A project to bring affordable apartments to east Lawrence is moving ahead, and now it is working to add affordable arts studios to the neighborhood as well.

Leawood-based developer Tony Krsnich conf irmed Wednesday that he hopes to start construction by early October on a $9 million project to renovate the former Poehler warehouse building at 619 E.

Krsnich purchased the early 1900s-era building with the idea of putting more apartments in the 15,000-square-foot stone structure.

But now Krsnich said he’s looking for a way to convert the building into 30 to 40 studio spaces for local artists.

At 9 a.m. on May 19, I checked into Kansas University Hospital to have my right hip replaced.

I needed the replacement because of congenital hip dysplasia — my hips didn’t form correctly. The surgery I had at age 2 lasted for nearly four decades.

Dr. Kelly Hendricks, my surgeon, said: “The surgery bought your hips more time, so you didn’t need a replacement when you were 25. That’s good.”

But now I needed new parts.

I showed up for surgery in the recommended baggy clothing — sweats and T-shirt — and no makeup.

I hadn’t had anything to eat or drink since midnight.

As soon as my husband and I made it to the secondfloor waiting room, a person in scrubs called my name and escorted me beyond the double doors and into a holding room near the operating room. He asked me to change into a hospital gown and to put a tight, white stocking — called a throm-

The preparation before the operation — hooking me up to an IV, putting in a nerve block, marking my right side, visiting with Hendricks — are all kind of a blur.

Dr. Kelly Hendricks predicted my surgery wouldn’t take that long because I am a healthy and fit person, something that also would benefit me during recovery, he said.

Some doctors won’t do a joint replacement on smokers and /or people who are obese. It’s for the patients’ safety, they say, because they’re at greater risk for complications.

More imagination, less complaining can help on hot days

By Mark Fagan mfagan@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See video at LJWorld.com

For kindergartners at the Boys and Girls Club, figuring out how to beat the heat is easy.

Just pretend.

About two dozen kids participated in a “snowball” fight Wednesday afternoon — hurling wadded-up paper from behind cotton-topped forts fashioned from floormats inside the East Heights gym — as temperatures outside continued to rise far above freezing and well into sweltering.

“We’re going to make snow angels out of shaving cream,” said a smiling Melissa Rankin, who will be a first-grader at Woodlawn School. “It’s fun. I like it to be cold.”

This morning, she and her fellow program participants will continue the chilling fantasy by wearing snow boots into their room at East Heights, 1430 Haskell Ave. And while others may dismiss such

youthful optimism, it may be helpful to remember: Complaining about the heat doesn’t do anyone any good, either.

With that in mind, we checked in with some experienced folks about strategies for dealing with such stifling conditions.

So slow down, find some shade and soak up their suggestions, if you need a little help slogging through these suffocating summer days:

this the place known for where the artists are at,” Krsnich said. “We have heard from so many people that Lawrence needs a nice, cool place for artists to work.”

He said he started exploring the idea after several neighborhood residents suggested it. He said he would like to figure out a way to rent the spaces for about $300 a month. He’s also considering using the upper floor of the building as loft living space, so artists could live and work in the same building.

As for the Poehler building, plans call for 33 one-bedroom units and 16 two-bedroom units. The apartments would have an urban design feel to them, with exposed trusses, polished floors and the type of finishes you would expect to see in downtown lofts. But the project is receiving almost $600,000 in affordable housing tax credits from the state. That means nearly all of the apartments — 46 of the 49 — will have an element of rent control to them. Krsnich said current plans call for one-bedroom apartments to rent for about $500 a month, while two-bedroom units would rent for about $600 per month.

City commissioners ultimately will be asked to give some key approvals to the project. Krsnich said he is hoping the city will help pay for several public infrastructure costs in the area. Specifically, City Manager David Corliss has said the city will look at rebuilding Delaware

Street between Eighth and Ninth streets. The project likely would include new pavement, storm water upgrades, curbs and gutters, and sidewalks. Krsnich said he also would like the city to consider providing assistance for off-street parking lots to serve the development.

Corliss has said the city should give the request strong consideration, and he has included debt financing for the project in his recommended 2012 budget. But city commissioners will have to specifically vote on the project at a later date before it could move ahead.

The $750,000 in city money would be in addition to local property tax rebates the development can qualify for.

The area surrounding the Poehler building already has been approved as a Neighborhood Revitalization Area, which makes it eligible for property tax rebates of up to 95 percent, with some conditions.

The area received that special designation when Lawrence developer Bo Harris unsuccessfully tried to launch a major renovation of a multiblock area of east Lawrence. Krsnich said he’s optimistic his project can jump-start the redevelopment of several other vacant buildings in the area.

“With what we’re doing, I’m pretty confident the rest will fall into place,” Krsnich said. “Somebody will redevelop the rest shortly after us.

Hopefully, it will be us.”

Chancellor to analyze KU’s first Campus Sustainability Plan

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

On Friday, Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little will receive what has been described as a road map in the university’s quest to become a more sustainable campus.

For the past year, a group of Gray-Little more than 150 administrators, faculty, staff and students has been working on the university’s first Campus Sustainability Plan.

The plan comes with a host of action steps and recommendations that, if followed, will build a more sustainable community over the next 40 years.

“It provides a guide for everyone from the single individual to do more to recycle to departments to adopt more sustainable purchasing practices,” said Jeff Severin, who spearheaded the plan as director of the Center for Sustainability.

G ray- L i tt l e co m m i s sioned the sustainability plan and is eager to see it, said Jack Martin, the deputy director of university communications.

“She’ll review it and make decisions going forward from there,” Martin said on the next step in the process.

The 56-page plan focuses on nine major areas: administration, built environment, campus grounds, curriculum and research, energy, procurement, student life, transportation and waste reduction. Specific strategies have been developed for each area.

The plan includes more than a dozen steps that should be tackled first. Some of them are: ● Use the campus as a living laboratory. The plan suggests course work and research should be geared so students have more opportunities to gather data about systems on campus and to do projects that have an impact on the campus.

“It’s learning from the campus environment, but at the same time contributing more to sustainable operations,” Severin said.

“

I think it is a really important step for our office to have this kind of guidance and as a campus to have some unified measurable goals to strive towards. I think it will be a very useful plan moving forward and something we can really learn from.”

— Jeff Severin, director of KU’s Center for Sustainability ● Increase the amount of data being collected on sustainability indicators. The university should identify what needs to be measured and then establish a matrix that can help monitor progress on sustainability projects. ● Develop a comprehensive energy management plan that helps the university determine what investments translate into the biggest energy reductions. The plans should include strategies for increasing efficiency, conservation and renewable energy sources. ● All new construction or major renovations should meet or exceed Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver criteria, which is part of set of sustainable building standards established by the U.S. Green Building Council. ● The plan also urges the university to establish standards for environmentally and socially preferred purchasing practices, expand its recycling program and develop a more efficient fleet of vehicles.

Severin sees the plan as a tool his office can use to spur others to do more.

“I think it is a really important step for our office to have this kind of guidance and as a campus to have some unified measurable goals to strive towards,” Severin said. “I think it will be a very useful plan moving forward and something we can really learn from.”

BRIEFLY Rally to save local SRS office set for Saturday A rally to try to save the Lawrence office of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services has been scheduled for Saturday.

The event will be at 9:30 a.m. at the South Park gazebo, 1141 Mass.

Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration has called for the closure of the office as a cost-cutting move. Advocates for the poor and people with disabilities say many will lose assistance and be endangered if the office is shut down.

More than 600 people attended a meeting on the issue Monday night at Plymouth Congregational Church, and more than 150 attended another meeting last Saturday at Lawrence Public Library.

Lawrence officials are hoping to persuade Brownback and SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. to change their decision.

“Nearly 10,000 people in Lawrence depend upon SRS for critical services,” said Jacob Beaumont, an organizer of the event. “These are among our most vulnerable citizens — children, seniors, and the disabled — who are at risk of slipping through the cracks, should they not receive needed and often life-saving services from SRS,” he said.

Supporters of the SRS office also are asking people to sign a petition opposing the closure.

The petition is available online at Facebook.com/SaveOurSRS. Another public forum on the issue will be at 10 a.m. July 23 at the library, 707 Vt. This one is sponsored by the League of Women Voters, United Way of Douglas County and numerous other groups.

Expert to discuss Vermont health care law

Jonathan Kissam, the leader of a grassroots effort to get a publicly financed health care system in Vermont, will give a presentation at 7 p.m. today at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vt. A new law, signed by Gov. Peter Shumlin in May, states that Vermont will create a publicly financed health care system called Green Mountain Care. The system will provide coverage for all Vermont residents regardless of income, health status or employment.

The law calls for something close to a single-payer system, with doctors and hospitals billing one entity — the state government — for their services.

A board appointed by the governor will determine payment rates for doctors, benefits and other details.

The presentation is open to the public and is being sponsored by a variety of groups, including Kansas Health Care — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached for All and the Lawrence Coaliat 832-6352. tion for Peace and Justice.

State hiring outside attorneys in lawsuit

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

Budget deficit on track to top $1T The federal budget deficit is on pace to break the $1 trillion mark for the third straight year, ratcheting up the pressure on the White House and Congress to reach a deal to rein in spending.

The deficit totaled $971 billion for the first nine months of the budget year, the Treasury Department said Wednesday. Three years ago, that would have been a record high for the full year.

With three months to go, this year’s deficit will likely top last year’s $1.29 trillion gap, according to the Congressional Budget Office. But it is expected to come in below the record $1.41 trillion reached in the 2009 budget year. The budget year ends Sept. 30.

Obama raises more than $86M Off to a huge early lead in the money race, President Barack Obama hauled in $86 million for his reelection campaign and the Democratic Party in the past three months. It’s better than he did in his victorious first presidential campaign, despite the sluggish economy and constant criticism from Republicans who hope to replace him.

The president’s advisers have told donors privately they hope to match or exceed the $750 million they raised in 2008, perhaps bringing in as much as $1 billion.

Obama’s campaign said Wednesday it raised more than $47 million and the Democratic National Committee brought in more than $38 million through the end of June, surpassing a stated goal of $60 million combined.

Firm charging up to $300 per hour to defend anti-abortion provisions

TOPEKA — At a time when the state is cutting costs by shutting down welfare offices, including the one in Lawrence, it is spending big bucks on private attorneys in an abortion-related lawsuit.

“If I lived in Lawrence, I’d be really angry,” Senate Democrat-

Gov. Sam Brownback and his Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. have announced the closure of nine SRS offices, including the one in Lawrence, which is the biggest one by far.

Brownback and Siedlecki have cited the state’s budget

Bloody bodies were strewn in the dirt of Mumbai’s crowded neighborhoods and markets. Doors were ripped off storefronts, motorcycles were charred and a bus stop was shredded. After the blasts in three separate neighborhoods, police set up checkpoints and were put on high alert.

The bombings came just months after peace talks resumed between India and Pakistan, which New Delhi has blamed for past attacks.

Arup Patnaik, a top police officer, said the attackers used improvised explosive devices in the attack, hidden in an umbrella in the Jhaveri Bazaar jewelry market and kept in a car in the business district of Opera House.

Leader mourns assassinated half brother President Hamid Karzai climbed into his slain half brother’s grave Wednesday and sobbed alongside the coffin, mourning the loss of the most powerful figure in southern Afghanistan before appointing another brother to take the man’s place.

Ahmed Wali Karzai, the head of the Kandahar provincial council and the president’s most powerful emissary in the south, was shot to death Tuesday by a trusted friend at his mansion in Kandahar.

“My message for them (the Taliban) is that my countrymen, my brothers, should stop killing their own people,” President Karzai said after the funeral, which was attended by thousands of mourners. “It is easy to kill and everyone can do it, but the real man is the one who can save people’s lives.”

Just hours later, a suicide bomb blast killed five French troops in the east of the country.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for both attacks. But Afghan officials cast doubt that the militants really were behind the killing of the president’s brother. The gunman’s motive remained unclear.

“The campanile chimes are not sounding because the tower is being cleaned. This is part of an overall effort to clean veteran’s memorials on campus,” said Jill Jess, associate director for news and media relations for Kansas University.

She added the Campanile honors members of the university community and alumni who died in World War II. The Vietnam War Memorial at the top of Memorial Drive and two other markers also are being cleaned.

“The cleaning is expected to be complete in the next week or so. The chimes will be back on after that,” Jess said.

Asked at Dillons, 1740 Mass.

John Nelson, optician, Tecumseh “Just a St. Louis Cardinals game in St. Louis from Topeka.”

Controlling the temperature just got a little cheaper in Baldwin City.

As part of the energy-saving competition Take Charge Challenge, Baldwin City residents are eligible to receive a $25 rebate off the purchase and installation of a programmable thermostat.

The rebates, which are being funded by the Kansas Energy Office’s Efficiency Kansas program, are one way to encourage residents to save energy.

Programmable thermostats make it easier for residents to adjust temperature settings. For example, the thermostat can be programmed so the temperature rises during the day when the residents are gone. Then the air conditioning could be set to increase before the residents come home.

“It’s the convenience of being able to come home to a warm house or a cool house, depending on the season, and

not paying to have (the heater or air conditioner) run all day,” said Tina Rakes, the code administrator for Baldwin City who is part of the leadership team.

Adjusting temperatures by just 5 degrees during the day is enough to see a measurable drop in energy bills, Rakes said.

Unlike the programmable thermostat program through Westar Energy in Lawrence, the thermostats in Baldwin City won’t be connected to the city’s electric system. So the electricity provider in Baldwin City will not be able to control air conditioning during hot summer afternoons when energy is in highest demand.

Programmable thermostats start at about $30 and can cost more than $100. The higher-end thermostats allow residents to control the temperature from smart phones or computers.

“The rebates let you go and purchase what fits for your home,” Rakes said.

BRIEFLY Advisory to stay out of Mo. River still in effect

To participate, Baldwin City residents can purchase a thermostat and install it on their own or hire a contractor to install it. To receive the $25 rebate, the resident must take the receipt or invoice to Baldwin City Hall, 803 Eighth St., and fill out a form.

The number of programmable thermostats installed in Baldwin City is one component in one of three categories that will be used to determine a winner in the Take Charge Challenge.

The Take Charge Challenge pits different cities across Kansas against one another to see which one can save the most energy. The winning community for each region receives $100,000 that can be used toward a renewable-energy or energy-efficiency project.

Baldwin City, which is in first place in its region, is competing against Gardner, Ottawa and Paola.

As the Missouri River continues to swell, the state’s health and environmental agency continues to warn people to stay out of its waters.

A month ago, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment issued a health advisory for all portions of the Missouri River that flow through Kansas. In a news release Wednesday, the KDHE reminded people that the advisory remains in effect because of the ongoing flooding.

The KDHE is warning that people, pets and livestock should avoid contact with the river until flooding conditions cease.

In particular, the KDHE is concerned about pathogens in the water that can make people and animals sick. While some of those pathogens are naturally occurring, others come from surface runoff or partially treated sewage water.

These pathogens can cause skin, ear, respiratory, eye and wound infections.

In addition to the risk of — Reporter Christine Metz can be reached at 832-6352. infections, entering the flood waters can be dangerous because of the rapidly moving currents and the debris and chemicals that have washed away from other flooded areas.

Expert offers homicide-case tips

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

Advancements in technology can make homicide investigations more complex and often leave juries wanting more, but a national expert on investigations says good, basic detective work is as important as ever.

“You do the grunt work, the stuff that doesn’t make television,” said Vernon Geberth, a homicide and forensic investigations consultant who trained 44 area officers in Lawrence this week. “Neighborhood canvasses, interviewing people, good processing of the crime scene, evaluating the evidence and going back over things. It’s very tedious. There’s nothing exciting about the grunt work.”

Geberth, a retired New York City Police Department lieutenant commander teaches methods based on his book, “Practical Homicide Investigation,” was passing

on his knowledge to officers representing five states at the three-day conference hosted by the Lawrence Police Department this week at Spring Hill Suites by Marriott.

Four Lawrence officers participated.

Geberth reviewed cases from across the country and stressed the importance of the original crime scene and interviews.

“Do it right the first time.

You only get one chance,” Geberth said.

Lawrence Officer Aaron Hachmeister said police as first responders walk a fine line in trying to help the family and investigate a death.

“We just need to make sure evidence isn’t being contaminated in case there is some sort of foul play,” he said.

Capt. Ed Turner, an investigator for the Independence, Mo., department, said it can be overwhelming to try to process everything in a homicide investigation.

“You can break it up so that

you can approach it piece by piece because if you try to take it all on at once, it can be overbearing,” he said.

Cowley County Sheriff ’s Sgt. Christina McDonald said Geberth offered a good checklist especially on how to handle a crime scene.

“Things get so hectic and so busy that once you have something written in front of you to follow it’s easier to go by and make sure you don’t miss any steps for the victim,” she said.

Geberth said another major challenge for investigators today is the prevalence of the Internet and social media.

“Get out there and talk to people. Knock on doors. Look at people when you talk to them so you can see their behavior,” he said. “You’re not going to get that online or in a text.”

I spotted a small blurb in the Chronicle of Higher Education that mentioned the University of Michigan has changed its policy on banning people from campus after the American Civil Liberties Union threatened to sue.

Now, the campus can only ban people from campus for a year, instead of for life.

Jill Jess, a KU spokesKerry Wheeler, woman, confirmed to me that Douglas County Fairgrounds KU can ban people from campus using a regents policy that groundskeeper, states: “Actions by faculty, Lawrence “The only sporting event I go staff, students or visitors which unnecessarily and to is 10 steps out my back unreasonably obstruct or door to the ball diamond.” interfere with the teaching, research or learning functions or other normal and necessary activities of a Regents institution or which create an imminent threat of danger to persons or property, may constitute grounds for suspension, dismissal, termination, or permanent exclusion from the campus.”

Poll: Upbeat baby boomers say they’re not old yet

By Connie Cass and Stacy A. Anderson Associated Press Writers

W A S H I N G T O N — Baby boomers say wrinkles aren’t so bad and they’re not that worried about dying. Just don’t call them “old.”

The generation that once powered a youth movement isn’t ready to symbolize the aging of America, even as its first members are becoming eligible for Medicare. A new poll finds three-quarters of all baby boomers still consider themselves middle-aged or younger, and that includes most of the boomers who are ages 57-65.

Younger adults call 60 the start of old age, but baby boomers are pushing that number back, according to the Associated Press-LifeGoes Strong.com poll. The median age they cite is 70. And a quarter of boomers insist you’re not old until you’re 80.

“In my 20s, I would have thought the 60s were bad, but they’re not so bad at all,” says 64-year-old Lynn Brown, a retired legal assistant and grandmother of 11 living near Phoenix in Apache Junction, Ariz.

The 77 million boomers are celebrating their 47th through 65th birthdays this year.

Overall, they’re upbeat about their futures. Americans born in the population explosion after World War II are more likely to be excited about the positive aspects of

aging, such as retirement, than worried about the negatives, like declining health. A third of those polled feel confident about growing older, almost twice as many as find it frustrating or sad. Sixteen percent report they’re happy about aging, about equal to the number who say they’re afraid. Most expect to live longer than their parents.

“I still think I’ve got years to go to do things,” says Robert Bechtel, 64, of Virginia Beach, Va. He retired last year after nearly four decades as a retail manager.

Now Bechtel has less stress and more time to do what he pleases, including designing

a bunk bed for his grandchildren, remodeling a bathroom and teaching Sunday school.

A strong majority of baby boomers are enthusiastic about some perks of aging — watching their children or grandchildren grow up, doing more with friends and family, and getting time for favorite activities. About half say they’re highly excited about retirement. Boomers most frequently offered the wisdom accumulated over their lives as the best thing about aging.

“The older you get, the smarter you get,” says Glenn Farrand, 62, of Ankeny, Iowa.

But, he adds, “The physical part of it is the pits.”

Baby boomers most often brought up failing health or fading physical abilities when asked to name the worst thing about getting older.

Among their top worries: physical ailments that would take away their independence (deeply worrisome to 45 percent), losing their memory (44 percent), and being unable to pay medical bills (43 percent). Many also fret about running out of money (41 percent).

Only 18 percent say they worry about dying. Another 22 percent are “moderately” concerned about it. More than two-thirds expect to live to at least age 76; 1 in 6 expects to make it into the 90s.

About half predict a better quality of life for themselves than their parents experienced as they aged.

“My own parents, by the time they were 65 to 70, were very, very inactive and very much old in their minds,” says Brown. So they “sat around the house and didn’t go anywhere.”

“I have no intentions of sitting around the house,” says Brown, whose hobbies

include motorcycle rides with her husband. “I’m enjoying being a senior citizen more than my parents did.”

But a minority of boomers — about a fourth — worry things will be harder for them than for the previous generation.

“I think we’ll have less,” said Vicki Mooney, 62, of Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., who fears older people will be pinched

Associated Press Writers

SUKABUMI, INDONESIA —Workers making Converse sneakers in Indonesia say supervisors throw shoes at them, slap them in the face and call them dogs and pigs. Nike, the brand’s owner, acknowledges that such abuse has occurred among the contractors that make its hip high-tops but says there was little it could do to stop it.

Dozens of workers interviewed by The Associated Press and a document released by Nike show that the footwear and athletic apparel giant has far to go to meet the standards it set for itself a decade ago to end its reliance on sweatshop labor.

Nike says nearly two-thirds of the factories that make Converse products fail to meet its standards for contract manufacturers but insists it cannot address many of those problems because many factories operate under contracts that were set before Nike bought Converse in 2003.

That does not appear to explain abuses that workers allege at the Pou Chen Group factory in Sukabumi, some 60 miles from Jakarta — it didn’t start making Converse products until four years after Nike bought Converse. One worker there said she was kicked by a supervisor last year after making a mistake

while cutting rubber for soles.

“We’re powerless,” said the woman, who like several others interviewed spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals. “Our only choice is to stay and suffer, or speak out and be fired.”

The 10,000 mostly female workers at the Taiwaneseoperated Pou Chen plant make around 50 cents an hour. That’s enough for food and bunkhouse-type lodging but little else. Some workers interviewed by the AP in March and April described being hit or scratched in the arm — one man until he bled.

Others said they were fired after filing complaints.

“They throw shoes and other things at us” said a 23year-old woman in the embroidery division. “They growl and slap us when they get angry.

“It’s part of our daily bread.”

Mira Agustina, 30, said she was fired in 2009 for taking sick leave, even though she produced a doctor’s note.

“It was a horrible job,” she said. “Our bosses pointed their feet at us, calling us names like dog, pig or monkey.” All are major insults to Muslims.

Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim nation.

At the PT Amara Footwear factory located just outside Jakarta, where another Taiwanese contractor makes Converse shoes, a supervisor ordered six female workers to

stand in the blazing sun after they failed to meet their target of completing 60 dozen pairs of shoes on time.

“They were crying and allowed to continue their job only after two hours under the sun,” said Ujang Suhendi, 47, a worker at a warehouse in the factory. The women’s supervisor received a warning letter for the May incident after complaints from unionized workers.

The company’s own inquiries also found workers at the two factories were subjected to “serious and egregious” physical and verbal abuse, including the punishment of forcing workers to stand in the sun, said Hannah Jones, a Nike executive who oversees the company’s efforts to improve working conditions.

“We do see other issues of that similar nature coming up across the supply chain but not on a frequent level,” she said.

“We see issues of working conditions on a less egregious nature across the board.”

Nike, which came under heavy criticism a decade ago for its use of foreign sweatshops and child labor, has taken steps since then to improve conditions at its 1,000 overseas factories. But the progress it has made at factories producing gear with its premier “swoosh” logo is not fully reflected in those making Converse products.

Malaria-fighting stinky sock smell project earns funding from Gates Foundation

By Katharine Houreld Associated Press Writer

NAIROBI, KENYA — What do mosquitoes like more than clean, human skin? Stinky socks. Scientists think the musky odor of human feet can be used to attract and kill mosquitoes that carry deadly malaria. The Gates Foundation announced on Wednesday that it will help fund one such pungent project in Tanzania.

If they can be cheaply massproduced, the traps could provide the first practical way of controlling malaria infections outside. The increased use of bed nets and indoor spraying has helped bring down transmissions inside homes.

Dutch scientist Dr. Bart Knols first discovered mosquitoes were attracted to foot odor by standing in a dark room naked and examining where he was bitten, said Dr. Fredros Okumu, the head of the research project at Tanzania’s Ifakara Health Institute.

But over the following 15 years, researchers struggled to put the knowledge to use.

Then Okumu discovered that the stinky smell — which he replicates using a careful blend of eight chemicals — attracts mosquitoes to a trap where they can be poisoned.

The odor of human feet attracted four times as many mosquitoes as a human volunteer and the poison can kill up to 95 percent of mosquitoes, he said.

Although the global infection rate of malaria is going down, there are still more than 220 million new cases of malaria each year. The U.N. estimates almost 800,000 of those people die. Most of them are children in Africa.

“This is the first time that we are focusing on controlling mosquitoes outside of homes,” said Okumu, a Kenyan who has been ill with the disease himself several times. “The global goal of eradication of malaria will not be possible without new technologies.”

Some experts worry eradication is unrealistic because of the lack of an effective malaria vaccine and because some patients have developed resistance to the most

effective malaria medicines.

“This is an interesting project,” said Richard Tren, the director of health advocacy group Africa Fighting Malaria.

“But there is no magic bullet.

We are going to need a lot of different tools to fight malaria. Certainly we need to solve the problems of insecticide resistance and preserve the effectiveness of malaria drugs that we have at the moment.”

Other scientists — including some funded by the Gates Foundation — are researching equally novel ideas, including breeding genetically modified mosquitoes to wipe out malaria-spreading insects and creating a fungus that would kill the parasite.

Okumu received an initial grant of $100,000 to help his research two years ago. Now the project has been awarded an additional $775,000 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Grand Challenges Canada to conduct more research on how the traps should be used and whether they can be produced affordably.

There’s great debate among orthopedic surgeons about the best implants to use.

Some are made of ceramic and others of metal. Some say ceramic parts last longer and others say they don’t. Some say the metal ones release ions into a patient’s body and others deny it.

There’s even debate about the best technique to do surgery and the use of cement.

Dr. Richard Wendt, of OrthoKansas in Lawrence, said today’s implants typically last 15 to 20 years. He doesn’t anticipate any big advances in the technology being used.

He said the outcomes for joint replacements are better today because: ● Orthopedic doctors are subspecializing in one or two joints instead of all of them.

For example, Wendt specializes in knees and hips, while his partner, Dr. Doug Stull, specializes in shoulders. So, doctors are getting better at what they do and are doing more surgeries in their specialty.

“It makes patient care better — no question,” Wendt said. “Studies have shown over and over again: The more volume, the better the results.” ● The materials — plastic, metal and ceramic — used in the implants are better. ● The implants are fitting better because more sizes are available.

Wendt advises patients to

Notable ● Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers Wednesday the Fed is ready to act if the economy gets weaker. He warned them that allowing the nation to default on its debt would send “shock waves through the entire financial system.”

Underscoring how fragile the economy remains two years after the Great Recession, Bernanke laid out three new steps the Fed could take, including a fresh round of government bond purchases designed to stimulate economic growth.

“We have to keep all the options on the table. We don’t know where the economy is going to go,” Bernanke told the House Financial Services Committee.

The Fed chairman stopped short of promising anything, but Wall Street appeared comforted that the central bank was poised to act. The Dow Jones industrial average was up more than 150 points during his testimony to Congress, and closed up 45.

Obama to GOP: ‘Don’t call my bluff’

By David Espo and Andrew Taylor Associated Press Writers

W A S H I N G T O N — President Barack Obama bluntly told Republican congressional leaders Wednesday they must compromise quickly if the government is to avoid an unprecedented default, adding, “Don’t call my bluff” by passing a short-term debt limit increase he has threatened to veto.

The presidential warning, directed at House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., marked an acrimonious end to a two-hour negotiating session at the White House that produced no evident progress toward a compromise.

Another round of talks is set for today.

With a threatened default less than three weeks away, Moody’s Investors Service announced it was reviewing the U.S. bond rating for a possible downgrade, and the Treasury said the annual def icit was on a pace to exceed $1 trillion for the third year in a row.

With the negotiations at a seeming standstill, Republicans drew a warning of a different sort, from an unlikely source — the party’s Senate leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

In an interview with radio talk-show host Laura Ingraham, McConnell warned fellow conservatives that failure to raise the debt limit would probably ensure Obama’s reelection in 2012.

Republicans, many of them elected with the support of tea party activists in 2010, are demanding deep spending cuts as the price for allowing

a debt limit increase to pass.

But negotiations have bogged down over Obama’s demand for tax increases that GOP lawmakers say they won’t accept.

McConnell predicted that if Congress fails to act, Obama will argue “that Republicans are making the economy worse and try to convince the public, maybe with some merit, if people start not getting their Social Security checks and military families start getting letters saying their service people overseas don’t get paid.”

“You know, it’s an argument he has a good chance of winning, and all of a sudden we (Republicans) have coownership of a bad economy,” McConnell said. “That is a very bad positioning going into an election.”

McConnell said his first choice was to reach a good compromise with Obama.

Short of that, “my second obligation is to my party ... to prevent them from being sucked into a horrible position politically that would allow the president probably to get re-elected because we didn’t handle this difficult situation correctly.”

With bipartisan talks scheduled to resume today, two Democratic off icials quoted Obama as telling Republicans, “Enough is enough. We have to be willing to compromise. It shouldn’t be about positioning and politics, and I’ll see you all tomorrow.”

Talking with reporters at the Capitol after he left the White House, Cantor said the president had backed away from spending cuts agreed to earlier because of pressure from Democrats in Congress.

For hip and knee replacements, the biggest risk is infection.

It’s because the artificial parts don’t have their own blood supply, as the natural parts do. So, if bacteria get on the parts, they can live there.

Antibiotics won’t work because there’s no blood supply to get them to the joint.

If the joints become infected, doctors have to remove the parts and replace them in a separate surgery, after the infection has cleared up.

“It’s at least two more surgeries,” Hendricks said. “It’s

No bill has been submitted yet in the recent legal challenge.

“As SRS offices are being closed and vital services that people depend on are being decimated in the name of fiscal responsibility, it is appalling to me that Gov. Brownback hires a lucrative law firm to defend his extreme social agenda,” Hensley said.

Brownback’s spokeswoman Sherienne Jones-Sontag said the decision to hire Foulston Siefkin was Attorney General Derek Schmidt’s, who is also a Republican.

Other major risks include anesthetic complications, blood clots and blood loss requiring a transfusion. For hip replacements, there’s an added risk of dislocation and a change in leg length.

Minor risks for both replacements include nausea, constipation, persistent pain or stiffness, and nerve injury.

Surgeons also vary on their methods of preventing these risks from happening. For example, one risk is blood clots. Doctors vary on the type of medications they

My surgery took about an hour. I woke up about 1:15 p.m., and soon my family came to greet me.

I asked for water, warm blankets and lip balm. I wasn’t nauseated. I hardly felt any pain because a peripheral nerve catheter pushed a numbing solution into the major nerve near my hip.

Once I was in my room, nurses put massage devices on my feet to assist with blood flow and circulation.

These little air pumps felt so good I wanted to take them home.

After my family left, I mostly slept except for when nurses were giving me pills, checking my vitals or taking blood.

At 10 a.m. the next day, I had physical therapy and made it down the hallway on the first trip with a walker. An hour later, I had occupational therapy, where I learned to put on my socks and shoes without bending past my waist. When you have a hip replacement, you can’t bend more than 90 degrees for about six weeks because, if you do, you can dislocate the hip.

That afternoon, the day after surgery, I walked a loop around the orthopedic area with a walker, the urinary catheter was removed, and IV fluid was stopped.

I felt like I was well on my way to recovery.

office in the manner judged to be in the best interests of Kansas.

“Gov. Brownback respects the constitutional distinctions between his office and the office of the attorney general and accepts the staffing decisions of the attorney general in this matter,” she said.

The attorney general’s off ice is responsible for defending state laws but does hire outside help occasionally, usually for special expertise, as is the case with water litigation, or if there is a conflict of interest. Schmidt’s office did not return a phone call and email asking why the office hired an outside firm in the Planned Parenthood case.

Hensley also noted that the Foulston law firm represents the billionaire Koch brothers, who are the owners of Wichita-based Koch Industries,

involved in numerous rightwing causes and are some of Brownback’s largest campaign contributors.

The state also faces another federal lawsuit in which abortion clinics have challenged new regulations. The attorney general’s office says it expects to hire an outside firm in that case, too.

Brownback supported and signed into law both the new regulations on abortion clinics and diverting $334,000 in federal family planning funds away from Planned Parenthood. Even though the family planning funds cannot be used for abortions, abortion opponents say those funds subsidize abortions. Planned Parenthood has denied that allegation.

Howell said Lawrence offers “amazing hospitality, which includes a three-night stay at the Spring Hill Suites, food donated by Johnny’s, Backdoor Bakery, Pieroguys Pierogies, The Daughters of Isabella, Local Burger, First Southern Baptist Church and St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church.

Mark Brooks, Lawrence Habitat for Humanity construction manager, said he is thankful to the entire community for their contributions, but the hotel is a “huge deal.”

“It gives them a room, shower and a pool,” Brooks said. “All amenities they need after traveling hundreds of miles on a bicycle.”

The riders appreciate the hospitality.

“Most of the time we sleep

on the floor of a church in our sleeping bags, and a church only has so many showers. So you are either taking a cold shower, washing off with a hose or taking a sponge bath,” said Bike and Build rider Ellen Carpenter from Houghton, Mich. “The hotel is an upgrade from where we usually stay.”

Lawrence is the halfway point in the 4,025-mile trip for the crew as they journey from Providence, R.I., to San Francisco.

Outside judge to hear request to withdraw plea A judge from outside of Douglas County will handle a murder defendant’s request to withdraw his voluntary manslaughter plea in connection with the 2006 death of a Lawrence hip-hop artist.

Judge Philip L. Sieve, who has senior status and was previously a chief judge in Wyandotte County, will conduct a hearing on Monday in Douglas County District Court for Major C. Edwards Jr., 31, of Lawrence, a state judicial branch spokesman said.

Edwards pleaded guilty in March 2010 to voluntary

manslaughter in connection with the October 2006 shooting of Anthony “Clacc” Vital, whose body was found west of Lawrence. Edwards claims he was not aware he was pleading guilty to intentionally killing someone.

He was the state’s key witness in a trial earlier this year of co-defendant Durrell Jones, 24, of Kansas City, Kan. Edwards testified he saw Jones shoot Vital that night to collect on a drug debt — a claim Jones’ defense attorney disputes. Edwards also said he felt remorse for leading Jones

to Vital. A jury deadlocked, and Jones faces a retrial in August.

Edwards now alleges he was misled into entering a plea in the case, but prosecutors disagree. Defense attorney Napoleon Crews said Chief District Judge Robert Fairchild likely asked Sieve to handle the hearing because Fairchild accepted the guilty plea when Edwards was represented by Kay Huff, who has since been appointed a Douglas County judge.

“It’s Judge Fairchild’s attempt to be as fair as possible to Major Edwards,” Crews said.

OPINION

LAWRENCE JOURNAL-WORLD ● LJWorld.com ● Thursday, July 14, 2011

EDITORIALS

Taxes tempered Thanks to city officials for trimming the proposed property tax increase.

L

awrence taxpayers owe a “thank you” to Lawrence city commissioners and staff members who listened to their concerns and reduced the city’s mill-levy increase from 2.8 mills to a more moderate 1.88 mills.

Late Tuesday afternoon, City Manager David Corliss came up with proposed budget cuts that were approved by city commissioners at their meeting Tuesday night. Key among those cuts were decisions to delay the purchase of a $750,000 hazardous materials vehicle for the fire department and to cut $200,000 from the city’s parks and recreation budget. These are not pleasant cuts but they are a prudent move for this year, during which taxpayers already have agreed to a 1.7-mill levy increase to fund an addition to the Lawrence Public Library.

Corliss warned that the cuts might prevent the city from undertaking new projects such as a new recreation center in northwest Lawrence and acquisition of the Santa Fe Depot in east Lawrence. Those are desirable projects but not an essential part of providing city services.

Mayor Aron Cromwell expressed optimism that funding still would be found for the depot and other projects. We also hope that is the case — if not this year, then soon. For this year, however, city officials deserve credit for recognizing that the current economy calls for austerity in both public and private spending.

Open negotiations

South Korea investing in education South Korea’s announcement that it will ban all school paper textbooks and replace them with electronic tablets by 2014 should ring alarm bells in the United States, Europe and Latin America. Many of our children run the risk of being left even farther behind their digital-savvy Asian counterparts.

Already, according to a new study by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, South Korea is the top country in the world where 15year-old students make the best use of Internet-connected computers in schools.

Perhaps not by coincidence, South Korea is also one of the world’s leading countries in student test scores. In the latest worldwide PISA test of 15-yearold students, it ranked No. 2 in students’ reading comprehension, after Shanghai, China. The United States ranked 17th, Spain 33rd and the highest-ranking Latin American country, Chile, 44th.

Now, the learning gap between South Korean students and those of most Western countries may widen further.

The South Korean government said it will invest $2 billion over the next two years to provide all elementary school children with free electronic tablets connected to the Internet, and — most important — with customized elearning programs. The plan is scheduled to be extended to all high school students by 2015.

“

Perhaps not by coincidence, South Korea is also one of the world’s leading countries in student test scores.”

In the Americas, only one country, Uruguay, has one computer per child in all elementary public schools. While Uruguay is a pioneer worldwide on this, not all of its school computers are connected to the Internet, nor use digitalized learning programs.

In high schools, there are five students per computer in the United States, seven in South Korea, 11 in Mexico, 17 in Peru, 20 in Chile, 25 in Uruguay, 25 in Argentina and 33 in Brazil, according to the latest OECD figures.

But the biggest significance of the South Korean plan is that its school tablets will use exclusively custom made e-learning programs, says Eugenio Severin, an

Inter American Development Bank specialist on digital education in Latin America and the Caribbean.

“This means that they will no longer spend money in paper, printing and distribution,” Severin told me. “They will use multimedia technologies that make learning more fun, and more effective.”

Granted, many of you are probably wondering whether we should embrace this trend and throw the traditional school textbooks away.

There are legitimate questions on whether digital education is a magic pill. You may argue that South Korean kids do better in standardized test scores because they study harder, and longer, rather than because they use computers.

Indeed, most South Korean youths spend 12 hours or more a day studying in school and at home, and their school year lasts 216 days a year, compared with 180 days in the United States, and less in most Latin American countries. During a recent visit to Honduras, I was shocked to learn that the school year there averages 140 days a year.

Severin told me that a recent IADB study he co-authored confirms that, despite a lack of technical support and training for teachers, computers in schools improve academic standards and narrow the digital gap between children from affluent homes and poor ones.

Lawrence city commissioners were looking at the proposed 1987 city budget submitted by City Manager Buford Watson.

YEARS Commissioners had agreed to use AGO leftover federal revenue-sharing IN 1986 funds, if available, to pay for requests by the Lawrence Arts Center, Watkins Museum, Lawrence Arts Commission and Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging. If revenue-sharing funds were not available, the projects would be funded with general revenues.

“South Korea’s education achievements are not the product of improvisation,” he added.

“It’s the result of 20 years of steady investments in education and education technology.”

My opinion: Fortunately, many Latin American countries, led by Uruguay, have begun providing free laptops to students. But in many cases, it amounts to little more than giveaway programs, which help governments win elections but don’t necessarily improve education standards if they are not accompanied by good teacher training and tech support.

The key to educational progress in Latin America is continuity — making sure that every new government doesn’t undo what it inherited from its predecessor.

To ensure progress, countries should seek political agreements among major political parties that commit them to pursue mutually agreed long-term education plans. If that doesn’t work, they should create powerful civil society groups — backed by the biggest private sector companies, as it happens in Brazil — to put pressure on governments to meet long-term education goals.

Successful countries know that education is an investment that pays off in 15 or 20 years and make long-term plans. South Korea did precisely that, and it worked.

OLD HOME TOWN

Taxpayers who fund school and city salaries ought to be able to observe the negotiations that help set those salaries. alaries are a key component of budget considerations for the Lawrence school district and city government. The salaries paid to teachers and to police and fire department employees are an important part of the budget bill that taxpayers will be expected to pay.

Although negotiations between teachers and the school district are open to the public, negotiations between the city and its police and fire representatives traditionally are held in private. It is legal for those sessions to be closed, but it also would be legal — and perhaps beneficial — for them to be open.

Negotiations aren’t likely to draw a major crowd, but as a matter of form, taxpayers who eventually will pay the bill should have the right to observe those sessions if they choose. Opening police and fire talks to the public might have an impact on the tone of those sessions, but that impact probably would be minor unless the negotiators tried to use the sessions to grandstand for the public, which might or might not be impressed by such efforts.

It’s too late to consider any change for this year — police and fire negotiations reportedly already are at impasse — but open negotiations would be worth a try next year.

PUBLIC FORUM

Children will lose To the editor: Many children will be hurt if Gov. Brownback closes the Lawrence office of the Kansas social service agency (SRS), as his administration has threatened. That’s because children, like people with disabilities, are core clients of these irreplaceable services.

Robert Siedlecki, the new SRS head, told the Journal-World that closing an office is like sacrificing a child. That couldn’t be more literally true — except that in this case many children will be sacrificed, not just one. Times are tough, especially for kids. Cases of child neglect and abuse have risen 11 percent in northeast Kansas in this fiscal year. And now Siedlecki, who lived in Florida until joining SRS in January, wants to close the service office!

In defense of his ill-advised decision, Siedlecki said that the child poverty rate in Douglas County (19 percent) is lower than in Shawnee and Wyandotte counties and that under 10 percent of the public in Douglas County is directly served by SRS. This shows two things: How much is at stake (one in five children, nearly one in 10 residents) and how little the Brownback administration seems to care.

But SRS remains open. The closure isn’t due until October. So we have time to resist.

The city should file suit to overturn the decision. And we can rally again as we did on Monday at Plymouth Congregational Church, when 600 people stood up to be heard. The children of Lawrence will be defenseless only if we fail to defend them.

David Smith, Lawrence

To the editor: So, according to Gov. Brownback, closing the Lawrence SRS office is no big deal because “clients can always access needed services in the Topeka or Kansas City offices or by the Internet.” How? Is the governor so far removed from reality that he doesn’t know that poor people generally cannot afford a car or, if so, the current gas prices? Poor people do not have Internet either. Asking our library and other overburdened offices to teach them how to use the Internet simply is inconsiderate at best. But our governor has an answer for all of this: “Let them eat cake.”

13 inmates charged for 2010 uprising Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Thirteen inmates at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth face charges for their roles in an August 2010 uprising in the prison’s special housing unit.

Army spokesman Jeff Wingo said Wednesday the incident occurred last Aug. 12 when two inmates in the maximum security wing who were out of their cells for recreation overpowered a corrections officer.

The men then took the keys and unlocked the cells of 11 other inmates. The rest of the 450-inmate prison was locked down without incident while guards regained control.

The unit was one of seven special housing units, including one where inmates on death row are kept. Wingo said none of the death row inmates were involved in the incident in question.

The inmates fashioned weapons from wooden brooms and metal table legs,

flooded the housing unit and barricaded the doors during the standoff. An Army Criminal Investigation Command team and barracks staff tried to negotiate the release of the guard, but efforts failed.

Wingo said the disturbance ended shortly after 10 p.m. when a special reaction team entered the special housing unit, subdued the inmates and rescued the corrections officer.

The team used pepper spray and rubber bullets to subdue the inmates, several of whom were treated for minor injuries.

The corrections officer and one member of the response team who suffered nonlifethreatening injuries were treated and released from nearby hospitals.

The inmates involved face several charges, including mutiny and kidnapping. Four of the inmates have completed general courts martial resulting in sentences of 40 months to 15 years, which will be served consecutively with their current sentences.

‘TRob’ teaches LeBron lesson-* ——

*-’LeBron wasn’t playing full speed’

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Kansas University basketball power forward Thomas Robinson reportedly held his own while guarding — and being guarded by — LeBron James in a pick-up game last week at the NBA phenom’s Skills Academy in Akron, Ohio.

“LeBron wasn’t playing full speed,” Robinson, KU’s 6-foot10, 240-pound junior from Washington, D.C., said modestly in an interview Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse. “I’m pretty sure he could turn it up another notch.”

Robinson, who worked as a counselor at the camp for high school standouts, conceded that James offered some encouraging words at the conclusion of the event.

“He said himself I was strong, so that was a compliment,” Robinson said of the 6-8, 250pound Miami Heat veteran.

“He was cool, way down-toearth, even more than I thought. I really respect him.

“He’s tweeted me and told me to keep Robinson working. I told him I will. I told him to talk for me. I’m trying to make some noises here. He said he will, so I mean hopefully he will,” Robinson added of James singing his praises this upcoming season.

Robinson — his dunk highlighted the Amar’e Stoudemire camp in June in Chicago — also emerged as a standout at the James camp.

ESPN announcer Fran Fraschilla, who attended the camp, said in one Twitter post: “UK’s Anthony Davis and Buckeyes’ Jared Sullinger are lotto picks right now (in 2012 NBA Draft) but you BETTER put KU’s Thomas Robinson in there also. A BEAST!!!”

In a personal tweet to Robinson, Fraschilla wrote: “Been bragging on you after that LeBron Camp performance!

Keep working hard this summer and enjoy going home to DC!” ESPN’s Jay Bilas, who also attended the camp, wrote: “Thomas Robinson was among the hardest working and most productive in the camp and has the chance for a really big year for Bill Self.”

“I didn’t see that,” Robinson said in response, “but I busted my butt there so ... I think I have a lot more to do. I have a lot to prove. It’s good to earn the respect of Jay Bilas and Fran Fraschilla, but there’s also a lot of people still doubting my game, so my work is not done.

Steelers’ Harrison blasts, well, everyone NEW YORK (AP) — Heavily fined Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison calls NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell a “crook” and a “devil,” among other insults, in a magazine article.

The 2008 AP Defensive Player of the Year hasn’t been shy about ripping the league after he was docked $100,000 for illegal hits last season. In the August issue of Men’s Journal, his rants against Goodell reach another level.

“If that man was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn’t do it,” Harrison told the magazine. “I hate him and will never respect him.”

His other descriptions of the commissioner include an anti-gay slur, “stupid,” “puppet” and “dictator.”

If the Steelers had defeated the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl, Harrison said, he would have whispered Harrison in Goodell’s ear during the trophy ceremony: “Why don’t you quit and do something else, like start your own league in flag football?”

Harrison also criticizes other

NFL execs, Patriots-turned-commentators Rodney Harrison and Tedy Bruschi (“clowns”), Houston’s Brian Cushing (“juiced out of his mind”) — and even teammates Rashard Mendenhall and Ben Roethlisberger for their performances in the Super Bowl loss.

Harrison calls the running back a “fumble machine” for his fourthquarter turnover. Mendenhall said on Twitter on Wednesday he didn’t have a problem with what Harrison said “because I know him.”

But he also included a link to his stats from last season, which show he didn’t have a pattern of fumbling.

By David J. Neal Miami Herald

Here’s why we cared about what happened on a patch of German grass Wednesday.

Days after our annual swaggering celebration on the Fourth of July, we’re back to wondering what “U.S.” means anymore.

Not so much the ethnic change, bothersome as that is for some. Assimilation happens. So, the Lavi kid plays football, the Fernandez kid plays hockey and they live in a Midwestern suburb on either side of Smith and Jones, who just wish all the kids would turn down the hip-hop.

But we can’t seem to stop wobbling. We don’t make much anymore, so we’re not sure what “Buy American!” means. We wrench a squeaky cheer out of every barely positive economic indicator as every poll reflects our true pessimism. Our games provide no diversion. The NFL lockout continues. The NBA lockout sides look as intractable as the Democrats and Republicans posturing in Washington with a debt deadline looming. Just as they can agree only that the president is wrong, the only thing we can agree on about our public education system is that it’s broke and broken.

But who do we want to be? We know that when we see it. That’s why we watched, texted, refreshed and Tweeted for two hours Wednesday afternoon as the U.S. women’s soccer team again did at the World Cup what we would like to do as a nation: recover, endure, prosper.

Lucky to be up on a marvelously skilled French side 1-0 at half, the U.S. women reached the second half drained. France tied the score. The United States clearly wasn’t replenished from Sunday’s miracle over Brazil and malodorous officiating.

Weary prey.

U.S. coach Pia Sundhage inserted Megan Rapinoe at midfield and moved Abby Wambach back to midfield.

Wambach headed home the first of two second-half goals that took out the French.

But it’s the heart part that made it the perfect follow-up to Sunday.

The U.S. women’s soccer team found a way. While we as a nation and as individuals search for a way to move forward out of so much muck, the team did so successfully. Enervated by recent events, they didn’t give in to the tangible feel that they were no longer surfing the game’s waves so much as trying to avoid being drowned.

We want to believe we’ll do the same.

We’re not giant fans of intellect. Call it “ingenuity,” and we’re on the bandwagon.

From the light bulb to the rope-a-dope, that’s America, we smile. Now, we look for the next culture-curving better mousetrap, not entirely sure it will come from us or that we will be able to perfect it. Back in 1979, we called it a “crisis of confidence.”

That’s the era into which blew the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, The Miracle on Ice bunch. We love remembering how a bunch of U.S. college kids knocked off the mighty Soviet Union, the best team in the world.

Comparisons of that to 2011 U.S. women’s soccer aren’t fair to the women.

It’s not the Olympics. There’s no twoweek buildup to the big game. We were considered long shots to even medal going into the 1980 Olympic hockey tournament, while the U.S. women were ranked as contenders for the World Cup. But the setup is similar. Through general bleakness comes a bunch of athletes with too much gumption to stay down and making us point to them with, “Yeah, that’s America the beautiful.”

Needles linked to Clemens’ DNA, steroids WASHINGTON — Prosecutors said Wednesday that needles and cotton balls Roger Clemens’ former trainer says he used to inject the star pitcher tested positive for Clemens’ DNA and anabolic steroids — evidence the defense said was faked.

Assistant U.S. attorney Steven Durham revealed the results during opening arguments in Clemens’ trial on charges of lying to Congress about using performance-enhancing drugs. Clemens’ attorney Rusty Hardin responded that he won’t dispute the needles contain Clemens’ DNA and steroids, Clemens but accused the trainer Brian McNamee of “mixing” it up.

“He manufactured this stuff,” Hardin told jurors. “Roger Clemens’ only crime was having the poor judgment to stay connected with Brian McNamee.”

Hardin said steroids would have been so “incredibly inconsistent with his career and beliefs that there’s no way he would have done it.”

Clemens has said that the only things McNamee ever injected him with were the common local anesthetic lidocaine for his joints and vitamin B-12 to ward off flu viruses and stay healthy. But Durham said neither substance was found on the needles or cotton swabbed with his blood stains.

Hardin told the jury that the government is “horribly wrong” in charging his client with perjury, false statements and obstruction of Congress. Clad in a dark suit, Clemens watched silently from the defense table with a clenched jaw.

Hardin showed the jury an enlarged photo of the country with all the sites where federal agents investigated the case.

He said it involved 103 law enforcement officers, five attorneys, 229 investigation reports and 72 investigation locations across the continental United States, Germany and Puerto Rico.

“They still didn’t find anything to connect him with steroids except Brian McNamee,” Hardin said.

MLB Steinbrenner remembered TAMPA, FLA. — Former New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner was remembered Wednesday night before a minor-league game on the first anniversary of his death.

A short message was read over the publicaddress system, and a moment of silence was observed before the Tampa Yankees hosted the Palm Beach Cardinals at Steinbrenner Field.

Steinbrenner died of a heart attack at 80 on July 13, 2010. The Boss, who resided in Tampa, would watch the Class-A Yankees play from his fourth-floor office at the facility.

Yankees fan gets own baseball card NEW YORK — The fan who returned Derek Jeter’s ball from his 3,000th hit will get a bit of memorabilia to keep — his own baseball card.

Topps says it will produce a trading card featuring Christian Lopez that will be included in sets later this year.

“We thought what he did captures the essence of what baseball and the Topps company is about,” said Mark Sapir, Topps vice president for sports.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Xavier AD to be NCAA chair INDIANAPOLIS — Xavier University athletic director Mike Bobinski will be the chairman of the NCAA Div. I men’s basketball committee for the 2012-13 season.

The NCAA announced Wednesday that Bobinski would succeed Connecticut athletic director Jeff Hathaway as chairman after the upcoming season and tournament.

This will be Bobinski’s fourth year of a fiveyear term on the committee which sets the brackets for the 68-team field.

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith was the chairman last season.

NFL Star QBs: It’s time to end lockout NEW YORK — Calling the players’ offer “fair for both sides,” star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees — plaintiffs in an antitrust suit against the NFL — said Wednesday “it is time” to wrap up negotiations on a deal to end the league’s lockout.

At the bargaining table, though, it wasn’t that easy.

On the day Brady, Manning and Brees spoke as a group publicly for the first time, players and owners spent nearly 11 hours meeting at a Manhattan law office.

Negotiations were scheduled to resume this morning. With each passing day, the need to strike a bargain and end the first NFL work stoppage since 1987 becomes greater.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL West Va. left guard to miss season MORGANTOWN, W.VA. — West Virginia left guard Josh Jenkins will miss this season after undergoing surgery on his left knee.

Montana’s son pleads guilty MISSOULA, MONT. — Joe Montana’s son has pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless driving stemming from a traffic stop in which he declined a breathalyzer test.

Nate Montana was pulled over for going 39 mph in a 25 mph zone in Missoula early June 3. The 21-year-old University of Montana quarterback was arrested on a first-offense DUI charge after a sheriff’s deputy said he smelled alcohol and that Montana fumbled with his driver’s license.

Judge denies UNC player’s request DURHAM, N.C. — A judge denied a request Wednesday by a former North Carolina football player to be reinstated to the team after being declared permanently ineligible for academic misconduct by the NCAA. Durham County Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson denied a petition by Michael McAdoo seeking to compel the university to reinstate him while preventing the NCAA from interfering in that process or punishing the school if he returned. McAdoo sought the court ruling so that he would be able to return to the football team in time for the start of his senior season this fall.

NBA Memo supports playing overseas NEW YORK — When it comes to playing overseas during the NBA lockout, Billy Hunter has a simple message for the league’s players: Enjoy your trip, we’ll call you when it’s time to come home.

In a memo sent to players on Tuesday night and obtained by the Associated Press on Wednesday, the union leader said the NBA Players’ Association supports all players “who are taking steps to continue to earn a living, stay in peak competitive shape, and play the game that we love while the unfortunate league-imposed lockout is in place.”

Deal to sell 76ers done PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia 76ers have been sold to New York-based leveraged buyout specialist Joshua Harris, ending ComcastSpectacor’s 15-year run of ownership that included a trip to the NBA finals.

The tentative deal, which does not include ownership of their building, the Wells Fargo Center, must be approved by the NBA.

Wade undecided on ‘12 Olympics DAVIE, FLA. — Dwyane Wade is revisiting the site of his 2008 Olympic triumph later this summer. Whether he’ll be going with the U.S. to the London Games remains unclear.

Taking a break from hosting a basketball camp for hundreds of children, Wade said Wednesday his decision on next year’s Olympics “depends on a lot of things” and that he was not leaning one way or another.

didn’t know a free kick from a corner kick just a few days ago flooded Twitter with congratulations. “My heroes.

Wambach. Boxx. Rapinoe.

Solo. That TEAM! Our team!” actor Tom Hanks tweeted. Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers said, “Awesome job US Women, finish it off Sunday now.”

Wambach and company were glad to share the moment.

“These wins, we can’t do it alone. We know a whole nation is cheering us on,” Wambach said. “We believe in ourselves and we’re in the final. I couldn’t be happier.”

A little relieved, too.

France was the surprise of the tournament, making the semifinals with a creativity and flair that was breathtaking to behold. And for much of the game, the U.S. couldn’t contain Les Bleues.

“We didn’t play well today,” U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said. “However, we find a way to win and that’s a credit to the players’ hearts.

That’s what makes it so wonderful to be coach of this team.”

With the U.S. struggling to create opportunities in the middle, Sundhage replaced Carli Lloyd with sparkplug Megan Rapinoe early in the second half, moved Lauren Cheney inside and pulled Wambach back to the midfield.

The difference was noticeable immediately for the United States.

The Americans were able to push forward and began threatening French goalkeeper Berangere Sapowicz.

Finally, in the 79th, the Americans won a corner kick.

“I told (Cheney) at halftime, ‘Put the ball to the back post, and we’re going to get a goal,”’ Wambach said.

Cheney delivered the ball perfectly to the far post and, just as Wambach had predicted, she soared over the scrum

“I haven’t done anything yet. I am three months from my f irst game at Kansas, which I’m working for. The summer is good to get my individual accolades up there and to get that attention toward here so people will support our season. I did that.

Now it’s about getting ready for my season.”

Up next for Robinson is the adidas Nations Global Experience Aug. 5-8 in Los Angeles.

Until then, he’ll be working out with the Jayhawks while attending summer school.

He’s been impressed with the newcomers, a group that includes forwards Braeden Anderson, Kevin Young, Merv Lindsay and Jamari Traylor and guards Naadir Tharpe and Ben McLemore.

“All those guys are good —

“

I haven’t done anything yet. I am three months from my first game at Kansas, which I’m working for.”

— Kansas’ Thomas Robinson Kevin, Merv, Braeden and Jamari all go hard and are physical. They run the floor and are athletic,” Robinson said. “Naadir is one of the smartest players off the pick and roll I’ve seen in a long time. Ben McLemore ... mark my words, he will be a great here. He will be a pro sooner or later. Jamari ... I want to say he’s similar to me. He’s highenergy. He’s trying to dunk every time. Merv’s a 6-6 shooter, real smooth player.

Kevin Young is high energy, I want to say a tweener. He has the potential to do more than (play) the 4 (power forward).”

X Thursday, July 14, 2011 said he was impressed with Ohio State’s Sullinger and Kentucky’s Davis at the camp.

Davis also spent some time guarding LeBron James.

“Anthony is quick,” Robinson said. “Sullinger is one of the smartest basketball players I’ve been around. I give respect to the (Morris) twins being smart basketball players. Sullinger is a great player as far as thinking-wise, and he’s getting the 15-footer down. He’s a great passer too.

He’s a player I respect at a high level.” ●

Mum’s the word: Robinson said he won’t be commenting this season about possibly heading to the NBA after his junior year at KU and won’t be talking about personal issues involving his family. That includes an upcoming court custody case in Maryland that will decide whether his sister, Jayla, will continue living with her dad, or the family of the ● stepbrother of Robinson’s late Camp standouts: Robinson mom, Lisa.

“No, not at all,” Robinson said of discussing family issues. “I’ll be going home for a little while (before the start of first semester classes).

“I am not thinking about the NBA,” he noted. “I am worrying about winning the Big 12 championship and making our run in the tournament.

The NBA is out of the question right now. I am still a junior. I have two more years left in school.” ●

CEILING FANS AND REMODELING

By Clark Goble Journal-World Sports Writer

When Sporting Kansas City defender Matt Besler was 12 years old, he struggled to motivate himself to develop his soccer skills during the brutal heat of Kansas City summers.

That’s one of the main reasons he found time during his busy Major League Soccer schedule to help out cousin Hunter Peirce at Wednesday’s session of the Rising Stars Soccer Clinic at Free State High.

Besler, a 24-year-old center back recently named to the MLS All-Star team, led the 25 or so campers in a cool-down jogging game, answered a variety of questions and signed autographs on everything from cards to cleats.

He made the trip from Kansas City despite taking a knock to his legs in Sporting KC’s 2-0 loss to the Richmond Kickers in the U.S. Open Cup on Tuesday at Livestrong Sporting Park.

“This is something that was important to me,” Besler said.

Sporting KC and Peirce, who received a $500 grant and a $2,000 college scholarship, are putting on the clinic.

Sixth-, seventh- and eighthgrade boys started the threeday clinic Monday and will finish Friday.

Girls will get their chance next week.

The goal of the clinic is to prepare players for the high school soccer experience.

Coaches emphasize the fundamentals and the importance of team defense and communication.

“I think a lot of freshmen get here, and they’re not really ready for it,” said Peirce, a senior-to-be who has been a varsity midfielder the past two seasons.

After receiving an email from his mother, Peirce applied for one of 22 spots by detailing his plan to help Lawrence’s growing soccer community.

When he was in junior high, there wasn’t much locally in terms of soccer development,

and pushed the ball past Sapowicz.

“I knew Abby was going to beat her,” Cheney said, referring to the French defender who practically mugged Wambach to try and contain her.

Asked how, Cheney said, “Because she’s Abby Wambach.”

Wambach let out a scream and did a sliding sprint into the corner, where she was mobbed by her teammates.

It was her third goal of the tournament and 12th of her career, tying fellow American Michelle Akers for third on the all-time World Cup scoring list.

Morgan then put the game out of reach, outracing four defenders and then stutterstepping in front of the goal, throwing Sapowicz off and leaving the American with a wide-open shot.

“The priority is not to accept another goal,” France coach Bruno Bini said through a translator. “When that happens, you’ve had it.

We conceded another goal, and that was it for us.”

MATT BESLER, LEFT, A MEMBER OF SPORTING KANSAS CITY, leads participants of the the Rising Stars Soccer Clinic through a cool-down workout Wednesday at Free State High School. so he hopes more camps spring up in the area.

But Peirce always wants to emphasize the fun of the game. He and other Free State players host pick-up scrimmages on Saturdays, and sometimes they lure football players to the pitch.

“Even if you’re not a varsity soccer player, it’s still fun,” Peirce said.

He said he thought Besler’s appearance would motivate youths to work on their skills.

Besler said Sporting KC is trying to focus on developing soccer in the Lawrence area.

“There’s a lot of potential,” Besler said.

One camper asked Besler what he wanted to be when he was a kid. Besler told the truth: He always wanted to be a professional soccer player.

But while at Notre Dame, Besler studied pre-med, just in case the soccer thing didn’t work out. He would’ve tried to become an eye doctor.

And though he was a bit disappointed he couldn’t kick the ball around with the campers, he said he hoped his appearance would encourage the players to work hard.

“That’s probably why I make time,” Besler said.

A few spots are available for the girls camp. Email hpsport ing22@gmail.com for more information.

FROM LEFT, SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS PABLO SANDOVAL, AUBREY HUFF AND SERGIO ROMO ARE GREETED at the end of a victory against the New York Mets on July 9 in San Francisco. The Giants, who lead the NL West by three games at 51-40 at the midway point of the season, will attempt to repeat as World Series Champions in 2011.

Giants going for repeat SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Giants manager Bruce Bochy wasn’t shy about recognizing his team’s problems at the AllStar break: The hitting is anemic, scoring scarce and statistics mind-boggling.

“I don’t mean to be Debbie Downer,” he said. “We’re in first place.”

How the injury-f illed Giants are leading the NL West can be a bit baffling.

About all the defending World Series champions do well is pitch close and win closer, and that seems to be the only things that matter.

The Giants open a fourgame series at San Diego today, beginning the season’s second half in first place for the first time since 2003 and looking every bit the surprising contender they were a year ago.

“This first half is a good one for us with the nicks that we’ve taken as players and everyone showing resiliency and bouncing back and being a part of the team regardless of what they’re asked to do,” two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum said.

“We’re in a good spot right now.”

It’s hard to argue that considering what they’ve endured.

The Giants lost the middle of their lineup — Buster Posey, Freddy Sanchez and Pablo Sandoval — to injuries for significant time. They had a road-stacked schedule early and enough championship ceremonies and celebrations to provide plenty of distractions.

Players even had camera crews following their every move for a documentary titled “The Franchise,” with the first episode premiering Wednesday night on Show-

time. The Giants certainly haven’t lacked for drama.

Posey, the 2010 NL Rookie of the Year, was lost for the season after he tore three ligaments in his left ankle and fractured a bone in his lower leg in a home-plate collision with Florida’s Scott Cousins on May 25.

Sanchez, the 2006 NL batting champion, has been out since he dislocated his right shoulder diving for a ball June 10, and there’s no guarantee the sure-handed second baseman will return soon.

Sandoval also missed more than six weeks recovering from right wrist surgery but has carried San Francisco since. The All-Star third baseman has a career-high 21game hitting streak.

“We need to keep fighting the way we have in the first half,” Sandoval said. “We’ve had a couple of tough injuries.

Buster, Freddy, I was on the DL. We are a team. We need to pull together like we did in the first half.”

The Giants have continued to play the kind of games they did all of last year: tight ones dependent on the pitcher being almost perfect. They lead the majors with a 25-12 record in one-run games this season, thanks in large part to a talented rotation and a strong bullpen.

San Francisco’s rotation received a big boost from 33year-old journeyman Ryan Vogelsong, who leads the staff with a 2.17 ERA and made his first All-Star team in a breakout season since replacing the injured Barry Zito. If Vogelsong comes anywhere close to duplicating his remarkable start, it could be a scary outlook for the National League.

The rest of the staff carried the franchise to its first title

since 1954 and first since moving West in 1958 last season, and it’s doing it again despite the fourth-worst run support in the majors.

“It has been tough,” said Matt Cain, one of four Giants All-Star pitchers. “That shows what group of guys we have and what kind of team we have. We’re not always banking on one guy to pick everyone up. That really works out well.”

While it can be easy to pick at the Giants’ shortcomings, it’s hard to argue with the end results.

A year ago, they were in fourth place in the division and four games behind the first-place Padres. Now they have a three-game lead over a young Arizona team and are 1 8 ⁄2 games ahead of banged-up Colorado.

Whether San Francisco could make another deep playoff run with such little scoring punch remains a mystery.

The Giants are the only team in the majors without a player with at least 10 home runs and are in desperate need of some power.

General manager Brian Sabean will surely try to rekindle his magic moves from a year ago, when lateseason pickups Cody Ross and Pat Burrell turned into postseason stars.

Otherwise it will be all on the pitchers to the carry the club again.

“It’s hard to ask this pitching to keep doing what it’s doing,” Bochy said. “The guys are relentless, resilient. They fight every day. That’s what we’ll need in the second half.

It’s going to be a tight race. It’s all about having the will.

These guys show it every day.”

Injuries mar first half of season

By Jon Krawczynski AP Baseball Writer

From Derek Jeter to Albert Pujols and Joe Mauer, you could put together an All-Star team just from the guys who have been stuck on the disabled list this season.

If 2010 was the Year of the Pitcher, 2011 might just be the Year of the Injury. David Wright, Buster Posey and Zack Greinke have missed big chunks of time as well, and the rash of injured stars may be one of the biggest reasons that all six division races are so close heading into the unofficial second half of the season.

With so many teams playing short-handed, no one has been able to break away from the pack yet and take command of the pennant race, set1 ting up a 2 ⁄2 month sprint to the finish.

Jeter spent 21 days on the shelf with a calf injury that slowed his pursuit of 3,000 hits, Pujols stunned everyone by coming back from a broken forearm after just two weeks, and Mauer’s seemingly unimpeachable image in his home

A MIDSUMMER SNOOZER? Baseball’s All-Star game drew a record-low rating for the second straight year.

The National League’s 5-1 win Tuesday on Fox earned a 6.9 rating and 12 share.

That’s down 8 percent from the 7.5/13 in 2010.

Before last year, the previous low was an 8.1/14 in 2005. state of Minnesota took a big hit when he spent most of the first two months of the season rehabbing a mysterious leg injury.

The current disabled list is chock full of stars — Johan Santana, Jon Lester, Roy Oswalt, Carl Crawford, Josh Johnson, Justin Morneau. And many of the trips haven’t been quick ones. Wright has been on the list since May 16 with a stress fracture in his lower back, Morneau is not expected back until mid-August after having neck surgery and Johnson was placed on the 60-

day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation on May 17.

Others won’t be back at all this year.

Posey, San Francisco’s bright young star catcher, is out after breaking his left leg and straining some ligaments in his left ankle on a home plate collision with Florida’s Scott Cousins on May 25. Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright, Yankees right-hander Joba Chamberlain and Boston’s Daisuke Matsuzaka have all had surgery on their pitching elbows and are rehabbing for 2012.

The Red Sox, Cardinals and Giants have somehow been able to weather a series of significant injuries and sit atop their respective divisions as the second half of the season is about to commence.

Others such as the Twins, who have watched eight regular players hit the DL for extended periods of time, and the Tampa Bay Rays, who saw Evan Longoria miss 26 games with an oblique injury, got off to slow starts in part because of health problems.

Wednesday was the 40th anniversary of one of the premier Midsummer Classics of the past 50 years, a Hall of Fame home run fest at Tiger Stadium. Six future Hall of Famers went yard that night in the All-Star Game, though Oakland’s Reggie Jackson took it a bit farther. He went light tower on the rightfield roof.

All of the runs in the American League’s 6-4 victory over the National League — a rarity in those days — were the result of home runs.

Never happened before, hasn’t happened since.

That the memories of that July 13, 1971, evening remain so vivid for those who saw the game in person or watched NBC’s national broadcast reflects how special this game remains.

It’s always fun remembering what once was, but it’s pointless lamenting why it can’t be that way again.

These aren’t All-Star players anymore.

They’re All-Star investments. Many share the same agents — and that competitive animosity among rivals simply isn’t there anymore.

But unlike the NFL Pro Bowl or the NBA and NHL mid-season interruptions, baseball has an All-Star Game worth saving, because it’s the only one in which there is no defensive deviation from the regular season.

The problem is that the powers-that-be made the exhibition game too complicated. Baseball is brutally difficult in execution, but it’s rather simple in design — pitcher vs. hitter. There remains nothing more competitively hypnotic than the best pitchers staring down a winner-takes-all duel against the best hitters.

That was true 40 years ago at Tiger Stadium.

It’s true now.

Baseball should ditch the “Sunday Rule” that prohibits starting pitchers from participating in the All-Star Game if they started two days earlier. The rule cost Tuesday’s game six prominent starters: Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez, CC Sabathia, Cole Hamels, Matt Cain and James Shields.

I understand why it’s done. Owners are worried about their potential $100million investment tweaking a shoulder or an elbow. But I have a hard time believing that such extraordinary athletes couldn’t pitch to one batter in the later innings without much physical risk, despite having thrown more than 100 pitches two days earlier.

Limit those guys to one batter.

Could you imagine the drama Tuesday night if Verlander strolled out from the bullpen in the eighth inning of a tight game with runners in scoring position and Albert Pujols pinchhitting?

I don’t care if you’re not a big baseball fan. If a friend texted you and said you needed to see this, you would switch the channel from a Food Network show talking about how to best to use a combination of rhubarb and bubble gum and watch that showdown.

Verlander couldn’t pitch.

Pujols mistakenly didn’t make the team because NL manager Bruce Bochy thought he needed a third catcher in case of extra innings since the determination of World Series home field hangs in the balance.

Baseball has blown a great promotional opportunity, and the lords of the sport have overtweaked the parameters of the All-Star Game to the point of rendering it virtually useless.

KU FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Lineman Hatch on Rimington Watch List

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University offensive lineman Jeremiah Hatch was one of 43 college players named to the Rimington Trophy committee’s 2011 Fall Watch List, the group announced Wednesday.

Hatch, a senior from Dallas, has started 35 games during his career, including all but one in 2010 and 23 at center. As a red-shirt freshman in 2008, he played both right and left tackle and earned second-team freshman All-

America honors from Rivals.com.

The Rimington Trophy is awarded annually to the Most Outstanding center in country, and the organization has pledged more than $2 million to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Hatch is one of three players from the Big 12 on the list, which includes 13 centers who were on the 2010 Watch List.

“My knee is 100 percent good to go.”

Though it’s unlikely that Tapko would transfer within the Big 12, it’s fair to say this decision at least landed somewhere on KU’s radar. One thing that makes Tapko transferring to KU a longshot is the NCAA rule that says any player transferring within the same conference is required to sit out a year and lose that year of eligibility before playing again.

KU, which sent recruiting coordinator Reggie Mitchell after the three-star prospect, cracked Tapko’s final seven.

ENGLAND’S LUKE DONALD HITS OUT OF THE BUNKER onto the sixth green during a practice round Wednesday for the British Open.

The event gets under way today at Royal St George’s golf course in Sandwich, England.

1981 , when Bill Rogers claimed his only major. It’s been back three times since then. Sandy Lyle was the winner in 1985. Eight years later, in what might have been the best final round of a major ever, Greg Norman won his second and most recent Grand Slam title by beating a bunch of heavyweights. He closed with a 64, his fourth sub-70 round, for a 267 total that remains this major’s low score.

And eight years ago, Ben Curtis came out of nowhere to shock the world by beating the likes of Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Davis Love III. He closed with a 69 for a 283, which left him as the only player under par. That, despite the fact that he bogeyed four of the f inal seven holes. Thomas Bjorn was leading, but he needed three shots to get out of a greenside bunker at the 70th hole. To this day, he still can’t talk about the experience.

Hard to blame him.

That’s what quirky squared can do to a mind and a soul.

By the way, St. George’s was also the place where James Bond supposedly played that infamous match with Mr. Goldfinger.

Course changes Par has been reduced from 71 to 70, and the course has been stretched out 100 yards.

The fourth hole has been changed from a par 5 to a 4, without altering the yardage.

It measures just a shade under 500.

The third hole has been

increased by 30 yards, to 239.

The seventh has gone from 532 to 573, and No. 9 is now 410. It used to be 388. The 15th has also been lengthened from 475 to 493.

More important, the first fairway has been widened by a dozen yards. In 2003, less than 30 percent of all drives finished in the short grass there.

Feature holes Instead of just one hole, let’s talk about more than one, because the place is unique.

The third, at 239 yards, is the only par 3 among the Open courses that’s bunkerless. Imagine that. But sand dunes surround the narrow green, which is dissected by a ridge. It played the third-hardest in relation to par in 2003.

The 161-yard 16th is the shortest hole. But it has seven bunkers guarding its green.

Ask Thomas Bjorn, who saw two shots roll back into one of the bunkers when he had a two-shot lead in 2003. It’s also the place where Tony Jacklin had the first televised hole-inone, at the 1967 Dunlop Masters.

The opening hole, which measures 442, has a valley cutting across the fairway some 250 yards off the tee that’s called “The Kitchen.”

Nice way to start. Then the approach shot needs to carry three cross-bunkers fronting a putting surface that falls away to the right. Tiger Woods hit his first shot 30 yards right in 2003, leading to a lost ball and a triple bogey.

The closer, at 456 yards, features an awkwardly shaped fairway. Why not? Players have to avoid two fairway bunkers, and a pair of crossbunkers farther up.

Approaches have been known to find a depression left of the green known as “Duncan’s Hollow,” named after a chap named George, who lost the 1922 Open when he failed to get up and down from there to save par.

The 12th is the shortest par 4, checking in at a mere 379 yards. But the dogleg right has nine bunkers that come into play from virtually every direction. And they’ve been known to produce some unpleasant lies.

Handicapping 101 Rory McIlroy (3-1): What, you were expecting maybe Tiger Woods?

Lee Westwood (8-1): Certainly been right there enough times recently.

Luke Donald (10-1): Is No. 1 in the world for his consistency, wouldn’t hurt if he won more.

Jason Day (15-1): But maybe only to place.

Charl Schwartzel (18-1): Masters champ tied for 14th last year, has missed cut four of six times.

Phil Mickelson (20-1): But this has never really been his major.

Graeme McDowell (22-1): Best finish in seven starts was tie for 11th in 2005.

Sergio Garcia (24-1): I know his putting is an issue, but he has been playing better.

Ian Poulter (26-1): Was distant second three years ago.

Martin Kaymer (28-1): Not in good form right now.

K.J. Choi (30-1): Solid as they come.

Nick Watney (32-1): Might be America’s best chance ...

Steve Stricker (34-1): ... If this guy isn’t.

Padraig Harrington (36-1): Is a two-time champ. But that was three years ago.

Matteo Manassero (40-1): His time should come, likely not yet.

Louis Oosthuizen (45-1): Nice guy, but difficult to envision any repeat.

Five others to ponder: Francesco Molinari, Alvaro Quiros, Ross Fisher, Ryo Ishikawa and Dustin Johnson.

The dreaded pick I have Woods in a yearlong pool that was filled out in December. So how’s that looking?

I could take McIlroy, but that would be too whatever.

Let’s think outside the box, which normally gets me nowhere either. At this major there’s always a good chance that at least a few guys on the leaderboard will be names we’ve rarely heard of in the states. That being said, for some reason I’m feeling Sergio Garcia. I also kind of like Lee Westwood. Toss them in a trifecta with Ian Poulter, who I also just tried with little success at the U.S. Open.

What, no token American?

Good luck, and see you at the PGA next month.

PHIL MICKELSON REACTS AFTER PLAYING A SHOT on the 17th fairway during a practice round Wednesday for the British Open. The U.S. hasn’t won a major since Mickelson won the Masters in 2010. rankings, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood.

The Americans?

Just an afterthought on the eve of the opening round.

“In the grand scheme of things, it’s not such a big deal.

In 40 years time, it will look like a blip,” said Padraig Harrington of Ireland, a threetime major winner. “But when you look at the smaller picture, it’s easy to say that Europe has become dominant in golf — until you remember that two of those majors were won by South Africans.

They’re a strong country, too.

And I think the next few majors might be won by the Australians.”

As in many sports, from basketball to tennis to swimming, the rest of the world has sliced into America’s oncecommanding position. Golf is no different, with 24 nations represented at this seaside course in southern England.

Some of them, it would seem, have only tapped into their potential.

“Certainly we all expect that in the next couple of decades, Asia is going to have a very strong presence in the

game of golf,” Mickelson said.

But for all the talk about this being more about the rest of the world catching up than the Americans falling off, it’s clear the most recent generation of U.S. golfers has yet to fulfill its potential.

Remember all the fresh young faces on the team that stunned Europe in the 2008 Ryder Cup, 20-somethings such as Anthony Kim and Hunter Mahan and J.B. Holmes? None of them has broken through in a major, and Kim might be the most mystifying of all.

Tapped to be the next great American player, Kim has yet to recapture his swing since thumb surgery and only got into the British Open as an alternate.

Another batch of youngsters has shown potential, led by 27-year-old Dustin Johnson.

He was leading by three strokes going to the final round of last year’s U.S. Open, but an 82 opened the door for McDowell’s win. At the final major of 2010, Johnson missed out on a playoff at the PGA Championship when assessed a two-stroke penalty for not realizing he was in a bunker when he grounded his club.

Kaymer went on to beat another American, Bubba Watson.

“We’ve got a lot of great

young players coming up,” said Ben Curtis, who won the last British Open played at Royal St. George’s in 2003. “A few of them just need a little bit more experience.”

Only one other time since the Masters began in 1934 have the Americans gone even four straight majors without a win. That was 1994, when the Americans were shut out by Zimbabwe’s Nick Price (British Open, PGA Championship), South Africa’s Ernie Els (U.S. Open) and Spain’s Jose Maria Olazabal (Spain).

That year capped another glorious era for golfers beyond America’s shores.

Over a five-year span beginning in 1990, non-U.S. golfers won 13 out of 20 majors.

All over the world, there were impressionable youngsters who would mature into today’s champions.

“When you grow up watching guys from your country win majors, it’s reasonable to believe that you can win majors when you grow up,” Harrington said.

These days, the most hyped of the young Americans is 22year-old Rickie Fowler, who already has played in the Ryder Cup and was the PGA Tour’s rookie of the year in 2010.

But he’s yet to win on Tour and hasn’t finished higher than 14th in a major.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Ohio State players left to live with sanctions COLUMBUS, OHIO (AP) — Ohio State’s players say they are resigned to make the best of the school’s self-imposed penalties, no matter how hurt or angry some may feel.

“There’s nothing we can really do about that,” offensive lineman J.B. Shugarts said after a conditioning workout this week. “The university decided to make that call.

We’ve got to accept it.”

Athletic director Gene Smith announced Friday that the university would vacate the 2010 season, including the Sugar Bowl victory. It also selfimposed a two-year NCAA probation, in addition to suspending six players for the first five games and accepting the resignation of coach Jim Tressel. All the sanctions resulted from a cash-formemorabilia scandal that has rocked the program for the past eight months.

The next big date is Aug. 12, when Ohio State meets with the NCAA’s committee on infractions. That committee could accept the penalties Ohio State placed on itself or could pile on recruiting restrictions, bowl bans, return of bowl money and other stiffer sanctions.

Left in the wake of the uncertainty are the players who didn’t do anything wrong but who are left to make the best of the situation.

Tight end Jake Stoneburner has come to terms with the fact that, officially at least, the 12-1 season a year ago never happened in the eyes of the NCAA or Ohio State’s record book.

“It hurts a little bit because I was a part of that. I was out there sweating, bleeding and trying to get those wins,” he said. “If that’s what they’ve

AUBURN STILL UNDER NCAA INVESTIGATION An NCAA official told Auburn coach Gene Chizik that it is not done investigating the Tigers’ football program and the recruitment of Cam Newton, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

Chizik asked NCAA vice president for enforcement Julie Roe Lach several questions, including why the NCAA had not announced that the Newton got to do, we have to move on and try to repeat them (wins) this season. The films are there and everyone saw what happened. Everyone knows what happened in the 2010 season.”

Among the games erased from the books is Ohio State’s seventh straight win over archrival Michigan.

Vacating that game is asking a lot, said senior linebacker Tony Jackson.

“If you say of the Michigan game, ‘You didn’t win’ — you and I can look eye-to-eye and know what happened that day,” he said of the 37-7 win.

It’s the uncertainty of possible additional penalties that makes it even harder to focus on the fast-approaching season.

“As long as we know what we have to deal with right now until the NCAA (decision) comes, that gives us a little bit of relief,” Stoneburner said.

Defensive back Tyler Moeller has missed most of the past two seasons. He suffered a severe brain injury when he was assaulted at a Florida bar while on vacation with his family. That cost him all of the 2009 season.

investigation was finished, during a presentation at the Southeastern Conference meetings in Destin, Fla., last month.

“You’ll know when we’re finished,” Roe Lach told Chizik, according to several coaches who were at the meeting, the Times reported. “And we’re not finished.”

— The Associated Press

A year ago, he stunned many of his doctors when he recovered enough — he’d been told he would never play again — to return to the Buckeyes. But just a few games into the season he tore a chest muscle, which again put a premature end to his senior season. Now he’s been granted a sixth season of eligibility. He hopes to be one of the elder statesmen on the team, showing the way to brighter days.

He said that, just as in years past, the Buckeyes are still setting their sights on national and Big Ten championships.

“What people forget is we’re Ohio State. We all came here to win,” he said. “One person or one coach doesn’t define our team. We’re still talking about the same things but maybe with a little more intensity about it.”

Shugarts said the almost daily controversies surrounding the program have brought the players closer.

If the NCAA comes down even harder on the Buckeyes, that unity will help them cope.

“Whatever happens, happens,” he said. “We just have to be strong as a team.”

ing to help him, he seems to have given up hope. I think he has unresolved mental health issues.

I have tried contacting his former counselor and even urged him to go to a priest.

Friends tell me I am “enabling” him by letting him stay, but I don’t want him on the streets. What can I do? — Up a Creek

A summer night of network repeats, reality shows and new cable series all but guarantees small audiences. It’s little surprise that networks’ most popular series is the claustrophobic “Big Brother” (8 p.m., CBS). It drew nearly 8 million viewers last week. Over on cable you’d think the everpopular “Burn Notice” (8 p.m., USA) would be tops. And you’d be right. But the cable series that attracts the most viewers among those aged 18 to 49 is History’s “Swamp People.” Go figure.

The success of documentary series puts pressure on expensively made scripted fare to perform. While a repeat of a wellestablished show like CBS’s “The Mentalist” can still rank among the night’s most watched, NBC’s fledgling anthology comedy “Love Bites” attracted fewer than three-quarters of a million viewers aged 18 to 49 last week. To put it in perspective, that’s barely larger than the audience for “Louie” on FX and half the 18 to 49 audience for “Swamp People.” ● Turner Classic Movies continues its month-long Thursday night glance at the Hollywood treatment of Arab themes, settings and characters. While some movies depicted Arabs as decadent and evil, others wrapped dismissive cultural condescension in silly gags. Tonight’s festival features films from some of comedy’s biggest names and most durable franchises, including Bing Crosby in “Road to Morocco” (9 p.m.), “Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy” (10:45 p.m.) and the 1957 Jerry Lewis comedy “The Sad Sack” (1:30 a.m.). It concludes with “Bowery to Baghdad” (2:30 a.m.), starring the Bowery Boys. ● There was a time, well before “The Sopranos,” “Larry Sanders” or even “Dream On,” when HBO programming seemed to consist of comedy specials, boxing and endless repeats of the 1987 Goldie Hawn /Kurt Russell comedy “Overboard” (7:30 p.m., ABC Family). It was the “Pretty Woman” of its time: a movie that was always on television because, presumably, it always found an audience. P.S. If you want to see “Pretty Woman,” you’ll have to wait until Saturday, when it’s on (again) on Bravo at 7 p.m.!

Tonight’s other highlights ● Two must go home after tonight’s “So You Think You Can Dance” (7 p.m., Fox). ● “Titans” (8 p.m., CNBC) profiles the founder of Southwest Airlines. ● A hidden computer holds evidence that can clear Barry’s brother on “Burn Notice” (8 p.m., USA). ● Questions of maturity on “Love Bites” (9 p.m., NBC). ● Fires and explosions on “Rookie Blue” (9 p.m., ABC). ● “True Life: I’m a Sugar Baby” (9 p.m., MTV) interviews young people who become paid friends and companions. ● Harvey defends a client linked to Jessica’s past on “Suits” (9 p.m., USA). ● Doggy day care on “Wilfred” (9 p.m., FX). ● Louie faces a rough night in Atlantic City on “Louie” (9:30 p.m., FX).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, July 14: This year, you juggle your emotions and your thoughts, often wondering which voice to listen to.

You will discover which way to go and how to simplify your life. Relationships have a volatile but exciting tone, whether single or attached. You might not want to make a major commitment this year. If you are attached, you will learn to juggle your and your sweetie's different concerns and needs. Capricorn can be challenging and sometimes withdrawn.

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 could be pushed to the max by an associate or partner. You do have your hands full, but so does everyone else.

Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Keep reaching out for more information, especially if you don't like what you are hearing.

Know that there is another solution, even if you aren't sure what it is. Tonight: Take in new vistas.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ Deal with a part-

ner directly, knowing full well what you want and expect from a situation.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Realize what is stopping you from relating to a key person. You could be overwhelmed and questioning what you are doing.

Tonight: Go with another person's suggestion.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ You could be overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done, and you only have so much energy. Establish boundaries. Tonight: Easy works.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Your creativity surges, allowing more flex than you have had in a long time. You want to deal with a situation differently.

Tonight: Juggling favorite friends and loved ones.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ Your current fatigue could be getting the best of you, causing a situation to be distorted.

Take your time understanding why you are doing this. Tonight: Consider heading home and screening your calls.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ How you deal with someone you care about in the present confusion could define your relationship in the near future.

Tonight: Make important calls.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★★ Be aware of the financial implications of what is happening. Then you will make a good decision, no matter what goes down. Tonight: Help a dear friend loosen up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ The Full Moon today puts the spotlight on you. You could have your hands full juggling different concerns — essentially, relationships. Tonight: Finally, it is your decision.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★ Retreating and not getting involved in a situation — which, at best, is difficult — is smart. Listen to what is being shared by a co-worker or someone in your daily life. Tonight: Not available.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ You could be surprised by how a longterm goal or desire heads in from out of left field. A partner might not be as accepting or as excited as you are. Tonight: Where your friends are. Celebrate.

D e a r A n n i e : My best friend, “Bob,” has struggled with alcoholism for many years, and has been in and out of rehabilitation programs. Two years ago, he found a prog ram that worked. He went into a men’s halfway house, where he received counseling, attended A.A. meetings and got a job. After 18 months, he was promoted and even set a goal of becoming an addiction counselor.

Bob seemed on top of the world until two weeks ago, when he started drinking again. He was kicked out of his residence and is now staying with me. He may also have lost his job. His employers are willing to give him another chance, but he refuses to call them. He is now drunk or sleeping all the time, spending whatever money is left in his bank account.

This situation is not new. I have put up with it before. If I kick him out, he may end up passed out in an alley, a hospital, jail or worse. At least he is safe here, but I can’t do this forever. The local detox center offers emergency protective custody, but all they can do is hold him until he is sober.
