OTTAWA — With about three days left to build, crews are hustling to complete the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” house in Ottawa.

Over Tuesday night, round-theclock workers assembled the basic shell of the home.

The quick work impressed 78year-old Overland Park volunteer Mary Alice Geise, who has helped out on the house the past two days.

“I came back this morning and here was this house,” Geise said Wednesday.

Ultra-precise radiation therapy now available in Lawrence Lawrence Cancer Center now offers a high-dose radiation therapy treatment for people with specific types of cancer.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy, or SBRT, uses millimeter precision to target tumors while sparing critical surrounding organs or tissue.

For example, a tumor in the lung can be difficult to treat because the tumor can move during breathing. With SBRT, a patient’s body and head are posi-

The search for a solution to the woes at the Kaw Water Treatment Plant continues as City Hall leaders confirmed that the hot weather pushed the city close to its water treatment capacity earlier this week.

City officials pumped 24.9 million gallons of water Tuesday. Originally, leaders with the city’s Utilities Department thought that was a new water treatment record for the city. But further digging found that the city pumped 28.3 million gallons one hot day during the summer of 2003.

That record won’t fall anytime soon.

The city can’t pump 28 million gallons of water right now. Officials estimate 25 million gallons is close to the city’s capacity.

The city’s water treatment system continues to be operating at reduced levels as plant operators work to figure out why the Kaw Water Treatment Plant is struggling to draw water from the Kansas River.

The city already has committed to spend at least $200,000 in emergency repairs at the Kaw plant, but much more money is on the way. City commissioners at Tuesday’s meeting gave preliminary approval for a 2 percent increase in water rates. Part of that rate money will be used to finance a $7 million project to build a second intake at the plant.

Kansas University will dramatically change the way it offers scholarships to incoming freshmen, putting more of a focus on four-year renewable scholarships and letting students know upfront what level of aid they can expect based on their high school GPA and standardized test scores.

The new scholarships, KU leaders say, are designed to attract new students to KU. “It’s a good Gray-Little program. It’s where we want to go,” said KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. “We want to use our funding to pool more of it so that it not only helps the students, but also helps us in terms of who we want to recruit.”

The effort matches her goals to not just recruit high-quality students, but to retain them, too, because the scholarships are available for four years only, she said.

“Graduating in four years becomes more important,” she said.

To put more scholarship money in renewable scholarships available for freshmen, KU

right now,” said Dave Wagner, the city’s director of utilities.

The plant, near Third and Indiana streets, is operating with just one Kaw River intake. The other intake has been inoperable for several years. But within the last month, the remaining intake has been experiencing periodic blockage that has prevented the intake from drawing water into the plant.

“We did whatever it took,” said Grob, who estimated that they donated about $15,000 in labor and materials for the project.

planning that is required. A number of tests, including a CT scan, are integrated in a computer system to figure out the precise location to apply the high dose of radiation.

The center uses body-sized medical bean bags to memorize a patient’s position while comfortably lying down.

These bags are then hardened and used to immobilize the patient during treatments.

“There’s no question that when you come back here, it’s intimidating. It’s overwhelming and there’s certain anxiety that the patients will feel,” he said.

The staff’s goal is to make the patients feel as comfortable as possible and to help put them at ease.

Klish said the treatment, which has been around for 10 years, has proved to be effective. Doctors are seeing a 90 percent cure rate, which is equal to having a lumpectomy, he said.

“It is becoming standard care for patients who are inoperable,” he said.

Wagner told Lawrence city commissioners that the city has hired a diver to go beneath the water and visually inspect the intake pipe. That work is scheduled for mid-August, but the city is trying to get it done sooner.

That’s because with the hot weather, the city’s other water treatment plant — the Clinton Treatment Plant off Wakarusa Drive — is operating at capacity.

The Clinton plant has been running at its design capacity of about 20 million gallons of water per day. City crews are using a temporary pump installed in the Kansas River to operate the Kaw plant at about 5 million gallons per day. It has a normal capacity of 17 million gallons.

Jeanette Klamm, a spokeswoman for the Utilities Department, said operating the Clinton Plant at its maximum capacity is similar to running a car near its top speed for an extended period of time. But Klamm said the city is still optimistic that residents won’t be asked to curtail their water usage in the coming days.

“Barring another mechanical breakdown, we’re hopeful that it won’t come to that,” Klamm said. “Right now, we are prepared for the worst, but we’re not expecting to have to take those types of steps.”

The city already has committed to spend at least $200,000 in emergency repairs at the Kaw plant, but much more money is on the way. City commissioners at Tuesday’s meeting gave preliminary approval for a 2 percent increase in water rates.

Part of that rate money will be used to finance a $7 million project to build a second intake at the plant.

City Manager David Corliss told commissioners he believed the project had risen to the level of an absolute necessity.

“It is work that is necessary to keep the system operational and to ensure that we have adequate water pressure throughout the community,” Corliss said.

But Corliss said many of the details of the $7 million project are unknown currently. He said the recent problems at the plant have raised questions about whether it would be wise to rebuild the intake at its current location. There are concerns that changes in the river may no longer make that particular spot feasible.

Corliss said the city may have to look for another location or explore other technological solutions. He said some dredging might be an option.

“We’re going to get consulting engineers in place rapidly to look at all the options,” Corliss said. “We don’t know all the contours of the project, but we know we need more than one intake.”

Syrian army shells Hama Syrian tanks stormed Hama under heavy shelling Wednesday, taking over a main square at the heart of the restive city and cutting off electricity, water and phone lines on the fourth day of an offensive.

The U.N. Security Council added its weight to the growing international outcry, condemning the attacks on civilians.

Opposition figures and activists accused the regime of striking hard at a moment when world and media attention were distracted by the trial in Egypt of former President Hosni Mubarak.

“Hama is being collectively punished for its peaceful protests calling for the downfall of Bashar Assad,” said Suheir Atassi, a prominent pro-democracy activist. Like many others Syria-based activists, Atassi has gone largely into hiding and spoke to The Associated Press via email. “The Syrian regime is committing crimes against humanity. Where are the free people of the world?” she said.

At least three tanks took up positions in Hama’s central Assi square, which in recent weeks had been the site of carnival-like demonstrations by hundreds of thousands of protesters calling for the downfall of President Assad’s regime.

Back-to-back bombs kill 9 Two bombs targeting police exploded in the western Iraqi city of Ramadi on Wednesday, killing nine people and wounding 13, Iraqi officials said.

The bombs exploded in central Ramadi, with the second one going off just steps away from the first after police and other people gathered on the scene.

Staggering the blasts is a common tactic by insurgents who hope to lure in rescuers and onlookers with the first blast to maximize the carnage with the second explosion.

Jasim al-Halbusi, head of the Anbar provincial council, said the blasts went off about 6 p.m. He said one of the dead was a policeman and three of the injured were police officers.

Obama hits campaign trail Trying to make up for lost time, President Barack Obama plunged back into his re-election campaign Wednesday, urging supporters not to be discouraged by the frustrating debt negotiations that consumed Washington and kept him from raising money for his 2012 bid.

On the eve of his 50th birthday, Obama spoke to donors at two fundraisers at the historic Aragon Ballroom, and via video conference to supporters at more than 1,000 house parties from coast to coast.

The fundraisers were held as Obama’s presidential campaign lowered expectations for how much money it would bring in this summer, in part because the campaign had to cancel 10 events while the president and his staff were stuck in Washington for the showdown over raising the government’s debt limit.

Obama’s quick stop in Chicago was his first trip outside the Washington region in more than a month.

Anthony won’t have to return yet Casey Anthony can continue her undercover life for now, after a judge ruled Wednesday she does not have to immediately return to Florida to start serving her probation for check fraud.

A hearing on her probation was set for Friday, Judge Belvin Perry said. Anthony won’t have to show up for that either.

A different judge ordered Anthony to report to Florida today for her probation, but the judge later recused himself and turned the case over to Perry, who presided over Anthony’s murder trial.

Anthony has been out of the public eye since she was acquitted last month in the death of her 2-yearold daughter, Caylee. The jury’s decision angered many people online and elsewhere, and threats were made on Anthony’s life. She vanished after leaving jail July 17.

Anthony’s attorneys said local authorities would have to provide security if she was forced to return.

To back up that claim, they included a flier in their arguments that showed a doctored photo of Anthony with a bullet mark on her forehead. Underneath the photo reads in part: “With a forehead that big, the headshot will be easier.”

Kutcher will play Internet billionaire Ashton Kutcher will play “an Internet billionaire with a broken heart” when he arrives as the new star of “Two and a Half Men” next month.

CBS Entertainment Nina Tassler shared this tidbit about the much-anticipated cast change for TV’s biggest sitcom during a session with television reporters on Wednesday. Kutcher, of course, will fill the void left by Charlie Sheen, who made a stormy exit from “Men” last season.

Kutcher’s character will be named Walden Schmidt, confided the CBS boss, who added that Schmidt has no family connection to the characters played by continuing stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones. They portrayed the brother and nephew of Sheen’s departed character.

Tassler would not confirm or deny reports that the new season of “Men” begins with the death of Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, and a funeral.

“The mystery is part of the marketing,” she said.

“Men” begins its ninth season Sept. 19 with the first of a two-part kickoff that establishes Kutcher’s character.

time visitor to the United States, and she’s already chosen the word that best describes it: “big.”

“Everything is so big — the schools and the food,” said Asami, 16.

She is one of 18 students from Lawrence’s sister city Hiratsuka, Japan, in town this week. She’s here as part of an exchange program allowing middle and high school students from Japan to spend time in Lawrence and vice versa.

She and other Hiratsuka students arrived July 29 and will stay until Sunday. They have already seen a number of area attractions, including Allen Fieldhouse, Free State High School and Central Junior High School. On Monday, they met with Lawrence City Commissioner Bob Schumm at City Hall and visited the Japanese Friendship Garden at 1045 Mass., which their city helped plan and to which it donated $5,000 and two pieces of art.

Ryusei Mizusawa, 15, said that Lawrence was “very beautiful” and that his favorite part of America so far was a trip to Worlds of Fun. Each year, about 20 Lawrence middle and high school students travel to Hiratsuka and one of Lawrence’s other sister cities, Eutin, Germany. To prepare, students

— Kyonosuke Yasuda, who works for the city of Hiratsuka spend nine months taking monthly culture and language classes before making the trip.

“We learned how to communicate with them,” said 14-yearold Anna Clayton, who went on the Hiratsuka trip in June.

She added that many of the Japanese students spoke English, which made communication easier.

“When we went to the elementary school, they all wanted our autographs,” said Jet Stream Secretary Lizzy Smith, 16. “They liked the way we wrote cursive.”

Though Lizzy went on the trip last year, she was able to stay involved with the program through a new club, Lawrence Jet Stream. The club, which is sponsored by the Lawrence Sister Cities Advisory Board, allows alumni from previous trips help train the next batch of students. They got the idea from a Jet Stream club in Hiratsuka, which was made up of Japanese students who had visited Lawrence.

“Before, it felt like we threw our whole hearts into it, and there was no way to stay involved,” said Amanda P uentes, chairwoman of Lawrence Jet Stream, who

went on the trip in 2004. “Now alumni can continue to build a relationship with friends and host families in Hiratsuka.”

About 400 people have participated in the student exchange program to Japan since 1991.

Jennie Ellis, one of the Lawrence Jet Stream’s organizers, said alumni interested in participating in the program should get in touch via email at lawrencejetstream@yahoo.co m.

Before the Hiratsuka students return to Japan, the group plans to visit the Capitol in Topeka and the Oz Museum in Wamego. Though the trip is designed for Hiratsuka’s youths, they aren’t the only ones who feel they have gained something from the exchange program.

“I am really touched by the people here,” said Kyonosuke Yasuda, who works for the city of Hiratsuka and is one of three chaperones on the trip. “I hope the trip will help strengthen the relationship between our cities.”

Douglas County commissioners gathered behind closed doors Wednesday evening for yet another session to discuss progress toward a potential deal intended to retain a home in Lawrence for SRS services.

Six joined county coun- Six selor Evan Ice, a colleague in the Stevens and Brand law firm, in meeting in executive session with commissioners and County Administrator Craig Weinaug for 70 minutes at the Douglas County Courthouse.

Douglas County commissioners Wednesday evening unanimously approved the rezoning of about 209 acres of rural property for use as a rural retreat.

The decision followed the voicing of concerns regarding the project by a handful of county residents. Among those concerns were increased traffic, increased hunting activity and a departure from the rural character of the area, which is located in the 700 block of East COUNTY 1300 Road.

COMMISSION “If there isn’t some way to restrict hunting, to preserve the guys who live there, then I think there ought to be some way to come to an agreement,” said county resident Bill Mitchell, whose property sits just west of the proposed future retreat. Other residents called the hunting activity and an assumed increase of hunters “dangerous” and “not good.”

The land is currently zoned as agricultural, which allows hunting there. Residents in attendance Wednesday said they regularly hear gunshots from

SOUND OFF

Q:

I saw that the KU football team was in Dallas recently participating in the Big 12's media days event. Don't the Jayhawks have a similar event of their own, and, if so, when is that?

A:

KU does host its own football media day each year. It's only open to the media and it usually runs for a few hours. Players and coaches are made available for interviews and photos throughout the afternoon as print, radio and television crews gather all the information they need to begin previewing the upcoming season. This year's event is Tuesday. The Jayhawks open the 2011 season against McNeese State on Sept. 3 at home.

Kobach to resume push for earlier start date on voter ID laws

By John Milburn Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Secretary of State Kris Kobach said Wednesday he will renew a push next year to move up the start date for new Kansas voter identification laws.

Kobach said he would like to have people registering to vote for the first time in Kansas show proof of citizenship starting in March Kobach 2012, not January 2013 as the law now requires. He spoke before a meeting of a task force working on implementing the new law.

The secretary of state said the goal was to prevent any non-U.S. citizens from registering to vote in Kansas and spoiling the integrity of the state’s elections. The sooner Kansas can begin verifying citizenship, the more secure the elections will be, he argues.

“That’s really the main legislative change I would like to see,” the Republican said.

“That way, the bulk of the registrations in the 2012 cycle will be properly analyzed for citizenship.”

A bill that would have made that change was proposed during the 2011 legislative session, but was defeated after the initial law was passed.

He said with the effective date moved up, it would be easier to prevent non-citizens or other ineligible people from voting.

impossible to find the people once they’re on the rolls of almost a million voters,” Kobach. “For us to find that individual is searching for a needle in a very, very large haystack.”

The new laws also require voters to show photo identification at the polls beginning in January 2012. Kobach has said he hopes to have regulations drafted by this fall.

Critics have argued that efforts to require proof of citizenship or showing photo identification will suppress voter turnout, particularly among Democrats and minority populations.

Kobach disputed that.

“These rules are designed to ensure that everybody has the right to vote and that everybody can vote,” he said.

“If somebody forgets their photo ID on election day, there will be a very clear process for how you rectify that situation.”

A 17-member task force is reviewing the law and developing forms, policies and regulations to implement it before the 2012 election cycle.

The task force is also developing the policies and procedures that election officials and poll workers will use on election day and when people register to vote.

For example, the rules will tell election workers what to do when photos on people’s IDs look nothing like them.

Kobach said the task force has also found areas where eff iciencies and uniform practices can be implemented, such as common forms or envelopes used by all 105 counties.

“This gives us a chance to sort of revisit all these basic issues,” Kobach said.

Douglas County prosecutors said a 26-year-old woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend Tuesday night in east Lawrence had a significant past criminal history, including a pending drug possession case and several misdemeanor theft convictions in Lawrence, Manhattan and Salina.

Prosecutors charged Misty Durae Crook, who had a Gardner address listed in jail records but said she lived in Lawrence, with aggravated battery, aggravated intimidation of a victim and criminal restraint Wednesday afternoon.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said officers arrested Crook on Wednesday morning after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend during an altercation in the 1200 block of Almira Avenue in east Lawrence.

Sarna said officers were called about 12:30 a.m.

Wednesday to Lawrence Memorial Hospital’s emergency room where a 25-yearold Lawrence man was taken

ON THE RECORD LJWORLD.COM/BLOTTER

by a private vehicle. The man told police his girlfriend stabbed him. According to court records, Crook is accused of using a knife and intimidating her boyfriend not to tell police about it.

Sarna said the man suffered injuries to his torso and elbow, but they were not believed to be life-threatening.

Crook denied the new charges Wednesday and said she was working on getting her pending drug case dismissed.

Legal intern Samantha Clark, of the district attorney’s office, said prosecutors believed the incident might have arisen out of alcohol or drug use.

“I know (the judge is) not asking if I’m guilty or not, but I’m not,” Crook said while appearing via video from the jail.

James George, the county’s pro-tem judge, set Crook’s bond at $7,500 cash or surety and ordered her to have no further contact with the victim. She is next due to court Monday.

LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORT BIRTHS • A 24-year-old Lawrence man reported to Lawrence police Tuesday that someone stole his Honda motorcycle valued at $3,000 from the 4100 block of West 24th Place. The theft occurred between 9:30 p.m.

realigned some of its existing funds to front-load more scholarship money.

Lisa Pinamonti Kress, KU’s director of admissions, said a number of elements will help her recruit students. Recruits are frequently asking her how much scholarship money is available and how much of it is renewable.

“With the state of the economy, we’ve definitely heard that students and parents would like to know what it costs for the entire four years,” she said.

The new scholarships, paired with KU’s four-year guaranteed tuition compact, allow them to do that, she said.

Now, if students know their high school GPA and their standardized test scores, they’ll know how much money they’ll get, and they’ll get a letter within two weeks of being admitted, she said.

The deadline to be considered for scholarships has been moved up slightly, to Nov. 1 from Dec. 1, she said.

And gone are those scholarship essays that students had to write in the past, Kress said, along with a resume-like form that listed all the extracurricular activities a student had participated in.

Before the change, KU had four-year renewable scholarships, but they were mostly reserved for the highest-

achieving students, she said.

Today, most of KU’s scholarships are one-time awards with an average of about $1,000 or $1,500, she said.

Funds that supported those scholarships will be redirected to the new renewable scholarships, she said.

Those “signing bonuses” didn’t align with KU’s desire to link recruitment with retention of students, said Matt Melvin, KU’s associate vice provost for recruitment and enrollment.

To secure other funding for the new program, Melvin said KU made a number of other changes to its existing scholarships. A scholarship for perfect ACT scores was eliminated.

The criteria to renew the scholarships were strengthened, with the KU GPA requirement moving from 3.25 to 3.4. And KU worked with schools and departments to use funds that had been reserved for awards for upperclassmen.

Some of the out-of-state awards will be financed using tuition waivers.

He said KU would also be offering assistance to lowincome families that qualify for federal Pell Grants. If Kansas students meet minimum academic standards, KU would use a combination of grants and scholarships to provide payment for full tuition and fees for four years for those students, he said.

They would also have to meet academic standards each year to keep the scholarship.

“It’s going to ensure not

only that the best and brightest are going to come to KU; it’s going to ensure that that best and brightest are going to come to KU regardless of their ability to pay,” Melvin said.

KU officials plan to launch an affordability website for prospective students soon.

Dale Seuferling, president and CEO of the KU Endowment Association, said mostly existing funds were being used to support the new scholarships. For example, two of KU’s existing renewable scholarships, the Summerfield and Watkins-Berger scholarships, would no longer exist moving forward.

But the funds that support them would still be used to provide money for the highestlevel renewable award given to Kansas residents, he said. And students will still receive a letter that informs them which donor was responsible for their scholarship.

And as KU continues with its comprehensive fundraising campaign, now in the silent stage, acquiring new funds for scholarships will remain a priority, he said. The new scholarships will allow them to show donors the emphasis KU is placing on renewable scholarships.

“It really provides, I think, a much more efficient and marketable program that will be better understood by parents and the students,” he said.

But the suspect ran through a wooded area. Officers called off their search about 2 a.m. and resumed it later Wednesday morning. Herrig said the man showed up at the hospital in Winchester 11 miles north of Oskaloosa, and officers later arrested the man in the Winchester area.

One, two, tree: Arboreous audit under way

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

ONLINE: Watch the video at SunflowerHorizons.com

Oaks, pines, maples and a dozen other species of trees grace the west side of South Park. In all, there are close to 150 of them.

On Wednesday morning, city of Lawrence horticulturist Paul Baumchen and intern Kate Boysen wandered through the park gathering information on each tree as they went. With a handheld digital measuring device, Baumchen calculated the trees’ diameters and heights.

Boysen was marking their coordinates into a geographic information system. The data would all be incorporated into a digital map.

The information is part of a citywide tree audit and is intended to help the Parks and Recreation department better maintain the city’s inventory of more than 25,000 trees.

“This will help us manage our resources here in Lawrence better if we know what we have in terms of the size of the tree, the condition of the trees, how many trees we have,” said Rod Croucher,

SUNLIGHT PEEKS THROUGH THE LEAVES as horticulturist Paul Baumchen with Lawrence Parks and Recreation takes tree measurements with horticulture intern Kate Boysen as a part of a tree-auditing project Wednesday in South Park.

City officials explained that the audit is planned for the next five years to take count of what they believe is more than 25,000 trees in city parks and along streets to provide a sense of where to devote resources for maintenance. who is the city’s downtown horticulturist supervisor and city assistant forester.

The inventory is the first of its kind in Lawrence, and Croucher said few cities the size of Lawrence do one. The city plans to map all of its trees in parks, along streets and in its rights-of-way.

Along with tracking the size of the tree, the inventory will note if there is deadwood, cavities, a root problem or if it needs to be pruned.

“Once we find all this out, we can do maintenance reports off this and see where we really need to go in town,” Croucher said.

With a slew of pine trees dying from diseases and mature trees suffering from old age, the city is losing more trees than it’s gaining, Croucher said. And the inventory will help establish a priority list for what trees should be treated first.

The city spent $10,000 on equipment and software to help them kick-start the audit. It should take more than five years before all of the city’s estimated 25,000 trees are accounted for.

Having a detailed tree inventory will come in handy should a natural disaster occur. The city can turn the list into the Federal Emergency Management Agency and receive money for those trees that are damaged or lost.

“It places a value on the trees, how much these trees are really worth to the city,” Croucher said of the inventory.

hunters in the area. County Commissioner Jim Flory, who lives on rural county property, noted that the county’s governing body is not allowed to regulate the activity, per decisions made in the courts. The rezoning, which required unanimous approval because of a valid petition from concerned residents, will classify the land for rural tourism.

The proposed retreat could include horse paths, walking and hiking trails, and as many as 13 cabins. The facilities could also include a 12,000square-foot conference center with potential for hosting corporate retreats.

Project representatives argued the increased activity could decrease the overall population of hunters in the area, as extra precautions would have to be taken with more people on the property.

While the commission’s decision allows the project to move forward, the commissioners still maintain control of the proceedings. Any site plan proposals are required to appear before the County Commission for approval,

Six, a Democrat, didn’t enter Wednesday’s discussions for his political acumen, commissioners said.

They’re relying on him and others at Stevens and Brand to help steer through the SRS issue and its legal complications, including potential lawsuits.

“For us, its a community challenge involving 10 percent of our population,” said Commissioner Nancy Thellman, a Democrat. “It’s neither Democrat nor Republican.

It’s a human challenge, and we’re looking forward to working with the state to find a resolution.”

haven’t followed through with them.

“The lack of trust here is huge, because their followthrough hasn’t been good. …

This is just another example of the heartburn of the whole thing.”

The district actually has a building permit for the enclosure, and B.A. Green only stopped after it became clear, once the Lion logo had been installed, that they’d also need a permit for signs.

Typically the city issues a building permit for a structure, then a contractor — typically a sign company — comes in to get a permit for signs. This time, however, a single contractor was doing the entire project, and city officials didn’t advise them that they’d also need a sign permit.

“It’s partly our fault,” said Scott McCullough, the city’s planning director. “They thought they had approval for the whole thing.”

Lawrence, the Lawrence Jewish Community Center and others will speak briefly on the obligation to vulnerable residents.

Plymouth Senior Pastor Peter Luckey noted that the event will be held at the same time as a highly publicized prayer event in Houston that Brownback may be attending at the invitation of Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

“As our governor goes to Texas to pray with Rick Perry, faith leaders in Lawrence gather to give voice to what we have in common: concern for the most vulnerable,” Luckey said.

In June, Brownback said he accepted Perry’s invitation to the event, called “The Response,” which has generated criticism because some of the groups involved with the prayer session are antigay. In recent days, Brownback’s staff has declined to conf irm whether he was going, saying that he would be on vacation and the event is on his calendar.

Brownback and SRS Secretary Robert Siedlecki Jr. have said that the Lawrence SRS office should be closed to save money and that clients who use the office can access services online or travel to

side the public eye for the third time in four business days to grapple with the SRS situation — one in which the state’s Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services has announced plans to close its Lawrence offices at 1900 Del. and 1901 Del. in a costcutting move expected to save $400,000 a year, most of it in rent.

Half of the money comes from the federal government, and county leaders have been meeting and consulting with a variety of elected officials and others to see if they can find a way to meet the state’s cost-savings needs while retaining the SRS operation in Lawrence.

The official justification for each of the three executive sessions thus far has been for commissioners and Craig Weinaug to consult with their attorneys regarding issues they deem privileged under the attorney-client relation-

ship.

Translation: They’re trying to come up with a deal that works.

“The possibility of a lawsuit and the terms in the various contractual commitments and the ability of the state to break contracts is intrinsic to this discussion,” Weinaug said. “The possibility of a lawsuit in this situation — for several parties, including us — is more than just academic and theoretic. It is very, very real.”

What might result from the executive sessions remains uncertain, but a key intent — in support of retaining SRS services and personnel in Lawrence — is clear.

“If we succeed in our efforts, you won’t see a lawsuit,” Weinaug said. “That’s our goal.”

That’s why the district and B.A. Green now must seek a variance.

The district also wants to install lights on the sign, so that folks walking up to the stadium or otherwise passing by the complex could see the name and logo at night. The signs would face 19th Street, which carries 14,000 vehicles a day.

Bedridden and caged, Mubarak goes on trial New administrator BALDWIN CITY

By Hamza Hendawi Associated Press Writer

CAIRO — From a bed inside the defendants’ cage, an ashen-faced Hosni Mubarak showed a glimmer of his old def iance. Egypt’s former president wagged his finger in the air and denied all charges against him Wednesday as he went on trial for alleged corruption and complicity in the deaths of protesters who helped drive him from power.

The spectacle, watched live on state television by millions of Egyptians, calmed the fury of those who suffered under his rule — some of them parents of children gunned down during the uprising that toppled the longtime president.

The father of a slain protester, among those sweltering in the heat outside the courtroom on the third day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, was ecstatic.

“The biggest achievement of this revolution is that all these crooks and scum are in a cage,” said Mohammed Mustafa El-Aqqad. “We’re here to tell Hosni, ‘Happy Ramadan. Congratulations on your new cage.’”

The ailing 83-year-old Mubarak lay on a hospital bed as his sons, one-time heir

Egyptian State TV Photo

THIS VIDEO IMAGE taken from Egyptian State Television shows 83-year-old Hosni Mubarak lying on a hospital bed inside a cage of mesh and iron bars in a Cairo courtroom Wednesday as his historic trial began on charges of corruption and ordering the killing of protesters during the uprising that ousted him. The scene, shown live on Egypt’s state TV, was Egyptians’ first look at their former president since Feb. 10. apparent Gamal and wealthy businessman Alaa, stood protectively beside him, at times trying to shield their father from the camera and hundreds of spectators. Dressed in white prison uniforms, the two younger Mubaraks denied charges of corruption.

The sight of Mubarak lying helplessly in bed inside the grim metal and wire cage was a stunning moment for Egyptians — and for a region known more for its presidents-for-life and absolute monarchs than democracy or accountability.

With Arab Spring revolts sweeping the Middle East, the sight of Mubarak during Wednesday’s hearing could serve as a powerful cautionary tale for other autocratic leaders who have long acted as if they alone were fit to rule. From Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi to Syria’s Bashar Assad and Yemen’s Ali Abdullah Saleh, the lesson of Mubarak’s predicament may be very simple: Don’t lose.

People watching the spectacle across the region proclaimed it a watershed.

“This is the beginning of democracy in the Arab world,” declared Rabha Idris, an engineer from Libya, where the uprising against Gadhafi’s rule is into its seventh month.

“This is a new era,” enthused Zainab Hassan, a 22-year-old university student from Bahrain, a tiny Gulf Arab nation whose Muslim Shiite majority is demanding equality with the Sunni minority. “The people now believe they can be free from dictatorship.”

Many in Egypt savored the humiliation of the man who ruled with unquestionable power for 29 years, during which opponents were tortured, corruption was rife, poverty was widespread and political life was stifled.

With skepticism that Egypt’s military rulers would allow one of their own — a former air force commander and a war hero — to be prosecuted in front of the world, the scene went a long way toward satisfying a key demand that has united protesters since Feb. 11, when Mubarak fell following an 18day uprising.

“This is the dream of Egyptians, to see him like this, humiliated like he humiliated them for the last 30 years,” said Ghada Ali, the mother of a 17-year old girl in the city of Alexandria who was shot to death during the crackdown.

“I want to see their heart explode like my daughter’s heart exploded from their single bullet,” she said, breaking down in sobs.

Still, the sight of Mubarak being wheeled into the courtroom in a hospital bed may win him some sympathy, said lawyer Fathy Abul-Hassan, who represents several victims’ families.

“The defense strategy is to milk whatever sympathy Egyptians may still have for an 83-year-old, bedridden leader. It is an obvious ruse,” he said, standing next to the father of a 22-year-old protester killed in Cairo on Jan. 28.

Two moons? It’s not lunacy, but new theory

By Seth Borenestein

THIS ARTIST’S RENDERING shows a simulation of a collision between the moon and a companion moon, four percent of the lunar mass, about 4 billion years ago.

Earth once had a second moon, until it made the fatal mistake of smacking its big sister, some astronomers now theorize.

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON — In a spectacle that might have beguiled poets, lovers and songwriters if only they had been around to see it, Earth once had two moons, astronomers now think. But the smaller one smashed into the other in what is being called the “big splat.”

The result: Our planet was left with a single bulked-up and ever-so-slightly lopsided moon.

The astronomers came up with the scenario to explain why the moon’s far side is so much more hilly than the one that is always facing Earth.

The theory, outlined Wednesday in the journal Nature, comes complete with computer model runs showing how it might have happened and an illustration that looks like the bigger moon getting a pie in the face.

Outside experts said the idea makes sense, but they aren’t completely sold yet.

This all supposedly happened about 4.4 billion years ago, long before there was any life on Earth to gaze up and see the strange sight of dual moons. The moons themselves were young,

Wal-Mart files suit over retaining wall Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging a Minnesota-based company was negligent in supervising construction of a retaining wall on property of the Lawrence store near Sixth Street and Wakarusa Drive.

According to the suit filed Monday and assigned to U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia in Kansas City, Kan., Wal-Mart alleges New Technology Resources Inc., doing business as Millenia Wall Solutions, provided retaining wall and construction supervision services for the wall in 2008 while the store was being built.

The suit alleges the wall was defectively constructed and failed, necessitating Wal-Mart to demolish it and rebuild it at a cost of more than $75,000.

Wal-Mart is seeking monetary damages from the demolition and reconstruction of the wall.

In a February 2009 letter from Millenia Wall Solutions that was attached to the suit, the company said it believed the retaining wall “should perform as expected” once a fence that was placed against a portion of the wall was removed.

The store at 550 Congressional Drive in northwestern Lawrence opened in April 2009.

A man who answered the phone Wednesday at a number listed for the Minneapolisbased company said the company had been out of business “for quite some time.”

formed about 100 million years earlier when a giant planet smashed into Earth.

They both orbited Earth and sort of rose in the sky together, the smaller one trailing a few steps behind like a little sister in tow.

The smaller one was a planetary lightweight. The other was three times wider and 25 times heavier, its gravity so strong that the smaller one just couldn’t resist, even though it was parked a good bit away.

“They’re destined to collide. There’s no way out. ...

This big splat is a low-velocity collision,” said study co-

author Erik Asphaug, a planetary scientist at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

What Asphaug calls a slow crash is relative: It happened at more than 5,000 mph, but that’s about as slow as possible when you are talking planetary smashups. It’s slow enough that the rocks didn’t melt.

And because the smaller moon was more than 600 miles wide, the crash took a while to finish even at 5,000 mph. Asphaug likened the smaller moon to a rifle bullet and said, “People would be bored looking at it because it’s taking 10 minutes just for

the bullet to bury itself in the moon. This is an event if you were looking at, you’d need a big bag of popcorn.”

The rocks and crust from the smaller moon would have spread over and around the bigger moon without creating a crater, as a faster crash would have done.

“The physics is really surprisingly similar to a pie in the face,” Asphaug said.

And about a day later, everything was settled and the near and far sides of the moon looked different, Asphaug said.

Co-author Martin Jutzi of the University of Bern in Switzerland said the study was an attempt to explain the odd crust and mountainous terrain of the moon’s far side.

Asphaug noticed it looked as if something had been added to the surface, so the duo started running computer simulations of cosmic crashes.

Earth had always been an oddball in the solar system as the only planet with a single moon. While Venus and Mercury have no moons, Mars has two, while Saturn and Jupiter have more than 60 each. Even tiny Pluto, which was demoted to dwarf status, has four moons.

Lawrence Presbyterian Manor is determining whether to build a Community Life and Wellness Center on its campus at 14th Street and Kasold Drive.

Rhonda Parks, executive director, said leaders are having group discussions and interviews with Presbyterian residents, their families and the community at large to learn whether there’s interest in the project. They also need to see if it will be financially feasible.

The estimated cost for construction, furnishings and equipment is $2.5 million.

“We feel it furthers our mission,” Parks said. “Wellness and socialization activities raise a participant’s level of functioning, improve health and add to higher quality of life.”

Presbyterian Manor, which opened in 1976, offers independent living, assisted living and nursing care. It has about 180 residents.

Currently, it has a wellness room that’s just big enough for four or five pieces of equipment.

The proposed center would be about 6,000 square

It will be a homecoming of sorts for Chris Lowe.

Lowe is returning to Douglas County after beating out 51 other applicants for the city administrator’s job in Baldwin City.

Lowe’s mother, Caren, worked at the special education cooperative in Baldwin City for 25 to 30 years. His father, Mick, was a longtime educator and principal in the Lawrence school district. The family lived between Baldwin and Lawrence, near Pleasant Grove. So when Chris Lowe, 39, saw the administrator’s job open, he jumped at it.

“I’m just tremendously excited. It’s just a humbling experience because you just know what a great community it is, so there’s just a lot of excitement about making sure that it moves forward and in the right direction,” Lowe said. “I wouldn’t want to be any place else.”

On Monday, Baldwin City Council members voted unanimously to hire Lowe, who’s expected to begin work after Labor Day. “I really like the fact that

he’s got a local tie to this community, and he really likes that, too,” Baldwin City Mayor Ken Wagner said. “It’s been a long time since we’ve had somebody here with a local tie, so I think that can pay a big dividend to Baldwin City as we grow and develop the community and move the community forward.”

Lowe has never worked as a city administrator but has been the assistant city administrator for Warrensburg, Mo., and most recently Pleasant Hill, Mo. Lowe earned a bachelor’s degree from Kansas University and received a law degree from Marquette University Law School and a master’s degree in public administration from Bowie State University. Lowe’s wife, Dara, is a civilian physician at Whiteman Air Force Base who hopes to practice medicine in the area. The couple have three sons, Cameron, 7, Jake, 4, and Bryce, 3.

Lowe replaces Jeff Dingman, who left in May after eight years on the job to become deputy city administrator for Fort Smith, Ark. — Baldwin City Signal reporter Kyle Davis can be reached at 785-594-7080.

Union files actions against retirement plan

By Scott Rothschild srothschild@ljworld.com

TOPEKA — A state employees union on Wednesday alleged Gov. Sam Brownback’s administration ignored state laws when rolling out a voluntary retirement incentive program.

The Kansas Organization of State Employees asked a state district court to restrain the state from implementing the program, which Brownback officials have said will save the state millions of dollars.

And KOSE filed actions with the Kansas P ublic Employee Relations Board, alleging Brownback’s Department of Administration failed to notify KOSE of changes in conditions of employment as required by the labor agreement with the state.

Jane Carter, KOSE executive director, said that the union is not opposed to the concept of a voluntary retirement incentive but that implementation of such a program must adhere to state statutes and the labor agreement.

Carter has said the state should have met and discussed the proposal with KOSE to ensure that state employees, citizens and the public retirement system “were not negatively impacted” by the plan.

Department of Administration Secretary Dennis Taylor said the state wasn’t obligated to meet with KOSE to implement the program, attributed to inactivity. With although KOSE and state offiregular exercise, those health issues can be slowed, prevented or reversed.

cials are set to meet Aug. 10.

“For Secretary Taylor to implement a change to conditions of employment one week prior to meet and confer, with no notice to the Union, is quite disappointing,” Carter said.

Brownback’s office did not immediately respond to KOSE’s filings.

On Tuesday, Brownback said the retirement plan would save the state money by reducing the government payroll. Many of those who would retire would not be replaced.

Taylor said about 4,000 of the state’s 24,000 employees, who are currently eligible for full or early retirement would be eligible for the incentive program.

The voluntary program would be available to state retirement-eligible employees who offer to retire with the next 45 days.

As incentives, the state would provide a lump sum payment of $6,500 or continued health insurance coverage for up to five years.

Taylor said the deal is geared to attract retirement eligible state employees who may be staying on the job to maintain health coverage until they are eligible for Medicare at age 65.

Eligible employees have until Sept. 2 to make their offer to retire. Those whose offers are accepted will work no later than Sept. 19.

Going nowhere: Economy struggles to find footing

By Paul Wiseman and David K. Randall Associated Press Writers

W A S H I N G T O N — Shoppers won’t shop. Companies won’t hire. The government won’t spend on economic stimulus — it’s cutting instead. And the Federal Reserve is reluctant to do anything more.

Without much to invigorate growth, the economy may be in danger of slipping into a stupor like the one Japan has failed to shake off for more than a decade. And Wall Street is spooked.

The Dow Jones industrial average Wednesday barely broke an eight-day losing streak, finishing up about 30 points. A nine-day losing streak would have been the Dow’s first since February 1978.

Even with the gain, the Dow has fallen 828 points, or 6.5 percent, over the past nine trading days. Investors didn’t even pause to celebrate the resolution over the weekend of a dangerous debt standoff in Washington.

Stunned by news last week that the economy barely grew in the first half of 2011, economists are lowering their forecasts for the full year and recalculating the odds that the economy will slide back into recession.

Kurt Karl, chief U.S. economist at Swiss Re, has cut his 2011 forecast for growth this year to 1.8 percent from 2.6 percent. And he has bumped up the likelihood of another recession to 20 percent from 15 percent.

“The last week has made it much more likely that corporate profit estimates will be revised lower,” said Nick Kalivas, a vice president of f inancial research at MF Global.

The stocks that have fallen the furthest have been those of companies that fare best in economic expansions. Industrial companies like Caterpillar and Boeing, energy companies like Exxon Mobil and Chevron, and retailers like Amazon and Coach have all fallen by more than the broader stock market.

Investors have pushed government bond yields to their lowest level of the year. The

A TRADER WORKS on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday in New York.

With no clear sign of what will invigorate growth, there is mounting fear on Wall Street that the U.S. risks sliding into a longterm economic coma.

10-year Treasury note now yields 2.6 percent. Bond yields typically fall when the economy is weak because nervous investors view bonds as a safe place to park their money, and there’s less chance that inflation will erode their value.

The economy started sputtering early in the year. Economists at first thought the slowdown would be temporary, the result of a short-term rise in gasoline prices and an earthquake in Japan that disrupted shipments of auto parts and electronics.

But the weakness persisted. And it worsened as a political fight over debt and deficits raised the risk that the U.S. government would not be able to pay all its bills.

“It now seems fairly clear that those shocks have done a lot more damage than we expected,” says Leo Abruzzese, global forecasting director for the Economist Intelligence Unit. “They seem to have had a devastating effect on confidence.”

After the government reported that the economy grew at an annual pace of 0.4 percent in the first quarter and 1.3 percent in the second, Abruzzese is cutting his estimate for 2011 growth from 2.4 percent to less than 2 percent.

It’s hard to see anything

lifting growth to the 2.5 percent needed to keep unemployment from rising, let alone the 5 percent needed to bring the rate down significantly from June’s 9.2 percent.

“Sales are what keeps the market moving higher, and there’s not much demand when there’s only 0.4 percent growth,” said Andrew Goldberg, U.S. market strategist at JP Morgan Funds.

When the economy grows less than 2 percent over a 12month period, it risks slipping into recession, says Mark Vitner, senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities. Over the most recent such period, the economy grew just 1.6 percent.

Few economists are predicting another recession, despite a series of weak economic reports. Gasoline prices have come down from their high of almost $4 a gallon in May. And Japanese factories are starting to crank up again after the March earthquake.

At the heart of the economy’s problems are the debts that consumers built up during the early and mid-2000s.

Many borrowed against the equity in their homes, convinced that house prices would rise forever.

When housing prices collapsed, people were left owing more than their homes were worth. Others charged up their credit cards. Now it’s payback time, and Americans are spending less or spending cautiously as they slash their debts.

Companies are reluctant to hire until they’re convinced enough customers are ready to buy their products or services. Corporate profits are booming, though, because companies laid off millions of workers, learned to operate more efficiently with smaller staffs and expanded in growing markets overseas.

“If companies were inclined to hire, they could,” Abruzzese says.

So companies are waiting for consumers to spend, and consumers are waiting for companies to hire them or offer generous pay raises and job security. It’s a tough cycle to break.

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable The next deficit deal: Rough road ahead WASHINGTON — The special panel’s goal is lofty: concoct a deal both parties will embrace to slash federal deficits by a mammoth $1.5 trillion or more over the next decade.

Yet from the moment House and Senate leaders appoint the 12 members until the 2012 elections, hurricane-force political pressures are going to make it tough to produce anything substantial.

All sides will fiercely defend core priorities, Republicans opposing tax increases and defense cuts and Democrats protecting benefits for Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid recipients. Those happen to be exactly where nonpartisan analysts say savings must occur for any serious deficitcutting package to emerge.

The decisions — at least the next big ones — rest with the committee set up by the agreement that defused the debtlimit crisis this week.

If the special committee of lawmakers fails to produce a savings plan by Thanksgiving or if Congress rejects it by Christmas, this week’s compromise debt-limit accord between Obama and Congress will automatically trigger cuts of $1.2 trillion from much of the budget, with half from the military.

Obama urges Congress to resolve FAA shutdown

By Joan Lowy Associated Press Writer

W A S H I N G T O N — President Barack Obama urged Congress on Wednesday to end the partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration, which began nearly two weeks ago because of a partisan standoff over air service to rural communities and union organizing.

Obama noted that nearly 4,000 FAA workers have been furloughed, another 70,000 workers involved in airport construction projects are affected and the country stands to lose more than $1 billion in revenue from uncollected airline ticket taxes during the shutdown if Congress leaves the problem hanging until lawmakers return in September.

“So this is a lose-lose-lose situation,” he said.

Even in trying to pressure Congress to act, the White House is considering what options Obama has to intervene in the dispute, spokesman Jay Carney said.

When asked directly what he could do to step in, Obama told reporters: “I have made calls to key leaders, and I am urging them to get this done.”

A White House official later confirmed that Obama called House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, about the FAA flap on Wednesday.

The Republican leader’s public response was the whole problem can be resolved almost immediately if Senate Democrats will only accept a mere $16.5 million in air service subsidy cuts that the House last month attached to a bill to extend FAA’s operating authority.

“The only reason so many jobs are at stake is Senate Democratic leaders chose to play politics rather than pass the House bill,” Boehner said in a statement.

But Democratic leaders, speaking at a Capitol Hill news conference, said the cuts are a sham. The real

issue, they said, is that Republicans are provoking crisis after crisis to get Democrats to accept policy changes that the GOP wouldn’t be able to achieve through normal legislative negotiations.

That strategy was successful during the debt limit negotiations, but Democrats said they are drawing a line on the FAA shutdown.

“When you look back at their (Republican) threats to shut down the entire government — remember that? — unless they got tax breaks for the rich, followed by holding the full faith and credit of this government hostage to their desires to cut government spending. And now here we are a third time ... I hope the American people wake up.

This is their modus operandi: government by crisis that they make up,” Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said.

Democrats offered bills in the House and Senate to extend FAA’s operating authority with no strings attached, but action on the measures was blocked by Republicans. The House left town for its August recess on Monday night, and the Senate on Tuesday. But it’s still possible for Congress to pass those bills by unanimous consent without lawmakers returning to work if the leaders of both parties agree, Democrats said.

Obama also noted Congress has a procedural way of ending the shutdown without coming back.

“And they can have the fights that they want to have when they get back (in September),” he said. “Don’t put the livelihoods of thousands of people at risk, don’t put projects at risk, and don’t let $1 billion at a time when we’re scrambling for every dollar we can, get off the table because Congress did not act.”

The president said his “expectation, and I think the American people’s expectation is that this gets resolved before the end of this week.”

Oklahoma woman claims famed hijacker D.B. Cooper is her uncle OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — When an FBI agent pleaded several years ago for help finding notorious skyjacker D.B. Cooper, he wondered, offhandedly, if someone’s “odd uncle” might be their guy.

Marla Cooper believes that her late uncle Lynn Doyle Cooper was the man who hijacked a plane in 1971 and parachuted away with $200,000 ransom into a rainy night over the Pacific Northwest.

The FBI has for years tried to find out if D.B. Cooper survived the jump, chasing more than 1,000 leads as the man who pulled off the nation’s only unsolved hijacking became part of American folklore.

The agency said it is following up on a “credible” new lead in the Cooper case.

FBI agent Fred Gutt declined Wednesday, however, to say whether Marla Cooper was connected to that lead.

“It is an unsolved crime and we are obligated to address that if new, credible information comes to us,” he said, adding that the case is a low priority. The FBI is focused on criminal activity that threatens communities today, he said.

Marla Cooper told ABC News, which first reported her comments in an interview broadcast Wednesday, that she made the connection by piecing together her memories and her parents’ comments over the years. Cooper, however, did not say why she chose to speak out now.

Cooper claimed on “Good Morning America” that she heard her uncle, L.D. Cooper, and another uncle planning something “very mischie-

72 charged in probe of child sexual abuse network

A 1971 artist’s sketch provided by the FBI of the skyjacker known as “Dan Cooper” or “D.B. Cooper” vous” over the holidays in 1971. “I was watching them using some very expensive walkie-talkies that they had purchased,” she said.

Marla Cooper said her uncles said they were going turkey hunting around Thanksgiving.

On Nov. 24, 1971, a man who gave his name as Dan Cooper claimed shortly after takeoff in Portland, Ore., that he had a bomb, leading the flight crew of the Northwest Orient plane to land in Seattle. Passengers were exchanged for parachutes and ransom money.

The flight then took off for Mexico with the suspect and flight crew on board. The hijacker parachuted from the plane after dark as it flew south, apparently over a rugged, wooded region not far from Marla Cooper’s grandmother’s home in Sisters, Ore. Marla Cooper said her uncle, L.D. Cooper, came home claiming he had been in a car accident.

“My Uncle L.D. was wearing a white T-shirt, and he was bloody and bruised and a

mess, and I was horrified. I began to cry. My other uncle, who was with L.D., said, ‘Marla, just shut up and go get your dad,’” she said.

Marla Cooper said she heard her uncle say at the time, “We did it. Our money problems are over. We hijacked an airplane.”’

She said that, just before he died in 1995, her father mentioned his brother and said, “‘Don’t you remember he hijacked that airplane?’” In 2009, she said, her mother made a similar comment that raised her suspicions again.

Cooper said she contacted the FBI “as soon as I was sure that what I was remembering were real memories.”

Seattle-based FBI case agent Larry Carr was tasked with reigniting the case five years ago and the agency posted a “D.B. Cooper Redux” on its site in 2007, urging the public to help solve the enduring mystery.

The FBI released photos of a black J.C. Penney tie the hijacker wore and some of the stolen $20 bills found by a young boy in 1980 along the banks of the Columbia River.

WASHINGTON — Seventy-two people have been charged with participating in an international child pornography network that prosecutors say used an online bulletin board called Dreamboard to trade tens of thousands of images and videos of sexually abused children.

Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Wednesday a 20-month law enforcement effort called

Operation Delego targeted more than 600 Dreamboard members around the world for allegedly participating in the private, members-only Internet club created to promote pedophilia.

Numerous participants in the network sexually abused children ages 12 and under, produced images and video of the abuse and then shared it with other club members, according to court papers released in the case.

At a news conference at the Justice Department, the attorney general called the criminal activity a “nightmare” for the children and said that some of the children featured in the images and videos were just infants.

In many cases, the children being victimized were in obvious, and intentional, pain — even in distress and crying, just as the rules for one area of the bulletin board mandated, the attorney general said.

The camera’s eye doesn’t lie

EDITORIALS

Heat stress The recent extreme heat is hard on everyone, but it takes a special toll on farmers.

E

xhibitors at the Douglas County Fair expect hot weather, but the recent stretch of 100-degree-plus days is putting an extra strain on families who make their living from the land.

Keeping animals cool at the fairgrounds may be the focus this week, but taking care of animals at home on the farm also poses a special challenge. Attendance at the fair also may be affected by the number of area farmers who are cutting corn in an attempt to salvage the heat-ravaged crop.

It’s a reminder of the gamble farmers take every year on forces they can’t control: heat, rain, shifting markets, etc. Many local residents and businesses feel a significant impact from a heat wave like the one we’re in, but few are as affected as farmers. Retail sales may dip because many customers are staying home, and the average homeowner will have to pay hundreds of dollars more for air conditioning, but for farmers the losses can be devastating.

Crop prices are strong, but that doesn’t matter much if farmers have little to sell. Douglas County Extension director Bill Wood estimated the county’s corn acres would produce no more than half their normal yields because of the heat. That means farmers will only have half as much grain to sell to raise the money to pay off the loans they took out to put their crop in the ground. Those costs have been driven up by rising petroleum prices that affect not only fuel to run farm machinery but also the cost of fertilizers.

Severe heat also threatens livestock, and cattle deaths reportedly are up across the state. It doesn’t take many dead cattle to make a rancher’s bottom line drop into red ink.

Anyone tending a flower or vegetable garden this summer has a certain appreciation for the challenges being faced by other growers, from large-scale farmers to the people who sell their produce at local farmers’ markets.

No amount of watering can completely offset the impact of sustained 100-degree heat. For home gardeners, that may mean fewer tomatoes than usual; for farmers it means a substantial blow to their income.

Many people are struggling in the current stagnant economy, but most of us don’t have to depend on the weather to make a living. When fall arrives, the heat of this summer will become a memory for most of us, but for farmers, this fall will be a time to calculate their losses and prepare to gamble again on next year’s crop.

This all started with Rodney King.

More to the point, it started with a plumber named George Holliday.

Had he not been video recording from his balcony, that night in 1991 might have been business as usual for L.A. police who struck King, a harmless drunk, 50 times with their batons, breaking his leg, his cheekbone and his skull. Had Holliday not captured video proof to the contrary, they might have gotten away with some lame excuse: oops, he slipped on the stairs.

But thanks to Holliday’s camera, we all knew better.

Twenty years later, cameras have become ubiquitous. They have captured entertainer meltdowns, crashes, tasings, deaths and a seemingly endless carnival of police misbehavior: questionable beatings, controversial shootings and unprovoked violence by those we hire to protect and to serve.

Perhaps not surprisingly, many police now identify cameras as the enemy.

Last week, news photographer Phil Datz was arrested on Long Island for videotaping a police action on a public street. In June, a man named Narces Benoit said Miami Beach Police pulled him from his car by his hair, handcuffed him and stomped his cellphone (which police deny) after he used it to record video of a fatal police shooting. In May, a woman named Emily Good was arrested for recording a traffic stop from her

it is OK for police to “useIfcameras to catch us in

and arrested for recording videos that flatter the police.

The only thing more outrageous than the behavior is the excuses used to justify it. One of the cops in Rochester claimed, obviously for the benefit of the camera, that he did not feel “safe” with Emily Good recording him. Miami Beach Police claimed they confiscated videos only to safeguard the evidence.

Oh, please.

That stench you smell is the reek of official hypocrisy. Because the same police who so violently and vividly resist being recorded in the performance of their duties have no compunction about using the same technology against you and me, from the speed camera that catches you when you go flying through the school zone to the new gizmo that reads your license plate and checks for warrants If it is OK for police to use cameras to catch us in our misdeeds, why is it not OK for us to use cameras to catch police in theirs?

There is something chilling and totalitarian about this insistence that cops have the right to do as they wish without what amounts to public oversight. What is it they fear? After all, the officer who is being videotaped can protect himself by doing one simple thing: His job.

own front yard in Rochester, N.Y. In March, a Las Vegas man was beaten and arrested for videotaping police from his own driveway. In March of last year, a motorcyclist was arrested for recording his own traffic stop on a Maryland highway.

According to a 2010 report on the technology blog Gizmodo, at least three states have made it illegal to record an on-duty officer. Other states use existing wiretapping laws to support their arrests, a novel and selective interpretation of those statutes. What makes it novel is that such laws are typically invoked when telephone conversations are recorded; they require — Leonard Pitts Jr., winner of the 2004 that both parties are aware of, and Pulitzer Prize for commentary, is a columapprove, the recording.

Unfair action To the editor: The actions of Sens.

Roberts and Moran to torpedo the nomination of Steve Six to the federal bench are a disgrace to the state of Kansas and to the Senate. Mr. Six was the most effective attorney general Kansas has had since my return to my home state (1982) and could have made a fine, moderate federal judge, but for their actions.

Derek Schmidt rode the Republican wave in Kansas to defeat Six for re-election on a single issue: his decision not to waste taxpayer’s money by joining the lawsuit challenging the Healthcare Reform Act. Sen. Roberts’ statement that this “runs counter to … the decisions of two federal judges” (Journal-World, July 27) was disingenuous. Two other federal judges supported its constitutionality.

Equally dodgy was his assertion, “the average citizen can identify the constitutional defects of Obamacare [sic].” This is still a matter of hot debate among legal scholars, and will ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court, one hopes on constitutional, rather than ideological, grounds.

Mr. Six’s nomination had strong bipartisan support from legal experts. That Roberts and Moran reversed their initial positions and blocked this highly qualified nominee from even getting a vote from the Senate Judiciary Committee is very disappointing and highly undemocratic. The stated reasons are transparently political and ideological. The state and the nation have not been well served by their actions.

Silly salaries

OLD HOME TOWN From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for Aug. 4, 1911: “Mayor Bishop and the councilmen are much interested in the proposition YEARS to build a storm sewer to do away with AGO the unsightly and unhealthy open storm IN 1911 sewer which follows the ravine from McCook field to Central park at Henry street. This is certainly a work that is much needed from every standpoint and it is to be hoped that the people will co-operate enthusiastically with the council in its proposed work.”

“The police last night received a call to 813 Alabama where some one was trying to gain entrance to the A. E. Lowerey home. The officers responded to the call, but in the meantime the man on the outside of the window had been frightened and was gone when the police arrived.”

PUBLIC FORUM

Foreign films are summer’s best WASHINGTON — We are living in what New York Times called “a golden age of foreign films.” But American audiences wouldn’t know it unless they are lucky enough to live near an art-house cinema, or can tolerate subtitles on rented DVDs. The rising quality of foreign films over the past several years is in sharp contrast, frankly, with the ordinariness of many Hollywood offerings. This summer’s celluloid epics have mostly been as limp and flavorless as wet popcorn.

Here are 2011’s “summer blockbusters,” thus far: “Scream 4,” “Thor,” “Bridesmaids,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” “The Hangover Part II,” “Kung Fu Panda 2,” “Fast Five,” “Green Lantern,” “Cars 2,” “Transformers: Dark of the Moon, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2,” “Captain America” and “Cowboys and Aliens.”

That’s a pretty depressing list, if you ask me: eight sequels; three comic-book action heroes; two lame cartoons; one film inspired by a ride at a theme park; another inspired by a toy. This is what Hollywood presented to the world this summer as its peak cinematic offerings. Except for the antic “Bridesmaids,” and the iconic Harry Potter finale, what a sorry array.

The two best films I saw this summer were foreign-made — with small budgets but big, emotionally powerful themes. Both movies moved me to tears, but I suspect I’m a pushover. (One of my daughters once asked me: “Daddy, do you cry at all movies?”)

As it happens, I saw both on the same weekend, when the dominant film at the local multiplex was “Green Lantern.”

David Ignatius davidignatius@washpost.com

The first of these foreign gems is “Incendies,” a film by French-Canadian director Denis Villeneuve whose title translates roughly as “Scorched.” It is a searing story about a brother and sister who are propelled by their mother’s mysterious will to find their roots in a savage Middle Eastern country that could only be Lebanon.

“Incendies” is based on a play

by Wajdi Mouawad, and I can’t tell you much about the plot without giving away the astonishing denouement. Critic Michael O’Sullivan was not overstating things when he wrote in The Washington Post: “It knocks you off your feet and leaves you shaken.” How many recent American films could you say that about?

The second remarkable foreign film was “Biutiful,” directed by the brilliant Mexican Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. This one is better known thanks to an Academy Award nomination for its star, Javier Bardem. It’s a story that might not sound appealing, about a father in Barcelona who realizes he’s dying of cancer and wonders what to do with his children. But it’s so beautifully imagined and filmed that it achieves the kind of poignant universality that people once associated with classic American films, such as “It’s a Wonder-

ful Life” or “On the Waterfront.”

All of Inarritu’s movies examine the suffering and joy of the migrant workers who are in constant motion in our globalized world. In “Biutiful,” the dispossessed are African and Chinese migrants who live in constant fear but never lose their dignity. This Mexican director reaches to capture the big themes of 21st-century life in a way that most American directors don’t even attempt.

“Incendies” and “Biutiful” were both nominated for the foreign film Oscar this year (“Biutiful” won).

But despite this push, they’ve had puny box-office runs. Sure, you can see them on video, but they deserve to be seen in a theater.

Foreign language seems to be a killer for monolingual Americans.

How else to explain the non-distribution of the most entertaining gangster films of the past few years: Jacques Audiard’s 2009 masterpiece, “Un Prophete,” and Jean-Francois Richet’s two-part “Mesrine” series. These movies bear comparison with our gangster epics, such as the “Godfather” movies, but they’ve had tiny audiences in America. Too bad for us.

Americans are making some fine “indie” films. Last year’s “Winter’s Bone,” by Debra Granik, was an especially powerful movie.

But many of these small-budget films have small imagination and ambition, too. They are offbeat coming-of-age narratives, or chronicles of life at the margins.

For a really big movie this summer (in other terms than its specialeffects budget) you probably have to look at a small screen, and put on your glasses to read those subtitles.

— David Ignatius is a columnist for Washington Post Writers Group.

To the editor: What a pathetic comment on our world today: The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. These stories, side by side, on the first page of Sunday’s Journal-World. One family facing bankruptcy and poverty because promises were not kept by the chain store where Roy Coker worked, and the theater where his wife fell down stairs in a darkened theater.

And then we read where Sheahon Zenger is reviewing six-figure salaries within the Kansas University Athletics Department. We trust he is reviewing the salaries of top administrators and coaches with the purpose of significantly cutting them back. But why stop there? Let’s look at the chancellor and vice chancellor’s exorbitant salaries and work on down the administrative chain of command.

Paying off the contracts of coaches/athletic directors and others who get fired is outrageous. Let them have year-to-year contracts with no obligation beyond that. For starters, let them all contribute at least $10,000 to the Coker family and let the Cokers’ former employers and theater managers have a conscience and pay for medical expenses as promised at the time. It would seem the Me, Me, Me Generation is deeply entrenched, and this has to stop.

1 worker dies after propane explosions ANDOVER — One of three workers injured after a series of explosions at a propane company in south-central Kansas has died, authorities said Wednesday.

The Butler County Sheriff’s Department identified the Global Propane employee who died as Jeffrey Burnham, 40, of Wichita. He died Tuesday night at a burn hospital in Wichita.

Another worker, Jeremy Kessler, 25, of Wichita was listed in serious condition Wednesday at the hospital. A third employee, Barry Long of Newton was treated and released.

The Wichita Eagle reported that four houses and one business were damaged or destroyed by fires ignited by the explosions at Global Propane, which also sustained damage.

Jim Schmidt, director of Butler County Emergency Management, told the newspaper that the cause of the blasts is still not known.

The state fire marshal’s office is joining the investigation.

Residents reported hearing 20 to 30 explosions, which Schmidt said was the sound of small 40-pound canisters blowing up. Several canisters were also launched into nearby vehicles and buildings, some landing hundreds of yards away and starting fires.

Small Bones, Scammers at Replay Hot on the heels of last night's Ice Age show is another punk offering at the Replay, 946 Mass., with the riotous New Orleans duo Small Bones. The band's 2010 debut relied heavily on dual lyrical assaults and the strength in contrast between the male and female vocals that created a rowdy, almost combative sensation in their songs. A good thing, considering the songs focus on rejection or rebellion. It doesn't hurt that every track on their self-titled debut is economical to the core, running its course in less than three minutes.

Like last night's show, tonight's support offers a great contrast to the straightforward, punk headliner. Kansas City band Scammers is another duo, but frontman Phil Diamond handles the vocal work. Diamond croons his way through some strippeddown gothic songs that burn slowly and provide a solid foil to Small Bones' instant gratification. The show tonight is $3, with DJ Shanks on the patio.

SEDGWICK COUNTY

Official: Allow guns in some buildings WICHITA (AP) — A Sedgwick County commissioner believes prohibitions against carrying concealed weapons in public buildings infringes on the rights of people with permits to carry the weapons and he wants the commission to change the rules.

Concealed guns are prohibited in all 78 of the buildings Sedgwick County owns and leases. Commissioner Richard Ranzau, who is licensed to carry a concealed handgun, said the buildings were put off limits when the state passed its concealed-carry law in 2006 without the county establishing any regulations.

“It’s fundamental that I have a right to do it,” Ranzau said Tuesday during a meeting with county staff. “That’s the rule. To exclude it, we have to have a compelling reason. We need a policy that clearly shows the public we that we take their rights seriously and we’re not going to restrict those rights without some form of due process.”

The Wichita Eagle reports that county employees are prohibited from carrying guns into their workplaces.

The issue is expected to come up again at the commission’s meeting in September, County Manager William Buchanan said.

“Currently there’s an informal practice of just tagging all buildings,” County Counselor Rich Euson said.

On Tuesday, Buchanan presented a list of 40 county properties that he recommended allow concealed carry, including four health department buildings and 13 facilities used

by Comcare, a community mental health center. The list also included the Kansas Pavilions, the extension center, tag offices and fire stations. The county leases nine of the properties on the list and Buchanan said the owner would determine the rules.

The list did not include the county courthouse, although Ranzau wants weapons allowed at the old county courthouse, which includes two courtrooms and the elections office.

Melissa Wangemann, general counsel director of legislative services for the Kansas Association of Counties, said she wasn’t aware of

any counties that allowed concealed guns in their buildings. But she acknowledged that the law enacted five years ago has left some confusion.

State law says a county can allow concealed weapons into any of its buildings by simply not posting a sign prohibiting them, if the county adopts a resolution that states that.

“The reverse of that is they can prevent it in any county buildings by posting it, which is what we have now,” Euson added.

Ranzau said the posted signs give citizens a false sense of security, but Buchanan countered that the signs give the public some confidence that they won’t encounter a gun in a county facility.

“The issue is we’re trying to make citizens as healthy as possible,” Buchanan said.

“Why would we want to introduce something that interferes with that process?”

There have been 7,106 concealed-carry licenses issued to Sedgwick County residents as of Aug. 1, according to the state attorney general’s office. More than 35,000 have been issued statewide.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Moving forward

Jayhawks’ preseason under way today

KU hoops pledge returns to field amid tragedy

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Zach Peters’ first football practice of the 2011 season ended in tragedy Monday at Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas.

Prestonwood assistant coach Wade McLain, 55, died from a combination of heat exposure and heart disease during a prolonged break at the 4 p.m. practice — future Kansas University basketball player Peters’ first gridiron workout since his freshman year.

The 6-foot-9, 235-pounder had skipped the last two football seasons to concentrate on Peters basketball.

He orally committed to play hoops at KU in April of 2010.

“The kids are in shock, still,” Peters’ dad, Tim, said Wednesday night in a phone conversation.

“I think there are 16,000 families at the (Prestonwood Baptist) church that the school is associated with, and all are devastated.

Young kids ... they are not used to dealing with this.”

Zach and his teammates, who attended meetings Tuesday, were back on the football field at 8 a.m. Wednesday.

Zach hopes to pick up where he left off his freshman year when he caught 11 passes at wide receiver for 142 yards.

“My take on it is, I’ve told him to go down — don’t try to stay up and try to get extra yardage,” Tim Peters said with a laugh.

“Coach (Bill) Self thought it was a great idea. He played football. He thought for his (Zach’s) senior year ... the camaraderie and everything you have in football ...

“Zach loves to hit,” added Tim Peters, noting his son would have played football last season had he not sustained a concussion at the LeBron James Skills Academy in June of 2010.

“He’d rather be playing middle linebacker, but they won’t let him. He wants to go both ways, but the athletic director and football coach are keeping him (only) as a wide receiver. He’s going to Kansas to play basketball. They are trying to protect him from himself.”

Zach concentrated on basketball the entire summer.

“He did Michael Johnson Performance Training Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and ballet Tuesday and Thursdays,” Tim Peters said.

“He went to Kansas for a week and worked out with the guys (Jayhawks) at night. He worked out with John Lucas in Houston Please see PETERS, page 10B

SCENES FROM KANSAS UNIVERSITY’S FOOTBALL TEAM MOVE-IN Wednesday to Naismith Hall, clockwise, from top: cornerback Greg Brown, front, and receiver Chris Omigie carry pillows and clothes to their new homes; linebacker Steven Johnson shows off his new ’do, including a Jayhawk and his number; offensive lineman Duane Zlatnik, left, socializes with quarterbacks Jordan Webb, center, and Quinn Mecham; and cornerback Isiah Barfield carries his belongings, including a football blanket.

Some carried extra blankets and pillows, while others hauled in televisions and video-game systems, and a couple even teamed up to transport a minifridge into their temporary homes.

Yep, it’s that time of year again, and Wednesday the entire Kansas University football team reported on time and in style to the Jayhawks’ preseason football camp.

The first players arrived at Naismith Hall around 3:15 p.m., about 30 minutes ahead of the time they were scheduled to check in. Freshmen Brock Berglund, a quarterback from Highlands Ranch, Colo., and Victor Simmons, a defensive back from Olathe, were the first players to arrive with all of their necessities for the next couple of weeks.

A little more than an hour later, red-shirt freshman Jimmay Mundine was the last Jayhawk to check in, wielding a duffle bag, a pillow and a huge smile.

The scene looked a lot like the first day of junior high school.

Old friends were reacquainted, new friends slapped fives, and a certain energy and excitement hung in the air.

While Wednesday’s activity marked the first official day of the 2011 season, the Jayhawks weren’t all business all the time.

Red-shirt freshman wide receiver Connor Embree was overheard brokering a bold request of senior cornerback Isiah Barfield.

“Are you gonna do my laundry this week?” Embree, a transfer from UNLV, asked Barfield.

Judging by the silence that followed, it’s probably safe to assume Embree will be handling his own chores.

When another young Jayhawk wondered aloud if he was supposed to have brought different clothes, junior cornerback Greg Brown did not hide his disappointment.

“He brought Xbox, a TV and no clothes,” Brown said as he rolled his eyes.

Most of Wednesday’s ribbing was done in good fun, and it came from the players most would expect.

Hochevar continues post-break tear KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) — Luke Hochevar took some time to reflect during the All-Star break.

He has pitched like an All-Star since then.

Hochevar pitched neatly into the eighth inning, Billy Butler homered and drove in four runs, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Orioles, 6-2, Wednesday night.

Hochevar (8-8), the first player picked in the 2006 draft, is 40 in his past seven starts and has matched the longest winning streak of his career. He also set a personal high for wins in a season, having gone 7-13 in 2009.

“It gave me time to sit down and look at the things I wanted to

do,” Hochevar ORIOLES said of his time off. “I just VS. ROYALS looked down the road, what I When: 7:10 tonight wanted things Where: Kansas to look like in a City, Mo. month and the Pitchers: Britton things I needed (6-8) vs. Francis to do to get (4-11) there. Just really keeping the TV: FSKC (cable game simple channels 36, 236) and let things come to me instead of just trying so hard, just play the game instead of working at it.

“I’m just going out and trying to execute quality pitches and try to keep it as simple as possible

and just make good pitches really, changing speeds, keeping guys guessing, not being predictable,” he said. “You can do those things, but if you’re not executing, they’re good enough hitters to square the ball up.

That’s really where my focus has been, making quality pitches.”

Hochevar allowed one earned run and four hits in 71⁄3 innings.

He struck out seven, walked one and retired 16 straight batters during one stretch.

Hochevar is 3-0 with a 2.70 earned-run average in his past four starts.

“Hoch has been on a roll since the All-Star break,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He was ter-

rific. He pitched up, pitched down, pitched in, pitched out.

He’s refined his approach and simplified it.”

Jeremy Guthrie (5-15) yielded six runs on eight hits in seven innings. He leads the majors in losses.

Hochevar gave up a run in the first when Adam Jones doubled with two outs and scored on Vladimir Guerrero’s single, but did not allow another hit until the eighth.

“We didn’t mount much offense,” Orioles manager Buck Charlie Riedel/AP Photo Showalter said. “That was the KANSAS CITY CATCHER MANUEL PINA GESstory of the game.”

ROYALS

Chiefs’ rookies forced to play catch-up

By Dave Skretta Associated Press Writer

ST. JOSEPH, MO. — Ricky Stanzi didn’t pick up his first NFL playbook until about a week ago. He’d better be good at digesting that thick binder full of information, though, because his f irst preseason game with the Kansas City Chiefs is little more than a week away.

The disorganized and disjointed offseason brought on by maddening labor strife has been particularly hard on first-year players trying to find their way in professional football. Without rookie minicamps and organized team activities, guys such as Stanzi have been forced to play catch-up

K.C., Hali reach deal ST. JOSEPH, MO. (AP) — A person familiar with the deal tells the Associated Press that top pass rusher Tamba Hali and the Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to terms on a five-year deal worth $60 million.

Also Wednesday, former AllPro fullback Le’Ron McClain has agreed to a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. throughout the first week of training camp.

“We knew it would be a little tough. We’re just adjusting to it,” said Stanzi, who was selected in the fifth round out of Iowa. “You

just have to deal with the hand that you were given.”

Stanzi was able to work out with a few of his new teammates during an informal minicamp in Kansas City, but with no playbooks available, he couldn’t get started on the nuances of the Chiefs’ offense. Instead, he spent the rest of the summer working out on his own in Iowa City and back home in Ohio.

“There are some things that are the same, but overall it’s a different game,” Stanzi said after a walkthrough Wednesday morning.

“There’s an adjustment period.

It’s the same thing you go through coming from high school to college. There’s an adjustment period right now. I’m sure other rookies are feeling the same. You just have to kind of bear down and understand you’re going to make

mistakes and try to get better every day.”

The 135th overall draft pick, Stanzi has been diligent about spending extra time after practice with passing-game guru Jim Zorn.

Still, Stanzi acknowledged that most of their work has been on his mechanics. Learning the playbook is up to him — and he has plenty of ground to make up.

Wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin, the Chiefs’ first-round pick, is on the same steep learning curve.

He’s expected to complement Dwayne Bowe and free-agent signing Steve Breaston, despite a somewhat inconsistent college career at Pittsburgh that caused his draft stock to drop. But with prototypical size (6-foot-4, 228 pounds) and freakish athleticism, he has the chance to excel in the NFL’s expanding aerial game.

| SPORTS WRAP | SOCCER Sporting KC beats Real Salt Lake KANSAS CITY, KAN. — Roger Espinoza scored a rare goal before getting red-carded, and Sporting Kansas City went on to beat Real Salt Lake, 2-0, on Wednesday night to extend its club-record unbeaten streak to 14 games.

Teal Bunbury added his second goal in two games for Kansas City (7-6-9), which has won two of its last three and climbed over .500 for the first time since its season-opening 3-2 win at Chivas USA. RSL (9-5-6) lost back-to-back games for the first time since April 2010.

NFL NFL, players working to finish CBA NEW YORK — With yet another deadline approaching, NFL players and owners still are debating drug testing, benefits and the player conduct policy disciplinary process as they work to complete the collective bargaining agreement.

The NFL and the players union were discussing those issues Wednesday, with the league year scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. CDT today. That’s when players who signed new contracts will be allowed to practice for the first time if the players approve the CBA. Among the players’ concerns is how HGH testing would be implemented, who would oversee it and what would be a fair appeals process. Blood tests are used to look for HGH, while urine tests are used to detect other substances that violate the league’s drug policy.

Commissioner Roger Goodell reiterated the expectation an agreement would be finalized on time.

Giants say they won’t trade DE EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Giants have changed their minds about trading disgruntled defensive end Osi Umenyiora.

In an email to Umenyiora’s agent Tony Agnone, the Giants ordered him to stop speaking to other teams about a trade, the desired compensation for which would have been a first-round draft pick. Umenyiora, dissatisfied with a contract that will pay him $7.1 million over the remaining two seasons of a six-year, $41 million extension he signed in 2005, reportedly is looking for a six-year deal in excess of $10 million per year.

Former NFL star Bubba Smith dies LOS ANGELES — Former NFL defensive star Bubba Smith, who found a successful second career as an actor, died Wednesday in Los Angeles at age 66.

Los Angeles County coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter said Smith was found dead at his Baldwin Hills home. Winter said he didn’t know the circumstances or cause of death.

Police spokesman Richard French added the death does not appear to be suspicious.

The top overall pick in the 1967 draft after a sensational career at Michigan State, the 6foot-7 Smith spent five seasons with the Baltimore Colts and two seasons each with Oakland and Houston. He won the 1971 Super Bowl with the Colts.

MLB A-Rod to be interviewed in probe CHICAGO — Yankees star Alex Rodriguez will be interviewed by Major League Baseball as part of its investigation of his involvement in illegal poker games.

Rodriguez also faced questions about his gambling habits in 2005, when the Daily News reported he attended games at an underground poker club in New York. The slugging third baseman later acknowledged “it wasn’t the right thing to do,” and checked with MLB before holding a charity poker tournament the following year.

Now baseball wants to talk to him again.

“We take this very seriously and have been investigating this matter since the initial allegation,” MLB said Wednesday in a statement. “As part of the investigation, the commissioner’s office will interview Mr. Rodriguez.”

McGehee’s 3 HRs lift Brewers National League Brewers 10, Cardinals 5 MILWAUKEE — Casey McGehee homered three times, and Milwaukee rallied to beat St. Louis on Wednesday and add to its NL Central lead.

McGehee hit go-ahead, two-run homers in both the first and third innings and added a seventh-inning solo shot to give Milwaukee its eighth win in nine games at Miller Park. Corey Hart also homered for the Brewers, who extended their lead over the Cardinals to 31⁄2 games.

Rafael Furcal hit a threerun homer and drove in four runs off Randy Wolf (8-8) in his fourth game since being acquired Sunday in a trade with the Dodgers, but new Cardinals starter Edwin Jackson struggled.

Dear Annie: I am a 17-yearold girl, and I think there might be something wrong with me. My moods change frequently, sometimes at the drop of a hat. I feel lonely a lot, and little things can drop me into a depression.

Recently, I’ve felt depressed again and was wondering what I’m supposed to do. I’ve never told Dear Suffering: Aside from my parents about this. I once the history of marital infideli- attempted to tell my friends, ty, your husband is also guilty but they brushed off my pain

‘Jersey Shore’ goes abroad For all of the hype, “Jersey Shore” (9 p.m., MTV) is basically a variation on “Big Brother” (8 p.m., CBS), with exaggerated ethnic stereotypes in starring roles. The cable show amplifies the violence, vulgarity, promiscuity and self-delusion, but there’s little to distinguish it except the fact that “Shore” attracts millions of bored and jaded viewers every week.

This season, the antics move to Italy, daring us to cringe at the sight of the beachside Cro-Magnons trashing the culture of the old country accompanied by a cliché soundtrack of pizza parlor music.

More than most countries, Italy is used to ill-behaved tourists. And a random sampling of Italian television reveals behavior even more odious than “Jersey Shore.”

And standards even lower than MTV’s.

Italy’s particular misfortune is that Silvio Berlusconi, the media mogul directly responsible for the decline of Italian television, is also the president of the country. If you can imagine a combination of Donald Trump and The Situation sitting in the White House, you’re coming close.

So fear not for Italy. A visit from the trolllike Snooki is the least of that country’s worries.

New Jersey Italian-Americans have hardly been the only ethnic group debased by reality television’s search for the predictable. Viewers can find similar but different fare all over the dial tonight, from a two-part reunion of “Real Housewives of New York City” on Bravo (8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.), to “Sweet Home Alabama” (8 p.m.) and “Texas Women” (9 p.m.) on CMT. While some believe that this genre of programming has replaced soap operas or sitcoms, I contend that its exaggerated characters, outlandish outfits, strange hairdos and emphasis on the sensational and violent have origins in another spectacle. “IMPACT Wrestling” (9 p.m., Spike), for example. The Situation’s obsession with his physique and his nickname for his stomach muscles make the show’s wresting roots all the more evident. Viewers who look down on professional wrestling while convincing themselves that they’re watching “Jersey Shore” for the “irony” are even more delusional than Snooki and her pals. At least they’re getting paid to debase themselves. ● Model Toccara looks for love on “The Ultimate Merger” (8 p.m., TV One). ● “Titans” (8 p.m., CNBC) profiles the 19th-century distiller Jack Daniel and the $2 billion business that bears his name.

Tonight’s other highlights ● The top four emerge on “So You Think You Can Dance” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Will Ferrell guest-stars on “The Office” (8 p.m., NBC). ● Sue’s mother (Carol Burnett) arrives on “Glee” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Michael and Sam enter an armed compound on “Burn Notice” (8 p.m., USA). ● “Project Runway” (8 p.m., Lifetime) continues. ● Shark Week continues with “Shark City” (8 p.m., Discovery), followed by “When Fish Attack 3” (9 p.m.). ● Angie’s reality show on “30 Rock” (8:30 p.m., NBC). ● Andy’s in peril on “Rookie Blue” (9 p.m., ABC). ● A mock trial with real consequences on “Suits” (9 p.m., USA). ● Wilfred looks for love on “Wilfred” (9 p.m., FX).

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Thursday, Aug. 4: This year, you open up to a more easygoing lifestyle.

You socialize and network a lot more. You also might feel that someone could be deceiving you, or someone is deceiving you. You might not believe it. Be as realistic as possible. If you are single, you walk into a very exciting relationship, perhaps after several romps with different people. If you are attached, your charm works wonders; you also need to give more of yourself.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You might want to defer in order to buy some time. Revisit a goal to see if it is still important to you. Tonight: Let someone else choose.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ You feel as if you can do no more. Truth be told, after a brisk walk or some other break, if you focus again, you will energize and find a solution. Tonight: Take care of yourself.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★★★ Your creativity soars, but curb a tendency

jacquelinebigar.com

to spend or take a monetary risk. This act ultimately will backfire, though your optimism soars very high. Tonight: Think "early weekend."

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★ You could be more frustrated than you are aware. You might want to head in a new direction or do something very differently. Tonight: Head home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Keep communication flowing. Someone who often has pulled the wool over your eyes appears once more.

Tonight: Speak your mind.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ You might want to try a different suggestion or way of dealing with funds. Still, you seem to be sorely tempted to spend, especially if the expense involves education, travel or music. Tonight: Your treat.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ You could have nearly too much energy for your own good. How you dispel this unusual vitality could be important. As the hippies said: Make love, not war. Tonight: All smiles.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★ Take a timeout, knowing it will be a very short one. Stretch and try

to understand where someone is coming from.

Tonight: You don't need to share with anyone.

Dear Annie: I am in my early 50s and have been married for 34 years. My husband is the only man I have ever been with. For years, I put up with his cheating because I was concerned about my children and our financial future. Now the kids are grown and can take care of themselves.

My husband has been with his current lover for almost three years. Initially, I let it go, but then he started treating me even worse than before.

He would get angry if I went anywhere, but would never join me, so I stopped going out. Then he cut me off from any access to our money. I now have to ask him for whatever I need, and he gets to decide if I can have it or not.

He also told me I can no longer open the mail.

I started to check up on him and keep track of his phone calls. It took a while, but I was finally able to get undeniable proof of his affair. This is the part I can’t deal with: His lover is his first cousin. I’m so tired of living like this. I think I know what to do, but would like an objective opinion.

LHS girls tennis coach gives up football job

By Jesse Newell jnewell@ljworld.com

In order to accept an offer to become Lawrence High’s new girls tennis coach Wednesday, Chris Marshall had to make a sacrifice.

Marshall, who took over the LHS boys tennis program last year, resigned from his eighthgrade head football coaching position at Central Junior High.

and a lot of the (NBA) draftees there.”

Peters lost about 10 pounds and is now a solid 235, Tim revealed.

“Michael Johnson Training is one of Nike’s top performance facilities. The Great Britain Bobsled team is there, the top ballerinas in the world are there, the top football speedsters. It is phenomenal,”

He was at Central for three years after spending 14 years coaching football at Southwest.

“It’s kind of interesting how life works out,” Marshall said.

“I thought I’d be a college football coach, and now I’m a head varsity tennis coach of both boys and girls at Lawrence High. Life throws you little twists.”

The new coach’s transition

will be helped by Mike Gillam, who will remain as an assistant for the LHS girls.

Marshall said there will be advantages to presiding over both tennis prog rams at LHS. For one, the squads now will be able to combine equipment and fundraising more easily.

Last year, when the boys team raised money to buy two

new ball machines, it made for some interesting dilemmas. Should the LHS girls team be able to use the machines, even though they hadn’t raised the money to buy them? And what if the machines were damaged while being borrowed? Who would be responsible for them then?

Now, Marshall will be able to pool fundraising to make

the LHS tennis program better as a whole.

“It just makes things easier that way,” Marshall said.

“Then we’re all working toward the same goals.”

Marshall also is looking forward to being able to devote his time to tennis year-round.

That will include keeping upto-date with the newest technology.

He admitted the job had

been a bit overwhelming on his first day. After learning that the school board had approved his hiring at 11 a.m., Marshall said he’d spent about four hours on the phone to work out small details like scheduling and the ordering of team gear.

He doesn’t have a lot of time before the season starts up: LHS practices begin Aug. 15.

official practice, and Patterson, last year’s leading receiver, called people out, just as he has done throughout the summer on the series.

Tunde Bakare, a linebacker who transferred to KU from Highland Community College, checked in with checkered pajama pants and a tank

top. Patterson could not believe it.

“It’s 3 o’clock, bro,” Patterson shouted in Bakare’s direction. “Time to take off the pajamas.”

While the Jayhawks arrived in a variety of different vehicles and with several different types of music, few came in

with the style of safety Ray Mitchell, a red-shirt freshman from MacArthur High in Irving, Texas, the same school that produced KU running back James Sims.

Mitchell not only made the loudest entrance, with his beats blaring from his silver car, he also had the longest route to his

room as nearly a dozen teammates made sure to greet KU’s 2010 scout-team special-teams player of the year.

Now that they’re all checked in, the Jayhawks will hit the practice fields at 2:45 p.m. today for the season’s first official practice.

NCAA rules dictate teams

cannot put on pads until the third day of practices, so drills today and Friday will be held in shorts, practice jerseys and helmets.

In addition, teams are not allowed to conduct two-a-day practices during what’s known as the “acclimation period,” which runs through Tuesday.

Tim said. “It’s performance on every muscle — Nike’s highest technology performance.

It is an incredible workout.”

Working out with former NBA coach Lucas proved benef icial to Zach, who is Rivals.com’s No. 135-rated player in the Class of 2012.

“Coach Lucas loves to see how physical Zach gets. He always puts him up against ‘Big Baby’ Davis (Glen Davis, Boston Celtics) or somebody like that,” Tim said.

What’s ahead are some taxing football practices in the Texas heat.

“He’s working his butt off.

We are not too worried about the heat because he’s in the best shape of his life he’s ever been in,” Tim said.

A perfect scenario would be Prestonwood’s winning a third straight football state title followed by the school’s second state hoops title in four years.

Zach will be working out with the basketball team during first hour of each school day during this football season.

“In the state of Texas, football is a religion. Basketball is a sport,” Tim said. “The rea-

son he is going to Kansas is because basketball is a religion. He wishes he was already at Kansas, but he has another year here.”

Las Vegas’ Bishop Gorman High, has received scholarship offers from KU, UNLV, UCLA and UConn, according to Rivals.com.

“As a freshman, he has the highest potential of any kid I’ve seen at Gorman,” Gorman head coach Grant Rice told Rivals.com. “Just with his height, his ability and work ethic. He’s definitely going to be a special kid.

“It’s going to be one of those things where the small- to mid-level schools won’t even call because they know they won’t be in the ballpark.”
