually trade one crop for another on their acreage.

“It seemed to me there was $100 to $150 per acre more money in the corn than there was in the beans,” said Tom Kreutzer, who planted 150 acres of corn on his farm near Wakeeney, Kan. “That’s the kind of math that a lot of guys were using.”

A separate USDA report Thursday estimated the U.S. had 3.67 billion bushels of corn in storage. Most analysts were expecting a reserve of just 3.3 billion bushels, said John Sanow, an analyst with Telvent DTN in Omaha, Neb. If the reserve estimate is accurate, it means backup supplies could be higher this year and next. That would ease fears of a shortage.

Federal jobless tax expiring quietly WASHINGTON — Nearly every private employer in the U.S. will get a tax cut today.

It won’t affect workers’ paychecks. But the expiration of a 35-year-old “temporary” unemployment tax — about $14 a year per worker — will mean real money for some big companies at a time when President Barack Obama is pushing Congress to raise taxes on businesses by closing some loopholes.

Amid a fierce debate over whether higher taxes should be part of a deal to reduce annual deficits — in exchange for letting the government go further into debt — the small cut in federal unemployment taxes has received little attention on Capitol Hill. Most employers probably don’t even know they are getting it, especially those who are being hit with bigger increases in state jobless taxes.

But business groups say every little bit helps, whether you’re a small employer struggling to make a payroll or a huge company like Wal-Mart, with more than 1.4 million U.S. workers.

Veteran hire A veteran Lawrence school administrator is coming out of retirement to serve the Tonganoxie district.

T

he Tonganoxie school district this week hired a veteran northeast Kansas administrator to a one-year contract to head the district while the school board searches for its next superintendent.

Randy Weseman, the long-time and now retired Lawrence school superintendent, will lead the Tonganoxie district for the next year.

It’s a smart move for both Tonganoxie and Weseman, who will bring experience, enthusiasm, energy and knowledge to the job.

Weseman also can provide valuable insight to school board members as they go through the process of hiring a new superintendent.

Weseman said after his interview that he and the Tonganoxie school leaders had a good chemistry and that it was a “pretty easy decision” once he was offered the job. He replaces Kyle Hayden, who is taking a job as an assistant superintendent in the Lawrence school district.

Weseman was a solid leader of Lawrence schools and is respected by educators statewide. After student-teaching in Lawrence, he was hired as a high school teacher in 1976. He later taught at the junior high level and was an assistant principal and principal at the junior high level before being named superintendent in 2000. Weseman has done consulting for the Kansas Association of School Boards since retiring in 2009.

He led the Lawrence school district in both good and in challenging times. Lawrence is the seventh largest school district in the state, with enrollment last school year at 10,600; Tonganoxie’s enrollment is 1,900 students.

The smaller district will, no doubt, be a change of pace for Weseman, but Tonganoxie school officials should feel fortunate to find such an experienced educator to lead the district for the next year and help set a strong course for the future.

Petraeus reflects on years in uniform KABUL — A week ago, late on the night that President Obama announced he would be withdrawing troops from Afghanistan faster than the military had wanted, Gen. David Petraeus held a videoconference from Washington with his senior staff, who were assembled in Kabul for their 7:30 a.m. meeting.

He assured them their campaign plan was still “doable,” even with fewer numbers over time, and told them to stay on the offensive.

The call was a classic Petraeus move — a show of optimism and determination, combined with realpolitik. He must have been disappointed, but he kept it well hidden, explaining to his team that the president’s decision had been shaped by broader factors than the military’s preferred timetable.

Petraeus will leave his command of NATO forces here in July with the outcome of the Afghanistan War far from certain. He hasn’t achieved the same decisive turnaround as in Iraq, where he led a surge of U.S. troops that pulled the country back from the brink of civil war.

The Afghan conflict has proved more intractable.

Petraeus says he knew from the beginning that a quick “flip” in Afghanistan was impossible.

But he’s still confident that his counterinsurgency strategy can work here, even as the U.S. draws down its troops. He says the definition of success will be the transfer of responsibility for security to the Afghans by 2014,

when U.S. combat troops will leave.

Politicians from both parties are already writing off Afghanistan as a lost cause. But Petraeus argues that Obama’s December 2009 troop surge is beginning to pay dividends, even as Washington sours on the war: The level of violence in recent weeks has been down about 5 percent from a year ago, and the Taliban has failed to regain control of Kandahar and Helmand strongholds that were cleared in 2010. Afghan troops are performing better, he insists, and they are suffering three times as many

deaths as NATO forces.

The negatives are also obvious to many observers. The government of President Hamid Karzai remains grossly corrupt, and governance around the country is somewhere between poor and nonexistent. Afghanistan is a battered and dysfunctional country.

The Petraeus legacy will be debated by military historians for years to come. He is the most prominent general of his generation, celebrated as a miracle worker after the rescue of Baghdad but still resented by some colleagues as too political. Somehow, he has been the favorite military commander of both George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who is plucking him from Kabul to head the CIA. During an interview in his office here, Petraeus offered an unusual self-assessment when I asked him to list his strengths and weaknesses as commander.

At the top of his list of positives was creation of the Afghan Local Police, a bottom-up security initiative that recognized Afghanistan’s tribal makeup and was initially resisted and then embraced by Karzai. He also mentioned the anti-corruption campaign headed by his longtime adviser, Brig. Gen. H.R. McMaster. And he cited development of the framework for transition to Afghan security control, province by province, that will commence next month.

I asked Petraeus about the broader issue of his leadership style, which is intense and focused, even by military stan-

dards. A small example is the way he cleaned up the NATO coalition’s headquarters, which was a dilapidated mess under previous commanders. What he did was simple but decisive: He says he walked around the compound with the base commandant for 30 minutes and told him what to fix.

The brooms and paintbrushes followed quickly.

Petraeus’ self-critique focused on areas that led to friction with the Afghan population, undermining the counterinsurgency goal. He says he should have moved more quickly to rein in private security contractors, whose presence was a major irritant to Afghans. And he should have worked harder to reduce coalition-caused civilian casualties, which declined on his watch but still angered Karzai and the nation.

What’s hard to imagine is that after 37 years in the Army, Petraeus is finally taking off the uniform — one so heavy with the battle ribbons that symbolize his ambition and achievement. He says it will be easier because he is joining another “family” of service at the CIA. It would be harder, he says, if he were heading to the beach to contemplate lucrative business or book-writing offers. Next week he will celebrate the Fourth of July in a combat post for the seventh time in the last nine years. He says that “taking the final pass-in-review” may “start to weigh more heavily in the weeks ahead.”

Obama should ‘evolve’ faster “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” — Martin Luther King Or, we could quote Hamlet’s soliloquy: “To be or not to be.”

The latter seems an accurate depiction of President Obama’s agonizing — his views are “evolving,” he says — on whether to support marriage equality for gay men and lesbians. The former describes the way his hesitation is likely regarded by them and their allies.

Last week, the day before the New York legislature took the historic step of legalizing same-sex marriage in that state, the president, speaking at a gay and lesbian fundraiser, asked for patience on the same issue. He offered platitudes about eventual equality, but could not bring himself to say the “M” word, allowing only that gay couples deserve the same rights as other couples. Otherwise, he held fast to the position he espoused during the 2008 campaign: support for civil unions — not samesex marriage.

Which is a semantic con job that allows him to pretend he doesn’t know marriage is a civil union. As a legal matter, after all, marriage is not defined by love and commitment, but by the same factors that define a so-called civil union: tax advantages, inheritability, and other, similar benefits.

It is as a cultural matter that love and commitment enter the definition, and those are things

them such that they are officially recognized by government and society. Gay men and lesbians are deserving of that dignity.

So one wishes Obama would think twice before counseling them to be patient. The historical parallels to Robert Kennedy offering the same counsel in the years when buses and churches were being firebombed are too acute and renders King’s rejoinder too on the nose.

Obama has been a good president where gay issues are concerned, has supported anti-hate crimes legislation and the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” But marriage equality is the Rubicon he has not yet brought himself to cross. He should start crossing.

Not that doing the right thing should be a matter of public opinion, but support for marriage equality is climbing toward the majority. Voices of fear are being shouted down, winds of change are blowing and we approach a crossroads of possibility where the need for leadership is critical.

Two words of advice, then, for President Obama: Evolve faster.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 1, 1911: YEARS "Patrons of the AGO Lawrence post IN 1911 office have had no complaint to make regarding the order which keeps the carrier windows closed on Sundays. Very few persons go to the post office at all on Sunday, though it is understood that if notice is previously given it is possible to obtain one's mail at the general delivery window, which is open for two hours during the day.

Even business firms have found that they can wait until Monday.

Going to the post office was popular more for the stroll it afforded than for anything else. The mail itself was not important. Since the current post office order, persons returning from church have found it just as cozy to take their walk in some other direction. The only two persons who asked at the general delivery for their mail Sunday were Sunday School Superintendents, a statement that is printed as news and not as criticism."

over which a president has no jurisdiction. So the argument is really about terminology. Obama draws a distinction without a difference because he apparently cannot bring himself to say the dangerous word: marriage.

And here, allow me a confession: I’ve been where Obama is.

Back in 1996, I wrote in this space how I’d had no issue with gay adoption or military service, but gay marriage always stopped me. I struggled for months to justify it, to come up with a reason that satisfied my own conscience.

Nonprofits lose tax-exempt status WICHITA — Hundreds of nonprofit groups in Wichita have lost their tax-exempt status because they failed to file required paperwork with the IRS. The Wichita Eagle reports more than 250 nonprofits that lost their exemptions can no longer accept tax-deductible donations.

Changes made to laws governing tax exemptions in 2006 required all tax-exempt groups to file returns each year regardless of how much money they brought in. Prior to that those with yearly earnings of less than $25,000 were not required to file.

Those that did not file for three straight years starting in 2007 automatically lost their exemptions in June.

The same law has prompted the IRS to revoke tax exemptions for more than 275,000 organizations nationwide, including charities, trade associations, sports organizations and labor unions.

Secret Cities There’s a lot of buzz around Lawrence’s Hospital Ships. The group’s new album, “Lonely Twin,” has received national notice from the likes of Stereogum.com and NPR Music’s Song of The Day. The group, which features a rotating cast of players, is the brainchild of Jordan Geiger, a former member of Minus Story, Shearwater and The Appleseed Cast.

They will open for Secret Cities, a Fargo outfit on the Western Vinyl label. The trio have been making the rounds lately, including playing the Record Bar with the reunited Golden Republic.

Their music is infectiously poppy with some noticeable noise rock influences and big, big drums to help drive their dynamic, upbeat songs forward. Their best songs manage to go three or four different places in a four-minute window. No easy feat.

BALDWIN CITY — It’s only been 15 months since he was introduced as the head men’s basketball coach at Baker University, but he carries himself like a man who’s been running the Wildcats’ program for 15 years.

Watching Brett Ballard rev through his second-annual BU summer camp — which wrapped up Thursday with the help of current Jayhawks Thomas Robinson and Ben McLemore — gives a great impression of just how comfortable the former Kansas University player and assistant coach is in his new gymnasium.

“I’m excited about where I’m at,” said Ballard, 31, now in his second year at Baker. “We’ve gotta get a lot better on the basketball court and I definitely think we’re going to be a lot better next year. But as far as the overall feeling, I’m really, really enjoying it.”

Year No. 1, in which the Wildcats finished 12-18 overall, including an 8-12 mark in the Heart of America Athletic Conference, brought a variety of highs and lows for Ballard, who spent seven years on Bill Self’s staff at Kansas.

In his first game as a head coach, the Wildcats won on a wild, lastsecond shot that went viral on the Internet and still is being talked about to this day. At the same time,

KANSAS BASKETBALL PLAYERS THOMAS ROBINSON, LEFT, AND BEN MCLEMORE SHARE A LAUGH during a break at the Brett Ballard Basketball Camp on Thursday in Baldwin City. there were several games — wins and losses — from which Ballard left the gym frustrated about the performance. But Ballard kept a level head, something that really impressed BU athletic director Theresa Yetmar.

“Brett def initely settled in exactly how I expected he would,” Yetmar said. “He was very professional, always very prepared and our guys really responded to the intensity and energy he brought to the program. We needed that.”

Every once in a while, that energy came out of nowhere.

“I think a lot of people were surprised by how he was on the bench during games,” Yetmar said. “He paces a little and he stomps his foot from time to time. He’d always been a behind-the-scenes kind of guy at KU, so to see him get into it that much was very entertaining.”

According to Ballard, it also was very genuine.

“I’m a competitive guy,” he said.

“I’m not necessarily real boisterous, but I believe in playing hard and getting after it and I love the way our guys responded to that.”

Ballard, who played for former KU coach Roy Williams from 2001-02, said he realized, last season, that his coaching style was more in line with Self’s.

“I love the way coach Self is,” he said. “He’ll get on those guys hard and the second it’s over, it’s over.

That’s how I try to be. I know our players don’t always love me because I’m on ’em in practice. But at the same time we joke around and have a lot of fun.”

Added Robinson, who played under Ballard for one year at Kansas: “He’s definitely the same guy. B-Ballard was always respected and his word was always just as strong as coach Self’s. I see him bringing the same stuff over here.

I know they had a good season and I think he’s going to do a great job here.”

Denver Nuggets community relations director Mark Randall hopes the current NBA lockout does not stretch as long as the last.

“It was in 1999. We didn’t start until February that year,” recalled Randall, a 6-foot-8, 235-pound former Kansas University power forward, who was added to the Randall Nuggets’ 199899 roster immediately after the lockout.

“I think we wound up packing 50 games in three months.”

The NBA formulated a killer schedule in hopes of salvaging as much money as possible for players and owners.

“You got nothing,” Randall said of pay during work stoppages. “In the NBA, the first check you get is Nov. 15. I believe it’s the same today. What you did was work out with individual players to make sure you were in shape in case the lockout was lifted. Fortunately it was.

“I stayed in Denver working out with LaPhonso Ellis, Bryant Stith, Tommy Hammonds, Rodney Rogers. We spent a lot of time at the athletic club.”

Randall — he taught fundamentals to youths at this week’s Cole Aldrich BasketFor the ball Camp in national Olathe — said story on the the current NBA locking lockout was out its play“inevitable.” ers and put“From everyting the 2011thing I’ve heard, 12 season in the owners are jeopardy, see going to stand page 3B. firm. The players have their strong opinions, strong feelings about their stance,” Randall said.

Randall, 43, was a member of KU’s 1988 NCAA title team and second-leading scorer on KU’s 1991 national runner-up team. A first-round draft pick of the Chicago Bulls, he played four seasons in the NBA. Randall’s current duties with the Nuggets include community relations work with the players and team corporate sponsors, as well as scheduling of the team mascot, in-game promotions, and color analysis on Altitude TV. He ran his own basketball camp in Denver until this summer.

“I love doing basketball camps. I had my own for 18 years.

This is the first summer I won’t be doing it,” Randall said. “We’ve got our (Nuggets) players more active in camps. I think more

NATIONAL BRIEFS TENNIS Sharapova reaches Wimbledon final WIMBLEDON, ENGLAND — So what if Maria Sharapova managed to win only two of the first 13 points of her Wimbledon semifinal Thursday, dropping the first three games?

So what if she bungled her serve so badly that she double-faulted 13 times?

All that mattered to Sharapova was that she roared — well, shrieked — her way back into the match, taking 12 of the last 16 games to beat wild-card entry Sabine Lisicki of Germany 6-4, 63 and return to the final at the All England Club for the first time since 2004, when she won the title at 17.

“It’s been many years, but it’s a really great feeling,” Sharapova said. “Today wasn’t my best match of the championships, so I was real happy to get through in two sets. But, yeah, it’s pretty amazing to be back on that stage.”

In Saturday’s final, Sharapova will play No. 8 Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, who hit nine

aces and dictated points throughout her 6-1, 3-6, 6-2 victory over No. 4 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus.

GOLF Scott, Haas tied at AT&T National NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA. — Adam Scott is making his late decision to play the AT&T National look like a good one. The Australian made a couple of long birdie putts and hit a 5-iron to 2 feet for birdie on the 14th hole on his way to a 4-under 66 on Thursday to share the lead with Hunter Haas.

Only 28 of the 120 players managed to break par at Aronimink.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a 1-under-par 69.

NFL Owners, players meet all day MINNEAPOLIS — NFL Commissioner Roger

Goodell and NFLPA head DeMaurice Smith met again Thursday, expanding talks on a pro football labor deal for the first time this week to include owners and players.

Sitting down with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan at a Minneapolis law firm were a handful of owners — John Mara of the New York Giants, Clark Hunt of the Kansas City Chiefs, Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots — and players including Jeff Saturday of the Indianapolis Colts, Brian Waters of the Kansas City Chiefs and Domonique Foxworth of the Baltimore Ravens.

Late in the afternoon, the NFLPA had a halfhour conference call to update players, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the labor talks are not being released, said “no big news” was announced but there was the same kind of optimism as last week when negotiations seemed to be making progress.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

NBA to lock out players NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA’s thrilling season came with a high price tag.

LeBron’s move to Miami and Dirk’s title in Dallas couldn’t hide a simple fact: Owners insisted they were losing money, perhaps $300 million this season, and weren’t interested in subsidizing a system they felt guaranteed they’d keep losing more.

So the NBA will lock out its players, a long-expected move that puts the 2011-12 season in jeopardy and comes as the NFL is trying to end its own work stoppage that began in March.

The latest lockout began at 12:01 EDT today. It will last until players and owners can agree on a new collective bargaining agreement, one owners demand must give all teams a chance to profit.

“We had a great year in terms of the appreciation of our fans for our game. It just wasn’t a profitable one for the owners, and it wasn’t one that many of the smaller market teams particularly enjoyed or felt included in,” Commissioner David Stern said. “The goal here has been to make the league prof itable and to have a league where all 30 teams can compete.”

Despite a three-hour meeting Thursday and a final proposal from the players —

which NBA leaders said would have raised average player salaries to $7 million in the sixth year of the deal — the sides could not close the enormous gulf between their positions.

“The problem is that there’s such a gap in terms of the numbers, where they are and where we are, and we just can’t find any way to bridge that gap,” union chief Billy Hunter said.

All league business is officially on hold, starting with the free agency period that would have opened today.

The NBA’s summer league in Las Vegas already has been canceled, preseason games in Europe were never scheduled, and players might have to decide if they want to risk playing in this summer’s Olympic qualifying tournaments without the NBA’s help in securing insurance in case of injury.

And teams will be prohibited from having any contact with their players, most of whom won’t be paid until a deal is done but insist they’ll hang in anyway.

“We’re going to stand up for what we have to do, no matter how long it’s going to take,” Thunder star Kevin Durant told The Associated Press.

“No matter how long the lockout’s going to take, we’re going to stand up. We’re not going to give in.”

BRIEFLY Ex-Jayhawk Talib won’t stand trial until 2012 Former Kansas University star cornerback Aqib Talib reportedly will not stand trial for a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon until 2012.

Police said they believe Talib, 25, and his mother, Okolo Talib, shot at his sister’s boyfriend on March 21 in Garland, Texas. The man was not injured.

Talib, currently a cornerback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been out on a $25,000 bond since March 30.

Talib’s attorney, Frank Perez, told the St. Petersburg Times on Thursday that Talib had his trial scheduled for March 26, 2012, in Texas.

The former Jayhawk has 15 interceptions in three seasons in the NFL.

Ritchie Price to rejoin KU baseball team Former Kansas University baseball standout Ritchie Price was named an assistant coach for the KU baseball program on Thursday.

Price spent the last three seasons as the head coach of South Dakota State, where he compiled a 102-71 record.

Price will work with the KU offense, infielders, handle recruiting duties and serve as the team’s third base coach.

Price was a four-year starter at shortstop for KU from 20032006 for his father, current KU baseball head coach Ritch Price.

Ritchie Price will replace former Kansas assistant coach Jay Uhlman, who left to pursue other opportunities.

showed improvement throughout the 2010-11 season, and he appreciated how much they welcomed him into the program right away.

But he’s not going to be completely content until BU is winning on a regular basis.

“Our seniors were great last year,” Ballard said. “But we’ve gotta get a little more talent and we’ve gotta be committed to the mind-set that it takes to win. Losing is a habit and so is winning. We have to believe that we’re going to win and I think we’ll take another step in that direction this year.

Until you do it consistently, you gotta preach it every day and continue to work towards it.”

Work was never something Ballard shied away from.

but I’m pretty sure I’m on it.

I’m gonna do all I can do this summer to make sure it doesn’t matter what other teams do.”

Robinson a workout monster Since the day he decided to return to Kansas for his junior season, KU forward Thomas Robinson has focused on one thing and one thing alone.

“I just work out, work out, work out. That’s it,” said Robinson between sessions of Brett Ballard’s Baker University summer basketball camp on Thursday. “All I’m focused on right now is preparing for my junior year and trying to help my team. I’ll be able to show more of my game with more reps and more minutes on the floor.”

Asked what challenges that might bring, Robinson was honest: “I don’t know yet. I don’t know what’s on the other teams’ scouting reports,

McLemore enjoys new home Freshman Ben McLemore, of St. Louis, has been in town for about a month. So far, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard has settled in nicely to his new surroundings and has had no problem calling Lawrence home.

“Every time I wake up, I think to myself, ‘I’m finally here. I’m finally in college and at KU,’” McLemore said.

Though workouts, classes and camps have kept him busy, McLemore said he was adjusting well to life in Lawrence and thanked his teammates for helping make the transition easy.

“They all are treating me like a brother,” he said. “I’m new to this family and they’re all giving me a lot of advice and stuff like that. We’ve got a little bond going. I just work out a lot and I’m taking care of my school work, too. Right now, I’m just trying to make sure I’m ready to bring my Agame.”

guard Brad Sanders has received scholarship offers from Maryland, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Colorado. He’s also heard from Houston, Oklahoma, Wichita State and others.

KU’s staff plans on evaluating Houston Defenders combo guard Sanders on the AAU circuit.

“I think KU is pretty interested. They need to see me play, which is respectful. I can definitely see that, so they plan on watching me this July,” Sanders told Rivals.com.

“Depending on what KU’s needs are, and if they think I’m a fit for what Kansas basketball is, then they’ll make a move. I feel like they’re interested, and I’m pretty excited.”

Conner Frankamp, a 6-0 junior-to-be out of Wichita North, made an unofficial visit to KU on Thursday, Rivals.com reported. He told Rivals he received a scholarship offer on his visit. He has heard from KU, Missouri, Oklahoma, UCLA and others.

He’s currently ranked No. 65 in the Class of 2013.

Those looking to experience competitive cycling for the first time should definitely show up Sunday for the

“lightning-fast” Criterium, Sanner said.

And there’s plenty of outside attractions to keep more casual cycling fans entertained.

“I think we have something for everyone, and that’s what so unique and great about the Tour of Lawrence,” Sanner said.

Readers share counseling success stories

Dear Annie: I started counseling a few weeks after my father died. It was recommended by my faculty’s office.

I went in for grief counseling, but walked out with papers telling me how to properly take multiple-choice tests. A year later, I had a major breakdown and sought counseling at my new school. After our first meeting, I knew we’d have a productive relationship, and I kept seeing this counselor even after I graduated. Talking to a counselor is a lot like talking confidentially with a really intelligent, impartial friend.

Your secrets are safe, your fears are heard, and eventually — with your help and dedication — solutions can be discovered. — No Name

Annie’s Mailbox

years and told my wife I wanted out. She suggested marriage counseling. We went to several sessions together and separately. Halfway through my first private session, the counselor asked, “What would you miss most if you no longer had your wife?” I instantly said, “Her cooking.” He considered that and said, “I think you should get a divorce.” That was 12 years ago, and I only regret not doing it sooner. — Happy Guy

became empowered not to engage in anything verbally, physically or mentally with which I feel uncomfortable. I learned that we cannot change anyone by being critical. Today, I am a very happy person because I know I am in control of my own life. — Most Fortunate

and being socially rejected, Dear Annie: Through therand counseling helped me apy, I gained conf idence, overcome these things. I found learned to take responsibility my current counselor through for my own actions and a Google search. What is so important is to know that you don’t need to stick with the first counselor you find. I scheduled several consultations in one day so I could compare them until I found someone I liked. — N.N.

It’s probably not wise to get too worked up about live-action cartoons aimed at 11year-olds. But I found it difficult to watch “Bucket & Skinner’s Epic Adventures” (7 p.m., Nickelodeon) without a haunting sense that pop culture is stuck in an epic rut more than a half century in the making.

“Epic” is pure fantasy, a buddy comedy shot in super- saturated colors, set in a fantasy beach community where the high school has a surfing team and where the students appear to major in weightlifting, wisecracking and Advanced Dude Studies. Taylor Gray stars as Bucket, the “smart” one, while Dillon Lane is Skinner, a space case who occasionally stumbles upon the answer.

Together, the boys navigate the hallways, the cliques and a part-time job while taking time to ogle the girls, including classmate Kelly (Ashley Argota). The boys’ hairdos make their heads seem remarkably oversized, like bobblehead dolls or male Olsen twins.

While their attitudes seem lifted from “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” the plot for the pilot revolves around a school election and echoes films, including “Election” and “Napoleon Dynamite.” In fact, from the surf- town setting to the “Monkees”-style slapstick, every single second and frame of “Bucket & Skinner” seems derived from other sources. If some mad scientist had distilled every goofy kids’ show ever made, he might come up with this. It’s both brilliant and oppressive, and like any synthetic creation, sterile.

Some may find comfort that today’s tweens are watching shows remarkably similar to those enjoyed by their parents or even grandparents. More than half a century separates “Bucket & Skinner” from the silly surf movies of the early 1960s. It’s difficult to imagine the youth culture of that period being pacified or entertained by cultural relics from 1910. By the time “Gidget” came around, the “Andy Hardy” and “Henry Aldrich” teen comedies of the early 1940s were dismissed as hopelessly old and insufferably corny.

In Billy Wilder’s 1950 masterpiece “Sunset Boulevard,” Gloria Swanson played Norma Desmond, a once-famous shut-in who can’t stop watching her old silent films, seen as ancient artifacts of a bygone era. Yet “Boulevard” was made only 20 to 25 years after the end of the silent era.

We’re now spoon-feeding children pop relics twice as old as that. In “Sunset Boulevard,” nostalgia was shown to be a kind of mental illness, a tragic affliction resulting in delusion, seclusion and homicide. We seem to have made it our way of life.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A fringe hate group ensnares two brothers on “Flashpoint” (7 p.m., CBS). ● Talks of budget cuts jeopardize the Lions’ quest for a championship season on “Friday Night Lights” (7 p.m., NBC). ● Murder stalks a polygamist marriage on “Bones” (7 p.m., Fox). ● A party ends up on a river’s bottom on “CSI: NY” (8 p.m., CBS) ● Cuddy’s mother (Candice Bergen) is admitted on “House” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Ethics meets candid cameras on “Primetime: What Would You Do?” (8 p.m., ABC).

Cult choice Kevin Costner and Dennis Hopper star in the ambitious 1995 fantasy “Waterworld” (7:45 p.m., Cinemax).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Friday, July 1: This year, when you blow out your candles and make your wish, know that your dreams could happen.

If you are single, that status doesn't need to remain so. You could meet someone quite entrancing. If you are attached, your relationships could become much warmer with the caring you show your sweetie. A fellow Moon Child understands you well.

You cannot avoid a domestic or personal matter much longer. Try not to make any major decisions today, but soon, if possible. Tonight: Close to home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Express your feelings in a meaningful way. Many people could be a bit out of control, reflecting the present lunar activity. New beginnings become possible with a neighbor or close relative. Tonight: The only answer is "yes."

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ Step back and let others run the show. It might be interesting to just watch, but you also can take on a personal project.

Don't allow someone's negativity to become contagious. Tonight: Nothing too complicated.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Zero in on what you want. If you have had a wish you are not sharing, perhaps now is the time to start verbalizing it. Tonight: Where the action is.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Recognize that another person might not be intending to pressure you, but succeeds in doing just that right now. You could become reactive and make a strong decision.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ You have the ability to see the big picture and not respond to an immediate situation. You could be feeling negative or tired. Let those feelings go. Tonight: Opt for something very different.
