Harry Potter fans young and old came in costume by the hundreds to Southwind 12 theaters in south Lawrence to catch one last glimpse of the wizard’s fantasy world.

They were biding their time in the theaters at 3433 Iowa an hour before the midnight showings of “Harry Potter and the Deathly

Hallows: Part 2” began.

People were playing cards, watching the old movies on laptops and enjoying being around other fans.

“I’m from Ravenclaw,” said John Stephan, 21, of Lawrence, showing off the blue on his tie peeking out above his wizarding robe to prove it.

“And she’s from Gryffindor,” he said pointing to his girlfriend, Kate Steir, 21.

“I’ve been reading the books since the third grade,” Steir said.

“It’s something I feel like I can really share with a lot of people.”

And as for the movie theater staff trying to deal with enough customers to sell out seven screenings of the film?

“Hectic. Crazy. Happy to see everyone,” said a hurried Jon Ratzlaff, the theater’s manager, who was back behind the concession stand dumping ice into soda machines with his staff.

But unlike many others at the theater at midnight, Vauncele was particularly excited to see this last movie because she hadn’t read the books.

Lawrence SRS supporters focus on building’s lease as possible means of preventing closure

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — Supporters of keeping open the Lawrence off ice of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services said Thursday the building’s lease with the state may help their efforts.

A provision in the lease between SRS and Lawrence developer and property owner Duane Schwada’s Venture Realty Corp. for two buildings at 19th and Delaware streets states that SRS “shall use its best efforts to obtain annual appropriations to satisfy its obligations under this lease.”

“I think this puts an affirmative obligation on them (SRS) to provide for the money in their budget,” said House

Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence.

Local leaders are searching for ways to reverse the decision

by SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. to close the Lawrence office.

Siedlecki Siedlecki has said that the state budget approved by the Legislature and Gov. Sam Brownback calls for $42 million in cuts to SRS, including $1 million in administrative expenses.

On July 1, Siedlecki announced his intention to shut down nine offices, including the one in Lawrence, which serves thousands of people and employs 87. The Lawrence office was,

by far, the largest on the closure list.

Community meetings on the issue have drawn hundreds of people, and more events are scheduled, including a rally at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at South Park.

Siedlecki has said closing the Lawrence office will save the state $413,385, which includes $331,875 in rent. He and Brownback have said that people using SRS in Lawrence can travel to nearby cities, such as Topeka, Overland Park and Ottawa, or use the Internet. Social service advocates and law enforcement officials have said that is not realistic and the closure will disrupt assistance for many vulnerable residents.

Lawrence police were searching Thursday afternoon for a man who robbed Central National Bank, 603 W. Ninth St., and ran south on Louisiana Street.

Officers were called to the bank at 3:25 p.m. Thursday after witnesses inside the bank reported a man entered the building from the south, went to the lobby and demanded money from some tellers.

Lawrence police are working to determine the events and cir- Suspect cumstances surrounding the robbery with investigators from the FBI, which is common in bank robberies. Bridget Patton, an FBI spokeswoman, said that the man left with an undisclosed amount of cash.

“He had his right hand in his pocket, indicating a weapon.

However, no weapon was shown,” Patton said.

Officers and detectives were canvassing the area south of the bank Thursday afternoon, and detectives were at the crime scene collecting evidence and working to examine surveillance video.

Police described the suspect as a white male, in his mid-20s, about six feet tall, with brown hair, wearing a green cap, blue jeans and a black zip-up coat.

Later in the evening, police released photos of the suspect.

Lawrence Police Sgt. Matt Sarna said officers were unsure if a vehicle was involved in the robbery.

“We have no witnesses at this time who saw any type of vehicle,” he said.

No injuries were reported.

“If people do get robbed by someone wanting cash, we ask them to give them the money a n d g ive i n to a l l o f t h e demands that they ask,” Sarna said.

He said police also ask businesses to immediately lock their doors afterward and try to give the best description of the suspect they can.

Anyone with information in the case is asked to call Lawrence police at 785-8327560 or Douglas County Crime Stoppers at 785-843-TIPS (8477).

Johnson Co. commissioners propose cable barrier project

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

EUDORA — Members of the Johnson County Commission on Thursday proposed a pilot project to install cable-median barriers along Kansas Highway 10 in two spots between Lawrence east to Lenexa.

Commissioner Jim Allen, of Shawnee, said the proposal includes the state installing two miles of cable near K-10 and Kansas Highway 7 in Johnson County and for a one-mile stretch near Eudora, after two residents, including 5-year-old Cainan Shutt, were killed in an April 16 crossmedian crash there.

“Our residents are concerned about this and want us to come up with some type of solution,” said Allen, who is also a member of an area group studying K-10’s safety with the Kansas Department of Transportation in the wake of the April crash.

The Johnson County proposal estimates the two-mile stretch of cable in Johnson County would cost $250,000 and $125,000 in Douglas County. Allen said Johnson County would seek to provide the state 20 percent of the funds for the Johnson County stretch.

Gov. Sam Brownback ordered KDOT officials to work with Johnson County and Douglas County residents and officials to study whether to install cablemedian barriers on K-10, although KDOT would make the final decision. KDOT said in a 2008 study that K-10 did not meet a threshold to install cable-median barriers based

on traffic counts and the highway’s median width.

Advocates for the cable say K-10 has become dangerous for the number of cross-median crashes at high speeds. In May, KDOT officials said K-10 had 11 fatalities resulting from 10 cross-median crashes since 2000, compared with 104 fatalities from 89 cross-median crashes on all Kansas fourlane highways.

Dean Sicking, a University of Nebraska civil engineering professor who conducted the 2008 study, said cable-median barriers are “not a panacea” and still can cause deaths and injuries. He urged the committee to study the two spots targeted for the pilot project proposal.

“It has to be based on reality and based on engineering principles,” said Sicking, who spoke to the study group Thursday, “so that we can be reasonably sure that when we do go out and spend money to make the highway safer, we do make it safer. That’s the ultimate goal.”

Allen said the two sections identified as part of the pilot study do warrant a cablemedian barrier because more than one cross-median fatality accident have occurred in those two spots since 2000.

“We want to see something happen immediately, and to me at least to do something incrementally and address at least where we know we have a high-impact fatality area,” Allen said.

The study group will meet again next month.

Missouri flooding brings ultra marathon canoe race to Kansas River

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Lawrence’s boat ramps are often the launching point for canoe races down the Kansas River. But rarely is the city the final destination for competitive paddlers.

On July 23, that will change as more than 100 canoeists are expected to arrive at Riverfront Park on the last leg of a 94-mile journey from Manhattan to Lawrence.

Dubbed the Kawnivore 100, the race was pulled together after it became clear to the race’s organizer, RiverMiles, that continued flooding along the Missouri River was going to make the Missouri 340 undoable.

Originally scheduled to begin Tuesday, the Missouri 340 is an annual three-day endurance canoe race that starts at Kaw Point in Kansas City, Kan., and takes paddlers 340 miles east to St. Charles, Mo. High water has forced the race to be postponed until September, but race director Scott Mansker with RiverMiles wanted to give those who signed up an alternative.

So the Kawnivore 100 was born.

“The Kaw is a great race course,” Mansker said. “It’s a very, very challenging river for a lot of different reasons.”

Among the obstacles racers will face are paddling in the dark of night, sand bars

that stick in low water levels and navigating around two dams.

Mansker envisions the Kawnivore 100 evolving into an annual event and a precursor to the Missouri 340.

“It will be a good shakedown run to see if you are ready for it,” Mansker said.

Kansas Riverkeeper Laura Calwell, with Friends of the Kaw, believes the race will provide an opportunity to introduce paddlers to rarely traveled stretches of the river.

“Manhattan to Topeka is the least paddled section of the Kansas River because it has very little access,” she said. “We’re happy that that part of the river is part of the race.”

Both Friends of the Kaw and RiverMiles have a longterm goal of turning river recreational enthusiasts into river conservationists. And the race is a chance to remind people that the Kaw can be a recreational wonderland.

“We literally have put thousands of athletes on the Missouri River who would have never touched it,” Mansker said. “Now they are very vocal and active in pro-river politics. They are more motivated to protect and care for

An updated accident report from the Kansas Highway Patrol includes drug test results for Ryan Pittman, the Eudora man who was driving an eastbound car April 16 that drifted across the median of Kansas Highway 10 near the Church Street exit and collided with a westbound minivan.

Pittman and 5-year-old Cainan Shutt, of Eudora, both died in the crash that also injured Shutt’s 2-year-old sister, Courtlynn, and Shutt’s grandparents, Danny and Ann Basel.

A toxicology report signed

by Deputy Coroner Dr. Donald Pojman indicates Pittman tested positive for a therapeutic level of methadone, an elevated level of tramadol and the active components of marijuana.

“The report further states that all three of these drugs can cause physical and cognitive impairment,” according to the KHP report.

Troopers earlier had said the drugs would have caused Pittman’s response time to be slow. Troopers also listed Pittman’s inattentive driving and driving on a suspended license as contributing factors. Pittman’s autopsy report summary also indicated “there was no natural disease process that would have contributed to this accident.”

Danny Basel, who drove the minivan, had no alcohol in his system, according to the report.

it after they have experienced it.”

So far, almost 120 canoeists have registered for the race.

Athletes from as far away as Texas and Florida are expected to compete.

The Kawnivore starts July 22 at 5:30 p.m. in Manhattan.

The athletes will race through the night. By daylight, the racers are expected to arrive in Topeka, where they will have to navigate around a dam and old railroad bridges.

By 11 a.m. Saturday, racers should start arriving in Lawrence and will continue coming until about 8 p.m., which is the cutoff for the race.

People are encouraged to cheer on the f inishers at Riverfront Park, which is at the intersection of North Second Street and U.S. Highways 24 and 40. At the finish, Free State Brewery will have a beer tent and the Friends of the Kaw will be cooking burgers and brats.

“The more the merrier,” Mansker said. “Spectators always have a good time.”

For those brave enough to compete, it’s not too late to register. And for the less courageous, volunteers are still needed. For more information, go to RiverMiles.com or the Friends of the Kaw website, kansasriver.org.

Jonathan Kissam talked about the grass-roots movement in Vermont that led to passage of a publicly financed health care system.

Kissam, of the Vermont Workers’ Center, said there were three keys: ● Mass organizing. They talked to lots of people and engaged them in the conversation. They had them sign petitions and involved them in rallies and campaigns. ● Leadership development. They provided classes and education to help give working-class people the confidence to engage in politics. ● Vision. They looked beyond the politics and focused on what people care about the most, and that’s each other. Most people don’t want to see others suffer.

At least 40 people, including local doctors, attended Kissam’s presentation Thursday night at Lawrence Public Library, 747 Vt. Kissam, a Lawrence High School graduate, said the Vermont Workers’ Center is an organization dedicated to fighting for workers’ rights and living wages.

He said it got involved in the movement for a universal health care system because the issue came up time and again. Employers were choosing between better wages or health insurance. School districts had to choose between providing better health benefits or closing schools.

Kissam showed a 10minute video of the center’s “Health Care Is A Human Right” campaign.

It showed a nurse stringing lots of paper across a legislative room indicating all of the paperwork that’s involved in the current system, which drew some chuckles from the audience.

A nurse talks about a diabetes patient who has a sore on his foot but can’t afford to go to the doctor, leading to amputation. Another woman chooses food over medical care.

“Our goal is to have a universal health care system where people don’t have to suffer because they don’t have money or they don’t have insurance, where health care is respected as a human right and a public good just like edu-

In a meeting with reporters on Monday, Siedlecki and his top staff said they were confident they would be able to terminate the lease for the Lawrence SRS office. They said they want to work with local leaders to see if there is a possibility for free office space for a small number of SRS employees.

“We want to make sure it is an orderly process,” Siedlecki said.

cation, roads, fire and police protection,” Kissam said.

He said one woman shared her story of staying with her abusive husband for 22 years because he had insurance.

They had a daughter with leukemia and he threatened to cut off the insurance for both of them if she left.

Those stories were shared with lawmakers, and there were rallies at the Statehouse.

Soon, legislators took notice.

He said Peter Shumlin decided to run for governor on the health care issue and won.

In May, Shumlin signed a law that 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. It’s scheduled to begin in 2017, and is expected to save the state about $500 million per year.

Kissum said there’s still two key areas that need to be worked out: ● How it will be financed.

He said it likely will be paid for through broad-based taxes. ● What benefits will be included.

Kissam thinks the law will stick because it has support across the state and doesn’t cut along political party lines.

“I think it’s good. I think the momentum is with us,” he said.

funds necessary for Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, and shall use its best efforts to obtain annual appropriations to satisfy its obligations under this Lease.”

Davis said SRS has discretionary spending that could, and should, be allocated to fulfilling its contracts, including this one.

Another provision that was added to the lease in December 2008 states: “Subject to termination for fiscal necessity, four years of occupancy are guaranteed. The Lessee may terminate this lease upon the giving of 180 days notice in writing to the Lessor, after the end of the four year guaranteed lease period.”

Green from the ground up

$500K donated for library expansion

Deal to end shutdown reached Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton and top Republicans agreed Thursday to end a budget impasse that prompted the longest state government shutdown in recent history, after the Democratic governor surrendered on raising taxes.

Dayton said the state government would be back in business “very soon,” but he didn’t say exactly when.

The deal to erase a $5 billion deficit came after a big sacrifice from Dayton, who made new income taxes a central campaign message last year and the centerpiece of his budget. He dropped that and said he would accept — with conditions — an offer the GOP put forward on the eve of the shutdown to bring about $1.4 billion into the budget by delaying payments to schools and selling tobacco payment bonds.

Republicans agreed to his conditions, which included relinquishing a list of policy changes such as banning state aid for stem cell research and a plan to cut the state workforce by 15 percent.

They conceded to higher state spending than they had wanted. Republican lawmakers spent months insisting that the two-year budget be capped at $34 billion, the amount the state was projected to collect without new sources of money. Instead, it will be closer to $35.4 billion.

Possible compromise in debt talks With time growing short and warnings more dire, the first, fragile signs emerged Thursday of a possible compromise to raise the nation’s debt limit and avert a potentially catastrophic default on Aug. 2.

Under a plan discussed by the Senate’s top two leaders, President Barack Obama would receive enhanced authority to raise the debt ceiling at the same time procedures would be set in motion that could lead to federal spending cuts.

Word that Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky were at work on the fallback plan came as Obama and congressional leaders held a fifth straight day of debt-crisis talks at the White House.

McConnell pronounced the session a good one.

“We’re going to continue to discuss a way forward over the next couple of days and see what happens,” he said.

Obama was having his say today, scheduling his second White House news conference of the week.

House Republicans and Democrats scheduled closed-door meetings of the rank and file to review the spending cuts and tax increases proposed by one side or the other so far.

Pentagon discloses large cyber theft The Pentagon on Thursday revealed that in the spring it suffered one of its largest losses ever of sensitive data in a cyberattack by a foreign government. It’s a dramatic example of why the military is pursuing a new strategy emphasizing deeper defenses of its computer networks, collaboration with private industry and new steps to stop “malicious insiders.”

William Lynn, the deputy secretary of defense, said in a speech outlining the strategy that 24,000 files containing Pentagon data were stolen from a defense industry computer network in a single intrusion in March. He offered no details about what was taken but in an interview before the speech he said the Pentagon believes the attacker was a foreign government. He didn’t say which nation.

“We have a pretty good idea” who did it, Lynn said the interview. He would not elaborate.

Many cyberattacks in the past have been blamed on China or Russia. One of the Pentagon’s fears is that eventually a terrorist group, with less at stake than a foreign government, will acquire the ability to not only penetrate U.S. computer networks to steal data but to attack them in ways that damage U.S. defenses or even cause deaths.

FBI opens review of hacking allegations Rupert Murdoch and his son James first refused, then agreed Thursday to appear before U.K. lawmakers investigating phone hacking and police bribery, while in the U.S., the FBI opened a review into allegations the Murdoch media empire sought to hack into the phones of Sept. 11 victims.

Those two developments — and the arrest of another former editor of a Murdoch tabloid — deepened the crisis for News Corp., which has seen its stock price sink as investors ask whether the scandal could drag down the whole company.

Murdoch defended News Corp.’s handling of the scandal, saying it will recover from any damage caused by the phone-hacking and police bribery allegations. The 80-year-old told The Wall Street Journal — which is owned by News Corp. — that he is “just getting annoyed” at all the recent negative press.

He also dismissed reports he would sell his U.K. newspapers to stem the scandal, calling the suggestion “pure and total rubbish.”

A law enforcement official in New York said the FBI was looking into allegations that employees of News Corp. tried to hack into the telephones of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.

New design soon to be unveiled

A new look and new money both are on tap for an $18 million expansion of the Lawrence Public Library.

The library’s chief fundraiser conf irmed that more than $500,000 in private donations have been raised to help pay for portions of the library expansion, and the public soon will get a look at a new design for the exterior of the downtown building.

“Everything is starting to take shape,” said Kathleen Morgan, executive director of the Lawrence Public Library Foundation.

On the financial side, Morgan said, the group is more than halfway to its goal of raising $1 million for the expansion. City voters last year approved $18 million in bonds to fund the expansion, but the library foundation committed to raise additional money to provide extra resources for the library’s children’s room, teen area, technology upgrades and an outdoor plaza.

Morgan said a “quiet phase” of fundraising began five months ago, and thus far 70 donors have contributed to the project. She said a communitywide fundraising drive likely will kick off in the fall.

Fundraising efforts received a boost from the state. The Kansas Department of Commerce has awarded the foundation $222,000 in state tax credits. The tax credits — which reduce the state income tax liability of donors — will be made available to donors who contribute more than $1,000 to the project. The donors receive a tax credit equal to 50 percent of their donation.

The credits will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis, Morgan said.

“It has come along really well,” Morgan said of fundraising.

“There is a lot of potential out there. I have always said that the

ALLISON PINKERTON, A RECENT GRADUATE of the masters program for architecture, Grandview, Mo., sweeps the steel plate floor in front of the “living wall,” which is composed of various types of ferns, at the Center for Design Research. An open house for the new building is Saturday.

Nearly-complete KU building to show off sustainable design

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

From cladding a wall to sweeping up construction dust, Kansas University architecture graduates were in an all-out hustle Thursday afternoon as they drew closer to the completion of the Center for Design Research building.

The students, who all graduated in May and were part of the year-long architecture course known as Studio 804, were preparing for Saturday’s open house, which will unveil a building like no other in the state.

“This is about as over-thetop as it can get for me,” Studio 804 professor Dan Rockhill said.

Located on KU’s West Campus, the elongated building covered in reclaimed limestone is integrated into the 80year-old farmhouse and barn that was once part of the Chamney family dairy farm.

The building is intended to transform the space into a showcase of sustainable design and green technology and provide a location for meetings, conferences and classes.

“It has been fun, but a lot of hard work. We have gone through a lot of pain,” said Allison Pinkerton, who is a thirdyear architecture masters student who graduated in May but remained at KU to finish the

project. “It is really awesome to just see it come together.”

The group started researching and designing the building in August.

Ground broke Feb. 10, a day that saw a record low of -12 degrees. To start work on the foundation, the group had to push the snow away.

That’s compared with this week, when the finishing work

At 10 a.m. Saturday, Studio 804 and the Kansas University Center for Design Research will hold an open house for the newly constructed building at 2455 Westbrooke Circle on KU’s West Campus. Along with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the open house will include students and faculty who will be on hand to discuss the building’s many sustainable features.

‘She’s a keeper’: Formerly homeless couple weds

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Though the wedding ceremony may have seemed simple to those driving by, the bride and groom and witnesses said it was anything but.

Bill Lietz was the groom, getting married on his 56th birthday. His bride, Cora Williams (now Cora Lietz), greeted him at a shelter in Holcom Park in Lawrence, where the ceremony took place.

They’ve been through a lot, they said. They met in Topeka about five years ago, when both were homeless. They lived in Lawrence together, after Cora followed Bill to live in the Lawrence shelter.

“I didn’t think she’d last two

weeks, but she stuck it out, so she’s a keeper,” he said.

Shelter life is a hard life, he said — going around from the park to the library during the day, and back to the shelter at night, with only a small sack of belongings.

Life got better for the couple, though. Cora now has a job at Goodwill, 2200 W. 31st St. She’s done so well that she’s advanced to a supervisory position. They have their own apartment now.

Bill doesn’t work, but he does the domestic chores, takes care of their dog and runs errands.

A co-worker at Goodwill remembered how Bill would take the couple’s car, run some errands, and leave it for Cora at Goodwill and walk home so she could drive it back herself.

“Whatever part I’m not, he

is,” Cora said.

The pastor, the Rev. Donald Parker, met the couple through Goodwill, and several of Cora’s Goodwill co-workers witnessed the wedding.

“Cora’s just a sweet person,” said Ashley Hinrichs, who hangs

clothes at Goodwill. “I speak for us all when I say we definitely wish them the best that life can give.”

BRIEFLY A woman who had been set to enter her sophomore year at Kansas University died early Thursday morning at a nightclub in Kansas City, Mo. Hallie Steele, of Lenexa, died after collapsing during a concert at The Beaumont Club in Westport.

According to her Facebook page, she was 19.

Steele Police were dispatched to the club at 1:18 a.m. on a medical call, said Sgt. Stacey Graves, a spokeswoman for the Kansas City Police Department. Steele was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

An investigation continues, Graves said, and a cause of death will not be determined until after an autopsy is complete.

“It’s not being investigated as a homicide,” Graves said.

Steele was a cast member on Channel 6’s “The Not So Late Show.” Her photo was provided by 6Lawrence.com.

TOPEKA — Gov. Sam Brownback plans to appoint a committee to advise him on the state’s role in bringing a new biosecurity lab in Manhattan.

Brownback has scheduled a news conference for today in Shawnee to sign an executive order forming the committee.

The governor’s office Brownback said in a news release that the committee will help Brownback with the state’s role in the building of the National Bio and AgroDefense Facility in Manhattan.

It also will help with moving research projects from the current laboratory in Plum Island, N.Y. The new plant is scheduled to be fully operational in 2018.

Research at the facility will focus on animal disease and agro-terrorism.

Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene Jones-Sontag said state and federal legislators and representatives would be part of the committee.

A turn for the better

Ex-A.G.’s bid to appeals court remains in limbo

hour workdays, six days a week.

“A long haul” is how Pinkerton described the past couple of months — but one that was worth it.

“When we get done, we are all going to be relieved and want to celebrate,” she said.

Nearly every facet of the building is linked somehow to sustainable design.

Among the most impressive features is a 30-foot-by12-foot interior wall covered by more than 10,000 fern.

Known as a living wall, it is intended to improve the air quality inside the building and use gray water from the site.

“I hope people realize it is a fun space to be in. It is not a space you are supposed to be bored in,” recent graduate John Myers said. “It’s a building for learning.”

The building also has a wind turbine, solar panels, an electric-vehicle charging station and plants on the rooftop to soak up rain and insulate

library is an easy sell.”

Coming up with an appealing exterior design of the project is taking more time. Several renderings were presented to voters during last year’s campaign, but Morgan said architects at Gould Evans are making major modifications to those renderings after getting feedback from the public.

“The actual look has been changed pretty significantly,” Morgan said.

The library is planning a public unveiling of the new design at an event in late July or early August, Morgan said.

Morgan, though, did offer a few details. They included: ● Changes have been made to address concerns that there wasn’t a good entrance for pedestrians who are coming from west of the library.

“They have reconfigured it so you don’t have to walk through the parking lot to get to the front door,” Morgan said. ● Plans for the parking garage no longer call for the garage to stretch from north to south. Now the garage’s long edges stretch from east to west. In other words, designers have rotated the orientation of the garage from previous renderings. ● The parking garage changes have created an open space between the parking garage and the library. That area is now being designed as a public plaza.

JUSTIN MCGEENEY, A RECENT GRADUATE of the masters program for architecture from Ames, Iowa, slides a glass panel to reveal what he calls “the brains of the building” Thursday at the Center for Design Research. McGeeney explained that this is where energy levels produced by the wind turbine and also the solar panels are monitored. the building.

The south-facing side of the building is lined with smart glass, which self-tints as the sun shines on it. Behind the glass is a Trombe wall, which will capture the sun’s heat on cold winter days and then release that heat at night.

Inside the building is a touch-screen display that monitors the building’s energy inputs and outputs. It also

has information on 24 of the building’s green features.

“I would like the public … to have an opportunity to come here and look at these things and think about how they could change their own lives as well, implementing some of these very simple ideas,” Rockhill said.

“We think it will almost be like a pocket park,” Morgan said.

The area will be sloped, following the natural terrain of the ground, from a high point at Vermont Street to a low point at Kentucky Street.

Morgan said that may make the area ideal for hosting outdoor movies and other performances. Morgan confirmed there also has been talk of moving the Lawrence Farmers Market to the plaza area, although no decision has yet been made. Library leaders also are working on new type of outdoor programming that the library could offer.

Morgan said designers

aren’t yet finished working through all issues. For example, determining whether the project will include some sort of covered walkway between the parking garage and the library entrance is still being studied.

The design of the building ultimately will be presented to city commissioners for approval. Plans call for construction to start on the expansion in 2012 and for it to be completed in 2013. The library will remain open during the project.

WICHITA — Former Kansas Attorney General Steve Six’s nomination to the federal appeals court remains in limbo.

The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee was scheduled to vote Thursday to advance Six’s nomination to the full Senate but the vote was not held.

Six’s nomination has Six been stalled in committee since his two Republican home state senators announced they would oppose his confirmation to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

His nomination has been opposed by anti-abortion groups.

More than two dozen state attorneys general, both Democrats and Republicans, recently signed a letter supporting his nomination.

The former federal judge he would replace on the appeals court bench, Deanell Tacha, also wrote a letter saying Six is qualified to be “a judge of great distinction” at the Denverbased court.

Cooling centers open throughout Kansas TOPEKA — With temperatures approaching triple digits, Kansas health officials are reminding residents that cooling centers have been designated throughout the state.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and Kansas Department of Aging say libraries, churches or grocery stores can be used as cooling centers. County officials can provide more details.

Health officials say that when soaring temperatures lead to excessive heat warnings, people should check on neighbors, the elderly and family members.

KDHE secretary Robert Moser says the risks heat exhaustion or heat stroke can be minimized and eliminated by taking precautions.

The departments are urging people to stay in air-conditioned settings as much as possible. Those heading outdoors are encouraged to seek some shade, wear sunscreen and drink lots of water.

Surgery CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

handful of prescriptions, including one for shots. For 10 days, I had to give myself one shot to prevent blood clots.

I wasn’t sure if I was brave enough to give myself a shot, but the nurse showed me how. I had to make sure the air bubbles were out of the syringe, then I had to clean a small area on my belly, pinch the skin together, and poke myself. It wasn’t as bad as I thought.

I also had restrictions, among them: No driving or bending more than 90 degrees at the waist until my follow-up doctor’s appointment in four weeks, and no showering for at least a week.

These were to prevent dislocation and infection. ●●●

The typical recovery time after hip replacement is two months; for knees, three to six months. That’s for the average-aged patient, which at KU Hospital is 62. Its youngest patient so far was 21 and its oldest was 92.

Of course, I’m atypical because of my age and good health. That’s why my doctors and physical therapists said I was recovering faster than most. My recovery took about one month.

Before the surgery, even though I was in pain, I remained active. I walked three miles almost daily on a treadmill — my hands would get numb from holding up so much of my weight — and I biked.

Jeremy Zimney, a physical therapist at OrthoKansas in Lawrence, said doctors will prescribe prehabilitation for certain patients before surgery. Often that means exercises in water.

“We do see some of that, but it’s not common,” Zimney said. “Typically, it’s if there is a severe range of motion loss or if there are cardiac issues that may put them at risk.”

He estimated that one out of 25 clients may have prehab before surgery.

Zimney has worked with clients who are recovering from joint replacement surgery for about 11 years. He typically sees patients between the ages of 55 and 75.

His client list is growing.

“People are living longer so they want to have an active lifestyle and maintain the

PHYSICAL THERAPIST BETHANY STADALMAN works with health reporter Karrey Britt on strengthening exercises in a home therapy session May 26, a week after Britt’s hip replacement surgery.

Dr. Hendricks predicts that I will be ready to have a left hip replacement soon. “What usually happens is when people have both of their hips that are badly affected they get the first one done and then they are like, ‘I can’t wait to get at the other one.’” lifestyle that they have,” he said.

The recovery for hips is easier than for knees, according to Zimney and orthopedic surgeons. Here’s what Zimney had to say about recovery: ● Hips — Pain decreases right away and patients are able to walk the next day. For about six weeks, patients can’t bend more than 90 degrees at the waist because there’s a high risk of dislocation. Recovery is about two months. ● Knees — Still painful after surgery. It takes between two and three months before the patients are glad they even had surgery. But, there are no restrictions with knees. Recovery ranges from three to six months.

Like most things in medicine, he said, the type of rehabilitation that a patient receives often is dictated by insurance. Most people get home health services and then have outpatient therapy.

But that’s not always the case.

I am fortunate to have health insurance that covered home health services.

“Home therapy is great because you have an opportunity to really see what that person specifically needs to

get around the house,” Zimney said. ●●●

I returned home on a Sunday, and the next day I received home health and physical therapy services through Douglas County Visiting Nurses, Rehabilitation and Hospice.

Debbie Fattaahi, a registered nurse, checked my incision and went over my medications. I had an allergic reaction to a pain medication, which caused some dizziness and a red rash across my back, so I was glad she was there to help. Once we switched pain medications I felt much better. She came for just one more visit.

On the first visit, physical therapist Bethany Stadalman went through the house to make sure I could get around and had everything I needed.

She checked my strength and then advised me to walk around the house with a walker as much as possible, but at least for five minutes three times a day.

During the next visit — just one week after surgery — she added strengthening exercises and had me exchange the walker for a cane. I also walked outside for the first time and, boy, did

the warm sunshine feel good.

On the third visit, she checked my incision, we took a walk outdoors and she helped me get in and out of my car. I had to sit on a pillow, so I didn’t break the 90degree rule.

During her fourth and final visit — just two weeks after surgery — she had me walk outside without a cane and we added ankle weights during the strengthening exercises.

I was wobbly because my body was still adjusting. Also, my right leg is about a halfinch longer than my left.

That’s because my right femoral head is round, as it should be, instead of flat.

The unevenness will be fixed when I get a left hip replacement.

She also called my doctor, and he said I didn’t need to put a bandage on my incision anymore. Woo hoo! I was starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. ●●●

Four weeks after the operation, I had the follow-up appointment with my surgeon, Dr. Kelly Hendricks. He cleared me of all of postoperative restrictions and said I could drive again.

He still wanted me to take a daily aspirin and wear TED hose — those tight, white ugly stockings — to prevent blood clots for two more weeks. I was really hoping to get rid of the TED hose, considering summer’s 90-degree temperatures, but he wasn’t budging.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical crews did not locate any hazardous material after a student reported a sulfur-like smell in a lab at Learned Hall on Thursday morning.

Kansas University officials evacuated and closed the engineering buildings of Learned and Eaton halls for nearly two hours as crews searched the building.

“Standard operating procedure when there’s a hazardous material incident is to ensure that the air is safe in all buildings that are affected,” KU spokeswoman Jill Jess said. “Those are both big buildings so it took awhile just to make sure that everything was OK.” Jess said air monitoring in both buildings detected zero airborne contaminants in either building, and the odor’s source was undetermined.

The student at 10:30 a.m. in the first-floor lab made the report and also felt ill. The student was treated at the scene, Jess said.

Kevin Morgan, a graduate student at KU starting in the fall, said he was in the Formula SAE lab when he and others began smelling a “rotten egg odor.” He said one person became ill from the smell, which caused their supervisor to call 911.

Naismith Drive was closed between Crescent Road and

I didn’t think it was smart to stay there.”

— Yong Bai, associate professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering Irving Hill Road in order to give fire crews room to work, but they reopened shortly after 1 p.m.

KU officials called 911 and used the buildings’ alarm systems to get students and staff members who were there as part of summer school to evacuate, Jess said.

Yong Bai, an associate professor of civil, environmental and architectural engineering, said he was working in the off ice and heard the alarm.

“I didn’t think it was smart to stay there,” Bai said.

Jess said KU officials did not use the university’s text alert system.

“There was no immediate threat to campus,” she said.

KU did post information to its alerts website mainly encouraging people to avoid the area because traff ic would be backed up.

Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical and KU Public Safety officers investigated the buildings.

Hendricks said my hip would get stronger every day and gain flexibility.

“Over the next three months, you will get 95 percent better. Over the next nine months, you are going to get incremental small benefits,” he said.

He said I could go back to doing normal activities: playing tennis, riding my bicycle, walking and swimming.

Some doctors place no restrictions on their patients once they’ve fully recovered, but Hendricks would prefer that I be more cautious, which means no running.

“I don’t want you running marathons, but using an elliptical machine at the gym or riding your bike around town or doing a biathlon is fine — within reason,” he advised, adding that the new hip could last me the rest of my life.

“Impact aerobics, contact sports, like hockey — to me I don’t see the utility of any 40year-old needing to do that, let alone somebody who’s got a hip replacement. I’m 40. I don’t need to do that,” he said with laughter.

My husband and I laughed, too.

Hendricks predicts that I will be ready to have a left hip replacement soon.

“What usually happens is when people have both of their hips that are badly affected they get the first one done and then they are like, ‘I can’t wait to get at the other one.’”

He said he would do it anytime after three months — giving my right hip time to heal.

At seven weeks, I am really feeling the benef its. I recently played tennis with my husband for the first time in several years. There was no pain on the right side, but a tremendous amount on the left.

Victim advocate’s work praised

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A state coalition that works to prevent sexual and domestic violence said the departure of Juliene Maska from the Kansas Governor’s Grants Program office was “a great loss.”

“Not only did Juliene devote her career to making Kansas better for victims of crime, she was also an advocate, an ally, and a friend to victims of sexual and domestic violence in Kansas and across the nation,” the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence said in a news release.

Maska informed the coalition that last Friday was her last day in Gov. Sam Brownback’s office. Maska could not be reached for comment Thursday, and Brownback’s office did not respond to a request for information.

Maska has been recognized as a leader in Kansas in

the movement to end violence against women and children. The coalition established an award in her name that is given annually to an outstanding advocate in Kansas.

She has worked with previous governors and attorneys general — both Republicans and Democrats — to pass the Crime Victims Bill of Rights, create the Governor’s Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board, and implement numerous other initiatives to help victims. She served as the state’s first statewide Victim Rights Coordinator.

“Juliene’s public and daily support for crime victims in Kansas will be missed,” the coalition said. “Her legacy as a leader in the movement to end violence against women and children in Kansas will live on.”

EDITORIALS

Worth remembering Modern Lawrence residents probably can learn something from those who survived Quantrill’s raid.

Q

uantrill’s infamous 1863 raid on Lawrence is nothing to celebrate, but it certainly shouldn’t be forgotten.

We agree with City Manager David Corliss that Lawrence should start now to think of an appropriate way to commemorate the 150th anniversary of this pivotal event in Lawrence’s history.

As part of his budget recommendations for the coming year, Corliss suggested that city commissioners appoint a group of Lawrence residents to come up with suggestions for how the city could recognize the anniversary of the raid. Possibilities could include dedicating a new work of art or new historical markers in the community. It might involve an exhibit, an event or a series of events.

Finding the right tribute is a decision that deserves some careful consideration. Bringing together a group of local residents and historians as well as leaders from Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area and the Douglas County Historical Society would be a good place to start.

Quantrill’s raid is the most widely known event in Lawrence’s history. The pro-Confederate band rode into town early in the morning of Aug. 21, 1863. When they left, 180 men were dead and much of Lawrence was burned to the ground.

The story of the massacre is well known, but, as Paul Harvey might have said, it’s “the rest of the story” that is truly worth celebrating. That’s the story of how survivors of Quantrill’s raid buried their dead and rebuilt their lives. In the process, they also rebuilt Lawrence like the mythical phoenix rising from the ashes. The spirit of those survivors is a lasting legacy for Lawrence.

Some kind of physical monument to the 150th anniversary might be nice, but the greatest tribute might be to give local residents an opportunity to reflect not only on the raid itself or the destruction that resulted, but on the spirit that allowed Lawrence to pick itself up and move into the future after it largely had been burned to the ground.

What gave local residents the courage to look to the future rather than pack their bags and leave? What kind of vision guided them as they worked to make Lawrence a better and more prosperous community? What can current Lawrence residents learn from those survivors?

We may not think about it often, but events as significant as Quantrill’s raid have a lasting impact on a community and its personality.

Marking the 150th anniversary of that raid will be an opportunity for modern Lawrence residents to honor both those who lost their lives and those who survived and thrived.

Outsider Murdoch makes his own rules W A S H I N G T O N — Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. is a company with a chip on its shoulder. His defy-the-establishment sensibility has built a print and television empire, to the despair of more traditional (and, Murdoch would say, elitist) rivals. But the phonehacking scandal that now envelops one of Murdoch’s British publications shows how corrosive this style of anythinggoes journalism can be.

It’s been known since 2006 that Murdoch’s News of the World published exposes of the British

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

How much did “Murdoch himself know?

That will be a key question in British police and parliamentary inquiries in coming weeks.”

royal family based on illegally intercepted phone messages. But the paper, backed by Murdoch’s top lieutenants, has insisted that the hacking was the work of a single reporter and an outside consultant. The newspaper rebuffed demands for a wider investigation — aided, according to press reports, by police officials who feared their private lives would be exposed by News Corp. publications if they pursued the inquiry too aggressively.

This pyramid of denial is crumbling. The British public is outraged by reports that the hacking involved thousands of targets, including a 13-year-old murder victim, prominent politicians and law-enforcement officials. What’s more important, the police are now asking Murdoch’s lieutenants the question at the heart of any coverup investigation: What did they know, and when did they know it?

How much did Murdoch himself know? That will be a key question in British police and

parliamentary inquiries in coming weeks. Murdoch is often described as a “detail man” who speaks with his top media executives several times a day. But that doesn’t mean he condoned illegal actions by others.

News Corp.’s resistance to investigation was on display last year in its response to a New York Times Magazine piece that appeared Sept. 1. The article detailed the failure of Scotland Yard to investigate the breadth of the hacking by News of the World, and quoted anonymous employees saying that Andy Coulson, the paper’s editor at the time, was aware of the phone snooping. The article also quoted a February 2010 Parliament report that accused News of the World officials of “deliberate obfuscation” in their denials.

The Murdoch camp’s reaction to the Times probe was telling: Rather than admitting error, Bill Akass, managing editor of News of the World, warned the Times sharply against publishing the article.

When the Times went ahead anyway, Akass sent an indignant letter arguing that the paper had attacked Murdoch’s publication because of the Times’ rivalry with The Wall Street Journal,

News Corp.’s American flagship.

“It seems to us that your investigation has always been tainted by a vested interest in its outcome which means it is in serious and multiple breach of your own ethical guidelines,” Akass argued.

His aggressive letter, posted last year on the Times website, makes interesting reading now, in light of what has emerged.

This sense of victimization goes deep in News Corp. Executives have often responded to criticism with aggrieved indignation — arguing that opponents are elitist and out of touch with the masses. In a November 2010 speech to a conference of British editors, Akass defended his brand of tabloid journalism against the “snobbish elite,” saying that their complaints were “a kind of proxy for sneering at the working class.”

That line, denouncing critics as snobs, was vintage Murdoch.

You hear the same theme when Fox News trumpets its rightleaning coverage as “fair and balanced,” even as the cable network’s commentary includes a roster of Republican presidential aspirants. Fox commentators argue that other, more traditional news organizations are out of touch with the real America.

Murdoch himself complained

about the “allegiance to the upper class, to the liberal attitude” of The Boston Globe when he bought the rival Boston Herald in 1982.

In the fair and balanced spirit, let me grant Murdoch one important point: He wouldn’t have been so successful if some of his venerable rivals hadn’t, in fact, been elitist, skewed to the left and sometimes just plain boring.

Murdoch’s publications and television networks may have coarsened standards, but they are also entertaining. Being irreverent is not the problem. The media world could use more of that Murdochian energy, not less.

The trouble with the Murdoch empire is something that Alexander Hamilton, America’s wisest observer of the dangers of populist rhetoric, would have understood. News Corp.’s identification with the common man seems to have bred an arrogance and contempt for traditional rules. In the name of the masses, anything goes. Sadly, these qualities are characteristic, through history, of those who claim to speak in the name of the people and, buoyed by mass popularity, begin to cross the lines.

PUBLIC FORUM

No more taxes To the editor: A snowball rolls downhill. In an effort to make up for the failed multi-billion dollar stimulus fiasco and the reckless trillion-dollar spending sprees, the feds cut the umbilical cord to numerous states. Now that the state coffers are nearing depletion, the governors are forced to snip the purse strings to many cities.

The misplaced anger toward Topeka should be directed at Washington.

In turn, Lawrence has to deal with the hand we are dealt. In the past, our commissioners could make much easier decisions and be Santa to every wish list. Some serious chopping is in order. Maintain infrastructure, streets and sidewalks. Beyond that, everything is fair game. We have the mistaken concept that only one person can do a job. For starters, reducing the city manager’s pay by 15 percent for each of the next five years should be on the table. If he chooses to leave, an engineering grad from KU could easily fill his position for half the expense.

A police chief is always going to want more pay, more men and more new cars. If you ask a fire chief, he’ll want another new crew, more new trucks and a new fire station. The list goes on and on. Everybody has their hands out wanting, “More please.”

Enough already! The best way to have more tax revenue is to not make families and businesses leave the city seeking relief from the higher rates. True leaders simply do not raise taxes during difficult economic times. It certainly is not a time to say yes to every whim.

Richard Smith, Lawrence

Fear and facts To the editor: “…office closures do not appear to be having a negative impact on access to SRS services.” “As the agency gains experience in providing access through technology and a redesigned service delivery model, additional offices may be closed. Opportunities have been identified already through collaborative efforts in communities.” — SRS Secretary Janet Schalansky in her testimony before the Senate Ways and Means Committee in January 2004.

In 2003, Gov. Sebelius embarked on a plan to close 62 SRS offices across the state over a two-year period as part of her directive to improve government efficiency and reduce budget expenditures. An article in the April 4, 2003, Journal-World estimated these closures would affect 300,000 Kansans. Scha-

The Meadowbrook Apartment Complex became the first major YEARS apartment develAGO opment in IN 1971 Lawrence to provide cable television for all residents. The manager of Meadowbrook, which had 423 apartment units either occupied or under construction, had arranged with Sunflower Cablevision to have coaxial cable installed in the expanding complex, according to an announcement made by Max Falkenstien, general manager of the cable company. Construction was also progressing on the Sunflower office and television studio at Seventh and New Hampshire, and more than 25 miles of utility poles, owned by Southwestern Bell and Kansas Power & Light, were prepared to receive the approximately 120 miles of cable To the editor: Mr. Collins (Public Forum, July 12) is absolutely necessary for service in the Lawrence area.

lansky also provided the following statistics from the 30 counties where offices were closed in 2003 as compared to the remaining counties with open SRS offices. Counties with closed offices: 75 percent experienced increases in Temporary Assistance for Families cases; 80 percent experienced increases in food stamp cases; 95 percent experienced increases in child care cases. Counties with offices: 50 percent experienced increases in TAF cases; 87 percent experienced increases in food stamp cases; 87 percent experienced increases in child care cases. The statistics would indicate that office closure had no bearing on access to SRS services.

With that said it would seem the current rhetoric and accusations being tossed about are quite disingenuous and appear to be driven by pure partisan politics. This seems to have become an irrational debate rooted in fear and ignorance and fueled by hysteria rather than fact.

Bob Zook, Lawrence

Biblical capitalism

correct: I do not like Mr. Brownback’s idea of governing on a faith basis. I do not know this Jesus he claims to serve. I’m not a “born-again Christian” like Mr. Collins, but the Jesus I know can be found in Matthew 25:42-45: “‘For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’”

Thank you to Rev. Peter Luckey for opening Plymouth Church Monday evening and to all the governing officials and local citizens who showed up to address the SRS travesty Mr. Brownback has foisted upon our community.

For more information on Mr. Brownback’s faithbased vision, acquaint yourself with Jeff Sharlet and his books and articles on “The Family.” It’s a scary future if we let Mr. Brownback and those of his ilk get away with governing in the name of (their brand) of faith (biblical capitalism). Looks a lot like a theocratic oligarchy to me.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for July 15, 1911: YEARS "A fish story, AGO that is 'fishy' and in IN 1911 which large number of fish and fishermen play the principal part is being told today by Eugene Porter of the Postal Telegraph Co. Porter went out to Horse Shoe Lake yesterday to indulge in a little recreation, but he had no sooner cast in his hook and settled comfortably back against a tree than the fish began to bite and they kept on biting until Porter at last in desperation took himself to the road on his return to Lawrence to seek a more peaceful place in which to rest."

Concussion discussion

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

KSU 13, Kansas 1 — really Competing with the Big 12’s Oklahoma and Texas schools in sports other than men’s basketball always will present a steep challenge for Kansas University.

Recruits tend to want to go to nearby schools. Oklahoma and especially Texas produce far more talented athletes than does Kansas.

In some sports, such as baseball, softball and track and field, weather also works against KU. In some cases, athletic budgets and facilities favor others.

Call them excuses, but to an extent they just as easily could fall under the category of reasonable explanations that play a factor in the Jayhawks finishing dead-last in the all-sports standings.

Yet, it’s not difficult to find a counter to the argument geography plays the biggest part in Kansas’ failing to compete for any conference titles outside of men’s basketball. The excuse falls apart 75 miles to the west, 10 to the north.

Kansas State doesn’t have superior facilities to those of KU, does not have as sizeable a budget, has similar weather and is at an even greater geographic disadvantage because it’s not as close to Kansas City.

Despite those hurdles, the Wildcats dominated the Jayhawks on the fields and courts of competition during the 20102011 school year. In so doing, the ’Cats supplied their athletic director, John Currie, with a chance to boast, although he didn’t choose to do so in a tacky way.

In a letter to ’Catbackers dated June 1 and still posted on kstatesports.com, Currie lists the Wildcats’ athletic achievements the past year. The final one listed, as if an afterthought so as not to be accused of rubbing it in, reads: “A combined 13-1 record against the Jayhawks in head-to-head competition.”

Really? It didn’t sound right, but a check of the records shows KU did indeed go 1-13 in the rivalry that desperately needs a nickname better than “Sunflower Showdown.”

The loss that stung the most: Kansas State 59, Kansas 7, a Thursday night blowout, Oct. 14, 2010, in Memorial Stadium, during which the players on the home team looked as if they were running in cement shoes, affirming why coach Turner Gill has put such a premium on recruiting faster players.

The lone victory: Kansas 90, Kansas State 66, fueled by Thomas Robinson’s 17-point, nine-rebound tribute to all those who supported him through his heartache. The game was played two days after his mother’s funeral.

K-State avenged the loss on Valentine’s Day, 84-68, when Jacob Pullen juiced Bramlage Coliseum with 38 points.

Kansas State swept two games in women’s basketball, executed a three-game sweep in baseball and swept two apiece in volleyball, rowing and women’s tennis.

If a coach of a nonrevenue sport chooses to whine about either the local newspaper or the K-State sports website reporting the data, he or she better not do so within earshot of first-year KU AD Sheahon Zenger. He’s not going to want to hear it. He’s not into using slogans in an attempt to create false perceptions about the state of the athletic department (aside from the perennial powerhouse men’s basketball program). Denial’s not his game.

He’s interested in winning, not in offering a shoulder to capture the tears of those too often losing.

Coaches, trainers mindful of head injuries

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

When he played at Lawrence High in the 1970s, Bob Lisher remembers many times that his head would bang against the top of his helmet.

“Back then, the equipment is so different, there’s not too many days you didn’t come out of practice with a headache or dizziness or seeing stars,” said Lisher, Free State High’s 15th-year football coach.

A lot has changed since then.

Players are no longer encouraged to ignore symptoms like the ones Lisher described — all possible signs of a concussion.

Increased awareness about the potentially harmful effects of head injuries has led to additional safety precautions.

“With the new technology, it just gets better and better,” Lisher said. “I don’t think you’ll ever eliminate (concussions) totally, but it’s better each year.”

Procedure Free State head athletic trainer Anna Johnson Manternach says the tricky part about concussions is that she can’t see the brain.

“We used to say the hamstring was the most frustrating, because it takes so long to rehab,” Johnson Manternach said.

“Concussions are worse.”

Because a concussion can’t be seen like an external bruise, the only way to diagnose it is by looking for symptoms.

So what is the procedure?

If a concussion is suspected, Johnson Manternach uses the SCAT2 — or Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 2.

Her SCAT2 is a pocket-sized, two-sided questionnaire that tests

an athlete’s cognitive function, memory, balance and coordination to see if signs of a concussion are present.

With the SCAT2, she asks the athlete basic questions. That could include what the score is or where the person is right now.

She’s also asking questions to see if any other concussion symptoms are present, such as ringing in the ears, headaches or dizziness.

If the athlete exhibits any of the symptoms after a blow to the head, he comes out of the game and is not allowed to return — a decision that is out of the coach’s jurisdiction.

Following a concussion diagnosis, Free State follows the School

Sports Head Injury Prevention Act that was enacted by the Kansas Legislature and put into effect on July 1. The athlete cannot come back to competition without getting a signed form by a physician.

If a football player has the signed form, Johnson Manternach starts him on a graded return.

The first day, she will run him through light cardio, like jogging the sideline for 15 minutes, then will check to see if any of the concussion symptoms reappear. If they do, the athlete is shut down, and the process is restarted after a 24-hour period.

If there are no problems following the light jog, the athlete goes through a tougher workout the next day to see if the symptoms return.

It typically takes about seven to 10 days before the athlete makes it back to full game play, assuming he shows no lingering effects following the concussion.

Veteran Bjorn, amateur Lewis lead Open

By Doug Ferguson Associated Press Golf Writer

SANDWICH, ENGLAND — Thomas Bjorn and Tom Lewis have nothing in common except for the unlikely position they shared Thursday atop the leaderboard at the British Open.

It’s not just that one is twice as old.

Or that Bjorn is a 40-year-old pro who wonders how much longer he can compete at the highest level, while Lewis is an amateur making his major championship debut, his best golf still to come.

The biggest difference are their memories of Royal St. George’s.

Bjorn took a small step toward atonement with a birdie on the par-3 16th — the hole that cost him the claret jug in 2003 when he took three shots to escape a

pot bunker — on his way to a 5under 65 in the toughest conditions of the opening round.

He made a birdie on Thursday, and couldn’t help but smile when he saw it bounce away from trouble and toward the flag.

“When I hit the shot, I thought, ’This is going to struggle.’ So when it just made it over that bunker, that was just a smile of knowing that things were going my way today,” Bjorn said.

Lewis ran off four straight birdies late in his round, an amazing stretch that began on the par-5 14th. That’s the hole where Lewis wrapped up the British Boys Amateur Championship two years ago, the highlight of a sterling amateur record.

A par on the final hole gave him Jon Super/AP Photo a 65, the lowest ever by an amateur in the British Open, making TOM LEWIS HITS A SHOT FROM THE 14TH TEE as Tom Watson, left, looks on during the first day of the British Open. Lewis shot a 5-under 65 during Thursday’s first round at Please see LEWIS, page 6B Royal St. George’s golf course in Sandwich, England.

NFL LOCKOUT

Sources: Players, owners make progress NEW YORK (AP) — Making significant progress on one of the major sticking points in NFL labor talks, owners and players neared agreement Thursday on how to rein in the soaring salaries of high firstround draft picks, people familiar with the negotiations said.

Another person with knowledge of the discussions told the Associated Press that Thursday’s

12-hour-plus meeting at a Manhattan law firm was producing results but that other key issues remained to be resolved, such as what free agency will look like moving forward and new offseason workout rules.

The people spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the talks aimed at ending the NFL’s four-

With time running short to keep the preseason intact, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, eight owners and about a half-dozen current or former players were in their second consecutive day of lengthy negotiations. They were expected to meet

again today as they attempt to resolve the impasse that created the sport’s first work stoppage since 1987. On rookie salaries, sources said first-round draft picks will sign four-year contracts with a club option for a fifth year.

Owners were hoping for five-year contracts, while players wanted highly drafted rookies to be under a team’s control for four years.

| SPORTS WRAP |

By Neil Best Newsday

ESPN doesn’t need you or me rooting for it, not with the piles of money it sits on in central Connecticut, indirectly but efficiently collected from, yup, you and me.

But just this once let’s do it anyway: The Bristol Stompers made a huge, risky bet in time and dollars chronicling the Women’s World Cup as thoroughly as they have, and they deserve to reap the reward of an event that has paid off big.

Not only did the United States make it to Sunday’s final a must to capture the American TV audience but it got there with an improbable victory over Brazil that had mainstream sports fans discussing Hope Solo, Abby Wambach and friends.

That sort of thing hasn’t happened since 1999, the last time the U.S. reached the finals, and it never has happened in a World Cup held overseas.

The last time the Americans reached a final on the road was 1991, when they won it all in China and hardly anyone back home noticed.

No chance of that this time, between ESPN’s exhaustive coverage and the U.S. team having taken 21st century social media by storm, something the ’99 champs didn’t experience. (Speaking of which, do not forget to wish Twitter a happy fifth birthday today.)

“We had great hopes we would get to some measure of our success to date,” ESPN senior VP Jed Drake said from Germany.

“But needless to say we have benefited immensely from the interest in the U.S. team.”

ESPN couldn’t go wrong with Ian Darke on play-by-play after his fine work at last year’s men’s World Cup. (Americans evidently won’t accept anything other than a witty Brit for their soccer play-by-play.)

Beyond that, the network predictably loaded up on the stars of the sainted ’99 team, including Julie Foudy, Brandi Chastain, Briana Scurry, Mia Hamm and coach Tony DiCicco.

Their work generally has been solid, but they have walked an admittedly fine line between analysis and advocacy, what with their personal ties to the program and their viewers’ patriotic ties to it.

“I think it’s virtually impossible to have the cast of announcers we have and not have some measure of pride, if you will, in the job that this team has done,” Drake said.

“We have found a balance. We are not cheerleaders for this team. But needless to say, we are pleased when they perform to the extent that they have and the way that they have.”

Said Foudy: “It is a fine balance of, obviously internally I want that team to do well, but at the same time I have to call the game as objectively as I can and step out of that.”

On a more touchy note, the constant presence of ’99ers on television has furthered the impression that group is a shadow looming behind every subsequent U.S. team.

As goalkeeper Hope Solo put it: “To be honest, we’re tired of hearing about ’99.”

Chastain called that sentiment “a little disheartening for me personally,” because she believes every generation of Americans should share a bond.

Foudy was more sympathetic: “I’d be tired of it, too, if I were them. That’s all they’ve heard for 12 years.”

Sunday they can complete their own story. Japan’s upset of Germany in the quarterfinals should be a plus for the U.S., which would have faced a packed, hostile stadium in Frankfurt had the hosts been there.

Regardless, as anyone who knows sports in general and American sports in particular understands, all of this quickly will be forgotten if Japan wins.

“The first thing they have to do,” Foudy said, “is finish it off.”

BELGIUM’S JELLE VANENDERT, LEFT, CONGRATULATES stage winner Samuel Sanchez of Spain after crossing the finish line of the 12th stage of the Tour de France.

Thursday’s stage started in Cugnaux and finished in Luz Ardiden, France.

Schlecks shine as Sanchez wins 12th stage LUZ-ARDIDEN, FRANCE — Score one for the Schleck brothers — Andy and Frank — against defending champion Alberto Contador.

The Tour de France entered the Pyrenees on Thursday, and the Schlecks delivered a 1-2 punch with attacks at the end of the 131-mile Stage 12 from Cugnaux to the Luz-Ardiden ski station. By the finish, Contador was gritting his teeth.

Spanish climbing specialist Samuel Sanchez, whose team is based in nearby Basque country, gave the home crowd reason to celebrate. He won the stage after riding inspired through a sea of red, green and white Basque flags.

And the current darling of French cycling — Thomas Voeckler — surprised himself by keeping the yellow jersey on Bastille Day after scaling three punishing peaks.

Sanchez and Voeckler, however, aren’t expected to be among the contenders for the title when the three-week cycling showcase ends July 24 on Paris’ Champs-Elysees.

Contador and Andy Schleck — and maybe his brother — are. That’ll be after the race runs through more punishment in the Alps in Week Three and a pivotal individual time trial in Grenoble on the next-to-last race day.

Thursday’s leg showed the once indomitable Contador, who had a dismal Tour start because of crashes and stumbles at his Saxo Bank team, can be vulnerable in the mountains.

Frank Schleck could be an ace-in-the-hole for his brother and Leopard Trek teammate, who was runner-up to Contador each of the last two years. Last year, Andy didn’t enjoy any brotherly benefit: Frank crashed in a nasty cobblestone patch in Stage Three and dropped out of the race due to a broken collarbone — missing the mountain stages.

MLB Ortiz, Gregg suspended 4 games BOSTON — Red Sox slugger David Ortiz and Baltimore pitcher Kevin Gregg were suspended four games and fined Thursday for their parts in a July 8 bench-clearing brawl.

Orioles pitcher Mike Gonzalez was suspended three games, and manager Buck Showalter was suspended one game as part of the punishment handed out Thursday by Major League Baseball. Gregg and Gonzalez have decided to appeal, delaying the suspensions.

A’s lefty Anderson out for season OAKLAND, CALIF. — The Oakland Athletics say left-handed pitcher Brett Anderson will miss the rest of the season after having reconstructive surgery on his elbow.

The A’s said Anderson had surgery Thursday. Dr. James Andrews performed the operation to rebuild the ulnar collateral ligament.

Giants talking to Riggleman SAN DIEGO — The San Francisco Giants are talking to former Washington Nationals manager Jim Riggleman about a scouting job.

Riggleman was in San Diego to meet with Giants general manager Brian Sabean and manager Bruce Bochy after Thursday night’s series opener against the San Diego Padres.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Iowa St. reinstates center Railey DES MOINES, IOWA — Iowa State has reinstated suspended center Jordan Railey, though he will not be allowed to play in the first three games next season.

Railey was suspended following his arrest in April for fighting in public. Cyclones spokesman Mike Green says Railey’s disorderly conduct charge has been dropped.

Guard Hubbard leaves Iowa IOWA CITY, IOWA — Iowa guard Anthony Hubbard, who spent nearly four years in prison before earning a Div. I scholarship, has left the program without ever suiting up for the Hawkeyes. Iowa said Thursday that Hubbard wants to explore playing for a school closer to his Virginia home.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL LSU: NCAA has scouting material BATON ROUGE, LA. — LSU has given the NCAA copies of material it received from recruiting service owner Willie Lyles and his Complete Scouting Services.

The school said in a news release Thursday that it paid $6,000 in December for printed information and DVDs of game footage and highlights of 32 California and Kansas junior college prospects eligible to sign national letters of intent in February. LSU also got footage of two players it hadn’t asked about, one from 2008, and 91 pages of largely outdated rostertype material from junior colleges in California and Kansas.

NFL Pittsburgh’s Harrison apologizes Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison has apologized for using an anti-gay slur to refer to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in an interview with “Men’s Journal,” and says his critical statements about teammates were taken out of context.

In the article, the Steelers’ star criticized Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and running back Rashard Mendenhall for their play in last season’s Super Bowl loss to Green Bay.

NBA League lays off 114 employees NEW YORK — The NBA laid off about 114 people over the last two days, planned costcutting moves that a league spokesman said Thursday are “not a direct result of the lockout.” The laid-off employees represent about 11 percent of the league office workforce in New York, New Jersey and internationally.

Spokesman Mike Bass told the Associated Press the layoffs are “not a direct result of the lockout but rather a response to the same underlying issue; that is, the league’s expenses far outpace our revenues.”

“The roughly 11 percent reduction in headcount from the league office is part of larger cost-cutting measures to reduce our costs by $50 million across all areas of our business,” Bass said.

THE QUOTE “How about Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson and Shaq on politics?

Movies? Music? Why the heck not? It was evident on a call to announce O’Neal’s hiring that the man Smith has dubbed ‘The Big Analytical’ will fit right in with a group too colorful to be stifled by a mere labor dispute.”

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

Kansas foe GaTech slapped by NCAA games of the 2009 season, including the ACC title game and a BCS bowl game.

Georgia Tech will play host to KU during the third week of the 2011 season on Sept. 17.

Last year, the Jayhawks upset the 15th-ranked Yellow Jackets, 28-25, at Memorial Stadium, one week after dropping the season opener to FCS opponent North Dakota State.

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s football program might be staring down an overwhelming rebuilding project, but even so the Jayhawks are in far better shape than one of their 2011 football opponents.

Thursday, the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions placed Georgia Tech on probation for the next four years, effective immediately.

“According to the committee, the university’s failure to cooperate and meet the obligations of membership compounded the seriousness of the case by adding onto what was originally an isolated instance of impermissible benef its and preferential treatment,” the NCAA said in a prepared statement.

In addition to the fouryear probation, Georgia Tech was penalized with a $100,000 f ine, having its 2009 ACC championship game victory vacated and a reduction in official men’s basketball recruiting visits for 2011-12 and 2012-13. Tech also accepted a handful of less-severe, self-imposed penalties.

The Yellow Jackets did not lose scholarships and were

Shortly after the NCAA’s ruling, Tech responded to the sanctions.

“Georgia Tech is committed to the integrity of its athletics program, including full cooperation and support of the NCAA,” Georgia Tech President G.P. “Bud” Peterson said.

“Given the information we had at the time, I believe we took reasonable and appropriate

steps to determine the proper course of action and acted in good faith. Looking back, there are things we could have done differently. Because of our unwavering commitment to NCAA compliance, we have already taken a number of steps to address perceived shortcomings, hopefully ensuring that our programs remain beyond reproach.”

Though not all of the specifics were made avail-

able, it appears that two of the school’s biggest infractions involved football. First, the NCAA said that members of the Georgia Tech football staff alerted a member of the football team about the scope of an upcoming interview despite the NCAA requiring that they not do so. Second, a player who accepted more KU in better shape with QB? than $300 worth of clothing On Wednesday, the Univerfrom a sports agent was sity of Oklahoma picked up an allowed to play the final three oral commitment from Class

KANSAS CITY PITCHER BLAKE WOOD, LEFT, watches Minnesota’s Trevor Plouffe heading home to score after Wood hit Alexi Casilla by a pitch with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. The Twins won, 8-4, Thursday in Minneapolis.

Royals fall to Twins, 8-4 M I N N E A P O L I S ( AP ) — After Royals starter Bruce Chen labored through five innings, Kansas City manager Ned Yost went to his bullpen hoping to find a couple of arms who were sharper out of the All-Star break.

No such luck.

Blake Wood and Everett Teaford faltered badly in a four-run seventh inning that put the game out of reach and the Royals fell, 8-4, to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night.

Wood walked three and hit another batter while being charged with four runs, and Teaford gave up a two-run single to Joe Mauer in relief of Bruce Chen (5-3). Chen gave

up four runs on nine hits with three walks in five innings.

“Just a day, actually the first day all year where nobody was sharp,” Yost said.

Trevor Plouffe hit a big tworun homer and Delmon Young had three hits in his return to the lineup for the Twins.

Francisco Liriano (6-7) gave up three runs — one earned — on seven hits with four strikeouts in seven innings and Mauer added two hits and two RBIs. Melky Cabrera had two hits, an RBI and threw a runner out at home from center field for the Royals, who have lost 13 of their last 16 games against the AL Central.

“Bruce wasn’t sharp tonight, nobody was really sharp tonight out of the pitching side of it,” Yost said.

“Bruce was in and out of trouble really every inning and then pitched his way out of it.”

The Royals were showing some signs of finally digging out of the cellar early in the season, starting the year 2017. They are 17-38 since then to fade out of contention, though youngsters like Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas are giving their long-suffering fans reason to hope that better days are around the corner.

Kansas City scratched and clawed its way to a 2-0 lead in the first inning.

Hearing for Robinson’s sister set J-W Staff Reports

W A S H I N G T O N , D . C . — The date of a hearing to help decide the future residence of the sister of Kansas University’s Thomas Robinson has been officially set for Aug. 17 in circuit court in Prince George County, Md., an attorney in the case said Thursday.

At the hearing, a judge

will consider a motion of Jayl a Ro b i n s o n’s birth father, James Paris, to dismiss a complaint for custody of 8-year-old Jayla filed by Willatant Austin, Jr., the stepbrother of the late Lisa Robinson, mother of Jayla.

At the hearing, the judge could simply agree on the motion to dismiss or agree to have a custody case start to move forward.

Paris’ attorney has said Paris maintains he has always been involved in his daughter’s life and has taken proper care of Jayla since the death of Lisa last Jan. 21.

Austin and his wife, Carrie, apparently wish to make a case Jayla would be better served living with them.

Thomas Robinson has said he will have no comment on issues involving his family.

Cover Jayhawks?

KU fans who enjoy playing video games may find cause to do a double-take in the next few weeks when spotting the cover of the new EA Sports game, NCAA Football 2012.

That’s because there are several images out there on the Internet that feature a couple of Jayhawks on the cover of the popular game.

Don’t be fooled. As nice as the covers that include senior wide receiver Daymond Patterson or sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb look, they’re not the real thing.

That honor belongs to former Alabama running back, Mark Ingram, now a member of the New Orleans Saints.

of 2012 quarterback Trevor Knight, a four-star, dualthreat prospect from Ronald Reagan High in San Antonio.

While Knight’s decision to join the Sooners has nothing to do with KU directly, it might lead to some good news for the Jayhawks in the future.

KU and OU were two of the four Big 12 schools pursuing Seth Russell, a three-star QB from Garland (Texas) High.

With OU turning its attention to Knight, Russell’s fondness for Kansas could grow.

“I’ve been leaning to Kansas and it is a great place,” Russell told Rivals.com’s Jon Kirby in a recent interview. “It is an opportunity of a lifetime and I think they have a great group of coaches. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to go travel to good schools.

I’m trying to wait it out and see how things go, but hope to make a decision before the end of the summer.”

Russell is one of five QBs KU is targeting in the Class of 2012.

He’s joined by Chicago’s Robert Gregory, 6-3, 181; Tommy Armstrong, 6-2, 210, of Cibolo, Texas; Lamontiez Ivy, 6-3, 225, of East St. Louis, Ill.; and Bilal Marshall, 6-3, 170, of Hialeah, Fla. According to Rivals, KU has extended scholarship offers to all five quarterbacks.

Our brunch is ranked 17th best in the greater KC/ Lawrence area.

Blue Jays destroy Yankees The Associated Press

Blue Jays 16, Yankees 7 TORONTO — Joe Girardi was left scratching his head at Bartolo Colon’s latest bad start.

Edwin Encarnacion and Eric Thames had three hits and three RBIs each, and Toronto used an eight-run first inning to beat Colon and New York on Thursday night.

Toronto lost slugger Jose Bautista to a twisted right ankle in the fourth inning.

Bautista, who leads the majors with 31 home runs, limped off after an awkward slide into third base. He is day-to-day.

The Yankees made three errors, including a f irstinning miscue by third baseman Eduardo Nunez that led to five unearned runs.

The sloppy defense, and some bad luck, had Yankees manager Girardi calling Colon’s performance “hard to figure out.”

NATIONAL LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Cubs blow 6-run lead vs. Florida The Associated Press

Marlins 6, Cubs 3 C H I C A G O — Pinch-hitter Greg Dobbs delivered a tworun double against closer Carlos Marmol, and Florida scored six times in the ninth inning to rally for a victory over Chicago that extended the Marlins’ season-high winning streak to six games.

The Marlins trailed, 2-0, before sending 11 batters to the plate in their final at-bat while pulling out a dramatic victory.

Matt Garza threw seven scoreless innings for Chicago, and Sean Marshall worked the eighth, but Marmol (2-3) unraveled while picking up his seventh blown save opportunity in 26 chances.

He walked Mike Stanton, Mike Cameron and John Buck, throwing just one strike in the process, and Dobbs— batting in the pitcher’s spot — followed with a double into the right-field corner.

Dewayne Wise, running for Buck, slipped between home and third but scored anyway when second baseman Darwin Barney’s relay bounced past catcher Geovany Soto for a throwing error that gave Florida a 3-2 lead.

Marmol then walked Emilio Bonifacio before being pulled for Kerry Wood, who walked Omar Infante to load the bases again and allowed a sacrifice fly by Gaby Sanchez and run-scoring single by Hanley Ramirez.

Jimenez (5-8) allowed two runs and six hits, walked two and struck out four to earn just his second win at home in 2011. Jimenez has won four of his last six starts after beginning the season 1-7.

Ryan Braun returned to the Milwaukee lineup with two hits to extend his hitting streak to 23 games. Braun missed the last eight games before the All-Star break with a left calf strain.

Concussions CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

The School Sports Head Injury Prevention Act also requires that athletes and their parents sign a concussion and head injury release form each school year.

Hidden numbers Lisher and Lawrence High football coach Dirk Wedd said their programs average around two to four diagnosed concussions per year.

Johnson Manternach fears that the number of undiagnosed concussions is much higher.

“We’re trying so hard to get away from that thinking that it’s just no big deal,” Johnson Manternach said. “But (athletes) also know that, ‘If I tell someone, I’m probably going

to have to sit out, but this is Olathe North, and I really don’t want to sit out.’

“If they’re not going to tell me, I can’t treat it. I can’t track it.”

Recent studies also have suggested that the damage from concussions might not be observable until years later.

Dr. Ann McKee, a researcher at Boston University, studied the brains of 12 former football players in 2008 and in each found the presence of an abnormal protein called tau — a signal of the degeneration of brain tissue.

Tau protein leads to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) — a degenerative disease that can appear years or decades after a person’s last concussion.

One of McKee’s subjects was an 18-year-old high school football player who’d

had multiple concussions, and a sample of brain tissue showed tau protein and early evidence of CTE. “Once that brain has deteriorated, once that damage has been done, you can’t fix it,” Johnson Manternach said. “It doesn’t grow back. It’s not like ... your ankle you can rehab or a knee that gets replaced.

Once those cells are dead, they’re dead.”

Even the best helmets can’t prevent some concussions, meaning unless there are major rule changes one day, football players will participate knowing they are taking on some risk.

Johnson Manternach said one of the biggest obstacles that remains is convincing athletes that concussions should be taken seriously.

“I love football season,” she said, “but I also want these kids to be functional adults.”

Helmets improved over the years ————

Schools keep close eye on equipment

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

Kansas University equipment manager Jeff Himes is in his 24th season with the school and has seen the technology of helmets improve dramatically.

“The old-style helmets really didn’t do a lot for a temple shot, a side shot,” Himes said. “Everything was pretty much (designed for) a forehead shot.”

Himes said football has evolved to more of a NASCAR-style helmet, which does a better job of protecting the whole head.

Safety features include an air pad around the jaw, the side of the head and then on the top of the head. There’s also a pad in the front and another air pocket in the back.

Each air pocket is inflated individually, so every player’s headgear fits exactly to his head.

KU uses two main types of helmets: Riddell’s Revolution and Revolution Speed. Himes said about 100 players were fitted with those styles.

Only about 10 still use oldstyle models — and almost half of those are kickers and punters.

“Those guys have just kind of what’s comfortable,” Himes said, “because sometimes, those (Revolution) helmets get a little heavy for a kicker.”

The Revolution and Revolution Speed come highly recommended, as a Virginia Tech study earlier this year rated 10 helmets for their ability to reduce the risks of concussions.

“

I’ve done some studies myself and listened to a bunch of people about it, and I felt like we were on the right track.”

— LHS coach Dirk Wedd, on the Lions’ Riddell Revolution helmets

The Revolution Speed earned the best overall rating of five stars, while the Revolution earned a “Very Good” four-star ranking.

KU also was part of a test period last year with Riddell’s Revolution Speed 360, a less bulky option with two grooves that run down the middle. KU quarterback Jordan Webb used that style last season, and Himes said five to 10 KU players planned to use the model in the fall.

Many steps are taken to ensure the helmets are safe to use.

For one, Himes has student managers go through the locker room every day to make sure buckles are OK, air pockets are working properly and that there are no cracks in the shell.

KU players had three different helmets last season: one for games, one for practices, and a third alternative one used in the season f inale against Missouri.

The game helmets are used for the 12 games during the season and in the 15 spring practices; the practice ones are only used for fall drills.

Both sets are sent in each year to be reconditioned, where they receive new

padding, chinstraps, buckles and facemasks.

At KU, every helmet has a life span of four years; after that, it is discarded.

Both Lawrence high schools also have safety measures in place with their helmets.

Lawrence High coach Dirk Wedd said the school only uses the Riddell Revolution, which earned the four-star safety rating.

“That made me feel really good,” Wedd said. “I’ve done some studies myself and listened to a bunch of people about it, and I felt like we were on the right track.”

LHS gets a dozen new helmets each year that go into a rotation before keeping them for 10 years — the length of time for which they are certified.

They aren’t cheap. The Revolution model costs LHS between $175 and $195.

Free State, meanwhile, uses a combination of Riddell Revolution and Schutt helmets.

FSHS football coach Bob Lisher said keeping up with the latest information was a necessity.

About a decade ago, Free State bought Riddell’s VSR4s for its players; that same style received a one-star, or “Marginal,” ranking in the Virginia Tech study.

“They recommend you not wear those. So we don’t put our kids in those any more, and we’ve got 12 of them left,” Lisher said. “But those were top-of-the-line 10 years ago.”

Both high schools, like KU, have their helmets reconditioned following each year.

L AWRENCE J OURNAL -WORLD

McDowell struggles early, regains poise SANDWICH, ENGLAND (AP) — A pick-me-up from his caddie and a favorable change in weather helped Graeme McDowell remain in the hunt at the British Open after a horror start to his first round.

The 2010 U.S. Open champion was reeling after making a double-bogey 6 at the first hole at Royal St. George’s on Thursday, soon followed by another dropped shot at No. 5.

Weeks of preparation were threatening to be undone there and then. Thank goodness, then, for caddie Ken Comboy.

“I’ve got to thank him for keeping me in the moment because my head was spinning after a few holes,” McDowell said. “That’s what this course and what major championships can do to you.

Maybe four or five years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to turn that round.”

McDowell, ranked No. 9, managed to recover his poise, and four birdies in a back nine played in benign, still conditions saw the Northern Irishman come home at 2-under 68.

He is tied for sixth, three shots off the lead, and clear of many of his chief rivals for the claret jug.

“The old cliche (in the first round) is, ‘You can’t win it, you can only lose it.’ I tried to lose it but I managed to hang in there. I’m in a great position,” he said.

With Luke Donald, Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy — three of the world’s top four — all shooting openinground 71s, McDowell finds himself in solid position.

It could have been so different.

“I just got off to a horrible start. Three days’ perfect preparation, nice warmup, walk onto the first tee and just put one of my worst swings of the week on it,” he said. “My second shot, all I could do was just hit it over the back and I pulled a horrible lie.

“I make double and walk to the second tee wondering what the hell just happened.”

After his win at Pebble Beach and his Ryder Cup exploits at Celtic Manor last year when he holed the winning putt for Europe, McDowell is made of sterner stuff these days.

“Perseverance, staying in the present and just believing in myself,” he said. “Patience is what you need, especially in links golf.”

him the first amateur to lead this championship in 43 years.

“It was a special moment for me, winning here, and to come back to where you’ve won is extra special,” Lewis said. “I was just thrilled to be here, but to shoot 65 the first round was something I wouldn’t have thought. I was just happy to get the drive off the tee at the first, and that was all that mattered.”

Adding to the nerves was playing alongside Tom Watson, such a popular figure in the Lewis household that they named their oldest son after the five-time Open champion. And to think the kid only wanted to make sure he didn’t embarrass himself in front of Watson.

“He could be my grandson,” Watson said. “I just had to smile inside to watch him play. I didn’t play particularly well myself, but I certainly was impressed by the way he played.”

Equally impressive to Watson was to overhear Lewis’ caddie tell him there were still 54 holes left.

But what a start.

Bjorn wasn’t even in the tournament until Vijay Singh withdrew on Monday, giving the Dane another shot at Royal St. George’s. When someone suggested if he would be better off not playing to avoid memories of his meltdown, Bjorn cut him off.

“A couple of people asked

Bjorn said. “This is The Open Championship. Where else do you want to be?”

Miguel Angel Jimenez also played in the windy morning conditions and had a bogeyfree 66. He was joined later in the round by former U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover and Webb Simpson.

A dozen players were at 68, a group that two major champions from last year — PGA winner Martin Kaymer and U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell, who was 3 over through five holes until a ferocious rally.

It was vintage links golf along the Strait of Dover, where the seaside wind can be as fickle as the bounces on rolling turf of Royal St. George’s. Flags that were crackling throughout the morning when Bjorn and Jimenez faced cold conditions and a spot of rain were only rippling when Lewis teed off in the afternoon, and they were drooping when the round ended.

The change was reflected in the scores.

Rory McIlroy, coming off an eight-shot victory in the U.S. Open that made the 22-yearold the centerpiece of this major, rallied from a sloppy

start for a 1-over 71, and he had no complaints.

“Anywhere around even par is a good start,” McIlroy said.

It didn’t feel that way toward the end of a long day.

The morning half of the draw were a combined 223over par. The afternoon half combined to go only 94-over par. There were a dozen rounds in the 60s in the morning, and 23 in the afternoon.

“Looks like the wind gods are having an afternoon tea?” came a tweet from John Daly, who was proud of his 72 in the morning.

The calmer conditions are expected this morning when Lewis goes out for his second round, with the wind shifting and becoming more fierce in the afternoon. That figures to only help Lewis, Glover and those who got the late-early portion of the tee times.

Lewis figures he has other advantages.

He has been around golf all of his life — his father once played the European Tour — and he really feels at home on links courses. The Royal & Ancients tends to play its championships for amateurs on the seaside courses, and Lewis has played only links this summer except for one tournament.

“We’re used to the wind,” Lewis said. “Watching it on the TV this morning, I didn’t think scores would be as low as they are. But the wind dropped, and that was the opportunity to shoot a good score. And I’m thankful I did play well.”

McIlroy NOT among leaders for a change SANDWICH , E NGLAND (AP ) — For the first time in 11 months, Rory McIlroy walked off the 18th green in the early stages of a major championship and did not see his name atop the leaderboard.

That’s how good he has been at golf’s biggest events.

And the way he rallied from a rugged start Thursday in the British Open, McIlroy didn’t think his 1-over 71 was all that bad.

“Anywhere around even par was a good start,” McIlroy said.

Facing enormous attention coming off his wire-to-wire win at the U.S. Open last month, McIlroy made a few key putts in the middle of his round to steady himself against a stiff breeze at Royal St. George’s.

He was six shots behind Thomas Bjorn, who played extraordinary golf in the tougher morning conditions of wind and some rain, and English amateur Tom Lewis, who took advantage of better conditions in the afternoon.

Trailing by any margin can only be considered a strange spot for McIlroy based on his recent, amazing history. He has been in the lead after seven of the last eight rounds in the majors, the exception being the 80 he shot in the final round at the Masters to lose a four-shot lead.

NORTHERN IRELAND’S RORY MCILROY HITS A SHOT FROM THE FOURTH TEE during the opening round Thursday of the British Open.

This day was different. And if the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland didn’t know it, then he at least heard it.

The media has been building him up as golf’s next star after his record-setting performance at Congressional. And when he stepped on the first tee with a freshening wind off the Strait of Dover, the cheers resounded the length of the 444-yard opening hole.

“It was great,” he said. “I

probably didn’t take it in as much as I could have. I was just trying to concentrate on that first tee shot and get that out of the way. But it’s nice to have that support out on the golf course. It’s fantastic.

Hopefully, I can give them something to shout about.”

It took awhile in the opening round.

The biggest cheer came for 22-year-old Rickie Fowler, who holed a 75-foot putt from

just off the back of the first green. McIlroy also went long, just a few inches in from of Fowler, and he rammed his long putt some eight feet past the hole and wound up threeputting for bogey.

Then came the par-3 third, where McIlroy got one of the wild, hard hops so often seen at Royal St. George’s and wound up in rough behind the green. The chip came out heavy, leading to another

bogey. And his next tee shot went into deep grass in front of a large knoll.

Suddenly, this didn’t look like the U.S. Open champion.

It looked like the kid who shot 80 the last day at Augusta National.

McIlroy powered a short iron out and onto the green, hit a superb chip from well left of the green at No. 5 to five feet to save par, and before long was back in his comfort zone.

It helped being paired with Fowler, an American of the same age, same style of play — they both waste no time hitting their shots — and with a history of playing together despite being so young. McIlroy and Fowler competed against each other in foursomes at the Walker Cup four years ago when both were teenagers at Royal County Down.

That was a home game for McIlroy, and this was not much different.

“The fans were great over here,” Fowler said. “Obviously, they’re cheering on Rory. It has a feeling like he’s a hero over here now. He’s had a pretty big impact, with impressive play recently and obviously at the U.S. Open. So it’s fun to play alongside him.

I’ve always enjoyed it, and definitely felt like the crowd was in his favor today.”

S A N W I C H , E N G L A N D ( AP ) — He’s a PGA Tour rookie who had not finished in the top 10 all year until his most recent tournament, which came at the right time because it made him eligible for the British Open at Royal St. George’s.

That was Kyle Stanley on Thursday.

It also was Ben Curtis in 2003, when the unheralded American won the claret jug.

Is there a repeat performance in the works? Stanley has a long way to go, and he played in the favorable conditions Thursday afternoon, but he still managed a 2-under 68 despite a bogey on the final hole.

“I didn’t expect to be here,” Stanley said. “But now I am, and I just hope I can take advantage of the opportunity.”

Stanley was still optimistic enough that he took his passport with him to the John Deere Classic last week in Illinois, which offered a British Open spot to the leading player among the top five who was not already eligible. Stanley thought he had to win, so he was disappointed when Steve Stricker birdied the last two holes for a one-shot victory.

Before long, he was on a charter flight to England for his first British Open. He has been able to do some laundry, although he had to buy some warm clothing in the pro shop.

“It took me a day to adjust, but I’m sleeping well, and I’m pretty tired in the evenings,” Stanley said. “So that’s good.”

The real adjustment comes on the links course of Royal St. George’s. Stanley, who went to college at Clemson, grew up in Washington state. He’s used to a little rain, but not on bumpy turf like a seaside links.

But he feels his game is in good shape for any kind of golf.

Ace of a recovery Dustin Johnson felt his British Open chances slipping away, mostly because he couldn’t make a putt.

He got right back in the game with a shot that didn’t require a putt.

Coming off back-to-back birdies, Johnson hit a wedge from 161 yards that bounced hard toward the cup and vanished into the hole for an ace, the third of his professional career. He added another birdie on the 17th, then watched a par putt catch the lip on the 18th for an unlikely 70.

“Standing on 14, I wanted to make a few birdies and give myself a chance to get back in this thing,” Johnson said. “If you would have bet me money that I would be 1-under par standing on the 18th tee, I wouldn’t have taken it.”

The hole-in-one looked as though it might run some 20 feet by the hole. Ian Poulter said Johnson turned to him and said, “I don’t care, as long as it’s 4 inches under.”

Johnson tossed the ball into the gallery. He doesn’t get too excited about moments like this, and when someone asked if it was hard to calm down on the next tee shot, the laid-back Johnson stared back blankly.

“I’m not very excited,” he said. “I’m going to go home and sleep.”

Moments later, he showed a large lump on his neck, the produce of swollen glands.

Johnson said he has an infection and began taking antibiotics on Wednesday. The finish was a good tonic in its own way.

Calc’s British Mark Calcavecchia doesn’t get in any other majors anymore unless they’re of the senior variety. That makes him appreciate his annual trip to the British Open even more.

Not to say Calcavecchia still can’t play a bit. His 69 in Thursday’s opening round would have been a good score even if he wasn’t a member of the Champions Tour.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

1999 team watching Americans with pride ————

Previous champs feel nostalgic during inspiring U.S. run to title game FRANKFURT, GERMANY (AP) — Lauren Cheney was just 11 during the 1999 World Cup, watching from the stands and imagining what it would be like to be on that field with Mia Hamm and Michelle Akers and Julie Foudy and Brandi Chastain.

Fast-forward a dozen years, and it’s Cheney’s turn in the spotlight.

And somewhere, there’s another young girl watching.

“She’s inspiring some 12- or 13-year-old girl just like she was inspired,” Chastain said Thursday. “That’s what I love about this team, they’re continuing the legacy.”

That 1999 World Cup was a watershed moment for the U.S. team. All of women’s sports, really. The players were part of the first generation to reap the full benefits of Title IX, and they took it one step further by making it cool for girls to play sports. They were adored by little girls and boys alike, so famous the players could go by just one name.

Mia. Brandi. Foudy.

They packed stadiums from coast to coast — and not small ones, either. Soldier Field. The Meadowlands.

Foxborough. And the granddaddy of them all, 90,000-plus in the Rose Bowl for the final.

They won, too, beating China in a penalty kick shootout to give the United States a second World Cup trophy.

“We showed where women’s athletics, women’s team sports, women’s soccer and soccer in general in America could go, and it was a tremendous event,” said Tony DiCicco, the coach of the ’99 team. “We didn’t realize totally what was happening outside the event. But it was life-changing. I think it was life-changing for a lot of people, including some of the athletes on the current team.”

As magnif icent as the team’s success was, though, it’s cast a long shadow on everyone who’s come after.

Every U.S. team is compared to the ’99 squad, and nobody’s

Sure, the Americans have won the last two Olympic gold medals. But the World Cup is soccer’s biggest prize, and the U.S. hasn’t even made the final in the 21st century.

Until now, that is.

The U.S. plays Japan in Sunday’s final (1:45 p.m., ESPN) with a chance to become the first country to win three World Cup titles.

“I’d be tired of (the comparisons), too, if I was them. That’s all they’ve heard for 12 years,” said Foudy, who is now ESPN’s lead analyst for the tournament. “What you hear from all of them is, ‘We just want to forge our own identity,’ which you can understand. Here’s a moment that the country can embrace this team and wrap their arms around this team and they have defined it.

Nobody did it for them.

“They’ve given this country such a reason to love them,” Foudy added. “You couldn’t have scripted this better for them.”

This U.S. team isn’t a polished, precise group that dis-

mantles opponents, the way the ’99 team was. The Americans arrived in Germany with three losses in a five-month span, what qualifies as an alarming “bad streak” for a U.S. team, and then lost a World Cup group-stage game for the first time.

But they grabbed their country’s attention with one thunderous header by Abby Wambach in the 122nd minute against Brazil, and have continued to charm the folks back home with grit, determination and colorful personalities. Their bandwagon is packed with Hollywood celebs and fellow athletes — not so packed there isn’t room for more, though — and one fan is so besotted with Megan Rapinoe he wrote a song for her. (Go ahead, check it out on YouTube.)

All these Americans are missing is the World Cup title, and they could take care of that on Sunday.

“It’s cool we’ve completely written our own story,” Cheney said. “Maybe we’re not the favorites. Maybe people doubted us. But we have pure hearts and determination, and we believe in each other so much.”

And no one is prouder than the members of that ’99 team.

“How could you not be proud of way they fought and found a way against Brazil?”

DiCicco asked. “We have a chance here to be the first country to win three World Cups. We think the team is in good hands.”

The core of the 1999 team was together for more than a decade, and those bonds have remained tight over the

With Foudy, DiCicco, Chastain, Hamm and Briana Scurry all here working for ESPN, and Kristine Lilly turning up at games as a fan, the World Cup has turned into something of a reunion tour.

As they marvel at what the Americans are doing, they can’t help but cherish their own accomplishments all over again.

“Sitting down together and reliving stories and laughing, this is what I feel is so special about the experience we had,” Chastain said. “This is what these players will be able to do 10 years, 20 years down the line. It’ll be a very special time in their lives. I love the fact that they’re going to say, ’We did that.’ That’s very, very precious.”

Though the ’99 players will

always have a presence with any U.S. team, captain Christie Rampone is the last one still on the field. She was still known as Christie Pearce back in 1999, just three years into her career with the national team. Now 36 and at the end of her career, she knows it won’t be long before some youngster comes along eager to escape her shadow.

That’s simply how life goes, on and off the field.

“It’s been an honor to play for both teams. To start my career winning a World Cup and to end it winning one would be absolutely amazing,” Rampone said. “It’s been special to be part of both. I was inspired by the old girls, the veterans in ’99, and now these young kids are inspiring me to get through this and win this one.”

Shaq Judge declares mistrial in Clemens case WAC joins TNT welcomes as studio Texasanalyst Arlington The Associated Press

The calls came as soon as Shaquille O’Neal decided to retire, all wanting to hire one of the NBA’s greatest entertainers.

TNT’s “Inside the NBA” studio show had been O’Neal’s favorite as a player, so the choice was easy.

Get ready for the Big Analyzer, Big Commentator, or whatever other nickname he takes in the next phase of his career.

O’Neal agreed Thursday to a multiyear deal with Turner Sports to become an analyst on its NBA O’Neal coverage, where he will fold his 7-foot-1 frame into the fourth chair on the TNT set alongside Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson.

“I’m just going to try to make it more fun than it already is,” O’Neal said during a conference call.

O’Neal also will contribute to NBA TV and NBA.com, and his agreement includes a development deal with Turner’s entertainment and animation networks.

O’Neal said he had offers from ABC/ESPN and others upon retiring last month, but quickly chose the Turner offer, saying he wasn’t interested in creating a bidding war for his services.

O’Neal was a four-time NBA champion during his 19year career.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Almost as soon as it began, former baseball star Roger Clemens’ perjury trial ended Thursday — in a mistrial the judge blamed on prosecutors and said a “first-year law student” would have known to avoid.

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton left the question of a new trial up in the air. But he called a halt to the trial under way after prosecutors showed jurors evidence that he had ruled out — videotaped revelations that a teammate had said he’d told his wife Clemens confessed to using a drug.

Walton scolded prosecutors and said he couldn’t let the former All-Star pitcher face prison if convicted on such “extremely prejudicial” evidence.

“Mr. Clemens has to get a fair trial,” Walton said. “In my view, he can’t get it now.”

Defense attorney Rusty Hardin, who had asked for the mistrial declaration, patted an unsmiling Clemens on the back as the judge announced his decision. As he left the courthouse, Clemens did not comment but accepted hugs from a couple of court workers, shook hands with the security guards and autographed baseballs for fans waiting outside.

The quick end on only the second day of testimony was the second mistrial involving a superstar player accused in baseball’s steroids scandal.

Home run king Barry Bonds was convicted three months ago of obstruction of justice, but a mistrial was called on three more serious falsestatements charges after jurors couldn’t agree on a verdict.

Walton said he would hold a hearing Sept. 2 to decide whether Clemens should face another trial. Hardin told reporters, “I wouldn’t even hazard a guess” about what Walton will decide.

FORMER MAJOR-LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHER ROGER CLEMENS LEAVES FEDERAL COURT after a judge declared a mistrial in his perjury trial Thursday in Washington.

Walton could end the prosecution by declaring that a new trial would run afoul of double jeopardy — the right not to be brought to trial twice on the same charges for the same offense. But experts said it was unlikely that he would go that far, especially since the trial was just under way.

“Generally speaking, mistrial does not bar a trial of the defendant when the defendant requested the mistrial,” said Harry Sandick, a former prosecutor who now defends white-collar cases. He said a judge may make an exception for misconduct on the part of prosecutors, but this appears to have been a simple yet devastating mistake.

“How could the government not have reviewed each piece of evidence after the court’s pretrial rulings?” he

said. “This is crucially important, and prosecutors have to do this all the time.”

New York Yankees star shortstop Derek Jeter, once a teammate of Clemens’, said after the mistrial was declared: “I’m no legal expert, but you want it to be behind him. Obviously, the more attention that’s paid to that, it’s just negative for the game in general.”

The U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, which tried the case, said it would have no comment because of Walton’s gag order. Clemens also stayed mum.

“I’m not going to say anything,” Clemens said as he left the courthouse. He and his legal team ducked into a nearby restaurant to escape the media horde following him.

The Clemens mistrial was

the biggest embarrassment for the Justice Department in a high-profile case since the prosecution of Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, in which the government failed to turn over evidence favorable to the defense. That failure, two years ago, was so serious that Attorney General Eric Holder stepped in and asked a federal judge to throw out Stevens’ convictions. The judge did so.

The unraveling of the current case began as prosecutors were showing jurors a video of Clemens’ 2008 testimony before Congress. He is accused of lying under oath during that testimony when he said he never used performance-enhancing drugs during his 24-season career.

Clemens’ former teammate and close friend, Andy Pettitte, had told committee investigators that Clemens confessed in 1999 or 2000 that he used human growth hormone. Clemens has said Pettitte “misremembers” or “misheard” their conversation.

Prosecutors had wanted to call Laura Pettitte as a witness to back up her husband’s account because she says her husband told her about the conversation the day it happened. But Walton had said Laura Pettitte’s statement wasn’t admissible since it didn’t involve direct knowledge of what Clemens said.

In the video prosecutors showed the jury, Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., referred to Pettitte’s conversation with his wife during the questioning of Clemens. Walton quickly cut off the tape and called attorneys to the bench for a private conversation for several minutes. The video remained frozen on the screen in front of jurors with a transcript of what was being said on the bottom.

Cummings had been quoting from Laura Pettitte’s affidavit to the committee.

ARLINGTON, TEXAS (AP) — The Western Athletic Conference is back in business in the Dallas-Fort Worth area — only not in football.

Having lost TCU and SMU years ago, the WAC returned Thursday by adding one of the lesser-known institutions in the region, Texas-Arlington.

WAC officials approached UTA two weeks ago, and everything clicked. The final step came Thursday with the board of regents for the University of Texas system voting to accept an invitation.

The WAC is going through a major renovation. With Fresno State, Hawaii and Nevada leaving after the upcoming season, membership was down to only five schools before a recruiting effort that has landed Seattle, Denver, Texas State and Texas-San Antonio, and now UTA for membership starting in the 2012-13 school year.

Only seven of those 10 members play football, with UTA among those that don’t.

WAC Commissioner Karl Benson said he’ll be looking for two more football playing schools in hopes of having a 12-team league with nine football programs. He’s also hoping that UTA considers reviving football; the Mavericks ceased their program in 1985.

For UTA, jumping from the Southland Conference to the WAC is part of a decade-long campaign to raise the school’s stature in every way, UTA President James D. Spaniolo said.

UTSA and Texas State also are going from the Southland to the WAC.

Try developing some relaxation techniques to de-stress.

Make sure to get sufficient nutrition and exercise during the day. Talk to your friends about what worries you.

If she had an abortion, it must have been enormously difficult for her, and her current beliefs would undoubtedly make it a shameful part of her life.

We cannot imagine what prompted you to bring up the subject, or why you felt it necessary that she admit something that obviously made her uncomfortable. This was a painful and very private experience that does not concern you. Please let her deal with her past in her own way.

Universal Crossword Edited by Timothy E. Parker July 15, 2011

Dear Annie: I’m in junior high, and I have a serious problem. I’m terrified of the future. I’m always worrying about what high school will

Audrey is beside herself on ‘Haven’ Syfy dramas have cornered the market on wacky places. “Warehouse 13” houses civilization’s most mysterious and legendary relics. “Eureka” takes place in a town of geniuses, and “Haven” (9 p.m.) is the most peculiar place in the quirky state of Maine — or at least Stephen King’s version of his home state.

Last season, FBI agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) traveled to Haven on a relatively humdrum investigation, and all heck has been breaking loose ever since. Lucky for her, she has the help of Nathan (Lucas Bryant), a local cop whose sheriff father just exploded in a paranormal accident, and of the local bad boy Duke (Eric Balfour).

As season two begins, Audrey and Nathan come across a pretty woman with a gun and a badge claiming to be FBI agent Audrey Parker.

Things get stranger still when the new Audrey appears to know deep, dark, unspoken secrets from “real” Audrey’s past and the two women start finishing each other’s sentences. It’s a good thing for AudreyAudrey that she/they have some distractions, such as a series of biblical plagues descending on the tourist island. There’s nothing like thousands of dead frogs falling from the sky and pummeling your car’s rooftop to take your mind off your troubles. ● Tonight marks the series finale of “Friday Night Lights” (7 p.m., NBC). The acclaimed series wraps up with a 90minute episode that includes a game with big stakes and many personal choices with life-altering consequences.

At a time when television programming has become a question of marketing to specific genders and niche demographics, “Friday Night Lights” tried to tell the great American small-town story with a curious indifference to TV trends. It artfully and audaciously combined sports drama with soap opera in ways that apparently alienated fans of both genres.

As a result, it reached only a minuscule audience of devoted followers. The same could be said of other memorable series, movies and novels.

Ten years from now, people will be discovering “Friday Night Lights” for the first time and wondering why they don’t make great shows like that anymore.

Tonight’s other highlights ● A wayward bullet sparks an antipolice riot on “Flashpoint” (7 p.m., CBS). ● A brash immigrant (Al Pacino) conquers a drug market only to lose his life in the hyper-violent and influential gangster film “Scarface” (7 p.m., AMC). The dialogue in this film is so extremely profane that the dubbing for basic cable adds an awkward touch of unintentional comedy. ● A shirtless Harry Hamlin pleases and defies the gods in the 1981 fantasy “Clash of the Titans” (8 p.m., BBC America), costarring Laurence Olivier, Claire Bloom and Maggie Smith. ● Missing sailors need help on “Whale Wars” (8 p.m., Animal Planet). ● Blood on the fashion runway on “Blue Bloods” (9 p.m., CBS). ● The community raises funds for a cure on “Swamp Loggers” (9 p.m., Discovery). ● Jack mulls vulnerability on “Torchwood” (9 p.m., Starz).

Dear Annie: I need advice on what to do about my niece.

She is 39 and has no relationship with her mother (my sister).

About 20 years ago, this niece confided to me that she had had an abortion. I respected her confidentiality and kept the information private. I never again discussed this incident with my niece, until the other day when I mentioned it to her. She immediately denied that she had ever said such a thing. I told her I remember the conversation vividly. She claims I must be confused. But I have never mixed up conversations and recollections in my entire life.

In attempting to get her to open up again, I proceeded to tell her that I had had an abortion, as well. My niece has recently become a born-again Christian, so I thought that might be why she is denying this unfortunate experience.

The problem is, I feel my relationship with her has changed. I now view her as a liar. I am contemplating ending contact and telling her I am doing so because I believe she had an abortion and is lying to me. What should I do?

— Unhappy Aunt
