The Wichita Eagle/Special to the Journal-World

C.E. DOYLE AND COWBOYS on the Doyle ranch near Englewood, just north of the Oklahoma border and south of Dodge City. Kansas helped fashion the cowboy’s iconic image, but the state doesn’t always get the proper recognition for its contributions to Western culture.

Kansas was original cowboy frontier Editor’s note: This is one in a series of occasional stories written in conjunction with Kansas’ 150th birthday.

By Beccy Tanner The Wichita Eagle

“The typical cowboy … is a bad man to handle.

Armed to the teeth, well mounted, and full of their favorite beverage, the cowboys will dash through the principal streets of a town, yelling. … This they call ‘cleaning out a town.’”

— Kansas newspaper, 1882

Sure, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado all have their mountains.

Texas has its big cities and big-name ranches.

But Kansas gave the Old West everything iconic that westerners hold dear: The boot.

The hat.

The cowgirl.

The Marlboro Man, Matt Dillon, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Buffalo Bill, Billy the Kid. Lee jeans.

Sheplers.

And songs.

But while the evolution of the West began from Kansas, it seldom draws the recognition of other states.

“The challenge for Kansas is that we are not the only western state out there,” said Jay Price, director of the public history program at Wichita State University.

“Texas can be western, New Mexico is western, Arizona, Nevada, Wyo-ming and Colorado — all these

Special to the Journal-World

The backdrop includes mountain scenery. places claim to be western and in some ways pull it off better than we can and are certainly able to market it more,” Price said. “We are simply not the only jeans in town when it comes to being western.”

Perhaps, after nearly a century and a half, the Old West has become a state of mind.

“Anymore, Kansas seems to be like a border state. When people think of the Old West they think

farther west,” said David Flask, director of Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita.

But, Flask said, there are people out there who know Kansas was the cradle of the Old West.

“The international tourist knows exactly where we fit,” Flask said.

“They are big Old West fans and have done their research and know we are the Old West.”

Kansans? Not so much.

“The biggest population

that we have the hardest time convincing is the people who live here,” he said.

“For a long time, if you were western, it meant you were backward. The goal was to promote us as a big, modern place with airplanes as opposed to capitalizing on our history.”

Talk with enough rural Kansans, though, and chances are the Old West still resonates.

Jim Hoy, director of the Center for Great Plains Studies at Emporia State University, remembers the shock he had the first time he gazed at a map of the Old West and Kansas wasn’t included.

“They’d just wiped us out,” he said.

Blame Hollywood.

Blame marketing campaigns.

Think about all the old westerns: Dodge City’s Matt Dillon in “Gunsmoke” rode with mountains as his backdrop; Kevin Costner’s “Dances With Wolves” had Kansas fort names, and even the lead character, Lt. John Dunbar, was a real Kansan, but the movie was filmed in the Dakotas.

And, the Marlboro Man — Wayne Dunafon, from a ranch in northeast Kansas near Wamego and Westmoreland — became an American icon from 1964 to 1978 when he wore a long shearling duster, chaps and a Stetson hat.

“Those icons of the West wouldn’t be without Kansas,” Hoy said. “There wouldn’t be the cowboy, the boot or the hat. The cowboy was born on the dusty Chisholm Trail.”

Former Kansas Attorney General Steve Six is getting the support of the judge he’s trying to replace on the federal appellate bench as the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee plans to debate his nomination Thursday.

Lawrence resident Deanell Reece Tacha, who left the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals to become law dean at Pepperdine University, wrote a letter June 24 in support of Six, her former law clerk and a Lawrence attorney.

“I can say with conf i- Tacha dence that Stephen Six possesses the demeanor, intellect and integrity that characterizes the f inest judges in the nation,” wrote Tacha, who was Six appointed to the 10th circuit 25 years ago by President Ronald Reagan. “He is open and independent in his judgment. He demonstrates the highest standards and professionalism in everything that he does.”

President Barack Obama nominated Six for the position this year, and he has to win Senate confirmation.

Tacha’s letter was addressed to Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Pat Leahy, D-Vt., and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the committee’s ranking Republican.

During the May confirmation hearing, Grassley questioned Six about abortion issues stemming from his tenure as Kansas attorney general.

Tacha also sent copies to Kansas’ two Republican U.S. senators, Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, who have said they oppose the nomination of Six, a Democrat, to the Denver-based appellate court. Roberts and Moran, who do not serve on the judiciary committee, in June said they couldn’t support Six’s nomination based on his qualifications and confirmation hearing testimony. Roberts said Six was not forthcoming during the May hearing.

Cowboys CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

The world is plenty full of faux and wannabe cowboys.

The 1950s and 1960s brought with them TV shows such as “Gunsmoke,” “Bat Masterson” and “Wyatt Earp.”

The 1970s brought in the “Urban Cowboy” look. For some Kansans in their 50s and 60s, that look took a permanent hold, Hoy said.

“There are pockets out there, like in Arizona and Utah, where every CPA and dentist wears a cowboy hat and boots but has never been close to a cow,” Hoy said. “But the Flint Hills, Smoky Hills and western cowboys of Kansas don’t make a splash.

“They are the real thing.”

DEATHS

FAMOUS OUTLAWS Billy the Kid Henry McCarty, later known as Billy the Kid, arrived in Wichita in 1870 with his mother, Catherine McCarty, and his younger brother, Joe. He was 11. By the time his family left Wichita a year later, he and his mother had developed reputations — he as “a street urchin” and she as a business leader.

McCarty’s mother was one of 124 people who signed a petition on July 21, 1870, that helped incorporate Wichita. The owner of a downtown laundry, she was the only female entrepreneur to sign the document.

Classic cowboy image was made in Kansas ‘Boss of the Plains’ Kansas can technically claim the cowboy hat because it was in Kansas territory in 1858 that John B. Stetson made a hat, according to Jim Hoy, director of the Center for Great Plains Studies at Emporia State University.

Stetson was in the gold fields of Colorado — then considered Kansas territory — when he made the widebrim hat with a waterproof lining and 6-inch crown to protect his head and neck from the elements.

Nicknamed the “Boss of the Plains,” the hat protected cowboys from sun and rain, could be used as a water bucket for a horse, a pillow at night and something to shoo the livestock with.

The boot “The story is a cowboy had been in Kansas City and stopped at Olathe and asked for a special kind of boot,” Hoy said. “Instead of the broad, round toe of the military boot, he wanted a pointed toe and a higher, slanted heel.”

Bootmaker Charles Hyer fitted him with the Olathe Cow Boy Boot. The pointed toe was designed to slide easily into stirrups. The high shafts protected the legs from brush and scrub.

Lee Jeans Lee Jeans, the brand started more than a century ago by Salina entrepreneur Henry David Lee, is still a giant in the denim industry.

His intent was to manufacturer work clothes for men.

He founded the company and opened his first garment factory in 1889 in Salina.

Lee was among dozens of manufacturers who capitalized on the jeans concept made popular by Levi Strauss & Co. Lee was the first company to make zip-fly jeans, in 1926.

The Marlboro Man Wayne Dunafon became an

American icon through his modeling appearances in Marlboro cigarette advertisements.

Dunafon was born June 15, 1919, in Yuma, Colo. He moved to Russell, Kan., at age 5 with his parents, attended high school there and worked for several years on ranches in Colorado.

He had a competitive rodeo career, which led him to modeling.

Dunafon appeared in advertisements for Lee Rider jeans, Firestone tires and Chevrolet pickups.

He was the “Marlboro Man” from 1964 to 1978.

The cowgirl Her name is Willie Mathews, and in Caldwell in 1888, she became what historians now believe was the first cowgirl.

She hired on with Samuel Dunn Houston of Clayton, N.M., during the summer of 1888 to drive cattle to Montana.

In Hoy’s book, “Cowboys and Kansas” he writes of how Mathews disguised herself as a man before hiring on with Houston.

When Houston discovered that Willie was a lady, he put her on the train home and hired three men to replace her.

The cowboy’s lament Texas claims it, but the song “The Streets of Laredo” really belongs to Kansas.

First written by Frank Maynard in 1876, “The Dying Cowboy,” wouldn’t be published until 1911 in a book called “Rhymes of the Range and Trail.”

It was about a gunfight and a dying cowboy that Maynard saw in Dodge City.

“As I rode down by Tom Sherman’s bar-room, Tom Sherman’s bar-room so early one day ...”

Tom Sherman’s bar was one of Dodge City’s rowdiest saloons.

Girl, 13, critically injured in bike accident 1 | MOSCOW

More than 100 missing after boat sinks A half-century-old tourist boat with 188 people on board listed and sank quickly in one of the world’s largest reservoirs amid wind and rain Sunday, authorities and survivors said, and dozens of children were believed to be among the 101 people missing.

Two bodies were recovered.

About 30 children gathered in a cockpit in the double-decker Bulgaria moments before it sank into the reservoir on the Volga River, a survivor told the Interfax news agency. Russia’s Vesti 24 television quoted another survivor as saying that the boat “tilted to the right and sank within minutes.”

Crew members had time to open only two lifeboats and could release only one from the ship, survivors told the Itar Tass news agency.

By early today, only two bodies had been recovered from the 66-foot-deep waters of the giant Kuibyshev reservoir, 2 miles from shore.

East 1500 Road and North 1100 Road about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.

Trooper Casey Simoneau said the collision occurred when the girl, traveling east on North 1100 Road, failed to stop at the stop sign and collided with a white Ford pickup truck, traveling south on East 1500 Road.

The pickup was driven by Kathy Robb, 46, of Melvern. Neither she nor the passenger in the

Panetta in Iraq to see officials From one war front to another Sunday, Pentagon chief Leon Panetta hopped from a U.S. outpost in Afghanistan’s southern desert to Baghdad, where he sought to encourage Iraqi leaders to decide soon whether they want a residual American military force beyond year’s end.

He refused to say whether the Obama administration wants the extension, but he expressed concern at a spike in U.S. deaths caused by what American officials believe are sophisticated explosive devices made in Iran.

Panetta prepared for talks today with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and other senior members of a government politically divided more than a year after national elections. Iraq has gone that long without defense or interior ministers, whose departments are responsible for the military and police.

Pay for married gay workers to offset tax When the city of Cambridge issues paychecks to its public employees, nearly two dozen workers find a federal tax on their income that their colleagues don’t have to pay.

Like many people, these 22 school and city workers chose to put their spouses on their employerprovided health insurance. Because they’re in a homosexual relationship, the value of that health coverage is considered taxable income by the federal government.

But starting this month, Cambridge will become what is believed to be the first municipality in the country to pay its public employees a stipend in an attempt to defray the cost of the federal tax on health benefits for their same-sex spouses.

The city employees hit by the extra tax pay an additional $1,500 to $3,000 in taxes a year, and officials estimate the stipends would cost the city an additional $33,000.

Program offers KU retirees outlet, ways to stay active

Roberta Spires said she started the singing club for Kansas University’s Endacott Society for retired faculty and staff because she saw the way singing made people feel.

It’s a way to escape thoughts about Medicare or Social Security benefits, she said, or a whole host of other problems in the world.

“They’re happy,” she said.

“And they don’t worry. It’s too bad the whole world can’t just sit down and sing.”

KU’s Endacott Society isn’t something you find on many other campuses, said Bruce Linton, a retired journalism and f ilm professor who served as the group’s president last year. It’s open to spouses, too.

About 400 people are eligible for membership, and about

ENDACOTT SOCIETY MEMBERS Robert and Sarah Casad are part of the singing group, which performs older songs such as “Polly Wolly Doodle” and “Danny Boy.” 100 attend events regularly, Linton said.

It has its own budget, through an endowed fund and membership fees. Members of the KU Alumni Association can also designate money to go to the society, Linton said.

Most of the activities are at the Adams Alumni Center, where staff members will reserve space for the retirees’ activities.

KU student hopes to develop treatment for liver failure EMILY MANGUS, A DOCTORAL STUDENT AT KANSAS UNIVERSITY, feeds microscopic cells that she is using for an experiment.

Mangus earned a three-year, $90,000 award from the National Science Foundation to research liver regeneration.

By Karrey Britt kbritt@ljworld.com

Wearing a white lab coat and gloves, Kansas University graduate student Emily Mangus carefully feeds microscopic cells inside a plastic container with 24 wells. The pinkcolored food will help the cells survive long enough for her next experiment.

She works under a special hood that keeps the area as sterile as possible. One bad germ and the experiment is over.

“We joke that they are like our kids,” she said of the cells.

She spends about five hours a day inside a small lab on the first floor of Learned Hall on KU’s main campus.

She’s researching liver regeneration.

Her goal is to develop an injectable gel-like substance that will help people with liver failure. The substance

could be used to help people live longer so they can get a liver transplant, or it could be used as a treatment.

Mangus, 25, is able to do the potentially groundbreaking research

because she received a prestigious, three-year, $90,000 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. She is conducting her research in association with KU Medical Center under the guidance

of Cory Berkland and Michael Detamore, both associate professors of chemical and petroleum engineering.

Detamore said if she developed a new technology to help the liver regenerate on its own, then she would be able to help out a tremendous population of patients who might not otherwise survive.

Detamore described Mangus, who is pursuing her doctorate in bioengineering, as a bright and motivated student.

“I think she has a lot of talent across the board from education to research to outreach,” he said. “I think she has tremendous potential

9 schools to serve fresh snacks

Rescue workers pulled more bodies today from the mangled wreckage of a passenger train that derailed in northern India, as the death toll climbed to 67.

Many more bodies were believed trapped under the twisted coaches, and soldiers were using gas cutters to slice through the metal, said Col. Amarjit Dhillon, a senior army official in charge of rescue operations.

The cause of Sunday afternoon’s derailment near the town of Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh state was not immediately known, but newspaper reports said the driver of the Kalka Mail slammed on the train’s emergency brakes to save some cattle squatting on the tracks.

Railway authorities were investigating the cause of the accident, said H.C. Joshi, a senior railway official.

Volunteers and soldiers worked through the night to pull many of the more than 100 injured from the train’s 12 shattered coaches. Officials said the train was carrying about 1,000 passengers, but the exact number was not known.

organized by the Lawrence Bicycle Club. As emergency crews cleared the roadway, dozens of other bicyclists rode by asking what happened.

Lee Merrill, president of the club, said news of the accident had affected the riders.

“The whole club has their thoughts and prayers with the family,” he said. “We hope for a speedy recovery.”

Nine elementary schools in Lawrence will serve fresh fruits and vegetables in classrooms this coming year, a snack menu f inanced by a federal grant intended to bolster learning about healthy foods and eating habits.

The Lawrence school district will receive $147,650 for the program, enough to provide snacks once or twice a week at schools with a high number of students who qualify for free and reduced-price lunches: Broken Arrow, Cordley, Hillc re s t , Ke n n e dy, New Yo rk , Pinckney, SNACKS MENU Prairie Park, Among fresh fruits Schwegler and vegetables served and Woodas snacks during the lawn. past school year in All of qualifying Lawrence those elementary schools, schools, financed by a grant p l u s Su n from the USDA: set Hill Watermelon, Anjou School, pears, jicama sticks, we re pa r t petite bananas, Gala of the inauapples, Goblin grapes, gural procantaloupe, Bartlett g ra m l a s t pears, snow peas, pink school grapefruit, tangerye a r in ines, avocados and which stuasparagus. dents Also winter squash, received radishes, cherries, their kiwi, mangoes, yellow healthy carrots, apricots, snacks in white grapes, mushclass, rooms, green beans, accompapapaya, beets, strawnied by berries and plums. informational b o o k m a rk s d e t a i l i n g e a c h s n a c k a n d s u g ge s t i o n s fo r cooking and eating.

In all, nearly 3,500 students sampled 37 different varieties of snacks — from Anjou pears and apricots to winter squash and yellow carrots.

“It’s either a morning snack or an afternoon snack, so it increases consumption, not replaces it,” said Paula Murrish, the district’s division director for food services and purchasing.

This year’s program will be smaller in Lawrence, because sixth-graders will be attending middle school instead of elementary school, Murrish said. But the annual total still works out to $50 per student, enough to give students access to foods they might not get a chance to enjoy.

The academy also offers numerous opportunities for the public to see the young musicians in action, with recitals and shows scattered throughout the academy.

“It’s an amazing group of students,” said academy organizer and KU School of Music professor Scott McBride Smith. “This is paradise” for music lovers.

“Instead, I know from working closely with him in my chambers that he would remain fully committed to limiting his role to interpreting the legal precedent faithfully and constraining himself to the proper role of the judiciary,” she wrote.

Overland Park attorney Robert Stephan, a Republican who served as Kansas attorney general from 1979 to 1995, also wrote a letter supporting Six, as did attorneys general of 29 states and territories, including eight Republicans.

Though he is friends with Roberts and Moran, Stephan said he considered Six to be well qualified as a judge.

“I don’t understand why they’re opposed to him,” Stephan said. “I haven’t found anything in his background and his ability that would lead to their objection.”

Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond law professor who follows the federal judiciary, said Tacha’s support could be important for Six because his two home state senators have chosen not to support him.

“I don’t know what the response will be to that, but I think it comes with the credibility of her long service on the bench and as chief judge,”

he said. “I think that is important, and I think it’s difficult for the GOP members of the panel in voting to ignore that.”

A spokeswoman for Roberts said Friday that there was no change on his position in opposition to Six’s nomination after receiving Tacha’s letter.

Judiciary committee After two delays, judiciary committee members are scheduled to debate Six’s nomination Thursday as part of their 9 a.m. business meeting. Democrats outnumber Republicans on the committee 10 to 8, so it’s unlikely the panel would vote against recommending Six to the full Senate, Tobias said.

Grassley is not supporting Six’s nomination, spokeswoman Beth Levine said Friday.

Tobias, the law professor, said it would be key to see whether Six wins any Republican votes from the panel because a full vote on the Senate floor opens up new questions, like a possible filibuster.

“We just have to see how it plays out,” he said.

St. Louis icon has sad exit ST. LOUIS (AP) — The proud old Admiral, once a storied part of the St. Louis riverfront, is headed for the scrap yard, but it’ll have to be decapitated first.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that persistent high water on the Mississippi River has prohibited the owners of the riverboat from moving it from either of two nearby scrap yards.

Removing the top of the boat provides 10 feet of added clearance, which should allow the Admiral to pass beneath bridges and other structures.

“The river is not dropping,” said Bill Kline, spokesman for the boats’ owner, St. Louis Marine. “The other choice is to lower the height of the boat.”

The hull of the Admiral dates to 1907. For years it pro-

vided river cruises, then served as an entertainment center, then finally became home to the President casino. It closed as a casino last year.

The boat was sold to St. Louis Marine, which tried to sell it online but rejected all offers as too low.

Now, the plan is to scrap the boat for its steel, wiring and other recyclable material. The Admiral will be scrapped in either a yard south of St. Louis, or one in nearby Alton, Ill. The Mississippi at St. Louis has been above flood stage since April 23, except for a brief time in May. The water is so high the Admiral can’t slip below the Eads bridge to the south or clear the overhead deck at the Melvin Price Lock and Dam near Alton.

Author of book that inspired local nature group to visit Lawrence

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

In 2007, Richard Louv’s book “Last Child in the Woods” ended up in the hands of retired Realtor and developer John McGrew.

A nature enthusiast who was worried about the sedentary lifestyle of his children’s and grandchildren’s generations, McGrew discovered the book validated his concerns.

“A lot of kids are suffering from obesity, attention deficit disorder and McGrew depression,” McGrew said. “And studies show a large part of it is that we are too far removed from that hunter-gatherer lifestyle.”

McGrew was so taken by the book that he bought it by the crateful and handed out more than 100 copies around town. It became the foundation of a nonprofit organization McGrew formed called Outside for a Better Inside.

“It was just so on target and such an important message. It truly is a movement now,” he said.

So, you can imagine McGrew’s excitement at the idea of the author coming to Lawrence this fall as part of the annual Built Environment and Outdoors Summit.

At 7:30 p.m. Oct. 5, Louv will give a special public presentation at the Lawrence Arts Center.

Louv, who is a Kansas University journalism graduate, coined the term “naturedeficit disorder” in “Last Child in the Woods” to describe what has happened as children grow up playing indoors rather than outside. It’s a shift that the

Student

book claims has negative consequences to individual health, our social fabric and even to the creative process.

Louv’s most recent book is “The Nature Principle” and envisions a future where lives are just as immersed in nature as they are in technology.

“It’s not too late for children,” McGrew said. “They just need to begin reconnecting with nature and the outdoors, which was automatic when I was a child. It was the way we played. It developed the right brain and not just the left brain.”

The two-day summit in October will be at the Holiday Inn Lawrence, 200 McDonald Drive.

In its fifth year, the summit is sponsored by a host of state agencies and nonprof its.

While the public is invited to Louv’s evening presentation at the Arts Center, the daylong sessions at the Holiday Inn are geared toward architects, builders, planners, health professionals, city administrators and outdoor and nature advocates.

The summit examines ways to design communities to encourage people to be outdoors and active. It also will help identify resources and discuss ways to change environmental policies to make communities more walkable, more bicycle-friendly and have greater access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

The summit costs $80 for both days or $45 for one. To register, go online to http://bit.ly/lnaqDk. — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352.

He worked with fellow donors and planners of the Adams Alumni Center to ensure that retirees would have access to the space for their activities.

“He always felt there should be a place where retired faculty and staff of the university could be able to get together and keep their minds focused in various ways,” Linton said.

They have a whole variety of activities — a computer class for people who want to be come more digitally literate, a gardening club and monthly coffees.

There’s a classical movie night, too. An upcoming film will feature Rosalind Russell, Linton said. A drama group gets together and reads scripts from old plays.

And as for the singers, they meet monthly in the Adams Alumni Center, and Thursday’s meeting had a patriotic theme for the Independence Day holiday. They sang “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the first verse and the last one, too, along with other traditional tunes.

But they usually sing all kinds of old songs.

Jay Alexander, a 71-year-old retired history professor, said he enjoyed singing the old songs, particularly the Cole Porters.

“I’m not particularly musical,” he said. “But I like singing.”

He said he enjoyed the memories that singing evoked. It took him back to a different time when his parents would sing songs at the end of parties.

Drought could take toll 2010 most popular Kansas on SW state economy baby names: Isabella, Jacob G A R D E N C ITY (AP ) — Crop losses linked to severe drought conditions are expected to take a toll on the economy in southwest Kansas.

The Garden City Telegram reported that the Garden City Co-Op is estimating taking about 35 to 40 percent less grain than usual.

Crop insurance will soften the hit. But Garden City CoOp CEO John McClelland still predicts that businesses that sell such items as trucks, trailers and combines will take a hit.

“Agriculture is the economic engine of western Kansas,” he said. “When the farmers have a good year, Main Street has a good year and the co-ops have a good year. It just goes on and on.”

Rebecca Davis, director of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency in Topeka, said that as of last week, Kansas farmers have insurance claims on more than 3 0 8 ,0 0 0 a c r e s o f l a n d .

“That was pretty motivating,” she said.

Mangus said bioengineering is the perfect fit for her because it combines her love of math and medicine — something she picked up from her parents.

Her father, Terry Beck, is a mechanical engineering professor at Kansas State University, and her mother, Claire, is a registered nurse.

She originally wanted to be veterinarian but decided they didn’t do enough with numbers.

“I really like math,” she said.

She has been a math tutor throughout college and teaches engineering courses to high school and junior high school students.

During the 2011-2012 school year, she will be mentoring a sixth-grade science class in Topeka. She will do this through a separate National Science Foundation initiative that comes with a $30,000 stipend.

“It’s my hope that I can get these students excited about science and engineering,” she said. “It’s a neat opportunity.”

Some farmers who did manage to raise crops this year had fields stripped away by hail.

Lee Greathouse, a fourthgeneration Kansas wheat farmer who farms north of Garden City along U.S. Highway 83, had fields leveled by a hailstorm in mid-June. He estimated that crops that could have brought in about $300,000 would make only $100,000 with crop insurance.

“This is the most devastating storm I’ve ever seen,” he said.

But McClelland, the co-op CEO, said off years are part of the industry.

“In most businesses — in agriculture for sure — you just have to be in it for the long run, and you have to be able to play the averages,” he said.

He noted that southwest K a n sa s i s co m i n g o ff o f t h re e o r fo u r exce l l e n t years, with record-setting harvests.

“So over time, it all averages out,” he said. “Hopefully, this drought won’t last too long because it’s devastating. It’s worse than most.

But the last three or four years were better than most.

It always reverts back to the mean.”

HUTCHINSON (AP) — Classic names were popular for Kansas babies in 2010 with Isabella ranked as the top pick for girls and Jacob for boys.

The Hutchinson News reported Jacob has appeared at the top for 13 of the past 16 years. The newspaper cited the Social Security Administration, which compiles the annual list each summer.

Isabella, however, hasn’t been popular long. For more than 40 years it didn’t rank in the top 1,000 names for newborn babies. It barely made the top 100 list in Kansas as recently as 10 years ago.

A resurgence of classic names has changed that, with 212 Kansas parents bestowing the name Isabella upon their newborns last year. The name also is the most popular name for girls throughout the United States.

Emilie Swonger, of

Hutchinson, said she named her daughter Isabella after the Kansas town Isabel in Barber County.

“It’s real small, a dent in the road,” she said of the town.

“My grandparents live there.

I lived there for a little bit when I was younger. Plus, I like old-fashioned names. I didn’t want something real modern.”

Swonger said her own name has been considered a top one in the past. “Even though it was spelled different, there were eight or nine Emilys” in school, she said.

“It’s kind of weird that my name was No. 1 and her name is No. 1,” she added of the connection between her and her daughter.

Rounding out the top five girls’ names in Kansas were Ava, Sophia, Emma and Olivia. The other top boys’ names were William, Alexander, Ethan and Elijah.

Lawmakers urged to reach debt deal in 10 days

By Jim Kuhnhenn and Laurie Kellman Associated Press Writers

THIS FRAME GRAB FROM NASA-TV SHOWS space shuttle Atlantis docked at the International Space Station on Sunday. Atlantis is delivering more than 4 tons of food, clothes and other space station provisions — an entire year’s worth, in fact, to keep the complex going in the looming post-shuttle era. Atlantis’ journey marks the final shuttle mission by NASA.

Emotions run high for shuttle’s final docking

By Marcia Dunn Associated Press Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. — As the miles melted between Atlantis and the International Space Station, the emotions grew — in orbit and on the ground.

At Mission Control on Sunday, lead flight director Kwatsi Alibaruho declared “this is it” as he gave the OK for the final docking in space shuttle history. Flashbacks to the shuttle’s very first space station docking — with Russia’s Mir in 1995 — flooded his mind as viewed the shuttle on the screens. He was a NASA trainee back then.

About 240 miles above the Pacific, the station’s naval bell chimed a salute — one of many landmarks, or rather spacemarks, of this final twoweek shuttle mission that are being savored one by one.

“Atlantis arriving,” called out space station astronaut Ronald Garan Jr. “Welcome to the International Space Station for the last time.”

“And it’s great to be here,” replied shuttle commander Christopher Ferguson.

Cries of joy and laughter filled the connected vessels once the hatches swung open and the two crews — 10 space fliers altogether representing three countries — exchanged hugs, handshakes and kisses on the cheek. Cameras floated everywhere, recording every moment of the last-ofits-kind festivities.

Atlantis, carrying a year’s worth of supplies, is being retired after this flight, the last of the 30year shuttle program.

“I won’t say that I got close to welling up in the eyes, but I will say that it was a power-

ful moment for me,” Alibaruho later told reporters. He tried to keep his feelings discreet so as not to distract his team of flight controllers, but said, “I know they were all feeling very similar emotions, thinking about where we’ve come from, how much we’ve accomplished ... what’s coming next.”

Alibaruho said the moment was also powerful for the 10 people in space for the docking: six Americans, three Russians and one Japanese.

“You could sense a palpable increase in emotion from all of the crew members, not just our U.S. astronauts,” he said. “They were extremely happy and really elated to see their visitors, and I know that they really recognize and appreciate the significance of these moments.”

A computer failure aboard Atlantis took away some of the redundancy desired for the rendezvous but did not hamper the operation.

Within a few hours, though, news came that NASA was monitoring a piece of space junk that could come dangerously close to the orbiting shuttle-station complex on Tuesday — right in the middle of a spacewalk.

Mission management team chairman LeRoy Cain stressed that it was still too soon to know whether the unidentified object would truly pose a threat and that a decision would be made today as to whether the linked spacecraft would have to move out of harm’s way.

The size of the object was not immediately known.

This was the 46th docking by a space shuttle to a space station.

Insurance agents complain FEMA creating confusion

By Bill Draper Associated Press Writer

KANSAS CITY , M O. — Insurance agents in states along the swollen Missouri River basin say federal officials are causing widespread confusion among property owners by pushing the sale of flood insurance policies that might not cover damage from the river flooding that began this month.

The insurance companies say that officials with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which administers the national flood insurance program, are still urging private agents to sell the insurance even though the policies contain deadlines that appear to exclude the Missouri River flood damage. The federal officials explain that some of the damage along the river might still be covered under the program’s highly complicated rules, but how much won’t be known until after the flooding is over.

“They won’t give you a clear answer,” said Larry Case, executive vice president of the Missouri Association of Insurance Agents. “It causes issues for agents because they get frustrated when they can’t give policyholders a definitive answer.”

The questions primarily affect property owners who waited until recently to decide on flood insurance because their property usually doesn’t flood. The extensive flooding this year — the worst since

1993 — is threatening thousands of acres that normally remain dry. The federal government has been encouraging more property owners along the river to make longer-term commitments to insurance.

The number of landowners who bought policies that may or may not cover the Missouri flooding is not known. Towns, homes and farmland in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri are under water or threatened by the flooding, which began earlier this month and is expected to continue for another two months.

The confusion about coverage mostly stems from a 30-day waiting period in flood insurance policies.

According to FEMA, the Missouri flood officially began June 1 so only policies bought

by May 2 would have gone into effect and therefore would cover the resulting damage.

WASHINGTON — Grasping for a deal on the nation’s debt, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders remained divided Sunday over the size and the components of a plan to reduce long-term deficits. Noting the need to work out an agreement over the next 10 days, the president and lawmakers agreed to meet again today.

Obama also sought to use the power of his office to sway public opinion, scheduling a news conference for this morning, his second one in less than two weeks devoted primarily to the debt talks.

Officials familiar with the meeting said Obama pressed the eight House and Senate leaders Sunday evening to continue aiming for a massive $4 trillion deal for reducing the debt.

But there appeared to be little appetite for such an ambitious plan and the political price it would require to pass in Congress. Instead, House Speaker John Boehner told the group that a smaller package of about $2 trillion to $2.4 trillion was more realistic.

A Democratic off icial familiar with the session said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., was especially adamant that any def icit reduction package could not contain tax increases and that any new tax revenue would have to be used to pay for other tax benefits.

Obama and the congressional leaders met in the Cabinet Room of the White House for the rare Sunday session. Most appeared in casual Sunday clothes, with open-collared shirts underneath blazers.

When a reporter asked, “Can you work it out in 10 days, sir?” Obama replied, “We need to.”

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA MEETS with congressional leaders in the Cabinet Room of the White House on Sunday in Washington to discuss plans to reduce long-term deficits. Sitting next to him are House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of Calif., left, and House Speaker John Boehner.

Time is becoming increasing precious in the negotiations. The deficit reduction talks are linked to the government’s need to increase its borrowing limit, now capped at $14.3 trillion. The Obama administration says if the debt ceiling is not raised by Aug. 2, the nation would default on its obligations, with potentially calamitous financial consequences worldwide.

Officials familiar with the meeting spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the delicate nature of the negotiations. Officials said Obama time and again pressed for a larger package.

He also pointed out that the smaller deal of up to $2.4 trillion still would require tax revenues and that not all of the details had yet been worked out.

Earlier, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley said in a tel-

evision interview that Obama would not “walk away from a tough fight.”

“Everyone agrees that a number around $4 trillion is the number that will ... make a serious dent in our deficit,” he said.

But embedded among the tough words was rhetoric that acknowledged the prospects for the “big deal” had become uncertain at best.

“We’re going to try to get the biggest deal possible,” said Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

It was an abrupt change from 24 hours earlier. Republicans late Saturday rejected the $4 trillion proposal, the largest of three under consideration, because its tax increases would doom it in the GOP-led House, Speaker John Boehner said.

Suspending U.S. aid to Pakistan may stem from estranged relationship

By Douglas Birch Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s decision to suspend $800 million in aid to the Pakistan’s military signals a tougher U.S. line with a critical but sometimes unreliable partner in the f ight against terrorism.

President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, William Daley, said in a broadcast interview Sunday that the estranged relationship between the United States and Pakistan must be made “to work over time,” but until it does, “we’ll hold back some of the money that the American taxpayers are committed to give” to the country’s powerful military forces.

The suspension of U.S. aid, first reported by The New York Times, followed a statement last week by Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, that Pakistan’s security services may have sanctioned the killing of Pakistani journalist Saleem Shahzad, who wrote about infiltration of the military by extremists. His battered body was found in June.

The allegation was rejected by Pakistan’s powerful military establishment, including the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency, which has historic ties to the Taliban and other militant groups and which many Western analysts regard as a state-withina-state.

George Perkovich, an expert on Pakistan with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, said Mullen’s comments and the suspension of

“

We have to continue to emphasize with the Pakistanis that in the end it’s in their interest to be able to go after these targets (extremists)as well.”

— Defense Secretary Leon Panetta aid represent “the end of happy talk,” where the U.S. tries to paper over differences between the two nations.

Daley, interviewed on ABC’s “This Week,” suggested the decision to suspend military aid resulted from the increasing estrangement between the U.S. and Pakistan. “Obviously there’s still a lot of pain that the political system in Pakistan is feeling by virtue of the raid that we did to get Osama bin Laden,” Daley said.

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters traveling with him to Afghanistan on Saturday that the U.S. would continue to press Pakistan in the fight against extremists, including al-Qaida’s new leader, Ayman al-Zawahri.

“We have to continue to emphasize with the Pakistanis that in the end it’s in their interest to be able to go after these targets as well,” Panetta said. “And in the discussions I’ve had with them, I have to say that, you know, they’re

giving us cooperation in going after some of these targets.

We’ve got to continue to push them to do that. That’s key.”

The U.S. has long been unhappy with Pakistan’s evident lack of enthusiasm for carrying the fight against terrorists to its tribal areas, as well as its covert support for the Taliban and anti-Indian extremist groups.

But tensions ratcheted up in January, when CIA security contractor Raymond Davis shot and killed two Pakistanis who he said were trying to rob him. They spiked in May, when U.S. forces killed bin Laden during a covert raid on a home in Abbottabad, the location of Pakistan’s military academy.

In the U.S., there was anger at the possibility that some Pakistan officials had harbored the terrorist leader. In Pakistan, there was outrage that the U.S. operation had violated its sovereignty.

age of about $2 trillion, which bipartisan negotiators had identified but not agreed to, was more realistic.

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky left little doubt that the $4 trillion deal was dead.

“I think it is,” McConnell said. Raising taxes amid 9.2 percent unemployment, he added, “is a terrible idea. It’s a job killer.”

The International Monetary Fund’s new chief, Christine Lagarde, said that if the U.S. fails to raise its debt limit, she foresees “interest hikes, stock markets taking a huge hit and real nasty consequences” for the American and global economies.

“I would hope that there is enough bipartisan intelligence and understanding of the challenge that is ahead of the United States, but also the rest of the world,” she said.

Syrian V.P. calls for transition to democracy BEIRUT — Syria’s vice president on Sunday called for a transition to democracy in a country ruled for four decades by an authoritarian family dynasty, crediting mass protests with forcing the regime to consider reforms while also warning against further demonstrations.

Vice President Farouk alSharaa spoke at a national dialogue that opened Sunday, with some critics of the government in attendance. However, key opposition figures driving the four-month-old uprising boycotted the meeting, saying they refuse to talk until a deadly crackdown on protesters ends.

“I hope that we will reach ... transition to a pluralistic democratic state that enjoys equality for all citizens who participate in forming their own shining future,” al-Sharaa said at the start of two days of talks in the capital, Damascus.

His comments highlighted the extent to which the uprising has shaken President Bashar Assad, who inherited power from his father in 2000.

A rare honor It’s fine for Kansas universities to award honorary degrees as long as they do it sparingly and for the right reasons.

I

n the workplace and elsewhere, giving someone a title can eliminate the need to reward them financially.

In too many cases, it seems that universities across the nation apply that philosophy when they award honorary degrees to celebrities who agree to deliver a commencement address.

Now that state universities in Kansas will be allowed to award honorary degrees, we hope they will reserve that honor for recipients who are truly deserving and not cheapen the designation by using it to attract celebrity speakers or reward financial support for the university.

The policy adopted last year by the Kansas Board of Regents tries to preserve the dignity and distinction that should accompany an honorary degree. It says honorary degrees should be considered “an exceptional honor” that is conferred to candidates “deeply grounded in a career of scholarship, research, creative activity, service to humanity or other profession consistent with the academic endeavors of the University awarding the degrees.”

Honorary degrees, it says, should not be considered an annual occurrence and they specifically “shall not be awarded for philanthropic activity or service” to the state or the university.

With those caveats in mind, officials at Kansas University are starting the process of considering potential honorary degree recipients. In some cases the recipients might be asked to give a speech that could replace the chancellor’s traditional address or be in addition to it. Who addresses the graduates at commencement will be determined on a caseby-case basis. Some years, KU may elect not to award any honorary degrees.

That’s as it should be. It’s fine for KU and other state universities to have the option of awarding honorary degrees, but it’s an honor that should be granted sparingly to only the most deserving recipients. Having a recipient address the graduating class could be a nice addition to KU’s commencement, but it’s unlikely to ever eclipse the true main event for KU graduates: the walk through the Campanile and down the hill to Memorial Stadium.

Candidates meet their match in song

By Michael Smerconish The Philadelphia Inquirer

Why is there always such poor advance work when it comes to presidential candidates and theme songs?

Every four years, it seems, someone uses a song without getting the necessary clearance.

You’d think politicians would learn from their predecessors’ mistakes.

Three decades ago, Bruce Springsteen didn’t want Ronald Reagan using “Born in the U.S.A.” And last week, Tom Petty told Michele Bachmann to stop using “American Girl.” She should have known better, given that in 2000, Petty objected to George W. Bush’s use of “I Won’t Back Down.” (After which Bush began relying on John Mellencamp and Sting, only to have both of them ask him to back off.)

Thankfully for FDR, no one complained when he used “Happy Days Are Here Again.”

And while beloved Phillies announcer Harry Kalas never ran for president, he wasn’t the only one to have a fondness for “High Hopes.” Frank Sinatra belted it out in a political context, to the benefit of JFK. In 1992, Bill Clinton relied on Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop.”

“

Sarah Palin: C’mon, let’s face it. The race will get interesting when she dukes it out with Michele Bachmann. So put the needle down on Ted Nugent’s ‘Cat Scratch Fever.’”

Four years later, Bob Dole had a pretty lame retort — a tailormade version of “Soul Man” reworked as “Dole Man,” and he, too, was asked to stop using it because writers Isaac Hayes and David Porter never gave permission. In 2008, John McCain used ABBA’s “Take a Chance on Me” while his running mate, Sarah Palin, relied on Heart’s “Barracuda” but, here again, was asked not to by the Wilson sisters.

I don’t know what explains all the poor planning when it comes to campaigns and music. But I have a solution. To alleviate any confusion in the 2012 cycle, I think it’s best for a neutral party — me — to assign songs to the candidates (with a hat tip to my Twitter followers for their suggestions).

Barack Obama: The night he

was elected, he walked on stage to Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered,” but now it’s about re-election. Easy. Having inherited two wars and a poor economy, he has an obvious choice: “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” by Billy Joel. Or “Any Colour You Like,” from the epic Pink Floyd album “The Dark Side of the Moon.”

Mitt Romney: The GOP frontrunner has a tough choice. Given his various positions on abortion and gay rights, he can go with either Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” or David Bowie’s “Changes.”

Sarah Palin: C’mon, let’s face it.

The race will get interesting when she dukes it out with Michele Bachmann. So put the needle down on Ted Nugent’s “Cat Scratch Fever.”

Rick Santorum: Playing for the conservative base and touting his Catholic, pro-life bona fides, he has an obvious number: the Doobie Brothers’ cover of “Jesus Is Just Alright.”

Herman Cain: The former president and chief executive officer of the legendary pizza chain has a built-in psych piece: The “Godfather” theme.

Newt Gingrich: A tougher choice. Seals and Crofts’ “Diamond Girl” or maybe Pink

Floyd’s “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.”

Tim Pawlenty: For the most illdefined in the field, “Who Are You,” by The Who. Ron Paul: It’s not hard to picture Paul — tagged “Dr. No” by his congressional colleagues for his unwillingness to stray from his literal interpretation of the Constitution — as the “renegade” who cut his hair and favors suits in Huey Lewis and the News’ “Hip to Be Square.”

Jon Huntsman: Given that polls suggest that more than 20 percent of the country remains unwilling to vote for a Mormon, Huntsman should stick with “Losing My Religion,” by R.E.M. Michele Bachmann: Sam Cooke’s “Wonderful World.” Not ringing any bells? Well, after Bachmann’s mix-up of Concord, N.H./Concord, Mass., and the John Wayne vs. John Wayne Gacy case of mistaken identity, the opening lyrics seem appropriate: “Don’t know much about history, don’t know much biology.”

Donald Trump: He ended his bid, but I was ready — Jackson Browne’s “Running on Empty.”

Larry and Susan Friedland, owners of Checkers Pizza, were protesting the YEARS resale of their pizza AGO to participants at IN 1986 Kansas University’s cheerleading camps. Checkers had given a reduced price to the camp directors because of the volume of the order, but the camps had then resold the pizzas to the campers at a higher price. KU camp director Elaine Brady defended their actions, saying that most of the profits from reselling the pizzas had gone to the Williams Fund for scholarships.

After refusing a check for $200, the amount made from the re-sale, the Friedlands said that they wanted the money to be donated to the cheerleading squad at Lawrence Central Junior High School.

When Atlantis lifted off on its final mission Friday, it marks bring to an end an era of space exploration that began for the United States with the Soviet launch of the unmanned satellite “Sputnik 1” in 1957 and the first man to fly in space, Russia’s Yuri Gagarin, on April 12, 1961.

Alan Shepard followed Gagarin into space on May 5, 1961, becoming the second person, and the first American, to fly in space and under John F. Kennedy’s vision and with resolve and resources, the U.S. reached his stated goal of “landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth” on July 20, 1969.

In the ‘60s, the place to be for a young reporter was Houston. I met many of the original seven astronauts, and the ones who followed them. NASA, Mercury, Gemini and Apollo became household names. “A-OK,” “The Eagle has landed” and “throttle up” entered the lexicon.

On a commercial flight a few years ago, I sat across the aisle from John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth. This was when Glenn was a Democratic senator from Ohio. The in-flight movie was “Apollo 13,” about the mission to the Moon, aborted because of mechanical failure.

When the film ended, several people asked Glenn for his autograph. I said, “John, you know they are not asking for your autograph because you’re a senator, don’t you?”

He laughed. “How well I know.”

Whose autographs do we seek today when celebrity has eclipsed accomplishment?

There is disagreement between the current NASA leadership and NASA’s old guard who say the failure to commit to manned space flight endangers America’s dominance in space.

Cal Thomas tmseditors@tribune.com

There is disagreement “between the current NASA leadership and NASA’s old guard who say the failure to commit to manned space flight endangers America’s dominance in space.”

The Obama administration announced plans in February 2010 to cancel the “Constellation” program, the goal of which was to return Americans to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Two months later, he presented a new space policy, which he said would “increase NASA’s budget by $6 billion over the next five years ... increase Earth-based observation to improve our understanding of our climate and our world ... and extend the life of the International Space Station...” As to space exploration, Nobody is more committed to manned space flight, to human exploration of space than I am,” he said.

That remains to be seen. Meaningful deep-space exploration requires human participation for meaningful results. And, according to The New York Times, NASA is facing “a brain drain that threatens to undermine safety as well as the agency’s plans.” No more shuttles, no need for rocket scientists. “The good guys,” the

Former NASA Administrator Michael Griffin believes the space agency has “lost its way.” In an article for Air & Space magazine in 2007, Griffin set out the philosophical argument for “The Real Reason We Explore Space”: “most of us want to be, both as individuals and as societies, the first or the best in some activity ... a second reason is curiosity. ... Finally we humans have, since the earliest civilizations, built monuments.

We want to leave something behind to show the next generation ... what we did with our time here. This is the impulse behind cathedrals and pyramids, art galleries and museums.”

Retired shuttle astronaut Jack Lousma summed up to me the dangers inherent in the loss of American leadership in manned space flight: “In days gone by, and in order to capture support for a new space initiative, NASA would offer all kinds of rationale to sideline critics and to make the ‘sale’, that is, spin-off innovative new products, strengthen national security, inspire education, manage Earth’s resources, capture 6-7 times return on investment, etc. ... Nobody was farsighted enough during the Apollo buildup to ‘sell’ the public and to blunt criticism, by predicting a computer in every home, the Internet, GPS, cellphones, medical instrumentation and a host of other ‘far-out’ inventions. This will happen again, despite Obama, who has put a huge obstacle in the way, temporarily, I believe, but not until we have lost the ‘best and brightest’ of space flight, along with tens of thousands of experienced and dedicated space workers.”

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 11, 1911: YEARS “C. J. Eriksen has AGO returned from an IN 1911 extended trip throughout the east and brought many new ideas. The one which he intends to put into operation at once is to let one half of his [work] force off at 5 o’clock each evening during the hot weather. He says he would like to close up altogether at this hour and would like to see all the merchants take some steps in this direction. He will let half of his employees go at five each night until arrangements are made for a complete closing along the street.”

“A concrete mixer has started work at the new Bowersock Theatre building and the work is being rushed as fast as possible. The building is to be completed and ready for the opening of the theatre season by the first of November.”

Derby workers rescue dog after 20-foot fall

By Deb Gruver The Wichita Eagle

Meeting the King Lucas Mehl, 18, Lawrence, poses with Richard “the King” Petty at the June 5 NASCAR race at the Kansas Speedway. Kylee Manahan, Lawrence, submitted the photo.

DERBY — It’s a pretty sure bet that Carl Rose is going to name his new dog “Derby.”

Rose and other Derby city workers — from wastewater treatment employees to firefighters — helped rescue the black lab Thursday from the bottom of a concrete tank about 20 feet deep.

Here’s the story: Rose, superintendent of the Derby Wastewater Treatment Plant, went to work at about 7 a.m. Thursday. One of his employees, Terry Meek, a wastewater operator, was going out to turn on a pump when he walked by what’s called a clarifier pit used to treat water and noticed “that there was a dog in the bottom.”

The pits usually have water in them, but this one was empty.

Meek called Rose in the office.

“He said, ‘Uh, we have a problem.’ I’m like, ‘Oh boy, what’s going on?’ “ Rose said.

Meek told Rose that there was a dog in the bottom of the clarifier pit.

“What?” Rose asked “Is it dead?”

“No,” Meek answered. “It’s sitting here looking at me.”

Rose rushed out there.

“A couple other people went with me out of sheer curiosity,” Rose said.

Sure enough, there was a dog in the bottom of the hole.

He appeared to have broken his leg.

Nobody is sure how he got into the plant, which is fenced off, and into the clarifier, which has rails around it.

Probably slipped through a gate, Rose guessed.

“We’re standing there looking at him, and we can tell he’s hurt,” Rose said.

Rose called the fire department, and f iref ighters showed up.

“I had already set up a ladder,” Rose said. “One of my guys was down in the basin with this dog and trying to calm him down and keep himself from hurting himself any further.”

The dog was scared but calm. He wasn’t wearing a collar or ID tag.

A firefighter, Cody Larson, went down into the clarifier, put the dog over his shoulder and carried him out of the pit up the ladder.

Throughout the ordeal, Rose said, the guys were

telling the dog, “It’s going to be all right. We’re going to get you out.”

Then the search was on to find someone to mend the dog’s leg.

The first veterinary clinic workers called said it would be about $1,500 to fix up the dog.

El Paso Animal Clinic in Derby “quoted me about $1,000,” Rose said. “One of my employees’ wives works there. So I called my wife and said ‘We’ve got to do this.’ My wife said, ‘I know, you’re right, we have to do it.’ “ The Roses lost one of their dogs about eight months ago.

They also have a Chihuahua.

So the Roses will take him home.

Brad Smith, fire chief for

843-8991

3401 W. 6th

the Derby Fire Department, said firefighters have “had a few occasions where we’ve rescued animals. We had a dog that went through the ice in one of our retention ponds.”

If firefighters have the time, they’ll help, he said.

“Obviously if we’re running an emergency call for a human being, that will take precedent,” he said.

Veterinarians have estimated that the shiny black dog is between 6 months and a year old.

The good news for “Derby” — or whatever his name ends up being — is that his leg should heal.

The bad news for him is that after that, he’s scheduled to be neutered.

Webb 2.0

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

Robinson has huge potential Many wondered why so many basketball players would end their college careers prematurely to enter the NBA Draft when the 2011-2012 season is threatened by a lockout.

Won’t they starve to death?

Well, no. Financial planners hoping to land them as lucrative life-time clients no doubt are offering no-interest loans hefty enough to support the players for a year. A nice little investment in the future.

Money isn’t the issue. Having the opportunity to play basketball against high-level competition in order to improve was the biggest enticement for firstround-caliber talents to stay put.

Thomas Robinson, not nearly as polished, not as complete a basketball player as either Marcus or Markieff Morris, has a higher ceiling than either one, thanks to his phenomenal athleticism. The twins could afford to take the risk because their games are so advanced.

Robinson made a wise decision to stay put, exercising more discipline, more patience than many in a similar position might.

Naturally, the 2012 mock drafts don’t reflect Robinson’s true value to NBA teams because he’s a junior. At this time of year, the mocks always favor incoming freshmen and sophomores. The less they’ve played, the more the mock drafts love them. And it’s not just the draft projections.

Whereas in baseball the stars of yesterday are revered and the stars of today often underrated, it works just the opposite in basketball. The guys in short shorts never get their due, and the prospects of tomorrow simply can’t miss.

It’s been that way forever.

Ralph Sampson was going to be so much better than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, except that he ended up being nowhere near as great.

A look at the mock drafts for two popular NBA Draft websites show’s nothing has changed. Draftexpress.com’s top 10 projected picks include five incoming freshmen and five rising sophomores.

NBAdraft.net has seven freshmen and three sophomores.

No Robinson in the top 10, and even more stunning, no John Henson of North Carolina.

The draft sites liked Henson better before he played a college game, but based on his strong sophomore season, it’s tough to figure out why.

Draftexpress has Robinson going 16th. NBAdraft.net has him projected at No. 18.

He’ll go higher if for no other reason than he’s already one of the best rebounders on the planet. Morehead State’s Kenneth Faried led the nation in rebounding with 14.5 rebounds per game. He had 16.7 per 40 minutes of playing time. Robinson played just 14.6 minutes a game, and his rebound totals projected to 17.6 per 40 minutes.

Robinson’s strength and explosiveness translate to the NBA, where he has a chance to become a Ben Wallace-type force. Wallace was listed at 6foot-9, 240 pounds during his days with the Detroit Pistons.

At the Amare Stoudemire Camp, where Robinson threw down a dunk heard ’round the NBA world, he was measured at 6-10 in shoes and weighed 240 pounds. His wingspan was measured at 7-1.

With one more year under Danny Manning’s tutelage and as a focal point of the offense, he’s bound to improve rapidly, even if all the attention the defense pays to him makes him look worse at times.

KANSAS QUARTERBACK JORDAN WEBB LOOKS DOWN THE LINE as he runs through drills during practice on April 11 at the practice fields near Memorial Stadium. A third-year sophomore, Webb emerged from spring drills as the narrow leader for the starting QB job this fall.

KU’s leading QB showing improvement

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

For the last couple of years, Kansas University football coaches — old staff and new alike — have raved about quarterback Jordan Webb’s strong arm.

Three years into his career as a college quarterback, the red-shirt sophomore’s feet are starting to catch up to his cannon.

“Where he really improved is on the movement passes,” said KU offensive coordinator Chuck Long, evaluating Webb’s progress from 2010 to 2011. “He became a lot more accurate, and he’s starting to get his feet in position to make more accurate throws.”

Better than that, Webb is starting to get his feet in the proper position even before he’s comfortable doing so. At least that’s the way Webb’s high school coach, Brent Eckley, of Union (Mo.) High, saw it this winter when Webb returned home over the holiday break and worked out with the Wildcats.

“It looked to me like, athletically, his feet were much better, much quicker,” Eckley said. “That’s what really stood out to me. His feet were in the right spot underneath him, and he was ready to throw at all times. That’s gonna pay off for him in the Big 12.”

So, too, will his experience.

Although KU’s starting QB job has not been handed out yet, head

JORDAN WEBB THROWS UNDER PRESSURE from Texas A&M defensive lineman Ben Bass (90) in this photo from Oct. 23, 2010, at Memorial Stadium. coach Turner Gill said after spring drills that Webb entered the summer with a slight lead in the race.

Reports from coaches and teammates about Webb’s dedication, leadership and work ethic throughout the last couple of months have done nothing but help his bid to start.

“He’s still young in some areas,” Long said. “But I thought he really improved in the mental elements

of the game. Physically, he’s got a strong arm. He can run. Those weren’t the issue. The whole thing about quarterback that I teach is the mental part, and I thought he really improved from the fall to the spring.”

Never was that more evident than at Memorial Stadium in late April, when Webb looked like a different man altogether during KU’s annual spring game.

ATTABOY ATTICUS

“One area we really saw growth was that he not only moved the first unit, he moved the second unit, too,” Long said of Webb’s 8of-14, 108-yard performance in the spring game, which included a touchdown on the first drive.

“Whenever you see a quarterback moving the first and the second unit, that means guys are starting to gravitate toward him, starting to believe in him, and those are good signs. Good quarterbacks make players around them better, and that’s something he started to do this spring.”

Some of that progress comes from Webb’s maturity. He admitted this spring that he was overwhelmed last season, when he passed for 1,195 yards, seven TDs and eight interceptions in seven starts and nine appearances.

“I know it was a grind for him,” Eckley said.

Webb doesn’t appear to be swimming upstream any more.

“Honestly, it feels totally different this year,” Webb said this spring. “Everything’s running so much more smooth this year. I know what the coaches want out of me, I know how to play to my strengths better, and I think I’m doing that a lot more.”

The KU offense was woefully unproductive throughout most of the 2010 season, something players

KANSAS CITY, MO. — As temperatures neared 100 and Justin Verlander’s pitch count mounted, Jim Leyland thought seriously about replacing his hard-working All-Star.

But with whom?

“No matter where I looked — my bullpen, their bullpen, in the stands — I couldn’t find anybody any better,” Leyland quipped. “So he’s going to be out there.”

With the heat index reaching 113 on the stadium concourse,

Verlander threw 119 pitches in 72⁄3 innings and beat Kansas City, 2-1, Sunday afternoon, vaulting Detroit into first place in the AL Central and making him the first Tigers pitcher in 24 years with 12 wins prior to the All-Star break.

“I knew it would be a grind out there, as hot as it was,” Verlander said. “I took my time between pitches and just tried to slow things down a little bit. I felt like that helped.”

U.S. women rally to stun Brazil DRESDEN , G ERMANY (AP) — Running low on hope and almost out of time, the Americans were surely beat, about to make their earliest exit from the Women’s World Cup. And then, with one of the most thrilling goals in U.S. history, they weren’t.

Showing a dramatic burst sure

to captivate the folks back home, the Americans packed an entire World Cup’s worth of theatrics into a 15-minute span by beating Brazil 5-3 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie Sunday night.

Abby Wambach tied it with a magnificent, leaping header in the 122nd minute, and Hope Solo denied the Brazilians — again — in

one of the most riveting games in the history of the World Cup, men’s or women’s.

“There is something special about this group. That energy, that vibe,” Solo said. “Even in overtime, you felt something was going to happen.”

The United States advanced t o We d n e s d ay ’s s e m i f i n a l s

against France, which eliminated England on penalty kicks Saturday.

And while the Americans will have to win twice more to win the final, they are the only one of the favorites left after two-time defending champ Germany was stunned by Japan on Saturday night.

Associated Press Sports Columnist

If Americans don’t fall in love with soccer after this, well, maybe they never will.

Yes, the epic quarterfinal win by the U.S. women over Brazil featured nearly everything their countrymen hate about the “beautiful game.”

They faced off against a team with better individual skills, plus an imagination and intuition about how to play that develops only over decades. They were handcuffed by lousy calls — with no chance of appeal — then mocked by dives and fake injuries cynically designed to steal their momentum and the little time that remained on the clock.

To top it off, after hard work and a lastgasp equalizer erased all that, their fortunes still hinged on those notoriously fickle penalty kicks.

But oh, oh, oh, that ending.

Oh so just, if not exactly swift.

“I really don’t know what to say,” veteran Abby Wambach began seconds after the U.S. won the penalty-kick contest 5-3.

But it didn’t take her long to come up with something.

“That is a perfect example of what this country is about, what the history of this team has always been,” Wambach added.

“We never give up.”

If only this once, even the haters back in the States should be able to appreciate why the rest of the world believes there’s no greater drama in sports than watching a team trying to validate its national character in a World Cup. And for a nation wearied by a fluttering economy and political paralysis, it could hardly come at a better time.

Highlights of the game were shown between innings on the large video board in Yankee Stadium, and a crowd half a world away from Dresden, Germany, erupted as if it was there. A stream of luminaries as diverse as LeBron James and GOP presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman rushed to Twitter to pass along congratulations — humbled, one hopes, by a display of grit and teamwork that has become increasingly rare back home.

So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that U.S. coach Pia Sundhage, a Swede, summed it up as eloquently as anyone else.

“It’s something about the American attitude, and finding a way to win,” she said, slowly shaking her head. “Unbelievable.”

As fate would have it, the win Sunday came a dozen years to the day of the previously most famous moment in U.S. soccer history, men or women, when Brandi Chastain put her penalty kick past China’s Gao Hong to win the 1999 Women’s World Cup and then stripped down to her sports bra. But that moment really said more about a paradigm shift in the culture of all sports in America than it did about the culture of soccer here.

Empowered by Title IX, the women on that team had grown up as girls determined to claim their share of the ball fields and resources that were always available to boys. And with opportunities and support for female athletes advancing faster here than anywhere else, plus a talented and photogenic superstar in Mia Hamm, the U.S. women were the class of the field when international play began in earnest in 1991.

They’ve managed to keep their place near the top of the game, coming into this cup ranked No. 1. But the small advantages they enjoyed over a handful of rivals are gone, and the even larger ones they held over the rest of the world are drying up fast. The simple truth is that even the best U.S. players, women and men, still don’t know how to play what we stubbornly insist on calling soccer and what everyone else has called football for more than 150 years.

Even so, whatever breakthroughs U.S. soccer teams achieved over the last few decades have been almost entirely the result of a supreme effort by a dedicated corps of players who refused to be daunted by the odds. So it was one more time Sunday.

UNITED STATES GOALIE HOPE SOLO CELEBRATES winning the World Cup quarterfinal match against Brazil, 5-3 on penalty kicks, Sunday in Dresden, Germany.

Conference Chatter

Hundreds mourn Rangers fan BROWNWOOD, TEXAS — For the last 18 years, firefighter Shannon Stone’s family dreaded getting a phone call telling them something had gone horribly wrong.

That call came Thursday night. Only it had nothing to do with his dangerous job — it was from the simple pleasure of taking his 6-yearold son to a Texas Rangers game and trying to catch a ball tossed his way by the boy’s favorite player, Josh Hamilton.

The 39-year-old Stone lost his balance and fell headfirst about 20 feet onto concrete with his son, Cooper, watching. Witnesses said Stone was conscious after landing and spoke about Cooper being left alone. Stone was pronounced dead within an hour; an autopsy ruled the cause as blunt-force trauma from the fall.

The unfathomable circumstances behind Stone’s death has made his loss even more difficult for family, friends and fellow firefighters. Hundreds mourned him during a public visitation Sunday, many leaving the funeral home with tissues in hand, tears in their eyes, their voices crackling with emotion.

“When you’re married to someone that’s a first responder, you go into it knowing there’s that possibility,” said Trease Burke, whose husband, Scotty, was a Brownwood police officer for 14 years and is now on the Lake Patrol. “But you don’t expect it to be like this. ... You don’t expect it to be a freak accident.”

MLB A-Rod to have knee surgery NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez is going to have surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his right knee and is expected to miss four to six weeks.

The Yankees say the slugging third baseman will be operated on today by Dr. Lee Kaplan at the University of Miami.

GOLF Donald rolls at Scottish Open INVERNESS, SCOTLAND — Luke Donald shot a 9-under 63 to win his first Scottish Open by four strokes, cementing his position as the world’s top-ranked player in dominant fashion.

The 33-year-old Englishman was a shot behind a trio of players sharing the lead going into the third and final round at the Castle Stuart links course but rolled in nine birdies to cruise home ahead of Sweden’s Fredrik Andersson Hed, who fired a 62 — the week’s lowest score — and finished at 15 under.

Donald’s third victory of the year will provide him with a perfect tonic ahead of the British Open at Royal St. George’s starting Thursday, where he’ll attempt to land his first major.

Scotland’s Scott Jamieson finished in a sixway tie for third at 14 under, clinching a qualifying berth for the Open.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland shot a second-round 2-under-par 70 for a 1-under-par total of 143 and tied for 97th.

Seo on verge of winning COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — Hee Kyung Seo of South Korea moved to the verge of winning the U.S. Women’s Open on Sunday, finishing with a one-shot lead over So Yeon Ryu, who had three holes left when play was suspended by darkness.

Check out ljworld.com and KUSports.com for online-only content from the Journal-World staff.

There you’ll find:

On a grueling 36-hole day at the Broadmoor, Seo shot a pair of 3-under 68s to finish at 3-under 281 and close in on her first major championship.

Returning along with Ryu today are Cristie Kerr, who is two shots back with two holes to play, and Angela Stanford, who is three behind with four holes left.

Barring a playoff, Seo won’t have to hit a shot today.

TENNIS Spain closes out U.S. AUSTIN, TEXAS — Spain’s David Ferrer beat American Mardy Fish, 7-5, 7-6 (3), 5-7, 7-6 (5), to clinch a victory for Spain over the United States in a Davis Cup quarterfinal.

TOUR DE FRANCE Sanchez wins 9th stage SAINT-FLOUR, FRANCE — Spain’s Luis Leon Sanchez won the ninth stage of the Tour de France on a wild day of crashes, while France’s Thomas Voeckler finished second to take the leader’s yellow jersey from Thor Hushovd.

Among those caught in the mayhem was defending champion Alberto Contador, who overcame another crash, banging his troublesome right knee after an early spill.

“I had a problem with my handlebars, which knocked into another rider’s saddle,” Contador said after safely completing the stage in 12th place. “It pushed me toward the spectators on the side, and I went into them and the bike hit me on the right knee again.”

and coaches attributed to everything from lack of chemistry and inexperience to a new coaching staff and lack of talent.

In the forum of public opinion, a lot of the blame fell on Webb. This is nothing new.

Quarterbacks typically received most of the praise during the high times and the bulk of the blame during the low times.

Though he might not always enjoy the lows, Eckley

said Webb is not the kind of quarterback who lets them get under his skin.

“He’s aware that that stuff goes on,” said Eckley of the negativity regarding Webb’s ability and performance. “I think he uses it as motivation to prove people wrong, but he tries to do that without going out of his way to do it. He has a lot of confidence in his ability, and that’s something he had before he came to us. He believed he was going to be a Div. I quarterback when he was a high school freshman.”

Pritchard officially joins Pacers’ staff J-W Staff and Wire Reports

I N D I A N A P O L I S — Former Kansas University basketball point guard Kevin Pritchard officially has been named director of player personnel of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers.

The team addressed recent reports with a confirmation on its website and in the Indianapolis Star over the weekend.

Pritchard, who worked as Portland’s general manager from 2007-10, will work under president Larry Bird and general manager David Morway.

He has signed a one-year contract.

“Larry and I feel like Kevin is a strong addition to our

franchise,” Morway told the Indianapolis Star. “We’re looking forward to him working with us. He’s been a player, coach and in management in this league. Those are all pluses for us.”

Pritchard will scout and also help Bird and Morway with free agency, the Star reported.

“He offers another set of eyes in improving our team as we move into the next phase of things,” Morway said.

The Trail Blazers had at least a .500 record, including going 54-28 and getting the fourth seed in the Western Conference in 2009, under Pritchard. Pritchard was fired

The first Tiger since Jack Morris in 1987 with 12 wins before the break, he struck out the side in the second and sixth and fanned nine altogether, raising his league-leading strikeout total to 147. He allowed six hits and did not walk a batter while getting charged with one unearned run. He has not allowed more than two runs in nine straight starts.

Verlander could remember only one game this hot.

“Maybe Atlanta a year or two ago,” he said. “It was smoking-hot there, too. I just tried to take all the time I could to get my breath and not let myself get in fast-forward mode and all of a sudden find yourself with a couple of guys on and you’re gassed.”

The Royals, who lost three of the four games against their AL Central rivals, went into the break with a league-worst 37-54 record. Eric Hosmer doubled leading off the ninth against Jose Valverde, but was cut down on a close play trying to steal third. That was the second out, then Mike Moustakas flied out.

Both Verlander and Leyland said they thought he was safe until seeing the replay.

Then they thought Brandon Inge blocked him off.

Hosmer still thinks he was safe.

“I know I got my hand in there 100 percent,” he said.

“You know, it’s a tough call for him, but it’s a shame it’s the last inning and the game ended like that. It was a tough way to lose.”

The Tigers, winners of four of their last five, moved a halfgame ahead of Cleveland, which lost to Toronto 7-1.

Pritchard was a consultant with the Pacers last season and traveled with the team for part of its West Coast trip in January. Bird told the Indy Star the Pacers are not bringing Pritchard in as his future replacement.

“That's not the case at all,” Bird said. “I’ve known Kevin for a number of years and we're in the position to improve, and his knowledge will help us.”

Pritchard, an Indiana native, and Bird were teammates with the Boston Celtics during the 1991-92 season. He was starting point guard on KU’s 1988 national title team.

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker July 11, 2011

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Crazy,” whose mentally ill brother is making life difficult for their father. Get him out now!

My parents allowed my older, paranoid schizophrenic brother to live with them.

Their lives were spent tiptoeDear Flint: Some suitors ing around him. When they

Strathairn elevates ‘Alphas’ to mysterious height They’re gifted and driven and a little bit off. They’re “Alphas” (9 p.m., Syfy).

Acclaimed actor David Strathairn (“Temple Grandin,” “Good Night and Good Luck,” “The Sopranos”) stars as Dr. Lee Rosen, the neurologist and scoutmaster for a team of special talents with complementary skills. Not to mention some issues.

Much like “Heroes,” this series kicks off with a handsome character suffering what appears to be a psychotic breakdown.

Cameron Hicks (Warren Christie) receives a strange phone call. Before you can say “Manchurian Candidate,” he’s beset with voices and images that tell him, “Pull the trigger,” and “It’s time to kill.” It’s a powerful and disturbing scene, culminating in an assassination.

This theme of psychological disturbance continues throughout the pilot. Rosen’s team of Alphas includes Bill (Malik Yoba), whose adrenaline gives him Hulk-like strength and near-stroke conditions. Rachel (Azita Ghanizada) can read fine print several blocks away or hear distant conversations, but she can use only one super-sense at a time. This leaves her vulnerable, to say the least. Not unlike a Jedi Knight, Nina (Laura Mennell) can bend another’s will to her own. So why does she seem so lonely and forlorn? Gary (Ryan Cartwright) can literally see the electrical waves and pulses around him, making him handy at tracing cell phone chatter. But his concentration comes at a cost. He may be an Alpha, but he’s also autistic.

Gary’s role in “Alphas” and the similarity of Strathairn’s character to the mentor he played in “Temple Grandin” underscore the notion of these Alphas as gifted, yet well outside the social norm.

The scenes of Dr. Rosen as a referee between spatting proteges are far more interesting than the moments of cloakand-dagger action. Is Rosen the Alphas’ leader, their therapist or their captor?

That’s a question that should make many return. “Alphas” follows new episodes of “Eureka” (7 p.m., Syfy) and “Warehouse 13” (8 p.m., Syfy).

So many cable series are returning or debuting tonight, it seems like the first day of school. ● Brenda fends off lawsuits and department politics to focus on a mass murder at a rap music video party as the seventh season of “The Closer” (8 p.m., TNT) begins. ● Another New Jersey bakery gets ready for its close-up on “Tough Cookies” (9 p.m., Food). ● “Design Star” (8 p.m., HGTV) returns with a dozen new finalists. ● Actor Jake Gyllenhaal joins host Bear Grylls on an all-new “Man vs. Wild” (8 p.m., Discovery). ● Military training continues on “Surviving the Cut 2” (9 p.m., Discovery). ● Anthony Bourdain samples the cuisine of Cuba on “No Reservations” (8 p.m., Travel). ● Jane reunites with an old friend on “Rizzoli & Isles” (9 p.m., TNT).

Tonight’s other highlights ● The Home Run Derby (7 p.m., ESPN) anticipates Tuesday’s MLB All-Star Game. ● Afghan women face trials for sexual activity on “Love Crimes of Kabul” (8 p.m., HBO). ● “Unsung” (9 p.m., TV One) profiles Evelyn “Champagne” King.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Monday, July 11: This year, you might be more concerned with the quality of your daily life than you have been in a while. You might want to approach a situation involving a boss, parent or someone you respect differently. If you are single, you will meet someone on your day-to-day travels. If you are attached, the two of you might become involved in a new hobby or pastime. Sagittarius can show you some different shortcuts.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★★ You do know what happens when fires are stoked by wind. They explode and become even larger. You are the fire, and others seem to be stoking your flames. Tonight: Think “different.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ A partner or associate might seem to be ready to rupture, as he or she is so excited. You understand this person’s enthusiasm, even if you are slightly less “out there.”

Tonight: Follow another person’s lead.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Watch what others might be doing.

jacquelinebigar.com

Exciting and unanticipated events seem to surround friends and a close loved one. Tonight: Follow another’s lead.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ You might want to focus on work, as a boss or someone in authority could be unpredictable and difficult. Tonight: A stressbusting choice.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★★ Your playful manner yet direct approach inevitably wins friends. But are you willing to deal with someone’s crush on you? Clearly someone is quite taken with you. Tonight: Having fun.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ You simply cannot avoid a domestic matter much longer. There could be a kickback or a secondary end result involving a partner. Tonight: Close to home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ Your words might have more impact and/or draw a reaction you hadn’t anticipated. You are seeing people transforming right in front of your very eyes. Tonight: Meet a friend at a favorite spot.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Be aware of the financial implications of what you are doing. Many people find your actions

quite unanticipated.

Tonight: Your treat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★★ You seem to be ready to act, and will act, in a most spontaneous manner. You could set a child or new friend aback with your quick action.

Tonight: Easy works.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Keep your eyes wide open. You might not be ready for what you are going to see or realize. You might wonder what is happening with the parties involved. Tonight: Easy works.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ You of all signs value friendship more than most. Be ready to take a strong action and clear out a problem. Listen to a friend and what he or she shares. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ What looks like a great risk just might not be. Be less involved with what is going on around you. Meet a boss’s or authority figure’s request.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Dear Annie: I have been married to “Ryan” for three years, and we dated for two years before that. It’s a second marriage for both of us. My first marriage was miserable and lonely, and I wanted to make sure to do it right the next time. When I met Ryan, he was supportive and accepting of my two sons. He made the effort to spend time with them. He was attentive to me.

I thought he was perfect.

The problems started not long after we moved in together. He became distant and moody and spent most of his day in front of the TV. Now, after five years, Ryan has completely alienated my boys, his co-workers and everyone else. No matter what I ask of him, he blows it off as if I’m crazy. He doesn’t seem to care that he’s pushing us away. Ryan’s doctor put him on an antidepressant to help him sleep, but he refuses to take it. He doesn’t believe he has a problem.

I miss my husband, Annie.

His behavior has done such a complete 180 that I don’t want to be with him anymore. I am tired of making excuses for him. He won’t go to counseling. I’d go alone, but I don’t have the money. Should I cut my losses and walk away? — Frustrated in Flint, Mich.

Yankees win pitching duel Seattle

Yankees 1, Rays 0 NEW YORK — James Shields and B.J. Upton made bad throwing errors that let Robinson Cano score the only run, sending CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees to a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday.

A day after Derek Jeter got five hits, including No. 3,000, All-Stars Shields and Sabathia (13-4) staged a classic pitchers’ duel, matching zeros until the bottom of the seventh inning.

Cano led off with a single, and Jorge Posada’s popup to shallow center was gloved on the run by Upton, who wound up and rocketed a throw well over first baseman Casey Oakland Cahill L,8-7 7 2-3 5 2 2 2 3 Kotchman’s head.
